[2/7/2014 6:33:15 PM] Nation: It's morning on Naaaaaaaaation. No gifts this morning. Nation is a cheapskate.

[2/7/2014 6:34:01 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) is performing morning prayers in her room.

[2/7/2014 6:34:11 PM] Kalor: Kalor heads to the kitchen to make food after preparing his spells

[2/7/2014 6:34:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) works on her longbow ((18.))

[2/7/2014 6:34:21 PM | Removed 6:34:44 PM] Nilani: This message has been removed.

[2/7/2014 6:34:34 PM] Nation: Nation has sealed off the bubble.

[2/7/2014 6:34:39 PM] Kestrel: Tarak eyes Kalor. "Mornin'."

[2/7/2014 6:34:40 PM] Nation: Because of fire.

[2/7/2014 6:34:56 PM] Kalor: Good morning Tarak.

[2/7/2014 6:35:09 PM] Janis: Janis enters the galley

[2/7/2014 6:35:17 PM] Kalor: It is a wonderful day today, full of opportunity!

[2/7/2014 6:35:19 PM] Nation: Gnarmak pads into the galley.

[2/7/2014 6:35:22 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) prays in his cozy sweater, then puts on his armor and goes to see what's happening.

[2/7/2014 6:35:26 PM] Janis: Janis is rubbing her eyes and yawning

[2/7/2014 6:35:30 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) enters with a bit of a smile.

[2/7/2014 6:35:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) finishes preparing her spells and grabs her gear as she exits her room.

[2/7/2014 6:35:49 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Good morning, Larry, everyone.

[2/7/2014 6:35:57 PM] Kalor: Good morning Larry, Ser Knight.

[2/7/2014 6:35:58 PM] Kestrel: Tarak: Yeah, opportunity. Right.

[2/7/2014 6:36:11 PM] Nilani: Nilani shambles into the galley, finds a spot, and sits down.

[2/7/2014 6:36:11 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): What's wrong, Tarak? Hung over?

[2/7/2014 6:36:24 PM] Kestrel: Tarak: Got it in one, sunshine.

[2/7/2014 6:36:42 PM] Nation: Gnarmak pours some coffee and begins lapping it up from his cup.

[2/7/2014 6:36:45 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) chuckles.

[2/7/2014 6:36:49 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) dashes back to her room!

[2/7/2014 6:37:11 PM] Kalor: Isn't there a spell that cures hangovers?

[2/7/2014 6:37:36 PM] Kestrel: Tarak: Nope.

[2/7/2014 6:37:45 PM] Kestrel: Tarak: You'd think wizards'd fix that.

[2/7/2014 6:37:59 PM] Janis: I don't think wizards drink that much.

[2/7/2014 6:38:05 PM] Janis: I've never seen a drunk wizard.

[2/7/2014 6:38:12 PM] Kalor: I could have sworn the clergy had access to a prayer that cleanses the body of all toxins.

[2/7/2014 6:38:18 PM] Wynn (unarmored): That's because they're too smart to start.

[2/7/2014 6:38:20 PM] Kestrel: Tarak: How many wizards you know?

[2/7/2014 6:38:30 PM] Kalor: You just missed it on the first day, I assure you.

[2/7/2014 6:38:33 PM] Janis: ......two

[2/7/2014 6:38:38 PM] Janis: ...I think...

[2/7/2014 6:38:43 PM] Kestrel: Tarak: Pretty small sample size, kid.

[2/7/2014 6:39:12 PM] Janis: Janis groans at being called "kid" again

[2/7/2014 6:39:13 PM] Kalor: And there is a very effective spell for increasing one's tolerance.

[2/7/2014 6:39:32 PM] Kalor: Wizards usually employ that prior to imbibing.

[2/7/2014 6:39:54 PM] Kestrel: Tarak shrugs. "Prob'ly not necessary."

[2/7/2014 6:39:54 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Purify drink?

[2/7/2014 6:40:30 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) obtains some hot beverage, and begins sipping it.

[2/7/2014 6:40:34 PM] Nation: Gnarmak:  That would be dangerous and very unpleasant. Removing the toxins from one's system would not cure a dependancy.

[2/7/2014 6:40:52 PM] Nation: Gnarmak laps at his coffee. It's faintly adorable.

[2/7/2014 6:40:54 PM] Kalor: Probably not, however it does have the benefit of improving liver functionality. Something you seem to be sorely in need of at the moment.

[2/7/2014 6:41:25 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) is lost in thought, staring at a point somewhere behind Tarak.

[2/7/2014 6:41:28 PM] Kestrel: Tarak: I'm fine, fish-man.

[2/7/2014 6:41:41 PM] Kalor: If you say so

[2/7/2014 6:41:55 PM] Kestrel: Tarak: Mind your own beeswax.

[2/7/2014 6:42:13 PM] Janis: ...what's for breakfast?

[2/7/2014 6:42:42 PM] Kestrel: Tarak: Coffee bread.

[2/7/2014 6:43:07 PM] Kalor: I made some gruel, and there's stew left over. Also this stack of pancakes.

[2/7/2014 6:43:09 PM] Kestrel: Tarak: Put the rest of it in the chiller when it was done. Feel free.

[2/7/2014 6:43:27 PM] Kestrel: Tarak: Be back later.

[2/7/2014 6:43:34 PM] Kestrel: He departs.

[2/7/2014 6:43:37 PM] Kalor: Don't ask where I got the eggs...

[2/7/2014 6:43:44 PM] Nation: There may or may not still be some of Jhett's tarts, as well.

[2/7/2014 6:44:08 PM] Janis: Janis grabs some of the pancakes

[2/7/2014 6:44:18 PM] Janis: Can we heat them up again?

[2/7/2014 6:44:59 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) queues up for a plate of delicious breakfast, of whatever variety.

[2/7/2014 6:45:13 PM] Kalor: Go ahead, they are hot enough for me already however.

[2/7/2014 6:45:26 PM] Kalor: Kalor grabs a plate of pancakes and starts eating

[2/7/2014 6:46:04 PM] Nation: Gnarmak:  I do believe Talas sent a basket or two of provisions yesterday as well.

[2/7/2014 6:46:21 PM] Janis: Janis digs into some of the pancakes

[2/7/2014 6:46:44 PM | Edited 6:46:57 PM] Nilani: Nilani nods at Gnarmak's statement, nibbling on a piece of fruit.

[2/7/2014 6:46:59 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) also chows down on some pancakes, etc.

[2/7/2014 6:49:29 PM] Nation: Gnarmak finds a fish from the basket and starts gnawing on it.

[2/7/2014 6:49:57 PM] Nation: Gnarmak is polite though, and turns his back to do so.

[2/7/2014 6:50:02 PM] Janis: Nation, is it safe to explore your new deck yet?

[2/7/2014 6:50:09 PM] Janis: See if we can find your bridge?

[2/7/2014 6:50:23 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel peeks in, and then steps in, quietly.

[2/7/2014 6:50:40 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel does that. Sorry. >.<

[2/7/2014 6:50:41 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Good morning, friend Kestrel.

[2/7/2014 6:50:58 PM] Nilani: Nilani smiles warmly and waves at Kestrel.

[2/7/2014 6:51:12 PM | Edited 6:51:20 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel nods, and starts making tea.

[2/7/2014 6:51:30 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) blinks a couple times.

[2/7/2014 6:51:36 PM] Kalor: Good morning Kes.

[2/7/2014 6:52:01 PM] Nation: Nation's Voice:  I don't have a new deck. Still the same number.

[2/7/2014 6:52:11 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) stands to get some food.

[2/7/2014 6:52:23 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Hello, Kestrel. Sleep in today?

[2/7/2014 6:52:31 PM] Kestrel: No.

[2/7/2014 6:53:30 PM] Janis: Wait, then where were we going to look for your bridge?

[2/7/2014 6:54:20 PM] Nation: Nation's Voice:  The top deck. But it will involve you going into the compression field, which will lead to very... unpredictable effects.

[2/7/2014 6:54:31 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Compression field?

[2/7/2014 6:55:15 PM] Nation: Nation's Voice:  The process by which I can fit so many rooms into a small space.

[2/7/2014 6:55:39 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Ah, I see.

[2/7/2014 6:56:06 PM] Janis: So, we can't go in there yet.

[2/7/2014 6:56:14 PM] Janis: Why couldn't you just say that? Sheesh.

[2/7/2014 6:56:32 PM] Nation: NAtion's Voice:  ... it takes less time to say 'compression field'.

[2/7/2014 6:57:02 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel pours herself up a cup of tea when it's ready, and takes a sip, avoiding touching the pot or getting close to any other food afterward.

[2/7/2014 6:59:41 PM] Nilani: Nilani is flipping through a small book, reading a few words then grimacing and turning the page. Occasionally the grimace is accompanied by a quiet "pthbbt".

[2/7/2014 6:59:57 PM] Janis: ...what'cha reading?

[2/7/2014 7:00:00 PM] Nation: Gnarmak sniffs at the air.

[2/7/2014 7:00:38 PM] Nilani: A dwarven-common dictionary.

[2/7/2014 7:00:57 PM] Janis: In case the ghost comes back?

[2/7/2014 7:01:02 PM] Nilani: Nilani nods

[2/7/2014 7:01:10 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Gnarmak? Do you smell something odd?

[2/7/2014 7:01:30 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel reddens.

[2/7/2014 7:02:05 PM] Nation: Gnarmak:  Yes. An unfamiliar scent.

[2/7/2014 7:02:31 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) snaps out of her daze and looks at Gnarmak.

[2/7/2014 7:02:36 PM] Nilani: Nilani closes the book and sets it down, gad for a distraction.

[2/7/2014 7:02:37 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Hmm. I wonder if another pod opened?

[2/7/2014 7:03:24 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Nation, do we have more visitors?

[2/7/2014 7:03:46 PM] Nation: He sniffs again. "I don't know if it's a pod or not.  Just that I smell something unfamiliar."

[2/7/2014 7:04:03 PM] Nation: Nation's Voice:  Not that I can tell, but I have no eyes in that room.

[2/7/2014 7:04:19 PM] Kestrel: ... perhaps we should investigate.

[2/7/2014 7:04:21 PM] Janis: Any idea where it's coming from?

[2/7/2014 7:04:25 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) sighs. "I'll be right back."

[2/7/2014 7:04:34 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I think that a wise idea, friend Kestrel.

[2/7/2014 7:04:36 PM] Nilani: Nilani unsheathes a rapier and leans it against the table, just in case.

[2/7/2014 7:04:38 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) gets up and leaves.

[2/7/2014 7:04:51 PM] Kalor: I wish I had a spell that let me keep that room under surveilance

[2/7/2014 7:06:02 PM] Janis: ...what's with her?

[2/7/2014 7:06:10 PM] Kestrel: Likely fetching armor.

[2/7/2014 7:06:14 PM] Janis: .......oh...

[2/7/2014 7:06:28 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): That's what I assumed as well.

[2/7/2014 7:06:43 PM] Janis: You think the smelly thing might attack us?

[2/7/2014 7:06:52 PM] Nilani: Nilani shrugs

[2/7/2014 7:07:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Never know. There was that foul undead creature.

[2/7/2014 7:07:21 PM] Kestrel: Things often do.

[2/7/2014 7:07:31 PM] Janis: Not really.

[2/7/2014 7:07:33 PM] Nation: Nation's Voice:  Um. Go check on Wynn.

[2/7/2014 7:07:44 PM] Janis: There was the vampire, but most other things on this ship turn out to be nice.

[2/7/2014 7:07:52 PM] Janis: ...then again.

[2/7/2014 7:07:53 PM] Kalor: Why? What has happened?

[2/7/2014 7:07:59 PM] Janis: Janis runs off to Wynn's room

[2/7/2014 7:08:02 PM] Nation: Nation's Voice:  She fell over in the hallway.

[2/7/2014 7:08:05 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) foots it to Wynn's room on the double, unsheathing his mace in the process.

[2/7/2014 7:08:17 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel follows Janis.

[2/7/2014 7:08:17 PM] Nation: You find Wynn in the hallway halfway to to the rooms, unconscious.

[2/7/2014 7:08:19 PM] Nilani: Nilani gets up, grabs her rapier, and strides outside.

[2/7/2014 7:08:22 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Friend Wynn? Are you okay?

[2/7/2014 7:08:30 PM] Kalor: Kalor runs out of the room and goes to the others

[2/7/2014 7:08:31 PM | Edited 7:08:36 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Heal check to see what happened.))

[2/7/2014 7:08:56 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((21))

[2/7/2014 7:10:10 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): She appears to have been drugged. There's a needle in her neck.

[2/7/2014 7:10:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Or something like a needle. It appears organic.

[2/7/2014 7:10:24 PM] Kestrel: ... it was not me.

[2/7/2014 7:10:35 PM] Nilani: Nilani nods

[2/7/2014 7:10:36 PM] Janis: Janis takes a look at the needle

[2/7/2014 7:10:42 PM] Janis: ((K:N?))

[2/7/2014 7:10:59 PM] Nation: Sure.

[2/7/2014 7:11:04 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): We wouldn't suspect you, friend Kes. You were with us the whole time. Besides, that wouldn't make sense whatsoever.

[2/7/2014 7:11:27 PM] Janis: ((10, herp derp))

[2/7/2014 7:11:48 PM] Kalor: It looks like some form or organically grown stinger or dart. We should probably be careful, as who or whatever used it may still dwell nearby.

[2/7/2014 7:11:51 PM] Kestrel: ... drow knockout poison.

[2/7/2014 7:12:09 PM] Nilani: Nilani 's face whitens

[2/7/2014 7:12:27 PM] Kalor: Kalor casts mage armor

[2/7/2014 7:12:36 PM] Kestrel: That is a good thing; there are few side effects and no permanent damage.

[2/7/2014 7:12:40 PM | Edited 7:12:52 PM] Janis: ...how would a drow get on board without Nation knowing?

[2/7/2014 7:13:01 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Friend Kes, I assume your time at the Academy taught you something of poisons. How would we go about counteracting it?

[2/7/2014 7:13:28 PM] Kestrel: Typically one simply waits until they awaken naturally.

[2/7/2014 7:14:16 PM] Nation: Nope, no tracks.

[2/7/2014 7:14:17 PM] Kalor: ((Knowledge: Dungeoneering, I try to recall anything I know about drow and their use of poison in particular))

[2/7/2014 7:14:25 PM] Nilani: I got a tin of smelling salts back in Necropolis. Would that help?

[2/7/2014 7:14:55 PM] Janis: ...there're no tracks or signs of a struggle, so she was probably caught off guard somehow

[2/7/2014 7:15:02 PM] Kestrel: Uncertain.

[2/7/2014 7:15:09 PM] Kalor: ((25))

[2/7/2014 7:15:45 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Very well.

[2/7/2014 7:15:48 PM] Nation: You pretty much confirm what Kes knows. Drow like poisons, and they use this one to take captives with minimal fuss or damage.

[2/7/2014 7:15:49 PM] Nilani: Nilani keeps watch on the group's rear.

[2/7/2014 7:16:12 PM] Kalor: ((Also that they use pistol crossbows, I guess))

[2/7/2014 7:16:13 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel removes the dart and pockets it.

[2/7/2014 7:16:20 PM | Edited 7:16:30 PM] Janis: Do drow have natural stingers?

[2/7/2014 7:16:30 PM] Kestrel: No.

[2/7/2014 7:16:35 PM] Kalor: This was likely delivered using a pistol crossbow.

[2/7/2014 7:16:36 PM] Kestrel: Drow are elves.

[2/7/2014 7:16:40 PM | Edited 7:16:45 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) leaves her room again, this time sans unfinished longbow, with her usual shortbow and quiver, and meets up with the group with a worried expression. "What's wrong?"

[2/7/2014 7:16:59 PM] Janis: Janis to Kalor "You said it looked like a natural stinger from a creature"

[2/7/2014 7:17:00 PM] Kalor: A small handheld weapon that can be concealed easily and fired from under a robe for example

[2/7/2014 7:17:16 PM] Janis: Do any creatures like that have this kind of poison naturally?

[2/7/2014 7:17:19 PM] Kestrel: ... I would demonstrate, but it does not seem politick to do so.

[2/7/2014 7:17:22 PM] Kalor: No, I said it looked like an organically crafted dart or stinger.

[2/7/2014 7:17:23 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) opens her eyes then shuts them again.

[2/7/2014 7:17:31 PM] Wynn (unarmored): I have *got* to stop doing this.

[2/7/2014 7:17:32 PM] Nilani: Wynn!

[2/7/2014 7:17:36 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): (To Lira) Friend Wynn has been rendered unconscious by a Drow knockout poison.

[2/7/2014 7:17:37 PM] Wynn (unarmored): What's wrong with Nation this time?

[2/7/2014 7:18:01 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry and then at Wynn, confusion clear. "....Nothing is wrong with Nation."

[2/7/2014 7:18:02 PM] Wynn (unarmored): I was *what*?

[2/7/2014 7:18:07 PM] Nilani: Nilani tries to help Wynn up

[2/7/2014 7:18:17 PM | Edited 7:18:29 PM] Janis: You got shot.

[2/7/2014 7:18:19 PM] Kestrel: Shot.

[2/7/2014 7:18:20 PM] Kalor: You were shot, Ser Knight.

[2/7/2014 7:18:26 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) accepts the help and gets up.

[2/7/2014 7:18:38 PM] Wynn (unarmored): ....shot.

[2/7/2014 7:18:44 PM] Wynn (unarmored): By who?

[2/7/2014 7:18:50 PM] Janis: Did you see anything before you collapsed?

[2/7/2014 7:18:51 PM] Kestrel: Not me.

[2/7/2014 7:18:57 PM] Wynn (unarmored): No.

[2/7/2014 7:19:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): That is the 64000 gold question, friend Wynn.

[2/7/2014 7:19:02 PM] Kestrel: Unknown assailant.

[2/7/2014 7:19:06 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): I just arrived.

[2/7/2014 7:19:20 PM] Wynn (unarmored): And you're all standing here staring at me instead of looking for the culprit? Or warning the others?

[2/7/2014 7:19:22 PM] Nilani: I left mine back in my room.

[2/7/2014 7:19:56 PM] Kalor: Which is why I am currently wearing my magic as armor. If you have any defensive spells prepared with a long duration, it might be prudent to cast them now, to ward of similar attacks.

[2/7/2014 7:20:14 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) runs back to the galley to check on Gnarmak.

[2/7/2014 7:20:24 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Someone go with him.

[2/7/2014 7:20:29 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) follows after Larry!

[2/7/2014 7:20:31 PM] Wynn (unarmored): I'm going to get my armor on.

[2/7/2014 7:20:52 PM] Wynn (unarmored): Wynn (unarmored) continues to her room.

[2/7/2014 7:21:23 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel goes with Wynn.

[2/7/2014 7:21:31 PM] Nation: Wynn is unharried this time. I assume the rest of you stick together?

[2/7/2014 7:21:37 PM] Janis: Janis continues to investigate the crime scene for clues

[2/7/2014 7:21:46 PM] Kalor: Yes

[2/7/2014 7:22:07 PM | Edited 7:22:12 PM] Nilani: Nilani keeps watch on the left section of hallway.

[2/7/2014 7:22:24 PM] Janis: ((So, it's me Kalor and Nilani here, Larry and Lira in the galley, and Wynn with Kes?))

[2/7/2014 7:23:54 PM] Janis: ((16 search of the hallway to find any trace of anything))

[2/7/2014 7:24:08 PM] Nation: Nothing. Roll notice, the two of you that are here.

[2/7/2014 7:24:43 PM] Janis: ((12 :)

[2/7/2014 7:24:56 PM] Nilani: (( 20 ))

[2/7/2014 7:25:10 PM] Janis: ((I am clearly too distracted by my search))

[2/7/2014 7:25:36 PM] Kalor: (( 6))

[2/7/2014 7:27:36 PM] Nilani: Nilani waves to get your attention

[2/7/2014 7:27:48 PM] Kalor: What have you found?

[2/7/2014 7:27:58 PM] Janis: Nothing.

[2/7/2014 7:28:02 PM] Janis: Absolutely nothing

[2/7/2014 7:28:06 PM] Janis: Janis hasn't looked up

[2/7/2014 7:28:34 PM] Nation: Larry and Lira return with Gnarmak in tow.

[2/7/2014 7:29:06 PM] Nilani: Nilani looks very agitated and motions for everyone to be quiet.

[2/7/2014 7:45:29 PM] Kalor: Unless you give us reason to

[2/7/2014 7:45:36 PM] Wynn: ..... not helping.

[2/7/2014 7:45:46 PM] Nation: The figure ran out of view again.

[2/7/2014 7:46:12 PM] Nilani: ((was it a guy scream or a girl scream?))

[2/7/2014 7:46:18 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel adds, in Undercommon: Are you in pain? We may be able to assist.

[2/7/2014 7:46:20 PM] Nation: High-pitched, you couldn't tell.

[2/7/2014 7:47:46 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) is a more than a little baffled and looks at Nilani questioningly.

[2/7/2014 7:47:52 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ...

[2/7/2014 7:48:15 PM] Wynn: Wynn calls out again. "We aren't kidnappers. If you just woke up from the pods, we can explain."

[2/7/2014 7:48:20 PM] Nation: No response.

[2/7/2014 7:49:45 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) starts moving carefully towards the person's assumed location as well.

[2/7/2014 7:50:08 PM] Kalor: If it is a drow I have the perfect remedy for this situatuion. However, if it is a drow you want to have intelligent converstaion with anytime soon, it may not be the best solution.

[2/7/2014 7:50:13 PM | Edited 7:50:31 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) stays with Gnarmak, keeping an eye out for him!

[2/7/2014 7:50:34 PM] Wynn: Can you speak?

[2/7/2014 7:51:37 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel looks away, hands over her mouth.

[2/7/2014 7:51:38 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Pelor's light!

[2/7/2014 7:52:52 PM] Kalor: I had some compuncture about using my full power before, but now you should probably take her offer, before I send you screaming to the ground.

[2/7/2014 7:53:04 PM] Wynn: One.

[2/7/2014 7:53:11 PM] Janis: ((25 track))

[2/7/2014 7:53:14 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel shudders.

[2/7/2014 7:53:16 PM] Kalor: Kalor turns to Wynn

[2/7/2014 7:53:30 PM] Kalor: "Non-lethal" does not mean "Pleasant"

[2/7/2014 7:54:06 PM] Kalor: Kalor and his twin looks to both sides

[2/7/2014 7:54:14 PM] Janis: Look at how blood is surrounding this body.

[2/7/2014 7:54:14 PM] Kalor: As I said, bait.

[2/7/2014 7:54:15 PM] Kestrel: ... I would prefer not.

[2/7/2014 7:54:20 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): What of it?

[2/7/2014 7:54:27 PM] Janis: But there's no trail.

[2/7/2014 7:54:30 PM] Kalor: We are exaclty where this assailant wants us

[2/7/2014 7:54:36 PM] Kestrel: Kestrel is a little bit green in the face.

[2/7/2014 7:54:40 PM] Janis: Is it was dragged here, there would be a blood trail.

[2/7/2014 8:02:36 PM] Janis: Wynn, we appreciate the defense. But if you get knocked out, you might land on one of us.

[2/7/2014 9:27:09 PM] Nation: Gnarmak looks the drider over.

[2/7/2014 9:27:16 PM] Nation: Gnarmak:  Hmm.

[2/7/2014 9:27:22 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Friend Kestrel mentioned that it didn't seem reasonable that this drider died so easily.

[2/7/2014 9:27:34 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): It is possible it was previously wounded.

[2/7/2014 9:27:45 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) goes to check over the corpse, and perhaps figure out why it fell so easily.

[2/7/2014 9:27:53 PM] Kalor: ((Actually it has around 45 hp))

[2/7/2014 9:28:06 PM] Kalor: ((And we did about that much))

[2/7/2014 9:28:12 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((26 to check the corpse out.))

[2/7/2014 9:28:50 PM] Kalor: I believe it may have been because my spell blinded it, it could not defend itself as easily as it might have otherwise.

[2/7/2014 9:28:56 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((As a heal check, I should mention. If I need to roll something else instead, I can do that.))

[2/7/2014 9:29:33 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): We *did* kill it, but it seems as though it had been previously weakened.

[2/7/2014 9:29:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles at Kalor and Larry. "Thanks.... I believe I may owe a debt to the two of you."

[2/7/2014 9:29:59 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): As though something sapped its life force.

[2/7/2014 9:30:05 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Puzzling.

[2/7/2014 9:30:20 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): And it was our pleasure, friend Lira.

[2/7/2014 9:30:36 PM] Kalor: Could that mean we have something else hiding here?

[2/7/2014 9:30:49 PM] Kalor: Something that can sap the life of a Drider?

[2/7/2014 9:30:57 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): There's always that possibility. We should make sure friend Wynn is safe.

[2/7/2014 9:30:58 PM] Nation: Nation comes in.

[2/7/2014 9:31:00 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): A necromancer, perhaps.

[2/7/2014 9:31:03 PM] Nilani: Nilani walks in

[2/7/2014 9:31:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) turns around. "....Everything okay?"

[2/7/2014 9:31:22 PM] Nilani: Guys, we've got a newbie

[2/7/2014 9:31:28 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Friend Nation! Welcome.

[2/7/2014 9:31:36 PM] Janis: ......what?

[2/7/2014 9:31:46 PM] Nation: Nation frowns at the drider. "I don't detect anyone else, but this one was very good at eluding my sensors."

[2/7/2014 9:32:04 PM] Janis: Yeah...how can it do that?

[2/7/2014 9:32:19 PM | Edited 9:32:25 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): I assume magic, seeing its capability to shoot lightning.

[2/7/2014 9:32:37 PM] Nation: Nation:  I'm not omniscient.

[2/7/2014 9:32:44 PM | Edited 9:32:48 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Also, its crossbow and ring are magic.

[2/7/2014 9:36:25 PM] Kalor: There is blood coming in from my lungs, obviously.

[2/7/2014 9:37:02 PM] Kalor: Took me a minute to realize though, I get what you mean...

[2/7/2014 9:37:52 PM] Kalor: Lira, would you be interested in an exchange of arcane knowledge?

[2/7/2014 9:38:39 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks up at Kalor as she is helping Larry. "Don't tell me Tarak got to you..."

[2/7/2014 9:38:52 PM] Kalor: I would be more than willing to exchange knowledge on the glitterdust spell for another illusion spell of equal level.

[2/7/2014 9:39:19 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks interested!

[2/7/2014 9:39:45 PM] Kalor: And no, I was simply thinking that with two of us, we could cover twice the area if we are attacked again.

[2/7/2014 9:39:50 PM] Nation: the drider didn't really have any clothes per se.

[2/7/2014 9:40:18 PM] Nation: The ring, the quiver of bolts, and the satchel, and the hand crossbow.

[2/7/2014 9:40:21 PM | Edited 9:40:27 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods. "That is indeed an excellent idea. We should compare notes after we are done with cleanup."

[2/7/2014 9:40:45 PM] Kalor: The dust is quite tenacious, and will even reveal invisible targets in its area of effect.

[2/7/2014 9:41:02 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) handles whatever he's holding carefully, and walks to the galley to meet our new shipmate.

[2/7/2014 9:41:29 PM] Kalor: So who is this newcomer exactly?

[2/7/2014 9:41:39 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shrugs!

[2/7/2014 9:41:44 PM] Nation: Nation's Avatar walks up to the corpse and casts disentegrate at it.

[2/7/2014 9:42:07 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): .............I didn't know you could do that.

[2/7/2014 9:42:10 PM] Kalor: Very neat, we will have no more trouble out of that one.

[2/7/2014 9:43:05 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Should we meet this new guest, or should we leave it to our capable crewmembers? Or, to rephrase, when would you like to exchange knowledge?

[2/7/2014 9:43:46 PM] Nation: Nation nods. "Corpses are very unsanitary.  Especially in a library."

[2/7/2014 9:44:24 PM] Kalor: Let us head over to the galley first then.

[2/7/2014 9:45:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles at Nation, but giving a troubled glance around. "It is nice to see you Nation, you should show up more." Then, she follows Kalor out!

[2/7/2014 9:45:48 PM] Nation: You guys all converge on the galley.

[2/7/2014 9:45:59 PM] Kestrel: Bellami just looks at Janis, somewhat confused.

[2/7/2014 9:46:10 PM] Janis: That's me.

[2/7/2014 9:46:14 PM] Janis: ...who are you?

[2/7/2014 9:46:25 PM | Edited 9:46:42 PM] Wynn: Everyone, this is Mother Bellami, Priestess of Cyrene... and she's never met a human before.

[2/7/2014 9:47:01 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Wynn with a slightly disapproving frown.

[2/7/2014 9:47:04 PM] Kestrel: The new person is a tall, graceful elven woman, blonde, with a long, flowing and fairly revealing blue dress made of mostly gauze. She's also wearing a silver-and-gold tiara, with a matching necklace, bracelets and rings, dripping in diamonds and sapphires. She has blue eyes.

[2/7/2014 9:47:18 PM] Kalor: Pleased to meet you, I'm Kalor, wizard in the service of Aventernus. And I have seen plenty of humans.

[2/7/2014 9:47:24 PM] Kestrel: Bellami curtseys deeply.

[2/7/2014 9:47:38 PM] Janis: Janis puts her hand down

[2/7/2014 9:48:03 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Of course, I *had* heard they still existed, in obscure corners of faraway planes.

[2/7/2014 9:48:27 PM] Kalor: Kalor says in elven "I bid your grace welcome to the voidship Nation"

[2/7/2014 9:48:28 PM] Wynn: The point being, she's not from our plane.

[2/7/2014 9:48:31 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Wait, did you not awaken in a pod?

[2/7/2014 9:48:50 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I have been kidnapped, apparently; and I would like to go home.

[2/7/2014 9:49:08 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): As would we all, I'm afraid.

[2/7/2014 9:49:19 PM] Janis: Janis shrugs

[2/7/2014 9:49:19 PM] Kestrel: Bellami smiles at Kalor, and answers him in Elven: "'Mother' or 'Lady' will do, but thank you for your kind words."

[2/7/2014 9:49:43 PM] Kalor: Kalor bows "As you please, Lady."

[2/7/2014 9:49:50 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... am I to understand all of you are being held here against your will? And what has been done about it?

[2/7/2014 9:50:07 PM] Janis: Raven tried to escape

[2/7/2014 9:50:12 PM] Janis: It didn't work.

[2/7/2014 9:50:17 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) gives a look of deep sadness. ".........We have been making progress to find the means by which we can return home."

[2/7/2014 9:50:17 PM] Janis: He lives in the forest now.

[2/7/2014 9:50:57 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Hm. Well, that's terrible. ... it seems like they do give us food, at least, and a place to take exercise.

[2/7/2014 9:51:11 PM] Nation: Nation's Voice:  I have all the amenities.

[2/7/2014 9:51:18 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I am still confused as to whether the pod ship abducted you from another plane.

[2/7/2014 9:51:28 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... you all *did* hear that, right?

[2/7/2014 9:51:38 PM] Janis: That's Nation

[2/7/2014 9:51:38 PM] Wynn: ((22 K: Religion on Cyrene?))

[2/7/2014 9:51:41 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): That is the ship. He is called Nation.

[2/7/2014 9:51:41 PM] Janis: He's the ship.

[2/7/2014 9:51:44 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Yes, Nation speaks.

[2/7/2014 9:51:50 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: And he brought us here.

[2/7/2014 9:51:55 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Not exactly.

[2/7/2014 9:51:58 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....Not precisely.

[2/7/2014 9:52:00 PM] Nation: Nation:  Not at all.

[2/7/2014 9:52:08 PM] Nilani: I think you misunderstand. We are not held by someone. We are held by someTHING. Not Nation, either.

[2/7/2014 9:52:18 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): We are cursed. He is cursed.

[2/7/2014 9:52:43 PM] Janis: We think. We're not entirely clear on the details.

[2/7/2014 9:53:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): There is another ship which connects to Nation. It contains all the pods, one of which I am assuming, having not received an answer as of yet, you were in. We were each in one of those pods. We have no recollection of how we were abducted.

[2/7/2014 9:53:59 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... someone has cursed us all, including the ship? That's terrible.

[2/7/2014 9:54:05 PM] Kalor: Actually I quite clearly remember being about to order a drink...

[2/7/2014 9:54:12 PM] Kalor: and then I was here.

[2/7/2014 9:54:27 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....That does not answer the question of how the abduction happened.

[2/7/2014 9:54:56 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... can't we simply leave the ship?

[2/7/2014 9:55:05 PM] Nilani: Raven tried.

[2/7/2014 9:55:10 PM | Edited 9:55:13 PM] Wynn: We can, but we wind up in the pod room again.

[2/7/2014 9:55:14 PM | Edited 9:55:47 PM] Nilani: He made it out, but was brought back.

[2/7/2014 9:55:20 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): But all of us came from a general region, so far as I can tell, near to the kingdom of Meneluinin.

[2/7/2014 9:55:31 PM] Janis: We can leave it temporarily while Nation is still attached to the plane.

[2/7/2014 9:55:45 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Until you, that is, Ms. Bellami.

[2/7/2014 9:56:03 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... I've never heard of the place. Also, Lady or Mother are correct.

[2/7/2014 9:56:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Very well, Lady Bellami.

[2/7/2014 9:56:23 PM] Janis: Okay Lady Mother Bellami

[2/7/2014 9:56:30 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Not both.

[2/7/2014 9:56:41 PM] Kalor: Kalor smirks

[2/7/2014 9:56:45 PM] Nilani: Nilani grins

[2/7/2014 9:56:46 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... if you have titles, please do correct me; I don't wish to be rude.

[2/7/2014 9:56:55 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) pales.

[2/7/2014 9:57:02 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Given the fact that you were only aware that humans existed on distant planes, I wouldn't expect you to know of our area.

[2/7/2014 9:57:04 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: But none of you seem to have any of the usual indicators.

[2/7/2014 9:57:12 PM] Janis: Indicators?

[2/7/2014 9:57:19 PM] Nilani: Is "You dirty beggar" a title?

[2/7/2014 9:57:32 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....No.

[2/7/2014 9:57:33 PM] Kestrel: Bellami holds up her hand. "Indicators."

[2/7/2014 9:57:47 PM] Janis: .......no those are hands.

[2/7/2014 9:57:51 PM] Kalor: I for one am quite partial to "Lord of the dance" or perhaps "Battlemage"

[2/7/2014 9:58:00 PM | Edited 9:58:03 PM] Wynn: I am a Paladin, but I bear no title. Wynn is enough.

[2/7/2014 9:58:02 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... the bracelets, one for each child.

[2/7/2014 9:58:19 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): .........I do believe the tradition you are accustomed to does not exist where we came from.

[2/7/2014 9:58:23 PM] Janis: ((How many bracelets does she have?))

[2/7/2014 9:58:27 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Ah, I see.

[2/7/2014 9:58:33 PM] Kestrel: About a dozen, from what you can see.

[2/7/2014 9:58:45 PM] Janis: Wow, you got a lot of kids.

[2/7/2014 9:58:50 PM] Janis: You must like sex a lot.

[2/7/2014 9:58:58 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) STARES AT JANIS.

[2/7/2014 9:59:24 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: .... the goddess has blessed me above all expectations and I have given her many children, yes.

[2/7/2014 9:59:26 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks at Janis with a little alarm and a lot of.... censorship.

[2/7/2014 10:00:00 PM] Janis: Janis looks around at everyone staring at her.

[2/7/2014 10:00:02 PM] Janis: ...what?

[2/7/2014 10:00:04 PM] Nilani: Nilani 's face is a bit pink.

[2/7/2014 10:00:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) manages to tear her eyes off Janis and looks at Bellami with a puzzled look. "Given her....?"

[2/7/2014 10:00:08 PM] Wynn: Apologies, Mother. She just recently learned about the act.

[2/7/2014 10:00:10 PM] Kestrel: Bellami smiles. "I have been extremely fortunate."

[2/7/2014 10:00:23 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) is still extremely confused about the planar situation.

[2/7/2014 10:00:50 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Ah, I see.

[2/7/2014 10:01:03 PM] Nation: Allys walks into the galley, looking around. "I assume you all dealt with the problem?"

[2/7/2014 10:01:04 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): To our knowledge, everyone here so far has come from around Meneluinin roughly.

[2/7/2014 10:01:16 PM] Wynn: Yes, Allys. Meet our new guest, Mother Bellami.

[2/7/2014 10:01:19 PM | Edited 10:01:28 PM] Nilani: The obvious one, yes. (to Allys)

[2/7/2014 10:01:20 PM] Wynn: She is a priestess of Cyrene.

[2/7/2014 10:01:31 PM] Kestrel: Bellami curtseys to Allys, deeply.

[2/7/2014 10:01:33 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): We don't know about the elf who passed away, nor the vampire.

[2/7/2014 10:01:45 PM] Kalor: Well, more "Around" than others, seeing as I was drinking at a triton tavern.

[2/7/2014 10:01:46 PM] Nation: Allys eyes Bellami. "Or the hellhound."

[2/7/2014 10:01:55 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Please clarify. What do you mean by *given* your Goddess many children?

[2/7/2014 10:02:10 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Fair point, Allys.

[2/7/2014 10:02:44 PM] Nation: Allys:  So, Bellami is it?

[2/7/2014 10:02:46 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... how do your people normally do it? Are you not elven?

[2/7/2014 10:03:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): As implied before, traditions differ.

[2/7/2014 10:03:11 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Lady or Mother are the proper titles, but yes, Bellami is correct.

[2/7/2014 10:03:21 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I, for one, am human.

[2/7/2014 10:03:35 PM] Kalor: I, for one, am not.

[2/7/2014 10:03:45 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... how do you normally produce children?

[2/7/2014 10:03:54 PM] Janis: I can answer this one!

[2/7/2014 10:03:56 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): .....Not through divine will.

[2/7/2014 10:03:58 PM] Wynn: Wynn sighs heavily ((this again? lol))

[2/7/2014 10:04:08 PM | Edited 10:04:15 PM] Nilani: Nilani 's face gets pink again.

[2/7/2014 10:04:35 PM] Nation: Allys:  Ah, yes, Cyrene. I believe I've heard of her. Some kind of hearth goddess?

[2/7/2014 10:04:39 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: All children are produced through divine will. Each is a blessing to be treasured.

[2/7/2014 10:05:00 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Hearth, home, women, children and childbearing.

[2/7/2014 10:05:05 PM] Janis: Cool, I'm a blessing.

[2/7/2014 10:05:11 PM] Janis: Janis sits up very proudly

[2/7/2014 10:05:18 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Yes. No one has told you this before?

[2/7/2014 10:05:27 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks at Janis with a bit ofa smirk.

[2/7/2014 10:05:41 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Bellami silently, regarding her in a serious manner.

[2/7/2014 10:05:46 PM] Nation: Allys:  Is anyone wounded? Nation told me about the drider.

[2/7/2014 10:06:02 PM] Janis: I think Kes got hit.

[2/7/2014 10:06:08 PM] Kalor: All children are to be protected and cared for until they can care for themselves, that is the will of Aventernus.

[2/7/2014 10:06:09 PM] Janis: Larry healed Lira already.

[2/7/2014 10:06:12 PM] Nation: Allys:  She's with Jhet.

[2/7/2014 10:06:14 PM] Wynn: Did Jhett wake up with no issues?

[2/7/2014 10:06:18 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) scowls at Janis.

[2/7/2014 10:06:30 PM] Nation: Allys nods at Wynn. "Yes, he's fine."

[2/7/2014 10:06:42 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Aventernus; the name sounds familiar but I cannot place it.

[2/7/2014 10:06:42 PM] Janis: Janis looks at Lira "...what?"

[2/7/2014 10:06:55 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): That information was not pertinent.

[2/7/2014 10:07:23 PM] Kalor: The god of trade, law and the sea.

[2/7/2014 10:07:38 PM] Kalor: He is the guardian deity of my people.

[2/7/2014 10:07:41 PM] Kestrel: Bellami smiles. "Really? You must tell me more."

[2/7/2014 10:09:34 PM] Kalor: Well, pretty much he saved us all when our old homeland sank beneath the waves, his favorite things are honest traders and those that spend wealth to protect or care for those weaker than themselves, turnoffs include slavers and dishonest business practices.

[2/7/2014 10:09:54 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: He sounds quite agreeable.

[2/7/2014 10:10:18 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks from Kalor to Bellami and back, then departs!

[2/7/2014 10:10:20 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Though I must say, a child's status as sacred is always pertinent, isn't it?

[2/7/2014 10:10:49 PM] Kalor: He's a fairly straightforward god, and so far I think he agrees with the choices I've made. There's not much more one can hope for in life, I guess.

[2/7/2014 10:10:57 PM] Janis: I think I like her.

[2/7/2014 10:10:59 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) makes a small shake of her head. "I meant that in reply to Janis."

[2/7/2014 10:11:15 PM] Kalor: Of course.

[2/7/2014 10:11:24 PM] Nation: Allys looks at Lira. "You're sure you are well?"

[2/7/2014 10:11:30 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Ah. What information wasn't pertinent?

[2/7/2014 10:11:57 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns at Allys. "Never felt better."

[2/7/2014 10:12:41 PM] Kalor: Children are the weakest of us, so therefore it is up to each of us to care for them. Thus the merchant's guild sponsor education and lodging for all the children of Delvingdeep.

[2/7/2014 10:12:58 PM] Janis: Hey!

[2/7/2014 10:13:27 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Children are rare and precious. To be treasured.

[2/7/2014 10:13:31 PM] Wynn: Wynn returns in her cozy comfy sweater and pants, leaning her shield and mace against the wall.

[2/7/2014 10:13:34 PM] Nation: Allys nods at Lira.

[2/7/2014 10:14:10 PM] Nilani: Nilani waves at Wynn

[2/7/2014 10:14:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): .....Hi Wynn.

[2/7/2014 10:15:05 PM] Wynn: Hello again. I wasn't gone long.

[2/7/2014 10:15:09 PM] Kalor: Well Janis, do you not owe your strength to the wealth of skills and knowledge you possess?

[2/7/2014 10:15:37 PM] Janis: I thought it was because I know how to shoot people.

[2/7/2014 10:15:58 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: A very useful skill.

[2/7/2014 10:16:03 PM] Kalor: Thanks to the public education system, all our children learn important skills such as... Well, to shoot people, if they choose that path.

[2/7/2014 10:16:33 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles a little nervously, and remains silent.

[2/7/2014 10:16:45 PM] Janis: I learned from a man I met in a tavern.

[2/7/2014 10:16:46 PM] Wynn: Well, I don't know about you all, but I'm hungry. Who wants to teach me how to cook something yummy?

[2/7/2014 10:16:50 PM] Janis: He was a good man.

[2/7/2014 10:17:07 PM] Janis: Janis turns to Bellami

[2/7/2014 10:17:12 PM] Nation: Allys:  I can do that, I suppose.

[2/7/2014 10:17:21 PM] Janis: ...you know, I can see through your dress.

[2/7/2014 10:17:24 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I'm afraid I'm not much for cookery.

[2/7/2014 10:17:24 PM] Kalor: Since he shared the gift of knowledge with you, I agree.

[2/7/2014 10:17:31 PM] Nation: Allys:  Everyone can see through that dress.

[2/7/2014 10:17:41 PM] Janis: You should talk to your tailor about getting better fabric.

[2/7/2014 10:17:48 PM] Kalor: I am pretty sure that is its primary purpose.

[2/7/2014 10:17:53 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: It's intended to be translucent.

[2/7/2014 10:18:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): I believe it is to show her... ability to bear children for her Goddess.

[2/7/2014 10:18:24 PM] Janis: ...I may not know much about that yet.

[2/7/2014 10:18:38 PM] Janis: ...but if she wanted to show how good she is at having babies...

[2/7/2014 10:18:46 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I suppose that might be one way to put it, yes.

[2/7/2014 10:18:55 PM] Janis: Shouldn't the fabric be see-through down...

[2/7/2014 10:18:59 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ..........

[2/7/2014 10:19:13 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) blushes a little.

[2/7/2014 10:19:15 PM] Nilani: Nilani 's face goes pink again.

[2/7/2014 10:19:15 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: That would be considered inappropriate in public, but in temples, of course, that is quite common.

[2/7/2014 10:19:22 PM | Edited 10:19:25 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....................................

[2/7/2014 10:19:37 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Friend Janis, perhaps we should go feed Flamey.

[2/7/2014 10:19:38 PM] Wynn: Janis, why don't you come learn to cook with me?

[2/7/2014 10:19:58 PM] Janis: ...what's to learn?

[2/7/2014 10:20:04 PM] Kalor: Kalor breaks down laughing

[2/7/2014 10:20:05 PM] Janis: You make a fire and put meat over it.

[2/7/2014 10:20:15 PM] Nation: Allys:  What if you have no meat to cook with?

[2/7/2014 10:20:18 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I think there is rather more to it than that.

[2/7/2014 10:20:33 PM] Wynn: Indeed. That's all I know about cooking and my meals are terrible.

[2/7/2014 10:20:35 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) remains tongue-tied!

[2/7/2014 10:20:38 PM] Kalor: Kalor tries to breathe but keeps laughing

[2/7/2014 10:20:50 PM] Janis: Janis turns to Allys "Then you hunt some."

[2/7/2014 10:21:09 PM] Janis: ...I guess you could eat just vegetables and stuff, but that's not very filling.

[2/7/2014 10:21:10 PM] Nation: Allys:  Come here. I'll show you how to make something basic.

[2/7/2014 10:21:23 PM] Nation: Allys:  A simple bread.

[2/7/2014 10:21:51 PM] Wynn: Wynn will watch Allys!

[2/7/2014 10:22:15 PM | Removed 10:23:09 PM] Kestrel: This message has been removed.

[2/7/2014 10:22:22 PM] Kalor: But to make bread, you just mix flour and yeast and milk and then let it stand... And then you put it over the fire

[2/7/2014 10:22:29 PM] Kalor: Kalor giggles again

[2/7/2014 10:23:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Kalor, smiling amiably. "Fire is a very common ingredient in cooking."

[2/7/2014 10:23:17 PM] Kestrel: Bellami smiles at Kalor. "Don't laugh *too* hard."

[2/7/2014 10:23:58 PM] Kalor: Kalor manages to compose himself

[2/7/2014 10:24:44 PM] Nilani: Nilani resumes flipping through the Dictionary.

[2/7/2014 10:25:30 PM] Janis: There, Kalor just explained it to me.

[2/7/2014 10:25:33 PM] Janis: Janis gets up

[2/7/2014 10:25:41 PM] Janis: I'll go feed Flamey.

[2/7/2014 10:25:48 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: It *is* more involved than that, but ... flamey?

[2/7/2014 10:26:07 PM] Wynn: Wynn watches Allys, but addresses Bellami. "What magic were you speaking of to return home?"

[2/7/2014 10:26:08 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) goes to put away the weapons, etc. from the drider.

[2/7/2014 10:26:18 PM] Kalor: It is our pet hellhound.

[2/7/2014 10:26:36 PM] Kalor: Apparently it took a liking to the young ranger.

[2/7/2014 10:26:37 PM] Kestrel: Bellami raises her golden eyebrows. "You've tamed a hellhound? I am quite impressed."

[2/7/2014 10:26:42 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) will follow Larry!

[2/7/2014 10:27:02 PM] Wynn: Do you have planar travel ability?

[2/7/2014 10:27:07 PM] Janis: Janis grabs a couple slabs of meat and heads out to the storage room

[2/7/2014 10:27:47 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I? No, alas.

[2/7/2014 10:28:14 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: My time was rather taken up by my duties at the temple and in town, and teaching, of course.

[2/7/2014 10:28:24 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I had very little time for self-improvement.

[2/7/2014 10:28:40 PM] Wynn: So the magic you were talking about was... a threat? To make us let you out?

[2/7/2014 10:28:58 PM] Nilani: Then you were just threatening to roast us, assuming we could 'port you back.

[2/7/2014 10:29:16 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: What, when I mentioned fireballs? A simple spell.

[2/7/2014 10:29:48 PM] Janis: Janis returns, a little more ashy than before

[2/7/2014 10:30:08 PM] Wynn: Well, you are free to try to leave, whenever you like. However, we don't take kindly to any persons threatening or attacking any other member of this crew.

[2/7/2014 10:30:42 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: If you're not the ones responsible, it would be rather silly to try to hurt you, don't you think?

[2/7/2014 10:30:53 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: And I wouldn't like a child to come to harm through my actions.

[2/7/2014 10:31:06 PM] Wynn: Just something to keep in mind. I tell every new guest the same thing.

[2/7/2014 10:31:18 PM] Janis: Ok, now it's becoming a little annoying.

[2/7/2014 10:31:19 PM] Wynn: Wynn smiles. "I hope your stay with us is a pleasant one."

[2/7/2014 10:31:55 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Is it? My apologies. I'll try to be more tactful.

[2/7/2014 10:32:14 PM] Wynn: Janis prefers not to think of herself as a child is all.

[2/7/2014 10:32:29 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Oh, I see.

[2/7/2014 10:33:04 PM] Kalor: She is more capable with the bow than most grown people I have seen. Men or women.

[2/7/2014 10:33:18 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I will try to respect your wishes. ... as I seem to be the only one here with a title, it would be seem silly to go on using it. Do call me Bellami.

[2/7/2014 10:33:49 PM] Janis: If you want us to call you Lady, we can do that.

[2/7/2014 10:33:52 PM] Wynn: If you like.

[2/7/2014 10:33:54 PM] Janis: I don't really care.

[2/7/2014 10:34:31 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Bellami is fine; I'm certain to get used to it. I never did go by the full title anyway, it always seemed so formal and tedious.

[2/7/2014 10:34:36 PM] Wynn: At least a few of us are quite accustomed to using titles for priests and priestesses.

[2/7/2014 10:34:50 PM] Kalor: And knights

[2/7/2014 10:35:02 PM] Janis: But sadly not bounty hunters.

[2/7/2014 10:35:03 PM] Kestrel: Bellami shakes her head. "I must adapt to your customs; I am the stranger here, after all."

[2/7/2014 10:35:21 PM] Wynn: Wynn smiles a little.

[2/7/2014 10:35:59 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I will do my best to contribute, with the skills I do possess.

[2/7/2014 10:36:19 PM] Janis: I'm sure you'll fit in.

[2/7/2014 10:36:31 PM] Janis: Gnarmak's a dentist. We take on a bunch of people.

[2/7/2014 10:36:41 PM] Wynn: The only ones who haven't so far are the ones who attack us.

[2/7/2014 10:37:06 PM] Janis: ...and maybe Raven...since we don't see him much anymore.

[2/7/2014 10:37:10 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I don't believe I've met... Gnarmak.

[2/7/2014 10:37:11 PM] Wynn: We just had an unpleasant encounter with a drider, which is why Nilani and I were in the pods in the first place.

[2/7/2014 10:37:51 PM] Kalor: Yes, the pod room... We don't go there anymore.

[2/7/2014 10:38:04 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: A drider! ... what is a drider?

[2/7/2014 10:38:14 PM] Janis: Giant Spider-Elf.

[2/7/2014 10:38:16 PM] Nilani: Do you know what a centaur is?

[2/7/2014 10:38:40 PM] Nilani: It's like that, but the lower half is a spider, not a horse.

[2/7/2014 10:38:50 PM] Nation: Allys:  A fusion of elf and spider. The result of a botched religious ritual.

[2/7/2014 10:39:03 PM] Kalor: Currently it's disintegrated, swept up, and probably dumped in the fuel tank of this ship.

[2/7/2014 10:39:25 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... that ... sounds rather appalling.

[2/7/2014 10:39:36 PM] Janis: It looks worse

[2/7/2014 10:39:49 PM] Kalor: Not nearly as much after a faceful of glitterdust and some precise stabbing.

[2/7/2014 10:40:07 PM] Nilani: Nilani shrugs. "It's better than a Neogi."

[2/7/2014 10:40:07 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Ah, glitterdust. A very useful spell, I always find.

[2/7/2014 10:40:54 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Neogi. Those I have heard of, and quite unpleasant.

[2/7/2014 10:41:32 PM] Kalor: But very devoted to the production of children, I've read.

[2/7/2014 10:42:08 PM] Nilani: Nilani pales, remembering something she read in the bestiary entry.

[2/7/2014 10:42:36 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Still. They have appalling habits otherwise.

[2/7/2014 10:43:26 PM] Kalor: Definitely, and they are an entire race of slavers no less. A blight in the eyes of Aventernus.

[2/7/2014 10:44:10 PM] Janis: So are Drow

[2/7/2014 10:45:07 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Drow?

[2/7/2014 10:45:27 PM] Janis: Dark elves. They made the Driders.

[2/7/2014 10:45:32 PM] Janis: And they're slavers too.

[2/7/2014 10:45:47 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: That sounds terrible. ... I hope people here aren't like that.

[2/7/2014 10:45:57 PM] Wynn: Here, on the ship?

[2/7/2014 10:46:01 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Yes.

[2/7/2014 10:46:04 PM] Wynn: No. It would not be tolerated.

[2/7/2014 10:46:42 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... I also find myself in need of some assistance. I... apparently did not bring any other sets of clothing with me, and while I certainly *can* keep these clean...

[2/7/2014 10:47:00 PM | Edited 10:47:02 PM] Wynn: Wynn smiles. "We have spare clothing in the storage room."

[2/7/2014 10:47:22 PM] Janis: I don't think any like that, though.

[2/7/2014 10:47:46 PM | Edited 10:48:53 PM] Nilani: They're not as fancy, but they're not too itchy, either.

[2/7/2014 10:47:55 PM] Wynn: While Allys and I prepare dinner, someone can get you some clothes and show you to a room.

[2/7/2014 10:48:10 PM] Janis: I can do it.

[2/7/2014 10:48:39 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I can also make clothing, if given the materials.

[2/7/2014 10:48:52 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I would be happy to help with others as well, if they wish it.

[2/7/2014 10:49:07 PM] Wynn: Good to know. We can purchase materials the next time we plane-jump.

[2/7/2014 10:50:12 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I would be happy to contribute funds.

[2/7/2014 10:50:20 PM] Wynn: We have a library and a training room aboard, but be careful not to open any doors that have blinking lights.

[2/7/2014 10:50:53 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Blinking lights. Right.

[2/7/2014 10:50:59 PM] Janis: Also, be careful about Storage Room B.

[2/7/2014 10:51:03 PM] Wynn: When Janis shows you a room, she can point out Flamey's door as well so you don't accidentally meet her.

[2/7/2014 10:51:05 PM] Janis: That's where Flamey hangs out.

[2/7/2014 10:51:11 PM] Kalor: Those lead to unstable or dangerous planes

[2/7/2014 10:51:18 PM] Kalor: Usually both

[2/7/2014 10:51:28 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: The hellhound. ... is the hellhound hostile? Animals usually like me.

[2/7/2014 10:51:43 PM] Janis: She's usually very friendly.

[2/7/2014 10:51:44 PM] Wynn: And if you need anything else, you can ask Nation and he'll let one of us know.

[2/7/2014 10:51:46 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... people usually do as well, although of course there are exceptions.

[2/7/2014 10:51:48 PM] Janis: Just don't let her lick you

[2/7/2014 10:51:51 PM] Janis: It hurts

[2/7/2014 10:52:06 PM] Kestrel: Bellami nods. "A fiery maw, yes. That makes sense to me."

[2/7/2014 10:52:13 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Are there others here I haven't met?

[2/7/2014 10:52:20 PM] Janis: We mentioned Gnarmak

[2/7/2014 10:52:24 PM] Janis: There's also Tarak

[2/7/2014 10:52:30 PM] Janis: And Raven

[2/7/2014 10:52:40 PM] Wynn: Wynn grimaces a little.

[2/7/2014 10:52:43 PM] Janis: And Jhett

[2/7/2014 10:52:49 PM] Wynn: Short answer, yes.

[2/7/2014 10:52:50 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Gnarmak the dentist.

[2/7/2014 10:53:10 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Tarak, and Raven, and Jhett.

[2/7/2014 10:53:14 PM] Janis: Oh, and Talas. She's the Dryad of the Forest.

[2/7/2014 10:53:50 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: What do Tarak, Raven and Jhett do?

[2/7/2014 10:53:50 PM] Janis: And Kestrel

[2/7/2014 10:54:03 PM] Janis: I don't know what Raven does

[2/7/2014 10:54:10 PM] Janis: Jhett seems to be a musician

[2/7/2014 10:54:13 PM] Wynn: Tarak is a paladin, and Jhett is a musician.

[2/7/2014 10:54:27 PM] Wynn: Raven is an enigma.

[2/7/2014 10:54:40 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: A paladin and a musician. And an enigma! How is he, or she, an enigma?

[2/7/2014 10:54:50 PM | Edited 10:54:54 PM] Wynn: We don't know anythng about him.

[2/7/2014 10:54:59 PM] Janis: Tarak is also...a little rough when you first meet him.

[2/7/2014 10:55:12 PM] Wynn: Also there is Kestrel and Graaver.

[2/7/2014 10:55:12 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... rough?

[2/7/2014 10:55:40 PM] Nation: Allys:  He is a gruff, violent, brute.

[2/7/2014 10:56:01 PM] Janis: But once you get to know him...actually he gets a little worse once you get to know him...

[2/7/2014 10:56:13 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns.

[2/7/2014 10:56:15 PM] Nation: Allys:  Indeed.

[2/7/2014 10:56:20 PM] Janis: Oh, and Kestrel

[2/7/2014 10:56:24 PM] Wynn: I disagree.

[2/7/2014 10:56:27 PM] Janis: I don't think you've met her yet.

[2/7/2014 10:56:46 PM | Edited 10:56:52 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: Gruff, violent and a brute. ... and no one has a problem with this?

[2/7/2014 10:57:03 PM] Kestrel: ((Sorry. Ugh, I just READ Allys's line, so of course I wrote it. >.< ))

[2/7/2014 10:57:43 PM] Janis: Well, he's also teaching Wynn.

[2/7/2014 10:58:00 PM] Nilani: He's good at helping keep us alive.

[2/7/2014 10:58:12 PM] Nilani: When he feels like it.

[2/7/2014 10:58:13 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... a violent *teacher*?

[2/7/2014 10:58:25 PM] Wynn: He's a paladin.

[2/7/2014 10:58:33 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... you keep him away from Janis, I hope?

[2/7/2014 10:58:39 PM] Wynn: You don't need to worry about the violence.

[2/7/2014 10:58:51 PM] Wynn: It's very focused and direct and only towards those who deserve it.

[2/7/2014 10:59:06 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... all abusers feel their victims deserve it.

[2/7/2014 10:59:22 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns. "It is not *abuse.*"

[2/7/2014 10:59:31 PM] Wynn: It is the calling of a paladin.

[2/7/2014 11:00:19 PM] Janis: Also, he hasn't really abused any of us.

[2/7/2014 11:00:29 PM] Janis: And he's been teaching me some important stuff.

[2/7/2014 11:00:36 PM] Wynn: He hasn't abused any of us *at all*.

[2/7/2014 11:00:51 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... so he isn't abusive or violent?

[2/7/2014 11:00:56 PM] Kestrel: Bellami eyes Allys curiously.

[2/7/2014 11:01:39 PM] Wynn: You are the one who said abusive.

[2/7/2014 11:01:52 PM] Wynn: The calling of a paladin is to visit violence on wrongdoers.

[2/7/2014 11:02:04 PM] Nation: Allys:  He's violent.

[2/7/2014 11:02:09 PM] Kalor: He's actually just foul mouthed and grumpy.

[2/7/2014 11:02:10 PM | Edited 11:02:22 PM] Nation: Allys:  He's drunk most of the time.

[2/7/2014 11:02:41 PM] Kalor: Like a fish

[2/7/2014 11:03:02 PM] Wynn: He also has the tendency to hit on anything that moves, but you do not need to worry about the violence.

[2/7/2014 11:03:19 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... interesting.

[2/7/2014 11:03:32 PM] Kestrel: Bellami smiles.

[2/7/2014 11:03:37 PM] Nation: Allys:  No, it is not.

[2/7/2014 11:03:47 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... isn't it?

[2/7/2014 11:03:48 PM] Kalor: And sarcastic.

[2/7/2014 11:04:12 PM] Nilani: Nilani is stonefaced

[2/7/2014 11:04:13 PM] Nation: Allys:  No.

[2/7/2014 11:04:25 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... I'm afraid I'm a bit lost. Why isn't it?

[2/7/2014 11:04:48 PM] Janis: Allys is his sister

[2/7/2014 11:05:15 PM] Kalor: She is?

[2/7/2014 11:05:15 PM] Nation: Allys: He has enough on his plate without getting sized up as a breeding stud.

[2/7/2014 11:06:04 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: *Excuse* me. I don't believe I *had* sized him up, for breeding or otherwise. What a rude thing to say.

[2/7/2014 11:06:21 PM] Wynn: How about we just talk about something else?

[2/7/2014 11:06:31 PM] Wynn: It is quite rude to speak about someone who isn't present anyway.

[2/7/2014 11:07:10 PM] Nation: Allys:  Am I wrong? Isn't that what you're doing with Kalor here?

[2/7/2014 11:07:37 PM] Janis: ...wait, what?

[2/7/2014 11:08:11 PM] Kalor: That still does not mean she is going to do so to him... Wait WHAT?!?

[2/7/2014 11:08:14 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... I am unfamiliar with your form of etiquette, clearly. Please, tell me what I've said wrong.

[2/7/2014 11:08:30 PM] Wynn: Janis.... why don't you show Bellami to her room?

[2/7/2014 11:08:43 PM] Janis: But I wanna see where this goes.

[2/7/2014 11:09:03 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I had no intention of being rude. You have my sincerest apologies if I have been.

[2/7/2014 11:09:15 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: If you tell me what I said, I will at least know to avoid repeating the error.

[2/7/2014 11:09:49 PM] Kalor: But was it not Allys that was rude? Or what am I missing here? I'm confused...

[2/7/2014 11:11:42 PM] Nation: Allys:  It is considered polite, when you wish something of someone, to be clear about what you want from them. That's all.

[2/7/2014 11:12:49 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... I ... I see. Clearly your culture is more direct than mine.

[2/7/2014 11:13:05 PM] Kalor: We are?

[2/7/2014 11:13:18 PM] Wynn: Some of us, probably.

[2/7/2014 11:13:21 PM] Kalor: I'm quite certain it's just her.

[2/7/2014 11:13:34 PM] Wynn: I know I'm more direct than many from my own plane.

[2/7/2014 11:13:44 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... I would not have said... it would have been extremely rude and...

[2/7/2014 11:14:30 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: ... I do not like to speak of shameful things. However, as that...

[2/7/2014 11:14:48 PM] Janis: Maybe I should show Bellami around.

[2/7/2014 11:15:04 PM] Janis: And get her some other clothes and stuff.

[2/7/2014 11:15:14 PM] Janis: Janis gets up

[2/7/2014 11:15:15 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I am not a coward, I will say it.

[2/7/2014 11:17:09 PM] Kestrel: Bellami: I retired from my position. I gave *much.* I gave everything and yes, I would like a child of my own now. And I am... shamed to admit the goddess has not smiled on me since. ... is that enough, for the proprieties to be met?

[2/7/2014 11:18:23 PM] Nation: Allys nods. "Yes.  With all the information, informed decisions can be made."

[2/7/2014 11:19:04 PM] Kestrel: Bellami nods regally, and turns and sweeps out.

[2/7/2014 11:19:35 PM] Wynn: That was... interesting. So! Bread?

[2/7/2014 11:20:07 PM] Nation: Allys goes back to baking bread!

[2/7/2014 11:20:10 PM] Kalor: Usually we do not require that much information even on our own plane. So yeah, way to be a douche there Allys.

[2/7/2014 11:20:24 PM] Wynn: Kalor!

[2/7/2014 11:20:30 PM] Kalor: Wait, what does this have to do with me?

[2/7/2014 11:20:39 PM] Kalor: ...

[2/7/2014 11:20:41 PM] Janis: Janis sits very still, very unsure what to say

[2/7/2014 11:20:43 PM] Wynn: Is it so wrong to protect your brother?

[2/7/2014 11:20:44 PM] Nilani: Nilani slumps down, resting her chest on the table, holding her book in front of her face. "Welp, I'm glad that little bit of awkwardness is over with."

[2/7/2014 11:20:45 PM] Kalor: Oh no.

[2/7/2014 11:20:51 PM] Wynn: Janis, maybe you should go with her.

[2/7/2014 11:21:04 PM | Edited 11:22:24 PM] Janis: Yeah.

[2/7/2014 11:21:14 PM] Wynn: ((she's already gone))

[2/7/2014 11:21:14 PM] Janis: Janis tries to lead Bellami out of the room.

[2/7/2014 11:21:34 PM] Kestrel: She's way gone.

[2/7/2014 11:21:43 PM] Kalor: But who will protect me?

[2/7/2014 11:22:00 PM] Wynn: Do you need it?

[2/7/2014 11:22:05 PM] Janis: Janis leaves after Bellami

[2/7/2014 11:22:14 PM] Nation: Allys:  You are capable of protecting yourself and making an informed decision, now.

[2/7/2014 11:22:53 PM] Wynn: It is quite underhanded to feign interest in someone solely wanting them for a child.

[2/7/2014 11:23:39 PM] Wynn: Though she may not have been feigning, at least now you know the possibility.

[2/7/2014 11:24:32 PM] Kalor: I was probably happier when I did not know she was interested.

[2/7/2014 11:24:38 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) enters the Galley with Larry.

[2/7/2014 11:24:46 PM] Wynn: Hello.

[2/7/2014 11:24:52 PM | Edited 11:25:24 PM] Nilani: Nilani waves at the two of them, still slumped over on the table.

[2/7/2014 11:24:59 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Hello, friends.

[2/7/2014 11:25:38 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) waves at Nilani. "Hi. I assume our guest is being situated?"

[2/7/2014 11:25:47 PM] Wynn: Indeed.

[2/7/2014 11:26:26 PM] Kalor: And now I am even more interested in that invisibility spell, namely, how long does it last?

[2/7/2014 11:26:41 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) looks at Kalor, somewhat confused.

[2/7/2014 11:26:43 PM] Wynn: Wynn raises an eyebrow.

[2/7/2014 11:26:45 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): What happened?

[2/7/2014 11:26:52 PM] Nilani: Three minutes

[2/7/2014 11:26:59 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Kalor, blinking in a confused manner. ".....Until you attack, directly, or until about... three minutes. So if y-"

[2/7/2014 11:27:14 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods.

[2/7/2014 11:27:39 PM] Kalor: Oh believe me, if ih ave to use it this time, I won't be attacking.

[2/7/2014 11:27:52 PM] Wynn: .........

[2/7/2014 11:28:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Did we miss something?

[2/7/2014 11:28:01 PM] Kalor: I also need to memorize expeditious retreat...

[2/7/2014 11:28:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ......What happened?

[2/7/2014 11:28:11 PM] Wynn: Oh.

[2/7/2014 11:28:27 PM] Wynn: I thought you were headed in an entirely different direction.

[2/7/2014 11:30:07 PM] Nation: Allys:  I told the new arrival that she shouldn't consider my brother as a possible donor in her quest to have child. I was apparently very rude.

[2/7/2014 11:30:25 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I... see.

[2/7/2014 11:30:36 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): .......And what does that have to do with K- ..................oh.

[2/7/2014 11:30:37 PM] Nation: Allys puts the bread in the oven.

[2/7/2014 11:30:52 PM] Kalor: Exactly

[2/7/2014 11:30:57 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry and *slightly* edges closer to him.

[2/7/2014 11:31:00 PM] Kalor: Well put

[2/7/2014 11:32:39 PM] Nation: Allys shrugs. "I don't much care how people feel about me.  I'm sure you've thought of me in much worse terms than 'rude'.  Or even 'douche'."

[2/7/2014 11:33:02 PM] Kalor: "Walking freezer unit" comes to mind.

[2/7/2014 11:33:13 PM] Wynn: Wynn stares at Kalor.

[2/7/2014 11:33:35 PM] Kalor: What? She took the words out of my mouth?

[2/7/2014 11:34:22 PM] Wynn: There is no need to pile on. What's said is said.

[2/7/2014 11:34:56 PM] Nation: Allys shrugs a bit. "Again, I don't really care.  My own path is hard enough that if I worried what people thought about me at all times, I'd never take another step."

[2/7/2014 11:35:41 PM] Kalor: That is an admirable sentiment though.

[2/7/2014 11:36:04 PM] Wynn: Thank you for showing me your bread recipe, Allys.

[2/7/2014 11:36:45 PM] Nation: Allys nods. "It's a simple recipe.  Easy to do in a camp."

[2/7/2014 11:37:47 PM] Nation: Allys: I assume the library is free of invaders.

[2/7/2014 11:38:00 PM] Nilani: For now.

[2/7/2014 11:38:02 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): So far as we know.

[2/7/2014 11:38:29 PM] Nation: Allys:  Then I'll take my leave.

[2/7/2014 11:38:33 PM] Nation: She leaves!

[2/7/2014 11:38:40 PM] Wynn: Wynn frowns a little.

[2/7/2014 11:38:53 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks after her and then at Wynn. "............What happened, exactly?"

[2/7/2014 11:39:12 PM] Kalor: Everyone was terribly rude to each other.

[2/7/2014 11:39:19 PM] Wynn: Bellami wants a child. Allys told her not to look at Tarak.

[2/7/2014 11:39:40 PM] Kalor: And that only turned her attentions on me.

[2/7/2014 11:39:48 PM] Kalor: I fear.

[2/7/2014 11:39:56 PM] Wynn: Wynn shakes her head. "She was already looking at you."

[2/7/2014 11:40:05 PM] Kalor: Kalor shudders

[2/7/2014 11:40:17 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): You dislike attention?

[2/7/2014 11:40:39 PM] Wynn: It was only at my mention of Tarak's.... flirtaciousness that Allys saw her potential predatory nature.

[2/7/2014 11:41:07 PM] Kalor: Attention no, but children?

[2/7/2014 11:42:14 PM] Wynn: Did you two see Kestrel or Jhett at all while you were away?

[2/7/2014 11:42:23 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....I do not see how it is predatory of her to wish for a child. No, I did not.

[2/7/2014 11:42:34 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Nope.

[2/7/2014 11:42:54 PM] Wynn: You don't think it is wrong to chase after someone for the sole purpose of obtaining a child, without care for how the other person may feel about it?

[2/7/2014 11:43:09 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): .......That is an entirely different scenario.

[2/7/2014 11:43:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns.

[2/7/2014 11:43:21 PM] Wynn: That, I believe, is what Allys saw.

[2/7/2014 11:43:23 PM] Kalor: Just another bangle...

[2/7/2014 11:43:40 PM] Wynn: No, this child would be hers, not for her goddess.

[2/7/2014 11:44:02 PM] Kalor: So is that better or worse?

[2/7/2014 11:44:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): .....I am still uncertain as to what exactly she does to give a child to her Goddess.

[2/7/2014 11:44:12 PM] Wynn: Neither.

[2/7/2014 11:44:39 PM] Wynn: From the sounds of it, the same thing anyone does.

[2/7/2014 11:44:59 PM] Kalor: One would assume they are gifted to the church and raised as clergy.

[2/7/2014 11:45:13 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry. "......................................."

[2/7/2014 11:45:16 PM] Wynn: You'd have to ask her.

[2/7/2014 11:45:22 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ...Well, I can't say as I would have seen anything like this around Maninaata.

[2/7/2014 11:45:57 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) grins at Lira, until Kalor's statement sinks in, at which point he becomes rather somber.

[2/7/2014 11:46:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) gives him a light hug, trying not to make the situation uncomfortable, but also wanting to make him feel better.

[2/7/2014 11:47:06 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) hugs Lira back, in an appropriate fashion.

[2/7/2014 11:49:08 PM] Wynn: Wynn checks on the bread!

[2/7/2014 11:49:12 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles warmly. "Well, I suppose we better warn Gnarmak, if what Allys fears may have truth."

[2/7/2014 11:49:25 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed.

[2/7/2014 11:50:49 PM] Wynn: Still, I don't think you need to be so hard on Allys, Kalor.

[2/7/2014 11:51:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....And you do not need to be so hard on Kalor.

[2/7/2014 11:52:14 PM] Wynn: Was I?

[2/7/2014 11:52:25 PM] Kalor: Was she?

[2/7/2014 11:53:07 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) sighs. "........Nevermind, I guess."

[2/7/2014 11:53:39 PM] Wynn: All I'm saying is that you don't know the kind of stress and pressures she has to live with. Sometimes walls are the only way to survive it.

[2/7/2014 11:54:32 PM] Kalor: Apparently

[2/7/2014 11:55:17 PM] Wynn: Wynn pulls the bread out! ((because hopefully it's done by now!))

[2/7/2014 11:55:45 PM] Nation: Yep.

[2/7/2014 11:56:10 PM] Wynn: .... I guess it's bread and fruit tonight.

[2/7/2014 11:56:32 PM] Wynn: Unless someone wants to teach me how to cook something else.

[2/7/2014 11:56:35 PM] Wynn: Wynn smiles.

[2/7/2014 11:57:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) shrugs. "Not much of a cook myself, unfortunately."

[2/7/2014 11:58:07 PM] Nation: ((I am going to sign off as I need sleep. Kali will oversee remaining squishy stuff.))

[2/7/2014 11:59:14 PM] Kestrel: ((Yep!))

[2/7/2014 11:59:34 PM] Wynn: I think I'll go check on Kestrel and Jhett since nobody's seen them.

[2/7/2014 11:59:39 PM] Lira: Lira shakes her head. "Unfortunately, I do not know how to cook either."

[2/8/2014 12:04:22 AM] Wynn: Nation, can you let everyone know dinner will be ready shortly?

[2/8/2014 12:04:58 AM] Wynn: Wynn looks in the box and pulls out some rabbit and some vegetables, almost at random.

[2/8/2014 12:05:21 AM] Wynn: Hmmm....

[2/8/2014 12:05:39 AM] Wynn: Wynn chop-chops the veggies and cuts the rabbit pieces a bit smaller then tosses it all in the pot!

[2/8/2014 12:06:14 AM] Wynn: This *might* turn out terrible.

[2/8/2014 12:06:38 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Fair enough. More than I'd know to do.

[2/8/2014 12:06:42 AM] Wynn: Wynn hums a song while she pretends to cook.

[2/8/2014 12:07:18 AM] Nilani: Nilani shuts her book and rubs her temples for a bit.

[2/8/2014 12:07:22 AM] Nilani: bleh.

[2/8/2014 12:07:34 AM] Wynn: I'm sorry. Do you not like that song?

[2/8/2014 12:07:36 AM] Lira: .....You alright, Nilani?

[2/8/2014 12:08:07 AM] Nilani: The song's nice, I just don't feel like staring at this book any more, today.

[2/8/2014 12:08:53 AM] Nilani: Maybe I'll just keep it on hand in case I write something again while Kes isn't around.

[2/8/2014 12:09:10 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel peeks in.

[2/8/2014 12:09:20 AM] Wynn: Wynn stirs the pot.

[2/8/2014 12:09:23 AM | Edited 12:09:49 AM] Nilani: Nilani smiles warmly and waves at Kes, still slumped over on the table.

[2/8/2014 12:09:25 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Hello, friend Kestrel.

[2/8/2014 12:09:37 AM] Lira: Hi Kes... I hope you are alright?

[2/8/2014 12:10:01 AM] Kestrel: Adequate. Jhett is sleeping. He seems to have an allergy to Drow poison.

[2/8/2014 12:10:09 AM] Wynn: Kestrel, do you know how to make stew?

[2/8/2014 12:10:13 AM] Lira: You were attacked as well...

[2/8/2014 12:10:18 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ?

[2/8/2014 12:10:24 AM] Wynn: Also, that is sad to hear. I hope he will be ok.

[2/8/2014 12:10:24 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel: Yes.

[2/8/2014 12:10:38 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): That's terrible.

[2/8/2014 12:10:41 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel: ... provided I am trusted near food.

[2/8/2014 12:10:50 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel: He is fine; merely tired.

[2/8/2014 12:10:57 AM] Wynn: Why wouldn't you be? You've proven to be trustworthy.

[2/8/2014 12:11:12 AM] Wynn: *I* might kill us all with what I've put in this pot.

[2/8/2014 12:11:27 AM] Lira: Lira smiles goodnaturedly. "You only told us that you weren't responsible a half dozen times too many."

[2/8/2014 12:11:34 AM] Nilani: If you were going to kill us, I'm sure we'd be dead already.

[2/8/2014 12:11:51 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed, friend Kes.

[2/8/2014 12:13:17 AM] Wynn: Come, teach me.

[2/8/2014 12:13:26 AM] Kestrel: ... about what?

[2/8/2014 12:13:33 AM] Wynn: Stew.

[2/8/2014 12:13:54 AM] Wynn: I put some rabbit and some vegetables in here, but..... well it's not looking like stew.

[2/8/2014 12:14:50 AM] Kestrel: ... directly into it?

[2/8/2014 12:15:00 AM] Wynn: .....yes?

[2/8/2014 12:15:30 AM] Lira: Lira looks back and forth, looking a bit hungry!

[2/8/2014 12:16:33 AM] Kestrel: ... perhaps we could remove the meat and brown it first.

[2/8/2014 12:16:48 AM] Wynn: Oh. Ok.

[2/8/2014 12:17:21 AM] Wynn: Well... it's kinda just sitting at the bottom of the pot. Does that count?

[2/8/2014 12:17:30 AM] Wynn: There's no... water or anything in it.

[2/8/2014 12:17:32 AM] Kestrel: ...

[2/8/2014 12:17:41 AM] Kestrel: Ah.

[2/8/2014 12:17:58 AM] Kestrel: Yes, that will work. I believe we need some flour.

[2/8/2014 12:18:22 AM] Lira: Lira helps get ingredients!

[2/8/2014 12:19:04 AM] Wynn: Wynn smiles.

[2/8/2014 12:19:05 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel soon gets the attempted stew going in a more stew-y direction, and adds some other things to the mix--peppers, along with the onions and potatoes and carrots that were there.

[2/8/2014 12:19:44 AM] Wynn: This could have been a very interesting meal.

[2/8/2014 12:19:47 AM] Wynn: Wynn laughs.

[2/8/2014 12:20:15 AM] Kestrel: It would merely have been a different meal. Pan-fried meat and vegetables.

[2/8/2014 12:21:23 AM] Wynn: I should have learned to cook long, long ago.

[2/8/2014 12:21:41 AM] Kestrel: My mentor at the Academy was a cook.

[2/8/2014 12:21:56 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Interesting.

[2/8/2014 12:21:56 AM] Wynn: The one who taught you poisons?

[2/8/2014 12:22:01 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel nods.

[2/8/2014 12:22:06 AM] Kestrel: And the concealing of them within food.

[2/8/2014 12:22:19 AM] Wynn: Wynn grins a little.

[2/8/2014 12:22:24 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I suppose that makes sense.

[2/8/2014 12:22:37 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) smiles lightly.

[2/8/2014 12:22:45 AM] Lira: Lira blinks. "I wonder if such concealment would hide them from Detect Poison."

[2/8/2014 12:23:40 AM | Edited 12:24:05 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): It would appear not.

[2/8/2014 12:23:55 AM] Wynn: I don't know why it would.

[2/8/2014 12:23:59 AM] Wynn: The poison would still be present.

[2/8/2014 12:24:00 AM] Kestrel: No.

[2/8/2014 12:24:20 AM] Kestrel: Poisons are not to be used in cases where they could be detected with magic.

[2/8/2014 12:24:30 AM] Lira: Lira nods.

[2/8/2014 12:25:40 AM | Edited 12:25:44 AM] Wynn: Wynn pats Kestrel on the shoulder almost absent-mindedly. "Thanks for rescuing the stew."

[2/8/2014 12:26:46 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel stiffens a bit, and then relaxes. "I am glad to assist. ... I have few useful skills that do not involve assassination, however."

[2/8/2014 12:27:10 AM] Wynn: Well, you're the only one in this kitchen who knows how to cook. That's pretty useful.

[2/8/2014 12:27:28 AM] Lira: Lira nods more!

[2/8/2014 12:27:45 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) agrees as well.

[2/8/2014 12:27:55 AM] Wynn: ...... did you have issues with the drider?

[2/8/2014 12:29:08 AM] Kestrel: ... I was merely uncertain as to how it had perished. My weapon only does nonlethal damage.

[2/8/2014 12:29:18 AM] Wynn: Really?

[2/8/2014 12:29:23 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel nods.

[2/8/2014 12:29:37 AM] Wynn: A sword? That's... intriguing.

[2/8/2014 12:29:43 AM] Nilani: Nilani sits up and looks over inquisitively.

[2/8/2014 12:29:43 AM] Kestrel: It clearly attacked, so no punishment will follow; however, I wish to ensure it does not happen again.

[2/8/2014 12:30:01 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I looked it over. It seemed... drained, weakened somehow.

[2/8/2014 12:30:12 AM] Lira: ....That was Kestrel's weapon?

[2/8/2014 12:30:35 AM] Kestrel: Doubtful. It does not drain energy.

[2/8/2014 12:31:07 AM] Lira: Anything capable of draining a Drider... is something quite dangerous.

[2/8/2014 12:31:17 AM] Wynn: Wynn sort of stares off into space.

[2/8/2014 12:32:41 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed. That thing was remarkably dangerous, even as it was. I shudder to think what did that to it.

[2/8/2014 12:32:45 AM] Kestrel: It was not me. ... however, if the sword is dealing fatal damage I would prefer to be aware of it.

[2/8/2014 12:33:26 AM | Edited 12:33:56 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I didn't mean to imply it was, friend Kes. I just thought you might like to know, since you noticed how *easily* we were able to dispatch it, and then went to check on Jhett.

[2/8/2014 12:33:37 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel nods.

[2/8/2014 12:33:43 AM] Lira: Lira smiles.

[2/8/2014 12:33:51 AM] Kestrel: ... he seems unaccountably fond of me.

[2/8/2014 12:34:08 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) smiles.

[2/8/2014 12:35:07 AM] Lira: Lira half-shrugs. "Raven.... told me he could tell me about the mysteries of such, although only in a song."

[2/8/2014 12:35:42 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Of fondness, or the draining of life force?

[2/8/2014 12:35:50 AM] Lira: Unaccountable fondness

[2/8/2014 12:36:06 AM] Kestrel: We play together frequently.

[2/8/2014 12:36:22 AM] Lira: Certainly a good bonding experience

[2/8/2014 12:36:50 AM] Kestrel: ... I do not think bondage is required.

[2/8/2014 12:36:55 AM] Lira: ...........................

[2/8/2014 12:37:05 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel frowns.

[2/8/2014 12:37:18 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I can imagine. The temple wasn't big on music, though, so I wouldn't know.

[2/8/2014 12:37:48 AM] Lira: Lira frowns at Kestrel. "Bonding..... has another, more common meaning. Such as the bonds of friendship."

[2/8/2014 12:38:17 AM] Kestrel: ... I do not think friends require such securing to one another.

[2/8/2014 12:38:33 AM] Lira: Lira looks at Larry for help.

[2/8/2014 12:38:44 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): They're metaphorical bonds, friend Kes.

[2/8/2014 12:38:52 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Woah, I missed the bondage? Did you people learn to have fun when my back was turned?

[2/8/2014 12:39:05 AM] Lira: Lira is all the not amused.

[2/8/2014 12:39:12 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Ohh boy.

[2/8/2014 12:39:14 AM] Wynn: Wynn blinks several times and slightly shakes her head.

[2/8/2014 12:39:14 AM] Nilani: Nilani facepalms

[2/8/2014 12:39:20 AM] Wynn: What?

[2/8/2014 12:39:37 AM] Lira: Lira, ignornig Tarak. "...........You okay, Wynn?"

[2/8/2014 12:39:52 AM] Wynn: Wynn smiles. "Yes, just... a lot on my mind lately."

[2/8/2014 12:40:12 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) frowns at that one.

[2/8/2014 12:40:14 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel: ... I do not think it is required for fun, either.

[2/8/2014 12:40:26 AM] Lira: Lira groans.

[2/8/2014 12:40:35 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Yeah, sorry 'bout my contribution to that. Somethin' smells good.

[2/8/2014 12:40:57 AM] Wynn: Kestrel is teaching me how to make stew.

[2/8/2014 12:41:05 AM] Wynn: And your sister taught me how to bake bread.

[2/8/2014 12:41:28 AM] Wynn: Hmmm... bread, stew, tarts, soon I'll be able to actually fend for myself.

[2/8/2014 12:41:40 AM] Lira: Lira grins.

[2/8/2014 12:41:52 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Not half bad of a repertoire. Where'd Allys get to, anyhow?

[2/8/2014 12:42:00 AM] Wynn: Library I think.

[2/8/2014 12:42:45 AM] Lira: Lira looks at Tarak. "....You mean you aren't trying to avoid her?"

[2/8/2014 12:43:23 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Hell no. Why would I do that?

[2/8/2014 12:44:14 AM] Kestrel: Tarak picks up a piece of bread, and with his mouth half-full, says "''case you didn't notice, mostly *she* avoids *me.*"

[2/8/2014 12:44:37 AM] Lira: Lira frowns. ".....My mistake, then."

[2/8/2014 12:44:56 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Can't claim I don't know why.

[2/8/2014 12:45:06 AM] Wynn: Wynn frowns.

[2/8/2014 12:45:44 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel: ... the drider was dispatched. Did he retain any implements of poisoning?

[2/8/2014 12:46:25 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): There were some vials that I assume were poison. They're in the weapons storage, along with the ring, the bolts, and the hand crossbow.

[2/8/2014 12:46:39 AM] Wynn: Wynn raises an eyebrow at Larry.

[2/8/2014 12:47:54 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel: ... I would like to inspect these items, please. Tell me where.

[2/8/2014 12:48:20 AM] Wynn: Oh, that reminds me, Kestrel....

[2/8/2014 12:48:35 AM] Wynn: Thanks also for the assistance this morning. You seem to know your way around armor.

[2/8/2014 12:48:44 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel nods.

[2/8/2014 12:49:12 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel: I have been thoroughly trained in its use and weak points.

[2/8/2014 12:49:23 AM] Wynn: Wynn grins a little again.

[2/8/2014 12:49:25 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel, to Wynn. "Stir in 20 minutes. Check the vegetables for doneness; if they are done the stew is ready to eat."

[2/8/2014 12:49:39 AM] Wynn: Wynn nods.

[2/8/2014 12:49:49 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): The items we took off the drider are in the training room with the other weapons we picked up.

[2/8/2014 12:51:48 AM] Lira: Lira stands, departing after a few simple words. "I go now to trance, today has been.... taxing. Goodnight."

[2/8/2014 12:51:51 AM] Kestrel: Kestrel nods, and heads off to the room.

[2/8/2014 12:51:54 AM] Wynn: Good night.

[2/8/2014 12:52:08 AM] Wynn: It's just a *little* disarming when she says things like that.

[2/8/2014 12:52:08 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: See ya, sweetheart.

[2/8/2014 12:52:12 AM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Good night, friend Lira.

[2/8/2014 12:52:17 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Says what?

[2/8/2014 12:52:28 AM] Wynn: Kestrel, about my armor.

[2/8/2014 12:53:17 AM] Wynn: After I was poisoned this morning, she helped me get into my armor.

[2/8/2014 12:53:52 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Yeah?

[2/8/2014 12:54:26 AM] Wynn: Wynn shrugs. "Just a little odd to hear it's because she studied the weak points."

[2/8/2014 12:54:45 AM] Kestrel: Tarak takes a slug from his flask. "Well, that's Academy for ya."

[2/8/2014 12:55:47 AM] Wynn: Wynn eyes the flask.

[2/8/2014 12:55:58 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: What?

[2/8/2014 12:56:09 AM] Wynn: Have you given any thought to our arrangement?

[2/8/2014 12:57:27 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Mm. Not yet. I don't know what'd break ya, or what would near-to.

[2/8/2014 12:58:09 AM] Wynn: Wynn nods. "I've already done about as much damage as can be done to myself, or through my training. Not sure there's anything left *to* break."

[2/8/2014 12:58:51 AM] Kestrel: Tarak taps his head. "There's always something left to break."

[2/8/2014 12:59:45 AM] Wynn: I spoke to Allys. You're not quite as "simple" as you claim.

[2/8/2014 12:59:52 AM] Wynn: Wynn stirs the stew.

[2/8/2014 1:00:00 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Ahh, hell, what'd she say?

[2/8/2014 1:00:26 AM] Kestrel: He puts his feet on the table, with a piece of bread in his hand.

[2/8/2014 1:00:33 AM] Wynn: You two make quite the pair. All sorts of mess.

[2/8/2014 1:01:31 AM | Edited 1:01:34 AM] Wynn: One liked it and won't do it. The other hated it, but won't stop.

[2/8/2014 1:02:10 AM] Wynn: Wynn shakes her head sadly and pulls a carrot up with a spoon to test the tenderness.

[2/8/2014 1:02:21 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: I took an *oath*.

[2/8/2014 1:02:30 AM] Wynn: I know.

[2/8/2014 1:02:44 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: What should I say, "oh, sorry, I didn't *mean* it?"

[2/8/2014 1:03:01 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Words mean things.

[2/8/2014 1:03:09 AM] Wynn: Wynn pulls the pot off the fire and ladles some into a couple bowls, passing it around to anyone who's left.

[2/8/2014 1:03:18 AM] Kestrel: ((Nomsteeeeeeew.))

[2/8/2014 1:03:25 AM] Wynn: Wynn takes a bowl for herself and sits down.

[2/8/2014 1:03:36 AM] Wynn: You don't have to explain oaths to me.

[2/8/2014 1:03:38 AM] Wynn: I get it.

[2/8/2014 1:04:03 AM] Nilani: Nilani grabs a bowl.

[2/8/2014 1:04:37 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Well, seems pretty simple to me, then.

[2/8/2014 1:05:09 AM] Kestrel: He sits up, takes a bowl and eats. "... might be enough pepper in here to kill somebody."

[2/8/2014 1:05:23 AM] Wynn: Wynn smiles. "Kestrel seasoned it."

[2/8/2014 1:05:25 AM] Kestrel: (It is, in fact, quite spicy.)

[2/8/2014 1:05:55 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... yeah, that'd conceal just about any poison I can think of. Good thing there's bread.

[2/8/2014 1:06:02 AM] Wynn: Wynn dips some bread in the stew and eats it. ((Yum!!))

[2/8/2014 1:06:38 AM] Wynn: I wish I knew how to help.

[2/8/2014 1:07:07 AM] Kestrel: ((It is pretty good! Kestrel knows how to cook stew.))

[2/8/2014 1:07:19 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Help what?

[2/8/2014 1:07:38 AM] Wynn: Wynn gives him a look like "You *know* what."

[2/8/2014 1:08:33 AM] Wynn: Help *you*, obviously.

[2/8/2014 1:08:42 AM] Wynn: And in so doing, help Allys too.

[2/8/2014 1:08:54 AM] Wynn: That's kinda what we *do*, you know... help people.

[2/8/2014 1:09:31 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: What, the agreement we made? ... yeah, it is, but I don't know that I need help. Gettin' along fine, mostly.

[2/8/2014 1:10:05 AM] Wynn: If you think you can call it that.

[2/8/2014 1:11:08 AM] Wynn: I wasn't just referring to the agreement, though.

[2/8/2014 1:11:21 AM] Wynn: Have you tried an atonement spell?

[2/8/2014 1:11:34 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... a spell, what for?

[2/8/2014 1:11:44 AM] Wynn: I'm not sure if it would work considering the circumstances.

[2/8/2014 1:12:04 AM] Wynn: To help you atone for the things you can't forget.

[2/8/2014 1:13:00 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Don't know how to cast that one. Besides, none of it was *technically* wrong, remember?

[2/8/2014 1:13:17 AM] Wynn: Wynn nods. "That's why I said I wasn't sure if it would work."

[2/8/2014 1:13:52 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Hey, Nilani, you think I'm desperately in need of help of some kind?

[2/8/2014 1:13:52 AM] Wynn: Wynn sighs.

[2/8/2014 1:14:07 AM] Wynn: Wynn smiles.

[2/8/2014 1:14:12 AM] Nilani: 'most everyone is.

[2/8/2014 1:14:33 AM] Nilani: Nilani stoically eats some more stew.

[2/8/2014 1:14:51 AM] Wynn: Wynn tries unsuccessfully to hide her grin.

[2/8/2014 1:15:27 AM] Wynn: If there was a way to forget, would you stop drinking?

[2/8/2014 1:15:43 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... how much did Allys tell you?

[2/8/2014 1:15:58 AM] Wynn: .....enough.

[2/8/2014 1:16:29 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Can't be, you asked.

[2/8/2014 1:17:01 AM] Wynn: She said she's tried everything she can think of to help you stop... but not what she's done to stop the cause.

[2/8/2014 1:17:09 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... can't stop drinking. Damn near killed me the last time.

[2/8/2014 1:17:28 AM] Wynn: Wynn frowns.

[2/8/2014 1:18:19 AM] Wynn: Well that's not good.

[2/8/2014 1:18:54 AM] Kestrel: Tarak shrugs. "Seizures and the like. I don't remember it *real* well. Most of what I *do* remember mighta maybe been hallucinations."

[2/8/2014 1:19:32 AM] Wynn: There's got to be some sort of magic that can help with that.

[2/8/2014 1:19:47 AM | Edited 1:19:51 AM] Wynn: I mean.. people can regrow arms if they can pay for it.

[2/8/2014 1:20:25 AM] Wynn: I assume that's what Allys has been searching for in the library.

[2/8/2014 1:20:40 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Prob'ly. She's been workin' on it for a good long time now.

[2/8/2014 1:21:32 AM] Wynn: You never told her you didn't follow because you wouldn't break your oath?

[2/8/2014 1:22:08 AM] Kestrel: Tarak shrugs. "It'd sound like I didn't think mucha her decision, wouldn't it? Best not to say it."

[2/8/2014 1:22:36 AM] Wynn: So you didn't want her to think you thought less of her.

[2/8/2014 1:22:56 AM] Wynn: Meanwhile you're both making up things to blame on yourselves, thinking it will lessen the blame on each other.

[2/8/2014 1:23:03 AM] Wynn: But really, you're just creating more.

[2/8/2014 1:24:13 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Well it's not her fault, dammit.

[2/8/2014 1:24:23 AM] Wynn: *She* thinks it is.

[2/8/2014 1:24:50 AM] Wynn: She thinks without her you'd be happy at home with a wife and kids and a dog.

[2/8/2014 1:25:54 AM] Kestrel: Tarak stares at Wynn, and then laughs.

[2/8/2014 1:25:59 AM] Wynn: While we're on the topic of what she told me, she also thinks you're an idealist and an idiot.

[2/8/2014 1:26:06 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Wife and kids and a *dog.* A *dog*? A dog.

[2/8/2014 1:26:07 AM] Wynn: But apparently that goes for me too.

[2/8/2014 1:26:17 AM] Wynn: Yes. She specifically mentioned the dog.

[2/8/2014 1:26:23 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: The hell did that come from?

[2/8/2014 1:26:36 AM] Wynn: Wynn shrugs. "She said you like dogs."

[2/8/2014 1:26:52 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Who the hell *doesn't* like dogs?

[2/8/2014 1:27:49 AM] Wynn: Apparently your sister.

[2/8/2014 1:27:52 AM] Wynn: Wynn smiles.

[2/8/2014 1:28:05 AM] Wynn: Though she took to Flamey well.

[2/8/2014 1:28:37 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: She loves animals, she just doesn't wanna look like a wuss.

[2/8/2014 1:28:49 AM] Wynn: Wynn smiles broadly.

[2/8/2014 1:29:09 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Me, married. Yeah, right.

[2/8/2014 1:29:11 AM] Wynn: Finally something that lines up with what I see.

[2/8/2014 1:30:03 AM] Wynn: Wynn shrugs. "You don't know how you would have wound up had you stayed home."

[2/8/2014 1:31:24 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... yeah, guess I can't rule it *out.* Sure as hell wouldn't do somethin' like that now.

[2/8/2014 1:31:54 AM] Wynn: Wynn shakes her head. "Not exactly fair to subject a family to this kind of life."

[2/8/2014 1:33:20 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Or me, yeah. Pretty much.

[2/8/2014 1:34:30 AM] Wynn: Wynn eats more stew.

[2/8/2014 1:35:23 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: I am *aware* that I'm a womanizing drunk, y'know.

[2/8/2014 1:35:41 AM] Wynn: Wynn snorts into her stew. "I'd hope so."

[2/8/2014 1:36:34 AM] Wynn: Speaking of, for your sister's sake, you might want to refrain from flirting with our new guest.

[2/8/2014 1:37:04 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Why? They hideous?

[2/8/2014 1:37:19 AM] Nilani: Haha. No.

[2/8/2014 1:37:22 AM] Wynn: No. Quite the opposite.

[2/8/2014 1:37:37 AM] Wynn: But your sister got into quite a fit with her.

[2/8/2014 1:37:49 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... what for?

[2/8/2014 1:37:54 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Over what?

[2/8/2014 1:38:02 AM] Wynn: She's looking for someone to give her a child.

[2/8/2014 1:38:41 AM] Kestrel: Tarak snorts. "I'm on herbs, kid. Be the last person to make any kinda parent, so I make sure I'm not."

[2/8/2014 1:39:11 AM] Wynn: Wynn shrugs. "Doesn't mean she wouldn't try. Just thought you should know."

[2/8/2014 1:39:59 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Besides, half the point is bein' able to leave aftewards and I don't know if you noticed, but this ship situation ain't conducive to that.

[2/8/2014 1:40:21 AM] Wynn: You can leave whenever you want.

[2/8/2014 1:40:24 AM] Wynn: Probably.

[2/8/2014 1:42:06 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: No, I can't. You an' me made an agreement, kid.

[2/8/2014 1:42:24 AM] Wynn: Wynn rolls her eyes. "Not talking about that."

[2/8/2014 1:42:38 AM] Wynn: How long do you expect that to last, anyway?

[2/8/2014 1:44:17 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: What, me training you? I don't know. 'til you get sick of bein' bossed around, I guess.

[2/8/2014 1:44:57 AM] Wynn: And here you claim you don't want to get attached.

[2/8/2014 1:46:08 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... well I'm sure as hell not marryin' you, kid.

[2/8/2014 1:46:31 AM] Wynn: That is *not* what I was getting at.

[2/8/2014 1:47:48 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Thank all the gods fer that.

[2/8/2014 1:48:27 AM] Wynn: However, you don't need to call me "kid" with every sentence. You were apparently fighting in a war at my age. You didn't consider yourself a kid then.

[2/8/2014 1:49:08 AM] Kestrel: Tarak rolls his eyes. "You *are* a kid. Yer all kids. Just about everybody on this ship is kids."

[2/8/2014 1:50:24 AM] Wynn: That just makes you old.

[2/8/2014 1:50:24 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: How old are you again?

[2/8/2014 1:50:33 AM] Wynn: Wynn grins.

[2/8/2014 1:50:35 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: You wound me, kid.

[2/8/2014 1:50:40 AM] Wynn: Seventeen. Probably.

[2/8/2014 1:51:06 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: You're young enough to *be* my kid.

[2/8/2014 1:51:45 AM] Wynn: Yeah and you're young enough to be an eighty-year-old's kid. Doesn't mean he'll call you "kid".

[2/8/2014 1:51:59 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Depends on if he's tryin' to be an asshole or not.

[2/8/2014 1:52:09 AM] Wynn: Wynn raises an eyebrow.

[2/8/2014 1:52:22 AM] Nilani: Nilani grins

[2/8/2014 1:52:23 AM] Wynn: So you're *trying* to be an asshole? Here I thought it was just natural charm.

[2/8/2014 1:53:15 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Well shoot, now I just feel unappreciated. It takes a lotta hard work to be this much of an asshole.

[2/8/2014 1:53:37 AM] Wynn: Wynn laughs. "Then maybe you should lay off. Save yourself some effort."

[2/8/2014 1:54:46 AM] Wynn: It wouldn't kill you to act like a normal, decent human being every now and again.

[2/8/2014 1:55:25 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Don't want anybody to get attached.

[2/8/2014 1:55:34 AM] Wynn: Wynn rolls her eyes.

[2/8/2014 1:55:53 AM] Wynn: It'll happen. Too bad. That's part of being a normal human being.

[2/8/2014 1:56:19 AM] Kestrel: Tarak snorts. "Haven't been one of those for a couple decades."

[2/8/2014 1:56:24 AM] Wynn: You and Allys can't just lock yourselves in a room for the rest of your lives, pretending nobody else is around.

[2/8/2014 1:57:23 AM] Wynn: Doesn't mean you have to go putting down roots, getting married or having kids.

[2/8/2014 1:57:35 AM] Wynn: But friends are good.

[2/8/2014 1:58:40 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... all right, let me ask you this. You know a lotta people like us? Holy knights, paladins, whatever you wanna call it?

[2/8/2014 1:58:49 AM] Wynn: ......No.

[2/8/2014 1:59:29 AM] Wynn: You're the first one I've ever actually *talked* to at length.

[2/8/2014 1:59:56 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Yeah, well, I never met one older'n'40.

[2/8/2014 2:00:25 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Way I figure it, I've about reached my expiration date.

[2/8/2014 2:00:29 AM] Wynn: Wynn smiles grimly. "There is no retirement plan for a paladin."

[2/8/2014 2:00:50 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Just a box and a hole in the dirt. Yep.

[2/8/2014 2:01:45 AM] Wynn: Maybe.....

[2/8/2014 2:01:54 AM] Wynn: Maybe that's where the problem is though.

[2/8/2014 2:02:14 AM] Wynn: Maybe you've had so *much* negative, but no positive to balance it out. No friends to share your happiness with.

[2/8/2014 2:02:35 AM] Wynn: Only Allys... and the two of you are so busy protecting each other from yourselves, there's no time for friendship.

[2/8/2014 2:03:02 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: You're assuming there *is* any. Besides, Allys is all right, you just don't know her as well as me.

[2/8/2014 2:03:15 AM] Wynn: I like her just fine.

[2/8/2014 2:03:27 AM] Wynn: Wynn smiles. "I liked her more than you when we first met."

[2/8/2014 2:03:50 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Well good, go on that way. Ask her to tell some dirty jokes sometime.

[2/8/2014 2:04:13 AM] Wynn: Wynn laughs quietly.

[2/8/2014 2:04:22 AM] Wynn: Ok, that one I have trouble imagining.

[2/8/2014 2:04:35 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: She tells 'em better'n'me, I can never remember the punchlines right.

[2/8/2014 2:05:09 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... she'd be better off without me, but she won't go an' I can't make 'er.

[2/8/2014 2:05:27 AM] Wynn: .....

[2/8/2014 2:05:56 AM] Wynn: She.... she feels responsible.

[2/8/2014 2:06:04 AM] Wynn: She thinks she failed you.

[2/8/2014 2:06:41 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... yeah, I figured it was somethin' like that. Still doesn't change the way things are.

[2/8/2014 2:07:02 AM] Wynn: Wynn smiles sadly. "She told me another story."

[2/8/2014 2:07:25 AM] Wynn: ...about a bunny when you were kids.

[2/8/2014 2:08:24 AM] Wynn: So just remember... I know your deepest, darkest secrets.

[2/8/2014 2:08:27 AM] Wynn: Wynn laughs.

[2/8/2014 2:08:45 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... damn.

[2/8/2014 2:09:17 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: You know, it's a whole lot harder beatin' somebody up when they don't fight back. And I'm never gonna find a snake to put on her pillow in here.

[2/8/2014 2:09:32 AM] Wynn: Wynn laughs.

[2/8/2014 2:09:50 AM] Nilani: Ask Talas.

[2/8/2014 2:09:57 AM] Wynn: Wynn laughs more!

[2/8/2014 2:10:33 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Well, maybe we're even for the rock, now.

[2/8/2014 2:10:46 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: You just keep that to yourself. I don't want anybody thinkin' I've gone soft.

[2/8/2014 2:10:55 AM] Wynn: *Gone*?

[2/8/2014 2:11:03 AM] Wynn: Wynn smiles.

[2/8/2014 2:11:48 AM] Wynn: I should get some sleep. Never know what fun stuff will come from the pods tomorrow. Try to get some yourself.

[2/8/2014 2:12:36 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: Sure, sure. See you tomorrow, I guess.

[2/8/2014 2:12:50 AM] Nilani: Nilani waves at Wynn as she leaves

[2/8/2014 2:12:52 AM] Wynn: Wynn nods. "Good night. Both of you."

[2/8/2014 2:14:02 AM] Kestrel: Tarak eyes Nilani. "And you'll keep quiet about *bunnies* if you know what's good for you."

[2/8/2014 2:14:10 AM] Kestrel: He gestures at her with a spoon.

[2/8/2014 2:14:31 AM] Nilani: Nilani nods and grins

[2/8/2014 2:14:35 AM] Kestrel: Tarak: ... gonna have to find more'n'one snake at this rate.

[2/8/2014 2:14:51 AM] Kestrel: He stands up, stretches a little bit, and heads out, with a "Later."

[2/8/2014 2:15:27 AM | Edited 2:19:59 AM] Nilani: Nilani waves as he leaves, waits for a minute or so, then whispers "I know where you sleep, so don't even try."
