[slingergame] PerrySimm says, "Log on."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Woo."
[slingergame] Luthian exclaims, "So excited!"
[Crows-Nest] Luthian says, "So, Irma just redirected to Tampa."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I've spent some time learning two new spells. One for charming people and one for healing them."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul asks, "Are you in that area?"
[Crows-Nest] Luthian says, "No, but I have family there."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul asks, "Are they evacuating?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "ooh, healing <3"
[Crows-Nest] Luthian says, "I haven't been able to touch base with them today."
DM arrives from the east.
DM exclaims, "Hello!"
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "Who's ready for some awesomeness?"
Luthian waves.
Shaborys says, "Hello, all mighty DM."
Quarion bows.
[slingergame] Quarion says, "Meeeee"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yay"
DM asks, "So, anything we need to clear up? Questions, etc?"
Shaborys shakes her head.
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Does anyone remember what happened last time?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I think there were axes."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "But I lost count of how many."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "We got the lady, but she's dead, so we're carrying her back to town. Where I wanna raid her safe."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "It was sad."
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, why don't you folks recap what happened"
[slingergame] Luthian doesn't recall what happened to him last time.
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "There was a goat. But it ran away."
[slingergame] Horst says, "There was a friendly wasp"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "I believe that at the end of everything, we decided to camp out outside the cave for the night before heading back, right?"
Quarion has been moody of late. He feels like he isn't yet the hero he ought to be. So he's been learning spells, staring into the night, thinking about his destiny.
[slingergame] DM says, "Good, good"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "yeah"
[slingergame] DM says, "You also wanted to share some info among each other"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "So I imagine today's session starts with us waking up?"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I think so."
[slingergame] DM says, "Yes, you had long rest and it's a bright spring morning, belying the events of the previous night."
Vraklul wakes up early and begins doing some stretches and calisthenics.
[slingergame] DM asks, "Belying? Is that a word?"
Shaborys streeeeeetches out.
Vraklul exclaims (at Quarion), "Good morning!"
Quarion has slept uneasily, haunted by Tazlynn's death in his dreams.
Quarion says, "Morning, friend."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul asks, "Do elves sleep?"
Luthian has been awake for the past hour or so, making sure his gear is topped off, sharpened, and so on. Ready to move at a moment's notice. He offers polite nods to those just waking up, keeping rather to himself.
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "They meditate"
[Crows-Nest] Luthian says, "Hibernate, like bears."
Vraklul says (to Quarion), "Last night, I remember you mentioning something about a 'blood-forged chain'."
Vraklul asks, "Do you know anything about it?"
Quarion says, "Very little. But I'll tell you all I know."
Quarion says, "My mentor is Brunhilda Bloodaxe, dwarven sage, who has taught me all that I know about magic. She told me many stories, stories about her journeys to strange and wondrous places."
Quarion says, "About 50 years ago, she was part of a rescue effort to the Kingdom of Burning Rocks."
Quarion says, "Some dwarves had tried to settle there, and their king was Balthasar Thrice-Slain, father of ill-fated Tazlynn."
Vraklul asks, "Tazlynn was a princess?"
Quarion says, "She was, indeed."
DM says, "(He's actually called The thrice-slain-King, usually, and Thrice-Slain turned into a family name somehow)"
Quarion says, "Anyway, when Brunhilda and her friends arrived, they found all the adult dwarves mad or catatonic."
Quarion says, "They only managed to save the children. Tazlynn was one of them."
DM says, "Or dead. Mostly dead."
Quarion says, "Please ignore the invisible spirit trying to help me tell this story."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "A boulder falls on Quarion."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "Well, time to go find someone else who can give us exposition!"
Quarion says, "Anyway, to tell a long story short, the only clue to what happened..."
Quarion says, "...was a name. A name whispered by the survivors, a name the full meaning of which they could never explain."
Quarion says, "The Blood-forged Chain."
DM says, "A cold gust of wind blows through the campfire."
Vraklul says, "It's a name I've heard myself. In a vision, several months ago..."
Vraklul says, "'It laughed at us from the dark', she said. 'The blood-forged Chain.'"
Vraklul says, "In fact... that gnomish woman we saw last night with Tazlynn, the one who vanished? She reminds me of the voice from my vision."
Luthian nods quietly, working on his knife still.
Vraklul says, "There is something dark in the world. Something to do with this 'blood-forged chain'. I think I've been called to fight it."
Vraklul says, "But I can't do it alone. That's another thing I saw in my vision: lights standing up against the darkness. I know I won't be the only one."
Vraklul asks, "Will you join me?"
Horst says, "That is good."
Shaborys quietly hmms.
Quarion leans upon his quarterstaff. 'You need not ask. I will.'
Vraklul says, "...and the rest of you? I know you must have your own lives and plans and goals, but... I think this is bigger than any of us."
Shaborys says, "I may... tag along."
Shaborys says, "Wouldn't want any of you to die or anything."
Horst says, "It seems I am meant to walk beside you a while."
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "She says ironically."
Luthian nods. "I may tag along as well." He says, after a while, with a hint of sarcastic "Alright, if you insist" attitude.
Vraklul exclaims, "Wonderful!"
Vraklul says, "Well, now that that's settled, let's make breakfast."
Vraklul says, "I picked up some sausages from town before we set out that I've been saving."
DM says, "You sit quiet for a moment, weighing your decision. Then you hear an eagle, high in the sky, utter a single cry. A few moments later, a single feather sails down, circles the campfire and lands in Vraklul's lap."
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys asks, "Eagle for breakfast?"
Vraklul exclaims, "A favorable omen!"
Vraklul picks up the feather and turns it around in his fingers, then tucks it into his hair behind one ear.
DM asks, "So, after eating a hearty breakfast, you make your way back to town?"
Shaborys says, "Yup. I presume."
Shaborys lugs the body.
Horst says, "Yes"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Yes, carrying the body."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Perhaps on some kind of sling."
Luthian nods. Follows the group, helping with the body.
DM says, "A few hours later, you are back at the Greymaw city gates. The two guards on duty first look kinda bored, but then straighten up as they see your cargo."
Vraklul asks (of Quarion), "Do you know of any surviving relatives that Tazlynn had in the city?"
(From DM) "Now, just a minute there!"
Shaborys waves quietly.
DM says, "But we'll let Quarion answer first"
Quarion whispers to Vraklul, 'I'm sorry, but I don't know of any. That was why I was there, to check on her for Brunhilda's sake.'
Horst says, "We know she was close to that blacksmith."
(From DM) Now, why are you bringing a dead dwarf to my city?
Vraklul says (to Guards), "Somber day. We bear an unfortunate burden. A citizen of the city has passed on."
Luthian shifts his weight around, ever so subtly. He's no spring chicken, so the weight of the dead dwarf's a bit much.
(From DM) The other guard looks at your cargo. "Oh, no. It's Tazlynn, that painter."
Vraklul nods.
Quarion says, "She was not only a painter, she was also an exiled princess. May she rest in peace."
DM says, "The guards look at you with further questions in their eyes, but as they see your somber looks, they let you pass."
Shaborys nods.
Vraklul says (to Horst), "Let's go to him, then."
Quarion follows Vraklul's lead.
Vraklul asks, "I think that some of us should wait outside with the body, rather than bringing it into the shop with us -- any volunteers?"
Shaborys will ait.
DM says, "Soon you arrive at Drong's blacksmith shop. He is just opening up, and as he sees and your cargo come down the street, he sighs for a moment and then waves you inside."
DM says, "He was placing wares outside and saw you."
Luthian will continue to hoist the body, unless he'd be better off outside.
Vraklul says, "It is a somber day, friend. We have sorely failed in our task."
Vraklul says, "I am very sorry."
DM says, "Inside, Drong clears one of his tables in the back to put the body on. "What happened?" he asks, curtly."
Vraklul says, "She had been abducted, by some kind of cult. They had brought her to a cave not far from the city."
(From DM) He nods. "I see. Some cult, you say? That is odd. Maybe it had to do with her father's family."
Quarion says, "We fought out way inside, but we arrived too late to save her."
DM says, "I don't know why someone would kill her for something that happened 50 years ago." He sniffs. "The poor lass. She just wanted to paint her pictures in peace.""
Luthian sets the body down with as much politeness(?) as possible, before posting up, and keeping an ear open to the goings on, both inside and out.
Vraklul asks, "As she was... passing, she did mention something about her 'father's yoke'?"
(From DM) "Did the weird gnome woman say anything before she disappeared?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says (to Vraklul), "That was just a poetic descriptor"
Vraklul asks, "Yes -- she mentioned something called 'Myrehall'?"
Vraklul asks, "She was screaming and a not entirely coherent, but... she might have thought we were there to take her away to some place or person with that name?"
DM says, "Myrehall? That's the gnome city to the east, near the mountains."
Vraklul looks at the others. "Then that's where we ought to go."
Shaborys nods.
(From DM) "Thank you for the help, friends. I will make the funeral arrangements."
Luthian nods, and makes ready to set out.
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Luckily nobody noticed that the town was called MyreFall in the transcript for season 1"
Shaborys heads out of the shop.
Horst asks, "To her residence, then?"
Shaborys says, "Yes."
[slingergame] DM asks, "Did he already give you the stuff you ordered from him?"
[slingergame] DM says, "I forget."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I assumed yes."
[Crows-Nest] Luthian hopes he's not being a Debbie Downer with his one-liners. o_o
Vraklul says, "If you learn of anything else to do with what happened to her family, or with Myrehall, or with the 'blood-forged chain', please let us know. Hopefully Davina will be able to contact us."
[slingergame] DM says, "Ah, good."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "In theory, it was in my AC during the mission."
(From DM) Ah, few made it out of Balthasar's cursed kingdom, and none with their mind intact. I think Tazlynn was one of the few survivors still alive today.
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "And I have the dagger on my sheet. And someone has the bandages?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Good, good."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "We probably already used them :D"
Vraklul says, "Thank you."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So yeah, her place seems like the next spot to look for clues."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "We should also check in on that one guy's sister. The one who needed an operation."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "All right."
(From DM) "And alas, few know where it actually was. Somewhere in the Tallhyll Mountains, beyond the Kingdom of Burning Rocks.
Vraklul asks, "I am a newcomer to this region -- do you know of a merchant who sells good maps of the area?"
(From DM) "And I assume everyone who wants to go there would need permission from the Everburning King."
Vraklul asks, "The who?"
(From DM) "Alas, we don't believe much in maps here in Bastafore."
Quarion asks, "He's a Fire Giant, right?"
Quarion says, "Brunhilda mentioned those."
DM says, "Oh, you're new here. Yes, the Tallhyll Mountains are the realm of the Fire Giants."
Vraklul says, "Aha."
DM says, "But you can go to Myrehall without worrying about them."
Vraklul says, "Thank you. I fear our path may lead us there eventually, but I hope by the time that happens, we will be prepared."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "I bet that I'll have to dive into a river to escape those fiery blighters. Hence, the Water Breathing potion."
DM says, "I hope so, to. I hope you find that Blood-forged chain, whatever it is, and put and end to it."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(I.e., we'll get enough levels to be ready to face fire giants.)"
Vraklul says, "As do I! Farewell."
[slingergame] Luthian hopes we'll be ready, as well.
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "We should probably check in with Davina at some point."
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, at the point you are now, they all have skulls next to their names."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "eep"
DM asks, "So, you visit Davina, I assume?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Davina, operation gal and Tazlynn's house, in some order."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "I suppose whichever one is closest?"
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Tazlynn, then gal, then Davina. Orde of importance?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Sure"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Or that, sure."
DM says, "You go to Tazlynn's house, which is locked down and quiet."
Shaborys looks around to make sure no one is watching and picks the front door lock.
Vraklul says, "The landlord seems to have locked the door. A wise move."
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 13 | 13 + 7 = 20
DM exclaims, "The door is unlocked!"
Vraklul says, "...although perhaps not so effective as he might have hoped."
Shaborys heads directly upstairs to the bedroom, where the safe is.
Luthian moves to follow Shaborys.
Vraklul will tag along in case anyone needs any help.
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "I think the bedroom is the only room we thoroughly searched, so should check out other rooms afterwards, maybe."
Shaborys checks whether the safe trap was reinstated.
DM says, "It was not"
Quarion follows the others, because.
Shaborys takes the painting off the wall and unlocks it with both keys.
[slingergame] Luthian distinctly remembers people being sneakthief-y bastards, so he's going to be sticking to folks from now on. :p
[slingergame] Shaborys looks offended.
DM says, "The safe opens effortlessly. It contains some papers, deeds to the house and such, and something wrapped in linen."
Shaborys unwraps the linen.
Shaborys hands the papers to someone else to look at.
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Everybody dies."
Luthian takes the papers, and riffles through them.
Quarion asks, "What's in the linen? Something cursed?"
DM says, "You hold in your hand something like a medallion? Only it's too huge and heavy to be worn around anyone's neck. It's made of gold, obviously dwarven work, and intricately carved in scenes of battle between dwarves and Duergar."
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "An even bigger key!"
Shaborys holds out the medallion. "Anyone know what this means?"
Luthian examines the medallion.
DM says, "It has a heavy, sturdy feel to it, and it has some moving parts, but you're not sure how it would work."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "What are Duergar?"
DM says (to luthian), "The papers contain nothing of interest."
DM says, "Unless you want to go into real estate."
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "My house now!"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Dwarves from the Underdark."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Sounds sinister."
Vraklul asks, "Is it a family heirloom?"
Quarion asks, "Must be. Why else --?"
Vraklul says, "If we find any other members of her family, we should return it to them."
[slingergame] Luthian wonders if any of his skills could be used to ascertain the value/provenance of the medallion.
[slingergame] DM asks, "Hm, maybe History?"
Vraklul asks, "In the meantime... should we leave it with Drong, or should we hold onto it ourselves?"
Quarion says, "We keep it."
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "Alright. Shall I go ahead and roll?"
Quarion says, "It may help us discover the truth."
Shaborys offers to hold onto it for now.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Sure."
Horst says, "It might put his life in danger to leave it with him."
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "1d20+(history bonus)?"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Does anyone who has a non-negative Investigation modifier want to try to figure out those moving parts?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah"
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 5 | 5 + 4 = 9
Vraklul says (to Horst), "Good point."
[slingergame] Luthian has a non-negative mod, yeah.
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Nope"
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "Can I roll for both, or..?"
[slingergame] Luthian is just asking.
[slingergame] DM says, "sure"
[slingergame] Luthian says, "Alright. Uno momento."
Luthian rolls 1 20-sided die: 18 | 18 + 4 = 22
[slingergame] Luthian says, "History."
Luthian rolls 1 20-sided die: 3 | 3 + 4 = 7
[slingergame] Luthian says, "Investigation."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "And nope. Neither of us has any clue :D"
Quarion says, "I'll try and look at it."
[slingergame] Luthian says, "-Shaborys We suck."
[slingergame] Luthian says, "..."
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 3 | 3 + 2 = 5
DM says, "You recall that Balthasar was called the thrice slain King because he fought a long and bloody war with the Duergar in the South, and was proclaimed dead by his enemies 3 times, only to emerge alive, and in the end, victorious. From the making, it's some sort of intricate dwarven key for something special."
DM says, "But you can't quite figure out more."
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "Was that a general thing, or to someone in particular?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I assume that was the result of the 22 you rolled for History."
[slingergame] DM says, "Exactly"
[slingergame] Luthian says, "Just making sure."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "We'll assume that you relayed that to us in your own words."
[slingergame] Luthian scribbles out the pose he was working on, then. :p
[slingergame] Luthian shrugs.
Vraklul says, "A key? Perhaps we'll find what it goes to if we find what remains of Balthasar's kingdom."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh, sorry."
[slingergame] Luthian says, "No worries."
Shaborys asks, "Shall we search downstairs?"
Vraklul says, "Sure, why not."
Shaborys heads down to the kitchen.
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "Did you want me to go ahead and pose?"
Quarion says, "I'll help."
[slingergame] DM says, "No, there's not much point in retyping the info I just gave. Exposition is slow enough as it is. :-)"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Perception or Investigation?"
[slingergame] Luthian says, "Alright. Just asking."
DM says, "To cut it short: An hour later, you have a deep insight into Tazylnn's home life, but no new info that would help with your quest."
Shaborys finds nothing.
Luthian makes his way after the group, his mind wandering to the pendant. It could fetch a good bit of money in the right hands. Ah well, back to the present. He grumps as the search turns up a whole lot of nothing new.
Quarion asks, "Shall we help out the sister of the guy we killed?"
Shaborys says, "I suppose."
Vraklul says, "We should."
Shaborys says, "Assuming she's real."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "I think we got info about where she lived from that guy we spared, right?"
DM says (to Shaborys), "The guy said she lives at The Halfling's Luck casino."
Luthian nods. "That seems like the right thing to do." He agrees.
DM says, "Also, come to think of it, the city guard was super friendly to Ronan when they arrested him."
Shaborys hm.
Shaborys says, "Fine, let's do this thing."
DM asks, "So you make your way to the casino?"
Shaborys yeah.
Quarion says, "Obviously."
Luthian nods.
DM says, "I'm just asking because he killed One-Axe's brother and he is clearly in league with the guard and you barely escaped last time."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Everyone else wants to, so Shabby is gonna follow. She doesn't care, either way."
[slingergame] Luthian figures there's safety in numbers.
[slingergame] Luthian says, "And even so, I could probably go stealth, and keep an eye on things from a distance, and then if needed jump in and stab-stabbity-stab.."
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Wait is this the same casino as before?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Yes"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Drat."
Shaborys asks, "Guys? Are we sure this is a good idea?"
Quarion hesitates noticeably.
Horst says, "Not really."
Luthian blinks. And then something comes to him, he glances to Shaborys. "...Yeah. Wait. This is.." He deadpans.
Vraklul asks (of Shaborys), "Showing our faces there, you mean?"
Shaborys nods.
Vraklul looks around at the group. "Is there anyone here who wouldn't be recognized?"
Shaborys says, "Unless you want to send Davina, no."
(From DM) Bloodfang shakes his head.
[slingergame] Luthian would be recognized, wouldn't he. No disguises available. Bah.
Vraklul exclaims, "Ah!"
Shaborys worries about sending her into danger, but maybe it's ok.
Quarion says (to Vraklul), "If you have an idea, friend, now's the time."
Vraklul says (to Quarion), "Not my idea, but: if we asked Davina, she might be able to find this woman."
Vraklul says, "And arrange an opportunity for us to meet her and try to help her."
Quarion says, "Sounds safer."
Vraklul says, "Perhaps Horst's magic might be able to cure her condition, or failing that, we might at least be able to help arrange this operation that her borther was attempting to fund..."
Shaborys says, "Let's go find her."
Shaborys says, "Erm, Davina, I mean."
[slingergame] Vraklul exclaims, "OK, back to the inn!"
Luthian readies himself, and sets off with the rest of the crew!
Shaborys plucks another flower from the window box.
DM says, "Allrighty, you make your way back to the Inn and find Davina convincing the owner to but this potion that is guaranteed to keep his beer fresher for a few more weeks."
(From DM) "Hello friends! Were you succesful in your noble quest?" She giggles. "I assume that's how Adventurers talk."
Shaborys rolls her eyes, but smiles.
Vraklul says, "Alas, no. We were too late."
Shaborys says, "We have a quest for you, however."
(From DM) "Oh no. I'm sorry."
(From DM) "For me?" Dragonborn faces are hard to read, but she seems a bit scared, bust mostly excited.
Luthian sighs and shakes his head to Davina, glancing to Vraklul. He decides to grab a quick snack at the bar. Feeling kinda hungry, yeah.
[slingergame] Luthian says, "That headshake was meant in response to the quest success."
Shaborys says, "There's a lady at the Casino who may or may not exist who may or may not require an operation, and these fellows want to help her out. However, we, uh.. ca'nt safely show our faces at the casino again. Don't wworry, we won't let anything happen to you."
Shaborys says, "I will personally make sure of that."
(From DM) She does something very rare in reptiles, which must be a sign of confusion. She blinks.
Shaborys says, "Let's just assume she exists, ok? It's easier that way."
(From DM) "Oh-okay, I guess? So you want me to find out if this lady exists or not, and if she exists, I should give her some money?"
Shaborys says, "We'd like to meet with her, if possible."
Shaborys says, "Or rather, they would. I could'nt care less."
Shaborys says, "She needs, presumably, either money or healing. Which Horst may be capable of."
(From DM) "So I should find this lady, and convince her to come to you?"
Shaborys nods.
[slingergame] Shaborys has never spoken so much before! She kind of likes Davina, though.
(From DM) Davina still looks a bit confused. "Okay, any idea on how to find her?"
Shaborys says, "The ladies at the casino are quite friendly. I'm sure they must know her."
Vraklul gives Davina the name that they were given.
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Er, assuming he gave us one. He must have, right?"
[slingergame] DM says, "I don't think so, actually."
[slingergame] DM says, "he was kind of coy on the subject."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "We know the brother's name?"
[Crows-Nest] DM | DM exclaims, "And I only worked for Two-Axe to pay for the operation of that guy's daughter!" / Shaborys asks, "Daughter? You mean sister?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I mean, it would seem really odd for someone to use their dying breath to make up a story about a sick sister if he didn't have a sick sister."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Ah, it was the croupier."
Vraklul says, "Er, I forget the exact name, but she's the sister of the croupier."
(From DM) "Okay, I'll just ask the croupier then"
Shaborys says, "I think we should accompany her to the casino and stake it out. Just in case."
Shaborys says, "Luthian and I can get close."
(From DM) She smiles nervously. "Yeah, I wouldn't mind that"
Vraklul says (to Davina), "Unfortunately, he won't be there. He was one of the individuals who foudn himself on the wrong side of matters."
Vraklul says, "But he claims he was only working for the evildoers in order to fund an operation for his sister."
Vraklul says, "As we have now prevented him from doing so, we feel it's our duty to at least see to her well-being."
Luthian glances between the group as each member speaks up, trying to process each bit of info as it comes to him. But..? Oh. What about..? Oh. But wait--oh. Bah.
(From DM) "Oh dear, I see. Well, okay then. Let me finish my beer and I'll be ready to go. But you most promise me nothing will happen to me. My husband and hatchlings are waiting for me in Wolfwater."
Shaborys says, "I promise."
(From DM) Davina squeezes you on the shoulder. "Thank you, Stabby."
Vraklul says, "We will be nearby outside."
Shaborys raises an eyebrow ridge and smirks.
Vraklul says, "If you are in any danger, yell, and we will come."
(From DM) Davina nods and turns back to her beer. (Then she buys a round for all of you).
Vraklul says, "But do be careful -- there are people there who are not as kind as you."
Shaborys nods at Davina and quaffs her beer.
Luthian finishes his sandwich, and a glass of water. Best be in possession of all of his faculties for a job like this.
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "What color is Davina?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Red"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Ok"
DM asks, "Okay, how exactly do you want to handle this?"
Shaborys wants to be close enough to a door or window to listen/watch if possible.
Horst keeps an eye out for city guards, etc.
Quarion will keep watch in the street, trying to blend in. He'll pretend to be a street singer, begging for pennies.
DM says (to Shaborys), "Sure, you can go to one of the side windows."
Shaborys stealthes it up.
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 18 | 18 + 7 = 25
DM says (to horst), "No guards in sight."
DM says (to quarion), "Roll performance"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "what's the mod?"
[Crows-Nest] Alex says (to Quarion), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that MoD is the maze of doom, which is gone, but it was fun while it lasted."
DM says, "Sharbobys blends into the shadows"
Vraklul will loiter near the main entrance.
[slingergame] DM says (to Quarion), "if you don't have the skill, just CHA"
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Charisma"
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 3 | 3
[Crows-Nest] Luthian admits to being a bit lost as to his part in all of this.
Vraklul (smoking his pipe)
DM says (to vraklul), "Roll Loitering"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "I... um. Is that Stealth?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "If so, I'd like to leave my armor at the inn."
DM says (to vraklul), "Someone has stepped onto a nail down the street and is yelling constantly. No wait, that's Quarion"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Is it too late for that?"
DM says, "Alas, I kid. You just loiter."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Phew."
[slingergame] DM says (to luthian), "Well, just look at what the other do and find a thing to do."
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "I suppose I'll follow Shaborys' lead?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Roll stealth"
Luthian rolls 1 20-sided die: 15 | 15 + 7 = 22
DM says, "You merge with the shadows benath another window."
Quarion keeps on singing soulfully (and out of tune). 'Hey nonnny nonny...'
(From DM) Some passerby yells, "Hey, how much for you to STOP singing? HA HA HA"
(From DM) Meanwhile, Davina goes into the casino. First she grabs a drink at the bar, then she goes to one of the tables and plays.
(From DM) In the back of the casino, you see One-Axe Burton and Rolan the Slayer, watching over things.
(From DM) Davina finally moves over to some of the dancers and talks with them.
(From DM) One of the dancer points at Rolan, and Davina goes over to him.
(From DM) They chat for a bit, with Rolan seeming very suspicious, and finally he grabs Davina by the arm and waves to of his thugs over.
(From DM) Er, two.
Luthian keeps an eye on things from his position, as well as can be expected. He steels himself, ready to move at a moment's notice.
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "afk, for a minute ,sorry"
(From DM) They grab Davina by the arms and lead her towards the backdoor.
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Np"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "We'll wait"
Vraklul can't see anything from his location, so he won't be doing anything unless someone notifies him of a problem.
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "I /can/ see things, can't I? Or have they moved out of my line of sight?"
DM says, "Meanwhile, Bloodfang tries to howl along to Quarion's singing, and now the passerby's are saying "Aw, that's so cute""
[slingergame] DM says, "Yes, you can see everything"
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "ok, I'm here"
Shaborys steps away from teh window and signals everyone.
[Crows-Nest] Horst says, "Now we're splitting the party with people who aren't even in the party"
[slingergame] DM says, "Consider yourselves signalled everyone."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Let's pretend we had a signal :D"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Or i"m just waving wildly"
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "Thieves' Cant?"
Vraklul goes right in the front door.
[slingergame] DM says, "There suddenly is the mating cry of the black-beaked honeysparrow."
Horst says, "Oh, that's the signal."
Horst heads on in.
Shaborys slips in behind the others, drawing her bow.
DM says, "Looks like a working casino to you guys."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Oh wait, back door. Not back room."
DM says, "The thugs with Davina seem to have slipped out the backdoor."
Shaborys slips back out and heads around the building.
DM says (to Sharbobys), "heh"
Shaborys asks, "Do I see anything?"
Quarion follows Shaborys from afar.
Vraklul looks around. Where are they?
DM says, "You know, to get this coordinated, let's roll INI"
Luthian moves around to the back of the building, having not moved from his post at the window. He draws his weapons, looking around.

[slingergame] Luthian says, "Nice. I'm an Assassin, sneaking around, and I have 1 initiative. There goes my alpha strike."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Wait, no special consequences? Just sneaking around"
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "Why did I even bother to roll a 17?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Yeah, this INI was mostly for convienience"
[slingergame] DM says, "Okay, we'll assume Horst follow Vraklul's leads"
DM advances the initiative: Quarion(17) Horst(14) VRAKLUL(13) Shaborys(12) Luthian(1)
Horst says, "Damnit, sorry. Yes I do that."
DM says (to horst), "It's okay."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "To guess which way they went, would that be a Perception check?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Sounds good,"
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 8 | 8 + 0 = 8
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "(I feel this is something Horst might have been better at...)"
[slingergame] DM exclaims (at Vraklul), "They have disappeared into thin air!"
[slingergame] DM asks, "So what do you do?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Horst, if you're here, you can roll as well"
Vraklul says (to Horst), "I'm going to go look outside."
Vraklul goes outside and follows where he last so Shaborys.
DM says, "Allrighty"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I am doing so entirely non-stealthily."
DM advances the initiative: Quarion(17) Horst(14) Vraklul(13) SHABORYS(12) Luthian(1)
Shaborys asks, "Do I see them outside?"
Horst rolls 1 20-sided die: 4 | 4 + 3 = 7
Horst is equally unperceptive.
DM says, "As you sneak around the corner of the house, you see them, leading Davina down into a dead alley behind the house"
Shaborys double dashes for 90 feet after them, breaking out of stealth mode.
(From DM) Davina says, "He had no sister, how odd!"
DM asks (of shaborys), "Can you still attack?"
Shaborys cannot. Or I can single dash and then attack.
Shaborys has a bow, afterall.
DM says, "If you double dash you're right next to them with no turn"
Shaborys says, "Let's do that. And I'll take 'em out next round."

[slingergame] DM says (to luthian), "First you need to move round the house"
DM says, "Okay, I need to step afk for a sec"

Quarion runs towards the thugs, steathily.
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 10 | 10 + 1 = 11
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "I rolled stealth. I hope that's correct."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I think 'runs' and 'stealthily' might be contradictory."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Sure, but it doesn't matter because STabby wasn't stealthy"

[slingergame] Quarion says, "(mine, not Horst's.)"

[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Given that I used as much movement as I could to follow Shab, how close am I now?"
[slingergame] DM asks, "But like, not under your control or anything?"
[slingergame] Horst says, "No they're not my puppets"
[slingergame] Horst says, "They're just magically convinced it'd be a really good idea"
[slingergame] DM says, "We'll say your movement brings you just around the edge of the house,s till 60 ft away"
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "Sort of a Jedi Mind Trick?"
[slingergame] DM says, "Like, your move action this turn"
[slingergame] Horst says, "yeah like that"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "OK. I rage, then move 30 feet, then throw a handaxe."

[slingergame] Luthian asks, "Can I sneak attack?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "He just said.."
[slingergame] DM says, "That'S what I meant by backstab, yeah"
[slingergame] Luthian says, "Oh."
[slingergame] Luthian makes a note.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Slinger is old school."
[slingergame] Luthian is still "in" school. :p

[slingergame] DM asks (of horst), "So, he just realizes he walked up to you for no good reason, right?"
[slingergame] Horst says, "Yeah he probably knows I cast a spell on him"
[slingergame] Horst says, "He's pretty worldly"

[Crows-Nest] Luthian says, "Anyone else having fun? :D"
Horst says, "Woah, hey guys. We're not here to bust up your place again. We're just getting our brain-damaged dragonperson friend and then we'll be on our way."
Horst says, "No need for anything expensive to get broken."

Shaborys grabs Davina and hugs her.
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Thugs and hugs."
[Crows-Nest] Luthian says, "Der Thuggenhuggen."
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Horst, get OUT."
Horst hollers, "OKAY."
(From DM) "Oh my! Did you see that? I set his hair on fire! I always tell my children not to use their breath weapons! Oh my god! Are you folks okay? You were like stab stab, and Vraklul like WHOOSH with his small axe and then BROOM with his greataxe, and and ... oh my"
DM asks (of horst), "So you run?"
Horst says, "yup"
Vraklul asks (of Davina), "I am so sorry! Are you alright?"
DM exclaims, "Hey come back here!"
DM says, "Hah, at least we have his Dragonborn friend! Who's the idiot now?""
DM says (to horst), "You make it out in the commotion."
(From Luthian) "I guess you could say that thug was.. hot to trot." Luthian offers, waggling his eyebrow in a comic way, before straightening up and resuming his professional cold/detached demeanor.
(From DM) Davina says, "Yes! They just roughed me up a bit and tried to scare me."
Quarion catches up with the others, Bloodfang panting after him.
Shaborys asks, "So, uh. I take it the sister does'nt exist, after all?"
(From DM) Davina says (a bit sterner), "i can't believe you bought that daughter story, though"
Shaborys says, "*I* didn'!"
Vraklul asks, "He was dying! Why would he lie while he was dying...?"
(From DM) Davina says, "Maybe he hoped you would save him?"
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Or maybe it was an obvious joke, but what do I know"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "I mean, I am sure that *you* were making a joke, but it happened IC, so."
Vraklul says, "Alas."
Quarion says, "Forgive us. Those of us who were such fools, that is."
[Crows-Nest] DM says, "Yeah, you ran with it. I hinted strongly not to run with it, but you pressed it so I assumed you guys wanted this."
Vraklul says, "I suppose we should get back to the inn before they realize you're free."
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "I wanted there to be a sister! I really wanted there to be a sister!"
(From DM) Davina says, "Yes, of course. But beer is NOT on tonight!"
DM says, "Y'all skedaddle before the guard arrives."
Vraklul says, "It's on me, then."
Horst says, "All's well that ends."
DM says, "You return to your inn. After 3 beers or so, Davina has calmed down."
Vraklul says, "I really do appreciate your help, even if it turned out to be a fool's errand."
DM says, "oh, it was very exciting."
(From DM) "So, you all are going to Myrehall next?"
Vraklul asks, "Say, you know the local area better than we do -- do you know if Myrehall is on the way to Wolfwater?"
Vraklul nods. "That's the plan."
Luthian glances to Vraklul, and then Quarion, and then settles his gaze on Davina, sipping at his drink with a practiced hand.
(From DM) "Not really. Myrehall is a few days east, while Wolfwater is a week or two south of here.
Vraklul says, "Then we may need to part ways with you."
(From DM) "Oh, I was thinking of accompanying you to Myrehall. I haven't been there, and maybe there's a market there for potions."
Vraklul asks, "Unless you'd like to come to Myrehall with us?"
Vraklul exclaims, "Ah, wonderful!"
Shaborys perks up a little.
(From DM) "And Sparks can take care of the kids for a while longer!"
(From DM) "I probably should send them a message tomorrow morning.
[slingergame] DM says, "How are we doing for time? I can maybe do about half an hour or so, but I'm really tired"
[slingergame] Horst says, "I'm not sure there's anything I want to do in half an hour, myself"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Aw, ok. I can do another half hour, or we can finish here if you need to."
[slingergame] Luthian says, "It's not even 2pm, and I just shotgunned an espresso, so I'm good."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "Another half hour, please?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I can keep going, but I'd like a give minute break, if that's OK."
[slingergame] DM says, "There is another encounter I'm looking forward to on the way to Myrehall which we can probably fit in."
[slingergame] DM says, "Okay, so let'S take a short break and everyone sound off when you'"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Ok!"
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "Awesome! ... Do I need to update my sheet or something, or are we doing that at the end?"
[slingergame] DM says, "are back"
[slingergame] DM says (to Luthian), "Er, you didn't level or anything"
[slingergame] Luthian says, "Just asking."
[slingergame] Shaborys is back.
[slingergame] DM says, "me too"
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I never left. *tadam*"
[slingergame] Horst says, "I felt a bit underwhelming today but hopefully I'll bring the noise next time."
[slingergame] DM says, "You better. Wouldn't want to replace you or anything."
[slingergame] Quarion says, "I only threw one firebolt. Welcome to the club. :P"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Back."
[slingergame] DM asks, "Okay, everyone's back?"
Vraklul asks, "So, did anyone else notice our 'friend' Rolan inside the casino?"
Vraklul shakes his head sadly.
[slingergame] DM asks, "Luthian?"
Shaborys says, "That bastard!"
[slingergame] Luthian says, "Back."
DM says, "You can see the Tallhyll Mountains loom far to the east as you leave the next morning. You travel the first two days through green meadows and sloping hills. There is little sign of civilization apart from the occasional cart or group of travellers, and, of course, roadsign. Three days later, one or two days before you reach Myrehall, you camp for the night in a lovely clearing in the forest."
Horst says, "He didn't try to kill me, so that's some progress."
Quarion enjoys the smell of the forest.
DM asks, "Do you set any guards?"
Vraklul does a bit of craft work while camping, braiding together some strips of leather and black, yellow and white beads together with the eagle feather he found a few days ago.
Shaborys will take first watch.
Vraklul will take second.
Luthian looks for a perch from which to keep an eye on the camp, keeping watch with Shabby and Vrak.
Horst trusts the dog.
Vraklul binds the fetish to the handle of his greataxe before settling down to sleep.
DM asks, "So, Luthian + Shabby, then Luthian * Horst, then Bloodfang?"
Quarion asks, "Can I climb a tree and rest in it?"
DM says, "Yes"
Quarion clambers nimbly into the branches of the nearest tree, and meditates.
DM says, "So, it is during Luthian & Vraklul's watch, it's already deep in the night, as you hear a strange sound overhead. It's like a slow rushing of wind. But it sounds like something large is moving above the trees."
Vraklul asks (of Luthian), "Do you hear that?"
Vraklul looks up at Quarion's tree.
Luthian asks, ".. I was just going to ask you. So, you hear it too?"
Vraklul says, "I do. I think it's more than just the wind."
Luthian begins scanning the area.
DM says, "Give me a perception check"
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 4 | 4 + 0 = 4
Luthian rolls 1 20-sided die: 14 | 14
DM asks (of Vraklul), "Now taht you think about it, maybe Horst farted?"
Vraklul shrugs.
DM says (to luthian), "You can hear the rushing sound, but not much else. And the sky is too dark to make anything out."
DM says, "The rushing does seem to get a little bit louder, though."
Vraklul says, "But no doubt if it were anything important, we'd be able to see it from here."
[Crows-Nest] Horst says, "It's probably just The Fireman tearing a portal into our dimension or something"
Vraklul says, "It's broad starlight out, after all."
[Crows-Nest] DM asks, "Oh damn, you guys know about Twin Peaks?"
(From Luthian) Something doesn't feel right to Luthian. "I don't know. Something feels.. off." He responds, preparing himself mentally and physically.
Vraklul asks, "Do you want to wake the others?"
(From Luthian) "You go. I'll keep watch." Luthian nods. Better safe than sorry.
Vraklul goes to the others, one by one, and tells them about Luthian's concern.
[Crows-Nest] Zach says, "oooh, cross over campaign"
DM says, "Okay, everyone who is awake can make a perception check"
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 1 | 1 + 5 = 6
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Whoops"
DM says (to Shaborys), "Maybe Horst farted"
Shaborys is groggy.
Horst rolls 1 20-sided die: 16 | 16 + 3 = 19
Horst says, "Hark hark"
DM says, "Bloodfang growls at the sky."
[Crows-Nest] Luthian says, "Horst KNOWS he farted."
Quarion wakes up.
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Oh, sure, Bloodfang can make *his* perception checks."
DM says, "Horst, you think you hear a faint voice on the wind. "...one down there? We are set adrift.""
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 2 | 2 + 2 = 4
DM says (to Quarion), "Man, Horst farted."
Horst says, "I hear something... someone... maybe someone is floating around up there? That doesn't make any sense."
Vraklul asks, "Someone who can fly?"
Vraklul says, "Let me see if I can get a better view..."
Shaborys sleepily says, "Maybe your eagle came back."
Horst says, "Float, anyway."
Vraklul picks out what looks like the highest tree and climbs up it.
[Crows-Nest] Shaborys says, "Sleepy Shabby thinks eagles talk. Or have wizards ridingon their backs."
DM says, "You climb up the tree. From up here, the view is much better. Make another Perception check, with advantage"
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 7 | 7 + 0 = 7
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 15 | 15 + 0 = 15
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "Woo Advantage!"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "(And fortunately I have Darkvision, of course.)"
[Crows-Nest] Luthian is probably the only one without Darkvision.
DM says, "You squint your eyes ... and there *is* something floating up there. Some cigar shaped sort of device, about the size of a small house."
(From Luthian) "Anything?" Luthian calls to Vraklul.
Vraklul says, "Yes, I see something... I don't think it's a bird, though."
Vraklul says, "It's just floating there. And it's huge -- the size of a house."
Vraklul shouts to the object, "HALLOOO UP THERE! CAN YOU HEAR ME?"
(From DM) A faint voice says "are drifitng off again ... nobody there ... winds brings us north
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "How far is it, and in what direction?"
[Crows-Nest] Horst says, "pa we got ghost riders in the forest again"
(From DM) "Yes! Yes? Hello?" (It's a woman's voice) "Kaze, there is somone down there. HELLO? YES, I CAN HEAR YOU"
Vraklul asks, "DO YOU NEED HELP?"
[slingergame] DM says, "It flows about 30-40 meters above you"
[slingergame] DM says, "98 foot"
[slingergame] DM says, "er feet"
(From DM) "YES! OUR NAVIGATION IS FRIED! CAN WE THROW YOU A ROPE AND YOU TRY AND ANCHOR US?"
Luthian figures two's better than one, so he begins making his way Vrak-ward, whilst keeping his eye on the camp.
Vraklul exclaims, "YES!"
(From DM) A kid's voice says, "LOOK OUT BELOW!" And sure enough, a rope falls from the sky and sort of trails in the middle of camp. But it's moving very quickly northwards with the wind.
Shaborys grabs the rope?
Vraklul grabs at it!
DM says (to vraklul), "Well, it's too far away from the tree."
Quarion asks, "Can I jump onto it?"
DM says, "Strength check from everyone who tries to grab it"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Even if I jump at it? OK."
DM says (to Quarion), "Sure. Athletics."
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 17 | 17 + 2 = 19
[slingergame] DM says (to Vraklul), "Also athletics."
Horst rolls 1 20-sided die: 19 | 19 + 2 = 21
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 2 | 2 + 5 = 7
Luthian rolls 1 20-sided die: 2 | 2 - 1 = 1
[slingergame] Quarion asks, "Athletics is DEX or CONST?"
[Crows-Nest] Horst says, "don't worry guys I got this"
[slingergame] DM says, "DEX"
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Should I look up the rules for falling damage?"
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 7 | 7 + 1 = 8
[slingergame] DM says, "I decree you take 1d6"
Vraklul rolls 1 6-sided die: 1 | 1
[slingergame] DM says (to Quarion), "As do you"
Vraklul says, "Oof."
[slingergame] Luthian asks, "That applies to me as well?"
Quarion rolls 1 6-sided die: 1 | 1
[slingergame] Quarion says, "The fall was cushioned by leaves."
[slingergame] DM says (to luthian), "Yes"
Luthian rolls 1 6-sided die: 4 | 4
[slingergame] Luthian says, ".. Ouchies."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Or possibly by Luthian."
DM says, "Stabby and Horst are lifted into the air a few feet, with some rest of rope trailing behind them"
Shaborys looks down. Whoops.
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, Luthian fell first and you guys fell on top of him"
Vraklul exclaims (at Shab and Horst), "Hold on tight!"
Vraklul regains his feet and chases after them.
DM says, "The three on the ground roll strength as well"
(From Luthian) "Geroffme!" Luthian grumps, wriggling, from beneath the sudden pile of bodies. He climbs to his feet, gingerly.
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 10 | 10 + 5 = 15
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Er, sorry, that should have been +3 - 13."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "If it's just Strength and not Athletics."
[slingergame] DM nods.
Luthian rolls 1 20-sided die: 8 | 8 - 1 = 7
[slingergame] Luthian is not strong. ;_;
[slingergame] DM asks, "Quarion?"
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "Can I try wrapping my legs around a tree as we pass? Acrobatics (preferred) or athletics, perhaps?"
[slingergame] DM says (to Shaborys), "One sec"
[slingergame] DM says, "Hm, Quarion takes a little longer to get up than expected. Shaborys, roll Acrobatics"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "It was bad enough splitting the party; now we're going to have to keep track of where Shabory's top half goes and where her bottom half ends up!"
[slingergame] Quarion says (to DM), "I am strong"
[slingergame] DM says, "Are you still holding on to the rope"
[slingergame] DM asks, "?"
Shaborys rolls 1 20-sided die: 17 | 17 + 5 = 22
[slingergame] DM says (to Quarion), "You still need to roll :-)"
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 6 | 6 + 1 = 7
[slingergame] Quarion says, "bah"
DM says, "The good news is, everyone has grabbed the rope. The bad news is, you're still lifted up quite a ways. While some of you have a nice view of the surrounded land, other are smacked in the face by tree branches"
[slingergame] DM asks (of Shaborys), "So, are you holding on to the rope while doing this?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Yes"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Trying to stabilize"
[slingergame] DM says, "So, everyone else can grab the tree with a check od Acrobatics or Athlethics, whichever you prefer"
Vraklul rolls 1 20-sided die: 16 | 16 + 5 = 21
Vraklul exclaims (at Shaborys), "Good idea!"
Horst rolls 1 20-sided die: 20 | 20 + 2 = 22
Quarion rolls 1 20-sided die: 5 | 5 + 1 = 6
Luthian rolls 1 20-sided die: 5 | 5 + 5 = 10
DM says, "3 of you grab hold of tree and rope. The airship still moves away and there is a terrible tug for a moment, the tree beeeeeeeeends -"
DM says, "- but then the airship slowly drifts back, the tree rights itself, and you manage to tie the rope to it."
Shaborys yay.
Vraklul exclaims (at Airship), "CAN YOU THROW DOWN ANOTHER ROPE? I DON'T KNOW IF ONE TREE WILL BE ENOUGH!"
(From DM) The kid's voice again, "GOOD IDEA! LOOK OUT BELOW!" And another rope comes down.
DM says, "You manage to tie the airship down."
Vraklul ties that one off too.
DM says, "The woman's voice comes again "Okay, we're coming down."
Luthian double-checks the rope's secured-ness. Can never be sure.
DM says, "She slides down the rope effortlessly, swing onto the tree and does a backflip of it and lands in your midst."
Vraklul says, "Are they going to shimmy down that rope? They must be a hundred feet up..."
Vraklul exclaims, "Well climbed!"
DM says, "She is a Tiefling in her 40s, with jet-black fur and a long and pretty nervously swishing tail. She wears a coat you recognise as a magic artifact called a coat of coolness. It billows incredibly picturesque when you do cool maneuvers, and even when it'S windstill, it seems to blow ever so slightly in a brezze."
Shaborys greets her.
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul says, "Ah, it must give a +2 to Charisma."
DM says, "On her shoulders she carries an asian-looking human boy in noble clothes. He waves at you nervously."
Luthian offers a professional salute in welcome.
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "She did the backflip with the kid on her shoulders?"
[slingergame] Luthian says, "Apparently, she /is/ /that/ good."
(From DM) "Hello, I am Maelis Maelstrom and this is Kazehaya
[slingergame] DM says, "Indeed she is."
Vraklul says, "Hey. Nice to meet you. I'm Vraklul Wellington."
[slingergame] DM says, "her middle name is Mary Sue for some reason."
Quarion says, "Greetings. I am Quarion Bobdyl'han."
(From Luthian) "Luthian De'Unnero," Luthian responds with a polite smile.
(From DM) She smiles warmly. "It is very nice to meet you all. Sorry if we caused you any trouble. The boy wonder here" - hair ruffling - "gets carried away some times."
Vraklul asks, "How did you two get up on that... flying... craft?"
(From DM) Kazehaya protest, "It's not my fault that the rudder froze when we tried to cross the mountains. Well, I guess I could have ..."
Shaborys says, "Oh, it's no trouble at all, Ma'am." Except that she uses the infernal version of Ma'am.
Vraklul does a little jig.
Shaborys is suddenly all politeness.
(From DM) Maelis grins at Sharobys and says something in Infernal.
Shaborys nods and smiles.
(From DM) Kazehaya jumps off her back and stands before Vraklul, then he bows to all you. "To answer your question: I'm a great inventor, and this is the first airship that will cross the Tallhyll Mountains!" Maelis coughs. "Eventually."
Luthian ponders Shab, Maelis, and Kaze for a moment, before shaking his head, and returning to general surveillance. Guard duty. That sort of thing.
Shaborys kneels down to the child and claps her hands together. "Wonderful!"
Vraklul asks (of Maelis), "What is that thing you were flying on? Some kind of magical craft?"
DM says, "It works on a mixture of science and magic."
(From DM) Kazehaya says, "I could explain it but people usually just get bored!"
Vraklul says, "Oh, I doubt I'd understand it anyway."
Vraklul says, "I've never done very much with magic *or* science."
DM says, ""Don't feel bad! Everyone has their talent! I'm sure you're good at" -quizzical look - "chopping trees?""
Shaborys snorts laughter.
Vraklul nods. "I *am* pretty good at chopping trees. It's true."
DM says, "Kazehaya blushes. "Did I say something wrong?""
Quarion says, "Not at all."
Vraklul asks, "It sounds like your... sciencey-magic boat wasn't quite going where you wanted it to? Is there anything we can do to help you get it back on track?"
Luthian smirks, and continues to maintain his silence, eyes scanning the area for threats, or other signs of activity.
(From DM) Maelis says, "Oh, thank you, no. I'll check if it's really tethered correctly and then we'll make our way to Wolfwater and talk to the people at the Magic School."
Vraklul says, "Alright. We're headed toward Myrehall, ourselves. If you decide you want to travel by that way, you're welcome to join us."
DM says, "Kazehaya pulls on Maelis leg and they whisper to each other for a second."
(From DM) Maelis says, "I'm afraid Wolfwater is quite the other way. But if you ever find yourself there, you should come and looks us up at the magic school."
Vraklul asks, "Sure, why not?"
Quarion says, "With pleasure, I'm sure."
Shaborys says, "I do believe we'll be passing by that way in the future. I look forward to seeing you again."
(From DM) She claps her hand. "Great! Maybe we can spend the night at your camp? We have some Wolfwine and Wolfcheese in the ship."
Vraklul exclaims, "Please do!"
DM says, "Why the wolfmen from Wolfwater need to call everything wolf, I have no idea.""
Shaborys says, "It'll be our pleasure."
(From DM) Maelis says, "Lovely! I'll be right back."
DM says, "She jumps onto a branch, jumps at the rope, and clambers up it in seconds."
DM says, "Kazehaya asks, "And what are you doing here?""
Vraklul exclaims, "We're travelling to Myrehall!"
Luthian continues to observe the surroundings, wondering if there's something coming this way. Something doesn't feel right. Or perhaps he's just hungry, again.
DM asks, "Oh, the gnome city! Did they open it again?"
Vraklul asks, "...is it closed?"
DM says, "Oh, haven't you heard? They locked it down two weeks ago. There was a mass outbreak at the MIMI.""
Shaborys starts to swear and then catches herself.
Vraklul asks, "I hadn't heard. What's a MIMI?"
(From DM) Maelis slides down the rope with a picnic basket.
(From DM) She hands some delicious looking bread and cheese to Luthian. "You look hungry, kiddo"
DM says, "Kazehaya says, "Oh, you're funny! Not a MIMI, *the* MIMI! The Myrehall Institute for the magically Insane.""
Luthian smiles, graciously accepting the food with a few choice words of thanks and humble acceptance.
Vraklul says, "Oh, that's interesting. We're *looking* for somebody who might be magically insane."
DM says, "Kazehaya says, "Oh, that seems like a connection to me. And I should know, I'm a boy genius!""
Vraklul asks, "Oh yeah?"
(From DM) Maelis shares her food all around.
Shaborys accepts food graciously.
(From DM) "Yes, this whole airship was my idea! I wrote the blueprints and everything! And my father helped me build it."
[slingergame] Shaborys asks, "What's *our* food situation? Do we have anything to share?"
Quarion thanks Maelis wholeheartedly. 'This is delicious.'
[slingergame] DM says, "You have travel rations or something similiar."
Vraklul says, "Nice work, kiddo. Just need to work on the steering a bit."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion says, "Dwarf bread, presumably."
(From DM) Maelis smiles warmly. "Thank you!"
(From DM) Kazehaya smiles warmly. "Thank you!"
[slingergame] Luthian says, "I have a waterskin, a day's rations, and a mess kit. Whee."
[slingergame] DM says, "I won't worry about rations, or arrows or stuff like that, as long as you don't abuse it."
[slingergame] Luthian noddles.
(From DM) Kazehaya yawns. "Well, I'm knackered and I'd like to turn in. You guys can talk about grown-up stuff."
Shaborys says, "G'night, kiddo."
Vraklul asks, "Hey, if you're a genius about magic and science gadgets, have you ever heard of a device that someone might use to suck someone's life out through their neck?"
Vraklul says, "Oh, alright."
(From DM) He rolls into a blanket with fluffy bugbears on it and starts sucking on his thumb.
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Yeah, I figured. I just thought it'd be polite."
(From DM) Maelis says, "Uh. *describes thing Mysterious Gnome Woman used*?"
Shaborys says, "Yes!"
(From DM) MAelis says something in Infernal.
[slingergame] Shaborys imagines KoL bugbears, which are super cute.
DM says (to Sharobys), "You're not sure that the horse would care for that, and you'd need a lot of buckets."
[slingergame] DM exclaims, "Exactly!"
(From DM) Maelis grabs her tail and begins to nibble on the tip nervously.
(From DM) "Where have you seen suhc a thing? And what have you done with it?"
Shaborys asks, "We don't intend to use such a device, ma'am. We saw one in use. It killed a friend of a... friend?"
Shaborys says, "A lady we were sent to rescue. She died right in front of us."
DM asks, "And was it used on a willing or an unwilling victim?"
Shaborys says, "Unwilling, I believe."
Vraklul says, "That's why we're headed for the gnome city. We think the person who used it might have been from MIMI."
DM asks, "oh no, what have you babies stumbled into?"
Vraklul asks, "Maybe you can tell us?"
[Crows-Nest] Vraklul exclaims, "Hey, we're not babies. We're level 3. That's at *least* toddlers!"
DM says, "Well, if it really looked like this, it's what called an Extractor. And it's usally used in ... contracts ... of a fiendish nature."
[Crows-Nest] Luthian would say more, but.. y'all have it covered. XD
DM says, "To extract somone's essence."
[Crows-Nest] Luthian says, "Just letting folks know."
[Crows-Nest] DM nods.
Vraklul asks, "Does that mean... it might be possible to get her 'essence' back?"
(From DM) Maelis shakes her head. "No, I'm sorry, your friend of a friend is gone. But I shudder what everyone would do with it."
Shaborys pulls out the medallion. "Does this mean anything to you? It seems to be a key of some sort?"
(From DM) Maelis takes a peek. "Looks like a dwarven medallion from Balathsar, the thrice-slain king. Didn't he fight Duergar?"
Shaborys says, "Yeah. That's about all we know." She pockets it again. "We found it in the lady's apartment. Hoping it will help us in our quest."
[Crows-Nest] Genevieve says, "Sounds like you're all doing fine to me. I probably would've gotten myself killed by now."
DM says, "I hope you know what you are getting into. Dealing with demons or devils is a frightful business."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Should I wait until after the session to share my OOC thoughts?"
(From DM) Maelis says, "But I'm tired now, too -all that climbing - maybe we should all turn in and look at things afresh in the morning."
[slingergame] DM says, "Yeah, we'll wrap it up here."
Quarion yawns. 'Excellent idea.'
Vraklul says, "Yeah, good call."
Shaborys asks, "Sounds good. Who is taking the next watch?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Ok"
Vraklul says, "I think my watch is just wrapping up."
(From DM) Bloodfang barks!
Luthian settles in at his post for an eyes-open nap, of sorts. He'll take the next watch with whomever.
Shaborys says, "Luthian, we need you to get some sleep."
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "Isn't Luthian an elf?"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "oh"
[slingergame] Shaborys says, "Fine"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Heh."
(From DM) Maelis lies next to Kazehaya and puts an arm around him protectively.
(From Luthian) "I'll sleep when I'm dead," Luthian shrugs. "But if you insist." He hops down, and settles in for a proper rest.
(From DM) Bloodfang sits watch.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So, assuming that wraps it up..."
[slingergame] DM asks, "Yeah, unless anyone still has questions or something?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Here are several bits of information we have:"
Quarion meditates upon his destiny.
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "* Balthasar, multiple times, was able to return to continue fighting after apparently being killed. While this could just be legendary coolness, it could also be something more literal."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "* A mysterious cataclysm later befell Balthasar's kingdom, involving most people there dying or going insane."
[Crows-Nest] Quarion asks, "He made a deal with the Devil?"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "* Later on, his daughter was abducted by someone who used a device on her that's usually associated with fiendish contracts."
[slingergame] Horst says, "dang soulmongerers"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So, yeah, I'm thinking that Balthasar may have made some kind of pact with something deeply evil, and they came for Tazlynn's soul as a part of the fulfillment of that bargain."
[slingergame] Quarion exclaims (at Vraklul), "You're the half-orc Sherlock Holmes. you even have the pipe!"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Oh, IC, I barely have the slightest inkling of any of this."
[slingergame] DM says, "heh"
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "So feel free to figure it out IC and take the credit next time :)"
[slingergame] DM says, "heh to that last comment or the whole theory? WHO KNOWS"
[slingergame] Luthian has had so much fun thus far. Knows folks only have so much time per day to do things, but... omg this is fun. XD
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I wonder if our mad gnome lady is going to turn out to be a high level warlock."
[slingergame] Luthian says, "Would be interesting if we ended up having to kill her, and loot her body, or something."
[slingergame] Genevieve says, "You deserve to have a good time, Luthian. I'm glad it's been good for you."
[slingergame] Luthian shrugs.
[slingergame] Vraklul asks, "So we're off next week, and then we're playing on Sunday the 24th?"
[slingergame] DM says, "That is correct."
[slingergame] DM says, "I hope you had fun."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Cool."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "I did."
[slingergame] Vraklul says, "Even if I did lead everyone into a wild goose chase."
[slingergame] DM says, "This was the bit the plot for today was supposed to start with. :-)"
[slingergame] Luthian says, "Just letting folks know, Sundays are wonky for me. Unless otherwise stated, I have RL stuffses on Sunday nights."
[slingergame] Luthian usually heads out around 5ish, gets home between 10:30-11pm.
[slingergame] DM says, "Oh no."
[slingergame] DM asks, "Well, at which time is our session for you?"
[slingergame] Luthian says, "Starts 11am, my time, unless I'm miscounting."
[slingergame] Luthian says, "I just wanted to let folks know, if it does run long, I'll need to bow out."
[slingergame] genericgeekgirl says, "Should be fine. I doubt we'd run that long."
[slingergame] Hunter nodnods.
[slingergame] Quarion says, "If the worst comes to the worst, we can have Luthian on autopilot, striking a cool pose all the time and brooding silently but ironically."
[slingergame] genericgeekgirl says, "Hehe"
[slingergame] Hunter says, "Hah, yeah."
[slingergame] DM says, "Snrk"
[slingergame] Hunter says, "Or eating a sandwich while people are getting stabbed or maimed around him."
