Ghostwish:Cuz I be silly.

Liatai:Oh phew. XD

Meany:Oh, where.

Meany:<font color="#660000">whew*

Meany:<font color="#660000">I was loading campaign.

Meany:<font color="#660000">But could see y'all chatting.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Was like: &quot;Oh you *string of curse words that had the dog double-take*

TMG:<font color="#000000">Transfer window, mean

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

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Anyway, I'm definitely gonna be gone today, but I'll leave this up.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Problem is resolved. o-O

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">for next time I meant, meany

Meany:<font color="#660000">Kay. :V

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">What's Skyrim? :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">anyway, I'll just stick around and watch for now, no sense trying to get into this while I hadn't even been present for the last session, for only a few minutes before I get yanked away again--

TMG:<font color="#000000">I live under a rock and even I know what Skyrim is. o.O

TMG:<font color="#000000">It's huge

Meany:<font color="#660000">I don't.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Vae says it's Elder Scrolls V...

Meany:<font color="#660000">What are the Elder Scrolls? =3=;

TMG:<font color="#000000">....I'll let ghost beat some knowledge into you. x3

Meany:<font color="#660000">Ghost is busy having a seizure. :V

TMG:<font color="#000000">Suffice to say, the Elder Scrolls is one of the best Western RPG series ever made.

Meany:<font color="#660000">It's Western? :U

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meany, do you recall us talking about Morrowind at any time in the chat?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Made by Bethesda, same people who did Fallout.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Morrowind is the third Elder Scrolls game.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oblivion is the fourth.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Skyrim is the new one, the fifth

TMG:<font color="#000000">Just came ut yesterday. It's highly-anticipated

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Warning: my brother is home. So I may go over the cap. ^^;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Lock him in a closet?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">before the game starts imma gonna shoot up some tanks

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

</i>Tokens dropped onto map 'Castleton - Dock'Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh dear.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Heh, I see someone's jumped the gun. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Many, many of the new images did not attempt to load.

Ghostwish:

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

Ghostwish:

Ghostwish:

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

Ghostwish:

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Most of the map is made out of red X's.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Probably because Ghost loaded the map when the server was already up.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghost, care to restart the server with the maps up this time?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Sure?

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

</i> You have disconnected.

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

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

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

</i>Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE, Fae, would you mind loading the Castleton - Dock map and checking for red X's?

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

</i>Liatai:<font color="#000000">Any sign of X's?

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Loading...

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Yeah, all over.

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fff. How did we fix this last time.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... we could all disconnect and have everyone download the campaign file from the Swap, but that'd be a little cumbersome. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I could try a full restart of maptools?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That would be a good idea. People seeing X's, I'd advise you do the same.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Okiedokie, going down again

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

</i> You have disconnected.

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

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

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

</i>TMG:<font color="#000000">ack, how long was I dc'd?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That appears to have done the trick.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">New textures loaded.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not all of them, I see.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But the important ones.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Which ones haven't loaded?

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">All that appears remaining of the red X's is the gangplank and the.. oh, what're they called.. hooks on the dock that you tie anchors to.

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

</i>Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The ship itself and environment is otherwise complete atleast.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I have no idea what they're called. :B

Tokens dropped onto map 'Castleton - Dock'Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tokens visible?

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yay. One moment, going to take Hakutaku belowdecks.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That level is 100%.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Everything visible? Yay. :D

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

</i>Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, just because I'm curious. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There is one sorcerer on board the ship. Whoever spots the sorcerer correctly gets a virtual pie. :B

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

</i>Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Mateo? :&gt;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Who dares to summon the Death Owl?

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Darnit. jack then.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Loading new maps.

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One moment, I'll get you an audience token so you can see the rest of the crew. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">which map?

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">At the moment, we're just having fun on the Dock. :B

Meany:<font color="#660000">Jack's a Ranger.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">We'll be starting the game at Guardian HQ.

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Kelsey is a cleric.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Selda!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Now you're just trying for process of elimination. XP

Meany:<font color="#660000">Yes, by going for the Charismatic ones.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Selda is a fighter.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">...I still have all X's on the dock map.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's not Connor, nope. One last guess from someone? :B

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Could try restarting my MT if it's a cache issue.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'd advise it, Fae.

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Stanley is a sorcerer 3/swashbuckler 1. :B

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

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">Thought for sure he was a...what do you call it...um.


 * Meany checks books.

<i><font color="#0000ff">Dr. Hatari is disconnected.

</i>Meany:<font color="#660000">Beguiler!

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

</i><i><font color="#0000ff">VAE is disconnected.

</i><i><font color="#0000ff">VAE is disconnected.

</i>Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Interesting..

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Beguiler?! XD You definitely won't think that way when you meet him IC. If you do, I'm playing him waaaay wrong. XD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It is a cache issue.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I closed client and reloaded the docks.

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

</i>Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The gangplank and dock bits have all loaded, no more X's.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay! Now that we've had a bit of fun, shall we roll the calls and call the rolls? Hop over to Vigilant Guardian HQ when you're ready to start the game!

You whisper to Ghostwish: I left Seeds HQ in the file just in case you wanted to flesh it out. :&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That Mink token always reminds me of a cereal box.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Like he's holding a bowl in his left hand, just off-token.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">x3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They're squiggily delicious!&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Here, loaded, etc.

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

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

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


 * VAE mroweth

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Waiting for Haron Silverthrush, it looks like. :.

GM:<font color="#000000">Last time on Akellon... depending on where your character was, it was a very different sort of day on Cuthon 24th. At Vigilant Guardian HQ, it was a day of shenanigans involving rats, cats, hounds, teleporting wizards, and fruit preserves. For the Leaden Mace members, however, it was a far more serious occasion.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thank goodness.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">I'll fix that soon enough..

GM:<font color="#000000">By the way, I should clarify a little what exactly getting the key to the armory means in game terms.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I assumed it just meant ninja looting everything for lulz when I quit.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">You? Ninja? SORRY COULDN'T QUITE HEAR YOU OVER THE CLANKING.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">SWALLOWTAIL, I HAVE A MISSION FOR YOU.

GM:<font color="#000000">If you need things like holy water and light curative potions, or similar small evil-hunting tools, you're welcome to them as long as they have them in stock. I will be keeping track of your Mace tithes from here on out to determine how much there is in the armory. Also, there are regular and masterwork armors and weapons of the more common varieties there for rental. Pay 10% of the item's value as a deposit, and you can borrow them as long as you need. Useful if your weapon's in the shop getting enchanted and you don't want to be weaponless!

GM:<font color="#000000">Nothing over a +1 weapon is in there, though.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Good to know.

GM:<font color="#000000">Be careful, though! Abuse the privelege and your key will get revoked.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">So keep it away from Tathi. Got it.

GM:<font color="#000000">Anyway! Where was I.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Cuthon 24th is drawing to a close, so feel free to end the day however you like before moving on to the first of Yondallon! New month, woo!

Tathi whispers: I just had a -great- idea for a dorf and akell merge.. what if the two parties competed for the same goal? :&gt;

You whisper to Ghostwish: Heh. x3 Might be a fun sort of sidequesty thing sometime.


 * Edaric finally manages to extricate the rat from his guitar. :9

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">To clarify, Gnogglebolt is coming with and Calrach isn't, yes?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Neither Gnogglebolt nor Calrach is.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is building his school, and Calrach is off being a bard.

Meany whispers: Not a full moon, is it? =3=;

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">spell it right!

You whisper to Meany: Yondallon 1st is.

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

Elros:<font color="#006666">And I choose to end the day by...sleeping. Please let there not be new holes in the building when I wake up.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Privilege. I knew it didn't look right. XD Thank you.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8+mod = 18 + 8 + 0 = 26&#160; <font color="#660000">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8+mod = 11 + 8 + 0 = 19&#160; <font color="#660000">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Edaric's painting is done...if I didn't do one already. =3=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nope, not for Edaric.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron doesn't have an especially happy day as the implications of the briefing race through his small-sized mind.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">I think Tathi will go hide under a rock. There seems to be a wrath storm on the horizon. :P

Elros:<font color="#006666">This is not information I require about Aelian.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Faerie wins the gutter mind award.. I'm not even sure what he's getting at. XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So, I never did ask.. did we have the details of the journey plotted out just yet?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">He spent most of the day copying down Sending from one of the scrolls (the one I rolled for at the end of last session)

Faerie:<font color="#006666">&quot;Tathi will go hide under a rock&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Or something.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">alright, was afk, now leaving for real.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">.. I still don't get it. XD

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I'm just terrible, that's all.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Calrach already left the group earlier in the week,he left for Redtree and beyond (since I didn't ge to do his scene)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">=3= ?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just told the rest of the group &quot;Head out towards the coast, I'll catch up with you in Lorellon or later.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">So, that's them written out.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Edaric gets a segment of painted canvas, of the bard himseef, strumming a guitar while speaking to questioning people, while Dwarves toast him, and a younger person watches how he strums, trying to copy him. An arrow with a silk ribbon shaft hangs from the ceiling of the scene, and on the back is the title: The Role Model.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gonna leave this thing upfor the hell of it, but I'm gone, and will continue to be gone for the rest of the month

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

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Good luck! ))

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


 * Edaric is rather awestruck by the portrait. :o


 * Thomas Lazarus spies an examination of the painting. &gt;:3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Going by boat. Hiring boat tomorrow.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I look forward to seeing these boats. :.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, I see. I've never traveled by boat before.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#660000">&quot;I'm heading to Luethil's tomorrow, then. =3$&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#660000">&quot;I'll tell her you all send the best.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I usually travel to Lorellon every year around new year's. My sister and I visit for our birthday, and then stay until the new calendar rolls over.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... talking of tomorrow... who is Silver Thrush? Another student of the Four Schools?&quot; :.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;You are twins?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;He might be of the Swallow.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;He certainly has a knack for gathering and keeping information.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( VAE, you dropped from Skype. Something up? :. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Oh, you're back. ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But, we always travel by road. It will be the first time I arrive there by port.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Which reminds me...&quot; :9

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Suddenly, moar painting!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">I'm like the Mark Twain of paintings. =3= Just keep cranking them out mechanically.

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... come to think of it... When is everyone's birthday, anyway? The only ones I know are Aelian's and Tathi's.&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8+mod = 10 + 8 + 0 = 18&#160; <font color="#660000">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

VAE:<font color="#000000">had to restart skype

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8+mod = 4 + 8 + 0 = 12&#160; <font color="#660000">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Boccon 15th.&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">...The drow takes that painting, and quickly chucks it in the fireplace. =3=

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi quirks an eyebrow at Sszeyl.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;We Drow don't use your calendars. =3=; Heck, we don't use your method of tracking time.&quot;


 * Swallowtail 's brow is furrowed... seems she's wrestling with a similar problem. &gt;:d

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suppose it's to be expected. ... Say. Come to think of it, are there even seasonal weather changes in the Underdark?&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Looks like snow soon here. :. ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">DM, I assume the elves have their own calenders too? :&gt;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;No. It's one continuous temperature year long.&quot;


 * Faerie is just confused as to claendars.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Use the standard Kellon calendar unless you want to make up your own system. XP

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Making up just the one calendar took weeks. XP

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;This is why I'm currently bundled up. =3=; This is deathly cold compared to Ezebeck.&quot;


 * Ghostwish drags in the greyhawk calender. :&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Interesting. Have you been on the surface during a snow before?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;...What's snow? :.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Funny, Thomas, I was born about 9 days after you.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...on a different year though, I should assume.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Snow is frozen rain. But it's not as deadly as it probably sounds. It's light, like shaved ice, and drifts to the ground slowly. It forms great while piles all over the outdoors. It's rather a majestic sight to see a city covered in snow.&quot; :3

Barbarus:<font color="#660000">=3$;;;

Barbarus:<font color="#660000">&quot;Deadly frozen rain is known as hail.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes. That's no fun.&quot; =3=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;...What's ice?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not to mention snow means snowballs.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Now you're just being silly. We have ice here.&quot; =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I was supposed to be a border guard. =3=; I may know something from sight, but not it's proper name.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#660000">&quot;Well then.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Frozen water. It was all over that cold room in Pamela's castle.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi could probably show you some if you asked... on second thought, scratch that. Bad idea.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<i><font color="#FF0000">Abord, Edaric, abord. =w=;

</i>Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">*t &gt;:O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Yes, that smirk is entirely too devlish.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have not seen this snow, too.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus seems surprised.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Please don't do anything injurious to us.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is it so warm in Amaya all year?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very warm, yes. Winter is when storms get stronger, lots of rain and wind. No snow.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;...Is..is it common for your water to freeze into so many things?&quot;

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

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;It only freezes into a couple of things, really. Ice or snow.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's a shame. Snow is the best. I can't even imagine never getting into snowfights as a child.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Anyways. Circles under eyes, the archivist finally descends downstairs. &quot;Morning.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;How do you fight with snow?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;...Miron, it's been like, two hours. =3='


 * Swallowtail headtilts as well.

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

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8+mod = 20 + 8 + 0 = 28&#160; <font color="#660000">&#187; Craft (painting) check!

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Snow is like...wet sand. It can be formed with the hands, and thrown that way.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Boom!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... that sounds like it would hurt.&quot; Swallowtail winces.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Snow? What's that has to do with anything?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros shrugs. &quot;More cold than anything else.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sand is heavy when wet.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No no. It's harmless and soft.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Swallowtail gets a painting. V:

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Snow can get hard too, and slippery&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">brb puppy

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Yes, it's lighter than wet sand. But about that consistency.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unless you have someone who likes to make snowballs into iceballs.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It snows, it rains, then you try to walk without nails in your boots, and break yer face&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suppose it'll be hard to describe until the year's first snowfall.. which shouldn't be too long from now.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why does snow and rain without nails in boots mean broken face?&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi rolls her eyes. &quot;That's.. a bad description. What he means is snow and ice makes things very slippery. There's a few tricks you can do with your footwear for better grip though. But, really.. nails in boots, miron?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah. Sounds fun.&quot; &gt;:3

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">An image of herself seated in a tree heavy with autumn coloured leaves, holding a silver swallow on one finger, while having a small black turtle in her lap. A unfolded tessen is in her free hand, which she is using to fan herself. However, if you look closely, rivulets of red liquid can be seen on the fan, and the hand she's waving it with. An arrow with a silk ribbon shaft is on one of the branches, and across the back is a sentence in Amayan: Where the Ocean meets the Cyclone.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Suddenly. Ninjas on ice!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">:O Swallowtail starts to speak in Amayan when the portrait is handed over. &quot;(Swan Song, this is beautiful! You have a gift.)&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Gratzi. =w=&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">(&quot;Sorry, can't get these syllables right. :9&quot;)


 * Dr. Hatari imagines Brad Pitt saying, &quot;GRATZIE.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">And I believe that's everyone. ^.^

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Short nails stuck in the sole and some wax to seal it..That's a way to deal with it.&quot;


 * Edaric sets aside his guitar. &quot;So, to do tomorrow. Hire a ship, meet Silverthrush here sometime, pack, get on the ship... was there something else to do, too?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Barbarus didn't get one, nor did Gnogglebolt.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Nothing comes to mind for me.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Nah, Gnoggle did. I remember his.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I think Barbarus is right, though.

You whisper to Meany: In case you wanted to bring up bringing along a Toris ICly. :3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi glances over at Aelian. &quot;Not enough time to go check up on the tree, is it?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian shakes his head. &quot;Definitely too short.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi pouts.. &quot;The quicker I figure out how to fly..&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Oh right.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Perhaps...someone could fetch one of the Torises?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The quicker you'll plummet?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;They seem to know Salishea on a personal level. =3=;&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suppose there's no harm in extending the invitation.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Gnogglebolt did get one. :V ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Back at Redtree. ))

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

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

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Semantics. :E ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I had nothing else on the agenda. Shall we stop by now, before they close shop and sleep?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Hey, noting wrong with tree towns.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">We need to get to the root of this problem.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">...must...not...make...&quot;bush&quot; joke... :B

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now? It's dark out already.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">You've already got your gutter mind award, quit miling it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">This is getting deciduous.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Okay, that's going out on a limb.

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

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I beleaf that's enough with these puns.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Early start tomorrow, maybe?&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Quite.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We can't very well just show up tomorrow and ask them all at once if they want to pack up and leave with us for months on an hours-basis notice..&quot; ^^;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm gonna stay here for a bit, but thanks.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sure. It'll just be a minute anyways.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi giggles. &quot;I'll come. This should be hilarious.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... psst, Barbarus, Swallowtail, Aelian.&quot; &gt;:9

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;While Sszeyl's gone, help me out here.&quot; The bard has charcoal and paper.

GM:<font color="#000000">Tokens copied to Pearldust Pawn Shop! Shall I assume that someone has a light source?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, sure. *orisonz*

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron should have an everburning light torch

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl's been making these pictures for all of us, but he doesn't have one. I'm not an artist, but maybe a collaborative effort'll come up with something?&quot; :d

Barbarus:<font color="#660000">&quot;Let's see...&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus raps upon the chamber door.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Knock to the tune of Shave and a Hair Cut- Two bits!

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello? I'm sorry. We're closed for the night.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sorry to disturb you. But we hoping to speak with your family on other matters besides just business.&quot; ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Closed to all? Even crazy adventurers?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's the Guardians!&quot; :D

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;In that case, come in out of the cold.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hi!&quot; :D

Papa:<font color="#000000">Woof!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hi Terri!&quot; ^_^

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hi Miss Eyllisaearsithek!&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=w=; Thomas still seems a little vexed that anyone can pronounce Tathi's name.

VAE:<font color="#000000">that said, Papa looks awesome. Is that a slovak Cuvac?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Looks kinda similar

VAE:<font color="#000000">equally pretty

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Yo dawg.

Papa:<font color="#000000">'Sup, dawg.


 * Thomas Lazarus folds his arms into his robe sleeves. |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nothing. Now don't look at me that way&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thanks for seeing us. We were just musing over our plans for the morrow when an interesting suggestion came up.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;To invite some of your clan to come with us to see Salishea. =3=&quot;

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;What brings you here so late? My father-in-law is asleep, but...&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">:O !!!

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wanna go!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can I? Can I?&quot; :D


 * Thomas Lazarus smirks a little. &quot;Now, now. That's quite up to your folks.&quot;


 * Max pokes his head out of the back room.


 * Papa nudges Terri with his nose.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aw, come on! I'm big enough! An' I can cast wardy spells now!&quot;


 * Papa whines.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Really? What kind of warding spells?&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;... hmmmm.&quot; :3 &quot;How are you planning to go out there?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">^^; &quot;Well, the invitation extends to all of your family, naturally. But we certainly understand if you would rather not.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Protection from Evil!&quot; Terri looks very proud. :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. I believe tomorrow we shall be chartering a boat to Lorellon, and then likely another vessel to the coast.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;At this age? That truly is impressive.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Very nice!&quot; Tathi says, beaming.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You should consider joining the Leaden Mace when you are older. We are always in need of those capable of warding against evil.&quot;


 * Max scratches his chin. &quot;... Then I think I have an idea.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, Miron. |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You will get a nice shiny badge, too&quot; *shows his*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ever the recruiter. He got me with the shiny badge bit, too.&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tharky and I need to head out west soon to do a few errands for Austratorix, anyway. Do you remember that shelter I showed you on your map earlier?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;It sure is shiny!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;But Bri an' Max an' Grandpa make shinier things.&quot; :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Miron's badge is indeed carefully polished*

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi rolls her eyes. &quot;Oie, don't you guys have a minimum age requirement or something?&quot;


 * VAE rofls

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi carefully adjusts her ring.. Miron's badge turns bright pink. &quot;Doesn't that look better, Terri?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not that I know of.. besides I said when she's a bit old-&quot;

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

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros giggles under his breath.


 * Max waits for the shenanigans to subside. |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">*breathes in and out*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Nyoro~n. (:3

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Casts Dispel Magic*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;See, when you join, you'll learn to remove spells with a flick of your fingers, too.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Anyways. We just wanted to catch you before it was too late to let you know.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whatcha thinkin', Max?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I could, and would gladly, teach her that, Miron. By the way, your badge is pink again.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh look, it even has little hearts all over it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Casts Dispel Magic a second time*

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think I'll wait until the elf is done trying to make the gnome explode.&quot; |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Okay, okay, I'm done. FOR NOW.&quot; Tathi says, adding a mock ominious tone to the last bit.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You do it again... &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's all fun and games until the elves get head-locked.&quot; &gt;:3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi eyeballs Thomas. &quot;You wouldn't dare!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*hides badge*

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;May I suggest that if a magic fight is going to happen, you two do it outside?&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you remember the shelter I pointed out to you on your map?&quot;

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

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

Barbarus:<font color="#660000">.9

Barbarus:<font color="#660000">&quot;Something spidery.&quot;

Miron:<i><font color="#000000">Bloody elf.. and those were all my dispells for today. Someone should teach her a lesson..

</i>Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&gt;:3

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Given the rate of ship travel, Tharky and I should be in that area around when your ship gets there. Either we can bring Terri along and meet up with you there to head to the coast... or if Mom and Dad give it the okay, Terri can travel with you to the shelter and we can all meet there before heading to see Salishea.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wanna go on the ship!&quot; :D &quot;Come on, Mom, Dad, pleeeeease?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;What about your sister and brother, Terri? =3=&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hmmm.&quot; He raises a brow and sounds mock-serious.


 * Vira Toris fidgets. o////o;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We would certainly keep you safe from whatever strange sailors we happen to meet along the way. But that's quite a journey to be undertaking without your parents at your side.&quot;

Ian Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm afraid I cannot afford to take an unscheduled vacation from my studies at this time.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'd be seeing what magic I could teach Terri. You wouldn't need a security system once I get a few fireballs and lightning bolts into her.&quot; :3 And I totally forget. Is Terri wizurd or sorcy-dorky?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The party doesn't know.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Duskblade. Watch her kick our asses.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's not so long! We moved here from Resca after all!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">So I'm NOT that forgetful! &quot;Terri, I'm curious. Do you study magic, or does it come naturally?&quot;

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is a very long journey by ship... but Maximillian's suggestion has merit. If I'm not mistaken, Matthew and I were both already taking journeys when we were Teria's age...&quot;


 * Barbarus just lends wisdom to an Aid Another Craft check. =3$;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 4 + 17 = 21&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; Knowledge Arcana!

Ian Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Her 'study' is play.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is not! It's totally serious studying!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh I should've known. Only a sorcerer could be so young.&quot; Tathi says with a wink.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">STOP MIMICING MY ROLLS MORON.


 * Papa seems to be appraising the Guardians. &gt;:|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A rendezvous out there would be just fine, I think. Besides.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh, did I ever mention that Miron can do dark knowledge against dragons and constructs?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Useful if Sszeyl effs up again. (draconic archivist feat)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We don't yet know exactly what arrangements we will have to make in Lorellon after we arrive. We could have an unusual shipping schedule to follow, or something of the sort.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, What did he find out with that roll?

VAE:<font color="#000000">on Terri of course.


 * VAE facepaws

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's there


 * VAE headdesk

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps you could let us know when you have a more definitive schedule. Matthew and I will need to talk this over, of course. Will you know by tomorrow afternoon?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE - Spells coming to someone like play comes to a child? Yep. Definitely a sorcerer.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Certainly. I'll make a point of getting all of the available details from our captain and Sending them your way before long.&quot;


 * VAE misread Ghost's statement - read as &quot;sorcerer could not be so young&quot;, see

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

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

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;How will you be reaching Lorellon, then, if not by ship?&quot;

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


 * Dr. Hatari scrolls. =3=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Thomas spoke of arrangements to be made in Lorellon. :B

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi facepalms. &quot;Thomas is just being Thomas again. We are scheduling a ship tomorrow.&quot;


 * Ghostwish sticks his foot in Hatari's mouth.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Quit being a jackass. :P

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I just figured we were traveling to Lorellon, and then traveling to the coast.

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then once you've scheduled a ship, perhaps you could come visit us again.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And not automatically assuming the same ship was taking that exact route.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You're on the river. :B A ship would be the fastest way there. Plus, the map is the Castleton docks. x3

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I can't find where I ever suggested doing anything else, hence the confusion. :P

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Silly Hatari. Stop beating up your brain with cookies. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Heh, well, OOC confusion and IC confusion alike can be cleared up equally well. x3 Got a rough idea of what the plan is now?

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Try beating it with pudding cups. ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">No, seriously, I don't understand why you guys think I don't understand. Quit it. lol

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Now hold on. If you don't understand why we think you don't understand then who understands that I understand that they don't understand?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We're taking a ship. That's what was said. Loren confused me. =w=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Lauren was just as confused. XD

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


 * Ghostwish runs away from all the bricks!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi squints at Terri. &quot;You didn't learn the confusion spell by any chance, did you?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nuh-uh, not yet.&quot;

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

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;When should we be expecting you?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm gonna go pack right now!&quot; :D

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. I'll make sure to get an early start out of them to speak with a captain. We'll return before noon.&quot;

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well. We'll be waiting.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">okay I can't resist.

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Was there anything else you wished to speak about?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi peers over at Papa. &quot;Still a dog, hrm? Well then, I'll just fix that right this instant!&quot; She says...

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">... and twists her ring. Now papa's green with purple stripes.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;There, now you're a silly dog.&quot; :3


 * Papa sniffs, snuffs... then barks in a laughing way!


 * Thomas Lazarus offers a heavy sigh.

Papa:<font color="#000000">He flicks his tail.

Papa:<font color="#000000">Tathi's hair is now bright blue. :3

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;I don't think he minds.&quot; :B

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi peers at a strand, and then giggles. &quot;I feel moony.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...it looks good on you?&quot;

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's enough, dear. Think of the example you're setting for the children.&quot;

Papa:<font color="#000000">Aw. |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">*uses the time and distraction to cast prestidigitation on Kor. He is now a rainbow rat*

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;That was pretty much it. =3=;&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Sorry to bother you at so late a time.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Zzzz.. zzz... *snrt* Huh? What are you... WHAT THE BLAZES!? WHO DID THIS. &gt;:O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;First thing I'll teach you, Terri. Prestigidination.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">I know I misspelled that. XD

Lauren Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's quite all right. Be safe. The night is more full of danger than it has been as of late.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">A call from upstairs. &quot;I already know that one! Prestidigitation!&quot; :D


 * Thomas Lazarus bows.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi raises both her brows, and then looks to Papa. &quot;And you're not rainbow colored on a daily basis how?&quot;


 * Papa pants, grinning in a doggish way. :3

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Ezer totally laughs at Kor.

Ezer:<font color="#006666">...as much as a cat can laugh.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">SILENCE. I WILL NOT SUFFER THIS INSULT.

Ezer:<font color="#006666">He's laughing on the inside.

Ezer:<font color="#006666">You come down here and say that, rat. 8D

VAE:<font color="#000000">ever seen a cat?

VAE:<font color="#000000">they don't laugh on the inside .. they are public about it

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I've been cat-sitting before. She just meowed at me.

GM:<font color="#000000">When you're ready, hop back to Guardian HQ, and we'll advance the calendar. :3


 * Thomas Lazarus hops. &gt;:O


 * VAE waits while Tathi notices rat colour change

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Welcome back TathiiieeeEEEEEEK!!!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What? They thought it was a nice color.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Did you have to spike it like that??&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Okay I'm done. XD

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;.... did you seriously just say 'eek?'&quot; x3

VAE:<font color="#000000">he's a poofter!

VAE:<font color="#000000">And Tathi a crossdresser!

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;NO.&quot; <font color="#0000FF"> &quot;..maybe..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Everyone sleep okay?&quot; Tathi asks, as innocent as snow.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl, did he?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Does she ask loud enough to wake Miron up, given she's next to him?

Miron:<font color="#000000">*stares forwards, expressionless*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I see.. well. Hopefully it'll be soon. I've been preparing for combat the past few nights, just in case 'that visitor' comes knocking. I can't contact him with a Sending today.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Don't worry Thomas. I'll keep you safe from the assassins.&quot; She says, smirking.. The little elf in a dress to the towering templar. XP

 * Thomas Lazarus just raises a brow, seemingly not very amused. &quot;It's no joke, you know. But I'll be ready if it happens. I'm only sorry we can't find them sooner. I'd love to chase them out this entire scheme.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">SUDDENLY, PIXIES.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, she doesn't even keep her ass safe from that elf at bloody six in the morning.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh please. It was seven!&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Really, it was. My pocketwatch even says so.&quot;


 * Edaric strums calmly. &quot;Oh, no. If that's what it was, it would sound way different. Believe me, we've heard it enough.&quot; =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Keep in mind I have a few Cold Shower spells ready, smarty-elves.&quot; =3=

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fun fact - Sszeyl told Silverthrush to come at his leisure. So you'll be waiting a fair bit if you're waiting for him to arrive first. :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">Fucking elves. Literally

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Fireballs make for such useful alarm clocks.&quot; Tathi says, sticking her tongue out.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In any case, I'm going to head to the marina if we're simply waiting on an unknown. I need to get the details for Lauren, atleast. I don't blame her in the slightest for wanting us to have our business on the ball if we're even considering bringing her daughter along.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Naw, that would have worn off by now.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'll come with.&quot;

Miron: <font color="#0">(( see, Miron has little practice with that spell ))

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds like a fair plan. I'll come along. I'm pretty good at finding details out.&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I'd...rather not. =3=&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;My presence would likely only serve to raise our fare.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's fine. A few should stay for Mr. Silverthrush anyways.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I stay, too. Swan Song, maybe you can show me what I did wrong with that sweet-cake.&quot; ^^;;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*stays along. Not letting the drow alone for a bloody moment*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's wonderful news. We won't even have to change ships en route.&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I spy a GM token. :o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hrm. I'm curious as to how they know us.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;How they know us?&quot;

Tokens dropped onto map 'Castleton - Dock'Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">And boom.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's go speak with them and see if everything will work out. Perhaps we'll be able to brighten Terri's day.&quot; =w=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Sweet cakes galore. =3=

Shadow Flayer:<font color="#0000FF">Squiggly Squiggly.

GM:<font color="#000000">Go'waaaay!

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

Tokens dropped onto map 'Castleton - Dock'Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Aye. How did they know we had so many animals?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660000">Now you're just being mean about it.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">*snrk*\

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

Faerie Alex:<font color="#006666">...wait, you could actually. &gt;.&gt;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;They didn't. I just asked because I knew we had Kor, and the hounds, and Ezer, whethey they'd take on animals.&quot;

Faerie Alex:<font color="#006666">Poof!

Barbarus:<font color="#660000">The cat departs for Homely House!

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Hey, who are you calling an animal? &gt;:

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's go then.&quot; ^^

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Should be docked over here if the directions I got were right... made an appointment with the harbormaster, so the captain knows we're coming.&quot;

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

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Hey, would it be alright if I poofed for a few?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Go ahead. HvZ? :3

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I wanna grab some food before I leave around 7.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're so on top of things. Thanks, Ed. I would probably have been asking random river pirates for days or something.&quot; =w=;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Just a run to the cafeteria. x3

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

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I'll be back.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Go, nom away.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;That could have been fun.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Perhaps.&quot; He muses wryly. &quot;..But not necessarily a trip for Terri.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus waves to the folks on the dock while approaching.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ah yes, true.&quot;

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

</i>Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ho there!&quot; A man in a blue coat on the dock waves to you as you approach -- he has a rather loud voice, so you can hear him before you even step onto the dock. A human boy of about nine echoes the cry with a &quot;Hoy there!&quot; and -- good grief. That bird on the dock next to the man is almost as large as the boy. O_o

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'd be the adventurers looking for passage?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;That we are! I suppose you might be the captain?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yessir. We're with the Guardians. Thomas.&quot; He gestures to Tathi, Aelian, and Edaric in turn, giving each name. Elros is unsurprisingly not present. :BBB

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

</i>Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oven again.

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

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ayup, that'd be me. Jack Selkirk, captain of the Cygnet.&quot; He smiles and gestures to the ship to his left. &quot;This here's my boy Mateo, and this is Swoop. Where are you headed?&quot;

Swoop:<font color="#000000">The osprey flaps its wings and resettles itself. Its wingspan is longer than Tathi is tall...

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Do they eat mice?

Swoop:<font color="#000000">You're safe. I'm an osprey. 99% of my diet is fish.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">A fine bird then! Unlike the scruffy and unloved felines. :&gt;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can see why they said your ship was animal-friendly.&quot;


 * Jack Selkirk gives a barking laugh at that.

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

</i>Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Is it bad I had to look at the map to remember how to spell Lorrelon?


 * Liatai misspells it all the time. =w=;;;;;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Lorrelon, we're hoping. That's on your way, isn't it?&quot; She says with a smile.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lorellon, you pricks

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just to Lorellon?&quot; I may just change the spelling to that, it's easier to remember. XD

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">actually, Lorrelon?


 * VAE 0_0 's

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm. After that, we were heading out towards Resca.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">why was it called other way most of the time?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The capital was just a stop we had hoped to make.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Now it's changed to Lorellon. Official retcon. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We had heard you were due out that ways. Is that true?&quot;

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

</i>Meany:<font color="#660000">YoFae.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Weird, I dunno what happened there.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I'm back now, anyway.

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see! Ayup, we're making our run to the coast before the snow flies. Whether you're going with us all the way there or switching over in Lorellon is your call. You're the customers, after all!&quot; He grins, shoving his hands into his pockets. &quot;Would you care to go aboard and have a look around?&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">you kept it in the description

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's mentioned like, three times

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Certainately!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">She's sort of occupied, cut some slack. :P

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Certainly. I was just about to ask how big a party you could accomodate. There're quite a few more of us. We were even considering a guest.&quot; ^^;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right this way, lady and gentlemen. Not scared of the water, are you?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Creak wobble. owo;

Ezer:<font color="#006666">I'm not scared of the water. Surprisingly. o.o

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Cygnet has enough beds for sixteen passengers, not counting the crew. That enough?&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">...is that Captain Jack? x3

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

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right this way!&quot; the kid pipes up, just as loudly as his father, gesturing the way to the gangplank.


 * Dr. Hatari was already planning to call him Captain Jack. :B

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I suspect my companions will hope there's walls between those beds.&quot; She says, sticking her tongue out at Thomas. Aelian turns a little red.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I see you've got a Squiggly thing, too. Man. We need to get us one of those. =w=


 * Thomas Lazarus is squig'd.


 * Thomas Lazarus glances sidelong and remarks with a flat tone, &quot;What? No, nonsense. The rythm helps me sleep.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Just be good if we bring a little girl with us.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Oh he's really red now.

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;This here's the main deck, as you can see. Captain's quarters are up there -- you won't need to worry about those. That's my wife Kelsey at the helm -- you'd go to her if you find yourself hurt on board, or suffering from seasickness.&quot;


 * Ghostwish peeks around the DM screen and pokes the DM. &quot;Could you delete the Seeds from the map list? I'm gonna upload the finished one.


 * Thomas Lazarus offers a friendly wave.

Kelsey Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Jack! Did you --?!&quot;


 * Dr. Hatari searches for sea-voyage music. =3=

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep, I talked to the redhead before he came aboard.&quot; |3 To the Guardians -- &quot;She's also the resident expert on good-luck charms and what's bad luck aboard.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ah yes, here it is. Nostalgia. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaKmkoy1r7o

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian blinks.. &quot;Something about my hair color..?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods. :o

Elros:<font color="#006666">Don't worry, my hair is the opposite. We balance out.

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

</i>Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Those are our two dinghies and lifeboats there, the Cormorant and the Cradle.&quot; The captain grins to Aelian. &quot;Old sailor's superstition. Bad luck to have a redhead on board if you didn't talk to them before they talked to you.&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;... so if I was a sneak with a loose tongue I could never find a ship that would take me?&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends on how lucky you want your voyage to be.&quot; |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi giggles. &quot;Oh you should hear the stories of pureblooded elven sailors. The leaves have more sway then the captains do!&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;What you'll want to see are the cabins -- we're a small ship, but we've got the space for passengers and cargo.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">The captain opens up a hatch on the deck and gestures to a ladder. &quot;After you?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus warily descends. Oh dear. He's never sure which ladders can handle him and which can't. (:9

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">This ladder is plenty sturdy -- it's used to hefty sailors and cargo.


 * Thomas Lazarus notes the doors and peers inside one of the rooms.

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;The four doors here lead to the passengers' beds -- the ones near the rear of the ship are crew's barracks. And behind me is the galley.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">sorry, was afk

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Galley?&quot; He looks up.

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

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

</i>* Ghostwish peeks around the DM screen and pokes the DM. &quot;Could you delete the Seeds from the map list? I'm gonna upload the finished one.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Joy and behold, walls.&quot;

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


 * Thomas Lazarus snickers.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Maptool froze, then internet went down.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Someone send me everything since Fae poofed back.

Meany:<font color="#660000">?&amp;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi peeks into one room, and then grins at Elros. &quot;Oh look. Bunkbeds.&quot;


 * Jack Selkirk laughs. &quot;It's fine! It's to be expected. It's not the seasoned sailor that tends to venture onto the dock in full plate.&quot; :3

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;The galley's the kitchen. Here, it doubles as the dining room and as a general place for crew and passengers alike to sit awhile.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs the back of his head. =w=;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;The hatch down there leads to the cargo hold -- you shouldn't need to go down there, but it makes a good place to hide away from the young'uns if you're looking.&quot; A knowing smirk to Aelian and Tathi.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">uploaded. Have a look. :&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Pardon. Force of habit. I used to be a templar.&quot;

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

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">Someone send me everything since Fae poofed back?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;--But, I must say, things look splendid.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Pardon the pry, but any wizards or sorcerer's aboard?&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Quit it! I can only turn so red!&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;I am making sure I'm in a separate room from you two.&quot; :[

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, you must not get a lot of career adventurers. They're always asking if you've got some nutball like themselves around.&quot; =w=

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">E.A: &quot;ARE ANY OF YOUR CHILDREN... CURSED?&quot; Me: &quot;(lolwut)&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi narrows her eyes at Thomas, but smirks. &quot;Extra gold if you make that one walk the plank.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;But we're pretty well stocked for basic magic here. Kelsey has the healing and divine covered, and Stan has a bit of the arcane fire in his blood. Nothing fancy, but it'll save you from drowning if you fall overboard -- and it's pretty good at fending off any brigands' ships.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;He should be in the galley if you want to say hello.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I've got spell-immunity to fireball and I'm not afraid to headlock, missy.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... also, every time river pirates and bandits come up. This song. Gets stuck in my head. XD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHAl1tWvvPA

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Are brigands much of a concern along the route?&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not until you get out near Deepfoot -- the swamps.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Every now and then you get a few swamprats looking to make a few platinum by raiding a trade ship.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well darn, so much for my expertise paying my way then.&quot; Tathi says, laughing.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. You'll have little of that to worry about while you transport us. I can say with no embellishment, they won't know what the hell hit them.&quot; He smiles.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hopefully things'll be quiet, though.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Should be, but you never know with adventurers aboard. No enemies ahead that will be laying in wait for us, I hope?&quot; He says it with a grin.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I should hope not. But that rather reminds me. Getting ahead of ourselves.&quot; ^^;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;The young lady elf brings up a topic to talk about, of course. To go all the way out to Resca, the price would be 75 gold pieces a head. To Lorellon, though, it's a fair bit cheaper. 5 gold pieces per person will get you there.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Our party. I believe... eight adults. Three large animals. Perhaps a child (we've yet to see).&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Mmm.. one of which being a Drow elf. If that's a concern..&quot; He adds a bit nervously. =w=;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;The animals... how large are we talking?&quot;

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Hi! Down here!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A DROW?! THAT'S LIKE A WOMAN TIED TO A BLACK CAT COVERED IN CRACKS! &gt;:O&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smirks, reaching down and petting her elven hound.Tavia and Amadre are the largest, easily.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;We've no elves in the crew, and as long as she doesn't cause trouble and she pays her way, she should be fine. Can't recall any superstitions against drow.&quot;

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


 * Jack Selkirk kneels down and holds out a hand for Ezer to sniff. &quot;Just these three?&quot; :3

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">Automatically assume it's a woman.


 * Thomas Lazarus doesn't correct.

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

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Was afraid you'd say you were bringing horses!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, no. I just meant larger than a fat rat.&quot; =w=

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Had to turn down a fellow a few months back with a horse companion. We just don't have the space for 'em.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gee I wonder. XD

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Will you be bringing your own food for them?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks back at Tathi and nods.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We can certainly take care of our own.&quot; :3

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;(I could rustle up something at worst.)&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus prepares hotdogs. *brick'd*

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ten gold pieces an animal will cover them all the way to Resca. One per animal for the Lorellon way.&quot;


 * Dr. Hatari maths.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oop, gotta go AFK for a minute.

Venezuela:<b><font color="#660000">As you should be, mortal.

</b>Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros has more than enough gold to cover that, if need be.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm thinking the whole voyage cost for everyone is 753 gp.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let's see, how many people do we have...

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

</i>Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I assumed 8 party members and a Toris.

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

</i>Liatai:<font color="#000000">Thomas, Edaric, Aelian, Swallowtail, Elros, Tathi, Miron, Sszeyl, plus a Toris... three animals...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;75*9+30 = 75 * 9 + 30 = 705&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Meany:<font color="#660000">If peeps don't want to burn their monies.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Barb gave his foxfur bracers-can't wear them with only one arm anyway-for travel expensises. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh. I added the Resca and Lorellon prices together. I suppose the first includes the latter. :P

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">That's okay. Anyone hiring this guy as their accountant probably just has a soft spot in their heart for well-meaning dorks.

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

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you want to peek in the galley, or head back to the deck?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Let's have a peek!&quot;

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

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

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;This here's the galley -- and the crew.&quot;

Scarlet:<font color="#000000">Oh hey! You brought me a snack! How nice! :D

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

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's Scarlet, ship's cat.&quot; He gives the feline a scritch behind the ears as he passes.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL FELINE.


 * Thomas Lazarus stoops for Scarlet.

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Ooh, a friend?

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;She's Stan's, in name -- that's him over there. My cousin. He's been on the ship as long as I've owned it.&quot;

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yo!&quot; Good grief! If you thought the captain had a loud voice...

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's Selda, and there's Connor over there. Cob's the one by the stove -- the galley's his domain.&quot;


 * Scarlet purrs and rubs against Thomas' hand.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Erk -- He recomposes himself. =w;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;You've already met Kelsey and Mateo -- and Swoop -- so that's everyone!&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I see. Pleased to meet you all. I think this'll be a fine vessel to take our journey on, indeed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We still have some packing and arrangements to make -- when were you planning to set sail?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yes, we've got a few friends to make aware of our arrangements. Might change how many come.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 15 + 14 = 29&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 18&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d100 = 88&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d100 = 63&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">You owe us like four. :P

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're flexible -- whenever you're ready, we can ship out. It'll probably rain on the third, so we'd best be on the river before then so we can wait out the storm in Lorellon while the customs people check the hold over.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That should be fine. Expect us late afternoon, in that case.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods to the others. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Afk again, two shakes. Carry on.

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( brb preppin' puppyi's dinner ))

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;'''We'll be ready! Lookin' forward to it!'''&quot; This guy clearly has little concept of an indoor voice. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">No silverthrush appearances yet?

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;How old of a kid are we talking for the potential passenger, anyway?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">None yet. It's still about 7 o'clock in the morning.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Terri is.. 12ish?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">8-12, thereabouts.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's hard to tell with those anime-looking kids.

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


 * Thomas Lazarus cradles his chin. :. &quot;Gosh, I'm not actually sure. Terri is.. ten or eleven, isn't she?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Just about, I believe.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not a toddler, then. That's all I was asking about.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, no. She can apparently even cast combat spells, if he boasting when we left is to be believed.&quot; He smirks.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Get out, Terrance

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Really now! Heh -- adventurers and their company. It'll be good to have someone Mateo's age aboard. Shall we head out so we all can prepare to be underway by afternoon?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sounds good to me!&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods.


 * Dr. Hatari was just imagining what it would be like to run a D&amp;D-based business.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The 'NO' signs would be amazing.

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( brb, startin' suppa. Which means firing up the microwave. XD ))

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">As you leave, you can still hear the blue-haired man in the galley. &quot;You heard the captain! Let's get going!&quot; Unbolded because you have a door between him and you. :B


 * Dr. Hatari imagines a boat with a crudely scrawled sign on the docks. &quot;NO NINJAS&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Discrimination! &gt;:O

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We'll have fare for the voyage ready to go when we return.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Nice meeting you all.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;The same to you! See you this afternoon. We won't leave without hearing from you, don't worry!&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( semi afk while making dinner, will keep peeking in ))


 * Thomas Lazarus nods. He carefully returns to the docks.

Swoop:<font color="#000000">Yep. He's a landlubber.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Let's see, let's see.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">But I'm wearing, like, three anchors. D:


 * Thomas Lazarus heads off to the Pearldust to deliver trip details, first.

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

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see...&quot;

Meany whispers: Edaric has them 1.7k bracers, if peeps want to not spend their money. :P

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Ah yes, that works. =w=

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;We've talked it over... and Terri is at about the age where she can start going on trips with family friends.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mmhmm. They seem like an upstanding sort, and will be carrying us for the whole trip. I've no personal concerns about it anymore.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Tom, get the anchors out of your pants.&quot;

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

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">Imagine if you will, the background turning black with flames for a moment. &quot;But if anything happens to her, there won't be enough of any of you left to resurrect.&quot; *_*

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

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;We'll make sure she's not in the same room as Tathi and Aelian.&quot;

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

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Clear enough?&quot; ^^

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;O-of course. Naturally, we'll be responsible for her well-being.&quot; =w=;;;;;;


 * Terri bumps down the stairs with a bag. &quot;I'm ready!&quot; :D

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;They'll be leaving in the afternoon, Terri.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aww!&quot;

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;See you on the docks then?&quot; ^^


 * Thomas Lazarus nods sheepishly. |D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">To the HQ!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're back!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;--We're back.&quot;

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

</i>Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;We're back!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your turn, Elros.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, how did it go?&quot;

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

</i>Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Very good. We found a nice, clean ship and a lively family that runs it to sail us all the way to Resca.&quot;

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">I think I missed some serious stuff. =3=;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You got crazy discs boy.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Because my Maptool froze when Terri was just coming down the stairs.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;And the little red-haired girl is coming with us, it seems. (Man, her dad's scary. &gt;.&gt;;;;;;;;) &quot;

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

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

Meany:<font color="#660000">If I ghost disconnected, so help me.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Oh, there's Hatari.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Hey, everyone.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">You're treated to a lovely smell.

Sszeyl:<b><font color="#660000">Of the best damn sweet cakes you ever ate in your life. *_*

</b>Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, I don't blame him. I would be super-protective too. We are kind of.. well.. silly and dangerous as a whole.&quot; =w=;


 * Thomas Lazarus knocks a chair out of the way. &gt;:O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;8O

Liatai:<font color="#000000">.... and climbs on the table? :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. I always said the Guardians should observe higher standards of professionality&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Don't make me slap you with an angry cat. =w=

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;No sign of our guest yet?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Nope.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Sandvich eating sounds. =3=

GM:<font color="#000000">Shall we get mid-session noms out of the way quickly while we wait for everyone to be here?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;--Well, we have until supper time, I suppose.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Nominating the dice for being brazen about weather.


 * Liatai needs new d10's. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Nominating Tathi for pink badge. Way to ruin a recruitment attempt.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sszeyl for Professional. Epic cakes and portraits. It's like he's some kind of Great Artist. Even in fights. :B *punch'd*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Sszeyl for Painting and Kindling.

GM:<font color="#000000">Duly noted. Right then, who's here?

 * Ghostwish is still munching on dinner

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Prestidigitation I assume.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">There are bite-marks in the table. :E

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( No no no. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( They're playing Seven Minutes in Heaven. ))


 * Teeny Rin gets a piece of the action.

Aelian: <font color="#0">(( Pfuh -- why is my mouth full of fur? ))

GM:<font color="#000000">It's about 10 o'pocketwatch when there's a knock on the door.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Finally. I mean. &gt;.&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- what the heck music player. Stop playing Disney. This is srs. XD


 * Thomas Lazarus answers.

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

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is it afternoon already? Good day, Guardians.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We've been expecting you. Mind the snares and looming half-cages.&quot; =w=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Anyone who notices to look over the Drow's shoulder notices...a lot of dark gray in this painting. A black-skinned figure sitting on among spiderwebs, holding two masks in his hands. On the left, the mask is red-eyed, and expresses malicious glee with needle teeth. On the right, the mask is blue-eyed, and expresses unimaginable despair. The mask he's wearing across his face is green-eyed, and perfectly neutral. From behind the webs, a pair of huge white eyes stare out at the viewer. The figure wears a large arrow with a silk ribbon shaft as a belt, and on the back is it's title: From beneath you, it devours.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 4&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Spot

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron markedly doesn't


 * Haron Silverthrush chuckles dryly, but does glance up briefly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Please, come in.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you. A very nice place you've chosen for your headquarters.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It has seen a little wear and tear.&quot; =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But. What brings you, Mr. Silverthrush?&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">'If it helps any, you can barely even see where the spiders burnt it.&quot; |3

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

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;As for what brings me... a message. But not one for you to hear... one for you to deliver, if you're so inclined.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Deliver to whom?&quot;

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

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;A chance to help save innocent lives and prevent a potential catastrophe... without all of the danger and bloodshed of your standard adventure.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Whom to? We intend to leave tomorrow, so we may not have much time, if it's far.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whose lives would those be?&quot;

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

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Word is that you're headed west, past the town of Thalinde.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Only a fool buys a cat in a sack&quot;


 * Dr. Hatari consults map. :9

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi blinks and looks up. &quot;A catastrophe?? Do tell.&quot;

Tokens dropped onto map 'World Map'Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">The messenger takes a sealed letter out of his pack. &quot;This message needs to reach the hands of a healer living in that town. Arivan Marathal is his name, an elf who follows the path of the sun; you'd need to tell him that the letter is for Pellan'zyne. He'll be able to take it from there.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course, you wouldn't be working for free.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus consults a map.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, I see.&quot; He notes the location.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Does it need to be there by a certain date?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And who does Pellan'zyne happen to be &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;We're supposed to stop briefly in the capital.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">He takes two more things out of his pocket -- a silver ring, and a pouch. &quot;As long as if arrives before the 15th of Yondallon.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That should probably not be a concern, unless we run into some freak storms or the like.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;As for who, perhaps you'll find out when you deliver the letter. I can't say.&quot; |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well... the church of Pelor can be trusted.. I hope the same is true for its individual members.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;D'oh, you always instantly think of doom and treachery, brother. Mr. Silverthrush has done us a number of favors. The least we can do is pass off a letter for him while we're traveling.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;As for your payment, should you choose to accept it... this ring is enchanted with a light protective ward. You may decide to use it, or sell it. But the second part may interest you more, Lady Tathi.&quot;


 * Sszeyl gives Swallowtail a glance.


 * Swallowtail is watching the man.


 * You roll to yourself: 1d20+8 =&gt; 11 + 8 = 19Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends on the letter's contents. But I agree.. let's give him the benefit of doubt for now.&quot;


 * You roll to yourself: 1d20+18 =&gt; 20 + 18 = 38Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Auran: (&quot;The ring could be useful for you, Tutor. :v&quot;)

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aelian, would you care to jostle your lover out of trance? She'll want to be awake to see this.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hey! I'm paying attention!&quot;


 * Faerie eyes the time.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">It is rapidly approaching that point where, I believe, I shall bid you all adeiu.

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Ta~ ))


 * Haron Silverthrush opens the pouch and places the contents on the table... four acorn-like seeds with green bodies and silver caps. While they may look just like acorns to most anyone else, Tathi should recognize them nigh-instantly... seeds for trees. Trees from the old wood.

Sszeyl: <font color="#660000">(( Enjoy feating on the humans! ))

Faerie:<font color="#006666">(As I say the most words I have all night. :U )

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi's eyes go wide.. &quot;How did.. where did..&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;When the letter finds its owner, there will be more waiting for you.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 1 + 3 = 4&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Untrained Knowledge(nature) on what the hell it is.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Good night, everyone.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Good night. Nom humans. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Miron is convinced they are pinecones for *dwarf pines* *

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I'll probably be back later, though likely after midnight.

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

</i>Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Interesting ... how did you grow such small ones?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Done.&quot; Tathi says with finality, delicating taking the acorns..


 * Haron Silverthrush lays the letter on the table beside the ring. &quot;Do you need a note to remember the names involved?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'll take one, just to be sure.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We aren't mindless.&quot;


 * Haron Silverthrush takes out a scrap of parchment and writes. &quot;In the town of Thalinde, the healer Arivan Marathal. He should be told that the letter is for Pellan'zyne. If you can't find Arivan, the letter can be handed to Sornala Marathal in his stead, with the same instructions.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who is Sornala Marathal?&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;An inquisitor to the core.&quot; Silverthrush smirks. &quot;His daughter.&quot;

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

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Have you any other questions regarding the message?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Most interesting would be its content. Or, the exact reason why it's being sent. But, I doubt you are going to provide either.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;You would be correct. May I suggest that you leave the seal unbroken?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Don't worry. =3=&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;We'll put it on high shelves.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus covers his mouth. x3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 3 + 10 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bluff. Don't... laugh... x3

Miron:<font color="#000000">*goes red*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The .. Sszeyl should mind his bloody mouth.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Miron, don't act like you wouldn't open it the second you thought none of us could stop you.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's only a matter of being prudent. Honest people have nothing to hide, not from us.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Yes, not from us, the Guardians. Lo, how we are just a fledgling Adventuring Guild without any established repuation yet.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;You would be surprised. Sometimes, it's wise to hide a lantern. Perhaps when the letter's delivered, you'll get to peek under the cover a little.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;But the Mace, servants of the Saint, who is notorious for not being merciful...not so much.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I very much hope so&quot; *to sszeyl* &quot;I meant the Leaden Mace&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And justice supersedes mercy.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;I will not get into a moralistic debate with you in front of our guest.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;The letter shall be delivered unmolested until circumstance dictates otherwise.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;That is all anyone could ask for.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It shall be.. but since when do you speak as the front of the group? &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Since everyone else tires of arguing with you. =3=&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh. One final warning.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Or is too kind to.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not something that you'd be guilty of, definitely&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor Steelsprocket, watch yourself around Sornala Marathal. Otherwise, I hold no responsibility for what may happen.&quot;

Sszeyl:<i><font color="#660000">Oh, I like this one. =3=

</i>Sszeyl:<i><font color="#660000">He can stay.

</i>Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Duly noted... what is her profession?&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Her father's.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So she is a priestess of Pelor?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Those .. aren't known for sharp tempers, and the church's relations to the Leaden Mace tend to be cordial&quot;


 * Miron suspects.


 * Haron Silverthrush says nothing more. He just nods and turns toward the door. &quot;Don't forget, now.&quot;

Haron Silverthrush:<font color="#000000">&quot;Safe travels, Guardians.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Farewell!&quot;


 * Haron Silverthrush closes the door behind him, leaving behind the seeds, a +1 ring of protection, the letter, and the note with the instructions.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't like this the least.&quot;

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


 * Thomas Lazarus folds his arms and offers a smile.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If it's averting some bloodshed, it's for the best. We'll just deal with the situation as best we can when we get there. Not much more we can do. It's weeks off, in any event.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Now then.. let's get packed for the ship.&quot;

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


 * Thomas Lazarus cracks open the contents of his chest. A moth flies out. &quot;(:3&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">When you're ready to go, hop over to the dock. :3 I'm just going to go grab a snack -- be back in a few!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Only the portrait is within. Everything else he owns in the world is on his back. =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Portrait get.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... That man hides.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It isn't long before Tom is done packing ( his one item).


 * Swallowtail takes the ring, but doesn't put it on just yet.


 * Thomas Lazarus heads off to the docks. :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Yes, he does hide. =3=&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Most of the people in the party are probably in the same boat.

GM:<font color="#000000">Say goodbye to HQ and Castleton for a good long while, Guardians. :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">Sszeyl takes one of the two coats Barbie left, enjoying the hood and extra layer of warmth. |3

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">No one taking the second (demon fur coat). :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Later, trogs, Rins, and assassins. =3=

GM:<font color="#000000">Though, there is one bit of business left.

GM:<font color="#000000">As you approach the docks, you can see... a dog and a hat.


 * Thomas Lazarus waves.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Miron packs his possessions into a large backpack (ofc. including the trusty brewmaker) and leaves off as well*

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">The hatted inquisitor waves back, striding up to the group quickly. &quot;Hey. Good, so you didn't leave yet.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You caught us by the skin of our teeth, brother. Anything wrong?&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nah, nothing outside of the ordinary. Just got something of yours that might come in handy ahead.&quot;

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


 * Flint Carthan hands over the platinum ring he was using during the Castle Osyluth raid.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Slipped my mind until just now.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah-hah.&quot; He smirks.


 * Landon Skar folds his arms and stands back silently, with a nod to the Guardians.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Normally I'd say keep it, if only to use again later. But I suppose that could come in handy. Alright.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Ring record~

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. Thank you, brother. Break neck while we're off!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">I spy a Terri. =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, not your own, of course.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Take care of yourselves, all right?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;(I wonder who I'll even give this to during the trip. It isn't as though anyone could possibly need it more than Sszeyl. And he's got one. =w=;)&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Else you know the lieutenant'll have such a lecture waiting for you when you get back.&quot; |3


 * Smoke bounds up and slurps Miron and Tom. :9

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You can bet on it. Few things can put down an inquisitor! We're like cockroaches.. hard to kill and a lot o the rich don't like seeing us in their manors.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus ruffles Smoke's ears. |3

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mere, boy, we've got work to finish.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;See you.&quot; Hand in the air.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Aw -- but -- work? Okay. Work is fun. I can live with work. :D


 * Landon Skar raises a hand in farewell silently.

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">As you approach the docks, you can hear a Toris talking to a younger Toris. &quot;-- and remember to brush your teeth. Did you pack enough soap?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Daaaaaaad, I'm gonna be okay.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">X3 !

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;If she didn't, we have plenty. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;And it's apple-scented.'

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh! Hi Mr. Sszeyl! And everyone!&quot; :D

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


 * Swallowtail darts up to the dock's edge, looking over the ship and the river.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Hello, Terri. :3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh? A water-farer by heart?&quot;


 * VAE is also slowly slapping Miron's sheet onto TangledWeb

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;(Atleast one of us is. =w=;)&quot;


 * Swallowtail certainly looks happy. :)

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- and that reminds me, be careful and tell someone if you're planning on going swimming!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;You've said that three times now, Papa!&quot;

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did I?&quot; ^^;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah! I counted!&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Go on! Make it four!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;So...that's a boat? =w=;;;;;;;;;;&quot;

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tell someone if you're going swimming and be careful!&quot; :B

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Please try to be at ease, Mr. Toris. I promise I'll keep Terri out of trouble as though she were my own flesh and blood.&quot; |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It should be a fun trip to see a relative.&quot;


 * Terri hugs her father. &quot;Don't worry, Papa, I'll be safe. An' I'll write whenever I can. An' love you lots.&quot;


 * Matthew Toris bends over to hug Terri. &quot;I know, hon. Love you too.&quot; He looks up at Thomas and nods.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So... this is Papa?&quot; *surprised*

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh, did you not know? I was sure that all of the Guardians knew by now.&quot; |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We're very sporadic about how well we keep and blow secrets.&quot; :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Despite being an inquisitor, it appears that i'm treated to crucial information last. &quot;

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pleased to meet you. Matthew Toris. Miron Steelsprocket, yes?&quot; :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor Steelsprocket at your service.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;So is that the ship?&quot; :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It is. They have a cat and a gigantic bird aboard.&quot;


 * Matthew Toris kneels down and holds out a hand to shake hands with the... much smaller inquisitor. He's a very tall and lanky human.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;A gigantic bird? Like a roc?&quot; :O

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Shakes his hand. Miron with the tall backpack appears almost comical*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A rock?&quot; =3=

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;A biiiiiiiiiig eagle! They eat elephants!&quot; :O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Knowledge: Monsters &#171; &#160;1d20-20 = 8 - 20 = -12&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Where's Mr. Barbarus? An' Mr. Gnogglebolt? Are they not comin'?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No, I'm afraid they've business here in the meantime.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I believe Gnogglebolt is going to be constructing a building while we're away. And Barbarus is visiting a friend of ours a bit to the East.&quot;


 * Swallowtail speaks in Amayan. &quot;(So much smaller than a corsair. Little boats for little bodies of water...)&quot;


 * Matthew Toris turns and hugs Terri again. &quot;Did I tell you to be careful yet?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Papaaaaaa.&quot; x3

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right, all right.&quot; x3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Italian Ninja-Pirates... such a cool crew! =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">(&quot;A corsair?&quot;)

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Amayan: &quot;(A ship easily two or three times bigger than this.)&quot;

Sszeyl:

<font color="#660000">*hugs the DM token!*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Don't be surprised if you get a spell-message from me once or twice just to let you know how we're doing.&quot; :3

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Okay! Let's go have river adventures!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Shall we go greet the crew?&quot;

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;It would be appreciated.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And then, Terri srs'd.

Terri:<font color="#000000">I'm a big girl! Big scary adventurer, srsly, rawr! &gt;:P


 * Sszeyl tries to picture such a ship. :.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Terri is evolving! Terri become teenager! &gt;:O

VAE:<font color="#000000">A joke I made in a lab on friday


 * Thomas Lazarus hails the crew with a wave.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Red uses Fire stone on Microstructure. Microstructure is evolving!

VAE:<font color="#000000">(steel microstructure of course)

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bye, Papa!&quot;


 * Matthew Toris waves, staying on the dock.

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hoy!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Ponders the implications of a tall, lanky man pouncing him and licking his face in dog form. Shudders.*

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

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you all ready to go aboard?&quot; :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We are. Everyone's here.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">*silently* &quot;Any of you been on a ship before?&quot;

Swoop:<font color="#000000">Good grief. That osprey's as big as Miron.

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;The cap'n's waiting for you. C'mon!&quot;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I always think of the troop transport helicopter. ^^;;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Faerie made a comment to a similar effect last night. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;More huge animals. You know.. this one looks like the bugger that dropped me off at Ossyluth.&quot;

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Watcher step!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Except he's less ... rotten&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;CAW&quot; &quot;D8&quot;


 * Swallowtail walks on the gangplank like it was the sidewalk of a city street.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">The hooded drow looks at the rickety bridge...

Sszeyl:<i><font color="#660000">Oh, this shalt not be fun. =3=;;;

</i>Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's the matter, Mr. Sszeyl?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Ladies first? ^^&quot;\

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">This clumsy 280lbs doofus made it over without event, so it can't be that bad. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Never been on jumping water, or a boat before.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mon, it's easy! Here.&quot; Terri reaches up and takes the drow's hand. &quot;I'll walk with you!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Okay. =3=;&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Miron makes it through VERY carefully, clutching the rail like it was his girlfriend*

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;There we go!&quot; :D


 * Thomas Lazarus suddenly feels way braver after seeing the others behavior. =w=;;;;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;...Why is the boat moving when it's not supposed to be moving? =3=;&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( afk for a little bit! ))

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's just the water moving! We're on the Long Road River right now.&quot; :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;--Oh, yes.&quot;

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;G'wan, go see the cap'n!&quot;

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


 * Dr. Hatari neglected to move the screen an extra 1 inch north to notice the actual captain. =3=;

Kelsey Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;What?&quot; The woman turns and blinks at Thomas.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">The Drow..shakily walks around.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's the water shaking it.. I hope it doesn't capsize&quot;

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;It won't! The Cygnet's older'n I am an' hasn't come close to sinkin'!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Walks around shakily as well. Ah, how a little sinusoidal oscillation can put an inquisitor down&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">A carefully counted out allotment of 70 platinum and 5 gold pieces. &quot;Here we are. I think.&quot; =w=

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">The kid pats the railing fondly. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;How old... are you?&quot;

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nine years old!&quot; he says proudly.

Kelsey Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh! You want my husband. He's up there.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Now how did I miss him?&quot; =3= MAPTOOLS.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It.. doesn't sound like such a long time.. especially if ... you are 147.&quot;

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're a hundred and forty seven?!&quot; :O

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wow. You're old.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;...Um.&quot;

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">x3

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Are we supposed to stay...out here for the whole trip?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah.. and well, I kinda hope to be 148 one day, too&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nuh-uh, there're probably cabins down below.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ho there! Good to see you back aboard.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ready to go?&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( back! ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Looks like it!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;As ready as we'll ever be. (And here I thought I was acting like a greenhorn)&quot; =w=;


 * Thomas Lazarus offers the fare coinpouch.


 * Jack Selkirk takes it, counts it out, then hands it off to the eagle on the wheel. &quot;Coming all the way to Resca, then?&quot;


 * Swoop takes it and flaps down over the side of the ship, into an open window, with the pouch.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yessir. Although, that brings a good point up. About how long do you expect the holdover in Lorellon to be? We were also thinking of dropping off a parcel at ah..&quot; He checks.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh figures the part I recorded didn't have the town. :P

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

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thalinde?&quot; &#171; &#160;336/96 = 336 / 96 = 3.5&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm. Just a message and short bit of business on another's behalf, apparently.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Adding in the holdovers in Lorellon, Bridgeton, and Braxton Falls, we'll be reaching Thalinde in about seven days, barring any bad weather. Thalinde is another customs checkpoint 'cause of the silk trade, so there'll be another day's holdover there. Then the last checkpoint before Resca is in Passage. Were there any other towns or places you wanted to stop along the way?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah, yes. There was.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus rifles around for a moment. :9

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">After some unpacking, Thomas comes up with the map Max and Tharky were privvy to. Thomas points out the location Max marked.

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Between Reed and Passage, smack dab in the middle of the Hills of Gilforen. What's there? Looking to hire some giant eagles or gryphons for the return trip?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Miron unpacks, and begins imbibing contents of the brewmaker to aid his stomach somewhat*


 * Miron no likey sailing.


 * You roll to yourself: 216/96 =&gt; 216 / 96 = 2.25VAE:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYxnDYGikfI Current party theme

VAE:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYxnDYGikfI

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Truthfully, I couldn't tell you. But a friend wanted us to stop by a place of his near there. The impression I got was that it'd be clearer when we got there.&quot;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fair enough. Given the holdover in Thalinde, if we don't stop in Reed, we should get there in thirteen days, weather forgiving.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods.


 * You roll to yourself: 192/96 =&gt; 192 / 96 = 2Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;From there, it's another three days to Resca... so if everything goes swimmingly, should be sixteen or seventeen days in all.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Right-o.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Shall we get this stuff below deck and get ourselves situated, then?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus glances at Swallowtail. =w=;

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;As you please! We'll be shoving off in a few minutes.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Someone seems to know where they want to be.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ever been on a boat before, Aelian?&quot;

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;'''Lil' Mat! Roll up the gangplank! We're gettin' underway!'''&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus jolts. =3=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">The Drow holds onto the railing for dear life. =3=

Aelian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Never for a long voyage...&quot; He winces at the loud voice. &quot;-- tch. Only for river crossings.&quot;

Mateo Selkirk:<font color="#000000">The kid rolls up the bridge with practiced ease and hoists it over one shoulder. :9

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;Go ahead and make yourselves comfortable. It's gonna get busy up here in a few moments!&quot;


 * Dr. Hatari keeps finding ridiculous youtube links branching from VAE's. Banana Joe what.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Aye yi yi.. let's get below decks, away from that shout spell..&quot;


 * Terri clambers up onto the platform and waves as the anchor starts to be raised.

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">Even belowdecks, you can still hear the deck boss faintly giving orders.


 * Thomas Lazarus reappears without his backpack.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bye, Papa!!! Don' worry! I'll be careful!&quot; :D


 * Matthew Toris waves from the dock. &quot;Don't forget to write -- be safe!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Terri, Sszeyl, Elros, Swallowtail? Let's figure out whose bunk is whose.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi comes back on deck, and heads to the back of the ship, smiling at Terri. She leans on the railing, and calls out. &quot;Don't worry! I'll watch her when she goes swimming!&quot;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I actually thought Ed was Terri from zoomed-out view. =w=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Now you understand why I switched tokens for Terri? :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;...I'm...I'm a bit unsure...*urk* of how I'm going to get over there.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm still a big fan of Terri's &quot;&gt;:O&quot; token. :B

Stanley Selkirk:<font color="#000000">Watch out for the chain. Two of the crew members are hoisting the anchor aboard.

Kelsey Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Wait! How many people are on board?&quot;


 * Kelsey Selkirk hastily counts.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, it isn't that bad...&quot; =w=; &quot;We're just bobbing a little in port.&quot;


 * Kelsey Selkirk runs to the side of the ship and tosses a handful of copper coins into the water. &quot;There. Now we can shove off safely.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660000">&quot;Tom, picture for a moment living your entire life living in a place with a roof, always, and where there wasn't wind to chop up water. Exactly what part of you would be prepared for this? =3=&quot;

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

Miron:<i><font color="#000000">Almost two weeks... When we'll see earth again?

Jack Selkirk:<font color="#000000">&quot;'''Haul aboard! Sails down! We're off for Lorellon!'''&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus tries that.

GM:<font color="#000000">And now, unless we'd like to continue shipboard RP, this is a safe place to call it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">About the only other thing I had in mind was the potential lulz of room assignments.

GM:<font color="#000000">Oh right... if the camera could pan away from the PCs for a moment, something that may prove amusing.

Meany:<font color="#660000">Sure. :v

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Edaric and Elros, you're in the northeast room. Also all of the animals are in your room. =3=

GM:<font color="#000000">Night falls on Yondallon 1st, a full moon's night. A group of cloaked figures, one standing over eight feet tall, faces covered with black-laquered skull masks, steals through the city streets, approaching Vigilant Guardian HQ. The shortest of the figures holds up a hand, and the group stops as a single entity.

GM:<font color="#000000">The shortest figure bows its head, and whispers words of power. Small, flittling red lights drift into the HQ's windows, peering about at the empty beds, the empty chairs, the cold fireplace...
