Lisa has received the map Roadside 1.
[Master] hello
[Lisa] Hi :)
[Master] and with your attendance tonight you have reached 14% of the total games played now
[Lisa] lol
[Lisa] but that is a lot considering how long you have played and how short a time I have played
[Lisa] maybe a sign I need to take more nights off?
[Master] nah
[Master] hope that more people are here consitently like you are
[Master] and you have never hit 100% attendence
[Master] which a couple of others have
[Lisa] then I should vow to try harder?
[Lisa] Obama?
[Master] that is a valid way of looking at it
[Master] grins
[Lisa] downloading but grayed out
[Master] what is?
[Master] you should have the overview map
[Lisa] time POY?
[Lisa] sorry getting random
[Master] ahh
[Master] and do you really want me to tell you?
[Lisa] am downloading now
[Master] ok
[Lisa] just looks like him on cover
[Lisa] but can't tell for sure since it is grayed out
[Master] yes it is him
[Lisa] hmmm
[Lisa] okay not uproar worthy
BiBo!!! has joined the game on Fri Dec 21 18:54:46 EST 2012
BiBo!!! is receiving the map Roadside 1...
[Master] no not really significant
[Master] and hello Marco
BiBo!!! has received the map Roadside 1.
[Lisa] and video and text completely different this week
[Lisa] hi Marco :)
[Master] ahh
[Master] downloaded to see
[BiBo!!!] howdy
[Master] TMO will be in just a bit late
[Master] he has a friend who might log in tonight to test things
[Master] then be in to see our game on a regular basis next year
[BiBo!!!] I dont remember, did I ever hit 100% attendance?
[Lisa] good
[BiBo!!!] I know I got attendance award like 4 or 5 times
[Master] yes you did Marco
[Lisa] that is impressive
[BiBo!!!] yeah, you wouldnt know it by how much I am not around lately ;)
[Master] John Lorie and Marco all hit 100% of games for a year
[Master] Marco is at 53% of all games played now
[Master] we know Bill will not be in tonight
[Master] he attended 9 games this year for 1% of all games played, grins
[Lisa] only 9?
[Master] 9 as an official Dragonslayer
[Lisa] okay - seemed he's been her longer than that
[Master] September 14th was his first offical night
[Master] one sad milestone is we had 3 sessions this year with no female players
[Master] we only had 2 of them before this year
[Master] or maybe only 1
[Lisa] you have stats for every possible detail
[Master] chuckles
[Master] I stopped tracking characters per year
[Master] but we do have a list of all the story arcs per year
[BiBo!!!] In case you didnt realize this already, BOB is a little OCD
[Master] no I am not, if I was it would be CDO, because that is in order
[Lisa] just a touch
[BiBo!!!] only if your particular ocd focused on alphabetising things
[Master] chuckles
[Master] I did want to write a post about is there any difference between a hoarder and someone who has a bunch of books at home
[Master] Esmerelda XP award: 500. Next level in 12047.
[Master] Branwyn XP award: 500. Next level in 85214.
[BiBo!!!] sure there is. if there is a danger of you being burried and killed by those books, you are probably a horder
[Master] you saw where you ended up Marco?
[BiBo!!!] I what with the huh_
[BiBo!!!] ?
[Master] smile
[Master] traveling back to the Inn to return to the Castle tomorrow
[Lisa] we got turned away
[Master] on the way traveling through the haunted ghostwood forest
[Master] you heard music
[Master] and are starting to experiment
[Lisa] not of the rooms in the huge castle are vsiitor ready
[BiBo!!!] what kind of music?
[Master] that is where we left off
[Lisa] tamborines
[BiBo!!!] just tamborines?
[BiBo!!!] thats not music, thats noise
[Lisa] gypsy music - don't they play tamborines?
[Master] chuckles
[Lisa] accordians?
[Master] drums tamborines, accordians, lutes
[Master] flutes
[BiBo!!!] well, we havent been robbed by gypsies yet lately, lets go see what they are up to
[Master] John did say he is very likely to be in also
[Lisa] toybin also mentioned possibility of caverns connecting underground to castle
[Master] so TMO, Guy and John still are likely
[Lisa] carnival?
[BiBo!!!] well, bob HAS been trying to get us to join it for years...
[Master] looks like a grouping of wagons
[Master] with more parked behind
[Lisa] (big purple thing is the merry go round?)
[Master] you already encountered a carnival back at the Vilmar Estates
[BiBo!!!] I was going with cuthulu
[BiBo!!!] but merry go round is good
[Lisa] (lol)
[Master] that is to point out that this is a murky dark forest with the Mist
[Lisa] (the purple thing denotes mist?)
[Master] but there is a bright spot there where the colorful tent is rather than the more beatup wagons
[BiBo!!!] so no mist in that specific spot?
[Master] there is mist
[BiBo!!!] sunlight?
[Master] at least as far as you can tell
[Master] no sunlight
[Master] but it stands out as BRIGHT compared to everything else
[BiBo!!!] magically bright or just newer?
[Master] unable to tell from here
[BiBo!!!] the tent hasnt been through the wash as many times?
[Master] not sure from there
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (before we get to tents can I cast the detect magic?)
[Master] Time of Day: 03:06 PM. Day 1 Trall, Ze {Mid Summer} 1st, 342 SKR.
[Master] sure
[BiBo!!!] does detect magic work in the mists?
[Master] you are on a path through the woods you can see the campfires coming up
[BiBo!!!] since it is divination
[Master] nods it does work
[Master] let me refill as you consider options
[Master] brb
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[BiBo!!!] so our options are go there and not go there
[BiBo!!!] I say we go with go there
[BiBo!!!] what do you think?
Branwyn (Lisa) picks up items Indigo got from the room at the Inn and looks at the ring and the earrings
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sure - better than going into caves and looking for secret passages)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Detect Magic - Wizard: For (2*9) 18 rounds I can detect magic in a 10'x60' path in front of me.
[BiBo!!!] options are considered
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I just wanted to cast this since I actually memorized it for this purpose and it might come in handy)
[BiBo!!!] yay!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] options are gypsy camp, caves of doom or scared townsfolk)
[BiBo!!!] gypsy does sound the most cheerful. not to mention the closest. since we are at it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I like gypsies - there is always time for caves of doom)
[BiBo!!!] besides, my character is just about a gypsy
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (one on the map looks paralyzed)
[BiBo!!!] knowing bob, that could be just an error
[BiBo!!!] this is the man who will use a shark icon for a giant cat
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[BiBo!!!] I dont take anything at face value when I look at a bob map
[BiBo!!!] because he takes many liberties
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I like this map - even has bear skin rugs)
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[BiBo!!!] lthey are probably live bears
[Master] back
[BiBo!!!] bear traps
[Master] he was not paralyzed
[Master] those are bear skins, and cat skins
[BiBo!!!] see? bob error
[Master] and that was a wolf icon used for a shark one time
[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (how bout those magic items?)
[BiBo!!!] the funny thing is at the time I remember having JUST made some shark icons and giving them to you
[BiBo!!!] you probably need to get closer for your spell. it is only 60 feet
[Master] yes the earings are magical and yes the ring is magical
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (they are in my hand - but I can cast closer to gypsies if I want to read them too)
[BiBo!!!] oh, thought you were wondering about the purple tent
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's all the mage spell will tell me?)
[BiBo!!!] what about the stuff koorin stole?
[BiBo!!!] you have a % chance to know what school of magic it is
[BiBo!!!] specifically the knight's sword and the giant dagger
JohnAA has joined the game on Fri Dec 21 19:29:44 EST 2012
JohnAA is receiving the map Roadside 1...
[BiBo!!!] did those glow?
[BiBo!!!] just out of curiousity
[Master] the giant's dagger is magical, and yes the knights sword was magical also
[Master] and hello John
[BiBo!!!] good to know
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we are just full of magic tonight)
[BiBo!!!] she is a walking arsenal of magical weaponry she cant use
JohnAA has received the map Roadside 1.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hello John :)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I thought I was able to get more details than that - very disappointing)
[JohnAA] hello, only here for a bit. Need to pack for trip tomorrow
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (where to?)
[JohnAA] Orlando, Family leaves at 7 AM
[Master] are you coming here on the 24th?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (That's early)
[JohnAA] I am not aware of any plans for the 24th
[Master] ok
[Master] we shall see who shows up then
[Master] what is the percentage chance of knowing the school of magic?
[BiBo!!!] 10% per level I think?
[BiBo!!!] yep, thats it
[Master] ok roll that for the earings and ring
[Master] Dad just called and said they are coming on teh 24th
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=41] 41
[Master] so that means you must be John ;)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=21] 21
[BiBo!!!] I arrive in florida at 9 on the 24th btw
[JohnAA] wait for me
[Master] and the ring is from the school of abjuration
[BiBo!!!] ooh. maybe it is a ring of protection
[Master] most likely a protection of some sort
[Master] and the earings are from the school of summoning
[Master] and you are more than welcome over here on the 24th Marco if you want to stop by
[BiBo!!!] ooh. maybe they are earrings of genie summoning
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That could be interesting
[BiBo!!!] I will likely be barely conscious
[Master] so normal
[BiBo!!!] as I will have been up for around 30 hours before that
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not sleeping on plane?)
[BiBo!!!] I cant
[BiBo!!!] chair is too small. I barely fit in the thing, much less find a comfortable enough posture to sleep
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's too bad - being awake for that long a flight sucks)
[BiBo!!!] and god damn the fool who dare recline their seat in front of me
[BiBo!!!] eh, I am used to it
[BiBo!!!] used to go to italy every year and didnt sleep then. now flying back and forth from japan is about the same
[Master] and you should introduce Marco's new character for John's benefit
[Master] and you are all there together now
[Master] for any roleplaying of previous things also
[BiBo!!!] oh, he wasnt here. should I put on another puppet show?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (They met haven't they?)
[Master] they only barely met
[Master] John did you see the puppet show? or did you leave before that?
JohnAA has left the game on Fri Dec 21 19:42:59 EST 2012
[Master] oops
[Master] well other questions or investiatoins before you enter the camp?
[BiBo!!!] packing takes presidence

[Gypsy Male (Master)] Hello strangers
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hello!
[Indigo (Lisa)] There sure are a lot of gypsies around here.
[Indigo (Lisa)] We met some leaving the estates just yesterday when we were coming in.
[BiBo!!!] "Well, there is a circuit. You bump into them if you make the rounds."
[Indigo (Lisa)] They travel in circles?
[Gypsy Male (Master)] yes there is a circcuit but no we do not travel in circles my friend
[Gypsy Male (Master)] tellme who are you that you are wandering about in a haunted forest in the Ghostwood Domain?
[Master] Gypsy Male moved 5'06".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We heard your music and thought we would come see who was playing it.
[JohnAA] (it's still a secret right ;) )
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((to someone I am sure))
[Master (to GM only)] Gypsy #8 moved 25'02".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This is a very nice camp to be set up in a haunted forest. You are not afraid?
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I would say that only fools are not afraid of ghosts
[Gypsy Male (Master)] but those that are aware of that can take advantage of the fact that there are few fools who wish to explore haunted forests
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But you make camp here anyway
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "What about ghosts? Do you think they are afraid of ghosts?"
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I hope that many people are afraid of ghosts
[Master (to GM only)] Gypsy #7 moved 76'00".
[Master (to GM only)] Gypsy #6 moved 34'00".
[Master (to GM only)] Gypsy #5 moved 61'11".
[Indigo (Lisa)] Have you even seen a ghost?
[Master (to GM only)] Gypsy #4 moved 93'08".
[Master (to GM only)] Gypsy #3 moved 31'02".
[Master (to GM only)] Gypsy #2 moved 13'06".
[Master (to GM only)] Gypsy #1 moved 45'01".
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I have seen goats."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "They arent so scary."
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I have never seen a ghost in these woods, if that is what you are asking
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Unless you happen to have honey on your toes."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ghosssts! Not goats
[Master] Gypsy #7 moved 6'09".
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Then they are downright terrifying."
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
[Gypsy Male (Master)] you are a rather motley crew to be traveling the pathways
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I am sure you have a fine story to tell
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Many!"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Trade?"
[Master] Gypsy Male moved 1'11".
[Master] Gypsy #6 moved 4'00".
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I was thinking something along the lines of you providing names first
[Gypsy Male (Master)] then perhaps a reason for you to be traveling here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] My name is Branwyn. Do we need permission to travel here?
[Gypsy Male (Master)] for I am very glad our music caught your ears
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I am wondering what your ears are doing in the forest in the first play
[Gypsy Male (Master)] place
Gypsy Male (Master) bows
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I am Esmerelda Poppinflash! You can call me Esmerelda the Mesmerizingly Amazing for short. These are my lackies. "
[Gypsy Male (Master)] welcome Branwyn the Mysterious and Gypsy friend
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] then you may know Indigo as well
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I do not know him but many have heard of his prowness
Indigo (Lisa) waves up at man
[Gypsy Male (Master)] along with Sarengar
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Is that a short joke?"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Because he doesnt look like a prawn at all."
[Gypsy Male (Master)] so that explains why you are unafraid to come and meet us
[Gypsy Male (Master)] but still not why you are here
[Gypsy Male (Master)] but do come and have a seat around the fire
[Master] Gypsy #2 moved 10'01".
[Master] Gypsy Male moved 5'01".
[Master] Gypsy #5 moved 6'06".
[Indigo (Lisa)] Here's the people you might not know. This is Miranda and Hoffman and Brother Foto and QuiFon.
[Indigo (Lisa)] And of course Sir Toybin of Castling. He's a knight.
[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 2'10".
Indigo (Lisa) waver his hands around at his friends
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I am pleased to meet you
[Gypsy Male (Master)] well well
[Gypsy Male (Master)] a knight of the Court
[Gypsy Male (Master)] and a group of travelers to make any circus proud
[Gypsy Male (Master)] you must have some sort of highly secretive mission you are on
[Indigo (Lisa)] You don't have to be scared of QuiFon. He won't eat you.
[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 16'03".
Gypsy Male (Master) looks at Qui
[Indigo (Lisa)] Everyone is always scared he'll eat them or some such nonsense.
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I do not believe he likes raw meat
[Gypsy Male (Master)] he looks a bit well fed if you ask me
[Master] Indigo moved 17'01".
[Master] Branwyn moved 11'03".
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I am curious about your secret mission master Indigo
[Gypsy Male (Master)] with a troupe like this
[Gypsy Male (Master)] you are obviously hiding something
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Branwyn
[Gypsy Male (Master)] chasing the theft of the crown jewels?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno. Doesn't seem too much like a secret any more.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] oooh... crown jewels? someone stole them?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We're actually interested in a certain guest of the Count.
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I can only imagine what would bring you this far into The Mist
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I am not aware that the Count has had any notable visitors of late
[Gypsy Male (Master)] but I would not be privy to his calendar of course
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh, you mist the gang sweeping a young lady into the castle. That is too bad.
Gypsy Male (Master) raises an eyebrow
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And it is our delaying our visit with the Count until tomorrow.
[Gypsy Male (Master)] is that why you are here?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] To see about his latest houseguest? Yes.
[Gypsy Male (Master)] did you want to see Wisewoman Sunflower and ask her some questions about this person you think is there?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would like to very much if you think it would help. The Mist is so strong here though.
[Gypsy Male (Master)] warm chuckles
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I do not think that she is bothered by that at all
[Master (to GM only)] Old Gypsy Woman moved 17'00".
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Esmerelda modified: Notes - CHANGED.
[Master] Gypsy Male moved 2'07".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Really! Her powers must be quite strong.
[Gypsy Male (Master)] gestures at the girl
[Gypsy Male (Master)] FLower
[Gypsy Male (Master)] go tell the Wiswoman that she has a petitioner
[Master] girl #2 moved 3'10".
[Master] girl #2 moved 43'04".
[Indigo (Lisa)] That must be what the purple tent is for! The wisewoman.
[Gypsy Male (Master)] looks at Branwy, do you have an appropriate gift for her?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Something purple?"
[Master] (John you ok there?)
[JohnAA] (watching, bit distracted)
[Master] OK
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry - was looking through our stuff)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (carnelian gem - would be okay?)
[JohnAA] I am back at the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she better tell us good stuff though)
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] What does she like?
[Gypsy Male (Master)] our Wisewoman like things from outside the domain, it has been several years she has not traveled out
[Master] girl #2 moved 51'01".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we could give her the skin of blue dye so she can make something pretty with it)
[girl #2 (Master)] Wisewoman Sunflower said she would meet with the strangers
[girl #2 (Master)] but only for a few minutes
[girl #2 (Master)] she wanted to know why you stopped playing
Gypsy Male (Master) gives her a swat on the butt, then get back to playing !
[Master] girl #2 moved 22'07".
girl #2 (Master) jumps then laughs and dances over to the other two
[Master] the two girls start a lively tune on drums accompanied by the man with a lute
[Master] Gypsy #5 moved 19'05".
[Gypsy #5 (Master)] Who are they?
[Gypsy Male (Master)] Calip
[Gypsy Male (Master)] we have visitors for Wisewoman Sunflower
[Calip (Master)] very well
[Calip (Master)] I will stay here while you escort the questioner to her
Gypsy Male (Master) gives a slighly mocking bow
[Gypsy Male (Master)] with a flourish,
[Gypsy Male (Master)] Branwyn the Mysteroius
[Gypsy Male (Master)] do you wish to have any accompany you?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] no thank you, I will stay right here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Esmerelda would you like to come?
[Master] Branwyn moved 30'09".
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the others
[Master] Brother Fotopoulos moved 12'11".
[Master] Esmerelda moved 39'06".
[Master] Hoffman moved 13'02".
[Master] Miranda moved 7'11".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (john - wanting to come into the tent?)
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] probably best to stay behind
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] I do not want to be what she wants to keep
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::nods:: "YEah! Lets see what this wiselady can do!"
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs "She will not want to keep you! I thought you might be interested in seeing her work"
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] Don't say I didn't warn you
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] ::follows::
[Master] QuiFon Ruminel moved 43'04".
[Master] QuiFon Ruminel, Branwyn, Esmerelda and Gypsy Male moved 33'08".

[Gypsy Male (Master)] Your guests, wisewoman
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] (in a creaky voice) welcome
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] coughs
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] welcome to our domain
[Master] Branwyn moved 4'00".
[Master] QuiFon Ruminel moved 6'04".
[Master] Gypsy Male moved 9'02".
[Master] Esmerelda moved 8'03".
Branwyn (Lisa) bows "It is an honour that you would see us. Thank you wisewoman sunflower"
Gypsy Male (Master) pours some water into a bowl, steaming
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] ::bows::
[Gypsy Male (Master)] I will go fetch more for you
[Master] Gypsy Male moved 12'07".
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] ina much stronger voice
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] Welcome Branwyn the Mysterious
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::looks about with big eyes, trying to get everything in at once::
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] I am pleased to make your aquaintance
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] you are most welcome here
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] I must say though that I was surprised when I was told you were visiting
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] what brings you to this corner of the great swamps
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We are looking for someone who is here.
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] a rather dreary place to be
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] I can say that for I have been here quite a while
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] coughs
[Master] Gypsy Male moved 12'07".
[Gypsy Male (Master)] more water
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] (creaky voice again)
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] thank you
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] you can go tend to our other guests now
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is with the Count somewhere and we must retrieve her.
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] I am surprized to be here, but this is where I am ment to be
Gypsy Male (Master) bows
[Branwyn (Lisa)] How long have you been here?
[Master] Gypsy Male moved 12'04".
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] in a confident voice, a she who is with the Count?
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] smiles, I have had my tent here for the past twelve years
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You dont move?"
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] I know of no women that the Count has as a guest
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] smiles at Esmerelda
[Old Gypsy Woman (Master)] an oxymoron perhaps? a gypsy stuck in one place?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "More like suspicious."
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] that is good
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Its like breaking the laws of nature!"
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] wheezes, but a poor sick old lady could not be expected to travel now could she
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Do the others stay here too?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] confidently to Branwyn why do you think the Count has a female visitor
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] and I take it you think she is not here willingly?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "And if you dont move, why do you use tents instead of something more permanent?"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "It must be a pain reparing it all the time."
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] Looks fine to me
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] have you ever heard of a gypsy caravan of houses?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] no, but I have never heard of a caravan of gypsies that dont move around either"
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (John has but beyond that..... )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No she is not here willingly. She was taken forcibly by his people and brought here.
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] (you do not want to run into a caravan of houses)
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (that was before Marco I think)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((the mimics?))
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (house sized mimics yes)
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] (House Size)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((yeah, before me))
Guy has joined the game on Fri Dec 21 20:39:47 EST 2012
Guy is receiving the map Gypsy camp...
[Master] Sarengar moved 1'11".
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] WOW
Guy has received the map Gypsy camp.
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] Hello Guy
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hi Guy! :) )
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] hello
[Guy] howdy all
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I will be willing to try to find out something for you, but I need to know what it is you are looking for
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] and Break there for just a moment
[Master] now that we have you four here
[Master] in case TMO does not show up soon
[Master] I wanted to give you the year end celebration part
[Master] the four of you plus TMO and Bill
[Master] made up a huge chunk of the game this year
[Master] normally we have one or two odd ball visits, etc
[Master] but this year was nice to have so many people so consistent
[Master] grins
[Master] even though not one person was 100%
[Master] Bill was here 19% of the entire year much higher for the second half he was offical
[Master] and overall we did some fun things I think

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] thats all you need to know
[JohnAA] the world is about to restart
[Master] oh and of course if anyone knows anyone who is interested in teh game please invite them
[Master] ok
[Master] I think he needs slightly more
[Guy] wound up with pink eye and have been dealing with that and the stupid eye drops that i have to use
[Master] you know who Esmerelda is?
[Guy] marcos new character is all i know
[Master] awww you missed the puppet show
[Guy] puppet show?
[Master] brb door
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] Yes, there was a puppet show
[Guy] oh i do remember branwyn telling saregar that hes a father
[Guy] or was it indigo
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] Esmerelda is a performer. Gnomish illusionist who was travelling with performers as a special effects artist.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] they are dead, so she explained it all with an illusionary puppet show
[Guy] interesting
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] her illusions are realistic enough to fool beings that are normally immune to illusion
[JohnAA] cool
[JohnAA] i got a kid on my lap
[JohnAA] so I take it as a sign
[Guy] how do you manage that?
[JohnAA] you all have a good time, tonight, next week and next year
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Merry Christmas!
[Guy] merry christmas and happy new year john
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Happy New Year
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[JohnAA] You all do the same
[Master] see you on the 24th John
[Master] and again here in three weeks
JohnAA has left the game on Fri Dec 21 21:10:44 EST 2012
[Master] QuiFon Ruminel moved 15'01".
[Master] Branwyn moved 1'11".
[Master] QuiFon Ruminel moved 44'00".
[Master] so Guy you all caught up now?
[Guy] marco how can you affect stuff thats normally immune to illusions?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] I am super specialized in illusion
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] so I get fewer schools than a normal illusionist, but my illusions are really good
[Guy] nice
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] in fact, I only get access to 3 out of the 8 schools
[Guy] wow major limited
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] yeah
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] I am actually specialized in a specific type of illusion
[Guy] and we are back with our gypsies again?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] different gypsies
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] this country seems to have a population consisting solely of gypsies and vampires
[Guy] so how did they know sarengar was a father?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] gypsies talk
[Guy] not sure if thats going to be good or bad
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's good! she wanted the kid)
[Guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((i guess im as ready as i ever am lol))
[Master] ok
[Master] so you were answering her question
[Master] she said "I need to know what you are looking for"
[BiBo!!!] I am away from the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Who rather.
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs, "It is pointless trying to keep this a secret and get anything accomplished."
[Sarengar (Guy) (to Master only)] so where is sarengar? lol
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) (to Guy only)] in the tent with them
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We are looking for Wilamina Mosskin. We must get her out of Ghotwood and to Court prior to the Naming Ceremony.
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] Branwyn the Mysterious Gypsy friend
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] your secrets are safe with me
Sarengar (Guy) chuckles
[Sarengar (Guy)] you are stuck with mysterious Branwyn
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] you want me to see if I can tell if she is there in the Castle for you?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Please
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes will never get rid of it now)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and we still don't know if you are a weregator or is that settled?)
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] do you think she is in danger?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (coorect still do not know)
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((((no because somebody sucks and wont tell me lol))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes I do. I fear with every minute passing that she will be changed when we find her again.
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] one more question before I start searching for answers
Sarengar (Guy) smiles at the thought of being a father
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] why are you looking for her? why would she be here?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Because she was taken by force from the Vilmar Citadel. When the people there tried to stop them, they got a piece of a cloak with the Count's ensignia on it.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We gave chase and know that she has to be here somewhere.
[Sarengar (Guy)] umm Bran i just had a ad thought
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have heard that the Count spends much time in the forest.
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((bad not ad))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] \So he must be a friend of yours, but he has done this thing.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes?
[Sarengar (Guy)] what if we are being led in the wrong direction?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then many people will die.
[Sarengar (Guy)] what if the count is being made to look like the villian
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Toybin and Miranda saw the coach fly in here past all the guards. You saw how much trouble we had getting in.
[Sarengar (Guy)] yes but what if she wasnt in the coach?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But that is why we are here. So Wisewoman Sunflower can confirm that she is here.
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I can answer a couple of your questions easily enough
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If she is not here than I have failed and you might as well kill me now for we do not get Lord Mosskin's daughter to the Naming Ceremony in tact in one week,there will be hell to pay.
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] The Count does not come through the forest often but he does on occasion
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (actually 13 more days but close enough)
[Sarengar (Guy)] ig shes not here then maybe we need to look at who has the most to gain by her not being at the ceremony
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you had doubts when Shurkural was tracking them through the swamps, then would have been a much better time to bring up your concerns.
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I would not consider him friendly at all
[Sarengar (Guy)] i just thought of it unfortunately
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] He rules his lands with a strong hand
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] You speak of someone turning her
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((the sad thing is i did just think of that))
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] IF she is being held here
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((when something else dawned on me
[Branwyn (Lisa)] There is that possibility is there not?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (what other thing did you think of Guy)
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((that somebody has beenreading a little bit too much of the ravenloft campaign))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not me)
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (well I do have some parts that I have used with no one even noticing)
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I will try to find out if your young lady is there in the Castle
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I cannot help you get into the Castle mind you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] that will be up to you and your knight
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] the Count is a stickler for protocol
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] and for following the letter of the law
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have gathered that much.
[Sarengar (Guy)] if shes in there then the count need to beware because not even hell itself will keep us from getting Lady Mosskin out of there alive and unharmed
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] why do you think he would harm her?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "She your lover?"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::peers at Sarengar::
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (you are sooo glad Toybin is not there to react to that one!)
[Sarengar (Guy)] no Ive only had 1 lover but a promise was made and that promise will be kept
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((no I am not. I like ruffling his feathers))
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((it was more fun as foriso because foriso absolutely HATED toybin))
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You sure? because fighting off the forces of hell sounds like lover's words to me."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He will not kill her. I am just afraid she will be changed.
[Sarengar (Guy)] its the artist in me i fear
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Sarengar and laughs
[Branwyn (Lisa)] One?
Sarengar (Guy) nods at Branwyn
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You can read?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you say so
[Sarengar (Guy)] contrary to the stories that some tell there has only been one
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "This Mosskin lady."
Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) looks at Sarengar intently
[Branwyn (Lisa)] There was that girl you were going to marry at the theatre who kept throwing herself all over you. That's the one?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] you are no knight or priest to be chaste
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But we are getting off course.
[Sarengar (Guy)] no Branwyn you know of my only lover
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] do you pine for your lover Sarengar?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] is that why she is the only one?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Might be that he looks like he has been beaten across the face a few times..."
[Sarengar (Guy)] Its not that Im pining I just havent found another yet
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] you understand she is unavailable to you
Sarengar (Guy) smiles
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Yeah, dont worry. Plenty of ladies out there love homely lads."
[Sarengar (Guy)] I know and I wish her the best
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] for your past deeds and assistence for the People
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I will do what I can for you here
Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) lays out a velvet cloth over the table
Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) pulls out a deck of cards and shuffles through them
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Oooh. Are we playing poker?"
Sarengar (Guy) sits quietly
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "8 card bliffle? The Bat's Ankle?"
[Sarengar (Guy)] shhh
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Shhh? Dont know that one..."
Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) turns over a card
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] The Tower
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (bad card)
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] Then turns over the Queen of Cups
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] then turns over Death
Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) looking up at the three of you
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] Nothing in small doses with you is there?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Rarely
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Ooooh. So we are going to find a dead queen in the tower?"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Well, the castle."
[Sarengar (Guy)] why settle for the small things when we can go for the bigger ones
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I would intrepret these as yes your lady you look for is in the Castle and there is potential for great change
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I am sure thats what she said..."
[Sarengar (Guy)] not good
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] but a deeper meaning might be that the existing order is about to be overthrown by this lady and a new world will be born
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You can't possibly tell WHERE in the castle she might be
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] smiles, no that is beyond even my skill
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "That is a pretty powerful lady."
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] but I do feel confident that you will fidn her there
[Sarengar (Guy)] if shes changed then thats exactly what will happen and the new world will not be a good one
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] turns over one more card
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] Justice
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] quirks an eyebrow at you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Us hopefully?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] while that might apply to you saving her it might also be a who
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] the sword leads me to believe a male as part of this new change?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] There would be a male involved.
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] what you fear might actually be true rather than only a dream
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Please dont tell me its Sir Grumples."
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] Count Vladamir Drake
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] he will be hosting a celebration tonight at the Castle
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Tonight?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "A party?!"
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] many of the townsfolk will be attending
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "What will I wear?"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Who am I kidding, I always look fabulous."
Sarengar (Guy) chuckles
Branwyn (Lisa) sharply "He would not allow us in tonight!"
[Sarengar (Guy)] he may not have a choice in the matter
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What is he celebrating?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Well, he did say that he wouldnt let us stay tonight I thought. Having a party planned would be a reason."
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] it is the first of the month,
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] it is tradition for him to host a celebration
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] it happens to also be the full moon
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] suvived another month
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] as always
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (it is always a full moon the first day of a new month)
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Calendars
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And are you going to this celebration?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I am not from the town, I am not invited
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] my people will stay here and celebrate
[Sarengar (Guy)] this is going to be one party he wont ever forget
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sir Toybin thought there might be a way into the castle through the caverns. Do you think this is possible?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I suppose that is possible but I have not heard of such a way
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] the caverns have been haunted for many years
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] some say it is the remains of former servants of the Count
[Sarengar (Guy)] how long til dark?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] a handful of hours
[Sarengar (Guy)] Branwyn I cant stay near the rest of you tonight
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But we will need you to help us in the castle!
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] is there a problem Sarengar?
[Sarengar (Guy)] possibly
[Sarengar (Guy)] I was in a fight with a were and was possibly tainted
Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) stands up and walks over to Sarengar
Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) pulls up on his eyelid
[Sarengar (Guy)] trust me Bran I will help but I oww
Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) tugs on his fingers spreading them
Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) POKES him in the stomach
[Sarengar (Guy)] ooof
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] if you are a were I have never see one like you before
Sarengar (Guy) rubs his stomach "warn me before you do that again"
[Sarengar (Guy)] the one we fought turned into an alligator
Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) looks at you speculatively
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] where was this?
[Sarengar (Guy)] in the sewers
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] pssssshhhhh
Wisewoman Sunflower (Master) waves her hand
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((oh man i cant remember the town))
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] then do not get wet in the moonlight
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] why are you worried?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "He has to get wet to change?"
[Sarengar (Guy)] im not worried for myself
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (vilmar citadel, vilmar estates)
[Sarengar (Guy)] I dont want to hurt my friends
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] how often do you go swimming with your friends?
Sarengar (Guy) thinks for a moment
[Sarengar (Guy)] I wonder if there is a water entrance to the castle
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] laughs
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] have you not seen the castle?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (sendign the map to you Guy)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no moat - we asked)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's on a big rock)
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((silks))
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((sulks too))
Guy is receiving the map Gypsy camp...
Guy has received the map Gypsy camp.
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] You say you were invited to the Castle tomorrow?
[Sarengar (Guy)] tomorrow may be too late
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] there is only the one path to and from the Castle
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] you could watch to be sure your lady does not come out
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] but I do not think she would with all of the villagers about
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think he would let her
[Branwyn (Lisa)] How many sons does the Count have?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] he does not have any sons
[Branwyn (Lisa)] How old is the Count?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I do not know
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] his mother Lisba ruled with his father Vlad
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (400 years ago)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And the Count has no wife, correct?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] his wife passed away many years ago
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So the Count has no one who is eligible to be a Consort.
[Sarengar (Guy)] he might be looking for another wife
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (just under 200 years for your guess Lisa, but you might want to be clear for the rest of them)
[Sarengar (Guy)] a wife who is quite possibly going to be the next queen
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I have not heard of the Count being interested in women for that sort of thing
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I would imagine that men crave power for many reasons in many forms
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do the townspeople carry invitations to the castle or does The Count just let them all in?
[Sarengar (Guy)] the only power I want is the power to perform the 1 opera that im not allowed to
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] the guards would recognize who lives here, the town of Blackraven is rather small
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] which opera would that be Sarengar?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] and why are you not allowed ?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "His face might scare the children?"
[Sarengar (Guy)] people think its cursed
[Sarengar (Guy)] Opera Kholtar
[Sarengar (Guy)] my dear Esmerelda Im quite popular as an opera singer in my home
[Sarengar (Guy)] in fact Im more popular as a singer than as a ranger
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (Opera Khôltar with the accent grins)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I would never guess it to look at you. I mean I am not saying you are ugly or anything but if I had to rate your looks from a scale of 3 to 18, I would give you a 7."
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((i cant do the accents on my comp))
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] (CTRL C CTRL V)
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I should have you sing with my nephews Master Sarengar
Sarengar (Guy) smiles "I would be honored to"
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I have not seen any opera
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] but your city does not welcome us
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I would recommend that you watch the path closely tonight
[Sarengar (Guy)] my city has a blind spot when it comes to the Gypsies
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] if this is a young lady you think that the Count is interested in
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] they would cross at the Brides Bridge
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] it is rarely used these days
[Master] Time of Day: 03:42 PM. Day 1 Trall, Ze {Mid Summer} 1st, 342 SKR.
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] and I would follow through on your inviation for tomorrow
[Sarengar (Guy)] we will have to find o9ut how carefully the brides bridge is guarded
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I suspect there are no guards
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] it is where in the old days young women crossed to come to the castle
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] as it lies almost directly below
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] but to reach blackraven it is easier and faster to use the red bridge
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Is it called the Red bridge because it's red? Please say yes."
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] if you wish to leave the Domain to the north or south
[Sarengar (Guy)] as red as blood
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] smiles at Esmerelda
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] you travel over the red bridge and then to the crossroads
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] if you go to the north to the kings road and north into the swamps
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] or south through the village and then to the kings road and the royal estates
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If the Count has Wilamina locked up in the Castle and is having a celebration there tonight, why would anybody be crossing bridges?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] if you think that he will be trying to sneak her out with the villagers
[Sarengar (Guy)] trying to second guess a vampire is like playing chess blindfolded
[Master] can you think of any other questions for her?
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((i cant ))
[Master] you have all the pieces now I think?
[Master] Marco Guy did you understand Lisa earlier with the 200 year mark?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I don't have any)
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((nope but thats not unusual lol))
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((same here))
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.GhostwoodDomain
[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she said the Count's mother ruled Drillian - well that was 200 years ago)
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((interesting))
[Master] so your homework assignment is to look at the maps you have
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((is that strange considering we are working on the strong theory that they are vampires?))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I have to go back and re-read old chat logs from beginning of this adventure)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no - just confirms)
[Master] strange how Marco?
Sarengar (Guy) heads out to find the wisewomans nephews singing as he goes
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((it isnt strange, I mean, you are questioning it like it should be))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I got the Vilmar motive - his son marries wilamina - get consort automatically)
[Sarengar (Guy)] Sarengar: Singing check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 7!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Master] so nothign specatular while you sing
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but not sure what Count Vlad gets out of turning her other than chaos)
[Master] just a good guy
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((Apparently they havent invented autotuning yet))
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((You know, if I was a vampire, i would hatch all sorts of elaborate plans for people to foil and solve with no reason whatsoever))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sure imortality get boring)
[Master] or you wait for her to be queen then get her to marry you
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((I would leave clues and witnesses and conspiracies and in the end it would al be because I had some free time))
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((that would be th fun thing to do if you were a vamp))
[Master] for your homework you can go over the map of the castle
[Master] discuss on the boards potential plans
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's too big)
[Master] for tonights festival if you want to try to sneak in
[Lisa] We need to kidnap a bunch of townspeople
[Master] and or go in officially tomorrow morning
[Master] or you can kidnap the village sure
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((we should totally do that))
[Lisa] Esmerelda can illusion us to look like them?
[Lisa] we sneak in looking like townfolk
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((kidnap an entire village. Move them to some other country and set them up with a new town. leave cryptic messages in the old one))
[Master] lol
[Master] I can run that as a story arc next time
[Lisa] no - we just need to kidnap about a dozen people
[Master] and there is the idea of just going in as invited guests
[Master] staying in the castle and sneaking around that way
[Lisa] but we were specifically not invited
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((Esmerelda could illusion us to look different, but I wouldnt rely on it lasting for an entire party. She can maintain it for as long as she concentrates, provided you all stay together in the same area. At a party I am sure her concentration will eventually break))
[Lisa] he gave us money to not show up until tomorrow
[Master] right
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((then you would have 2d6 rounds before it went away))
[Master] spend the night doing soemthing else, somewhere else
[Master] then come back tomorrow
[Master] as guests
[Lisa] that would not be good
[Lisa] yeah Bob come back tomorrow when it's too late
[Master] chuckles
[Lisa] we can see if the underground thing works and meet the ghosts
[Lisa] if they are the Count's servants they might have some good info
[Lisa] they probably didn't like him and would like to help us
[Lisa] friendly ghosts
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] yep, will totally find casper
[Lisa] we could
[Master] it is something to look into
[Master] or the village
[Master] and those that are not invited to the party
[Master] or anything else that you can come up with
[Lisa] we are getting closer to big vampire showdown
[Guy] we dont play till the 4th or the 11th?
[Lisa] tis a good thing
[Lisa] 11th
[Master] we play on the 11th
[Master] so lots of time to come up with ideas
[Guy] yup
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] exactly the time I am in florida :-P
[Lisa] so I give Sunflower the blue dye and the carnelian - is okay?
[Master] I will suggest that you all get a full nights sleep and time to memorize spells before going in
[Master] and yes she thanks you for that
[Guy] ok im off im tired os smelling mcdonalds
[Master] is very kind of you
[Lisa] I will try to update party pack over the break
[Master] have a great holiday everyone
[Master] please do post
