''Railock has connected. ''

''VAE has connected. ''

''Meany has connected. ''

TMG:just hopping in so I can keep a log...may have to leave at any time, yet might have some time...

Liatai:Ghost, which map was throwing an error? :.

Ghostwish:So who's this mini-session for?

VAE:lynx needs to sort stuff out

Ghostwish:Oh, the guardian one. We fixed it though. He hosted it on a server and I went and grabbed it.

Railock:guardian fairgrounds map

Ghostwish:Ah, okay.

Railock:must of messed up during export

Ghostwish:I'm gonna go make breakfest.

Meany:Ta.

Ghostwish:(Railock, it occurs to me.. if you have noscript, the gmail is very script heavy. Might have tripped it)

Railock:<font color="#000000">maybe

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Loading map...

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">It's about 100sq feet. :o

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

Railock:<font color="#000000">thers...19 different images in total. some are repeated such as seating..but it's not complicated images are from the big downloaded pack map objects I was told to get long time back, nothing special

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Pancreas.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you knw the weird Al song, meany?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fair warning, my brain is chugging a little today. :B

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Vaguely.

VAE:<font color="#000000">so is mine


 * Meany joins the chuggers~


 * Meany puts out flagons of tea.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">8|

VAE:<font color="#000000">so, where we finished was miron being off to report.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">(45 minutes! &gt;.&gt; )


 * VAE loading log in his netz

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tech, when did game last start on time ? :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Tech, the game doesn't -actually- start until an hour after scheduling.


 * Liatai bops the Tech lightly. &quot;You know the game never really starts until 3 anyway. =3=

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Also, Lia, when you can, quote off a price for 100sq feet of booth space, while I spam rolls for my guy's creations. =3=

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">In between your plotz of course.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Seperate from the Guardian space?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Merged with.

TMG:<font color="#000000">the game HAS really started at 11 am for me before! D:

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... bluh. Spelling folks, help me out, I always get it wrong.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Months ago, Tech.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Is it seperate or separate? :B

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Separate.

TMG:<font color="#000000">No, just a few weeks ago, that one week where I only had unknown limited time to show the party the new HQ... &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Speling what

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Getting much larger than the Guardian space currently is will take extensive Diplomacy and likely, pardon, piss off your neighbors unless you're on the outskirts. :B

Ragnar:<font color="#A14D7F">Hmm, how much would a stage cost for crafting purposes? &gt;:.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Need I remind you that this is three days before the festival and most people have reserved their spaces a month to six months in advance?

Railock:<font color="#000000">do we need larger than that?&gt; I thought that included all you needed?

Ragnar: <font color="#a14d7f">(( True, Barbie reserved his space a while ago, which is why the reservation cost is coming from my pool. ))

Ragnar: <font color="#a14d7f">(( And the stuff we're selling from everyone elses. :3 ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I am confused as to why you would need a 4,000-foot space... ^^;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">But anyway. Tea get! Minisession go? :3

Railock:<font color="#000000">4 times the space we currently have? bwahh?!

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">100sq feet is not 4000... :x

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Is my math off?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">tea get

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It could very well be. ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I should make more

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">200x200?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">100x100

VAE:<font color="#000000">4000 is 200x200

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">In addition to 100x100.

VAE:<font color="#000000">40 000

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">o-O?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I am confuzzed.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So am I, Meany.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So am I. =3=;

VAE:<font color="#000000">2e2 * 2e2 = 4e4

Railock:<font color="#000000">okay. yeah not thinking straight. right now, 100 x 100 is 10,000 square feet

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's why exponential notation is best

VAE:<font color="#000000">4e4 = 40 000

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I used the Blast Template.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The Guardians currently have a 100x100 space.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I put it just outside the area, and measured 100.

Railock:<font color="#000000">so you want to double waht we have?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Are you asking me what it would cost to gain a further 100x100 space to add onto that?

Railock:<font color="#000000">100 x 200?


 * Liatai facedesks. &quot;I FAIL AT MATH TODAY. XD&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">We're asking for the price of what the 100x100 is by itself.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Math is the fundamental structure of the universe. &gt;&gt; Now get to minisession while I roll!

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">*claw brick'd*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ahh. Okay.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That depends on what part of the festival you manage to land yourself in.

Ragnar:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;10+7 = 10 + 7 = 17&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Craft, Woodworking check for the stage, week one. Week two, &#171; &#160;10+7 = 10 + 7 = 17&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; :U

Liatai:<font color="#000000">100 GP for outskirts. 300 GP for outer circle. 500 GP for inner circle. Center would take massive massive Diplomacy things and such.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">SIDE QUESTS. *_*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Inner circle spaces are still available?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I say outer circle.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">We are for the people, after all.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm not trusting myself to do math here. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;170+170 = 170 + 170 = 340&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">No, I say center. *_*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Ghosst.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That should be enough to get a very basic stage and booths set up. :3

Railock:<font color="#000000">IGamal was putting forth 100gp towards buying the space.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Our diplomacy mod is single digits.


 * Edaric coughs. &gt;.&gt;;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Woo~

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">SIDE. QUESTS. *_*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Then do it yerself. :U

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">With Ed. :U

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And Gnoggle. :U

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Liatai, do I get all the bonus xp for myself if I do it myself?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You get flails and scrambles. XP


 * Fazshmere pounces Ed.

Darroth Denbury:<font color="#000000">... I think my tavern's a bit small for yeh, dragon. How'd yeh get in here anyway? ... And yeh want anythin' ta drink?

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

Railock:<font color="#000000">I think. we should let vae have his mini session, and deal with this during main

Fazshmere:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh yes! Could you take a shot of everything you've got, mix it together throughly, and sprinkle some sugar on top?&quot;

Railock:<font color="#000000">as were probably distracting liatai

Fazshmere:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Also, shapeshifting is fun. Always be wary of cats.&quot; :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay, diablo III just about might work, but in current conditions is enough to overload lappy even in menu

VAE:<font color="#000000">settings will need to be toyed with

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No, Boddynock, go away, I'm trying to clean up maps. ^^;

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Techlicious.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Does Gnoggle mind people using the alchemy lab in the old HQ? :.

VAE:<font color="#000000">mission accomplshed, tea got

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Commander should still be in his office upstairs. Watch out for book boxes.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Book boxes? Do we have new stuff, or did Smokey begin using our shelves as a toilet?&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nah, Tom didn't tell us anything, really. He seemed distracted by his company. A Moscran mummy and the drow. Came in, talked with the commander a good long while, then headed out.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's better trained than that. Didn't anybody tell you about the move?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah.. Gamal, that new guy. You know.. he 's got his head on the shoulers right.. more so than some others in there&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Move ? I heard something about a new building, but not too much..&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're gettin' so many new recruits we're startin' to outgrow this hostel. There's a new one getting built in East, with proper archives and catacombs and all.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">DM, did you get my inquisitive sheet? ;3

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;No more will you bookish types be shoved in a closet-sized room.&quot; :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I believe I did.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's... Hell, that's something we must *definitely* drink to.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where in particular is it?&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're gonna laugh, I think. Remember that place with the owlbear skeleton in the basement we cleaned up with the Guardians way back when?&quot;

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

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Cuthbertine church's come in and given the place a spiritual cleansing top to bottom.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh? Who did it?&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;The old building's been cleared, all the anathema destroyed, a consecration spell, the works. The entrance from the underground's been sealed up, too.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(i'm assuming there are fair connections between the church and the Mace, given its origin. He's essentially asking if he knows the priests in question, or is it someone from hell far away)

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aah... don't remember the priest's name, you'd be better off askin' the commander or lieutenant.&quot; =w=;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Somebody local, though.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">afk, but not totally Gone yet.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heh... You know.. a place like that, to be put forth for the good work... It feels so damn right.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyways.. I'm gonna see the Commander and Richter.. then tell ya some of what's been going on. Fun stories.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But there's folk to look out for, too.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That aside.. what about the Blackskulls?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They been laying low.. I don't like it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's the sound of shit stirring.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;They're everywhere, like always. Good practice for the rookies. No real high-ups have shown up yet aside from Lundy.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm.. nope. She wasn't a real blackskull, just rode on them coattails.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mostly two-bit necromancers who've just raised their first zombies.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;She was a selfmade woman.. with a bunch of selfmade pets.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyways. Will tell y'all more after the report's done.&quot;

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

Aldura:<font color="#000000">Yip yip yip!

Miron:<font color="#000000">With that, the inquisitor runs upstairs, and ...

Aldura:<font color="#000000">A little barrel-shaped pup galumphs up to the inquisitor. So tiny!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Cadamon...Richter.. and ..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's this, a hallway meeting?&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miron!&quot; :D

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You lot can't stand the heat downstairs?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron walks to Richter and shakes his hand.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heard we're packing!&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lydia frostweave made me ROFL

VAE:<font color="#000000">brilliant token

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd wondered when you were going to show up -- you have to meet the new recruits.&quot; ^^ &quot;We are! Though granted, we've only managed to pack away about one shelf's worth... you know how it's been, with books being used to make shelves for other books...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">epic powerdress, and reading glasses

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The full picture also has a pretty kickin' greatsword, too. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heh.. yeah. I suppose it's for the greater good.. you know, like shelfspace bigger than that of Smartarse novice.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(yeah ,that's the nickname for saltmarsh society :3)

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

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh. I see you've already met Aldura.&quot; ^^

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah.. for Cudgel's sake, you lot keep bringing these beasts in.&quot;


 * Cadamon Gardner smiles and nods a greeting, not wanting to interrupt the reunion of the bookish ones. |3

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;It wasn't my fault, she followed me home...&quot; ^^;;;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though like I said to folks down... I met one that was your height, roughly. Don't think anything's gonna surprise me, dog-wise.&quot;


 * Aldura bounces around Miron's ankles playfully. :D

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's it with you and these dogs, Richter.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">The beanpole of the archivist blinks. &quot;... My height? My word.&quot; o.O

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:P

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Should get an owl.. if the one I've seen is anything to go by, they're the only sort of animal that doesn't try to mess me up.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't know!&quot; DX &quot;They just seem to keep showing up --&quot; Archivist flail!

Jim Lane:<font color="#000000">You hear some chuckles from the archives and further down the hall.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You know.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">If he summons celestial corgis.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's a chick up in Braxton that's got one. Hell, it can open doors.&quot;


 * Richter Malino slumps a little. &quot; I can't seem to summon any other kind of celestial dog... &quot; =w=;;;;;;;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Would he summon fiendish chiuahaus?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, there's so much we could learn from that town.&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">chihuahuas arer already fiendish

VAE:<font color="#000000">they are devil's work

Aldura:<font color="#000000">Bowr?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know... when I went up to their branch.. they were all. You're from Castleton, hell, you must have so much a bigger branch, better organisation, more folks in service..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just stared at them going.. 'Uh, right'...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*notices the dog* &quot;Hmm, small one.. you'd want to lift me up by my collar too? Hell, good luck growing to that size.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, hopefully, that will take a drastic turn for the better once we're in our new establishment.&quot; ^^; &quot;We've already seen a recruitment spike after the incidents in Blackwood!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Blackwood?&quot;


 * Aldura wags her tail and tries to lick Miron's hand.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Mundyville.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Castle Osyluth?&quot;

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Where the Castle del Mundy sits.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Sparkling in it's pink bedazzled evil.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You remember I spent most of that one puking jellied blood.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You are now picturing a castle where every surface -every single one- is bedazzled, and wondering how anyone can live in it and not be blinded.

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way.. seems like at least some things aren't heading down the latrine.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is Commander Ashmore in, by the way?'

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I got hold up in the city.. spotted Silverthrush acting suspicious.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:v

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sorry, sacred canine duty struck

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

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;He is.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">no prob

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor approaches Commander's office, and knocks on the door.

''<font color="#0000ff">Dr. Hatari has connected. ''

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Enter!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">hey Hatari

VAE:<font color="#000000">Might have gotten DIII to work

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Yo.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, I'm not seeing VAE's typing notifications... is anyone? :.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*salutes* &quot;Inquisitor Steelsprocket reporting!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hmm?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I'm usually seeing y'alls

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Lia: No.

VAE:<font color="#000000">do you got them turned on?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">like, the flag in the corner

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">VAE do you have the flag under the smiley clicked?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I do

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE, try clicking the little green flag.


 * Dr. Hatari is seeing typing notifications from VAE now.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aha, now I see them.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">If it has red on it, it's disabled your notification.

VAE:<font color="#000000">http://campusbasement.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/thumbs_im_gonna_get_stuff_done_today_nope-1.jpeg

VAE:<font color="#000000">This is so very true :3

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">The commander puts down the report he had been reading. &quot;Inquisitor Steelsprocket. Welcome back to Castleton.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*nods* &quot;Thank you.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There have been .. concerning news, Commander.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Report. Inquisitor Lazarus has left a paper report, though your own observations will be welcome.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;At least that.. Hmm.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;First, there's the ... unfortunate situation with the drow.. Pellan'zyne A.K.A Arivan Marathal, Cal'tel, Zairith, Altonor. The second and the last especially dangerous and subversive.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You have been informed of the occurences that took place on our first visit in Thalinde, Commander?&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Through jumbled reports and heated scrying communications, if I recall.&quot; The commander steeples his fingers.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;In short, the situation was just as I feared, maybe even worse. The lot are drow with ties to a drow colony outside of Akellon's borders. Lolthian drow.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You should probably mention that they are not Lolthian themselves.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Considering for Pell, it's impossible. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">But that would be out of character for Miron -- *ker-brick'd* :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pellan'zyne himself is mainly harmless and appears a honest Pelorite, but either manipulated or insane enough to believe they can wrestle the power from the city's Lolthian clergy .. somehow, eventually.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">That's easy to do.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Take a Lolthian, add fire, wait five minutes.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Rinse and repeat.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:&gt;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;However, as of now, they act so as to preserve the city's existance and counter the actions of Akellon's drow, who, if I am to believe various independant accounts by both them, and Sszeyl, have liberated themselves from Lolth's influence sometimes after the war to worship... fuc- er what was his name. &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Orgolloys. A demigod of some sort, apparently.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;EIther way, together, they are dangerous. Recently, there has been what appears to be one of them, Altonor, namely.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They... informed the local militia a particular drow is planning to steal an artifact located in the city. On the day, they found her in place, tied up like a stuffed turkey.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There was evidence of Altonor and his.. pegasus or what the hell does he ride, showing up.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">They promptly stuffed her with a turkey.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now.. the issue is.. I have both learned that she was a particular prick in the- a problem for them...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Furthermore.. .she belonged to a drowish house specialising in espionage and information peddling. Performing such a crime herself is far out of her modus operandi.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, good thing she's jailed anyways, never enough drow behind bars.. but the Braxton Falls mace branch officials essentially agree with my conclusions and will investigate further.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;The artifact's name?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;A staff and a gem.. used to belong to a wizard conjuring owlbears... lemme..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 6 + 9 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge (local) If the player can't bloody recall, the character has to

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The Staff of Ragil. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right.. Staff of Ragil.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see. Continue.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now.. there's more. As you know... Altonor is a dangerous anarchist causing trouble both in Braxton Falls and elsewhere.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell... it's through him .. the whole business up in Yoriver.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's apparently involved, and if I can speak my mind, no doubt making a bad situation into worse.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have requested two of my old-time colleagues to compile reports on the situation.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your report conflicts with several from Yoriver, however, continue. How fared your mission regarding the dragon spirit?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I understand they have arrived...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;RIght, excuse me, commander.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The dragon spirit.. The second phase of the binding was successful.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If I am grasping the situation, there are two seals in place, and to take control, the spirit would have to break both.&quot;

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

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The easiest option the spirit would have now is essentially attempt to facilitate the death of the host body, hoping it will be able to transfer to another, as your research has found out earlier.&quot;

Boddynock:<font color="#A14D7F">Put an alc. lab into the old HQ, since Tech hasn't answered. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way.. while there, we have performed a task for Salishea.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have also notified the High Commander of Central Akellon of the situation in Yoriver. The High Commanders, upon your information and that of other inquisitors', have begun to stage a formal inquest into the situation. Concerns of corruption among the higher echelons of the Leaden Mace are not to be taken lightly, as I am certain you understand. I mentioned that I have several highly capable inquisitors who are interested in the situation, and the High Commander has sworn to alert me when he has any definite information to pass along. We will be expecting information in two weeks' time.&quot;

Boddynock:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;10+4+2 = 10 + 4 + 2 = 16&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; &#171;  &#160;10+4+2 = 10 + 4 + 2 = 16&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Two weeks of alchemy crafting for things. Perfume, lotions, hair dyes, etc. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Commander.. if I'm to be frank, my stance is that dog's voice doesn't reach the high heavens. The concerns of corruption are coming from individuals with a vested interest in showing us as corrupt...&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;A task performed for such a bastion of law along the coast honors you, Inquisitor.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Craft: Alchemy (Sodas) *bricked*

Boddynock:<font color="#A14D7F">Yes.

Boddynock:<font color="#A14D7F">*_*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way... we have halted the operation of Sahuagin Queen... a ship manned by pirates, and used for slave trade between central Akellon and the islands over our border.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Their suppliers, among others, were the goblins the Vigilant Guardian party has encountered.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;However, out of the operation, something very concerning has surfaced.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;One of their crew, a certain Rosario Cruz, I think.. it was likely a pseudonym ,either way, posing as the ship's medic.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;He was found to be a Vecnan cleric.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Paz, actually -- *brick'd* =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Due to.. a failure of the group as a whole, he wasn't apprehended.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron looks rather sheepish

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Every time I see Rosario Cruz, I think of Wein Cruz. Which amuses me. Because Wein is like the most effiminate nancy male character ever.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">http://www.growlanser-realm.com/officialart/chara/wein.jpg

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Dear god.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He's worse than Lelouch.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">A lot, yes.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;The reports of inquisitors in Jones' Rock contradict your stance, as I can imagine no inquisitor wishes to sully the name of his organization unless he had due cause.&quot; The commander looks over his fingers at Miron. &quot;... I trust you alerted local law enforcement as well as your draconic patron.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">It's like they took a woman.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;His last location is unknown... myself and Senior Analyst Thorngage from the Braxton Falls branch have attempted to scry on him using the Vecnan artifact I have recovered... we got a brief glimpse of a number of characters resembling a blackskull convgregation.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And removed the bust.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Hell, he could actually be a flat-chested woman.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have attempted to, yes.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I guess it's a good thing his surname is Paz, then, and not Cruz. :P *BRICK'D*

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;10+9 = 10 + 9 = 19&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; &#171;  &#160;10+9 = 10 + 9 = 19&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Craft leatherworking for these pelts, and other leather goods~

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Over two weeks, of course. :o

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way... the man is cunning and dangerous... the sooner something is done about him, the better..&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, minisession's -still- going on?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also... Jones's Rock? That's..considerably different from what she told..&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tech, chill :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">this needed sorting out at some point


 * Meany chews on Tech. :E

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That.. would likely be the summary of the most significant events taking place, Commander.'

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's. .. though.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">T

TMG:<font color="#000000">meany, you have a question? Spit it out quick, I'm about to go afk again

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The situation in Yoriver...I have certain suspicions..&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Did Gnoggle have a non-transportable alc. lab in the old hq?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Or did he only have the mobile one?


 * Alberic Ashmore looks down over his desk at Miron. &quot;Reports of corruption in Yoriver are not a new occurrence, but they have rarely been recieved in such large numbers over such a short period of time. Your former colleagues corraborate the notion of abyssal infestation and corruption within the city, which we will take seriously.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">'non-transportable'? I don't understand. Or, I don't understand how that's important.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Its source is being investigated.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Well, I wanted to know for accounting purposes.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;One of those present therein is the sister of Inquisitor Lazarus, she has contacted an elf by the name of Raerael Eyllisearsithek, who is.. involved in the events.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Considering I just deducted gold, and added one.

alch lab table_Dudy:<font color="#A14D7F">See?

TMG:<font color="#000000">why do -you- need to know for accounting purposes--wait.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Added one where?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Old HQ.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh. Okay.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yeah, Gnogglebolt packed up all his stuff and took it to New HQ. Nothing was left behind.

TMG:<font color="#000000">and afk again

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The issue is.. from what I have gleaned from his report, it appears that to a large part, the reason he's involved is that there's a conflict between local elves ,and the County of Yoriver over territory, on top of the trouble already present.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I .. have my suspicions that it might be the ulterior motive behind the actions of some involved in the region.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Deducted gold from npcs equal to 300. :3 Place is payed for.

Railock:<font color="#000000">meany. did you need the 100gp gamal was putting forth?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Nope. But if you want to spend that on stuff to sell, go ahead. :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Such as food. |U

Railock:<font color="#000000">Well gamal will be baking for his goods to sell, so no way it should come near 100gp for supplies

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:&gt;

Railock:<font color="#000000">liatai. how much for cooking supplies if he plans on spending most of the day beforehand cooking

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Regardless, we will attempt to refrain from wild speculation until more solid facts begin to arrive. As agents of the law, impartiality is a virtue. Remember that, Inquisitor.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Mm... roll your cooking check and we'll subtract one-third of the cost of the finished products. :3

Railock:<font color="#000000">since I'm spending a day, can I take 20? or would that just result in a lot less food made?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That would result in less food made.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speaking about facts...&quot;

Railock:<font color="#000000">well then...I'm hoping for a good roll

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">(Profession(Cook) Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 8 + 12 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;)

Railock:<font color="#000000">bah

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+5+mod = 12 + 5 + 0 = 17&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Profession Cooking check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Take +2 to that roll.

Railock:<font color="#000000">20 22

Railock:<font color="#000000">so 22 I mean

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let's say that's about... 22 GP worth of food made unless you're trying something fancy. :3 So &#171; &#160;22/3 = 22 / 3 = 7.333333333333333333333333333333333&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( I do aid another, since it's technically in the future. :3 ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;May I have a look at the reports sent in by Senior Inquisitor Garral and Analyst Feldman?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Deduct 7 GP.


 * Dr. Hatari has an epiphany.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Wait a second..

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We have a workshop of assisters..

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We could make..

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">DC 40 BAKED GOODS. *thunder*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Assembly line?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:B

Railock:<font color="#000000">Okay. baked goods made. Is there any fees associated with making the guardians an official adventuring company witht eh government?

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;The reports are currently with the High Commander in Lorellon. However, should you wish to peruse them, I can file a request for copies.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That's best decided in-session.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Though expect a bunch of Guardian logos to appear everywhere.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I would be greatly thankful if such was the case, commander&quot;

Railock:<font color="#000000">well then counting myself as still having 97 gold earmarked for fair stuff. If nothing else..to buy advertising :)

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You hire bards.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">What is this I don't even

Railock:<font color="#000000">buy flyers to be made and pay children to distribute, town criers, what not

GM:<font color="#000000">So, while this mini-session is wrapping up..

GM:<font color="#000000">Who feels like character questions? :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That.. would be all, commander.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Ghostwish! Get your white ass up ins!

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Char questions, sure. :3

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well. Dismissed, inquisitor.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*salutes* &quot;As ordered, commander.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor walks out of commander Ashmore's office, and sighs.


 * Aldura tilts her head.

Aldura:<font color="#000000">Sniff sniff... lick?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Beware, Ally.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He tastes like lemon flavored oranges.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">After sugar is added.

GM:<font color="#000000">All set, Miron? :3

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">pretty much it

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay! Let's leap forward back to Damarron 3rd.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron would probably speak with the lot moar, but nothing that can't be assumed

GM:<font color="#000000">But first! This character question should at least prove amusing if nothing else.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Make a 'pet peeve' list for your character, either in general or with respect to a certain issue.&quot;


 * Ghostwish blinks awake.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh holy shit, BOATS, infighting, DEMONS &gt;:E, gossip, a--can I just count Tathi as an entire category? *flame'd!*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Shirking.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Stuffiness.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">The illiterate.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">cowards

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">*blows the smoke off her fingers* Ahem. I find nobles with sizable collections of elven 'art' to be particularly irratating. Prisons that pass themselves off as civilization and name themselves Braxton Falls, and family members who are crazier than I am. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE, DAMNIT.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Judgemental presumptuous assholes.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Getting stoned. ^^;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">.... yyyyyyeah I'm counting infighting as mine too. &gt;.&gt;; Also the nails-on-a-chalkboard sound. HATE that sound.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">! A new torture method has been discovered.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">What, you didn't know about that already? :P

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, pet peeves.... Altonor is a walking peeve.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Hello? I got kidnapped by a player right after I stepped out of the doorway! Gimmie a break!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Eh, true enough. :B

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Bitch please.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Fork and knife on a glass plate.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&gt;:U

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But.. outright.. I can't stand big mouthed fucks who think they are all there to talk back at an inquisitor, or a town guard.. you know. Like that half-orc we pulled out of a pool of rot in a fucking cage.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;What sort of dreams does your character usually have?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">WORLD DOMINATION (and that's cue for Thomas to go I KNEW IT.)

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dreams.. oh hell.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">I tend to dream of the forest back when. Pleasent, but sad dreams.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Well.. I think I'm dreaming, and then it occurs to me I haven't fallen asleep yet and that's just Tathi laying next to me.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Eh... usually they're pretty indistinct. I don't really remember my dreams beyond general impressions they had on me. Usually I remember the sounds better than the images.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I think I dream a lot less than my peers.. &gt;: I always hear about all these interesting dreams every other day, from almost anybody that cares to talk about it in the morning... but me? I barely ever remember anything, ever. It's practically a monthly event. If that. ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Some are nice... spending time back in Jones's Rock or Starkham, or Braxton ,even. Some are allright.... &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I don't dream anymore. |3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I never would have pegged you as such a sappy type in love, Ael. :3

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">My dreams involve biting, clawing, eating cattle while it's still alive, all those gruesome things.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Yeah well I can still peg you at three hundred paces so watch it, smart ass. &gt;:|

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">I dream of the day the straitjacket is invented.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">*brick'd*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then you get things like that massive circus with everyone from here, and occassionally Altonor, and that fat catfolk who claims she's an inquisitor somewhere else...&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... I do not remember colors in my dreams. Usually they are dreams of home. Or of the day's events. Or meditative visions.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And then you get dreams like... &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Commander Ashmore turning into a Drider, Gnogglebolt skewering me from behind, Gradia being another form of cal'tel... and corpses ..spiders, demons..&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I'm not being a smartass, it's -- you know. Unexpected, but nice to see. :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Oh yes, the corpses. The corpse dreams and skeleton dreams are common.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's hard to even describe them.. and i've been having those more and more often now.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Elros dreams of being an operah singer.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not like that, Swallowtail.. worse. Undead swinging Mace badges in their rotting fists, piles of flesh crawling with maggots, each of them having Pellan'zyne's face..&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Pellan'zyne did not authorize that use of his likeness.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He's going to sue you. :u

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh wait, civil law hasn't been invented yet~

TMG:<font color="#000000">popping in...oh wow, I forgot about finishing up the Blackskulls, -that's- the last thing that was on my list :o

TMG:<font color="#000000">going after the vampire leader

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">...What?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">What Vampire leader? :V

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yeah, the leader of the Blackskulls is a vampire. I thought...oh yeah, Gnogglebolt forgot to mention that.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">The faces of those who have gone on rotting skulls, rooms painted in blood, the dead allies, the skeletons with sacrificial knives and chains...

VAE:<font color="#000000">how the fuck does Gnogglebolt know?

TMG:<font color="#000000">During the big &quot;no secrets&quot; fiasco that no one else went along with. :P

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

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">It is not so different.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;When he was a child, what did your character want to be when he grew up?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... &gt;.&gt;; A squirrel.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Dead? :U *brick'd*

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">But then a spy.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;A wizard.&quot; :3

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">I wanted to be a Druid like Tabris. But I didn't have the talent. :C

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah! I wanted to be a maester, an alchemist.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot; A chieftan of the tribe&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">A travelling musician. Which, hey, I'm doing now! :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, I can still prob'ly mix up a thing or two.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">I wanted to be el Primera Espada del Illyria. |3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm sorry.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what happen

Primera: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Note, it should be Illyrim, but I don't know how that would translate. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I read &quot;Primera Espada&quot; and every time I picture Coyote Starrk. XD

Primera: <font color="#a14d7f">(( So Illyria is also the plural. ))

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Every. Single. Time. XD

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Does that make me Lillynet? Can I cosplay as her? :3

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">No.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Darn.

GM:<font color="#000000">Hmmm, anybody got a character question? :3

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">some day, I should write a program that either displays the daily one, or picks at rando

VAE:<font color="#000000">*random

VAE:<font color="#000000">These holidays seem like the time to deal with it. Hope I still recall some C

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does your character ever get drunk or high? What is she like at those times?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">... Silly. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah, you need to fucking ask?'

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Pass. :B

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Silly and occasionally loquacioius. I tend to start singing after three or so pints, I've been told.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And well...at times, it does make me a bit... paranoid, or so folks say. Apparently I once broke through a pub's wall, back in Starkham, thinking a shadow there's a drowish assasin.&quot;

Tathi:''<font color="#0000FF">He he he he he. ''

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">PASS. FOR THE LOVE OF GODS PASS.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Hey, no fair, I answered! XP

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom.. you need to get your drinking up to shape.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Come on, King of the Mushrooms, you can talk about one time. XP

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You think Anise would want someone she can drink under the table in an hour? &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Monk.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I avoid such states&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Akellon's a state. Drinking is a necessity.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">I'm a 'conscious' drunk. I get physically drunk, but I don't get stupid. &gt;&gt;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I do not drink or get high. Though it is fun to watch others do so.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Possibly because I have few inhibitions anyway. :D

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">I am a happy drunk.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Expect hugs.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Nu! &gt;|(

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">That turn into headlocks.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">And noogies. Oh god the noogies.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">lock him in a room with shankfang

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Perpetual hug-engine!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">The bromance would be too great!

GM:<font color="#000000">One last one. &quot;What is your character's favorite color to wear? Is it the same as her favorite color?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I prefer blue, and no it is not.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">I do so love black. |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hold the cantrips. You expect me to chose just one?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I do like green. :3 Though my favorite color's more of a blue.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Red.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I do, actully like grey. It blends in.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">So no one can see the blood stains. |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looks serious and official, too,&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">muted earth tones. best not to stand out.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I prefer a camuflaged outfit, but my favorite color is blue.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">My favorite color is red or pink... but I do not like to wear them. They stand out too much. Neutral colors are what I tend to prefer.

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay! Time to get this show on the road! Who's here? :3


 * Dr. Hatari is aboot.

Tathi:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#0000FF">BORK BORK BORK

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">nobody

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What kind of boot? :P *brick'd*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">That's a lot of heel for a guy, Hatari.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Also I read Ghost's Borks as Bjork.

VAE:<font color="#000000">VAE, kinda

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">So this is a new day? ;3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Technically it was a new day last session.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">It's the afternoon of that day now. :V

TMG:<font color="#000000">I'm present-ish

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Technically, you're a buttface. I need to know for spellcastin' and dorf movin'. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay! Last session on Akellon...

VAE:<font color="#000000">hey ghost

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">we think we got Zanfib's mentor figured

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">:O!

VAE:<font color="#000000">and it is an illithid, actually

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

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

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I won the coin toss. 8&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's a broad category

Ghostwish:''<font color="#0000FF">OH. ''

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Geezus christ fucking a sandwich dude. XP

VAE:<font color="#000000">allows me to import just about anything from DnD straigth

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Gave me a start.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and it actually makes sense

GM:<font color="#000000">There were scones, and some wizard talking. Then we jumped to the dawn of the new day, Damarron 3rd. ... that is a mental image I did not need Ghostwish. XP

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">But they don't eat brains, right? XD

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Asexual parasite - teaches porn mogul.

VAE:<font color="#000000">uh. Maybe?

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">They also use your kind as incubaters for their offspring.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Vae, lynxes have short tails, and I have a big staple gun. XP

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Which will eat your skull upon coming to term.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Go see a doctor.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Like.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Now.

GM:<font color="#000000">The day opened with Tathi and Aelian inquisitioning Edaric about sleeping on the couch downstairs. Then, while some Guardians tried to sleep, Talfeera teleported in! You might not want to go into Shankfang's room. For. Quite some time. &gt;.&gt;;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Even with the soundproofing.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">We can hear the Barry White music.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Half-elven sentry deployed. &gt;:|

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come onnn, it's not worth an inquisition, lay off the eagle-eye routine.&quot; =3=;;;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Suddenly.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">A slightly damp drow.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Good day. =3=&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd looks up

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">http://the-tech-guy.net/wp-content/uploads/im-watching-you-meme.gif

GM:<font color="#000000">Go forth and RP, good souls! It's lightly snowing now.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hello Ss-.. why are you wet?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Meanwhile, this person returns from the errands he undertook during mini-session, and arrives back at the new HQ.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I explored the riverbed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Dragged some wrecks up onto shore as a community service.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hobos promptly swarmed them and are using them as houses.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;.. Did you.. tell anyone you were doing this?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah...one of the last people I havent't talked to about becomigna company..sszeyel...what is your opinion on forming the guardians into an official company?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh. I was about to say. Folks going to wake up and think there's ghosts in the river.&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Also found this.&quot; =3= And he dumps a small cauldron of coins onto the table.

TMG:<font color="#000000">afk for a bit agauin


 * Edaric keeps playing the lute.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm ambivalent. If you need someone's help with the actual chartering, I will lend my expertise.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus peers in. :.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Who the heck designed this room with only one exit &gt;.&gt;;;;;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron returns as well, having been checking the city...

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">Pounce!

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Forgot to mention

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, it's slightly realistic


 * VAE headdesk


 * Thomas Lazarus catches an aggressive kitten. =w=;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well then..seems everyone is ambivilant or for it...&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">this is what happens when a minisession takes place over two chunks

VAE:<font color="#000000">Odd elf + sign stolen


 * VAE headdesk again

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You can ask the Guardians. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">ah well, we shall go to the Mace hostel, eventually

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm..would anyone be interested in helping me find out what it would take to properly register us with the city officials?&quot; he looks at edaric

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Of course. Have you also asked any of the cat's minions?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sure!&quot; ESCAPE ROUTE GO. Thank you Gamal *.*

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">OOO. OOO. PETTINZ TIME? Annnnnd mega pounce.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">'Primera was in here earlier when we talked about it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">22 gp 4 sp on the table.


 * Thomas Lazarus staggers. {:9

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'll come too.&quot; &gt;:)

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Curses! DX


 * Thomas Lazarus laughs. &quot;Help~&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt would! Bring him along with gamal

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Vuz.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">and afk again

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Tavia, heel!&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Awww, but I still can't knock him over like all the others.


 * Thomas Lazarus head-ruffles the giant dog. |3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Feel free to use that gold for odds and ends.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sure. Let's see if we can't get the grandest spot.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron walks in, throws a short nod to Elros...

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look, if I tell you will you stop treating me like I stole something?&quot; =w=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm going to be finding more once I start dredging up the larger wrecks.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Wait, what? What'd you steal!?&quot; &gt;:O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi's giggling.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">ugh, afk a sec

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's really not worth an inquisition, I just -- I didn't steal anything!&quot; =w=;;;;

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, how does he manage that... sitting behind desk all day, not saying a word. One'd think he's been a templar, not an adventurer&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, how does he manage that... sitting behind desk all day, not saying a word. One'd think he's been a templar, not an adventurer&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hold up.. Larger wrecks? Goodness, how much has been lost on that river?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks about in confusion. :. &quot;?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Then why were you on the couch?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Exactly one hundred and twenty-five wrecks intact enough to be identified as ships.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Seriously, I went downstairs to get a drink, then sat down on the couch to drink it and play a little. When I looked up it was past midnight, so I just rolled over and went to sleep.&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 20 + 12 = 32&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bluff~


 * Thomas Lazarus smirks a bit oddly. &quot;...?&quot; He looks to Edaric.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;More that have degraded beyond that point, and are fragments.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">YOU SNEAKY SON OF A.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+floor((wisdom-10)/2) = 15 + floor((17 - 10) / 2) = 18&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; wisdom check!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm.&quot; |3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Ahahahah-No.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh.. Okay.&quot; ^^

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;See? I told you, it wasn't worth an inquisition, was it?&quot; :P

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hello, Miron.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;'ello there.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;... so why'd you dodge around it for so long?&quot; UH OH. INT HEAVY WIZURD, INBOUND. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">*bumps into Tom by accident*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry.. hell'

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because I was tired and you were making such a big deal out of it?&quot; Uh-oh. &#171; &#160;1d20+12-5 = 20 + 12 - 5 = 27&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bluff...

Edaric:<font color="#000000">DANG, Ed. XD

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">GIVE ME THOSE DICE YOU CHEATER. XP

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Ahahahah-No.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;S'fine. Think we could have fit a bigger table in here?&quot; ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, this is almost as cramped as our old library down at the Mace.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; How did he even get that in this room.&quot;


 * Edaric scootches over and makes space.

Miron:<font color="#000000">'I think he assembled it inside.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">You should've seen em get the one I have on. Wizards!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The same way I got furniture into my house.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, allright, but.. wait. Why'd you have a blanket with you?&quot; *jaws music*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's joining planks underneath&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl traces a line in the wood.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It was taken apart, then put back together inside.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus gives the elves an incredulous look.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;There was one on the back of the couch.&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+12-5 = 3 + 12 - 5 = 10&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bluff~

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">OH NOES.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+floor((wisdom-10)/2) = 1 + floor((13 - 10) / 2) = 2&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; wisdom check!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're awfully inquisitive about poor Ed and his sleeping habits this morning.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">OH YESS.

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">CURSES.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">ROFL

Edaric:<font color="#000000">... Bwahahaha! &gt;:D

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( My lungs. ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">THE RUBBER BAND IS ON THE OTHER DOUBLE RAINBOW NOW wait-

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+floor((wisdom-10)/2) = 14 + floor((17 - 10) / 2) = 17&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; wisdom check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">YOU'RE CROSSING THE MEMES.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And here no one even asked me what I was doing out for all hours of the night..&quot; ^^;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">back

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You were drunk.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Wb.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;And woke up with a strange and exotic woman.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What were you doing out for all hours of the night?&quot; :.


 * Thomas Lazarus baps Tathi with his scabbard. =w=;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">EAGLE EYES ON EDARIC.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She giggles.

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


 * Gamal-Junayd starts cleaning up the breakfast plates

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Your pants aren't smoking, are they?&quot; :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So... what are we even trying to bloody do here.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus hmphs.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, should we head into the governmental sector soon as the morning dishes are washed?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did Gnogglebolt leave his lizard in here?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Gnogglebolt is in the madness place.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Maybe I won't say. Maybe I'm jealous of your blooming popularity and want to get my own totally unwarranted investigators dogging my every step.&quot; :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I heard explosions when I passed the lab.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey! No fair, I've got too many. Let me share the wealth a little!&quot; :P

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Oop.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">The DM misread that line. :B

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;By all means, take them.&quot; :P

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Unwanted investigators?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bloody hell.. to cite a certain abishai fuck, this place is louder than a kython orgy.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yeah, we're totally licensed.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And what unwanted investigators, Tom?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What did this bunch do again?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus handwaves. |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi elbows Aelian. &quot;Ed's being a bit cooky, and then making like a four-colors bandit covering it up. It's kind of fun hounding him, honestly.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I dunno, I just walked in on Ed being harassed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Shall we go to check in on Barbarus' minions?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;The elves, Miron. They've been dogging me since morning. Literally!&quot; =w=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The hounds, eh?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Those guys?&quot; =3= (To Sszeyl)

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Good lord, I'm gonna put two arrows in the buttcheek of the next person to make a canine pun.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Gamal requests help in developing a formal charter.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm telling you, you're barking up the wrong tree with this investigation business -- I mean.&quot; &gt;.&gt;;;;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;We should also talk to more of them besides Primera, souldn't we.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus guffaws. |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yeesh, Ed, you've just got us worried that not all your dogs are barking.&quot; :3

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&gt;:O!!!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">OH SHIT IT'S TECH.

TMG:<font color="#000000">afk once more. Again, Gnogglebolt wants to go with Gamal.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Brb.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Clink. Clink. Clink. Sit! Stare.

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">Pounce the snark!

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">Pounce the rat!

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">CLANK. What the- Oh. You. *glower*

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">Bat. Roll. |3

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Clank. Plink. STOPPIT.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I don't really.. ... ..I dunno. They're just so surreal and weird.&quot; &gt;.&gt;; &quot;All those disparate personalities and people just.. roaming around together, all the time, doing the same thing, at the beck and call of Barbarus. Like they don't even have lives or concerns or motives of their own. I'm kind of glad they're in the other building.&quot; =w=;;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Presumably, they are putting up an act.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh good, it's not just me -- I'm a little worried he did something to my cousin.&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Given we are senior operatives, and they are new.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, someone actually obeys him?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Barbarus?&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">0_0

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;More than a few owe him some sort of debt.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He's a pretty generous, helpful guy. It shown through better before he got that silly magic ring.&quot; =w=;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Theres whole bunch of em.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bloody hell.. this whole business is really getting out of hand.&quot;

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">You know, in this armor you aren't very mobile. |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Thomas in armor? :3

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">Chew on tail.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">That's armored too, BUT QUIDDIT. &gt;:|


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs. &quot;He can manage his own life as he sees fit, I think. I was just, you know, saying.&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">And yes, Tom is in armor and inquisitor coat.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And he has guns.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">RUN, BITCHES.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">One of his gloves just turned pink. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Snappy theme music and everything.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">^^


 * Thomas Lazarus hrrms. :|

Liatai:<font color="#000000">D'aww. So we're in the process of bringing a set of drawers upstairs. Cocoa started clawing at the bottom of one, trying to pull up the lining. So I grabbed the nearest thing, a pillow, and put it in there to block her access.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's now her favorite napping spot of the day.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">This may prove a problem. :B

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway... if we are putting together a charter, we're going to need to say what our purpose as a group is.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus scoffs lightly. &quot;Haven't we tried to come up with that more than once?&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Be thou for the people?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Kill them all, steal all the loot?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;True, but they're gonna ask.&quot; :P &quot;Even if it's just doing good in the world, they'll want to hear something.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Tathi.&quot; &gt;:|

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What? It's what we do.&quot; ^^

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You're starting to sound like a tiefling or something.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">back again

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The promotion of well being and safety among the population.&quot;


 * Ghostwish runs for the bunker.

TMG:<font color="#000000">'for good' this time, though I may have to up and leave at any point during the day

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If we wanted to be really honest, I think it would be something like, 'Do whatever thing seems like the most good at the time'.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I also propose sub-dividing our main group into sub-groups. So we can know generally what a person's skills are.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Such as the Mace has.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But that sounds so unprofessional..&quot; :P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, I hate to say it, but I did try and bring this exact subject up awhile ago..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But no one seemed to keen on it then.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;That was then. This is now.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Yeah, someone looks a little miffed.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What about.. Defense of home and country?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gotta say, I like Gamal's for sounding professional. And Sszeyl's for professional, if archaic.&quot; :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who's home, who's country?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gamal brings up good points.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Who's population?&quot; :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's why I was trying to stay very generic...the more generic it is, as long as it sounds good..the better. Gives us leeway without people noticing.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If, in later years we grow very large, we could be asked to support the army.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Defense of home and country sounds reasonable.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So perhaps stipulating that we work for the benefit of the peasantry would be wiise.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps the first good thing to come from Tathi lately.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have many non-Kellons.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suppose that's true. We do have some Mazians in our group. And an Amayan. And a Tane.&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Our nations could go to war, and all. Let's stay location-neutral.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And Barbarus, and I.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Miron's eyebrows are bright green. Let's see how long until he notices..

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, 'home and country' isn't such a good one. I actually like Gamal's, with perhaps one modification:&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The promotion of well being and safety among the local people&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The promotion of universal well-being and safety.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thus each branch if we have branches, could focus ont heir areas.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs a bit. =3= &quot;Barbarus is a Kellon.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Not from his words. But if you say so.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's so unspecific it lacks meaning.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I think Thomas is the only local here.&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Nomad or not, he lives within this nation's borders.&quot; =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not the point.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean, take the goblins for instance. They lived in Akellon, but in a way, were 'outside' of it, and most people wouldn't have tried to help them.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's follow the motto. If I do nothing, I don't get into danger, furthermore, noone else is endangered by me. The goal stated in your motto can be fulfilled by sitting on your ass near the oven all day.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...yeah, that's just silly.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;You can endanger people by your inaction, though.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;This is harder than I thought.&quot; &gt;:9

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think Gamal had the best one, with perhaps the modification I suggested. Not necessary, though.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, we can always change it later. They'll just want to hear something now. Something to show we've put thought into this.&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I like mine best, even if it's archaic. =3= But I will support Gamals.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I can't disagree. 'The promotion of well being and safety among the population.' That is more or less what we've always done.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;For fuck's sake... &quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... that is not a good motto.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Even if we have many couples.&quot; =3=

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I support Tathi's. Either way, if a war would happen, you think the organisation would stay as-is?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt snickers.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">*snrk*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have allegiances that are more important, and I expect everyone else has, too.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, Miron, if you have other allegiences, no one said you had to stay here.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;A war would probably polarize depending on who was at war with who. Splits could happen, disband..some might jon the army anyway.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And during peacetime, it works allright, and at least says something.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And you're wrong, most of the rest of us don't have other allegiances. Other goals, but not allegiences.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, hey now.&quot; ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You're doing it again, Gnogglebolt.&quot; Tathi says with an eyeroll.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's put it to vote, then. Anybody got some paper?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt throws a few sheets on the table.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Always.&quot; Tathi says, pulling a bit out of her pouch.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Know... I probably wouldn't be here if I didn't want to talk to Shankfang, your sister, and Tom.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl produces some canvas helpfully. =3=

Vuz:<font color="#000000">:O PAPER. *brick'd*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we're going to put this to a -real- vote because of -real- contention, everyone should be here...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Aren't these things done on sheep's skin, anyway?&quot;

Vuz:<font color="#000000">MUST CHASE.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Skin from dog's arse, for all I care.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">But Shankfang is at work.. *bricked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is he?&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just an informal vote, Gnogglebolt.&quot; ^^;


 * Edaric starts tearng the paper into smaller slips.

Dr. Hatari: <font color="#ff0000">(( Ram is at work. Shankfang is upstairs. :P ))

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


 * VAE faillynx today

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;An informal vote for a formal charter presented to the governmental organization?&quot; Gnogglebolt says, sticking his tongue out at edaric

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(and I know about Ram)

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...I don't want it to be for defense of home and country...&quot; ^^;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...My dad has answered to the call of that before.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can anyone send word then to the recruits at the other headquarters then? If it is going to be decided by all?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I don't want to be put at odds with friends because of a call of duty to the nation.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Or, you know. Whatever. However that plays out.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I shall be right back.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay... let's see what we've got. One is 'be thou for the people.' Two is 'the promotion of wellbeing and safety among the population,' or people. Three is 'defense of home and county.' Why don't we do this; rank 'em on your slip. The one on top's the one you like the best, the one on bottom's the one you like the least.&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">And suddenly, zoom.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Drow blur.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">o.o???

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">DANGIT GNOGGLEBOLT. XP


 * Dr. Hatari snrks.


 * TMG giggles

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom... that's harsh words. Hell, I wasn't able to answer the call when Kemmer needed it...happened far too fast fr anyone and it bugs me, even after all those years.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Defending one's country and people against evil both outside and inside is one's highest duty.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Miron and shrugs slightly. &quot;I know, it's a big deal. And if it ever happened, I can't really presume to know what I would do..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'd just rather not think in such bold terms, like, you know..&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">To make this more impartial, you can whisper your characters' votes to the DM. &quot;-- hey, what -- huh?&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;These are all those who wished to participate. They were en route already.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">you know tech, asking for everyone to be here just about gives meany the majority vote. haha

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;'Allies until our governments have their next spat.'&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Akellon and Mazio don't even have unrestricted travel right now.&quot; ^^;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... you know, if you really want to stipulate things... Shouldn't just the 'senior members' be voting?&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Er, I did mean that, actually.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wasn't counting those fresh recruits.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's a fair point. If duty calls for it, that's what will happen. After all, wars don't grow out there on the fields, there's always a reason.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh. It's you people. *bricked*

Edaric:<font color="#000000">^^; &quot;Sorry, guys. We do have leftover breakfast if you want some?&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We know we do not get a vote. But we are here as witnesses really.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs again, frowning. &quot;...&quot;

You whisper to Liatai: Gnogglebolt takes his slip. Ranked: Promotion od wellbeing and safety of the people Be thou for the people defense of home and country

Ragnar:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Plus, we're on duty to make sure Boss didn't lose another limb while out at work.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt writes on his slip and passes it over to Edaric.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I just wanted to chat with Cousin Ed again. :3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I have my duty as a soldier of the light and the people. My enemies are everyone's enemies. I would just as soon carry on that duty in times of peace and war alike. I never want to involve myself in battles stirred by politics. Something dad and I have never agreed on.&quot;


 * Edaric passes out slips of paper.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Marks. =3=


 * Thomas Lazarus takes a paper slip and orders his choices. :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And good on you for that, Thomas.&quot; Gnogglebolt says with a nod and smile.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And suppose there was a reason great enough to set Akellon and Mazio into a state of war, I bet you'd be one of the first to make a stand, Thomas. I seen you deal with devils and demons, after all... and a man driven by the spirits of hells towards evil is no better from a devil himself.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's not easy being the son of this famous patriot.. but.. I'm just being honest.&quot; ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt flatly glares at Miron. &quot;Mazio holds no love for underbeings any more than Akellon does.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Like I said.. maybe. But until I arrive at that proverbial bridge, let's just think on other more pressing matters.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And given what I've seen, probably less.&quot;


 * Edaric tries to keep the kitten away from the slips of paper. &gt;.&gt;;


 * Dr. Hatari scrolls to check the syntax again. :9

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">You fail.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good for you, Gnogglebolt. '

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">Omf.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have never asserted a war is upcoming, after all.'


 * Edaric throws a crumpled piece of paper toward the common room. Go on, kitty, fetch! :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But since Thomas used it as an example... Once again. Starting a war isn't like let's go pick strawberries.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;There we go..&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus passes his slip.


 * Gamal-Junayd also passes his slip

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">So does Sszeyl.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron passes his slip too.. well, not like anyone doesn't know his opinion

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;When t comes to wars and such..it's best that we stay out of them unless you are convinced you are joining on the right side. And that is a personal decision. Being forced to fight for a cause you don't believe in is just about the worst thing you can do.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I couldn't agree more.&quot; Gnogglebolt says softly, though he looks to be staring into space...

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You know, we should write something for this.&quot; He cradles his chin.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A lot of mercenary companies get hired into wars.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;..&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I..said something to that effect, yes.&quot;


 * Edaric organizes slips of paper... &gt;:d

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Iiii'd just as soon stay out of that one. Maybe on a case-by-case basis.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;By stipulating in our charter we work for the betterment of the pesants.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What about, in case of war, we disband, and everyone is free to act on his conscience?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Works with Gamal, even.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well then obviously nothing matters anymore if we've disbanded.&quot;

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


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs. &quot;I just mean having a stance set out. So prospects and employers alike have some idea of what our deal is.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Of course.. I don't even know what our stance is..&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So maybe not.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, here's what we've got. Four 2-1-3's. Two 1-2-3's. One 3 and nothng else. One 2, 3, 1. One 3-2 -- &quot; He stops and looks up at Tathi.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;It could be a temporary disband. I times of war, we simply close up shop as an organization, leaving the members to do what they think best. After the war, we attempt to reform from those who survive.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What?&quot; :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Our.. Tom, you are an inquisitor, anyways.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... and one 3 2 'Nudist colony, inquire within.'&quot; :P

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;and Gamal's right.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Now how do you know that was me, huh?&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm a lot of things.&quot; He folds his hands into his robe sleeves.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt slaps his forehead.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Handwriting.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">=3=

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Magic.&quot; :P Bluff? Maybe...

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+floor((charisma-10)/2) = 2 + floor((15 - 10) / 2) = 4&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; charisma check!

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unless I'm mistaken, it sounds like Gamal's proposal won by a landslide.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 6 + 3 = 9&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Sense motive check!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">WALP. GUILTY AS CHARGED.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds like 2 has the majority all around.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;To promote the safety and wellbeing of the people.&quot; Gnogglebolt repeats to himself.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;There can always be revisions to the motto and ideals as we think of better ways to word it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We can wrangle advanced political interaction policies after we have a basic charter.&quot; :9

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">'If that's what it's going to be.. well, be it.&quot;


 * Dr. Hatari brainfarts. o_o

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB, gonna make a cuppa. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right then. Who's going down to the city hall offices to put this in writing, aside from Gamal and I?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I like it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I and the minions presumably.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Those are words that I live by.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus glances to 'the minions'. =w=;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Quite. Who wants to try a new flavor of ice cream in the interim, though? 83&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...You really shouldn't call them that, Sszeyl...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Here on the surface world..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We use the politically correct term.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Recruits, okay. Apprentices, maybe. 'Minion' has a bit off an odd connotation up here...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;'Interns'.&quot; *bricked*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Servants?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ah.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Minion is, in essence ,a small bore cannon.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances sideways at 'the recruits' to guage their body language to this.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well considering our boss dresses in bones, I don't think anyone would particularly object.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll go.&quot; :3

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;After I confirm Barbarus requires no surgery, yes.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why would he need surgery?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;No fuck.'

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He frequently returns from his place of work with internal damages, or severely broken bones.&quot;

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

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hlis and I are quite busy keeping him alive inbetween shifts.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Where does he &quot;work&quot;?&quot; o_O

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Regular?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay then. No problem.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's no problem?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor appears agitated.

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Which I will determine.&quot;

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If you will excuse me.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miron, I told you this back at the Lazarus estate. I told everyone. Remember?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So you are .. wait. Something like what he's now... disappearing for no good reason, coming back in pieces, and...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Atleast he has clerics here.&quot; =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If I'm recalling what I think I am, then that's added reason to worry &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Barbarus is getting a handle on his lycanthropy. That is the purpose of his bodyguard.&quot; Thomas stares plainly with closed eyes.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's really not a lot we can do about it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;To keep him under control. Not to protect him.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">Okay, they do not look surprised at that. =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can.. such things can be cured.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt winces as Thomas blurts it out and looks back at the recruits.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;At least so I heard.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....You guys don't look as shocked as you should be.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Zero shits given. Stern Inquisitor is stern.

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sir Barbarus feels the lycanthropy will be an edge he needs to survive when his brother comes to kill him.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not sure if I should be reassured at your calm or worried at your nonchalance.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lyconthropy?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's a werewolf?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not wolf.&quot;

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

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Mustiledthrope?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Well, it's out, I suppose. Yeah, Gamal, Barbarus has a moonbeast inside him.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And instead of getting proper treatment, to, you know, not be a fucking danger to all the public, he's wearing it like a badge.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Apparently. He was almost killed before we left for Resca and appears to have been infected. He has decided to try and control and cope.&quot;

You whisper to Liatai: Ack! Quick! Rigt now!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh, who am I kidding. This is castleton allright.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, this is Barbarus we're talking about.&quot;

You whisper to Liatai: what would Dan Highland have told Gnogglebolt about lycanthropes and The Strays?

You whisper to Liatai: would he have corroborated getting it under control?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs at Miron. =3= &quot; He's not from our culture.&quot;

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

Hord: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Yo. ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;He LIVES in our culture, in our friggin' city.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And cares very little, sir.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What can I say.. as long as reasonable steps to keep himself in check and no one is harmed..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom, think like an inquisitor, not candlestand!&quot;

Liatai whispers: I'm pretty sure I told you already... o.o But yes. The Strays have criminal connections, but they do seem to be turning it around and teaching people how to control lycanthropy.

Railock:<font color="#000000">damn java error spam wouldn't stop

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Trust me. I am.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;How long can such charade be kept?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;A..were...WEASAL?&quot; his tone sounds..amused

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Has anyone even told Commander Ashmore?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Guys, really, don't worry. The moment I learned about this and who Barbarus was involved with, I went to talk with and...expert, so to speak.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And if it's a problem, I will take care of it if it means dragging him kicking and biting off somewhere to get it cured by force.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This fuckery completely blew out of my mind, what with the drowish fucking business.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Years ago, there was a lycanthrope crisis right here in Castleton. I went to talk with a swordmaster who had a direct hand in ending the crisis.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Language, Miron.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom.. by then it'll be too late.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Or Sir Primera will kill him before he hurts anyone.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And since I know it would take no less than that, I'm going to let him have his eccentric way with it while it is still 'fine.'&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Are we quite done discussing old business yet?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The swordmaster told me that the group Barbarus is with have indeed found a way to control their moonbeasts and render them safe.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Great. Let's stick our fucking heads up our arses, because it's warmer there than the outside.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Me: &quot;Woo! Feeling wired. O.O&quot; Mom: &quot;How much caffeine have you had?&quot; Me: &quot;Um... two cups of tea and two chocolate cookies.&quot; Mom: (a night nurse) &quot;... two cups of your green tea with tiiiiny amounts of caffeine. Your caffeine tolerance level is silly. &gt;|3 &quot; Me: &quot;Pffft. :P&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Old business&quot; we've never openly discussed before. :B

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also Lia, that's indeed silly

VAE:<font color="#000000">Our department's tea would make you jump out of yer skin.

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Need to brb. =3= ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Sacred canine duty. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">They were cookies coated in dark chocolate leave me alone XP *brick'd!*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;At any rate, Barbarus is learning the same technique with them. That's what he chose.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Barbarus had three options; get it cured, let it run wild, or stick with the pack. He stuck with the pack.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was there when this was explained and he made that decision, as I told you all the first time.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs. &quot;... Not what I would have chosen ... but if it works, I will tolerate his decision. That macabre cat.&quot; &gt;|

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;He's going to have to live with the decision he's made.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus gives Miron a flat look. &quot;And before you say anything..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because he's the best one to decide. Because it only affects him. Yeah, my arse.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..It's the exact same stance I'm taking on tolerating Mace malconvokers.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So save it.&quot;

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

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor has changed colour.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Hey wasn't me.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Wasn't me.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">JINX. :P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;......Well! On that note, Gamal, Sszeyl, Edaric, recruits, shall we be off?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*sigh*

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes. Do you know where we need to go? Or at least the general area?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;We're ready!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep. I've been around the administration district before.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus listens fairly, if while wearing a disapproving expression.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;My guess would be the city government offices somewhere in North Mess.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I stay. Good fortune.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd nods, makes sure allt he dishes are done adn put up, and moves towards the door.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">... trapped. =w=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom... while I appreciate that.. it isn't really comparable. Their art doesn't cloud one's mind like the sickness of lycanthropy&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">'Scuse me pardon me oof. &gt;:9

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas, would you like to come with us as well?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're entitled to your opinion. But I still see it as chaining and channeling some inexcusably dangerous force in lieu of others just to gain an edge.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But.. eh. It's clear that whether right or wrong, I lack a single voice in support asides from my own.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks over. &quot;That's okay. I'm going to sit around here and take it easy, if you don't mind.&quot; :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think it best to let inquisitors talk, Gnogglebolt.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's leave it for now... we won't raise anything than bad blood with the whole issue.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm..&quot; He offers a soft grunt of agreement.


 * Thomas Lazarus can has Kor? :.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron pulls closer and rests his head on the table

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Clank clank clink. Sit. He's on Thomas's shoulder.


 * Thomas Lazarus smiles a bit.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Off to North Mess! And then maybe to a liquor store or tavern to wet the party's head, so to speak!&quot; |D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I would give you a finger-petting on your head and all but you're wearing a helmet. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt passes by Elros on the way out...and anime-teardrops at the mess. This man was not cut out to be a desk jockey. ^^;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Ed no that is bad idea =3=;

Gnogglebolt:''<font color="#000000">I've really gotta hire someone else... ''

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Party~! |D

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Elros: I have no idea what I am doing dog.jpg

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Just make with the cheese and I won't nibble on your ears.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">but if he can spot everything, then he's a perfect front desk person. nothign gets past him

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Back.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">That just makes him a good bouncer. He can't file paperwork to save his life. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">dog behind desk...

VAE:<font color="#000000">could it be that Elros is the assistant for Professor Crow?

Ezer:<font color="#000000">Paper~! |D

Ezer:<font color="#000000">It crinkles and floats and tears and makes sounds! |D

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">No ezer that's not for shredding! D: here, take -this- document, it's supposed to be shredded...


 * Thomas Lazarus watches most everyone file out. &quot;... More importantly, this is Castleton, and Barbarus is working with the Strays.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Cocoa's still lounging in the pillow-filled drawer... x3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hup! uhoh.

TMG:<font color="#000000">May have to scram in a minute. Brb.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Cousin Ed?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, Cousin Hord?&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You and your friends...you fought Druids before, right?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We need to know better than to start unnecessary conflict with 'people like them' while they're half-ways behaving. Or it is everyone between us and them that will pay the price.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;A few, yeah. Fought alongside a few, too, I think.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't know.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Are they really as scary as Barbarus describes his brother? &gt;&gt;&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It would be nice if we had the power to just up and usurp all the organized crime in this city, brother.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But we're outnumbered and outgunner. It's not an option.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wouldn't know, I didn't even know Barbarus had a brother until now.&quot; :.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;No group like that can just.. hold a fucking city like this hostage.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're right. It could be done.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh. I thought he shared it. He seemed to think it was something we should know.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And a lot of life would be lost, and a lot of blood spilt.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It would be like any other war.&quot;

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hord, he instructed us of it so we would know when to run.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is it better to wait until it breaks over our heads itself?&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;But...&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">and nevermind, I'm good. :&gt;

TMG:<font color="#000000">At least for now

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I don't feel it will. And I'll change my tune if it seems otherwise. But until then, I'd just as soon not go trying to clear hornets nests out of trees by striking at them with poles.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps. We need to talk to the Commander about this.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Barbarus' brother and he have some quarrel. Barbarus is convinced that when they meet again it will end with him dead. That is all he shared.&quot;

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

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh...&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ack, BRB.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fuck, sometimes I wish I was up north. We. .. for all the mess, noone allowed a shitpile to grow this tall and wide.&quot;

Hord: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Good luck! ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Why do you think I moved here from Lorellon?&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Nip at Thomas' ear! FEED MEH.

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">Why hello there. 83

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't know... Lorellon seems to give even less of a damn.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, they welcome scum like Altonor.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Makin' bacon pizza.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">FUCK YES.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know... remember Sarganos?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus huffs. &quot;..Lorellon is safe and clean. The temple was boring with peace. All we got were scraped knees and the occasional young man worried he had caught something from a steamy tryst.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Talking to Flint and Anise.. apparently interrogating Pamela's plowboy there led to more arrests. Just like I said, they were rotten to the core.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Castleton, however..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..I felt like it needed a hand.&quot; |3

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

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Nibble! Feed me. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Ow okay.</small.>

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;So who exactly do we need to talk to?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Probably whoever manages buisness in the city.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, you are right. One can only stretch as far as his shirt allows. But then.. Hell, now it's getting better, at least&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus stands and nods faintly. &quot;..Yeah..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We start in City Hall, they're direct us to the office we need.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..I actually talked to him today.&quot; Tom walks over to the cabinet to look for something for the rat.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Travel montage! Gnogglebolt leads the group to City Hall and asks for the independant company registration office.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right, and everyone? Let Edaric do the talking.&quot; :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, have you?&quot;

Receptionist:<font color="#000000">The hall you are eventually directed to is covered in coats of arms. &quot;Welcome! Can I help you?&quot;

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Very well.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">There! Everything in there! That's a good start. Squeal.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As an aside, him and Anise are proposing going for drinks some time now.. and I voted for taking the new lot in, too.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">*Squeak

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(before getting there) &quot;Hey, this is officiatin', this is what I'm good at.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;We woudl like to register an official adventuring company witht he city.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hm.. no, not Flint. I meant Royce. Sargano.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Squeal? Kor really has turned into a pig! :o *brick'd*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know, give them a bit of a feel of the nicer side of working for the Mace.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus rummages through the cubbords for a moment.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where was he?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, we wish to register as a listed adventuring company.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;At the Palm central headquarters here.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No, no and no. Edaric is a bard. I don't know what it is about their silly singing and dancing and dabbling in the arcane, but they've got a real knack for words. He does the talking.&quot;

Receptionist:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh? Are these all of your members?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, we have more.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not all of them, no. We have a number of members elsewhere in the city. I can provide a list.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Interesting. Behind bars, or walking frree?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Naturally he was still a prisoner.&quot;

Receptionist:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll need a list of your members for the charter, and an application fee of 50 gold pieces. What name would you like for your group, and do you have a stated purpose?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Doing okay, though. Cooperative. Kind of stressed. Helping them root out other Nerulians.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Certainly, certainly, Vigilant Guardians, and yes.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;At least that. Though, some scum like him did get released if they were helpful.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yeah. I dunno, though. ... I can kind of imagine what it might have been like. Scarily easy.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt passes over 50 gp (deducted) and writes out a list of everyone in the group, including all of Barbarus's recruits, and writes down the stated purpose. He also provides the addresses of both HQs.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;To promote the safety and wellbeing of the people.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If your whole family were like that. Murderous cultists, I mean. If it's all you ever knew.. all you were surrounded by. You would be so trapped. Just.. doomed to kind of be like that. You know?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus finds a biscuit to feed Kor.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heh..if that'll happen.. how long do you give him before he ends chewed up by a ghoul one of his former comrades summoned? You know, the whole thing about being a traitorous shit.&quot;

Receptionist:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well, sign here, and here...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Signed on the dotted line!

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">SUSTENANCE! Om nom nom snarf blarg-

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">In full name.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnomes. |3

Receptionist:<font color="#000000">&quot;There is an annual fee of 10 gold pieces to retain official recognition, but for your average adventuring company, that shouldn't prove a problem.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dunno. Look at Flint for one...apparently he used to be a beggar and petty thief before he joined.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Maybe.&quot; He remarks quietly.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Pft, please. All your names are pronouncable.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Was about the same time as I came in here.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No problem at all, I'm sure.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like i told to Cadamon.. it's like fruit. Surface rot, you cut it out, and that's it. Rotting from inside.. once it goes through the skin, it's far too late for anything.&quot;

Receptionist:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you have a crest? For an additional 25 gold pieces, you can have your crest painted on a shield and posted here in the hall, along with your group's name.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yes.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do we? I can pay the fee.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Yes, we do, in fact.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd pays the fee

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl produces his first painting of the crest.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hmmmm.&quot; He smirks and looks aside.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">72 gold left earmarked for guardian promotion

Receptionist:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you very much! You are now officially recognized as a Castleton-based adventuring company. Or at least, you will be in about a week when the paperwork goes through.&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">what's that mean?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">I earmarked 100 gold for fair/promotional purposes out of my own money

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Maybe sometimes, analogies are like poorly written sets of instructions. You can give it to someone completely new to something, and they'll go about it incorrectly even if they could full well have succeeded by themselves.&quot; &gt;|3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">any remaining that I dont spend before the fair is going to be used to buy advertising

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;May we promote ourselves before the paperwork is finished? Seeing as the fair is coming soon and all.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">no, what'

TMG:<font color="#000000">ack nevermind

Receptionist:<font color="#000000">&quot;By all means.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do you mean, brother?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*puzzled*

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are there any rules and regulations we should know abuot that the city has placed on companies operationg within it's jurisdiction?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I don't know. I've just been sitting on that one for a while. You and your analogies.&quot; :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">also hatari

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">It's kind of hard to take Thomas seriously when he's got crumbs dribbling down his shoulder. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">what's your nick in WoT?

VAE:<font color="#000000">We need to play together, while we have tanks of similar level yet

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Buttsecks69

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You're making a mess and I don't have prestidigitation! &gt;:O


 * Dr. Hatari bricks.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">ow. XP

VAE:<font color="#000000">That'd be Ecks, Ghost

VAE:<font color="#000000">because you can't spell surprise buttsecks without Ecks


 * Dr. Hatari is up to a tier IV light tank and SPG.

VAE:<font color="#000000">but since you aren't on #site19, or a Foundation member, you'll have no idea what I just said

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I should catch up with those guys.&quot;

Receptionist:<font color="#000000">&quot;Obey the laws of the kingdom and don't cause trouble. Just conduct yourself like good citizens and you'll have nothing to worry about.&quot; :) &quot;There is the annual fee of 10 gold pieces, of course, though I've mentioned that already.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I feel like I'm broken. Stuck on 'ALL WORK' mode or something.&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Can we pay in advance?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;hah.. analogies. They are a good thing, the tales of the Wise Fool are full of them.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well then. Thank you very much!&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus humors the rat with an additional cracker.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They help people understand things.. by tying it to something they know. Otherwise, you can get all stuck up in learned debates that are really just empty straw.&quot;

Receptionist:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're welcome! Have a good day now.&quot;


 * Dr. Hatari goes to type

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Suddenly cat everywhere

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you for your time.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And you not only should, but have to. A Mace member must drink at least as hard as he hits.. that's why Anise is one of the best at both..&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Ominity nominity gobbily!! Squeak!


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles. &quot;Alright, alright.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, back home now?&quot;


 * Swallowtail sits and nibbles bread the whole time. c|:

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not yet!&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;First, party supplies!&quot; |D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yay!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shakes his head and smiles. &quot;Pfft. Alright. Actually, on second thought, there's something else I need to do...I'll catch up with you guys.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">See, most rats nibble and peck at what they eat. Kor must think he's a gerbil or something because he keeps trying to cram the whole fucking thing in his mouth..

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actually..we do need to aquire supplies if we are to have booths at the festival

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way, brother.. you mentioned the old history with the Strays.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;And we should attempt to reserve an area.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So partying will have to be delayed.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I've got a few things in mind as well.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have heard of it a few times.. but Castleton history didn't bother me that much what with all the stuff on our hands.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Booths at the festival?&quot; :.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Now let's see about getting booths.&quot; :3

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There was a big culling around here, I heard, ended in a mess.. .but you do seem to know a bit more than me.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I thought you said you were going to talk to everyone else about it first, Gamal?&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ragnar constructed booths and a stage for our pavilion.&quot;

Ceowulf:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;There is ample space for you all.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yeah! I remember now!&quot; :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..They're honestly not that out of place anymore. Just one more crime family now.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think most people must of stopped listening when I mentioned it after forming the group....&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's just that their strength is in smaller numbers. What with the lycanthropy. But really, with the gutterking gangs and all..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They're not out of place.&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;So what're we gonna have at the festival? I hear a stage...&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Araian, are you going to be selling your iced cream there?&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">At any rate, Gnogglebolt takes a turn down another road in the district.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Makes me wonder, how does Lorellon keep clean of this shit.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'm aiming to get the center for SEEDS promotion.&quot; &gt;:3

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;But how?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So since the stage is built..is the space already payed for and reserved?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A lot of knights. Being the king's capital sees to that.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean... Braxton is clean enough, but they still have trouble, seen the ogres.. and they try real hard.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;That's what I need the spoony bard to figure out.&quot; :3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;The center of...?&quot; :.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;The festivel, of course!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;People tend to behave when the majority of the peacetime army is garrisoned next door.&quot; He smirks a bit.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">There is a knock at HQ's door.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And he shops around to find a clerk hireling. Must be able to manage paperwork and finances, recieve and direct clients/apprentices, and potentially work long periods without supervision.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;A stage would best be situated int eh center...and booths and information around it.&quot;

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

Ghostwish:''<font color="#0000FF">To arms!! ''


 * Ghostwish is brick'd.

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom walks off to the front.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah.. thought I heard something.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Oh, and of course. How could I forget.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Better answer for Elros. I have a voice.


 * Elros dot dot dots.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom opens the door.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Now try and be as serious as possible with an armored rat cramming half a biscuit in its face on your shoulder. Go on, I dare you.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Must be able to tolerate eccentric personalities with significant power, as well as working in a building regularly rocked by 'construction' work.

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hi!&quot; :3

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yes, I will.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, Max!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good afternoon, Mr. Toris.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;How're you?&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;How's it going?&quot; :3 He laughs. &quot;-- I'm good, I'm good. Is Tathi in?&quot;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Eirik, Hliss, and Saermund have a medical booth set up, for helping the common folk that come by. Also for the fighting demonstrations.&quot;

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Anaqualia intends to sell paintings.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hmm. I shall assist her, then.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The usual mess... but still, good to be back.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No, actually. She left sir munchalot with me to hold down the fort. I believe she went off with most of the rest of us to get an official business charter.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sir munchalot? That's a good one.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Oh yeah, and the hireling would be paid by the month.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If he weren't a familiar I'm sure he would be trying to buck that armor constantly.&quot; :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, Edaric...If we havea stage..think you and I could figure out a performance to do if the stage isn't being used for other things? I could dance to musical accompanimant for example.&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Haha, I wondered why you had her shoulder ornament.&quot; :3 &quot;Could you tell her to stop by the Pearldust when she's free? She mentioned that she might want me to make some windows for her new home, and I'll be taking off back to Gilforen a few days after the festival. I'll need the measurements before then, at least.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom picks Kor up for a moment and stares into his face with a look of concentration. &quot;''..Tathiiii.. you have a visitor..'' come on, focus Kor. She should totally be able to hear this.&quot; |3

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brian is still enamored with that stone, by the way.&quot; :P &quot;He's been hunting for the right stones to use to bless your weapon with in his hoard.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So!&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus lowers the rat and nods. &quot;Ah, wonderful. I'm just glad he liked it. I was half-ways expecting to get a scoff and an eyeroll. ... And after the fact, for him to forget all about the sword.&quot; ^^;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Cousin, where do they sell the good liquor in this town? |3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And certainly. I'll let her know.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">The little rat stares back.. and then lifts a paw.. and points back at the kitchen.

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

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Squeak! &gt;:(

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Taverns, or liquor stores?&quot; |3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;And sure thing, Gamal.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus sets the rat back on his perch. &quot;Well. You're, of course, welcome to come in and share a snack with us. But I imagine you have this or that business to attend to.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I like this... Other rats run... this ratball just points at shit.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was planning on roving the festival and playing anyway.&quot; :3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi stops. &quot;Hold up.. Kor's trying to message me. I swear, if he's asking for cheese..&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Liquor stores, of course. |3&quot;


 * Max chuckles. &quot;No, I'm headed back to the Pearldust to try and get Brian back on track. Unless you think she'll be back soon?&quot;

Kor:<font color="#FF0000">I just include cheese in the header and footer.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 17 + 8 = 25&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;...I don't think the local taverns will appreciate us buying their barrels fresh off the cart again. (|3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Who knows. I don't know how other people's familiars work.&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Oh wait, you mean the business.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Possibly!&quot; :B


 * Edaric rattles off a list of stores, vineyards, and breweries. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not sure how long all that beaurocratic business takes, or if she's detouring.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;To the alcohol!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi pokes the bard. &quot;Now how about we go and grab the best slot for the festivel as well, hrm?&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right, I'll head on back, then. Oh, did you know you've got a delivery on your front step here?&quot; :3


 * Thomas Lazarus leans out the door and looks about. &quot;No..&quot; :.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi, the center spots are snagged months in advance, we're not going to be able to get one.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;All reserved after last year's festival.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We checked. ^^;&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Hm? How strange. There's a box here, addressed to Tathi from Vantir Refuge. ... The box clinks when it's moved.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">They can still be counter-snagged. I heard there's a lightning storm rolling in. *w*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom tenetively picks up the box.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh.. I didn't hear any other knocks. Huh.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Clink clink. It feels like there are bottles in there.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Aww! Can't we even try?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;This must be from someone Tathi knows. I'll make sure she gets this, too.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thanks, Max.&quot; :3

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;No problem. See you around!&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Squeak? Kor peers down at the box.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tom picks up Kor and holds him next to his face like a telephone. 'TATHI COME PICK UP YOUR SHIT.' *bit*

GM:<font color="#000000">There's an Elven name on the box, and an Elven word as well.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Hmm, lemme look at it

Miron:<font color="#000000">*cast Detect Magic*


 * Thomas Lazarus displays.

GM:<font color="#000000">Faint magic, of a universal school.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know, suspicious packages ,never know what's in them.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles. &quot;Even if it's magic, it's for Tathi.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 20 + 18 = 38&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Spellcraft

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It'd be normal.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">What the squeak that is not how you do this Lazarus!!! &gt;:(

VAE:<font color="#000000">Now that's a waste of a 20

GM:<font color="#000000">Kiiiiind of like prestidigitation? But not. You get a sense of rainbows.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, fine. So impatient. You're like if Tomi were a familiar.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's something like a prestidigitation spell on it.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi twitches again. &quot;Ugh! Guys, I think we need to head back right quick. Kor's pinging me all over the place.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wouldn't guess twice this to be some sort of barbarus fuckery.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Awww.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Practical joke of sorts.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Trouble?&quot;


 * Edaric looks up, holding a cake box. &quot;Huh? Okay...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom sets Tathi's package on the meeting table, then gets Kor another bloody cracker. :P

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">OM NOM SNARF.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ohey, we haz a ram :o

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">IZ A RAM!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No, he's generally very concise when it's actual trouble. Right now he's just being obnoxious. And he's being persistent about it, which means at least something is up.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:00 lagcheck?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">:01

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:01 at :00. :B

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">GREETINGS FROM THE FUTURE.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">SALUTATIONS FROM THE PAST.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Yes, iz a RAM.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Yo.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, now I wonder.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Heyo Ram :o

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Here is what you missed:

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Should we tell her, or just, you know, watch the fireworks?&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">he missed nothing

VAE:<font color="#000000">Shenkfang spent the night emptying his sore balls

VAE:<font color="#000000">and now he and talfeera are asleep

VAE:<font color="#000000">yet, still

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The party sort of gathered in the HQ and talked a bit about their adventuring company charter and related matters, plus small talk.

VAE:<font color="#000000">hell, why do you think he was waiting for her so eagerly

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Then most of them left to go get it ratified.

VAE:<font color="#000000">WELCOME FUCKS


 * Dr. Hatari baps. :P

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So basically, yes, nothing significant.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Just casual RP.

RAM:<font color="#990000">So, Shankfang and Talfeera are asleep?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">To ze HQ!

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

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">After a very sorely needed night together.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And Gnogglebolt finds a hireling, yes?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You can have him wake up any time. It's still technically the same day.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They're upstairs and it's afternoon.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes, he does.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Like I said

VAE:<font color="#000000">noone else got much sleep tonight

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oh, it's still the same day?

TMG:<font color="#000000">yeah, still the same day as the morning Talfeera teleported in

VAE:<font color="#000000">except Miron who went to sleep at the hostel

TMG:<font color="#000000">We're in afternoon of that day now

RAM:<font color="#990000">Mhmm...


 * Thomas Lazarus murmurs to Kor, &quot;You're smart enough to make your own food, aren't you..?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What do you like to eat, anyways?&quot; :.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Explains why everyone's outside. I bet the couldn't stand the sounds.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;'Sup, Elros?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">:3


 * Elros waves.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;He's in the kitchen, being indignant.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't think there's anything the rat doesn't like.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">At any rate, as the rest of the group is heading back to the HQ, Gnogglebolt approaches as well, with...someone entirely new and unknown in tow.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Squeak!! Kor points at... everything.. =3=;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I figured I would be nice and ask.&quot; :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh crud.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If this is all, I shall go do some odd jobs, then go explore the river bed some more.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You mean right -now?- ^^;;;

TMG:<font color="#000000">and people say -I- can't take a hint... :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait what

VAE:<font color="#000000">what happen, Lia


 * Liatai scrambles.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Just continue RPs. XP


 * VAE WTFs

TMG:<font color="#000000">Don't worry though, you don't have to actually &quot;play&quot; the person or even name them yet.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Question, how long do we intend to stay in Castleton? I wanna see if I can try to get lucky with crafting Rose, if we have time.

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ed!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Liatai is NPC scrambling, carry on.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Just let it develop over time.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi walks in, looking for Kor.. but spots the package on the table.

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

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">The snow elf hands Ed a satchel of small bowls of ice cream in various flavors.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Is this what Kor has been barking about?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus juts a thumb.


 * Edaric is carrying a cake box. &quot;We're back~!&quot;

Araian:<font color="#A14D7F">Then they all head off. |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hm? Oh. Did you actually get something?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">When he's set the cake down, of course.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ha-ha! It worked.&quot; |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I tried to talk to you through him.&quot; :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..But, yes, that package is for you.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ram; at least sixteen in-game days, though one or two days are already down. Still though, I'me backed up on crafting... -must- fix that. &gt;.&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d2 = 2&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Though, wanna tell ya sommat in irc real quick :D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smirks, and shakes her head.. &quot;He can send me mental messages. It's kind of garbled when something related to food is every other word.&quot; She says, and then walks over and inspects the package.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Alright, that could work. Are there any bonuses granted to crafting with the stuff in the workshop?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd be careful with that.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's a spell&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">aside from +2 bonus for masterwork tools?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Also, Max swung by and asked you if you could give him some.. window measurements for your home, I think. To help you with windows? He's leaving the city after the festival I guess.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looks like standard Barbarus fuckery, too.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ooo, well that is good news!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I decided to leave the mysterious magical package for Tathi to Tathi, personally.&quot; x3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Aid another. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">The package is from Vantir Refuge, and is signed &quot;Your uncle Calreth Eyllisaearsithek. Enjoy!&quot; in Elven.


 * Edaric puts the random ice cream bowls and the cake box on the table. &gt;:d

RAM:<font color="#990000">So, with the tools that puts his craft at 15. DC is 28...


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Any other bonuses to crafting granted in the workshop? :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What's all this? I thought you guys were filing paperwork.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt could Aid, yes...

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi's eyes widen.. and not int he good way, either. <font face="Segoe Print" color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh lords and ladies no.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">unless he's working on his own stuff

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 7 + 2 = 9&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Int check!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Eh..?&quot; Tathi gets Tom's full and undivided attention.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Darn. =3= No search for me.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..What does that say?&quot; D:

RAM:<font color="#990000">Exactly. I figure Gnogglebolt's gonna be busy with his own crafting, so I was hoping to get Shankfang to do it himself.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">At any rate, Gnogglebolt re-enters the new HQ with a new person in tow. &quot;Hey, Elros. You won't need to worry yourself with paper anymore, I got someone else.&quot;

Clerk:<font color="#000000">&quot; Pleasure to meet you. &quot;


 * Elros nods.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">AND SHE'S MORE PHOTOGENIC THAN YOU, TOO.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">:.


 * Edaric snoops.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And so, Gnogglebolt sets out filling in the new clerk on the specifics of the jb, though he already explained most of it to her on the way.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It's.. from my uncle.&quot; She says, staring at the box like it might be a bomb.


 * Thomas Lazarus raises a brow, still looking wary.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Who is that?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is that bad?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">'like I said, there's some barbarus-style fuckery in it.&quot;

Clerk:<font color="#000000">&quot; I see. I hope I will be able to perform my duties to your satisfaction. Do you have a filing system already in place? &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looks a lot like prestidigitation... except rainbows!?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;My uncle.. could give Barbarus a run for his money. Literally and figuratively.&quot;


 * Elros looks over at Ezer and sweatdrops.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Elros displays his Link to the Past inventory screen. *bricked*

Ezer:<font color="#000000">Mrrrrrow. =3=

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">SUDDENLY!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Funnily enough?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Half naked Half-Orc.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm playing some Link to the Past music right now. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">*Yawn*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You're always half-naked.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll need you to be staying here most of the time. You are to direct our mail and paperwork--and, er, not as such quite yet, no. We're still pretty new. You can organize things how you think it best works. At any rate, this building atually houses two separate functions; one is my construction workshop, and the other my my guild's meeting and resting place. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I'M GETTING YOU A SHIRT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY &gt;:O *bricked*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo everyone.&quot; |3

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang is clearly quite satisfied and content at the moment.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If someone comes in looking for the Vigilant Guardians--be them a client, and affiliate, or just someone who needs to speak with us, pull this string behind you and that will ring a bell in our meeting room.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi finally, tentatively opens the box.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Did Tathi and Aelian meet Talfeera yet during that minisession?

RAM:<font color="#990000">I can't remember.

GM:<font color="#000000">Inside the box, there are... oh gods.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ah, doesn't matter.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I do not think so.

GM:''<font color="#000000">Six bottles of that fey-wine. ''

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ghost wasn't connected.


 * Thomas Lazarus looks over.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What is that? Some kind of new potion?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, that didn't blow up.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 13 + 9 = 22&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge Local

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang motions in the general direction of everyone. &quot;Hyu hall need to meet my fiance ven she vakes up.&quot; |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">remembber, the inquiisitor heard of this in the dwarven army ;3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Whoa <font color="#0000FF">. Anyone who speaks elven just picked up some very interesting wood elven swear terms. About as colorful as the wine, really. ^^

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And just ask them to wait here until we can accomodate them. On the other hand, if someone comes in asking to be an apprentice for a crafting trade, direct them through that door (the door to the workshop) if I am here. If I'm not here...well, I'll be here for another half-month, so we'll cross that when we come to it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And if I'm out in the city on business, just ask them to wait here or come back later.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus leans towards the doorway now that the danger seems to be fading.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;She arrived earlier today.&quot; |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good afternoon, Shank.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo Tomas.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;That crazy, cross-eyed, sucker-mouthed son of a two ass'd donkey!!&quot; Tathi cries.

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

Clerk:<font color="#000000">&quot; Understood. If they're looking for the Guardians, ring the bell. If they're looking for the school, direct them to the workshop unless noted otherwise. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...What... what's the problem?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the hell...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang peeks in.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I tell him NOT to, and what does he do? Sends a damn shipment of the stuff!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Looks tasty.&quot;

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

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;It... looks like liquid rainbows...&quot; :.

VAE:<font color="#000000">did Miron know what it is?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...... So, what are these?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">from the K:L roll

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Miron knows.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi finally takes a bottle, and carefully slide sit out. It's bright, neon green, and occasionally shifts color.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is good stuff, tom.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">*slides it

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Very tasty.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shit that can get a dwarf drunk&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very good. Also, since we only just moved into this building and established ourselves, you actually probably won't have that much work at all for the first few days...though, actually, there is a big thing about how we've apparently made last-minute reservations of booth space in the upcoming festival. I'm sure there will be some paperwork and finances over that.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Those are for drinking?&quot; O_o

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I mean, proper shitfaced, not just in the mood.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;This.. is my uncle's creation.. He's.. the wild one of the family. Heck, he literally married a wild elf. It's always been his dream to render fey wine safe for mortals.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They look like they're for cave exploring.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep. Heard of it bck in the army.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;And he succeeded.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And yes...as I told you earlier, there are a lot of people in this building, and they can be very boistrous and noisy, but they're harmless.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What. Wine?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... *_* &quot;I love wine.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It is.. easily, the most potent thing in glass. Fey wine is normally lethal. But, somehow, he-&quot; She stops.. and turns a shade of scarlet.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I suddenly am reminded of the Willy Wonka and the Chocolatre factory grandmother.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Careful, Tom. From what I heard, this shit is like a punch to the face, and you're a lightweight drinker.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I love grapes.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;HE GAVE IT OUR FARKING NAME!?&quot; She yells.. oh.. she just got to the label.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*o* Tom looks like his thoughts are running all over the place.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then appears outside the dining room. &quot;Hello again, everyone.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi... anyone else in your place would be doing a fucking dance.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then flinches at the sudden yellong.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Did I miss something?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are we under attack again?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus clasps hands. Assumes begging pose. {:3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;For fuck's sake, how can anyone be this jaded.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell... I got it *grins*&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo brodder. Talfeera iz schtill schleepink. She's...a liddle vorn out.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">|3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hm? No. We're just gathered, Gnogglebolt.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;She's just playing pissy so that she doesn't have to offer to anyone.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt lightly kicks Shankfang in the back of his leg. &gt;:[

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wants to keep it all for herself, and her fatrat.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ha ha ha. Miron?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang kicks back. |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You're not stopping until you can't lift your glass anymore. I give you five shots, tops.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are--wait. Drinking?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Can I -- please -- can I get one?&quot; {|3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do you bet on it, Tathi?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can I...can I at least call a little discussion before we hit the booze?^^; &quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi turns around, and holds up the -glowing- bottle of wine, with fine elven lettering all over it.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Serious inquisitor is suddenly serious.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Hy tink Talfeera iz gunna vant in on dis.&quot;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think with the way this is heading, doubtful Perhaps best to reserve buisness till tomorrow.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Ninja escape!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yes, why not. There's, geezus, six of them. Thomas, you can have one.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, I just wanted to tell everyone two things.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;YES!&quot; x3

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( player forgetfulness.. how much are these worth again? XP ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thanks a ton. I owe you.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang makes his way into his and Talfeera's temporary bedroom and gently shakes her, trying to wake her up.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Schparky, vakey vakey.&quot; :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh heck... at least 110 GP. Let's say 150 a pop?

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron is still staring at Tathi.

Talfeera:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmmmmm...?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom takes one of the bottles of fey-wine and gently wraps it. :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Excuse me!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You owe me nothing, and you should be glad. They're about a hundred and fifty gold a pop.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You don't understand. &quot; *_*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl buys the vineyard.

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve chust got our hends on zum kind uf super vine, Hy figured hyu vould vant in on it, luv.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Where are you off to so quickly?&quot;

Talfeera:<font color="#000000">&quot;... super wine?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, thomas-wait--!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh dear gods.. he's going to get the entire leaden mace drunk?&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">D'ohohoho.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hhahah, no.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Fey-vine dat's safe for mortals or zumddink.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think just one lucky girl.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;and I'm off to see it happen.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*runs off behind him*

Talfeera:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mmmmm maybe laterrr. Warrrrm and cozyyyyy.&quot; |3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">|3

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hey Edaric. Want a sip?&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Okay, well, I can at least say the first thing. I hired a clerk-receptionist to handle the desk out front. She'll handle our paperwork and also direct people asking for us.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay, luv. Hy'll see if Hy kan get a bottle for de tvo uf us to shere later.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well, Tom isn't narratively out the door just yet. What was it Gnogglebolt had to discuss?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Kiss~

TMG:<font color="#000000">(don't worry, it can be brought up later. Gnogglebolt just wanted to talk about the Blackskull remnant in Castleton and propose maybe finding the leader if we're gonna be here longer than a week)

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy luv hyu, schparky.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gamal, you and barbarus might actually want to talk with her later about the reservations you made for the festival, she'll surely be handing the trail from that.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Talking to who, now?

Talfeera:<font color="#000000">&quot;Luv hyu too, snugglebear~&quot; Kiss~

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I just got back from dealing with possums.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">so, did he move map already?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Were they awesome? *bricked*


 * Shankfang the Deffrider heads back down, leaving Talfeera to her nap.

VAE:<font color="#000000">possums?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hup! And once more, gotta brb for a bit...may have to scram for good.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Taddi?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh hello Shankfang.. I suspect you heard, hrm?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">where's tom's token off to?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;How much deed hyu say vun uf doze bottles kosts?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I see

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy vould like to buy vun for Talfeera und me to shere later.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I was looking at the wrong side

TMG:<font color="#000000">Dammit.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yep, I gotta leave for real this time.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gotta go?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Aww.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Bai bai, Techy!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ah well. Atleast we got to see you for a few hours.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good to see ya having at least this excuse to meet with the rest of us, Tom&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">bye tech

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;:You know..why are we all standing around in this doorway? wouldn't it be more comfortable if everyone was to go sit? either on the lounge couches or around the table?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus smirks.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She sighs, and looks back. &quot;Easily a hundred and fifty gold. But I'm not selling gifts.&quot; She says, and hands him one that just turned a brilliant shade of blue. &quot;Have fun, but remember, moderation! This stuff is killer.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hey, I was getting around to it. It's just.. business keeps pulling me away all the time..&quot; ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:D

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Tenk hyu Taddi!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Yeah! Sure -- hey, Gamal, do you know where the plates are? I'll cut up some cake to go with the iced cream, we'll have a full-on housewarming party!&quot; :3

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">OH NO MAGIC ABSINTHE D:


 * Gamal-Junayd helps get the dishes out

VAE:<font color="#000000">this is why I love the game

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang takes the bottle, and Taddi finds herself on the receiving end of one of Shankfang's infamous Half-Orc hugs!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">You know...

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Ack my ribs. =3=;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Honestly?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Who needs adventures when we have day to day shenanigans

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I'm just glad the magic absinthe has gotten the hounds off my back about the couch. |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">So you think. Booze loosens the lips. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's almost Second Life: Akellon *brick'd so hard*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I decided to tell them nossink. You can always trust a priest. |3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Aaand released.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">We still don't have nearly enough garrish fetish-fuel sex to be Second Life yet. *bricked*


 * Edaric goes around and hands out cake and ice cream. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:D

TMG:<font color="#000000">and out

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Awww did I seriously miss cake and ice cream.. :c

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

Edaric: <font color="#0">(( There'll still be cake when you get back... hopefully. :3 ))

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang takes two helpings, but puts one in the fridge to save for his fiance.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Or, you know...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Ooooookaaaaay. :x *bricked*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Wherever they keep cold things cold.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Oh yeah I forgot about Gnogglebolt's mini-fridge. :.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I think we actually do have a refridgerator, actually.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">... how do you work this thing? &gt;:d

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's powered by, like, radioactive isotopes or something. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You open the front, put things inside, and close it.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">The mini-fridge is currently off. Use Tech Device, Shankfang?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 7 + 13 = 20&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Use Tech Device!

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I think that's good enough, yah?

GM:<font color="#000000">You get the mini-fridge working! It should be plenty cold enough to store the leftover cake and ice cream. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dere ve go. Chust like Mazio.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Welcome to -- Oh, hello, Inquisitor.&quot; ^^

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitors.&quot; :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey Cadamon. Brought in the wayward brother here *grin*&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">When suddenly.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;About time, too! We gotta decide on a time to have your welcome-back party!&quot;

Barbarus: <font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hey.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi and Aelian take a seat, while Tathi curiously inspects the bottles.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was telling him just that earlier today.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang turns to see the silly kitty-man!

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Suddenly pounce. &gt;:O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Barbarus climbs over Shankfang, leaving rose scented rainbow paw prints in his wake.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 19 + 9 = 28&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Reflex Save!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Dodged!

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Darn!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, even more new faces?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Nice try, though! :3

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Yo.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So, what's going on?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">To Cadamon &quot;Good afternoon.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*looks around* &quot;Pretty sure I haven't seen you around, yet&quot; *looks at the long-haired junior archivist*

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Shamelessly stealing some cake and ice cream. |3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo silly kitty-man!&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You mean to say Richter didn't introduce you to the new archivists?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Vuz gets pettinz as Shankfang walks by.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Shipment from my uncle. You familiar with the Eyllisaearsithek wine?&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But then, he's not the only one forgetting shit.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I was told not to touch the stuff.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus laughs a bit. &quot;Yeah, a return party sounds really good, actually. I feel like I don't even know how to relax anymore, after that trip.&quot; ^^

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Grandma says it's not meant for cats to enjoy fey drink.&quot;

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Arlene Morgan. Recent graduate of the Spire Academy, divine magic division.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, now I have four bottles of it. Hrm.. I can already think what I'm going to do with two of them.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, Arlene.. how do you like working for Richter?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus folds his arms and nods at the new archivist. &quot;Pleased to meet you, miss. Tom Lazarus.&quot;

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well enough. He knows what he's doing, and it's great experience. You have so much lore tucked away here, it's incredible.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also.. divine magic? Heh.. that's what I do around here, too.&quot;

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're the other proper archivist, then?&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd looks over at ed.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, ed...mind me asking a few questions?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;How'd you get four bottles?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus waves a hand slightly, &quot;Although I'm never here anyways, I guess I don't need to be introduced to the newbies.&quot; TwT

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm?&quot; Cake nom. &quot;Course not, what's up?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Isn't the ordering list for them like three years in advance?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor-archivist. I'm one of those folks who sit on two feasts with one arse.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ha! Barbarus, didn't you hear me? It's my uncle. And the wine has my damn name on it, which I just found out.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But.. not a bad pick, either, if you like a bit of fresh air.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I think that one might have gotten lost in translation out of gnomish.&quot; :P

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was thinking...if were goign to be an official buisness...mayber we can try and get some local buisness's to partner with us. perhaps we offer them discounts on our services or other benifits, and we might get something similer in return...and I was wondering...how long have the guardians been working witht he Toris's in the pawnshop?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heh.. possibly. Though, gnomes have an arse, just like you tall folks.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*grins*

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lemme think... I think since the very beginning, from everybody's stories. Terri and her father the dog came with them on their very first adventure.&quot; :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not even speaking of feasts.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- And I don't mean dog in a bad way. I mean he was literally a dog at the time.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Terri's father was...going around as a dog?&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mon in, sit down! Gilric left behind a pot of stew before he left for patrol!&quot;

Hakutaku:<font color="#FF0000">Gamal elipses as hard as he can.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way, Anise.. when I was going here yesterday, trying to..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, stew?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's a good call.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;A big white fluffy one.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Omnomnomcake.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Especially GIlric's one.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">afk, time to rustle up some dinner and feed the puppy. :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Interesting....And, do they do any buisness besides making magic items and running taht shop of theirs?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sure thing. Sounds good.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come, Tom, don't stand there like a saint behind a village.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo Ed, Gamal.&quot; |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;By the way..&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Sit, nom.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey shankfang...&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who knows? They are dragons...&quot; =w=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right, where was I&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Huh.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know one brother does metalwork and Max does glasswork.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;When I was trying to see what Silvertrush's up to...&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I didn't think you and your uncle would be so close.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think another elf.. or what pretended to be one was watching me.'

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;All of the elves we met up north were...what's the polite word for it.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">what time is it?

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Disdainful?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Red hair, dressed in black.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kinda thin and pale, even for an elf.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">At the moment, mid-afternoon. You'd need a pocketwatch for more.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Before he sits, Tom shakes the table with a dispensed bottle of glowing fey-wine. &quot;Just so you know, you should be prepared with the knowledge that you are going to get your ass kicked in the game of drink, this time!&quot; &gt;|3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyone seen a bugger like that?&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">....

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">*w*

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

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;WHERE DID YOU GET THAT.&quot; &gt;8D

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Beware, Anise, that's good stuff.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, so you know it too?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; D'ohohoho, Guardian secret.&quot; =w=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come on,Tom&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;One of the guardians, her uncle makes that shit.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">So spends so much effort on volume she phrases it as a demand.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">:U

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Treachery!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:P

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sent her a fucking crate!&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm..maybe I'll head down and talk to them about it. Probably should have someone with me that they are more used thinking about as a guardian. Up for coming with me or gonna be too busy trying to get drunk on tathi's wine?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hahhaha, treachery?!&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Duh! It's the legendary El Sear Thick fey-wine!&quot;

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eyllisaearsithek.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Treachery would be keeping secrets from yer folks here.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whatever!&quot; &gt;8D


 * Thomas Lazarus laughs.

RAM:<font color="#990000">It's your perfect woman, Tom!

RAM:<font color="#990000">She fucks up the name, too!

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Tom's new theme music.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, Searing, and thick. that fits the whole family.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;She's been trying to get me to say her name for weeks. ...Eyllisaersithek..?&quot; &gt;:9

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi's ears perk. Someone just ephasized the wrong syllable!!&gt;:O

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mmmm maybe later? I want to make sure Ael and Tathi aren't going to go too bonkers.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( back, by the way, with sammich. :3 ))

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I actually never copy-paste Tathi's name.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I actually just try to spell it by memory alone.

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( Liar. :P ))

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BsftDuGkM4

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">That.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And let the result be Tom's fuck-ups.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Not that hard, actually.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fucking elvery. She's the last person who can say anything.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I'm adding that to his theme list on the page.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speaking in northern peasant accent of common, and calling it dwarven.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;'course, she was shitfaced then...&quot;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Plan on doing so by preventing them...or joining them?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tathi did assert to speak dwarven once


 * Gamal-Junayd chuckles

VAE:<font color="#000000">and then ghost did his ridiculous scottish stuff

VAE:<font color="#000000">And Miron made fun out of her


 * VAE recalls

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we're going to the Toris' afterward, the former.&quot; :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Scared the beards off dwarves everywhere. &gt;:3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You know what we haven't seen in a while?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Her possessed by some dead bird.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">*fireball'd*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Pizza get! &gt;:3

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Still, man, you know how much this shit's worth on the open market? There's a waiting list a mile long! It costs more than moondrop!&quot;

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;... it's changing colors.&quot; o_o

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">By thirty gold.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well we can always go tomorrow, jsut in case things get bad here.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, it does that.&quot; |D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Honestly? Not really. But I'm not surprised.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Visiting dragon family?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, Anise, want to know a fun story?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Never seen it before. The brewer's neice was looking at it like we just got mailed some unstable cask of alchemist fire or something.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Sounds like it explodes just as well.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi snaps her fingers. &quot;Yep, decided what I'm doing with three of the bottles now.&quot; She says, and picks one up, carefully wrapping it.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hahaha. Did she warn you about the side effects?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I heard about it during the war, from a dwarf. They found a crate of the stuff when raiding an elven outpost.. that was before the fucking drow showed themselves.&quot;

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Christening a ship?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">*buzzer sounds* Hold yer horses, VAE.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">This stuff didn't exist until -after- the war.


 * VAE holds his horses

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's the stuff with stories

VAE:<font color="#000000">they occasionally, prove wrong

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Brb.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron heard it as an ear, from older soldiers

Hakutaku:<font color="#FF0000">Accuracy doesn't matter when you're a fucking liar *bricked*

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah...thinking maybe we can work out a mutually beneficial deal betweent he guardians as a company, and the Toris's. If nothing ese...It would be an excellent move for securing friends with probably the most powerful group int he city, even if htey are secretive. I can't imagine anything with more power than a family of dragons.&quot;:

VAE:<font color="#000000">(VAE last mentioned the story during first meeting with Altonor)

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;They say one sip gets you shitfaced, two sips makes you walk on air, and three sips? You start tasting colors, or seeing them floating around.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">So.. it's one of the hillarious things he considers completely true because he never thought about it a second time

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;How am I not surprised by your expertise?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;True! ... Hey... come to think of it... it's a shame Sszeyl's not here.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Ever had any?&quot; |3

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not yet! Gimme!&quot; *w*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not yet, not yet.&quot; |D

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyways.. the whole division there got so shitfaced, the dwarves lost a battle because the reinforcement didn't arrive.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat iz a goot qvestion...&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's a magic item emporium he worked at a while ago, I think. Ebonwood something or other.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vere iz Sszeyl?&quot;


 * Anise Berilan makes grabby hands. &gt;:3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;We could always go to the river to lookf or him. He said he'd be there. Well, under it.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ah...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We can wait for this 'party' later. 'Sides. If it's like you say I figure we should probably atleast hide from the lieutenant commander or something before we go getting half the staff completely sloshed in the middle of the afternoon.&quot; |3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Now to check the DM's npc load, and see if she can handle Tathi heading off to Pearldust. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There were about fifty degradations coming out of that ... I heard it from a sergeant whose brother was there.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, likely a good idea.&quot; |3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy tink Hy em gunna vait here a liddle longer. Hy vant to be here ven Talfeera vakes up.&quot; |3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Maybe try to get zum kraftink done...&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... jeez. I don't even remember where I put my shot glasses.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You don't wanna drink any more than a shot of this at a time.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hahah! Tathi bet me I can't take five of 'em&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus snaps. &quot;Ohhhh we should keep some of this around for the festival. Give it to the laughing rogues. We can form a pile outside where they get dumped off.&quot; |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's a hillarious idea, Tom&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hahahaha! YES!&quot; x3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell... thinking of it.. that's what it must have looked with the dwarves.&quot;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Afk 5 minutes.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;A division had what, eighty of them?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">All a'Pearldust who are goin' a'Pearldust? :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like I recall... &quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi carefully locks up the whatthefuckcrazyname wine in her room, and then heads for pearldust. With one bottle in tow.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">if ed's getting up, gamal will go

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I'll catch up later once Talfeera's awake.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyone knows who the hell is that guy?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looked like a possible blackskull, for all I care.&quot;

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Could be any number of elves in the city.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, though, not many look that unhealthy.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Knockity, knock, knock, door turns bright yellow. :3

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe you can ask a temple?&quot;

Papa:<font color="#000000">WOOF!

Miron:<font color="#000000">*pfft*

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mon in!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hellooo? No big bad red dragons in here, I hope?&quot; Tathi asks, smiling.

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Welcome -- oh hey!&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did you get my message, Tathi?&quot; :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Doubtful, unless you start changing their colors as well as just doors.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I did! I did! And I brought something for you all.&quot; :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heh.. though, I suppose if it was a temple of Nerull...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's a thought.. setting up a false one, and arresting any dummy that signs up.&quot;

Papa:<font color="#000000">Bowr? The huge white dog by the fireplace tilts his head. :3

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh? Oh! I just meant, if he looked sickly, a healing temple might know better who he is.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">of course, that isn't a serious suggestion

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi unwraps the glowing bottle. Oh for the love of.. it's gold right now. Like molten, translucent gold. XD

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know ... I just found it funny. Temples rarely keep track that well...&quot;

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

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">I sense a disturbance in the force... as if someone was trying to put a bad influence before my children... *_*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Still dragging shipwrecks out of the river bed.


 * Thomas Lazarus seems amused by the idea of a prank temple of Nerull. |3

VAE:<font color="#000000">PHYSICSLYNX : GOLD ISN'T TRANSLUCENT, EVEN MOLTEN

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Yeah, well, guess what? Magic.

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( *flees for the bunker, cackling* ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Your kids? Pft! More like your husband. &gt;:)

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;I always thought that they would at least recognize the regulars. Right, Tom?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;My uncle.. batty, crazy elf that he is.. decided to see fit to send me not one, but six of these bottles of fey madness.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Chilling with the silly kitty-men as he waits. :3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;He is, if you believe it, the source of this wine.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;At temples? Surely. I don't know what it's like for mom out in Lorellon, but a lot of the priests here know their regulars by name.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Of course.. adventurers city. A lot of 'work' is for outsiders and strangers.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. .. so that's actually a thought.&quot;


 * Papa seems to be thinking...

Papa:<font color="#000000">! :3


 * Papa goes over to a shelf and fetches a scroll.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like I said.. a suspicious guy. sickly thin, elf, red hair, black dress.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Hi hi hi! Remember us? remember us? :3


 * Papa puts the scroll on the floor by Tathi's feet, then nudges it toward her and looks up at the wine. Whine? :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">He looked like pulled from a poorly drawn yaoi *brick'd*

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The art's actually from Fire Emblem... XP

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Practically a third of those entering the shining hall aren't in for worship, so much as this-or-that emergency medical attention brought on by.. gods only know. We've seen some bad and weird things come through.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Either of you intend to go the festival?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi tilts her head, and kneels down, picking up the scroll and peering at it. &quot;What's this, you silly pooch?&quot;

Papa:<font color="#000000">Spellcraft check?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja!&quot; :D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 10 + 14 = 24&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; spellcraft! -5 if its necromancy or illusion, +2 if it's evocation!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Why is richter's puppy so friggin' hillarious

Papa:<font color="#000000">Why, it seems to be an arcane scroll of Glitterdust.

Papa:<font color="#000000">:3 ? Wag wag.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Speaking of tricks and morbid business..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Where's Flint off to?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;The festival will be everywhere, from stories.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Likely patrol duty&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Will the festival come to us, is the question.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh is this for me? You big silly. I wasn't expecting anything in return, heck, I was going to put the wine as a forward payment for the windows Max is hopefully going to make me. But thank you very much. I've got this one in my spellbook as is, seeing how we seem to be dealing with some less than reputable groups.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If not on it's own, then by my hand. |3&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep, that's it. He's off on patrol with Skar.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy luv festivals!&quot; :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">{|3c &quot;...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, so, who's schooling in the new ones?&quot;


 * Papa headtilts. Oh? :3 ! He holds up a paw.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I should catch up with him some time, too. Sheesh.. not enough hours in a day, or days in a week, it feels like.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hear hear.. The only thing that's worse than that is when there are too many&quot;


 * Papa goes back to the shelf and picks up three new scrolls; Detect Thoughts, Spider Climb, and Knock. He sets the scrolls on the floor in a line, then points at each one individually and looks up at Tathi quizzically. :3 ?

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think he's asking which one you want in return for the wine.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Haven't had that problem since I stopped standing around on templar duties.&quot; ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fuck, like when you lot were off to hand Miss Lundy's ass back to her in a bucket with the strawberries.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends. We cycle through it. Gilric's teaching the newbies today.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Haha! Some places mistake a knight for a candlestand, isn't it.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs his chin. :.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ooooo, I get to pick? Ack, but he's so silly! The wine is a gift! Hrm.. But you know what? I think Spider Climb could be very fun.&quot; She says, and picks up that scroll. &quot;Thank you, Papa.&quot; She says, smiling. &quot;Where would you like me to set the wine?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That might be something I'd like to try..&quot;


 * Papa opens his mouth. |D

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Haha!&quot;

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dear.&quot; =w=;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Want me to just pour it in?&quot; Tathi says, grinning. :3

Papa:<font color="#000000">Busted. =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well. With my limited skillset, atleast. I still feel like a junior Inquisitor most of the time.&quot; ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wonder how many would your shoulder plates fit&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actually..before anyone gets...inebriated..I was wondering if I could bring up a bit fo buisness.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well. With my limited skillset, atleast. I still feel like a junior Inquisitor most of the time.&quot; ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hello, Miss Toris. Fancy yourself a bit of wine?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actually..before anyone gets...inebriated..I was wondering if I could bring up a bit fo buisness.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, teaching the newbies! I thought a candlestand.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Pff. No.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*breaks out laughing something silly*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've had more than my fair share of that.&quot;


 * Papa takes the bottle gingerly in his teeth and trots off to set it somewhere. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have done that a few times back in Jones's Rock.&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What is it, Gamal?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I can atleast help show them how to defend themselves if Skar is busy, or maybe this or that magic minutia. Or even just protocols. How to write a report.&quot; :9

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes. earlier today..the guardians filled out the paperwork with the city, we've become an officialy recognized Adventuring compnay. Or at least..will be once the paperwork filing is done in about a week.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, hey, just put your name in with the commander for when you're free and he'll set you up for it, no problem.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Here..not that much, asides from my share of patrol duty. Like I said, one arse on two chairs&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides, apparently, I was making the young ones paranoid.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ack, BRB again. Cat attack.


 * Thomas Lazarus laughs.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Hi Cocoa!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You remember that time we were at the Talespinner? Right after the business with the assassin strike at the old HQ?&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There was this fuckup with assassins trying to get us.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Where we heard something and rushed the backroom and scared some guy out a window - and then scoured the back alley?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;And from what I've been told..the guardians have a..history with your little shop. I was wondering...perhaps we could enter into a sort of partnership. Come to a mutually beneficial deal...perhaps we offer you first selection of any gems we find on our adventures..while maybe you help advertise or sponser us, or offer discounts to members? I dont know the full extent of what you all offer, and I was just throwing out ideas..but...does this sound like something that might be possible between the vigilant guardians and the pearldust pawn shop?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And someone fled the place like with a fire down his arse.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In somebody elses tavern.&quot; &gt;|3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, I wonder.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Small wonder you would make your recruits paranoid.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Some guy told me yesterday.... apparently Cal'tel likes to hang out in that place.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Might have well been him that day.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Even if it was, he was probably just using the pot.&quot; ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi tilts her head. &quot;Wow.. honestly? I had never thought of that. Well, I had pondered a..&quot; She pauses and closes the door behind her, quickly glancing to the windows to check for eavesdroppers.. &quot;.. alliance between SEEDS and the local dragons, but never quite a business deal. Great Trees, Gamal, where'd you get such a mind for business.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd smiles

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom.. what I taught them might well save their life one day... bring a promotion even.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well..If the guardians are goign to be known far and wide..were going to need contacts. So why not start with those that we already have dealings with?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, that's how I became full inquisitor. Everyone thought werewolf.. I thought drow.. turned out to be Erythnul bloodfuckers.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;True, true!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">:o

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I hope you'll pardon me if I don't go trying to sense evil on every cat we pass by now just because one of them was an imp in disguise.&quot; |3

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll advertise!&quot; :D

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Actually that was a quasit -- *brick'd!*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Quasits are just bargain bin imps! &gt;:O *bricked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah well... either way, that's the reason I rarely get to train the new faces these days.&quot;

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I had a fatcat standing on my lap and leaning over the keyboard. See, Liatai knows. XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">I see

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I attempted 'ack'

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ohh right. By the way. Where is this new place you all're apparently moving out into?&quot; :.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'll fall on your arse.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Remember the house we busted Spindlethorns' arses at?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Wha?&quot; ^^;

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

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

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It got a full cleanup by.'

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh Cadamon.. who sorted out the consecration? Heard it was someone of the local folks at Cuthbert's temple.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; He knits his brow and thinks.


 * Gamal-Junayd looksa t the older toris's for a real response

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Sszeyl rooted around for the deed and gave it off to the Mace, didn't he?&quot;

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

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

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;A business proposition, hm...? I know my grandson would appreciate your proposed side of the bargain.&quot; |3 &quot;It would be well to formalize the informal agreement we seem to already have. I propose another offer... On our side, we will advertise, as Terri was saying, but will also alert you to business opportunities, of your fashion. We have a similar agreement with the city guard. We are, after all, a pawnshop, and we do get people attempting to sell illicit goods under the table, or cursed items, or general adventurers' wares and stories.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thinking of it.. hell. I.. hate him a lot less than I used to.. but still, living in quarters that a drow handed us...&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs. &quot;It's not like we didn't all go there and get them.&quot; ^^;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;George Aberon, I believe. A fine exorcist in the church's service. I went through acolyte training in the same group as him.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I think that was the first time I went with Flint for a mission, actually.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;On one side, he's way more sensible than Tathi or Gnogglebolt.. and the second's my kin, would you have it.&quot;

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is this an acceptable accord?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, he is from some sort of fascist monk order. Being level-headed and cool-tempered is probably par for the course. Or you lose your head, it sounds like.&quot; ^^;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds good, information can always be useful. and what would you want as our side, just to make sure it's laid out.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aberon.. Aberon... hmm, is he one of the folks who does graveyard cleanup, or is that me mistaking him with someone.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know, salting and making sure scum like Sarganos don't come for seconds.&quot;

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your proposed gem exchange is a fine offer.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I wonder about the validity of fascist as an adjective :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anachronisms and all that


 * VAE brick'd

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;He usually deals more with hauntings. He's an excellent channeler of positive energy.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;eh... they seem like a lot better alternative than Lolthian scum.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's still the same drowish shit, but at least it doesn't flow everywhere.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Maybe. I actually asked him about that on the river ride.&quot;

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Are there really drow here? In Castleton?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Remember... order is the base of a civillised society. And lolthians don't, even can't understand that.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I guess it's not any kind of big secret - he didn't mind calmly discussing the particulars of how they decide to operate their city.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Suddenly a drow knocks on the Pearldust shop door.


 * Thomas Lazarus nods to Arlene.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Three arses of them, Arlene.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A handful, yes. Atleast.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;More than I'd ever like to see.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;So, I feel the need to pry.. Is there some manner of draconic government, or are dragons pretty much self-governing?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Unless you guys have been complete assholes and left it open.


 * Thomas Lazarus rolls his eyes.

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

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come in!&quot;


 * Nathaniel Toris just smiles in response to Tathi's question.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;None of the ones I know are Lolthian drow. Although some did try to kill brother Miron and I some months back.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl's mostly allright though.. he seems to have switched gear.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hi, Mr. Sszeyl!&quot; :D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh hello Sszeyl. What brings you here?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl waves...with a very large fish covering his hand and part of his forarm.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I come bearing gifts. =3=&quot;


 * Papa picks up the other three scrolls and shelves them.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">forearm*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We travel with an Orgolloyss monk, Sszeyl. Pretty ordinary guy, once you get to know him. Kinda stoic.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good then, guardians will offer you first chance at any gems they find, in exchange for advertising and information.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, not just that... did I ever tell you guys about that fight with Altonor?&quot;

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;What are you doing with that thing on your arm?&quot; :|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Picked up some strange tattoo from an order in Resca that lets him breathe underwater, though.. and now he keeps walking around under the river all day.&quot; ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I was wandering the riverbed, moving some wrecks out of the way.&quot;

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then we are agreed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..So yeah maybe not so ordinary afterall.&quot; *bricked*

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ah ha. It's some secret accord, isn't it?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;This thing bit me. And won't come off. You can have it if you want. =3= I came here so Elder Toris could examine his friend's craftsmanship, and to shop.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Says the son of a war hero, and brother of a famous beastslayer.&quot;

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;I will neither confirm nor deny this.&quot; |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She smirks. &quot;Sneaky, sneaky dragons.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wonder if anyone in the group counts as ordinary. Fuck, even the rat has a steel turtleshell.&quot;


 * Lauren Toris tsks. &quot;Come here.&quot;


 * Lauren Toris attempts to remove the fish.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">* Lauren Toris tsks. &quot;Come here.&quot; * Lauren Toris attempts to remove the fish.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Gee, we're almost like the main cast of an anime or an RPG

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">*brick'd*


 * Gamal-Junayd nods

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who's Altonor?&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;And was it a good fight?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now this is a story you have to listen to.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Here we go.&quot; =w=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's an anarchic nutcase of a drow, about a head shorter than you, running around in black plate.&quot;

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Here you are. Now wrap that fish up before it drips water, scales, and river slime everywhere. You do know how to prepare a fish for cooking, correct?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I learned of him, seeing hin in Lorellon, and finding records of him being near pretty much every major fuckup you can recall.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus just listens, leaning his face on an upturned palm.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Quite.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Though perhaps scales isn't appropriate, since this is a catfish.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Thank you. :3&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, naturally, I tried finding who or what. Back in Braxton, they knew him as a regular, fucking with their arrests, and making life a pain.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">Actually, Altonor being 5'2&quot; and Anise being 5&quot;7&quot;, not quite a head shorter. *brick'd*

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">*5'7&quot; I'm not a midget. &gt;:E

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( |D ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">5 inches = 25 cm, that's about a head's worth, no?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Five inch tall drunk monk..


 * Dr. Hatari is now picturing tiny Suikas. *bricked*

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait, what

VAE:<font color="#000000">12.5 cm

VAE:<font color="#000000">dumblynx is dumb

VAE:<font color="#000000">indeed, not quite a head

CATFISH:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#0000FF">HELLO SSZEYL.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And mithral isn't black unless Miron's exaggerating. :B *brick'd*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl produces the Seal(s), and lets it flare for a second.

CATFISH:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#0000FF">I AM GOING TO HAUNT YOUR DREAMS.

VAE:<font color="#000000">OF COURSE HE IS, LIA

CATFISH:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#0000FF">NOW AND FOREVER MORE.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">No, because I'm eating you.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Also, I don't dream.

VAE:<font color="#000000">he's talking to his drinking buddies and colleagues

Sszeyl:'''<font color="#A14D7F">Bitch! '''

VAE:<font color="#000000">there are things which get a bit more colour

CATFISH:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#0000FF">AW HELL NAH GURLFREEND.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Of course, sorry. Carry on. XP

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Then a totally stoic Sszeyl removes the seal, and offers it to Nathaniel.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyways... the bugger has a black pegasus, if it is even one, so he can fly around like the ass he is.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The effect is strong enough that one dose forces him back far.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And given his regression, he would need time to emerge again.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They tried gluing him down once with those newfangled things you toss. .. ended up with half the Braxton Mace glued to the floor.&quot;

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;!!!&quot;


 * Nathaniel Toris quickly stands and puts the seal back around Sszeyl's neck. &gt;:|

Hakutaku:<font color="#FF0000">ONCE YOU POP YOU CAN'T STOP *ALL THE BRICKS*

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Take no chances with Vargachixeniejir, child.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;EIther way... so up there, talked to Gradia, and we got that it'll be best to set up scrying on him, and on Arrivan Marathal, the guy that letter from Cal'tel was meant for.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Very well.&quot;

Sszeyl:'''<font color="#A14D7F">I hate him. '''

Sszeyl:''<font color="#A14D7F">I know. ''

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So ... we set it up.. met Inquisitor Geas in Thalinde... he's the one with the massive wolf, remember?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 5 + 7 = 12&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Will save!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Lolnope. |D

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The one that picked me five feet up as a welcome.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Erk! That -- didn't feel so good.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm-hmm.&quot; {|3

GM:<font color="#000000">Take 2 points of Strength and Dexterity damage.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way.. on the visit, found out Arrivan's a secret drow, which surprised noone.. well, not me at least.. managed to get a few hairs of him ,and what was better, off his cat for scrying.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Done.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And this bugger, he wanted to meet us on a field behind. Of course, sparks were flying since the first time we met... that fuck laying his bullshit thick about the Mace, life in Braxton, and hell of a lot other places.

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Saint's cudgel, how many drow live around here again?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=w=;;;;;;;;;; &quot; Everyone is a secret drow, now.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Tom removes his hat of disguise!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Drow!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh wait, no, he's just black.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;See, in his dull head, he isn't a criminal but a freedom fighter

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I am like maximum white guy.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I'm green! :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's see...&quot; He considers.

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I see. Do not remove the seals again.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Excluding those Helvirahel assassin jerks that moved off..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh how silly of me.. Max!&quot; She says, and starts going over the windows of her new house. Most are small, round arrangements, but there's some larger ones in the bigger rooms.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyways.. after I tried to grab a few feathers off his winged horse, and with him spotting me, thought I was screwed. But then.... He made his camp i nthe forest, and though he made sure we had fuck all idea how to get there, he forgot about tracks.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've met.. ... ..seven Drow, so far.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, under the cover of the night, I rush to meed Aldwin, he picks up his wolf, and tracking we go.&quot;


 * Max nods. :3 &quot;Any particular theme you'd like? Colored glass? Stained glass, mosaics or scenes? Just plain decorative windows?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No, wait, eight. I forgot.. that, uh, guy.&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Elven reliefs, if you could?&quot; :3

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So, Shankfang. When's the wedding? :3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They've actually all been pretty friendly and approachable, to my surprise. ...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Very well.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We found the place ... middle of a forest. I looked at the magic field.. Hell, the guy's black armour? Under magic-watching spells, it was glowing like a shitty horse sold by a clever enchanter.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Except those Lolthian assassin ones we scried on.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They were acting exactly like I had heard drow to act like.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Does her craftsmanship satisfy your requirements?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now, we plan who goes where... move out of cover, and then fuck, I trip on a root.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The whole plotting to kill me bit notwithstanding.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve hefn' actually set a date yet.&quot; ^^;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Really?&quot;

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Easily, of course.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You two were in there for hours. :p&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You didn't even talk about it all that time?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu tink ve vere talkink?&quot; ;3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The fuck gets up. Aldwin shouts he's under arrest... He made a grab, but the fuck had his sword out already, and cut through him like slicing bread.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;For a few minutes at a time, yes.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dere vas a lot uf babbel, but Hy don' tink dat kounts.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I grab my mace.. In the meantime, someone else started peppering us with arrows.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Very good.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve're chust glad to be togedder again right now.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">AND NOW THE SHOPPING COMMENCES.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve'll be settink a date soon.&quot;

Hakutaku:<font color="#FF0000">Yyyyyaaaaaaay!

Alissa Remina:<font color="#000000">:o

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did the other inquisitor survive?&quot; D:

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I request Saint Cuthbert's blessings, the mace starts glowing... we move towards each other.. his sword glowing too, but with an evil aura, distorting the air around, That's about when the wolf went down.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( I keep reading Remina as Jemima. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( And thinking she should be serving pancakes. ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=3= &quot;...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now that's the odd bit. I thinking it's my last hour, move in for the strike, then I hear a noise. I lost my attention.. bloody hell.. Aldwin didn't look half as dead as he should have.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well then, I hope you all enjoy the wine. I'm going to head back to our HQ now. You all be sure to visit some time, allright?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm-hmm!&quot; :D &quot;Oh! Hey! Y'doin' anythin' for the festival?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can help make cookies!&quot; ^.^

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Barbarus has secured a pavillion.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That.. compared to what I seen.. I froze for a moment.. the bugger used it for a low swing, cut my arm through. My mace fell.. the next two moves I felt, rather than seen.... next thing I know, woke up perfectly fit ,but hog-tied.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;We plan on offering a number of things. What about you, are you all setting up anything for hte festival?&quot;


 * Lauren Toris is still talking about the fish, wrapping it up in some butchers' paper. &quot;You'll have to cook catfish a little differently from other fish -- I suggest pan-frying, or frying it in oil, or perhaps baking...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Apparently he used some sort of enchantment on his sword... it fucks you up hard, and it can kill, but if you survive, the wounds heal up in hours, rather than months.&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll be wandering, and the little ones have thought about being little roving rogues. Maybe we'll stop by.&quot; :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Und Hy schtill hef to introduce her to everyone else...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi nods, and waves goodbye. Return to the HQ montage!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes, very nefarious.&quot; =w=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell.. I thought he wanted to interrogate me at first...turned out not to be the case, perhaps because the rest of the folk found me before he could.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Were you there, too, Tom? Sounds like you've at least heard this story before, and if you really fought a drow black knight -- &quot; *_*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah, Tom was sleeping hard when me and Aldwin were creeping through the undergrowth, with Linc on the track.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm waiting for the part where he offered us supper and sent an apology letter.&quot; :P

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hitting the pillows.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Apology?&quot;

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;... huh?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It was adding insult to injury.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;He knew how bad a screwup the operation was... &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not like it matters... we got his horse's feathers, though a bit later... and they never picked up on either the hair, or the cat from the other one.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It was him that clued us into the whole Yoriver fiends situation.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, clued us.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hearing him, you'd have thought the Yoriver Mace's idea of a pastime is baking children and riding on brooms.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You mean they don't?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like I say.. he's insane.. and *snerk*&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good one, Anise!&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Yoriver crew's a nasty bunch, everybody knows that.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've never heard anything to the contrary.&quot; =w=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nasty bunch, but they have to be.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, they are dealing with fucking diabolists in there.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, I mean, really nasty. That's like Mace penitentiary.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyways.. you know how they say the best liar is one who believes the shit himself.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This guy's it.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's where all the problem kids go to get their heads whacked straight.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah... folks that screw up get sent there.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus raises his brows.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But remember why they get sent there.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Dunno much about all that..&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Problem is, it's too easy to whack heads in the more crooked direction, too.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..But we did have our wizard -- the girl whose uncle sent that wine -- scry on some folk up there.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Think so? Wouldn't be so sure.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You get a lot of fallens there.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Saw some bodies.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Some had badges.&quot;


 * Cadamon Gardner clears his throat.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah..something's chewing through our folks fast in there.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Told her to take the badges to their branch, at least.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Marble Ring set with Banded Agate (500 gp), Blue Quartz Necklace (500 gp), Painted Glass Jar (140 gp), Painted Glass Necklace (20 gp), Painted Glass Puzzle Box (60 gp), Polished Stone Vase (140 gp), Shrine (50 gp), 33 x Vial of Exotic Ink (40 gp). |O

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitors, perhaps this isn't the best conversation topic in front of our new recruits?&quot; ^^

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Y-yeah. Beg your pardon.&quot; ^^;;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Watch us get to Yoriver, and find out the mace branch there is corrupt to the very core.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;500+500+140+20+60+140+50+(33*40) = 500 + 500 + 140 + 20 + 60 + 140 + 50 + 33 * 40 = 2730&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Right, Lieutenant, sorry.&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Just to fuck with Miron's head.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Meh, Cadamon... they aren't kids, and they have a chance to learn something.&quot;

Hakutaku:<font color="#FF0000">Boss fight: EX-MIRON D: *bricked*

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Boo.

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's surprisingly accurate

VAE:<font color="#000000">If that turned out to be the case.. miron breaking down is one possibilty

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Knock knock knock on the leaden mace's door. Is that a chill Miron just felt? &gt;:3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Should probably not be blurting stuff about an ongoing investigation, anyways..&quot; ^^;;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;They have... hello?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;True, true.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks over. &quot;?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyways, where was I. Right.. best liars believing their bullshit.. and well, this drow fills it to the letter.&quot;

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Naw, you're just paranoid as fuck.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, I might have believed him until he started spouting crap about Braxton Falls.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah. Hey you two.&quot;

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Braxton Falls is a shithole. =3=

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi pokes her head in, looks around.. and then looks to Thomas with her hands on her hips. &quot;Well what's all this then? I don't see everyone all over the floor. Are you hiding the wine from them?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;19759-2730 = 19759 - 2730 = 17029&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Where's Adelaide?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;For now.&quot; |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then I went.. 'Yeah, and then you woke up with a hand down the chamberpot.'&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Seriously, Braxton is a city we could all learn a lot from.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">That ferret better not be causing any trouble...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Brother Miron was just regailing us with his true accounts of the Altonor encounters.&quot; |3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl packs up his purchases into his bag of holding. &gt;|O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh? Has he gotten to the part where the drow single-handedly handed him his ass on a silver platter?&quot; Tathi says, sticking her tongue out. &quot;I wanted to come see what kind of destruction my uncle's wine would wreck, but it looks like you got cold feet, Thomas.&quot; :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo Sszeyl!&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus laughs. &quot;It's the middle of the afternoon, come on.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hello, all.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nah, he's just bein' a good inquisitor and saving it for after hours, ain't that right, Tom?&quot; :P

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl looks down to Swallowtail. Amayan: (&quot;I do not know if you enjoy gifts, or even what you would like as a gift. So here is a shot in the dark.&quot;) Swallowtail is given +1 painted glass puzzle box.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;C'mon! Maybe this time I'll take down an entire wall and not just a door. I'm sure good ole Ashmore would love my remodeling.&quot; &gt;:)

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">TECH.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I actually knew that would happen.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Tathi you've been avoiding the wine like your uncle sent you samples of the withering plague. Why so keen on getting into it now?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh wait, no. =3=

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Tech wouldn't have saved the map.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">We have a Code T, ladies and gentlemen, a Code T. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. ^^;;;;;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, obviously, seeing the entire leaden mace so drunk they couldn't find a necromancer in a violated crypt would be worth it.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He's a crazy like that.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, you came in at the end, but before Edaric and I went to the pawn shop, I was talking to him about making the deal there, and he mentioend you used to work at some place called ebonwood. Think they might be interested in a buisness deal between them and the guardians? Since you have history?&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( lol, brb right quick, need to feed doug ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is that a challenge, Tathi?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Actually, gonna relocate real quick. Heading to the rec center so I can use the free interwebz instead of using my phonenet.

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( you out in the suck yet, rammy poo? ))

RAM:<font color="#990000">Nah, still at pre-deployment training.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I did, partway.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Got another couple weeks before I have to embrace that particular suck.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides, Eli and Thorgar sent their reports to the commander weeks ago. See, Tathi, where you have family, I got old colleagues.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Anyway, relocating. Back in a few!

 * Meany scrolls up.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Just make sure you make them aware my father is in possession of a few leaden mace badges right now. Some from victims, some from enemies.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Enemies, my arse.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;No. The proprieter likes to remain out of the limelight.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What you'll tell next.. that a demon had a badge pinned on his dick?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, pour the wine then. That'll shut us up!&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He already has a standing one, that is frankly a bit lopsided in our favor.&quot;

 * Cadamon Gardner is brick'd.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We'll need to cordon you off after it begins.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well deny it all you want. But I've heard from my very father there's Maces out there consorting with, what do you usually call them? Demon fuckers? Yes, that's it, AND falling prey to them. It's a completely unbiased opinion. My father had probably never even given the Mace a half a glance before this. And NOW he's got Thomas' own sister out there with him, and still you deny these claims? Head in the dark, Miron. Head in the dark.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">SUDDENLY!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hungry Half-Orc.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, they are called malconvokes. Duping demons into fighting for us. Hell, our branch here's got one.&quot;

CATFISH:<font color="#0000FF">Are we ordering take out then?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor is holding his forehead and looking inattentive

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi peers oddly at Miron.. &quot;Okay.. he even mentions consorting with demons and he.. starts to look strange. Miron? You allright?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*shakes his head*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nothing, just a bit of a headache&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I.. think he's broken..&quot; Tathi comments, and shrugs. &quot;Well, I'm thinking about changing all the windows to Commander Asmore's office to bright pink. What do you think?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+0 = 11 + 0 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bluff

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; I knew that was you. =w=;&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang walks into the kitchen area, carrying his gnome fiance bridal-style. |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way.. isn't there a table downstairs?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She grins.

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ma'am, if you are playing laughing rogue, you are three days early.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hello.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Serving fish time. *_*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Few days early, few cogs short.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Early bird catches the abyssmal wyrm, Cadamon!&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus hmphs. &gt;|3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Everyone dat hesn' already, meet my fiance!&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Ah, yes. Ms. Morgan. This is Tathi El Sear Thick.&quot; |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And an early fuck gets laughed at.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You're not even trying!&quot; Tathi says, glowering at Thomas.


 * Anise Berilan laughs! |D


 * Thomas Lazarus handwaves.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, she's thicker than she's searing.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*knocks on his forehead*

Talfeera:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hiiii~&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;That's it. You know what? Everytime you screw up my name, take a shot. We'll see how quickly you get it then.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I figured I should atleast introduce the person who apparently owns the place, judging by your barging in and trouble-making.&quot; &gt;|3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well of course. I'm a wizard.&quot; She says, grinning. &quot;And I half expected to come in here and find everyone on the floor.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ma'am, if you're going to insist on trying to rabble-rouse among our inquisitors with that wine, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.&quot; ^^

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I TOLD YOU.


 * Thomas Lazarus handwaves again. |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Give it a few hours, sheesh. I thought you were supposed to be super-patient or something like that.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good idea, Cadamon. I'm pretty sure there's a table downstairs.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We should move it down there. I wonder how much of a rabble-rouser she'll be when she's licking the brickwork and calling it grey lollipops.&quot;

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

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot; Please don't encourage her. &quot; ^^;

 * VAE goes mironmode

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">be glad you're not paladin sheperd then. They've got ants that jump 5 feet through the air and have a sting that stops your heart. :|

VAE:<font color="#000000">Back in last summer, we were taking down corn.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Australia~


 * VAE came home with his grandpa and a car carriage full of corn stalks, and started breaking them off, putting stalks away to be cut for the goats, and putting corn into crates

VAE:<font color="#000000">Now, it was hot as hell, so the lynx was half-waist naked

RAM:<font color="#990000">Eww.

GM:<font color="#000000">Dingalingalingaling~ A bell tinkles in Guardian HQ.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Shaved lynx.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lynx climbs up to the silo, putting the crate up first

VAE:<font color="#000000">Starts throwing corn in

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;What's that?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Notices a spiderweb in the corner

VAE:<font color="#000000">a huge cross-spider empty spiderweb

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh, he thinks, that spider is likely hiding off somewhere during daytime


 * Gamal-Junayd looks up at the bell

VAE:<font color="#000000">Suddenly, lynx feels something lolhuge crawling down his back

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is that a call for something?&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Fuck, almost fell down from the laddder

RAM:<font color="#990000">Hrm.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Tokentool no working. :/

VAE:<font color="#000000">ran across my bare back from neck-side to somewhere down the work trousers

VAE:<font color="#000000">and I seen the fucking spider the day before - as big as my thumb

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aw, jeez! DX *flail*

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">cross spiders aren't that nasty because they just sit on their fat arses in the webs

VAE:<font color="#000000">but fuck are they large


 * Gamal-Junayd heads towards the front, lookinf for some sortt of bell

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ah, there we go.Now...

Clerk:<font color="#000000">The new clerk is pulling on the bell. &quot; -- Ah. Hello. Are you one of the Vigilant Guardians? &quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">VAE: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3058/3031851813_08d355f2dc.jpg


 * Thomas Lazarus starts.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ohh, right.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, you must be the clerk gnogglebolt said he was hiring. May I help you?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Tathi, how did that charter thing go?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Are we official now?&quot;

Clerk:<font color="#000000">&quot; This man was asking after the Vigilant Guardians. &quot; She gestures to a half-elf sitting in a chair, who is looking curiously at Gamal.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Terrible. We're labeled criminals now.&quot; She says, and grins. &quot;Kidding, it went fine. We can even advertise at the upcoming festivel.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dunno about that, Cadamon. She won't shut up until thrown out, or until someone takes her up on it.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">http://500motivators.com/plog-content/thumbs/motivate/me/large/619-boss-spider-fuck-that-that-one-has-a-mana-bar.jpg

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ahh. Very good.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I wonder if that means you'll be getting business proposals and people knocking at HQ now..&quot; :.

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gamal-Junayd of the Vorel-Svent, I assume?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;What's up?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">My punch face senses are tingling.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hrm. You know, I wonder about that. In fact I'm not sure who's there right now. Miron's not, so I don't have to worry about offending anyone.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Haha, That'd be rich. Tathi tossing adventuring on the nailhook, and moving on to selling fey wine.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hells no Miron. My uncle would have you running for the hills in a day. He's that crazy.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Who is this crazy uncle of yours, anyways?&quot;

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">SUDDENLY!

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">'sUP?

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">*'Sup?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well not so suddenly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the hell are you two talking about, anyways.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;you seem to have me at an advantage sir. and you are?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">More like 'over the course of 15 seconds while downloading'.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But semantics. *bricked*

VAE:<font color="#000000">hell, I'm dumb today

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang gets two plates of delicious fish, one for him and another for Talfeera, and sets her in his lap while they omnomnom.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ahhh. That would be Calreth. Likes to be called, of all things, Amishar, however. I be that's the name all over the courts right now.&quot; She says, and shudders a moment. &quot;And to think! He comes from my mother's side no less! They're supposed to be the sane ones! It's my father's side that has the dragon blood all over the place!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tomorrow, I'll look at this log, and weep.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">*bet

Notus:<font color="#A14D7F">A group of animals playing in the corner.

Notus:<font color="#A14D7F">What is this I don't even

Niphred:<font color="#A14D7F">'Sup?

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your mercenary coworkers speak very highly of you. Haron Silverthrush. A messenger. Though today, I'm stopping by regarding a possible pickup.&quot; He looks over at Sszeyl. &quot;I hope your delivery in Thalinde went off without a problem?&quot;

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Yo.

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

Notus:<font color="#A14D7F">Hey.

Arato:<font color="#A14D7F">Howdy.

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">Hai~

VAE:<font color="#000000">Cal'tel and Miron missed each other once again

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The aggressive gnome nearly killed your friends.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Or rather, tried to and failed.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron's like Inspector Clouseau.

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">Why do you think I'm here now, inquisitor? =3= *brick'd*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And I am going to punch the mounted one the next time I see him.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Wait, better

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">So, 'sup dawg?


 * Haron Silverthrush raises an eyebrow. &quot;..........&quot;

Niphred:<font color="#A14D7F">Got some tasty fish.

Niphred:<font color="#A14D7F">You?

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Just chillin'.


 * Gamal-Junayd looks at sszeyel

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I.... see.&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Paul Juve, as played by Luis de Funes... and that makes Cal'Tel Fantomas

VAE:<font color="#000000">*brick'd so hard*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I can't win. Bed, why u no let me win on Saturdays

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;In short it didn't go well.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Ta~ ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You're retarded. :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">who's off ?

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( I know I am. :3 ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh?

VAE:<font color="#000000">whyso, owl?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I always either get two hours of sleep or resort to sleep aids the night before and spend the whole day sleepy. =w=;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, my curiousity about what might be going on at the HQ is spiking, so I'm going to head back. By the way, Thomas? I plan on trying to scry on Dad again tonight, if you'd like to see Tomiko again.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">sleep aids are bad

VAE:<font color="#000000">Even short sleep is good, normal

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I would ask how, though I suspect I don't want to know the answer. The letter did get delivered, though?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Quite.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">and by great fortune I am back.


 * VAE runs on two hours at times

TMG:<font color="#000000">Reading up what I've missed.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And a return letter sent on to your Rhy friend.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Self-flagellation is what is bad.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's like.. even if you can't fall asleep.. just lying with your eyes closed actually rests you

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

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


 * VAE has had practical experience with that

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I can't help but wonder what they're up to.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, so there was a letter he gave you. Has it already been sent, or is it still in your possession?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*THUNDER*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can't help but slap my forehead at wha I think they are. At least your sister's there, Tom..a moderate influence.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;I would be glad to deliver it for you if it was the latter.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; :3;;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">From the kitchen...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve hef visitors?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well it'll be interesting to see anyways!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Already passed on, I'm afraid. I sent it off before exploring the river bed.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, I'd be a lot more worried if that wasn't the case. A madman with a disdain for authority like her father is not a good person to send deal with a situation like that.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;.... I see.&quot; Sense Motive check.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 13 + 3 = 16&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Sense motive check!

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi rolls her eyes.. &quot;Head in the dark as always.. Anyway, I'll be scrying from my room, afterwhich I'm headed home. Come on up when you're ready, allright?&quot; Tathi says, standing.

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, well. I suppose there isn't much reason for me to stick around, then.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh. To the forest?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;As for the rest of you, don't enjoy the wine too much, allright?&quot; She says, and nods to Thomas.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sure thing. I'll be by before too long.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pass on my regards to the rest of the Guardians, would you?&quot;


 * Haron Silverthrush catches a glimpse over Sszeyl's shoulder and seems faintly boggled.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I will. Have a good trip.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I have surprised the spy.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Achievement get.

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Beg your pardon?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Is it not the last night of the full moon?&quot;

Hakutaku:<font color="#FF0000">SEE YOU NEXT FALL *trips Haron*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I would assume you're going out of town while the Elf-Drinker is around, since you don't seem the type to buddy up.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah. Thank you.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh! Cadamon! Do me a favor?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Kiss me!&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">*bricked all of the times*

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;... your group seems to have been quite busy with recruitment. Are the people in there all Guardians?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;They are.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Right in front of me? And Aelian (I guess)? &gt;:O

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hm?&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">Sense Motive check.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Do tell your commander his hair looks dashing for me, won't you?&quot; :3

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">*facepalm*

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I doubt his wife will appreciate the sentiment coming from another woman.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;the Guardians have gone from a party...to a company recently.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aelian, you have competition.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;A wife you say? Hrmmmmmmmmmmm.&quot; &gt;:)

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot; The Commander's married?!&quot; O_o

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What happened Tathi, can't he get it up anymore? A shame at his age.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Your mouth is moving again, Miron. You might want to check on that.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Will you just get going before I throw you out.&quot; =w=;;;

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


 * Anise Berilan chuckles at Arlene's sentiment.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Arlene's reaction got me

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">No Sense Motive checks from the Guardian crew?

Miron: <font color="#000000">&quot;No need to be sad, Arlene - Cadamon here isn't taken&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Sense Motive: &#171; &#160;1d20-5 = 9 - 5 = 4&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; &gt;:3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi turns a sour look towards Miron. &quot;Just for that, Miron, I'm going to get a kill count from my father tonight. Let's see how many of your badges he's collected. And maybe even from who.&quot; She says, and heads out. Uh oh..

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;I didn't mean --!&quot; Sputter. &quot;He's twice my age!&quot;


 * Cadamon Gardner also sputters. &gt;/////&gt;;;;


 * Thomas Lazarus frowns a bit more seriously at Tathi's departure. &quot;...&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">oops.. I never deleted my old tokens. clones, standin' out in the rain. XD


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs sharply. &quot;Jeeze..&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">None of them have the skill. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 12&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Sense Motive?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gone like a stench.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">I meant Gamal and Sszeyl. XP

Miron:<font color="#000000">*spits on the floor*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Aww...

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hello hello! Oh, who's this?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">But.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I rolled.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">A 16.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Second roll.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The first one got you nothing.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">SUDDENLY!

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">Half-Orc and Gnome.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anise, at least now, you see why I trust anyone from her damn family less than a fat merchant with a thin cow.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy hear Taddi! Haloo!&quot; :D

Clerk:<font color="#000000">&quot; Hello, sir, ma'am. Mr. Sparkgear hired me as your new clerk. Violet Vesav. &quot;

 * Gamal-Junayd doesnt have much of a skill in it soo...


 * Thomas Lazarus groans quietly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If anything needs to be done in Yoriver, it's stopping her father from being a loose cannon, and making the shit up there worse than it is.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ooo, a new clerk? Nice to meet you. I'm Tathi and this is Aelian. We're the wizard and ranger of the group.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yeah, well.. that's about as much tact as she usually has.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">There's a faint flicker of an expression of despair on the messenger's face as he looks back into the room with all those new recruits. =w=;;;;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Taddi! Taddi! Meet Talfeera!&quot; :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm confident she was just embellishing to rile you up.&quot; =3=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That was Gamal's result, sorry. ^^;

Talfeera:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hi!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brother, from the looks of them, I can hardly build on that judgement.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In any case, I do want to atleast check in on family if she's scrying again.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh! Hello there! Nice to meet you!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh hey, when did Mr. Silverthrush get here?&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I told you what I think of the whole affair.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not long ago -- I was just on my way out, actually. Unless there's something you need me for?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The diabolist fuckery is a part of it, but another part is a conflict over land between the Yoriver county and her lot, the elves&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah. Right.&quot; =w=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And, I bet my ass that it isn't clean cut either, otherwise the crown would stomp down on them - actual takeover of acknowledged territory would be an act of war.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We'll know before long. If it's like that, we'll be the first to learn of it without it being suppressed.&quot;


 * VAE faintly reminds the elves there actually have their own government of sorts and aren't a part of Akellon

VAE:<font color="#000000">*remembers

VAE:<font color="#000000">not reminds

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">tiredlynx is tired

GM:<font color="#000000">... is anyone other than Hatari and VAE even here? =w=;;;;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In any case, I'm going to go check on that.&quot; He stands.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">I am!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good for you.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">sorry I'm cooking dinner so..semi here

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We haven't bloody agreed when shall we celebrate!&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;When I get back.&quot; He smirks.

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;... how long ago did you hire all those new people?&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ahahah! Good one.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hope Flint and Gilric are back, by that time,&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well that was awkward.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Saved.. but.. why 4 all the eyes? XD

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">... that is not a concerting look.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Because you touch yourself at night.

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">That is in fact the opposite. A disconcerting look, if you will. &gt;.&gt;;;;;;;

RAM:<font color="#990000">You should prolly stop doing that.


 * VAE will be back, prob'ly still well in time for Tom to return

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; He clears his throat after a moment.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Yes, well.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good to see you again.&quot; =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I have reconsidered how I planned to undertake this reunion.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*_*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Bai!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Passive-aggressive Thomas is confusing.

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh fark!

TMG:<font color="#000000">Did I -seriously- JUST miss Silverthrush?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Dammit! DX

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

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Same to you, inquisitor...&quot; Juuuuust to be sure I'm moving attack points toward AC with Combat Expertise -- no AoOs no AoOs &gt;.&gt;;;;;;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">If you run you might be able to catch him. He's not very far gone yet.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">The door to the workshop clicks and opens and Gnogglebolt emerges, with a few more soot smudges.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who was at the door?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo Gnogglebolt!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Silverthrush. He just left.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... You want I trail?&quot; *.*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi, did you give him his letter?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The letter I handed to you for him?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I just sent him on his way a few seconds ago.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;From Arivan?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">No, she didn't.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Because I mailed it to Rhylinar already.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Mailed it to where? =3=

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You may want to say that IC.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt doesn't know that. :P

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">None yo damn bin'niss.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Anyways!&quot; ^_^

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I'm reminding you th letter was for -Rhylinar.-

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Say it IC please. =w=

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;No, she did not.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( I have no clue, so I am not answering. ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I mailed it already.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh--huh? Really?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus turns to Violet. &quot;Hello! I've never seen you about before. I'm Tom.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know where Rhylinar is? Arivan said to give the letter to Silverthrush and he'd get it to Rhylinar, but okay...&quot;

Violet Vesav:<font color="#000000">&quot; Pleasure to meet you. I'm your new clerk -- Violet Vesav. &quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So..do you all have much dealings with him? He seemed to alrteady know who I was before I even said my name.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Of course I do.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yes. We have history with that mysterious messenger.&quot;


 * Shankfang the Deffrider just realized he hasn't met the new clerk yet!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He's a bit more, shall you say, information-savvy than a 'mere messenger',&quot; to Gamal.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo Fraulein!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy'm Shenkfang de Deffrider!&quot; :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, welcome to the guardians Ms. Vesav. It's a pleasure to meet you.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( brb, corn on the cob! ))

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dis iz my fiance, Talfeera!&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Someone warn Gamal and Shankfang about the mules.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ms. Vesav too, just in case.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Mules?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus handwaves. =3=

Violet Vesav:<font color="#000000">&quot; Hello, sir, and small ma'am. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Honduras is pretty nice..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..The other one's kind of..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Really dangerous..&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Venezuela: <font color="#A14D7F">EYE. OF. SAURON.

Venezuela:<font color="#A14D7F">Through the wall!

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


 * Swallowtail shudders. D:

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Really?&quot; :O

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Kooool.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Barbarus has had her kill some of our enemies in straight-up combat. Very aggressive animal.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do you mean by mules though?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actual animals?&quot;

Venezuela:<font color="#A14D7F">No, he means people who move Barbarus' drugs.

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( mmm, corn ))

Venezuela:<font color="#A14D7F">:|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes. There's a pen just outside, if you've never explored.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, they are actual animal mules.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They belong to Barbarus.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi heads up stairs, while Aelian muses about downstairs.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... BRB, heating veggies myself. Hungry. :9

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Everyone just hanging around down here, hrm?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's not like they're supernatural or anything. Just. You know. Don't let them out, or stand in there with them and expect not to get rough-housed.&quot;

Venezuela:<font color="#A14D7F">You are now picturing the Velociraptor scene from Jurassic Park.

Venezuela:<font color="#A14D7F">With this mule.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Shall we all move back to the meeting room?&quot;

Honduras:'''<font color="#A14D7F">SHOOT HERE! '''

Honduras:<font color="#A14D7F">her*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's something I wanted to mention to everyone.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Gnoggle. &quot;Anywho. Anything going down around here while I was off?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Huh? Oh, uh, I...don't know, I was in the workshop the whole time.&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh. Okay. Will it take less than an hour? I think Tathi is working a scrying upstairs that'll fire off about then.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">To the meeting room!

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sszeyl and Gamal cooked a catfish.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It should, it should.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods to Talfeera.

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It smelled delicious.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">oh mother son of a.. guess what I lost in the freeze?

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">My noms.. -.-;

RAM:<font color="#990000">D:


 * Meany pats.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not the noooooms

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And as the Guardians file back into the meeting room (Gnogglebolt is surprised Shankfang didn't try to hug the new clerk, but is glad he didn't), he leans towards the desk (but not actually on it, as he's too short), and whispers; &quot; So. This is the eccentric crew. Sure you can handle working around here?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang is too busy holding his fiance to hug anyone.

Snarky:<font color="#000000">As if to push his point, Snarky hops onto the desk and starts clicking, making the clerk's hair start to poof up.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Down, snarky. &quot; Handle Animal: &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;


 * Gamal-Junayd notices that almost everyone is between the two rooms of dining and lounge

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, darn, that's right, Lia's afk...

TMG:<font color="#000000">ah well, will wait for her reurn.

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh..just a notice. Since were an official buisness now...I made a deal with the Pearldust pawn shop earlier today..they'll provide us with information and free advertising, and in exchange, we offer them first pick of any gems we are selling. simple enough deal, and maybe if it works out, we can form deals with other buisnesses. &quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Nize!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Excellent. :o&quot;

Violet Vesav:<font color="#000000">&quot; They seem interesting. &quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Lia's back!

RAM:<font color="#990000">:D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sure, that'll be easy enough. I would have anyways. The look on their faces now that I know will be priceless.&quot; 83

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could try tracking silver thrush... I could...&quot; =3=;

VAE:<font color="#000000">so yeah

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron's waiting for Tom back at the Mace

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Wait, what? XD

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods in a satisfied way and follows the others back into the meeting room.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I think he is

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I think try is the key word.&quot; =3=;


 * VAE wonder

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He is a sneakthief.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tom announced he would be back when it was like, dark out. Hours and hours from now. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway...oh, Shankfang, come along, you might want to hear this.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sure Miron wants to chill?


 * VAE confuzzled

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I mean obviously it would be okay to stay there in a perfect world.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, that entirely depends, Swallowtail. Can you keep yourself safe while doing it? I don't think any of us want you endangering yourself.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl takes a couple of items out of his bag.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Where you had a narrator without split attention. &gt;:9


 * Dr. Hatari is bricked.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Seat'd!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Okay, looks like I'm officially too tired stupid

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">A marble ring set with garnet, and a quartz necklace. Both worth 500 gp each.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">And slides them to Taly and Shankfang.


 * Talfeera seems qute satisfied with her half-orcy perch. |3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Wedding presents.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's a question. How's everyone with tired levels?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway--&quot;Gnogglebolt pauses for a moment, distracted that his sister is seated on a half-orc's shoulder seated next to him. &quot;Uh..anyway. Guardians here who remember the Blackskulls?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mr. Silverthrush is significantly more dangerous than he lets on. Please don't follow him.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I'm actually pretty peppy. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oooh, tenk hyu Sszeyl!&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( I has tea! &gt;:O ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is just a little thing I just wanted to let everyone know about, see where we go with it.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Blackskulls were before Aelian, if I remember correctly.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Not shoulder.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Lap. ;3

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 11 + 7 = 18&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Knowledge Local. &#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 9 + 7 = 16&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Knowledge History.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">On these Blackskulls. |D

Talfeera:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, thank you!&quot; :D

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Quite welcome.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Primera, you know that they're a cabal of necromancers of central Akellon, often seen wearing black-lacquered skull masks made out of bone.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who are they?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, uh, a group of necromancers around here.&quot;


 * Swallowtail frowns. &quot;Too well.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They comprised at least two of our missions after the goblins.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">After a while back at the Mace....

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Bone-faces, si?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">No, Ael, remember? You were with the group at least around Sargano tomb time. We held the fort back at base.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang clasps the necklace around Talfeera's neck, and slides the ring on his finger. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm.. while we're at it, might as well go check the temples. Who knows, maybe the bugger really is a client somewhere.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Ah! Thanks. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;See you lot later. Don't let Anise finish off the bottle before it's time, either.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">With that, Miron walks out of the HQ

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, as those of us here who were around for the Blackskulls, as we know, the group--or at least its leadership, is still at large. We know that the man with many names, the one who was playing all those goblin tribes against each other? He's still around, as is the Blackskull head honcho. And, I'm sorry I didn't share this information before, while I don't know the head honcho's identity, I do know that he's a vampire. It was a bit of information that came up when we were investigating the Spindlethorns or the Sarganos before actually raiding them, can't remember which.&quot;


 * Anise Berilan crosses her arms and pouts. &quot;I don't even have the bottle, rotter Tom took it with him...&quot; &gt;:\

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh yeah...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I might as well have just shattered it on the ground if I was going to leave it there with boozemonk. =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt spreads his hand. &quot;So...yeah. For those of us in the group that have been around the longest, the Blackskulls were sort of our prime enemy for awhile. And we're gonna be here in Castleton for a little while yet before heading out again, right?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;So it seems, yes.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">&quot;Luv, remind me to giff hyu de presents Hy got for hyu vile Hy vas travelink.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Keep an eye on her, anyways. Arlene- the last time Anise here claimed she hasn't seen a bottle, she was drunk like a sack. &quot; *laugh*

Miron:<font color="#000000">(assumed to be said as he's leaving)

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang leans forward and whispers that in Talfeera's ear, in case that was unclear.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know probably all of you want to use this as rest and relaxation time, which is fine if you do. But now we're bigger and stronger, and so it just crossed my mind that we might keep our ears down to the ground as long as we're here, in case we hear of any activity going on with them.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And if we do, then, maybe...finishing up that organization breakdown once and for all.&quot;

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

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;For what?&quot;

Talfeera:<font color="#000000">&quot; Oh, snugglebear~ I need to get some things for you now! The only things I could bring along were a pocketwatch and some more gunpowder... &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt quickly puts up his hands. &quot;But I'm not going to push anyone into it, I was just wondering of the possibility.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If he's a vampire, it'll be a lot harder than the last few times.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It is actually a sound plan. A target of opportunity, if you will.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And not just because vampires are powerful undead creatures.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;But yes, the fact he is a vampire begs the question. Could we bring him down?&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;What are his strategies? What should we be looking for?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anyways.. I assume this sort of an affair would be check-handled

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;And how long until Gamal and Thomas have enchanted weapons?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I mean it will literally be very difficult to even find him. Heck, we could have met this person before if they're a vampire.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">&quot;Hall Hy need iz hyu here vith me, schparky.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If he is laying low.. it could be harder than getting those Helvirahel pests.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's what we'd have to do a little more detective work for. I know someone I think I can go to for a little more information, I think the same man who told me the leader was a vampire. A wizard living here in Castleton by the name of Master Khezum Destraliss.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">To Swallowtail. &quot;Brian said it could take up to a month. Possibly less. I'll check with him in a week or so.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Unfortunately, sickly long-haired red-haired male elf in black isn't much to go on in a city.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll probably visit him sometime in the next few days, ask him if he knows or has heard anything else. I've visited him before.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Even in temples?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances at Thomas. &quot;I see. Well, that is something to keep in mind.&quot;


 * VAE wonders if even bother rolling for anything

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It would be wise to research the undead then, and find the particular weaknesses of a vampire.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;At any rate, unless anyone wants to, we don't really need to devote any special effort towards tracking him down if there's not much gain then.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, fuck. The opposite of no traces sucks as well.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( ...Do vampires have DR? I can't recall... ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just hope to someday--not today, but someday, end that particular threat that stalks Castleton and beyond, since we know about it and have the will to do something about it.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">This is DnD.

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( If so, then I need to get Rose made and enchanted ASAP! ))

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Everything has DR.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">It's just that we have DR0. |U

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, half the city seems to be red-haired sickly elves.And I bet if I was looking for a fat elf, suddenly, eighty would pop out from nowhere too,&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">you don't

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Har har.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Brb

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">afk

VAE:<font color="#000000">you'd take less damage from cursed weapons

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Be cautious, friend. There are many tales of the cunning of vampires subverting their pursuers. He may full well find out who we are and retaliate. If he has not already learned. But, if we do find out, by all means. You absolutely have my full support. And no doubt several other inquisitors. Maybe even some of my brethren at the shining temple.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">as in, lmore less than the -1 or how many

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Where the hell is miron? XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Vampires are parasites, and self-propagating greater undead. They are some of the mightiest champions of the damned, and not to be taken lightly.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He could be anyone in this room right now. |3&quot;

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Especially me, since my wardrobe deliberately blocks the sunlight.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang peers playfully at Talfeera.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods.

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


 * Miron just has this awesome talent of never being in the right time at the right place

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Luv are hyu a vampire?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:B


 * Thomas Lazarus stares flatly at Shankfang. &quot;...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just pinches his nose at the people sitting to his left.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">They just reunited today so I'll give them a pass. =w=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Either way, after asking around at temples produced far too many false positives to bother with...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:3

Talfeera:<font color="#000000">&quot;Darn, you caught me. I'm... a snugglepire!&quot; Talfeera leans up and nuzzles Shankfang's neck playfully. &quot;Rawr!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Is that bit of business concluded?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;... right, new rule of the Vigilant Guardians, you cannot chide Tathi and I for being a couple ever again. Witnessed and passed, have a nice day.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, that'

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, that's all I wanted to say.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hear hear.&quot; :B


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles quietly.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Then on to the next article of business.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just some information that should have shared a long time ago, didn't remember it until know.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Barbarus, everyone is creeped out by your minions.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well. It'll be something I will ask Flint about when I next see him. Which should be tonight.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Really?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; They're not minions.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Eventually, the substantially pissed off inquisitor ends up at the VGcats .. I mean VGguardians HQ

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes.&quot; =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If anyone knows how to find a hiding vampire, it is him.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus laughs nervously. ^^;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Still if we can take him down..eliminating old enemies gives us time to concentrate on new ones.&quot;

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


 * VAE wonders how long, and if he should yet wait before moving him in

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We've already taken down at least four components of their organization, I'm surprised we have felt retaliation yet.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I see I'm not the only person who thinks of VGcats when I load this map. :B

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well..I don't know if I can do anything about that.&quot; |B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*we haven't

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;A schnugglepire! Hy schould hef known! Tough, not necessarily a bad tink.&quot; Shankfang chuckles and nuzzles back.

Violet Vesav:<font color="#000000">&quot; Hello, sir. Are you here for the Vigilant Guardians, or for the tinker school? &quot; a soft-spoken human woman asks Miron when he comes in.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. Several factors could be the root of that. For starters, we left no free witnesses besides civilians.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Knock on wood, I suppose.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why knock on wood?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Also, he could simply be choosing not to act on the knowledge even if he has it in full.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Vigilant Guardians.. I'm one of the Leaden Mace liaisons.. Inquisitor Steelsprocket&quot;

Violet Vesav:<font color="#000000">&quot; Please wait just a moment, sir. &quot; Dingalingalingalilng! The bell in the common room rings again.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's all just sort of wild speculation until we know something, though..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's head snaps up. &quot;Oh! Someone's here for us.&quot;

Miron:''<font color="#000000">She can speak... that's already a point over Elros. She can pull a string.. two points ''

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Pamela mentioned him, actually ... when I saw her last, before her execution ...&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks up at the bell.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Anodder visitor?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll get it.&quot;

Hlis:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;That's Miron, he's a member.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">nevermind :B

Violet Vesav:<font color="#000000">&quot; Please go in, sir. &quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo Miron!&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus waves.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Wave wave wave! :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thanks&quot; *walks in*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We were just talking about possibly turning up the search for the blackskull leader. Some vampire, apparently.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey Tom.. remember mentioning that the temples tend to know their regulars?&quot;

Adelaide:<font color="#000000">'Sup, dude.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What about it?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You were right... Just the pelorite one over at the corner turned up twenty five red-haird, thin elves who wear black...&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Who're you looking for, anyways?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fuck a search like that with a rusty rake.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Some bugger that was checking me out when I was tracking Cal'tel&quot;

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

Snarky:<font color="#000000">I should join the Familiar Corner.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I bent a few corners, he followed for a while.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then, noticed I'm noticing and disappeared like a stench &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He was here about a half-hour ago, actually.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Cal'tel, not this red-head guy.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But .. yeah. Not a good day for me.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the fuck did he want here?&quot;&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... You know, I don't know.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to the others. &quot;What did he want?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;....&quot; Edaric looks over the table cheekily at Aelian.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;To marry Ed.'

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Elbow.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also, Francis York is a vampire? Where the hell you got that from?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Were you tailing Miron, Aelian?&quot; :P

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Ouch. |3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who's Cal'tel?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus suddenly puts two and two together and scoffs.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No no no, Francis York isn't the vampire--not that I know of at least. Francis York is the guy with many names.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;He should be tailing Tathi, but he lacks the tail.. that's why she wanted to get Cadamon to book her a date with our commander.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just know the leader of the Blackskulls is a vampire.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Cal'tel. Haron Silverthrush.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hey!! I am not that skinny!&quot; Aelian says, huffing.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He has a lot of names. He's a cloak and dagger kind of guy.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 17 + 7 = 24&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Knowledge History on Francis York. :O

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah. he was asking sszeyel about thalinde.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja, hyu are.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu are very skinny.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Francis York being the Blackskull guy with many names. &gt;.&gt;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right.. makes sense.York isn't their overall leader, just a bigger cheese in the big C&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Unfortunately that doesn't turn up anything, Primera.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But.. I still have no idea wheere you got that from.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Though, I suppose it's possible the two -are- one and the same, if York is that sneaky. I dunno.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 3 + 9 = 12&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge (local) on blackskulls. Does this even bloody make sense

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Maybe? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">They are a cabal of necromancers.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actually, it's something I knew for a long time, but totally forgot to mention. It turned up when we were originally investigating either the Spindlethorns or the Sarganos, can't remember which.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In any case, if he wants to not be found, it'll probably be a very uphill search pulling one particular creepy predator out of the haystack that is Castleton. We were just talking.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends on who you were asking.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Leader is a broad category.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm pretty sure it was the Spindlethorns, though. Those two were apprentices or something to a wizard here in Castleton called Khazum Destraliss. I talked with him a bit.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;He mentioned the Blackskull leader was known to be a vampire.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I figured I would try to catch Flint later and ask if he knows anything about smoking out vampires. Not getting my hopes up, though.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides, if it was a vampire *and* a cult leader? I doubt he'd show his ugly mug outside long enough for shit like this to be publicly known.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But I forgot to share that with everyone else at the time since we were focusing on the spindlethorns, and not him.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Meh... are you sure the old guy wasn't just knotting something up?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs slightly.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everything he told me about the Spindlethorns checked out, and we used that information to get to them.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, I remember looking up york's criminal record under a bunch of names.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, it was where i got the abandoned house being written up on him bit.&quot;


 * Shankfang the Deffrider tries to follow the conversation.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">He really does.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I wonder if this old Zoom is connected to them.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Used to be a part of that 'Society of Saltmarsh' group of wizards who Khazum is either a part of or leads, can't remember which.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Doesn't seem like what a powerful vampire would do,&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;To know such things.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">But Talfeera is just too tempting. x3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Nuzzle nuzzle~

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, Smartarses. Plenty of scum studied there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But it was just something I thought I might as well bring up now.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Are we going to have to bar snuggling from the meeting room :| *bricked*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I'm sorry, Vuz, it has to be done *double-bricked*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You mean *Shot*!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. It's something to try, I suppose.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">We will fight you to the bitter end, lazarus nazi! :P

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But, hey, there's a celebration in three days.&quot; {|3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So...yeah. Anything else?&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yes! What have we done about getting a stall?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll go back to my workshop if not..&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You know, I ACTUALLY have a picture of Thomas dressed as a Nazi.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyone heard anythign about a sign stolen from the Talespinner tavern?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I do not know why I saved it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But there it is.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">show us

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, what of his sister?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Eva braun

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sign stolen -- OH!&quot; XD

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">wait '

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;That was a long time ago! Two years ago, I think.&quot; :3 &quot;It's a local tale.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">pause one sec gnoggle

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, that's interesting. The guy I talked to, some local worker, sort of told it like it was last week or so.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I've already made Tomi dressed as a Nazi as a motivational before, that was easy. :P

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

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">...

RAM:<font color="#990000">WHY HAVE I NOT SEEN THESE?!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">After game. XP

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;The sign got stolen by somebody two years ago. But everybody who would frequent it knows where it is anyway. And it's the Sign of the White Rose.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Darroth does pretty good business even without the sign. Think he's just never gotten around to replacing it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Everyone.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, a sign with a white rose on it. That should be easy to replace .&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either that, or he has replaced the sign and it's been stolen again and again due to tradition.&quot; :P

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm ,sounds like it.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles.

Miron:''<font color="#000000">So Cal'tel *is* a regular there... ''

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I need your paintings back.&quot;

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

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I intend to have them framed properly, and in some cases entirely revised.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Aw. {:3&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah, you can take that drowish hag you painted back at any time.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mine's up in my room on the wall.&quot; ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, anyone remembers where I put it?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You set it on fire.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. That's in my pack somewhere. I'll get it.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh. Crap. Ours is at the new home..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did I?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wanted to set it up as a crossbow target&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That reminds me, actually.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was shitfaced though.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Tathi's scry should be just about ready to cook off.&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay!&quot; Painting produced from Bag of Holding, handed to Sszeyl.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Please excuse me a while.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(Hmm. Lia, give Room No. 9 to Gnogglebolt?)

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Barbarus produces his. And you all get to see it IC for the first time.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh? Okay.&quot; :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mind if I follow?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Who decides to look? :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I do!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">PARDON *stomp* EXCUSE ME *cat yowl* I'M SORRY D: *weasel sounds*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Jeeze animal corner.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Who's Boddynock?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt returns from his room with his canvas.

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Dude!

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Watch the do!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, thomas, who is Tathi trying to scry this time?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I first thought it was a pony token

VAE:<font color="#000000">to piss people off with

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who do you think?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Just her dad again. I wanted to check on my sister.&quot;

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


 * Swallowtail glances over to Barbarus'.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Your MOM

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Uh...tell us how that goes, then.&quot;


 * Swallowtail hands over her portrait as well.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Great Your Mom rebuttal, or greatest Your Mom rebuttal?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I want to see what the fuck's going on in there...&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">using fortitude as a skill

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oooh, nize. Iz like mine!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom knocks on Tathi's door.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Barbarus is seated upon a throne of blackened bones. Most of his features are cast in shadow, especially on the left side of his body. But what is visible is his right eye, and one half of a vicious smile. Kneeling before him are desperately skinny individuals, looking pleading. Flanking him are two statues of mule-headed figures. The figure on Barbarus' right is solid gold, studded with gems, and it's figure hoards coins and foodstuffs. The figure on Barbarus' left is partially on fire, it seems. A demonic personage, horned and breathing smoke, hefting a notched axe as if to bring it down upon the kneeling figures. The catfolk holds an arrow with a silk ribbon for a shaft in his visible right hand.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Yes I know it's an innuendo shut up.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">The Third Horseman <font color="#A14D7F"> is the title on the back.

VAE:<font color="#000000">where is it

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Come in!&quot; Tathi calls.

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


 * Thomas Lazarus steps in.

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


 * Liatai SEARCHES. &gt;:|

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miron follows, not saying a word.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus pauses while looking at the dog.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">RAERARAEL WHERE ARE YOU. &gt;:|

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

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He is here and everywhere.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Mine iz de Fourth Horseman.&quot; :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Now and always.

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( He's on the world map. ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What is he doing in here?&quot; Tathi asks, narrowing her eyes at Miron.

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( On Yoriver. ^^; ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I intend to make one for our new friend, and Primera here. Perhaps being the first and second horsemen.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Gracias.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Bless you Hatari. =w=;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; ^^; &quot;He wanted to check too?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I sense something.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">TATHI GET AWAY FROM THAT WALL. D:

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">TOO LATE.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ha. If he thinks he can routinely insult myself and Aelian, and then make use of my magical services to spy on yet another member of my family he insults, he is even dumber than I take him for. Miron, go chase some false theory.&quot;

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom doesn't intervene in their business.

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor stomps off.


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs slightly. ^^; &quot; I'll let you know whatever important business we hear about.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right then. I'm ready to put the final incantations through.&quot; She says, and also closes the window's blinds..


 * Edaric starts playing his lute. &#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 10 + 17 = 27&#160;  &#187; Strum~

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">Don't worry, you still have me. :3 Le head on lap.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Then, Tathi-double-takes. &quot;Oh wait no they're right outside. Cancel the scry.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Passes through the kitchen &quot;What the hell are you looking at.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">But.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">DAMMIT DAD GET SOME PANTS ON.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">The physical structure of the building wouldn't-

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Brain exploded.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">door were there

TMG:<font color="#000000">He walked in, then turned around and walked out? :B

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Perhaps.&quot;


 * VAE running on sleeplack

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait, isn't it two floors

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tatthi finishes up the last portion of the scrying ritual, and the mirror starts to shimmer and swirl..

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Primera and I must go now.&quot;


 * VAE headdesk

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">All yours, DM. :3

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Addios.&quot;


 * VAE no understand anything by now


 * Dr. Hatari doesn't know what is happening. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Bai!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Silly kitty-men!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">FUCKING BUILDING HOW DO YOU WORK

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I thought somthing was staircase which wasn't staircase

RAM:<font color="#990000">Fucking magnets...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just stares flatly in the direction of the door Miron went through. &quot;And that, my friends, is the product of a dwarf and a gnome getting too friendly with each other.&quot;

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

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">you are getting nommed for that

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Weren't you just telling me earlier how 2 hours of sleep is fine? :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">As much as I disagree IC and maybe OOC, that was win

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hatari, when working, yes

VAE:<font color="#000000">but.. doing calculations or CAD, and trying to RP sensibly is different

VAE:<font color="#000000">especially since there isn't vocaloids or soviet pop pounding at my eardrums

VAE:<font color="#000000">Sleep is complicated

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">It seems to be a rainy day in Yoriver today. Your scry catches two hooded figures under a tarp-tent, looking over a town map. &quot;... the attacks seem to be stemming from around here. If we wait there, we should be able to catch some hellcats in the twilight or at dawn...&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I have been elected to represent our group on how we've been creepy lately. =w=;&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Meaning I lost at rock paper scissors.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smirks, and leans back, whispering to Tom.. &quot;Think I should stop scaring the bajeezus out of my dad?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hehe... seriously though Hord Barbarus didn't do anything to you did he?&quot; =w=;;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">|3 &quot;...&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shakes his head. ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo Hord!&quot; Wave wave wave!

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He put us through some hellish training if that's what you mean.&quot;


 * Edaric keeps playing... Hord, if you would make a Will save? &#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 7 + 17 = 24&#160;  &#187; Perform for lulz.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She giggles quietly. &quot;Okay, if you insist!&quot; She says, and then leans back towards the mirror.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 10 + 2 = 12&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187;

Tathi: <font color="#0000FF">&quot;HI DAD!&quot; 


 * Thomas Lazarus grimaces.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Nomming Raerael

VAE:<font color="#000000">for nature documentary

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot; ! &quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;if we wait iwth the camera, we should be able to see some hellcats in their natural habitat.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;FFF--&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; ... Dad?&quot; &gt;|I


 * Thomas Lazarus is choking back his amusement. &quot;...&quot;

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">KR-- fizzle fizzle crackle sputter... &quot;Tathi, love, stop doing that.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We were put through a bunch of excercises to improve teamwork. Things like jumping off a cliff with the others holding a net at the bottom, and not knowing if they were in the right spot to catch you.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">... :O

Edaric:<font color="#000000">o_o;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Going over a waterfall in a barrel with someone, I was lucky and got Boddyknock.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Guess what I just found!

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">Boddynock* :B

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">There's a fit of giggling, and then she says, &quot;I'm sorry, papa, but it's just a fit of fun to finally get the jump on you for once! You remember the days when I had my first spellbook!&quot;

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

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Forming a human ladder, when Ceowulf was on the bottom.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">In the meantime, the apparently utterly confused and pisses-off inquisitor is cooling his head outside

Hord: <font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He's not all that strong.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, as usual for him, presses his hand o his face. &quot;That cat.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">A significantly less amused-looking person glowers from under the edge of her hood.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Wildreness survival, etcera.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Does that make us creepy? D:&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..That's adorable and everything, but there are invisible flying demons and bullshit around here looking for us.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Can I just quickly say OOC

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds more like you've been through military boot camp than anything...&quot; ^^; &quot;Why?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Invisible flying demons is a D&amp;D meme I am overjoyed to have occasion to restate? *bricked*

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

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh, how did he phrase it.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We needed to trust each other implicitly?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; &quot;... Sorry.&quot; ^^;;;; &quot;How are things going for you two?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I'm not sure I approve of the cat's methods, but hey, as long as you volunteered...&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Which could only be made through either the fires of combat, or enduring harsh training, and he didn't want to genuinely risk our lives with our teamwork so ba.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">bad*

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sounds like the fiends are fighting back.. How's the battle been?&quot;

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

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;If anything, they've started hiding even more.&quot; :|

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've learned a lot about demons since you sent me up here, Tommy.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;For example..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What? They're retreating!? That's no fair!&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Did you know almost every fucking kind can teleport whenever they feel like it?&quot; &gt;:|

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

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;Something's got them in a tizzy all right, and they're ducking down in darkness and trying to avoid outsiders like us.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Wand of Dimensional Anchor! Wand of Dimensional Anchor!

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So yeah.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hrm.. You mean possibly another contender, be they good or bad?&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We know eachother as well as I know all our Cousins back home. ^^;&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Doesn't quite explain the whole... hive-mind thing, though.&quot; :B

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We can finish each other's sentences if we're on the same topic.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's possible that's 'our' end working to find them out.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shrugs.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I spoke with commander Ashmore of the Castleton branch Leaden Mace Society not long ago. The highest echelons of the organization are mounting a full inquest on Yoriver.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;My expectation is, yes, their masters are going to suddenly be lowering their profiles.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">into, not on

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;Possibly. There have been a lot of high-collars about lately.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">you inquire into a situation

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">YOU CAN'T CORRECT MY ENGLISH I'M NATIVE. &gt;:O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I CAN ALSO SAY AIN'T.


 * Thomas Lazarus is bricked.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">YALL SHUT YER FACES.

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">'The common people are also starting to try to stay off the street more often. It's getting harder to wheedle any information out of them; they're afraid they'll get torn up by the 'night angels,' they call them.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs a bit. &quot;..It could be a while.. I'm not sure. Please stay safe, you two.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">In the meantime, Miron pops into the city archives, with the aim to find if there's any good map of the Yoriver county that'd shed light into the land conflict issue.


 * Tomiko Lazarus grins with a suddenly very evil look. &quot;Oh, yeah..&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">What sort of a roll would that be

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yes, please.. And atar? Just.. how many Mace members have you come across? Victims and enemies alike?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Guess what I got?&quot; She reaches aside and displays an archaic, black blade with a serrated edge.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Knowledge (geography) with a +2 bonus.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What is that thing, Tomiko??&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 18 + 5 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Untrained geography with a bonus


 * Thomas Lazarus just frowns.

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;How many, how many...&quot; The elf sits back on his heels a little and huffs, thinking.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi glances back at Thomas. &quot;Really, it's not just to irk Miron. You need at least a guess to compare the reports to. If they say no casualties.. Well.. you know you have a serious problem.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A fallen valkyrie's blade? An old angel? A soldier from the wars that raged at the dawn of time? I dunno! I'll ask some historical genius to I.D. it for me. But I pulled it off of a dead winged woman who tried to shank your old man in the dark.&quot; &gt;:3


 * Thomas Lazarus disapproves. &gt;|

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;At least fifteen. Seven on the devils' side, eight victims of the devils.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Somewhere far away, Miron's eyebrows twitch

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi actually blanches. &quot;Fifteen!? I was expecting something like three.. maybe six, tops!&quot;

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


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Tathi and frowns.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">You know

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..If you have to needle Miron with this -- which you don't -- but if you think you do..&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's a good thing Miron stormed off

VAE:<font color="#000000">This wouldn't have ended well

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Could you please not walk into a hostel and spout off with pride the number of dead law-enforcers we've heard about.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The new people don't even know about this.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">No it wouldn't have.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And get rid of that sword, it's unholy! Literally!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She sighs. &quot;I'm sorry Thomas.. I was doing it to jab at Miron, who, despite all his claims of trying to find the truth hides it with his other hand with every word. He's so two-faced it drives me insane.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Fuck you, this is an amazing trophy!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:|

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:|

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Burning leaves, this is bad.. Daddy, did you happen to pick up their badges? Or note their marks? Was there any chance of telling who they were, maybe?&quot; She asks, glancing to Thomas. &quot;I don't suppose Leaden Mace members carry some kind of personnel identifcation??&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Tathi. &quot;Not as any kind of strict protocol, no.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not here, anyways.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hells.. and knowing fiends, they likely mangled the bodies..&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've been picking badges for your grumbly Mace friend.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..For all the good it'll do us. You can have them when you get here. I'm not walking into an office now.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, thank you! Could you possibly show them off for Thomas here?&quot;


 * Raerarael sighs. &quot;Nothing aside from their badges. Most of the victims were inquisitors. Some were archivists. The ones on the devils' sides were mostly archivists with a few inquisitors. If I'm reading the badges right. Which one is this?&quot; He rummages into a pocket and holds an inquisitors' badge toward the sensor.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Inquisitor's badge. They're.. pretty simple insignias.&quot; He sighs a bit.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I would reference the actual insignias but I forget the minutia and didn't save VAE's sketch. XP

VAE:<font color="#000000">I cna

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;This one was in that bone pit you saw last time you scried on us.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Thomas, what was Miron going on about the leaden mace actually tricking fiends into working for them? Malevokers or something?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dm510/leadenmace.jpg

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

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've been keeping them in a pouch I could toss in a hurry. I really do not want to get arrested by someone and have this hanging on my belt.. &quot; =w=;

VAE:<font color="#000000">and yes, I do suck at CGI


 * Tomiko Lazarus opens a slightly bloody draw-string pouch and pulls forth a number of mace badges.

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's her gym badges

VAE:<font color="#000000">she defeated their pokemon

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">DAMMIT SHUTUP ASH.

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Though, there is one I'm not familiar with here. What's this one?&quot; He holds up an analyst's badge. &quot;This was on the devil-summoner we fought just last night, along with a death warrant from the count's offices for a number of travellers who were staying here at inns.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Oddly enough, they were all fire and poison types

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I like how the hands have random numbers of fingers. *SMOTE*

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah.. well, the bit wouldn't be very detailed, anyways

VAE:<font color="#000000">they are cast, then the design is etched

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">one day Imma gonna make one

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's a mid-level analyst. ... It's strange that you would even be crossing them.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They're non-combatants. Or should be.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... They could be possessed.&quot; He frowns deeply.

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

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Gotta catch 'em all. *BRICKED*


 * Raerarael swears quietly in Elven. &quot;Didn't even think of that. How can we tell?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">This is so hillariously wrong


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs and rubs his forehead. &quot;Without magic, or a whole lot of investigation?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's it. I'm nomming the fuck of all four of you

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You can't. It's sort of ... a really big deal.&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So...uh.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom: They might be possessed&quot; &quot;Raerael: Oh fuck, you tell me that now?&quot;

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I don't suppose any of you know what Barbarus does for his doctors, eh?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">They dun goof'd

TMG:<font color="#000000">isn't there a Detect Possession spell? &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">consequences will never be the same

TMG:<font color="#000000">or something to that effect?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">If there is, news to me.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Atara would know how..&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">because Miron will fucking get the cyberpolice on their ass

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">There's detect Evil.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...'for' his doctors?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And due to how auras work, that's basically detect possession.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hlis and Elrik will never admit it, but they worry for him...coming back alll beat up like that. Sometimes Primera too.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Unless the target is like level 15 and evil.

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh yeaaah.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Thats what he says. He's sick, and he has to have medical treatment.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">If the aura is stronger than a mortal's should be, possession.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;But his doctors give him jobs to do.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">And that's where amulets of nondetection enter the fray. :\

TMG:<font color="#000000">Good point. better bring that up IC. :.

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll send to her tonight.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If that's the case, this is much more serious than I realized. You two need to be very careful. ... Especially you, sis.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;How is she, by the way? Heck, I should probably try scrying on her..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;And Tomiko? I don't mean to pry but yes.. try to avoid touching that weapon as much as possible until you get a chance to have it cleansed. It's evil, right down to the metal it's made out of.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Please keep an eye on her when she sleeps. It's..&quot; He pauses and considers how to phrase this. &quot;..dangerous when you sleep. You should be alright while trancing sir. Or as alright as anyone ever gets in that situation..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm having serious second thoughts about this.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I half want to teleport up there right now.&quot; :|

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is there anything else we can do to try to protect ourselves? We're neck-deep in hellspawn almost every day.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Quit fretting and tell me exactly what you're trying to say.&quot; She demands sternly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I mean mortals are more susceptable to possession in their sleep.&quot; He frowns and pauses. &quot;... Maybe. I doubt they're just laying around somewhere, but you could get a ward against evil. On an amulet, perhaps. Something permanent. It'll completely protect you from possession.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus glances to Rae a bit uncertainly.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Unless the plot says Haha-No.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Honestly.. I'd look at acquiring the services of a Guard of the People.. oh.. that doesn't sound right. Dad, what is it in common?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Lawyer.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">*bricked all of the times*


 * Dr. Hatari reloads.

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;Evil-protection amulets and potions have been making the rounds in the black markets. Tomiko, what say you we try to snag some before we stake out the hellcats? I've got plenty of magic detection left in me today, we should be able to avoid shams.&quot;

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

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;Paladin, Tathi.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right! I knew it was p-something.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Without access to a ward or divine magic, I'm.. sorry. Don't rely on superstitious means to help you against true fiends. They do not care if you're on holy ground or wielding a symbol or carrying holy water. Don't count on anything less than strong and tangible divine protection to stop them.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... you know... A random thought occurs to me.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Consecrate.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You can't go wrong with it.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Consecrate don't do shit against devils, yo. *bricked*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Unless you're a zombie.


 * Thomas Lazarus debunks all the vampire myths.

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

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Fine.. okay.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One of Altonor's abilities as a paladin of freedom is immunity to compulsion of any kind. Which probably includes possession. That aura replaces the aura of courage ability.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aura of Resolve (Su): Beginning at 3rd level, a paladin of freedom is immune to compulsion effects. Each ally within 10 feet of him gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against compulsion effects. This ability otherwise functions identically to the paladin's aura of courage class feature.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And yet...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Possessed Tomiko would be an awesome raid boss. Why do I keep thinking this.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">GET OUT OF MY HEAD LIA.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">They're still likely to try to blow each other up next time they meet. XD

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">*snrk!*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Now you're giving me ideas! XP

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">WELL GOOD JOB HATARI.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">NOW WE HAVE TO KILL TOMIKO.

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

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">WE NEED TO POWER-LEVEL.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I AM SO PEEKING AT YOUR CHARACTER SHEET IN DORF. :|

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">GUISE.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">SRSLY.

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

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe Atara knows a paladin who's free. I'll ask her when I send.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">She might well be. I mean, the way things look, Miron will probably end up at Raerael's neck at some point

VAE:<font color="#000000">Might die in the process, too, but such is life.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh what an interesting triangle this is.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">vs tomiko? WE'd need like..3 clerics on the tank full time

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; ..Well.. thanks for the warning.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Stay sharp, you too. Be safe. And dad? I promise to whisper next time.&quot; :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Altonor and Raerarael - explosions. Miron and Raerarael - throat-snapping. Miron and Altonor - HAET.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I told her to whisper this time.&quot; &gt;:|


 * Thomas Lazarus tattles.

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;Try normal volume.&quot; :P

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Then the scorching rays start flying.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Talfeera, hyu vanna see de gifts Hy got hyu now?&quot; :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oops, work's calling. Gotta go.&quot;

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I so want to see that three-side fight one day

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;And thank you. We'll keep our eyes open.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You did not! I asked you if I should stop and you shook your head!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And everyone else in the middle going =w=;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Tomiko, put your brother in a headlock for me, would you?&quot; &gt;:3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's a common gesture for 'no'!&quot; &gt;:O

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">did Miron's roll find out anything?

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yeah! You should I shouldn't stop!&quot; &gt;:P

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'll leave that one to you. My hands are full.&quot; =w=

VAE:<font color="#000000">was a 22 or 23 or somesuch

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The county of Yoriver does border an elven grove.


 * Thomas Lazarus scoffs.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hm, I doubt anythign specific about the borders

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, Daddy! I have a Great House now. I'm hoping to get a project going to make a new home for our people! If you hear about SEEDS, sign on!&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd wants a go at tomiko someday. one on one. haha. maybe when were higher level so I've got enough hit points to survive one of ther hits heh

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Also, I met this aboleth and we had a delightful little conversation about punching people's faces in in the most unimaginable horrible ways.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Shankfang for, &quot;lol fuck everything, my fiance is here. |D&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Missing these huge chunks of sessions is killing me. =3=

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ah. The dialogue. I guess that's as good as leveling off of anything else. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">last one was they might be possessed on your list
