</i>TMG:<font color="#000000">I'm here. Sorta.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Yo.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Rushing to get this thing I'm working on finished.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Dropped from irc.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sorry sorry sorry, folks. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Kitten playtime got in the way and I lost track of time. XD

Meany:<font color="#996600">It's okay.


 * Meany gives Liatai....CANDY.

Meany:<font color="#996600">8u

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:O

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Candyyyyyyyy :O

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">A moment on the lips, an eternity on the hips.


 * Dr. Hatari confiscates the candy. =3=

Foxthulhu_Sama:<font color="#990000">So...where is everyone?


 * Dr. Hatari openly eats. =3=

Meany:<font color="#996600">But...but...


 * Foxthulhu_Sama cannot figure out which map to be on.

Meany:<font color="#996600">It's Dragon's Beard Candy. :U

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Anyway, 10% of cash income is the Mace tithe. Which usually evens out to be lower than 500, but higher than 50 GP. Which is -plenty- to live on in D&amp;D economy when it's multiplied by 5x inquisitors or more. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Forest Road for now, my vulpine eldritch friend. :3

Foxthulhu_Sama:<font color="#990000">Ah, why thank you, great tailed dragon lady.


 * Meany makes more Dragon's Beard Candy.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm looking at about 153gp for the tithe this time.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Excellent. :3


 * Meany gives it to Liatai with a Hatari-proof shield. =3=

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">ALPHA SHIELDS &gt;:O


 * Liatai omnomnoms :9


 * Dr. Hatari bounces his face off of it over and over again like a house fly. =3=;

Foxthulhu_Sama:<font color="#990000">Breakfast taem!

TMG:<font color="#000000">Almost got this done...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Anyways. Not that I suspect he will give a crap, but I'll withhold loot splitting until Alex connects.


 * Liatai distributes Smarties to all. We have two pounds of them here. =3=;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He said it should be any minute now.


 * Meany omfs.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Also.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Before the chat is flooded.

Meany:<font color="#996600">I will claim that glass eye worth 800 gold if no one else wants it. =3=

Meany:<font color="#996600">Also, gotta find the value for them foxfur bracers. &gt;:.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's fine. I doubt anyone would.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Basically, all we have to do with the loot at all is announce what we would like to keep, and merely make sure no two people wished to keep the same item.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">All values are otherwise accounted for already.

Meany:<font color="#996600">&gt;:O

Meany:<font color="#996600">My lootlog of the event after Briarclaw's den has been cut.

Meany:<font color="#996600">All I got was the afterward, maths, and noms.


 * Meany checks the wiki.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Okay. Going through test of what I've been working on, a few more minutes....

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's okay, I need to find tokens.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Aha.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Got it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Blaquestone will be stopping by to pick something up shortly, and I'll be suddenly afk.

TMG:<font color="#000000">....Looking at what I'm planning, all at once, and seeing that it's going to be rather -big-...I'm rather having second thoughts about it. -3-

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Fatcat after my lasagnas &gt;:O

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&gt;:O

TMG:<font color="#000000">Your name's John Arbuckle? o.o

<font color="#0000ff">Faerie has connected.

</i>Faerie:<font color="#006666">x.x

Tokens dropped onto map 'Talespinner Tavern'Meany:<font color="#996600">Yo.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">So, I think I abused my right arm a bit.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">There there.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Now.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">AUGH MY SCREEN.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Holy freaking

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Why does this keep getting reposted? @_X

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">This has never been posted before you whiner. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">This is the new one, ghost.

TMG:<font color="#000000">The one we haven't done yet.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Well, -I'll- take one of the female courtier's robes.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">&gt;.&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Anyways. Here's how it goes.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- !!!


 * Liatai FACEDESKS.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I just noticed a typo in that I should have fixed. XD

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ohno. That can't be good. :x

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's Inflict Serious WOUNDS, not Inflict Serious Woulds. :B

Meany:<font color="#996600">:B

Meany:<font color="#996600">Um.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We've all earned 10.2k in gold for our troubles. We're entitled that in wealth or gp, and nothing anyone does will alter that. If you want something other than 10k in coins, you scroll up and 'buy' that item out of your wealth and make sure no one else buys it. But the net worth of everyone's shares will be unaffected.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Woulds is more endearing. Keep it.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Wasn't the Stag Statue returned?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sure was. Calrach can pay 1000 gp out of his wealth for Cuppy. Or not. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Calrach can 'buy' that and use it for Cole if we want to work it that way.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Afk, door.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yeah. Calrach is willing to pay that out, but only if the others insist IC

Meany:<font color="#996600">afk

TMG:<font color="#000000">Otherwise he's going to try and duck it. &gt;.&gt;

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">&gt;:|

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, folks, I have a question for you.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Would you like me to post the Akellon campaign properties file onto the Swap?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That way, you can just import it into a blank MapTool window if you want to work on your tokens out of game.

<font color="#0000ff">Meany is disconnected.

</i><font color="#0000ff">Meany has connected.

</i>Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, a possible warning. We're expected to get 4-6 inches of snow tonight. ^^ So when the snow starts, I'll let you know; if I disconnect an hour or more after that? Probably due to weather. :B

Meany:<font color="#996600">:P

Meany:<font color="#996600">My client froze.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Last you saw?

Meany:<font color="#996600">Had to kill process.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Tmg: otherwise he'd try to duck it.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Landon Skar: &gt;:| Liatai: Also, folks, I have a question for you. Liatai: Would you like me to post the Akellon campaign properties file onto the Swap? Liatai: That way, you can just import it into a blank MapTool window if you want to work on your tokens out of game.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Sure!

Meany:<font color="#996600">Thanks. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">what properties file?


 * VAE no comprendo

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh, right, you might want to know this for Kebre, too. :.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You know how when you mouse over your character or an NPC, different things pop up?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Alright, back.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Blaquestone has the package.


 * Dr. Hatari shiftyeyes.


 * Dr. Hatari is ready.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That's because I went in and edited the campaign properties; Edit &gt; Campaign Properties...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Wait, i see now

VAE:<font color="#000000">there's more stuff than there used tobe

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yep. Not just Basic anymore. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There are five properties in the Akellon campaign properties file; PC, NPC, and Party NPC are the ones I use.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Combat NPC was a test that didn't work out and I can't figure out how to delete. :B And Basic.

Meany:<font color="#996600">So.

Meany:<font color="#996600">I claim the crystal eye.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Right! too lootz...

TMG:<font color="#000000">Calrach wants Hand of the Mage, no question.

Meany:<font color="#996600">And since I lost the rest of it...lessee what that brings my share down to. =3=

Meany:<font color="#996600">9420 here. :o

TMG:<font color="#000000">Maybe the Ring of Jumping, too. Possiblythe Ring of Prest (but prolly not, he can cast that on his own)

Meany:<font color="#996600">Oh, did anyone claim that watch? =3=

Meany:<font color="#996600">((Is it wind-up, or gas operated?))

Edaric:<font color="#000000">If no one else wants it, I'll take the +2 chain shirt... though I may trade it in for a new one. &gt;.&gt;;

TMG:<font color="#000000">It's a pocketwatch, so it's windup. Not even counts as a full Tech Device

Aelian:<font color="#000000">The watch is mine, I think.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Ah, kay.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">THE BIRD IS MINE. *brick'd*

TMG:<font color="#000000">and obviously, Gnogglebolt wants the ten vials of Incindigas (they're only useful to him, anyway)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You could market them as potions of Die, also.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...huh. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">huh?

TMG:<font color="#000000">I don't get it

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">=w=;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Oh, if you want the chair shirt, you can have it then. I suppose with all that gold, I could judt get my current one enchanted.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The only thing with enchanting is the time factor. It would take four days to finish from scratch. Three days if it's already a +1 armor.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You do have downtime coming up. :3

Meany:<font color="#996600">I got nothing. :3

Meany:<font color="#996600">So...who else wants stuff?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">On the other hand, the merchants of Castleton probably have plenty of +2 common armors in stock and ready for sale/trade.


 * Foxthulhu_Sama wants stuff...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghooooostwiiiiiiish.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Where aaaaare yoooou.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Loooooot. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Yeeeeessssssssssss? :&gt;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Workin' on it. :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">'Kay. :3

Meany:<font color="#996600">Cough.

Meany:<font color="#996600">The rod.

Meany:<font color="#996600">=3=

Edaric:<font color="#000000">...come to think of it, how do I NOT have a haversack yet? &gt;.&gt; Hey, Elros. Psst. Elros.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Ahem.

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, while you guys divide loot, i'll go take shower, methinks

Meany:<font color="#996600">Barbie had a bag of holding he won't be using soon.

Meany:<font color="#996600">=3=

Meany:<font color="#996600">Edaric can use it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">A mid-level rod of a not-so-great metamagic isn't worth claiming, just because we found it on the ground. In fact, for its gold worth, we could just sell it and use the money to get a 15% more expensive rod of lesser maximize.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">You can take the chain shirt if you want, I changed my mind.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Hm yes?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Which is actually useful.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I'm grabbing one of those haversacks instead. :3

Elros:<font color="#006666">Alright then, if you're sure. What tre the revelant details of it?

Box:<font color="#996600">Tsk. Dissing the bags of holding.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What's your current armor?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">... come to think of it, speaking of gold.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Aelian, did you ever give me back my letter or send it? &gt;.&gt;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Mithral shirt, currently

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">I totally didn't snoop through it. &gt;.&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay. The +2 chain shirt will weigh more and have a higher armor check penalty, but grant you more of a bonus to AC. One moment...


 * Thomas Lazarus has no claim to lay through any of the loot. Cold, hard cash is fine. It's necessary for most of his plans, anyways.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Hmm...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">+2 chain shirt - light armor, speed 30 feet for your half-elf self. Armor bonus to AC is +6, maximum Dex bonus is +4, armor check penalty is -1, weight is 25 pounds.


 * Dr. Hatari performs sacred canine duties. afk~

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, it belonged to Pamela, so you may want to swap it for a +2 chain shirt made for men unless you want a little extra chain in the chest area -- oop, never mind. Forgot magic items resize to their wearers. :B

Meany:<font color="#996600">:B

Meany:<font color="#996600">It's also pink.

Meany:<font color="#996600">And bedazzled.

Elros:<font color="#006666">...

Elros:<font color="#006666">I am not Xilo, thank you.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&gt;.&gt;

Meany:<font color="#996600">|B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No, it's actually regular old chain mail. Gleamingly clean except for where it was damaged in the battle, but still plain steel chain mail.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Damn.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Would have been hilarious to see

Meany:<font color="#996600">Elros in pink armor. |B

Meany:<font color="#996600">Perhaps have led to character development.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It would clash with his hair. :B


 * Dr. Hatari Takei's.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Anyway. Could I take that armor, but keep my current one in the cart? I'll have the Mithral enchanted later, but as we're headed away from town, this is better for now.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Oh myyyyy.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So, I imagine that mostly covers loot.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sure thing. :3

Elros:<font color="#006666">Alright. What's the gold value of that?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Final answer for Gnogglebolt and Calrach.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;10218.9+790.17-2000 = 10218.9 + 790.17 - 2000 = 9009.07&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Calrach: took Cole instead of the gold reward for the White STag. Takes the Hand of the Mage (beautiful, beautiful pranking!)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I find it amusing how much everyone wants pocketwatches. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt: took the vials on incindigas

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hatari; well, think about it!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">No no.

TMG:<font color="#000000">It's a nifty little foreign Mazian device!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I want one too. &gt;.&gt;;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">What accessory could be more dapper?

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;his little clicky-thing tells time exactly. o.o We're just used to looking at the sun!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">*this

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or a nearby sundial...&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;943.42+10218.9-155 = 943.42 + 10218.9 - 155 = 11007.32&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;4+10218.9-155 = 4 + 10218.9 - 155 = 10067.9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; (Yes, Landon only had 4 GP on him. :B)

Meany:<font color="#996600">Wait.

Meany:<font color="#996600">If both Cal and Bar have rings of prest....

Meany:<font color="#996600">...

Meany:<font color="#996600">ONE TWO THREE FOUR I DECLARE A PRANK WAR.

Meany:<font color="#996600">=3=

TMG:<font color="#000000">Meany; nah, not getting the Ring of Prest for Calrach.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;402+10218.9-200 = 402 + 10218.9 - 200 = 10420.9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

TMG:<font color="#000000">He can already cast it on his own.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Got me list.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">59 arrows (29 SP 5 CP), a darkwood buckler (205 GP) a masterwork rapier with delicate flowery silver filigree on the hilt (320 GP), Johnston and Margaret's matched rings of protection +1 (2,000 GP each, 4,000 GP total), a ring of prestidigitations (900 GP), an amulet of natural armor +1 (2,000 GP), an old silver pocketwatch (10 GP),

Meany:<font color="#996600">&gt;&gt;

Meany:<font color="#996600">Barbie has 68 arrows he can't use anymore.

Meany:<font color="#996600">You can have them too. |BN

TMG:<font color="#000000">-everyone- is trying to take the pocketwatch....

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's difficult to keep in perspective just how preposterously rich everyone just became. It's basically far more than the worth of risking our lives through the castle gauntlet.

TMG:<font color="#000000">You guys are gonna have to bid for it. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Aelian was the one who had original claim, it's fine. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I have seen no one else bid on it.

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, right

Meany:<font color="#996600">Ahem.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Anyway. :B

Meany:<font color="#996600">Shall we?

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;10218.9-(1000+900) = 10218.9 - 1000 + 900 = 8318.9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Calrach's gains.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Now, the big question.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;10218.9-200 = 10218.9 - 200 = 10018.9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Gnogglebolt's gains

Meany:<font color="#996600">Are we going by river, or by caravan?

Meany:<font color="#996600">=3=

Elros:<font color="#006666">&#171; &#160;10200-4250 = 10200 - 4250 = 5950&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187;

TMG:<font color="#000000">aren't we just ging to keep the potions and scrolls for the whole party?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">No.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Nah.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Most of them were crap.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Did you count those in everyone's totals, hatari? Cuz you prolly shouldn't have

TMG:<font color="#000000">wait, what? o.o

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">My inventory is quite full enough, thank you kindly. -.-

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sell them and buy scrolls and potins. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Why not keep the potions!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">*potions

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We could just recycle the gold into better scrolls and potions.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Because they're useless???

TMG:<font color="#000000">Meh. Alright. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Right. You guys have some kind of irrational love for the loot we find as opposed to the gear we could buy. :P

Meany:<font color="#996600">Well yeah.

Meany:<font color="#996600">That's because it's the stuff we murdered people for. =3=

Meany:<font color="#996600">Yo.

Meany:<font color="#996600">No.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">There's no notice of it.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Pbbbbbbbbbbbt! What now, Mr. IM GONNA DIE?

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Maybe I should just keep it. For safe keeping. You might go and try and eat your lute or something.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh ruin my fun, why don't you?&quot; He says, and hands over the letter.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thanks.&quot; =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A letter..? A letter to be delivered to someone in the event of your tragic passing? A last will and testament? Or perhaps the final words to a secret love you never had the courage to --&quot; *_*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Although Vae is showerful. But that could be a while.

GM:<font color="#000000">Anyway, last time in Akellon...

Smoke:<font color="#000000">GASP. :U

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt wandered away with the others as Miron had a private conversation with Cadamon.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Paint paint paint.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&#171; &#160;1d20+8+mod = 9 + 8 + 0 = 17&#160; <font color="#996600">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

Miron:<font color="#000000">After the private chat with Cadamon, Miron seems unexplcably far calmer and happier. He just sits near the fire, thinking.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And with it done, he returns with the other to help finish setting up camp for the night.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Unexpected indeed.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas approaches Miron after a while.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;So....I still gotta figure out what you do.&quot; Calrach says to Cole as he holds the goblet in his hands.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*turns towards him, saying nothing*

VAE:<font color="#000000">moment ! forgot my tea in kitchen! *growl*

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's obviously a riddle, and I see trial and error and experimentation in the future...&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus takes a seat, bunching up somewhat to attempt to stay down at the Gnome's level. He's still sort of gigantic by comparison, but it's the thought that counts.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;But first you gotta give me a hint of some kind. :U &quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;I suppose. What sort of hint do you have in mind?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..I'm sorry if it seemed like I was keeping secrets from you, brother.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmmm...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">back

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;There was just a thousand things on my mind in that castle. I'd all but forgotten 'that' business from before Pamela.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Understandable, brother. Everyone errs from time to time.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;The White Stag bartender said you could warm or chill drinks, and you had another 'special' ability...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But, you know.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does that other ability also have something to do with changing liquids put in you?&quot;


 * Flint Carthan and Landon are talking to each other quietly by a tree... Smoke seems more interested in the warm fire than in the drama going on. Zzz...

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why, yes, it does.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I... can see how what you saw there might have led your mind astray. It used to happen to me, too. &quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks a little surprised. &quot;Really, now?&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, cool. Synergy. Let's see...&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach pulls out his waterskin and pours a little water in the goblet.

VAE:<font color="#000000">was that still at Miron?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yes

Calrach:<font color="#000000">He holds it up and looks at it. &quot;Do whatever that special ability is now.&quot;


 * Edaric is playing the lute quietly, looking like he's mulling something over. &#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 17 + 14 = 31&#160;  &#187;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Done.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*weak smile* &quot;Let me put it this way ,brother. While Pamela was a chapter on her own, deeds comaprable to hers sadly aren't rare. &quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">Nothing visibly changes. &quot;It's a bit less flashy than my other function.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods..

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Also. I think I can handle trying some of the more strenuous disciplines, now. I could probably establish communication with the Hostel from here.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That could be useful.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm&gt;&quot; Calrach peers into the liquid. &quot;Still smells like water...&quot; He tastes a drop. &quot;Still tastes like water...no change in temperature...hmmm.&quot;

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: I may be missing something... Is the Hostel the Leaden Mace hostel?

Thomas Lazarus whispers: Yes.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! You've got a sigile of Ehlonna on you! I know! You must have turned it into super-growth juice!&quot; Calrach leans over and dumps the water onto a patch of grass and watches intently. &quot; :D &quot;

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: Ah. Referring to a spell? :3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Thought of anything you want from the haul, Aelian?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus whispers: Yep. Sending.

Cole:<font color="#000000">The grass remains the same.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( But it bursts into flame. ))

Thomas Lazarus whispers: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/sending.htm

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">He thinks for a moment. &quot;Arrows, of course. And I've been eyeing that buckler.&quot; He turns slightly and looks to her. &quot;What about you? There is that rod in there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gives a sideways glance at the halfling's shennanigans up against the tree stup and shakes his head, still setting up bits of the camp.

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: I see now! :3 Okay, carry on. I was a little confused, I thought it was demon-slayer lore for a moment.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi just rolls her eyes.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Really, do you know who rods like that are designed for? People who are not wizards. Commoners, rabble, and the petty folk who do not possess the power to bend the arcane to their will. Those whose lives are bleak and meaningless when compared to the unrivaled power of a wizard's glorious might.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;...No dice, huh? Darn...&quot; Calrach puts more water in the goblet. &quot;Do it again.&quot; And then that's done, &quot;Hmm...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Hmm.. I should probably interrogate that bloody cup later today

</i>Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Also, it clashes horribly with my hat of wizard arrogance. No fashion taste at all.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;But really, in all honesty, I don't want it. It is.. absurdly expensive, and I would not benefit enough from it to cover the cost.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You were just hoping someone would ask you, weren't you?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hush.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus whispers: Oh, no. Nothing fancy will come of it for quite some time. Detect Evil at level 10, though. But otherwise, same old Tom.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Maybe it only works on animals!&quot; Calrach starts whistling and clapping. 'SMoke! here boy! C'mere, boy! That's a good boy!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Handle Animal check.


 * VAE goes to level Miron up

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Untrained Handle Animal: &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;


 * Thomas Lazarus has been musing over something for some time.


 * Smoke looks up, then trots over. :D

VAE:<font color="#000000">Again, taking half hit die, this is going beautifully on its own

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Goood boy. Ya thirsty? :D &quot; Calrach holds out the goblet with water to Smoke's muzzle.

Cole:<font color="#000000">=w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suppose that offer's up to everyone, in fact. If any of the Guardians have messages they're dying to get out to the wild blue yonder.&quot; :3

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe he'll turn orange! or srpout wings and fly!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Not that I've ever cast a Sending before.&quot;


 * Smoke snuffles, then starts slurping out of the goblet. :9

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&#171; &#160;1d20+8+mod = 13 + 8 + 0 = 21&#160; <font color="#996600">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach watches...and eventually realizes nothing outward is happening to Smoke, either.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hrm.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">And bam. =3= That's one more painting done.


 * Smoke stands there with his tongue hanging out. :D

Calrach:<font color="#000000">He wipes out the goblet and puts a little more water in, nearing empty on his waterskin.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 15 + 1 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for the lulz.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Calrach is given a canvas.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm....&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah... if only you'd asked me before pouring.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach suddenly perks up and stands up. &quot;Hey! Anyone thirsty?&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can only do it twice a day.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Oh.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Darnit.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gotta wait until tomorrow, then, huh?&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">The party is spared from someone having to drink a questionable liquid! -3-


 * Smoke goes over and leans on Flint affectionately. 8) Loooove yooou, masterrrrrr~


 * VAE headdesks. Just realised I can actually do gnomish racial spells once per day


 * Flint Carthan scruffs the dog's fur. |3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yes. Yes you can. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">also +2 save to illusions

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Which depicts him sitting on a stump, blowing into a dandylion, who's seeds circle in the air around him as a spiral from the viewer's perspective. As the seeds pass his feet, they morph into bees, as they pass his opposite shoulder, they morph into flower petals, as they come around to the other side, they morph into ravens, then at the very top of the painting, the ravens become a rainbow. There's an arrow with a silk ribbon shaft hanging from a tree branch in the background, while the back has the title.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Which Part is Real?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Title, not spoken.

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello there... Sszeyl, correct? My... it sounds weak, but my sympathies regarding your possession problem.&quot; The cup's voice sounds sincerely concerned.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;It's quite alright.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;It'll be resolved soon. =3=&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;The sooner, the better...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Anyway, Calrach, we just met but does the painting work for you? :3&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;I'm doing one for everyone.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach takes the cavnas and gives it a look over.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">oops, brb


 * Smoke is wandering around to the other Mace members. I love you tooooooo~ 8) And I want pettings~

VAE:<font color="#000000">hm, how many spells can I roll for learning on level up with new spell slots?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Was it one or two?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Two.

VAE:<font color="#000000">thankee

Calrach:<font color="#000000">His face brightens up as he loosk visibly delighted at the artwork. &quot;It's beautiful! I love it--&quot; His gaze then seems to be drawn to the 'title'. Calrach...freezes oddly, for just a moment, a some other expression cross his face. Concern? Fear? Dissappointment? But only for a split-second, then it's gone, and he's smiling brightly again.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thanks, mister Sszeyl! It's great!&quot;


 * Smoke leans on Thomas. Hi shiny buddy. :3 Pet me?


 * Thomas Lazarus seemed to have been highly distracted for a moment. ((Making summon tokens in tokentool X3))


 * Thomas Lazarus smiles down and rubs on Smoke's head. :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Sszeyl notices this, but doesn't comment.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;You're welcome.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Dividing loot, then? :U&quot;


 * Sszeyl plucks the crystal eye. &quot;Barbarus will enjoy this. Especially if it can be enchanted to replace his damaged one.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We'll need to get most of it appriased by a buyer, probably. I think the worth of half of what we found could be quantified as.. uh.. 'relative'.&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;And also.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;We should reserve something valuable for Salishea.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can estimate how much most of this stuff is worth for sale...&quot; Gnogglebolt says (harkening back to how he used to have the Appriase skill before we got rid of it. :U) He takes out some parchment and paper and starts writing down many numbers.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;As a gift, giving her reason not to be...draconian.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh. Or that works.&quot; :.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Did I disconnect?


 * Thomas Lazarus pauses.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Oh, there you are.


 * Thomas Lazarus counts out 28 platinum coins and hands them to Sszeyl.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">?


 * Thomas Lazarus nods once.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A debt repaid. Thank you for your help last time.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Oh. :.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Thanks.&quot;


 * Cadamon Gardner notes this and seems to approve, though he doesn't say anything.

GM:<font color="#000000">Let me know when you're ready to get on the road again!

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Yo.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas is more or less quiet for the rest of the evening.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach yawns and heads to bed in one of the set-up tens himself, after stowing Cole. He also puts in a very excited request for the hand of the Mage, if he's getting a cut of the spoils.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ah

VAE:<font color="#000000">The two that gets?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yep.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">:P

VAE:<font color="#000000">Okay, so first would be Wrack, and then...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Where is Sszeyl's signature in that one? :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Oh right. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">In Terri's hands.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Whoa, whoa whoa. Wrack?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Really?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Indeed so.


 * Thomas Lazarus seems awestruck when he discovers the painting.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...well, that's not gonna go over well with Thomas, at least. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Are you sure it's not going to be basically fine with Thomas? :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">His signature spell is Inflict or Heal forcepalm

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I'm quite ready to continue the road trip. Can't think of anything else to do.

TMG:<font color="#000000">that's the same spell Sir Ebonwood got in trouble with when he used it in the Temple of Pelor

Meany:<font color="#996600">It's Miron.

Meany:<font color="#996600">He's lucky Miron hasn't tried for Eneveration yet.

VAE:<font color="#000000">And he is smarter than to use it in temples.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Or Touch of Death.

Meany:<font color="#996600">=3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">those are wizard spells

GM:<font color="#000000">DAWN of a NEW DAY when people are ready - Sei, Cuthon 18th, and the weather is &#171; &#160;1d100 = 88&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Meany:<font color="#996600">Death Domain, I thought too. |.

GM:<font color="#000000">... uh-oh. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">oh buggering..

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">IT'S A TWISTER.

Elros:<font color="#006666">|

Elros:<font color="#006666">...

GM:<font color="#000000">It's just raining.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sszeyl, this painting is--&quot; AND THEN BOOM, KERSPLASH. Thomas is stage-rained by like three gallons of water and a sudden monsoon.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The studio audience laughs.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Right, that symbol doesn't work.

GM:<font color="#000000">And it's not dawn yet, it's still night. XD

GM:<font color="#000000">Your painting is safe. :B

Elros:<font color="#006666">Well, at least it's only rain. It could be worse. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">And you'd be inside, anyway.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">c|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=w=;;;;;;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">brb

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Is Tom not snapped to grid? ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Nope.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I usually snap it off to fit tokens inside/on top of things.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It doesn't really matter, though.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( :. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oops!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sorry, Fae. ^^;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So many errors.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">&gt;.&gt;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">And then I abused my left click button

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">So, transit! c:

GM:<font color="#000000">Luckily, the stone roof Thomas made last time is still on the 'open' cart. So very few people get wet. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Anyways. Thomas has seen Wrack cast before. And while that's a pretty horrible experience for anyone it gets cast on, and uses some pretty foul infernal magic and negative energy... he's a pragmatic kind of guy that can excuse means to an ends. He has had a lot of peaceful philosophical disagreements with his peers already on a number of issues, if it weren't evidenced by various in-character events over the campaign.

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, folks.. what would you *like* miron to have for the second spell? Recitation seems useful for mass

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Btw, that box is right under the hole in the roof.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">D:

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Smoke could stand on it, and hang outside the cart as dogs do in cars.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He's also friends with a former BBEG, three drow, and tries to see the good in unrepentant villains and demon dogs. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">back

Smoke:<font color="#000000">... I'm not the demon dog, am I? &gt;.&gt;;

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Wb. ))

GM:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 60&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

GM:<font color="#000000">Carry on. :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Travel travel travel. :u

VAE:<font color="#000000">anyways. Taking Recitation as second, a party buff

GM:<font color="#000000">If no one has any checks or roleplay they want to do, we can just skip ahead.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Hmmm. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11&#160; <font color="#996600">&#187; Spot check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 5 + 5 = 10&#160; <font color="#996600">&#187; Listen check!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Once the carts are underway, and fortunately protected from the rain in the closed-top wagon, Gnogglebolt sets about working on his device again.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">One check.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Craft (Tech Device) &#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 18 + 17 = 35&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Spot &#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 9 + 13 = 22&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187; and listen &#171;  &#160;1d20+13 = 18 + 13 = 31&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187; just in case.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*Vs DC 22. &#171; &#160;22*35 = 22 * 35 = 770&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">You hear lute-playing. Which is pretty constant throughout the trip. You are free to tell the bard to shut up -- so to speak -- if you like. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;355.2-770 = 355.2 - 770 = -414.8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Which, of course, exceeds remaining.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and if I'll be allowed to roll for some at the Mace, trying for Discern Lies and Sound Lance

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Halfway through the ride...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gold rings scatter on the floor like a wounded Hedgehog.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Lute playing won't help if we're trying to sneak, but...I don't think we are. So eh, it's fine.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'VE DONE IT! I did it, I finally finished it!&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus peers to the other cart sleepily.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt holds up a large tube-like device almost as big as himself.


 * Smoke does as dogs are wont to do.


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Tathi, meanwhile, and whispers.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Say..&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">He sticks his nose down the barrel and sniffs curiously. :B

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi glances up, from her spellbook if you hadn't guessed.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..About how much would Gnogglebolt freak out if I gave him the ability to cast spells for a day or two?&quot; He smiles wryly.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">It's basic shape is one longer but thinner cylingder (though wider than even the Blunderbuss) with a n even wider, but shorter cyclinder enclosing one end of it, with a handle and something that looks suspiciously like a crossbow trigger...or a blunderbuss trigger...

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi quirks an eyebrow, and then smiles. &quot;It would be worth seeing.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey. :[ &quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Excuse me Mr. In another cart and busily working? :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You'd need a Listen check to overhear, Gnogglebolt.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">x3

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Miron is looking into his prayerbook himself, probably not even noticing the talk that's going on.*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Internally, he's at least thankful everyone seems to have forgotten about his slip of the tongue last night--oh. Whups.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Nevermind

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Thought Tathi was in the same cart

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I could probably make him as tall as a Human, too. I'm not even sure we would be friends anymore at that point.&quot; He muses. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">However, Gnogglebolt takes this new fat device and checks it over, also holding it up so anyone who looks can see.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He also holds it out the back of the closed-top cart so the others in the open cart can see it.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Snuff snuff snuff -- there is an echoing kff-FCHOOMPH down the barrel. The force of the sneeze jerks the dog's head back.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Just what are you planning, you sunny cleric you?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt grins at the silly dog. &quot;You're lucky I haven't loaded it yet, Smoke!&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;What are you up to, dog?&quot; |3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But look at it everyone! I finally finished it!&quot; He repeats, though not actually saying what 'it' is...


 * Smoke sneezes again and wags his tail. :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, nothing in particular. Just thinking it's nice to be done with our life-or-death mission. I don't think Pelor would mind giving us a bit of joy with his magic now that the need is not-so-dire.&quot; |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 14 + 2 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Listen

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I don't recall the sun god being a god of pranks, Thomas.&quot; She says, smirking.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is... 'it?'&quot;

TMG whispers: By the way. Do...you still have the stats/conversation for the bombchucker? &gt;.&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Pelor and I have an understanding.&quot; He nods sagely.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's not one of 'those,' is it?&quot; |3

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She rolls her eyes and goes back to her spellbook. How about adding that last Light of Wuteva to her spellbook? :&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Venya. :P

You whisper to TMG: Somewhere, but I'm not sure exactly where. ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Light of Wuteva XD

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;-This- is a device I made to enhance something. As you've probably seen by now, I like using a lot of alchemical items and bombs, and I can throw them further than most people because I know how to spin them just right.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Yah. Wuteva.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But that still isn't very far. Alchemical devices aren't aerodynamic.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So this thing will throw them for me. |3 &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Interesting.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tathi? Able to cast a spell that can heal? Unpossible.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Does it accept alchemical sling bullets?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;So it's a catapult?&quot; :.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Wuteva, mon.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">x3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">LAZORS AND MEDKITS.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah...thos are too small I think, Sszeyl.&quot; To Edaric. &quot;Um...sort of. It actually uses springs ad a blast of air. Here, lemme demonstrate.&quot;

Landon Skar:<font color="#000000">&quot;... we should move.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt leands out the moving cart and scoops up a stone about the size of a flask as they pass over the ground, and leans back up into the cart.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">My explosion senses are tingling.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good idea.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 15 + 12 = 27&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; spellcraft! -5 if its necromancy or illusion, +2 if it's evocation!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Pretty sure that adds it,. :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yep!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He opens up a panel on the back, fatter end of the device and puts the stone into it, then winds some kind of crank on the side.

Meany:<font color="#996600">And suddenly.

Meany:<font color="#996600">It fires a boxing glove at Flint.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Hold on.. Wasn't there three scrolls?

Meany:<font color="#996600">You added them.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah, one divine one i think

VAE:<font color="#000000">Light of Lunia - Miron perused that

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He aims for a tree about 100 feet away, steadies, and fires. Attack roll: &#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 13 + 6 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;!

Meany:<font color="#996600">Lunia, Mercuria, Venya.

Meany:<font color="#996600">You book'd them, Ghost.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And it lands solidly where he points.

Meany:<font color="#996600">=3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">Wuteva.


 * Smoke yipes!

VAE:<font color="#000000">The deity of not caring/

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">the device fired with a loud, hollow *SHOONK* &quot;See? That could have been a flask of alchemist's fire, or a tanglefoot bag, or even a gunpowder bomb!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;How creative. :.&quot;


 * Smoke sniffs even more intensely at the device. &gt;:o

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I made this thing to accept almost anything the size of a ball, or a fist.&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">So... like... tennis balls? :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It can launch fists? *brick'd*


 * Smoke is boof'd with a tennis ball.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Heh.

GM:<font color="#000000">Are we ready to move on during this rainy day?

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Yep.

VAE:<font color="#000000">A hipster druid is one that only speaks with underground animals

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( To Castleton! Adventure! ))

Elros:<font color="#006666">I'm ready to move on.

GM:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; DAWN of a NEW DAY - Ica, Cuthon 19th

GM:<font color="#000000">And a lovely clear day to wrap up your journey on. :D

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">:3

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Well, at least it'll give us a chance to dry off.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is where we take our leave of you, Guardians.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Good luck.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unless some of you would like to go to the Leaden Mace's hostel for the evening?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus glances to the others briefly.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;I have things I need to do. =3= Otherwise, I'd go hear what your Commander has to say.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, I think we're good. Our HQ is fixed up, though...oh. Oops, almost forgot.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're...returning to the assasins waiting for us. They've had over a week to prepare.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus frowns.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maaaaybe we should go somewhere else than the HQ tonight.

VAE:<font color="#000000">(assuming Miron and Thomas are going along with Cadamon, rigth)

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;What's that, you say?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">A wise choice.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That's up to Miron and Thomas individually.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;We're staying at Luethil's place, or my house? :.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Righto.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What about Barbarus and Swallowtail?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus glances to Miron.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm.. truthfully a little leery of letting them go off alone, br--Oh!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's right.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;We'll pick them up, do our business in town, and meet up to convoy to the caves.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus explains.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We had Commander Ashmore scry on our would-be assassins while you were bedridden a few more times. We still don't know where they lurk.. but..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We did see them assembling a flesh golem for the purpose of attacking us.&quot;

Cole:<font color="#996600">How did I get ownership of Cole?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, that sounds like grave news&quot;

Cole:<font color="#996600">How did Cole get facing?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It will probably strike some time before long.. it has been a week since that vision.&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">I am owned by all players.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps it'd be wiser if *everyone*.. or at least most of the present followed us to the hostel.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">But he's mine! &gt;:O

Cole:<font color="#996600">Your token disagrees.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unless they're taking the time to make more.&quot; Flint frowns.

Cole:<font color="#006666">Does that mean any of us can make Cole say things?

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Did Tom intentionally lie to Miron? :B ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Perhaps. I imagine everyone has business, though. (Uhg..) I really do want to get back to the hostel. But I just can't leave them alone right now. I absolutely want to be around if that thing shows up.&quot; &gt;:.

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( I don't think he lied at all. =3= ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( It was Zai who scried the assassins. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Ash scried the castle. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No, Ashmore scried.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Zairith scried the first time, Ashmore the second.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Ah. |u ))

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;My only business would be seeking enchantment for my armor, though I don't think we have the time, per se. If you need some help, I could offer my assistance.&quot;

Miron: <font color="#0">(( Typical drow, taking others credit ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright. Let's go pick up Swallowtail and Barbarus. Hopefully they had the sense to keep company and they'll...still be around.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Silence, child theif! ))

Miron: <font color="#0">(( Child thief? ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">To the VHQ map.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Gnome stereotype. :&gt; ))

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't be terribly surprised if a Mace operative shows up at your headquarters with questions.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">NOT YET.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you sure, Thomas?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let me copy-paste you. XD

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">:o

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">afk, important call\

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay! Copy-pasted. When you're ready, hop over to Vigilant Guardan HQ!

Box:<font color="#996600">Home sweet home.

Meany:<font color="#996600">How have I lost ownership of the mules and wagon? :O


 * Thomas Lazarus nods at Miron. &quot;Yes..&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">WHERE DA ASSINS. :O

Meany:<font color="#996600">Yo.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fix'd.

Venezuela:<font color="#996600">Thankee.

Venezuela:<b><font color="#996600">Such evil eyes do I have for three. *.*

</b>Honduras:<font color="#996600">I smell gold.

Honduras:<font color="#996600">Gold! :O

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ooh, it's snowing. :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;As much as I'd like to get back there, I can't in good faith let our friends be alone while we expect a golem to be lurking around somewhere with murder amongst its orders.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#996600">Snow~

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;In that case... let's say I'll make an exception and follow to the ... headquarters tonight. If anything, because I seem to be the only one giving proper considerations to safety&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Moar LiaSno? :.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Please give the others my regards, brothers.&quot; To Cadamon, Flint and Landon.


 * Flint Carthan tips his hat.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Knockity knock.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hellooo! Barbarus? Swallowtail? We're back!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;For the last time, we don't want anymore cookies!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">any more*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And mine as well.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Oh, it's you. One minute.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;You had cookie deliveries?&quot; :O

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Click.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What's this of cookies?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Door le open.


 * Swallowtail turns invisible...

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh no no, last thing we need is you on a sugar rush.&quot;


 * Sszeyl hefts a crate of loot into the HQ.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Good gods, this is heavy.'


 * Sszeyl drops on the floor. |D

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">New look incoming!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Then visible again. &quot;Swan Song! Everyone! Well-come home!&quot; :D

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Ominous, a puma-type catfolk clad in a macabre fashion. Flowing black coat of wolf fur, decorated with buttons of wolf teeth buttons, sleeves reinforced by foreleg bones, the left of which flaps uselessly in the wind; empty. A hood rimmed with vertebrae obsures all but the lower face of the cat wearing the coat, brilliant white teeth in a mischivous grin. Beneath the coat, white shirt and pants, and a black vest patterned after skulls. The bone motif continues into the hilt of the sword hanging from inside the coat, and down to the fancy footwraps on the cat's feet. And the fluffy tail, ornamented with two rings of bone, one black, one white.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">:D

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">In Auran: &quot;Teacher, good to see you again!&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">:O

 * Swallowtail bows. In Auran, &quot;It is good to see you again, as well! I am glad you have returned safely.&quot;


 * Sszeyl bows. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Auran: &quot;Was there much excitment while we were gone?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's good to see you both in good health. Have things been quiet?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">ooh, owl is using my sketch for icon on barbie?


 * Swallowtail shakes her head.


 * VAE happylynx's

TMG:<font color="#000000">...Auran, or Amayan? :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Auran.

TMG:<font color="#000000">if Auran, the I suppose it could have been Gnogglebolt teaching Sszeyl it. :.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( That was the thing we agreed to over irc. Did you forget? :. ))

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">In Auran; 'Mercifully quiet.&quot; And then in Common, &quot;Yes, very quiet. Cat has been busy.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Makin' coats!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I might have ,it's three months since i drew it

TMG:<font color="#000000">'parrently I did. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So I.. see..&quot; =w=;;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Common: &quot;Speaking of.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;We brought furs for you.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">As long as you avoid becoming a coat, cough.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh...er... 'nice' choice of clothing there, Barbarus...&quot;


 * Sszeyl dumps out the pelts for Barbie. =3=

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Ooh! I can make nice stuff with these! .D&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas stares in an awkward smile at Barbarus attire. Which is so gothic raider, it shits battleaxes. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sacred canine duty, BRB.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You could say he has a bone to pick&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Thanks! I made the coat myself. :.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Boned. James Boned.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Made two more while you were out. .O&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In any case.. we finally caught that witch. Pamela Lundy is in the hands of the Palm. In fact, probably hung by now.&quot; He nods slightly at Swallowtail.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Oh, Barbarus, Teacher.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Sszeyl tosses the catfolk the eye.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;In fact, she's actually been executed by now.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Ooh!&quot;


 * Barbarus pops it into the empty socket, then pulls the hood back a bit. &quot;How do I look?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">It's in backwards. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed.|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">^^;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Egh :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;I'll be speaking to Ebonwood, getting it enchanted.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;You look, um...*cough*&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You look more like before.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Perhaps to embue replacement sight.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You.. might want to put it in the right way.&quot;


 * Barbarus jiggles the eye until it's in the right spot...if slightly off center.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Better not touch it a whole lot. Infection up there isn't nice.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Any flesh golem sightings?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Nope!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Hrm..&quot; He frowns at that.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Pardon me a bit, if you would.&quot; He scoots past and walks upstairs.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, Swan Song?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Swan song...?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;A little morbid, isn't it?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Quite. =3=&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;But anyway. Would you and Barbarus like to accompany me to the Ebonwood for purchasing some gear for the trip west? :3&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;I have enough gold in my share to cover us.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Eh, I don't think I'll be going west with y'all.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why not?' :.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Because no fucking way that drow is going anywhere.

</i>Miron:<font color="#000000">*says nothing*

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;I'd rather go off into those combat zones until I can swing a sword in my right hand.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;I was a lefty.&quot; .P

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... good point.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;But where are you going to stay in the meantime? It'll be months!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Luethil's place.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Luethi -- oh.&quot; o_o

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;She's really nice once you send some customers her way. .D&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, I'd think assassins would want to avoid tangling with her.&quot; =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Understood, Barbarus. :o&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Teacher, want to come with?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">It's been only a few weeks, but that cat seems to have changed... He is wiser, more careful. Once again, even such a grievous injury worked out for better

</i>Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Please call me Swallowtail. I am no teacher yet. Student with student. What is the word... tutor?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;As you wish, Tutor Swallowtail. :3&quot;


 * Sszeyl bows a bit.


 * Swallowtail bows back. &quot;I will come. Who is Ebonwood?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Grumpy half-elf man you saw at the Pelor temple.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;The one who stopped the dragon. =3=&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;With one-eyed cat that isn't the tailor?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Yes.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hrm.. What should we do? Looks like there will be a bit of free time coming up.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas is reclusive for some time. It's a good 20 minutes before he's seen from again. There'll be no room for fun and games again -- already. Prayers of battle readiness and the strength needed to protect his friends conclude, and he returns downstairs. ((Convert open spell slot to Divine Power again.))

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Tree searching maybe?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway...now that we're all back together, do we want to take care of selling off all the stuff we picked up tonight?&quot; Gnogglebolt holds up the sheet of parchment he wrote all the totals up on.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;The trial is in a few days.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Might want to pick out some fancy clothes. :p&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What trial?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Yes, let's.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh hells. We do need to dress up, don't we?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Uh-oh. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;It's an elf thing, Edaric. :B&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;So find a hat of disguise to make you look like one.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... oh hell, is it that crazy painter again?&quot; =w=;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, after we take care of selling off our excess spoils, I think we should try and pick up the trail of the assasins before this trial.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And then head west after that.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Mm..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We have another 'chance' left.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But the less said, the better.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">When everyone is ready, we can move on along to the Mustering Cave, then to a new day and coming back into town.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what cave?

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Yep.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Chance? :.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;ah, yes.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Let's go~ |D&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Are we saying we hawked off all the stuff tonight on our way out to fill our moneybags? :.

GM:<font color="#000000">It's not a map on here, I didn't anticipate people going to Sszeyl's place. :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miria Moneybags?

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Okay!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">BUT D:

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros hmms, and tries to recall exactly how long we were planning on being in town for.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And an extra 10 vials of incindigas for me...

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Let's compromise, Miron.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">We'll each lend 1.1k.

GM:<font color="#000000">DAWN of a NEW DAY - Nica, Cuthon 20th. This is a holy day for Saint Cuthbert, a day for the faithful to reflect on his teachings and ascension from mortal to god.

VAE:<font color="#000000">he isn't

VAE:<font color="#000000">he's a deity.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'd be glad to go there with just you and report already.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Thomas, you are looking incredibly topheavy this morning.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods, considering.

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well. That was unexpected.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Miron, I find you repulsive as always.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's a good poin--&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Topheavy?? D:&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I assure you it's mutual, .. Sszeyl

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Yes. Like all of your mass is in your chest cavity.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3=;; ?

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach blinks. &quot;Huh. Still nothing obviously different.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*The name falls off his tongue like when a cow takes a dump, but he calls him by name nevertheless*

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Sweep sweep.


 * Edaric is off in the apple tree outside. Munching apples and playing a lute. Alone. Oh dear? :B

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, you don't feel any different, Sszeyl?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Calrach, I worry that you're going to try stealing things. :B&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">And while others were busy, Edaric was sitting alone, fiercely playing his lute.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( When Fuzzy's attack! ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Uh. Alright..&quot; =3= Back to Miron, &quot;..I suppose you're right. It would be foolish of them to herd a golem into attacking us in broad daylight. The city guard would take it down.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;I--hey! I wouldn't theive from people I'm writing about! It'd mean you wouldn't let me around to write about you again. :[ &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've just been concerned about them. Those are immune to magic, right?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Nah.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I mean. I wouldn't theive at all. &gt;.&gt; &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..They may need me.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;People steal from me all the time.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Precisely, brother. Let us go now, before ..he makes any more advances.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;I don't mind. =3=&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;But I still report them to the guard.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Because that's the law.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Unless people want to roleplay things out, we can assume report is given without any hassle.

TMG:<font color="#000000">what report?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well ,there is the arse-up history XD

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;My my Ashmore, what a large forhead you have. :u&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">So dunno.What does Hatari think?

TMG:<font color="#000000">er, which report?

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( *shot* ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">The two going to the Mace

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well. There was some roleplaying out that I'd like done before we conclude the downtime and travel west.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Mace business, Tech.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh don't worry.

VAE:<font color="#000000">hey Lia, idea

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But it doesn't have to happen right this moment if we've got things going on in Mustering Cave still.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Your downtime will go well into next session. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">copypaste some mace NPCs somewhere on this map if you want it handled expediently

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Aww. :c ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">no need to do it fancy

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Gnogglebolt, I worry that you are slightly insane for working with all those explosives.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shall we return to Castleton proper? I'm sure Cadamon's given his report to Ashmore and has a verdict waiting by now...&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We have a map for the Mace. The HQ map would be serving triple-duty. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It'll want overtime pay!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">yes, but it's expedient for the GM. I did all session like that yesterday.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl, you're acting a little chattier than usual.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Quintuple duty, even

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;I know. It's very strange.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Wait...Sszeyl's not usually that chatty?&quot; Calrach looks down at Cole, then back to Sszeyl, then back to Cole.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Elros, you've always been quite disconcerting.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">he dislikes concerts.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I hate this orchestra, said Elros disconcertingly.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Wow.. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3=;; ?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&#171; &#160;1d20-1 = 2 - 1 = 1&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

VAE:<font color="#000000">XD!


 * Thomas Lazarus levels a finger at Cole. &quot;It's an elixir...&quot; =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;OF BEING A JERK.&quot; =3=

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey Sszeyl. What do you think about Tathi?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;If I were being a jerk, I'd be insulting Miron more.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">afk x3

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh dear.&quot; =w= The goblet sounds very amused at Thomas' statement.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, Tech..that brings me.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;I find Tathi to be very strange.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;She's more like a Drow than I expected of a Wood Elf.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">nah, nvm. The two went there and gave a report.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Though the whole matter with sszeyl is part of reason why the contact of Thomas and Miron with Ashmore and others would perhaps be better RPd

TMG:<font color="#000000">(hello?)

Miron: <font color="#0">(( Why do you insult her so? ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Yo. ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">(Am I still here?)

Miron: <font color="#0">(( you are ))

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I see you, tech.

Miron: <font color="#0">(( that is, if you get our messages ))

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach giggles evilly.

GM:<font color="#000000">The commander thanks you for your reports, and informs you that an investigation is underway. He will deliver a verdict once the investigation is complete.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Techm if you can see this, :46 ?

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is whatever you did to the water going on, right Cole?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">That rather reminds this person.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">...never mind. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">And then.

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is, though not in its usual fashion.&quot; :.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;...What about Aelian?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In any case. Now that I have the funds, I should like to visit the Ebonwood post-haste.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Aelian has no idea what he's gotten himself into.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">HOLY SHIT CHATSPLOSION

Miron:<font color="#000000">Ebonwood? Is that the half-elf who pacified the dragon?

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( :u ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">o.o;;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I think I may head there before long.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Pause for a sec, everyone. D:

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or rather, the leftovers of one that possessed the drow.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's the name of his shop, yes. He sells magic items. I've given him some business before. He's a fair dealer.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I wonder, when are we going to move to downtime?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tech, there's a scroll lock

VAE:<font color="#000000">Use it.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( We're in downtime. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( This is rp. :B ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Technically, you're -in- downtime. I'd suggest you use it.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And also I'd suggest someone go to HQ. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">o.o!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Ya, Tathi and Aelian? Poof!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The mailman's getting impatient. XP

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Heading back to the HQ post-haste!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yes. I'm getting out of Mustering Cave.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Vae; I did. I just didn't want more talking while I read up. -3- But anyway, back in...

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Swallowtail, grab my hair.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">TO THE HQ THEN EBONWOOD.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Being in an unmapped space is just confusing havoc. :B

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach grins evilly at Sszeyl.

VAE:<font color="#000000">not really

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do you think of Tathi and Aelian...in bed? &gt;:D &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Noisy.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;I think they're a bit noisy, myself.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">How did I know that was coming. XD


 * Thomas Lazarus gives Calrach a look. =3=

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach snickers.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd be rather eager to speak with that man, then. I hope you don't mind me going along, brother.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;So...Cole...you can make a liquid that someone drinks from you make them more chatty...&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;I bet it's more specific than that, though.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">ARGH

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Very well. I was going to mention the inquest matter anyways.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Am I done being warped through walls yet? @_X

VAE:<font color="#000000">One thing at the Mace

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron wanted to look into the stuff about the cup

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Hmm. Pray tell, how many days do we plan to spend before moving on to other jobs?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Whether there are records about other branches, and whether that inquisitor is real, at least

VAE:<font color="#000000">The one he mentioned

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh? Hello, brother. Are you well?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Elros, we're just going to stay around until this trial of Sszeyl's, then we'll head west to meet Salishea.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi and Aelian are headed up to the HQ. &quot;.. and maybe a few blankets. Could be a while.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I, in the meantime, finally have the funds to begin on a project...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Since we still don't know if the assasins will attack, I should probably stick with someone else...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am, more or less. You heard the story with the bird, amiright?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Nothing that will bring our building harm, I hope. Our enemies do enough of that as it is.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Swallowtail and Sszeyl are headed for the Ebonwood, then. =3=

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Several times over.&quot; ^^;

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, slow down a little, main party. Got a few events working.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">New mink token! :&gt;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros offers to stay with Gnogglebolt. Besides, if the assasins attack, he'd be more than happy to have a crack at them.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... I am getting crazy lost with all the random declarations of destinations, even though we're all just in the street. ^^;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yeah, same here. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, question.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">42!

Meany:<font color="#996600">Some people are on other maps. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">I assume most people are going to HQ. Sszeyl, are you and Swallowtail headed there first, or straight to the Ebonwood?

Miron:<font color="#000000">*grins* &quot;I thought so... gossip of such stuff spreads like plague. Think even Sonya was laughing. Either way, can you spare a while? Need you to check something.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Well, I'd like to get my painting of the Guardian logo from the HQ, but don't want to steal light from Ghost.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Certainly. What do you need?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus was actually planning to go to the Ebonwood, too. (:3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Say... I know we had some stuff from other Mace Branches here. Letters, key reports, such stuff&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">Ebonwood group: you find the shop locked up tight. Why? Well, the HQ party is about to find out, seeing as on the way to HQ, they've practically run into a rushed half-elf and 'human' pair, being followed by a one-eyed cat running at full-tilt trying to keep up. &gt;.E

Meany:<font color="#996600">Oh frack. :U

Meany:<font color="#996600">They've gone up a HD.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's odd. I thought they would be open today.&quot; :.

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">You're being a jerk, master! Wait for me! &gt;.E

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hrm? What are you two doing out here?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Something's wrong.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- So you are back. Where is Sszeyl?&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, I remember you guys...&quot; Calrach says as the group at the HQ is approached


 * Sszeyl whistles.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I think he went to find you at your shop.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;And a hello and a good morning to you too.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Indeed..?&quot; He frowns.

<font color="#0000ff">TMG is disconnected.

</i>Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Let's go to Pearldust, then.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;They also have magic items. :3&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus makes some subtle gestures.


 * Rusal Ebonwood mutters something in Undercommon under his breath. &quot;When. He may be in some danger.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Sseyl has Shield Other cast on him again.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi's eyes narrow. &quot;What kind of danger?&quot;


 * LiNeer takes the opportunity to clamber up her master's robes. &gt;.E

<font color="#0000ff">TMG has connected.

</i>Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm.. no. I'm inclined to find the others, now. If there is something wrong, it could be part of 'that' business.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Yo. ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Purchases can wait.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Pffft. You look so clumsy climbing, cat.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Dangit.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Tathi: &quot;And a hello and a good morning to you too.&quot; Calrach: &quot;You're Ebonwood, right? He said something about going to visit your store.&quot; You have disconnected.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Do you know where the others went?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Last thing I saw.

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;A group of inquisitors arrived at my place of business with questions regarding his little possession difficulty. Where was he going after my shop?&quot; The wizard is already halfway to pacing off.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you check whether a particular Inquisitor is ever mentioned in there? I think the name went...Harold Brinston&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not really. Presumably back to the HQ barring other business.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Can someone zap me what I missed real quick? :.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brinston? Let me see... which branch?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Let's check, then.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( One sec. ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Weren't they out and about shopping?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If it helps, one of the branches up in the desert.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I was rather hoping to catch Zairith first, though..&quot; &gt;:

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who is Zairith?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ebonwood worker?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Yes.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He spoke with us once through a scrying spell. When we first met you.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;He teaches in the basement.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Strange place to teach.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;He is dark trench elf like me.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;We like dark places.'

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, the inquisitors went to find you?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;huh.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't have more specific information like that.. except he was supposedly working for us.. what, sixty years ago. Probably long retired, or a dwarf.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's be on our way.&quot; He frowns and looks around the shop pensively.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, yeah. The cat got out of the bag, so to speak, on our most recent outing with the Leaden Mace agents accompanying us, they were to make a report to their commander and we were to hear back from them.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Here we are, found him. Inquisitor, specializing in information gathering.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">I hope Thomas cast Shield Other on Swallowtail too. =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So... he *is* a real person?&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;How did it get out of the bag.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What more can you find out about him? &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh...the red nearly broke through before the amulet kicked in.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( She would need a ring she doesn't have. And he only has one casting of it today. It's not for random non-front combatants, or Thomas would rapidly kill himself taking random people's damage. :B ))

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did the beast break free again?&quot; He actually looks worried.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But the effect was noticed.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( :B ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi shakes her head slowly.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nearly, only for a split second before the amulet did its job.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">To the HQ~

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But for all intents and purposes, no.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyls still safe, as far as we know.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's see... undercover worker... most famed for his use of an intelligent magic cup in pursuing information. It is said that he had a goblet that could create elixirs of truth that were more effective as long as the person who was being interrogated did not realize that they had imbibed an elixir.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;It disappeared from Mace custody when Brinston was killed on duty.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">brb, afk

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">The wizard pinches the bridge of his nose. &quot;... and you told them how much, dare I ask?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;By Cuthberth's Cudgel!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">HERESY.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt quails a bit.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anything about the cup in there?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Everything...&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just what I've told you.'

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;....&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Look out!

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">He's going to blow!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's stuff I need to check.. but bloody hell, we might have bloody found that thing.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you even realize what you may have done?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's annoying as hell, and I thought there's some foul play involved at first...&quot;


 * Lethiriss leans over Rusal's shoulder. &quot;Sss... calm yourssself... it'sss not possssibly that bad... Otherwissse, they wouldn't have adressssed you asss Ebonwood...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But.. hmm. Once I arrive, I have to ask it more questions, and hope as hell it wasn't corrupted by whoever took it from him&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Yeah. We were told as much.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If the commander feels strongly about the situation, they said he might order Sszeyl to be executed.&quot; Gnogglebolt droops.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Hah.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thanks, brother. I owe you one. Pity I wasn't there when we recovered it.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;That wouldn't happen.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;However! We were careful to emphasize the amulet and our quest to get the other pieces.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did the boy give you any hints at all toward where he might be going?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Let's see.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;He said he had a trial, and to buy nice clothes.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Shopping. You expected any more or less of Sszeyl?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;There was talk of visiting you.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;And...that's it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyls aid just that, he was heading to your shop. You only just missed him.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*said just

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's a little unfortunate... =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, hang on.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">My plan was to speak with Zairith before the inquisitors.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But... we... were in Mustering Cave for some reason. &gt;:P

Meany:<font color="#996600">Hatari, flips the table: All my plans! Ruined!!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can't you use your magicky-thing to talk to him out of the air? Like you did for us when we were in the Sargano tomb?&quot;


 * Rusal Ebonwood growls. &quot;Of all the days -- Lethiriss, come. Let us go there -- if he isn't there, my scrying implements are. We can only hope those fools haven't taken matters into their own hands already.&quot; And the wizard sweeps off down the street at a quick pace.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, okay then...&quot;


 * Lethiriss looks back at the group briefly before hurrying after him.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I have an itching feeling we should follow.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt follows 'Ebonwood'

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everyone else coming?&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Absolutely!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Brb.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*If anything else isn't in the way, Miron rushes wherever he seen Calrach last. Also known as &quot;We need to talk&quot; moment.

GM:<font color="#000000">Good grief, are the pair Hasted? Ebonwood group, this would be about when you'd arrive back at HQ if you're going back there.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hahaha

GM:<font color="#000000">Miron, you can meet up with the Ebonwood group now if you like, as Calrach was last at HQ.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Could we maybe run into them or something, lest we keep trading places looking for each other? :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;His shop was locked up. I got a little worried. He's usually open this time of day.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We came looking for you all.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Apparently, the leaden mace didn't heed my warning, and now there's inquisitors looking Sszeyl.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus raises a brow. &quot;... What're you talking about? Warning?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">so, did Miron join up with the rest, or not?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, yeah, thomas. It's locked up because they were looking for you. Or, specifically, Sszeyl. We were just following them back to their shop, actually...we must have lost them somehow.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes, he did.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Did he hear Tathi say the above?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes, he did.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also, reason why they're looking is some inquisitors came to their house asking questions about Sszeyl, and now they're freaking out.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">That's what happens when you have +30 land speed.


 * Thomas Lazarus just sighs haggardly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... I was hoping to catch him first, and relieve him before that happened. Warn him. Naturally he would react badly to an inquest.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your warnings aren't something commander Ashmore has to base his decisions on, Tathi&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is he nearby?&quot; -_-

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, like said, he was heading back to his shop for his 'scrying' tools.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can meet him there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shall we go?&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">Well, now he is.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Very well.&quot;

Miron:<i><font color="#000000">At least Ashmore seems to be sensible about all this.

</i>Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;... waste... of a scrying spell...&quot; he's growling under his breath in Undercommon.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">The studio audience laughs.


 * Lethiriss is fighting hiss-giggles while following.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Missed your spot check, didn't you?

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait, is Ebonwood with the rest of the group, or they are apart?

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=w=;


 * Rusal Ebonwood sweeps up to the group, LiNeer riding on his shoulder comfortably. He seems a little out of breath.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, hello again.&quot;

Miron:<i><font color="#000000">Either way, I'm an idiot. Shouldn't have allowed the drow to go anywhere before the Commander has decided.

</i>LiNeer:<font color="#000000">You need to exercise more, master.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is everything alright? We were just at your place.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;And we're all one big happy family again! :D &quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">I'm a wizard. -.-

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, everything is not all right.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Happy&quot; is a bit relative. &gt;.&gt;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...why? What did the inquisitors tell you?&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl, perhaps you'll confirm. Why were there inquisitors at my place of business asking about you?&quot; &gt;:|


 * Thomas Lazarus releases a sigh. &quot; Yes, that.. . I was hoping to see you before them to relax your fears in advance. I see I'm too late.&quot;

Barbarus: <font color="#996600">(( Back. ))

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Start now, then.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus holds an open palm up. &quot;It's likely not as bad as you believe. But during our operation in the North, some of our Mace allies caught on to Sszeyl's condition.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Once again, Ebonwood and all of them are in a large clusterfuck somewhere on the street, right?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes, VAE. x3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Standing and arguing all over, like gypsies?

Faerie:<font color="#006666">No, that's only Tathi and Aelian.

VAE:<font color="#000000">(It's what slovak gypsies are like)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Long story short ... we couldn't keep that matter from coming to light. It's under investigation, and Mr. Toris and Mr. Ebonwood were to be queried over it.&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Cough.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">&gt;.&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sszeyl's not under arrest. If you were concerned about that.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Quite.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;At least, not yet&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, Cadamon told us that they'd just want to gather more information before rendering a verdict.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Arrest is hardly the foremost of my concerns.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus raises a brow. &quot;I understand.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Until I see a warrant from the City Guard, or Akellon military, it isn't valid either way, Miron. =3=&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So you can have a chance to tell them directly your side of the matter.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..But it can't be helped at this point.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; He pauses, then nods coldly to Miron. &quot;Inquisitor.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heck, we could all go and visit them right now, clear up this debacle.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*looks at him*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Unless you had other ideas, of course.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Gnogglebolt, I think it may be best to leave well enough alone now.&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">&quot;You think it wouldn't be better to clear this up as soon as we can, so we can focus on more important matters?&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, alright. I was just suggesting that Mr. Ebonwood would want to present his side of the story, since that's all the Mace wanted, they just wanted to talk to everyone first.&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Pretend Elros said that. &gt;.&gt;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">crap, be back in 10 minutes.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Kay.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;You think it wouldn't be better to clear this up as soon as we can, so we can focus on more important matters?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Ebonwood briefly.


 * Thomas Lazarus then looks back to the others.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not sure that would serve any further purpose.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Lia? You still here? :x ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes, still here.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Okay, thought you'd lagged. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Yay for nolag. :3 ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The clearer it is, the worse this situation gets. I'm sorry to have even gotten Mr. Ebonwood involved. But I can't tell a bold-faced lie to a superior asking me. I will not. So it's come to this.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who said anything about lying?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That is nothing to be ashamed of, Thomas.&quot;


 * Lethiriss is trying to hide her face from Miron's gaze. &#171; &#160;1d20+16 = 1 + 16 = 17&#160;  &#187; Disguise check...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Earlier. Explaining to Cadamon and dropping Mr. Ebonwood's name.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But, anyway. Mr. Ebonwood.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">hm,m that'd be Sense motive, or spot?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Spot.

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, fail

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nope.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl is, as far as I know, under your care. What do you want to do right now?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ones on skill checks aren't autofails.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Untrained Spot

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( They just usually don't meet the DC. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( :o ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">*The inquisitor suspects nothing.. well nothing more than usual. Too focused on the debate.*

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;You seem to have a high opinon of this Cadamon. I can only hope your faith in this man is rewarded.&quot; The half-elf's tone is noticeably cooler than usual by a few degrees.


 * Thomas Lazarus closes his eyes. &quot;I do. Things are not so bad that you need to be rushing after us worried for your friend's life. T'was exactly why I was at your shop in the first place.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Oh well.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">He pinches the bridge of his nose. &quot;Damage control will take time to formulate...&quot;


 * LiNeer is watching Miron with her one eye. &gt;.|

Miron:<font color="#000000">*ice cold* &quot;This Cadamon is a senior Leaden Mace member, and a honest man. The only ones with reasons not to trust him are ones who fear the law.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Not a happy gnome.. it seems this is one of those &quot;hate at a first sight&quot; moments.*

VAE:<font color="#000000">OOC, LiNeer is just cute.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">The younger drow gives the Miron a narrowed look from the side.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">But nothing said, not yet.

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Forgive me for not knowing the structure of your organization, inquisitor.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs. &quot;In any case..&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros thinks that if -he- can come to terms with Sszeyl, Miron ought to stuff it. THough he doesn't say anything.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( *high-fives Elros* ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That was the full cause for your alarm, wasn't it? No mentions of apprehension.. or perhaps news of other troubles that might've surfaced in the week we've been gone?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Understood... &quot; *still looks at him*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">back!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright. So, now that we're sure we're not all going to the Mace right now, what now instead? Many of us have other errands, as well.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's..&quot; ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And don't forget to stay in groups, those assassins are still out there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Have they made any moves on you since we were gone, mister Ebonwood?&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Very well. I assume you were going to my shop to do business as well as supply warnings?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;If I feared for my life from the Inquisitors, I would both contact you, and report them to the Guard. :p&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Yes.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Was that in Common, or Undercommon?


 * Thomas Lazarus nods sheepishly.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Undercommon first, Common second.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3=;;

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( The yes was in common, I mean. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, just checkin'.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Sszeyl I assure you that if you had a reason to worry for your life from the inquisition, the Guard wouldn't help you. &quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus is oblivious to the undercommon, as expected.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... wait, does Miron speak Undercommon?

VAE:<font color="#000000">NO

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I have to speak with Calrach, or better said, his new 'friend'&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm? What about me 'n Cole?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;D'ooooh. That cup that makes jerk elixer. You do that!&quot; &gt;:O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi gathers up a few things, and then waits for the DM to have time to go tree-shopping. :&gt;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, so he did. Hey, Cole. The dwarvish gnome wants to talk to you.&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;You already are, but all right. Please speak.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks at who the package is addressed to while Calrach stands outside the door.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas tromps off to the Ebonwood to get his purchasing taken care of. Somewhat sheepishly, considering.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Last time we met you ware speaking about one of our Inquisitors&quot;

Winged Mailman:<font color="#000000">It may be interesting to note that the letter to Sszeyl has a return adress in Undercommon script, from the town of Greyspire.

Winged Mailman:<font color="#000000">The package is adressed to the Vigilant Guardians as a whole.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; I am so sorry about this trouble, &quot; He grumbles. &quot;I could have strangled that Gnome twice over by now for running his mouth about this.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which gnome?&quot;

<i><font color="#0000ff">TMG is disconnected.

</i><i><font color="#0000ff">TMG is disconnected.

</i>Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Swallowtail, if you see anything you think will be helpful on our trip, I can buy it...I think.&quot;

<i><font color="#0000ff">TMG has connected.

</i>* Thomas Lazarus sighs lightly. &quot;I suppose it doesn't technically matter at this point.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Thomas Lazarus: &quot;I am so sorry about this trouble,&quot; He grumbles. &quot;I could have strangled that Gnome twice over by now for running his mouth about this.&quot; TMG: which gnome? :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..I apologize for not getting here sooner to give you a heads up.&quot;


 * LiNeer is sunning herself in the window.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Rusal Ebonwood: &quot;Which gnome?&quot; TMG is disconnected. TMG is disconnected. Sszeyl: &quot;Swallowtail, if you see anything you think will be helpful on our trip, I can buy it...I think.&quot; TMG has connected.


 * Sszeyl looks and- :.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Can it be hazarded that Ebonwood has a belt of the Stone Dragon? =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Interesting...&quot; Gnogglebolt takes the letter for Sszeyl inside and puts it on the table, along with the package. Does the package say who it's from? If not, he'll read the letter attached.

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;I doubt that you had any inkling of how quickly inquisitors can work when they scent a potential threat to their home territories.&quot;

Winged Mailman:<font color="#000000">The package's return adress is from Redtree, and the envelope attached is very fat.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Redtree? Huh. :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He opens up the fat envelope...

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What more can you tell about the time you have been with the Leaden Mace?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shakes his head slightly. &quot;I've some. I am one. But it doesn't mean I don't have to lose all sense of subtlety.&quot; He sighs. &quot;..Anyways.. I trust things won't escalate any further.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">It would be rare, but feasible.


 * Sszeyl blows the dust off of it. =3=

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, let's go sit inside.&quot; Calrach suddenly says, and walks through the door with Cole.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hmm, what check or spell would be useful to check if anyone has corrupted or otherwise messed with the cup?

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;For everyone's sake, I hope you are right.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;How strange...Sir Ebonwood, is this supposed to be broken?&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;What would you like me to tell you?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yeah. It's divisive in our own group more than you might expect.&quot;

Winged Mailman:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt opens the envelope...


 * Thomas Lazarus glances to Sszeyl.

Winged Mailman:<font color="#000000">And many many papers spill out.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*follows Calrach and Cole*

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mon in, Miron!&quot; Calrach calls at the doorframe

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Broken?&quot;


 * Sszeyl holds up a belt made up of broken slabs of slate.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, my!&quot; Gnogglebolt looks at the massive stack of letters. &quot;What on earth is this about?&quot; He picks up a letter at random.

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;I make it a point not to sell any merchandise I know to be broken. Bring it here.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks at the belt blankly. &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 10 + 2 = 12&#160;  &#187;

Letter:<font color="#000000">Vigilant Guardians,


 * Sszeyl brings it there.

Letter:<font color="#000000">I hope that this letter finds you in good health and safety. Redtree has been mercifully calm and peaceful ever since you came to our little town and took care of Briarclaw; we occasionally see signs of the witch's former minions in the woods, but in vastly smaller numbers than before. The Redtree militiamen are watching over the spring for now, but word from Kethanis' sect is that they're sending a guardian within the week to watch over the headwaters full-time.

Letter:<font color="#000000">All of the children in town (and many of the adults, too!) have their ears open any time a bard comes through town lately, trying to catch news of your latest exploits. When I told them I was writing a letter to you in Castleton, the next day, the inn's mailbox was stuffed full of notes for you... hence the confetti if you opened this envelope quickly. All of them are curious about Jolenta and Mr. Elmyer; if you know where they are, could you convince them to send a letter our way? It would ease many minds.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. I had a purchase in mind myself.&quot; He looks about the shop a while.

Letter:<font color="#000000">Our new priest, Father Germain, arrived about three weeks ago, and he's been settling in well. However, we've been noticing something strange around the graveyard lately that even he is a little mystified by. Let me ease your minds and assure you that it's nothing harmful or frightening; quite the opposite, in fact. Every few nights, it seems someone is coming by and cleaning the graveyard. No one's seen who might be doing it, but the paths are swept clean and any offerings that were knocked over are righted by the time the sun rises. Some of the kids have been talking about a &quot;calm happy light lady&quot; they see if they sneak out to look early in the morning; I haven't seen anything myself, but the place does feel noticeably calmer. You have more experience with strange things than any of us do; do you have any idea what our mystery groundskeeper might be?

Letter:<font color="#000000">Feel free to stop by any time your journeys take you our way. There are a lot of people here who would like to see you again someday. The inn's doors are always open!

Letter:<font color="#000000">Sincerely, Brenner Fox

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah... that belt. No, that is its normal appearance.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's face spreads into a soft smile as he reads the letter.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;What is it's function, then?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Good news, I take it?&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;It was sold to me by a wandering warrior... of a martial art school I believe he called the Stone Dragon.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(I assume you aren't dealing with Cole and Miron due to being busy. In the meantime i'll hack my script to accept and we'll deal with the three later, k?)

VAE:<font color="#000000">(ok, you see what i'm trying to handle, right? )

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... wut :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He sits back and closes his eyes with that smile. &quot;Not the praise, but the knowledge that we really are making a difference makes our work all worthwhile...see for yourself.&quot; Gnogglebolt hands Elros the letter, and settles in to read each and every other letter, too. (no need to write them all out though Liatai. :B )

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Smalltext in logs?

VAE:<font color="#000000">yes

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;It was a tool granted to students of the school to allow them to use advanced techniques that they did not already know, to teach them how to use them, I believe.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hatari; yes.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Ah. :.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;How much, then?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Was trying to get Danman to modify his script to accept smalltext and bigtext

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll just give you the highlights.

TMG:<font color="#000000">since we're using them more often

VAE:<font color="#000000">also ?

Letter:<font color="#000000">We will never be able to thank you enough for all you've done for us. Please know that you are welcome in our fair little town of Redtree whenever you come around. We will look forward to it. Sincerely, John Holland, Mayor of Redtree

TMG:<font color="#000000">dan; yup, there ya go

Letter:<font color="#000000">Thank you heros! Tell Jolenta we all say HI!!! From Daisy Hart

Letter:<font color="#000000">(There is a scribbly stick-figure drawing in the envelope depicting the Guardians who went to Redtree standing near a red tree and smiling; Barbarus still has his eye and arm, Thomas still has long hair, and there's even a &gt;8[ -ing Venezuela stick figure and a Honduras!)

Letter:<font color="#000000">You fought well, boy, though you mule could still stand to learn some manners. -Hilda Strapp

Letter:<font color="#000000">There are a few other things in the package; a pendant-sized wood carving of a wolf (with no note, but the initials DB on the back), a box of herbal tisanes with a thank-you note from Ianae Arabinnedare, a 5-pound wheel of cheddar cheese, ten woolen scarves in various colors, a catnip mouse, and a box of buttery biscuits.

 * Thomas Lazarus returns to Sszeyl and Ebonwood with a pair of boots in hand, looking rather curious himself. &quot;..Stone Dragon? Oh dear..&quot; ^^;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">I smell CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE-

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;You are familiar with the school?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm not really all that familiar with that sort of 'sublime way' martial arts thing, but I've definitely seen it used. My father and sister practice it.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<b><font color="#996600">MOUNTAIN HAMMER!

</b>Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..It's kind of frightening, really.&quot;


 * Teeny Rin ineffictiually hammers Tom. =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's sprits are lifted higher and higher as he reads. &quot;Ahh, everyone else must read all this when they get back...&quot; He counts out the ten scarves, then counts in his head who he remembers being on the Briarclaw mission. After that, he takes one scarf and wraps it around his neck and snuggles up in it. ^.^

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aw, crud.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*spirits

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Where are these belts in the book? XD

Elros:<font color="#006666">That is not teeny, rin.

Elros:<font color="#006666">o.o

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Me and Edaric are so totally causing mischief off with Ezer.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Liatai; magic items section. Actually, look for the crown of the White Raven.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi and Aelian come down the stairs, seemingly packed for a journey.

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Woo, mischief! :U

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And then it has in tinytext below it, the other items.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They all function in the same way as the crown.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh hello, Tathi and Aelian! Going somewhere?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Finally going off to elope together?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Got some time to spare, first? :&gt;&quot;

Meany:<font color="#996600">The weakest, the version I'm getting is 3k.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt waves a letter.

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Three thousand gold pieces.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Three hundred platinum pieces are handed to the Rusal. :u

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Quite. We're going to be looking for a tree large and strong enough to support a wood elf noble's home. A base of operations for my little side project.&quot; She says, and then notes the letter with a raised eyebrow. &quot;What's that then?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&#171; &#160;3000/500 = 3000 / 500 = 6&#160; <font color="#996600">&#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">That's six pounds of platinum. =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sit down and read. There's quite a bit to go through.&quot; My, but that looks like one happy gnome.


 * Ezer will totally sneak into the ladis' bath or something. Because non one would suspect the cat. :o


 * Thomas Lazarus dons a furrowed brow. &quot;Some of the things they've done are ... mage-like in how impossible they seem like they should be. I've seen temple monks practicing their art. But even they cannot lift things four times their mass, or cleave their walls with their bare hands, or leap directly to the roof of multi-storied buildings.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's something else. ... I've never had any talent for it. But they do. They're pretty much monsters..&quot; ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi sits down and takes the note, having a read, but in the meantime, there's someone pestering the gnome.

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">Hi! Hi! Hi! :&gt;


 * Rusal Ebonwood raises an eyebrow.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, in good spirits, turns around in his chair and scritches the doggy. &quot;Ah, good pooch! Good puppy!&quot;

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">Yay! Scritchies! ^_^

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;That certainly sounds as though it may come to be useful in the days ahead.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach eventually gets the first letter. &quot;...ooh. They want a bard to tell them stories, huh?&quot; He grins widely.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">The cat is painting the town red...

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Literally. =3#

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Anyways. I've long had my eyes on these.&quot; :3 He sets down a pair of Boots of Speed.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know what my first stop is when I part ways with you folks to spread your story.&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">By the way, when is Miron going to come inside and finish interrogating the cup? -3-


 * Edaric ambles back into HQ, with a stringed instrument on his back.. that isn't a lute. o.o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smiles as she finishes the letter. &quot;Ah. That was heart warming. I wonder if we'll find time to go there again. Maybe when we don't have assassins breathing down our necks.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">WHO ARE YOU

Cole:<font color="#000000">That would be Tech. This is me.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;I told you.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">I think Hatari was joking about Edaric. :B

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;That they weren't going to be so expensive. =3$&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;What would you like to know?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ah. x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- *snrk*

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Mmm.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I like the smiley. XD

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;That's going to be fun to use.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ditto.

TMG:<font color="#000000">VAE? Ya there?

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Also.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Remains to be heard how different the tone quality is.&quot; :9


 * Sszeyl places a glass humanoid eye on the counter.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Barbarus! Edaric! Come, sit, read!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;How much would it cost to enchant this to grant the wearer sight?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Le read. .o

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see you've had a windfall, to be able to purchase such items.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Pfft.'

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Vene would never learn manners.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;She's too violent.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay, I'm a straight-minded honest lynx, so let's get this straight.

Barbarus: <font color="#996600">(( She's like if Tomiko was a mule. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">Was there, or was there not a session 53?

Barbarus: <font color="#996600">(( But worse. ))

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;I would have to research it in more depth, Sszeyl.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#996600">If Vene is ever awakened.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There was.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Silly Liatai didn't send me that one

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll send it along. XD

Meany:<font color="#996600">She will take Warblade levels.

Meany:<font color="#996600">And conquer all.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;We'll be back in time for the trial. Let Sszeyl know that.&quot; Tathi says as she heads out the door with a wave.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;hey!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah...okay.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Did you get your scarves?!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah yes! Wait!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Take your scarf, first!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi blinks. &quot;Scarves?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aslo, I think there's something for Kor here...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Ah, alright. :3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you. A pride myself on it. It's gotten me a lecture or two back at the sun temple.&quot; =w=

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you aware of the fact that they can carry an enchantment much like any other blade?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good day.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes.. but..&quot; ^^; &quot;..I'm usually scrabbling to pay off a debt to someone or another all the time. So it'll have to wait.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;That's because you wouldn't take the gold if it was a gift. :B&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see.&quot; That's a small knowing smirk. &quot;Unless they are a master's work, of course, they will not carry an enchantment, but I'm certain you know that already.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hello.&quot; :3

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( To buy, or not to buy Gauntlets of Ogres Strength. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( *.* ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Keep in mind it gives an Enhancement bonus, which doesn't stack with most magic-based buffs. It's the solitary reason Thomas hasn't bothered.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But it's not like Sszeyl buffs himself otherwise. |U

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Troof.

Priest of St. Cuthbert:<font color="#000000">Well, that's a new face. &quot;Hello. What can I do for you?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Gauntlets get!

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom!&quot; The hatted inquisitor waves.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">:D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh..?&quot; He nods at Flint.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's one of us, Frost. He's cool.&quot; |3


 * Thomas Lazarus displays his badge in a palm to the Priest. &quot;Junior Inquisitor Lazarus. You must be new here.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi shrugs, dons the scarf, and they are off.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Back to the HQ~


 * Thomas Lazarus gives Smoke his ritual lovings. |3

Priest of St. Cuthbert:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is it that obvious?&quot; The priest chuckles nervously, then salutes. &quot;Leiden Frost, junior analyst.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hmmm~

Faerie:<font color="#006666">...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">While I'd love to dive into the Hostel NPCs, what is everyone else up to?

Faerie:<font color="#006666">**Leidenfrost

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;The commander decided that our dear lieutenant commander was overworking himself doing acolyte work like holy water and minor healing. So we've got a new secretary.&quot; |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi and Aelian are looking for a suitable setup for the Seeds. :&gt;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Unless Swallowtail has something she wants to buy with my last 600 gold? :o

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is starting to draw up architectural blueprints for his planned school, now that he's got moolah.


 * Liatai give Faerie cookies!

TMG:<font color="#000000">As well as starting on a new tech device.

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( :o ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">What the new tech device is, I dunno. :B


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I can't disagree.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros is minding his own business in the HQ, and providing a bit of extra guard, lest anything decide to attack (again).

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Things went well on the raid.. but we could all use a while off duty, I think.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I'm fine with what I have. &quot;I will gladly repay you when I have the money, Swan Song. Thank you.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's a shame you missed it.&quot; |3


 * Anise Berilan makes a face. &quot;Tell me about it. I've been hearing accounts all over.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;And now I'm stuck with investigative duty instead of punching out some undead minions.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;No repayment needed. :3 I am repaying you for my education, Tutor Swallowtail.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Don't blame me. You heard where my vote fell.&quot; |3

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Damn, that was a jumpy half-elf.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">The Drow appears! Glad now in a slate belt, and gauntlets of rugged leather with heavy iron studs in addition to his normal gear.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Jumpy half-elf?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">He's also looking noticbly more...physically powerful.

Foxthulhu_Sama:<font color="#990000">Techy, you've been invited to dinner and Paranormal Activity 3 tonight with dad, step-mom and myself. What say you?

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah. That Ebonwood guy. Is his cat usually that evil-looking?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Door is held open for Swallowtail. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm. He's just a private kind of guy. He's a good sort. Probably just didn't know what to think of inquisitors showing up at his place with questions.&quot; ^^;;;;;;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Ah, welcome back Sszeyl, Swallowtail. You look well.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay, done

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Thanks.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">needs to read up now, though

VAE:<font color="#000000">Logs are on wiki, all fit as a fiddle

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Mail for you. .o&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">danman; ah, cool, thanks.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">The cat has a white scarf on his neck.

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;What would you like to know, inquisitor?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">The Drow takes the letter addressed to him.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Greyspire...where is that?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We can catch up later. Flint's probably been spoiling all the good parts, anyways. I need to see Richter.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods to all present.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Frost. Good meeting you.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;South... east of here, I think. It's a big academy town. About a week on foot, I think.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">In the meantime; Miron's reaction? :&gt;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Followers of Vecna? While I won't require you to go into detail about the procedures involved, I would appreciate a rough timeline. It might even be helpful with respect to our present investigations.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Reading up...

Sszeyl: <font color="#996600">(( Lia lives! ))


 * Thomas Lazarus smiles as he reads through the letters, seeming somewhat distant. &quot;...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..I thought I felt a presence looking over me, that day. I'm glad things are still going well.&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wasn't with the Vecnans for a long time. Three years, perhaps. Far too long. From there it becomes a jumble of adventurers and shops and thieves and storerooms.&quot; =3=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Scarf get. :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, cat and dog people, need advice. I'll hop over to Liatalk for that.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anything that you feel to be particularly important? &quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">:.

GM:<font color="#000000">Tathi, what would you like to do? Where are you going?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ghost had to bail.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh. ^^;;;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He's stepped out already.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yeah, Ghost's gone, but he left the server up.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Requested minisession later.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Miron ignores his port? :.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what port?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I don't think he seen it yet, what with speaking to the cup.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Ah.

<i><font color="#0000ff">Foxthulhu_Sama is disconnected.

</i>Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not certain, it all blurs together. The most recent highlight was my time with Kyle Talrain. Good man. First time I'd had an Ehlonnan partner in seventy-two years.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kyle Talrain? Who was he? Some sort of druid, I suppose?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">arghlblarg! gotta run again

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;You don't remember?&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;He was the inkeeper, you doof.&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Feline-looking fellow. Owns the White Stag in Blackwood.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Ohhh. That reminds me.

GM:<font color="#000000">There's one other bit of mail I forgot to mention.

Meany:<font color="#996600">:u

Meany:<font color="#996600">It's a bomb.

GM:<font color="#000000">An invoice for 30 gold pieces from the White Stag Inn.

Meany:<font color="#996600">A letter bobm.

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Mail for me? =3=

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Aww.

Meany:<font color="#996600">bomb*

GM:<font color="#000000">For cow removal. =3=

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">x3

TMG:<font color="#000000">*snrk*

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ta-THIII! You got some 'SPLAININ' to do!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+14-2 = 8 + 14 - 2 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Still trying to get the thing to sound right... :9

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'd like to visit them again...&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Getting better! :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But it seems impossible. Our troubles wouldn't allow it.&quot; He frowns.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh well.&quot; =3= He wraps a scarf around the lower half of his face.


 * Thomas Lazarus spasms. &quot;..!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I need to write home..&quot; ^^;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;All the more motivation to get the troubles over and done with and come back safely, right?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Oh?&quot;


 * Teeny Rin slaps Miron in the face with his portrait. =3=

Teeny Rin:<font color="#996600">Repeatedly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's on the way out West. I... there's no way I could show my face back at our estate without atleast writing something.&quot; D:

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've been putting it off way too long. Cold feet, I guess.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;That kind of family, eh?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;You mentioned servants earlier... estate... Are you a noble in hiding?&quot; Uh oh. Bard ping.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No.&quot; He frowns. &quot;..They're incredibly kind. It's just..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've sort of become an Inquisitor since I last saw them. They think I've been safe and sound in the sun temple as a templar, still.&quot; =w=;;;;


 * Thomas Lazarus waves a hand at Ed. ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Ah.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Would they dissapprove?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm not. But my father is a Knight and mother a Lady.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">back, argh

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">The cat sews a garment. .9

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... uh... wow.&quot; o.o

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Technically, it doesn't pass nobility down to my sister or I. But we have a nice home in Lorellon.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">:.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;As in, a knight-knight? Warrior of the kingdom and all that?&quot; o.o

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Twitch.


 * Thomas Lazarus looks slightly embarassed. &quot;Yes. He was knighted near the end of his adventuring career.&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Do you know Sir Comescu, then? :.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus considers. &#171; &#160;1d20-1 = 16 - 1 = 15&#160;  &#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He might. Untrained knowledge nobility.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">He might have heard of him. A half-orc knight, recently achieved his title, works up north usually.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not personally.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;My parents are a very down-to-earth couple. We don't have a lot of friends in the high nobility.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Ah.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Well hey, if they were higher up, we might not have you here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;True. :.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus grins sheepishly.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Still... whoooo. Your dad's a knight.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, him. I didn't quite spend enough time in there.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;The closest thing we had in Oakridge to a knight was a nutty old soldier.&quot; ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Still, why have you not sought to return to the Leaden Mace?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Technically, all Orgolloyss monks are members of the nobility.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Mm..&quot; ^^; &quot;It's not something we tote around any more than it deserves to be. I've taken after my mother in serving the people with the Pelorites. And my sister probably wants nothing better than to get out from under his reputation. Apparently, he was pretty accomplished before he retired. But I've never really seen him seriously fight anything. I don't know.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Hell, we're all members of the -ruling family.- =3=;;&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can't exactly move by myself, inquisitor.&quot; -3-

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... I'm still just Thomas, at the end of the day.&quot; :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You can speak by yourself just fine, though.&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;In any case, my purpose extends beyond the Leaden Mace's purview.'

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;So, Just Thomas.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;True enough.&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;What do you intend to say to them? :p&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;When we come to call, and invariably tease you to death?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And that would be? &quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Hey, that's my line. .U&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">Speaking of which, Tom is scented with sunflowers.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">=3$

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;That is getting close to ruining the mystery for the good halfling.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, I already knoew that whatever you do to drinks makes people more chatty.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Exactly how and what kind of chatty were're talking about here isn't all that big of a deal, I think. x3 The jig's pretty much up already.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks down a bit, somewhat alarmed. &quot; Gods.. I have no idea. . I guess I just have to explain why I've.. decided to change my life and take up this new resolution as an Inquisitor and adventure with you all. I think they'll understand. They'll just probably be worried. And... rightfully aghast that I hadn't said anything till now. And could've died already. Without them ever knowing..&quot; He sounds pretty guilty. &gt;:

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then we shall talk in private.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;As far as I can tell...you make people more likely to speak their minds?&quot;


 * Sszeyl pats Thomas.

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;They would have worried regardless.&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though... I suppose it wouldn't hurt. I would like to do as much good as possible in this world as I can. The Leaden Mace are full of fine individuals, however, their tactics are often... pardon me. Too harsh, and too strict.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;Probably more so, knowing who you were fighting when.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3=;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't think I didn't hear that about your family too, thomas! Man...your dad, a human, still alive, and a full Knight...he must be -powerful-, really powerful.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;One has to be strict and harsh to deal with the scum of this world. I believe you have experienced that yourself during your stay with us.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs.

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;The purpose of truth and good in the world extends beyond laws, and sometimes the rules of the land don't provide the best way to do the best for everyone.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">...

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I bet nothing else would bring him down here to lay down a beating on his enemies and show just why he's still alive at his age like hearing his boy's in trouble.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Sszeyl actually laughs.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;I would so pay to see that!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">Full face down, fist pounding the table laughing.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Oh dear, he's gone crazy again.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Are you okay?&quot; =3=;;;


 * Sszeyl points at Miron and keeps laughing.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt pokes his head trhough the door of the workshop.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...everything okay in here?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Swan Song is amused.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3=;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I disagree.. good depends from man to man, but the law applies equally for ev-&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Uh.. what?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the bloody hell !?|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Huh. Oh, hey there Thomas!&quot; Gnogglebolt says, completely ignoring Sszeyl.


 * Thomas Lazarus waves. ^^

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone tell tha.. Sszeyl to bloody shut up.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;One has to be strict and harsh to deal with the scum of this world. Hahahaha.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Everything going well, Gnogglebolt?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#996600">&quot;You have no idea how much you sound like a Drow. =3=&quot;


 * Sszeyl chuckles, then goes upstairs.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Why is that in any way funny?&quot; =3=;;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros eyes the discussion, but says nothing.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt plants a hand on his face.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;I believe the vernacular is 'zing.' .U&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The mind of a lunatic finds new meanings even in old phrases, Thomas.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus assumes it's a culture thing. =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A-anyways..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Yeah, everything's going well, Elros.&quot; Gnogglebolt says, through a hand. &quot;Almost done drawing up some blueprints, and I've begun work on a new project.&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;... anyway...&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;You see now why the Leaden Mace and I have temporarily parted ways. Philosophical differences.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach holds Cole closer. His expression to Miron is such a &quot;Neener-neener-he's-mine&quot; face

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;When you and the Mace parted ways one of our inquisitors died.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I wouldn't ever try to pull dad out here to save my butt from anything, even if I had been on the level with him about my adventuring all along. He's retired, you know? He's in his sixties.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It would be... super weird.&quot; =w=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hope you aren't insinuating that those events were somehow accelerated by your will&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor, are you insinuating that it was my fault somehow?!&quot; The cup sounds wounded.

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course not!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Wow.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Haven't you ever heard 'respect your elders?' Have you seen what old fighting men can do? There's another saying that goes 'Beware those old in a profession where most die young'.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Your dad's like...super old.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;A new project? Anything of particular excitement?&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;I would never! Harold Brinston was a fine man, I would have worked with him for many more years!&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;If your dad ever finds a reason to wind up his fist, it will be awesome to see.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Heh..&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh the nightmare montage going through Tom's head.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not sure yet. I'm still in the preliminary stages. I'll let you know when something takes shape.&quot; OOC-code for &quot;The player doesn't know what he's making yet&quot; :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Once again, I sincerely hope it was so.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;I mean really. .o Most people of my species die at around age forty from old age. What a gip!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No, catfolk die-of-old-age-age is around 75-90. A little shorter than humans, but not THAT much shorter. ^^;;;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Well then, don't be a stranger.&quot; Elros chuckles slightly.

Barbarus: <font color="#996600">(( In a -tribal- society, that wanders the dessert? I imagine that forty is pretty old. ))

Barbarus: <font color="#996600">(( Also, I lost the book that listed dying ages. ))

Barbarus: <font color="#996600">(( =3= ))

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor, you wound me deeply. To imply that I had a hand in a trusted partner and friend's death is absolutely intolerable.&quot;


 * VAE sides with Barb. Even 100 years ago, the average life expectancy was about 50 in USA

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm..&quot; He nods once. &quot;He's getting along in years. Although I imagine he could still teach our enemies a lesson or two, if some of the things on the mantle were any indication.&quot; ^^; &quot;..But it's also the principle of the thing.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fantasy. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Where mortal wounds and diseases can be healed in 6 seconds. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm a man in my own right now, and I presume to be an Inquisitor. A demon-slayer, no less. I can't just.. call my dad to save me from things..&quot; ^^;;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 17 + 4 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Sense Motive.

Cole:<font color="#000000">It's the complete and utter truth.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Besides.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;You wouldn't call your dad.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lia, that all can be calculated with.. we'll say later XD

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Also, is that the total average, or the average past childhood?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, Meany, Races of the Wild.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'd get into trouble. he'd find out. he'd come down, shatter the earth, and then give you the sternest talk of your life.&quot;

Barbarus: <font color="#996600">(( Aha. ))

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;That'd be awesome to see, too. :3&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Because iirc, those do tend to be different, if you assume living past childhood diseases.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I don't know I'm rolling with PHB ages and stats and such lay off me a little. XP

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=w=;; &quot;I kind of want to prove myself instead of be saved. I'm kind of the runt of the litter.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am sorry, but many supposed allies we meet turn traitors. I haven't know Inquisitor Brinston and the first time I met yourself you have behaved rather.. suspiciously.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have to watch for this kind of thing.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also, hey, dwarvish gnome. Stop making poor Cole upset. I'll put him away if you keep this up. :/ &quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">The owl-light's feathers are puffed. &quot;I forgive you, for you spoke in ignorance. However, please do not say such things to me again.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I will only be glad if I won't be given a reason to do so.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Poor cup. My sympathies. |3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, meanwhile, retreats back to the workshop to continue working

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... !&quot; &gt;:.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+14-2 = 2 + 14 - 2 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hey, hey. Swallowtail. Get Gnogglebolt please?&quot; |3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Pop goes the guitar string. &gt;:O

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;S&#236;.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gnoggle-bolt?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas says please come here.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;You really should try and instrument that doesn't have such breakable strings. :P &quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">*an instrument

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm? Yes?&quot; Gnogglebolt looks up from the bench, seeing Swallowtail ash she turns back. he shrugs, gets up, and follows.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Is there more than one way to make strings that would work?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus pats an empty chair. &quot;Sit down a moment! I just thought of something.&quot; :3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;One of the constant hazards of being a string-player.&quot; ^^;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes? What is it, Thomas?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh...okay...?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Fix fix tune tune strum... &#171; &#160;1d20+14-2 = 16 + 14 - 2 = 28&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">:D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... ... ... ... ...&quot; *_* &quot;So what's this about your spellcasting sister.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's what I'm saying. Stop playing string instruments. :P &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt takes a seat next to Thomas.

Thomas Lazarus:<i><font color="#FF0000">Trapped between a cat and a hard place. *_*

</i>Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; Gnogglebolt's forehead meets the table.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thought so! The string just needed replacing!&quot; Edaric keeps strumming idly, happy with the sound.

Thomas Lazarus:<i><font color="#FF0000">Gotcha! *_*

</i>Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... that would be like telling you to stop singing.&quot; O_o

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach just sticks out a tongue at Edaric.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Come on, come on. I've been talking about my folks.&quot; &gt;:3

Calrach:<font color="#000000">He also suddenly turns about. Ooh, dirt!&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">minus the &quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Hey now, I'm not -that- hard.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's not even funny.&quot; :\ Strum, strum... &quot;... there's this flamenco I've been wanting to try, but it doesn't sound right on a lute...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;ugggghhhhhhh.&quot; is all Thomas hears at the moment before Gnogglebolt sits up. &quot;Alright. What do you want to know?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I should not have been laughing so devilishly and amusedly during that trap.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">^^

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach watches Gnogglebolt intently, deliberately leaning an arm of the table and everything.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, come on now. How bad can it be? Who's she? What's she like? Why do you groan like a falling tree every time it comes up?&quot; :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I get picked on by my sister, too. Come on, come on.&quot; &gt;:D

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way, if you have nothing more to say about yourself, we are done. Though, know, I and my brothers would appreciate a few bottles of your .. produce now and then&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Cue Clint-theme. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agaH80PYEpY

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot;Friend, I believe you misunderstand how my magic works...&quot; =3=;;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is quiet for a moment, before his mouth twists into a half-sneer as he starts talking. &quot;I suppose it's not that bad, she's my sister obviously, she's five times as anoying as any big sister, and I groan because she's kind of the oddball of the family.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He answers very quickly in rapid-fire, trying to deny Thomas any satisfaction.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What.&quot; &gt;:O

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What, what?&quot;

Cole:<font color="#000000">&quot; Am I a cow to be milked...? &quot; =w=; &quot;They are only good for fifteen minutes, and they need to stay in me until consumed to be effective.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I challenge you to produce a more intolerable big sister than the one I've got.&quot; =3=;;; &quot;What does she do for a living?&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't worry, I'll protect you from the big--er, small--mean inquisitor from just using you thoughtlessly!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Wait, did Thomas just summon a gallon of water on Gnogglebolt's head?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">No. Edaric's head. =w=

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh. x3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Count me in, I've got four -- ack!&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;My sibling is dead.&quot; =3=;


 * Edaric is promptly sploosh'd.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3=;;;;;;;;;;;


 * Thomas Lazarus doesn't rebuke Elros.

Cole:<font color="#000000">It's the truth, Miron.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt points at Edaric. &quot;That! Things like that! You think your sister is annoying? Can your sister tell her little scurrying animal to eat your notes? Can your sister use magic to change all the lables on your alphabetized book collection? Can your sister make your breakfast oatmeal explode in your face from the next room over?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Drip, drip. =w=;;;;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way... this only means we'll have to ask you.. soon before it's required.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus seems half-ways between delighted and paralyzed by Gnogglebolt's remarks. x3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Suddenly, it all comes together.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Magic+sister phobia! x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Yesss, finally. All RP has been pointing to this all along. :&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">anyways

VAE:<font color="#000000">the sketch is done, moment to scan and upload it

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Calrach puts Cole on the other side of him, away from Miron. &quot;Hey, you got your spells of truth, and you can buy elixers by yourself. Get your own. :[ &quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... guess I should count myself lucky I'm the only spellcaster in my family...&quot; =w=; Edaric starts cleaning off his new guitar.

Barbarus: <font color="#996600">(( She -has- started fires that way. ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean, you're only a few years out of toddler age, playing with your favorite toy, when suddenly it springs to life and declares it wants to eat your soul. -3- &quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Oh, Thomas?&quot;

You whisper to Faerie: Gnogglebolt: Gnogglebolt looks up at Thomas, and he knowingly sees that universal expression of an epiphany of comprehension, and deduces what it is. Gnogglebolt: &quot;Yeah.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;My twin brother is actually, factually, trying to kill me. =3$&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know he's someone who is uncomfortable with you.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus huffs lightly, shaking off his amusement. &quot;No, no I can't say that she can do any of that. Oh, but she so would.&quot; =3= &quot;Mine's as bad -- or maybe worse! It's way past just jokes! It's.. it's.. some kind of crazy deity-identity complex! How about yours? Can you ever succeed at anything? Can you ever be good enough to meet their impossible expectations? Like I can't just be a good person and 'as strong as a human? I mean, have you ever met a human who talks about human standards like they were something to be ashamed of? It's all Kord's blood this and 'when are you going to shape up out of being a runt' that and 'when're you gonna get married' and then she pile drives me into the lawn!'!&quot; &gt;:O


 * Thomas Lazarus was on a tangent and not paying attention for a minute.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... am I the only one with no brother or sister?&quot; =3=

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Sszeyl!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;He says his parents tried to sell him as a slave. :.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's eyes widen a bit at that.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;So no siblings there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No...My sister never went so far as actual physical abuse, no. o.o&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Wow.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;We should gang up on her and break her legs. .U&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus scoffs.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... ouch. Sounds... sounds like Tiana times ten.&quot; ^^;;;;;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;She could take on all of us,&quot; he remarks flatly. =3=;;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...perhaps we could just...avoid her? I don't think physical injury is the answer here.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;ALSO.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;I heard you guys told some people about The Dragon.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A-anyways..&quot; ^^; He seems slightly embarassed.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;You're going to not do that during the trip west.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Capiche?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But...yeah. My father is a great architecht, designing towers and bridges all over Mazio. My mother is a teacher and a politician, helped introduce new systems of education to parts of Mazio. I'm the son, following the path of the tinker and engineer.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Capisco.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And then there's my sorceress sister...who just happened to sprout powers one day.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Speaking of, I need to send another letter back to them while we're here...&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Amayan: &quot;(When did you learn to speak Amayan?)&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus offers Gnogglebolt a sympathetic shoulder-pat. =3=;;;;


 * Barbarus struggles to answer.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;(The toys coming-to-life thing admittedly sounds horrifying.)&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Also, saw the bit about his mother is a teacher and politician? That should explain a few other things about Gnogglebolt's behavior. :&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hahahaha

Liatai:<font color="#000000">XD!!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Nice.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I was just happy at the IC note of finally understanding Gnogglebolt and how his backstory fits into it. :&gt;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;You know what they say about Sorcerers. .3&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...No. What do they say about sorcerers?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;That they're descended from dragons.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus A-HEMs. ^^;;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, that, yeah.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Maybe you and Sszeyl are distant relatives. =3$&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh. That. Carry on.&quot; =w=

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;How about you, Calrach? Any siblings?&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Nah, no siblings. From the sounds of it, fortunately. x3&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just gives Barbarus a flat stare. &quot;...Yeah, I don't think so.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. We're biased. Apparently.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aw, it's not all bad.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm going to go off on a limb and guess most sisters can't bring your toys to life in a nightmarish mockery of your imagination. Or pull a tree out of the ground and whallop you in the back with it.&quot; =w=;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;My brother could fix you with healing magic one moment.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Then set you on fire the next.&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, um, if I were to have a sibling, I can safely say I'd have horror stories of my own. Very thankfully I was the only one due to circumstance.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*sighs* &quot;So be it, but what a waste of such potent item, which could be used bringing criminals to court.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... my siblings sound so mundane compared to that.&quot; =3=;;;; &quot;And my older sister can catch a cow with her bare hands.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Hey, Miron. .3&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Goes off to the main room, with everyone else there.*

Calrach:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, how would being chatty be useful in court? It wouldn't be allowed, unless...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What?&quot;

Calrach:<font color="#000000">Comprehension dawns.

Barbarus:<font color="#996600">&quot;Sszeyl left you a gift!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is it poisoned?&quot;

 * Meany drums fingers. =3= Good. Good.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Either way, erring out of ignorance, especially on someone who saved his life once already, is nothing that horrible.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Oh, Fae.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Mm?

VAE:<font color="#000000">As I said. As long as there isn't knowing, conscious sabotage

TMG:<font color="#000000">Fiacco...sounds like an itallian orchestra. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">i.e. we needed someone like that

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh.. though poor Miron .. his mind state will be like.. 'that drow is utter frigging asshole and we probably should have him executed or restrained... but he paints awesome&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">XD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That silver lining!

Meany:<font color="#996600">It'll grow.

VAE:<font color="#000000">means someone has flushed a piece of staniol.

GM:<font color="#000000">Campaign file saved.

Meany:<font color="#996600">Not to me. =3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">Besides, Miron will probably dislike him even if he had a halp

Meany:<font color="#996600">Still too much influence of Vargie.

VAE:<font color="#000000">*halo

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">WHY

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... good grief. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">XP
