[Master] Hello LIsa
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HA-IC
[Master] There you go Mike
[Lisa] Hello! Happy post Thanksgiving :)
[Master] I think the feasting is still continuing here
[Master] they just took two racks of ribs off the grill
[Master] no matter there is half a turkey still in the fridge
[Lisa] nice
[Lisa] can only eat so much turkey
[Lisa] I noticed something else strange from the talk with joseph I missed originally
[Master] which is?
[Lisa] he said the priests of the city guard
[Master] yes
[Lisa] they hire priests?
[Master] hire or have on staff
[Master] So Mike did you look at that page?
[Mike] nope
[Mike] i made the bed
[Mike] but i'll pretend i did
[Master] chuckles
[Master] Mike if you want to load the new ball room map Sarengar is on it
Lisa is receiving the map ballroom...
Lisa has received the map ballroom.
[Lisa] looking good
[Master] good
[Master] better than last time at least
Mike is receiving the map ballroom...
[Lisa] some of these guest look rather scary
Mike has received the map ballroom.
[Mike] that's a big ass map
[Master] it is the main ballroom at the palace
[Lisa] Is that the 75% one?
[Master] yes
[Lisa] If it's too big we can go 50% or the original. On my monitor it looks the same proportions as the house maps
[Lisa] 50% of the original - sorry
[Master] it should work fine
[Master] it is the file size as much as anything and ifyou two can load than will be good
[Master] so Imari has a dress for the ball?
[Master] is there anything that She wants to try to accomplish befor ethe ball?
[Master] and Branwyn or Indigo?
[Master] or Galduk?
[Lisa] are we going to wait for people for a little bit?
[Master] we can to give them a chance to be ready
[Master] no one told me they were not coming
[Mike] she's wearing her nornal clothes
[Lisa] what are her normal clothes?
[Mike] barbarian shit
[Mike] she wants to make a sensation
[Mike] and she thinks corsettes look terribly uncomfortable, and multiple layers of skirts hot and cumbersome
[Master] it is winter remember
[Mike] which, i have it on good authority, they are.
[Mike] well, whatever furs the barbarians wear in winter, then.
[Mike] warm, but not cumbersome.
Guy has joined the game on Fri Nov 28 19:16:13 EST 2014

[Mike] she'll make sure they're well cleaned and groomed
Guy has received the map New Residence first floor.
[Master] Time of Day: 12:10 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Ohm {Early Winter} 12th, 1266 TGR.
[Guy] hola
[Master] Hello Guy
[Master] You can load the ball room map when you want to, Sarengar is on it
[Master] and he is there as well for the party
[Master] I will explain later
[Guy] what ball room map?
[Master] go click on Sarengar
Guy is receiving the map ballroom...
[Master] Jondar has a party tonight
Guy has received the map ballroom.
[Guy] ok i see i should have read the boards a bit more then lol
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HA-IC
[Master] diner conversation will be enough
[Master] Eric is having internet issues may not be able to make it
[Lisa] oh no!
[Mike] bummer
[Master] no word from John or TMO yet
[Guy] hopefully no more calls tonight
[Master] so Guy did you catch up a bit on those things?
[Guy] not yet was asking about dinner plans lol
[Master] and Mike the Who What Were story will start when we are done with the ball
[Mike] who's that about? what do we need to do? where do we need to go
[Master] werewolf in a town north of the wall
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DryadsLairPrincipality
[Guy] ok caught up for the most part
[Lisa] jondar can decide if he wants to go werewolf hunting too?
[Lisa] or stay at dryads lair with branwyn who is only one staying behind I think
[Mike] right. that one
[Guy] ummm jondar is not built for combat
[Master] I am intending to run the two story arcs as part of th enight when those players are in
[Guy] not with just 18 hp
[Master] there will still be things to do in the city, etc
[Lisa] just stand behind Imari you'll be fine
[Master] the two story arcs should each take a couple of days of game time
[Mike] imar could make him much more durable
[Master] TMO texted he will be in just not sure when
[Master] will be the first time that Galduk gets invovled into a conversation also
[Mike] nope. imari said she's locking him up
[Mike] he would be a terrible person at a ball.
[Mike] he's gross, and uncouth, and won't go without weapons
[Guy] it would make the ball less boring thats for sure
[Master] John said he is not going to make it
[Lisa] what's up with him?
[Master] no clue
[Mike] lol. well if you think you can actually get him in with his weapons, but i assume that wouldn't be allowed and would just cause a diplomatic incident
[Guy] depends on where we are at
[Mike] so imari was going to either drug him or cast hold on him, then lock him with artiark and tell artiark to keep him in the room.
[Mike] the palace ball room
[Guy] ok so the guards might have a problem with the weapons
[Master] yes this is true
[Master] and there will be many priests in attendance
[Master] So anything on the afternoon of the 12th?
[Mike] what would that have to do with galduk?
[Master] Indigo and who?
[Master] Galduk might not react well with all the "barbarian" priests who disrespect his true priest
[Mike] eh. as long as they don't actually disrespect her
[Mike] i mean, we live in a world where there are clearly many many different dieties that exist
[Mike] priests wouldn't work if they didn't exist. not sure why everyone is all anti one pantheon or the other.
[Lisa] not all deities are created equal
[Mike] nah, some are minor, and some are major.
[Master] is Jondar visiting the ambassador today?
[Mike] but again, a preist can't actually deny that their god is a minor god. everyone knows it
[Master] He can stop by in the morning while Branwyn is busy training
[Master] can talk with Indigo and Imari
[Master] they could ask him for info about the places they are going,
[Guy] sure branwyn and her friends amuse him
[Master] you are all on the first floor map for ease of talking
[Indigo (Lisa)] (or we can have gladek get mad an branwyn for cleaning his stables :)
[Indigo (Lisa)] I almost posted that he yelled at her from the back but let it go
[Mike] they aren't his stables. They're artiark's. he's just crashing there.
[Mike] remember, galduk isn't a person. he's property.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (does he think that?)
[Mike] the only thing he really gets upset about is making him bathe.
[Mike] yup.
[Mike] that's his kit.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (well she was cleaning in there which is the only reason I thought about it)
[Mike] he was taken as a boy and raised that way. he is the property of the clan, and thus the current chieftan. that's the one person they answer to.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (does he still have his man parts or were they removed so he doesn't get distracted?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] :)
[Guy] lol
[Mike] his chief ordered him to accompany imari to protect her since she's getting up there in power. the chief doesn't really want a priest of her power wandering around away from the clan, but he also can't actually stop her. so he ordered galduk to go and protect her.
[Mike] of course he's got all his parts. he's prime breeding stock.
[Indigo (Lisa)] he is just a man of mystery
Lisa is receiving the map New Residence first floor...
Lisa has received the map New Residence first floor.
[Mike] no. no he isn't. he's got nothing going on. he just attacks what he's told to.
Guy is receiving the map New Residence first floor...
Guy has received the map New Residence first floor.
[Indigo (Lisa)] like a good puppy
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Sir Indigo ?
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Sir Jondar is here to see you
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Shall I show him in?
[Mike] I am back at the keyboard.
[Imari (Mike)] which one is jondar?
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Sir Jondar is the halfling from Gold Hills Madam Imari
[Imari (Mike)] that was me
[Imari (Mike)] i'm shit at remembering names if there's no face to associate it with.
[Guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Imari (Mike)] so i'm sure she remembers that guy.
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Sir Indigo?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes?
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Shall I show in Sir Jondar?
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] I can fetch another plate if you like for second breakfast
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes please.
[Indigo (Lisa)] That would be great! Thank you!
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] or would you rather wait for that till he leaves?
[Indigo (Lisa)] No, he should get some too.
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] smiles, bows her head, I will take care of that for you.
Atribella Olivin (Master) goes to the entrance hall, Sir Jondar, Sir Indigo will see you he is in the maining dining hall, right this way
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] she leads Jondar there to the dinning hall
[Jilly (Master)] Hello there! joning us fro breakfast again?
[Jilly (Master)] pokes her finger into Jondar's shoulder
[Jilly (Master)] people will start to talk
[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.
[Jilly (Master)] you really have to have your cook do a better job
[Jondar (Guy)] one of my stature never turns down another meal
[Jilly (Master)] how can she leave you so hungry all the timeSir Indigo is not that hungry, he always claims he is full
[Jilly (Master)] escpecially when I say there are more vegatabile
[Jilly (Master)] for some reason he is always full
[Jondar (Guy)] well one can always be full when it comes to vegetables
[Jilly (Master)] Maybe I can talk to your cook, and find something special from home for Indigo
[Jilly (Master)] I will be back with second breakfast in a moment
Jilly (Master) leaves the room with Artibella
[Master] Imari, Jondar and Indigo are there
[Jondar (Guy)] how is everyone this fine day?
[Imari (Mike)] "Fine enough. Do you need something?"
[Jondar (Guy)] merely visiting
[Jondar (Guy)] its seldom that I actually like being around another ambassador and their entourage
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
[Imari (Mike)] "Ah. Well please, have breakfast. We are discussing our final preparations for the ball tomorrow."
Jondar (Guy) sighs "those balls are always so boring, they need to liven them up some."
[Indigo (Lisa)] I just hope the don't expect me to dance.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh and Branwyn says she's sorry for yesterday.
[Jondar (Guy)] theres no need for an apology
[Indigo (Lisa)] She felt bad
[Indigo (Lisa)] She didn't know the dock lady was going to go yelling at you and all of us.
[Imari (Mike)] brb
[Master] (Mike they are talking abou visting the docks looking for the airship)
[Jondar (Guy)] she has always been that way since ive been in the city
Indigo (Lisa) grins "well Branwyn keeps running into all sorts of things she doesn't know."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Sometimes I think she thinks she'd feel safer if she was in the swamps.
[Indigo (Lisa)] But are you going to go home if the trolls attack?
[Jondar (Guy)] but the city would be much more boring and dull if she left.
[Jondar (Guy)] I fear my abilities do not include fighting skills
[Jondar (Guy)] I much prefer to talk my way out of trouble rather than resort to violence
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think trolls listen to people much
[Indigo (Lisa)] But you'll tell me if it gets bad?
[Imari (Mike)] back
[Jondar (Guy)] if i hear that it has gotten to the point of open warfare i shall indeed let you know
[Indigo (Lisa)] Thanks.
[Indigo (Lisa)] So I guess you don't want to go with the others and hunt a werewolf in a couple days then.
[Indigo (Lisa)] I have to go on that airship to the duke of domville wherever that is but Imari's going hunting
[Jondar (Guy)] i fear that hunting a werewolf would be beyond my abilities
[Imari (Mike)] "It's not too hard. You stab them with a silver weapon. Or burn them."
Jilly (Master) comes back in with a tray of cakes and jam
[Jilly (Master)] here you go
[Imari (Mike)] so anyway, if we're just sitting around chatting, we should let characters with stuff to do do it.
[Jilly (Master)] (this is what you are doing, this is your last chance to get any info before the ball)
[Jilly (Master)] (I hestitate to just jump forward 24 hours if there is anything that people want to do, ask, etc)
[Imari (Mike)] well i as a player have nothing i want to accomplish
[Imari (Mike)] if others do, that's cool. let's do it.
[Jondar (Guy)] ((i cant think of anything ))
[Indigo (Lisa)] (branwyn has a kazillion things she can be doing but I don't know how interested anyone else is and some stuff I shouldn't do without tmo/eric/john
[Imari (Mike)] well if you can do anything before the ball, go for it.
[Master] Jondar is here to answer questions about the area
[Imari (Mike)] "Is there anyone we should avoid at the ball?"
Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master) stops by the room to be sure it has been cleaned after breakfast
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Pardon me Sir Indigo, Imari, I did not know you were entertaining
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Good Morning Sir Jondar
[Jondar (Guy)] Good morning
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] will you be attending the ball tomorrow?
[Jondar (Guy)] indeed I shall
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] would you hapen to be brining a lady friend with you?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Sir Indigo will be attending
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I think it would be nice for him to have a compainion on his arm
[Jondar (Guy)] I shall be going alone
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] ahh
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I am not certain that I can find two halfling ladies
TMO has joined the game on Fri Nov 28 20:34:01 EST 2014
TMO is receiving the map New Residence first floor...
[Jondar (Guy)] no need to worry Iusually go to these things alone, that way I am able to leave when i get too bored
TMO has received the map New Residence first floor.
[Jondar (Guy)] ((hey TMO))
[TMO] (I apologize for lateness. Only physically able person in the family to help unload xmas stuff from the attic)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Ismile no worried)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Jondar has just stopped by for a second breakfast
[TMO] (did I miss anything I need to know about before I join in?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hey! You don't need to find us ladies Phililipe
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Oh Sir Indigo?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (phillipe the pimp?)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I was not aware you knew any ladies here in the City
[Indigo (Lisa)] You don't just find a lady and hand her to someone.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] or did you mean you have someone already?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't.
[TMO] (Indigo the Playa)
[Indigo (Lisa)] No
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] It is appropriate for a Gentleman to be accomanied to events
[Indigo (Lisa)] Tristan isn't going with anybody.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I thought Aunt Jennevive?
[Indigo (Lisa)] And I don't see you bothering Imari about bringing a man friend.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] She did ask that his suit be tailored with specific colors
Indigo (Lisa) makes face "Jennevive and Tristan?"
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] and Imari has Galduk I thought?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] They two of them are obviously meant for each other
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Shur and Ilero are
[Indigo (Lisa)] Marisu and Branwyn aren't going with anyone either!
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Marisu and you Indigo are the only two that are not matched
[Indigo (Lisa)] Who's Branwyn going with?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Branwyn is not expected to have a man on her arm
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] she will likely be courted heavily
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
Indigo (Lisa) laughs
Marisu (TMO)] Why don't I accompany Indigo?
[Jondar (Guy)] unfair i know but we ambassadorts are usually accompanied by oour titles
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I am sorry Miss Marisu, I did not see you there
[Indigo (Lisa)] Would you want to do that? I don't want to embarrass you or anything.
[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles. "I've been watching Ilero at work."
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I will go see if Branwyn is finished with Joseph and if he is still in one piece
Marisu (TMO)] Now why would I be embarrassed to go with the bravest Knight in Drillian?
Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master) pauses
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] what was Ilero doing?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] should I send someone to clean up?
Ilero (TMO)] Not ask, not know.
[Ilero]] (TMO) grins toothily.
[Imari (Mike)] dos the screen jerk and your text not show up when your typing for everyone else when someone puts up a comment?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (not for me)
[Jondar (Guy)] good morning Prince Ilero
[Indigo (Lisa)] (it's just you)
[Imari (Mike)] i'm having a hard time reading what's going on and it's been this way since i came back. don't remember it being like this bfore
[Imari (Mike)] do i need to update java?
[Jondar (Guy)] ((try seeing double of every chat))
[Imari (Mike)] i do see double of every chat
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (I se some lag but that is because I am remote and yes Java updates are good but does not fix the double chat)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (you have the larger memory config?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (1028 and 512 instead of whatever the defaults are)
Mike has left the game on Fri Nov 28 20:44:38 EST 2014
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (lost in that was Jondar saying hello to Ilero)
Mike has joined the game on Fri Nov 28 20:46:13 EST 2014
Mike is receiving the map New Residence first floor...
Mike has received the map New Residence first floor.
[Ilero]] (TMO) nods at Jondar.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (TMO thinkgs you want to get done before the ball? questinos about the next story arcs to ask etc. )
[Jondar (Guy)] (((brb)))
[Mike] well that didn't work.
[Mike] when does the new program come out?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well if you don't mind me Marisu I would be happy to escort you. You can even go off and be courted heavily too if you want. I don't want to be in the way.
Ilero (TMO)] (Marisu wants to ask Miranda if she wants to train her in magic. That should be it, and we can pretend it happens offscreen,)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (soon Mike, but still a mojnth or two at least)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (before we get to use it)
Ilero (TMO)] (skimmed it a bit a week or two ago, looking good)
Ilero (TMO)] (I haven't played with it though, working on other projects)
Marisu (TMO)] It would be my pleasure, Sir Indigo.
[Mike] I am back at the keyboard.
[Imari (Mike)] "I should get ambassador status for the barbarian tribes."
[Jondar (Guy)] (((back))
Branwyn (Lisa) comes in after her lesson and grabs a cake off the platter without sitting down
[Jondar (Guy)] now that Preistess Imari is a capital idea
Marisu (TMO)] A visiting guest of honor, I think, unless your government appoints you to the role. Ambassadors are expected to be able to speak for their country.
[Jondar (Guy)] greetings Miss Branwyn
Branwyn (Lisa) walks behind Ilero in her best sneak (which isn't very good) and leans over his shoulder "If you ever need anyone to talk to about the Thieves Guild, you might want to give Joseph a try"
Branwyn (Lisa) jumps at the voice
[Imari (Mike)] "I can speak for my tribe."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh Jondar! Good morning! I didn't see you.
[Jondar (Guy)] ahh but since the Clans arent a typical country I dont see why she shouldnt be considered an Ambassador
[Ilero]] (TMO) raises one eyebrow and looks at Branwyn questioningly for a moment. THen he nods in understanding.
[Imari (Mike)] "As far as I can tell, we operate very much like the small kingdoms here."
Jondar (Guy) grins at Branwyn "the typical comment about our race"
Jondar (Guy) laughs
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is my fault. I was on a mission to get cake and wasn't paying attention to anyone around me.
Branwyn (Lisa) holds up her cake
[Imari (Mike)] "You are easily overlooked."
[Marisu]] (TMO) looks around to see if Miranda has joined them yet.
[Jondar (Guy)] so Ambassador Imari would you care to sign a mutual defense treaty withe the Gold Hills?
Jondar (Guy) grins at Imari
[Jondar (Guy)] well Miss Branwyn cake is definetlymore important
[Imari (Mike)] "I'm not sure that would be the best move for your country."
[Imari (Mike)] "You would get called to Karnak every month for some skirmish or another."
[Master] Treaty of Northhoarbrite includes Drillian, Gold Hills, Blackwater and Jarvis
[Master] Carnak was not really asked, but they always provide a mercenary company
[Jondar (Guy)] that would really liven things up for our troops
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.TreatyOfNorthHoarbrite
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (blackwater and Carnak, Bob)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :P
[Master] no to Carnak, they are not part of the treaty
[Shurkural]] (TMO) strides into the room, a broad smile on her face. "Philippe, honey! You let me oversleep! Atribella, darling, the food smells marvelous!"
[Master] an dno one has ever talked to anhyone from Jarvis yet
[Branwyn (Lisa)] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.TreatyOfNorthHoarbrite
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I take your link and raise you one)
[Master] LOL
Shurkural (TMO)] (fold)
[Master] and I stand corrected
[Master] Carnak did sighn
[Master] sign
[Master] Lisa wins that hand
[Master] grins
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] I am sorry Shurakal but this is actually second breakfast
[Jondar (Guy)] ((uh oh that means lisas chracters will be the next ones to die lol))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you do these things and think I will not search? I have a party to go to and a local history prof to fulfill)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and I wouldn't be surprised)
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Branwyn had Joseph out in the courtyard this morning early
[Imari (Mike)] kinky
[Shurkural]] (TMO) turns to Philippe. "You really did let me oversleep, honey." She winks at him and turns to the food.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Before I sent the staff off to their tasks, is there anything you required Branwy? or anyone?
[Imari (Mike)] "No, thank you."
Branwyn (Lisa) looks around "I think anything I have can wait. I have more questions as usual but nothing that has to happen before the party."
Shurkural (TMO)] Oo.. Does Branwyn require someone?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I did that already.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) winks again. "Good for you, sugar."
Branwyn (Lisa) grins and goes to the sideboard for tea
[Ilero]] (TMO) briefly shakes his head before eating another bite.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Very well,
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I will have the carriages ready tommorow afternoon
[Shurkural]] (TMO) bounces giddily on her toes a couple of times.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you. We will be ready for inspection
[Master] and the group is alone without the servants
Shurkural (TMO)] (time to talk trash!)
Shurkural (TMO)] (but still have one outsider)
Branwyn (Lisa) sits down finally and shares the information about the Ambassador's murder with the group
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she keep forgetting about him! :) )
[Marisu]] (TMO) commits it to memory so she can write it down later.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We need to talk to Phillipe and Atribella about any visitors that day and the posion issue. Ithought it interesting.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And as well as the fact that she wasn't screaming bloody hell after someone stabbed her
[Master (to TMO only)] that is a hint for Marisu and sound spells
[Jondar (Guy)] hmm depending on the type of poison she very easily could have been unable to scream or make any other noise.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is true. I just wish the whole place hadn't burned up all traces of anything.
[Jondar (Guy)] the right type of poison and she could have easily watched her death approach and never been able to do a thing
[Jondar (Guy)] which is quite likely why there was a fire
Marisu (TMO)] It could have also been a spell to silence her.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's morbid.
[Jondar (Guy)] possibly but unlikely
Marisu (TMO)] I believe there is a fairly common spell that prevents sound in a certain area.
Branwyn (Lisa) looks over at Marisu and smiles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Where were you at the time of the Ambassador's death?
[Marisu]] (TMO) looks surprised for a second, then smiles. "Oh! I was.. hmmm... I believe I was .. in my room. Reading. Alone, sorry. So I'm afraid I don't have an alibi. Should I turn myself in now?"
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs
[Master] (and I almost thought that was directed at Jondar also)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Branwyn the Inquisitor now? It's not a title it's a vocation)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I did like that line Bob)
[Master] chuckles
[Master] thank you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Actually at the moment, I'm leaning towards any Greek priest as the culprit.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Which is just opening another large can of worms.
[Marisu]] (TMO) nods. "That could make sense."
[Imari (Mike)] were they bearing gifts?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (if they were, I hope they're done)
[Jondar (Guy)] why the greeks if i may ask?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But this is hardly pre-party talk.
Marisu (TMO)] Oh, before I forget again, thank you Branwyn, for letting me use your library. I copied what I wanted this morning.
[Jondar (Guy)] trust me this conversation is much more enjoyable than what you will have to deal with at the ball
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But this is hardly pre-party talk.
[Jondar (Guy)] maybe not but that makes it all the more enjoyable. I always did enjoy a mystery
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wonderful!
Jondar (Guy) grins at Branwyn
[Jondar (Guy)] ((ill have to break out my deerstalker cap and my pipe next week lol))
Marisu (TMO)] I'd rather read a mystery than live one. There are just so many possible answers, and I don't seem to have a detective's instinct for which one is right.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It doesn't help that the murder happened months ago and the body and the entire house burned, no one wants to talk about it and the entore city are possible suspects
Marisu (TMO)] True. In the books it's always just a small group of possible suspects.
Marisu (TMO)] (TMO looks over at the bookcase full of mystery books...)
[Master] and in tea cozies the murder always happens off stage
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, a dozen I can handle but 10,000? It's a little much.
[Jondar (Guy)] ahh but first you start by eliminating all those who were not here at the time
Marisu (TMO)] But almost anyone could have broken in, we think.
[Imari (Mike)] "For every hour that no one comes forth with information you kill a random citizen. Eventually someone will give us something."
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs
[Marisu]] (TMO) stops chewing for a second and looks at Imari. Then shrugs and goes back to his food.
Marisu (TMO)] (that was suppsoed to be Ilero)
[Ilero]] (TMO) stops chewing for a second and looks at Imari. Then shrugs and goes back to his food.
[Master] so plans for the ball? ready to jump ahead 24 hours to that point?
Ilero (TMO)] (I'm fine with it.)
[Master] TMO you can click on Sarengar to get the new map

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (through the door)
[Imari (Mike)] in an elevator to a brass band playing the imperial march as the doors open, but i'm guessing that's just not going to happen
[Master] Ok
[Master] so no plan, you just all go tromping up the stairs
[Imari (Mike)] snicker
Shurkural (TMO)] (marisu can organize something suitable)

[Prince Unthim (Master)] I am glad to see you here, I do hope that your Queen will be abl eto make an appearance someday, it would be a grand ball
Prince Loplin (Master) raises an eyebrow
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "I hope we can rectify that this evening. And yes, I would like that very much."
[Prince Loplin (Master)] Thank you for coming Ambasador Branwyn
[Prince Loplin (Master)] I see you did not bring your chess board, smiles

[Sam (Master)] for her guests to go through after being intorduced
Jondar (Guy) whispers to Imari "see what i mean by boring, we stand around outside while the food is inside"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You most likely have met Ambassador Jondar of Gold Hills.
[Imari (Mike)] whispers back "Not for long. We are first in line. I will race you to the table."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And Prince Ilero of Blackwater and Shurkural
Prince Loplin (Master) nods
[Ilero]] (TMO) bows in recognition.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) turns red and squeaks, then curtsies jerkily.
Prince Loplin (Master) smiles
[Prince Loplin (Master)] Be at ease my child
[Shurkural]] (TMO) nods.
[Prince Loplin (Master)] You do not need to worry about stealing the center of attention
[Shurkural]] (TMO) blinks, then smiles.
[Prince Unthim (Master)] No but I will steal her for a dance if Prince Ilero will allow
[Imari (Mike)] notices Jondar right behind her and grabs a random lady, "My lady, have you met Jondar, Ambassador of the Gold Hills?"
[Imari (Mike)] guides the woman towards Jondar and continues to the food
[Prince Unthim (Master)] (make sure you move to who you are talking with so I can keep track of who is talking with whom)

Jondar (Guy) bows to the startled lady and continues after Imari
party guest #9 (Master) dweeping bow
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Jondar (Guy)] Jondar moved 9'00".
[party guest #9 (Master)] Nice to meet you Ambassador jONDAR
[party guest #9 (Master)] How are you this eVENING?
[party guest #9 (Master)] (yes that is intentional to his way of talking)
[Jondar (Guy)] a pleasure Im sure, if you will pardon me I must speak with the Ambassador from Carnak
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (i just figured he was drunk already)
[party guest #9 (Master)] Oh who si that may I ASK
[Jondar (Guy)] the lady that just passed you
[party guest #9 (Master)] I have never met A BARBARIAN BEFORE
[party guest #9 (Master)] That was a LADY?
Jondar (Guy) grins wickedly "You must go and speak with her, Im sure you will find her conversation quite exciting."
[Jondar (Guy)] oh yes she is also a Priestess
party guest #9 (Master) boldly steps up to Imari
[party guest #9 (Master)] Excuse me I was told YOU ARE
[Jondar (Guy)] Jondar moved 10'10".
[party guest #9 (Master)] pauses and looks back at Jondar
[Imari (Mike)] "You are excused."
[party guest #9 (Master)] Are you truly a Barbarian PRIESTESS/
[Jondar (Guy)] ((youre welcome mike rofl)))
[Imari (Mike)] "Yes, yes I am."
[Imari (Mike)] "And I am hungry."
[Jondar (Guy)] Jondar moved 15'10".
[Imari (Mike)] Imari moved 6'06".
[Jondar (Guy)] ahh Father a good evening to you, have you met the Priestes from Carnak yet? Im sure she would love to speak with a fellow practioner of the Divine arts
[party guest #9 (Master)] what sort of disgusting THINGS DO YOU EAT?
Ilero (TMO)] (are we all inside?)
[Father Mortin (Master)] (yes)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 27'03".
[Father Mortin (Master)] I am certain that I have no need to speak with a barbarian about her false beliefs
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo moved 25'06".
[Father Mortin (Master)] and who are you?
[Imari (Mike)] "Whatever is over on that table. Oh, don't look now, but that woman over there is giving you the look. You should go introduce yourself."
Ilero (TMO)] (Marisu will sort of shadow Branwyn in case she's needed, although not too close. Just keeping her in sight. Ilero will wallflower, and Shur will start out keeping him company)
[Imari (Mike)] Imari moved 5'11".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I think Branwyn is the least of your worries at this party)
[Master] Aunt Jennevive moved 145'06".
[Jondar (Guy)] I sir am the Ambassador from the Gold Hills and while she is a Barbarian she is also an Ambassador from Carnak

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]] moved 126'09".
Ilero (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 126'08".
[Father Mortin (Master)] Good for you
[Father Mortin (Master)] I do not need to deal with Ambassadors from the willderness
[Imari (Mike)] snickers at Jondar's failed attampt at another distraction
Branwyn (Lisa) leans in to Marisu "So if Imari is suddenly an Ambassador does this mean she gets to move into her own house?"
[Jondar (Guy)] and as such we are both your better as well as being more civilized
[Ilero]] (TMO) whispers back, "Only if she takes Galdak with her."
Branwyn (Lisa) whispers "With Galdek!"
Ilero (TMO)] (drat)
Branwyn (Lisa) stifles a laugh
[Marisu]] (TMO) whispers back, "Only if she takes Galdak with her."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yup!
[Father Mortin (Master)] neither Gold Hills nor Carnak would survive without Drillian to supouport y
[Jondar (Guy)] so moveyour pompous fat fundament
Marisu (TMO)] (they do diplomacy different in the Gold Hills...)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (this is why no one wants to help gold hills with their troll invasion)
[Father Mortin (Master)] (they learned from the Tristan school of diplomancy? ;P )
Jondar (Guy) smirks atthe foolish priest "Oh didnt you know the Ambassador from Drillian is also here and is a friend of the Ambasador from Carnak
Branwyn (Lisa) shakes her head violently
[Branwyn (Lisa)] .memurmers "Never seen her in my life"
[Father Mortin (Master)] I have met the Ambassador and Branwyn the Mysterious has been a long friend of teh Church
[Jondar (Guy)] you have managed to insult 3 countries in a very short amount of time im sure the Princes would enjoy hearing that
[Father Mortin (Master)] Did you know she established one of the largest churches in recent times in Drillian?
Branwyn (Lisa) whispers to Marisu "Those two are going to kill me. At least we don't own the short one"
[Jondar (Guy)] ((this is fun lol)))
Branwyn (Lisa) bites her lip "nice ... smile ... move on...."
[Father Mortin (Master)] I will listen to any comment that the Ambassador cares to make
[Marisu]] (TMO) whispers back, "Maybe learning from Tristan won't be such a bad idea. Maybe this is how they do it here."
[Jondar (Guy)] that would be a first
[Father Mortin (Master)] now you can move along and graze at the table as you so desire
[Jondar (Guy)] and hear i thought stuffy fools like yourself ony listened to your silly idols
[Father Mortin (Master)] Jennivive a word with you
[Imari (Mike)] Imari moved 14'11".
[Master] Father Mortin moved 52'00".
[Master] Aunt Jennevive moved 35'01".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 46'05".
[Master] party guest #16 moved 15'06".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo moved 30'00".
Jondar (Guy) strolls back to Imari
[Jondar (Guy)] Jondar moved 50'09".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo moved 18'07".
[Marisu]] (TMO) spritzes the two of them up with a bit of sublte perfumed air as they make their way into the crowd.
[party guest #16 (Master)] Hello Branwyn the Mysteroius
[Jondar (Guy)] that was actually quite fun
[party guest #16 (Master)] if you could come with me please to the rear of the room
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good evening.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Ummm .... of course.
[Imari (Mike)] "I like your failed attempt to distract me."
Jondar (Guy) grins at Imari
[Marisu]] (TMO) follows Branwyn.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I didn't get your name.
[Jondar (Guy)] I forgot how stuffy and foolish some priests are
[Master] party guest #16 and Branwyn moved 118'10".
[party guest #16 (Master)] He is dressed in mages robes
Marisu (TMO)] [Marisu]] moved 45'04".
Marisu (TMO)] [Marisu]] moved 124'07".
[party guest #16 (Master)] I am Crandal the Knowledgable
Marisu (TMO)] (not too close, just enough to keep her eye on them)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is a pleasure. Are you the Prince's Court Mage?
[Crandal (Master)] Yes you would say that
Crandal (Master) he opens the rear door
[Crandal (Master)] gestures Branwyn through
[Crandal (Master)] This will only take a moment
Branwyn (Lisa) walks through "Where are we going?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh! Is this a security check?
[Crandal (Master)] the Great Wizard wishes to see you
[Crandal (Master)] you can stand right there,
Crandal (Master) he stops you just inside the doors
[Marisu]] (TMO) moves to watch them through a window.
Branwyn (Lisa) nods
[Crandal (Master)] in a well lit area
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles happily
[Crandal (Master)] (no window ito that hallway)
[Crandal (Master)] he pulls aside a curtain and pulls out a large staff with a ball on the end
[Crandal (Master)] he pulls off the cover of the ball
[Crandal (Master)] and it is a large eyebal
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (i forgot to memorize spells for party :( )
Marisu (TMO)] [Marisu]] casts a spell against : Message: For (5*5) 25 rounds I can whisper to (5) 5 targets within (30+(5*10)) 80 feet without being overheard. NOTE: Not available.
[Crandal (Master)] eyeball
Marisu (TMO)] (me too)
[Crandal (Master)] (you can do that now )
Branwyn (Lisa) looks on eagerly
[Marisu]] (TMO) Messages Branwyn. "I can hear you if you talk to me."
[Crandal (Master)] He holds out th staff about a foot from him
[Crandal (Master)] turns the eyeball to point at his face
[Crandal (Master)] waves at it
[Crandal (Master)] pauses for a moment
[Crandal (Master)] then turns it to point at Branwyn
[Crandal (Master)] lifts it up a bit then scans her up and down
[Crandal (Master)] lets it pause on her face
[Crandal (Master)] then he turns it back to himself
[Crandal (Master)] and waves again
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Spells - CHANGED: Detect Magic - Wizard -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Dimension Door -- # Memorized: 1 (+0), CHANGED: Fireball -- # Memorized: 0 (1), CHANGED: Magic Missile -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Maximillian's Stony Grasp -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Otto's Silver Tongue -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Polymorph Other -- # Memorized: 0 (1), CHANGED: Read Magic -- # Memorized: 0 (1), CHANGED: Unseen Servant -- # Memorized: 0 (1),
[Crandal (Master)] then puts the cloth back over the ball
[Crandal (Master)] and stores it back behind the curtain
[Crandal (Master)] looks back at Brawnyn
[Crandal (Master)] Thank you for time Branwyn the Mysterious
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It was a security check.
[Crandal (Master)] no
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but do I have to talk aloud to talk to marisu?)
[Crandal (Master)] the Grreat Mage could see you through his Eye of Seeing
Marisu (TMO)] (without being overheard, the description says)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What was it? I have never seen anything like it.
[Crandal (Master)] of course there is no sound to go with it,
Marisu (TMO)] (although he might see your mouth moving if he'l watchinig you)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Did he approve of what he saw?
[Crandal (Master)] but it does serve to keep him informed of what i shappening out in the Kingdom
[Crandal (Master)] I have no idea Branwyn the Mysteroius
[Crandal (Master)] He has several of his Eyes of Seeing
[Crandal (Master)] I do not know what he looks in on
[Crandal (Master)] he merely informed me that you were to be presented when you arrived
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Where is the Great Wizard?
[Crandal (Master)] I do not know
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain)
[Crandal (Master)] he often attends Court
[Crandal (Master)] but I do not know where his tower is
[Crandal (Master)] olr at least his private tower
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can you tell me his name?
[Crandal (Master)] he is the Great Mage
[Crandal (Master)] That is his name
Branwyn (Lisa) stands there speechless
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well give him my respects please.
[Crandal (Master)] I have not achieved membership into the tight cinner circle of the Magus
[Crandal (Master)] if I speak with him I will
[Crandal (Master)] I should bring you back to your guests
Branwyn (Lisa) clenches her teeth and thinks to herself 'Damn dispel magic spell!'
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you.
[Master] Crandal moved 13'02".
[Master] Branwyn moved 31'09".
[Master] party guest #15 moved 57'05".
[party guest #15 (Master)] Hello there, speaking to Marisu
[Marisu]] (TMO) turns and smiles. "Good evening, my lord."
[party guest #15 (Master)] You are part of the new Ambasador's staff?
[Marisu]] (TMO) nods. "Yes sir. Countess Marisu Doeskin."
Sir Nimdle (Master) bows smoothly
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] I am Sir Nimdle,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 21'02".
[Marisu]] (TMO) curtsies in return. "A pleasure, Sir Nimbdle."
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] it is my pleasure to make your aquaintance COuntess Doeskins
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] are you enjoying the city?
[Marisu]] (TMO) sees Branwyn return.
[Marisu]] (TMO) sighs. "It is so much larger than anything I've seen in Drillian, Sir Nimdle. I feel as if I've barely seen anything yet. But, of course, we have been very busy getting settled in."
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] I would be glad to escort you about the city
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] there are some very nice places to visit
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] when one knows where they are
[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles. "Why, thank you, Sir. I might just take you up on that some day."
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] Are you staying at the Ashford Manor truely?
Marisu (TMO)] Yes, we are. I'd love to hear about the hauntings. We've heard a couple of rumors, but nothing really good yet."
Sir Nimdle (Master) laughs darkly, well I hopeyou do not get more than you wish for
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] So tell me is Doeskin a large estate in Drillian? is that why you are sent with the Ambassador? I confess I do not know the small kingdoms that well
[Marisu]] (TMO) points over at Ilero. "Do you see the gentleman in blue over there? He fought a ghoul face to face last year.
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] but obviusly by the name there cannot be much to them
Sir Nimdle (Master) looks over at Ilero
Marisu (TMO)] And we have Sir Tristan. Between them, I think we should be safe from most ghosts.
[Master] party guest #5 moved 36'10".
[party guest #5 (Master)] Hello there, to Indigo
[party guest #5 (Master)] How are you this evening Sir,
party guest #5 (Master) curtseys
Marisu (TMO)] But, back to your question, Doeskin is a fairly large estate, but not the largest. My great aunt was the Queen several years ago.
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] Oh
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] what happened? was there a coup?
Branwyn (Lisa) bows "Very well my lady"
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] that must be so disturbing for you to serve the ambssador then
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (meant Indigo)
[party guest #5 (Master)] YOu are Sir Indigo right?
[party guest #5 (Master)] I am sorry
Marisu (TMO)] Oh no, nothing like that. She died peacefully of old age. And I'm not a Princess, just a Countess.
[party guest #5 (Master)] I do not mean to be too forward
[party guest #5 (Master)] it is just I do not know anyon ehere
[party guest #5 (Master)] and the only one who seems to be looking around is that singer over there that the Prince brought in
[Indigo (Lisa)] That's okay. I hardly know anyone either. What is your name?
[party guest #5 (Master)] and you looked like you were just standing there
Indigo (Lisa) scratches his head "I'm not very good at parties"
[Lorilop (Master)] I am Lorilop
[Lorilop (Master)] I am the ambassador from Turndale
[Lorilop (Master)] I displike parties too
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] But if your aunt was QUeen, why would you not be in line for the throne?
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] I would think that someone with your obvious charms and beauty would be loved by the people
[Indigo (Lisa)] (and marisu needs to explain the drillian matriarchy and lines of succession now)
Indigo (Lisa) bows "Good evening Ambassador! It's not that I don't like parties. I'm just not very good at being at them I guess. The formal ones anyway. Where is Turndale?"
[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles. "You flatter me, Sir Nimdle. First, I'm still young. Second, the title passed to her first son's wife."
[Master] party guest #18 moved 46'07".
[party guest #18 (Master)] Hello Ambassador Branwyn
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good evening. I do not think I have had the pleasure of making your acquaintance.
[Belinor (Master)] I am AMbassador Belinor of Lorntile
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is a pleasure to meet you. You must forgive my awkwardness. I have not been an Ambassador long.
[Lorilop (Master)] Sir INdigo I am Turndale is across the Narva and north
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] Her first son's wife?
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] so your cousin?
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] That seems rather awkward
[Indigo (Lisa)] So you didn't have to come from too far away. Do you like it here?
[Belinor (Master)] It is a pleasure to meet someone from the SMall Kingdoms who wishes to speak with people
[Belinor (Master)] the previous AMbassador did not deign to speak withmany
[Lorilop (Master)] I like the City fair enough
[Lorilop (Master)] I tend to enjoy the open fields more
[Lorilop (Master)] but my father needed someone he could trust
[Lorilop (Master)] and who would not anger the priests too much
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is sad to hear and sad for Drillian. I hope you will find that I will not resemble her.
[Lorilop (Master)] so I stay quiet and out of th way, I was surprised to be invited to this, I think th ePrince took pity on me
Marisu (TMO)] Oh no, not really. The system we use avoids one of the major problems of a hereditary throne. In every family, eventually you'll get someone who is born to rule, but is totally wrong for it somehow. Either just no good at it, or abuses their power, or something. But for us, the throne passes to the Queen's first son's wife. And those are almost always arranged marriages, with the Queen hand-picking the best woman to follow her.
[Lorilop (Master)] I would say by simply talking with others you will do well
[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you the priests here get angry a lot?
Marisu (TMO)] (see, I was paying attention)
[Indigo (Lisa)] And you shouldn't say that! Of course the prince shoulod have invited you! You are an Ambassador and you're nice and pretty ...
Indigo (Lisa) blushes
[Indigo (Lisa)] (very nicely done tmo :) )
[Belinor (Master)] I would say by simply talking with others you will do well
[Indigo (Lisa)] (bob is mean for doing that to you)
[Belinor (Master)] but Branwyn the Mysterios have you met many others yet?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But that is the whole reason I am here.
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "Not yet. I got whisked away and was a bit overhwlemed.
[Lorilop (Master)] and Sir Indigo, I fear I am not quite aceptable in my beliefs for the priests of this city
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] That is a very strange way of picking a new Queen
Indigo (Lisa) nods "Oh! There seems to be a lot of that here."
[Jondar (Guy) (to GM only)] Sarengar: Singing check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 7!!
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] Oh that was not good, what was that screech?
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] Who is that singer ?
Marisu (TMO)] Perhaps, but it's worked fairly well for us over the years. And it seems better to me than trusting that the first born is qualified and capable.
[Marisu]] (TMO) looks toward the noise.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Did Artiark come to the party?
[Master] party guest #9 moved 24'00".
Indigo (Lisa) looks around
[party guest #9 (Master)] to Imari, I do say
[party guest #9 (Master)] that sounds like a bird call if anything, but it is certainly not singing
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Belinor "Well that was unpleasant."
Marisu (TMO)] (don't have my headphones on. did I miss a sound file?)
[Dorn (Master)] I am Dorn, who might you be>
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would very much like to invite you to dinner soon if you would like to come.
[Lorilop (Master)] Who is Artiark?
[Imari (Mike)] "I am Imari."
[Jondar (Guy)] My apologies I fear my throat was rather dry
Marisu (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 19'05".
[Indigo (Lisa)] That's Imari's hippogriff. He makes noises like that.
Indigo (Lisa) points towards Imari
[Sarengar (Guy)] My apologies I fear my throat was rather dry
[Belinor (Master)] I would be very pleased to attend
Sarengar (Guy) takes a drink
[Sarengar (Guy)] Sarengar: Singing check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL FAILED against 7!!
[Indigo (Lisa)] (poor sarengar)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (humiliations galore)
[Lorilop (Master)] (he sings well, just when he pushes the envelope he is either great or has issues)
[Lorilop (Master)] YOu live with the barbarians too?
[Lorilop (Master)] wow
[Lorilop (Master)] you are brave
[Lorilop (Master)] to be in the haunted palace
[Lorilop (Master)] and then have the barbarians and a hippogriff
[Lorilop (Master)] you are th bravest man I have ever met
[Indigo (Lisa)] People keep saying that, but no one has seen any ghosts.
Indigo (Lisa) puffs out his chest a bit "Thank you!"
Lorilop (Master) whispers, may th eblessings of Zeus keep ou safe
[Dorn (Master)] So why did the ambassador bring you to the City?
[Dorn (Master)] I would think that your type would be more comfortable in the wilderness at home
Indigo (Lisa) looks up and his mouth falls open a bit "Ohhh"
[Indigo (Lisa)] I have lots of gods that are supposed to keep me safe.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe that's why I have been so far.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Does Zeus do that too?
Lorilop (Master) holds a finger to her lips
[Lorilop (Master)] We cannot talk about that here
Indigo (Lisa) closes his mouth tightly
[Lorilop (Master)] I do hope you are enjoying your stay in the city
[Lorilop (Master)] have you seen much of it yet?
Indigo (Lisa) whispers "Sorry"
[Indigo (Lisa)] No. I have hardly seen anything.
Sarengar (Guy) finishes his song.
Lorilop (Master) claps politely
[Marisu]] (TMO) claps.
Marisu (TMO)] [Shurkural]] moved 14'11".
Sir Nimdle (Master) claps following Marisu's lead
[Sarengar (Guy)] A song for you Ambassador Branwyn
Branwyn (Lisa) looks over at Sarengar is shock thinking he was supposed to be travelling to Old Man Millers and not on stage in Dryads Lair.
[Sarengar (Guy)] Sarengar: Singing check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 7!!
[Marisu]] (TMO) turns back to Sir Nimdle. "So what is your role here, Sir Nimdle?"
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] Sarengar can feel Brawnyn's stare on him
Marisu (TMO)] (winces)
Sarengar (Guy) starts to cough
Branwyn (Lisa) stares trying to keep her face calm
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] I am the Ambassaor from Domvile
Sarengar (Guy) takes a drink
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (*ding ding* to marisu)
[Sarengar (Guy)] I think I may need some more water at this rate
Sarengar (Guy) tries again
[Sarengar (Guy)] Sarengar: Singing check: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 7!!
[Sarengar (Guy)] (((booyaa))
[Master] and a sweet aria comes out
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (there's the sarengar we know and love)
[Master] brb
Marisu (TMO)] Oh, very nice. I haven't been there, but I've heard of it, of course. How are things up there these days?
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to TMO only)] you will be there shortly
Marisu (TMO) (to Lisa only)] Yep, but not sure yet if it should be mentioned. ;) )
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to TMO only)] is everyone at this party an ambassador?
Marisu (TMO) (to Lisa only)] I did have to look it up though. My patying attention is still a bit limited in scope. 0:) )
[Master] b
[Lorilop (Master)] to Indigo, perhaps he is not that bad of a singer after all, maybe he was just nervous
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] Domvile is a rather dreary place I am afraid
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] we are close by the Cordrwan Hills
[Indigo (Lisa)] Sarengar is a great singer! He must have just been doing exercises or something.
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] there are good mines but it is hard to maintain
[Lorilop (Master)] Oh you know him?
[Indigo (Lisa)] We've known each other a long time.
Marisu (TMO)] Well, almost any place has got to be less dreary than the Mist, Sir Nimdle. Trust me on that. I did not enjoy my time in the Mist.
[Lorilop (Master)] Is he a knight too?
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] The Mist must be a strange thing
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] why does that happen do you know?
[Indigo (Lisa)] No. He's a singer. And a ship captain.
[Lorilop (Master)] A captain? that sounds more important than singing
[Indigo (Lisa)] He likes doing both.
[Belinor (Master)] I heard that the Prince brought this singer in for you
[Marisu]] (TMO) gives a little shudder. "Indeed. You can barely see the moon at night, and the sun is never clearly seen either, always through a haze."
[Belinor (Master)] (to Branwyn)
Lisa is now controlling Branwyn
[Belinor (Master)] He does seem to be doing better as the night goes along
Lisa is no longer controlling Branwyn
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] THen I am very glad you are here with us in the City then
Marisu (TMO)] I don't know, Sir Nimdle. It is a terrible thing, that I hope someone can find a way to dispel someday.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank goodness for that! That was quite kind of the Prince. Sarengar is a good friend. We have known each other a long time.
[Belinor (Master)] oh?
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to TMO only)] no chance in hell
Marisu (TMO) (to Lisa only)] is the cause known? to us, anyways?
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to TMO only)] unless we capture and control the vampire overlords :)
[Belinor (Master)] I do not tend to spend time with artists, I find they are so tempermental
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to TMO only)] the vampires made the Mist
Sarengar (Guy) grins and begins to sing a sea shanty
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to TMO only)] branwyn will use that as last resort secret weapon if terraguard really wants a war with drillian
[Sarengar (Guy)] Sarengar: Singing check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 7!!
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to TMO only)] she is a "friend" to the undead after all
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to TMO only)] Lisa was been plotting in her head this week on this :)
[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles at Sir Nimdle. "Thank you, Sir Nimdle. I'm still a bit in awe of the size of Dryads Lair. I'm used to everything being much closer and easier, and not nearly so many people around.
[Imari (Mike)] alright, i've hit my wall for tonight. have a good week all.
Marisu (TMO)] (g'nite Mike)
[Sarengar (Guy)] (((night mike)))
[Belinor (Master)] night mike
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (goodnight Mike)
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] I hope you can see more of th eCity
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is Sarengar still on stage?)
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] but there are other cities as well
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] (yes)
[Sir Nimdle (Master)] Some of the city states are very complex
[Sarengar (Guy)] ((simging a sea shanty at the moment lol)))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So does the Prince have many of these parties?
Mike has left the game on Fri Nov 28 23:21:46 EST 2014
[Belinor (Master)] He hosts them as needed, it seems there could be more of them here at the Palace, but it he comfortable with slumming it at some of the noble houses here in the City
[Marisu]] (TMO) nods. "I bet they are. I plan on learning as much as I can about all the cities and people here. This is a fabulous opportunity for me to learn more about the rest of the world."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He attends parties around the city?
Marisu (TMO)] (I need to take 10 so I can put kids to bed. Back soon)
[Belinor (Master)] ANyone who wants others to think they are someone invites the Prince
Sarengar (Guy) finishes the shanty and takes a drink
[Belinor (Master)] if he decides to attend then you can claim a vistory
[Belinor (Master)] victory
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then I suppose my test will be coming soon
Sarengar (Guy) begins his final song
[Belinor (Master)] oh?
[Sarengar (Guy)] Sarengar: Singing check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 7!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sweet)
[Belinor (Master)] claps
[Master] Sarengar finishes with a beautiful Aria
[Branwyn (Lisa)] My attache is planning parties already. Have you been the Ambassador here long?
[Master] and the ball room echoes with applause
Branwyn (Lisa) claps and tries to signal Sarengar to come over
[Belinor (Master)] I was made ambassador when I was 2 years old
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh my!
[Belinor (Master)] although I di dnot come to the city until much later, she says with a smile
Sarengar (Guy) notices Branwyns signal and after a final bow slowly makes his way over
[Belinor (Master)] It was a way to avoid my father from having to find a suitable suitor for me
[Belinor (Master)] turns to Sarengar,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are a braver woman than I, Belinor!
[Belinor (Master)] So I in turn look to my own needs
[Sarengar (Guy)] Sarengar moved 105'01".
[Belinor (Master)] and you are a veru suitable means to a need
[Sarengar (Guy)] Surprise Branwyn
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "And that is how I became a mage."
Sarengar (Guy) grins at Branwyn
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think we will get along very well Belinor.
[Belinor (Master)] Hello there, she says to Sarengar
Sarengar (Guy) bows to Belinor
[Sarengar (Guy)] Greetings
Branwyn (Lisa) turns to Sarengar her eyes wide "Sarengar! I am shocked to see you!"
[Belinor (Master)] You sing divinely
[Belinor (Master)] leans in, I wonder how long you can hold your breath she whispers in his ear
[Sarengar (Guy)] thank you
[Sarengar (Guy)] that is a question for the ages to solve M'Lady
[Belinor (Master)] I hope to do some testing
[Sarengar (Guy)] the Prince asked me to perform for the evening
[Belinor (Master)] I will leave you Ambassador Branwyn
[Belinor (Master)] but I will keep an eye on your canary,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It was a pleasure meeting you Belinor.
[Belinor (Master)] just in case he flys away
[Branwyn (Lisa)] After a few moments, he can be all yours.
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
[Belinor (Master)] I look foward to that
[Master] she walks away for a bit
Sarengar (Guy) sighs
Branwyn (Lisa) takes Sarengar's elbow and turns him toward the wall "Didn't you get my message? And the gold?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You were supposed to be delivering a message to Old Man Miller back in Redfern. You can't have done that already have you?
[Sarengar (Guy)] unfortunately when a warship full of marines tells you tyhat you arte going to be performing and hands you a big sack of gold theres not much you can do
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So you didn't go?
[Sarengar (Guy)] I will be leaving for od man millers aftyer i leave here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This is awful.
[Sarengar (Guy)] dont worry i have a few tricks up my sleeve to make up time
[Sarengar (Guy)] you will however have to make an excuse for your friend
Branwyn (Lisa) eyes him up and down "Since when did you learn how to teleport?"
[Sarengar (Guy)] sailors always know how to teleport they just make it look more complicated than it really is
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you Sarengar. I just really need you to do this. Old Man Miller has to be his usual hospitable self and I wanted him to have a little notice.
[Sarengar (Guy)] the weather will help the trip plus i made sure to hire not one but two full crews
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you!
[Sarengar (Guy)] if I have too 1 crew can row while the other rests
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are the best.
[Sarengar (Guy)] unless i get wet
[Master] (now get out of here before I put a fireball up your ass)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I can relax now and talk to my next guest.
[Sarengar (Guy)] (((rofl)))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Sarengar (Guy)] at least you will get to try and explain to your friend Belinor was it , why i had to leave so fast
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (purposely did not memorize that for tonight - she will not cast fireball under any circumstances at prince's house!)
[Master] and I think this is a good spot to break
[Master] we can continue online and next week
[Master] so that everyone gets a chance to be involved
[Guy] i should be in again next week
[Master] great
[Master] I think this went pretty well
[Master] I was a little choppy
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh this party is just getting started)
[Master] but that is par for the course
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I would hope anyway)
[Guy] yeah 2 successes for sarengars singing
[Master] definately Lisa
[Lisa] think it went very well
[Lisa] will let you wrap up then
Marisu (TMO)] (aww, I missed the ending?)
[Guy] someday im going to have to find a magic item to raise his charisma
[Lisa] goodnight and see you next week!
[Master] no ending
[Master] just a pause
[Guy] night lisa
