BiBo!!! is receiving the map Roadside 1...
[Master] Howdy sir
BiBo!!! has received the map Roadside 1.
[BiBo!!!] I could actually see your game this week
[Master] excellent
[Master] so you are immune to earthquakes but not fish sandwiches yet?
[BiBo!!!] you know, I was driving at the time and I noticed my car shaking a little, but I attributed it to engine trouble at the time
[BiBo!!!] the car has many assorted issues
[Master] chuckles
[BiBo!!!] the funny thing is none of the issues are constant so whenever I take it to the mechanic, he cant find anything wrong
[BiBo!!!] its like the car is playing some sort of loony toons prank on me
[Master] that is a good thing
[Master] it knows when it is about to be punished and avoids it
[BiBo!!!] but the problems are not minor
[BiBo!!!] its freezing now and sometimes the heater doesnt work
[BiBo!!!] sometimes the side mirror decides to fold in
[Master] um the heater always works
[Master] it is the fan that stops working
[BiBo!!!] sometimes the steering wheel locks up
[Master] that must be lots of fun then!
[BiBo!!!] sometimes the brakes stop working
[BiBo!!!] and every time I take the car to the mechanic, he swears nothing is wrong
[BiBo!!!] it is amazing I havent gotten into an accident yet
Lisa has joined the game on Fri Dec 07 18:45:52 EST 2012
Lisa is receiving the map Roadside 1...
[Master] so you are all settled in with the new character? you should look at the Gnome stuff I put up on the site
[Master] all the kits are there lots of societial stuff
[Master] and hello Lisa
Lisa has received the map Roadside 1.
[Lisa] Hello
[Master] I am working on more Halfling stuff also Lisa for Indigo
[Lisa] There were 2 links to your game on the opening page
[Master] I sort of felt we were ignoring the differences a bit
[Master] wonderful!
[Master] thank you
[Lisa] guess I picked the right one
[Master] chuckles
[Lisa] what are we ignoring?
[Master] how Halflings and Gnomes are different than humans
[Master] felt there should be some more background for them
[Master] grisn
[Master] grins
[Master] all sort of stuff to work on
[BiBo!!!] gnomes are crazy halflings
[BiBo!!!] and yes I am settled in. been wanting to make this character for a while but always been a bit scared to play a wizard with access to only 3 schools
[BiBo!!!] but after llath, it doesnt feel so limiting :-P
[Master] smile
[BiBo!!!] especially since things normally immune to illusion can be affected by my illusions
[Master] it will be interesting
[BiBo!!!] potentially anyway
[Lisa] how does that work?
[BiBo!!!] I am a specialist of speciality
[BiBo!!!] I dont just specialize in illusion, I specialize in a specific type of illusion so my illusions are so amazing they fool things that dont normally get fooled by them
[BiBo!!!] like undead
[Master] there are some good things there on the site too now for Illusions and the chance of someone noticing, Spell Subtley etc
[Lisa] what is your specific type?
[BiBo!!!] visual illusions
[BiBo!!!] making stuff appear
[BiBo!!!] as opposed to making things disappear
[BiBo!!!] so putting on an illusionary puppet show is within my specialty, but invisibility wouldnt be
[BiBo!!!] I mean, I could still cast invisibility if I learned it, but dont get any special bonuses
[Lisa] okay
[Lisa] and normal with things like sound effects etc?
[BiBo!!!] things immune to illusion would be able to see me
[BiBo!!!] sound effects would be part of that
[BiBo!!!] sound, smell, thermal
[BiBo!!!] there are 2 different types of gnome illusionist specialists, the other one focuses on stealth infiltration sort of stuff
[Lisa] so what is Foto?
[Master] Foto is a cleric
[BiBo!!!] and a dwarf
[Master] no
[Master] Foto is a gnome
[Master] Qui is the dwarf
[BiBo!!!] oh
[BiBo!!!] foto is a gnome?
[Lisa] yes
[BiBo!!!] and a cleric?
[Lisa] a very quiet one
[BiBo!!!] I thought he was a human wizard
[Master] chuckles
[Master] see my point about Gnomes and Halflings needing more info about them being different?
[Lisa] see how quiet he is!
[BiBo!!!] well, its the picture
[BiBo!!!] it looks like merlin
[BiBo!!!] sword in the stone merlin
[BiBo!!!] and he almost never does anything
[Lisa] pointy hat but I think he still belongs on someone's front lawn
[BiBo!!!] he would need a red hat for that
[Lisa] I can cantrip it red
[Master] lol
[Lisa] stick him in flower bed
[BiBo!!!] we wouldnt notice the difference
[Master] testing anew map sendingit to Lisa only
[Master] do you see that Lisa?
[Master] Marco are you ok?
[BiBo!!!] in what meaning?
[Master] ok
Lisa has left the game on Fri Dec 07 19:04:27 EST 2012
[Master] This is weird
[Master] it is a small map
[Master] but it locked her client up
[Master] she is trying to get back in
[Master] will have to explore that in a bit
Lisa has joined the game on Fri Dec 07 19:07:13 EST 2012

Lisa has received the map Roadside 1.
[Master] thank you Lisa
[Master] sorry about that
[Lisa] submits resignation as guinea pig
[Master] sorry your cage is locked
[Master] there is no escape
[Lisa] bad map
[Master] Branwyn XP award: 500. Next level in 86214.
[Master] Esmerelda XP award: 500. Next level in 13997.
[Master] Hoping John shows up so he can play Miranda
[Master] but I am ready for you to quiz Toybin and travel to the check point
[BiBo!!!] okay!
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::walks over to toybin::
[Master] actually let me use the restroom then we can start with Toybin, grins,
[Master] but you can quiz Branwyn
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::walks over to Branwyn instead::
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Quiz time!"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (d none of the above)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "What is something you can see when your eyes are closed?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The color black?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You see black? Weird, I see patches of white mixed with a sort of grayish yellow."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "But no, thats not the answer."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What is the answer?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Its a pretty sad quiz if I give you the answer now isnt it."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well if I close my eyes I can see things within my mind. But I don't think that is the answer you want either.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "No, but you are getting closer."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So if I don't guess right I will never know the answer?
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "It is a distinct possibility, but not likely."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You are really close though."
new guy has joined the game on Fri Dec 07 19:17:20 EST 2012
new guy is receiving the map Roadside 1...
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I will have to think on it. Maybe I should close my eyes ....
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi Bill :) )
new guy has received the map Roadside 1.
[new guy] hello
[Master] hello sir
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Keep thinking. Get it right and I will give you a prize!"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] All right but I don't think I'll be winning any prizes today.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::smirks:: "You know, for a lady who they call Branwyn the Mysterious, you arent so good at using the mysterious muscle between your ears."
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Ms Gnome you should be careful about angering Branwyn
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am more of a straightforward type of person. Not so much for tricks and gimmicks.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I mean, I expect it from someone named Thor the Mighty, or Bill the Bloated..."
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] she could be named the Deadly Branwyn
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Okay, well maybe you can give me an answer Sir Toychest."
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] what is your question?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "What is something you can see when your eyes are closed?"
Toybin of Castling (Master) thinks for a moment
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Dreams?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::taps her nose: "Ping pong!"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You get a prize!"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::roots around in her bag then hands a small clay ball with a bit of string hanging out of it to Toybin::
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] takes it carefully between his fingers
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Here you are! A marvel of gnomeish engineering. The world famous gnomish smokepot!"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] it is not smoking though
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Its a pot and you smoke it. Wait no. Its a pot that MAKES smoke. Well you have to light it first silly."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "It would be a rather mean prize if I lit it before handing it to you."
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] well thank you I guess
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You are welcome Sir Boytin!"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] so where have you been Branwyn?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "For the record, I would have also accepted the answer, "Darkness" even though it is not the official answer."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (huh?)
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] talking as you walk along the road
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but black didn't work?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (whatever)
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I think that black would do too Branwyn if Darkness is right
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] do you want this?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] holds out his smoke pot
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thought last week we said that we told Toybin where we've been - I REALLY do not want summarize story AGAIN)
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] (yes he is being courteous as you walk along)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((not good with small talk))
Branwyn (Lisa) shakes her head "It's all yours Toybin. It could be could cover at some point"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] so Sir Androp joined you when you were at the Citadel
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] did you enjoy your stay there?
[new guy] I am back at the keyboard.
Androp Ilkep (new guy) snorts amused, "Sir? Now thats funny..."
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Do you have a proper title Sir Androp?
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] Call me whatever you want. I don't have any title at present.
TMO has joined the game on Fri Dec 07 19:33:29 EST 2012
TMO is receiving the map Roadside 1...
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I am gonna call you Tim then."
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] well I am glad to make your aquaintence Sir Androp
TMO has received the map Roadside 1.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] if you have been helping Branwyn on this quest that is all I need to know
Androp Ilkep (new guy) Shrugs, "I met Indigo and fell in with these fine folks. I help out when I can"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I was very impressed Sir Indigo with this map
TMO waves.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Hello TMO
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Esmerelda modified: Equipment - DELETED: smokepot (3), null, null, null.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] does anyone have anything to declare at the border?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Nope. Does anyone have anything they want to not declare at the border?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I will have to declare my silver dagger most likely
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And perhaps the cold pressed iron one as well
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I do not know about the iron one,
Androp Ilkep (new guy) shrugs, "I don't think I have anything"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] but that silver dagger would be very useful
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You sure you want to be declaring that?"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] but I am doubtful they will let you bring it in
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I can get it in."
[TMO] (don't know if my peeps have anything or not. will check)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Are you sure? I would rather declare it than lose it altogether.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi TMO)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Tell you what, if you lose it altogether, I will buy you a new one."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "It'll be fine. Trust me." ::grins::
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I was going to suggest we find a good spot and bury our things
[TMO] (nothing apparent)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Wait.... you are a terrible liar arent you?" ::squints at Toybin::
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I do not lie
Branwyn (Lisa) hands Esmerelda the silver dagger
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Qui has a set of silver cestus things)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "How about half truth. Is that okay?"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] no
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (this all the silver we have? we need to go shopping)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Okay, Then we need to check in separately from you. Anyone else have problems with lying?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] well I think we should be careful
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I am certain that if anyone I stopped along the roadway talked
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Great! So the plan is, we check in first. Toybox, you show up about 20 minutes later and check in normally."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That goes without saying
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] they know that I am here with Miranda
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Oh.... then we REALLY dont want to check in with you
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "If they recognize you at the border, we are all in trouble."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Why did you stop EVERYONE on the road by the way? Were you trying to be attacked or captured or something?"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I did not talk to any of the guards themselves
TMO has left the game on Fri Dec 07 19:46:00 EST 2012
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Doesnt mean they dont have a description to work with."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "And you dont seem the type to use disguises."
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I am a knight of the Court
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I can go where I wish
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Are you a knight of THIS court?"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] the Queen's court
TMO has joined the game on Fri Dec 07 19:46:55 EST 2012
TMO is receiving the map Roadside 1...
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] (tested a new map with TMO, one works the other is too big still)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((does the queen rule this area?))
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] yes to Marco
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Drillian is the Kingdom
TMO has received the map Roadside 1.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] this is Ghostwood Domain, the Drake Estates
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "All the same, it doesnt mean you have to go around making people angry."
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] where Count Drake rules from
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I do not make people angry
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] gestures to Indigo
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You could disappear and no one would even know it happened."
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] tell this gnome that I do not make people angry
[TMO] (I am back now! yay!)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::peers at Indigo:: "He never makes people angry? It smells a little fibbish...."
Indigo (Lisa) looks down for a bit "Actually you do make some poeple angry"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] well yes some people GET angry, but I do not make them that way, they just to not want to follow the law
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::laughs:: "Oh! I get it! You were lying when you said you do not lie. Wow! You are REALLY good at lying!"
[Ilero (TMO)] Hye t'ink hye am terrible at lying, yes. And hye neffer cheats at poker neit'er.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] if they just would do what they are supposed to then it would all be better
[Indigo (Lisa)] You aren't exactlly .... flexible.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "And there is a half truth."
Shurkural (TMO) punches Ilero in the arm.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] sighs
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I still think it would be best if I go in after you
Indigo (Lisa) looks up "But I like you Sir Toybin!"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Thank you Indigo
[new guy] I am away from the keyboard.
[Indigo (Lisa)] You never make me angry.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Yes, probably. We can watch from a safe distance in case something goes wrong like you getting decapitated or something. Not that that would happen or anything."
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] you are a good ma.... good person and I hope you will be a knight soon
[Indigo (Lisa)] But not a lot of people make me angry though.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Is that a challenge?"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] who made you angry recently Indigo?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think anyone would make me a knight.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] (BRB)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I bet I could make you angry."
[Shurkural (TMO)] (with a silly-ish based character in the group, I am going to have to stifle my silly responses, since they are not as much in character for my folks. Some, yes, but not nearly as much as me in person. ;) )
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] b
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] so we will meet back up at the Inn tonight?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((well then I will strive to make up enough silly for the both of us))
[new guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[new guy] I am away from the keyboard.
[Shurkural (TMO)] (you are doing quite well so far. ;) )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That sounds fine
[new guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] so Toybin takes Miranda's pack for her and they move off into the brush on the side of the road to wait
[Shurkural (TMO)] I don't think I've got nothing worth sneaking through the border, sugar.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] :: takes everyones things and gets ready for the border::
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (does Koorin carry holy items that would be taken? Gypsy said that too)
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] so I will jump yuou all to the hills on the edge of the domain
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] and yes
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((probably))
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] her holy symbol will be taken
[Master] Branwyn moved 10'09".
[Master] I put Bran on the map just to show where you are coming in
[Master] the path here winds through the hills
[Master] and then down to the valley floor there
[Master] you see the village laid out below you
[Shurkural (TMO)] (the castle in the lower right looks like a big door at the end of a tunnel.)
[Master] yeap
[Master] standing up on top of a hill
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] where is border patrol?
[Master] goin to send that image of the castle on the other side of the valley to you all
[Master] just be patient for it
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] I meant on the map
[Shurkural (TMO)] (do we have to climb up or down the hill with the switchbacks in front of us?)
[Master] down the hill
[Shurkural (TMO)] (thought so)
[Master] and on the map you are past the check point
[Master] everyone sees the castle now?
[Shurkural (TMO)] (yes)
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] ((yep))
[Master] ok
[Master] I have other views as well but wanted you to get a feel for the scale
[Master] the top floor of the tower there is almost 250 up
[Master] 250 feet
[Master] Marco you still with us?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] yep
[Master] ok
[Master] so now we can roleplay the guard post
[Master] then you will be at the top of the hill there
[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 79'06".
[Master] Ilero moved 4'11".
[Master] Indigo moved 10'06".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 25'01".
[Master] Esmerelda moved 17'06".
[Master] Koorin moved 35'02".
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] okay, before we get to the checkpoint, I am using improved phantasmal force to make the contents of my bag of goodies to look like mundane things one would expect a girl to be carrying
[Master] ok
[Master] everyone up to speed?
[Master] Guard #10 moved 6'03".
[Master] Guard moved 7'04".
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] ((sure))
[Master] Mage moved 7'03".
[Shurkural (TMO)] (brass knuckles, and a photo of David Hasslehoff?)
[Mage (Master)] a man dressed in a cloak and carrying a wand steps out from a small building on the side of the road
[Mage (Master)] HALT
Ilero (TMO) halts.
[Mage (Master)] who wishes to enter the Drake Estates
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Is that a riddle?"
Lisa is receiving the map Roadside 1...
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Um... a drake?"
Ilero (TMO) moves forward. "We does, thanks you. Is t'is a problem, sir?"
Lisa has received the map Roadside 1.
[Mage (Master)] what is your business in the Estate
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "We do. Do. He does, she does, we do."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::nudges Ilero::
[Master] Ilero moved 9'09".
[Androp Ilkep (new guy) (to Master only)] should I have a map other then the overview one? because I don't see anybody on that one...
[Mage (Master)] fixed
[Ilero (TMO)] We is here on business. Looking for good markets for goods from Blackwater, and mebbe stuffs to take back too. T'ese ot'ers is friends and guards, locals who know t'ere way 'round better t'an me."
[Mage (Master)] hmmm
[Mage (Master)] walks up to Ilero
[Mage (Master)] looks him over
[Mage (Master)] takes his wand and TAPS him on the forehead with a little swirl
[Mage (Master)] you may enter
[Mage (Master)] you are now marked
[Master] Ilero moved 10'05".
[Master] Mage moved 5'11".
[Master] Mage targets Ilero. Distance: 1'08"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (since when do mages get put on guard duty?)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Marked? What does that mean?"
Ilero (TMO) eyes him warily. "Marked wit' What, sir?"
[Mage (Master)] He bears the Counts mark he is allowed in
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((depends on how rich the person requiring guards is))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (just wonder what he did to rate work in a shack on the side of the road)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Oh. So that is like a wizard mark wand? Neat! Hey mister, will you let me play with your magic wand?" ::winks::
Ilero (TMO) nods. "T'ank you, sir. We can go now, yes?"
[Mage (Master)] gestures Ezmerelda forward
[Mage (Master)] looks at Ilero, you can enter,
[Master] Ilero moved 13'01".
[Master] Ilero targets Guard. Distance: 2'03"
[Master] Ilero targets Guard #10. Distance: 5'02"
[Mage (Master)] adn teh tw guards step forward
[Mage (Master)] start asking questions about what you are carrying,
[Master] Esmerelda moved 14'11".
[Master] Esmerelda targets Mage. Distance: 2'11"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::wanders forward and eyes the magic wand:: "Can I touch it?"
[Mage (Master)] I will do the touching young lady
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Mage (Master)] and does the swirl over Esmerelda's forhead
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Oooh. I like a man who can give orders."
[Mage (Master)] then go follow your friend there
[Master] Esmerelda moved 10'08".
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::blows a kiss:: "Sure sugar."
[Mage (Master)] looks at Branwyn
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::walks off to the next section::
Branwyn (Lisa) looks sadly at mage "I'm sorry. This must be terrible for you."
[Mage (Master)] and what is a powerful mage like you working with Him? thumbs over at Ilero
Mage (Master) raises an eyebrow
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What's wrong with him? He is a good man and he kind of grows on you.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Besides we're all going to the same place. Why not travel together?
[Mage (Master)] I should think you would be the one ordering him around not the other way around
[Branwyn (Lisa)] oh. Did he give me an order? I must not have heard it.
[Mage (Master)] so why do you want to enter the Estates?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am travelling through parts of Drillian I have not seen before. I have just come from the Vilmar Estates and will end up at Chandler Cowles.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Drake Family is so illustrious, how could I miss it in my travels?
[Mage (Master)] we do not allow casual visitors to the Estate's you will have to find a way to meet the Count another time
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Excuse me?
[Mage (Master)] I said you are not coming in
[Mage (Master)] why should I change my mind?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think that when it gets back to the Count that you have turned me away. I think you will have wished you had not.
[Mage (Master)] my instructions are clear
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Besides, as you have so wisely stated, I am following orders from the gentleman you just let in.
[Mage (Master)] looks back at Ilero
[Mage (Master)] Do you say that this is one of your servants?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And what are your instructions?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He is not my servant!
[Mage (Master)] looks back at Branwyn, "This must be terrible for you"
[Mage (Master)] to be his servant
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((I think he was asking ilero, not you))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh - oops)
[Ilero (TMO)] T'ey is mine guards, guides, and friends. Is t'ere a problem wit' allowing my people to come wit' me?
[Mage (Master)] you will be held accountable for their actions
Branwyn (Lisa) feels sudden liberating lack of responsibility
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "He is rather terrible with numbers."
Branwyn (Lisa) grins "lovely! Then may I pass?"
Ilero (TMO) nods. "Of course. Hye try to pick reliable people." He shoots a glance at the gnome. "... mostly. Sometimes it harder to make sure t'an ot'ers. Hye am sure you haff seen all kinds pass t'rough before."
[Mage (Master)] gestures at Branwyn and does the swirl with the wand
[Mage (Master)] Looks at Koorin
[Master] Branwyn moved 20'03".
[Master] Branwyn targets Mage. Distance: 4'10"
[Master] Koorin moved 26'01".
[Master] Koorin targets Mage. Distance: 3'02"
[Koorin (Master)] HI there!
[Koorin (Master)] you can do that with me
[Koorin (Master)] I am the cook,
[Koorin (Master)] well not only the cook,
[Koorin (Master)] but I am a really good cook
[Koorin (Master)] I mean really good
[Koorin (Master)] looks over at Indigo
[Koorin (Master)] Tell him
[Koorin (Master)] I am here to travel with them
[Indigo (Lisa)] She's a really good cook!
[Koorin (Master)] cook, clean, heal
[Koorin (Master)] I do what they can['t seem to do for themselves
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well .. cook and heal. Never seen her clean much.
[Koorin (Master)] you look like you could use some good food
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Her chili was fantastic."
[Koorin (Master)] does it get lonely out here on the road?
[Mage (Master)] You will be needed I am certain
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "He has his magic wand to play with. I am sure he is fine."
[Mage (Master)] and marks Koorin
[Mage (Master)] looks over at Androp
[Master] Koorin moved 16'01".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 19'00".
[Mage (Master)] and you are?
Androp Ilkep (new guy) stands stoically looking at the mage, "A guard for the group. Do what I can to help them out when neededJ"
Androp Ilkep (new guy) narrows his eyes, "What exactly are you doing with this mark? How does it function?"
[Mage (Master)] it marks you as allowed to be in the Estate
[Mage (Master)] anyone found without permission is brought to teh Count's Justice
Ilero (TMO) nods. "Yes, a good question for a guard to ask to protect his client, I t'ink. Good job." Ilero reaches into a pouch and takes out a gold coin and flips it through the air to Androp. "A reward, sir, for clear t'inking."
Androp Ilkep (new guy) catches the coin with a quirked eyebrow, "Uh.. right. Listen, what I mean is, obviously it is magical but all it does is actually leave a mark on you?"
[Mage (Master)] correct, you will be marked for the Count
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((is it just a wand using the wizard mark spell?))
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((as far as we can see))
[Indigo (Lisa)] Probably tracks our movements too
[Ilero (TMO)] (brb)
[Mage (Master)] (you do not see any actual mark but that is your guess)
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] Alright.. fine. I just don't want to be walking somewhere and get set on fire or frozen because you've marked me with some magic device
[Mage (Master)] you might be set on fire but not from this mark
[Mage (Master)] the penalties for transgressions are strict here in the Ghostwood
[Mage (Master)] we do not take lightly the trangressions of strnagers
[Mage (Master)] gestures, swirls and marks ANdrop
[Mage (Master)] does the same to Shur
[Mage (Master)] looks at Indigo
[Master] Shurkural moved 29'03".
Androp Ilkep (new guy) gives the mage a serious look but moves past him muttering something under his breath
[Mage (Master)] so a Hin for a guard?
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 21'09".
[Master] Indigo moved 18'07".
[Master] Indigo targets Mage. Distance: 4'06"
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm with them.
[Mage (Master)] very well
[Mage (Master)] gestures and marks
[Mage (Master)] turns back to the guard house
[Mage (Master)] is there anything that needs to be locked?
[Master] Mage moved 47'01".
[Mage (Master)] pulls out a different wand
[Mage (Master)] looking at the guards
[Master] Guard moved 9'11".
[Master] Guard #10 moved 9'02".
[Master] so far nothing except these
[Guard #10 (Master)] nothign but these
[Guard #10 (Master)] holds out some of Koorin's supplies
[Guard #10 (Master)] a small mirror and a couple of silver peices and her holy symbol
[Guard #10 (Master)] puts them into a small bag
[Guard #10 (Master)] (antyhing else?)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((she had a mirror?))
[Guard #10 (Master)] small vanity piece
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((probably not))
[Guard #10 (Master)] the guard brings a small box over
[Guard #10 (Master)] puts the things inside
[Mage (Master)] (TMo?)
[Mage (Master)] Looks at Branwyn
[Mage (Master)] do you wish to lock this before I do?
[Shurkural (TMO)] (did I miss something I should respond to?)
[Mage (Master)] (sorry was not sure if you were there)
[Mage (Master)] Looks at Ilero
[Mage (Master)] did you want to have your servant lock this box before I store it away
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you give me permission to cast My Lord?
[Mage (Master)] (OH man is Ilero in trouble now)
Ilero (TMO) tilts his head to one side, considering it, then nods. "Yes, probably for best, I t'ink. Can not hurt to do, no?" To Branwyn, he says, "Yes, go ahead and lock box please."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you! I've been wanting to cast for weeks now!
[Ilero (TMO)] (hey, *I* never called anyone my servant! ;) )
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at box intently "I hope this works"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Knock: All locks in a (10*9) 90 square foot area are unlocked.
[Ilero (TMO)] (that whole servant discussion happened without my input, thankyouverymuch!)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (opposite in this case)
[Mage (Master)] ok
Branwyn (Lisa) claps hands happily
[Mage (Master)] and the box glows for a moment
[Mage (Master)] then the Mage taps it with his wand
[Ilero (TMO)] (/me hopes there isn't a lock on the guard room door)
[Mage (Master)] covering it with goo
[Mage (Master)] and it is taken into the guard house by the other guard
[Mage (Master)] You will be staying at the Inn of the Crimson Tears
[Mage (Master)] it is along the river
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I shall have to memorize an anti goo spell for when we depart.
[Mage (Master)] my companions on the river have similarly vouched for anyone you meet there
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what does that mean?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You have companions?
[Mage (Master)] (the river that flows through the Estate)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The mage who works the night shift?
[Mage (Master)] I will hold your goods here until you return
[Mage (Master)] if you hurry you should reach the inn just after night fall
[Master] Time of Day: 06:31 PM. Day 28 Fin ___ se, Lec {Early Summer} 28th, 342 SKR.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Why should we hurry? Walking at dusk is very nice.
[Master] Branwyn moved 6'00".

[Master] Branwyn moved 57'09".

[Master] there is the path to the Inn
[Master] to the bridges
[Master] or to the village
[Master] Ilero?
[Master] which way do you want to go?
[Ilero (TMO)] (Are we being escorted, or free wandering?)
[Master] just free wandering
[Master] you are all alone for now
[Ilero (TMO)] (ah, that's just what THEY want us to think!!)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] I thought we were meeting at a n inn
[Ilero (TMO)] We go to Inn, yes? Need to get settled and get idea of what here before we get started, yes?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (bob is giving us the chance to go wandering around vampireville at night)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] cuz that sounds like an excellent idea
[Ilero (TMO)] (which is why I am thinking the Inn!! :) )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sounds good to me - thinks back to last inn they were at)
[Ilero (TMO)] (at least we'll have walls and wood to make impromptu stakes out of
[Branwyn (Lisa)] ( I totally agree - just last inn was full of werewolves and it made me smile at thought of a safe inn)
[Ilero (TMO)] (have we stayed at a safe inn yet?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I have - but few and far between)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((better Inn than out though))
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (how does the mist work during the day? didn't we find out that vampires can wander around in the daytime with this mist?)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((probably, but better not to tempt fate))
[Master] so that is a yes to the Inn
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((yes yes and yes))
[Ilero (TMO)] (yes)

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I am a knight of the court

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Why shouldnt we be here?"

[Barnicot (Master)] not many strangers come here on foot
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no it counts)
[Barnicot (Master)] a couple of fisherfolk
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "There are other ways to come here?"
[Barnicot (Master)] down the river
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Oh. That would have been easier."
[Barnicot (Master)] jerks his chin at Toybin, like this one did
[Ilero (TMO)] Not wit'out a boat, yes?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "So does that mean we are going to send you up the river later?" ::smirks at Toybin::
[Barnicot (Master)] I hope not
[Barnicot (Master)] but keep that boat in your pocket there and do not open it up in here
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I give you my word
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Is that a euphamism or do you actually have a boat in your pocket?"
[Barnicot (Master)] how many of you are staying here?
Toybin of Castling (Master) pulls out a small flat leather pouch
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Toybin "You have a boat in your pocket?"
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I carry this with me just in case
Ilero (TMO) looks around. "All of us, please."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Ah, so he isnt just happy to see us."

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I am more lady than you can handle."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Just wouldn't you rather sleep in a bed?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] should we stay down here?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] maybe Master Indigo is right and one of us should sleep in the hall upstairs
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] to help guard the ladies
[Indigo (Lisa)] In the hal!?!
[Indigo (Lisa)] Sir Toybin you know I like you but those ladies do not need guarding.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Why don't we get a room across the hall from the ... ladies?
[Barnicot (Master)] strange things on the river at night young man
[Ilero (TMO)] How many rooms is up t'ere?
[Barnicot (Master)] I have three left
[Barnicot (Master)] one is taken
[Ilero (TMO)] Answsers question. Two rooms for ladies.
[Ilero (TMO)] No more rooms open.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Or is Toybin in the room that is taken?
[Barnicot (Master)] three rooms open
[Indigo (Lisa)] I can't believe you would have a knight from the Court sleeping on the floor.
[Barnicot (Master)] one taken
[Indigo (Lisa)] (4 total)
[Barnicot (Master)] (right)
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I will be fine sleeping on the floor guarding Branwyn Master Indigo
[Ilero (TMO)] Sorry, misunderstood. We take all t'ree rooms please. Ot'er room we can figure out later.

[Barnicot (Master)] nods cautiously

[Ilero (TMO)] Maybe so. Is problem?
[Barnicot (Master)] shrugs, I suppose not
[Ilero (TMO)] (I don't have any money on my character sheet. Does he have enough on him, or do I have to pretend someone else is carrying his funds?)
[Barnicot (Master)] (that would be Indigo)
Androp Ilkep (new guy) stands quietly holding his staff in both hands

[Master] it is stamped with the Count's mark on it unlike most coinage that is a mishmash
new guy has received the map Crimson Inn ground floor.
[Barnicot (Master)] are you accusing me of swindling you?
[Indigo (Lisa)] No! Just never seen one before! What's this sign on it?
[Master] (to be clear, most of the coins you handle are from the mint in Rivers Bend, that is the offical standard for most of the Small Kingdoms but each place has their own markings, etc. )
[Barnicot (Master)] that is from the Count
[Barnicot (Master)] that is his mark
[Indigo (Lisa)] (what does mark look like? large bat?)
[Master] it looks like a stylized dragon or bat with a long tail
[Barnicot (Master)] I suppose I can get you a bowl of porridge before you go to sleep
[Barnicot (Master)] porrige and ale will be one copper each
[Koorin (Master)] OH
[Koorin (Master)] I can help cook if you need that
[Master] Koorin moved 31'09".
[Master] Koorin targets Barnicot. Distance: 1'09"
[Koorin (Master)] puts his hand on Korrins head to stop her
[Barnicot (Master)] no no
[Barnicot (Master)] you stay out of here
[Barnicot (Master)] you go sit
[Barnicot (Master)] you want to doctor it up when it gets to you that is your buisness
[Koorin (Master)] HURMPH
Branwyn (Lisa) looks around bar
[Koorin (Master)] I bet I can do a better job than you anyway
[Koorin (Master)] jsut fine
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
[Master] Koorin moved 16'08".
[Master] Koorin no longer targets Barnicot.
[Koorin (Master) (to Lisa only)] there is obviously room for more people but it is quiet as a ghost town,
[Master] Shurkural moved 7'00".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So not very busy tonight. Everyone staying home?
[Master] Esmerelda moved 17'06".
[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 19'00".

[Barnicot (Master)] this is busy enough for me
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh, Sir Ilerom is it permissable to order ale for the group?
[TMO] (back)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (cannot type tonight )
Androp Ilkep (new guy) grins and shakes his head at Branwyn's comment
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well if we weren't here there would be no one at all.
[Master] Time of Day: 07:00 PM. Day 28 Fin ___ se, Lec {Early Summer} 28th, 342 SKR.
TMO looks at her oddly. "Of course. You in strange mood tonight, or what? Go, enjoy. We safe in town and tavern tonight, no chance of wild beasts finding our camp tonight."
[Barnicot (Master)] Who wold want to come out
TMO winks where the bartender can't see it.
[Barnicot (Master)] the rooms are upstairs
[Barnicot (Master)] so you should be safe
TMO realizes he forgot to don his Ilero suit.
Ilero (TMO) feels better now.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Please may we get some drinks for all of us.
[Barnicot (Master)] nods
[Master] Barnicot moved 6'08".
[Master] goes in the back
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 5'06".
[Master] after a few minutes
[Master] he comes back with his arms full of bowls
[Master] sets one down in front of each of you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Don't you think it's odd? A nice big tavern. Early evening and no one is here, eating, drinking and what not?
[Master] with a hard knob of bread instead of a spoon
[Master] then goes back inside again
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Is he listening to us?)
Androp Ilkep (new guy) digs into his porridge with a frown
[Master] cannot tell
[Master] but he did not hear your last comment
[Master] then he comes back with a large pitcher and several wooden mugs
[Master] sets them all down on the table
[Master] sets the picther down and walks away
[Master] goes back inside for a moment
[Ilero (TMO)] Not necessarily so odd. T'ey no allow casual visitors, according to guard. So empty place normal mebbe. May make better business for me, if less competitors.
[Ilero (TMO)] But less visitors also mean less customers, so mixed blessing for me.
Koorin (Master) reaches out to tug Androp's bowl over, sprinkles a little power over it then pushes it back to him with a smile
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I suppose so. I was hoping to see some local townfolk at least.
[Ilero (TMO)] Have to go over whole town tomorrow, see what can find.
Androp Ilkep (new guy) sits back and lets Koorin do her thing and then gives a curt nod of thanks and goes back to eating
Ilero (TMO) asks Branwyn, "How did guard know what you was?"
[Ilero (TMO)] (just put the kids to bed. they would have liked that. Maybe. ;) )
[Master] (will do it for them next time they are by the screen(
Shurkural (TMO) makes sure her bow and sword are handy.
Branwyn (Lisa) shrugs "guess I just seem like one."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Kind of like a th .. scout can tell another scout.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I do feel sorry for him though. Standing around waiting to cast the same thing over and over.
Ilero (TMO) clucks his tongue in humor. "What you all t'ink? Dogs, or wolf? And how close?"
[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!
[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: Survival, Swamp check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Barnicot (Master)] comes out to collect the bowls
[Barnicot (Master)] wrinkles his nose when he picks up from Koorin and Androp
[TMO] You gots many wolves in valley, yes?
[Barnicot (Master)] the woods are haunted
[Barnicot (Master)] there are caverns up on the hill side
[Barnicot (Master)] we do not worry about the wolves
[TMO] Is not just a name? Most places have Dark Forest, or Black Wood, or Misty Woods of Deat'. Usually just a name, mean not'ing.
[Barnicot (Master)] nothing is just a name
[Barnicot (Master)] only the cursed gypsies travel the forest
[Indigo (Lisa)] Haunted? There are real ghosts in Ghostwood Forest?
[TMO] Any problems in daylight, or only at night?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I've seen ghouls and wraiths but never a real live ghost before!
[Barnicot (Master)] the Count knows the forest
[Barnicot (Master)] and he allows the gypsies to visit
[Indigo (Lisa)] Visit the ghosts?
[Barnicot (Master)] I do not go in the fores
[Barnicot (Master)] I do not know
[Indigo (Lisa)] But you said it was haunted before.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Only ghosts haunt things.
[Barnicot (Master)] that is what they say
[Indigo (Lisa)] So the Count must know the ghosts then.
[Barnicot (Master)] I have never seen the Count
[Indigo (Lisa)] He doesn't come out for festivals and holidays for the town?
[Barnicot (Master)] there are no festivals in town
[Barnicot (Master)] there are events at the castle
[Indigo (Lisa)] That's not very nice.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Even for good harvests? For the towns people and farmers.
[Barnicot (Master)] I do not remember any good harvests
[Indigo (Lisa)] And priests are always having festivals.
[Barnicot (Master)] there are no priests in blackraven
[Indigo (Lisa)] No priests!
[Barnicot (Master)] (branwyn's kind of place ;) )
Androp Ilkep (new guy) snorts amused, "Well, thats not alwasy a bad thing"
[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes)
[Indigo (Lisa)] But some priests are good. They do healing. We just came from a bunch of priests that had a big festival.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Over books! Really strange.
[Barnicot (Master)] priests are strange
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's true. But why do they not settle here?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Count does not allow them?
Lisa is receiving the map Crimson Inn ground floor...
Lisa has received the map Crimson Inn ground floor.
[Barnicot (Master)] there are no priests, he says witha shrug
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But mages are allowed.
[Barnicot (Master)] (Marco says goodnight)
[Barnicot (Master)] shrugs,
[TMO] (good night Marco!)
[Barnicot (Master)] I suppsed anyone can come in
[Indigo (Lisa)] This place sounds sad. Isn't there anything that is happy around here?
[Barnicot (Master)] raises his mug and takes a drink
Androp Ilkep (new guy) shakes his head and leans back in his chair
[Barnicot (Master)] he hands you a large key
[Barnicot (Master)] this locks your door
[Barnicot (Master)] the stairs are outside
[Barnicot (Master)] points to the back door
[TMO] Is people from other room already in?
[Barnicot (Master)] yes
[Barnicot (Master)] they have first room on right
[Barnicot (Master)] you can have the other three
[TMO] (will we all fit in the 3 rooms, or will some have to bunk in the common room?)
[Master] two beds per room
[Master] your choice on how to sleep
[Master] Toybin will take the floor in front of the woman's room
[TMO] (how many of us are there right now?)
[Master] one over
[Master] Indigo
[TMO] (can the halflings share a bed?)
[Master] then you have the four other characters from John plus Sarengar
[Master] looks at Indigo
[Indigo (Lisa)] (anyone not here sleeps on floor)
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (heh that works)
[TMO] (am thinking to put another with Toybin, so that no one sleeps alone)
[Master] what does Indigo want to do?
[Indigo (Lisa)] how come you tossed him in the hall?
[Indigo (Lisa)] He was the one pushing for the rooms and just because he is short he gets the short straw for beds?
[Master] chuckles
[Indigo (Lisa)] (he can sit out in hall with toybin)
[Master] I just dropped people you can all decide where each goes
[Master] are bran and shur really sleeping together?
[Indigo (Lisa)] koorin and esmerelda could probably share a bed
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] ((Androp is fine sharing a room with Ilero... will keep his leather armor on as he rests))
[TMO] (was thinking to put spellcasters in a room together, so that if we have to call reinforcements, we can hopefully let that room sleep.
[Indigo (Lisa)] I was thinking having shur be with emerelda and I would go with miranda
[Master] ok
[Master] that works with TMO's idea as well
[Master] Shurkural moved 33'06".
[Master] Koorin moved 9'09".
[Master] Esmerelda moved 12'02".
[Indigo (Lisa)] (we women folk are all spellcasters except for shur)
[TMO] (I always knew women were magical creatures..)
[Master] smiles
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] ((heh too true))
[Indigo (Lisa)] (that was a very nice way of putting it)
[Master] so I think we will pause here,
[TMO] (better than calling them witches)
[Master] next week we pick up here
[Master] just in case anything happens over night
[Master] you know
[Master] just in case
[TMO] (was there ever a doubt, Bob?)
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] ((just in case? right))
[Master] then you can explore the town or what ever
[Lisa] Or break into the room next door
[Lisa] find out who the other guest is
[Lisa] we know he isn't a tourist

[TMO] see y'all in a week

[Master] Bill sending you a new map
[new guy] new map?
[Master] for next week
[Master] grins
[Master] like that?
[Lisa] testing 1 2 3
[new guy] okay cool... looks good.
[Master] have one more to send but will take a moment or two
[new guy] hey BOB... wanted to let you know that I've started working on Androp's back story some.. but I'm kinda scared that he'll die once I get it done... just how my luck goes
[Master] chuckles
[Master] feel free to add it to the site
[Master] it is always good to have more there
[Master] adn there is the birds eye view of the castle
Lisa is receiving the map birds eye view from drawbridge...
Lisa has received the map birds eye view from drawbridge.
[new guy] well here's the thing... if we get out of this vampire assault...
[new guy] yep looks good
[new guy] I'll be a little more sincere about getting it done... but I'd really hate to do it and then have him end up a deader
[Master] fully understand
[Lisa] we can bring you back
[new guy] seriously not sure about this vampire assault
[Lisa] or the vampires can bring you back
[Master] chuckles
[new guy] Oh I'm sure they could
[Master] and mounting a frontal assault will not work
[new guy] just not as a PC
[Master] but you have some good advantages now
[Master] with the maps
[Master] etc
[Master] can take your time to investigate
[Master] you have a week and a half (of game time) to solve this and get her to the Palace
[Lisa] we don't have to kill them all
[new guy] Yea well we'll see how that goes... sad thing is I'd really hate Androp to die trying to resuce someone he doesn't really care for at all
[Lisa] LOL
[new guy] That would be kinda my luck...
[Master] you have done very well so far
[Master] everyone likes androp
[new guy] haha.. yea just setting myself up for a nice fall
[Lisa] you really only saw her for 5 minutes even if she had been nice you wouldn't really know her
[Master] and everyone likes when you assert your self and put forth ideas
[Lisa] Most definitely
[Lisa] we will get out of this
[Lisa] Bob has not set up this adventure for a complete party kill
[Lisa] have you Bob ....
[Master] I never do
[new guy] 5 minutes and she threatened to neuter Androp.. yea he doesn't really care for her even if she is a saint
[Master] I just give you a bunch of rocks and the rope attached to the stick holding them up
[new guy] Androp will have an idea or two but generally he's the silent strong type... and it helps that he is just a innkeepers kid that decided to pick up a weapon instead of a broom
[Lisa] ok - I die under that analogy since I have no idea what you are talking about
[Master] rocks fall everyone dies
[Master] is an old D&D saying
[new guy] Also wanted to let you know that I'll be here next week but the following one I'll be gone for the holidays.. heading back to NY to visit family... so I may miss a few sessions
[Master] ok
[Master] we will play the 21st
[Master] but then will miss the next two weeks
[Master] I will be in Morocco
[Master] then we will play the following week
[Master] it is all on the site
[Lisa] so you will miss the year end
[Lisa] but NY is better :)
[new guy] Okay... will check it out. Year end?
[Master] year end stats, awards, etc
[Master] bonuses
[new guy] ahh... well I can get the results from the site
[Master] if you get the chance to log in is nice
[Lisa] not in NY
[Master] even if you do not play
[Lisa] they don't have Internet there
[Master] LOL
[Lisa] Ok - I am heading out. See you all next week for more vampire fun.
[Lisa] Goodnight :)
[Master] have a great night you two
