Lisa is receiving the map TFS-med3 (1)...
[Master] Hello there
Lisa has received the map TFS-med3 (1).
[Master] TMO texted and he will be in also
[Master] another 5 or 10 minutes he said
[Lisa] Hello
[Lisa] what about Eric and John?
[Master] they did not replay to my text
[Master] nor did Mike
[Master] but there was a message from mike on my screen that he had a wedding rehersal to go to tonight
[Master] and that he sucked at letting people know things ahead of time
[Lisa] it was ahead of time :)
[Lisa] so did you want to do stuff if it's just me and tmo?
[Master] sure
[Master] you two could whip through half of the secret temple
[Lisa] lol
[Lisa] not if we are still doing the where are our horses thing
[Master] well we will see about finishing that up as quickly as possible
[Master] and moving on
[Lisa] ben is totally trying to rip us off
[Master] no
[Lisa] 159 gp for a wagon
[Master] actually a wagon wheel alone is 5 gp
[Master] so 20 just for the wheels
[Lisa] right
[Master] and only 125 for the wagon
[Master] the rest is the oxen
[Lisa] only
[Lisa] I don't want freaking oxen
[Lisa] I want my horses back
[Master] 15 GP for an ox
[Master] draft horse 200 gp
[Lisa] riding into widow washburn's with a pair of oxen
[Lisa] ;if that is the case no farmer would ever be able to afford a horse
[Master] unless they raise it themselves
[Lisa] doesn't make sense
[Lisa] farmer joe found a horse egg and decided to raise one himself?
[Lisa] you don't just get horses without already having horses
[Master] it is a community thing and a noble thing
[Master] most people have oxen to do the plowing etc
[Lisa] exactly - farmers are not nobles
[Master] and no farmers have horses in this area
[Master] which is why that one who found a horse in his field sold it right away
[Lisa] so how did yahoo Ben get the cash to pay the thieves 150 for the wagon?
[Master] he obviously did not pay them 125 gp
[Master] as he wants to sell it to you for that price
[Lisa] see? ripping indigo off
[Master] LOL
[Master] Indigo is a socialist?
[Master] I thought it was capitalism to make a profit
[Master] grins
[Lisa] indigo wants people to understand they they are dealing in stolen poperty and anyone who prfits from stolen property is no better than a thief himself
[Lisa] profits
[Lisa] if ben had built his own wagon he can sell t for whatever he wants to
[Master] the stolen goods issue is complicated to prove
[Lisa] and when has indigo ever been a right wing nutcase capitalism at all costs character anyway?
[Master] never
[Master] never
[Lisa] Dragonslayers are epitome of socialism
[Lisa] all loot goes in a pile and is handed out to those in need
[Master] this is very true
[Master] are you there?
[Lisa] who? me?
[Lisa] the one that has been talking no-stop?
[Master] my connections all reset
[Master] lost all my IM for a bit
[Master] but this stayed up
[Master] ahhh
[Master] my anti virus just updated
[Master] and wants to restart the computer
[Master] not going to let it
[Master] however
[Lisa] you can and I can log back in
[Master] no
[Lisa] it's just me
[Master] will take too long
[Master] can do it after we are done for the night
[Master] but for moving forward
[Master] Indigo can wait and complain to the major domo
[Lisa] would we have branded our horses or anything?
[Master] and hope that he takes Indigo's side and simply takes the wagon away from Ben
[Lisa] stuff on the saddles identifying us?
[Master] yes the horses would have the Jistille Estate brand on them
[Lisa] well then
[Master] not the saddles most likely
[Master] yes
[Master] think on that
[Lisa] but if the saddles were found on the horses....
[Master] you are going to go to the Major Domo for the Duke and tell him that the horses he is riding are stolen and you want them back
[Lisa] gee I have this great saddle, now if I could only steal a horse
[Lisa] yes
[Lisa] and tell him about the wagon
[Master] the wagon is more likely
[Lisa] and the bad guys need to give ben his money back
[Lisa] iI want the horses
[Lisa] as it is we have only found 4 of 7
[Master] it is a mess
[Lisa] no kidding
[Master] but you can still complete your mission
[Lisa] yes
[Lisa] but that does not mean that Indigo will just give up and not try to seek justice
[Master] oh no
[Master] not thinking that at all
[Lisa] he will do all he can
[Master] he would want to try
[Lisa] he isn't going to go home and say well we saw the horses and stuff but we didn't have the money so we walked 60 miles home
[Lisa] or whatever it is
[Lisa] here is a mule and a whellbarrow instead
[Lisa] they were cheap
[Master] I get that
[Lisa] it is interesting
[Lisa] thi is my adventure so of course this is what is happening
[Lisa] not sure you would have to deal with this if it was someone else's
[Master] 120 miles
[Lisa] oh what I put you through!
[Master] LOL
[Lisa] I thought it was over 100 but wasn't sure and didn't want to exaggerate
[Master] just wanted you to have an accurate number
[Lisa] thank you
[Master] that is 10 days of walking
[Lisa] I was putting the towns in my head along the path but wasn't sure I was getting the distance right
[Master] and half that with the horses
[Lisa] are the shovels in the wagon?
[Master] Ben did not say they were but you did not ask
[Lisa] true
[Lisa] there is time for that
[Lisa] ben can charge us 75 gp for a shovel
[Master] chuckles
[Lisa] doesn't appear anyone is coming
[Lisa] you should get rid of all those characters on the left bar that aren't here any more
[Master] such as?
[Lisa] Viridis Dubndragon
[Lisa] Cahus
[Lisa] Valedianna
[Lisa] Androp
[Lisa] oops
[Lisa] not val
[Master] Val is with the group in Eneemy
[Lisa] got that mixed with another Dee creation
[Lisa] sorry
[Master] but I hear you just a sec
[Lisa] Zeronnia I meant to say
[Master] did that help?
[Lisa] how hard is is to bring them back if needed?
[Master] not at all
[Lisa] how do I refresh?
[Master] but if they are still there then I will need to take one more step
[Lisa] nothing changed
[Lisa] all inactive are grayed but still visible
[Lisa] wow
[Lisa] okay
[Master] are they gone now?
[Lisa] yes
[Lisa] much shorter list
[Lisa] not so hard to find myself :)
[Master] smile
[Lisa] okay - checked Indigo's nwp
[Lisa] he has taken boating since you first created him
[Master] ok
[Lisa] he is 7th level
[Lisa] seems like he may be light 1 nwp?
[Master] let's walk through how many he should have
[Master] warrior starts at 3 and 1/3 so that would be 5 NWP
[Master] plus his Knowlege score is?
[Lisa] he had 6 and I gave him 1
[Lisa] KNO is 13
[Master] so that is 3
[Master] so that would be a total of 8 NWP spent so far
[Lisa] so he should have only had 5 at 1st level
[Master] and for WP he has 4 plus 1/3 for 6 WP
[Lisa] if he is supposed to have 8 nwp at 7th level he is short one
[Master] but he has 7 WP
[Lisa] this always gesm confused - he has used 7 slots for nwp
[Lisa] I really don't understand the wp for him
[Master] the problem is that he used (which is perfectly allowed) a Knowledge slot on Single Weapon Style
[Lisa] with the whole mastery thing
[Lisa] okay
[Master] he started with 4 WP slots
[Master] and spent 5 total in that upper chart
[Lisa] so if he used one nwp on a weapon and he is supposed to have 8 slots then he is even
[Master] right
[Lisa] okay
[Master] he is where he is supposed to be
[Master] until his Knowledge goes up
[Lisa] so will get another nwp at 9th level
[Lisa] does anyone'
[Master] and at 9th level
[Master] he will gain one NWP and one WP
[Master] stats only go up through magic
[Master] like Branwyn's intelligence
[Master] from her ring
[Master] or there are books to read that give you a boost, etc
[Lisa] indigo doesn't want any more weapons proficiencies
[Master] he can use them on NWPs
[Master] or get even better with his swords
[Lisa] I don't like the idea of people doing 4 million things
[Lisa] I like indigo's focus
[Master] nods
[Master] and you can also spend extra slots on what he knows
[Master] to be better at them
[Master] boating for example
[Master] or ship building
[Master] or Aerial Shipbuilding
[Lisa] he fixes boats, he rows boats, he swims when he falls out of boats
[Lisa] he has two swords and cn beat your ass with them
[Master] nods
[Lisa] he is pretty well set
[Master] and that is good because it is a long way to 9th level
[Master] now he can just be more comfortable
[Lisa] yup
TMO has joined the game on Fri Mar 07 22:49:15 EST 2014
TMO is receiving the map TFS-med3 (1)...
[Lisa] maybe we will teach him how to read at 9th level
[Master] smile
[Lisa] but he might not like that
TMO has received the map TFS-med3 (1).
[Lisa] it seems to be quite the taxing skill for some
[Master] chuckles
[TMO] sorry to be so late. having troubles getting the kids into bed
[TMO] they're STILL not in bed
[Master] I thought you advocated duct tape for that problem
[Lisa] If I could only have been a kid in yours or Eric's house!
[TMO] waiting on wife to get home
[Master] so she can hold them down while you tape them?
[TMO] took her an hour to go get some things for the nephew
[TMO] he's surprise spending the night, so didn't have his stuff
[Master] ahh
[TMO] and, as I expected, Shur can't read
[Master] so the ideas right now to move forward are?
[Master] if you solve this quickly you can be back on the road to the old mine path
[TMO] cart and mule?
[TMO] steal our stuff back?
[TMO] find the emergency flying carpet in Indigo's pack?
[Master] it is 7-8 miles back to that cross roads
[Master] that is half a days walking plus
[TMO] we could just walk it
[Master] LIsa has Indigo perfectly right in character
[Master] wanting to fix this injustice
[TMO] ok, brb - last step at putting them to bed
[Master] cloroform?
[Master] I want to make sure you are at a point where you want to be tonight
[Indigo (Lisa)] (not sure we will be there yet)
[Master] what do you want to try to accomplish?
[Master] lets jsut go forward with that
[Master] knowing what you know
[Indigo (Lisa)] (go to domo's office)
[Master] ok
[Master] so you go across the square to the stone building
[Master] it is all stone, there are iron bars on the windows
[Master] it is a simple square, two story tower
[Master] the front door is closed
[Master] large iron bound thick door
[Master] as Indigo and others approaches the door
[Master] a young man comes running up from the market off to your left
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo stabs him before he can reach the door)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (just kidding)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (he is running to us or to the building we are in front of?)
Young Man (Master) running up to you
[Young Man (Master)] I am sorry, the Major Domo is not in right now
[Young Man (Master)] did you have a message you wanted me to give him?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hello! And when will he be back?
Young Man (Master) eyes grow wide at Indigo's sigil
[Young Man (Master)] Sorry Sir, ....
[Young Man (Master)] Umm
[Young Man (Master)] Sir
[Indigo (Lisa)] Sir Indigo
[Young Man (Master)] I do not know when he will return
[Young Man (Master)] Sir Indigo
[Indigo (Lisa)] Are you his assistant?
[Young Man (Master)] SIR INDIGO@
[Young Man (Master)] bows
[Young Man (Master)] yes sir
[Young Man (Master)] that is to say I am the person who is supposed to take messages, etc
[Young Man (Master)] while he is not here
[Young Man (Master)] if any of his men return I will send them right away to find him and tell him you wish to speak with him Sir
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well, I wanted to report that the Major may have bought some horses that were stolen from us down the road a ways.
[Young Man (Master)] it is an honor to have you here Sir
[Indigo (Lisa)] Thank you.
[Young Man (Master)] stolen from you?
[Young Man (Master)] you?
[Young Man (Master)] you slew the hydra!
Indigo (Lisa) grins
[Young Man (Master)] you defeated an entire army of bullywugs
[Young Man (Master)] who would steal from you?
[Young Man (Master)] it must be some sort of mistake
[Indigo (Lisa)] Our night's watch were overtaken by the spells of a necromancer.
[Young Man (Master)] nasty things those necromancers are
[Young Man (Master)] aught to be outlawed
[TMO] (this evening never ends)
[TMO] (:D)
[TMO] (but, I am back)
[Young Man (Master)] they aught to burn them at the stake
[Young Man (Master)] like they do with witches
[Young Man (Master)] they deserve a good burning
Indigo (Lisa) looks up at the man in disbelief
[Young Man (Master)] any sign of the dark arts
[Young Man (Master)] I say burn them
[Indigo (Lisa)] I wouldn't go that far.
[Young Man (Master)] well you are a Queen's Knight Sir
[Indigo (Lisa)] But we do need our horses back.
[Young Man (Master)] I cannot promise anything Sir
[Young Man (Master)] where are you staying?
[Young Man (Master)] when the Major Domo returns I will come fetch you
[Young Man (Master)] but he might be gone for a couple of days
[Indigo (Lisa)] I heard that the Major is with two of the horse thieves right now
[Young Man (Master)] I never know when he will return
[Indigo (Lisa)] Where did he go?
[Young Man (Master)] he is out hunting bandits
[Indigo (Lisa)] He is WITH the bandits!
[Young Man (Master)] there was word of a gang of lizardmen
[Young Man (Master)] you know he cuaght he bandits?
[Young Man (Master)] how do you do that?
[Young Man (Master)] it that part of being a knight?
Indigo (Lisa) sighs
[Indigo (Lisa)] The men who brought him the horses are the ones that stole them from us
[Indigo (Lisa)] We cannot stay for days waiting for the Major to get back.
[Young Man (Master)] thinking that one through
[Young Man (Master)] I can tell him what you want Sir
[Young Man (Master)] do you want me to write it down?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes. Can I draw you what the Jistelle Estate marking is that will be on our horses.
[TMO] (heh. I was wondering why the conversation was lagging so badly. The window wasn't scrolling down. :D )
[Young Man (Master)] (chuckles)
[Young Man (Master)] I will include it in your letter to him
[Indigo (Lisa)] We got the horses from doing a service for the Queen and I need to get our horses back.
[Young Man (Master)] horses are very valuable
[Indigo (Lisa)] The thieves also sold our wagon to Ben.
[Young Man (Master)] and I imagine that a Knight's horse is even more
[Indigo (Lisa)] I need to get our wagon back as well.
[Young Man (Master)] what does a knight's wagon look like?
[Young Man (Master)] you mean like a carriage?
[Young Man (Master)] all fancy like?
[Indigo (Lisa)] It looks ... looks like a wagon.
[Young Man (Master)] I can talk to Ben
[Young Man (Master)] you say that he stole your wagon
[Indigo (Lisa)] No! It's not fancy. We are on an expedition not a tour.
[Young Man (Master)] I can talk him into giving it back
Shurkural (TMO) fights to keep a straight face.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummmm ... here's what I will do.
[Indigo (Lisa)] We must get back on the road but we will not be too far.
[Indigo (Lisa)] I will leave my representative here at the Inn and you and the Major can deal with her while I am away.
[Young Man (Master)] Yes Sir
[Indigo (Lisa)] Her name is Mistress Jilly of Jistelle Estates.
[Indigo (Lisa)] She will be staying at the Inn.
[Young Man (Master)] she is your mistress?
[Young Man (Master)] OH
[Young Man (Master)] I am sorry
[Young Man (Master)] I see now
[Indigo (Lisa)] NO!
[Young Man (Master)] that startled me sir
[Indigo (Lisa)] That is how you may address her.
[Young Man (Master)] I cannot imagine taking a woman out on an expedition
Shurkural (TMO) frowns.
[Young Man (Master)] it is very good for you to have her here
[Young Man (Master)] I will talk to the inn keeper
[Young Man (Master)] make sure tha tshe is well taken care of for you
[Indigo (Lisa)] And you will make sure that Ben does not sell that wagon to anyone else until we get back.
[Young Man (Master)] yes sir
[Young Man (Master)] I will tell the Major Domo all about it when he returns
[Young Man (Master)] if he catches those thieves you will have their heads
[Young Man (Master)] Thank you sir
[Young Man (Master)] have a good day sir
[Young Man (Master)] (Lisa texted her keyboard is acting up again)
[Shurkural (TMO)] (ok)
[Shurkural (TMO)] (I gave my wife my mouse, so we're even)
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think the Major will want to know he has a group of horses that were stolen from Jistelle with Lord Mosskin's brand on them.
[Indigo (Lisa)] I hope both you and he will help us.

[Young Man (Master)] Hello Jim
jimishaffer-99151 has left the game on Fri Mar 07 23:32:04 EST 2014
[Shurkural (TMO)] (random visitor, I assume?)
[Young Man (Master)] must be something I said
[Young Man (Master)] yeap
[Young Man (Master)] (and Lisa is typing in soemthign else then copy and pasting into here so it takes a bit)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (done for the moment)
[Master] so you want to head out of town?
[Master] you are leaving Jilly at the inn
[Indigo (Lisa)] (klooge zaps my keyboard for some reason)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (close chat history and now working better)
[Master] so anything else in town?
[Master] head back up the road towards the crossroads?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (okay - if this is scenario, we say Indigo explained everything to Jilly)
[Master] nods
[Indigo (Lisa)] (she is now mistress Jilly - too bad we cannot play all that out but hope she will be happy)
[Master] smile
[Master] and so anything else or just leave town
[Master] and then we call it a night?
[Master] can do the rest next time
[Indigo (Lisa)] (and since we arenn't buying anything back yet. Should we see about possible renting 1 mule and a cart for the trip?)
[Master] encounter on the road then decide if camping
[Master] yes you can do that
[Master] the young man will go with you
[Master] small cart and a mule
[Master] you can rent for a week
[Indigo (Lisa)] (what do you think tmo?)
[Shurkural (TMO)] (that sounds like the best short term solution)
[Master] it is 8 gp to buy the mule
[Master] or 1 gp to rent it for the week
[Indigo (Lisa)] (rent for the moment)
[Master] Ben promises to buy the mule back from you for 8 gp if you return it in the same condition
[Master] if you do not return it you will have to pay him the 8 gp
[Master] plus the 1 you paid for renting
[Indigo (Lisa)] (ok)
[Master] small two wheel card you can take on narrow tracks
[Master] for 1 GP
[Master] and it is yours
[Indigo (Lisa)] (sounds good)
[Master] so wrapping up
[Master] you are all set to head north
[Master] you have Jilly in town for you to deal with the law issues
[Indigo (Lisa)] (shovels?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (I am obsessed with my shovels)
[Master] he can sell you a couple of shovels
[Master] will have to look up a price
[Indigo (Lisa)] (I am so sad)
[Master] sorry
[Master] look it as he is coming out of the wilderness
[Indigo (Lisa)] (life happens)
[Master] beaten, bloddy, a mess
[Master] but clutching the shield
[Indigo (Lisa)] (riding an ass)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (sigh)
[Master] chuckles
[Shurkural (TMO)] (better than being one ;) )
[Master] OK
[Master] so lets shut this down for the night
[Master] and we will pick up on the road on the site
[Shurkural (TMO)] ok
[Master] or anything someoent thinks of
[Indigo (Lisa)] (indigo is next week too so will be good)
[Master] ok
[TMO] (oh god. wife is watching Hoarders in the next room)
[Master] sorry
[TMO] (me too)
[Master] I can leave this up for you
[Master] but I am going to walk the dogs and go to bed
[TMO] (not necessary)
[Master] but you can stay here all you want ;)
[Lisa] Goodnight! :)
