[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] Hello
[Master] [Ilero]] XP award: 250. Next level in 5278.
[Lisa] Did Ilero do something spectacular while I was getting coffee?
[Master] yes
[Lisa] Hello :)
[Master] grins
[Lisa] Too bad I missed it
[Master] and why coffee and not wine?
[Lisa] no alcohol in house and my body clock has seriously whacked out
[Master] sorry for both of those facts
[Lisa] could not sleep last night so I thought couple shots of Nyquil might do the trick
[Master] oh no
[Master] and so you slept till noon
[Lisa] slept through my alarm barely made it to dept on time
[Lisa] no - but work was messed up and was home around 11 am
[Master] that stinks
[Lisa] checked email and then fell asleep for 3 hours
[Master] in a warm sunbeam?
[Lisa] then ate lunch got back on cimputer and then was thnking sleep would be good again
[Master] we shall try to keep you awake for a few hours at least
[Lisa] so coffee while it is 90 degrees
[Lisa] that would be good - not sure what is going on

[Eric] hello everyone
[Mike] hi eric
[Eric] ya me too LIsa
[Eric] Just read up
[Master] Hey there Eric
[Eric] I would have loved to have Leatherus add in that conversation last week
[Master] what would you want to add?
[Eric] Bob, been buried at work but I'll post my training stuff etc
[Master] that will be good
[Master] I just don'
[Master] I just don't want everyone to be trying ot figure everything out all at once one night
[Eric] Well I would probably tried to make her join us or have us join her
[Master] as long as people are thinking
[Master] smile
[Eric] ya
[Master] did you pick up on any hints with her?
[Eric] during the reading?
[Master] nods
[Eric] ya
[Lisa] maybe she will show up again somewhere
[Eric] definitely confused about the evil intent now..
[Lisa] she was the same religion as that priest in Ponce that Tristan got into it with
[Master] did you think she sounded like any other priests you talk to?
[Master] there you go
[Mike] i liked her, but imari couldn't trust her
[Eric] yep
[Master] so tonight I am guessing Enemy of my Enemy?
[Eric] i'm game for either one
[Lisa] she is roaming around so she can pop up again some time
[Master] Lisa which would you like?
[Eric] ya make her decide
[Lisa] let's go back to Tristan's
[Eric] ok sounds good
[Master] chuckles
[Lisa] we did Indigo last week
[Lisa] I wasn''t last time we did Tristan's so I'm not sure where we are on that
[Master] Valedianna moved 55'00".
[Master] Aunt Jennevive moved 10'03".
[Master] Branwyn moved 5'07".
[Master] [Marisu]] moved 14'00".
[Mike] i don't mind. i've always liked val's character
[Master] [Ilero]] moved 6'10".
[Master] Tristan Elaire moved 4'01".
[Eric] I am back at the keyboard.
[Mike] she's my only character with any real growth come to think of it. everyone else i've played has had a path and stuck to it. she kind of started in limbo and developed a path based on events in the campaign
[Master] Once TMO is in we will see which horses got stolen
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] So we have the note from the person in red talking about Indigo
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] not cool
[Master] [Ilero]] moved 78'04".
[Master] Tristan Elaire moved 102'07".
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] which means he/she knew we woudl come here
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Who is this person in red you are talking about?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and who wrote Ilero's name in blood after we got here?)
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (oh ya forgot about that)
[Mike] the writing's on the wall...
Tristan Elaire (Eric) looks to Jennevive "It is someone who been harrassing us"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] A necromancer for hire and a powerful one at that [Branwyn (Lisa)] He has been plaguing us for years.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] What did you hire him for?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I didn't hire him!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Other people do and then somehow he ends up in the middle of whatever task we are trying to accomplish
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] so which task is he interferring with now?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Sir Indigo?
[Mike] and just a heads up everybody, i may have been imbibing more than is neccessary after the first week of school
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] It appears that way...
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The note suggests that, but I'm not sure he could be trying to hurt Indigo's quest and be here writing notes....
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] How did we know to come here Tristan?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (celebrating back to school is a good thing :) )
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] We were sent to clear this place. We were going to end up here eventually
Aunt Jennevive (Master) raises an eyebrow
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] This person obviously knew of my task
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Do you really have that little belief in free will?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] that you would end up here eventually no matter what?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Laughs. I was sent to clear this church Jennevive. Of course I would end up here.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I am merely considering
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] that if someone wanted you here
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] perhaps that person sent you here
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Are you claiming that the good Father is somehow involved with this person in red??
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] That is a dangerous accuasation
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] But....
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I am asking how you arrived here
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] if you knew you were coming here
Tristan Elaire (Eric) shakes his head
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] it seems that you have a circle in your logic
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you were coming here, because you were always coming here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But Tristan's bishop not only sent Tristan he asked you to come. How did you get asked to come here? Now that I think about it.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] at some point you were pointed in this direction
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I was told to come here yes....
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I was asked to accompany Tristan in case he failed to give people space to make choices
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] To clear out the unholy
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I let them choose...
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I did not know why Tristan was assigned
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I just..
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Why I was sent? It is what my order trains for
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] You however have always been a mystery...
Aunt Jennevive (Master) looks around at Branwyn and Ilero and Tristan
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] it seems that several of the more powerful people in the area are here
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Tristan Elaire moved 11'11".
Tristan Elaire (Eric) whispers to Branywn "This place was rather easy to overcome. Hardly worth sending us out here to deal with.... I don't know what is going on but something isn't feeling right"
[Valedianna (Mike)] brb
Tristan Elaire (Eric) whipsers "How did this person in red know we'd be here. Did we talk to anyone else that I don't remember? Could it be possilble that the Father is someohow corrupted?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hmmm ... I don't know that this was exactly an easy mission.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (I think that Ilero would have a comment on that ;) )
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Well perhaps not "easy" but...
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (lol and yes he would)
Branwyn (Lisa) whispers back, "I don't know your Father that well, if he follows your faith could he be corrupt?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We all left so quickly. There wasn't time to talk to much of anyone.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I don't know.... He's been acting wierd lately. I suppose he could be under some kind of compulsion
Tristan Elaire (Eric) nods
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If he wanted to sabotage us, he would be betraying his faith and the Mosskins whose estates hold his churches.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Or maybe this quest is just getting to me
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If he was trying to sabotage Indigo's quest he is a traitor to the Queen.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I know...
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Perhaps it is not Father directly
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Or he could just want us to kill some Greeks.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Does anyone know how he came by his information to send us here?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] what to do you mean?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] No. It was not my place to question my orders
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] We have no fate but the fate we are given
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I would agree with you there
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] a phrase from a far off land that seems very appropriate for you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You didn't ask any questions either it seems.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] How close are you to this Father?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I have only known him for as long as I've been here
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I was told that if I was able to help Tristan to accomplish his mission that I would be rewarded
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] and for most of that time I have been with you all
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I had hoped to use this opportunity to share this location with Tristan
Tristan Elaire (Eric) raises his eyebrow
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Share it
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] with me
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Are you serious?
Branwyn (Lisa) stifles a laugh
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] What would make you think that I would ever consider that
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] You will not be able to use all this space
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I would not have your kind putrify the holy ground that I intend this place to be
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you are smart enough to understand that you need allies
Tristan Elaire (Eric) nods
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] And you woudl be that ally?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] and you also do not have followers enough to sustain
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] allies are found in unusual circumstances
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Branwyn has been a good companion
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you do understand your skills
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] even if not how your path might look
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I may not have the followers yet. But when this place is transferred to my church then Cahus will reward me with priests of his calling.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] raises an eyebrow
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] and your fellow priests of Cahus are so well suited to assisting the farmers you will need to fill them?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (feed)
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] There are priests of Belinos or Aclim that could asssit in that
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] warm smile and a nod
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Or perhaps Uthe herself
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] see now you are open to choices
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] the idea that there are others out there just as valuable
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Yes. Those that I can trust.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Branwyn, did Tristan tell you the story of why he came here to Drillian?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not exactly. Tristan came at the same time as three others and I was a bit overwhelmed at the time.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] There was that church that I built.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] An admirable deed
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] What are you getting at Jennevive
[Valedianna (Mike)] sorry guys. family obligations
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (later mike...)
[Valedianna (Mike)] not able to pay as much attention as i'd hoped
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (bye mike)
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (come back when you get the chance)
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I am merely asking Branwyn if she knows your story
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] perhaps you could tell her
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Very well...
[Valedianna (Mike)] sure. i'll be happy to rp when auntie is gone
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] that might help fill in some gaps about your choices you have made
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (your auntie? or Jenn)
[Valedianna (Mike)] mine
[Valedianna (Mike)] lol
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] grins
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I was sent here to help recover the lands from those who have taken what was rightfully the Churches
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] It was my task to help convert the unfaithful
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] That should come as no suprise to those that have travelled with me
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No, but what lands supposedly belong to the church that are now in others' hands?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I wear my faith on the outside for all to see
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] The ones that were taken from them during the last crusade
[Branwyn (Lisa)] In Jistelle?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] In Jistelle?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh seem to be having issues)
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] No in the lands surrounding
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's better)
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Jistelle already has a church of the Kayugan faith.
Branwyn (Lisa) feels relief "Well that is all right then. But why have you not spoken of this before?"
Tristan Elaire (Eric) shrugs
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Thank you Branwyn
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I do not wish to burden others of my duties
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] for having a Church that prevented Tristan from launching a Crusade into Jistille
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] It has not come up because I have yet to pursue my true mission
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Until I came here...
Tristan Elaire (Eric) laughs
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's not exactly why I built the church. But if it also prevented religious wars at home I am pleased.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Do not try and turn my friends against me
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] You will not succeeed
Aunt Jennevive (Master) LAUGHS
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I could not turn Branwyn against anyone
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But I don't see how you can have multiple religions sharing one church - no matter how many allies seem to be needed.
TMO has joined the game on Fri Aug 22 20:03:35 EDT 2014
TMO is receiving the map Church Ground Floor...
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] and I think you are so caught up in your focus that you miss the trees around you Tristan
TMO has received the map Church Ground Floor.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hi tmo)
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] it is actually very often the case that multiple Gods and Goddesses share a large churgh
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] church
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] of the same religion
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Yes they do.. If they pursue the same agendas
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] in the central church for the Kayugan faith in Dryads Lair
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] all of our brothers and sisters are welcome
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] That is true
[TMO] (hi)
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] as it is understood that everything is balanced only if both sides of the scale are present
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Hi TMO
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I am certain that Ilero here would have something to say if Tristan chose to simply ignore the fact of his faith
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well no one is going to want to come here as long as that thing is sitting in the middle of the altar area
Branwyn (Lisa) points at force field
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] and destroyed that shrine down below
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] smiles at Branwyn
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] gestures at her,
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I have already told him I would speak to Father. If the decision is left as mine, then I will leave the crypts undisturbed. I will seal them off however
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] See Tristan not everyone enjoys these philosophical discussions
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] yet they can still be friends
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] if I may be so bold to claim Branwyn as a friend
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "why not? You are difficult not to like Jennevieve"
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] smiles and nods
Ilero (TMO)] (trying to get my mind into rp gear. be with you asap)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And I was just trying to be practical. Please go on with the philosophy.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (FYI i'll need to step away for a few in a bit. Gotta put the boys to bed. I'll be back after)
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I am interested in seeing why this force field is here also
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] but I am afraid it is a ruse
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Tristan which way would you have come into this church without other's prompting you?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It's a pretty powerful one.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I wish we could see into it.
Marisu (TMO)] If they were trying to summon and control an elemental down below, could this be one they'd already trapped?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's an interesting thought.
Marisu (TMO)] For that matter, why would the Hades priesthood try to summon and control a fire elemental in the first place?
Marisu (TMO)] They're not a fire worshipping cult as far as I know.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Fire Elementals are not subtle things
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Hmm
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I would have used the ruse to scout first
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] So I guess the front door
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] so perhaps Tristan you were meant to come through here and spend your strength on this
Marisu (TMO)] I'm just thinking out loud, sorry. Maybe this field wasn't put here by them, and they wanted the elemental to take it down?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] before finding the Greeks in their strength while you are weak
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I am tempted to believe that the Elemental was summoned for a distructive force
Branwyn (Lisa) murmurs "Or maybe they just hated looking at that gruesome statue as much as I did"
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] What was the statue like?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It was a huge demon like thing with horns
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (i think it was like that)
Marisu (TMO)] Wasn't this a Kipytutto church first? That doesn't sound like a statue of her, I don't think.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Perhaps it is keeping something in rather that out
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Branwyn? Ilero? you are the experts on her faith
[Ilero]] (TMO) mutely shakes his head.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (will look it up but that is how branwyn remembers it at the moment)
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (that is a good memory Lisa)
[Marisu]] (TMO) looks around. "Where did her followers go? We could ask them, couldn't we?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't know anything about who they worship
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Just what they like their followers to look like
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (they are over in one of the side shrines)
Marisu (TMO)] I'll go ask, see if they can shed any light on the subject.
[Marisu]] (TMO) hops up from her seat on the stairs and goes that way.
Marisu (TMO)] [Marisu]] moved 31'04".
Marisu (TMO)] [Marisu]] moved 30'03".
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] brb i need to go get my son from the neighbor kid's house
[Master] (you got rid of him and now you want him back?)
Marisu (TMO)] (I was late because I was dropping mine off. ;) )
[Marisu]] (TMO) stands back and watches a moment to make sure she's not interrupting anything before speaking.
[Master] they seem to just be sitting there quietly
Marisu (TMO)] Excuse me, Polinia, Yellin? Do you mind if we ask you a few questions about Kipytutto and this church? We're trying to determine our next course of action, and we thought knowing more about it might help us out.
[Yellin (Master)] I am not blessed by the Lady
[Yellin (Master)] but I will share my knowledge of her ways
[Yellin (Master)] if that will assist you
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (ok i need to read stories and put the youngest down. Give me a bit. I'll be back. I drank a Red Bull so I wouldn't fall asleep this time
[Yellin (Master)] (chuckles)
[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles. "Thank you, Yellin. We're trying to decipher the force field over there. Lady Branwyn remembers it being a large demon-like being with horns. Is that one of Kipytutto's representations, or was it something someone else put up?"
[Yellin (Master)] The Lady would never be represented by anything other than a human
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (multi armed ogre with three horns)
[Yellin (Master)] non humans are not part of this world
[Yellin (Master)] they are here to decieve us
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (25 feet tall on 10 foot base)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (from Dec 2010! yikes! I have been playing a long time now)
[Yellin (Master)] (grins you are one of the old timers, TMO and Eric are young little newbies)
[Valedianna (Mike)] yeah. i still don't know who these noobs are. =P
[Yellin (Master)] lol
[Valedianna (Mike)] the really weird thing is now i'm the longest playing player
[Valedianna (Mike)] i always felt like the young kid
[Master] chuckles
[Marisu]] (TMO) ponders. "So it's not something her priesthood would have erected then?"
[Yellin (Master)] no not by any Priesthood
[Yellin (Master)] I have heard that Branwyn the Blessed freed this church
[Yellin (Master)] and returned it to her faith
[Yellin (Master)] Her lady's faith
[Yellin (Master)] I have not seen anything to dispute that Branwyn is one of the Lady's chosen ones
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes Branwyn known throughtout the lands as a religious do gooder)
[Valedianna (Mike)] is branwyn religious?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not in the slightest)
[Valedianna (Mike)] lol. didn't think so
[Yellin (Master)] (except she had the lady's blessing and returned this church to her followers, grins)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and built the church in Jistelle)
[Yellin (Master)] (please let this burden pass from me ;P )
Marisu (TMO)] Branwyn, how detailed was the statue? Could it have been an actual demon turned to stone, and someone put this dome over it to prevent it from escaping?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no kidding)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That I don't know. We saw it and I approched. There was blook on the altar and the floor along with this dagger.
[Valedianna (Mike)] which is a better solution than killing it
Branwyn (Lisa) pulls out cold iron dagger
[Valedianna (Mike)] or should i say "killing" it
[Valedianna (Mike)] ooooOOOoooh
[Branwyn (Lisa)] When I picked it up Red Cloak started casting from the balcony
[Valedianna (Mike)] i love me some cold iron
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you? I thought it killed demons.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So between the tentacles Red Cloack shot down on us, the sleep spell on Indigo and the contagion spell on me, we stopped investigating the statue
[Valedianna (Mike)] yup. my archer character made a bunch of cold iron arrows when we went to hell.
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs wearily "It was not a good day"
Marisu (TMO)] It sounds like it. I'm glad you were victorious.
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Val, "but, aren't you half demon?"
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Valedianna (Mike)] that's not in character
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry)
[Valedianna (Mike)] when i'm in character i use quotations and capitals.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that is true - I got carried away)
[Valedianna (Mike)] don't know why, but that's the way i always distinguished when we went online
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So I am sorry Marisu. That statue might have been anything.
[Valedianna (Mike)] if there was a cold iron dagger near it, i'm liking the petrified demon theory
Marisu (TMO)] No, that's okay. We don't even know if it's the same thing in there now or not. It's a puzzle, and I'm just having fun speculating.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The dagger was very powerful. It left that burn mark on the altar that is still there.
[Valedianna (Mike)] has anyone tested it for magic?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We thought the dagger might have caused what happened to my face so Hoffman broke it. But when we realized it was red cloak. I had to repaired.
[Valedianna (Mike)] just iron shouldn't leave a mark unless the altar is a demon. and that would just be a weird and rather useless demon
[Valedianna (Mike)] well then any magic it might have had is gone. too bad.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (demon - form of? a table)
[Marisu]] (TMO) chuckles. "Beware the vcious altar demon. It will sit therre ominously at you."
[Valedianna (Mike)] and stare
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe you are right and that horned ogre thing came to like and the Greeks or someone tried to contain it.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (life)
[Valedianna (Mike)] don't underestimate a thing you know was alive just staring at you unblinking, day in and day out.
[Valedianna (Mike)] it'll drive a man insane and a woman even more insane.
Marisu (TMO)] Sounds like some of the elders back home.
Marisu (TMO)] Maybe if we really wanted in, we could take apart part of the altar in one spot and try to go under the edge of the field?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hmmm then would we be stuck inside there with it?
[Marisu]] (TMO) shrugs. "I'm sorry, I don't know that much about magic. It's possible that the field goes underneath too, and we'd just run into the bottom of it if we tried that."
Marisu (TMO)] Yellin, had you heard any tales talking about a demon or demon-statue here before?
[Yellin (Master)] no
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (did you guys finish searching the office last time?)
[Yellin (Master)] This church was disused for several years
[Yellin (Master)] the area of the Craniate Wastes was so poor that there was no one to support this church
[Yellin (Master)] in a softer voice
[Yellin (Master)] I am not certain that anyone can maintain this church anymore
Marisu (TMO)] Well, I guess we need to decide how important it is that we get in there. Should we just leave it for the people who come after us to decipher?
[Yellin (Master)] I know that my faith has been renewed through Branwyn the Blessed
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I thought Tristan said that when we got back he would bring more priests to clear out the ghouls and so forth. Maybe they can remove it.
[Yellin (Master)] She has discovered the hidden tomb of a demi-god
[Yellin (Master)] she has been touched
[Yellin (Master)] there can be no denying that
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That was Tristan. But yes there is no denying that I have been touched all right.
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
Ilero (TMO)] Cult of Branwyn?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is but a mere servant.
Ilero (TMO)] Saint Branwyn t'e Touched.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That just sounds awful.
[Yellin (Master)] warm smile
[Yellin (Master)] I beleive that Branwyn the Blessed could reach out from beyond the grave to assist those in need and become a Saint
Ilero (TMO)] You bless me, Saint Branwyn, please?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You need to find your priests to renew your faith
[Yellin (Master)] The Lady chooses her blessings
[Yellin (Master)] (brb Nyrma just got home)
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Ilero "I'm not sure you want to feel the pain of my blessing upon you"
[Ilero]] (TMO) grins briefly and winks at Branwyn.
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles back
[Ilero]] (TMO) leans back against the stairs and resumes quiet contemplation.
[Valedianna (Mike)] yaaaay! they're gone
[Valedianna (Mike)] now i can take off my pants!
[Valedianna (Mike)] i don't usually wear pants for more than eight hours at a clip
[Branwyn (Lisa)] TMI
[Master] chuckles
[Valedianna (Mike)] it is my firm belief that pants are the invention of the devil. we used to all wear lovely robes and kilts and such, then we decided to start wearing these uncomfortable, restricting things.
[Valedianna (Mike)] if i could get away with it, i'd wear kilts every day, not just ren faire days
[Master] you should at school the kids would love it
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Animal-Horse.Customizing
[Master] in case you did not see this Mike and Eric (when he gets back)
[Master] TMO did a great job with that
[Valedianna (Mike)] horse customizing? is that like pimp my horse?
[Master] next up is dogs
[Master] go check out that link
Marisu (TMO)] (work was slow this morning)
[Master] you will be amazed
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it is very nice)
[Valedianna (Mike)] cool
[Valedianna (Mike)] that's some good stuff
[Master] If you can think of anything else to go there,
[Master] there is a similar article on dogs, war dogs, hunting dogs, etc
[Master] brb dogs are a bit needy
[Valedianna (Mike)] zebras
[Ilero]] (TMO) twirls a knife absently in his fingers as he stares at the floor.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] back sorry Lola was whining and clawing at me
[Master] turns out she needed to throw up
[Master] I know TMO
[Master] TMI'
Marisu (TMO)] (had a dog and cats before. familiar with the problem)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the dog vomitting and no pants things are why I am against webcams for this game)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
Marisu (TMO)] (besides, I don't look a thing like either of my characters)
[Master] LOLLOL
[Master] I promise to wear pants on camera
Marisu (TMO)] (shirts are optional then?)
[Master] smile
[Valedianna (Mike)] i don' tlook like my characters, either
[Master] I can verify that Mike does not have wings
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (does anyone?)
[Master] are you saying you are not covered with warts scabs and scars Lisa?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (branwyn is not either at the moment)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we share eye color)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we share eye color)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (test)
[Master] so the choice is to do what with the force field?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lost connection for a sec)
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] wow
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] didn't wnat to go down
Marisu (TMO)] If we can't dispel it, attacking it is about our only option I can see, and even if we do, are we sure we want to see what's in there?
[Master] smile
[Valedianna (Mike)] maybe it could be a feature?
[Master] caught up Eric?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] yep
[Master] sao verdicts
[Master] so
Marisu (TMO)] It doesn't sound to me like something we really need to see, if you want my opinion. At best, it's a big ugly statue. At worst it's a demon who'll try to kill us.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] If it is a demon then I need to remove it... And i could use all your help
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] But do we know how to remove the force field?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I'm out of ideas...
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Anyone try hitting it with a magical item?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think so.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] anyone have one?
[Valedianna (Mike)] nope
[Marisu]] (TMO) shakes her head. "I don't, sorry."
Branwyn (Lisa) puts the cold iron dagger away and takes another dagger off her belt
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope it doesn't eat this. I kind of like this one.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Everyone want to stand back a bit - just in case?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Tristan Elaire moved 24'01".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 39'05".
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Tristan Elaire moved 43'04".
Tristan Elaire (Eric) ducks behind altar
[Valedianna (Mike)] Valedianna moved 30'03".
Branwyn (Lisa) throws magic dagger at force field
[Master] BOINK
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] awesome
[Master] bounces off the field and skitters along the floor
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I can try to dispel again?
[Ilero]] (TMO) looks up from the floor. "Eh?"
[Master] next level
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] oh
Branwyn (Lisa) retrieves her dagger
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (you only get 1 shot per level?)
[Master] nods
Marisu (TMO)] I can't say I'm disappointed, though. I'm not looking forward to maybe facing a demon.
[Master] and yes to TMO I think it was a bit funny, everyone is hiding and ducking if the thing comes down
[Master] and it devours Branwyn as the only person standing there
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can Jennevieve try to dispel it?
[Master] not today
[Master] she said that earlier,
[Master] has to wait until tomorrow to attempt it
Marisu (TMO)] (that gives us time to recharge anyways)
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Agreed
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Lets make came here tonight
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Tomorrow we'll make for home
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Should we go upstairs to sleep?
Marisu (TMO)] I'd like to go check on Zephyr, make sure he's got enough food. Can someone come with me?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Sure I'll join you Marisu
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (branwyn does stupid stuff like that though)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lost connection again - I typed that endless ago)
[Master] not stupid, just not a typical mage, more fighter like
Marisu (TMO)] Thank you, Sir Tristan.
Tristan Elaire (Eric) laughs "Just Tristan is fine"
[Master] [Marisu]] moved 87'08".
[Master] Tristan Elaire moved 121'07".
[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles. "Force of habit. Leaving the titles off might offend someone unnecessarily."
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Patron Tristan if you insist. But we are friends so it is not needed
[Master] so there were originally 6 horses that you stabled there in the farmhouse,
[Master] Hoffman told you that two of them were stolen
Marisu (TMO)] (whose?)
[Master] random
[Master] would you like to roll the d6?
Marisu (TMO)] (1d6) [1d6=5] 5
[Master] Branwyn, Tristan, Hoffman, Ilero, Marisu, Jennive
[Master] so Marisu
Marisu (TMO)] Naturally
[Master] and then next
Marisu (TMO)] *sigh*
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] lol
Marisu (TMO)] (1d6) [1d6=3] 3
[Master] and Hoffman's
Marisu (TMO)] Zephyr? Oh no!! Where is he?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I'm sorry Marisu... It looks like they took your horse... I shall see if the church can provide you with a new one when we return. You can ride mine on our return
[Marisu]] (TMO) runs out the door and whistles. "ZEPHYR! Come here!"
[Master] [Marisu]] moved 8'07".
[Master] you are down by the farm house there
Marisu (TMO)] (Trick Responds to Call- will come when called if within hearing distance)
[Marisu]] (TMO) looks anxiously around for her horse.
[Master] (I will give the hint that you should say that outloud)
[Master] (Marisu shoudl say that out loud, what she has trained Zephyr to do)
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] test
Marisu (TMO)] He's supposed to come when called. ZEPHYR!
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] oh thought i dropped
Tristan Elaire (Eric) looks around for any movement
[Master] I will let Tristan make an intuitoin check on that
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Tristan Elaire: INU check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 20!!
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] lol
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] wow
Marisu (TMO)] (intuitive dude)
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] yeppers
[Master] there is a priest spell that allows you to speak to someone over miles of distance
Marisu (TMO)] ZEPHYR!! Come here, boy!
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] not that i can cast
Marisu (TMO)] Ohhh, where is he? This stinks. What was he thinking, taking our horses, after what we did for him?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I should have know better
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I try and show mercy....
[Valedianna (Mike)] sorry guys, it's been a long week. i'm already fading
[Valedianna (Mike)] good luck finding your horse.
[Valedianna (Mike)] night all
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (no worries Mike. Good night)
Marisu (TMO)] (hehe. night)
Mike has left the game on Fri Aug 22 21:41:25 EDT 2014
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Well perhaps he will return?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I don't know what to say Marisu...
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Lets get to the others... It is starting to get dark
[Marisu]] (TMO) stamps her foot. "This isn't right!"
Marisu (TMO)] Do you think we can follow him?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] We can see if we can find any tracks in the morning
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] It wouldn't be wise to try at night. That priest has more powerful spells at night
Marisu (TMO)] But.. he could be a long way away by then.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] A horse is not risking your safety
[Master] (I am sorry it was a mage spell not a priest spell)
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (no worries)
[Master] range is 1 mile per level
[Master] oh well
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] wow nice spell
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I'm going to go and check for any clues... Maybe I can figure something out
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Tristan Elaire: Investigation check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL FAILED against 8!!
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Tristan Elaire: Oratory check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] oops maybe not
Marisu (TMO)] I'll go get Ilero, maybe he can do something. He's a scout, right?
[Marisu]] (TMO) runs off.
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to Master only)] you should turn the sounds back on. doesn't make any difference to lose them
Tristan Elaire (Eric) sighs
Marisu (TMO)] (heeheehee)
[Master (to Lisa only)] ok, turned on
TMO is receiving the map Church Ground Floor...
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you could have just wrapped her in your arms to comfort her and made her forget all about chasing horses)
TMO has received the map Church Ground Floor.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] lol yaaaa
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] he's still working on that warm fuzzy stuff
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] uuuuhhh there there?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
Tristan Elaire (Eric) follows back to the church
[Marisu]] (TMO) bursts in through the front doors. "Sir Ilero! Sir Ilero! I need you to follow Zephyr! Someone stole him!"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (leatherus can show him how it's done when he gets back)
[Master] lol
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] ya he's all warm and fuzzy
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (and apparently quite kinky)
Marisu (TMO)] (and here I thought Shur had the monopoly on that)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh no! Not Zephyr. I'm so sorry Marisu. It figure that the only person that can actually handle a horse gets her stolen.
Ilero (TMO)] Eh? Who Zephyr?
Marisu (TMO)] My horse! He's been taken from the barn! He's trained to come when I call him, but he must be too far away to hear me! If I knew which way he went I could try to follow and bring him back!
[Ilero]] (TMO) glances at Branwyn and raises an eyebrow skeptically.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh Marisu, if it was the priest who took the horses, I'm not sure we could catch him. He's gotten hours of a head start.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I have to agree Marisu
Marisu (TMO)] But.. if he could just hear me, he'd come back on his own.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] The odds of us catching them at this point is highly unlikely
Marisu (TMO)] He was a gift from my father...
Marisu (TMO)] (ah, 16 year old girls and their horses...)
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] There there
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] it will be ok
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Ilero, could you look and see if you could track them? I know it's more of Shur's expertise, but maybe you could check?
[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs and stands up. "Hye try. Mebbe find something say which way. Mebbe not. Hard say."
[Marisu]] (TMO) practically pulls him out the door and down to the barn.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It couldn't hurt to check and would make Marisu feel better.
Branwyn (Lisa) watches them go
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is awful.
Marisu (TMO)] (sorry, I'm busy cracking myself up over here. Don't mean to hog the spotlight)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is never good to lose something that someone you care about has given you.
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Tristan "Should we go watch?"
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] yes lets go
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Come on Jennevieve! Nothing to do here anyway
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles and walks out to see how Ilero and Marisu are doing
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I could make her forget about her horse it that would help
[Master] Aunt Jennevive moved 62'11".
[Master] Branwyn moved 74'00".
Tristan Elaire (Eric) laughs
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But then she would lose all her good memories of her horse.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I suppose there are always trade offs
Ilero (TMO)] (can she use a Cantrip to raise the volume of her voice?)
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (not enough to make it heard over miles)
Ilero (TMO)] (but farther, at least)
Ilero (TMO)] (gee, I sure hope there aren't potential hostiles in the woods around us who might hear all this noise and come investigate)
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] true
[Ilero]] (TMO) looks around the barn and outside for any signs.
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Master] Ilero does not seem to find any tracks in particular that show which way the priest left
[Master] in which direction
Marisu (TMO)] (how do I do cantrips?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (should be on your prof list and then roll it)
Marisu (TMO)] [Marisu]]: Cantrip Proficiency check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 15!!
Marisu (TMO)] *whistles* ZEPHYR!!!
[Master] Aunt Jennevive casts a spell against : Thought Capture: I capture a freestanding though object and examine it.
Marisu (TMO)] [Marisu]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!
[Master] Frowns at Marisu
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Really?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] You were worried about your shoes?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] please move away so I can see if I can find a thought or two that might help us
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Shoo Shoo
Aunt Jennevive (Master) walks into the barn
Eric is receiving the map Church Ground Floor...
[Marisu]] (TMO) looks confused, but does as she's asked, and wanders away looking for any traces.
Eric has received the map Church Ground Floor.
[Master] Aunt Jennevive casts a spell against : Thought Capture: I capture a freestanding though object and examine it.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Someone was very worried and went north
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I will take a guess that it is our missing priest
Aunt Jennevive (Master) looks at Branwyn
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] can you imagine that her strongest thought here earlier was for her shoes?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] perhaps they were magical?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] anyone see any shoes?
Tristan Elaire (Eric) smiles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] people have lots of thoughts. It doesn't necessarily mean anything.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (So what is north of here?)
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (the Craniate Wastes and then off to the roads that lead north, the far end would be Loosend)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that is not in our homewards direction then)
[Master] no the opposite
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] There is no chance we are going to find that priest...
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Maybe with Shur here...
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I wonder why one priest would take two horses though.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] run one rest one?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] get farther faster
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't know anything about horses, Wouldn't they need to be going together so they don't lose each other?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that was more Indigo than branwyn there :) )
Marisu (TMO)] [Marisu]]: Cantrip Proficiency check: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 15!!
Marisu (TMO)] *whistle*
[Master] no response
Marisu (TMO)] (past results do not guarantee future returns)
[Master] lol
Branwyn (Lisa) gently "So what do you think we should do at this point?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] In this instance there is much working against us. He has so much of a head start, we have no trail other than he is going north and it is dark now.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If he is travelling north, Loosend makes sense as the Greeks have a church there.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] i say we rest
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe after we are home and all settled we can take a trip to Loosend and see if Zephy and that priest are there. The horse has your family brand on it I suppose.
[Marisu]] (TMO) walks back into the barn from outside. "Nothing. Oh, what am I going to do?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Loosend is very exciting. Lots of churches, but a large mage guild too.
Marisu (TMO)] (she got shooed outside by Jenn. she didn't hear your conversation)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry - move me to Marisu and repeat. I wanted to talk to her)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (or whichever is easier - sorry)
[Master] Branwyn moved 74'00".
[Master] [Marisu]] moved 27'08".
Marisu (TMO)] What do you think, Branwyn. Is there a chance we can find him?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Probably not in a chase. But if he goes to Loosend to stay, we might be able to visit the Greek church and retrieve the horses. Hoffman's had the Queen's brand and yours the Doeskin I assume.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Since you saved his life, we may be able to get them back.
[Marisu]] (TMO) nods sadly. "Okay. Thank you all for trying. I'm .. I'm sorry I caused a scene. I just wasn't expecting this at all."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If I were a priest on the run and everyone I had been working with were dead. Loosend would be the place I would go.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You should keep that in mind Tristan in case we all get killed somewhere except you.
Branwyn (Lisa) grins
[Marisu]] (TMO) turns and walks back to the church alone.
Branwyn (Lisa) turns to Ilero "When we get home and everything is settled, we will try to get her horse back."
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] hey everyone its been a long week and my youngest just came downstairs..... I'm gonna call it a night
[Master] ok Eric
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I wont be here next week. Im going camping
[Master] that is not ok
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] lol
[Master] how barbaric
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] sorry
Marisu (TMO)] (ok)
[Master] camping with no internet?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] i know right
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] i'll have my iphone
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] :)
Marisu (TMO)] (but ... no YouTube? no Netflix?)
[Master] well there you go
[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] have a great week every9one
Marisu (TMO)] (see ya)
Eric has left the game on Fri Aug 22 22:44:17 EDT 2014
Marisu (TMO)] (well, that leaves two people to choose to RP with if you wantt, Lisa. ;) Princess or Unintelligible Accent.)
[Master] did the two of you want to try to click off the night?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry - was updating party pack)
[Master] is a good thing
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so we will be good when we get home)
Marisu (TMO)] (I'm game for whatever Lisa wants to do.)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sounds like we are in good stopping place for moving the story forward)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we sleep and go home in morning so we can talk with Tristan's priest - that is the plan as I understood it?)
[Master] yes
[Master] so the trick is sleep through the night now or next session of this story arc
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but if you wish to chat or have questions or tell me stories about horses - I am game :) )
Marisu (TMO)] (lol - fun thing is I know nothing about horses. I'm a city boy from L.A.)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (watches to sleep now?)
Marisu (TMO)] (It's a bit risky, if we have an encounter just the 3 of us to fight it off, but if we can get it out of the way we'll be set for next session)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ok but - you said you wanted to finish these arcs in 2 sessions - this is session 1?)
[Master] grins
[Master] I built in lots of leeway
[Master] restroom as you discuss
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
Marisu (TMO)] (I'm game for the gamble if you are.)
Marisu (TMO)] (will let you roll though if so. ;) )
Marisu (TMO)] (Ilero should have 2nd watch, as the only non-spellcaster left)
Marisu (TMO)] (that way everyone else can have 8 hours sleep)
[Lisa] I'm good either way. and me rolling is no sure thing!
[Lisa] (test - lagging again)
Marisu (TMO)] (no, but it's a guaranteed thing if I roll. :D)
[Lisa] going home is just a little longer than one day game time I believe
[Lisa] bran could take 1 watch and then Ilero second and Marisu can team with Jennevieve
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[TMO] that'd work for me
[TMO] Marisu is only 3rd, so she doesn't have much power for fighting things off on her own.
[Lisa] I worry about Marisu
[Lisa] so let's get through the night and we can leave it so Eric can bring us home in the morning.
[TMO] sure thing
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you want to sleep in the office and I'll be out here with the force field?
Lisa is receiving the map Church Ground Floor...
Lisa has received the map Church Ground Floor.
[TMO] the person on watch just outside the office doorway?
[TMO] so they can skip back in and shut the door if needed?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sounds good)
[Master] Tristan Elaire moved 174'02".
[Master] Aunt Jennevive moved 90'00".
[Master] Polinia moved 100'09".
[Master] Yellin moved 96'03".
[Master] [Marisu]] moved 172'06".
[Master] Branwyn moved 152'07".
[Master] [Ilero]] moved 44'11".
[TMO (to Master only)] am thinking will use a WILL roll each sleep period for Ilero. Fail means he doesn't sleep.
[Master (to TMO only)] ok
[Branwyn (Lisa)] There is a bed and a rug in the office. It'll be nicer than out here.
[TMO (to Master only)] two Fails without a full night of sleep in between will move him one category up in exhaustion?
[Master] nods
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 146'09".
[Master] so all set
[Master] Branwyn can roll
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d20) [1d20=4] 4
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (okay then)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the others are in the office?)
[Master] does she have any alterness? etc?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (obs)
[TMO] (oh look, a demon statue! Fun!)
[TMO] (let's hope it's not a horny demon statue)
[Master] I will give her an observation check
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
[Master] Ok, so Branwyn hears noises coming from under the altar
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh no.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is the trapdoor closed?)
[Master] yes
[TMO] [Ilero]]: WIL check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!
[Master] so far it is
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (does it lock?)
[Master] not that you checked before
[Master] you want to go over and see now?
[TMO (to Master only)] fatigue only affects movement rates? I'm not finding modifiers to hit. Won't need them tonight, fortunately, so no rush.
[Master (to TMO only)] fatigue alters your encumbrance which changes, to hit, ac, movement, etc
[Master (to TMO only)] from none to lightly to moderate to heavy, etc
Branwyn (Lisa) runs over to office and pulls on Ilero's sleeve "Come on! Something's coming up from the caverns!"
[Master] Branwyn moved 10'04".
Branwyn (Lisa) doesn't wait for him and runs back out of office
[Master] [Ilero]] moved 20'09".
[TMO (to Master only)] okay, I'm seeing affects movement numbers, but not combat. Will keep looking later.
[TMO] Eh, what?
TMO gets up and stumbles after her.
TMO does all that, but as Ilero instead
Branwyn (Lisa) runs over to trap door and sees if she can lock it
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]] moved 27'09".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 24'08".
[Master] yes there is a latch
Ilero (TMO)] Want hye do quietly?
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.NormalMovement
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Don't think it matters. Do you hear that?
Ilero (TMO) (to Master only)] got it, thanks.
Branwyn (Lisa) closes latch
[Master (to TMO only)] we might need to copy that chart over to another page as well
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Detect Noise check:(d100) [1d100=46] 46 - ROLL FAILED against 15!!
[Master] Branwyn can make a strength check
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: STR check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!
[Master] she is able to break the latch free of it crusty hold and move it over
[Master] to block the door from opening
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Ilero What do you think? Ghouls or goblins?"
[Master] you hear rattling ans shaking from below
Ilero (TMO)] (are the pews wood or stone benches?)
[Master] a dull thud on the door
[Ilero]] (TMO) steps back. "Hope goblins."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Me too.
[Master] (chuckles)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hope it isn't an escaped mummy.
[Master] wood pews
[Ilero]] (TMO) nods to the benches. "Want put bench over door too?"
[Master] will not fit
[Master] the door is under the altar
Ilero (TMO)] (oh, thought it was on the floor behind it. Sorry) Ilero (TMO)] Hye not go back to sleep now. Hye watch door if you want go rest.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sorry I woke you up. You can go back to sleep. I'll wake you if they get through.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
Ilero (TMO)] (heh. we can just reverse the order)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well I can't sleep either.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (are they still pounding on door?)
[Ilero]] (TMO) nods. "Hokay. We sit."
[Master] sporatically
[Master] like they are confused there is no answer perhaps
Ilero (TMO)] Attack: Hand of Reaching:: is now ARMED.
Ilero (TMO)] Attack: Knife:: is now ARMED.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Should we pound back?
[Ilero]] (TMO) shakes his head. "No, t'en t'ey *know* someone here."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (door is wood?)
[Master] yes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If it were goblins I would think they would try to cut their way through
[Branwyn (Lisa)] axes or short swords
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Ghouls would just claw at the door I would think
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Maybe t'ey just try not make too much noise too."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is this intelligent knocking or random tries to break door?)
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
[Master] sounds more like knocking than attempts to break it
[Ilero]] (TMO) sits and stares at the trap door, idly playing with his knife in his left hand.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Listen! It is knocking and not crashing.
Ilero (TMO)] Maybe try deliver cookies?
[Master] grins
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What if there were more priests down there and they were just hiding?
Ilero (TMO)] Or worse.. in church like t'is, it missionaries!
[Ilero]] (TMO) shudders.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yikes - I know why I am lagging - forgot to change config settings when I reinstalled klooge)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh these missionaries are harmless.
Ilero (TMO)] You want open door?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This makes me very curious who's down there though.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not sure if I want to go that far, but what if we knocked back?
Ilero (TMO)] If it hiding priests, t'ey expect us open door, get upset if we not.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well if they were good at being priests they would open the doors all by themselves.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You know, call upon their gods and cast something.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] they wouldn't be behind a door wondering what to do.
[Ilero]] (TMO) grins lopsidedly. "Maybe not good priests. Maybe just acolyte cleaning crew."
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs
Branwyn (Lisa) knocks on door
[Master] the knocking stops
[Ilero]] (TMO) flips the knife around to hold it firmly in his hand.
Branwyn (Lisa) knocks again and listens
[Master] knock
Branwyn (Lisa) knock knock
[Master] knock knock
Branwyn (Lisa) grins at Ilero
Branwyn (Lisa) knock knock knock
Ilero (TMO)] You start new music sensation?
[Master] knock
Branwyn (Lisa) calls "Go away"
Ilero (TMO)] Branwyn and her Knockers.
[Master] SLAM SLAM SLAM
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (could have guessed that was coming :) )
[Master] at the sound of your voice
[Master] now attacking the door
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That wasn't very nice
Ilero (TMO)] Hmm. T'ey not music lovers.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think they are unhappy
Ilero (TMO)] You magic lock door somehow?
Branwyn (Lisa) watches door for evidence it is going to break
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I can cast a locking spell on the lock but that won't stop an axe.
[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs again. "Well, hye guess we just wait and watch. See what happen."
[Master] after a little while the pounding and knocking stops
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well these aren't powerful warriors, mages or priests.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can't get through a wood door!
Ilero (TMO)] Maybe someone who know other way out?
[Master] I will give Branwyn an intuition check on that
[Master] at a plus 2
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: INU check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!
[Master] somethign tickles at the back of her mind but it escapes her
Ilero (TMO)] (oh good, she failed, and therefore didn't notice Ilero forgot his accent in that last sentence)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well the other ways out aren't in this church so it will take them a while at least.
Ilero (TMO)] We move by door, just in case? Only one way watch from t'ere.
[Master] (by the way, there is a Bing Translator API, so we might be getting live auto translate in Tabletop
[Master] (type in English and it pops out in what ever language, and yes there is Klingon and Elvish already :) )
Ilero (TMO)] (I could feed Ilero through twice and back to English to get wierd syntax)
[Master] there are some interesting ideas
[Master] Ok
[Master] so the knocking has stopped
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]] moved 23'00".
[Master] what are your ideas on how to handle the rest of the night?
[Master] now that who ever knows someone is up here?
Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero's watch is up next)
Ilero (TMO)] You go sleep. Hye watch.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'll stay up with you. I have enough spells to be of use and we just have to ride home tomorrow. We should be fine.
[Master] Ilero can make a check
Ilero (TMO)] (we're good at that simultaneous talking thing)
[Master] grins
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry)
[Master] it is very fun
Ilero (TMO)] (no, it's good. a bit of character fun)
Ilero (TMO)] (just like a sitcom, since we're always saying the opposite of each other)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I feel bad. I got them all upset.
Ilero (TMO)] (now all we need is a laugh track)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh god no!)
Ilero (TMO)] (1d20) [1d20=11] 11
[Master] and Ilero's watch passes quietly
[Master] and I have no laughing sound bit to play
[Master] so Marisu in the morning
Ilero (TMO)] (oh well. I hate sitcoms anyways)
[Master] sitcoms are ok, just not the laugh track
[Master] if you have to tell me when to laugh, then your jokes are just not funny
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes laugh tracks bad)
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: WIL check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!
Marisu (TMO)] (1d20) [1d20=16] 16
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Now I really wish we would have opened the door and seen who was there.
[Master] and the sun slowly comes out
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what is the WIL check?)
Marisu (TMO)] (to see if Ilero can sleep)
Marisu (TMO)] (he's going to have nightmares for a while)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not good)
Marisu (TMO)] (he made his rolls tonight, which surprised me. I was expecting at least one fail)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Should I look down the trap door and see if anyone is still there?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe better to tell Tristan when he wakes up.
[Lisa] something for next time
Marisu (TMO)] yepyep
