JohnAA has received the map Lydsund Estate.
[Master] welcome welcome
[Indigo (Lisa)] Great timing! :)
[JohnAA] if you say so
[JohnAA] we are not in combat
[Master] correct
[Master] getting final details
[JohnAA] looks like where we were two weeks ago
[Master] no
Eric W has left the game on Fri Oct 04 20:09:07 EDT 2013
[Lisa] You only want to be in combat?
[Master] I have provided several options for combat
[JohnAA] what else could timeing be important for
[JohnAA] It's a trap?
[Lisa] we've been here a while and was just going to start by myself which was not optimal for me.
[Lisa] More fun to spend time in a bar with other people
[JohnAA] you buying?
[Master] Indigo, Miranda, Foto and Qui are in teh Inn
[Lisa] sure :)
[Lisa] so all we know is that Johann house on fire and tulips stolen
[Lisa] we don't know about evil halfling or red cloak
[JohnAA] we knew that two weeks ago
[Master] but the group back at the manor house knows a lot more
[Lisa] But Tristan, Hoffman Branwyn et al know more and are coming to tavern soon - I think
[Lisa] they were pretty much done interrogating the staff
[Master] they should be at the inn between 6 adn 7
[Lisa] we did find a red cloak scrap in garden bed
[JohnAA] so we are haning out waiting
[Lisa] we could be doing our own investigation
[Lisa] Indigo is not very good at that
[Master] grins, at waiting and not getting in trouble? or at investigating?
[Lisa] Investigating
[Lisa] Indigo doesn't get into too much trouble
[Lisa] But a gnome, a dwarf, a halfling and a human walk into a bar ...
[Master] we don't serve gnomes in here
[Master] dwarf - that is ok I don't eat gnomes
[Lisa] could be interesting with this set of characters
[JohnAA] Bad da bump
[Lisa] wonder what happened to Eric
[Lisa] He was almost here
[Lisa] should we start?
[Master] sure
[Master] he does not have someone here right now
[Master] so you make it back to the Inn that Petr said he was staying at
[Indigo (Lisa)] Do we have a tavern map?
[Master] Petr is still with the other group
[Master] no map needed
[Master] unless you want one
[Indigo (Lisa)] (It's okay)
[Miranda (JohnAA)] Well, I guess we can chat up the locals while we wait
[Indigo (Lisa)] (can we assume the horses and wagon are taken care of?
[Master] yes
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (NEVE ASSUME WITH A DM)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (why I asked :) )
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (unless it's the worst)
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (we leave brother on watch)
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (only reason I am awake is of sugar)
[Master] this will keep you awake
[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQsM6u0a038
[Miranda (JohnAA)] How busy is the Tavern at this time of day?
[Master] there is no one in the tavern except one young girl and the barkeep
[Master] he looks up surprised at you entering
[Helm (Master)] Is everything ok Masters?
Miranda (JohnAA) looks arround
[Miranda (JohnAA)] you talking to me?
[Helm (Master)] chuckles
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (does the little girl have anything with her, bag or such?)
[Helm (Master)] I am not talking for my health young lady
[Helm (Master)] (a dirty rag)
[Miranda (JohnAA)] You should call me Master, it might go to my head
[Miranda (JohnAA)] and this one is Sir (poining to Ingigo)
[Helm (Master)] well good day to you young Sir
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hello
[Helm (Master)] are you here to join up with your friends?
[Indigo (Lisa)] What friends?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I mean we are, but how do you know our friends?
[Indigo (Lisa)] We do have firends
[Helm (Master)] I thought everyone knew that Otto had a group of mercenaries workign for him
[Helm (Master)] nasty pair of your type with them
[Indigo (Lisa)] Who's Otto?
[Helm (Master)] begging your pardon Sir
[Helm (Master)] I am sure you know your business
[Helm (Master)] Otto Otmahn, he has an Estate just north of here
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Miranda confused
[Miranda (JohnAA)] What type, girl or Halfling?
[Helm (Master)] halflings of course,
[Helm (Master)] pfffft, girls are easy to come by
[Helm (Master)] and DON"T YOU FORGET IT MARGORIE
[Helm (Master)] I CAN REPLACE YOU
[Helm (Master)] so what will it be for you masters?
[Miranda (JohnAA)] It soounds like you can get us work
[Indigo (Lisa)] Wait, wait, there are halfling mercenaries here?
[Miranda (JohnAA)] what is Otto working on
[Helm (Master)] (Eric is having issues logging back in he is restarting)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Like me?
[Helm (Master)] Otto? he is a fancier like most of the lordlings around these parts
[Helm (Master)] not a very good one
[Helm (Master)] hunched back nasty piece he is
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hunched bacK?
[Helm (Master)] halfling mercenaries?
[Indigo (Lisa)] You don't make any sense
[Helm (Master)] scratches his beard
[Helm (Master)] I woudl say so, that does not make much sense at all
[Helm (Master)] never seen a halfling who could fight worth a damn
[Helm (Master)] begging your pardon Sir
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hey!
[Miranda (JohnAA)] They can be quite tough or sneaky, do not get them upset
[Indigo (Lisa)] I can show you who can fight I could.
[Helm (Master)] most of the short people I have seen tend to be more of the stab you in the back sort of person
[Indigo (Lisa)] They are not!
Helm (Master) coughs anc scratches his beard,
[Miranda (JohnAA)] Actually they tend to be too short to do that... but I digress
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't like this place Miranda. Is there another inn nearby?
[Miranda (JohnAA)] How are you doing little girl
[Helm (Master)] are you telling me that the short ones I have seen are not the stab in the back type people?
[Helm (Master)] or are you telling me that you are not a stab in teh back sort of person?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't know who you've seen but I have never stabbed anyone in the back.
[Helm (Master)] because begging your pardon Sir, but isn't that exactly what someoen would say? likely just before they stab you in the back?
[Marjoram (Master)] Is there anyting I can bring you Sir?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe if you wouyld like to come outside and fight me you will realize that I don't need to stab anybody's backside.
[Marjoram (Master)] Oh Old Helm is not worth your trouble sir
[Indigo (Lisa)] A knight doesn't go around stabbing people in the back. It's not honourable.
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (is she the little girl or someone from the back?)
Marjoram (Master) perks up
[Marjoram (Master)] are you really a knight?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes I am. People just don't go around saying they're knights if they aren't.
[Miranda (JohnAA)] well
[Indigo (Lisa)] Who would do that?
[Helm (Master)] the same type of people who would stab you in the back
Indigo (Lisa) sighs
[Helm (Master)] those are the type of people who would go around saying they are a knight
Marjoram (Master) sighs
[Miranda (JohnAA)] It is hard to prove you are good
[Indigo (Lisa)] But as soon as they stabbed you in the back you would know they weren't a knight.
[Miranda (JohnAA)] unless they were possessed
[Helm (Master)] and then it is a little late isn't it boy?
[Helm (Master)] begging yoru pardon Sir
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well ... I guess so
Eric W has joined the game on Fri Oct 04 20:37:31 EDT 2013
Eric W is receiving the map Lydsund Estate...
[Helm (Master)] Good
[Helm (Master)] now that we have that settled
[Helm (Master)] are you styaing the night Sir?
[Helm (Master)] or just topping off for the road?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ugh. I don't want to but I think we have to.
[Helm (Master)] (and sorry for the even worse than normal typing, bandaged fingers on one hand from glass cuts)
[Helm (Master)] Dont' want to what Sir?
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (M7M glass cuts?)
[Miranda (JohnAA)] &
[Indigo (Lisa)] Stay in your inn.
[Helm (Master)] (yeah)
Eric W has received the map Lydsund Estate.
[Helm (Master)] Oh well I am sure I can find a hay stack for you if you want that instead Sir
[Helm (Master)] and Welcome Eric
[Indigo (Lisa)] (hi Eric!)
[Eric W] That was fun
[Helm (Master)] Tristan is not here yet, so enjoy the rest of them getting into a mess
[Eric W] That was fun
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (you can use Qui Fon to talk, just pretend your a jedi without powers)
[Eric W] Man I'm laggy. Don't know what the heck is up with this computer.
[Helm (Master)] (thank you John)
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm not sleeping in hay. I just don't like paying for rooms for someone that doesn't believe I am a knight and think halflings run around stabbing people in the back when they don't!
[Indigo (Lisa)] (from)
[Helm (Master)] Well if you say you are a knight I will believe you until proven otherwise Sir
[Miranda (JohnAA)] I do believe we should stay here Sir, this comon man probably has never seen a knight
[Helm (Master)] there are always little lordlings riding through
[Indigo (Lisa)] (do I have a letter or badge or something?)
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (we can make you some papers)
[Helm (Master)] (you have a crest that you never designated, wry grin)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (need to get me something)
[Eric W (to Master only)] (got about 2/3 the way through last week's game. Am I somewhere else?)
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (and have your Mage make it glow)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe I'll just have an ale and sit down for a bit.
[Helm (Master)] Eric - Tristan is still investigating with teh other group they will catch up here later on this evening, you can play QuiFon
[Marjoram (Master)] I will bring over a pitcher Sirs
[Marjoram (Master)] and .... ummm... glances quickly and then away at Qui
[Marjoram (Master)] what is your friend?
Indigo (Lisa) laughs "I bet you get rocks again Qui!"
[Miranda (JohnAA)] That , soory he is a Dwarf
[Marjoram (Master)] giggles, no really what is he?
[Marjoram (Master)] (by the way Jilly is guarding your gear for you)
[Miranda (JohnAA)] Havn't you even ondered what a dwarf looks like
[Indigo (Lisa)] (thanks)
[Miranda (JohnAA)] The Oneders
[Marjoram (Master)] Dwarves are stories that mother's tell their children to behave
[Miranda (JohnAA)] maybe, but they are also real
Marjoram (Master) gets a little pale
[Miranda (JohnAA)] I bet you can make him talk, want to try?
[Marjoram (Master)] so so I need to find a little baby for him?
[Indigo (Lisa)] How about some ale?
[Eric W] I am back at the keyboard.
[Miranda (JohnAA)] No no
QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W) snorts make me talk eh?
[Miranda (JohnAA)] just having fun Qui
[Marjoram (Master)] so aaa Mister Dwarf
[Marjoram (Master)] or is that Qui Dwarf
[QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W)] The name is QuiFon
[Marjoram (Master)] do you eat babies?
[QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W)] Only the naughty ones
[Marjoram (Master)] /m eswallows
QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W) winks at Indigo
[Marjoram (Master)] jaw drops
[Helm (Master)] don't stand there catching flies
[Helm (Master)] go get the guests somethign to drink
[Helm (Master)] daft girl
[QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W)] Aye I'll take the largest ale you have lass
[Helm (Master)] if it was dangerous they would have it on a chain
Helm (Master) shakes his head
[Miranda (JohnAA)] Him, if HE was dangerous
QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W) laughs
Helm (Master) holds up hands
[Helm (Master)] OH no
[Helm (Master)] I am not checking,
[Miranda (JohnAA)] and Sir Indigo is dangerous and we do not put him on a chain
[Helm (Master)] you say it is a him that is ok
[Miranda (JohnAA)] and wait til you meet Hoffman
Indigo (Lisa) puffs out his chest "Yes I am"
Marjoram (Master) brings back two large pitchers and starts pouring ale into your mugs
[Miranda (JohnAA)] So do you think Otto is hiring?
[Helm (Master)] holed up in his little hill
[Helm (Master)] plotting on terrorizing everyone around him most likely
[Helm (Master)] if he gets too out of line the Baron will set him straight
[QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W) (to JohnAA only)] sorry if I mess up Qui. I haven't played much where he was active.
[Miranda (JohnAA)] Oh I thought Otto hirred a Halfling, Otto IS a halfling
[Miranda (JohnAA) (to Eric W only)] np, just have fun
[Helm (Master)] no Otto is not a halfling
Helm (Master) laughs
[Helm (Master)] that little hunchback?
[Helm (Master)] that would be funny
[Miranda (JohnAA)] but he livs in a hill?
[Helm (Master)] looking at Indigo
[Indigo (Lisa)] What's a hunchback?
[Helm (Master)] imaging you all hunched over like that
[Helm (Master)] begging yoru Pardon and all Sir
[Helm (Master)] a hunchback?
[Helm (Master)] you know a freak? a deformed
[Helm (Master)] wicked
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hunchbacks are deformed and evil? I have never seen one.
[Helm (Master)] stands to reason don't it?
[Miranda (JohnAA)] But in a hill, not even a hut?
[QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W)] you shouldn't be so quick to judge others... Appearnces do not make a man
[Helm (Master)] who is the monster and who is the man?
[Indigo (Lisa)] But there are really halfling mercenaries stayng here at the Inn?
[QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W)] or a dwarf
[Helm (Master)] all my rooms are empty
[Helm (Master)] did not ever hear of any halfling mercenaries
[Miranda (JohnAA) (to Eric W only)] just do not piss off Brawynn
[Helm (Master)] there were three or four mercenaries
[Indigo (Lisa)] But but you said
[Helm (Master)] that wicked little git of a hunchback had a halfling with im
QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W) whispers in his mug "perhaps biggetry isn't the best character trait for an inn owner"
[Helm (Master)] thought you were joining them
[Miranda (JohnAA)] how long ago did they leave?
[Helm (Master)] two, three days ago?
[Helm (Master)] the otmahn's manor house is just north of here
[Indigo (Lisa)] Isn't the flower man staying here? That's why Branwyn said to come here.
[Helm (Master)] go north past Lydsund's
TMO has joined the game on Fri Oct 04 20:57:52 EDT 2013
TMO is receiving the map Lydsund Estate...
[Miranda (JohnAA)] I'd kinda like to meet these mechanaries
TMO has received the map Lydsund Estate.
[Helm (Master)] what flower man?
[Helm (Master)] I have no guests here
[Indigo (Lisa)] The big man who looks at flowers.
[Helm (Master)] every man around these parts looks at flowers
[TMO] (been trying to connect for 10 minutes. As soon as I say something to Bob, it pops right up.)
Helm (Master) rolls his eyes and walks off to the back of hte bar
[Master] Helm moved 7'05".
[TMO] (but now my IM is frozen)
[QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W)] (I had issues too TIMO)
[Marjoram (Master)] the Internets are busy tonight I guess
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (glad you made it)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (happy with the new car?)
[Master] TMO you are hanging out waiting for the rest of the group to catch up
[TMO] (I'm cheap, and hate spending large chunks of money)
[Master] John do you mind if he uses Foto?
[Master] to speak?
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (not at all)
[TMO] (I don't know Foto's personality - anything I should know?)
[Master] So for now Eric is playing Qui, TMO is playing Foto, John is Miranda and Lisa is Indigo
[Master] all at teh Inn waiting for the rest of the group to return
[Miranda (JohnAA)] he is mostly quiest
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (by default)
[TMO] (ah.. quiet. I may have trouble with that. ;) )
[Master] grins
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (yes, lets just say he had one too many)
[Master] and so Helm is in the back room again
[Master] Marjoram is here serving you
[Indigo (Lisa)] Your boss is not a nice man.
[Marjoram (Master)] he isn't?
[Indigo (Lisa)] No! He thinks everyone who isn't like you is bad and he yelled at you in front of us.
[Indigo (Lisa)] That wasn't very nice.
[Marjoram (Master)] I don't think he has ever not yelled
Devin has joined the game on Fri Oct 04 21:05:53 EDT 2013
Devin is receiving the map Lydsund Estate...
Devin has received the map Lydsund Estate.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Did you hear about the fire up the road?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hey Devin! :) )
[Miranda (JohnAA)] did you see these people he spoke of?
[Marjoram (Master)] (Devin, they are working on getting info at the Inn then your group will arrive back here in a little while)
[Brother Fotopoulos (TMO)] (Hi Devin. Like my new gnome suit?)
[Marjoram (Master)] Oh the fire at the Lydsund Estate?
[Marjoram (Master)] yeah
[Marjoram (Master)] that was bad
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (I haveno more characters unless someone want to try a dual personality?
[Marjoram (Master)] I guess Lord Johann could not make his flower and so had to fake a robbery
[Marjoram (Master)] that is what Helm said it must be
[Brother Fotopoulos (TMO)] Is he that type?
[Devin] Good evening people of this place.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Helm thinks bad things about everyone.
[Marjoram (Master)] He likes people who pay their bills
[Indigo (Lisa)] So if I pay my bill he won't think I wil stab him in the back?
[Marjoram (Master)] I am certain he will like you to pay your bill
[Marjoram (Master)] I am not sure about stabbing him in the back
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (hey Devin)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you think that Lord would set his own farm on fire?
[Marjoram (Master)] why would someone do that?
Devin has joined the game on Fri Oct 04 21:10:35 EDT 2013
Devin is receiving the map Lydsund Estate...
[Indigo (Lisa)] That's what I'm saying. Seems like a silly thing to do.
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think Helm knows much about anything.
Devin has received the map Lydsund Estate.
[Marjoram (Master)] besides they are probly all there to go to the Dosyth Estates and collect on the gambling debte that Lord Dosyth owes
[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.
[Marjoram (Master)] looking at Miranda but I have not seen anyone all day here
[Marjoram (Master)] there were a couple of people that stayed last night
[Marjoram (Master)] a man, and another man
[Marjoram (Master)] but that is all
[Miranda (JohnAA)] a couple days ago, when the other halkfing came by
[Marjoram (Master)] oh, I have not ever seen a halfling before
[Miranda (JohnAA)] who was he with
[Marjoram (Master)] but I know what they look like
[Marjoram (Master)] not like that
[Miranda (JohnAA)] oh, so you do get days off
[Marjoram (Master)] points at Qui
[Marjoram (Master)] that is not normal'
Miranda (JohnAA) smiles
[Marjoram (Master)] oh no I don't get days off
[Marjoram (Master)] well only the night after a holiday
Brother Fotopoulos (TMO) smiles. "We don't think you're too normal either, you know."
[Marjoram (Master)] smiles, thank you!
[Marjoram (Master)] Helm is always saying that I am nothing special
[Marjoram (Master)] that is very nice of you
Brother Fotopoulos (TMO) takes a drink.
[Devin] I am back at the keyboard.
[Miranda (JohnAA)] so there is a lot of talk about flowers, do you like flowers?
[Jharym (Devin) (to Lisa only)] its not zombies is it?
[Marjoram (Master)] oh sure
[Marjoram (Master)] everyone likes flowers
[Master] does anyone have any other questions for her? or want to skip forward to dinner hour and the rest of the group arriving here also
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (sounds like a plan)
[Master] OK
[QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W)] I'm game for that.
[Master] Time of Day: 06:35 PM. Day 10 Fin ___ de, Man {Early Spring} 10th, 343 SKR.
[Master] and everyone is at the Inn's common room now
[Jharym (Devin)] (But its so... common!)
[Brother Fotopoulos (TMO)] (King to Court wizard: Eddie? Any ideas how we can lure in the rest of of the werewolves? ... Eddie: Were sheep?)
[Master] and I will let Jharm fill in the rest the group on what you found out
[Brother Fotopoulos (TMO)] (from a webcomic)
[Master] as Indigo, Miranda, etc have no clue
[Master] Tristan missed that too
[Master] and there is a cheat sheet on the site for you Devin
[Shurkural (TMO)] (I shall resume my Shur suit)
[Master] grins
Jharym (Devin) stage whispers IT MIGHT BE ZOMBIES!!!
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
Sylviis ( Devin) smacks her brother
Shurkural (TMO) dopeslaps Jharym.'
[Master] (lisa everyone together again)
[QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W) (to Master only)] is Tristan's icon on this page? I don't see it
[Master] Tristan Elaire moved 3'02".
[Master] Tristan Elaire moved 6'04".
[Sylviis ( Devin)] So, besides my brother being a complete idiot while you guys were gone, and stooping to the level of actually believing in zombies, it seems like we have a few different clues to follow up on.
[QuiFon Ruminel (Eric W) (to Master only)] :) thanks
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] Tristan Elaire moved 37'03".
[Sylviis ( Devin)] We did some interviews of the staff, and what they were doing at the time the fire started here.
[Master] (at the manor house, you are all at the Inn now, an hour or two south of the manor house)
[Sylviis ( Devin)] We got a few hints. One of our hosts found a scrap of red cloth that we think might be from a cape or robe.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] The groundskeeper got hit by a dart that put him to sleep, and only woke up while the fire was already raging.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] Someone thought they saw shadows of undead.
[Jharym (Devin)] ZOMBIES!!!
Sylviis ( Devin) smacks Jharym again
[Indigo (Lisa)] Huh?
[Sylviis ( Devin)] someone thought they saw a were-wolf? or a vampire... I think.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] (My memory has been scrambled this week, so I'm filling in as I remember)
[Sylviis ( Devin)] One thing they could ALL agree on
[Miranda (JohnAA)] That seems unlikly
[Master] (is good and entertaining so far)
[Sylviis ( Devin)] The person who woke everyone up was the stable boy, and now nobody can see him.
[Indigo (Lisa)] A werewolf, a vampire and a zombie stole some tulips and set a farm on fire?
[Miranda (JohnAA)] HE TURNED INVISIBLE?
[Sylviis ( Devin)] The last anyone saw of him, the grounds keeper was asking him to put our horses away.
[Master] and turned the stable boy invisible!
[Indigo (Lisa)] You are crazier than the innkeeper!
[Sylviis ( Devin)] There was also something about a strange halfling.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] Just more "I thought I saw"
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] I did not trust the stable boy
[Indigo (Lisa)] Halflings are NOT strange!
Indigo (Lisa) muttering "I'm getting really tired of this"
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] That is why they said strange Halfling
[Sylviis ( Devin)] Some of them are.
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] it was not your typical Handsome Halfling
[Sylviis ( Devin)] If Jharym were a halfling "strange" would be being kind.
[Jharym (Devin)] Hey!
[Jharym (Devin)] I'm not strange!
[Sylviis ( Devin)] Yes you are.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] Twiddlefingers.
[Jharym (Devin)] Tin Can
[Miranda (JohnAA)] anyway
[Sylviis ( Devin)] Sparklebutt
[Jharym (Devin)] ffft. buh- grrrr...
[Miranda (JohnAA)] I think we can agree it was a group effort
[Shurkural (TMO)] Yeah, apparently the only actual 'real' clue is the one he dismisses as made-up.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] Or people seeing things. There was a lot of crazy going on.
[Miranda (JohnAA)] and we found out about a local who hired some mercinaries just a couple days ago
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think the stories of undead and fangs are mostly servants' fear talking.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] It sounds like no one really saw anything... just a lot of scared people making up stories
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] There were some indication of illusion magic
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have numerous reports of a hlafling there and the darts were made for a halfling.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] So, what we've got to go on are a few poison darts, (yes we have more than one) and a scrap of red cloth.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] Oh, also, the darts are built for a halfling to use.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] or someone of approximately the same size.
[Indigo (Lisa)] No one got stabbed in the back did they?
[Miranda (JohnAA)] and we know where to find a halfling mercanary
[Shurkural (TMO)] Halfling darts and someone with some sort of magic that changes their tracks.
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (HA! LISA)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo! Why would you ask that? Of course not.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] My brother ALMOST got stabbed in the back.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] By me
[Sylviis ( Devin)] repeatedly
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (ONCE)
[Jharym (Devin)] They ruined my saddle!!!
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (my mother stabed me in the back, ...Once)
[Sylviis ( Devin)] Oh... yeah.
[Sylviis ( Devin)] Someone cut the straps off all the extra saddles in the stable to avoid being followed, I presume.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] so I say we ride
[Sylviis ( Devin)] Bareback?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's how we got here.
[Ilero (TMO)] Yah, defnitely for stalling anyone following.
[Master] you can actually ride using the sadles just makes anything a riding check
[Master] etc
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] So what about this stable boy... He never seemed right to me in the first place. No one has seen him at all? Shur, when we first arrived the horses seemed to be panicky around the stableboy. At first I thought it was the fire but could there be some other reason you can think of that would stir up the horses?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jilly can arrange for the repair of our saddles.
[Jharym (Devin)] He's a zombie in disguise?
[Shurkural (TMO)] Shurkural: INT check: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 8!!
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] yea that's probably it
[Sylviis ( Devin)] GOD DAMNIT JHARYM! Would you shut up about the f@%)(& zombies already?
[Shurkural (TMO)] Welll... I have had a bad thought.
[Shurkural (TMO)] I hate to bring it up.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The groundskeeper said he didn't have any experience with horses. Probably scared them.
[Miranda (JohnAA)] what else is new
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What?
Shurkural (TMO) looks at Jharym.
Jharym (Devin) whispers i don't like zombies.
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs and grabs Indigo's cup off the table and takes a drink
[Shurkural (TMO)] Remember the tribe we chased after they kidnapped someone? Right after I joined Ilero and y'all?
[Sylviis ( Devin)] ... no?
[Sylviis ( Devin)] (:P)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] the werewolves?
[Miranda (JohnAA)] (did not make my roll)
[Shurkural (TMO)] I didn't see any signs, but if he was like them, that might explain the fangs and the horses nerves.
[Shurkural (TMO)] I'd hope I'd have seen the signs if he was, but maybe I missed something.
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] I knew it, That stable boy looked like a dog to me
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] I coulnd not figure out why
[Shurkural (TMO)] But if he's been the stableboy for a while, he'd have been really bad at it if him being there made the horses nervous.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Don't werewolves run in packs?
[Shurkural (TMO)] So maybe they were just scared by the fire.
[Shurkural (TMO)] Horses don't like fire. At all.
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] don't dwarfs live in mountains?
[QuiFon Ruminel (JohnAA)] don't dwarfs live in mountains?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] yes...yes they do QuiFon.
[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno. Seems weird to me.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] He's obviously connected to this somehow.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm not sure about the fang story the maid told.
[Shurkural (TMO)] Yeah, I know, sugar. It's all weird. Don't take me too seriously. Scaredypants over there has got me thinking all sorts of weird stuff.
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] Fangs? Did i miss something?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But yes, Zared seems to have been hired by whoever did this.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] OK I'll say it. It's the man in the red cloak. He is always after me lucky charms
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Miranda, you said a halfling was hired by another Lord here?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] (lol John)
[Miranda (JohnAA)] yes, Otto
[Indigo (Lisa)] He's a hunchback!
[Miranda (JohnAA)] live in a hill apparently
[Miranda (JohnAA)] I understand why he is so grouchy
[Miranda (JohnAA)] I understand why he is so grouchy
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] Do we know where this hunchback's home is? Perhaps we should pay him a visit?
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] I say we go have a talk with lord Otto
[Indigo (Lisa)] (is Petr here?)
[Master] no
[Indigo (Lisa)] (where did he go?)
[Master] he was traveling with Branwyn and group until you got here to the Inn
[Master] you could have sworn he went in with you
[Master] the common room is crowded
[Indigo (Lisa)] (bad guy! I knew it)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh Branwyn! That flower man that you said told us to stay here? He isn't staying here. The man said no one is here.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (we need to get moving)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] HE's the man in the red cloak
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Petr? He told us to come here. I am sure of it.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] next time I see him
Branwyn (Lisa) turns around "Petr?"
Branwyn (Lisa) scanning the bar "This is not good"
[Shurkural (TMO)] Ilero: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!
[Shurkural (TMO)] Ilero: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think we may need to hurry.
[Master] Shur does not spot Petr here at the bar
[Shurkural (TMO)] (one of the reasons to keep Ilero around. Perceptive guy. :) )
[Master] Time of Day: 08:06 PM. Day 10 Fin ___ de, Man {Early Spring} 10th, 343 SKR.
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Hoffman "Shall we go?"
[Master] or wait till morning and new spells?
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] Absolutly
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (how far is it?)
[Master] two hours or so
[Master] is north of Lydsund by 45 minutes
[Master] at the most
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] it is late
[Shurkural (TMO)] We don't have saddles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But if Petr really can verify the tulips he might do it tonight and we would be too late.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] If it was just i
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs "We don't need saddles"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You can take Indigo's horse and ride with a saddle.
[Master] Intuition check from Shur?
[Master] or Ilero
[Master] OR Branwyn
[Shurkural (TMO)] Shurkural: INU check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!
[Indigo (Lisa)] I like my horse!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We can't get saddles by tomorrow anyway.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] Hoffman: INU check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!
[Jilly (Master)] comes skipping in
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] I agree Branwyn. If we wait we could miss our chance
[Jilly (Master)] I have two of the saddles fixed Branwyn
[Jilly (Master)] the rest will be done in the morning
[Master] Hoffman and Shur both have an idea
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So quickly? You are a true wizard! How did you do that?
[Master (to JohnAA only)] if Petr is a bad guy as Branwyn said, could he not be a real member of the horticultural socieity?
[Master (to TMO only)] Petr never said anything about flower, knowing them, identifying them, looking for them, etc. except for the piece of paper that said he was from the horticultural society
Jilly (Master) laughs,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (does she have the staple gun?)
[Jilly (Master)] I am not doing it, I have one of the stable boys fixing it for me
[Jilly (Master)] they are working with each other to see who can do the best job
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] Did the victum know Petr?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are wonderful!
[Shurkural (TMO) (to Master only)] didn't he tell us what the special bulbs looked like?
[Master] which victim?
[Master] Lord Johann? he told you what the new bulbs looked like
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] Did the victum know Petr?
[Master] Lord Johann showed you the paper that Petr showed him saying he was with the Horticultural Society
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I think what John is asking is did Johann know Petr personally?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's the guy who rides through every year, etc)
[Master] no he never gave any indication of that at all
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] Did he know of the society?
[Master] Lord Johann did know of the Horticultural Society yes
[Shurkural (TMO)] (I coulda sword it was Petr who described the bulbs to Ilero, while we were tracking)
[Shurkural (TMO)] (maybe I wrong. I do have bad memory)
[Shurkural (TMO)] (and typing occasionally)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] We can watch for him, but for now, do we take chace to Otto, or waittill morning
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] or some go now and the rest will follow
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] be collor blind, don't be so shallow
[Master] grins
[Master] free your mind
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (oh right)
[Ilero (TMO)] We can send part to Otto, part look here for Petr.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (Otto may have friends)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (or hired help, and i do not mean maids and cooks)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would think Petr is on his way to Otto now to tell him what we learned.
[Ilero (TMO)] Probly best we follow quick t'en.
[Ilero (TMO)] 'Fore plans is made.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (unless he is a third party, maybe to stell for himself, IF he is bad)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He followed us everywhere. I hate being tricked so.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] So who is with me
[Master] and yes I will give you that with that from Hoffman and Branwyn, yes the bag of bulbs that you recovered so far
[Master] that Petr was carrying
[Master] is not there anymore
[Ilero (TMO)] (oh, I just assumed that. ;) )
[Master] grins
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We took it from him (when we got back we gave it to groundskeeper)
[Master] yes you gave the groundskeeper a bag
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (of?)
[Master] Petr is the one who handed it over before you left to come back here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (wou;dn't we have noticed if suddenly he created another bag?)
[Master] wry grin, did you notice when he disapeared?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we didn't know to notice)
[Master] tricksies hobbitese
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] ( I never noticed he was there, so I always thought he was disapeared)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] Have we seen the stable boy and Ptr at the same time?
[Master] yes
[Ilero (TMO)] (and the locals would have noticed if stable boy was with us)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] how about Petr and the man with a red cloak?
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (soory)
[Master] they are not the same person
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we have seen the man in the red cloak)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (not recently)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (less than a year I think)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (just a piece of red cloak, mostlikley Herring)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (but then again, this is BOB)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (we need a seamstress to compare the cloth and color)
[Master] so riding out to get to Otto's compound quickly?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I would seriously cry foul if he put red cloak in front of us and didn't at least tell us to roll for recognition)
[Master] or waitin till morning and full spells
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I don't think the amount of spells I would gain by sleeping would matter for me - not sure about other casters)
[Master] you have not seen Red Cloak since the meeting at the Inn to start Blood Trail
[Master] Devin? John?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes - not that long ago)
[Master] Eric?
[Master] exactly to Lisa
[Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero is okay with following now)
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] I am full on spells so I'm good to go
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you and Foto were healing the bad guys in the morning as well as you all who got yourselves blown up)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] Hoffman is ready to go now, John needs some sleep first
[Master] (has been about 10-11 months that you have seen Red Cloak after doing the math)
[Jharym (Devin)] (I am uncertain of my current spell situation, but my cat is telling me that if I don't cast "summon food" she's going to cast "leg to pulp" fairly shortly, I'll brb)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] foto would maybe stay here
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] (hmmm been a bit since last time I played so Ihave one first and one 3rd cast only)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] I say horsed for Indigo and any other slow walker
[Master] have not slept since last time you were in Eric
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (it has been a looooong day)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so John you are leaving?)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (not quite gone yet)
[Master] good
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] Ok then I'm still good. Not worth waiting
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (only mostly tired
[Master] so moving forward quickly
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (caffeine for you)
[Master] you only take estentials with you
[Jharym (Devin)] (I have a good number of available spells)
[Master] the party pack, not all the spell books, etc
[Master] leave Foto and Jilly behind to guard everything
[Master] does that sound reasonable?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] maybe leave Qui behind, too many short legs
[Master] you ride into the night to get to the Othman estate
[Master] ok
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] Otto Othman, that is an evil name
[Master] Branwyn moved 11'11".
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] Yep sounds good
[Ilero (TMO)] (he better not have 8 arms)
[Hoffman (JohnAA) (to Lisa only)] Icecreaam will have to do
[Hoffman (JohnAA) (to Lisa only)] Icecreaam will have to do
[Ilero (TMO)] (he better not have 8 arms)
Lisa is receiving the map tulips compound lower level...
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to JohnAA only)] Coffee ice cream?
Lisa has received the map tulips compound lower level.
[Master] Ok so does everyone have the Lower Level map?
[Tristan Elaire (Eric W)] not me
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] nope

Eric W is receiving the map tulips compound lower level...
[Master] waiting to be sure everyone is settled
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] good to go
[Master] ok
[Master] Eric is lagging so he will bring up the rear as we go in
[Master] The narrow dirt avenue has led you to a small, odd-looking hill, surrounded by a 15/ wide moat. A tangle of various weeds and thorny vines covers the slope rising from the moat's edge. A small stone-walled castle sits atop the hill. The road stops at the edge of the moat, next to a large brass bell suspended from a stout pole. A double-headed vulture has been engraved on the bell. A brick gatehouse with a heavy wooden drawbridge thrusts out of the hill at the water's edge. The murky water of the moat does not seem very deep. The drawbridge is raised.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (there is a doorbell at the moat)
[Master] Time of Day: 01:22 AM. Day 11 Trall ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 11th, 343 SKR.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] Like all the civilized moats have
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] and you wanted a alligator
Eric W has received the map tulips compound lower level.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] Do we ring it?
[Jharym (Devin)] (Fireball the front door? that'll get their attention)
[Ilero (TMO)] (brb - bedtime for Princess)
[Ilero (TMO)] (oh, quick roll for Shur)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (then we jump through the flames to enter?)
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] not quite what we are looking for
[Master] Across the moat you see a stout wooden drawbridge, raised and secured by two heavy ropes emerging from the brick gatehouse. There is an arrow slit to the right of the drawbridge, although you do not spot any lights through it
TMO is now controlling Shurkural
[Ilero (TMO)] Shurkural: Tracking check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!
[Ilero (TMO)] (any tracks coming in?)
[Master] Directly below the drawbridge on the left side you can see the top of an iron grate sticking out of the murky water. If it covers a tunnel, it would appear to lead straight into the hill.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] I think I should ring it
[Master (to TMO only)] you see several different horse hoof prints, a carrige has gone through here too, apparently into the hill
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (going once)
Branwyn (Lisa) eyes arrow slit warily wishing she had a shield or something
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What do you think of that grate?
Jharym (Devin) stands back a bit, trying to scrape the mud from his boots and not really paying attention.
Eric W has left the game on Fri Oct 04 22:30:27 EDT 2013
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] Do we ahve anyone who wants to sneak in, and swim a little, that would be the way to go
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not that I really want to jump in a moat as a first choice or anything
[Miranda (JohnAA)] ooooh, if I could chnage intoa frog
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can't do that for you tonight I'm afraid.
[Miranda (JohnAA)] I guess door it is
[Miranda (JohnAA)] want to shoot the rope and see if we can get the drawbridge to fall?
[Shurkural (TMO)] Recent tracks. Horses and carriage, going into the hill.
[Master] (Eric is trying to log back in)
[Sylviis ( Devin)] That wouldn't be a very stealthy entrance.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] As much as we are used to taking things head on, I feel we need to ask first and fight later
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] but I will differ to brawynn as you have a rep to think about
[Jharym (Devin)] Can we construct something? A catapult or slingshot or something?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (glad marco is not here to hear you say that)
Sylviis ( Devin) facepalms
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] as welll as your Sir Mightly Warrior
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (What are or assets?)
[Master] wry grin, 1 am knock on the door of the bad guys house, give them a sporting chance, smile
[Master] you do not even have a wheel barrow
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (we have a piece of a cloak)
[Sylviis ( Devin)] (Make sure to offer them a nice, new, pristine set of encyclopedias)
[Master] I am the dread pirate roberts, surrender
[Master] or you are dooomed
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (lisa, are we breaking in?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am comvinced that we are at the door of the thief. I am not worried for my reputation.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is up to you how you would like to handle it.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You know me. I do tend to take a more direct approach...
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] (can Hoffman thow an ax to try and cut the rope holding the drawbridge?)
[Master] sure
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] have something for me to target?

[Master] Entering via the drawbridge, you find yourselves in a massive, stonewalled room. Heavy wooden timbers support the ceiling. A large black coach sits idle against the east wall. The snorting and shifting of horses can be heard from the three stalls that have been constructed on the west wall. An iron-bound wooden trap door is visible in the center of the floor. Various doors and passages lead out of this room, into the body of the island. You cannot see any stairs leading to the upper surface. The stalls contain two good quality heavy draft horses and one light warhorse. The carriage is well made and can seat six humans comfortably, plus the driver. It is emblazoned with a silver, double-headed vulture. The door is unlocked.

[Master] This immense winch system is used to raise and lower the drawbridge. It is designed to be used by one person. An arrow slit provides a view of any visitors awaiting entry. A short bow and a quiver of a dozen arrows are leaning against the wall here.
Devin is receiving the map tulips compound lower level...
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It's odd that no one heard the drawbridge fall.
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] don't count on it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well odd that no one has come to see what happened.

[Hoffman (JohnAA)] which way?
[Hoffman (JohnAA)] or good place to call a night
[Master] Two handcarts are lined up against the southern wall of the passageway, which eventually leads to a 20'square room. A braided, red silk rope runs up one wall, all 30' up to the ceiling, where it disappears through a narrow hole. An 8'-wide hole in the ceiling is partially blocked by a large wooden crate suspended from heavy leather straps. The handcarts are used to move heavy goods from the carriage to the cargo lift, which in turn is used to transport them to the upper levels. The braided rope is a bell-pull used to signal when the lift is loaded and ready.
[Ilero (TMO)] Walkway over water t'ere.
[Master] The passage walls quickly widen to form a roughly circular room filled with water. The walls are of well made masonry, and are very smooth. A 5'-wide wooden walkway crosses this water and reforms into a normal passageway.
