Kaz is receiving the map Farmhouse...
Kaz has received the map Farmhouse.
[Master] excelent
[Master] all settled in?
[Kaz] still making supper
[Master] ok
[Master] have a favor to try
[Kaz] just got home from work and had to get myself together so Guy could run out to work
[Kaz] okay
[Master] can I send you a new map
[Master] want to test
[Kaz] yes, of course
[Master] Lisa will be late, Guy will not be here, so we can wait to see about Mike, not sure if Marco will be in or not
[Kaz] Okay
BiBo!!! has joined the game on Fri Mar 11 18:58:04 EST 2011
BiBo!!! is receiving the map Farmhouse...
[Kaz] Yay, Marco!
BiBo!!! has received the map Farmhouse.
[Master] Welcome Marco, glad your net is working well enough to play
[Master] all the books back on the shelf at home now?
[BiBo!!!] oh nothing happened at home. it was like nothing happened. the biggest damage I had at home was my bottle of shampoo fell over in the bathroom. that was easy enough to pick up off the ground
[Master] wow
[Master] very nice
[Kaz] Oh noes! The shampoo fall down and go 'boom'!
[Master] and your kids families are all ok?
[BiBo!!!] well, I wasnt there to here it go boom
[Kaz] So, can I call you Marco, still, or do I need to start calling you Magic?
[BiBo!!!] and woo, more shaking
[Master] laughs
[Kaz] You still getting shocks?
[BiBo!!!] apparently
[Master] and I am trusting you to tell us if there is anything we can do to help your friends there
[BiBo!!!] well, we arent haiti. our buildings dont fall over just because you shake them ;)
[BiBo!!!] you can give me 333 xp though, thatll help a lot :-D
[Kaz] You shake hard enough and ANY building will fall.
[Master] Scarlet XP award: 500. Next level in 3095.
[Master] Kristelle XP award: 500. Next level in 19242.
[BiBo!!!] er, 500
[Master] why not 500
[Kaz] Oh, woo!! Only another 19k to level... *flop*
[Master] grins
[Master] but seriously I know the damage shoudl be minimal for you but in case there is something you need for the school, etc. just post a note, let us know
[BiBo!!!] well, japan has many earthquakes, and japanese are manaiacly obsessed with safety so japan is pretty prepared for this kind of stuff
[BiBo!!!] obivously this was a big one, but still, its really not as bad as the news makes it seem
[Kaz] If they were so maniacally obsessed with safety, they wouldn't live on a tiny island that has earthquakes.
[BiBo!!!] its not tiny at all
[Kaz] Oh, the media's gotta make everything worse. We all know that.
[BiBo!!!] just looks tiny next to china
[Kaz] The only thing that doesn't look tiny next to china is Russa... back when it was the USSR and claimed half of Europe.
[Kaz] *Russia... I can spell.
[BiBo!!!] its actually surprisingly large. I mean if you go from the north to south, you have weather conditions ranging from canada to the bahamas
[Kaz] nice
[Kaz] I'll take the Bahamas weather, please!
[Master] smiles
[BiBo!!!] then head to okinawa
[Master] thought your snow was almost gone Kaz?
[Master] Okinawa is nice, I liked it there
[Kaz] Snow is gone, yes. The sun actually made an appearance today, I was in shock!
[BiBo!!!] the weird thing here is we dont get snow in winter, we get it in the spring
[Master] it was cold here today dropped to 53 this morning
[Master] never made it above 70
[BiBo!!!] you are all like, hey, its getting warmer.... is that snow?
[Kaz] lol
[Kaz] No, no confusion at all!
[BiBo!!!] yeah, I think someone needs to inform tochigi's weather what season we are in
[BiBo!!!] because it is obviously mistaken
[Master] ok
[Master] so what are the plans for training
[BiBo!!!] I have no training to do, going to get my wafflemaker with a side trip for maple sap
[Master] Marco can I go with the idea that Scarlett will go with what ever group is going off to training? Kaz Miranda's spell training is the priority
[BiBo!!!] she'll catch up with them when shes done
[Master] it is along the route they are taking for the most part
[Master] Branwyn needs to stop by there too
[Master] and I did name the town finally Redfern Lake
[Kaz] Pretty
[BiBo!!!] then the side trip for maple sap will likely only separate her from the group for a day or two I guess
[Master] and Kaz?
[Master] Miranda spell level right?
[Kaz] Branwyn needs to stop in the town, too?
[Master] nods Bran is dropping off the dress
[BiBo!!!] what dress?
[Kaz] The dress for the giant
[Kaz] (who isn't a giant)
[Master] wedding dress from the zombie family
[Kaz] (who actually IS a giant)
[BiBo!!!] ... okay
[BiBo!!!] why didnt you drop it off before?
[Master] grins, you will have to explain that more Kaz
[Kaz] Because we weren't back in that direction
[BiBo!!!] thought we stopped at the town after the zombie house
[Kaz] He's at least part giant, but because giants are considered a bad thing there, no one would ever put forth the idea that he's a giant.
[BiBo!!!] I see
[BiBo!!!] apparently they recently discovered the cause of gigantism so they came up with a treatment for it. no more giants
[BiBo!!!] they surgically remove some gland that secretes too much growth hormone so you stop growing
[BiBo!!!] apparently it is a fairly prevalent "disease" in ireland
[Master] huh
[BiBo!!!] lots of people 7-8 foot tall
[Kaz] I've never heard that
[BiBo!!!] particularly from 6 different family lines
[BiBo!!!] well, by lots I mean that relatively
[BiBo!!!] its not like ireland is full of giants or anything
[Master] that is a rather specialized trivia
[Master] grins
[Master] too bad
[BiBo!!!] I imagine if everyone was giant, they wouldnt bother curing it
[BiBo!!!] just build things bigger
[Kaz] actually, they'd still want to cure it, I'd think.
[Kaz] It's very bad on the heart.
[Master] or run out of food
[Master] or englishmen
[Kaz] not to mention other possible medical issues
[BiBo!!!] lord knows ireland cant handle a shortage of potatoes
[BiBo!!!] you know, people in japan think that if americans eat bread for every single meal
[BiBo!!!] er, no if
[BiBo!!!] no idea why the if is there
[Master] well we are a starch heavy place
[BiBo!!!] they eat rice 3 times a day, pretty much every day and it is kind of their main course, so they assume that americans are the same with bread
[BiBo!!!] I mean, I eat bread, but its not anything like how japanese eat rice
[BiBo!!!] I can go days without eating bread
[BiBo!!!] well... I probably can go indefinately
[BiBo!!!] but sandwiches are just so easy to make
[Master] chuckles
[BiBo!!!] really its meat for me. if I dont have meat with my meal, it isnt a meal
[Kaz] Guy eats more bread than I do, and we certainly don't eat it every day.
[Kaz] Yeah, I lean more to the carnivore side of my nature
[Kaz] Roast beef? Rawr!
[Kaz] You go have toast. GIMME THE COW!!
[BiBo!!!] doesnt have to be a steak every time, but something has to die to feed me
[Master] chuckles
[BiBo!!!] actually, I eat more bread in japan than I ever did in the us
[BiBo!!!] it doesnt always have meat in it, and when it doesnt I feel like I have just been snacking
[BiBo!!!] though the japanese definition of bread is pretty loose
[Kaz] oh?
[BiBo!!!] its not uncommon to have a curry filled doughnut or a hotdog at a bakery
[Kaz] *blink*
[Kaz] curry filled doughnut?
[Kaz] OH, THE HUMANITY!!!
[BiBo!!!] its a lot better than it sounds
[BiBo!!!] in fact I didnt even think of it as one until someone mentioned it
[BiBo!!!] then I was like... you know you are right, it is kinda like a jelly doughnut minus the jelly and sugar coating and filled with curry
[Kaz] Sorry, I'm not a curry person.
[Kaz] Even though my tastes have changed so much since the last time I tried it...
[BiBo!!!] I didnt even know what curry was til I came to japan. now I eat it at least once a week, often more often
[Kaz] I had the real thing, and it seared the lining off my esophagus
[Master] I had sheesh kabob for dinner tonight
[Kaz] Ooh, be back in ten - my truck is here.
[Kaz] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] we found a great pakestani / indiean grocery near here
[BiBo!!!] oooh. kebab sandwiches are pretty fantastic
[Master] curries and indian foods are a staple here now
[Master] while we wait you want to roll for some of the potions and scrolls?
[BiBo!!!] sure
[BiBo!!!] what do you need me to roll?
[Master] which do you want to do first?
[BiBo!!!] scrolls since that is the most likely thing I might have use for (remote though it may be)
[Master] ok
[Master] then a d1000 please
[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=542] 542
[Master] and again please
[Master] working my way up from the bottom
[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=590] 590
[Master] and again please
[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=555] 555
[BiBo!!!] the randomizer is officially broke
[Master] chuckles
[Master] roll two more
[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=434] 434
[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=228] 228
[Master] than one last real one
[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=753] 753

[Master] OOPS

[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=17] 17
[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=264] 264
[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=957] 957
[Master] two more for scroll first
[Master] then 4 for potions
[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=341] 341
[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=826] 826
[Master] there we go
[Master] re-roll that last one please
[BiBo!!!] lol
[BiBo!!!] (d1000) [1d1000=906] 906
[Master] is a mess of psionics in that section
[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.
[Kaz] sorry, am back
[Master] no worries Kaz
[BiBo!!!] yay
[Master] you can roll a couple now
[Master] need three more d1000 fo rpotoins
[BiBo!!!] how many potions and scrolls do we HAVE?
[Kaz] okay
[Master] a bunch
[Kaz] (d100) [1d100=38] 38
[Kaz] (d100) [1d100=35] 35
[Master] 1000
[Kaz] (d100) [1d100=94] 94

[Kaz] doh
[Kaz] okay, re-rolling
[Kaz] (d1000) [1d1000=605] 605
[Kaz] (d1000) [1d1000=371] 371

[Kaz] (d1000) [1d1000=22] 22
[Master] reroll please you got a dupe of Marco's rolls
[Master] that would be no fun
[BiBo!!!] aww
[BiBo!!!] there goes our second bottle of mojo oil
[Kaz] dammit
[Kaz] (d1000) [1d1000=19] 19
[Kaz] (d1000) [1d1000=92] 92
[Master] ok
[Kaz] Bob, did you ever work up those gem sizes for me?
[Master] no
[Kaz] Also, the broach and clasp sizes
[Kaz] Okay
[Master] sorry just a sec checkign this last scroll
[Master] then will be able to
[Kaz] You gave me a general percentage for that first huge group of gems, way back when. I'd use it, but I can't remember what it was
[Master] sorry mostly organized now
[Master] have a list fo stuff for you to explore now at least
[Master] one of the scrolls we still need to work on
[BiBo!!!] woot
[Master] for the number of spells and levels
[Master] but that can wait till you open it
[Master] grins,
[Master] speaking of which how are you going to do that?
[BiBo!!!] um... unroll it?
[Master] waiting for your thief to check for traps? someone cast on them?
[Master] or just unroll them and hope for the best?
[Kaz] I thought he rolled for traps?
[BiBo!!!] its a scroll, how bad could the trap be? besides if it is a magical trap, he probably wont find it anyway
[Master] no he did not roll for traps
[Master] and the trap could just destroy the scroll
[Kaz] Miranda can cast Detect Traps
[BiBo!!!] then do thusly
[Kaz] so we would at least know if they were trapped.
[BiBo!!!] brb
[Miranda (Kaz)] Miranda casts a spell against : Find Traps: For 3 turns I can detect traps in a 10'x90' path in front of me.
[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] and yes
[Master] two fo them are trapped
Miranda (Kaz) takes the two trapped scrolls and puts them aside for Foriso to deal with.
Lisa has joined the game on Fri Mar 11 20:08:12 EST 2011
Lisa is receiving the map Farmhouse...
[Kaz] Hey Lisa!!
[Master] one of them came from the Priest's Office
Lisa has received the map Farmhouse.
[Master] the other came from the remains of the Shambling Mound
[Master] and welcome Lisa
[Kaz] Okay, so, how many are untrapped?
[Master] one scroll case from the Shambling Mound is there
[Master] and six from the Chast Lair in the church
[BiBo!!!] whats a chast?
[Master] Ghast
[BiBo!!!] oh
[BiBo!!!] well, lets get opening then
[BiBo!!!] non trapped ones of course
[Lisa] Hello! So glad you are okay Marco. Was worried this morning
[BiBo!!!] nothing happened to my place at all. you wouldnt know an earthquake happened at all
[Lisa] and no tsunami blew you away - that is good too
[BiBo!!!] and theres another quake, wooo
[BiBo!!!] yeah, I am land locked
[Master] smiles
[BiBo!!!] and I can swim
[Lisa] one guy from CA got lost in tsunami - crazy stuff
[Lisa] I mean he was physically in California when tsunami hit and washed him away
[BiBo!!!] I assumed as much
[Master] nods, did not think the waves from Japan were that fast
[Master] or that was a hell of a surfer
[Kaz] brb
[Lisa] and heard Japan is now 8 feet closer to california
[Master] wow
[BiBo!!!] well, the earthquake happened like.... 20 hours ago
[Master] Ok, so on other topics,
[Lisa] sorry
[BiBo!!!] whatd we get!
[Master] grins, is ok Lisa
[Master] it is a big thing to talk about
[Master] the first "scroll case" is actually a set of two long wodden boxes
[Master] and as you open them up you find four scrolls in side of each box
[Master] each scroll has ornate teak spools with gems and brass work on the ends
[Master] anyone want to make a guess as to where they are from?
[BiBo!!!] which will no doubt be worthless as soon as we read them
[BiBo!!!] middle east?
[Master] no, how about an Intuition check
[Master] from Scarlett and Branwyn
[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Class Levels - Character Level: (L) : CHANGED: 7 (6). Wizard: (WL) : CHANGED: 7 (6).
[BiBo!!!] not knowledge?
[Lisa] Branwyn: INU check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!
[BiBo!!!] Scarlet: INU check: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 7!!
[Master] Ok, you both realize that these are not mage or priest scrolls
[BiBo!!!] are they magic?
[Master] they are magical
[BiBo!!!] so protection scrolls?
[Master] long silk rolls as you undo them
[Master] and you can tell they come from the far east, some where in Kara Tur
[BiBo!!!] okay, so far east
[BiBo!!!] was gonna be my next guess
[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Combat - Melee THAC0: (THAC0) : CHANGED: 18 (19). Personal Information - Next Level:: CHANGED: 90,000 (60,000).
[Master] they must be Wu Jen scrolls or something
[Master] but you obviously can not be sure until you find someone who can read that language
[BiBo!!!] so, how much you think we can get for them if we sell them?
[Master] you can guess that taken such good care of they must be worth thousands to the right person
[Kaz] sorry, back
[Lisa] so you need some special proficiency for eastern languages?
[BiBo!!!] excellent. time to find the right person
[Lisa] lol
[BiBo!!!] yeah. you get one language for free
[BiBo!!!] other languages you have to pay for
[Master] you pick up the other odd shaped case
[Master] is flat
[Lisa] Indigo has languages but I never understand which ones he knows
[Lisa] or how I am supposed to know which ones he knows
[BiBo!!!] you choose when you take the proficiency
[Master] W Comm is what everyone in the group knows
[Lisa] I didn't take it
[Master] and Bran took that for reading and writing
[BiBo!!!] if you didnt take the proficiency then you probably only know western common
[Master] E Comm woudl be the langauge from Kara Tur
[Lisa] okay - always confused about that thing
[Master] Indigo knows both Hin (the halfling language) and W Comm (the human language from this area)
[Lisa] so flat box
[Master] flat box just over one foot per side, is square
[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.
[BiBo!!!] its THAT flat?
[Master] it has hinges on the sides, and a tie
[Master] it is about 2 to 3 inches tall, and just over 12 by 12 on the sides
[Master] the reason you look at it now is that the workmanship is similar to the other boxes the other scrolls were in
[BiBo!!!] probably some apprentice mage's thesis
[BiBo!!!] any markings of note?
[Master] you can make the guess that this is from the same area as teh other
[BiBo!!!] aka kara tur?
[Master] yes
[BiBo!!!] then probably origami paper
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
[BiBo!!!] really big origami paper
[Master] magical origami paper
[Kaz] lol
[BiBo!!!] is it actually magical origami paper?
[Master] smile as you open the covers you see a small stack of sheets of colored paper
[Master] a dozen sheets inside
[BiBo!!!] this is at least the second time we have gotten magical origami paper. who is manufacturing all this magical origami paper and shipping it out west?
[Master] laughs
[Master] before you were in the Island Kingdoms, with the traders, this is a bit more unusual of a find here
[BiBo!!!] well, we will put it in the pile of "sell to the right buyer"
[Master] you have four remaining scrolls not in cases, and one more in a case
[BiBo!!!] unless someone wants to roll up a wujen with the origami proficiency specifically to use these scrolls
[BiBo!!!] open the case!
[Master] it is a soft leather like tube, obviously water tight
[BiBo!!!] sweet. save the case
[BiBo!!!] does it seal easily or requires some sort of wax something or another?
[Master] it seems to have some sort of rubber gasket of some type but you have never seen its like before
[BiBo!!!] excellent, save the case
[BiBo!!!] :: pop ::
[Master] and after opening it you find
[Master] need a d6 please
[BiBo!!!] (d6) [1d6=6] 6
[Master] ok
[Master] are we doing this the next morning?
[BiBo!!!] sure
[Master] where one of the mages has read magic?
[BiBo!!!] was late before
[Master] just checking
[BiBo!!!] yeah, presumably
[BiBo!!!] we know we are gonna be checking scrolls, so would have those handy
[Master] so you find that this is a scroll of 6 Sea spells, spells from the elemental school of the Sea, something from Al-Qadim
[BiBo!!!] which we cant learn?
[Master] sure you can
[Master] just like any spell
[BiBo!!!] well -I- cant
[Master] they are just very rare
[Master] ahh that is true, you do not like water
[Master] hate taking baths and all that
[Master] but Branwyn can add it to her library
[Kaz] cool
[BiBo!!!] fine with baths, but has to be really hot
[Master] Kaz you are taking notes?
[Master] we will roll out the specific spells later
[Master] so four other scrolls
[Master] not in cases
[Kaz] Yes, I am taking notes. Is why I'm quiet.
[Master] they each have a tie on them to keep them closed
[Master] but no other protections
[Master] so openign the next one?
[BiBo!!!] open sesame!
[Master] protection from Lycanthropes
[Master] next one is Protection from Paralyzation
[Master] next one is Protection from Magic
[Master] and finally there is a scroll with one spell on it, Fireball
[BiBo!!!] dibs on fireball
[Master] Ok
[BiBo!!!] anyone against scarlet taking the fireball scroll?
[Master] so you have 6 poitions left
[Master] if you want to experiment with those now
[Lisa] nope
[Kaz] *gasp*
[Kaz] LISA doesn't want to experiment with potions?
[Kaz] *swoon*
[BiBo!!!] k, putting it on her sheet then
[BiBo!!!] think she was referring to the scroll ;)
[Lisa] I meant nope I don't care about the scroll
[Kaz] Ah, okay
[Lisa] lol
[Kaz] lol
[Kaz] I was gonna say... WHO are you and what have you done with Lisa?
[Lisa] I came in late so was letting you guys do all this stuff
[Master] Scarlet XP award: 300. Next level in 2795.
[Kaz] Doesn't matter, you're here now.
[Kaz] Kristelle will muddle through with Branwyn, just like we always do :)
[Kaz] Okay, so Kristelle picks up a bottle (phial, whatever) and looks at it.
[BiBo!!! (to GM only)] Character sheet for Scarlet modified: Consumable Magic Items - ADDED: Scroll of fireball, 20 ft fireball blows stuff up for {($L)d6} points of damage. , 1, 1. Personal Information - Experience:: CHANGED: 16905 (17205).
[Master] a yellowish crystal vial, looks like a small sand storm is happening in side of it
[BiBo!!!] do you.... eat it?
[BiBo!!!] or release it?
[Kaz] Hell to the no.
[Kaz] she tilts the vial a little to see what happens inside
[Master] seems "liquidy" inside but lots of swirling around of currents, and glints of some sort of particles
[BiBo!!!] well.... probably not poison
[Master] LOL love that , what makes you think that?
[BiBo!!!] who would make a swirly poison? thats just plain silly
[Master] will make a note of that ;)
[BiBo!!!] course that doesnt mean it wont kill you, just that its not poison
[Kaz] As a player, I'm wondering if it comes from Al-Qadim also. As a character, I show it to Branwyn so she can see how interesting it is.
[BiBo!!!] seems we apparently raided a merchant caravan from way out of their way
[Lisa] (she would just open it - sure you wanna do that?)
[BiBo!!!] no local treasure at all
[Master] some of these things are from the inside of the Shambling Mound you killed
[Master] and yes to Kaz it is from the same batch of items inside that Mound that the other scroll from Al-Qadim was from
[Kaz] I figured when you said it looked like a small sandstorm inside
[Master] not saying this is from there, just confirming your thought is a valid one
[BiBo!!!] apparently we need to go to al-qadim to get normal treasure
[Kaz] lol
[Master] so setting it aside? or tasting?
[Master] or?
[BiBo!!!] taste it
[BiBo!!!] if it turns you into a djinni we will make a wish
[Kaz] Kristelle thinks it looks really cool and wants Branwyn to see it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol - chicken!)
[Kaz] Didn't say I wouldn't open it, but she's never seen the like before. Wouldn't you show off something unusual?
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at it and smiles, "I like it too. Wonder what is does."
Kristelle (Kaz) shrugs.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Only one way to find out.
Kristelle (Kaz) carefully unstoppers the vial.
[Master] she takes a small sip
[Master] and COUGHS
[Master] spitting out sand
[Master] and (1d20) [1d20=14] 14
[Master] ooops
Kristelle (Kaz) spits sand out onto the table
[Master] cracking the table with the force of her spit
[Kristelle (Kaz)] OH!
Kristelle (Kaz) coughs again.
[Master] is like she just spit a sand storm at the table
[Master] the effect is over
[Branwyn (Lisa)] that's some potion!
[Kristelle (Kaz)] I think I could use a drink.
[BiBo!!!] so... are you not supposed to drink it?
Kristelle (Kaz) stoppers the potion back up.
[Master] Intuition checks
[BiBo!!!] more shake it up and let it go like a well shaken soda?
[BiBo!!!] Scarlet: INU check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL FAILED against 7!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] guess it depends how far Kristelle can spit
[Master] Kristelle and Branwyn?
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Kristelle: INU check: (d20) [1d20=19] 19 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: INU check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Miranda: INU check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!
[Master] branwyn and Miranda look at each other and shudder
[Master] Dragon's breath!
[Master] like the fire that you both were bathed in in your first battle
[Master] this is a potion of Yellow Dragon's Breath
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((WOW))
[Master] one drink in it, one chance to use that breath weapon
[Master] anyone can do it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (great potion)
Branwyn (Lisa) picks up the next vial and takes a look
[Master] it is a large crystal box
[Master] big enough to open and stick a finger tip inside of
[Master] it is a bluish white crystal, with some sort of thick liquid inside
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is it an oil?)
[Master] and on the top of the lid there is a word inscribed, ICE
[BiBo!!!] white dragon's breath!
[Kristelle (Kaz)] lol
[BiBo!!!] what happens if you say ice?
Branwyn (Lisa) opens box and sticks finger in to see if it is an oil or not
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Widow Washburn chips some off the block into a glass and brings it in for you))
[BiBo!!!] excellent
[Master] Branwyn opens the latch and inside is a thick salve, bluish white like the crystal is,
[Master] like make up
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think I want to freeze me. Maybe I should try it on the table or something.
Branwyn (Lisa) stick finger in a puts a tiny bit on the surface of the table
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (watch I freeze my finger to the table)
[BiBo!!!] probably resists cold
[Master] nothign happens,
[BiBo!!!] rub it on, cold attacks dont hurt you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] okay
[BiBo!!!] probably dont have any sort of cold things to test with, but I am willing to be that is it
[BiBo!!!] bet
[Branwyn (Lisa)] too bad - would be more useful to freeze something than wait for an arctic adventure
[Branwyn (Lisa)] next
[Master] chuckles,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] want the next one?
[BiBo!!!] sure, Ill do it
[Master] I will point out that you have at least one potion right now you can not use because you are in The Mist
[BiBo!!!] scrying sort of things dont work
[Master] not saying that applies to this set also, just pointing out that there are things that only work in certain circumstances
[Master] or get blocked, etc
[Branwyn (Lisa)] a new one that doesn't work? we know we have the skin one that doesn;t work
[Master] just so you can make a note of those items you get stuck on
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] :: takes the next one ::
[Master] picks up a glass flask with an oil in it, you can see the liquid through the flask
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "I like oil. Oils burn well." :: pours out a drop on her hand ::
[Master] a ring that Scarlett has on suddenly rusts and falls off
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I have a ring on?
[Master] non magical ring
[Master] small bit of metal
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "awww... that was my favorite ring I didnt know about."
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((ROFL))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Guest its rust monster essence"
Kristelle (Kaz) raises an eyebrow. "Best close that up for now."
[Master] Oil of Metal Fatigue
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I like rust monster essence better
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((HEHE))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] can we call it rust monster essence instead?
[Master] that is a component of it
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] okay, into the pack with the metal rotting potion
Kristelle (Kaz) reaches out for the next potion container.
[Master] a small metal stoppered vial
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((metal vial?))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] metal stopper
[Master] nods
[Master] metal vial with a rubber stopper
Kristelle (Kaz) unstoppers the vial and carefully sniffs.
[Master] no odor
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] must be poison
Kristelle (Kaz) covers the opening with her finger, then tilts the vial a bit.
[Master] no effect
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] definately poison
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((what kind of liquid ends up on her finger?))
[Master] some sort of oil
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] oh. then its just water based lubricant
Kristelle (Kaz) rubs the bit of oil off onto her clothing and shrugs.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] thats not where you rub it
[Master] Kristelle notices that one of her buttons just came undone
[Kristelle (Kaz)] EEP!
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] lol
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] either it is a potion of theivery or lechery
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] either way, probably should go to foriso
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Foriso, the lecher thief))
[Master] grins
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((did the button just come out of the buttonhole, or did the thread come undone?))
[Master] came out of the button hole
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((some kind of unlocking, perhaps?))
[Master] I will give you that, Oil of Unlocking
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] okay, so definately to foriso
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he can open his own locks - shouldn't we save in case Kristelle or Miranda get in a bind or something?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (or am I not getting how these things get distributed?)
[Master] both are valid points,
[Master] give it to Kristelle becasue she can not open locks
[Master] or give it to the thief who can use if if he fails his checks
[Master] or put it in the party pack, etc
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Isn't that what the party pack is for?))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] well, if we are in a bind, and need a lock opened, I would think our equipment is probably taken away
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I would think party pack or all of this unless someone is attached to something)
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((In which case the vial would have been taken, too))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] yeah
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we have Knock spells too so not a high priority)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] yeah, I still say give it to foriso
[Master] two last potions
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] it compliments his skills
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] and will give him xp, which wont happen in the party pack ;)
[Master] Party pack the XP gets divided up between everyone
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] does it?
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((well, in that case, give me the lot. I've got a long way to go to level. :P ))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I don't care - I don;t need it)
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((I don't agree with taking anything just for the exp.))
Branwyn (Lisa) takes next vial and looks at it
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] still think it seems a thiefy thing to me is all. he is the most likely to be in a situation that requires opening a lock
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((which is why he's got a Lockpicking skill.))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] which fails
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (whch is why you and I have Knock)
[Master] Bran has a plain fired clay bottle with a wood stopper in it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that potion would be a last ditch, you and I are MIA, foriso rolls horribly situation)
Branwyn (Lisa) pulls out stopper and looks down at it
[Master] liquid inside, smells honey flavored
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] potion of bee summoning
Branwyn (Lisa) hands potion to Scarlet
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((potion of Muhammad Ali))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] you know what all of these are. here you go
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] :: looks at it :: "I prefer syrup on my waffles. Not honey"
[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] is it an oil or something?
[Master] no a liquid, something you would drink
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] looks like you drink it?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] okay, as disgusting as the thought of drinking pure honey sounds, I will do thusly
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] taste a sip
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((is it thick like honey?))
[Master] saving throw verus death with a +4
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] nice
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] favorite save
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] Scarlet: Paralysis, Poison or Death save: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!
[Master] blinks
[Master] wow
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] yeah, thats a fail
[Master] OK
[Master] sorry for that
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] what wow? even with a +4 its 50/50
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ... :(
[Master] as the group watches, Scarlett suddenly drops to the ground and writhes in agony, she takes (3d10) [3d10=1,1,5] 7 points of damage and Miranda needs to make a save versus spell please
[Master] Scarlet's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 6 (-7) - Heavily Wounded
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Miranda: Magical Spell save: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] well, at least my damage roll wasnt bad
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] Ok, so Miranda is paralyzed and unable to help
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((trying to figure out how Miranda got sucked into this))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] she doesnt get a +4?
[Master] no
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((she didn't even touch the stuff! Interesting.))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] what sort of crazy potion is this?
[Master] now for Scarlett, she gets a second save versus death
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((the kind that can sniff out nearby priests who can heal, apparently.))
[Master] will explain it all in a moment
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((waiting with baited breath))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] Scarlet: Paralysis, Poison or Death save: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!
[Master] Ok
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] man, glad I only had a sip
[Master] that is (2d10) [2d10=5,8] 13 points more of damage
[Master] adn the effects are over
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] if I drank the whole thing it would be the apocalypse
[Master] Scarlet's Current Hit Points: adjusted to -7 (-13) - Dying
[Master] and now Miranda
[Master] another save versus spell please
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Miranda: Magical Spell save: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!
[Master] that is ok
[Master] with the bonus you made it
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((randomizer is definitely broken!!))
[Master] so the full effect here
[Master] Scarlett takes a sip of the potion
[Master] suddenly Miranda sees Scarletts soul being RIPPED out of her,
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] lol
[Master] Scarlett goes into convulsions, and Miranda can not stop it
[Master] then Scarlett survives the first rush and then on the second one keels over uncouncious
[Master] Miranda snaps out and rushes over to her to bind her wounds
[Master] so Scarlet is alive, barely
[Master] at -7
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((I can heal, can't I? Well, Miranda. Won't it bring her to +1?))
[Master] Miranda realizes that if someone were to drink the full potoin there would be no saves, just instant death, and the soul ripped out and transported to someplace
[Master] Now Miranda can do a cure for Scarlet
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Miranda casts a spell against : Cure Moderate Wounds: You're healed (-1d10-1) [1d10=6] -7 points.
[Master] Ok
[Master] Scarlet's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 1 (8) - Massively Wounded
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ::coughs:: "And thats why I dont like honey on my waffles."
[Master] chuckles
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((so, did Miranda see her soul fly away, or is it back to her?))
[Master] it is back in her, it was a close thing, 3 more points of damage and it would have been gone
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] so... did she get to me in time that I am not walking wounded or was she too late?
[Master] no too late for that you are walkign wounded
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((So basically, the potion didn't affect Miranda, it was the sight of Scarlet's soul being ripped away?))
[Master] right
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((ok))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] you are going holy shit!
[Master] Imari would ahve had the same thign
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((what do we call this disgusting thing?))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] we call it sandwich spread of death
[Master] not a poison that kills you, it is something that steals your soul, the only way back would be a reincarnate
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((LOL))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] give it to foriso
[Master] lol
[Kristelle (Kaz)] doh
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] he can sneak it onto some enemy's sandwich with his sneaky skills
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] does it have to be ingested or could it be used as a grenade weapon or coated on a blade or something?
[Master] you can test it again if you want
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I prefer not to get stabbed with a soul sucking poison
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] could cantrip up a rat to test on
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((I think we'll experiment on someone who doesn't deserve to live, thank you.))
[Master] so the last potion for the day?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I certainly cant take any more testing
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] woo earthquake
[Master] I thin kthat is four aftershocks so far tonight/this morning?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] seems so, about every half hour or so
[Master] Kristelle? Branwyn? who is going to test the last one
Kristelle (Kaz) picks up the last container.
[Master] small metal flask, metal stopper, like a water bottle/canteen
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Well, here goes nothing. Or everything.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] hmm... I wonder if I should be concerned by the ambulances that seem to be going by every 5 minutes...
Kristelle (Kaz) carefully opens the stopper and takes a tiny sniff.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Yeah, maybe.))
[Master] smells like a brandy of some sort
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] sweet, we stole the groom's flask
Kristelle (Kaz) takes a deep breath, then a tiny sip
[Master] nothing
[Master] a little sweet
[Master] but not a bad taste
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((just a liquid?))
[Master] nods
Kristelle (Kaz) raises her eyebrows and tilts her head.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Not bad.
[Master] and Kristelles voice comes from behind Branwyn's head
Kristelle (Kaz) whips her head around.
Kristelle (Kaz) giggles.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] sweet, potion of gods I forget the word.... voice throwing....
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((ventriloquism))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] thats the one
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] been in japan too long, starting to forget english I swear
[Master] and yes Potoin of Ventriloquism
[Master] so that is most of your items
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] we have anything that needs to be identified?
[Master] for the most part that is all, some trapped things
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Bob, I found the percentage thing, do you mind if I just use that for gem sizes? Or did you want to do that yourself?))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] gotcha, well I am gonna go do some bed rest and sleep off this whole soul ripping thing
[Master] go for it
[Master] and while Scarlett huddles in bed
[Master] what does Branwyn and Kristelle want to do?
[Kristelle (Kaz)] I'M GOIN TO DISNEYLAND!!
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((sorry, that was ooc))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] in russia, disneyland goes to YOU
[Kristelle (Kaz)] heh
[Master] and so next?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] they go off training I guess
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Lisa?))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I was going to see what net does since it is magic but maybe marco can just explain it to me)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (then I'd like to see the mosskins before we leave for training it that works for everybody)
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Yes, we definitely need to see the Mosskins))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] net? it a spell?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I posted on the site what I thought about going to loosend not sure if anyone but Guy saw it)
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((no, it's a net))
[Master] a magical net, used as a weapon
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((I'll look, Lisa))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] oh, could be a few things, usually involving magically doing what a net does (aka ensnare stuff)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] some ensnare others, some ensnare the user, some have to be used in special circumstances, like underwater
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] never heard of a magic net that does anything else though
[Branwyn (Lisa)] should we toss it on someone?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] probably requires a command word
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what's the point of finding a magic net if you need a command word?)
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Lisa, I agree with your post))
[Master] command words are used for special functions
[Kristelle (Kaz)] brb again
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] identify spells usually give you any command words
[Kaz] I am away from the keyboard.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I suppose it could just be a +1 net in theory
[Branwyn (Lisa)] ( so as far as we are concerned, it is just a net. okay, next item then)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] that wouldnt require a command word
[Master] that is all of the items you have, without a remove traps
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I do have identify if we want to cast it, though will have to wait until I am up and running again
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] its an expensive and taxing spell though, would need me a 100 gp pearl
[Master] nods
[Branwyn (Lisa)] if we see any oysters we will give them to you
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] and even then its not a certain thing, I get 4 chances at 40% (because I am 4th level)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I can totally imagine a high level mage with a clam farm
[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] hey bob, since the pearl is crushed into wine, does it have to be a single 100 gp pearl or 100 gp worth of crushed pearls??
[Master] 100 gp pearl,
[Master] is the normal average worth of a pearl, you can not use cheap little ones to combine up to it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so I did not go back in chat log -- any chance of seeing the sea shell again?)
[Master] it is missing as of now
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (stupid! widow did not find it for me or you will make me ask her)
[Master] grins
[Master] you will have to ask
Branwyn (Lisa) goes into the kitchen to talk to the Widow
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Widow Washburn, you didn't happen to find that shell I asked you about, did you?"
[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] sorry, back
[Widow Washburn (Master)] no Mis Branwyn, I am sorry
[Widow Washburn (Master)] I ahve not seen anything around like that in the house
[Widow Washburn (Master)] or in teh garden
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Keep your eyes out for it. It is very valuable and it has to be here somewhere. Unfortunately, the best times for searching for it is when we are not here.
[Widow Washburn (Master)] ok
[Widow Washburn (Master)] do you want me to have the farm hands looking?
[Widow Washburn (Master)] you said to be quiet about it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] They may look as they work, but do not distract them too much. I am feeling though that it may be in the house by now.
[Widow Washburn (Master)] very well
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you widow.
[Widow Washburn (Master)] when do you want supper tonight?
[Widow Washburn (Master)] just after dark?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I'm not sure - are we going to Mosskins tonight or tomorrow?)
[Widow Washburn (Master)] ( I woudl say tomorrow, the 17th, you spent most of the day on the 16 testing things)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then after dark sounds perfect
[Widow Washburn (Master)] very well
[Master] I think that is everything to test poke prod etc while you are home
[Master] you just have to decide what you are taking with you,
[Master] go to the Mosskins, then to Redfern Lake (the town with Old Man Millers tavern)
[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((we'll have to figure out training costs and what to sell))
[Master] then on to Midturn, which is on the way to Loosend
[Master] will take a few days to get there
[Master] if you visit the Estates on the 17th you can arrange for meetings, training, etc. then leave on the morning of the 18th
[Master] have a nice family feast on the evening of the 17th
[Branwyn (Lisa)] sounds good
[Master] and everyone is going along for this trip?
[Master] will be at least a few weeks
[Branwyn (Lisa)] depends on Yulotte
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Kristelle and Miranda will both go.
[Kristelle (Kaz)] I'd say you have a good chance of finding a better mage in Loosend
[Kristelle (Kaz)] Plus, Yulotte fled at the plague outbreak. Dunno if he'd be welcomed back.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] There's nothing wrong with Yulotte as a teacher
[Branwyn (Lisa)] yup - I'm not holding my breath.
[Kaz] My other thought about Yulotte, and it's the one to really consider, is that he had planned to take up residence in the crooked castle, and probaly left to go there anyway.
[Master] and what will you take with you on the trip?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] everything
[Master] money? gems? items? etc
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] and the kitchen sink
[Master] need to find a way to pack and carry if you really take everything
[Master] hard to carry all of that
[Branwyn (Lisa)] then you can carry it all
[Master] and you can guess that you will find things on the way
[Kaz] I think we should decide which gems to sell and sew them into our tunic hems and whatnot
[Kaz] How much money are we going to need?
[Master] you do not know
[Master] will be from hundreds to maybe thousands for everyone's training
[Lisa] not everyone will be training though
[Lisa] will have to take enough for Miranda and Branwyn to train. Kristelle is set for now isn't she?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] training is always expensive, will need gold
[Lisa] we can use gems
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] plus if this is the closest real town, we should probably see about selling what useless stuff we have as this is the chance to do it
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] like the origami paper and silk scroll
[Master] Loosend is a big city
[Lisa] Foriso has to train at the estates so that is okay
[Master] you will find buyers there
[Kaz] Kristelle is set for a while, yes
[Lisa] Foriso can train for Obs from who?
[Master] any teacher who has it
[Master] you can go with the idea that Loosend is a big enough city to find just about anything you need for training
[Master] just the matter of cost/favors, etc
[Kaz] ((PLEASE, no more big favours. Yeesh.))
[Lisa] so we need cash for at least 3 training sessions
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] hopefully we have enough random treasure to pay for it
[Lisa] does Scarlet need any training?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] nope
[Lisa] we do
[Lisa] goblet is 3000 gp alone
[Lisa] if that damn shell would show up that would be another 1000
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] the silk scroll is supposedly thousands
[Master] Goblet of 3,000 a broosh of 1,000 a clasp fo 2,400
[Lisa] shell for 1000
[Kaz] Oh, I'm sure the shell will show up. [Master] not counting gems
[Master] but you should also decide how much to invest in the library
[Master] to get those books flowing again
[Master] it takes months for them to filter in
[Lisa] I think Imari might need some training
[Kaz] Hey Marco, here is the thing about the net: Magical ancient net with small silver badges at the intersections, with unrecognised heraldric images - gladiator style net used in ancient times for fighting (use in combat confined to humanoids)
[Lisa] Will Mike be in next week?
[Master] Hope so, this is the final week of the Ren Fest
[Master] I am guessing that is where he is tonight
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] no way of guessing what it is, presumably something that ensnares, but maybe could be some sort of shield if it is a gladiator net
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] either way, not something we are gonna use and might as well sell
[Master] well magical weapons are hard to come by
[Master] not sure I would sell any
[Lisa] on website Imari does need training too
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] they are, but this one is clearly useless to us. I mean we could trade for something else
[Lisa] why is it clearly useless?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] but we really dont need a net unless someone here is a gladiator trained in sword and net fighting style
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] it has value, but not to us
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] at least I havent seen anyone using any nets
[Lisa] then we would have the advantage
[Lisa] :)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I mean in our group
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] none of us are trained to use it
[Master] but warriors have a low non proficient penalty
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] it would be better to trade it for a magic sword we CAN use
[Master] unlike you mages
[Master] grins
[Lisa] Roll #1: (d4) [1d4=3] 3
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] even a low penalty is still a penalty
[Kaz] Hrm
[Kaz] We might be able to test it out, maybe
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] negates the purpose of magic if you have a penalty that is larger than the bonus received
[Kaz] There is an arena in Loosend. Who knows what goes on there?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] unless it is a +3 net or something, it wouldnt offset the penalty even for a warrior
[Master] but creatures that need a magical weapon to hit it will work on etc.
[Lisa] marco you are seriously no fun at all
[Lisa] unless there is a tactical mathematical advantage - why bother???
[Master] I do agree with Lisa on this one, the roleplay fun can be just as important
[Kaz] I say we bring it to Loosend and see if we get a chance to test it either there or on the way there.
[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Combat - Current Hit Points:: CHANGED: 26 (23). Max Hit Points:: CHANGED: 26 (23).
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] its a silly weapon that only a specific type of person would use. cant just horde everything we come across for hope that we might someday use it
[Master] I hear what Marco is saying, and if you were dead broke the net is something you could consider parting with
[Master] but for now I don't see the reason
[Lisa] I'm not saying horde it. Just toss it on someone
[Lisa] we haven't even done that once
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] oh, well go ahead
[Kaz] I say we test it on Scarlet
[Kaz] :D
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] easy to net a person who is passed out in bed :-P
[Lisa] can we take it to loosend and just start tossing it on things during random encounters
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] lol
[Lisa] we can sell it if we don't like it when we get there
[Master] and it is best to test in combat
[Master] so you know how it will react
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] just hope it isnt cursed
[Master] for example a cursed sword in practice works fine, then in combat suddenly JERKS and stabs the person next to you
[Lisa] that would be kinda funny
[Lisa] whoops
[Master] and you do have Toybin and Indigo and Kristelle as warriors to use misc weapons
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] so I guess we arent gonna try and identify it then?
[Lisa] nobody would die - just might be inconvenienced a bit if it was cursed
[Lisa] do we have a pearl?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] well, you never know with curses
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] no idea, but could get one in looseend I am sure
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] its a common enough spell that any magic shop should have them in stock
[Master] you can also substiute the 100 gp in coinage for a common item like that
[Master] if it was a piece of coral for example, then no, as there is no coral in this area far from the sea
[Master] but 5 Gp forth of whichwood sure
[Master] worth
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] huh?
[Master] 100 Gp pearl is easy to come by
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] dont know what you mean by the witchwood or coral thing though
[Master] so even if you do not ahve one at Loosend you can just pay the equivelent cost
[Master] but if you needed Coral for the spell
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] oh, okay
[Master] you would need to actually find coral
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] gotcha
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] so yeah, like I said, any magic shop should stock them
[Lisa] okay - it's been a very long day for me. I'm going to call it a night
[Master] night everyone
[Lisa] Goodnight!
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] nighty
[Master] make any notes on teh site please
Lisa has left the game on Fri Mar 11 23:01:34 EST 2011
[Master] and next week will start at the Jistille Estaes and move forward from there
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] wheres that?
[Kaz] That's where the Mosskins are
[Master] the Jistille Estates are the local noble family
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] is that a name or a monster?
[Master] where the quarentine was
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] oh, okay
[Kaz] Technically, we live on the Jistille Estates,don't we? I mean, the land is leased from them.
[Master] yes
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] by the way, really weird having a proper home as a low level adventuring group
[Master] grins
[Kaz] hehe
[Master] they used their first treasure haul to pay the rent for a while
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] lol
[Kaz] Actually, we only used a small amount of it
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] so thats why we owe favors for everything, all the treasure went to rent :-P
[Kaz] After we got rid of the gremlin infestation, we arranged with the Widow to live here.
[Kaz] And we arranged with the Mosskins to live here. We paid the back rent, which was 10 gold
[Kaz] and the current rent, which was the same.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] and what do we owe that the rent is so low?
[Kaz] nothing
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] cursed indian burial ground?
[Master] next year you will owe taxes again
[Kaz] I'm trying to remember the terms
[Kaz] yes, rent, not taxes
[Kaz] sorry
[Master] you have to contribute so many bushels of apples
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] taxes are a set amount or a percent of our earnings?
[Kaz] Bob, wasn't it also only so much because there was no one ot harvest the crop for the previous year?
[Master] nods
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] we pay taxes in crops?
[Master] you pay gold and crops
[Master] because you do not ahve enough people to harvest enough crops
[Kaz] it was 10 gold because there was no crops given at all
[Master] but you get enough adventuring to cover the missing portion easily
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] at 10 gold, I would hope so
[Kaz] I'd say we have enough to pay for workers to help harvest
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] if we cant afford 10 gold, it is time to revolt against the gm
[Kaz] lol
[Master] you can do that
[Master] grins
[Master] they actually went up I think to 3rd level before they could afford it
[Master] combination fo good luck in going up in XP and bad luck on the treasures
[Kaz] We were living in a tower at the Keep before that. Tiny place.
[Master] 7 to a room
[Master] at least you had the roof for privacy, grins
[Master] OK
[Master] Marco go enjoy your magic fingers house
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] lol
[Master] Kaz you go write up what ever you need to on the site
[Master] I do think on the site you need a list by priority of training
[Master] Miranda spells
