[JohnA] Tralldin is the first day of the new year?

[Master] here

[Master] smile

[Master] checking

[JohnA] np

[JohnA] you show month one as 'Spring' but month 2 as 'late spring'

[Master] Yes

[Master] and yes

[Master] Tralldin is the first day of the new year

[Master] and yes the new year starts in the middle of spring

[Master] after it is warm

[JohnA] how does Klooge do that, he programed that for you?

[Master] I did the XML

[JohnA] you have a calculator to know how many days between events?

[Master] no

[Master] but 28 days a month etc.

[Master] what sort of calculator would you need?

[JohnA] I do not know, when things take say 12 weeks, is the holidays just extra

[Master] yes

[JohnA] nothing happens in days?

[Master] right

[JohnA] so one month from Tralldin is Trallsow. Intresting

[JohnA] how was your 7 day week?

[Master] full and decent

[JohnA] sorry, I think I may name one of my characters after one of these days

[JohnA] Kospese

[JohnA] ok, this is where I get confused. Kloog says today is Bel - Mid fall 6 - I think

[JohnA] Oh hi Lisa

Lisa has received the map basic knarr.

Carissa has received the map basic knarr.

[Lisa] If it were wasy we'd all be bored

[JohnA] Hello Carissa

[Lisa] Hi Carissa!

[Carissa] Hello!

[Carissa] Is it 2019 yet?

[Lisa] lol

[Master] grins

[JohnA] in the southern hemisphere I think it is

[Carissa] Guess I'm moving there then

[JohnA] need a fresh start

[Carissa] Yep

[JohnA] heard radio gig say just redo the count down

[JohnA] 10.

[JohnA] 9.

[JohnA] when you get to one all will be new again

[Carissa] Hmm, I'll try that. We'll see if it works.

[JohnA] Happy Tralldin

[JohnA] I haven't even started drinking yet, but that is funny to me

[Carissa] Based on what I read, that means we're in the new year so it worked, right?

[JohnA] actual I am not sure if we are in month 6 or 7

[Carissa] 7 now, right?

[Carissa] Bob didn't correct the dates I wrote so I think that's right...

[JohnA] then you tell Klooge

[Master] which dates?

[Carissa] In key points on Leg B and C

[Master] ahh did not check that yet

[Carissa] I think both summary pages plus IC

[Master] I was waiting until after tonight to check those

[Carissa] Works for me

[JohnA] the top of Klooge say Bel Mid fall but the moon calendar clearly says Mid fall is 7

[JohnA] does anyone really know what day it is?

Spring has received the map basic knarr.

[Carissa] I wrote it as 6-7-1267, but guess we'll find out later.

[Carissa] Hi Spring!

[Lisa] Hi Spring!

[JohnA] Hi spring

[Spring] Hi Carissa!

[Spring] Hi Lisa!

[Spring] Hi John!

[Lisa] :)

[Spring] I have a cat all over me

[Master] OK fixed

[Master] I was entering people into the database

[Master] Spring logged in

[Master] and I was looking at Fall for John

[Master] and typed in a new player name

[Spring] Hi BOB!

[Master] fixed those entries

[Master] now double checking for John but I an 99% positive the calendar names in Klooge are right

[Master] so today's date is the 6th day of the 7th month

[Lisa] my birthday!

[Master] so Pen Bel De 1267

[Master] grins

[Master] really Lisa?

[JohnA] so it just says the day twice, not the number of the month, I understand now

[Lisa] not in 1267 no

[Lisa] by the 6th day of the 7th month yes

[Carissa] Woo! Got it right, then.

[Carissa] Haha

[JohnA] sweet

[Master] yes to John and Carissa

[Master] and nice to Lisa

[JohnA] Happy unbirthday to you

[Master] I wonder how many others actually know their characters birthdays??

[Lisa] no that is my birthday

[Master] and overall HELLO to everyone

[Spring] I sure don't

[Master] LOL

[Lisa] I don't think I gave Branwyn a birthday

[Master] DOH to Lisa

[Spring] hehehehe

[Master] I knew that

[Master] I thought that tonight would be starting off with out of character figuring out what you are taking on the knarr home

[Lisa] lol - actually I did give her my birthday on her char sheet

[Master] and in character negotiating some of that

[Master] and that is a nice way of remembering Lisa

[Lisa] so yes it is also Branwyn's birthday

[Master] or will be when she catches up to this time line

[JohnA] And she is not here to celebrate

[Master] she is still behind your group on the calendar

[Master] Lisa is writing up those meetings and bits

[Master] while TMO and I fuss over wiki edits and John looks into Calendars

[Lisa] I'm doing what?

[Master] your travels and meetings in Rivers Bend

[Lisa] oh - I started

[Master] the people you want to meet,

[JohnA] you have to roleplay the weeks until we get to you

[Master] LOL

[Lisa] was reading cards we received but then Branadarus distracted her in a totally PG way

[Lisa] then got to the mage tower and stopped

[Master] Lisa is very capable of writing stories that fill up all available time

[Lisa] so will try to do more

[JohnA] you could study a spell while you wait

[Lisa] lol

[Master] there is that too

[Lisa] not going to happen on a honeymoon

[JohnA] not very romantic though

[Master] grins

[Lisa] so can you go away for 8 hrs a day so I can study?

[Master] you knew what you were getting when you got married

[Master] every Friday night for 25 years

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] you know Indigo, I've been doing some counting

[Master] and yes to John, continue

[Indigo (Lisa)] Counting?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Well when I asked Branwyn to join her, it was just Hoffman and I

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] did not think we took up much room

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] now we are four and even with Branwyn not here, we seem kinda booked

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] full on the ship I mean

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yeah I didn't realize that until we set sail. I guess they will have to get to Portown by themselves

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] and by they you mean the newlyweds?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] how will we tell them

[Indigo (Lisa)] yes. They're better at that sort of thing

[Indigo (Lisa)] Unless Qui has an airship somewhere

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] but the ship can handle us and all this luggage

[Indigo (Lisa)] We just will. Not much to do about it

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) giggles

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] no, he did not even make arrangement to contact them again

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I guess no more dragon skulls then

[Indigo (Lisa)] The knarr can take tons of cargo. Just not people for some odd rule of ships

[Carissa] (lol)

[Indigo (Lisa)] I know more about boats than ships to be honest

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) leans in "I won’t tell Hoffman if you won't"

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hoffman and I are probably going to have to spend w week in Portown making enough skiffs to get us home

[Indigo (Lisa)] Speaking of Hoffman

Indigo (Lisa) grins

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] He aske if we can get some nicer tools somewhere along the way

[Indigo (Lisa)] (remember whenever we travel through Drillian swamps we are always dragging skiffs behind us?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (been a long time for that)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] so he can make something for the couple

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (fond memories indeed)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (the a gator would eat a skiff and we would be temporarily screwed)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I guess I could have made that IC)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (wonder if we can make a skiff with wheels that come down when out of water

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] but I am sure he would love to help

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] e loves to help

Indigo (Lisa) grins "That's a good thing. I don't even remember if we have any in Portown"

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I appreciate you letting us tag along

[Indigo (Lisa)] We will need about 6 or 7

[Master] (so you do not have to wait, the answer is no you have nothing left in Portown at this point)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Don't be silly, Miranda. You are one of us

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so we have a big skiff making festival when we get back)

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) tilts her head a bit "I appreciate that"

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (we need to explore the rules of carpentry now, yea!)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (how many boats can a carpenter make while on a ship)

[Master] boatbuilding

[Master] and checking

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (we are actually making witches.....)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (because they float)

[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.NWP-Boatwright

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo has shipwright and boating so he should be able to make them - he has before - though Hoffman could at least help to make it go faster)

mharm-15549 has received the map basic knarr.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hi Michael!

[mharm-15549] Hey All!

[Carissa] Hi Michael!

[mharm-15549] We all float down here

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] A carpenter might build a short footbridge, a wooden clock, or a dumbwaiter system these tasks will require a proficiency check. Larger projects such as major bridges, boats, or catapults, require the aid of a character with the engineering proficiency.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (Hello Michael)

[Spring] hi Michael

[JohnA] This character knows the basics of working with wood and can create with no check required small structures, fences, platforms, cabinets, carts and wagons.

[JohnA] we just need to get a blacksmith to make us some iron rims

[Master] just have to guess John on where to purchase the wood etc.

[mharm-15549] huh

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so we can just either see about picking some up in rivers bend or hang out in Portown while Indigo makes them)

[Master] exactly

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sorry I was just hoping Hoffman could help)

[Master] yes he can

[JohnA] should be able to cut wood, but whatever

[JohnA] but until them, we row

[Master] cutting fresh green wood would work for a pinch but you want dried out seasoned wood for a good boat

[Indigo (Lisa)] yup

[Master] but first

[Master] what are you doing about taking what?

[Master] anything from Tiberius' place

[Master] who goes to get that

[Master] Hoffman's etc.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but we are not making a good boat - we are making 3 person skiffs we drag behind us and use when the water overtakes the land)

[JohnA] Hoffman and Miranda have their stuff, there was not much

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo was supposed to but he forgot)

[JohnA] and they have porters ;)

[mharm-15549] I can go get the person affects from his place if need be

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we don't have to go backwards because my character was too wrapped up in lost chalices and big rewards and his girlfriend to remember to run to Branadarus' house)

[JohnA] we gonna pull into port to load now that the mystery is over

[Master] you have not left the city yet

[Master] today is the day to go get things

[Indigo (Lisa)] (oh)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (kitten trying to pull a lit lamp down on himself)

[JohnA] Is Branwyn’s things all packs?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes)

[mharm-15549] (Neith and I won’t go through his stuff or anything, just going to grab eh most personal stuff for them if you want)

[JohnA] (in the scroll?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (as much as could fit I believe)

[mharm-15549] oh yeah, I keep forgetting about the scroll :)

[JohnA] and scroll in sealed case?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (bob would have to rule on how much fits)

[JohnA] brb

[Master] 10 by 10 room, 1000 cubic feet

[mharm-15549] how much stuff could he possibly have :)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes and is usually kept on a person rather than sitting with the party pack)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Branadarus is tricky - have to get by servants who don't know Branadarus isn't coming back)

[Spring] how full is it already?

[mharm-15549] so nice of him to provide us with a note or something...

[mharm-15549] RIGHT BOB?

[Master] nope to Michael

[Indigo (Lisa)] “May I get anything for you while you wait, Marquessa? It seems like you and Lord Branadarus are travelling again already.” “Nothing for me, Jasper, thank you for offering,” Branwyn replied. “And yes, we are travelling. It will be a bit of an extended trip into the Mist and communication will be much slower coming from there than what your Lord is accustomed to. He has a tendency to pack lightly, but this is no camping trip. It is a voyage to meet other royalty and more diplomatic in nature. Admiral Indigo of Drillian shall be here in about a week’s time with our knarr to sail to meet us. I told the Admiral to stop by and see if you had perhaps put together some of Lord Branadarus’ things that he probably will need and would not have thought of for an extended trip. I would appreciate it if you would take care of that for us.” “I’ll see what I can do,” Jasper said a bit apprehensively. “Wife! I am ready,” Tiberius shouted as he ran down the stairs with a small bag.

[Master] grins

[mharm-15549] :)

[mharm-15549] well huh

[mharm-15549] Lisa got it all sorted

[Indigo (Lisa)] (proper packing cannot happen when you practice at deception)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (now for the scroll - Branwyn has a 4th level library worth of books packed up)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we have things like the chalice of Charon and a large chest full of gold, etc.)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (things you don't want lying around the hold when pirates attack the ship)

[JohnA] do you have a count on the number of books?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (not sure how much room the library takes when it is packed into boxes)

[Master] you can fit all the books into the knarr

[Master] easily

[Indigo (Lisa)] (bob? he just tells me what level spell the library is)

[Master] but not into he scroll

MarioCS has received the map basic knarr.

[Master] there is a formula on the site for how many books it actually is

[JohnA] Hell Mario

[mharm-15549] Hey Mario!

[mharm-15549] Is TMO here too?

[MarioCS] Hello Hello!

[MarioCS] He's not with me...

[mharm-15549] lol

[Spring] Hi Mario!

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hi Mario!)

[Carissa] Hi Mario!

[mharm-15549] Sorry buddy, just tying to figure out if the whole gang is here :)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (What I would put in there is all the ITEMS from the Party Pack page cont)

[JohnA] Another project for me, listing books, so when we lose them we can claim on insurance

[Indigo (Lisa)] (the check for 10K gold and the majority of the gold and gems)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (then as many boxes of the library that will fit - the rest go in the hold)

[JohnA] the real chalices

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that work Bob?)

[Master] yes

[JohnA] the rarest books in the scroll first

[mharm-15549] Yes

[mharm-15549] Smart

[JohnA] 95 books

[JohnA] plus a few spell books

[Master] see almost all of it is on the site

[mharm-15549] That doesn't sound like too many if they are neatly packed up

[Master] 5 pounds per book

[Indigo (Lisa)] (brb - updating pack)

[JohnA] they are not paperback

[mharm-15549] And they may be pretty thick

[mharm-15549] depending on the material

[mharm-15549] good call john

[JohnA] I should say the actual spell books first

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Ok - party pack page updated - I left us with our usual party pack scrolls and potions, some gold and gems to spend if needed)

[JohnA] so no issue loading, we have something for Lord Brand, just not everything

[Indigo (Lisa)] (everything else in scroll)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (btw - we will probably need to sell or ditch the dragon head in rivers bend)

[JohnA] We can sell it here, or donate it to the church

[Indigo (Lisa)] (unless someone wants to walk it back to Jistelle)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I have no preference)

[JohnA] let it on the dock "accidently"

[JohnA] what, that's not mine

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so we can have Indigo run by the Branadarus house?)

[Master] yes

[Indigo (Lisa)] (will he get anything or do you want to play it out?)

[Master] you can tell me what you did

[Master] how it went

[Indigo (Lisa)] (how do I know how it went?)

[Master] I trust you to tell a good story

Hoffman (JohnA)] so Indigo, How did it go?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I don't want to play the NPCs)

Hoffman (JohnA)] did you get his bags?

[Master] LOL

[Carissa] (just checked - it was Hoffman who chopped off the head....)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (yes)

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno

[Master] (ok setting up an NPC to talk)

[Carissa] (encourage by Shur so wouldn't it be up to you two what to do with it? :) )

Hoffman (JohnA)] (it was more a fit of rage)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (or just give him a bag and we'll open it - don't want to start a big thing)

[Carissa] (Haha)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (he's over it)

[Master] OK

[Master] so Indigo arrives at the Tiberius' residence

[mharm-15549] I'm fine doing whatever if Lisa doesn’t want to talk to NPC

[mharm-15549] whatever I can do to help

[Master] and his valet brings out a large leather sack,

Hoffman (JohnA)] (you be the servant Michael)

[mharm-15549] LOL

[Master] saying this is what Lord Branadarus takes with him when he goes out on trips

[Master] then points to two large chests and THIS is what he should take with him when he goes off on his jaunts

Hoffman (JohnA)] (why is no one just some person walking down the street)

Indigo (Lisa) looks around the foyer

TMO has joined the game on Fri Jan 19 20:03:24 EST 2018

TMO is receiving the map basic knarr...

Hoffman (JohnA)] (Hey TMO!)

TMO has received the map basic knarr.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Glad he didn't want to take the furniture

[mharm-15549] There he IS

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thanks!

[MarioCS] Michael, I found a TMO!

[Carissa] Hi TMO!

[Indigo (Lisa)] (HI TMO)

[TMO] (sorry I'm late - had a couple of detours I had to make)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (bet you wish you had a Hoffman with you Indigo)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[Spring] Hi TMO

Hoffman (JohnA)] (I hope you at least took a Hugh)

Indigo (Lisa) slings the sack over his shoulder and heads back to the dock

[Indigo (Lisa)] (just one sack)

[Spring] sorry I am distracted. discovered my cat has ingrown claws, have to make vet appointment

[Indigo (Lisa)] (poor kitty)

[mharm-15549] I sympathize

[Spring] I’ll have to get her on a grooming schedule. poor old lady

[Master] SNee and or Kenna have anything to take with you?

[Master] Hugh has a baby to take?

[Master] or?????

[mharm-15549] hold on

[Master] the baby does not take up one of the slots

[mharm-15549] lol

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] A Baby?

[mharm-15549] one moment

[mharm-15549] dogs

[Spring] Kenna has all her stuff in her pack

[Spring] she was a pilgrim and now a missionary, so not much stuff

[Spring] I haven't thought about Snee

[Spring] thinking right now

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I would love to take care of a baby, it was my job before I joined the DragonSlayers

[Spring] ok, Kenna will tell Snee what to take and it won't be much, heh

[mharm-15549] Okay

[Spring] essentially same stuff Kenna has on her character sheet

[mharm-15549] So yes, Mercy

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] and before I became a mage

[mharm-15549] Can I put her in my pack?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (thought Hugh was putting mercy in a home)

[mharm-15549] Shoot, was that was I decided?

[mharm-15549] huh

[mharm-15549] I'm an idiot

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] but I can still do that without disrupting my deal with Branwyn

[Indigo (Lisa)] (not sure Michael)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Right, it's not religious

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Miranda has no deal with Branwyn that Branwyn knows about anyway)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] you are giving up the baby, she will be an orphan?

[mharm-15549] So Lisa, how about that favor from Indigo? A favor for a favor? Maybe the celestry will take her in and provide a healthy life for her?

[mharm-15549] She'll be educated

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] you can't give up a baby

[mharm-15549] And I'll Owe Indigo one hell of a fobor

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I very well could be wrong - just remember us talking about it

[mharm-15549] John I don’t want to give up the baby :)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo?)

[mharm-15549] I just realize if we get in a fight It's kind of difficult to deal with

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (she has to concentrate on magic and priestly things)

[mharm-15549] Didn't Indigo get a favor for the Chalices?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (just know if we are in combat you don't get to drop the baby and pick up a sword in the same round is all)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Who's baby is it?

[mharm-15549] Sorry Favor?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (you are encumbered)

[mharm-15549] LOL

[mharm-15549] LOL

[mharm-15549] :)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (you won't hit a guy with a baby would you?)

[Carissa] (http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Jul2817)

[Master] throw the baby to the alligator

[Carissa] (That was the chat where Mercy stuff was debated last)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (rolls a one, you hit him with the baby)

[mharm-15549] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4Kph6UKQJM

[MarioCS] The wolves can protect a baby, I see it on FB all the time

[mharm-15549] just for you bob

[Spring] hehehehe

[mharm-15549] Throw the baby to the alligators

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Thx Carissa! I don't remember - and it is Michael’s decision)

[mharm-15549] Input?

[mharm-15549] It will be a hard Journey and I want the best for her

[Master] grins at Michael

[mharm-15549] I know Neith can help me

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I will take the baby

[Carissa] These wolves? You sure you trust them? Not dingos but still...

[TMO] (sounds like an IC discussion between Miranda and Hugh)

[mharm-15549] Would you mind helping me with her John?

[Carissa] And np Lisa. I can't remember much of it, but know we talked about it at some point :)

[mharm-15549] Honestly at this point she has like four mothers and three fathers

[mharm-15549] It's kind of funny

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Wait, I am supposed to help Orphans, where are her parents (suddenly mad)

[mharm-15549] One moment getting into character

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

[Indigo (Lisa)] (my characters don't want any responsibility - FYI)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Her parents are dead Miranda. Neith and I have been caring for her since then.

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

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] it is certainly not funny, a baby without her parents

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Wasn't in character.... but fair point)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Miranda? We both love her, Neith and I, but are we the best parents in your opinion?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] We want the best for her

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Do you think that's with us? IN combat?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I may no longer be a priest of Idun, but this is still my responsibility

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Looks at Miranda

[Carissa] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFL0REtkocY)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Stares for a moment thinking

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] WHY would you take her from her parents?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] For the second time, They are dead...

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] She was abandoned when we found her

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) calming down

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] what would her parents want for her

[Master] (nice choice Carissa)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Sighs

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I don't know to be honest

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Neith and I want to care for her

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

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] What religion were they?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Can we ensure that Mercy won’t come to harm?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I have no idea. It was an abandoned encampment

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) bows head "there are no guarantee in life

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Nods

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Then we'll take her with us

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] And we'll do what we can

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] if you accept this responsibility, you must take that risk, come what may

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (And since Lisa doesn't want anything to do with her, I’ll go out of my way to have Indigo hold her...)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Nods

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] come what may

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Very well

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'll need a papoose for my pack

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Bob, can I do that?)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YsMvzgeSuI

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] but I will help

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Grins

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] You may regret that

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] She doesn't cry

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] the others think she's creepy

[Spring] baby slings are ancient and perennial

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] maybe under developed lungs

[Master] yes as Spring says

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] or she may just be content

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (rolls eyes. Thank you spring. :)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Mostly concerned about having her in the pack)

[Spring] and you can do them lots of ways

[Carissa] (and nice to John)

[Spring] I used to have a kid in front and backpack in back

[Spring] IRL

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (Obi Wan singing, me geeking out, every time)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Wow. Okay then

[Carissa] Use the old sail to make one?

[Spring] spouse had other kid in front and backpack in back

[MarioCS] I am back at the keyboard.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Hoffman will make a special cart for her when he can

[Kel (MarioCS)] Open the Dragon’s mouth and gently cradle her btw the incisors. Slowly close the mouth

[Kel (MarioCS)] Armor plated carrier!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] That is actually hilarious Mario

[Carissa] Haha and technically it could maybe work. Until she gets stabbed by a tooth and envenomated.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (we are leaving the skull behind, maybe the next one)

[Master] by my count that is everyone that is a significant NPC that has been dealt with now

[Master] except Prince Loplin

[Carissa] and time to go!

[Master] and if anyone really wants to have that conversation with him

[Master] grins

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (Who?)

[Spring] I wonder if we could put some kind of coating on the teeth

[Carissa] Father of Sam who wasn't told Sam left.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Branwyn will write her letter)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (he only knows some of the party)

[Carissa] Sorry. Guardian. Adopted father.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (was waiting for the Wu, but ok. I do not know him)

[Carissa] lol

[Carissa] Neither does Shi so...not it?

[Carissa] Letter sounds better.

[Master] and so

[Master] house is packed up

[Master] moved out to the knarr

[Master] Indigo have Tiberius' things

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (sorry we kinda lost your son, but found a daughter, so all good)

[Master] you can leave in the late afternoon

[Master] or stay in the city and leave in the morning

[Carissa] (Sorry your son left with us and didn't tell you and is kinda a hostage but doesn't realize it? Good luck?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] well when you put it like that...

[Master] you are sailing down river to Lake Piepus

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHZJej98_T0

[Master] Gold Hills will be on your starboard side

[Master] the next port you could stop in is Bywater

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) sighs at shores of home

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] test

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh good

[Master] roughly 200 miles to Bywater

[Kel (MarioCS)] /signs as he realizes he is going the WRONG way, again...

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] are we making good time?

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) knitting

[Master] you have not left yet

[Master] one last call on anything in Dryads Lair

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Can I get an estimate of days?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oh I thought you said we had)

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] leaving messages, etc.

Kel (MarioCS) sighs

[Kel (MarioCS)] (wow, super lag)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Done and done for Shi)

[Kel (MarioCS)] that took over 15 secs to show p

[Kel (MarioCS)] grr, that one was instant

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (four ready to go)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I think I’m good

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I think we haven't forgotten anything but then again I'll remember it when we need it most

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

[Kel (MarioCS)] Kel has everything he 'owns' on his person

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (No note to leave for Sadira? ;) )

[Kel (MarioCS)] (she never called me back!)

[Master] Michael you can hope to get 36 miles a day going down stream like this

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha)

[TMO] (Ilero makes sure to retrieve the tribute to Mad Thief back home from where it was stashed. Assuming he didn't grab it before we left the first time)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] So roughly 6 days

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (hope)

[Master] nods

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] We are good on supplies, food and the such?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Keyword: roughly)

[Master] ok to TMO

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] The Knarr is properly stocked?

[TMO] (also keeping the black dragon hide we cut off the dragon. Planning on making some armor out of it)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Do we have a backup sail?

[Master] no to backup sail

[Kel (MarioCS)] (dragon skin)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Anyone want to grab some cloth for patches?_

[Kel (MarioCS)] (sure it will work, dragons fly!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Does anyone need to use the bathroom before we go?

[Kel (MarioCS)] Mercy?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] always a good idea

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oh! Shi grabbed a few colored ribbons from...somewhere?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I don't want to get a few miles downstream and then have to turn around

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (ha Michael)

[Master] yes to Carissa

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Thanks)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Yes I got Mercy

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

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (Hoffman will offer his city clothes, as long as Miranda is not looking)

[Master] to be clear, Snee, Hugh, Neith all think Dryads Lair is the biggest only city worth seeing

[Master] Shi and Kel have not ever seen anything like Dryads Lair

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I have no idea

[Master] you have heard rumors of Rivers Bend being a backwater city

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (this is why we are leaving)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Hugh has always wanted to explore

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (yeah Snee doesn't really think other cities exist)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Neith doesn't like cities remember?

MarioCS has left the game on Fri Jan 19 20:36:13 EST 2018

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] She only went to the city to see the Celestry

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] She like the wilds

[Master] Branwyn, Miranda, Indigo Hoffman, Ilero all thought Rivers Bend was the biggest largest city they had ever seen

[Master] before they got to Dryads Lair

[TMO] (*wanted to see)

[Master] grins at TMO

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

[Master] so some characters will find Rivers Bend much larger and better than expected because those in Dryads Lair has put it down so much

[Master] and others will like coming back to a familiar city

[Master] brb Nyrma just got home

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] So everyone, just to make sure you all know, This is Qui Fon, he travels with us, He was away training but now he is back

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Bob married? I feel dumb)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (for a long time)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] and you should have met Brother Foto, he did not make the last trip but we are all going home now.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Married for a long time or me being dumb for a long time) ;)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (about as long as I)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] A travelling dwarf?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (the first thing, Michael)

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

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

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (smiles at Michael, How would you know?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (everybody is dumb sometimes, but if we are lucky, it's brief)

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] Yes, Traveling is what makes me who I am

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Oh. Well that's...novel.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] that's wonderful

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (whoops)

[Snezana (Spring)] that's wonderful

[Snezana (Spring)] (I have seen people chat as multiple characters. how do you switch so fast?)

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] I have met all sorts of people but this is the most interesting collection

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods slowly

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] (do pr do not, there is no try)

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] (or)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Mario jump ship? She needs elven backup here)

[Snezana (Spring)] I am Snezana, priestess of Aclim, and I hope that traveling will make me who I am meant to be

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] My Procog name, it shall be done, in time

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Procog?

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] (I was about to say god bless you, but that was Achoo)

[Snezana (Spring)] (heheheh)

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] He watches over all and sends myself and others like me to help when it is needed

Lisa has left the game on Fri Jan 19 20:43:55 EST 2018

[Snezana (Spring)] (I just realized he probably would have seen by clothes and religious symbols just what Snee and Kenna are)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Oh no

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] losing people left and right

[TMO] (I'm still here)

[Snezana (Spring)] (me too)

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

TMO dances

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] (not everyone knows all religions)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (All jumping ship. Is it sinking?)

[Master] chuckles

[Snezana (Spring)] (but from the same pantheon I would think they would)

[Snezana (Spring)] (at least be able to recognize them on sight, if not having any familiarity with rituals and such)

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] I came upon Hoffman trying so hard but without proper training, something he sounds foolish

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] What kind of help?

[Master] Mario is trying to restart things and will be back

[Master] I presume that Lisa is too but has not text me yet

[Master] and yes to Spring

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] Any way we can? What is your name? What is your quest?

[Master] anyone with the Religion proficiency can tell

[Master] without any checks

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] (What is your favorite color?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi. I simply want to travel

[Master] red like the blood of my enemies

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] that's dark bob

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha)

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

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] Then we are perfect for each other

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Only if orcs bleed red)

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

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] (so you like romulins Bob?)

[Snezana (Spring)] (hahahaha)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well what do you do for fun?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] The dwarves I've met are...not fun.

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] [QuiFon Ruminell]]: Tumbling check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 9!!

[QuiFon Ruminell]] (JohnA) tries a flip and falls on his face

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Tries not to say "I told you so")

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Snickers

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] I guess trying to make others laugh

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Yes! Like that...

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] ouch

[QuiFon Ruminell]] (JohnA) picks himself up

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Oh? They never seemed like they did it on purpose.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] They just...well, they were so stuffy.

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] trying to change that, I am

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Hmm, if that's true, there might be hope for you.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) I won't hold any hope, though...

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] are you alright?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] bleeding anywhere?

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] certain, young lady, thank you for caring

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] a mire blimp it was

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] not even a bump

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh good

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] we really need to walk into a tavern together and see the natives jump

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] And why would you leave your loving rolling hills, did I hear them say Kenna?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Jump? They usually stare so far.

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] Ell for you sure, They believe in you

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Snee and I are missionaries now

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] they think I am a myth

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we are posted to Drillian with this group

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] they believe in Mythrl more than me

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] but I originally left my home on pilgrimage to Dryad's Lair, for the temples

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Speaking of myth...do you actually eat rocks?

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o4s1KVJaVA

[QuiFon Ruminell]] (JohnA) bows head

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] no

[Master] OK so Mario is trying but cannot get in

[Master] so I am going to save and close and restart

[TMO] ok

[Master] 2 minutes

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] ok

[Master] waves

Lisa has received the map basic knarr.

[JohnA] that's 1

[Master] but the four of you are all set

[Master] and I think that Mario and Carissa are

[Master] right?

[Master] any last requests TMO?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum: Religion check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 8!!

[TMO] to not die?

[Master] nice

[JohnA] seconds the motion

[TMO] last requests just sounds so final

[Master] see TMO John does not want you to die either

Carissa has joined the game on Fri Jan 19 21:02:36 EST 2018

Carissa is receiving the map basic knarr...

[TMO] I appreciate that

Carissa has received the map basic knarr.

[Master] looking out for your welfare over his

[JohnA] well I like making new characters

[Master] and the final decision is sailing out of the harbor now after loading or waiting till morning

[Carissa] All set here

[TMO] when is the tide, is a question someone who knows about sailing might ask

[JohnA] 1 vote for now

[Master] no tides

MarioCS has joined the game on Fri Jan 19 21:03:51 EST 2018

MarioCS is receiving the map basic knarr...

MarioCS has received the map basic knarr.

[JohnA] oh no not a tide tide schedule too

mharm-15549 has joined the game on Fri Jan 19 21:04:07 EST 2018

mharm-15549 is receiving the map basic knarr...

[Carissa] If we sail out now, how far before we have to anchor for the night?

[JohnA] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxELf7F5xlY

[TMO] we have no moon(s)?

mharm-15549 has received the map basic knarr.

[mharm-15549] re we go

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (that’s what I was just wondering)

[Master] two moons

[Master] but you are on rivers and lakes

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (are they opposed?)

[Carissa] (Ooo love ELO)

[Master] so the tides are minimal

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oh yes, no tide until we get to brackish water)

[JohnA] (yea Carissa)

[Master] you would make it down the Narva to at least Pilk

[Carissa] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BmEGm-mraE)

Carissa is receiving the map Paths Home...

Carissa has received the map Paths Home.

[Carissa] So somewhere we could spend the night in safety? Then no reason to wait that I can see.

[Carissa] Besides, longer we stay more likely Loplin will find us...

[JohnA] (which one is the bad moon bob?)

[Master] Old moon and Young moon

[Carissa] (No bad moon? So no rivers overflowing. We're good)

[mharm-15549] I’ll be back. Bathroom

[Master] but no to staying in Pilk

[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DL-Pilk

[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DryadsLairPrincipality

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (no earthquakes and lightning)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I hate laptop keyboards)

[JohnA] [QuiFon Ruminell]]: Omen Reading check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL FAILED against 12!!

[Carissa] Ah there's the map. So not getting that far really.

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] We will have smooth sailing for many days

[Master] as you say avoid potential complications

[Master] and get out of town early

[Master] moderately safe space

[TMO] yes

[Master] that is one yes

[Carissa] True. Not far, but still not bad idea.

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] (I voted yes a while ago, and technically 5 votes)

[Master] grins at John

[Master] and so with John Carissa and TMO saying yes

[Master] that will carry the day to move things along

[MarioCS] yes

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] (who's in charge?)

[Master] and so

[Master] Kel

[Master] or Indigo

[Carissa] Or Ilero

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] (I guess I have it backwards, still no Wu)

[Carissa] Rock Paper Scissors?

[TMO] Scissors

QuiFon Ruminell (JohnA)] Spock

[MarioCS] Kizard

[MarioCS] and a lizard too

[Carissa] Wrong. The answer was fire. You all lose.

[Master] I actually have no clue who IS in charge versus who THINKS they are in charge

[JohnA] (as long as someone knows the reference I do not sound crazy)

[Carissa] (Haha no I got it)

[MarioCS] (I can tell you who thinks they are NOT in charge...)

[Master] but right now

[TMO] rank is an interesting question, actually.

[Carissa] I can tell you who Tiberius put in charge, who if going by default is in charge, but on ship? Think it is Indigo :)

[Penelope (Master)] HEAVE YOU SURLLY DOGS

[MarioCS] (if Kel is in charge, we sail North, towards Divaekah)

[Penelope (Master)] BEFORE YOU GET FLOGGED

[mharm-15549] back

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] So Hugh, did I hear you call her Mercy?

[TMO] yah, but who gave Tiberius the rank to give orders? ;)

mharm-15549 Nods

[TMO] (on boat, Indigo is in charge)

[mharm-15549] Because Mercy from the God's were granted to her

[Carissa] (Himself. For what it probably doesn't count for ;) )

[mharm-15549] We saved her from a Freezing Death

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Beautiful

[Penelope (Master)] PUSH THOSE ARMS

[Penelope (Master)] LIKE BACK ON THE FARMS

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Sounds like you are committed to her

[Penelope (Master)] HEAVE THAT ROPE

mharm-15549 I just wish I was better at it

[Penelope (Master)] YOU SCURRLY DOPE

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] but what about Neith?

mharm-15549 Smiles grimly

[mharm-15549] Neith Loves her too

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

mharm-15549 She's much better at it then me

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Pssst, you're not Hugh yet ;) )

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

Hoffman (JohnA)] I'm rowing Are we in a hurry no one is chasing us yet

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I am now

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

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (What a Hugh-e relief)

[Penelope (Master)] PUT ON THE SPEED

[Penelope (Master)] SO WE GET A LEAD

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] THAT is not what I meant, though it is important

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (grons)

[Penelope (Master)] IF YOU WANT TO SLEEP

[Penelope (Master)] IT COULD BE IN THE DEEP

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I mean are you committed to Neith?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Sighs. "It's complicated. I'm devoted to her and she to I. But it's complicated."

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Shrugs

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "Woman"

[MarioCS] I am back at the keyboard.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (No one take offense to that. Just roleplaying)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Just checking for anything odd...fishermen in the harbor as we leave, Loplin chasing us, giants on ice...you know)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (LOL)

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) give Hugh a look

Kel (MarioCS) lashed into seat, rowing

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) knitting

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) watching the scenery

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Turns to Miranda

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] You ever been in a relationship?

[Kel (MarioCS)] you could paddle, you know

[TMO] (row row row your ship, quickly to it you drips!

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I am in a relationship

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] and I am a woman

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Grins

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] you act like that is an issue

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Who could paddle?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Then it's different for everyone

[Kel (MarioCS)] exactly

Snezana (Spring) writing in a wee book

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I can never seem to communicate well with Woman

Kel (MarioCS) looks away. grinning

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Shrugs

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] would you rather be in a relationship with a man?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Don't take offense, it's me not you

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] they are impossible

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) I can barely lift a sword and you think my paddling would make a difference?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Snorts

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] my point

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) /me smiles at Shi

[Kel (MarioCS)] I don’t expect you too. how the pups and Klee?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] What did you mean about orphans earlier?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Interested

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Happy! Look at Fete flying nearby! Wolves...not so much.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I heard you mention you took care of them?

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) less space for them this time, Fete has the world to him/her self

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) HE doesn't need an airship.

Kel (MarioCS) eyes open wide

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) can you imagine? an airship?! traveling up there, like we are now, just up there

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] My God has charged me to take care of them, but as I gave it up to concentrate on Magic, I am not sure what Branwyn would say

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I am deciding it is still my job

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) smiles

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] It's always a changeup when we deal with Branwyn

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Again, I'm with Kenna. Feet on the ground is preferred.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] You never know what we can expect

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Laughs

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'm sure your responsibilities are just as important to you as when you first me her

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) go anywhere...anywhere! no roads or rivers..wow

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] but she is no longer an orphan, if you two are committed to being three

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) I probably don’t even have to row on one of those

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Yes, well. Maybe Aunt Miranda will be a good role model so that we don't screw her up too much

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) But what could you see from up there? You could go anywhere, but you wouldn't see this.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) gestures to the passing horizon

[Kel (MarioCS)] /perplexed

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) what do you mean? you can see EVRYTHING!!!!

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shakes head

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] each child is different

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Not easily if at all. Fete didn't see those orcs earlier. He was too high. He saw the wall, but not them.

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) hmmm, I suppose you wouldn’t see the small stuff, but you could see cities , and mountains, and lakes

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] As you are not her natural parents, you can only do so much

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) if the enemy is advancing, and from where, and how strong

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Protect her, keep her health

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) "Perhaps you're right."

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) You could see*

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) But the small stuff is just as interesting. Like Fete. He's small. You wouldn't be able to see him.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] listen to her, even now she has something to say

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] and her education

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Stares at Miranda

Kel (MarioCS) ponders

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "She doesn't make much noise..."

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) I would still love to ride in one

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] it is peculiar how quiet his girl is

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Better you than me.

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) looks at Kenna for a sec

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] never seen a child like that

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] What do her eyes say to you

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Walks over to Mercy

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Looks at her

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Turns to Miranda

[Kel (MarioCS)] (opens dragon head, peers in)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "Is there a trick to this?"

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

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] to me? hmmmm

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] and be careful how much teaching you force upon her. Facts are important but do not tell her who she is

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (what DO her eyes tell me?)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] She's a big baby that's who she is

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (just like her dad)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (that was supposed to be indigo)

Neith of Inholt (mharm-15549) Neith looking at Miranda like she sprouted two heads, mouth slightly opened

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (sigh)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

Neith of Inholt (mharm-15549) Looks at Hugh

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (LAMA)

[Penelope (Master)] Howard has spent more time with her, grins

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (Laughing at myself again)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Looks at Neith, Shrugs

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (not sure I am ready to roleplay for a strange baby that is not mine)

Neith of Inholt (mharm-15549) Pinches the bridge of her nose, and walks away

[Penelope (Master)] and you are going to ride at anchor for the night?

[Master] and you are going to ride at anchor for the night?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Hugh Still looking at mercy

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) mutters to himself

[QuiFon Ruminell]] (JohnA) looks at Lisa

Indigo (Lisa) uses spyglass to take a look at the banks

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "gotta be a trick to this"

JohnA looks at Lisa

[Master] starboard is the cliffs

[Master] port is unknown territory

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) walks up to Mercy

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] May I

[Master] as you head south you get into the steam lands

[Master] on that side

[Master] not yet but tomorrow you will be

[Indigo (Lisa)] I think we should anchor near the cliffs. What do you think?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Does that obs roll hold? Should I roll again?)

Hoffman (JohnA)] Sounds like a good plan sir

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] As you say, Admiral.

[Kel (MarioCS)] lots of flying creatures live on cliff sides

[Kel (MarioCS)] but Ilero can make more hand puppets, so...

[TMO] [Ilero]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Looks at Miranda

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Hands over Mercy Gently

[Master] and yes to Kel and Ilero

[Master] Indigo with the spy glass spots lots of birds on the cliffs

[Indigo (Lisa)] Things can come out of anywhere. I was just thinking if we stayed near the cliffs we wouldn't have as many people disappearing in wilderness

[Indigo (Lisa)] There are a lot of birds up there though

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) holds her gentle and hums to her

[Indigo (Lisa)] (big birds or little birds)

[Kel (MarioCS)] lets use Fete to draw out any evil flyers

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (all bird are evil to my wife and daughter)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (hmmm)

[Master] mostly smaller birds, seagull or smaller

[Master] some larger ones

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I like birds because they eat bugs and all bugs are evil)

[Kel (MarioCS)] I'm open to docking by the cliffs

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (bugs are evil)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (lol)

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

Ilero (TMO)] Birds make good lookouts.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Sorry cat required attention. What?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (oh, nothing...)

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

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) rocks while the boat rocks

[Indigo (Lisa)] (heads cliff?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] A flip of the ol' kLoOge.Coin results in: Heads

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (So head-ing to the cliff_

[Indigo (Lisa)] (okay?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Any birds nearby?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Like in talking range?)

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) looks for rocks

[Master] no to talking range

[Master] you are staying a hundred yards off the cliffs

[Master] to make sure you avoid the rocks

[Indigo (Lisa)] STARBOARD HO TO ANCHOR!

Ilero (TMO)] (yah, too close is bad)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Also works)

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) hums some more

[Master] so watches

[Master] and rolls

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Kel and Jenn - they are due)

[Master] Time of Day: 07:52 PM. Day 6 Pen ___ de, Bel {Mid Fall} 6th, 1267 TGR.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (YES)

[Master] grins

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Shi requests a watch with Indigo)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Should I untie Kel from his bench?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] or perhaps I should retie you?

[Kel (MarioCS)] um... I can untie myself, thanks

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] your sweet Shi does not do a very good job on those knots

[Kel (MarioCS)] only if you want to pull guard duty alone

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] ahhh you like to be self binding?

[Ilero]] (TMO) escapes to the other end of the boat.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] that is interesting

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (this is what I sung to my kids)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jte9PzIu9T4

Kel (MarioCS) visibly nervous

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) barely in hearing range, not close

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (How far can elves here now?)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] here and now?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (excellent hearing, say three times human for ease of reference)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (can you hear my soul being tormented)

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

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (maybe you will become a sword too?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And laughing about it? Yes, Shi can. She had this for three nights so little sympathy for Kel ;) )

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I like it when you are all stiff like this Kel

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Seriously she needs to get laid or somethi8ng

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (As I thought. A safe distance to eavesdrop)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] she's making this so awkward

[Kel (MarioCS)] Parts of Kel might, depending on how vixen-ish Jenn gets)

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

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (sounds like a volunteer)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (it will go much easier if you just give in and stop fighting it)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Or distract her. Er, your choice how)

[Kel (MarioCS)] Jenn, let's chat

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] warm smile

[Kel (MarioCS)] You seem to be sooo obsessed with pleasures of the flesh

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] with pleasure

[Kel (MarioCS)] have you ever been with an elf?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (so that is what we are calling it now "Chatting")

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

[Kel (MarioCS)] (lol)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (first the wolves now the fox)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] an elf?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] no

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Kel (MarioCS)] any reason why?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Elves are too fragile

[Kel (MarioCS)] were you warned that you would probably not enjoy it?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] it would be a pity to go through the preliminaries

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] and then be disappointed in the end

[Kel (MarioCS)] We elves take a looooooong time

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] if only

[Kel (MarioCS)] I would only get you mildly happy before our shift would be over

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] chuckles

[Kel (MarioCS)] we needs days alone

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I an never satisfied with a shift

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] nor a day

[Kel (MarioCS)] maybe when we get to a place where that could be

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you should ask Tristan what he thinks

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (He's never here :) )

[Kel (MarioCS)] OK, I’ll go find him

Kel (MarioCS) starts to get up

Miranda Paige (JohnA) (to MarioCS only)] you are gonna try and out do BOB?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] OH it will be very interesting to see how you react when we get home

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] have you ever been under ground?

[Kel (MarioCS) (to JohnA only)] could never happen

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] for days and days?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] can you hold your breath that long?

[Kel (MarioCS)] I have, once we were staking out a bullwug camp, and we were buried in our foxhole for days

[Kel (MarioCS)] not fun

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] warm chuckle

[Kel (MarioCS)] and turns out, it’s the wrong camp, go figure

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you have not seen real bullywugs

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (in the foxhole while napalm surrounded us....the war man...)

[Kel (MarioCS)] I think I have

[Kel (MarioCS)] (lol)

[Kel (MarioCS)] I seen some things, and some stuff

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] just wait till you come home

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] ask Indigo

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZviHb3nlpY

[Kel (MarioCS)] OK let me find him

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you know his capabilities

Kel (MarioCS) gets up to leave

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] and he was almost lost

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] oh do go run

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you are very good at that

[Kel (MarioCS)] its cuz I know you like to watch me leave

Kel (MarioCS) winks at Jenn, shakes tush

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you do have a nice ass

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lmao)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] but a man should be more than just an ass

[Kel (MarioCS)] imagine it out of these leathers

[Kel (MarioCS)] oh, in pretty mush an ass all over

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Oh I like the idea of you in leather

[Kel (MarioCS)] I mean...

[Kel (MarioCS)] in an ass most of the time

[Kel (MarioCS)] wait...

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] and yes

[Kel (MarioCS)] Grr

Aunt Jennevive (Master) laughs lightly

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (nice)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] that is very Kel

Kel (MarioCS) beads of sweat start to form

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] now let us see if we can induce you to be more of an ass?

Kel (MarioCS) confused "huh?"

[Kel (MarioCS)] in good at being an ass, I don’t need your assistance

Aunt Jennevive (Master) laughs lightly

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] You really do need to learn

[Kel (MarioCS)] anyway, in spoken for now. didn’t you know

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Sweet Sweet Shi

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] elven honey for dear Kel

[Kel (MarioCS)] hey, an ass has to have fun too

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Calls out. Aren't you Married Jennevive?

[Kel (MarioCS)] what?! wait a minute

[Kel (MarioCS)] ya, aren’t you married?

[Kel (MarioCS)] is he all ass too?

Aunt Jennevive (Master) quirks an eyebrow at Hugh and smiles at Kel

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] OH Red is more dangerous than an ass

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] He sadly plays with the wrong bodies

[Kel (MarioCS)] and he's Red? wow, lay off him a bit then...

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] '(Shi already told Kel about Red)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Lisa sorry, but my mother wants me to tell you hi

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

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (grins, that is good Michael)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Tell Barbie I said Hi!)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] so young Kel

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] do you have a plan for how you will make it through your sweet honey?

[Kel (MarioCS)] yes?

[Kel (MarioCS)] through my sweet honey? not sure I get you

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you know if you let it sit that it will melt away in the rain

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you need to devour it

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you need to savor it

[Kel (MarioCS)] oh, I do like honey, too

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Is she speaking in tongues or something>)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (See what I did there :) )

[Kel (MarioCS)] (lol)

[Kel (MarioCS)] but if I eat it all, no one else can have any

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H0BD2eWIww

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (hahahah)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I would think that is something you would like Kel

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I did not realize you like to share

[Kel (MarioCS)] ya, but in not selfish

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] that is good to know

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I know some who would be very interested to see how long an elf lasts

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (are you saying these thing on purpose?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] just cuz the rain will wash it away doesn’t mean I have to eat it all

[Kel (MarioCS)] oh? Who?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Wu

[Kel (MarioCS)] not Who, I hope...I mean Who would like to know

[Kel (MarioCS)] not Who, the guy, I mean, who?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] we shall see when we get home

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] it is good to know you are on board with sharing

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And there was your Wu finally John. Third time's a charm?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] the honey isn’t mine anyway, some poor hive worked real hard to produce it, I can’t be a glutton

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (thanks)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] OH I like gluttony

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Lust

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (At this point, Shi is long gone because pretty sure she doesn't want to overhear this)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Envy

[Kel (MarioCS)] Sloth?

[Kel (MarioCS)] Otter?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DohRa9lsx0Q

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] warm chuckle and drags a finger nail down Kel's chin

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] do you think I am slothful?

Kel (MarioCS) jumps back

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (don't know why I came here tonight)

[Kel (MarioCS)] I’ve seen sloths, you are bit more lively

[Kel (MarioCS)] but your nails are similar...

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha good song choice)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (maybe I should have bet on Kel)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (Coin slot? Tandem bicycle?)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Some would say my nails are more feline

[Kel (MarioCS)] can you climb trees?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (trying to make secne of it all)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I have been known to go out on a limb

[Kel (MarioCS)] careful SHi doesn’t add you to the menagerie

[Kel (MarioCS)] are you a mouser?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] grey is not my color

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (and that is a much more subtle see what I did there)

[Kel (MarioCS)] oh wow, look at the time, our shift is almost over. where did the time go?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (I only work in black, or really really dark grey)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] time flies when you are having fun

[Kel (MarioCS)] no Red seems to suit you better

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (You mean you don't want to do double shifts? ;) )

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] good to know you are interested

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I am looking forward to spending more time with sweet Shi

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

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] now that you have said what she is interested in

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Sounds familiar

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Batman, right?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] oh, I think she would like that

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (batman in Lego movie)

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

[Kel (MarioCS)] (ah, right!)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (nice)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (mine was Fafred and the grey mouser)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Careful or Shi might murder Kel in his sleep)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (did we even decide shift order?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyOb1KyZdbY)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (nope)

[Master] and now to Indigo and Shi

[Kel (MarioCS)] (didn’t get that one)

[Kel (MarioCS)] ill wake Shi

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) Shi, your turn

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Got the Batman one. Not the Fafred one :P)

[Master] you asked if she was a mouser and she said grey

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) listen, I may have had to lie a bit

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Nice Carissa)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (tks)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Oh? Birds attack you?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Nevermind. Thought you said lie down)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) I very indirectly mentioned to Jenn that we may, might, be a thing, but I don’t think she caught on.

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) feel free to use that, or deny it, wither way, I managed to distract her the whole shift, nonsense chatter

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) I...well, she already assumed it.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (She probably did, she just like to cause chaos)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) sighs

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) when in doubt, distract, and flee

[Master] for Shi

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyOb1KyZdbY

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) tanks, Shi!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Well at least I won't be surprised this time, but you only lied to her, right?

Ilero (TMO)] (Lying Is Wrong!!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Batman still?)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (I thought elves could not lie, oh wait that is Vulcans)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) um, yes. she was the only one up. Hugh did pipe up once, so he may have heard, but I don’t think even she put two and two together

[Master] (no https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBH8o8XXnVM )

[Master] sorry pasted wrong one

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ah much better!)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (love that one)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Well...that's okay, I guess. I just don't want any rumors or misunderstands or...anything.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Um, anyways, I shouldn't keep Indigo waiting.

Ilero (TMO)] (hey, if you two just snogged, it won't be either rumors or misunderstandings. :) )

Kel (MarioCS) dejected

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (but people have to know, maybe even watch)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) um, yeah, sure. we're not together, I know that...

mharm-15549 has left the game on Fri Jan 19 22:13:39 EST 2018

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) It's just...

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shakes head

mharm-15549 has joined the game on Fri Jan 19 22:14:11 EST 2018

mharm-15549 is receiving the map basic knarr...

mharm-15549 has received the map basic knarr.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) No that's a conversation for another time.

TMO oocly draws a circle around Kel and labels it as 'The Friendzone')

Kel (MarioCS) walks off " have a good shift. call me if you need me

[mharm-15549] sorry about that

Kel (MarioCS) whispers " like always"

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods and goes to meet Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hi Shi

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (laughing at TMO)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (with)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Hi Indigo. Happy to be back on the water so quickly?

[Kel (MarioCS)] (lol TMO)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Poor poor Kel. So many circles around him)

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's fine. I sort of just want to be home

[Indigo (Lisa)] It felt like we started home a long time ago and now look what all has happened

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Since we left Dryads Lair or since you left Drillian?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Since we left Dryads Lair

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh we'll just make a side trip to Cornelia she says

[Indigo (Lisa)] Now she's married

[Indigo (Lisa)] A vampire might come to kill everyone

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] That did seem unexpected.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Wait what?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] What vampire might kill everyone?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I thought you all knew

[Indigo (Lisa)] Branadarus mother is a vampire

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well yes I knew that, but what do you mean kill everyone?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Well vampires don't like people knowing about them

[Indigo (Lisa)] I met one that would only let me know

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (how many vampires have you met?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] She didn't say that the Queen was going to kill everyone for sure or anything

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It made sense later if she wanted us out of Cornelia, but to kill us?

[TMO] (more than we wanted to)

[Indigo (Lisa)] But she said we had to get to the Mist as fast as possible

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (always)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I did not realize...I mean, I thought it seemed a little rushed, but...

[Indigo (Lisa)] Figured it was because a vampire would be chasing us

[Indigo (Lisa)] (think Indigo only knows of 1)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] And The Mist would hide us well?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (he has seen 2)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Sure. Can't do divination in the Mist

[Indigo (Lisa)] But the Mist has its own vampires

[Indigo (Lisa)] But we never see them

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Oh good. Although she doesn't know we know. Aunt Jennevive showed us the letter only after we left.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] And I don't think I talked to the Queen at all...

[Indigo (Lisa)] Branwyn should go find the Brotherhood when we get home

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] More vampires?

[Indigo (Lisa)] No! It's a paladin order that hunts vampires

[Master] (grins, poor Shi when Indigo leaves her in the dust and confused)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not sure how good they are at it though

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

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) sigh of relief

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Better than nothing. Vampires are....well, I do not like them at all. They are unnatural. And evil. And dead.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Have you met any?

[mharm-15549] BRB

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] No, but I've heard stories.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Other than this Queen I guess

[Indigo (Lisa)] So you might like one if you met one

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] And I know the myths of my people. I know Fiona. Her story has always left me unsettled.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shakes her head

[Indigo (Lisa)] I didn't like the crusty one in the old temple. We ran away from him

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Vampires have no soul. How can one be liked?

[Indigo (Lisa)] But the other one I met was nice enough

[Indigo (Lisa)] They don't have souls?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Just the thought of a vampire...

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shudders

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hmmm

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well, I don't know if they have no soul or it just ties them here, but an elf who becomes a vampire can never reach Aravaith

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] And that's just...the are no words for how upsetting that thought is.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Must be a pretty nice place

[Master] (banshees are the ultimate Elven undead)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods enthusiastically

[JohnA] (NOT THE BANSHEES?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It is the goal of all Elves when they are ready.

[Indigo (Lisa)] How do you know you are ready?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] My...my brother almost lost his chance to reach Aravaith. That was more upsetting than his death.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shrugs

[TMO] (to become screaming banshees?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] You just know you are. Grandma Ruavain simply woke up one day, said she was ready, and left within a week.

[Indigo (Lisa)] How did that happen? With your brother I mean. You get chances, like tickets?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] She probably would have left that afternoon if my father didn't convince her to tie up loose ends...

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPOM0IUsd_0

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] His death was...violent. And his body had to be retrieved. It was hard. Many rituals and prayers to get him to Aravaith.

Indigo (Lisa) scratches his head

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] One who dies in such a way...their body and soul must be home before they can go to Aravaith.

[Indigo (Lisa)] So if a Gar jumped out of the river and ate you, we should catch the gar and cut you out and take you home to get to Aravaith?

[mharm-15549] lol

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Yes please. I might reach Aravaith, but my chances are better if my body returns home.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Otherwise you don't get to go just because some stupid fish ate you far from home?

[Indigo (Lisa)] That seems hard

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It is the manner of death more than anything.

[Indigo (Lisa)] So is that why elves don't travel far from home much?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If the body is descareated, it makes it difficult.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well, that is part of it, but many just don't see the point.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We have all we need at home, they say. Why travel? they ask. Why mingle with others? they question.

TMO oocly draws a mustache on Kel's dead body.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Sounds like my people

[Indigo (Lisa)] They think if they can raise chickens and drink ale with friends there is no reason to go anywhere else.

[Kel (MarioCS)] (lol)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) grins

[TMO] (btw - Bob, Jtom has expressed interest in playing again some time when we get to a good place to encounter his character. May just be for one night, he's hard to predict. ;) )

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It does sound similar.

[Master] (anytime you want TMO we can make it happen, a small boat spinning in the river..... etc.)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Um, may I ask you a question? I don't want to pry, but...

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Person falling from the sky after thrown off an airship...)

[Master] lol

[Indigo (Lisa)] Sure

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well I'm just...curious about your relationship with Penelope? She almost got you in trouble. Is that...normal?

Indigo (Lisa) blushes

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think we have a normal

[Indigo (Lisa)] She's not like other girls

[Indigo (Lisa)] But she didn't get me in trouble. She helped us all and asked for nothing back

[Indigo (Lisa)] Except to come with us

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But how did she find those chalices? Did she tell you?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I would just hate for you to get in trouble.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If she makes you happy, I guess that's good, though...

[JohnA] Sorry to run, even though it's not real, it has been real fun

[JohnA] TTFN

[TMO] (cya)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Well I think she's pretty good at that stuff

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

[Master] have fun john

[Indigo (Lisa)] (goodni8ght John!)

JohnA has left the game on Fri Jan 19 22:38:12 EST 2018

[Indigo (Lisa)] She was a member of the thieves’ guild in the city

Marisu (TMO)] It was definitely an odd turn of events surrounding the chalices.

[Indigo (Lisa)] She finds things and sees things that other people can't

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Did Marisu wake up?)

[Master] yes

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hello Marisu

Marisu (TMO)] (we had enough people I thought it was daytime)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Hmm, well we do know other thieves who are fine.

Marisu (TMO)] (are we still overnight watches?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe Penelope can join Ilero's Guild when we get home

[Master] yes to Overnight and yes to Marisu waking up early for her third watch

Marisu (TMO)] (ok, sorry)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha there you go)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Good morning, Marisu. Sorry we woke you.

[Master] and yes to Marisu hearing Ilero has a thieves’ guild

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Maybe the guild would be good for her.

[Marisu]] (TMO) yawns. "Good morning. I wasn't sleeping very well anyways, so I just got up."

Marisu (TMO)] What's this guild of ilero's?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes. Think so too. As long as it's a thieves’ guild and not a scouts’ guild. Don't think Penelope wants to be a scout

[Indigo (Lisa)] I thought he was going to. Maybe I don't know. Thought there were scrolls or something

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hopefully he won't have to live in a dungeon like Regor to do it though

[Indigo (Lisa)] That wouldn't be fun

Marisu (TMO)] I know he has the skills of a thief, but he seems rather adamant that he's a scout.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] IT doesn't sound fun.

Marisu (TMO)] Regor the Mad? I thought he was dead?

[Master] so much to explore in casual Indigo sentences

[Indigo (Lisa)] Don't think so

Indigo (Lisa) laughs "Might make Branwyn happy though"

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well anyways, I just wanted to make sure you were happy. After that incident, well, I worry she might try to take advantage of you. I don't want that.

[Indigo (Lisa)] But Shi, Penelope won't hurt us. You don't have to worry.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I'm not worried about her hurting us. I worry about her hurting you.

Indigo (Lisa) looks up at Shi happily "Thank you!"

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) smiles.

[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles. "I think Penelope has a strong survival instinct. Given Branwyn's reputation, not many would be willing to hurt those close to her."

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods, "I can believe that."

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But one can do far more damage emotionally than they can physically.

[Master] one last time

[Marisu]] (TMO) chuckles.

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDG2m5hN1vo

[Indigo (Lisa)] I think we've figured each other out a little better lately. She does what she does like what I do with my swords

Marisu (TMO)] I don't think that changes the scenario any.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I wouldn't want her to tell me to stop fighting.

[Indigo (Lisa)] And like I said, she could have kept the chalices herself or sold them and ran away

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (This song shall forever haunt me)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] True. And letting someone you care about do what they want is a good thing. Er, short of murder.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yeah, murder isn't good

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST86JM1RPl0

[Indigo (Lisa)] So who are you watching with Marisu?

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40F4sOfXpD8

[Marisu]] (TMO) sits on a crate and run a comb through her hair. "I'm not sure. Prince Ilero told me I was up for the third watch, but didn't tell me who the other one was."

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Someone is on a roll)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Kenna?)

[Master] (Kenna or Snee and then Hugh or Neith

[Master] I vote Kenna and Neith and Marisu

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I'll second that)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (sure)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sounds good to me!)

Marisu (TMO)] (sure)

[Master] and one last one for Indigo

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svWINSRhQU0

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha poor Indigo. Well Shi kind of tried)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (To warn him of it, at least)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but he's happy!)

[Master] and so

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aENX1Sf3fgQ

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Until he ends up in jail which will be soon at this rate ;) )

[Master] and Indigo being happy is a very good thing

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but I am sorry if the guild wasn't something that was talked about IC)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (had some memory of a salon conversation about it)

Marisu (TMO)] (I think it was briefly mentioned, yes)

[Master] it has been in the background so yes totally fair game

Marisu (TMO)] (but there've been many more important things going on)

Marisu (TMO)] (Ilero has talked about it to Branwyn once too - when they shared a watch. It was one of the things he's stressing over)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (feel better then)

Indigo (Lisa) heads down to the hold to get some sleep

[Master] The guild is one of the five story arcs in the next Era

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Five?)

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) yawns

[Master] grins

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Have a good watch, Marisu.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) goes to bed

[Master] Carissa, have you not learned I have plans?

Marisu (TMO)] Good morning, Kenna!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (You do?? This whole time?!)

[Master] LOL

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I am uncertain that it is good yet

Marisu (TMO)] Good night, Shi'Nynze.

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) prying her eyes open

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] how have you slept, Marisu?

Marisu (TMO)] Every day is just as good as you make it. Something I have to keep reminding myself of. I didn't sleep very well, so I got up a bit early.

[Master] (anniversary story arc, Branwyn returning her library book, one for Ilero's guild, a new take on an old fiction story, a mercenary one are planned for now, plus I want to do a sixth involving elves)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I am sorry that you did not sleep well. was there a noise?

[Kel (MarioCS)] Only if Jenn is heavily involved in that one

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

[Master] (grins, I am planning for 2019 and 2020 right now, I know I am crazy)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (You are. That's only what, 1-2 years in advance? You are slacking. Should be at least planning for 5 years in advance)

[Master] OH I have those plans too, grins,

[Marisu]] (TMO) wraps a shawl around her shoulders to stay warm. "My dreams aren't very nice lately. I try to ignore them as best I can."

[Master] imagine the 30th anniversary game with airship to airship combat as you fight to defend your kingdom in the clouds

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] lavender. can you bear the smell of lavender? I have some for under your pillow next time

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Shi will watch from below, but thanks!)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] it should help your senses calm and bring sweeter dreams. but some people cannot bear lavender

[Master] (I am slightly amused you believe Shi will be around in 5 years, )

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well seeing how Ilero and Branwyn are, it's possible :P)

Marisu (TMO)] I'll give it a try, but I suspect it's just my anxiety manifesting itself. I'll deal with it when the time comes.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (the group travels to aravaith?)

[Master] and I did tell someone at work how happy I was to see Spring's post on Facebook about June

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) nodding

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (hehehe)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (it's for real and everything)

[Master] I am planning for 15 for June

[Master] Mario

[Kel (MarioCS)] (hiding in the friend zone)

[Kel (MarioCS)] Yes??

[Master] 15

[Kel (MarioCS)] OK!

[Kel (MarioCS)] (what’s 15?)

[Master] I have 13 potential/probable

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (in person or total?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Awww hope she doesn't die. Unlike others, I'm not used to new characters...)

[Master] plus 3 to 6 more online

[Master] and yes to Carissa

[Master] Lisa and TMO have unusual ones

[Master] I think that I had Spring talk about the Winter Tapestry adventure?

Marisu (TMO)] (VERY unusual for me.)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (hmmm the scar on my finger from being eaten by a futon sofa bed is itching. I wonder if it's an anniversary. it's been about a decade or so)

[Master] where the group traveled to another plane?

[Master] Spring was the one to figure out that the tapestry they found

[Master] showed the party on the trip they were one

[Master] on

[Master] and that each scene showed a character dying

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I don't remember much about it now except my character's hideous death and afterlife)

[Master] and somehow in the adventure

[Master] each character died in the same order

[Master] fighter

[Master] thief

[Master] fighter

[Master] mage

[Master] priest

[Master] was a great story

[Kel (MarioCS)] sure, for a sadist

[Master] LOL

[Master] Spring?

[Master] did you like it?

[mharm-15549] LOL

[Spring] well except for dying, yes :-)

[Spring] but it was great to keep going after dying

[Master] grins

Marisu (TMO)] (dying's not so hard. it's what comes after...)

[Spring] and it was funny that my character who suffered a delusion about being a ghost became one for real

[Spring] and there were some really complicated challenges to figure out

[Master] and for the fiction one, we did My Shoes!!!! based on wizard of Oz

[Master] and Elementary based on the Six Napoleons

[Master] in the past

[Master] so I have another that will be interesting

[Master] John did My Shoes

[Master] Lisa did Elementary

Marisu (TMO)] (when will we be doing Ten Little Indians?)

[Master] LOL

[Kel (MarioCS)] lol

Marisu (TMO)] (2 people who know what I'm referring to. ;) )

[Master] and when Indigo is ready to heave the anchor and start down the river

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I know I was just coming back to desk and didn't want to laugh last)

Marisu (TMO)] (ol)

[Master] hah

[Indigo (Lisa)] (it can't be morning already!)

Marisu (TMO)] (it was a very short discussion)

[Master] Spring and Michael seem conversationed out

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I have feeling pretty soon we won't have such comfortable watches anyway)

[mharm-15549] Sorry, a little tired

[mharm-15549] I can talk though

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Sad but true)

Marisu (TMO)] (then we should stay here, and have comfortable watches forever)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Although not sure Kel's classifies as comfortable)

[Master] lol

Marisu (TMO)] (never return!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (LOL)

[Spring] I am having a hard time staying awake

Marisu (TMO)] (I'm just not interesting enough)

[mharm-15549] :P

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sitting by the cliffs eating fish and letting the birds poop all over the ship)

Marisu (TMO)] (Paradise!)

[Spring] I’ve actually been drowsy for the last three hours

[Spring] but I’m doing me best

[mharm-15549] argh matey

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-3e0EkvIEM)

[Spring] :-)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (think it is more that Marisu's issues are so horrific it is hard to discuss easily)

Marisu (TMO)] (ol)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And she probably still hasn't processed it)

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcGU8OUXCDE

[Indigo (Lisa)] (your l's seem to stutter)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Until she gets home)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we get every other one)

Marisu (TMO)] (keyboard still a mess. I haven't dug out another one yet

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (One of the best of all Disney songs)

Marisu (TMO)] (Roger Miller is fun in general)

[Master] and why women like foxes

[Master] and so moving along

[Master] sailing south

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

[Master] so encounter check

[mharm-15549] no it

Marisu (TMO)] (1d20) [1d20=8] 8

Marisu (TMO)] (since I need to step out to put kids to bed anyways. brb)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (If he asks you to roll again, it's a trap)

[mharm-15549] lol

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] and I will say to move along and roll again

[Kel (MarioCS)] Is Jilly making breakfast? Hey Jilly!

[Kel (MarioCS)] (evil laugh)

[Jilly (Master)] Yes Kel?

[Jilly (Master)] did you get more fish?

[Kel (MarioCS)] I’m a bit hungry. Got any twigs ready?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Roll again? Not it)

[Jilly (Master)] I thought you wanted fish

[Kel (MarioCS)] or are they still cooking?

[Kel (MarioCS)] a fish on a twig would be delightful

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Cooked twigs?

[Kel (MarioCS)] like a popsicle

[Spring] Roll #1: (d20) [1d20=8] 8

[Jilly (Master)] popsicles would be ice

[Jilly (Master)] I have not seen anyone like frozen fish

[Kel (MarioCS)] (wow, they know popsicle??!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Some did float by earlier.

[Jilly (Master)] elves are strange

[Jilly (Master)] ice is crunchy like little rocks

[Jilly (Master)] OH

[Jilly (Master)] you saw Qui and now you want rocks

[Indigo (Lisa)] I think he wants a fish kebab

[Jilly (Master)] I see

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I personally prefer cooked fish...

[mharm-15549] Me Too

[Jilly (Master)] so elves like frozen fish

[mharm-15549] :)

[Jilly (Master)] I can do that

[mharm-15549] No Sushi

[Jilly (Master)] well maybe not all the time

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] No no. Not elves. Kel.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] You can't just lump us all together.

[Jilly (Master)] all dwarves like rocks

[Jilly (Master)] and all elves like twigs

[Jilly (Master)] and nuts

[Kel (MarioCS)] Don’t let Shi fool you, she asks me for my twigs when you run off

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Nuts, yes. Twigs, no. I don't eat twigs. Nor do most elves I know.

[Jilly (Master)] see

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] You believe Kel over me?

[Kel (MarioCS)] Naturally

[Jilly (Master)] I think that people eat what I give them

Jilly (Master) turns and goes back to the galley

[Kel (MarioCS)] true true, I’ll eat whatever you bring out

Kel (MarioCS) evil smile at Shi

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) You just didn't want to hurt her feelings, did you? Now she'll always serve twigs.

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) enjoy your sticks!)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) glares

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) I'll have to start hoarding berries now.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Or growing my own food.

[Master] third encounter roll please

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

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (1d20) [1d20=16] 16

[Master] as you move outside of Terraguardian waters

[Master] and there you go

[Master] we will say you are 44 miles along your path

[Master] only 156 more to go to Bywater

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

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (rRogress is progress?)

[Master] but from now on you are in open waters, some Terraguardian navy ships might be around, but in the past as Indigo will tell you they were forceful in recruiting for crews

[Spring] recruiting = pressing

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Burn them! Sure that'll work well)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Do we have the ambassador's flag?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Or tell them we know 96 orcs who'd be happy to be recruited)

[Master] no you are not an ambassador anymore

[Kel (MarioCS)] but they don’t know that!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] They don't know that

[Kel (MarioCS)] LOL

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Nice Mario beat me too it

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

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

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (yes)

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

[Master] so as you move along

[Master] Time of Day: 07:52 AM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Bel {Mid Fall} 7th, 1267 TGR.

[Master] and so watches slash who rolls encounters

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I may have to pick this up next week to be brutally honest bob

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

[Master] so to be clear for those who have not sailed this way

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Not sure I can handle combat right now

[Master] on the right is the Gold Hills

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] on the left is the Land of Steam

[Spring] I know that I cannot

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Land of Steam?)

[Master] where there is a wasteland of geysers, steaming swamps

[Master] red dragons

[Spring] awesome

[Spring] gnite everybody!!!

[Master] LOL

[Kel (MarioCS)] lol

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (We already have a dragon head. Pass)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (don't remember seeing that on the way over)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Night Spring! lol)

Marisu (TMO)] (we can make matching suits of dragon armor)

Spring has left the game on Fri Jan 19 23:34:15 EST 2018

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

[Kel (MarioCS)] wow! she wasn’t kidding!

[Master] for the most part it is a wasteland

Marisu (TMO)] (Ilero's plan is to make a full suit of dragonscale leather armor, if that's possible, btw.)

[Master] that no one inhabits

[Kel (MarioCS)] Lets claim it in the name of JIllytopia

[Master] the tail end of the fertile crescent of Terragaurd

[Kel (MarioCS)] You have to run as fast as she speaks, to avoid getting scalded

[Master] that extends from Terrabrink to Dryads Lair

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Kel (MarioCS)] you can try to plug the holes w stones and twigs

[Master] it is the beginning of the wilderness from Terraguards point of view

[Master] about 80 to 90 miles of wilderness on your port side

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we'll just sail to the right and hope to avoid pirates thank you)

[Master] smile

[Master] three more days of encounter rolls

[Master] 9 rolls per day

[Master] who wants to start?

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

[Lisa] Roll #1: (d20) [1d20=12] 12

[Master] next

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Nope. My luck has been crap all day. Pass)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (1d20) [1d20=12] 12

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

[Master] next

Marisu (TMO)] (1d20) [1d20=8] 8

[Master] there we go

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

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

[Kel (MarioCS)] (wow 8's and 12's very popular tonight)

[Lisa] next week on ship encounters ...

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I agree

[Lisa] unless it's the rainbows and ponies encounter

[Kel (MarioCS)] cotton candy everywhere!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Horseshoes and red balloons!)

[Master] hmmm

[Master] d10 and d8 please

[Kel (MarioCS)] an Nutella... must have Nutella

[Lisa] lol

Marisu (TMO)] oodelally, golly what a day

[Lisa] Roll #1: (d10) [1d10=9] 9

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (What's that? Sleep calls to me?)

[Lisa] Roll #1: (d8) [1d8=1] 1

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (1) 1

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

[Kel (MarioCS)] 9 ponies under 1 rainbow

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I'm okay with that)

[Master] at least it is not pirates

[Kel (MarioCS)] at least...

[Master] a winter storm

[Master] sweeping across the lake

[Master] northward

[Master] Indigo?

[Master] and anyone

[Indigo (Lisa)] BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES!

[Master] any checks you think you have that can help survive the storm?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (FIRE. Move south! Escape the cold!))

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

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] One sec

[TMO] [Marisu]]: Etiquette check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (.....only possible one)

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

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

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

[TMO] LOL

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: Boating check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] seriously one moment

[TMO] [Shurkural]]: Fire-building check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!

[TMO] if Indigo thinks we need one)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (She has spell to make fire you can carry to keep warm and I think doesn't cause things to burn)

[Kel (MarioCS)] Kel: Escape check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Pull the sails in!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oooh and resistant to gusts of wind!)

Kel (MarioCS) heaves sails before Penelope calls me a HO

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) rushes to help

[TMO] sorry, Etiquette is the best I've got

[Indigo (Lisa)] (spells?)

[TMO] I can put us in a sound bubble so that our chattering teeth can't be heard.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum: Whistling/humming check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Looking, but not sure I have anything of use)

Howard Plum (Lisa) too nervous to even hum Howard grips the railing of the knarr

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Neith of Inholt casts a spell against : Uncontrolled Weather: I conjure forth random weather.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] no

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] don't do that

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

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Neith of Inholt casts a spell against : Endure Cold/Endure Heat: For (9*5) 45 turns, I'm immune to natural extremes of heat or cold. Though magical extremes cause this spell to fail.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] there we go

[Ilero]] (TMO) rushes around gathering all the loose gear on deck and tossing it down into the hold so nothing washes overboard.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Neith is comfortably rushing about helping...

Indigo (Lisa) unties Kel

[Master] so originally you had a 50 50 chance of not capsizing

[Shurkural]] (TMO) adds her muscle to line pulling and tying

[Master] I will adjust that to 75 25 in your favor

[Kel (MarioCS)] (Kel was already heaving sails! but THANKS!)

[Master] who wants to roll that percentage?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Best I can think is water breathing for the non-swimmers)

Shurkural (TMO)] captain?

[Master] you want higher than a 25

[Indigo (Lisa)] (because we pulled the sails in?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] who want s to take that chance...?

[Master] and weather and adjusting cargo

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Or maybe watery fist to help steady the boat?)

[Master] or things that adjust rolls?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (oh someone has to do it)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Nope don't have those spells)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] one sec

[Indigo (Lisa)] (bless me father so I don’t roll the boat over)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Serious. Bad bad luck today)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (Carissa, didn’t the spell we used to shoo the birdmen counteract winds?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I have a spell to help with this roll

Shurkural (TMO)] I'm trying to find Marisu's inspire ability to help Admiral Indigo

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yes but don't think it's helpful here)

[Master] Aunt Jennevive casts a spell against : Focus: Using the prayers of a bunch of faithful I maintain a spell for up to a year.

[Kel (MarioCS)] (k)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Bless or chant of help?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=43] 43

[Indigo (Lisa)] (why can't Branwyn do that?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] well look at indigo jumping the gun

[Master] yes to Carissa but Lisa managed to avoid needing it

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

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I was about to cast...

[Master] grins

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Wasn't sure if either applied to percentage rolls. Good to know later)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (no one was saying anything - couldn't help myself)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Good job, Lisa!)

[Master] bless is +5%

[Master] and so Indigo steers the ship through the storm

[Master] you end up battered and bruised but you survive

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ah just thought it was saving throws. Cool!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] WHEW!

Shurkural (TMO)] it's combat only, oh well

[Master] with no significant damage

[Master] but you are blown off course

[Indigo (Lisa)] That could have been close!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] That was slightly unpleasant.

[Master] it will have to wait till night and someone with navigation to figure out where you are

Indigo (Lisa) calls out "Everyone all right?"

Shurkural (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Direction Sense check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

Shurkural (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Orienteering check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Master] Time of Day: 04:27 PM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Bel {Mid Fall} 7th, 1267 TGR.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] We're Here!

Shurkural (TMO)] (not quite Navigation, but might help a little)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Holding Neith and Mercy

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Just fine. Are you okay? And the ship?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Neith can tell north

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

[Indigo (Lisa)] Everything seems all right.

[Indigo (Lisa)] We can let loose the sails again in the morning when we know where we are and that the storm has really passed

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Aye aye, Admiral.

Indigo (Lisa) smiles

Ilero (TMO)] Hye hate boats.

Ilero (TMO)] Floaty woody houses also very sinkable.

[Kel (MarioCS)] Wow, that was close

[Master] and so

[Master] when evening comes

[Master] Indigo spots land to the starboard side through his spy class

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Indigo dual classes to spy?)

[Lisa] lol

[Master] and sees the southern edges of the Understowers portion of Gold Hills

[Master] and understands that you were blow westnorthwest

[Master] and not back up the river

[Master] you have lost almost a days’ worth of travel but nothing more

Ilero (TMO)] (good)

[Lisa] and off Gold Hills is not the worst place to anchor for the night

[Lisa] we could have gotten blown into red dragon land

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (True)

[Lisa] fireballs for everyone

[Master] In the northern area of Undertowers Indigo did a barn raising

[Master] last year

[Master] when he was traveling with Wu Sen

[Lisa] see Wu's travel log

Ilero (TMO)] (an undead barn?)

[Master] lol

[Lisa] my turn to be done for

[Master] need one more roll before nightfall please

[Lisa] have a great week all!

Ilero (TMO)] (1d20) [1d20=19] 19

[Master] there you go

[Lisa] okay

[Carissa] (Night Lisa!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Yeah, I think I’m good for tonight too guys :)

[Lisa] Goodnight!

[Master] an then you can decide to camp on the shore of Gold Hills

[Master] or on the river

Ilero (TMO)] g'nite!

[Master] night all

Lisa has left the game on Sat Jan 20 00:00:26 EST 2018

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I love you all but this late

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Night all!

[Carissa] Um, the hills are golden and alive with music so there?

mharm-15549 has left the game on Sat Jan 20 00:00:45 EST 2018

[Master] Mario?

[Master] grins at Carissa

[Kel (MarioCS)] nite all!

MarioCS has left the game on Sat Jan 20 00:01:09 EST 2018

[Master] so I am counting John, Lisa, Carissa, TMO, Spring Michael, and Mario

[Master] as givens

[Master] plus Marco Mike and Robert

[Carissa] Yep. Started looking at tickets and making plans

[Master] that gives us 10

[Master] very glad Carissa

Ilero (TMO)] I need to look.

[Carissa] BUT that said, have to wait on buying tickets since it looks like I won't be working for who knows how long

[TMO] yah, money is always a problem

[TMO] :)

[Master] I really hope that this group makes it

[Carissa] Ha! So is Congress. Furloughed officially.

[Master] I have two bedrooms, TMO and Spring

[Master] have the two

[Master] and Mario will take one or two plus can help with hotels

[Carissa] Need to beat the crowd. Didn't realize it was so close to Memorial Day weekend.

[Master] so it is transportation more than anything

[TMO] I appreciate that. hopefully I can find a cheap enough plane ticket.

[TMO] I'm not sure what they run yet.

[Carissa] Fly out of Lubbock or go all the way to DFW?

[TMO] Lubbock if I can

[Master] I would say there is a couch for you Carissa

[Master] no matter what

[Carissa] Thanks. I have lots of hotel points so not too worried, but good to know :)

[Master] but there is the Hampton inn just a mile away

[Master] and lots of cars to borrow

[Carissa] Awesome

[Master] my current guestimate is 10 to 13 at the house

[Master] plus 3 or 6 on line

[Carissa] Sounds crowded already :P

[Master] grins

[Master] that is why I updated the tenth anniversary page

[Master] to show how many we can work with

[Master] it will be fun

[Carissa] Hmm, missed that.

[Master] and on Roll Call put in new icons for the people who attended

[Carissa] Well now I have to go so I can get an icon by my name

[Master] and I do seriously have 4 to 6 story arcs planned after you finish with this Era

[TMO] it's good to have priorities. ;)

[Master] then the next Era is a huge dwarven one, if all goes along as expected

[Carissa] Agreed ;)

[Carissa] Looking forward to it! I think.

[Master] it will be fun

[Carissa] Although after hearing that tapestry story....

[Master] they had a blast

[Carissa] If it ends up like that, I ask for a second, killable character :P

[Master] they freaked out

[Master] but they had fun

[Master] ask Spring about it

[Carissa] Yeah was a little confused. Will have to get more details from her

[Master] then again that was like 15 years ago

[Master] and yes that does sound like a crazy statement right there

[Master] what were you doing 15 years ago?

[Master] and think that was more than ten years into this campaign

[Carissa] And you thought TMO was having problems accepting how much time has passed :)

[Master] grins

[Master] I try to plan story arcs that will happen no matter what characters survive

[Carissa] That's a good plan. Never know what can happen.

[Master] if Lisa or TMO or John has a character alive

[Master] the mercenary story arc will work

[Master] if Branwyn is still alive the library book one works

[TMO] IF?

[Master] the literary one works no matter what

[Master] grins

[Carissa] Yeah...I was about to say, IF is not a nice word. Makes me uncomfortable.

[Master] good

[Master] grins

[Master] like it when you are on edge

[Carissa] Yeah but you gave me a character I really, really like. So not good.

[Master] good reason to live life to the fullest

[Carissa] Should have taken Tore. I would have been okay if he died.

[Carissa] No no no. She needs to explore then return home like a good little elf.

[TMO] well, I do have 2 in a danger zone, and the third is close due to relationships with one of the others.

[TMO] it is actually possible all 3 could die.

[Carissa] True. Rate it's going, only Shur has chance of survival. Maybe.

[Master] chuckles you have not even set foot in Drillian yet, with who knows who is a traitor

[Carissa] But she might try to stop Ilero from being stupid and die from that so...

[Carissa] Lovely.

[Master] this will be fun

[Carissa] I did mean to point out I say one of your thoughts in 2008 about how you wanted to do some big, political run.

[Carissa] I think you fulfilled that wish.

[Master] this is true

[Carissa] :P

[TMO] I don't know that we did it as much justice as we could have

[Master] is why I pushed the Dragonslayer Thoughts back towards the front

[Master] oh we could still be playing month number 6

[Master] but I tried to go with what the players wanted

[Master] there is a lot still to explore

[Master] as John said years ago, this is a new boxed set

[Master] and you have only gotten through the first third

[Carissa] Ah! Found it:

[Carissa] "I would love to run complicated political adventures, mysteries that take place all in one room of debate between complicated characters. That would be fun for 2 or 3 players, but when the group exceeds that number it becomes too hard to get everyone a chance in the spotlight for that type of story arc."

[Master] maybe in 2022 you will go visit Maztica or other exotic places

[Carissa] Haha see? That's planning as expected.

[Carissa] 6 years in advance.

[Master] smiles bows

[Master] thank you

[Master] I know so many other DMs who just are not sure what to do in three weeks let along three years

[TMO] I’ve managed to come up with a fairly loose plan for my game, but I still haven't even gotten all the PCs together yet. ;) Very slow campaign.

[Master] that works well TMO

[Carissa] Better than no plan :)

[Master] my birthday game idea came from a Memorial Day game

[Master] that happened in a game I was playing in in New Jersey

[TMO] I have a slight excuse in that I had absolutely no plot at the start. Everything is built from the characters the players built and the villains they gave me.

[Carissa] Ohh but that seems more fun. And gives them more motivation, I'd think.

[Master] which helps because then the players care and want to work with that

[Carissa] And the ideas from something random to plan for something later makes sense. Half my writing seems to work like that.

[TMO] that's my hope! but I'm still very new at this GM thing, so it'll probably fall apart at some point anyways. But will be a good learning experience.

[Master] and I want to use Carissa and Mario's work on their homeland, but it might take a bit to realize how it is working into the stories

[Carissa] It's good to be flexible for sake of the players.

[Carissa] Gotta start somewhere, right? :)

[Master] exactly

[Master] are you still in the library game Carissa?

[TMO] yup. been playing this game since I was 10. Haven't really run all that many.

[Carissa] Tomorrow is sadly the last session then my rogue is out of work.

[Master] never out of work

[Carissa] Unless this DM wants to do more games later. Good way to meet people.

[Master] nods

[Carissa] As I said, if the queen needs an assassin, I know an awesome one... ;)

[Master] and we are looking for player number 51 if you know anyone

[Carissa] At you have experience, TMO! Seems like it'd be hard to jump right in as DM without it. I know some who've tried that.

[TMO] wifey has thought about it, but just has too many irons in the fire as it is

[Carissa] Haha I bet one of the people I'm playing with would be interested if you want me to ask.

[Master] feel free Carissa

[Carissa] Seems to be a good group

[Carissa] At the least, I think the DM might be curious to see how this game is run.

[Master] herding cats

[Carissa] Easy if you get a laser pointer :)

[Master] ok Night all

[Master] have a great weekend

[TMO] g'nite!

[Carissa] Night! Thanks for the game!

[Carissa] Needed a good end to the day :P

Carissa has left the game on Sat Jan 20 00:23:02 EST 2018

TMO has left the game on Sat Jan 20 00:23:08 EST 2018
