Meany::V

VAE:.

* VAE mrowtg

Meany:I spy a new mountain range down south. :V

Meany:It got a name yet?

VAE:where?

* VAE sees nothing new

Meany:<font color="#660000">World Map.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Around Lissan Rook.

* VAE knows

VAE:<font color="#000000">. . . that's new?

Meany:<font color="#660000">As far as I know, yah.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Lissan Rook wasn't there before. :V

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">Ta.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Huh?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Lissan Rook's been there since the map was part of the campaign file. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">But no, the mountain range doesn't have a name yet. Ideas?

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">YoDoktor.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Hmm.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:I

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Rough night? &gt;: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yes. But.

* Meany gives Doktor hot chocolate.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I thought I set my alarm 10 minutes early.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not only did I like clockwork wake up at 10 AM and not fall back asleep

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh. :B Well, don't worry, we're still waiting on Techchores, I think.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But I set my alarm 12 hours and 10 minutes early. :I

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Let this revitalize you. If there's one thing Bethseda has been able to do, beyond any criticism, it's awesome music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KcZAjl_z-M

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... oh dear. ^^;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Huh. I actually wanted this just last night.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Good job Ghost. =3=

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

* Dr. Hatari saves.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">In about an hour and a half, I'll have to take a small break to go drop me mum off somewhere.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Dammit texan, don't speak british! Stop humuliatin' yerself! &gt;:O

TMG:<font color="#000000">Dammit texan, don't speak british! Stop humuliatin' yerself! &gt;:O

TMG:<font color="#000000">(whups, sorry, lag)

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">sorry about the last minute warning. With me mum, it's about as predictable as the weather down here. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Problem, old chap?

Meany:<font color="#660000">I say.

* TMG Chris Tucker-slaps ghostwish

Meany:<font color="#660000">Who's Chris Tucker? :B

GM:<font color="#000000">I don't know, either. o.o

TMG:<font color="#000000">ah, never seen the Rush Hour movies, I guess.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Neither do I.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Christ Tucker + Jackie Chan

GM:<font color="#000000">Anyway! Are we ready to roll? :D

TMG:<font color="#000000">They have whacky hijinks. :B

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Hold on, busy trying to peek into the forest. Here fey fey fey...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ohhh, that's who he is. :.

TMG:<font color="#000000">....I would suppose that's a 'no'. o.o

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Ow! Ow! Ow! Quiddit DM!

VAE:<font color="#000000">rush hour was fun

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

* VAE loves Jackie Chan movies

TMG:<font color="#000000">welcomeback meany

Meany:<font color="#660000">Who's Chris Tucker? :B

Meany:<font color="#660000">But yah, maptool froze again.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm a bigger fan of the Ahnold movies.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And not those good ones like End of Days or T2, either. The horrible campy ones.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Throwing circular saws at the heads of Cuban thugs.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I was quoting the beginning of this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTC628TKyag

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Speaking of which, I am finally getting around to watching the Die Hard movies. I will be prepared for Level 6 Edaric. *_*

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- Ack! Cat under blanket! Cat under blanket! XD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He does get his ass totally kicked in the course of being a badass regular mortal man.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So it may fit. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">This is true. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It was kind of refreshing to see an action movie where the hero doesn't have, say, just one or two tiny cuts and some dirt at the movie's end. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">I only just saw the first DIe Hard for the first time a few weeks ago myself. o.o

* Meany is in the club of never watched. |B

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay! Who's ready to go?

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">Pre-rolling init - &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 4 + 2 = 6&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 14 + 1 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Hello, what? o.o

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">DM just getting paperwork out of the way. =3= &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 6 + 3 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

* You roll to yourself: 1d20 =&gt; 18* You roll to yourself: 1d20 =&gt; 19Faerie:<font color="#006666">Should the rest of us pre-roll? :u

* VAE mroweth. Might be somewhat out... needs to pack up between playing

Meany: <font color="#660000">Yo.

Meany:<font color="#660000">He's fleeing the country!

Meany:<font color="#660000">The Federales are onto him!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:O How did you do that? Is that superscript? *_*

Meany:<font color="#660000">What?

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh. Nevermind. ^^;

Meany: <font color="#660000">Yeah.

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

Meany:<font color="#660000"> Yes.\

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's just smalltext. I thought it was superscript, like the 2 in x^2.

Meany: <font color="#660000">Demonstrating the smalltext.

* Dr. Hatari is walking about getting awakened.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Quickly, Druids!

Meany:<font color="#660000">Cast Awaken on that Hatari!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">WHY HELLO THERE.

* Meany casts.

* VAE is indeed fleeing into his lawless country of origin :3

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 17 + 3 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

* VAE thinks he mentioned here the map that showed he's from mordor ?

Meany:<font color="#660000">Ah.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Right! Where were we... last session on Akellon... there was a surplus of adorable. x3

Meany:<font color="#660000">Brb.

GM:<font color="#000000">And some amusingly bungling secret agents who managed to actually accomplish what they set out to do. By asking politely to see the letter from the mysterious messenger bearing the mysterious symbol seen on a mysterious drow's mithral armor. How mysterious. I should find a thesaurus. :B

* TMG giggles

GM:<font color="#000000">The session closed last time with the captain asking if the Guardians would help supplement the ship's watch during this leg of the trip; the Deepfoot Swamps are notorious for raiding ships with valuable cargo, and adventurers' goods most certainly are valuable cargo.

GM:<font color="#000000">So without any further ado... take it away! It's evening on Yondallon 4th, and the sun is sinking in the sky.

* Dr. Hatari cracks and crunches. =3=;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hokay, still same day as all this shenannigans (and craft check already rolled)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Breakfast lasagna in microwave.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Don't judge me.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">what session was that?

TMG:<font color="#000000">that was you, silly. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Breakfast... lasagna? Is this lasagna as in pasta meat and cheese, or some breakfast-food lasagna containing bacon and sausage and such? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE - That was Miron, Thomas, and Terri. x3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The former. Breakfast and supper become subjective when you're on Hatari hours and 10 PM is &quot;morning&quot; :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">At some point during the evening, as the sun goes down and after several hours of being strangely absent--Gnogglebolt is seen wandering around the ship. He has some new smudges of oil on his hands and face, but looks rather pleased with himself.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Good show. :9 *high-fives*

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hi Mr. Gnogglebolt!&quot; chirps a voice from the crow's nest as Terri waves down at the deck. :D

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">hello cocoa: http://senorgif.memebase.com/2011/12/10/funny-gifs-kitten-meets-trashcan/

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why hello there, miss Terri!&quot; Gnogglebolt looks up and calls. &quot;How are you doing?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus has kept a lazy eye on the deck happenings for a few hours, making idle chat here and there with Miron and crewmen, but largely just enjoying the open breeze.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh and there it beeps. brb

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Awesome! We're lookin' out for bandits!&quot; &gt;:3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... I almost wrote bards there. What the heck, brain. XD

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">We're looking out for bards. :3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">You're on the wrong level of the ship. =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right! Carry on then, miss!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks up and smirks faintly.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm-hmm!&quot; :D

TMG:<font color="#000000">(...I started playing Okami last night. Issun's theme won't get out of my head. -3- )

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..It's getting a little dark out. You want to consider coming down and getting back to the cabins anytime soon?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nuh-uh.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=w=; Unsurprised, Thomas folds his arms and lingers against the rigging.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can see reeeeeal far in the dark. I eat my carrots.&quot; =3=

* Terri nods sagely.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt chuckles. &quot;Gotta give her credit there, Thomas!&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Mm hm, and how many birds are in that tree over there, Terri?&quot; Aelian asks with a smug look.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well don't come complaining to me if you get eaten alive from mosquitos.&quot; |3

Terri:<font color="#000000">Rolling Spot...

Aelian: <font color="#ff">(( watch her get a 20. ))

* You roll to yourself: 1d20+12 =&gt; 13 + 12 = 25Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fourteen! But there's one on a nest, so I dunno how many babies there are.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">O.O;

Terri:<font color="#000000">:3

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">I totally saw the nest. I swear.

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">I didn't say it that either.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Do not question the Elros sense.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's Elros. He hears the unhearable. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He heard it before you thought it.

GM:<font color="#000000">Speaking of which, it's getting dark now. Prepare your light sources.

Elros:<font color="#006666">I hear to infinity. You should know this.

TMG:<font color="#000000">does the ship keep any torches lit?

GM:<font color="#000000">As a matter of fact, yes. I'm just setting those right now.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Coo'. :o

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian himself doesn't take a torch out. Best to be a sniper in the shadows.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron just takes out his everburning torch.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, for the moment, doesn't bother getting a torch or sunrod out either. Her elies on the boat's own lights, or a small candle.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">I'm downstairs, reading over my book. :&gt;

GM:<font color="#000000">Those who are on deck, please roll Spot checks.

* You roll to yourself: 1d20+5 =&gt; 12 + 5 = 17* You roll to yourself: 1d20+5 =&gt; 2 + 5 = 7Elros:<font color="#006666">Spot &#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 14 + 13 = 27&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Spotty? &#171; &#160;1d20 = 3&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Lost in my own thoughts. :B

Elros:<font color="#006666">&#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 14 + 13 = 27&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187; listen too, why not.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Stupid windows resizing. :|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Spot: &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 2 + 1 = 3&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

* Dr. Hatari mistyped modifier. Doesn't think it'll matter. =w=;

You whisper to Faerie: Elros notices something unusual in the water... a mound of vegetation... with swimming arms. There are two of them, approaching the ship in the water, one at 21, 4 and one at 2, 6.

You whisper to Faerie: Aelian notices something unusual in the water... a mound of vegetation... with swimming arms. There are two of them, approaching the ship in the water, one at 21, 4 and one at 2, 6.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Results given.

TMG:<font color="#000000">As usual, I do believe we have been Elros'd. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE, you with us?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 14 + 5 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Spot

VAE:<font color="#000000">Somewhat, yes

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- OOPS. XD

Faerie whispers: Why did I get Aelian's whisper, too? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One moment, redistrubuting whispers. XD

You whisper to Ghostwish: Aelian notices something unusual in the water... a mound of vegetation... with swimming arms. There are two of them, approaching the ship in the water, one at 21, 4 and one at 2, 6.

You whisper to Faerie: Oops. XD

Faerie:<font color="#006666">xP

You whisper to VAE: Miron notices something unusual in the water... a mount of vegitation... with swimming arms. There are two of them, approaching the ship from the left and the right.

Unknown command: &quot;rollmw 1d20+12&quot;. Try /help for a list of commands.* You roll to yourself: 1d20+12 =&gt; 14 + 12 = 26Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;... What's that?&quot; :o

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the bloody hell.. there's somethning odd drowned over there.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus opens his eyes. &quot;..Hm?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian, standing in the crow's next, spots something.. swimming towards the boat!? &quot;Alarm!&quot; He shouts, quickling drawing out his bow and nocking an arrow. &quot;Two unknowns, coming from the east and west!&quot; Ooo, someone needs to teach this boy ship-speak.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look over there, brother!&quot;

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 8 + 3 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...pardon me, but does vegetation usually...swim?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, who had been leaning against the railing and simply taking in the sights of the night river, snapped out of his thoughts at the sudden shouting.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not only vegetation.. i think i see hands..&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;I'll take that as a no.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

* Thomas Lazarus furrows his brow and follows Miron's indication.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Well, far be it for this trip to be boring.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi jumps at the alarm, snapping her spellbook closed and heading for the deck.

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( durnit, locked. XD ))

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 13 + 6 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Worriedly, Gnogglebolt gets into his pack and pulls out...the much bigger than his blunderbuss tube-like device he made recently.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros draws, um...swords. Totally best plan for an enemy in the water.

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Shamblers!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus remains mute for the time being, and stares pensively at the water's surface.

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;'''We got shamblers! Fighters on deck!'''&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Fire a broadside! Aye aye, cap'n!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...sorry. x3

Plant Beast 2:<font color="#000000">That's about when two sopping, dripping mounds of rotting vegetation start to... climb out of the river.

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor appears surprised, never having seen vegetation this agile

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">MIRON, WHERE WERE YOU? YOU DIDN'T SUSPECT THE PLANTS. THE PLAAANTS!

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Knowledge nature, I am suspecting?

Plant Beast 1:<font color="#000000">Roll initiative! And yes.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Init &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 5 + 3 = 8&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187;. I have a feeling we're about to need this.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well.. he suspected it to be a floater, from some murder.. drow-initiated for sure :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gears and guts!&quot; Gnoggleolt cries out as one starts clambering over the railing he was just at.

Aelian: <font color="#ff">(( okay this is bad.. I can't load the cold war file. :O ))

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 10 + 5 = 15&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; initiative!

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 17 + 7 = 24&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; knowledge nature!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+floor((dexterity-10)/2) = 9 + floor((19 - 10) / 2) = 13&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; initiative!

Elros:<font color="#006666">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187; Knowlege-Nature, to assist Aelian.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+0 = 1 + 0 = 1&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Initiative

Aelian: <font color="#ff">(( I don't believe you can assist reactive knowledge checks. ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron.. truly isn't at home dealing with these.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">'nit! &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 16 + 1 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

You whisper to Ghostwish: These creatures are known as shambling mounds, ambulatory piles of intelligent walking plant matter. They're normally found in swamps... what are they doing out in open water? Regardless, there are stories about them shrugging off even full-on lightning strikes.

You whisper to Faerie: These creatures are known as shambling mounds, ambulatory piles of intelligent walking plant matter. They're normally found in swamps... what are they doing out in open water?

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Lovely, so we truely are in the swamps! Don't even bother with lightning against these creatures!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus pivots his face half-ways behind himself and remarks to Miron. &quot;Help Gnogglebolt and the others, brother. I think I can handle this one.&quot; He faces it fully. &quot;... It'll be a good chance to test some new magic.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Aw darnit. Gnogglebolt stops fubling for a sparkstone and starts reaching for something else.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*fumbling

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;I would not have considered this to be much of a swamp...but that's for later, I suppose.&quot;

Aelian: <font color="#ff">(( okay crap. What does it mean when maptools says 'cannot determine campaign file format; not loaded'? ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I... don't know. o.o;

* VAE haz no idea either

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Never heard of it.

VAE:<font color="#000000">also why is liatai talking to herself?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meany, you with us?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Talking to myself? ^^;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ghost; uh....hrm. I hope you have backups. &gt;.&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Aelian is oyur NPC!?

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghost commandeered him. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">so.. you were talking to yourself

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

* VAE took the sloow train today

Meany:<font color="#660000">x-x

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Wow. Are you like, colorblind? XD

Meany:<font color="#660000">I was lied to.

Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.Meany:<font color="#660000">Forced to make entire family tea and popcorn, because apparently I'm the only one who can.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh. o.o

Meany:<font color="#660000">We're in combat?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hang on, Hatari. Yes, we are. Roll init. :3

Aelian: <font color="#ff">(( I have no backups. -.- ))

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meany? Init, please?

Aelian: <font color="#ff">(( greeeeat. It's a java problem. Ugh. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What level is Elros?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Let's see.. you should have the BaB for two attacks, and you atleast have two weapon fighting. So that's three. Unless you took greater two weapon fighting at level 6. Or got it from Ranger style progression.

TMG:<font color="#000000">What is your strength bonus, and what are the modifiers on your two swords? And are they longswords or shortswords?

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;SWEET MOTHER OF-&quot; But her wand speaks for her!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;No, Dragon, I don't think it wants your horde.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( now what's our reactionary knowledge check? ))

Black-Winged Plant Beast:<font color="#000000">Arcana, or Nature.

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( :B Sorry. ))

Black-Winged Plant Beast:<font color="#000000">The creature before you resembles the plant beasts you fought earlier in general shape... but there are a number of features that the others lacked. For one, the leaves covering the creature have a distinctly hard, leathery quality to them, like thick leafweave armor. Second, its maw seems to be dripping something vile and sickly green. Third, there is a pair of immense black-scaled wings sprouting from its back, covered in viny lines of veins and spots of thick moss.

You whisper to Ghostwish: Aelian recognizes it as being a shambling mound... but off.

You whisper to Ghostwish: Tathi knows black dragon ancestry when she sees it. Better not hit it with acid, and beware its breath.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It's.. like the others.. but just so wrong.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 14 + 17 = 31&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge (arcana) again

You whisper to Meany: Sszeyl knows black dragon ancestry when he sees it. Better not hit it with acid, and beware its breath.

You whisper to VAE: Miron knows black dragon ancestry when he sees it. Better not hit it with acid, and beware its breath.

Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi grimaces. &quot;That would be because some sick black dragon got kinky with a shambler, and made THAT. Don't bother with acid, and ware it's breath!&quot;

* Edaric falters in his playing for a moment with a look of disgust.

* Thomas Lazarus narrows his eyes. Mysterious black winged beast? Blathering on about wanting incoherent treasures? Approaching the kids? THOMAS SMASH! &gt;8O

* Sszeyl holds his forehead a bit.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The templar pulls out the proverbial Big Guns of holy empowerment. He lowers his head for a split second and grips the symbol around his neck, intoning a whispered plea. A bright blue flash envelopes Thomas, and leaves him wreathed in whispy blue flames. He quickly returns to his senses and goes sprinting toward the flying horror. (Divine Power up. Done!)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Aelian, cover the children.&quot; He squints harshly at the airborne thing.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">The ninja fires a crossbow bolt! &#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 5 + 6 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d4 = 2&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Black-Winged Plant Beast:<font color="#000000">It seems to deflect right off the beast.

Elros has received initiative.Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He looks aside to Tathi and mutters desperately, &quot;What the heck is red gold? Rubies? We need to get it on deck before it goes for the crow's nest.&quot; D: Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros moves over towards the plant beast...though it's going to be a bit hard to hit with a sword if it's in the air. &quot;Anyone got something that can bring it down?&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">*DeeDee voice* Gnogglebolt USE YOUR MAGIC SCIENCE OR SOMETHIN' &gt;:O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi looks back, her expression serious. &quot;Blood.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi's right.. one of the ancestors of this scum was a black dragon. I hope both his instruments fell off afterwards.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Tch!!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't use any of your concoctions on it, Gnogglebolt.. it can probaby deal with them. Some lead would work fine.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Those tokens are totally cool, by the way. MM art?

Terri:<font color="#000000">Terri pulls Mateo down into the crow's nest, and the bird along with them, speaking hurried words in Draconic. A soft golden bubble appears around the kid -- Protection from Evil!

Miron has received initiative.Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nope, Google. And some color-adjusting in the GIMP. :3

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There's a man caught in the branches in the image -- the color-adjusted one looks silly, since it gave the man cyan skin and violet hair. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ah, so I now notice.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Beastiality.

Miron: <font color="#0">(( No. bestiality. As in, fucking animals ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, you seem to have done well. It's immune to electricity and acid, resists fire, and can fly, but it doesn't have any damage reduction.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This isn't all that different from the moulds we put down, just don't try to zap it and dissolve it... and Tathi, keep the fireworks for later, if you can.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Everyone gets +2 to hit

Miron:<font color="#000000">Thus is the power of Dark Knowledge succeeding over 25

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But you can hold the spell atleast.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Can i retcon the silly?

* VAE is a bit unfocused today, due to the whole mess

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You may. x3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anyways for a more rational course of action

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's your fault anyways XD it was about US foreign ministry paying some &quot;watchdog' organisation to report &quot;election frauds&quot; in russia.. i.e. fake reports of it

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We Americans have it well ingrained into our cultural beliefs that all Russians, ever, are 100% evil and sound like Boris Bedinov. Fact.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Wondering why he attempted to leap up and slap the beast in a quickly fading memory of a stupid branching universe, Miron instead prays to his patron deity. &quot;Saint Cuthbert, you who hears of all wrongdoings, grant me the voice of Cudgel that Never Forgets.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hm. DM, is the beast prone, or did it impact dizzily upright?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Dizzily upright.

* Thomas Lazarus looks up at the crows nest and sighs lightly.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">The Drow takes a few breaths to calm down...

TMG:<font color="#000000">brb

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You two. Come on. It's late anyways. Get your butts down belowdeck before a dragon attacks the ship. It's not safe anymore. Okay?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Then promptly vomits upon Edaric's shoes.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Gracious.. anything else?&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 16 + 6 = 22&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Reflex save... =w=;;;;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I thought the cave dwellers had stronger stomach...&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay. C'mon, Mateo.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus approaches tenetively and gives Sszeyl's shoulder a few gentle pats. o_o;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What's wrong?&quot;

* Sszeyl mutters.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;The Dragon was running through how relations with a shambler and a black dragon would even work. On top of the smell, and the boat moving so much....&quot; =w=

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

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

* Jack Selkirk picks up his son and takes him into the captain's cabin.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Vargie: What is this I don't even-

TMG:<font color="#000000">It's just dragon maaaaagic. :B

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Remind me to not stand immediately adjacent to Sszeyl.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sszeyl? Never speak of such a topic again. Ever.&quot; Tathi says, sticking her tongue out in disgust.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas stoops slightly and prods Gnogglebolt with a glowing fingertip. Last HP healed~

* Stanley Selkirk waits until Mateo is out of sight -- then actually -- lowers his voice. &quot;What the flying fuck was that?! We've had one shambler before -- one! And that's when we were docked beside the swamp -- they don't leave!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks to Stanly. He shrugs.

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;And dragonblood no less!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;From my thinking...a Black Dragon's moved into that swamp. =3=;&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;And is pushing these things out, or using them as labor.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, thank you.&quot; Gnogglebolt says to Thomas.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But, we've handled much worse than those beasts before. You were probably lucky to have us with you.&quot; He rubs his chin.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Brother Miron?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And...hrm. This is indeed some strange happenings.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Maybe we should use Sendings to the local harbormasters and Mace branches to give them an advisory about this.&quot; o_o;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps something to look into on our way back, when we're not pressed with other matters?&quot;

Selda Griswold:<font color="#000000">&quot;There've always been dragons in Deepfoot. Not often they outright raid a ship, though -- and with shamblers!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed.. .this could be grave danger to any ship that lacks a ... military contingent on it.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">lia..did a day pass since the last session's casting?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He nods, and finally cleans off his blade and sheathes it.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;The indications are.. disturbing. But it means there might be a black dragon in the swamp.&quot;

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;She's right. Most little ships like us don't have to worry about them.&quot;

* VAE wonders whether miron gets send again

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Belowdecks, the drow goes!

VAE:<font color="#000000">i mean, when he used it on tom

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nope, it's still the same day.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">the light sources mentioned earlier threw me off

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros puts his blades away as well. &quot;Have there been any other incidents like this recently? Or any ships that have gone missing around here?&quot;

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;They go after big ships. Ships with gold. Trade goods.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus raises a brow.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And here we can see why nothing good comes from bloody dragons, too.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And that 'red gold' thing it was repeating. That was so strange.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">It was a threesome.. foursome

VAE:<font color="#000000">Red, gold black dragons and a mound

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I think I would rather my monsters just be mute.&quot;

Selda Griswold:<font color="#000000">&quot;Stan, I'm gonna go tell Cob and Connor the fighting's over.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus frowns up at the night sky. &quot;...&quot;

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;... you wouldn't be carrying anything a dragon would be interested in... would you?&quot; Stanley looks over your group suspiciously.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm gonna sit on deck for a while longer.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">=3=

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't bloody care anymore, as long as the battle goes this well.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Did Stanly not notice the gold dragon scale the drow is wearing?

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">stanley*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Not that we're aware of, unless...&quot; Gnogglebolt's gaze drifts to Sszeyl.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hey, Ed.&quot;

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">That doesn't mean anything, it could be something you bought at the marketplace. =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Before he catches himself and looks somewhere else, hoping no one noticed.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Sszeyl is below decks.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Make sure Terri's not too shook up, would you kindly?&quot;

* Edaric nods.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He walks to the bow of the ship and stares off at the shores.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian is still up top, looking all around.

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">... They're silent. &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Wisdom check...

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">... that tends to mean yes. &gt;_&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Uh-oh. I think our fare might have just, uh, went up. :B

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros goes back to his perch beside the base of the crow's nest. Maybe he can still get a little bit of rest.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Wonderful. This wand still isn't exhausted. Let me know if any more freaky willies show up.&quot;

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look, if you are carrying something a dragon's interested in, come on out and say it so we're prepared next time.&quot; &gt;:\

* Thomas Lazarus looks over his shoulder with a look of faint annoyance.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uhh...&quot; Gnogglebolt fidgets and averts his gaze from Stanley, notcing he's now quite alone as everyone else went belowdecks.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We've never been attacked by dragon minions before, if that's what you mean. This is new to us, too.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He stops fidgeting and stands up straighter, and heads belowdecks too.

Miron:<font color="#000000">So does the inquisitor, after a while more on fresh air.

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">... your silence and aversion tells volumes. &gt;.&gt;

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, whups, Thomas didn't go belowdecks :B

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;We are adventurers. Expensive equipment and all that.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">For a while, he fidgets with something in his room, then he returns upwards.

* Thomas Lazarus sighs deeply and folds his arms.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">For once, Gnogglebolt tries to remain utterly silent and lets Thomas handle this one.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt can't come up with any good explanations. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Great. Are we going to be getting strings of monster attacks all the way to Resca..?</small.>

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He seems to be acting as though Stan has gotten enough addressing for now. He's on lookout.

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why do I suspect this has to do with the .. Sszeyl once again?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; The 'D' word. I didn't expect this at all.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Sorry, Drow. We have bigger uses for the D word.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, more of them this time. All added to the fact that that stupid letter may be furthering a drow conspiracy.&quot; *sighs*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We'll see.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everything's a drow conspiracy to you, Miron. Gnogglebolt snaps, loud enough for Stanley to hear.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everything's a drow conspiracy to you, Miron. &quot;Gnogglebolt snaps, loud enough for Stanley to hear.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">There's not much left on Thomas' mind. Not that he's going to dare to speak, anyways. He'll be lingering on deck for a few more hours before heading down, finally content that things are safe for now, and retire for the day.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you bloody surprised? You don't know half of what I found out ..&quot;

* Sszeyl is making a small bit of noise, not enough to reqire immediate investigation, possibly just getting frustrated with a picture. =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, knowing that Stanley has to be told something and it seems Thomas isn't taking care of it after all, wanders over to the crewman. &quot;We really don't know what that was about. We have nothing on us that we're aware of that some halfbreed mutant would be interested in--at least, no more than usual like valuable baubles and things. And from the talk, it does seem as just poor timing; a particularly vile black dragon may have onl just moved into the area.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We will, of course, continue to aid with the protection of this ship.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just in case there's anything else

* Thomas Lazarus half-glances back at Gnogglebolt. His face is pretty melancholy, so it's hard to tell, but he might be looking with approval.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Diplomacy check with more talk to get Stanley in a more calmed down and less suspicious mood?

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">Lia's afk.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He keeps rolling 19's D: Meany:<font color="#660000">He's detecting what you're trying to seque the conversation out of.

Meany:<font color="#660000">[Don't know if I used that word correctly, seque.]

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Whoah. You used square brackets.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sighs. &quot;We'll talk to the captain, then.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He walks over to the railing. &quot;Hey Thomas, why don't we go down belowdecks and check on Terri ourselves?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He does give Thomas a pointed look.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; He glances back with an argument armed. But he catches on.

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

Swoop:<font color="#000000">The giant eagle eyes Aelian curiously. :v

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks for an empty room, still having not figured out who goes where yet

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi looks up. &quot;Oh. About to check on Terri too?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian tilts his head a bit. &quot;Now where did an eagle as massive as you come from?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah...yes, actually.&quot;

Swoop:<font color="#000000">Squawk. I was beside you the whole battle, you didn't notice? :v

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smiles, and knocks on Terri's door a little.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry, still don't know who's in which rooms.&quot; Gnogglebolt says as he knocks on and opens each door in sequence.

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( I believe you mean :^ ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Er, cracks open just to peek inside, if there's no answer

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's an open beak. :P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And he notes that cabin 1 is indeed empty.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Whoa. Suddenly, prettySszeyl. O_o

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;''

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The Demon Painter?

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Yep.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well of -course- I noticed. I had to resist harvesting a few of your feathers.. Speaking of which..&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">The only drow I could find with natrually green eyes, and plain white hair.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Uup. The ranger is inching closer to the bird. *_*

Swoop:<font color="#000000">Touch 'em and die, prettyboy redhead. &gt;:V

Hakutaku:<font color="#FF0000">Where did you get so much hair all of a sudden? :o

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Undid my braid.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm...though, if Terri's already being tended to, I'm just going to go over my device. Hey Thomas, I want to show you something cool with it.&quot; He gestures into cabin 1

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Pinned it around the rest of my head with barrets.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll check on Terri in a minute, when she's not already occupied.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">A bard answers Terri's door. &quot;?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus shrugs to Tathi and, apparently, Edaric. ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Edaric? Were you checking on Tathi too?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He shuts the door behind him and shakes his head with a small smile. There is nowhere to find privacy on a ship.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and now, the drow is painting Dragon/shambling mound porn

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">When Thomas comes in and closes the door, Gnogglebolt lowers his voice and talks in a somewhat exhausted whisper. The others might hear, but that's okay.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Its been done. *brick'd*

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Aelian, is everything alright up there?&quot;

* Edaric nods. &quot;Yeah. She's more worried about that other kid than anything.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Afk. :v ))

* Thomas Lazarus sits on someone elses bed -- whose, he has no idea -- and simply looks at Gnogglebolt attentively.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Stanley's right. The little boy's life was in danger there. We're going to have to tell the captain something, I will not have a boy's life on my concience.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;One second... pulling a Tathi..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know we can't tell him everything, least of all Sszeyl's condition.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Here birdy birdy...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But I'm hoping you have some ideas.&quot;

Swoop:<font color="#000000">&gt;:^

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm...not too good at this. As has been demonstrated before.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Dangit how can you hop so fast!?

Swoop:<font color="#000000">Awk awk.

* Thomas Lazarus sighs lightly. &quot;Well.. it's true. I didn't want them up there to begin with for exactly the reasons that we saw.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not that I ever imagined we would have some.. dragon-mutant attacking the crow's nest.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 20 + 4 = 24&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; slieght of hand!

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">... holy mackeral. XD

Swoop:<font color="#000000">Awk?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm a negotiator, and I know how to bend tales a little, but I'm not much of a liar or just making something up.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I don't think any of us were expecting that.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus closes his eyes and holds his hands aside.

Swoop:<font color="#000000">Mackerel? I like mackerel. &gt;''

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">You're not sure how... but Aelian's got a whole damn fistful of your feathers now. He looks -incredibly- pleased with himself. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;There's not much of a lie to tell. The fact is, at this point, we don't know what's going on. We're leaping to likely conclusions.&quot;

Swoop:<font color="#000000">-- AWK &gt;:V

Swoop:<font color="#000000">Peck peck peck!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know, that makes it all the more muddled.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;ACK!&quot; And anyone watching is guest to the rather unusual sight of an elf and eagle circling like madmen in the crow's nest.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It could really have just been nothing. Or it could have been everything...I just don't know. We'll surely have to tell the captain this bit, of course.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But how much of the possibilities can we tell him? I need you for that, Thomas.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Terri, doing allright after your first exposure to combat?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus offers a sad smile.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... About before ... please understand.&quot;

* Terri nods. &quot;Mm-hmm. I've seen fightin'. Is Mateo okay?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe...maybe we can just say that Sszeyl's amulet is particularly unique and valuable, and various things have an interest in it? That's one possibility that may actually be very close to the truth without putting anyone in further danger if it is the reason.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...just don't do anything that would make Tathi want to burn the remaining occupants of the ship, alright?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I trust you, Gnogglebolt. You are a good person, and a smart person. I only ... really wanted to censure ... that instance of the truth because of who we were dealing with. I assume you could not have known that the likely course of action of Commander Ashmore might've been to have Sszeyl incarcerated or executed.&quot;

Scarlet:<font color="#000000">Hi rat! :D

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">zzzz. zzzzzz. HUH. Wha- =O_O= Hiss! Sputter! Squeak! Back you fiend!

Scarlet:<font color="#000000">Bat bat. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We should be careful not to let a rumor like that become public knowledge. But we don't need to fear explaining the amulet to our captain.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'm fairly certain he's fine. I was just a bit concerned over you. Combat is always a hectic thing.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">So lucky Miron is still on top deck

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt hangs his head and nods. &quot;Yeah...that's the part I have trouble with. I can't figure out which bit is okay and which isn't, and I end up blurting everything out...&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">ACK. Unpaw me, evil fiend! Annnnd the rat promptly scurries off the table, landing with a BOUNCE in the chair.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's way of putting it would likely just attract thieves.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, what do you think we should tell the captain?&quot;

Scarlet:<font color="#000000">Pounce! :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've never had a child of my own. Not biologically. But he is going to want to know why that just happened.&quot;

Scarlet:<font color="#000000">Bat bat bat bat bat :D

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Squeak! Squeak! Stop it!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But as for our ideas as to the possible reasons why...yes.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do you think?&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi seems to be overcome by giggles. &quot;I-I'm sorry.. that cat is tormenting Kor. And he's begging me to fireball half the ship.&quot;

* Edaric arches an eyebrow as Terri giggles. Swallowtail just seems a little lost.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sorry, something of a psychic connection wizards share with their familiars.&quot; She says, and then looks to Terri. &quot;Now I wonder, have you chosen a familiar yet?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uh-uh. Prob'ly not gonna have one.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Why so? They can be quite useful. If annoying. Like Kor.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mama says I get in enough trouble without havin' a small animal helpin'.&quot; x3

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">For anyone on the deck, Stan has an odd amused look on his face while repairing the deck with magic. :B

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">And Aelian continues his circular ranger retreating technique against Swoop.

* Thomas Lazarus closes his eyes, presents his palms again, and pauses. &quot;... We're going to Resca to meet the champion lady Salishea, have her reinforce a warding helping our friend's curse. We've never been attacked by 'dragon minions' before. ... That's the truth. There's not much to embellish. It will serve.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It may happen again. We will need to be on guard. No more games on deck.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It may not be nice to hear. But nice doesn't matter.&quot;

Swoop:<font color="#000000">Haha! Unfortunately for you, I am not a rook! I can attack on diagonals! &gt;:D

* Liatai is brick'd for the chess pun.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods. &quot;That does indeed sound like the best we can do without actually going into the nature of Sszeyl's 'curse'.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And, as you said, basically entirely the truth. That's always the best, to stick to the truth when you can. Avoids having to make up and maintain a lie. That's what I was always taught.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...probably why I'm not good at it when it's called for.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus parts his eyes. &quot;I totally trust captain Selkirk. But as a matter of protocol, we cannot tell anyone else about 'that part'. It can't get out.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of coruse! of course!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods simply.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was never suggestign we actually go into that. I was sure we would not, I agree completely.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just...wasn't sure how much besides that should be told.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros wonders to himself why exactly Aelian is fighting a bird.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway, now that I do believe we are on the same page, let us drop in on Terri just to check on her, and then shall we go speak with the captain and get this over with?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I would not assume that he'll let us get away with telling him anything less, after that.&quot; He offers a melancholy smile.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Pardon while I hastily draw a captain's cabin. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I will let the captain come to me if he is inclined to do so tonight.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;For now, I'm resuming watch until bed time. I don't trust the shore anymore.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wouldn't want to keep him waiting...besides, it might endear him to us if we go to him.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Perhaps in the morning, after everyone has caught their breath.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( I'm just suggesting this so was can day transition and Liatai can skip drawing a room. :B ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;As insane as Miron's paranoid ramblings get sometime, due to what little information we have, if this wasn't just an unlucky random attack and those 'shamblers' and that mutant came here for a purpose...&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Meany: Also, you will now picture Tathi in Sigmond Freud's suit, beard, and mustache sitting in a chair smoking and writing upon a notepad, while Terri is on a psychiatrist's couch.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I imagine some 10 pound grapefruit rat climbing you is a very alarming sensation.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Like a bowling ball going rappling. XD

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's equally likely it could have been here about the letter as it is about Sszeyl, due to us really not knowing anything. Should we mention the letter? Was it already mentioned?&quot;

Hakutaku:<i><font color="#660000">I've been waiting for you.

</i>Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi rolls her eyes. &quot;Remember what I said about familiars being obnoxious? Excuse me.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She heads over, and knocks on Edaric's door. &quot;Did you get him?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Ah...well, okay then.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then starts heading towards wherever the captain's cabin is, with Thomas in tow.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Before knocking on the door, Gnogglebolt whispers up to Thomas. &quot;''Mind if I do most of the talking? I may not always know what to say, but I do know how to say it.&quot;''

* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms into his robe sleeves.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I know what to say now.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;As you wish.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt knocks on the Captain's cabin.

* Dr. Hatari rereads three times. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">say that six times fast. XD

* Edaric yelps a little as the claws dig in, but at least he does crack the door open once the rat falls to allow for rat exodus. &quot;... Thanks.&quot; =w=;;;;;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Thanks tech.

* Meany had to read through the EXP part five times to determine who got EXP. =3=;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Whispering that stuff is not a good way to convey that.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Really Kor? Fleeing from a cat? You know you could probably kill a dozen cats, right?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello, captain Selkirk! Ah, might we have a word? Stanley suggested you'd want to talk about the strange attack...&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">The captain nods. &quot; Of course, come in. But keep it down, I only just got Mateo to sleep. &quot;

Modifying the fog-of-war manually without a server running affects only the global exposed area (i.e. the entire map), even if one or more tokens are selected. If you want your changes to apply to individual tokens, start a MapTool server with Individual Fog enabled (you can leave the Alias field empty to make an anonymous server, if you wish). This warning will not appear again for this campaign.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods in understanding.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*and follows the captain into the quarters

* Thomas Lazarus steps in, pointedly more careful than normal to keep his treads quiet.

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">The captain folds his arms, seeming to be waiting for an explanation. He does not look happy.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt speaks in a respectful hushed voice. &quot;Anyway...Stanley said that while these 'shamblers' have been seen from time to time, that strange mutant was the first time you'd ever seen something like that.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnoggleolt waves a hand. &quot;Naturally of course, this cast eyes on us as a possible correlation to explain it. Still, we think it was most likely that this was a fluke of timing, that most likely a particularly depraved black dragon just recently took up residence in this territory and we just happened to the the first would-be victims.&quot; Gnogglebolt lets that hang in the air, before holding up a hand. &quot;But...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If this has anything to do with us, we do have a speculation for a possible reason for there to be a connection to us. But in all honesty, we really have no way of knowing, as this is the first time we've seen anything like this before, too.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway. I'm sure you've noted that our drow friend wears a golden amulet?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus merely stands alongside Gnogglebolt as a mute sentinel, corroborating the story with little more than a soft stare.

* Jack Selkirk nods once.

* VAE 's back. Blame bloody RAM and his C4

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, ah. See, the reason we're going to Resca is because we're seeking out Salishea, a draconic champion. Our friend Sszeyl has a curse on him, you see. We're going to Salishea for help with lifting it, but for the moment, the amulet he wears supresses the curse. And, it is made from the scale of a gold dragon. The curse was also laid upon Sszeyl by a...&quot; Gnogglebolt suddenly winces in an epiphany that suddenly makes this all much more likely than they thought-- &quot;...red dragon.&quot;

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

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot; Red god. &quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">*&quot; Red gold. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, we thought if there was any connection to us, it'd be through that. And we thought it was unlikely, but now saying aloud to myself the red and gold...&quot; Gnogglebolt fidgets. &quot;...Suddenly it doesn't seem so unlikely.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus murmurs, &quot;Pehaps so.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But as I said before, this is new to us. We have never been attacked by any draconic minions bedore.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*before

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Still. We are just as worried about the little ones as you are, and we are very sorry, and horrified, that they were so close to danger.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We did not expect any of this.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks serious, but not harsh. &quot;We understand you're upset. Your boy was in danger. And it was probably our fault. But we did not have any idea this would happen. Our own girl was in peril right along side him..&quot; He frowns and looks down briefly.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, we were also thinking of keeping an even closer eye on the little ones, and especially making sure they aren't in such a vulnerable place as the crow's nest, just in case we come under further attacks.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..We should be stricter for the rest of the trip.&quot;

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

* Jack Selkirk nods.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're sorry we didn't tell you before, but we had no idea there would be trouble. But you can rest assured the saftey of the children is as much of a priority to us as it is to you.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt finally falls silent and awaits the captain's response.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">If I had a diplomacy macro, it would be preceded by, &quot;So how about them... local... sports teams. &#171; &#160;1d20+0 = 1 + 0 = 1&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;&quot; :B

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">r.o.f.l.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Wow. O_o

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Good thing that was not a real attempt. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">When you call it, you call it -3-

VAE:<font color="#000000">NOBODY EXPECTS THE DRACONIC INQUISITI-*SMASHED BY AN ANGRY INQUISITOR OF BAHAMUTH*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas: You know what fuck all of you and your crew get over it. &gt;:O .... I mean wait what. O_O

Meany:<font color="#660000">EA: You truly are your sister's brother.

Meany:<font color="#660000">EA: =3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's the &quot;FUCK YOU ALL&quot; .. er.. I mean Hi! typo again

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Fortunately, even with a 1, a +13 modifier would mean at worst a halfhearted attempt is made, and not veer into outright enraging. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">liatai, why is Tathi and Aelian's room VBLed? Is it that censored? :P

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Mysterious green mucous, everywhere.

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot; I agree. But it's not just the children that will need guarding. The Cygnet is not a fighting ship. She's not reinforced, and half the crew barely knows how to use a knife in battle if they needed to. We'll need to stop in Bridgeton to get the underside looked at, to ensure that those things didn't damage the rudder. &quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Light sources, Tathi. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There's no light in there. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">bhfdsbhdsjkbfjhds XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">ze candles, they do nothing!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nobody lit them! XP

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

* Thomas Lazarus nods faintly. &quot;..Brother Miron and I can probably affect some adequate short-term repairs, if so. And you happen to have the company of a fine engineer. But hopefully, all is well.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods. &quot;If there are any damages, I'm sure we can cover the expenses.&quot; Gnogglebolt offers.

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot; That may be necessary. &quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot; We'll need someone else to man the crow's nest if Mateo isn't going to be up there... he won't take that well. &quot; That may have been a faint chuckle.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not a problem.&quot; Spoken softly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">We have half-elven ranges with eyes like diamonds.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm...our own Elros is a fine spotter. His sharp woodsman senses have served us well in the past. I'll ask him if he feels up to the task, if you'd like.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(also ,how long? lynx needs to travel tomorrow)

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot; Thank you. Let me know while we're in Bridgeton, so I know if I need to hire a spotter or not. &quot;

* VAE feels silly for asking and isn't even tired.. but still

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">We could duct tape Aelian and Elros together. Just hang them on the mast. Would be like radar.

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">You forget.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Probably an hour and a half more, VAE.

Meany:<i><font color="#660000">Duct tape hasn't been invented yet.

</i>TMG:<font color="#000000">..../me imagines them spinning about on the mast, radar-style. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">sounds.. just about manageable

Elros:<font color="#006666">Wait, why are you taping me to Aelian?

* Thomas Lazarus bows.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Besides, I don't think Tathi would approve of that.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you for your understanding.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Depends.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Kinky. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods to the man. &quot;Good night, captain Selkirk. And yes, thank you as well.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">We're taping her to the figurehead.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Okay, let me put it this way. I -hope- Tathi wouldn't approve of that. &gt;.&gt;;

Meany:<font color="#660000">So she probably wouldn't have line of sight for spells.

Meany:<font color="#660000">:P

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot; There's always a risk transporting adventurers, though I'll thank you to keep the risk as down as much as you can while you're aboard. Good night. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course.&quot; Gnogglebolt bows/

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; He just nods, expressionlessly, before turning out of the cabin.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That went as well as could be expected, I suppose.&quot; Gnogglebolt says once they're outside and heading back belowdecks.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, Elros, Aelian, you're both here already!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Unfortunately so.&quot; He descends to his room.

* Thomas Lazarus jolts. =3=;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh hello -ack- Gnogglebolt! Fine -ow!- night, don't you think!? Ack! Watch out for angry birds!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">You are quite right to jolt.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt chuckles. &quot;Anyway, Aelian and Elros, I need to ask you both something, a favor if you will.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Sszeyl's since changed outfigts, and undone his long braid, pinning the excess hair to his head in a variety of places to mimic more natrually balanced hair length.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">He still has a large bun in the back, though.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;It seemed like the best place to be if there would be any more...trouble.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Trying a new look? I almost didn't recognize you.&quot; He unslings his scabbard and shield, and sets down in his bunk.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sure. What is it? OW. Watch the beak!&quot;

Swoop:<font color="#000000">Awk awk awk!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt smiles. &quot;That's about what I was hoping to hear. See...we've spoken with the captain, and naturally determined we need to keep a closer eye on the children from here on out. And most of all, they can't be allowed in such a vulnerable place as the crow's nest anymore. This is a bit of a problem for the captain, as Mateo was his normal spotter.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;So, you need us to spot then?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, since you both are fine woodsman, with a keen knack for seeing things that others do not, I was wondering if you could do the favor of taking turns in the crow's nest for the rest of the trip.&quot; Gnogglebolt nods.

* Thomas Lazarus settles in, and looks at the top bunk over him frankly. Severely, even. &quot;...&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;One condition! Get the captain to call off his companion!!!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you don't want to, that's your decisio, but the captain will probably have to hire a spotter in the next stop in that case, and the expense would likely fall on us...&quot; Gnogglebolt says. Flattery plus painting the alternative as undesireable equals results.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Yes. I realized there was no place on board where i could safely bathe to get that gunk off. :| And decided that maybe being less noticible would be prudent.&quot;

Swoop:<font color="#000000">You're the one who stole my feathers! Awk! &gt;''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Mama taught this gnome well. ;)

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">You weren't even using them! D: Swoop:<font color="#000000">AWK!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt chuckles. &quot;I'll see what I can do, Aelian! And Elros?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus seems to have something on his mind, but... barely keeps from speaking up.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He simply closes his eyes and attempts to rest for the night.

Cob Oress:<font color="#000000">You could have always used the hold. That's what we do.

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

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

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Sorry, distracted by messengers

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

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;If we need a spotter, I'll be happy to help. Better than having nothing to do, anyway.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">I see. &gt;&gt;

* Faerie ruffles TMG

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods. &quot;Excellent! Thank you both. And Aelian, I'll see about the bird now...&quot;

Swoop:<font color="#000000">AWK AWK.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Thanks - OW&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt goes back to the captain's door, and very very lightly knocks on it, and looks quite apologetic.

Elros:<font color="#006666">You two, I swear. :T

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot; ...? &quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Razzafrazzin bird!! Why couldn't the captain get a decent companion, like a hound!?!?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gives avery nervous smile as he looks up to Jack. &quot;Aelian and Elros have already agreed to be watchers for the trip--on the condition that the bird stops harassing them...&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot; Bird? ... Swoop? &quot; The captain chuckles.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That one, yeah.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot; All right, I'll get him. Might want to cover your ears a bit. &quot; The captain pokes his head out the door and makes a shrill whistle.

Swoop:<font color="#000000">AWK -- huh?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt stuffs his fingers into his gnommish ears right away.

Swoop:<font color="#000000">Okay, I'll watch the wheel.

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot; He'll stay there for the night unless Kelsey brings him in. &quot;

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Hey, -I'm- happy he didn't get a hound. &gt;.&gt;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Satisfied, Gnogglebolt starts to head back down, but leaves a parting word with the two rangers; &quot;I'll leave you two to work out a watch arrangement, and thank you again for this favor.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Right, let's fast-forward a bit!

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Thank gods.-.-; Now! To make use of all these feathers.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt goes through the ship, collects a nice blanket, and goes down to the hold.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He goes to sleep in the middle of a ring of all the metal pieces parts he brought along.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Dawn of a New Day - Yondallon 5th, cloudy. The Cygnet arrives in Bridgeton near evening.

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Any of you ever been to Bridgeton before?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">SPELLCRAFT? :&gt;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Craft tech!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes you may roll Spellcraft. What, have you made that a macro? XD

Tathi:

<font color="#0000FF">*hugs the DM token!*

Elros:<font color="#006666">What's a Bridgeton? =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Bridge Town.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Craft tech device: &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 7 + 18 = 25&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; versus DC 30

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron kept to himself most of the previous evening.. now, once again he's on top board, watching for more bloody dragonspawn. Seems like, even though he doesn't realise it, he's getting slightly better used to life at sea.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Summon Monster IV looks interesting.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 17 + 12 = 29&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; spellcraft! -5 if its necromancy or illusion, +2 if it's evocation!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">And ah nailed it. :&gt;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... hey, Sszeyl, Tom, did Gnogglebolt bunk with you two last night?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">aw bugger. Sometime throught the day, crashes and spitting in harsh tongues is heard coming from the cargo hold.

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">Oh hi kitty. :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hm? No, actually.&quot; o.o

Scarlet:<font color="#000000">Hi doggy! You're greeeeeen. :o

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">I am! ^_^

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;''Broke it! Broke the&quot; *unintelligible* &quot;Piece of &quot; *unintelligible* &quot;broken!&quot;''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gotta buy new&quot; *unintelligible* &quot;parts...&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... was he down there all night? ... Probably....&quot; ^^;;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Morning Tathi, morning Swallowtail, and morning Mr. Oress.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why'd you say hi to yourself?&quot; :o

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">.. because my player is an idiot and our names are similiar. Excuse me while I fireball his ass.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Knew it. :B

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;'''Gonna take that as a no. Right, first thing you need to know about Bridgeton. Merchant's town. Which means they will try to sell you your own grandma if they think they can.'''&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, not seen for the entire morning and day, finally surfaces around the evening with half his face a blackened smudge and a thunderous glower.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh perfect And i NEED to buy things from there. Now I gotta deal with overselling merchants...&quot; Gogglebolt mutters and grumbles.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd like to see where they'd get her from.&quot;

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Watch your wallets if you keep 'em around waist level... eh... in general,&quot; he corrects himself as Gnogglebolt appears.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*laughs*

Selda Griswold:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's Bridgeton. They'd find a way if they think you're rich.&quot; =3=

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you've gotta buy or sell things here, be prepared to haggle.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;So Gnogglebolt should keep his on top of his head?&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hmm, I wonder, are we nearing an end soon? Just learned the boat parade through the delta I live on has already started, and it will be swining through our river sometime soon.

TMG:<font color="#000000">er...not river, but uh, water in our backyard. :B

Selda Griswold:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nah, tallfellow halflings can reach that high.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ooh, nifty.

TMG:<font color="#000000">No idea exactly when though, so I'm keeping a lookout, I can see the water from where I'm sitting.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">We'll largely be fast-forwarding until Braxton Falls, so make your purchases and/or sell things now. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">...dangit, the lights on the -houses- across the water is throwing me off. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;333/2 = 333 / 2 = 166.5&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt goes into town and buys yet more replacement materials for his device.

TMG:<font color="#000000">And the gnome with a high diplomacy mod and ill temper suffers no merchant shenannigans. :B

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">And a blunderbuss. Can't forget the blunderbuss. x3

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;19350-166 = 19350 - 166 = 19184&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you sure about that, son? For just a few silver pieces, may I interest you in this fine Oldborough's cradle?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">3 hours of sleep has caught up with a vengeance. I've got a horrible headache and I'm nodding off.

GM:<font color="#000000">All right, then let's get noms out of the way and I'll calculate fight XP.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm gonna have to draw the line in the sand here for me. ^^;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yeah, seems a good place to leave off (and gold and silver pieces deduct'd )

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

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">&quot;A marvelous illustration of physics for young and old alike!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Aelian and Elros for Watchmen ;D

Elros:<font color="#006666">As long as I'm not The Comedian.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I TOLD YOU I DON'T WANT--oh my gosh it moves and it's shiny *0*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I nom Gnogglebolt for construction misshap hijinx. :&gt;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">nom Terri for you awake yet silly wizard? XD

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">A mere 3 SP for the Newton's cradle, good sir.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Thought there weren't suppose to be noms for rolls? :B would much rather the nom be on the dialogue with cap'n...ah well. x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I but it I but why OKAY

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">3 sp deducted, 'Oldborough's Cradle' added. x3

VAE:<font color="#000000">look.. it's notso mcuh the roll, but what you did as a result

* Dr. Hatari shrugs, frazzled. ^^;;;

VAE:<font color="#000000">because any roll still has to be played out

TMG:<font color="#000000">*shrug* Alright then, I'll take it. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">there's a difference between a roll tiself being suggested, and the resulting RP

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt walks away from the merchant.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Wait a minute I had three of these at home over the years WHY DID I BUY THIS

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">Bwahaha. =3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">I for example gave a nomination to Saph once for Karis rolling a 1 on knowledge, and then consistently RPing for the next about an hour of IC time that the slime it had to do with was out to get specifically him

* Pushy Salesman twiddles his mustache.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">CURSE YOU MERCHANT VICE EXPLOITATIOOON!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Hello salesman. &gt;:)

VAE:<font color="#000000">and basically trying hard to conceal panicking at every closer contact

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">Hello there! You look like a lady of the arcane.

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">Might you be interested in this fine tome, perhaps? A scroll from the academy town of Manna!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">I am. And what exactly does this scroll contain?

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d3 = 1&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 18&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 44&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">Why, Hold Portal, ma'am!

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">A wonderful spell for keeping prying eyes out of your studies -- or perhaps to secure some private time with a lucky man!

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh yes. We're going to see varsuuvis-shennaigans down the road, I know it. xD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Varsuuvis shenanigans?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hang on a sec.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Mmmm. Intruiging. But I don't seem to have a problem with that. All the noise, you know. Oh god elves.

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">A mere 25 gold pieces for peace of mind.

TMG:<font color="#000000">aha

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Well that's cheap enough. I'll take it.

Pushy Salesman:<font color="#000000">Pleasure, milady! Now might you be interested in another scroll from Manna? This one contains a spell designed to shatter any sort of crystalline object about! Wonderful if your enemies enjoy their windows! Only 150 gold pieces.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;...And Hold Portal, a spell that holds doors shut for a few minutes. And, I might add, a spell so inherently without merit that I shudder to consider what sort of malaise I might have suffered when I decided to scribe it into my tome.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0178.html

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... this is far too much fun I'm sorry. XD

Meany:<font color="#660000">:B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Just so funny that this pushy salesman selling useless things happens to sell -that spell- xD

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Shatter? No. That is quite useless. It's limited by weight, and I tell you, whoever designed it clearly had no idea how heavy a two-inch thick door can get.&quot; Troof. A badly underpowered spell.

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