[Master] and such
[Master] and invite in your inbox for the dropbox folder with the files in it
[Master] and for your clarification Mario Mylwood is about 200 miles away from Dryads Lair
[Master] so your earlier boast of getting here in 4 days was a bit off, it was more like a week (9 days)
[Mario-93878] thanks. i am trying to sort out the charcters and their involement with each other, and i know that will come with more play time
[Master] those are questions Lisa can help with also
[Mario-93878] But the Earl has such fast horses!!
[Master] grins
[Master] the closest would be 120 miles to the river then take a boat from there
[Master] which is a reasonable thing to do
[Master] I showed you the Google Earth plug in when you were over that time
[Master] Mylwood is not on the versoin on the website... yet
[Master] a few more sessions/things to reveal then I will put a newer version up
[Mario-93878] i feel lke ive made a few mistakes, from my "ignorance' of the world, but everything seems to have worked itself out, so far
[Master] I just finished putting in 104 countries in Terraguard
[Mario-93878] yes, im a very visual person, so seeing the map helped for sure
[Lisa] really we are all new here so it is learning and making new contacts for all of us
[Master] TMO is doing dinner then will be in
[Master] who knew he had to eat or that you have to feed kids
[Mario-93878] so i beg forgiveness in advance.. :0)
[Mario-93878] they have thumbs, they can use a can opener
[Master] exactly
[Mario-93878] a dog, on the other hand,...
[Master] by the way Mario you can go to Edit and Prefernces if you want to change your name to remove the numbers
[Mario-93878] cool, thanks
[Master] also by the way Mario, this is yoru third week back, ten games back and you get one of those paperweights I showed you for the 1,000th session

[Master] New players get them at the 100th game, returning players at the 10th
[Mario] it'll go great with the first one I have
[Master] the person who made them for me also created a nice box for them
[Master] Lisa has that too
[Master] very treasure like
[Mario] how many games before i get the box?
[Master] grins
[Master] the same 10
[Mario] lolol
[Master] have you talked to Robert about the game?
[Master] told him what you are doing?
[Mario] i told him how much fin i had the these first sessions, but he just downloaded Fallout 4, and if i know Robert, not even Julie will see a lot of him now
[Master] yeah
[Master] Lisa did you want to continue with your conversations ?
[Master] Mario you said you had a question about the email/story hook?
[Mario] i do, but for you only, ill PM you
[Master] ok
[Mario] no offense, Lisa..!
[Lisa] it's ok
[Master] so when either of you is ready to start
[Lisa] we can start whenever
[Lisa] I was posting online so that my stuff wasn't taking up game time
[Master] Lord Branadarus moved 4'00".
[Master] Branwyn moved 4'11".
[Master] Lord Haskin and [Marisu]] moved 32'10".
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] (playing this out as just before the Lord Teron collapses)
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Branwyn,
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] who is Countess Doeskin with tonight?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh, she is with Lord Haskin of Mylwood
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Mylwood?
Lord Branadarus (Master) looks a bit puzzled
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] where is that?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He seems to be of ill health. Always coughing and sweating
[Mario] I am back at the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Near Golinar? Phillipe seemed to know of it.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] lol
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Golinar is quite aways away
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] so yes it could be I suppose
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He is the son of a dying Earl
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So he seems to be set to inherit
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I do not know if I should congratulate him or mourn him
[Branwyn (Lisa)] They have acres of sheep. Indigo seemed to find that amusing
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I suppose though I should properly welcome him
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Certainly.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 4'01".
[Master] Lord Branadarus moved 2'10".
Lord Branadarus (Master) warm smile
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Lord Haskin, how are you this evening?
Lord Haskin (Mario) eyes darting
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] im fine, thank you, such a wonder ful ball, the music is delightfl
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] and the spirits are robust
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] You should have been here for the AMbassador's welcoming celebration
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] there was a truely unique singer
Lord Haskin (Mario) sips with a shaky hand
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am glad you are doing well. May I introduce you to Lord Branadarus of the kingdom of Cornelia.
Lord Branadarus (Master) smiles and nods
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Mylwood you say?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] where is your Earldom?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes, just about nine days east, but with the sper stteds we breed, one can make it in much less
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I prefer river traffic myself
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] a minor skirmish with pirates is healthy for one's soul
Lord Haskin (Mario) looking over the Lord's shoulder
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Marisu and I should probably release you and allow you both to dance with the Princesses of Golinar.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes, id rather skirmish on solid ground than a rolling battlefield
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] So you are close to the PRincipality then
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] beholden to Dryads Lair
Lord Branadarus (Master) glances over at Branwyn
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] YEs, yes, of course, the principality
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] have you worked out the details of who is beholden to whom?
Lord Haskin (Mario) takes a long swig
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You cannot let Indigo dance with them all evening.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes, beholden...
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Oh I would rather let Indigo do all of the dancing for me
Branwyn (Lisa) frowns
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I have my own betrothed here to dance with
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Too bad she has not agreed to be so as of yet
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] That is a terrible disapointment I grant you
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] he says with a twinkle in his eye
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] One that I hope to resolve in the near future
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] you would make a fine couple
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Lord Haskin, are you married?

[Master] as we all settle back in
[TMO] I broke Bob
[Mario] I am back at the keyboard.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] lol, welcome!
[TMO] Computers tremble before me!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hi TMO :) )
[TMO] (howdy y'all. I see we're still partying it up)
[Mario] i typed a whole soliloquy, about love and my emotions, and it didnt post. oh well...
[Master] Marisu, Branwyn, Haskin
[TMO] (I believe the delicate touch of Shurkural is required in this situation?)
[TMO] (no, wait.. wrong one)
[Master] grins
[Master] Ilero and Shur are right there too
[Master] you have all three voices in your head going
[Master] [Ilero]] moved 7'06".
[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 3'06".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you should see a doctor about that)
[TMO] (I've barely got my voice in my head right now. ;) what do I need to know to get started?)
[Master] Marisu came to the ball with Haskin,
[Master] has had one dance
[Master] he went to get her drinks
[Master] just returned with them
[Master] when Branwyn and Brandarus started talking to the two of them
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
[Marisu]] (TMO) takes a sip of her drink.
[Master] Ilero and Shur are trailing behind Branwyn
[Ilero]] (TMO) is lurking. "Lurk! Lurk!"
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Lord Haskin are you married?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i am not, the right woman has yet to be found
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] but there are a few roses in this garden
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] King Winston may have a selection of flowers for you
Marisu (TMO)] Indeed, Lord Haskin. I believe she's waiting for you. You mustn't keep her waiting.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] although an exotic specimen such as Countess Doeskin would be very interesting I would presume
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes, quite a bouquet he has
[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles. "You're too kind, Lord Branadarus."
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] she is a wonderful example of a rose, indeed
Lord Haskin (Mario) looks at Marisu, then quickly away
Branwyn (Lisa) raises her eyebrows
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps you should get her some water
Lord Haskin (Mario) focuses over the Lords shoulder
[Master] Lord Teron's Current Hit Points: adjusted to -28 (-10) - Dead
[Lord Teron (Master)] a strangled scream
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (still no priests in the room)
[Master] Sam moved 1'03".
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] (omg, i had my headphones on! yikes!)
[Sam (Master)] Lord Teron!
[Marisu]] (TMO) turns to look.
Branwyn (Lisa) turns around "What was that?"
Lord Haskin (Mario) eyes wide as saucers
Shurkural (TMO)] Hey, I think that old dude just keeled over.
Branwyn (Lisa) sees the body on the floor "If this is a murder we are not solving it! We have enough investigations as it is."
[Master] Lord Branadarus moved 15'04".
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Lord Sam, what is it?
[Sam (Master)] Lord Branadarus, Lord Teron is dead
Lord Branadarus (Master) looking around
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] points at Ilero and Shur
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] beckons them over
[Ilero]] (TMO) drifts over.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) looks excited as she walks quickly over.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Lord Sam you know Ambassador Branwyn's companions?
[Sam (Master)] Yes Prince Ilero,
Lord Haskin (Mario) whispers under breath "dead??!"
[Sam (Master)] thank you for your help
Ilero (TMO)] How hye help?
Sam (Master) looking around at the guests
[Sam (Master)] I will take care of the guests, can you help restore order here, move the body to a quieter place?
[Sam (Master)] I beleive Marisu was here with you?
[Sam (Master)] she could help you ?
[Master] Lord Branadarus moved 4'04".
[Ilero]] (TMO) nods. He turns and gestures at Marisu.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Lord Brightbint

Michael is receiving the map ballroom...
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] could I trouble you to raise a toast please
Michael has received the map ballroom.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] we need to distract from this horrible blight on the King's ball

Lord Brightbint (Master) nods
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hi Michael!)

Michael has left the game on Fri Nov 13 20:25:32 EST 2015
[Master] OK so
[Master] in the ball room
[Master] Ilero and Marisu have Lord Teron's body
[Master] and take it out the doors to the north
[Master] Lord Brightbint offers up a shaking toast
Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero and Shur - Marisu's better suited to crowd detail)
[Lord Brightbint (Master)] (ok)
[Lord Brightbint (Master)] Honored Guests, we offer a salute to King Winston of Golinar who has traveled far to present his daughter's into society
[Lord Brightbint (Master)] We are all grateful for his continued support and please let us continue our celebration in the mood it was intended
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Here here!
[Master] Lord Teron moved 34'06".
[Master] [Ilero]] moved 48'05".
[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 52'02".
[Master] Lord Brightbint moved 2'07".
[Master] Lord Branadarus moved 11'08".
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Are you ok Branwyn?
Lord Branadarus (Master) glances at Lord Haskin,
[Marisu]] (TMO) gestures for the servants to bring out more drinks.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] you look white as a sheet
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] um, no. Im fine. I just need refreshment, thats all
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Who is Lord Teron?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Did you know Lord Teron?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I have no idea who he is
[Ilero]] (TMO) takes the body to a side room and looks it over for anything obviously wrong.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i have heard the name vaguely, but i have never had the pleasure. Looks like i nebverwill
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I didn't want to crowd the body and help heighten the scene. He just collapsed? It didn't look messy did it?
Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] [Ilero]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!
Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] [Ilero]]: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!
[Master] for Ilero, there is no obvious damage to the body but make an observationcheck
[Master] and there you go
[Master] Ilero opens his clothing and finds a holy symbol underneath his shirt, it appears this was a priest of Loki,
[Master] He recently drank something,
Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] [Ilero]]: Pick Pockets check:(d100) [1d100=80] 80 - ROLL FAILED against 15!!
[Master] those are the only two things you see out of the ordinary you did not expect
[Master] then again you are at a ball, everyone is drinking
[Ilero]] (TMO) hides the holy symbol in a pocket and closes his clothing back up. He then takes the cup and sets it aside where it won't be obvious or bothered.
[Master] ok
Ilero (TMO)] (brb)
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Lord Haskin it seems you have the honors of all of us
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] as the only person who has heard or knows the man
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] what do you know?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] and how can you help Branwyn?
[Master] Sam moved 15'00".
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes, he lived in Mylwood for a few years, and had made audience with my father once.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Where is he from?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i remeber father saying he had alteroir motives, and since i was young, i didnt question that.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] is that drink here yet??
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i cannot say his origins, i was young when he came around
Lord Branadarus (Master) gestures to servatns to bringa tray of drinks over for Lord Sam and the group
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He was invited here. Someone else here has to know him.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Lord Sam, I am so sorry. Who was Lord Teron?
[Sam (Master)] As far as I can tell he was here to represent Mylwood
[Sam (Master)] that is what he said when he presented himself
Sam (Master) looking at Haskin
Branwyn (Lisa) looks over at Lord Haskin
Lord Haskin (Mario) visibly shaking
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] wow, another drink would be awesome right about now. Ill go look for one
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Lord Haskin, wait!
[Sam (Master)] Oh I am sure there will be plenty in just a moment
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] very well
[Sam (Master)] perhaps you would like to sit and talk in private?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] that would be best
[Sam (Master)] Branwyn makes an excellent dinner companion
[Sam (Master)] and she has some very ineresting friends who help her find out all sorts of things
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes, im sure she does
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are too kind Lord Hightower. Or perhaps we should present ourselves to King Winston. We should do that before too long or he may feel we are slighting him.
Sam (Master) calls over, Sir Indigo
Indigo (Lisa) sighs to Penelope and then hurries over to Lord Hightower
Indigo (Lisa) bows "yes?"
Sam (Master) smile at Indigo
[Sam (Master)] Lord Haskin needs some help here in the Palace, you know of the side rooms fairly well, could you please help him with those?
[Sam (Master)] Assist him in not getting lost
Ilero (TMO)] (back)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Is he going to be sick again?
Sam (Master) looking at Haskin
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] im fine now.for the most part im better now
[Sam (Master)] Perhaps Lady Penelope could help you Sir Indigo
[Sam (Master)] Lord Branadarus and Ambassador Branwyn will be paying their respects to the King
[Sam (Master)] then they will join you,
[Sam (Master)] would you like them to meet you where?
Indigo (Lisa) nods "We'll put him away safely."
Indigo (Lisa) nods his head towards Haskin "Let's go."
[Marisu]] (TMO) goes out to find Ilero and make sure everything went smoothly.
[Master] Indigo moved 25'05".
[Master] Penelope moved 23'11".
[Master] Lord Haskin moved 27'11".
[Master] Indigo and Penelope take Haskin to one of the side rooms
[Master] does Marisu wnat to go with them? or stay with Branwyn?
Marisu (TMO)] (unless she's summoned, she was headed to check on Ilero)
[Master] [Shurkural]], [Ilero]] and Lord Teron moved 13'11".
[Master] Indigo moved 23'10".
[Master] Penelope moved 24'08".
[Master] Lord Haskin moved 25'08".
Lord Haskin (Mario) suddenly calm and relaxed
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] well, this is a strange turn of events
Marisu (TMO)] (someone get this man some quaaludes, stat!)
[Master] [Marisu]] moved 51'11".
[Master] Branwyn moved 21'08".
[Master] Lord Branadarus moved 17'09".
[Indigo (Lisa)] So if you're not sick why do you need a side room?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] better to tell you in private
Indigo (Lisa) shrugs "I think I know anyway."
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i could not have foretold of these events, but i am vindicated
[Indigo (Lisa)] You're probably in trouble with Lord Sam for dancing with the Princesses and making me dance with almost all of them.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i am as shicked as everyone, who thought this was even possible?
[Indigo (Lisa)] This is Lady Penelope by the way. Lady Penelope, this is Lord Haskin
Penelope (Master) curtsies
Indigo (Lisa) looks confused
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] my lady, it is an honor to make your acquaintance
[Indigo (Lisa)] What's possible?
Lord Haskin (Mario) bows
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] to be rid of this burden, and it not from my hand
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Lord Haskin's hand
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hmmm
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i shall benefit from the actions of others, but i benefit all the same
Lord Haskin (Mario) smiles
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe you better wait for Branwyn or Marisu.
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm not sure what you're talking about.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] may i have an audience with both fair Ladies?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Lord Sam said they're coming
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe you should sit down for a bit.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] thank you for the courtesy
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes, thatd be fine
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Your Highness, it is good to see you again, bows
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] may I introduce my betrothed, Ambassador Marquessa Branwyn the Mysterious of the Kingdom of Drillian
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] bows
Branwyn (Lisa) shoots him a piercing look
King Winston of Golinar (Master) mouth twitches, then nods
Branwyn (Lisa) turns to King Winston and curtsies
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is an honor to meet you Your Majesty
[King Winston of Golinar (Master)] Welcome Ambassador
[King Winston of Golinar (Master)] You have traveled far
[King Winston of Golinar (Master)] are you enjoying living in civilization ?
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "I am enjoying myself very much indeed."
[King Winston of Golinar (Master)] That is a lovely dress,
[King Winston of Golinar (Master)] magic I take it?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, I have been told. It only remains such without the rays of the sun upon it.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I haven't tested it.
[King Winston of Golinar (Master)] Then it would be best if my daughters do not take it to their heads to wish to duplicate it
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Your daughters are quite lovely.
[King Winston of Golinar (Master)] Prince Branadarus,
[King Winston of Golinar (Master)] Your brother was most gracious when he was in my court
[King Winston of Golinar (Master)] pauses
Lord Branadarus (Master) smiles
Lord Branadarus (Master) bows
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I will be sure to tell my father that you approve of him
Lord Branadarus (Master) winks at Branwyn
[King Winston of Golinar (Master)] Your sister is well I take it?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Of course your highness,
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] she has never been better
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] her third son was born just this year
Branwyn (Lisa) stands listening attentively
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] But I should not bore my companoin with our trivial concerns
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I will visit you here in the palace tomorrow?
King Winston of Golinar (Master) nods, as is appropriate
Lord Branadarus (Master) bows
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Your Highnes
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] and backs up
[Master] Lord Branadarus moved 4'06".
[Master] Branwyn moved 6'07".
Branwyn (Lisa) curtsies again
Lord Branadarus (Master) hand on Branwyn's arm
[Marisu]] (TMO) appears on the outskirts of the group, waiting for Branwyn.
[Master] Lord Branadarus and Branwyn moved 14'08".
[Master] [Marisu]] moved 33'08".
[Master] Branwyn moved 1'09".
[Master] Lord Branadarus, [Marisu]] and Branwyn moved 13'01".
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I M terribly sorry you had to be there for that
[Branwyn (Lisa)] For what?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] /mw warm smile
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] thank you
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] thank you very much
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I should go repair some of the damage,
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I take it Countess Doeskin?
Branwyn (Lisa) looks puzzled
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] you wish to speak with Banwyn?
[Marisu]] (TMO) nods. "Yes, please, Lord Branadarus."
Lord Branadarus (Master) bows deeply to Marisu
Lord Branadarus (Master) bows deeper to Branwyn and kisses her hand
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Until tomorrow
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Tomorrow?
[Master] Lord Branadarus moved 20'09".
Branwyn (Lisa) thinking of her calendar
Lord Branadarus (Master) leaves
Branwyn (Lisa) not coming up with anything she says absentmindedly to Marisu "Did you know he is a prince?"
[Marisu]] (TMO) shakes her head. "No, I didn't."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is strange.
[Marisu]] (TMO) holds out a handkerchief in her hands and unfolds it to show Branwyn the holy symbol. "Ilero found this on the body, worn as a normal symbol, under the clothes."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] A priest?
Marisu (TMO)] He's taken the man's cup, in case we can find a way to check it for poison.
Marisu (TMO)] I don't know if he was a priest, or just a follower.
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs "It was good that he did it, but I do hope it was a natural death."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you know what god that symbol belongs to?
Marisu (TMO)] Ilero said Loki.
Branwyn (Lisa) shakes her head "I have no idea."
Marisu (TMO)] Jennevieve would know. Hopefully it's just a coincidence.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Too bad Seremella can't stop dancing with everyone here and Kenna is busy chasing Jondar about the buffet table. They might be able to help.
Marisu (TMO)] I can fetch either of them if you like. It shouldn't be too hard.
[Master] (one round behind, along with Tristan grins)
[Marisu]] (TMO) shoots them both with a crossbow.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh, let them have their fun. There will be plenty of time for more suspcious death investigations.
[Master] lol
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So what happened to Lord Haskin. I wanted to mention him to King Winston but it didn't seem appropriate what with detailing Lord ... Prince Branadarus' family tree
Marisu (TMO)] Should we put the symbol back on the body, or keep it?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh I don't know. Perhaps we should return it. If his body is claimed without his favorite holy symbol, it might not go over well.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Ilero was very good to have noticed it.
[Marisu]] (TMO) nods. "Okay, I'll take it back to Ilero to do. And I think Indigo took care of Lord Haskin. I think I saw them leaving the room."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] After you do that, shall we check in on him?
Marisu (TMO)] It'd probably be best if we do. He seems to have these spells any time anyone starts paying attention to him too closely.
[Master] [Marisu]] moved 20'08".
[Master] Branwyn moved 15'06".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Penelope, it is good to see you again.
Master smiles Thank you
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] Ambassador, I owe you and your whole party a huge apology
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you now? Then perhaps you may deliver it when your escort has arrived so that she may learn of it as well.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] as you wish, my lady
[Marisu]] (TMO) gives Ilero the holy symbol to put back, then heads over to Branwyn's side
[Master] [Marisu]] moved 8'11".
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles at Marisu "Lord Haskin has an announcement."
[Marisu]] (TMO) looks over to Lord Haskin
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] Yes m'Lady, as you all well know, things are not as they seem
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] if you permit me to explain...
[Master] (no time to explain, let me wrap up)
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] I am not Lord Haskin, although I know him well enogh to be him
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] got for it!
[Master] (was a quote from a movie, continue)
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs "Not again!"
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] oh, damn it...ok
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i was in his service, as a page and his squire, for six years
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] Lord Teron was also in His employ
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i was giaded into a fight with the Earl's son, in which i bested him, breaking his arm
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i ran off in a panic. Lord Teron went to my parent s Home to search form me.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] My father, the loving person he was, lied to save my life, and Lord teron had him killed
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i heard the news, and set off into the vast farmlands of Mylwood, living off the streets for a three moths, intil a farmer took me in
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] I wil not mention his name, as to protect him. if he was discovered, he would surely be put to death as well
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i changed my appearance to not be noticed,a nd plotted my revenge against Lord teron
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] I discovered he is/was an evil priest of Loki. I knew i coud not best him, so i concocted aplan
Marisu (TMO)] How were you planning to do that?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i have very little resources, so i did the best i could with what i had
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i gathered two potions, one of sleep and one of alignment change. I used the sleep on the Ambassador, so she wouldnt show tonight
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] and i planned to change the priest to good, so i could get close enough to slit his throuat
Marisu (TMO)] (TMO has a sudden urge to use that on Jennevieve)
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] idid not have an invite for tonight; hence the deceit to be invited
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] here's the vial, you can see it is not poison, i didnt know he would die tonight
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] but im glad he did,
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] my father has been avanged, not of my hand, but he is dead nonetheless
Marisu (TMO)] So, Branwyn. Do we tell Lord Sam, and how do we go about doing it?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i dreaded meeting anyone who could easily recognise, i was not the Earls son.
Indigo (Lisa) tugs on Penelope sleeve and whispers "That was a good story"
Penelope (Master) nods
[Indigo (Lisa)] People around here don't like to tell stories much.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] when you asked me to go to the library last night, i wasmortified, as nobility can eread, and i cannot
Lord Haskin (Mario) bows head in shame
Marisu (TMO) (to Master only)] what would I roll to see if she thinks he's telling the truth?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i acted so pompous to you all, and i apologize. i only mimicked thiose noble folk and the way they treated me
[Master (to TMO only)] observation
Marisu (TMO) (to GM only)] [Marisu]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] How did you pick us to be your decoys? Why Drillian?
Marisu (TMO) (to Master only)] She's going to be doing that to everyone who says they're nobility for a long time now. ;)
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] I concocted thias plan just two weeks ago, when i knew Lord Teron was coming to Dryads Lair fo rthe Ball, so I came ahead
[Master (to TMO only)] it appears to her that he is telling the truth
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i overheard the ambassador of Mylwood mention you and your party as she walked throught he streets
[Master (to Mario only)] you suspect he might have been trying to get one of the Princesses
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] As the evil man he was, i expected Lord Teron to be after one of the princesses
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i didnt think i could kill him...
Lord Haskin (Mario) puzzled how he died
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And if you would have and we were found to be accomplices?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We brought you here. We introduced you to the Prince of Dryads Lair.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What do you think would have happened to us if you were caught in your plans of murder?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] despite my behavior since i met you all, i am an honorable man.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes you did
Lord Haskin (Mario) hangs head in shame
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i deceived you all for my personal gain
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i am truly sorry
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] but i didnt kill him, i swear to (my good dont know who that is...)
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] (*god)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We shall see about that soon enough when the cup is checked for poison.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i have nothing to go back to Mylwood for it is like i am reborn now, my quest is over
[Penelope (Master)] whispers to Indigo, what do you think? you are a good judge of character, does wanting to kill an evil man make him a good man?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] the vial and cup shall set me free
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yeah, that part. But I don't think that's why Branwyn isn't happy.
Indigo (Lisa) looks at man "So what's your real name?"
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] ?me puppy dog eyes "Lady Marisu, you believe me, dont you?"
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i go by Anton now, thats what my farmer 'dad' named me
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] its best fi you didnt know my real name, as the Earl would surely have a bounty on me
[Marisu]] (TMO) sighs. "You seem to be telling the truth to me, but I'm not sure how good a judge of character I am any more. I really should have picked up on it a lot sooner."
Marisu (TMO)] (umm... we *are* mercenaries)
Marisu (TMO)] (even if we don't ever seem to charge for our services. ;) )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I knew something was wrong as soon as he kept coughing every time we asked a uestion about his home. But I am not thrilled to have been made unwitting accomplices to his murder plot.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That part of it I did not foresee.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] it wasnt murder, not tonight anyway. I didnt kill him
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i was only trying to change him to something i could later slide a dgger trhough his ribs
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i am just as surprised as you all are that he died
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] it could simply be coincidence. Do we know it was murder?
[Indigo (Lisa)] But wait ... if you made the evil man a good man then maybe he would feel bad about the whole thing and would have been sorry and you wouldn't have had to killl him.
[Indigo (Lisa)] You would have been killing a good man and not an evil man.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] that would be the best case scenario. but he DID kill my father, i would have had to kill him anyway
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] my father would be revenged
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] but certainly not here, in a Kings castle, during a Ball? i would never escape alive
[Marisu]] (TMO) thinks he may still not.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] he needed to pay for his crime. Repentance after the crime is (insert fancy word for not allowed)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So if there is no redemption for sins then we should not forgive you your transgressions against us?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] you cannot hardly compare deception to a party to murder of an innocent man
Marisu (TMO)] Deception with the intent to murder, by your own admission
Marisu (TMO)] And potentially making us accessories to your crime, even though we didn't know Lord Teron at all.
Marisu (TMO)] You say you didn't kill him, but your word is hardly trustworthy right now.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i didnt kill him, that was not the plan for tonight
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] if i may have the vial , i will gladly lick it, and the cup as well
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] if it were poison, i would surely die
Marisu (TMO)] We're not the authorities here. I don't think it's up to us. What do you think , Lady Branwyn?
[Penelope (Master)] whispers to Indigo, if he is good now and licks the cup does that turn him into evil? is that a good thing?
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs "I am rather tired of telling people that we have been duped by yet another imposter. Jondar with Lord Sam was bad enough."
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i didnt have to expose myself. I could have limped through this evening, and disappeared into the night, never to be found
Indigo (Lisa) shakes his head "I think the poison is in the cup and he's holding the good versus evil potion
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] but i felt compelled to open up to you,as...
Lord Haskin (Mario) tearing up now
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have no wish to call attention this foolishness of ours.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i have nothing left. I am empty now. No life mission, no need to go "home' whereever that is now
[Branwyn (Lisa)] A public embarrassment for us in not wanted or needed.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh stop it, will you!
Marisu (TMO) (to Master only)] Ilero isn't putting the symbol back on Teron's body. He's got some notion it may be useful for trying to trace more greeks, maybe thru magic
[Master (to TMO only)] ok
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes m'Lady
Lord Haskin (Mario) bows head
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We will test the cup. If it is poisoned, we shall hand you over to Prince Loplin.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You testing it here and dropping dead at the ball does us no favors either.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] if it is poison, i will willingly go as your prisoner
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If it is not poisened then I suppose we have served your purposes and you shall have no further need of us.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (seriously - where is a priest when you need one?)
Marisu (TMO)] (dead in the next room)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
[Master] lol
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] nice!
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] (i didnt do it)
Marisu (TMO)] (says the admitted liar. :P )
[Master] you could take all the evidence back to the residence
[Master] grins
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes that should be the plan)
[Master] the next person to join the group will be a paladin and no one will belive him
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (maybe if he has a white horse and shiny armour we would)
Marisu (TMO)] (are you kidding? next person to join goes straight to the Prince's dungeons!)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and nice hair)
[Master] laughs
[Master] go pull on the ears of Mike's characters to double check
[Ilero]] (TMO) drags some hapless PC to the doors of the palace. "He try meet us. Lock him up!"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Master] so how do you wan tto communicate what happend to Sam and what do you want to do to proceed with your investigation
[Ilero]] (TMO) confesses, "I'm really a bard, exiled from Drillians Lair, and I've been using you to bring me back so I can reclaim my families' lands!"
Ilero (TMO)] Oh, and I can talk normally...
[Master] lol
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)
Ilero (TMO)] ( 0:D back on topic now. Mandatory TMO silliness is now over)
[Master] Mario at least you got it out in two nights
[Master] Guy kept up his thing for over 6 months
Ilero (TMO)] (yep - well played)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Marisu, can you please make our excuses to Lord Hightower. Tell him we shall discuss it soon? You can smooth it over so he will be fine with it. Please.
Marisu (TMO)] (oh, this oughtta be fun. ;) )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you have dice rolls for these kinds of things)
[Marisu]] (TMO) looks thoughtful. "Of course."
[Marisu]] (TMO) walks slowly out, thinking of the best phrasing.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Penelope, you should come home with us for drinks and to wind down from all this excitement. We should like to have you join us.
Indigo (Lisa) beams
[Indigo (Lisa)] Would you like that?
Penelope (Master) curtsies, thank you Ambassador
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Since you have been here for the beginning of this drama, you are quite entitled to see how it plays out.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And I should like to know you better.
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
Penelope (Master) smiles
Marisu (TMO)] (make sure she isn't an imposter too? :P )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's ilero's job)
[Master] [Marisu]] moved 46'05".
[Master] Lord Branadarus moved 29'01".
[Master] Sam moved 19'01".
[Marisu]] (TMO) waits for Lord Sam's attenition.
[Master] Lord Branadarus moved 32'10".
[Sam (Master)] Marisu
[Sam (Master)] /
[Marisu]] (TMO) bows. "Sir, the Lady Branwyn sends her regrets, but Lord Haskin is feeling poorly and, as our guest, we should take him back to care for him. Prince Ilero and Shurkural are at your service if you require them further.
Marisu (TMO) (to GM only)] [Marisu]]: Etiquette check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!
Marisu (TMO)] [Marisu]]: Etiquette check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!
Sam (Master) nods
[Sam (Master)] Thank you for helping keep the King's ball away from this
Marisu (TMO)] We're happy to be of any help we can, my Lord.
[Sam (Master)] send word if there is anything that Branwyn needs from the Palace
Marisu (TMO)] [Marisu]]: Intimidation (Str) check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL FAILED against 8!!
Marisu (TMO)] (ignore that)
Marisu (TMO)] (it suddenly changed from chat window to main Klooge and space bar pressed the button
[Master] (does Branwyn want to use the Salon? or a meeting room? or the library? or dining room?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we can go to the salon)
[Master] the dungeon?
[Master] very well
[Marisu]] (TMO) curtsies. "Thank you. I hope we'll see you again soon, under more pleasant circumstances."
[Master] Lord Haskin moved 12'07".
[Master] Time of Day: 09:43 PM. Day 18 See ___ tre, Kye {Late Winter} 18th, 1266 TGR.
[Master] in the salon
[Master] Penelope sits on the far couch next to Indigo
Marisu (TMO)] (trial by dunking!)
[Master] Branwyn in her normal spot
[Master] Haskin standing in front of her
[Master] PHillipe standing to the side
[Master] Marisu in a chair to the side
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Phillipe, can you please find Jennevive?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] m'Lady, before you search me and think i am being deceitful (ha!), I want to give you this
Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master) nods
Lord Haskin (Mario) kneels, head down, and holds up a meager dagger with a crude F engraved
[Master] Phillipe Gaston Enquire moved 3'09".
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] A week after my father died, i visited my mother in the safety of darkness. When I left, she gave this to me.
Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master) gestures at Joseph
[Master] Joseph Shortkin moved 13'10".
[Master] Phillipe Gaston Enquire moved 15'04".
[Master] Phillipe Gaston Enquire moved 21'05".
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] its the only possession i have of my father. its final resting place was to be in the ribs of Lord teron
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] Please hold on to it until i am vindicated. It is all i have now.
Branwyn (Lisa) takes the dagger
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sit down and let us wait for Jennevive.
Marisu (TMO)] (another one for your collection?)
[Master] Lord Haskin moved 5'05".
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] thank you m'Lady
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I'm not taking that one)
[Master] Phillipe Gaston Enquire and Aunt Jennevive moved 20'04".
[Master] Aunt Jennevive moved 2'10".
[Master] Phillipe Gaston Enquire moved 24'02".
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Did you have an entertainign time at the ball?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Phillipe siad you wished to see me?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jennevive, I am glad you are still awake. You missed quite the interesting ball.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] it was great! oh, sorry...
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Really? It was great?
Lord Haskin (Mario) bows head tried=s to blend into the chair
Branwyn (Lisa) shakes her head
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This ... is Anton something or other.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] for all our Protection, just Anton, Lady Jennavive
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] and may I apologize to you as well
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Would you be so kind as to test this goblet Ilero is carrying for poison?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] You were Lord Haskin last night
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] so I take it that you want me to change him into a newt?
Lord Haskin (Mario) kneels
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] if you must, m'Lady
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Careful with that one. He is carrying a potion that could change you into the sweetest priestess you could ever imagine.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let's try the goblet first.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] oh?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] what would you like me to do?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Someone drank from the goblet Ilero absconded with and then promptly fell dead on the floor.
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
[Ilero]] (TMO) hands over the goblet.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] and you suspect poison
[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 29'04".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not sure, but we need to know.
Ilero (TMO)] Or can't handle drink
[Master] [Ilero]] moved 32'02".
Lord Haskin (Mario) biting my tongue, trying not to scream, ITS NOT POISON
Shurkural (TMO)] He was old. Maybe he just kicked it normal?
[Master] Aunt Jennevive 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+7) 17 rounds, it will turn black. There is a (7) 7% chance that I can detect the exact type of poison.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] This cup does not contain any poison
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] (WHEW!!!!)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you.
Ilero (TMO)] I find no wound.
Ilero (TMO)] *Hye
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] so tell me what happened
Marisu (TMO)] Lord Teron just fell over dead on the floor after taking a drink. Prince Ilero and Shurkural were asked to remove the body while Lord Brandarus kept the party distracted.
Marisu (TMO)] Ilero searched the body and kept the cup in case of foul play.
[Marisu]] (TMO) looks at Lord Haskin.
Branwyn (Lisa) waves the dagger in Anton's direction "And this one was planning on killing the recently deceased."
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] not tonight i wasnt, i could never get away with it
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i waited nine years, one more ight wasnt going to make a difference
[Ilero]] (TMO) sniffs.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (this was a 9 year plan? :) I thought is was a matter of months)
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] (he killed my father nine years ago)
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] (i hatched this plan just two weeks ago)
Ilero (TMO)] (nah, waited 9 years, just had plan and opportunity lately)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ok)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not that we would know that since everything he has said since he arrived has been pure fiction.
Lord Haskin (Mario) rolls eyes, thinking "she's right..."
Branwyn (Lisa) turns the dagger handle outward and offers it to Anton
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] so what did you do tonight then?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So the fates have had their revenge for you and you may continue onto a new quest.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] thank you m'Lady, since i received this from my mom, this was the longest i've been without it
[Ilero]] (TMO) pulls out a dagger of his own and lays it casually down on his leg.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] a new quest, i have none. I sold the last of my possessions to buy the potions, and secure travel here
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] ive been sleeping in unsecured barns while here. I have nowhere to go
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] if i may, m'Lady. And i have no conceivable right to ask...
Lord Haskin (Mario) eyes Ilero's dagger cautiously
[Ilero]] (TMO) watches what Anton does with his knife.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] but i am offering myself to you and your party, this noble group, as a servant. I can muck stalls or whatever you shall have of me
Lord Haskin (Mario) sheathes his knife safely and securely
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] the farmer who took me in, he was once in the Mylwood's Elite Guard. he, too, was exiled my Lord Teron. He showed me a thing or two about defending myself. I can be of service to you some how.
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Jennevive "Do we have a sign over the manor saying home for wayward adventurers or something?"
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] if you would have me, m'Lady?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] You are quite famous for being an adventurer
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This was supposed to be our simple quiet time
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] my life has been one big adventure, m'Lady, tis true
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i can be quiet, too
[Marisu]] (TMO) giggles. "So when do the simple quiet times start then?""
Lord Haskin (Mario) zips lips, drops key in shirt
Branwyn (Lisa) looks back at Anton "Surely you have better skills than mucking stables?
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Marisu "I keep waiting"
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes m'Lady, i am handy with a swod and dagger
Branwyn (Lisa) looks around the room "Any objections?"
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] You only called me up to check on a goblet for poison?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well, yes. If it was poison then we would be continuing on a completely different vein.
Ilero (TMO)] Can check truth maybe?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] truth about what?
[Ilero]] (TMO) nods toward Anton. "Whole story."
[Master] Aunt Jennevive casts a spell against : Memory Read: I read the memories of a target.
Ilero (TMO)] (that's a scary-sounding spell)
Lord Haskin (Mario) trying to suppress the memory of the farner's daughter
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] He believes he is telling the truth
[Ilero]] (TMO) nods in thanks.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] so what did you do tonight?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i slipped a potion of alignment change into an evil priest's drink
Ilero (TMO)] Found Greek priest.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] and he died
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] and evil greek priest? you killed him?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] not by hand, but to my benefit
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not Greek)
Ilero (TMO)] (oh, duh! Norse!! *headdesk*)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (branwyn has no clue but loki is norse)
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] ididnt kill anyone. lets not forget that
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry)
Ilero (TMO)] (wow. just... wow. )
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] he killed my father, i wanted revenge, and got it, indirectly
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Tell me what you did to who
TMO goes and finds a nice secluded corner to hide in.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i spiked Lord teron's drink with a potion of alignment change
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] Lord Teron was an evil Priest of Loki
[Ilero]] (TMO) pulls out the holy symbol on its chain and hands it over to Jennevieve.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i followed him for nine years, since he killed my father
Aunt Jennevive (Master) takes the holy symbol from Ielro
Branwyn (Lisa) eyes widen at seeing the symbol here
Aunt Jennevive (Master) looks at Haskin
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you are certain this was his?
Ilero (TMO)] Hye take from body, worn under clothes.
Ilero (TMO)] Not look stashed or put t'ere.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] while he was at the Earl's palace, a few of us pages sneaked around at night. I saw his dorr craked an inch, and i saw him doing evil worship-y things.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] Then when he killed my father, i dove deeper. He was evil all right
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] He would have to be to be a priest of Loki
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Loki is a god who has requirements
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] to be devious
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] to be evil
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] he laughs with the chaos
Marisu (TMO)] I was just wondering about that.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] why else would he kill my father??
Aunt Jennevive (Master) looks at Marisu
Marisu (TMO)] If Lord Teron was slipped this potion and changed alignment, could he have been struck down by Loki for not meeting the requirements?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sounds like someone we know
Aunt Jennevive (Master) nods to Marisu
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] to have your's God's blessings ripped away from you
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] would be a horrible thing
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So he did kill the priest?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] I didnt kill anyone!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I didn't realize at the party that he had actually administered the potion.
Lord Haskin (Mario) lowers voice "sorry, m'Lady"
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] When I went to get Marisu and I a drink, i did the deed
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Now you tell me he gave it to the priest and his body went into some sort of system shock and he dropped dead
[Marisu]] (TMO) nods. "And the shock of it killed him is my guess. No knife needed."
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] win win, i suppose...
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Any way that this could be discovered?
Lord Haskin (Mario) whispers "yay for me!"
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Where is the body?
Ilero (TMO)] Palace.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We brought him to this thing and so we could be held responsible for this murder
Ilero (TMO)] (or wherever the party was)
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] Just tell every one that i returned to Mylwood, on word om the Earl turning for the worst
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i can change my appearance, again, and be Anton tomorrow
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And we house a muderer?
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i didnt KILL ANYONE!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I beg to differ
[Ilero]] (TMO) looks skeptically at Haskin.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jennevive just told us you did
Lord Haskin (Mario) lowers voice "sorry m'Lady, but i didnt...mean to"
Ilero (TMO)] Yes you did. Just not tonight.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] labelme a murderer if you must. i shall think of it as an unfortunate accident
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] This Anton is a chaotic force
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] he might be of use in the household
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Feel free to take him under your wing then.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes, m'Lady i can be of great use
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This is what happens when non magic users meddle in things they know nothing about.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] ask me to do something, anything, i'll do it with a smile!
[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "All us kill at some point. Not murder t'at I know of, but not big difference. Trust is problem."
Lord Haskin (Mario) nods, bows head. "yes, i do understand that Ilero, you are correct"
Ilero (TMO)] (I need to put the kids to bed - they're up late, but I shouldn't keep them waiting much longer)
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i came here under false pretenses, but the need for that is past now
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] i have no further reason to be deceitful
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (we will wrap up soon TMO
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] have a great night)
Ilero (TMO)] Hugh.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] look, i'll even tell you my real name, so that if you should ever feel betrayed, you can take me to Mylwood and have me put to death
[Ilero]] (TMO) snorts and runs a finger on the haft of his knife.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] shall i turn over my dagger to you again?
[Ilero]] (TMO) shakes his head slightly. "No need."
Lord Haskin (Mario) slightly imtimidated of Illero
Lord Haskin (Mario) nods with respect
Ilero (TMO)] (that's the whole point. ;) )
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] (it worked!!)
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] Maybe i can improve my meager skills by watching a master as youself Ilero?
[Ilero]] (TMO) looks over at Branwyn. "Hugh probably use help."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is true. He can take Hoffman's room for now.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] my own room? m'Lady, i am not worthy I havent had my own room...ever
Branwyn (Lisa) shrugs "then sleep in the stables. It matters not to me."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We'll figure out what to do with you in the morning.
Lord Haskin (Mario) drops to knees " thak you m'Lady! my new life mission is to make you realize that taking me in is not a mistake"
Branwyn (Lisa) chuckles a bit "Hopefully this mission shall not take 9 years to accomplish."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sit down and relax now.
[Lord Haskin (Mario)] yes m'Lady
Lord Haskin (Mario) sits wiping tears from eyes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh Phillipe, I want to put forth my question for the morrow.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] yes?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I shall wish to know everything I don't know of Prince Branadarus and the kingdom of Cornelia and why people call him Lord and why I was not informed he was in fact the son of a king please.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] He calls himself Lord
Marisu (TMO)] If he actually is, given our track record.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] if he wished he could rightly be called a prince
Ilero (TMO)] Mebbe hye try t'at.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Cornelia is beholden to Terrabrink, he is not here in Dryads Lair out of fealty
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles at Ilero "Lord Ilero is better?"
[Ilero]] (TMO) closes his eyes and sighs. "No."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I understand.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He is the second son?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Perhaps Prince Soucha would be better?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Lord Branadarus is.... I think the third son?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] there is an older sister, she is the oldest I think
[Ilero]] (TMO) rubs his forehead, then waves a hand over toward Branwyn. "Branadarus is topic."
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] then there are sons
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I am not fully versed in their lineage they are not here in the city
[Shurkural]] (TMO) wraps her arms around Ilero's arm and hugs it.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] the only reason Lord Branadarus is here is to continue his life as an adventurer
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I just wanted to be sure since I was surprised for perhaps the 100th time since we have arrived
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] which is why he is enamored with you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He told me he was retired
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] are you retired?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He is enamored of me because I am an adventurer? That's insulting.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am certainly not retired.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I would believe the same of him
Marisu (TMO)] Maybe he wants to get back into it, and you're what he wants to be.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Branwyn is one of the most desireable women in the city
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] her standing and wealth set her apart
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] her looks attract others
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I imagine that many might try to get into our household on a ruse
Marisu (TMO)] (need to go put children to bed before they need a spanking first)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (go, have a great night)
Marisu (TMO)] (thanks for the game all!)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] looking over at ANton
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Enough of all that. I do not want hear any more.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (goodnight!)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] perhaps in the morning
Marisu (TMO)] (just happened to notice that Ilero isn't that far from next level)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (a few more spell entered? :) )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (go kill something)
Marisu (TMO)] (lol - sorry, I haven't done much of that yet)
[Master] OK
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you get the next red scroll)
[Master] ending here
Marisu (TMO)] (between DW and family tree, I've got my spare time accounted for)
