[Guy] hi john
[john2] hello all
[Guy] oh before i forget hey bob since Lioam is a pirate does that mean i have to give my ninja fan card?
[BOB] nope
[BOB] if you were really a ninja no one would know
[BOB] so why would you give it up?
[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kaz] He's a pirate, and a ninja. He is.... PIRATENINJA!!!
[john2] isn't that PirateNinjaRanger?
[Guy] I summon my white ninja tiger zord

[Guy] could i track birds through the air?
[john2] well we have tracked invisible dragons with help
[BOB] working on the year end stats right now
[BOB] but the goal of tonight
[BOB] is to see if the three of you can move things forward
[BOB] to catch up with Finglas' timeline
[Guy] well moirra was going to wish for the controll crystal thingy to be fixed wasnt she?
[BOB] so that when we start next week we at least have an idea of when that will happen even if it does not happen tonight
[Kaz] Yes, I want to make that wish. But first, I need any remains of the crystal. John made it sound like there are still pieces.
[Guy] once she does that she can come to liam and pick up what hes found out
[Kaz] Okay, no comments? Then I'll assume I've got the remaining bits of the crystal, and go to the well.
[BOB] sorry
[BOB] too many windows up
[BOB] yes I beleive you have all the pieces
[BOB] or at least Keith has them
[BOB] and you do have enough to work what you want
[Kaz] Yay! For a second there, I thought you were going to tell me no.
[BOB] do you have a lawful good character to talk to the well?
[BOB] and who is going to make what wishes?
[Kaz] *blink*
[Kaz] That's the first I've heard that you have to be lawful good.
[john2] plan B?
[Guy] cuz if thats true how did fin wish ant back?
[BOB] you need to be lawful good to talk to the well, he will grant wishes to anyone accompanying that person
[Kaz] I never knew that.
[BOB] but will not respond until a LG person talks to him first
[Kaz] and we haven't moved forward enough in time for Rhys to have returned, have we.
[BOB] no where close
[john2] ;)
[Kaz] @(#*&@#$@(#$*& )@#( $@ )$( %$ #*(@) $&@
[BOB] what about Keith? anyone there who can?
[john2] maybe hans will pop in?
[john2] Ha!
[Guy] hans is with fin isnt he
[john2] the only hope is Kazz
[Kaz] You can't tell me that in ALLLLLL of Roadhaven and Gon, there's not one LG person who will help Moirra
[BOB] has to be a henchman/follower
[Kaz] of whom?
[BOB] someone here
[BOB] so Moirra or Keith
[BOB] Keith might have some followers around
[BOB] John has to answer that
[BOB] of course getting back to Roadhaven after going to Gon might be an issue
[BOB] just takes time to walk
[Kaz] But wouldn't we/I be able to use the pool in Gon to get to Roadhaven?
[BOB] not without the control crystal
[BOB] catch 22
[Kaz] isn't the well at the Dungeon?
[john2] you use the pool in Gon to go to the memorial dungeon
[john2] do I need to tatto that to my head?
[BOB] that is true John
[BOB] sorry
[Guy] i want to see you do that john lol
[BOB] the Well is at Roadhaven in the Spider Lady Dungeon
[Kaz] ruh roh!
[john2] But Bob, I cannot find an allignment for Kazza
[BOB] then you can pick one
[BOB] he is a dwarf
[BOB] lawful greedy sounds good
[john2] i need to know what he can be based on his religon
[Kaz] lol
[BOB] which God does he worship?
[john2] can't find that at the moment
[john2] it's the one that turns at 4 levels lower
[john2] and detects lies
[BOB] Berronar Truesilver Intermediate Goddess
[BOB] LG
[Kaz] WOOHOO!
[Kaz] :D
[BOB] ONLY LG allowed
[john2] now all you have to do is convince him to leave the memorial dungeon
[Kaz] oy vey
[Kaz] would on my knees, pleading and crying, help?
[john2] he may not know about the wishing well
[john2] did you just want to click click or roleplay this out?
[BOB] do a bit of roleplay please
[Kaz] I was gonna say
[BOB] no one has ever seen Kazza before
[Kaz] it IS a roleplaying game.
[BOB] at least not these characters
[BOB] smile
[john2] that is because he is invisible
[Khan (john2)] you need a Lawfull good person? What about Kylia?
Kaz] gathers all the remaining fragments of the crystal and wraps them carefully in clean cloth, then puts them in her belt pouch.
Moirra (Kaz)] does all that again, but this time as Moirra.
[Moirra (Kaz)] *cough*
[Khan (john2)] You should Kylia look at that cough
[Khan (john2)] oh wait, I think Kazza is LG
[Moirra (Kaz)] Khan, it appears Kylia is too busy. And I am well able to take care of this little dry throat myself, thank you.
[Khan (john2)] but of course
[Moirra (Kaz)] I don't believe I've ever met Kazza.
[Moirra (Kaz)] Where is he to be found?
[Khan (john2)] well, you know Kylia and her afection for Dwarfs, correct?
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((was that sarcasm?))
[BOB] (yes)

john2] has received the map Base Map Trade Wars.
[Khan (john2)] where was I
[Moirra (Kaz)] Being humourous about Kyulia and Dwarves.
[Khan (john2)] oh yes, please do not bring up his father or the whole clan across the way
[Moirra (Kaz)] Who's father?
[Khan (john2)] it's like bringing up dwarfs or gnome boxes up to Kylia
[Moirra (Kaz)] Ohh
[Khan (john2)] if I tell you, you promisise not to say
[Moirra (Kaz)] Of course, I promise to never say.
[Khan (john2)] Kazza is the son of the high priest, not of the king
[Moirra (Kaz)] To anyone.
Moirra (Kaz)] nods briefly.
[Khan (john2)] but of course the king is the high priest but it's a dwarf thing I never understood
[Khan (john2)] never mess with another man's family, I always say
[Khan (john2)] no matter how F er messed up it is
[Moirra (Kaz)] I'm not quite sure I understand, but family is one of those things that... well.
[Khan (john2)] let hope you are welsome at your reunion as you are
[Moirra (Kaz)] Will you come and introduce me to him?
[Khan (john2)] it would be best
[Moirra (Kaz)] If my birth family were to see me, I cannot say they would do anything better than spit on me.
Moirra (Kaz)] shrugs.
[Khan (john2)] that seems like a discuss we will have to have one day
[Moirra (Kaz)] I know who my true family is. I wish all people were as lucky.
[Khan (john2)] careful what you wish for
[Khan (john2)] (had to say it, sorry)
[Moirra (Kaz)] I did say TRUE family, not birth.
[Khan (john2)] so I guess it's off to Gon?
[Moirra (Kaz)] Thank you, yes.
[Khan (john2)] ::checks watch::
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Is this where we sing 'Off on the road to Morocco"?))
[Khan (john2)] let me make sure Paul has eaten
[Moirra (Kaz)] Please do. I can wait.
[Khan (john2)] (sorry, don't know that one, how bout we're on our way, we're on on way, on our way to Kylia's dungeon?)

Moirra (Kaz)] smiles
[Moirra (Kaz)] I am proud to be seen with you, Khan.
[Khan (john2)] ::nodds bashfully but respectful, trying not to look down too much::
[Khan (john2)] (what is the height diffrence, about 3'?)
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((lol, at least, I'm sure.
[Khan (john2)] (khan is 9' your maybe 4?, so you could stand on someone and still not be eyey to eye)
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Doh! Moirra is 3'2"))
[Khan (john2)] (just trying to get the picture
[Khan (john2)] so we boop to Gon and to Memorial Dungeon
[Moirra (Kaz)] So, what does Kazza look like?
Moirra (Kaz)] glances around curiously
[Khan (john2)] well, i hate to sound racist but he looks like a typical dwarf
Moirra (Kaz)] grins
[Moirra (Kaz)] You know, even a group of ten 'typical' dwarves all look different.
[Khan (john2)] I wait until I get up close to make sure
[BOB] lol
[Khan (john2)] Oh I know, but what is diffrent, the color of the hair
[Khan (john2)] if they have an ax or a hammer
Moirra (Kaz)] tilts her head to the side, pondering.
[Moirra (Kaz)] The way they decorate their beard, the colour of their eyes, the shape of their jaw
[Khan (john2)] maybe it because they are aways together and have the same dirt and soot look
[Moirra (Kaz)] And do you have difficulties telling one gnome from another?
[Khan (john2)] well, I've not seem many gnomes
[Moirra (Kaz)] I've never actually been around gnomes, not until we went to the Underdark.
[Khan (john2)] not cared much until present company
Moirra (Kaz)] blushes
[Khan (john2)] Ah her they are
[Moirra (Kaz)] I've never, ever seen a troll before.
[Moirra (Kaz)] Or, never had.
[Khan (john2)] so it's easy to tell me apart?
[Moirra (Kaz)] Yep! You're one of a kind.
Moirra (Kaz)] gives Khan a merry grin.
[dwarf 1] Hey Khan, you comming back to visit for a while
[Khan (dwarf 1)] actualy no, we had a small favor to ask of Kazza, is he arround
Moirra (Kaz)] smiles bashfully at the dwarf
[Khan (dwarf 1)] (bob I can't change the character's name you put up for me)
[BOB] Kazza is now on the map
[BOB] sorry did not think ahead
[dwarf 1] well, he said to tell everyone he is busy, but I think he did not want Kit taking him out on patrol again

[BOB] [dwarf butler] Kazza we have to work on the seating arrangment for the trade delegation next year
[Moirra (Kaz)] Umm, you find it hard to believe I'm pleased to meet you, or that I'm Moirra?

[Moirra (Kaz)] It doesn't matter.
[Kazza (John)] listen Morria, I like the look of ya, but I know how most people think of us dwarfs
[Kazza (John)] you look a little to clean to be a mountan gnome, you you a little more surface kind
[Mentor (Fritz)] When they even bother to think about them...
[Moirra (Kaz)] Oh! You're a dwarf? I didn't notice.
[Kazza (John)] I mean you no disrespect, just keeping it honest n all
Moirra (Kaz)] crosses her arms over her chest and looks at Kazza.
[Moirra (Kaz)] I'm not a gnome. I just look like one.
[Mentor (Fritz)] (looks at her chest)...(uhm.. her crossed arms)
[Kazza (John)] Now cause you here with Khan I'm going ignore the shadows in the back

[Kazza (John)] Da ya ever think of letting me tell you when i have ta do something (to the butler)
[Kazza (John)] I am sorry lass, is there anyone else who can vouch for you
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] We probably should get this overwith as quickly as possible Moirra
[BOB] [dwarven butler] (calmly) I amsure that when Mistress Kylia visits again you will be more than happy to talk with her abotu these issues
[Moirra (Kaz)] To vouch for me, do you mean?
[BOB] [[dwarf butler] but if you would rather go traisping around the country side instead of attending to your duties

[Khan (John)] we have not had much time together
[Mentor (Fritz)] Most people don't
[Khan (John)] at least from here is will be a quick trip
[Mentor (Fritz)] I am used to it.
Moirra (Kaz)] stands as straight as she can and tilts her chin up.
[Khan (John)] I assumed you liked it that way, to hide in the shadows if you will
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] He does, but only because he gets tired of the ridicule and scorn.
[Moirra (Kaz)] Thank you for hearing me out, at least. If you will get a message to me at Roadhaven, Kazza, I will stand by my word and do as best I can to help you however you needed.
[BOB] [dwarf butler] can you get mistress Kylia to show up at a state dinner?
Moirra (Kaz)] stops and looks at the butler.
[Kazza (John)] i will teleport my reports for Lady Kylia to you now, just so you know
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Can you get a dwarf to shave his beard because he thinks they are ugly?
[Kazza (John)] now now, this is where things get ugly
[Moirra (Kaz)] I can assure you that Lady Kylia will only show up if she wishes to.
[Kazza (John)] let us dwarfs get on with dwarf things and let the DS's do their
[Mentor (Fritz)] Wow brother was that a joke?
[Kazza (John)] ::reaches for ax then remmebres it's in his room::
[Moirra (Kaz)] I cannot 'get' her to do something she does not wish to do, as anyone who knows her should know.
[Kazza (John)] Khan, always a pleasere
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] I have been known on a rare occasion to cut a good yarn or two, I will have you know.
[Kazza (John)] hopt to see you agin me lady
[BOB] [dwarf butler] someone needs to get her to show up at a dinner once in a while
[Moirra (Kaz)] Kazza, I will make sure that Klia receives your reports
[Kazza (John)] ::walks away, draging the buttler with him::
[Mentor (Fritz)] Rare is indeed the word for it.
[Moirra (Kaz)] I will ask her, that's all I can promise
[BOB] the small group of dwarves by Kazza stands around impatient for another chance to talk to him
[Mentor (Fritz)] (Waves)...Bye Kazza. Pleasure seeing you again.

[BOB] Moirra, Mentor, Val, + ?
[Mentor (Fritz)] We are they need us to talk to it.
[BOB] Khan?
[Khan (John)] only if Morria request
[Khan (John)] i am not much of a dungeon crawler, or rather I am
[Moirra (Kaz)] Khan, if you have other duties to attend to, please do, indeed. I thank you for escorting me and introducing me to Kazza.
[Moirra (Kaz)] Of course, if you wish to come with us, you are always more than welcome.
[Khan (John)] soon, I will be able to reduce my size for more then a few rounds, then we shall walk side by side
Moirra (Kaz)] smiles
[Moirra (Kaz)] And won't people stare!
Moirra (Kaz)] laughs
Moirra (Kaz)] pats the side of Khan's leg (like you might pat a friend on the shoulder)
[Moirra (Kaz)] I look forward to it, then.
[John] i am really haning on here guys, I think you can handle it from here?
[BOB] sure John
[BOB] if you need to
[BOB] wording is the last issue for them
[John] you all have a good night, week, holiday
[BOB] see you tomorrow john
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Go on, John. Have a good night! And Merry Christmas :) ))
[John] gave my 2 cents on line
[Fritz] Night john
[John] TTFN
[Fritz] Sure you don't want to see what happens?
John] has left the game on Fri Dec 18 20:32:09 EST 2009
[BOB] he will read all about it tomorrow
[BOB] grins
[Fritz] Guy you can play mentor or Val if you wish
[Fritz] I can play the other
[Fritz (to BOB only)] just tell me when they get to the door to the cave
[BOB] nods
[Guy] i can try
[Guy] dont know much about either one though
[Fritz] Mentor is moody and has a chip on his shoulder...Val is a stiff, british type character...
[Fritz] They are half brothers
[Guy] ill try mentor since it seems hes the quiter one lol
[Fritz] LOL Go for it...He is also the one that makes the sarcastic coments. Val is the nicer and more polite one
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Mentor is more Guy-like))
[Fritz] :)
[BOB] so the teleporter in the Memorial Dungeon
[Kaz] Okay, so...
[BOB] BLINKS you to a small passageway
[BOB] you know it is in the Spider Lady Dungeon behind Roadhaven
[BOB] in the valley behind
[BOB] you know you need to go past that door, then you know that the well will speak telepathicly to one of the party members
[BOB] then that person will relay what the well says
[BOB] as you approach the door however
[Fritz] You sense you are not alone. As you approach the door to the Room Of the Well, suddenly out of the shadows slithers a huge giant black ooze. It raises itself in the air and before you eyes it transforms into the figure of a huge armored minotaur. It's shear bulk filling the doorway like a behomoth it is. Across it's back is the largest sword you have ever seen, clearly fit only for a titan!!! He shrugs his shoulders and the giant weapon slides into a much more comfortable position yet seemingly weightless to this armored creature. His voice is deep and gravely, echoing through the underground caverns.
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] Who goes there? Declare yourself and your intensions or prepare to die by the hand of the Guardian of the Well
Moirra (Kaz)] ponders
[Guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Moirra (Kaz)] Funny, no one ever mentioned a Guardian of the Well.
[Mentor (Guy)] sine when does a well need guarding
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] I am not laughing so I doubt it will be funny for much longer. Now who are you and what is your business here?
[Mentor (Guy)] hmm lets see we might be thirsty traveleres who are in need of a drink
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] I can give you your blood to help quench your thirst
[Moirra (Kaz)] A minotaur who guards the well? There was a minotaur that used to travel with the Dragonslayers, wasn't there.
[Mentor (Guy)] or maybe we are just in need of the wells ability
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] Aye...
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] There was such a person
[Mentor (Guy)] bloods toosalty to get a decent drink from
[Moirra (Kaz)] You must be... Regent.
[Moirra (Kaz)] No... no... Reign.
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] (Contemplates removing his helm and showing his teeth to the cowled person)
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] Yes Reign IS my name. I am a Paladin and guardian of the Well.
[Moirra (Kaz)] Mentor, hold your temper, if you will.
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] I was once a DragonSlayer. Now I am The Guardian.
[Moirra (Kaz)] And I am Moirra. I am a Dragonslayer, and companion to Dragonslayers.
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] REally? Do you want me to show you the skulls of the hundreds of others that have attempted to pass by me by proclaiming such? I see no DragonSlayers with you today. What proof have you?
[Moirra (Kaz)] Khan never mentioned a Guardian here.
Moirra (Kaz)] shrugs. "What proof do you require?"
[Mentor (Guy)] shall we all show our dragon slayer pins? Oh wait there arent pins so i guess we cant show them
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] (Takes off his helm and reveals his sharp teeth)...(Rubs his lips with his huge fingers and then replaces his helm)...Give me the PASSWORD and maybe I shall believe you are a DS'er. Only the DS'ers know the TRUE PASSWORD!!!
[Moirra (Kaz)] I'm just wondering, since apparently swearing fealty to my Lady, Kylia, and dying with and for Dragonslayers isn't enough.
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Seriously, is the password KISS MY ASS?))
[BOB] LOL
[Mentor (Guy)] oh look his teeth are as sharp as his wit.
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] LOL...Oh if dieing were enough then you could join the others I have killed. I too have sworn fealty to Lady Kylia and died for the DragonSlayers...Little good has that done but cursed me for eternity to live in the darkness of this prison
Moirra (Kaz)] shrugs. "Khan never mentioned a password, did he Val'Iant?"
[Mentor (Guy)] oh sorry my mistake his teeth are sharper
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Well now that you mentioned it he did walk up to the door last time and seemed to whisper something into the dark. Then the door opened. I don't know what he said though
Moirra (Kaz)] rolls her eyes.
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] Well little one or maybe you dark one. Do either of you know the PASSWORD?
[Moirra (Kaz)] Seriously, if they're going to forget to tell us something important like that, it's no wonder we're still dealing with that ass, Blue Gill.
Moirra (Kaz)] walks up to the minotaur and whispers to him.
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] Ahh so you they are still dealing with Blue Gill? I guess they haven't gotten the amulet yet
[Moirra (Kaz) (to Fritz only)] PASSWORD
[Mentor (Guy)] gee i guess not
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] Welcome Moirra and the other DragonSlayers...Becareful for what you wish for...it just might come true.
[Fritz] With that he turns to the door and says OPEN DOOR THEY ARE TRUE
[Mentor (Guy)] or maybe we are a little off plumb
[Fritz] The door forms a huge mouth and a pair of eyes..."Awe I don't get to eat them"
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((seriously, that's like making the password on your luggage 12345))
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] Not today...Maybe next time...
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] (Actually the door isn't the brightest creature and it is the only word we knew he would remember)
[Mentor (Guy)] ( great thanks hun now i have to change my pssword geesh why couldnt you keep quiet about that)
[BOB] lol
[Moirra (Kaz)] Next time I'll make sure to bathe in tasty sauces, first.
[Reign Tandem (Fritz)] With that the door splits into 2 halves, both with an eye and a set of HUGE teeth..."Come on in...I do wish I could eat you...I haven't eaten in an hour"
Moirra (Kaz)] ponders for a moment
[Moirra (Kaz)] I can think of one or two people who need to be used as door food.
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((in AND out of character))
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((although my ooc list is longer))
[BOB] (and yes Kaz and Guy, the group did meet a Door once and convinced it to move to their dungeon to help protect things, only the Dragonslayers)
[Mentor (Guy)] only one or two Im sure i could create a much larger list
[Fritz] (It is a GIANT MIMIC)
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((cool!))
Moirra (Kaz)] goes into the well room
[Fritz (to BOB only)] Val is LG
[Kaz] and this is where reality breaks in for a few minutes
[Kaz] Fritz, did you see John's wording suggestion on the site?
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] No I haven't had a chance even to read my own e-mail...
[Kaz] Okay, basically, he said to hold the remains of the crystal in my hands and wish that the crystal had never been broken.
[Kaz] I'm sure there's a loophole that some crafty DM can exploit, somewhere. There always is.
[BOB] do you know any crafty Dms ?
[Kaz] Only you, my friend.
[Fritz] May work...I was going to make mine rather simple..."I wish that when Reincarnation is cast on the remains of Rave that he be reincarnated physically, and mentally as a male pixie"
[Kaz] Yours sounds simple enough and yet also detailed enough.
[Fritz] I would agree with yours as well.
[Kaz] okay, then
[BOB] and Mike just called, sending his regrets, leak at his house
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Ugh. Poor Mike.))
[BOB] in case you did not know we have gotten hurricane force rains
[BOB] no wind but TONS of water
[BOB] over 11 inches in some spots
[Mentor (Guy)] yuck
[BOB] the past 24 hours
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((oh no, that must have really screwed up his house!))
[BOB] has been a mess
[BOB] actually is a on a wall
[BOB] so his bedroom
[BOB] but I have the tools to fix it actually
[BOB] so he will get them tomorrow
[BOB] and he passed on his congrats to Kaz
[Fritz] I was readying the site real quick. Moirra I have one other suggestion as to what we can do...Go to the Sahuaguin and get them to turn on Blue Gill or through them find out what is going on...
[BOB] ok so lets knock out the two wishes first
[BOB] then we can jump to the planning and movement parts
[BOB] please put in exactly what you want for each wish
[BOB] 'I wish that....
[BOB] and then we move from there
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] "I wish that when Reincarnation is cast on the remains of Rave that he be reincarnated physically, and mentally as a male pixie"
[BOB] ok
Moirra (Kaz)] holds the shards of the broken crystal in her hands. "I wish that the crystal I am holding had never broken."
[BOB] blue glow over the shards and a whole control crystal there
[BOB] you can use the well to test it
[BOB] grins
[Moirra (Kaz)] Well, gentlemen? Shall we give it a try?
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] After you milady
[BOB] (actually have to hold hands and be fully submerged)
[Mentor (Guy)] yeah yeah lets just go
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Time to go for a swim then...Come along brother.
Moirra (Kaz)] hops into the well, holding Val's hand
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((off to Roadhaven, we hope))
[BOB] no Gon
[BOB] it always takes you back to Gon
Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] reaches out his hand to Mentor...
[BOB] you can now use Gon's pool though to travel from there to anywhere
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Ohh, okay. ))
[BOB] it stays in teh last place it is focused
[BOB] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DimensionalPool
Mentor (Guy)] holds his little brothers hand
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] (Big brother)
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((does he check both ways, too?))
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] (Val was born first)
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] hehehehe
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] (I think you should keep the Crystal Kaz)
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] (I agree with John)
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((I think the idea of keeping it in the party pack so that we're never stuck in that situation again has a lot of merit. What if Moirra is crushed to death and the crystal ground into a fine powder?))
[BOB] someone is always carrying the party pack
[BOB] it will likely be Moirra
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] (Well we could snort it and use our snot to get back to Gon)
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((ewwwww!! lol)))
[BOB] Ok, so you are back in Gon
[BOB] then
[BOB] you moving to Roadhaven?
[BOB] or?
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] So both Mentor and Val have use their wishes...Rave still has his if he is ever reincarnated.
[Moirra (Kaz)] what time of day is it?
[BOB] late in the afternoon
[Mentor (Guy)] ((liam still has his))
[BOB] you are not quite caught up yet to the point in teh time line where the one group has arrived in Seagate
[BOB] and so not to the point where Liam has become part of the pirate crew
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((OKAY, Moirra is going to do her scrying on Ant and Liam))
[Moirra (Kaz)] waaaiiiittttt
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz) (to BOB only)] can you give the 5000 XP to Mentor instead of Rave?
[Moirra (Kaz)] Okay, the time line is quite confused, then.
[BOB (to Fritz only)] sorry is to the main character
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz) (to BOB only)] but the main was DEAD!!!! Hehehe
[Moirra (Kaz)] Because I already did the thing with Kylia, telling her about seeing Liam become part of the pirate crew
[BOB] nods
[BOB] I was back trackign a bit for you
[BOB] if you want to keep to that
[Moirra (Kaz)] oh, okay
[BOB] you will lose those weeks you sort of just clicked off randomly
[Moirra (Kaz)] I didn't realise. I'd rather be able to do stuff then just randomly click off weeks.
[BOB] nods
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Val has completed his training correct during this time?
[BOB] no
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] ok
[BOB] Val has completed his orginial training
[BOB] but not the new stuff
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Yes the 4th level stuff...I know he hasn't done the 5th level. I never even added his 4th level stuff.
[BOB] Val and Mentor are back from tehir trainign they went to a while ago
[BOB] but now can take more training actually
[BOB] but the 4th level things are done
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] I haven't even rolled his HP's and stuff yet.
[BOB] you can tidy up those bits then
[BOB] just not the Proficiencies
[BOB] or spell levels
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Yep.
[BOB] and Kaz what would you like to try next?
[BOB] the dream mage?
[BOB] Guy what do you think about that?
[BOB] slipping into some woman's sleep and telling her what to dream?
[Mentor (Guy)] MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Sounds nasty and wet to me
[Moirra (Kaz)] oh, ish.
[Moirra (Kaz)] *sigh*
[Moirra (Kaz)] Now I'll never get him to sleep.
[BOB] lol
[Moirra (Kaz)] I mean...
[Moirra (Kaz)] doh!
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] You mean wake up
[Guy] sounds like any mans fantasy
[BOB] ok, seriously how would you go about that plan?
[BOB] not saying it is not a good one
[BOB] but the actual how to is the part to work out
[Kaz] Okay, so, I'll want to go to the tower of the dream mage, and speak with her.
[Kaz] She's not ALWAYS sleeping.
[BOB] and tell her what?
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] ] Roll #1: (d10) [1d10=2] 2
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz) (to GM only)] ] Character sheet for Val'Iant Le Quella modified: Combat - Current Hit Points:: CHANGED: 47 (43). Max Hit Points:: CHANGED: 47 (43).
[Kaz] I don't know if it's important for her to have an idea of what's going on. But I can tell her that someone is trying to have a monopoly on the spice trade, which will be very bad for everyone else, and ask her if she would use her abilities to implant that knowledge in the dreams of the heads of the other spice trading syndicates.
[Kaz] Of course, I would do the research to find out who they are, first.
[BOB] ok
[BOB] that is a key bit of info
[Kaz] Also, I'd be making it very clear to her that the information should not appear to be from anyone in particular, and that no one should know that either she or I were involved in them finding out.
[BOB] ok, so I think talking among the players to figure out how you can find that out
[BOB] who the key players in the trade are
[BOB] so the characters know which direction to go in
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] We could go to Semphar...They would know who the key players are in the spice trade on land
[Guy] well liam could find out some of that if he knew what was going on
[Kaz] Semphar is doable, now

[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Yea we could get there with the pool
[BOB] so that we can make that go smoother, who would you talk to and what would you ask?
[BOB] you can guess that it will take a few days to pull that off, given what you knwo about Semphari government types
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Well the mages guild has connections to the oompa or whatever his name is...I guess we could use that connection to get to the trade dept and ask questions
[Kaz] Well, Moirra knows jack-all about Semphar, so that's Fritz's say
[BOB] Ok, so BLINK to Semphar, stay in an inn for a few days as you organize this, then ask what?
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] ((Looks to Moirra))

[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] That would work but wouldn't the govt be the ones to tell us who is really in controll? Grease a few palms...
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Will spice merchants be so quick to name their sources?))
[Guy] or merchants that sell spice as well
[BOB] Govt can tell you who is paying more in taxes
[Guy] ask about guilds that specialize in spice
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Trader's Guild, perhaps?))
[BOB] merchant guild can tell you who is trading more goods
[BOB] Adventurers guild can tell you who is hiring more guards
[Kaz] we have to do this subtly
[Guy] ask not only who but how once can sell spice
[BOB] take your time and brainstorm on this
[BOB] bat around ideas again
[BOB] it has always worked for you in the past
[Guy] pretend to be wanting to sell spices in a distant city
[BOB] remember you are actually talking about the Silk Road
[BOB] that travels from the Far East to the Western World
[Kaz] actually, we could go about getting information several ways.
[BOB] the Spice Road is part of that, but for most people they think of it as teh Silk Road overall
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Or ... Mages need spices and other things for their spells. We could say we are looking to find the best source for them...that might work
[Kaz] Pretend to want to sign on to a caravan, but of course we want the best protected (this should work in Adventurer's Guild)
Kaz] has left the game on Fri Dec 18 21:42:12 EST 2009
[Guy] kazs comp just shut off she will be back
[BOB] brb
[Fritz] I am away from the keyboard.
Kaz] has joined the game on Fri Dec 18 21:47:43 EST 2009
Kaz] is receiving the map Base Map Trade Wars...
Kaz] has received the map Base Map Trade Wars.
[Kaz] I am away from the keyboard.
[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.
[Kaz] Really sorry about that, guys
[BOB] back
[BOB] and so
[Kaz] okay, and Fritz also had a good point. A Mage or mages looking for the highest quality spices for components can find out information, too.
[Kaz] After all, who is going to balk and talking to someone willing to pay the high prices a quality good will cost?
[Kaz] *balk at talking to
[BOB] nods, not goign to make you guys detail out extremely specific lists of who, but want to knwo the direction you are heading in so I know how long it will take to find the right info
[Kaz] right
[Kaz] Well, someone claiming to be a merchant who wants to travel with a well-guarded caravan (and I would think spices are among the best guarded) can probably get information and names fromt he Adventurer's Guild. I knwo we said that already, but recapping.
[Kaz] A mage looking for top-quality goods (this will have to be Mentor, I think, and Moirra will give him coin to flash and even make a small purchase, if it will loosen tongues)
[Kaz] that should get some information from a merchant. I'm sure they'd brag about how they get the best goods from
[Kaz] We could possibly bribe some tax collector and/or tallyman to find out who in the spice trade is paying the higher taxes. Bribes are often the way to go, but... Moirra would think it too dangerous.
[Kaz] I dunno, what do you guys think about that?
[Kaz] and I'll be back in a couple minutes
[Kaz] I am away from the keyboard.
[Guy] bribes or seeing which ones may be taking thier share before the taxes get delivered
[Fritz] I am back at the keyboard.
[BOB] ok, so it looks like overall you will take a coupel of weeks to figure out the best people to talk to and then get the names
[BOB] after that you will come back to roadhaven
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Mentor or Val are both with the guild. They could start there and ask who would be the best person to go to first to get information on the best source for spices. We could then go to that Merchant and purchase a few from him and then ask him where his sources are to find out about the quality. From there go to that merchant and say something such as ... "We are looking for a good resource to get quality goods from. We were told NOT to come here ... I don't want to say whom it was that tried to lead us in a different direction, but I am sure you can guess"...pause and let caravan merchant name whom his competition is...then say "No that wasn't whom were saw, it was...no I shouldn't say but if you suggest a name I will be obliged to possibly nod my head"...give him a chance to name a couple of more people then nod at the third name. From there go to each one of those and then play the same game...
[BOB] and then you will visit the Dream Mage to have her speak to those people?
[Guy] kaz stepped away fopr a minute
[Guy] but yeah i think that was the general idea
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Maybe she could leave a token, such as a ball of spice in each of their hands so that when they awaken they will know the dream was real.
[Guy] can she do that though?
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Don't see why not...what happens in a dream happens in real life to someone as powerful as she is
[Guy] i dont know much about the dream mage
[BOB] they met her in the Orcs with Pointy ears adventure
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Well knowing a bit about how powerful alternate forms of magic can be, I would believe she could do something. But dream mages are really unknown at the University where I studied. We knew about them but they weren't one of the disciplines taught
[BOB] Guy you think Kaz will be back in a bit?
[Guy] shes on her way
[BOB] or move forward
[BOB] ok
[BOB] will wait
[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.
[Kaz] sorry, I'm back. Let me catch up.
[Kaz] okay, ready
[Kaz] I think the point is not for the dream mage to reveal who she is
[Kaz] so perhaps she could take the form of a certain tree or bush or plant that yields a spice could talk to the person in his dream
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Yes but how will the merchants know to take the dream seriously? She doesn't have to reveal who she is, just that it is real
[Kaz] perhaps give each one the same dream every night for a week
[BOB] ok
[Kaz] I don't know if she is able to leave a physical token.
[BOB] so we can go with that plan, the group can take the few weeks to work that info out of people and then get it to her to start pushing to dreams
[BOB] that will take you out to 28-3-1260
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] WE can ask her
[Kaz] true
[BOB] that is just over 3 full weeks of investigating
[Kaz] BUT
[BOB] and then talking
[Kaz] if she does leave something physical, that makes it a dream mage (to my thought). I think the same dream every night for several days makes it just as much true.
[Kaz] We're trying hard to leave as little trace of the Dragonslayers as possible.
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] ((I have had the same dream every night for a week...all it meant was I had alot on my mind, not that what was happening was real. But that is just my own personal experience.))
[Kaz] recurring dreams that are always exactly the same MEAN something. And this is in a world where people believe in omens and portents and the power of dreams.
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] (I don't see how giving a token in the real world will link the DS'ers. I agree let her be a burning bush, or something.)
[Kaz] It's not a bad idea, Fritz, I'm just saying I don't want it to be traced back to a mage giving them the dream. A physical item would be proof of mage involvement.
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] (True but they are also extremely successful merchants...That means they are practical people))
[Guy] what about a saghuan scale being left?
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Well the key here is what Bob would find convincing in his world.
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] That would work...I think that is a good compromise
[Kaz] How about the information is given by a fish with blue gills, and then they can have a cinnamon stick left, if we're going to go the physical evidence route
[Guy] now thats a good idea
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] I like it!
[Kaz] They get the information of someone horning in on their trade. They even get a clue as to who it is! And they get physical proof.
[BOB] Gala is her name by the way Oneiromancer Gala Deepdreamer
[Kaz] If they're practical enough to need proof, then they're practical enough not to mention to strangers that they had such a dream or proof.
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] I thought she was an Orneiromancer?
[Val'Iant Le Quella (Fritz)] Remember? Oooh she's so Ornei, She's so Ornei!!!!
[BOB] shakes my head
[BOB] moving on
[Kaz] /facepalm
[BOB] so the new date is 28-3-1260 tgr
[BOB] you have the info on the guild people
[BOB] and have passed it onto Gala
[BOB] Moirra has continued to watch/scry Liam et al
[Kaz] yes
[BOB] he is already part of the Pirate crew at this point
[BOB] a quick visit back to roadhaven
[BOB] discussions with Kylia
[BOB] and now you can move along to new investigative paths
[BOB] grins, see how that all works out
[Kaz] What is next to be done, guys?
[Mentor (Fritz)] Bob Mentor introduces himself to her again as a Mages Guild Member from the University in Semphar. I tell her that her talents could be a welcome addition to the guild. If she isn't interested in being a guild member maybe she would be interested in teaching some classes at the Universtiy
[BOB] she politley declines
[BOB] as dream mages are still hunted and killed in Hallstatt where she lives
[BOB] which is why she has the elves guarding her tower
[Mentor (Fritz)] Yes but she would be protected by the Guild. But if she is ever interested in teaching she is welcome to come and visit.
[Kaz] Bob, where is the messenger from the Temple? Has he left for Roadhaven, yet?
[BOB] which temple? you mean Rhys?
[Mentor (Fritz)] Anyway...I have to go for the night. Good luck with the rest. See you in a couple of weeks.
[Kaz] Well, the messenger that was with Rhys?
[Kaz] Good night Fritz! Merry Christmas.
[Mentor (Fritz)] Merry Christmas
Fritz] has left the game on Fri Dec 18 22:35:19 EST 2009
[BOB] night fritz even if I missed you
[BOB] and yes
[BOB] he is on the way
[BOB] but not at Roadhaven yet
[Kaz] okay
[BOB] is there anything else you want to do before BLIPING to Liam?
[Kaz] damn, we need to get to Liam. Guy will not be here for the next two games.
[BOB] and then BLIPING to Fin?
[BOB] in only 3 more days Liam is promoted to Second mate
[BOB] that would be a good time to go visit him
[Kaz] okay, hang on
[BOB] grins
[Kaz] Guy doesn't know what he's working on the 8th
[BOB] thought he was off on the 1st?
[Kaz] nope
[Guy] and i close on the first
[Kaz] closing
[BOB] well that stinks
[Kaz] (UGH)
[Guy] at least right now I am, they may change it on me but i wouldnt count on it
[BOB] so you can work that now if you wish
[BOB] Moirra can sneak to the pirate ship
[BOB] talk to Liam
[BOB] and then jump overboard and pool back to Gon
[Kaz] so, shall we go forward several days, then, so that he will be 2nd mate?
[BOB] is only 3 days
[Kaz] okay
[Kaz] I'm fine with that
[BOB] ok
[BOB] ready Guy?
[Guy] yup
[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((question - are Khan and Keith at Roadhaven or at Gon?))
[BOB] gon
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((okay, then every time, between every trip, Moirra is apprising Khan of what's going on. Someone else should know everything, in case something happens to Moirra))
[BOB] ok
[BOB] so in the evening
[BOB] Moiira quietly BLIPS to the forcastle of the ship
[BOB] where Liam is standing watch
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] ((and how scary is that lol))
Moirra (Kaz)] makes a very small noise, to get Liam's attention
[BOB] (ninja gnome)
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((ROFL))
Liam Dugan (Guy)] whispers "Lady Moirra i wasnt expecting this"
Moirra (Kaz)] also whispers
[Moirra (Kaz)] You did ask me to come quietly.
[Moirra (Kaz)] What news?
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] I found out that the pirates are afraid of blue gill
[Moirra (Kaz)] ALL of the pirates? Or just this group?
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] all of them but they arent really sure if she really exists
[Moirra (Kaz)] She?
Moirra (Kaz)] frowns.
[Moirra (Kaz)] If Ozymandius is Blue Gill, how can Blue Gill be a SHE?
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] and that is the one constant in all the tales ive heard blue gill is female
[Moirra (Kaz)] Very, very interesting.
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] they also speak of a white ship in the clouds
[Moirra (Kaz)] Have any of the pirates ever actually seen Blue Gill?
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] not that ive heard
[Moirra (Kaz)] what about this white ship in the clouds? What are the stories?
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] the story goes that to see the white ship come out of the clouds is to be doomed
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] ive heard of a pirate that claimed to see it and was swept overboard
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] his shipmates left him behind to try to escape the ship and was slaughtered
[Moirra (Kaz)] If you've heard of that pirate, then someone survived.
[Moirra (Kaz)] If they were all slaughtered, who carried the tale?
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] the one who was swept overboard told me this tale
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] unfortunately he didnt survive the battle that got me my spot
[Moirra (Kaz)] I see. How was the rest of the ship slaughtered?
[Moirra (Kaz)] Did he say?
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] all he said was that when he went into the water the ship was fine but then a wave pulled him under
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] and when he got back to the surface the ship was almost completeloy sunk and the white ship was gpne
[Moirra (Kaz)] Well, I'll have to think about that one back home. What else have you got?
[Moirra (Kaz)] I hope you aren't taking to the pirate life, Liam.
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] we are hitting a lot of ships carrying spice
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] some of it is fun but then i havent been forced to kill anybody either
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] I like being on a ship
[Moirra (Kaz)] I hope the day never comes when you have to face that. Just remember, I watch for you every day.
[Moirra (Kaz)] See if you can find out why they are concentrating on spices. Obviously they're worth a lot of money, but it's a huge risk, too.
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] i can try
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] they seem to be worth a lot more than you think
[Moirra (Kaz)] But don't put yourself in peril. If you can't find out casually, don't push it.
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] 1 barrel made me second mate
Moirra (Kaz)] shakes her head sadly
[Moirra (Kaz)] Someone is trying to monopolise the spice trade.
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] ill keep looking and listening for information
[Moirra (Kaz)] Thank you. Like I said, I watch over you each day.
[Moirra (Kaz)] If you need us, we'll be here.
[BOB] (grins that does sound like a threat)
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((innocent whistle))
[Moirra (Kaz)] Liam, how do I get overboard without too much splash?
[BOB] she know when your asleep she knows when your awake, she knows when you've been bad or good.....
Liam Dugan (Guy)] lowers a rope over the side
[Liam Dugan (Guy)] climb down the rop and you should be okay
Moirra (Kaz)] whispers 'thanks' and climbs down the rope as well as she can.
[BOB] dex check
[Moirra (Kaz)] ] Moirra: DEX check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 15!!
[BOB] SPLASH
[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Hey, it's not THAT bad a fail!!!))
Liam Dugan (Guy)] drops the rest of the rope overboard
[BOB] and BLIP back to Gon
Moirra (Kaz)] shows up in Gon clutching a length of rope and wearing a disgruntled expression.
[BOB] and that is the night of the 4th
[Kaz] okay
[Guy] yay
[BOB] so you have the two timelines mostly in sync now
[Kaz] awesome
[BOB] plus you are only 12 days behind Finglas
[Guy] cool
[Kaz] okay
[BOB] and 24 days behind Keith
[Kaz] Wow, okay
[BOB] then everyone will be on the same track again
[Kaz] We got a LOT done tonight!!
[BOB] still have to work out what you want to accomplish in that week and a half
[Kaz] I know
[BOB] and what the overall Players want to do to declare the story arc finished
[Kaz] how much longer until the messenger gets to Roadhaven, too?
[Guy] depends on the players
[BOB] maybe another 20+ days
[Kaz] okay
[Kaz] And how long until Rhys is done training?
[BOB] months
[Kaz] How many?
[BOB] 17-8-1260
[BOB] is 4-4-1260
[BOB] so just over 4 more months

[BOB] total of 15 weeks
[BOB] he started on 17-2-1260
[BOB] ends on 17-8-1260
[Kaz] well, for the travel home, Moirra could probably go get him.
[BOB] he is home and trainign now
[Kaz] Unless, you know, the Dragonslayers are in the middle of something crazy.
[BOB] can not believe how that would ever happen
[Kaz] I know, I can't, either. I'm sure everything will be smooth sailing when he's ready to come back to Roadhaven.
[Kaz] (where he was a child isn't his home, really, anymore.)
