  1. [2016-02-06 21:04:10] <Owen> [It is a misty afternoon; the morning was thick with unnaturally dense fog, but it seems to be clearing up a bit. Somewhat.]
  2. [2016-02-06 21:05:41] <Owen> [There are currently five patrons in the inn. A pair of burly men (or maybe half-orcs?) with thick accents gamble in the corner.]
  3. [2016-02-06 21:07:20] <Owen> [A stringy old man with a stringier beard smokes a pipe as he looks out the window. A blonde-haired girl strums on a lute, composing a new song. A shifty looking fellow who's bundled up with a scarf and wide hat keeps pacing around and walking upstairs, outside, back inside, ecetera.]
  4. [2016-02-06 21:08:44] <`GM> [Keesh is busy polishing glasses. The kobold apparently does not trust the girls to get them shiny enough.]
  5. [2016-02-06 21:16:04] <`GM> Keesh: "Dumb girlsh, can't even manage to sherve my cushtomersh my pride and joy drink. Maybe I should pay more for better shervice..."
  6. [2016-02-06 21:16:52] <`GM> [The yellow lizard grumbles from time to time, squinting those red beady eyes looking for smudges in the beer glass.]
  7. [2016-02-06 21:17:38] <Hypathia> The ever confident summoner of questionable skills was off serving customer as she should after relapsing and losing a day or three from a botched experiment. Or was it? What did however come from it was a small looking ball of sentient slime that was able to follow orders. However...
  8. [2016-02-06 21:18:21] <Hypathia> "Oh god damn it, stop eating the customer's food!" She yelled at it loud enough to attract other patron's attention momentarily until they resumed their normal routine. Except for the guy who was supposed to get his food.
  9. [2016-02-06 21:19:32] <`GM> Mr. Wispy: "Now wha's that you got there, honey?"
  10. [2016-02-06 21:19:48] <`GM> [The old man, who's food it is, motions to the slime]
  11. [2016-02-06 21:20:46] <`GM> Mr. Wispy: "Better not be my dinner; I'm not so old that I don't know roast beef ain't made a tar!"
  12. [2016-02-06 21:21:20] <Hypathia> "Some failed experiment. I think I put too much acid into the mix and well its dissolving everything that isn't living organic matter." She sighs and apologizes. "I"ll get you another of your usual set.... come on you."
  13. [2016-02-06 21:22:19] <`GM> Mr. Wispy: "Now hang on jus' a tad there! It's a cute little bugger, ain't he? Show 'im here, show 'im here."
  14. [2016-02-06 21:27:11] <Hypathia> The woman turns around and looks at the man with a bit of bewilderment." Uh... you sure? Alright.. ahem." She snaps her finger and the thing would turn to you and leap onto your lap. "It can't speak or anything but it does have a mind of its own, you want it?"
  15. [2016-02-06 21:30:00] <`GM> [The wispy man rolls the slime around in his hands, bouncing it up and down a half-inch or so, and tapping it on the head with his pipe.]
  16. [2016-02-06 21:30:07] * Gilder enters, carrying some boxes. "Where exactly did you want these?"
  17. [2016-02-06 21:30:55] <`GM> Mr. Wispy: "Oh naw naw, I know better than to play around with a failed exipired-ment, jus' a little curious is all!"
  18. [2016-02-06 21:31:33] <`GM> Mr. Wispy: "Certainly seems real enough. Ya' said you made this, hon?"
  19. [2016-02-06 21:32:23] <Hypathia> "Man, what a waste. I used a whole human soul for that too.." She sighs, as if it were the norm for her. "Oh yeah, in that tower nearby, I tinker with necromancy and what-do. Mostly trying to BE THE BEST THERE EVER WASSSSSSSSSS." She lets out that quip unexpectedly covering her mouth and blushing a bit.
  20. [2016-02-06 21:33:20] <`GM> [Keesh opens one of the boxes and peers inside. It's full of empty candle-holders.]
  21. [2016-02-06 21:34:53] <`GM> Keesh: "Ahh good, you found the right boxshesh. FOR ONCSHE. I want one candle on every table, two on the long ones. And make shure thoshe candlesh are in there TIGHT, you undershand?"
  22. [2016-02-06 21:38:42] <`GM> [Mr. Wispy hands the slime back to Hypathia, his expression falling slightly.]
  23. [2016-02-06 21:39:28] <Gilder> "I understand." he says, and starts setting up the candle holders and their candles.
  24. [2016-02-06 21:40:14] <`GM> Mr. Wispy: "Necromancy, child? At your age? Come on now, muffin, you've young and full of life still, why you need to be playin' round with death? Horrible nasty stuff, that is; I should know, I'm pretty near it meself, haw haw!"
  25. [2016-02-06 21:44:50] <Hypathia> The girl shrugs and smiles. "I lied, never got the catalyst to ever store a soul, stupid soulgems cost a friggin arm and leg I tell you. What in the hell, 760,000 Crowns!? Seriously those things look fragile as hell. I really need to make friends with a lich." She sighs and takes the slime back.
  26. [2016-02-06 21:48:28] <`GM> [The sound of a bell rings clearly throughout the common room. Which is odd considering the front door doesn't have a bell.]
  27. [2016-02-06 21:50:58] <`GM> Keesh: "Oh, it worksh!"
  28. [2016-02-06 21:51:19] <`GM> Keesh: "At leasht, probably?"
  29. [2016-02-06 21:53:43] <Hypathia> "Oh.. we have bell? Well damn.." She was already walking back into the kitchen after bidding her patron a temporary farewell.
  30. [2016-02-06 21:54:23] <`GM> Keesh: "It'sh not for the door, it'sh for mail!"
  31. [2016-02-06 21:55:24] <`GM> [The kobold follows her into the kitchen and stands in front of a small locked chest that's always just sort of sat there on the counter.]
  32. [2016-02-06 21:55:26] * Gilder looks up. "Oh, mail? Wait, we get mail here?"
  33. [2016-02-06 21:56:11] <`GM> Keesh: "Heh heh, thish is SHPECSHIAL mail, young Missh Glider!"
  34. [2016-02-06 21:56:43] <`GM> [Keesh taps the chest with a key that looks like it's made of obsidian, grinning proudly.]
  35. [2016-02-06 21:58:40] <`GM> Keesh: "INSHTANT mail! In this box is an enchanted shlate that can relay messhagesh hundredsh of milesh away! Thish ish jusht a reshiever plate; the mashter plate is at another inn thirty miles north of here."
  36. [2016-02-06 21:59:04] <Hypathia> In the background the girl brough back out Mr.Wispys order while the two knuckleheads do their thing. "Oh here you mister, enjoy!" The slime would bow in a weird but affectionate manner as well.
  37. [2016-02-06 21:59:54] <`GM> [Keesh opens the chest, peers inside, and immediately sours.]
  38. [2016-02-06 22:01:00] <`GM> Keesh: "...and they think it'sh funny to shend it in a language I can't read. Of COURSHE."
  39. [2016-02-06 22:02:00] <`GM> [Mr. Wispy raises his mug of cider at Hypathia and smiles a smile full of whiskers.]
  40. [2016-02-06 22:02:33] <`GM> Mr. Wispy: "Cheers, love! And you too little blop!"
  41. [2016-02-06 22:04:10] <Hypathia> Pumping her arm up, she cheers as well. "If ya need anythin' else just send this slime to me and he can relay orders for me.. I hope."
  42. [2016-02-06 22:05:03] <`GM> Mr. Wispy: "Ahh, uhh, no, no, I think better not, sweetie. It's already got me dinner once, I'm not giving it a second shot!"
  43. [2016-02-06 22:05:50] <`GM> [The old man continues to smile, but all the same nudges the black slime away with his foot.]
  44. [2016-02-06 22:09:25] <Hypathia> "Fine fine... tch." She mutter something about pawning him off to some poor schmuck later in the streets and motions for the slime to follower. As it do however, it was eating off the varnish from the wood grain floor.
  45. [2016-02-06 22:12:51] <Gilder> "What language is it?" he asks.
  46. [2016-02-06 22:14:24] <`GM> [Keesh scowls at Glider and takes a step to the side, inviting her to look inside.]
  47. [2016-02-06 22:15:03] <`GM> Keesh: "Well if I KNEW I could jusht casht a deshipering shpell on it!"
  48. [2016-02-06 22:17:55] <`GM> [The young woman with the lute waves hesitantly to Hypathia.]
  49. [2016-02-06 22:18:16] <`GM> Ira: "Umm, excuse me, do you have a moment?"
  50. [2016-02-06 22:18:25] <Gilder> "Mind if I take a look?"
  51. [2016-02-06 22:19:47] <`GM> Keesh: "I think that'sh what I'm DOING!"
  52. [2016-02-06 22:22:09] <Gilder> "Sorry." He looks it over.
  53. [2016-02-06 22:27:35] <Gilder> "...no, this isn't any language I know. Maybe ask Hypathia."
  54. [2016-02-06 22:28:31] <`GM> [Inside the chest is an obsidian tablet, with squares etched on it in a specific grid, one square per character of the message. This tablet can only relay short messages, it seems.]
  55. [2016-02-06 22:29:32] <Hypathia> "Wha? What in the world do you need me for now?" She turns to the people speaking about her, the slime turns as well.
  56. [2016-02-06 22:30:25] <`GM> [The blonde girl pulls back, thinking that Hypathia is in a bad mood due to her curt response.]
  57. [2016-02-06 22:30:49] <`GM> Ira: "Oh, uhh, nevermind, I'm sure you're busy."
  58. [2016-02-06 22:31:36] <`GM> Keesh: "What, you don't know either? You're an elf, I thought elvesh ate languagesh to break their fasht!"
  59. [2016-02-06 22:33:00] <Hypathia> "I'm an elf now? Well damn, oh---right customer. What d'ya need me for miss?" She turns her attention to the blonde girl. "Don't think my skills are of anything to note either."
  60. [2016-02-06 22:35:59] <Gilder> "Well, this isn't like anything I've ever seen before."
  61. [2016-02-06 22:37:27] <`GM> Ira: "This is a silly question, really, but... Do you happen to know a word that rhymes with silver?"
  62. [2016-02-06 22:37:46] <`GM> [The blonde woman look rather ashamed]
  63. [2016-02-06 22:38:24] <`GM> Ira: "I've been stuck for weeks on it. I think that perhaps I should just change the stanza..."
  64. [2016-02-06 22:42:23] <`GM> Keesh: "Uggh. Go get Hypathia."
  65. [2016-02-06 22:42:29] <Gilder> "There's an old word, chilver, which means a female lamb." he tells Ira.
  66. [2016-02-06 22:42:54] <Hypathia> "Sliver right?" She says it without missing a beat passing the the girl going into the kitchen.
  67. [2016-02-06 22:44:54] <`GM> [=-= Glider is not by Ira; he can't tell her that]
  68. [2016-02-06 22:45:35] <`GM> Ira: "Yes, silver. Or maybe ask the other serving girls if they know?"
  69. [2016-02-06 22:51:40] <Hypathia> "No no, miss. I mean Sliver, not the shiny metal you're referring it to. Unless you're after a werewolf or something."
  70. [2016-02-06 22:52:38] <`GM> [The bard makes a weird face, not too sure of the answer.]
  71. [2016-02-06 22:53:31] <`GM> Ira: "Well, n-no, I'm not after a werewolf, but... Sliver is just a half-rhyme; I thought of it ages ago, but it's just not RIGHT. It doesn't SING right, you know? The words sound too similar."
  72. [2016-02-06 22:54:03] <`GM> Ira: "Oh, I'm sorry, I guess you probably don't care about that... I didn't mean to insult you."
  73. [2016-02-06 22:55:36] <Hypathia> "Can't say I'm not interested. The persuit of knowledge's just as fun too! And if often leads to more opportunities. Maybe.. Pilfer? Like stealing and what not."
  74. [2016-02-06 22:56:44] <`GM> [The woman makes a note of that on a piece of parchment, which is already full of notes, and just as many notes that are scribbled out.]
  75. [2016-02-06 22:57:07] <`GM> Ira: "Pilfer, hmm... It's still a half-rhyme, but it's not bad, not bad at all... Thanks!"
