[Master] yes it does seem a bit laggy for some reason tonight
[Master] everything on the net today seemed that way
[BiBo!!!] so... strange world
[Master] and welcome all
[Master] tell us Marco
[Lisa] Hello
[BiBo!!!] my dad sends me an article about a friend of mine from elementary school
[BiBo!!!] seems he is a multimillionaire now and is about to marry prince harry's recent ex girlfriend (who is minor royalty and a lengerie model)
[Master] nice
[Master] does that mean you are getting invited to the wedding?
[BiBo!!!] thats him
[Lisa] the one from the naked photos?
[BiBo!!!] doubt it, havent been in touch since 3rd grade
[BiBo!!!] naked photos?
[Lisa] pics of harry naked at party with some woman
[BiBo!!!] oh, no idea
[Lisa] was last year some time
[BiBo!!!] but looking at the article, it seems my friend was dating her, then she left him for the prince then they got back together after she broke up with the prince
[Master] you could say you took them
[Master] but I guess it is a good thing for him overall
[Master] from the Bahamas to Royalty
[BiBo!!!] I dunno that I would want to marry a woman who dumped me for a prince
[Master] kind of hard to blame her though
[Master] how many chances to you get with a Prince anyway?
[Master] not as many chances as with Marco's friend from elementary school I bet
[BiBo!!!] lol. well yes, but I wouldnt trust her after that. seems gold digging material
[BiBo!!!] his family is apparently rich, but I had no idea about that. I suppose the fact that they had a school constructed for their children (which is where I went) should have been a clue]
[Master] chuckles
[Lisa] she probably isn't poor herself
[Master] yeah I think that might be a decent hint
[Lisa] Flee, 26, a descendant of the 7th Earl of Cardigan who led the charge of the Light Brigade
[Master] I have heard from Guy since I have been back, he will not be in tonight
[Lisa] will get discounts on sweaters?
[Master] LOL
[BiBo!!!] like I said, minor royalty. being royalty doesnt guarantee you have money. she IS a lengerie model after all. rich people dont tend to go into that business
[Master] got a text from TMO
[BiBo!!!] I remember that the school was in their backyard and we used to take swimming classes in their private pool
[Master] will be in in about 60-90 minutes, his friend should be logging in tonight also to see our game
[Master] I think you should have stayed friends with him Marco
[BiBo!!!] lol. well, he was my best friend at the time. but as a 9 year old, its hard to stay friends with someone when you move to another school
[Master] very true
[Master] and in a different country
[BiBo!!!] I do still have a ninja turtle doll he gave me for my birthday
[Master] with you there in Japan?
[BiBo!!!] yep
[Master] Lisa I think he beats both of us for saving something from the past
[Master] your pencil holder is from when?
[Lisa] 18
[BiBo!!!] mine survived a house fire
[Lisa] I am sure I have some childhood things lurking around
[Master] A house fire he says, like he has dealt with several of them
[Lisa] of course a ninja turtle would survive something as simple as a house fire
[BiBo!!!] well, I have, but only one that did major damage
[Master] I do have a book that someone gave to my dad when he was a kid
[Master] and what?
[Master] what other fire?
[Master] did you hear that story Lisa? about Marco's house burning down him going in to save the rabbit?
[BiBo!!!] I was a pyro as a little kid, I must have set the house on fire half a dozen times
[Master] LOL
[BiBo!!!] and the dog
[Master] you needed a swimming pool for a reason then!
[BiBo!!!] lol
[BiBo!!!] my favorite toys were magnifying lenses, matches and cans of assorted flammable sprays
[Lisa] lovely
[BiBo!!!] and occasionally magnets, which I often used to destroy neighbors' tvs
[BiBo!!!] though I didnt really realize what I was doing at the time
[Master] and this is why you have to live in Japan now
[BiBo!!!] lol
[BiBo!!!] I remember thinking, why does everyone's TV have these green streaks across the screen?
[BiBo!!!] I also remember that the first thing I would do to anything that had a warning about exposing to heat, was to set it on fire

[Master] ok
[Master] all better now
[Master] and I would like to welcome you offically to the start of our twentieth year
[BiBo!!!] yay
[Master] I am very hopeful that we will continue to have many fun and interesting adventures
[BiBo!!!] at the same time?
[Master] When last we left our intrepid band of adventurers
[Master] I intend for that to happen Marco
[Master] so
[Master] you are at the Gypy camp
[Master] it is afternoon
[Master] you can continue to ask questions here, go to town and see what you can find, try to sneak into the castle during the party, etc etc etc
[Master] what is your plan?
new guy has joined the game on Fri Jan 11 19:15:56 EST 2013
new guy is receiving the map Gypsy camp...
[Master] welcome Bill
[BiBo!!!] when have we ever had a plan that we actually used?
[Lisa] I'm sure there was one time
[Lisa] just can't remember it off hand...
[BiBo!!!] our plans take hours to make then we throw them away as soon as it is time to use them
new guy has received the map Gypsy camp.
[Lisa] Hi Bill :)
[new guy] Hello all... hope your holidays were good
[Lisa] very much so and yours?
[BiBo!!!] mine where
[new guy] traveled way too much but it was good
[BiBo!!!] all travel is way too much :)
[Master] I think we all traveled quite a bit over the break
[Lisa] I went least amount - Marco and Bob win for distance
[Master] I win for time spent traveling at least
[Lisa] and lost luggage
[Master] 7 am one day to noon the next day
[Master] Laughs
[Master] yeah that one too
[Lisa] 4 bags lost - one vacation
[BiBo!!!] I havent lost luggage in ages
[Master] plus one more damaged
[Master] Air France sucks
[BiBo!!!] well, yeah. its french
[Master] but in any case the Gypsies have not lost any packages for you yet
[BiBo!!!] we havent let them handle our stuff yet
[Master] I thought that was what you were trying to get that girl to do? handle your stuff?
[Master] or is that only Llath that does that ;P
[BiBo!!!] that would be llath.
[BiBo!!!] esmerelda is more of a tease
[Lisa] I thought we were getting a psychic reading
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 40'11".
[Master] we can do more of that
[Master] did anyone look at the cards you got in your first reading?
[Lisa] I saw them
[Master] OH and Bill was not here last time we played you did get an annual award sir
[BiBo!!!] we could look at them?
[new guy] great... what is that?
[Master] end of the year everyone gets an XP award
[new guy] ahh... gerat
[Master] Lisa was player of the year for most game attended
[Lisa] the attendance award
[new guy] Congrats
[Master] you got 6000 XP
[Master] in total
[Lisa] Very nice :)
[new guy] I figured it was significant because it says that Androp only needs like 900 xxp to level... and I thought he was much further than that... thank you for the award.
[Master] you got some for games attended
[Master] and a bonus for bravely taking charge of the party when no other players were in and moving the story forward
[new guy] ahh.. well that is nice but it wasn't something I felt comfortable with but glad I moved things along
[BiBo!!!] dont worry, if players arent in the game, they dont get a say
[Master] grins
[Master] so we ended last session with a card reading, you got the Tower, the Queen of Cups, Death
[new guy] Androp did?
[new guy] or everyone did?
[Master] with one extra card of Justice
[Master] everyone was/is there in the tent now
[Lisa] It was a reading about the Count and our missing girl
[Lisa] familiar with Tarot cards?
[Lisa] and a hush falls over the room
[new guy] I'm not at all, no
[Lisa] The Tower is the worst card in the deck
[Lisa] is chaos and destruction - no real way of making that card good
[BiBo!!!] unless you are us
[Lisa] iDeath can just be change - doesn't mean anyone is actually going to die
[BiBo!!!] because we are the embodiment of chaos and destruction
[Lisa] But is still not the best card you want to see at a reading
[BiBo!!!] this is us. death is going to happen
[BiBo!!!] our pointy pointy swords are not made for "change"
[Lisa] would have been nice to see the Justice card or even the wheel of fortune
[Lisa] but we get the Tower
[BiBo!!!] but we dont have enough letters to solve the puzzle
[new guy (to Master only)] being the son of an innkeeper and being LN in alignment... I don't think Androp really cares for gypsies... probably considers them filthy vagabonds and thiefs... so what cards are showing,.. he could really care less. That work? thinking that most places of business probably don't have high opinions of gypsies
[BiBo!!!] so does this mean we storm the castle and cause chaos and death in the name of justice?
[Master (to new guy only)] nods, that works, Branwyn is unusual in liking gypsies
[Lisa] we could do that
[Master (to new guy only)] her and sarengar and indigo did some traveling with them on the Chandler Cowles river once, saved some, slept with some, etc. so they got a bond with them
[Lisa] not sure storming the vampire castle is best option
[new guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[BiBo!!!] okay, sneaking in and killing everyone
[new guy (to Master only)] well good for them... Androp wouldn't know any of that and probably wouldn't change his opinion if he did so his opinion won't change unless something happens to change it
[Lisa] that's better :)
[Master (to new guy only)] yeap
[Master] you have maps grins
[Master] I can put up the various outside views for you if you want here also
[BiBo!!!] remind me, is this party strictly the upper echelons or is most of the town invited?
[Master] people from the town are invited
[Master] the only upper echelons here would live in the castle
[Master] not everyone from town comes
[Master] gypsies for example do not have invites
[BiBo!!!] well, I didnt know if people from out of town were invited
[Master] you do not know
[BiBo!!!] okay
[BiBo!!!] so probably not everyone at the party is a vampire
[BiBo!!!] probably
[BiBo!!!] are the vampires open about being vampires?
[Master] going under the assumption, because "everyone knows" the count is a vampire you do need a decent "herd" of non vampires around to feed from
[BiBo!!!] so... openish
[Master] and no one you have talked to has actually said the Count is a vampire, it is just one of those things that "everyone knows"
[BiBo!!!] they dont promote or deny it
[Master] working title for this story arc?
[BiBo!!!] but making anything that harms a vampire contraband is a fairly big hint
[BiBo!!!] did we get the impression that we would be denied entry if we came to the party?
[Master] yes very clearly
[Master] you were told there was no room at the castle
[BiBo!!!] to stay
[Master] you were given money to pay for rooms at the inn
[Master] you never directly asked about the party
[Master] but you were not invited either
[BiBo!!!] ah
[BiBo!!!] wonder why
[BiBo!!!] other than toybox being a douche
[Master] the guards at the gate seemed inpressed by him
[BiBo!!!] yes, but I assume it wasnt their decision to bar him
[Master (to new guy only)] by the way you are on the roll call page now, you have offically attended 1% of all games played
[BiBo!!!] cant seem to find the map file, what was it called again?
[new guy (to Master only)] cool. Thanks
[Master] let me double check what I renamed it for when I sent it out
[new guy (to Master only)] I'll have to check it out
[Master] Gift from above
[Master] that was the name I used
TMO has joined the game on Fri Jan 11 20:01:35 EST 2013
TMO is receiving the map Gypsy camp...
[BiBo!!!] there it is
[Master] Welcome sir
TMO has received the map Gypsy camp.
[Master] your friend has not made an appearnce yet
[TMO] he's in Mountain Time zone, and I think he had to work a bit late tonight
[BiBo!!!] so, unless we fly, the only entrance I see is the main one
[Master] no worries
[Master] and yes to Marco
[TMO] I talked with him last night, and we got Klooge installed, but not tested
[Master] that seems to be the only way in
[BiBo!!!] when does the party start?
[Master] good TMO
[Master] you do not know Marco
[TMO] what've I missed so far tonight?
[BiBo!!!] but presumably evening
[Master] there is also the climb up the cliff theory of getting in
[BiBo!!!] nothing
[Master] we have been catching up
[BiBo!!!] sure, if we want to die
[Master] and scheming on how to get into the castle
[TMO] you only die if you stop climbing and start falling
[TMO] I suggest you not do that
[BiBo!!!] hands up all of you with mountaineering
[TMO] Climb walls. Any bonuses to that skill roll for climbing a rough cliff rather than a smooth building?
[Lisa] Bob hinted at an underground way through the caves but he may have just been tempting us with ghostly caverns
[new guy] nope.. but I have gaming.. does that help? we'll gamble our way in
[BiBo!!!] they are bonuses, but that just means our thief gets in. still no good way for the others
[Master] yes to bonus for climbing up a cliff, adds to your mountainering check
[Master] gambling might help at the inn
[Master] in town
[Master] comiserate with those not at the party for intelligence gathering
[BiBo!!!] well, how about we go to the town and find some people who are going and take their places
[Master] that was somethign that Lisa brought up last session also
[BiBo!!!] leave toychest behind because he will ruin it
[Master] but you need to describe what your illusions can and cannot do
[Master] how long it will last etc
[BiBo!!!] my illusion will last as long as I concentrate on it plus 2d6 rounds
[Lisa] I thought you said you had to concentrate too hard for that to work
[BiBo!!!] I can walk and talk while concentrating
[Lisa] oops
[BiBo!!!] it would be enough to get in the door
[BiBo!!!] would get dangerous if we wanted to mingle
[BiBo!!!] so we would have to get in, then separate ourselves from the party as quickly as possible
[BiBo!!!] I can probably cover all of us with the illusion
[Lisa] or we can wait until tomorrow when we can all walk in as ourselves
[BiBo!!!] sure if you wanna do things the easy way
[Lisa] not as much fun
[BiBo!!!] and we still dont know how safe our lady friend is
[TMO] Bob caught me up to date on the invitation thing
[BiBo!!!] she might already have turned for all we know
[BiBo!!!] or they might do it at the party
[TMO] so.. we are trying to enter a vampire's house without an invitation tonight? Seems like SUCH a role-reversal.
[new guy] some of us don't care about our "friend"
[BiBo!!!] if we dont care about her, there is no reason to be on this adventure at all
[Lisa] Androp is on quest under protest
[new guy] majority rules
[BiBo!!!] because she is the only reason we are doing any of this
[new guy] Its not up to Androp...
[TMO] now we suddenly don't care about Wilhemina's welfare?
[BiBo!!!] the point is though, we came all this way for her
[BiBo!!!] it would be silly to suddenly stop now
[Master] remember how Androp met her
[TMO] could we have made that decision BEFORE trekking halfway across the country fighting werewolves and facing vampires?
[new guy] Androp isn't under protest... He's happily going with you... to help all of you .. not to save her... that the mission is to save her isn't as important as helping all of you
[Lisa] and we appreciate that
[BiBo!!!] though I swear if we get another "Im sorry but our princess is in another castle" routine, towns will be leveled
[Lisa] lol
[Master] lol
[Master] I promise this is the last story arc of the Era
[Lisa] Andop will probably be the one to save her and she will throw herself into his arms and fall madly in love with him
[new guy] Androp isn't looking for gold or appreciation or magic or any of that.. first he wants to make sure you all make it out alive, if possible... botched that with the elfie... and secondly... to see her face when he is one of the ones rescuing her
[BiBo!!!] lol
[Lisa] and be very grateful she didn't do any real damage at their first meeting
[Master] Androp is good at the rescuing part, look what he did for Koorin being carried off by wolves
[new guy] if it means consorting with filthy gypsies and defying vampire nobility so be it.. it will be worth it in the end... hopefully
[BiBo!!!] but anyways, as far as area I can affect, I can do a 120 ft cube, more than enough to cover us
[TMO] well, Ilero isn't too enthralled with the Princess' attitude at the last meeting either. ;)
[BiBo!!!] vampire nobility has treasure
[TMO] treasure Good
[new guy] thats right.. so Ilero knows where Androp is coming from
[BiBo!!!] not to mention being friends with the queen having its perks
[TMO] only if it gets us treasure or pleasure. ;)
[TMO] can I copyright that?
[Master] chuckles
[BiBo!!!] oh I am sure girls will drop at your feet if they know you can introduce them to the queen
[TMO] Your majesty Queen Bitch, this is Lord Billy-Bob. He wanted to meet you.
[Master] smiles
[Master] so you reviewed your card reading
[TMO] Ilero has such a way with wordes...
[Master] did you want another one? other questions for the wisewoman?
[Master] anything here in camp?
[Lisa] hope you're in Lords that season with such a pleasant Royal attitude :)
[TMO] oop, back on topic now. *pays attention*
[Master] oh that is right?
[Master] TMO
[Master] did you get in this season?
[TMO] yes
[Master] great
[TMO] I'm the King of Sweden
[Master] lol
[Master] I am happy he held a spot for me while I was off traveling
[Master] ok back on topic
[Master] anything here in camp you want?
[Master] questions for the wisewoman?
[BiBo!!!] does she know of any secret ways into the castle?
[Master] no she said that earlier in the conversatoin
[Master] when you asked about the caves being a way in
[BiBo!!!] its been a month, i dont remember so good ;)
[Ilero (TMO)] (how much are we telling this lady?)
[Master] smiles if it is three hours you don't remember so good Marco
[BiBo!!!] well, 3 hours in your game tends to last 3 months of real world time
[BiBo!!!] anyways, I guess no. there is nothing much they can tell us. not that I would expect them to. they are wandering gypsies, not ex-castle guards
[Master] we actually have progressed 32 years of game time in the previous 19 years of playing
[Ilero (TMO)] (I have an idea, but don't want to say it if we aren't telling her everything)
[Master] you already did tell her who you are and why you are here
[BiBo!!!] well, we do jump a year in 5 seconds
[Ilero (TMO)] (have we told or implied that we are trying to sneak into the castle?
[Master] told her names etc
[Master] yes
[Ilero (TMO)] ok
[BiBo!!!] we have told everyone everything
[Lisa] I basically told her everything
[BiBo!!!] we are as covert as a loudspeaker
[Ilero (TMO)] Can you tell our fortune for each path we might try, yes? Maybe tell us which give us best chance? Or if all path lead to death?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] my northern friend
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I can only tell you your future about a path you have chosen
[BiBo!!!] then I guess we have chosen our path
[Ilero (TMO)] Hokay, so we must pick one, t'en you tell us if we live or not on it?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] I do not need to know which path for that
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] if you go into the Count's castle with ill intent it will be dangerous
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] if you go into the Count's castle unaware and act foolishly it will be dangerous
[Ilero (TMO)] Hye t'ink hye needs to write my will.
[Ilero (TMO)] Wait, hye gots not'ing to leave anyone.
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] ( I really need you to put together a language guide TMO, so that when you visit Blackwater I can have all the NPCs talk like that )
[BiBo!!!] just have him play all the npcs
[Ilero (TMO)] (it's pretty simple, actually. but will have to look it up again)
[Ilero (TMO)] (the basics are few to no articles, a few tense errors ('gots'), and th => t'.
[Ilero (TMO)] (a few others like hye for I, etc)
[Ilero (TMO)] (everything else I make up as I go, which is why it's so inconsistent)
[BiBo!!!] well, unless anyone else has any better ideas, shall we head back to town to kidnap some party guests?
[Lisa] it's either that or look for ghosts in the caverns
[Ilero (TMO)] (Oh, that sounds lovely!)
[BiBo!!!] dont need to risk ghosts AND vampires. one level draining creature per adventure is plenty thanks
[Lisa] then off to town it is :)
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] very well
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Blackwater
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] for the updated language notes grin
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] so you have the overview map
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] Indigo is on it to show where the group is
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] you are going to cross the river at the Red Bridge?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] or are you going down to the Brides Bridge?
[BiBo!!!] is red bridge faster?
[Wisewoman Sunflower (Master)] yes
[BiBo!!!] looks like it
[BiBo!!!] any reason to not take either of the bridges?
[Blackraven Village overview (Master)] nope
[Lisa] wasn't there something with that other bridge though?
[BiBo!!!] red it is
[Master] the Brides Bridge is where the women who would be married to the men of the family used to cross
[Lisa] have vague memory
[Master] but it has not been used in a long time
[Lisa] okay
[BiBo!!!] at all or for that purpose?
[Master] you are not sure
[BiBo!!!] all the more reason to stick to the red bridge
[BiBo!!!] lets go
Ilero (TMO) hops on his Segway.
[Master] everyone sees that map
[Master] you are entering town from that road
[Ilero (TMO)] (yes. Inn in the bottom left?)
[Master] it goes straightish through town and then south
[Master] no the Inn is on the overiew map, is on the river
[Master] no inn in town
[Master] there is an old church on a hill on the edge of town you can see over the other buildings
[BiBo!!!] where do people gather publicly in townn?
[Master] there is a small farm to your left as you enter along the roadway
[Ilero (TMO)] (okay)
[Master] there is a large village square in the center
[BiBo!!!] well, I guess we go hang out there and see who is milling about
[Master] ok
[Master] Indigo moved 55'09".
[Master] Esmerelda moved 102'06".
[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 213'01".
[Master] Ilero moved 37'11".
[Master] Branwyn moved 155'08".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 93'10".
[Master] Shurkural moved 98'04".
[Master] Sarengar moved 108'00".
[Master] Shurkural, Indigo, Ilero, Androp Ilkep, Toybin of Castling, Esmerelda and Branwyn moved 287'08".
[Master] as you approach the town
[Master] there is a small farm on your left
[Master] and you have the plaza in front of you
[Master] and a cross street coming up
[Ilero (TMO)] (what are we looking for?)
[Master] Indigo, Shurkural, Ilero, Androp Ilkep, Toybin of Castling, Esmerelda and Branwyn moved 245'02".
[Master] Branwyn moved 15'04".
[BiBo!!!] people who are going to the party
[Master] on the right side of the street at that intersection is what smells to be a leatherworker's shop
[Master] and a small cottage on the left
[Master] you can see on your left also that there is a large gathering spot for wagons and such
[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!
[Master] where they keep them away from the main square
[Master (to TMO only)] you notice that there is an almost erie sense of quiet over the town, you feel like you are being watched from behind corners and such, you are definately strangers here in town
[Master] so turn right or left on teh side path? or into the main plaza?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you are serious about breaking into the castle?)
[BiBo!!!] ((I have no better idea at this point))
[Ilero (TMO)] Hye don't like t'is much. Feels wrong. Maybe just nerves, but hye not sure it good idea.
[Ilero (TMO)] Maybe hye just jumping at shadows, yes?
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "everything about going up against vampires is a bad idea. but I though that was the reason for being here"
[Master] Ilero, Shurkural, Indigo, Androp Ilkep, Toybin of Castling, Esmerelda and Branwyn moved 73'03".
[Master] there appears to be a store of some sort on each of the corners for this street going into the plaza
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] what kinds?
[Ilero (TMO)] Yah, probably. But hye feel like we being watched.
[Master] homes here on this corner
[Branwyn (Lisa)] shopping!
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "We probably are."
[Master] Esmerelda, Shurkural, Indigo, Ilero, Androp Ilkep, Toybin of Castling and Branwyn moved 194'02".
[Master] as you enter the Plaza you see the fountain in the center, not working but there is water in the basin
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] stagnant?
[Master] there is a druggist and a glass blower and a locksmith shops on this side of the plaza
[Master] no still water but not stagnant that you can tell
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (locksmith shop? that seems really odd to me)
[Master] the rest of the plaza seems to be surrounded by the city hall, the jail, a wine store, and some other smaller buildings
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Must be a rich town..."
[Master] it is unusual to see stores like this in a small town it is true
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Those arent stores for commoners"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] do we gave time to get a glass blown otter?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] lol
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] lets see what they have
[Master] brb ddrinks and restroom
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Ilero (TMO)] (brb too - diaper changing run)
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] ok so explore the glass blower?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] sure, why not
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Bill if you have ideas - just chime in)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes please)
[Master] Branwyn moved 108'03".
[Master (to GM only)] Woman #5 moved 34'02".
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] ((sure thing.. heh Androp is kind of the strong silent type so any ideas he comes up with, depending on the situation, may or may not come out of him))
[Master] you enter the plaza
[Master] to the right is a set of buildings, the front steps there where Branwyn is lead up to an open store front
Androp Ilkep (new guy) follows Branwyn into the shop
[Master] doors wide open and the heat is oppressive
[Ilero (TMO)] (back)
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 140'09".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It's like we just stepped into an oven.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hello!
Glassblower (Master) WHOOOOOOOSH
[Glassblower (Master)] as she slowly blows air into a lump of glowing hot glass
Ilero (TMO) browses any items on display with curiosity. We have a cleric (I think), so being able to throw holy water might come in handy if we have something breakable to carry it in)
[Glassblower (Master)] it expands out into a sphere
[Glassblower (Master)] then she slides it back into the open oven door
[Glassblower (Master)] glances over at you
[Glassblower (Master)] Nods gruffly
[Glassblower (Master)] then pulls the glasswork out of the oven and starts to spin it over her work bench
[Glassblower (Master)] What can I do for you?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good afternoon. We just saw your shop and thought we'd take a look around.
[Glassblower (Master)] sticks the glowing object back into the furnace
[Glassblower (Master)] nods at you,
[Glassblower (Master)] I can make what you need
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are quite skilled at your art.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((are there things on display or does this seem to just be a comission shop?))
[Glassblower (Master)] pulls the glowing ball back out
[Glassblower (Master)] (there are a couple of glass goblets on a shelf as a display
[Glassblower (Master)] and a pitcher
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((ah, so not very much))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can you make figurines?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Of things like animals for instance
[Ilero (TMO)] (apparent quality of the goblets and pitcher? By a semi-non-knowledgable person, of course)
[Glassblower (Master)] she twirls the object she is working on over the workbench again and suddenly it flattens out into a long oval shape, it now looks like a vase of some sort
[Glassblower (Master)] she glances over at you as the puts the vase back into the furnace
[Glassblower (Master)] I can make it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Lovely. What would you charge to make a glass otter?
[Glassblower (Master)] you have never seen glass goblets or a pitcher before, they have always been metal or wood when you have used them
[Glassblower (Master)] pulls out the vase and SPINS it rapidly on the edge of the table to create a pinched waist on it
[Glassblower (Master)] it would depend on the size I suppose
Indigo (Lisa) looks at goblets "Don't people break these when they use them?"
[Ilero (TMO)] *points at goblets* How strong is t'ese? Will t'ey survive travel in backpack, or t'ey need lots of padding?
[Glassblower (Master)] and what sort of colors you want
[Glassblower (Master)] grunts at Indigo and Ilero
[Glassblower (Master)] if you have to ask about breaking them then you cannot afford to use them
Glassblower (Master) slides the vase back into the heat
[Ilero (TMO)] Was t'inking gift for Pa, but he long way from here.
[Glassblower (Master)] then sticks another rod into the heat
[Glassblower (Master)] pulls out the vase
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh small. We wouldn't want to scare her Ladyship with a lifesize likeness.
[Glassblower (Master)] then the other piece and drapes it over the bottom section of the vase,
[Glassblower (Master)] a deep blue line of glass now fused around it like a ribbon
[Glassblower (Master)] she looks up at Branwyn as the vase goes back in
[Glassblower (Master)] when do you want me to work on it?
[Glassblower (Master)] pulls her vase out
[Glassblower (Master)] uses a flat blade to shape and flatten the ribbon of blue into the vase
[Glassblower (Master)] spinning it constantly
[Branwyn (Lisa)] In the next few days perhaps? We should only be here a short while
[Glassblower (Master)] then back into the furnace again
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And I know you must be having to get ready for the Count's party soon.
[Glassblower (Master)] finally pulls out the vase and uses a pair of scissors to snip off the base
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hear that it should be quite the event.
[Glassblower (Master)] glances up at Branwyn, I am not going to the party
[Glassblower (Master)] I have work to do here
[Glassblower (Master)] smooths out the bottom of the vase
[Glassblower (Master)] then immerses it in water
[Glassblower (Master)] steam rises as the water heats up
[Ilero (TMO)] (good thinking, Lisa. I should have thought to use Shurkural somehow, but never occurred to me. I missed too much late last year)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No? I thought everyone in town went.
[Glassblower (Master)] the Mayor picks a handful to go each month
[Glassblower (Master)] told him I would not go this time
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "you have been before then?"
[Glassblower (Master)] I can make an otter for you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That seems odd.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would be wonderful.
[Glassblower (Master)] everyone has been invited at one time or another
[Glassblower (Master)] she pulls out a piece of vellum and a charcol stick
[Glassblower (Master)] makes a quick sketch
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What are they like? The castle is certainly impressive.
[Glassblower (Master)] why do you want to know about the party?
Branwyn (Lisa) looks over at the drawing as she works
[Glassblower (Master)] slides it over to Branwyn
[Glassblower (Master)] it is about six inches long
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That looks very nice. And perhaps a pink color?
[Glassblower (Master)] that would take me two days
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sarengar will be so happy.
[Glassblower (Master)] I can make it pink all over
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes that would be good.
[Master] Time of Day: 05:21 PM. Day 1 Trall, Ze {Mid Summer} 1st, 342 SKR.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Why pink? Arent otters more of a gray?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] About the party? The only reason why I asked is that we are going to the castle tomorrow and will have to miss the events tonight. I was just sorry about that and wondered what an event at the Count's castle is like.
[Glassblower (Master)] the Count will invite you to the next party if he thinks you are interesting if you are staying there
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Gray is such a dull color. Treble is feminine and dull of joy I thought they would appreciate a pink otter.
Shurkural (TMO) nudges Esmerelda and whispers, "Don't ask why a woman asks for a 6 inch long pink glass figure. You don't want to know the answer."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (full - typo)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::nods slowly::
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then we shall just have to make sure we entertain him sufficiently when we see him.
Androp Ilkep (new guy) has a confused look on his face but stays quiet, leaning against the entrance
Shurkural (TMO) leans against the counter and looks at the sketch, and then up at the glassblower through her lashes. "Mind if I ask you some questions about how you perform your craft? It looks fascinating. You make it look easy, but I bet it's really very hard."
[Glassblower (Master)] you have to have good lungs
[Glassblower (Master)] and a steady hand
[Glassblower (Master)] there are not many people who can learn this
[Glassblower (Master)] I make many containers for settings and for wizards
[Glassblower (Master)] wine tastes better in a glass gobblet than wood or metal
[Indigo (Lisa)] What does glass taste like?
[Shurkural (TMO)] I saw the skill and speed of your fingertips as you worked the pipe there. And I can tell you have to be tough, it's so hot in here. But why do you have to have good lungs? Do you have to hold your breath for a long time?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Blowing the pipe..."
[Shurkural (TMO) (to GM only)] Shurkural: Art - Flirting check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Glassblower (Master)] you have to be able to hold your breath, to blow slowly and steady to inflate the object you want to make to the right size without stretching the glass too much
[Glassblower (Master)] glass does not taste so it is better than the taste of wood or metal
[Shurkural (TMO)] You mean you make these by blowing on them?
[Glassblower (Master)] blowing into them
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Werent you watching just now?"
[Shurkural (TMO)] I saw her spinning it on the bar, and layering the blue stripe on it.
[Master] Shurkural moved 188'00".
[Master] Esmerelda moved 115'09".
[Master] Indigo moved 136'08".
[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 88'09".
[Master] Ilero moved 156'05".
[Shurkural (TMO)] (and as one, we all teleport)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((better as one than in pieces))
[Shurkural (TMO)] (gotta remember to simplify how Shur talks. smaller words... ;) )
[Indigo (Lisa)] That makes sense. Maybe we'll have glasses at Court.
[Glassblower (Master)] the Count had me make a set for the Queen's anniversarry two years ago
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Do you get a lot of business? This doesnt seem like such a big town to demand your services so much."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What an honor.
[Glassblower (Master)] I am happy that the Count was pleased with my work
[Glassblower (Master)] I do not need more than that
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So what is your price for our otter?
[Glassblower (Master)] 12 gold pieces
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Then the count keeps you busy with orders?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is quite high
[Glassblower (Master)] we have visitors who wish to have quality objects, the Count entertains a bit
Androp Ilkep (new guy) wipes some sweat off of his brow and then states, "I'll be outside"
[Glassblower (Master)] with a specific color throughout it will look better
Androp Ilkep (new guy) exits the shop
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 31'09".
[Androp Ilkep (new guy) (to Master only)] hot as an oven, and Androp is in leather armor.. yea that'd be a little uncomfortable...
[Glassblower (Master) (to new guy only)] grins yeap is why Toybin is outside also
[Glassblower (Master)] Ilero can make a con check
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Any advice on how to best interest the Count?
[Glassblower (Master)] and Indigo also please
[Shurkural (TMO)] Ilero: CON check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!
[Glassblower (Master)] I do not know what he likes from people like you
Androp Ilkep (new guy) moves over to the fountain and dips a hand in the water
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: CON check: (d20) [1d20=19] 19 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!
[Glassblower (Master)] Indigo starts to sweat and feels like he is about to pass out
[Master] Time of Day: 05:36 PM. Day 1 Trall, Ze {Mid Summer} 1st, 342 SKR.
[Glassblower (Master)] a half hour in his armor inside of this shop watching and talking
[Indigo (Lisa)] I better go outside too. Branwyn let's just buy the otter and go somewhere else.
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 100'02".
[Master] Indigo moved 120'11".
[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 27'09".
Indigo (Lisa) a little weak in the knees he heads over to the door and outside
Androp Ilkep (new guy) splashes some of the water from the fountain on his face and back of his neck in an effort to cool off some
Shurkural (TMO) pouts slightly. "Aww.. this is fascinating stuff. I'm sure I could never do it, but I love watching a master at work. Especially when the final results are so beatiful, but so fragile.
[Glassblower (Master)] water is slightly cool, must be a natural spring or something
[Glassblower (Master)] looks at Branwyn if you want me to start on this tomorrow I can, it takes 5 gold in materials to start
[Glassblower (Master)] I will use crushed rose petals to make the pigment
Androp Ilkep (new guy) sips some of the water after cooling off some
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That will be beautiful. Here you go.
Branwyn (Lisa) holds out the gold, "And the advice on the Count?"
[Glassblower (Master)] I cannot give you anny word on the Count, I am not a noble to know such things
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well you must certain;ly be in his favor to get invited to heis events and be able to refuse with no feelings of obligation.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You must hold a high place with him.
[Glassblower (Master)] with teh Mayor?
[Glassblower (Master)] the Mayor chooses who goes each month
Shurkural (TMO) takes the drawing and slides it in front of her, tracing the lines with a fingertip. "Oh, I bet you know a lot, dearie. Maybe not what he likes, but does he have any pet peeves? Things we shouldn't mention at all, that would make him mad? We don't want to make him angry, either."
[Shurkural (TMO) (to GM only)] Shurkural: Art - Flirting check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Glassblower (Master)] (wait till you see the results of these rolls later on TMO)
[Shurkural (TMO)] (lol. 50/50 chance of either result)
[Shurkural (TMO)] (hopefully the banter is giving me a circumstancial bonus, but no telling)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You never did mention what goes on at these shindigs. Dancing? Drinking? Orgies? Laundry?"
[Glassblower (Master)] There is a dinner and dancing
[Glassblower (Master)] No one stays very late, everyone is back to town before midnight
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Midnight is pretty late..."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "What is very late to you?"
[Glassblower (Master)] it is a long walk back and forth to the Castle
[Glassblower (Master)] over 4 miles there
[Glassblower (Master)] is why the Mayor's group left a while ago
[Glassblower (Master)] (brb)
[Shurkural (TMO)] (now he's got me curious, if I rolled 1s or 20s. :D )
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((well, guess we lost our kidnap victims)
[Shurkural (TMO)] (probably for the best. sneaking into a vampire's castle seems slightly dangerous)
[Glassblower (Master)] b
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((how else do you expect to break out a captive?))
[Shurkural (TMO)] (who invited us up, btw. Mayor, or Count?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (well once we get in the sneaking will commence - but at least we will have been invited first)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((no one, thats the problem))
[Shurkural (TMO)] (not to the party, the next day)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Toybin approached to castle and exerted his Court privilege)
[Shurkural (TMO)] (ah)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I am knight of court - I wish an audience etc)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Count said fine but you have to come back tomorrow)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (here's some cash now run along)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] (no idea why they didn thave him killed on the spot))
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((since he has been openly assaulting people on the road and all))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not sure he wants to call that kind of attention to himself - he just executed Lancelot)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((who what?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (brave virtuous knight - not actually Lancelot)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((wasnt lancelot a traitor?))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but would have to explain to Queen that he just killed one of hers)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ehh - Arthur forgave him in the end)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((yeah, but a vampire is no arthur))
[Shurkural (TMO)] (brb)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and he wasn't really a traitor to the kingdom - he just fell in love with the wrong girl)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it could happen to anyone)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (anyway - Toybin lives)
[Master] across the plaza for those outside
[Master] is the locksmith shop
[Master] there is a small contraption of some sort on the portico in front
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (want to cast knock badly)
[Master] not directly across the plaza is closer to the glassblower than that
[Master] Indigo moved 213'11".
[Master] Indigo moved 271'08".
[Master] Indigo is there in front of that shop
[Master] Indigo moved 5'03".
[Master] so you know which one it is
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (are we done at glass blower?)
[Master] I thought you were, but you can talk to her if you wish
[Master] you paid for her to start on your otter tomorrow
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I'm done)
[Master] there is the druggist across the street, near the locksmith
[Master] the wine merchant is across the plaza
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((she cant help us out. though she did let us know that the people that can are already gone))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I picked glass blower - someone else pick a place)
[Master] the jail and mayors place are on the opposite side of the plaza from you are
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (preferrably not jail)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((okay, next best place, lets break into the mayors house))
[Master] chuckles
[Shurkural (TMO)] (back)
[Master] it appears that the wine merchant, and the locksmith places are both closed up
[Shurkural (TMO)] (was about to suggest locksmith, since it so fascinates Lisa. ;) )
[Master] grins
[Master] looking at the store front
[Master] there is a large wooden stump out front
[Master] with a metal contraption on top
[Master] it is a small door
[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: Open Locks check:(d100) [1d100=55] 55 - ROLL FAILED against 35!!
[Master] with some framework around it
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((I was actually serious about breaking into the mayor's house. there might be some clues there about the count))
[Ilero (TMO)] (not actually picking the lock - the roll is to see what quality the lock appears to be)
[Master] there is a sign in front of the stump
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((letters for example))
[Master] yes we can tackle that first thing next week Marco
[Master] the whole set up looks very high quality
[Master] as Ilero looks closer at it
[Master] there is a small door with a lock and handle on it
[Master] with a metal cage in front of it
[Master] Ilero moved 205'09".
[Master] Indigo moved 8'06".
[Master] Branwyn moved 98'03".
[Master] Shurkural moved 100'02".
[Master] Esmerelda moved 111'07".
[Ilero (TMO)] (is the metal cage covering the lock? Or is it to hold something, like letters?)
[Master] is in front of the lock, you would have to reach through the cage to reach the door and lock
[Ilero (TMO)] (ok, so just to make it harder to reach the lock to pick it)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (marco will get to break into something - will be good)
[Ilero (TMO)] (afaik, I am not being asked to break in, so it's purely academic at this point. Besides, Ilero is primarily a scout, picking locks is not his best skill.)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and lose a hand?)
[Ilero (TMO)] (although for his level he's not too bad at it)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((no reason to break into the locksmith's except as an exercise on lock picking))
[Master] this contraptoin you are looking at is not on the door to the locksmith shop
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so only one left is druggist?)
[Master] it is on a stump out on the portico to the shop
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I still would not put my hand in that cage)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hey! we have an extra hand. Who's holding it?)
[Ilero (TMO)] (no intentions of doing so. ;) )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (remember that glove?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (never mind)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I probably need to kill something - just getting random thoughts. killing would focus my attention)
[Ilero (TMO)] (what does the sign say?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (do need to look up that glove though)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((breaking into someplace would likely foster killing))
[Ilero (TMO)] *points* Look, Branwyn! Is that some sort of demonic duck!
Ilero (TMO) flees while she's distracted.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Duck?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((since we are not particularly stealthy, we will inevitably be confronted by someone who needs killing))
[Master] the sign says "50 gold piece reward to anyone who can open this lock unharmed"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] Doooo it
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I wonder, does unharmed mean the lock or the person opening it?"
Ilero (TMO) chuckles. "50 gold piece reward and jail time for being t'ief for person who open lock, or no gold and crippled or dead t'ief for trying and failing. Clever stunt."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "And does telling someone else to open it for you so they get hurt instead count as me opening it unharmed...?"
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We would probably have to do it in front of him or he wouldn't believe it was us anyway.
[Ilero (TMO)] (of course, I *might* just be mildly paranoid. Am I justifiably suspicious, or not? We may never know!)
[Master] Time of Day: 05:51 PM. Day 1 Trall, Ze {Mid Summer} 1st, 342 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 06:06 PM. Day 1 Trall, Ze {Mid Summer} 1st, 342 SKR.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Details!"
[Ilero (TMO)] So, where next?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Because give me a day and I could whip up a batch of acid that would melt this lock to slag, quick as you please."
[Master (to GM only)] Mayors House moved 32'08".
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I think the mayor's house is sounding more and more like a place of interest. And we know he isnt going to be there now, so we should investigate."
[Ilero (TMO)] (is it still light out, or dark?)
[Ilero (TMO)] (and do I still feel like we're being watched?)
[Master] getting dark
[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Master] and Ilero is not comfortable
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((when is he ever?))
[Ilero (TMO)] (as I said, I *might* be mildly paranoid.... ;)
[Ilero (TMO)] *shifty eyes*
[Master] put some notes on the map for you to remember which place is which
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we can see if the druggist can give you something for that)
[Ilero (TMO)] How bout dinner? Anyone hungry?
Androp Ilkep (new guy) nods, "Yes, I could use some food"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Is there anywhere other than the inn to eat? Because that place is a little far."
[Master] no place that you see
[Master] Mayors House moved 9'02".
[Ilero (TMO)] (Like I said... I *might* be mildly paranoid... but I could swear that whole house just moved...
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] ((heh))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Ilero (TMO)] (the village, the WHOLE village... is *alive*! All of it! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[Master] chuckles
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((wouldnt be the first time))
[Master] so want to wrap up here and start next week finding a way to break into the mayor's house?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] sounds good
[Ilero (TMO)] (sounds like a plan)
[Master] by the way scale on this map is accurate
[Ilero (TMO)] (sorry again for missing the last few sessions of last year. I will get more into the swing of things as I play each week. Tonight I was mostly just snarky and enjoying having people to joke with.)
[Master] and on the large overview map multiply by 10 for real distance
[Master] I appreciate it every week when people are here
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((snark is part of the experience))
[Master] there are no known missed sessions until maybe one at the end of March
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((helps keep bob in line))
[Master] and in May will be the first of our two all day games
[Master] chuckles
[Ilero (TMO)] (only known reasons for me to miss is if something sudden and urgent comes up at work, or wife forgets I have this and schedules something)
[Ilero (TMO)] (but regular late work nights should be past now)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Obama shot down the Death Star petition
[Master] very nice
[Branwyn (Lisa)] so sad
[Master] ahhh, did he give a reason?
[Master] I was looking forward to that part of it
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] death star petition?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The administration does not support blowing up planets
[Master] very nice!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] we want to reduce the deficit not add to it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] would cost 50,000,000,000,000,000
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] you know... I dont want to know
[Branwyn (Lisa)] don't even know what that is
[Master] there is a section on the white house web page
[Master] where you can post a petition to the government
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] 50 quadrillion
[Master] if you get 25,000 signatures they will consider answering it
[Master] someone posted a request for the US to build a death star
[Lisa] if your petition gets enough signatures the White House will issue a response
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] why am I not surprised someone got that many signatures for a starwars reference
[Master] as part of the defense budget
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] thatll teach the white house to have a website
[Master] lol
[new guy] star wars fans so disgruntled
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] nothing good comes from listening to the internet
[Ilero (TMO)] we have a hard enough time keeping the space station up there. How would we build a second moon?
[Lisa] this is great 3rd reason not to build a peace moon/death star
[Master] I do think someone was going to put up one to build the Enterprise next
[Lisa] •Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?
[Master] LOL
[Master] that is awesome
[new guy] there is hope though... disney going forward with the next three movies and lucas is out
[Ilero (TMO)] Peace moon, eh? Somebody besides me reads webcomics. ;)
[Lisa] love it
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ]a shame a new hope is already taken as a starwars movie title
[Master] I love that they pointed out (and I never really noticed before) that Luke NEVER uses the light saber during the first movie except for target practice on the trip out
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] so?
[Master] is one of those things
[Master] he has it from early on
[Master] he uses it later on
[Master] ben and vader have the big fight
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] something like that you dont start swinging around without proper training
[Lisa] if you got handed a weapon like that wouldn't you be using it all over the place?
[Master] etc
[Master] I liek the other mention
[Master] what is the first thing you do when someone hands you a sword? you test the blade
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] the kid would cut his leg off
[Master] so how does anyone still have a hand
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] he stares down the barrel of that thing
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] its amazing he doesnt kill himself right away
[Lisa] he shows remarkable restraint
[Master] Oh and side tracked by the disney comment did anyone see the latest thing at the new Fantasy Land in Disney world in Orlando
[Master] they have a new flying dragon
[Master] they dressed up an ultra light with a dragon costume
[Master] that breathes fire and everything
[Master] it flys over the park
[Lisa] shooting out fire?
[Master] yes!
[Ilero (TMO)] we were there for Christmas last year.
[Master] is fairly high up in the sky though
[new guy] thats pretty cool..
[Lisa] wow
[Master] there is a video of it
[Master] I do think that there will be a new revamp of MGM or what ever that portion of the park is called
[Lisa] I am off for the night
[Master] after they get the new Star Wars films started
[Master] yeah
[Master] I should sleep I suppose
[Lisa] Have a great week everyone :)
[Master] have a great night everyone, thanks for starting the year off right
Lisa has left the game on Fri Jan 11 23:00:51 EST 2013
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] well... that looks safe
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] anyways, nights
[new guy] alright.. see you next week
BiBo!!! has left the game on Fri Jan 11 23:01:28 EST 2013
new guy has left the game on Fri Jan 11 23:01:29 EST 2013

[Ilero (TMO)] Loots!
[Ilero (TMO)] So, dish.
[Ilero (TMO)] what did Shurkural do to the glassblower? ;)
[Master] you failed every roll
[Ilero (TMO)] lol
[Master] one was a 20
[Master] others were close but a fail
[Ilero (TMO)] just ticked her off even more
[Master] you kept getting worse and worse at it
[Ilero (TMO)] that's the problem with a 10 skill
[Master] nods
[Ilero (TMO)] chance of failure is just as high as success
[Master] but better to have the skill and have fun with it then not be able to do things
[Ilero (TMO)] and given that it's me rolling the dice, that means the chance of failure is *higher* than success.
[Master] like Sarengar and his singing
[Master] ok shutting down
[Master] have a great night
[Ilero (TMO)] g'nite
[Ilero (TMO)] you too
