[Master] Hey there

[Master] you are supposed to be in Miami

[JohnA] We were suposed to not be sick

[Master] or are you logging in from the game,

[Master] ahhh

[JohnA] betwen the 4 of us we are about 300%

[Master] that is not such a good thing

[JohnA] i did not miss work, kids and Laursa took some time off

[JohnA] no one calling off xmas yet

[Master] that is good

[Master] everyone is coming here Sunday morning

[Master] people can stay for the game if they wish

[Master] but I gather no one is

[Master] which is just as well

[JohnA] i am well aware, and yea, probally not

[JohnA] more cause the dolphins than you

[Master] hah

[Master] Carissa will be in, Lisa should be

[Master] have not heard from Mario yet

[Master] have you given any thought about Qui

[JohnA] i was planning on posting more until I found I I was not going than I wantted to post more but rather do it live

[Master] and what everything will entail

[Master] and that is a very good thing

[JohnA] unless things changes, I think he is gonna keep trainning

[Master] his training is finished

[Master] and the last he had heard the group was in Dryads Lair

[JohnA] i think he has more to train for, just not that slot

[Master] so he would head that way

[JohnA] I think he has some theif skills to train

[Master] ok

[Master] that could be with the group, Ilero etc.

[Master] but you are heading through Domvile on the way back to Dryads Lair

[JohnA] i know but he does not know that and somehow I think he can find a teacher

[Master] so you could use that as a way to get a message to him for where to find you

[JohnA] i feel we still have some time before we get home

[Master] to Dryads Lair? a day or three

[JohnA] were they stations out of Domvile? I thought that was the other clan?

[Master] with the river means faster than against

[Master] no there is the treaty you worked on in Bag of Clouds

[Master] in Dryads Lair airships get shot down on sight

[JohnA] are you saying he could be dropped off?

[Master] yes

[JohnA] oh

[Master] if he wanted to return to the group he could get dropped off outside of the city and make his way back into the city

[Master] or if you want to get him a message instead

[Master] then through Domvile is the only currentl;y known way

[JohnA] so i got to decide, tks

[JohnA] that might tie in nice to my plans for tonight

[JohnA] yea the cold weather killed us

[JohnA] ;)

[Master] it is a mess

[Master] Carissa will be in

[Lisa] just winter colds?

[Master] have you looked at all the updates they did ?

[JohnA] i would say lite flu, no vomit (TMI?)

[Lisa] yes - incredible

[Lisa] to updates - not flu

[JohnA] smiles

[Lisa] updates were wonderful

[Master] and I get the feeling that TMO still has not adjusted to the length of our campaign

[Master] grins

[Lisa] no vomitting is also good

[Master] OH if there is no vomitting then it is not the flu John

[Master] there is something bacterial going around

[Master] 4 people at work are out with it

[JohnA] cold gives fever?

[Lisa] as long as there is fever

[Master] when Autumn went to the Dr they said they saw 8 people that day along

[Master] alone

[JohnA] flu like, not lite

[JohnA] HEY!

[JohnA] hello Carissa

[Carissa-17360] Hello!

[TMO] no, TMO still has not adjusted to the length of this campaign. I was pretty sure it was not that long ago that we first came to Dryads Lair. When did all the other stuff take place if all of my time here has been in diplomacy?

[Master] grins

[Lisa] Hello everyone! :)

[TMO] after all, Marisu joined before we came to DL, and she's still new.

[JohnA] that's ok, Bob can't remember what he gave me for all the years I have played in his game

[Carissa-17360] test

[Master] LOL at John

[Master] Carissa got hers this week

[Carissa-17360] (setting preferences, ignore me a momoment)

[JohnA] sorry , how do I do that?

[Master] everyone else gets theirs in the next few days

[JohnA] how would you know

[TMO] speaking of which, there was a suspiciously light box on my doorstep when I got home tonight. I think someone is sending me weaponized anthrax.

[Lisa] she was busy being a captive and getting her head shaved?

[Master] excellent that is a day early!

[TMO] that is a suprise. I'm not enthralled with the local post office. ;)

[Lisa] do I need to look?

[Master] chuckles you did not get yours already Lisa?

[JohnA] i get to keep a battery hostage until I get mine

[Lisa] have been doing trip recuperating and haven't been outside since this morning

[TMO] I went ahead and opened mine, but will not spoil any surprises.

[Master] umm, it should have been a day or two ago

[TMO] Thanks Bob!

[Master] grins, glad to

[Lisa] I did get a little brown envelope but haven't looked at it

[Carissa] (last test)

[Master] you should look in that

[Master] Lisa

[JohnA] what was suposed to happen?

[Master] and you should have another box

[Lisa] It was with the mail and I don;t like mail

[Master] and another one coming

[TMO] all femails should like mails

[Carissa] (just changing name and text for me, on laptop tonight)

[Carissa] Or you might get an envelope in a box in an envelope in a box

[Master] there is that too

[Master] officially everyone should have gotten an ornament

[Master] and an invite to the 25th Anniversary Game in an enveleope

[Carissa] Hmm I don't remember that...

[Master] plus I think everyone now finally got their chopsticks

[Master] and a bookmark

[Master] and a dragon tooth

[Carissa] They didn't chop well

[TMO] yes to all of the above

[Master] and Lisa and Carissa got something extra

[Master] and John is missing his dragon tooth because he returned after I had ordered them

[JohnA] oops

[Master] it is funny for the first time in years I have nothing in my box to give out

[Master] the last of every ornament

[Lisa] no my small envelope was from someone else

[Master] boooo

[Carissa] sad

[Lisa] I got a box right before san diego but I thought it was what was in the envelope so I put it aside and ran out the door

[JohnA] blame the bird

[Lisa] Need to go look at box?

[Master] ahh then yes that box

[Lisa] ok brb :)

[Master] 245212

[Master] doh

[JohnA] is that some sort of code

[Master] yes to Lisa, it was delivered on Sunday

[Master] yes to John is a 2FA for a site

[TMO] in the card Bob thanked me for bringing up crazy ideas. I'm not sure what he's talking about. I'm pretty sure my ideas are all perfectly sane and normal, right?

[Master] so it will not work now

[JohnA] i think so

[Master] TMO always makes life fun

[JohnA] TMO

[Carissa] Definitely sane and normal.

Carissa cough

[JohnA] for where your character is from

[Carissa] I dunno. Stirge puppets?

mharm-15549 has received the map basic knarr.

[Carissa] That's fair. I guess?

[mharm-15549] hey guys, sorry late, please give me a moment to get situated

[mharm-15549] brb

[Carissa] Also fair warning to alll, I've only had about 2 hrs of sleep. Please ignore stupid comments by me. Thanks.

[Lisa] don't think this is it either

[Lisa] from amazon and is big green package

[Master] From Amazon Lisa?

[Master] that is one of the two for you

[Master] and I refuse to believe that tonight is when Carissa starts with the stupid comments

[Carissa] Oh good. Starts with. Means I've been good previously.

[JohnA] still not sure how to show that I am ignoring you

[Master] or you did not start tonight

[Carissa] Ignoring who?

[Carissa] ....that's fair.

[JohnA] first you say to ignore you, then ignore comments

[Carissa] ...nope. Now I get it. Also expect me to be slow.

[mharm-15549] I am back at the keyboard.

[JohnA] how would you know?

[Carissa] lol

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] A'ight. I'm here. Hi all!

[JohnA] how mucj do they get paid?

[Master] I bet they do not follow instructions well

[JohnA] just a bunch of drones

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Well, I almost want to pay them for how much they are going to end up making me

[Master] see Carissa you fit right in

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'm going to bill the crap out of the clinet who requested I haul away those mattresses

[Carissa] Woo!

[Master] no I did not get her an ankle

[Spring] it's my ankle. it's coming along

[Master] If I had known ahead of time

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] lol

[Master] grisn

[Spring] LOL thanks BOB

[Carissa] (lol but she could use it)

[Spring] see if i don't get you an ankle

[TMO] Bob has 3d printers, he could make you a new ankle

[Master] easy

[Spring] oh hey, yeah do that

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] The Bionic woman

[Master] plastic woman at least

[Spring] the 00 woman

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] LOL

[Spring] damn symbols, that was supposed to be six hundred dollar

[Spring] but the ankle is coming along and i'm not even high right now. been off narcotics since saturday night

[Spring] so it's working out

[TMO] congrats

[Carissa] You'll spring back soon enough.

[Spring] went out to the UPS store to pick up a package and fell on my ass

[Spring] LOL carissa

[Carissa] ;)

[Lisa] oh no!

[Master] grins

[Master] I said you should stay in the basement until after the elections

[Spring] i learned i will not be using a knee scooter in places where there's no handicap ramp

[TMO] 2020 elections?

[Spring] stoopit little curb

[Lisa] you got a scooter? nice!

[Master] Mario is 30-45 minutes out according to Jo-ann

[Lisa] except for the curb part

[Spring] it's kind of heavy. i'm going to make muscles hefting it into and out of the truck

[Spring] but i got that figured out, so i can go to work sunday

[TMO] I am officially done with work until January

[Spring] thank heaven it's a weekend and then a holiday, so i don't have to worry about dress code

[Master] so before next Friday Spring, Michael, John, Mario and Lisa will all get their end of year things

[Spring] jealous TMO

[Lisa] Yes I refuse to work any more until next year

[JohnA] yea?!

[Master] if you come over on Sunday that is John

[Spring] my workplace goes on a sort of hiatus last couple weeks of the year, except emergency personnel, which i am

[TMO] btw, Bob. Ornament matches some displays wife got me many years ago. Trying to find pictures of them online to share.

[Master] NICE

[Master] everyone has a matching one this year

[Spring] oooooooooo

[Spring] is there a picture posted on the site? or is TMO talking an in person sighting?

[Master] I will have to restock over the year

[Master] TMO and Carissa got theirs already

[Master] by a miracle of USpS

[Spring] :-)

[Carissa] Sometimes they'd good.

[Master] Lisa can share hers as she wishes

[Spring] heh so i get to go to UPS store again. this time they can bring my package out

[Lisa] I didn't get an ornament

[Master] I know that is still coming for you Lisa

[Lisa] I think I got my end of the year?

[Master] yes

[JohnA] amazon is closer to you apparently

[Master] it was an absurdly large box for what was inside

[Lisa] It was a really cool looking set of bookends

[Lisa] dragon on one end

[TMO] Franklin Mint Michael Whelan Dragons

[Spring] ooooooooooo

[Lisa] tail and books on the other

[TMO] 12 of them, found two pics, horrible quality.

[JohnA] nice

[Lisa] in a very nice large green sack that the kitten thank you for

[Carissa] Nice!

[Spring] hee!

[Master] no ghost poop for them?

[TMO] very nice Lisa!

[Master] I will reveal actual numbers next week

[Master] but I was guessing that both Lisa and Carissa would be in tonight

[Master] which is the tie breaker

[TMO] here's a very closeup of 1 of them:

[Carissa] Tonight is the tiebreaker?

[Carissa] This mean I can't miss next Friday?

[Master] grins

[Lisa] that is what you got?

[Master] if you are both here Lisa beats you by 1 session

[Lisa] oh no!

[TMO] (no, those are the ones I already have that are very similar to the ornament I just received)

[Carissa] Cool TMO!

[Lisa] I would have stayed away

[Master] HAH Lisa

[Carissa] Ah so close...

[Master] TMO was very close too

[Master] was a very good year

[JohnA] i only came back to make sure I say in to overall lead

[Master] LOL

[Master] LOL

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Hey, totally wont be offendeed if I didn't, but should ib e expexcting something Bob?

[Master] you will get yorus this week Michael

[Master] your's and Springs are expected to arrive during the week

[Master] I told them no rush, they had to be there by the end of the year, not by Christamas

[Master] but apparently some got their early

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] no problem, we just do all our shopping and have it delievered and it might have been accidentaly wrapped. So, I just wanted to check haha

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] :_

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] :)

[Master] nah

[Master] there is teh Dragonslayer Shield on the outside

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Although, it would have beenf funny if I opened it on xmas :)

[Spring] hehehe

[Master] and by the way (end of 2016) Lisa was at 318 games

[Master] and John was at 624

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] WOW

[Spring] wowie

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Congrats Guys!

[Carissa] Nicee

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] The true MVP's

[Master] actual number next week

[Master] but there are some nice milestones coming up

[Master] I wish Mario was here

[Master] for this encounter

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Carissa] Suddenly thinking we should have kept track of how many puns for the year....

[Master] but we c an say that he is downstairs in the bilge I guess

[Master] LOL

[Master] LOL

Hoffman (JohnA)] Can I just say something

[Master] that is your task for 2018 Carissa

[Master] yes to Hoffman

[Carissa] Ha! I'll attempt.

Hoffman (JohnA)] I just want to say, if Qui Fon was here, he would say this is a sign

Hoffman (JohnA)] I understand we have places to go and things to do

Hoffman (JohnA)] and maybe we are not 100% but we should have done more about the orcs

Hoffman (JohnA)] maybe them chasing us is our chance

[Carissa] (Psst. They might still catch us in the night)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (i know)

[Carissa] (Just checking. Carry on)

Hoffman (JohnA)] when we see injustice, or someone in need of help, isn't that what we are here for?

Hoffman (JohnA)] (if I wanted a speach, I could done it on line)

[Master] a solioquy

[Spring] yeah, but

[Spring] an orc issue that much bigger than us, we have to plan something special

Hoffman (JohnA)] i don't know, I guess we'll see

[Spring] it's too big to swagger in and just start kicking ass

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jtpf8N5IDE

[Spring] maybe we need some kind of trap

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] It's a trap!

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] ok Admiral, where to

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] At least we can get some where before we continue this discussion

[Master] nice juxtapostion

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (total accident)

[Master] (brb as you get organzied)

[Indigo (Lisa)] I guess it depends on what we are doing

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (i thought we were stopping by the keep. ?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] I was going to head behind the waterfall over there and the keep but if you want to fight three ships of orcs then we might as well wait here

Hoffman (JohnA)] I would like us, well you, to control the situation. No reason to just sit here

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Can we even hide? Is there room?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] we can always try

[Indigo (Lisa)] Then let's head for the waterfall and the keep then

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (we don't have a way to know whether they saw us before we saw them)

[Master] (by the way Carissa and Michael still have somethign to receive in the future, Spring and Mario got theirs, Lisa and TMO and John also. It is from the 1,000 session the paperweight. Carissa and Michael get thiers when they hit 100 sessions)

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (if they did, and if we seem to vanish, they might search)

[Master] and about that waterfall

[TMO] (sry - wife got home from grocery store, and between unoading and unpacking and my dinner finishing cooking, I was busy)

[Master] no map for that because I realised, it is not THAT kind of waterfall

[Master] you cannot hide behind it

[Master] you can get out of the knarr and go up into it

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (is there a bend in the river?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And leave the knarr to be stolen?)

[Master] but I realized after the summary that you wanted a place to hide the knarr which is not going to happen

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And yay more presents!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yay summaries to clarify our thoughts!)

[TMO] anybody have Invisible Boat spel?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (so we run or fight)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I do have obscure...

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (would be nice to be on solid land and shoot at them

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Need to check how long it lasts, though)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (that is nice)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (how wide is the river here? do trees overhang it?)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I just wonderwho lives here and how they may react?

[Indigo (Lisa)] So the other option is to sail through the night

[Master] the river is about three quarters of a mile acdross

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Sorry tiny screen still looking)

[Indigo (Lisa)] If we don't want to fight them

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (stringing something across might not be viable)

[Master] yes there are spots with trees right up to the edge in most places

[TMO] hiding the boat and etting them sail past might be best, but orcs see at night much better than we do

[Indigo (Lisa)] (was that IC?)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (wait, I have a thought)

[TMO] and our mass destruction spels are in another city

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (if we make a landing and try to defend from the ground, there's an additional complication of unknown turf)

[TMO] (no, ooc)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Obscure is 60 sq ft for 24 rounds)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (i figure he's OOC since he didn't put a character on yet)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (t persists in this locale forfour rounds per caster level and reduces the visibility ranges of all types of vision(including infravision) to 2d4 feet)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (do you have Comprehend languages Carissa?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Don't think so. To speak to them?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (ohh that would be fun!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (You want the bloodthirsty elf to speak to the orcs?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes please)

[TMO] (any druidy types got warp wood?)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] ( I was thinking then I could play a tune they might understand)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hahaha)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yes to warp wood)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (i think Kenna has warp wood)

[TMO] (boats don't like being warped)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oho!!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (No they do not :) )

[Indigo (Lisa)] (what is range on that? Can you do it from a distance?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (10 yds I think)

[Master] 10 yards per level

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh good

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] So we are trying to hide yes?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Beat me to it)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (just 10 yards would be a bit close )

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And obscure is centered around caster)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (So 60 yards for Shi. Kenna too, right?O)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] maybe Ambush?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (right)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Could cast water walk on someone sneaky to sneak over and do...sneaky things?)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (or Fly)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oh! She has a fire spell where you can hold fire)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Maybe set the ships on fire, sneaky person?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Nieth has obscure as well

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] if both casters cast it

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] it would have a decent range

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Look at the map, is this the best place for an ambush, or hidding in general?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Which map?)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (Though Ilero had maps)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] hey bob is it cloudy out ;)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Sorry. Thought you meant actual map that didn't work last time)

[Master] it is evening but yes a hazy shade of winter

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Winter is coming)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Lighting bolt their ships anyone?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] LOL

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Warms my heart

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (But we're also in water. Lightningt and water don't always mix....)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (plus you wanna bet we don't have any storm clouds?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'm hoping to hit there ships, not the water ;) Catch their ships on fire...

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yes that map still works ;) )

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] bob said it was cloudy right?

[TMO] (Ilero has camouflage skill)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] :)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oh did he? i missed it)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Illero can camo our ship!!!?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Camouflage and obscure. Unless they park)

[Master] of if you park

[TMO] (obscure is 60 sq ft, right?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] per cahracter yes

[TMO] (how long is the boat?)

[Master] the knarr map is accurate

Spring is receiving the map basic knarr...

Spring has received the map basic knarr.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Only concern with obscure is if it'll last long enough. We don't know where they are or if they'll wait us out)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Does camouflage work in reverse? Set up something looking like a fake ship parked somewhere?)

[TMO] (no)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (darn...)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] hello Mario

[Carissa] So can't build a dam. Damn.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] ()

[Carissa] Hi Mario!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (well for me obscurement is an L1 spell, if it's the same for you, we could cast several of them in a row)

Ilero (TMO)] If park boat in front of tree to hide mast, might be able camouflage boat bit. We gots any spells help hide boat?

[MarioCS] Hello Hello

[MarioCS] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (hi Mario!)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (kel has the Hiding prof, if that helps)

[Kel (MarioCS)] :0)

Ilero (TMO)] Will need branches wit' leaves to cover deck and edge.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (helps him)

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

Ilero (TMO)] Can't do much wit' mast unless someone make it look like tree.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] A bit of fog to obscure the area and the ability to help the trees and other plants grow more in the area.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] maybe make it look partialy sunk

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I could sit on top the mast and turn into a tree...

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] WHAT? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] We like you

Ilero (TMO)] ... Tree float in air draw much attention.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) laughs

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] we don't want to loose you

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) (to Master only)] kill me please :)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I can turn back to myself, too. It isn't permanent.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] oh

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] of course

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] sorry

[Master (to mharm-15549 only)] grins

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But thank you for the concern.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) smiles

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] hehehehe

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I don't think I can turn into a big enough tree to hide the mast from the ground...

Ilero (TMO)] How big is tree?

Ilero (TMO)] Small sapling, giant oak?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Looking. One sec)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] "a small living tree orshrub or that of a large dead tree trunk with only a few limbs. "

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Or that. Thanks!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Something small or a large dead trunk.

Ilero (TMO)] Ah. No good extra camouflage. Was t'inking make big tree put in front of boat, make look like it on land.

Ilero (TMO)] But might use dead trunk as obstacle damage boat.

Ilero (TMO)] Orc boat, not ours.

Hoffman (JohnA)] just one thought before we go too far. Any reason to save one of their boats?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (i looked to see if Entangle or Plant Growth could help with camouflage but they both would be overkill and we wouldn't be able to fight)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Tree for 12 rounds, only)

Ilero (TMO)] We not have crew to sail it, unless ours break.

[Kel (MarioCS)] (Sorry, but why are we hiding the boat?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Was tihnking the same Spring. Sad...)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Because an untold number of orcs row towards us)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Probably the 96 from earlier)

Hoffman (JohnA)] ( to ambush orcs)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (Orcs? i hate Orcs!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hoffman wants ambush. Not sure everyone agrees :) )

Ilero (TMO)] Hehe... if cliff here, turn all but one into dead trees and topple onto boats as they pass.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ok sorry have to ask again: how long is a round?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] Im for that! If im the one pushing

[Master] make an observation check

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (heh Tree is a self-spell, so we'd only have two trees)

Shurkural (TMO)] Honey, you *gotta* tone it down a bit.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Anyone or Ilero?)

Shurkural (TMO)] (Ilero)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] what about a flying tree?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Ilero already said a floating one wasn't useful...

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But it does sound fun.

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kel (MarioCS)] Are there monkeys in the trees? by extension, flying monkeys

Ilero (TMO)] Only useful if can damage or sink t'eir boat.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I thought those were only in Cornelia?

[Indigo (Lisa)] The orcs may have some of the townspeople on board their ships.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] like a flying lance, what could go wrong

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] A bit dangerous to warp wood when you're made of it.

Ilero (TMO)] Indigo. T'is boat sinkable and refloatable?

[Indigo (Lisa)] If you were thinking of just destroying them

[Master] any one and everyone who has observation

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] oh

Indigo (Lisa) looks at Ilero like he is insane

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] [Hoffman]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (neither of my characters have it)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (i dont think we can do things if we are trees. wouldn't we have to change back to warm wood?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 12!!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (warp)

Ilero (TMO)] [Marisu]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 17!!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Shhh details, Spring!)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (use the force Indigo)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (lol)

[Master (to TMO only)] Ilero spots a small boat with three figures in it with a white flag flying

[Indigo (Lisa)] (not sure what everyone was trying to observe

[Ilero]] (TMO) grins. "Was t'inking boat easier hide if most of it under water."

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Bob told us to roll :) )

[Master (to JohnA only)] Miranda spots a small boat with three figures in it with a white flag flying

[Ilero]] (TMO) points. "Boat!"

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (uh that sounds scary)

Ilero (TMO)] White flag, t'ough.

[Kel (MarioCS)] Kel: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Are we anchored?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you want to use the spyglass Ilero?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] A trap?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] It's a trap!

Ilero (TMO)] Yes. T'at good idea Indigo.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] ;)

[JohnA] I am back at the keyboard.

Indigo (Lisa) hands him the spyglass

[Ilero]] (TMO) takes the spyglass carefully and looks through it at the boat.

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) stands next to Miranda, just in case

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Attack: Ellidors Bow for Elves:: is now ARMED.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Orcs?

[Master (to MarioCS only)] Kel spots three humanoid figures in a small boat heading towards you, flying a white flag

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) makes sure to have bag of first aid supplies

Hoffman (JohnA)] Can you smell them from here?

[Master (to TMO only)] ilero spots three orcs rowing towards your boat under a white flag

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Wind is in the wrong direction to know. I wondered if they spotted them.

Ilero (TMO)] T'ree orcs rowing under white flag. Anybody speak orc?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I do.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) knocks arrow

[Ilero]] (TMO) grabs the arrow. "Wait please."

Hoffman (JohnA)] Not I

[Kel (MarioCS)] Hey! Ilero, do you see that small boat?

[Kel (MarioCS)] its coming this way, just three peeps rowing

[Kel (MarioCS)] looks like a white flag

[Indigo (Lisa)] So this is a boat and not one of the long ships from earlier?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Fine...

[Indigo (Lisa)] There is a difference between a ship and a boat...

Ilero (TMO)] Hye t'ink maybe from long ship.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] i do not speak orc

Indigo (Lisa) looks at Penelope tiredly

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oh wait, Shi said she did whew)

[Indigo (Lisa)] A boat from a long ship or a long ship?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Don't misunderstand. Her "speaking" orc is killing them ;) )

[Master] (yes a boat from one of the ships)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oh. well then)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Want me to just look?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

Ilero (TMO)] (I was thinking that was what she meant)

Indigo (Lisa) tapping his foot now

[Ilero]] (TMO) hands the spyglass back to Indigo.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Heh, good thing Ilero guess correctly then)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (i'm reading things out of order. saw the arrow out of turn)

Ilero (TMO)] Marisu, may need fancy talking. Could turn t'is useful if t'ey want talk.

Indigo (Lisa) looks out spyglass at boat and for any sign of the ships behind them

[Master (to Lisa only)] Indigo spots three orcs in a rowboat, two of them rowing, one holding up a white flag rowing towards the knarr

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] other than violence, does anyone speak orc?

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hugh, you speak orc?

[Master (to Lisa only)] Indigo spots three ships farther back, holding posistion

[Indigo (Lisa)] All right I see what's happening

[Kel (MarioCS)] The only good orc cannot speak, just lay dead

Indigo (Lisa) puts down spyglass

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I speak Norse but not orc

[Marisu]] (TMO) looks doubtful. "I.. don't speak Orcish though. And I didn't memorize Comprehend Languages this morning. But if they speak Common I can certainly try."

[Indigo (Lisa)] These three are negotiators

[Indigo (Lisa)] The ships are farther back waiting

[Kel (MarioCS)] negotiating for us not to kill them?

[Indigo (Lisa)] We kill these 3 and they ships will come

[Kel (MarioCS)] They could just sail away

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] well they are taking the intiative

[mharm-15549] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] so maybe they do have a common speaker

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Cant hurt to hear them out

[Indigo (Lisa)] They probably want ransom for the hostages

[Indigo (Lisa)] Why they took them in the first place

[Master] The row boat is getting closer

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It's really not hard. Grunt at them. Threaten them. You've seen how they ac.

[Indigo (Lisa)] So they probably speak common

[Indigo (Lisa)] At least one will I'm guessing

[Marisu]] (TMO) nods. "Okay, could be ransom for hostages, demand to surrender, or other. If we present ourselves as too strong to mess with, they might also decide to sail away."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Question is - do we pay them?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] with what?

Hoffman (JohnA)] (still thinking of line "hello Pirate")

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] blood?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Depends what they ask. Based on their last interaction...might want elves in exchange...

Indigo (Lisa) looks at Shi "Do you think 3 long ships of orcs will be frightened of us and run away?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I don't think we're exactly rolling in the cash...

Hoffman (JohnA)] We should not let them get too close

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) to Ilero. "May I have my arrow back?"

Marisu (TMO)] Shi'nynze, do orcs feel about elves the same way you do about orcs?

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2OcbeGqbpU

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Not frightened of us, and I've yet to meet an orc that liked an elf...

[Indigo (Lisa)] Well, we sitting here and they are there. If we don't run now, it just is what it is.

Marisu (TMO)] Should you two wait out of sight in the hold? If the sight of you will enrage them?

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) glances at Kel

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Might be a good idea...

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) waiting nervosusly

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) falls back

[Kel (MarioCS)] i'd rather cover the decks in their blood, but i can restain myself

[Kel (MarioCS)] for a bit

Marisu (TMO)] It may still come to that, but I will try for a diplomatic solution first.

[Kel (MarioCS)] but if that putrid funk of their aroma gets too strong, im coming out swinging

Marisu (TMO)] (how far away are they?)

[Orc (Master)] HO THE KNARR

[Marisu]] (TMO) steps up to the railing.

Indigo (Lisa) waves at the orcs

Hoffman (JohnA)] (that does not sound orcish)

[Orc (Master)] WE SEEK THE AMBASSADOR

[Marisu]] (TMO) cantrips her voice louder. "WHO APPROACHES?"

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (was not expecting that)

[Orc (Master)] GORGRESH THE SLAYER

Marisu (TMO)] WHAT BUSINESS HAVE YOU WITH THE AMBASSADOR?

[Orc (Master)] FEASTER OF CHILDREN

[Orc (Master)] WE SEEK PARLEY

[Kel (MarioCS)] Parsley?, for the children?

Hoffman (JohnA)] oh

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nudges Kel, "Shhh"

Marisu (TMO)] PARLEY ON WHAT MATTER?

[Orc (Master)] WE WISH TO PAY YOU FOR PASSAGE

[Orc (Master)] IF YOU GUARD US

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Us? Guard orcs??

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (?!?!?!?!?!)

Indigo (Lisa) stifles a laugh

[Marisu]] (TMO) looks back at the group in surprise.

Marisu (TMO)] PASSAGE TO WHERE?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Shrugs

[Orc (Master)] DRILLIAN

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Ilero kept my arrow. Didn't he...

Marisu (TMO)] (you have others. :P)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Why would the GORGRESH THE SLAYER need protection?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Shhh she's slightly offended)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) lets get them to deep water, and sink them all in one swoop

[Marisu]] (TMO) quietly says, "Diplomatic protection. They want us to be their bona fides past the navy."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Isn't slaying what he does?

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) thinks to herself, first Aunt Jen, now orcs

[Indigo (Lisa)] They just burned down Therip

Marisu (TMO)] YOU WANT US TO GUIDE YOU SAFELY TO DRILLIAN?

[Orc (Master)] CITY OF STONE PASS IS ALL

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Or burn their ships...

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) completely boggled

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) felling a little elvish

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yay Hoffman!)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (and devilish)

[Indigo (Lisa)] How much is he going to pay?

Marisu (TMO)] IF YOU WANT US TO ESCORT YOU PAST THE DEFENDERS, WE NEED TO KNOW WHY YOU WISH TO GO, AND WHAT GUARANTEES YOU OFFER FOR YOUR GOOD BEHAVIOR THERE.

Hoffman (JohnA)] (don't say heads, do say heads)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) what benefit is there to help orcs? theyre just going to do mayhem when they get there

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (release of any prisoners they have, at the least)

[Orc (Master)] WE HAVE GOODS TO SELL IN DRILLIAN

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (but still, escorting orcs?!?!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Well their stentch might keep away others...

[Orc (Master)] WE WILL PAY

[Orc (Master)] GET BY STONE CITY

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Wait, goods as in slaves?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) are orcs welcome in Drillian?

Carissa is receiving the map Paths Home...

Hoffman (JohnA)] (are slaves?)

Carissa has received the map Paths Home.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (never saw an orc in drillian)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Get past the city to go where? Attack some elf clans?

Marisu (TMO)] Well, this is unexpected.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Is Dryads Lair the Stone City?

[Orc (Master)]

Marisu (TMO)] What do you think?

[Orc (Master)] (BOWS)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (don't we sort of know there are orcish pirates around? how do we know whether these are them?)

Marisu (TMO)] (she's talking quietly to the group, btw)

[Orc (Master)] NODS

[Orc (Master)]

[Orc (Master)] hah

[Orc (Master)] there we go

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Why do they need our help? They're orcs.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (maybe they need defending against the orcish priates, if these are not them)

Marisu (TMO)] The Dryads Lair navy or the Drillian navy would sinnk them outright

Marisu (TMO)] they want us to take them past that.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] As they should.

[Indigo (Lisa)] They also have to get by Corvash and Duke Brandish's guards

[Master] hint where did you get this Knarr from?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (what a conundrum)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (bugbear pirates)

[Master] grins

Marisu (TMO)] (actually, I honestly don't remember)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oh! it was the bugbears that were the pirates, not the orcs)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] hey ask them what they want protecting from

Marisu (TMO)] Aunt Jennevieve, without Branwyn here, would anyone listen to us if we did agree?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Bugbears and orcs get along?)

Marisu (TMO)] (orcs are lesser creatures to bugbears)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo couldn't sail it and someone cast continual light at the top mast so it was lighting up the river and sailing in circles as the battle ensued

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Marisu can make choices

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) scratches head

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I would say that Indigo has great leeway in his choices also

[Indigo (Lisa)] (halfing village on shore was watching)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (fun times)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

Marisu (TMO)] Oh, of course! Pardon me, Admiral Indigo! I forgot!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (if we do escort orcs, that could turn our allies into enemies)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Very possible the elves will be very unhappy, yes)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] We can speak for them but I can;'t see fighting for them, certainly not the navy

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Was actually looking to see if escort brings them close to any woods...)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (no one said out lout IC about the cargo so she cannot respond to that )

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Speak for them? What is there to speak?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (but slavery is leagal in DL?)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (is that an IC question?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Looking at maps, elves would not like them past Corvash)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (just thoought i might know after spending time there)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (and that you do not indicates that you should be asking)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (I do not need to know cause I still disagree, just caculating odds, issues)

Marisu (TMO)] WHAT IS YOUR CARGO FOR DRILLIAN?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think they want to go all the way to Drillian Marisu

[Orc (Master)] IT IS OUR CARGO

[Orc (Master)] WE NEED PAST STONE CITY

Marisu (TMO)] They said they have cargo to sell in Drillian.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Just say we will look out for each other on the water

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) whispers to Marisu "But why?"

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We? Who is we?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (the navey will attack but someone in the city will trade is my guess)

Marisu (TMO)] Here's my thinking. If they are going to attack us, they could do it here where we have no allies, but if we're near to Dryads Lair or Drillian, their ships could assist us. We could delay the fight until we have help.

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) nodds

Marisu (TMO)] If they find out Branwyn isn't here though, that could be a problem.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) glaring and silent

[Indigo (Lisa)] We will get stopped or fired upon if we sail by Corvash with a three ships full of orcs

Hoffman (JohnA)] not letting my guard down, but I will go along with the group

Marisu (TMO)] If we have them sail a distance behind us, we would approach the defenders and ask for their safe passage. If it's denied, they will turn around.

[Indigo (Lisa)] We will have trouble getting into Port at Dryads Lair with 3 ships of orcs

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (you know we are gonna do it because it's hilarious)

Indigo (Lisa) laughs

[Kel (MarioCS)] (rofl)

Hoffman (JohnA)] I like that plan Indigo

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (true :P)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)]

[Indigo (Lisa)] They will turn around?

Marisu (TMO)] Or the Dryads Lair navy will sink them

[Indigo (Lisa)] And if we say no they will probably attack us right here

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I am certain that Admiral Indigo can exert a great deal of influence

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] if we do it, we'd have to have them festoon their ships with white flags

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] he is the voice of the Drillian Navy right now

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh sure. I vouch for Grogesh the Slayer, simple merchant

[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles at Indigo. "How would you like to be known as Admiral Bolger, Orc-friend?"

Hoffman (JohnA)] (sory Great plan Marisu, oh my head hurts)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) I might puke.

[Kel (MarioCS)] with all due respect, i wont call you that.

[Master] and smiles, bows, merry christmas hope you like your present

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (What's the refund/return terms?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) not from these lips

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (:P)

Ilero (TMO)] Spend our time making molotov cocktails.

[Master] HAH did you save your receipt?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yes)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (....)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I'd gladly help you, Ilero.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't want to vouch for the orcs that just burned a town to the gound.

Hoffman (JohnA)] (we get close we say they made us help them)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] there is that

Marisu (TMO)] I'm not overly fond of the idea, but I think going along with them for now is our best chance of survival. Unless we think we could take on 3 ships full of orcs all by ourselves.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I was out there trying to save people

Marisu (TMO)] That is a good point, Admiral.

[Kel (MarioCS)] DO we know what the merchandise is? is it slaves?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] There is never a reason to vouch for orcs. Ever.

Marisu (TMO)] I wasn't there, I forgot about that.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well we could sink them...

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I am not sure it matters what their cargo is

Marisu (TMO)] Sorry, I get caught up in diplomacy sometimes, and forget the realities.

[Kel (MarioCS)] it very well does matter, if we were to turn our weapons on their ships

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] it may makes thing worse but it's not gonna make it better

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] And if they have elves as cargo.

[Indigo (Lisa)] If you want to have them follow us and speak for them, you can.

Marisu (TMO)] I think the Admiral's choice is the most important. His is the reputation that will make it succeed if it can.

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) jaw drop

[Kel (MarioCS)] falming arrows into sails may not be the best idea if the holds are full of people

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can't do that

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) But I like setting fires...

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) no one shoots an flaming arrow better than you!

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) grins with pride

[Master] she's especially good at expectorating

Kel (MarioCS) rolls eyes

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] hehehe

Marisu (TMO)] (elves are very intolerant. they execute their gay arrows)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (OK)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Falalala lalala)

Marisu (TMO)] (that was a reach, sorry)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (read it twice, before the coin dropped. Well done!!!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha)

Marisu (TMO)] (arrows that swish the other way)

Marisu (TMO)] (back on topic though)

[Kel (MarioCS)] brb

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] you have to find us a compramise Marisu

[MarioCS] I am away from the keyboard.

Marisu (TMO)] If we say we won't do it, do you think they'll attack us immediately?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It is your decision, but I will have no part in it.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] They are orcs. Yes.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] *decision to help them/escort them

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] can we keep a truce?

Marisu (TMO)] Do we think we can take 3 boats full of orcs by ourselves?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] without actualy guarding them

Hoffman (JohnA)] if we have to

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) glances at Indigo

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] diplomatic observers?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I respect Indigo enough that I will refrain from attacking. But that is all.

Hoffman (JohnA)] i do worry about the cargo

[Marisu]] (TMO) nods. "I understand Shi'Nynze."

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Perhaps someone so go take a look at it?

Marisu (TMO)] So do I, Hoffman. If it is slaves though, they might be better off in Drillian rather than stuck with the orcs for a longer time.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] that is a tough sell for Marisu Shi

[Indigo (Lisa)] I really don't think they are going all the way to Drillian

[Master] Do you know which markets they might be bound for?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] They should not be allowed past Corvash.

Marisu (TMO)] Trust me, I have no love for slavers. None.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Beyond that are clans they could attempt to raid.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] They want someone to speak for them. Why not know what you are speaking for?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (is it too obvious to say Bugbears, how many times have we been slaves?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh they might be taking them to Deksport?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (what was the name of the piratey town we stopped at last time?)

[Master] yes

Ilero (TMO)] Want hye go wit', check cargo?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I think that may start the fight

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Take a molotov cocktail with you.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (or whatever the equivalent is of one here)

[Indigo (Lisa)] I wouldn't do that ....

[Indigo (Lisa)] Long ships are fast. You start something with 3 ships you better be ready to finish it

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Are there any port holes or ways to peer into the ship? Say...if you were a bird or something?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Or swim fast Ilero

Marisu (TMO)] If they get past Dryads Lair, how wil they get back?

Miranda Paige (JohnA) (to GM only)] Character sheet for [Miranda Paige]] modified:

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I'd gladly cast water walk for you.

[Ilero]] (TMO) grins. "Swim? Why for?"

Ilero (TMO)] How long water walk last?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (A very good question. One sec)

[Indigo (Lisa)] If you throw something burning at one of their ships like Shi said.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (7 turns)

Marisu (TMO)] (that's over an hour, or 7 minutes?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Although I suppose we should make sure their cargo isn't slaves...

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (about the same as fly)

[Master] turn eqaals 10 miutes

Marisu (TMO)] (so 70 minutes)

[Indigo (Lisa)] If Shi casts her wind spell and we row and sail all night we could get some distance and they would be stuck

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (So meaning 70 minutes total?)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] tell them we will sleep on it. That will give us some time

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I can cast it twice before I need rest.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Although I cannot cast both.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Sorry BRB

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (what is that Wind Servant? i might have it too)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] being we are weak humans and need our rest, they might buy it.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Until I sleep, it is only wind or water.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yes)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that is if we want to run)

Marisu (TMO)] Shall I ask them to wait until morning?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (i've got wind servant)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We really should know their cargo before making any decision.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Unless we are decided?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Sweet!)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] still seems prudent

[Indigo (Lisa)] If you have them wait until morning, tell them to stay back

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (i can cast it 3 times)

[Marisu]] (TMO) nods.

[Indigo (Lisa)] If they sail up to us we will be in a race with no head start

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Shi already cast one. She can do 2 total, but only one more for the night)

Indigo (Lisa) mutters which they probably will do overnight anyway

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Can't trust an orc.

Marisu (TMO)] WE NEED TIME TO THINK OVER THE PROBLEM. COME BACK AFTER DAWN FOR OUR ANSWER. UNTIL THEN, STAY UPSTREAM OUT OF SIGHT, OR WE WILL CONSIDER IT AN ATTACK AND SINK ALL OF YOUR SHIPS WITH ALL HANDS.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (so we are still waiting for an answer on portholes or other way to spy the hold right?)

Marisu (TMO) (to GM only)] [Marisu]]: Intimidation (Cha) check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!

Marisu (TMO) (to GM only)] [Marisu]]: Persuasion check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

Marisu (TMO) (to GM only)] [Marisu]]: Politics - Nobles only check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yup)

[Orc (Master)] WE GIVE YOU SAILOR FOR BOND

[Indigo (Lisa)] We don't want him

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I feel like Bob is determined for orc interactions here)

Indigo (Lisa) sighs thinking of Jilly making friends with him

Marisu (TMO)] If we tie him up and blindfold him to prevent spying?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (If she does, Shi will steal her wooden spoon)

[Orc (Master)] (lol)

[Orc (Master)] (UP TO YOU OF COURSE)

Marisu (TMO)] That assumes that one of their own is worth anything to them as a bond, of course)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) whispers, "Death also prevents spying...."

Marisu (TMO)] (that was IC)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] ( i am working on bugbear character, not orc character)

Marisu (TMO)] (lol)

Marisu (TMO)] (I don't know, I could use a fourth.... ;) )

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Unlikely. Orcs only value destruction and blood.

[Orc (Master)] hah

[Indigo (Lisa)] If he understands common he will hear everything we say too

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] ( we can paly 4 on 4 then)

Marisu (TMO)] I can put him to sleep

Indigo (Lisa) looks around at the group

[Indigo (Lisa)] What do you all want to do?

Marisu (TMO)] In fact, I can put all three to sleep, we take the one as bond, then send the boat back with two, and they'll see that as power.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) mutters "Death also is a good alternative to sleep..."

[Ilero]] (TMO) chuckles and pats Shi on the shoulder.

Ilero (TMO)] Hye understand.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'd just as soon sail on and leave them behind but that doesn't seem to be what you all want to do

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) gives Ilero a slight smile

Ilero (TMO)] T'ey kept up wit' us, and knew where we was wit'out us seeing t'em.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] If they agree to the night, I say in the morning we sail with or with out a truce

Ilero (TMO)] In daylight. It almost night.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] i would prefer not to escort them

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If we're not to kill them, I would prefer to sail without them.

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's only because we stopped rowing and were sitting here trying to decide what to do

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Says Shi. But Carissa still thinks this could be entertaining)

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Mebbe. Hye not know boats as well."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ships

[Orc (Master)] grins

[Orc (Master)]

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

Ilero (TMO)] Floaty wood bowls.

[Penelope (Master)] It would be a better ship

[Penelope (Master)] IF we take one of theirs

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) grins, "Wouldn't be the first thing I've taken from an orc."

Ilero (TMO)] Were t'eir floaty wood houses better t'an ours?

Ilero (TMO)] House better word t'an bowl.

[Penelope (Master)] We can carry more cargo

[Indigo (Lisa)] But we're not pirates

[Penelope (Master)] They can move faster

Marisu (TMO)] We're not the Ambassador either.

Penelope (Master) looks askance at Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] We don't just take people's boats because we like them

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ships!

[Penelope (Master)] I take things I like

[Indigo (Lisa)] Now you've got me saying it

Penelope (Master) grins wolvishly at Indigo

Hoffman (JohnA)] spoils of war maybe

[Indigo (Lisa)] If we won the ship in battle that is a different story

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well that would limit our attacks...

[Indigo (Lisa)] But we don't just attack people for their ships

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] No fire or sinking them...

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's not knightly

[Penelope (Master)] Not just for their ships, for the stuff they have too

Marisu (TMO)] They probably won't wait much longer. Do we take the bondsman or not?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] that is sort of the definition or piracy

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Not my call.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) tests to make sure her arrows are sharp

[Penelope (Master)] BUT we have an Admiral, we are not pirates

Hoffman (JohnA)] Captain spoke, No bond needed

Marisu (TMO)] Your opinion does matter if you cut the orc's throat in the night and we try to return a corpse in the morning.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] As I said, out of respect for Indigo, I will refrain.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But I will be ready to defend myself.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Don't do anything out of respect for me

[Indigo (Lisa)] None of this is my decision

Marisu (TMO)] Admiral Bolger, it is your ship. If you don't want the orc on board, that is final.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] True, but I won't be the cause for bringing you into battle, Admiral.

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's our ship not my ship

Marisu (TMO)] I'm merely Branwyn's apprentice, and the lowest member of the Dragonslayers. I'm merely the mouth in this discussion.

Marisu (TMO)] I wasn't aware that was how Captaincy worked, Admiral.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] i am just the midwife. if i have any say, it's no thanks

[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles at Indigo.

Indigo (Lisa) scratches his head "This is all diplomatic stuff and I don't know what to do with that"

Marisu (TMO)] Orc on board or no? Yes or no votes from everyone.

[Penelope (Master)] brb

Hoffman (JohnA)] No

[Indigo (Lisa)] Like I said, if it were solely up to me I would have Shi cast a wind spell and we's make a break for it

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] no

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] No

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] what indigo said

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] No to orc, of couse. Yes to wind if needed.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] No, but Indigo do you think it was Branwyn?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But they could still catch up to us.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Branwyn? She said to get tro Dryads Lair as fast as we can and then on to Rivers Bend

Ilero (TMO)] Hye hokay wit' orc, but hokay wit' no orc too.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I'm still curious about their cargo, though....

Shurkural (TMO)] Eh, whatever. One orc isn't any threat.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] She tunrned out to be ok at diplomacy in her own way

Marisu (TMO)] So it appears the majority is to refuse the bond orc. I will let them know.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Loathed as I am to say it, perhaps we could get the bond orc to tell us the cargo, though.

[Marisu]] (TMO) pauses to wait, in case the decision changes.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Carissa still votes yes. ;) )

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (does not change my votes)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (does Shi have Kel tied up on the hold?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I believe so)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Michael's characters?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'm semi afk right now

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Jenn would be si proud)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] trouble at home

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] :-(

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I'm sorry)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] nothing too bad, just cant be near computer constantly right now :0

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol to Jenn comment)

Marisu (TMO)] YOUR BOND IS UNNECESSARY. RETURN TO YOUR SHIPS AND RETURN IN THE MORNING FOR OUR ANSWER.

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Penelope (Master)] lol

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] at Lisa

[Master] ok

[Master] so you send the Orcs back to their ships till morning

[MarioCS] I am back at the keyboard.

[JohnA] pull over and sleep?

Ilero (TMO)] Want hye go scout?

[JohnA] hofman makes sure elves don't double back?

[JohnA] or not?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] The offer to cast water walk still stands.

[JohnA] let Shi and Kel go scout

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If their cargo is elves...

[JohnA] or fly

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Shi is not good with making the sneaking)

[JohnA] but kel is?

Ilero (TMO)] Hye not swim, woud need spell to get to boats.

Ilero (TMO)] ... floaty houses.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (He should be. Unless it involves centipedes)

[JohnA] I just need to be heading off to the resty place

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If you scouted, I'd be grateful. But be careful if so.

[JohnA] making sure if any lst request?

[JohnA] last

Ilero (TMO)] Or do we want to wind spell and Leave? T'ey probly watching for t'at t'ough.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If they caught up to us once, they will again until we past a point they cannot.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (None I can think of)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (yes, Kel can sneak)

[JohnA] I just thought get a good nice sleep before the race

[Kel (MarioCS)] (stating the centipede provision)

Ilero (TMO)] And do it during day.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] All we need to do is beat them to Domvile

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ooh you mean them sleep. Thought you meant you)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (but Kel cannot swim)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] How far to Domville?

[Ilero]] (TMO) holds up fingers. "Flee, stay? Scout, no scout?"

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Shi can cast water walk on two individuals, I believe. Can check)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oh sorry. Herself and one other)

[JohnA] I need a good night sleep too

Ilero (TMO)] Hye t'ink stay, scout. But hye not good wit' decisions.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] scout, if we have someone sneaky enough who is willing

[Ilero]] (TMO) looks innocent.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I'm probably not best making decisions where orcs are concerned.

Kel (MarioCS) giggles at Ilero

Carissa is receiving the map basic knarr...

Carissa has received the map basic knarr.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (50 miles or so until Berem, which is the northern edge of Domvile)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Scouting them is not just on the individual scouting, it is speaking for the group

[Indigo (Lisa)] How far back are the ships? How are you going to scout?

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) prepares her spell as they work on a decision

Ilero (TMO)] Hye was t'inking walk on water, sneak up to floaty house, look inside, walk back.

[Kel (MarioCS)] can we saty on shore until we get behind them, then lookinto their portholes?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Do we know yet if there are portholes?)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] only reason to scott is to prepare to attack. You can watch out for us

Ilero (TMO)] T'ey not look for man walk across water, but on land.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (we still do not know if there are portholes)

[Kel (MarioCS)] we canbuild a giant wooden salmon, they when they pull it onto the deck, we jump out

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Normal walking speed and 2 inch depression on water)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Indigo can make a check

[Carissa] Shi'Nynze targets [Ilero]]. Distance: 42'00"

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (fly wil be moving at 18 and can use underwater)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I don't have a silly check)

[Master] lol

[Master] I mean a boating check

Ilero (TMO)] (fly can work underwater???)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Check for how much?)

[Master] because he does not have ships

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (what about a punny one?)

[Master] points to John

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: Boating check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Master] longships do not have portholes

[Indigo (Lisa)] Probly doesn't have portholes

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: Shipwright check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Kel (MarioCS)] there has to be a feasible way to get a look into their hold.

[Kel (MarioCS)] Shi, can Fete help us out somehow?

[Master] watertight buildheads, sleek design, longships are meant for long distance quick travel with minimal hold

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze casts a spell against [Ilero]]: Water Walk: I can allow (6-5) 1 other creatures as well as myself to be able to walk on water for (6+1) 7 turns.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yeah jump on the ship and open the hold and look in

Ilero (TMO)] (iirc, they don't even have a covered hold. Everything is just on the floor)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well guess Ilero can figure it out.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (we have before but not sure this late at night)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] A little over an hour, if you go.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (no wings involved)

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero has flown once before. Loved it)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (She is enabling his...crazy plans, wasn't it?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ah sorry. Shi only has water walk. No fly. And Shi cast because she was impatient)

Ilero (TMO)] Hokay, I go. Back soon. Or not.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And collected a ton of corks before they left for a reason!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Good luck.

Ilero (TMO)] (my dice rolls are hidden)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Suspencel)

[JohnA] sorry, i will be waiting in my bed, good luck

[Ilero]] (TMO) hops over the side of the boat, half expecting to splash and sink.

[Master] the water dips but does not break

[JohnA] good night all

Ilero (TMO)] (good night!)

[Master] and night John see you next week

[Master] and more

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (goodnight!!!)

[JohnA] ttfn

[Shurkural]] (TMO) give Shi' a hard look.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Sorry and no depression ins water. Only mud or snow so no tracks)

JohnA has left the game on Fri Dec 22 21:53:37 EST 2017

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Night John!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well no one said not to....

[Kel (MarioCS)] Bye JOhn!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Shi'Nynze modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Master] Ilero can walk towards the longships

[Ilero]] (TMO) moves out to the other side of the river where they won't be looking for anyone from our boat.

[Master] how fast is he moving?

[Master] walking? running?

Ilero (TMO)] (if I read right, walk is the fastest he can go)

[Master] ahh

[Master] OK so overall

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Said normal movement speed so could be any)

[Master] Ilero sneaks off to the eastern bank

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Way I read it means that snow/mud wouldn't slow him)

[Master] he heads back up stream

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Since it also applies to those)

Ilero (TMO)] (he will be operating in sneak mode)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (not sure you can run and sneak in water - splash splash)

[Master] then he attempts to sneak closer to one of the long ships

[Master] make that check

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Thief ability - Hide in shadows* check:(d100) [1d100=31] 31 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 95!!

[Master] there you go

Ilero (TMO)] (so much for hidden rolls - that was Marisu apparently)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Your hide was not hidden from view :P)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (applause)

[Ilero]] (TMO) pauses to look where the boats are and if there's any activity.

[Master] so Ilero manages to sneak and hide and manevuer over to one of the long ships

[Master] and can see that there are several humans that seem tied to the oars

Ilero (TMO)] (any idea how many orcs on each ship?)

[Master] looks to be at least 36 per ship

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oh come on! The 32 orc thing was a joke! And you added 3!)

Ilero (TMO)] (durn. so much for backstabbing all of them)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (*4)

[Master] Longship 50/40/16

[Master] max of 50 minimum of 16

[Master] average of 40

[Master] times three longships

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (sigh)

[Kel (MarioCS)] lol, we're far from average, thogh

Ilero (TMO)] (crew size?)

[Master] that is the above TMO

[Indigo (Lisa)] (cargo?)

Ilero (TMO)] (that was what I was asking)

[Master] no visible cargo

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (the tied up humans may have been the cargo)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Probably the tied up humans)

[Ilero]] (TMO) checks to see how the steering thingy at the back is attached to the ship.

[Kel (MarioCS)] (so how many orcs vs how many humans?

[Master] ropes

[Ilero]] (TMO) smiles.

[Master] 36 orcs per ship with an addtional 12 humans per ship

[Kel (MarioCS)] tx!

[Master] is the best guestimate

Ilero (TMO)] (Are they getting ready to move, or sitting still as if for the night?)

[Master] they seem to be settled in for the night

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Orcs honoring their word? Shi would be shocked. Shocked, I tell you)

[Ilero]] (TMO) cuts the steering ropes most of the way through, so that they will break much easier when used.

Ilero (TMO)] He does not cut them all the way through, that would be almost immediately noticed.

Ilero (TMO)] Just weakens them so they are much more likey to break when really used.

[Master] ok

[Master] do you have rope use?

[Master] grins we know Shi does

Ilero (TMO)] (ooh, I had not considered that might be a useful skil. He does not, but he does have set traps? If he doesn't think he has the skil to do it right, he won't do it.)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (he has knife use)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (She does? Is Kel no tied up anymore? ;P )

[Master] Sorry Shur

[Kel (MarioCS)] Kel: Languages, Modern check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Kel (MarioCS)] Kel: Languages, Modern check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Kel (MarioCS)] Kel: Languages, Modern check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Kel (MarioCS)] Kel: Languages, Modern check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Kel (MarioCS)] Kel: Languages, Modern check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

Ilero (TMO)] (actually, no she doesn't)

Ilero (TMO)] :(

[Kel (MarioCS)] Totally ignore, wrong window to type into

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Master] that is shocking

Ilero (TMO)] (fire building)

[Kel (MarioCS)] Kel has escaped the rope, as he has both Rope Use and Escape

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Touche)

[Master] ok so Ilero has managed to damage their ship

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (But Shi does have that chain still. Does rope use/escape apply to chain?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] Then he tumbled into a hiding position (using Tumblig and HIding)

[Master] is anyone watching him? for him?

[Master] Ilero starts to head back to the shore? or to the knarr?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Shi would be)

[Ilero]] (TMO) retraces his route back to the knarr

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ready to send Fete to spot him if needed)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (i think we'd all be watching for them)

[Master] so moving towards the long ship takes (1d3) [1d3=1] 1 turns then cutting will take 1 turn and so moving back towards the knarr

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Dunno. If Kel was tied, Jenn might be more interested in him...)

[Master] he is lucky and makes it back in plenty of time

[Kel (MarioCS)] (Escape doesnt mention chains. i suppose its realy lockpicking?)

Ilero (TMO)] (it works for chains)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

Ilero (TMO)] (yah, he didn't want to lollygag and lose his waterwalking)

Ilero (TMO)] (no sewer walls here to climb on)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And can't exactly swim still so...)

[Kel (MarioCS)] brb

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] brb

[MarioCS] I am away from the keyboard.

[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] Lisa gets the sewer wall comment no one else does

Ilero (TMO)] (and everybody leaves)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ninja turtle?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] See anything of interest, Ilero?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (As I'm called away. Brbr too...)

[Carissa] I am away from the keyboard.

Ilero (TMO)] Not see cargo. See humans tied to oars. Also see many, many, many orcs.

Ilero (TMO)] About 100.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] alright i should be good for awhile

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] back

Ilero (TMO)] Hye also break boats so we can get away easy.

[Ilero]] (TMO) checks his knife edge for any dings he'll have to buff out.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (all 3 or just the one?)

Ilero (TMO)] (all 3)

Ilero (TMO)] (at least, that was my intent..)

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] yes to TMO you got a lot done faster than expected

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Nicely done.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Perhaps we can get ahead of them and warn the navy?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Much as I'd like them dead, that is a lot of orcs...

Ilero (TMO)] (see? not a crazy plan at all! Perfectly sane and normal!)

Ilero (TMO)] (for an 11th level thief)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] ..... [Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] well it's moments like this where you shine brightest :)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] at least you didn't fal :)

[MarioCS] I am back at the keyboard.

Ilero (TMO)] (but failure is always funny)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Also true. Sometimes :P)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Sorry, meant fall :) )

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (I still remember you falling out of the column haha :) )

Ilero (TMO)] (:D)

[Master] and so you make it through the night and the morning dawns with soft light

[Indigo (Lisa)] (brb)

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (One spell before they did)

[Master] Time of Day: 07:07 AM. Day 1 Trall, Bel {Mid Fall} 1st, 1267 TGR.

Marisu (TMO)] We're declining their request then?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze casts a spell against [Ilero]]: Goodberry: I turn (2d4) [2d4=2,2] 4 fresh berries into magical berries that keep me fed and heal 1 point of damage each. They stay good for (6+1) 7 days.

[Master] yes to Carissa?

[Kel (MarioCS)] Yay Ilero is a GoodBerry!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze casts a spell against [Ilero]]: Goodberry: I turn (2d4) [2d4=4,3] 7 fresh berries into magical berries that keep me fed and heal 1 point of damage each. They stay good for (6+1) 7 days.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Sorry that's all. Meant to do that long ago)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ok so now morning?)

[Ilero]] (TMO) is sweet and delicious and helps build strong bones.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Shi'Nynze modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hahaha)

[Master] morning

[Kel (MarioCS)] and makes a great mixer for mead when juiced

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I still am not a fan of their request, so I do still vote to decline it.

[Kel (MarioCS)] as do I

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (A good mead-ium for mead)

Ilero (TMO)] (need to set Marisu's spels)

Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Character sheet for [Marisu]] modified: Spells - CHANGED: Message -- # Memorized: 0 (+0), CHANGED: Sound Bubble -- # Memorized: 0 (+0), CHANGED: Sleep -- # Memorized: 2 (1), CHANGED: Armor -- # Memorized: 1 (0),

Ilero (TMO)] (done)

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero-flavored mead? Y'all have been at sea waaaaayyyyyy too long)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] lol

Ilero (TMO)] (oh, I almost forgot - from last week. Ilero has usually looked more asian than the pic I posted last week)

Ilero (TMO)] (?dl=0)

Ilero (TMO)] (again, possibly more good looking than Ilero actually is)

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (whew)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

Marisu (TMO)] If we're going to flee, then we should get as much of a head start as we can.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] flee! flee for our lives!

Marisu (TMO)] I don't know how long it will take them to repair Ilero's handiwork from last night.

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] i want to retrieve the humans but do not see how, with the orcs' numbers

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Kenna and I can certainly put good distance between us.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] With the help of others.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I can see no other way.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well, I suppose some might say cooperation might be a way, but I do not see it;

[Kel (MarioCS)] I hate those orcs, but is recuing the humans our responsibility? if we werent there, wouldnt they have been captured the same?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (if we both cast Wind Servant at once, do we get more speed? or is it better to go sequentially?)

[Master] they do not multiply

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (but do they add?)

[Master] grins

[Master] they do not stack

Marisu (TMO)] (sequentially)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (understood)

Marisu (TMO)] We can report them to the Dryads Lair navy

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Of course they aren't our responsibility, though I'm unsure if the rest feel the same...

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] reporting them would be a good thing

[Indigo (Lisa)] I would like to help them but with them tied to the oars, we would have to basically take the whole ship to be able to get to them. I think anyway

Marisu (TMO)] If we could rescue them, I woud say we do it. But I don't see any way for us to manage it.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] even if we did save them, where would be put them all? How would be feed them?

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) nothing i would love to do more, run a few through, if just for the practice. but not a hundred on three ships

Ilero (TMO)] If was only few orcs each boat woud have killd t'em all.

Ilero (TMO)] (backstabbackstabbackstab!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Agreed. Too foolish with that many....

Ilero (TMO)] Hye try make better decisions now.

[Kel (MarioCS)] (then make orc marrionettes)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (since theyre too big for hand puppets)

[Shurkural]] (TMO) slaps the back of his head.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Stirge puppets are enough. Orcs would smell)

[Indigo (Lisa)] )don't give him ideas ;) )

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] sad but true, we cannot directly save them

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Illero Backstab :) )

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Nor do I think we'd all agree on actions that may harm the ship and the captives...

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] So I suppose the only choice we can all agree on is to flee and put space between us?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] i agree

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] and report the threat

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (I'd like to think we were amazing and competent and could save them. And then I realize bob said 100 Orcs....Decisions decisions :)

Shurkural (TMO)] (/me slaps Hugh on the back of his head. :P )

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well last week he did state he didn't think we could handle 96 orcs so....)

[Indigo (Lisa)] The only other way to deal with this is to buy the slaves.

[Indigo (Lisa)] How much do human slaves sell for?

Shurkural (TMO)] (picture 60 arrows shot at us twice every round)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (how much was Indigo sold for?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] probablu more then we have on hand

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (brb again....)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] do we have enough personal money? the treasury is gone

[Master] Indigo was sold for 18 dilver pieces

[Carissa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] and last weelk you did not have everyone here

Shurkural (TMO)] (we don't have a lot of ranged attacks)

Shurkural (TMO)] (and ranged is king in sea battles)

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) checks pocked

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] i seem to have no money

[Kel (MarioCS)] i have this many "holds out pockets contents"

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I think Hugh has 100 GP on his personal pack, but that is in my personal notes and doesn't reflect on the in-game pack. So unless bob clears that, i'm broke

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we didn't really set up the party pack with travelling gold and gems)

[Kel (MarioCS)] can we buy all the slaves and one boat?

[Master] [Ilero]]'s Current Hit Points: adjusted to 35 (-12) by TMO - Moderately Wounded

Shurkural (TMO)] (what was that all about? I had pending damage?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] notes attached to the gp says goblin battle and loot

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] so, hey bob, wanna let me fly with that...?

Lisa is receiving the map basic knarr...

Lisa has received the map basic knarr.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (how much did the sails cost?)

Shurkural (TMO)] (who 'bought' them? Indigo or Peneope?)

[Master] Lisa knows better than anyone about how much you really have etc.

[Master] [Ilero]]'s Current Hit Points: adjusted to 47 (12) - Unharmed

[Kel (MarioCS)] even if we can buy them, we dont have anywhere to pu them

[Indigo (Lisa)] (well we didn't set up the party pack with a lot of cash listed)

[Kel (MarioCS)] unless we acquire a boat

[Indigo (Lisa)] (this was supposed to be a friendly little side trip)

[Master] smile a 3 hour tour

Shurkural (TMO)] Let's get going if we're going to go.

[Kel (MarioCS)] outting them onshore will just ead to them being recaptured

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Shi shall i cast first? are the sails ready?

[Indigo (Lisa)] We have to both row and sail to make the best time.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Sorry, Kel.

[Kel (MarioCS)] im on it

[Kel (MarioCS)] /mne straps into a seat, lashes Teb down, and gets ready to make way

Shurkural (TMO)] (Ilero takes the weakling seat)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Kenna Westfoot casts a spell against : Wind Servant: I conjure forth a wind servant for (6) 6 rounds.

[Kel (MarioCS)] Who's keeping stroke count? Penelope?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (shall i cast them all or are we waiting in between for things to happen?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] we need rhythm

Shurkural (TMO)] (we need soul)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (might as well and see where we are when it expires)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (harmonize!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Wu Sen for soul)

[Kel (MarioCS)] Who?

[Indigo (Lisa)] :)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (thanks, Lisa!)

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAwaNWGLM0c

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kel (MarioCS)] back just in time for a Wu Sen reference

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Wu who?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] how are we doing?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] well, we're still alive

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] so we got that going for us

Shurkural (TMO)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTwq1_9VH68

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcRRaXV-fg

Indigo (Lisa) checks spyglass at regular intervals

[Indigo (Lisa)] (smiles at Michael)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Let me know when you want me to take over, Kenna.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes we do

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] i still have two more casts once this one runs out

Marisu (TMO)] Trade off, so one of you isn't exhausted if they catch up to us.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (are they chasing?)

[Master] not yet

Marisu (TMO)] (yet)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze casts a spell against [Ilero]]: Wind Servant: I conjure forth a wind servant for (6) 6 rounds.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (For once Kennas ends)

Ilero (TMO)] (now has dry hair)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I thought we were going to Dryads Lair. Not dry hair...)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (LOL - nice)

[Master] grins

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Whew. Thought it'd fall flat)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Split some ends on that one)

[Master] I will say that by early evening you arrive at Berem

Ilero (TMO)] (phew)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (how far back are they?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Using just two wind servants?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (do we cast all the wind servants? or do we get enough of a lead with 2?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] ha

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Good question, Spring! ;))

[Master] yes to all of the castings

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Kenna Westfoot modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (noted)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Left us a bit winded. Got it)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Shi'Nynze modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (are they in sight with the spyglass?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I should hope not....)

[Master] no

Ilero (TMO)] (did we ever spot them?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (good question - if they couldn't even give chase that would be nice)

[Master] who wants to make that roll?

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXpRxzmawjw

Ilero (TMO)] (we missed out chance to extend the olive branch of peace, which would have eventually found the orcs joining the ranks of civilized nations, and an eventual fantastic United Nations... *sniff*)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (tmo cut their ropes)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes yes)

Ilero (TMO)] (yah, but might be easily repaired)

Ilero (TMO)] (all you have to do is attach a new rope)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but do they have rope skill nwp?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (too much to hope for a massive rope shortage just then)

Ilero (TMO)] (no telling! :)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] ("we can untie one of the prisoners or just not sail")

[Indigo (Lisa)] (want to roll tmo?)

Ilero (TMO)] (what die? d20?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] ("Guess we're stuck here.")

[Indigo (Lisa)] (a d20 or 100?)

[Master] grins, d20 for an encounter

Ilero (TMO)] [1d20]

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (As I doubt orc intelligence...)

Ilero (TMO)] (1d20) [1d20=1] 1

Ilero (TMO)] (g'night! I'm out! Enjoy your encounter!!)

[Master] ok

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Oh I thought it was for us ever seeing them today)

[Ilero]] (TMO) flees

[Master] LOL

Ilero (TMO)] (j/k)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well now you mention it I AM very tired...)

[Master] a d12 please TMO

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (It's a trap!)

Ilero (TMO)] (1d12) [1d12=5] 5

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] oh crap. i know this

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] lol shi

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] :)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (hahahahahahaha)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (5 * 8 orc appear)

Ilero (TMO)] (adds a 't' to "lol Shi")

[Master] anyone with navigation?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

Ilero (TMO)] (indigo?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oh heck no)

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Direction Sense check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Orienteering check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: Boating check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (no, me, i most wanted to diagnose people by looking at them)

Ilero (TMO)] (neither is appropriate, but might help)

[Master] for that I will give you

[Master] that Indigo spots a large chunk of ice floating down river

[Master] and he yells GIANTS!!!!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] And the coke spews acrros my desk J/K :)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I thought we were on the Water Wings. Not the Titanic)

Ilero (TMO)] Just not our day.

[Master] as there is a large ice floe coming down the river with two hill giants on top of it using long poles to guide it

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Iceberg carrying giants on a river outside of Bremen?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I don't even know what to say to this...

[Indigo (Lisa)] (busy river today)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] maybe they'll pass us and ask about the weather?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] can we wave and smile?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Never seen that before....

[Master] you have (1d20) [1d20=20] 20 turns before they smash into you

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] At least Hugh can speak Giant lol

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] because, really, that sounds kind of jolly

[Indigo (Lisa)] They must be going somewhere

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (...Titanic)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] okay we need to turn

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] if they are going to smash into us

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Indigo?

Indigo (Lisa) yells "pull to port side"

[Master] that worked out much better for you then it could have

[Penelope (Master)] HEAVE PORT

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] gee thanks bob :)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I remember the three of us vs almost 96 orcs :)

[Penelope (Master)] BEFORE YOU ARE SHORT

[Penelope (Master)] HEAVE

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Want me to try to push them away with a hand of water? Or fist?

[Penelope (Master)] HEAVE

[Penelope (Master)] PORT

[Penelope (Master)] PORT

[Penelope (Master)] MAYBE

[Penelope (Master)] MAYBE IF YOU TRY

[Penelope (Master)] YOU WILL SURVIVE

[Indigo (Lisa)] PORT

Indigo (Lisa) gives Penelope a look "Of course we will survive"

[Penelope (Master)] PORT FOR LIFE

[Penelope (Master)] OR THERE WILL BE STRIFE

[Penelope (Master)] HEAVE HO

[Penelope (Master)] HEAVE

[Penelope (Master)] HO

[Penelope (Master)] WE HAVE TO GO

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that should be the Bremen side I believe)

Penelope (Master) mutters to Indigo You need to give me more time for the chants

[Penelope (Master)] (actually starboard for Bremen)

[Penelope (Master)] CHANGE OF PLANS

[Penelope (Master)] HEAVE STARBOARD

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (LOL!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (oh I thought it was on the right when we were sailing upstream)

[Penelope (Master)] OR YOU WILL BE LEFT ONBOARD

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not now!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (drunkenly weaving back and forth across the river)

[Indigo (Lisa)] The iceberg will hit us

[Penelope (Master)] (yes but you are sailign downstream so it is on on the right, staroard)

[Penelope (Master)] WATCH THE ICE

[Penelope (Master)] IT WILL NOT BE NICE

[Indigo (Lisa)] (how can it be on the right both upstream and downstream?)

[Penelope (Master)] (it is on the western shore(

Ilero (TMO)] (time to put kids to bed)

[Penelope (Master)] Kids to Bed

Ilero (TMO)] (think you can live without my leadership for a bit? ;) )

[Penelope (Master)] row or no bread

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And so it's been said)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (So heed it or your dead)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] It is said

[Penelope (Master)] so let it be written

[Penelope (Master)] so let it be said

[Penelope (Master)] do what I daid

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] it is said

[Penelope (Master)] do what I said

[Penelope (Master)] if you want to sleep in a bed

[Penelope (Master)] HEAVE HO

[Penelope (Master)] TO THE WESTERN SHORE

[Penelope (Master)] IF YOU WANT MORE

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hmm.. I was going to go with: so let it be written now here is a kitten with mittens.)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (hehehe)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Even if your backs are sore?

[Penelope (Master)] DIG IN TIGHT

[Penelope (Master)] OR THE CATS WILL BITE

[Penelope (Master) (to mharm-15549 only)] EWAVES HER CAT O NINE TAILS

[Penelope (Master)] /ME WAVES HER CAT O NINE TAILS

Kel (MarioCS) unlashes himself from the seat, just in case...

[Penelope (Master)] ELVES ARE COMING

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (probably a good idea)

[Penelope (Master)] YOU BEST BE MOVING

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Elves? I thought you said giants.

[Master] WHO WANTS TO MAKE A CHECK

[Master] sorry

[Kel (MarioCS)] NOT ME

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I WANT TO MAKE A CHECK!!!

[Kel (MarioCS)] lol

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hahaha)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] :)

[Master] who is making the check for the ice floating towards you

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (1d20) [1d20=9] 9

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (LOL)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I MADE THE CHECK!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (What do ice bergs need money for?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (nice!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Insurance

[Master] ok

[Kel (MarioCS)] (took two reads)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha!)

[Master] so you make the slide to the west

[Master] as the iceberg floats downstream with the two hill giants on board

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) gives a cheery smile and a wave

[Indigo (Lisa)] Their feet must be really cold

[Kel (MarioCS)] (dont hill giants like orcs?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And green dragons, right?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (dragons, hill giants, elves, something like that)

[Master] and as the ice ship floats on downstream

[Kel (MarioCS)] Kel: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Master] you manage to pull into Berem in the evening

[Kel (MarioCS)] did they even llok our way?

[Kel (MarioCS)] anyting on the iceberg

[Master] and the northern edge of Domvile

[Master] they looked at you but they are not maneuverable enough to come after you

[Kel (MarioCS)] tx!

[Kel (MarioCS)] ill be glad to feel dry land again

[Kel (MarioCS)] (its been one day, right?)

[Master] yes

[Kel (MarioCS)] excellent!

[Master] Time of Day: 07:07 PM. Day 1 Trall, Bel {Mid Fall} 1st, 1267 TGR.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Admittedly, sailing is losing it's thrill for me.

Indigo (Lisa) explains to the dockmaster about the three long ships with the orcs and the prisoners

[Master] very well

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I would not worry Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] Why not?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] they likely just decided to head west through the hills

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] sell them to the dragons

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] or to the bugbears

[Indigo (Lisa)] And leave their ships?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (gee that makes me feel better )

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] only one ship at the most

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] but we are safe

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you did a good job

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not sure about that.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] only afew more days and we will be back in Dryads Lair

[Kel (MarioCS)] Master Indigo, I think youre awful hard on yourself

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] that is the final leg

[Kel (MarioCS)] we sailed away safely, what else was there?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes, you are right.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Tempted though it was, it would not have been pleasant to fight so many orcs.

[Kel (MarioCS)] We all want to save the world, but you have to choose when and where

[Indigo (Lisa)] A captain's first responsibility is to the ship

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] As Kel said, we are safe. That is a success.

[Indigo (Lisa)] We could have lost her in a fight

Kel (MarioCS) nods

[Indigo (Lisa)] Then we would have had to walk back

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Or by an iceberg...

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] smiles I am glad to have you agree with me Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's still not nice to think about the people

[Kel (MarioCS)] of maybe we could have rammed at least one of them

[Indigo (Lisa)] But you are right

[Indigo (Lisa)] All of you

Kel (MarioCS) looks begrudginly at Jenn

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] No one should have their freedom taken from them, but we can only do so much.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] it seems we are at a good point to pause

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] sad. true

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you are back in

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Domvile and ready to move south quickly

[Master] it seems we are at a good point to pause

[Master] Domvile and ready to move south quickly

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I think si :)

[Lisa] sounds good

[Master] a little early but

[Master] next week year end awards

[Master] and then making it back to Dryads Lair

[Carissa] I'm falling asleep.I'm okay with it.
