Session 82

Ghostwish has connected.

 Liatai:Scanning..

Liatai:Scanning...

Liatai:-- OCH

Liatai:O_O

Liatai:ATTACK OF THE GARGANTUAN DORFS. XD

Ghostwish:That's an old one. XP

Liatai:How did I not notice that one?! XD

Ghostwish:Uhdunno. :P

Ghostwish:Scuse me, laundry in dryer naow. :3

Liatai:At least you have the decency to confine your trolling to the token layer. If you'd gone onto the object or background layers, I'd have to end you. Just sayin'.

Liatai::B

Ghostwish:CHALLUNGE? &gt;:3

Liatai:NO.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">CHALOONGE? &gt;:3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That would just be mean, you know how much time I spend on maps &gt;:|

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">But, but, giant pink flowers everywhere! :3

* Liatai throws so many fishes.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">After all, I think the two cameos I snuck in would like them. :3

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Wat -- *SCANS XD*

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Give me a hint, is it a player-visible map?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I know that Esaleth is still there on the world map.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">It is not player visible. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fazzy what are you doing in the Toris den. XD

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">GEM DRAGON UP IN YOUR LIBRARY.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nice portrait, though.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well there's one cameo...

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">:3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... Tathi always trolls Zairith, let's check the ZLR house.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">&gt;:3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Not there...

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">:3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nobody at HQ...

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">:3

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... dangit, if you trolled Seeds HQ, you probably spoiled yourself. Ah well.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;......&quot; &quot;....&quot; .o! &quot;Yes.&quot; ^.x

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aha. I see a Sam there. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Bwehehe, not really. You gave it away. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Did I? Darnit. :B Ah well.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Should still be fun. x3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I knows about Miacherry. And I is anxious and excited. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">How ominous.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The song I associate with Tomi as a theme song just came on.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo9EaYGmcN8

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

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">And is Tathi's trollolololol? :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I haven't really got one for Tathi. {:3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Not yet, anyway.

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

</i> Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Well speak of the doktor. :3

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

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Liatai: How ominous. Liatai: The song I associate with Tomi as a theme song just came on. Ghostwish: o.o; Ghostwish: Which one? Liatai: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo9EaYGmcN8 Ghostwish: And is Tathi's trollolololol? :P Liatai: I haven't really got one for Tathi. {:3 Liatai: Not yet, anyway.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Huh, so apparently I had a mini moment of lag there. :.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Dun-dun-dun :59

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:59 at :59. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">How much is D3 costing right now?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Usual box price in Gamestop, $60.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Or $63 technically.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Fffff. Still can't afford it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I am baffled by you and Rail saying this, actually.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I assumed you guys had higher income than me.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">rofl. He works part to full time at a community college. Me? My income is variable.

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

</i> Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Fair enough, certainly.

TMG:<font color="#000000">what'd I miss?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I recommend it when you can handle the dollar hit, though. I've gotten a dude to 30 and act 4. Very cool so far. They put more effort into the story, plot and presentation all-around since D2.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not a thing.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...oh, diablotalk. :B

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We could talk about benders if that would make you feel more comfortable. *brick'd*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh, I will get it. I don't pay the nega-hype any heed. of -course- it's going to have quirks and problems. It's a brand new, activision backed game.

TMG:<font color="#000000">!!!! FFFF I FORGOT TO WATCH IT AN HOUR AGO! &gt;:O

* Dr. Hatari eyerolls.

TMG:<font color="#000000">....well, almost no one is here...and it takes awhile for the game to really get in gear...

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

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">But good game? Fuck yeah. I played the damn beta and deemed it that then!

TMG:<font color="#000000">...crap, can't do left-facing shiftyeyes, forgot.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Anyways, yeah. The reception spats have sort of all hinged on people throwing their paperwork into their air and going ballistic over the changes from D2, and are judging it as such.

* Liatai waves a hand. &quot;Go watch.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Instead of judging it as improved Guild Wars.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Which is also always online and has an auction house and has the skill system they use.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">If they would look at it from that simple shift in perspective, I'm confident it would be like, &quot;Oh. Well. Alright then.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">intermittentafk. I'll be popping in to see if the game has started.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">GAME HAS STARTED.

* Ghostwish hides behind the couch. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">So who here has experience making GURPS super heroes? ;3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Never played true blue GURPs before.

TMG:<font color="#000000">aaand nevermind. Not a good time to watch. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Played in an online friend's BESM game once, though. My rudimentary understanding is that they're very mechanically similar.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Lia; don't suppose you've got the mental runtime to spare to participate in designing a small device right now, before the game starts?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No, I don't, I'm busy working on filling in NPCs.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And to answer your (rather strongly worded) concerns about Dorf...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghost, I had an idea to run by you if you're up for it. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">:3!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Having Dorf pop up as a &quot;PC-controlled NPC&quot; whenever it might make sense. He's another adventurer in the world, or whatever he does, and just keeps crossing paths with the Guardians. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sound fair?

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Sounds great! I think we'll have Thomas as an alcoholic before level 12!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That acronym makes no sense. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Player-controlled NPC. There. : Liatai:<font color="#000000">:B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">player controlled non player controlled character.

* Ghostwish goes cross-eyed.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Here's my challenge to you, then. Every time Dorf appears, I'm going to need a reason he's in the area and how he got there. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">&gt;:3!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">For example, having him show up in Lorellon in two days after seeing him in Thalinde wouldn't make a whole lot of sense without a good explanation behind it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">STALKIN YE is not an acceptable reason. *brick'd*

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">But TAVURNS is. :3

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Off on a tavern tour of Akellon, eh, Dorf? XD

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

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">We're going to have to keep track of how fast those stumpy legs can move. XP

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Isn't there some overland penalty for having a 20 base speed? :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's in the PHB. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I believe there is.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Irrelevant if you get and take care of a mount, of course.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Though I don't know what Dorf would keep.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Picture Dorf on a rhino.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Just picture it.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You're welcome. :B *brick'd*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">My first thought was honestly bumper-car.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I was gonna say boar, but that is just so perfect. XD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Clearly I am retarded.

* Ghostwish searches for stats to a rhino. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">*vrrrrrrMMMMM beep beep! The mound of hair rolls across the landscape following an electric rail.* *brick'd*

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Erk. Brb. Got a quick job to do.

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

</i> Liatai:<font color="#000000">Did I ever tell you guys the story about the Akellon rhinos?

TMG:<font color="#000000">...I think a boar would be more fitting. :.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">No? ;3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Too late tech. A rhino is just awesome.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh, I remember the rhino story! ...sort of

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">He's basically got the humvee of the dwarven world. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">After the old Akellon game ended, I ran a few one-shots for family in the same world. Roll up some characters, go into a dungeon, get swag. Simple things.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, one time, my cousin rolled up a dwarf and had some gold left over. He bought a rhino with it.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Cue the rest of the party going, &quot;... you can do that?!&quot; &quot;...&quot; *MASS SEARCHING OF POCKETBOOKS*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So the party rolled out with a rhino mount each. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Oh dear gods.. rhino mounts. XD

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Of course, none of us had any idea how to roll mounted combat at the time.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So the rhinos guarded the entrance of the dungeon while the party explored. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Okay, I have to know. How much do they cost? Exotic animal + training = ? :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I think it's in the AEG.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">*Farmers passing by* Oh, it's those adventurers again. 'How do you know?' *points at the herd of rhinos* 'What the sweet flippity fuck-'

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That sounds like an interesting random encounter hook.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">'You pass by a cave. Four loitering rhinos look up at you as you pass.'

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

Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Fitting name, yes? :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Now, I feel I should mention. Every family D&amp;D one-shot we play, we -always- end up leaving someone or something to guard the entrance of the dungeon. We also have a &quot;standard door etiquette&quot; that I'm sure I've mentioned before. This is because most of us are trained to expect my uncle as a DM. :B

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Many dwarves love the solid feel of a war rhinoceros beneath them. A rhino&#8217;s willingness to charge enemies only endears it further to them. A rhinoceros has a nearly prehensile upper lip, which it mainly uses for feeding. With training, though, a rhino can hold and carry delicate items such as a potion vial with its lip.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">YUP. DORF'S GOT 'IMSELF AH RHINER.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You leave the entrance to the dungeon unguarded, there is going to be an ambush party waiting for you to leave. No exceptions. XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">And apparently, they only cost 250 gp. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I learned a lot about treating the dungeon as a non-static environment from games he's run. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Allright, so if I'm reading this right, the rhino covers 24 miles a day to Dorf's 16. XD

Railock:<font color="#000000">so did you actually have to leave someone behind, or hire hirelings?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They had four rhinos. I'm pretty sure if that isn't good enough, there's a fucking boss fight lurking around out there.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, usually, we had an NPC with us. Like Krunk, the half-ogre. Krunk could handle most anything. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">They would deter boss fights, for pete's sake. &quot;They ride RHINOS? Yeah, level 5 my ass.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The problem with Krunk was that he had an Int of 5. Give him explicit instructions, he'd do okay. But... picture Sam without the Wis to temper it. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm pretty sure that, in any tactical combat situation, your enemies are going to be leery of any opponents who can resort to, &quot;okay, send in the rhinos.&quot;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's easy to understand how dwarves would appreciate them.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Big stunty foul-tempered creatures made out of armor and weapons.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And that is how the Deep Rhino came to be. *brick'd*

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;All thay need noo is a beard!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Who're we missing... VAE said he may be late, Meany's helping with moving... where's Ram?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">http://www.rhinos-irf.org/attachments/wysiwyg/4/woolly-rhino-3.gif

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

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">OOOOOOOOOO CCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:39 lagcheck?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">:40

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:40 at :40, yay.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Ram was in the chat a while ago.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I worry with this many big maps. ^^;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I need to consolidate some of the Castleton maps. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The Ebonwood could go on the same map as the ZLR residence, for example.

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

</i> Liatai:<font color="#000000">So I'm glancing over my collection of character sheets...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I notice this at the top of Miacherry's. &quot;Awakened-descended half-fey fox paladin of freedom 8. WHY. &quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I had a random silly thought earlier involving her.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&quot;Campaign: YOURS.&quot;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">In regards to the random encounter hook.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In passing, you notice there are four rhinos loitering nearby. Miacherry and Lumisteria sit close to them, struggling to maintain innocent looks in your general direction.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Do you: TMG:<font color="#000000">a) walk up and ask them what trouble they're up to now?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Also for some reason I imagined them fusion dancing into some kind of dragon with doodle-bobs and googley eyes.

TMG:<font color="#000000">b) Stare at the scene you know is going to explode soon

TMG:<font color="#000000">or c) Walk away and pretend you didn't se anything. Whatever is about to happen is NOT your problem.

TMG:<font color="#000000">0:3

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">brb, making tomato soup. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">On a tangentally related note regarding my random stupid ideas..

RAM:<font color="#990000">I choose D, kill the rhinos and loot their bodies.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I hit some kind of record for not being able to sleep last night and may be puttering today. =w=;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It was more like a one hour nap after work and then a lot of tossing and turning and sighing wide awake in the dark. =3=

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... well, at least silly Tom will be easy enough to play? ^^; *brick'd*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Can has caffeine =3=

GM:<font color="#000000">Well, it's after 3 PM, snugglecat has arrived, and we have all but two players here. So! Shall we do a character question or two, then head into adventure?

* Liatai hands the doktor a soda.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">... er, we do have people here, yes? =3=;

GM:<font color="#000000">Oh hey, a Ram!

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">A wild Ram appeared!

GM:<font color="#000000">Today's character question would probably be more interesting if these weren't adventurers, but maybe Gamal's will be interesting. :B

Railock:<font color="#000000">I'm semi here. cooking lunch

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;What does a typical grocery list look like for your character?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Fruits, veggies, pastas, basically non-meats.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It never fails. ^^;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">unfotunatly as a player I don't know enogh about cooking to really answer this one that well. heh. &quot;Spices, meat, fruit, vegetables, hell, anything I can get my hands on. fun to experiment

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The beginning of every session I'm still waking up. And my answer to most character questions is usually, &quot;Grhhhnmrmmrrmmnnhn =3= *leaning face on knuckles*&quot;

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

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does your character have any allergies or sensitivities? How do they affect his life?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Meat. Meaning, I can't eat it.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">I used to get hay fever when I was little... :.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I still get hay fever. :| I am not used to Kellon pollens.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Is very annoying for stealth.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Nothing special. Nothing that I'm aware of, anyways. We're a pretty healthy lot in general. Unless you count *fistclench* FIIIIEEEENNDDSSSSSS *_*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Symptoms: Mild fever, irritability. *brick'd*

GM:<font color="#000000">Haha. &quot;Does your character enjoy camping outdoors?&quot; :B

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Yeah! :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Do boats count? &gt;:O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Of course! I do it every chance I get!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Not really, no...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">In fact, there was this one time.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;outdoors is nice, but inside is better, sagfer from sandstorms, and baths are always welcome&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I prefer bed to camp. =w=; But it's needed. No complaining about what needs to be done.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Talfeera and I were out camping, and we *Censored, this campaign is rated PG-13*

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">See, this is why she's never going to enter the game. *BRICK'D*

GM:<font color="#000000">This is an interesting one. &quot;What is your character's least favorite physical activity?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Chopping firewood. :| Teasel's faster at it than I am, anyway.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Trying to run to catch up with all the damn tall-legs in the middle of a fight. &gt;:o

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hmm, least favorite...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">That's a hard one.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I like almost all of them!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I will try almost anything once. :3 Am not so fond of the idea of dwarven sports. Confusing and brutish. What is a caber anyway?

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Why do they not just call it a log or a tree?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I suppose I would be bricked if I said 'sailing'. Then maintaining my armor. A templar spends long hours in their gear, and it needs to be maintained in impeccable shape and appearance regardless of what use and wear it sees. It's all the more annoying these days after having enchanted it to be comfortable and sleeping in it half the time. The padding and leather needs cleaned all the time from sweat, and I would rather do other things than all that.

GM:<font color="#000000">I know we did this one... ages ago, but it should still be fun. :B

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

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;A very large centipede runs across your character's leg. What does she do?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">*KUNAI'D* :|

Edaric:<font color="#000000">GAH! *flail!* Off, off, shoo!

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You shot the centipede.

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Go back to my spellbook.&quot; :3

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Immediately identify its species, gender, and attitude. Possibly tame it, and name it Ralph.&quot;

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Ralph regardless of gender?

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

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Allright. Ah ken A've hud enough tae dram whin ah stairt seeing centipedes in taverns.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;WHOAgeeze--wait a second, the way that thing moves...that makes for interesting motion-study...heeeey, this gives me ideas...&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meany texted; he's going to be super ultra mega late.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Depends. If I'm alone? It's probably about to catch on fire.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">If someone bullyable is around? It's probably sailing their way. &gt;:3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">kick it off and kill it before it bites. could be poisonous

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">TGUM: &gt;:O!!! *lightning bolt'd*

Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Rowen Angelos:<font color="#990000">How did this get in my mech?!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Here, Ael, you can have my centipede. =w=;;;

Tokens dropped onto map 'Thalinde'Lili'u:<font color="#990000">Duuuuude, that things has, like, a hundred legs...|3

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... upon reflection, kunai would not likely be best course of action. =w=;;;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well atleast you didn't shoot yourself. *brick'd*

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">I will name him Charlie, and tell everyone he is a unicorn.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">It would work fine! Just gotta hit it right!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Stunt Shot, buddy!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Use kunai to pick up centipede and send into bushes.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Tell everyone he's a unicorn -- Ael did Tathi give you some elven moondrop? ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Only a little... ^^;;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">THE SKY TASTES SO BEAUTIFUL.

GM:<font color="#000000">Righto! Any sign of the lynx in IRC?

GM:<font color="#000000">If so, send him this way, since we're kicking off!

GM:<font color="#000000">Last session in Akellon... Thalinde Episode 2, Attack of the Drow.

GM:<font color="#000000">... except it was more like Sudden Arrival of the Paladins. Oof. Wee bit of drama there. Seems the Marathals weren't quite as prepared as was thought, and news of drow-related trouble's set the town on edge. Things seem to have worked out well enough for now, though.

GM:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile, Thomas avoided the drama and had a few pints with a dwarf.

GM:<font color="#000000">And Gamal was confused by the plots.

RAM:<font color="#990000">And I can has pizza!

* RAM omnomnoms.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I consider my sub-plot the Good end.

GM:<font color="#000000">It's now mid-afternoon in Thalinde, and Thomas has been having a slightly inebriated conversation with Gamal and Edaric. The rest of the party is elsewhere in Thalinde... Take it away!

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt meanders with the others after they leave the Marathal house.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I.. actually forgot what Tathi and Aelian were doing. I remember dwarf though! XD

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang rolls aimlessly through town, enjoying a nice, relaxing ride. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The last I remember Tathi doing was showing the statue to Pell.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Then plotting mischief against Zairith.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yeah, Gnogglebolt was there. We left that part off at leaving the house, didn't do anythig beyond that

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

* Thomas Lazarus rubs his head. =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Did you guys do whatever you came to do at ... Arivan's place?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... sooooooo, while you're here, Tom. Any way I could bother you for a Sending sometime in the next few days?&quot; {:3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh, sure! Absolutely. I'm always pleased to be able to help with that kind of thing.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">And then he belches, loudly. XP

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt eventually follows the other until they meet up with Thomas on the street. Depending on if Thomas is still drunk or not, he might notice something a little...off about the gnome.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I... think so? Arivan said things turned out okay, at least. Got our ears chewed off by his daughter, though.&quot; ^^; &quot;I don't know how Sszeyl's business turned out.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom would atleast do one of those muffled two-stage exhale belches. He's only lightly drunk. :B

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">VROOOOOOM!

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">His shoulders are drooping, there's none of that customary spring in his step, and his head is hung low.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Question for you two. How well stocked is your kitchen in castleton? I've noticed none of you seem to have any intrest in cooking, so was wondering if I should start picking up regional specialties and spices? Since staples are aslmost always available wherever you go.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Dust cloud as the deffbike comes sliding to a halt before Thomas and all them. :3

* Edaric pauses. &quot;... I don't know, usually it depends on if Sszeyl --&quot; Cough cough dustcloud. &gt;.o

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah, that's a shame.. well.. I guess we should round everybody up and meet with the Torises.&quot; Tom looks over and offers a weak wave. |3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt barely reacts to the dustcloud other than waving the dust out of his face.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">The Tathi Gang approaches! &quot;Hello again, are we ready to-&quot; And then she pauses, and sniffs lightly, before smirking at Thomas. &quot;- done sampling the local taverns?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oi, oi, guess vat Hy got!&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; Uh-oh. I recognize that look. Ed's keeping a concerned eye on Gnogglebolt.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang opens the box in his arm, and pulls out...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">A very revealing, low-cut silk nightie. Sized for a Gnome. :D

* Thomas Lazarus blinks several times, apparently not all that sharp at the moment. &quot;...&quot; |3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Playing a tipsy person is easy while tired and distracted. =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances up and Shankfang and wrinkles his nose. &quot;Oh, put that away. We don't need to know.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Swallowtail seems to be stricken with a small case of the silent giggles.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Fold fold, back in the box. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dey hef a vole bunch uf silk kloddes here!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right, let's get captain heals a lot here sobered up, and ready for the next leg of the trip. Who wants to dunk him in the river first?&quot; Tathi says jokingly.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Isn't that a bit small for you shankfang?

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ohhhhhh. Does Gamal know about Shankfang's fiance? x3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hain't for me, iz for my fiance!&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh dear, I don't know if anyone told him yet. xD

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh this will be amusing.

Shankfang the Deffrider: <font color="#990000">(( I knoooooow. :3 ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We should find the Torises and make plans before it gets dark, huh?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Too bad Gnogglebolt's in a deep blue funk at the moment, oh well. :B

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

* Gamal-Junayd thinks for a moment.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Excuse me, miss Swallowtail.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, Thomas?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It came up earlier and - may I ask how old you are?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I knew womens clothes were generally smaller than mens, but I didn't know they made em that much smaller. does it stretch or soemthing?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Old enough to know that question is trouble.&quot; :P

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;No, silly. It iz chust her size.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;D'ooh, don't be like that.&quot; {|3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;How small is she?&quot;

* Swallowtail frowns. &quot; You will laugh. &quot; &gt;.&gt;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Why Thomas, you pervert!&quot; Tathi jabs. :P

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;She iz a Gnome.&quot; :3

* Edaric sweatdrops, and goes over next to Gnogglebolt.

* Thomas Lazarus deflates somewhat. &quot;Whaat. Come on. I won't laugh. And I'm not a pervert.&quot; &gt;|O &quot;It just happened to come up in conversation earlier.. and I realized I actually had no idea. She isn't even in this country of her own volition.. I think.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Hey. You heard what Arivan said, right? It all turned out okay in the end.&quot; {:3 To the gnome.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">w gostwish super advantages I believe

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just watches Gamal and Shankfang with a totally uncustomary deadpan face.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your fiance is a gnome?&quot;

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I am nineteen.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Would'nt that make her...too small for..you?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Aw, that's nothing to laugh at.&quot; |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi's giggling. |3

* Edaric kneels down and cautiously tries to scritch Snarky.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;No, not too schmall at hall...&quot; |3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang now has a dreamy, far-away look.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglwebolt looks up to Edaric when he spoke, and shrugs. &quot;I know, I know...it just... I still just feel so bad about i.&quot; He says quietly.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*about it

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Snarky leans in.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas, still leaning partially on Gamal, points a finger at Swallowtail. &quot;You've stood and fought with us against a giant, and zombies -- while scarcely armed and pulled out of a noose no less -- battled pirates and ... I don't know, invisible flying blue ogres.&quot; =w=; &quot;..You're really humble. For a nineteen year old, that's a lot. You even performed a quest for Lady Salishea!&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Please don't shock me, little thing... {:3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I...I...think I'm going to go and get some spices to cook with now.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You need.. to hold your head higher!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Mmmm, ja...&quot; |3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas, do you think you can manage on your own now?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And he doesn't even know the whole story yet. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Of course.&quot; He pats Gamal twice.

Snarky:<font color="#000000">No actual shocking, but SNarky does make that rapid clicking sound excitedly, which makes Edaric and Gnogglebolt's hair stand up and Edaric's fingertips to tingle slightly.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;While Thomas is a bit too far into the bottle, he does have a point, Swallowtail.&quot;

* Swallowtail looks confused. &quot;... Hold my head higher?&quot; ...

* Gamal-Junayd slips out from supporting thomas, and heads off to the market. to get away from thinking about size differences.

* Edaric stops scritching. ^^;;;;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, it means to take more pride in yourself.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">liatai, how much for spices/specialty products and cooking supplies? getting good variety

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Snarky blinks and looks up at Edaric, almost with lizardy disappointment.

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. Common idioms.&quot;

Snarky:<font color="#000000">LEAP! Suddenly, he hops onto Edaric and crawls on his shoulder! (seriously, lizards can jump. When those geckos we have get excited, hooboy...)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas demonstrates by assuming a more rigid posture and raising his chin confidently. &quot;..I've never seen you do this.&quot; |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're allowed. You deserve to be looked up to. Not down on.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Don't fall over backwards, Thomas..&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">!!! &quot;Whoa!&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Balance...

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Tom doesn't, but Ed almost does. There's some amusing flailing.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Aaand Shankfang is officially in dreamland, eyes half closed, mouth open slightly, and a slight blush. |3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Brb, sacred canine duty.

Snarky:<font color="#000000">The lizard perches on Edarics shoulder and nuzzles up into the crook of his neck, and nestles in Edaric's bigger shoulder.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... ehe... friendly little jumpy thing, aren'tcha.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's his -- her -- what's your little friend's name again, Gnogglebolt?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I called 'em Snarky.&quot;

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Click.

* Swallowtail hesitates a moment, then mimics Thomas' pose. Srs! :|

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's that clicking mean?&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Huzzabuwha-?&quot;

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">For cooking supplies... let's say about 20 GP.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smiles, nodding to Swallowtail. &quot;See, there you go, and you can do it without bobbing around like Thomas is.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That'll net you some top-quality spices, local specialties, a few cookbooks, and other miscellanous high-quality cooking gear.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. Wild shocker lizards make that clicking noise when they feel threatened. It's not actually a sound they make with vocal cords or their bodies, but it's a rapid, very very tiny harmless electric discharge. That's why your hair stands on end when they do it, they're charging up the air.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Voo, schpaced for a second dere.&quot; |3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is making self a target.&quot; ^^;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The domesticated Sparkers just do it whenever they're excited, or they feel like it.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;How so?&quot; She asks.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vat deed Hy miss?&quot;

* Swallowtail goes back into her more usual stance.

* Gamal-Junayd writes it down as cooking supplies - Thalinde timeto start gathering spices from around the world

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">brb, checking laundry

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Standing straight all the time. Makes it harder to hide behind cover.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... It's not going to set fire to anything again, is it?&quot; ^^;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Better humble and flexible than proud and dead.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It shouldn't have -ever- set anything on fire. I've never seen or heard of that before. It's just the silly magic in your banjo.&quot; Hello, instrument-dumbness. :B

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's not a banjo, it's a lute.&quot; :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just shrugs again.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Banjos have flat, round bodies and straight necks. Lutes have pear-shaped hollow bodies and bent necks.&quot; Music geek go. :B

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">When did Snarky set something on fire?!

TMG:<font color="#000000">Back in Resca, Snarky did his rapid clicking thing while Edaric was strumming his Lute. -I- had just said that the only effect was the lute's metal strings started shockign Edaric's fingertips.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl/Meany then said it was on fire, and it became canon. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Back. With ''beggin' dog. &gt;:O''

RAM:<font color="#990000">How did I miss that?!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Doggie :D

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

* RAM gives doggie table scraps. :D

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We were outside in the rain or something.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I dunno, you were there. :B

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh yeah, or Shankfang was with Thomas sitting outside

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi giggles. &quot;It's only for walking around, silly. Not our more violent past times.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;M'ah.&quot; He relaxes too. &quot;It's more the philosophy than the stance.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;It's oncomfortable to schtund like dat for a long time, tough.&quot; =3=

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;.... anyway...&quot; {:3 &quot;What's been done's been done, no changing that. What do we learn from it? You don't give up on an invention because it blows up in your face once, right?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;And silly.&quot; :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Tough dat hes heppened to him plenty uf times, too.&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know you don't, the proof's on your back.&quot; Ed smiles, gesturing to the bombchucker.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I simply meant, you do not need to be so humble among us. You're worthy of a lot of respect. Not gonna go teasing you for being nineteen or whatever else.&quot; Tom folds his arms. |3

* Swallowtail opens her mouth as if to say something, then shuts it and just nods. &quot;... I will try.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I am an evil retard. I had this wily urge, just for a moment, to have tathi go good girl and slap swallowtail on the ass. WTF BRAIN.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy em only tventy tvo, myself.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sighs. &quot;I...suppose, though I'm used to it. To carry your analogy, when it blows up in someone -else's- face...I just...as I was telling Thomas before, twice now, I've actually contributed to making something worse.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">DOOOOO EEEEET!

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">BAD END.

RAM:<font color="#990000">GOOD GAME HER, TATHI!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;There will always be bad things and misfortune in the world, no matter how hard we try to change that, though what matters -is- that we make things better where we can...but when I actually make things go bad myself...&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, that extension doesn't work, that bombchucker blew up in my face too and sent my letter flying.&quot; :P

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

* Gamal-Junayd heads back as well with his spices after shopping, approaching with caution as they talk to rhinodorf

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He looks to Dorf. &quot;Oh. Hello again. No, sorry, I already did too much..&quot; ^^;; &quot;We need to be going, here, sooner or later.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But thank you for the good company, friend.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">Seriously, how's he stopping the rhino? It doesn't have any harness or reins or nothing. It is beard talk?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm Thomas. What did you say your name was?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Yes, beard talk.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Never underestimate the power of beard.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ear brakes? *brick'd*

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Dorf!&quot; He announces, beaming. &quot;Dorf Aias. A'm heading up north, intae th' desert. Word is, thir's dwarven ruins oot in th' sand. Noo, whit a dwarf wis thinking building oot thare, ah will ne'er know!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus furrows his brow as his attention returns to the rhino. &quot;...&quot;

Trample:<font color="#0000FF">There's a deffbike almost right next to it, and is a single fuck given? Nope.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...arabian desert dwarves.

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; That is the ugliest unicorn ever.&quot; {|3

TMG:<font color="#000000">actually sounds kinda awesome. :.

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

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">And absolutely zero fucks were given this day.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...the mental image of a turban-wearing dwarf is surprisingly cool. :.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What? Unicorn!? Ha! Ye did dram awfy much! Trample 'ere is a rhino! 'N' a richt proper yin tae! isnae that richt, Trample?&quot;

Trample:<font color="#0000FF">Ear flick.

* Thomas Lazarus rubs chin. &#171; &#160;1d20-1 = 1 - 1 = 0&#160;  &#187; |3

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">... Shenkfang, your accent is no longer the most impenetrable one I have ever encountered.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Better hope they aren't led by Sawu, though. :B

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">OBBA GOBBA DWARF SPEEK.

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Kan Hy hug him?&quot; :D

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">D: Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">But...but Jager accent!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Can you not hear that dwarf? :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&gt;: Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I dinnae see how come nae. Ah think it micht mak' him happy, really!&quot; He says to Shankfang.

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

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">J&#228;germonster gets hardcore shitfaced. Begins speaking in all vowels and V's.

GM:<font color="#000000">That begs the question..

GM:<font color="#000000">How exactly do you hug a rhino? :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I have to do that one of these days.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Via Half-Orc hug magic!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB, snack getting. x3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Bewildered Tom dismisses it as some sort of cultural barrier thing and continues.

Trample:<font color="#0000FF">Not a care in the world.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah.. we just met a fellow from those sands not long ago.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Aw! He's sae happy now!&quot; pat pat!

Trample:<font color="#0000FF">Ear flick.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;M'ah. Good luck on your journeys friend Dorf.&quot;

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Hey, hey, Trample!

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Really? Does he ken anythin' aboot th' area aroond Alaz. Alay. That muckle dragon's peak?&quot;

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Trample! Hey, Trample!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh.. well. He might. He's a pretty knowledgable guy.&quot;

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

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

Trample:<font color="#0000FF">Ear flick.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Absolutely zero fucks given.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hmm.. let's see..&quot; Tom peers about. |. &quot;His name's Gamal. He's a human all wrapped up in white and cloaks.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oi, oi, Dorf! How fast kan he go?&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">The dwarf turns around in his 'station' on top of the rhino, looking for the aforementioned human.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I cannot help but reflect on the suspension of disbelief we sometimes take for granted in Maptool.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Since Gamal is, in fact, standing between Tom and Dorf.

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

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Depends. Is he calm? Speed insae his thing. Bit he doesn't stoap, whilk is guid! is he mad? Then he is gey fleet, 'n' he doesn't stoap, whilk is bad!&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">Gamal has come back form shopping, but he's standing on the edge of the group

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">If Swallowtail tilts her head curiously each time Dwarf talks, then she should have done a full circle by now... :P

Gamal-Junayd whispers: and do I know anything about whatever peak he's mentioend?

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Pfft, I'm faster. =3=

Trample:<font color="#0000FF">You stop when you hit a brick wall.

Trample:<font color="#0000FF"><b>I don't.

</b> Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">I'd bet on trample come the collision

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">I go around!

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">:O

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Shankfang! You need to upgrade me to scale walls!

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Whatever happened to those paladins anyways.. ... ..what are we doing here?&quot; {|3

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh! Thare he is! Awright thare. Dae ye ken anythin' aboot th' area aroond that stoatin dragon's mountain?&quot; He calls out to Gamal.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Bewildered Tom loiters until plot progression. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Does Gnogglebolt hear Thomas's mutterings?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oh, gawddammit.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">What was the movie, where they had, like, three people to translate one guy's mutterings into intelligible speak?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">'Fraid so.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Hot Fuzz!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Thirty-eight!

RAM:<font color="#990000">That's it!

RAM:<font color="#990000">I can imagine that happening here, actually.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know of it, why?&quot; asking the person who knows the least about akellon geography...

RAM:<font color="#990000">Dorf say something.

* TMG wonders if -anyone- gets that crazy tangent I just went off into...

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Shankfang translates it into his slightly easier to understand accent.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Then, say, Gnogglebolt translates it into normal common.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Supposedly, thir's dwarven hings somewhere in that area. Ken o' ony o' it?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">ah dang, I don't have the record I made anymore...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Oh wel. Back IC! Gnogglebolt leans over to Thomas. &quot;Oh, that business is over with, actually.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't think anyone still has anything to do here now. Shall we round everyone up?&quot;

You whisper to Railock: Gamal would certainly know about Alazphraxion's Peak. It's the home of a brass great wyrm dragon, considered to be the de facto ruler of the desert, or at least the oldest and wisest of the brass dragons that call the desert home. It's a great volcanic mountain surrounded by glass plains, and yes, there are rumors of ancient dwarven ruins under the sands.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've heard rumors of such, but have never gone hunting for them myself.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods a few times.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Freeze-pop followed by a cup of tea. Antipodean taste sensation. *brick'd*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Oh.&quot; Tom taps his forehead with an index finger a few times. =w=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm sorry, Ed. I got super side-tracked by.. ... ..something.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You wanted to send a message to someone?&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, cheers anyway then. A've git a lang haul up thare tae th' desert, sae ah best git gaun. Fair travels tae you!&quot; He says, waving as the rhino starts tromping off again.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Probably the bike or the rhino.&quot; x3

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

* Edaric waves as the dwarf and rhino amble off.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#0000FF">Wave wave och!

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did you understand anything he said?&quot; ^^;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Most of it.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can someone explaining me rhino-man speak?&quot; =w=;;;;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy like him.&quot; :3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smirks. &quot;A bit. Dwarves have a very thick dialect, so their mastery of common is a bit muddled.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus laughs.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Really? Hy hed an easier time onderstundink him den Hy do hyu guys!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've heard a few other dwarven traders talking in Lorellon before. You pick up an ear for it.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Anyway... yeah. It doesn't need to be right away, I need some time to figure out how to put everything in 25 words. I just figured it'd be good to let the Talodors know their son's been found and is coming home.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh... yeah, absolutely.&quot; He nods.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Which reminds me. What about those plans for a short jaunt home?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did you guys see the rhino?!&quot; :O :O :O An excited little girl comes running up to the Guardians.

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

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">HALF-ORC SNATCHED!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sure did! Did you see that dwarf riding along on top of him?&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah! Yeah!&quot; :O

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Rhinos are usually rare in these parts.. but I hear dwarves raise them. There's supposed to be some poor taste joke about ill-tempered beards and ill-tempered animals.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The rhino didn't seem to have that bad of a temper, let shankfang hug him.&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;A rhinoceros!&quot; :O

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Aye, and, by the way.. How was he guiding it?? &quot; ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;He vas really huggable!&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wow, you hugged a rhino?&quot; :O

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

Max:<font color="#000000">Two bards follow Terri. Max is chuckling a little, and Tharky waves. :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; He probably would have hugged Max's fire elemental if there weren't a gate in the way.&quot; |3

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

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

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

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oof!&quot; Max laughs. &quot;You're probably right, Tom...&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why would you ever do that?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Und hello Terky!&quot; HUG'D TOO!

Tharky:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think I'll pass on the hu --&quot; HUG'D

Tharky:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 18 + 3 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Dex check...

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

Tharky:<font color="#000000">No bottles of ink break in the middle of the glomp, at least.

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

Tharky:<font color="#000000">DX

* Tharky tries to wiggle free. &quot; Ow -- Shankfang, can't breathe. &quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Aaaand release'd.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, how much longer before we head out?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sounds like all our business is done. I guess.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hey Terri, guess what!

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right, all right, that's enough, Shankfang... Actually, that's what I wanted to ask you all. Do you want to stay tonight in Thalinde, or go a little farther to the woods near Willow Lake?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hup, nevermind.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh...Max. Didn't you say you wanted to go meet Arivan yourself? Or have you already done that?&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's the rush?&quot; |3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Let's go kampink in de voods!&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shrugs. &quot;Was just wondering. The rest of us are ready to head out now, I suppose.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I would just as soon get a move on, to tell you the truth. I've some time-consuming errands to get out of the way in Castleton. Not to mention an enchantment I'd like to have begun as soon as possible.. even if those two in Yoriver can watch each others backs.. I feel like every day I'm not there is a breach of duty.&quot; Tom frowns and watches the grass.

* Max speaks in Draconic. &quot;(We are both long-lived, and I pass through this area all the time. No need to meet today.)&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think we all just want to get back to our collective home, now.&quot;

Max:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right, then. To the woods!&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which, speaking of, I think is done now, from Barbarus's last message. I oversaw the first stages of the construcion and drew up all the blueprints myself, I hope it's much more adequate for us than our 'temporary' headquarters...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy kan' vait to see it!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....which does also remind me.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ohhhh~ I'm sure whatever's available will be just fine. Even the last place was. It's nice having a bed to fall into that doesn't need inn rent paid.&quot; ^^

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hear hear, Tom.&quot; :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not paying rent is always nice.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shankfang...weren't you saying you're still looking for a home, and a new job to settle down in here in Akellon, and unless I'm mistaken, you do seem to have decided to stick with us.&quot; Gnogglebolt nods to Thomas. &quot;Well, the new headquarters has solid reinforced stone walls, at least. So, if anyone was bothered by the elves before with only curtains for walls, that's not going to be an issue anymore...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; ..Well I suppose we still pay rent on the property or whatever.. but.. it's a lot lower than Inn rates. And only once a month.&quot; |9

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Yah, Hy em indeed lookink for a home for Talfeera und me. Hy tink Hy already hef de job down, tough. SCHtickink around hyu guys hes been qvite prufitable.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway...&quot; Gnogglebolt turns back to Shankfang. &quot;I'm...still not entirely sure how I feel about you and my sister, and I don't know about having her around the place, but...&quot; Gnogglebolt hangs for a moment. &quot;There's plenty of room. If you like the headquarters enough to stay, and no one else objects, I'm sure it'll be open as a home for you, if you want.&quot;

* Tharky and Terri are working to reaffix the harness to Max, now that the party is back outside of Thalinde proper and in the woods.

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Now to see if Gamal picked up the 'sister' line...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hey, Gnogglebolt...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">HALF-ORC HUG'D!

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

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu are de best brodder ever!&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">gamal leans over to thomas and whispers &quot;He's not only enganged to a gnome, but it's gnoggles sister as well?&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">The little gnome just wiggles heplessly as the breath is squeezed out of his lungs.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hmm, to squeeze or not to squeeze.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">That is the question.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Nah, don't wanna kill him.

* Thomas Lazarus smirks a bit. |3 &quot;(Oh, sure. It's a bit of a sore spot between them, though, so best not to dwell on it too openly. In fact, the first time they met in our company, Gnogglebolt chased him around with a shotgun for a while.)&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Uhf!&quot; Gnogglebolt is dumped in a pile on the ground.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I...I still don't get the sheer size difference that must be involved...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;(Dooon't get him started.)&quot; =w=;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot; Try not to think on it much. It hurts the brain and gets nowhere. &quot; =w=;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vat kan Hy say? She likes 'em big.&quot; &gt;:3

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ahem, you do remember we have a four-year-old among us?&quot; :P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt claps his hands over his ears. &quot;Not around meee!&quot; He wails.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Whap for the half-orc. -.-;;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't make me think twice about offering you a home.&quot; &gt;:[

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whaaaaat? What is it this time?&quot; :|

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;When you're older, Terri!&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd just shakes his head, not wanting to think about it either

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which, speaking of, I should check with everyone else. How about it, folks, are there any objections to Shankfang and...my sister, moving in with us in the new HQ? There's enough rooms.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Don't make me use the puppy eyes...

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why would we object?&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;'Course not. It's a guildhouse.. sorta.. anyways, right? Anybody along for the ride might as well consider themselves worthy of a room.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, that reminds me.&quot; :o

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Barbarus said he was recruiting.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does this mean we're going to have minions -- underlings?&quot; x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shrugs at Edaric. &quot;I wouldn't know, I just thought it'd be a good idea to make sure it was a group thing,.&quot;

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

</i> Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;There are a lot of adventurers in Castleton.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt blinks...and frowns.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That...he did say that, didn't he?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Who knows. Maybe we'll have that group of people that raided Sszeyl's house living with us.&quot; |3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt stays frowning, but doesn't say anything more, apparently in thought.

* Edaric snerks. x3

RAM:<font color="#990000">Lia, do you remember how many of those potion candies I bought? Id didn't save to my sheet. =3=

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Five Cure Moderate Wounds potion candies.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Apple, I think was the flavor. I can check.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Yeah, it was apple.

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meany! :D

* Dr. Hatari offers flying thunder greetings.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I am tired, slightly annoyed, and I have made it clear that if I am disturbed for anything less than the house on fire.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If it's a guild house...are you planning a charter and everything?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">That I shall lob large, heavy objects at people's faces.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Map, and location please.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Thalinde, in the woods.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We're in the clearing in Thalinde.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Technically, in flight or close to it.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Three hours in and still on the first map.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We're talking with Max and affixing ye olde harness.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">About to fly off into the travel montage.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... You know...&quot;

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I shall preload.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I le see no HQ maps for preloading. XO

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gamal, do you have experience with setting up a guild or some kind of adventurer's group?&quot; :3 &quot;I mean, you've probably seen a lot of them in your time.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. Not all that fancy commercial official guild stuff, I guess. No charter that I'm aware of.&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll unlock everything just for a moment.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We've kind of been winging it, anyways. A charter would just be a burden right now.&quot; Tom handwaves. |3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've never run one, but I have traveled with many. Most adventuring groups tend to be called Adventuring companies, not guilds. And they do tend to have charters and such.&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What goes into an adventuring company's charter?&quot; :.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks at Gamal. &quot;No, no, not exactly.&quot;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Generally..their rules and regulations. Who they accept, who's in charge, how they are organized, what rights and privilages do members get.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;From what I had envisioned, I was just building a more premanent residence for our collective group to reside, but at the same time, have my tinker workshop built into it, but separate from us.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't know -what- Barbarus is doing, and I didn't account for extra rooms for whoever the heck -he's- bringing in..&gt;&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;He didn't run any of this by any of us beforehand.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Might well be something to look into if we grow much larger as a group...&quot; :3 &quot;We've already got a crest, and a name.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And we thus never bothered with a charter or anything.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, perhaps that needs ot be worked out. If you ARE recruiting, perhaps another building could be built. Organize a true guild ouse and such.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Bafroom, brb!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;-I- certainly wasn't recruiting, at least, not for our adventuring side. Only for tinkers to teach on my workshop side, which is a completely separate operation.&quot;

* Edaric has a faint dreamy look to his face. &quot;Founding an adventuring company... wow...&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Going to have to have words with that catfolk...find out what promises he made.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are we to fly today or no?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! yes, yes, let us embark.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, I'd say then, perhaps the first step is figuring out what exactly does everyone who's involved think is best, wether it should remain a small group, or form a full on company.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Yeah. Let's go.&quot; :3

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">Up, up, and away!

Tokens dropped onto map 'Leaden Mace Society'Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I personally thought we were going to stay our small group...indeed, we are all going to have to talk with Barbarus about this. He didn't make this plan with any of us first, he just seems to have gone and done it...&quot;

Meany whispers: Did you adjust the notes/stats on the tokens while I was away, or ahll I do that?

Meany whispers: shall*

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

You whisper to Meany: I didn't adjust anything, except adding some stats to the tokens' mouseover statblocks.

Gamal-Junayd whispers: since ed was the one asking, can I perhaps hazard a guess it's you who wants us to be a company? heh

You whisper to Railock: Ed likes the idea of a company. Swallowtail is ambivalent.

You whisper to Railock: I just want to see what happens. |3 *brick'd*

Tokens dropped onto map 'Vigilant Guardian HQ'Tokens dropped onto map 'Vigilant Guardian HQ'Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ohhh~ no need to go getting possessive about it. It's not like he needs our say to organize some up and coming adventurers.&quot; |3

Meany whispers: Then I'll get right to it. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just shrugs.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;A company can make more money and aquire better jobs than a group. Create multiple groups, havea reputation for doing the job right, an suddenly your the people in the area that everyone looks to when a job comes along.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus clings to a Max-spine. =w=;

Meany whispers: Letting you know, both my Elvish wizards are using the substitution class 1st level out of Races of the Wild.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;It should just be interesting talking shop with other adventurers, even... man. And if Barbarus was in charge of recruiting, you know they'll be a bunch of characters.&quot; x3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hope it was not recruited at night by force.&quot;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So..who is this barbarus?&quot;

* Edaric 's face falls a little bit. &quot; ... oh yeah. Nearly forgot about that. &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, he's another one of us who didn't come with us on this excursion, due to...injury.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Up to you visionary entrepreneur types. I'm just along for the ride.&quot;

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I'm sorry, I was in tokens.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Are you close to Castleton yet?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'll find out from him eventually any--wait. No.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;One-eyed, one-armed northern catfolk. ... You'll just have to meet him.&quot; :B

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Or stopping off in Lorellon for actual rp?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Mustn't give away secrets that aren't mine.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We have several stops before Castleton.

TMG:<font color="#000000">We're still on the Thalinde map.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There are a few stops still before Castleton, with actual RP.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">When the group hits Seeds, Castleton is next.

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

TMG whispers: Oh yes. By the way, two NPC token requests, for once we get into castleton; a 'secretary' kind of character, and a valet/butler. The two hirelings to maintain the HQ, like I mentioned awhile ago.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl is forbidden from entering Seeds. :V

You whisper to TMG: I figure Gnogglebolt will be able to hire them when he gets to Castleton. :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">So what mischief can he get up to when everyone's inside?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tathi invited the group. :B

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

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

TMG whispers: well, yes, that's exactly what's going to happen, I was just letting you know ahead of time so you're not blindsided by TOKENS NAO. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Is Sszeyl forbidden from entering Seeds HQ?

TMG whispers: trying to help keep things prepared. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">No, that was theory on my part, not IC. :P

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well there's your answer, Meany. :3

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I was going to torment some Mormons.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">But Mormons don't exist in Akellon... :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">Hee, Mormons.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;0.4*30 = 0.4 * 30 = 12.0&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">What.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">he'll need some magnets

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Brb 2 shakes.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;0.2*30 = 0.2 * 30 = 6.0&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

TMG whispers: ...wow. I'm starkly realizing just what Hatari keeps going on about on how outrageously wealthy we are compared to ordinary, everyday peasantfolk.

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">You can see why this druid sanctuary, which you passed by on your way downriver, is called Willow Lake. The forest is full of the long-branched trees, most of which still have leaves. Max and Terri touch down among them, beside a small pond.

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oooh, dis place iz nize!&quot;

TMG whispers: those calculations were figuring the ballpark monthly cost to employ a clerk and a valet/lackey, and that was generously with 30 days instead of Akellon's 28. I'll still prolly bump it up a few extra gold.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang hops down and explores!

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is a common resting place for flying creatures heading along the river, so the keepers of the grove won't mind. Just be careful and respectful. And don't worry if you hear something in the trees, I'll be keeping an ear out to tell whether it's friend, foe, or warden.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom helps Max escape his harness, then sets down his own pack and finds a place for sleeping roll.

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

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian also helps with the harness, and then helps Tathi set up camp.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt likewise finds a nice spot to unfold his bedroll and crash for the night.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Oh shiesse, that's right. :o

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang explores some, before finding his own spot for the night.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Something I -totally- forgot to make allusions to sicne the last levelup...

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">going to the lorrellon map then?

Lumisteria:<font color="#000000">Looking around, if you go much farther outside of camp, you can see a few owls the size of horses waking up for the night, and similarly-sized eagles roosting. Some of the eagles have their heads tucked under their wings.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Can I have a teenybit of RP real quick?

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No Lorellon map just yet.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian's careful and respectful of these woods as he goes out for a hunt with Tavia.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 11 + 14 = 25&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; survival!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt cracks open a few of the books in his pack, and eventually, heads over to where Aelian and Ta--okay, just Tathi has set up.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Doze are big birds!&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Yeah that's enough for some meat on dinner's plate. ^_^

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, hey uh...Tathi?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Spot and Listen checks, Aelian.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Mmyes?&quot; She says, flicking through her spellbook, only stop to look up irratibly as Aelian shoves a plate of cooked rabbit under her nose.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 7 + 13 = 20&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; spot

* Thomas Lazarus settles into a cozy spot near a tree and cracks a book open for some light reading.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt takes a seat nearby. &quot;Ah...as you know, I'

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">hit the enter button by mistake. :P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've been steadily expanding my repertoir of languages to communicate with...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(yeah I know)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And, well, I thought it was high time to get started on the family of languages I've been neglecting so far.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you think you could teach me some Elvish?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">While you were hunting, you were at least vaguely aware of being watched. A flicker between the trees here, a step in the undergrowth there... You caught a glimpse of some people in leather and leafweave armor once or twice, but weren't approached.

* Thomas Lazarus looks up. &quot;Oh.. Ed. I can send a message tonight, if you would like.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh -- sure. Probably best to get it out of the way.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi actually pauses, and looks over, subtly awed. &quot;You don't know elven?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... so... how does this work?&quot; ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Once his spot is set up, Shankfang draws his pistol and starts cleaning.

* Thomas Lazarus chuckles. &quot;Sheesh. Everyone asks me in just that tone.&quot; |3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's quite straight-for--oh.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...No, I don't. I've been completely in the dark every time you or Sszeyl go off. I don't know -any- language from the family of languages related to Elven. Just al the Dwarvish ones.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">:O! Noise in the underbrush!? Chase chase chase!!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Nevermind. It won't be straight-forward at all. I don't know the target.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh dangit- Tavia! Get back here!&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus is only distracted by dogs for a moment. &quot;Well. Fortunately you're a fine story teller yourself.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, wow. Sorry, bit of a surprise for me. It seemed to me that every species and its mother was picking up elven, fluent or not. Sorry again, I guess it occurs to me that it's more of that silly human nobility thing. They admire us for some reason, did you know? Very strange.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Tell me about who you want to Send to. What's his name, first of all. What's he like? What does he do? Tell me whatever you can think of about him. Just so that I can know him -- enough not to mistake him with anyone else in this world.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Anyway, yes! I can teach you the base script of elven, maybe even get a bit of the wood-chatter in there too.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And thank you.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;When would you like to start?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He shrugs. &quot;We could talk some basics tonight, if you're okay with staying up for an hour or two?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If not, then tomorrow.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She smirks. &quot;Trance is very short in comparison to your sleeping. Just give me a few, and we can start. I'm going to take a zap at this spell first..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">The spell in question is Ball Lightning. Level 5 evocation. Here goes!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 18 + 14 = 32&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; spellcraft! -5 if its necromancy or illusion, +2 if it's evocation!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Doesn't that usually take 8 hours? &gt;.&gt;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Her two greatest loves. Fireballs and lightning bolts.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Nailed it. 5 pages used, 125 gp spent. And yes, it does, but for sake of expediency, if the party ain't doing nuffin, Tathi gets it once per day. :)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">:P right then.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And so, Gnogglebolt gets a little crash-course in Elvish 101...and Tathi quickly notices a few quirks. No wonder Gnogglebolt's never learned elven before, he's -very- comfortable with dwarvish-based scripts. His letters are hard and angular, and his speech is more gutteral than rolling.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi can't help but giggle from time to time. &quot;Oh, Gnogglebolt, you're getting it well enough, but.. but... you speak it like a dwarf!&quot;

* Edaric thinks. &quot;Hmm... It'd probably be better to send to Terin's dad. His mom's got a nervous disposition. Lemme think... Steven Talodor, he plays the organ and helps direct the Pelorite church choir in Oakridge. Last time I saw him, he had a bald patch on the back of his head he kept covered with a cap. Lemme think -- Oh! The sneeze! He's got a tendency to sneeze after finishing playing a hard piece on the organ. Holds it in while he's playing, and then, when it's all over and he relaxes a little -- ah-CHOO! Everyone who's gone to the Pelorite church in Oakridge knows about it.&quot; x3

* Edaric smiles for a while, nostalgic, but then clears his throat and sobers. &quot;... That enough to go off of?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus smirks warmly. &quot;...&quot;

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

* Gamal-Junayd hands out the food once it's done cooking

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shugs. &quot;I'll get it right eventually...nothing like this has escaped my mind yet. Thanks for the basics, I'll think them over as I go to sleep tonight.&quot;

* Swallowtail nods in thanks... Nom.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">o.o

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Even though I am sure there will be tears and hardships yet to come of this, given his condition ... I'm glad we were able to find him. I'm glad we were able to do such a person this boon.&quot; He watches his book for a moment.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gamal, you made this with just things hunted?&quot; :O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ah, tenk hyu.&quot; Shankfang spares a moment to take the food before going back to cleaning, having a bite every few moments.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt likewise thanks Gamal for the food.

* Edaric nods. &quot;... I'll send them a letter when we get back to Castleton. I just thought, they've had no news for months now... no need to keep them waiting any longer.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Clean clean nom, clean clean nom.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Anywho. Give me ten minutes, and I'll invoke the ritual. When it's ready I'll beckon you over, and you can deliver your twenty-five words.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;And some spices I picked up at the last town. Since on one else seems to have an intrest in cooking, I intend to make sure the food were eating is the best it can be, so we are bettter able to handle what we encounter.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A good thought. I am sure they will be glad to hear it.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#000000">Tavia will likely return to camp at least an hour later, covered in leaves and dirt and grinning from ear to ear. Hey master! I played with wolves and chased rabbits! Look, I brought one back for you! :D

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">MURDER PRESENTS.

TMG whispers: !! Oh! Another thing I just remembered.

TMG whispers: the Swiftaxes should have employment or some kind of business underway to support them by now. Gnogglebolt's going to be checking in on them to see how well off they're doing. Have you already figured on what it is they're doing? (don't need to tell me what it is yet if you have)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I once had a cat I was petsitting for drop a dead blue jay outside the door while I was there. Made me remember why we made Cocoa an indoor cat. =w=;

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

You whisper to TMG: Look on the Arcane District Street map. :B

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You have not seen anything.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Until you have seen a huge cat.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Fight a possum.

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Bigcat got around, back in the day.

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Silly pooch&quot; ^_^

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 55&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Okay, aside from asking where a Heavy Pick is statted out, I think I'm done.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">PHB, Melee Weapons, One-Handed.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Danke. :3

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">The new day, Yondall -- OH! We're in a new month! :D

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">FIRE THE CELEBATORY CANNONS.

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

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">The dawn of the month of Squidlysplooch--*BRICK'D AWAY*

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">That means it's time for control shape checks come night time.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">*Kermit-flail* Yaaaaaaaay!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The DM probably worked hard on that calendar. *juggles brick* =3=

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Are you guys still on Thalinde?

* Meany pokes you with hot irons.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We are still on Thalinde.

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

</i> Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">Ooh, it's Damarron 1st. The equivalent for us is October 26th. Miron's birthday is Damarron 18th, as a heads-up, and the Trickster's Feast, a holiday sacred to Olidamarra, is on the 6th.

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

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">So... Dawn of a New Day, Ica, Damarron 1st, 1221 CA, and it's cool and misty in the grove.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Miron was born that close to a holiday to the deity of trickery? Haaaaa

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Sounds like a holiday where thieves break into your house and have a giant feast in your living room. =w=;

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">They Grinch the feast.

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">There's a faint cloud of steam around Terri and Max this morning.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">And have it on a mountain top.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Ooo, sauna! :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Do you want me to infodump?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Because I can infodump. x3

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Clothes stay on, Tathi. -.-;;

* Liatai is brick'd.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not right now, thanks. Pacing. :P

TMG:<font color="#000000">Infodump? I love infodumps! :D

TMG:<font color="#000000">(sorry. xD )

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll hop on IRC and infodump. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Orrrr we could fall further out of the game-mood as more people drift afk, that works. =w=;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Sorry, sorry. x3 Lia has good solution. Anyway!

RAM:<font color="#990000">I'd rather wait on infodump.

GM:<font color="#000000">Mid-session attention check. Who's here?

RAM:<font color="#990000">There's time for that after game.

RAM:<font color="#990000">My Chi is mad focused, yo@

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">WHO WHAT HUH

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just packs up with everyone else and prepares to embark. Ready for timeskip.

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Pack pack pack. Let's go!

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, have you reached a decision?&quot; :3

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are we sleeping in Lorellon tonight, or at SEEDS?&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sounds like SEEDS! I'll guide you to where it is. It's easy to see once you're close. Only elven home for miles.&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll hold you to that.&quot; :3 &quot;Terri, it's going to be a longer than usual flight today, so if you get tired, just land on me.&quot;

Lumisteria:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Blah blah blah yakity schmakity.

* Thomas Lazarus collects up his things and makes ready to depart.

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">Aelian's already helping to get the harness on Max.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Ready to depart!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Pardon, the DM's looking up rules. Hop over to Lorellon if you want to RP there! :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Looks like there was no response. I suppose I can't say I'm surprised.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">There was no response to the sending?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yeah, Sszeyl. By the way.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're heading back into the Lorellon/Castleton area. You can take that disguise off now.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You are given the option of just turning the response 'off' and sending nothing back when you get a Sending.

Tokens dropped onto map 'Lorellon - Canal'Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Better that people are familiar with the true you.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thanks again, Tom. I'm sure it's a load off their minds.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Afk 1 shake.

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Terri and I should pay respect to the local Shrine of the Three while we're here. Meet you in... oh, say, about an hour?&quot;

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just wanders around the place. There's nothing terribly particular that he has to do here.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I see you, Otto.

* Gamal-Junayd sets off to but more cooking supplies, checking if they have any new specialties/spices that werent available in thalinde If they are, what'st he prices?

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">You're on the Map Explorer.

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">The city of Lorellon sprawls beneath you, nestled in the branches of the river and connected by the three massive bridges. The royal castle can be seen on a nearby hill, and you'd swear -- yes, you did, that was a flash of silver scales dipping between buildings that Max waved to before coming in for a landing near the city.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sure thing. I'm going to swing by my place and talk to mom and dad for a little while. You're welcome to come by if you like. I'm sure they'd love to meet you. Just don't everybody show up together or I'm sure we'll get pulled into staying the night whether we like it or not.&quot; ^^;

Railock:<font color="#000000">meany, so is eisen from greedverse

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Kan Hy kome?&quot; :D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh we'll come. I'll have to needle your father for information about his adventures with mine.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Buh, brb again

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt did cureiously note the flash of silver as they were coming in for a landing, but says nothing.

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

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#000000">A timeskip later... &quot;That was really you flying in on that massive dragon?!&quot; :O !

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Uh oh. There are nobles on this map!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Le investigation into taxes.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Aelian, keep Tathi away from them!

Tokens dropped onto map 'Lorellon - Canal'Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">so, whats the price for cooking supplies from lorellon?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Eh-heh, it was, actually...we have friends in 'high' places, it seems.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Lorellon is much like Resca, as it is the capital. You can find most anything here. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It would help if you could give me specifics.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo Frau Lazarus, Herr Lazarus!&quot; :D

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">ah. well just trying to pick up spices/specialty food that he doesnt have. for a wider variety when he cooks

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dare I ask if that was the little girl's real shape?&quot; :3

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">|D !

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">CRUSHING BEARHUG. |D

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Don't break the nice half-orc, dear!

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah...heh heh. You're a sharp one, sir Lazarus.&quot;

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not really! She said she was Salishea's niece. That would've made her at least a half-dragon.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yeah, she did say that, didn't she...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smirks. &quot;She's not quite that old yet. But, speaking of family, did my last name ring a bell to you, Mr. Lazarus?&quot; :3

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I thought you knew already and were just being polite!&quot; |D

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your... last name?&quot; ^^;

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;What was it again?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy vas de first vun she told!&quot; :D

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

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;... One more time?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Eyllisaearsithek.&quot; She says again. She didn't slow down at all. ^^;;;

TMG:<font color="#000000">One More Time! *daftpunks*

TMG:<font color="#000000">...now I actually gotta listen to that. xD

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;A little slower, please. I need to be able to tell if it's the right long Elven name or not.&quot; |D;;;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I fail to understand why he gets out of bed, with no obligations whatsoever, trundles over to the chair, and then falls asleep immediately for the next four hours.. =w=;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;My chair's more comfortable anyway.&quot; (/Sully)

* Thomas Lazarus laughs.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; I still can't get it either..&quot; ^^;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi giggles. &quot;See, this is why I have fun trying to get your son to say it. I'm Raerarael's second child.&quot; She says, smiling.

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">|D !

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">And then she smirks broadly. &quot;Oh Thomas?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What's my name?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Tathi.&quot; He sticks his tongue out. |p

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;He doesn't even speak elven, Tathi, that's not fair. Even I trip over it.&quot;

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Raerarael! Much easier to remember that one!&quot;

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did he tell you about the time --&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Eyllisaearsiddek?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi nearly cracks up laughing at Shank's attempt. XP

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hey, his accent only musses it up a little bit!

* Nina Lazarus clears her throat. :| &quot;Don't give them ideas about fire, dear.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Suddenly, tax info collected.

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;But it was great!&quot; |D

* Thomas Lazarus handwaves. ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We didn't meet in person.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">ACCOUNTANCY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh no no, I want to hear everything!&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No, no, ideas about fire are bad, okay?&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Tathi set up a remote communication scrying thing. We checked in on him in Yoriver. Tomi was there, actually.&quot;

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;How is the ancient scamp, anyway?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It seems he didn't forget you, anyways.&quot; |3

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#000000">:O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well! That's just how we heard about him, really. Yoriver apparently has a fiend problem, allbeit a bit of an undercurrent problem. Corrupt lords and what not. My father, and your daughter, are apparently there helping stem the tide and root out the evil. Apparently your daughter approves of my father's ability to level cities.&quot; ^^;

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you'd given me anything but that demon of a last name...&quot; Alexander laughs.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;See, now I want to hear you attempt it.&quot;

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, you really don't.&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu daughter iz really tough! Hy kould tell chust by lookink at her!&quot; :O

* Thomas Lazarus falls a bit quiet at that. ^^;;;

Alexander Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, good on him! I don't know many fiend incursions that'd be able to survive both Rae and Tomi going against them.&quot; :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm. She looked like she was having a grand old time of it, atleast.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Don't be surprised if she comes trying to drag some unholy baatezu part or another home when she shows up next.&quot; =w=;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;.. so what's this about my father challanging a squad of dwarves to drinking and nearly winning?&quot;

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, well that's good. Did she look healthy? Would you remind her to write next time you talk to her? I get so worried... especially with fiends involved....&quot; &gt;: * Thomas Lazarus pats his mother's shoulder and offers a reassuring smile. &quot;Yes. She was doing perfectly fine. They had the situation well in hand.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; She actually scolded me about writing more.&quot; =w=;;;

* Alexander Lazarus laughs! |D &quot;That was in Dalvani! Good times, good times...&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That town is not on the map yet. You don't need to look. :B

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( dammit XD ))

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Will you be staying for dinner?&quot; :D

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Uh-oh. Watch out, Guardians. The kindly old lady trap is springing. *_* *brick'd*

* Thomas Lazarus smirks. &quot;Not up to me. We had planned to move on again before nightfall, atleast.&quot; Evasive maneuvers! &gt;:O

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh...&quot; &gt;: Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Aww...&quot; &gt;: Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sorry, Mrs. Lazarus, but we're heading to my newly constructed home for the evening.&quot; : Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yes, I'm very sorry, but our entorage is heading towards Castleton with best speed, we were only stopping by just to rest for a short while. He have a few other stops to make before Castleton, as well.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus hugs Nina with a compulsive smile. &quot;Don't worry, don't worry. I'll keep in touch. I promise.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(and brb)

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Well, at least take a tin of cookies with you when you go. Oh, and something for the dragons to say thank you for bringing you back here safely! Do dragons like cookies? &quot; :.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm entirely confident that they do.&quot; ^^

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#000000">:D !

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've learned an awful lot about dragons lately..&quot; *BRICK'D*

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I believe the legend goes that goodly dragons, like our friends, tend to pick up the tastes of the local, shorter-lived species.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vat kind of kookies?&quot;

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#000000">I think it's safe to assume that the Guardians are well-cookied for their return trip. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">You and your cookies.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I have beureaucracy!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">should get the recipe :)

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Gonna be difficult.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Cookies! :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">She makes it with LSD.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY CRAZY PARENTS TRIPPING BALLS IN OUR MANSION?

Nina Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Oh, most of them are from the local bakeries. But oh! There's this batch of snickerdoodles I made -- and the sugar cookies with the frosting -- Here! :D

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oh fuck, the acid is kicking in!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">JESUS CHRIST THE WALLS ARE MELTING! d: Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">*D: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Lap invasion. &gt;:O

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

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Listening to -epically- sad music is not conducive to rp. =3=

* Meany goes to find some chocolate.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What is it about Nina Lazarus that draws out the inappropriate music choices? :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She's a big Tupac fan. I swear to god, I have no idea..

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Who's Tupac?

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

Terri:<font color="#000000">Outside of town at the rendezvous point... &quot;...&quot;

Terri:<font color="#000000">&quot;I smell cookies.&quot; :O

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Tupac

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

* Shankfang the Deffrider hoards all the cookies!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">We're not even without sight yet, you silly dragon! Quit cheatin'! :P

Terri:<font color="#000000">Cookie-radar activate! *_*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I sense an incoming cookie-homing missile!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Back btw :&gt;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You do indeed. Those are a gift from mom, just for you and Max.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;She says thank you for looking after us.&quot; :3

* Thomas Lazarus gives Terri a pat. |3

Lumisteria:<font color="#000000">:D !

Gamal-Junayd whispers: can I just say I spent another 20gold buying more cookign supplies? spices/cookbooks/fresh food that wasn't available in last town?

You whisper to Railock: Sure. x3

* Gamal-Junayd returns to the gather points as well

You whisper to Railock: Just for future reference, spend however much you feel is appropriate. There's no set price, unless you start asking for specifics.

Lumisteria:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're welcome! Your mom is awesome!&quot; :D

Gamal-Junayd whispers: okay. and yeah, unless some town is known for something real special...I wouldn't know enough to ask for specifrics on what would be needed for awesome cooking

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl bursts out of the water and climbs up to the meeting point. =3=

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

* Dr. Hatari was checking his notes for Tom.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;This river is really dirty on the bottom.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari found all the drunk Tom plans.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And not just the silt, the sheer volume of refuse down there.&quot;

Dragula the Deffbike:<font color="#990000">Vrrrmmmm...

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I found no less than thirty skeletons.&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, it is a city.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Then there was this; -Tomi arguing with Tom. &quot;Jeeze.. you act like you were raised in a barn.&quot; &quot;..Well. We were raised by a cat.&quot; &quot;Ww--don't say that! It's misleading! &gt;:O Mom and dad taught us to do.. almost everything. =w=;&quot; &quot;You used to lick the back of your hand and clean your face with it. |3&quot; &quot;WW--NOO! I DIDN'T, SHE'S LYING D:&quot; &quot;|D&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang cruises into the meeting point. /shades

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

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Finished all your business here?&quot; :3

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

* Thomas Lazarus shrugs a bit helplessly. ^^;

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Oh dam,. I forgot to roleplay with the Lazarus family. D|

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank your mom for us, Tom.&quot; :3 &quot;I'll bring these back to Ian and Vira.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Well, I carved a map of where to find those skeletons and gave it to the guards, went to the capital building and got my tax information.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja, ve got kookies!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's the biggest population center for hundreds and hundreds of miles.&quot;

Snarky:<font color="#000000">I forgot to be snarky!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Other than sharing with you all the shipwrecks that happen to have gold, I think I'm done.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks shocked over at Sszeyl. &quot;Wow...that...was very good of you, Sszeyl.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;There are like twelve, by the way. Really eroded, though.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sure thing. I plan to swing by the Pearldust not long after we return to Castleton.&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Some of those are probably inhabited. It'd be rude.&quot; :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Cookies? Do I need to add sweets to the list of things I should be cooking? It is hard to manage those on the trail though.&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;There are plenty of draconic holy sites around Lorellon.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Really? I didn't see anyone.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus chuckles. &quot;Cookies in dungeons and battlefields, huh..&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;That doesn't mean they weren't there.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;But then I can't really see well in water.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I don't think so, Gamal. You'd have hard competition from all the mothers about.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;In fact, as of this moment, you're all forbidden from mentioning anything remotely like danishes around my mother.&quot; &gt;:(

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;What's a danish?&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;All aboard?&quot; :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Umm, vy?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus shrugs. {:3

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

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">All a-dragon who are going a-dragon!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why not? does she havea bad recipe for it?&quot;

* Sszeyl straps in.

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

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Should we expect to be meeting your mother in the near future, Tathi?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No, she has several very good recipees.. She spends an entire night, making just one... and then uses her magic to duplicate it about thirty dozen damn times.&quot; |o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I.. don't think so. She's a warden of the crypts around the Charred Veld. So, unless we're off to pay our respects to the dead..&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If she has a good recpie, why shouldn't I ask to learn should I happen to meet her?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I remember. I figured not. Oh well.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">FATCAT AFTER MAH CORDS

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Because then she'll insist on making us a dozen a piece! Do you have any idea how much sugar and fruit that is!?&quot; |O

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( BEGONE, FELID DEMON. ))

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;We could preserve them for later.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Heavens forbid you actually eat enough food in a day.&quot; |P

* Lumisteria is drooling. :d

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;By the way.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Barbarus Sent to me while we were in the city.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You are well within fireball range, Mr. Lazarus.&quot; &gt;:3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;The school is nearly done, but not quite yet, so we're to rendevous at the old HQ.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;He also says to ignore rumors of someone pouring cherry pie filling over construction workers.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">I'm sorry meany, but I really am not sure I'm comfortable with you trying to alter whether or not the new HQ is finished. ^^;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tathi: &quot;You are well within fireball range, Mr. Lazarus.&quot; &gt;:3 Sszeyl: &quot;The school is nearly done, but not quite yet, so we're to rendevous at the old HQ.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">They're burning!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Whyfor all the dice?! D: Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Liatai said so. :O

TMG:<font color="#000000">I would appreciate it if you do not do something like that again, and we forget that Sszeyl just said what he did.

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

* Liatai clears her throat.

* Ghostwish rips a silent one. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tech, I appreciate your candor, but I did say that.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">What'd I miss?

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

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">...Oh. Wait, did you say it here, or did you whisper it to him? If you said it here, I missed it somehow...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's building needs just a little more touching up. It will be ready by the evening of the day you return to Castleton.

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">very well

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">...last -week-? huh...

RAM:<font color="#990000">I do recall this.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I don't remember, but okay. -3-

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Originally, it was because I couldn't find the map. :B

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Now, it's to facilitatie RP.

* Meany taps syringe full of rpz.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt stares at Sszeyl and smacks his forehead. &quot;That damn cat...&quot;

* Meany injects it into Tech's arm.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Dammit Meany, stop channeling Q!

Lumisteria:<font color="#000000">It doesn't take long before Terri comes in close to Max's back mid-flight. &quot;Hey... 'scuse me... can you make a little room?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I can't.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">He is closest to my personality as any char can be.

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

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

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

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

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

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

* Lumisteria lands on Max's back. &quot;Thanks.&quot; {:3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Tathi, tell me about this place of yours. It has six bedrooms?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Who is it all for? I assume not us.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Am I even allowed inside?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Because I don't need to eat or sleep. |o&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And could spend the time exploring the local bodies of water.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus scratches head, baffled. =w=;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It is an elven greathouse. A massive tree, treated and turned into a home. And yes, it has a number of extra rooms for sleeping. Five, if you don't count the one for Aelian and I. Really they're just guest rooms. A bit more hospitality than you usually find in most wood elven homes, but I'm hardly traditional.&quot; ^^;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;And yes, Sszeyl, you can come inside. You might need to ward away in the future, as I plan on many wood elves being there.. but I can't guarantee their hospitality towards drow.&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you give me a heading, Tathi?&quot; :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh no.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I'm picturing Tathi pulling a Jack Sparrow.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">With a compass spinning in all directions.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;A general....that-a-way....direction.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Drinking all the rum and getting captured shenanigansly by tribals?

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi moves up to right behind Max's head. :3 &quot;Straight south from Castleton! Head for the ridge of the woodlands, and look for the biggest tree you can find!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No one there yet, then, aye?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Then look thirty feet to the right of that tre.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Might be a druid or two hanging around still. But I suspect they cleared out when the job was done.&quot;

* Tharky makes a little room. &quot;You came all the way up along the neck mid-flight? Color me impressed! Did you use a Spider Climb spell?&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No, just stayed low and let that head plate of his take the brunt of the wind. Slow and steady too.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Don't take this the wrong way, but you're easy to climb on, Max.&quot; :3

* Thomas Lazarus clings eternally to his Max-spine. owo

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Be that as it may, that's very dangerous, Tathi. What would you have done if you'd fallen?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Feather Fall spell?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Polymorphed myself into a dragon.&quot; She says, simple as rain.

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're a bit high up for Feather Fall... but I suppose that works.&quot; ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's not as easy as you think.&quot; D|

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Oh pish posh.&quot;

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

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">A little farther along, Max seems to be trying to glide more often than he has been. &quot;... Tathi, does your home have any dragon-sized clearings near it?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;What's life without some little uncertainty? |3&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu gettink tired, Max?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, ears, I hadn't thought of that! Um. I think we saw one south of the tree-home?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yes! There was a small clearing with a little stream to the south. Should be big enough for you to land.'

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;A little. No worries.&quot; As status dips from normal to fatigued.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You're staying in a bed tonight, mister.&quot; Tathi says authoratively, prodding one of Max's scales.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Oh.. how interesting..&quot; Tom muses. :.

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nonsense. Shapeshifting is tiring. I'll just curl around the base of your tree.&quot; |P

* Lumisteria is already napping on Max's back.

* Shankfang the Deffrider lays back against Lumi's side. Dragonpillow, comfy.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I could probably.. prepare the panacea..&quot; &gt;:. Tom muses, primarily to himself. &quot;..I wonder if one could cheat sleep and maintain days of continuous flight that way..&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Or you could bother to channel some of the Ocean's power. |3&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'd have to stop and eat sometime.&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">An hour of flight later, Max is noticeably flagging, but is angling his flight downward. &quot;Tathi, is that it?&quot; Switch over to The Seeds Headquarters!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;That's it!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang dozes against Terri's side.

* Lumisteria blinks awake. &quot;Mm... Mr. Shankfang, wake up, we're here.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Impressive tree.&quot; :o

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Where did this come from?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Mmm?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Blink blink, eyerub, yawn.

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

* Maxissoren lands heavily on the undergrowth, kicking up leaves. &quot;... Hoo. Here we are.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;How thick does the shell need to be so that it doesn't fall over in a windstorm?&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mind if I curl up, Tathi?&quot; Yaaaaaa~awn.

* Thomas Lazarus pats Max. {:3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">The Tree IS a sight. Much, much taller than any of the surrounding plant-life, practically a tower amoung all the other trees. The base along looks to be at least thirty feet across.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you again for the escort.&quot; He hops down.

GM:<font color="#000000">If you like, you may roll Spot and Listen.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi beams, smiling up into the broughs. &quot;Beautiful.&quot; She pronounces in elven, before finally seeming to snap out of her revelrie and looking to the others. &quot;Oh! Sorry!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Yawn again, dismount.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You don't find trees like this. You find a sufficient one, and it's treated through old, elven druidic magic to become like this.&quot;

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">Pounce pounce pounce pounce pounce.

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">And curl around a horn. |3

GM:<font color="#000000">The stars are shining, the moon is full... It's a beautiful night.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Against &#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 5 + 11 = 16&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187;...Melee attack, I guess? Grapple? Something.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh.&quot; He looks down at Terri. &quot; Frisk lives in a different forest.&quot; |3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just shrinks slightly, staring wide-eyed at the floating fox...thing. o.o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">So Tathi sidesteps, and Shankfang gets a lovely snack'o'grass? :D

Lumisteria:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ohhhhhh.&quot; 8O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Aaand Shankfang barrels right past Tathi. But, guess who's behind her?

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right then.&quot; She says, and looks up at the fox. &quot;As I was saying.. Hello there! Do you have a name, wild one?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">You mean to her side? Sorry orky, I'm out of your line of fire. :P

Snarky:<font color="#000000">The little Sparker hops down from Gnogglebolt's shoulder, looking up at the faefox.

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you, elfy one?&quot; 83

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oi, don't try to avoid the shennanigans!

Snarky:<font color="#000000">k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-click?

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wow, you're a lot of people!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Take your roll like a man!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Tathi, Tathi Eyllisaearsithek.&quot; She says, smiling.

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Everyone's hair in a ten-foot radius poofs up. :B

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lotta lotta people.&quot; 8O

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you all live here?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus considers everything he knows about fey. &#171; &#160;1d20-1 = 17 - 1 = 16&#160;  &#187; :9

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What the-.. Gnogglebolt, your pet is making a fashion statement.&quot;

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Ooh! What's this?&quot; :O

* Pink Winged Fox lands on the Deffbike.

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's so shiny!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;The new tree is my home, although I invite guests.&quot; Tathi says.

TMG:<font color="#000000">(by the way.)

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oh, dat's da Deffbike!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Wow, he recovered quick.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ohhh.. we don't all live here.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">(I cannot help but hear Miacherry's voice as the Curiosity Core from the first Portal. xD )

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Good! Then I did pounce the right person!&quot; 8D

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;EAUGHwhatswrongwithyourlegs D:&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;It goes really really fast!&quot;

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nothing worse than pouncing the wrong person when you've got someone to pounce. Unless it's pouncing something that's not a person!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Is that your way of welcoming me to my new home, little one?&quot; She asks, smiling.

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">The little fox-creature headtilts, fluttering its wings. Oh gods, are sparkles landing on the Deffbike?

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">It becomes sentient. MIRON'S NIGHTMARE COMES TRUE.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">as long as those sparkles stay away from any campires, it's alright

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">OI, GETZ YOUZ SPARKLES OFFA ME FLASH!

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;.... I don't remember!&quot; 8D &quot;It seemed fun!&quot;

Hakutaku:<font color="#FF0000">Camp-pires. Beware.

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;But really, you know these are fairy woods, right?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi giggles. &quot;How utterly delightful.. Are there others like you-&quot; She starts, but stops. &quot;Really? Fey territory?&quot;

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mmhmm.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat's a lot uf schparkles. Hy hope dey don' mess vith my Deffbike!&quot; D: Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi looks absolutely poker face for a brief moment.. and then looks completely estatic!!

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Snarky hops up onto the Deffbike to get even closer to the strange faefox

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;''Fey woods! Here! I didn't even know! How come we didn't see any of you when we were scouting the area? It looked like plain, ordinary trees!''&quot; She squeals, all in elven though, so for the illetirate, it's all moonspeak. XP

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;My Deffbike iz popular today!&quot; :D

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;So when there's a lotta lotta people and a lotta lotta buildin', they wanna check it out, y'see.&quot; The fox tilts its head the other way, with a vulpine grin.

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">Kor is eyeballing the fox thing with a wary glare. Oh god it flies.

* Maxissoren rolls over a bit, cracking an eye open.

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

* Maxissoren decides he's hallucinating due to fairy woods and falls back asleep. =3=

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

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well it'd be bad juju to hold a housewarming when there's no house yet!&quot; 8D

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi...is there anyone who lives here, or was it built and waited on you to show up?&quot;

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;And you don't want bad juju, right?&quot;

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;Bad juju is baaaaaad.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In that case,&quot; he stops and searches through his things for a moment.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh. Sorry. Common, right.&quot; She says, clearing her throat. &quot;And no, Gamal, this house is brand new, technically. I ordered its construction, chose the site, made the proper payments and rituals and everything.&quot; She says, and then turns back to giddy fox thing. :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl moves over to Swallowtail.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Her reaction to this? =3=

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">That is one very pink spirit. O_o

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, I can only ask and hope that you do not mind elven homes within your territory, fey-one.&quot; She says.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">has this been going on in another launguage this entire time?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Pleased to meet you.&quot; Tom presents a cookie tin and pops the lid open while holding it forward. &quot;Would you like some cookies?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi had an elven spat for a moment, but it's all been common beyond that.

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh well I don't mind --&quot;

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;--&quot;

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;COOKIES!&quot; :D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh yes. And we bring sweets.&quot;

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">INCOMING FOX MISSILE!

* Thomas Lazarus has rolled his fey check well. |3

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">VvvvvvvvPOW!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot; Suddenly paying my mother a visit has a lot more relevance now. &quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well..if it is a house warming party...perhaps I should head in and start the kitchen going..it wouldn't be much of a party without a decent meal, would it?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus staggers back a pace, but makes sure to hold firm to support the guest and cookies. :9

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy like dis vun! She silly!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You know what? That's a marvelous idea. Let's all head inside, hrm? You too, vixen who's name I still don't know.&quot;

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">Om nom nomf nom nom -- Crumb-face looks up.

* Thomas Lazarus smirks.

Pink Winged Fox:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh! Okay! I'm Miacherry!&quot; 8D Tailwag.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Iz it hokay to leaff de Deffbike out here?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt has just been staring stunned the whole time. What.

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

* Meany chews on the chat.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">The inside of the tree house is a surreal, alien yet familiar experience for those unfamiliar with elven homes. The inside is wood.. but it's very much, obviously alive. And so natural. It's like it wasn't cut at all but.. grew this way!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hug attempt number 2!

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ooooh, you've got shiny armor.&quot; She flits and zips around Thomas.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi heads up a spiral staircase for a story or so, and comes to a large, wooden door. She presses lightly against the door, and there's an audible -click- before it slowly swings open.

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

* Gamal-Junayd heads up and finds the kitchen so he can start his cooking

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( remember, don't drag. Cut and paste. :3 ))

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you for the cookies!&quot; 8D ... Was that a clink you heard? Listen checks.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 8&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Listen!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 2 + 7 = 9&#160; <font color="#A14D7F">&#187; Listen check!

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">The first floor is rather spartan.. save for some very large artillery pieces that look like they could launch over a dozen spears a piece at once. o,o;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">(Listen Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;)

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+2+floor((wisdom-10)/2) = 7 + 2 + floor((13 - 10) / 2) = 10&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; listen!

Aelian:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 4 + 13 = 17&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; listen!

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; listen! Someone just unwrapped some cheese!

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">Gamal and Aelian can clearly hear the clinking of chainmail every time the fox-creature lands on something, though none is visble.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom surreptitiously pops one of the nibble-mangled cookies into his mouth and munches. :9 &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 6 + 4 = 10&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I haven't decided what to do with the lower floor yet. It's all defense in here..&quot; She says, and heads up another flight. There's another heavy wooden door, which she apparently unlocks.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're welcome. It's nice to meet you, Miacherry. I'm Tom.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hi, Tom!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">So...hug attempt success? Yez/nu/mebbe/lurbster/pi?

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">Hug attempt fail as your target is behind Thomas.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&gt;: Miacherry:<font color="#000000">83

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Here we are, standard living. Gamal, the kitchen should be right over there, fully stocked. Hope you enjoy yourself.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're squirrely. I like you.&quot; |3

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

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;SQUIRREL?!&quot; 8O

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Where?!&quot; 8O

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

* Miacherry lands on Thomas' head and looks around vigilantly. 83

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl points up into the branches.

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

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ooooh. You're different.&quot; 8O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Gods and Stars, they did it perfectly..&quot; Tathi says to herself.. &quot;Well! To the south we have a dining room, and the north is laundry.&quot; She says, pointing each way. Up here the design changes somewhat from the thick, imposing doors down below. Nearly all the rooms are sectioned off by thin cloth instead, with some more ornate, lighter doors heading to the outside to the west.

Railock:<font color="#000000">can I...take 20 on cooking? heh

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;You have a moving tattoo!&quot; 83

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Pardon if I can't play long. It's been a really long trip and we're a bit tired. As you can see from our big friend.&quot; ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt continues staring up at the tree, and the insane flying pink vulpine. &quot; I think I'll stay outside.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Given the fact the house has a very ornate and well stocked kitchen? I'd think so. GM? :3

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, there's a patio to the west as well.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you sure you wanna stay outside?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She heads up again, no door this time!

* Gamal-Junayd goes all out, taking 20 on his cooking. so...32 for the party food, though he spends longer in the kitchen then normal

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Outside is where the real full-blooded fey live.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom bows out of present company and ascends the stairs.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Here's the bedrooms!!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I prefer to follow behind.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So when they are moving, so shall I.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt jumps and flinches as the thing addresses him. &quot;Uh...well, you--wait, what?&quot; Gnogglebolt goes increasingly pale.

* Miacherry looks at Sszeyl. &quot;I did say these were fairy woods, didn't I?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;De full-blooded fey? Dey...dey von' hurt my Deffbike, vill dey?&quot; D: Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt heads inside the entrance floor, at the very least.

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not while I'm here! I'm a -- whaddya call it -- ambassador.&quot; 83

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas clomps up the stairs, slowly but steadily.

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

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">Ironically, with a 22 Wisdom, the &quot;insane&quot; vulpine is saner than any party member. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">280lbs and five flights of stairs... {:9

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Clunk, clump, clunk, clump.. copy/paste for five minutes.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">The bedrooms are perhaps some of the best lodgings the party has had, even those that claimed a captain's quarters. Each has a single bed, a dresser and nightstand, and holy bajeezus. A bath. :O

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mon, let's go eat! I gotta talk with the lady of the house, anyway.&quot; 8D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Oh! And a lovely window outside, with stained glass between the wood growths. ^^

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">after a time longer than normal, Gamal brings the food out, and begins setting the dining hall with the party food

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yelled out &quot;Foods up!&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt goes to hide in one of the other rooms

Amadre:<font color="#0000FF">Er, watch yourselves on the stairs folks. Daily dog missiles flying up and down there.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom lingers in the largest room on the 5th floor.

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">The DM isn't moving tokens due to lag, but you're welcome to.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oops, dinner time, I guess.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Yeah, I'm getting quite a bit of lag. Heavy calculations due to complex VBL

* Gamal-Junayd also goes and sets some food next to Max outside, seeing if he'll wake up long enough to eat it

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghost, it's your maps! Your maps lag me! XP *brick'd!*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang quickly makes his way up the stairs, having been slightly energized from his little cat nap.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">Got a question.

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">Snooooore...

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">If this map isn't meant to see combat..what about turning fog off and light off?

RAM:<font color="#990000">I'm getting 0 lag, and I'm downloading a movie at the same time!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">that could help a lot

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, drat.. I thought of a great question for Max or Terri.. but.. they're sleepy.. and the DM is super busy already.. &gt;:9

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Above us is the storage, library, my study and then the meeting area for SEEDS, or the vigilant guardians, if need be.&quot;

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

TMG:<font color="#000000">Railock has a sound idea

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:31 lagcheck?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">It's already been done. :P

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000"> <b>*GRRROOOOOWWWWWWL*

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">:31 here!

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

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Foxy foxy foxy! :O

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looooud tummy.&quot; 8O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hungry Orc is hungry!

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- DOGGY!&quot; 8D

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">if it's still continuing..maybe erase the vbl entirely, and put a simple box around the entire area, though that would make it annoying if combat ever did happen here

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy'm hungry!&quot; :D

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I've been totally fine. :.

TMG:<font color="#000000">yeah, I'm still having a little lag.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Get better interwebz.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hope everyone likes it&quot; And since he's in a real kitchen..yes, sweets were included. made a cake

TMG:<font color="#000000">We might have to give the same treatment to the HQ map as well...

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">8O

RAM:<font color="#990000">Lia, blow up Hughesnet corporate HQ.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">I've been fine as well, just coming up with ideas to help those that are having problems

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">At least this fox seems to have some manners. Though it's very strange, seeing a pink, butterfly-winged fox sitting patiently at the table. 83

* Thomas Lazarus settles in and smiles at the food.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh. Did Terri snooze off too?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Feel free to dig in&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Especially with a big elven hound snuff snuffing away at her. :3

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Where's Tharky, at least?&quot;

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I have something up my sleeve.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Let the nomming begin!

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That I could ruin you forever with.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Zoom in close on the hounds.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You can now see their five o' clock shadow.

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

* Ghostwish peers.. &quot;You mean.. the artist's attempt at shading?&quot; |3

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

* Lumisteria trundles upstairs, followed by a bard.

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

Tharky:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right here. Max insisted, knowing these are fairy woods.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hope everyones hungry&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right, now who's going to help me drag Max up those stairs?&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">The fox is using silverware. What is this I don't even --

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Kidding, kidding, let's enjoy our first meal in my new home. And hopefully, a new home for many wood elves. Fey willing, of course?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We should probably let him take care of himself.&quot; ^^;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Ohhh!&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I left some food down there for him if he wakes up&quot;

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

* Miacherry puts a gourd that looks like it's been dried out for use as a jug on the table.

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Almost forgot the housewarming gift!&quot;

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

* Miacherry nudges the gourd over to Tathi. Inside it is about three pints of honey.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oooo, now what is this delightful little thing?&quot; Tathi says, picking up the gourd and examening it and its contents.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh! Honey? How sweet, if you'll pardon the pun!&quot; She says with a smile.

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Food for food.&quot; 83

TMG:<font color="#000000">back from unannounced afk

* Miacherry is using a fork to eat cake. How...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ohh. That reminds me.&quot; :9 Tom digs into the meal.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Terri, I had a question about dragons.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">hey, I ain't gonna pry. We had a dwarf 'steering' a rhino earlier.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Or.. I should say, Lumi.&quot; ^^

Lumisteria:<font color="#000000">&quot;Terri's fine, still, y'know.&quot; ^^

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I think I'll just call her silly butt for now on.&quot; Tathi says. :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thanks, glad you like it. Though I won't be able to cook like this on the trail, It is nice to havea real kitchen to cook in.&quot; and he starts digging in as well

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Omf nomf scarf!

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi, I don't speak elfy, but from whatcha seemed like you were sayin', have you been in fairy woods before?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I couldn't think of a better way to give the kitchen its first run, Gamal.&quot; She says, smiling.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Sorry if anyone cares, I seem to have fallen out of my RP mind for a bit. DOn't mind me, I'll hop back in when I've refocused.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">'Kay.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Your big brother has eaten roast cow and purple worm and other really big things like that, right? I'm sure it's like a regular meal for him..&quot; Tom noms a forkful of food before continuing.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..When he's in smaller human form, does a human-sized meal still fill him up?&quot; :.

* Meany chews idly on souls. :E

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi sighs softly, smiling wistfully. &quot;Before the fires, our last home was often visited by the fey, although it was not a fairy wood no. I only know of fairy woods through my traditions and studies. I understand that there are rules for everyone's protection, yes?&quot;

Lumisteria:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm-hmm. Otherwise we'd be callin' suspicion all over by orderin' herds of cows to eat all the time for a 'human' family.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Dragon-philosopher Thomas strikes again.

Lumisteria:<font color="#000000">&quot;We eat big meals when we can, an' make do with little ones when we can't. Big meals before big flights or big fights, little meals most'a the other time.&quot;

Lumisteria:<font color="#000000">&quot;Max is prob'ly gonna eat two or three cows after this big of a journey.&quot; ^^

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well, you eat your fill here, you hear me missy?&quot; She says, jokingly threatening Terri with a fork. :P

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah, I see.. so a meal like this would probably be a tiny snack in regular old grand form, then.&quot; :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hr, interestink. Hy alvays vondered how tinks vorked betveen Dragon's natural forms und human forms.&quot;

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

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mmhmm.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;What rules do you know?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus smirks to himself. &quot;How interesting..&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wheny ou eat big meals, do you prefer it cooked or not?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Life was so peaceful and predictable and simple no more than three months ago.&quot;

Tharky:<font color="#000000">&quot;It varies depending on dragon species a little, too. Silver dragons, for example. They've been known to live for centuries on a human's ration of food. And brass dragons manage to find sustenance from, of all things, the morning dew.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Let's see.. The three harms. Harm not the land, harm not the water, harm not the life. And I know why you hustled everyone inside. The.. less than forgiving fey tend to come out at night.&quot; She says, and quickly notes to Terri. &quot;Don't worry. You'll need to stay inside, but even the biggest and meanest fey will think long and hard before trying a dragon Max's size.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I would never have believed I'd be eating dinner some day in a great elven tree-home, with fey and dragon and drow friends.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep yep!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I can't recall any others, beyond contracts and alliances one makes with you fey folk.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I'm more concerned with tomorrow's events than the fey who obviously means no harm. (Not that we could do much if she did.)&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's one big one, 'specially if you're gonna start a village around this great house. Make sure you let the local fey know before you start buildin'.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks to Sszeyl. &quot;Why? What are we doing tommorow night?&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gives dryads a chance to make themselves known, other fey a chance to move out if you're buildin' over their homes.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari barely resists urge to add, &quot;Brain?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Besides plotting to take over the world?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;There is the meeting with Barbarus.&quot;

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

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yeah, speakn' of dryads, make sure you knock three times on an oak before you try to cut anything off it. That's important.&quot; 8O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy kan' vait to meet him! He seems really silly!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh! The neighbor's pact! How could I forget, of course! That knocking on an oak one is new for me.. Well! Let me ask now. Do you know of any dryads living nearby, within say.. a mile or so?&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mile, a mile... yep! Two! They're sisters. Their tree grew from a twinned acorn. You'll know it if you see it, it looks like a big ol' V.&quot; She makes a V with her paws.

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;The oak one's kinda a local custom. The local dryads know that's a 'hey, I'm askin' permission.'&quot; 83

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy've never met a Dryad before. Vat are dey like?&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Woody.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Should shankfang be wary about hugging any random fey he finds? He does tend to pounce first and not ask at all.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Dryads are the tree-dwelling folk of the fey. They bind themselves to a particular tree, and then the two are one and the same. They never stray far from their tree. Their personalities vary quite a lot. They are, afterall, fey.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yeah. When in doubt, always ask.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's just politeness!&quot; 83

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hehehe, don't go hugging at nighttime, Shankfang. And yes, ask before you do.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;But Hy alvays forget to do dat...&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, the unseelie buggies come out at night.&quot; Spooky-finger-paws.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You know, in general, it's considered rude by the majority of.. just about anyone.. to be hugged by a complete stranger.&quot; =w=;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;De vat?&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( we using medieval fey terms in akellon? :) ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I've used seelie and unseelie in Cold War, too... ^^; But yes. :B

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Seelie and unseelie. Fey, even as friendly as Miacherry here is, do not live by the rules of good and evil, even though some pay homage to them. They way to tell the difference by 'good' and 'bad' fey is by the terms seelie and unseelie. All fey obey the laws of nature, but seelie tend to be a bit more understanding of sentient life beyond their own, where as unseelie are the types that would wipe out civilization if they had their way.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alllllmost got it! 'Cept for one thing.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oops! What did I miss?&quot;

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

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;My dad was seelie, but I'm technically kinda-sorta not.&quot; 83 &quot;Takes a full fey to be a full parta the courts.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ohhh! You're fey blood then?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus eats while LEARNING. :O

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">FOOD. IT FUELS THE BRAIN.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">OM NOM NOM FACTS

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep yep! I'm what happens when a pixie an' a druid's friend fox like each other very very much!&quot; 83

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ah, so are they like the Summer and Winter courts? O remember hearing about them!

RAM:<font color="#990000">*I

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;So I act as a kinda go-between for the fey an' the others. Makes everybody happier! An' keeps everybody safer.&quot; 83

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell den, tenk hyu Miacherry!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Anyone who reads Codename: Hunter should have a good idea of classic fae, though D&amp;D fey are made even more high-fantasy mythlike

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Safety is good, yes...&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;We didn't need to worry so much about you, though. Sounds like you know what you're doin'!&quot; 8D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I see! Then, could I ask who the current rules of the courts are? I'm not even sure if you have two queens, or a king, or the noble court, or maybe just a really old druid.&quot; :)

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;King, queen, an' noble court.&quot; 83

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;The king an' queen are 'outsiders,' an' the court's split even into seelie an' unseelie.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Outsiders, you say? From where?&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Outside of the courts! They're both seelie an' unseelie, an' neither seelie nor unseelie!&quot; ^.^

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">and here I though I put too many chairs at this table. XP

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Brb a second. Hardcore crashing and burning. Need to walk and drink something. ^^;

* Lumisteria has fallen asleep under the table. Zzz...

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'd like to arrange a meeting with them, in the future, if it's no trouble to them?&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;... You sure you wanna do that?&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Contact with the high court tends to... change mortals. You'll be safer goin' through emissaries like me, an' through the younger fey.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I know the risks, but.. I hope to one day have a thriving elven nation in these woods. And to just raise one here without any alliances with the local fey is absolutely silly.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt clears his throat. &quot;Meeting with immortal beings of beyond does seem a...less than good idea, Tathi.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;But.. if you can act as a go-between, than of course!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;How does it change mortals?&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;You might wanna meet with the mortal rulers first, anyway.&quot; 83

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It is very risky, Gnogglebolt. Some of them can be on par with gods in their power.&quot;

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

* Meany slinks off to find tea.

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh ho? There's mortal rules? OH! Of course! The local druids, right?&quot;

* Miacherry giggles!

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

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Silly!&quot; x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Exactly. I don't need to even be versed in magic to know that such entities can shatter mortal minds.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;But what's worse..setting shop in their lands without meeting them and risking their anger, or going to see them and hoping they might at least be somewhat friendly?&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is still Akellon!&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;The king might take exception t'you starting a kingdom inside his borders an' all.&quot; 83

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Well.. Elves get a bit of a.. what to call it.. free pass in that regard, Gamal? We don't clear forests, or plant farms, or try and change the land. We augment it, if anything. Fey are usually welcoming to us. I would've asked first, however, if I had known the sillies were here.&quot; She says, smiling at Miacherry.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is struck at how oddly similar this situation is to his own future plan. He, however, has every intention of going through every proper channel first to acquire soverign right over whatever land he chooses -before- building...

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, yes, the local human rulers! No worries, that's in the works. But I have to get a decent population here to even be acknowledged as a village, much less a nation.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right now? I'm just one elf and her house. But I hope that changes soon.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He is also surprised at how the little fey-fox actually cares about human borders.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I wonder. Miacherry, do the human lords have any alliances with the fey here?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is suddenly curious.. &quot;Ah...miss...fox? Have you--&quot; And Tathi asks just what he was going to ask. :B

* Miacherry nods. 83 &quot;Good good! We don't want trouble in the fairy woods. An' angry humans bring fire an' axes.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;The looooooords?&quot; Miacherry tilts her head... and keeps tilting... until she rolls over, flittering in midair.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We do seem to really like fires, as a culture.&quot; Refined pose while sipping. =w=

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Hatariz has work tonight, don't you? :T

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">No. It's Saturday.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just boggles athe the trippy floaty fox.

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I dunno!&quot; ^.^ &quot;Nothin' formal springs to mind! Lotsa individuals. Lotsa druids. Lotsa towns an' farms.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*at the

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We've gone over 10:30 like.. every week ever. =w=;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe as a culture, but I'd rather avoid them&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh!&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh oh oh!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh wow. Well, I'll deal with each seperately.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Duhhhhhh!&quot;

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

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;I forgooooot!&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;The big ol' tower city! Greyspire!&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;They've got a big ol' pact with the fey.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's how they could build their academy thingamajobby.&quot; 83

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Curious. I wonder what the pact entailed.. but, that's just curiousity speaking. It's none of my business.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ah, tinkamajobby. Technical term.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ah, well, maybe you can carry my newest and latest announcement to the fey, Miacherry?&quot; She says, smiling.

* Miacherry flips right-side up and headtilts. 83

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Now that I know of you all, I gladly welcome any and all fey to my home, but I'm pulling one of the old rules out for this.&quot; :3 &quot;Now how did it go.. right! They will respect those with mortal blood in their veins, less they earn the wrath of those without. That should keep the unseelie in line.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oooooooh. You do know your stuff.&quot; 83

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">She smiles, and points at her ears. &quot;Of course I do.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;'Cept one thing. It's lest, not less.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">83

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh poo. I used an older dialect.. oh well.&quot; :3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Think you can do that for me?&quot; :3

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll let 'em know!&quot; 83 &quot;But in the meantime, I'll stay here one more night. Gotta protect this place one more night until the announcement goes into effect.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Of course, I'd be setting up wards otherwise.&quot; :)

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">There's a shimmer of blue, green, and silver sparkles, and a suit of mithral chainmail sized for a fox appears on the creature. 83

Kor:<font color="#0000FF">MINE'S BETTER. &gt;:(

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">Yours isn't restful or glamered. 83

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

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; ...I thought nature-spirits hated worked metal?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh that's cute! Now, for everyone else, enjoy yourselves, but don't leave this house until the sun has come at least half-way over the horizon.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Certainly enough trouble is caused back home over it...&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;That's.. what is it called, Miacherry? The Crossing time?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Kan Hy look outside, at least? Hy vanna see vat de odder Fey look like!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Of course. So long as you're within the bounds of the home, you're safe. I'll go down and close the two barrier doors.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's mostly iron that's a problem. But this is mithral! An' besides. I'm not full fey!&quot; 83 &quot;An' I'm not a druid either. See!&quot; Flash! Once the spots go out of your eyes, you find your tea tastes like positive energy now.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;So much for exploring the water.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;And I thought this might be an interesting visit.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Crossing Time, the twilight hours, potayto, potahto.&quot; 83

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;The sad thing is, Sszeyl? You're an elf.. if you knew the rules as I do, you could safely travel outside.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Why do you wanna walk around lakes and such, anyways?&quot; ^^;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">My tea tastes like joy now. How horrid.

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

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Why wouldn't I?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;But.. you don't. So no exploring until full morning.&quot; :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Chust out uf kuriosity, vat do de Fey tink about Orc-kind?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I don't know. Isn't it cold?&quot; {|3

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Watching you guys sleep and musing over how easy it would be to give into the urges and cause some havoc gets old.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy know dey like de elves...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'm not sure, actually.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mmmmmmm.... I dunno! You seem pretty nice. Most orcs are all bang bang metal fire pillage plunder burn chop chop.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I don't intend to explore at all, Tathi.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps we should all get some rest, so as to avoid being anxious to explore when we cannot. We have more traveling ahead of us anyway.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">You saw... glimpses of things. Flittering wings, and some things that looked rather dark until the little chainmailed fox yipped something in Sylvan and they turned around.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">I was busy sitting here.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Did any of them wave back?

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Plotting revenge. *_*

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">All night.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas doesn't voice any complaints.. but..

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">You didn't see them clearly enough to know for sure.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...why would anyone snoop Tathi and Aelian's room?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The elven beds are way too small for him. =3=;;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Because Shankfang naturally waved to them.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I asked OOC. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Namely, the descriptions. :3

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Woman, I have barely checked out what number floor we're on.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Don't rush.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Remind me to order a giant sized bed..&quot;

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

* RAM is immune to explosive effects, remember? EOD magic.

* Meany kicks VAE's cage into the pit.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">No, no he is not.

VAE:<font color="#000000">boiling water for ramen

TMG:<font color="#000000">I'm moving Gnogglebolt's token back out to the 'entrance' of the house, to prepare for DM-vworping later

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

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Oh well, I'll check in a year or two.

VAE:<font color="#000000">an I still need tea

VAE:<font color="#000000">because i'm starting to slow to a grind

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;(Yes?)&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang walks into the dining room, yawning, and waits for breakfast.

Sszeyl: <font color="#a14d7f">(( As a plot for when you get back. :V Or not. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">also ,why are we here

VAE:<font color="#000000">Why is miron there of all?

* VAE confuselynx and dumblynx

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

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">You are here because your dragon ride is exhausted. =3=;

VAE:<font color="#000000">because remember kids. CAD doens't make you smart, it isn't pork

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">(&quot;Are you going to listen to what the Tane has to say when we arrive, or go straight for the stabbity?&quot;)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We flew out of Thalinde and camped in the woods.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Especially if it's Creo / ProEngineer

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Then we flew to Lorellon and visited a little and rested.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;(I do not know.)&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;So, Hy tink Hy sav a kouple uf doze Fey last night. Chust shedows und glimpses, tough. Herd to see in de forest.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">because that one can suck a bundle of dicks

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Then we flew to SEEDs headquarters for Max to sleep again.

VAE:<font color="#000000">goat dicks

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And the next stop is Castleton.

VAE:<font color="#000000">so it's an interlanding

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And some of the party wanted to check out Tathi's new house.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Because it is fairly swank.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's about it, really.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Pretending Gnogglebolt is also in the dining room again.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">My cave is better.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Less vulnerable to fire.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Is Thomas there at the moment? (and Elros?)

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Elros was outside all night.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Bitch, he dead.

Vuz:<font color="#000000">Vuz hid under Max.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Over the course of the day, Thomas is everywhere at some point.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;as long as you didn't go outside trying to chase them down for hugs.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...well. Assuming a time where both Elros and Thomas are in the dining room with everyone else..

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...By the way. I just remembered something.&quot;

* Elros is there, but isn't much for conversation, as usual. =3=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Those Helvirahel assasins. They're still following us last we checked, right?&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Thank you oh so very much for the reminder. &gt;:3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Actually, no, according to Zairith's last report.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">In the morning, Tathi heads outside, and checks on Max. &quot;Sleep well, big silly?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy vaved at dem, but Hy kouldn' tell if dey vaved back.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What was that that Arivan said...we need to--oh, really?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;He said he last tracked them traveling away from Castleton in a wagon, destination unknown.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We should ask him (politely) to resume that scry now that we're returning.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Oh yeah, that. And we assumed they qwere trying to track us, right...&quot;

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Will saves?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Why do you ask?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Will save &#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 1 + 13 = 14&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What was it Arivan said? We need to ask Silverthrush to check Elros's last name and see -why- one of the three assasins is after him, specifically...so we can lure them into a trap for counterattack.

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

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 11 + 1 = 12&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; Will save! +2 against enchantment!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Will save!

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( *brick'd so many times* ))

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And that was my worst save, too! :D

VAE:<font color="#000000">ramen done, water boiling

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Considering all we learned, I would just as soon forget about them if they're content to keep leaving us alone. We'll see what we can see when we return.&quot;

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

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">GM.. you reminded me that Tathi has detect scrying. ^^;;;;;;;;;;;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I.. really hope that wasn't a scry. XP

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy tink zum uf de Onseelie guys tried to get in, but dey left ven Miacherry barked at dem.&quot;

* Maxissoren mumbles and opens his eyes. &quot;Hmmm? Oh, good morning.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">Is it a 24 hour spell?

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Did she cast it this morning?

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">I forgot. ANd she was gonna keep casting it each morning too. XD

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

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">LET THIS BE A LESSON TO YOU.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Sleep well, you big silly? I guess the fey left you alone, seeing how your scales aren't multi-colored.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Well, if you planned for her to cast it every morning, I think it'd be fair to simply assume she does so.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. We can chat about it en route if it's important. Let's get a move on, shall we?: RAM:<font color="#990000">Instead of having to say it every time.

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">That's GM's call.

RAM:<font color="#990000">That would just get tedious.

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fey...? Oh, right, these are fairy woods. What was that pink thing?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d2 = 1&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">There's reasons a DM might not allow such a thing. Like me. I didn't allow Drayco to constantly have detect magic on, because there was a trap that was set off by diviniation magic.

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Well, Tathi, a scrying sensor just popped up on your scry-dar.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;A fey blooded-!!!&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi stops, immediately looking around. &quot;Get tactical. Someone's scrying on us.&quot;

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Roll a CL check, Tathi.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">What say you, GM? Auto-cast, or shall I do a better job of remembering from now on? XP

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 8 + 8 = 16&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; caster check! +1 if it's evocation! +4 to overcome spell resistence!

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No glimpse of the scryer.

* Gamal-Junayd looks around

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Do a better job of remembering. :P

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Goot mornink, Max! Sleep vell?&quot; Shankfang asks as he walks out.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi begins to cast detect magic, and then looks for that little orb.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Get--oh no...&quot; Gnogglebolt reaches for one of his weapons. &quot;Wait...but if someone's viewing us from afar, that means there's no immediate danger...right?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Unaware of the scry, as he came out after Tathi's warning.

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well done, Miss Tathi, and most prudent of you.&quot;

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Ah. Good. I don't think I could have done anything about a scry anyways..&quot; ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the--oh! You!&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends. On how far, and if they are in comminication with someone who isn't as far.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy tink Hy recognize dat voice!&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi looks surprised for a moment, and then cross. &quot;Dangit, Zairith! You just made me waste a spell. Here I was getting ready to blast your scryin' foci!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl waves idly in the air.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt visibly relaxes, probably to Gamal's confusion.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is this..a non hostile then?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello again. How do you do, sir Zairth? And to what do we owe your attention this time?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's so, Gamal.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Quite. A half-drow wizard. We take turns painting his door a different color every week.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi-Troll online!

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

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good morning. You seem to be significantly farther from a source of water than I expected.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We've been getting that from a lot of people lately.&quot; =w=

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- gah, I can't do Zairith without tea, one moment. XD

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve're in Fae voods!&quot; :D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;The ocean? Oh, yes, dragon-flight.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. We expect to be in Castleton today, in fact.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;As it so happened, we were just talking about you.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why would you paint his door a different color every week?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Regarding those unwanted pursuers you had so graciously tracked when we left Castleton in the first place.

* Thomas Lazarus gives Gamal a flat glance. &quot; That was a joke. We don't really do that. =w=;&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Ah! Before I forget, don't go anywhere, Zairith! We're bringing you a gift!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh...oh yes. Something a mutual friend suggested we give to you. Um...is communicating like this safe? I'm supposed to be more careful about names...&quot;

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am not currently in Castleton, Tathi. I will be by sunset, however.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;After some of the things I've seen from your group...I wasn't sure.&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd looks at shankfang

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;It's safe. As of yet, no one has developed a spell to eaves drop on scrying, though I might take a stab at changing that.&quot;

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;Has your seal been reinforced, Sszeyl?&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;So where are you, Zairith? A mysterious, undescribable location?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;I also have buisness with you when you arrive.&quot;

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not in Castleton. That is all you need to know.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang just smiles back.

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Thought so.&quot; Tathi says, smirking.

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

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lethiriss is in Castleton, however. If you have business with her, you need not wait for my presence.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh yeah!&quot; :o &quot;Gamal, we need to introduce you to the baking snake!&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;.. You know, I just thought of something.. Zairith?&quot;

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yuan-ti, bard, not snake.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;My business is with Zairith the Enchanter, to be perfectly honest.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Baking..snake?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Why is it that you, a wizard of no small power, chose to live in such a little hovel? You could easily have a proper mage's tower, if you so wished it.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi glances back at her new home. &quot;It's my own new home that made me think of this.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt just stares oddly at Tathi with a raised eyebrow.

* Thomas Lazarus smiles. &quot;..Lethiriss is a wonderful cook and kind person. We've traded snacks several times. Hers always much better than mine.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat vould be avezum!&quot;

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;That is a personal matter, Tathi.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Always the enigma, eh Zairith?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Um...on hopefully a better topic...mister Zairith, by any chance, have you tried tracking those Helvirahel creeps since the last time we made contact? We were just wondering about what to do next once we arrive in Castleton, if they're still following us.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">You're acting awfully familiar for someone you only met two months ago.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">=3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">toward*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">We've all only known each other for two months. =3=

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was merely checking in on your progress so as better to plan my own itinerary.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Allright. But, I'm going to extend the offer now. If I can get this going, everything stable, and perhaps persuade the local population concerning your personage, I'm offering you a home out here, amoung the trees. Mull it over, if you will, Zairith. I expect no answer any time soon.&quot;

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;Those Helvirahel 'creeps,' as you put it, appeared yesterday to be trying their hardest to skirt Braxton Falls, heading downriver.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...So they're heading away from us. Either they have something else they're doing, or they've lost us entirely.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hey, no fair. He should come live with me,&quot; Tom jokes. |3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi's eyes widen a little. &quot;Well.. either they've lost interest in us, or they've lost track.. and are unaware that we're not south of them but north!&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">|3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Eidder vun iz goot, right?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;As far as I'm concerned, yes.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi smiles over at Max. &quot;You know, I never thought a dragon could be so good at making someone lose our scent.&quot;

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;They did appear to have a second golem with them, however.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Flying would do it. Can't really tracka scent through the air.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I actually almost hope it's the latter. means they're uselessly wasting time on us, instead of messing with someone else. But yes, either scenario is a good thing, as long as they're heading in a direction we are not.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;What? Oh crap. What type?&quot;

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;Clay.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi winces. &quot;They've upgraded..&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus speaks in a low, confident tone. &quot;They'll need it.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi racks her mind for exact details concerning the dreaded clay golem.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We have other concerns, anyways.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+20 = 11 + 20 = 31&#160; <font color="#0000FF">&#187; Knowledge Arcana!

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;At least it's not a metal one?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Enough to peek at the stat block, DM? :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... you know what, yes. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">I actually remember that clay golems -do- have one very nasty trick up their sleeve...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Golems. Hmm, never fought vun uf doze before.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Right then.&quot; She says, and looks to all their melee fighters. &quot;Thomas, Gamal, and maybe even you, Sszeyl. First thing's first, either you get yourselves an adamantine weapon, or a bludgeoning one. You'll have a hard time with a clay golem otherwise.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Clay's soft unless baked, and even then is more brittle then stone or metal. I dont know if that would affect a golems power, but wouldn't think it'd be a very good material to make something meant for combat.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Hrm. That's not good news.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Unless I make some adamantine bullets...&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Sszeyl flexes his hands.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Will these do?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Actually, they should.&quot; She says, nodding to Sszeyl.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm, dat enchantment Hy vant for de nev gun Hy'm designink vould be perfeck!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">Ram, why is Dagula inside?

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Don't ask me, I didn't put her there.

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">Mrowww. &quot;LiNeer sends her greetings as well.&quot;

* VAE might actually join when we reach Castleton

* VAE .. just dunno

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Allright, bad news. If you're hurt by a clay golem, healing is going to be a problem. It curses everyone it touches. Healing magic has a hard time getting through the curse.&quot;

Vuz:<font color="#A14D7F">Meow! :D

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are we that likely to have to fight these people anytime soon? If we take precautions when we leave castleton..we could keep them off our trail for a long time.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#0000FF">Bark bark! Hi!

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;And the sentiment that she is quite amused by your rat's accoutrements.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Heck, it might go crazy in the middle of the fight.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unfortunately, we really don't know, Gamal. It's a long story, and their tie to us isn't what you would expect.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Adamantine maces are kind of out of my price range for a long time. If it shows up before then.. well. We'll just have to overwhelm its defenses. Which we can do.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because I can't afford brand new weapons like that.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll tell you when we're flying on our way back to Castleton.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;We'll want to kill it quickly. It can speed itself up for a short duration once combat has commenced.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Want to know the worst news though?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;No. We just heard they're way out hundreds of miles downriver of here, and going further.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Like nearly all golems, it's immune to many, many spells. Absolutely no effect whatsoever.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then maybe by the time they've reached us, they'll havea different type.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;I'll have to pick my spells carefully if we intend to fight it. Oh! And never hit it with acid. That heals it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. They already have...what was it...a 'flesh' golem?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hope that's a euphemism.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;No, it is not.. they are constructed out of cadavers.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt makes a gagging sound.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Welp. Nothing we can do right this moment, at any rate.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;M'ah.. they're in a cart last we heard.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come on, everyone. Shall we get home now?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They'll be gone for weeks at minimum.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;And so, too, shall we likely be gone by time they're not.&quot;

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;You will know your assassin squad's golem should you see it. I was able to discern that most of it is made of human cadavers, but its left arm and shoulder appear to be drow-skinned. The remains of your failed assassin, no doubt.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I say if we HAVE to deal with them...we take the initative..and hit them hard enough and fast enough they can't order the golems to engage. Or while the golems are away from them.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Forget it, Gamal. We tried. They're not that easy to find.&quot;

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;I suppose I will be seeing at least some of you this evening. Were there any other matters you wished to discuss with me before then?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I wonder what's the excuse.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Was it simply Miron being asleep at the moment?

* VAE wonders how to explain his absence

Liatai:<font color="#000000">We can roll with that. :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If they can be found via scrying..them I'm sure we could use that to ambush them, but only if they draw close.&quot;

* VAE no idea if it'd even make sense

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Its not as useful as you might think in a city.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They noticed us scrying the last time we tried it. Zairith is the only one who can do it safely, it seems.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;There's.. a hiccup where scrying is concerned, Gamal. See, right now, Zairith doesn't know that we're south of Castleton. Just that we're in a wooded area.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They would need to be next to a unique landmark we happen to recognize. In other words, not happening.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then wait till they are not in a city.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Scrying simply doesn't tell you -where- the target is. It's.. weird how the magic works.&quot;

Maxissoren:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, now he does.&quot; |3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And of course, he has much more important things to do than keep tabs on them all the time. And yes, there's the surroundings problem.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Then they're not in a city. Scrying only reveals the surroundings within ten feet of a target.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It doesn't let us know where they are in any meaningful way.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;You know what? I just know there must be a way to use Scrying as a locator. It's positively silly that it can't be adapted that way.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps there is some other magic that could be used.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Besides the fact that they're professional assassins and Drow. The magic won't always work, and getting the jump on them even with a clue isn't assured.&quot;

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;You have been researching your spellcraft during your journey. Correct.&quot; The voice does sound vaguely impressed... probably because he didn't expect that from Thomas. *brick'd*

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Definitely. But these are assassins we're talking about.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">to the voice. &quot;Sir, do you know of any magical method that might be used to locate them if it seemed a meeting was to take place, adn we wanted to make sure it was on our terms?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Like I said. We've barked up this tree before. There's almost nothing we can do. I'm just glad they've wandered off. They're like a mosquito in a room you know about but can't spot.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;An excellent analogy, Thomas.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... Spellcraft experts, help me out here. :B

* Liatai is wracking her brain. :B

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

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;If we get a chance to squash them, we will. But we're not going to hunt for such an opportunity.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Range is too short.

* Meany chugs.

Meany:<font color="#A14D7F">I got nothing. |SD

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">Scrying has theoretically infinite range. The other divination spells do not.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Range is too short.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I don't think there -is- any spell that tells you the exact location of some other creature. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">At least, not so directly.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">It would be splat, if there was.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">tl;dr no we can't fiat find them without having wizards cast Swarm of Eyes and scour the city for weeks, or use clever mundane methods - that they are no doubt better at.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Can we please move on. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">This is where they have the wizard make up custom spells.

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;If such methods exist, I am not well-acquainted with them.&quot;

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">but it's 8th lvl :)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, are we ready to move on?&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">Vvvvvvvvvvvv --

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">POUNCE Shankfang's head. &quot;Gooooooooooooooooood mornin'!&quot; 8D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Hello Miacherry. How did it go last night?&quot; Tathi asks, smiling.

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

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

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We do know where they are.&quot;

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

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

Disembodied Voice:<font color="#000000">&quot;I had best be going. Before any other anomalies appear. Good day, Guardians.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;See you soon!&quot; :3

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

* Thomas Lazarus waves.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">And now let's get the fuck out of this horrible treeland.

GM:<font color="#000000">The scrying sensor winks out.

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">The air tastes like I've just eaten mint.

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh hey! One more thing!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I know, isn't it great?

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi Tathi Tathi!&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Yes yes yes?&quot; :)

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F"><b>Shud up yo mout.

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;D'you wanna pick a day for me to stop by regularly enough for official business, or should I just come by whenever?&quot; 83

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh please do come by whenever. I can't set up an official day for business yet, seeing how I shall be all over the great blue yonder.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okie dokie!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It was nice meeting you.&quot; :3

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">Flit flit flit -- BWOMPH.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Bai Miacherry!&quot; Wave wave wave!

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Who iz dat?&quot;

Tathi: <font color="#ff">(( walp. There be our name for this session. XP ))

Rainbow Wolf:<font color="#000000">Suddenly, a large white wolf with a streak of rainbow fur down its back appears in a puff of mist. It has... a saddle?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The fox...rides a wolf...&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Not surprised anymore.'

* Thomas Lazarus seems more baffled than impressed. &quot;...&quot; {:3

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">The fox lands on the wolf's back and flaps her wings once or twice. &quot;Seeya when I seeya! Byeeeeee!&quot; 8D

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">Tathi giggles, and waves goodbye!

* Thomas Lazarus waves uncertainly. {:3

Tathi:<font color="#0000FF">&quot;Oh, how I've missed the fey.&quot;

Miacherry:<font color="#000000">And fox and wolf trot off into the forest, though the fox seems to be flying half the time.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why is it..that every day I'm with you guys...more and more wierd things I just dont want to think about happen?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;You get used to it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Or go insane.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#A14D7F">&quot;Whichever comes first.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Fatigue check, how is everyone?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Not bad.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Still got more Dew.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">The yawns be settin' in. ^^

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I seriously can't even do anything in Castleton. I can like, react. A little.

GM:<font color="#000000">All right. Sorry, Meany, and VAE, but shall we do Castleton next session when everyone's awake?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But it would be awesome to get off Namek today.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yeah, I have to admit, I'm running low as well.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">NOPE. GOTTA SPEND THREE SESSIONS BLOWIN' IT UP.

TMG:<font color="#000000">--pfffft. xD

* VAE can't be arsed to do anything here today, anyways

GM:<font color="#000000">The Trickster's Feast - (Damarron 6th - October 31st) - A day of feasting, drinking, joke-playing, and revelry. It's like Halloween, April Fools', and Mardi Gras all rolled into one raucous whole. Customs vary depending on the settlement, but it tends to be customary to wear masks (and often costumes) on this day. In some communities, especially those with temples to the Laughing Rogue, one person in each neighborhood takes on the role of the trickster god. (This may or may not be a cleric of Olidammara.) Masked, he travels from house to house, looking for a party to join. If this guest is invited in and treated well, he delivers a blessing and/or favors to the partygoers. (These favors are usually small gifts; gold, sweets, some good liquor, toys, a small gem or piece of jewelry, a song, a performance, a beneficial/entertaining spell... The possibilities are endless, and the type of gift given usually depends on just who was chosen to be Olidammarra that year. Some communities have a drop box available for the week before the Trickster's Feast for people to donate small gifts which the Trickster then delivers randomly. The gifts are traditionally delivered in small cloth bags or crackers (not the food, the kind you pull apart with prizes inside).) If the masked man is shunned, ignored, or rebuffed, however, a prank is played upon the person/people instead.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I would have an enchantment to get in Castleton, if someone would spare a day or two to help with crafting. &gt;.&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">While I have lots. And they're not really things conducive to party-wide involvement.

Ghostwish:<font color="#0000FF">and this plays when Kor and LiNeer next fight. XP http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/53576

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">no. I..didn't know we actually tracked that, no one told me till she mentioned mirons

TMG:<font color="#000000">I have lots of plans for Castleton too, and very few that involve the whole party as well

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">I..just dont have enough ties to castleton to have plans atm

TMG:<font color="#000000">Hang on....Lia, including New Year's Week, how many months are there in Akellon, again? (don't want to try opening up the wiki right now, it's slow)

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">looking on wiki...16 sections of hte year...

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d16 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">6 days before miron

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, this period of time is supposed to be used for -building- those ties. :B

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I have -some- things to do in Castleton. Namely, get ready for Talfeera's eventual arrival.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So get out there and interact with PCs and NPCs, you all! XP

* VAE hopes next week won't be shit like thi

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh yes! Gnogglebolt will surely introduce Gamal to everyone

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yes, but I can't exactly go in saying I'm going to contact all these people I don't know

TMG:<font color="#000000">don't worry, the rest of the party will bring Gamal along.

* Ghostwish ties a chain to Gamal for ze dragging. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Of course, if there are things that really don't involve the main party at all, I'm willing to hold mini-sessions in the week after next session. :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">so if curretn year on wiki is right...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The current year is 1221 CA. It should be correct.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And me! I've never been to Castleton either!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">Gamal would of been born Damaran 12th, 1191

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">sorry 1190

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Awesome! :3 I'll slap that on the wiki, unless you want to.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">feel free to, dont know what order you have those dates in

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">I can add a character page after it's there too

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

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Reminds me, I need to put those holiday blurbs on the wiki, too.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">To ze IRC, or to bed? :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hopefully next session I can get some sleep beforehand.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I'm heading to ze IRC, but won't stay long.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I've been struggling and debating leaving early the whole game. I can't even stop and play anything. ^^;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Mmm, IRC for a little bit for me.

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

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