Lisa has received the map Arboretum.

[Master] good evening

[Master] was very weird today

[Master] was listenign to Wiat Wait don't tell me

[Master] the news podcast

[Master] each episode they do a set of fake stories and you have to pick the real one

[Lisa] Hello

[Master] today they did one from here in Coral Springs

[Master] was like Hey!

[Lisa] that must be hard some weeks considering the ridiculous news stories we are subjected to daily

[Lisa] was it real or fake?

[Master] it is really funny sometiems

[Master] luckily the item about the cats stealing pictures of their owners and keeping them to look at (here in coral springs) was the fake one

[Lisa] that is an easy one

[Lisa] cats only care about their owners when they feed them

[Master] the real story is that the cat owned by the prime minister in England has been investigated as a spy

[Lisa] lol

[Master] because it started hanging out at a bar owned by a chinese person across the street from his house

[Master] yeah which is the stranger story?

[Lisa] how was he supposedly bringing back his intel?

[Master] apparently that is what MI 5 (is that their agency?) was investigating

[Lisa] I guess if the cat used all 100 sounds he allegedly can make then he could set up a code

[Master] lol

[Lisa] he was a chinese spy cat planted in the prime minister's house or a Broitish spy cat sent to hang out in Chinese bars?

[Lisa] this is a really silly story

[Master] but the real one

[Lisa] whose spy cat was he?

[Master] the third one was about Nasa training cats to go into space to deal with mice that are loose in teh space station

[Lisa] also ridiculous

[Master] they thought it was China using the priminister's cat to spy, they had turned it into an agent of some sort some how

[Master] just crazy stuff

[Master] apparently the fact the cat had a microchip to track it made people nervous

[Master] even though the chip was there when they got the cat years ago

[Lisa] my cat would make a lousy secret agent. He won't even kill a bug for me much less pay attention when I ask him to.

[Master] of course if he IS a spy he would not want to crush bugs

[Master] he would be planting them

[Lisa] if he was letting bugs in he would be in big trouble

[Master] I told him - Lisa was very very appreciative , [19:23] MARCO TACCA: well, what can I say? illusionists are the best :) [19:24] BOB: chuckles, she did say if you were not in they were not taking on the entire canibal army [19:24] BOB: that they needed you for that [19:25] MARCO TACCA: I DO save lives

Eric has joined the game on Fri Jun 21 19:26:01 EDT 2013

Eric is receiving the map Arboretum...

[Master] and oooooo I like that idea Lisa

[Master] hmmm socks or a tie

[Master] I wonder if I can do that on CafePress

Eric has received the map Arboretum.

[Lisa] I don't wear ties

[Lisa] Hi Eric

[Master] Hello Eric

[Guy] hey now this week you have the ultimate tank in the game

[Eric] hi everyone

[Guy] howdy Eric

[Lisa] Yes but when there are potentially 80 cannibals of the strength that we fought last week, a little Esmerelda scare the hell out of them would have been nice

[Eric] Hey Guy!

[Master] and yes to Eric

[Guy] heck all i need is armor cast onme and my AC drops to -7

[Master] no

[Eric] Why does it say Description (RING) by my caracter?

[Eric] character

[Guy] no what bob?

[Eric] Cool my spell total didnt reset this time

[Master] becasue I put a rin around you to show how far you could see in the snow storm

[Eric] AH got it

[Master] and Lisa had some info for you Eric on the questions you had

[Master] and Guy I think the effect was wrong on the Armor spell

[Lisa] I did?

[Eric] lol i had a few

[Guy] oh i dont know i liked the effect lol

[Master] have to check on dogs

[Master] brb

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Eric] one was how do you sort the spells to show them by level in the dice panel. Right now they are sorted by spell sphere which is a pain when trying to find spells I can cast

[Eric] I can sort in my character sheet but not the dice panel

[Eric] is ther ea way to do that?

[Lisa] That is a priest thing - I don't know anything about priests

[Lisa] my spells are listed in alpha order in my dice panel

[Eric] lol ok. Can you sort spells by level in the dice panel?

[Eric] Ah ok

[Eric] Tristan Elaire no longer targets Shurkural.

[Eric] Tristan Elaire no longer targets Branwyn.

[Eric (to GM only)] Character sheet for Tristan Elaire modified:

[Eric] Well by alphabetical will work too. Just wondering.

[Lisa] didn't see anything in preferences

[Lisa] ask John when/if he comes in

[Lisa] he knows both priests and klooge better than me

[Eric] Ok no problem. I just like sorting by the spells i can cast since i have every spell i can eventually cast in my dice panel list so theres a number to sort through

[Eric] will do!

[Lisa] John's priest spells are ordered by level in his dice panel so he must know

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] and the away from keyboard question

[Eric] awesome!!

[Lisa] ohh - I wonder if it coincides with how it is ordered on your character sheet

[Master] for spells you sort by level on the character sheet (or alpha, etc ) then when you bring up the dice panel it should match

[Master] LOL

[Master] see Lisa does know

[Eric] nope cuz iit doesnt'

[Lisa] only by accident and thinking too much

[Eric] unless i didn't do it right

[Lisa] yours are not sorted on your sheet

[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Tristan Elaire modified:

[Eric] really? They are when I open it.

[Lisa] cuz I just sorted them

[Eric (to GM only)] Character sheet for Tristan Elaire modified:

[Lisa] how's that?

[Eric] I have to sort them each time i open the sheet

[Lisa] you shouldn't have to

[Master] when you sort

[Lisa] closed your sheet

[Master] make sure you hit committ

[Master] Devin will not be in

[Lisa] hmmm - reopened and not sorted

[Master] Christina will be eventually

[Eric (to GM only)] Character sheet for Tristan Elaire modified:

[Lisa] but you are editing right now

[Eric] Just tried it and didn't work... Ya i hit commit. NOt the end of the world if i can sort alphabetically now

[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Tristan Elaire modified:

[Lisa] Bob - that is weird

[Master] I will check it now

[Lisa] just did the same thing for me - it is not saving

[Master] make sure you hit comitt please Lisa and Eric

[Lisa] always

[Guy] so glad i dont have to worry about spells

[Eric] lol thats the best part of DnD!

[Lisa] as non-committal as i usually am, it is not the case in regards to character sheets

[Guy] except for the web spell from the cloak

[Eric] Today was the first game I didn't have to reset my current spells per level remaining.

[Lisa] I wonder if there is something in your preferences that is making your changes not save

[Eric] I'm pretty sure my computer is haunted so its not a huge issue.

[Master] go check now Eric

[Master] and smiles at Lisa

[Eric] You got it

[Eric] thanks Bob. What did you change?

[Lisa] what did you do?

[Master] edit sheet

[Master] go to spells

[Master] click on one of the spells

[Master] not sure if that matters

[Master] click on header to sort

[Eric] guess it did!

[Master] then over on the drop down menu to the right side

[Master] there is a committ option on that menu

[Eric] Thanks that's so much easier when looking at spells

[Master] THEN hit comitt for the sheet

[Lisa] you really have to be committed

[Master] 20 years and counting

[Lisa] that's why it works for you :)

[Eric (to GM only)] Character sheet for Tristan Elaire modified:

[Master] dead in the street

[TMO] so long as they stay that way. Had enough undead for a while last adventure.

[TMO] yes, I know there was only one. That was enough. :P

[Mathinder (Master)] A human male in his mid-fifties descends the stairs and walks over to your group with a calm and relaxed demeanor. He seems to share none of the anxious tension fairly radiating from every other person you’ve met in this city. “Hello,” he says with a smile, crowsfeet crinkling the corners of his eyes. “I understand you wish to speak with me. What can I do for you?”

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 71'11".

[Lisa] (guy?)

[Ilero (TMO)] (all I know is it's not my turn to speak)

[Guy] oh we ready ? lol

[Eric] I am back at the keyboard.

[Guy] I am back at the keyboard.

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] Are ye Mathinder?

[Mathinder (Master)] warm chuckle yes I am

[Mathinder (Master)] and who might you be?

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] we are a detached unit of The Dragonslayers Mercenary Company

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] we have been hired tae get ye out of here

[Mathinder (Master)] oh?

[Mathinder (Master)] why would I want to leave

Lord Elssur (Master) rolls my eyes

Branwyn (Lisa) mutters under her breath "Why would you want to stay?"

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] oh I dont know possibly the Hungering Legion outside the city

[Mathinder (Master)] I have my craft, I have the Oracle, why would I want to leave?

Tristan Elaire (Eric) smirks at Branwyn's comment

[Mathinder (Master)] perhaps they will continue along and leave us alone

Lord Elssur (Master) shakes his head and walks farther away

[Ilero (TMO)] (huh. Apparently Rogues are stoopid. ;) They are the only class that gets a new NWP every 4 levels instead of every 3.)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Who or what is this Oracle you speak of

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] Im afraid our instructions were tae get ye and bring ye back there was nothing baout whether ye were willing or nae

[Mathinder (Master)] well I cannot just leave

[Mathinder (Master)] I would have to speak with the Oracle first

[Mathinder (Master)] it would not be right

[Mathinder (Master)] who sent you by the way?

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] I dont know who hired us I just know the instructions were not well liked

[Mathinder (Master)] (Cornell Floyfisk)

[Mathinder (Master)] (the old dragon himself, Cornell Floyfisk head of the Dragonslayer Company)

[Ilero (TMO)] (a man hated by his parents from birth)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ((thats who hired us or who gavce us instructions?

[Mathinder (Master)] (he is the head of the Dragonslayer Company no one told you who actually hired him for this)

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but they must be rich if our cut is 1000 gp - cornell must also be getting at least that much himself)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ((i said we didnt know who hired us not hing was mentiond about who told us :P ))

[Mathinder (Master)] (he would sign off on a contract, hand it to someone to execute, Snowfoot is the person who came to you and told you from him)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but he would be taking a piece for himself - he can't be doing this for nothing)

[Mathinder (Master)] (very true Lisa)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (unless Mathhinder has something more then money to offer)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we are working for a syndicate are we not?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (also true eric)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (anyway...)

[Mathinder (Master)] who sent you by the way?

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] Cornell Floyfisk head of the Dragonslayers

Mathinder (Master) looks at you closely, The Old Dragon?

[Mathinder (Master)] He wants it that badly?

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] Aye

[Mathinder (Master)] sent you all the way out here?

Mathinder (Master) chuckles with a deep laugh

Mathinder (Master) shakes his head smiling

[Mathinder (Master)] 'very well

[Mathinder (Master)] turns and gives you a wave of a hand over his shoulder

[Mathinder (Master)] come with me

Barnabas Stone (Guy) looks at Mathinder "Whats so funny?"

[Mathinder (Master)] we will go upstairs to my workshop

Barnabas Stone (Guy) whispers to Branwyn "Im liking this less and less"

[Master] you follow him up the stairs to a hallway and down to a large double door infront of a large set of windows

Tristan Elaire (Eric) whispers to Bran "can this guy be trusted? This could be an ambush"

[Master] he throws open the doors

[Master] and walks inside

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at both of them "it's looking good to me"

Branwyn (Lisa) follows Mathinder

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (save versus?)

Tristan Elaire (Eric) follows as well keeping an open eye for anything that looks like an ambush

[Master] peering around the corner into the room you see several large workbenches all filled with tools, carvings, puppets, and crafts. There are four gnomes sitting on stools working on various projects. Mathinder is off behind one of the tables looking in a large cabinet

[Master] He straightens out and turns to you holding up an elaborate carved dragon

[Mathinder (Master)] This is what he sent you for?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It's beautiful

[Mathinder (Master)] I told him it does not work right yet

Mathinder (Master) sets it on the counter top and pushes, the wings flap and the jaws open, then it topples over

Mathinder (Master) shakes his head,

[Mathinder (Master)] I need time to get them both to work together

Indigo (Lisa) looks and claps his hands

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] quite a fine toy

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] what does that toy have tae do with us being sent fer ye?

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's a toy! Make it do that again please.

[Mathinder (Master)] I am guessing that it is what you were sent for?

Mathinder (Master) smiles at Indigo

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I hope not...

Mathinder (Master) picks up the model, closes the jaws, folds the wings back and then pushes it again down the table

[Mathinder (Master)] again the wings open it wobbles and when the jaws open it tips forward head first

Mathinder (Master) mutters, it needs more weight in the tail I think

Indigo (Lisa) claps again "it's so close. Is it supposed to fly too?"

Mathinder (Master) OH

[Mathinder (Master)] looks at Indigo

[Mathinder (Master)] flying would be a wonderful thing

[Mathinder (Master)] but I do think if we make the tail move

[Mathinder (Master)] then that will counter balance the jaws

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

Mathinder (Master) looks over at the workbench

[Mathinder (Master)] what do you think boys?

[Mathinder (Master)] can we do that?

[Mathinder (Master)] good natured groans from the four gnomes

[Mathinder (Master)] Mathinder looks back at your group

[Mathinder (Master)] This is just a proto type, would you like it?

[Mathinder (Master)] offers it to Indigo

Indigo (Lisa) looks around, "really? I can have it?"

Mathinder (Master) looks at Branwyn and Barnabas

[Mathinder (Master)] has he been good?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you have more? I don't want to take your only dragon.

Tristan Elaire (Eric) laughs out loud

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He has been very good.

Mathinder (Master) then here you go

[Ilero (TMO)] (checks to see what phase the moon is in, as the loonies are apparently in full bloom down here)

[Mathinder (Master)] what is your name son?

[Indigo (Lisa)] My name is Indigo. Thank you very much Sir Mathinder.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I will take good care of it.

Indigo (Lisa) turns it over in his hands very happy

Mathinder (Master) happy warm laugh

[Mathinder (Master)] looks at the rest of the group

[Mathinder (Master)] now

[Mathinder (Master)] I was not prepared for this

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Mathinder (Master)] but maybe I can come up with something for you

[Mathinder (Master)] looking at Barnabas

[Mathinder (Master)] An eagle perhaps?

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] I dinbnae understand what that toy has tae do with us coming after ye?

[Mathinder (Master)] it will glide for you, cannot get the wings to flap on them yet

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

Mathinder (Master) turns and picks up a wooden bird off of the workbench

[Mathinder (Master)] holds it out to Barnabas

[Mathinder (Master)] it will glide through the air for a short distance too

[Mathinder (Master)] looks at Tristen

[Mathinder (Master)] hmm

[Mathinder (Master)] a Catapult for you?

Barnabas Stone (Guy) takes the eagle with a puzzled look

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Catapult?

[Mathinder (Master)] Or owul dyou like a trebucet instead?

Tristan Elaire (Eric) smiles yes do you have a full sized one?

Mathinder (Master) laughs loudly and deeply

Branwyn (Lisa) eyes growing wide

[Ilero (TMO)] (if this were a book, I'd say he's handing out the Chekov's guns for later plot developments. ;) )

[Mathinder (Master)] I think the lady would like your catapult

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] The trebucet whould be wonderful

[Mathinder (Master)] pulsl up a small model

[Mathinder (Master)] hands a catapult to Branwyn and a Trebucet to Tristan

Mathinder (Master) wags a finger at the two of you,

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Is it a scale model of a working one friend

[Ilero (TMO)] (one trenchbucket, coming right up!)

[Mathinder (Master)] no breaking anything with thises

[Mathinder (Master)] be careful!

[Mathinder (Master)] (yes working scale models)

Tristan Elaire (Eric) studies it's wroking components and takes mental notes on its construction

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "Thank you very much. You are quite talented. "

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Fine craftmanship sir. You do amazing work

Mathinder (Master) looking at Shur

[Mathinder (Master)] then pulls out a sharpening stone from his pocket

[Mathinder (Master)] I think you would appreciate this

[Mathinder (Master)] hands it to her

[Mathinder (Master)] on the back side is a groove to wax your bow strings

[Tristan Elaire (Eric) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Tristan Elaire modified:

[Shurkural (TMO)] Oh.. uh.. Thank you, Sir. I'll .. Thank you.

Mathinder (Master) warm smile

[Mathinder (Master)] then picks up a small set of discs from a pile on the counter top

[Mathinder (Master)] looks at Ilero

[Mathinder (Master)] These I think will keep you occupied

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] aye as the lass says thnak ye but I still dinnae understand

[Mathinder (Master)] puts them on a spindle

Branwyn (Lisa) feeling guiltier by the moment they did not bring a gift for the man they were going to abscond

[Mathinder (Master)] and them become a top

[Mathinder (Master)] spins them each individually as coins

[Mathinder (Master)] makes one dance across his knuckles then disapear

[Mathinder (Master)] then hands the six discs to Ilero

Ilero (TMO) nods and takes them. "T'anks. Hye will speriment wit' t'em later."

Christina has joined the game on Fri Jun 21 20:24:32 EDT 2013

Christina is receiving the map Arboretum...

[Master] Miranda moved 26'10".

Christina has received the map Arboretum.

[Mathinder (Master)] (Letting Christina get fully logged in)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi Christina :) )

[Mathinder (Master)] (and will let someone explain what is happening so far)

[Ilero (TMO)] (Crazy loon who thinks he's Santa Claus giving out toys)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ((hey christina and we afre apparently in the presents of Santa Claus lol))

[Christina] (Heya! Loved your charge last session! "Massively wounded mage? No problem! I'll kill them anyways!")

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he does live at the north pole and has a bunch of little people working for him)

[Christina] O_o

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (yep we need to find those reindeer)

[Christina] (Besides, I'm safe from Crazy Santa Claus. . . you locked Miranda out last session anyways. :-D )

[Mathinder (Master)] chuckles

[Mathinder (Master)] I do not think Miranda was locked out

[Mathinder (Master)] just no one here to play her

[Christina] (Pish, I would have locked her out too! :-D )

[Mathinder (Master)] in any case she is here now

[Christina] (Catching up on the current chat log, btw.)

[Mathinder (Master)] in the work room

[Christina] Arboretum the only map we're on?

[Mathinder (Master)] yes

[Mathinder (Master)] have one more for you

[Mathinder (Master)] (and when you are ready to resume)

JOHN A has joined the game on Fri Jun 21 20:33:02 EDT 2013

JOHN A is receiving the map Arboretum...

[Mathinder (Master)] he is standing there with a set of scales for Miranda, each with small little weights on eithe rside

[Mathinder (Master)] oooo

[Mathinder (Master)] need to think about this now

JOHN A has received the map Arboretum.

[Master] Brother Fotopoulos moved 39'01".

[Mathinder (Master)] Hello John, are you in Fort Pierce? or home?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi John!)

[JOHN A] ft pierce

[JOHN A] hello all

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] hi

[Mathinder (Master)] Ok, have your gifts for the 20th anniversary and the ten years online here for you

[Mathinder (Master)] figure I do not need to mail them to you, ;)

[JOHN A] +2 ax?

[Mathinder (Master)] no

[Master] but I do have your adventure worked out

[Master] for your mastery

[JOHN A] we can dream

[Master] so JOhn are you reading the log? or do you want a recap?

[Ilero (TMO)] (Some day I'll buy me a warhammer to hang next to the swords)

[JOHN A] kids are still saying hi, just keep going and i'll catch up

[Christina] I am back at the keyboard.

[Miranda (Christina)] (Detect magic is a cantrip -- can I look at the toys to see if they're magical?)

[JOHN A] "no time to 'splain, let me aum up"

[Master] yes to Christina and no they are not

[Master] and hello to Michael and Miranda the kids

[JOHN A] hey

Miranda (Christina) whispers to Branwyn, "We might be able to kill two birds with one stone -- take him and the Oracle out of here, and maybe work out a way with the Lord to communicate it to the Legion. They might chase after us instead if the oracle isn't here."

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "Good luck with them chasing us after we teleport. I'm not sure the oracle is going anywhere though but we'll see"

[Master] Time of Day: 06:57 PM. Day 27 See ___ se, Fey {Mid Winter} 27th, 342 SKR.

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] brb getting a drink

Mathinder (Master) looking at Hoffman

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] Are ye ready tae go sir?

Miranda (Christina) whispers back, "That's why we should get the Lordship involved. It's better than doing nothing."

Mathinder (Master) looking at Foto

[Mathinder (Master)] (and did you see what he gave Miranda? the scales ? )_

[Mathinder (Master)] the scales are all wood but the weights are little carved men and women

[Miranda (Christina)] I believe the gentleman said that he wanted to visit the oracle first. Surely we have enough time for that?

[Miranda (Christina)] (I did catch that!)

Branwyn (Lisa) whispers "Sure I don't mind. If he wants to go and we can send the Legion on a goose chase it sounds good to me"

[Mathinder (Master)] rummages around in a cabinet and pulls out a medium sized ball for foto

Hoffman (JOHN A) clears throat

[Mathinder (Master)] then shows how it slides open

[Mathinder (Master)] to reveal a smaller ball inside

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] that what I meant lass ye need tae be a bit more relaxed

[Mathinder (Master)] then that one slides open again

Branwyn (Lisa) thinks for a moment "when we first came in you asked if we had come for the dragon. You aren't building a life-size mechanical dragon are you?"

[Miranda (Christina)] (And give me credit -- this idea is far riskier to get to work, but shows some potential!)

[Mathinder (Master)] then the third one reveals a fourth inside

[Mathinder (Master)] a small marble sized one

Mathinder (Master) looks at Branwyn

[Mathinder (Master)] That is a marvelous idea!

[Mathinder (Master)] We could use a light wood for the wing bones

[Mathinder (Master)] maybe canvas

[Mathinder (Master)] for wings

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Really?

Miranda (Christina) eyes narrow.

[Mathinder (Master)] we could hollow out the body

[Mathinder (Master)] we could even fit someone inside

[Mathinder (Master)] looks at Indigo

[Mathinder (Master)] you might fit

[Miranda (Christina)] Maybe we are looking at "an" oracle, but maybe not "the" oracle.

[Mathinder (Master)] you could work a bellows

[Mathinder (Master)] it would spit fire

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You could scare a lot of people sending a life size dragon flying overhead

[Ilero (TMO)] (Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus, burning down Santa Claus Lane!)

[Mathinder (Master)] Oh flying

[Miranda (Christina)] Wouldn't it take months to make?

[Brother Fotopoulos (JOHN A)] that looks cool but not sure why

[Mathinder (Master)] that would be too hard, you would need magic for that

[Mathinder (Master)] that would ruin it

Miranda (Christina) gives Branwyn a smile.

[Miranda (Christina)] Not if it makes lots of people happy, no?

Mathinder (Master) shakes his head ruefully, anyone can use magic to make people happy

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] what if ye had a way tae use people tae make the wings flap?

Indigo (Lisa) smiles thinking about flying over Drillian in a big firebreathing dragon

Mathinder (Master) looks at Barnabas

[Mathinder (Master)] that would be interesting

[Indigo (Lisa)] It would need windows so you could look out and see the outside

[Mathinder (Master)] I wonder how big

[Mathinder (Master)] or how strong

[Mathinder (Master)] moves to a table

[Mathinder (Master)] sits down and start clearing away things

[Miranda (Christina)] Small windows -- you wouldn't want to break the effect.

[Mathinder (Master)] pulls out a piece of chalk to start drawing

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] well if ye use strong halflings it would nae be very big

Ilero (TMO) scratches his nose and moves to peer at some of the other things on shelves.

[Mathinder (Master)] I wonder

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] dwarves would be tae heavy

[Mathinder (Master)] how much do you weigh?

[Mathinder (Master)] looking at Indigo

[Mathinder (Master)] or do you think gnomes would be better suited?

[Indigo (Lisa)] ummm I dunno. How do you figure that out?

[Mathinder (Master)] looking at Foto

[Brother Fotopoulos (JOHN A)] whistles

[Miranda (Christina)] (LOL)

[Brother Fotopoulos (JOHN A)] not i

[Master] a distant CRASH of a boulder from a catapault

[Mathinder (Master)] OH I am sorry

[Mathinder (Master)] I fogot you

[Mathinder (Master)] looking at Hoffman

[Mathinder (Master)] you are a man of mystery

[Mathinder (Master)] you need

[Mathinder (Master)] you

[Mathinder (Master)] hmmm

[Mathinder (Master)] looking at Hoffman closely

[Mathinder (Master)] /smiles and goes to a drawer

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (are there windows in this room looking over the walls?)

[Mathinder (Master)] (no)

[Mathinder (Master)] he pulls out an articulated manikin

[Mathinder (Master)] hands it to Hoffman

[Indigo (Lisa)] (a what?)

[Mathinder (Master)] shows him how to set it up in different poses

[Ilero (TMO)] (mannequin)

[Mathinder (Master)] (thank you)

[Mathinder (Master)] looks at Hoffman, this can be almost anything you want it to be

[Ilero (TMO)] (np - had to think about it a sec too. In spiteof having just played a game with the word in it)

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] i do not know what to aay

Tristan Elaire (Eric) whispers to Branwyn "you know Marquessa I have been looking at these models and I believe when we return I could design a full scale model for you if you know any quality carpenters who could construct my design"

Indigo (Lisa) chuckles "Hoffman gets a doll to play with"

Mathinder (Master) warm smile, it is with dolls that we can act out our inner choices

[Mathinder (Master)] to try them on before showing them to the world

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles brightly at Tristan "and I know a very skilled carpenter"

Branwyn (Lisa) thinks about a big catapult sitting atop her tower

[Ilero (TMO)] (how phallic ... somehow)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] spying thisng with the spyglass and destroying them with the catapult

[Ilero (TMO)] (Brawyn is compensating for something)

[Mathinder (Master)] lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Miranda (Christina)] (Who DOESN'T want a giant catapault?)

[Ilero (TMO)] (she has fears of impotence, and dreams of throwing her big balls into other people's faces)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not sure how to respond to that)

[Ilero (TMO)] (I'm not sure Freud would know how to respond to that)

[Mathinder (Master)] chuckles

[Miranda (Christina)] (I thought that's your thing? I mean, her balls burn down ships. )

[Mathinder (Master)] so moving forward

[Mathinder (Master)] each of you have a gift in their hands

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] thank so ao much

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Wonderful gifts indeed. But might I ask what they are for?

[Miranda (Christina)] How would you know these things about us?

Mathinder (Master) warm smile, it is what I do

[Mathinder (Master)] I am happy that you are pleased with them

[Mathinder (Master)] that is enough to make me happy

[Miranda (Christina)] I don't know that I could say that I'm happy.

Mathinder (Master) quirks an eyebrow at Mrianda

Miranda (Christina) looks at the scale in her hands.

Miranda (Christina) fingers the small figurines of people.

[Mathinder (Master)] it is what you think about? how to balance what you want with what you do?

[Miranda (Christina)] This gift tells me that I should weigh people against each other, to judge each person.

[Mathinder (Master)] how to determine who is good and who is not?

Miranda (Christina) sets her gift down on the table.

[Mathinder (Master)] how to find the way to keep everything in harmony

[Miranda (Christina)] Even if it means that someone dies?

[Mathinder (Master)] death is not permanent

[Mathinder (Master)] and everyone is born

[Miranda (Christina)] The easiest way to keep harmony would be to stand there and say nothing at all.

[Mathinder (Master)] the world would fill up if some did not leave when others entered

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] if ye did that loass then ye would nae be in harmony

[Mathinder (Master)] pokes Miranda on the nose with a finger, but you are not the type to stand still and not say anything

[Miranda (Christina)] Right, so why give me the scales?

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] i am glad qui fon is not here

[Mathinder (Master)] so that you may explore your inner conversations

[Miranda (Christina)] (I have to run with it! Trust me, next character is going to be way more light-hearted!)

[Mathinder (Master)] it is what all these things do for us, they help us enjoy our lives, to fufill them and bring us joy while teaching us about ourselves)

[Mathinder (Master)] have fun)

[Mathinder (Master)] grins

[Mathinder (Master)] so

[Mathinder (Master)] looking at Barnabas and Branwyn

[Mathinder (Master)] you came here from Cornell Floyfisk

[Mathinder (Master)] you have your answer about his dragon

[Mathinder (Master)] may I go back to work now?

[Miranda (Christina)] He asked us for you, not for the dragon.

Mathinder (Master) his eyes twinkle, what did I say about you not being able to not say things?

[Ilero (TMO)] (burn!)

Miranda (Christina) just stands there and looks at him.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well she is correct in that.

[Miranda (Christina)] I think, sir, that you already knew that he sent us for you, and not the dragon.

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] this is wher qui would say we were told what we needed ro hear to acomplish the greater good

Mathinder (Master) gives adeep sigh, looking around the workshop

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you know why you are so urgently needed down south?

Mathinder (Master) shakes his head

[Mathinder (Master)] when you said you were here for him I presumed it was to pick up his request

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] what is more important to the dragon slayers

[Branwyn (Lisa)] How long have you known Cornell?

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] we are here from him

[Miranda (Christina)] (fulfilling the contract, I think.)

[Mathinder (Master)] I met him once or twice in the past, perhaps he was in my shop before and I did not know

[Mathinder (Master)] I like to take pride in the fact that I am the best at what I do

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And he requested a dragon from you?

[Mathinder (Master)] when I get requests I do my best to statisfy

[Mathinder (Master)] yes he wanted something for a nephew he told me

[Miranda (Christina)] (Anyone have a sap on them? It's not kidnapping if you were paid to save them, right?)

[Mathinder (Master)] I always thought it was for himself,

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "If he has seen your fine work maybe it was for himself"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You will come with us?

[Mathinder (Master)] how will we go?

Tristan Elaire (Eric) looks to Branwyn "I do not know this Cornell. Would he seriously send us risking our lives for a toy maker?

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] if the pay was right aye he would

Branwyn (Lisa) shrugs "I have never met him myself. There must be a reason"

Miranda (Christina) shakes her head and looks at Tristan.

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Mathinder "Quickly and painlessly. We will be there in a flash and another Dragonslayer shall take you from there"

[Miranda (Christina)] It's a little odd that he knows so much about us and this is the first time meeting him.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sargeant Snowfoot specifically, if you know her.

[Mathinder (Master)] I must insist on visiting the Oracle first

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Who or what is this oracle? A messanger to the gods?

[Ilero (TMO)] Hye like visit Oracle too. Hye haff no questions, just want see.

[Mathinder (Master)] the Oracle helps me with my requests

[Mathinder (Master)] I can only help those I can see

[Mathinder (Master)] and talk with

[Mathinder (Master)] the Oracle can help me with her powers of divination to know what each good boy or girls really wants

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ((brb))

Miranda (Christina) sighs, picks up the scale from the table, and stuffs it in her bag.

[Mathinder (Master)] and I can try to make that for them

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She sounds quite powerful. And very benevolent.

[Mathinder (Master) (to JOHN A only)] you think the scales work for Miranda?

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] are we here for someone or something?

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Hoffman and sighs "You are worse than Esmerelda tonight"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] yes, we are here to take Mathinder back with us.

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ((back))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Are we allowed to come with you to see the Oracle?

[Hoffman (JOHN A) (to Master only)] i would thinkk they will ok, still trying to keep up

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] aye and there is still a lot of arguing tae be done

[Mathinder (Master)] of course

[Mathinder (Master)] what sort of arguing is there to be done?

[Mathinder (Master)] and have you been home to the Highlands recently? looking at Barnabas

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] you are the smart one, do we have written orders?

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] we are tae take ye and the rest of the city bedamned

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] I have nae been home in years

[Mathinder (Master)] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Highlands

[Mathinder (Master)] (in case you were wondering)

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Hoffman "It's not like you could read them if we had them. I don't have anything in writing from the Dragonslayers. Barnabas might. They asked. I said yes. It was very simple to me."

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] (that is a quote)

[Mathinder (Master)] (she said yes)

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] what barnabas said

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Bob has me programmed)

[Mathinder (Master)] lol

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] but i thought we were sent for the oracle

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ((you cant train somebody who not only has played but has DMed))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No a sage. Mathinder. The Oracle seems to be a confusing point - for me as well as we started our travels.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I thought they were the same person myself for a bit.

[Miranda (Christina)] We can take 20 people

[Miranda (Christina)] (>_>)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] and how do ye choose who gets saved?

Miranda (Christina) sighs.

[Miranda (Christina)] That's what I was trying to tell Mathinder.

[Miranda (Christina)] I was whispering an idea to Branwyn that maybe we work with the lord and oracle on this matter.

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to JOHN A only)] a Quote from what? :)

[Miranda (Christina)] We take both Mathinder and the Oracle when we leave.

[Mathinder (Master)] J and S, Ilero and Shur, Bran and Indigo, Hoffman, Foto, Miranda, Barnabas, Es, Tris, Androp,

[Miranda (Christina)] And see if we can't make the Legion know it.

[Mathinder (Master)] (who am I missing?)

[Mathinder (Master)] (abu and ? )

[Hoffman (JOHN A) (to Lisa only)] plane trains and automobi

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] es

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's right - 14 of us and mathinder is 15 - 5 slots left)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] ( we can take some gnomes)

[Miranda (Christina)] Compromise and see if we can't entice the Legion to go chase after something that isn't a frozen capital containting seige weapons and soldiers.

[Mathinder (Master)] there are only four of them

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (see! we can take Mathinder's little helpers too)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (that would probably help us convincing him to leave)

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to JOHN A only)] never saw that movie for some odd reason

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to JOHN A only)] so flew, chugged and sped straight past me

[Hoffman (JOHN A) (to Lisa only)] great movie lots of funny quote once u know

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] We should be going soon before it is too late. Mathinder can you take us to see this oracle?

[Miranda (Christina)] If we're lucky, we might be able to get the legion to leave the city.

[Mathinder (Master)] If you insist that we go we need to speak with the Oracle

[Ilero (TMO)] If t'ey here for Oracle.

[Mathinder (Master)] our teleportation device is not suitable for people

[Mathinder (Master)] sending Lisa the new map

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You have a teleportation device?

[Mathinder (Master)] We do need a way to get these gifts to the people who want them

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (got map - weird blue circle on it but have it)

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] can you make something suitable for a bad man?

[Miranda (Christina)] Test?

[Master] Mathinder moved 22'00".

[Miranda (Christina)] Test?

[Mathinder (Master)] why would we want to make somethign for a bad man?

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] worked for me

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] worked for me

[Master] Mathinder moved 1'07".

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] to try and make him change his way, or punish him

[Master] Indigo moved 16'09".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you don't see big blue circle covering top half of map?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (all gone! map perfection)

[Miranda (Christina)] (It's gone now.)

[Ilero (TMO)] (I see 2 circles on bottom half)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] the only thing them bloody cannibals understand is a hammer tae their head

Miranda (Christina) looks at Mathinder.

[Miranda (Christina)] Sometimes it isn't about whether or not the other person is bad or good; sometimes it's only about what YOU do.

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (do I see any religous symbols or names I may recognize? Does this look like a temple to gods?)

[Shurkural (TMO)] What .. what if you made toys for all the cannibals?

[Master] Tis looks like a very old temple to gods from a previous time

[Miranda (Christina)] (They'd probably try to eat us anyways.)

[Mathinder (Master)] if the cannibals would enjoy them and they were good I would make them for them

[Mathinder (Master)] but it is always about being good over being bad

[Master] Mathinder moved 79'00".

[Master] Branwyn, Shurkural, Indigo, Hoffman, Ilero, Brother Fotopoulos, Miranda, Barnabas Stone and Tristan Elaire moved 65'07".

Tristan Elaire (Eric) clasps his holy symbol and whipsers prayers of protection to Cahus from any pagen gods"

[Miranda (Christina)] So if you saw a person hurt beside the road, and you knew that he had stolen something from someone else, you'd leave him there? Wouldn't that make YOU the bad person?

Mathinder (Master) looks at Miranda, I leave the moral questions to priests,

[Mathinder (Master)] are you a priest?

[Miranda (Christina)] (Um, is anyone else worried about Bob's choice of icon?)

Tristan Elaire (Eric) shispers "not the right ones apparently.."

[Miranda (Christina)] The very concept of good and bad is a moral question.

Miranda (Christina) points to Tristan.

[Master] Mathinder moved 16'02".

[Master] Mathinder targets Oracle. Distance: 10'03"

[Miranda (Christina)] He is a priest. I once was and am no longer.

[Mathinder (Master)] KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

[Master] Oracle moved 5'02".

[Master] Oracle targets Mathinder. Distance: 5'04"

[Shurkural (TMO)] (I am prepared to be sacrificed upon the Altar of Bob)

Tristan Elaire (Eric) raises an eyebrow at Miranda's comment "interesting"

[Oracle (Master)] WHY DO YOU DISTURB MY REST

[Mathinder (Master)] I have brought people with me

[Mathinder (Master)] they say they will take me away from here

[Mathinder (Master)] they say you are in danger

[Oracle (Master)] WHY WOULD I BE IN DANGER?

Mathinder (Master) looks back at the group

[Miranda (Christina)] (I'm really worried about Bob's choice of icon now?)

[Miranda (Christina)] Hungering Legion are hungering for the flesh of the oracle, or so we have been told.

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] there is a mercenary group attacking yer city they are cannibals and the ybe hungry

[Hoffman (JOHN A) (to Lisa only)] looks like santa? is it a surprize?

[Oracle (Master)] SO YOU ARE HERE TO FREE ME AT LAST

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to JOHN A only)] Mathinder is santa and we are going to steal him - feeling way guilty about this

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] free ye I dinnae understand

[Mathinder (Master)] she has been here for many years,

[Mathinder (Master)] her native abilities have kept the city safe and cold

[Hoffman (JOHN A) (to Lisa only)] the oracle reminds me of a star trek movie

Indigo (Lisa) looks up at Oracle and gasps

[Hoffman (JOHN A) (to Lisa only)] why does god need a starship

[Miranda (Christina)] (Can we actually see the oracle?)

[Mathinder (Master)] I worked out that her divination skills could allow me to help more people that I could not see

[Miranda (Christina)] (I didn't think we got a description yet.)

Indigo (Lisa) looks down at his dragon and back at Oracle again

[Mathinder (Master)] (yes that is exactly what you see, a huge white dragon behind two large translucent ice doors)

[Shurkural (TMO)] (white dragon?)

[Shurkural (TMO)] (yupyup)

[Miranda (Christina)] (Okay, so how are chromatic dragons treated in Bob's world?)

[Mathinder (Master)] with her skills of divination I can determine who is good or not

[Mathinder (Master)] where I should teleport a gift to for a good boy or girl

[Indigo (Lisa) (to JOHN A only)] to get to the other side? ours is not to question why ours is but to do and die

Miranda (Christina) is stunned into speechlessness.

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] who is watching the watcher

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] this is nae what I was expecting

[Miranda (Christina)] (Do we have anyone here who can do sense motive on a dragon?)

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] you care who is good but have you questioned if it is right to use the oracle

[Mathinder (Master)] (LOL at Guy's understatement)

Indigo (Lisa) whispers to Miranda, "not sure we can take the Oracle back to Midturn"

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Tell me Oracle... Why were you imprisoned

[Oracle (Master)] I WAS TRAPPED HERE MANY YEARS AGO

Miranda (Christina) whispers back, depending on the circumstances, we may not need to."

[Oracle (Master)] IS THERE A REASON THAT HUMANS DO THINGS LIKE THIS

[Shurkural (TMO)] eep

[Miranda (Christina)] (They are crunchy and taste good with ketchup?)

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] do you know how we can free you?

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] tis a shame but humans can be just as evil as dragons can

[Mathinder (Master)] Oh that is easy, just break these locks on the door

[Mathinder (Master)] points to a large set of frozen locks in the middle of the doors

[Ilero (TMO)] How come you hasn't yet?

[Mathinder (Master)] me? I do not have the right to do that

[Mathinder (Master)] I only come here to ask questions

[Mathinder (Master)] I am not in charge of the city

[Ilero (TMO)] So city keep it trapped. And t'ey not mind us freeing it because of Legion? Or t'ey not know about it? Yet.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wait. The people of this city captured you and are holding you prisoner?

[Mathinder (Master)] me?

[Miranda (Christina) (to JOHN A only)] Psssst, see my message?

[Oracle (Master)] THEY CAPTURED ME WHILE I SLEPT

[Oracle (Master)] IT HAS EEN MANY YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN HERE NOW

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And they are forcing you to keep the city frozen in ice?

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Then why are you helping them with your divinations?

Miranda (Christina) scowls.

[Miranda (Christina)] Boredom?

[Oracle (Master)] I ANSWER QUESTIONS AND THEY FEED ME

[Miranda (Christina)] In freeing you, we might damn the entire city anyways.

[Miranda (Christina)] You'll take your vengeance and kill everyone of us.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe that's what they deserve Miranda.

[Oracle (Master)] I WANT THE COLD AND ICE TO CONTINUE

[Miranda (Christina)] Us too?

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] i am not saying we ahoul, just considering

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She wouldn't kill the people that freed her.

[Ilero (TMO)] You hope

[Miranda (Christina)] We have no guarantees on that.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So why did they capture you?

[Oracle (Master)] I WAS YOUNG AND FOOLISH

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] (do we have detect evil to see)

[Oracle (Master)] I HAVE LEARNED TO NOT TRUST HUMANS

[Miranda (Christina)] See?

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (I can't cast it no access to divination sphere)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If we freed you where would you go?

[Ilero (TMO)] So, was we hired to bring back Oracle, or Mat'inder? Or bot'?

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] we are here for a contract

[Miranda (Christina)] I forsee icy death for everyone here, including us. It was a mistake to think that the oracle could or even would help the city.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (mathinder only)

[Miranda (Christina)] We were hired to bring back Mathinder.

[Oracle (Master)] I WOULD BE FREE TO DO WHAT I WANT

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The city doesn't deserve help to my mind.

[Oracle (Master)] TO GO WHERE I WANT

[Miranda (Christina)] Maybe the dragon was munching on children for all we know.

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] anything we do to put that goal in danger is going against the mercha

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And if we freed you, you would be grateful and leave us in peace?

[Miranda (Christina)] It's too dangerous!

[Ilero (TMO)] Or maybe meditating on world peace. We know not'ing. Everyt'ing else just guesswork.

[Oracle (Master)] I WILL NOT PROMISE HUMANS ANYTHING

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thought Miranda liked the animals)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Even if we helped you? Not all humans are bad.

[Miranda (Christina)] (Dragons are dangerous! And they're not quite animals!)

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] i do not think your bosses would want you too

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs "I tried to save a dragon once...."

[Ilero (TMO)] (some humans quite good, with a nice side salad and proper wine)

[Miranda (Christina)] (LOL)

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] free an evil dragon

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Who says this is an evil dragon Hoffman?

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] I dinnae like this

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is helping Mathinder bring toys to the good little girls and boys.

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] i am not sure, just a feeling

[Miranda (Christina)] Evil or not, the dragon doesn't trust humans, and is angry at it's long imprisonment.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Doesn't sound evil to me.

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Yes to survive

[Miranda (Christina)] Because she's getting fed to do it!

[Miranda (Christina) (to Lisa only)] I had to ask John what Miranda would do here, lol. He told me that she thinks dragons are too dangerous.

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to Christina only)] John thinks everything is too dangerous

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] lassyer nae thinking right

[Master] (love how this has switched to Miranda and Tristen saying you should abandong them to the horde whil Branwyn is now in favor of savivng the Oracle, BOWS, very well done)

[Ilero (TMO)] (dragons - master of the mood swings)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol Bob)

[Miranda (Christina) (to Lisa only)] LOL.

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] LOL

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ye are will tae abandon the city tae the cannibals yet ye are willing tae risk setting a dragon loose on them

[Miranda (Christina)] (I haven't given up! I'm trying to come up with an idea first!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] What can I do to convince you we are not evil and will help you?

[Miranda (Christina)] (Something about letting the Hungering Legion and the dragon beat the snot out of each other.)

[Ilero (TMO)] remove t'orn from its paw?

[Miranda (Christina)] So how many city people do you think she'll kill once she gets out?

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] i fear the leigon are here to free the dragon

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Legion wishes to kill the Oracle and eat her. Not free her.

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Or kill it to try and consume her power

[Miranda (Christina)] We thought Mathinder was the oracle at one point too.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If she is chained like this and they break in, they will succeed

[Miranda (Christina)] I think we have more misinformation.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The only way to stop them is either kill the Legion or free the dragon

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] why does mahinder trust the oracle?

[Miranda (Christina)] I think Hoffman is right -- it is more likely that they want to free the dragon.

[Miranda (Christina)] How many cities can they conquer if they have the power of a dragon at their side?

[Master] Everythign you know about the Hungering Legion so far indicates they are here to eat the dragon, they believe they will inherit it's powers if they eat it's brain

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think Hoffman is right at all. And he shouldn't be talking about dragons. I just hope she doesn't do any divinations on him.

[Miranda (Christina)] She already did.

[Miranda (Christina)] She did divinations on all of us.

[Master] and she is not chained, just locked behind the ice walls

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well then Hoffman better watch out for himself.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And she should know I will try to keep my word at any cost.

Miranda (Christina) swallows hard.

[Miranda (Christina)] But she doesn't have to keep hers.

[Ilero (TMO)] Is a demned if you do, demned if you don't. Can argue good and bad both sides, and no way tell which is right.

[Miranda (Christina)] It is so hard -- salvation and damnation on the same coin.

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] so ye are willing tae condemd an entire city fer yer pride?

[Ilero (TMO)] Your accent hard to understand sometimes.

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] (was that a no on detect wvil?)

[Master] LOL

[Miranda (Christina)] We can't know what she would do.

[Miranda (Christina)] (LMAO)

[Miranda (Christina)] (There are no weavils in my bread.)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I repeat. If we free you, will you leave us in peace?

[Miranda (Christina)] (That's bad, I know.)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (can brother foto?)

[Miranda (Christina)] Just us?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I do not care about the Legion. But will you not hurt the people that free you?

[Oracle (Master)] I WILL MAKE NO PROMISES

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then how can we free you Oracle? I want to very much but not at the risk of death.

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] then yer a bloody fool as well

[Mathinder (Master)] perhaps you have a way to melt the ice here? melt the locks?

[Miranda (Christina)] She's angry enough that she won't even broker a deal for her freedom? She will kill us all. It looks like the augury was right. I do have to stand aside on this one.

Fritz has joined the game on Fri Jun 21 22:16:06 EDT 2013

Fritz is receiving the map Temple copy...

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Mathinder "Of course I can. But not if she's going to kill us immediately thereafter!"

[Miranda (Christina)] Melting the locks isn't the problem here, Mathinder. It's about cooling her rage.

[Mathinder (Master)] can you delay it after you start?

[Mathinder (Master)] how fast can we leave?

Ilero (TMO) sighs. "light small fire at base of door. Walk away. Heat melt door in few hours, we be gone."

[Miranda (Christina)] Naw, I doubt they would allow it to be that easy.

[Fritz] ola

[Miranda (Christina)] Any fool in the city could accidentally unleash her upon the city then.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And if someone comes in and puts the fire out, the Legion may still kill her.

[Miranda (Christina)] Heya

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] hi

[Mathinder (Master)] (hey fritz, I think you should ask first what is happening)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi Fritz :) ) [Miranda (Christina)] (The oracle is a very angry white dragon.)

Ilero (TMO) shrugs. "I not see how anyone do it 'by accident', but magic might stop it. I not magicker, I not deal in magic solutions."

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Pardon me my good friends.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and rightfully so)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] I seem to have been in a daze

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Could you please fill me in on what has been happening?

[Ilero (TMO)] Ice fever. Bad case.

[Master] chuckles

[Miranda (Christina)] (We're not getting the full story here though - we haven't gotten the story from the people.)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you missed presents!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ask Mathinder what happened)

[Miranda (Christina)] (You didn't miss becoming an entre though!)

[Ilero (TMO)] (and wit!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (dragon kidnapping and all)

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] brother can cast detect evil

[Miranda (Christina)] (We haven't gotten to that yet. She's going to eat us first.)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] I have long suspected that things here were not what it seemed

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Branwyn feels like she owes a dragon some saving)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] So Oracle.

[Master] LOL that is the most confusing summation I have seen

[Master] in brief Fritz,

[Master] they met Mathinder

[Miranda (Christina)] (Miranda thinks that the dragon is going to eat all of us if she gets out.)

[Master] in one word what is he like? Lisa?

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Let me see if I understand what I know from the historical stories and tales I have heard in my travels

[Master] Then he brought you here to the Oracle

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (miranda wasn't there when Branwyn threw herself in front of a dragon to try to save it and failed)

[Master] and you found out that the Oralce is a white dragon imprisoned under the city

[Miranda (Christina)] (She will be when we face icy death!)

Eric has left the game on Fri Jun 21 22:21:32 EDT 2013

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] You are the source of the magic that keeps the city frozen

[Master] yes

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] But the idea that you have "oracular" powers has been wrong

[Master] not at all

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] YOu do have oracular powers

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Interesting

[Master] Mathinder uses her divination skills to determine which boys and girls ahve been good or bad

[Master] and which deserve to get a gift

[Master] from his workshop

[Shurkural (TMO)] (I wanted a pony!)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Wait....

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] yes

[Shurkural (TMO)] (oo, I think he's getting an idea!)

[Miranda (Christina)] (And you thought it couldn't get any more confusing than OUR explanation!)

Eric has joined the game on Fri Jun 21 22:23:16 EDT 2013

Eric is receiving the map Temple copy...

[Miranda (Christina)] (LOL)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Mathinder is the one with the "oracular" powers. YOu have a "different " form of magic

[Master] nope

[Master] Mathinder knows what people want when he talks with them

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Really?

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] And you know?????

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not sure Abu has been a good enough boy to have gotten a gift anyway ;-)

[Miranda (Christina)] Mathinder is Santa Claus.

[Master] the Oracle helps him witht hat for people from a distance

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] AS a 'FOCUS"?

[Master] noipe

Eric has received the map Temple copy.

[Master] just with her divination

[Master] he does not have that

[Master] nor does he know who has been good or bad

[Master] he asked Branwyn and Barnabas abotu the group

[Master] he just knows how to make wonderful toys that fit the person

[Master] hence Indigo has a dragon, Branwyn has a catapult

[Master] etc

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Mathinder. Is what the Oraclke saying true? That the people of the city captured her in her sleep and are using her for her powers?

[Mathinder (Master)] She has been here longer than I have been in the city

[Mathinder (Master)] I was looking for a quiet out of the way place to work on my projects

[Mathinder (Master)] this seemed to be a good fit

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But you have not heard the stories? Capturing a dragon is quite a feat.

[Mathinder (Master)] then I found out about the Oracle

[Mathinder (Master)] I am not really worried about stories,

[Mathinder (Master)] I only worry about what a person really wants that I can make

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] So great White Hope of the Great City, what is your wishes?

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] what does the oracle want

[Oracle (Master)] I WOULD BE FREE AND DEVOUR THOSE WHO OPPOSE ME

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] You know that if we leave here or we are killed by you then you will be devoured yourself

[Miranda (Christina)] (So, in otherwords, the entire population.)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And if I promise that our group that stands before you will not oppose you?

[Ilero (TMO)] No opposing here, nope.

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] aome things do not deserve what they want

[Oracle (Master)] (has already said does not trust humans)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] I understand that you have been a prisoner here but have you had a good life or a bad life here?

[Ilero (TMO)] (very loudly said, in fact. Multiple times)

[Miranda (Christina)] (So, that means she would probably believe us to be opposing her, even if we do free her.)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] I don't trust humans OR dragons for that matter myself

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Well there are a "few" I consider trustworthy

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Those in my clan

[Eric] Why are arguing? Either way this city is doomed right? Either this dragon will consume them or the legion will.... what does it matter to us anymore. We're here for him (points to Mathinder)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Others I wouldn't give them a nickle for a lie or gold piece for the truth

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then we are leaving?

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Of course NOT

[Miranda (Christina)] I think we should visit the lord first to warn him as such.

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Abu "you have something to say?"

[Master] Time of Day: 07:00 PM. Day 27 See ___ se, Fey {Mid Winter} 27th, 342 SKR.

[Master] Time of Day: 07:15 PM. Day 27 See ___ se, Fey {Mid Winter} 27th, 342 SKR.

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] No no no....The Legion will eat the people AND the dragon

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] remind me tae have a few words with the bloody old dragon if we get back

[Eric] All I'm saying is unless we know if this creature is evil or not then aren't we doing more harm by releasing it into the world? How many more human cities iwill it destroy?

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] The Oracle needs to decide wether it wishes to live or be eaten

Branwyn (Lisa) and at Miranda "And warn him of what? He is probably the one who captured her in the first place"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I care less and less about the people the more I speak with the Oracle.

[Miranda (Christina)] No, between what Mathinder and the Oracle herself said, he's probably not the one who captured her.

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Oh Great White ORacle Dragon what IS your name?

[Ilero (TMO)] Hey, Oracle say not trust humans. We got non-humans right here.

[Miranda (Christina)] She was captured long ago.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But the Lord keeps her. He is culpable.

[Miranda (Christina)] If you became lord of a city, would you free an angry dragon who sees no difference between one person in the next?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would keep at her until I had earned her trust.

[Miranda (Christina)] You cannot earn the trust of someone in a cage.

[Miranda (Christina)] And you cannot trust someone in a cage.

[Master] Sneewittchen

[Ilero (TMO)] Gesundheit

[Miranda (Christina)] Snow --?

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Sneewittchen...What a beautiful name

[Eric] And how do we know that keeping her imprisoned isn't for the good of all in this area. I'm sure many would love to have this power over the red dragons in Drillian...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then you must do the right thing and take yopur chnces. I don't see how you can argue with that one Miranda.

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] (Bob I am going to make a bardic check)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Roll #1: (d20) [1d20=7] 7

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] BAM!!!!

[Miranda (Christina)] How many people here are truly culpable of keeping her captive?

[Miranda (Christina)] And how many innocents are there?

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] 30% and I made it!!!!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I thought Oracle sneezed)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that was her name?)

[Master] chuckles yes

[Eric] (lol)

[Miranda (Christina)] Are you going to interview every last soul in this city to say who was responsible and who wasn't?

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] You have been kept well fed....

[Miranda (Christina)] They could have starved her to death and saved themselves the expense.

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] ao all is good?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No. Let them all take their chances.

Shurkural (TMO) whispers to Abu, "What does 'cuplable' mean, sugar?'

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] (waits impatiently for Bob to give away the story line to the bard who gets the lucky rolls

[Master] chuckles

[Master] you know from that roll that there is no mention of a captive white dragon by that name in all of Terraguard so this is a secret, and that yes the hungering legion would love to eat her and gain her powers

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Do you have been well fed, your magic has grown...how about treasure? Do you have any treasure

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] YOU SUCK BOB....

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Treasure?!!??

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] LOL

[Master] there is no treasure in evidence, she is locked behind the walls here, she can speak through them and some how is fed, there are locks that open and close the doors

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is a prisoner. How is she amassing treasure?

[Miranda (Christina)] She's not going to have treasure in a prison.

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] That is like saying 'yOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING EXCEPT THE LEGION WANTS TO EAT THIS DRAGON...." which of course we have known all along

[Master] it has been a secret for decades

TMO pats the bard on the head. "There, there.."

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] it is important to know the Dragon slayers do not know

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Bob I rolled a "7" ....even if you only gave me a 10% chance even with my 30% chance you should give me more info

[Eric] I am back at the keyboard.

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] That is one of the few powers a Bard actually has

[Master] there isn't anything more TOO know

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] 5% per level

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Bleh

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] you rolled a7 0on 20

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] How about a guess at her age...

[Master] she is at a minimum over 100 years old

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] OH...fuck... sorry

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=68] 68

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] OK...I son'r knoq NYRHINF

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] i DONT KNOW ANYTHING

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Anyway

[Master] chuckles

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] What if you could be "PAID" for your services as well as being fed and cared for?

[Master] I did the math and figured out 35%

[Miranda (Christina)] (Closest thing I can come is "Snow-wipe" or "Snow paper")

[Miranda (Christina)] She doesn't trust humans, remember?

[Master] points to Miranda

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Abu like he is insane

[Miranda (Christina)] She's angry at her imprisonment and admits to wanting revenge on everyone.

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] How would you like to be not a PRISONER of the city but a HERO AND SAVIOR of the city?

[Miranda (Christina)] She's not going to make a deal.

[TMO] (wipe and paper? eww)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] What if you could get recognition for all you have done and will do for this area

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] If she was a benevolent dragon would she be so set on destroying a populace? I don't know... I still say we find out more before we open these locks.

[Miranda (Christina)] She's not going to trust that people regard her as a hero.

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] And be saved from being a meal?

[Miranda (Christina)] She's not going to trust that we're not conspiring with the people who kept her imprisoned.

[TMO] (wittchen is hovering at the back of my head. I have a piece of paper that says I speak German, but 20 years of not doing so has erased most of it)

[Master] (chuckles there is always wikipedia)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's cheating)

[Master] lol

[Miranda (Christina)] As a matter of fact, she'll most likely believe that we're trying to gain her good faith by working for the people who kept her here.

[TMO] (oh look, a dictionary)

[Master] lol

[Miranda (Christina)] (I couldn't find it in mine! It's not cheating if I took German and forgot!)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Of course we could just leave you here to be a meal

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So are we going to leave. I say we gather Mathinder's gnomes. Gather in a circle here. We can cantrip the fires on the locks and as they break get out of here. We're safe and the city and legion gets what's coming to them.

[Master] gnomes are with you

[Miranda (Christina)] Are you really going to take her word for it?

[TMO] (he probably played with the spelling a bit. Snee isn't how it's spelled either)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh good)

[Miranda (Christina)] No fires.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes fires

[Miranda (Christina)] (I know, but that one was clear.)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] And the rest of the city this creature devoures in rage?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And no I do not think she imprisoned herself.

[Miranda (Christina)] Give them all their fair chance.

[TMO] (I want to say Snow Wisdom)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] what gives ye the right tae pass sentence on the city?

[Master] smiles at TMO

[Branwyn (Lisa)] To what? Nowhre to run. Cannibals everywhere.

[Miranda (Christina)] And I don't believe that people would take the time and expense to keep her imprisoned witout some reason.

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Sneewithcen....you have a choice...end up a "never known meal to a bunch of cannibals or be a hero ?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes. Their own reasons.

[Miranda (Christina)] And she has her own reasons.

[TMO] (of course, if he went with homophone translation, wittchen could come from witch.

[Miranda (Christina)] You have no reason to believe her word over theirs.

[Oracle (Master)] I WILL DEVOUR ANYONE WHO COMES CLOSE

[Miranda (Christina)] See?

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] love to stay and save the world but it'ts past my bed time

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] good night all

[Oracle (Master)] night John

[Miranda (Christina)] Night John

[Oracle (Master)] you come back Sunday?

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] bummer good night

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] They will kill you from a distance...You wont stand a chance

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Never thought you were the prisoning and torturing type Miranda

[Miranda (Christina)] Torture?

[Hoffman (JOHN A)] uea

[Miranda (Christina)] She's being fed.

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Eventually you will be eaten like cold chicken on a sunday morning

JOHN A has left the game on Fri Jun 21 22:50:35 EDT 2013

[Miranda (Christina)] I believe in imprisoning those who would do others harm.

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Miranda (Christina)] She JUST said that she would INDESCRIMINATELY eat anyone who ventured close.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Food equals good treatment. I see.

[Miranda (Christina)] What does that tell you?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] As any creature that had been imprisoned for decades. I probably would too.

[Miranda (Christina)] So, you think people would spend lots of manpower and money to keep something as big and powerful as a dragon imprisoned on a whim?

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] If Libellula was in here Branwyn would you be so keen on releasing it? How do we know what this creature will do?

[TMO] (Wissen is knowledge, learning, scholarship, etc. That's what I was thinking of)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not a whim at all. She keep sthem protected with ice and snow. She arranges for gists from Mathinder and whatever else they make her do.

[Miranda (Christina)] How much money has been lost to her keeping the area cold? Loss of trade, possibly agriculture too. . ..

[Miranda (Christina)] Protected??

[TMO] City want that.

[Miranda (Christina)] This is NOT protection.

[Miranda (Christina)] The city has been trained to want it.

[Oracle (Master)] (you are on the arctic circle)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So we stand aside and say nothing?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] scales balanced?

[TMO] So, you right, t'ey wrong? How long you been here?

[Miranda (Christina)] If she has been imprisoned for a very long time, it's very likely that the city arose just to keep her locked away.

TMO backs up. "Sorry, not take sides."

[TMO] (oops, not in Ilero mode)

Ilero (TMO) backs up. "Sorry, not take sides."

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (lol i think you're on to something there TMO)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have a mission and if you want to keep the dragon a prisoner and I shall fail yet another dragon there is nothing I can do.

[Miranda (Christina)] Yeah, it looks like I was handed that message for a reason. The augury proved true after all.

[Miranda (Christina)] And I failed to save a city.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But you know and have to live with the fact that you do not save everyone

[Branwyn (Lisa)] and you do hurt others to get what you want

[Miranda (Christina)] I could say the same for you.

[Miranda (Christina)] How many is she going to slaughter when she gets out, I wonder?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And you will rtemember that the next time you berate me fgr being heartless

[Miranda (Christina)] At least I've got numbers to back me up.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I know what I do. It is not a mystery and I do not pretend otherwise

[Miranda (Christina)] You wouldn't even get their side of the story.

[Master] Time of Day: 07:30 PM. Day 27 See ___ se, Fey {Mid Winter} 27th, 342 SKR.

[Miranda (Christina)] If she were even remotely willing to negotiate, you may have some valid points, but she's not even trying.

[Miranda (Christina)] You'd even risk our lives as well.

Tristan Elaire (Eric) raises his hand "Um.. god knows i don't want to but into this but, we could go get their side of the story and make a decision from that "

[Miranda (Christina)] Hell, you'd feed us to the dragon.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No we can teleport out when the locks melt.

[Miranda (Christina)] (No butting into catfights! We're about to start the hair-pulling! I think.)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Well times a wasting...YOu are about to be a meal Great Worm...What is your decision?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I cannot assure our safety so I will not risk it.

[Miranda (Christina)] Really? Dragons have magic too, as I recall.

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (well if its naked KY wrestling then i'll keep out)

[Master] she has said she wants out to devour everything in her path

[Master] you have to decide if A - you want her to get out and B - if you can do it and not get eaten as you make your escape

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she said kill anyone who opposes her - there is a difference. which is it Bob?)

[Master] kill anyone in her path

[Master] if you take that literally you are standing in her path now between her prison and the doors behind you

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (any human right? Indigo may not be the one eaten whole this time)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Bob do I know anything about white dragon alignment?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You know where I stand. Let me know when you make up your minds.

[Miranda (Christina)] (You really want to hope she holds to that fine line, Tristan?)

Branwyn (Lisa) goes to sit by the frozen gate

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 43'04".

[Master] evil evil evil

Branwyn (Lisa) whispers "I'm sorry."

[Miranda (Christina)] Nobody has any spells, right?

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Lawful, chaotic or neutral?

[Master] chaotic

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 5'08".

[Ilero (TMO)] Shurkural moved 2'08".

[Master] I am sure that Tristen and Branwyn have spells left

Mathinder (Master) nods to Branwyn

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] yes i have spells but can't cast any divinations

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] I say leave the Bitch to die!!!

[Miranda (Christina)] How much more do you want? A giant red-lettered sign?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (very limited after that battle - no kill spells left)

[Miranda (Christina)] (We could have a slap fight!)

[Miranda (Christina)] Branwyn, how about this -- we talk to the lord, and you listen to his side.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and the legion takes her power and becomes....)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] I still have spells.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm staying here.

[Miranda (Christina)] (We don't even know if they can take her power.)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (does anyone have any previous or historical knowledge of white dragon alignments here? Tristan has never encounterd any nor is he trained in dragon lore so this thing could be a good dragon as far as i'm concerned)

[Miranda (Christina)] Who is being the stubborn one now?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Me.

[Ilero (TMO)] Everybody.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do what you want. I am staying with the dragon. Come and get me when it is over.

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (abu can you cast detect alignement or evil?

[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero [1d100]: (1d100) [1d100=49] 49

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ENOUGH

Abu Dhabi (Fritz) Raises hands in the air and starts to hum

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] YEP SHE'S EVIL

Indigo (Lisa) walks carefully over to Branwyn

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 37'07".

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ye can fight and argue tilyer blue in the faces but ye will nae solve the problem

[Indigo (Lisa)] You can't save every dragon Branwyn.

Miranda (Christina) throws her hands up in the air.

[Indigo (Lisa)] The last one wasn't your fault.

[Miranda (Christina)] Do what you like -- you have the coin.

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] yer both right and yer both wrong

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Some don't deserve it

[Miranda (Christina)] We're all at your mercy anyways.

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] Mithander can ye send one of yer helper and warn the lord that we will be freeing the Oracle

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] She's being an irrascible Bitch in the face of certain death...She can either forgive the past and embrace a futre of life, treasure and good food...Or death by being good food

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And you no nothing as usual Miranda

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] WHAT!

Miranda (Christina) walks up and places the scales with the figures in Branwyn's lap.

[Mathinder (Master)] I do not think I need to send anyone, if she goes out those doors everyone will know very quickly

[Miranda (Christina)] No, I'm reminding you of who ultimately makes the decision here.

Branwyn (Lisa) tosses them away from her

[Miranda (Christina)] You are the one with the ticket back home.

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] aye but I want tae give them as much a chance as possible

[Mathinder (Master)] very well

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] Branwyn when the helper gets back ye will need tae be fast in casting yer spells

[Miranda (Christina)] You are the one who has to balance everything in this instance.

Mathinder (Master) speaks with one of the gnomes, who hurries off

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The group makes the decisions. And I am outnumbered. You are being nasty and petty

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] STOP IT

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And your mage training ends with me right now.

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] yer both acting like children and nae warriors

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] So we're going to release a potentially evil creature on this world to wreak havoc????

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Find another master

[Miranda (Christina)] Nasty? Petty? Who is the one with the coin sitting in front of the ice doors?

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Well we better be fast about it becasue i doublt this town is going to let us relase this thing without a fight....

[Miranda (Christina)] Who is the one chasing someone away because of a difference of opinion?

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] HEY!!!

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] STOP

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I f you would ever listen I said let me know what you decide and I will follow. In the meanttime I stay here

[Master] Time of Day: 07:45 PM. Day 27 See ___ se, Fey {Mid Winter} 27th, 342 SKR.

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] We're about to have a whole pissed off town coming here to stop us from relasing this creature.

[Miranda (Christina)] Didn't you just say that you are out-numbered?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am done with you but I will not kill you. Not to worry

Barnabas Stone (Guy) slams his hammer down trying to get some quiet

[Miranda (Christina)] ((?????!!!!! WTF??)))

[Ilero (TMO)] (Happy days are here again...)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then tell me what you want. When you are ready to go, we go.

[Ilero (TMO)] (Kumbaya..)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] we need to leave now

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] They are not going to let us release this thing freely

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] did ye nae hear a word I said or were ye tae busy bickering

[Miranda (Christina)] ((You know this is role-play, right? :-/))

[Mathinder (Master)] Mathinder's assistant come running back

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] The warning will only bring people down to stop us

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (of course - but you have to watch how far you push branwyn)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she is in her own way quite as idealistic as Miranda)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] Branwyn get up off yer backside and get ready tae free the oracle

[Miranda (Christina)] (Okay, was scared there for a moment.)

Branwyn (Lisa) looks over at Barnabas "we are freeing the Oracle?"

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] me sighs

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] did ye nae haear a word i said?

[Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero doesn't do morality decisions. ;) If the group gets itself slaughtered, he'll be there with them)

Tristan Elaire (Eric) says a silent prayer to Cahus"forgive me if we're wrong"

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] LOL nope

[Miranda (Christina)] (Hahahaha.)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (They were in their own world there)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] free the bloody oracle and get us out of here

[Ilero (TMO)] (women with mouths open and ears closed.)

[Miranda (Christina)] (Too busy being scared that Lisa was pissed at me.)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] He's already sent a warning we're releaseing it

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] to the whole fucking town

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] can't imangine that will bring a warm welcome

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I missed that)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ((roflmao I noticed))

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] so get to it and lets get the hell out of this place before we get a city of strung out armed soldiers coming here

[Miranda (Christina)] (That's awesome.)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] lol

Branwyn (Lisa) beams happily "this will make up for my black dragon"

[Master] Abu Dhabi, Shurkural, Hoffman, Ilero, Brother Fotopoulos, Miranda, Barnabas Stone and Tristan Elaire moved 30'09".

[Master] Branwyn moved 13'08".

[Master] Indigo moved 9'09".

[Master] Mathinder moved 20'03".

[Master] Mathinder no longer targets Oracle.

[Ilero (TMO)] (I am just teasing, by the way. It's been interesting watcching, and Ilero would no more get in the middle than I would in real life. Releasing the dragon is less dangerous...)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 16'03".

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (catch up in the log tomorrow it was quite funny)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo moved 11'11".

[Miranda (Christina)] (LOL TMO)

[Abu Dhabi (Fritz)] Can I hide somewhere?

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Tristan Elaire moved 12'10".

[Master] so everyone gets in a circle

[Master] holds hands

[Master] to use the ring

[Master] how are you breaking the locks?

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Tristan Elaire moved 31'04".

[Ilero (TMO)] (sweaty palms and all)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (cantrip fire at it)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] I'll step between Miranda and Branwyn... DOn't think we have time to see who holds on top)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Tristan Elaire moved 4'11".

[Ilero (TMO)] (brave man)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (that was the closest to war this priest has seen in some time)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (i do have a fireball left but I think it's a bit excessive)

[Master] your choice

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] Oracle see that ye remember that not all humans will do ye harm

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] how long does it take to teleport. Instant?

[Master] yes

[Miranda (Christina)] (We're rather close, make sure you don't flambe us at the same time as the doors.)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] Then I'd say exceeive fits in perfectly

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that might actually be a good one though - would delay the escape of dragon with the fire but we would need to seriously back up)

[Master] Mathinder, Shurkural, Indigo, Hoffman, Ilero, Brother Fotopoulos, Miranda, Barnabas Stone, Tristan Elaire, Abu Dhabi and Branwyn moved 91'04".

[Master] 100 feet away

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (was there a vote or something while we were fighting?)

[Master] Oracle moved 24'04".

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (LOL)

[Miranda (Christina)] (Nope, I just think the guys were worried that we'd be eaten by cannibals by the time someone won the argument.)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (there was no argument)

[Master] grins

[Master] so fireball then teleport?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Branwyn just wanted to whisper to the dragon while everyone figured out what was happening)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ((nope barnabas decided to end the argument himself))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but Miranda went into attack branwyn mode)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] and yes bob

[Branwyn (Lisa)] anyway target frozen door cast and then teleport

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Fireball: I fire off a 20' radius ball of flame which deals ((9)d6) [9d6=4,6,4,2,3,4,2,5,2] 32 points of damage. Save vs spell for half damage.

[Master] QuiFon Ruminel moved 30'10".

[Master] Time of Day: 05:45 PM. Day 27 See ___ se, Fey {Mid Winter} 27th, 342 SKR.

[Master] you teleport and come out in the marshes along the banks of the Chandle Cowles river

[Miranda (Christina)] (I was perfectly fine keeping Miranda locked out, honest.)

[Master] there is a town on stilts not far away

[Ilero (TMO)] (no white dragon riding along, right?)

[Master] no white dragon in the vicinity

[Ilero (TMO)] (YAY!)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] yet...

[Master] you do notice it is much lighter here than there

[Master] as in earlier in the day

[Ilero (TMO)] (dopeslaps Tristan. Don't jinx it!)

[Miranda (Christina)] (Way far away.)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (were you holding hands with it? then it isn't coming :) )

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (lol)

[Master] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneewittchen

[Miranda (Christina)] (And it weighs more than 500lbs, so doesn't count as luggage.)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] we need tae get tae were we be going

[Master] and you are there

[Miranda (Christina)] Someone comes to pick up Mathinder?

[Master] Branwyn and Barnabas (and Indigo) would recognize Midturn

[Master] as the town there on stilts

Lisa is receiving the map Base Map...

Mathinder (Master) smiles you are very welcome

Tristan Elaire (Eric) orders a glass of milk and sits by the warm fire

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] Snowfoot what the bloody hell was the old dragon thinking?

[Sergent Snowfoot (Master)] Then that is all you need to worry about

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] if ye thgink that then ye are as daft as the old dragon is

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs "The more the merrier"

Branwyn (Lisa) downs her glass and asks for another

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] thank ye

Indigo (Lisa) sits down next to Branwyn and nudges her

[Indigo (Lisa)] So you're good now, right?

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] snowfoot tell the old dragon than he can go kiss the backside of an unwashed orc I

[Indigo (Lisa)] You lost a dragon and you saved a dragon.

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] Ill stay here were they at least care about more than just the bloody mission

[Indigo (Lisa)] There isn't any more you can do.

Branwyn (Lisa) nods "You're right, as usual, my trusty companion. I just wish it felt better than it does."

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Miranda (Christina)] (Miranda's busy crying into her cups in the corner.)

Indigo (Lisa) smiles at Branwyn, "things that work out don't always feel good. You know that. But you got to drop this save all the dragons thing. You're done."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Promise? Clean slate with the dragons.

[Master] Esmerelda XP award: 1000. Next level in 21114.

Branwyn (Lisa) nods and finishes the her drink

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I promise.

[Master] smiles

[Master] and so

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (just a past note - Bran felt so bad about losing the dragon she gave up healing for the last adventure and chose to bleed it out - so this was a big deal for her character)

[Tristan Elaire (Eric)] (well that certainly explains things :)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] ((yeah but some people need to pay a little closer attention to whats going on ;P ))

[Master] previous story, black dragon had surrendered to Branwyn, Sarengar and others killed it

[Ilero (TMO)] (I was there for that, right?)

[Master] and now is all back to full circle, yes to TMO

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry Guy)

[Master] so now

[Master] do you want to CLICK and be home for the start of next week?

[Master] or do you want to have encounters on the road home?

[Ilero (TMO)] so now someone needs to cast 'love thy neighbor' on our magelings.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (how many days to get home?)

[Master] two full travel days

[Ilero (TMO)] And I'd kinda like to get a few healings before we hit the road home.... please?

[Master] perhaps part of a third

[Master] depends on things

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (john is going to be horrified)

[Ilero (TMO)] you know, that whole '<50% hp' thing that some people worry about?

[Master] lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (my vote is click back and start next week with trainings and spells and so forth)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] hmm i wouldnt know about that lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (maybe Devin will be here and can figure out how to open that box he got from Regor)

[Ilero (TMO)] Branwyn is the only one close to it.

[Ilero (TMO)] although Shur isn't far off either. Apparently my chars got smacked around a bit.

Eric has left the game on Fri Jun 21 23:52:39 EDT 2013

[Miranda (Christina)] So what are we doing next week?

[Master] so is that a yes from everyone to CLICK and be home?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we will sleep at inn if we encounter back - will get sleep healing and the priests can get rid of their spells tonight and in the morning)

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] sure

[Ilero (TMO)] either is fine with me. I'll go with the majority

[Master] OK

[Christina] Yes

[Master] so then CLICK

[Master] and we are at Jistillie for next week

[Master] on the site can work out some things in advance

[Master] but plan on next week being charcters,

[Master] Klooge effects,

[Master] spells

[Master] etc

[Christina] Dare I ask if I can work the new character?

[Master] and setting up the next story arc

[Master] and yes to Christina

[Christina] YAY.

[Master] you will work on /finish your NPC to play

[Christina] !!!!!

[Master] so that everyone can see you with a new full character

[Christina] YAYAYAYAYAY

[Master] the next story arc is Bill's

[Master] with TMO's inserted in the middle of it

[Master] so we hope Bill is here

[Master] if we get to that by the end of the night

[Christina] I'll try to get my character portrait done before next session.

[Ilero (TMO)] TMO has a story arc?

[Ilero (TMO)] TMO is worried...

[Barnabas Stone (Guy)] lol hey bill can miss most of his like i did

[Master] this is the story to to after Androp's weapon mastery

[Master] lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] everyone does in this section

[Master] This Era every Player/Character gets their own story arc

[Ilero (TMO)] TMO stories are either very silly, or very tragic.

[Guy] unless you miss most of yours

[Master] This should be an interesting mixture then

[Master] but I have a plan for it

[Ilero (TMO)] is good to have a plan

[Master] will start in a couple of weeks of game time

[Ilero (TMO)] rough idea of when it will start?

[Master] you go off into the swamps to look for Androp's trainer

[Master] after you meet him, which traveling there will be dangerous and take a couple of sessions

[Master] then get back to Jistille

[Master] then find out what Ilero's mission is

[Master] then continue on ANdrops

[Ilero (TMO)] k. I'm out of town first 3 weeks of July

[Master] then do Ilero's

[Master] ok

[Master] no worries on that

[Branwyn (Lisa)] long trip! where are you going?

[Master] we will work around it

[Ilero (TMO)] does that fit into the schedule ok?

[Ilero (TMO)] good

[Guy] plenty of time for barnabas to get a nasty lettery from the old dragon lol

[Ilero (TMO)] 2 weeks outside Houston with my family, 1 week with in-laws in Cali.

[Ilero (TMO)] coincidence that they are back-to-back

[Master] they do have Internet in TX and CA

[Ilero (TMO)] with family

[Lisa] nice!

[Ilero (TMO)] specifically to spend time with family

[Master] well if you want to get all slobbery about it ;P

[Lisa] not going to travel 2000 miles and ignore them?

[Ilero (TMO)] I'd rather not, thanks.

[Master] grins

[Master] by the way your package should be there by Friday TMO

[Ilero (TMO)] keen. am curious

[Master] so we will know next week

[Master] and with that I am off

[Master] have a great night everyone

[Master] add thoughts on the site

[Ilero (TMO)] you've been off for a while now

[Guy] night all

[Master] about what to do

[Lisa] goodnight!

[Ilero (TMO)] g'nite!

Guy has left the game on Sat Jun 22 00:00:55 EDT 2013

Lisa has left the game on Sat Jun 22 00:00:55 EDT 2013

[Master] it will be a very different type of week next week

[Master] working on klooge type stuff, character issues, etc

[Ilero (TMO)] oh?

[Christina] Night

[Ilero (TMO)] ah

[Master] little adventuring most likely

Christina has left the game on Sat Jun 22 00:01:18 EDT 2013

[Ilero (TMO)] not sure if I'll be here or not

[Master] but we will solve some spell effects, etc

[Master] if you can look in great

[Ilero (TMO)] depends on if I'm leaving Friday evening or Saturday morning.

[Master] have a safe trip

[Ilero (TMO)] will do

TMO has left the game on Sat Jun 22 00:02:06 EDT 2013
