VAE:hmm ,42800

Liatai:Ghoooooooost. XP

Ghostwish:What. :3

TMG:what'd he do this time. :B

Liatai:By the way, I should probably tell you.


 * RAM wants to know!

Liatai:Putting messages in the fog of war usually means I miss them. :B


 * RAM has been looking, but can't find trollings...ah, that's why.

Ghostwish:XP

Liatai:Usually I stick to the player-visible area or fogged areas between spots on the map. :B

RAM:Do the rest of us get to know about trollin'z? :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, I assume Miron will need to scry today as well


 * VAE preparing spells

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Eh, he just wrote &quot;boobies&quot; in the opening area of the dungeon. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- D'OH

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

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Cultists like boobies?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I FORGOT THE TREASURE

RAM:<font color="#990000">D:


 * Liatai zips off to a treasure generator.


 * Dr. Hatari opens switchblade.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Cultists like boobies and heresy

RAM:<font color="#990000">We need Tankred!

RAM:<font color="#990000">He's in it for the bitches and the booze!

RAM:<font color="#990000">His endurance is legendary!

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">nice level 2 attack spell

VAE:<font color="#000000">Inflict minor wounds with Fell Drain

VAE:<font color="#000000">does 1 hp, but it takes a level, too

RAM:<font color="#990000">Nice.

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

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">OH

RAM:<font color="#990000">Techy!

RAM:<font color="#990000">For you!

RAM:<font color="#990000">http://cdn.smosh.com/sites/default/files/bloguploads/derpiest-ermahgerd-last-airbender.jpg

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Allright folks, I'm tossing it out there. Need 2 spells. 1 evocation, and 1 divination, level 5! Go!

RAM:<font color="#990000">Don't ask me.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ram; pfft. xP

VAE:<font color="#000000">sorry, my knowledge of wizard spells is poorer than a prostitute from Braxton Falls

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh yeah, and adding 500 worth of EXP from the last three sessions to Gnogglebolt's token that I never added...

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;41400+500 = 41400 + 500 = 41900&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

VAE:<font color="#000000">silly question, but still

VAE:<font color="#000000">Can Earth Reaver be used indoors?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well. Wall of Force is one of the most powerful and versatile evocation spells. So there's that. Tathi could also learn Fire Shield, Mass now, if she wanted. Or the very nasty Greater Fireburst.

VAE:<font color="#000000">nothing there says it can't, AFAIK, but i'm still wondering

Railock:<font color="#000000">divination? what about rar's telepathic bond. links allies. Evocationg..you probably already have cone of cold and wall of force, right?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Not wall of force.. but I think I found something nice. &gt;:)

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Fire Shield, Mass: Creatures attacking allies take damage; allies are protected from fire or cold.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Watcha think? That, or wall of force?

VAE:<font color="#000000">off to dinner

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Prying Eyes could also be handy on the divination side. Or, for a lower-level spell, I've always enjoyed Chain of Eyes, but that's just me. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Or I could kick Liatai's NPC engine in the pants and take contact other plane. ;)

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;HEY ELVEN ANCESTORAL SPIRIT. SUP?&quot;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... There are almost no 5th level divination spells. :.


 * Dr. Hatari can only find three out of all the books.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Now you're just being mean. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Yeah. Div is a small school at later levels. But it gets silly powerful.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">... DM I am so sorry but I am seriously considering Contact Other PLane. XP

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Wall of Force is sort of conditional and tactical. It's just as capable of hindering us as the enemy. Mass fireshield strikes me as more versatile. Just about every fight is going to either involve A.) Fire, B.) Cold, or especially C.) Enemies trying to hit us.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Yeah, my thoughts too.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Agreed.


 * RAM votes for Fireshield.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">And given how melee heavy we are? Yeah, me thinks mass fire shield wins.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Curses. Now I need to actually research planes. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Wall of Force is one of those things that's handier to have around to pop into an open spellslot. Or just have a scroll of it on your utility belt for a pinch.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Actually, given the fact that Tathi practically wears elven pride underwear, you could just hock up a bunch of ancestoral spirits. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">All they do is say yes or no or &quot;Ehn~? =3=&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's not that big a deal. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I somehow doubt Liatai will let it lie at that. XP

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Actually, the spell specifies one-word answers.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Well, there ya go!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;SILENCE!&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Herr Doktor's right!

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">How can you say &quot;GODDAMNIT SHUTUP TATHI&quot; in one word? :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Delete the spaces? :B *brick'd*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's implied as part of 'Tathi' *burninated*

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Allright, I think the eyes spell then. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay!

GM:<font color="#000000">Everyone here? Levelled? Fed? Watered? Rested? :3

RAM:<font color="#990000">Rested! :3

RAM:<font color="#990000">Well, somewhat at least.

GM:<font color="#000000">It's time for today's character question!

TMG:<font color="#000000">Present!

GM:<font color="#000000">... well, today's has been done before, I think. =3=

RAM:<font color="#990000">Wouldn't surprise me.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Maybe the answer has changed?

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is the best meal your character ever had?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well, statistically, probably one of Gamal's nat 20's.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Kittyfur rubbing my leg out of nowhere. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">How about this one instead? &quot;If someone tried to blackmail your character, what would she do? How easy or difficult would it be?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">W-w-w.. D8

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Blackmail? With what?


 * Thomas Lazarus complies. =w=;;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...I think I'll start with the latter question first; um, -what- have I done that's blackmail worthy? I actually make it a point to AVOID that!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I don't have much to blackmail with.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">okay where is Tathi and Aelian? XD

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


 * Shankfang the Deffrider is too honest and open to have any dirt!

GM:<font color="#000000">On the roof of VG HQ, Ghost. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Blackmail isn't -always- truthful. :P

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">You are the worst orc and gangster ever then.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And supposing such a thing did happen, well...my response (I hope) would be to put out the blackmailing information on my own terms.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Dragula now has a bicycle horn.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">They were probably on the SEEDS map.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ghost; um.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Roof of HQ. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends very much on what they were blackmailing me with, adn waht they wanted in return

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I have nothing to hide from my gangster days. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">There we go.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">That's my point!! &gt;:O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I stole some stuff, vandelized a few things...

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">they are on the roof cause you didn't haev the balls to jump ff the roof like gamal and rhy

GM:<font color="#000000">Speaking of dirt.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">There's nothing wrong with not being guilty of bad things. =3=

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is your character's darkest secret? Who else knows about it?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, let's put it this way. I work for the Leaden Mace. Suppose you sent your anonymous piece of trash to our office, what do you think is the likelihood the inquisitor receiving it would just laugh and toss it to the trash?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Blackmail me? Oh ho ho, someone's about to get extra crispy.&quot; &gt;:(

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">But, I guess if someone did manage to somehow find something, my response would be quite simple.


 * Shankfang the Deffrider double taps!

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'd hunt them down, honestly.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides, not like I have a wife or kids.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Uh...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Umm...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Darkest secret....hmm.

Red-Haired Elf:<font color="#000000">Hey, you crazy youngsters were the ones who jumped off the roof. I took the stairs like a normal person. :P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Sorry, my player isn't good at that kind of thing.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">..................... owo;;;;; What is with all this digging at my personal life, suddenly?!

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I don't really...have one...&gt;.&gt;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Well I like to be *censored* *censored* and *censored*. Aelian knows.&quot; &gt;:3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh come on, now.

Red-Haired Elf:<font color="#000000">.... though that was after climbing along the ceiling and making a stylish landing on the way up the stairs. =3=


 * Aelian turns as red as a beet.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I stole a cookie from the cookie jar once? ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like I'm going to tell you. Besides, those in the know are mostly dead, anyways. Or retired. No, i'm not telling you who they are, specially after you asked me about blackmail a minute before you Lolth-damn spider tit.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Hey! Oooooh dem's fightin' words Mr. Miron!

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">It's not seriously all 1-dimensional rainbows and idealized balloonicorns behind the scenes, is it? Everything in your entire life has gone according to plan? You have always been the perfectly respectable ideal you hold for yourself? That's not how anyone's real life goes.


 * Teeny Rin drama-mongers. =3= !!!

GM:<font color="#000000">Besides, spiders don't have tits!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">It's not that, silly Teeny Rin. I just don't have any reason to keep any of it secret.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;According to plan? Hah, no! Thing is, if I went around telling to everyone, it wouldn't be a secret, eh?&quot;


 * Tathi casts Cone of Cold on Teeny Rin. &quot;Oh really!? And where's Thomas' response, huh?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">... unless they're one of those crazy spider-centaur things. &gt;.&gt;


 * Thomas Lazarus finger-taps. &gt;.&gt;;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Yes, I was a gangster. Yes, I stole stuff, broke stuff, there was some robbery and vandelism.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I just don't hide it.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Teenyrin; well, in My RL experience....yeah, it's somewhat like that. I have a few disappointments, but that's about it...I really, honestly don't get out much. &gt;.&gt; (which ties into the disappointment, but eh. :B )

TMG:<font color="#000000">I can and -have- written chars in the past with things to hide, but only because it was a major component -of- their character. Not exactly the case with Gnogglebolt. ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look, you tentacly son of an aboleth. Driders have tits, and what are they? Spiders. Besides, I'm plenty content messing with undead abiology *snrk* to bother reading up about what lives.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Son? ... uh...

GM:<font color="#000000">*icon*

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">What gender are you anyway?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Mink.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Mink's gender is Mink.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Squiggleh. |3

TMG:<font color="#000000">It is a squiggleh. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I got to call it something. Hell, aren't male pronouns default, anyways?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Nope.

RAM:<font color="#990000">They is default.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I.. I'm not going to reveal an ongoing plot secret just for char questions! OX

GM:<font color="#000000">Hmmm. Let's assume for this question that telephones exist and your characters have them.

RAM:<font color="#990000">It is perfectly acceptable to use they as a singular pronoun when gender is unknown.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You mean we don't? o.o

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Gnoggle!


 * Thomas Lazarus holds banana. Hello? This is Tom.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">We need to invent the telephone!

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you were to use the speed dial function on your character's telephone, who would answer?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Talfeera. :3

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

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">^///^


 * Thomas Lazarus has the closest thing to a telephone in the campaign, in retrospect.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speed dial? Hmm. Prob'ly someone from Jones's rock.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Do we really need to answer?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Just you wait! We're gonna invent the steampunk telephone!

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Nope. Definitely not. ^^

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">But it won't work.. :.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Golden times with those folks. I should get in touch more often.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Family back home, Guardians HQ...uh...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The other person needs a telephone and no one else will have one even if you invent it. =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Yeah. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I thought for sure Miron's would be &quot;the town guard. There are so many drow around and somebody needs to do something about it! &gt;:E &quot; *brick'd*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides, Gradia can scry-message. *brick*&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">No one else will have one yet.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, I can walk my ass over to the town guard no problem.?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Question mark.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;I'm Ron Burgandy?&quot;


 * Dr. Hatari is now picturing a Tongues voicebox strapped to Tavia. &quot;Hello? This is dog.&quot;


 * Liatai pictured a 911 operator. &quot; Oh f***, it's the drow alarmist guy again. =w=; &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The piece of fuck that calls itself my author is telling me that was a typo. Kudos for making me sound like a nutcase.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tavia: &quot;OMG STUFF AND THINGS&quot; *charge*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Note to self, once telephone is invented and in use, never let Miron have one.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Open up your character's drawers, closet, or wardrobe and describe what you see inside.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Hey!

Miron:<font color="#000000">Besides, have you ever seen town guard arrest a drow?

Miron:<font color="#000000">That's right, you haven't. Because if it's real, you need the Leaden Mace at the job. Or the army. Or maaybe the palm.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Considering I can count the number of Drow I've seen on one hand, no.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Wardrobe?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Absolutely 0 shirts. *brick'd*

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;All kinds of clothes in the drawers, and then a collection of magical items in the closet. Also, Miron's sexuality.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Toolbelt and short, failry tight-fitting clothes. Baggier would be nicer and more comfortable, but...

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Welp, clothes in the closet and... arrows in my drawers? What the f-&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">you don't want floppy clothing when you're working in the bowels of a machine with gears the size of you. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Robes. face wraps. gloves..full body coverings

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">A wide variety. You never know what will make a good disguise.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Let's see.. there's my portrait. A lot of dust since I don't have very many changes of clothes. Some little odds and ends for maintaining armor and a blade. Perhaps my traveling backpack if we're in town for a while. Most of everything else in the world I own, I wear. Or it's in the kitchen cubbards.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Uh. Miron's chest has what, about four Mace robes, the old cloak, fur pants and coat from service up north, a host of papers with silly poems, prayers and whatever notes taken on occassion, handfuls of copper coins...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Yes, it is an ungodly mess.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">ONLY HEATHENS KEEP SUCH UNTIDY SPACES. *smites*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It would be more interesting to look at the things he carries around with him.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">A change of clothes, maybe my backpack, the guitar I bought a while back, spare lute strings...

GM:<font color="#000000">Well hey! There's a character question right there. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">What does your character typically leave the house with? :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Left coat pocket: LITERAL PLANAR KEY TO THE 9TH LAYER OF HELL.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you can't comprehend it, it doesn't mean it isin't in order.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Right coat pocket: Candies! *bricked*

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">....What do I leave my house with?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Turns head to look at Cargo Pack attacked to back

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I leave my house with ALL THE THINGS. :B

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;My clothes on, the spell book, a wand or two.. Geez I really do leave the house ready for a fight.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Gun, axe, armor, and ammo.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Lots of ammo.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Leave house with? BBB - Book, Badge and Bludgeon.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Speak for yourself, I always have my bow.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What else, usually varies. Occassionally I forget about having things on me.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can come in awfully handy.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus typically has a big old ominous grimoir or another in tow that he studies while idle in the field. There are lifetimes of valuable knowledge someone in this profession ought to know - gotta try and keep a pace.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, what? You bring out valuable books like that into the field where they can get damaged?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't say me it was from our library!!! &gt;:|&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well it's not like I wield them in combat.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Although I have seen Ragnarok professors beat down orcs with just tomes before. *booked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You never know when a traitor is going to try to dig a dagger into your back. If you must, at least take them from someone else.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">D:


 * Shankfang the Deffrider resolves to never run into these Ragnarok professors.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Hey, I'm not going to be around for five hundred years. I need to study when I can. =3=

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Clothes, lute, sword or dagger for emergencies, spell compunents, some spare change...


 * Swallowtail says nothing, but begins to take weapon after weapon out of hidden places...

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I never updated Ed and Swallowtail's equipment DX

RAM:<font color="#990000">?

TMG:<font color="#000000">I sense badthings on Lia's end--oh. xD

RAM:<font color="#990000">x3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Just give me a number.

RAM:<font color="#990000">42!

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Computation: Give it to Tom. *BRICKED*

RAM:<font color="#990000">420?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=52139

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There's Ed.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I forget.. spell DC increases with level or just stat?

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

Miron: <font color="#000000">&quot;As an aside, don't believe Tathi's remarks about my sexuality. It's just that in the big C, the chicks don't quite fawn over a Mace badge like they used to in taverns up north, besides, what with the drow running around, who has time.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">10+spell level+casting stat.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I mean character level- ah.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;35374-8400 = 35374 - 8400 = 26974&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Wait, spell DC to resist a spell?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">No, spell DCs don't give a damn if the caster is level 1 or 40.

VAE:<font color="#000000">isn't that just spell level +10?

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Which is why it's silly when we act like god-casters are going to force impossible saving throws.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The mechanics don't work like that. But oh well.


 * VAE confuzzled

VAE:<font color="#000000">but .. god casters are god casters for being able to cast high-level spells, no?

VAE:<font color="#000000">which have a higher DC, as such

VAE:<font color="#000000">ah, yeah, casting stat

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You can only ramp up really high DC spells through trickery. It doesn't just automatically roll into play for being high level.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And... Swallowtail. http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=52142


 * VAE fail at reading comprehension tonight

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ed has 22130.47 GP, Swallowtail has 26974 GP. ^^;;;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I've been better about updating Ed's sheet than Swallowtail's, but... yeah. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well Swallowtail has no stat items. So blam, right there. +2/4 gloves of dexterity, 16k. +2/4 amulet of health, 4k. Sit on the rest. +4 amulet of health and +2 belt of strength for Ed. Or alternatively to strength, upgrade his cloak.


 * Dr. Hatari prioritizes stats first. They just make the biggest difference in survival.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hm, but then who would get Ed's amulet of +1 natural armor. :.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">sell it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hadn't noticed that.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">True. Could just turn it into a wand or couple potions of Cure Serious.

VAE whispers: As an aside, since I'm feeling like giving you the rope to hang myself with, the dark secret that Miron was talking about was an operation going horribly wrong. What happened in the end was that he, and a number of inquisitors involved passed off the deceased civvies in question as cultists, got it filed up and signed off (helped one of them was a Senior Archivist), and swore not to ever talk about it. again. And then got horribly drunk, of course.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">For ''moar stats. *_*''

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... or give it to a dog. :B *brick'd!*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I think they already have some.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Adventurer's dogs. 9.9

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hey Ghostwish. How are Tathi and Aelian and their menagerie for throat-slot items? XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nah, kidding. Selling.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Throat? Hrm..

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">You mean neck? XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Throat, neck, necklace thingies. XP

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Option C is always to give it to me so I can pay off my debts. *bricked*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi has nat armor +2...

Edaric:<font color="#000000">... Do you have debts? Do you need it? :.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">You are spoiling him. =w=;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">And Aelian has amulet of con, +2

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I have debts because my friends keep giving me things. =w=;;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Always can borrow off me, Tom.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, I can't use it all for booze, can I?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">But that's exactly the problem!! XD

Miron:<font color="#000000">*frown* &quot;Since when was a fellow inquisitor and drinking buddy not leaving you in the shit a problem, now?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">No, I mean, my endless chain of debts between you and Sszeyl and Edaric and Barbarus. ^^;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#FF0000">Atleast I track all of them..

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Any bard-wand suggestions? :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oof. Suddenly, slight stomachache.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Will probably pass, though.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ed has Mirror Image once a day thanks to his lute, otherwise I'd spring for that.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hm. Could get a full charge of Silence for 4500. That can be a tactical life/death changer.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron has Silence prepared

VAE:<font color="#000000">one casting, but still useful

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That or grease, probably. Generally something that can apply its effect without giving the enemy a save. Or atleast a save that is determined by the wand itself.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Greeeeease. &gt;:3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's nastier than it gets credit for.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what's it for?

VAE:<font color="#000000">asides from being a musical

Liatai:<font color="#000000">750 GP for a full wand of Grease, aye?

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Grease can create an area where critters have to make balance checks or be halted, fall down, or (at best) move at half speed. It can also go on items and force saves over and over every round.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Why not Zoidberg? (\/) (\/)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's a lot more persistent than most level 1 debuffs.

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay! Character sheets saved, and while the DM updates tokens, let's get this show on the road!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The nice thing about DC 10 balance checks is, no one has ranks in balance and dexterity doesn't just magically become enormous by level 10. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Woohoo!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Just look at Dragons! *flame'd*

Miron:<font color="#000000">What can I say - Miron spent the evening introducing Dorf Aias to the rest of the Mace branch, and of course, ale goes with that like a bacon with bread.

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">(Balance Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+21 = 2 + 21 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;)

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">please. grease the floor I walk on :)

GM:<font color="#000000">Where we last left off in Akellon... It was Damarron 7th, the day after the festival. And there was a bunch of drowtalk.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Ja!

GM:<font color="#000000">And a bunch of hiding on the drow's part. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why do I feel I missed something important?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">There are some weeks we could just name this campaign Drowtalk.

GM:<font color="#000000">Well, one of the drow. Sszeyl seemed content to make a fuss running through town at top speed and jumping off buildings. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Roll call! :D


 * Gamal-Junayd jumped off the building as well


 * VAE lifts a cardboard roll

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">My Chi is mad focused, yo!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's hot out. =w=;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Making new spell macros. But, ready

RAM:<font color="#990000">Getting a little tired, but I can hold out methinks.

VAE:<font color="#000000">screw macros

VAE:<font color="#000000">cast spells like a man


 * Gamal-Junayd inserts a tube into ram's brain to suck all the tiredness

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oi! That stings!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Be glad he didn't stick it up your ass

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">its for hte good of hte game!

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">How can anyone consistently misspell perhaps the most common fucking word in english language.This is kinda like SPC, isn't it?

GM:<font color="#000000">Anyone want to wrap up any roleplay on the night of the 7th, or shall we move ahead to the 8th? :3

RAM:<font color="#990000">Good to go!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Unless Ghost is up for Dorf Aias antics, I'm good to go

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">as rhy is gone, don't think there is anything to wrap up at hq

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">The DM is a doof, but pretend Swallowtail was up near the roof. =w=;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hey! That rhymes!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">But, before the day's over...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+13+2 = 19 + 13 + 2 = 34&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Come on let me at least get Rose STARTED this time!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">WOOHOO!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Dorf did a lot of drinking. :3

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">...I have no idea how much progress that makes. ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Techy?

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh!

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">DC 28.

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


 * Edaric double-takes, looking up from his lute to notice Gamal. &quot;... Where'd you come from?&quot; O.o

TMG:<font color="#000000">Going to need Lia-call on this one.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;28*34 = 28 * 34 = 952&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

TMG:<font color="#000000">As we all know, standard crafting by day is in coppers. Lia and I found that was much too slow, so we bumped it up to silvers per day...which is then what we found the unofficial book EMM&amp;M game to Tinkers (and only Tinkers) as a special ability &quot;industrious haste&quot; (Gnogglebolt also has the feat -improved0 industrious haste which makes him craft in gold per day)

TMG:<font color="#000000">It's up to Lia whether -everyone- gets silvers per day, or Tinkers and Tech Fighters like Shankfang, or just Tinkers only

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Everyone gets silvers a day.

TMG:<font color="#000000">There ya go then.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Folks.. a *hic* question. Philo-philososical question.... Why... does everything good in *hic* life.. End up with a headache?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So, 952 silver pieces of progress. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:D

TMG:<font color="#000000">How much does Rose cost, again?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Out of...1100 Gold.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Er, market price?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ah, yep. So &#171; &#160;1100-95.2 = 1100 - 95.2 = 1004.8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Record that in your character/token notes

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Yyeeaa you should get some help from some folks.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Already did.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Also, yes. I know.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;WOOHOO!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Don't worry, I said I finally caught up on my -own- crafting, I can lead the charge on Rose now. -3-

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang shouts in joy!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Gnogglebolt! Hey Gnogglebolt!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm? Oh cool, you've started on the stock of that weapon you designed.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Progress!&quot; :D

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Und Hy didn' gouf it up dis time!&quot;

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

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

GM:<font color="#000000">... here's a question for the spectral one.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian gets access to 2nd level spells..

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">C'mere, greater entangle- eh?

GM:<font color="#000000">Is Trample going to hang out at VG HQ all night while Dorf gets blootered? :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(and as a side-note, Lia, I'm starting to really -know- what you meant about losing touch with Kan by not playing her for awhile due to circumstances beyond your control. -3- )

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Chust...a kouple more veeks und Hy might be able to get it fineeshed!&quot;

Trample:<font color="#0000FF">I'd suspect Dorf actually took the rhino with him. So he's parked outside of the Leaden Mace now. And I swear if Ashford wasn't on the 2nd floor, he'd be staring in his office window. :3

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Assumink Hy make progress like today every day.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Und don' gouf up hennymore.&quot; ^^;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">Ashmore. Commander Ashmore.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know, I just finished this little thing...&quot; Gnogglebolt holds up his Omniwrench. &quot;Very useful, helps with making things. I could lend it to you, or...if you want, I could do most of the legwork on crafting the gun myself.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Man, dis gun iz komplicated.&quot; @.@

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:D

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Yeah whatever Ashtree.

Tokens dropped onto map 'Tinker Workshop and VG HQ'Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Henny help vould be much appreciated!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, you did include that high-compression chamber...&quot;

Commander Ashford:<font color="#000000">This guy is Commander Ashford. :B *brick'd*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I sense a disturbance in the force.

TMG:<font color="#000000">aw, let's all just call hi Ash. :B

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ashmore, you ass.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Und de barrel iz pretty tough to drill und rifle, vith it beink so tick und reinforced...&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ass more. Because Ass you are, and more.. more's just there *hic* for the better.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;At any rate, I'm sure you've noticed I finally got this thing assembled.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja!&quot; :D

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt points to a huge land vehicle sitting in the garage-space platform.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang touches it, it breaks. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">*brick'd*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Today, Thomas is making ready for adventure. Don, don.. :9

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Now i BREAK YOUR FACE. &gt;:B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Anyway. -3-

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Sleepz now, next day the 8th.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Ja!

GM:<font color="#000000">Well, Thomas has gone to the dawn of a new day already, so let's go. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Wakin' up, joinging everyone else.

GM:<font color="#000000">Damarron 8th, and the weather is... &#171; &#160;1d100 = 24&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, we were still on yesterday? =w=;;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Aww.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">New day!! Tathi casts detect scrying!


 * RAM was hoping for Velocirapture.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">And will Tathi have time to scribe spells to her spellbook? :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">(Hatari; no problem. It was just me and Ram screwing around. x3 )

GM:<font color="#000000">Clear and pleasant!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And will Gnogglebolt and I have time to maybe possibly finish Rose? :3

GM:<font color="#000000">Play and see? :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Do need eight hours. :B

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas is up bright and early, as usual, to intercept the crack of dawn in prayer.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt heads to the dining room in the morning.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He's praying on the roof at first light.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">Breakfast time! (Profession(Cook) Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 4 + 12 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;)

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 18 + 17 = 35&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; The back alley behind the HQ is filled with lute music early in the morning. Someone's enjoying the balcony. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, yo meany.

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


 * Gamal-Junayd blames it on cleaning up after the cat yesterday

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Damage report.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">WHEN DID YOU SNEAK IN

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">'Sup, dawg.Any of that for me?

TMG:<font color="#000000">We just entered dawn of day 8

RAM:<font color="#990000">Yo Meanster!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I didn't see you connect at all. XD

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Five seconds ago.

TMG:<font color="#000000">All you missed was me and Ram screwing around. :B

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh my.

TMG:<font color="#000000">NOT LIKE THAT. DX

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Was he a fun ride, Ram?

Vuz:<font color="#000000">Sneak sneak.

TMG:<font color="#000000">DAMN YOUUUUU

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Pop pop pop pop! Thomas isn't alone on the roof anymore and oh sweet geezus here comes the dog missile.


 * Gamal-Junayd looks at the ferret...and promptly ignores it

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Oh hey, kitty.

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

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">*GLOMP*


 * TMG beats meany up and down the hall!

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Yo.


 * Gamal-Junayd looks at the cat though...and picks it up before throwing it out on the couch

Vuz:<font color="#000000">MROW DX

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

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;And stay out! Counters for food!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Tom, the grey area is actual roof, not wakable space, fyi. :B

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">I think we were taking about retconning that anyway

Vuz:<font color="#000000">As soon as Gamal throws the cat to ground, it bolts off to hide under the counter again and hisses at him.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ehn, we can still walk on that part.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I need to be able to enter as GM to mapredraw, or Lia has to do it. :B

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Kitty-Dude, chill.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Unless it's some sheer 80 degree crazy artzy slant.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...true. The roof -is- solid enough. And...yeah, flat. :

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

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Cat. out of the kitchen, or next time I use the sword.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Who needed to borrow money aside from Tom?

TMG:<font color="#000000">(by the way, ram, I am surprised you didn't react to Meany's joking. :B )

Vuz:<font color="#000000">Hssssss.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I'll have you know my interest rates are much less than Barbie's.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy don' tink Sszeyl vould appreciate dat, Gamal.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Meh.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then he needs to take his cat home to his cave.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Quel amrun <font color="#0000FF">, Thomas. Looks like Tavia is happy to see you.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus tilts and dog-hugs. &quot; I need to keep concentrating for now. I'll play later.&quot; Ruffle.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I don't mind, I don't mind.&quot; ^^

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Tavia! Come!&quot; Aelian barks in elven as he heads downstairs.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd prefer it if I didn't have to avoid ferret as well. Who's ferret is this?&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Arooo. :(

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">&quot;That's Adelaide! He's my familiar!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Morning!&quot; Ed calls up to the roof, continuing to strum. :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you keep him out from under as well?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; I still don't know how to tell them apart.. &quot; {:3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom returns to prayer.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Morning Ed!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sis, I know you liked having Adelaide mess around with me back at home, but you probably want to keep a tighter rein on him here.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy tink hyu schould chust get used to de animals, Gamal. Hy doubt dey're gun hennyvere hennytime soon.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Morning everyone.&quot;

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Dude, I'm not doing nothing!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Animals need to stay out of the kitchen.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Double negative.

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Oh! Hey! Short person! And Gnogglebolt suddenly gets a faceful of dog tongue.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">That means you are doing something.

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Shush, I have cool glasses. I can use double negatives.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ackpth! Blech! Yes, good morning to you too, doggie.&quot;

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Spark on the tongue! You just licked a 9V, Tavia.

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">C'mere, Adelaide. I don't think Gamal as an animal person.&quot;

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">*&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can be an animal person. but not when I'm cooking. Proper cooking, and dealign with animals, should not be done at the same time.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Which reminds me.&quot;

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">'Sup dogs?

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Who wants to help slaughter a cow, later? :3&quot;

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">Woof. :3

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;That sounds fun. Do you know how?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... where will we store or salt or smoke all that meat?&quot;

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

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Ya don't say? Sweet.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The cat gives Aelian a long look.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm a butcher. So yes.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gnogglebolt, is there larder? I do not even know.&quot; :.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy've never butchered a kow before.&quot; :.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh, it's easy.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;But if I describe it here, then you'll all vomit on the table.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And Gamal would be upset.&quot;

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Yo, ninja chick. 'Sup?

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... hello, tube rat.&quot; :.

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Hey, I'm a ferret, not a rat!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">brb, making a snack!

TMG:<font color="#000000">(.....yeah, I gotta google 'larder'. I've -seen- it before, and I know it has something to do with kitchen, and I thought it was a synonym, apparently not. &gt;.&gt; )

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes. anyone who vomits in the kitchen gets to clean it up, or I stop cooking for everyone.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Larder = pantry, pretty much. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Food storage.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You put food in it.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh, pantry, okay. Uh...is there a minimum size requirement?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Rather large.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">One half kitchen size.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh, specifically a cool area. Ah...

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Eventually, Tom concludes his hour of prayer. It's relatively easy to detect him walking around overhead in full kit.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Er...no, sorry. Devoting additional space to luxury-quality food storage wasn't exactly a high priority when I designed this place.&quot; ^^;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">pantry could be larger then kitchen

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">By the way Kor is still on the roof.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Obviously. Next place we get I'm designing it right, with proper attention to being a place to live in. and not just work.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... do we have any food storage?&quot; :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....yeeah, I suppose I better just dig a basement out of this place.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aside from tiny smoking cold box.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt points to the wall-mounted cupboards and the keepfresh box.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve hef de kold box.&quot; :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tiny box will not be enough for whole cow.&quot; :.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, no it won't.&quot; ^^;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;One of my minions is a miner.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Goot mornink, Tomas!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He can put a crew together.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;YoTom.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, I suppose I'll go see the city clerk today about making sure the digging is in order and we aren't sitting on something that would be bad to dig up, like one of the sewers.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speaking of plans today. What's everyone thinking of doing?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Eew.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mornin', everybody!&quot; :3

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;YoEd.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus peers curiously at the cow and expansion talk.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We're slaughtering a cow later, want in?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hopink to get zum more progress on Rose. Mornink, Ed!&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where are we going to put cow?&quot; -w-;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way, I still think we need a new place that's built from the ground up to be our headquarters. somethign to lok impressive&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm hiring another crew to expand my cave.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hey hey hey.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy'll schtill need to get her enchanted after she's built, vich vill take more time...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">In the meantime, Inquisitor Steelsprocket is wandering through the streets. It is still Trickster's feast, everyone is laughing and merry, their faces painted with bright colours... Bright purple. The tricksters appear to surround him sprouting spider chelicera from their foreheads and additional limbs from their backs. &quot;Thank you for your help rooting out the Nerullians, inquisitor. With them gone, Castleton is ours entirely. Join us in the bosom of the spider queen.&quot; a hundred voices speaks in unison. The inquisitor breaks through, and runs... a Mace patrol! It is Tom and Flint, dressed in the garb of slaughter priests. Their wrists are cut, and blood oozes out, turning into candy as it falls. They are leading someone by a chain. Gradia... she appears beaten. &quot;Inquisitor Steelsprocket... you have caused this disgrace. It is through your action that the name of an inquisitor no longer resonates fear, respect and gratitude. You and your like allowed them to wi-&quot; Thomas's face warps into that of his sister, and Flint becomes Raerael... who grabs Gradia's hair, and slits her throat, releasing a stream of rainbow.....

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We just got this new building. Let's wait for Gnoggle's experiments to blow the roof off first, huh?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Miron dreams in some kind of pyrovision!

Miron:<font color="#000000">Sweat-drenched, the inquisitor wakes up in his bed at the Mace Hostel.

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Hi Miron! :3

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I did design this place to resist roof-blowing...and yes, we've only been here for a week, Gamal.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's just obviously meant more as a workshop than an adventuring company headquarters, and we could do better for a headquarters if were to expanse.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">expand, not expanse

Miron:<font color="#000000">Not you again, lolth-damn bike.

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">You'll never be rid of me. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">You are a piece of junk metal. You don't talk, much less use psionics.

Honduras:<font color="#A14D7F">Miiiiiiron.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No one--&quot; Gnogglebolt pointedly glances at Barbarus (in more joking-accusing, not real hostility) &quot;--ever told me we were expanding in the way we are now.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">You aren't speaking to me. I don't believe you.

Venezuela:<font color="#A14D7F">You're still dreaming.

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">What does that say about you, then?

Venezuela:<font color="#A14D7F">Wake up.

Venezuela:<font color="#A14D7F"> OR I WILL EAT YOUR HANDS.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... but for now where are we going to put cow?!&quot; =w=;;;;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">You won't!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;See. reason to build a proper headquarters. Doesn't have to be now, but plans could be made. ideas talked about.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This place was designed and construction began a month ago, when we first left here on our Resca trip. Back then, there was nothing about this whole becoming a real company business.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Awfully dutiful, going from no plans to wanting to expand the largest and sturdiest building on the entire city block in a couple weeks, don't you think?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sell the cow we can't store or eat immediatly.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">You are just things and animals. You should shut the fuck up ,and keep chewing cud, or lamp oil or whatever.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Or feed it to Sszeyl's bear.&quot;

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">You're arguing with a mule and an inanimate object. I think you've got a few screws loose up there.

Miron:<font color="#000000">I am perfectly sane.It is you who shouldn't be going around bothering people.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Er--yeah. Barbarus, why are you going to go kill a cow, and it doesn't belong to anyone else, right?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Oh hey, Shankfang, you're a vegetarian, right?&quot; :.

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Mostly to get back into practice.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I need to learn to do this one handed, since you don't have minions yet.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">As an aside.. Miron's pyrovision involves a lot of drow XD

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">I'm an inanimate object. There's nothing wrong with me. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Today the Mace is planning to release and monitor that Erythnulian cultist I (somehow) caught.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja, dat Hy em.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">So WHY THE FUCK are you talking to me?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So I'll be tied up in scrying or tailing.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you gonna be okay with having a cow slaughtering around?&quot; :.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Do you belive in Magic/In a young Drow's heart?/How the music can free her/Whenever it starts?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Keep us informed, I suppose.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh hey, that's today?&quot; :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can help.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;How'd you catch this cultist?&quot;

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Don't ask me, it's your psyche that has me talking to you.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Miron probably knows more details.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles a bit dryly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well.. I was in costume and giving my fake sermon inbetween handing out candies and heckling honest-looking people.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh, ja. No problem.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;When he stepped in our fake booth and set off the obvious foot-snare.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Then started hollering about 'hey! This is a fake'!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So, that happened.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt juts slowly places one hand to his forehead.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;It's not like it's henny kind uf moral qvundry or hennyddink.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I know, right?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">HEXTOR'S SABER DICK, SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It could be worse.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You... cannot be serious. Really?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You could've caught an Evanglist.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's what I said at the time.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">evangelist*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Well, we can at least be thankful our job is that easy this once in awhile.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Okay.&quot; :3

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy chust kan' eat meat. My tummy doesn' like it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps its the gods rewarding us for the absolute devil of a time we had to Resca and back.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;.. I think I just gave myself a headache trying to comprehend how stupid you have to be to actually fall for that.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;My hypothesis was it was one of the Trickster's divine pranks, comemorating his own holiday.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang chuckles and shakes his head.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I support this hypothesis.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hopefully he isn't so stupid all the real cultists avoid him like the plague.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In any case, I'll see what the plans are.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;TomTomTom.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vouldn' surprise me.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Be back in a few hours tops.&quot;

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Want me to save you some beef cuts? :v&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">After a few minutes of lying awake, arguing with a friggin' bike, and trying to forget about the accusations he dreamt of, Inquisitor Steelsprocket rises up, says his morning prayers, and gets dressed.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">^^; &quot;Uhhh well. Some steaks would be nice, I guess!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Morning, Arlene.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Mmm, steak...

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Which kind of steak? :v&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Fillet Mignon!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm not really much of an expert, I guess. Whatever you think.&quot; :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Rump Steak

VAE:<font color="#000000">or rib steak

VAE:<font color="#000000">just about any meat does it.

VAE:<font color="#000000">especially leg meat. You can make goulash from that, yanno?

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Flank steak it is!&quot;

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You're welcome. :v&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">. o O (Wait where did he even get a cow..) =w=; Thomas decides to tackle lifes quandries one at a time, and departs for the Mace.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...and by the way, Barbarus, you still didn't answer me of where this cow is coming from...&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you intend to hunt a wild one, or are you seriously considering poaching a farmer's property?&quot; -3-

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;...Dude, a cow is like. Two gold coins.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I could buy a herd.&quot;

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


 * Thomas Lazarus flinches at the sight of a rhinocerous. =3=;;;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I -have- bought herds in the past.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What is that.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus detects evil. &gt;:o

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, tink dere's time for zum gunsmiddink?&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well. The player knows rhinos are incapable atleast. He knows because we're not extinct. So Thomas simply rubs his chin curiously and passes by the exotic animal.

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

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Wag wag lick slurp woof! :D

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">So...do we have about 8 hours to burn?

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Mooshdog. |D

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;. . . Ah well. As well as it could be, I suppose. Given I was bringing in a guest yesterday, waking up in my bed means it wasn't as bad as it could be.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Because if so, I think we can knock out Rose before the dungeon crawl!

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You're awesome, Lia. I don't think I say that enough. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">News to me that it even has an entry.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Drag drag drag!

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well enough, thank you. I thought I'd get an early start on cataloguing the scroll collections.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus stoops and dual-wields dog lovings!!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, er, mind waiting say, half an hour--aaaack let go of me you stupid tall-legs&quot; Dx

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh.. I see! Well, I don't think we're leaving the city until, probably, the middle or maybe even end of the month. If you're fine with waiting?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Oh yes!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Tirty minutes iz acceptable.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Releas'd!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Also...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shankfang, mind waiting until I get back from the city clerk's office? Thank you.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Gamal, one of your swords is complete if you want to stop by the Pearldust.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Growl hungry stomach rumbling sounds.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Castleton haes mair than enough taverns tae keep me occupied.&quot; The dwarf says with a grin. &quot;Wanna come?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Vat iz de schtatus uf breakfast, Gamal?&quot; :.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Putting in an early start, are ya? Good girl, we'll need that done before we move.. makes sure nothing gets lost or 'borrowed forever'&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Haha. Probably some time. But I just got to work and have things to do today. Perhaps next time.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Awlright den!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Remember, he who sees the sun get up handling tools will see it set handling coin.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">At any rate (not to drag the poor DM in a third direction, but...shouldn't take long at all, don't really even need to roleplay it out. ^^; ) Gnogglebolt heads to the city clerk's office to speak with a civil engineer about the location the HQ is built on and whether or not it's okay to dig out a basement with the same boundries as the building. In addition, Gnogglebolt also inquires about the possibility of in the future acquiring the surrounding underground area for expansion (without buying the adjacent buildings)

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hadn't heard that turn of phrase before.&quot; :. &quot;I'll have to remember it.&quot;


 * RAM is, technically, a Civil Engineer. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And of course, if any fees need to be paid for the digging permit or whatnot.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">More like uncivil engineer.

Gilric Golrunn:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tis been a stoatin' treat tae have a fellow dwarf aroond wi' th' richt stomach for ale 'n' stories!&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Granted, but my point stands.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">No prices listed. &gt;:d

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah! My father used to say that one.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">The area directly under HQ should be clear as long as you don't go deeper than 14 feet. As for areas nearby, you would need to talk with the property owners and possibly buy property.

GM:<font color="#000000">A basement that size, provided you have your own labor, should cost about 2,000 GP.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">But we must go deeper!!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">All as expected. Well then...Gnogglebolt lays down the 2,000 gp for the permit, and he'll get or hire his own labor separately. (deductan)

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;He was a really early riser. .. hell, the first thing that woke you up back at home wasn't the sun, but him cursing at the furnace.&quot;

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Was he a blacksmith, or a potter?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... ... ... ... ... What was your name again?&quot; |D;;;;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Movin' downstairs NPCs about. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Half an hour later, Gnogglebolt returns with some paperwork which he passes off to Miss Vesav to file away.

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

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


 * Thomas Lazarus lowers the dogs.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Omfnomfnomf...


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Cadamon. &quot;Speaking of business.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Dorf Aias!&quot; He says, grinning. &quot;Knew ye'd fergit it!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Heading into the common room and also speaking into the dining room; &quot;Alright Guardians, we are now officially allowed to dig into the ground directly underneath the building, no deeper than 14 feet and no further than beyond the wall boundries of the existing building, at any time we wish.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Would someone mind poking Railock, if he's about in chat? :3

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sorry, I was kind of tipsy.&quot; =w=;;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">I miss a line?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;However, there is the possibility of expanding the size of the basement horizontally if we speak to adjacent property owners about acquiring the land beneath them.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Gamal, one of your swords is done if you want to stop by the Pearldust.


 * Gamal-Junayd will do that. right away

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, all that's set in order. I'll call a gathering later to everyone can input exactly what they want in the basement.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shankfang, shall we continue the fine machining on your weapon?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Schootink range!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Are there any formal plans for how we're handling 'that fellow' today? Our stealth expert, at the very least, has expressed interest in helping keep things orderly.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Also...

Gamal-Junayd whispers: did I miss a line telling me that, or did you just think cause I havent done anythign lately?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">SNATCH drag drag drag!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">is pearldust open today?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:D

You whisper to Railock: You missed a line. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, how do you want to do this, Shankfang? Would you like to do the main work yourself and borrow my Omniwrench, as I'm calling it, and I assist where I can, or do you want me to take the lead?&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aha, yes.&quot; ^^ &quot;The plan is to release him at about noon, and commence scrying roughly thirty minutes later.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Yep, from 7 AM to 6 PM o'pocketwatch. :3


 * Gamal-Junayd enters the store

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy tink it vould be best if hyu take de lead. Hy kan learn more vatchink hyu vork.&quot; :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello there&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy vill assist vere Hy kan, uf kourse.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods. &quot;I had just wanted to keep someone handy like Swallowtail, or Robin, or even Barbarus within earshot. Incase he turned around and did something murderously stupid just minutes out of jail. If it were anyone else, I might say, 'no way, that would be stupid'.. but.. well..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well then...&quot; Shankfang, make a Craft (tech) check against DC 10. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Pfft, easy. &#171; &#160;1d20+13+2 = 4 + 13 + 2 = 19&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course. I don't believe I've met this Swallowtail?&quot; :.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hup, good thing I'm not taking the lead.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">That was a horrible roll.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gets +2 to his check. Craft (tech device) &#171; &#160;1d20+23+2 = 6 + 23 + 2 = 31&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; What's the DC of Rose again?

Nathaniel Toris:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good morning, Gamal-Junayd.&quot; :)

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">28.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;And how are you all today?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;28*31 = 28 * 31 = 868&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Thanks to Gnogglebolt's Improved Industrious Haste, that progress is in gold pieces.

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good good! Nummy breakfast.&quot; :9

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You've probably seen her in passing when the Guardians've all flooded in here.&quot; He holds a hand in the air, at about shoulder height. &quot;About yay big, bright pink hair, dark complexion. Very professional, very hard working. Best sneak we've got.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">What was the last remaining, shank? Subtract that.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Wait a second!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">why do I keep forgetting this...

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;You didn't waste any time, I see.&quot; Is that vague approval? ... naaaaah...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">136.8 GP left.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">No, scratch that!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I forgot Gnogglebolt's Firearms Knack

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">That's a -further- +2 to the check.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">so it's really &#171; &#160;(31+2)*28 = (31 + 2) * 28 = 924&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">There we go.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I try to avoid wasting time. Also, the mace is starting a hunt for some slaughter cultists using one fool of one they stumbled on. If I have at least one fo the blades, it will make it easier to take prisoners should we find a cell of them. And that might lead to discovering other cells.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Naturally, brother Miron's been all about trying to recruit her, but it'll probably never happen. But I digress.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Did you include the masterwork tools and omniwrench and whathaveyou?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Yeah, that's in my 'permanent' bonus

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">80.8 GP remaining!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oooh, so close.

Brian:<font color="#000000">The smith hands over the sword, sheathed and wrapped in a light cloth to protect it from dust. It has been polished, sharpened, and a faintly glowing amber gem has been added to the pommel. &quot;All that remains is to give it a key word or phrase to activate or deactivate the enchantment.&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, we can certainly use the extra help, especially if the Guardians are on board and willing to assist.&quot; :)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;BIG O!&quot; *bricked*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vow, hyu vork fast.&quot; :o

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Over the course of eight hours, Gnogglebolt works like a flash, so fast that Shankfang can barely keep up.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, I get to set such now, instead of it already beeing imbedded?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And since it will take awhile for eight in-game hours to pass (prolly around when we start cultist-hunting) Imma go afk for a bit. x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Afk, brb

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Was hoping Rose would be ready for cultist hunt, but oh well. Just one more day and she should be done.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Most are free today and probably eager to help. Although unless we start discovering anything big, I doubt there's a whole lot they can do. That would help, that is.&quot; :B

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Normally, it would have already been selected, but you arrived early in the process, so you have the opportunity. Tap the gem twice, then grip the sword firmly and speak your chosen phrase. That should set it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Close. Glass worker.&quot; The inquisitor grins, and begins to recite. &quot; Bottles, phials, tubes or rods Radan's glassware braves the odds Doesn't chip and doesn't break clear like water from a lake Tavern owner, alchemist Open up your clenched fist Spare a coin for Radan's glass It's the best that Kemmer has 

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Four hirelings, 12sp per day, they can dig about twenty feet of rock per day...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Sorry it took a little long to reply, I had trouble figuring out the last pair of sentences.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Twenty cubic feet?

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">If they were untrained, it'd be 10.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh gods now we need to determine how many cubic feet we want for the basement.

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">One phrase for both commands?


 * Dr. Hatari smashes button behind glass.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I got it...

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;One phrase for both commands?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, a cubic foot is 0.3*0,3*0.3 cubic metre

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">We can only go 10ft down.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">14.

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... It sounds as though a gift for wordplay also ran in your family, if that was your father's poetry, and here you are as an archivist, sir.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">We can dig up to 14 feet, but I think we only need 10. That should be sufficient.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">DON'T YOU DARE MENTION NUMBERS NOT IN GROUPS OF FIVE, YOU ASS.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">*shot*

TMG:<font color="#000000">Quickly measuring dimensions of HQ...

RAM:<font color="#990000">200200 is the total cubic feet we can dig out.

RAM:<font color="#990000">100100 if you're only going 10 feet.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;130*105*10 = 130 * 105 * 10 = 136500&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I think you need an x.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sheesh. &#171; &#160;136500/20 = 136500 / 20 = 6825&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; days of excavating?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Else it's two hundred thousand and two hundred feet you're talkingabout.

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Heh, it was a short rhyme we used to shout when taking some goods to the market.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&#171; &#160;6825/365 = 6825 / 365 = 18.69863013698630136986301369863014&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Hup, unless you measure different.

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmph. Well, you could set two code phrases if you preferred. The enchantment is currently on. Tap the gem once, then grip the sword firmly and speak your phrase to deactivate it, then tap the gem twice while maintaining your grip and speak the phrase to activate it, if you'd prefer that.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">wait, that's not in five-blocks. Hang on.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">So hard.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...I need to check RoE.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Basement done in eighteen years.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">You two fail

VAE:<font color="#000000">What's the basemnt's dimensions/

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Ten feet down.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I already said, danman.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Matching the width of the building.

TMG:<font color="#000000">130*105*10

TMG:<font color="#000000">in feet

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm...let me think.&quot;


 * Liatai looks up. Suddenly, maths. O_o

TMG:<font color="#000000">But, hang on...

TMG:<font color="#000000">in 5*5*5 cubes...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well. We could finish it in a lot less time than that. By either hiring more dudes, or hiring one transmuter.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;5^3 = 5 ^ 3 = 125&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Renia and Kan could excavate the basement within a few days.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;136500/125 = 136500 / 125 = 1092&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">But changelings don't exist in Akellon -- *brick'd* :B

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">How much is a Transmuter's pay, anyway?

RAM:<font color="#990000">...What are you doing Techy?

TMG:<font color="#000000">there, 1092 five-by-five-by-five cubes.

TMG:<font color="#000000">since that's how progress is made in mining

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I could get all my expansions done to my Cave in record time. :v

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">If you go strictly by market pricing?

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Two unskilled workers can clear one 5ft cube per day.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oh. :.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Skilled workers can take 10ft cubes.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Literally tens of thousands times more than a miner's pay.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">But still two workers.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">So 109 groups of two.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And you can have it done in a day.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">*HARPOON'D*

TMG:<font color="#000000">...and starting from just one cube, that then opens up more cubes that can be excavated at one time, and more, at an increasing rate...

TMG:<font color="#000000">I can apply calculus to this. o.o

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... Let's not. :B

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

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


 * Liatai just sits back and sips tea. x3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Baw! But it'

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">It's Minecraft.


 * Liatai is brick'd.

TMG:<font color="#000000">it's practice!

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay, what the hell

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hey, you want to apply calculus to mining out a basement, you go right ahead. XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">So you have a 40x30x3 m hole to build

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

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

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Hmm, Lia, could you drag in the Cave map, perchance? (:3

RAM:<font color="#990000">VAE stop trying to convert it to Metric. The D&amp;D calculations are in feet. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Unfortunately, no.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Want to see where I can expand.

VAE:<font color="#000000">20^1/3 is 2.7 feet

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">or less than one metre a side

Liatai:<font color="#000000">For I am a doof and forgot to save it in a seperate map file. ^^;;;;

TMG:<font color="#000000">yeah, sorry, but no metrics here. :B

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In any case, I'll let the others know. We can have a backup scrying ready incase, out of nowhere, the guy resists. Trackers, too. Thank you, lieutenant.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You could export it later. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">At any rate...

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


 * Thomas Lazarus looks about.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I was Minkmoding all morning, though. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is Miron not up yet?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Okay,but you are saying a skilled worker takes 8 hours (or more) to dig up a 3*3*2 feet hole?

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's silly

Gamal-Junayd whispers: do I have to actually rtemember these phrases and make sure I dont say them at a bad time?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Ed get in here and inspire competence so we can get Rose done today! *brick'd*

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hell, when I was burying my cat, I dug a hole that was half that size, and might have been an hour or so

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, maybe not half, but still

You whisper to Railock: ... Yes. :B That's why many people pick non-Common phrases. x3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Check: A Profession (miner) check can be used to indicate the progress of mining or digging operations. Excavation is represented as a fi xed number of 5-foot cubes per miner, based on the Profession (miner) check result of the lead worker (but not of the overseer&#8212;see Special). Even a pair of unskilled miners can remove a 5-foot cube of stone with 8 hours of labor, while reasonably talented workers can remove twice or even three times as much.

VAE:<font color="#000000">that seems like a ridiculously small excavation ..

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait, 5 foot cube

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's 125 cubic feet

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yes, it is.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE, we're talking mining solid stone, not digging in dirt. ^^;

TMG:<font color="#000000">I said that before.

VAE:<font color="#000000">where did you get 20 from?

Gamal-Junayd whispers: gah. evil.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and solid stone? where the fuck?

TMG:<font color="#000000">I didn't say 20. Who said 20?

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That's what the skill assumes, VAE. ^^;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Four miners can handle 20ft a day.

VAE:<font color="#000000">right, but then, it isn't useful for estimating the digging up of a basement

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Given you're mining city street and solid foundation, though...

VAE:<font color="#000000">because you aren't building on a stone platter.

TMG:<font color="#000000">And if we're digging in solid dirt, which is more likely what the ground of Castleton is, that's a +2 to the check.

VAE:<font color="#000000">a foundation isn't a metre thick

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Eh, truth.

VAE:<font color="#000000">or three feet, rather

VAE:<font color="#000000">besides, this is the middle ages, technologically

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;to deactivate....(in ignan) Blades for war. (back to common) To activate again ....(in Auran) Blades for honor&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I doubt they poured a cistern full of concrete to make a foundation

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... Nerds, please. We don't even have any plans for a basement yet. Can we resume game now? :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">which is what you'd make normally

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hatari, i'm an engineer

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Please? :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">this is a matter of professional honour 


 * RAM is getting tired and wants to play.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...I was about to go afk to work this out with calculus, but okay. xP

VAE:<font color="#000000">You don't need calculus

Brian:<font color="#000000">The gem flickers, then glows again even more brightly. &quot;Try activating and deactivating it. The gem should glow when it's active and dim when it's not.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">The problem is, you are using an absurd skill for it

TMG:<font color="#000000">We're juts using what's given, danman.

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's like rolling Athletics to tie your shoelaces.

VAE:<font color="#000000">But. It. Doesn't. Make. Sense.

TMG:<font color="#000000">But yeah. Imma go with everyone else. Let this discussion pass for another time.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Cuttimg through solid stone is NOTHING like digging dirt

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">in auran. &quot;Blades for Honor&quot; than in ignan after checking gem. &quot;Blades for War&quot; then after checking gm again, in auran &quot;Blades for Honor&quot; and he sheathes it like that

VAE:<font color="#000000">and you arent' cutting through stone when digging up the basement for a building.

TMG:<font color="#000000">No one said that.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you might as well use Craft(alchemy)

VAE:<font color="#000000">or Tumble

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We get it, enough.


 * VAE sigh.

VAE:<font color="#000000">At least.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;My thanks. If you get it done and I'm unavailable for setting the phrase, dealing with cultists for example, set the other one to the same.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hammer mentality.

TMG:<font color="#000000">....railock, your setting totally confused the hell out of me. xD

TMG:<font color="#000000">Which phrase in which language makes it Merciful, and which one makes it normal?


 * Brian nods approvingly.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Merciful - Auran, &quot;Blades for honor.&quot; Non - Ignan, &quot;Blades for war.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">if it's activated, it's Merciful, and thus blades for honor in auran. If its deactivated, it's doing lethal damage, and blades for war in ignan

TMG:<font color="#000000">lia; okay, there we go.

TMG:<font color="#000000">(railock, you still said that in a confounding way)

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;The other one will be ready for you in a week.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">but I got it now. :U

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;My thanks. I shall see you then.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd bows and heads out the store

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Doing my order last even though I placed it first and paid so handsomely?! &gt;:O

Brian:<font color="#000000">Thomas.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">he said he was getting the fast ones out tf the way first.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Yeah well UHN *Tom rolls armor in mud*

Brian:<font color="#000000">If I did your order first, I know myself. I would spend days just admiring the gem I earned instead of getting those other swords done.

Brian:<font color="#000000">Which doesn't work well with a human timeline. =w=;

Brian:<font color="#000000">NOW GET BACK HERE SO I CAN PRESTIDIGITATION THAT ARMOR CLEAN &gt;:E

RAM:<font color="#990000">Silly dragons.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I should have gone to the church afterall!!!! &gt;:P

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

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Someone explain to me why there is a rhinoceros outside.&quot; :|

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That said, you studied in a magic academy, right? How come you aren't sitting in an archive looking over snorting magic students, or researching new spells? Were your folks Mace archivists as well?&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;... and you would be?&quot;

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's a long story.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Dorf Aias! Buzz tae catch up wi` ya!&quot;The dwarf says, sticking a muscular hand out.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't worry, half the people 'round here have one to tell.&quot;


 * Ghostwish pokes the server.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what;s wrong?

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

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">The commander shakes hands with the dwarf. &quot;One of Moradin's people, by your armor. Have you business with the Leaden Mace?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh, it was quiet. XP

RAM:<font color="#990000">...How long are we gonna leave that pile of spilled coal on the floor?

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">It gives character.

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I've had a few firsthand experiences learning what happens when monsters are allowed to run unchecked in the city. The Leaden Mace advertised open positions for arcanists, so I applied.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;In a sense, aye, ah dae. Ah heard tales o' demons 'n' ither sic nasty business, 'n' learned that that adventuring group... whit wur thay cried again... Och! Vigilant Guardians! Aye!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone botched a summoning, or something worse?&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd comes back with his new blade. first thing he does is check to make sure the cat is not in the kitchen again

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">You may want to roll Diplomacy, Miron; she seems a little hesitant.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah.. hahah.. I remember now. He was there when brother Miron and I were talking business at a bar, during our journey along the river... &quot; ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+0 = 14 + 0 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Diplomacy, because Miron isn't the most socially graceful of men.

Vuz:<font color="#000000">I'm with black thing now. Or perhaps I'm just waiting for you to turn your back. |3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Let's see...

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

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">I'm still in the kitchen!

Dorf Aias: <font color="#ff">(( hold on, not done. XP ))

Arlene Morgan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Something worse. I'd rather not talk about it.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm going to be upstairs practicing, if anyone wants to join me.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Hiring two teams of four workers, 24sp a day. For eight days, at 40x5 feet per day...

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Aye, sae, ah learned thay wur headed th' same wey ah wis, oot intae Moscra. Sae ah thought ah wid travel wi' thaim, 'n' then lo 'n' behold, ah fin' twa o' em ur some o` yer lot, 'n' wance mair, ye'v git dwarves 'ere! sae, 'ere ah am.&quot;

Dorf Aias: <font color="#ff">(( that was a doozy XP ))

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Imma take this to whispers, if Lia has free brainpower.


 * Gamal-Junayd starts practicing starting with stretching, then going into a routine.

RAM:<font color="#990000">40x40x40 feet per day, actually.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oho, starting to Dorf without the translator now? x3

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

Dorf Aias: <font color="#ff">(( you use it enough, you start to memorize it. XP ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hate to rain on this parade, but...just remembered something else I ought to mention.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt can just, like, cobble a device to dig the whole basement in one day. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let's get to RP and save the math for post-game, aye? ^^;

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Yar! &gt;.3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's so hot.. =w=;;;;;;

Meany whispers: I remember that your sketch of the cave, for when I was rambling about a skylight, that the east side is much higher than the west, due to the cave being on a hill. Is there enough rock to support an entire new floor above there?


 * Liatai offers Hatari a freeze-pop.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I'm talking about my Cave, son.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Why did you leave an eye in my tea?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I don't like eyes in my tea.

You whisper to Meany: There should be. But first, game time. ^^;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Put it back in your face.

RAM:<font color="#990000">It's not my eye.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">RAM: Yar! &gt;.3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Notice the one eye in that?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Eyepatch.

RAM:<font color="#990000">The eye is there and perfectly good.


 * Meany steals Ram's eye.


 * RAM shrugs. Go ahead. It's a legally blind eye, anyway.

GM:<font color="#000000">Doo be doo doo, to speed things along, the cultist is released at some point, Swallowtail is fetched... and with this guy's Wis score he's not resisting or spotting anything any time soon. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Cultists, eh? Seen some work over the years, and no wonder. Ah well... now that you're with us, it'll be them that's gonna get the shaft of the matter, and sand blown through it too. If you ever change yer mind, feel free to talk - this old arse doesn't mind listening, and Cuthbert knows, maybe I'll ask for you if we'll ever deal with your kind of a problem.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 16 + 10 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d20+12 = 13 + 12 = 25&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for ha-has...

TMG:<font color="#000000">And as this is porbably hours into the afternoon, Shankfang and Gnogglebolt should be wrapping up the day's work...

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Yeah. That guy's not noticing -anything.- :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">And, being the usual fail me, I dropped Miron in-betwenen buildings

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Mind a cat following along, Swallow?

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">If you can be silent and not bity.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">A mostly-completed gun rests on the workbench after Gnogglebolt's flurry of crafting.

VAE:<font color="#000000">there he is!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">*bitey.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">So close to done D:

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You dropped him on top of Tom. x3

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well. That's most of that.&quot; Gnogglebolt looks up.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Hide: &#171; &#160;1d20+16 = 12 + 16 = 28&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187;. Move silently: &#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 7 + 17 = 24&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187;.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">*3*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think you can probably finish the rest yourself if you take the lead next time and I help.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Anyways, in the meantime, Miron finished chatting to Arlene, and dragged himself downstairs. Now, he's waiting for when scrying shall be needed.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ooh, almost done.&quot; :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">...barbarus is in fact technically a better sneak than Swallowtail?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">he's a fuckign cat

VAE:<font color="#000000">no surprise there

TMG:<font color="#000000">YOU CAT RACIST. :P

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Tenk hyu for de help, Gnogglebolt!&quot;

Hapless Cultist:<font color="#000000">The Leaden Mace scryers and silent tails all notice the same things... he futzes around town for a while and grumbles at bars about the Leaden Mace tricksters, gets laughed at, and as night draws in, starts heading out of town.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">You blink.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">He's gone.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Are you serious? He has half his limbs and turns into a were-weasel and was busy butchering.

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Butchering is best done in the evening.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Barbarus is to sneaking as Tathi is to Arcane (in Zairith's eyes)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;(Was I really convincing? Like, at all? I've never even seen an Erythnulian before..)&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, walking it off, is he? I wonder if this scum has taken up some cave... hell, it's a wonder the gate guards didn't grab him, the blown up pig bladder he has on his neck.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;(I certainly wasn't trying)&quot; =w=;

Hapless Cultist:<font color="#000000">He sneaks up to an old barn, looking around furtively, then ducks in -- glimmering eyes in the darkness dissuade the sneakers from getting too close. The scryers see and hear him going inside and announcing his presence loudly to other people inside, who quickly shush him.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Convincing? Well, if it was bright sunlight and I took my glasses off, and stood twenty feet away, you'd do for one.&quot;

Erythnulian Priest:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where have you been -- be quiet, Crane's been sneaking around -- you idiot.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Le make a note of the address.

Hapless Cultist:<font color="#000000">&quot;What?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus just stares now. &quot;...&quot;

Erythnulian Priest:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're being tailed.&quot;

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">God damnit, me.

Hapless Cultist:<font color="#000000">&quot;What.&quot; DX

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot; Barbarus. We should go. &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*facepalms in silence*

Erythnulian Priest:<font color="#000000">&quot;You have a magical sensor bobbing along behind you --&quot; The robed man holds out a hand and focuses. &#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 16 + 10 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; dispel check!

Hapless Cultist:<font color="#000000">&quot;WHAT.&quot;

Erythnulian Priest:<font color="#000000">&quot;Quiet down!&quot;

Barbarus: <font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Agreed.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The cat vanishes into the dark with a swish of his pimpcoat.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That is so quotable.

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


 * VAE laughing his furry arse off

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Cat and ninja steal off into the night, and the scrying sensor is shattered.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well.&quot; Tom rises.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, the fucks are going to pack it up, aren't they?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot; Crane Family Farm. They will want to know this. &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;This has worked out better than I had originally planned.&quot;

Barbarus: <font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Quite.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Even if they do, there'll be clues. Maybe more scrying ties.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We should move swiftly.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That it has. Tom, this is the sort of a thing that drunk inquisitors will talk about decades from now.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;One can hope!&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to...

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes. Early tomorrow morning, at first light. Hopefully the scouts can give us a proper heading.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( Come to think of it this scene hasn't been narrated or set. ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">...whoever it is that's nearby.


 * Thomas Lazarus regards the commander. &quot;Orders?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Works well, though..&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">When suddenly.

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">And ninjas.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hearing those dumbfucks...pity Swallowtail didn't have a bottle of Alchemist's fire, or three.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">I'm so tempted to have the dwarf comment.. like he's been standing there the whole time. XD

TMG:<font color="#000000">....huh. Not going to attack immediately, try and catch them before they can fully evacuate?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron would be all for it

VAE:<font color="#000000">but clearly, Cadamon has a different plan.

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hmm...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Dragula has a grille installed and tripled horsepower.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">All guardians ride it through a wall shouting yee-haws.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Not gaun tae root thaim oot richt noo? Whit's yer plan than, Commander?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Smoking them out like the damn corpse rats they are.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Don't suppose there's 8 hours that can be squeezed in there before we head out? :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm with Aias 'ere. Steel's forged when it's hot.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">The law of inexplicable crafting cooldowns apply!!! *bricked*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Curses!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">It's still evening shank, but we don't know what's going on. If we were informed right now, you could probably sleep and wake up eight hours before dawn. :B

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Aye, bit best listen tae yer superiors.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The only thing we got going for us is that the dumbfucks think we're the farmer. Though, might have been lying about that when he noticed the scrying.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Come oooon let us knooooow so I can sleeeep and craaaaaft! *brick'd*


 * Alberic Ashmore steeples his fingers, listening to the debate.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Every while we're waiting, the scum gets time to prepare a defense, or to leg it.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">we know where they are, we shoulds trike NOW!

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;How soon can the Guardians make ready? A spellcaster of that caliber is likely beyond a group made solely of the inquisitors stationed here currently.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd is ready to go!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;True.. but then, surprise is a weapon.&quot;

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


 * Thomas Lazarus scoffs lightly. &quot;Immediately. Last I heard all they were doing was tinkering and making steaks.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Just say when, commander.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">A ninja and a cat arrive.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Whit aboot that elf?&quot;

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Crane Family Farm. Half an hour outside of Castleton.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Wh--crap. She's not in the south, is she..?&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No cheers. A'm a dwarf.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Actually... please hold. :3

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">does Barbarus/Sszeyl still have their sending stone? :B

You whisper to Ghostwish: We're at a crux here.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">stone(s)

Dorf Aias whispers: Meow?

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">What do you think?

TMG:<font color="#000000">just checking. xP

You whisper to Ghostwish: Sending Tathi on this adventure, or Dorf? :3 Or, heck, if you feel up to it, both?

Dorf Aias whispers: Shoot. I'd have to stat Dorf rapid fast. I'd prefer Tathi. XD

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tom, a quick action will serve us better than anything Tathi can dream of doing. Besides, I've got up my ears of her bullshit.&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: x3 Okay. I can set up an RP reason to keep the elves around HQ right now.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Say, Ael? Got a minute?&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We'll see. They're fielding a magician. If she's available, that's that.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yeah, what is it?&quot; Aelian says, looking up.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If she is, fine. If she isn't, screw her with a twig.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus relents with silence.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know it's not often anyone gets close enough to you for you to need it, but you know how to work with a longsword, right?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I do. It's the just in case they get under my arrows plan.&quot;

Aelian whispers: You said level 9, right?


 * Edaric taps the sword at his side -- not his usual rapier. Seems he's swapped it out for a longsword. &quot;It's been a few years since I've used one of these, and you're better with weapons than I am anyway. Would you mind giving me a few pointers?&quot; :3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;No pun intended, 'course.&quot; :B

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian smirks. &quot;Was that a-, ah, so I thought. But sure, I can.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Going to sharpen your skills?

Hakutaku:<font color="#FF0000">They'll get the point.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Just gonna take a swing at it.

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inform the Guardians, then. We will send Inquisitor Carthan with you, in the event that they flee. Erythnulian cults often are surrounded by undead simply by virtue of their creating plentiful raw materials.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Something feels dumb in here. =3=

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor Lazarus, are you in need of magical armaments?&quot;

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

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Work? :D !


 * Thomas Lazarus glances to the sword on his back. &quot;Well. My usual sword is in the shop. I've got a well-forged but unenchanted one on me. I guess if they have strange magical beasts.. it could be an issue.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah! Smoke, you're gonna give a bunch of slaughter fucks a taste of their own medicine tonight.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Barbarus, you have stone?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Sending.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus gives Smoke a slightly grim and awkward smirk. &quot;... Don't let him eat the gore we find.&quot;

Alberic Ashmore:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor Skar should have simply-enchanted blades prepared in the stores. You may borrow one from him if you deem it necessary.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods firmly and tromps down to the armoy.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*ory


 * Flint Carthan snorts. &quot; He'll eat things out of trash cans, but I get your point. &quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Leaden Mace requests assistence taking down Erythnulian nest. Crane Family farm, half hour outside town.&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Armoy. Sounds like a pokemon. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tea time, BRB. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">There's Armaldo

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Afk 5 minutes. Auto as necessary.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and Skarmory

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Guardians, assemble!&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd is on the roof, and will go if anyone informs him

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">At any rate, with the work on Shankfang's gun done for the day, Gnogglebolt goes to chill in the common room...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... Skarmory. Sounds like a Landon pokemon. :B


 * Edaric hears the call, and carries it up the stairs. &quot;Guardians, assemble!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">and some time later, Sszeyl calls. Gnogglebolt jumps up, looking around quizzically.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's up, Sszeyl?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Consider yourself informed, Gamal. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And into the workshop, Gnogglebolt calls out &quot;Shankfang! Get in here!&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd drops over the side of the building and walks in the front door. It's faster!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I heard the call. when wre we moving out?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:.

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lets go then.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is it, Sszeyl? The cultist thing Thomas was telling us about?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh Ghostwish~

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The leaden Mace needs help taking down that nest they found. Erythnulians.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Is Kor updated? :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Yeeeesss- oh! :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB, tea.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sending: &quot;We are coming.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hrm, guess Hy'll hef to run Rose trough her paces anodder time. Vas hopink she vould be fineeshed for dis...&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">yup. Familiars don't upgrade until 11.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;They're mobilizing now. :v&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, that.&quot; And then, without skipping a beat or his facial expression changing to anything other than neutral determination, Gnogglebolt goes over his equipment in a way Talfeera has never seen before. He's pulling out a multitude of weapons, expertly and quickly checking them over to make sure they're ready, like he's no stranger to using them.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">he'd better not be a stranger at this level :)

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">It's like Elizabeth Swann taking off all those guns in At World's End.

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">&quot;...I guess you really arean adventurer now, brother.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">But in reverse.

TMG:<font color="#000000">(...pretty much, yeah. xD )

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I have fifty loaded pistols and the quickdraw feat.&quot;

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Who wants some?&quot;

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">&quot;Stay safe, all of you.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks up to his sister on Shankfang's shoulder with a calm, but firm expression. &quot;Sis...I know you've got lots of magic of your own, but it'd mean the world to me if you stayed here for now.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;From what I've heard, this one's going to be rough.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ay ay ay.&quot;

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">&quot;Okay. Just be careful.&quot;


 * Talfeera gives her fiance a sweet kiss before hopping down from his shoulder.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Don' vorry. Hy'll be fine.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Elros, miss Vesav, we're heading out on a job now, rapid deployment. You know what to do, don't tell anyone exactly where we are, just say we're away on business and should be back much later tonight.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Back! Tom arms up. +1 bastard sword get! I mean, lease!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Ammo check...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(forming up in lobby for DM cut/paste, I suppose)

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nice one you picked, Tom!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then looks at the lizard on his shoulder.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...And miss Vesav, can you watch Snarky for me?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Talfeera can help you if you need it.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Locked und loaded.&quot; &gt;:3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Right then. I'm sure Barbarus and Swallowtail are heading back to the HQ building. Let's go rendesvous.&quot; He nods to Miron and Flint.

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">(:3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;May Saint Cuthbert hold his shield over us, brothers. Let's go.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good to be back doing proper work with you again, Flint.&quot; March off!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">reading up...

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Let's wait for Lia to get back, before we say we marched off, hmm?

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh whup, forgot she was afk. :B


 * Thomas Lazarus returns to VGHQ shortly.

TMG:<font color="#000000">no wonder Tathigang &amp; Edaric isn't moving. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">You have delicious tea now?


 * Ghostwish peeks back in.

Violet Vesav:<font color="#000000">&quot; Yes, sir. &quot;

Ghostwish whispers: Oie. What level am I making dorf?

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah! At least once, there's a chance I'll pass a day without seeing any damn drow... well Sszeyl, but he doesn't count..&quot;

You whisper to Ghostwish: Equal to Tathi's -- don't bother if you're not bringing him along, though, it can wait. :3 Heck, he could come in later, even.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Move Flint, lia

VAE:<font color="#000000">they all three went to HQ, if I understood

Ghostwish whispers: Roger. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Right. We've got the go-ahead, and Flint's coming along if we need more tracking. Have our scouts returned yet?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Cuthbert bless you, Miss.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">as Thomas arrives, he finds everyone walking out the door in full kit.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello, we have.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*whistles* &quot;The Guardians got ready on time, for once.&quot;

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Crane Family Farm, south southeast, thirty minutes.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Barbarus, you are coming?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">I

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">I'm up here.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Alright. Time's wasting. Let's get moving quick.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">12, -3 on the HQ.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I see you, I'm wondering if you're coming along or if Sszeyl's coming.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. And Thomas, I don't know the exact nature of what we're walking into, but I presume rapid, but big and loud transport is not the idea?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh, yes.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">What's your ECL, Barbarus?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are we trying to head in under cover, or do we care if they see us coming?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">10.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Same as tom. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. If we won't catch this by the horns, grabbing the tail won't do the job.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Okay then. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;At this point? Hell, no.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, our proverbial cover is already blown. But I don't know how they're gonna react.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Hopefully with shock and awe.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides, if we scare them, they might do a mistake.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Maybe some abject terror, that would be nice.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Then, would you like to arrive as fast as possible, without regard for how visible it's going to be?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good thinking, Barbarus.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Should we be seeking to capture any for interrogation later?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;On someone else's farm? Darn. I'm going to have hold back on the bigger guns.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As fast as a fart leaves holey trousers.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, Gamal.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Right. Everyone, wait one minute...Barbarus, go look underneath your carriage for me, will you? Drag it out here.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus considers. &quot;Well.. it's a civilian farm.. but we don't even know what they all look like. They could find great hiding places if they had notice.. but we've got Flint and Smoke..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Cultists are like wet pants. You want to hang them out in the open.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The whole Carriage, I mean.&quot; And Gnogglebolt dives into the workshop.

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Should I get the warmules too?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If it's Erythnulians, I'll be able to see them for what they are.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Lia, need help moving carriage. :v

Miron:<font color="#000000">''Uh-huh. One of his contraptions, is it? Fuck it, I'd ride a devil to get there quicker.&quot;''

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I think we're in a league now that the mules just can't safely compete in, friend. Better not.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Uh oh, I think Venezuela heard you.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hope he knows what he's doing.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Use Tech Device: &#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 13 + 17 = 30&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; (crap, there's an error in the wiki...oh well)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">At any rate.

Venezuela:<font color="#A14D7F"> SAY THAT TO MY FACE, JUDAS PRIEST.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This .. technology of his, it does have a tendency to blow up, doesn't it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">GOD BRESS

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Five minutes later, the party hears a rumbling from inside the workshop.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">There's a scraping sound as the huge sliding door is opened, and the rumbling gets louder...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Leaden Mace SWAT team

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've actually seen it not blow up when it's supposed to blow up much more often.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">travelling in truck carriage

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; Flint just reaches down and pats Smoke.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's supposed to blow up.. and you go inside?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And a -huge- engine, bigger than even the Deffbike, comes rolling in front.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What.. we're not seriously riding on that thing, are we?&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Loud noises. O_O

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor is slightly pale.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Neat.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No no, you guys are riding in the carraige. The carriage hooks onto the back of this thing.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the devil...&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;All aboard~&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This thing pulls the carriage.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi d..don't be a coward. We need to get there q..quick.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;How fast is it?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;We are going to be shot.&quot; =w=;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You're shaking, Miron.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I.. I arent'&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not as fast as the Deffbike...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;but twice as fast as any horse you'll ever know.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(40 mph, btw)

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I.. really don't trust that thing. Thomas, do you have any enchantments against fire ready?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, shoot. We can blitz them.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This.. what's that tube there for?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Tathi. &quot;A little one, yes.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd gets on top of the cairrage. better to ride witha view

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'm afraid we might need it..&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... ah well, life's an adventure.&quot; ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy kan brink a kouple pipple on de Deffbike if hyu'd radder ride dat.&quot; :3

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">Oh gods, the dogs already have their heads out the windows.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tight spaces? You know what to do, Aelian. *pats lap*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Saint Cuthbert, hold your hand over those who are to do your holy work tonight.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do we want a few people there real fast? If so, I'll go ont he bike and make sure none escape.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(and if Barbarus bothered to look underneath the Carriage, he saw that Gnogglebolt's been busy--there's a huge mess of axels and gears that go into the wheels and link to the front, but no obvious power source...but when Gnogglebolt hooks the front of the carriage to the trucktrain, the gears underneath the carriage start moving.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Total combined weight of the carriage and everything on it is reduced to one-fourth normal, so the trucktrain can pull it.

TMG:<font color="#000000">(and the trucktrain can haul 2,000 lbs)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Arrive at the same time, Mr. Hero.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Of course I noticed.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shenkfang?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">And we'll have a talk about this later. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;You will need directions. Ride?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor is clutching the frame of the carriage, and sweating.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh god the sneezing begins


 * Swallowtail points to the Deffbike quizzically.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Uf kourse!&quot; :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... how, where I climb on?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang climbs aboard, then pats the space on the seat behind him.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hold onto my love-handles.&quot; *SO MANY BULLETS*

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tom has love handles? No way.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Kor, now you are talkign.

VAE:<font color="#000000">The rat's armour is the size of a turtle, and the shape of one

GM:<font color="#000000">And away we -- CRIPES that's fast.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Right behind me. Be sure to hold on tight, eidder to me or to de bike. Hy don' vant hyu fallink uff.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, Shankfang, keep speed with me, don't go ahead. At any rate...let's go! Lead the way, Shankfang.&quot; Use Tech Device to maneuver out of the city: &#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 13 + 17 = 30&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor's hands are white, and so is he.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And one lasy Maneuver check to go from city to farm: &#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 19 + 17 = 36&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Away

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Away!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smirks over at Miron. &quot;Hey, you guys smell something burning?&quot; She jokes. :3

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">Flint has one hand tightly on Smoke's collar and one hand tightly on the wagon's frame.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I wonder what this button does...&#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 15 + 13 = 28&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Use Tech Device!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">The giant machine roars into action, and the entire party is pulled faster than they have ever gone on the ground, unless they've previously had a ride with Shankfang.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Saint Cuthbert have mercy on your humble servants.. Saint Cuthbert drive Gnogglebolt's hand... &quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Folks... i'm .. i'm gonna be sick.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is worse than the ship.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Once the vehicles are in motion, Tom loudly intones a few spells. Sszeyl gains Shield Other! Gamal gains Magic Vestment! They both last for ten hours.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And one more at half speed...

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Be sick on Tom.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+13-2 = 4 + 13 - 2 = 15&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Use Tech Device!

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Cause if you stain anything I will fillet you here and now.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And so, how many miles out of the city is the farm? Because the Trucktrain top speed is 40mph.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron is attempting to resist.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Two miles/

VAE:<font color="#000000">half an hour wallking

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;When we're in battle, my first spell will be a nice one. Should give us all quite a good bit of protection.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Neat.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm going to get my game-face on.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Anyone that strikes you will recieve a nasty burn in turn.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Mere minutes later, the party feels the roaring machine subside to a rumble as it slows down.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't even fucking talk about burns.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Aw, come on, brother. It's still not as bumpy as hoseback!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Control Shape: &#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 17 + 11 = 28&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(and now ready for DM cut&amp;paste)

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's wrong.. It isn't even magic&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang pulls to a stop along with the Trucktrain.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh crap--&quot; Tom scrambles towards Flint and Smoke.

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">And your first opposition is --! A doddering old man with a lantern and a crossbow shouting at you, with a barking sheepdog? The Crane Farm map is available.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The cat puts his hood up, and curls into his cape. From within you hear many horrible noises. Like bones breaking and grinding.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">Better be quick, Tom, Flint just jumped up -- &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Balance check.


 * Thomas Lazarus blocks. &quot;It'sokayhedoesthat.&quot; &gt;.&gt;;;


 * Thomas Lazarus glowers at Barbarus. &quot;Say something in unfamiliar company first!&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">Well, he's wobbily upright, with sword and dagger out. &quot;He transforms into a werebeast often?!&quot; &gt;:|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">With a k-chunk, the giant machine shuts off and comes to a stop. &quot;Everyone out, we're here!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt hops off himself with his kit...and he sees an old man with a lantern.

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY PROPERTY?!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi winces, and scoots away from Barbarus.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas, is this guy one of them in disguise?&quot; Gnogglebolt whispers.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Meanwhile, during mapswitch...

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

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Waiting for Hatari.

Sheepdog:<font color="#000000">WUFF WUFF WUFFFFFF

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor crawls out of the carriage at first opportunity and.

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

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hatari hasn't loaded ye---oh. xD

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;... and what are those monstrosities?!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(snicker)


 * TMG drums fingers waiting for Hatari's connection to load :[

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, thar you are.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sorry I started very late. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">*wipes the froth off his mouth with a sleeve, and digs for his badge.* &quot;Leaden Mace.&quot;

Chicken 1:<font color="#000000">Chickens are running around madly.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">I'm sorry, the cat you are trying to contact is no longer available.

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's that?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus steps off the carriage and looks over. His blue eyes take on a bit of a glow before he even speaks a word. &quot;...&quot; ((Detect Evil.))

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">No evil detected.


 * Thomas Lazarus nods at Gnogglebolt calmly.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">Though Flint is still looking pretty murderously at Barbarus.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Try your call again later.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Leaden Mace Society? The armed fist of Saint Cuthbert's Church?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods back and steps forwadr! 'Sir! Good sir, I am so sorry for this intrusion.&quot;

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Little louder?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Please remain calm, but we have reason to believe--&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am inquisitor Steelsprocket, and we have urgent business on your property. .. erhm&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus frowns faintly at the old man. He turns back to the carriage.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The weaselthing seems to give zero fucks.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt steps closer and speaks louder.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron walks next to him.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am very sorry for the intrusion.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Barbarus. Swallowtail. It's time to move. Point us to the building?&quot;

Sheepdog:<font color="#000000">The old sheepdog blocks you from getting too close. Herding! &gt;:I

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Please remain calm, but we have reason to believe there are...ah...theives hiding on your premsis.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*badge in front of his face.* I AM INQUISITOR STEELSPROCKET, LET US PASS. NOW.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Hide: &#171; &#160;1d20+16 = 6 + 16 = 22&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187;. Move silently: &#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 19 + 17 = 36&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187;.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're not going anywhere until -- hold it, lycan.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miron, I don't think they're in his house.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Goddamn, loading took forever.

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

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

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

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot; He can't talk but you damn well owe me an explanation, Tom. &quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Enjoy de ride, Svallowtail?&quot; :B


 * Swallowtail has the same look on her face as she had when steering the galleon. &gt;:| !

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He works for the Pack. I forget their proper name.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">At any rate, Gnogglebolt continues trying to talk down the old man and convince him to go inside. We are the Vigilant Guardians and Leaden Mace, and we think there are 'theives' hiding on his property, and we will take care of them. Diplomacy: &#171; &#160;1d20+15 = 14 + 15 = 29&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yeah, I guess I do.&quot; He glares aside and back. &quot; Treating it like it's a toy and a game..&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oh lord. What's she holding onto this time?

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor? Oh! FINALLY! Adventurers and Leaden Mace!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Can I at least get off the bike?

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;You here for the haunted barn or the cursed field? We've got lots of curses to go around, these days....&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Or am I being clung?

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">She's holding onto the bike, you're fine.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Both, I suppose!&quot; Gnogglebolt says loudly so the man can hear.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Ah, good.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian glances over.. and walks over, poking Swallowtail in the side.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Dismount!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Srs! &gt;:| !

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Please, for your safety, go inside and we will take care of everything.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Umm, Svallowtail?&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve're here.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Poke poke poke.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Srs -- SWAT.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">what was the last of me you seen&gt;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Barbarus: Hide: &#171;&#160;1d20+16 = 6 + 16 = 22&#160;&#187;. Move silently: &#171;&#160;1d20+17 = 19 + 17 = 36&#160;&#187;.

VAE:<font color="#000000">you got Miron shouting at the guy? Good.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Suspicious Tom approaches the building. It gets a once-over of Detect Evil eyes, too!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu kan get uff de bike now.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron shouted loud enough to get me to server drop

GM:<font color="#000000">Well hello, adventurers.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh. Need a whisper, danman?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Uh oh.

GM:<font color="#000000">Now that you're approaching a dungeon, it's my turn again. |3

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">what did I miss?

VAE:<font color="#000000">did the old guy respond?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">IT'S THE HORSE LADY D:

TMG:<font color="#000000">I just realized you were DC'd. for a time. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">and yeah, he did.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I need that, of course

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">^^; &quot;Good to see you back with us, Swallowtail.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">whisper'd

Tokens dropped onto map 'Crane Farm'Evil DM:<font color="#0000FF">HELLO DARLING.

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

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Down, Shep.&quot;

Sheepdog:<font color="#000000">Sit. Wag.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I still maintain you should use Destania, like me

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I read that in Cruella's voice.

GM:<font color="#000000">No evil detected in the building.

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">Dog dog dog dog dog dog dog. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now, we'll have to take a look inside.&quot;

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

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Dog dog dog dog dog. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not here.&quot; He murmurs.

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">&quot;Vy does everyone react like dat ven dey ride vith me?&quot; <font color="#990000">&gt;:

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know there are concealment spells?&quot;

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh...? No cursed fields or haunted barns in there. Too small.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm sure. Let's look for another place.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt goes to Thomas. &quot;He said the fields and the barn were cursed.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We should go, now, while we still have a time advantage from getting here so quickly.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The dogs would be flipping out if there were ... 'evidence' this close by.&quot;

Sheepdog:<font color="#000000">Dog dog dog dog dog. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone should stay behind.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean, we aren't going to go a mile off.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Where was this cursed barn and fields, farmer?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">To the old man, &quot;Sir, will you please go inside, for your safety?&quot; Gnogglebolt says once more. &quot;We'll take care of these curses quick-like.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we find them, we regroup.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd looks around. how many buildings are within visible distance? how many stands of trees? how many hills? basically..how easy is it for someone to hide out here from where we are?

Tokens dropped onto map 'Crane Farm'Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">How many apples are in the trees? *hoof'd*

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Farthest ones north. Be careful, there've been red mists over the pasture lately. Hired a druid to tell me about it... he didn't come back. Lost cows to the red mist, too. Most of the animals stay away. And you'll know the haunted one. The giant vultures that landed there are a dead giveaway,&quot; he says in an exhausted, worn voice.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">oooh..apples

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, Swallowtail was there, wasn't she? Why isn't she leading the way already?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus handwaves.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You started screaming at farmers. :p&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you, sir. We'll take care of it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course! He was pointing a lolth-damn crossbow at me!&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Because she's really a DROW IN DISGUISE!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right. Looks like we're headed north. Let's move.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">There are four barns on the property that you can see, and many paddocks, with stands of trees about. The whole farm has something of a dilapidated look to it, though the animals look healthy. Mostly.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Form up for DM move?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides, how the hell doesn't he know about the Leaden Mace?!&quot;

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

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I've become Tech.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">GIVE ME TIME TO NARRATE. XD

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Someone murder me.


 * Thomas Lazarus steps a few paces away from the farmer before unsheathing his sword and bracing his shield.


 * VAE shoots Meany

VAE:<font color="#000000">Arrow to the knee!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;He does.. he called you an inquisitor.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;After I yelled to his face I am one, you mean.:

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">This guy has a nifty rapier drawn.

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's that?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh quiet down.&quot; He grumbles. Time to search!

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron takes out his mace. Not that he uses it much.

TMG:<font color="#000000">yeah, I'm putting on the brakes so Lia can properly narrate the enviornment. :B

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">And there's that fancy bastard sword from this guy.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Flintlock drawn!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miron, I think he's hard of hearing.&quot; ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">also, formed up.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And he's--holding his oversized wrench like a weapon?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Leaden Mace is who keeps you and your family safe, grandpa!&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">brb, need to feed douglas.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Miron, chill.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Come to think of it, no one in the party besides Shankfang has even seen this giant wrench before...where did it come from?

Miron:<font color="#000000">''Funny enough.. I'm calling him a grandpa, and he's likely half my age.''

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

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Need anything else? Travis Corthew'll set you straight if you get lost. Big fellow, brown hair, you'll see him. I think. Been truant lately. Shame, he's such a hard worker... good with the paperwork too...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;He's old. Let uff de gas a liddle bit.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Is that a tree, or does the soil have zits.

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh? Good with the paperwork?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Say, how long does he work for you?&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">He's dead.

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;About five years now.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm? Where's he from?&quot;

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;So good to have someone good with the paperwork. I always lose the expense forms. He takes them to the offices for me, after my wife died and my sons left... Eh? Castleton.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Tavia's sniffing about. :O

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hmm, what's to roll about that name, and whether there was someone such ever arrested?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Local, or gather info?

Chicken 1:<font color="#000000">You smell chickens, and horses, and dog.

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Dog! :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Say, what sort of a person is he? Does he go out with the girls, or drinking, what does he do when not tending to cows?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Brother, time is of the essence. Everyone on the property could've heard those engines rumbling up. Can it wait?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 5 + 9 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge (local)

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yes, while the investigations into what is likely a dead peasent are invigorating, let's get moving.&quot;


 * Doddery Old Farmer scratches his head. &quot;Takes the horse team to the city on weekends to exercise them. Don't know what he does there.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;True enough.. was just a hunch.&quot;

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dead?&quot; D:


 * Thomas Lazarus gives Tathi a flat look. &quot;...&quot;

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just saw him two hours ago!&quot; D:

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+0 = 17 + 0 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bluff, but give me circumstance bonus

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh? No, I'm the deaf one, he's young.&quot; =3=

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">The old man gives a tired, brief chuckle.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Shall we go, or make more smalltalk?&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Old man: successfully confused!!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's go, I'm done here.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#0000FF">&quot;How the hells did he hear me?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;yes, lets get moving.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Right, now, question.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Only Saint Cuthbert knows.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Yes DM, they're real.

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


 * Ghostwish runs.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's go, go, go. We're wasting all the time we gained with our method of arrival...&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Is there anyone that wants control of Flint, Swallowtail, or Edaric? :3


 * Ghostwish is already managing a party. |3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Heck, I'll take Edaric again...

VAE:<font color="#000000">If noone wants, I can take Flint

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( I'm ninja-familiar. ))

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Be careful. Bad things in the fields there.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's why we're here, grandpa.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Just keep safe. We're prepared for that.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't worry, I doubt we haven't seen worse.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, Swallowtail, you were the one who was here, it was said? Lead the way. Quickly, now, no time for subtle.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're way past subtle by now...&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Si. Field or barn first?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ready, let's hope I don't fuck up hard

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Barn. That priest was there.&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Opening books...


 * Thomas Lazarus rolls a shoulder. &quot; Keep an eye out for bodies. Little doubt he's made a whole mess of his worship into the Damned.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well.. if the barn's 'cursed', I bet our good farmer won't mind me torching it. By the way, let me know when we're on the verge of combat, and I'll show you all one of my latest spells.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#0000FF">&quot;Blast but I don't have one of the divination spells ready. I have a teleport to get home.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( That reminds me.. where did our discussion of a teleportation link between the HQ and SEEDS land? ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And you won't believe some of the things I have dug up from Spindlethorns' books, Tathi.&quot;

Primera: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Canada. ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh? Something that'll make a horror recoil, I hope?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's just look before we go blowing away buildings..&quot; =w=;

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

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( *runs over meany in his amx50B ))

GM:<font color="#000000">Following the path north, you take the path headed to an old, ill-cared-for barn. The grass around it seems dry and brittle, and even from this far away, you can see two large black shapes atop the barn.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's avoid deliberately torching the man's property unless there is literally no other recourse...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Allright, this is a damned barn if I ever seen one.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whats those things on top?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi peers up at them. &quot;Sentries, most likely.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Targets.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Reminds me of the castle.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Should we pick em off at range?&quot; how far out are they?

Skeletal Black Eagle 1:<font color="#000000">You hear a dry Common croak. &quot;Password.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tiamat's three arses.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright folks, just like castle Osylu--what the...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi glances at the party. &quot;Shall I give them the password?&quot;

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

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">If that actually is the password.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">I will laugh.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Unexpected.. but. It makes little difference.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right. here goes.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi gestures and chants, and then flings her hand forward, sending what looks to be an arrow made out of fire towards the enemy... That is, until Tathi cries out, &quot;Bragollach tel'llach!!!&quot; and it suddenly detonates with an ear-pounding explosion, dealing &#171; &#160;10d6 = 35&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; fire damage to every poor sap unlucky enough to get caught in it! Reflex 18 for half!

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">All else, it's by level, hoard number, and treasure settings.

GM:<font color="#000000">25 feet. 30 at the apex.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">ah I see that line


 * VAE can see a way to program it, but eh.

GM:<font color="#000000">... I think I see your plan. Hold on. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">If I wanted to get on top of the barn...jump/climbs?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">The Roof! it is moving!

GM:<font color="#000000">Behold! PIXELROOF. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Everything look okay from your perspectives?

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Oh god what is happening

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

GM:<font color="#000000">You can attempt a high jump, then a climb if you like?

GM:<font color="#000000">To reach one of the outer edges, it's only 20 feet high.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Just activate your rocket backpack.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh wait.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">is the roof heavily sloped? or could I probably stand up there?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Gnoggle hasn't invented it yet.

GM:<font color="#000000">You could stand up there, no problem. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">Especially with your balance modifier. :B *brick'd*

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">I can't move my token

GM:<font color="#000000">OH.

GM:<font color="#000000">SOrry. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Try now?

VAE:<font color="#000000">frack, should have used Dark Knowledge before tathi even began


 * VAE headdesks

VAE:<font color="#000000">SO out of habit of fighting anyhting


 * Gamal-Junayd attempts a jump then climb. jump autros at 35, so 8 feet high jump, (Climb Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 1 + 14 = 15&#160;  &#187;)

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

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

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Luckily, that's enough even for an accelerated climb. But you do face a problem.

Barn Rat:<font color="#000000">SQUEAK. You stepped on one of these on your way up.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">suddenly, rats, everywhere. XD

TMG:<font color="#000000">Meany: Gnoggle hasn't invented it yet.

TMG:<font color="#000000">For a second, I read that as &quot;Google&quot;. Which is funny because just last night I was reading about the mysterious top-secret Google X Lab. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">How much movement did you have left?

GM:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl, you're on deck, be ready. :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">that took 65 to get there. out of a double move max of 90

GM:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;90-65 = 90 - 65 = 25&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">So do I have any remaining movement after I'm on top?

GM:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;25/2 = 25 / 2 = 12.5&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

GM:<font color="#000000">... you have six inches. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">oh well, on the roof, doding number 2, and hopeing they dont push me off wit my weapons still sheathed. done

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Don't give the DM ideas. :P

GM:<font color="#000000">Ninja go, Hatari. :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#FF0000">Undead minions of the dark gods. Why did it have to be undead minions of the dark gods. Swallowtail draws out her hand crossbow while darting off into cover and concealment. (Double move + draw.)

GM:<font color="#000000">Where is she going?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Lag-reverting moves??

GM:<font color="#000000">Ah. :B

Aelian has received initiative.Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Fourth time is a charm.

VAE:<font color="#000000">that was the strength roll, no?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That was a bull-rush. Last line was that he's hanging on the ledge, I believe.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Which is exactly where I want him for my turn.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Lia, what are you making...

VAE:<font color="#000000">devil soup


 * RAM saw ability score rolls...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Right then. Gnogglebolt curses his usual multiple-language menagerie, and he...holds his giant wrench like a gun?

RAM:<font color="#990000">&quot;Random?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Unfortunately, he has to overcompensate his aim to make sure he doesn't hit Gamal, and the distance makes it unweildy as well. But, he tries to distract Eagle 2! BANG! &#171; &#160;1d20+9-4-4 = 18 + 9 - 4 - 4 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

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

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">is a very good question...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">That was all with one standard action, so Gnogglebolt drops his wrench to the ground and pulls out his bombchucker as a move-action. End turn.

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

Skeletal Black Eagle 2:<font color="#000000">The bird shrieks in shock -- Gnogglebolt's distraction seemed to work.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Time to get srs.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi gives out a quick shot, throwing her hands up, and everyone within 50 feet of her, as long as they're not more than 30 feet apart, gains a fiery halo over their bodies! Strike us now, suckers.

Miron:<font color="#000000">wait, that's 19, i think +5 is his Listen modifier, Spot is just +3 Wis.

RATS:<font color="#000000">Miron, Barbarus, Aelian, and Primera all spot something very strange in the roof of the barn through the flames. There are rats scurrying around... carrying what look like small water buckets? There's one that seems to be squeaing to the rest, then a flash of blue magic --

Rat:<font color="#000000">A dense blue cloud sinks over the flaming roof, and the flames are suddenly snuffed out.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">magi rats!

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And Gamal is in thirty feet of Sszeyl.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Doesn't work like that.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It isn't a 30 foot chain to anyone else.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's 30 foot area they all have to fall inside of.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So, only the core group.

VAE:<font color="#000000">so remove Aelian ,then

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">but wait

VAE:<font color="#000000">he's 30ft from Tathi

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Is Barbarus cowering or can he or Primera act?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Basically.. just think of it as a 15ft radius burst.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">But it says &quot;allies must be within 30 feet&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's how it works.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">No one ally can be more than 30 feet from any other. So Aelian and Barbarus are too far from each other to both get it.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...I just noticed Gnogglebolt is Fireshield'd.

Miron has received initiative.VAE:<font color="#000000">that's remarkably silly

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Retroactively; when the flames sprang up around gnogglebolt, he yelped and screamed! ...before realizing he's not burning alive :B

Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">My entire turn has been pre-typed for like ten minutes. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom knits his brow and frowns sternly at the undead eagles -- totally unfazed by their screeching and black magic. He half turns back and swings his arm in a half-circle, to grab the holy symbol hanging from his gauntlet. Miron, Flint and Shankfang are all blasted by a sudden golden flash that steels their resolve!! ((Cast Remove Fear. &quot;You instill courage in the subject, granting it a +4 morale bonus against fear effects for 10 minutes. If the subject is under the influence of a fear effect when receiving the spell, that effect is suppressed for the duration of the spell.&quot; 10 minutes.))

VAE:<font color="#000000">Because lynx is a dumbass, and IC Miron was unwell anyways, VAE forgot to do it before.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Help Aelian,&quot; He demands boldly before turning and marching off towards the barn. Half-ways there, a soft glow covers his body, and he vanishes in a flash! Wait.. he's further away. He's standing on the roof, ready to battle Gamal's attacker!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everyone still in one piece?&quot; Gnogglebolt says as he remains engulfed in flames.


 * Thomas Lazarus looks rapidly between the others and the thing he's talking to.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja, Hy'm goot.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd goes to the door and listens at it. (Listen Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 4 + 1 = 5&#160;  &#187;)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...which he quickly grows extremely nevrous about as he unconciously bats himself, trying to put it out, even though it's not burning.

Rat:<font color="#000000">It seems a very proper rat, at least. A little gnarled staff made from a twig and all.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Someone reading too much Redwall

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks at his blunderbuss, which still has a vial of holy water currently loaded into it. He never bothered to put in an ejection/extraction mechanism aside from firing it.

Rat:<font color="#000000">&quot;We are fine now. We owe you gratitude for destroying the giant birds, at least.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't hear anything.&quot; Does the door appear locked fromt he outside?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">First thought: Redwall? Oh god their food will be delicious.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Hey, Flint? Mind handing me your holy water? I can probably do more good with it if we see more undead.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Tomas?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">The door doesn't give very much when you push on it. The cross-bar is down on the inside.


 * Thomas Lazarus hesitantly smiles. &quot;Oh. ... Well ... you're welcome. Hey, can I quickly interject and.. (I know it's rude but) how exactly is it that you can speak?&quot;


 * VAE assumes Lia handles Flint out of combat


 * Thomas Lazarus flashes a weirded-out look at Shankfang and returns his attention to the rat. He kneels.

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

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh? I didn't get a chance to stock up, so I only have two.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:/

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You can use one, though.&quot; Holy water give.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've only got the one I've already loaded, but this thing is way more accurate than tossing by hand.&quot;

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

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">The two cats are discussing things with gestures, it seems.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey Tom! Don't stand there, we'll need to break in somehow.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Both examining the corpses, specifically the feathers.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, where is Ghost?

Rat:<font color="#000000">&quot;Through making friends with a wild-friend long ago. I am Nicodemus. I lead this colony and try to protect them from the horrors below and above.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Toooommmaaaaaaas!&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh! I understand! A druid!&quot;

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


 * Thomas Lazarus leans over towards the others. &quot;I'm talking to a rat.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the fuck?!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He's very polite and wanted to thank us.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Huh.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He's welcome.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brother, stop faffing around and help us get into the damn place.&quot;

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

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

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">SQUEAK?

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Shankfang will catch you.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;(Sheesh).&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;You want to get inside?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl, you too.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy've seen schtranger tinks. Heloo herr talkink rat!&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks over. &quot;Yes, please. We're here to try and route the dark forces that've infested the area. Although I'm surprised, it's my duty to protect any innocent person, including yourself.&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;The human people have gone below, to where the horrors reside. We can open the door from the inside.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">AND SO MY COMPUTER ENTERS THE GAME XD

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The three of you at the lolth-damn door or i'll fetch a cat.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;My companions are getting antsy.. excuse me.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ghost, +8 HP to aelian

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">checking, total of 28 for aelian?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Yep. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, could you? Thanks!&quot; Tom climbs over the edge, and lowers. He dangles for a moment by his arms.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Drop! DX

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Catch!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I damn want to see them try.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Le catch.

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">Squeak. Hello, dark one below. |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Aelian!! Stop getting yourself into such crazy situations!!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...well, no accounting for talkative wildlife, but I thank them for their assistance!&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You saying I should stop adventuring?&quot; |3

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom weighs like 280 pounds. It's good that you both caught him.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Squeak! Your speech! So elogent! Are you all familiars?

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Thomas, you're not eating enough.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Do I not get a hello? &gt;:

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I can toss you around like a paperweight.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Speak for yourself.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus stands.

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">A series of squeaks is chittered off, and a noticeable scurrying sound is heard.

VAE:<font color="#000000">One thing that'd have been funny

VAE:<font color="#000000">if &quot;What&quot; really was the password

VAE:<font color="#000000">so the dumb cultist could get in

RAM:<font color="#990000">I'm curious, what -was- the password?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;Password!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;What&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">If you can reveal it now, anyway.

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pass&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah, an apparently awakened barn rat has said he'll have the mice and such open it for us.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And says the cultists have hidden below. There are more foul things under the earth, here.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the ... how the fuck did they!?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat's nize uf him.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They don't even have fucking hands..&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus just shrugs.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. I'm surprised they survived this long, even.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd attempts to open the door soon as he hears the bar move

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We have more important concerns than that right now.&quot; |D

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Actually, a mouse's forepaws are surprisignly articulate.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Indeed!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt edges over to Thomas.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. Tom, Gamal, go in, I'll follow.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Gun up!

RATS:<font color="#000000">A mad squeaking is heard, and if you look through the gap in the double doors, you can see a tower of rats forming. One on top of the other, holding each other up, squeaking and hoisting -- and the bar moves!

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You don't think they're in league with the cultists, do you?&quot; Gnogglebolt whispers.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Gamal, say hello to the pistol pointing over your shoulder. :3


 * Thomas Lazarus shakes his head at Gnogglebolt.

RATS:<font color="#000000">Squeaksqueaksqueak! |D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They seemed scared when I was on the roof. And polite.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If they are, I'm going to enjoy bringing a knot of them to Striga.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Plus, I mean.. they're talking rats. That would just be silly.&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">Little old rat with a staff is sitting on an overturned milk bucket inside. Squeaksqueak! Make some room, brothers, sisters!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shrugs, moves to retreive his dropped Omniwrench (almost forgot about that!), and takes up position by the door.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tied by the tails.&quot;

RATS:<font color="#000000">Squeak sque-squeak!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Righto. Tom raises his shield, nods to Gamal, and throws open his side of the doors.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Bu-AH!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">O.o

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">It's.. so beautiful.


 * Thomas Lazarus calms slowly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the fuck.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;That..is a lot of rats...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat vas...onekspected.&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Six hundred, to be exact.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The weasel lets out a series of short wheezes.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;How can there be this many? I bet they eat the corpses the Slaughterfucks leave.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Is it laughing?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....fruitful, are we?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo!&quot; :D

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Pettinz for the rats!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Well, the ones he can reach, anyway.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;At the very least, I can safely say none of these are Kor's kids.... right, Kor?&quot; She says, looking accusingly at her rat.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">I DENY NOTHING.

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor looks disgusted.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, but don't leave Kor alone for even five minutes or there will be his kids in there...&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:20 lagcheck?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">By the way, with how much time has passed, you can safely say the fireshield winks out.


 * Thomas Lazarus invokes a light of Venya spell! Glow~

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... now I've seen everything.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:o

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat's a lot!&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">brb nature calls

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;A curiously round number.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Elf moves too slow! &gt;:O Kor promptly hops down, and skitters across the floor.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah.. Mr.. Nico, was it? Is there pehaps anything you can tell us about the dark forces below?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Moar pettinz for the rats he can reach! :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Oh, and Kor is all armored up in rat-turtle-shell, is he? :B

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( :20 ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Mr. Nicodemus.. I have to ask. Is a druid responsible for your ability to speak?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">How did I not think of this?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actually, you haven't seen Linc the size of those blackwings, and fucking talking blink dogs.&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">Squeak squeak. ''Hello there. I take it you are a familiar? My name is Nicodemus. Yours?''

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gamal: Best HQ in the city? Not good enough. Need a skyscraper. We will be the Walmart of adventuring companies. Tathi: AW HELL NAW &gt;:O Barbarus: Zero fucks given. About anything. Ever. Even if it's a good idea. Miron: Someone within a square mile radius of the crime scene? FUCK YOU IN THE NAME OF THE LAW.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Sqyeak sqyeak! ''I am Kor the Magnificent! Are you a familiar to one of these terrible tall ones too?''


 * Thomas Lazarus seems faintly amused by the ratversation.

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;That among other things, elf-person. Thank you for destroying the black shadows above... even if you did nearly burn down our treasury in the meantime.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... *noms for ratversation* :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just stares at the squeakity rats.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Hyu hef a treasury?&quot; O.o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi nervously chews on a finger. &quot;Terribly sorry about that.. I had this place marked as a cursed barn, not someone's home!&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">Squeak squeak squeak, chuckle. No, Kor the Magnificent, we are but simple rats, living off the land.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hatari, it was more like &quot;FUCK OFF IN THE NAME OF THE LAW&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Flatly, &quot;Told you we should check, then blast.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Squeak! Squeak! ''But how do you speak their disgusting tongue then? Most of our beloved brethern cannot manage it!''

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course. When the horrors came, we began to stockpile, in case they blocked our access to food and water, or any other luxuries. As they have done.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Who knew the shit can dodge so well.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I believe wile clmibing I may have almsot stepped on one of you. I am sorry for that, I was simply seekign to gain the roof as fast as possible to battle the birds.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( Kor reminds me of North Korean propaganda films. ))

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yeah, well, you're a buttface.&quot; Tathi says, sticking her tongue out at Thomas.


 * Thomas Lazarus handwaves indifferently. =w=;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Justin will recover, I have seen to him.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Huh. Fair enough.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( his arrogance is just as transparent. :P ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd have set the place on fire myself, if I could.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi can be an idiot, but this time she was well right.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi glares.. and snaps her fingers. Miron's firey halo is getting way, way too close for comfort. Ouch ouch hot!

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">Squeak squeak. Making friends with a wild-friend has its benefits.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, vith henny luck, vunce ve klear de ebil vuns out, hyu'll hef free access to you food und vater supplies again.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We arrived her as quick as we could because the horrors below already know we are coming.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey! Augh! I'm agreeing with you, you twat!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;And I'm just helping you get some of that gross bodyhair off.&quot; &gt;:3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you give us any important information about their capabilities? Otherwise, we need to proceed as quickly as possible before they escape or dig in.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I hate to interrupt, but.. are there more? In these fields, on the surface? Or are they mostly below ground, now?&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then we shall make way. Are any of you injured?&quot; The rat looks at Thomas. &quot;Their masters are below, and most of their abombinations, but the dread blossoms that came to devour their waste remain outdoors.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's nothing wrong with body hair - it's just you elves looking like kids all their life.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hee!

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dread..blossoms? &quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lia took my advice

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:o

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is that some kind of fearful flower?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus looks back to Miron and Flint. &quot;You guys know what those could be?&quot;


 * VAE recalls mentioning them

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Squeak! Squeak squeak. ''Ah ha! So that slave driver of mine was right. A druid! But these vile folk are dangerous to you? They starve you!? I will order their deaths!'' &gt;:O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Dread blossoms??&quot; Tathi asks, musing. Applicable knowledge?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sort of. A particular plant species that lives from corpses&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;A dangerous species of plant from lands far beyond that feeds upon the dead and immobile.&quot; Planar or Nature nowledge would tell you more.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 9 + 9 = 18&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; Knowledge, nature!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 10 + 9 = 19&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; knowledge planes!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I see. Well.. atleast we do have most of them trapped. That's good.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If something live shows up, they float up in fucktons at a time, and try to make it dead.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not like I recall much else..&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">Squeak, squeak squeak. ''Just be careful to not become one of their victims. They torture and kill any that they can find. We have already lost hundreds to them.''

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 10 + 6 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge (planar)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Don't worry. This is our job. We've done it half a dozen times before. Be safe while we work.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're a little bigger than your sort. Besides, I heard defoliation by fire is a solid way.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tathi knows what Miron's said. Aelian knows that they have a poisonous pollen that paralyzes those who it comes in contact with, and that they drain the blood of the immobile. They also grow very quickly, but fire and cold are best at stopping them, as well as bludgeoning weapons in a pinch.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Disregard Tom's line. Didn't realize it was in Rat.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Folks.. we might want to deal with the blossoms as soon as we can. They spread fast, and they're poisonous.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Same with Miron's line

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Edited response: &quot;What?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Can't you use bold?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, what.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak! ''They will die screaming! None shall harm our brethern!''

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mmm, if you think it's worthwhile. I'm loathe to leave the bard unguarded, though. Don't want them to escape.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;They're.. hideous. Nature always finds a way, but it's not always pretty. The blossoms can paralyze anyone who touches them.. and then they drink the blood.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus raises his brows. &quot;Oh.&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">The rat's whiskers twitch a few times, then he slides off the bucket, surrounded by a small group of larger rats. Squeak squeak. I beg your pardon, Kor the Magnificent, but I smell fresh blood on one of your elf-people.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's because ninety percent of the time, damn nature is out to get someone, and three quarters of that, the someone is a bunch of folks who just want to do their jobs.&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Excuse me, red-furred elf-person. Are you injured?&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Squeak. ''Oh. Her mate. He got beaten up again. He'll heal.''

RATS:<font color="#000000">WAIT NO

MORE RATS:<font color="#000000">THOSE ARE CATS

RATS:<font color="#000000">AND WEASELS

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Just a little.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">LOOKIT ALL DAH LITTLE FURRIES. :O

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">I want to sniff all of you.

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF.

TMG:<font color="#000000">hup, brb. And I wonder, is this ending soon?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I hope no

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;The creatures below are dangerous. May I?&quot; The little rat walks forward, surrounded by a small group of worried rats watching the dogs and cats and weasels.

VAE:<font color="#000000">because well, prob'ly last session I can get in before a long time in the future.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian raises his eyebrows, but kneels down.


 * Thomas Lazarus gives the animals a 'BE GOOD' look. 8|

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">SO MANY NEW SMELLS.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi catches Thomas' gaze, and smirks. &quot;Don't worry Thomas, or Nicodemus. Elven hounds won't hunt anything smaller than a wild boar.&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">The rat begins a soft chant in the language of the druids, before touching Aelian's ankle. A soft blue glow spreads over him; &#171; &#160;2d8+7 = 12 + 7 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; damage healed!


 * Thomas Lazarus simply folds his arms.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Poof! Full heal. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come on. We can chat with rats later. Those fucks downstairs could set up a barricade while we stand here.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus raises his brows again. &quot;Quite a magician, friend.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Wonders.. Thank you!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;He's kute!&quot; :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Pettinz?

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you need help with any barricades, do feel free to call upon us. They do not plan very well for intruders the size of simple rats.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Those dread blossoms.. are they spead all over the field?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll keep that in mind.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Squeak! Squeak! ''Ignorant, smelly gnome! Do not speak to my people that way or I shall gnaw your nose off!'' He looks fucking adorable shaking his mousey paw in his armor.

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( XD ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi, your goddamn rat has a seizure.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Really? Well Kor, sounds like you have some work ahead of you.&quot;

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

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">Pat pat. :3 &quot;They are in clumps, but as they can fly, they can be anywhere within the field. They stay close to the dumping grounds of the horrors below. When the scouts last returned, they reported four seperate patches.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hrm? No. He's always like that. He's making some interesting comments concerning your mother, however.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They can fly, too?! There's such a dangerous flower??&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*frown* &quot;One time more and i'm sending *you* gift-wrapped to Braxton.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So...once we take out the foulness below, we have to clear up some flying, fearful flowers?&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. They look similar to red poppies with black and gold flecks.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No, really, he is. Kor's mouth is just as filthy as yours.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm pretty sure Gradia can make you into a week's worth of rations for Striga.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">And a goat and a leper-prostitute too!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well.. we should probably go below first, regardless. They had a magician. He can prepare all kinds of things, given more hours.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;His mouth, maybe, if he keeps digging around sewer shit.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Demon-binding, not least of all.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Finally some sense, Tom.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja!&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">A fiery tongue and a fiery spirit, I see. Squeak.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">mumbled to himself &quot;Fearsome flying Flecked Flowers?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's bloody go, the flowers won't run away, unless they fly.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, the flowers are an unintelligent and nonreactive threat. We should deal with active threats first.&quot;

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good fortune. Be careful.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy hef a vole lot uf ammo to burn trough!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&gt;:3

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;The stairs below are in the far back and on the left from here.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Nicodemus, if I may, do you have any idea how many of the evil ones there are? Perhaps an idea of what forces they have at their disposal?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus explores close by Gamal.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Guess it's time to start opening...stalls?&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd checks to see if the door is locked

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Left.. okay.&quot; Tom waits for Gamal before pushing open the door and peering defensively.

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Their numbers change every day. They kill their own, they kill intruders, they kill those they bring in the carts, they raise the dead, they kill the dead, they recruit more, they kill again. It is a vicious cycle.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Gun up!

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Squeak! Squeak! ''I go to glorious battle! They will woe the day they crossed Kor the Magnificent!''


 * Gamal-Junayd has baldes at ready

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Onward, my pointy eared stee-OW

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yeah, no Kor.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Sounds like Erythnulians, alright.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">''She ALWAYS gets the nose! Accursed slave driver!''


 * Thomas Lazarus frowns at the trap door.

Nicodemus:<font color="#000000">&quot;There is one below, one of the undead that can create other abombinations. They use it to guard the door, and its spawn.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well..anyone watching that door is gonna know were here the moment we open it. So..pop it open and we go in fighting?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">*Click*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep. I propose I go in with Tom first-hand.&quot;


 * Dr. Hatari is trying and failing to get sight and light on Swallowtail.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Liatai and you fish her out of the darkness for me? XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">she's south of you. O.o

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">She's behind Tom.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh great, prolific undead. The worst kind. But, this is what we're 'paid' for...&quot; Gnogglebolt cracks.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy'm ready to rain lead!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Wasn't my doing. Thanks.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like the Mace ever screwed you over, Gnogglebolt.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I hate to say it, but this is a very good place to stop.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">When I click her, I lose all vision period.. =w=;; ?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I actually agree.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Change her from NPC to PC.


 * VAE sigh. Ah well.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Thirded. I'm tired.


 * Gamal-Junayd mumbles in ignan &quot;Blades of War&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....what did that have to do with the Mace? I was just commenting on undead that make more of themselves.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">It's...9 AM forme now. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hmm, and yeah, I've got chores I need to get to...

RAM:<font color="#990000">Not much point in going to bed now. x3

TMG:<font color="#000000">So, I'm all for stopping here, even if I won't be around next time.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I heard a complaint about pay, but anything goes..&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... rat scouts and mages? Rats with treasuries? You never know what you'll find...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;... 'pay' as in it's literally our job to deal with this kind of thing.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or at least, so we've taken it up as our job.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, at least Kor gets to be useful for once.&quot; :3

GM:<font color="#000000">I've got to scroll up to grab earlier noms. Anyone got more? :3

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">I represent that comment. Squeak.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Not dat it's a bad job, mind hyu.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Nicodemus - Just for being pure awesome. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Doesn't matter. We got to get the shit to lay still ,and arrest those who made them.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Nope, none since the chunk I posted...

VAE:<font color="#000000">I think I'm nomming Kor

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Are you disagreeing to agree or something?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">for creative insults and Kor the Magnificent

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dangerous as hall hell, yah. But so mhenny perks!&quot;

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">North Korea Kor. XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">Kor-ea

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's what I said. That's what we're here for.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So we bloody are!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now, shut up already.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You have to admit. Adventurers make a ridicolous amount of money.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Someone clearly doesn't have his day.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja, ve do!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Note to self.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Pay a Druid to make Fuzzy talk too.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Difficult task that, Sszeyl.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">But he can already talk.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">He says MRRHGRAAAAHNG

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Would we really want to hear whats said though?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Druids typically care little for money. You might have to do them a favor.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides, who'd want to deal with them?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I got a full arse of druidery ever since we went to Redtree.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Mmmm, did they give you wood, Miron?&quot; Tathi says amidst a fit of giggles.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">x3

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian facepalms. &quot;That was bad, Tathi.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh come on, he walked right into it! Like a human in the bush!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's a good one!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot; No offense. &quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus meditates for a bit. It's not like we're about to fight evil divine anchors and undead or anything.. :B

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">How long it take for a wizard to replenish a spell or two?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Replenish? 8 hours. &gt;:E

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Eight hours/

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Fuck shit balls ass damnit.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Actually, wondering the same. or rather, replacing two unused ones with different unused ones.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Fortunately for me.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">My tricks replenish each encounter.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I thought we were ending? :B

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">83

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Closing RP. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">If the spell has been prepared, I believe that's that. You can fill an open slot in 15ish minutes, however.

Miron:<font color="#000000">hmm, good to know.

Miron:<font color="#000000">meh, who knows. The True Seeing might well come in handy.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">allright, let's shut down. :3

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Wait!

RAM:<font color="#990000">Noms!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Wait!

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Pft, who needs XP?

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