[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] Hello there
[Lisa] Hello
[Master] I have to grab a pencil brb
[Lisa] who uses pencils any more?
[Master] back
[Lisa] Besides you I guess
[Master] I like them for pointing at teh screen
[Master] for tracing things on the map etc
[Master] Nyrma takes them out of the cup here and uses them in her hair
[Master] so they all eventually migrate down to the bedroom
[Master] went and grabbed handful to bring back up
[Lisa] Thought your maps were electronic
[Lisa] and you should get Nyrma some chopsticks
[Master] grins they are on the screen is why I need a soft point to trace the screen
[Lisa] you are drawing on your monitors?
[Master] no
[Master] tracing the route you may or may not take

[Lisa] Hi Marco and Bill :)
[Master] Hello guys
new guy has received the map Guest Rooms.
[Master] that seems to have loaded nicely for you Bill
[BiBo!!!] yo
[new guy] Hello
[Master] question for you to start off, did you want to continue exploring for the afternoon, you have just under two hours, or just skip to dinner?
[new guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] ((Need to go afk for a minute or two))
[new guy] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] and one minor celebratory note, we passed the 50% of all sessions on line
[BiBo!!!] I wouldnt call that celebratory
[Master] I think it is a very good thing
[BiBo!!!] I am pretty sure you are the only one who thinks klooge is superior to actually being at a table
[Master] I do not know of many games that have lasted as long
[Master] chuckles
[Master] I do not know of anyone who has a table top game that has lasted this long
[Lisa] If Bob played at a table none of us would be playing at all
[Master] and there are zero people in this area that I know that I would want to invite to the house cold to see if they want to play in my game
[Lisa] with him anyway
[Lisa] see, Bob would have tp play with himself if not for Klooge :)
[Master] Branwyn XP award: 1000. Next level in 68781.
[BiBo!!!] klooge is something I grudgingly accept, not something I enjoy
[Master] there are some other platforms out there that are web based
[Master] but none of them can do the basic Klooge functions we use
[Master] let alone the advanced stuff we don't
[BiBo!!!] okay, let me rephrase that. playing online is something I grudgingly accept
[Master] grins
[BiBo!!!] regardless of platform
[Master] that is why the Conventions are getting a lot of older players now
[Master] it is the only way they can meet to play
[Master] and I am seriously considering changing ISP
[Master] so my speed here should go up maybe dramatically
[BiBo!!!] last time I was in florida, mike and I went to this place which was essentially a warehouse devoted to gaming
[Master] which one?
[BiBo!!!] gsx or something
[Master] nods
[Master] know of them
[BiBo!!!] like, they have a handful of games for sale to pretend that they are a store, but it is clear that it only exists for people to show up and play their games
[BiBo!!!] I have no idea how they make money
[Master] they don't
[new guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] they are on their third owner
[Master] each one thinks, I can make some money doing my hobby
[Master] they all eventually have to give up on it
[Master] the economics just don't work
[Master] without a food license
[BiBo!!!] they dont even offer anything
[BiBo!!!] its just a huge room
[BiBo!!!] set of rooms
[BiBo!!!] with nothing in particular for sale
[BiBo!!!] they dont even charge you to use the rooms
[Lisa] huh?
[Master] Dragon's Lair used to be a private club you had to pay to join
[Master] they lasted for quite a few years
[Lisa] how do they pay rent if they don't charge for anything? That is silly
[BiBo!!!] I have no idea!
[Master] and that is the problem LIsa
[Master] how much would you pay to go to a place and play every week?
[Master] if you had to bring your own drinks, snacks, etc
[Master] a 4 hour session?
[Master] five dollars
[BiBo!!!] I'd pay 5 bucks a day
[Master] a four hour session
[Lisa] well - I can think of it as an equivalent as a night out to play pool
[Master] then you would be there for too long to make it
[Master] pool costs what? 20 bucks every couple hours?
[Master] plus you buy beer, etc
[BiBo!!!] well, presumably each play would also pay the 5 bucks
[BiBo!!!] like karaoke here
[Master] nods,
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] I saw someone advertising to DM a session once... he claimed to have taken acting classes and voice lessons to enhance his skills as a DM. Think he charged like 10 or 20 dollars for four hours... made me laugh actually
[BiBo!!!] each person pays the same even though you still get the same room
[Lisa] well - I can think of it as an equivalent as a night out to play pool
[Lisa] I think about how much it would cost to go out for a night and play pool
Lisa has left the game on Fri Mar 15 19:18:52 EDT 2013
[Master] WOW Bill
[BiBo!!!] but what they need to do is actually offer stuff for sale
[BiBo!!!] they have a huge place and nothing in the way of merchandise
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] think it was for an online game too
Lisa has joined the game on Fri Mar 15 19:20:11 EDT 2013
Lisa is receiving the map Guest Rooms...
[Master] same problem of competing with AMazon though for sales
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] with voice chate
[BiBo!!!] well that could be said of any store. but I think there are plenty of people out there who prefer to actually see their options in front of them
Lisa has received the map Guest Rooms.
[BiBo!!!] I mean, how do you find something if you dont know what you are looking for?
[BiBo!!!] which has always been my problem in amazon. cant browse
[Master] I hang out in the game designer areas
[Master] I browse Amazon a LOT
[Master] I can spend hours there looking at various options on gear, books, etc
[Master] grins
[BiBo!!!] well, apparently I am just more analog than you
[Master] this is likely the case
[Master] you are just too big to fit into those sockets easily :)
[BiBo!!!] when I go to amazon, it is only when I know specifically what I want
[Master] so back up top there ^ there was a question about jumping right to dinner? or doing more exploring in the hour or so before you have to start getting ready
[BiBo!!!] well, we are gonna have to explore anyway, might as well do it sooner than later
[Master] any place in particular you want to look at?
[BiBo!!!] that door over there that we havent opened
[Master] the one north there you know goes into a barracks
[Master] the guard told you
[BiBo!!!] west one then
[Master] Esmerelda moved 12'04".
[BiBo!!!] thats the one
[Master] that one in front of
[Master] Branwyn moved 87'06".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 72'07".
[Master] Indigo moved 87'03".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 5'04".
[Master] like that?
[BiBo!!!] looks fabulous
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's the Master's Chambers isn't it?)
[Master] no
[Master] sorry
[Master] Yes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol
[Master] You are on level two
[Master] that door leads to the Foyer to the Master's Chambers
[Master] you never went through it
[Master] but the guard told you there is a guard on the other side
[Trun - guard (Master)] Do you really want to open that door to just hear someone else tell you to go away?
[BiBo!!!] "We do like to hear it."
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You would be surprised how cathartic it can be if you hear it often enough."
Trun - guard (Master) shrugs,
[Trun - guard (Master)] Ok,
[Trun - guard (Master)] NO Go Away
[Trun - guard (Master)] how is that?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You didn't mean it."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "It only counts if the person really means it."
Trun - guard (Master) voice deepens,
[Trun - guard (Master)] GO before I rip off your head and shit down your neck
[Trun - guard (Master)] feel better now?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::laughs:: "Now you are just trying to hard."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Lets just open the door and see how the guy on the other side does it."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::opens the door::
[Master] Esmerelda moved 3'03".
[Master] and then Trun shuts the door
[Master] closes it
[Master] locks it
[Master] turns to Branwyn and Androp
[Trun - guard (Master)] did you want to go anywhere else?
[Trun - guard (Master)] or do you want to wait for him to be done with?
[Trun - guard (Master)] (her)
Androp Ilkep (new guy) shrugs, "I really don't have a preference"
[High Guard (Master)] \what do you want thief?
[High Guard (Master)] (addressing Es)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So there isn't a guard on the other side of the door.
[Trun - guard (Master)] She is in there with one of the Masters High Guard
[Trun - guard (Master)] if he decides to let her leave
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh - I'm confused)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Thief? Where?"
[High Guard (Master)] you are a thief, you are missing yoru hand, and you are being kept in the dungeons
[High Guard (Master)] you don't even care that someone was living in that room
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Misunderstanding. I have never stolen a thing in my life."
[High Guard (Master)] you are so out of touch with how normal people act
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "It is probably best that way."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Who wants to be normal?"
[High Guard (Master)] normal people do not know how to fly
[High Guard (Master)] you want to see if you are normal or not?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "You know, had I my hand, I could fly. Wounded as I am, it is a bit more difficult."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I mean, have you ever seen a one winged bird fly?"
[High Guard (Master)] they taste good though
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "True though that may be, I do not see how their flavor contributes to their aeronautical capabilities."
[High Guard (Master)] if a bird cannot fly then she should go into the pot
[High Guard (Master)] now if you want to try to fly you can stay here, or you can go back out and leave
[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Hmm... I will get back to you on the flying thing as soon as I get my hand back."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Shouldnt be more than a few months I assure you."
[High Guard (Master)] You will not be living in the dungeons for months
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I fail to see what one has to do with the other."
[High Guard (Master)] now leave before I stop being bored and start being interested in what I can do with you
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "While I am sure there are quite a number of things you would like to do to me, my body is taken. Appologies my good man."
[Master] High Guard targets Esmerelda. Distance: 10'03"
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Farewell! I do hope you find some other maiden to satisfy you."
[Master] as you struggle with the door
[Master] eventually Trun unlocks it from his side
[Master] and lets you out
[Master] he looks at you
[Trun - guard (Master)] you still have one hand and your head I see
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Well, he didnt say go away. Quite the opposite. It seems he was feeling lonely and wanted to ravish me."
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "I decided to maintain my modesty and return before things got too out of hand. A woman can never be too careful."
[Master] Time of Day: 03:00 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Trun - guard (Master)] I would doubt your modest willlast that long
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "He wasnt my type."
Trun - guard (Master) rolls his eyes

[Master] so on your map that TMO gave you? you all see that for the most part you know everything on this level
Zbrox8 has received the map Guest Rooms.
[Master] hello Zbrox
[Master] welcome to the dragonslayers
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
[Zbrox8] Howdy, mypeeps
[Zbrox8] oh... um... lemme change my name.
[Devin] There, better
[Master] LOL
[Master] hello Dev
[Devin] Sorry, different computer today.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] howdy
[Master] Sarengar moved 5'11".
Lisa is receiving the map Guest Rooms...
Lisa has received the map Guest Rooms.
[Master] so level two has been mostly explored, or you were told not to go into the rooms because it is the Masters Chambers
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] next level then
[Master] you can go up the tower
[Master] or down the tower
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] havent we already been up the tower?
[Grink (Devin)] After examining the maps last week, I do believe we need to find our way into the tallest tower... although from the looks of it, the entrance is within the count's quarters.
[Master] you did go up the tower from the first floor to the second floor here to go out
[Master] Branwyn knows that if you continue to go UP in this tower
[Master] then you come to a walkway that goes over to the tower that she is staying in
[Master] she is on the third level of that tower
[Master] and toybin is on level four
[Master] but you have to go up to level five to cross over
[Master] is that what you want to do?
[Master] go up to level five?
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] sure. why not
[Grink (Devin)] I'd say we adventure our way up the tower, and decide when we get there.
[Master] Map is loading for Devin
[Master] everyone else can see the birds eye view
[Master] you are standing on top of that tower in the center, with teh walkway between the two towers
[Grink (Devin)] check check
[Master] do you see that map now Devin?
[Grink (Devin)] Yeah.
[Grink (Devin)] I just wasn't seeing chatting.
[Grink (Devin)] which is unusual around here.
[Master] I put everyone on the map of the tower,
[Grink (Devin)] and usually means I've disconnected.
[Master] but this allows you to see it from the outside perspective as well
[Master] Branwyn knows this area, no one else has been here
[Master] questions? observations?
[Grink (Devin)] observation: The castle has a roof.
[Master] chuckles, yes it does
[Grink (Devin)] So, if I am correct, we have been in this central section, but not off to the bedroom side?
[Master] correct
[Master] the large round tower with the stairs you just came up
[Master] you have been on level 5
[Master] where you are
[Master] level 4, 3, 2, 1
[Master] and the ground floor
[Master] which is where it ends
[Master] so now have covered every floor of this tower
[Grink (Devin)] ok. I don't remember this bit, but that may have been the 4 weeks I missed.
[Master] every time you went up from ground to level one or level two to level one you went to this tower for the stairs
[Master] Time of Day: 03:15 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 03:30 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Master] now you are up top there
[Master] you can go across that walkway
[Master] or back down the stairs
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] lets go bother another guard
[Grink (Devin)] The stairs on the left side, do they also only go down? or do we know? because if we don't know, I'd like to find out.
[Master] the left side of the map is that other tower
[Master] you have not been there other than Branwyn and Toybin
[Grink (Devin)] ah, then I agree with Esmerelda. Let us go guard bothering!
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 26'05".
[Master] Grink moved 45'04".
[Master] Esmerelda moved 32'10".
[Master] Trun - guard moved 26'06".
[Master] Branwyn moved 14'02".
[Master] Indigo moved 26'11".
[Master] Trun - guard, Indigo, Androp Ilkep, Grink, Esmerelda and Branwyn moved 28'09".
[Master] Trun - guard moved 39'06".
[Chard - Guard (Master)] Can I help you?
[Chard - Guard (Master)] Oh, hello Misstress Branwyn
[Chard - Guard (Master)] I am sorry I did not see you back there
[Chard - Guard (Master)] is everything ok?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Everything is fine. We're just doing some exploring before dinner
[Chard - Guard (Master)] Sir Toybin is in his rooms, if you want to speak with him
[Chard - Guard (Master)] you remember the way?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh yes, but I don't want to bother him
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We'll see him at dinner.
[Master] Chard - Guard moved 1'03".
[Chard - Guard (Master)] holds the door open for Branwyn to enter,
[Chard - Guard (Master)] letting the rest filter in
[Master] Grink moved 28'09".
[Master] Esmerelda moved 34'03".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 42'08".
[Master] Indigo moved 34'05".
[Master] Branwyn moved 38'02".
[Master] Trun - guard moved 34'05".
[Master] Trun - guard targets Chard - Guard. Distance: 3'10"
[Chard - Guard (Master)] How did you get on babysitting duty Trun?
[Chard - Guard (Master)] you piss in the Captains gruel?
Trun - guard (Master) shrugs
[Master] so where to?
[Master] Branwyn indicates the door leading to the stairs
Branwyn (Lisa) points
[Master] Grink moved 34'03".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 22'11".
[Master] Esmerelda moved 20'04".
[Master] Branwyn moved 11'11".
[Master] Indigo moved 13'11".
[Master] Trun - guard moved 17'03".
[Master] when Grink opens the door
[Master] he sees stairs going Up as well as Down
[Master] which way did you want to go?
[Grink (Devin)] up! quite certainly.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] up?
[Master] ok
[Master] you have the arrow slits to look out
[Master] and the stairs continue up
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] upper!
[Grink (Devin)] What say you, Esme? Up some more?
[Master] if you do go up the stairs you come out into the very top of the tower, a small covered walkway around the central stairs
[Grink (Devin)] well... that would be explored then. I should go take a look at our maps.
[Master] on the birds eye map
[Grink (Devin)] or do we need to search for secret doors. I haven't exactly been doing that.
[Master] you are out on the upper leverl of the tower
[Master] then you go up to the very top of the tower
[Master] you have to look for secret doors on purpose
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Yeah, I doubt she is somewhere we could easily find."
[Master] unless you are an elf, which no one is
[Master] Time of Day: 03:45 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 04:00 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Master] but going all the way up to the top
[Master] you can see yout over the valley
[Master] etc
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I can look for secret doors if you think there is one around)
[Master] you take alook around from the very top
[Master] then start back down the stairs?
[Grink (Devin)] (I should be able to do the same, I just have been neglecting [read as: forgetting] to do so)
[Grink (Devin)] I don't see any other direction to go from here.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] (I think she means she has a spell to do it))
[Master] you go back down to the level where you came across
[Master] then down one more level
[Master] Branwyn points to the door to Toybin's rooms
[Master] the next level down are her rooms
[Grink (Devin)] how many levels down is the count's chamber? floor 2, right?
[Master] right
[Master] you are on level 4 right now
[Grink (Devin)] I'd like to go down there, personally.
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] lets do it
[Master] looking in on Toybin?
[Master] or just going past
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] I am sure he is fine.
[Devin] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] Time of Day: 04:15 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Grink (Devin)] I'd go past. I'm looking for a way into the count's quarters.
[Master] That door leads to Branwyn's chambers
[Master] continuing down?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Nothing to see in my room
[Grink (Devin)] I'm not sure what level we're on. the map is doing something funkey.
[Master] you are on level three
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] to level 2!
[Grink (Devin)] so, am I right in saying Branwyn's room is on the same level as the count's?
[Master] no
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no)
[Master] you are one level above that
[Grink (Devin)] ok
[Master] Trun frowns when you all start trooping down the stairs again
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Whats the matter?"
[Grink (Devin)] (Lets wear him out so he'll let us go on our own!)
[Master] I suppsoe we can continue along
[Master] Misstress Brwanyn is here
[Master] and you go down the stairs
[Master] and down
[Master] and down
[Master] observation check?
[Master] Gnome abilities
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] Esmerelda: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!
[Master (to Lisa only)] Branwyn realizes you are down on the ground floor level by now, the stairs keep going down without any breaks
[Master (to BiBo!!! only)] Esmerelda realizes you are approaching the ground level and teh stiar keep going likly all the way to the dungeon levels
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wasn't this section of the stairs rather long? It's like we missed a floor
[Grink (Devin)] Grink: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL FAILED against 9!!
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] huh, never put in my gnome abilities
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I wonder if the tower was buildt this way or the original doorways leading to the floor we missed was covered up
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Probably. any particular spot look like it is worth trying a search?"
[Grink (Devin)] The maps show no changes.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And that the stirs completely miss the floor the Count lives on?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (stairs)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] no landing?
[Master] you are in the stairs still, you have the door you came in from Branwyn's chambers
[Master] and then keeps going on down
[Master] no landing
[Grink (Devin)] then changes HAVE been made.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but there was a landing for my floor?)
[Master] yes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So if we go to the middle between the floor I'm on and the next landing we should be about at the point where the Count's floor is.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (too bad we have a guard standing next to us)
[Grink (Devin)] (He doesn't like me, I could start searching somewhere else... he'd pay more attention to me than to you.)
[Master] do you want to continue down to find the next landing?
[Grink (Devin)] I do, yes.
[Master] ok
[Master] so you continue to go down the stairs
[Master] winding down
[Master] you come to a landing
[Master] Time of Day: 04:30 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And this is the tower that connects to the dungeons, correct?
[Master] you think that you are at least three levels lower maybe more
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I mean Esmerelda and Indigo's fine accomodations
[Master] grins
[Master] and then you come to one landing and the stairs continuing
[Master] Trun says to continue going down
[Master] Grink moved 13'10".
[Devin] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] Indigo moved 14'08".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 16'11".
[Grink (Devin)] (is there a door on the landing?)
[Master] Esmerelda moved 12'03".
[Master] Branwyn moved 12'04".
[Master] Trun - guard moved 12'07".
[Master] there is a short hallway off of the landing
[Master] and then a door
[Master] as you open it
[Master] see a store room of some sort
[Master] that Indigo and Esmerelda recognize
[Master] Grink moved 4'06".
[Master] Indigo moved 6'06".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 9'07".
[Master] Esmerelda moved 18'11".
[Master] Branwyn moved 14'10".
[Master] Trun - guard moved 16'01".
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] is that the place with the silver?
[Master] yes
[Master] and yes you all discover the secret door that you just came out of
[Master] so you have seen that tower and set of stairs from the very top of the tallest tower down to the 2nd level of the dungeons
[Master] with only one landing you went past, the level just above this
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (can the dungeon crew open that door from their side and go up?)
[Master] where Trun told you to keep going
[Master] it is a secret door
[Master] now that you know it is there, perhaps
[Grink (Devin)] (I do believe we need to get to the next level up and give it a good looking at)
[Master] Time of Day: 04:45 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Master] Mistress Branwyn should we put these people back in their area till dinner?
[Master] is that why you wanted to come back down here?
[Trun - guard (Master)] (as Trun)
[Trun - guard (Master)] (DOH brb dogs begging to go out)
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's probably almost dinner anyway - maybe we should see if we can ditch guard and talk about plans to explore areas we shouldn't be in)
[Grink (Devin)] (Or have him "put away" the two in the dungeon while we slip off the other direction?
[Grink (Devin)] )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (they have a pretty big area to roam around in actually - he would probably just open another door and then take us back upstairs)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not liking these guards everywhere)
[Grink (Devin)] (grumbles and thinks)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I was thinking maybe if someone was too sick to make it to dinner and just wanted to stay in their room, maybe they could sneak out then?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (marco - you have the kitchen, set of cells, supply room and hallway to move around in correct?)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((yeah))
[Grink (Devin)] (I do have pretty high move silently and hide in shadows scores)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (are we already in that area?)
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((yeah))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You should mark this spot so you remember where the door is. Not sure if you'll be able to open it again though.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Trun - guard (Master)] Mistress Branwyn, did you want to leave these two in their rooms?
Grink (Devin) begins pacing off the location of the secret door
[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((sorry, I have to deal with something. will be back if/when I get back))
[Master] Esmerelda moved 70'11".
[Trun - guard (Master)] (Does Indigo want to show Branwyn his room?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes he is so proud of his dungeon cell)
[Master] lol
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (don't think Indigo has even seen his cell)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] How long is it until dinner?
[Master] starts at 630
[Master] leave to be in the room waiting just after 6
[Master] time to get ready etc
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Why don't we leave Indigo and Esmerelda to their rooms and then we can go back to ours.
[Master] so only about a half hour more
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This way you can have some free time to do ... whatever it is you do when you are not entertaining guests.
[Master] Esmerelda moved 26'00".
[Master] Indigo moved 52'02".
[Grink (Devin)] (Am I able to see the secret door from the outside now that I know its there?)
[Master] no
[Master] not without making a check
[Master] you would get a bonus to your check
[Master] but not having seen how it opens from this side you know it must be there, just not exactly where
[Master] and Trun takes you a different way out
[Master] Grink, Androp Ilkep, Branwyn and Trun - guard moved 51'02".
[Master] through the wall on the right there
[Master] he opens up anotehr secret door
[Master (to GM only)] Koorin moved 57'02".
[Koorin (Master)] Hello there
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Where are all these doors coming from?
[Koorin (Master)] Guard
[Koorin (Master)] Guard
[Koorin (Master)] I need some help please
[Koorin (Master)] my kobold is not working anymore
[Koorin (Master)] why do you insist on using them I do not know
[Trun - guard (Master)] I will get one of the real chefs to help you with that soon
[Grink (Devin)] I'd like to go examine the other secret door while it is open.
[Grink (Devin)] see if I can decipher how it works.
[Koorin (Master)] REAL CHEFS!
[Koorin (Master)] how do you like that
[Koorin (Master)] he has never had it so good
[Koorin (Master)] and he thinks I am not a real chef@!
[Koorin (Master)] Branwyn, tell him
Koorin (Master) stomps her foot
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh, she's a real chef.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You won't taste better cooking.
Trun - guard (Master) holds up his hands
[Trun - guard (Master)] ok ok I will tell someone to help yo uwith your kobold
[Grink (Devin)] "Its certainly better than anything I can make."
[Trun - guard (Master)] I have to take these guests upstairs
[Master] Rando moved 2'02".
[Trun - guard (Master)] Rando,
[Trun - guard (Master)] That new halfling cook says her Kobold is not working right
[Trun - guard (Master)] can you go help her with that? I am taking these guests upstairs to their rooms
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We can find our own way if you have to take care of business.
[Trun - guard (Master)] No the guards will stop you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Now that the prisoners are secure, your job is done.
[Trun - guard (Master)] well unless you want to go to your room Mistress Branwyn, yours is up the tower stairs
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What guards? We just need to go up the stairs we came down from.
[Trun - guard (Master)] Mister ANdrop and mister Grink here are up this set of stairs
[Master] Trun - guard moved 22'05".
[Master] Grink moved 13'02".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 18'05".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, we must go to our rooms to get ready for dinner.
[Trun - guard (Master)] do you need help getting to your room Mistress Branwyn?
[Trun - guard (Master)] Rando can you help her with the doors please?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think we can find it. Thank you Trun.
[Rando (Master)] you want those two? looks at Androp and Grink, Sure I will take Mistress Branwyn
[Rando (Master)] This way Miss
[Master] Rando moved 6'11".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm sure it's been as wonderful a time for us as it has been for you.
[Master] Branwyn moved 13'07".
[Master] Branwyn targets Rando. Distance: 0'05"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well, we're all going the same way. I'm just a floor above them is all.
[Master] oh no
[Rando (Master)] Oh no
[Rando (Master)] you are turned around
[Rando (Master)] here let me show you
[Rando (Master)] you are here in the tall tower
[Rando (Master)] then are in the main keep
[Master] Koorin moved 51'03".
[Master] Koorin moved 92'00".
[Master] Branwyn moved 30'11".
[Master] Koorin moved 105'05".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No I am not turned around. We just went up the stairs and over
[Rando (Master)] but this tower stair leads right to your room
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's right. I get all turned around in this place.
[Master] Rando moved 26'04".
[Master] Branwyn moved 20'07".
[Master] Branwyn targets Rando. Distance: 2'05"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I guess I'm just lucky we have so many guards to keep us from getting lost.
[Rando (Master)] there are fewer of us around right now
[Grink (Devin)] Are some of you getting ready for dinner as well?
[Rando (Master)] the Master has quite a few out on the roads on watch right now
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Why is that?
[Rando (Master)] (Grink is in a different room now)
[Rando (Master)] I do not know
[Grink (Devin)] (oh... the map isn't showing me much... so :P)
[Rando (Master)] I have heard rumors that we are expecting an important guest
[new guy] I am away from the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (why? I wanted us to talk in private for at least one minute)
[Rando (Master)] (Bran is on the other map with Indigo , etc, ANdrop and Grink are on the east map)
[Rando (Master)] (Rando is showing Branwyn to the stairs to her rooms
[Master] Branwyn and Rando moved 28'10".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I never agreed to that - pushy guards)
[Master] Rando moved 2'07".
[Master] Branwyn moved 6'04".
[Master] Branwyn targets Rando. Distance: 1'11"
[Rando (Master)] Now Mistress Branwyn, this can be tricky
[Rando (Master)] the latch for the door is here on the wall
[Rando (Master)] see this brick? you just push here
[Rando (Master)] twice
[Rando (Master)] then the door will open for you
[Master] Branwyn moved 5'04".
[Master] Branwyn targets Rando. Distance: 0'09"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] How exciting! Secret doors! What are you doing tomorrow?
[Rando (Master)] I do not know, why do you ask?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I bet you would be a much better escort than Trun.
[Rando (Master)] well I am normally on guard duty down here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He didn't want to go anywhere.
[Rando (Master)] I hae to keep the brewery safe
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Or the guards will steal ale?
[Grink (Devin)] (That's a double entandre if I've ever heard one)
[Rando (Master)] well it seems that if someone is not here to watch it we always seem to come up short on rations
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well maybe you could escort us tomorrow and Trun can watch the brewery.
[Rando (Master)] come morning ask the watch captain
[Rando (Master)] have a good night Mistress Brfanwyn
Rando (Master) holds teh door open for you to go up
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wait!
[Rando (Master)] yes?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You didn't tell me who the important guest is.
[Rando (Master)] I do not know
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And when they are exected to arrive
[Rando (Master)] From what I have heard of the grumbling of the servants getting things ready they should have already been here
[Rando (Master)] or maybe they feel they are getting things ready too soon
[Rando (Master)] it is hard to tell why they are grumbling sometimes
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs
[Rando (Master)] I have to go fix that kobold for the new cook
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And where can I find the watch captain to request you?
[Rando (Master)] ask teh chamberlain
[new guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] Grink moved 11'02".
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 15'08".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] all right then. Goodnight.
[Trun - guard (Master)] (and back on the other tower)
[Trun - guard (Master)] we go up these stairs here to your guest rooms
[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] ((Got to take off... sorry something has come up. See you later))
new guy has left the game on Fri Mar 15 21:26:20 EDT 2013
[Trun - guard (Master)] (have a godo night)
[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 1'05".
[Master] Grink and Trun - guard moved 26'00".
[Master] Hoffman moved 75'05".
[Master] QuiFon Ruminel moved 94'00".
[Master] Brother Fotopoulos moved 84'04".
[Master] so Trun leaves Grink in his room
[Master] Trun - guard moved 10'11".
[Master] Rando leave Branwyn to go up to her room
[Master] Time of Day: 05:00 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 05:15 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Grink (Devin)] I can't see any of the maps, right now.
[Grink (Devin)] so I'm not 100% sure what's going on.
[Master] your map is loading now Dev
[Master] sorry about that
[Master] I moved you off the map so it went dark
[Master] you are in your own room now
[Grink (Devin)] I'm understanding the conversation, but if you've been showing off the maps... well... *shrug*
[Master] no showing of maps
[Grink (Devin)] Yay! Map!
[Grink (Devin)] So, assumption: We are locked in?
[Master] no
[Master] you are not
[Master] the ones in the dungeon yes
[Grink (Devin)] but there's a guard outside the door?
[Master] nope
[Master] in your area there is a kitchen
[Master] busy with servants all the time
[Master] I just don't fill up the map with them
[Grink (Devin)] I just find it interesting that they escort us, but don't guard us.
[Master] They are only with you when one of the prisoners is up from the dungeons
[Grink (Devin)] My inclination is to go back and see if we can't get into that stairwell again, and check out that 'skipped' landing.
[Master] you will be late for dinner
[Master] and or
[Master] is Branwyn goin to attempt to do that?
[Master] on her way back up to her rooms?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no she can't be late)
[Grink (Devin)] we don't know. We didn't get a chance to figure it out, so I'm assuming I'm working on only my own knowledge and curiosity at this point.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I will hurry and get ready for dinner and then swing by the guys rooms though if I can)
[Master] you can do that
[Master] if you go up and over with Toybin
[Master] you will come down to the rooms were Androp and Ilero are
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sure - he can come too)
[Master] Grink is one level below that
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
[Master] LOL
[Grink (Devin)] Not that I know of her conversation, but I wonder about that "special guest" and I wonder if its not the princess we're looking for, and she simply hasn't arrived here yet.
[Grink (Devin)] but that's all meta-gaming, so it doesn't really matter.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (brb)
[Master] while she is gone, Devin, do you think it woudl be better for your schedule to start an hour later and go an hour later?
[Master] starting at 8 EST instead of 7 like we do now?
[Grink (Devin)] In general, yes.
[Grink (Devin)] My schedule is going to get all wonky here soon, as I believe I will be changing jobs in the next 2 months sometime.
[Grink (Devin)] but starting at 4pm usually means I'm not out of work yet.
[Master] ok
[Master] that is expected normally
[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] we seem to be getting more west coast time zone people so was thinking it might help to shift things
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
[Grink (Devin)] *thinks for a moment*
[Grink (Devin)] My best guess, with the new job, I expect I'll be getting home closer to 6 most evenings.
[Grink (Devin)] I don't know what they're going to let me do with my schedule.
[Master] so new assignment? or new job?
[Grink (Devin)] new job.
[Grink (Devin)] I'm not even sure if I got it yet, either.
[Master] what will this one be?
[Grink (Devin)] but they asked for pre-offer security paperwork, so I assume they're making an offer in the near future.
[Grink (Devin)] same basic thing. Unix Administration, but on newer technology and for a different company.
[Master] that sounds good
[Grink (Devin)] Lawrence Livermore National Labs.
[Grink (Devin)] HOPEFULLY working on the NIF project
[Master] NIF?
[Grink (Devin)] National Ignition Facility.
[Grink (Devin)] The huge laser
[Master] ahh
[Master] that would be cool
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and back in Nocal for you)
[Grink (Devin)] you better believe it would be.
[Grink (Devin)] yes, and back in Norcal.
[Grink (Devin)] Which I'm in now, incidentally.
[Master] I have a friend who works for Space X, hard to say which is a cooler job
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no more blizzards)
[Grink (Devin)] But I leave again on monday.
[Master] and you should feel free to post on the site Devin also
[Grink (Devin)] its amazing how comfortable my own bed is after 3 weeks in a hotel.
[Grink (Devin)] I should remember to check the site. :P
[Master] you have spent time looking over the maps, your opinions would be very good
[Master] chuckles
[Grink (Devin)] I'm not used to a campaign being nearly this well organized.
[Master] HAH
[Master] I feel we are falling apart
[Master] we used to be more organized
[Grink (Devin)] you coulda fooled me.
[Master] but thank you
[Grink (Devin)] I'm much more used to the "NOBODY thinks about it between games" mentality.
[Grink (Devin)] Including the GM
[Master] I used to put in more time
[Master] I try to vary it between research, working on the campaign and working on Klooge projects
[Master] right now John reads teh chat logs to semi keep up
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you will when we get done with this and are into the next adventure)
[Master] I think TMO does
[Master] yeah I am almost prepped for the next adventure but not the one after that
[Master] no clue on that yet
[Grink (Devin)] TMO and I chat about it a bit here and there.
[Grink (Devin)] lately though, life has been so "I don't know what I'm doing in 5 minutes" that it's been hard to keep up with anything.
[Master] checking to see what TMO's eta is
[Master] before plopping you all in the dinning room
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what about me going to their rooms first!)
[Master] you can do that right now
[Master] you want to be in Grink's room?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you are always complaining we never do any planning and when I want to plan you won't let me)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what did TMO say?)
[Grink (Devin)] he hasn't answered me yet.
[Master] says not looking like he will make it
[Master] lol
[Grink (Devin)] *sigh*
[Master] Trun - guard moved 41'07".
[Grink (Devin)] Just duct tape the kids to the wall, and then you can watch them while you play!
[Master] Grandparents are in town for him
[Master] so they are having a get together someplace other than the house
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you would not believe the email I just got - one sec)
[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] oh oh
[Master] her work emergencies can be all sorts of weird stuff
[Grink (Devin)] that can be either the most amazing, or worst line to end with.
[Grink (Devin)] I'm betting its an email about a Nigerian Prince though.
[Master] she is a research expert
[Master] gets calls from people in the middle of trials begging for help, etc
[Grink (Devin)] research into...? anything?
[Grink (Devin)] oooh.
[Grink (Devin)] ok.
[Master] a lot of corporate stuff
[Master] but I bet she can find just about anything
[Grink (Devin)] That's kinda cool.
[Master] and everything ok LIsa?
[Master] nothign burning down?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so incredibly stupid)
[Grink (Devin)] Hey! I resemble that remark!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (guy got locked out of his computer while he is on the road)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (says it won't let me enetr my password - what should I do?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sigh)
[Master] grins
[Grink (Devin)] won't let him enter his password? good gravy. Usually it at least says "you've been locked out" or "wrong password/ID combination" or something.
[Grink (Devin)] then you push the button that says "The moron locked himself out again, please let him back in" and it all works in a few seconds.
[Master] chuckles
[Grink (Devin)] I'm an admin. Users are the bane of my existence. If there were no users, my servers would never break!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's what he says - I'm not sure about that)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (told him to turn it off and back on again)
[Grink (Devin)] Well, if they did break, it'd be my fault, and it'd be because I was trying something new, not because I wanted to listen to my music at work.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Master] grins
[Master] ==== Player Icon browsing has been ENABLED. ====
[Master] ==== Player Icon browsing has been DISABLED. ====
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (anyway where are we?)
[Master] in Grinks room so you can talk
[Grink (Devin)] You know you've been an admin for too long when you really want to put an L in front of the word Users.
[Master] Time of Day: 05:46 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and what do you know - shutting off and turning on works like magic)
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.EveryoneKnows
[Grink (Devin)] *e-smacks your user for you*
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (why do people freeze when computers do not act they they are supposed to?)
[Master] for you to follow later Devin
[Master] you have about 30 minutes before dinner is seated
[Grink (Devin)] My computer insists that that page does not exist.
[Grink (Devin)] anyway. later. for now, ROLEPLAY!
[Master] are you trying to open it up in Klooge? did you specify a default browser?
[Master] I always copy and paste to a separeate browser window
[Grink (Devin)] I typed it into my other system.
[Master] and yes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (turn your computer off and on)
[Master] LOL
[Grink (Devin)] one seck, phone.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we are cursed)
[Master] I will shut up
[Master] and let you two converse
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Sure now you say that when Devin's gone)
[Master] if I would have earlier you would have been talking already, wry grin
[Master] it is my fault I admit
[Grink (Devin)] nope, back.
[Grink (Devin)] Wrong number.
[Master] excellent
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no it isn't)
[Grink (Devin)] (I was wondering why someone was calling from Landsing MI)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We don't have much time before dinner. Thank God that horrible guard is gone.
[Grink (Devin)] Branwyn! Good to see you again. I presume you have some ideas rattling around in that genius mind of yours.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am going to request Rando to show us around tomorrow.
[Grink (Devin)] You took a liking to him, I take it.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well, I'm not so sure about that but I did find out a few things.
[Grink (Devin)] Did he give you any useful information?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He showed me how to open the secret door into the dungeon area where Es and Indigo are.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] There's a brick and you tap it twice.
[Grink (Devin)] oh, that WOULD be a useful trick.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe the other secret doors work like that too.
[Grink (Devin)] So, I take it you're not expecting to do any more exploring during dinner tonight?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I can't suring dinner. Toybin and I can't be missing from dinner with the Count.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Look what happened when Sarengar caused his scene. The Count is very ... sensitive it seems.
[Grink (Devin)] Well, nobody here has really taken a liking to me. They'd probably be releived if I left early... or didn't show up at all.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But Rando said that they are expecting a very important guest
[Grink (Devin)] Did he give you any hints as to whom?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And the guards were light here because they are guarding the roads.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Unfortunately no and I don't know if they are already here or are still coming.
[Grink (Devin)] And they didn't do that for me? I feel so... common!
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs, "Yes that's all we need is more guards watching us"
[Grink (Devin)] Well, as long as they're watching me, you're free to go about your business unharassed.
[Grink (Devin)] And I'm sure I could slip away whenever.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Toybin were you doing anything productive or were you sleeping all afternoon?
[Grink (Devin)] Moot point, anyway.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] They only seem to be watching us on our tours. We could probably wander around tonight. At least until someone sees us.
[Master] (you want Toybin here with you?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sigh)
[Grink (Devin)] (I thought that had to happen for her to get here before dinner...)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I thought we said he was coming)
[Master] (No Toybin can be at dinner)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I want to know what he's been doing for the past 4 hours)
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I was reading
[Grink (Devin)] (Well, I'm not sure I completely trust him anyway. But that may just be his well played self righteous attitude)
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I was trying to determine the family line here better
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Seriously? The love of your life is trapped somewhere in the castle and you were reading!
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I am confident she is here
[Grink (Devin)] Any snarls in the family tree?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] we need to figure out the why
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] and the family history is mostly clear up until the current Count's grandfather
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] then it seems there was a big drop off in prodigy
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] only one son each generation
[Grink (Devin)] any daughters?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] none
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] and no wives
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] the current Count was brought here by his father
[Grink (Devin)] THAT is interesting.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] who said that the boy's mother died
[Grink (Devin)] do we have any visual references of the previous generations?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] there are the statues in the hall
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] looks at Branwyn, didn't the guard say something about the current Count's family?
[Grink (Devin)] I may have to go take a closer look.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No. We just know that the current Count's wife died many years ago and he lives here all alone.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] nods
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] funny thing
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I cannot find any mention of her
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I am not certain that I have the most recent liniage book in my room of course
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hmmm
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] but I find it hard to beleive he is really over 150 years old
[Grink (Devin)] I have two theories, although the second is seeming to make more sense than the first. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thought of them.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe the Chamberlain would know more
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Tiy saw the hall of statues behind Ilero and Androp's bedroom and by the Master's Chamber?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] (TMO says he is going for the title of most useful never appearign character)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That one had the men's statues.
[Grink (Devin)] are we assuming that the count has been handing off his title to himself for years?
[Grink (Devin)] decades even?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That could very well be.
[Grink (Devin)] The statues in the hall could tell us.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He could be his own grandfather for all we know.
[Grink (Devin)] they could also tell us if the family line is not..
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] If he was his own grandfather, would that make his mother his ?
[Grink (Devin)] well...
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] shakes his head
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs
Grink (Devin) lets the dirty thought show on his face as he grins at Toybin
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The womens' statues were supposed to be on the floor below I think.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] yes,
[Grink (Devin)] That would explain why they keep them seperate.
[Grink (Devin)] So you can't match them up.
[Master] Time of Day: 06:01 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Punishment around here is pretty severe from what we've seen and heard. Do you want to explore with Ilero perhaps while we are at dinner or wait until we are all done and it is late and I'll go with you?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If Ilero ever wakes up from his nap. That man sleeps more than anyone I have every known.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] you will need a light
[Grink (Devin)] I'd be able to explore the count's quarters during dinner. He'll be in there otherwise.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] that cannot be safe
[Grink (Devin)] safe, no. Needs to be done? yeah.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Remember there is that guard that Esmerelda ran into.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] what guard?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh, Trun said we couldn't go into the Master's Chambers and there was a guard there.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So of course teh first thing Esmerelda does is open the door to meet him.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I would not advise taking her anywhere with you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And sure enough there was a foyer and a guard who promptly threw her out again.
[Grink (Devin)] Was she able to see anything useful while she was being doltish?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She didn't say anything. Trun said he was in the foyer to the chambers.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So, if you found a secret door in the stairway, you might be able to get in through another room and miss him entirely.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] At least in that room that you would enter.
[Grink (Devin)] if I remember right, there was also a set of windows. One of them might open. The windows were on the back of the castle, I believe?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] yes
[Grink (Devin)] Or there's a door on the landing we passed in the tower.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] that was out on the walkway aroudn the castle
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I forgot about the windows!
[Grink (Devin)] If memory serves, there should be a door there based on the maps we've seen.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I do not know
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] there almost a quarter of the second floor taken up by the Master's Chambers
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] there must be at least a couple of doors in
[Grink (Devin)] (player reference: there was)
[Grink (Devin)] I'd like to go explore that tower during dinner. I can grab Illero and we can go hunt for secrets.
[Grink (Devin)] I've always liked a good secret.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Be careful. As you could tell from the village, my influence is not great here if you get caught.
[Grink (Devin)] Nobody will even know I was there.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Toybin and I will try to keep the Count in better spirits so he doesn't make an early exit from dinner tonight
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I am curiuos about one other thing
[Grink (Devin)] That would be much appreciated.
[Grink (Devin)] What'cha got Toybin?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] the audience hall
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] we have not seen that yet
[Grink (Devin)] On the first floor? or the ground floor?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] maybe at dinner or after dinner Branwyn can cajole the Count into showing us that
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] on the ground floor
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] it is right next to the large formal dining hall
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is true. We can certainly try.
[Grink (Devin)] Or... you could get mixed up on the way to dinner, and end up in the wrong place, but you'd have to do it quickly.
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] (you are on the ground floor now by teh way)
[Grink (Devin)] (TY)
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] There is the Trophy rooms also
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] we should be able to keep the Count busy for a while with those
[Grink (Devin)] Give me plenty of time to get in and out.
[Grink (Devin)] You don't happen to know if the count has any pets, do you?
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I have no clue
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] if you stay here
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Ilero can come down
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] we will be in the dining hall
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] you can go up
[Toybin of Castling (Master)] and explore
[Grink (Devin)] Give the count my regrets, and blame my own cooking, if you so desire.
[Master] OK
[Master] so we will pick that up next week?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] sounds good
[Master] I will plan things out so we can start from 7-8
[Grink (Devin)] Sure
[Master] and run till midnight
[Master] we will start at the dinner
[Master] and have two separate time tracks for the dinner and the investigators
[Lisa] tell TMO to get his butt in here
[Grink (Devin)] I'll be in Boulder, so I should be available at about 7:30 East Coast Time
[Lisa] things are starting to get interesting
[Master] and John to be extra guests to keep talking at dinner
[Master] Bill, John, TMO can have SHur there,
[Master] Marco can have Es there
[Master] Grink and Ilero skulking through the halls
[Grink (Devin)] And I think I'll be doing some map work this week, to try and figure out what I'll be looking into.
[Lisa] just don't want Grink all alone out there
[Master] just a bit of a problem with lights
[Grink (Devin)] Actually, Grink might do better alone, having severl levels of theif in him.
[Master] when you are poking around how will you see
[Lisa] remind TMO what happened to Ilero the last time we let a thief wander around by himself
[Grink (Devin)] and several useful spells to help him get out of scrapes
[Grink (Devin)] (I've been staring at my character sheet making plans all night. :P)
[Master] grins
[Grink (Devin)] I like being very inventive with magic.
[Lisa] TMO jumped into a well when he knew he couldn't swim- it was great)
[Master] and that is what the Out of Character can be for also, to put some preliminary plans together so everyone knows what everyone is capable
[Master] grins
[Master] that was fun!
[Grink (Devin)] rarely am I allowed to do what I want though.
[Master] Ilero is a thief by trade
[Master] you might never know if for the skill he shows, grins
[Master] but he does try
[Grink (Devin)] I've been thinking of Grink that way too. He just has 1 level of cleric.
[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 1'09".
[Master] Branwyn moved 1'03".
[Master] Androp Ilkep XP award: 175. Level-up!
[Master] Indigo XP award: 100. Next level in 8992.
[Master] Esmerelda XP award: 200. Next level in 28814.
[Master] Branwyn XP award: 250. Next level in 68531.
[Master] Grink XP award: 150. Next level in 0.
[Lisa] so we have a sem-plan
[Master] should be good
[Lisa] semi-plan
[Lisa] better than usual
[Master] I will go edit the log and post
[Master] you two will be able to post on the site
[Master] and come up with your own ideas
[Grink (Devin)] excelent. and I may go look into the site a bit.
[Lisa] have a safe trip back to CO
[Grink (Devin)] Will do, and I'll see you next Friday.
[Master] hope so!
[Master] night
[Lisa] goodnight!
[Devin] G'nite
