New Guy is receiving the map overview map...
[Master] and welcome sir
New Guy has received the map overview map.
[New Guy] hello
[BiBo!!!] yeah, I got a wicked sunburn on monday and have been spending the week recovering
[Lisa] Hi! :)
[BiBo!!!] I am fairly certain it is infected at this point
[Lisa] infected?
[Master] Branwyn XP award: 500. Next level in 102736.
[Master] Llathandryll XP award: 500. Next level in 12800.
[Master] how do you get infected?
[BiBo!!!] my skin is coming off in gooey strips and my body is oozing puss. pretty sure thats an infection
[Master] that sounds like a reactoin to sunburn
[BiBo!!!] I dont do sunlight
[BiBo!!!] so when I do do it, my body becomes unhappy
[Lisa] how do you stay in sun long enought for that to happen and not notice?
[New Guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[BiBo!!!] well, it isnt that bad at the time
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] drinking
[BiBo!!!] and other people dont react as badly as I do
[Lisa] are you an albino?
[BiBo!!!] I am apparently part vampire
[BiBo!!!] no
[Lisa] I was close
[Master] well we will go without putting Llath in the sun tonight
[Master] dinner is served
[Master] we will start at the Lord's manor
[Master] then jump back to the Guard's dinner
[Lisa] (oh no!)
[Lisa] (you put Llathandryll in between both the Count's daughters?)
[Master] grins
[Master] so
[Master] Time of Day: 06:23 PM. Day 15 Pen ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 15th, 342 SKR.
[BiBo!!!] oh, I am at the dinner? I thought that was just the fighters
[Count (Master)] Welcome friends
[Count (Master)] (two simultaneious dinners)
[BiBo!!!] ah
[Count (Master)] we have new people with us for tonights dinner
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Count (Master)] here on my right is Jeffery, my son
[Count (Master)] next to him is my daughter Jessica
[Count (Master)] then a visiting Elven ambasador Llathandryll
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ::smiles politely and gives a slight bow::
[Count (Master)] then my daughter Penelope
[Count (Master)] Madam Ostman runs a very sucessful brothel out in town
[Count (Master)] Sheriff Sust is from the southern village of Ikmal
[Count (Master)] turning to his left
[Count (Master)] This is my son Joffery
[Count (Master)] the Court Mage of the Jistille Estates Branwyn the Mysterious
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((jeffery and joffery? are they twins?))
[Count (Master)] the Cleric Koorin
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::smiles and waves::
[Count (Master)] the good Uncle Conflict
[Count (Master)] and Lord Trustman who is visiting from the Finefur Estates
Count (Master) rings a bell
[Master] and dinner is served
[Master] the servants bring out plates to every place
[Master] and deliver glasses of wine in actual glass glasses
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((is there an obvious reason why he didnt introduce everyone at the table?))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what do we usually drink out of?)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((wooden mugs or wineskins))
[Master] wooden mugs, or ceramic if fancy
[Uncle Conflict (Master)] SO Koorin, how does it feel to travel with such a dangerous person?
[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Dangerous? Who?"
[Uncle Conflict (Master)] you travel with two mages? how much more dangerous can it be?
[Joffery (Master)] Mistress Branwyn, have you been enjoying yoru stay here with us?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Oh you should see some of the REALLY dangerous things we meet."
[Joffery (Master)] Perhaps I could take you out riding to get some fresh air, see the countryside
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "There was the time with the dragon turtle. He was as big as THREE SHIPS!"
[Sheriff Sust (Master)] Dragon turtle?!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would like that very much
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Compared to something like that, a mage is as dangerous as a porcupine."
[Sheriff Sust (Master)] where was this? they are very rare and extremely tasty
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I know! I made a lovely dinner out of its meat."
[Madam Ostman (Master)] unless you sit on a porcupine
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "This was up the river a ways."
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Well, I wouldnt recommend sitting on a mage either."
[Jessica (Master)] where are you traveling to next?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have heard there was an impressive library at the citadel. Do you think I might be able to visit it as well?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Oh I dont mind certain people sitting on me."
[Uncle Conflict (Master)] NO
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (i'll get a library card!)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((is uncle conflict an actual uncle or is that some sort of religious title?))
[Madam Ostman (Master)] I do beleive our steady as a stone uncle conflict has learned his manners from a brotherhood sworn to silence
[Madam Ostman (Master)] (uncle is a regligious title for the Kayugan church, here in the citadel)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "He speaks an aweful lot for that."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So the library is only open to priests I take it?
[Lord Trustman (Master)] so Llathandryl is it?
[Lord Trustman (Master)] where do people like you come from?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "That it is. My people come from the woods over and yonder." ::points in the direction he is from, whereever that is::
[Joffery (Master)] I think what the good Uncle means is that Mages are not looked upon very kindly and so that you would not be welcomed with open arms
[Jeffery (Master)] welcomed with hot pokers is more like it
[Jessica (Master)] you mean the woods out near Kilt Manor?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I fail to see why the hostility. You do not see mages burning priests for THEIR magical practices."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have heard that. But I think I may be able to be of service to Brother Stephanie.
[Penelope (Master)] I thought Elves where magical creatures
[Madam Ostman (Master)] I beleive that she could use some help
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I should like to have a word with him before I leave.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Yes. Around there. My people do take easily to magic. It is true, but we are not innately magical."
[Uncle Conflict (Master)] you have no buisness speaking of such matter
[Count (Master)] coughs
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Even if I could, shall we say, remove his affliction?
[Count (Master)] yes pelase tell us of thsi Magical Elven nautre
Joffery (Master) gently nudges B ranwyn
[Joffery (Master)] Can an Elf outrun a human?
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "It would depend on the elf and the human I suppose."
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "But neither is naturally faster than the other."
[Lord Trustman (Master)] I do not recall any elves being seen in this area fo rmany years, are you endangered?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Elves do have perhaps a bit more finesse on average, but only slightly so."
[Lord Trustman (Master)] perhaps we should be protective of you
[Master] (door brb)
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Not endangered, but my people do like to keep to themselves. So many strange people that would wish us harm for no reason other than our ears being slightly longer than a human's."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Are elf ears valuable?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I suppose to the right buyer, anything is valuable, but no more so than yours would be. I know I value mine quite a bit. Twould be a shame to not be able to hear this beautiful world."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Tis very true.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((pizza?))
[Master] (sadly no)
[Penelope (Master)] I know
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((you only have yourself to blame for that))
[Penelope (Master)] lets play a game
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If I cannot go to the library then perhaps another visit to the market could be arranged. There were some more presents I wished to buy.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "A game?"
[Jessica (Master)] Penelope,
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I do like games."
[Jessica (Master)] there is a time and place
[Jessica (Master)] we are here to eat and be entertained by our guests
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((how old are these girls?))
[Jessica (Master)] perhaps Llathandrill can tell us about his homeland where the rare and dangerous Elves life
[Jessica (Master)] live
[Jessica (Master)] (Jessica is about 14 and Penelope is about 10)
[Jessica (Master)] (the boys are twins and about 17/18)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he's in the kiddie section)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that changes things)
[Jessica (Master)] (all four are mariagable age)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Well, we are no more dangerous than humans are. Perhaps I could show you what my home is like."
[Jessica (Master)] I have ben to the woods near Kilt, and there are no elves there
[Jessica (Master)] maybe there are pixies,
[Jessica (Master)] are Elves just big pixies?
[Jessica (Master) (to New Guy only)] we will jump over to the guards dinner in a bit,
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Well, they do not show themselves to outsiders unless they have reason. But imagine this..."
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] not worried... enjoyin he dialogue
[Jessica (Master) (to New Guy only)] yeah we get weeks like this where it is mostly dialoge, then a few weeks of crazy fight after fight, that is what the next Act and the birthday game both have a bit of too
[Joffery (Master)] speaks quietly to Branwyn, I will be glad to go tot he library to fetch antyhing you need, we will just be discrete
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ::holds his hands out and makes a gesture as he speaks. the silverware in front of him twists and shimmers, changinging form. They stretch upwards until they look like tall trees standing on the table. the trees have exquisite buildings formed within them, worked from the living wood. Miniature elves can be seen going about their daily lives. Weaving magic, making tools. Going to school. Tending crops. Laughing and living.::
[Master] the table leans forward to watch, even Uncle Conflict, then he remembers himself and sits back in his chair, still watching but more reserved
[Count (Master)] Good Show Ambasador
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "My people live with nature. They understand that within nature there is magic. Understand that magic and you can make use of it. So many of us do take up the craft, but more as an art than anything."
[Uncle Conflict (Master)] but true magic is a gift
[Uncle Conflict (Master)] we are but a conduit for it
Branwyn (Lisa) whispers, "Thank you. I know that you would help me, but it's not that I need anything. It's just the thought of being in a room full of books would make me very happy. It is what I miss when I travel."
[Uncle Conflict (Master)] we can simply open our hearts and minds and the power of our lord flows through us
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Much like an artist takes up a brush, we take up mana and sculpt the world. And it is true that mana is a gift, but it is a gift for all if they choose to only accept it."
[Madam Ostman (Master)] I am happy to accept many gifts,
Branwyn (Lisa) adds, "And I would like to help that Stephanie fellow. Would put him in a much more tolerable mood I'd say."
[Jeffery (Master)] Koorin, where do halflings come from?
[Jeffery (Master)] is it true you have nests underground?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But if you would prefer him angry all the time...
[Jeffery (Master)] do you hatch like dwarves from rocks?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ::smirks at the madame and waves a hand. a rose appears in his fingers and he offers it to her.:: "Be careful. It is hot."
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "We live just like humans, just in smaller villages instead of these huge castles."
[Count (Master)] the Vilmar family has stood on this spot for the past 15 generations
[Count (Master)] one day one of my son's will rule the Estate
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Wow. Thats a long time to stand. Dont your feet get tired?"
[Count (Master)] and in this time of change I do have a bit of ambition that one shall be named consort as well
[Count (Master)] chuckles at Koorin, St Clig protects us when we get weary
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Oh, you have claim to that position do you? I was unaware."
[Jeffery (Master)] I am certain that we will do the family proud
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I cannot think of better men for it.
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Thats a nice Saint."
[Jeffery (Master)] We shall see, I am keenly interested in who the Queen will pick
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Is there any indication of who she is leaning towards?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is all quite exciting. I have heard that some families are campaigning quite strongly for the position.
[Jeffery (Master)] It will be a matter for her to influence the families on who will be chosen for the Consort
[Penelope (Master)] speaking up reciting from her lessons
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And of course that is not all, we of course are waiting to hear who the queen presumptive will be as well
[Penelope (Master)] The great families will gather and offer up suggestions to the Queen to be chosen for a Royal Consort
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I have heard a lot about human politics, though I do not know how much of it is true. I hear that some people resort to things such as kidnapping and murder to get ahead in these situations. Is there any truth to that?"
[Penelope (Master)] the Queen may choose before she announces her Heir or after
[Penelope (Master)] There are many admirable qualities to look for in a Royal Consort
[Penelope (Master)] He needs to be fertile, smart, strong and have good connections with the rest of the familes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is very true Penelope.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I do hear that consorts are good at making connections."
[Penelope (Master)] we have a good chance she says proudly, the Vilmars are not related by blood to any of the logical choices that Queen Catherine Eustace will make
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you hope that The Queen waits to choose the Consort until after she chooses her heir?
Count (Master) smiles at his daughter
[Count (Master)] well I am not quite sure who will be chosen by the Queen
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Blood connections would not be favorable in this situation?"
[Count (Master)] what have you heard are her favorites so far Branwyn?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] for Consort? I have heard nothing unfortunately.
[Joffery (Master)] I am hopeful that she picks her Heir first then the Families will know who will be a better match
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I agree. It seems more fitting.
[Count (Master)] I mean for the three choices Queen Catherine Eustace will make for her heir
[Jeffery (Master)] it is better to be chosen as Consort no matter the girl chosen
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh just rumurs really. The Mosskins were hoping her daughter might be in top consideration, but it now looks like that may not be the case.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry for bad typing there)
[Jeffery (Master)] (smile I will give you a moment to look at the three girls that the rumors are for)
[Jeffery (Master)] (before I respond to who you mention)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (all i remember was one was 10 - just a sec)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (chime in if you remember marco)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((honestly, at this point I have forgotten who we are trying to save and why she is important to begin with lol))
[Jeffery (Master)] (oh man, Bill will never want to join this group!)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((what? its been like a million months since we started this journey and I only barely knew who she was to begin with))
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] (How do yo figure?)
[Jeffery (Master)] (teasing Marco that he does not even know who the girl is that they are on the quest to save)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((just playing my character. he doesnt remember the names of lots of women hes met :) ))
[Jeffery (Master)] LOL
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ok - got it but I was hoping to a reaction that Mosskin is out of the running)
[Master] (when you mention the three girls he will have reacionts to all of them)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (have to mention them all at once?)
[Master] yeap
[Master] and he will take it from there
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (double sigh - I was trying to play a you may have kidnapped a loser card and you won't let me)
[Master] (I have a reason, grins)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So with the Willamina Mosskin not being highly considered I would suppose the only true contenders would be the lady from Quelcon or the young girl from Cowles.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] At least that is what people are saying.
[Uncle Conflict (Master)] I would hope that the mosskin girl is not considered at all,
[Uncle Conflict (Master)] the thought of a mage taking the crown
[Uncle Conflict (Master)] we do not need a Queen who can do such things
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs, "I am the mage Sir, not Willamina"
[Count (Master)] It is not that she is a Mage Uncle Conflict, it is that she is highely qualified
[Count (Master)] but she is only 8 years old, maybe in the old days there woudl be a child queen but not now
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is quite beautiful, comes from a wonderful family and I personally know her and like her very much.
[Count (Master)] and the Cowles girl while very appropriate will not be chosen
[Count (Master)] (Lisa, the Missus Mosskin you are looking for is late teens, has been at court several times, i snot 8)
[Count (Master)] I would be very happy to see the Cowles become Queen
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I was just going to ask - we were not talking to a child)
[Count (Master)] but then what would give the family at least two queens this century
[Count (Master)] so that leaves the young woman from Quelcon
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the Count puzzled, "You mean to the Cowles girl is a child. Not Wilamina"
[Count (Master)] No, Wilamina Mosskin is the prodigy mage, she may be incredibly smart but she is not old enough to be Queen as any common man can tell
[Count (Master)] I am certain that her name is out there as a nod to the family
Branwyn (Lisa) slams her hand down on the table, "I knew it!"
[Count (Master)] but will never be chosen
Branwyn (Lisa) quickly realizes where is is
[Joffery (Master)] looks over at her
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I apologize. I have just remembered something and it startled me.
Branwyn (Lisa) mutters "vampires!"
Branwyn (Lisa) takes her glass of wine and very inappropriately empties her glass
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((what are we eating by the way?))
[Jeffery (Master)] I think we are all agreed that Queen Catherine Eustace will be chosing the lovely Imiguarde Quelcon
[Jeffery (Master)] (pheasant, boar, fish, several different dishes ahve come and gone)
[Jeffery (Master)] and Imiguarde will be a solid Queen
Branwyn (Lisa) starting to regain her composure "Perhaps that will be the case"
Jessica (Master) SLAPS Jeffery
[Jessica (Master)] DO NOT SAY SUCH THINGS
[Jessica (Master)] you know better than to be mean to a poor girl like that
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Mean?"
[Joffery (Master)] Jeffery is being indelicate about Imiguarde Quelcon's shape
[Master] Time of Day: 06:38 PM. Day 15 Pen ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 15th, 342 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 06:53 PM. Day 15 Pen ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 15th, 342 SKR.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Ah. I see. Tis bad luck to insult women."
Count (Master) stands up
[Count (Master)] Thank you all for an entertaining dinner
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Count Vilmar?
[Count (Master)] I will repair to my parlor for the evening
[Count (Master)] yes Branwyn?
[Master] Time of Day: 07:08 PM. Day 15 Pen ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 15th, 342 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 07:23 PM. Day 15 Pen ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 15th, 342 SKR.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Is it possible to have a private audience with you and Llathandryll later tonight or tomorrow morning? There is something most urgent that we need to discuss"
[Count (Master)] I will have my secretary make an appointment for you for tommorrow
Branwyn (Lisa) bows, "Thank you"
[Master] and dinner breaks up
[Master] Branwyn walks with Llath and Koorin to the courtyard
[Master] you have a moment to speak before they leave for the evening
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "So... what was that about?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Llathandryll you must come back in the morning to talk to the Count with me. Willamina is with the vampires.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] At the Drake estate with only Toybin and Miranda there.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I knew she wouldn't be here.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "And why do you say that?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You know why! Even as I tried to correct them, they insisted that Willamina was an 8 year old. And a mage of all things!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You have met Willamina, She is a fine lady of the twins' age and certainly no mage
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "And so.... this leads you to believe she is there... how?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Were you asleep this entire time we have travelled?
[Master] lol
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Apparently."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The man in the Red Cloak?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Princess Anatascia?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Toybin?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "What of them?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We had a meeting back in Portstown before we were all attacked by scrags
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Yes."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I really don't understand the point of having such large ears if you choose not to use them
[Branwyn (Lisa)] There were two possible families that were said to have kidnapped Willamina. The Vilmars and the Drakes.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Yes..."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Drake Estates is in the Ghostwood area only 40 miles from where the ceremony will be.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Drakes want this as badly as the Vilmars but unfortunately the Drakes are a bunch of vampires.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If they turn Willamina into a vampirte before the naming ceremony it almost assures them a place as Consort.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If the Vilmars wouldn't recognize Willamina if she walked into the Manor then she has to be at the Drakes.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We must conclude here and leave tomorrow.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "That last part is the only part you needed to tell me. The leap in logic was the part I was having a tad bit of trouble following."
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] sorry have to afk for a few minutes
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "But if that is their plan, I fear we may already be too late."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think we should tell the Count everything.
[Master (to New Guy only)] no worries, but you just got a nice wrap up!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I know! But we have to try.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And besides, we have to make sure Miranda is safe.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't suppose there is some priest out there that can "un-make" a vampire is there?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Not that I am aware of. I believe it is a permanent thing."
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Though it does not necessarily mean they have control over her. In fact they would have more control over her as a human."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well even if they have turned her into a vampire, we can't just leave her there.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "As they can control the minds of the living with their gaze."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Is that a charm thing? I have my ring that protects against that.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "And if it came out that she was a vampire, then I imagine that would cause some trouble. Yes, it is a charm thing."
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "There are many ways to test for vampirism after all."
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Almost none to test for charming."
[Master] (you can gues that there are many people who would not want a Vampire for Queen)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you agree we should tell the Count?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I am not sure. I can think of reasons both for and against it."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but everybody knows Drakes are vampires, correct?)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((big difference between queen and consort))
[Master] chuckles, the name of Act IV is called Everyone Knows
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I was thinking that he is sure to know something of the Drake Estate and might be able to help us
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And will be at the Naming ceremony in case we might need some assistance.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I suppose. It would just depend on how willing he is to stick out his neck for this."
[Master] hint to be consort your son takes over when the new Queen is picked
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think he is a kind and fair man
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Yes, but that does not mean he wants to risk starting a war."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He would be preventing one
[Master] if you check the Drillian History page, Vilmar has been on the winning side of every civil war in history
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "As I say, I can see reasons for and against telling him. I will side with your judgement."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If they turn Mina and have vampire rulers and the Count does nothing, then there would most likely be war
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Everyone should get ready to go tomorrow after the meeting. We will need to make haste.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Agreed."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "We have spent far too much time here already. The quicker we go, the better."
[Master] lol it has been two night, this is the third night
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I was going to let that go)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((thats far too long!))
[Master] you know you have another week befroe you have to leave to get to the ceremony on time
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we will need that time to break into vampire mansion)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((considering I was expecting sneaking in that night, doing our thing and leaving, this is 200% longer than my expectation))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's because you didn't hear the fact that we didn't know if she was even here)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((I did hear that))
[Master] smiles
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((by doing our thing I meant search the castle))
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((and if she wasnt there, move on))
[Master] Bill you back?
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] yep
[Master] Ok so jumping back in time a short bit
[Master] and doing the Guard's dinner
[Master] do you remember where you were last week?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes)
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] at dinner weren't we?
[Master] yes and just being accused of being spys
[Master] spies
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo had just finished explaining how they got found in the sewer)
[Captain Miltor (Master)] so I wanted to ahve the two of you here
[Captain Miltor (Master)] to talk about why you are here,
[Captain Miltor (Master)] if you are not spies, then why are you here in the Citadal
[Captain Miltor (Master)] specifically you Sir Indigo,
[Captain Miltor (Master)] Master Androp here seems to be quite credible
[Captain Miltor (Master)] but I am not sure why he has allied himself with you
[Indigo (Lisa)] Do I really have to say all of that again?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] (no it is apparent that he does not believe you are letting Branwyn stay alone)
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) looks uncomfortable as glances between the Captain and Indigo
[Captain Miltor (Master)] (we can go on with what you said before, he is just very skeptical)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (he wasn't going to)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (that was IC)
[Captain Miltor (Master)] (ahhh sorry)
[Captain Miltor (Master)] Sir Indigo
[Captain Miltor (Master)] this just seems wrong to me
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I fully understand that you are a bodyguard for a mysterious mage
[Captain Miltor (Master)] and you do things that I might not want to know aobut
[Captain Miltor (Master)] but here in my Citadal
[Indigo (Lisa)] Huih?
[Indigo (Lisa)] What would I do that you wouldn't want to know about?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] here in my citadel I need to know that my people will be safe
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you work for a mage
[Captain Miltor (Master)] mages do unspeakable things sometimes
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I know I know
[Captain Miltor (Master)] it does not make them evil per se
[Captain Miltor (Master)] but it does not mean that I have to know every detail either
[Captain Miltor (Master)] what I am concerned with is that I need to know I can trust you
[Captain Miltor (Master)] and you looking at Androp
[Indigo (Lisa)] Branwyn doesn't do unspeakable things
[Indigo (Lisa)] Not like that disemboweling priest you have!
[Captain Miltor (Master)] Brother Stephanie is a problem I do admit
[Indigo (Lisa)] I can barely even pronounce that word it is so bad
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Um... trust me with what? Not being a spy? *looks confused*
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I try hard to keep mages away from the citadel
[Captain Miltor (Master)] so as to avoid any problems with innocent people getting incinerated
[Captain Miltor (Master)] yes Sir Androp, can you give me a good reason to trust you to not be a spy
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I do like the two of you
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you seem like good solid men,
[Captain Miltor (Master)] well
[Captain Miltor (Master)] looks at Indigo
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you know what I mean
[Indigo (Lisa)] No! I don't know what you mean! You talk in riddles.
[Guard #3 (Master)] Captain,
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] How about because I'm not? I come from Rivers Bend and I'm the son of an innkeeper... I wouldn't even know who I'd be spying for if I was one
[Guard #3 (Master)] maybe you are being too nice
[Captain Miltor (Master)] Indigo, I want to believe you are not a spy
[Captain Miltor (Master)] that you are here to serve your Mistress
[Captain Miltor (Master)] and do what she says in a reasonable manner
[Indigo (Lisa)] All spies know who they are spying for Androp. That's how they get paid.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] and that you would not actually do harmful things
[Indigo (Lisa)] So if no one is paying you to be a spy then you can't be one
[Guard #7 (Master)] they could swear for a priest
[Guard #4 (Master)] oh that is right nice
[Indigo (Lisa)] I only do harmful things that any fighter would do and in defense of myself or my friends.
[Guard #4 (Master)] take a stranger to a priest and make them swear, I work for a mage, I promise not to do anything wrong
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *looks at Indigo and then back at the Captain* I'm not being paid by anyone... for anything. All the silver I have on me is because I was lucky while rolling some dice.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] nods at Androp
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I believe you
[Captain Miltor (Master)] looks at Indigo
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I want to believe you
[Captain Miltor (Master)] somethign about you just is trustworthy
[Indigo (Lisa)] Thank you. I think you would understand if you knew Branwyn better.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] but of course if I was hiring a spy that is exactly what I would want
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you see my dilema
[Indigo (Lisa)] She is not what most people think of mages.
Captain Miltor (Master) looks around the room
[Captain Miltor (Master)] everyone here is bound by an oath of silence
[Captain Miltor (Master)] these are my trusted advisors and top guards
[Indigo (Lisa)] I think spies can't help themselves but look sneaky.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] anythign you say here will remain confidential between us
[Indigo (Lisa)] But your loyalty is to the Count. and the Citadel first. So if I said something you think the Count would want to know you would tell him.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] if it is a danger to him yes
[Indigo (Lisa)] And I understand that. Loyalty is important
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well he is in no danger from me unless he harms me first.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] Tell me why you are here and your Mistress is here
[Captain Miltor (Master)] the truth please Sir Indigo
[Indigo (Lisa)] I TOLD YOU!
[Captain Miltor (Master)] sighs
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you are not just traveling to visit new places
[Indigo (Lisa)] What do you think I am doing here?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] the log books have been tampered with
[Indigo (Lisa)] That is what is bothering me. You seem to think you know but you won't say it.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I do not know
[Indigo (Lisa)] I didn't do anything to the log books.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] if it was just you I would say you are a spy and lock you up
[Indigo (Lisa)] But then Branwyn would come and get me again.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] but Androp here has been welcomed into the Citadel and you are with him
[Captain Miltor (Master)] You see my point of view do you not?
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) keeps quiet and looks like he would like to be somewhere else
[Indigo (Lisa)] I guess.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you see how unlikely it looks that you are just traveling
[Indigo (Lisa)] But you said Branwyn's name was not in there either, right?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] can you not tell me anythign more?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] correct
[Captain Miltor (Master)] nor her guests tonight with the Count
[Indigo (Lisa)] and what did she do as soon as she got here?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I have replaced several of the servants with guards
[Indigo (Lisa)] She wrote a note to the Count
[Captain Miltor (Master)] the dinner might take longer than expected
[Captain Miltor (Master)] but the Count will be as safe as I can make him
[Indigo (Lisa)] Why would she rip her name out of a stupid book then announce her presence
[Captain Miltor (Master)] and she never mentioned you in her note
[Captain Miltor (Master)] why would she do that?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you are her known confidant
[Indigo (Lisa)] That's what I'm asking you
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you appear in the citadel
[Indigo (Lisa)] It makes no sense!
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you must admit it looks suspicous
[Captain Miltor (Master)] again, I am not detaining you Sir Androp, nor you Master Indigo
[Indigo (Lisa)] That doesn't mean we are with eachother all day every day
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I am simply trying to understand
[Captain Miltor (Master)] sighs
[Captain Miltor (Master)] very well
[Indigo (Lisa)] (try harder)
[Captain Miltor (Master)] (lol)
[Captain Miltor (Master)] (he is a guard, he is programed to be worried about everything )
[Indigo (Lisa)] I can tell you we are travelling. If we happen to run into someone in our travels, we would be happy. But we are not here to attacke the Count or his family.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] is this someone you might run into a danger to the Count?
Indigo (Lisa) laughs "No. In fact she is quite helpless"
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I have found that very few women are helpless,
[Indigo (Lisa)] I didn't say she was a woman
[Captain Miltor (Master)] is there anything you can tell me about this woman? perhaps I can help you with her?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you said she is helpless Master Indigo
[Captain Miltor (Master)] which does lead me to reinforce that you are not a spy
[Captain Miltor (Master)] as it is a very basic thing to conceal
[Indigo (Lisa)] oh... I guess so
[Captain Miltor (Master)] takes a deep breath
[Indigo (Lisa)] I am not good at concealing
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I want you both to swear that you will ask the Guard for help if you have any problems with this mystery woman
[Indigo (Lisa)] Which is why I wish I could just eat my dinner
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I do not want my Citadel turned into a battle ground
[Captain Miltor (Master)] will you both promise me that?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't want to turn the citadel into a battle ground either.
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Um... sure. I'll swear that... not sure really what mystery woman you're talking about but I'll swear.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Have you ever fought someone and you told them to stop or bad things will happen and they keep trying to attack you anyway?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] rarely, it is one of the perks of being the Captain here in the Citadel
[Captain Miltor (Master)] but I take your point
[Indigo (Lisa)] So they always stop when you tell them to?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] they rarely start anymore, he says with a wolfish grin
[Indigo (Lisa)] No one ever believes me. It is frustrating.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you are a well known master of the sword
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you are the companion of a famous mage
[Indigo (Lisa)] I know! You would think then they would stop.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] your actions have great consequence
[Indigo (Lisa)] I hope not
[Captain Miltor (Master)] raises his mug to Indigo,
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't want to be consequential
[Captain Miltor (Master)] your hopes are not met in this case Master Indigo
[Captain Miltor (Master)] your reputation continues to grow
[Indigo (Lisa)] But you think I am a spy. Then I must not have a very good reputation.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] no, I think you have a very good reputation, which is who I would recruit to be a spy
[Captain Miltor (Master)] one of these men at this table would be my choice for a spy
[Captain Miltor (Master)] not some scruffy thief
[Indigo (Lisa)] But people with good reputations would not accept.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Unless of course you had to spy for a noble cause.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] but if I need it done, your concious would goad you into working for it
[Captain Miltor (Master)] raises a toast again
[Indigo (Lisa)] to save the kingdom maybe
[Captain Miltor (Master)] see we do think
[Captain Miltor (Master)] very well
[Captain Miltor (Master)] if you find this unknown wonman
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you will let me know?
[Indigo (Lisa)] If we find her here, there will be no doubt that you will know.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I do hope it is not because either of you are in my jail cells again!
[Captain Miltor (Master)] toasts Androp
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you are either very brave or very sure of yoru skills to travel with him
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *clears his throat and raises his glass in response*
[Captain Miltor (Master)] let us finish our meal
[Captain Miltor (Master)] tell me a story about your travels you two
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes!
Indigo (Lisa) starts to eat happily
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] I... uh... thanks. *sets the glass down and digs into his dinner*
[Captain Miltor (Master) (to New Guy only)] make anything up, you are 5th level, you can come up with just about anythign you want
[Captain Miltor (Master)] have you had any troubles outside the Estate?
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] oh Androp isn't going to say much... kind of put off by this whole thing... so whatever he says it'll be small talk with minimal details.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] Letting dinner proceed
[Master] after everyone eats and drinks
[Master] the captain looks at both of you and nods, bids you fair well and good night
[Master] then turns out out intot he courtyard
[Master] where Branwyn and Llath are having a heated discussion and Koorin is looking bored
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 194'07".
[Indigo (Lisa)] That was a terrible dinner!
[Master] Indigo moved 188'10".
Lisa is receiving the map manor ground floor iron guard area...
Lisa has received the map manor ground floor iron guard area.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] I would hardly call it heated
[Master] lol
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Yea... wasn't fun
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] more like lecturing a child who doesnt understand what you are talking about
[Master] laughs
[Indigo (Lisa)] I wanted to talk about what it's like in the Iron Guard and the Arm of Cahus and all he wanted to do was say we were spies
[Indigo (Lisa)] Might as well have left us in the cells
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *clears his throat* Well, I am glad he didn't... rather have a bad dinner then be stuck in a cell
[Indigo (Lisa)] He liked you though!
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *turns to look at Indigo* I have to ask though... why would they kill us? For trespassing?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ::says to bran:: "So, I suppose this is the part where we tell the otherse whats up?"
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] I mean, if your friend... Branwyn was her name... if she didn't vouch for us would they have killed us?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I hadn't thought of that. I guess they would have.
[Master] Indigo and Androp Ilkep moved 27'05".
[Indigo (Lisa)] They must not like people in the sewers
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *shakes his heand and scowls* Seems kinda harsh...
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Branwyn! The Captain thinks I am a spy.
Indigo (Lisa) runs up to her
[Indigo (Lisa)] But I didn't tell him that I was a spy
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *glances up as they approach the others and gives a nod of greeting* Hello... hope your dinner was better.
[Indigo (Lisa)] I am sort of, aren't I?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "We are leaving. Pack your things ladies."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are not a spy Indigo
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And yes, we are leaving in the morning.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We must speak to the Count one last time and then be off.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Androp, that is your name?
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *nods* Yes... um... milady.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Androp, thank you for helping do, um, whatever it was that you did.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can I perhaps pay you for your services before we leave?
[Indigo (Lisa)] So did you find Missus Moskkin? Was there a fight? Where is she?
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *looks a little uncomfortable and glances between Indigo and Branwyn* Uh... yea I guess... but um... well you see... I was thinking maybe I could ... maybe go with you and Indigo here... oh and the elf and Koorin. You see...
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] I really have no reason to stay here... that is... they don't want me as part of the guard... and I really dont' want to go back to Rivers Bend.
[Master (to Lisa only)] if you can say what you want I have a plan for later on anyway, Grins
[Indigo (Lisa)] Sure! Androp can come too! I bet he's never been to a real Court before and seen a Queen and Princess and everything!
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] And Indigo told me about *glances about quickly* Well he mentioned you were looking for someone... I could help.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But Indigo, we haven't found her. She is not here.
[Indigo (Lisa)] She's not?
[Indigo (Lisa)] But Sir Toybin said...
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Either here or there. Its not here, so it must be there."
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "So there we go."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Toybin was wrong and Red Cloak was right.
[Master] how galling is that to admit?
[Master] red cloak was right
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Androp, you should think twice before asking to come with us.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes I hate that)
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *frowns and looks confused* Why is that?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We are going to the Drake Estate
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Ghostwood area
[Master (to New Guy only)] no clue never heard of
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] heh was just going to ask
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The family is made up of vampires who have captured the lady we are seeking.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I cannot ask you to join us and face such dangers.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((I kinda figured whichever one we chose, it would be the other one))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (me too)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (with a name like Mina - had to be Dracula who took her)
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Okay... *thinks a moment* well, how are you going to face such creatures? With magic?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but Branwyn doesn't know that)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have just found out this news but minutes ago. I have not thought about it yet. But I am sure magic will be involved.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And swords and anything else that will achieve our goals
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "My magic will be pretty much useless against vampires."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You haven't happened to have a history of killing vampires do you?
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *shakes his head* No... never really seen one
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "No, but my magic doesnt tend to work on undead."
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "their minds are too foreign"
[Indigo (Lisa)] I've ...
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "If they have minds at all."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Umm, too bad we can't go home and find the Brothers first.
[Indigo (Lisa)] They hunt them.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Of course they have minds. They are very smart.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "vampires, yes. I was referring to undead in general."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh
[Master] (brothers are headquartered at the Uklo estates south of where you are now, almost opposite the drake estates from the Cowles estates)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (nice! that might be helpful)
[Master] (by the way Bill on the main Campaign World page there is a Google Earth plug in for all of this)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have two people scouting that area now. If we can get there, we might have more information and can make a plan
[Master] (you can download it and see where you are, etc)
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] (okay thanks)
[Master] Time of Day: 07:38 PM. Day 15 Pen ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 15th, 342 SKR.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so if Guy and John don't come back for a couple weeks, will they be stuck in the citadel?)
[Master] not at all
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] (They are always just a round behind))
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] (They are a little slow you see))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So you see Androp why I cannot possibly ask you to come with us.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] I understand... *thinks a moment* thank you for the warning... but I'd like to come along just the same. You see...
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "But if on the other hand you want to risk yourself needlessly to fight an army of creatures who are individually hoplessly more powerful than any of us, feel free to be our body shield."
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] I never really thought I'd do much beyond taking over my father's inn in Rivers Bend... and since meeting Indigo, there is a whole life and world I want to see. Even if it means putting myself at risk against things like vampires...
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Very well. Body shield it is."
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Maybe I'm a little strange... my parents always thought so. *shrugs*
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Oh no. There are many like-minded fools willing to throw away their lives for adventure and glory."
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "It is not strange at all."
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *looks at Llath* Well, then I'm in good company...
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I do it for the girls."
Branwyn (Lisa) chuckles, "there is no one in our party who is not at the least a little strange. What say you Indigo?"
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *frowns and looks confused* Girls? Really? Yea that is strange.
[Indigo (Lisa)] I think he should come with us. He really whacked Sammy good with his staff and if he wants to come I think he should.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "There are far too many women in this world to be stuck safe in one place. And a good story works wonders at bringing them closer." ::winks::
[Indigo (Lisa)] He might want to become a real Dragonslayer too since he wanted to join the Guard but couldn't.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Mercenary company is much better than the Guard since we get to travel and not just pace around back and forth.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "We can worry about that later."
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "For now there are princesses to save and vampires to slay."
[Indigo (Lisa)] The Guard did get to fight giants though. That must have been good.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((so since these vampires are nobility and openly known to be vampires, is there any sort of legal stigma against staking them?))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] LLathandryll is right. Androp if you wish to come then be ready with the others in the morning. I must stay another night in the Manor.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (or a fireball blast?)
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *nods to Branwyn* I will be ready, Lady.
[Master] (grins, that story arc is called Everyone Knows precisely for that reason, everyone knows XXX and you know what happens when you assume
[Master] but the Drake family is well known if not well respected
[Master] they are rich
[Master] they were Queen's and Consorts before
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope you know what you're getting into! But you shall be welcomed and appreciated
[Master] they fought in the Civil Wars
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((but say they are vampires, do they have the same rights as other nobility if we kill them?))
[Master] oh no
[Master] if someone is a vampire they must be killed
[Master] that is why one of the Queens started the Brotherhood
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((okay, just making sure they dont have legal rights or anything in this weird area))
[Master] no no
[Master] of course if you kill a Noble
[Master] and it turns out they are not a vampire
[Master] well then
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we willjust have to schedule breakfast meetings and see who shows up)
[Master] Vampires are the enemy
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((yep yep. thats fine. Its easy enough to figure out if someone is a vampire or not))
[Master] Undead are evil
[Master] no sparkles,
[Master] sparkles are evil
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (even the nice ones?)
[Master] there are nice vampires ;P
[Master] you can go with the idea that any vampire you meet here is evil
[Master] here in teh Mist is the natural home for them
[Master] but I know what youa re thinking about Lisa
[Master] and that is not applicabal here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (someone is likely to get into trouble)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (someone who now thinks he is an expert)
[Master] grins
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((okay, that was my only concern. I didnt want to kill the vampires and then later get told that vampires are citizens too since this seems to be their home.))
[Master] no this is a place that the vampires would like to take over
[Master] if you look at the historical timeline
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Drillian-History
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((but they are still not openly saying hey, we are vampires))
[Master] year 248 is the first ever encounter with the Mist
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Drillian-History
[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] is only year 342
[Master] oh some people might say that
[Master] but then they would not hope to be accepted as Queen
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((Somewhere along the line I got the impression that the vampires had their own kingdoms and governments and such and were somehow involved with the humans))
[Master] there are vampires who run estates in the Swamps
[Master] hold sway over humans and humanoids
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((but stomping through and destroying them has no legal or moral issues to worry about))
[Master] nope
[Master] not from the human queen's point of view
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((so longs that is the case, no prob. to morning!))
[Master] chuckles
[Master] so Anrop, Indigo, Llath and Koorin go back to the shielf wall inn
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] Branwyn goes back to her rooms in the Lord's Manor
[Master] anythign else to accomplish before morning?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] sleep
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] I plan to accomplish that fabulously
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] nope... nothing that I can think of...
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (nope)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (poor brother stephanie - no one wants to fix him and now we have go)
[Captain Miltor (Master)] /knock knock
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (detined to be one angry he/she priest)
[Captain Miltor (Master)] enters Branwyn's room
[Captain Miltor (Master)] Hello
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good evening
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((under arrest!))
[Master] Time of Day: 08:38 PM. Day 15 Pen ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 15th, 342 SKR.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] did you have a good evening ?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Somewhat. There was both wonderful and terrible news that occurred at the same time.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I had dinner with your friend Indigo
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am sure he has told you all his favorite stories.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I wish he had told me more
[Captain Miltor (Master)] he said you are looking for someone here in the Citadel?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] may we sit?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Usually people are quite satisfied with one dose of Indigo's stories
[Master] Branwyn moved 18'10".
[Master] Captain Miltor moved 26'00".
[Captain Miltor (Master)] he is an interesting person
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh he did, did he?
Administrator-98343 has joined the game on Fri Aug 03 22:06:34 EDT 2012
Administrator-98343 is receiving the map Shield Wall inn First Floor...
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He mentioned that you thought him a spy.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I wanted to ask you if you could help clarify what he said
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I do think he would be an excellent spy
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is quite ridiculous.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] everyone seems to trust him
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs, "indigo would make the worst spy ever!"
[Captain Miltor (Master)] he is friendly and able to handle himself
Administrator-98343 has received the map Shield Wall inn First Floor.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] (hello administrator)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He is very friendly and trustworthy.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hello Admin)
[Captain Miltor (Master)] If I may ask please who is it that you are looking for?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] and if I could ask a favor as well
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But he trusts others too easily and can be vulnerable.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] At this point there is no reason to be secretive. I will be discussing the matter with the Count in the morning.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The daughter of Lord Mosskin has been abducted and I must find her.
Administrator-98343 has left the game on Fri Aug 03 22:09:41 EDT 2012
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have just found out where she is and will be leaving tomorrow as will my friends.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] that is too bad
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I was goig to ask for Indigo's assistance with a group of hill giants
[Captain Miltor (Master)] we had a problem with them last month
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is tragic. But we will retrieve her.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] with him we coudl rout them for good
[Captain Miltor (Master)] and I am sorry about this Mosskin girl
[Captain Miltor (Master)] you believe she is here in teh Citadel? or used to believe that?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh! That is terrible. He will be most disappointed. He was just talking about giants tonight.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Under any other circumstances I would let Indigo make a choice of where he would rather be. But this matter is too urgent. I do need him.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I did not know for sure. There was talk. But I know that she is not here.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And I am very glad as I have become fond of the Count and his family in my short time here.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I shall look forward to meeting everyone again in Chandler Cowles.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] it is too bad that Lord Mosskin has lost a daughter
[Captain Miltor (Master)] stands up to leave
[Captain Miltor (Master)] his other daughter is very nice
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I hope you find the one you are looking for
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What other daughter?
[Master] Captain Miltor moved 27'09".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You know Lord Mosskin's daughter?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] apparently I only know one of them
[Captain Miltor (Master)] but I have not actually met her
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I only know of her
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Which one do you know?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] Wilimina Mosskin?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] she is of the Queen's Court
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The 8 year old mage?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] no
[Captain Miltor (Master)] she is a mage?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] no one told me she was 8
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And where is this Willamina Mosskin?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Bob you are evil)
[Captain Miltor (Master)] (it is sad that guy is not here to impart these thigns that Sarengar found out in his travels)
[Captain Miltor (Master)] Oh Wilamina Mosskin has been in the Temple for the past week or two
[Captain Miltor (Master)] she has been spending a great deal of time in the library that I am a ware of
[Captain Miltor (Master)] aware
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think there has been a terrible mistake. If someone is impersonating Lord Mosskin's daughter I must see her right away. Will you take me to her?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] not tonight,
[Captain Miltor (Master)] but I will in the morning if you wish
[Branwyn (Lisa)] At first light?
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I will do my best
[Captain Miltor (Master)] we do have a raid on the giants to prepare for
[Captain Miltor (Master)] but I will be certain to speak with you before hand
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you. I don't suppose we could stop and get Indigo on the way perhaps?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I appreciate that
[Captain Miltor (Master)] to the giants? of course!
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I would love to have his help
[Captain Miltor (Master)] thank you
[Captain Miltor (Master)] I will see you in the morning
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No, for the library.
[Captain Miltor (Master)] oh
[Captain Miltor (Master)] well I suppose
[Captain Miltor (Master)] do you know where he is staying?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And if we shall find this impersonator in time. Then you shall have Indigo for the giants.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He is at the Shield Wall Inn
[Captain Miltor (Master)] that is most excellent
[Captain Miltor (Master)] and I will send a runner
[Captain Miltor (Master)] good night
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Goodnight and thank you Captain.
[Master] Captain Miltor moved 17'04".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Unbelievable)
[Master] grins
[Master] what?
[Master] that Sarengar knew? or that Hoffman and Qui have been at the library for the past two days
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I suppose I should thank you for not letting us run away to get killed by vampires)
[Master] Oh don't thank me yet
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (especially since Bill and I won't be in next week)
[Master] this does present a problem
[Master] Marco
[Master] next week
[Master] if it is only you
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] yes?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you can break into a temple and slaughter all the priests until you find Mina)
[Master] LOL
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] sweet!
[Master] I was going to say I will talk with TMO
[Master] I think he will be in
[Master] and I will talk with John
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and John!!)
[Master] it would be godo to have him in too
[Branwyn (Lisa)] good even
[Master] sure that too
[Master] just want Marco to be aware it might be difficult to get things done next week with out anyone
[Master] so it might be a short week
[Master] Bill you will be in the week after?
[Lisa] night you mean?
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] should be
[Master] 17th?
[Lisa] I think a week is 7 days no matter what
[Master] and Lisa you will
[Master] I mean it might be a short session next week
[Lisa] yes I will
[Master] depending on TMO and John
[Master] the 17th I want to have as many in as possible
[Master] to line up for th24th
[Lisa] did you do that on purpose cuz you knew I would jump to that conclusion or were you just gleefully surprised?
[Master] grins
[Master] do what?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] dont underestimate my ability to cause massive chaos and destruction when there is no one else around
[Lisa] make them lie about Mina
[Master] no one lied about Mina
[Lisa] I have no doubt
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] hes just a grumpy old man
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] he probably doesnt even know what he is talking about
[Lisa] said she was 8 and mage
[Master] there is a Wilimena Mosskin who is a mage who is a prodigy and will be a problem for you in the future
[Master] and there is also your own Wilimena Mosskin who you never call that you always call her Missus Mosskin
[Lisa] we get to kill children at a later date?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] wouldnt be the first time
[Master] and she has been at Court and knows Toybin and everyone
[Lisa] I hate that there are so many Mosskins
[Master] LOL
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] we could start thinning the herd
[Lisa] I'm for that at this point
[Master] the mothe rdied in teh Grey Death
[Master] the son died before you came along
[Master] the other son died out fighting monsters
[Lisa] who's teaching her?
[Master] teaching her what?
[Lisa] mage type stuff
[Master] LOL
[Master] two different Mina's
[Master] one is a mage
[Master] one is not
[Lisa] I know that now
[Master] the one you know form home is not a mage
[Lisa] Yes I know that
[Master] the other has a Court Mage over at the Earl's estates
[Lisa] I asked who is teaching the kid her magic?
[Master] the big Mosskin estates
[Master] totallay different Estate
[Master] you are at Jistille Estates
[Master] she is at the Mosskin Estates
[Lisa] I KNOW
[Lisa] this is like that crazy dinner
[Master] you do not know the Court Mage over there yet
[Master] if that is the answer you want
[Lisa] forget it
[Lisa] when we meet her I will ask her myself
[Master] nods
[Lisa] then kill her
[Master] LOL
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] Told you we should have started a fire earlier
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Heh... next few sessions are sounding like they'll be filled with violence
[Lisa] it's about time
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Drillian-PoliticalAmpSociety
[Lisa] and what a lovely place for it - the temple :)
[Master] Lisa is quite the bloodthirsty mage
[Lisa] If John comes back he won't want to kill any
[Master] it is his temple to worship at afterall
[Master] but at least you have hill giants to look forward to
[Lisa] only if we get her back
[Master] Branwynis ready to join Llath in burning down the place
[Lisa] not sure how good indigo's going to be with a giant
[Lisa] She liked everybody. This is sad
[Master] I am sure that she will not have to hurt anyone she likes
[Lisa] But now we need to get the girl and ruin the Vilmar name
[Lisa] I don't like them anymore
[Master] why not?
[Lisa] they kidnapped my boss' daughter
[Master] ummm
[Master] how do you know that?
[Master] and they were talking about three other girls being the Queen's picks
[Master] your's is a fourth unknown
[Lisa] have to re-read chat log
[Lisa] capt said mina was at temple did he not?
[Master] as of now you are hopeful that you know where she is
[Master] and you know that the Count did not consider her one of the three possible picks
[Lisa] no - he said mage child was not a pick
[Lisa] he did not say my mina was not a pick
[Master] he said mage child was a pick in name only, to make the mosskins feel good
[Master] that it was not a serious optoin
[Lisa] he did not mention a 4th
[Master] coorect
[Lisa] he misdirected
[Lisa] he knows what mosskin house I am from
[Master] there is no 4th pick officially
[Master] yes
[Lisa] and he picked the other one when I was talking about mine
[Lisa] he knew that and misdirected the lying bastard
[Master] you asked about the Queen's picks
[Lisa] he asked about the queen's picks
[Master] he asked your thoughts baout he queen's picks
[Master] but in any case
[Master] all is well that ends well
[Master] we will pick up in the morning
[Lisa] that's what I said
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] NO MORE WELLS!!
[Master] chuckles
[Lisa] no chance of that
[Master] we will see waht Ilero does

[Lisa] thought he was recovering
[Master] yes he was

[Master] chuckles
