[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Hin woman (Master)] big people?
[Hin girl (Master)] no no they are good people, here they are
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Hey! I am not big! I am well fed!"
[Master] Hin girl moved 1'07".
[Master] Koorin moved 7'02".
[Master] Indigo moved 10'10".
[Hin woman (Master)] looking at Indigo, you are well fed
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Thanks! I do all the cooking myself!" ::beams::
[Hin woman (Master)] Hello friends, where to you hail from
Indigo (Lisa) looks down at his belly, "I suppose so."
[Master] Hin woman moved 4'09".
[Hin woman (Master)] warm chuckle, you look like you could lift a horse
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I am from ((halfling town I forget)). Havent been there in a while though."
[Indigo (Lisa)] A small horse maybe. It is good to be strong.
[Dee] ie.
[Brandy (Master)] I like strong
[Brandy (Master)] where are you from?
[Marjoram Diggle (Master)] you are out adventurering together?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((how old is this woman?))
[Marjoram Diggle (Master)] Marjoram is an older woman, the mother of the girl, Brandy is a younger woman Indigo's and Koorin's age
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm from Crickhollow originally
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Yep yep yep! Hes my shield in shining leather!"
[Brandy (Master)] Crickhollow,
[Indigo (Lisa)] You have been there?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Or knight in pointy sword... or something. He fights things good!"
[Brandy (Master)] no, I did go to stock and Bree two years ago
[Indigo (Lisa)] (LOL)
[Brandy (Master)] but I have not made it up north
[Marjoram Diggle (Master)] So Indigo and Koorin, where are you off to?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I dont know! I think there is a regicide we are going to join."
[Indigo (Lisa)] (I want Marco to answer that)
[Marjoram Diggle (Master)] a regicide?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Rivers Bend!!!)
[Marjoram Diggle (Master)] looks closely
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Yep. Lots of noble people on boats I think. Something about them being mean."
Indigo (Lisa) gives Koorin a strange look
[Marjoram Diggle (Master)] who would want to go on a boat
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I dont really get it myself. But its supposed to be fun."
[Hin woman (Master)] I would be mean if I was forced to be on a boat
[Brandy (Master)] I would go on a boat with Indigo, he looks like he could be good to hold onto
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "You do get wet. Still the whole city joins in for this regicide. Its kinda a big thing I think. I have never done a regicide before."
[Indigo (Lisa)] It's a regatta, ma'am. A race. It will bring honor to the winners
[Marjoram Diggle (Master)] ahhh that sounds more dangerous than a regicide if it is on the water
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Isnt regatta a type of cheese?"
[Indigo (Lisa)] Koorin, stop that! Just like your ballast.
[Indigo (Lisa)] You would know about the cheese. This is a race
[Hin woman (Master)] you want to buy some cheese? I have some good goat cheese that is ready for market
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Do you have regatta cheese?"
[Hin woman (Master)] no, but mine will taste better
Indigo (Lisa) sighs and shakes his head
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Its good for lasaguine."
[Master] Brandy moved 1'04".
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I want lasaguine now."
[Brandy (Master)] are you traveling together ?
[Brandy (Master)] or just traveling?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Yes."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well, not just with her. With other people
[Brandy (Master)] oh?
[Indigo (Lisa)] It's not just us or anything
[Brandy (Master)] I think that you would be more than enough
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "He bravely gets stabbed for me and I patch him up afterwards. Its a good combination."
[Hin woman (Master)] come here young woman, lets get you some cheese
[Master] Hin woman moved 9'05".
Indigo (Lisa) blushes
[Master] Koorin moved 11'10".
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Cheese!!"
[Marjoram Diggle (Master)] Master Indigo, was there anything else you were looking for?
[Brandy (Master)] I would be glad to help out
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think so. We shall be in Rivers Bend within a day. We should not need much in supplies until then
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] :: sniffs the goat cheese and bounces happily ::
[Brandy (Master)] YOu are coming back soon I hope?
[Brandy (Master)] it would be good to talk to someone who has seen more of the world
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummm, I'm not sure.
Indigo (Lisa) smiles, "If I do come back I will tell you all about our adventures.
[Brandy (Master)] warm smile
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "We dont knoooooow. Where we goooooo, where the river flooooows or the green mold grooooooows." bounces about singing with the cheese held high like a trophy
[Indigo (Lisa)] We have fought many dragons now. And killed snake people
[Brandy (Master)] I will look forward to that
[Brandy (Master)] ooooo
[Indigo (Lisa)] Very good stories
[Brandy (Master)] grips Indigos arm
[Brandy (Master)] snake people?
[Brandy (Master)] I have never heard of thtat
Indigo (Lisa) nods seriously, "Yuan Ti"
[Indigo (Lisa)] They are treacherous and evil
[Brandy (Master)] whaann teeeee
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Never met a snake people before. Think they are yummy?"
[Brandy (Master)] hmmmm
[Indigo (Lisa)] Their skin falls off and could smother you it is so big
[Brandy (Master)] you should eat!
[Dee] ((Prolly taste like chicken))
[Brandy (Master)] I am so sorry, I was so distracted
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Koorin, "You would not want to eat a Yuan Ti"
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol!)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "hm.... maybe we could fry that and make chips out of it."
[Brandy (Master)] let me make you a second breakfast
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "The skin that is. Fried chicken skin isnt so bad."
Indigo (Lisa) looks over at the others across the way, "I don't think we have time"
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I would think it would be something like that."
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Madness! there is always time for second breakfast!"
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Dont be rude!"
[Brandy (Master)] small pout, I would like the chance to fill you up
[Brandy (Master)] nods at Koorin, see she wants to aslo
[Brandy (Master)] let me just duck inside and I can set the table for three
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "You never turn down an offer for a nice person to fill you up."
[Master] Brandy moved 6'05".
[Master] Indigo moved 3'09".
[Master] Koorin moved 17'03".
[Master] ducking into a small house
[Master] as you tuck into breakfast
[Master] we can jump over to the others

[Bill (Master)] so my friends,
[Bill (Master)] have another cup of tea
[Bill (Master)] Mistress Mage Branwyn
[Bill (Master)] you are travelign with the gypsies now?
[Bill (Master)] (brb)
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No. We have said our goodbyes and we must go our own ways.
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((is llathandryll here btw?))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he should be)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I know - Sarengar was here by himself)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((okies))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Tulip and I just came from gypsies)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you need to walk up and grab yourself some tea)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((will do. my alarm is set to go off every 5 minutes. It has been going for the last hour and I am too lazy to walk the 10 feet to turn it off. what does that say about me?))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that you are lazy and not easily disturbed by loud noises?)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((actually it is probably closer to 5 feet. Still, its over there))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (You need longer arms?)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((or at least my tolerance for noise is higher than my capacity for laziness))
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((or something))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that works)
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Bill (Master)] sorry for that
[Bill (Master)] and yes Llath can be here
[Master] Sarengar moved 15'00".
[Master] Branwyn moved 2'05".
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ::sips his tea and secretly wishes it was wine::
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's 7 am)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] :: wine coffee :::
[Bill (Master)] if you are traveling separately
[Bill (Master)] where are you going?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Rivers bend. Then somewhere."
[Bill (Master)] why would you want to go to Rivers Bend?
[Bill (Master)] there are many ways of traveling safter than by boat
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We are looking for a couple of people there
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Big boat thing. I think we are joining."
[Bill (Master)] oh well there are lots of people in rivers bend I suppose
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am looking for two specific people
[Branwyn (Lisa)] They have something that does not belong to them
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am thinking that they will be at the regatta
[Bill (Master)] thieves?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Do only thieves join the regatta?"
[Bill (Master)] the more people there are the more chance of that
[Bill (Master)] I am sad to say that in Stock last month we caught a young Hin trying to sneak off with a pie from the baker
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Seems an unusual leap of logic to assume we are looking for thieves. Is there something you know about rivers bend that we dont?"
[Bill (Master)] we put him in stocks for a day as a reminder
[Bill (Master)] you said you were looking for two people who have something that does nto belong to them
[Bill (Master)] to my way of thinking that means they are theives
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are quite right. They are thieves and pirates and I need to take what they have stolen
[Bill (Master)] it must be important to risk traveling on a boat for it
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I am beginning to wonder that myself."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It seemed like the fastest way to get there at the time.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I am beginning to wonder why anyone takes boats."
[Bill (Master)] no one should have to take a boat
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would be happy not to
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I am really starting to agree with that opinion."
[Dee] "So am I."
[Bill (Master)] then you should stay here
[Bill (Master)] I can find you room for a tent
[Bill (Master)] and you can wait for them to come by here
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Well, I am not ready to settle down. Just wish there was a safer way than boat."
[Bill (Master)] if they are pirates they will be on the big water soon enough
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Under other circumstances I would enjoy that greatly, but I must repay a debt.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I know they will be in Rivers Bend but I do not know if they shall pass here
[Bill (Master)] it is better to pay your debts now than pay your grandfathers debts
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (huh?)
[Bill (Master)] it is much easier to pay off your debt now, than to leave it for another to pay off for you later on
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "It is? I suppose it is for whoever has to pay the debt."
[Bill (Master)] familes get all caught up in who owes who from when
[Bill (Master)] it is best to just settle debts as soon as possible
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Best not to have debts to begin with."
[Bill (Master)] a wise saying,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I wish that was the case
[Bill (Master)] I did not know that Elves were worried about interest
[Bill (Master)] so
[Bill (Master)] as second breakfast is being cleared away
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "well, when you live as long as an elf, interest can add up."
[Bill (Master)] what was it that you wanted to talk about this morning?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I understand there is some trouble about a witch out here?"
[Bill (Master)] nods sadly
[Bill (Master)] yes there is a witch out in the marshes
[Bill (Master)] she comes into our town and steals away a child once in a while
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "And she gets away with this?"
[Bill (Master)] but she seems to have a strong dislike for any priestesses
[Bill (Master)] she does not come often, she never shows her self
[Bill (Master)] but every so often someone comes up missing in the marshes
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "If no one sees her, are you sure it is a witch?"
[Bill (Master)] maybe it is a witch, maybe it is too much to drink
[Bill (Master)] but it almost always happens when a strange woman visits
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (my question exacrly)
[Bill (Master)] nodding at Branwyn,
[Bill (Master)] although you seem to be pleasent enough Mage Branwyn,
[Bill (Master)] I would not want to cross you at night in the marshes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is because I am a mage and NOT a witch!
[Bill (Master)] he nods sollemly
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Semantics."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No one ever calls you a witch
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Easy for you to say
[Bill (Master)] looks at Llathandryll, always call a woman what she prefers
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Of course not. I am not a woman."
[Bill (Master)] you will learn that it helps keep a happier home
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I have been called far worse than witch though I assure you."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I still don't know why you are sure it is a witch
[Bill (Master)] my father and grandfather both called her a witch
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So they have seen her?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Witch is like a boogeyman. Its just a name. It does not mean anything."
[Bill (Master)] I have seen strange women in town
[Bill (Master)] and people come to harm afterwards
[Bill (Master)] and strange lights in the marshes
[Bill (Master)] I was tempted to follow them one time
[Bill (Master)] but I am not a brave adventurer like your selves
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And once someone has disappeared, you never see them again
[Bill (Master)] sadly few know that line kind Elf
[Bill (Master)] and no one has seen the witch and returned no, although a couple claim to have escaped her clutches
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You should hire someone to investigate
[Bill (Master)] but they speak of claws out of the dark like fangs
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Bravery is simply the luck or ability to survive the dangers you should be afraid of."
[Bill (Master)] who would we hire?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well, we are a mercenary group that normally would be very interested in something like this.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Well, perhaps we could look into it once we are done with this regatta. Seems the witch isnt going anywhere, but there is a deadline for the regatta."
[Bill (Master)] then when you return we shall see if you can do anything about our haunting
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, perhaps when our other business is complete
[Master] Time of Day: 07:30 AM. Day 27 See ___ se, Eap {Late Fall} 27th, 339 SKR.
[Master] Time of Day: 07:45 AM. Day 27 See ___ se, Eap {Late Fall} 27th, 339 SKR.
[Master] ok
[Master] so you have Tulip's things from the barge
[Master] you have some supplies from Koorin and Indigo
[Master] only a handful of silver
[Master] is there anything else you want to try to accomplish or find before pushing off?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] well, the only thing to deal with is the witch and thatll take more time than we have
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] I guess say our goodbyes to the gypsies
[Master] Bran and Tulip did that earlier this morning (last week)
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified:
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] earlier than 7:45? what the heck man.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you can go say goodbye)
[Master] nods, Sarengar barged into the Mayor at 6 something
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] what are we doing awake this early?
[Master] first rooster crow
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] why the heck are we visiting people at 6am?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] we must be the rudest visitors ever
[Master] grins
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (how else do you get free breakfast?)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] you can get free breakfast at a normal hour
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] like noon
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] anyways
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] I will assume I gave a proper farewell to the gypsies and a curt yet vaguely polite wave to Pilst
[Master] smile sure
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] to the lake!
[Master] Ok so after sailing for about 5 hours
[Master] Time of Day: 01:10 PM. Day 27 See ___ se, Eap {Late Fall} 27th, 339 SKR.
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] Its finally time to wake up!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and because sarengar isn't here we realize we have been going around in circles)
[Master] in the early afternoon you come off of the Chandler Cowles river
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((yeah, if he was here, we wouldnt realize it))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Master] and reach Lake Peipus
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.LakePeipus
Dee has left the game on Fri Sep 02 20:15:29 EDT 2011
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (let's stay away from the geysers)
[Master] you are still over 20 miles away from Rivers Bend
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (drat! I wanted Tulip to do her augury spell for me)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hope she comes back)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((what did you want to augur?))
[Master] on the bank of the lake to your starboard side there is a colony of seals on the shore
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she has 75% chance of answering a question about a future event so I wanted to ask if the pirate queens were entered in the regatta)
[Master] when they see your ship a couple of them slip into the water
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((Ah))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (It will help to know to look for contestants or not - I have not idea what to look for other than the Vanity which I hope they are still using)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] They are normal seals right? not giant seals. or undead seals, or demonically possessed seals, or heraldric seals?
[Master] dee said her laptop overheated, will be back in later
[Master] just normal grey seals
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not good! sorry about that)
[Master] as far as you can tell, having never seen seals before
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] still, no apparent danger
[Master] no
[Master] two of them surface right next to your Knarr
[Master] looking up at you curiously
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::waves to the seals:: "Hi cute guys!"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] They are curious creatures aren't they?
[Master] nose wriggling
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe they smell that cheese
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::giggles and looks to see if there is any chum laying about::
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::finds a fish head and tosses it in::
[Master] they duck back under water
[Master] chasing it
[Master] and swimming under the ship
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "They are cute!"
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Can I have one Llathandryll?"
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "No."
[Indigo (Lisa)] It's about the first nice thing we have seen in these waters
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Aww come on!"
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "No. You cant even swim."
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "But they are cute!"
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "And you will probably just want to eat them later."
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Why? Do you think they are yummy?"
[Master] their fat does light candles
[Master] like lard or beeswax
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Case in point. You know, just because it is alive doesnt mean you have to figure out how to eat it."
[Indigo (Lisa)] (we are not killing seals Bob)
[Master] LOL
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "But there are so many things to try! Hey seals! Are you yummy?"
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I give up." ::walks away::
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I wonder how I would catch one...."
[Master] you can see several other ships rowing or sailing along the edges of the lake all moving to or from the southwester corner
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Maybe grilled with some salt a pepper....hmmm....."
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I need to find something to write this down..."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Looks like we're almost there! Wish those bugbears had a spyglass
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::looks for something to write down a grilled seal recipe ::
[Master] Knarr moved 3864'06".
[Master] Knarr moved 478'06".
Indigo (Lisa) tugs on Branwyn's sleeve, "when we dock we should have my old shipmaster look at the knarr. We need to get it fixed."
[Master] Knarr moved 1 mi., 2537'.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hey! did anyone look on the side of this boat? does it have a name?)
[Master] no name on it
[Indigo (Lisa)] He can also paint a name on her. All ships need a name.
Guy has joined the game on Fri Sep 02 20:31:28 EDT 2011
Guy is receiving the map Knarr...
[Master] Welcome Sir
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] Names are bad luck.
Guy has received the map Knarr.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi Guy!!)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] As are superstitions
[Guy] howdy i think
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] hi guy!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (only if it's a name like the last boat)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((the last boat was full of bad luck. Jeebus, they might as well just put a hole in it before setting out))
[Master] that was a good ship! it rammed and killed a Dragon Turtle!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so we have to think of a good name)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and Foriso too!)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not a good ship)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((yeah, but if it was a good ship, there would not have been a dragon turtle to begin with))
[Master] well you will need a name for the dock master
[Master] and all caught up Guy?
[Master] Time of Day: 05:36 PM. Day 27 See ___ se, Eap {Late Fall} 27th, 339 SKR.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe we should tell the dockmaster our ship's name is the Vanity and see what he says
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then give it another name if he has the real one in another berth
[Master (to GM only)] Spice Guild Market image.jpg moved 24'07".
[Master] waiting to be sure we are all on the same page
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I know - I just thought of that and am just putting thoughts out there)
[Master] nods
[Master] I think it is good to throw out some ideas
[Master] decide how you want to enter the harbor, etc
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (on the back of a baby seal)
[Master] smiles
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] what do you mean how? we just sail in dont we?
[Master] yes
[Master] but what is the name of yoru ship
[Master] who are you goign to say you are
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] The Merry Go.
[Master] what is your purpose for being in the harbor
[Master] etc
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] It has to be the Merry Go
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I kinda want to see his face if we say Vanity. But we need another name)
[Master] there are check point
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] I will not accept any other names.
[Guy] ((ok caught up))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sarengar might know the harbormaster)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we're here for the regatta)
[Master] harbormaster will have heard of but not know, he might know the dockmaster
[Master] and definately knows the quartermaster
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (whichever we talk to )
[Guy] huh
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.RB-SouthBayside
[Master] what is huh Guy?
[Guy] what you said about the harbour dock and quarter masters
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (being from Rivers Bend I think Sranegar should have at least a 50-50 chance of knowing whichever master you put in front of him)
[Master] so Sarengar would know to sail into the harbor report to the dock master for a berth
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] (( I have a mixture of binks' sake and the sailor song stuck in my head right now ))
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Someone having a baby?"
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I love babies!"
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Except changing them."
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "I am not changing any babies!"
[Master] it is woman's work
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Its not MY baby. I am changing nothing!"
[Guy] sorry im just a bit exhausted tonight
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's okay)
[Guy] just worked 10 days straight
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (think of a nice name for the knarr)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ouch!)
[Guy] sleep, bed, nap
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((it has already been decided. Its going to be the Going Merry.))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Going Merry - really?)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((and we are putting a sheep head on the front))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you go have Koorin kill a sheep and Indigo will put it on the boat)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (does she have taxidermy prof?)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((not a live one silly. a wooden carving))
[Guy] call it the Morpheus
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's a better name - a more fearsome boat name)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((If you want options you have two, though I want to go with Going Merry, I will begrudgingly accept Thousand Sunny.))
[Master] Your Knarr is in the upper left corner
[Master] Going Merry Knarr? Thousand Sunny Knarr?
[Master] not sure I am getting that
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((no, just Going Merry))
[Guy] its anime Bob
[Master] ahhh
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((we are a pirate ship with a small crew, we are the Going Merry))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (can we say Vanity first?)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((shit... I just realized that means I am Chopper...))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and .. are we keeping the kobolds or turning them loose on the city?)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((keep them. send them on suicide runs against the other ships during the regatta))
[Master] has everyone? anyone? read the Regatta info?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((kobolds? we know nothing about kobolds))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hey have been very nice kobolds actually - I was thinking about paying them)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((theres regatta info?))
[Master] This regatta wraps the harvest festival season and kicks off a month long Carnival holiday season. The regatta turns most of the city into a racecourse. This rowing regatta starts at a rope stretched between the Gallows and Bay Landing. The contestants leave from there and need to reach the first mark of Quaytown Point to collect a flag. Then the course continues to Kerner Island to collect the second flag. Next is the Mausoleum of Dusk to collect the third flag. The next challenge is to pass under the Ponte Sesto Punto and deposit the first two flags then race to the finish line between the Gallows and Bay Landing to drop off the third flag. With these points in common participants can travel any of the many canals that lead between each location with an average length of the course being about 4 3/4 miles long.
[Master] it is on this page http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.RiversBend-PoliticalAmpSociety
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((no no, no paying. If we pay them then we have to acknowledge they work for us and that meams we get disqualified for cheating when they put holes in other boats))
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((we can maybe pay them after we win))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (people will see them coming off our boat)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((we give them the orders long before the regatta))
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((they leave teh boat at night and hide till they have to do their job, like sleeper cells))
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((or kobold mines))
[Master] chuckles
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((promise them gold for each ship they disable))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you two are going to have that conversation)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((hell yeah. If this is gonna be the wacky races, I am certainly gonna get into the spirit))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I would not know where to begin on the whole disable all of your opponents plan)
[Guy] marco has been watching too many cartoons
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((or would this be more like the laff-a-lympics))
[Master] remember that for the most part you need gondolas for the race
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Indigo is going to have to pick up his old tools though so he can do repairs mid race if needed)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((only theres no scoobie doobies or yogi yahooes, just really rottens))
[Master] or somethign that can fit under all the bridges
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((yeah, so if the pirates join, they wont be using the vanity))
[Master] right
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (right - It will be docked while they race)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and no sails on gondolas?)
[Master] you could put up a single mast for a racing gondola
[Master] like a small long boat
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so they could use the box of wind to win the thing)
[Master] the Regatta di Storica takes place next month, that is a sailing regatta from Rivers Bend to Dryads Lair and back
[Master] bowl of wind
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((they sure like their regatas here)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (bowl box whatever)
[Master] think of this in car racing terms
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((there are gonna be lots of crashes and the audience will be mostly rednecks?))
[Master] they start with the Daytona 500, next month is the Indy 500 then two smaller easier races in the city then end with a huge daytona 500 again
[Master] tomorrow starts the first of 5 regattas one each month
[Master] everyone participates in this the Regatta di Burano and the Regatta di Sant'Erasmo
[Master] to mark the beginning and end of the season
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((and winners move on to the other races?))
[Master] no just prizes for each one
[Master] they are each different types of races
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((still dont quite understand why people fight so hard to win it seeing as how there is only a trophy at stake))
[Master] but for the one tomorrow you need to plot out how you will get through the maze of canals, which paths you think will be best
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((no cash prize, no titles, no land, just a trophy))
[Master] the adoration of thousands
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((I guess. But that doesnt last long))
[Master] plus by looking where people will be going you can lay in wait along the course
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((how many people to a boat?))
[Master] an even number
[Master] it has to always ben an even number
[Master] if you have 4 and one falls out, another has to jump out to continue
[Master] or go back for that person
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((okay, what range do we expect?))
[Master] 2 to 6
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((4-8?))
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] okay
[Master] small fast maneuverable
[Master] but Sarengar can tell you that some put on extra people for the first part then they jump out when you get deeper into the canals
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((now is that jumping out thing a rule or just a practical thing since its easier to row with an even number of people?))
[Master] a rule
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((and what are the rules on sabotage?))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and sarengar already has people lined up to be in the boat with us?)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((like what does it take to disqualify a boat?))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it sounded like he was pretty set and was just looking to add a couple of us)
[Master] Sarengar is goign to crew his patron's craft
[Master] no direct magic allowed on a contestant's boat
[Master] if you ram someone that is fine
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((indirect magic is okay?))
[Master] no weapons supposed to be on board
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but you could put up wall of fire right in front of it?)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((webs and such))
[Master] no magic that affects only one other ship
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((so fireball is fine?))
[Master] so yes a web across the canal to stop everyone
[Master] fire is very frowned upon
[Master] this is a city
[Master] too many wooden buildings
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (stupid cities)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((dont have fireball anyway, but just trying to see how much I can get away with))
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((now how about audience interference?))
[Master] again as long as it does not affect only one ship
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((if someone not part of a boat crew disrupts other boats, what happens?))
[Master] they get punished
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((how so?))
[Master] depends
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((fines? prison? execution?))
[Master] remember these are noble houses competing against each other
[Master] think Maciavelli
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((they are, we arent))
[Master] the Borges
[Master] if they feel you went too far they can make things very difficult for you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but they will be doing it won't they? you made it seem like it was not a fair race)
[Master] it is as fair of a race as they can make it with all the problems of magic
[Master] there is not supposed to be hand to hand fighting among ships grins
[Master] also remember some of the canals are over 100 feet wide so it is easy, other spots they can narrow down to less than 20
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((okay, so say using a rope to clothesline any boats who cross a certain point is fine. As would be illusions or scaring a bunch of boats worth of people
[Master] with 30-40 ships competing it will get crowded
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so there is this imaginary cheating line. They can cheat to the line cuz they know it. If we cross the line it will be off with our heads)
[Master] Lisa has it
[Master] and yes to Marco, you spring something up like that before anyone gets there
[Master] yeah
[Guy] i think if anybody crosses the line itsoff with their heads
[Master] the idea to think about is you want to think about ways to hinder without hurting to help without it appearing you are
[Master] and of course there is strategy
[Master] if you notice the end of the course after the Ponte Sesto Punto
[Guy] sorry everyone im just too fried to keep going
[Master] you can go for the open sailign on the river and lake
[Master] or try to cut through the Palace District
[Master] No worries Guy
[Master] think you will be up at Noon tomorrow?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (get some rest! we need you tomorrow)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] Alright, so here are some spells I have that may or may not prove useful in the race. Charm person before the race, bind (for the rope closeline thing, though the kobolds could help do that too)), improved phantasmal force (to mislead people into going the wrong way, or into a wall), scare (to make some boats of people turn around)
[Guy] oh yeah
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you are fearless leader!)
[Guy] il will be in tomorow a lot more awake than tonight
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] nighty guy
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (goodnight!)
[Guy] stay out of trouble lol
[Guy] night
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] dont think we have enough tim efor trouble
Guy has left the game on Fri Sep 02 21:22:41 EDT 2011
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] least not propper trouble
[Master] if you want a good view of most of the course the highest spot in the city is the Pyromancers Tower
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (if we dock we could get in trouble, don't underestimate us)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] hmm... are there still seals nearby?
[Master] no
[Master] n
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] can we be nearby them?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (most of my spells are for a specific target)
[Master] you see those image links on the map?
[Master] there might be some in the harbor
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] sort of
[Master] or on the nearby islands
[Master] but none near you so far
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] okay, koorin has animal friendship, she could use that to make some annoying seals
[Master] if you zoom in you can click on them to open them up
[Lisa] would a grease pit in the water do anything?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] probably not
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] I see them, but dont understand them
[Lisa] I could polymorph a seal into a shark but then he would just probably eat all the other seals
[Master] lol
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] besides, most seals are saltwater arent they?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] you would probably kill it
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] er sharks
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] not seals
[Master] nods no fresh water sharks, but there are inland sea seals
[Lisa] or whatever that thing was that tried to eat Guy
[Master] Gar
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] that might be too big to polymorph, how big was it bob?
[Master] 24 feet I think?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] so definately bigger than a hippo
[Master] big enough to swallow a small sized creature whole
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] hippo being the large end of animal you can polymorph something into
[Lisa] I was trying to think of something that could come out of the water and be a boat menace
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] seals would be menace enough if under our control
[Lisa] scrag?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] scrag could be good, but a little too deliberate
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] animals attacking just seems natural but annoying
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] scrags are inteligent, so thats the same as people attacking
[Lisa] Okay
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] crocodiles maybe?
[Master] as far as crew for the boat, Sarengar has boating which is critical
[Master] Indigo seems the next best choice
[Master] do you want a 2 or a 4 man crew?
[Lisa] and he can fix the boat if someone tries to damage it
[Lisa] we need extra oars with us too
[Lisa] 6
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] well, koorin cant swim, so she probably wont go along
[Master] she can wait along the course
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] llathandryll can and he has lots of spells that can be helpful
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] as mentioned earlier
[Master] so that is three
[Master] there will be NPCs for the crew as well
[Master] so you do not have to all be in the ship
[Master] if you want to lie in wait etc
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] is it reasonable to assume that people not taking part in the race, can pretty much only meet up and disrupt other boats once during the race?
[Master] oh no
[Lisa] I wasn't really thinking Branwyn would be in there but she can be
[Master] the course is about 4 3/4 miles long
[Master] it is up to you how many to put in th eship
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] yeah, but I was wondering how easy it would be to catch up with the boats during the race
[Master] depends
[Lisa] (but people can row faster than we can run through a crowd of people
[Master] I keep using the Pyromancer Tower as the point of refernce because you can see a lot from there
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] and over canals and lord knows what other obstacles
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] you do? first time I have heard you mention it
[Master] you can see the racers leave go out around the point, stop at the first mark, get to the second mark then all the way to the third mark
[Lisa] I can't tell what is what on the map
[Master] the line is the start/finish obviously
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] the tower is the vertical image. th only one there
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] wait no
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] there are 2
[Master] there are four images there
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] the central vertical image
[Master] teh Chandlery (Indigo knows that is a ships supply place)
[Master] the Tower
[Master] the Fish Market for common gosip
[Lisa] which tower?
[Lisa] I see 3 white stars and 4 white bldgs
[Master] and the Spice Guild for nobles
[Master] the center white building
[Master] if you click on it it opens up
[Master] double click
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] not that there is much to see
[Lisa] okay
[Lisa] thanks
[Master] true
[Lisa] which star is first?
[Master] far top one
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] so you start at the line, go to the first star, then the central one then the bottom one then back to the line?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] the line is huge by the way
[Master] there is one on the far west side of the map
[Master] first then the far west
[Master] I will fix it for tomorrow
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] oh... dont see more than 3
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ah, okay
[Master] you cannot see it except for the very tip
[Master] then back to the middle of the city
[Master] then down south
[Master] then around and back to finish
[Lisa] we are going to get our asses kicked
[Lisa] do you see us winning this thing?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] that line in the bay is really the start line? its as wide as the distance between stars
[Lisa] that sounded very poetic
[Master] smile
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] oh I dont care if we win or lose, its all about how you play the game
[Lisa] as wide as the distance between the stars
[Master] it is actually a magical line
[Master] but you cannot cross it till noon
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] and I plan on playing the game by making as many other people lose as possible
[Master] most line up and try to cross at close to full speed right on the mark
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] is it like a wall of force if you try to cross? you can crash if you start early?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] or just nullifies your speed?
[Master] you are disqualified
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] then why is it magic?
[Master] to know if someone crosses it
[Master] like a automatic door opener
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] oh... so its like an alarm spell set to expire when the race starts
[Master] right
[Master] and then reset to go off when the first one crosses
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] gotcha
[Lisa] where did you want us to leave off tonight so we can start tomorrow? or does it matter?
[Master] where ever you want to be
[Master] I will run the race tomorrow
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] I want koorin to go make friends with seals if possible
[Lisa] you don't have a plan?
[Master] grins
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] llathandryll will make friends with ladies and opposing competitors
[Master] the time in game for the race I expect it to be about an hour to an hour and a half
[Master] top rowers can make the length in just under an hour but with turns congestion and "accidents" it will take longer
[Lisa] koorin has to do her thing before we dock then or do seals got to the piers like in San Fran?
[Master] you will find out when you get to dock
[Lisa] one hour in game time can take several for us
[Master] nods
[Lisa] that is only because you did not let us find a spyglass on the knarr
[Master] a successfull boating check can increase your top speed by 50%
[Master] and Sarengar does have boating
[Master] chuckles
[Master] there is definately one place you can guess will have a spy glass, up on the Pyromancers Tower,
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] yeah, but what is his stat for it?
[Master] not sure
[Koorin (BiBo!!!) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Llathandryll modified: Spells - CHANGED: Charm Person -- # Memorized: 6 (4), CHANGED: Continual Light - Wizard -- # Memorized: 0 (1), CHANGED: Grease -- # Memorized: 0 (1), CHANGED: Improved Phantasmal Force -- # Memorized: 3 (1), CHANGED: Scare -- # Memorized: 0 (1), CHANGED: Unseen Servant -- # Memorized: 0 (1),
[Master] but that is why I point it out
[Master] you might want to see how you can help him on that
[Lisa] I bet the Vanity has one
[Lisa] real pirates have a spyglass
[Master] LOL
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] I think we are kinda early for spyglasses to be common in bobs world. they are rare oddities I think from what I can gather
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] correct me if I am wrong
[Master] yeap rare for sure
[Lisa] so are waffles but that didn't stop Scarlet from wanting one
[Lisa] I want a spyglass
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] and she never got one
[Master] grins more than a catapault?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] hard to put a catapult on a gondola
[Lisa] never more than a catapult
[Lisa] actually when we get back to Miller's Scarlet's wafflemaker should be ready
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] but we do have kobolds now
[Lisa] Koorin would have fun
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] kobolds and catapults go hand in hand
[Master] smiles
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] they are just the perfect size to launch at ships
[Lisa] fling kobolds at the gondolas
[Lisa] lol
[Master] You are here #5 moved 63 mi., 2142'.
[Lisa] anyway I wish I was a thief and could sneak on their ship while the race is going on
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] okay, so koorin is looking for seals, llathandryll is socializing and seeing if he can meet any other boaters, or ladies. preferably lady boaters
[Lisa] we have docked?
[Master] Knarr moved 1 mi., 1483'.
[Master] Indigo moved 47'09".
[Master] Knarr moved 127'00".
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] yep, registered as the Going Merry
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what about the vanity?)
[Master] Branwyn moved 37'03".
[Master] Sarengar moved 38'04".
[Master] Koorin moved 22'05".
[Master] Llathandryll moved 50'11".
[Master] Tulip moved 36'07".
[Master] who is doing the talking Indigo?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((not sure why you want to register us as the vanity. Wouldnt it just be easier to just ask if there was a ship called the vanity in dock?))
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((because coming in with the same name doesnt necessarily make us their ship. they might have a different type of ship etc))
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((and I am sure they keep records of all that))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I don't want to be their ship - I wanted him to talk about it without me having to ask him and call attention to the fact that we are looking for it)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that is fine - I will just go hunting for it)
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((aaaah. We could ask to see the logbook. it might be public record))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we could submit a FOIA)
[Master] LOL
[Master] Dockmaster moved 35'11".
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((lol, well I didnt say we had to make it sound like we were police. but I dont think they would keep the boats in dock a secret necessarily))
[Harbormaster (Master)] Make sure the line is clear for the morning Johann
[Dockmaster (Master)] Aye Captain
[Dockmaster (Master)] and who are...
[Dockmaster (Master)] looking at yoru group
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((lol. you picked a native american druid werewolf shapechanger for the harbormasters pic))
[Dockmaster (Master)] do you have a Captain?
[Dockmaster (Master)] Who are you sailing under?
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ((He is going to be named Cernd now.))
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Our Captain has had a long day. He is resting now.
[Dockmaster (Master)] very well, you are his first mate I take it
[Dockmaster (Master)] your name?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo Bolger
[Dockmaster (Master)] not many Halflings out on the ships,
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "I dont think we have chosen a first mate yet."
[Dockmaster (Master)] I last heard of
[Dockmaster (Master)] looks back
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hush!
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "But or a captain for that matter..."
[Dockmaster (Master)] Indigo? is it
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes
[Dockmaster (Master)] I remember a halfling around these parts couple of years ago it must be
[Dockmaster (Master)] thought he was named Indigo
[Dockmaster (Master)] but he was lost at sea
[Dockmaster (Master)] sorry if he was a friend
[Indigo (Lisa)] I am not lost!
[Dockmaster (Master)] so your fee will be 10 gold
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "He knows every Indigo in the world you know. It is sort of an exclusive club."
[Dockmaster (Master)] no no I an not saying you are lost
[Indigo (Lisa)] But I was here a couple of years ago.
[Dockmaster (Master)] but we do need to keep your ship out at the edge fo the harbor
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "They were close friends. Their club did charity for underpriveleged people with names of color."
[Indigo (Lisa)] I apprenticed for the Shipmaster Joseph Earwine
[Dockmaster (Master)] Earwine?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes
[Dockmaster (Master)] Old Joseph you way?
[Dockmaster (Master)] say
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "There was this one orphan named Offwhite.... tragic thing..."
[Dockmaster (Master)] well you should go talk to his son then
[Dockmaster (Master)] but not until you settle here for your ship
[Indigo (Lisa)] His son? Master Earwine isn't....
[Dockmaster (Master)] what is her name?
[Indigo (Lisa)] He is still here isn't he?
[Dockmaster (Master)] who is?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Shipmaster Earwine
[Indigo (Lisa)] I want to see him and not his son
[Dockmaster (Master)] sure sure, over the (bridge) then over the (bridge) and right across from the Harbormaster's hall
[Dockmaster (Master)] but first your ships name?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Good. You had me worried
[Dockmaster (Master)] and it will be 10 gold up front Master Indigo
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "Going Merry"
[Indigo (Lisa)] And ... and I guess her name is the ...
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "It's the Going Merry."
Indigo (Lisa) mumbles "going merry"
[Dockmaster (Master)] makes a note in his book
[Dockmaster (Master)] holds out a hand for the fee
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] ::nods:: "The Going Merry."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Can I pay you the equivalent in silver? We seem to have a lot of that these days.
[Dockmaster (Master)] oh certainly
[Indigo (Lisa)] Thank you
Indigo (Lisa) hands over the required amount
[Koorin (BiBo!!!)] (( btw 
))
[Dockmaster (Master)] take the Merry out there next to that dromond from Dryads Lair for me lad
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Excuse me Sir? I was wondering if you had heard if the Vanity was docked here? People say it is quite the beautiful ship. It would be nice to get a glimpse of her while we are in town.
[Dockmaster (Master)] thinking
[Dockmaster (Master)] the Vanity you say, do you know what type of vessel she is? or where she hails from?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((probably not))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't know much about ships at all. I was just curious
[Dockmaster (Master)] the only Vanity I can think of would be a pirate ship that sails the sea but I am sure there are others
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "A pirate ship? Do those dock here much?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] A pirate ship? I've never seen a real pirate ship before. Maybe that is the one they were talking about.
[Dockmaster (Master)] a ship would not dock here and claim to be a pirate fo coure
[Dockmaster (Master)] the leaders of the city would be on her lickity split
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So this Vanity isn't here then. That is too bad. I would like to see a pirate ship one day.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] From a distance that is.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Who would want to meet up with pirates?
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((lets just ignore the pirate ship we took over))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yup)
[Dockmaster (Master)] Ok, I am getting an Error has occued issue here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Branwyn just wishes her charisma was higher)
[Dockmaster (Master)] gogin to save and shut down the start up gain in just a moment
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((llath has charisma coming out of his ears, want him to flirt instead? :-P))
[Dockmaster (Master)] grins
[Dockmaster (Master)] ok
[Dockmaster (Master)] be right back

[Dockmaster (Master)] if I hear of any Pirate ships in the area I will let you know
[Dockmaster (Master)] there is always a good reward for them
[Dockmaster (Master)] you are really Indigo?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you
[Dockmaster (Master)] I guess there cannot be that many halflings with that name I suppose
[BiBo!!!] ((alright now I REALLY have the sailor song stuck in my head))
[Dockmaster (Master)] but those marines said they saw your ship go down
[Dockmaster (Master)] they did not find any halfling bodies
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes! After I left on that merchant vessel we were overtaken by pirates
[Indigo (Lisa)] Branwyn and her friends rescued me and we have been travelling together every since
[BiBo!!!] "Thought you said you havent seen a pirate ship before..."
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Branwyn has not)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (or so she says)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo wasn't part of that)
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have not seen a pirate ship. When we met Indigo he was in the capture of some goblins and an evil mage
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] "My, you do get captured a lot dont you?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Poor Indigo has seen more than his share I am afraid
[Dockmaster (Master)] points to a building down the docks, turn starboard there, at the Palazzo di Acqua then turn port and you will get to the Chandlery
Indigo (Lisa) struggles to keep Branwyn's lie up and not talk about the bugbear pirates he just killed
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((why? they just said they reward people who capture pirates, we could get paid for doing a service))
[Indigo (Lisa)] (beacuse he is not going to show her up as a big liar that's why)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((not a liar, just forgetful))
[Indigo (Lisa)] (his struggle is not for money it his pride and love of telling stories about his adventures)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((very forgetful)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (like no short term memory whatsoever)
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] ((oh, its been long enough that its not short term anymore))
[Master] chuckles
[Master] ok
[Master] I think we have a good spot to wrap up here
[Master] everyone can split up first thing tomorrow
[Master] then gather back for the race
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] okies. I should gather my laundry, looks like the typhoon is starting up
[Master] if you post anything on the site I will look at it in the morning
[Master] and shoudl be ready with answers
[Master] have fun! stay safe!
[Lisa] sounds good
[Master] do you even know what its name it?
[Lisa] see you both later
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] typhoon + drying clothes = not dry clothes
Lisa has left the game on Fri Sep 02 22:29:06 EDT 2011
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] um... no
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] I can look it up I suppose
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] though they usually name by numbers here
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] typhoon 12 for example
[Master] ahh
[Master] well go run
[Master] see you tonight
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] they find it kinda funny that we name our storms actually
[Master] chuckles
[Llathandryll (BiBo!!!)] okies. laters
