Lisa is receiving the map Temple...

[Master] Welcome

Lisa has received the map Temple.

[Lisa] Hello

[Master] no clue when Mike or TMO will be in

[Lisa] That was a really fast to get in today

[Master] but at least you have time to reveiw what you want

[Master] good

[Master] I removed a couple of images off the map

[Master] for rooms

[Lisa] got the okay from work to have a nice weekend

[Master] because I can just load the room map instead of also having the thumbnail

[Master] NICE

[Master] until Tuesday?

[Master] OH I texted you

[Master] did you see that

[Lisa] no

[Master] Lisa at MN emailed me, told me to stop by and pick up a Win 8 tablet

[Master] becasue I do not have one yet

[Lisa] a work tablet or one you get to keep?

[Master] so hard to fight and not get hopes up

[Master] work

[Lisa] that is great

[Master] but only certain people get to get gear like phones, tablets, etc

[Lisa] that is a good sign

[Master] yeah

[Master] crosses fingers

[Lisa] I figured out how to see the pictures!

[Lisa] I kept clicking on the right corner of screen

[Master] ahhhh

[Master] grins

[Lisa] but the color picture is what we are really supposed to be looking at?

[Master] yes

[Master] that is what those three tapestries up in the front of the church look like

[Lisa] and there is another door

[Master] Chandler Cowles fighting the lizardmen and beastmen

[Master] etc

[Lisa] Is nice

[Lisa] so I am going to leave for a short bit and come back in a few

[Master] go

[Master] I will be here, and we should probably wait for the other two at least

[Lisa] I agree

[Master] chuckles

[Master] Indigo can handle anything!

[Lisa] ]sigh

Mike has received the map Temple.

[Mike] hey

Lisa has left the game on Fri May 23 19:36:31 EDT 2014

[Master] Welcome sir

[Mike] let's see if the computer works tonight

[Master] I hope that loaded faster for you now

[Master] Lisa is coming back

[Mike] not sure what was going on last week

[Master] that is a reset from her end

[Master] you see the tapestries there?

[Master] waiting for at least Lisa or TMO to be here with you to review things

[Mike] i don't see any tapestries

[Mike] are they the brown things?

[Master] in the temple

[Master] yes

[Master] there is an image near the door

[Master] you can click on to see them in perspective view

[Mike] i see it. a battle scene?

[Master] yes

[Mike] and tonight i don't have sound. melinda has people over for a movie night

[Master] Chandler Cowles fighting the lizard men

[Master] ahhh

[Mike] so hopefully someone will summarize what we hear fot the deaf

[Master] we will try to remember that

[Master] yes

[Master] grins

[Mike] do we know this chandler cowles?

Lisa has joined the game on Fri May 23 19:40:32 EDT 2014

Lisa is receiving the map Temple...

Lisa has received the map Temple.

[Master] This is the temple of the shield and chandler cowles was the person who had the shield

[Master] and that is the shield in the lizardman's hands

[Master] and welcome back Lisa

[Mike] okay. so we're in the right place.

TMO has joined the game on Fri May 23 19:41:38 EDT 2014

TMO is receiving the map Temple...

[Master] excellent

TMO has received the map Temple.

[Mike] is it the actual shield or a painting of it?

[TMO] Yo

[Lisa] Hello :)

[Master] the tapestry is woven so not an actual shield

[Mike] lets cut it out, glue it on a different shield, and give it to redcloak

[TMO] unless it's MAGIC!!!

[Mike] so if this is his shield, why does a lizard man have it?

[Lisa] he took it in the battle

[Lisa] victory over lizardman loot

[Master] it is hard to see in that image but it is a bronze shield

[Lisa] looks pink

[Mike] such a primative metal

[Master] also there is a river there on the tapestries

[Mike] did someone cry it?

[Lisa] I wonder which one that is? :)

[Master] I will allow you to guess, research which river you think that might be for the next 15 minutes and give the right answer 500 XP

[Master] before I tell you which it is

[Lisa] Chandler Cowles River

[Mike] yang zhe!

[Master] BUZZZZZ

[Master] nope

[Master] nope

[Lisa] he has a river

[Lisa] not this one apparently

[Master] this is also true but it is not in these scenes

[Mike] this is the river that's right outside isn't it?

[Master] nope

[TMO] what tapestry image are we looking at?

[Master] you have actually been at that river

[Master] in the temple

[Master] near the door there is an image to click on

[Lisa] Green River

[Master] nope

[Mike] Velikaya

[Master] that is the Chandler Cowles river origninal name

[Master] that is in Terraguard

[Master] good try though Mike, it is one of the Great Rivers of the World, nice find for that page

[Master] but this river is not one of the Great Rivers

[Mike] well it's the only river i see that he quested on

[Mike] to find the headwaters, apparently

[Mike] so his page is way incomplete

[Master] by the way TMO this image is missing the ants that were there in the original one

[Master] chuckles at Mike, yes his biography is woefully in adequate

[Mike] rumbling river?

[Lisa] I never saw the one with the ants

[Master] this one has to white spaces where I erased them

[Master] and no to Mike

[Mike] because it says that's near the great swamp, but also near wolfspack

[Master] that is another Great River

[Mike] baikal

[Master] Lisa and TMO can help with where they have ventures

[Master] no to that but you are getting closer to Drillian at least

[Mike] i better since it says the baikal is in drillian

[Mike] is it one of the offshoots like the queen's river?

[Mike] channel, rather

[Mike] or crystal river?

[Master] I will double check that but I want to say

[Master] and we have a winner

[Master] Crystal River

[Master] Imari XP award: 500. Next level in 9238.

[Mike] woohoo!

[Mike] granted, i just looked up and guessed every river i could find on the site.

[Master] do you know why the Crystal River?

[Mike] no. it's page mentions nothing about crowley or the lizardmen fighting

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

[Lisa] I saw that river but it kept talking about Vilmar so I thought that couldn't be it.

[Master] why did Vilmar get his title ?

[Master] becasue he helped win the battle here at the Crystal River with Chandler Cowles

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

[Master] 16-11-(-248) SKR Battle of the Crystal River

[Mike] man is that burried

[Master] bows, thank you

[Mike] i'd think that crystal river itself would have a link

[Master] it does

[Mike] AND villmar estates

[Mike] not that i saw. i was just on the page for crystal river

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

[Lisa] that is not exactly a compliment when we are supposed to be learning this stuff

[Master] sorry I understand Lisa

[Mike] no link to any battle pge

[TMO] (back. just got done reading Indigo's response)

[Master] adn this is why I wanted to review with you before hand

[Lisa] no need for that

[Master] later on it might be important

[Lisa] oh great - that means there will be a quiz

[Mike] so we should be familiar with the vallimar family history?

[Lisa] :)

[Master] smile

[Mike] it'll be part fo the puzzle down here

[Master] no to Mike

[Mike] at least bob's giving us this much.

[Master] you already had the Vilmar quiz

[Mike] usually he just pretends he gives us hints

[TMO] (I have an excuse! My character is fairly ignorant! :D )

[Mike] pft. mine's a bloody barbarian

[Master] but Shur actually lived at the Vilmar Estates

[Master] and Indigo visited there

[Lisa] lol

[Mike] she just sees stupid men living in stupid stone houses instead of being on the move like they should be

[TMO] Stop poking holes in my excuses!

[Master] and that does bring up the idea Mike

[Master] that after this story arc is over

[Lisa] oh no

[Master] if you want to continue to play Imari

[Master] or turn in the XP to create someone else

[Master] it will be your option just think about it

[Master] is a couple months away

[Lisa] I was going to type the May Saint Clig watch over you libe from Vilmar - He was there too!

[Lisa] line

[TMO] (I could use another minion!)

[Master] grins

[Master] see how I weave threads back into the story

[Mike] dunno. i like imari as rp, but she's dead useless in combat

[Mike] or most puzzles

[Master] then keep her

[Master] AND your group will be getting close to getting an airship soon

[TMO] (Ilero wants a ring of flying as soon as that happens)

[Mike] coolness.

[Lisa] you don't want to play Imari?

[TMO] (that way he can jump over the side (or fall) any time he wants to)

[Mike] everyone does remmeber you can't have much metal on them, right?

[Master] yeap

[Mike] better invest in some magic leather armor and such.

[Mike] imari actually has that wooden ring that airship officers have

[Mike] i never mentioned not wanting to play here, lisa. bob just seems to be giving me a choice to switch up my character.

[Lisa] okay - just curious

[Master] I am planning that at the end of these two story arcs I want everyone to be able to readjust as wanted

[Master] it will be around the 1,000 session

[Lisa] if I remember Imari was pretty good at saving us with her spear

[Master] yes she is

[Mike] not really. it's not magic, and she doesn't even have fighter's thac0

[Master] so what else in this church do you want to explore as I start clicking off time

[Master] now that our review is over

[Lisa] besides now she is 7th level, is it time to try to kill someone and bring them back?

[Master] LOL

[Lisa] I am not volunteering or anything

[Master] BRAINS

[Master] LOL

[Mike] if only she had that nice zero level lance that's locked up in the cellar at the keep.

[Mike] yeah. i can't wait for her to start subsuming brains

[Master] Mike is referring to a High Level Campaign item, hit with it and it instantly reduces the target to zero with a saving throw

[Master] level zero

[Master] no good against any monster but deadly against characters

[Master] Lisa, imagine Branwyn

[Mike] yup. it is a fate worse than death

[Indigo (Lisa)] ehh - we were all 1st level once

[Master] laughs

[Master] so are you doing any exploring around?

[Master] OH

[Master] TMO and Lisa

[Mike] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Master] did you see that Mike is deaf tonight

[Master] you wil lhave to transcribe for him

[Indigo (Lisa)] (going to grab a drink really quick)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (uh-oh)

[Master] refill and we will start upon your return

Indigo (Lisa) crinkle crumble crinkle sounds

[TMO] (I'll do the same)

[Mike] i got a big breasted blonde bringing me beer.

[Mike] oh, and i got to feed a stingray today.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (back)

[Master] nice

[Indigo (Lisa)] (what do they eat?)

[Master] on all three things

[Master] four things but Melinda would punch me

[Master] and what do stingrays eat?

[Master] [QuiFon Ruminell]] moved 31'02".

[Master] [Miranda Paige]] moved 27'10".

[Mike] squid bits

[Master] Brother Fotopoulos moved 28'07".

[Indigo (Lisa)] (were you at an aquarium or was this someone's pet?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (were you at an aquarium or was this someone's pet?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (dropped off for a sec I think)

[Mike] we were at the miami seaquarium

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that sounds like fun. haven't been to one in eons)

[Mike] yeah. this one was built in the 50's so it was a total blast from the past with the architechture

[Master] awaiting TMO's return

[Master] yeah it is a fun place have not been there in decades

[TMO] (back)

[Master] so

[Master] the Church

[Master] what do you want to look at in here

[Master] this is what you heard when you came in

[TMO] we welcome you to share the song, these words will make you strong

[Mike] look for the donation box

[Master] there is not one you see

[Indigo (Lisa)] (you are quick tmo!)

[Mike] eye of the tiger?

[TMO] (I type about 80 wpm)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Imari, didn't you take the scroll with the song on it?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe we should read it out loud?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Or you should

Shurkural (TMO)] (entering character)

[Mike] was it a song or a poem?

[Mike] lemme check

Indigo (Lisa) looks down as reading is not something he can do

[Master] a song

[Mike] I am back at the keyboard.

[Imari (Mike)] it is a song

[Imari (Mike)] what if we dont' sing the right tune?

[Indigo (Lisa)] We could do with some extra strength right about now.

[Imari (Mike)] who wants to read it?

[Master] the wording is on the scroll along with the notation for singing it

[Imari (Mike)] we need auntie

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummm .... we can't read it.

[Imari (Mike)] except that she fails all her rolls

[Indigo (Lisa)] Who's auntie?

[Master] if no one knows singing

[Imari (Mike)] i forget her name. from the other adventure.

[Master] then we can recite it

[Imari (Mike)] okay

Shurkural (TMO)] (Shur can dance to it)

[Imari (Mike)] ::unrolls the scroll and reads it aloud to the room::

[Master] It speaks about how Chandler Cowles fought the Lizard men with his mace

[Master] and sword

[Master] and took the shield

[Imari (Mike)] we have the mace

[Master] saved the Kingdom

[Imari (Mike)] we should probaly keep an eye out for the sword

[Master] from an invasion of the humanoids during the civil war

[Master] it continues with winning and how great Chandler Cowles was

Shurkural (TMO)] (and he was from Vilmar?)

[Master] no Vilmar was one of the generals that helped save the day

[Master] the battle was at what would become the Vilmar Estates

[Master] on a hill near the Crystal River

[Master] Clig Prodint was a warrior who served in the army of Chandler Cowles during the First Drillian Civil War. He fought bravely throughout several battles against human and humanoid forces. When the battle of the Crystal River was over he was one of the few survivors. While the group was waiting for reinforcements Clig was on watch and was killed by an undead attacker during the night. Clig did not let this stop him from performing his duties of waking and warning the rest of the group of the attack. None of his fellow soldiers suspected that Clig was dead until after the battle when they found his body cut apart. They buried him next to the hill along the river. Several weeks later Clig was credited with awakening the cooks of the campsite from their beds before a fire spread to catch the commanders tent. From that time on soldiers and guardsmen said a prayer of thanks to Saint Clig for watching over them in the night. Several times over the course of the next few years he was credited with bringing a watchman's attention to something happening that diverted a disaster from happening in what became Citadel for the Vilmar Estates

Indigo (Lisa) claps his hands "You are a really great warrior when people write songs like this about you. Is there more?"

[Imari (Mike)] "I don't know. This was the only scroll i noticed that was intact."

Shurkural (TMO)] That doesn't sound like a song.

[Master] (it is better when sung, wry grin)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hmmm... I don't feel stronger. Do you Imari?

Indigo (Lisa) looks around

[Imari (Mike)] ::holds the scroll toward Shur:: "Perhaps you would like to try?"

[Master] so you have the tapestries up front, the altar and the new door there to your left

[Imari (Mike)] "I feel nothing. Perhaps it must be sung or it is the wrong song."

[Shurkural]] (TMO) shrugs. "I can try. I ain't much of a singer, but I'm not too bad with rhythyms."

[Master] Time of Day: 01:37 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 343 SKR.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe you have to actually sing it. Does the notation say how to sing it?

[Imari (Mike)] ::imari will go inspect the altar::

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe you can do lines and we can repeat them.

[Indigo (Lisa)] After you look at the altar.

[Indigo (Lisa)] :)

[Master] Imari moved 48'08".

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]]: CHR check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Master] IMari can see that there are no actual clerical portion of the altar left

[Imari (Mike)] clerical portion?

[Master] various animals and or adventurers have taken all the easily portable things

[Imari (Mike)] so no stuff?

[Imari (Mike)] just the altar itself?

[Master] it might be an altar to someone but there is no indicatoin of who to

[Master] I will let Imari make an intuition check

[Indigo (Lisa)] (ants have a stash of goblets and relics hidden somewhere)

[Imari (Mike)] Imari: INU check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Imari (Mike)] whabam!

[Master (to Mike only)] Imari realizes that this altar plus the previous "do not preach" means that there was no one god this temple was dedicated to, it was dedicated to remembering Chandler Cowles and knowledge, not to a god or goddess

[Imari (Mike)] "It would seem this isn't actually a temple. I'm guessing it is just a place to remember the ancestor Cowles."

Shurkural (TMO)] Huh. Kind of like a ancestor shrine thing?

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's a big room. Must have been a lot of people who wanted to be here back then.

[Imari (Mike)] "I would guess."

[Imari (Mike)] "This man was the hero of the area."

[Imari (Mike)] ::gestures at the tapestries:: "He won a great war it would seem."

[Indigo (Lisa)] I wonder if there is anything behind them.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 33'05".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 37'10".

[Master] Indigo moved 13'07".

[Master] Indigo moved 4'08".

Indigo (Lisa) lifts one away from the wall a bit to look behind it

[Master] Indigo says, HEY! Look at this! a door!

[Indigo (Lisa)] (not opening yet)

[Imari (Mike)] "Interesting."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe there's a door behind all of them.

[Master] (no)

[Master] \well

[Master] sorry

[Master] damn

[Master] that was stupid

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol - what are you trying to say Bob?)

[Master] door number one has a door

[Master] lets go with that

[Imari (Mike)] snicker

[Indigo (Lisa)] (curtain number one?)

[Master] yeah

Shurkural (TMO)] "Door number one has a door." Gotcha!

Shurkural (TMO)] Does Door Number two have a door too?

[Master] no

[Indigo (Lisa)] (wondow?)

Shurkural (TMO)] ("Door number two, no door." Got it)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (window)

Shurkural (TMO)] (It's not particularly wise to tease the DM, is it?)

[Master] the north and the south tapestries have doors behind them

[Master] sigh

[Imari (Mike)] what's behind the middle one?

[Master] a wall

Shurkural (TMO)] (jackpot!)

[Imari (Mike)] sweeeeeet

[Indigo (Lisa)] (and there is a door to the side there too?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 28'05".

[Master] yes

[Imari (Mike)] we need to get behind this wall

Shurkural (TMO)] Attack: Dagger/Dirk:: is now ARMED.

Shurkural (TMO)] Attack: Short Sword:: is now ARMED.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol - 3 doors and Imari wants to break down the wall!)

Shurkural (TMO)] So which door we gonna take, sugar?

[Master] four doors

[Master] one back at the front of the church also

[Imari (Mike)] well the shield is on that tapestry, so it's clear that the shield will be mirrored behind the wall

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that one doesn't count)

Shurkural (TMO)] (the exit always counts)

[Master] that is the fifth doorway

[Master] Time of Day: 01:52 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 343 SKR.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I keep thinking about that voice and the song.

[Indigo (Lisa)] This would be the only voice that didn't do anything.

[Imari (Mike)] yes, but we tried reading the song

Shurkural (TMO)] Pull the carpets off the walls, maybe?

[Imari (Mike)] no clue at this point

Shurkural (TMO)] (no luck from Shur's attempt at singing, Bob? That was the CHA roll she did)

[Master] she does not have singing so no, cannot make out the notation for how to sing the song

Shurkural (TMO)] (she only barely succeeded, so if there're penalties she failed)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (where is Guy when we need him?)

[Master] need some sort of a musical talent to be able to read it

[Master] chuckles at Lisa

[Master] it is a team effort it is true

Shurkural (TMO)] If we need to be strong, how 'bout lifting the altar?

Shurkural (TMO)] It's about the only thing in here you can do that to without breaking it

[Imari (Mike)] ::shrugs:: "Who is strong enough?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] It looks pretty big for any of us.

Shurkural (TMO)] Any of these torches turn into levers if you pull 'em?

Shurkural (TMO)] I'm just making stuff up, sorry.

[Indigo (Lisa)] You can try them!

Shurkural (TMO)] No reason not too, I suppose.

[Imari (Mike)] any of those torches turn into a sword?

[Indigo (Lisa)] And we can see how strong that wall is that Imari talked about.

[Master] not that you can see

[Shurkural]] (TMO) goes around and hangs off each of the torch sconces.

[Indigo (Lisa)] We do have a mace now.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (are tapestries still up?)

[Master] yes

[Master] unless you really want to tear them down

[Imari (Mike)] not partucularly

[Indigo (Lisa)] Can someone hold that middle one aside please?

[Master] you have just looked behind them to discover the two doors

[Imari (Mike)] unless we can roll them up and put them in the scroll?

[Master] and the wall behind the middle one

[Imari (Mike)] that would be cool.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (no bad Cowles karma)

[Imari (Mike)] put them up at home.

[Master] remember you can only open the scroll once per 24 hours

[Imari (Mike)] oh. i did not remember that.

[Imari (Mike)] well let's steal them at some point

Shurkural (TMO)] I guess we just explore behind the doors we got and see if we find any more clues?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hmmm I don't know about that

[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay. So we go into the door that is obviously incorrect first but may have a tool for later?

Shurkural (TMO)] (some sort of movement/walking or eating sound effect)

Indigo (Lisa) tries to open the door in front of him off to the side

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that was tapestry ruffling noises)

Indigo (Lisa) looks in the room

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 1'09".

Shurkural (TMO)] (that's what I said - tapestry moving sounds)

Shurkural (TMO)] :D

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sorry I missed that!)

[Master] This is a tiny closet that holds a pair of brooms and dustpans, as well as some ancient pots that once held varnish to repair the pews. There is nothing of interest h ere.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (had no clue what that was first time)

[Master] laughs at Lisa

[Master] TMO is just making things up after you say them

[Imari (Mike)] i find brooms very interesting. with two we can make broom hands and sweep the enemies away!

Indigo (Lisa) hands her a broom

[Indigo (Lisa)] You could sharpen the end and make another spear too.

[Indigo (Lisa)] One mystery solved.

[Imari (Mike)] i prefer indigo broom hands

[Imari (Mike)] he works with edward and sweeps up the hair

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 6'09".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummmm .... now this one.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 26'04".

Indigo (Lisa) lifts the tapestry and tries to open the door

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 28'11".

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol to mke)

[Master] A couple of robes hang from pegs set into the south wall; the rotted remains of others lie in piles beneath them. The shelves to the west bear candle-holders, bowls, and other items once used in ceremonies at the temple. In one corner, you see something that looks like old bronze.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Another closet.

[Imari (Mike)] ::investigates the bronze item::

[Master] Imari moved 1'05".

[Indigo (Lisa)] (and the world turned black as coal)

[Imari (Mike)] it was the bronze lump of darkness

[Master (to Mike only)] In the corner are two tiny replicas of the Shield of Cowles, each about six inches tall. They are composed of bronze, now stained with bluish corrosion but still nice representations of the shield.

[Imari (Mike)] "Indigo-" ::holds out her hand with a miniature bronze replica of the shield:: "There are two of these. Perhaps they will come in handy. You should carry one."

[Imari (Mike) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Imari modified:

Indigo (Lisa) takes it and grins happily

[Indigo (Lisa)] that is what the other voice must have meant!!

[Master] Time of Day: 02:07 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 343 SKR.

[Indigo (Lisa)] But there are only two?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Bob was the screen supposed to go black on that end of the room?

[Master] no that was Imari leaving the room

[Master] it is normal/correct now

[Master] Imari is on the room maop

[Master] map

[Indigo (Lisa)] (i will reload map then)

[Imari (Mike)] "That are all I see."

[Indigo (Lisa)] (i am in darkness)

[Master] Indigo moved 1'00".

[Master] better?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (thank you)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (much)

[Master] Imari roll a d12 please

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe there's another one is the other room.

[Master (to GM only)] Centipede #4 moved 5'08".

[Master (to GM only)] Centipede #4 targets Imari. Distance: 2'08"

[Master (to GM only)] Centipede #3 moved 3'11".

[Master (to GM only)] Centipede #3 targets Imari. Distance: 0'11"

Shurkural (TMO)] (*rustle, rustle*)

[Imari (Mike)] (d12) [1d12=1] 1

[Indigo (Lisa)] (there looks like there's a lot of stuff in that room - even a couch)

[Master (to GM only)] Centipede #4 moved 4'11".

[Master (to GM only)] Centipede #3 moved 2'02".

[Master (to GM only)] Centipede #2 moved 5'00".

[Master (to GM only)] Centipede #2 targets Imari. Distance: 0'04"

[Imari (Mike)] "Perhaps, but this is a room full of cerimonial items, that was a room of cleaning supplies."

[Master (to GM only)] Centipede #3: Attack: Natural Attack: (20-(d20+0)-2) [1d20=12] 6 [MODIFIED BY FLANKING (-2)]. MISSES Imari (AC FINAL: 4).

[Master (to GM only)] Centipede #2: Attack: Natural Attack: (20-(d20+0)) [1d20=8] 12. MISSES Imari (AC FINAL: 4).

[Master (to GM only)] Centipede #4: Attack: Natural Attack: (20-(d20+0)-2) [1d20=13] 5 [MODIFIED BY FLANKING (-2)]. MISSES Imari (AC FINAL: 4).

[Indigo (Lisa)] Stupid centipedes!

[Imari (Mike)] ouch

Shurkural (TMO)] What're you two up to in there?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Are you okay?

[Indigo (Lisa)] This place is infested with bugs!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Come on, let's get out of here.

Shurkural (TMO)] (did anyone search the vestments?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (your turn)

[Imari (Mike)] "I'm wounded pretty badly. I hope we are finished with this temple soon. It does not agree with me."

[Indigo (Lisa)] We all are. It is not good.

[Imari (Mike)] brb

Shurkural (TMO)] What this temple needs is a cleric.

[Indigo (Lisa)] But I see how people come in but they don't come out.

[Indigo (Lisa)] That would be nice

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe when we get into the other chapel place.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Did you want to search the vestments or should I?

Shurkural (TMO)] I can do it, honey.

Shurkural (TMO)] ... What are vestments?

Indigo (Lisa) laughs "the robes"

Shurkural (TMO)] Where? In there? Sure thing, sugar.

[Master] shur can make an intiution check

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 16'00".

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]]: INU check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 13!!

[Master] there are two robes hanging there

Shurkural (TMO)] Where are they?

[Imari (Mike)] ::looks at the robes as well::

[Indigo (Lisa)] You might want to hit them with your sword first and see if any more bugs fall out.

[Shurkural]] (TMO) hits the moldy things on the floor.

[Master] nothign happens

Shurkural (TMO)] I don't see anything.

Shurkural (TMO)] Look like trash to me.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Didn't sound like anything hit the floor like there was something in the pockets.

[Imari (Mike)] ::bends down to inspect the robes::

[Master] (sorry was telling a Jewish Mother that Pizza is part of the D&D tradition)

[Master] (rather than cooking on a Friday night)

Shurkural (TMO)] (McD's here)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (is it kosher?)

[Master] (of course! TRADITION!)

Shurkural (TMO)] (nothing is more kosher than tradition)

[Master] LOL

Shurkural (TMO)] (need to run to the store. brb in about 15 minutes)

[Master] so nothign in the robes on the ground

Shurkural (TMO)] (dessert has been demanded)

[Master] and Shur is lost beyond that

[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay. One more door left then.

[Master] Imari or Indigo could make a check if you feel so inspired to

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 1'06".

[Imari (Mike)] i do

Shurkural (TMO)] (she's still trying to figure out this 'vestment' thing)

[Imari (Mike)] Imari: INU check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Master (to Mike only)] all the rest of the cloth in this room is disintigrated with age, not these two vestments, they must be special, maybe magical

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Imari (Mike)] "These are not rotten through."

[Imari (Mike)] ::carefully folds the vestments and tucks them under her arm::

[Imari (Mike)] testing

[Master] yes

[Master] we are here

[Imari (Mike)] everyone got real quiet

[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay. Onward then unless you want to look at anything else.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sorry)

[Master] Time of Day: 02:23 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 343 SKR.

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 8'02".

[Master] Imari moved 15'05".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 21'08".

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

[Master] one concealed door and one normal door

Indigo (Lisa) tries the last door

[Imari (Mike)] concealed!

[Master] Indigo is lookign at the backside of a tapestry

[Indigo (Lisa)] Huh?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Look at this Imari!

[Master] Imari moved 18'04".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Like a mirror?

[Imari (Mike)] "What?"

[Master] no like a tapestry is concealing the door from the other side as well

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so he opened the door and sees the back of the tapestry?)

[Imari (Mike)] of another tapestry?

[Imari (Mike)] in a different room?

[Master] yes to Lisa

[Master] yes to Mike

Indigo (Lisa) calls out "Hello?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sound - where was lovely Petra Queen?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Imari - there was the voices again.

[Imari (Mike)] did imari hear voices?

[Indigo (Lisa)] To pass this way you must be keen, where was Petra Queen.

[Master] (ye to Mike)

[Indigo (Lisa)] the beginning part I can't remember well

[Indigo (Lisa)] mighty something

[Indigo (Lisa)] it's hard when you are listening and thinking you must type it and remember it or die

[Master] grins

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I think I got the important part though)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Who was the lovely Petra?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I wish Branwyn or Marisu were here. They know all this history stuff.

[Master] sorry no help for you there, and I intentionally left her off the website till after you solve this

[Imari (Mike)] they were an 80's band

[Indigo (Lisa)] (i realize that)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (now)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe we will find out who Petra is in one of the other rooms and we can come back.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't want to try to pass that way unless we have an answer

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so is indigo firmly in the pew room?)

[Imari (Mike)] okay. let's try the other rooms

[Master] yes

[Imari (Mike)] plus there's other halls

[Master] Imari moved 64'07".

[Master] Indigo moved 65'00".

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 62'07".

[Master] you have one more door and the exit door

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 1'09".

Indigo (Lisa) tries last door

[Master] Indigo moved 3'02".

Indigo (Lisa) looks aeound cautiously

Indigo (Lisa) mutters "hope there aren't any more bugs"

[Master] Indigo moved 3'05".

[Master] Imari moved 6'04".

[Master] it appears to be a cooridoor

[Indigo (Lisa)] (nothing in it?)

[Master] not where you are

[Indigo (Lisa)] Be careful. This is strange. I'm going to go forward a bit.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 10'00".

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's a big hallway!

[Master] Imari moved 6'06".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Looks okay so far.

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 24'02".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 10'02".

[Master] Imari moved 5'08".

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 3'03".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 9'04".

[Master] (show us what they taught Cowles)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (oh no - too confusing)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (okay - better)

[Imari (Mike)] apparently something is using the classroom as a home

[Imari (Mike)] probably more centipedes

[Indigo (Lisa)] (something about imortals crossing something)

[Master] what does Indigo DO

Indigo (Lisa) backs up

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 18'02".

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't know the answer!

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

Shurkural (TMO)] (*storm sounds*)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (rock slide)

[Indigo (Lisa)] lol

Shurkural (TMO)] (that's what I said)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (what happened?)

[Imari (Mike)] yay! rock slide!

[Shurkural]] (TMO) shakes off her confusion over the whole 'vestment' thing and tries to catch up with the rest of the group[.

Indigo (Lisa) looks down

[Master] You should see the coridoor filled with a huge Stone BLock

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm sorry.

[Indigo (Lisa)] It happened so fast and I didn't want to say the wrong thing.

[Imari (Mike)] or just a trap

[Indigo (Lisa)] What who taught Cowles?

[Imari (Mike)] to make you go squish

[Imari (Mike)] obi wan

[Imari (Mike)] how about that manor guy

[Imari (Mike)] starts with a v?

[Master] (what did Cowles do)

Shurkural (TMO)] Vilmar?

[Indigo (Lisa)] And what did he have to learn? He knew everything!

[Master] you can guess that this will reset itself after some time

[Master] but for now the coridoor is blocked

[Indigo (Lisa)] Is there anything in the song that says Cowles learned anything?

[Master] when you hear the sound again perhaps it will be clear

[Imari (Mike)] perhaps. let's check out the classroom

[Indigo (Lisa)] or anything about immortals?

[Imari (Mike)] maybe a history book in there

[Master] (imortals refers to the Gods in general)

[Imari (Mike)] and this place doesn't like gods.

[Indigo (Lisa)] How can a temple not like gods?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Isn't it what they're there for?

[Master] Time of Day: 02:38 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 343 SKR.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Well we can get by the other voice and get into the chapel area.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Problem is, I think only two of us can go.

[Imari (Mike)] well imari said this wasn't a temple for gods

[Imari (Mike)] it's more a place of remembrance

[Imari (Mike)] and wisdom and stuff

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh I thought you just meant that one room.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay Shur. I'm going to walk over again and replay the voice and then run back quick. Can you help me listen and remember?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Just run back quick if you get close.

Shurkural (TMO)] Sure thing, sugar.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 20'05".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 18'03".

Shurkural (TMO)] so you shall be on your way. as you begin... dang, lost the rest

[Master] (show us what they taught Cowles)

Shurkural (TMO)] Wisdom!

Shurkural (TMO)] Kindness!

[Indigo (Lisa)] How can you show wisdom?

Shurkural (TMO)] Waterfalls!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Other than to be smart enough not to let a rock fall on you.

[Master] I will offer that Petra was the one that showed Kindness and Wisdom

[Master] what did you see Cowles doing? what did he show?

[Imari (Mike)] death

[Imari (Mike)] he was doing death

[Imari (Mike)] to lizards

[Indigo (Lisa)] Mercy?

Shurkural (TMO)] Kneeling?

[Imari (Mike)] have we checked the other rooms back there?

Shurkural (TMO)] Hiding behind his sheidl?

[Imari (Mike)] because i'm willing to bet there are more clues to find.

[Imari (Mike)] and his shield does seem to be a big theme here

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes you are right

[Master] it is the temple of the shield so yes

[Indigo (Lisa)] Cowles had a sword and a mace

[Indigo (Lisa)] When he won he took the shield of the lizardman king he defeated.

[Master] Time of Day: 02:53 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 343 SKR.

[Shurkural]] (TMO) mumbles, "I liked the waterfalls answer."

[Imari (Mike)] so he learned the wisdom of using a shield. yay. he learned what every first year squire learns.

Shurkural (TMO)] (putting in headphones - kids too damn loud)

[Indigo (Lisa)] but what did he learn and how can we show what someone else learned?

[Indigo (Lisa)] This is too hard for me.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Let's come back to this hall.

[Master] INdigo can make a wisdom check

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

Shurkural (TMO)] We let the brains go the other way. We're warriors, not intlectuals.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: WIS check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Master] Shur can make a wisdom check

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yay)

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]]: WIS check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Imari (Mike)] imari's pretty smart

Shurkural (TMO)] (you're with us, aren't you?)

[Imari (Mike)] looks like it

[Master (to Lisa only)] Indgo has a flash of inspiration at that one, with a sword master shouting SHOW ME again and again in the training yard as he went through his varoius forms

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh!

[Master (to TMO only)] Shur has a flash of inspiration at that one, with a bow master shouting SHOW ME again and again in the training yard as he went through her varoius forms

[Indigo (Lisa)] But ...

[Indigo (Lisa)] That would be scary.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno.

[Imari (Mike)] what would be scary?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Well ... to be a great warrior you have to train.

[Indigo (Lisa)] And if you want to be really good you need a master.

Shurkural (TMO)] We have to fight the rock?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Princess Anastatcia always made me keep on showing her all my stances, my lunges, parries.

[Indigo (Lisa)] yelling all the time at me to show her what I was supposed to do

[Indigo (Lisa)] what I learned I guess

Shurkural (TMO)] Yeah, same type of thing with the bow. But how do we show a hallway our skills?

[Indigo (Lisa)] But if I'm wrong and a rock falls on my head....

Shurkural (TMO)] I can shoot one of those faces, I guess?

[Imari (Mike)] "I wouldn't do that."

[Indigo (Lisa)] I wouldn't do that!

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol) Shurkural (TMO)] The tapestry shows Cowles with his shield up. Maybe if we hold a shield up the rock won't fall?

Shurkural (TMO)] Sadly.. I don't have a shield. *mock sigh* I guess I can't be the one to test it. Sorry sugar.

[Indigo (Lisa)] No that was the lizardman

[Indigo (Lisa)] Cowles was defeating the lizardman with the shield.

Shurkural (TMO)] Cowles is a wolfman?

[Indigo (Lisa)] But Cowles had to have had a master too.

[Imari (Mike)] Imari moved 25'04".

[Imari (Mike)] Imari moved 28'06".

[Indigo (Lisa)] No!

Shurkural (TMO)] The guy in red in 2 of the tapestries holding up a sword and shield. That's not Cowles?

[Imari (Mike)] Imari will really look around in this room as they discuss

[Master] yes that is Cowles

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so that was after the battle?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (a different one?)

[Master] no the same battle, seen from different angles

Shurkural (TMO)] It ain't gotta be the famous shield, I guess. But in both of 'em he's got his sword and shield up.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I'm all confused now)

[Master] Shur has the gist of it

Shurkural (TMO)] and a helmet on his head

Shurkural (TMO)] and one knee down.

[Master] Cowles was with his weapon and shield

[Master] defeating the enemy

[Master] each of the three tapestries shows the battle of the crystal river

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so by that time he had already defeated the lizardman king)

[Imari (Mike)] so some god taught him to be a warrior?

[Master] and cowles defeating the lizard king

Shurkural (TMO)] So if we knee-walk under there with sword and shield up, the rock won't squash us? I think the dust on those vestment things when straight to my brain.

[Master] and saving the kingdom

[Master] adn Cowles ruled by divine right so in a way yes to Mike

Shurkural (TMO)] Maybe if we found some poles and propped it up?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so the shield never belonged to the lizardman?)

[Master] how could any king not be divinely inspired?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Did you see how big that rock was?

Shurkural (TMO)] Big poles?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Pole snap

[Imari (Mike)] i'm guessing the three shields the lizard/wolfmen things are holding will come into play eventually

[Master (to Mike only)] Imari finds (2d20) [2d20=9,9] 18 copper pieces scattered around the room

[Imari (Mike)] ::stacks a small pile of copper pieces on the altar::

Shurkural (TMO)] What do the shields we have look like? Do they match any of those?

[Master] the two shields you have are replicas of the shield that Cowles is carrying when he wins the battle, replicas fo the Shield of Cowles, the Shield this Temple is named after

Shurkural (TMO)] (worth a shot)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not here

Shurkural (TMO)] Gimme one of those shields, would you, honey?

[Indigo (Lisa)] They are the passes that will take us into the chapel area.

Shurkural (TMO)] Attack: Dagger/Dirk:: is NO LONGER ARMED.

Shurkural (TMO)] Attack: Short Sword:: is NO LONGER ARMED.

Shurkural (TMO)] Attack: Bastard Sword; one hand:: is now ARMED.

[Indigo (Lisa)] And we only have two and there are three of us.

[Imari (Mike)] "I am going to continue looking around. Do you wish to come with me?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] What are you going to do?

Shurkural (TMO)] I wish Ilero were here. This'd be right up his alley.

[Imari (Mike)] "You can talk more as we look. Or you can stay here."

Shurkural (TMO)] I'm gonna try and not get squashed.

[Indigo (Lisa)] We can try to get into the chapel area but only two if us can go.

[Shurkural]] (TMO) brandishes her sword and the shield.

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 17'04".

[Indigo (Lisa)] No!

Shurkural (TMO)] and is ready to leap backward

[Master] what does Shur do?

Shurkural (TMO)] swings her sword

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 17'08".

Shurkural (TMO)] and hopes not to die

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 1'09".

[Master] Time of Day: 03:00 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 343 SKR.

[Shurkural]] (TMO) looks around. "Did I die?

[Master (to Lisa only)] that was to you

Indigo (Lisa) grins "Doesn't look like it!"

[Indigo (Lisa)] You did good there Shur.

Indigo (Lisa) calls back "Imari!"

Shurkural (TMO)] I ... need to sit down. I don't know how Ilero does it. Traps and stuff. That was one of the scariest things I ever done.

[Imari (Mike)] "What?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] Come on!

[Shurkural]] (TMO) tosses the shield back across. "In case you need that."

[Imari (Mike)] Imari moved 25'04".

[Indigo (Lisa)] We can get by. Shur showed them.

[Imari (Mike)] "What do we do?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think it was the shield

Shurkural (TMO)] I held up sword and shield, and swung my sword around after the voice talked.

Shurkural (TMO)] Oh god.. I gotta pee..

[Master] lol

[Shurkural]] (TMO) looks around.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'll go next.

Indigo (Lisa) takes out his swords and thinks of his fanciest sword manuevers

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 18'04".

[Shurkural]] (TMO) moves out of the way.

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 2'01".

Indigo (Lisa) lunges and swings his swords

[Imari (Mike)] "are you sure?"

[Master] Indigo moved 15'09".

[Indigo (Lisa)] I did it!

[Imari (Mike)] "I have no sword."

[Indigo (Lisa)] It worked!

Shurkural (TMO)] I hope that works going back.

[Shurkural]] (TMO) slids her short sword back along the floor towards her.

Shurkural (TMO)] Umm. Do you know how to use one?

[Imari (Mike)] ::picks it up:: "Put the pointy end into the other man?"

Shurkural (TMO)] Maybe it'll work with your spear?

[Master] bonus point for GoT reference

[Indigo (Lisa)] Try using both. Couldn't hurt.

Shurkural (TMO)] (pshah. that's been used lots. :P )

[Imari (Mike)] i was quoting mask of zoro there...

[Master] chuckles

Shurkural (TMO)] At least it wasn't Zorro the Gay Blade

[Imari (Mike)] guess imari will go with her spear

[Master] Imari moved 18'03".

[Master] and what does she do?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (he can't hear)

[Master] (doh)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (swing now mike)

[Imari (Mike)] does spear stuff

[Master] Imari moved 16'01".

[Imari (Mike)] with the stabbing and the twirling

[Indigo (Lisa)] That was fantastic Shur!

[Master] Thrust! Parry! Spin!

Shurkural (TMO)] Dodge!

Shurkural (TMO)] I still gotta pee.

[Indigo (Lisa)] You should have gone before we left.

[Indigo (Lisa)] :)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (3 weeks ago)

[Master] lol

[Master] take a break have to get the door

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

Shurkural (TMO)] Sorry! The thought of beomcing Shurkural-pancakes scared my bladder.

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] back

[Master] and smiles

[Master] it was a very tense moment

[Indigo (Lisa)] Imari you should do that twirling spear thing more often.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Very impressive.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (are we looking at a T passage or a big door or both?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 8'10".

[Master] t passage way with a face on the wall in front of you

[Indigo (Lisa)] when humans were a younger race

Shurkural (TMO)] when humans were a younger race, many perils they did face. imagine going out .........

[Indigo (Lisa)] many perils they did face

[Indigo (Lisa)] you type faster than me by a mile :)

[Master] what is Indogo doing

Shurkural (TMO)] I missed the second sentence. sorry

[Indigo (Lisa)] imagine going out and fighting something

[Imari (Mike)] getting ice cream

[Indigo (Lisa)] kind of quest like

[Master] LOL

[Master] at Mike

[Master] that did not quite fit the riddle

[Master] but go

[Indigo (Lisa)] lol

[Master] tick tick tick on Indigo

Shurkural (TMO)] Try to fight again?

Indigo (Lisa) swings swords again

Shurkural (TMO)] show your stuff?

[Master] which way is Indigo going?

Indigo (Lisa) turns and heads right

[Master] Indigo moved 11'01".

Indigo (Lisa) swords at the ready

Shurkural (TMO)] show me one of zircheff's pets?

[Indigo (Lisa)] the huntsman

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't want to drag an ant over here!

[Master] tick tick tick

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 10'11".

[Master] Indigo moved 2'03".

[Master] a giant pendulum, with a great blade attached, plunges from the ceiling and swings through the corridor

Indigo (Lisa) backs up again

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yikes!

Shurkural (TMO)] Who is Zircheff/

Shurkural (TMO)] ?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think the names matter

[Indigo (Lisa)] We need a huntsman's pet

Shurkural (TMO)] I don't have a hawk.

Shurkural (TMO)] Or dog, or whatever.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Or a dog

[Imari (Mike)] can't find any zircheff the huntsman on the website.

[Master] I will give you that one, that you used representations of things before

[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay. I'll try the other way.

[Imari (Mike)] not that i would metagame

[Master] grins at Mike, I intentionally left off certain names

[Master] those with Ancient History or Local History would know them

[Imari (Mike)] not imari

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes yes Branwyn and Marisu)

Shurkural (TMO)] (Well, Cowles is apparently pronounced 'Loves', so I probably didn't spell it right anywys)

[Imari (Mike)] but she can swim

[Indigo (Lisa)] (some fat lot of good they are)

[Master] (there are names in the speaker's voice that I have changed, I am not quite good enough at the sound tampering yet)

Shurkural (TMO)] Anybody even got a picture of an animal?

Shurkural (TMO)] Is there an animal on the shield?

[Master] no animal on the shield

Shurkural (TMO)] Like, either of these mini shields?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Wait! I have the talisman that you gave me Imari.

[Indigo (Lisa)] With the feathers.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Think that would work?

Shurkural (TMO)] Better than anything I've got, I think.

[Indigo (Lisa)] It would help if we actually knew what his pet was though.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Imari you have thngs with feathers too don't you?

[Imari (Mike)] heh, found him

[Imari (Mike)] and petra, too

[Imari (Mike)] "I have my spear."

[Indigo (Lisa)] (no fair telling IC)

[Imari (Mike)] "But they are raven's feathers. Not a hawk or falcon."

[Imari (Mike)] "And some hunters use dogs."

[Indigo (Lisa)] We don't know what his pet was so anything would be a big guess.

[Imari (Mike)] "Many hunters in these lands use birds. Like the Lady at Jistelle."

[Master] you did need to act earlier

[Imari (Mike)] flap your arms and shout kakaw!

Shurkural (TMO)] This is the wierdest place I ever been in.

[Master] Time of Day: 03:21 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 343 SKR.

[Master] so what will you do?

[Imari (Mike)] well, you know where the trap is

[Imari (Mike)] so you can potentially try whatever you want and totally avoid it

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes a buge balde chopping you in half

[Indigo (Lisa)] huge

[Indigo (Lisa)] blade

[Imari (Mike)] in

[Imari (Mike)] one

[Imari (Mike)] spot

[Imari (Mike)] stand somewhere else.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not sure it works that way.

[Imari (Mike)] unless leonard of quirm designed this place, i doubt the giant pedulum moves around

[Indigo (Lisa)] I would have to watch it again and see if you can walk around it or it covers the expanse of the hallway

Shurkural (TMO)] You might have to stand in front of it to trigger the voice?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes the voice doesn't happen until you are in front of it and you have to show the face the pet

Shurkural (TMO)] Bark at it?

[Imari (Mike)] i think we should hit up the other hallway

[Indigo (Lisa)] Go in the chapel?

[Imari (Mike)] we're guessing and making assumptions at insta death traps

[Imari (Mike)] no, the earlier one

[Imari (Mike)] has a closed door and a thing you can read that calls it a classroom

[Imari (Mike)] good place to learn stuff, aye?

[Indigo (Lisa)] There were a TON of books in there.

[Imari (Mike)] we went in there already?

[Indigo (Lisa)] That could take days.

Shurkural (TMO)] I, uh, can't read.

[Imari (Mike)] apparently the barbarian is the only one who can

Shurkural (TMO)] I know a few simple words, that's about it.

Shurkural (TMO)] Told ya, all the brains went the other way.

[Indigo (Lisa)] there was the locked door with the voice that told us to go the other way.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not sure we should break his door down.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Unless you have an unlocking spell.

[Indigo (Lisa)] that voice sounded pretty grumpy

[Imari (Mike)] nope

[Indigo (Lisa)] Don't say that Shur. You solved the first one.

[Imari (Mike)] well i'm not sure. i'd think we need to find some sort of picture or statue of zerev's pet

[Imari (Mike)] not act like a dog or bird

[Imari (Mike)] but this is a weird temple

Shurkural (TMO)] I think I agree.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can try the feathers or we can go back to the other hall and see if we can learn more.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Definitely!

[Indigo (Lisa)] I know we can get into the chapel safely.

[Indigo (Lisa)] With these shield things

Shurkural (TMO)] Shadow puppets?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Or at least I am pretty sure we can

Shurkural (TMO)] I can make a dog head.

[Imari (Mike)] give it a go

[Indigo (Lisa)] (who? what?)

Shurkural (TMO)] A bird is easier, I think.

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 6'11".

Shurkural (TMO)] (swords ready)

Shurkural (TMO)] (no voice?)

Shurkural (TMO)] Hackity slash

[Shurkural]] (TMO) swings swords

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 8'00".

[Shurkural]] (TMO) puts swords away, and hands together to form a hawk silhouette and flaps the wings.

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 6'10".

[Shurkural]] (TMO) is ready to dodge

[Imari (Mike)] don't forget to make bird noises

Shurkural (TMO)] It worked!

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 3'02".

[Indigo (Lisa)] You are awesome!

Shurkural (TMO)] I GOTTA PEE!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Want to go next?

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's a good thing these faces don't really want literal things.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ready Imari? Just like Shurkural for both voices,

[Imari (Mike)] sure

[Imari (Mike)] bird hands

[Imari (Mike)] kind of like jazz hands

[Master (to GM only)] blades spring out slicing back and forth.mp3 moved 8'10".

Indigo (Lisa) readies his swords again for the first voice

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] Indigo moved 2'10".

[Master] Indigo moved 8'08".

[Master] Indigo moved 12'03".

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sorry got jumbled with Imari moving

[Master] Time of Day: 03:36 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 343 SKR.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (didn't mean to not do it when I saw my icon move)

[Master] nods

[Master] who is moving forward to that other face

[Indigo (Lisa)] I will

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 3'11".

[Master] Indigo moved 4'11".

[Indigo (Lisa)] (tmo is afk and mike can't hear)

[Imari (Mike)] do the birdy again

Indigo (Lisa) kneels and sings "Oh great King Cowles"

[Imari (Mike)] or stab at the air

[Master] which way does Indigo go?

Indigo (Lisa) tries to remember the words and sings loudly

[Master] right or left?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (left)

[Master] Indigo moved 6'05".

[Master] Indigo moved 15'07".

[Indigo (Lisa)] (voice asks you to kneel and sing to the king

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] Indigo moved 1'02".

Indigo (Lisa) backs up

Shurkural (TMO)] (move like z past his foe)

[Imari (Mike)] imari will do what indigo does

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 6'03".

[Indigo (Lisa)] (like Z? didn't understand it)

Shurkural (TMO)] (zirchev)

[Master] Indigo moved 3'00".

[Master] Indigo moved 2'04".

[Imari (Mike)] is there a reason why the rooms we've explored keep going dark?

Shurkural (TMO)] (just abbreviating names I don't know how to spell)

[Imari (Mike)] i'm pretty sure that tapestry up there is the one on teh other side of the door

[Indigo (Lisa)] (want to catch up?)

Shurkural (TMO)] (what does she do to get past this hext face?)

Shurkural (TMO)] *next

[Master] Indigo is caught behind a wall of force

Shurkural (TMO)] Sidestep?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (kneel and sing to praise king Cowles to get past the one you are in front of)

[Shurkural]] (TMO) kneels. "I LOooove, King Cowles!"

[Master] to Mike I am concealing the rooms and leaving the coridoors open as you close doors

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 7'07".

Shurkural (TMO)] Again? I just did this.

[Master] right or left

[Shurkural]] (TMO) kneels. "I LOOooove King Cowles!"

Shurkural (TMO)] (left)

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 21'02".

[Master] Indigo moved 2'07".

Shurkural (TMO)] (that was IC, btw. She did it the first time before the voice. ;) )

[Shurkural]] (TMO) sidesteps.

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 3'02".

[Imari (Mike)] Imari moved 17'09".

[Imari (Mike)] sings

[Master] Imari moved 9'03".

[Imari (Mike)] and sidesteps

[Imari (Mike)] not sure how we know that's how he moved

Shurkural (TMO)] I am really beginning to dislike this voice.

[Imari (Mike)] have we been findign corpses along the way?

[Master] no to Mike

[Shurkural]] (TMO) walks backward into the next passage.

[Master] and Z was the hunter

[Master] and Shur is trapped behind that wall of force

Shurkural (TMO)] Tch. Lemme try crawling like through the grass or bushes. Hunting I can do.

[Shurkural]] (TMO) crawls toward the wall of force.

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 12'07".

Shurkural (TMO)] Hah! I can do that.

[Shurkural]] (TMO) kneels and looks at the ground.

Indigo (Lisa) gets down on knees and crawls forward to catch up with Shur

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 6'07".

[Master] as Shur gets down on her knees swords come swinging out over head

[Master] ready to decapitate anyone standing

[Master] Indigo moved 7'08".

Shurkural (TMO)] I don't gotta pee anymore.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yuck

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 10'02".

[Master] Indigo moved 9'00".

[Imari (Mike)] guess i'll crawl and stay down

[Shurkural]] (TMO) shrugs.

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 6'07".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 2'11".

Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 6'11".

[Imari (Mike)] what now?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Vilmar

[Master] Indigo moved 16'11".

[Imari (Mike)] vilmar!

[Imari (Mike)] we know that place

[Master] Imari moved 20'03".

[Imari (Mike)] by it's name on the website

Shurkural (TMO)] Didn't know the place used to be called Love.

[Indigo (Lisa)] lol

Shurkural (TMO)] Vilmar

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 19'05".

Indigo (Lisa) looks at door

[Indigo (Lisa)] (it is a door?)

[Master] double doors

Indigo (Lisa) knocks

[Master] nothing

Indigo (Lisa) tries to open one

[Master] (just a sec guys sorry people are here now and distracting me brb)

Shurkural (TMO)] Weird for this place. They ain't talking.

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thought it would be safe to be polite.

Shurkural (TMO)] I think I was happier getting ready to fight werewolves without any silver weapons.

Indigo (Lisa) laughs

[Shurkural]] (TMO) grins.

Shurkural (TMO)] Attack: Bastard Sword; one hand:: is NO LONGER ARMED.

Shurkural (TMO)] Attack: Dagger/Dirk:: is now ARMED.

[Indigo (Lisa)] But I see why legend has it no one leaves this place.

Shurkural (TMO)] Attack: Short Sword:: is now ARMED.

Shurkural (TMO)] Not sane, anyways.

[Indigo (Lisa)] It is too bad Red Cloak wasn't brave enough to come in here.

Shurkural (TMO)] Listen for voices. Maybe he followed us in.

[Indigo (Lisa)] We might have passed him swinging by on the pendulum.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I doubt it.

Shurkural (TMO)] Wanna be nervous? Maybe he can turn invisible, and maybe the faces don't go off for invisible people.

Shurkural (TMO)] He could be right here!

Indigo (Lisa) laughs

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's not how it works.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Scarlet could make herself invisible

[Indigo (Lisa)] But people could still hear her walking

[Shurkural]] (TMO) listens.

[Indigo (Lisa)] and she was there the whole time

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe if he had one of those gas spells

[Indigo (Lisa)] where he becomes a vapor cloud?

Shurkural (TMO)] Yeah, I have those sometimes.

[Indigo (Lisa)] that might work

Shurkural (TMO)] Oh, never mind.

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] I am back but stuck

[Master] I can only chat apparently

Indigo (Lisa) looks confused for a second then gets it and laughs

[Master] working on fixing that

[Indigo (Lisa)] (no visuals? need to reboot?)

[Master (to GM only)] speaker area 30.mp3 moved 8'00".

[Master] can you see the map?

[Master] I cannot?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I can)

[Imari (Mike)] i can

[Master] sigh

Shurkural (TMO)] (not yet)

[Master] I will have to restart everything apparently

[Master] so lets call it a night here

[Master] you guys did great

[Master] TMO was spot on

[Indigo (Lisa)] he was!!!

[Master] I have to reset Klooge at a minimum

[Master] so I will save and post things

[Indigo (Lisa)] we are all alive! Yay!!

Shurkural (TMO)] (it's a start!)

[Master] have a great night everyone
