New Guy has received the map overview map.
[Master] Hello there sir
[New Guy] hello
[Master] Hey Lisa he came back
[New Guy] How's it going?
[New Guy] Said I would
[Master] life is good
[Master] grins
[Master] very glad for that
[Master] some people do get thrown off by Klooge for some reason
[Lisa] Or us
[Master] and others do very well with it
[Lisa] Hi! :)
[New Guy] heh well no problems there
[New Guy] unfortunately though, this week has been kind of hectic so I really didn't get a chance to look over much of anything ...
[Master] was there anything you wanted to practice or try out?
[Master] and see lisa he is a regular normal player already ;)
[Master] it has always been a teasing thing that people think I assign too much homework
[New Guy] I wanted to spend some time looking over all the information on your site but haven't been at the computer much.. close friend's mom had some major surgery this week so I spent most my free time helping out
[Master] that is a very good thing for you to do
BiBo!!! has joined the game on Fri Jun 22 19:00:22 EDT 2012
BiBo!!! is receiving the map overview map...
[Lisa] someone said I was normal?
[New Guy] well I try... anyway, I'll have some time over the next few weeks as I'm doing some traveling.
BiBo!!! has received the map overview map.
[BiBo!!!] it wasnt me
[Lisa] Hey marco :)
[Master] did you get video Marco?
[BiBo!!!] what video?
[Master] of the kids
[Master] or problem child
[BiBo!!!] oh. no. I dont have them for 2 weeks
[Master] ahh
[BiBo!!!] I dont go to that class often
[Master] do they have a summer break too?
[BiBo!!!] yep, starts in august
[Master] how many classes this time for you?
[BiBo!!!] generally 3-4 a day
[Master] Branwyn XP award: 500. Next level in 104986.
[Master] Llathandryll XP award: 500. Next level in 16850.
[BiBo!!!] just under the wire :)
[Master] Ok
[Master] so thoughts on what to try to accomplish this afternoon?
[Master] I am guessing that you want to get down into the cistern system at some point
[Master] and you seemed to indicate you want to try that at night
[BiBo!!!] yeah, we know theres the smugglers entrance to the north
[BiBo!!!] and in general night time is the time you want to be sneaking into places
[Master] one point to make on that, you have to leave the citadel somehow for that
[BiBo!!!] is there a problem with that?
TMO has joined the game on Fri Jun 22 19:06:56 EDT 2012
TMO is receiving the map overview map...
[Master] and as of now no one knows you are here becasue Ilero bribed that guard
[Master] speaking of
TMO has received the map overview map.
[BiBo!!!] well, is it overly difficult to get in and out? I am sure sneaky types should have little issue
[Lisa] of the citadel?
TMO appears in a cloud of roiling purplish cinnamon-scented smoke.
[Master] the only way you know for sure inside is through the customs district
[BiBo!!!] yeah
[Master] *coughs*
[Master] waves to clear the air
[Master] Branwyn needs to take notes on entrences
[Master] entrances
[Lisa] Branwyn needs to what?
[Master] look at TMO
[Lisa] or did you mean Lisa?
[Master] chuckles
[Master] so how to start?
[BiBo!!!] a shame that we dont know that branwyn is missing yet
[BiBo!!!] cuz we could sure use her to deal with the crazy monk
[BiBo!!!] of course she is probably his/her special guest now
[Lisa] considering that you have told Indigo that she may be disembowled it would not seem out of line that he would want to tell her
[TMO] I'm afraid I don't really recall where we left off last week. Had a plan been made for the day?
[Master] does the group ever make plans? or actually follow through on them?
[Lisa] Illero was with Koorin and just found out about smuggler's entrance
[BiBo!!!] yes, but we dont know where to look for her. as far as we know, she is just doing her things and we are supposed to meet her for dinner. maybe.
[TMO] *sigh* and here I hoped this group was different... ;)
[Master] lol
[Lisa] Llathandyll and Indigo and Androp are separate
[Lisa] we know where her hotel is
[Master] if you did not see on the Players Communication page, John is not expected in for hte next few weeks
[Lisa] :(
[BiBo!!!] because if we had her, she has polymorph other which could be used to return the guy to a girl potentially, which would make hir less grumpy, hopefully
[New Guy] I thought Androp and Indigo were separate.. Llanthandyll moved on to speak to the priests of cahus was it?
[Lisa] that ain't hapennin' any time soon
[Master] Androp and Indigo are in the square out front of the church to Cahus
[Lisa] he came out afterwards and told us about crazy priest
[Master] while Llath and Qui were inside exploring it again
[New Guy] yea we were sparring
[New Guy] ahh .. okay. Well Androp, if he didn't do too badly sparring, would be interested in spending time with Indigo and learning more about the Dragonslayer Company.. that was the name right?
[Master] yeap
[Master] and yes you actually hit Indigo
[Master] and you took a good blow from him also
[BiBo!!!] bob, would knowing that the priest disembowels mages be reasonable reason for our characters to want to go searching for Bran within his custody?
[BiBo!!!] and is bardic magic considered separate from wizards?
[Master] you would not want to be searching for her yet, but once you do not find her that will be a very logical thing to worry about
[Master] no
[Master] Bards are dabblers
[Master] a little bit of mage
[Master] a little bit of thief
[Master] etc
[BiBo!!!] I mean, for someone who is rounding up mages, would they group bards into that?
[Master] yes
[Master] you can guess they would be included in the net
[BiBo!!!] how about a priest whose god provides wizard spells?
[Master] unknown
[BiBo!!!] math mathonwy or whatever his name for example
[Master] just can't make a good guess on that one,
[TMO] so which group shall we do first? do either of them have a majority of the players in it, or 2 of each in both?
[Lisa] which group are we starting with?
[Lisa] :)
[Master] disliked because of mage? or disliked because different religion?
[Master] we can start with Indigo and Androp
[BiBo!!!] well, the theives I assume are waiting until night
[TMO] fight fight fight fight
[Lisa] (I was going to suggest TMO - you always make him go last)
[Master] in case Guy shows up later we can bring him back in
[Master] LOL
[Master] very well
[Master] is there anything that Ilero would like to explore in the afternoon before the dinner meeting?
[Lisa] (he probably went away since you pushed him back again
[Master] noooo
[Master] come back
[TMO] no, I'm here. :P just thinking
[TMO] it's painful, but I'm trying to push through the pain
[Master] chuckles
[TMO] I haven't quite gotten my brain into the role of the game yet, so ideas don't come easily to me yet.
[Master] is ok
[Master] we will just jump around a bit more tonight
[Indigo (Lisa)] (okay - I tried to let you go first)
[TMO] how about wandering through town, idly and innocently visiting the various wells for drinks of water, and using Observation to look for ladders?
[Master] ok
[TMO] appreciate it Lisa
[Master] let me double check my map
[Master] and as Ilero walks around he helps the occasional person with their well water
[Master] he does not spot any ladders
[Master] but make an observation check
[TMO] Ilero: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!
[Master] when you are in the Military district
[Master] you hear someone singing from underground
[TMO] that's by the white tear at the top center, right?
[Master] (sorry Adobe is acting up so having to reopen a bunch of files) and that is the area but south of that area, south of the large training area
[TMO] gotcha
[TMO] wow. took my 4 tries to write one word
[TMO] tempting to just go drop down that one well as soon as possible. What do y'all think? Good or bad idea? Plus is that anyone down below wouldn't be expecting it. Minus is people up top who see it would definitely notice
[Master] if you are asking me I would suggest finding someone who has been in the military district before to help with keeping watch
[BiBo!!!] could be the so called nymph or whatever it was
[TMO] anybody got an invisibility option Ilero could use?
[Master] Ilero is on the overview map next to the well
[Indigo (Lisa)] you got the pass phrase - you'll be fine
TMO is now controlling Ilero
[BiBo!!!] you have hide in shadows. that IS your invisibility option
[Indigo (Lisa)] (isn't Koorin still with Illero too?)
[BiBo!!!] yep
[TMO] heh. Get the new guy to start a fight with one of you others to attract the crowd's attention
[BiBo!!!] she too has hide in shadows
[TMO] then when they're all looking the other way, zing!
[TMO] or Heckat, our bard, to actually act out something horrific and attention-getting
[TMO] or pretend she's Meg Ryan in the diner in the middle of the street. ;)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Shall we have Indigo push you down the well?)
[TMO] that oughtta attract a lot of attention
[Master] make a reason check Ilero
[BiBo!!!] you could just use your hide in shadows skill to sneak down
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
[BiBo!!!] you dont need to be that elaborate
[TMO] He's not a monk. Falling uncontrollable down a well would probably involve lots of cranial contact with the rocks
[TMO] :)
[TMO] I will just pretend BiBo did NOT say that!! :P
[BiBo!!!] if someone asks what you are doing, say you dropped a wedding ring
[TMO] Simple plans!?! Pfah!
[BiBo!!!] and thieves have climb walls, so that should save you any falling injury
[BiBo!!!] use the skills you are born with silly :-P
[Indigo (Lisa)] (go for it)
[TMO] sounds like a consensus. Wait for a clear moment, with Koorin or someone else watching cover, and slip of the side. The boring, simple, way.
[TMO] :D
[Master] make a reason check first please
[TMO] Ilero: REA check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Master] ok
[TMO] I have no reason
[TMO] :)
[Master] sliding the cover over, Koorin brings up a bucket of water, Ilero quickly jumps onto the rope and drops back down with the bucket?
[Master] that sounds like what you want to do?
[BiBo!!!] sounds good enough
[BiBo!!!] using his stealthy skills to not be noticed
[BiBo!!!] if possible
[TMO] holding onto the other side of the rope to lower himself down, rather than make Koorin the halfling try to support that weight
[Master] nods
[Master] ok so a hide in shadows check, then a climb walls check
[Master] first to me only please
[TMO] Ilero: Hide in Shadows check:(d100) [1d100=94] 94 - ROLL FAILED against 45!!
[Master] ok
[TMO] AWESOME!
[Master] and the climb walls
[TMO] Ilero's Luck strikes againQ
[TMO] Ilero: Climb Walls check:(d100) [1d100=28] 28 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 80!!
[Master] very well done
[Master] reaction check for Koorin please
[BiBo!!!] plan B, we are lookin
[BiBo!!!] okies, one sec
[Indigo (Lisa)] (so you don't break your neck but everyone in town sees you - not bad)
[BiBo!!!] reaction would be.... dex?
[BiBo!!!] aim? balance?
[TMO] why no, officer, I did not just see a handsome and suave looking man jump over the side into the well. Why do you ask?
[Master] right balance
[BiBo!!!] Koorin: BAL check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
[Master] ok
[Master] so Ilero loiters near the well, Koorin happily comes up to get some water, Ilero jumps in, slides down the rope and with a SPLASH lands in the water below
[Master] a guard jerks around
[Guard #2 (Master)] Hey you!
[Guard #2 (Master)] what are you doing there?
[Guard #2 (Master)] that is the weapon storehouse
[Guard #2 (Master)] get away from there
Guard #2 (Master) walks over
[Guard #2 (Master)] slides the cover back on firmly
[Guard #2 (Master)] and shoos Koorin down the street
[BiBo!!!] "the well is the weapon storehouse?!"
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] the building she is standing next to
[TMO] Weapons of Water
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::is honestly confused::
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Sorry. I didnt know this was special weaponized water."
[Master] the guard shoos her up the street
[Master] back towards the citizen district where the shield wall inn is
[Master] in the mean time
[Master] can Ilero swim?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] like a rock
[TMO] of course he can't swim. Where's the challenge there? Sheesh.
[Master] chuckles
[Master] and NOW he has a burst of reason
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] climb walls
[Master] and understands that cisterns are full of water
[Master] he clings to the rope to stop from downing
[TMO] I was kinda hoping for a dry path to one side
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] hes gonna be there for a while
[TMO] after all, *someone* climbed out of here the other night.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (pitch black with cover on well?)
[Master] actually not this one
[TMO] I was assuming there was somewhere to go
[Master] and yes to LIsa
[Master] and yes to TMO
[Master] if you can swim there is an easy way to go, grins
[Indigo (Lisa)] (wasn't this the well with the guy singing down there?)
[Master] yes to lisa
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] can he use climb walls to move along the walls through the cistern?
[Master] yes climb walls will help with that
[Master] but a fail means he drops into the water
[TMO] my bad then. I was thinking it was the other one. No problem. If there is no opening, he starts climbing back up
[Indigo (Lisa)] (no!)
[Master] there is likely an opening
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] he wouldnt necessarily have to be out of the water. just use the walls to move himself along
[Master] but it is very dark right now
[Indigo (Lisa)] (don't let a little water and chance of drowning stop you)
[Master] that is the other (LOL) part of the reason, do you have any light source?
[TMO] (if there is no opening, there is no place else for him to go but up). Light source, lemme check
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] of course. the lightbulb above his head when he comes up with an idea
[Master] you do not know if there is any other openings because A - it is dark and B - you have not checked
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
[Master] laughs
[Indigo (Lisa)] (you could just call out to the singing guy to help you)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (say you were midning your own business and some halfling pushed you down the well)
[TMO] step 1, see if I can grab hold of the wall and get himself secured against waterbreathing spontaneity
[Master] you already have that
[Master] you made that check
[Master] you have the wall and the rope
[TMO] awesome.
[Master] unless one of them changes you are fine no need for a new check
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] tie the one end of the rope to your waist and explore the area a bit
[TMO] step 2, pull myself around the edges of the well, feeling for a ledge, step, stairs, ladder, pillow, wench, or whatever.
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] if you start drowning, pull yourself back with the rope
[TMO] is it something he can pull on?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] sure, the bucket would lock at the top I am sure
[TMO] or will pulling on it just pull it down into the water with him?
[Master] there is a bit of give in the rope
[Master] it is tied to the winch above
[TMO] if it's something that he can use to belay with or hold on to for safety, then he will bring it with him
[Master] the bucket at the end of the rope lets you move about the area here
[TMO] (I have had characters drown before, btw. ;) )
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] thats a start anyway
[Master] going around you think you are in a room about 15-20 feet across
[Master] and there is a possible opening to one side, but it is under water,
[Master] Ilero can make a wisdom check
[TMO] of course
[TMO] can he feel past it with his hand to check for air on the other side?
[Master] no
[TMO] k
[TMO] Ilero: WIS check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!
[TMO] woo!
[Master] not even sure the opening is there 100% but it is his best guess for how water fills up this room to be drawn up by the rope and bucket
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] define hot water
[TMO] is he in imminent danger of slipping and falling off the wall, or is he fairly secure that he can risk doing something with one hand?
[Master] yes he can do something with one hand
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] like, this is nice, a hot spring vacation hot water or oh my god I am going to be boiled alive hot water?
[TMO] okay, pull on his clawed gauntlets one hand at a time
[TMO] he can use that for a secure grip on the wall in the submerged opening
[TMO] if it's a submerged tunnel, not going to try it
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] by the lack of answer I am assuming the hot water is the nondangerous variety
[Master] what hot water Marco?
[TMO] but if it's just a wall and he can come up the other side, then it might be worth it. At least pulling himself down to reach up with one hand higher.
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] nevermind, misread
[Master] Ilero does his best but has to guess that it is a tunnel of some sort and not a wall,
[Indigo (Lisa)] (can you even lift the well cover from the inside?)
[TMO] am I making sense, or confusing blathering?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (you might have to hold your breath and hope any way)
[Master] A the wells have latches
[Master] B yes you make sense TMO
[TMO] Nice (sarcastically), and nice (not sarcastically)
[Master] C you will have to either chance the tunnel and hope like Lisa says
[Master] D wait for someone to draw more water
[Master] this being the military district someoen will eventually need more water
[TMO] well, climb walls + pick lock + hide in shadows
[TMO] I'm SURE Ilero won't fail any one of those critical rolls
[Indigo (Lisa)] (did Koorin leave entirely? is guard still standing there outside?)
[Master] Koorin did leave
[Master] to go down the block far enough to not draw further attention
[TMO] he has such a great track record of succeeding at important rolls.;)
[Master] no clue if the guard is still there
[Master] but Koorin might have gone back to tell Indigo what Ilero is doing
[Indigo (Lisa)] (if she went as far as shield wall she might happen to see Indigo)
[TMO] okay, we will try the tunnel first. Is it something he is even capable of trying? Some games have rules that if you don't know how to swim, you can't even attempt it.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (he's pretty comfortable in military district)
[Master] you are correct TMO if you do not have swimming you cannot attempt it
[Master] but because you have climb walls
[Master] you can actually pull your self along
[TMO] k, was just about to ask that.
[TMO] clawed gauntlets and climbing dagger will help
[Master] yes and yes
[TMO] hyperventilate to increase that massive con score he has, and go for it
[New Guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] Ok make your climb walls check first
[TMO] crud, had a good idea, but it requires rope.
[TMO] and unless I want to cut the bucket down, I don't have any
[Master] you have a dagger and there you go
[Master] chuckles
[TMO] yar, but it does kinda draw attention next time someone goes to use it. Buuutt.. they could just assume the rope broke, right?
[Master] you can hope they do
[TMO] haha. Might be worth it. How much rope does he think he can get if he does that?
[Master] maybe 50 feet?
[Master] depends on how high back up he climbs
[TMO] (btw, I have been playing a lot of Myst lately, so I am probably tending to think of things as puzzles to solve)
[Master] is a good way of looking at this
[Master] as you think
[Master] is Koorin going back to the shield wall inn?
[TMO] okay, using gauntlets and dagger, climb up about 40 feet, cut the rope, climb back down, wedge climbing dagger into wall securely, tie rope to the ring in the dagger's pommel and around his waist, so he has a lifeline to pull himself back along. Then use gauntlets to pull himself down the tunnel.
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] she is trying to figure out how to get back to llero
[Master] ok to both
[TMO] 40 feet is probably farther than he can pull himself underwater
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] she isnt gonna just leave him floating in a well if she can help it
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] especially since the top was latched shut
[Master] so taking deep breath
[Master] duck under water and pull your self along
[Master] make a climbing check
[TMO] Ilero: Climb Walls check:(d100) [1d100=60] 60 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 80!!
[TMO] with bonus from gauntlets, minus any circumstance penalties
[Master] 40 feet in the rope stops but there is still more tunnel
[TMO] crap. pull himself back as quickly as possible
[Master] you feel very confident in your abiltiy to move it is only a question of how much farther it is
[Master] ok
[Master] takes two rounds total out and back
[TMO] breathe and think for a bit
[TMO] that's it?
[Master] and a chance to catch his breath
[Master] yeap
[TMO] 1 round to go 40'?
[Master] nods
[Master] you had a good roll
[TMO] cool. how out of breath was he at that point?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] 1/3 con in rounds before checks right?
[Master] you can hold your breath for one third
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Swimming
[TMO] (btw, in real life, I nearly got trapped under a pool cover once, so there's a bit of real life over-caution at play here too)
[Master] there you go
[Master] when I was young I passed out and was floating out away from shore on a lake when they found me
[Master] before I learned to swim
[TMO] I was lifeguard certified at 9. :)
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] (The pool cover thing is scary. Seen that happen)
[TMO] never again since, of course
[Master] very nice
[TMO] (there was alcohol involved. ;) )
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] I dont remember a point of my life when I couldnt swim. I learned around the same time I learned to walk
[Master] and the quick breathing rule will be holing yoru breath for 4 rounds doing nothing, 2 rounds climbing
[Master] then con checks every round after that
[Master] fail and drown
[Master] how about we leave Ilero in the dark at the bottom of the well for now
[TMO] so, good roll and he can cover a lot of distance
[Master] and jump over to Indigo and Androp
[TMO] that works.
[Master] as they are sparing
[TMO] he'll be trying to psych himself up to go without the safety line
[Master] I am keeping track of how long he has been down there, Koorin going back, etc
[TMO] the dagger lets him just casually hang on the wall and rest and relax for a bit
[Master] exactly TMO
[Master] so Lisa?
Indigo (Lisa) brushes himdelf off a bit and looks at Androp "Nice hit back there. If you fought like that at the trial you certainly would have been accepted"
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) sighs and speaks with a hint of frustation, "Wasn't a fight. It was more of a demonstration... and it went badly"
[Indigo (Lisa)] Let's go back to the Inn I'm staying at. We can get a drink
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) grins and nods, "Sounds good."
Indigo (Lisa) nudges Androp "And there's gambling downstairs. You have some spare silver to spend?"
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] do I?
[Master] Indigo moved 76'08".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 72'11".
[Master] dark haired woman moved 108'04".
[Master (to New Guy only)] sure you have (2d6) [2d6=6,3] 9 sp
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) shrugs "Not as much as I'd like but I can play a few rounds."
[Master] Indigo moved 13'00".
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well if you win, you'll have even more. First ale is on me
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Thanks Indigo.
[dark haired woman (Master)] Hello
[dark haired woman (Master)] is there anything I can do with you, for you Mister Indigo?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hello! You can meet my new friend Androp
dark haired woman (Master) smiles at Androp
[Indigo (Lisa)] He might be staying with us
[dark haired woman (Master)] Hello Androp, you are welcome to stay
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) grins and nods in greeting to the dark haired woman
[dark haired woman (Master)] you are not from around here at all are you tall dark and handsome
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) shakes his head, "Uh.. no, I just arrived a few days ago from Rivers Bend"
[dark haired woman (Master)] oooo a sailor
[dark haired woman (Master)] I bet you are really good with knots
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) frowns and seems at a loss for words
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Uhh.. well I'm not a sailor... but I can tie a knot I suppose
[dark haired woman (Master)] I do love a man not afraid of committment
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) tilts his head with a frown of confusion, "Not sure why you'd need knots tied in an inn.. but I'd be willing to help if you need it"
[dark haired woman (Master)] well if I ever need to be tied up I will call you
[dark haired woman (Master)] what can I get you two handsom men
[Indigo (Lisa)] Awwww Save it for Illero. Androp is here to drink with me. Any action downstairs?
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) clears his throat and looks somewhere else as understanding dawns
[dark haired woman (Master)] TAPS indigo on the nose, I am monogamous in the confines of the season
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
[dark haired woman (Master)] and I doubt that there is anyone in the back rooms at this point in the afternoon, need to wait for the guard shift to change
[dark haired woman (Master)] but Yarly is at the bar, go on back
[Master] Indigo moved 63'08".
[Indigo (Lisa)] Sounds good. Come on Androp
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 58'05".
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] Hello Mister Indigo
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] a bit early for you today
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) still looks a little uncomfortable as he follows Indigo
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] want to make sure you get everyone's silver tonight? he says with a chuckle
[Indigo (Lisa)] We just got done sparing and are in need of a rest
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] a drink it is
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] ale or wine?
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Ale for myself, thanks
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well not all their silver. Just a bit
[Master] Yarly Barkeep moved 13'04".
[Master] Indigo moved 21'10".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 26'01".
Indigo (Lisa) pays for the drinks
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] (1 silver for simple ale)
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] (for both combined)
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Thanks Indigo. You've made my stay here much better than it started out.
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] sets down two large tankards
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] so you are a friend of Indigo's are you?
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] where do you hail from?
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) grabs up his tankard and raises it in thanks to Indigo before taking a swig from it
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *glances at Indigo and then back to the barkeep* I just met Indigo today and I'm originally from Rivers Bend"
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] bit far from your path then aren't you? not many ships out here
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] That would be true, there aren't many ships out here *grins and takes another swig from his tankard*
[Indigo (Lisa)] I should actually thank you for giving me some practice. I haven't fought anything or anyone since the scrags in Portown
[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] scrags?
[Indigo (Lisa)] sea things with big claws
[Indigo (Lisa)] nasty things. They regenerate if you don't cvompletely kill them and everything
[Indigo (Lisa)] And they aren't that easy to kill
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] sounds horrible
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *turns with eyebrows raised* Wow... impressive fighting them
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] refills both your tankards
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Was that work for your company?
Indigo (Lisa) slides Yarly another silver
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] (no need)
[Indigo (Lisa)] The scrags were a bit of a surprise but I think it was related
[Indigo (Lisa)] We are on a mission of sorts
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] You mean, you're still on it?
Indigo (Lisa) laughs "Doesn't really seem like it, does it?"
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] leaves pot of ale on counter
[Indigo (Lisa)] If you come with us to dinner, we'll tell you all about it."
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] Indigo I have to go fetch another cask
[Indigo (Lisa)] Thanks Yarly
[Master] Yarly Barkeep moved 19'08".
[Indigo (Lisa)] (how kind of him to leave us alone)
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] grins
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *chuckles* Drinking at an inn... thats the kinda work I could get used to.
[Indigo (Lisa)] We're in the reconnaisance stage at the moment
[Indigo (Lisa)] See, there's this fine lady from our Estates that we think has been kidnapped
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *looks surprised and is speechless for a moment* I ... I would love to have some dinner with you and whoever... and I'd be happy to help out, if I can"
[Indigo (Lisa)] and we have to find her
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] dragonslayer company is well known and impressive right? I mean, Androp would want to help out I'm guessing
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo is so bad at the top secret stuff)
[Yarly Barkeep (Master) (to New Guy only)] yes, good thought
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((apparently))
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *frowns and nods* Kidnapping... thats grim stuff
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] grins Indigo kept this a secret for a long time comparatively
[Indigo (Lisa)] (if androp tells anyone Indigo will just have to kill him)
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *takes another swig from his ale and glances about the room a moment* I'm happy to help... I'm just not sure what I can do to help.
[Indigo (Lisa)] But you need to meet Branwyn and everyone else and they will figure out some plan
[Indigo (Lisa)] Though probably not Branwyn. She doesn't like plans.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Sarengar and Illero and Llathandyll are much better with plans
[Indigo (Lisa)] So we are set? Where are you staying?
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *eyes widen a biit* Oh.. Sarengar is with you? Part of this.. um... reconnaisance effort?
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] where am I staying? heh not sure
[Indigo (Lisa)] He's supposed to be. It's kind of hard for him sometimes.
[Yarly Barkeep (Master) (to New Guy only)] no clue, perhaps you do not have a place
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
[Indigo (Lisa)] What with all the people asking him to sing all the time
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *nods and takes another drink*
Indigo (Lisa) tries to imitate a young gorl's voice "Oh sarengar! You are so wonderful! You must sing for me!"
[Indigo (Lisa)] I think he's a better sea ranger than a singer myself
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *chuckles and nods*
[Master] Time of Day: 02:48 PM. Day 14 Be ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 14th, 342 SKR.
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] as the afternoon whiles away nicely
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *shakes his head once* I'm ot staying anywhere at the moment. I was actually debating on whether staying here or heading out when you and your elf friend came into the tavern"
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] Koorin comes into the barroom looking around
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well if you want you can stay with us. We have a big suite upstairs. Plenty of room
[Indigo (Lisa)] We paid for the week so it will be no problem
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::rushes over to indigo::
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I lost him!"
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *looks surprised* Really? I... Thank you. *shakes his head and takes a drink from his ale*
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hello Koorin!
[Indigo (Lisa)] What did you lose?
[Ilero (TMO)] (lol. wonder how long it will take for the group to write Ilero off as drowned at the bottom of the well? :) )
[Master] grins
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "He was there and then the guard came and shut the top and now hes probably cold and drowning. Can he even swim?"
[Indigo (Lisa)] Who?
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *looks at the newcomer but keeps silent as the two halflings speak*
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Llero!!"
[Indigo (Lisa)] You didn't take Sarengar's otter did you?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Illero?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "No... otters can swim silly."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh. I've never seen Sarengar's otter in the water actually
[Master] lol
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Yes! HefelldownthewellandIdontknowwhathappenedtohimbutthewellislockedbytheguardandIcantgethimbackupandIamworriedbutIdontknowwhattodowehavetodosomethingquick!"
[Master] grins
[Indigo (Lisa)] You're not making any sense. Illero is in a well?
[Ilero (TMO)] (had to copy that into notepad to read it)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Thats what I said!"
[Indigo (Lisa)] Why did he go in a well before Branwyn could cast on him
[Indigo (Lisa)] I thought that's what we said last night
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Because she isnt around?"
[Indigo (Lisa)] We better get him out then.
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Anyway! It doesnt matter! We gotta go! But the guards are there!"
[Ilero (TMO)] Somebody go get Lassie!
Indigo (Lisa) calls out "Yarly! We shall see you later tonight"
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *glances between the two of them with a confused frown*
Indigo (Lisa) tosses a copper on the bar
[Master] Yarly Barkeep moved 11'04".
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((I would probably be lassie in this situation))
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] rolling a large cask
[Yarly Barkeep (Master)] sure thing Indigo
[Indigo (Lisa)] Take us back to the well
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *stands and nods thanks to the barkeep*
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::runs back to the well and points at the guards that shooed her away::
[Master] Time of Day: 03:16 PM. Day 14 Be ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 14th, 342 SKR.
Lisa is receiving the map overview map...
Lisa has received the map overview map.
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *follows the two halflings, a confused expression as he tails them*
[Master] Guard #2 moved 33'03".
[Guard #2 (Master)] Hello there, Indigo isn't it?
[Guard #2 (Master)] You were around here yesterday with Senior PRivate Olif
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes, Sr Private Olif has become a friend. He is a good man
[Guard #2 (Master)] grunts, he is decent for someone in charge
Guard #2 (Master) looks at Androp
[Guard #2 (Master)] hey, weren't you the guy this morning?
[Indigo (Lisa)] He takes his duties very seriously
[Guard #2 (Master)] the one that did that thing with the sword?
[Guard #2 (Master)] I've never seen anything like it
Guard #2 (Master) trying not to laugh
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *arches an eyebrow and then shakes his head* I don't think so.
[Guard #2 (Master)] yeah yeah
[Guard #2 (Master)] you were
[Guard #2 (Master)] coughs
[Guard #2 (Master)] well
[Guard #2 (Master)] what are you doing around here Indigo?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::taps her foot impatiently::
[Indigo (Lisa)] We're sorry to bother you but ...
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Koorin
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *frowns and sighs*
[Indigo (Lisa)] But I think our friend here might have lost something in the well over there
[Indigo (Lisa)] Mind if I take a look?
[Indigo (Lisa)] It's probably nothing.
[Guard #2 (Master)] well I suppose it would be ok
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Koorin again "You probably lost it in the market!"
[Guard #2 (Master)] just don't go in the building
[Guard #2 (Master)] the weapon master is feeling poorly
[Indigo (Lisa)] He is sick?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I KNOW I didnt.!"
[Guard #2 (Master)] asked me to guard the front door for him while he is indisposed
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'll just take a look to make her feel better and then we will be out of your way
[Master] and pause there
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *moves over to the guard, attempting to stand between him and the well*
[Master] jumping back to Ilero
Ilero (TMO) takes center stage
Ilero (TMO) blinks in confusion
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] to block his view of what they're doing.. make idle talk with him if possible
[Indigo (Lisa)] (please escape so Indigo find nothing in the well)
[Master (to New Guy only)] fully understand
[Master] so Ilero knows he can go at least one full round down the passage
[Master] could have gone more last time but ran out of rope
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] need to go afk a minute brb
[New Guy] I am away from the keyboard.
[Ilero (TMO)] k. while he's psyching himself up, try to wrap the rope around himself securely (don't want it to snag on anything). It may come in very useful later
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 3'10".
[Master] Indigo moved 13'04".
[Master] and TMO you have what you can see where you are :)
[New Guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Ilero (TMO)] black screen. makes sense. it's dark down here. :)
[Ilero (TMO)] at least it knows I'm Ilero now
[Master] so make a new climb walls check
[Ilero (TMO)] deep breath...
[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: Climb Walls check:(d100) [1d100=17] 17 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 80!!
[Master] Ok
[Master] so heading out
[Master] scoots along the walls of the tunnel trying to stay near the top
[Master] as far as he can tell
[Master] goes the first round
[Master] Ilero moved 101'08".
[Ilero (TMO)] yow
[Master] and suddenly there is no wall to climb
[Master] he looses his hold
[Master] make a con check
[Ilero (TMO)] PANIC!!
[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: CON check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!
[Master] Ilero moved 11'11".
[Master] Ilero flounders for a second then hits a wall and clings
[Master] he starts climbing again
[Master] and suddenly his head BREAKS the surface
[Master] and he takes a deep breath of clean air
[Master] still totally dark
[Master] but his head is above water now
[Master] clinging to the wall and breathing
[Ilero (TMO)] don't know if the dark is a good thing or not, but the air is WONDERFUL
[Master] and JUMP back to the surface
[Master] Indigo and Koorin pry off the cover of the well easily enough
[Master] observation check from either of them?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] dont have it
[Indigo (Lisa)] (nope)
[Master] ok then Intelligence check
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: INT check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!
[Master] Koorin?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] Koorin: INT check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!
[Master (to Lisa only)] Indigo notices there is no bucket in this well, only a short bit of rope
[Master (to BiBo!!! only)] koorin notices that there is no bucket in this well, only a short bit of rope
Indigo (Lisa) whispers to Koorin "Did you steal the bucket It's not here"
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::starts crying:: "NOT HERE!"
[Master (to TMO only)] nope you do not hear that
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *glances over his shoulder for a brief moment before returning to the guard and making idle talk*
[Indigo (Lisa)] Shhhh! The rope was either cut or broke. Maybe he fell to the bottom?"
Indigo (Lisa) debates on whether he is going to have to go down there
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::listens carefully:: "I dont hear anything! He probably drown!!!!!"
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "and its all my fault!!!" ::starts crying again::
[Indigo (Lisa)] How could it be your fault? You didn't push him down the well, did you?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well if anyone's going to go after him we'll have to use our own rope
[Guard #2 (Master)] did you find what you needed to Indigo?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I shoulda gotten him!!! I dont have any rope.... Llath probably does."
Indigo (Lisa) jerks his head up quickly
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummm.... not sure yet. It's a deep well down there
[Guard #2 (Master)] yeah they all go down to the cisterns
[Guard #2 (Master)] clear water comes in from the crystal river
[Guard #2 (Master)] there is a crew that goes through and cleans things up once in a while
[Guard #2 (Master)] lucky I never got on that detail
[Guard #2 (Master)] everyone emptying their chamber pots down there
[Guard #2 (Master)] must be a mess
[Indigo (Lisa)] Is there another way down there so we could look for some ... thing?
[Guard #2 (Master)] well there is the entrance in the academy
[Guard #2 (Master)] but I can't let you in there
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Can we climb down?"
[Guard #2 (Master)] you would have to ask someone higher up
[Guard #2 (Master)] climb down where?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::points at the well::
Guard #2 (Master) starts to walk over to look at the well
[Master] Guard #2 moved 4'06".
[Indigo (Lisa)] You can't really see much
Indigo (Lisa) stands in front of the well
[Indigo (Lisa)] Is Senior Private Olif around?
[Guard #2 (Master)] he is on duty till 18 bells
[Guard #2 (Master)] thinks for a moment
[Indigo (Lisa)] Where is he on duty?
[Guard #2 (Master)] 15 bells now?
[Guard #2 (Master)] obviously struggling with the math
[Guard #2 (Master)] three more bells I guess?
Guard #2 (Master) thinking
[Guard #2 (Master)] counting on his fingers
[Indigo (Lisa)] Sounds about right
[Guard #2 (Master)] it was 13 bells
[Guard #2 (Master)] then it was
[Guard #2 (Master)] hmm
[Indigo (Lisa)] But where is he?
[Guard #2 (Master)] yeah three more bells
[Guard #2 (Master)] Oh
[Guard #2 (Master)] I suppose he is up on the wall somewhere or in the baracks,
[Guard #2 (Master)] not sure actually
[Guard #2 (Master)] here if you are finished there
[Guard #2 (Master)] close it up properly
[Indigo (Lisa)] Could you get him for me?
Guard #2 (Master) moves to the lid to slide it in place
[Guard #2 (Master)] I am here at the armory, I can't leave
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'll do that. I think my friend wanted to look down some more
[Guard #2 (Master)] is she daft?
[Indigo (Lisa)] She lost something really important to her
[Guard #2 (Master)] likes looking in holes does she
[Guard #2 (Master)] a bit simple I guess
[Ilero (TMO)] (nah, we'll save that description for the guy who can't swim who jumped in on a whim)
[Guard #2 (Master)] what does she think she lost?
[Guard #2 (Master)] maybe the crown jewels?
[Guard #2 (Master)] (chuckles at TMO)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::looks around for a rock::
[Guard #2 (Master)] easy to find
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::casts light on it and chucks it into the well::
[Indigo (Lisa)] She lost her ... I think it was her necklace or earrings or something lady thing like that
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "ENGAGEMENT RING!!!"
[Master] rock drops down with a PLOP
[Master] no sign of Ilero at all
[Master] there is a bucket floating on the top of the water down near the bottom of the well
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "can we see in the water well enough?" ((rimshot))
Indigo (Lisa) afraid to look, hopes she didn't hit Illero in the head with the rock
[Master] the rock drops down into the water and rests on the bottom of the well
[Master] no sign of anyone or anything except the bucket
[Master] rouch hewn rocks around the edges
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Koorin, "See anything?"
[Indigo (Lisa)] Your ring?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::shakes her head sadly::
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well you would have seen it if you dropped it right?
Indigo (Lisa) looks over into the well
[Ilero (TMO)] (why couldn't she have thought of giving me that light before I went in in the first place???)
Indigo (Lisa) whispers to koorin "pretty good rock trick"
Androp Ilkep (New Guy) Stands to the side, arms folded, calmly observing
[Indigo (Lisa)] (can we see the tunnel entrance?)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((well, I wasnt expecting you to be stuck down there and only just remembered I had the spell))
[Guard #2 (Master)] (nope)
[Guard #2 (Master)] Ok
[Guard #2 (Master)] we need to move along now
[Ilero (TMO)] lol
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I guess."
[Guard #2 (Master)] if you get really desperate maybe tomorrow you can get someone to let you go down through the maintance passage
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::nods sadly::
[Indigo (Lisa)] Wouldn't it wash away by then?
[Master] shrugs
[Master] Time of Day: 03:52 PM. Day 14 Be ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 14th, 342 SKR.
[Master] so the well gets closed up
[Master] and you slowly walk back towards your Inn
[Indigo (Lisa)] Thanks for letting us look. May Saint Clig watch over you
[Master] good watch
Indigo (Lisa) as they walk back Indigo shakes his head
[Indigo (Lisa)] That can't have been the right well
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 148'02".
[Master] Indigo moved 156'06".
[Master] Koorin moved 152'04".
[Indigo (Lisa)] If Illero drown we would have seen his body floating there
[Indigo (Lisa)] He wouldn't have disappeared
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *glances around and then speaks in a low tone so not to be overheard* Um... why did one of your friends go down the well?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "But what do we do now?"
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "There was singing. He went to go see it."
[Master] Seperate Branwyn from the group - check
[Master] Seperate Ilero form the group - check
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *arches an eyebrow confused* "There was singing? From the well?"
[Indigo (Lisa)] Singing? Sarengar was in the well too?
[Master] lol
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I dont know." (did it sound like a girl?)
[Master] Koorin thinks it was male, likely human
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I suppose it could have been him, but I dont know."
[Indigo (Lisa)] People just don't disappear from wells. they are either there or they aren't. And he wasn't there.
[Indigo (Lisa)] So that was either the wrong well or he found some secret passage and escaped into the cistern system he was talking about finding
[Indigo (Lisa)] But since Illero can't swim....
[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno which is more likely
[Master] remember that people from Blackwater like to have death masks made of them
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] The guard did say that they all lead to the cistern so... your friend probably made it there
[Indigo (Lisa)] Even if he can't swim?
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *shrugs* "I don't know... That'd be... pretty hard to do if you can't swim I would imagine"
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe we should wait til dinner time and talk about it with everybody.
[Master] and Llath comes out of the church to find Indigo, Koorin and a stranger walking up towards the shield wall inn
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *nods and follows the two of them back to the inn*
Indigo (Lisa) slaps his forehead "But what about Llathandryll? We were supposed to talk to some priest that wanted to disembowel mages or some thing"
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "So, ready to go?"
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] met Llath last session I think... he wanted Androp to pretend to be in love with Sarengar
[Indigo (Lisa)] I think we have a problem
[Master (to New Guy only)] yes, but did not get to play out that he is an elf, the only elf you have ever seen, they are rare
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "another one?"
[Indigo (Lisa)] Koorin and Illero were out and Illero supposedly jumped in a well and now we can't find him
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] gotcha.. okay... will play that up some
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Great. Thats just what we need."
[Indigo (Lisa)] We looked in the well he was supposed to be in but he wasn't there
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Probably got himself picked up by the guard or something."
[Indigo (Lisa)] The rope was cut though so maybe he did something to climb in or out
[Ilero (TMO)] ooooo..... I will haunt you forever!
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't know where to look for him
[Master] Phantom of the Cisterns
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
[Ilero (TMO)] Where would I get one of those snazzy half-masks?
[Ilero (TMO)] and an opera cape
[Master] Sarengar
[Ilero (TMO)] k
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Well, we need to find Branwyn first. Llero will not likely be disemboweled for existing."
[Indigo (Lisa)] (LOL)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Guy really needs to come back and defend himself)
[Master] (and Bill, Guy does exist, no one knows where he is the last two weeks)
[Master] LOL
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] (heh.. okay)
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't know where Branwyn is. She said she wanted to go to the temple
[Indigo (Lisa)] maybe she's there
[Master] crickets
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Then lets go looking."
[Master] Time of Day: 04:18 PM. Day 14 Be ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 14th, 342 SKR.
[Master] your plan is to meet for dinner at 18 bells (6 pm)
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *quietly listens to the others, staring at the elf most of the time while trying not to appear to be doing so*
[Master] I put Heckat on the Overview map to see where you want to go
[Indigo (Lisa)] (I just see sarengar)
[Master] Heckat moved 56'08".
[Indigo (Lisa)] (ok)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((sorry I am distracted here. things a little chaotic))
[Master] you want to head towards the temple area?
[Master] or the resturant meeting place?
[Master] or?
[Master] feel free to debate, question, etc
[Ilero (TMO)] c;mon down! The weather's fine!
[Indigo (Lisa)] (I'm thinking just wait for dinner)
[Master] that is where he went down
[Master] Sarengar moved 207'10".
[Master] Sarengar is where dinner will be, Heckat is where you are now
[Ilero (TMO)] sure. not like I won't drown in 3 hours if I haven't drowned already. ;)
[Ilero (TMO)] (is suddenly feeling evil, for some reason.)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (as far as we know you aren't there to find)
[Master] that is the wel Ilero spotted someone coming out of last night
[Indigo (Lisa)] (and you took the rope so we can't go after you)
[Master] the church with the crypts underneath is right across from the Inn
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((seems I must go. good luck storming the castle))
[Master] have a good day Marco
BiBo!!! has left the game on Fri Jun 22 22:13:24 EDT 2012
[Indigo (Lisa)] (see you!)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (the characters with intelligence and knowledge of the smugglers cave thing are now gone)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (indigo is lovely but not sharpest tool in the shed)
[Master] we will do dinner next week
[Master] so that there is the chance for everyone to be there at least
[Ilero (TMO)] we calling it a night, or going on?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I think we should just wait for everyone to show up tonight. Unless you have a better idea Androp?
[Master] going on
[Master] just letting everyone talk out any ideas they have
[Ilero (TMO)] k. wasn't sure, being an hour behind y'all
[Master] grins
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *shakes his head* Um... no, I don't have a better idea.
[Master] still have to see what happens with Ilero before dinner
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *seems a little overwhelmed with what is going on*
[Ilero (TMO)] (I'm aiming to have him show up for it with everyone else. :D)
[Master] and you are two hours ahead of the others
[Indigo (Lisa)] Llathandryll is worried about this mage hating priest but he doesn't know Branwyn as well as I do
[Indigo (Lisa)] Branwyn won't let anyone take out her bowels or any other part of her
[Indigo (Lisa)] Like when everyone was saying Princess anastacia was kidnapped!
[Indigo (Lisa)] I knew that couldn't be true
[Indigo (Lisa)] She's too good a sword fighter to let somebody kidnap her
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Well.. thats good then. I think I overheard your friends talking to some priest about the one in charge that hates wizards... it would be tough in this place then.
[Indigo (Lisa)] I can't wait to tell her tonight. So Branwyn can laugh about it
[Indigo (Lisa)] She will probably want to go straight over to this priest and see him
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Why? *frowns* why would should do that?
[Indigo (Lisa)] To see what his problem is. She's not going to go hide all because of some priest
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Yea.. but... the guy runs the place, doesn't he?
[Indigo (Lisa)] The Count runs the place
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Okay, but this priest has to have somekind of power or influence if he can just take people off the street ... and they're never heard from again... pretty sure thats what that other priest told your friends.
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Why would she want to take a chance like that? I mean.. seems kidn of foolhardy... or really brave... can be the same thing sometimes I guess.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Besides, she's not just any mage. She is the Court Mage of the Jistelle Estates. It would cause a big problem with Lord Mosskin if someone just killed his Court Mage
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *shrugs and holds his hands up* OKay... I don't know... this kind of stuff is more than anything I've ever dealt with.
[Master (to New Guy only)] you would have no clue on the names Indigo is throwing out, all noble families from here in the Kingdom
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] gotcha... thanks
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't get it. We didn't become mercenaries to hide from things.
[Master] Has Ilero even been asked about becoming a mercenary?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well, we did avoid the ogres. But they were throwing boulders at us and it really wasn't a fair fight.
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] *opens his mouth as if to say something but then thinks better of it and stays quiet*
[Indigo (Lisa)] (think we started to but didn't pursue it fully)
[Ilero (TMO)] Has Ilero ever been asked about becoming a bath toy?
[Master] lol
[Master] so let us say that Androp and Indigo get cleaned up and head over to the Fat Merchant for dinner meeting
[Master] and we can jump back to the dark wet place where Ilero is
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy) (to Master only)] just to give you a heads up.. I probably won't make it next week or the following week. will be out of town for a couple weeks visiting family for the 4th
Ilero (TMO) quickly researches the Echolocation feat...
[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero has Night Vision, Direction Sense, and Alertness. Once his eyes have adjusted to the darkness, can he see any light sources or brighter patches in any direction?
[Master (to New Guy only)] not a problem at all, will be very funny in fact, Sarengar here when his fan is not, his fan here when Sarengar is not
[Ilero (TMO)] oh, and Observation, if that applies when you can't see anything
[Master] Ilero does not see anything after taking the time to adjust
[Master] but
[Master] make an observation check
[Master] and direction sense
[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!
[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: Direction Sense check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!
[Ilero (TMO)] Suh-WEET!
[Master] Ok
Ilero (TMO) happens to find a map of the cisterns in his pocket, in Braille, so he can use it in the dark
[Master] Ilero takes his time to think things through and understands he is in a large open space with air and an opening a bit farther over his head
[Master] this must be one of the main holding pools
[Master] he can hear waves lapping at the side of something
[Master] it might be a walkway
[Master] and a quick survey tells him that he is currently clinging to a pillar of some sort
[Master] he does a full circut of it and thinks it is over ten feet thick
[Ilero (TMO)] flat top, or keeps going upward?
[Master] keeps going on up
[Ilero (TMO)] k
[Master] must be holding up the streets above?
[Ilero (TMO)] secure grip on it?
[Master] yes
[Master] rough rock like the rest of the walls
[Ilero (TMO)] k. so he could climb upward if he wanted, but probably no point, just leads to a ceiling
[Master] right
[Ilero (TMO)] (might be a raised walkway though, but chances are slim)
[Ilero (TMO)] unwrap the rope from my waist
[Ilero (TMO)] (let me know if anything I try to do is something that would be a risk of falling in. He won't take any major risks of that)
[Master] ok
[Ilero (TMO)] can he tie the end of the rope through the ring on his climbing dagger?
[Master] no
[Ilero (TMO)] k
[Master] rope is too thick for that
[Master] this was meant to be up and down on a spindel for a bucket
[Master] not tied around small things
[Ilero (TMO)] the ring on the dagger is meant for rope, I thought
[Ilero (TMO)] no biggie though
[Master] it is for a climbing rope
[Ilero (TMO)] k
[Master] this is thicker and buklier
[Master] stronger too
[Master] more for pulling wagons, etc
[Ilero (TMO)] that's the problem with improv. things don't always cooperate
[Ilero (TMO)] same issue with his crampons?
[Ilero (TMO)] wait, are those the same as pitons, or are those the climbing things for your boots?
[Master] crampons are on boot
[Master] pitons you hammer into walls
[Ilero (TMO)] oh, well nevermind then
[Ilero (TMO)] was thinking to wrap the rope around a wrist so that about 10' is loose, then swing it out and about and try to feel if it hits anything. Had hoped for something metal on the end, but will take what I can get. Again, not going to risk throwing himself off the pillar

TMO is receiving the map Dungeon level first well explored...
TMO has received the map Dungeon level first well explored.
[Master] you can toss out ten feet of rope to get a feel
[Master] but you do not find anything but water
[Master] taking your time to move aorund the pillar
[Ilero (TMO)] about what I expected
[Master] around
[Indigo (Lisa)] (tis very dark where you are)
[Master] you can try that again in different areas
[Master] Ilero moved 14'02".
[Master] Ilero moved 10'04".
[Master] Ilero moved 4'04".
[Master] make another climb walls check
[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: Climb Walls check:(d100) [1d100=42] 42 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 80!!
[Master] very good
[Master] so after about 45 minutes of this move and toss, move and toss
[Ilero (TMO)] this keeps up, and I may have to change my opinion on his dice-rolling luck
[Master] you finally come to a spot where you toss the rope and it goes thunk
[Master] then splash
[Master] like it hit a wall or somethign that kept it up
[Master] then went splash back into the water
[Ilero (TMO)] k. cast again to make sure I have the direction down correct, then position myself so that pushing off the pillar will throw him in that direction.
[Ilero (TMO)] going to basically push off as hard as possible and coast to the wall (or whatever)
[Master] ok
[Master] make a strength check
[Master] unless you have jumping
[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: STR check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 9!!
[Ilero (TMO)] let me check
[Ilero (TMO)] tumbling
[Ilero (TMO)] :)
[Ilero (TMO)] cartwheel across the surface?
[Master] I will give you a tumbling check at a minus 4
[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: Tumbling check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!
[Master] to at least be sure you launch in the right direction
[Ilero (TMO)] drat!
[Master] and no
[Ilero (TMO)] well, this is going downhill fast...
[Master] so Ilero takes a deep breath and PUSHES out into the dark
[Master] thrashes a bit
[Master] make a climb walls check
[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: Climb Walls check:(d100) [1d100=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 80!!
[Master] wow
[Ilero (TMO)] ...
[Ilero (TMO)] can I climb the air now?
[Master] Ok,
Ilero (TMO) levitates out of the water in sheer terror...
[Master] I will say that Ilero shoves off, thrashes about and manages to hook onto a ledge and with his skill manages to latch onto it and cling to it to stop from drowning
[Master] Ilero moved 10'10".
[Master] after he gets a hold of himself
[Master] he throws an arm up onto the ledge to discover it is smooth
[Master] worked stone
[Master] Ilero moved 2'09".
[Master] he pulls himself up a bit
[Master] then slowly moves farther up out of the water
[Master] he is on a small ledge that marks the edge of a pool he can guess
[Master] and he finds a large dry flat area right next to the ledge
[Master] Ilero moved 4'10".
[Master] reaching around him there is no indication of any walls nearby
[Master] Time of Day: 04:33 PM. Day 14 Be ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 14th, 342 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 04:48 PM. Day 14 Be ___ tre, Lec {Early Summer} 14th, 342 SKR.
[Master] he can sit there and catch his breath
[Ilero (TMO)] and stop shaking
[Master] wow that was damn immpressive
[Master] drop down a well without swimming
[Master] and someone manage to surive to get back out of the water
[Ilero (TMO)] (he's easily impressed, isn't he?)
[Master] totally lost in the dungeons under the citadel
[Master] but still he did not drown
[Ilero (TMO)] I have them right where I wanted them!
[Master] and we call it a night there?
[Master] TMo you will be in next week?
[Master] Bill you will not?
[Ilero (TMO)] sounds fine to me. I will plot my exit route
[Master] chuckles
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Nope.. I'll be out of town.. spending time with my nieces and nephews most likely
[Ilero (TMO)] through the treasure room, of course
[Ilero (TMO)] I should be here, yes
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] The following Friday I'll be out as well... but then I'll be good every Friday from there on out
[Ilero (TMO)] we were going to be on vacation tonight and next week, but had to cancel
[Lisa] Sorry if I goaded you into jumping down a well
[Lisa] Felt bad
[Ilero (TMO)] lol. It's all good.
[TMO] it will help me get a better feel for the character. Sorry y'all had to just sit on the sidelines and watch him thrash about in the dark

[Lisa] I never played D&D before this and these are my first characters. I have this thought that we are on a grand adventure and we should do things like jump down wells and laugh in the face of killer priests
[TMO] hee
[Master] I would actually say Lisa is an experienced player at this point
[Master] it has been two years now
[Lisa] I feel like I am just floundering around still
[Master] points to TMO
[TMO] you flounder very well
[Lisa] Didn't know elves can see doors stuff - all that background info that comes in handy
[Lisa] thank you :)
[Lisa] anyway - just reel me back in if you think I am going to far
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] Yea but not knowing about the elves ability is good if you're not playing one
[TMO] I am having some issues myself, of a different sort
[TMO] my D&D group was mostly hack and slash
[Master] we move back and forth with that
[TMO] my text-based mmorpg was all rp, no dice
[TMO] I don't actually have that much practice doing both in one game
[Lisa] wow! you do exceedingly well
[Lisa] and sigh we haven't gotten to kill anything in forever
[Master] lol
[TMO] almost killed Ilero... :P
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] heh
[Lisa] lol
[Master] Lisa is the player whose Mage runs up to kill things with her dagger
[Master] now she has better spells to do it from a distance
[Master] John and Marco were horrified at her at first
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] well thats a good. most mages aren't made out to be front line fighters
[TMO] hehe, I bet
[Master] always involved in teh middle of combat
[Lisa] feel guilty lounging around in the background
[TMO] I tend to be second-line fighter or magicker, and come up with 'creative' solutions
[Master] it worked out well
[Androp Ilkep (New Guy)] going to get some dinner ... take care all and have a happy 4th. I'll be back in a few weeks
[Master] she is the only surviving charactter of the first
[Master] have a great night!
[TMO] cya
[Lisa] Have a great holiday! see you when you get back
[Master] I think things are moving along well
New Guy has left the game on Fri Jun 22 23:07:37 EDT 2012
[Lisa] see the rest of you next week :)
[Master] have a great week both of you
[TMO] yep. I'm still not sure if we'll find anything
Lisa has left the game on Fri Jun 22 23:08:05 EDT 2012
[TMO] we could just be up a blind alley
[Master] grins
[Master] but you will have fun doing it!
[TMO] in a dark, wet, cistern
[TMO] whee!
[TMO] I will be keeping an eye out for treasure, of course.
[TMO] muahaha
[Master] of course
[Master] have a great ngith sir
[TMO] you too
[TMO] thanks for the game
TMO has left the game on Fri Jun 22 23:09:45 EDT 2012
