[5:36:55 PM] Janis: ((I am going to feed flamey)) [5:37:07 PM] Janis: ((I assumed we would need a separate chat)) [5:37:45 PM] Janis: ((So, here we are)) [5:38:09 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Good thinking. I'm coming along, because I'm concerned with regards to what Allys is going to do once it comes to her attention that there's a hellhound on board, and because she really pissed Larry off.)) [5:38:21 PM] Kali: Flamey looks pretty cheerful, and much healthier than she initially did. She's not quite getting fat, but it looks like she's on her way there. [5:38:33 PM] Janis: Janis hands her the plate of bacon [5:38:38 PM] Janis: Thanks for the help, Larry. [5:39:02 PM] Kali: Flamey retoasts the bacon and gobbles it down. [5:39:41 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Not a problem, friend Janis. I have found little esteem for these visitors to the extent that I have met them so far. [5:39:59 PM | Edited 5:40:08 PM] Janis: If that means you think they're both jerks, me too. [5:40:13 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) smiles. [5:40:28 PM] Kali: Flamey: Arf! Arf, arf! [5:40:36 PM] Janis: I think Flamey agrees. [5:40:42 PM] Janis: Janis pets her [5:40:44 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): You're a good dog, Flamey. [5:40:58 PM] Janis: This does give me a chance to learn infernal though [5:41:08 PM] Janis: If I can get Jhett or Kes to teach me. [5:41:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): That should be good, so long as those jerks don't find Flamey first. [5:41:39 PM] Kali: Flamey almost licks Janis but dodges away at the last minute, tail wagging. [5:41:48 PM] Janis: If we make a map for her, maybe we should leave this room off. [5:42:21 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Here's hoping that'll be enough. If she walks by and notices the door, we will likely have a problem regardless. [5:42:36 PM] Janis: I'm trying to get Nation to promise not to let them in. [5:42:44 PM] Janis: But he seems to like them. [5:43:46 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Nation, please. I realize you have your reasons for keeping these people about for the time being, but please, don't let them in. [5:44:10 PM] Jhett: Nation's Voice:  I said I wouldn't and I won't. [5:44:22 PM] Janis: You said you could keep them out. [5:44:30 PM] Janis: Then you went back to doing other stuff. [5:44:54 PM] Jhett: Nation's voice:  I said I would keep the door locked unless one of you guys opened it. And I have. [5:45:03 PM] Janis: Thanks, Nation [5:45:19 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Very well, Nation. I wasn't fully aware of the situation. Thank you very, very much. [5:45:26 PM] Janis: ((I am sorry to do this, but I need to pee)) [5:45:34 PM] Janis: ((I will be right back, I promise)) [5:46:28 PM] Kali: Flamey scampers around Janis and Larry, nearly jumping up on both of them but avoiding it at the last minute. [5:47:36 PM] Janis: ((Back, sorry)) [5:47:57 PM] Janis: ((I forget, was Larry at the tavern when Lira was talking to Janis about magic?)) [5:48:21 PM] *** Kali added Lira the Wiz (Winnie) *** [5:48:34 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((I think so, but I'm not sure I was in on the conversation as such.)) [5:48:44 PM] Janis: ((Ah, ok)) [5:49:02 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) does a terrible job of sneaking into the storage area. [5:49:06 PM] Janis: ....Lira? [5:49:13 PM] Janis: .....what are you doing? [5:49:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Good morning, friend Lira. [5:49:21 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Hello Larry, Janis. [5:49:38 PM] Kali: Flamey goes up to Lira and almost but not quite jumps on her. [5:50:08 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles nervously. "Hi Flamey. I'm just hiding from the... wait, what is Larry doing here?" [5:50:26 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I needed to get away from that overbearing paladin. The other one. [5:50:36 PM] Janis: I don't think she is a paladin. [5:50:43 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods. "Then we are here for similar re- Huh?" [5:50:43 PM] Janis: She never said she was. [5:50:55 PM] Janis: She just said she served Bahamut. [5:51:04 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Okay, then. That overbearing follower of Bahamut. [5:51:05 PM] Janis: Larry serves his God, but isn't a paladin. [5:51:09 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns a little. "Hmm... I see." [5:51:41 PM] Janis: ((It's not metagaming. Janis was there for that and has a high enough Wisdom to pick up on this. :P)) [5:52:12 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Larry was definitely not there for that.)) [5:52:24 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry. "I'm fresh out of ideas for how to deal with these... 'guests'..." [5:52:30 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) says "guests" like a curse word. [5:52:31 PM] Janis: She is still a jerk. [5:52:41 PM] Janis: I don't know what to do either. [5:52:58 PM] Janis: But at least she doesn't have any real authority over us. [5:53:08 PM] Janis: Tarak can still abuse Wynn though. [5:53:21 PM] Kali: Flamey scampers around to everyone, each in turn. [5:53:32 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Nor do I, and thankfully, no she doesn't. But she does seem to be exerting some influence over friend Wynn. [5:53:39 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods. (Quietly) "I know of a town about half a day's trek from here." [5:53:41 PM] Janis: Janis pets Flamey again [5:53:50 PM] Janis: ...so? [5:54:36 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Flamey and then Janis. "Doesn't she burn... you? The town should have supplies. Also, we might be able to find out more about where the Paladin and his Nanny are from." [5:54:48 PM] Kali: Flamey carefully avoids crisping Janis. [5:54:49 PM] Janis: Only is she licks me. [5:54:57 PM] Janis: Also, gloves. [5:55:01 PM] Janis: Janis shows [5:55:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles. "Ah. I see." [5:55:18 PM] Kali: Flamey's tail goes whumpwhumpwhump on the deck. [5:56:05 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I think that is a good plan, friend Lira. Perhaps we can find people who know enough of these two to solve our situation. [5:56:38 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry. "And even if we don't, it should be worth a look around and a supply trip at the very least. Janis, what do you think?" [5:57:00 PM] Janis: Yeah, I guess that makes sense. [5:57:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Would you want to take Flamey? [5:57:11 PM] Janis: Into town? [5:57:15 PM] Janis: ...is that smart? [5:57:23 PM | Edited 5:57:34 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ....But we can't leave her. [5:57:31 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Who knows what they'll do to her. [5:57:33 PM] Janis: Nation will keep the door locked. [5:57:45 PM] Janis: No one can get in if we don't want them to. [5:57:50 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): We don't even have to lie about the situation. Allys did order us to pick up flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. [5:57:53 PM | Removed 5:58:18 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): This message has been removed. [5:57:57 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Sounds good. [5:58:09 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Janis, you're sneaky, right? Can you check the coast? [5:58:17 PM] Janis: Janis nods and goes to look [5:58:37 PM] Janis: Janis uses Stealth to try and sneak down to the galley without being seen [5:58:42 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Brb one moment)) [5:59:04 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Ouch.)) [5:59:06 PM] Janis: (13...that's porbably not good)) [5:59:14 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((back)) [5:59:41 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Well, like I said, we're not even lying about what we're off to do. Should be okay.)) [6:00:09 PM | Edited 6:00:16 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) turns to Larry. "Will you be able to protect Janis if anything goes... awry? I am not certain I can... I heard tales of a vicious pack of wolves..." [6:00:26 PM] Kali: Um. Let's just say she misses you by a hair. [6:00:36 PM] Janis: ((Right, got it.)) [6:00:53 PM] Janis: Janis comes running back [6:01:09 PM] Janis: I think they're getting ready to leave, we should close the door [6:01:33 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods and gives Larry a quick *look*. "Ok, let's go." [6:01:40 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Onwards. [6:02:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) will lead Larry and Janis to the door she used previously to sneak off Nation. [6:02:15 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) to Lira: I think we'll be fine, friend Lira. We are all capable. [6:02:19 PM] Janis: Janis waves goodbye to Flamey and shuts the door. [6:02:30 PM] Kali: Flamey barks. [6:02:33 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles warmly. [6:02:38 PM] Janis: Janis shushes flamey [6:02:44 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Gotta pull it out of the oven. Brb again.)) [6:02:56 PM] Janis: Janis follows the others to the secret door [6:02:59 PM] Kali: Flamey barks, not liking to be left alone! [6:03:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) follows Lira to the door. [6:03:14 PM] Janis: ((Now she decides to make noise!)) [6:03:29 PM] Janis: (( (angry) )) [6:03:47 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((If only we had levelled. I could have prepped and cast Silence.)) [6:03:48 PM] Kali: Well she is a dog. [6:03:56 PM] Janis: Janis follows Larry [6:03:56 PM] Kali: You head to the door. [6:04:57 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) heads in the direction the servergirl had pointed out to her, making sure to use the inn as a 'landmark'. [6:05:10 PM] Janis: Janis nods [6:05:17 PM] Janis: Janis and follows [6:05:25 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) follows as well. [6:07:05 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Do we make it to town without wolves?)) [6:07:09 PM] Kali: It's pouring cats and dogs outside, and it's quite dark outside. [6:07:18 PM] Janis: ((It rains animals on this world?)) [6:07:20 PM] Kali: The path is narrow, and it's also pretty muddy. [6:07:29 PM] Kali: What's your marching order? [6:07:34 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((I'm leading)) [6:07:38 PM | Edited 6:07:45 PM] Janis: ((I'm next)) [6:07:50 PM | Removed 6:08:18 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): This message has been removed. [6:08:06 PM] Janis: So, you came out here last night, Lira? [6:08:24 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): I came out to the inn, to ask about the area. [6:08:51 PM] Janis: That's smart... [6:09:04 PM] Kali: Lira, Janis, Larry. [6:09:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Aye..?)) [6:09:15 PM | Edited 6:09:20 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Yup.)) [6:10:06 PM] Janis: ((Indeed)) [6:10:21 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) whispers to Larry. "I would cast Light to help us see, but I don't want to attract any... well, you know.." [6:10:40 PM] Janis: Yeah, let's get a bit further away, first. [6:10:58 PM] Janis: Janis is taking careful stock of the area around her for landmarks)) [6:11:09 PM] Kali: It is dark. [6:11:14 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) whispers back. "That is a wise decision, friend Lira." [6:11:21 PM] Kali: You have not yet been eaten by a grue, but only because the damn things aren't statted. [6:11:27 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Too dark to see?)) [6:11:34 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Again, Zing!)) [6:11:37 PM] Kali: It is too dark to see where you are now. [6:11:45 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Even for Lira?)) [6:11:57 PM] Kali: Lira and Janis are having less trouble than Larry, but yeah, there's no light source here. [6:12:29 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) will cast Light on her quarterstaff once they've put a good bit of distance between them and Nation. [6:13:07 PM] Janis: ((Hey, Lira, were your legs always this hairy? :P)) [6:13:26 PM] Janis: ((Light goes on, surrounded by wolves, switches light off)) [6:14:06 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) makes sure Larry is following ok. [6:14:09 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): (( :P )) [6:14:18 PM] Kali: Nope. You're still just surrounded by forest. [6:14:21 PM] Kali: Trees. [6:14:32 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Am I following okay?)) [6:14:40 PM] Janis: ((And then, suddenly, SLENDERMAN!)) [6:14:57 PM] Kali: Now that the lights are on, sure. [6:15:01 PM] Janis: Larry, are you ok, back there? [6:15:48 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I think so, friend Lira. I'm not slowing us down too much, am I? [6:16:08 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): No. The girl said half a day, and she looked pretty human. [6:16:38 PM] Janis: I thought it was morning. [6:16:50 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Morning? [6:16:57 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Oh. Half a morning. [6:17:24 PM] Janis: No, I mean I thought it was morning now. Didn't we just come from breakfast? [6:17:54 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((But that's 'morning' on Nation, which is whenever we got done with sleeping, not morning on whatever plane we're attached to. Right?)) [6:18:13 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((I think it's full dark on the Plane. Or close.)) [6:18:52 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Ohh, so this is not a place where they'll worship Pelor. Oh well.)) [6:18:55 PM] Janis: ((Oh...ok)) [6:19:06 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Oh, I don't think it's morning wherever we landed this time around, Janis. [6:19:09 PM] Kali: It's pretty dark, but it might be daylight and just storming. [6:19:40 PM] Janis: Ok...maybe just the storm... [6:20:18 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles. "Yes, but the girl said we'd reach town by midmorning." [6:20:29 PM] Janis: Janis nods [6:20:48 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) continues plodding on...

[6:21:53 PM] Janis: ((Larry found a very interesting mud pile :P)) [6:22:11 PM | Edited 6:22:18 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Possibly found it with my face. :P)) [6:22:17 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Hehe)) [6:22:18 PM] Janis: (( :D )) [6:23:04 PM] Kali: Another Reflex save!

[6:25:33 PM] Janis: Janis leans over the pit [6:25:36 PM] Janis: ARE YOU OK?!? [6:25:51 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) falls into the pit, and is now unconcious and bleeding.

[6:28:29 PM] Janis: ((We no longer have use rope as a skill, but I am unsure if it got merged with something)) [6:28:29 PM] Kali: Yep. [6:28:42 PM] Janis: ((Sleight of Hand or something?))

[6:29:10 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Are you alright? Do you need further healing? [6:29:16 PM] Janis: Janis takes out her rope and ties it around a tree [6:29:17 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): You look far more hurt than I.

[6:37:07 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((How deep is the pit?)) [6:37:33 PM] Kali: 20 feet. [6:37:51 PM] Janis: ((FYI, only Janis knows there's someone up here)) [6:37:58 PM] Kali: Yep, that is correct.

RP it out, too. :) [6:54:43 PM] Janis: We are actually great ferocious dragons. [6:54:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) tries Draconic louder! "shafaer sia tiichi yth banprivi huven ekess dolruth erekess!" [6:55:11 PM] Kali: First Guy, Alarmed: Shit, they're the dragons? No one said the dragons were kids! ... do dragons come kid-sized? [6:55:15 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): We will crush your miserable bones in our jaws! [6:55:21 PM] Kali: Second Guy: They can look like anything they want! [6:55:27 PM] Kali: Woman: ... then why are you at the bottom of a pit? [6:55:45 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) curses in Draconic. [6:55:56 PM] Janis: We are waiting for you to come down, one by one. [6:56:02 PM] Janis: So we can eat you. [6:56:13 PM] Kali: Second Guy: I'm not going down there! [6:56:29 PM] Kali: There's some muffled whispering. [6:56:49 PM] Janis: Janis whispers "You guys have magic and stuff, right?" [6:56:53 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Fools, this was merely a test. You fell right into OUR trap! [6:57:01 PM] Kali: You hear snatches of "but then they have hoards," and then "claws" "teeth," "maybe they'll..." [6:57:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry and Janis, and kind of shrugs. (Whispering) "Only a little." [6:57:38 PM] Kali: First Guy: ... okay, uh, Mr. Dragon and Mrs. Dragon and uh, Kid Dragon, we're just gonna ru--I mean, leave peacefully and uh, you can just do whatever you want and uh, yeah, that. [6:58:03 PM] Kali: You hear a bunch of footsteps away from the pit, then running footsteps. [6:58:14 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) giggles softly. [6:58:15 PM] Kali: Then, finally, it's quiet, and you're in a pit in the rain. [6:58:27 PM] Janis: .............I cannot believe they bought that. [6:58:28 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Did I burn my cast of Summon Monster?)) [6:58:35 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Very nice...Quick thinking, Janis. [6:58:43 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) ponders the pit. "But how do we get out?" [6:58:54 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed, friend Janis. That was quite clever. [6:59:03 PM] Kali: Nope. [6:59:10 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((SWEET!)) [6:59:10 PM] Janis: I just can't believe they're that stupid. [6:59:20 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Worry not, friend Lira. I think I have a plan. [6:59:26 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry intently! [7:00:33 PM | Edited 7:00:40 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Friend Lira, do you speak Celestial? [7:00:53 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shakes her head. "I could understand it, if I cast a spell. But alas, I do not speak it." [7:01:33 PM | Edited 7:01:45 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Darkness! Then my plan will not work. I cannot command a celestial creature to do my bidding beyond attacking a foe if I summon it. [7:01:47 PM] Janis: ....can anyone here climb? [7:01:53 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shakes her head. [7:02:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Not particularly, no. [7:02:01 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): I'm sorry Larry. [7:02:17 PM] Janis: ......wait, the tree was about.....there (points to where she thinks it is. [7:02:31 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): It's not your fault, friend Lira. If I were only smarter, I would have learned it when I was still at the temple. [7:02:33 PM] Janis: Janis pick up the rope and begins tying one end around an arrow. [7:02:36 PM] Janis: ...so... [7:02:42 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) steps back from Janis to give her room. [7:02:52 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Friend Janis, you are full of good ideas today. [7:03:03 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) grabs the other end of the rope, and steps out of the way. [7:03:13 PM] Janis: Janis arms the bow and fires [7:03:27 PM] Janis: ((10...shit)) [7:03:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((At least you can pull it back and try again)) [7:03:48 PM] Kali: At first it appears to have worked, but then it turns out the arrow just got caught in some bushes. [7:03:54 PM] Kali: Janis can pull it back again easily, though. [7:04:07 PM] Janis: Janis rearms and fires with small force [7:04:19 PM] Janis: ((14, better)) [7:04:48 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry. "I don't know if either of us can lift you, even together. Would you like to try to go climb first?" [7:05:21 PM] Kali: The arrow hits a tree with a satisfying "plunk." [7:05:25 PM] Janis: HA! [7:05:33 PM] Janis: Janis gives it some test tugs [7:05:40 PM] Janis: ...I think we got it this time. [7:05:44 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Great! [7:06:05 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Well done, friend Janis! Sure, I'll give it a try. [7:06:09 PM] Kali: It may possibly hold Janis's weight. [7:06:20 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Or we could do that.)) [7:06:20 PM] Janis: Actually, let me go first [7:06:28 PM] Janis: ((Is this climb?)) [7:06:40 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Oh, right. You can tie it sturdier. [7:06:44 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Sorry Larry. [7:06:48 PM] Kali: It is climb. [7:06:59 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) will assist Janis! [7:07:06 PM] Janis: ((Ouch, unnatural 1)) [7:07:10 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Perfectly fine. That does make more sense. [7:07:12 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((14 assist)) [7:07:39 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((sorry that's 13)) [7:07:43 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((14 assist)) [7:08:17 PM] Kali: Janis doesn't get far on the first try, but also doesn't dislodge the arrow. [7:08:19 PM] Kali: Try again. [7:08:23 PM] Kali: (Both of you.) [7:08:44 PM] Janis: ((3, any more assistance?)) [7:08:48 PM] Janis: ((Jeezus)) [7:08:54 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) can't assist this time... ((0 on the roll)) [7:09:15 PM] Kali: ... you all spontaneously turn into the Three Stooges and go wark-wark-wark and bop Janis in the head. No, not really. [7:09:21 PM] Kali: But do try again, third time lucky? [7:09:40 PM] Janis: ((How long do you suppose until the DM unleashes her snooty safety net of Allys?)) [7:09:49 PM] Janis: ((2)) [7:10:01 PM] Janis: ((My rolls could not be worse)) [7:10:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) can't help people climb.... [7:10:03 PM] Kali: JE-sus. [7:10:21 PM] Kali: Mine are not better. [7:10:37 PM] Kali: I call a 10 minute break. [7:10:43 PM] Janis: ((Fair enough)) [7:10:47 PM] Janis: ((brb)) [7:10:49 PM] Kali: Maybe the dice will turn from their evil ways in that time. [7:10:52 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((haha)) [7:11:25 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((13 assist)) [7:11:40 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((I fumbled into you I think. Twice.)) [7:11:41 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Oops, most def. Scratch that.)) [7:11:44 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Two zeros.)) [7:13:01 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Jeez! That's ridiculous.)) [7:13:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Maybe I should stop 'helping' )) [7:13:24 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Let Larry assist unhindered)) [7:14:20 PM] Janis: ((next level, I put some ranks in climb)) [7:15:16 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Gotta poof. I'll be back later.)) [7:15:44 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Next level, I'm learning Celestial, so I can tell the owl to tie the damn rope.)) [7:18:53 PM] Kali: ((Do owls have the dexterity to tie something?)) [7:21:08 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((It could fly around the tree a couple of times, at least. Do the hitch loop, like you'd do with a horse at a post.)) [7:21:26 PM] Janis: ((I am just picturing us getting out of the pit, right in time for Allys and Nilani to find us.)) [7:21:42 PM] Janis: ((brb)) [7:22:01 PM] Janis: ((Wait, are we starting up again?)) [7:22:16 PM] Kali: Yep. [7:22:36 PM] Kali: Feel free to have another shot, or to take ... well, 10 wouldn't be enough. [7:22:52 PM] Janis: ((ok, Larry ready to assist?)) [7:23:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Sure. I'll make my roll.)) [7:23:19 PM] Janis: ((3 to climb)) [7:23:23 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((16 to assist.)) [7:24:07 PM] Kali: ... let's just fastforward. [7:24:14 PM] Janis: ( [7:24:19 PM] Kali: It takes a long, long, long, painfully long time to get out of the pit. [7:24:32 PM] Kali: By the time you do, all three of you are soaking wet and probably grumpy. [7:24:47 PM] Janis: ..........I vote we don't tell the others a word of this. [7:25:08 PM] Janis: Especially the bitch. [7:25:13 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Agreed. [7:25:23 PM] Janis: ((And I don't mean Flamey)) [7:25:31 PM] Janis: ((If Lira were here she'd agree)) [7:25:35 PM] Kali: There's a single gold piece on the ground near the pit. [7:25:42 PM] Janis: Janis picks it up [7:25:55 PM] Janis: This will go with the diamond the dragons tossed me yesterday [7:26:11 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Any markings on it? [7:26:16 PM] Janis: The coin? [7:26:24 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Yes. [7:26:30 PM] Janis: Janis hands Larry the coin [7:26:50 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) examines the coin carefully, assuming the light is decent by now. [7:26:50 PM] Kali: A dragonhead. [7:27:00 PM] Kali: It's pretty ordinary looking, though. [7:27:17 PM] Janis: Is it all holy and stuff? [7:27:56 PM] Janis: ...Larry? [7:28:06 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Not so far as I can tell. [7:28:11 PM] Janis: ...oh... [7:28:14 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) hands the coin back to Janis. [7:28:21 PM] Janis: Janis takes it and pockets it [7:28:26 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Anyway, which way were we going before we got sidetracked? [7:28:52 PM] Janis: ((Lira stepped out and she was the one leading...) [7:29:00 PM] Janis: ..............maybe we should just head back [7:29:06 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((I know. I just assumed we'd head the right way.)) [7:29:12 PM] Janis: We were probably in the pit for hours. [7:29:25 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): We've come a long way to go back without any information. [7:29:34 PM] Janis: .................. [7:29:43 PM] Kali: Ah, kids. It was probably like, an hour. [7:29:48 PM] Kali: But it is pretty dark. [7:29:53 PM] Janis: ((Oh, that's different then)) [7:30:04 PM] Kali: Well, kids always feel like everything is hooooours. [7:30:12 PM] Kali: Especially church services. [7:30:16 PM] Janis: Janis continues following zombie Lira in the direction we were going [7:30:27 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) does as well. [7:30:52 PM] Janis: ((Hooray for eerily quiet Lira and he knowledge of the area)) [7:31:38 PM] Kali: She doesn't really have much. [7:32:18 PM] Kali: Eventually you reach the outskirts of a small town. There's a night watchman walking around, but he evidently decides you're harmless. [7:32:23 PM] Kali: Otherwise, no one's out in the rain. [7:32:51 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) greets the nightwatchman. [7:33:10 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Good evening, sir! Could you point us to the pub? [7:33:59 PM] Kali: He  nods. "There's a few of 'em, one's back the way you came." [7:34:31 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): We may stop in there on our way back, but we'd like to know about one within the town. [7:35:44 PM] Kali: He points you to a big, grand building. "Starry Knight's there. Best spiced rum in town." [7:35:58 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Thank you very much, sir! [7:36:14 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) leads Janis and Lira towards the Starry Knight. [7:37:11 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((going to be going for a walk pretty soon here, so I'll be zombied for a while, too. Sorry.)) [7:37:37 PM] Janis: ((Well, I'm not much of a diplomat)) [7:38:12 PM] Kali: ((Janis walks away, the whole town in flames behind her. "I'm not much of a diplomat.")) [7:38:30 PM] Kali: It's actually pretty emptied out looking in there; the bartender looks bored. [7:38:39 PM] Janis: ...hello! [7:39:34 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Greetings, sir! I hear you have some fantastic spiced rum in these parts. May I order one? It's cold out, and we're soaked. [7:39:44 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) takes a look around, unsure she can afford anything here. (whispers) "This doesn't look like a good place to get... supplies..." [7:40:09 PM] Janis: Were there any noteworthy customers last night? [7:40:19 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) hadn't thought of the potential of it being too expensive for a drink, supplies, etc. [7:40:32 PM] Janis: five really drunk people, followed by a group of bards? [7:41:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((That said, odds are Tarak wouldn't drink somewhere so swanky, given his taste for cheap rotgut.)) [7:41:04 PM] Janis: ((...I just realized something...)) [7:41:16 PM] Kali: Barkeep: Sure. [7:41:19 PM] Janis: ((They came in thinking we were a tavern)) [7:41:35 PM] Janis: ((Meaning that Nation probably let out through a tavern doorway)) [7:41:38 PM] Janis: ((Into town)) [7:42:02 PM] Kali: The bartender hands out some spiced rum. "Uh, I don't... think there was anybody here like that. Maybe they went to the Knight, that's where the music usually is. We offered the harper more, but he didn't like us." [7:42:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) casts Prestidigitation on herself to clean her robes for an hour. "If you have any information on where we can purchase supplies, it would be greatly appreciated." [7:42:30 PM] Kali: Bartender: Well, if you wait until morning, you can get just about anything at the market. [7:43:26 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods vaguely. "How long until morning? It's too dark out there to tell time well." [7:44:04 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Thank you, sir. How much do we owe you? [7:44:46 PM] Kali: Bartender: Six hours or so. [7:44:56 PM] Kali: Bartender: Half a silver piece. [7:45:30 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) pays up. [7:45:44 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((10 silvers to a gold, right?)) [7:45:57 PM] Kali: Yep. [7:46:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles. "The information is greatly appreciated." [7:46:15 PM] Kali: Bartender, hopefully: You going to stay the night? [7:46:34 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Afraid not. Just here to resupply and then we'll be on our way. [7:46:59 PM] Janis: But thanks anyway. [7:47:18 PM] Kali: His eyes fall. "Oh, well. Okay." [7:48:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) gives a pitying smile as best as she can. [7:49:15 PM] Janis: ((brb)) [7:49:52 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I could do with cleaning up after our adventures. Perhaps we could rent one for that purpose, since we don't have anyplace to be until the morning. [7:49:59 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): How much is a room? [7:50:48 PM] Kali: Bartender: Half a gold piece, but if you're only staying a couple hours, I can cutcha a deal. [7:51:07 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Worry not, friend. [7:51:20 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) hands over the fee. [7:51:40 PM] Janis: ((back)) [7:51:47 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): What room? [7:52:06 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) takes a seat somewhere within the pub, willing to wait out the six hours without a room. [7:53:16 PM] Janis: Janis turns to Lira "Can you clean me up too?" [7:53:29 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Of course. [7:53:41 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) casts Prestidigitation on Janis. [7:54:31 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): It won't dry you out right away, but it shouldn't take the whole hour to clean what you have. [7:54:38 PM] Kali: The bartender takes the money and offers you some food. Hot beef stew. Mmm. [7:54:53 PM] Janis: Janis stomach grumbles [7:54:56 PM] Janis: ...um... [7:55:30 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) also looks hungry. Luckily, she still has her rations! Pulling one out, she rips it open and partakes of it. [7:55:53 PM] Kali: Bartender: It goes with the room. Have some, it's cold  out there. [7:56:10 PM] Janis: Janis turns to Larry, pityingly [7:57:16 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Go ahead, friend Janis. I'm fine. Definitely time for a bath, though. [7:57:29 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) takes the keys, and heads up to take a bath. [7:57:48 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Zombie me- I'll be back in a little while.)) [7:57:51 PM] Janis: Janis sits down [7:57:55 PM] Janis: I'll take some! [7:58:34 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles and gestures to the bowl Larry left behind. "I believe Larry was giving you his bowl." [7:58:44 PM] Janis: ...oh, right. [7:58:46 PM] Janis: Janis digs in [7:58:59 PM] Kali: There's plenty of it! [7:59:12 PM] Kali: And it is very good stew, too. [7:59:22 PM] Kali: The bartender also brings Janis BEER. Of the root variety. It's pretty good. [7:59:51 PM] Janis: Janis drinks [8:00:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) finishes eating her ration and then, after briefly looking towards the pub's door, turns her eyes on the barkeep. "So can you tell us a bit about the town, perhaps?" [8:02:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((11 diplo)) [8:02:49 PM] Kali: The bartender: Well, it's not very interesting. There's houses, and the marketplace. We do have our own wizard, although he's not really all that good. [8:03:05 PM | Edited 8:03:15 PM] Janis: Have there been any...wierd stories recently? [8:04:05 PM] Kali: The bartender: Oh, you mean the *dragons.* [8:04:06 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods. [8:04:36 PM] Janis: ...sure...what about the dragons? [8:05:49 PM] Kali: Bartender: Well, it's named Dragonwyck, right? [8:06:08 PM] Kali: Bartender: Legend has it good dragons keep the town safe from the bad ones. [8:06:18 PM] Janis: How do you know the difference? [8:06:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) just listens, idly taking sips out of her waterskin. [8:07:14 PM] Janis: I mean, I'm not anti-dragon or stuff. I just wonder how you know which ones do which? [8:08:22 PM] Kali: Bartender: Well, mostly bad dragons torch towns and eat people. [8:08:44 PM] Kali: Bartender: Good dragons, well... they do take the occasional sheep, but then they usually leave something in its place. Not *literal* in its place, like. [8:09:01 PM] Janis: Do good dragons periodically take the form of humans for a pub crawl? [8:09:14 PM] Kali: Bartender: But the farmer'll find a platinum piece on his doorstep, or an emerald in the henhouse. [8:09:25 PM] Kali: The bartender laughs. "That's a good one, that is. I'll have to tell that story." [8:09:40 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) puts her quarterstaff away, now that she remembers she had it out. [8:10:19 PM] Janis: ...so, good dragons leave jewels behind? [8:10:21 PM] Janis: Why? [8:10:52 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): To recompense for the loss of a henhouse worth of a hens? [8:11:05 PM] Kali: Bartender: To pay for the sheep, or, yeah. They do like a chicken now and again. Or um, lots and lots of chickens. [8:11:30 PM] Kali: Bartender: Mind you, I heard tell there's a copper one will keep folks trapped in a cave for a game of riddles. [8:12:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns. "Good to know, we'll have to watch out for that one." [8:12:58 PM] Janis: Also, have you heard stories about people entering a tavern but waking up in a completely metal ship? [8:13:34 PM] Kali: Bartender: A ship made of metal? No, can't say as I have, but plenty of people get press-ganged on the coast. [8:13:44 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Press what? [8:15:02 PM] Kali: Bartender: Oh, you know, a pressgang. Not enough sailors, so they grab a few drunks from the local pub. [8:15:07 PM] Kali: Bartender: Not *our* pub, obviously. [8:15:22 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Oh, that's good. [8:17:13 PM] Kali: Bartender: I mean, we wouldn't let that happen to our patrons. Besides, we're too far inland for them to try it here anyway. [8:17:20 PM] Kali: Bartender: Plus we have dragons. [8:17:26 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles. "Good dragons." [8:17:51 PM] Janis: And Good Dragons wouldn't do that, right? [8:18:15 PM] Kali: Bartender: Good dragons don't do that. And don't like it when other people do either. [8:18:34 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods in understanding. [8:19:54 PM] Janis: Do you know anything about two other people? [8:20:00 PM] Kali: Bartender: What two other people? [8:20:09 PM] Janis: One's a blond guy with long hair, stubble and smells like really bad beer. [8:20:31 PM] Janis: The other is a woman, in armor, who follows him around. [8:21:27 PM] Kali: Bartender: ... oh, did you meet them? Where'd they go? They never took their reward. [8:21:33 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Reward? [8:21:34 PM] Janis: What reward? [8:22:34 PM] Kali: Bartender: You know, for fighting the bandits. [8:22:49 PM] Kali: Bartender: I guess they didn't get them *all* so they said it didn't count. [8:23:00 PM] Janis: Bandits? [8:23:07 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Janis. "The ones that waylaid us." [8:23:13 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Wolves, I think they're called. [8:23:46 PM] Kali: The bartender shudders. "Their leader called herself Alpha. They say she had her teeth sharpened so she could rip people's throats out just like a real wolf." [8:24:04 PM] Janis: ((...wait...is that more Hunger Games?)) [8:24:20 PM] Kali: ((Not Enobaria, no.)) [8:25:00 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns and looks at Janis. "We're lucky to have escaped their ire, then." [8:25:01 PM] Kali: Bartender: And she had these metal claws too. Sometimes she'd let people live and... well, they'd be all scarred afterward. [8:25:21 PM] Kali: Bartender: Well no, I mean, they did get her. They chopped off her head. [8:25:36 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Ah, so that's why they earned a reward. [8:25:41 PM | Removed 8:25:47 PM] Janis: This message has been removed. [8:25:47 PM | Removed 8:25:50 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): This message has been removed. [8:26:06 PM] Janis: But they never got the reward? [8:26:08 PM] Kali: Bartender: But they said it didn't count because some of 'em got away. [8:26:24 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Ah, I see. [8:27:28 PM] Janis: ........and that's the first anyone heard of them? [8:28:12 PM] Kali: Bartender: Of who? The Wolves? Nah, they been around for about 10 years. Only really started gettin' bad the last few, though. [8:28:24 PM | Edited 8:29:00 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): No, the drunk man and the woman who follows him around. [8:29:15 PM] Kali: Bartender: No, that's not right, they must not be the same ones. [8:29:23 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Why not? [8:29:33 PM] Kali: Bartender: He was definitely following her around. [8:29:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Janis and then back at the bartender. [8:30:15 PM] Janis: Ok, but was this still the first time they'd been seen in town? [8:30:34 PM] Kali: Bartender: Well, yeah. [8:30:53 PM] Kali: Bartender: I mean, if we had heroes here already they'd've done it, right? And the dragons never did it because they couldn't find 'em. [8:31:15 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Why couldn't the dragons find them? [8:32:28 PM] Kali: Bartender: I don't know. Maybe they didn't look in the right places? [8:32:38 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): But they have such powerful magic.... [8:32:41 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns. [8:34:03 PM] Janis: Did the pal...the heroes ever meet the dragons? [8:34:32 PM] Kali: Bartender: Well, they do, but they're dragons, right? Maybe they don't know how bad it was. Only been a couple years, that's like five minutes to a dragon, right? [8:34:45 PM] Kali: Bartender: I don't know! Sure would make a good story if he did, though. [8:34:58 PM] Janis: ...yeah...great story... [8:35:01 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) nods again. [8:35:28 PM] Kali: Bartender: Didn't seem happy. [8:35:56 PM] Janis: Janis smiles [8:36:00 PM] Janis: Sounds cool. [8:36:32 PM] Janis: Janis turns to Lira "I think we should go" [8:36:41 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Go where? The market is not open yet. [8:37:17 PM] Kali: Bartender: Nothing is, really, I'm afraid. And you're friend's not down from his bath yet. [8:37:37 PM] Janis: .........right. [8:37:56 PM] *** Kali added Wynn, Nilani *** [8:38:04 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles. "He's probably also praying. He likes that." [8:39:03 PM] Kali: The door slams open! Thunder crashes and lightning flashes! Tarak's would be the most dramatic entrance ever if it weren't for the fact that 1. he's not wearing a cloak, 2. he doesn't have long white hair and 3. his armor is covered in mud from head to toe, with some bonus leaves and even a couple of twigs. [8:39:28 PM] Janis: .......Tarak......hi..... [8:39:32 PM] Kali: The bartender flinches anyway. [8:39:33 PM] Janis: Janis smiles guiltily [8:39:38 PM] Kali: Tarak: What the hell do you think you're doing! [8:39:44 PM] Janis: ...shopping? [8:39:59 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Janis and then at Tarak. "We have no reason to explain ourselves to you." [8:40:01 PM] Jhett: Jhett comes behind him. [8:40:05 PM] Wynn: Wynn enters behind Tarak. After looking around, she looks furious. [8:40:30 PM] Nilani: Nilani inches in cautiously, scanning the room. [8:40:47 PM] Kali: It's a pretty quiet common room. [8:40:49 PM] Kali: Not a lot of people in it. [8:40:56 PM] Janis: ........Wynn......also hi..... [8:41:05 PM] Jhett: Where's Larry? [8:41:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Taking a bath or praying. Or both. [8:41:20 PM] Wynn: Wynn scowls at Janis. "What... were you *thinking*?" [8:41:35 PM] Janis: Allys said we needed some supplies. [8:41:49 PM] Kali: Tarak: Oh, no, please, *don't* explain why you decided it'd be a fine idea to leave without telling anybody where you were going to go play on a road frequented by robbers at NIGHT ON A PLANE YOU DON'T -- [8:42:13 PM] Janis: You didn't get jumped, did you? [8:42:22 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((brb)) [8:42:27 PM] Wynn: ((who ordered the cheeseburger? and the two pissed off paladins?)) [8:42:32 PM] Janis: ((Oh sure, leave me with them)) [8:42:45 PM] Wynn: No. [8:42:50 PM] Wynn: ......did YOU?!? [8:43:02 PM] Janis: ...............uh............ [8:43:05 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((back)) [8:43:16 PM] Janis: .............no? [8:43:23 PM] Wynn: You really are a TERRIBLE liar. [8:43:28 PM] Wynn: Are you hurt? [8:43:31 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shakes her head a little at Janis. "We got jumped, but we're ok now." [8:43:34 PM | Edited 8:43:52 PM] Kali: Tarak cuts himself off, takes a deep breath and turns to the bartender and says in a voice brittle with false cheeriness, "Spiced rum for my companions here, and a double of whatever's cheapest for me. Thank you *so* much." Despite the brightness, the bartender flinches, nods and serves. Fast. [8:44:00 PM] Janis: ...we convinced them we were dragons. [8:44:15 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((Back!)) [8:44:17 PM] Nilani: Nilani grins widely at Janis' comment [8:44:17 PM] Wynn: What happened to not doing anything stupid? [8:44:19 PM] Janis: The real trick was getting out of the hole. [8:44:30 PM] Janis: Janis points to Lira [8:44:33 PM] Janis: It was her idea [8:44:37 PM] Wynn: You should have at least told the rest of us. [8:44:51 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) gazes steady at Wynn. "Some of us don't need babysitters." [8:45:07 PM] Nilani: Nilani picks a pebble out of her hair. [8:45:10 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks at Lira, her anger returning again. [8:45:21 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) comes back from the room. [8:45:22 PM] Janis: ((Sorry Lira)) [8:45:37 PM] Wynn: It's not "babysitting." It's common courtesy. [8:45:40 PM] Janis: Larry...look who showed up. [8:45:49 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry. "Feeling better?" [8:45:54 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Anyone need a bath? [8:46:10 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Yes, friend Lira. Cleaned up nicely. [8:46:14 PM] Kali: The bartender brings Wynn and Nilani spiced rums. It's weak enough to almost be a cider wtih a dash of rum, but it tastes good and hot. [8:46:25 PM] Wynn: I don't drink. [8:46:49 PM] Nilani: Nilani also pushes her rum away, looking apologetically at the bartender. [8:47:09 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) takes one of the proffered rums. [8:47:19 PM] Kali: The bartender nods, looking at Tarak worriedly. "Hot cocoa? Tea?" [8:47:21 PM] Jhett: Jhett drinks his. [8:47:29 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): The last one was delicious. I may as well enjoy one more. Thank you, sir. [8:47:40 PM] Kali: He pours Tarak something foulsmelling out of a jug; Tarak doesn't let him take it away afterward. [8:47:43 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) nods, smiling, to the bartender. [8:48:02 PM] Janis: Janis walks up to Tarak [8:48:05 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles in a half-hearted manner towards Larry. [8:48:12 PM] Janis: ....did you real kill the gang leader? [8:48:31 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) asks Lira, quietly, "did you find anything out?" [8:48:46 PM] Nilani: Nilani pulls a piece of candy bread out of her pocket and nibbles on it. [8:48:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): (quietly) Yes. Quite a bit. [8:48:52 PM] Kali: Tarak glowers at Janis. "What difference does it make?" [8:48:59 PM] Janis: Why'd you do it? [8:49:09 PM] Janis: It wasn't for the money. [8:49:19 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) smiles slightly. [8:49:28 PM] Kali: Tarak: Because *that* is what we *do.* [8:49:31 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks over the party then turns away slightly, closing her eyes and counting. [8:49:44 PM] Janis: Janis looks from Tarak to Wynn, then back to Tarak. [8:49:52 PM] Janis: Are you going to train her? [8:49:56 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): (quietly) The five dragons are good. They protect the town from bad dragons. They leave gems for stealing things like hens and sheep. [8:50:17 PM] Kali: Tarak: Ask her. [8:50:29 PM] Wynn: Wynn turns back, calmer. [8:50:34 PM] Janis: Janis turns to Wynn [8:50:54 PM] Janis: You want this? [8:50:59 PM] Wynn: What? [8:51:06 PM] Janis: Janis points to Tarak [8:51:08 PM] Janis: That. [8:51:17 PM] Wynn: ((ew lol)) [8:51:26 PM | Edited 8:51:33 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): (quietly) The drunkard was actually chasing Allys, not the other way around. [8:51:27 PM] Janis: ((That's not she means, and you know it)) [8:51:39 PM] Wynn: Wynn looks at Tarak then back at Janis. [8:51:49 PM] Wynn: Yes. [8:51:58 PM] Janis: Janis nods and turns back to Tarak [8:52:11 PM] Janis: She's my friend. If you make her get hurt, I will kill you. [8:52:16 PM] Janis: Janis gets up and walks away [8:52:29 PM] Kali: Tarak: ... getting hurt is what we do too. [8:53:03 PM] Wynn: Wynn nods slightly. [8:53:33 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): (quietly, still to Larry) The drunkard and Allys hunted the Bandits and killed their leader. [8:53:45 PM] Wynn: Thank you, Tarak. [8:53:54 PM] Janis: Janis drinks from her root beer [8:53:57 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) looks at Lira, confused as to what's going on, still. [8:54:24 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): (quietly) Tarak and Wynn were mad that we left without saying anything. [8:54:45 PM] Janis: ((Janis heard what she needed to)) [8:55:08 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) nods at that, though why we should care what Tarak thinks is still confusing. [8:55:08 PM | Removed 8:55:14 PM] Janis: This message has been removed. [8:55:23 PM] Jhett: Jhett frowns and orders some food. [8:55:30 PM] Janis: Janis walks up to Jhett [8:55:34 PM] Janis: Can I talk to you? [8:55:38 PM] Jhett: Sure. [8:55:49 PM] Janis: Allys says I need to start taking classes. [8:56:00 PM] Janis: But if that's so, I want to learn things I want to learn. [8:56:11 PM] Kali: Tarak doesn't really answer; seems like he's letting the rage bleed off, or be absorbed into booze. [8:56:14 PM] Janis: And I think you could teach me a few languages I might need. [8:56:14 PM] Jhett: Want to learn to play the violin? [8:56:18 PM] Jhett: Oh, that too. [8:56:28 PM] Janis: Would you help? [8:56:29 PM] Jhett: Sure. [8:56:34 PM] Janis: Janis smiles "thanks" [8:56:39 PM] Janis: Let me know when we start. [8:56:50 PM] Jhett: Jhett smiles. [8:57:00 PM] Wynn: Wynn sits at the bar, head on one hand. [8:57:32 PM] Janis: ...also, do you know how to climb? [8:57:43 PM] Wynn: :D [8:57:52 PM] Jhett: Not terribly well. [8:57:58 PM] Jhett: Did you find the pit, too? [8:58:02 PM] Janis: Yep. [8:58:08 PM | Edited 8:58:28 PM] Janis: It took us an hour to get out. [8:58:10 PM] Janis: With a rope. [8:58:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry and then surveys the party briefly before going back to Larry. "Thanks for the healing back there, by the way..." [8:58:41 PM] Jhett: Tarak and Nilani fell in, too. Wynn didn't, and managed to stay out. [8:58:52 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) whispers back to Lira, "Not a problem, friend Lira. It's the least I could do." [8:59:02 PM] Janis: ...I may have jumped in... [8:59:08 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) smiles warmly. [8:59:11 PM] Janis: It seemed like a better idea at the time. [8:59:22 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) smiles back. [8:59:35 PM] Janis: Well, thanks for the help. [8:59:41 PM] Janis: Janis walks towards the group [8:59:47 PM] Kali: The bartender brings you all refills and hot beef stew if you want it. [8:59:53 PM] Jhett: Jhett eats hot stew. [8:59:54 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam), still whispering. "So did we get anything further about what Tarak's deal is?" [9:00:03 PM] Wynn: I'll take some stew. Thank you, sir. [9:00:08 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) also takes a bowl of stew. [9:00:10 PM] Janis: Janis walks up to Larry [9:00:11 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Thank you, sir! [9:00:14 PM] Janis: He is a massive jerk [9:00:17 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): (whispers) He's some kind of hero, says the barkeep. He's not from this town, though. [9:00:27 PM] Janis: But he's good [9:00:36 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Peachy. [9:00:53 PM] Janis: If Wynn trusts him...I think he's worth trying... [9:01:09 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) scowls. [9:01:17 PM] Janis: ((Is Allys here too?)) [9:01:17 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) scowls as well. [9:01:21 PM] Wynn: (n) [9:01:36 PM] Wynn: ((and wynn can't hear you. lol lucky you...)) [9:01:44 PM] Janis: ...where's Allys? [9:01:55 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shrugs. [9:01:57 PM] Jhett: Back on Nation. [9:02:05 PM] Nilani: ((suddenly, the door is reduced to splinters, and Alyss stands in the doorway.)) [9:02:09 PM] Janis: ..........................she's on Nation, alone? [9:02:23 PM] Jhett: Kalor's there. And, you know, Nation and Talas. [9:02:32 PM] Janis: ........right. [9:02:39 PM] Jhett: And Kestrel. [9:02:39 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): And Graaver. [9:02:45 PM] Janis: ................right. [9:02:48 PM] Kali: ((And Raven AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!) [9:02:50 PM] Wynn: :D [9:02:55 PM] Janis: :D [9:03:02 PM] Nilani: ((nice knowing them.)) [9:03:27 PM] Jhett: As soon as he heard you might be in danger, he insisted on storming after you.  He's an unpleasant cuss... but. [9:03:42 PM] Janis: Really, Tarak? [9:03:43 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): (still whispering) Maybe not so loudly, Jhett. [9:03:55 PM] Janis: That's sweet. [9:03:56 PM] Jhett: He knows I think he's an unpleasant cuss. [9:03:59 PM] Janis: Janis grins broadly [9:04:01 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Oh. [9:04:09 PM] Jhett: I don't think he much cares. [9:04:11 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks quite... lost, on that one. [9:04:12 PM] Jhett: Jhett shrugs. [9:04:53 PM] Kali: Tarak growls. "Why are we still here?" [9:05:01 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): We came for supplies. [9:05:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): The market isn't open. [9:05:04 PM] Wynn: Eating? [9:05:10 PM] Jhett: I'm eating, because this stew is pretty good, and warm. [9:05:24 PM] Wynn: We should get back soon though. It will be hard enough to get back in the dark. [9:05:26 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) is also enjoying his stew, in between asking, answering, and scowling. [9:05:44 PM] Wynn: And I'd like to get out of this wet armor. [9:06:03 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Wynn. "You can have Larry's bath, I believe...?" [9:06:05 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry. [9:06:31 PM] Nilani: Nilani looks at her muddy self, frowns, then shrugs. She's seen worse. [9:06:32 PM] Wynn: I'd rather just use the facilities on Nation. [9:06:56 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Indeed, friend Wynn. We did rent a room here for waiting and bathing until the shops open and we can pick up the supplies. [9:07:12 PM] Wynn: You were planning on staying OVERNIGHT?! [9:07:17 PM] Wynn: Without telling anyone?? [9:07:17 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shakes her head. [9:07:31 PM] Wynn: Seriously... what the hell? [9:07:37 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): No, we got here early. It was some hours until morning, when the shops opened. [9:07:50 PM] Janis: Larry just bought it for the bath, the lunch and the rest. [9:08:00 PM] Janis: We were planning to be back before you knew it. [9:08:09 PM] Janis: ...and we...almost were...kinda... [9:08:13 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): I even prepared a spell for the occassion. [9:08:24 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): I didn't want everyone to have to sit in muddy clothes until the shops open. [9:08:26 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Unfortunately, we haven't bought the supplies as of yet. [9:08:34 PM] Kali: Tarak: Yeah, nobody would have noticed you were all gone overnight. [9:08:52 PM | Edited 9:09:12 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): We weren't staying overnight, you deaf baboon. [9:09:04 PM] Wynn: ((right the first time. lol)) [9:09:32 PM] Wynn: If it's night... and the shops open in the morning... that's called staying overnight. [9:09:51 PM | Edited 9:09:57 PM] Janis: .......we didn't know they were closed. [9:10:10 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) sighs. [9:10:13 PM] Kali: Tarak growls again. [9:10:27 PM] Wynn: ((Tarak keeps stealing my lines. lol)) [9:10:37 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): If it's right after breakfast, and the shops open in several hours, it's not staying overnight. [9:10:45 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): And we left right after breakfast. [9:11:00 PM] Wynn: ((Did I miss something? I thought the sun was setting when we left Nation)) [9:11:18 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((we walked *through* the night afaik)) [9:11:36 PM] Kali: The bartender said it'd be about 5 hours before everything opened. [9:11:57 PM] Kali: So it was about, likely, 1 a.m. when he said that, and things would start opening up at 6 a.m. or so. [9:12:10 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((About how much time left?)) [9:12:22 PM] Kali: Three hours or so, maybe. [9:12:55 PM] Wynn: ... maybe Allys was right. [9:13:06 PM] Janis: ...about what? [9:13:15 PM] Wynn: Discipline. [9:13:26 PM] Janis: Janis tense up. [9:14:22 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks like an unpleasant thought has crossed her mind and her face sours. [9:15:20 PM] Janis: Janis Janis keeps opening her mouth to say something, but can't find the words [9:15:31 PM] Jhett: Jhett takes some delicious bread! [9:16:26 PM] Kali: The bartender unwisely comes up to Tarak. "Say, aren't you the--" Tarak: NO. [9:16:35 PM] Kali: The bartender flinches back and practically teleports into the kitchen. [9:16:59 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): EXCUSE ME, SIR!! (calling after the bartender) [9:17:47 PM] Wynn: People who work in a *team* don't just wander off on their own. [9:18:08 PM] Janis: We weren't so much wandering off...we were...taking part in a side project. [9:18:12 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Larry. "If Tarak doesn't want his reward, let him be." [9:18:20 PM] Wynn: Then you could let the rest of us know. [9:18:34 PM] Janis: I'm sorry. We will next time. [9:18:48 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Janis steadily. "Maybe you will." [9:19:25 PM] Wynn: Wynn scowls at Lira. "Haven't you done enough?" [9:19:34 PM] Kali: The bartender inches back up to Larry, worriedly. "Yes?" [9:19:59 PM] Janis: Janis looks between Wynn and Lira worriedly. [9:20:00 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Can we speak privately for a moment? I'd like to know more about your *rum*. [9:20:03 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) winks. [9:20:25 PM] Janis: Remember, don't say or do anything you'd regret in front of an impressionable child. [9:20:36 PM] Janis: Janis puts on her best innocent face [9:20:58 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Done enough? What else have I done that meets with your disapproval, (slips into another language) mrith dout phlita... [9:21:03 PM] Kali: The bartender nods nervously and draws Larry into the kitchen. [9:21:15 PM] Janis: ((Is that draconic?)) [9:21:19 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Yup)) [9:22:34 PM] Kali: Tarak: Impressionable my ass. [9:23:02 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) trails off quietly. "..svabol ui harkt vur svabol ui xuut" [9:23:14 PM] Kali: ((Translate that in here for me if you would.)) [9:23:21 PM] Wynn: ((My intent died. On my phone. Will be slow for a minute. )) [9:23:23 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((with your terrible sense of what is right and what is wrong)) [9:23:37 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((split into two)) [9:24:25 PM] Wynn: You took off without warning and took her with you. What if something had happened? Its common  courtesy. [9:24:35 PM] Wynn: It's common fucking sense. [9:24:41 PM] Wynn: ((back :) )) [9:24:45 PM | Edited 9:24:53 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): It's not like I forced her to. [9:25:08 PM] Kali: ((Holy shit Wynn swore.)) [9:25:17 PM] Kali: ((Tarak, you are a bad influence.)) [9:25:36 PM] Wynn: You know what... I have a spare copy of Common Sense now. Maybe it would serve you better. [9:25:37 PM] Nilani: Nilani looks a bit startled at Wynn's choice of words, but then shrugs and goes back to whatever she was doing. [9:25:45 PM] Janis: Ok, enough. [9:25:57 PM] Janis: Lira's right, she didn't make me do anything! [9:26:17 PM] Janis: I chose to go with her, and something did happen, and guess what?  I owned it! [9:26:27 PM] Janis: And Wynn's right, Lira. [9:26:39 PM] Janis: It was stupid for us to go without saying something. [9:27:09 PM] Janis: If we want to prove to Allys that we don't need her help, we need to stop getting ourselves into this...stupid stuff. [9:27:34 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) frowns, but nods... albeit grudgingly. "There is truth in what you say." [9:27:48 PM] Wynn: Hallelujah. [9:28:14 PM] Janis: ((http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3fVj8A-K8E)) [9:28:34 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Hee!)) [9:28:42 PM] Nilani: (( XD )) [9:29:29 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) holds out her hand. "I will promise, on mine Honor, that I will no longer interfere, or hold information from you if you agree to similar terms for me." [9:29:34 PM | Edited 9:29:44 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Deal? (To Wynn) [9:30:00 PM] Wynn: When have I not? [9:30:15 PM] Janis: Janis glares up at Wynn [9:30:18 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) scowls. [9:30:30 PM] Wynn: Have I offended in the past? [9:30:42 PM] Janis: ...just shake the hand, Wynn. [9:30:45 PM] Wynn: As I recall, I've had your back since we woke up. [9:31:45 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks at Janis with a brief smile and then returns her attention to Wynn. "You have interefered all of once, but I am... rather more worried about future attempts than your past." [9:31:57 PM] Wynn: In what way? [9:34:12 PM | Edited 9:34:44 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): You may, for example, consp- work with Allys and Tarak to establish laws. If they, for example, say not to willingly harm a friend, such as Janis, then you may even call these good laws. However, it is my belief that these laws will serve to constrict and may, in the end, interfere. Say that Janis was controlled by a mind-altering spell. Would you not prefer that she not shoot you, and instead be targeted by a Sleep spell, despite that it is in fact an attack if that were cast? [9:34:56 PM] Wynn: Wynn sets her jaw. "So it's back to the lapdog mentality." [9:35:13 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shakes her head. "I did not mean that you have no choice." [9:35:14 PM] Wynn: I do not understand where your hatred of Law comes from. [9:35:20 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) steps back, stung. [9:35:40 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) returns from the back of the bar. [9:36:06 PM] Janis: We can always find another way. [9:36:41 PM] Wynn: It's not like extenuating circumstances are not considered. [9:36:41 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Law has its place, indeed. But law is no substitute for the Light, friend Wynn. And everyone must find the Light in their own way. Friend Lira's way is no more right or wrong than your own. [9:37:07 PM] Wynn: Wynn shakes her head. [9:37:24 PM] Wynn: What is right to one is not right to another. Law removes the ambiguity. [9:37:24 PM] Janis: At the same time, laws do have a purpose, and you can't have an inherit fear of them. [9:37:47 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) sort of looks at Janis like she just spewed poison, and pulls back further. [9:37:48 PM] Wynn: A necromancer sees no wrong in raising the dead. [9:37:56 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Law can easily create ambiguity in what's right, though. [9:38:28 PM] Janis: ((Please tell me the shops are almost open)) [9:38:34 PM] Wynn: :D [9:38:46 PM] Kali: You have like, at least another hour! [9:38:51 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Lol!)) [9:39:12 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): What of the person who steals from the dishonest, if lawful, baron to feed his community? [9:39:16 PM] Jhett: Jhett wishes he brought his violin. [9:39:28 PM] Kali: Nah, the sun is rising. You can go and buy stuff now. [9:39:30 PM] Wynn: Dishonesty and Lawful are not compatible. [9:39:45 PM] Janis: Tarak, if you still want to go back to Nation, I'll go with you. [9:40:01 PM] Wynn: Leaders who exploit their people's trust are no better than thieves and deserve to suffer the same fate. [9:40:19 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) slowly walks up to Wynn. "I will go purchase supplies now. I will summon Mounts later if you wish to make the trek faster." [9:40:38 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) leaves the pub. [9:41:01 PM] Wynn: ((... was that an invitation?)) [9:41:03 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): That is what is Good, not necessarily what is Lawful. We did come for supplies, so off we go. [9:41:18 PM] Jhett: ((Someone was gonna storm out, I was just waiting to see who was gonna be first.)) [9:41:21 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) goes to enjoin Lira in the purchase of supplies. [9:41:35 PM] Wynn: Larry! [9:41:35 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((She's only got a few Mounts she can summon :P )) [9:41:38 PM] Janis: On 1/14/14, at 12:41 AM, Jhett wrote: > ((Someone was gonna storm out, I was just waiting to see who was gonna be first.))

((Truth)) [9:41:47 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Yes, friend Wynn? [9:42:01 PM] Wynn: Wynn hands him the list. "You'll need this." [9:42:12 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Thank you, friend Wynn. [9:42:27 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) leaves to go shopping. [9:42:27 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) shakes a bit as she gets out of the pub, her nightmare returning briefly to her visage. Shaking her head clear, she takes a look around at the town and tries to look for a place to purchase mundane supplies. [9:42:28 PM] Kali: Tarak: We should probably wait. All go together. [9:42:40 PM] Wynn: Wynn nods. [9:42:46 PM] Wynn: I just need a moment. [9:42:49 PM] Kali: Tarak: Some of 'em might remember me. [9:42:52 PM] Jhett: People in this group love to Storm Off. [9:43:11 PM] Kali: Tarak: We still need supplies. Here. [9:43:15 PM] Wynn: ((usually it's me!)) [9:43:18 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): ((I wasn't storming, just going to do what we came to do: gather info and get supplies.)) [9:43:19 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((I like that as a title for this Episode, btw)) [9:43:24 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): ((Storming Off)) [9:43:29 PM] Kali: He hands Wynn a couple of platinum pieces. "If you don't mind. I'm stayin' here." [9:43:46 PM] Kali: Tarak: We should all meet back here before we go back. [9:43:47 PM] Wynn: Wynn nods. "Anything else besides what was on the list?" [9:43:55 PM] Jhett: Just make sure you can move under your own power when we leave. You're too heavy. [9:44:19 PM] Janis: ....I don't need much of anything. [9:44:25 PM] Kali: Tarak: I can move when I need to, Scales. [9:44:29 PM] Jhett: I need a change of clothes or three. [9:44:36 PM] Kali: Tarak: And not that I can think of. [9:44:42 PM] Janis: Maybe some supplies to maintain my bow and make more arrows. [9:44:58 PM] Lira the Wiz (Winnie): Lira the Wiz (Winnie) looks for mundane items to purchase, as well as bows or bowcrafting materials. [9:45:11 PM | Edited 9:45:23 PM] Wynn: I suppose we should catch up to Larry and get the list back. We'll be back soon, Tarak. [9:45:33 PM] Larry, Cleric (Adam): Larry, Cleric (Adam) goes looking for a miller's shop, to pick up the flour, etc. [9:45:44 PM] Janis: Janis follows Lira [9:45:46 PM] Jhett: Jhett nods and goes shoppin. [9:45:47 PM] Wynn: Wynn leaves to find Larry. [9:46:04 PM] Nilani: Nilani goes off to find some crossbow bolts
