Log Fourteen: Boat Rescue Gaiden

 <Makara> makara studying so he can't do adventure
 <Makara> both take a season
<Ramon> Not really you just can take one exp but you still can have a interruption from your Study as long the total is less then 10 days
<Makara> well then, I will play Makara

[Baruch is the GM this session]

 <Ramon> HI GM :)
 <Ramon> Did you get my mail?
 <Baruch> Yea, haven't had the time to read it yet, checking now
 <Silas_> hehe, GM,... no pressure or anything :)
 <Ramon> Its just a update for Ramon
 <Ramon> shouldn’t have any real effect on today’s adventure
 <Freespace> So, is this taking place before or after last week's adventure?
 <Ramon> before I suppose as we have to try as soon as possible
 <Ramon> So it might even Spring
 <Makara> before
 <Ramon> err I mean winter
 <Silas_> the timing is pretty good though, Baruch and Amaranth are both doing the arcane connection thing so couldn't save the boat... makes sense :)
 <Gustbran> :)
 <Makara> so late spring
 <Ramon> Sedala is a good flyer but as soon we have to travel long distances it might be a real pain to get back
 <Silas_> meh, either way :p
 <Baruch> Yeah, it'll be before
 <Baruch> the city is currently too far away
 <Baruch> it would take ridiculously long to get there, and it would be irrational not to have sent you when the city flew right next to the place
 <Silas_> mhm
 <Baruch> so yeah, this'll be before any of the seasonal activities you had
 <Silas_> sounds reasonable hehe
 <Gustbran> The title for the logs should be "The air boat gaiden"
 <Baruch> So your chars have the adventure exp but not the downtime exp; try to keep that in mind when rolling
 <Baruch> it's a little burdensome, but makes more sense
 <Ramon> I didn't add downtime exp to any of my chars so fare so I'm fine
 <Gustbran> it makes virtually no difference for me.
 <Silas_> (makes no actual difference for me either, so no worries :) )
 <Baruch> If you have any special skills like second sense or magic sensitivity or such, could you msg them to me
 <Ramon> Btw will Adventure exp add up to Study exp or excluding each other?
 <Baruch> Ramon: it will add up as long as you get study exp
 <Gustbran> Will I die today, causing a temporal paradox, magic dice?
<Silas_> (botch botch botch *chants* )
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10
 <Retrieval_Bot> Gustbran: 6
 <Silas_> (awww)
 <Silas_> (It'd be dull either way, Gust adds a certain something to our encounters)
 <Silas_> (like, a sharp edge, or a pointy spear...)
 <Baruch> Ok, are we missing someone who should be coming?
 <Baruch> Who's Aiden?
 <Gustbran> (or a looming aura of death)
 <Silas_> Calpurnia?
 <Gustbran> aiden is my faerie mage.
 <Ramon> (Aiden is Freespace's Mage )
 <Baruch> Ah, great
 <Makara> fairy of boat retrieval
 <Silas_> (hmm can't find Naga saying if he was coming or not..)
 <Ramon> (Mikka:ght, looks like I can't make it at all)
 <Ramon> (From the Forum)
 <Ramon> (Err Alright, looks like I can't make it at all)
 <Baruch> Yeha, I think we'll start
 <Makara> manageable amount of people as you liked
 <Baruch> It's late winter season; getting warmer already, but not quite spring
 <Baruch> on the ground, that is
 <Baruch> You all get a summons from Antonius
 <Silas_> (we are gonna die!!)
 * Ramon enter in Humble form infront of the Head Mage
 <Baruch> You arrive at his office, and find him waiting there with Helena, Makara's parens
 <Ramon> "You called for me Sir?"
 <Baruch> "Yes. I have chosen you all to retrieve the boat Baruch lost when he was down there last."
 <Baruch> "Helena here has located the boat. It is apparently where you left it, so this should not be too difficult."
 <Baruch> Makara, could you described Helena?
 <Silas_> [nods] "As you would have it"
 <Makara> (I dunno her descrition, CJ make her)
 <Baruch> (Ok.)
 <Ramon> "Good so I should provide the Transportation if I understand it right? Any special difficult to expect?"
 <Baruch> Helena shows you a map of England, and shows where her spell indicated the boat should be.
 <Baruch> "Yes. We do not know how the local magi will take to you being there, with all the trouble I hear you caused the last time."
 <Baruch> "Deal with them as you see fit, but try not to cause us any trouble, alright?"
 * Silas_ shifts uncomfortable
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10+3 (Area Lore Europa focus Covenant locations)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Ramon, (Area Lore Europa focus Covenant locations):  8 :5+3
 <Ramon> (Doubt that’s enough to have heard about Libellas)
 <Baruch> You don't know Libellas, no.
 <Baruch> So as far as you know, shouldn't be any covenants right next to that location.
 <Ramon> "DO we have an Arcan Conection to this boat I can lend?"
 <Baruch> "Last time someone made the mistake of not showing Baruch how to operate the boat. Better not make that mistake again."
 <Gustbran> (lol)
 <Silas_> (hehe ^^)
 <Baruch> He shows you how to activate the boat; it's a simple petting movement on the ship's rudder
<Makara> (and Griocious just have to be all Moses about it when he flies it...)
 * Silas_ needlessly copies the motion for good measure
<Baruch> "About the arcane connection. I'm not letting you have it. If you lose it, like you might, we will never find the boat. And it's right where you left it. You won't need it anyway."
 <Baruch> "Dismissed."
 <Silas_> (no kidding)
 * Ramon bow and leave the room
 <Silas_> [bows and leaves]
 <Silas_> (what good is being a wizard if you can't show off? ^^)
 <Ramon> "I have to get Sedala and my equipment meet in front of the tempel in a hour?"
 <Baruch> Anything you want to do?
 * Silas_ refreshes Parma magic
 <Makara> (let's assume we auto refresh parma from now)
 <Silas_> "Alright, Ramon"
 <Silas_> (heh sure, better safe than sorry in any case)
 <Makara> "I will be there. Never gonna let you down, never gonna let you cry, never gonna abandon you~~"
 * Silas_ gathers a few apples and a small money pouch
 <Baruch> Ok, you meet up with Ramon and take off on a spectacularly huge pegasus, as usual.
 <Ramon> "Makara you was the one who could conceal us in a cloud?"
 <Makara> "yes"
 * Ramon also has get proviant for 2 days with him
 <Gustbran> (assuming that they told gustbran as he probably wasn't summoned)
 <Baruch> The city is currently flying north-east quite near to where you left the boat, maybe half a day's journey
 <Ramon> "Would you be so nice?"
 <Makara> (no, you can't stab the boat)
 <Silas_> (yeah, we are not letting you get off the hook that easily :p )
 <Baruch> (No, Gustbran was summoned as well. They need a shield grog, and you know the neighborhood)
 <Gustbran> (aww)
 <Ramon> (Ingame time?)
 <Gustbran> (YAY!)
 <Makara> "Sure, what flavor cloud would you like?"
 <Baruch> (Ingame, yes)
 <Ramon> (Just wanted to know about Dawn/dusk)
 <Silas_> (Gust made double sure to take a bath that morning :p )
 <Baruch> (Yeah, it's dawn now)
 <Gustbran> (yup)
 <Ramon> (Then we have to lift of after dawn ^^)
 <Ramon> (As Size Increase for Sedala is Sun duration)
 <Baruch> Antonius summoned you shortly after sunrise. How long before you take off?
 <Silas_> (hehe I hope we can manage to get out from the city without difficulty :) )
 <Ramon> (a bit over 1h later)
 <Silas_> (~ an hour then, to gather our belongings)
 <Makara> (apply leg to edge of covenant)
 <Makara> (fall off)
 <Baruch> Ok
 <Baruch> You take off, first rising up above the city, then gliding off and down
 <Baruch> Want to roll for the cloud, Makara?
 * Ramon keep the current height fro some time as it is harder to sport an more natural from the downside to see a cloud at this height)
 <Makara> More importantly, what flavor of cloud would Ramon want?
 <Baruch> :D
 <Silas_> (strawberry of cause)
 <Ramon> "A Cloud that suite the current weather?"
 <Makara> "stratocumulus it is."
 <Ramon> (Are you casting it on sedala or something else? Its important)
 <Makara> !roll 1d10+18 (with gesture and wave and +4 aura)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Makara, (with gesture and wave and +4 aura) :  27 :9+18
 <Makara> (sedala)
 <Ramon> (Then -10 from her Might)
 <Makara> (she can't drop her resist?)
 <Silas_> (might negates even beneficial spells?)
 <Ramon> (I dont think a Magical Creature can do so)
 <Baruch> I don't think so, either
 <Makara> (we might have a canon problem)
 <Baruch> Are you sponting that?
 <Baruch> would it work with the decrease?
 <Makara> (is spell, but lv 20)
 <Silas_> (naa, you figured it out, and cast it on her saddle or something)
 <Makara> (of course, saddle)
 <Silas_> (the saddle seems like a large enough cloud, covering Sedala as well, easy peacy :) )
 <Silas_> (may make it a hell to get comfortable, but, what can you do? :) )
 <Ramon> (hmm any Animal mage because if we need the Sadle the leather have to be adjusted ^^)
 <Makara> ((I have animal handling)
 <Silas_> (how so?)
 <Baruch> Yeah, maybe we don't get caught up in that; it's cast on the saddle, and although the cloud can be seen to wriggle strangely up close, it's good enough
 <Baruch> Sedala's white, right?
 <Baruch> ;)
 <Ramon> (Emm she is much larger then she is normal do you really think the sadle still work?)
 <Ramon> (Yes Sedala is Snow white)
 <Baruch> (Didn't you have some way to enlarge that?)
 <Ramon> (NO Class did this so fare)
 <Silas_> (the saddle/reigns would have to be larger too right?)
 <Silas_> (ah)
 <Baruch> Ok. In that case you can't pull the effect off
 <Baruch> Before, you cast it on the saddle, but now without that, you can't do it
 <Baruch> want to change plan somehow?
 <Makara> (what else is sedela wearing?)
 <Ramon> (She have the small Sadle bound around her with a rope but that’s it)
 <Ramon> (So its not really comfortable)
 <Makara> (not a long ride anyway)
 <Makara> (or it could be one of us instead)
 <Baruch> (The spell keeps the object roughly the same size)
 <Makara> (oh right)
 <Baruch> (With the enlarge saddle, it's at least remotely conceivable, given that it's been done before)
 <Baruch> (but it won't work like that)
 <Silas_> (how difficult would it be to increase the size of the saddle? creo/muto/animal?)
 <Ramon> (Ramon wont get out to look for a mage to enlarge the sadle)
 <Ramon> (Muto Animal )
 <Ramon> (lvl 2 + 1 Touch +2 Sun duration)
 <Silas_> (and the difficulty would be ~roughly?)
 <Baruch> That's just level 5, right?
 <Ramon> (So 5 something usualy is no problem spontan)
 * Silas_ glares at the saddle
 <Baruch> Someone want to roll?
 <Silas_> "Fine, I'll give it a try"
 <Makara> (4 aura so, no problem)
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10+16 (waving shouting and aura)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Silas_, (waving shouting and aura):  18 :2+16
 <Baruch> Ok, it is enlarged, and Makara's spell creates the cloud
 <Baruch> Ready to go?
 <Ramon> (Yes I think so ^^)
 * Silas_ gets on in a hurry while he knows where the saddle is
 <Baruch> Ok, you take off, fly high, looking like a cloud
 <Silas_> (haha aye, I just hope I remembered to ward my lab...)
 <Baruch> It's an uneventful journey. At about noon, so quite close to your destination, roll perception+awareness
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10+3 (Ramon)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Ramon, (Ramon):  10 :7+3
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10 (but poor eyesight)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Silas_, (but poor eyesight): 5
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10 (+3 if Ways of the Sky help Sedala)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Ramon, (+3 if Ways of the Sky help Sedala): 9
 <Baruch> Ramon and Sedala spot, right ahead and way above you, a blue drake gliding, half hidden in the actual clouds
 <Baruch> it's quite far away, and makes no indication of having spotted you
 <Baruch> It's smaller than the ones some of you have seen so far
 <Silas_> (phew ^^)
 <Baruch> But it's also between you and your target, although above you
 <Makara> (tame it~)
 <Baruch> It's heading roughly in the same direction, but is going slower than you are
 <Ramon> "There is a Drake obove us"
 <Ramon> "a blue one"
 * Ramon point toward it
 * Silas_ squints his eyes but sees nothing
 <Silas_> "Can we fly around it? - slowly"
 <Silas_> (dodging clouds are suspicious, after all)
 <Ramon> "Hmm not sure, usual when Sedala and I'm travling in normal size this kind of creatures left us alone"
 <Makara> (drake is dumb)
 <Silas_> "Yes... but with the luck we have been having..."
 * Silas_ shrugs
 <Makara> (are we still in the aura?)
 <Silas_> "I trust you Ramon, and your eyes are better than mine to be sure)
 <Baruch> (No, you have been travelling for many hours)
 * Ramon let sedala change the angle slightly so we get slowly away from the drake but still keep the direction in the biger sense
 <Baruch> Ok, you make a slight detour, getting farther from the drake
 <Baruch> You can still see it barely, but it's almost covered in the clouds now
 * Ramon put up his redcap
 <Ramon> (No Cloud any more)
 <Baruch> Yeah, you can see it clearly :)
 <Baruch> Doesn't seem to have noticed you
 <Baruch> Do you want to get ahead of it?
 <Ramon> (Yes, sadly blink is not in this size)
 <Baruch> Ok, you move ahead of the drake, keeping the distance otherwise
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10
 <Retrieval_Bot> Baruch: 9
 <Ramon> (And sedala probably can easy outfly him in a race)
 <Silas_> (a shame, it could have been fun to try :p )
 <Baruch> Doesn't seem to notice you
 <Gustbran> (let's not tempt fate, please)
 <Makara> (not like it can breath fire or something)
 <Silas_> (u worried grog? :p )
 <Baruch> you keep going at the usual pace, and leave the drake farther and farther behind
 <Baruch> You are flying over green-brown heathlands, with a settlement or a small forest dotting the scenery here and there
 <Silas_> (cue: Greensleeves playing in the background)
 <Baruch> Up left you see a larger city, up ahead are several smaller settlements
 <Baruch> The weather is nice, half-clouded. It's fairly warm, for a late winter day
 <Baruch> The ones that were here before are seeing landmarks they know; particularly the river they sailed before
 <Baruch> And the large city you recognize for the same one you passed by
 <Gustbran> (the one where you reversed the flow?)
 <Baruch> (Yeah, something like that)
 <Silas_> (hm that is only myself and Makara, isn't it?)
 <Baruch> Yes, it's all unknown for the others
 <Ramon> (Yes its only Silas and Makara)
 <Baruch> Silas and Makara, you spot the little forest where you left the boat
 <Ramon> (ROmon might be heared about the big city but thats about it)
 <Silas_> (and I'm halfway blind at this distance :p )
 <Baruch> the river, more like a stream now, snakes out of it
 <Makara> (I thought we left it in a swarm)
 <Ramon> (It was near a waterfall)
 <Baruch> No, you left it in a forest near a waterfall
 <Baruch> You couldn't get past the waterfall
 <Makara> (oh right, we kept riding it)
 <Ramon> (Yes and Class as cloud used the Waterfall to get down there without looking to suspicious)
 <Baruch> You are approaching the forest from the west
 <Baruch> on the other side of the forest there is Libellus
 <Baruch> on one side of it, there is the village where you asked for help the last time
 <Silas_> "We should be getting closer, I think. Libellus can't be far off"
 <Baruch> One side is just empty heathlands
 <Ramon> "Libellus whats this?"
 <Makara> "Is a place."
 <Baruch> Where do you want to go?
 <Ramon> "Never heard about it bevore but thats not my region anyway"
 <Silas_> "ah, right, it is where Aedith came from, but it fell under dragon attack"
 <Ramon> "Hovering over the waterfall first to check if something out there that dont look good"
 <Ramon> (err should be ())
 <Silas_> "maybe we should see if they made it through the attack alright. I am sure Aedith would like to know..."
 <Ramon> "Let us laand near the waterfall first as this is the only place we can get down without looking to strange as cloud"
 <Makara> (meanwhile aedith happily stitching  back at the covenant)
 <Baruch> Ok, you land in the forest near the waterfall
 <Silas_> "We can do that. The boat should be close by as well, we couldn't take it with us past the falls"
 <Baruch> There's a small beachlet near the waterfall where Sedala barely fits
 <Baruch> You land on there
 <Baruch> No boat in sight, hough
 <Ramon> <Sedala you can drink here and eat but dont move to much around unless you must>
 * Silas_ dismounts and looks around a little
 <Ramon> (I know she dont need to but hey ^^)
 <Baruch> (Have to take a 5min break now)
 <Baruch> (brb)
 <Ramon> (No cant dismout)
 <Ramon> (Sadle = cloud)
 <Silas_> (ok)
 <Gustbran> (ok)
 <Makara> (one can only fall off)
 <Silas_> hehe, what skill should I use to see if my landing is gracefull? :p)
 <Silas_> (brb ^^)
 <Ramon> (Athletics?)
 <Gustbran> (hey! Cal!)
 <Calpurnia> (yawn, just woke up)
 <Makara> (AHHH GUSTBRAN! WHY YOU KILLED THE BOAT WHY!?)
 <Gustbran> (..?)
 <Silas_> (hehe
 <Silas_> (Morning =) )
 <Gustbran> (I was afraid I nearly overslept, myself)
 <Silas_> (are 'both of you' attending our little trip ? )
 <Calpurnia> (probably not)
 <Calpurnia> (Cal is reading currently and Cor is doing what a Cor does)
 <Silas_> We just landed with Sedala near the waterfalls where we left the boat, but no boat in sight
 <Makara> (you can take a detour from study)
 <Ramon> (Beside its still winter saison!)
 <Silas_> (This is at the ending of winter btw :) )
 <Calpurnia> (THAT IS CONSIDERED A DISTRACTIOIN, HISS~~~ HERESY!!)
 <Makara> (if it's less than 10 day according to someone)
 <Ramon> (Yes but did you get Study exp for winter?)
 <Gustbran> (I think the break is because my magus character is incompatible with the planned introduction... :( )
 <Calpurnia> (I would like study xp for winter so yeah)
 <Baruch> Nah, had to take my daughter to bed
 <Silas_> (it was handy though, I needed a bio break :p )
 <Makara> (nah, it's easy to get contacted by fairy)
 <Makara> (they just show up)
<Silas_> (half of everyone in this place seem to have some sort of fay connection either way :p )
 <Calpurnia> (I'll just lurk around, and watch all of you die)
 <Silas_> (-.-)
 <Calpurnia> (:D)
 <Baruch> You would play Calpurnia? That's fine, we'll decree you were there the whole time
 <Silas_> (*shakes an old-man's fist in your general direction*)
 <Ramon> (We talk about the past winter short after our Gauntlet)
 <Baruch> Calpurnia has been silent this morning, pondering some great mystery no doubt
 <Ramon> (You wont get any Lab activities then)
 <Calpurnia> (nononono I said I was just going to watch)
 <Calpurnia> :p
 <Ramon> (As you wish)
 <Makara> (Do you all want the boat get burned down so badly?)
 <Calpurnia> (Me character will be up in covenant reading)
 <Baruch> Ok
 <Silas_> (calpurnia was so absorbed in the lore that she completely forgot Antonius' summons ^^)
 <Calpurnia> (continue your story)
 <Baruch> Yeah, so, no boat in sight. What are you going to do?
 <Ramon> "Where should the boat be?"
 <Calpurnia> (screw the old man)
 <Silas_> "Around here, surely. Maybe one of the locals took it?"
 <Baruch> There's the beachlet where you are under the waterfall, where Class met the wolf, although none of you know about that, and a path leading down to the village,
 <Baruch> At the other side of the river there's a smaller bank, and then the forest begins
 <Ramon> (Grr just got my line wanted to ask if they have hiden it behind the waterfall or something)
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10+3 (per+awareness for any sign the boat was dragged anywhere)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Gustbran, (per+awareness for any sign the boat was dragged anywhere):  10 :7+3
 <Silas_> (hehe sorry ^^)
 <Baruch> You know it's got to be near here, but you also know the spell Helena used isn't too precise, so it might be anywhere in the forest
 <Ramon> "Could it be behind the Waterfall its the location I would look first when it is not in clear sioght and not just invisible"
 <Baruch> Ok, gus starts looking around, and soon spots the signs of the boat being dragged off at the other side of the stream
 <Gustbran> "look at this!"
 <Ramon> "What have you found?"
 * Silas_ moves to Gust
 <Gustbran> It looks like a trail left by a boat being dragged!"
 <Baruch> You can all see it; there's a fairly big hole in the undergrowth where the boat went.
 <Ramon> "Hmm then lets follow this trail and lets hope it lead to the boat we look for"
 <Silas_> "At least it should be easy to follow..."
 <Baruch> You're on the wrong side of the stream, but there was a bridge you saw a small distance downstream
 <Baruch> Ok, you trot around and follow the trail, I presume.
 * Ramon grab his spear and shield and put the spear on his back
 <Silas_> (hehe, yeah, robes are heavy when wet..)
 <Baruch> It's easy to follow for the most part, but at one point the trail disappears, presumably because they had to carry the boat over a small cliff
 <Baruch> roll per + hunt
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10 (untrained)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Ramon, (untrained): 4
 <Ramon> (Wrong char for such things ^^)
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10 (got +2 in hunt, but only for small game..)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Silas_, (got +2 in hunt, but only for small game..): 1
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10
 <Retrieval_Bot> Silas_: 10
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10-1 (per is -1 and untrained)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Gustbran, (per is -1 and untrained):  6 :7-1
 <Ramon> (Silas found it with his 20)
 <Gustbran> (lucky)
 <Silas_> (I should hope, otherwise we are screwed)
 <Makara> (and a family of elephant)
 <Makara> (and dinosaur bone)
 <Silas_> (and the apple core I left when I was here last...)
 <Makara> (and drake)
 <Silas_> (... well, darn)
 <Ramon> (beside some Terram Vis guarded by a elder Drake ;) )
 <Baruch> Yeah, Silas spots the tracks easily
 <Silas_> (yay, and double darn)
 <Silas_> "Come here, I found the trail!"
 <Baruch> You come to the edge of a small clearing in the fors
 <Baruch> forest
 <Baruch> It's quite beautiful: two large oaks overshadowing a little hut, a little hill nearby, you can almost hear the birds twittering
 <Baruch> The tracks seem to lead you there
 <Baruch> But no boat in sight
 <Ramon> (Still no soght of the boat?)
 <Ramon> ( -.- )
 <Ramon> "The track lead here Silas?"
 <Makara> "I believe we should all start jogging if we wish to catches up with the escaping boat"
 <Baruch> (:D)
 <Silas_> "yes.. maybe they know about it at the hut?"
 <Baruch> You can't see the tracks anymore in the grass of the clearing
 <Makara> (should had go back to sedela and follow the trail on flight...)
 * Silas_ moves towards the hut
 * Makara Ask the grass when has the boat gone.
 <Baruch> The grass doesn't seem to know what a boat is
 <Baruch> Ok, Silas walks toward the hut
 <Baruch> there's a small vegetable garden, quite nice
 * Ramon follow Silas
 <Baruch> The roof's made of hay
 <Baruch> The door's shut
 * Gustbran follows as well
 <Silas_> (a lovely sight ^^)
 <Ramon> (How extreme is the gift of Silas?)
 <Silas_> (kind gift)
 <Makara> "The big thing that gets dragged over you"
 <Baruch> "The big thing was lifted off"
 <Silas_> (grass: "the white thing?!")
 <Ramon> (Gentle gift ok then Ramon let handle Silas the thing)
 * Silas_ knocks on the door
 <Makara> "To what direction?"
 <Baruch> You knock, wait a while, but no one answers
 <Baruch> No one home?
 <Silas_> "[in english, albeit poor] Anyone home?"
 <Baruch> Makara: The grass doesn't seem to know; it just knows the weight went away
 <Baruch> Still no answer
 * Silas_ tries opening the door
 <Silas_> (what kind of adventure would this be if we didn't break into someone’s home?)
 <Gustbran> [in latin] "allow me" [in english] "Is there anyone home?"
 <Baruch> The door seems to be barred shut
 <Baruch> No answer still
 <Baruch> You can see the piece of wood that is holding the door shut from the cracks in the door
 <Baruch> It's too dark inside to see much anything else, though
 <Silas_> "It looks barred"
 <Silas_> "Gust, try looking around the back, maybe they dragged it back there"
 <Gustbran> "I understand"
 <Silas_> (is there any windows on this side of the house?)
 <Ramon> !roll 1d10+3 (How was the weather developing when we arrived?)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Ramon, (How was the weather developing when we arrived?):  8 :5+3
 * Gustbran goes round back
 <Baruch> Gus walks around the back, near the hill. roll perception + awareness
 <Baruch> Only gus
 <Ramon> (Survival roll)
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10+3
 <Retrieval_Bot> Gustbran:  10 :7+3
 <Baruch> Ramon: The weather seemed to be staying as it was, a little cloudy but unusually warm for the season
 <Baruch> Gus, you could swear you heard a "gluck", like a chicken, from somewhere
 <Baruch> There isn't anything particular behind the house, a pile of trash, an axe and firewood
 <Gustbran> "That's odd.." [to himself]
 * Ramon keep near Silas but get in a position where he eventual see Gustbran
 <Baruch> Silas: There are wooden shutters, yes, but they are shut
 <Makara> "You guys think the boat would be kept in this hut?"
 <Makara> "I think so too."
 <Baruch> Gustbran: You also don't see any more traces out back
 <Ramon> "Wont this Hu to small for it?"
 <Makara> "Nonsense."
 <Baruch> But you're not sure you would be able to spot them anyway, for the grass
 * Gustbran returns to the others.
 <Baruch> The hut is big enough to hold the boat
 <Makara> "We must explore every inch and cover for the boat
 <Gustbran> "I didn't see anything special but I think the place is in use."
 <Silas_> (can the shutters be opened from the outside?)
 <Ramon> "Maybe some mage should check for a hiden Ragio nearby?"
 <Baruch> They are barred, too
 <Gustbran> "There's likely someone taking care of livestock here so they wouldn't be gone for long."
 <Baruch> You didn't see any chicken, though - you just heard a single gluck!
 <Silas_> "They may be inside I suppose..."
 <Ramon> "Or if they just hidden the boat somewhere close in some kind of invisibility?"
 <Gustbran> (which is enough to make him suspect that someone is taking care of one)
 <Baruch> Ok, what's the plan
 <Silas_> "that is true too, Ramon, though to most it would seem like a normal boat"
 <Silas_> "I was sailing in it, and I thought it was just a normal boat..."
 <Makara> (so is this a multi room mega hut or something?)
 <Ramon> "Didn't I hear a talk about you encountered Fearies around here?"
 <Silas_> (hehe don't think so ^^)
 <Silas_> "We did..."

 <Ramon> (Wow 23 for Gustbran)
 <Gustbran> (whoo hoo!)
 <Baruch> Ok, Gustbran clearly hears a "Guckle!" coming from the direction of the hill. Silas doesn't know where it came from, but hears it as well
 <Makara> (guess I don't need to roll)
 <Ramon> (Ramon then as well)
 <Silas_> "odd.. did you hear that?"
 <Gustbran> "Did you all hear that"
 <Gustbran> (hehe)
 <Gustbran> "It came from the hill!"
 <Baruch> Oh, right, Ramon hears it as well
 <Silas_> (just makara didn't hear, but that is what you get for talking to grass I suppose)
 <Ramon> "Yes but where exactly did it come from? I dont see any chicken around"
 <Makara> (You have no idea)
 <Silas_> [shrugs] "We can take a look on the hill, if nothing else we might get a better view of the place"
 <Ramon> "Hmm OK then have a look there"
 * Gustbran goes toward the hill.
 <Silas_> "You take the lead Gust, your ears seems more turned to this than mine"
 * Silas_ follows
 <Baruch> You start walking in the direction of the hill
 <Baruch> When you are about 5 meters from it
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10

 <Makara> (stab it)
 <Baruch> No wait
 <Baruch> Gustbran goes first
 <Silas_> (youre too fast for your own good Gust :p )
 <Makara> (stab it)
 * Ramon ready his short spear with the pinty end toward the creature
 <Gustbran> (STABING TIME!)
 <Silas_> (we all know that to be true)
 <Makara> (go for the ehhh heart?)
 * Gustbran charges with spear and shield
 <Ramon> (but hold of a attack for now)
 <Baruch> Ok, familiar pattern. Roll!
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10+9
 <Retrieval_Bot> Gustbran:  19 :10+9

 <Baruch> Roll again

 <Makara> (nope, just stab harder!)
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10
 <Retrieval_Bot> Baruch: 6
 <Baruch> The beast dodges your rather flimsy attack
 <Baruch> One of its heads lets out a loud CUCKLEDIDUDU
 <Baruch> Ramon then
 <Silas_> (aww, it clucked at you! Are you just gonna take that Gust?!)
 <Gustbran> (I gotta wait til next round)
 <Makara> (I believe it insulted your mother!)
 * Ramon just ready his weapon and wait for what is happening for now
 <Baruch> Ok, Ramon waits
 <Baruch> Then Makara
 * Makara cast the crystal dart
 <Baruch> Ok, roll
 <Makara> !roll 1d10+14 (gesture and wave)

 <Makara> !roll 1d10

 <Makara> or that 10?
 <Baruch> Yeah, no, I think that's just a 14
 <Makara> k, spell is 10
 <Makara> level
 <Silas_> (do you feel stressed? :) )
 <Baruch> So a crystal dart rises from the ground, speeds off at the beast, and sinks into it
 <Makara> (yes)
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10
 <Retrieval_Bot> Baruch: 1
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10
 <Retrieval_Bot> Baruch: 7
 <Makara> (have to beat the creature magic resistance)
 <Makara> 10+ damage, guerratee hit
 <Makara> +10 damage
 <Baruch> The dart sinks into the beast's belly, blood gushes, out, and the beast reels, but doesn't seem to go down
 <Makara> also 10 inch long
 <Makara> SPEAR
 <Baruch> The dart disappeared completely into its gut
 <Gustbran> (!)
 <Silas_> (eww...)
 <Baruch> Who's up? Silas?
 <Silas_> (think so)
 <Baruch> Yes,
 <Makara> (I think we should rename ourselves as the Covenant of Fellow Spear Master)
 * Ramon try to intercept with his short spear attack if it is attacking any of the mages or Ramon
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10+16 (waving no loud noises) intellego/animal to give some clue as to what it is
 <Retrieval_Bot> Silas_, (waving no loud noises) intellego/animal to give some clue as to what it is:  18 :2+16
 <Gustbran> (poor gustbran)
 <Silas_> (oh sweet....)
 <Baruch> Silas: You don't really get anything on it
 <Silas_> (it would be spont'ed so not sure I'd get much from that)
 <Baruch> Ramon stands ready to intercept
 <Baruch> Suddenly, the most magnificent rooster you have ever seen appears beside the monster
 <Baruch> It paces nobly forth, wagging its bits angrily at you
 <Silas_> (maybe I got a cluck too, mocking my parentage, comparing them with hamsters or even worse!)
 <Ramon> "Gulp!"
 <Baruch> Next to it, a smaller rooster stands guard
 <Baruch> The rooster glucks at you angrily!
 <Silas_> "ergh,..."
 <Baruch> The monster doesn't seem to be attacking you, it stands guard next to the preternaturally magnificient cock
 <Baruch> While the latter glucks away
 <Silas_> (oh, the rooster was just a regular sized one?)
 <Baruch> Yeah, this new one is a regular sized one
 <Gustbran> (haha)
 <Makara> (Can I understand what they are saying?)
 <Ramon> (Ohh thought it was a giant sized one)
 <Makara> (or they just screaming coockk)
 <Baruch> Makara: What was that ability you had again?
 <Gustbran> (leave it to gustbran to jump to conclusions. :))
 <Makara> (To understand animal speech and pure element speech (can command this one))
 <Baruch> Yeah, you can understand it
 <Silas_> (heh me too, was thinking maybe someone had been breeding giant chickens for some nefarious scheme, like making giant omelets)
 <Baruch> It's saying
 <Makara> (animal ken)
 <Silas_> (ruining the egg market, and slowly taking over the food industry, finally to rule the world by cutting rations)
 <Gustbran> (makes sense to me.)
 <Baruch> "Iam William II of Epworth, lord of these lands. Why do you disturb us? Are you attacking my flock? Why are you here? Go away, or you shall incur the wrath of Gorgamoth, here!"
 <Silas_> (me too, hell, if I could breed giant chickens, it is what I would do)
 <Baruch> Gorgamoth gurgles intimidatingly
 <Makara> (Guess I can't talk until next turn?)
 <Baruch> Nah, you can talk
 <Makara> "STOP EVERYONE, LET ME HANDLE THIS"
 * Gustbran holds his ground and glares at goramoth.
 <Makara> To Chicken: "Great lord William II of Epworth, we are simply searching for our lost ship and unintededly transpassed into your land. Please don't mind our accident intrusion."
 <Makara> To everyone else: " Cloc clock cloook clockclc l."
 <Silas_> "...." [mutters: now again?]
 <Baruch> "Ship, eh? More like a boat? I know where that is. You can't have it, though. I need it."
 <Ramon> (And I was right to hold of my attack till a mage took over diplomatic actions ;) )
 <Makara> "For it is a good place to safekeep your unhatched?"
 <Silas_> (naa, if we had killed sir cluck-a-lot we'd have a better bargaining position :p )
 <Ramon> (Hmm or we haved his borther and Sister at our heels)
 <Baruch> "Well, yes. It keeps them dry. And I like it, besides. Gives me a nice fuzzy feeling inside, you know. Like a magic-y feeling."
 <Makara> To Everyone else: "The lord William II of Epworth has taken our ship to be use as their henhouse."
 <Silas_> (hehe aye ^^ just arguing for the sake of it)
 <Ramon> "No way and you now have to bargain to them for us to get the boat back?"
 <Silas_> "Can't we... find him a new one? or something?"
 <Makara> "What can we offer?"
 <Baruch> "Hmm. Are you mages?"
 <Makara> To chicken: "Yes, we are."
 <Baruch> "I saw the trick you pulled there."
 <Baruch> "Would you, by any chance, know how to heal a wounded animal?"
 <Makara> "Yes, I do in fact know."
 <Silas_> "I don't know,.. I am not even sure what a hen house really looks like,.. if we are honest"
 <Baruch> "Hmm. What a dilemma."
 <Silas_> (cause.. you see, my friend, sir cluck-a-lot was wounded not a few seconds ago by these MORONS...)
 <Baruch> "You see, I have a certain young lady, Alvina, my beloved, who needs some help."
 <Ramon> (Makara you know even Animal Healing is usual Ritual magic and so usualy cost vis?)
 <Silas_> (holy friggin....!!!)
 <Makara> (I have Soothe pains of the beast    )
 <Makara> (and yes, ritual)
 <Baruch> "I am at pains, however, to give away the boat."
 <Silas_> (/me shoots Gust an icy stare)
 * Gustbran is too busy glaring at gorgomoth to notice
 <Makara> "Maybe we can offer other service along with the healing?"
 <Ramon> (It was Makara who wounded it not Gust even Gust acted first ^^)
 <Baruch> Roll bargaining, Makara
 <Baruch> communication
 <Baruch> +bargainin
 <Gustbran> (I love how Gustbran gets all the flak for this sort of thing. :))
 <Silas_> (so do I ^^)
 <Makara> I will cast Aura of ennobled Presense  on myself first
 <Baruch> ok
 <Baruch> roll
 <Makara> how much penalty for no voice?
 <Baruch> It's -2, right? Correct me, someone
 <Gustbran> (i dunno)
 <Baruch> no, -10
 <Baruch> and without gestures -5
 <Baruch> so -15 altogether
 <Gustbran> (good luck)
 <Gustbran> (I think you're gonna need it)
 * Makara turn to his group and pretend to translate/talk to them.
 <Makara> !roll 1d10+12 (with normal gesture and normal voice)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Makara, (with normal gesture and normal voice):  22 :10+12
 <Baruch> A-ha, clever
 <Makara> spell level is 10
 <Silas_> indeed
 <Baruch> Ok, you pull it off, get the bonus
 <Makara> !roll 1d10
 <Retrieval_Bot> Makara: 1
 <Makara> damn so much danger botch today
 <Silas_> (aye)
 * Makara turn back to chicken
 <Baruch> That's a 1, roll again
 <Baruch> nowait
 <Makara> that's reroll
 <Makara> for botch
 <Baruch> I'm confused today, right
 <Ramon> (Its reroll if botched ^^)
 <Baruch> Now for the bargaining
 <Makara> !roll 1d10+0 bargain
 <Retrieval_Bot> Makara, bargain:  9 :9+0
 <Makara> yeahhhhh
 <Baruch> Ok, you're quite eloquent about it
 <Baruch> "Something else, eh. Well, maybe there is something. You are magi, right? You come from a place of great magic?"
 <Silas_> (lol I have a feeling what he is going to ask)
 <Makara> "yes we do, in the sky in fact, very comfortable high place of great view and sceneary"
 <Makara> "Our aura keep the place warm all year long too!"
 <Ramon> (Ohh man I see what you try to do ^^)
 <Gustbran> (lol)
 <Makara> (Army of magic chicken)
 <Silas_> (yeeeahh.. Nyaa certainly had the same idea as I did)
 <Baruch> "Ah, sounds wonderful. Yes, yes! My request is as follows: You help my dear Alvina, and bring my flock with you to this place of magic, and let us live there happily ever after. And maybe let me visist the boat, sometime?"
 * Makara tell the plan to everyone
 <Baruch> "In return for this, I let you have the boat."
 <Silas_> "That sounds... reasonable, actually. I am letting you explain this to Antonius though, Makara!"
 <Ramon> "Its your Covenant decision so I wont vote on this"
 <Silas_> "This might be... insensitive, I don't know, but will they be trading eggs for food when they get to the city?"
 <Makara> "That's a tough one."
 <Makara> "What will we trade for them?"
 <Silas_> "food and lodgings for eggs?" [shrugs]
 <Ramon> "Why not keep this bargain for when we are back at the covenant?"
 <Ramon> "They didnt talk about food so fare if I understand you right"
 <Aiden> !roll 1d10+1
 <Retrieval_Bot> Aiden:  10 :9+1
 <Silas_> "it would be... unfair? for the chickens, and unfortunate for us if we had to return them here"
 <Makara> "No, but I doubt they need their unfertilized egg either."
 <Silas_> "Antonius might also just... throw them off, I don't think he would want to negotiate with them at all"
 <Makara> "Yes, best to negotiate it now before the anger antonius up there"
 <Makara> they*
 <Makara> "So... we exchange livestock feed for their egg as a deal?"
 <Silas_> (hehe this is absurd in a lot of ways really, but yeah)
 <Silas_> "It seems reasonable - eggs are always useful, after all"
 * Silas_ looks worried at the big monster chicken
 <Silas_> "What about the big guy? does he come too?"
 <Ramon> (yea but hey our main income at the covenant is Agriculture so yes that would be a fine addon)
 <Silas_> (indeed :) )
 <Makara> (what if they get to large in number and we have to deal with it later?)
 <Makara> (unless their lifespan is like 10 years...)
 <Silas_> (details :p )
 <Makara> To chicken: "we would like to extend our deal of relation to include providing food for your kind in exchange for only your unfertilized egg."
 <Silas_> (beside, what do you do with unwanted chickens... *cough*)
 <Makara> (you want a chicken riot?)
 <Gustbran> (lol)
 <Silas_> (no, I want chicken wings ^^ nam nam)
 <Makara> (oh well, we will just cast infertile to them once in a while)
 <Baruch> "Well, yes. That can be arranged. We had a similar arrangement here, you see."
 <Makara> "Oh? Do tell."
 <Baruch> "There was a nice woman living here before, to be replaced by this insufferable lout recently, and we had this arrangement with her, as well."
 <Ramon> (So that’s livingstock of Libellas we recruiting? ^^)
 <Baruch> "No matter. My dear Alvina awaits."
 <Silas_> (we are snatching up other people's magical chickens, that can't be wrong can it?)
 <Baruch> "Bring the healer with me."
 <Baruch> He walks towards the hill.
 <Makara> (anyone have vis?)
 <Ramon> (not me)
 <Makara> (anyway to cast it without vis?)
 <Silas_> (not on me, I am sure, not sure if we even have our own stock)
 <Ramon> (its something you mages have to take care about not the redcap)
 <Silas_> (either way, we can do int temp. and redo it with Vis at the conclave)
 <Ramon> (Only the faster recovery is without vis)
 <Makara> (sounds good, just close its hole until we bring him there for proper healing)
 <Baruch> At this moment, you hear a loud noise, like a churchbell ringing but way louder, coming from Libellus
 <Baruch> For those of you who know where it roughly is
 <Ramon> "Whats this loud Bell?"
 <Silas_> "... we are near Libellus, and I don't think they ring the hours. They may be in trouble"
 <Ramon> "If I rember right the blue Drake that we encountered could be here now"
 <Makara> "Maybe someone stole their chicken? Anyway, i need someone to close the wound for now so we can do a proper ritual back home."
<Baruch> "Are you coming?" William asks
 <Makara> (rego animal I guess?)
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10+4 (area lore for the covenant, -3 penalty if unfamiliar, to realize what the bell is)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Gustbran, (area lore for the covenant, -3 penalties if unfamiliar, to realize what the bell is):  7 :3+4
 <Silas_> "You do that Makara..."
 <Baruch> Gus: You don't really know what it is
 <Gustbran> (darn)
 <Makara> "Very well, Makara goes with the chicken
 <Ramon> "I think I should head back to sedala to look if everything is fine with her. You think you can handle this here without my help for now?"
 <Baruch> Ok. William walks through the side of the hill, and when you follow, you realize the hill is just an illusion cast over a small-ish chicken coop
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10 (area lore too, to find Libelles)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Silas_, (area lore too, to find Libelles): 9
 <Baruch> Your boat is upturned over the coop, and functions as a roof of sorts!
 <Baruch> Silas, you know its roughly west of here, where the sound came from
 <Makara> (The mental image of a group of chicken carrying a boat over their head)
 <Baruch> Makara, as you enter enter the coop, you see a flock of about ten chicken crouching and looking scared
 <Makara> (doctor makara)
 <Silas_> "There were a lot of... misunderstandings when we were last here"
 <Silas_> (I hadn't even considered that Makara! hehe)
 <Baruch> William walks to one of them, orders it to "Show him.", and the chicken turns to its side, showing a leg that is twisted to an unnatural position
 <Baruch> (Makara: haha :)
 <Makara> (all of them?)
 <Makara> (or just one)
 <Baruch> Just one
 <Silas_> (hehe maybe we should let Gust do his chirugiry? J/K)
 <Gustbran> (I don't think that applies to animals, good god lets hope not)
 <Makara> (How much ReAn to temporary fix that?)
 * Makara inspect the leg carefully
 <Ramon> (The problem is the broken Leg is probably considered a medium wound)
 <Ramon> (Healing is Creo Animal)
 <Makara> (have that too)
 <Makara> ( 5 +5 though...)
 <Baruch> Yeah, completely healing it would be base 20. The best you can hope to do is speed recovery, without vis that is.
 <Makara> (for temporary?)
 <Makara> (I just need it to be able to walk back to covenant for ritual)
 <Ramon> (Yes Recovery is temporary healing boost)
 <Makara> (how much for speed recovery?)
 <Ramon> (but you only can suppress pain thats a alternative but that helps nothing)
 <Makara> (yeah suppress pain)
 <Ramon> (Recovery is base 1-4 +1 Touch + Duration)
 <Baruch> I think pain relief is base 4
 <Baruch> no base 5
 <Baruch> "Manipulate an animals emotions", rego animal
 <Ramon> (err Base 1-20 ^^)
 <Baruch> Muto animal 3 is change an animal's limbs, but that's in the unnatural departmnet
 <Baruch> So not really healing so much
 <Ramon> (Sadly class is no better then you in healing Animals)
 <Makara> "I see, this is a serious affliction. I can only suppress the pain for now, but to completely heal her, we must bring her to your covenant for a ritual healing."
 <Gustbran> (Well, if chirurgery would help........)
 <Silas_> (maybe muto to put the leg right, THEN recovery? - not sure if it would help any)
 <Makara> to my covenant*
 <Baruch> "Very well. If you can make her more comfortable for the trip, that would be excellent."
 <Silas_> (we are not letting you touch her Gust, she is an innocent little bird, not a dangerous mage)
 <Makara> (so which is it )
 <Silas_> (do as you feel best ^^)
 * Ramon go back to the river to look if the cloud is still there where we left sedala
 <Makara> !roll 1d10+10 ReAn
 <Retrieval_Bot> Makara, ReAn:  14 :4+10
 <Baruch> If you want to soothe the pain, that would be rean 10
 <Baruch> Because touch +1
 <Baruch> So didn't work :(
 <Makara> +1 to dice?
 <Baruch> no wait, there's an aura of +2 inside the coop
 <Makara> (never really figure out how spell adds up)
 <Baruch> did you count the shouting and waving?
 <Ramon> (No Base difficulty 5 +1 for Touch means 10 difficulty)
 <Makara> (oh not yet
 <Makara> so another +2
 <Makara> and another +2 for aura
 <Makara> so 18
 <Ramon> (need confidence if spontan)
 <Baruch> Yeah, confidence does it
 <Makara> confident it is
 <Baruch> Ok, you pull it off
 <Silas_> (hehe can't fail the poor rooster :) )
 <Baruch> Alvina looks much better
 <Baruch> She clucks you a thank you
 <Baruch> Ok. What do you do now? Makara now knows the boat is in the hill-illusion
 <Ramon> (As mentioned I did look toward the River to have a look for Sedala)
 <Silas_> "I think I will take the chance to see how Libellus is doing..."
 <Makara> "very good, now if lord William II of Epworth are willing to get your fellows to flip this boat up right again, then me and my companion can fly this boat back to our covenant."
 <Baruch> Ramon: Ok, you have left for Sedala, but are not there yet
 * Makara also tell the injured chicken not to move too much.
 <Baruch> "What? We are a flock of chicken, we can't possibly move the boat! Are you mad?"
 <Silas_> "Gust, you should stay and help the... chickens..."
 <Makara> "Then who moved this boat?"
 <Baruch> The injured chicken agrees
 <Baruch> "The sons of the kindly woman who lived here before."
 * Silas_ moves off towards the west and Libelles
 <Makara> "I see, then I shall see what I can do. Pardon me." Makara leave
 <Ramon> (Sedala would have ebough strength to turn the boat around ;) )
 <Baruch> Ok, Silas heads for Libellus
 <Makara> "By that I mean, I will go look for help."
 <Baruch> The boat isn't exactly huge - if you all helped, you could do it
 <Silas_> (Gust should be able to pull it off too, put your backs into it!)
 <Aiden> !roll 1d10+3

 <Retrieval_Bot> Aiden: 6
 <Silas_> (only 27? :p )
 <Makara> (I kept thinking it's a ship)
 <Ramon> (Str 15 sould clearly do the trick if we get sedala here ;) )
 <Silas_> (its a wee row boat ^^ )
 <Baruch> (Makara: No, it's literally a rowboat, albeit big enough to accommodate about 10 people)
 <Makara> (I see it clearly, and dissapointingly now)
 <Makara> (we must steal that boat that attack us next session)
 <Makara> ship
 <Baruch> So, what are you doing?
 <Silas_> (yes ^^ )
 <Ramon> (Spreading oup in different groups)
 * Silas_ is roughing through towards Libellus
 * Makara look around for his buddies
 <Baruch> Yeah, Ramon is heading for Sedala, Silas is walking towards Libellus, Gus and Makara remain by the boat
 <Ramon> (/me dont understand Silas at all)
 <Ramon> (I mentioned it ingame that I head for Sedala)
 <Baruch> Ok, as Silas is walking in the forest, he almost bumps into a man running in the opposite direction with awesome speed
 <Makara> (I will go wash dishes in the meantime I guess)
 <Baruch> Describe yourself, Aiden
 <Baruch> Freespace, you there?
 <Silas_> (Meant to say that I was heading through the woods towards Libellus, to see what the bells were ringing for :) )
 <Aiden> "Gah!"
 <Baruch> Tell us what Aiden looks like
 <Makara> (he's a yogurt shaman)
 <Silas_> (sweet, yet creamy)
 <Aiden> (Aiden is a rather frantic-looking magus, slightly out of breath, but unineterested in chatting, as if he's in BIIIG trouble)
 <Baruch> Ok, Aiden presumably keeps running, what does Silas do?
 <Silas_> "hey!"
 <Silas_> "Why are you running?!" [yelling after the running moron]
 <Baruch> Do you respond?
 <Baruch> Silas: Roll perception+awareness (Lots of these rolls today)
 <Aiden> "You never saw me!" [in latin]
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10 (not added the minus for eyesight if applicable)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Silas_, (not added the minus for eyesight if applicable): 2
 <Silas_> (I can't see shit)
 <Baruch> Ok, nothing
 <Baruch> What do you do, Silas?
 <Silas_> [shrugs]
 <Silas_> [continues towards Libellus]
 <Baruch> Ok
 <Silas_> <-- is moron :p
 <Baruch> Suddenly, an unknown magus bursts into the clearing where Makara and Gus are wondering how to get the boat down
 <Baruch> Aiden, there are two people you don't know standing by your chicken coop with a huge monster chicken, except there's no chicken coop, there's just a hill
 <Baruch> What do you all do?
 <Makara> (someday, we will ride on chicken)
 <Ramon> (Gustbran get into your usual action ;) )
 <Silas_> (lol yeah)
 <Makara> (Cavalry knight order of Chicken)
 <Silas_> (stab that wizard!)
 <Makara> (Oh, forgot to ask one very improtant thing)
 <Makara> (Is the chicken black?)
 <Baruch> No, white
 <Makara> (too bad)
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10+3 (per+awareness to determine if he recognizes the magus)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Gustbran, (per+awareness to determine if he recognizes the magus):  9 :6+3
 <Baruch> That would be intelligence, though
 <Baruch> what would the + be then?
 <Gustbran> (same)
 <Baruch> Ok, you recognize this guy. He was a magus a Nigrasaxa where you used to work
 <Silas_> (he is as perceptive as he is intelligent, which is to say, not a lot)
 <Gustbran> (haha)

 <Baruch> You hear something, but aren't quite sure what it is
 * Ramon bring Sedala back to where Makara is if there is a big enough way to this
 <Silas_> (with these rolls I could walk into a tree before noticing)
 <Baruch> Ramon: I think it might be impossible for Sedala to walk in the forest. He could land at the clearing, though, if you want to fly
 <Gustbran> (haha)
 <Baruch> Ok, what are you doing at the clearing?
 <Baruch> Does Gus say anything? Aiden? Makara?
 * Ramon check the sky first for Drakes
 <Gustbran> .
 <Gustbran> (sorry)
 <Baruch> Aiden: You have some vis stashed away in the hut, as well as your notes about the defenses of Libellus
 * Makara Makara asking the chicken who that guy is

 <Baruch> William says: "That is the insufferable cod who has been taking care of us recently."
 <Baruch> "Quite a disappointment, really, my ladies hate her."

 <Ramon> !roll 1d10
 <Retrieval_Bot> Ramon: 7
 <Ramon> (=16)
 * Aiden ignores gustbran.
 <Baruch> Ok, Ramon, as you take off, you see a number of large hounds running from the partly rebuilt ruins of Libellus towards the forest's edge
 <Baruch> Silas: Your spell goes off without a hitch. You feel in harmony with the forest.
 <Baruch> Roll perception and awareness again, Silas, take the +3 bonus for your harmonious state
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10+3 (not added the minus for eyesight if applicable)

 <Makara> (Our covenant just keep attracting rebels members)
 * Ramon fly toward where the chicken are
 <Baruch> Silas: Ok, now you hear what sounds like barking dogs, and it's getting closer.
 <Aiden> (have I made it to the hut yet?)
 <Silas_> (I can hunt boats and elephants in the forests of england, but I can't see the wood for the trees)
 <Baruch> Ok, Aiden runs for the hut. You have it barred from the inside, but you can rego herbam the beam away as you always do
 <Baruch> Roll for that if you want to get inside
 <Baruch> Makara: The unknown magus runs straight for the hut, ignoring you and the mostrous chicken
 <Baruch> (I'm going to have to go soon, so try to get the boat upright already :D)
 <Ramon> (thats why I get sedala in ^^)
 <Baruch> Ok, Sedala lands at the clearing
 * Silas_ is uncomfortable with the dogs and starts heading back towards the coop
 <Baruch> Aiden just sees a huge cloud, with sometimes a hint of a tail peeking out
 <Baruch> Silas: Are you walking?
 <Silas_> (no fun meeting dangers without a meat shei-- ergh, Gust and the others :p )
 <Silas_> (half running half walking, yeah)
 <Baruch> Aiden, roll rego herbam if you want to move the beam
 * Gustbran focuses on helping correct the boat
 <Silas_> (away from the dogs)
 <Baruch> Silas: You are walking away from them, but the dogs seem to be headed straight for you. Their barks are getting louder. They seem to be huge.
 <Baruch> Really low, rumbling voices
 <Ramon> "Makara there is a hound pack heading here
 * Silas_ looks for any low hanging branches or anything to climb onto
 * Makara ask what the chicken think of the hound
 <Baruch> Silas: The trees are quite old here, so no low branches
 <Ramon> "I think we should hurry to get the boat ready if we want to prefent wounded chicken"
 <Baruch> But you can try to jump, I guess
 <Baruch> Ramon: What do you tell Sedala to do?
 * Silas_ lets lose a string of curses and starts running towards the coop
 <Aiden> !roll 1d10+8
 <Retrieval_Bot> Aiden:  10 :2+8

 * Ramon usa the rope he have and fix it on one the other side of the boat from sedalas point
 <Makara> "Alright, let's try and flip the boat
 <Baruch> Aiden: You barely pull it off, the beam flips out of the way
 <Baruch> Ok, Ramon gets to work on the boat
 <Silas_> !roll 1d10 (+1 Athletics (hiking) counts here)
 <Retrieval_Bot> Silas_, (+1 Athletics (hiking) counts here): 4
 <Ramon> (After this he let sedala pul)
 <Silas_> (runs into a tree :p )
 <Baruch> so that's a 9 actually
 <Baruch> for Silas, because +1 athletics, +1 specialty, +3 spell
 <Baruch> right?
 <Silas_> (ah right)
 <Silas_> (I'd forgotten the spell)
 <Baruch> Silas weaves aroudn the trees quite nicely, and the sounds of the hounds don't seem to be getting close
 <Baruch> r
 <Ramon> "Makara warn the chicken to be away from the boat bevore we turn it around"
 <Baruch> At the clearing, you are making good progress with the boat. The rope is in place
 * Makara tell the chicken to be away for the boat flipping
 <Baruch> Aiden, you manage to retrieve your vis and notes
 <Baruch> Aiden, what do you do now? You can see that the ither magi are now working with a huge cloud, attempting to do something with the hill
 <Ramon> We have to be on both ends of the boat so ti actuall turns around from the force we put in
 <Baruch> The chicken get out of the coop in good order
 <Baruch> William barks commands to them
 <Silas_> (haha yeah, there is a huge cloud at the top of the hill... nothing strange here...)
 <Baruch> Ok, roll strength + athletics everyone who is moving the boat
 <Ramon> <Sedala pull slowly>
 <Gustbran> !roll 1d10
 <Retrieval_Bot> Gustbran: 3

 <Baruch> What is Sedala's strenght anyway?
 <Makara> helping with boat flip and chicken checking
 <Ramon> (Sedala also?! as mentioned we have strangth 15 there + 1 for Athletics)
 <Baruch> oh, sorry, I thought you said size
 <Baruch> Well it's easy, Sedala pulls it off the coop, and you turn it over
 <Baruch> Freespace, what does Aiden do now?
 <Baruch> Silas emerges from the forest running like crazy
 <Baruch> You can all hear the hounds now
 <Silas_> "DOGS! ALOT OF DOGS!"
 <Baruch> deep, rumbling sounds
 <Baruch> The chicken start to panic
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10
 <Retrieval_Bot> Baruch: 6
 * Aiden runs up to the other magi
 <Baruch> But William gets them in order
 <Baruch> The chicken start climbing into the boat, as ordered by William
 <Silas_> (good work William!)
 <Baruch> Or more like flying
 <Ramon> "Get the Chicken on board and one Mage and we lift of with sedala"
 <Aiden> "is there anything I can do to help get away from here?"
 <Baruch> "Could someone help poor Alvina, please?"
 <Aiden> "I really, REALLY need to get away from here!"
 <Baruch> Says william
 * Silas_ is flushed but quickly picks up Alvina and gets into the boat
 <Baruch> So there's a frantic-looking mage there, who recently emerged from the forest, and now stands by the boat
 * Makara carefully life Alvina to the baot.
 <Ramon> "Makara I think its best you stear the boat and Silas and Gustbran is with me on Sedala"
 <Makara> lift*
 <Makara> I have animal handling
 <Baruch> What do you tell him?
 <Silas_> "Who are you anyway?!"
 <Makara> "Alright, I will stear"
 * Silas_ climbs back out to let Makara handle the chickens
 <Aiden> "my name is Aiden, but little else matters, as those dogs are out for blood."
 * Ramon remove the rope
 <Baruch> The chicken settle down under the seats of the boat
 <Silas_> "..."
 <Silas_> "you could have warned me!"
 * Ramon then climb into the cloud
 <Baruch> The monster chicken-thing seems to have disappeared at some point - no one really noticed where it went
 <Aiden> "I can pay you with Vis, just drop me off anywhere that isn't here!"
 <Silas_> "... fine, climb onto the Sedala"
 * Aiden shows some vis from the cabin.
 <Silas_> [points to the cloud]
 <Baruch> Aiden has a few silvery pearls in his hand
 <Silas_> "Quickly now"
 * Ramon lift off as soon all 3 are on Sedala
 <Baruch> Ok, you manage to lift off.
 <Baruch> The boat in hot pursuit
 <Silas_> (hehe the boat in hot pursuit ^^)
 <Baruch> The hounds arrive at the clearing a little later, but you are already off
 * Makara pet the boat wheel
 <Ramon> (We can break here and end the adventure if nothing special happen on the backway I easy can find with sedala)#
 <Baruch> Yeah, I must end
 <Makara> (UNLESS THOSE ARE FLYING DOGS)
 <Silas_> (or we meet the drake...)
 <Baruch> But you made it away with what seem to be magical chicken or somesuch, and an unknown magus
 <Silas_> (a yummy boat full of fowl, score!)
 <Baruch> We can settle those things next time, or on the forum
 <Makara> (arrr, we have found treasure!)
