[SpringDiesel] i like lisa's version
[SpringDiesel] so, nice to see you have power and internet after last night

[Master] so you remembeer were we left off
[Master] morning after the ankhegs
[Lisa] while we are waiting and spring is trying to work, can I play with the statue?
[Lisa] don't want people to think they have to go back there because I want to poke at it
[Lisa] we will need a healing discussion most likely before we move forward
[Master] yes
[Lisa] since we have 2 massively wounded npcs, indigo is heavy and branadarus and Ilero moderately
Branwyn (Lisa) Branwyn and Indigo head back towards the statue so they can look at it in the morning light
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Coming Tiberius? Anyone can join us, it won't take long.
Branwyn (Lisa) hopes Snezana joins them in a bit
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the symbols
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We should ask Snezana if the symbols are Kayugan
[SpringDiesel] (i totally forgot to keep a log of spells used last week)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Being in the Duke's lands and all
[Master] new day speinf
[Master] spring
[SpringDiesel] (thanks!)

TMO has received the map DryadsLair_Diplomatic Quarter.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (hi TMO!)
[TMO] (howdy folks!)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] anyway, let's look at this figure. Priest, ruler or warrior is it?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hi tmo)
[TMO] (sorry I'm a bit late)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] They almost never make statues of wizards do they?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no yo aren't - I am back tracking - hoping not to waste your time)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 15'07".
Snezana (SpringDiesel) trudges around the path
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] i found a few useful herbs but nothing exciting
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good morning, Snezana
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] good morning
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I couldn't help but take a look at this arm waving statue again
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (and then i sneezed in IRL)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's contagious)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] /shakes head
Snezana (SpringDiesel) shakes head
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (heh)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] that thing scared me when it moved
[Master] branwyn notices the arm is up
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Are the symbols along the side Kayugan?
[Master] and no to Kayugan
Snezana (SpringDiesel) looks thoughtfully at them
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] mmm nope
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but is statue a priest, ruler or warrior?)
[Master] is a woman warrioe
Branwyn (Lisa) looks to see if there is a plaque at the bottom or on the sides
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] she looks to kick butt doesn't she?
[Master] yes
[Master] and no plaque or cavities
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (ha!)
Branwyn (Lisa) looks her up and down "Yes she is fierce. She even moved her arm back overnight"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (tmo - if you want bring your characters down - branwyn will probably do something stupid soon)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hmmm
[Master] they are there
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So we are at a crossroads and her arm is sticking out ... which way?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
[Master] up
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she is pointing at the sky?)
[Master] I will give bran an intuition check
Indigo (Lisa) looks up
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: INU check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!
[Master] yes arm is up
Branwyn (Lisa) thinks she has something and then loses train of thought while watching Indigo pace around not watching where he is going
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo, you made me forget what I was thinking.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] There isn't anything up in the sky.
[TMO] (invisible floating castle?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay. You mentioned it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Tiberius, do the symbols look Greek? They look Greek to me.
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] they might be
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] i do not pay much attention at church
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so paths are to the left and right of statue?)
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] yes
[Ilero]] (TMO) leans back against a rock and absently wipes a cloth across his equipment, cleaning off the dust, while watching the investigation of the shrine.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo moved 27'09".
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] last night we were trying to get a peek around the back of the statue. what if we took a long stick and poked around?
Indigo (Lisa) walks up and looks at the hand to see if it is open, a fist or pointy hand
[Master] hand is curled
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (like it was holding something and now is not?)
[Master] maybe used to hold something
[Master] bingo
[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay. If I lend this to you my lady, you must promise to give it back
Indigo (Lisa) tries to put his sword in statue's hand
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 11'10".
[Master] it looks like it could be
[Indigo (Lisa)] (his regular sword and not his goblin sword)
[Master] not quite but almost fits
[Indigo (Lisa)] (too big or too small?
[Master] slightly small
Ilero (TMO)] (need a longsword maybe?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (the sword is too small or the hand is too small?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (confused)
[Master] sword
[Indigo (Lisa)] (my fault)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (ok)
Indigo (Lisa) walks back down and kicks a pebble amd grumbles "Too small a sword"
Indigo (Lisa) turns back "It's a good sword though!" at the statue
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 23'00".
Shurkural (TMO)] You can try ine if you want, sugar. It's bigger.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ohhh she might like that! Especially from you since you're both she's
[Shurkural]] (TMO) grins. "Besides, you know it's not the size of the sword that matters, but how you wield it."
Indigo (Lisa) smiles
[Master] grin
Snezana (SpringDiesel) smiles
[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you want to try it Shur?
[Shurkural]] (TMO) shrugs. "I can if you want. What're we hoping for?"
Shurkural (TMO)] Attack: Bastard Sword, silver; one hand:: is now ARMED.
[Indigo (Lisa)] I think Branwyn hopes it will point to the road we're supposed to take
Shurkural (TMO)] Ah, okay.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) heads up tothe statue and tries to fit her sword into the hand
[Master] slips in mostly easily
[Master] statue does not move though
[Shurkural]] (TMO) tries to sight down the blade.
[Master] points to the sky
[Master] Indigo can make an intuition check
[Indigo (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Magical Abilities - CHANGED: 5 -- Current: 2 (3).

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: INU check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hmmm
[Master] and Ilero now
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: INU check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!
Ilero (TMO)] lol
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe she wants to fight?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I mean not really but
[Master] the only thing anyone can figure out is the sword is pointed up now
Indigo (Lisa) walks back up at taps Shur's blade with his own
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 25'01".
[Master] ting
Indigo (Lisa) smiles
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] Snezana: INU check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!
[Master] snezana asks, what or who needs to now when the sun is up or down?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Farmers
Ilero (TMO)] Vampires
Indigo (Lisa) looks at ilero
[Indigo (Lisa)] That's a better answer
[Indigo (Lisa)] I was thinking roosters
[Indigo (Lisa)] But roosters tell the farmers
Branwyn (Lisa) rolls eyes
Snezana (SpringDiesel) smiles
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (so i guess the arm came down at the same time the sun went down)
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think vampires would want to like out here
[Master] bingo
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (and the fact we were poking around was coincidence)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (live)
[Indigo (Lisa)] That is sort of silly isn't it?
[Indigo (Lisa)] To make a magical statue that tells you what you know if you just look at the sky?
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] so ... if there are vampires, would they be underground? does the enchanted arm activate some mechanism below signal the sun?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ohhhh maybe this is the way to a vampire keep!
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] begs the question why use an arm at all
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I sincerely hope that is not the case
[Master] brb
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh sure drop the possibility of vampire keep and then run away)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well I guess she isn't going to tell us which way to go then.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I suppose the log is as good as any if we can get in between the four hills
[Indigo (Lisa)] Does the statue look like a vampire?
[Indigo (Lisa)] It just seems odd
[Indigo (Lisa)] Unless she got turned into a vampire and she made a staue of her former self
[Indigo (Lisa)] Do people make statues of themselves?
Ilero (TMO)] Ego
[Indigo (Lisa)] I think you should wait until someone makes a statue of you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps we should do well then to move quickly and see if we can find this mapped area while there is sunlight to be had
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] don't people usually make statues of their heroes?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes, that's why I don't understand if it is a vampire sign why they would make the statue of a female human warrior
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] may be it's their leader's former self
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe it is for farmers or roosters!
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] OH!
Ilero (TMO)] Rooster vampires
[Indigo (Lisa)] Right - before she got turned into an undead
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] nevermind, i had an idea but it was dumb
Ilero (TMO)] dumber t'an rooster vampires?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Can't be dumber than rooster heroes
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] i was thinking anti-vampires could have put it to warn them that sundown is near
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] and that the warrior was a vampire killer
[Indigo (Lisa)] (that isn't dumb - I thought about that too)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] but again, farmers can tell when sundown is near
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] they don't need arm waving statues
[Indigo (Lisa)] (well my ideas are not ringing endorsements for intelligence ... but it is a thought :) )
[Master] all good ideas
Indigo (Lisa) takes Shur's sword back down to her
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (okay i think i am done with work for the day. sigh)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (i can mostly pay attention now)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Here you go. Don't think it makes her do anything
[Master] but no way to prove or disprove
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (although johnny may draft me to help him with some electronics later)
[Indigo (Lisa)] I wonder who stole her sword though
[Master] Shur can make an intu check
[Master] at a plus
[Indigo (Lisa)] Seems she had one once
[Master] same as Indigo
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: INU check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Master] waiting for Shur
[Indigo (Lisa)] (My chars have no thoughts)
Shurkural (TMO)] trying to get her dice panel to open
[Indigo (Lisa)] (just ramble away)
[TMO] dice panel was hidden for some reason
[TMO] [Shurkural]]: INU check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 13!!
[Indigo (Lisa)] lol
[TMO] facepalm
[TMO] I don't suppose that bonus was +10?
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (johnny took a look at the screen and said maybe the statue is in the outhouse having a poo)
[Master] INdo hands th esword to Shur then they both pause
[Master] ans Shur's sword is now silver
Indigo (Lisa) looks at his hand
[Indigo (Lisa)] Whoa!!
[TMO] ...
[Indigo (Lisa)] My sword didn't do that
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] wow
[Shurkural]] (TMO) 's eyes get big.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] that is now completely useless as a sword, but it is amazing
[Indigo (Lisa)] Useless???
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] way too soft to strike anything
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Howard "I mean the sword)
[Shurkural]] (TMO) looks at the sword. Just in case, is her engraving on it?
[Master] yes
[Shurkural]] (TMO) squeals.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] the sword turned silver and got engraved?
[Master] same symbols as the ones on the side collumns
[Indigo (Lisa)] How did she know how to do that?
Shurkural (TMO)] (oh, not Shurkural's engravings on her family sword?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (too bad mario isn't here)
[Master] still there too
[Shurkural]] (TMO) frowns and stares at her sword. "It looks like my g'pa's sword, but it's got more on it now."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hmmm ... maybe she was a paladin with the Brotherhood!!
Snezana (SpringDiesel) looks baffled at all ov it
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe they have their own symbols and wouldn't use the Kayugan
Shurkural (TMO)] (her family sword is the one that got lost to the bugbears)
Indigo (Lisa) tugs at Branwyn's sleeve
[Indigo (Lisa)] The Brotherhood
[Indigo (Lisa)] You know
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, yes. I know,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is a very good thought.
Shurkural (TMO)] (so, just to check, this statue gave her back her sword, *and* engraved something more onto it?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And since we are looking for a paladin, this is a good sign
[Master] yes
[Indigo (Lisa)] The Brotherhood is a group of paladins that fight vampires.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) holds her sword close and dances giddily around.
Shurkural (TMO)] [Shurkural]]: Dancing check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 15!!
[Indigo (Lisa)] So if you offer your sword to the paladin hero she makes you a Brother maybe?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Gives you a weapon that fights the undead?
[Indigo (Lisa)] And were animals
Shurkural (TMO)] She gave me back my sword!
Indigo (Lisa) sighs
[Indigo (Lisa)] I am glad
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] oh! so the silver isn't uselessly soft then
[Shurkural]] (TMO) rushes up to the statue. "Thank you! Thank you!"
Shurkural (TMO)] (no, it's just silver embossed)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (softer than regular steel - they can break easier)
Shurkural (TMO)] (it's a real magic sword underneath the silver)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (nice!)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Snezana, are you in the mood to heal our wounded warriors a bit so we can continue?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am pleased we came back here this morning.
[Master] will move every one back to other map
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] oh yes, certainly
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This would have been sad to lose this opprortunity
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles at Shur
[Shurkural]] (TMO) can't wipe the grin from her face.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] Snezana casts a spell against : Orison: I can create minor effects.
Shurkural (TMO)] I gotta find out who that statue is!
Branwyn (Lisa) whispers to Tiberius "At least if nothing else, we have this to say for the trip. It is a very good thing"
[Master] how many on who
Lord Branadarus (Master) nods
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (looks like lord branadarus ought to get all of those
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You have the symbols on the shrine now on your sword, We can research this when we get home.
[Master] how many
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] Snezana casts a spell against : Orison: I can create minor effects.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (for ilero)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] Snezana casts a spell against : Orison: I can create minor effects.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (for shur)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (i have two more of those, but it's early in the day ...)
[Master] how many is it?
[Shurkural]] (TMO) nods energetically.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] i just now did 3
[Master] how many hp?
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] I just did 9 for brananadana
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] 9 for shur
[Shurkural]] (TMO) sits down and starts polishing the sword, looking for chips and microscopic cracks.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] 9 for ilero
[Master] Lord Branadarus's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 36 (9) - Moderately Wounded
[Master] [Ilero]]'s Current Hit Points: adjusted to 41 (9) - Lightly Wounded

[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (his number font is so small i lost it int he rocks)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (holy crap is that 35?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (as if he hasn't enough reminders how small he is today! :) )
Shurkural (TMO)] (lol)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (his icon get lost)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (okay needs must)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] Snezana casts a spell against : Orison: I can create minor effects.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] Snezana casts a spell against : Orison: I can create minor effects.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (all 18 of those are for him)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thank you)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (and i'm out of level 1s)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we'll just have to be careful)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 21'04".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jilly, you are in charge of our wounded

[Indigo (Lisa)] (well that spoiled npcs aren't the worst thing in thw world :) )
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] welcome
[Master] so over the log or back around the other path?
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (BOB my notes say snexana has 2 bonus level 1 spells, but i have question marks next to whether i have bonus level 2 or 3 spells)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (i know i should know how to figure that out but i'm lost a tthe moment)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (which looked like it would take us to the center of the four hills?)
Shurkural (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Orienteering check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!
[Indigo (Lisa)] (your char sheet should have it - shouldn't it?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (good!)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (well let'
[Indigo (Lisa)] (let's go the way it was planned - no sense changing without any reason)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (agreed)
[Master] there was no plan
[Indigo (Lisa)] (they picked right last week - they created a plan)
[Master] they saw the log and stopped
[Master] ok
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (for the night)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (not night anymore :-)
[Master] so log
Shurkural (TMO)] (logloglog - it's fun!)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (how wide is log and how high over water?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (wait! we can't take mules and carts over log!)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (minor details!)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (sigh)
[Master] about 2-3 feet wide
[Master] yes to lisa
[Indigo (Lisa)] (we can
[Master] you cannot
Shurkural (TMO)] (can the mules ford the stream?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (keep prematurely hitting Enter - sigh -)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (we can't leave them either)
[Master] do you suffer from premature enter? ask your doctor about .....
[Indigo (Lisa)] :)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (small carts are probably 3 ft off ground at best?)
[Master] 2 to 3 yes
Shurkural (TMO)] (have our muscly people toss them over)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (so maybe other path is best as long as they go to same place)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (LOL)
Shurkural (TMO)] (agreed - stick to passable roads unless we must leave them)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (see! a new plan)
[Master] ok so back and around
[Indigo (Lisa)] (we are full of plans)
[Master] Time of Day: 08:00 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Man {Early Spring} 5th, 1266 TGR.
[Master] grins
[Master] as you round the curve
[Indigo (Lisa)] (I like the new plan)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (graves and statues are much more fun than logs and drowning mules and Ilero)
Shurkural (TMO)] (no drowning Ilero please)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (because with our dice rolls we know he would fall in)
Shurkural (TMO)] (give him half a reason and he'd jump in)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ohhh a cementary!
Shurkural (TMO)] (you don't have to force him to do something stupid)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Cemetery
[Indigo (Lisa)] That's what I said!
[Indigo (Lisa)] And more statues
Snezana (SpringDiesel) frowns
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
[Jilly (Master)] if there is only one is it a cementar?
Ilero (TMO)] Cemetery.. nice.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Looks like a monk
Branwyn (Lisa) looks to see if there are any plaques on this statue or on the tomb in front
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
Ilero (TMO)] (looks like guy named 'JF')
[Master] it looks like a priest in robes looking down over the tomb
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I don't get anything more than that?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (plaques or writing on the tomb?
[Master] the robes look very familiar to bran and illero
Ilero (TMO)] (the pain and suffering Suomi god?)
Ilero (TMO)] (Iluvatar?)
[Master] the name on the plaque is all chipped and marred
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (anything on the tomb?)
[Master] the priests from greek priests under the church
[Master] Hades
[Master] tomb is black marble
Ilero (TMO)] (oh, the overconfident idiots)
Branwyn (Lisa) looks over at Ilero
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This might not be such a wonderful place
Ilero (TMO)] Never t'ought cemetery wonderful at all.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well if really brave people are buried there it is a good place.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo, those robes look like the Greek priests of Hades that we saw in Skull Church while you and Shur were gone
Ilero (TMO)] Nameplate all gone?
[Master] yes to tmo
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And I am not exactly popular with Hades at the moment.
[Ilero]] (TMO) looks it over. (kind of like somebody pushing the elevator button again)
[Master] still all gone, grins
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ohhh. Well it's not like we were going to start opening all these things.
[Indigo (Lisa)] We just go where we're supposed to go, right?
Ilero (TMO)] Hye go first, 'fore you do t'at.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't see any need to disturb graves
Ilero (TMO)] Good/
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We should just be alert as we go through
[Master] the path into the trees
Snezana (SpringDiesel) nodding
Snezana (SpringDiesel) looking alert
Indigo (Lisa) walks along the path with his swords drawn but at his sides
[Master] ok
[Indigo (Lisa)] Good thing we didn't camp here last night!
[Ilero]] (TMO) nods.
[Master] Time of Day: 10:51 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Man {Early Spring} 5th, 1266 TGR.
[Master] after an hour or two you come arund a curve
[Indigo (Lisa)] (this no plaque thing makes things very vaguely foreboding)
[Master] and in a small valley surrounded by four hills
[Master] you come up to
[Indigo (Lisa)] Looks like we made it!
[Ilero]] (TMO) looks around and tries to make sure it matches up with the maps.
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Orienteering check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!
[Master] yes to Ilero
Ilero (TMO)] Look good.
Branwyn (Lisa) pulls Branadarus to her "You read maps very well"
Lord Branadarus (Master) grins
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] now we just need to find the big X]
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wouldn't that be nice!
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) looks for an X
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so that is the only structure in the valley?)
[Master] yes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Might as well check it out
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (brb)
[Master] (we will make it about 2 more hours, 11 or so)
[Master] (worked an 18 hour shift at the emerceny call center
[Master] after a 8 hour shift then a 3 hour nap
[Master] BOB is very tired
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] :-(
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (tired ANY owie)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] AND
[Master] at least it was a good storm for us
[Master] St Augustine is crushed now
[Master] working tomorrow ro open th elibrary
[Master] re open
[Master] only a cuple o hours
[Master] then back home
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] don't forget to take care of you
[Master] just need a dolphin win
[Master] grins
Shurkural (TMO)] good luck
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (back - do you want to call it a night and sleep?)
[Master] not yet
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ok but we will know what happened if you suddenly crash)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[Master] grins
[Master] but what do you want to explore that set of ruins
Shurkural (TMO)] yes
[Master] what do you want to do
[Indigo (Lisa)] (do we see an entry way?)
[Master] no
[Master] it looks like a doorway there
[Master] but it is colapsed
Shurkural (TMO)] (can Ilero climb over a spot?)
[Master] sure easy
Ilero (TMO)] Hye check.
[Ilero]] (TMO) climbs up on top of the wall and looks over the inside from above.
[Master] rubble
[Master] looks like roof collapsed
Ilero (TMO)] (any of the rooms look like it might have a stairwell downward?
[Master] no visible rooms
Branwyn (Lisa) walks around the perimeter to get a feel as to how big the place was
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
Ilero (TMO)] Not see anyt'ing.
[Master] size seems to be about three rooms or so
[Master] the interior seems to be filled in with rubble from a second story that has collapsed
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So about three rooms. Doesn't seem like there is enough rubble for it to have had two floors
[Master] sorry restoom brb
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
Ilero (TMO)] No, seem like some t'is be from second floor.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh then that would be larger then
Ilero (TMO)] Walls look like manse or fort?
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] did we crash?
Ilero (TMO)] bob's afk
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] oh ok, i need a food
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] b
[Master] maybe a manse
[Master] no fortifications visible
Ilero (TMO)] (so not thick like a fort would have been)
[Master] no
[Master] and yes to spring
Ilero (TMO)] Look like house some sort.
[Master] my reaction to junk food fore 3 days on phones
[Master] and yes to house
[Master] no visible means of underground entrance
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (any crushed furniture?)
Ilero (TMO)] Not see basement entrance
[Master] only larger timbers left sticking out
[Master] nothing inside
[Master] no visible
[Ilero]] (TMO) looks around from his vantage point on top of the wall for anything else in the valley.
[Master] furniture or goods
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=19] 19 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Master] Ilero notes there are no paths here to the structure except your path
Ilero (TMO)] Is old building.
[Master] yes
[Master] but how old? ////
Ilero (TMO)] (older than a breadbox?)
[Master] grins
Ilero (TMO)] Not see anyt'ing else in valley t'ough.
[Master] no
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (how far was this from the cenetery?)
[Master] any other ideas to find out details
[Master] and about an hour or three
Ilero (TMO)] What t'ink? Dig here bit, or look out t'ere more?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Branwyn could try to have a seance :) )
Ilero (TMO)] (talking to the dead is her newest hobby. :) )
Ilero (TMO)] (can't find a book, ask a dead person)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (use the tools you got)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (though she hasn't been that good at it lately)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well unless anyone has some kind of divination like spells to locate things the only thing I think we can do is what you said - just look
Ilero (TMO)] Hokay.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have a couple of shovels and might be able to get the mules to pull some of tha timber away from the doorway
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have rope
Ilero (TMO)] Yah.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then some of us could walk around and look for disturbed ground or some sign that something else might have been here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If we don't find anything be nighfall then we camp here and head to the next site in the morning?
[Master] i will let anyone invetigatng make an intuition cxheck
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Snezana, do you have any spells to help find things that might be buried or lost?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: INU check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: INU check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Indigo (Lisa)] (no brains on my end this evening)
Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: INU check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!
Ilero (TMO)] [Shurkural]]: INU check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 13!!
[Master (to TMO only)] so Ilero finds several bits of graffitti that are not in Common
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] back
[Master (to TMO only)] but not like raiders, more like, people who carved into the wall, wood pillar idly as hey sat somewhere
Ilero (TMO) (to Master only)] Kilroy was here
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] Snezana: INU check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!
[Master] nods
Ilero (TMO)] Bran. Gots some carvings here. look like bored people
Ilero (TMO)] Not readable t'ough. Ot'er language.
[Master (to SpringDiesel only)] no well here for water, so hard to believe someone could live here permantly
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Bored people? Like prisoners?
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] hmm spells to find something buried or lost .... thinking
[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If we have no luck I can try to read it in the morning. It's words and not symbols?
Ilero (TMO)] Seem so.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then we can try that.
Indigo (Lisa) walks out about 10 feet from the ruins and then walks around them in a cicle looking at the ground
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles at Indigo "He looks very intent"
[Master (to Lisa only)] Indigo is used to bars, he notices that there is no stables, or places to keep mounts, so who would visit here/
Ilero (TMO)] (not IC - if he circles 3 times will he lay down?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
Indigo (Lisa) stops when he gets back to the ruins entrance way
[Indigo (Lisa)] Doesn't look like they had other things like stables or hitching posts for horses and mules
[Indigo (Lisa)] So it seems like this wasn't a place that people came to visit
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] Well, i can locate a lost object, but only if i know what that object is. I have to have a clear mental image of what i want to find
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] that's the only thing i can think of
[Indigo (Lisa)] (we're looking for scrolls but I'm not sure a general scroll is a clear enough image - it better be in a case but again we have no clue what kind)
Ilero (TMO)] (this is our best bet so far. so some digging around is warranted)
Indigo (Lisa) stands with his back to the entrance and looks out ahead first just himself and then with the spyglass
Indigo (Lisa) thinks - is there a reason for this place as a watchtower?
Indigo (Lisa) thinks - well a short watchtower
[Master] there is a tower up on a hill far of that sticks out of the tops of trees that could look down on this place
[Master] at least an hour away though
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ohh look there's another tower!
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe this was the guard house to that tower and that's why people who stayed here were so bored
[Indigo (Lisa)] They were guarding
Ilero (TMO)] (probably not a watchtower if it's down in a valley)
Ilero (TMO)] (sorry - slow response. had to stop and chastise the children in the middle of typing. ;) )
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] barracks?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (he's IC - and have you seen his intuition rolls? :) he is saying what he sees but you can do what you like with his theories)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe
[Indigo (Lisa)] I wonder who's tower that is. Is that the second spot on the map, Ilero?
Ilero (TMO)] Am t'inking house. Mebbe relatives of tower owner?
[Master] no to Ilero
[Ilero]] (TMO) checks the map.
Ilero (TMO)] Not look so.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (okay - bob correct me - this spot was 1-2 days north of lodge. 2nd spot is another day to the west of this spot?)
[Master] 20 miles or so to the one to the east of here, 22 miles or so to the west for the other
[Master] hills take longer to travel
[Master] hills in one to east forest to one to west
[Indigo (Lisa)] (ok - thought forest was in opposite direction)
Ilero (TMO)] Indigo - is t'ere tower on each hill, or just one?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (like south)
[Master] bag od clouds, curfrent position is where the lodge is
[Master] you are in the middle one now
[Master] I will give INdigo one chance at an INtution check
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: INU check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!
Ilero (TMO)] (TMO applauds)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (finally)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (hooray!)
[Master (to Lisa only)] Indigo gets a jolt, they were along a path jus south of here, where that cloud came and attacked people, destrying thigns
[Master (to Lisa only)] when leaving to the rive after bag of clouds
[Indigo (Lisa)] Wait a minute ...
[Indigo (Lisa)] It looks different because there isn't so much snow around but when Hugh and I walked back from the Lodge to the city, we were south of here on a path
[Indigo (Lisa)] And there was this weird purple cloud
Ilero (TMO)] Purple?
[Indigo (Lisa)] It was big but on the ground
[Indigo (Lisa)] And it made noises and looked like it was eating everything it went through
[Indigo (Lisa)] We hid and watched it go by
[Ilero]] (TMO) looks confused.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Never figured out what that thing was
Ilero (TMO)] Carnivorous purple cloud?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well .. we didn't see it eat anyone
Ilero (TMO)] (need to go afk so I can read kids to bed)
[Indigo (Lisa)] But it just pushed through knocking things down and it kind of sounded like it ate some people or something
[Indigo (Lisa)] Like it was alive but wasn't or ... I don't know
[Indigo (Lisa)] We didn't want to find out
Indigo (Lisa) takes spyglass to look to see if there were towers on the other hills like Ilero asked
[Master] does not find any
[Indigo (Lisa)] (so this tower would not be in an east or west direction? going there would out us off course?)
[Master] yes off course is to the north
[Indigo (Lisa)] (does it look like a mage tower or a military tower or a castle tower?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: KNO check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!
[Master] watch tower, or signal tower
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hmmm Didn't we fly by some watch towers when we were going to visit Domvile? Maybe it's just the Duke's tower
[Master] light goes off, this is north not south
[Indigo (Lisa)] (I have no sense of direction - is north in domville or Cordrawn Hills)
[Master] south would be duke's
[Master] and so
[Master] not human
[Indigo (Lisa)] (thank you for helping me)
[Indigo (Lisa)] It's a Cordrawn Hills tower!!
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Branwyn "Do dragons build towers?"
[Indigo (Lisa)] "Or do they pay someone to build them towers with all their treasure?"
Indigo (Lisa) thinks about dragons hiring stone masons
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs a ittlle "I suppose it would depend on the dragon"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But I do not think dragons are the only inhabitants of the Cordrawn Hills. There must be people there too.
[Master] Time of Day: 11:00 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Man {Early Spring} 5th, 1266 TGR.
[Master] Time of Day: 12:00 PM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Man {Early Spring} 5th, 1266 TGR.
[Master] spring? ideas?
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] blank
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Tiberius, was this tower on the maps?
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (guess i could do that spell to find something and picture scrolls)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (far as geography, no idea)
[Master] look at ranges
[Master] before casting
Lisa is receiving the map 07...
Lisa has received the map 07.
Lisa is receiving the map 01...
Lisa has received the map 01.
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] 120 yards
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] Snezana casts a spell against : Locate Object - Priest: For 8 hours, I can detect the direction to an item of my choosing as long as it is within (60+(6*10)) 120 yards.
[Master] that covers all of the ruins
Snezana (SpringDiesel) imagining scrolls, turning very, very slowly in a circle
[Master] and after about 20 minutes of slowing turning and looking up and down
Snezana (SpringDiesel) attentive for any feeling that tells me what direction the scrolls are in
[Master] no tingling for scrolls
Snezana (SpringDiesel) sighs
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] no, sorry, i don't feel it
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] no scrolls around here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well it was a good try.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it is noon game time?)
[Master] yes
[Master] have been in this area for about an hour and a half so far
[Master] have not found anything other than ruins
[Master] your choices are easier qucker path into the woods for west location or deeper into hills for eastern location
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (easier quicker path is my vote - get these done before tackling a long one)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (easier, quicker sounds like a bad idea)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] LOL!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (i was thinking a sure trap)
Ilero (TMO)] (back)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I was just thinking it would suck to pick the hard one have it take forever and be a bust and find out if we just went a little way over here we would have found it)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (tmo's vote)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (east or west)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (that's a very good argument)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (or it could be no matter what we pick Bob will make the loot in the last place we look)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
Ilero (TMO)] (easy path with carts)
[Master] chuckles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (are you okay with taking the quick jaunt first Spring?)
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] (yup)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This place doesn't seem to be our lost scroll location. Should be camp here though and start off again at first light?
Ilero (TMO)] Make sense.
[Master] is a day and a half to the other place in the forest
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and let Bob get some sleep too)
[Master] I should be playing next week
[Master] if Michael is just water and does not knock out power
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's ok with me - this way if Michael and Mario are in next week and have some ideas we will still be here and then we all leave again together)
[Master] will hit us again on thurs or frid
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Michael? 2 M storms?)
[Master] same storm
[Master] making a big circle
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Matthew)
[Master] ahh
[Master] see
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] although
[Master] long night
[Master] week
[Snezana (SpringDiesel)] i've heard Nicole is right on his heels
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you do need to sleep)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh that's not good)
[Master] I fly out on Sat morning
Ilero (TMO)] more rain for us here, I guess
[Master] crosses fingers
[Lisa] oh forgot about monterrey
[Lisa] how early?
[Master] no way to remember
Ilero (TMO)] (sounds like Friday might need to be a short night, if not skipped)
[Master] nah
[Lisa] you could fly late - you get 3 hours
[TMO] storm in front, flight behind.
[Master] will want a break and do this
[Master] like tonight
[Master] was a good game
[Master] even if I am slow
[Lisa] you were fine
[TMO] hook up a microphone and speech-to-text software so you don;'t have to type
[Master] nods might do that nezxt
[Master] ok night all
[TMO] take care!
[Master] will post tomorrow
[Lisa] see you all next week
[SpringDiesel] gnite!
[Lisa] goodnight
[TMO] cya
