[Michael] I didn't see about a lord pendergrast, i'll search him real quick on the site
[Michael] Wow, we've only visited 9 districts out of 23? We need to have an exploration day sometime for a district
[Master] grins
[Michael] Maybe a random bonus game somtime?
[Master] we can ask when people are avaialble
[Michael] Cool
[Master] it might be good to do for a quest thing
[Master] I have ideas
[Master] that can work out just about any time no matter where various characters are out on the list

[Mario] Hello everyone, happy Friday!
[Lisa] It is definitely that

[Lisa] Bob, you can take off the update your setting message now that we will never have to update again
[Master] yeap
[Lisa] that is a nice feeling - no more updates
[Master] and will help with maps also
[Master] Mario I re-wrote the update package to increase the memory usage
[Master] and John just said he will not be in tonight
[Mario] yay! lets hope I can stay connected tonight
[Master] it should
[Master] but as soon as Michael is back in
[Mario] i rerouted the network connection so the dog wont trip on it
[Master] that is nice
[Master] but now the cats will chew on it I am guessing?
[Mario] lo, its taped down
[Mario] funny story: the cable did get chewed, but Coal did it, not the cats
[Lisa] cfats have better things to do
[Master] HAH
[Mario] we left his crate on the cable, and idle minds...
[Mario] so now i have two cables coupled, and the issue last week was Coal kept bumping th coupler
[Mario] im waiting for Robert to brint his terminator down: i have cable and two ends
[Master] I'll be back
[Master] that was supposed to be a jok
[Master] joke
[Lisa] lol
[Mario] ah....come tickle me..
[Mario] lol
[Mario] Bobby, i do need to come visit you in the library. re: Oculus Rift
[Mario] i am presenting to my L&D team in Cali in a month on augmented reality and learning
[Master] yeah I am taking it to work tomorrow morning
[Master] and how long of a presentation?
[Master] I have it all here at the house now
[Master] did a presentation today about it
[Mario] i only have half an hour. i have the ViewMaster from XMas, and im gonna order some form of google glass
[Master] 40 minutes
[Master] LOL
[Master] LOL
[Master] don't
[Master] not on the google glass
[Master] and not on the viewmaster
[Mario] sorry not glass, Cardboard
[Master] never have enough time
[Master] and I have both Cardboard floating around here and at work
[Master] and Merge which is a better version
[Master] and yes we need to talk
[Master] can I just do the talk for you?
[Master] you invite me as a guest speaker?
[Mario] a demo of whats possible "imagine a front desk agent sees the software, and dots appear on items of interest. pointing to the dot, and clicking
[Mario] opens the next screen
[Mario] so they virtually see
[Mario] lolol. wanna come out to Cali??
[Master] you pay the way I will
[Master] I am going out there in late October I think
[Master] but also I could do it remotely
[Mario] lol, i have to fly coach this trip, so, um...
[Mario] i lost all my status, no more free upgrades
[Master] Internet Librarian I am submitting this presentation to give there
[Master] Monterey
[Lisa] get the front row in coach on virgin - free drinks and movies
[Mario] our office is in Irvine, south of LA, i fly into Santa Ana, John Wayne
[Master] I am giving a different presentation on Wednesday for the State of Florida
[Lisa] no virgin there I don't think
[Mario] thaks Lisa. I had status on Delta, and was upgraded like 80-85%
[Master] LA has a distinct lack of virgins
[Mario] i havent traveled in over a year, so im not even Silver
[Mario] ughhh!
[Mario] once you had a taste of the good life...
[Lisa] that sucks
[Mario] ya, Delta is a preferred vendor for Starwood
[Mario] im in Zone Two now, ZINE TWO!!!!
[Mario] and it only goes to Zone Three
[Lisa] lol
[Lisa] zone 1 is special - I do like moving in front of everyone
[Mario] lol, i kid, but it is sobering, esp when an upgrade was almost always guaranteed
[Lisa] I am United & Hilton but like you will probably lose my perks this year
[Mario] do you travel, for work?
[Lisa] it comes and goes
[Lisa] was a lot for a while and now I am grounded
[Master] until summer or fall though right?
[Lisa] me?
[Master] yeah
[Lisa] don't know - someone keeps talking denver again
[Lisa] feel like I live there now
[Mario] may i ask what you do?
[Master] if you lose your Hilton points maybe Mario can help jumpstart your Starwood points
[Lisa] historical research
[Lisa] I travel where the documents are
[Mario] oh cool!
[Lisa] rarely exciting places
[Mario] ive been to Brookfield, WI
[Mario] Sheraton opens in the parking of a mall
[Lisa] I have been to madison
[Mario] Where Sears is the Anchor
[Lisa] you work with hotels?
[Mario] i was a traier for Starwood Hotels, soom to be Marriott. I went to all new openings, to train the staff how to use the Property Management System (PMS)
[Lisa] wow
[Mario] now i create the learnings, mostly Self Paced Trainings, like an interactive PowerPoint
[Lisa] no wonder you had serious travel perks
[Mario] so i work from home now
[Lisa] michael posted
[Lisa] okay cant get klooge to update and stuff. i wont be on tonight guys. see ya next time.
[Master] that sucks
[Lisa] he is not a man of persistence
[Mario] lolol
[Master] he was on early and said there would be lots of on and off until 8 pm his time
[Master] TMO will be in will update after dinner and log in
[Lisa] so we regroup in a bit?
[Master] we can continue
[Master] Mario what do you want to do to move Barbers forward
[Master] and Lisa is there anything you want to do before dinner?
[Mario] personally, i think a long trek to Blum Wood is the wrong direction. We have access to the pond (kinda), and we left quickly after a short conversation
[Lisa] not unless you had scrolls
[Master] no to more scrolls
[Mario] Anton has INT and WIS of 7, and his faith is siply what he picked up in passing, so when it comes to religion, he is NOT the person to lead
[Mario] he literally grew up in a barn
[Master] the access to the pond is apparently not available to you because you do not have anyone of high enough level to get past
[Master] PLUS you did already head north from there
[Master] and you need wilderness
[Mario] y, we did, but just a days travel
[Master] which is north of the wall
[Mario] im totes cool with going on, i am
[Master] good
[Master] so heading north
[Master] I am going to test the nicer map with just you Mario
[Master] how is that?
[Mario] thei can see it
[Master] good so it was the memory issue for your past update
[Mario] wow, very nice
[Master] so you are there in Anginn
[Master] when the morning comes
[Lisa] (you could just barge your way into the pond and see what happens)
[Lisa] (what - lightning's going to strike?)
[Mario] )exactly! thats what i thought of!!)
[Lisa] (this is how my characters get into trouble)
[Mario] (we deflected cuz of some unknown woman on the side of the road?!)
[Master] grins
[Mario] i believe the term was 'tart'
[Master] at both of those comments
[Mario] i was diggin how those guys were trying to get a rise out of us at the inn
[Mario] Leave it to Bobby
[Master] it is why I am here
[Master] oh and did you both see the message about the first friday in March?
[Mario] i did not
[Master] will start late
[Lisa] march seems a long way away
[Master] two weeks
[Master] so Mario plans?
[Master] looking at the map
[Lisa] you didn't give us the map
[Mario] well, our next goal was to see the animal trainer in Northam
[Lisa] I like how you said the thief sent people to the beach looking for the unicorn
[Mario] Anton 'heard' someone mention there was a competent one there
[Lisa] very much so
[Lisa] to save time - her name was Laika
[Master] just want to know if there is anything else you want to do Mario or just CLICK to get to Northam
[Master] and yes talk it through with Lisa about how to approach her
[Lisa] Shurkural and Hugh would know her
[Master] there were issues last time
[Lisa] a small group was sent to find a werewolf there
[Lisa] one character, Imari, who is not with us any more didn't get along with her so tensions
[Lisa] then they found out that Laika was a werewolf but a friend to the town and was not the one doing any harm
[Lisa] what does the group do?
[Lisa] arguments ensued
[Mario] i guess Shur kills her
[Lisa] chases involving ladies and animals
[Lisa] no no
[Lisa] Imari wanted to be harsh
[Mario] chases of ladies and animals? and thats supposed to be a negative?!
[Lisa] Hugh wanted complete leniency and to help her get away
[Lisa] lol
[Lisa] bears and werewolves in lady form? unchanged werewolf lady?
[Lisa] and cats
[Mario] you had me, ntil you said Cats
[Lisa] cats bears and werewolves oh my
[Mario] lol
[Master] I resisted that joke the entire story arc thank you very much
[Lisa] Shur was for turning her in to let her tell the truth but not doing any vigilante justice
[Lisa] that view prevailed and she was brought home
[Lisa] the mayor who hired them however - as a side note
[Lisa] has a son who is a wolfwere
[Lisa] that's right Bob?
[Lisa] he takes care of them rather
[Lisa] hates his father and hides in the woods and confused the issue
[Mario] thats quite a momory
[Mario] and a memory too
[Lisa] It's stories - I remember stories
[Lisa] how I got through history - just listened to the stories and I remember
[Master] yes to Mario, Lisa is better than I at remembering all these things
[Mario] i bet youre great at Jeopardy
[Master] but the details are right
[Master] the son is "a chosen one" who fights for the animals
[Lisa] lol - used to play jeopardy in a bar for money with a group of friends
[Master] and the animal trainer dispised Imari for riding a hippogriff instead of letting it fly free
[Mario] nice!
[Master] brb dogs
[Mario] i can understand Laika then...
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Mario] if we mention that Imari is no longer with us, will that gain us an edge with Laika, do you think?]
[Lisa] anyway - so Laika will probably not be thrilled but Imari isn't there so you should be okay if you are nice to her
[Lisa] I would wait to see if she mentions her - no need to irritate her if you don't have to :)
[Lisa] but that's just me
[Master] mentions who? Imari?
[Mario] true true
[Lisa] yes
[Master] so new map then
[Lisa] those maps are loading sooo fast now!
[Master] grins
[Master] Mario this is a good example for you
[Master] Lisa you know how to use the Pointer Tool
[Master] to point out to Mario which homes are which?
[Mario] i did see the legend had numbers for homes, but none on the map...
[Lisa] test
[Mario] test back at ya
[Lisa] (sorry - my internet dropped)
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DL-Northam
[Master] so Lisa do you want to use the Point Tool to show which places are which?
[Master] then Mario can use it in the future as needed
[Lisa] I can get the pointer but not sure if you can tell what I am doing with it
[Master] I see it
[Master] Mario do you see that yellow dot on the map?
[Lisa] this is Laika
[Mario] i see a green dot
[Mario] its moviong...
[Master] no to Lisa next one up
[Lisa] see! bad memory
[Master] that is the Inn
[Lisa] is that the bar?
[Lisa] yeah!
[Lisa] I know where alcohol is served
[Master] LOL
[Mario] rofl
[Master] and the church is where?
[Master] that is Laika
[Lisa] this is laika then - with her places for animals in back
[Lisa] mayor?
[Master] nope
[Lisa] you do it
[Master] up at the end of the street
[Master] but Mario you see how that works?
[Master] you click on the map
[Master] type p
[Master] you get the pointer
[Lisa] I wasn't even on this adventure
[Master] and you can indicate to people things
[Mario] ah, cool, ill be sure to forget it, as im prome to do...
[Mario] but that is cool
[Master] go on and try
[Mario] ill have to use it
[Master] it helps when things get confusing
[Master] guess which is the church
[Mario] p
[Master] click the map then hit p
[Master] there you go
[Mario] BAR!!!
[Mario] got it
[Lisa] LOL
[Master] good
[Mario] thats Laika's
[Mario] church?
[Mario] ah so once i have the plus sign indicator, i can move it?
[Master] yeap
[Mario] do i have to click, for others to see it?
[Master] to show where you want people to move their icons, what to look for etc.
[Master] nope
[Master] we see it as soon as you hit the p
[Master] so let me check the time you get into town
[Master] you are coming in on the road to the left of the map
[Master] that leads down south
[Mario] I am back at the keyboard.
[Anton (Mario)] Lets stop in on your old frind, Laika, and se if she can help us
[Master] Time of Day: 12:04 PM. Day 25 Mid ___ se, Fey {Mid Winter} 25th, 1266 TGR.
[Master] and now you have to hit p again to turn off your pointer Mario, grins
[Anton (Mario)] done
[Master] yeap
[Master] Anton moved 15'04".
[Master] I put Anton on the Northam map
[Master] so you can move from place to place
[Anton (Mario)] seen
[Anton (Mario)] Anton moved 10'11".
[Anton (Mario)] cool
[Anton (Mario)] (ok, does she know us because we're part of Branwyn's crew?)
[Master] Spring just messaged me she cannot make it tonight
[Lisa] that sucks
[Master] and she would know the Dragonslayers because of your emblems
[Anton (Mario)] ugh
[Anton (Mario)] aha, tx
[Lisa] laika doesn't know branwyn at all
[Master] Shur is there
[Master] one round behind
[Master] she knows Shur
[Master] and would see her lurking in the back
[Lisa] and Hugh
[Master] same as Hugh and Kenna
[Master] then I will tell them you are feeding hungry squirrels and such on the road
[Master] what I just sent to Spring
[Anton (Mario)] lol, ok
[Anton (Mario)] "knock knock"
[Master] no answer
[Anton (Mario)] (damn, i was gonna say Interupting Cow)
[Anton (Mario)] Ill have alook around back, to the north
[Anton (Mario)] Anton moved 40'02".
Laika Frost #3 (Master) looks up
[Laika Frost #3 (Master)] Can I help you?
[Anton (Mario)] (M or F?)
[Laika Frost (Master)] Female
[Laika Frost (Master)] (and Mike just called out sick/tired)
[Anton (Mario)] Fair Lady, I come in search of Laika the famed Animal Trainer
Laika Frost (Master) grunts
[Anton (Mario)] )sick AND tired?!)
[Laika Frost (Master)] That would be me
[Anton (Mario)] Lady Laika, the Dragin Slayers seek you wisdom
Laika Frost (Master) scowls
[Anton (Mario)] We need guidance, nd only a wise one like you can assist
Laika Frost (Master) looking around at yoru group spotting Shur in the far back
Laika Frost (Master) shaking her head
[Laika Frost (Master)] why would you come back here?
[Anton (Mario)] We are in dire need, and we seek an audience with the only one who can help
[Laika Frost (Master)] I hope you do not mean for me to capture the hippogriff that fled your group I see
[Anton (Mario)] I understand The Dragon Slayers had a rift with you, but we saw our error, and that person is no longer a Dragon Slayer
[Anton (Mario)] We do not, we have no need for such amajestic beast
[Anton (Mario)] ( i want to throw out some Animal Lore, to impress her. Do i need to roll?)
Laika Frost (Master) staring at you
[Laika Frost (Master)] (basic knowledge no need for a check, specialized stuff yes)
[Anton (Mario)] lets go specialized, since i have the skill)
[Laika Frost (Master)] (if you roll you are trying to show really obscure stuff off)
[Laika Frost (Master)] go for it
[Anton (Mario)] Anton: Animal Lore check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 9!!
[Anton (Mario)] of course
[Anton (Mario)] so, um, your horse seems weak... (LOL)
[Laika Frost (Master)] (just means you got something wrong in the details about an obscure animal, the male is red instead of female, for example)
[Anton (Mario)] Good Lady, we seek guidance, to find a creature so rare and magical, anly few have gazed on its hide
Laika Frost (Master) raised eyebrow
[Laika Frost (Master)] the Phoenix?
[Anton (Mario)] even rarer, have you ever set eyes on a horned horse? a unicorn?
Laika Frost (Master) gestures around
[Laika Frost (Master)] looks back at Anton
[Laika Frost (Master)] the Unicorn is a rare creature but not as rare as the never dying bird
[Laika Frost (Master)] why do you look for a unicorn?
Anton (Mario) nods, "yes, my Lady, you are right. I have never laid eyes on neither"
[Anton (Mario)] We seek to gather one single hair from a unicorn, so as to keep Peace in all of Dryad's Liar (??)
[Laika Frost (Master)] one strand of hair? what good will that do
[Laika Frost (Master)] and how will you know the hair you find is from a unicorn?
[Anton (Mario)] one hair can do wonders, keep the people free, stop a rebellion. just one, and without harm to the animal, as it is fair and noble
Laika Frost (Master) reaches up and PLUCKS a hair from her head and hands it out to Anton
[Anton (Mario)] we shalll tak ethe hair ourselves, if can find one. I assur eyou we mean it no harm
[Laika Frost (Master)] you mean no harm you say as you speak of TAKING from a noble creature
[Laika Frost (Master)] Stealing
[Anton (Mario)] yes m'Lady. one hair, which grows back in (X) days, so as to keep a people from chaos. Is it not a worthy cause?
[Laika Frost (Master)] (still typing?)
[Anton (Mario)] im donr
[Laika Frost (Master)] (I can see when you are typing it showed you still doing something, sorry)
[Laika Frost (Master)] She frowns
[Laika Frost (Master)] what is this chaos you seek to prevent?
[Laika Frost (Master)] how long will you be gone
[Laika Frost (Master)] where do you seek?
[Laika Frost (Master)] what will you do when you get there
[Laika Frost (Master)] how will you get the hair
[Anton (Mario)] Some folk have lost faith in the Truly Good of the (eatrh.terra??) If we can restore the faith demonstrating the good of this creature, by displaying its single strand of hair, all will be well.
[Anton (Mario)] We come to you to see where we can best find this specimen
[Laika Frost (Master)] why should I help you? I could just go do this myself
[Lisa] (no one packed scissors)
[Laika Frost (Master)] (firing questions at you direcly quickly to trip you up)
[Anton (Mario)] We shall approach the animal, and it wil know we mean it no harm, as we are pure in our intentions. We shall cut one single hair, and be gone, never to pester the steed again
[Anton (Mario)] i have been in the company of animals all my life(!!), and I can calm an animal, as it knows i am of good
[Anton (Mario)] (ugh)
[Laika Frost (Master)] So you are saying that I could go find this unicorn convince him to give me a hair and I would save the city?
[Anton (Mario)] you would be saving more than just the city. You would be recuing Humanity from the fringes of Chaos
[Anton (Mario)] *rescuing
[Master] Branwyn XP award: 500. Next level in 39277.
[Master] Anton XP award: 500. Next level in 27717.
[Lisa] (oh I thought that was the laying it on super thick XP award :D )
[Anton (Mario)] (rofl!!)
[Laika Frost (Master)] (lol the less than four players bonus, I forgot to give it out back at 7)
[Lisa] (I am enjoying it immensely)
Laika Frost (Master) squints at Anton and then nods
[Laika Frost (Master)] Very well
[Laika Frost (Master)] I will go get a hair from a unicorn
[Anton (Mario)] (i hope this is at least kinda in character for Anton. He can be a schmoozer, ...i hope)
[Laika Frost (Master)] and save humanity
[Laika Frost (Master)] (totally up to you)
[Laika Frost (Master)] Thank you for telling me about such a quest
[Anton (Mario)] Good Lady, we do not ask for you to complete our task. We are gracious for simply your knowledge
[Laika Frost (Master)] so you want to use my knowledge so you can go be famous for saving humanity?
[Laika Frost (Master)] (grins, spin ThAT one)
Anton (Mario) looks sheepish "yes, i see you may garner al the credit, as we do not care for that. We want Peace"
[Anton (Mario)] * I see, you may*
[Laika Frost (Master)] Then you can go home knowing your task it done
[Laika Frost (Master)] when I am done here with this griffon I will go look for the hair
[Anton (Mario)] Fair Maiden, how shall we collect the hair?
[Laika Frost (Master)] then I will go waive it around in the city
[Lisa] (the unicorn hair - long may it wave)
[Anton (Mario)] (lol)
[Anton (Mario)] Lady Laika, we need the hair, in our hands, to complete the ceremony that will keep us at peace.
Laika Frost (Master) snorts
[Anton (Mario)] you can attend the ceremony, as our esteemed and Gracious Hero, and it will be known to all Dryad's Liar, that Lady Laika is our saving Grace
[Laika Frost (Master)] what do you propose to give me in exchange for my knowlege then?
[Anton (Mario)] LET TODAY BE KNOWN AS LADY LAIKA DAY!
Laika Frost (Master) squints
[Laika Frost (Master)] you are serious aren't you
[Anton (Mario)] what do ask for such a dubious quest?
[Anton (Mario)] yoor name all o=ver Dryads Liar seems like reward enough, All will flick to seek you for knowledge
[Anton (Mario)] your name will be cast over hill and dale, Laika! Laika!
[Anton (Mario)] None will be grander
[Anton (Mario)] ( Anton should get a +1 in CHR for this!!)
[Laika Frost (Master)] I am famous enough
[Anton (Mario)] yes, your good name brought us to you
[Lisa] (brb)
[Laika Frost (Master)] how do I trust that you will do what you say?
[Laika Frost (Master)] You still have not convinced me on why TAKING is what you intend
[Anton (Mario)] We are Dragon Slayers. On your insistance, we relesed the Hippogriff. We have no reson to lie to you, good Woman. It is beneath us
[Laika Frost (Master)] THat is a lie
[Laika Frost (Master)] you did not release the hippogriff
Anton (Mario) nods True. We have no intention of returning said hair. But even the blind man can see that one hair to saive Humaity, it is agreeable
[Laika Frost (Master)] your friend road off on it
[Anton (Mario)] Good Lady, We are not in possession of a hyppogriff
Laika Frost (Master) frowns
[Laika Frost (Master)] do you think I am stupid?
Anton (Mario) nods Tis true, but once we realized the err of our ways, it was gone
[Laika Frost (Master)] just because your friend is not here does not mean you released the hippogriff
[Laika Frost (Master)] or do you wish to swear a binding oath with Uncle Appleby that what you say is true
Anton (Mario) seriuos "No, m'Lady, not for a split second, that we think you a fool. Only utmost respect" /bows
[Lisa] (b)
[Anton (Mario)] I do no know of Uncle Abbleby's, but I will swear an oath if you wish
[Laika Frost (Master)] I will take you there now
[Anton (Mario)] as you wish, m"lady
Laika Frost (Master) picks up a large steak and THROWS it towards teh back barn door
[Laika Frost (Master)] STAY - HOLD
[Laika Frost (Master)] SQUAWK SQUAWK
Anton (Mario) raises an eyebrow
[Laika Frost (Master)] NO HOLD
[Laika Frost (Master)] she turns back to you
[Lisa] (mario - you know Uncles are priests?)
[Laika Frost (Master)] we will see if he has learned
[Master (to GM only)] Laika Frost moved 19'03".
[Master (to GM only)] Laika Frost moved 71'05".
[Master] Anton moved 63'04".
[Anton (Mario)] (im all im now...!)
[Master] Laika Frost and Anton moved 49'09".
[Lisa] (what I said about lightning before ...)
[Master] before you go in the church
[Master] wry grin
[Master] do you want to discuss what you will actually swear to?
[Master] as if you break your oath
[Anton (Mario)] as you wish, m'Lady
[Master] any other priest of the Kayugan faith will only need to look at you and see your mark of oath breaking
[Master] like a glowing light on your forehead
[Master] I will refill my drink as you two discuss
[Lisa] (which is half our household :) )
[Anton (Mario)] ( in my best Daffy Duck "consequesces Shmonsequenses)
[Anton (Mario)] (can this true, if i break the oath?)
[Lisa] ehhh - it is an oath breaker's mark - it is dishonorable
[Lisa] priests are everywhere - they will talk
[Anton (Mario)] (ok, so as long as we do as we say with the hair, im cool...right?)
[Lisa] but it isn't going to save anyone
[Anton (Mario)] um, ya, but saving huminty, isnt that up for interpretation?)
[Lisa] not really
[Lisa] lol
[Anton (Mario)] (i mean, if we dont kill an ant, who's to say that didnt save..something?)
[Lisa] it saves something but it doesn't save humanity
[Anton (Mario)] (anton is not big on faith, so he's ready to get this done, for the good of the household)
[Anton (Mario)] (which may be to his dismay)
[Lisa] you could have just asked and said please
[Lisa] lol
[Anton (Mario)] (his WIS is not high, so he may truly feel this is right)
[Master] b
[Anton (Mario)] (in hindsight, yes, i could have!)
[Lisa] I would argue that it is not good for the household to have an oathbreaker at parties living at the house
[Master] and you have two or three things you could worry about
[Master] what you need the hair for
[Master] that you released the hippogriff
[Master] that you will not harm the unicorn
[Lisa] I would hope that not harming the unicorn is a given
[Anton (Mario)] (ok, did we release the hippogriff?)
[Lisa] no
[Anton (Mario)] (Dman it!)
[Lisa] Imari took him with her back to her homeland
[Anton (Mario)] (but if its not with us, and we took the word of the owner...)
[Lisa] so it IS true that the hippogriff is no longer confined in the city in dryads lair
[Anton (Mario)] (Anton SUX as a diplomat!!)
[Master] fits right into the group
[Master] grins
[Anton (Mario)] (INT and WIS of 7 will do that you ya)
[Anton (Mario)] to ya
[Master] I am not trying to rush you
[Master] wnat you to think it out
[Master] between the two of you what will do the best to further the mission and the story
[Lisa] you are getting the hair for a bunch of mages so they can make a magic item and they will give us a reward
[Anton (Mario)] (i have to walk Coal. can we return here after the other story arc?)
[Master] and what you feel comfortable about swearing an oath to
[Master] of course
[Master] go
[Lisa] you can't really get more mercenary than that
[Anton (Mario)] (lets do that)
[Anton (Mario)] (i will come true if i have to, and thats the truth)
[Lisa] I just don't want to see you get whacked for no good reason
[Lisa] go walk puppy
[Anton (Mario)] he's young, although the longest surviving of any of my characters!)
[Lisa] wow
[Master] grins yeah tells you about his previous luck
[Anton (Mario)] "Blackie fall down, go squoosh"
[Master] go walk the dead dinosaur
[Anton (Mario)] lol brb
[Master] actually dead ancient fern
[Lisa] brb
[Lisa] b
[Master] so
[Lisa] yes?
[Master] things in the house
[Master] questions? lunch with Branadarus
[Master] there is the dinner
[Master] if you want to do that on your own or hope that TMO shows up here to participate also
[Master] and or Indigo
[Lisa] we had the other group come back at lunch
[Master] yes
[Lisa] is he having trouble getting in?
[Master] has not returned yet
[Master] that I know of
[Master] but the statelite feed is fuzzy right now
[Master] will have to check the tracking chip
[Lisa] smiles
[Lisa] whatever you want to do
[Lisa] Indigo was kind of in the middle of a conversation on the website
[Master] I think keeping INdigo's story in one spot makes sense so we leave that there on the site
[Master] and do Branwyn with ...... who ever you wish
[Lisa] we can out off pendergast if you want
[Lisa] howard did bring that crystal ball home
[Master] there you go
[Master] you can learn about that
[Branwyn (Lisa)] ok
Howard Plum (Master) hands Branwyn a large felt bag
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What is this?
[Howard Plum (Master)] /large bulge inside
[Howard Plum (Master)] It is the crystal Ball you requested
[Howard Plum (Master)] I borrowed it from the Mage Guild
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Did I?
[Howard Plum (Master)] You said you wished you had a crystal ball
[Howard Plum (Master)] so I went and got this for you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, Jennevive mentioned that it would be useful, but I've never used one before.
[Howard Plum (Master)] They appear to be mostly straight forward
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "thank you. That was very kind."
[Howard Plum (Master)] you use them to look at things
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Have you used one before?
[Howard Plum (Master)] apprentices are not allowed to use the magic items
[Branwyn (Lisa)] let's take it out and look at it.
[Howard Plum (Master)] where? in your labratory?
Branwyn (Lisa) clears coffee table in the salon
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh right here. It's a crystal ball. It's not going to explode or anything.
[Howard Plum (Master)] I don't think they can can they?
Branwyn (Lisa) murmurs "At least I hope not"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think so.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't know any spells that go with them.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Should we just stare at it and concentrate very hard on Joyclin?
[Howard Plum (Master)] I think that is how it works
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Seems like it wouldn't work, but we have magic in us. Maybe that is enough.
Branwyn (Lisa) gets down on the floor so she is lower and eye level to the crystal ball
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Okay, down here and take my hand.
[Howard Plum (Master)] This is the most common form of SCf)'ing device: a crystal sphere about 6 inches in diameter. A wizard can use the device 10 see over virtually any distance or into other planes of existence. The user of a crysTul ball must Icnow the subject to be viewed. Knowledle can be from personal acqWlintanee. possession of personal belongings. a likeness of the object. or accumulllted information. Knowledge, Tllther than distance. is the key 10 success at location.
[Howard Plum (Master)] (horrible OCR job)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Close your eyes and think of nothing but joyclin
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she has no knowledge - should be great)
Howard Plum (Master) closes eyes and thinks of joyclin
Branwyn (Lisa) does same letting the thought fill her mind
Branwyn (Lisa) but sadly she cannot picture the place
[Howard Plum (Master)] Ummm if we close our eyes who will look in the crystal ball?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] after a bit she opens her eyes and gazes into the crystal ball
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Shhh
Howard Plum (Master) nodding
[Howard Plum (Master)] (20% chance of it working, go on and roll)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d20) [1d20=13] 13
[Howard Plum (Master)] (that would be a d100 not d20)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thought I did roll d100 - weird)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=46] 46
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (wrong cube)
[Howard Plum (Master)] (and wow you got almost the exact same percentage overall both times)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (can we make the first result go to the second die?)
[Master] so the crystal ball continues to be filled with emptiness
[Master] Aunt Jennevive moved 10'02".
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs "Just like the seance"
Aunt Jennevive (Master) wanders in
[Master] Branwyn moved 51'02".
[Master] Howard Plum moved 27'03".
[Master] Aunt Jennevive moved 11'00".
Lisa is receiving the map New Residence second floor...
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] New experiment?
Lisa has received the map New Residence second floor.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Failed experiment. I can't get this thing to work.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Who did you look for?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I want to try my tower. Let's try again.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I tried to see Joyclin. Now let me try home.
Branwyn (Lisa) closes her eyes and pictures her lovely tower in the Mist
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Mist! damn Mist)
Branwyn (Lisa) after a bit she opens them
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=19] 19
[Master] still nothing
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Mist. Why did I try in the Mist? Silly.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Who are you looking for in Joyclin?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This will work
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Lord Branadarus' dining room
Branwyn (Lisa) takes a deep breath and tries again
Branwyn (Lisa) slowly opens her eyes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=12] 12
[Master] still nothing
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think it's broken
[Master] Is Lord Branadarus at home?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Is Lord Branadarus at home?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The last place I have been to and is not in the Mist. What is wrong?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't know where he is. I wasn't picturing huim. I was picturing the room.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I always thought they were for spying on people
[Branwyn (Lisa)] They can't just be for bad things like spying.
Aunt Jennevive (Master) smiles
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you are a true believer
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Why don't you try it?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I agree that you can use a tool for many things
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] It will not work for me
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I do not think
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not your kind of magic?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] but there is no one I want to look for
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It doesn't seem to be mine either
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] for you to bring up for me
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So I can look for people?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] did you try to look for someone you know well?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let me think of Indigo
[Master] a soft light glows inthe ball
Branwyn (Lisa) closes her eyes again and smiles as she thinks of her friend
[Master] and shows him riding on a horse talking to someone in a waggon
Branwyn (Lisa) and opens
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=89] 89
[Master] the snow is bright around them
[Master] glaring in the sun
Branwyn (Lisa) points "there he is! He looks happy"
[Anton (Mario)] (back, scrolling up to read what i missed...)
Aunt Jennevive (Master) nodding, he is
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (a bunch of fails - no career as a carnival psychic)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] he is doing well on the horse Anton got for him.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Can you talk to him there?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This is very nice. But it will not get me to Joyclin as I promised.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh I don't think so Jennevive.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wouldn't that just scare him if my voice suddenly came out of nowhere and said hello?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I imagine he woould not believe it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] do you know anyone in Joyclin?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] don't want to do that to him.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I will know the Ambassador when she arrives but she is likely still travelling.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you could practice on her then?
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs loudly
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If my teleport is connected to her location I will scare her out of her wits when I arrive
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She was frightened by a glowing napkin.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wait until she sees me.
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs again
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Branwyn the Mysterious
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Marvelous Branwyn the Mysterious
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] she says with a light laugh
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you again Howard. This was a lovely idea and quite useful. You have saved my trip.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] well at least you showed how you can make this work
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I should dig out the one we found long ago.
[Howard Plum (Master)] You have another one in the labratory
[Howard Plum (Master)] I polished it up
[Howard Plum (Master)] I was not sure why you wanted this one
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "Thank you"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm not sure either. I forget about the other one since it was of no use at home.
[Howard Plum (Master)] Why of no use?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Completely useless until it was brought into the right setting
[Howard Plum (Master)] What is the right setting?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No Mist. Where one can see things clearly.
[Howard Plum (Master)] (the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
[Howard Plum (Master)] shall I go get yours
[Howard Plum (Master)] so we can try using it?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so will have to play with it on the website over the coming weeks)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I suppose we should make sure mine works before returning the guild one. Good idea.
Howard Plum (Master) gets up adn heads down into the basement
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps we can see where Lord Branadarus is at the moment. Or would that be a bad thing to do?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I think that wiould be a scrumptious thing to do
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] sadly you are not with him
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] so I rather think it will be rather tame
Branwyn (Lisa) arches eyebrows "Am I going to have to lock this thing up when I'm not using it?"
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] do your apprentices listen to you?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have no idea
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I trust you have learned how to use his wand properly
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh stop
Aunt Jennevive (Master) happy laugh
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I would suggest that you store it in your room from now on? they do not go there do they?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] as they use the labratory every day
[Master] (puppies want to go brb)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I suppose people could get carried away with a tool like this.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Personally, I think I have too mych to do to spend all day staring at other people.
[Anton (Mario)] (Use his wand" leave it to Bobby!)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (trying to take the higher road)
[Anton (Mario)] (yes, you are definitely better than both of us, combined!)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (wouldn't go that far!)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so do you know what you want to do in the church?)
[Anton (Mario)] (ya, lets see what she wanta me to swear to, and if its goona harm the house by lying, ill come clean. Anton's loyalty to the house is utmost)
[Anton (Mario)] (He would never think of desecrating the house or his new family)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's also your character - it would be like a scarlet letter)
[Anton (Mario)] (true, id hate to walk around with a glowing spot on my forehead!)
[Anton (Mario)] ( i know what you mean)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but you are a smooth talker - you can prevail :) )
[Anton (Mario)] if he cant pull it off, he can resort to another falsehood...!!)
[Anton (Mario)] (mauraders stole his prized chicken, and forced him to do this)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Anton (Mario)] (walking the dog isnt that exciting, i thought of a few)
[Anton (Mario)] (my fav is that Lady Branwyn had a fetish...)
[Anton (Mario)] (*has)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you were so stunned by her beauty that you created a story of heroism in the hopes that she would view him with favor)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (our heads go in completely different places)
[Anton (Mario)] (wow! yes!! that one im using!!)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Anton (Mario)] (rofl!)
[Master] back
[Anton (Mario)] (can i ask a Q? about the proficiency rolls)
[Master] and it seems I have a bit of bone sticking out there in the back of my jaw that is what is hurting still
[Master] out past the gap from the tooth
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ouch)
[Master] that is what is healing over
[Anton (Mario)] The number after the Prof title (9+0, or 10-1) what does that mean?
[Master] and every time I couch it stretcheding
[Master] cough
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so you should go back)
[Anton (Mario)] yikes!
[Master] nah
[Master] it is healing over
[Master] and I am going back on Tuesday morning
[Master] already have that appointment
[Anton (Mario)] just swish Whiskey, it helps
[Anton (Mario)] in more ways than one!
[Master] chuckles
[Master] ok so back to questions here
[Master] proficiencies
[Master] are based on a stat
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Cantrip Proficiency check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL FAILED against 16!!
[Master] and sometimes
[Master] have a modifier
[Master] in this case
[Master] she has to roll under a 16
[Master] and she rolled a 17 after modifiers
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Cantrip Proficiency check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL FAILED against 16!!
[Anton (Mario)] so how did 16 appear for that prof, in relation to the number in the title of the prof?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] sorry - didn't mean to do that again
[Master] if she had spent an extra slot on Cantrip it would reduce the modifier by 1
[Master] that is based on the stat is is
[Master] knowledge,
[Master] reason
[Master] intuition
[Anton (Mario)] for example, i have Animal Lore: 9+0
[Master] muscle
[Anton (Mario)] so i have to roll LESS than 9?
[Master] correct
[Anton (Mario)] aha! so the larger the number, the better chance i have
[Master] and if you put another slot in it then you would get a bonus of 1
[Master] so a 10 or less
[Master] BUT remember you only roll for hard things
[Master] obscure knowledge,
[Master] start a fire in the rain
[Branwyn (Lisa)] yoru knowledge is a 9
[Master] tie knots in the middle of combat
[Anton (Mario)] ugh, so Hunting is a 7, we all gonna starve
[Master] during every day normal life you do just fine
[Anton (Mario)] aha, i see, cool, Thanks!
[Master] so in this case you can expect to find enough food to keep you all alive
[Anton (Mario)] but a unicorn...
[Master] but if you want to hunt a specific grouse for dinner that might be a roll
[Master] and yes unicorn hunting would be a roll
[Anton (Mario)] seeing i ve never dealt with one, would have neg modifiers
[Master] no
[Anton (Mario)] oh...
[Master] and priests can bless
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (priests can bless you before you try things too)
[Master] grins
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
[Master] gmta
[Anton (Mario)] ya, ok!
[Master] bless is a +5%
[Master] so a +1 on a d20
[Anton (Mario)] right on
[Master] chanting is an additional +1
[Master] etc.
[Master] so you have a way of getting +10% better with teh priests you have in the group
[Master] so an 11 or less instead of a 9
[Anton (Mario)] so HUnting is 7-1 so its really a 6, ro 30% chance of success
[Master] and that is just basic everyday thinking
[Master] nods
[Anton (Mario)] ok, cool, thank you
[Master] go on and roll a skill to check
[Anton (Mario)] if all else failed, i was gonna play Laika a Lyre une, but its 10-1
[Anton (Mario)] Anton: Musical Instrument - Lyre check: (d20) [1d20=19] 19 - ROLL FAILED against 9!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (guy's character sarenger was an opera singer - had to roll under 7)
[Anton (Mario)] Pffft!
[Anton (Mario)] yikes!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (always being begged to sing and sometimes it was just awful)
[Anton (Mario)] rofl. i could imagine
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but sometimes he could charm a whole room)
[Master] which creates some fun stuff too as he suddenly makes his roll and it is unforgetable
[Master] a star
[Master] which is what we played it as
[Anton (Mario)] wow, thats too funny
[Master] women chasing him
[Master] etc.
[Master] the poor girl,
[Master] wanted to marry him so badly
[Master] was going to be an old spinster that no one loved at 18
[Master] in any case
[Master] crystal ball is brought up from the labratory
[Anton (Mario)] (ya, sprry-)
[Master] Hugh sets it on the table next to the other one
[Master] now I need Lisa to roll a d100
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let's see if this works and then we shall put these away
Branwyn (Lisa) concentrates
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=92] 92
[Master] on?
[Master] Indigo ?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (branadarus)
[Master] ahh
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (who she knows with and without clothes - the odds should be high should they not?)
[Master] actually yes
[Master] BUT
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (my roll still sucks)
[Master] it was a roll for the type of crystal ball you have
[Master] rather than a normal one like the mage guild loaned you
[Master] crystal ball with lelcpathy (communication only)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh)
[Master] Telepathy
[Master] you can see and telepathically communicate with who you are looking at
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so I can put a thought in his head to come see me?)
[Master] less than 10% of all crystal balls can do that
[Master] you speak to him yes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Bring wine for dinner)
[Master] grins
Lord Branadarus (Master) stops
Lord Branadarus (Master) looking around
Branwyn (Lisa) points
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Look!
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs
Lord Branadarus (Master) are you hiding somewhere?
Lord Branadarus (Master) are you invisible?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This isn't a nice thing to do at all.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Come to the manor Tiberius. You are wanted there.
Branwyn (Lisa) watches
Lord Branadarus (Master) shakes his head slightly,
Lord Branadarus (Master) yes my betrothed
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He is going to be angry with me
Lord Branadarus (Master) he smiles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am not your bethrothed!
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] (you have up to 1 hour of time up to 3 time per day)
[Anton (Mario)] (tiberious?! Seriously?!)
Branwyn (Lisa) covers the ball with a napkin
[Master] He heads over to his cellar for wine
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe we should stop for now.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have some eplaining to do.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] That is interesting
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you have issues with Tiberius? Bob named him)
[Master] His mother wanted him to travel far
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes it is. Somewhat dangerous tool.
[Master] (and LIsa has typed in all the T spells so she has Telepathy right there in her database, grins)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes I do)
[Master] (can you past in the spell description for us?)
[Master] paste
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it is on my laptop)
[Master] ok will find it here then
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry)
[Master] Huh, it must be a priest spell
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I have a priest's ball?)
[Master] This spell establishes direct, two-way mental contact between the priest and a single subject. The subject must have Intelligence of at least 5 for the spell to take effect. While the spell is in effect, the two participants can communicate silently and rapidly, regardless of whether they share a common language. Telepathy does not give either participant access to the other’s thoughts, memories, or emotions. Participants hear only thoughts that the other participant actively sends. Mind-to-mind communication is approximately four times faster than verbal communication. The level of complexity that can be communicated is only that which can be expressed through language. Gestures, expressions, and body language cannot be conveyed.
[Master] no Crystal Balls are only usable by Wizards
[Master] on an unwilling subject (for example, if the priest wants to silently threaten or taunt the subject), the subject receives a saving throw vs. spell to resist the effect. Willing subjects need not make a saving throw.
[Master] so that was a bit of luck on your part
[Master] and I will leave you to mull over the new wrinkles for you
[Master] and switch over to Anton and his confessional
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes - must think on it)
[Master] Anton moved 20'01".
[Master (to GM only)] Laika Frost moved 8'09".
[Master] Uncle Surnack Appleby moved 39'01".
[Laika Frost (Master)] Uncle Appleby
[Laika Frost (Master)] I have a request
[Anton (Mario)] Good Sir
[Laika Frost (Master)] could you please hold this man accountable for his words
[Laika Frost (Master)] he says that he let a hippogriff go
[Laika Frost (Master)] remember the group that was here a month or so ago
[Laika Frost (Master)] that caused such problems in town
[Laika Frost (Master)] the mayor paid them off to leave
Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master) holds up a hand
Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master) looks at Anton
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] Welcome my son
Anton (Mario) kneels "Good day, Good Sir"
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] I am uncle Appleby, who are you?
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] come in side
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] it is too cold out here for my bones
[Anton (Mario)] I am Anton, of the Dragin Slayers
[Anton (Mario)] your fire is warm, and it does us all good
[Anton (Mario)] May i ask the rest of my party wait outside for us to compete our conversation?
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] They may come in and keep warm also
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] it is up to your needs
[Anton (Mario)] Good Sir, if it pleases you, it would be better for them to remain outside. We should speak in confidence
[Anton (Mario)] Very well, they shall wait outside. Lets gio into the warmth
[Anton (Mario)] Anton moved 11'01".
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] When was you last confession child?
[Anton (Mario)] I am ashamed to say but it has been quite a while. I was raised as an orphan, and i know not the ways of the church
Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master) lays a hand on Anton's head, says a blessing
Anton (Mario) bows with acceptance
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] Do you ask forgiveness for your sins?
[Anton (Mario)] I do not feel i have sinned too much, but for those which i have, i do ask for forgiveness
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] Then you are forgiven child
[Anton (Mario)] my heart always steers me to do good, as I am doing now
Anton (Mario) feels enlightened thank you , good Sir
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] You come to join in the church
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] do you feel compelled to the church?
[Anton (Mario)] that is not my intention, good Sir. i am on a quest, ebest to me by my new family, some of which are outside
[Anton (Mario)] *beset
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] why do you not want them in here with you?
[Anton (Mario)] Godd Sir, i have had a blessing in my life, a blessing to start a new life, with a family who accepts me for who i am, and not who i was, or used to be
[Anton (Mario)] i have not been totaly honest on our quest today with the Fair Maiden
[Anton (Mario)] and i must complete this quest, ro face the loss of another family
[Anton (Mario)] if they know of my deceit, fo rthe betterment of us all, they wuold shun me
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] Why would you lie to Laika?
TMO has joined the game on Fri Feb 19 22:59:52 EST 2016
TMO is receiving the map New Residence second floor...
TMO has received the map New Residence second floor.
Anton (Mario) bows to Laika " Good lady, we are on a quest for a unicorn hair, but not for the saviour of civilisationas i stated
[Anton (Mario)] i said those things so my traveking companions would think i am grander than i am
[Lisa] Hi TMO
[TMO] (I'm still in the process of putting the kids to bed, but at least wanted to check in and see if the game was still going)
[Anton (Mario)] we truly mran no harm to the unicorn, but our quest is only complete with a hair
[Anton (Mario)] i was willing to be branded for life, if that meant my family would believe in me. I see that is not what is nest for me
[Anton (Mario)] (Hey TMO)
[Anton (Mario)] We come i search of information, to allow us to garner a simple hair from a unicorn, that is all
[Anton (Mario)] Lady Laika is known through tthe lands as the knowledge base. We came to her
Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master) stittign there looking at you, listenting to you, waiting, forcing you to continue to speak
[Anton (Mario)] i am a man of limited knowledge. I fear i would lose my newfound family if i let them down on my first real task for them
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] are you of limited knowledge? or limited morals?
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] thinking that the best way to have your new family accept you is to lie to them
[Anton (Mario)] Good Sir, i am a simple farm hand, my family cut from me while i was just a teen. I know no other way
[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.
[Anton (Mario)] (when should the tesrs start?)
[Anton (Mario)] *tears
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] you know nothing but lies?
[Anton (Mario)] i only want acceptance, and i would do anything to not lose it once i found it
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] then how will you know the truth?
[Anton (Mario)] no Sir, lay your hands on me again, Feel how sincere i am, how true my heart is
[Anton (Mario)] my heart guides me true
[Anton (Mario)] my loyalty guides me true
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] do you swear to no longer lie
Anton (Mario) looks up, makes eye contact "sir?!"
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] Do you swear by all that is holy that you will not lie for the next month
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] that you will tell the truth
Anton (Mario) bows head "I do. I wil not lie. Not even a small one. To every one and anyone So i swear it. So it shall be done"
[Anton (Mario)] (ONMG!!!)
Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master) CASTS and a bright light settles upon Anton
[Lisa] (you are in trouble now)
[Anton (Mario)] (i can do it!!)
[Lisa] (does this dress make me look fat?)
[Anton (Mario)] ( no. its your ass that makes you look fat!)
[Lisa] lol
[Anton (Mario)] (old commercial!!(
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] Can I help you in other ways my son?
[Anton (Mario)] Good Sir, wee seek a unicorn's hair. That is all
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] I do not know of any unicorns
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] but Laika would be the person to help
[Anton (Mario)] yes, Sir. But maybe Lady Laika can assist us on where is the best palce to find one
[Anton (Mario)] I so swear we will do it no harm, and I must be telling the truth...
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] I see that you mean it
[Anton (Mario)] /mw nods " i do"
[Anton (Mario)] LAdy Laika, can you assist us in this quest?
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
[TMO] (lawdy, fun evening. would much rather have been here)
[Laika Frost (Master)] (grins)
[Lisa] (can the others come inside now?)
[TMO] (carry on, let me know when it's appropriate to arrive)
[Laika Frost (Master)] (Laika and Shur are outside right now waiting for Anton to invite them into the church)
[Anton (Mario)] (lol) Good Sir, if we are done, May I invite the ohters inside now?
[TMO] (where is Marisu?)
[Laika Frost (Master)] (tghere too)
[Laika Frost (Master)] (you might want to ask ANton what is goign on in private before getting Laika involved again)
[Anton (Mario)] (i just promised to NOT lie for the next gaming month, so as to get info on the best place to find a unicorn)
[TMO] (I find that silence is the best way to not lie sometimes. ;) )
[Anton (Mario)] ( a month in-game is like two essions, right?
[Laika Frost (Master)] lol
[TMO] (we've only been in Dryads Lair for what, 3 weeks?)
[Anton (Mario)] (rofl)
[Anton (Mario)] (it kinda takes the pressure off. i HAVE to tell the truth)
[Lisa] (he neglects to tell you why he had to make such a bargain ...)
[Anton (Mario)] ( to be honest...LOL...i lied tto try to get a unicorn hair, and i almost had to swear an oath that i wasnt lying...)
[Lisa] (it was a beautiful story)
[Anton (Mario)] (so i came clean, and now i cannot lie for a gaming month)
[Anton (Mario)] (Diplomat, Anton is def NOT)
[Anton (Mario)] (ok,,,)
[Laika Frost (Master)] (So ANton comes to the front of the church and says?)
Anton (Mario) goes to the door " Come on in, Get warm by the fire"
[Anton (Mario)] lady Laika, please sit by me
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] Laika Frost moved 10'07".
[Marisu]] (TMO) comes in. "Did everything go alright, Anton?"
[Anton (Mario)] i think so, Miss Marisu
[Anton (Mario)] Lady Laika, may i ask you to assist us in finding a Unicorn Hair?
[Laika Frost (Master)] what do you want me to do?
[Anton (Mario)] We seek only your knowledge. How can we garner a hair from such a magical beast?
[Anton (Mario)] ...Considering we wish to do it no harm
[Laika Frost (Master)] You will have to gain the creature's trust
[Laika Frost (Master)] and ask it for permission
[Laika Frost (Master)] you cannot TAKE
Laika Frost (Master) she spits out the word
[Anton (Mario)] How, so, Enlightened One?
Anton (Mario) nods and bows "we shall not Take, We shall ASK"
[Laika Frost (Master)] how should I instruct you on how to gain the trust of a creature I have not met?
Anton (Mario) looks up "do you know where we can best make contact with such acreature?"
[Laika Frost (Master)] I have not heard of any living near here in the Woods
[Laika Frost (Master)] perhaps up into the hills
[Anton (Mario)] Forgive me, Madam, but which HIlls? We are not from here
[Laika Frost (Master)] The Cordrawn Hills lay north of the Blumm Woods
Shurkural (TMO)] All the weird stuff we've run into, you'd think a unicorn would be one of 'em.
[Anton (Mario)] Are you aware of any ways to attract said beast? we heard that they are attracted to those who are Pure of the Flesh
[Laika Frost (Master)] I would suppose that such a think might be true
[Laika Frost (Master)] as it is such a common tale
Anton (Mario) nods " thank you, m'Lady"
[Anton (Mario)] if you were to seek one, what would you do to ensure you were successful?
[Laika Frost (Master)] I would go as open and honest as I could
[Laika Frost (Master)] I would make my intentions known
[Laika Frost (Master)] if you are saving the City
[Laika Frost (Master)] you should be able to convince such a pure creature with your words
[Shurkural]] (TMO) frowns in thought. "Like, walking through the forest calling out that we need a unicorn hair, but all friendly?"
[Anton (Mario)] We shall be as honest as a an infant. I cannot hide my intent.
[Anton (Mario)] good Lady, when shall we know we are close to finding our goal?
[Laika Frost (Master)] when you find the creature
Anton (Mario) diverts eyes downward "yes, m'Lady"
[Anton (Mario)] Good Lasy, are you in possession of a Unicorn hair now?
[Laika Frost (Master)] no
Anton (Mario) nods
[Anton (Mario)] Uncle Appleby, Goos Lady Laika, we do thank you sincerely for your time and efforts
Laika Frost (Master) nods
Anton (Mario) to the crew " does anyone have any questions?"
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] you are welcome my child
Shurkural (TMO)] Any idea what kind of food a unicorn might like? We can get some as an offering of some kind.
Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master) shakes his head
[Anton (Mario)] That is excellent Miss Shur. Do you know, Lady Laika?
[Laika Frost (Master)] I would suppose they like what most horses and other creatures like
[Laika Frost (Master)] fresh flowers would be the best
[Laika Frost (Master)] but this is winter
[Laika Frost (Master)] you will not find them
Anton (Mario) looks at the crew for more questions
[Anton (Mario)] (lisa, any thoughts?)
[Anton (Mario)] (use the crystal ball to communicate with us!)
[Lisa] (I did think it was strange that at first she was saying oh, I can just go get a unicorn myself and now is I'm not sure - maybe out in the hills, but I could just be suspicious)
[Anton (Mario)] (wow, good catch!!)
[Anton (Mario)] Lady Laika, you were going to get a unicorn hair and be the hero. But now you no not where to find one? Can you clear that up for us?
[Lisa] (and marisu might be thinking - aren't there dragons in cordrawn hills?)
[Lisa] (the hills would be on the way to domvile)
Shurkural (TMO)] (is that where we were? I'm not good with all the locations)
[Laika Frost (Master)] I do not know where there is a unicorn
[Lisa] don't know if dragons and unicorms play together)
[Laika Frost (Master)] you said it would save the world and I would be famous
[Laika Frost (Master)] if it takes me a year I can find the creature
[Lisa] (ohhh the priest might know about the pool)
Marisu (TMO)] Have you heard stories of dragons in the Corddrawn Hills?
Anton (Mario) frowns " I see, i suppose we all want to be famous."
[Laika Frost (Master)] Of course there are dragons there
[Laika Frost (Master)] no Duke, Earl or PRince has ever been able to tame the hills
[Anton (Mario)] (Bob Bob,, can you put up the other map? so we can see where the hills are?
[Laika Frost (Master)] sure
[Laika Frost (Master)] the hills are north of the woods
[Anton (Mario)] thank you!
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] and yes the scale on that map is right
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] so one inch equals one mile
[Anton (Mario)] (ok we took two days to get here, so two days to the center of the wood?
[Anton (Mario)] Sorry , three days
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] figure 12 miles per day tops in the woods
[Anton (Mario)] if we took the road to the west, heading North?
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] you could do that and keep at 24 miles per day
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] but that road peters out up north a bit
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] Indigo and Hugh can tell you about that as they came back to the City this way
[Anton (Mario)] k, cool either way, i think we have to do this
[Anton (Mario)] About what time is it ingame? Do we camp here, or can we go further?
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] it is just about noon
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] time on the calendar is roughly correct
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] that is the time you arrive in town
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] so an hour or so of talking
[Anton (Mario)] cool, tx
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] but this is the last civilization you will see
[Anton (Mario)] Crew, are we rwady to say GodbYe to our new friends? Do we need anything for out trek while we are here?
[Anton (Mario)] More rations? Warmer blankets?
[Anton (Mario)] Scissors?!
Mario is receiving the map Northam...
Mario has received the map Northam.
Marisu (TMO)] Maybe some sweet grass or flowers, if there are any still around.
[Anton (Mario)] Excellent. Do you now if fresh flowers are available in town?
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] it is mid winter
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] so no to anything fresh at all being availabe
[Anton (Mario)] (lol, just checking!)
[Anton (Mario)] (can someone text Branwyn to conjure some up, amd teleport them to us?)
[Anton (Mario)] We will just have to keep our eyes open for some. Im sure they are growing somewhere, maybe magically
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] where do you want to leave the group Mario?
[Anton (Mario)] If I may, Uncle Appleby. Do you know of XXX Pond? We tried to pay our respects there but we were told we could not approach
[DL-Principality-m (Master)] just a sec
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] Dunum's Pool?
[Anton (Mario)] Yes, Sir
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] you would not be allowed to approch my child
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] you are not of sufficient faith
[Anton (Mario)] May i ask why, good Sir
[Anton (Mario)] I see. do you nkow if such holy ground would attract unicorns?
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] I have not entered that grove so I do not know
[Anton (Mario)] may i ask, are YOU of sufficient Faith?
[Anton (Mario)] I mean no disrespect, Good Sir, and as you know, I cannot lie
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] I have never been invited to the pool
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] if that means my faith is not sufficient
[Anton (Mario)] yes, Sir
[Uncle Surnack Appleby (Master)] I have traveled to the Grand Celestry only once
[Anton (Mario) (to Lisa only)] me nods
[Master] TMO?
[Anton (Mario)] I sincerely thank you, Uncle Appleby and Lady Laika. We Dragon Slayers are in your debt for your infinite knowledge. We are but a beckon from assistance
[Master] Lisa?
[Anton (Mario)] ( i bored them to sleep!)
[Master] happy to leave it here? or?
Marisu (TMO)] (I'm out of questions)
[Lisa] no I am here
[Lisa] pool is interesting
[Anton (Mario)] So i say we get up the road sufficient to set up camp, and have Jilly get us some grub
[Master] ok so to camp for the night
[Anton (Mario)] is that good with you TMO?
Marisu (TMO)] (aye)
[Master] do you want to enter the woods? or take the road? or skirt the edge?
[Anton (Mario)] ohhhh
[Anton (Mario)] i would prefer to get to the hilsls as close as we can by road, then huff it
[Anton (Mario)] if the speed is the same, as the roads, peter out, maybe through the wood would be wuicker, but more dangerous, id imagine
[Master] yes
[Anton (Mario)] lets stick to the roads
[Master] ok
[Lisa] so feast of basket next week?
Mario is receiving the map DL-Principality-m...
Mario has received the map DL-Principality-m.
