[mvetere-95136] yes, i have it open

[Michael] okay. if it isn't the defuault setting. there should be a shield symbol in that panel. click on that shield and you should see initiative

[Michael] do you see that?

[mvetere-95136] i clicked the shield, its showing initiative

[mvetere-95136] +10

[Michael] alirhgt. well, bob helped me alot from here. when you have weapons. it will be under the initiative. a list of different weapons that are equipped from the character sheet

[Michael] do you know how to access the character sheet?

[mvetere-95136] i do

[Michael] okay. well bob placed the weapons for me and then they automatically show on the tab you just opened.

[Michael] from here i'm not really sure how to do that stuff. one moment

[mvetere-95136] i only have a dagger right now

[mvetere-95136] Anton: Attack: Dagger/Dirk: (16-(d20+1)) [1d20=17] -2

[Michael] oh okay. so you now know how to roll

[Michael] congrats!

[mvetere-95136] ROFL!!!

[mvetere-95136] bob is rigfht here showing me how

[Michael] did i help at all with that?

[Michael] sorry. i'm more of a step by step by step person

[mvetere-95136] oh you did! Bob is busy wprepping and setting up for tonight

[mvetere-95136] Bob mentioned to target someone first, then click the Attack button in the profeciency line

[mvetere-95136] i thought i had to select the weapon first

[Michael] one moment. have to refresh memory

[mvetere-95136] Aunt Jennevive targets Hugh D'Ambray. Distance: 30'05"

Mike has joined the game on Fri Nov 27 18:51:56 EST 2015

Mike is receiving the map New Residence second floor...

Mike has received the map New Residence second floor.

[Michael] Hugh D'Ambray moved 22'11".

[mvetere-95136] irofl, i selected the wrong character to use to target!!

[Michael] ask bob if i can try to attack jennevieve to see if i can creat a decent example without facing the wrath of bob

[mvetere-95136] hes in the restroom. one moment please...

[Michael] Hugh D'Ambray moved 10'08".

[Michael] Hugh D'Ambray targets Aunt Jennevive. Distance: 0'08"

[mvetere-95136] he says go ahead

[Michael] okay. so my personal preference (because there is more then one way) is to click my character on the map itself with a right click

[Michael] let me know when you do that

[mvetere-95136] Anton targets Hugh D'Ambray. Distance: 28'05"

[Michael] okay so that is good

[Michael] then bring up your dice panel

[mvetere-95136] Anton: Attack: Dagger/Dirk: (16-(d20+1)) [1d20=7] 8. HITS Hugh D'Ambray (AC FINAL: 10)!!!

[Michael] thanks alot

[Michael] so you know now how to attack

[mvetere-95136] rofl sorry! but yes, i have it now THANKS!!

[Michael] then you can also remove target from the same thing

[mvetere-95136] bob will adjust it all back again

[Michael] lol

[mvetere-95136] Anton no longer targets Hugh D'Ambray.

[Michael] we will say it was a training accident or something

[mvetere-95136] aha!

[Michael] haha

[Michael] keep in mind though, that for melee weapons you need to be close or else bob will look at you funny and say no way

[Michael] ask bob if the red scroll we get to day will be a terrestrial octopus that shoots lasers from it's tentacles...

[Michael] brb

[Master] so this is a chance for Hugh and Anton to talk

[Master] along with Elenara

[Master] while Sere is of at the City Council Meeting

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Nov 27 18:58:27 EST 2015

Lisa is receiving the map New Residence second floor...

[Mike] elle is at the council, sere is home

Lisa has received the map New Residence second floor.

[Master] ok

[Master] and Hello Lisa, I am here at Robert's with Mario

[Master] his character is all caught up now

[mvetere-95136] Hi Lisa!

[Master] for stats, etc

[Master] the goal right now is to catch up on details with the group now that Mario knows them, grins

[Master] perhaps Indigo can join in the sparing match with Hugh

[Lisa] Hello all :)

[Master] while Branwyn is out of the city on her date

[Master] and Sere is here also

[Lisa] Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving

[mvetere-95136] trying to flush the tryptathan from my system still

[Lisa] lol

[Michael] eh. kind of. very busy. also hello Mike, that was rude of me. sorry i forgot between helping mario. Hello Lisa! how are you?

[Lisa] good

[mvetere-95136] mi Mike!

[Michael] thats good

[mvetere-95136] and hi too

[Lisa] thanksgiving was bloodier than I would have liked

[Master] oh?

[Lisa] I find myself non proficient at small knives

[Master] oh oh

[Lisa] big knives fine

[Michael] please tell me it was a family brawl

[Master] how bad?

[Lisa] not bad

[Michael] awww

[Lisa] but quantity is all

[Lisa] three times in two days

[Lisa] all left hand though

[Lisa] :)

[Michael] sounds like my mom. except she could burn herself on an ice cube

[Master] uff

[Master] how much wine was involved? ;P

[Lisa] I have this relatively new knife set - never use the small ones - until now

[Lisa] none - sober stabbings

[Master] I keep hearing that it is not the size but how you use it

[Michael] LOL

[Lisa] brand spanking new very sharp knives

[Lisa] dinner had a bit of extra seasoning :)

[Master] so just in case you did not already understand

[Master] I am jumping between mulitple screens through a laptop looking at my main computer

[Master] so things are a little slower

[Lisa] ok

[Master] I am going to use existing maps for the two key encounters tonight

[Michael] no rush

[Lisa] we will type slowly for you

[Master] LOL I am slow, not deaf

[Lisa] :D

[Master] LISA CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW

[Lisa] WHAT?

[Michael] No. I can only read your capital letters...

[Master] so as of the end of last week di dyou all think the council meeting was finished?

[Lisa] brb

[Michael] well apparently the admiral stormed out becasue he had other stuff to do

[Michael] so maybe?

[Master] it is up to you

[Master] they can keep on going

[Master] or just wait till the next meeting to clarify things

[Michael] I don't know what happened can anyone give me the TL'DR Version?

[Michael] Mike, maytbe

[Michael] wait. were you there mike?

[Michael] maybe Lisa can

[Mike] yeah

[Master] Mike is here, Lisa is not

[Michael] what were they bitching about this meeting?

[Michael] tax or something?

[Mike] taxes, pirates, and the navy

[Mike] which is what they were bitchign about last time

[Mike] so typical politics. i don't know why they even bother to meet

[Master] because their questions did not get answered

[Master] you keep kicking things down the road

[Michael] okay. admiral Olana wants money, wants to divert ships to main trade routes for the pirates, and the navy wants more ships. meeting adjourned...

[Lisa] back

[Michael] the thing is...

[Michael] the governement wont go anywhere with the council

[Michael] someone has to be the arbiter that says

[Michael] "These are the options and I think this one is best"

[Michael] But no one ever does

[Michael] so it wastes everyones time

[Michael] Can we nominate a non biased arbiter?

[Michael] Or tell the Prince to grow a pair and decide on policy that the council recommends?

[Master] that is what being a diplomat is all about

[Master] someone who has those skills

[Master] Branwyn actually does not have any diplomatic skills

[Master] people who have skills they can roll would be a great help

[Lisa] and Lisa does - very frustrating

[Michael] then Lisa, nominate an arbiter and lets be done with the constant bickering. we give a factual opinion, and then it wither gets chosen or not

[Michael] never mine lisa sorry

[Michael] I have an unused skill point

[Michael] could use it for diplomacy if it actaully will do anything productive

[Lisa] I have sent my diplomats

[Lisa] we have 2

[Michael] but I don't want to waste my point

[Michael] oh okay

[Michael] great

[Mike] well my mission was to kick the tax down the road

[Michael] send them to negotiate a final aribter

[Mike] because down the road it goes away

[Michael] haha

[Mike] supposedly

[Lisa] if they need ideas I can assist but did not want to interfere unless we had an international incident

[Michael] then why do we give a rats behind about these meetings?

[Master] remember mike, that was Branwyn the non-diplomat saying if we ignore the problem it will go away

[Lisa] I am picturing the Drillian-Dryads Lair Free Trade Agreemrnt

[Michael] *sigh*

[Michael] so then we just need to say that when you are ready to talk about this agreement we will meet but otherwise we got more important things to do

[Mike] well that's what branwyn told elle to do, so she's following orders.

[Lisa] if you drop your tariffs we'll drop ours

[Mike] elle doesn't have complete autonomy here.

[Michael] wait, why is that so hard?

[Michael] let them argue

[Mike] and we have nothing to do with the rest of the council business

[Michael] either they will accept it or not

[Mike] that's internal stuff.

[Michael] okay

[Michael] Admiral Olana fully endorses this fair trade agreement

[Michael] problem solved

[Michael] Any other takers?

[Michael] That okay bob

[Michael] ?

[Lisa] the diplomats need to propose it if they like the idea

[Michael] I play him and it sounds good so

[Master] chuckles

[Michael] Then I will propose it right now

[Michael] can we have an emergency session?

[Master] you are not a diplomat Hugh

[Michael] No, buit I am admiral olana

[Master] and if you really think that is the way to go

[Michael] and I am calling an emergency session

[Master] actually no

[Master] I have you play him during meetings

[Master] but that is because Hugh is not there

[Michael] okay. then the ball is back in Bobs court LOL [Master] so right now the best thing is to work out what you think the group should do

[Master] because you know there is a meeting coming up at the end of every week

[Mike] i think we should set a trap and secretly kill the council.

[Michael] Poisen or hit men?

[Mike] like in star trek nemesis. that would be great

[Michael] I fully endorse the chaos that will rieign

[Mike] and then we take over the city

[Michael] and establish the free trade agreement!

[Michael] Its a win win right?

[Mike] tom hardy hasn't steered me wrong yet.

[Michael] I was born in the murdering of council members...Shaped by it...

[Master] Lisa?

[Lisa] yes?

[Mike] but if the council meets every week then it's no big deal to wait until the next meeting to make a real tax proposal

[Master] yes to Mike

[Master] so we have Indigo Hugh and Sere here to talk to Anton

[Master] and spar with him etc.

[Master] as Indigo is getting ready to go to his event

[Master] that will happen this evening at sunset

[Mike] and remember, the amassador just appointed an elf as her surrogate. this council is going to get a glacial pace of movement from her.

[Master] which because it is winter and snowing will be dark early

[Mike] she's trying her hardest to think of a way to quickly resolve this issue within a decade.

[Master] and yes to Mike, I liked that touch of playing the elf, sit back and watch for a coupl eof years

[Lisa] both you and marisu

[Lisa] so you can both come up with solutions

[Lisa] marisu can roll local history and help out with drillian issues

[Master] and so back to Anton issues

[Master] as we need TMO for the other party

[Indigo (Lisa)] (and boy does he have issues!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] :)

[Master] lol

[Michael] brb restroom

[mvetere-95136] lol, yes he does!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Anton moved 22'09".

[Indigo (Lisa)] (can't find seremella icon for courtyard if we are sparring

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 2'09".

[Lisa] Indigo targets Aunt Jennevive. Distance: 4'02"

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: Attack: Goblin Sword: ((+14-(d20+1))-3) [1d20=6] 4 [MODIFIED (-3)]. HITS Aunt Jennevive (AC FINAL: 7)!!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: Attack: Short Sword: ((+14-(d20+1))-3) [1d20=10] 0 [MODIFIED (-3)]. HITS Aunt Jennevive (AC FINAL: 7)!!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: Attack: Goblin Sword: ((+14-(d20+1))-3) [1d20=11] -1 [MODIFIED (-3)]. HITS Aunt Jennevive (AC FINAL: 7)!!!

[Mario] I am back at the keyboard.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (jennevive should stay out of the courtyard if she doesn't want to get hit)

[Lisa] Indigo no longer targets Aunt Jennevive.

[Mike] I am back at the keyboard.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] sere doesn't spar. she shoots

[Master] she will stay by the sidelines to watch

[Master] Hugh D'Ambray moved 14'09".

[Master] Indigo moved 12'09".

[Master] Aunt Jennevive moved 16'04".

[Master] Ok so the people are there in the lower courtyard

[Master] with Jenivive upstairs on the balcony looking down on you next tot he fountain

[Lisa] So how are you liking your quarters Anton?

[Lisa] Indigo targets Anton. Distance: 8'11"

[Lisa] Indigo: Attack: Goblin Sword: ((+14-(d20+1))-3) [1d20=13] -3 [MODIFIED (-3)]. HITS Anton (AC FINAL: 10)!!!

[Michael] okay i'm back

[Michael] sorry about that

[Anton (Mario)] Good Morning Master Hugh. I seemed to have overslept. This private room is so quiet, i didnt hear the cock's call

[Michael] Okay.

[Michael] Good Morning

[Michael] One moment gotta switch to hugh

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Good Morning Anton

[Anton (Mario)] Good Morning Master indigo, i loved them. I feel like a king!

[Lisa] I hear you're going to Ilero's party tonight. Better only bring enough coin in your pockets for drinks.

[Master] (chat as Lisa)

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Done

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sorry - thought I was)

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] :)

[Anton (Mario)] I am attending a party, m'Lord? have i the proper attire? and can i be seen as Lord Haskin?

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (Wait, we have a fake lord known as Anton?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (And didn't I want to assassinate him?)

[Master] this is why I said we need to have this catch up session

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (Hell, why don't we all pretend to be lords)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummm ... I don't think you should do the Lord Haskin thing again.

[Master] some of you are Lords Michael

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] So, unless Branwyn freaks out, here are all your patches

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (Well i'm not :))

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (The patches identify us as Branwyns people, easy to identify us)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thank you Hugh. I'll ask Atribella to sew one on tomorrow.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I thought they were DS)

[Anton (Mario)] How will patches help me, m'Lord?

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (DS?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (DragonSlayers)

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] They are, they have the dragon logo on them. Isn't that Branwyns crest?

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] welp, I fudged that up

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Anyhoo,

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] no, it's the mercenary crest

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] apparently we're still a part of that. though i'm not sure how

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] They will help by being able to identify us as Branwyns cohort so that if there is an emergency we can access the ambassador right away

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] at this point i'd think we retired from th ecompany and joined the royal household

[Indigo (Lisa)] (or get her into a whole lot of trouble :) )

[Anton (Mario)] Thank you m'Lord, i can recolor my hair, and i have gotten fairly welll at cutting it myself

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] It will also let riff raff know that we are part of an important group, have status, and that we will not tolerate threats. Furthermore it will show that we are organized and united in purpse

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we are detached - if we are called branwyn will answer)

[Anton (Mario)] i wouldnt want anyone to confuse me with Lord

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Then make sure you take off the patch before you do anything shady...

[Anton (Mario)] understood, master Hugh

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Please, just call me Hugh. I'm not really important unless i'm supposed to be in formal functions

[Anton (Mario)] Lady Sere, are you mercenaries?

[Anton (Mario)] Yes, Master Hugh. er...Hugh

[Anton (Mario)] Where is lady Brannwyn, Hugh?

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] I have no idea. She is very busy.

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] She might be in a morning meeting

[Master] (it is late morning meeting is over)

[Anton (Mario)] Master Indigo, have you broken fast yet?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh yes. That is just about the first thing I do.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Jilly can fetch you a plate if you're hungry.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I thought we were sparring

[Lisa] Indigo targets Hugh D'Ambray. Distance: 8'06"

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: Attack: Short Sword: ((+14-(d20+1))-3) [1d20=16] -6 [MODIFIED (-3)]. HITS Hugh D'Ambray (AC FINAL: 10)!!!

[Anton (Mario)] Oh, but I sure wouldnt want Jilly to go out of her way to feed jme

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] hey hey i've already been damaged

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Anton kicked my butt

[Jilly (Master)] INdigo you need breakfast again?

[Indigo (Lisa)] She likes feeding people

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (second breakfast)

[Jilly (Master)] is that fourth breakfast ?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Nope but Anton does

[Jilly (Master)] or is that early lunch?

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I'm here to adventure with the famous DragonSlayers company. So for the present, I am a mercenary."

[Anton (Mario)] Mis Jilly, i would love to break fast

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can't eat and spar at the same time

[Jilly (Master)] HAH

[Jilly (Master)] I bet you can Indigo

[Jilly (Master)] I think you could spar and eat with one hand

Hugh D'Ambray (Michael) Smiles

[Jilly (Master)] I could make you a pie or something

[Jilly (Master)] you could carry it in one hand

[Jilly (Master)] like al little pocket

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "And the only actual nobility here is Marisu. Branwyn is an ambassador, Indigo is an admiral, and the rest of us are just people. Unlike you we don't lie about our station."

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm a knight and a catain actually.

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Burn

[Indigo (Lisa)] Branwyn is a marquessa

[Anton (Mario)] oh no, please, i'm used to just a piece of salt pork and stale bread

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Anton to the burn unit

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ilero's a prince

[Indigo (Lisa)] but we're all regular people

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] who's ilero?

[Anton (Mario)] forgive me all, i have the utmost respect for all of you, i certainly do not want any of you to misake my ignorance for disrespect

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Well, no, we'd mistake your lying to us and treating us like dirt as disrespect. But Branwyn says you are to stay." ::sighs::

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Were just giving you a hard time. Well I am, I cannot speak for the others. Be careful with Seremella, she's sharp

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ilero. He's with Shur. Kinda quiet.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] bob really screwed you over with the character introduction

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (That was awesome)

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] who plays him? and who plays shur?

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] i know tmo is marisu and someone else

[Indigo (Lisa)] (tmo's oldest character is ilero and then shur)

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] then we've got tristan who's been awol for a while and leatherus

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] so he's got the 3, then?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes)

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] and ilero is an actual lord of drillian?

Anton (Mario) scratches his head

[Anton (Mario)] Im sure i will learn each one of your neames and titles

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Ilero is a prince of blackwater - are you serious?)

[Anton (Mario)] please be patient

[Anton (Mario)] i have learnt patience

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's okay. You'll get to know Ilero better tonight when you go to the Guild party.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] nope. i don't know these characters

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] you and michael are the only regular players it seems.

[Anton (Mario)] Guild Party, Sir Indigo?

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] though mario's been here every week since he came back.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ilero got invited to a Guild party and I thought he was bringing you and Hugh.

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] no Mike your pretty regular aren't you?

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] and i'm terrible with names, so a whole stable of rarely played characters dont' get stuck in my head.

[Anton (Mario)] as you wish, m'Lord

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] pretty, but i seem to miss at least one week/month

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] in fact i often forget my own characters names. bibo would always make fun of me for it

[TMO] (Hi, in the middle of another game, will come here full time as soon as it's over)

[TMO] (thought maybe it was a skipped night, but I kept looking just in case. Been trying to connect for 20 minutes.)

Jilly (Master) brings in a plate of pastries,

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "No... I'm an elf."

[Anton (Mario)] Thank you Jilly, i am in your debt

[Indigo (Lisa)] Jam is fruit

[Jilly (Master)] and of course some salt pork

[Jilly (Master)] I can make you lots of salt pork

Anton (Mario) eyes widen "an elf??'

[Jilly (Master)] Jam is made from fruit

[Jilly (Master)] it is not A fruit Indigo

[Jilly (Master)] if it was a fruit I would throw it at you right now

[Indigo (Lisa)] Tastes like berries to me

[Jilly (Master)] frowns

[Jilly (Master)] FINE

[Indigo (Lisa)] Why would you do that?

Jilly (Master) whirls arond

[Jilly (Master)] leaves the room

[Anton (Mario)] Forgive me ma'am, but i have only heard stories of elves. Ive never SEEN one before

Indigo (Lisa) laughs

[Anton (Mario)] Sere, which do you prefer, nuts or berries?

[Anton (Mario)] or do you eat rocks, like dwarves?

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Way to go Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] :)

[Indigo (Lisa)] You can try and hit me back you know

[Anton (Mario)] Jilly, these pies are superb, you have been truly blessed

[Indigo (Lisa)] Anyway, you too will have to tell us how the party goes. I can't think of what they do at them.

[Anton (Mario)] i can get used to these for sure

[Indigo (Lisa)] I mean they can't go sneaking around at their own parties, can they?

Anton (Mario) looks around for Jilly

[Indigo (Lisa)] She's mad at me

[Indigo (Lisa)] She's been getting mad a lot lately. I think all this famcy cooking is getting to her.

[Anton (Mario)] i hope you didnt critisize her cooking, Sir

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] sorry, was pulled away for a few

[Master] lol

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Hey, what was that for?"

Indigo (Lisa) shakes his head "No, I just told her jam should count as fruit."

Indigo (Lisa) looks at Seremella "I thought we were sparring."

[Anton (Mario)] well...as you wish, m'Lord

[Anton (Mario)] we jammed all kinds of fruit on the farm

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yup. Just like I was saying. Fruit.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I'm not. I don't play with swords."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I practice a much more effective art."

[Master] (you should look at Anton's Intell and Wisdom)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Sorry. Anton was just admiring your elfiness and I got carried away.

[Anton (Mario)] i thought Sere's ears were injured in battle to look lik ethat

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "No, we have the proper ear shape. It's you humans who look like you've had the tips hacked off. At least halflings are closer to normal."

[TMO] (ok, all done.

Indigo (Lisa) grins

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh are you bringing Shurkural to your party tonight or is she going to come with us to the shipwreck memorial?

[Michael] Okay so, Anton what skills are you profecient in?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Your party sounds more fun.

TMO gives a small smile. "She party."

[Indigo (Lisa)] You have secret handshakes and knife throwing contests and stuff?

[Mario] which do you mean? i know meek farming skills like agriculture

[Mario] I am back at the keyboard.

[Anton (Mario)] and i can rotate crops by the phases of the moon

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Really?

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Well that's something I guess

[Anton (Mario)] my master had me set snares for all types of animals

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Well, that can come in handy when we are in the wilderness

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Really? What's your secret handshake?

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Mercs occasionally seem to go out of the city once in awhile for quests and fake dragons so, we'll never go hungry with you around!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh wait. If you told me I guess it wouldn't be a secret handshake.

[Anton (Mario)] i can snare from rabbits and phesants, to wolves and badgers

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Cool

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Are you good with any particular weaponry?

[Anton (Mario)] well..

[Anton (Mario)] my master trained be in the arts of the long sword. And he taught me to use my father's dagger as well.

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] excelent

[Anton (Mario)] No other farmhand has ever be in a grapple, and i can use a pick

[Anton (Mario)] bested* me in a grapple

[Mike] "How do you hunt with a sword and dagger?"

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] that might be useful

[Anton (Mario)] i use snares, but my sling is very effective for animals at range

[Anton (Mario)] Will I need to use the secret handshake at the party tonight

Ilero (TMO)] Hye show.

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Quite frankly I didn't know we had a secret handshake

[Anton (Mario)] Prince Ilero, your accent is one ive never heard. may i ask of which region you are Prince?

[Ilero]] (TMO) turns his back so that Indigo can't see what's going on, and shows Anton the handshake involving clasping little fingers with the other person.

[Anton (Mario)] Thank you sir. i may need to practice this a few times to get it right

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods. "Hokay. Be careful not show anyone."

[Anton (Mario)] on my honor, Sir

[Anton (Mario)] with who did you practice this?

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Know long time."

[Anton (Mario)] yes sir

Ilero (TMO)] Oh. Hye Blackwater.

[Anton (Mario)] Sorry, Sir, im not familiar with Blackwater,is it far from here?

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods. "Up nort'"

Ilero (TMO)] Got older brot'ers. Prince mean not'ing.

[Anton (Mario)] well, i will forever address you Prince. that title is not one you come across every day, m'Lord

[Ilero]] (TMO) frowns. "Just Ilero."

[Anton (Mario)] yes m'Lord

[Ilero]] (TMO) goes back to sparring with Indigo.

Ilero (TMO)] Attack: Knife:: is NO LONGER ARMED.

Ilero (TMO)] Attack: Knife, hurled:: is now ARMED.

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Attack: Knife, hurled: (16-(d20)) [1d20=11] 5. MISSES Indigo (AC FINAL: 4).

Indigo (Lisa) ducks

Ilero (TMO)] Attack: Knife, hurled:: is NO LONGER ARMED.

Ilero (TMO)] Attack: Knife:: is now ARMED.

[Mike] I am back at the keyboard.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Indigo, when do we leave for this ship ceremony?"

[Master] (the ceremony is at last light, it is winter and snowing outsdie)

[Master] (it is right now about 11 am)

[Master] (city Council meeting started at 11)

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I will need to make sure I have time to be ready and look my best."

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno. I expect Phillipe will tell us

[Master] (Atribella has a carriage coming for you)

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "But then how do you know when to start getting ready?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] When Atribella comes and tells me to get ready?

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Is your uniform all pressed? You will be taking a bath after this practice, right?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] I was going to wash my face and hands.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "When... Is she your mother? I swear... Atribella!"

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do i have to wash everything?

[Master] (what other questions, etc. )

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I will have a bath prepared for you. We will wash and comb your hair. We will make sure your boots are shined and all your buttons and medals."

[Anton (Mario)] Does anyone have the supplies for me to dye my hair?

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Yes?

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Sere? did you need me for something?

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Oh good. Atribella, we will need a bath for Sir Indigo when he is done here. With soaps and oils for his hair."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "And is his uniform all prepared? He seems most unconcerned with these details, but I do not want ot show up on the arm of the disheveled, stinky sailor."

Indigo (Lisa) defensively "I have my good uniform"

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Pressed? Brushed? Starched?"

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Boots shined?"

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Yes I have prepared Indigo's formal uniform for him

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thank you Atribella.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Good. I'm glad someone thought of this ahead of time. What time will we be leaving?"

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Idigo says just when you say." ::shakes her head::

[Indigo (Lisa)] Well Atribella takes care of us.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "And who else is going with us?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] Kenna was supposed to come too.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe Jennevive

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] It would be best to be ready for the cariage at 2 bells

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] I'm coming I believe

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Living the pampered life. And here I thought I was in the company of men."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Then you will bathe as well."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Atribella, please prepare three baths. And I will come in and wash your hair if I have to."

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] There are only two baths

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::sighs:: "Then two for them and I will take mine after."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh fine.

[Lisa] All targets for Indigo removed.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I will be rushed, but I think they will take longer than me to be ready."

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Brawnyn will be gone you can use her's

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I will prepare my robes while I wait for them."

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] and Jennivive will let you use her's as well

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'll take 10 minutes. Doesn't take long for me to have a bath.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::hesitates:: "Normally I would not, but time is growing short."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not as much of me to wash.

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Those are the two large tubs in the mansion

Indigo (Lisa) grins

Indigo (Lisa) heads off to the bath

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "If you are not fully clean when I get out of mine I will take you back in there and clean you myself. We are representing a Queen. A human queen, but a queen none the less."

[Indigo (Lisa)] (michael - you did not want to take hugh to the thieves guild party?)

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Have they always been like this? What must this city think of your kingdom..."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh we do that all the time and no one complains. We'll be fine.

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Sorry I didn't know what I was doing. For some reason i though I was going with Indigo. I would love to go to the thieves guild party

[Indigo (Lisa)] (then you do not need a bath)

[Indigo (Lisa)] :)

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Well I don't want to smell you all night."

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm going. I'm going.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Hugh, you should bathe as well. You quite frankly stink. You human males never seem to understand your own odor."

Indigo (Lisa) mutters under his breath "Women!"

[Ilero]] (TMO) disappears from the room before the elf decides to include him.

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Hugh looks at Seremella. I bathe every morning.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] snicker

[Anton (Mario)] Seremella, how do you like living in such a luxurious home?

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] I sincerely doubt I smell to people whos noses aren't as powerful as yours

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Move Silently check:(d100) [1d100=93] 93 - ROLL FAILED against 90!!

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "And you just worked up a sweat with that practicing. You need another one."

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Hide in Shadows check:(d100) [1d100=82] 82 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 90!!

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::snaps her head around:: "Don't think I don't see you."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 21'02".

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Grrr. At least the Prince didn't work up such a sweat."

Anton (Mario) whiispers "hmmph...her hearing isn't that good"

[Ilero]] (TMO) waves a hand at them as he vanishes through the doorway.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] it is when he fails his roll. =P

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]] moved 34'02".

[TMO] [Ilero]] no longer targets Indigo.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Thank you for preparing the baths. I will be up when I gather my things, Atribella."

Atribella Olivin (Master) smiles

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Seremella has only been here a couple of days

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] brb. she'll spend the next couple hours getting ready and fretting over indigo to make sure he's up to her standards

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] How long are you planning on staying Anton?

[Anton (Mario)] as long as this crew will have me. I have nowhere else to go.

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] very well

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] I will include you in my household plans

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] dinner planning

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] laundry,

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] etc.

[Anton (Mario)] thank you, Atribella I do not wish to be a burden

[Anton (Mario)] i can wash my own things, as i have my entire life

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] No you will not

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] as i recall elves tend to look at halflings as children. so this will be a fun new dynamic

[Anton (Mario)] Madam, i am just a simple farmer's hand, i dont deserve this service

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] brb

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] especially if indigo acts like such a kid.

[Atribella Olivin (Master)] OK

[Master] OK

[Master] so

[Master] everyone is getting cleaned up

[Master] anyone need a break?

[Master] before jumping over to the Wreck?

[Master] that will be Lisa and Mike

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] i'm good

Ilero (TMO)] (go for it)

[Master] MarioMieuroeriueoiureroiueoeruroiuer

[Master] Lisa?

[Anton (Mario)] (i can see that)

[Master] and Michael?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I'm here)

[Master] I have an NPC for Michael to play

[Master] OK

[Master] so I am grabbing a piece of pie

[Indigo (Lisa)] (and tmo and mario?)

[Master] then I will be ready to start the Memorial to the Wreck

[Master] and TMO and Maario will be busy in a little bit

[Master] grins

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] back

[Master] and armed with warm apple pie and wine

[Master] No new map needed

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] i'm back sorry guys

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] not feeling really well

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] so wreck or party?

[Master] Wreck first

[Master] Michael there is an NPC for you to play

[Master] Old Man

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] yep yep

[Master] INdigo and Sere are there

[Master] and I am getting another NPC for me to play

[Master] but the carriage shows up at the door for you

[Master] and escorts you through the snow

[Master] you go through the Traders Quarter

[Master] and down along to the harbor

[Master] arriving at the pier

[Master] where there is a boat waiting for you

[Indigo (Lisa)] This is exciting.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] because we be impotent peeple.

[Master] on the boat is an old man

[Master] not dressed in unifrom

[Master] Uniform

[Indigo (Lisa)] Since it's for a shipwreck we're probably being taken to a large ship where the other ship sank and the big battle was.

[Master] along with three other sailors

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] how do i chat as old man?

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] cant find his character

[Admiral Olana (Master)] (right click and chat, shold be a PC for you to use now)

[Admiral Olana (Master)] Hello Sir Indigo

[Admiral Olana (Master)] who did you bring as a guest?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I see him as last on list)

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] testing

[Indigo (Lisa)] Good evening Admiral.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I brought Priestess Seremella Psyndarryn.

Admiral Olana (Master) nods

[Indigo (Lisa)] And Patron Kenna Westfoot

[Indigo (Lisa)] (in case spring shows up)

[Admiral Olana (Master)] Why are you here Priestess Seremella Psyndarryn?

[Admiral Olana (Master)] What do you hope to honor here?

[Indigo (Lisa)] This is Admiral Olana from the City Council and Admiral of the Teraguard Navy in Dryads Lair.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I am here to help represent the Ambassador and accompany my friend here."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I know little of the event itself, but any good men deserve to be honored."

[Admiral Olana (Master)] THis is to commemorate the Battle of the Narva Harbor

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "So I hope to do honor to the brave men of your navy in the eyes of your gods and mine."

[Admiral Olana (Master)] (as the boat pushes off and goes out into the harobr

[Admiral Olana (Master)] harbor

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "If I should not be here I will return."

[Admiral Olana (Master)] (the group moves out into the river and around the point)

[Admiral Olana (Master)] We are here to honor the fallen

[Indigo (Lisa)] There was a great battle there between Terraguard and Drillian.

[Admiral Olana (Master)] The Battle of the Narva Harbor is a commemoration of when the Terraguard Navy fought off the incursion of the Drillian Navy

[Admiral Olana (Master)] The Drillian Navy sent in four ships to raid our waters

[Admiral Olana (Master)] three of them escaped

[Admiral Olana (Master)] the fourth set them self on fire and sailed directly into the heart of the Terraguard Navy to destoy 4 other ships

[Admiral Olana (Master)] the remains of the five lay below these waters

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::nods:: "I see. Thank you for the lesson."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Are your two kingdoms still sore over this or have these wounds healed?"

[Admiral Olana (Master)] /michael

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] /yes

[Admiral Olana (Master)] (that was your cue, are you still sore)

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] (I didn't want to piss off the admiral)

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] My wounds haven't healed ma'am

[Admiral Olana (Master)] (hah)

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] I lost my entire family in the chaos

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::nods:: "So it was not so long ago, then."

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] the ships that caught fire drifted into the nearby fishing village

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] the dock went up like kindling and before the afternoon was over, my family had burned to death

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] fighting to save their fishing boats

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "That is horrible. I am sorry for your loss and that you still feel it so keenly."

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] I may be a patriot, but I can never forgive the recklessness of the Terraguard navy

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] I honor their sacrifice, but that doens't change my anger towards them

[Admiral Olana (Master)] It was not the Terraguard Navy that started that conflagation

[Admiral Olana (Master)] the bastards from Drillian

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] But it was them who finished it

[Admiral Olana (Master)] they are the ones who created the inferno that took over 100 good men to their graves

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] We argue this point every year at the memorial Admiral. We respectfully disagree.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::glances at Indigo:: "Was it an open war?"

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] A raid

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "And when did these aggressions cease between the two countries?"

Indigo (Lisa) stays silent so he doesn't get in trouble

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] They may have been politically settled. But it doesn't change our antagonism between each other. Unofficially there are hundrets of deaths each year from clashes between our people

Admiral Olana (Master) looking at the Admiral from Drillian

[Admiral Olana (Master)] (dozens perhaps not hundreds)

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] The kingdoms don't advertise this fact for obviuous reasons.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "That is... unfortunate. Was Drillian always the aggressor?"

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] We cannot afford another damn war

Indigo (Lisa) scratches his head "I'm not sure about that."

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] Not without cause

[Indigo (Lisa)] We're not having another war.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not with Drillian anyway.

[Admiral Olana (Master)] (The boat comes to a stop near the point

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Drillian has a new ruler, and while I knwo the hearts of men don't always echo the hearts of their monarch, I hope she will help erase this emnity. Festering wounds like this are not good for either country."

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] No, but with the antagonism between our nations, if it got out that there were still small scale skirmishes between family clans and blood feuds, it could quickly escalate. I am suprised as ambassador you don't know about this. All the upper nobility usually know about these sorts of things, nosy bastards, but they tend to look the other way while the rest of us suffer and pay the price

Admiral Olana (Master) the Admiral comes to the side of the boat and lifts up a large wreath of pine boughs

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::looks at the Admiral:: "They can allow outside forces to influence the paths of nations."

Admiral Olana (Master) tosses it into the water

[Admiral Olana (Master) (to Lisa only)] atribella gave Indigo something to throw you can choose what

Old Bald Man (Michael) I might not live throughout the year. Reaches into shirt and deposits a small parcel into the water. For my wife who I will never see again until my death. May she visit me soon.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I am sure she would wish your joining to be as long a wait as possible."

[Indigo (Lisa) (to Master only)] wish you would have warned me - have no clue

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::bows her head and prays quietly:: "May the gods of this land keep the souls of these men safe and satisfied until they are reunited with their loved ones."

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] I don't know what she would like. Because she is dead. And, I am here

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "You loved her deeply. I think you know her heart. And I cannot immagine a love like yours wishing ill upon you. Perhaps instead of wishing for death you should work in her memory."

Indigo (Lisa) stares out over the side into the water

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "More like her die from what you say. Those wounds need to close. It is hard, but men like you can do more good than politicians in the city."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "But it takes a willingness to forgive the past. Not to forget, but to move on from it towards a better goal."

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] perhaps

[Admiral Olana (Master)] We will stay strong and fight off any intrusions

Indigo (Lisa) takes out the offering of a piece of driftwood carved with the name and date of the battle and tosses it into the water

[Indigo (Lisa)] No one'

[Indigo (Lisa)] No one

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sorry)

Admiral Olana (Master) nods at Indio

[Indigo (Lisa)] No one's attacked Dryads Lair in years and years have they?

[Admiral Olana (Master)] Indigo

[Admiral Olana (Master)] The Kingdom of Drillian has not launched any direct attacks

[Indigo (Lisa)] I mean the Terraguard Navy is known to be ... be ... formedable

[Indigo (Lisa)] The best in all around.

[Admiral Olana (Master)] This is well known

[Admiral Olana (Master)] we ensure that the waters are free of vermin

Indigo (Lisa) thinks about all the pirates but says nothing

Indigo (Lisa) also thinks this is not a good day to inquire about getting new ships for Drillian

Indigo (Lisa) nods

Admiral Olana (Master) nods, Very Wel

[Admiral Olana (Master)] well

[Admiral Olana (Master)] any last words?

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

Admiral Olana (Master) looking up into the sky as the snow starts to fall heavier

[Indigo (Lisa)] I am very sorry for all the losses and hope the brave warriors rest in peace with Cahus

Indigo (Lisa) hopes that's right

[Indigo (Lisa)] Does Cahus watch over navy warriors too?

Admiral Olana (Master) grunts, He is the patron of Marines

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Admiral, if you know more of these unofficial raids, I would ask that you pass along your information to us. I am sure the Ambassador would be most interested in it."

[Admiral Olana (Master)] The Ambassador does not seem to be very .... effective

[Admiral Olana (Master)] Lots of talking with little actino

[Admiral Olana (Master)] I prefer men of action like Sir Indigo here

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::smiles slyly:: "Well, we are here discussing important matters, are we not?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] What did you want her to do?

[Admiral Olana (Master)] I want her assistance in convincing the other's on the council to increase funding for ships

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "She is still new to this city and is working on many things. That is why she has such a capable staff like Indigo here to take care of the things that need doing."

[Admiral Olana (Master)] but we hvae talked of this

Admiral Olana (Master) the boat comes into the docks

[Admiral Olana (Master)] It was good of you to attend Sir Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thank you for letting us come and pay our respects.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Well we want that merchant to stop hounding us over a simple wool tarriff. You'd think we were singlhandedly bankrupting her. The winter will soon be over and wool will not be so important. If we didn't have our hands so full of that matter we could see to other important matters."

Admiral Olana (Master) looks puzzled

[Admiral Olana (Master)] You do not understand sheep at all do you

[Admiral Olana (Master)] Don't elves have sheep?

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I am sure that Indigo will impress the importance of your navy to the good Ambassador."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I understand clothes, good Admiral. Which is what this is all about."

[Admiral Olana (Master)] chuckles

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "The heavy winter clothes require more wool, but the soon to come warmer weather will need much less of it."

[Admiral Olana (Master)] I thik you should go ask someone how sheep and wool works

Admiral Olana (Master) the boat is at the dock

[Admiral Olana (Master)] Have a good day Sir Indigo

[Admiral Olana (Master)] Seremella Psyndarryn

[Indigo (Lisa)] Good day Admiral.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::bows::

[Admiral Olana (Master)] perhaps I will see you as the next City Council Meeting

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "More likely my sister again, but we will see."

[Admiral Olana (Master)] (the carriage is there for you)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thank you

Indigo (Lisa) heads over to the carriage

[Master] warm and safe inside

[Master] riding through the city in the dark

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::gets in the carriage and turns to Indigo:: "Really. It's no wonder he's not making any headway with his new ships. He can't even comprehend the simple you scratch my back and I scratch yours."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Well that went about as bad as I expected it to.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Well. Maybe word will start filtering through the common folk that the further agressions aren't good. Who knows."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "At the least I can tell my sister more about the Admiral."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I don't envy her having to deal with him. Quite thick."

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't know what they were talking about. I think we would know if we were fighting with Dryads Lair.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "It sounds like it isn't the coutries fighting, but househoulds along the border."

[Indigo (Lisa)] He doesn't believe in a lot of things that are real.

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Like when I told him about the airships.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Mistress Erindale flew hers in and out and their navy didn't even know.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Which was good actually since the Admiral says he would shoot it down first and see if it was friendly later.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "He is probably more of a drain on this city than a boon. But I suppose that goes for most politicians. I guess my sister will need to find an ally elsewhere."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "I wonder how her meetign went. I guess we'll find out tomorrow morning."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Probably boring.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::brushes some melting snow off Indigo's shoulders and hair:: "At least we looked good."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Branwyn didn't like it.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Too bad that girl you like wasn't there. I thought it would have been a bigger event."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "She would have liked to see you like this."

Indigo (Lisa) grins "Yup.We look good."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh she sometimes has things she says she has to do.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "When we get back the boys won't be home, what say we go find a good pub with some music to dance to?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't know if she would have liked coming here anyway.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm glad you came with me though.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "It would be a shame to waste all this prep on just that stuffy old Admiral."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Good. I'm glad you don't hate me. It would make working with you quite bothersome."

Indigo (Lisa) looks surprised "Why would I hate you? I like you!"

[Indigo (Lisa)] I just don't like baths very much.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Oh, you should learn to enjoy them. Especially after training. The warm water will ease the aches before they start."

[Indigo (Lisa)] They make my fingers all wrinkly. But I'll try it.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "Get some oils in the water and releax in the steam. Maybe we should get a minstrel to play. Music in the bath is nice. I used to be... friends with a nice boy who fancied himself a harpist."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] "At least he didn't mind performing for me while I soaked." ::grins::

Indigo (Lisa) crinkles his nose "I don't think I want musicians in the bath with me. You can do that."

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] ::laughs:: "Driver! Take us to a nice pub near the house!"

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Anton (Mario)] Master Ilero, whats the purpose of this meeting tonight?

Ilero (TMO)] (umm.... >_> help? ;) )

[Anton (Mario)] So we're being asked to help, or we are seeking help?

[Master] (so the group stops at a pub on the way home and Ilero was told to go to this meeting by Branwyn, there was an invite in the morning meeting scrools)

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] you're sacrificing goats to bahamut in hopes of garnering his favor

[Indigo (Lisa)] (you got a request to show up at a thieves guild tavern)

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Dunno. Got invite scroll."

[Indigo (Lisa)] (think it was golden toad)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (penelope is silver frog - right Bob?)

[Master] chuckles better double check which one

[Indigo (Lisa)] (dueling thieves guilds)

[Anton (Mario)] I see sir.

[Master] so which are you going to? Frog or?

[Master] Toad

Ilero (TMO)] (the invite didn't say which?)

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] frog and toad are friends

[Master] (yes it did I was going to let you stumble if you go tot he wrong one)

[Master] LOL at Mike

[Master] someone gets the joke

[Indigo (Lisa)] 19-10-1266 TGR Party at the Golden Toad - Ilero and ???

Ilero (TMO)] (not me! :) )

[Master] grins

[Master] very nice Lisa saves you

Ilero (TMO)] (she is my saviour)

Ilero (TMO)] (it's why I keep her around)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (how kind of you :) )

Ilero (TMO)] (I am magnanimous in my generosity)

Ilero (TMO)] (not everyone can be as princely as me)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (and I appreciate that)

[Master] new carriage is here to pick up the group heading into the Traders Quarter and the Golden TOad

[Anton (Mario)] So i have changed my appearance, so as tro not be noticed as Lord Haskin. A hair color change and minor cut

Ilero (TMO)] Hope it works.

Ilero (TMO)] SHUR!

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

Shurkural (TMO)] WHAT?

[Ilero]] (TMO) sighs. "Wimmen." He shouts again, "CARRIAGE!"

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

Shurkural (TMO)] "OKAY! BE RIGHT THERE!"

[Shurkural]] (TMO) shows up 5 minutes later, looking exactly like she always does.

Shurkural (TMO)] Had to make sure I was all ready to go, sugar.

Shurkural (TMO)] (stereotypes are fun)

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] until an asian woman crashes into you

Shurkural (TMO)] So who all's going with us to this party, honey?

[Master] the carriage carries you away through the the short ride to the Golden Toad

[Anton (Mario)] miss Shurkurall, you look very pretty tonight

[Anton (Mario)] I will accompany you

[Anton (Mario)] shold i bring a weapon, something more than my dagger?

[Master] Hugh you are there along with Ilero Shur and Anton in the carriage

[Shurkural]] (TMO) smiles and runs one finger along Anton's jaw. "Well, ain't you sweet. Nice o' you to say, sugar."

[Master] going down the street

Ilero (TMO)] Dagger.

Anton (Mario) looks down and blushes

[Anton (Mario)] yes, mLord, im never without it

[Master (to Lisa only)] I have the dancer there for you to play

[Master] just to chat and flirt to confuse them

[Master] so pulling up at the Toad

[Master] the four of you get out

[Master] and the doorman at the Toadopens the doors

Shurkural (TMO)] Thanks, sugar. Appreciate it.

Master Good Evening Sir Ilero

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods.

[Master] The rest of your party is downstairs

[Master] and he opens a side door that leads to a cellar

Ilero (TMO)] Hokay.

[Master] a porter there

[Anton (Mario)] /sir Ilero, the meeting rooms are in the back. We are meeting in the cellar?

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Or it trap."

[Lisa (to Master only)] I can't chat as her

[Master] as you enter the cellar

[Master] the porter looks you over

[Master] then pushes aside a pile of barrels all at once

[Master] which reveals a doorway

[Master] with a light and noise

[Old Bald Man (Michael)] ah scooby doo style

[Master] through which is a table

[Master] with 8 chairs around it

[Master (to Lisa only)] fixed now

[Ilero]] (TMO) looks around for any indication where we should sit.

[Master] THere is an older gentleman

[Master] two women

[Master] your four in your group

[Master] and one empty chair still

[Ilero]] (TMO) helps Shur into a chair to his right, then indicates Hugh and Anton should sit flanking them.

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] Hello Ilero,

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] Welcome to the Golden Toad

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL FAILED against 12!!

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

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods to each of them. "Hello."

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] May I intrduce you to my niece Penelope

Ilero (TMO)] (Indigo's girlfriend?)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] adn to Sheryl, she is a dancer here at the Toad

Ilero (TMO)] (sorry, my map window was zoomed in. Only saw 3 of our icons)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] (yes to TMO that is the name and face of Indigo's girlfriend)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] I wanted to invite you to hear about your impressions about the city

Dancer (Lisa) gives a wink to the newcomers

Ilero (TMO)] Nice meetchoo.

[Penelope (Master)] Hello, Sir Ilero is it?

[Penelope (Master)] and Miss ??

[Ilero]] (TMO) points to each in turn. "Shurkural, Anton, Hugh."

Anton (Mario) nods

[Penelope (Master)] WHy that i svery nice to Hugh,

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] What?

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Good Evening Ma'am

[Penelope (Master)] Hugh where are you from, you look very scrumptious tonight

Penelope (Master) batts her eyes

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Hello again Penelope

Hugh D'Ambray (Michael) Grins at her

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] I'm from around

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Doing a little of this and a little of that

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] The llittle details don't matter

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] At least for my personal life

Hugh D'Ambray (Michael) winks

Dancer (Lisa) whispers in Penelope's ear "let me know when talk time is over and play time starts

[Anton (Mario)] //moves next to Hugh "shes acting like she doesnt know us, play along for now..."

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (what?) They both know all of us

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] OOC

[Anton (Mario)] (agreed, but she addressed us generally, maybe she's protecting us, acting like she doesnt know us??)

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (Sorry, I forgot. We've met them before at other parties. Might be before your time?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (They act like sluts)

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (They wanted to test drive Indigo)

Ilero (TMO)] (was Lisa the other girl with Penelope the first time they met us?)

[Dancer (Lisa)] (no - that was a woman named Lilac)

[Dancer (Lisa)] (this is Sheryl)

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] now now, don't slut shame

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Carol?

Ilero (TMO)] (oh, I was reading it as Dancer names Lisa, not Dancer played by Lisa)

Ilero (TMO)] (adurrr.... I Smart!)

Ilero (TMO)] (Me Has Big Brain!)

[Sheryl (Lisa)] (fixed)

[Penelope (Master)] SO Sheryl

[Penelope (Master)] I say we fleece these visitors

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Ohh, but I kind of like the one that looks like he has shoe polish on his head.

[Sheryl (Lisa)] He's kind of cute

[Penelope (Master)] I think we can share

[Ilero]] (TMO) just watches.

Sheryl (Lisa) nods "I can do that"

Penelope (Master) starts to deal out cards

Anton (Mario) touches his hair in bewilderment

Sheryl (Lisa) sidles over to Anton "Is there room for me over here?"

Sheryl (Lisa) pulls over a chair and settles in inches from her new prospect

Anton (Mario) blushes, "you look very beautiful"

[Shurkural]] (TMO) watches with a grin.

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Thank you darling.

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] So Sir Ilero

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] I am interested in what brings you to our city

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] you know they're going to look at your cards and let him know what you've got, right?

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] I would think that a person with your connections,

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] not to mention this guy probably does sleight of hand to work the deck or something

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] that you must have a reason to visit

[Ilero]] (TMO) turns back to look at the elderly gentleman. He scratches his chin. "Hye tasked by Queen help Ambassador Branwyn."

Sheryl (Lisa) beathily in Anton's ear "You did come to play now didn't you?"

Anton (Mario) freezes; eyes wide as saucers

Ilero (TMO)] (If they know my name, they know I'm with the Drillian ambassador)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] Oh you can be more open here

[Sheryl (Lisa) (to Master only)] what is his name since no one's asking

[Anton (Mario)] um,..im not very good at cards...

Ilero (TMO)] (and, they sent the invite to the Ambassador's residence)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] you have quite the pedigre

Sheryl (Lisa) backs up a bit from the sneeze

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] Master Koplin said you were a smart customer

[Master Sargent Thull (Master) (to Lisa only)] Master Sargent Thull

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] Of course your Mentor is well known as well

Sheryl (Lisa) shakes her head and leans in again "I've bet you've never played cards with girls before. Probably thought cards were a man's game? Penelope and I can teach you things you haven't even imagined."

Penelope (Master) slips her hand around Hugh's arm

[Ilero]] (TMO) sighs. "Probably too well known. He not quite right."

[Penelope (Master)] nuzzles up to his ear

[Penelope (Master)] whispers gently

[Penelope (Master)] I hope you do well

Anton (Mario) drops his cards

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (talking to me?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (or Illero)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] Oh he is quite the character isn't he

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] (Penelope was talking to Hugh, she is seated next to him)

Ilero (TMO)] T'at one word. Crazy anot'er.

Anton (Mario) scramb;es "oh! Pardon me" scrambles to pick up cards

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Sweethear don't you have better things to do then flirt with me?

Sheryl (Lisa) gives Penelope a smile

[Sheryl (Lisa)] It's all right sweetheart. Happens to everyone. I promise we didn't see anything.

Ilero (TMO)] (lol)

[Penelope (Master)] Oh I can think of many worse things to do then spend time with a handsome man like you

Ilero (TMO)] Anyway, sorry. How hye help you?

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Darling. I would blow your mind. But I think you would have a better time with Anton over there. You are more then welcome to sit with me though

[Penelope (Master)] after all I am just here with my uncle

Anton (Mario) nervously smiles, cards shaking in his hand

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Maybe you need a drink. Loosen you up a bit. Will you be all right if I go get us something?

[Anton (Mario)] /that would be great

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (check to make sure nothing is fizzing in it lol)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] OH bring two for us please

Sheryl (Lisa) steps away to pour wine for the table

Master Sargent Thull (Master) looks over at Hugh and Penelope

Ilero (TMO)] (btw, his name showed up - does Ilero know who this guy is?)

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Of course.

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] (no never heard of him)

Ilero (TMO)] (and he didn't give us his name either)

Sheryl (Lisa) busies herself pouring glasses and putting them on a tray

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] (no one asked it either)

Ilero (TMO)] (oh, and scrolling back, I see he did ask Ilero a question - I missed it somehow)

Ilero (TMO)] (he was doing introductions, I did introductions. ;) )

Anton (Mario) whispers to Ilero "why eight chairs for just seven people?"

[Shurkural]] (TMO) takes her glass. "Thank sugar. I needed this."

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] Have you settled into the city well Master Ilero?

Ilero (TMO)] Probably had 8 chairs. Why take one out?

[Ilero]] (TMO) wags his head indecisively. "Hye not city man. Like wilderness better."

Master Sargent Thull (Master) nods

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] looks over impatiently for the wine

Sheryl (Lisa) distributes the glasses to the guests Master Sargent first and she and Anton lastly

[Shurkural]] (TMO) takes a drink from her cup.

Shurkural (TMO)] Mmm.. that's good.

Sheryl (Lisa) looks over at the disgruntled Thull "We have all night don't we?"

Master Sargent Thull (Master) deals out cards

[Penelope (Master)] So what sort of games are you used to playing Sir Hugh?

[Penelope (Master)] picks up her cards

[Ilero]] (TMO) stacks his cards face down in front of him. "What game and rules?"

[Penelope (Master)] (everyone has 6 cards, with a pile of 8 in the middle)

[Penelope (Master)] This one is called The Chain

[Penelope (Master)] you have to make the best set of 8 cards

[Shurkural]] (TMO) picks up her cards and holds them a bit clumsily.

[Penelope (Master)] using 4 from y our hand and th rest from the pot or the exposed cards of the other players

[Anton (Mario)] i dont know many card games, we did roll dice though

[Sheryl (Lisa)] This will be just like that.

[Sheryl (Lisa)] But different

Shurkural (TMO)] Just don't your soul, honey.

Shurkural (TMO)] *Just don't bet your soul, honey.

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] I'm afraid I don't like this game. Never had the knack for it. I'll pass. Thank you for your offer however

[Anton (Mario)] ok Sheryl. I may ask foir a hand...

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Oh I don't want anything I can't touch

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] OH if you have not played before then we cannot ask you to put your well earned money at risk

Anton (Mario) cant barely see the cards from them shaking

Ilero (TMO)] How 'bout one hand practice?

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] So to explain to you

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] you have your 6 cards

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] you have to expose two to the group

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] after everyone has two open I will turn over the 8 in the middle

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] the first to declare they want to go out can claim the pot

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] but if someone can stop them if they think the next card in the middle will beat that

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] but if you offer and fail you have to double your contribution to the pot

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] easy to understand of course

Ilero (TMO)] What winning sets of cards?

[Sheryl (Lisa) (to Master only)] chain meaning a straight only no pairs or poker type things

Anton (Mario) to sheryl, "so which is my best card?"

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] a straight of 6 in a row of the same suit would be the best of course

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] but double, triples, and quads are more often the norm

Ilero (TMO)] Same suit beat mixed suits?

Ilero (TMO)] (neither of my people have Gaming)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] nods, I do believe you understand games of chance very well Sir Ilero

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] (no one here does, that would be Indigo grins)

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Depends on what you're going for. I'm not sure you've shown me your best cards yet

Anton (Mario) innocently, "these are all i have..."

Sheryl (Lisa) bats his hand back playfully

[Master Sargent Thull (Master) (to Michael only)] 2h 2c 3h 6h Kh 4s

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Not yet. There will be plenty of time for you to show me everything you've got.

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Hye not great gambler, but hye try."

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Bob seriously I'm not playing. I mentioned that

[Master Sargent Thull (Master) (to TMO only)] for Ileo Qh Jh 2d 5d 9s Qs

[Master Sargent Thull (Master) (to TMO only)] for Shur Ks Kd Kc 8d 7s 3s

Ilero (TMO)] Umm.. cards face up help ot'er players, yah?

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] Michael, they delt you in

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] nods to Ilero

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Okay. I fold

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] I don't care if it's offensive. I don't play card games

Anton (Mario) to Sheryl " can i see yours?"

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] I'm not trying to be a dick in real life, I just wont play it in the game. Sorry

[Sheryl (Lisa)] (it's ok)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master) (to Mario only)] Ad As 5s 8h Jd 7h

Shurkural (TMO)] I know chains are best. What about two, like, nines or something? Is that good in this game?

[Sheryl (Lisa)] You can see just about anything you want of mine.

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Except my cards. House rules.

[Master Sargent Thull (Master) (to Lisa only)] 2h 2c 3h 6h Kh 4s

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] So

Shurkural (TMO)] (Shur asked a rules question)

Master Sargent Thull (Master) lays down a 2s

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] oh I suppose two nines might be ok but I have not seen a game with that weak of a hand in a very lon gtime

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] looks over at Sheryl to lay down a card

Sheryl (Lisa) eyes her cards and then lays down Kh

Master Sargent Thull (Master) looks over at Ielro

Sheryl (Lisa) whispers "For you"

[Anton (Mario)] /starts to sweat, again

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Seremella Psyndarryn (Mike)] alright, i'm out. have a good week

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] (night Mike)

Mike has left the game on Fri Nov 27 23:27:23 EST 2015

[Anton (Mario)] (good night!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] Nite

[Ilero]] (TMO) scratches at his goatee. Then lays down a 9s

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] (I'm probably going to have to call it soon too)

Master Sargent Thull (Master) looks over at Penlope

[Sheryl (Lisa)] (goodnight Michael)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] She lays down a 6h

[Anton (Mario)] (good night1)

Master Sargent Thull (Master) nods to Shur

Shurkural (TMO)] Oh.. umm.. I hope this is good. (Kc)

Shurkural (TMO)] (cya Michael)

Master Sargent Thull (Master) lays down a Jd

Shurkural (TMO)] (did Anton lay down a card?)

Shurkural (TMO)] (or is he not playing?)

[Master] he is playing

[Master] but I was going to start skimming forward

[Master] as we are getting late

Shurkural (TMO)] (ok)

[Master] but you see how this game goes

[Hugh D'Ambray (Michael)] love you all

[Sheryl (Lisa)] (but I have a good hand going)

[Master] night Michael

Michael has left the game on Fri Nov 27 23:31:08 EST 2015

[Master] LOL

[Master] LOL

[Anton (Mario)] haha

[Master] anyone want to see what hand you wan tot play?

[Master] based on your 4 plus two from others?

Shurkural (TMO)] (I remember back in college we had a D&D session where the players spent all evening in a casino. We didn't actually do any other RP that night, just fake gambling)

Shurkural (TMO)] (sure)

[Sheryl (Lisa)] (I have 3 twos and 2 sixes)

Shurkural (TMO)] (but if only straights count, that's not worth much)

[Anton (Mario)] way better than anything i have

[Sheryl (Lisa)] (I thought he said quads etc work)

[Master] straights are worth higher but multiple paris etc.

Shurkural (TMO)] (pfft, if this was Poker, Shur's got this game)

[Master] exactly Lisa

[Master] LOL

[Master] so we will do another round of this in a future session

[Sheryl (Lisa)] (so is ilero going to ask why have you brought me here?)

Shurkural (TMO)] (are we just saying what we've got?)

[Sheryl (Lisa)] (or just have a weird randon evening?)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] (you can make it up, no worries)

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero assumes he'll get around to it eventually. Everyone gives in eventually)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] (the game results I mean)

Ilero (TMO)] (Shur has 4 Kings)

[Anton (Mario)] /to Sheryl "do you lke what i have?

[Sheryl (Lisa)] (i thought we were just ending the card part due to time constraints)

[Sheryl (Lisa)] (wow - nice that would be great in roleplay since no one was trying to distract her)

[Sheryl (Lisa)] (I vote she wins)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] (smiles fair enough)

Ilero (TMO)] (she might have been able to put together a straight too. Depends on what cards were turned over)

Ilero (TMO)] (with the cards up right now, she has 4 straight, 6-9, mixed suits)

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] Well this has been a fun evening Sir Ilero

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero has 3 cards, Jh, Qh, Kh.)

Ilero (TMO)] Yah. Was fun. T'anks for invite. Mebbe do it again some time.

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] I will be sure to invite you when I have something you might be interested in

Sheryl (Lisa) whispers "You don't have to go back with them do you? You can stay here for a while, have another drink.

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero can be so infuriating sometimes, I bet. Thull was probably over there itching for Ilero to indulge his curiosity and ask why he invited him. ;)

[Sheryl (Lisa)] With all these cards, we didn't even get to the dancing part.

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods. "T'anks. Hye see Master Koplin again soon too, no doubt."

Master Sargent Thull (Master) nods

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] A good evening to you all

[Ilero]] (TMO) helps Shurkural up from her chair.

[Anton (Mario)] wow, we have to dance too? you city folk sure do spend a lot of time socializing

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Can't I keep this one, Master Sargent?

Shurkural (TMO)] Thanks for the lovely evening, Sir. I still don't know if I did good or not, but it was fun.

[Sheryl (Lisa)] I'll give him back later.

[Master Sargent Thull (Master)] I have no objections, as long as you clean up after him

[Anton (Mario)] /?me to Sheryl "did I do good?"

[Sheryl (Lisa)] You did great so far.

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Your friends aren't very talkative types are they?

Anton (Mario) puzzled " theres more?" They are skilled diplomats, they sleak when they have something important to say. Dont all diplomats do that?

Sheryl (Lisa) laughs

Shurkural (TMO)] (Ilero's evidently getting a reputation with the thieves guild for being a master manipulator or something, just because he doesn't talk much.)

Shurkural (TMO)] (and because they expect him to be like Regor the Mad)

[Sheryl (Lisa)] I thought all diplomats did was talk and have nothing to say.

Sheryl (Lisa) leans in again "That one's hiding something."

Anton (Mario) raised eyebrow "isnt that the same thing?

[Sheryl (Lisa)] I'm hoping you might be a little more ... giving?

[Anton (Mario)] which one?

[Sheryl (Lisa)] The one with the beard. The swarthy looking one.

Shurkural (TMO) (to GM only)] Character sheet for [Ilero]] modified: Weapons - CHANGED: Knife, hurled -- #: 3 (+0),

Shurkural (TMO)] (that's Ilero, btw)

Shurkural (TMO)] (http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Ilero)

[Anton (Mario)] ?me agitated " prince Ilero is the most trustworthy man i know.I will follow him anywhere, and his word is my order

[Anton (Mario)] he has nothing to hide, im sure

Shurkural (TMO)] (intimidation goes a long way with some people. ;) )

Sheryl (Lisa) rolls her eyes and sighs

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Then you better be a good puppy and follow your master.

[Sheryl (Lisa)] Til next time.

Anton (Mario) Genuine smile "thanks fo rthe great evening"

[Ilero]] (TMO) gives a small bow to the old man. "Master Sargent, was pleasure."

Sheryl (Lisa) nods and smiles

[Anton (Mario) (to TMO only)] me nods

Sheryl (Lisa) finishes off her glass of wine

Anton (Mario) nods

[Master] so you venture on back upstairs

[Master] and into your carridge on the way home

[Master] carriage

[Shurkural]] (TMO) pats Anton on the shoulder. "You done good, honey. Don't let them rattle you too much."

[Anton (Mario)] do you think Sheryl would show me to dance?

[Ilero]] (TMO) makes sure to catch Penelope's eye on the way out. "Penelope. T'anks. Hye see you 'round perhaps."

[Anton (Mario)] Sir, why did Penelope act like she didnt knw us?

[Anton (Mario)] i thought we were all friends?

Shurkural (TMO)] Oh, she might have taught you a type of dance, sugar. And I dunno, maybe she don't want the old dude to know she hangs out with a halfling or something.

Shurkural (TMO)] If he's family, no telling what she don't want him to know.

[Anton (Mario)] Halflings arent bad. not the two i know

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs.

Ilero (TMO)] Hye ask.

[Anton (Mario)] that makes sense. Have you met Sheryl or Master Thull before,sir?

Ilero (TMO)] (don't think he ever gave us his name, but one of the girls did say his title once)

Ilero (TMO)] No.

[Anton (Mario)] (right on, sorry)

Ilero (TMO)] (no worries)

[Master] SO

[Anton (Mario)] Sheryl seemed very friendly, eager to help, every one in Driads Liar seems so firendly

[Master] the carriage pulls back up to the mansion

[Master] Branwyn and Indigo are standing on the steps outside

[Lisa] (will make for an interesting morning meeting tomorrow)

[Master] along with Joseph

Ilero (TMO)] Hye t'ink t'ey t'ink hye Regor's apprentice or somet'ing. T'ey see Regor instead of Ilero.

[Lisa] (did they get locked out?)

Ilero (TMO)] (scratch that comment - I'm going to save it for later)

[Master] Joseph says, "We had another frozen body in the fountain tonight"

[Master] and we will call it a night there

[Master] grins

[Master] over the week LIsa and I can do her riding date

[Lisa] How did someone get past the guards to the fountain unless the body is one of our own

Ilero (TMO)] (Griffin dropped it from the sky)

Ilero (TMO)] (open air founttain)

[Lisa] are you going to freeze my prince charming?

[Lisa] branwyn froze her date

Ilero (TMO)] (didn't think Charming was the adjective you would have used)
