Devin is receiving the map Dungeon level two rooms...

Devin has received the map Dungeon level two rooms.

[Devin] Alllllrightythen

[Master] so

[Master] you use the curly brackets to roll

[Master] or the die panel at the top

[Devin] (p) -1

[Master] open 4d6 close

[Master] (4d6) [4d6=6,1,2,2] 11

[Devin] (4d6) [4d6=2,6,1,6] 15

[Master] there you go

[Master] now you roll six times

[Devin] 2 of those aren't bad at all....

[Master] and each one you drop the low dice

[Master] if you want to keep that you c an

[Master] will be a 14

[Devin] (4d6) [4d6=5,1,2,6] 14

[Devin] (4d6) [4d6=6,4,1,2] 13

[Devin] (4d6) [4d6=3,1,4,4] 12

[Devin] (4d6) [4d6=4,2,6,3] 15

[Devin] (4d6) [4d6=5,1,3,2] 11

[Devin] (4d6) [4d6=3,5,4,1] 13

[Devin] blech.

[Master] not horrible

[Devin] nothing bigger than 13.

[Master] 14 from teh first one

[Master] then 13

[Master] then 12

[Devin] not after you remove the die.

[Master] then 11

[Master] then 13

[Master] then 10

[Devin] 4d6, drop 1.

[Master] then 12

[Devin] right?

[Master] nods

[Devin] so, 12, 13, 11, 13, 10, 12

[Master] you can take that 14 you rolled first

[Devin] oh, and drop the 12 at the end?

[Master] nods

[Devin] I'll do that.

[Devin] no matter what, it hits all my requirements for classes (I think), but that's still eww to me.

[Devin] *shrug*

[Devin] at least I don't have a 6 in there too.

[Devin] alright, so do that once? or is there a second one and choose between?

[Devin] I'm trying to remember

[Master] now you can choose to roll the 1d4 if you want

[Master] to subtract from one to add to another

[Master] after you assign them to stats

[Master] I will put up an icon for you right now

[Devin] and elves get +1 dex, -1 con.

[Master] nods

[Devin] Str 10 Dex 13 Con 12 Int 14 Wis 13 Cha 11

[Devin] naw, swap str, and chr

[Devin] cha*

[Devin] if I roll the 4, I have to use the 4, right?

[Master] right

[Master] For Devin moved 1'06".

[Devin] exactly, not up to.

[Master] and there is an icon for you to fill in the info on

[Devin] how do I change the numbers?

[Master] first put them on your character sheet

[Master] then you roll the d4

[Master] if you want

[Devin] that's what I mean. How do I add them to the character sheet.

[Master] then you get to split the stats also

[Devin] I'm looking at it.

[Master] just type them in

[Devin] AH! Edit button.

[Master] bindo

[Master] bingo

[Devin] Alright they're in... should I include the +1, -1?

[Master] after you choose the D4 option

[Master] then you put in the racial mods like that

[Devin] *does some figures*

[Devin] What does wisdom affect again?

[Devin] I think that's what I'd pull from, is why I'm wondering.

[Master] save versus spell if you get really really low

[Devin] Wisdom is my will save...

[Devin] putting a low wis score on this could be fun.

[Master] grins

[Devin] and I'm JUST high enough for a bonus spell right now, and to avoid spell failure.

[Master] that is only for priests

[Devin] oh.

[Devin] ok.

[Devin] Well...

[Devin] (1d4) [1d4=3] 3

[Master] ok

[Devin] wis to int

[Master] so you could get a pretty high

[Master] I was goin to say Dex or Int

[Master] so now you change those scores

[Master] add in the racial mods

[Master] then fill in the split stats

[Devin] *opens the pages for the descriptions*

[Devin] so, split the stats before applying Elf?

[Master] no apply racial bonus first

[Master] then split stats

[Devin] ok.

[Master] does not really matter but is tends to be cleaner that way

[Devin] Agreed.

[Devin] Ok, all set.

[Devin] Saving Throws, yeah?

[Master] yeap

[Master] hit commit once in a while

[Master] to save your work

[Devin (to GM only)] Character sheet for For Devin modified: Ability Scores - STR: (S) : CHANGED: 11 (10). Exceptional STR: (XSTR) : CHANGED: 12 (null). STAM: (ST) : CHANGED: null (10).

Reason: (RE) : CHANGED: 18 (10). Knowledge: (KN) : CHANGED: 16 (10).

[Devin] check

[Devin] So, do I just assign the base save throws? or do I need to modify them based on skill scores?

[Devin] and... I don't think it matters, but what level am I assigning for?

[Master] base scores

[Master] 5/5

[Devin] Set

[Master] hit points

[Master] you get a6 to start with

[Master] then a 4d6 for addtional levels

[Devin] and then 1d6/level after that?

[Devin] (4d6+6) [4d6=1,5,2,4] 18

[Devin] kk.

[Master] let me look up my magic item charts

[Master] if you want to roll for those

[Devin] sure.

[Devin] I'll also have to spend some time on proficiencies.

[Devin] so I'll need to know how that works, but I've gotta look at 'em.

[Master] nods

[Master] so you have 3 rolls at 50% or less adn 1 at 30% or less

[Devin] meaning, I get to pick 4 spells? or is that spell levels?

[Devin] or... something.

[Master] no

[Master] you roll percentage

[Master] if you get low you get a magic item

[Master] then we roll which one

[Devin] ah, ok!

[Devin] (1d%) -1

[Devin] that didn't work.

[Devin] (d100) [1d100=19] 19

[Devin] Shal I roll all the %s first?

[Master] yeah

[Devin] (3d100) [3d100=36,48,36] 120 [Devin] all but the 30

[Devin] but I got damn close on that too. :P

[Master] ok

[Master] so you have three d20 now

[Devin] (3d20) [3d20=16,4,4] 24

[Master] ok

[Master] magical weapon +1

[Master] of what ever you pick

[Master] then two potions

[Master] sorry total of 4 potoins

[Devin] 2 of each, or 4 different?

[Master] Hill Giant Strength, Healing, Leviation and Animal Control

[Devin] so, no choice.

[Master] no

[Master] with the weapon yes

[Devin] its probably a stave of some sort. Either that, or a long sword. I'll look at my options.

[Master] nods

[Devin] *makes notes*

[Master] for proficiencies

[Master] you know you have a Notes tab on the character sheet

[Devin] I'm not used to having a character sheet of my own.

[Master] grins

ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED: ADDED:

[Master] you have 3 weapon slots

[Master] you have 5 non weapon slots

[Master] and you have 5 intelligence slots

[Master] so a total of 13 proficiency slots

[Master] you speak Elven

[Master] so if you want to speak Common you have to spend a slot

[Master] you need to spend a slot on reading and writing in one of the two languages

[Master] at least

[Devin] So, languages are proficiencies, and there aren't automatics at the beginning byond your local?

[Master] right

[Devin] ok, and do I get starting cash to buy equipment?

[Master] you can hanve anythign reasonable

[Master] up to three spell books

[Master] or two traveling spellbooks instead

[Devin] spell books hold how many spells?

[Master] depends

[Master] each spell takes up a semi random number of pages

[Master] Brawnyn has a good example of her spell books on the site

[Devin] ok, how many pages does a typical spellbook hold?

[Devin] and how do you determine the number of pages for the spell?

[Master] max number of pages in a spell book is 100 I think off the top of my head

[Devin] that sounds right. I'm trying to find it in the book.

[Master] each spell takes up 1 +pages

[Master] chapter 2

[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.BranwynsLibrary

[Master] spell level + 1d6-1

[Devin] and once a spell is in a book, the pages cannot be reclaimed.

[Master] right

[Devin] it looks like a spellbook is 100 pages, a travel spell book is 50 pages.

[Master] nods

[Master] spell books are more bulky obviously

[Master] is one reason Branwyn has Indigo

[Master] to carry a chest around with her spell books in it

[Devin] lol.

[Devin] I think at least 1 of them needs to be a travl book. Can I do 1 and 2? or 1 and 1?

[Master] 1 and 1 yes

[Devin] she does have a lot of books.

[Devin] then I think that's what I'll do. Although I probably won't be able to carry much more without help.

[Master] you can come in with a hench

[Devin] That would be a good thing.

[Master] he will only be 3rd level

[Devin] Do I also have to flesh him out?

[Master] yeap

[Devin] or is he just "random human with big muscles"?

[Master] you can make him that

[Master] you get to do what you wish with him

[Devin] I'll look at that, but my inclination is a fighter of some sort to defend my honor and carry my supplies.

[Devin] dumb, strong, loyal, and protective.

[Master] nods makes good sense

[Devin] And I dub him MEATSHIELD!

[Devin] anyway, I won't wory about that quite yet.

[Devin] There're things I plan on doing like making my "robe belt" a fairly long length of silk rope. The theif in me insists on it.

[Master] silk rope comes from the drow, not the Orient, just so you know

[Devin] Hrmmm.

[Devin] Well, some sort of woven rope belt that can be unraveled to get me up into a "rope trick" hiding place or something.

[Devin] and in the meantime, holds my robe closed.

[Devin] anyway, what else do I have to look at while I'm character building?

[Devin] just background and whatnot?

[Master] proficincies are the next big thing for ou

[Master] you

[Devin] I can look up height and weight rolls later.

[Master] you can make them up

[Devin] *nods*

[Master] I had great charts for that based on race, str, con, etc

[Master] but those have disapeared into the mists of old programs

[Devin] I like using the rolls 'cause it puts me in odd places sometimes, and gives me things I have to work around.

[Master] I am certain we can find something to manage that

[Master] grins

[Devin] So, I have a character started, I'll look at these things, and we can get back on here and fill in proficiencies and whatnot in the near future.

[Devin] Do you have any advice?

[Master] pick things you find intereesting

[Master] that will allow you to have a life outside of combat

[Devin] of course!

[Devin] the language proficiencies, are they int? non-weapon? any of the above?

[Master] any of the above

[Master] you can only use Wpn Prof on weapons

[Master] you can use Int slots on weapon styles, etc

[Devin] I was looking at he proficiency page the other day, I'll take a look at that again and use it to start from.

[Master] it is all laid out there

[Master] if you wanted to only know one weapon you can use the others on more non weapon things

[Master] etc

[Devin] I think I need at least 2 weapons, but I may not use the 3rd for that.

[Devin] Alright, I

[Devin] I've copied what I need out of... hold on, not quite.

[Master] smile

[Devin] Ok, now I've got it.

[Devin] so I'll work on proficiencies and gear.

[Master] and do not forget that you still have plans for dinner etc to make

[Master] on the out of character page

[Master] or in character page

[Master] for Everyone Knows

[Devin] I keep looking for that, and getting distracted on the site.

[Devin] I'll get there.

[Master] smile

[Devin (to GM only)] Character sheet for For Devin modified: Notes - ADDED.

[Devin] Alright, I have 2 laptops on my lap, and my leg is starting to go numb.

[Devin] so, I'll go with all this, and keep you up to date. We have time, but I have so much fun with this stuff.

[Master] go

[Master] very glad for that

Devin is receiving the map Temporary Guest rooms...

Devin has received the map Temporary Guest rooms.

[Devin] I am back at the keyboard.

[Devin] boo?

[Devin] *does a little dance*

[Master] chuckles

[Master] you do not have the dancing profieciency

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Devin] Then its a damn ugly dance, isn't it?

[Master] organ grinder monkeys have a better set of moves ;)

[Devin] *tries to break dance and ends up hurting himself*

[Master] I know Lisa is on her way

[Master] beyond that have not heard from anyone

[Master] but TMO did ask yesterday about updated maps

[Master] goin to start you off with your private chat before dinner starts

[Devin] Hrmmm...

[Devin] ok.

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Mar 22 19:09:17 EDT 2013

Lisa is receiving the map Temporary Guest rooms...

[Devin] in the meantime, if we so desire, I have a list of spells we could work ... nevermind, there's lisa.

Lisa has received the map Temporary Guest rooms.

[Master] I am sure she will be glad to help out with spell lists also

[Master] and hello LIsa

[Devin] well, I have the lists of what I want, and they're ordered by preference.

[Master] great

[Devin] but again, we have months still, assumed.

[Devin] I'm pretty close on proficiencies too.

[Master] nice

[Master] have to grab more drinks will be back up in a short bit

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Devin] *pours Bob a gin'n'tonic*

BiBo!!! has joined the game on Fri Mar 22 19:15:54 EDT 2013

BiBo!!! is receiving the map Temporary Guest rooms...

BiBo!!! has received the map Temporary Guest rooms.

[BiBo!!!] howdy

[BiBo!!!] Are we there yet?

[Devin] Don't make him turn this game around!

[BiBo!!!] So... thats a no.

[Devin] Mostly, its Bob who is missing.

[Devin] *shrug*

[Devin] *dances badly*

[Lisa] are we ever actually there?

[BiBo!!!] apparently not

[BiBo!!!] the journey has been so long I keep forgetting what the destination is

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] back sorry

[Master] juggling things here everyone now gone except Nyrma

[Master] for the next couple of hours

[Lisa] yay - no more family

[Lisa] for 3 hours or so anyway

[Master] grins

[Master] so you are in the guest room right now

[Master] excpet for Es

[Master] she is down in her rooms getting ready

[Master] if you want her to visit you in your rooms that is ok, but there will be a guard

[Devin] If I remember correctly, we're about to head to dinner, or play sick in some of our cases.

[BiBo!!!] :: tries to cantrip some color change in her dress::

[BiBo!!!] (1d100) [1d100=68] 68

[Lisa] not even close

[Lisa] so sad

[BiBo!!!] yep, most useless character to date

[Devin] what level is she?

[Lisa] want Bob to start misfiring your spells

[Lisa] have bizarre things happen instead of nothing

[BiBo!!!] might as well be level 0 with all the ability she has

[Lisa] she is working at disadvantage due to loss of hand

[Devin] Well, if she's level 5, she doesn't have to run checks on cantrips. I was reading that one not three days ago.

[Devin] there is that.

[BiBo!!!] yeah, its not a cantrip check, its a spellcasting check

[Master] Esmerelda will be back to normal eventually

[BiBo!!!] I have like 2% chance of success

[Devin] oooh. ok.

[Master] just takes time to relearn how to cast spells one handed

[Master] so any last minute discussion before dinner?

[Lisa] do we have to know what to do with Ilero or just decide when he arrives where he is going to be?

[Master] have not heard

[Lisa] all of a sudden Grink has a person breathing down in neck while skulking in the halls

[Lisa] or the rest of us have a new dinner guest

[Devin] either way works fo rme.

[Devin] for*

[Master] ok

[Devin] A lookout or a distraction .

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So if I just say you hurt yourself practising in the courtyard do you think that will be acceptable for your absence?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] When we have a priestess with us, it is hard to say you are hurt or ill now that I think of it.

[Master] Chard - Guard moved 1'04".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hopefully the Count will not be too disappointed.

[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 1'00".

[Master] Androp Ilkep targets Chard - Guard. Distance: 6'02"

[Master] Shurkural moved 1'05".

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] OK so then I will move everyone to the dinner point

[Master] so Devin while everyone is off to dinner

[Master] what are you going to try to do?

[Master] and when?

[Grink (Devin)] I figure I should get started early, but the first step would be to cruise up that landing and take a look around.

[Master] which landing?

[Master] trying to match up how long it takes you to get around places

[Grink (Devin)] the one that we were rushed past and didn't have a door on it.

[Master] ok

[Master] that would be Dungeon Level one

[Grink (Devin)] the basic problem is first to check that landing for doors, then hopefully get into the count's quarters, and go from there.

[Master] from counting up and down

[Grink (Devin)] can't we get to the stairs on this level?

[Master] no

[Master] you need to find a way to the tall tower

[Grink (Devin)] agreed.

[Master] you know it goes from the top to the dungeon level two

[Grink (Devin)] which means I need to remember how the map is laid out.

[Grink (Devin)] well, down to the dungeon then, and back up.

[Master] ok, so just a point for you then

[Master] you know you have to go down the main tower you normally go up and down

[Master] adn then into the guard rooms

[Master] that are the level below the ground floor

[Master] if you are going down that way

[Master] the other option is to go all the way up, then across and back down through the tower like you did last time

[Grink (Devin)] I like that better.

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Grink (Devin)] less... otice.

[Grink (Devin)] notice*

[Master] ok

[Master] so you wait till they go to dinner

[Master] let them settle in

[Master] then head up the tower

[Master] across and down

[Grink (Devin)] bingo.

[Master] and will end up on the tower stairs

[Master] what is your light source going to be?

[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] the convenient torch sconces that are always in the stairway of a count's castle

[Master] smile

[Master] there are those all over the place

[Grink (Devin)] that's a good good qustion.

[Master] they hold wooden torches that have magical light on them

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] even better

[Master] but there are none that you saw in the tall tower stairs

[Grink (Devin)] Is it a hot light?

[Master] no

[Master] cool magical glow

[Grink (Devin)] Good, I'll pick one of those up, so I can stuff it into my pack when need be.

[Master] ok

[Master] so ready for dinner?

[Grink (Devin)] I might not give it back when I'm done either.

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] What about in the winter? Is there a magical hot light spell for that?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (chop chop)

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] Why? we can make those for free

[Master] Time of Day: 06:43 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] Es has one in her backpack

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] not that she uses it much because of infravision

[Master] so in the main dining hall now

[Master] Grink is not there,

[Master] everyone else is

[Grink (Devin)] Yeah, but if I put that one in my pack, I'd lose ALL my posessions!

[Master] I will tell you Devin when you get to a point to do something and what time it is

[Count Drake (Master)] Good Evening

[Grink (Devin)] I'll be watching in the meantime and making snarky /ooc comments from time to time if the opportunity arises.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good evening, Count.

[Count Drake (Master)] I hope you have enjoyed your stay here

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "It's really big!"

[Count Drake (Master)] I was told that you have explored quite a bit

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "We were walking around all day and I dont think we have seen half of this place yet!"

[Count Drake (Master)] Thank you, I do feel that I have kept up the family home fairly well

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "How many people live in this huge place?"

[Count Drake (Master)] a couple score or more

[Chamberlain (Master)] We have a staff of 36 cooks, 24 maids, and 14 general servants here at the Master's disposal

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Wow. You could probably house a whole villiage with no problem. And it's so clean! How do you keep it clean? I have trouble keeping a 2 room house tidy."

[Chamberlain (Master)] I insist that everything is prepared and maintained to the Master's needs every day

[Chamberlain (Master)] nods at the guests, hence the unpleasant personage not being present

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And we appreciate that good Chamberlain.

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Unpleasant personage? You mean one-ear?"

[Chamberlain (Master)] I am pleased to see that you enjoyed your visit

[Chamberlain (Master)] (courses are being served as you talk)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] /looks at Count, "but you are the only Drake living here at present?"

[Count Drake (Master)] I am the only one of my family in residence at the moment

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Is it a big family?"

[Count Drake (Master)] there are other Holdings to take care of also

[Count Drake (Master)] we are a presitgious and prominent family here in the Kingdom

[Count Drake (Master)] and have been for several hundred years

Branwyn (Lisa) a little shyly, "but doesn't it get rather lonely here by yourself with only the guards and the servants?"

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "But are there many of you? Lots of brothers and sisters and cousins and whatnot?"

[Count Drake (Master)] There are many relations throughout the family

[Count Drake (Master)] and I am almost always entertaining visitors

[Count Drake (Master)] I rarely have a day or three to my self

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Family visitors or others?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is wonderful to have so many friends.

[Count Drake (Master)] I do wish they were all friends,

[Count Drake (Master)] not everyone who comes to our doors is friendly

[Count Drake (Master)] nor is everyone in teh family willing to visit

[Count Drake (Master)] but those are trifiles

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Not friendly? Do you have orcs coming to storm the castle or something?"

[Count Drake (Master)] I hear that you have a mutual aquaintence, Lord Toybin here and Misstress Branwyn

Toybin of Castling (Master) starts and looks up at Branwyn

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((havent we been seen together at our last meal?))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And who would that be?

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((oh, you mean someone else, not them))

[Count Drake (Master)] I am told that you are serving at the Jistille Estates as their court Mage

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((brb))

[BiBo!!!] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes for a few years now.

Count Drake (Master) smiles

[Count Drake (Master)] and Lord Toybin here,

[Count Drake (Master)] He has a serious interest in teh Jistille Estates does he not?

[Count Drake (Master)] The Castiling family has not had as storied a history as the Mosskins

[Count Drake (Master)] but that should not disuade one of stout heart now should it?

Toybin of Castling (Master) swallows,

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I assure you Count Drake that I have been a gentleman at all times

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I do not wish to speak for Sir Toybin, but as far as I have been able to tell, he spends most of his time at Court and infrequently favours us with his presence at Jistelle.

Branwyn (Lisa) chuckles faintly, "Oh yes, Sir Toybin is always the gentleman."

[Count Drake (Master)] Oh I know that well Misstress Branwyn

[Count Drake (Master)] I have enjoyed my encounters with Lord Toybin of Castling at Court

[Count Drake (Master)] I was there for his knighting in fact

Toybin of Castling (Master) smiles

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] It was an unexpected honor Count Drake

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I am flattered that you remember after so many years

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you often attend such things or did you make a special appearance for Sir Toybin?

[Count Drake (Master)] I was there as part of the gathering of houses to decide who should be Queen

[Count Drake (Master)] it was a dangerous time for the Kingdom with no Queen for several months

[Count Drake (Master)] we finally agreed upon Mihaela Doeskin

[Count Drake (Master)] to be the steward of the realm

[Count Drake (Master)] she knighted 14 on her second day on the throne, young Toybin was in that group

Toybin of Castling (Master) coughs

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I am sorry Count Drake

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] that was my older brother that was knighted that day

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I was knighted later on

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You must look amazingly like your brother Toybin.

Count Drake (Master) chuckes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I had no idea there were two of you.

[Count Drake (Master)] It is hard to tell them apart sometimes

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] well that is

TMO is receiving the map Temporary Guest rooms...

Guy has joined the game on Fri Mar 22 20:11:45 EDT 2013

Guy is receiving the map Temporary Guest rooms...

[Master] I will let TMO and GUy get settled in and use the restroom brb

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Considering how dashing Sir Toybin is, it is fortunate for both of them.

TMO has received the map Temporary Guest rooms.

Guy has received the map Temporary Guest rooms.

Branwyn (Lisa) gives warning look to Toybin hoping he will not correct the Count's memory of events

[TMO] what've I missed?

[Guy] ugh dont make me sick with stuff like that lisa lol

[Lisa] Grink is making his way to his sneaking expedition

[Guy] and hola

[Lisa] we are trying to keep the Count in a good mood and away from his chambers

[Lisa] Hi Guy! Just trying to make sure Count does not leave in a huff and catch Grink in bedroom.

[Lisa] TMO - you get to decide if you want to be working with Grink or at the table with us.

[Guy] meh just give the count a stake and be done with it

[TMO] probably better to have Ilero with Grink and Shur at the table shmoozing

[Lisa] lol - yes I'll just jump across table with the 3 guards and 4 servants standing there :)

[Guy] should nt be too bad since sarengar is avoiding being close to the scumsucking pig toybin

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Guy] and i had a blast last night

[TMO] quick! Stop talking about him!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what was last night?)

[Guy] fire department training

[Guy] we got to destroy a car

[Master] chuckles

[Master] not the captain'

[Master] 's right?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you are training for fire dept?)

[Guy] we ripped the doors off and cut the roof enough that we could fold it open like a tin can

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (fun stuff)

[Guy] im a proby on the fire department, its a volunteer department

[Guy] so until about august i just get to learn where everything is at and run the radio plus train

[Master] ok so Shur is at the table,

[Master] Ilero and Grink are together

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but they don't pay you to put out fires?)

[Guy] nope unfortunately

[Master] TMO you are all caught up on the conversation to this point?

[TMO] "Count, stay at the table and enjoy our witty conversation while our sneaks pilfer your bedroom"

[Guy] rofl

[TMO] actual details, not so much. ;) But I'll catch up soon enough

[Master] ok

[Master] Lisa Marco you are ready to resume?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sure)

[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((I suppose))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and TMO)

Toybin of Castling (Master) clears his throat

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I am very glad that you remember my brother being knighted that day

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles at Toybin

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] but I suspect you know that it was not me that was knighted that day

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] looking at the Count

[Count Drake (Master)] Your brother was not all bad Lord Toybin

[Count Drake (Master)] you have to remember that

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Not all bad?"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Toybin got promoted?)

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Well, THAT sounds like a secret scandal. What happened?"

[Count Drake (Master)] Lord Castling the senior

[Count Drake (Master)] he was led astray we shall say

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] He did not hold to his path

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] he brought shame to our family

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] and I have done my best to return us to the good graces of the Queen

[Count Drake (Master)] (the Count has been calling him Lord all evening make of it what you will)

[Guy] a skull and crossbones with a heart in the middle lol

[Count Drake (Master)] I was intrigued when you appeared on my doorstep

[Count Drake (Master)] Misstress Branwyn, what brings you here to visit ? Last night you said it was the Coronation?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am going to be attending and it offered a good excuse to do some travelling through Drillian.

[Count Drake (Master)] I only have one question for you Misstress Branwyn,

[Count Drake (Master)] Exactly how did you learn that there would be a coronation?

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((thats not public knowledge?))

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Count Drake (Master)] (there has been a naming ceremony announced)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] People talk. I believe it is the worst kept secret in all of Drillian.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Even the gypsies know of it.

[Count Drake (Master)] I think you mean to say that ONLY the Gypsies know it

[Guy (to BiBo!!! only)] rofl im watching one piece

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well they certainly haven't been quiet about it.

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!) (to Guy only)] isnt it AMAZING?

[Count Drake (Master)] oh I assure you they have not told just anyone

[Count Drake (Master)] it is a sign that you may know more than you seem to

[Guy (to BiBo!!! only)] just started the first episode but so far its pretty good

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And you as well.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And Lord Villmar for that matter.

[Count Drake (Master)] my family has guarded royal secrets for many centuries

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!) (to Guy only)] oh man, you havent seen anything then. I didnt even like it until maybe 5 or 10 episodes in

[Count Drake (Master)] Count Vilmar has not demonstrated that he has the best interests of the Kingdom at all times

[Count Drake (Master)] I take it you have spoken with him as well?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh yes. He was very charming in his own way.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] His citadel is quite different from your castle, but quite impressive by any means.

[Count Drake (Master)] I suppose you also visited the Finefur Estates on your travels?

[Guy (to BiBo!!! only)] the voice of luffy sounds like the same person who does the voice of naruto

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No we did not stop there but may do so on our way home if we are not called directly.

[Count Drake (Master)] I am surprised at you Lord Toybin

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!) (to Guy only)] no idea, I have only seen it in Japanese

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] If it please you Count Drake, I do not believe that the Finefur family should be included in the conversation

Count Drake (Master) raised eyebrow

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Why not?"

[Guy (to BiBo!!! only)] i only watch anime thats subtitled so the voices are in japanese

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] They were given a chance at being the Royal Consort and failed to fufill their expectations

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!) (to Guy only)] ah, well I have never seen naruto either :)

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] there is no need to revisit such issues

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!) (to Guy only)] same company though, so it is likely

[Guy (to BiBo!!! only)] i love naruto as well

[Count Drake (Master)] I would offer that dying in the Queen's bed is an excellent way of showing your loyalty

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Dying FOR your Queen should be an honor, dying because of your QUeen is a different matter

Count Drake (Master) laughs

Count Drake (Master) looks over at Branwyn

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Well, this sounds like an excellent story..."

[Guy (to BiBo!!! only)] roflmao whos the fat lady

[Count Drake (Master)] Do you believe that the priviledge of a woman wearing out her man should not be a Royal Privledge?

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!) (to Guy only)] alvita. wait until you see her later (like 80 or so episodes later)

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Thats a queen I can get behind."

[Count Drake (Master)] (for anyone trying to follow along and compare http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Drillian-History )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (was just looking for that)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Of course the Royal Privilege should extend to the bedroom. And if her man could not keep up ... well then, what happens, happens.

[Count Drake (Master)] Excellent

[Count Drake (Master)] and are you ready to keep up Misstress Branwyn?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Count, what are you suggesting?

Shurkural (TMO) listens intently...

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::whistles::

[Count Drake (Master)] I am merely speculating that you have alternative intentions for visiting here at this particular time

[Count Drake (Master)] Lord Toybin here has his own cross to bear

[Count Drake (Master)] I wonder what trials you are working on

Toybin of Castling (Master) turns red

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] blurts out, is she here?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Toybin!

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "Who?"

[Shurkural (TMO)] (the best laid plans of PCs, laid low by NPCs)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Count Drake, you know there is to be a coronation and so you must know who was chosen to be the presumptive.

Toybin of Castling (Master) looks deeply into Branwyn's eyes

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] (DOH)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You know I am Court Mage for Lord Mosskin at the Jistelle Estates and so you know I have an interest.

Count Drake (Master) looks deeply into Brawnyn's eyes

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((look away! look away!!))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (everyone gaze deeply into my eyes)

[Count Drake (Master)] (laughs)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (do I have a hypnosis spell?)

[Shurkural (TMO)] .. yes .. Master ...

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((wouldnt work on a vampire. they are immune to charm because they are undead))

[Count Drake (Master)] I will tell you that our mutal guest will be attending dinner with us in two nights

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((but they do have a charm gaze, which means you better not look in his eyes))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would enjoy that evening immensely.

[Count Drake (Master)] Good

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But we may not see her before then?

[Count Drake (Master)] you will of course need to make arrangements wih my chamberlain

[Count Drake (Master)] before

[Count Drake (Master)] thre will be an official audience

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "What is she eating before then?))

[Count Drake (Master)] among other things

[Count Drake (Master)] I will not be attending dinner tomorrow night

[Shurkural (TMO)] (my last comment was joking, btw. I forgot to put it in ( ))

[Count Drake (Master)] I will arrange for you to eat privately

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are leaving Ghostwood?

Count Drake (Master) warm smile at Branwyn

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Or we have bored you already?

[Count Drake (Master)] Oh my lovely lady you would keep a man entertained for many nights I have no doubt

Shurkural (TMO) feels totally unnecessary to this conversation.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it did take an odd turn)

[Shurkural (TMO)] (my flirting skill! It's useless!)

Branwyn (Lisa) blushes slightly

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you just arrived too late to the party)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] An official audience. I suppose we could wait for that if we must.

Branwyn (Lisa) frowns a little "I was hoping that you might be persuaded to give us a peek at your throne room after dinner."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] To complete our tour.

[Count Drake (Master)] why should we wait?

[Count Drake (Master)] let me show you right now

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and skip dessert?)

Count Drake (Master) Stands up

[Count Drake (Master)] offers his arm to Branwyn

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles and takes his arm

[Master] Branwyn and Count Drake moved 37'04".

[Master] Count Drake moved 7'08".

[Master] Branwyn moved 4'10".

Branwyn (Lisa) looks for the others to follow

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (don't leave me alone with vampire!)

Chamberlain (Master) clears this throat and frowns at anyone who attempts to stand up

Chamberlain (Master) nods to the guards

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ::of course follows the woman who is off to be alone with a vampire and thinks nothing of looking deeply into his eyes::

[Chamberlain (Master)] the guards stop Esmerelda from leaving the table

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I am wearing anti-charm ring)

[Chamberlain (Master)] (LOL she says as quickly as she can)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you shouldn't look at him)

[Master] Count Drake moved 2'07".

[Master] Count Drake targets Branwyn. Distance: 2'01"

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] "What?"

[Shurkural (TMO)] (rocks fall, everybody dies)

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((dont let him touch you either))

[Master] Branwyn and Count Drake moved 16'00".

[Master] Branwyn targets Count Drake. Distance: 2'00"

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((thats worse))

[Master] Count Drake moved 2'05".

[Count Drake (Master)] so my dear you wanted to see my seat of power?

[Master] Count Drake moved 9'02".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Of course.

Count Drake (Master) standing in front of his large chair on the dias

[Master] Branwyn moved 4'10".

[Count Drake (Master)] would you like a seat?

[Count Drake (Master)] gestures to the side chairs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we are in the throne room?)

[Count Drake (Master)] yes

[Count Drake (Master)] LIsa should be on the correct map

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (with the shadows it looks small)

[Count Drake (Master)] (no lights lit except a small one here on the dais)

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the chair and tentatively sits down

Count Drake (Master) smiles

Branwyn (Lisa) thinking maybe this was not such a good idea

[Count Drake (Master)] that is where my sister sat when she was here

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

Count Drake (Master) cocks his head

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is an honoured place then.

[Count Drake (Master)] now I will have to leave you, do not be alarmed, I will see you at the next dinner, and wear the blue it makes your eyes stand out

[Master] Branwyn moved 3'03".

[Master] POOOOOOOF

[Master] with a bit of smoke

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But?

[Master] he disapears

[Master] and Branwyn is left sitting on the side chair on the dais alone in the room in the dark

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That was very strange.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But at least I am still alive.

[Master] and pause

[Master] over to Ilero and Grink

[Master] you both manage to sneak into the main tower

[Master] there are many servants around

[Master] I want you both to roll your hide in shadows checks

Lisa is receiving the map Temporary Guest rooms...

[Grink (Devin)] wait... my turn?

[Grink (Devin)] yay!

Lisa has received the map Temporary Guest rooms.

[Lisa] All targets for Count Drake removed.

[Grink (Devin)] Grink: Hide in Shadows check:(d100) [1d100=28] 28 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 35!!

[Master] ok

[Master] next time make that roll to the DM only please

[Master] and TMo?

[Master] for Ilero?

[Grink (Devin)] how... do I do that?

[Grink (Devin)] this is an unknown thing to me.

[Shurkural (TMO)] (k, one sec)

[Grink (Devin)] found it.

TMO is receiving the map Guest Rooms...

TMO has received the map Guest Rooms.

[Master] smiles at Devin

[Master] so you made your observation roll I see

[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: Hide in Shadows check:(d100) [1d100=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 45!!

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] I wish klooge would give some notification to the player when he rolls to dm only so at least he knows the button worked

[Ilero (TMO)] roll sent, hopefully made

[Master] I will tell you if you don't

[Grink (Devin)] I had to take 10 on it.

[Master] so Ilero and Grink start up the tower stairs

[Master] they go up one level

[Master] then see a group of servants coming up with food trays

[Master] they scurry up two levels quickly

[Master] and manage to avoid them totally

[Master] you make it up to the wall

[Master] you move along the walkway

[Master] and then you get to the guard post on the top of the tower before you come to the Tall Tower

[Ilero (TMO)] (how hard to sneak past it?)

[Grink (Devin)] (Am I supposed to be seeing this on a map?)

[Master] Guard #9 moved 5'08".

[Master] the two of you come out to the top of the tower and are on the walkway to the tall tower

Lisa is receiving the map Tower 5...

Lisa has received the map Tower 5.

[Master] there is a guard there at the doorway as expected

[Master] what do you do?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (if you click on your characters' names you will go to the map that Bob has your icon on)

[Grink (Devin)] (more new information, awesome!

[Grink (Devin)] )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I just clicked on Grink)

[Grink (Devin)] (thank you Lisa)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not a problem)

[Master] Time of Day: 07:29 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.

[Ilero (TMO)] (is there any place in the room viable for hiding?)

[Ilero (TMO)] (or do we have to go over the side?)

[Master] here on the tower top yes, on the walkway over? no

[Master] do you want to see an outside view of where you are?

[Ilero (TMO)] (please)

[Ilero (TMO)] (got it)

[Grink (Devin)] (We are on the top level, so out in the open

[Grink (Devin)] )

[Grink (Devin)] ?)

[Master] yes

[Grink (Devin)] ?*)

[Master] you have not been seen by the guard yet that you can tell

[Master] he is still standing in that alcove in front of the door

Lisa is receiving the map Tower 5...

Lisa has received the map Tower 5.

[Grink (Devin)] (Is he asleep?)

[Master] no

[Grink (Devin)] (Or does he look alert?)

[Master] he looks bored

[Ilero (TMO)] (night or daylight out?)

[Master] night

[Master] sunset was just after 630 when dinner started

[Master] it is now almost 730

[Master] by the time you make it past the servants and up to the top of the tower

[Master] as far as you can tell they are still deep in conversatoin in the dinning hall

[Ilero (TMO)] (run my hand over the wall next to me. Smooth? Or decent cracks to try and grab onto?)

[Grink (Devin)] (My temptation is to throw something over the side that'll make noise, make him look, and try and sneak past him... or draw him out to the other edge of the tower we're on)

Devin is receiving the map Tower 5...

[Master] fairly smooth, but maybe grips where the mortar joins are

Devin has received the map Tower 5.

[Ilero (TMO)] (after all, it's not as if this is the outer wall that needs to be really good at keeping thieves out. Anybody gets to here has already passed most of the defenses)

[Grink (Devin)] (Did we manage to grab one or more of those torches on our way here?)

[Master] not yet

[Master] all the torches you saw were in sconces

[Ilero (TMO)] (good. They'd be kind of a dead giveaway right here)

[Master] make a wisdom check

[Grink (Devin)] (Not from inside a bag, or down a pant leg)

[Guy (to BiBo!!! only)] starting episode 3 and its just getting better and better lol

[Ilero (TMO)] (you put lit torches down your pants? You're tough...)

[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: WIS check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Grink (Devin) (to GM only)] Grink: WIS check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Ilero (TMO)] (secret wisdom roll sent)

[Grink (Devin)] (They don't produce heat. We had this conversation before you got here. Its magical fire)

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!) (to Guy only)] It does that. It's funnier if you understand the japanese though because they do a lot of puns.

[Grink (Devin)] (And also sent)

[Master] so you both are lamenting that you had to sneak past the sconces without being able to snatch a torch

[Ilero (TMO)] (ah. pardon my ignorance)

[Grink (Devin)] (Do we have anything to throw?)

[Master] nothing significant

[Grink (Devin)] (non-weapons, preferably)

[Master] you have no weapons

[Ilero (TMO)] (rough estimate of chance to move along the outer wall of the walkway with our hands along the top of the wall without being seen?)

[Guy] we need to find devil fruit lol

[Ilero (TMO)] (not sure how well I described that)

[Master] well over 50% to go hand over hand along the outside of the wall and avoide being seen by anyone on the walkway

[Ilero (TMO)] (do we have any of our tools? can't remember if I had climbing tools in my inv or not)

[Master] you have your normal gear, your lock picks, etc

[Grink (Devin)] (My inventory is pretty blank. I know I've been told I have lock picks, but that's about it)

[Master] but not climbing gear

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (didn't you lose all that down the well?)

[Ilero (TMO)] (I own a pair of clawed gloves)

[Grink (Devin)] (Do I recognise this guard?)

[Ilero (TMO)] (some of it, but I think I kept the gloves)

[Master] no

[Grink (Devin)] (Or... can I tell?)

[Master] to recognizing guard

[Ilero (TMO)] (I should go back over that adventure and see what I lost. not sure if I deleted them from inv)

[Grink (Devin)] (Well... they know me as a cleric... maybe I should just TALK my way past him?)

[Ilero (TMO)] (do you think you can manage that? o_O)

[Master] grins

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you guys aren't prisoners like Indigo and Es)

[Grink (Devin)] (If I'm just going up to get a better view of the country side on a clear night... you don't think he'd fall for it?)

[Ilero (TMO)] (best bet might be along the outside of the wall, but not a lot of safety gear, or ... safety.)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (think you might be okay)

[Grink (Devin)] (No, we're not, but for some reason we're sneaking...)

[Grink (Devin)] (He is bored... he might like the conversation)

[Ilero (TMO)] (did we have to break any rules to get here?)

[Grink (Devin)] (I don't believe so)

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((who knows? we were never given any))

[Grink (Devin)] (Which is why I'm wondering why we were sneaking)

[Ilero (TMO)] (habit?)

[Grink (Devin)] (Except that I'm supposed to be in my room, sick)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we were allowed in this area)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you got better)

[Grink (Devin)] ("I thought the night air and a walk would do me some good. I was wondering if I could go up for the view.")

[Grink (Devin)] (How good is my bluff?) *goes to look*

Ilero (TMO) whispers, 'How good you act sick? Draw guard here wit' cough and wheeze, talk about how room too stifling and hot, come up here for air. Hye sneak by while he talk wit' you. Not sure how you get past t'ough."

[Guy (to BiBo!!! only)] "die!" "dont wanna" rofl

Grink (Devin) nods at Ilero, then twists his robes up a bit, so they're not quite on striaght.

[Ilero (TMO)] "Not sure if splitting up good idea."

[Grink (Devin)] "Just get out of sight on the other side, and wait. I'll be there in a moment."

[Grink (Devin)] (Lets do this thang)

Ilero (TMO) nods. "Hokay. I hide in arrow hole ofer t'ere."

Grink (Devin) nods. "Probably should get out of sight, so I can draw him out here."

Ilero (TMO) hides behind the staircase wall, and will move around it as the guard comes over to meet Grink)

TMO is receiving the map Tower 5...

TMO has received the map Tower 5.

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 15'05".

Grink (Devin) lets out a cough and starts shuffling toward the door to the taller tower.

[Grink (Devin)] Grink moved 13'00".

Guard #9 (Master) looks up at the person shuffling along but does not move from doorway

[Grink (Devin)] Grink moved 8'08".

[Ilero (TMO)] (that's not fair!! :P)

[Grink (Devin)] "Oh, Hello." Looking at the guard, "I thought I'd be alone up here."

[Ilero (TMO)] (It's in the Guard Handbook: When you see a sick person, you're supposed to abandon your post to go talk to them.)

[Guard #9 (Master)] There are always guards about, are you ok?

[Grink (Devin)] "Oh, I'll be fine. I wasn't feeling too terribly well for dinner, but thought the night air would help. Wanted to get out in the open for a bit. It IS an amazing view. You must quite enjoy guard duty up here."

[Grink (Devin)] Grink moved 11'03".

[Guard #9 (Master)] I do like it out on the walkways

[Guard #9 (Master)] much better than in the dungeons with those filthy prisoners

[Guard #9 (Master)] not sure why they keep them, just toss them off the tower if you ask me

[Grink (Devin)] "Oh, don't be so harsh. They may have made some mistakes, but I doubt you're perfect either. They're serving their time, and hopefully learning a lesson from it."

[Grink (Devin)] "Have you ever taken the time to just look at the valley?"

[Grink (Devin)] Grink moved 4'08".

[Guard #9 (Master)] I don't think the Captain of the Guard would be so forgiving as those people's master seem to be

[Guard #9 (Master)] I like the hills

[Guard #9 (Master)] I imagine looking for gold in them

TMO is receiving the map birds eye view from drawbridge...

[Master] and grin needs to make a surprise roll

TMO has received the map birds eye view from drawbridge.

[Master] grink

[Master] d12

[Grink (Devin)] "Where would you look for gold out here?"

TMO is receiving the map Tower 5...

TMO has received the map Tower 5.

[Grink (Devin)] Does alertness make a difference?

[Grink (Devin)] Roll #1: (d12) [1d12=5] 5

[Master] yes

[Master] make an alertness check also

[Grink (Devin) (to GM only)] Grink: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Master] very good

[Grink (Devin)] Sent

[Master] so Grink is out on the walkway

[Master] he suddenly spots out of the corner of his eye a cloud of flying creatures heading his way, your optoins are to go forward to where the guard it or to retreat

[Grink (Devin)] And?... *braces*

[Master] what do you do?

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((flying monkeys!!))

[Grink (Devin)] Go forward. The shelter is at the door.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol - just what I was thinking)

[Master] Grink moved 18'02".

[Master] Grink targets Guard #9. Distance: 1'02"

[Grink (Devin)] "Wha- What're those?" *pointing*

[Master] the guard raises his sword as Grink rushes forward

[Master] Grink needs to make a dex check

[Grink (Devin) (to GM only)] Grink: DEX check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Grink (Devin)] Hey, look at that, I DO have an acting skill.

[Grink (Devin)] and dex sent.

[Grink (Devin)] I think.

[Master] Grink DUCKS into the alcove with the guard, avoiding hitting the upraised sword

[Master] then a cloud of what look to be huge mosquitos, (stirges) flys by

[Master] there must be 20 or more of them

[Master] they are circling around the tower

[Master] Ilero you easily spot them there

[Master] what do you do?

[Ilero (TMO)] (retire and go open an inn somewhere peaceful? Is that an option?)

[Master] and Ilero spend the rest of his days mopping up vomit

Ilero (TMO) with duck-walk over to the corner of the walkway so he can see and hear Grink better, without being visible from the tower (or stirges).

[Grink (Devin)] (I guess I'm on my own for this whole search thing then, huh?

[Ilero (TMO)] (will)

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 17'10".

[Master] no way to avoid stirges if you are on the tower

[Master] you can go down stairs again

[Master] or across to where Grink is

[Ilero (TMO)] (oh, *my* tower? Thought you meant the tall one)

Ilero (TMO) duck-runs across walkway to Grink and guard.

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 32'03".

[Master] Grink, Ilero and Guard #9 moved 7'07".

[Master] the guard opens the door

[Master] lets the two of you in

[Master] and then keeps the door partway open

[Master] looking out

[Guard #9 (Master)] Damn pests

[Grink (Devin)] "Thank you! What are they? They do look like nasty beasts."

[Guard #9 (Master)] we need to get another prisoner and stake him out in the courtyard

[Guard #9 (Master)] give them something to feed on

[Guard #9 (Master)] are you two staying here?

[Guard #9 (Master)] if you want to go down you can use the other stairs or stay here till they leave

[Grink (Devin)] "I'm not going back out THERE if that's what you're asking."

[Grink (Devin)] "I was considering going up to the other tower... but I don't think I'll attempt that now either. So much for night air."

[Grink (Devin)] "What about you Ilero. I wasn't exactly expecting to see YOU here."

[Ilero (TMO)] T'ank you. Hye just try to keep eye on sicko here, make sure he not do somet'ing stupid in fever, and nearly get eated by big bugs.

[Grink (Devin)] "Oh, so I'm being followed now? What friends."

[Ilero (TMO)] Sicko leave bed wit' no word to no one? Yes, you being followed.

Grink (Devin) sighs. "Well, it looks like we're in your room, mr... um... I'm afraid I didn't catch your name. Anyway, we should take off, let you have your space back."

[Master] well if you are going to go down those stairs,

[Master] be careful

[Master] when you get to the bottom if you call out the guards will come get you

[Ilero (TMO)] .. not more bugs, no?

[Grink (Devin)] "Oh? Where do the stairs let out?"

[Master] all the way down in the bottom of the dungeons

[Guard #9 (Master)] if you are all teh way down there there is no way out

[Guard #9 (Master)] unless a guard comes and gets you

[Ilero (TMO)] Is up anyt'ing interesting, or just watchtower?

[Grink (Devin)] "Harumph. Call out I will then. Now, why would you make a tower with no exits? Interesting."

[Guard #9 (Master)] the exits are for gaurds

[Guard #9 (Master)] be careful, you can get hurt if you go out where you are not supposed to

[Ilero (TMO)] Sicko may get hurt already. I no like big bugs.

[Grink (Devin)] "C'mon, Ilero. After that little fright, I should get back to bed anyway. Does this thing let out BEFORE the dungeon? I'd prefer not to go down there if I don't have to."

[Guard #9 (Master)] no

[Guard #9 (Master)] you can stay here and go back when they leave

[Guard #9 (Master)] they will not stay for too long if there is no food

[Grink (Devin)] "I'll muddle through. I really should get back to bed. Thank you for your assistance, and I do appologize for startling you."

Grink (Devin) starts shuffling again, this time for the stairs.

[Grink (Devin)] Grink moved 14'11".

Ilero (TMO) nods and follows. "T'ank you. Hye kick him back to bed, or maybe rack in dungeon."

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 15'04".

[Master] he lets the two of you go down the stairs

[Master] how far down do you want to go?

[Grink (Devin)] the blank landing was just 2 levels down, right? or was it 1?

[Master] 5

[Ilero (TMO)] (doesn't sound like we have a choice, but I think listening and maybe peeking through keyholes along the way is a good option)

[Master] it is 1 up from the very bottom

[Master] and you have no light source

[Grink (Devin)] (Not where I rememberd it, but that's where I'd like to look... )

Grink (Devin) looks at the guard. "Are these stairs lit? Those others were a bit dim."

[Ilero (TMO)] (makes one wish they had night-vision, observation, alertness and tumbling. Oh wait... I do!)

[Master] you need to have a torch?

[Grink (Devin)] I'm sure I could find my way without one, but it'd be mighty helpful.

[Esmerelda (BiBo!!!)] ((sorry, I gotta go. have fun sneaking through the castle!))

[Grink (Devin)] (Have a good night!)

[Guard #9 (Master)] I do not have an extra torch,

BiBo!!! has left the game on Fri Mar 22 22:03:23 EDT 2013

[Grink (Devin)] Muddle it is then. Thank you!

[Grink (Devin)] (Searches are NOT going to be easy. Unless fairie Fire helps)

[Master] so how do you wan to proceed?

[Master] just go down the stairs in the dark?

[Ilero (TMO)] How good you go go down stairs in dark?

[Master] will be slower but you can get it done with Ilero in the lead

Ilero (TMO) grins. "Last one to bottom wit'out fall buys next drinks."

Grink (Devin) hands Ilero a copper. "That should pay for it."

[Grink (Devin)] (I think we go, and just see what happens.)

[Ilero (TMO)] Spoil sport. Hokay, just follow close. Say if hye go too fast.

[Grink (Devin)] (We can always claim we got lost in the dark when we stumble out in the wrong place... IF we stumble out in the wrong place)

Grink (Devin) follows illero, hand on his shoulder.

[Master] ok

Grink (Devin) and 'searching' as best as I can with no light.

Ilero (TMO) goes down steps evenly, dragging his right hand across the outside wall, feeling for corners and doors.

[Master] you head down one level

[Master] then another

[Master] you are pretty confident that those are Toybin's and Branwyn's chambers

[Master] then you go down

[Master] down

[Master] down

[Ilero (TMO)] no doors along the way?

[Master] none

[Ilero (TMO)] drat. had a good line

[Grink (Devin)] (rofl)

[Master (to GM only)] Count Drake moved 7'00".

[Master (to GM only)] Count Drake targets Ilero. Distance: 3'07"

Devin is receiving the map dungeon level one west...

Devin has received the map dungeon level one west.

[Count Drake (Master)] Can I hlpe you?

Lisa is receiving the map dungeon level one west...

[Grink (Devin)] (oh.... THANKS)

Lisa has received the map dungeon level one west.

[Ilero (TMO)] Maybe... what hlpe mean?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (wow)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (they didn't even get a chance to be sneaky)

[Grink (Devin)] "Uh, maybe. We seem to have gotten lost."

[Count Drake (Master)] I am certain that you are

[Ilero (TMO)] How we get lost? Guard say take stairs down. We take stairs down and down and down. And down some more.

[Count Drake (Master)] I think that you are lost because you do not want to end up where you are going

[Grink (Devin)] "Well, *I* am certainly lost. I can't see a thing!"

[Ilero (TMO)] Sound like story of my life..

[Count Drake (Master)] perhaps if you return up to the

[Count Drake (Master)] WHOOOSH and a light comes up

[Ilero (TMO)] ('scuse me while I cry from the sudden overloading of mine eyeballs..)

[Grink (Devin)] (Yeah, I was thinking similar... but it was a little more elegant, along the lines of "ow! ow! ow! my eyes!"

[Grink (Devin)] )

[Count Drake (Master)] so now that you can see

[Count Drake (Master)] perhaps you should return up to your Mistresses chambers

[Count Drake (Master)] and wait for her there

[Ilero (TMO)] (you said we didn't feel any doors, right?)

[Grink (Devin)] I thought there were only 2 exits to this thing. And there's a guard shack at the top.

[Count Drake (Master)] (right)

[Grink (Devin)] That's what we were told at least.

[Count Drake (Master)] You are mistaken

[Count Drake (Master)] your Mistress is on the floor just under Lord Toybin

[Ilero (TMO)] (do we know who we're talking to?)

[Count Drake (Master)] I suggest you return to yoru Mistresses chambers and wait for her there

[Count Drake (Master)] (yes)

[Ilero (TMO)] (didn't know if we'd met him or not)

[Grink (Devin)] I do understand that, sir. I just don't know how to get there, except by going down and out.

[Grink (Devin)] Or... by getting eaten by a bunch of huge bugs.

[Grink (Devin)] and that's not a particularly appealing choice, although it'd be an interesting experience.

[Count Drake (Master)] you go up

[Count Drake (Master)] and you will find her chambers

[Grink (Devin)] Can we take the light with us?

[Count Drake (Master)] I do believe you will find them more comfortable than the ones below

Count Drake (Master) smiles

[Count Drake (Master)] of course,

[Grink (Devin)] Oh, agreed! I've never been a fan of dungeons.

Count Drake (Master) hands you the small coin he has i his hand

Ilero (TMO) shrugs. "Hokay. T'ank you, Sir. Sorry to bot'er you."

[Count Drake (Master)] in his hand

[Grink (Devin)] You are quite grateous, Count. I appreciate your assistance.

Ilero (TMO) sighs and looks at the long stairs going up...

[Grink (Devin)] C'mon, Ilero. Lets go figure out where we're SUPPOSED to end up.

[Grink (Devin)] (up, up and away!)

[Grink (Devin)] (I do believe we are getting our workout today.)

Devin is receiving the map Tower 3...

[Ilero (TMO)] You supposed to be in bed, and hye make sure you stay t'ere if'n hye have to break your leg.

Devin has received the map Tower 3.

[Master] Time of Day: 08:42 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.

[Master] and jumping back

[Master] Branwyn has been alone in the throne room for 5 - 10 minutes now

[Master] what do you want to do?

Lisa is receiving the map entrance hall...

[Ilero (TMO)] (she wants a mirror and makeup)

Lisa has received the map entrance hall.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and the only light is near the thrones?)

[Master] nods

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (how is that area lit?)

Devin is receiving the map entrance hall...

[Master] yes

Devin has received the map entrance hall.

TMO is receiving the map entrance hall...

TMO has received the map entrance hall.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that was not a yes/no question)

[Master] grins

[Master] that is how it is lit, thre is a soft glow of light in that area

[Master] it does not light up the rest of the throne room

[Master] you would have to step into the darkness to leave the room

[Master] or ?

[Ilero (TMO)] (pfft. A fireball would make plenty of light)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (depending on whether I can want to cast a light spell)

[Master] you can cast it, what do you want to cast it on?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that is what I am mulling)

[Master] that is if you have it memorized, grins

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (done)

[Master] brb door, people coming back

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I am at fancy dinner in castle - don't think I am carrying a purse)

[Grink (Devin)] (I saw a couple spells that could solve that.)

[Grink (Devin)] (Deeppockets anyone?)

Branwyn (Lisa) looks around the lighted area for something small and not valuable

[Grink (Devin)] (or Item)

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] back

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Master] and?

[Master] what are you looking for?

[Master] nothign small in this area

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (fine)

[Master] only the three large chairs, almost not quite thrones

[Ilero (TMO)] (cast it on the throne and toss it as far as you can)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Detect Secret Passages and Portals: I can search (9) 9 10'x10' areas. If they contain any secret doors or passages they glow for a turn.

[Master] all three chairs glow

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And look at that.

Branwyn (Lisa) stands up and tries to move one of the side chairs

[Master] the right arm opens up

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 2'07".

Branwyn (Lisa) looks inside

[Master] a wand inside

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Ohhh. I want it.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No.

Branwyn (Lisa) closes arm of chair

Branwyn (Lisa) tries to move center chair

[Master] again the right arm

Branwyn (Lisa) peeks inside

[Master] a small pouch

[Master] and a dagger

Branwyn (Lisa) looks to see what kind of dagger

[Ilero (TMO)] (apparently we're a bad influence)

[Master] sharp steel blade

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what is this - tempt Branywn with things she likes chairs?)

Branwyn (Lisa) looks over her shoulder for a second and then looks inside pouch

[Master] save versus poison

[Branwyn (Lisa)] dammit

[Ilero (TMO)] (not a good enough influence, apparently)

[Ilero (TMO)] (paranoia!!! Learn it!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Paralysis, Poison or Death save: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL FAILED against 13!!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (off with her hand)

[Ilero (TMO)] (you just never learn... :P)

[Master] Branwyn's right hand turns red, like it is dripping blood

Branwyn (Lisa) closes arm with other hand

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is it dripping or just looks like it?)

[Master] red pooling towards her finger tips

[Master] looks like blood will come out of her finger tips

Branwyn (Lisa) looks down at dress, frowns and then sticks fingers in her mouth

[Master] dry

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yum?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (did I get to see what was in pouch anyway?)

[Master] apparently some sort of powder

[Ilero (TMO)] (you know how they always show dealers and police testing the powdery substance with their gums? That's not really a good idea in real life)

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at third chair and shakes her head, "It's not like he has Wilamina stashed in there anyway"

[Guy] take everything and leave

Branwyn (Lisa) cantrips a little light into the palm of her hand to guide her toward the door

[Guy] or at least take the dagger and wand

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (are you crazy?)

[Guy] i play D&D with bob and youre gonna ask that question? lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (anything else in the room light up?)

[Master] nope

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (get me out of here)

[Master] how do you want to leave?

[Master] are you going to step out into the darkness?

[Master] or?

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I cantripped a little light)

[Master] ok

[Master] a little light near your hand

[Master] you want to go to the door you came in?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not enough to light up the room but should be enough so I don't break my neck)

[Master] Branwyn moved 19'10".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes please)

[Master] Branwyn moved 13'10".

[Master] Ilero moved 17'11".

[Master] Grink moved 17'03".

[Master] Time of Day: 08:58 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.

[Master] so Grink and Ilero are in Branwyn's chambers

Branwyn (Lisa) hiding hand in folds of dress

[Master] Branwyn comes back to the main dining hall

[Master] Shur looks at her

[Master] it has been almost a half hour that she has been gone

[Master] Branwyn moved 17'01".

[Shurkural (TMO)] Everything alright, sugar? You been gone a long time.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well that was interesting. I think I want to go with Indigo and Esmerelda back to their rooms to see what they look like before bed.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Everything was great. The Count had some business to attend to so he had to leave.

[Chamberlain (Master)] if you would like an escort to your rooms I can arrange that

Chamberlain (Master) nods at the guards

[Chamberlain (Master)] do you truely want to go down to the dungeon?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes it will be nice to see where Indigo is staying and see Koorin too. It will just be for a minute or two,

[Chamberlain (Master)] very well

[Chamberlain (Master)] gestures to teh guard

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you.

[Chamberlain (Master)] please escort Misstress Branwyn to the dungeons

[Master] Trun - guard moved 11'11".

[Master] Intron - Guard moved 26'04".

[Master] Intron - Guard targets Chard - Guard. Distance: 2'11"

[Master] Koorin moved 13'05".

[Master] Indigo moved 14'11".

[Master] Trun - guard moved 10'01".

[Master] Branwyn moved 19'02".

[Shurkural (TMO)] You want one of us with you, honey?

Lisa is receiving the map Dungeon level two rooms...

Lisa has received the map Dungeon level two rooms.

[Indigo (Lisa)] The rooms really aren't that bad. Not sure they're worth a special trip though.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you want to come, I wouldn't mind.

[Master] Indigo moved 23'11".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I just don't want to ignore Koorin for so long.

[Master] Branwyn moved 31'05".

[Master] Esmerelda moved 58'08".

[Master] Shurkural moved 38'09".

[Master] the guards let you into the room area and leave you tehre, waiting by the door for you to leave

[Master] Intron - Guard moved 14'08".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Go get Koorin Indigo. Hurry

Branwyn (Lisa) pulls hand out from her dress

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (still bloody red?)

[Master] nods

[Indigo (Lisa)] What did the Count do to you?!?

[Master] Koorin is not to be found

[Indigo (Lisa)] KOORIN!

Indigo (Lisa) runs around to the kitchen

[Indigo (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 2'04".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 35'10".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Where could she be?

[Master] Indigo have alertness?

[Master] or observatoin?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no)

[Shurkural (TMO)] (I keep flashing back to an online comic I read where one of the PCs just got turned into a vampire)

Branwyn (Lisa) rubs hand to see if anything changes

[Master] nothing

[Master] Indigo searches the rooms and Koorin is not to be found

[Master] Time of Day: 09:23 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (there is a cantrip for color that says will work on skin and must be renewed every 30 days - possible solution?)

[Master] nods

[Shurkural (TMO)] (possible coverup... solution to poison, probably not so much. ;) Been nice knowin' ya!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I don't feel anything different though - just have a red hand, correct?)

[Master] at this point yes

[Shurkural (TMO)] (amusingly enough, the trope for villains with distinctive physical defects that show they are villains is Red Right Hand)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (well if you have made Koorin disappear then there is no point being here)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (back to my room)

[Master] Shurkural moved 37'09".

Branwyn (Lisa) hides hand in dress again

[Master] Intron - Guard moved 22'02".

[Master] Trun - guard moved 29'00".

[Master] Shurkural moved 18'00".

[Master] Branwyn moved 46'07".

[Master] Intron - Guard and Branwyn moved 39'04".

[Master] Intron - Guard targets Rando. Distance: 3'01"

[Master] Branwyn moved 6'10".

[Master] Branwyn targets Rando. Distance: 2'00"

[Master] Branwyn moved 15'01".

[Master] Branwyn targets Count Drake. Distance: 3'01"

[Master] Branwyn no longer targets Rando.

[Count Drake (Master)] Hello,

[Count Drake (Master)] sorry I had to leave so suddenly

[Master] Intron - Guard moved 50'07".

[Master] Intron - Guard no longer targets Rando.

[Master] Rando moved 52'10".

[Master] Rando targets Shurkural. Distance: 4'10"

[Master] Rando targets Intron - Guard. Distance: 2'01"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hello.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I was just seeing Indigo and Esmerelda off to their rooms and was heading to mine.

[Count Drake (Master)] very well, have a good night, I do hope you are enjoying your stay,

[Count Drake (Master)] I wanted to ask earlier,

[Count Drake (Master)] just how long do you plan on staying here in my home?

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "I suppose until we have what we came for or you send us away."

Count Drake (Master) leans in close and whispers

[Count Drake (Master)] or until I get what I want from you

[Count Drake (Master)] then he straightens up

[Count Drake (Master)] bows

Branwyn (Lisa) looks astonished

[Count Drake (Master)] until we see you again

Shurkural (TMO) is definitely redundant.

[Master] Count Drake moved 25'04".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But what could I possibly?

[Guy] he needs to be staked

[Count Drake (Master)] and goes otu the scret door

[Master] and branwyn can make a surprise rool

[Master] roll

[Master] along with Ilero and Grink

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (like I need another surprise)

[Master] d12's all around

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (d12 or 20?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d12) [1d12=4] 4

[Grink (Devin)] Alertness?

[Master] nods

[Grink (Devin)] Roll #1: (d12) [1d12=11] 11

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero [1d12]: (1d12) [1d12=10] 10

[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 12!!

[Master] so Ilero and Grink are standing there in the sitting room

Lisa is receiving the map Tower 3...

Lisa has received the map Tower 3.

[Master] when the door behind them opens

[Master] they look back

[Ilero (TMO)] (we never were very good at following instructions)

[Grink (Devin) (to GM only)] Ilero: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

[Master] Branwyn STARTS

[Master] stifles a screams

[Grink (Devin)] wait... that's not grink.

Devin is receiving the map Tower 3...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] What are you doing in my room?

Devin has received the map Tower 3.

[Master] and sees Ilero and Grink standing in her room

[Grink (Devin) (to GM only)] Grink: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You nearly scared me to death.

[Master] Time of Day: 09:41 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.

[Ilero (TMO)] You ordered massage, yes?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Very funny.

Grink (Devin) gives Ilero a funny look. Well, we had an interesting adventure.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Actually not so funny. The Count has been appearing and disappearing on me all evening

[Grink (Devin)] Us too.

[Ilero (TMO)] We get into tall tower, follow stairs to dungeon, then Count send us back up here.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He caught you?

[Grink (Devin)] He found us down on the first basement level.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Count sent you here?

[Grink (Devin)] to "Our mistresses rooms"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh no.

[Ilero (TMO)] Hye not correct him.

[Grink (Devin)] "oh no"?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] At least it was only in the stairway.

[Grink (Devin)] So... we didn't exactly find anything we didn't know already... except that there's a door on the first dungeon level.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He was with me and then he suddenly left. It seems he went to see you. So he kknows where we are all the time.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We'll never be able to get anything done.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And ... look at this

[Ilero (TMO)] We ain't got much done anyways, no?

[Master] I will let Bran make a Int check

Branwyn (Lisa) pulls hand out from her dress

[Grink (Devin)] Is it bleeding?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: INT check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Grink (Devin)] (If I read correctly, that's what it looks like, yeah?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No. It just looks like it.

[Grink (Devin)] He gave us this.

Grink (Devin) shows Bran the coin

[Master] Branwyn knows there is a spell of Guards and Wards where you can set up doors or areas that trigger alarms if someone enters them

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And right after it happened the Cout shows up again in the dungeons.

[Master] anyone with observation for the coin

[Grink (Devin) (to GM only)] Grink: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 9!!

[Grink (Devin)] sent

[Master] Grink pauses as he holds out the coin

[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Master] looks at it again

[Master] then Ilero reaches over to look at it

[Master] they look at each other

[Ilero (TMO)] and it explodes

[Master] then up at Branwyn

[Master] Grink points at the date on the coin

[Master] 241

[Grink (Devin)] This thing is 101 years old?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm not surprised. Old family, old money.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not sure why he was handing it out to you though.

[Grink (Devin)] I get more and more of a sense that its not "old family" but "old count".

[Grink (Devin)] He put a light spell on it so we could see.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (except he heard Ilero says a coin from the last one down)

[Ilero (TMO)] (anything interesting about picture, name or text on coin?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (or drinks rather and Grink gave him a coin)

[Master] face of a queen on on side

[Master] the other is the year and an image of a mace

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I took it to mean that he was listening to you the whole time)

[Ilero (TMO)] (I hadn't made that connection.)

[Grink (Devin)] (Since I'm not even sure what it is, would Heraldry help with any of this?)

[Master] yes

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Grink (Devin) (to GM only)] Grink: Heraldry check: (d20) [1d20=19] 19 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Grink (Devin)] Did it work?

[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Master] Grink cannot remember anything about a mace and drillian

[Master] Ilero scuffs the coin a bit and thinks it is tarnished gold

[Grink (Devin)] So, apparently he has our number. What do we do next? And what's to say he's not listening now?

[Master] Branwyn can tell you that the spell she is thinking of does only some areas

[Master] this castle is far too huge to cover all the areas

[Master] so there must be specific areas that are guarded or warded

[Master] not that it says he is not listenign to you now

[Ilero (TMO)] Absolutely not'ing. He suspicious and powerful and in his own castle. We at big disadvantage.

[Guy] well folks im off to bed i forgot games going later for all you west coasters :P lol

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Ilero (TMO)] :)

[Master] have a good night Guy

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (goodnight)

[Grink (Devin)] (Sleep well)

[Ilero (TMO)] (cya)

[Guy] i should be in next week unless im able to find a job

[Master] we are not playing next week

[Grink (Devin)] good luck with that!

[Guy] in that case i wont be in lol

[Master] and the anniversary game is in May do not forget

[Master] playing Friday night

[Guy] thanks good luck with the count

[Master] then all day Saturday

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (good Luck Guy!)

[Grink (Devin)] I'm in! But I need a date, so I don't schedule over it.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There must be a reason he sent you to my room.

[Master] is on the site Devin

[Grink (Devin)] I'll look.

Guy has left the game on Fri Mar 22 23:27:20 EDT 2013

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He is probably listening now. Good evening Count.

Ilero (TMO) makes a writing motion with one hand and looks questioningly at Branwyn.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (can you guys even read?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Grink (Devin)] (I... think so?)

Branwyn (Lisa) waves at them to follow her

[Grink (Devin)] (Common, yes)

Ilero (TMO) follows.

Grink (Devin) follows

[Master] yes for Grink

Branwyn (Lisa) goes out and up to Toybin's room

Branwyn (Lisa) knocks on door

[Ilero (TMO)] (brb)

[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 1'07".

Lisa is receiving the map Tower 4...

Lisa has received the map Tower 4.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] come in?

[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 13'10".

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Hello Branwyn

Branwyn (Lisa) remembers, "leave the coin in my room"

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] (LOL)

[Grink (Devin)] (I believe Ilero has the coin at the moment... he snatched it. :P)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hello Toybin. We have come to pay you an unexpected visit

Branwyn (Lisa) walks in to his little sitting room

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 26'10".

[Master] Time of Day: 09:56 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.

[Ilero (TMO)] (back)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Count caught Ilero and Grink on the stairway and he sent them to my room.

[Ilero (TMO)] (is happy to leave the coin behind)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So I thought it might be safer to talk in your room

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And since Koorin is probably toruing kitchens and cannot be found I was wondering if you'd ever seen anything like this before.

Branwyn (Lisa) holds up hand

Ilero (TMO) makes writing motion. "How you get that?"

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] That does not look good

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This si nothing in comparison to that Contagion spell your friend Red Cloak cast on my face but it still isn't good.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No it soesn't look good. It looks like a bloody hand.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I was looking for secret doors and these compartments showed up.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] and you started poking around inside of them?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you have a secret compartment, putting some cursed powder in it is just overkill.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Of course. But I didn't take anything.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] maybe it is not cursed? maybe it is supposed to do that?

[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: Find/remove traps check:(d100) [1d100=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 40!!

[Ilero (TMO)] (F/RT is the closest thing I have to Poison knowledge)

[Grink (Devin)] (I'd love to make a paint pack comparison... but I don't think these characters would have any idea what the hell I was talking about)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] When is it supposed to go away? That's what I want to know.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I do not know what it is so I cannot even guess

[Grink (Devin)] You'd know better than us, probably. But until it does, can I suggest a nice long pair of gloves?

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] if you still have it in the morning perhaps it will wash off?

[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: KNO check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I have an herbalism prof - not sure if it will help though)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope so.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] it does look very creepy

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] if you were pointing at me

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] adn pronouncing my doom I would take you very seriously

[Ilero (TMO)] Got knife? Can try to bleed it out.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Anyway. The Count has this place trapped with hidden alarms or triggers or something.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I think that would be obvious

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] don't you have your tower guarded like that?

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs and points at Toybin "Off with your head!"

Ilero (TMO) rolls his eyes. "Got spell you can cast on rock or coin that turn off magic?"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Scary?

Ilero (TMO) mutters, "Hope Count not listening..."

Ilero (TMO) mutters, "But no one here take hint wit'out use of big stick, and I ain't got one."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I do magic. i don't make it go away.

Grink (Devin) "shal I detect poison?"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can you? That would be nice.

TMO is receiving the map Tower 4...

Grink (Devin) casts

TMO has received the map Tower 4.

Devin is receiving the map Tower 4...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And no Toybin, my tower is not full of traps.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] no poison

Devin has received the map Tower 4.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Think what would happen to Widow Washburn if I did that.

[Grink (Devin)] Grink casts a spell against : Detect Poison: I hold up a sheet of vellum. If it is placed in front of poison within the next (10+5) 15 rounds, it will turn black. There is a (5) 5% chance that I can detect the exact type of poison.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] who?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Never mind.

[Grink (Devin)] Neagative.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] (grins)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wonderful! Thank you Grink.

[Grink (Devin)] WHo is Window Washburn?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (or negative you can't tell what kind before I am dead?)

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] (not poisoned)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is the caretaker of Orchard House back at the Jiistelle Estates.

[Grink (Devin)] and she'd get caught in all those traps?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Our home. She is always cleaning and sorting and would be very upset if she couldn't take a crack at the tower too.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If I set them, most likely.

[Grink (Devin)] That could be mildly amusing.

[Grink (Devin)] For snares, at least. Nothing dangerous.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She's a dear lady and I would not want to upset her.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh! Almost forgot in all this mess.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Count will not be joining us for dinner tomorrow night but he wouldn't say where he would be.

[Grink (Devin)] Another chance to... *cough*

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And our special guest will be here for an audience the day after that.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would like to get her before the Count presents her in whatever state he will put her in.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But I am also not sure I will live long enough to see it.

[Ilero (TMO)] All of us.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He made some strange comment the last time he popped in and out.

[Grink (Devin)] What'd he say?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No, I think he wants me dead more than you.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If that makes you feel any better.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He asked how long we'd be staying.

[Ilero (TMO)] No

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I said until we got what we came for or until he sent us away.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then he said until he got what he wanted from me.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have nothing he could possibly want except a undead for his collection.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He must have a set somewhere, shouldn't he?

[Ilero (TMO)] Cheery. Stuffed Branwyn.

[Grink (Devin)] I'm not entirely sure we should split up from here on out.

[Grink (Devin)] We'd be better off as a group.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] When we have the choice.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He also left by saying "Unitil we see you again"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not sure what he meant by "we"

[Ilero (TMO)] We?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But then he says things and pops in and out and you can never ask a question.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So Toybin, you think Wilamina is our special guest? She has to be.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But the Count is not going to be the Consort. I don't get why he wants her.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I admit I am puzzled by what we have found

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] it seems we have far too much freedom

[Ilero (TMO)] Maybe he bored?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Just enough to hang ourselves.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] but we continue to seem to find inconsistances in what they are telling us

[Ilero (TMO)] Maybe we all just dreaming?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would be nice.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I think from what we found out tonight

Ilero (TMO) pinches Branwyn.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] we have 48 hours until we will find out who this new guest is

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think it worked.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] between now and then we should try to see if we can be ready to escape

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] right now I do not even know how to do that

[Ilero (TMO)] Hye try again, to see?

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] where the Chamberlain has our gear,

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] how can we carry all your heavy chests of gear out Branwyn

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Try pinching Grink next time.

Grink (Devin) pinches himself

[Ilero (TMO)] Why hye do that? That just silly.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I doubt there is the possibility of a fast getaway with all of us.

[Ilero (TMO)] Escape more important than gear, yes?

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] maybe we could go to town?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Even is we got out of the castle, we still need to get out of Ghostwood.

[Grink (Devin)] Everyone for themselves?

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I get turned around in here

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] are you sure we have explored everything?

[Grink (Devin)] I'm fairly certain we have not.

[Grink (Devin)] The count's space, for one.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The dungeons.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Count appeared when Ilero and Grink were close to the dungeons.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I go down there and he shows up again.

[Grink (Devin)] and I'm sure there's some stuff on the floor above the dungeons too.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We saw at least two secret doors open down there.

[Ilero (TMO)] brb

[Master] Time of Day: 10:11 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 3rd, 342 SKR.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But that is also where all the traps and alarms are apparently.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I need to go to sleep. Can we talk about this in the morning?

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] most definately

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] the small dinning room mid morning?

[Ilero (TMO)] back

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] well after sunrise?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Toybin, shall we go with Ilero and Grink to their rooms or are you safe to get back yourselves?

[Ilero (TMO)] Hokay. Don't die tonight

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's a cheery thought.

Toybin of Castling (Master) looks at the two of you

[Grink (Devin)] I think we'll be safe. He's had plenty of chance to do anything he wanted to, and he KNOWS he's in control.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] go up one level and across

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] then down till you reach your rooms

[Grink (Devin)] If he wanted to do something, I doubt having you with us would help much.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] it is very easy

[Ilero (TMO)] Oh, no. We get lost VERY easy.

Ilero (TMO) nods.

Grink (Devin) laughs, and nods in an overly emphatic manner.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] All right then. See you at breakfast. Be careful.

[Grink (Devin)] See you in the morning.

[Master] so we will pick up in the middle of the night? or at breakfast?

[Ilero (TMO)] probably breakfast

[Grink (Devin)] is anything going to HAPPEN in the middle of the night?

[Ilero (TMO)] night time is not the time to be skulking about a vampires castle

[Grink (Devin)] I was hoping to get to bacon.

[Lisa] unless you have more surprises for us

[Master] if you are wandering around the castle

[Master] yes somethign WILL happen to you

[Ilero (TMO)] we will fall off the wall in a tragic accident

[Grink (Devin)] Column of air!

[Ilero (TMO)] I have counterspell. Column of Splat

[Master] Ok

[Master] no game next week

[Ilero (TMO)] puddle of splat?

[Master] so lots of chances to talk on the site

[Master] and come up with plans, etc

[Grink (Devin)] Puddle of guts.

[Master] discuss what you know

[Ilero (TMO)] Don't Die.

[Lisa] Have a nice vacation

[Ilero (TMO)] Who brought the garlic? Someone was supposed to bring the garlic!

[Lisa] See you all in a couple of weeks :)

[Lisa] lol

[Grink (Devin)] Garlic doesn't taste good on bacon, sorry.

[Ilero (TMO)] cya!@

[Grink (Devin)] later!
