[Master] Hello there

[JohnA] hello

[Master] How has the week been?

[JohnA] not bad

[JohnA] just trying to change my text

[Master] feel free

[JohnA] what about you

[Master] I was off today

[Master] so only had to go to work once

[Master] rolls my eyes

[Master] working tomorrow

[Master] all day then Sunday off

[Master] to watch the storm

[Master] should be a small thing

[JohnA] so was I but I took the kids to school (twice) and took mom shopping to three stores

[JohnA] Ah

[JohnA] funny

[Master] have a mostly easy week ahead

[Master] so that is good

[JohnA] did some laundry and straighting of the garage

[JohnA] that is what you think

[Master] should be many hours in the office

[JohnA] the storm before the calm?

[Master] so will be going a bit crazy I am certain

[Lisa] Hello :)

[JohnA] Hey Lisa

[Master] hello there

[JohnA] how was your week Lisa

[Lisa] was good

[Lisa] too hot but good

[JohnA] something to keep you wanting more I guess

[Lisa] yes

[JohnA] cooler here, can't say that generally

[Lisa] I want weather that doesn't cause monstrous fires

[Lisa] I want to wear fuzzy socks and turn on electric blankets

[JohnA] you might have to consider moving

[Lisa] I would love that

[JohnA] don't you work remotely

[Lisa] not always

[JohnA] always a catch

[Lisa] It will be better soon

[Master] one can hope

[Master] and so there was good stuff about the flute thank you Lisa

[Lisa] just searched but you are welcome

[JohnA (to GM only)] Character sheet for [Miranda Paige]] modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Lisa] probably needs more experimenting

[Master] and yes we should also put a note on the magic item page, John you can do that

[Master] to create a bit of history for it

[Master] etc.

[Master] and can put in better description of how it works

[JohnA] I will try

[Lisa] read the chat link sections - what I wrote on the player comm page was a real quick at a glance thing

[JohnA] I was thinking we may want to move or rename the link to the "high level party pack"

[Master] chuckles

[JohnA] not so much different now

[JohnA] unless we can start joining forces

[Master] just wait till TMO starts up his new scouting school

[Master] the old characters are lost to the sands of time

[Master] they never did finish their adventure,

[Master] so there is no way to know what happened back then

[JohnA] I found the log, Kit was at a bar

[JohnA] after that, I understand

[Master] I have just consigned them to history

[Master] fond memories

[Master] after this Era is over

[Master] we are going to be rebuilding what and how and where the characters move forward

[Master] even Mario is looking at a new henchman

[Master] so we will be having high level and low level adventures again

[Lisa] wow - Mario will run 3 characters

[Master] and Lisa will be running a bunch of apprentices ;P

[Master] they keep showing up

[Lisa] not interested

[Master] like a cold

[Lisa] Branwyn needs to fireball them

[Master] LOL

[Lisa] she just wants to be a mage - not a babysitter or a school teacher

Spring has received the map Overland travel.

[Master] it is great

[Master] and hello Spring!

[Spring] hi hi hi

[Lisa] it is insane that people want to follow her when they asks she tells them to go away

[JohnA] She needs a TA

[Lisa] Hi Spring!

[JohnA] Hey spring

[Master] there you go John!

[Lisa] Volunteers very very welcome :)

[Spring] hi BOB, hi Lisa, hi John!

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) raises hand

[Spring] BOB my leave got approved for anniversary game

[Master] YES!

[Lisa] yAY!

[Master] so you will be here on the First?

[Master] driving over? or flying here then driving north?

[Master] and or flying north

[Spring] when I put in for it, I assume I’d be flying straight in

[Master] ok

[Spring] but Johnny canceled the Baltimore trip, so I might turn the FL trip into a road trip, if I can

[Spring] *can

[Spring] depends on resources heh

Carissa has received the map Overland travel.

[JohnA] I did not get the chance to say Hey Carissa... oh wait Hey Carissa

[Carissa] Whoops wrong button. Hi!

[Spring] :-)

[Master] and so we have a new confirmed attendee list of Lisa, John, Mario and Spring

[Master] I expect to add Carissa and TMO to that list

[Lisa] Hi Carissa :)

[Carissa] Carissa, Carissa...depends on the day?

[Spring] hot diggity!

[Carissa] June? Hopefully!

[Master] We are playing Friday June 1st then Saturday June 2nd

[Master] and yes I do apologize for never actually spelling your name right the entire way through a night

[JohnA] When did I confirm?

[Master] LOL at John

[Carissa] Ahahah used to it. Wasn't sure to point it out.

[Spring] usually when flying you get the best rates flying Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I put in for the Thursday prior through the Tuesday after

[Spring] *prior dammit heh

[Master] I am taking the entire week before and week after as vacation

[JohnA] I think I have plans for next weekend

[Lisa] I'll probably be spending extra time out there since I have never been to Miami

[JohnA] we have tickets for Thor and Star Wars

[JohnA] don't go to Miami

[JohnA] pfft

[Lisa] why not?

[Spring] nothing wrong with Miami :-) Ft. L is also very good

[Lisa] never been - should be a nice visit

[JohnA] Ft Lauderdale is much more .. cool

[JohnA] Pompano is nice

[Spring] I like to go to Ft. L and ride the water taxi

[Spring] I like to go to Miami and wander around

[JohnA] depends what you like I guess

[Carissa] Miami is warm. Warm is good.

[Spring] but I didn't get many chances

[Master] yes to Carissa you should poke, stab, make fun of, etc. how I slaughter things like that

[JohnA] All of South Florida is warm and the beaches run up and down both sides [Spring] true dat

[Lisa] don't care about beaches - we have those at home :)

[Master] the Goodyear Blimp rides?

[Lisa] thinking more Miami as a different cultural atmosphere

[Spring] airboat rides

[Lisa] we have a blimp too

[Master] alligators out in the Glades

[Lisa] jeez

[Carissa] Ahh true

[Carissa] Alligators can be fun.

[Spring] mangrove hammock parks

[Spring] I forgot the name of that one really good one

[JohnA] esp when you are riding your bike ;;point to Bob::

[Master] feels like forever to have been on a bike out there

[Master] was 2015

[JohnA] time flies when you work in the future

[Master] this is true

[Spring] did you know one came after Ian while he was fishing out on the canal by our old house?

[JohnA] anyone else catch Bob's pod cast

[Master] wow no I did not Spring

[Master] not my podcast, just being interviewed

[Spring] Ian got away but it was scary

[Lisa] I downloaded - have to listen this weekend

[JohnA] you got him to shut up, he was geeking out

[Lisa] and that is very scary

[Spring] I did not catch the interview

[JohnA] did you add a link on your web page yet?

[Master] no

[Master] just on the social media posts

[Master] but we have four of the female spell casters here

[Master] and John and Spring did not get to contribute to the conversations last week

[JohnA] I did so

[Master] so we can continue with the end of the first watch

[Master] chuckles

[JohnA] I was .. inspired. wanted to get that off my chest for so long

[Spring] looking at player communication right now

[JohnA] in character discussion

[Spring] heh, I guess I have a lot of catching up to do

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we were talking about how Branadarus' mother is 267 yrs. old and a witch and we get to meet her in a few days and what that means)

[Spring] I see a mention of charm human or animal and suddenly remembered Kenna befriended some animal early on, but I can't remember who

[JohnA] what is the code for adding a bookmark?

[Master] you mean an anchor?

[Master] pound sign then a word for the anchor

[JohnA] oh, that what you call it, sure

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we were also talking about how to protect Sam and perhaps Teb from being a little too interesting to a powerful witch who is into longevity spells)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and how evil is that)

[Master] or hashtag if you are too young to know what a pound sign is

[Master] :)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and can 1 charm spell protect you from someone casting another)

[Carissa] (Thanks for summarizing! Finishing dinner)

[JohnA] #Lady's Watch

[Master] has to be all one word

[Master] no spaces

[Master] or punctuation

[JohnA] oh ok

[Master] Carissa has lots of good examples

[Carissa] #anchorahoy!

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (he said no punctuation

[Carissa] (And forget to get back to you John - not sure if that's what I was thinking, but good thought!)

[Carissa] #killjoy

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] heee heee

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] maybe now is not the best time to ask but are we supposed to deliver Sam to someone or somewhere?

TMO has joined the game on Fri Oct 27 19:37:03 EDT 2017

TMO is receiving the map Overland travel...

TMO has received the map Overland travel.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi TMO)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (Hello TMO)

[Spring] hi TMO!

[TMO] (sorry I'm late)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We're not delivering him anywhere

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He chose to travel with us after finding out about his parentage

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think he knows what he wants

[Master] and hey there TMO

Miranda Paige (JohnA) (to Carissa only)] did you notice I put brackets in Miranda's name so there is a link in the chat history

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Which is why I think he is vulnerable to manipulation

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Have food and drink. Am ready.)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hi TMO!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He has always been protected by Prince Loplin

[Master] Kenna Westfoot moved 47'02".

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] so we don't introduce him to the witch, er sorry, your future mother in law

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] too soon?

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa) (to JohnA only)] I see that now. Good idea. Hmm, might need to, too...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm not sure we have a choice any more. He has been told that the Queen may help him

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And Tiberius may have already alerted his mother

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] help him what? You just said he does not know what he wants?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If we does wish to make a claim he will need help

MarioCS has joined the game on Fri Oct 27 19:42:05 EDT 2017

MarioCS is receiving the map Overland travel...

MarioCS has received the map Overland travel.

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He can't just go strolling into Terraguard and demand it

Marisu (TMO)] Does the Queen have any daughters she might want to see moving onto a throne?

[Spring] hi Mario!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have no idea Marisu

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hi Mario!)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (hello Mario, you’re late)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi Mario!)

[MarioCS] Hello Hello!

[MarioCS] reading above

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This was supposed to be an exercise in giving Sam options

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And it still is

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Lesson 1 how not to rule

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] or how to rule for a long time?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (what did Miranda have to drink)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have a day or two before we get to Cornelia so perhaps some of you might take some time to give him counsel

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha no clue. Is she sharing?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He understands royalty very well already as ward of Prince Loplin

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ward)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Do you think Sam would venture into the world unprepared? I wonder if he has something like your ring.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (I think she would but just in the zone)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ahh so Miranda and Branwyn are drinking the same thing...)

Marisu (TMO)] I will take him aside and give him some warnings of what we might face.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would be nice of you

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I will ask Hoffman to tell him of his experience with Fate

[Branwyn (Lisa)] My conversations with Sam have been friendly but not too personal

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles a little at Miranda

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I think I have him mostly under control, it should not be too bad

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (is it really 7:30 PM in-world?)

[Master] yes to Spring, this is the first watch of the night

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (thanks)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (it looks like everybody is still up)

[Master] no the men are sleeping

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (just the girls)

[Master] only the women are up

[Master] Shur

[Master] Kenna

[Master] Branwyn

[Master] Shi

[Master] Miranda

[Master] Marisu

Marisu (TMO)] (because somehow only women are spellcasters in our little band)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (well okay then)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] and Michaels'

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Neith?

[Master] Neith

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] ()

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) listens while washing her spare undies and stockings

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (cannot be idle)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (spares?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (Kenna always carries spares)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Someone is prepared)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That was basically all I wanted to say for the moment. It is difficult sometimes to get time to speak somewhat privately

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (well one set of spares heh)

[MarioCS] (never know when you’re gonna see something super scary)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I certainly appreacte it

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (or eat something unhygienic by accident)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Agreed.

[Master] other ideas?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Drink and be merry!)

[Master] comments or plans?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Well, can I ask one thing Branwyn?

Marisu (TMO)] In an emergency, we could try charming the witch.

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) shivers

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Of course

[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles at Kenna. "Only in an emergency, Kenna. Not just because it's convenient."

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Have you even started a conversation with Lord Branadarus, where you will be settling, as much as you may settle

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Charm a witch? I doubt that'd be easy...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well that conversation may be coming sooner than I had planned, but not yet

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) nods not sure what to say

[Master] when you are done feel free to assign a second and third watch

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] will there be more diplomatic postings?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] or was the one an unusual thing?

[Master] and that is an excellent question

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (Kel on second Hoffman on third)

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) wringing out the clothes and draping over the bushes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what diplomatic postings?)

[JohnA] hat is two fighters

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) gesturing back toward Dryad's

[JohnA] Branadarus on 2nd? Ilero on third?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I only met all of you because you were made ambassador. will you be ambassador somewhere else again?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh! I certainly hope not!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think I have more than done my duty on that front

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] you did a good job, accomplished all goals from what I hear

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) smiles

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] as a mercenary contract, it seems to have been a good long term job

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I thought Ilero second; for night vision team)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I didn't start any wars or ruin relations with any kingdoms so I think I did well enough

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But it was not a dragonslayer contract

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (sure swap Ilero and Brand)

[Master] a much higher goal than our current administration can claim

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (hey hey)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] not per se but .. when was the last official contact? Do we need to get the word out again?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] can I help with that

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) looks startle she said that out loud

Marisu (TMO)] (hah. If Marisu had a fortune, she could hire the Dragonslayers to restore her family name. :P)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You resigned from the Dragonslayers Miranda

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I think I’m caught up)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you are interested in getting mercenary work that is fine

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But you made your opinions on the other quite clear

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think it is time to wake the next watch

Branwyn (Lisa) heads over to the sleeping camp

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) sloshes the pan of water into the dark and heads back

[Master] so Hoffman and Ilero are second?

[Master] Kel and Branadarus on third?

[JohnA] I am back at the keyboard.

[JohnA] Kel and Ilero on 2nd

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Originally was Ilero/Kel, but whichever those individuals want)

[Master] ok

[Master] so Mario?

[Master] TMO?

[MarioCS] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kel (MarioCS)] doesn’t matter

[Master] so then Kel and Ilero

[Master] wake up

[Master] and look around

[Master] realizing that all the women were up

[Master] talking

Ilero (TMO)] (bargy blargy boog)

[Master] and now the men wake up

[Master] as they all head to bed

[Ilero]] (TMO) wonders what that was all about.

[Master] just because you are heading into a Kingdom ruled by a witch?

[Kel (MarioCS)] wow, those are tiny stockings

[Master] whose husband is dead

[Master] and previous husband is dead

[Master] and previous husband is dead

[Master] and the women are talking behind the men's backs

[JohnA] now you sound like a set up

Ilero (TMO)] (they're taking notes)

[Master] I cannot imagine what you are thinking

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (So she DID have many husbands. Noted)

[Master] 5 in total

[JohnA] I am sure some of them die of mostly natural causes

[Master] but of course that is OOC right now

[JohnA] d

[Master] and so Kel? Ilero? anything this watch?

[Kel (MarioCS)] we didn’t roll yet

Ilero (TMO)] (plot on striking out on our own and forming a male paradise, with peace and harmony for all men?)

[Master] chuckles

[JohnA] how without women?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (You...read Lord of the Flies, right?)

Ilero (TMO)] (those were boys, who didn't know what they were doing)

[Master] lol

Ilero (TMO)] (young girls would have done just as poorly)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] )lol)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (they were going to make a movie of that)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha reading one that one now. They girls actually did make a paradise ;) )

Ilero (TMO)] (I would not like to see that)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (women's groups were outraged)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] ( Beauty Queens, if you want to read it)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Very funny)

Ilero (TMO)] (not really)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not sure it's still in production)

[Master] Mario is very quiet tonight

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (No clue, but that's how I found out about the book. Guess we'll see?)

[JohnA] he just got back in town

[Kel (MarioCS)] (didn’t read Lord of the Files, perusing the SparkNotes now)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (movie I heard was to make the girls lord of the flies - like)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not happy peaceful)

Ilero (TMO)] (it's one of those classic books that will always be an important piece of literary history as long as it's required high school reading.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I didn't read more than it being female. That...misses the point if it's just swapping genders...)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yup. Not my favorite to read, for sure)

[Master] and so Kel and Ilero pass the watch quietly and in peace?

[Kel (MarioCS)] is that our choice?

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero will practice his thief skills. iirc, he's got one level of skills to learn)

[Master] almost always is

[Kel (MarioCS)] then I choose that

Ilero (TMO)] (Ke can chat him up if he wants to)

[Kel (MarioCS)] the peace part

[Master] grins

[Kel (MarioCS)] So why do you think ALL the women were pulling guard? Just a few would have worked

[Master] what does Kel think about the idea of having a long lived person with him

[Master] taking him to the witch

[Ilero]] (TMO) looks over at them. "Not know. Branwyn, Jenn, Marisu, Miranda... planning, probly."

[Kel (MarioCS)] Planning? it’s a guided walk to the kingdom, seems straight forward

[Kel (MarioCS)] Branadarus knows these parts, and everyone knows him, too

Ilero (TMO)] We gots Sam, Branwyn meeting Branadarus mot'er, t'ey also all magic people. Lots could talk about t'ere.

[Kel (MarioCS)] oh, I suppose, she seems awfully old, for a human that it. how can that be?

[Kel (MarioCS)] are witches always bad people?

Ilero (TMO)] T'ere some back home, not bad people, but not someone have over for dinner.

Kel (MarioCS) thinks about that " I see"

[Kel (MarioCS)] well, I can't imagine she would want to harm us, since we have been babysitting her son al this time

[Master] john hit enter

Ilero (TMO)] Branadarus seem okay person. Okay people not often come from bad parents.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (test)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Sorry; internet acting up tonight)

Kel (MarioCS) smirks at Ilero

[Master] and Mario and TMO you can pass the watch to the next when you wish

[Kel (MarioCS)] wow, look at the time

Ilero (TMO)] 'Bout time go bed?

Lord Branadarus (Master) wrapped around Branwyn

[Kel (MarioCS)] the moon is right about there. let’s get the next watch

Kel (MarioCS) shakes Hoffman " wake up sleepyhead, you’re next"

Ilero (TMO)] Hokay. Hye get Shur.

Hoffman (JohnA)] wakes up

Hoffman (JohnA)] oh, hey Kel, anything to report?

[Ilero]] (TMO) wakes up Shurkural. "You feel hokay take watch?"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (brb)

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Shurkural]] (TMO) yawns. "Yeah, I think so. Had a hard time falling asleep, but I did eventually."

[Master] so Shur and Hoffman

Hoffman (JohnA)] you think we should wake his highness Shur?

[Kel (MarioCS)] all quiet, no issues for us

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) nods

[Kel (MarioCS)] have fun you two

Hoffman (JohnA)] good sleep than for you

[Shurkural]] (TMO) winks and smiles at Kel. "Always, sugar."

Shurkural (TMO)] We can wake him if you want to. Or let him and Bran have their cuddle time, and just wake him first if we need him?

Hoffman (JohnA)] I am not so sure about always, does that sound funny to you

Hoffman (JohnA)] I don't feel right waking him, nor using your nickname as a .. what kind of word is Sure?

Hoffman (JohnA)] Maybe I should call you Shurkural

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Shurkural]] (TMO) shrugs. "It don't bother me none. Either is fine."

[Master] Sam moved 24'00".

[Sam (Master)] Oh hello Shur

[Sam (Master)] sorry

Hoffman (JohnA)] I am.. I figure you’re ok going to visit a witch that out lives her husbands?

[Sam (Master)] was just walking

[Sam (Master)] could not sleep

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) nods to Sam

Shurkural (TMO)] Lord Sam. You're welcome to join us, if you want.

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) keeps eye out for trouble

Sam (Master) walks over and sits on a nearby stump

Hoffman (JohnA)] [Hoffman]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!

Hoffman (JohnA)] (he must be a doppelganger)

Shurkural (TMO)] What's on your mind tonight?

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) nervously paces

Sam (Master) shrugs

[Sam (Master)] I am farther away from home then I ever have been

[Sam (Master)] no one knows where I am

[Sam (Master)] well I suppose that someone does by now

[Sam (Master)] but they cannot catch up to us

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) I know

Shurkural (TMO)] You feeling homesick?

[Sam (Master)] Where is home?

[Sam (Master)] Hightower?

Shurkural (TMO)] Where you grew up, I guess.

[Sam (Master)] Terraguard City?

[Sam (Master)] or Jarvis?

[Sam (Master)] where is Jarvis? a barbarian kingdom some place over the edge of the world

[Sam (Master)] or the center of the world in Terragaurd?

[Sam (Master)] or home in Dryads Lair?

[Shurkural]] (TMO) looks over at Hoffman. "What's that saying again? Home is where the heart is?"

[Sam (Master)] Before I knew that I was meant for city council meetings

[Sam (Master)] and entertaining visitors

[Sam (Master)] now?

Hoffman (JohnA)] you sound like quite the traveler, and Shur is correct, maybe the road is your home

[Sam (Master)] what do I do?

Sam (Master) laughs

[Sam (Master)] this is the first time I have left Dryads Lair in my life

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) slaps head

Hoffman (JohnA)] Oh, so not traveler

Shurkural (TMO)] You got a girl back there?

Hoffman (JohnA)] What do you feel is your guiding force? Family?

Hoffman (JohnA)] or that

[Sam (Master)] I was encouraged to be single and open

[Sam (Master)] to give as many options as possible

[Sam (Master)] I do not have a family

[Sam (Master)] other than Prince Loplin

[Shurkural]] (TMO) smirks. "That don't mean you had to avoid the ladies, did it?"

Sam (Master) sad chuckle no

[Sam (Master)] I did not avoid them

[Shurkural]] (TMO) grins. "Good. So, you got a girl back there? Even if not a serious one?"

Sam (Master) shakes head

[Sam (Master)] no

[Sam (Master)] never for more than a month or three

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) walks back and forth, looking around

Shurkural (TMO)] So not completely alone, at least. Maybe keep your eye open for a fling on the road while we're out here. Sow your wild oats some.

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) walks back

Hoffman (JohnA)] I think what she is trying to say is be open to options

Shurkural (TMO)] Don't worry about the future too much. Take a little time for yourself.

Shurkural (TMO)] Yeah, that too.

Hoffman (JohnA)] not just with the company you keep

[Shurkural]] (TMO) grins.

Hoffman (JohnA)] there is big world outside that big city, and it is vastly different all over the place

[Sam (Master)] and what is the point of that?

Shurkural (TMO)] (I don't think this is the couple you want to go to for life advice. ;) )

Hoffman (JohnA)] the point is you can find your own point or find someone to make the point for you

Hoffman (JohnA)] p

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you may have a point there)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (smiles)

Shurkural (TMO)] Besides, you came with us so you could figure out what you wanted, right?

Hoffman (JohnA)] I found someone, more than one, but someone to guide me

Hoffman (JohnA)] wait , that is why you’re with us

Hoffman (JohnA)] whose idea was that

[Sam (Master) (to MarioCS only)] nods slowly

[Sam (Master)] I hope so

Sam (Master) nods

Hoffman (JohnA)] well you have a number of options here for what life can be like.

Shurkural (TMO)] So.. what DO you want? Money, power, love, family, respect, war, fear.. what?

[Sam (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa0lMzaljTk

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) looks at Shurkural puzzled

Shurkural (TMO)] What?

[Sam (Master)] I should get to bed

[Sam (Master)] Night

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Great song choice!)

Sam (Master) goes to curl up for an hour

Hoffman (JohnA)] Sam, just think about what makes you happy

Shurkural (TMO)] Good night, sweet prince. Sleep well.

Hoffman (JohnA)] Shurkural, do you think life is all about a goal

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) looks around again

[Shurkural]] (TMO) gives a small smile. "Honey, I ain't got any goal, except maybe killing werewolves. I'm just happy hanging around with this group for now.

Hoffman (JohnA)] that what we should be teaching our young, it's not the goal, it's the path we take

Shurkural (TMO)] But that poor guy doesn't look like having a good time is what he's any good at.

Hoffman (JohnA)] who we take it with

Hoffman (JohnA)] no, not that big a part of his life

Hoffman (JohnA)] but sometimes trying to find fun makes it not fun

Shurkural (TMO)] Maybe he needs a little help then?

Hoffman (JohnA)] I understand but you can't get someone to have fun by saying 'have fun'

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Get him whatever Miranda was drinking)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (that boy needs a good shagnhai)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (prtnd I kn spel)

[Master] and are you ready for the morning?

Shurkural (TMO)] 9sure)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I'm suspicious of the lack of encounters...)

[Master] it is what I live for, to help pour unfournate merfolk like your self

Hoffman (JohnA)] maybe, I don't know they guy and if Miranda heres me giving life advice again, I may need a refresher course

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Us poor unfortunate souls)(

[Master] Time of Day: 07:24 AM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Spe {Early Fall} 12th, 1267 TGR.

Hoffman (JohnA)] life

Lord Branadarus (Master) stretches

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] We are getting closer

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] maybe tomorrow night?

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] if we get a good head start today

Shurkural (TMO)] I hope so, or I'm gonna have a talk with the navigator.

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] are you excited?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Shi'Nynze modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) off to collect whatever needs to be collected

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Kenna Westfoot modified: Notes - CHANGED.

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) packs away the laundry

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified:

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] spells etc. and then moving forward

Shurkural (TMO)] (let me check Marisu's list, see if I want to make changes)

[Master] They are not all that impressed with conversation, true gentlemen avoid it when they can

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) mutters, "Excited is one word for it..."

Shurkural (TMO)] (I thought he was talking to Bran there. That sounds like a question for her. ;) )

[Master] smile

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I thought he was talking to Shur :) )

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Maybe so, but doesn't mean others didn't hear ;) )

[Master] and so moving forward

[Master] it is your last full day before hitting the border of Cornelia

[Master] at some point the next day you will get there

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and the castle is right on the border?)

Shurkural (TMO)] It'll be interesting to see, for sure. We're getting farther and farther from home every day.

[Master] no

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (do they have a wall?)

[Master] around the Kingdom? not that you know of

Shurkural (TMO)] Hey, Kel! How much farther to where you guys come from?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (okay - just checking)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (I bet they have a few towers)

[Kel (MarioCS)] we're going the wrong way to Divaekah

[Kel (MarioCS)] it’s behind us a ways

[Shurkural]] (TMO) looks puzzled. "Oh. I thought back that way past Dryads Lair was Drillian."

Hoffman (JohnA)] still we are walking forward

[Kel (MarioCS)] we're about this far north, but straight back east

[Kel (MarioCS)] west*

[Kel (MarioCS)] (do we know compass directions like that?)

[Master] yes

[Master] sun sets in the west

[Master] rises in the east

[Master] etc.

[Master] and during the day you ride

[Master] and push forward

[Kel (MarioCS)] we would have been there by now, let’s just say

Kel (MarioCS) looks at Shi

[Master] you can talk to who and when you wish

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (roll initiative?)

[Master] grins

[Master] I will handle that for you

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) purposefully ignores Kel

[Master] unless you’re talking leads to more heated debates :)

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) walks up to Sam

Hoffman (JohnA)] Sorry Sam if I was a bit curious last night

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

Hoffman (JohnA)] I just not good talking with more fancy people

Hoffman (JohnA)] interested in learning more but maybe I am not your kind

[Sam (Master)] I am not fancy

[Sam (Master)] well not that fancy

Hoffman (JohnA)] do you feel royal or like you were just told you are royal?

[Sam (Master)] I have always been a prince

[Sam (Master)] a bastard prince

[Sam (Master)] so I suppose yes I have always been royalty

Hoffman (JohnA)] well so is il.. well I guess there are different kinds of royalty. I heard there was a lizard king once.

Hoffman (JohnA)] not sure how royal he was

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Sam (Master)] if he is a king does that make him royalty right?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think so

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Billy felt different after he became king

Hoffman (JohnA)] I guess that is the questions, is every Queen a lady?

[Sam (Master)] then I suppose lizards can be king

[Sam (Master)] who is Billy?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Billy was our bugbear friend Hoffman

[Branwyn (Lisa)] and Sam

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He killed the old king and became the new one

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think he feels royal

Hoffman (JohnA)] sorry I missed that

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] He did get the key to his castle...er, keep.

Hoffman (JohnA)] (or did I)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you did)

Hoffman (JohnA)] But there has to be more than one way to rule. Maybe showing examples of killing to be king is not such a good example

Hoffman (JohnA)] maybe

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) looks over at Miranda

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I always like leaders who listen and then decide

Branwyn (Lisa) shrugs "If you want to be king and aren't of the royal family. Then you really don't have a lot of other options"

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] the ones who decide first usually are no good

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] The elders have more sway than any royalty for us.

[Master] You did miss that John, they were searching for lost scrolls for the church and helped a bugbear that Jilly befriended become King

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shrugs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Every place is different. Elders are elected or are elders because they are older?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.WR-SUM)

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] A bit of both. They have the wisdom to give us direction, but you can't be an Elder without respect.

[Kel (MarioCS)] Maybe that’s why the witch is Queen

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (....says me as I try to remember what we wrote on that...)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Or an Elder without the clan supporting you as Elder.

Hoffman (JohnA)] Who you are Sam, is more than a name and a title, I think I was trying to make that clear

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Well she IS elderly...technically....

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] We are all more than our titles, Titles can be helpful to convince others to look at us a particular way

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] but we can always be who we want to be

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) giggles " she sure is"

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And Billy became King on 5/13/17)

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) looks at Aunt Jen

[Kel (MarioCS)] Here you go, Sam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bGjlvukgHU

Hoffman (JohnA)] (RPFL)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (ROFL)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] LOL

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha!!)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (I knew it before I watched it)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (wow, you’re good at memorizing URL's, huh?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (It does seem to be a Disney-filled night)

[Marisu]] (TMO) squeezes Sam's shoulder. "Your life so far has been fairly straight-forward. You knew your future and what it contained. Now you've discovered that you have many more options than you ever dreamed of. Some confusion is understandable. Take your time. Think about it. Decide which of them you do and don't like. We're here, you have many different opinions to ask and sample."

Hoffman (JohnA)] (just posting a video for Sam was funny enough, but I was on the same wave length)

[Kel (MarioCS)] :0)

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) casually walks up to Branwyn

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) clears throat

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I just want to help you any way I can

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I know

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I know following you, and Hoffman will get me where I want to go

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And where is that?

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] to be great leader

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] like you

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs loudly

Marisu (TMO)] (brb again)

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then you are definitely following the wrong person

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I like being behind you following you

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I think you do very well

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I know it's not willingly for you, but people follow you

Lord Branadarus (Master) winks

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (brb)

Branwyn (Lisa) gives Tiberius a gentle push

[Carissa] I am away from the keyboard.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] you have gained the respect of a number of people

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Respect is always wanted but I really do feel that I follow more than I lead

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There are loyalties that I have and so I follow when asked based on that

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I cannot expect others to share mine but it is what I do

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) nods in deep thought

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Speaking of loyalties and following ...

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (in another universe it will be called servant leadership)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Tiberius, I have been meaning to discuss something with you.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Ummmm ...

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] anything dear

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) allows Branwyn to walk ahead

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If a Queen asks for a subject to do something, it is difficult to say no, is it not?

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] certainly

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I mean if your mother wished someone to do something she would expect a yes, wouldn't she?

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] most likely there will not be an option

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And so it would be like that for the Queen of Drillian and me I believe.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There has been talk.

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I think that Mother is not any worse than any other Queen or King

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We haven't discussed setting a date for our marriage

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] it is just that Mother has so much more experience that she finds a way to present things that you will do

Lord Branadarus (Master) smiles

Lord Branadarus (Master) takes Branwyn's hand

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well except when we thought we might die but that didn't happen

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] the next church is fine with me

[MarioCS] I am away from the keyboard.

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs "I don't think we need to make it that suddenly

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] so tonight then?

Lord Branadarus (Master) winks

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But the Queen and the new ambassador have implied that there is a political marriage waiting for me when I return to Drillian

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I am certain that Mother will love you

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] and we can handle that when it comes

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] We will do some quest

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] and solve their problem for them

[Branwyn (Lisa)] When we return, the Queen will want an audience

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] You will give her one of course

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think a quest will solve that

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes and if I am not married and cannot say no to my Queen...

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] then we have Marisu marry whoever the lucky man is

[Branwyn (Lisa)] .me sighs

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] (that is what happens when you are AFK)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I just wanted to tell you

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] yes I know you love me

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I love you too

Lord Branadarus (Master) silly grin

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't want to bring you all the way to my home and have the first order of business be that the Queen marries me off to some disgusting Bholpel or something of that sort

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I can slay any Phopel, I do not even know that sort of monster that is, but I will slay them for you

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you

[MarioCS] I am back at the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They are swamp denizens who are fighting our Queen.

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Then they need slaying

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] very easy

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] see how you tie everything up so nicely

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] that is why I love you

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is just something we need to think about as we get closer to Drillian is all

Lord Branadarus (Master) nods

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I will keep my eyes open

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I left my family because they wanted to force me into a marriage.

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I went out to adventure

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am not looking forward to revisiting the issue.

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] brb

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry for taking that space - needed to get that out there)

[JohnA] (understood)

[Kel (MarioCS)] perfect space for it

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (nodding)

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] and so the rest of the day?

[Master] anything else to make sure you talk about with the group?

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] tomorrow you will be in the Kingdom

Hoffman (JohnA)] so nice to be in civilized land

Hoffman (JohnA)] is this really un claimed land here?

[Master] This is various dukedoms, earldoms, etc.

[Master] as you travel through

Marisu (TMO)] countdoms

[Master] The Earldom of Venier was the mostly abandoned place

[Kel (MarioCS)] How many countdoms?

[Master] then the Mark of Phrygia

[Master] then three more places over the last two days

[Master] small little places

[JohnA] but under the Queen or completely separate, where does she draw the line so to speak

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] the Kingdom of Cornelia

[Master] so anything else today?

Marisu (TMO)] (so, when do we cause the Chaos?)

[Master] want to be sure you all have the chance to talk before entering the kingdom

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Which chaos?)

[JohnA] just making good time, being careful for moles

Marisu (TMO)] (Marisu needs to talk with Sam still, if we want to do that for now)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Go for it)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes)

[Master] this would be the time for it

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ask if he has some kind of protection!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)

Marisu (TMO)] (are we riding in a wagon or walking?)

Marisu (TMO)] (or both)

[Master] both

[JohnA] from Shur, that sounds like a plan

Marisu (TMO)] Lord Sam, would you walk with me for a bit?

[Sam (Master)] smiles and moves over to Marisu

Marisu (TMO)] Are you enjoying your journey so far?

[Sam (Master)] it is good to be out of the city

[Sam (Master)] and to travel with experienced people

[Sam (Master)] although I do miss Indigo

[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles. "Yes, he is an interesting and valuable companion."

Marisu (TMO)] Have you heard any of the conversations about Lord Branadarus' home?

[Sam (Master)] I have heard bits and pieces

[Sam (Master)] Cornelia is not part of the countries that Dryads Lair Principality is ward over

[Sam (Master)] so I do not know much of them

Marisu (TMO)] I see. Lord Branadarus is of the opinion that his mother would love to "help" you. We've talked about it among ourselves, and we're a bit worried about how she might try to do this, and whether or not you would actually want the help of a 250 year old witch queen.

[Master] Don't it always seem you don't know what you've got till you till it's gone

Marisu (TMO)] We don't phrase it like that where Lord Branadarus can hear us, of course.

[Marisu]] (TMO) gives Sam a small smile.

[Sam (Master)] Aunt Jennevive seems to think that she will have some well thought out ideas on what the world holds for me

[JohnA] (paving a pair of dice?)

[Sam (Master)] and Aunt Jennevive has warmed me to be careful of others trying to control me

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (heh punny)

[Marisu]] (TMO) gives a small laugh. "Aunt Jennevive has some different viewpoints on what the world is like. The frustrating part is how often she's right."

[Sam (Master)] She has told me that Branwyn and Her are peas in a pod

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Frustrating is putting it nicely)

Marisu (TMO)] I don't know that I'd repeat that where Branwyn could hear you.

[Sam (Master)] and she has said that I cannot trust anyone other than myself

[Sam (Master)] she told me that she would be right but that I could not trust that it would be right

[Sam (Master)] which was not helpful

Marisu (TMO)] No, I can see not.

[JohnA] OOC !!! (so how can you trust her and by that trust yourself as she has said)

[Sam (Master)] I think she wants me to trust myself

Marisu (TMO)] I think you can trust most of us to give you our honest opinions, but not necessarily that it would be the right thing for you.

[Sam (Master)] and that Branwyn and her can help me choose what is right

Marisu (TMO)] Has any of the advice you've been given sound right to you yet? Has any of it helped you any?

[Sam (Master)] so far it has been mostly confusing with some ideas on how to move forward

[JohnA] [Hoffman]] moved 24'11".

Marisu (TMO)] None of us know your mind. So we can only offer what we would do if we were in what we think your situation is. Does that make sense? It also sounds to me like you don't know your own mind yet either.

[Sam (Master)] Do you know my mind?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (when Kenna gets her turn to give Sam advice, she's gonna tell him to eat a lot of greens.)

[Sam (Master)] that is the problem with living with magic people

[Sam (Master)] you might know what I am thinking and I might be thinking because you want me to

[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles at him. "No Sam. I'm many things, but I'm not a mind-reader."

[JohnA] (smiles at Spring)

Marisu (TMO)] I am good at talking to people, but I don't change them, or make them think things using magic.

Sam (Master) smiles

[Sam (Master)] Everyone says they want what is best for me

[Sam (Master)] well, except for this one girl Orlean

[Sam (Master)] she said she wanted to sleep with me so she could steal the silverware

[Sam (Master)] she thought if she was good in bed I would let her do what she wanted

[Sam (Master)] at least she was honest

[Marisu]] (TMO) blushes and laughs. "I don't think I want to know the rest of that story, do I?"

[Sam (Master)] She was not good in bed

[Marisu]] (TMO) ducks her head and looks at the ground for a few paces.

[Sam (Master)] walking

Marisu (TMO)] We do, I mean, none of us except possibly Jennevive, want to use you for any purpose. So we have no reason not to help guide you. Jenn has said she's more interested in Branwyn, however. We don't know Lord Branadarus' mother, so we're concerned over how she may try to help you, as he has said he's sure she would want to.

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) holds on to Hoffman's arm for a bit

[Sam (Master)] Well when we get there we will meet her and then we will have to make our choices

Sam (Master) shrugs

[Sam (Master)] Do I really have a choice?

Marisu (TMO)] Yes, well said. And of course you have a choice.

Lord Branadarus (Master) leans over to Jilly

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Do you think they are talking about me again?

Marisu (TMO)] You have many choices. Maybe too many of them.

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] or do you think they are all worried about Mother

[Jilly (Master)] Everyone is worried about your mother

[Jilly (Master)] they are all worked up because they have not met a Queen before

[Jilly (Master)] well Branwyn has

[Jilly (Master)] and Ilero too

[Jilly (Master)] Miranda did but she does not remember that she did

[Jilly (Master)] and Jennevive should be calmer

[Jilly (Master)] why I am not sure

[Jilly (Master)] she knows the Missus just like we doe

[Jilly (Master)] and then if we do talk to her

[Jilly (Master)] then it will all be fine

[Jilly (Master)] She like cakes right?

[Jilly (Master)] I am making a nice one for her

[Jilly (Master)] but I am not sure if she like berries

[Jilly (Master)] do you think she likes berries in her cakes?

Lord Branadarus (Master) blinks

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Yes

Lord Branadarus (Master) moves over to Branwyn

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Careful. Let Jilly keep talking and next thing you know, we're there)

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Ummm

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I ah think that

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] perhaps

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] well

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes?

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I think Jilly has alternative motives

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jilly is an open book

Marisu (TMO)] (is that anything like ulterior motives? :P)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She keeps nothing hidden

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I think that Jilly wants to impress Mother

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] except the cakes

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] for you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Of course she does

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This is the best way she knows how.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Please don't discourage her. We will find a way to deal with it

Lord Branadarus (Master) laughs

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I do not think mountains could stop her

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes but I am not sure how your mother will handle her.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope with patience

Lord Branadarus (Master) laughs

Lord Branadarus (Master) laughs and laughs

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Jilly Versus Mother

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] we should sell tickets

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is not difficult to see that Jilly's heart is in the right place

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That makes me feel better

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you can laugh about it then everything will be fine

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I have you how can it not be fine

[Master] Time of Day: 07:24 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Spe {Early Fall} 12th, 1267 TGR.

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "I hope so"

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) falls back to Marisu and Sam

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I have a question that's been bugging me I think you both might be able to answer, if you don't mind?

[Marisu]] (TMO) nods her head.

Sam (Master) shrugs

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] How is it your royalty protects themselves from the influence of others? It seems like it'd be easy to do.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It is difficult to do for elves, for many reasons, but humans are...well, they seem easier to manipulate.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] How do you stop corruption?

[Sam (Master)] Is that possible?

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shrugs

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] That is what I'd like to know.

Marisu (TMO)] Caution mostly, I would imagine. Casting spells is not something you can do without others noticing.

[Sam (Master)] I know that if someone where to use magic on me

[Sam (Master)] to make me to something I did not want to do

[Sam (Master)] I would kill that person as soon as I figured it out

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) slight smile, "Easy to say, but if it took you months or years to discover it?"

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Or if you never did?

[Sam (Master)] then how would I know?

Marisu (TMO)] Anti-magic zones would break any such control if the person walked into one. And although not common, I've been in at least one of them myself.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods, "That is useful. Are they common?"

[Sam (Master)] I have never heard of them

Marisu (TMO)] No, they're very expensive. Only powerful wizards can cast them. But who better than royalty to have the resources and the need?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Hmm, which if they do have one, I suppose that also limits their magic...

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I suppose there is no easy answer.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Just hope you notice, prepare yourself, or....well, never find out.

Marisu (TMO)] Most royalty probably aren't magic themselves. Both are typically lifetime disciplines.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] That is why there are court mages, correct?

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

Marisu (TMO)] Right.

[Master] and we come back full circle to Branwyn

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] When royalty visits royalty, do they usually bring their mage?

[Master] being named court mage

[Master] just as she ducks away

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (She saw it coming and ran ;) )

[Marisu]] (TMO) thinks for a moment. "I would say ... not likely, unless the mage is useful as an advisor on whatever topic prompted the visit."

JohnA wonders how the phrase "Not my Queen" might go over

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] So they must hope that whoever they meet has the best intentions? Or they have something to defend against possible magic cast on them?

Marisu (TMO)] Royal visits probably aren't as common as you're thinking. That's why they have ambassadors, after all.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Ah, that's right. I suppose that is a precaution in a way.

Marisu (TMO)] The Queen might travel around Drillian, visiting various lords, and yes, the Court Mage might very well go with her on those. But visiting another Queen or King in their country? Not too often.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It simply seems like it'd be easy to find the right person to manipulate and....

Marisu (TMO)] And besides, mere swords are easier to come by, and just as deadly.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well, you should both be careful, but then, I don't know the subltlies of your politics.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) grins, "True."

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) to Miranda "So if I kill a Bugbear king, does that make me a king?"

Aunt Jennevive (Master) warm chuckles

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

Marisu (TMO)] I'm sure it's happened before, but I suspect court politics might be vicious enough that any such manipulation might be easily uncovered.

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] no one should understand all the subtleties

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] or they would be very bored

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) to Miranda "You certainly would be my Queen"

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It would give them an advantage though, would it not?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Boring, but possibly useful.

Marisu (TMO)] Yes. But I suspect a simple Dispel Magic would also be enough to break a charm, and a lot easier to obtain than an anti-magic zone.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Unless you are Branwyn

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) hides a smile

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Depending on the magic, it may not be quite as simple.

Marisu (TMO)] Magic is never simple, is it?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Also true.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) smiles

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The death of the caster serves as a tool to dispel magic

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not that I am advocating that

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] /warm laugh

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (tool)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] direct and to the point

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Also depending on the caster, it may not be as simple, either.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] like the point of a dagger

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oh no! You lost your L, too??)

Branwyn (Lisa) shrugs "It's true"

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] OH Look!

Lord Branadarus (Master) points

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] we are home

[Master] as sunset falls there is a small tower on the roadway

[Master] and as you approach

[Master] several solders come out and bow

[Master] "Welcome Lord"

Branwyn (Lisa) murmurs "And so it begins"

Hoffman (JohnA)] and fade to black

Lord Branadarus (Master) smiles

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Music for villain is on my playlist right now...just if you were curious)

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Thank you, how are you this evening is all well ?

[Master] and almost magically a coach with four horses pulls up

Lord Branadarus (Master) wry chuckle

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] She is ready for us

Lord Branadarus (Master) walks up to the coach and opens the door

Lord Branadarus (Master) bows to Branwyn

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNudhwEAwfU)

Branwyn (Lisa) blinks

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Welcome to Cornelia

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Welcome to my home

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) under her breath, (E) I think I prefer ours

Lord Branadarus (Master) looking over Branwyn's head

Branwyn (Lisa) looks back at the group and then at Branadarus

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Jilly she will need her things and her books

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So much fuss

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] They can join us as they catch up

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I promise

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) this one is definitely a fixer-uppper

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) grins

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I will see you all very soon

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) If she can send this carriage, why didn’t she sent it to the dock?

[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Jilly you will bring them to us soon I do hope?

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) waves

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Just one of many, many questions...

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (only the Brans are going?)

Branwyn (Lisa) goes to the carriage

Jilly (Master) tugging a heavy chest

Jilly (Master) looks at Kel

[Branwyn (Lisa)] 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888+-.

Hoffman (JohnA)] Let me get that for you Jilly

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hello Kitten?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] Hi kitty!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] kitten

[Kel (MarioCS)] Looks at Jilly

Jilly (Master) jilly hands over the chest with the spell books in it

Marisu (TMO)] Should we recover ours from that before they ride off with it?

[Jilly (Master)] (damn he caught on too fast)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ahaha)

Marisu (TMO)] (gotcha Bob!)

[Marisu]] (TMO) pulls her scrolls out of the chest.

Marisu (TMO)] Miranda, are yours in here too? Which ones are they?

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) just the one pointing

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] nak you

Marisu (TMO)] (we're the only arcane casters, right?)

[Marisu]] (TMO) pulls it out and hands it over to Miranda. "Anything else we need out of here?"

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Believe so)

Marisu (TMO)] (nice try Bob. ;) )

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] What about Neith?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is a priest. She has no books

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Priest)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (no class on her character sheet

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It is only spellbooks in there, right?

Ilero (TMO)] Got one for me in t'ere?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jilly, I need my bag with clothes

Jilly (Master) runs and grabs it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you. You take care of everyone.

[Jilly (Master)] I promise

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) puts chest in coach

Hoffman (JohnA)] be good

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We will see you very soon

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) And safe...

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) waves

Branwyn (Lisa) nods and nervously gets in the carriage

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) So we just wait here then?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I have a bad feeling

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) waits for then to ride away

[Master] and the carriage door closes

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I think I've had a bad feeling for a while now....

[Master] Branwyn and Branadarus are inside

Ilero (TMO)] (and she was never seen again...)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Master] and then it fades into nothing

[Master] no moving forward

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Literally fades into nothing??)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Uhh....

Ilero (TMO)] (you're not supposed to take me literally!)

[Master] just slowly disappears

[Kel (MarioCS)] her picture is now on the side of every wine cask

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] You know Hoffman, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I like that I do not have to meet your parents. You have nothing to hide

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (He had to get you bad for the spellbook catch)

[Master] so what do the rest of you want to do?

[Kel (MarioCS)] "have you seen me?"

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (*back not bad)

[Master] and sorry Lisa does not have a character

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (She can borrow a wolf!)

[Ilero]] (TMO) runs forward to check the area where the carriage was.

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (I have a spare)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Excuse me, guards

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no worries)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] any chance one of you could guide us, we kinda just lost our guide

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oh right. Guards. Good thought!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

[Kel (MarioCS)] Can someone test a small magic spell, like cantrip? see if they even work

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] strangers in a unfamiliar land

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Looking for, well, anything? Odd? Besides the disappearing carriage, I guess?)

[Master] Yes?

[Master] You mean you need help going where?

Marisu (TMO)] Why wouldn't they work, Kel?

[Kel (MarioCS)] (why wouldn’t a carriage appear near the dock? it appeared just inside the boundaries of this land)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Well, we were escorting Lord Branadarus, we do want to catch up with him and not have the locals worry

[Kel (MarioCS)] (not totally sure)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I thought a local soldier might be a nice escort

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Er, right. Looking for...eh, fine. Not sure yet)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] I do not want the locals to question us when we ask which way to the Queen

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well, asking the guards where they went might be a good start, at least.

[Kel (MarioCS)] Well, Shi, we've dropped off the kids. Ready to go home?

[Kel (MarioCS)] just due west, I’m pretty sure

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) raises eyebrow, "You mean leave Branwyn? Without knowing if she's safe?"

[Kel (MarioCS)] She's with Him, in his own country. and we're halfway there anyway

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (E) Have you ever heard a story involving a witch that ended well?

[Kel (MarioCS)] (E) haven’t heard too much about witches to begin with

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shakes head, (E) Now is not the time to leave.

Kel (MarioCS) glares at her, turns away

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze casts a spell against : Detect Magic - Priest: For 1 turn, I can detect magic in a 10'x30' path.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And 10% chance to determine at least sphere)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Cast where carriage disappeared)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Shi'Nynze modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Tower Guard (Master)] no magic left there

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] No magic? How...odd.

[Tower Guard (Master)] Is there something that we can help you with?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Yes. We're curious where our friend was taken?

[Tower Guard (Master)] The Prince?

[Tower Guard (Master)] Home

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] The Mage.

Tower Guard (Master) looks at you as at a small child

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) glares slightly

Marisu (TMO)] Would you please give us directions so that we can follow properly? None of us have been here before.

[Tower Guard (Master)] You were with the Prince

[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles at the guard.

[Tower Guard (Master)] if you were important he would have taken you with him

[Tower Guard (Master)] AHHHH

[Tower Guard (Master)] you just need to follow the road,

Marisu (TMO)] How far is it?

[Kel (MarioCS)] (if it’s yellow, I’m out)

[Tower Guard (Master)] It will lead you to Brundisum

[Tower Guard (Master)] it is right on the river

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Agreed)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (See any scarecrow nearby?)

[Tower Guard (Master)] the Almirantazgo River runs right through it

[Kel (MarioCS)] it got in the carriage

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] (I see a lion)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) whispers to Marisu, "Brudisum? I thought we wanted Cornelia?"

Marisu (TMO)] The country is Cornelia, the town is Brundisum.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Who has the slippers? Don't let the queen catch you)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Thank you kind sir

[Kel (MarioCS)] who has a map? ( or a link to the wkiki page?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Ah.

Marisu (TMO)] About how long will the trip take us?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Can't find a map on the page...)

[Kel (MarioCS)] lol, I do remember an entry for Brudism

[Kel (MarioCS)] no map though

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yep, entries but no maps)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Hopefully not too long...

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (brudism sounds like a belief in being brothers)

[Tower Guard (Master)] (are you asking people?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (or bruddas)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] We should not dally to long, everyone good to continue?

[Tower Guard (Master)] It is night

[Kel (MarioCS)] lol

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I thought they're still talking to the guard)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol to Spring)

Miranda Paige (JohnA)] Good Sir, is it ok if we make camp here?

[Tower Guard (Master)] Camp?

[Tower Guard (Master)] no

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we need to arrange transport. surely there is transport

Tower Guard (Master) points to the Inn just beyond the tower

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] or that

[Tower Guard (Master)] You have a wagon right there, points

[Tower Guard (Master)] what sort of transport do you need?

Marisu (TMO)] (Is the guard just not answering the question of how far away the town is?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (forgot the wagon)

[Tower Guard (Master)] (sorry did not see that)

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) starts heading for Inn

[Miranda Paige]] (JohnA) thinking hopy Jilly has purse

[Tower Guard (Master)] getting to the capital? that is about 45 miles, so I guess about 2 days away

Marisu (TMO)] Thank you for your help.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] So to the inn?

Marisu (TMO)] (if it's night, yes)

[JohnA] sorry, can't make it, think I will be heading to bed myself

[Master] it is night

[Master] you have successfully split the party

[Master] Branwyn is in the capital

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Wooo)

[JohnA] enjoy, catch you all on line till next week

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Night, John!)

[Master] at least to start next week

[Master] and your group is two days away from her

[Kel (MarioCS)] Bye John, and THANKS!!

[TMO] **WE**?? have successfully split the party???!!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] good night!!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hahaha!)

[JohnA] np ttfn

[Lisa] Goodnight John

[Master] grins

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (heh yeah I don't think splitting the party was the party's idea)

JohnA has left the game on Fri Oct 27 23:18:58 EDT 2017

[Lisa] exactly

[TMO] (are we ending here?)

[Master] I was not planning on it

[Carissa] (Dunno)

[Spring] I’m fading. this is unusually late for me

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] All right then. To the inn!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yeah sorry we never got to my experiment...wasn't sure how to bring it up....)

[Master] you are free to try now

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Pfft, still doesn't mean I know how to bring it up :) )

[Master] and now you will have Branwyn with the Witch for a day or more without you

[Master] .......

[Master] dun dun dun

[TMO] (the witch might want to watch out)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Bah, Branwyn can take care of herself. I hope. Also at least she kept her ring)

[Lisa] This is not the first time people have taken Branwyn away

[Master] grins

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And she can maybe teleport if things get too bad?)

[Master] TMO was there

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (From the second floor, at least)

[Spring] nitey nite friends. see you later!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Night, Spring!)

[TMO] night!

[Lisa] Goodnight Spring!

[Kel (MarioCS)] g'nite Spring

Spring has left the game on Fri Oct 27 23:22:21 EDT 2017

[Master] This is where Mario comes forward and saves the day

[Kel (MarioCS)] good night everyone

[TMO] MARIO!!!!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (AHAH)

[Master] so you are in an inn just inside the border of Cornelia

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well too late for Spring, but...)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Jenn, does your charm spell happen to also work on mammals?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I do not concern myself with animals

[Marisu]] (TMO) looks around for an innkeeper.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I prefer to play with minds

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] well I will confess that bodies can be fun

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] looks at Kel

Marisu (TMO)] (stole Shur's line)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) tries not to laugh

Kel (MarioCS) rolls eyes, approaches the front desk

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I'm sure. I simply have last night's conversation on mind. I'd ho to see if charm can be overridden. The horse would be good to try on, but I'd need someone else to charm it, too.

[Lisa] (why not Ilero?)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I think we should charm Sam

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] why do this in half measures?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] He would have to agree, first. And if it doesn't help him, why bother?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But the knowledge could be useful later.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] and if he agrees that negates the reason for doing this?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] why not just attempt to charm him?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] do you not think you are good enough?

[Kel (MarioCS)] um, Sam is right here with us. The witch is not

[Kel (MarioCS)] they left him behind

[Kel (MarioCS)] clearly he's not the one she wants

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I simply am not fond of charming a human.

Marisu (TMO)] Should we maybe postpone this discussion until after we are in a room?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] but you are fond of charming animals?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] that is an interesting perspective on ....

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Befriending.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] perhaps you should speak with Kel more

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But Marisu does have a point.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shakes head

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I personally do not find that sort of thing interesting

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] but Kel might

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] so moving forward

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] shall you cast on Sam?

[Marisu]] (TMO) goes looking for that innkeeper.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Not until we talk to him.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (lol)>>ic<< [Master] so you find a set of rooms on the top floor

[Master] three private rooms

[Master] all for free

Marisu (TMO)] (free is good)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (If it seems too good to be true....)

[Master] it takes them a few moments to move the people staying there out of the rooms

Marisu (TMO)] (if a bit worrying)

[Master] as they get settled in the common room

[Master] then the fires are rebuilt for your group

[Kel (MarioCS)] (they kicked out paying guests to give us their rooms?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (What a quick way to make enemies)

Marisu (TMO)] (are they rebuilt from the bodies of the people who had the rooms before us?)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (how do they know us?)

[Marisu]] (TMO) thanks the staff. "May I ask how you knew about us?"

[Master] The Prince was traveling with you and said you were following him

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Following him...in a good way? Or like, stalkers?)

Marisu (TMO)] Thank you. We're just not used to this kind of service.

[Kel (MarioCS)] ( the carriage was simply invisible, but there?)

Marisu (TMO)] (Ilero checked the location of the carriage, I presume it was gone)

[Master] yes totally gone

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] These rooms seem nice.

Marisu (TMO)] (I've run out of YouTube to watch. sad)

[Kel (MarioCS)] (you reached the end of YouTube? what’s the last video??)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Cat video)

Marisu (TMO)] (don't bother with Mandela effect videos)

[Master] so you have rooms for the night

[Master] and you have lost Branwyn

[Master] anything else you wish to accomplish?

Marisu (TMO)] Okay, now let's discuss charming.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (We put up posters: Lost. If found call this number)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) slight smile

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I'm less certain of it now.

Marisu (TMO)] Why don't you try me?

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXpRxzmawjw

[Master] charming

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If Jenn agrees, she'd have to cast after and see if it overrides it.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But I could hopefully dispel it.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] So if you're willing, and Jenn is willing...

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Isn't that song a repeat from three weeks ago or something?)

Marisu (TMO)] I suspect Jenn is willing for quite a few more things than I am.

Marisu (TMO)] But I'm willing to be your test subject.

[Master] grins at Carissa charming is charming and has not actually happened yet

[Master] and sirens are always appropriate with Branadarus

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha fair enough)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods and looks at Jenn

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] You will have to charm Sam first

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I cannot help you unless you succeed

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] So you will not help unless it is Sam, and only Sam, who is charmed.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Correct?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I fail to see the point of charming Kel

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Or Ilero

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Kel is not going to bend as easily

Marisu (TMO)] (Marisu volunteered)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Why would we choose Marisu?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We did not bring Sam along to be a guinea pig. It is pointless to charm him unless we know the outcome. Marisu has offered to find out what may or may not happen when two charm spells compete.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] please pick someone Shi

Marisu (TMO)] Why does it matter who we test it on? We're not planning on doing anything with this, just testing to see what happens.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I do not intend on dispelling any charm

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I will overwhelm whatever you can do

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It is not to dispel. I am curious if a charmed person can be charmed by someone else.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] that will leave me with control

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] As you say, but there is only one way to find out, yes?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] You are not the only one who can dispel.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] That is why I prefer trying on a horse.

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] warm chuckle

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] you think you can dispel me?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] but if you would like to go be with your horse feel free

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] as I said I am not into that sort of thing

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] but feel free

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) slight smile, "One way to find out."

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) rolls eyes

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I am all for freedom of chosie

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If you spell overcomes mine, I would be less...concerned if it was not a person.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But, if Marisu is certain...well, it is her decision.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) whispers to Marisu, "Knowing that I might not succeed with dispel..."

Marisu (TMO)] What is it you would cast, Aunt Jennevive?

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Command

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Kind of wishing Spring were back instead...)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Not saying I don't trust Jenn...:P )

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (you can wait till the beginning of next week)

[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] grins

[Master] first thing next week charming

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I think Kenna is technically one level higher? So it could work)

Marisu (TMO)] I'm willing to be your target for that spell, Aunt Jennevive.

[Master] then Branwyn and meeting the Queen

[Master] on her own

[Carissa] (That sounds like a death sentence. Both of them)

[Carissa] (Hmm, although of course, a witch like knows command...poor Marisu. I think her offer will be accepted)

[Lisa] You're 2 days behind so plenty of time for charm practice

[Lisa] you could also try it on Jilly :)

[Master] lol

[Carissa] Charms with Professor Flitwick?

[Master] grins

[Carissa] Ah! True!

[Carissa] I'll offer her berries.

[Lisa] and it might take a couple of times

[Carissa] Also true.

[Lisa] think subject has mandatory saving throw

[Carissa] Yes. I was considering that which is probably why I finally brought it up.

[Lisa] can you submit and fail your saving throw?

Marisu (TMO)] Int 13+ gets a save

[TMO] 6+ HD also. Marisu is both

[TMO] but it's only a 1 round action

[Master] Shi'Nynze XP award: 250. Next level in 20297.

[Master] [Marisu]] XP award: 150. Next level in 7538.

[Master] [Miranda Paige]] XP award: 150. Next level in 3403.

[Master] [Ilero]] XP award: 200. Next level in 207841.

[Master] [Shurkural]] XP award: 200. Next level in 9633.

[Master] [Hoffman]] XP award: 200. Next level in 98227.

[Master] Kenna Westfoot XP award: 200. Level-up!

[Master] Branwyn XP award: 200. Next level in 279641.

[Master] Kel XP award: 200. Next level in 15844.

[TMO] Assuming Jenn doesn't want Marisu dead, it hopefully won't be anything too drastic.

[Lisa] Now that I think about it I think I read that you can decline a saving throw and just take whatever it is that is coming at you

[Lisa] Problem is that you are missing Branwyn as a check on Jennevive

[Carissa] Not sure how Command works, but Charm can't attempt harm or it breaks the spell.

[Carissa] And dispel can be a problem as it's only up to a certain level. And can fail.

[Carissa] I'm unsure Jenn's level.

[Lisa] was noticing Jenn is feeling a bit freer

[Lisa] freer

[Carissa] Just slightly more suspicious of her than usual....

[Lisa] but Jenn doesn't have any happy charm spells

[Carissa] And on that thought, I feel like the witch, er Queen, won't, either.

[Lisa] Branwyn is immune at the moment

[Lisa] I am not worried for her

[Lisa] Tiberius is there

[Carissa] Right. I'm still thinking Sam. And why Jenn is probably still needed for the experiment,.

[Carissa] Again, glad Branwyn has her ring :)

[Master] fixed Kenna

[Carissa] Didn't realize she was still broken.

[Carissa] Too bad the party is still broken, er, split...

[Carissa] :P

[TMO] Lisa doesn't like playing with us anymore.

[Lisa] oh yeah that's it

[Carissa] lol

[Master] Time of Day: 07:05 AM. Day 14 Be ___ tre, Spe {Early Fall} 14th, 1267 TGR.

[Carissa] Morning?

[Master] so we can pick up in the morning on the 14th

[Lisa] So everyone have a great week!

[Lisa] Goodnight

[Master] after everyone has full spells

[Master] and ready to experiment

[Carissa] But then Shi can't renew spells overnight if charms fail...

Lisa has left the game on Sat Oct 28 00:00:51 EDT 2017

[Master] you want to wait?

[Master] I can reverse that

[Carissa] Probably.

[Master] night on the 13th it is

[Carissa] Extra spells and time :)

[Carissa] Thanks!

[TMO] agreed

[Kel (MarioCS)] bye!

[TMO] that way we have all night to fix the results. :)

MarioCS has left the game on Sat Oct 28 00:01:30 EDT 2017

[Carissa] Exactly!

[Master] Time of Day: 07:05 PM. Day 13 Ced ___ tre, Spe {Early Fall} 13th, 1267 TGR.

[Carissa] Because who knows what'll happen.

[Carissa] Point of an experiment, I guess.

[TMO] wacky hijinks

[Carissa] Guaranteed.

[Master] have a great night all

[Carissa] And a week for more thoughts.

[TMO] well, you want those, target Shur instead

[Carissa] Night!

[Carissa] Haha noted.

Carissa has left the game on Sat Oct 28 00:02:23 EDT 2017

[TMO] night

[TMO] sorry I ruined your fiendish plot. ;)
