[Arilyn] nothing special-dinner stuff

[Kaz] Dinner is a good thing.

[Arilyn] so I jusr finished the chat log-you quit Bob?

[DM] chocolate chip ice cream is a good dinner

[DM] and yeah

[DM] is a weird thing right now

[Arilyn] you'll have to fill me in later

[Kaz] Oh, I have to leave at 8:45 to pick up Guy, but if we're still going strong I'll pop back in when I get home.

[DM] but will be better soon

[DM] ok, so what is teh plan

[DM] to get the attention of a kirin?

[DM] did you perfect that dance?

[Beth] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kaz] Off er it some chocolate chip ice cream?

[Beth] Plan? we have to have a plan?

[Kaz] We have to get the attention of one, somehow. That would, yes, require a plan.

[Beth] first we have to find one

[Arilyn] the dance is...well, I do have dancing so what are my chances?

[DM] hmmm,

[Kaz] The Kirin Dance? Is that like the Safety Dance?

[DM] picturing christy in a little I dream of genie outift

[DM] dancing to lure the kirin

[Arilyn] if that'll work!

[Beth] heh... I thought the Kirin was Asian :D

[Kaz] Yes

[DM] yes it is

[Beth] I don't think I have dancing, but all gypsies dance so it should be an 'inherent skill' lol

[DM] so

[DM] the dance is appauded by some of the acolytes

[DM] adn others seem to be a bit taken by it

[DM] but no kirins appear in teh sky

[DM] next plan

[Kaz] We can try my idea

[Kaz] It means we have to travel, though

[Beth] I figured we'd have to travel anyway

[Arilyn] oh, well!

[DM] frequent flyer miles

[Arilyn] at least I entertained the DM a little!

[Beth] lol ::grins::

[Kaz] Okay, well... you said it was 26 on the map, right?

[DM] what is?

[DM] Mactirr?

[Kaz] To find a temple to Herne?

[Kaz] yes

Arilyn is receiving the map Base Map...

Arilyn has received the map Base Map.

[DM] yes

[DM] except that it is not to herne in particular

[DM] but that is one of the centers of Celtic worship

[Kaz] Oh?

[DM] as is Wolfspack

[Kaz] Ahh, okay

[DM] to go there and explore options

[Kaz] Oh. Then, do we have to go to Mactirr? Can we not go to Wolfspack?

[Arilyn] any word from Mike or John?

[DM] you can go to either

[DM] adn no word from John, Mike is at a party

[DM] with the hopes of a woman

[Arilyn] he has hopes like a woman or to get a woman?

[Kaz] *snerk*

[Kaz] I see him in a chic taupe sheath

[Kaz] with matching shoes and purse

[Kaz] A small strand of diamonds, perhaps

[DM] to get a woman

[DM] or impress one

[DM] at least

[Arilyn] scarfing down chocolate cake in the corner

[Beth] what happened to the one he had?

[DM] lol

[Kaz] Well, the matching shoes and purse should impress one

[DM] lol

[DM] so

[DM] ideas for impressing the celtic priests

[DM] or a kirin

[Kaz] Okay

Beth is idealess

[Kaz] The Kirin should appreciate honesty

[Kaz] maybe we should start with the priests

[Beth] hopefully it will appreciate repayment for a debt

[Kaz] They should also appreciate honesty

[Kaz] yes

[Kaz] hrm

[DM] so you want to go to Wolfspack to talk with the clerics there

[Kaz] For the priests, I would say the abbreviated version of what we're doing, and why - abbreviated only to keep it short, not to hide anything.

[DM] adn see if they can help you

[Kaz] yes

[Kaz] please

[Beth] sure

[Kaz] (maybe Arilyn can dance for them, too)

[DM] ok, so in the celtic temple at Wolfspack

[Beth] ::grins::

[DM] and talking with one of the upper level clerics there

[Urglamat] nods his head, hello how can I help you

[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.

Moirra (Kaz) bows

[Moirra (Kaz)] I bid you greetings, good sir.

[Urglamat] they said I had a guest to talk with this afternoon

[Urglamat] who are you and your friends?

[Moirra (Kaz)] I am Moirra, lately of Roadhaven, and these are my friends and companions, Arilyn and Kira.

[Urglamat] smiles

[Urglamat] and what brings the Dragonslayers to our Temple?

Moirra (Kaz) blushes

[Moirra (Kaz)] We are hoping to find some assistance, and perhaps guidance.

[Moirra (Kaz)] It may be easiest to give you a little background, so that what we ask makes sense.

[Urglamat] you wish to leave the Dragonslayers and join us here in the Temple?

[Moirra (Kaz)] ((just got a phone call, may get disconnected))

[Beth] ::chuckles:: no, not yet, good sir.

Kaz has left the game on Fri Nov 30 19:32:51 EST 2007

Kaz has left the game on Fri Nov 30 19:32:51 EST 2007

[Urglamat] what can I help you with then?

Kaz has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 19:33:24 EST 2007

[Beth] we are in the process of repaying a debt for one of our group. A part of that repayment involves returning a wayward girlchild to her father

Kaz is receiving the map Base Map...

Kaz has received the map Base Map.

[Urglamat] many women are wayward

[Beth] we are trying to accomplish this task without bloodshed, if you can believe that

[Urglamat] are you willig to give up your gypsy ways?

[Urglamat] and become an honest woman?

[Beth] We were set 3 tasks by the girl so that she would agree to return to her home

Kaz has left the game on Fri Nov 30 19:34:50 EST 2007

[Beth] ah, I AM an honest woman, good sir.

[Beth] We accomplished the first task and brought her the daughter of the Green Mistress alive

[Urglamat] most impressive

Kaz has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 19:36:29 EST 2007

[Urglamat] you captured her and mounted her on the wall?

Kaz is receiving the map Base Map...

Kaz has received the map Base Map.

[Urglamat] or did you slay here

[Beth] now we seek to accomplish the second task which is to bring her the horn of a kirin. we would like to do this without removing the horn or harming the Kirin in any way

[Kaz] Oh, neither

[Beth] no, she came of her own free will and left the same

[Kaz] And that is all we would wish of a Kirin, in fact.

[Urglamat] you hold sway over an evil dragon?

[Kaz] None of us will even consider harming one

[Beth] mmm... I don't know that I would call her exactly evil. She is still young.

Percy has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 19:38:18 EST 2007

[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.

[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Hi Hans!))

[Urglamat] hey Hans

[Beth] Hi, Hans

[Percy] Howdy, folks!

Percy is receiving the map Base Map...

Percy has received the map Base Map.

[Urglamat] caught up on teh chat room Hans?

[Percy] "The dragon did no evil in our sight."

Moirra (Kaz) beams at Sir Percival

[Urglamat] just as this gypsy is an honest woman?

[Arilyn] so the short story is we have been tasked with a few quests and as part, need to find a kirin. but we can assure you we mean it no harm

[Percy] /urg nope, not yet.

Urglamat raised eyebrow

[Beth] I am a virtuous woman, good sir

[Urglamat] ahhh I did not think you were honest

[Percy (to DM only)] test

[Beth] my skills are only used to find and dismantle traps for the dragon slayers

[Urglamat (to Percy only)] yes that works

[Percy (to DM only)] a-ha. i was fooled by the "urglamat"

[Beth] I AM honest ::glares::

[Moirra (Kaz)] Sir, I believe that my mentor raised me to a good person. I hope you would not doubt this.

[Urglamat] nods I am sorry

[Percy] Need some more time to get caught up, guys...

[Urglamat] I have heard many tales of the Dragonslayers

Arilyn has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 19:42:20 EST 2007

[Urglamat] perhaps only some of them are false

[Urglamat] you are seeking a Kirin,

[Moirra (Kaz)] Well, I have only come recently to the Dragonslayers, but I have seen no evil in them, and no dishonesty.

[Urglamat] why do you come here

[Urglamat] you must search the far eastern lands for them

[Percy] I forgot the shortcut to do the "raised eyebrow" thing. Please help.

[Moirra (Kaz)] I wondered about a thing

[Urglamat] they are a rare sight even there I understand

[Urglamat (to BOB's Laptop only)] something

[Urglamat] slash then something

[Moirra (Kaz)] And hoped for some guidance, at least, if you could and would provide it.

[Urglamat (to Percy only)] /like this

[Percy] /singing melodiously

[Urglamat] slash me

Percy singing melodiously

[Urglamat] there you go

[Percy (to DM only)] thx

[Urglamat] what sort of guidance can I give you?

[Moirra (Kaz)] Well, it is probably rather presumptuous of me, and I do hope you will forgive me.

[Moirra (Kaz)] Does not the good Herne hold sway over the horned creatures? I had thought that, perhaps, one might come if he bid it.

[Moirra (Kaz)] Just to hear us, you understand. We do not seek to coerce or force a Kirin - or anything, for that matter.

[Urglamat] Lord Cernunnos is the master of all animals

Moirra (Kaz) blushes deep red but looks hopefully at the cleric.

[Urglamat] perhaps he could help

[Percy] (how do we address this priest? what rank? abbot? cardinal? father? whatever?

[Urglamat] what would you offer the Lord of the Hunt for his help?

[Urglamat] (he did not give a title just his name)

[Moirra (Kaz)] I do not know. What would he wish?

[Urglamat] The Wild Hunt roams the earth in times of need to help vanquish evil

[Urglamat] do you wish to call him?

[Percy] "Urglamat, you have been a great help to the Dragonslayers. I thank you. We will go east and let you know how it goes."

[Urglamat] A wind comes soughing through the trees Carrying the song of Frost The dance of leaves turned red or gold The baying of the Autumn Hounds, the Winter Wolf. Holly Lord, we call to you to keep our fears at bay The Light is gone, stripped from the sky and the trees are shorn also The Earth, our Mother, and our guide slumbers in her bare cloak of brown We call to you, Blood-berry Crowned Royal Stag, come to us from your eternal grove Hunter, protect our dimming heartfires Shield our circle of flickering light Help us see past the long shadows cast in the dying-birth of the new Year. Oh stag of seven tines Guardian of secrets held within Annwn's veil Bough of knife-sharp evergreen Antlered King, we call you. Be with us, Herne, In the Darkness that is come Give us eyes to see in shadow, that we may never fear, or lose the memory of light.

[Percy] :oh, a real-life tree-hugger. should've known.:

[Percy] :uh, Bob, you really put some thought into this one...:

[Beth] ((NICE! where'd you find that solstice prayer?))

Moirra (Kaz) stares at the cleric, eyes and heart filled with hope.

[Urglamat] you wish to call the hunt?

Percy paladin appears skeptical but figures, eh, "to each his own". What do you expect in a world with talking green dragons?

[Arilyn] exactly what does that mean...call the hunt?

[Beth] um... wow... not sure we meant to get quite that involved

[Percy] "Have you not called him, with, uh, all of *that*?"

Percy raised eyebrows

[Urglamat] it does happen that this evening is the night of the double full moon

[Arilyn] perfect timing eh?

[Urglamat] and it would be the easist entry for him

[Beth] we do seem to manage to time things well, don't we?

[Beth] what is the cost?

[Percy] "And that means..."

Percy ?????

[Urglamat] sits and lets Moirra explain

[Moirra (Kaz)] Well...

[Percy] "I do not wish to us to be further indebted. We owe you for what you have already provided, Urglamat. We must be off."

[Moirra (Kaz)] The purpose of the Hunt is to vanquish evil.

[Percy] "I like the sound of that, Lady Moirra."

[Arilyn] vanquishing sounds good

[Moirra (Kaz)] Perhaps the cost will be to help them in some way. It may be a specific act, or just a general aid.

[Percy] (my point is just that we have so many already outstanding tasks to perform...)

[Arilyn] ::and isn't that where the fun comes from?::

[Percy] (I have no problem performing any specific act; they just need to get in line)

[Moirra (Kaz)] ((we do, in the normal course of the day, seem to work to their aims))

[Percy] (yes, I love quests, actually. We just seem to *get* quests when we *do* quests)

[Arilyn] ::Bob knows how full our dance card is::

[Moirra (Kaz)] I do not know how deeply involved such a cost may be, but I will bear it myself, if need bt.

[Arilyn] well, I say sure, what the heck, let's call the hunt

[Beth] ((Herne is a 'localized god' aspect of Cernunnos, from the area of Birkshire only))

[Urglamat] Moirra moved 200'06".

[Urglamat] Kira moved 190'04".

[Percy] "Priestess, while I have breath your burden will not be borne alone."

[Urglamat] Arilyn moved 209'03".

[Urglamat] Percival moved 212'06".

[Moirra (Kaz)] Galant Percival, nor would any burden of yours be yours alone.

[Beth] I would help bear the burdon, Moirra if need be

Percy beaming in pride

[Urglamat] on the full moon tonight

[Arilyn] count me in too!

[Urglamat] you will make your ofering to the hunt

[Percy] "Certainly, Urglamat."

[Arilyn] what do we need?

[Percy] "...Friend."

[Urglamat] if ou were from the barbaric Hallstatt region you would simply sacrafice one of your humans

Moirra (Kaz) looks affronted

[Beth] ::shudders::

[Percy] ::uh, no::

[Urglamat] if you wish to attempt something

[Urglamat] more civilized

[Arilyn] lucky for us, we're not

[Moirra (Kaz)] Indeed, please

[Urglamat] then perhaps you can find something to lure him with

[Beth] ::nods:: that would be preferable

[Urglamat] a song or a poem

[Urglamat] to recit and bring him to you

[Arilyn] i could do my dance again :)

[Percy] "Hmmmmm....."

[Arilyn] and Percy can sing

[Beth] Arilyn and I could both dance and Percy could sing

[Percy] "I am quite a talented singer, Friend Urlgamat."

[Urglamat] he bows, and dismisses you,

[Arilyn] we can get matching outfits

[Percy] "Brother Urglamat."

[Urglamat] if you wish to use our sacred grove

[Moirra (Kaz)] I have nothing to offer, then.

[Urglamat] return tonight to the cemetary

Moirra (Kaz) looks downcast.

[Urglamat] and speak with Copse

Beth hugs Moirra

[Urglamat] the druid of the grove there

[Beth] you have much to offer

[Urglamat] he will assist you

[Percy] "Yes, we will do thusly."

[DM] ok

[Percy] :so, we're out of there, right?:

[DM] so you have to come up with some sort of poem, etc

[DM] google is your friend

[DM] see what you can find

[DM] come up with

[DM] etc

[DM] and we will then jump to night

[DM] and see if it is acceptable

[DM] you can compare notes here

[Moirra (Kaz)] okay

[Percy] I know a couple of sonnets.

[DM] how long? 20 minutes?

[Percy] off the top of my head.

[DM] think you can find that?

[DM] very good Hans

[DM] that will help a lot

[DM] or Pslams

[Percy] I want Moirra to be really involved in this, however.

[Percy] I know a bunch of Psalms.

[DM] or somethign that will please an incarnation of nature

[Moirra (Kaz)] I have an idea or two

[DM] and the hunt

[DM] go for it

[DM] off to get a drink here

[Moirra (Kaz)] but it involves me being a little quiet while I get it together

[DM] go for it

[Percy] Okay.

[DM] will not count anythign you say intot he room here

[DM] until Moirra commits to that

[DM] and says it si what you are using

[Percy] You are *so* gracious, Bob.

[DM] I am away from the keyboard.

[Beth] how do you do a paste here?

[BOB's Laptop] regular copy/paste stuff

[Percy] Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?

[Percy] He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart.

[Percy] He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

[Percy] In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.

[Percy] He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

[Percy] (Psalm 15)

[Percy] This is Moirra's time to shine, so we'll let her lead this little adventure, okay?

[DM] I am back at the keyboard.

[DM] control C to copy like always

[DM] control V to paste

[DM] and nice job Hans

Percy bows

[Beth] Cernnunos Chant Cern-nu-noh-oh-oh-oh-os Stag Horned Hunter, Hunted One Join Us Now Cer-nu-noh-oh-oh-oh-os Greenwood Lord of Life and Death Join Us Now Cern-nu-noh-oh-oh-oh-os Herne and Pan and Every Man Join Us Now

[DM] interesting Beth

[DM] combining Pan and Herne

Kaz has left the game on Fri Nov 30 20:13:15 EST 2007

[Arilyn] wiggle wiggle, shake shake shake (that's me in my i dream of Jeannie costume practicing over in the corner)

[Percy] Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah.

[Percy] (part of Psalm 66. Man, David was a rock star.)

[Percy] (you know, he had over 100,000 people in his choir. awesome stuff)

[Percy] (not a bad feat for 3000 years ago...)

[DM] wish I had a music file to push out to everyone

[Percy] Bob, where do get these names?

[DM] which names?

[Percy] Urglamat?

Kaz has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 20:15:58 EST 2007

[DM] I look at the ceiling and then type

[Percy] I have to *see* it every time I type it.

[Percy] *every* time

[Percy] ::chuckles::

[Kaz] sorry, complete puter freeze there.

[Percy] A "puter" freeze? You from the South, Kaz?

[Percy] ::chuckles::

[DM] so we have a couple of pslams to take parts from, a chant,

[DM] other ideas still bubbling along there?

[Percy] Oh, I have ideas, Bob-man.

[DM] let everyoen hear them

[Percy] Some electronica music from our cable provider.

[Beth] I'm searching

[Percy] I just don't know how to get them *here*.

[DM] grins

[DM] yeah music is hard

[DM] I should work on making that work better

[Beth] The Song of Amergin I am a stag of seven tines, I am a wide flood on a plain, I am a wind on the deep waters, I am a shining tear of the sun, I am a hawk on a cliff, I am fair among flowers, I am a god who sets the head afire with smoke. I am a battle waging spear, I am a salmon in the pool, I am a hill of poetry, I am a ruthless boar, I am a threatening noise of the sea, I am a wave of the sea, Who but I knows the secrets of the unhewn dolmen ?

[Percy] Handel's Messiah, anyone?

Vicki has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 20:20:09 EST 2007

[Percy] Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

[Arilyn] use your *imagination*

[Percy] Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

[DM] nice one Bdeth

[Percy] Exactly. What she said. ::pointing::

[DM] Beth

[Vicki] hi

[DM] hey Viki

[Vicki] sorry i'm late, went out with hubby

[Vicki] we left at 5:15

[DM] catch up on teh chat room, they are plotting and planning

[Beth] The Great Father God, Who of old was called Osiris, Adonis, Zeus, Thor, Pan, Cernunnos, Herne, Lugh and by many other names. (source) "My Law is Harmony with all things. Mine is the secret that opens the gates of life And mine is the dish of salt of the earth That is the body of Cernunnos I give the knowledge of life everlasting, And beyond death I give the promise of regeneration and renewal. I am the sacrifice, the father of all things, And my protection blankets the earth."

[Vicki] i took my time eating a big meal

[Percy] Sure. Glad to have you here, Vicki.

[Vicki] the simple thing for me to do would be to ask, what are we plotting and planning now?

[Vicki] thanks percy

[Percy] *I* made my wife a tv dinner. It was good, though, eh, Christy?

[DM] lol

[Vicki] lol

[Arilyn] umm, yeah...

[Vicki] nothing better than a man who can cook huh?

[Percy] Well, you should have had the meatloaf. It was better than the salisbury steak, I guess.

[Percy] Next time, Babe.

[DM] boston market meals?

[DM] the meatloaf is really actaullly good

[Percy] Exactly, Bob.

[Beth] and one more: The Charge of the God

[Beth] Listen the the words of the Great Father, Who of old was called Osiris, Adonis, Zeus, Thor, Pan, Cernunnos, Herne, Lugh and by many other names: "My Law is Harmony with all things. Mine is the secret that opens the gates of life And mine is the dish of salt of the earth That is the body of Cernunnos I give the knowledge of life everlasting, And beyond death I give the promise of regeneration and renewal. I am the sacrifice, the father of all things, And my protection blankets the earth." Hear the words of the dancing God, The music of whose laughter stirs the winds, Whose voice calls the seasons: "I who am the Lord of the Hunt and the Power of the Light, Sun among the clouds and the secret of the flame, I call upon your bodies to arise and come unto me. For I am the flesh of the earth and all it's beings. Through me all things must die and with me are reborn. Let my worship be in the body that sings, For behold all acts of willing sacrifice are my rituals. Let there be desire and fear, anger and weakness, Joy and peace, awe and longing within you. For these too are part of the mysteries found within yourself, within me, All beginnings have endings, and all endings have beginnings."

[Vicki] um bob... which map?

[Vicki] thanks

[Beth] the last is the full poem of the previous piece

[Kaz] I really really like that Beth

[Percy] Well, you're in charge of this Kaz. Make it sew...

Kaz grabs a needle and thread....

[Vicki] lol

[Percy] ::chuckles::

[Kaz] Hiya Vicky

[Vicki] what are you sewing Kaz?

[Kaz] Vicki

[Vicki] hiya Kaz

[Kaz] Dunno. I'm making it sew.

[Vicki] making what sew?

[Kaz] Percy knows.

[Kaz] (get him to tell me!)

[Vicki] lol

[Kaz] Okay,s eriously.

[Percy] Moirra, you could conceivably copy & paste Beth's stuff here like this: Listen the the words of the Great Father, Who of old was called Osiris, Adonis, Zeus, Thor, Pan, Cernunnos, Herne, Lugh and by many other names: "My Law is Harmony with all things. Mine is the secret that opens the gates of life And mine is the dish of salt of the earth That is the body of Cernunnos I give the knowledge of life everlasting, And beyond death I give the promise of regeneration and renewal. I am the sacrifice, the father of all things, And my protection blankets the earth." Hear the words of the dancing God, The music of whose laughter stirs the winds, Whose voice calls the seasons: "I who am the Lord of the Hunt and the Power of the Light, Sun among the clouds and the secret of the flame, I call upon your bodies to arise and come unto me. For I am the flesh of the earth and all it's beings. Through me all things must die and with me are reborn. Let my worship be in the body that sings, For behold all acts of willing sacrifice are my rituals. Let there be desire and fear, anger and weakness, Joy and peace, awe and longing within you. For these too are part of the mysteries found within yourself, within me, All beginnings have endings, and all endings have beginnings."

[Kaz] Between the dance and the song, and the peom

[Vicki] whoa

BiBo!! has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 20:27:31 EST 2007

[DM] Hey Marco

[Kaz] okay

[Vicki] hi bibo

[Kaz] Hiya Marco

[Percy] ::And when I say "Moirra", I mean "Kaz", of course.::

Kaz is receiving the map Base Map...

Kaz has received the map Base Map.

[Percy] Hey Bibo-

[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kaz] (but of course)

[Beth] Hiya, Marco

[BiBo!!] ::waves::

[BiBo!!] was just getting measured for a santa costume

[Percy] Marco, we are *seriously* role-playing the sacrifice of a song to the great Hunt.::

[BiBo!!] how do you sacrifice a song?

[Beth] yes, *seriously* ::grins::

[Vicki] (oh, this week, I rearranged and now i'm sitting in a reg. chair and am closer to my monitor :D)

[Beth] you give it in offering

[Percy] Kaz is preparing the recitation of a song/poem at midnight when the 2 moons are full for the Celtic priests

[Percy] So we can get help to find the Ki-rin.

[Percy] I am away from the keyboard.

[BiBo!!] what do the celts know about kirins?

[BiBo!!] kirins are oriental

[Kaz] Moirra is NOT singing. She can't sing. :) Singing is for Percival, who could have been a bard.

[Beth] Cernunnos is god of ALL horned creatures

[BiBo!!] yeah... paladins actually have a higher requirement for charisma than bards do

[BiBo!!] I will never understand that

[Beth] lol

[Arilyn] brb-gotta get a baby to bed

[Kaz] ok

[Arilyn] I am away from the keyboard.

[DM] the bard/paladin thing is based on leadership scores and henchmen/followers more than looks

[Kaz] Well, a group effort. Moirra can recite, with Percy on background vocals and Arilyn and Kira as back-up dancers

[DM] Ramone can find some Dancing girls

[Beth] ROFL we're a troupe now

[DM] I am sure that Kira wants to help him out with that

[BiBo!!] what do you mean find? I have a troupe of them working for me

[Kaz] Ramone can be a back-up dancer, too

Beth ::eyes DM::

[Kaz] Whatever we do has to come from US, not from people in our employ or following.

[Kaz] brb

[BiBo!!] one of which is a dryad, which cant hurt a celtic ritual I imagine

[Kaz] I am away from the keyboard.

[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.

[DM] how is the week there Marco?

[Kaz] sorry, back

[BiBo!!] not bad, warmed up a little. still cold but not rediculously so

[DM] I think you will not be warm again until May

[BiBo!!] yeah... probably not

[Vicki] (thanks bob for the obvious)

[Percy] I am back at the keyboard.

[BiBo!!] I can dance and play flute if it matters

[Beth] k, so Ramone plays flute, while Percy sings, Moirra chants the poem and Arilyn and I dance our little hearts out

[Kaz] That could work

[DM] which poem are you using

[DM] and then have each make their rolls

[DM] to add bonuses to Moirra's chances

[Percy] Sounds good, I guess.

[Kaz] using this one

[Kaz] Listen the the words of the Great Father, Who of old was called Osiris, Adonis, Zeus, Thor, Pan, Cernunnos, Herne, Lugh and by many other names: "My Law is Harmony with all things. Mine is the secret that opens the gates of life And mine is the dish of salt of the earth That is the body of Cernunnos I give the knowledge of life everlasting, And beyond death I give the promise of regeneration and renewal. I am the sacrifice, the father of all things, And my protection blankets the earth." Hear the words of the dancing God, The music of whose laughter stirs the winds, Whose voice calls the seasons: "I who am the Lord of the Hunt and the Power of the Light, Sun among the clouds and the secret of the flame, I call upon your bodies to arise and come unto me. For I am the flesh of the earth and all it's beings. Through me all things must die and with me are reborn. Let my worship be in the body that sings, For behold all acts of willing sacrifice are my rituals. Let there be desire and fear, anger and weakness, Joy and peace, awe and longing within you. For these too are part of the mysteries found within yourself, within me, All beginnings have endings, and all endings have beginnings."

[Beth] I don't have dancing as a skill

[BiBo!! (to GM only)] Character sheet for Ramone modified: Non-Weapon Proficiencies - ADDED: Musical Instrument (flute), Priest; Rogue, , 1, $ai, -1. Consumable Magic Items - CHANGED: Potion of Language Learning -- Inventory/Charges: 1 (3), Equipment - ADDED: Flute, , , .

[Percy] Percival: Singing check: (d20) [9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Beth] I am Gypsy... I AM dance

[BiBo!!] not if tou didnt take the dancing prof you arent :-P

[Percy] There you go. Make is so.

[Percy] Make *it* so.

[Beth] lol, it should be inherent in the genetic makeup

[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.

[BiBo!!] so you are the one gypsy that cant dance

[BiBo!!] Ramone: Dancing check: (d20) [15] 15 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[BiBo!!] Ramone: Musical Instrument (flute) check: (d20) [9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Moirra (Kaz) (to DM only)] what do I roll against (or for)?

[DM] ok, so I will roll for arylin

[DM] Arilyn: Dancing check: (d20) [5] 5 - ROLL FAILED against -1!!

[DM] that is not set up right

[Beth] I have 8 skills

[Moirra (Kaz)] I was gonna say... how can you expect to roll a -1? :-D

[Vicki] huh?

[Beth] all dealing with stealth and such

[BiBo!!] skills are different than proficiencies

[Beth] I have 6 proficiencies

[Vicki] after we get the kirin... what's left?

[DM] Arilyn: Dancing check: (d20) [1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Vicki] i forgot the third one

[Moirra (Kaz)] I've got a Reading/Writing proficiency, but nothing for Performing in any way.

[Percy] thank you, DM.

[BiBo!!] so why did we get ressurected from the one person who charges three quests per casting?

[Percy] You've got a lot of help, Kaz.

[Moirra (Kaz)] The resurrector only asked for one quest.

[Moirra (Kaz)] Yes, I have, you talented people, you!

[Beth] apparently I'm no help

[Percy] Just make whatever check Bob tells you to make. If you don't make it, we just head east and start asking around. No big whoop.

[DM] so now you make a willpower check Moirra

[DM] with a plus 5 for the help

[Moirra (Kaz)] You're a ton of help Kira. You make me feel confident.

[DM] and a minus 8 for the power of the hunt

[Beth] ::sighs::

[DM] so overall a minus 3

[Moirra (Kaz)] Moirra: WIL check: (d20) [10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

[Moirra (Kaz)] (was that the right one?)

[Beth] ((Gods, I hope so))

[Cernunnos] WHO CALLS MY NAME

Beth jumps "yipes!"

Percy this is all Kaz, guys.

[Beth] ::pushes Moirra out front and center::

Moirra (Kaz) goes to one knee and stutters for a second.

[Beth] I'm behind you all the way, girl

Percy silent, looking to Priestess Moirra.

Beth kneels behind Moirra

[Moirra (Kaz)] Lord Cernunnos.. I am Moirra of Roadhaven.

[Cernunnos] why do you call me child?

Percy thumbs up.

[Moirra (Kaz)] I seek your guidance, Lord, and your help, should you be willing to give either.

[Cernunnos] what are you searching for? what eveil needs defeating?

Percy remains silent. ignoring long list of evil that needs defeating...

[Moirra (Kaz)] The evil of pride is that which we deal with at this time...

Percy but thinking about evil dragons, evil liches, evil vampires, evil ghosts...

[Cernunnos] pulls a horn out and raises it

[Cernunnos] shall I blast it away

[Moirra (Kaz)] We seek to return a wayward child to her father, yet she refuses to go unless we gather for her specific items

[Cernunnos] who is full of pride here

Percy ...evil bugbears, evil trolls, evil spectres, evil hags..

Percy shakes head, clears head...

[Moirra (Kaz)] We seek to prevent a war with her return, but in her own pride, she has asked for what she believes to be the impossible.

[Cernunnos] all things are possible if you have faith

[Moirra (Kaz)] I do have faith, my Lord

Kira (Beth) nods behind Moirra's back

[Moirra (Kaz)] It is why we are here.

[Cernunnos] so you wish me to rid this child of pride

[Moirra (Kaz)] This child seeks the horn of a Kirin... perhaps a terrible request if made to the wrong person

[Cernunnos] I shal loose the hounds

[Moirra (Kaz)] No, please, my Lord

[Moirra (Kaz)] We seek the aid of a Kirin, if one would help us. I believe this child may be redeemed

Percy thinking "Kaz, we are in search of a Ki-rin who will accompany us for a brief time to see a girl who might otherwise cause a lot of trouble.

[Moirra (Kaz)] We seek to gain the help of a Kirin who will accompany us to her presence - temporarily. Not one to be slain, not one to be captured.

Client has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 20:55:19 EST 2007

[Moirra (Kaz)] We hope that, in Your wisdom, You will aid us in this quest so that the child may be redeemed.

Percy thinking "Kaz, we are on the *hunt* for a Ki-rin who will join us briefly to see a girl who might otherwise cause a lot of trouble."

[Cernunnos] I can convince a Kirin to visit you

[Cernunnos] at your home

Percy raises eyebrows

[Cernunnos] if it will agree to help you is your own doing

Percy thinking "yes, yes, yes, it is our own doing that we are in search of a ki-rin. we agreed to this."

[Moirra (Kaz)] My Lord Cernunnos, that is all we ask.

[Percy] I am away from the keyboard.

[Moirra (Kaz)] Will all of my heart, I thank you for this boon.

Client has left the game on Fri Nov 30 21:00:33 EST 2007

[Cernunnos] then it shal happen at noon tomorow

[Cernunnos]

[Kira (Beth)] ((am I correct in assuming that 'home' will be Roadhaven?))

[Cernunnos] and he disapears into the moonlight of the grove

[Cernunnos] and yes

[Kira (Beth)] ((then we need to get hoofing, lol))

Moirra (Kaz) takes several deep breaths

Kira (Beth) leaps up and HUGS Morra

Moirra (Kaz) leans on Kira, shaking.

[Kira (Beth)] You did it, girl!

[Moirra (Kaz)] We did. He came for all of us, not for me.

[BiBo!!] Well... we arent done yet. still have to convince the kirin to come with us

[Kira (Beth)] eh, he came cuz you were strong enough to call him

[Percy] I am back at the keyboard.

[Arilyn] I am back at the keyboard.

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] This only got us a meeting with the kirin

[Kira (Beth)] it's a start thos

[Percy] *Home* should be wherever Moirra is.

[Arilyn] one kid down, 3 to go

[Moirra (Kaz)] Only because all of you leant me strength. Now let's get home and figure out how to entertain a Kirin.

[DM] blink

[Kira (Beth)] anyone have access to pure dew?

[DM] Time of Day: 09:00 AM. Day 1 Trall, Spe {Early Fall} 1st, 1259.

[DM] Time of Day: 10:00 AM. Day 1 Trall, Spe {Early Fall} 1st, 1259.

[DM] Time of Day: 11:00 AM. Day 1 Trall, Spe {Early Fall} 1st, 1259.

[DM] Time of Day: 12:00 PM. Day 1 Trall, Spe {Early Fall} 1st, 1259.

[DM] Time of Day: 12:00 PM. Day 2 Trall ___ de, Spe {Early Fall} 2nd, 1259.

[DM] and so

[DM] grins

[DM] what is the pure dew for?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] eating

[Moirra (Kaz)] Kirin's gotta drink something

[Kira (Beth)] If I recall correctly it's the only thing they 'eat'

[Kira (Beth)] morning dew

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] they are immortal, they dont need to eat :)

[Moirra (Kaz)] No, they don't need to. But it's courteous to offer something.

[DM] ok, so tell me when you are ready for Noon

[Percy] You can't tell me it will be more difficult to get a Lawful Good Ki-rin to accompany us to see some spoiled little girl than it is to call on a deity to compel them to our presence.

[Percy] We're ready, DM.

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] sure we can, and it just may

[Percy] If not, we just head out west to find it again. We've already made our sacrifice.

[Percy] Ding!!!!

[Percy] What is that? Oh, it's the 12PM ding.

[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Kira and Moirra spent the early morn outside, gathering dew)

[DM] ok so at noon

Percy spent most of the morning praying and the evening fasting.

[Moirra (Kaz)] ((you'll be glad to know that Moirra only tripped and fell into the stream once))

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] ::runs down to the vending machine outside to get a can of Kirin beer::

[Kira (Beth)] ROFL

Percy gathering the last of the gifts for the Ki-rin.

[Arilyn] i'll spend a.m. thinking of vanquishing evil

[Percy] Yeah, Baby!

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] yes, there is a beer vending machine outside my school and yes they do sell kirin beer

[Kirin] and a golden light decends towards the central garden in Roadhaven

Percy Paladin bows before such power and goodness.

Kira (Beth) is awestruck

[Arilyn] cool...

[Kira (Beth)] such beauty

[Kirin] birds singing

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] :: isnt impressed due to lack of nudity and females ::

[Kirin] bells rining

[Kirin] ringing

[Arilyn] i feel just like Cinderella

Percy Paladin kneeling

[Arilyn] I am away from the keyboard.

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] that mean you are gonna start cleaning for us?

[Kirin] Moirra the just has called upon me

Kira (Beth) nudges Moirra forward

Moirra (Kaz) moves forward a step, trips, and falls to her knees.

Percy Paladin looks up slightly to behold the magical mystical creature.

Kira (Beth) helps Moirra up

[Moirra (Kaz)] Oh, my. Oh.

[Percy] "Moirra the Just is here, dear Ki-rin."

[Arilyn] I am back at the keyboard.

[Percy] ::pointing::

[Moirra (Kaz)] My apologies, glorious Ki-rin.

Percy Paladin rises.

Kira (Beth) still awestruck

[Rui] my name is Rui

[Arilyn] we are honored to meet you

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] :: is amused that everyone seems more in awe with a kirin than a god ::

[Moirra (Kaz)] Thank you, we all thank you for coming here to hear us, Rui.

[Moirra (Kaz)] ((A god is just a god. But a Ki-rin is...oooooh))

[Percy] "Our dear Moirra has asked for your help so that we may fulfill a quest."

[Rui] (when someone asks if you are a god..... )

[Kira (Beth)] ::at Ramone:: ssht! he's beautiful!

[Moirra (Kaz)] We are on a quest that has caused us certain consternation.

[Percy] "There is a certain young lady that has asked us to bring you into her presence."

[Percy] "Your presence can help a country avoid war."

[Percy] "You can understand that we really want that, Rui."

[Arilyn] we want to avoid war

[Percy] "I am Percival, a Paladin."

[Percy] "Lawful good, just and true."

[Percy] "Please accompany us to this girl and then be on your way."

[Rui] why should this young lady deserve my audience?

[Rui] what what has she done to earn your respect?

[Percy] "That is a great question."

[Moirra (Kaz)] It is not for her respect, but that of her father.

[Percy] "She has done nothing to earn our respect. Quite the opposite."

[Kira (Beth)] She has not, Rui. therein lies the rub.

[Moirra (Kaz)] He has asked us to bring his wayward child home.

[Moirra (Kaz)] She will not allow us to accompany her home unless we "prove our worth", so to speak.

[Percy] "Her father wants us to bring her back to him without shedding blood and before she will come with us, she needs to see a Ki-rin."

[Kira (Beth)] She actually requires your horn. Not you. We cannot and will not do that

[Kira (Beth)] she is quite wayward, and must be taught respect

[Moirra (Kaz)] She is a prideful young thing, Rui. But she is young and can mend her ways.

Kas has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 21:17:38 EST 2007

[Percy] "Um, when Rui appears, with its horn intact, that will suffice the requirement. Rui will be on its way and we will embark on the 3rd quest."

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] ::begins to wonder why we dont just take the girl back by force, give a spoiled brat what they want and they ask for more::

[Percy] "She may want to touch your horn, Rui."

Kas is receiving the map Base Map...

Kas has received the map Base Map.

[Arilyn] we hope to get her home without anyone or coming to harm

[Percy] "But suffice it to say, that I will not allow any harm to come to you, as if any mere mortals could bring you harm, anyway."

[Rui] I will visit this girl

[Arilyn] ::I've wondered that myself Bibo::

[Percy] "Thank you, Rui."

[Moirra (Kaz)] ((because the guardian couldn't allow that))

[Percy] let's go. this has taken 2 & 1/2 hours.

[Rui] the boon I ask of you is to give me a new pillow, one of the finest silks

[Percy] "Certainly, Rui."

[Percy] "We may even already have on waiting for you."

[Moirra (Kaz)] ((if it is waiting, it is not new))

[Arilyn] do you have a preference of color or size?

[Rui] the color of the morning sky

[Percy] ::as part of all the sacrifices, or did you only collect *dew*?:

Kas has left the game on Fri Nov 30 21:20:57 EST 2007

[Percy] "Okay, that may be a little more difficult. Do they even make those?"

[Moirra (Kaz)] I will undertake to make it myself, if need be.

[Kira (Beth)] The morning sky has many colors, Great One.

[Percy] sounds good. let's go.

[Rui] I will visit your girl now

[Rui] BLINK

[Rui] and then a few moments later

[Rui] BLINK

[Percy] gotta love it, baby!!!!

[Rui] and Rui is back

[Percy] uh, what just happened?

[Rui] so your child was terrified

[Percy] ::ROFL::

[Rui] but she acknowledged my presense quickly

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] ((you do realize they dont have silk here right?))

[Kira (Beth)] ::smiles:: thank you, Rui

[Percy] (It will be another *quest*, dear BiBo!)

[Moirra (Kaz)] Rui, thank you. How will we make known to you that your pillow is ready for you?

[Percy] "Thank you, dear Ki-rin. You are too gracious, Rui."

[Percy] "We will undertake your quest as soon as it is possible."

[Arilyn] you have been very kind to us. Thank you.

[Rui] lowers her head and a small golden gong appears next to her hoof

[Percy] "You understand we have to fulfill other sundry obligations in the pursuit of peace."

[Rui] ring this and I will return to retrieve the pillow

[Percy] "Yes. We will do thusly."

[Kira (Beth)] ((um... DM only male kirin have horns

Percy bowing.

[Kira (Beth)] ((her = his?))

[Rui] (sorry, mis-typed that, shoudl be his, there has never been a female Kirin sighting)

Moirra (Kaz) bows to Rui, graditude and wonder etched on her face.

[Percy] (has *somebody* been reading the MM?)

[Kira (Beth)] ((MM?))

[Percy] ::chuckles::

[Arilyn] and if we may ever be of service to you, please consider us as friend.

[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Monster Manual))

Kas has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 21:26:02 EST 2007

[Kira (Beth)] ((oh, lol))

Moirra (Kaz) smiles sweetly and nods her agreement with Arilyn.

[Rui] welcoem back again Kas

[Arilyn] it would be an honor to be of aid

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] ::still thinks we should kidnap the princess.... maybe give her a good beating too::

[DM] and in a glow that ascends to the sky

[DM] and blurs out

Kas is receiving the map Base Map...

Kas has received the map Base Map.

[Arilyn] is there a way I can read a spell description?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] :: and the parents for raising her ::

[Moirra (Kaz)] ((Okay, as Kaz, I totally agree with you. As Moirra - horrified at the beating part.))

[DM] nods

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] yeah

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] click on view -> descriptions

[Kira (Beth)] um... Kas? Kaz?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] you can type in anything in there thats in the description file, spells, profs, and a few other things

[DM] two different people

[Percy] ::happiness is just a purchase away::

[Percy] ::here's something that is automatic::

[Kira (Beth)] lol, was confused for a sec :) hiya, Kas

[Percy] ::when life has lost all its magic::

[Percy] Excellent. Good job, Kaz!!!

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] find it alright christy?

[Arilyn] yes, thank you

[Percy] Okay. I guess we need to file the pillow task away and go for the 3rd task of whats-her-name.

[Moirra (Kaz)] ((it wasn't all me... you guys are great!))

[Percy] If I don't kill her first.

[Percy] ::chuckles::

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] thats an idea. kill her and have the father raise her

[Kira (Beth)] get in line lol

[DM] very good job by everyone, I am enterin gthe XP now

[DM] as you plot and plan how to tackle this last one

[Arilyn] that girl is one huge pain in the butt

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] he obviously can

[Percy] Yeah, what's that last one, Bob?

[Moirra (Kaz)] The trident

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] some trident right?

[Percy] ::wax ecstatic::

[Moirra (Kaz)] No one knows where it is

[Percy] ::wax ecstatic::

[Percy] ::wax ecstatic::

[Percy] ::wax ecstatic::

[Percy] ::wax ecstatic::

[Percy] ::wax ecstatic::

[DM] the Trident of Nethun that has been lost for 60 years,

[Percy] ::wax ecstatic::

[Percy] ::wax ecstatic::

[DM] last was seen in Wingstone

[Percy] Right. The Trident of Nethun...

Kas has left the game on Fri Nov 30 21:30:45 EST 2007

[Percy] Let's go to Wingstone. It's been years since I've had a character at Wingstone. I think....

[Percy] I am away from the keyboard.

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] so what, we head to wingstone and say, hey have you seen a trident laying about?

[Kaz] lol Marco

[DM] remember the earl of wingstone

[DM] pays a bounty for every elf scalp brought in

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] how much?

[Kira (Beth)] oops... not a good place for Arilyn

[DM] grins

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] or is it dependent on the importance of the elf?

[DM] standard 5 Gp per

[Kira (Beth)] can Ramone or Mal put a glamour on her?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] pfft. I wont even get out of bed for less than 1,000

[DM] this is home to the Greek Paladin order

[Kira (Beth)] so she doesn't look elfin?

[DM] hmmm, Kira must have a lot of money then

[DM] to get you hopping after her like that

[Kira (Beth)] ROFL

[Kira (Beth)] yeah, right

[Arilyn] i happen to think my scalp is just peachy where it is

[Percy] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kira (Beth)] he's always hopping after the bawdy girls in the taverns

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] well, I can maintain an illusion, but if I lose my concentration its gone, its not something you can do for extended periods of time

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] same with most disguise spells

[Percy] Come on, Bob. How long are you going to play that Earl of Wingstone hating elves thing?

[Kira (Beth)] hhmmm... we need to figure something else out then

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] only "good" option is polymorphing

[Percy] Isn't he *dead* by now?

[Arilyn] and Ramone can lose his concentration with the swish of a skirt

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] darn tootin

[Kira (Beth)] exactly

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] and polymorphing has its own issues, not the least of which being the chance of death

[DM] ok, XPO is updated

[Arilyn] not too keen on he death thing

[Percy] Okay, okay, okay. DM has reminded us about the elf thing in Wingstone.

[DM] actually yes to Hans, this is his Son

[Arilyn] why were we going to Wingstone anyway?

[DM] and the old Duke was not this fanatical

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] thats where the trident is

[Percy] The Trident was last seen here....

[Arilyn] ahh, missed that part

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] it is probably easiest to disguise the elf

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] or leave her behind

Kas has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 21:36:42 EST 2007

[Arilyn] hat?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] I have the disguise prof

Kas is receiving the map Base Map...

Kas has received the map Base Map.

[DM] the information on the Paladins of Athena

[DM] Warriors of Athena The Warriors of Athena are an order of Paladins that are based in Wingstone. They are lead by the Vicar General who is the equivalent of a Cardinal. The code of the Warriors is: * All Paladins must be chaste & celibate * Fealty to Athena (not the Vicar General) * Courtesy, Honesty, Valor, Honor * Follow the edicts of Athena * Must renounce all family edicts The Vicar General is selected by all of the Cardinals in Terraguard and must posses or be: * Lawful Good * Must worship Athena * May be Male or Female * Does not have to be a Paladin (does not have to follow rules above) * Must be a warrior or priest, no rangers. The Warriors of Athena have an “attached” Bishop who answers to the Vicar General, but is assigned by the Cardinals of Athena, joint selection not only the Cardinal of Wingstone. The official title is “Bishop of Athena, Attached to the Warriors of Athena. The Bishop has a small staff of attendant worshippers of Athena, of various rankings.

[Percy] Of *course* you do, BiBo.

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] can probably manage some makeup and a hood or something, pin the ears back

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

[DM] for your resident Paladin

[Percy] Am *I* a paladin of Athena?

[DM] no

[Arilyn] can I teleport out if I get made?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] dunno, you tell me

[DM] you could try Arilyn

[DM] if you can cast the spell

[Kaz] You can't be, I thought you followed a Norse god.

[Arilyn] do we know of any reason why there would be no teleporting out?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] nope

[Arilyn] can we keep our weapons?

[DM] the Paladins of Athena are well known, one of only two Paladin orders in the Western World

[Percy] Like I remember. I wanted to be a monotheistic paladin but they don't allow those anymore... This other nonsense is so difficult to keep up with...

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] as soon as you hear someone shouting about elves, teleport. if there is a fight, teleport

[Percy] Teleport is good.

[DM] the spell is only verbal right?

[Arilyn] i could also fly out

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] yeah

[Arilyn] my sword teleports

[DM] ahh

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] which probably requires a command word

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] so verbal

[DM] then you just have to speak the command word

[Arilyn] she's intelligent

[DM] grins

[Percy] thought, baby.

[Percy] *connection* and all that

[Arilyn] she knows when we need to get out

[DM] is the sword telepathic?

[Percy] they are linked.

[DM] if not you need to speak

[Percy] isn't it?

[Percy] You mean the sword has a *mouth* on it?

[DM] linked does not mean telepathis

[DM] is speaks

[DM] like a magic mouth

[Percy] It speaks through exactly what?

[DM] just a voice in the air near it

[Percy] right.

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] if the sword is intelligent, can arilyn give it a condition to teleport automatically?

[DM] no actual mouth

Kas has left the game on Fri Nov 30 21:40:51 EST 2007

[DM] yes

[Percy] Then it's obviously not *verbal*, then, is it?

[DM] but it has to be pretty specif

[DM] she has to tell it what and when

[Percy] K

[DM] adn then will have to speak to it again to cancel it

[DM] or change

[DM] etc

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] okay, then have the sword teleport if someone outside of the group recognizes her as an elf

[Arilyn] like if I'm about to get scalped?

[Percy] You are *so* smart BiBo.

[Percy] ::chuckles::

[DM] hmmm, how would the sword know that?

[DM] and even if it did

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] when they shout elf

[Percy] How does the sword *know* anything?

[DM] she might be teleporting out very quickly

[Arilyn] help, i'm about to be scalped...

[Percy] Does it have eyes, too?

[DM] before anyone actually does anything

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] basically whenever arilyn would know, I would imagine the sword would know too

[DM] think of it like a magic mouth trigger

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] thats fine

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] better safe than sorry

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] rather a false trigger than no trigger at all

[Arilyn] i can wait in Roadhaven if you like

[Kira (Beth)] precisely

[DM] so how ever you want to word it Arilyn

[Percy] Did you ever roll for the intelligence of the sword, Christy?

[Kira (Beth)] we don't want to exclude you, but we don't want to risk losing you, either

[Percy] Or, Bob, do you know the Int of Elaris?

[Kaz] I have to go get Guy

[Kira (Beth)] k

[DM] off the top of my head no

[Percy] Bye, Kaz!

[Kaz] I'll just afk for now

[Percy] Good job!

[DM] ok

[Kaz] Thanks, you too Hans :)

[Arilyn] i don't have the int in my notes

[Kaz] If you're all gone when I get back, then Have a great night and weekend!

[Percy] I'm just saying, the Int of the sword would determine its capabilities.

[Kaz] Otherwise, see you in a bit.

[Kaz] I am away from the keyboard.

[Arilyn] bye!

[DM] Elaris - Created by great elven archmages during a time of war against some unspeakable evil (unless you ask her about it, she'll go on forever), Elaris was lost to history when the great elven heroine, Sarallyllyllylly, fell to orcish hordes. It was thought destroyed. Elaris is a Longsword +2 with a chaotic good alignment and an ego of 11. She is able to communicate in speech in both elven and western common (something she does a lot if given the chance). She was forged with the special purpose of destroying evil, and when she strikes anything of evil alignment, the victim must save vs spell or be affected with confusion for 2d6 rounds. When the sword is unsheathed and held aloft, the wielder can detect invisibility within a 10' radius. The wielder can also teleport once a day, carrying a maximum of 600 pounds of weight.

[Percy] Ego of 11, huh?

Kas has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 21:45:27 EST 2007

[Arilyn] yep, that's what I have

Kas is receiving the map Base Map...

Kas has received the map Base Map.

[Percy] That's a factor of Int & something else, isn't it?

[DM] adn the plusses of the weapon

[DM] and special powers

Vicki has left the game on Fri Nov 30 21:46:26 EST 2007

[DM] so the intelligence is low

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] yeah, something like 6 as I recall

Vicki has joined the game on Fri Nov 30 21:48:05 EST 2007

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] pretty sure thats what it was when I made it anyway

[Percy] Here's a sword of 18 ego: This mysterious black onyx obsidian blade has mithril inlaid along the blade and is rune carved. It also has a black diamond pommel. The sheath and baldric are made of black dragon skin with mithril tooling and stitching. The black blade is a longsword +2. It has an intelligence of 17, ego of 18, and is Chaotic Neutral in alignment. Upon the killing stroke, the wielder will temporarily gain the number of hit points of the killed creature. If the creature is humanoid or human the wielder will also gain the levels/hit dice of said person. This will last for a number of turns the creature has levels or hit dice. If the sword does not kill in three days, its ego will rise one point a day until it controls the wielder and makes him kill. This can also occur if in battle the wielder looses enough hit points to lose control. The black blade act as a dancing sword and also heals 1 point per day. It can detect traps, secret doors, and evil. It talks telepathically and can speak dwarvish, black dragon, stone golem, orc, and of course common. The sword also confers 85% magic resistance on its wielder. The voice it speaks in is a deep ominous crackling tone.

[DM] so

Vicki is receiving the map Base Map...

Vicki has received the map Base Map.

[Percy] 18 ego has Int of 17, is +2 and has a couple of special abilities.

[Percy] 85% mag res upon wielder. Hmmmm, that's a good one, eh?

[DM] chuckles

[DM] and seems to not follow the rules

[DM] but in any case

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] yeah that was a premade sword, the one arylin has I made using the random charts for intelligent swords. at most it has an intelligence of 8. pretty sure it is around 6

[Arilyn] okay, whatever. here I thought I had a great sword. point out how not-smart she is.

[DM] chuckles, she is a great sword

[Percy] Still a great sword...

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] well, for a sword, he is pretty damn smart

[DM] has done you very well

[Arilyn] yes, she has

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] so disguise then?

[Percy] Sure.

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] and keep your sword hidden as it is likely covered in elven whatsits that might raise suspicion

[Percy] Sure.

[Percy] This is going to a very cranky paladin soon. Let's go find the trident.

[Arilyn] i can say I took her off a dead elf

[Percy] That's a thing of beauty.

[Percy] And *then* you can kick their ass.

[Percy] ::chuckles::

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] yeah, but then you have to talk to people, and you dont want to do that

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] anything that keeps peoples attention away from you, the better

[DM] so entering wingstone

[Arilyn] sure, let's go. so what are you dressing me up as?

[Kira (Beth)] elven voices are pretty melodius and distinctive

[DM] Rui moved 27'01".

[DM] Duke of Votral moved 14'00".

[DM] Kira moved 126'04".

[DM] Arilyn moved 128'00".

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] a female adventurer, so you fit in with the group, but arent an elf. human

[DM] Percival moved 160'11".

[DM] Ramone moved 149'04".

[DM] Moirra moved 193'03".

[DM] Rui moved 13'03".

[Percy] Percival: FIT check: (d20) [16] 16 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[DM] so where are you going? the Earl's seat?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] rather go to his face

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] its more talkative

[DM] sighs

[Arilyn] why do we need to talk to him? can't we get info elsewhere?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] does the group know anyone in wingstone other than the earl?

[DM] was thinking that you were countingon the paladins helping you

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] alright, then we go to the paladins then

[Arilyn] yeah, can our paladin visit the local paladins for info

[DM] which is where the Earl has his seat

[Arilyn] ah

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] he sits on paladins?

[Kira (Beth)] heh

[Arilyn] those poor paladins

[Arilyn] i think we're being set up

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] do we get paladin seats too when we visit?

Kas has left the game on Fri Nov 30 22:00:57 EST 2007

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] so, march I guess. figuratively speaking that is

[Arilyn] I think someone's going to recognize me

[Kira (Beth)] I'm quite certain we're being set up, but that's Bob's world

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] probably, but we will deal with that when we get to it

[Arilyn] well, let's get on with it

[Arilyn] Hans is getting some ice cream but will be back in a minute

[DM] ok

[DM] so you blip into Wingstone,

[DM] and are near the entrance to the town

[Percy] Trying to finish the rest of the pecan pie from Thanksgiving!

[DM] there are soem roving patrol

[Percy] I'm doing my duty!

[DM] and a tavern on the outskirts of town

[DM] and then further in

[DM] a guard post that is the entrance to the Earl's lands

[DM] and obviously where the Paladin's order is

[DM] you can see several large white marble buildings

[DM] the temple to Athena

[DM] the paladins housing

[Percy] Bob, just because *their* paladins might hate elves doesn't mean I have to hate elves as well.

[DM] adn the earl's housing, which is not in marble

[Percy] I'm a more tolerant paladin.

[DM] chuckles, nods,

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] no one said you had to :-P

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] you arent a wingstonian paladin

[Percy] And paladins aren't going to be that subject to the political whims of the day...

[Vicki] not sure percy the paladin could hate arilyn the elf

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] I wouldnt call this a whim of the day, it has been standing for a while

[Percy] They're more loyal to Athena than Wingstone.

[DM] so visiting the tavern first?

[DM] or?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] they abide by the local laws. the wingstone paladins probably believe elves are evil because they were raise in wingstone where everyone thinks elves are evil.

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] just like you believe orcs are all evil

[Percy] Then they wouldn[t be paladins of Athena.

[Arilyn] not counting Shrek

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] shreks an ogre

[Arilyn] oh, that's right

[Arilyn] don't really keep up with that much

[Percy] But we'll see what Bob gives us, eh?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] laws are made by people, not gods, and people who are lawful, follow laws, no matter how strange they may be to others.

[Percy] (Um, all orcs *are* evil, but that has nothing to do with Inverness or Wingstone or Halstatt or wherever)

Barkeep wiping the bar looking at the group that walks in

[Percy] Paladins are *Lawful Good*

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] ::is luckily not lawful::

[Barkeep] strangers in town

[Barkeep] what brings you to these parts

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] breaking the law to do good is what a chaotic good person would do

[Barkeep] Time of Day: 12:00 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Spe {Early Fall} 3rd, 1259.

[Percy] "Good barkeep,"

[Arilyn] ::i will keep quiet::

[Kira (Beth)] ::is also luckily not 'lawful'::

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Ladies. Got any?"

[Percy] "Thank you for your service."

[Barkeep] why would I want to polute my bar with ladies

[Percy] (my kids keep asking "what's so funny?!")

[Barkeep] we have some perfectly servicalbe wenches out back

[Kira (Beth)] ROFL

[Percy] (because I keep laughing so loudly)

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Even better!"

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Point the way."

[Kira (Beth)] ::rolls eyes at Ramone::

[Percy] "My friends require sustenance."

[Barkeep] 15 silver

[Barkeep] up front

[Arilyn] ::me too::

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Per wench?"

[Barkeep] per person going back

[Arilyn] ::eyes rolling again::

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Ohh... even better."

[Barkeep] for one turn of the hour glass

[Kira (Beth)] ::smirks::

[Barkeep] jerks a thumb at a medium sized hour glass of red sand

[Kira (Beth)] Best be quick, Ramone

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Oh, give me two hours then."

[Barkeep] two turns?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] nods

[Barkeep] holds out a hand for the money

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] ::whispers to the kira:: wenches are the world's best source for information. I am off to get me some.

[Barkeep] it chimes when it is finished he says

[Percy] (and this is on the outskirts of Wingstone? My, what a good influence there is here. You know, Bob, I'm going to call you on this later when you try to do something silly to us.)

[Barkeep] grins at Hans

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] ::hands over some money::

[Kira (Beth)] ::smirks:: yeah, uh huh

[Percy] The rest of us eat and drink

[Barkeep] watches Ramone go tot he back room

[Barkeep] turns over the hourglass

[Percy] "Where is Ramone?"

[Barkeep] looks at the group

[Barkeep] ladies

[Barkeep] if you shake it

[Barkeep] it goes faster

[Barkeep] sets it on the bar

[Kira (Beth)] ::snickers::

[Percy] "The rest of us eat and drink and Ramone *must* be hungry by now!"

[Kira (Beth)] naw, let him have his fun. He's easier to get along with that way

[Percy] "Why does he not join us?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] ::has fun with the wenches and sees what info about the local area he can get, rumors and whatnot. see if any loose lips mentioned anything interesting::

Percy singing victory chant over dinner.

[Percy] Percival: Singing check: (d20) [3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Percy] "Now that's what I'm talking about!"

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] ::passes around some golds to anyone who feels talkative::

[Barkeep (to BiBo!! only)] nothing towards your quest but you know that there was a large battle that cost the lives of 4 paladins last month, the squad just returned two days ago

[Percy] "Good food, good eats, good God, let's eat!"

[Ramone (BiBo!!) (to DM only)] any idea what the battle was with?

[Barkeep (to BiBo!! only)] the Earl was not happy, and is looking for a reason to take it out on someone

[Barkeep (to BiBo!! only)] a tribe of hill giants

[Kira (Beth)] heh, that was my great grandfather's dinner blessing at T-day

[Ramone (BiBo!!) (to DM only)] were the hill giants killed? and where are they if they werent

Arilyn is receiving the map Base Map...

Arilyn has received the map Base Map.

[Barkeep (to BiBo!! only)] some where but not all

[Percy] After eating and singing and fellowshipping with the group, it is time to call it a night.

[Ramone (BiBo!!) (to DM only)] I am guessing the leader is among the not all. they have any idea where the hill giants would be?

[Barkeep (to BiBo!! only)] in the hills to the east

[Barkeep] so the hour glass goes DING

[Barkeep] adn the bar keep turns it over

[Barkeep] adn starts it again

[Barkeep] Time of Day: 01:00 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Spe {Early Fall} 3rd, 1259.

[Barkeep] Time of Day: 02:00 PM. Day 3 Lad ___ de, Spe {Early Fall} 3rd, 1259.

[Barkeep] and DING

[Barkeep] again

[Percy] "Let's go see the Earl of Wingstone."

[Barkeep] and Ramone is pushed back through the door by a couple of large strong men

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Lets not."

[Percy] "And the paladins, too"

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "I have a better idea."

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "How do you feel about killing some hill giants?"

[Percy] "Have you found the object for which we seek?"

Kira (Beth) looks up at Ramone

[Percy] "That sounds great, Ramone!"

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Not at all, but seeing the Earl would be maybe to our detriment right now."

[Percy] "I didn't know we could have this much fortune!"

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "If we kill us some hill giants, that could change."

[Percy] "We knew you would find a way for us. Good job, Mage!"

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Seems a handful of paladins were killed by some local hill giants and the earl is pissed."

[Percy] "Let's go avenge my brothers!"

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "If we bring back the head of the leader, with the others slain, I am sure the earl will be more helpful."

[Arilyn] ::oh great::

[Kira (Beth)] I had a feeling it would go this way lol

[Percy] "We will do this, Ramone. Thank you for the plan!"

[Percy] let's go.

[Kira (Beth)] and, I hate to say it, but I'm just about done in for the night

[Barkeep] just a word of caution, you might want to talk tot he Paladins first?

[Barkeep] night Beth,

[Barkeep] feel better

[Percy] We can at least get started. It will take us some time anyway.

[Percy] Good night, Beth!

[BOB's Laptop] take care, Rhiemma

[Arilyn] night Beth!

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] We can get some info on the exact location, numbers and tactics from the paladins I suppose.

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] night beth

[Kira (Beth)] good night, all. Been a bit of a rough week, but I'm hoping it gets better soon :)

[Percy] I don't know that we'll be rolling initiative anytime soon.

[Percy] Do I need to shave my head yet, Beth?

[Guard] nah, not likely any combat tonight,

[Kira (Beth)] and I agree about talking to the other paladin's first

[Guard] at least in the last 20 minutes

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] all I know is they are somewhere in the hills nearby

[Kira (Beth)] Not yet, Percy :)

[Guard] if the convseation with teh paladins goes that badly

[Kira (Beth)] still have my hair

[Guard] we can have the battle next week

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] well, thats good :)

[Guard] so walking through the town

Beth has left the game on Fri Nov 30 22:22:51 EST 2007

[Guard] you come up to the guard gates that lead to the Earl's private area

Guard looking you up and down then addressing Percy

[Guard] who calls upon the Earl of Wingstone

[Guard] and how can I help Sir

[Percy] Um.

[Percy] "Yes, good Guard."

[Percy] "We are here to make an important inquiry of the paladins of Wingstone and the Earl himself."

[Guard] and you are good sir?

[Percy] "I am a paladin. Percival."

[Guard] and these are your servants?

[Percy] "Norse."

[Percy] "This is the party of the Dragonslayers. Perhaps you've heard of their fame and deeds throughout the lands?"

[Guard] he stiffens

[Arilyn] ::uh-oh::

[Guard] there are tales of the Dragonslayers here

[Percy] "It is with humility once again that we visit the Earl of Wingstone."

[Percy] ::um, is there something more we should know and/or remember, DM?::

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "We have come to hunt hill giants, who would we talk to about getting information about that?

[Percy] "Yes, we have not killed enough hill giants to this point in our adventuring career."

[Guard] (the dragonslayers have been here several times, for both good and bad, remember John had a character from this church even, but you have no Greek people with you now)

[Guard] perhaps you shoudl speak with someone

[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kaz] Wow, you're still going?

[Percy] "Are we not speaking with someone now??"

[Guard] I will have you brought to one of the Knights on duty

[Percy] "Thank you, good Guard."

[Guard] and he calls over to another young boy

[Guard] and sends him scurrying off to the stables area

[Percy] Percival: (1d10) [7] 7

[Percy] *7*. Excellent.

[Percy] Um, DM, I just noticed that I leveled up. Do I need to do anything special to get my 8th level? I just rolled for HP just now and got a 7...

[Guard] then a short time later

[Percy] K

[Guard] a young knight comes striding across the yard

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] thaco goes up 1

[Percy] I know there's *something* I've got to do. I just wanted to get the rolling part out of the way...

[Pelinor] Hello there sir Knight

[Percy] "Hello, good knight."

[Pelinor] (we can check for that Hans)

[Pelinor] I am Sir Pelinor

[Percy] "I am Percival."

[Percy] "And I am in search of justice."

[Percy] "I've heard about the ill that has befallen some of our comrades."

[Percy] "And I want to make it right."

[Pelinor] as all should who want to be in the holy light of their god

Pelinor walking along towards the stables

[Percy] (away from us?)

[Pelinor] (apparently presuming you will walk with him)

Percy following impudent youth

[Pelinor] we had a grand skirmish

[Percy] "Yes"

[Pelinor] our horses SMASHED into their lines

Percy nodding sagely

Pelinor pounding fist into a palm

Percy stops

[Pelinor] but the evil brutes were strong as trees

Percy draws breath

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] ::somehow doesnt think it was the horses doing the smashing::

[Pelinor] and we were not able to feel them all

[Percy] "I don't understand that."

[Pelinor] then a foul witch cast some glamour upon us

[Percy] "A-ha"

[Pelinor] likely an evil elven trick

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Was she an elf?"

[Arilyn] ::should I say uh-oh again?::

[Pelinor] to cause our men to loose hope

[Percy] "We have a guard against that."

[Percy] "Did you *see* an elf?"

[Pelinor] no

[Pelinor] the tree were too thick

[Pelinor] the giants too close

[Pelinor] but we slew several that day

[Percy] "Well that would be unwise to accuse one that you cannot even see, am I right?"

[Pelinor] only an elf would hide in the trees

[Pelinor] shoot out rather than face in open combat

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Hes right, only elves hide in trees."

[Percy] "But you cannot accuse someone that you do not witness doing some evil."

[Arilyn] ::biting my tongue and making a note to slap Ramone later::

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Thats not the important part, the important thing is the giants. Where did you say you fought them?"

[Percy] "Do not listen to him. He is only very intelligent. He is not wise, Sir Pelinor."

[Pelinor] we fought them in the hills near maftarn

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "How many were there?"

[Pelinor] (you can clickon teh Load the Map idcon to see that county layout)

BiBo!! is receiving the map Southeast Terraguard...

BiBo!! has received the map Southeast Terraguard.

[Percy] "Sir Pelinor, I would only leave you with this. If you do not *see* the person that is doing you harm, then reason states that *everyone* you did not see could possibly be guilty of the attack."

[Pelinor] Maftarn is #37

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] you know... this would be a lot more useful with some sort of translation to those numbers

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

[Percy] "And to say that *everyone* you did *not* see is guilty is not saying much."

[Pelinor] grins

[Pelinor] claps Percy on the back, I knew you would agree

[Pelinor] it is not saying much to say an evil elf was the problem

[Pelinor] everyone knows such things

[Pelinor] no need to say it at all

[Pelinor] good of you to remind me Sir Percy

[Arilyn] ::biting tongue again::

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Indeed, actions speak louder than words. Is there anything else you can tell us about the evil elven witch and her giant minions?"

[Percy] "Well, dear Pelinor, I would need you to make a list of *everybody* you did not see at the time of the attack. And only then can we get a reasonable list of who the perpetrators could possibly be."

[Pelinor] so why do you want to hunt these giants?

[Percy] "I fear I must be in that list, and I will not automatically rule myself out in all fairness."

[Pelinor] and I do want to hear of your own exploits

[Pelinor] he looks at you

[Pelinor] how could you cast a spell

[Percy] "We want justice for the fallen."

[Pelinor] you are not a witch

[Vicki] ((night night, i'm dead tired again... getting too old to run on less than 8 hours of sleep *giggles* i never could go on less than 8 hours))

[Kaz] night, old lady

Vicki has left the game on Fri Nov 30 22:41:53 EST 2007

[Arilyn] night Vicki

[Kaz] And finally I catch up to y'all

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "They are evil, is that not enough? Though while your talking about compensation...."

[Pelinor] you are not a low hege wizard of ill repute

[Percy] "No, I am not a witch. But I'm just saying that anyone you did not see could possibly be a suspect. And that is not a valuable statement."

[Percy] "That is not a valuable statement to make."

[Pelinor] nodding

[Pelinor] no point in it really

[Pelinor] fully understand that

[Percy] "*Anybody* could be guilty. That is not a valuable statement."

[Pelinor] we all know

[Pelinor] so you are here to speak with anyone?

[Percy] "Now, if you *saw* a creature and could *prove* they were there, that would be valuable."

[Pelinor] shall you share a go on the lances with us

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "What would the powerful paladins of wingstone offer for such a boone as to rid the world of one evil elven witch and her giant minions?"

[Pelinor] show us the stuff you are made of Sir Percy?

[Percy] "Yes, we wish to speak to someone who can point us in the right direction of the hill giants."

[Pelinor] head into the hills near Maftarn

[Pelinor] you will find them easily enough

[Percy] "We do not wish for any boon, Ramone."

[Pelinor] but the season for campaigning grows short

[Percy] "We will head to the hills near Maftarn."

[Pelinor] the weather turns melencoly

[Percy] "Those are to the east?"

[Pelinor] and the first frosts are not far off

[Pelinor] he shakes his head

[Pelinor] no to the north

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] "Correction, you dont wish a boon,. I love boons. Boons are nice. They pay for sharp pointy things to kill more evil things."

[Percy] "To the north, then."

[Percy] "And yes, when I return, Sir Pelinor, I will share a go on the lances with you."

[Pelinor] laughs

[Pelinor] that will be a grand thing

Percy singing

[Percy] Percival: Singing check: (d20) [4] 4 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Percy] "When I return, it will be to sing much greater things, Sir Pelinor!"

[DM] Martarn is just over 100 miles to the North

[Percy] Great.

[DM] and trhought three other countries

[Percy] maybe we'll run into evil along the way!

[DM] Norse countries

[DM] if you are walking

[DM] or if you want to rest the evening here

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] I think the hill giants are enough evil for now

[Percy] Bob! What are these paladins of Wingstone doing so *far* away from their country???!!!!

[DM] and in the morning teleport to there

[Percy] Come on, man!

[DM] a very good question Percy

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] invading another country likely

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] which was defended by hill giants

[DM] just to the north of Wingstone is Rathcomb

[DM] The Jarldom of Rathcomb is ruled by the Rathcomb Family. The family has lived in this area from before the time the Jarldom existed as part of Terraguard. The family controls the district of Birka, where a branch of the Great Trade Route runs through. The Jarldom’s main export is a fine local beer that is sent to neighboring countries on a regular basis; Birka Beer with each cask stamped with linked Bs on the end. The Gokstad district is run by the Imsigul family, which is rich from the many adventurers they have produced; Freki Imsigul was a founding member of the Dragonslayers. The heraldic emblem of the family Imsigul is a shield with alternating bands of gold (5) and black (4), running from top to bottom.

[Percy] Well, I would say paladins don't invade, but I'd have the Crusades to deal with...

[DM] chuckles

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] indeed

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] paladins lead invasions

[Percy] Although this is a completely fantasy world that very little mimics the real one, so anything goes.

[Kaz] KILL THE PALLYS!!

[Kaz] Well, except for Percival, of course.

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

[Percy] thanks, bob-

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] good people do start wars

[Kaz] All the time, man

[Percy] Bob, what is this supposed to tell us? Huh?

[Percy] It gives us the hierarchy.

[DM] that is the first county you go through if you walk

[DM] or you can wait till morning

[DM] and teleport

[DM] or start walking

[DM] and teleport in the morning anyway

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] why do we need to wait till morning to teleport?

[DM] depends on where you want to spend the night

[Percy] Can we teleport everyone? Is that what we want to do?

[DM] who can do that for you now?

[DM] and where would you teleport to?

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] the hills over by malfwhatever it is

[Percy] I guess we can talk abou that next time.

[Percy] Bob. What do I have to do to level up again?

[Percy] It's been a while...

[DM] Maftarn is a place, a lake up in the hills

[DM] and also the name of the Jarldom

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] then the hills by maftarn

[DM] when you level

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] hp and thac0

[DM] you check your saves, your hit points, your thac0

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] dont think you are high enough for spells yet

[DM] and proficiencies

[Ramone (BiBo!!)] thats at 9th

[Percy] I already rolled HP. That's one of my best rolls ever of this stupid character.

[Kaz] If we're going to leave it here, then I'm going to get going for good. Nice going, all! *hugs all around*

[Kaz] Night for real!

[DM] did you add the 7 to your HP?

[Percy] He rolled crappy HP for 6 levels straight.

[Percy] I ended up with all of 58 HP and that's *with* Con bonus!!!!

[DM] ok, so you have to add teh 7 now to your max hit points
