RAM:Whyfor cursing?

TMG:I had a dream last night.

TMG:You were trying to convince me to drop the Dark Side rles from Saga again in it.

TMG:*rules

Meany:Which reminds me.

TMG:Quiddit! Dx

RAM:<font color="#990000">They'restupid and arbitrary!

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Ram, still planning on hiring those hookers that Tech just talks to?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">They're also the rules.

* TMG slaps Meany. Dx

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">They may be stupid and arbitrary, but god help you if you break them.

* Ghostwish peeks in.

* Ghostwish stares.

* Ghostwish walks away.

* RAM kicks god in the balls.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I don't need the help of an illogical, random, arbitrary superbeing.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">All we're missing is Doktor.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And VAE, if he can make it.

TMG:<font color="#000000">afkz for a little

GM:<font color="#000000">Oh hey I stepped out to get a meal and -- what just happened. =3=;

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

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

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Well yes, it does seem that way.

GM:<font color="#000000">I'mma be right back, I'm gettin' a sammich.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">-Crap-.

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

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Does anyone know if maptools is working with java7 yet?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Not I.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">There's a mod I want to use in minecraft.. but it requires java 7.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I might be able to make it, with just a hour or two random absence

VAE:<font color="#000000">if I stay here and leave the cats alone for the night, just feeding them. Yes, my fail family is gone again.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">The forum says there's a way to force maptool to use java 6.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=19503

VAE:<font color="#000000">Now, the question is, what's been happening and is it worth it?

Railock:<font color="#000000">waht mod ghost?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">We just got done with the dungeon.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Liatai? Show VAE... the note. *evil grin*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And should have +12k gold.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Autotool.

VAE:<font color="#000000">arrested the buggers, or killed them? and what note?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Ah ha!

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">http://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&amp;t=19503

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Did I not just link that, a minute ago?

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Most of them are dead, yes.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">rofl, sorry meany, so you did. I was searching for it when you did. XD

* Meany pats Ghostwish.

GM:<font color="#000000">Actually, there was only one death during the Guardians' assault on the temple, if you don't count Primera's near-death experience.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Was so refreshing.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">A Watchful Cultist Primera decapitated.

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, what does Lia think?

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Okay, seriously, you're creeping me out with the refreshing thing.

GM:<font color="#000000">Everyone else was arrested alive.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anything to be gained by me being here ,much?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Great!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Eh, your call. This session is mainly going to be catching up and timeskipping about. We could possibly squeeze in Miron's birthday and departure if we don't get bogged down.

You whisper to Ghostwish: ... What note? ^^;

VAE:<font color="#000000">that'd be good.

VAE:<font color="#000000">As an aside

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">So is doktor unable to attend due to obliteration?

Ghostwish whispers: The slander note, silly! Quit forgettin' stuff, that's MY job. ;)

VAE:<font color="#000000">isn't there still going to be cleaning up the field?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Wait, Hatari won't be here?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Doktor is going to likely be a few hours late.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">ah, good enough

* Meany will assume +12k flat until he pops in. :v

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's just - if Miron's birthday is gonna be handled at all, he's one of the folks that should be there.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Since IC Tom is one of the few Guardians who don't hate him.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Shankfang doesn't hate him!

GM:<font color="#000000">Aha! Now I remember. Nobody but Tathi and drunk Aelian have seen this IC... but prepare for textwall.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Barbie and Sszeyl don't. Barbie enjoys tormenting Miron, and Sszeyl respects Miron.

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

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I like pretty much everyone. {:3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Then I suppose, replace everyone with Tathi and Gnogglebolt

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Miron understands duty very well and gives me things to do. He is entertaining. I don't dislike him. =3=

GM:<font color="#000000">Textwall inbound!

TMG:<font color="#000000">I return--ohboy

GM:SEEDS OF CATASTROPHE Elvenkin of Castleton and surrounding areas, we implore you to THINK TWICE before joining with the SEEDS PROJECT and its founder TATHI EYLLISAEARSITHEK VIOLENCE and IMPULSIVE DESTRUCTION Baron Adalbert Digby of Thalinde found himself CHARRED after making a passing remark about Tathi Eyllisaearsithek's pleasant appearance. She then proceeded to throw arcane power wantonly into the surrounding areas, destroying a nearby merchant's stall. &quot;It's a blessing that Baron Digby was the only one injured,&quot; said a local guard. &quot;We could very easily have had deaths.&quot; Eyllisaearsithek was heard afterward wishing to MURDER the baron, and actively seeking him out to attempt such. ENEMY OF THE LAW This was not Tathi Eyllisaearsithek's first brush with the law. She has DESTROYED and DEFACED Leaden Mace property on numerous occasions.Also, the SEEDS PROJECT is NOT OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED by the Kingdom of Akellon. Despite its center being in the heart of the human kingdom's territory, Eyllisaearsithek has made no overtures to ANY local nobles, NOR has she sought official recognition or sanction to create her proposed sanctuary. Legal issues and territorial debates are sure to follow. Given Eyllisaearsithek's usual reactions to legal troubles -- THREATS, EXPLOSIONS, and PAYING OFF CLAIMANTS -- this does not bode well for her project or any who choose to trust in her fledgeling leadership ability. ALLY OF LOLTH'S CHILDREN In addition to her VIOLENT and UNPREDICTABLE nature, TATHI EYLLISAEARSITHEK and SEEDS co-founder AELIAN CYADARITH have been seen openly ALLYING and FRATERNIZING WITH DROW.Coralline Aramathea, a high elf and respected member of Castleton's art community for twenty-three years, recently was threatened by a DROW in her place of business. During a trial held in the court of Vandria Gilmadrith, the DROW threatened to KILL ARAMATHEA'S KIN and DRIVE THEM FROM CASTLETON AND SURROUNDING AREAS if she did not do as he demanded. Aelian Cyadarith and Tathi Eyllisaearsithek AGREED TO ASSIST THE DROW in this, and have frequently been seen IN THE COMPANY OF LOLTH'S CHILDREN, DEFENDING their pestilent presence in our fair city and beyond. Elvenkin of Castleton, we implore you, think carefully. Do you truly want someone like this to LEAD a sanctuary for our beleaguered people? Is THIS who we want as our public face? Is someone like TATHI EYLLISAEARSITHEK the one you want to trust with your LIVELIHOOD, FAMILY, and FUTURE? ''CONSIDER CAREFULLY before joining with the SEEDS PROJECT and TATHI EYLLISAEARSITHEK, lest you feel the FLAMES OF HER FOLLY. '' This free public service announcement is published by Foresthaven Press for the education and wellbeing of all elvenkin. 4892 Nightbird Road, Castleton District 9, Kingdom of Akellon TMG:<font color="#000000">...Question.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Why link this in mainchat for all to see when it hasn't been seen IC for all to see yet? &gt;.&gt;

GM:<font color="#000000">Because Ghost wanted VAE to see it. =3= *brick'd*

TMG:<font color="#000000">Also; danman, you've got another tag to modify your script to accept. /center, it looks like.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Because I thought it would be a good reason for VAE to be around. Pay attention. :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">She has DESTROYED and DEFACED Leaden Mace property on numerous occasions

GM:<font color="#000000">Heck, if we wanted, Miron could encounter one of these on patrol; the Burning Mountain's been handing them out like candy. =3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">does this refer to the door?

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

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Door, windows... :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">I love the way it's written

VAE:<font color="#000000">well done lia, well done

* VAE attempts to recruit Lia for the SCP Foundation

* Shankfang the Deffrider makes note of the address on the flier.

* Shankfang the Deffrider uses said address as target practive.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I barely have enough time to write my own stuff VAE XP

RAM:<font color="#990000">...Who's the Burning Mountain?

VAE:<font color="#000000">That doesn't mean you'd likely have a bright future in store for you at the sire

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

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Elvish terrorist group.

VAE:<font color="#000000">doesn't not mean

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Targets? &gt;:3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Shankfang would need to ask one of the elves, probably.

* VAE fails

VAE:<font color="#000000">Okay, Miron is better at recruitment than me

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anywayss, shouldn't there too be a cleanup of the field, once we start?

VAE:<font color="#000000">and did I drop

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

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

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Palm's taking care of the field, as far as I know.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;WE NEED MORE FIRE.&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Speaking of, what time of day is it? Afternoon, right?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The players got sick of the dungeon. =3= *brick'd*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's nighttime.

VAE:<font color="#000000">who called them?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, grah.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Danman; oh yeah, after bagging the leader, we called in the Palm and castleton guard to clean up the stragglers and do mass consecration

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He has them on speed dial.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ah. hmm, allright.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Despite Tathi's protests that they do it themselves for loot. XP

VAE:<font color="#000000">that said.. hmm. if we're gonna timeskip a lot...

RAM:<font color="#990000">And Shankfang's.

GM:<font color="#000000">I plan to open with a timeskip.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I'm busy trying to write an SCP-J

GM:<font color="#000000">BE WARNED.

TMG:<font color="#000000">We got the loot already, guys. xD

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Five years later.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Ooo, how much of a timeskip?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ach! Gm!

RAM:<font color="#990000">So much loot and Exp, wasted.

GM:<font color="#000000">WHAT.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt talking to Flint! Remember?

VAE:<font color="#000000">so ... if there' anything needing Miron's attention, notify me elsewhere.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">I -wanted- to do that end of last session but there wasn't enough time

Railock:<font color="#000000">may we assume we picked up whatever gear and such?

TMG:<font color="#000000">and I asked whether it would be a better idea to do it during the week and you said no. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Yeah, could we query the DM on this? Was there more loot to be had? :3

GM:<font color="#000000">Ahem. Please hold.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">(Railock; aside from copper-piece crapequipment. And yes, I remember the DM posting an extra lootchunk. Hatari recorded it all. We'll have to put lootz aside until he returns. )

* VAE still pissed he missed all of the fighting. Blah.

VAE:<font color="#000000">So, anyways

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lia, owl, you got me on skype

VAE:<font color="#000000">so notify me if i'm needed

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, Tech, first calm down. Someone of Gnogglebolt's Charisma would likely realize that asking someone an involved question in the field after a long mission nearing midnight might not be a good idea. =3= Gnogglebolt can do it after the timeskip, our first timeskip is just going to be four days.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what's gnogglebolt's cha?

GM:<font color="#000000">17.

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

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">I know, it doesn't seem like it.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Well, he would do it the next day, then.

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's like, the most incongruent.. hell, he must be a NLP expert

GM:<font color="#000000">Gear can be picked up after timeskips. Again, the first timeskip is only four days, and I kind of want Tom to be here to pick up his sword. :P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And I can do without the ribbing guys, thank you very much. -3-

VAE:<font color="#000000">and &quot;The Game&quot; instructor

RAM:<font color="#990000">Nah, Techy just has no idea how to play a peopleperson. :B

* VAE imagines gnogglebolt running around pubs, negging chicks

VAE:<font color="#000000">and wondering why he gets smacked

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

* VAE sticks out tongue at Tech

RAM:<font color="#990000">Heh, ye neg.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">So. Have Gnogglebolt go to the Mace on the 12th, when we'll be picking up. Okay?

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I'm torn.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Lia, I just said, why not the next day after everyone's gone to sleep?

VAE:<font color="#000000">hah! Maybe he's just very ,very pretty.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And again, I -asked- if this would have been better to do during the week...

RAM:<font color="#990000">Because we're trying to get somewhere.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Tech. Stop trying to interrupt the flow of the game!!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Bishie gnome

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Having the focus of the Bane (Dragon) enchantment, versus the more broadly useful Magebane enchantment, which has all the functions of the normal bane.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Because LiaGM says so.

GM:<font color="#000000">Because PLOT.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Well, fine, how about everyone els plays on the 12th while I play parallel back in time.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Because then you'll *make* me Miron sit there, writing a report on what happened

RAM:<font color="#990000">Because -no one else- has anything they want to do the next day except you.

GM:<font color="#000000">Tech, I am not time-splitting my attention.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Also, because PLOT!

VAE:<font color="#000000">and intercept him

VAE:<font color="#000000">and make sure he won't get time to speak to flint alone.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Tech, why are you so adamant on having your meeting on an EXACT day at an EXACT time???

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Because he's jus that much aware of Gnogglebolt being dangerous.

TMG:<font color="#000000">But fine, fine.

GM:<font color="#000000">In all likelihood, Flint is a very busy fellow and you'll likely not catch him off patrol until the 12th.

* Meany looks at arguments.

* Meany lols.

GM:<font color="#000000">So nyah.

VAE:<font color="#000000">so make your pick, tech :3

RAM:<font color="#990000">LiaGM: 1

RAM:<font color="#990000">Techy: 0

VAE:<font color="#000000">eh, that's expected

* Ghostwish dons pom poms, a cheerleader's outfit, and starts cheering liaGM

VAE:<font color="#000000">GM that doesn't win such arguments is a failgm

VAE:<font color="#000000">did I drop again?

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You're here.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">... how the heck did I open Drow of the Underdark instead of 365 Character Questions? =3=

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">remember the bot?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">you can get random questions off chat now

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">and .charqt

VAE:<font color="#000000">second is for today's

* VAE wrote that module for a reason

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your character wakes up in his home and smells smoke. What does he do?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">PRI. STOP TRYING TO COOK, DAMNIT.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did I leave the Collector running again?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I tell Flint to get his fucking dog off my bed, that's what.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... did we not do this one already? &gt;.&gt;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Is this before or after I flip the fuck out because I live in a tree!?!?

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">IS BOILED WATER.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I smell smoke all the time in my cave.

* Liatai reads Miron's answer. Rereads.... .... *SNRK* XD

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Yeeeeah. We live in a tree, so that's cause for some very swift action. Find the source and pray it isn't a blaze.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">OH SHIT FIRE OH NO OH GARL GOTTA GET OUT NOT AGAAAAAIIIIIN! D: Smoke:<font color="#000000">Hi Miron! :D

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">It's heated by two fires, one for the bath, and one for the downstairs. They're never all the way off.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You, yes.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;What are your character's beliefs regarding death and the afterlife?&quot; An odd concept considering people can -go- to the afterlife using magic, buuuuuut~ =3=

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">I hear Arborea is very lovely..

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">It is. OW! What was that for!?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">The afterlife can be cool, I guess. Depending on which one you go to.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Still too soon.

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">It'll happen when it happens. |3

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Is good place to visit. Makes one appreciate life more, si.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is the one major regret your character has about his life so far? Does he plan to do anything about it, and if so, what?&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Blowing a chance to make friends or defuse conflict because my player's modifier is not as high as mine. :(

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I regret being captured. I do not regret being saved. I will need to find some way to salve my honor before returning to home.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">I regret causing my lord enough stress that he sent me away.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Parents dying in a fire is pretty high up there. Not much to do about that, though.

Railock:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not being there to save my parents&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Oh lord. Where should I start? Distant past, not so distant past, or immediate past?

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">None so far, no.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">I regret being too cowardly to let my brother kill me, and instead making him fight for it.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">... I regret not being able to save Aelian from that cone of cold. Though damn it, I know there's not much of anything I could have done -- and that just makes it harder to cope with. Even though he's back. Must get stronger. I have to if I want to be able to protect anyone.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Beliefs... it's pretty certain. 'll end up up there, in Saint Cuthbert's basilica, answering prayers and helping his servants down here. And i'll meet again with all of the Mace folks that I remember... You know, good thing they don't have booze up there, or I'd be considering a switch. *grins* That was a joke, I'm not staying dead while the frigging lolthian haven stands.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Regrets.. once again, there's a bunch.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I regret speaking up all those months ago. Perhaps then I'd still be training to be a border guard, and not with dragons, and elves, and idiotic peasants.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">not dealing with*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">The rabble. The poor people as a group that don't -want- to understand, that enjoy their ignorance.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not being able to help my family is a big one.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">That come at me, expecting me not to murder them, and being surprised when I do.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">:|

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does your character want power or authority of any kind?&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Not really, no.

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">I'd like authority, but not power, gracias.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Do I want it? No. Does SEEDS require it? Yes. So there you have it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's also switching from Jones's Rock to the big C. I miss those folks.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Power? Yes. I want the power to protect people. Authority? ... nnnnnnnot really. I'd be a bad magistrate. I'd be off playing my lute or wandering instead of getting things done. =3=

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;None of the sort.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Renown over any of those. though power and authority do tend to help bring renown if carefully managed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I am not to be trusted with authority yet.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Ooh, tricky one. I do want the power to protect and help people, as for authority...

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">But power I have in spades.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I prefer to serve an authority rather than being the authority.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Well, the main thing I want to protect is gnomes, and that starts by heading the construction of a new city, which is by definition authority. So I just take it as it comes.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is said that every good soldier carrying a marshal's baton in his sack. I'm a good soldier.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*soldier's

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Power is a flame -- it can be useful, but it is very easy to harm oneself and those nearby with it.

GM:<font color="#000000">Last one for today... &quot;Does your character know how to hunt or fish? Is he good at it? Does he do it for recreation or for food?&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Heh heh heh.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">No.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Enough to get by.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Not atall.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Not really, not really, and I'd do it for both if I could, I suppose.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Aeeeeeeliaaaaaan... =3=;;;; Can you help catch dinneeeeeer?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have a...basic understanding. and can do it for food. but am not very skilled.&quot;

* Edaric is brick'd.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">You already ate! &gt;:|

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I can hunt.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I can fish.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I do not do it often.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Mostly by wandering in an animal's territory, letting it attack me, then brutally murdering it.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know how to in principle. Especially with a few choice spells I know, i could get by. But sitting over a pond with a stick in my hand isn't my idea of fun times.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">I can hunt, and I can fish! :3

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">No. =3=;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">Can I hunt, the squiggly asks. Heh. Animals, people, and abominations alike. |3

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">It's my job. But it is pretty fun.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Hunt? :D Yaaaaaay!

GM:<font color="#000000">Mmkay! So! Where were we.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Setting fire to random buildings.

* Miron missing on all the fun because my player's a fucking moron.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Shut up! You'd have guarded those rats anyways!

Miron:<font color="#000000">They could have been rats of erythnul! He's known as the many, and what better emphasises that aspect than a flood of bloodthirsty mammals

GM:<font color="#000000">Ah yes, it was the evening of Damarron 8th, and the Erythnullian cult under the Crane family farm had been routed successfuly!

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Yaaaay!

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;36043-150 = 36043 - 150 = 35893&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

GM:<font color="#000000">The cavalry has been called in, and over the next few days, all of the monsters hiding in the catacombs of the farm have been killed or driven out. With the help of some Guardians, perhaps; I know Aelian mentioned doing dread blossom extermination.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Most certainly.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Yep! I believe Gamal came along to help.

VAE:<font color="#000000">let's say Miron was there too

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">He got an area effect spell recently

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Eh, sure.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yes I went with aelian

VAE:<font color="#000000">(as in, a good one)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt would have assisted, 'tis the job after all.

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

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">So yes, was there too.

GM:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 52&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Shankfang have you ever tried shooting a thousand flowers. Does that really do much damage? ;P

RAM:<font color="#990000">Damn, still no velocirapture.

GM:<font color="#000000">It's been a few days, and some elven business has been conducted since then... please go to VG HQ or to Leaden Mace HQ, for it is... the Dawn of a New Day!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">If you aim well, yes.

GM:<font color="#000000">Damarron 12th, and -- BRR it's cold! I'll be hiding in this nice warm shirt, thank you.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Mink, get out of Tapewolf's shirt, you big ninny.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Moving Miron into library for that purpose

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">-Wait.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Pop. Tathi gang arrives!

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">in the Mace HQ

VAE:<font color="#000000">and now

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Ach DM, you forgot the cart and trucktrain D: Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Hello again, mules!

VAE:<font color="#000000"> If there'll be RP involving the leaden mace, please alert me on skype and/or IRC

* Shankfang the Deffrider clears his throat.

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;'Quel amrun, Violet. Anything interesting happen while we were away?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Honey, Hy'm home! :3

Violet Vesav:<font color="#000000">&quot; Good morning. It's been quiet and calm here, ma'am. Is it still cold outside? &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Shankfang, Rose is definitely done by now. We can prolly roll retroactive crafts for the last four days later. :B

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">TACKLE!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(I know Gnogglebolt will be cranking out a whole bag o' bombs...)

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Quite nippy, but I've always been fond of the cold. How's life been treating you?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 19 + 18 = 37&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Strum~ Ed is hanging out in the kitchen, where it's nice and warm. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">(Correction, it's been built. Now it's being enchanted.)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(Wait, We haven't -seriously- been gone all the last four days I don't think, ghost...)

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(( how is that even relevant? ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(We returned after midnight of the raid and spent the next four days going back and foruth, and now here we are)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(oooh, wait, Tathi's prolly been at SEEDS the whole time. Sorry.)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(Just that her wording seemed out of place until I remembered that. My abd.)

Violet Vesav:<font color="#000000">&quot; Quite well, thank you. I wonder when we'll get our first major snowfall. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*my bad.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB, sorry. ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Shouldn't be long now.&quot; Tathi says, smiling before she heads into the common area.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Vedui'il'er.&quot; Tathi says in way of greeting.

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

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

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">The old guy in a scarf, black silk clothes, and a huge white coat just hanging off his shoulders waves.

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Mah coat finally came. |U ))

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Sszeyl why are you Genry&#363;sai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Because I murder people, that's why.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You're not nearly awesome enough to be him.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hatari; in a nutshell for when you've loaded; we did character Qs, then we timeskipped four days. In the intervening four days most of the guardians shuttled back and forth to Crane farm to help out with monster-clearing, consecration, and extermination of the dread blossom swarms.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">We'll fix that.

TMG:<font color="#000000">We're starting four days later, morning of the 12th

VAE:<font color="#000000">So, unless needed, Miron is currently on regular Mace duty

VAE:<font color="#000000">filling reports, cataloguing books, patrolling

VAE:<font color="#000000">and yes, I do check this every so often :3 I am a distractible fellow

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">brb!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">The bard pokes his head out of the kitchen upon the greeting. &quot;'Quel amrun -- aha! Aelian! And Tathi. Just the elven folk I wanted to see. Got a minute?&quot; :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Swan Song, why do you have a humongous beard?&quot; =3=

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oh, Lia!

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The loot twas crunched.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">165744.5 total / 13 = 12749.57 (Miron, Tom, Flint, Edaric, Swallowtail, Aelian, Gnogglebolt, Shankfang, Tathi, Barbarus, Primera, Sszeyl, Gammal)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Everyone got 12,749gp and 57sp.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Rose has been dropped off to be enchanted.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;6974+12749 = 6974 + 12749 = 19723&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's been mostly doing crafting the last four days, and also checking out to the Leaden Mace to try and talk to Flint, who has apparently been patrolling nonstop the last four days. And so, today, he passes by Violet and tells her he'll be out for an hour again, and heads to the Mace once more.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">5 SP, 7 CP. :P

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1700+12749 = 1700 + 12749 = 14449&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And lo, did the crunching commence. :B

* Shankfang the Deffrider has 34829.27.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt knocks on the Mace door an enters the hostel. &quot;Hello there, again. You said Flint would be done with his patrol today?&quot; Gnogglebolt says to the person at the desk, Cadamon apparently.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Anyway, unless there was something specific you wanted for Rose's enchanter, Shankfang just had anyone do it. He's not picky.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh hello Edaric! Need something?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Wait wait wait a moment, gotta resettle in. x3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Er, is having.

* Liatai is nomming at a furious pace! &gt;:9

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

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

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">...wait, food, or roleplaying bonuses? :B

* TMG is confused!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Pasta, peas, ham, and onion. So food. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">(This is why I always thought it was weird we called it 'nomming' &gt;.&gt; )

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

* RAM fox-snatches!

VAE:<font color="#000000">sounds tasty ,too

GM:<font color="#000000">Your call whether you want Tom to be at Mace or Guardian HQ, Hatari. I've put him at Mace HQ for now.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Because I must be less conspicious now.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Carry on. Bed is good for now. Still dealing with severe allergies and waking up / makin' breakfast.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">The drow seems to have put some decent practice into wheezing his every word.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... less conspicuous?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">liatai, we can have items bought fin during the timeskip right?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;With a beard that would make a dwarf envious?&quot; :B

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;In Castleton, there are many cultures, yes.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">....bought fin? You...make your items aquatic?

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;But even black-skinned humans are rare here.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">robe of +8 tumble bought for 6400

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Black skinned elves even worse, and much more likely to incite violence.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;... yeah lose the beard.&quot; Tathi says with a giggle.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">The beard moves of it's own accord.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The beard says it stays.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway! Yeah. Ael, Tathi, I've been doin' some --&quot; O_o

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi's eyes widen a little.. &quot;What.. is that?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Clever use of illusion.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Is Vuz hiding in there?&quot; :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I moved my arm out of my sleeve, and into where the beard looks to be.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And just move the illusion with it.

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

* You roll to yourself: 132/48 =&gt; 132 / 48 = 2.75* Swallowtail chuckles. &quot;Beard puppet.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Anyway!&quot; :B &quot;Ael! I've been thinkin'.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">How much do the boots of haste cost again?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd like to go see my folks and sisters before the snow starts to fly, and before we go north for goodness knows how long for dragon and fiend business. But... given we just ticked off a murder cult, travelling alone might not be the smartest idea.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">11k.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">11,000 GP.

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;So I was wondering if you two might like to travel along.&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Don't forget your cousin, among Barbarus' minions.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I whole-heartedly agree. Tathi, what do you think?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, right, Hord.&quot; :.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Why, a chance to embarass you in front of your family? How could I say no?&quot; :3

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;With fast horses, we could get there in three days.&quot; :3

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">^^;;;;

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh shaaaaaank faaaaaaang....

* TMG winks

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Who has seen the pamphlet IC?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Tathi and Aelian only?

Gamal-Junayd whispers: Okay. Is it alright. to have my silk robes I bought in that last town, enchanted with +8 diplomacy for 6400. And a shirt to have the +8 tumble on it? This will at least give me a decent chance of not always being mocked for low diplomacy

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Horses? Please. Hy kould get hyu dere in hours, at de most.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tathi, Aelian, and possibly Miron.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well.&quot; The 'old man' seemingly slowly lurches to his feet. &quot;Whom among those not planning to travel with to induldge in a shopping trip?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;No thanks.&quot; &gt;.&gt; That was awfully quick.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shopping trip?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Yes, I'm sure horses will be fine.&quot; ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&gt;: Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;And hey, Tathi, if you feel up to it, we could teleport back here once the stay's over.&quot; :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy'm schtartink to tink hyu guys don' trust my drivink.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;i've never teleported before. Should be interesting!&quot; :3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Of course! And out there, once I have the location.&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Quite. Until that farmer comes in with a price on his farm, if ever, I have a surplus of money, and intend to upgrade my effectiveness with some purchases.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;It's kind of like being turned inside out, having all your organs run through a grinder, then put back together again, and then outside in again.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">OH! And almost forgot to say

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Uf kourse, hyu hef no problem vith usink arcane energy to flink youself trough time und schpace, yet ven it komes to simply movink fast everyone suddenly gets hall kowardly.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;.... I'm giving second thoughts to the bike.&quot; *brick'd*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">In the intervening four days, Gnogglebolt also went to visit the Swiftaxes (possibly with Shankfang and Gamal, or others), to be minisession'd at a later date.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi giggles softly. &quot;Just messing with you, Edaric.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;And you two do that every day?&quot; O_o &#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 5 + 11 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; -- aw, you beat me to the Sense Motive roll. &quot;-- Oh.&quot; :B

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt and Snarky are thoroughly sniffed.

* Gamal-Junayd aquires 12.8k worth of + skill items

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello again, doggies!&quot; Gnogglebolt says as he pets them enthusiastically.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;It's loud, it might explode, and it's almost TOO fast!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, Smoke--&quot; Gnogglebolt looks across the room.

* Flint Carthan waves.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! So you -are- finally here. Hello, Flint!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oi, Hy've been ridink Dragula for over tvelff years, und she hes yet to eksplode! Not hall uf our machines eksplode, hyu know!&quot;

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes -- and next time, do leave a letter, please? We do have sending magic available. No need to keep popping in and out.&quot; ^^

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Und beink loud iz part uf de fun!&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey. Heard you had some business with me?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;As someone may have told you already, I just wanted to talk to just you for a minute. Thought of it while we were going through the tunnels, but I didn't think it'd be a good idea to bring it up right then and you've been gone the past few days...&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">shirt of tumbling +8 and robes of diplomacy +8. more tumble options, and now I won't be a total drag when I have to roll those to back up roleplay

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">what time of day is it?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Sigh. &quot;Vy do Hy even bodder?&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">*Morning.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">Breakfast it is then. (Profession(Cook) Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 19 + 13 = 32&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;)

Gamal-Junayd whispers: If gamal wanted to go talk to mark, would that be best done as a minisession so it doesn't slow the group down?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, when might you guys be free to travel --&quot; :9 &quot;Mmmm. What is that, Gamal? It smells amazing!&quot;

You whisper to Railock: Your call. I figured on enough time to allow it if you wanted to do it now, but I could do it as a mini-session, too.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, heard you'd been looking for me pretty aggressively. Spit it out. What's up?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just an experiment. Though with how it's turning out..I do think I should write it down so it's less an experiment and more a success.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">LAZARUS RISING. +_+

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;yeah, ah... 'just' you...&quot; Gnogglebolt gestures towards the door.

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

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I'm not into guys or gnomes.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd whispers: eh. I'll try for minisession. Unless they talk about releasing him today. Don't want to be the person to slow the game down when your doing timeskips

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">Snrk!*

Alissa Remina:<font color="#000000">Giggle.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;NO!&quot; Gnogglebolt throws up his hands.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I believe we could head out tomorrow. I have a few things I need to mind at SEEDS before leaving.&quot; Tathi says.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Flint wins

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kidding. Seriously though, what's up? C'mon, Smoke, let 'im in.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">After finishing prayer, Tom walks on out past the ever-crowded archives on his way downstairs. He offers a simple, &quot;Mornin'~&quot; to everyone.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just stares flatly at Flint who apparently is now ignoring what he said on purpose.

Jim Lane:<font color="#000000">&quot;Howdy, Tom!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look, I just want your expert opinion on something. Might we step out for just a moment?&quot;

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">How hot? :3

Sonya Goldworthy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brother Lazarus. Informal newbie, &quot; Sonya chastizes the lanky archivist.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*lifts his head up* &quot;What's it, Sonya? DId you say Lazarus?&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You coulda just said so instead of dancin' around.' |3 The inquisitor stands, fetching his cloak from the pegs by the door.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Apparently 92 @ 50% humidity.

Robin Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Some people appreciate tact, Flint.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh.&quot; |3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you, miss Robin. Gnogglebolt says as he steps out the door.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">When suddenly, a jerk appears at the Ebonwood.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right. What's eating you?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway...&quot; Gnottlebolt looks up to flint after they've stepped out.

Jim Lane:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, he's right down the hall.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're in-the-know about all things undead around here, right?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Well, since Shankfang doesn't have anything going around, Imma nap a little bit. Ping me if I'm needed?

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Among other things.&quot;

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Via IRC. Thanks. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You should stay or nap.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right. was wondering if perhaps you knew of something you could point me in the right direction to. You remember the Blackskulls, right?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not presume to do both.

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Welcome. Is there something in particular I can help you find?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">I'm...not doing both. I'm napping until the plot moves along and there's stuff happening that I actually have a part in. :/

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's not how sleep works. =3=

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

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Might as well be asking a dog if he remembers his fleas.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">i tried doing this before

VAE:<font color="#000000">I failed miserable

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I am looking for finned gauntlets, and a cloak of weaponry, dear cousin.&quot; And the old man's face seems to peel away of it's own accord, just enough to show black skin around a familiar green eye.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Well, it's either this or stay up when I have nothing to do and probably fall asleep when I do have stuff to do.

* RAM doesn't care how 'sleep works'

VAE:<font color="#000000">alert me when Sonya responds or somesuch

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;At any rate, I haven't heard anything new about them recently, though admittedly our band -has- been gone from this area for over a month...but anyway.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Getting tortorous crap anti-sleep and then being totally groggy later while trying to play just sucks. Either go to bed or stay up and make your own RP opportunities. :P

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;... 'cousin?' Tebryn, this is most unorthodox. You were to stay with an escort.&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 16 + 11 = 27&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bluff... hard to tell if he's kidding.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Or do what I'm going to do and be perfectly fine later.

* RAM knows what he's doing.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE, Jim responded.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hatari; in ram's defence, he -is- a military dude.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Jim Lane: &quot;Yeah, he's right down the hall.&quot; :3

RAM:<font color="#990000">I'm very much used to this.

* VAE no noticed

TMG:<font color="#000000">It's kinda in the job description to sleep and wake up at the drop of a hat or artillery shell. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That only indicates that he's stubborn and self-assured. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Huh? Is he?|

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">*closes book*

Miron:<font color="#000000">*door ker-open*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Tebryn is still at my cave. He is fascinated with my cat, and my bear neighbor.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey Tom! Short time no see! *grin*&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;A decently reliable source gave me the name of who he thinks is the Blackskull leader some time ago. Was never really able to pursue it at the time, we were all much too busy with other Blackskull operations, and other things.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What brings ya?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And now that I try to investigate it, no one seems to know anything else and I can't think of anyone else to turn to.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Nothin'. I was sleeping.&quot; ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you know anything about a man named 'Brent Kennebec'? Supposedly, he was looking to be apprenticed by a vampire some time ago. I haven't heard anything about him since then.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then you are none who should be referring to me as 'cousin.' Finned gauntlets, you said?&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 3 + 11 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bluff again

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So you haven't abandoned us completely? Hah, I'm used to you spending nights over at Gnogglebolt's fancy HQ&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And, while we're at it, there's a known Blackskull still at large who likes to change his name often...known aliases are 'Morgan', 'Zach', and 'Francis York'.&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">but Gnogglebolt isn't smart enough to remember :3

* Flint Carthan exhales a puff of white condensation. &quot;See, you really should have asked me this inside. This is the kind of question that the archives help with.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Enough with the run-around, Rusal. Tebryn shared with me the details of his research into his family records.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A bed is a bed. It doesn't especially matter these days.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And yes, finned gauntlets and a cloak of weaponry.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was also wondering if you could look this up, yes.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">''I have a feeling someone's running loops to avoid asking me. ''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But I wanted to ask just you because if you -do- turn anything up...I want to be the first to know.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Get back inside the damn fourth wall! *smacks*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Blackskulls are the ones who our gorup originally formed because of.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mon, inside. We'll grab the records we have on the Blackskulls and Mr. Kennebec.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I want to personally be involved with finishing them off once and for all.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari sniffles and snuffles ooc. =3=;;;;

* Meany throws Hatari into a vat of soup.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Will it really take so little time? I wwould have figured you'd have to spend hours pouring over scrolls and asking contacts, to which I could just go back to our HQ and you could send me the information if you get any..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But, if it'l only take a few minutes, why not.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just really would like this to be a Guardians operation if at all possible. A nice milestone in our career.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;.. hm.&quot; The wizard tenses his shoulders a little, keeping his eyes on the 'old man.' LiNeer yawns and lounges. &quot;The gauntlets should be in the bins to your right. The cloak is somewhat rarer, however, we should have one.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Trying to shut us out of our own pursuit, are we?&quot; Flint snorts. &quot;The Blackskulls are an active group we face pretty often, so the records should be right in easy reach.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mon, let's go look.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...oh. They're that big?&quot;

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

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;What, you didn't know that?&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;They're one of the larger necromancer cabals in the city.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Strange that we've hardly heard anything about them then...&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mornin', Arlene, Tom, Jim, Miron.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey Flint! And... Gnogglebolt.. what in the nine hells are you doing here?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I thought you considered us a dog's hair better from the devil himself *laughs*&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Research.&quot; Gnogglebolt says as he passes Miron without even a glance.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah! Well, who knows the hells better than the devils?&quot; |3

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">*slips in* &quot;In here, I'm the tinkerer. So, what are you looking for?.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">5,800 gold coins are placed on the counter, and the gauntlets retrieved.

* Thomas Lazarus rubs eyes. |3

TMG:<font color="#000000">(er, is Flint's token going to move into the room?)

* Rusal Ebonwood retrieves a cloak from behind the counter and lays it out for inspection.

* Dr. Hatari was updating sheet with loot purchases and adjustments.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">Pff, it's crowded in there. Ask the archivists.

Short-Haired Junior Archivist:<font color="#000000">He's right, it is pretty crowded.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Flint? Thought you said you were gonna help me look this up?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">And I don't allow dogs in the archive.

Aldura:<font color="#000000">But -- &gt;: Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;This is satisfactory, thank you. Do you also carry ioun stones?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Flint's banned from here ever since Spike pissed on a set of grimoires. He had a beef against their former owner, see.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian goes shopping! Anklet of Translocation get. :3

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Spike? C'mon, Miron, I know you don't like dogs, but can'tcha try to remember my dog's name?&quot; :P

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Said the Flint.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Smoke, Spike.. blah. I'm surprised you're the one to complain.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Says the man who can barely remember the names of his superior officers.&quot; |3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Say, Flint, do you even remember your girlfriend's name?&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Low blow, bookworms. Low. Blow.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Excuse me.&quot; He passes on by.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just smacks his forehead and turns around to the guy he remembers being in charge. &quot;Rrrrrr...Richter, was it?&quot; Gnogglebolt passes him a slip of paper with the names on it. &quot;I'm trying to find leads on these people.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, what rumors have started behind my back this time?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">And! He also purchases a Shirt of the Fey. DR get. :3

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aha... the Blackskulls?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">How does that work? :.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">How does the shirt work?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Yea :o

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">It's magic. I ain't gotta explain shit.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well.. I did hear someone smacking your head with a bunch of flowers tied with a ribbon dedicated to someone not quite her name ... &quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">DR 3/cold iron is granted by the shirt. :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">An additional 5k gold is placed onto the table. &quot;If you have one, I'd like a dusty rose prism ioun stone, please.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Sheat. How much is that? &gt;:O

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">15k.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">15k.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">But wait.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron is grinning from ear to ear.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">There's one.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">That's the same price.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">But dr3/adamantine.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There are other DR shirts, too.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">cold iron is rarer at high levels than adamantite. hah

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Shirt of Bone, DR 3/bludgeoning, 9K. There are DR 3/slashing and DR 3/piercing ones for that price, too.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">brb!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm not even going to pretend like I remember the percentage of what to tithe.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So here's fifty platinum.&quot; |3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">12K, Shirt of Resilience, DR 3/magic.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">that's why it's called a tithe

Cadamon Gardner:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's ten percent of cash earnings, but that should more than cover it. Did you return the sword you borrowed?&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ohhh. Thanks for reminding me.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I see I'm fast on my way back to my old temple reputation..&quot; =w=;;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;....&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 1 + 2 = 3&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Sense Motive. Can't tell if joshing or if I really can't remember. &gt;:d

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wha-- I don't remember that. Who?&quot; D|

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Exactly what I meant.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">brb!

* Thomas Lazarus returns the enchanted blade he borrowed for the Erythnulian op. Back to a masterwork stand-in.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;When was this? Where?&quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Here we are. Francis York... you already have all of the details we've been able to uncover on him, thanks to Inquisitor Steelsprocket.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where, where. Bloody hell, it's worse than I thought.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Say, you remember her hair colour, at least?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hm. Oh well, wasn't expecting much on him, he is a slippery one.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;How about the other?&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brent Kennebec, on the other hand. A former member of the Society of Saltmarsh turned foul. He was one of the spearheads of the schism of the organization in 1218. The Blackskulls were, as I'm sure you know, formed when they split from the Society on ideological grounds.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep. Heard of all this before, and already knew Brent was behind it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Main reason why I'm interested in him now. Anything contemporary on him?&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Necromancer, of course. Human male, estimated to be between twenty-five and twenty-nine years of age.We have reason to believe he still heads the organization, or at least its local branch.&quot; Pageflip. &quot;Contemporary is relative. Specify?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Any recent leads on him, locations, activities.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Try cross-referencing him with any known vampires at large.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Vampires?&quot;

* Flint Carthan peeks into the archives at that.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Vampires. I have it on good authority he's looking to be an apprentice to one. Mostly likely to become one.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Miron. The vampire maps. Where'd we put them?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think the third shelf.. lemme look&quot;

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

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">back. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hope it isn't in the boxes&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 16 + 7 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Search

* Flint Carthan looks to Gnogglebolt. &quot;Vampires are among the hardest undead to track. Usually because the strong ones tend to be damn smart. The tried-and-true method is to map out the locations of any attacks suspected to be vampiric in nature and any nighttime disappearances, then extrapolating the possible hideout of the responsible vampire from there.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;We keep extensive maps and records. Though, of course, it's not perfect. The really smart ones will pick people no one would miss for their cattle.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Miron finds them. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron is digging through shelves of documents, standing on a chair.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Here!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Before turning to head out, the 'old man' peels his face off entirely to give 'Rusal' a look. &quot;Tebryn would like to have dinner with you and your...I do not now her alias off the top of my head, but the woman-who-is-not-your-wife-yet.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Naturally. It can't be easy for us, oh no.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron takes out a leather binder full of folded sheets.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He wants to know if it is safe for him to travel with me as escort to your house, of if you and she would consent to come to the cave.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;This Elf-Drinker case is complicating matters tremendously.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">It got mixed together with Vasuthant summoning ritual, for some reason. Any idea who was stacking documents in my absence? *stares*

* LiNeer hops down and returns with an ioun stone in her mouth, before releasing it. It hovers a few inches off the table.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, geargrit, he hasn't been caught yet either, has he?&quot; I hope the Castleton Guard are following up on that anonymous tip I left them four days ago...

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Le take, and now it's orbiting the old man's head.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">+1 insight ac.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Lol, my touch ac is now 20. Better hope for high rolls, wizards.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Speaking of, just to remind again, when we went home after the Crane Farm raid, Gnogglebolt -did- leave a tip with the Castleton Guard last session. :B

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;We will travel to the cave. Has he a particular date or time in mind?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;--As long as that's on my mind, I better return all my debts in one go.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Catching powerful lycanthropes isn't always a simple matter of finding them.&quot; ^^;

* Landon Skar nods approvingly to Thomas.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Any time you are available, I imagine. He doesn't have the look of being fully translated to the short-view of time.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm off to find Sszeyl. Good day.&quot; :3

* Sonya Goldworthy does not make eye contact with Miron, but her ears are turning red.

Darana Duerral:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good day, lad.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Good day, and good hunting.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl puts his face back on, and ninjas out of the store.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I spy with my little eye, someone beginning with M... *grins*&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">(Moneybags ,remember?)

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

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes?&quot; Or Malino. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">They still haven't updated. &gt;:O *bricked*

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hatari; what still hasn't updated?

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where did this notion of vampirism come from, Gnogglebolt?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good morning!&quot; Tom offers friendly greetings to the receptionists, clerk and link. :B

* Flint Carthan is looking over the maps.

Violet Vesav:<font color="#000000">&quot; Good morning, sir. Brisk outside today. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;A source in the Saltmarsh Society.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Richter, while taking it on yourself would truly be a chivalrous thing, our pricey colleague here has pretty much admitted her guilt already.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A welcome change from that tropical air, I say. Good for respiration!&quot; |d

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ack, BRB.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It was some help when we also went after the Spindlethorns.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Have you seen Mr. Sszeyl today?&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">An old man enters in, and puts a box of warm pastry onto Ms. Violet's desk. &quot;To keep you warm with the door being opened and closed all day.&quot;

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

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well that would certainly explain the testimony of several Blackskulls we have interrogated.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So we've got something now?&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Necromancers can prove difficult to crack, as by definition they do not fear death and view life as transient. However, a number of them gave testimony toward the end that serving the Blackskulls was a road to immortality.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt says excitedly.

VAE:<font color="#000000">any response from Sonya, or is she still being a partisan.

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

Sonya Goldworthy:<font color="#000000">NOT. LOOKING. AT YOU. &gt;:#|

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Unannounced afk to bruff teefs.

* Thomas Lazarus seems baffled for a moment. {:3 [1d20+5]

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Syntax-baffled! &#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 15 + 5 = 20&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

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

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

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Our initial suspicion, given the scholarly nature of the society, was that one of the leaders had achieved lichdom.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;See, Richter, we have proof that talking is silver, but silence is golden.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">The old man grips his face, and peels it off, to look at Tom. &quot;Good morning.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Then he lets it snap back, as if rubber.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Hey, Ed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Why in the world are you using that as your face today? Are you bored?&quot; =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, are any of Kennebec's activities coinciding with any hits on the vampire map?&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Life as the spawn of a vampire... the likes of Lundy would see that as a vast improvement over lichdom, if only because of their tendency to be more aesthetically pleasing.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I've been planning it for weeks. It's to be my usual disguise now.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Most of the time. Remember that vampire who came about after being buried alive in lye?&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah yes, that one. True.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I didn't think you even thought you needed a disguise..&quot; &gt;:d

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah! Yeah, that one was a bitch. The folk there thought he was a weeping one, or how are those called.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Oh well. Did you ever buy that old man's property?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He has not stopped by to negotiate price.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;A banshee?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;No.. not quite&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">A Witch.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Miron has startled the Witch!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt deflates slightly as the folks around him take a detour down Memory Lane.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;An undead.. wait&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Little problem with that, Gnogglebolt. The bastard's vanished from the map since three years ago. He sends his underlings out to do his dirty work.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, it could very well be that he just wants to keep his family farm. Especialyl since we paid for the full cleansing of the land out of our own pockets.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wheep.. tha'ts how it's called.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Hey, Ed.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Very true. And not unexpected.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Well, that's most inconvenient.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh.&quot; Ed moves out of the doorway. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In any case, it just jogged my memory. Here,&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hell, I'm getting rusty.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I shall make the same offer to those that suceed him.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Have you.. seen any of these around?&quot; Aelian asks, holding up the anti-tathi pamphlet.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas offers 120 platinum coins in a pouch.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh?&quot;

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

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's that?&quot; Read read.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I actually have a lot of pocket money left this time. Thank you.&quot; ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right, well then, has any Blackskull activity in general coincided with vampire activity?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Which means I can finally donate to charity, then buy a bunch of snacks and wine!&quot; |D

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... pardon my Elven, but ed' i'ear ar' elenea, who wrote this?&quot; &gt;:\

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Which reminds me, I need to visit my church today.&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus seems startled. &quot;Your church..?&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;They have a shrine in Correllon's temple.&quot;

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

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nothing confirmed -- hey Miron, you got the maps of Blackskull raids?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;By all means. Have a good one.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Noticing no further reaction, Miron sighs and taps Sonya's shoulder. &quot;Loosen up, Moneybags, I won't have you or your familiar for dinner. For one, weasels taste vile, and we all fuck up every now and then, it's no big deal.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, got them right here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">And awayyy~

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;That was actually pretty good, but to answer your question? The Burning Mountain group, apparently. Our dark-skinned prankster friend has already done some intelligence gathering, and that address at the bottom? A front for their operation.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*takes one of the maps out of the folder, and unfolds it*

* Dr. Hatari imagines OldMan!Sszeyl ninja-sprinting through the middle of town, attracting baffles stares. :B

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He's walking -holy damn- slow.

* Flint Carthan lays the two maps over each other. &quot;Don't suppose I could trouble one of you spellcaster types for a light.&quot;

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

Short-Haired Junior Archivist:<font color="#000000">At least four seperate balls of glowing light appear in the archives. Ack! Bright!

* Flint Carthan tips his hat down to shield his eyes, chuckling. &quot;I just need one! Just one!&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">Once some of the lights die down, Flint holds the two maps up to the light. &quot;... a couple. They're too scattered to be of much use, at least on this month.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">also ,any response from Sonya? Just wondering if she keeps it up

* Sonya Goldworthy mutters an apology, her ears now flushed dark red, and not turning to face Miron.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh, it's OK. Now, go get two ice cubes.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Burning Mountain...&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 16 + 10 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Bardic knowledge, &#171;  &#160;1d20+7 = 6 + 7 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge (local)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom steps into the VGHQ common area for a bit. &quot;Good morning.&quot; :3

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

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Hey, didn't the painter woman who tried to incinerate Sszeyl belong to them? Elven extremist group? But if they're supposed to be interested in protecting the elves, why would they spit on the idea of a central elven community?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;'Lo Tom!&quot; Tathi says, waving in greetings.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh well. If anything else does turn up while we're in town, be sure to let the Guardians know, hey?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh hey, Tom!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The feathers and several bones from the undead birds were also harvested.

* Thomas Lazarus beams!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Anything going on today?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, would prestidigitation work to conjure ice cubes?

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I have no idea, and honestly, Tathi's surprising me. I thought for sure she would have gone gung-ho in, and leveled the whole place, but she's.. ignoring it.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello, Thomas.&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;She's not sick, is she?&quot; :.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">My favorite use of prestidigitation was the 'conjure crude item' use.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Which my wizard would use to conjure crude caracature sock-puppets of other people.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And then have them argue.

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">At the apparent lack of response, Miron conjures two icecubes and carefully touches Sonya's ears with them. &quot;There. If your ears were burning any harder you'd run a risk of setting our archive on fire.&quot; *laughing hard*

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;As far as I know, no.. But.. geez, what if she is?&quot;

* Sonya Goldworthy squeaks in a completely undignified manner and jumps nearly to the ceiling! Much to the laughter of her fellow archivists.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">''I so wish I was there for this!! x3''

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt snorts. &quot;Well, I suppose that's all for now.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He starts moving towards the door.

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Apparently somebody cared enough to write a smear paper against Tathi and her project, and she hasn't burned them down yet. -- Hey Tom, is she sick?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay, i'll be gone for a while

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian glances over at Tathi, who's engrossed in her spellbook again. Thank you class-specific -10 to listen/spot checks! &quot;Here, Thomas, come have a look.&quot; He says, offering the pamphlet.

VAE:<font color="#000000">going to toss food to the cats

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Okay, seeya. :3

* Thomas Lazarus looks it over curiously.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Do I need to repost it, or no? :B

* Liatai is brick'd for daring to suggest wall-o-texting again. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt exits the mace.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well now why in the world would anyone have anything bad to say about seeds?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*and returns to the HQ

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I've never seen nor heard about the contents, so..

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">A whisper would suffice. {:3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">TEXTWALL IT IS. :B

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;My thoughts exactly, and here's the thing.. Tathi.. isn't doing anything about it. She's ignoring it Thomas. Could she be sick??&quot;

You whisper to Dr. Hatari:

SEEDS OF CATASTROPHE Elvenkin of Castleton and surrounding areas, we implore you to THINK TWICE before joining with the SEEDS PROJECT and its founder TATHI EYLLISAEARSITHEK VIOLENCE and IMPULSIVE DESTRUCTION Baron Adalbert Digby of Thalinde found himself CHARRED after making a passing remark about Tathi Eyllisaearsithek's pleasant appearance. She then proceeded to throw arcane power wantonly into the surrounding areas, destroying a nearby merchant's stall. &quot;It's a blessing that Baron Digby was the only one injured,&quot; said a local guard. &quot;We could very easily have had deaths.&quot; Eyllisaearsithek was heard afterward wishing to MURDER the baron, and actively seeking him out to attempt such. ENEMY OF THE LAW This was not Tathi Eyllisaearsithek's first brush with the law. She has DESTROYED and DEFACED Leaden Mace property on numerous occasions. Also, the SEEDS PROJECT is NOT OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED by the Kingdom of Akellon. Despite its center being in the heart of the human kingdom's territory, Eyllisaearsithek has made no overtures to ANY local nobles, NOR has she sought official recognition or sanction to create her proposed sanctuary. Legal issues and territorial debates are sure to follow. Given Eyllisaearsithek's usual reactions to legal troubles -- THREATS, EXPLOSIONS, and PAYING OFF CLAIMANTS -- this does not bode well for her project or any who choose to trust in her fledgeling leadership ability. ALLY OF LOLTH'S CHILDREN In addition to her VIOLENT and UNPREDICTABLE nature, TATHI EYLLISAEARSITHEK and SEEDS co-founder AELIAN CYADARITH have been seen openly ALLYING and FRATERNIZING WITH DROW. Coralline Aramathea, a high elf and respected member of Castleton's art community for twenty-three years, recently was threatened by a DROW in her place of business. During a trial held in the court of Vandria Gilmadrith, the DROW threatened to KILL ARAMATHEA'S KIN and DRIVE THEM FROM CASTLETON AND SURROUNDING AREAS if she did not do as he demanded. Aelian Cyadarith and Tathi Eyllisaearsithek AGREED TO ASSIST THE DROW in this, and have frequently been seen IN THE COMPANY OF LOLTH'S CHILDREN, DEFENDING their pestilent presence in our fair city and beyond. Elvenkin of Castleton, we implore you, think carefully. Do you truly want someone like this to LEAD a sanctuary for our beleaguered people? Is THIS who we want as our public face? Is someone like TATHI EYLLISAEARSITHEK the one you want to trust with your LIVELIHOOD, FAMILY, and FUTURE? ''CONSIDER CAREFULLY before joining with the SEEDS PROJECT and TATHI EYLLISAEARSITHEK, lest you feel the FLAMES OF HER FOLLY. '' This free public service announcement is published by Foresthaven Press for the education and wellbeing of all elvenkin. 4892 Nightbird Road, Castleton District 9, Kingdom of Akellon Liatai:<font color="#000000">Er. Did that go through? ^^;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I see noffink.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I see it all.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... oh gods, has Sszeyl seen this yet?&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">That's a good question.

* Thomas Lazarus puzzles over the poster with a &gt;:. expression.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I've just gone to an Elven temple, do I see it?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Now why in the world..&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No, you don't see it. Especially since your guise isn't elven.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Alrighty then.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Oh well, I suppose ... but how silly.&quot; Tom lowers the poster and regards Tathi for a moment.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 3 + 14 = 17&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; Does she seem in odd health?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Other than anemic. *blast'd*

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi, who'd been engrossed in her spell, manages a glance up and- &quot;Gyah!! Thomas!! Why are you staring at me like that!?&quot; She says, half-way curling up in her chair with her spellbook clutched to her chest.

* Thomas Lazarus raises palms in a non-threatening gesture. ^^; &quot;Jeeze. Haven't you been listening at all?&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Tathi needs an adult! ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Just checking on you. Are you feeling alright?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... should we show Sszeyl? He's such a hard read -- I have no idea how he'd react.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Listening to what? And I'm fine, why??&quot; She asks, quirking an eyebrow.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If you don't mind me saying, which you probably will, it's unlike you to sit by so calmly and passively after recieving some nasty slander like this.&quot; He weakly shakes the poster once.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Show?&quot; Swallowtail reaches out for the poster.

* Thomas Lazarus hands it to Swallowtail upon request.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi blinks, and then her expression deadpans. &quot;Oh. That. I was a bit peeved at first.. but after thinking about it? I think it's hilarious, if a bit odd and out of place.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Read read. &gt;:d

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi, your name is silly long.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suppose that's a much better attitude than I expected. Still. It seems weird to me anyone would feel so strongly about it already - and in such a bad way!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;It is not.&quot; &gt;:3

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is 'overtures?' &quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Surely, they're jerks. Jerks!&quot; &gt;:O

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I have to admit. It's blatently out of the blue, and from a completely unexpected source. But, it's overall effect? I'm not anticipating much. Maybe from the non-elves, but any elf who's ever heard the name? They're going to wonder if they're missing the punchline.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;The opening number of a show, usually a medley of --&quot; Click. &quot;-- Oh. Hmm.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus opens mouth, inhales... holds expression... and looks baffled.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I suppose I should explain a little..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">How do I explain overtures??

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Attempt diplomatically.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Thomas, it might mystify or terrify you, I'm not sure which, to know that I am fairly average for my family.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Tathi, what are overtures?&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Diplomatic attempts at an action.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Hear me from several miles away, Tom!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What did it say, 'making overtures?' &quot; Snoop snoop.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Based on what I've heard, I suppose I can believe that.&quot;

* Edaric translates into Amayan.

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ah, yes, that. See, now that has me worried. Are they trying to goad me into making a rash move? They're faulting me for not approaching the Akellon authority yet. But what -would- I approach them with? SEEDs isn't a hamlet yet. It's just my house for now, although the new homes are nearly complete. I was going to approach when it could be considered a townstead of Akellon.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(( Question to the DM, when might the new homes be complete? When you finish the new map? :P ))

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">They should be done by the time Tathi and co. return from Oakridge. So in about... let's say five days for simple houses. You have a few druids working on them, and a carpenter.

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(( grazie. :3 ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Fair enough, I suppose. Although, you know, humans are pretty concerned about things like 'their land'. Well, generally. &quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... wow. Fail.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I typed into Google, instead of Italian, &quot;how to say &quot;you're welcome&quot; in Amayan&quot;. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">WHAT HAVE I DONE. XD

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Mmmm, there's a contingent for if someone raises gaul about me taking land they're not using.. I'm sure you're familiar with the Charred Veld?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods quietly.

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

* Dr. Hatari spit-takes.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Was it the firemen??

* Dr. Hatari gets ALL THE BRICKS.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;This is a -civilized country-. Someone gets kidnapped, someone pays the money. Prego, grazie, kiss-kiss.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;All wood elf territory. All taken by humans without ever so much as a nod to the refugees. This? SEEDS in the forest? Compensation, as far as I am concerned.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;You are inviting war.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi quirks an eyebrow. &quot;How so?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well..&quot; ^^; &quot;Human governments do all that sort of thing through paper and decrees and official transactions. Not that I imagine any of the officials in Lorellon would actually resist this, but, if you ignore them, a lot of busy-body Braxton-type people around here will look at it like it's something underhanded.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It would be better to just telepoof on over and smooth everything out all official-like.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi smirks, and shakes her head. &quot;I'm not going to ignore them. I just want to wait until I actually have something worth approaching them over. Wouldn't I be wasting their time if I had ambled over right as I built my home?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm? Someone say official-like?&quot; Gnogglebolt says while walking into the common room, wiping his oil-stained hands with a rag.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Whoops. You baited the gnome, Thomas.&quot; :)

* Thomas Lazarus glances over and offers a palm in greeting.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's your bait.&quot; =w=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">And after a brief visit at the shrine, into the river!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Anyways. I'm just saying, a declaration of intent and ownership of the acres in advance would be a good gesture. You would have recognition and approval. Kind of like our new company. Even if you think it's unnecessary hogwash, atleast it would silence some of this silly poster nay-say.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 7 + 2 = 9&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Int check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">No treasure this time. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt flops onto one of the couches, looking slightly exhausted from whatever his latest project is.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...What's this all about?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">With my new swim speed, and d10 unarmed stike damage, I can catch some fish!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Fish massacre ensues.

* Swallowtail hands over the poster. &quot;Someone saying mean things about Tathi.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus flutters a hand. &quot;Some nasty people have posted stuff opposing Tathi's project.&quot;

* Edaric ferries the poster from one side of the room to the other. :B

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;19*4 = 19 * 4 = 76&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm?&quot; Gnogglebolt takes the poster and reads it (and no need for repost, I've seen it twice now. x3 )

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Which is totally ridiculous. I'd love to see them quieted.&quot; &gt;: Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well. Let's make an appointment then. How might I do that?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">....His right eyebrow very nearly disappears into his hair.

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The cat appears, with new bling. A pimpcoat of tiger-fur, with a tiger-teeth necklace. On the shoulder with the missing arm, he has the skull of one of the birds serving as a pauldron.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;What's all the noise about?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unfortunately, while heavily exagerrated, they do have a few points, Tathi. Namely the drstruction and blasting barons.&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; {:3 &quot;I'm ... I have no idea. This government recognition political land ownership thing is way over my head. Perhaps dad would know who to talk to in the government? Or maybe someone around who's in the know.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt passes along the poster.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am not sure whether Swan Song would laugh or be furious.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Both?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, Tathi, you haven't even looked into the land deal with your project?&quot;

* Edaric ferries the poster to Barbarus. :B

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Funny, the very first thing I was going to do for my was find the location, then do the official stuff...&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The cat whistles. &quot;You want me and my boys to kneecap them?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;No, Barbarus, no, anything we do will likely be used as flak to be thrown back against us.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We don't even know who 'them' is.&quot; &gt;:E

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;They provided an address~&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;First thing to do is find out which noble house controls that region. Since it's just to the south of us here in Castleton, the Castleton governmental offices should have records if not headquarters.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can go right now.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's the flyer publisher.&quot; &gt;: Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ah, I forgot. Rhylinar did some scouting. It's a Burning Mountain front.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well, if we can knock this out now, why not? Let's go.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well there you go.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If you're willing to wait an hour, Boddynock can make us some Molotovs.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hmmmmmmm~? Them again, huh.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;.....I think you two are on different pages..&gt;&quot; Gnogglebolt says, looking between Tathi and Barbarus.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's obviously not okay!&quot; &gt;:O

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Um, yeah, no Barbarus. No knee-capping.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Kneecaping is so twenty seconds ago.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did you turn my cousin into a mobster.&quot; &gt;:|

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;If any action of that sort is going to be taken, it will be done by an iron golem.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We're talking firebombs now.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;No no no, of course not.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 13 + 11 = 24&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Sense Motive!!! *brick'd*

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">... okay then. -w-

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So. To the offices, Tathi?&quot;

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Who wants a tiger-skin coat? :D&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Let's go!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. The first thing you ought to do is get a deed to the land from whoever it is that officially looks after it. Even if it's practically just an unsettled plot home to a lot of fey, it's inside of a large landmass the Kellon government considers theirs. It probably either belongs to a noble, or remains unparceled land in the Crown's name.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">....looking at the world map...does the forest south of Castleton even have a name? &gt;:.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;After that, I think, you can make an appeal to.. somebody about what you want to do with it. The revitilization project and community.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It did at one point. Bugger if I can remember it. &gt;:d

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Exactly what Thomas said.&quot;

Barbarus: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Feywood? ))

Barbarus: <font color="#a14d7f">(( It's the forest where a Fey colony live. ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's probably unalloted land, but still belongs to Akellon in name.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The Greenwood Vale! There it is, in Greyspire's description. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... crud gimme a few moments to come up with some nobles. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You can rename your territory if you own it.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d2 = 1&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And thus BUTTOWN was founded. *bricked*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">So, is Tathi going to follow Gnogglebolt out the door, or what? :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Oie, you map spoiled brat. :P

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Want to come, Edaric and Thomas?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Not really, but since the DM would be distracted anyways, I'd better. *bricked*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">We don't have to have a map for the office but the least you could do is place the token outside of HQ walls to indicate she is not in the HQ at this present time. -3-

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">ack, brb while the DM stats. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">Politics go here -- *brick'd*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Well, at any rate, Gnogglebolt leads Tathi to the administrative offices which he is somewhat familiar with by now. Once ther, he requests a map of the governing district borders in and around Castleton and Lorellon. Who is the governer of Greenvale Wood, and is s/he listed as having residence in Castleton, Greyspire, or elsewhere?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*Erk, Greenwood Vale

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Knowledge (beuracracy) check!

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

GM:<font color="#000000">That area of the Greenwood Vale is goverened by the Countess Wirevel and her family, who have a residence on the western edge of the forest in the small town of Lalaine. I'll plop it onto the town map.

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">See what you did?

GM:<font color="#000000">Done.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(Meany's about to go all royal/noble-lecture mode again, isn't he? x3 )

GM:<font color="#000000">Actually, I'd appreciate that, just to make sure I have the right title. :B *brick'd!*

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">.. why did we suddenly get ebil dm? o.o;;;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Counts/Countesses are assigned to rule cities, or groups of cities.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Castleton has a Count, for example.

GM:<font color="#000000">Because Mink doesn't have a paperwork face. *brick'd*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt points out the name and location on the map to Tathi. &quot;So, you said SEEDS was here? Then that means if falls within her district.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So, what would be the term for someone who oversees a region?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Depends on the size of the Region.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The person who lives here is the one you want to talk to.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Roughly 36 by 24 miles. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let's say 36 by 36.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Any sizable plot of land near the boder would be a Marquess, or a Marchioness.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's in the center of the kingdom, though. :.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Akellon doesn't have clear-cut border lines in the map. :B

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

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Farmer, then.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">*bricked*

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;She's a bit of a ways away..&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">A Duke or Duchess is overkill.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shankfang could get you there in an hour.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">They rule entire provinces, and hold rank equivalent to the heir apparent of the king.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I would know, he took me down to Redtree to de-stone the last poor people there.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tahi and Aelian both groan. &quot;Why is it always with the technology?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">So, Countess, Marchioness, or Duchess are your ranks. I advise Countess.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Countess it is. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Beeeeecause it works&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Beeeeecause it works?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... hey, speaking of Sszeyl. Where is he?&quot; :.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;...... I do not know.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I lived through a horrific teleport by Nathaniel, you can put up sitting on a metal moving seat for an hour.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is a bad thing.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh. He said he was going to visit his temple.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;The teleport would not explode!!&quot; Tathi whines.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where is temple? I am worried about the dragon.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Really? Sure felt like it.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh, something to help out.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You can say that this woman is a Countess in rank, but has ownership of -multiple- counties.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;It did not! I teleport all the time!&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Either from deeding by the king, or various marriages over her family history.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And Shankfang rides the bike all the time.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Magic is neat, effecient, and doesn't explode unless I want it to!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look, if you take a ride from him, you can have this done today, Tathi.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'll be back before the sun sets, even.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;As much as I am loathe to admit it.. He's right. You can't teleport where you haven't been, right? But, um.. question. How many does the bike seat?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... Teleporting has a higher percentage chance of exploding than riding the deffbike. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You two are skinny elves. I'm sure both of you will fit.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Anyway, time to ping Ram?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas assumes nyoro~n face. {:3c

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;Excuse me, excuse me!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I suppose I could stay here..&quot;

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;Could any of you fine people help a traveller with directions?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Is that cheery fellow for us?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I had some shopping to do anyways.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks to the Cheery Fellow. &quot;Sure! Where are you headed?&quot;

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">Yes, you!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm?&quot; Gnogglebolt looks up at the approaching person.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh, yes, what do you need?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(oh wait, Edaric, Tom, and Swallowtail aren't still back at HQ, they -did- follow after all? Shoot, should have hadGnogglebolt react to dragon thing...)

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which way is it to (Vigilant Guardian HQ address) from here?&quot; :3

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He's so pretty.

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

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

* Thomas Lazarus glances to Gnogglebolt and smirks.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Goodness. Sir, you're speaking to several members of the Vigilant Guardians right now.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're looking at us.&quot;

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, good, good, good! So you'll know the way. Well?&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;All of us are, actually.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He's here to issue a summons.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He's suing us.

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

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which way is it?&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If I may ask, what business do you have?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Everyone point in a different direction.

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(( *BRICK'D* ))

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">An old man turns around the corner up ahead, and starts walking past the party.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well.. I was going to head back to do some shopping and visit the temple, anyways. I suppose I can show you the way.&quot;

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, that would be great, absolutely great, thank you very much.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's okay Thomas, Tathi and I need to head back anyway to get Shankfang.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway. Shall we?&quot; Gnogglebolt starts heading off.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">A slightly baffled Thomas offers a smile. &quot;I'm Thomas Lazarus. And yourself?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">In his mind, he's just a wee bit suspicious of this man who seems to be interested in the HQ and not the people in it, and seems to have ignored the question about his business.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(erk, minus that quotemark)

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">But he's so BISHIE. *brick'd*

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Anyone who glances back notices that the old man seems to be covered in ice.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi groans, and follows along behind gnogglebolt.

VAE:<font color="#000000">apparently DC'd on the way

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;Isaac Kiles! Call me Izzy. Everyone does.&quot; |3

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Again, ping me if anything relevant happens

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">oh, him. xD

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">And then he suddenly starts walking extremely slower, until Tom and Izzy catch up.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You know you and Ram could instigate things to happen.. =w=; lazy-asses.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Me?

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway, since you're walking with the people who own the establishment, might I inquire as to your business, good sir?&quot;

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

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">I just realized I forgot to say.

VAE:<font color="#000000">what day is it even?s

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">12th.

VAE:<font color="#000000">still 12th?

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's really grand of you to be helping out a lost traveller. Really, quite grand indeed.&quot; ^^

Miron:<font color="#000000">Also, to make for the day, Miron's gonna carry on with the research Gnogglebolt was suggesting. How many rolls of what knowledge checks with what bonus due to being in the mace's archive should I make?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=w=; &quot;Are you, ah, looking for one of our members perhaps?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">You know one of the reasons Silverthrush left us is partly because of Tom, right? Well, I saw the person who will be the new liason from the Raiders in Sszeyl's minisession.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I fully, totally expect Thomas to say these words: TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good lord I traded Cal'Tel for this.&quot;

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;I got separated from my partner, you see. He said we'd meet at Vigilant Guardian headquarters. But, you know how the city is! So easy to get turned around, so so easy.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">&gt;:3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom surrepetitiously attempts to sense evil on the area.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's exaggerating, you know.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But have your fantasy. :B

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">No evil! Just a heck of a lot of cheery. :3

VAE:<font color="#000000">what's Tom doing

VAE:<font color="#000000">and where he is.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">On the road to VG HQ.

TMG:<font color="#000000">We're in the city, walking back to HQ.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">and hthe new liaison drow

TMG:<font color="#000000">Cheery traveller has asked us where we live.

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Anyway, a brisk walk later, the group finds themselves in front of the HQ.

GM:<font color="#000000">As for Miron, it's Knowledge (local) and (religion). +5 for the archives.

* Thomas Lazarus walks back to VGHQ

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, this is where we're housed...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">An old man covered in ice is standing next to a redhead outside.

Traran:<font color="#000000">And lo and behold, there's a red-haired elf leaning on the wall under your sign.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, uh...these are your friends, I presume?&quot; Gnogglebolt says to Cheery.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He hasn't seen Redhead disguise before, or Sszeyl's new disguise.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">River+cold temperatures+wind.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">This better not be because of the river again. It's not cold enough. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">The archivist pulls up his sleeves, and gets to work. Local &#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 12 + 14 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; and Religion &#171;  &#160;1d20+25 = 15 + 25 = 40&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; I might not be as edumacated as Tathi, but in my field I'm the hot shit.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi walks up, and mock pouts, smirking at Traran. &quot;Now, see, I could have sworn I left you chained up somewhere.&quot;

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey! There he is! Oh, no no no, not the old guy, the other guy. Kosoel, Ilme~&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Wait, you know this man, Tathi?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It also doesn't have like three capital shipwrecks laying on top of each other every couple yards, what is with you and this fantasy river. *bricked*

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh yes. Don't take your eyes off him for a second.&quot; She says, smirking at Traran.

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

* Traran lifts the brim of his hat. &quot;Already forgotten, eh?&quot; to Gnogglebolt. |3 &quot;To the newcomer; &quot;Well there you are. What distracted you this time?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I can eat mushrooms and have adventures if I want to.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">:V

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">o3o

* Thomas Lazarus snaps out of it. &quot;Hello again.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Already forgotten? I've never seen you before...&quot;

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, I saw politics happening and had to check it out.&quot; ^^

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Gnogglebolt, he was at the festivel!&quot;

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

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;And on your roof, even.&quot; :P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wasn't at the festival, remember?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not until the end, at least.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;What? Where were you? Flying through the air after your latest explosion?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;As a matter of fact, I--...wait...roof...&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">okay, once something hatches from those dice rolls, notify me. 26 local 40 religion.

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

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

* Liatai scrambles for plot.

* Liatai is brick'd.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...so, who're these two new people, 'friend'?&quot; Gnogglebolt says to Redhead.

GM:<font color="#000000">Well, Miron finds pretty much everything in the archives on vampires. :B You can read the MM.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If you are -quite- done loitering in the street, drawing the attention of the citizenry, shall we go inside?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">And as of our friend Adrian Acuoa ?

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was hoping you could tell me who the dwarf wannabe is.&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have my suspicions, but it's easy to mimic voices.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know for sure I've never seen him before...&quot;

Cheery Fellow:<font color="#000000">&quot;Too true!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Do I need to get a thesaurus and chuck it at you again?&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now that confirms it. Hi, Sszeyl.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wh--huh?&quot; Gnogglebolt peers at the old man.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">The old man peels off his face. &quot;Yes.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB, tea. x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt throws up his hands in JackieChanMemeStyle. &quot;Why are you in disguise here in Castleton?&quot;

Izzy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ooh. Very nice effect. Very nice.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Why not?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because it was actuallyn a good thing that he was able to walk around here undisguised before?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl let's the face snap back into place.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is a step back, this is what we want to not have to do.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Things have changed.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, nothing changed, we just left a city that was remarkably tolerant and went to less tolerant places.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have returned to the remarkably tolerant city and it doesn't look changed to me.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Although.. I'm curious. What has changed?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Trust that when I will tell you when I feel the situation warrants.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Which will certainly not be in the street.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt heads inside, nodding to Violet as he passes, to the common room--seeing Barbarus's folks all around. &quot;Oh, you all again. Hello.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He waits until everyone else has come in, then goes to the dining/meeting table in back.

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

* Thomas Lazarus regards the other disguised-folk.

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

Gamal-Junayd whispers: is it around lunch time, or still far too early?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Are you really just using our front door as a meeting spot..?&quot; &gt;|3

GM:<font color="#000000">People who were walking back to HQ, please roll Will saves. The DM is a doof and thought about something once tea started brewing.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Will: &#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 5 + 14 = 19&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

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

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

* Traran chuckles. &quot;'Just' is a tricky word.&quot; |3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+11+mod = 12 + 11 + 0 = 23&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Will save!

GM:<font color="#000000">That would be Gnogglebolt, Tathi, Aelian, Ed, Swallowtail, and Tom.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 19 + 7 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 18 + 7 = 25&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

You whisper to Railock: Yep, it should be about lunchtime.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Will save...? &#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 1 + 7 = 8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">....-that- was an autofail

You whisper to TMG: What was Gnogglebolt thinking during the walk? :3 Surface thoughts if you would.

* Gamal-Junayd looks up from cataloging the kitchen supplies as everyone files in

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you all that hungry for lunch a bit early, or is somethign going on?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">And I should still have detect scrying going. :3

You whisper to Ghostwish: What was Aelian thinking during the walk? :3 Surface thoughts, if you would.

Gnogglebolt whispers: oh boy. Heehee. x3 Ahh... general thoughts of slight suspicion of the guy given how he didn't initially answer questions about his business, and seemed more interested in the HQ than the people in it.

Gnogglebolt whispers: but hoping it would just turn out to be nothing.

Aelian whispers: &quot;And it's just.. weird, you know? Normally, we'd be fighting Tathi down to keep her from killing the whole lot of them, but she's just.. ignoring them.&quot;

Izzy:<font color="#000000">A very strong-willed bunch, you are! :3

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Except our 'leader.'

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Come, come.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Why is that so fucking unsurprising

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Wait!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Elros hasn't been leveled!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt becoming a drowish thrall

Izzy:<font color="#000000">&quot;After you, after you~ Oh my. Lots of people.&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot; (Don't remind me.) &quot; =w=; In Undercommon.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Ohhh just you wait, Redhead.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">(&quot;They are minions in the shorter cat's service.&quot;)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Give it a month for people to respond to the posters I handed out to travelling bards.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">(&quot;Ignore them.&quot;)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">People who come in from across the country.

Izzy:<font color="#000000">&quot;(But they look interesting.)&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">(&quot;They have a hivemind, and aren't afraid to use it.&quot;)

Izzy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ooooooooh.&quot; 83

Izzy:<font color="#000000">&quot;(Fascinating. I studied a hivemind in the Sleepers' March once~ it's a real trip to observe!)&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come in, come in, sit down with us.&quot; Gnogglebolt gestures to the two 'newcomers'. &quot;And please close the door behind you, I'm sure we'd rather not any prying ears.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh well..better get cooking with this many coming in...&quot; Gamal whips up a lunch for everyone filing into the dining room. discussion over a meal? (Profession(Cook) Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 9 + 13 = 22&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;)

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;(Izzy.)&quot; =w=;

* Gamal-Junayd passes out whatever sandwiches for lunch

TMG:<font color="#000000">...nice, Gamal, you just took the two chairs they were going to take? xD

TMG:<font color="#000000">Trying to split them on purpose? ;)

Izzy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Well thank you! Wasn't expecting a meal! You are...?&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Don't worry, they have doubles now.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">no, just that's the chair he's been sitting in...as it's the closest to the kitchen

TMG:<font color="#000000">On the far side of the wall.

TMG:<font color="#000000">With no escape.

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

* Traran shuts the door behind the party; he doesn't trust the hivemind.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Right next to the ninja.

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">Join us, Traran.

Eirik:<font color="#A14D7F">Join us.

Anaqualia:<font color="#A14D7F">Join us.

Izzy:<font color="#000000">Bounce! Sit. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;Join us Carly Beth...&quot;

* Traran stays standing in the shadow of the cabinet, leaning on the wall by the door. The natural habit of Rhylinars, apparently.

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If I knew lunch was going to be somethign special, I could of prepared somethign better, but no one informed me of anything going on.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So! R--may I use your real name in here?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Neither did we, Gamal.&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry about that. It was a last-minute thing.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They just dropped in on us.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Although I have my suspicions of what this is all about by now.&quot;

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

Traran:<font color="#000000">Nom. &quot;They're very good sandwiches, though.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What is this all about?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Gnogglebolt wanted to speak to them about something or somesuch.&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;As long as the hivemind out there isn't listening in.&quot;

Izzy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh? Did he now?&quot; :3

Hord:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We're not! :3&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Huh? No, they want to talk to us. I brought them in here so we could talk.&quot; Gnogglebolt says to Sszeyl.

Izzy:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Speaking of which!&quot; The cheery one turns toward Rhylinar/Traran. &quot;Youuuuu never told them about me!&quot; Mock pout.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Thank goodness for thunderstorm.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Darkness and cool rain. =3=

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;I did. What makes you say I didn't?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">If I disc it's from lightning.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(Okay, I know we've been loose with the walls before for the purposes of shenannigans, but reall, for this one time, I -reall- need to insist that they are actually mostly-soundproof, at least to ordinary speaking voice. -3- )

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's still 90 in this room.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Come to me, coolness~

Izzy:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was expecting, I don't know, some reaction when I told them my name!&quot; Pout.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is your name?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I slowed down for you to catch up.'

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, may I use your actual name, 'R'?&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot; You know, normally we break up hiveminds. Go ahead.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, Rhylinar.&quot; Gnogglebolt nods to Izzy. &quot;I presume this is our new liason from your group, to replace Silverthrush?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's a fake hivemind.&quot; =3=

Izzy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Got it in one! Izzyl! Call me Izzy. Everyone does. Or Lizzy. Depends.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; I kinda miss him already, he was neat.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;How is the counseling for him, anyway?&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;For who, Silverthrush?&quot;

Izzy:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nice to meetcha!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Yes. Everyone who has prolonged exposure to Miron should seek counseling.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Or they go insane...er.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, goodness knows I need it...&quot;

* Traran snorts. |3

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So! Nice to meet you, 'Izzy'.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;As you see all around you, we are all the Vigilant Guardians, save for a few straggling members not immediately rpesent.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nice to meet you Izzy. If you are to be our liason, do you know our names, or do you need introductions?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But this is most of us.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;They wouldn't hurt, no, wouldn't hurt at all. Rhy's given a pretty good briefing, a pretty good one indeed, but it never hurts to get faces with names.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Barbarus, resident insane cat.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Primera. The sane cat.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gnogglebolt Sparkgear, gnome machinist.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or engineer, if you will.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Everyone please make Will saves as you introduce yourselves.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Tathi Eyllisaearsithek, evocationist.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+will = 7 + 12 = 19&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; +2 if its enchantment!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Halo. xP Will: &#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 6 + 7 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Aelian Cyadarith, Ranger.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+will = 8 + 7 = 15&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; +2 if it's enchantment!

You whisper to TMG: Yep. Surface thoughts again. :B

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Shazam, Diamond Mind manuever to replace Will save with concentration check.

You whisper to Ghostwish: Yep. Surface thoughts again for Aelian. :B

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 6 + 13 = 19&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 16 + 7 = 23&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Will save!

Gnogglebolt whispers: Gnogglebolt's taking a 'wait-and-see' mental attitude, wondering what the new liason is going to be like. How long does this last, again?

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You already know me.&quot;

You whisper to TMG: That would be telling. :P Assume for now it's a flash of thought-reading whenever I ask for it.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I do! Nice trick with the illusion-peeling. Hat of disguise, or natural?&quot;

Gnogglebolt whispers: Oh, okay. Actually, I was asking because I was wondering if I need to whisper thoughts each time I speak.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Tom, as I said.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right, Tom. You're one of the inquisitors, right right?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am Gamal, the cool.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yes, sir. Local branch, standard inquisitor.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Quite cool indeed! Dancing and battling and cooking, with a mystique because of the wraps! Cool, cool indeed.&quot;

Aelian whispers: &quot;Hrm. What could we do against the Burning Mountain, anyway? We only know of one of their locations..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Now.. as much fun as I can see you're having skating around it, who are you? Names are meaningless.&quot; &gt;|3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">I meant cook

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I couldn't resist. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Is he your superior?

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sir is a polite title of address for any male citizen.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">I know. It's just .. eh. That sort of politeness to a drow would prob'ly rub Miron the wrong way if he were there.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Thunder is going pretty non-stop wild and crazy. Sorta expecting a power blink at this point. :.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;So are faces at the end of it all, but really, that's beside the point, beside the point.&quot; :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">what doesn't rub miron the wrong way when it comes to drow?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... He's not a Drow. :P

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He's a doppleganger.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">Aw. He guessed. *brick'd*

Traran:<font color="#000000">You were making it really freaking obvious. :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">even better :3

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">Was nooooot!

Traran:<font color="#000000">Were too.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">It's because I used a Kan-ism, isn't it?

Traran:<font color="#000000">Now you're just breaking the fourth wall.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">Fiiiiiiine~

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You're not allowed to derail into the 4th wall! &gt;:O

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tricky question, tricky question. Hmm. I'm a Raider, been one for sixty-two years. I work under hatted-and-shady over there... and now I'm the Guardian liaison! At least, for now. It's a little something different.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well...have you been told about the one called Miron?&quot;

* Izzyl asks something over his shoulder in a language no one here speaks.

* Traran replies, after looking around the room.

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

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

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;A-haaa. I see. That does present a little problem, a little tiny problem. Well, I guess I can try to stick to one look for Guardian work.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas, like Silverthrush was.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Silverthrush worked with the Raiders, remember? He was actually our go-between guy.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is he out of the country?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Apparently he 'no longer felt welcome.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I certainly don't know why that is.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course! Ah, not quite like Silverthrush, no, no, not quite. More dedicated. Silverthrush is a busy fellow. Too busy. Should relax sometimes, you know? Tries to do too much.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Gee. I wonder why.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think it was mentioned at one point that you were the one that made him feel that way.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Maximum sarcasm.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But, now he's gone, and this man is stepping up.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait...what?&quot; Gnogglebolt looks at Gamal, then to Thomas.

* Izzyl starts to say something, but Rhylinar shoots him an obvious be nice look from the corner.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Did you do something?&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Silverthrush does many jobs. Not all of them Raider business. But I'm full-time.&quot; :3 &quot;So if you see something from me, or I drop off a message, or anything, you'll know it's Raider business!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I told him to kindly skedaddle when we got back from that awful river debackle once.&quot; =w=# &quot;..Although, leaving forever seems like quite an over-reaction. Still. It's not like he was welcome even before that, thanks to Miron going bonkers trying to arrest him constantly for no reason.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Why would you do that?&quot; Gnogglebolt says. Hands in the air, take 3.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So unlike silverthrush, you have nothing better to do then? hmm?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;'Do that'?&quot; =3=

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;The constant arrest threat was more of the reason, from what he's said. Don't worry about it.&quot;

* Izzyl laughs! ^^

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What kind of question is that? Why do you think?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus eyerolls and disregards.

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

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;You could put it that way! Technically this is a vacation for me. I'm normally covert ops.&quot; ^^

* RAM feels much better now.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just pinches his forehead. &quot;I, for one, thought he was a very valuable ally. But oh well.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hey ram. We needed you.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">This guy is covert ops?! What.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- MY TEA :O

TMG:<font color="#000000">So much for pingwakeup, huh? :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">D: TMG:<font color="#000000">Save the tea! D: * Liatai darts off to get overbrewed tea.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't think he's not an ally anymore gnoggle, just not as close a contact.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Er, please don't call me 'gnoggle'.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Curses. Guess computer was too quiet.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I was actually a lot nicer than I said I was going to be.&quot; He folds his arms and huffs. =3= &quot;I just told him to get out of my face once. It's on his hands if he took that fleeting nothing upon himself as the lynchpin to leave our company forever. Nevermind it was his fault for that disastrous errand. We're still daily living down the repercussions of the meeting. I never hear the end of it.&quot; He sighs.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's not like anyone called that out in advance. =3= *bricked*

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm sorry, Your name is long. it's easier to shorten it. and you hadn't mentioned anything the other times I've shortened it.&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;That wasn't the lynchpin, trust me. But, we're getting sidetracked.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't blame him for that! But ugh, oh well, back to the present...&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(Rail; actually, it's because I kept missing it. :B )

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So. Izzy. I sincerely hope that your tenure with us does not end on as bad a note as the previous one.&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, I did warn him about Miron. And hopefully, he should have less of a problem with Izzy than with any of us, if just for one reason.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But, in the meantime, you should be warned about--oh, okay then.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Mindfuck, eh?

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aah, I'm sure Silverthrush is practically over it. He's a resilient guy, pretty darn resilient.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I'm rather curious as to what this reason is.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, that!&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not a drow.&quot; ^^

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So's he.&quot; Gnogglebolt nods to Rhylinar. &quot;For the moment.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is that so..? Well, it probably doesn't even matter.&quot;

* RAM makes note to have a longer pre-Akellon nap next week.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gonna need to do better than that to get Miron off your back.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, well. At least he sounds interesting.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The instant he figures out any association whatsoever he's going to fold his arms, make up his mind, and start imagining a bunch of terrible conspiracies you're guilty of just for being in any way related.&quot; =w=;

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

* Izzyl looks devious for a moment...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The moment he even hears the words 'sun raiders', you'll never hear the end of it.&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">Gibbs-slap. &quot;No messing with the paranoid gnome. I know it's tempting.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oww~ okayyyyy.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh no, by all means, go mess with him.&quot;

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

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not even just a little?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We could all use a laugh if you can do that.&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;... maybe. Don't get yourself arrested.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I have to agree.. Teach Miron that his over-bearing paranoia is not an admirable trait at all.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why would I do that, prison is boring.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, he can and will attempt arrest with force if he thinks he has reason to. But if you're confident in your evasive abilities, well.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;By all means. Give us some comedy.&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't. Encourage him.&quot; =3=

* Thomas Lazarus seems remarkably unamused. Probably just because he has to deal with it twice as much as anyone. He leans an elbow on the table and cradles his head in an upturned hand.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Until you start a riot, attack and impersonate one of the guards in the confusion, and set the whole building on fire as you leave.'

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What do you want?

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">:|

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

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh?&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Me?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, I'm encouraging him.&quot; Gnogglebolt smirks at rhylinar.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">To Thomas, I should clarify.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...But yes, I think we've got detoured again .&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is there anything we specifically need to know?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Unless this meeting was only for introductions, I assume there was something?&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean it. Don't. If he gets out of line just tweak his ears. Just don't be surprised if they stretch.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh go ahead and ruin my fun why don't you.&quot; Mock-pout.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nope! Nope, nope, nope, just for introductions. Oh, and to set up a drop location if you need to get in touch with the Raiders through a message! Most of us move around the country so much a permanent address is hard to get.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, I assume that if you're going to employ and associate with someone with a jester's personality, you'd only do so if you're confident mo matter what they do they won't blow your operation.&quot; Gnogglebolt says to Rhylinar.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you cause to much trouble, we'd have to distance ourselves from you if nothing else&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You may use my cave, if you wish.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, if he doesn't go so far as destruction of property or harm to people, he can mess with Miron's mind to his heart's content, as far as I'm concerned.&quot;

* Izzyl suddenly sobers. &quot;Don't fret. I'll not go out of my way to cause trouble with people who've offered us aid and shelter.&quot; Personality 180 much?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's not employed by us, I certainly can't tell him not to do something.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Don't.&quot; He drops in a warning tone uncharacteristic of Thomas, staring hard from his bored stance.

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;For the duration of his tenure as liaison, consider him employed by you.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">gotta start supper, afk a bit.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Lovely! So what set of skills do you have, Izzyl?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Oh well now you gotta go and ruin it--saaaaay.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Could just Miron that.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;'Hey, we employed one of the Sun Raiders'. That'll be hoot enough.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like I said. Don't worry. I won't even mention my connection to the Raiders -- and I wouldn't do that, either, if he's that paranoid.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You might think it's all jolly good fun to go instigating fights, but I don't.&quot; &gt;:E &quot;I'm tired of that. Sheesh. Get along.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're looking to build a positive relationship here, not start battles over again.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmph. Alright, if you say so. If you're going to keep your association secret from Miron, I will too.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;....&quot; Grin. &quot;But it is fun to imagine.&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;Izzyl.&quot; =w=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If that is all.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just imagine, I'm not going to do anything sour, sir.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Shall we go?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances to Thomas. &quot;Then...why don't you just stop dealing with that? Can't be tired of it if it's not your problem.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">keeping his association secret

VAE:<font color="#000000">he better have a good reason to why he's suddenly around

RAM:<font color="#990000">We hired him.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Bam, reason.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not quite. Where in your cave would you like to have as a drop area?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Stop dealing with someone I've known for years, or an organization I'm a member of?&quot; =3=

* Izzyl looks to Gamal. &quot;... come to think of it, I have an idea.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're the one who's all about recruitment, right, right?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's just in my nature to straighten out fights. I can't help myself.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I don't have to like it, though!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt tilts his head. &quot;If the person you've known for years gets on your own nerves? Yes.&quot; He says bluntly.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're just as bad when you conspire to rile up fights!&quot; &gt;:E

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ladies, ladies.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where should this drop location be for messaging?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You're both pretty.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Now shut up, and back to business.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't someone to rile up!&quot; Gnogglebolt says to Thomas with a silly smile.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;He brings it on himself, you know that.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;There we go! There's a convenient excuse.&quot; :3 Ignoring the squabbling~

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Said it yourself a few times.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">we should plot the way Miron and Tom met properly some day

* Thomas Lazarus stands with an irritates look and closed eyes. &quot;I've said my piece. I have errands to do.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Consider Isaac Kines, human illusionist, at your service as a part-time recruit.&quot; :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you are to be a new...recruit...then you can't exactly let your affiliation be known. We don't want fights between those who are supposed to be members.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright then, good enough story.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The cat just got an evil grin.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, drop location? Who knows this city best?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">A huffy-looking Inquisitor departs. =3=!

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Exactly! I'm just a young aspiring human adventurer, looking to learn from the best. A simple enough little game to play.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It is time for shopping.

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">The cat exits out into the hall.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If your going to be one of our members though..were going to know what you can do..and to be able to send you on enough missions for us to keep up such a ruse. Is that acceptable?&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Ladies, and gents!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We've got a new recruit, so pack up!&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We're gonna go visit Auntie Lue!&quot;

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

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">Wails of anguish come in from the hall.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...Well, assuming then that those still remaining around the table work out a concealed, surreptitious nook somewhere in the city to leave packages and notes.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, perfectly so. Enchantment and illusion are my specialties. I can certainly help a little in combat if it's not too rough, certainly, certainly, but I'm no bruiser, no sir, no sir.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Let's see, let's see.. wine, check. Sweets, check. ... Oh wow, this shopping list looks like it was written by some college douchebag.. &gt;:d

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Good luck, then.&quot;

* Traran calls out into the hall. &quot;You induct him into your hivemind and every one of the small bones in your hands and feet gets shattered.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I better donate to the temple first. =w=;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Don't worry, it won't be a total induction.&quot;

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Just team work excersises.&quot;

Elrik:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Who's going over the waterfall in the barrel with him?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; Run while you can. &quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">|3

Barbarus:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;We'll think about that later!&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Friend Izzy, do not volunteer for Barbarus's 'teamwork exercises' if you value your sense of self-preservation.&quot;

Boddynock:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;You're worried about the waterfall?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Sounds fun.&quot; :3

Boddynock:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm worried about the running of the bears.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;He could always go through the team work excercises with shankfang. If he can survive being hugged to death.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is that all, then?&quot; Gnogglebolt says to Izzy and Rhylinar, after an offscreen drop location is chosen, henceforth known as The Drop Location

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ooh~? The half-orc Mazian?&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, speaking of, pardon me.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gets up to leave.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">mmm, spam. still afkish though. :3

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Haloo!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(...where's Shankfang?)

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Where is is token?

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

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

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's all I had to talk about. See you around -- I'll be leaving town myself in a few days, so keep Izzy in mind.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">wa OH

TMG:<font color="#000000">Sneaky sneaky orc was at the table the whole time.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Retcon, Gnogglebolt does -not- get up from the table.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Yes he does.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Can someone link me to the Jaegerizer? ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He turns his head to Shankfang. &quot;By the way, Shankfang.&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">He gets up to find Shankfang, not realising he was at the table the whole time.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Contracting 8 workers for miners for the next year.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">So 200 gold paid to them in advance wages.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">That gives me 12 miners altogether. 4 of whom are digging ponds.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">These new workers will be set to expanding the cave again.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Gimme a sec to come up with a clan...:d

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

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

You whisper to VAE: At some point today, Miron will get his assignment to go to Braxton Falls.

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">&quot;Talfeera Steamwheedle Nosy Yaskintle Brightweave Indrite Sparkgear, soon to be Deffrider. Pleased to meet you!&quot;

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">'Sup, I'm Adelaide.

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Scurry scurry climb climb.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah! I'd forgotten how pleasing gnomish names were to the ear. And hello, little ferret!&quot; Scritch scritch. :3

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Mmm, yeah. Right there. |3

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">&quot;I'm glad you like it! Most people tend to think they're too long.&quot; :3

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Oh man, I -totally- forgot to have Snarky go say &quot;hi&quot; to the new guy. And I was thinking about it, too!

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">back! *burp!*

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">It's not too late, dawg.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, nonsense! I knew a gnome once who had thirty names.&quot; :3 &quot;Not too long at all!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ghost; read up, Shankfang has been informed of Tathi's need for transportation. :&gt;

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">:o

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

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">&quot;Was he/she an adventurer? I don't know how they would get so many names otherwise!&quot;

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile, a little guy who's been snoozing on Gnogglebolt's shoulder wakes up as the other little critter scrurries across the table to go meet the newcomer

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Lizard hop hop hop hop.

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Oh no...

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Formerly! When I knew her she was the maester of a literary guild. Ooh, hello. What are you? A little green shocker lizard.&quot; :.

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;Watch your hair.&quot;

Snarky:<font color="#000000">k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k! Ker-poof'd!

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Don't you even- Aww man!

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">That is a lot of hair to poof. |3

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">You mussed up my do!

Adelaide:<font color="#990000">Again!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah yes, that's Snarky, my Mazian Sparker.&quot;

* Adelaide tries furiously to get his fur back in place.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;You know, between this, and sticking your head in a bag of holding, these could be initiations for the Guardians.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Green sickleback breed, as you can see.&quot;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fascinating! Really! So the Mazians have domesticated the sparker lizard! There are rumors, or course, rumors spread, but with the closed-border policy, you know how it's been.&quot;

Talfeera:<font color="#990000">&quot;I thought about giving adventuring a try, but I don't think it's really my thing.&quot; ^^;

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ahaha, so you've done that before, too?&quot;

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Snarky tries to nibble at Izzyl's fingers.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Quite. It was a hilarious sight.&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hey, Swallowtail! Guess what!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">BAG OF HOLDING'D! :D

* Izzyl wiggles his fingers and a few little marbles of light dance across the table. &quot;Haha, playful, aren't you? Here you go!&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 1 + 11 = 12&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Reflex!!

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Snarky gives merry chase.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Miss and miss!

* Swallowtail whiffs. =w=

TMG:<font color="#000000">ohgawd. Head-bag'd ninja flails wildly? xD

* Swallowtail is shouting in Amayan, muffled by the bag.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">That sounds like one of Hak Foo's moves. :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Shankfang, you're awful.&quot;

* TMG wonders if anyone gets that

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 99&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; miss chance, &#171;  &#160;1d20+11 = 8 + 11 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; unarmed strike, &#171;  &#160;1d100 = 99&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; miss chance, &#171;  &#160;1d20+6 = 6 + 6 = 12&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; unarmed strike!

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

* TMG highfives Meany

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Shankfang you should let her out of there.&quot; o_o;

* Meany highfives.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Aaand releas'd.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;She's screaming about being kidnapped.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 2 + 11 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; SOCK. &gt;:|

* Swallowtail whiffs.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh man this is so horrible but I can't stop laughing Dx

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Poofninja keeps trying! &#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 19 + 11 = 30&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d20+6 = 9 + 6 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Nice hair, Swallowtail. You look absolutely electrifying.&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Right in the kisser!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d3+1 = 1 + 1 = 2&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; nonlethal damage -- she's still yelling in Amayan at Shankfang.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, a little worried at this point, tries to ask her what's wrong in Auran.

* Traran says something in that odd language again, and Izzyl chuckles and replies.

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">Inquisitive statement?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang works his jaw a little. &quot;Ow.&quot;

Traran:<font color="#000000">Reply statement, subtly waving a hand in a 'wait' gesture.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">What's she yellin'? :3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">It's not very coherent. At least she's calming down and not yelling anymore, but there was a lot of &quot;I will not be kidnapped again!&quot; and &quot;Honorless scum!&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Shenkfang?&quot; o_o;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shenkfang! Do not do that again!&quot; &gt;:O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Sorry!&quot; D: Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Least. Intimidating. Pink poofball. Ever. &gt;:|

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;It vas a joke!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Okay, calm down.. Swallowtail, you allright?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile, Gnogglebolt has been hiding under the table when tthe limbs started flailing. o_o;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He peeks up above the edge of the table. o_o;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am fine -- do not put bags over my head again.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy sorry!&quot; &gt;: Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hug?

* Izzyl distracts Snarky with dancing lights, while idly watching from across the table. You are an interesting group. |3

* Swallowtail accepts the hug. &quot; No squeeze. &quot; ^^;

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Snarky is still giving merry chase. In fact, if Izzyl put some magic spark into the lights, Snarky seems to be extraoridnarily good at homing in on them.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Okay, no squeeze. Just hug. :3

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now that that's over with.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt takes his seat again.

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Does hennyone know vere Hy kan find a mirror?&quot; :B

TMG whispers: btw, I'm curious... -did- you ever actually give danman for the 23 and 40 knowledge checks he rolled way earlier? &gt;.&gt;

You whisper to TMG: -- FFFFFFF

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt pulls out a small steel mirror from his pockets.

TMG whispers: Oh dear. ^^;

* Shankfang the Deffrider takes, holds it up in front of Swallowtail. :B

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;.......&quot; o_o; Reach up, pat poof-hair disbelievingly.

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

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Lemme know when you're ready for timeskip. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Still about midday, or into the afternoon...Tathi, still ready to make that trip today?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shankfang, obviously, is very excited to provide transport.&quot;

* Shankfang the Deffrider BoH's himself, shows Swallowtail the effects. :3

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">(Ghost? Ya there?)

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Nope.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&gt;:P

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Yes, might as well get this over with..&quot; Tathi says, heaving a sigh.

Traran:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll leave you to that.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, unless anythig involving Miron is happening...

Izzyl:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nice meeting you all~ Looking forward to working together~!&quot; the cheery fellow sing-songs on his way out the door.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">That said, never got any info with regards to the /local/ part of the study

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

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Anyhting new found out with that 26 with respect to our Numbskull friends?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas goes about his errands, and picks himself up a new bottle of wine. In addition, he finally makes good on old promises.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">I just keep his token out in case he's wanted/needed for something. Which...I don't.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">And then the lag subsides, and Calrach -vanishes-.

Calrach:<font color="#000000">To be quite honest, I'm somewhat considering retiring him.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Ten days of lag. Damn.

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: If Thomas has been around the Mace much at all, he knows Miron's birthday is approaching... and also his temporary transfer to Braxton Falls. The branch has requested another archivist to assist with operations and maintaining their waterlogged archives after the hag-caused flood.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, what are you lot up to?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;As for the physical farm...I know nothing about tending crops, or raising cattle. But I would be willing to learn. I would be lying to say that if we do come to an accord, I would not put the crops and animals produced here to use, either in the city, or in the hunting lodge not far from here that I maintain.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Over six times as old as some of us, with that much experience and wisdom behind it. Whatever are we going to do when you leave? The archives will be sorely lacking in wit and poetry.&quot; ^^

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Truth.. Now, I half wonder if they'll be crazy enough to badmouth the countess.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm. Well.. pardon me. I just remembered a bit of business today.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh? What are you doing?&quot;

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I see... then maybe we can come to an agreement. If I may keep my home, and a few animals, I will teach you or any other workers you might hire to maintain the farm. It's... one hundred acres of good, fertile land, but so much has overgrown or been cursed...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's Miron's birthday. I was going to swing by and see him.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No doubt atleast one person has broken out drinks.&quot; =w=

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;No kidding? The codgery gnome's birthday?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">...Should I be with Tathi right now, seeing as how I was driving them around?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That was days in the past.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Your character is your character. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">We're six days later. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Mmm, kay.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Hrm. Maybe I should get him a gift. That turns him into a drow.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">and the destination was, like, 30 miles away

TMG:<font color="#000000">same distance as Redtree, about.

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(( DM? Price of some fine archive novels? :3 ))

* Thomas Lazarus sighs lightly and pats the doorframe once before ducking out.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Mmm, that's right. Presents. :.

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;I spoke with the town clerk. The property is valued at 11,000 gold pieces as it stands... though if I may keep my home and a few acres, we could settle for 9,500 gold pieces.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">..And apparently, Tom runs into a grumpy dragon. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Depends on how fine you're looking to get! -- Oop, one moment.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hmm, just under 6k left...

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Watch it -- Thomas!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Top quality.

* Shankfang the Deffrider realizes he has no idea what to get Miron. :B

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;One of the two humans I was looking for.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;In my culture, what you describe is called bad karma. The ideal way to offset it is with good karma; that is, to have many happy memories, and bring much laughter to the location.&quot; The drow inclines. &quot;That seems like a good deal. And I believe the difference of one thousand and five hundred gold would be best put to hiring good hands, and having a celebration to begin the process of karma-reversal.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Oops. Sorry, Brian.&quot; ^^; &quot;I didn't expect anyone to be waiting here.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">50 GP or more. :3

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

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well. I have your sword, and Gamal's.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">8O

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">50 GP it is! And about how much would a baleful polymorph trap cost? &gt;:3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He looks like he forgot about it.

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;I apologize for the wait. It took a long time to find the appropriate stones.&quot;

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Hrmmm.. I'll figure the prices of a darkness and stinking cloud trap too.. now how much for a small, book-sized chest with a simple lock on it? :3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Hope you're watching, VAE. &gt;:3

VAE:<font color="#000000">heh, I am

VAE:<font color="#000000">and writing a short poem

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">...DMG should have lists for magic traps. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's one of the silly things

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You could go to donjon and rolls lots of salvage.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Oooo, it should! *checks*

VAE:<font color="#000000">also, there's an awful storm outside

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And just combine a bookcase with a lock.

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, really. It's a blessing to have a sunny day in which I can give it to you.&quot; The smith takes a long cloth bundle off his back, unwrapping it to display the sheathed sword. &quot;Traditionally, the sanctified stone of Bahamut is the star sapphire.&quot; He tilts the sword so that the crossguard gleams; in the center of it, there is a small disc of silver ringed by moonstones with a thumbnail-sized brilliant blue star sapphire in the center. &quot;However...&quot;

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">the storm is too hard

* Thomas Lazarus looks enraptured. 8O

VAE:<font color="#000000">We'll have to finish this next week, or tomorrow

VAE:<font color="#000000">we're turning shit off

* Dr. Hatari had one like that, too.

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

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

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Good luck, VAE.

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

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Bai VAE!

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Damnit, I was gonna prank the shit out of him too. XP

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The blades are done? I would of come to pick up the second on time, but other thigns have..distracted me. sorry.&quot;

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Given your connection to the lord of the Sun, I took the liberty of doing some additional research.&quot; He flips the sword over; on the other side of the crossguard, in the center of a disc of brilliant blue lapis lazuli with gleaming golden mica flecks, ringed by small sunstones, is a brilliant clear blue diamond, thumbnail-sized like the star sapphire. It scintilates in the sunlight and gives off a faint light; it's easily worth 2,000 GP by itself! &quot;The sunstone, of course, is thematically connected to Pelor, but the diamond's extensive use in healing magic also lends itself well to Pelorite blessings. As I'm certain you know.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks totally enraptured by the sight!! http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT28n6Tm0KT_2AB_hwVTlXSTNU4ltIBRjg6IL-20UG08VxsSRbC32umxi5a-w

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... He doesn't seem to be paying any attention to Brian, as usual!!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">...Is he wearing the bow, too? *brick'd*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">+o+

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">(Not today.) *bricked*

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Thomas's eyes are on fire...

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">FLAMES OF YOUTH

RAM:<font color="#990000">NO!

Brian:<font color="#000000">The sword has been polished and sharpened to a razor edge and brilliant gleam. &quot;This is a true tool of the divine in the mortal world, now.&quot; He.. actually smiles a little at Thomas' rapture, and unsheathes the blade for inspection. Holding the grip toward Thomas; &quot;Treat it well, and it will carry you far.&quot;

* RAM beats the Gai out of Meany.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Brian does know it's gonna be replaced in like.. 4 levels, right? *BRICK'D*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Absolutely!! I'm really honored to have the chance to carry it! A true holy brand of Bahamut.. thank you, Brian!&quot;

Brian:<font color="#000000">Let me be proud of my work =~= *brick'd*

* Thomas Lazarus takes the sword reverently. &gt;:o

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;Give it a test swing.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Take a practice swing. Roll a natural 1. Blade breaks.

* RAM is wishing he'd had Brian enchant Rose now, if just to see what he'd say about it. :o

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And then Liatai sends us nothing but oozes and rust monsters.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">So shop there next time. :3

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

* Thomas Lazarus draws the blade out of its scabbard and tests the weight. Hmm.. good. It's just the same as it's always felt.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;That is a beautiful blade Thomas&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas takes a slice at the air. ... EVIL air!!! &#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 8 + 14 = 22&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d10+7+2d6 = 6 + 7 + 6 = 19&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

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

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

* Thomas Lazarus clenches a gauntlet in the air with a clank. &gt;:|

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Half-Orc.

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'll use this to rid many more fiends from the world. I can't express my gratitude properly.&quot; He resheathes the blade and bows.

* Brian nods in return. He looks very pleased.

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

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">Over the timeskip, Pri had Deici Draghi upgraded with the magebane property.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">MOAR STORM!!1!

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">-6k.

Brian:<font color="#000000">&quot;And, as promised, Gamal-Junayd, your other blade has been enchanted.&quot; A second cloth-wrapped bundle is unslung from his back; a clear quartz crystal has been added to the pommel in the same place as the amber on the other blade, and small white wispy lights can be seen dancing in the heart of the gem. &quot;The enchantment is currently active; the activation phrases, as requested, are the same.&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd bows

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well.. I would rush off to show Miron..

* Brian 's trademark is gems. Of course they're blingin'. |3 *brick'd*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">..But he's a cat and thus terrified of his storm. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;My thanks to you. While I enjoy the thrill of combat, there is no need to kill worthy foes that may one day come to challenge and test skills, or even posisbly be friended some day. These will help with that goal.&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd takes the blade, and now has proper blades on both sides.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo Brian!&quot; :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas, do you want to take hte loanded weaposn back now?&quot;

* Brian nods curtly to Shankfang.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Good idea. I would've forgotten.. {:3c&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Furthermore, with this..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..There's no more reason to wait..&quot; &gt;:O

GM:<font color="#000000">Rose should be enchanted by now, too.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'll talk to the commander right away!&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh! Yeah! Brian, can we fly on you to the north? &gt;:O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*FLAME'D*

GM:<font color="#000000">Given VAE's no longer here, would people like to leave off here, or are there other things to do before Mace stuff? :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Hey! My trucktrain's faster than a silly dragon. :B

* Shankfang the Deffrider goes to fetch Rose!

* Gamal-Junayd hands over the borrowed blades to thomas,

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">I'm fine with leaving off here. :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Ahem? :V

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">I guess...

Brian:<font color="#000000">Actually, even if I wanted to, I would not be able to fly you north. But the politics surrounding the situation aren't proper to discuss.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hm. Is Vae going on holiday again or whatnot?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Eh, I can't think of anything...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Aside from goblin minisession. :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Brian you dog. You knocked up some silver dragon chick, didn't you?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Buuut that's a bad idea to do right now, innit? :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">So, how does Rose look? I know it wasn't BrianEnchanted...

Max:<font color="#000000">Remember the electrum dragon taboo? There are currently two electrum dragons alive in this age. Both have gold ancestry.

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

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

* Shankfang the Deffrider makes a note to have Brian enchant his stuff from now on.

Max:<font color="#000000">... so gold dragons flying through other dragons' territories are very closely scrutinized.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Lia and Ram, I need to talk to you both. :o something I totally kept forgetting to mention.

Brian:<font color="#000000">THAT'S NOT PROPER BUSINESS TO DISCUSS WITH THE YOUNG RACES &gt;:O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">YOU CAN BREED WITH ELECTRUM?! &gt;:O Coins, really?! Have some self-restraint, there are children in your household!

TMG:<font color="#000000">(...are electrum dragons actually out of a book? :. )

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">electrum is an alloy of gold and silver isn't it?

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Electrum dragon taboo.. okay I have a macro for this..

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Wait, what? Who is that? What is that? I don't remember this. Did the DM explain that? Is that part of our objectives?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Why is Crane Barn on fire again?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&quot;Electrum dragons&quot; is a Kellon term for a metallic dragon with another metallic dragon half-template. :B

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Anyway, nom: TMG:<font color="#000000">Thomas - HOLY AVENGER! *_*

TMG:<font color="#000000">and that's it for me here. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Aw. It seems early.. {:3

TMG:<font color="#000000">but lia and Ram, once we're done here, must talk to you regarding firearms. :U

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Trivia: The two electrum dragons currently alive in Akellon are a silver-gold cross and a brass-gold cross.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">They have the same father.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">it IS early

Liatai:<font color="#000000">This father is a wanted draconic criminal due to this.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And now you know~

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

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;If the deal is sealed, I have the gold with me, if you wish it so soon.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">dragons. they can breed with anything...BUT a different color dragon

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">at least legally

TMG:<font color="#000000">PAPA! &gt;:O

Matthew Toris:<font color="#000000">IT WASN'T ME D: Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">It was.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Isn't he likes fours years olds? =3=

RAM:<font color="#990000">Lia Lia? Can has description for Enchanted!Rose? :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Kitty :D

* RAM wants to save it in his notes.

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( yaykitty ))

RAM:<font color="#990000">Hi Cocoa!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You didn't even have it sent to an enchanter with a name. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Hatari speaks truth. Going to known enchanters gets you custom descriptions.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not to mention no one knows what the original looks like. XP

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">you know you can always make up somethign, and run it past liatai, right?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aw. Byekitty.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">My mental conception is, &quot;It's like a derringer blown up to 12x scale to shoot artillery shells&quot; :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">&gt;: Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh?! Really?!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hatari; actually, that's not the one anymore.

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">&quot;People just... carry that kind of gold with them nowadays?!&quot; O_o

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ram nixed supergun. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh hey, that reminds me.

TMG:<font color="#000000">This one's a super-pistol.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Since it was brought up last time that flintlocks technically can't jam, what would a better malfunction term be?

* Liatai does not know guns. At all. ^^;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Backfire's the only other appropriate one.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Gold is extremely heavy, sir. I, as a body-builder, use it to increase my strength.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">And even though it's 'flintlock', stock guns in the book jam anyway.

TMG:<font color="#000000">It's just a WoW-ism. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Not supposed to really follow real-world mechanics that closely.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well I'm just asking because I'm curious. I don't know the ways that a real flintlock could misfire or malfunction. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">They don't.

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Yes they do. ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">But it's gotta fit within the given rules.

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( If you don't take care of them. ))

RAM:<font color="#990000">A misfire is simply &quot;they don't fire&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They can fail to fire. Or, in the event that a flintlock &quot;jammed&quot;..

TMG:<font color="#000000">^ also known as a &quot;miss&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It would just detonate completely.

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( Or explode the barrel. ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It doesn't have the complex moving parts to jam a round.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It also doesn't use rounds. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Which is not what's supposed to happen, because failing the check (attack roll, UTD, or otherwise) should -not- have an identical mechanical effect to an actual Malfunction.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Failure to fire sounds more in line with the rules as written. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We actually have a muzzle-feed longarm in the house. In addition to atleast 12 other guns.

RAM:<font color="#990000">In reality, a flintlock would only &quot;jam&quot; if you somehow managed to get the ball stuck in the barrel, which I have no idea how that would happen, actually.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Malfunctions, capital-M, are supposed to be more severe than simply failing the check.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Again, this is nothing we actually need to mess with in the rules.

TMG:<font color="#000000">We've done it, it works, nothing needs to be changed.

GM:<font color="#000000">I know, it's just flavor. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">Anyway! Last call for noms. :2

GM:<font color="#000000">* :3

RAM:<font color="#990000">There would literally need to be something stuck in the barrel after the ball was put in.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I got, and get nothink.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">-11k goldz.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I was actually expecting it to be more expensive. :B

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Go to Barbie for a loan expensive.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Or worse.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">A chicken is 1cp.

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl now has the property deed to Crane Farm! And 6 of its 8 cows.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">How expensive could a farm possibly be? :B

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">And a few chickens.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Can the farm support moar cows?

RAM:<font color="#990000">There, Charsheet updated with Rose.

GM:<font color="#000000">The farm can support up to 20 cows.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Moar cows are purchased!

GM:<font color="#000000">You might want to fix up the barns, first.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">There are encounters in them. *bricked*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">That's what the 1.5k that isn't part of the actual transaction is going into.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I left a note with Crane saying I know a good crew! :U

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Farm hands, low-level hireling fighters, and repairs.

GM:<font color="#000000">Only one of the three barns on the property is in good enough shape for holding livestock; the repairs will take a few days.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">-and- some potential farmhands!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(but I need to minisession first before they're actually hired. -3- )

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Yes, the Swiftaxes are on the shortlist for hiring to be farmhands.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt goes to the Castleton Guard offices to see if there's any news on any catching of the elfdrinker since he left the tip with the guard.

GM:<font color="#000000">The opposite of luck. There are three dead guardsmen who appear to have been victims of the attacks.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...well shit, Gnogglebolt -would- have gone to Tathi and asked her if she could scry with only a name, but that would require going back in time. :(

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Shall we bring Tombot?

GM:<font color="#000000">So! Vigilant Guardians! What brings you out into the city en masse today?

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">i.e., no reason at all! :U

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">To be seen.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">There's going to be a party at the new property.

GM:<font color="#000000">Miron's birthday? Just walking around? Going out for a bite to eat?

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Perhaps that can play into it too?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">To show a presense in the city so as to attract more jobs!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">A bite to eat sounds good.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">To shoot things!

GM:<font color="#000000">Start chattin' it up, I'll start rollin'.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Hey, we could say we're going to the Bronze Boot

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Where it all started for us.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">Are you telling me...that my food isn't good enough?

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">It ain't plot, that's for sure. :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Boy, we need alcohol.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Visit Stheric and the old folks again.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;so..why are we getting this stuff again Sszeyel?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I don't recall it off the top of my head.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;.. so this is the deed, all written up nice and pretty. I didn't imagine it would be so simple..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;When a bee stings a person, the stinger actually gets stuck in them, because it's barbed, and the bee disembowels itself pulling free. It'll die.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus points at the departing bee with an index finger and declares dramatically, &quot;Use your new lease on life well, bee! You have been disarmed, so lead a second life of peace!!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks to the others. &quot;Come to think of it, I've never seen a bee this time of year.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And then it goes and stings someone else.

Obad-Hai Priest:<font color="#000000">&quot;We do, as a matter of fact. You... healed the bee which stung you? By the Shalm. So many would have ignored it, or killed it out of fear or anger.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I'm just asking.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">and you can choose not to address the second part.

* Rusal Ebonwood tries to edge around the dog. &quot;We're late.&quot;

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">But... honey cinnamon buns.

Tavia:<font color="#9933FF">Rrrrrr. She doesn't budge!!

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">Master! I demand sweets! You and the snake need energy anyway.

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

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">Since when did you side with dogs.

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

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

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

* Rusal Ebonwood is abducted. DX

Tavia:<font color="#9933FF">Mission successful. Happy pant.

Lethiriss:<font color="#000000">Nyahaha~ Sss, you mussst enjoy yoursssself now!

* Shankfang the Deffrider drags the three inside and plops them down at the table. :3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well, imagine seeing you all here.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">You people are incorrigable. ... Dignity. Cough. &quot;... good morning, Vigilant Guardians.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">MY VILE ARCH NEMESIS. &gt;:O

* Thomas Lazarus beams! ^^

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Would you mind explaining why your hound and half-orc have herded us inside?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We had the funnest adventure, earlier. Come, sit, please. Enjoy the spoils with us.&quot; |3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good Morning. Would you like some cinnamon honey buns made with honey freshly given from the temple of obad hai?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hungry?&quot; :3

* Shankfang the Deffrider offers honey cinnamon buns.

* Lethiriss slowly uncurls, peering out of the neck hole in Rusal's cloak.

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">Hello, rat. &gt;o3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Herded you? Why, I have no idea what you're talking about.&quot; And if you -really- need to sense motive that, you need your head checked.

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">One day, I shall remove your eye of evil, and FEAST UPON IT. &gt;:O

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">I don't need to see to smell your grotesque odor and track you down, filthy rodent.

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">My people shall dine upon your carcass!!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I don't think I've seen that snake before.&quot; :o

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;... provided we are not waylaid for more than twenty minutes. The Ebonwood needs to be opened at some point today.&quot;

* Shankfang the Deffrider waves a honey cinnamon bun in 'Rusal's' face. :B

Lethiriss:<font color="#000000">The snake lazily nuzzles Rusal's cheek. |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;The other ones are so tiny.. whoah..&quot; &gt;:O &quot;It's definitely the biggest I've ever seen.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">IT'S FAT :O

Lethiriss:<font color="#000000">*_*

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">AND SO UGLY.

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">You fool. RUN.

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">RUN NOW.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Hrm. Is that a pet of Lethiriss?&quot;

* Rusal Ebonwood folds his arms into his robe sleeves. &quot;... no. That is Lethiriss. She has difficulties with the cold. &quot;

Lethiriss:<font color="#000000">Tongue-flick. |3~

* Thomas Lazarus flinches.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Peer. |o &#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 8 + 5 = 13&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I can't recall.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi's eyebrows raise. &quot;You polymorphed her?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">I know emerald tree boas aren't venomous but bear with me they're the quickest snake I could find in my archives *brick'd*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Is your brother crashing at your house, or mine? I see him around many times a day, stealing food when Lethiriss tells him no.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd whispers: was I like the only one ever to get lucky and spot that lethriss was a yaunt ti? heh

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Scritchies for Snake!Lethiriss? :3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Well, now the players know it's an emerald tree boa. XD

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">Given you'd have to reach into this guy's cloak to do so, let's assume no.

Lethiriss:<font color="#000000">She does nod and wave her tail in response to the greetings, though. |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Really...?&quot; He still seems mystified by the notion. &quot;Ms. Lethiriss?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Have a cinnamon honey bun for the road, then.&quot; |3

* Thomas Lazarus sets one aside.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, I know my cinnamon honey buns werent as good as they could be. perhaps when she's not a snake, we could discuss pointers sometime on how to make them better, she does make some lovely sweets.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;None of you are well-acquainted with the yuan-ti, I see.&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 1 + 7 = 8&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Knowledge History check.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Is that what she is? I thought it would be rude to ask..&quot;

Primera:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 9 + 7 = 16&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Knowledge Local check.

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">Local would be the check.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 12 + 9 = 21&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; knowledge local!

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">:3

GM:<font color="#000000">Primera knows that yuan-ti are people descended from human and snake stock most often encountered in the jungles of Kaduar and the forests south of the Falaris Plains, renowned by and large as being violent religious fanatics of their snake god. Tathi also knows this, and knows that they have several spell-like powers, including the ability to transform into snakes.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh, she did it herself! How interesting.&quot;

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

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

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes. She tends to lose body heat quickly in the cold. Fortunately, I have been working on something that may assist with that.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;But..wouldn't a snake body, being smaller, be MORE susceptable to the cold?&quot;

* Lethiriss snuggles into Rusal's cloak. Sss~

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Probably not in there.&quot; x3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Less surface area.&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#9933ff">(( we're ending soon, yes? ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I got my chucklesworth out of the urban encounter, atleast. :B

* Rusal Ebonwood looks slightly uncomfortable, bowing his head a little to hide his expression with the hood of the cloak. &quot; It's easier to share heat and insulate her with the cloak this way. &quot;

Lethiriss:<font color="#000000">Sss. |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">|D So cute~

GM:<font color="#000000">Yep, we can end whenever you guys want. :3 Last call for noms!

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">Lies. We are not cute. &gt;|

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">You so are.

TMG:<font color="#000000">So, uh. What was the original encounter roll you did? xD It sounded like you swapped for something else at the last minute.

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">The very word is abhorrent.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gnogglebolt: Scoutvoice: ..That did not just happen. Aelian: PUN-ISHMENT. :E

RAM:<font color="#990000">Damn, I don't have my Lili'u token on my lappy.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The original encounter was Mistaken Identity.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So, I'm curious.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And then I remembered some innocuous urban encounters I'd borrowed from a list for the festival.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&quot;PC stung by a bee&quot; was one of them. :B

* RAM was gonna put him down and have him bug them about their son not showing up for surfing lessons. |3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">What was the expectation for the encounter we did get?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">If we had been not insane? :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">Anyway, noms...

TMG:<font color="#000000">And nom Thomas for the obvious: Healed a Bee! :D

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Thomas: SAVE DA BEES. Shankfang: HIWOULDYOULIKETOBEKIDNAPPED

RAM:<font color="#990000">Thomas...yeah, that.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Honestly, I was just going to use it for time while I rolled a better one. x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And then I rolled the second one, and it was...

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh yes..&quot; Tathi says, donning that devilish grin as she looks to Rusal.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&quot;An elf walks by with living snakes wrapped around his shoulders.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I couldn't resist. :B

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

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

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I'm not sure why, but Rhylinar was absolutely insistant that I call you &quot;Zai-Zai&quot; for now on.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">... We are not cute. &gt;///&gt;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hee, Zai-Zai.&quot;

* Rusal Ebonwood glares at Tathi. Dangerous glasses-glint.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You are so totally cute.

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

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

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I have recently acquired a new property, with a much larger cave system. After it is repaired, and made defensible, there shall be a party to celebrate.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Given that you recieved such a dare from my brother, I will let this go one time. However, there are only two people in this world who may call me that. You are not one of them. Do not test me.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;But dey hefn't had henny uf de cinnamon buns!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Will you be willing to attend again?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;You did go and buy the farm then?

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Quite. I have arranged for the farmer to remain on the land, living out his life in comfort.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sighs and rolls his eyes at the news.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nice of you. and what do you intend to do with the land above the caves then?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sheesh, you went and bought that. What're you going to do with the mechanized underground arena?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Mortal Kombat?&quot; :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The barns need to be repaired, farm hands need to be hired, a new farmhouse built...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;New cattle added on, some of the farm hands should be trained to help defend the farm in case of attack...&quot;

* Rusal Ebonwood has wrapped up two cinnamon buns for later.

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">Hey. HEY.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;That emblem in the arena needs to be melted down and sold.&quot;

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

* LiNeer swats Rusal's nose.

* Shankfang the Deffrider gives one to LiNeer.

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

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">You need to wrap one up for ME, too, you imbecile.

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">See, the half-orc has the right idea.

* Gamal-Junayd wraps up 4 more for him &quot;Please, feel free to take as many as you like&quot;

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

LiNeer:<font color="#000000">Hssssss &gt;.E

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&gt;: Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I intend to make the entire underground area a proto-monastery.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">But I gave you a cinnamon roll!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Proto monastary?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The arena...I'm not too sure yet. Possibly a secure form of storage, given that the rooms are so large, and have no mechanism to open from inside.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well yes. It can't be a proper monastery without monks.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And I have no acolytes, or fellow hermits in the area.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A monastery..? For Orgollyos' teachings?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;No.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Orgolloyss, Thomas.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Vadria..&quot; &gt;:d

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Orgolloyss teachings would have you stangling me to death.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Thank you I am terrible with names.&quot;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Vandria Gilmadrith. Steelheart, should that prove easier to recall.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus hangs head and murmurs more thanks. =w=;;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Not many elves would agree to live and work belowground. Apparently it's stiffling.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu schould hear him try to say Eyllisaearsiddek.&quot; :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Fact: I am exactly as good (awful) with names as Thomas. METHOD ACTING.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So I do not pin all my hopes on the church.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then what will it be dedicated to?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">At least I have the excuse of a terribly thick accent. :P

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;It will not be dedicated to any one diety, but of the art of hermitage itself.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... I've been practicing.&quot; =3=

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

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Impressive, Thomas.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#FF0000">For weeks. =3=;;;;

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;A colony of hermits. A paradoxical concept.&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... wasn't there a Monty Python sketch about that? *brick'd*

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A microcosim of the event that created Orgolloyss, without the stress of starving to death, and the drama of Lolth's machinations.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">A duplicate. :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi just giggles.

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;Provided we are in the area and not otherwise engaged, I do not believe Lethiriss would let such an occasion pass without providing some form of victuals for the festivities.&quot;

Lethiriss:<font color="#000000">Tongueflick. :3~

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

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;However, at the moment, we are late for opening the Ebonwood.&quot; Rusal nods, then turns to go...

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Good day, and good hunting.&quot;

* Lethiriss boops his cheek with her nose. Flat look, tongueflick. |3~

Rusal Ebonwood:<font color="#000000">&quot;... and thank you for the cinnamon rolls.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">How can a snake have a flat look.

Lethiriss:<font color="#000000">Much better. |3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">They have no face muscles other than for biting.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Our pleasure. Bai bai!&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, now lemme scroll up and get those other noms. :B Any more?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Gamal for Swords, though that was earlier. Also Gamal for Cinnibun stuffs.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Shankfang for Hugging, yet again.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And Tathi for provoking a character with 1.5 her HD.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">sszeyel. I'm gonna buy it, and make it a monostary. even if it'll have no monks

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sszeyl: Obtain cult. Replace with underground monastery.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Doddery's going to be weirded out when a bunch of the new farm hands are older-looking than he is, but still stronger.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Farmer: &quot;Atleast they aren't putting people on bloody hooks still. =3=&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I may be Venerable Age Category, but I'll punch your face off, sonny. :|&quot;

* Dr. Hatari is reminded of Shaolin Soccer.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Shaolin Harvest Moon?

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Shoot, you know what.

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

Doddery Old Farmer:<font color="#000000">Given Sszeyl signed paperwork with my name on it, my name's Jeremiah Crane. There we are. |3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">WHOA LIGHTNING.

GM:<font color="#000000">Saving campaign file!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">ololol got mah storm huh

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Secret of Mana. *_*

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Well that was a much more satisfactory session ending. :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Who has an open face slot among the front-line fighters?

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

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">This Third Eye Dampening looks like something we should try.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You know how Empower Spell works?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">third eye dampening?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">This Dampening eye does the reverse.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">But D: Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">that sounds like a psionic item

GM:<font color="#000000">The campaign file's been saved, and may go down at your leisure, spectral one. :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Any spell that targets you, like say Fireball, has all it's variable factors taken to the lowest.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Mmm, much more satisfying indeed.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Ehn, I've never even had a chance to use my spell defense spell so far.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">that IS a psionic item actually. dampening is a psi power

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Third Eye Dampening Price (Item Level): 2,500 gp (7th) Body Slot: Face Caster Level: 3rd Aura: Faint; (DC 16) abjuration Activation: Immediate (mental) Weight: &#8212; This matte black crystal seems to absorb any ambient light, rather than refl ect or refract it. You can activate a third eye dampening to reduce all variable numeric effects of the next power, psi-like ability, spell, or spell-like ability that affects you to the minimum value (if this power or spell would affect multiple creatures, only you are protected). This protection lasts until the end of your next turn. This ability functions once per day. Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, dispel magic or damp power (CP 82) Cost to Create: 1,250 gp, 100 XP, 3 days.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Dispel magic is also usable for it's crafting, so it's both Psi and Magic.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's great. :.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I should get that for tanking.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yeah it is

RAM:<font color="#990000">Cheap, too.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You could buy a bunch, and rotate them.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tom could afford it...

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">With no body slot..I might as well grab it be nice if it was more than once a day

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But he gave all his money to orphans and puppies and whatever else it is the Pelorites spend the charity on.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">All third eyes take up the face slot.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">That's why I asked.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I need to get some more stuff. Only slots I've used are feet and hands. :d

Tokens dropped onto map 'Tinker Workshop and VG HQ'Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Still have rings, neck, body, shoulders, face...

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Gnoll children. They're orphans and puppies! ^^

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">What else is there...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, good idea! :D

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Head, waist.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Yeah, those.

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

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Ioun stones.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Don't worry about filling slots.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Five lightning flashes in rapid succession.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">|D;;;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Having a bunch of esoteric flashy junk isn't an effective expendature of gold. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Just isolate things you want.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">All I really want is things to increase dex.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I do reccomend the bolt shirt, though, if you've already used feet.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">It's a cheap 60ft teleportaion.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And a Ring of Blinking.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Ring of Blinking is awesome.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You could shrink yourself.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Get +2 dex and +1 to hit. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And be Talfeera sized and not a creepy pervert anymore. *BRICKED!!*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">In a world where humans fuck Orcs, Elves, Dragons, Snake people - pretty much anything they can get their hands on really - why is it so unusual for a Half-Orc and a Gnome?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Humans don't fuck orcs. That's just bubbly fan-fic. =3=

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">because most of those, they are same size, or shapechanged into same size

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">and it's more like orcs rape humans

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">More importantly PUT A SHIRT ON. &gt;:O *bricked*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oi, my parents loved each other very much! &gt;:E

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He's half-streaker! It's in his jeans! =3= *b-dum-tch*

* Shankfang the Deffrider shoots Tom. &gt;:|

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Shall we explode?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Server comin' down. :3

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