Session 10: Devil's Chimney

 <freespace> HAAHA!
 <Ramon> Ohh hi CJ
 <Nagashofchaos> speak of the devil
 <freespace> WE were about to break up
 <freespace> Good timing
 <CJ> Yes, I know. I appear in a puff of sulphur!
 <CJ> I don't blame you. I am an hour late!
 <freespace> So how many warp points now! ;)
 <freespace> ?
 <Nagashofchaos> 65000 in honor of CK2's BS events
 <Silas_> I wonder, does the cake need sulphur? cause I just found a steady supply Freespace
 <CJ> Er I think I may well have developed horns, a tail, and can obly speak in Barry Manilow lyrics.
 <Silas_> haha
 <CJ> Give me two minutes to getthis sthing started :)
 <freespace> No, Actually the cake has Vegemite in it. That's why I brought that up.
 =-= freespace is now known as Gustbran
 <Silas_> how does Vegemite taste?
 <Nagashofchaos> remind me never to play as a islamic nation ever again in CK2.
 <Silas_> sure Naga
 <Silas_> I'll write it down somewhere and mention it at all the wrong times
 <Gustbran> Imagine a paste made of pure salt and about 100 different vegetables that you can't discern.
 <Silas_> ...
 <Silas_> yeah..
 <Silas_> yuk
 <Ramon> Now we play with 2 people missing
 <Gustbran> I like salt way too much, so I actually thought that was a redeeming factor. ;)
 <Nagashofchaos> Well one thing that's good for you Ramon is that I believe we have only one person who wants to stay.
 <Baruch> 2 people missing? Helpax is one, whos the other?
 <Nagashofchaos> nyaa
 <Gustbran> Makara
 <Ramon> Nyaa sayed so already in the forum
 <Silas_> We got the MM bot in recognition of Makara tho
 <Gustbran> indeed.
 <Ramon> thats why Silas is responicble for the Bot today
 <Silas_> Wait, aren't we in trouble without Helpax?
 <Nagashofchaos> get your drinks and your snacks people.
 <Gustbran> Will Helpax still show up, magic dice?
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10+1
 <MM_BOT> Gustbran:  11 :10+1
 <Silas_> nope :p
 <Ramon> botch ^^^
 <Silas_> how on earth you manage to botch every roll I'll never know
 <Gustbran> HAHAHA!
 * Gustbran is so dead this session
 <Nagashofchaos> Don't forget to log.
 <Silas_> right
 <Silas_> logging is on
 <Silas_> *starts the motorsaw*
 <CJ> Right shall we play. I'm sorry I missed th chat though, and one day we must all talk :)
 <CJ> Give the highlights!
 <Ramon> Makara and Helpax are missing
 <Silas_> I think we were just messing around mostly :p
 <Baruch> Gustbran has been traumatized by the navy
 <Baruch> that must be why he killed the guy last time
 <Gustbran> badly, too
 <Nagashofchaos> CK2's ai cheats
 <Ramon> you got my last 2 mails CJ?
 <Silas_> Naga is playing an islamic nation but has trouble with a count who raised some 65k soldiers
 <CJ> Now I'm very confused!
 <Baruch> Helpax was here originally, but then his connection dropped, and he hasn't gotten back
 <Baruch> So he might show up yet
 <CJ> Probably not Ramon. Not seen any email since i posted the story. I mean I have them, just not been able to access them yet
 <Ramon> kk
 <CJ> I thought Helpax could not make today?
 <Ramon> Makara couldnt make it
 <CJ> OK, can someone message him and say we are on after all
 <Ramon> Nyaa = Makara
 <CJ> Yep I know.
 <CJ> #Anyone know Helpax's email?
 <Nagashofchaos> Mrshades = Helpax
 <Silas_> I haven't got a way to contact him sadly, short of the Academagia forums I suppose
 <Ramon> no, I dont have his mail
 <Silas_> ... ah what the heck, I'll write him on the forums, brb
 <Gustbran> Me neither, and it's not in his profile on the forums, either.
 <CJ> I have emailed him
 <CJ> I found it :)
 <Gustbran> I think it's a bit unlikly that he'll show though.
 <CJ> Right, only an hour late for reasons I still have not explained - but will do after the game - we start!
 <CJ> How long ago was he here?
 <Gustbran> a while
 <Ramon> he left befor 12 GMT
 <Gustbran> Well before the time we should have started
 <CJ> Yep, well he told me could not make today anyway so that's why
 <CJ> OK
 <Baruch> Strange that he would have come online, then. Well, we will see.
 <CJ> The pegasus is immense as it climbs in to the sky. Corvus of Voluntas is perched on the should er of Ramon now, muttering directions. He wants you to fly due north
 <Ramon> OK Ramon translate this for Sedala
 * Gustbran shivers quietly from the cold.
 <CJ> Ramon you notice your magic needle that points to the City of Ivory and Jade is pointing NE now
 * Nagashofchaos enjoying the cold
 <CJ> It is incredibly cold, because you are flying through a snowstorm
 <CJ> from those below you are disguised as a cloud I believe by magic?
 <CJ> did anyone cast the spell?
 <Ramon> doubt so
 <Nagashofchaos> it would have been makara
 <Baruch> O
 <Ramon> (err)
 <CJ> Calpurnia is definitely enjoying the icy cold
 <Baruch> I'll cast the weather protection on everyone again
 <Baruch> wait a bit, can't remember the name
 <CJ> ! roll1d10+14
 <CJ> !roll 1d10+14
 <MM_BOT> CJ:  18 :4+14
 <CJ> Makara casts the spell
 <CJ> OK Baruch, yep what spell you using?
 <Nagashofchaos> that's for the cload.
 <Nagashofchaos> now for protection
 <Baruch> Ward against rain-level spont against the snaw and such
 <CJ> Yes Makara created a cloud illusion
 <Baruch> so level 10
 <CJ> Yep, that for Group or Individual target?
 <Baruch> That's individual, but I'll cast group
 <Baruch> should be able to pull 15 off
 <CJ> OK, so level 15. Do you have a similar spell?
 <CJ> Because if sponting a level 15 spell you need to roll 30 :)
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+39
 <MM_BOT> Baruch:  47 :8+39
 <Ramon> (Btw I only have ramon open right now so it will take a bit if you want to bring Class into action)
 <CJ> Wow! I'd forgotten how good Baruch is with his weather magic
 <Baruch> (It's "weather", right? So my major focus applies)
 <Ramon> (oO what control of the weather)
 <CJ> Yep!
 <Gustbran> (Hoo nice job one trick pony!)
 <Silas_> (hehe)
 <CJ> OK, the snow now swirls around you in  but never touches any of you as you fly through the blizzard, over Salisbury Plain below. It's like being INSIDE a huge flying snow globe !
 <Silas_> (wee!)
 <Gustbran> (whoo hoo!)
 <Silas_> (What time is it in game? approaching evening?)
 <Ramon> (Hope not as dusk our spells/spellike effects end)
 <Gustbran> (it should be closer to morning i think..)
 <Ramon> (Sometime afternoon is it)
 <CJ> Mid afternoon. Silas, you notice Edith has climbed off Gustbran abd is unsteadily walking along the pegasus towards you
 <Silas_> (ah)
 * Silas_ reaches a hand out to the mouse
 <CJ> it climbs on your hand, and eeks indignantly
 <Ramon> (Mouse need food quite often ^^)
 <CJ> (Hey, Nagash change your nick! :))
 <Silas_> "hmm? Anything wrong?"
 =-= YOU are now known as Calpurnia
 <Calpurnia> (thanks for catching that)
 <CJ> Gutsbran: you are on a giant flying horse surrounded by loonies in a blizzard, having just escaped a lynching. Any thoughts or actions?
 <CJ> Gustbran even
 * Silas_ reaches for the dried cheese and breaks a bit of it off, handing it to Edith with the other hand
 * Gustbran is deep in thought but is not voicing them.
 <CJ> Edith eats hungrily, and then winds her tail round her middle and tries to sleep
 <CJ> Baruch, you have warded the party well
 * Silas_ gently tugs her into the sleeve
 * Baruch looks stern
 * Silas_ yawns quietly
 <Ramon> (Btw the pegasus is fast)
 <Gustbran> So, um.. Thanks for saving me back there.
 <CJ> Right, several hours flight now till sunset. Anyone doing anything? And which way you flying, north as Corvus suggests, or NE to covennat, or other direction?
 <CJ> Once I know that we will deal with events at sunset.
 <Ramon> (North)
 * Silas_ blinks lazily
 <Silas_> "Glad to help Gustbran"
 * Calpurnia enjoying the nice snowy day
 <Ramon> (At last Ramon did understand it that the mage what to the covenant where corvus leads them)
 * Silas_ could use some sleep
 <Baruch> (Doing nothing; going north, which would be Ramon's choice anyway in the last instance)
 * Silas_ yawns again
 <Silas_> If I drift off be sure to wake me some time before Sundown
 <Silas_> (ninjaadds : " ")
 <CJ> !roll 1d10 for drakes
 <MM_BOT> CJ, for drakes: 5
 <Baruch> "Well, Gustbran, we will have to see how things develop from here. We are all in the hands of our allies now."
 <Calpurnia> ahh shit
 <CJ> OK, the drakes have not located you.
 <Gustbran> I want to come clean here. I did steal that silver and got caught, but...
 <Silas_> (phew)
 <Gustbran> I was dismissed.
 * Silas_ drifts off into sleep
 <Gustbran> There is no reason why they should have me executed!
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10+4
 <MM_BOT> Ramon:  10 :6+4
 <CJ> Makara mutters something odd. Silas snores gently
 * Calpurnia turns head around slowly "Don't steal. It's a easy way to lose your hands"
 * Gustbran lowers his head and nods.
 <Baruch> "I was wondering about that. Would there be any other reason why they might want you dead?"
 <Ramon> (OK Sedala fly at a constant speed)
 <Gustbran> Not that I can think of.
 <Gustbran> (whoops. Forgot the quotes.)
 <CJ> (Gustbran, have you read the story I linked? No problem if not, but if you have you understand your families duty more now)
 <Silas_> (ninjaadds : " " for Gust too)
 <Ramon> (Sorry didn't find the time to read it)
 <Gustbran> (the story about kicking a magus in the arse?)
 <Silas_> (... I... don't think that was it...  :p )
 <Ramon> (CJ every 2h 24Min Sedala recover 1 Might and after the growth she was down at 5 from 10)
 <Gustbran> (I didn't think so myself...)
 <CJ> (Nope the other one - http://www.litgothic.com/Texts/warning.html )
 <Silas_> (was the one with the crown that was uncovered)
 <CJ> Sedal is at MIght 7
 <Gustbran> (Oh, I hadn't read that one. I would have if I had known there was a connection)
 <CJ> Sunset is approaching - whgat are your plans as the Sun goes down? Will Sedla's powers end at Sunset?
 <Ramon> (no 10- Size 2 +2from Improved might)
 <CJ> (ie will you suddenly all be on a normal sized Pegasus?)
 <Ramon> (Yes sedala will look for a place to land)
 <CJ> OK, Sedala make a Percepton + Hunt roll
 <Ramon> (its Sun duration)
 <Silas_> (falling to our deaths as the sound of the Pegasus' back snaps)
 <CJ> or Perception + Awareness rather
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10 (Untrained)
 <MM_BOT> Ramon, (Untrained): 2
 <Calpurnia> (except me and baruch who can fly)
 <Calpurnia> (oh and class)
 <CJ> Roll Perception + Awareness
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10+2 (Ramon looking also)
 <MM_BOT> Ramon, (Ramon looking also):  3 :1+2
 <CJ> Everyone can if they like?
 <Silas_> (I'll stop worrying then, its only half the group who falls screaming to their death ^^)
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10
 <MM_BOT> Ramon: 10
 <Calpurnia> 22
 <Ramon> (So 22)
 <CJ> roll for botch RAmon
 <Calpurnia> you can botch on doubles
 <Calpurnia> ?
 * Silas_ still snores gently with Edith tugged into the sleeve
 <Ramon> (No botch it was rerolö)
 <CJ> oh sorry missed first roll
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10+3
 <MM_BOT> Gustbran:  4 :1+3
 <CJ> Right you saw a huge white horse cut in ot the side of a hill, outlined in chalk an hour ago. The mag missed that
 <CJ> Now Ramon sees the following: you are flying over a heavily wooded hilly area, with five deep valleys
 <CJ> There are small towns and chuches in the valleys, but the area is pretty wild and unsettled
 <CJ> Ahead of you, a few minutes flight away is a lot of open plains, then another drop down to a city, walled and with an immense cathedral, which is on one side of a very large river, much larger than the Thames was where you saw it, myabe three to four times the width
 <Ramon> (Any clearing big enough for Sedala to land? Preferable on a path.=
 <CJ> There is a ridge on the right, and a hollow surrounding a tiny town or village in the valley
 <CJ> You can reach any of these places before sunset
 <CJ> If anyone has Area Lore I can tell you more
 <Baruch> (nope)
 <CJ> You can decide where to land. Yes there are hollows.
 <CJ> Corvus tells you the city is the Port of Gloucester, on the River Severn Estaury. He suggests the woods above it on the hills as a good place to camp
 <Gustbran> (Area Lore: Covenant: Area 5 I don't think that counts?)
 <Ramon> "Sir crow there some good places to land nearby for having a meal around dusk" Where are you sugesting to have a break?
 <CJ> Gustbran make a roll of that at 2 (-3 for not being local) and your INT
 <CJ> Sedal will be tired and need rest, so yes says Corvus. "I can fly no further today"
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10+1
 <MM_BOT> Gustbran:  4 :3+1
 <Gustbran> (gah)
 <Ramon> (YOu know she have no endurance?)
 <CJ> Gustbran you know Gloucester is a big port and cathedral city which is a favourite place for King John. Thats about it
 <Ramon> (3 No Fatigue !!!!)
 <Calpurnia> (well isn't that great)
 <CJ> (Yes, but Corvus has :) )
 <Ramon> (Ahh sure :) )
 <CJ> Anyway where you landing?
 * Silas_ mutters something in his sleep
 <Ramon> (at a path near the plains)
 <Baruch> "I would prefer camping in the woods, if you don't mind. I'm uncomfortable near cathedrals and the like."
 <Calpurnia> "Agreed"
 <CJ> You choose a small wooded area just off a road on the ridge at the edge of the plains. You can see Gloucester 6 miles away and below you, and are about 2 miles above the town
 <Ramon> (Ok then near the wood where is a big enough opening
 <CJ> brb
 <Silas_> zzZzzzZZzz
 <Silas_> (hopes we don't fall to our death while I am sleeping, would be a sad end to my poor and precious life)
 <Calpurnia> (well it wouldn't be a party wipe, so you would be able to come back in)
 <Gustbran> (I'm sure gustbran's screaming would wake you up)
 <Silas_> (when you've raised me as a ghoul? ^^)
 <Ramon> (unless your be dead Class can stop that you get killed from the afterefects ;) )
 <Silas_> (I hope not... I don't particularly like brains...)
 <CJ> {OK back: Lisa has mislaid her bank card}
 <CJ> You land ion the woods
 <CJ> and there osmthing odd happens
 <CJ> Remember i mentioned the little town in the valley?
 <Ramon> yes
 <Gustbran> (yup)
 <Silas_> (yeeesss...?)
 <Silas_> (has a terrible feeling)
 <Ramon> (err missed the () )
 * Gustbran gets a bad feeling in his gut
 <Silas_> (Remember when I said you could easily land before you all fell to your death? - yeeees? - I lied! *muahaha*)
 <Gustbran> (the suspense is killing me!)
 <Silas_> (damn my imagination...)
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10+3 (Magic Theory Regiones)
 <MM_BOT> Ramon, (Magic Theory Regiones):  4 :1+3
 <CJ> Makara says "thatis the source, the place I must be. I am there already. I shall see oyu all soon - and starts to make his way down the valley)
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10
 <MM_BOT> Ramon: 4
 <Calpurnia> "we may leave you, you sure you want to go?"
 <Silas_> (would I've woken from the landing?)
 <Ramon> (11 err Magic Lore / Regiones)
 <CJ> You are all awake now.
 <CJ> Corvus suggest you make camp
 * Silas_ pulls Edith out of the sleeve
 <Ramon> "Yes a good Idea im no Human of the night"
 <CJ> This is the direction Makara wants to walk on his own
 <CJ> http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/cheltenham-from-leckhampton-hill-gloucestershire-61681
 <Silas_> "Do we just let Makara go?"
 <Calpurnia> (well he's dead)
 <CJ> Again he mutters " "thatis the source, the place I must be. I am there already."
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10+2 (General Survival roll for the camp location Per based)
 <MM_BOT> Ramon, (General Survival roll for the camp location Per based):  10 :8+2
 * Gustbran is content to keep a lookout of the immediate area.
 * Silas_ yawns
 -->| Baruch_ ([email protected]) has joined #wizardbase
 <CJ> Ramon, in the woods just here seems the best place, just below the ridge edge
 <CJ> http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr360/mattandbimpy/Wedding%20Favs%202009/General/250910_013.jpg
 * Ramon set up the camp
 =-= Ramon is now known as Class
 <CJ> OK, the sun is setting now. What do you all have to do when the sun sets? Baruch is used to this, but the others not so!
 <Baruch_> (What am I used to? Did I miss something when I dropped?)
 <Silas_> (Redo the Parma ?)
 * Class fly up to search for food
 <CJ> Putting Parma Magic up!
 <CJ> It's sundown - everyones Parma has just dropped
 <Class> (Oh yes ^^)
 <Baruch_> (Oh, that's what you mean :D)
 <Calpurnia> (so what do we do?)
 <CJ> You all (apart from Gustbran) need to spend two minutes performing the rite!
 <Class> (Ok this first ^^)
 <Calpurnia> (Oh yeah everyone suddenly is unnerved by Calpurnina due to parma magic drop)
 <Class> (And beside Ramon)
 * Gustbran goes off to collect firewood.
 <CJ> (Calpurnia, you feel very comfortable, almost nostalgic in the shadow of that rock)
 * Silas_ waits a bit, watching if Edith experiences any changes
 <CJ> Makara is walking off through the trees
 <Calpurnia> o_O "huh" she does the parma magic ritual.
 =-= Baruch_ is now known as Baruch
 <Silas_> (wanting to see if she reverts back to human ^^)
 <CJ> Silas, where are you poutting Edith? Still in your sleeve?
 <CJ> putting even
 * Silas_ sighs and does the parma magic ritual
 <Silas_> (took her out as we landed - so I am placing her down so I can cast properly)
 <Class> !roll 1d10+5 (Int Heartbeast roll to keep instincts in check)
 <MM_BOT> Class, (Int Heartbeast roll to keep instincts in check):  8 :3+5
 <Calpurnia> (what happens if class fails that?)
 <CJ> Edith suddenly appears, looking really annoyed. She is fully dressed, has her shortsword, and her first words as she grabs it from her belt are "I'll kill the bast...."
 <Class> (Now mouse and Owl? What are you thinking?)
 <CJ> Class, that mouse looks too tasty. You start to edge before it, and then dinner suddenly turns in to a auburn haired woman. How annoying!
 <Calpurnia> "Class how about we go hunting?"
 <CJ> Makara has vanished downwards through the trees
 * Silas_ tries to keep focus on the ritual
 <CJ> Edith is in a state of considerable confusion
 <CJ> Gustbran, you making a camp fire and sorting out a shelter? It is snowing hard
 <CJ> OK, Parma up now Silas
 <CJ> And the sun has set
 * Class cast Voice of the Bjornaer Magus
 <Gustbran> (Yes. Depending on how much time has past.)
 * Silas_ moves to Edith, motioning to calm her down
 <Class> "Sorry Calpurnia I will huunt allow as I have other food need as you"
 <Silas_> "Do you remember what happened Edith? You were a mouse..."
 <CJ> OK Gustbram, make an Int + Survibal roll
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10+1
 <MM_BOT> Gustbran:  9 :8+1
 <CJ> Edith: "Eeek! Of course i remeber. That .... magus Stephen Eriditus said he would not keep the promise, and it me with a stick. Got any cheese?"
 <CJ> she wriggles her nose in a peculiar manner
 <Baruch> "Why did he wish you harm, Edith? Do you know?"
 * Silas_ blinks
 <CJ> "oi reckon he tuned me in ot a mouse 'e did!"
 <Class> !roll 1d10+5 (Hunting for food +1 if tracking specialisation help)
 <MM_BOT> Class, (Hunting for food +1 if tracking specialisation help):  6 :1+5
 <CJ> "he would not keep the promise! Got any cheese? i'm 'ungry!" complains Edith (all in Latin)
 <Class> !roll 1d10
 <MM_BOT> Class: 5
 <Silas_> "It would probably be best if you stopped thinking too much like a mouse..."
 <Baruch> "Which promise would that be, Edith? Please tell me, you'll get cheese."
 <CJ> OK Class, you can find enough to feed yourself for a week.
 <CJ> Gustbran, you seen http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr360/mattandbimpy/Wedding%20Favs%202009/General/250910_013.jpg
 <Class> (so 15  or 16 if Tracking helps on this one)
 <CJ> Under the rock formation (called a chimney) ther eis a narrow crack that leads to a natural cave. It's prtetty small though, but could sleep five p[eople, if all crammed together
 =-= Class is now known as Ramon
 <Gustbran> "Wait, Who's this, now!?"
 <CJ> Class you also observe Makara walking patiently and purposefully down hill, mutterring to himself as he heads for that town in the valley.
 * Ramon put a blanket on Sedala and sudenly her wings are gone
 <Gustbran> (Was out of hearing range of the transformation of edith, I assume)
 <Silas_> "It had something to do with a crown, I remember Helpax telling. - do YOU remember what the promice was Edith?"
 =-= Ramon is now known as class
 <CJ> Corvus flies past, catching his evening meal - "Cheltenham" he cries - "nothing there but mud and peasants, and more mud"
 =-= class is now known as Class
 <Class> "I will follow here can you tell the others?"
 <CJ> Edith looks at you Silas. "Well you know the legend" she says? "Now cheeses!"
 <CJ> Corvus croaks assent and flies back to camp
 * Class follows Helpax
 <CJ> (yes Gustbran)
 * Silas_ frowns
 <CJ> (makara!)
 <Gustbran> "cheese..? you were that mouse, which means...!!!!!"
 <CJ> :)
 * Silas_ blinks
 <Class> (thought just 1 day have not this negative effect but apearently was wrong on this)
 <CJ> Edith si your pretty young niece. Lovely lass, shapely looking with fury of a hellcat if annoyed
 <Gustbran> "EDITH! I haven't seen you since you were a babe!"
 <Silas_> "Ah right, I almost forgot..." moves back a bit to make room for Gustbran
 <CJ> Edith looks doubtfully at her cousin. "Hello Gustbran" she says "I have heard a great deal about you"
 <CJ> Silas Int + Magic Theory
 <Gustbran> "HAHAHA! Nothing too awful, I hope!"
 <CJ> Edith to Gustbran "well none of it was exactly good!!!"
 * Gustbran laughs hard at this!
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10 +3(Magic Theory but with mentem focus)
 <MM_BOT> Silas_, +3(Magic Theory but with mentem focus): 8
 <CJ> OK, two possibilities Silas.  Firstly, the spell may have been 6th magnitude or above, and Warped the girl permanently. Secondly, may just be a reaction to the spell and will wear off in time, proabbly quickly
 <CJ> If you want to spend confidence will tell you more
 <Silas_> (yeah, I was fearing the first and hoping the later)
 <CJ> Class, Makara has reached bottom of hill and is walking the two miles in to town now
 <Silas_> (... fine..)
 <CJ> You spending a point?
 <Silas_> (yep)
 <Silas_> (1 sec, marking it down as well)
 <CJ> OK, the spell was below 30, and all that si happeneing is she is very confused. A good nighst sleep will osrt it out, but there could be permanent effects unless eh is helped to recover with some Mentem effects
 * Class gain a bit hight and fly ahead of her to bether see whats there
 <CJ> or Folk Ken rolls ot reassure her
 <CJ> a grubby village on the edge of a marsh, with a river flowing down the high street
 <CJ> a fine looking church, and rows of little cottages, many shabby
 <CJ> One large inn, with a plough haning as a sign outside the door, and a bundle of vines to show they sell wine
 <CJ> hanging as a
 <CJ> You can fly back to camp and still easily get back to Makara before he reaches town
 * Silas_ moves to Baruch while Gust and Edith talks, keeping half an eye on her
 <Class> (Yea so its a small peasant village who have regulare trafik)
 <CJ> Yep, on the road from Gloucester to somewhere east of there. But a really insignificanyt little place, that has somehow come to obsess Makara
 <CJ> Calpurnia you about?
 <Baruch> "She's still a little disoriented, isn't she? Unfortunate. For her, of course, but also for us, as it would be good to know a little more about Stephen's intentions."
 <Silas_> "[whispering to Baruch] do you suppose the spell she suffered needs something to correct her mind? - sleep would likely help but... I fear the worst"
 <Baruch> (To silas)
 <Calpurnia> (I am confused)
 <Baruch> "It is difficult to tell - I am certainly no expert in such things, but I do suspect time should do the work for us here."
 <Calpurnia> !roll 1d10+2
 <MM_BOT> Calpurnia:  12 :10+2
 <Calpurnia> (I hate bot)
 <CJ> Gustbran, that cave was very warm. Something makes you want to return there.
 <CJ> OK roll botch
 <Silas_> "[still in a low voice] mhm... I worry that I may do more harm than good by trying to meddle here... but..."
 <Silas_> (it is the 'Missing Makara bot' not surprising Calpurnia ^^)
 <Calpurnia> !roll 1d10
 <MM_BOT> Calpurnia: 8
 * Gustbran resists the urge to go in the cave and puts another piece of firewood on the fire.
 * Class bether continue to keep a eye on Makara and survey the area if there is something else
 <CJ> OK Calpurnia, you have absolutely no idea at all why Makara has walked off. If oyu spend a point of confidence I can give you a fairly useless clue
 <CJ> (but ti will be sueless, as you will only have scored 5)
 <Silas_> (haha)
 <CJ> (useless... even!)
 <Calpurnia> (I'll keep my cofidence thank you)
 <Baruch> "Yes, well. You are the one who should decide, I feel. Perhaps wait and intervene if necessary?"
 <Silas_> (it'll likely sueless too)
 <Gustbran> (haha)
 <Class> (Did Ramon with his Magic Lore check for Regios detekt any visible signs of influence of a other regio?)
 <Silas_> Silas nods "I will wait then."
 <CJ> Right: to summarise - Edith wants cheese. She is now curled up by the fire, in a really odd way for a girl. Makara has set off to a local town for no obvious reason. Corvus has flown up a tree now to sleep. Class has eaten and is watching Makara. Gutsbran found a cave but is avoiding it. Silas and Brauch are talking and Calpurnia is looking dazed.
 <Silas_> (Everything is as it should be then)
 <Calpurnia> (not surprising as I failed the interpretting roll and am actually confused)
 <Silas_> (hehe)
 <Gustbran> (haha)
 <CJ> Ramon ever saw a regio, but does find this place slightly odd. Likes it though
 <Silas_> (confused about what?)
 <Baruch> "I am getting tired. Let us get some rest, shall we? You mentioned a cave?"
 <Class> (Think was a roll of 22 he haved but is already scrolled out of my loging)
 * Silas_ stifles a yawn
 <CJ> Calpurnia, make a roll with +4 please
 =-= Class is now known as Ramon
 <Gustbran> "It is getting late. I will take the first watch."
 <Calpurnia> !roll 1d10+4
 <MM_BOT> Calpurnia:  14 :10+4
 <Baruch> (haha)
 <Calpurnia> !roll 1d10
 <MM_BOT> Calpurnia: 7
 <Baruch> "Thank you, Gustbran. I am off to sleep, then." Heads for cave
 <CJ> Yes, there is something odd about this place. You need Second Sight not ta lore to see auras and regiones, but thsi place is rather nice, and has a magic aura of 2 as far as Ramon can work out
 <Ramon> "Sir Baruch im not sure but something is a bit off with this place we are now could one of you mages chack for any magic influence we have here?"
 <CJ> Calpurnia, you are really happy here
 * Calpurnia sits down and has a nap.
 <CJ> Brauch, as you enter the cave, well it is oh so comfortable! You will have a lovely nights sleep in here.
 <CJ> The cave would be better Calpurnia?
 <Calpurnia> (I thought I was in it, okay i go into the cave)
 <CJ> Edith is talking about cheese
 <Baruch> (Before entering) "Yes, well. You may be right, but I cannot see anything wrong. Anyone else?"
 <Calpurnia> (oh yeah, oh shit I think we should be ready for combat)
 <Calpurnia> (I'm pretty certain I know what we are going to find some time)
 <Gustbran> (that's why I took first watch^^)
 <Silas_> Silas heads over to Edith "Try not to think of cheese or like a mouse. Try getting some sleep"
 <Baruch> (I could try some intellego vim on the cave before we go to sleep)
 <CJ> CAlpurnia, this place brings back happy memories of your childhood. In fact it is almost exactly like  cave you slept in back then as a little girl. ALMOST EXACTLY LIKE. It feels the same
 * Ramon sleep in his small tent
 <Calpurnia> (Oh this is very bad)
 <Ramon> (dont like to sleep in a cave when Sidala walks around outside)
 <CJ> Edith to Silas " Give me cheese or I cut your tail off!"
 <Calpurnia> whispers "hmmm like home"
 <Baruch> (My total is just 8, +2 for shouting, so I'll cast the most sensitive intellego vim spell I can)
 <Silas_> "..."
 <CJ> OK go for it
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+10
 <MM_BOT> Baruch:  19 :9+10
 <Gustbran> (whooo!)
 <CJ> OK, make a Per + Finesse roll Baruch

 <Silas_> (Can I try a sleep spell on Edith? ^^)
 <CJ> Sure Silas
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+1 (specialty would be auram, but probably doesn't apply, so I didn't include it)
 <MM_BOT> Baruch, (specialty would be auram, but probably doesn't apply, so I didn't include it):  3 :2+1
 <Baruch> (well fuck)
 <CJ> "Cheese!" shouts Edith. She eeks excitedly
 <Silas_> (That is Rego mentem?)
 <CJ> Baruch Magic aura strength 2. Want to spend a point of confidence?
 <CJ> Yep.
 <Baruch> (Yeah)
 <CJ> (Something not quite normal about the aura. You can't work out what, but it is subtly wrong)
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10+20 (no waving or loud noises - don't think it would help)
 <MM_BOT> Silas_, (no waving or loud noises - don't think it would help):  27 :7+20
 <Baruch> "It seems Ramon was right. There is something odd about this location. I cannot tell what, though. Would any of you others care to try?"
 <CJ> Edith falls asleep
 * Silas_ breathes a sigh of relief
 <CJ> Class, MAkara has reached the town, and has walked past the Church and down the High Street
 * Calpurnia just sitting down in deep thought
 <Gustbran> (I'm at the entrance of this cave, not in it, right? Still within shouting range?)
 <CJ> Yep
 <Silas_> "What were you trying?" [to Baruch]

 <Ramon> (CJ Regio speciality was picked because Sedala know spacial ways)
 <Baruch> "I attempted to identify any magics or auras here by magical means. Intellego and Vim are not my strong suite, however; I failed to quite comprehend what is going on here."
 <CJ> Yep, and knows about Regios
 <Silas_> "Oh.. I can try, but... yes. I can try"
 <CJ> Ramon is sure something si odd about thsi place, thjough it appears ot be magical. No regio here

 <Silas_> (probably typing or checking something ^^)
 <CJ> Silas sorry was typing directly to someone.
 <Silas_> (in short - we are %¤&!!ed)
 <Ramon> (Sorry was just looking strange sudenly such a silence ^^)
 <CJ> OK you can tell something slightly wrong, but you ar ein a magic aura. You only notice cos Baruch said
 <Silas_> (mhm)
 <Silas_> "I can't sense anything either. Something small, but..." [to Baruch]
 <Ramon> (We all need Vim training when we are back ;) )
 <Gustbran> (Scream and at least gustbran will come!)
 <Silas_> (hehe no kidding)
 <Gustbran> (small consolation, but...)
 <Baruch> "Hm. Well, there is little we can do about it. Let us sleep and face the trouble when it comes."
 <CJ> Gustbran, Per + Awareness

 <Gustbran> (gustbran notices this?)
 <Silas_> (haha I had forgotten, ah well, my mage is growing more distracted than he would care to admit)
 <Calpurnia> (what's the negative modifier of casting spells and can I use demon's eternal oblivion?)
 <Ramon> (oO the one who could give night sight is away ^^)
 * Gustbran tries to keep alert without making a sound.
 <CJ> RAmon Per + Awarenes please
 <Calpurnia> Whispers "Leave us or I shall send you to your eternal oblivion"

 <Calpurnia> Oh yeah I have something that may change somethg
 <Ramon> (Today its Calpurnia Hate bot?!)
 <CJ> Inside the cave, Calpurnia starts whispering to "something". Only Silas notices, but pays little attention. Ouside Gustbran suddenly shouts loudly at the bloke climbing doewn the cliff - he panics, and runs off at great speed soewn hill, taking great leaps and bounds. Gustbran and Ramon relaise he was a petty bandit probably.
 <CJ> Then Calpurnia comes hurtling out of the cave, her eyes glowing red. she grabs a couple of the backpacks, and acting like a feral animal runs off through the show down hill, nut suddenly drops the bags
 <Calpurnia> (goody)
 <CJ> She sees the bandit and gives cvhase, making an animalistic holwling noise
 <Silas_> (holy crap...)
 <CJ> In facts she hulrs ater him like a wolf, making blood curdling noises

 <CJ> Silas, Baruch suddenly grabs your leg and bites it hard, drawing blood
 <CJ> You don't get to Edith
 <Silas_> (av!)
 <Silas_> "Av! - what are you DOING?!"
 <CJ> Edith meanwhile is chewing her way through one of Class's boots from his bag, eating the leather
 <Calpurnia> (yay Baruch let us devour our comrades yay)
 * Silas_ tries to push Baruch away
 <CJ> BAruch, you bote the ham, then wake up to find your teeth in Silas leg

 <CJ> Gustbran, Ramon, actiosn please?
 <Silas_> (We can see Edith in the cave?)
 <Calpurnia> (how close is calpurnia to the bandit?)

 <CJ> Ramon you ar eon Sedala and will get to bandit this round

 <CJ> Helpax has wandered off btw!
 <Baruch> Yeah, I'll follow Ramon
 <CJ> No one saw him leave
 * Silas_ tries to grab Edith and hold her away from Gust

 <Gustbran> "Just give her some cheese!"

 <CJ> attack roll + Dex, rise yes too
 <Ramon> (I expect mounted combat need ride roll also)
 <CJ> Baruch, your balst of wind send the bandut and Calpurnia flying. What do they need to resist it? Let's think - the spell is a Creo Auram, so magic wind. First what level is the spell?
 <Baruch> (level 15)
 <CJ> So 31 penetration , Calpurnai and the bandit will be blown clean off the cliff :)

 <Gustbran> "Please look after edith, Sir Silas. I'm going to see if I can help any." and rushes off after them.
 <CJ> Sedala what you doing

 <Silas_> (back)
 <CJ> The bandit collapses on the floor, shivering violently
 <Gustbran> "What happened!?"
 <CJ> OK I need 5 minutes.
 <Calpurnia> "ugh.. Who the hell are you"
 <CJ> As we are all confused keep going till I get back - just popping to kitchen
 <Calpurnia> (talking to bandit)
 <Baruch> I'll stop the wind
 * Calpurnia pokes bandit
 <Ramon> "What happened to you Calprnia you where sudenly like a wild beast!"
 <Gustbran> "that's just a bandit I caught trying to sneak past me. But... What happened to you...?"
 <Baruch> "You seemed to suffer the ill effects of this place worse than the rest of us, Calpurnia."
 <Ramon> "So I was right that something is off here?"
 <Silas_> (hey! it wasn't your leg that was chewed on Baruch :p )
 <Calpurnia> "ugh" points to cave "don't go in there. Demons lots and lots of demons of gluttony" falls on back
 <Baruch> "The boy here seems to have been harmed quite severely by Sedala's breath, we should try to help him."
 <Baruch> "Yes, I thought as much."
 <Calpurnia> "And a infernal aura suggest we leave"
 <Ramon> "You want to help a bandit?"
 <Gustbran> "Everything is under control now, right?"
 * Gustbran asks hopefully
 <Calpurnia> "Also Class you may look tasty, but your too fluffy to eat." falls on back and takes a nap
 <Baruch> "Well, how do you know whether he is a bandit? And even if he is, he hardly deserved this."
 <Baruch> "Well, Gustbran, it seems Helpax and Makara are missing. We really should try to find them before leaving."
 <Ramon> "Oh you prefer we hang him?"
 <Ramon> (Class is still not back)
 <Calpurnia> ( I should mention CJ was trying his best I do believe for me to eat class)
 <Baruch> "Well, no, I would prefer we apologize to him for Calpurnia trying to eat him, and for Sedala trying to kill him, frankly."
 <Ramon> "He tryed to sneak up on us what would he expect?"
 <Gustbran> "He was carrying a sack for pilfering things. I'd say he was a bandit."
 <Calpurnia> "Why would I eat him" looks at bandit "He looks like a bandit anyway"
 <Baruch> "Bahh, you are hopeless. Is anyone going to help him, or must I try my meager means?"
 * Ramon still point his spear toward the Bandit
 <Gustbran> "I will help if I can, but I'm afraid I'm useless at thawing things."
 <Calpurnia> "Looks like it Baruch, sorry, but after that tumble I need to rest."
 <CJ> (nback)
 <Ramon> "YOu help him an then? let him come back with friends?"
 <Gustbran> "We should at least interrogate him."

 <CJ> Makara throws a pebble at it
 <Ramon> (Class fly back when this target become obvious)
 <Baruch> My spell succeeds; so I cast a spell on the bandit, but nothing really happens, except maybe he seems a little better off
 <CJ> A few moment later the door opens, and a very unkempt clerk opens the door and looks at Makara.
 <CJ> they speak in latin, and makara enters the cottage
 <CJ> Class flies back to the camp
 <CJ> Will tell you when you arrive
 <Ramon> (Ok thats enough for Class he will get to the camp)

 <CJ> Derek to Gustbran " I heard voices so I can to take a look- see! Then that mad thing" (points at Calpurnia) she tried to eat me"
 <CJ> "I though she was the Cranham werewolf!"
 <Baruch> "What do you think, everyone? Should we try another spot in the woods, or the village?"
 <Silas_> (When did Helpax go missing, he was with us on the pegasus right?)
 <Calpurnia> !roll 1d10+7 not including blatant gift
 <Baruch> "We have lost our guide, and Helpax, and Makara, so we cannot go very far."
 <Gustbran> "You started running before that. If you were doing nothing wrong, she MIGHT not have tried to eat you!"
 <MM_BOT> Calpurnia, not including blatant gift:  11 :4+7
 <CJ> "And why are you camping atthe Devil's Chimney? You diabolists? How do I sell me soul for hot gold? I want to make a pact too!"
 <CJ> The bandit wets himself in terror at Calpurnia
 <Calpurnia> (intimidating the bandit into submission at that remark)
 <Gustbran> "Devil's Chimney!?"
 <CJ> Derek is shaking badly, from the cold or the fear you know not
 <Ramon> "What doese he say?"
 <Gustbran> to the others "what's this 'devil's chimney'?"
 <CJ> Derek points at the Deviol's Chimney above the cave
 <CJ> http://www.cotswoldhillsgeopark.net/images/hi-res/devils_chimney.jpg
 <CJ> (see link)
 <Calpurnia> (funnily enough I'm pretty certain I've heard of devil's chimney before)
 <CJ> Can you see the pictures?
 <Gustbran> (I was asking the others in latin if they know anything about it lorewise)
 <CJ> (I post links ot places sometimes, just checking you can see them)
 <Gustbran> (I can see it)
 <Silas_> (yep it works :) )
 <Calpurnia> "Don't know, but there are demons in it that's for certain" (in latin)
 <Ramon> "What have he told I dont understand English!"
 <CJ> Thts i the entrance to cave and from where you are standing now
 <Baruch> "I am not familiar with it, per se, but this is probably what has been causing us trouble."
 <Gustbran> "He claims that it is a spot for diabolists to sell people's souls"
 <CJ> Class make a Perception + Awareness roll please
 <Ramon> "Not good!"
 <CJ> "So come on, what do I have to sign and how much do I get?" asks Derek
 <Baruch> "Ah, yes. Well. The good news is that we should be able to cample safely if we simply stay away from thís cave."
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10+5 (Class +1 if Alertness)
 <MM_BOT> Ramon, (Class +1 if Alertness):  11 :6+5
 <Silas_> (eager young man, you have to give credit where it is due)
 <CJ> Class, over the town below in the valley the sky for a second lights up with a house criamon sign, which burts like a firework. Then a funny shaped cloud settles above the roof of the house Makar aentered.
 <Ramon> "So he is a Diabolist not a Bandit?"
 <Baruch> (Does someone have to go? How much longer can we play? I need to know, but am able to go on longer yet)
 <Silas_> (good interpretation ^^)
 <Gustbran> "he thinks that we are Diabolists for camping there, but he almost certainly is a bandit, though he claims innocence. Take that for what you will."
 <Ramon> "I think there is a Criamon hous where Makara entered and they probably whant us to come also"
 <Gustbran> (I'm good to play till whenever)
 <CJ> Derek " I want my manhood the size of a marrow, I want the gift to impress the ladies, I want my sack full of silver an I want to never go hungry again. Tell his Satanic Majesty he can 'ave me soul for that. I ain't greedy!"
 <Silas_> (I'm good, though I can use a few minutes to get a drink and some food)
 * Calpurnia "what the hell did he say"
 <Ramon> (I need some longer break in the next hour but then I'm fine)
 <Gustbran> to the bandit "We aren't diabolists, you moron!"
 <CJ> (I'm of for a while as i was late :( I was up being ill in the night - hence my more confused and weary than normal state. Nor more than an hour thirty for me I need some rest, but as pothers. Can end now if need be. Up to you)
 <Baruch> (Yes, I could use a food break as well, but then I'd be good to continue for a bit)
 <CJ> Derek to Gustbran "By Saint Oswald's bones I'm gald to hear that, em being the pious man I am! I thought I was a dead umn for sure!"
 <Ramon> (I think we sould play the resetle to the Criamon house and end there)
 <Ramon> (Lol he try to talk after your mouth ^^)
 <Silas_> (ah sorry to hear CJ, hope you have a good recovery)
 <CJ> "I thought you were all demon types, and my old man being the Bishop of Gloucester too!"
 <CJ> (one more hour ok with everyone, ten minute break in a few minutes?)
 <Baruch> (Ok)
 <CJ> "What your name fellow?" to Gutsbran
 <Gustbran> (sounds good)
 <Calpurnia> (ok)
 <Silas_> (sounds good if you can muster it)
 =-= Ramon is now known as Class
 <CJ> "I'm a real honest fellow, and I'm so glad to see you all" -- "but I'm freezing and dying I tell ye" says Derek
 <Class> "If we let this person go can someone of us change his mind and I will give him a bether recovery"
 <CJ> Ok, ten minute break now
 <Gustbran> (ok)
 <Baruch> (OK)
 <Class> "I think it would be good if he think it was a dream"
 <CJ> Need to go buy gas as Becky wants ot cook, and we have run out (Yes I am that poor!)
 <Silas_> (ok, see you in a bit then)
 <Class> (Beside who do the log today?)
 <Silas_> I am logging)
 <Calpurnia> (i do have logging on, unless it's lying to me)
 <Class> (great :) )
 <Class> (I have to fix  lines from Ramon to Class so fare :( )
 <Class> (err 4 lines)
 <Gustbran> (I'll copy the text before I sign off just in case.)
 <Class> (Still cant handle this changing betwean 2 chars)
 <Silas_> do you want to do the summary  Calpurnia? or someone else? if not I can give it a go
 <Silas_> hehe it is ok Class, I think we understand it, even if it is a bit cryptic at times :)
 <Calpurnia> Hmm we could give it to Nyaa to do it. I I do have some idea what's going on.
 <Gustbran> (I am so glad I stayed out of that cave. I surely would have been in big trouble)
 <Silas_> (hehe)
 <Silas_> (lovely cave)
 <Class> (Yes think it was good the normal people stayed outside)
 <Calpurnia> (I tried to intimidate the demon.)
 <Silas_> (did it work?)
 <Gustbran> (Until class brought edith in there! What were you thinking!)
 <Gustbran> (I mean silas!_
 <Calpurnia> (what do you thinK?)
 <Gustbran> )
 <Silas_> (well.. I'd doubt it, but all the more impressive if it did work ^^)
 <Silas_> She was acting like a crazy person and she needs rest to get out of her cheese/mouse obsession
 <Calpurnia> (If I hadn't rolled a 10 yeah I might have)
 <Silas_> ()
 <Silas_> (Ouch)
 <Gustbran> (owie!)
 <Gustbran> (I think I'd like to do the summary for the forum. Give me something to do after we're done. I'm burned out on working on Academagia's duel rules for now.)
 <Silas_> sure thing
 <Silas_> it seems a bit much to ask Nyaa to do a summary that he didn't even attend
 <CJ> ok I'm back now. Sorry about that
 <Silas_> wb
 <Silas_> (phew, nearly spilled my water over the keyboard :p )
 <CJ> Right apologies for the delay today
 <Calpurnia> It does keep everything in form though if we give it to him.
 <Silas_> (no worries CJ, just happy that it is happening :) )
 <CJ> (i have a vomiting bug I fear. game will always run if I say it will, barring me being in hopsital or something)
 <Silas_> Well, Freespace, could ask Nyaa if he'd prefer to do it, otherwise then feel free to give it a whirl ^^
 <Class> (No problem even if I nearly left today because I expected you computer broken down finaly)
 <CJ> (No my compouter is now fixed i think)
 <CJ> Right, may as well start again
 <Gustbran> "Well. The man ran because this place is infamous for being a place for diabolism. I now think he ran because he feared having his soul taken."
 <CJ> OK, so what are you doing with poor Derek?
 <Silas_> (Is Calpurnia back?)
 <Silas_> (or... everyone, rather)
 <Calpurnia> yes
 <Silas_> (think that is all then ^^- sorry to interrupt)
 <Class> (I sugested to change his mind that he think he sleept in outside and got his cold from this beside that Class thake chare that he recover)
 <CJ> CAn anyone cast that spell?
 <Class> (and think what happened to him was a dream)
 <CJ> A Muto Mentem effect?
 <Baruch> (back)
 <CJ> It will work, but when the spell duration ends he will recall what really happened
 <Class> (We have a Mentem specialist or not?)
 <Silas_> (probably not as well as it is required - and I'm still dragging edith in that general direction)
 <CJ> Perdo Mentem would remove the memory, but leave him with an odd gap in his memory
 <CJ> Edith is FAST asleep now
 <Silas_> (hence the dragging :p )
 <CJ> is BAruch back? Think he si cvooking some food
 <CJ> I'm getting Becky to do that
 <Baruch> (back)
 <CJ> OK, time in
 <Silas_> (Out of curiousity, how difficult a muto/mentem are we talking about?)
 <CJ> Derek "the cold. It burns. I'm so tired"
 <Class> "Who was our Mentem expert again?"
 * Silas_ mutters something about Baruch's bite being worse than his bark
 <CJ> Level 10 will be enough to make him think it was all a dream till dawn.
 <Silas_> (I think either me or Helpax has the highest Mentem, not sure tho)
 <CJ> Level 15 would last 28 days
 <CJ> Any more than that would be a year, take a ritual and 4 pawns of either Muto or Mentem vis, at levell 20
 <CJ> This is touch range
 <CJ> You would nbeed him to be asleep first obviously
 * Gustbran stands back from derek.
 <Baruch> (What is thaT? Muto? Perdo? Can I do anything with rego or creo mentem 10?)
 <Silas_> (I got that trick pinned down though ^^)
 <CJ> Creo Mentem 20 would create a false memory that lasts till Dawn
 <CJ> The spells I was describing are Muto Mentem
 <Baruch> "I suggest we put him to sleep; that should delay any consequences till dawn."
 <Class> "Good I dea and I put healing on him when he sleep"
 <CJ> Perdo Mentem 15 would destroy all 5 minutes from the time he came down the hill till now. Loss of but A Moment's Memory
 <Silas_> (maffioso-like "I think he needs to sleep see?" hehe)
 <Class> "Or he wont make it in this cold"
 <Calpurnia> '... he may get possesed if he goes to sleep"
 * Gustbran sees silas dragging poor edith and runs to help carry her properly.
 <Baruch> "Yes, well, that is a risk we must take. He is not in the cave, though."
 <CJ> Gustbran, you and ISlas can now carry Edith. She is sleeping, her features twitiching as if having a strange dream
 * Silas_ is glad for the aid even if his foot is giving him trouble
 <Baruch> "Anyone up for this?"
 <CJ> Her nose keeps wriggling oddly
 <Calpurnia> (Can I still here the voices CJ tempting?"
 <Baruch> "Silas, can you put the bandit to sleep? This is not my strong suite."
 <CJ> A Rego Vim spell will ward against demons in a circle at the level cast /2 (for penetration, odod rule I can't explain now but will one day)
 <CJ> CAlpurnia, yes the thing si still muttering at you
 <Silas_> "er.. sure"
 <Class> (what is a touch spell for sleep?)
 <CJ> Not carrying Edith you can't Silas :)
 * Silas_ gently puts Edith down
 <Calpurnia> "Baruch the demons can affect us out here."
 <Silas_> (hey now, I am not in the habit of dropping everything :p )
 <CJ> Rego Mentem 10 Call to Slumber, but Rego mentem 5 at touch range. If you have Call to Slumnber you get +2 for similar spell, bu still easier to cast it normnally
 <Class> (OK so we lost our Mentem exert then with the 2 drop outs?)
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10+22
 <MM_BOT> Silas_:  28 :6+22
 * Gustbran keeps an eye on edith while the magi plan their magic.
 <Silas_> (no waving or loud shouting, not counting aura )
 <CJ> OK, Derek falls asleep. He snores like a drunk
 <CJ> Gustbran, Percpetion + Awareness please
 * Silas_ sighs
 * Class land near him and touch im
 <CJ> Clas sperforms some odd effect. His frost burns appear to heal.
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10+3
 <MM_BOT> Gustbran:  12 :9+3
 <Silas_> "It's been a long evening already... What happened out here?"
 <Class> (+ Purfication of the Festering Wounds for 1 month extra recovery)
 <Baruch> "You said something about Makara wishing to contact us earlier, did you not, Class? Should we do this before relocating our camp for the night?"
 <Calpurnia> "A bandit basically. What you think we should do with him?"
 <Class> "I think that it was Markara"
 * Silas_ blinks
 <CJ> Gutsbran, you see Helpax wandering around on the road below. He is walking down a lane by a little village just to the west, and severla people are moving behind him in the hedge. he is unaware of them. He is is about a mile away, walking towards you
 <Baruch> (CJ: Have I recovered the 2 fatigue from earlier alraedy?"
 <Class> "at last it was the house where she fansished"
 <CJ> You have by now Baruch
 <Baruch> Ok, I'll ward the bandit against demons as high as I can.
 <Silas_> "If he is a bandit, then give him to the nearest garrison."
 <CJ> the village is small, a suburb of the town with just a few fielkds in between. It has a little church
 <CJ> OK BAruch roll please
 <Gustbran> "Humble Magi, is that not sir Helpax walking down that way" points his finger.
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+15 (no shouting or such, is there an aura?)
 <MM_BOT> Baruch, (no shouting or such, is there an aura?):  20 :5+15
 <CJ> You inscribe a circle round him
 <Class> !roll 1d10+17 (for Purfication of the Festering Wounds)
 <MM_BOT> Class, (for Purfication of the Festering Wounds):  19 :2+17
 <Class> (+ 2 from aura and +1 Stamina should be enough)
 <CJ> OK, the bandit looks uninjured now, and lie sin a Circle of Warding against Demons
 <Baruch> "Ah, Helpax. Splendid. Let us get him and Makara and we can get some sleep together."
 <Baruch> I'll fly over to Helpax
 <CJ> Baruch, you are flying over to Helpax. As you do, the figures shadowing him fall back
 <CJ> Helpax is surprised to see you
 <Baruch> "Everything in order? It seems the cave we stayed in was beset with demons."
 <CJ> Helpaxc looks puzzled.
 =-= Class is now known as Ramon
 <CJ> Helpax top Baruch: why did Corvus leave when Edith came back?
 * Ramon go down from sedala and ask her to go over to edith so she can carry her
 <CJ> Helpax to Baruch. He flew off, and i was collecting wood for the fire. Sufdeenly he rurned back to human form, and ran down hill
 <Baruch> "Corvus left then, eh? Hm. I really do not know."
 <CJ> I followed him
 <CJ> Then I saw him stand in a field, and chant.
 <CJ> He crumbles three feather sin his hand, then vanished
 <CJ> I assumed he was invsiible and went to look for tracks, and found many, but all wearing boots
 <CJ> he was barefoot
 <Baruch> "Well. That certainly sounds strange. And threatening? Perhaps we should not trust him, after all."
 * Silas_ is relieved to see Ramon taking care of Edith
 <CJ> I checked out that little village. The church is dedicated to St. peter, and apparentlyu is in a village called "Leckhampton"
 * Gustbran helps ramon
 <CJ> Helpax - "He is from Voluntas? Do we trust them?"
 =-= Ramon is now known as Class
 <Baruch> "I do not know who to trust. I am beginning to feel we should return to the covenant as soon as possible."
 <CJ> OK, you chaps load Edith on to sedala. Plan?
 * Silas_ sits and wiggles his foot, trying to see if he should be worried about Baruch's bite from earlier
 <Baruch> "Let us get back to the others, shall we?"
 <CJ> Baruch and Helpax - you are  amile away from the others
 * Baruch leads Helpax to the others
 <CJ> It will take Helpax 15 minutes ot walk back
 * Silas_ waits for Baruch's lead, while trying to figure out how best return Edith's mind on the right track
 <Baruch> (Well dang. Cannot be helped. I'll keep my eyes peeled for whoever was tailing him."
 <Baruch> "Did you notice you were being followed, by the way?"
 <CJ> OK, 15 minutes later, the nbandit is snorting, you all gather a few hundred yards from the cave
 <Class> "What happend Silas?" looking at his foot
 <CJ> Calpurnia, that voice keeps talking about food
 <Silas_> [slightly pouting] "Baruch bit me"
 <CJ> Helpax to Baruch: "followed?"
 <Calpurnia> "Hey any of you got any rations.. or mice
 <CJ> Baruch your foot is wet. You have a hole in one boot for some reason)
 <Gustbran> (haha)
 <Baruch> "Yes, a handful of shapes I saw while coming to get you. I assumed they were bandits."
 <CJ> Cass has a few dead mice he hunted in a tree
 <Class> (Doese it looks like its a wound or just  aslight bit mark?"
 <CJ> (Class jsut a mark)
 <Calpurnia> "Hey Class can I have one of those mice?"
 <Class> "Sure"
 * Silas_ looks surprised to Calpurnia
 * Gustbran is visibly weirded out.
 <Class> "But for what are you need them?"
 <Baruch> "Now, everyone. We all need rest; this location seems dangeous; Makara is at the village. What to do? Should we relocate and rest fist, or get Makara first?"
 * Calpurnia "food what else" takes mice, sits down,  and starts to feast
 * Silas_ tries not to gag
 <Silas_> !roll 1d2
 <MM_BOT> Silas_: 2
 <Calpurnia> fail
 * Gustbran gags
 <CJ> Calpurnia looks more attractive with a tail hanging out if her mouth. Looks nnormal somehow.  Apretty little girtl, but bestila somehow
 <CJ> out of her ... normal
 <Calpurnia> (LOL!!!!!!!!)
 <CJ> girl... bestial
 <CJ> Sorry I type really quick to keep up
 * Silas_ manages to keep himself from gagging, but only just
 <Silas_> (hehe it is fine ^^)
 * Calpurnia once done "thanks class. And remember next time lets hunt togeather"
 <Baruch> "I suggest we rest first. Could you try to ... I don't know... cruch less, Calpurnia?"
 <Silas_> "..."
 <Baruch> (crunch)
 <Gustbran> "...Please..."
 * Calpurnia slurps tail into mouth
 <Class> "So to the inn as we dont want to stay here, right?"
 <Baruch> "Yes, well. If we go to the village, then we should probably seek out Makara first."
 <Baruch> "I am happy with that plan. Anyone opposed?"
 <Silas_> "..." Silas tries to hid a grimace, not quite working
 <Calpurnia> "I agree the person who let Makara in may let us stay"
 <Silas_> "Yes. lets get out of here!"
 * Gustbran agrees while holding his stomach
 <Baruch> (So. The plan is to go to village and get Makara and hopefully get some sleep some time.)
 <CJ> Ok, you all walking in to town?
 * Class flying a bit ahead
 =-= Class is now known as Ramon
 <CJ> Okey doke
 <Baruch> Yeah
 <CJ> You walk down the hill, and see the village of Leckhampton off to your right.
 <Calpurnia> "I'm lurking in the middle of the group trying to hide in them"
 <Silas_> (Would be the thing to do, I don't think my stomache can handly flying :p )
 <Calpurnia> ^/me
 <Gustbran> (mine neither)
 <CJ> Cheltenham where makara went it is a mile ahead
 <Silas_> "..."
 <CJ> Calpurnia, the voice has left you now
 * Silas_ walks
 <CJ> Cheltenham is a small town of about fifty houses along a long street
 <Ramon> (Sedala is carrying Edith and Ramon looks that she dont fall of)
 <Silas_> "so, what happened to you Calpurnia?"
 <CJ> There is a fine church, and as you walk down the High Street you see a filthy stream swollen by melted snow runs down the middle
 * Silas_ tries to not meet her eye
 <CJ> plans lie across it in various places
 <Calpurnia> Whispers "old memories" "Huh, most likely the demon influenced me to eat something. From what I can gather the bandit"
 <Silas_> "ah.. ergh,.. no... see"
 <Silas_> "It was a mouse..."
 <CJ> No one on the streets
 * Gustbran resists gagging again on the memory.
 <Silas_> "You are alright now?" Looks a bit worried as he asks
 <CJ> pigeons coo on rooftops, and a slim back cat walks by, but carefully avoids yuu all
 <Calpurnia> "Hmmm, what? "Oh that, I after hearing all that talk of food I got hungry so I had a snack" "What something wrong with eating food?"
 <Silas_> "..." "no, I am sorry I brought it up"
 <Gustbran> "..Nothing. Can we please move on?"
 <CJ> The town is ringed with neat vegetable plots, but the far side has a fould smelling marsh. So does this side, but you cam ein on te road
 <CJ> Whole place is muddy, wet and smelly
 <CJ> Class Perception + Hunt
 * Calpurnia continues as if everything is normal, though seems to dislike the smell of the place
 <Silas_> "So..." "which house was it? Did Class tell you?"
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10+5 (+1extra if Track)
 <MM_BOT> Ramon, (+1extra if Track):  15 :10+5

 <Ramon> !roll 1d10
 <MM_BOT> Ramon: 9

 <CJ> way down
 =-= Ramon is now known as Class
 <Class> "this is it"
 <CJ> Juts a rowof cottages on one side of a narrow land leading to a amrsh
 <CJ> marsh
 * Baruch knocks on door
 * Silas_ jumps a bit in place, trying to stay awake
 * Gustbran looks through the front window
 <CJ> It is nearly midnight. Footsteps appraoch the door, and a little girlw ith dark hair, maybe sixteen years old openes it and looks at you. She looks a bit like Calpuria
 <CJ> "What do you want" says the gilkr, rather fiercely
 <Class> (No wonder at this time)
 <Silas_> (hehe indeed. Which language?)
 <CJ> "the brothel is two doors down. Go away!" English. Only Gustbran gets all that
 <Calpurnia> (we really do need constant time updates)
 <Baruch> "Can you give me a hand here, Gustabran?"
 <Gustbran> "Wait!"
 <Calpurnia> No silas has english right?
 <Calpurnia> That or helpax
 <Silas_> (a little bit, not sure brothel would register tho)
 <Class> (think it was Helpax)
 <Gustbran> "We are looking for an aquaintance of ours."
 <CJ> The girl looks at Gustbran, abnd then notices Calpurnia
 <CJ> "oh I see. Come in then". She smiles at Calpurnia, and leads her to a comfortable looking seat
 <Silas_> (Helpax knew it well, I can only from what Edith taught me)
 <CJ> The rtest of you criowd in ot the tiny room
 * Calpurnia O_o follows
 <CJ> "shut the door" say sthe girl "the cats will run out"
 * Silas_ closes the door
 <Class> (I think now is a good break point for next session)
 <CJ> Three cats regard you suspiciously
 <CJ> One ginger, one black, one tortoiseshell
 <CJ> Not quite yet :)
 * Class stay outside as the night is still young
 <Calpurnia> (... royal cats eh)
 * Gustbran tries to pick up the tortoiseshell.
 * Silas_ glares at the cat's suspiciously
 <CJ> the tortoisehell cat loves the attention, and makesa fuss of Gustbran
 <CJ> The cats glare at Silas suspiciously

 <CJ> The gilr looks ta Gustbran, then in Latin says "round the back"
 <CJ> to Ramon
 <Silas_> aww
 <Calpurnia> (such a cute kitty)
 <Silas_> (aww even)
 <Gustbran> (Indeed! :) )
 <Ramon> "Thanks, Gustbran and someoneles would you be so nice and Help Edith?"
 <Silas_> (and here I thought it was a greenish turtle-like cat :p )
 <CJ> "i'm Elise" says the girl. "Youi will want Chretien. He is upstairs with Gustbran."
 <CJ> She grabs some more wine, and starts to swig from a flask
 <Silas_> "I will come Ramon.."
 <Gustbran> (I thought I was still down with the others, not upstairs?)
 <CJ> The ginger cat wrubs against Calpurnias legs, purring in a very odd way
 * Calpurnia pets cat
 <Ramon> "GUSTBRAN can you lend a hand"
 <CJ> Sorry upstairs with makara - my paologies!
 <Baruch> "Thank you." -> Heads upstairs
 <Gustbran> "Sure, sure!"
 * Gustbran puts down the cat and helps ramon.
 * Ramon leave Edith to Silas and Gustbran and bring Sedala to the back
 * Silas_ gets Edith back inside with Gustbran's help
 <CJ> A few moment slater a tousle haired man of middle years appears
 <CJ> dressed a sa clerk, he seems incredibly unkempt, and has ink stained fingers
 <CJ> "AHA! I am Chretien" he announces, "and I bid you welcome."

 <CJ> Calpurnia, Elise passes you a flask of ortified wine. Viciously strong. She is clearly drunk, and judging by the choas around you no housekeeper
 <Ramon> (Dont have only House Mercer so fare)

 <CJ> Silas you are utterly confused.
 <CJ> Makara arrives,looking thoughtful
 <Ramon> "It would be good if I finaly can get some rest I was up for the complet day"
 <CJ> Chretien looks at you, and says "Yes, a magi=us of the City of Ivory and Jade"
 <Silas_> (that is about right :p )
 <Ramon> "Oh and I'm Ramon"
 <Baruch> "Ah, you are familiar? Yes."
 <CJ> You had best all sleep in kitchen. Tow of you will fit on the table, rest on the floor. Be very tight though
 <Baruch> "Thank you. We had a bad experience in the woods."
 <CJ> Chretien looks excited " I have never been there! But I have heard much of it. I am a Redcap of the Order you know!"
 <Ramon> "I will sleep like a stone, thanks"
 * Silas_ picks up at that
 * Gustbran grabs a spot in the corner of the floor.
 <CJ> Makara believes my House is linked to the Axis Magica in some way
 <CJ> Chretien says taht prudly, but has absolutely no idea what it means, you can tell by the tone of his voice.
 <CJ> Elise snarls about people interrupting her drinking.
 * Ramon haved put on his Redcap for the way
 <CJ> "bloody magicians never magic up anything useful" she mutters
 <CJ> (proudly)
 <Silas_> "Thank you for the hospitality Chretien" with a wide smile
 <Ramon> "Oh I disagree but can we keep this talk for tomorrow?"
 <Baruch> "Ah. Yes. Well, if you'll excuse us, we really must get some sleep. Very hospitable of you to accept us!"
 <CJ> Elise makes room for Calpurnia in the front room.
 <Silas_> (purely hypothetical, can you remove the intoxication from people with a mentem spell? *grin*)
 * Ramon rolls a simple blanked on the floor in the kitchen and lay down there
 * Baruch off to sleep
 <CJ> Makara returns to gazing at stars, and looks excitedly at Calpurnia, explaining all sosrt so f weird Criamon lore. Calpurnia fails ti understand any of it
 <Calpurnia> (Sounds about right, and is a little uneased at Makara's way of acting so excited)
 <CJ> Well it appears safe here, for tonight at least
 <CJ> Everyone going to sleep?
 <Ramon> (except class)
 <Calpurnia> (nope only 12:12 here
 =-= Ramon is now known as Class
 * Gustbran stays up for a bit on the floor contemplating his future.
 <Calpurnia> oh well yes for Calpurnia
 <Silas_> (I certainly am, and making sure that Edith is sleeping comfortable too, but not on the table)
 <CJ> OK, so as you sleep you have time to talk to one another, and decide what to do next. Everyone is back together in one place, and you have a redcap you can ask questions.
 <CJ> People who need to go now can, and others can ask Chretien questions for a few minute slonger
 <Class> (Class probably never haved such a extended period in his Heartbeast bevore ^^)
 <CJ> Thansk to everyone for putting up with me being late
 <Calpurnia> The moral of this session, follow Makara when he starts mindlessly wlaking around. He will lead you to a free place to sleep.
 <Silas_> haha aye
 <Gustbran> (I should have followed him from the start. ^^)
 <Silas_> "Where have you visited Chretien, if you don't mind me asking?"
 <Calpurnia> Think we could have skipped all of that if we only followed him. No demons, No Calpurnia eating mice, No helpax wandering away (hopefullY)
 <Class> (how was the Crow called again as Class try if he can find him)
 <Silas_> (no chewed up shoes no biting legs... all bonuses ^^)
 <CJ> Chretien "all the known world! I have travelled from Falster to East Anglia, from East Anglia to Stonehenge, and all the way to York!"
 <Class> (No Frozen Bandit ^^)
 <Calpurnia> Talking to Elise "Where did you get the cats?"
 <CJ> I have seen the Meditternaean, bathed in the lake sof the alps, and seduced the nymphs of far off Greece
 * Silas_ smiles
 <CJ> I have talked with the Dog Headed men of Ethiopia, and ...
 <CJ> "oh they aren't mind. They are Elise's. She is a witch.|"
 <Calpurnia> (... I said I was talking to elise)
 <Silas_> (shes passed out from the wine :p )
 <Silas_> (kidding hehe)
 <Calpurnia> ahh
 <Calpurnia> ....................................................... (not amused)
 <CJ> Sorry Calpurnia. Elise says "oh they chose me." She puts a hat on the ginger one on your lap
 <Baruch> [quietly to whoever is nearby] "We should head back to the covenant in the morning. It seems we have lost Corvus, and I am not so sure trusting him was such a good idea in the first place."
 <CJ> http://jerome23.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/jeromes-cat.jpg
 <Silas_> (should have typed j/k, wouldve been faster :p )
 <CJ> looks like that now Calpurnia
 <Calpurnia> SO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * Class is looking for Corvus
 <CJ> He kicks it off indignantly and glares at Elise, then at Chretien
 <Class> (nearly 6 h to do so ^^)
 <Silas_> (haha bewitchingly cute :) )
 <Gustbran> "Magi. Would you mind if I asked you what you plan to do with this archmage who turned Edith into a mouse?
 <CJ> (lol, great point Gustbran!)
 <Gustbran> "I feel it is tied to this duty that the wolves spoke of."
 <Silas_> "I don't know Gustbran, I would like to see him turned in to the Order of Hermes, but... we need to know more
 <Calpurnia> "Well Helpax wants to kill him, Silas no idea, though I should add we are heading to that guy's allies"
 <Silas_> and Edith needs to get better first"
 <CJ> Edith suddenly stirs
 <CJ> Ramon has carried her in from the yard
 <Silas_> (Gust and I did a little while back ^^)
 <Class> (no it wasnt me it was Gustbran with Silas)
 <Baruch> "Yes. Getting to him should be something of a priority, but I doubt we can act before the next Tribunal, in any case."
 * Silas_ moves to Edith to check if she is awake
 <Calpurnia> (Think about how awkward this is we have one person who was and it now acting like a mouse. And we have at least 1 person who eats mice)
 <CJ> CAlkpurnia, Elise hands you a bottle. It contains a foul brownish yellow foaming fluid, or horrible sweet sickly smell, like a rotting rose
 * Calpurnia takes it, "What is it?"
 <CJ> "Hang on to that my dear" she says "went a bit wrong"
 <Silas_> (at least she is good for a large meal...)
 <CJ> "it makes 'em croak" she sniggers.
 * Calpurnia holds it a distance away
 <CJ> The black cat hisses at the bottle
 * Calpurnia and away from the cat
 <CJ> "my little gift" says the werid young woman
 <CJ> She is clearly drunk
 <CJ> The cas goes off to investigate Class.
 <Calpurnia> I'm going to try and cast nature of vis
 * Class never enterd the house
 <Calpurnia> !roll 1d10+6
 <MM_BOT> Calpurnia:  9 :3+6
 <CJ> Nope, assume you ar eon the roof class
 <Calpurnia> that is against a 5 so 4 remaining
 * Class left the group as soon it was clear they stay there and search for Corvus
 <CJ> Not vis. Might contain it though, probably does, but in distilled form,. 'Tis a magic potion
 <CJ> Class, you search for a few hours, but no sign of him anywhere at all
 <Baruch> (I'll have to go right about now)
 <CJ> Same here.
 <Silas_> (Potion of drunken haze +3)
 <CJ> OK, discus son forum what to do next,
 <CJ> Tahnks to everyone for coming
 <Gustbran> (k)
 * Class make sure that he is back bevore dawn
 <Silas_> (mhm)
 <Calpurnia> alright see you guys next time.
 <Class> Thanks for todays game
 <CJ> Chretien the Roamer appears in Poject sof Hermes by the way, by Neil taylor, if anyone has that book
 <Silas_> Thanks for the run, hope you get better CJ :)
 <CJ> See you all
 <Calpurnia> Oh yeah whats the name of the session
 <CJ> bt disoprganised but I'm sick
 <CJ> Er, we need a name
 <CJ> any ideas?
 <Calpurnia> Calpurnia rolls another 10
 <Silas_> Devils Chimney?
 <Silas_> haha aye
 <Silas_> that could work Calpurnia
 <CJ> The DEvil's Chimney works well
 <Class> Yes that sound good
 <CJ> calpurnia, tell me have you been cursed by someone?
 <Calpurnia> Devil's chimney then
 <Class> Next week Sunday if you bether by then?
 <Baruch> Thanks CJ!
 <CJ> I have nbever seen anyone botch like that
 <Calpurnia> Not that I know of?
 <Gustbran> "Another 10 at devil's chimney?"
 <Silas_> haha no kidding
 <CJ> BTW anyone work out why Makara was attracted too this house?
 <CJ> (out of game reason, apart from to hkeep him busy all session as not here)
 <Class> (Today I haved my share on botch also)
 <Silas_> Because the owner was a drunk witch? - hey that is a party if ever I saw it
 <Class> (but lucky no real one)
 <CJ> The axis magica thing is a hint - a real Criamon mystery this
 <Calpurnia> (that magic thing that was mention axis magica?
 =-= Gustbran is now known as Freespace
 <CJ> yes, axis magica
 <Baruch> Not familiar with that
 <CJ> (the reason si simple enough if you remeber what he said on leaving)
 <Calpurnia> Hmm I'm guesing it's in the mysterious cults book?
 <Freespace> The place where he should be? Sounds creepy.
 <Baruch> Probably some ley line stuff - there's always ley lines in all magic systems, right?
 <Silas_> something about being fated or so...
 <Class> The Criamon part is something I didn't read so far
 <Silas_> meh, I forgot
 <Calpurnia> I should be there, I'm already there.
 <CJ> (But out of game thought you might have worked it out... )
 <Calpurnia> (As I have no idea what it is yeah)
 <CJ> Don't worry about esoteric mysteries. Anyone know where i live? ;)
 <Calpurnia> somewhere in england
 <Silas_> save for in England? :p
 <Freespace> I know you have a cat. :)
 <CJ> in a cottage off the high street in Cheltenham, several hours pegasus flight north fo Stonehenge, near the Devil's Chimney
 <Silas_> an assassin can, possibly
 <Baruch> :D
 <Silas_> cat*
 <Calpurnia> ... heheheheheh
 <Silas_> ah neat :)
 <Calpurnia> wow just wow
 <CJ> Three actually. And a foul witch I share with
 <Class> ^^ Ahh thats why you showed so much photos
 <Baruch> Well yes, now that you mention it it's kind of obvious :d
 <Freespace> I figured you were close by.
 <Baruch> haha
 <Freespace> Those pics were obviously posted by you, so...
 <CJ> yes. :) You happened to be in my part of the world. If you had flown NE and ignored Corvus you would have been near High Wycombe, so I dug out my folklore of Buckinghamshire book and prepared that, but you cam ehere instead
 <Calpurnia> (Jokingly) next time less tour of your house and more tour of our deaths
 <Silas_> Well you have some very very cute cats :)
 <CJ> So hence the fact I new the places so well, and could improvise
 <Baruch> Gotta go. Bye!
 <Freespace> I'm very proud that Gustbran has survived yet another session.
 <CJ> Helpax was nearly abducted by bandits in a place called "Kidnappers Lane" Gustbran and Baruch stopped that
 <Freespace> Bye!
 <Calpurnia> awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww that would have been amusing to learn what happens to him
 <Class> btw CJ I was in Exmoth a vew years back to learn english
 <Silas_> yeah, should likely head off, but it was much fun as always
 <CJ> and i know the local folklore here. the devils chimney si fun
 <Freespace> Lucky I spotted him then!
 <CJ> Ok chaps, I must run. See you all soon hopefully
 <Silas_> worrying CJ..
 <Calpurnia> alrght
 <Class> cu hopfull you find time to look at your mails
 <Calpurnia> going to send my log to nyaa for the hell of it
 <CJ> Will do.
 <CJ> Well not fun in a diabolic way Silas!
 <Silas_> having areas such as Devils Chimney and Kidnappers Lane in the vicinity isn't it?
 <Class> cu and thanks CJ
 <CJ> Ah, but where i live is far safer. :)
