Log Twenty-One: Princess Ice, now Queen Ice

<CJ> Momo is sunning himself on the temple roof, surrounded by female admirers
 <Dirk> btw how many harvest do we have 3 less or more?
 <CJ> the plaza bustles with people about their business
 <CJ> harvest? Sorry lost me!
 <Momo> (Covenant harverst. I would guess 4 since we are warm all year)
 <CJ> Corbenik, you are watching some shady types from the Bazaar district, who are talking in quiet tones
 <Momo> (our economy thing)
 <CJ> Yes four a ear, but various crops
 <Dirk> (yes that is my suspicion as well because of our special clima)
 <CJ> You don't really have seasons in th normal sense because fo the cities magic
 <Dirk> (thanks :) )
 <Dirk> (So I can get regualar adventure hocks from selling trips :) )
 <CJ> Gustbran, those Bazaar chaps seem to like you. Why recently people have been giving you little gifts - fresh meat, good wine, even trinkets
 <Corbenik> (well then activate standard city guard protocol, get a surround with guard then I head in to find out)
 <CJ> You appear very popular with part fo the citie spopulation, but you are not sure why
 <CJ> Mainly the young men actually
 <CJ> Well some of them!
 <CJ> Baruch is taking a stroll through the plaza too
 <CJ> Calpurnia is frightening people as she walks down to the Temple
 <CJ> Then it happens
 <Calpurnia> (and smirking while it happens)
 <CJ> A tradesman pushing a handcart full of early strawberries upsets it, as he suddenly convulses and falls to th ground, flip flopping over the paving stones!
 <CJ> OK, time in...
 <Baruch> I'll look alarmed and run to him at once
 <Gustbran> "Oh, my!"
 * Gustbran moves in to right the cart
 <Baruch> "Are you alright?"
 <Corbenik> (started as something else happend, keeps a distance looking for shady people)
 * Momo jumps from roof to roof to get closer to the scene of interest
 <CJ> Gustbran, the chap who appears to be in his early thirties, and a respectable looking farmer, is hiccuping wildly!
 <CJ> He makes a peculiar whooping noise, and flops around
 * Calpurnia keeps walking
 * Dirk looks confused
 <Baruch> I'll spont physician's eye on him.
 <CJ> Momo you arrive near the upset cart
 <CJ> Baruch, greta idea.
 <CJ> InCo5 I think, but you get to add the aura
 <CJ> go for it
 <Gustbran> "A little too much sauce, today, eh?" to the guy
 * Dirk walk to the the place and look more close what happened
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+15
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  23 :8+15
 <CJ> Calpurnia, a young women scurries ot get away from your path. She suddenly begins to jig around, then burstout in loud hiccups
 <CJ> Baruch, the farmer is sufferring from a highly contagious disease, the hooping-hiccup.
 <Momo> "Is this an epidemic I see? "
 * Calpurnia walk around keeping a distance from woman with -_- face
 <CJ> It is often a faerie curse, and if left unattended he will soon beegin to jig, dance, and then hoop louder and louder
 <CJ> It won't be fatal, but it will last weeks if not months
 <Baruch> "We must get help for these people."
 <CJ> The woman almost kicks clapurnia as she thrashes about!
 <Baruch> Quietly to Calpurnia : "It's a fairy curse."
 <Dirk> (Do I see any thing special with second sight?)
 <Baruch> Oh, and to dirk as well
 <CJ> Momo, you see a small boy who has been rolling in the dust leap to his feet, and start to jig about, doing an odd dance and whooping loudly!
 <CJ> HOOP! HICCUP! HOOP!
 <Corbenik> "...................... sigh-------------------:
 <CJ> You assumed he was just rolling in the dust for the sheer pleasure of it before, as cats do, so you ignored it
 <Momo> "Well, this is entertaining."
 <CJ> Corbenik, ther eis a clatter as two of your guards drop their weapons, and start to jig about, dancing uncontrollably!
 <Baruch> Do I have any idea how one might go about curing that?
 <CJ> Baruch - I don't think Physicians ye tells yu that sadly
 * Momo consider watching the human dances for a few hours before dealing with it
 <CJ> Still, you hear a chorus of hiccuping and hopping coming from the fields by the Bazaar district now
 <Corbenik> -_-
 * Corbenik starts heading to the temple
 <Gustbran> "what in the....?"
 <CJ> The guards are now dancing together, holding hands and whirling round and round, hopping and hooping
 <Corbenik> -_-
 <Momo> "Yes, dance for me, humans, dance for the festival!"
 <Baruch> Do we have a corpus expert left among the magi?
 <CJ> Corbenik, as you ebnter the temple you see two servants, busily enaged in a strange little jig, while desperately trying to carry wine and cake to the council chamber
 <CJ> They are spilling it everywhere
 * Corbenik walk past
 <Dirk> Wispering: "Hmm fearie you say? Do we have a Merinita mage here?"
 <CJ> Another maid appears, daning in a frenzuied manner with a mop, and hoopoung loudly
 <CJ> No Merinita on city
 <Baruch> "Unfortunately not."
 <CJ> HOOP!
 <CJ> HICCUP!
 <Dirk> (Not corect Freespaces mage is one if I rember right)
 <Corbenik> -_- (Damn whatever this thing is is everywhere (Corbeniks thoughts))
 <CJ> Ah right yes!
 <CJ> Best find him then!
 <Baruch> "Scratch that, we do!"
 <Dirk> "Maybe a good idea to get him as they know fearie things bether then we"
 <Baruch> "Dirk, you should go ask Aiden about this. I'll ask Taitale - he is very knowledgeable, and might have an idea as well."
 <CJ> All over the city, as the sun rises higher, citizens begin to make the whooping noise, hiccup explosively and involuntarily jig around
 <Baruch> "Meet you by the temple in a bit."
 <CJ> OKey doke.
 <Baruch> I'll fly over to Taitale's house, and shout for him to come to the window. I'll ask him if he knows how one might cure the disease.
 <CJ> So Baruch you head off to find taitale?
 <CJ> He was being pushed past in his cart not so long ago
 <Dirk> "I ask the head grog where I might find aiden"
 <Baruch> Ok, so I'll fly up and see if I can locate him.
 <Baruch> "Yes, do that."
 <Corbenik> (I am heading to the the covenants head)
 <CJ> As you approach his house you see a peculiar site. Taitales children dancing and jigging, and pushing him at great speed doewn the road, roaring and whooping!
 <CJ> Taitale appears greatly distressed... not least because they are heading straight for the canal
 <Calpurnia> (Doing whatever she was trying to do earlier)
 <CJ> Corbenik, you enter the council chamber
 <Baruch> "Stop at once!"
 <Baruch> I'll cast aura of rightful authority before shouting that
 <CJ> CAlpurnia, you were going to ask for more supplies and permision to extend your lab we will say spo you too enter the council chamber
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+22
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  30 :8+22
 <CJ> OK Presence + leadership please Baruch
 <Dirk> on my way to the head grog I cast one or 2 Unseen Porter duration Sun for saving falling breakables
 <CJ> OK, the children stop pusjing Taitale, and dance in panciky circles, but they are all giggling
 <CJ> Momo, you look on as the plaza fills with gyrating dancing humans
 <CJ> They are very amsuing to a cat
 <CJ> OK Dirk no need ot roll for that it works fine :)
 * Momo tries to join the dance by standing on two leg, but failed cutely.
 <CJ> You save a lot!
 <Baruch> I'll run over to Taitale and ask him this: "It's the hooping-hiccup! Do you know how to cure it?"
 <Baruch> Does Taitale get a roll with medicine or fairy lore or something?
 <CJ> A few humans laugh at Momo, and then they start t giggle, and dance faster and faster!
 <CJ> Yes Medicine + Int
 <Corbenik> (need to go for a short bit, Corbenik is going to inform Antonious of what is occurring and what he or anyone can do to stop it. Calpurnia well she ask for stuff)
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+8 (specialization physician, so add 1 if it helps)
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (specialization physician, so add 1 if it helps):  15 :7+8
 <CJ> NO probs. Antonius looks at Corbenik in something between horror and disbelief!
 <Dirk> !roll 1d10 (Second sight if I see any invisible/disguised on my walk)
 <Magic_Dice> Dirk, (Second sight if I see any invisible/disguised on my walk): 2
 <Dirk> (Not today ^^)
 <CJ> Taitale looks thoughtful, and says "oh yes. We had an epidemic of that in 1189, when a young Antonius upset a faerieprincess. awful, awfulk business"
 <Corbenik> (Corbenik is disturbed at Antonius' reaction)
 <Corbenik> (time to go take a bath)
 <CJ> "yes there is a cure. Various faerie herbs can be used to allay the symptoms, if we have any"
 <CJ> (Absolutely)
 <Baruch> "I knew I should have gotten those herbs back at Nurnberg!" (D)
 <Baruch> (:D)
 <CJ> Antonius leaps from his chair, shouts "WHAT!??!"" and dashes outside
 <CJ> He nearly knocks Corbenik down in his haste
 <Baruch> "Thank you. I'll go inform Antonius."
 <CJ> Corbenik if here still make a quick Perception + Folk Ken
 <Baruch> I'll fly over to the temple to tell everyone about the fairy herbs
 <CJ> Momo, you notice the humans are linking ahndsm, and starting to dance in a snakelike, no drakelike sinous procession through the streets
 <Gustbran> (!)
 <CJ> Dirk, where are you know?
 <Dirk> Have I found the head grog to ask where I can find Aiden?
 <CJ> Gustbran, Antonius dashes out, and stands staring out from the steps of the city, stunned in to silemnce by what he sees!
 <CJ> You have and have made your way to Aiden's tower!
 <CJ> Dirk you approac the door of Aiden's lab
 <CJ> Aiden, you hear someone knock!
 <Dirk> OK then I will tell a unafected guard grog of this tower to get me Aiden
 <CJ> (linking hands above - not hwat I typed)
 <Dirk> (Ok no problem then you choice)
 * Aiden carefully stops what he was doing and opens the door a crack.
 <Aiden> "yes?"
 <Dirk> "We have a fearie problem at hand somthing about a hicup sickness"
 <CJ> AidBaruch, as you approach the Temple you see Antonius looking out over the strange scenes in the plaza, and shaking furiously
 <Dirk> "A lot of people are affected by now"
 <Aiden> "Hiccup sickness..?"
 <CJ> CAlpurnia is probably quite amused to see Antonius so obviously aghast
 <Dirk> "Just get out and see your self"
 <Aiden> "Sure!"
 * Aiden follows dirk to see what's going on.
 <CJ> By the time Aiden gets out, something like a tenth of th citizens are laughing, hooping, hiccupping and involuntarily dancing
 <CJ> Momo, the humans are leaping over you, as a new symptom, great leaping bounds, takes effect
 <Momo> No sure if that would give them bad luck or not
 <Baruch> "It's the hooping hiccups. We need faerie herbs for the symptoms. Do we have any, Antonius?"
 <CJ> Antonius looks utterly aghasst, and begins to shake. He looks at you with his susual contempt, and says sternly
 <CJ> "HOOP! HOOP! HICCUP!"
 <Aiden> (haha)
 * Momo goes to the temple now that there's a risk that someone will step on him
 <CJ> and then he grabs BAruch by the hand, and starts to jig up and down, giggling in a frenzied manner
 <Baruch> "Ah. The parma doesn't help then?"
 <CJ> It should :)
 <Momo> (some farie really hate antonious)
 <Corbenik> (Okay back :P)
 <Baruch> (corbenik, roll perception + folk ken)
 <CJ> Momo, you are right by the madly dancing Antonius
 <Aiden> (OK, I need a int+faerie lore to figure this out?)
 <CJ> He hoops far louder than anyone else!
 <CJ> Go for it Aiden!
 <Corbenik> !roll 1d10-1 (+1 if dealing with the covenant)
 <Magic_Dice> Corbenik, (+1 if dealing with the covenant):  5 :6-1
 <Baruch> Do I know whether the covenant has any fairy herbs? Or if it did, where they would be kept?
 <Aiden> !roll 1d10+3
 <Magic_Dice> Aiden:  13 :10+3
 <Aiden> (dun dun dun.)
 <CJ> Corbenik, all you can see is that there is no chance of restoring order, as half your men are already danicing and hooping
 * Momo thinks this old man is dancing so hard, he might rip his robe
 <CJ> Aiden: ah! yes, you knwo this disease
 <Baruch> (It was a botch? Or was it a simple die?)
 <CJ> Faeires often curse people with it. You know there are a good hlaf dozen rare herbs that will treat it, but the best is Asses Tail, which is a kind of moss that grows oon cyprius trees
 <Dirk> (would say it was a simple die)
 <CJ> You need to get some, and make a paste, annoint the forehead of the victim, and make a little tail they must wear until the disease wears off
 <CJ> Lacks in dignity, but effectively cures it!
 <CJ> Simple die
 <Aiden> (*phew*)
 <CJ> Aiden knows the disease, so simply down to what the actual cure is
 <CJ> Aiden knows that
 <CJ> Unfortunately you are currntly somewhere over the Northern Oceans
 <CJ> No cypress anywhere near
 <CJ> Still, high in the norther mountains grows the Moose Tail moss. That should do the trick, if you can gather some. Grows in faerie regios
 <CJ> Antonius tears off his robe, and clad only in his linen uundershirt whirls away in to the dancing crowds
 <Corbenik> -_-
 <Momo> "And the old man did it."
 <CJ> HOOP! HOOP! HiCCUP HICCUP!
 <Calpurnia> o_O
 <CJ> His dignity is sufferring somewhat
 <Momo> "Didn't know he had it in him."
 <CJ> Antonius leaps high, and hoops louder than the rest
 * Momo look with a stern fatherly disapproval.
 <CJ> ;)
 <Aiden> to Dirk. "We need to find some cypress trees! I'll explain everything on the way. I imagine there aren't any here...."
 <Calpurnia> (blinded)
 <CJ> OK, everyone has gathered at Temple steps?
 <Baruch> Yeah
 <CJ> Not on the city, nope
 * Dirk get in silent communication with the High Prist if he know some magical cure for this I could use trough him
 <CJ> (to cypress trees)
 <Baruch> "Cypress - that's a tricky one. Any other way you know of?"
 <CJ> The High Proest knows that Moose Tail moss is the best option. Last time, two decades or so ago, they used Asses Tail moss
 <Dirk> "Hmm Mosse Tail or Asses Tail, now I just need to know what this is and where to get it"
 <Momo> "And where to get catnip"
 <Momo> "It's important."
 <CJ> Anyone got herbalism in any form?
 <CJ> :)
 <Corbenik> "..."
 <Corbenik> (survival :P )
 <Dirk> (Only have Craft woodcarfing but that dont help there ^^)
 <Corbenik> (also wilderness sense)
 <Baruch> (nope)
 <CJ> That will do! Aiden can recognise the herb as being dark brown, stringy and hanging from trees or rocks
 <CJ> Alot of citizenms are now following Antonius in a snakey dance around the city, jigging and hooping their hands on the shoulders of the person in front
 <Baruch> "Does anyone know where a moss of either sort would grow - preferably as near as possible?"
 <Dirk> ok dark brown, stingy do I rember seeing this here on the city already when looking for usable wood?
 <CJ> Corbenik, you saw some glitening mountains this morning about forty miles to the east of the covennat - possibly Scandinavia
 <Momo> "Just try out every moss you see!"
 <CJ> Nope Dirk, none on covenant
 <CJ> lol!
 <Momo> "Grab a grog, tie him up and try it on him."
 <CJ> Should be Moose tail. I typed it wrong :)
 * Corbenik stares at the distance
 <Dirk> "Hm so we need to fly down and hopfull find it on the ground somewhere"
 <CJ> The dustant mountains capped with ice look serene and beautiful.
 <Baruch> "Yes, that does seem to be the most prudent course of action."
 <Baruch> (To the magemobile!)
 <CJ> (and probably filled with deadly Rune Wizards!)
 <Corbenik> (YAY)
 <CJ> Right, so you are taking the boat.
 <CJ> End of Scene One
 <CJ> Scene Two will have the party who go to look for the herb. CHoose who is going, I'm taking a 5 minute breah to grab a drink
 <CJ> Choose one character ech, you an argue who goes between you :)
 <Gustbran> (I suppose I should be staying behind and help attempt to keep order?)
 <Baruch> B goes, since I haven't got Taitale's magical means of transportation done yet.
 <Baruch> (There's not much you can do about that I think)
 <Dirk> (I use dirk as Ramon is away from the covenant doing Redcap work)
 <Momo> (I will use momo)
 <Corbenik> (hrmmm well Corbenik won't be getting any xp this time, Calpurnia shall then be up)
 <Gustbran> (Well I think keeping people who aren't infected indoors would help somewhat until you return. beside, I wanna use Aiden!)
 <Baruch> (Of course you can use him!)
 <Aiden> (silly Gustbran!)
 <Baruch> (:D)
 <Dirk> btw bevore we fly I try a ward against feary of the wood against around one affected
 <Dirk> (forgot that I have this spell^^)
 <Baruch> That would probably only work before the fact
 <Aiden> (remind me the formula for casting again?)
 <Dirk> (Yep probably but hey its wort a try)
 <Baruch> So Gus and Taitale might appreciate it :)
 <Momo> (so wait, we gonna grab a moss, paste it, then apply it to every single person on the city?)
 <Dirk> (yea thats the plan ^^)
 <Calpurnia> (yep very effecient right :P )
 <Baruch> (Aiden: It's technique + form + aura + stamina + possibly shouting and waiving 2)
 <Momo> (was hopping we can just track down the culprit)
 <Momo> (but who can argue again rune wizard!)
 <Momo> against*
 <Aiden> (Well, waving and shouting doesn't work well for me due to method casting.)
 <Baruch> (Hope we find lots of moss, right:)
 <CJ> Aiden, where you casting the ward? :)
 <Momo> (gallon worth of moss, right)
 <Baruch> (Oh yeah)
 <Baruch> It was Dirk's ward
 <Dirk> (I will casting the ward)
 <Aiden> (I only have ward agains demons, actually)
 <CJ> Dirk, sorry, where you casting the ward? On the baot, on yourself, or on a circle?
 <CJ> It's normally target: Circle I think?
 <Dirk> !roll 1d10+21 (vs 20)
 <Magic_Dice> Dirk, (vs 20):  28 :7+21
 <CJ> OK, that will work against Wood Faeies of up to MIght 14
 <CJ> Does Dirk have any penetration?
 <Dirk> (Yes I have the spell at this level)
 <Dirk> (No sadly not)
 <Baruch> You can cast it around the entire city if it's circle, right?
 <CJ> Ah level 20, so ten
 <Baruch> maybe that would keep the disease from spreading
 <CJ> You can if oyu can walk all the way round maintaining concentration yes
 <CJ> What is Dirks Concentration?
 <CJ> he would need a 4 to do that without rolling
 <CJ> if he has Concentration 4 he can ward th whole city
 <Dirk> I use a other spell to draw the circle (Draw the perfet Circle)
 <CJ> Actually know, he does not need to
 <CJ> The city is already a cirle - I am an idiot!
 <Calpurnia> :P
 <Momo> What if it's an oval?
 <Aiden> (LOL)
 <CJ> OK the whole city is fine, he know has warded the whole city against Wood faaries
 <CJ> Then you are stuffed :D
 <CJ> Luckily it's a circle
 <CJ> Dirk spends a moment casting the spell which takes effect!
 <Dirk> Em CJ I have a bether Idea let me just look up something how to do it
 <CJ> Okey doke :)
 <CJ> I had not thought of that, but technically you could use circle spells onm the city instead of boundary! I'll have to ask on the forum about hat one!
 <Momo> There goes our local ecosystem of wood faries that's getting cast out of the city by dirk
 <CJ> the TAlas Games ars Amgica forum
 <CJ> Atlas Games ars MAgica forum
 <Momo> (crop gonna suffer this season isn't it)
 <Dirk> Arcan Circle is it then its + 1 level to normal cirlce
 <CJ> http://forum.atlas-games.com/viewforum.php?f=4 it's here, good place to ask rules stuff
 <CJ> :)
 <Dirk> So i make a inner circle and cast it on this to affect our outer circle
 <CJ> OK, Dirk casts the spell
 <CJ> There si no obvious effect, but it may well have hjelped
 <Dirk> !roll1d10+25 (Shouting and waving)
 <CJ> Ah ok let's see how he does1
 <Dirk> !roll 1d10 +25 (Shouting and Waving vs 25)
 <Magic_Dice> Dirk, +25 (Shouting and Waving vs 25): 1
 <CJ> and again!
 <Dirk> roll 1d10
 <Calpurnia> ......
 <Dirk> !roll 1d10+25
 <Magic_Dice> Dirk:  33 :8+25
 <Dirk> (no didnt work first time sorry)
 <CJ> OK< so speel si level 20 formulaic?
 <Dirk> (Is still forumlaic)
 <Dirk> (jep)
 <CJ> No pesky wood faeries gonna be coming in to your city for a while!
 * Momo watches as dozen of wood fairies jumps off the covenant.
 <CJ> Well till someone breaks the circle :)
 <CJ> lol!
 <Calpurnia> -_-
 <CJ> Nope, theya re stuck inside I think Momo
 <CJ> Can't jump off!
 <Momo> k
 <CJ> ;)
 <CJ> lol!
 <CJ> They are now prisoners in the city
 <CJ> Right, so who is going in te boat?
 <Baruch> Baruch
 <Dirk> Dirk
 <Aiden> (me)
 <Momo> Momo!
 <Calpurnia> I
 <Baruch> I'll be flying again, I think, so here's the intelligence + finesse:
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+7
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  17 :10+7
 <Baruch> Urgh.
 <Calpurnia> ...........
 <CJ> OK Baruch flies up and in to the sky
 <Baruch> Stress, right? :D
 <CJ> and then...
 <Dirk> (If not stress then fine)
 <CJ> roll a botch die
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch: 9
 <Baruch> phew
 <CJ> these are unsuaul circumstabnces
 <Baruch> so just 7
 <CJ> is fine, though buffetted by the strong winds of the north
 <CJ> OK, who is flying the boat ?
 <Dirk> (Not dirk)
 <Momo> (You want a cat to what?)
 <Baruch> Wha? Baruch
 <Baruch> That was my flying roll that I almost botched
 <Calpurnia> (yes let the cat fly it)
 <Aiden> (hehe)
 <Baruch> Or what do you mean?
 <Momo> (I think CJ think you are magic flying yourself)
 <Calpurnia> (cute and handsome kitty)
 <Baruch> Nonono I fly the boat :)
 <CJ> Oh Baruch is flying the boat, I thought you were fkying your magi item!
 <Baruch> Nah, the boat
 <CJ> Sorry. As Baruch can fly as well I was confused
 <CJ> OK, the boat is buffeted by strong winds, but soon is flying out over the dark waters of the northern ocean. and it is bitterly cold now
 <Aiden> (no reason too unless the boats overcrowded, I think)
 <Calpurnia> :D yay cold
 <CJ> The cat is not impressed i take it? Ten minutes ago he was basking in the spring sun
 <CJ> Where to then?
 <Baruch> I have put my flying furs on again
 * Momo curl up in someone robe
 <CJ> The mountains in the distance?
 <Baruch> If we see mmountains, I head to them
 <Baruch> yeah
 <Calpurnia> Pick up the cat and starts petting it
 <CJ> Baruch, you fly for an hour or so. noon is ppproacjing
 <CJ> approaching even.
 <CJ> The coastline is jagged, with deep frightful fjords, and the mounatisn rise steep from the sea
 <CJ> You can see a small fishing village nestled deep down a fjord, and a tiny wooden stave church
 <CJ> the landscape is majestic, awe inspiring
 <Dirk> "We are looking for a Forest"
 <Momo> "Look at this godfosaken land... oh look, a church."
 <CJ> the tops of the mountains are lost in cloud and snow
 <CJ> Dirk, make a perception _ awareness
 <CJ> (:) at Momo)
 <CJ> Aiden, you know you need faerie auras to find the moose tail moss
 <Dirk> !roll 1d10
 <Magic_Dice> Dirk: 9
 <Momo> (Momo have faerie sight)
 <Aiden> (I have second sight.)
 <CJ> OK Dirk, the slopes of the mountains are filled with pine forests, with little deciduous woods among them, and occasional meadows filled with spring flowers and fed by chattering waterfalls
 <Dirk> (I also have second sight but not in usable range)
 <CJ> Ok baruch where you flying to?
 <CJ> Aiden and dirk can look for faeries with Second Sight as get closer
 <Dirk> "The slopes have wood but mostly pine forest"
 <Baruch> I'll fly low over the forests
 <Baruch> "Keep an eye out for the right kinds of place."
 <CJ> OK, about half weay up the mountains, below the snow line?
 <CJ> Aiden and Dirk, please make Perception + Scond Sight Rolls
 <CJ> Momo, do you have Faerie Sight?
 <Dirk> !Roll 1d10
 <Magic_Dice> Dirk: 6

 <CJ> OK aiden nearly falls out of the boat
 <CJ> Um, not sure on that Dirk. What sthe description say?
 <Aiden> (gah! what's with those tens!)
 <Momo> (Gah I just petted by calpunia, now I will roll botch soon)
 <Dirk> (Yes need a sample so we need to find one first then I can use this for more)
 <CJ> Yep you do just looke dit uip!
 <Calpurnia> (do you want to be hugged as well kitty kitty :P )
 <Momo> (scatch scatch)
 <Calpurnia> (crack crack)
 <Calpurnia> (stabby stabbY)
 <CJ> Momo, you notice a galde that seems absolutely perfect. Sunny, and the trees are bigger than normal. You can tell it is a Faerie place. Dirk looks at it, and can make out wood faeries, tinty ones, hiding in the flowers and trees
 <Momo> (Stabby stabby is gustbran thing!)
 <CJ> You've found what looks like a faerie area
 <CJ> Now Aiden, do you have Faerie Lore?
 <Calpurnia> (I have a shortsword, and it can be used to stab :P )
 <Aiden> (yup_
 <Momo> "Oh yes! A sunny place!"
 <CJ> OK, roll INT + FAerie Lore
 <Dirk> "this glade looks like a good place for fearies"
 <Momo> "Go there, go there, get warm!"
 <Dirk> (btw my latin sound kind of very old)
 <Aiden> !roll 1d10+3 (+1more if fairie forests spec counts)
 <Magic_Dice> Aiden, (+1more if fairie forests spec counts):  8 :5+3
 <Calpurnia> (scootches Momo off herself and towards the forest)
 <Dirk> (have we landed?)
 <CJ> It does count. OK, this is an odd fairie area. It si in the glade clearly the home of minor (Might 5 or less) wood faeries, but you know the right songs and signs ot appease them. they won't trouble you. Yet there si also evidence of Mountain Faeries - Trolls, as they are called here
 <CJ> Not alnaded just yet!
 <Calpurnia> heheheheh
 <CJ> Momo, big silvery fish swin in a pool in the glade
 * Momo play with the fish
 <CJ> There is also a  waterfall that feeds the pool, and big mossy boulders
 <CJ> You can once Bauch decides if he wants to land here :)
 <CJ> The pool is big enoug to putthe boat down in
 <Aiden> "This is indeed a faerie area."
 <CJ> (the village and chuch incidentally are about a mile away, but a couple of thousand feet lower down the mountain side in height as well)
 <Baruch> "Let us pay the faeris a visit, then."
 <CJ> You could keep looking elsewhere.
 <Dirk> I use my special Spell "Understand the forest" (Like Ituition of the Forest but only concentration duration)
 <CJ> OK, landing?
 <CJ> OK Dirk roll to cast that. You are in a faere aura so you get a +1, but also its a stress die
 <Baruch> Yeah, I'll land in the glade.
 <CJ> Momo, you after te fish? :)
 <Dirk> No roll its a rot
 <Momo> if I can and if I am hungry
 <Momo> otherwise I am playing
 <CJ> the fish spalash around playfully, and chant rude words at Momo!
 <CJ> Okey doke, spell up. I assume that means rote :)
 <Dirk> (yep)
 <CJ> (I designed those rules with Neil)
 <Calpurnia> (stupid damn cat, stupid damn cat <-fish)
 <CJ> OK, Dirk, you become aware this is a very *Faerie forest*. There is an entrance to a regio here - if you slip between those two pine trees, you will find the secret heart of the glade.
 * Momo pounce the water left and right to make the fish swim left and right
 <CJ> lol at Calpurnia!
 <CJ> The fish dart around, ignoring Calpurnia scorn and playing with Momo!
 <CJ> *Faerie Aura currently 2*
 <CJ> What everyone else doing?
 <Dirk> "I think I fount the entrance to the heart of the glad but prefer to stay outside"
 <Calpurnia> (are we in the middle of the pond thing?
 <CJ> by the edge. Easiest place to put the boat down
 <CJ> Momo can see the way in to the regio
 <Baruch> "Well, let's see if we can find the moss outside the regio first."
 <CJ> Aiden can if he rolls Per + Second Sight 6+
 * Dirk look for the moos we need
 * Calpurnia gets off the boat and makes sure she touches the water before getting on the land to make it cold\
 <CJ> Dirk, you can roll Perception + Survival
 <Baruch> "What did you say it looked like again?" *starts looking*
 <Momo> "Took you long enough to see the big large entrance."
 <Momo> "Is like you all are blind or something"
 <Baruch> (Do I roll perception + survival as well?)
 <Aiden> !roll 1d10+3 (+1  Faerie spec accounted for)
 <Magic_Dice> Aiden, (+1  Faerie spec accounted for):  12 :9+3

[Baruch recap what CJ missed]

 <Dirk> (how many botch die as I dont have survival?)
 <CJ> Everyne ok?
 <Baruch> Yeah, do I get to roll too?
 <CJ> Ah three then, keep rolling two more!
 <Dirk> (ok rote drop)

 <Momo> (calpurnia fault)
 <Baruch> (We both found the same ravine)
 <Calpurnia> (yeah, what you going to do about it :P )
 <Dirk> (I botched if I saw it right :(
 <Momo> (Better than botch at spell...)
 <Baruch> (Yeah, we both botched with 1)
 <Calpurnia> (very true)
 <Momo> (Clearly momo is right that you two are blind)
 |<-- CJ has left irc.synirc.net (Connection reset by peer)
 <Aiden> (maybe the faeries are just playing tricks on you!)
 <Calpurnia> Well this isn't looking good
 <Aiden> (oh boy)
 -->| CJ has joined #wizardbase
 <CJ> Right sorry about this
 <Aiden> (phew)
 <CJ> My connection has dropped twice
 <Dirk> (Wb Baruch and I got one Botch each)
 <CJ> I managed to sort it i think
 <Baruch> (We both botched with 1 die, Dirk and I, the survival roll)
 <CJ> OK, I'll deal with the botches in a second
 <Baruch> (And Aiden probably was able to see into the regio with his roll of 12)
 <CJ> Aiden I missed your roll, can you tell me what it was?
 <Calpurnia> ( I am wandering about exploring )
 <CJ> Yes Aiden can see clearly in. The forst deyond is more somber, and rock, and a little misty, but even more beautiful
 <Momo> (You two fail survival, stop breathing)
 <CJ> Calpurnia, you hear a sudden shriek!
 * Calpurnia turn towards scream
 <CJ> Can I have Dex + Athletics rolls agaiost Difficult 9 from Baruch and Dirk please?
 <Calpurnia> (Does it sound male or female?)
 <Dirk> !roll 1d10+1
 <Magic_Dice> Dirk:  9 :8+1
 <CJ> Baruch and Dirk went that way, through the bushes in search of moss...
 <Dirk> (pew!)
 <CJ> Male, both the screams!
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+2
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  7 :5+2
 <Baruch> Confidence!
 <CJ> OK,Calpurnia, peering through the bushes you discover that Dirk and Baruch found a cliff edge.
 <Calpurnia> -_-
 <Aiden> (Whoo! close!)
 <CJ> Dirk is hanging on by one hand to a bush a few feet below the edge, and Baruch is plunging a thousand feet straight down :)
 <Calpurnia> "Why are you trying to kill yourselves?"
 <Momo> "Cause they are blind."
 <Baruch> (CJ: I didn't fail the roll)
 <Calpurnia> "I know but that doesn't make them suicidal"
 <Baruch> (Or wasn't I allowed to use ocnfidence?)
 <Dirk> (we both didnt fail it)
 <Momo> "Maybe it's accidental?"
 <CJ> I know. :)
 <Baruch> (Ok)
 <Momo> "Cause by blindness?"
 <Calpurnia> Anyway is Baruch plummeting?
 <CJ> Baruch is now you see actually flying down, examining the cliff for moss
 <Momo> "Or they just bad at mountain climbing."
 <Baruch> (:D)
 <CJ> Dirk isn't
 <CJ> This looks like exactly the right place to find the moss!
 <CJ> Unfortunately there is none :(
 <Calpurnia> I'm going to with one hand try and pullish Dirk up with one hand, then jump after Baruch.
 <CJ> Dirk, what you up to?
 <CJ> And Aiden and Momo and Calpurnia?
 * Dirk take Calpurnias hand
 <CJ> OK, Calpurnia please roll Str + Athletics
 * Momo can't do much in this situation
 * Momo Cat paw and stuff
 <Baruch> (Baruch is fine, in case you didn't notice, and just flying around)
 <Calpurnia> !roll 1d10+2
 <Magic_Dice> Calpurnia:  10 :8+2
 <CJ> Fishes are now singing you a song about morning breaking over the mountain
 <Aiden> (If I didn't hear that shriek I'm a gonna enter the regio if I think I can find some moss there.)
 <CJ> Calpurnia easily pulls Dirk to safety
 <Dirk> "thanks"
 <CJ> Aiden, best roll Per + Awareness
 * Momo sings with the fish
 * Baruch heads back to glade to look for moss
 <Baruch> "Nothing here, it seems."
 <Aiden> !roll 1d10+4 (+1 more if searching spec counts)
 <Magic_Dice> Aiden, (+1 more if searching spec counts):  7 :3+4
 <Baruch> "Ah, yes, didn't realize you couldn't fly, Dirk. Sorry about not doing anything. I tend to forget sometimes."
 * Dirk go back to the ship and make a perfect circle around it and use the Ward against fearis on it
 <Calpurnia> ".... welp" (at Baruch) leaves back to exploring
 <Aiden> (hehe)
 <Dirk> (err feries of the wood)
 <Momo> "In the morning glowing light shiny~~ Shiiinnyyy~~ La la la"
 |<-- CJ has left irc.synirc.net (Ping timeout)
 <Aiden> (Gaah)
 <Calpurnia> :P
 <Dirk> (Dirk think right now that he was tricked by fearies thats why this action ^^)
 <Momo> (probably)
 <Aiden> (just remember if you encounter one don't accept any gifts!)
 <Calpurnia> (OH COME ON~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)
 <Momo> (offer gift instead)
 <Aiden> *plays jeopardy music*
 <Calpurnia> I'll take CJ for 300
 <Aiden> This grog was created by him and was used by someone to stab a very important mage.
 <Calpurnia> Gustbran
 <Aiden> I'm sorry, but it needs to be in the form of a question, you lose.
 <Calpurnia> DAMN YOU JEOPARDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 <Aiden> :)
 <Momo> well good time to discuss on what grog we should make
 <Aiden> Well, I'm a gonna say it's sammich time. brb.
 <Calpurnia> Question I probably didn't here or understand, what is this grog thing you talking about?
 <Baruch> I've made some of Taitale's children, but they are not covenant grogs
 -->| CJ has joined #wizardbase
 <CJ> Blast it!
 <CJ> OK I am going to have to phone the cable company :(
 <CJ> Can anyone see this?
 <Baruch> (Calpurnia: It's that we should stat out some more grogs than what we have now, so we have a bigger pool to draw from)
 <Baruch> yea
 <Calpurnia> yes
 <Calpurnia> Okay, I'll stat to think about a grog then
 <CJ> OK where were we?

[Baruch recap what CJ missed]

 <Dirk> !roll 1d10+20 (vs 20 including aura for Ward against fearie of the wood around our ship)
 <Magic_Dice> Dirk, (vs 20 including aura for Ward against fearie of the wood around our ship):  27 :7+20
 <CJ> Aiden you did not hear the scream so you enter the regio. o only momo notices
 <Dirk> (prepared with the rote Scribe the perfect circle)
 <CJ> OK speel up
 <CJ> Aiden you eneter the regio
 <Baruch> I'll head back to the glen after the incident by the cliff, and see if I could find moss there
 <CJ> As you enetr you are shocked by how lush and green everything is, the grass is up to your shoulders!
 <CJ> Some of these boulkders are absolutely vast, and the trees! They are as high as mountains
 <CJ> Looking around, you can see far far above you on the mountainside some brown moss of the type you need
 <Dirk> (haha Aiden is shrunken down ^^)
 <CJ> Perhaps a thousand feet ot more away
 <CJ> Right rest of you what you up to?
 <Baruch> Do I see Aiden enter the regio?
 <Calpurnia> exploring
 <CJ> Yeah Baruch, just as you return. Momo you see Aiden enter as well
 <CJ> Calpurnia make a Per + Survival
 <Aiden> (nack)
 * Momo bid farewell to the fish to check up the scream
 <Aiden> (back)
 <Calpurnia> !roll 1d10+3
 <Magic_Dice> Calpurnia:  11 :8+3
 <CJ> Momo, you wander over to find Calpurnia poking in the bushes, Dirk and Baruch returning
 <CJ> Calpurnia, under a bush you find a little golden horn hanging from a branch
 <CJ> It's elbaorately curved and rather splendid as musical instruments go!
 * Calpurnia poke at it, should nothing happen pick it up.
 <Baruch> "It seems Aiden has entered the regio without us. Hm, quite brazen. We don't seem to have any of the moss here, though, so we might have to consider following him."
 <CJ> Nothing happens. It's hanging from two chains from the branch
 <CJ> Aiden, what oyu doing?
 <Dirk> "I secured our boat a bit so none of the weaker feary enter"
 <Aiden> (Since I know where some is I'm going to tell the others)
 <CJ> Yep. The faireis are vaoiding the boat, even the fish oddly enough now
 <Baruch> "Excellent idea. I was worried about that, to be honest."
 <CJ> Aiden you wander out of the regio, which takes longer than you expect, and find the others
 <Momo> "Found any moss?"
 <Dirk> "when we just haved a smple then the search would be much easyer"
 <Aiden> "I found some, but it seems to be quite in a difficult position to reach."
 <Momo> "Should had go with my plan to grab a grog to use as test subject"
 <CJ> CAlprnia, the chains on the horn look breakable
 <CJ> or you could snap the branch it is chained to off if you wanted?
 <Baruch> "Why is it difficult? Anywhere I could fly?"
 <Aiden> (do I see the thing cal is playing with?)
 <Calpurnia> I'm going to go get momo
 <Baruch> (CJ: Btw, even if you haven't statted Arabella fully yet, could you tell me her int+magic theory so I can use her on my lab calculations?)
 <Dirk> (CJ maybe disconected again)
 <Calpurnia> yeah
 <Dirk> (to long nothing from him)
 <CJ> (sure Int +2 Magic Theory 2)
 <Baruch> (Ok, thanks)
 <CJ> Cal you get momo
 <Dirk> (ohh he is still here great :) )
 <CJ> yep so what you all doing
 <Calpurnia> "I have use for you" Pick up momo from behind holding under "arm" pits.
 <Dirk> (Aiden Baruch and I waiting for your answear)
 <CJ> just jump in
 * Momo wipe his paw clean with cal's robe
 <Aiden> (So do I see the thing that calpurnia is playing with?)
 <Calpurnia> I don't have it
 <Momo> clothes
 <CJ> Ask again I may have missed it!
 <Dirk> <Baruch> "Why is it difficult? Anywhere I could fly?"
 <Baruch> (No, we asked Aiden, you don't have to answer CJ :)
 * Calpurnia I take momo over to where I found the item
 <CJ> Nope, only Cal knows wher the horn is, it is some away
 <CJ> OK momo you see the horn
 * Calpurnia I put him down
 <Baruch> (Do you tell us about the Moss, Aiden?)
 <Momo> "What? You bring me here to see a horn?"
 <Momo> "Is a horn."
 <Momo> "There"
 * Dirk slaps Aiden around a bit with a large trout
 <Calpurnia> "What is it and should I be wary of it aka is it magical?"
 <Aiden> "Yes, the moss is way up! Flying might be just what we need!"
 <CJ> http://www.rugs-n-relics.com/Brass/ceremonial-signal/1915-PostHorn.jpg
 <CJ> This si what the horn looks like. It is connected by two chans to a branch
 <Baruch> "Ah, splendid. Let us go get it, then, and maybe Dirk can use it to find some in a more accessible location."
 <Aiden> (Ah! a satyr horn!)
 <Dirk> "Hmm then best you go baruch while I have a eye on our boat"
 <CJ> Momo has no idea what it is for, but it hangs only 8" from the ground!
 <Momo> "You asking a cat what a horn is?"
 <Baruch> "Could you lead the way to the regio, Aiden? I am not very knowledgeable on such things."
 <Aiden> "It would be my pleasure!"
 <CJ> Siden you taking Baruch and Dirk in?
 <Calpurnia> "............... I'm asking if it is a faerie thing"
 <CJ> Momo would know it is likely a faerie thing ;)
 <Aiden> (Yeah I'll take them it.)
 <CJ> Aiden even :)
 <Momo> "Sure, it's a fairie thing."
 <Momo> "You can't tell?"
 <CJ> OK, as you go through to the next level everything changes
 <Calpurnia> Well sense he doesn't know much of it I will break the branch to get it free
 <Baruch> (I think Dirk stayed behind, right?)
 <CJ> Dirk actually realises immeduiatel;y. You have all shrunk ot precisely one inch high
 <Calpurnia> "..........you are the only faerie I've ever talked to"
 <CJ> Well Dirk can see through with Second Sight if did not come
 <Momo> "What faerie? Me? No, I'm a cat"
 <CJ> In which case you two just marvel at the vast blades of grass, and huge logs lying everyhwere, and massive boulders, but above all the absolutely gigantic pine trees!
 <Baruch> "Where's the moss, then?" *flies up to get it where Aiden indicates*
 <Calpurnia> "..... a cat that talks...... right~~~~~~~~~"
 <CJ> Dirk need to know did you eneter?
 * Aiden points the way!
 <Momo> "Right."
 <Dirk> (No I didnt sorry CJ I keep a eye on the boat)
 <CJ> OK Baruch you fly confidently towards the moss!
 <CJ> OK Dirk
 <Calpurnia> "I ask then... how do you know about faerie stuff then"
 <CJ> Baruch and Aiden please make rolls on Perception + AWareness

 <CJ> Baruch has not seen it yet, but it flying straight for him!
 <Momo> (Probably just trying to mate with Baruch)
 <CJ> Dirk, you feel the forst telkl you something is very wrong now
 <Aiden> "Look out!" I yell!
 <CJ> Momo and Calpurnia, you have a horn what you up to?
 <Calpurnia> (going to lay it's eggs on his skin)
 <CJ> OK Baruch you suddenly hear a warning from Aiden
 <Calpurnia> 	Calpurnia	"hmf" anyway I break the branch to get the horn
 <Baruch> Once I spot the wasp, I blast it with my trusty wind
 <Momo> "Now blow the horn and entertain me, peasant!"

 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+8 (using auram spc)
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (using auram spc):  14 :6+8

 <CJ> OK, Baruch you evade the deadly wasp sting!
 <Momo> "You asking a cat to blow a horn?"
 <CJ> BAruch, your attack. Trusty wand yes?
 <Calpurnia> "I'm not asking"
 <Baruch> Trusty wind, aye
 <Momo> "I'm am asking."
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+47 (with shouting and wavaing)
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (with shouting and wavaing):  51 :4+47
 <CJ> OK, I think it will simply sned the poor wasping flying away erratically
 <Calpurnia> "Well then we know how this will go, we need someone else to blow it."
 <CJ> It is very surprised to be hot by a gale!
 <Momo> "good idea."
 <CJ> Aiden, Per + Second sight roll please?
 <CJ> Te wasp has left the areas now
 <Baruch> I'll fly toward the moss again
 <Momo> "Again, if only we had tie up a grog and bring it with us."
 <CJ> lol
 <Calpurnia> "A shame we didn't"
 <CJ> Baruch, you get ha;lfway to the moss, and everything changes...
 <CJ> SAiden - Baruch has vanished
 <Momo> "No one listen to the wise cat with a plan."
 <Aiden> !roll 1d10+2 (+1 more again if faerie)
 <Magic_Dice> Aiden, (+1 more again if faerie):  10 :8+2
 <CJ> OK Aiden, you can clearly see another regio, a deeper level, that Baruch has just enetered. And something big and clatery is moving through the head high grass towards you
 <Aiden> (clatery?)
 <CJ> Baruch, you suddenly see the icy cliff above has a huge ledge, and a cave entrance. The moss is above the cave
 <CJ> clatery - sort of make a nose a bit like armour
 <Aiden> (ah)
 <CJ> clattery even!
 <CJ> As in to make a clicking kind of noise
 <Momo> (Armored rune mage)
 <CJ> Dirk, you ar getting a very odd feeling from the forst - like it is scared
 <CJ> So what you all doing?
 * Momo and calpurnia looking for someone to blow the horn
 <Calpurnia> (correct)
 <Baruch> (Hmm.. could I use Whispering winds to try to hear "into" the cave?)
 <CJ> You find Dirk guarding the boat?
 <Aiden> (I'd like to cast the invisible eye revealed)
 <Dirk> "Have you done something to scare the forest?"
 <Baruch> (It's descrciption only mentions hearing conversations, but you'd think you could hear anything in sight radius if you want?)
 <CJ> Why not? Taht would be an Int + Finesse test
 <Baruch> Ok, I'll try that before moving too close
 <Momo> "Nope, just playing with fish."
 <Momo> "Until you scare it away with your spell."
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+31 (against 15, not shouting and waving)
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (against 15, not shouting and waving):  35 :4+31
 <Baruch> Goes off, now the finesse roll
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+8 (finesse)
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch, (finesse):  12 :4+8
 <Momo> "So maybe YOU scare the forest."
 <CJ> OK Baruch, something big lumbering in fact huge and lumbering is sniffing in the cave, and breathin heavily
 <CJ> You hear a deep rumbling IMMEnse chuckle
 <Dirk> "It just recently changed to fear so it defenitve wasn't my spell"
 <Momo> "Maybe your spell is slow."
 <CJ> Aiden, you are are farie expert, wwhat you up to
 <Momo> "Anyway, blow this horn and appease the forest."
 <Dirk> (Momo you are a fearie of the wood?)
 <Momo> (nah, I am fairy court kind)
 <Dirk> "Huh where did you find this?"
 <Momo> "Calpurnia found it. Probably a gift from the forest"
 <Aiden> (I'd like to cast invisible eye revealed. That tells if you're being spied on, yeah?)
 <Momo> (or animal? Not sure)
 <CJ> Yes it does
 <CJ> Roll to cast it, and add three for the aura
 <CJ> (ANimal I think by form, but a faerie fo the court)
 <Momo> (sounds right)
 <CJ> Anyway Baruch, Aiden, indeed everyone?
 <Aiden> !roll 1d10+30 (method caster, so normal casting gets +3)
 <Magic_Dice> Aiden, (method caster, so normal casting gets +3):  34 :4+30
 <Baruch> I'll spont two versions of Wizard's sidestep on me before trying to snatch some moss: one for the visuals and another for the smell
 * Dirk touch the horn to get a gues of its age (Eye of the Eons at touch range)
 <CJ> OK, best roll both of those then :)
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+19
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  27 :8+19
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+19
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  21 :2+19
 <CJ> OK Dirk, it is odd. You don't get any feeling of age from it - like it is was made very recently
 <Baruch> (Both go off, I'm down 2 fatigue)
 <CJ> OK Baruch, at this point you see a HUGE eye looking at you, and  amass of black wild hair!
 <CJ> A TROLL!
 <Dirk> "Hmm this thing must be made short bevore you found it! So I wouldnt trust it"
 <CJ> iT has just looked out the cave, but obviously sees and smeels you as not being exactly where you are!
 <CJ> But it is all there is betwen yoiu and mosse Tail moss!
 <CJ> Moose Tail Moss even!
 <Baruch> Hm. Do I have anywhere to land that isn't on the ledge itself?
 <Momo> "Oh well. Blow it."
 <Dirk> "No I wont!"
 <CJ> The moss hangs over the cave entrance, you could land on the moss, or on the rockface above the cave?
 <Baruch> Would I be out of reach of the troll?
 <Dirk> "Look for someone else who risk his live on such a feary thing"
 <CJ> Probably not. It has very long arms!
 <CJ> Aiden you still about? :)
 <Aiden> (I already rolled. :))
 <Baruch> I'll try to put it to sleep using the call to slumber - I have it formulaic
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+21 (shouting and waving included, against level 10)

 <CJ> Almost! :)
 <CJ> But nope still awake!
 <CJ> It grabs at you
 <CJ> !roll 1d10-9
 <Magic_Dice> CJ:  -4 :5-9
 <Baruch> I'm flying, though, but maybe I got too close
 <CJ> Yep, the huge hairy arm misses you. You notice the troll only has a thumb and three fingers!
 <Baruch> Is it standing on the ledge now? So out of the cave?
 <Calpurnia> How far away is this "combat"
 <CJ> Aiden, you are not being scryed upon. However you are able to see through the regio entrance to the next level where BAruch is in toruble - again!
 <Baruch> (I'll have to go in about 20min)
 <CJ> And then the Giant Beetle you heard approaching comes through the grass at you, pincers snapping as it looks for a dinner!
 <Dirk> "Momo can you find out why the forest is so scared?"
 <CJ> Same here
 <Aiden> (crap!)
 <CJ> CAlpurnia, tw level so regio away.
 <CJ> You can't see any of this
 <Calpurnia> okay
 <CJ> The beetle is coming for Aiden!
 <Baruch> (Is the troll on the ledge?)
 <CJ> Baruch, the troll is reaching out of the cave, knocking the moss backwards and forward
 <CJ> the moss forms a sort of curtain to the trolls lair!
 <Aiden> (I'm more of a anti-magic user. This is not good for me. :()
 <Baruch> Bah, I'll just try putting it to sleep again
 <Dirk> "Your the only talking animal I know and so maybe you know what made the forest this scared"
 <Calpurnia> "momo should we go find the rest of the group?"
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+21
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  23 :2+21
 <CJ> OK< Aiden what you going to do. It is about ot turn you in ot a snack!
 <Baruch> (God diggidi damn)
 <Dirk> "They are shrunken down when they entered the regio"
 <CJ> lol at Baruch!
 <CJ> so again, actions please :)
 <Aiden> (can I tell if this Is this a magical creature?)
 <Dirk> (can I still spot Aiden and realise he is in truble?)
 <CJ> It's not magical Aiden
 <CJ> JUst absokutely HUGE
 * Calpurnia heading towards ....everyone else
 <CJ> Dirk, with a Percpetion + econd Sight roll of 6+ sure
 <Dirk> !roll 1d10
 <Magic_Dice> Dirk: 5
 <CJ> Well Calpurnia is with Dirk and momo by the boat
 <Dirk> (no sadly not)
 <CJ> Nah, you can't see what is happeneing then :)
 <Aiden> (Ok, If my plan has no chance of working, I'm gonna run for the others!)
 <Calpurnia> I was ?
 <CJ> As far as I know, you were talking horns?
 <Calpurnia> I know I was most likely with Momo, but
 <Dirk> (Yes we where talking about the horn)
 <CJ> OK Aiden makes a dex + Athletics roll against my beetle
 <Aiden> (Would wind of mundane silence have any chance of reversing the effect of the shrinking?)

 <CJ> Both failed
 <CJ> The beetle failed better!
 <CJ> Aiden want to spend a point of confidence?
 <Aiden> (YES!)
 <CJ> OK< everyone but BAruch sees Aiden grow back to normal size as he rushes out, pursued by a tiny inch long stag beetle!
 <CJ> Baruch, back to you.
 <Baruch> Once it's my turn, I'll try putting the damn troll to sleep again, feeling like an idiot.
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+21
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  30 :9+21
 <CJ> OK, try again. If you fail the trolll will troll and find you
 <CJ> What the penetration on that?
 <Baruch> (ta-da! penetration 21)
 <Baruch> (Will confidence it if not enough)
 <CJ> The troll yawns, grabs lazily, and rolls back in to his cave
 <CJ> You hear snoring!
 <Baruch> Ok, I'll go grab as much of the moss as I can bring back
 <CJ> So no one has blown the horn? :)
 <Aiden> (I sure haven't)
 <CJ> Baruch collects and armful of moss, and can make an INT + Finesse roll to fly out of th two regios while encumbered
 <Calpurnia> (I haven't, though just to do something I might if this continues)
 <CJ> :)
 <CJ> BAruch make a roll
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10+8
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  13 :5+8
 <Momo> (Let the troll blow it)
 <CJ> Cal, it si a very tempting horn!
 <CJ> Baruch flies out, with a tiny piece of moss on the arm of his jacket.
 <Calpurnia> ( Cal has some sense not to do it )
 <Calpurnia> (But my boredom is something you don't want to face)
 * Momo nag Calpurnia, "Come on Calpurnia, you know you want to. The horn has chosen you, blow it."
 <CJ> OK< you have all gathered by the boat. You have about half an inch of Moose Tail Moss. It's the right stuff, but not going to cure a city!
 <Dirk> (Bt CJ can you give me by time a estimidation of the covenant age as I will have used my Rote at the covenant also)
 <CJ> Ah, yes. About 3,000 years
 <Calpurnia> Makes a rude gesture at Momo, picks up horn and blows it.
 <CJ> There is a sudden deafening silence
 <Aiden> (just HAD to do it, didn't you?!)
 <CJ> Then a voice shouts something quite incomprehensible,, a tiny squeaky voice, from over by the bushes
 <CJ> It sounds - well odd
 <CJ> Momo, you got Faerie Speech as a virtue?
 <Momo> yes
 <CJ> Calpurnia, it sounds like where you got the horn from?
 <CJ> Momo the voice said in Trollish "so what si the message? Where is my letter?"
 * Momo translate the noise
 <CJ> It sounds very very tired, like someone just roused from sleep, and no bigger than you
 <Dirk> I use my rote Wisper of Natures Secret on the moos (give me all mundane secrets but no penetration)
 <CJ> You all here annoyed squeaky muttering
 <Calpurnia> "Huh" blows it 2 times quickly and 1 more 5 secs later.
 <CJ> OK Dirk, you learn the attributes of the faierie herb
 <CJ> There is the soung of angry stomping feet
 <CJ> Something is approaching
 <CJ> Soemthing small, perhaps cat sized
 <Dirk> (Is it what we looking for?)
 <CJ> the grass rustles
 <CJ> (It s what you are looking for!)
 <CJ> Anyone doing anything?
 <CJ> (you have a sample of it now!)
 <Dirk> I use then when it is sure that is the moos we are looking for Hunt for the Wild Herb so I can smell more
 <Aiden> (I'm stomping on that beatle.)
 <Momo> "Something is there, minion, go get it."
 <Calpurnia> "Yes minion go get it"
 <CJ> Ah with the spell you find ther eis plenty more all over the mountain. Roll to cast the spell though!
 <CJ> Aiden crusges his enemy the bettle. It was an unfair battle
 <Dirk> (No roll its one of my rote ^^)
 <CJ> A small irate and very tired looking troll is glaring at Calpurnia
 <Dirk> (I love them as someone who cant cast stress free ^^)
 <CJ> He is six inclkes high, wears an ornage jacket and green trousers
 <Calpurnia> Stares back at the troll
 <Dirk> (err cant cast stress free spontan)
 <CJ> He has a shock of wild black hiar, big brown eyes and snub nose
 <CJ> He seems quite annoyed, and keep syawning!
 <Momo> "It's looking for you, don't leave him hanging."
 <Baruch> "Could someone ask him what he wants?"
 <CJ> The Troll shouts in Trollish (Momo: the little man who stole my moss!") he points at Baruch!
 <Momo> "Baruch, the Troll say you stole his moss."
 <CJ> Troll to BAruch in Latin "how you get so big now?!!"
 <CJ> "I saw you flying around like a bug outside my cave!"
 <CJ> Dirk, you have cast your rote and can start gathering moss, easier with boat though, you can just fly ot hwere it is
 <CJ> I need to wrap up very soon btw guys - sorry
 <Dirk> "OK people I think I can find more of this but we need to use the boat to fly there"
 <Baruch> "Ah, yes. We needed some of your moss. Sorry for the interruption, we will be off now."
 <Baruch> "Hope it wasn't too much of an inconvenience."
 <Momo> "bye bye"
 <CJ> lol!
 <Baruch> "Let us go get some more, then."
 * Baruch gets on the boat
 <CJ> You are simply leaving the annoyed troll?
 <Momo> Nah, calpurnia should wrestle it
 <CJ> Baruch, make a Pre + Etiquette roll!
 <Baruch> (Don't see what we might do with him :)
 <CJ> It's only six inches high
 <Momo> (Take him home and guard your lab, calpurnia :) ))
 * Dirk use his walkingstick to break the circle as soon we lift of
 <Baruch> !roll 1d10-1
 <CJ> and has just noticed to it's tiny fury that Calpurnia has it's post horn!
 <Magic_Dice> Baruch:  4 :5-1
 <CJ> The troll shouts insults at Baruch!
 <Calpurnia> "Why did you leave this out in the open?"
 <Momo> (like how people leave their postbox out in the open?)
 <CJ> Calpurnia, the trool replies crossly "it's my post horn! woudl not be much use in my cave would it!"
 <Momo> "What would it be much use outside of your cave anyway?"
 <Calpurnia> "However by doing that you should be ready that someone might happen upon it."
 <CJ> Yes, and that person should then give me the message they brought!
 <CJ> That si the purpose of post horns, stoopid humanz!
 <CJ> The Troll has his arms folded, and is glaring at Calpurnia
 <Aiden> "Now Now!"
 <CJ> He sees ot regard Momo with slight fear
 <Calpurnia> "So what typically happens now?"
 <Momo> "Give him back his horn?"
 <Momo> "Or something better than horn?"
 <CJ> Baruch, you want to wait for them to finsih dealing witth the troll, or you just flying off?
 <Baruch> I'll wait :)
 <Dirk> "Just give him back his horn"
 <Momo> "We want to trade calpurnia for it?"
 <CJ> Aiden, you are not sure if this troll is as little a risk as he looks. You think he may be small, but powerful
 * Momo raise paw
 <Calpurnia> Look annoyed at Dirk
 <CJ> YOu know something of trolls
 <CJ> The Troll looks at Calpurnia.
 <Calpurnia> Looks at Troll
 <CJ> "I accept your deal oh King of Cats" he says. "I shall have the girl, and oyu may have my post horn"
 <Calpurnia> Shame I'm holding it Troll
 <Baruch> "It's his horn, isn't it. Wouldn't be very nice of you to take it."
 <CJ> "I will accept the girl" say st the troll
 <CJ> You may keep my post horn.
 <Dirk> (Oh my this is realy on of the typical feary deals Momo just asked for !!!!!!)
 <Momo> "Excellece, but the girl is now part of the horn, so you own her soul, but we own her body."
 <CJ> "I have no time for souls!" says the troll. "You can't eat souls!"
 <Momo> "Well too bad."
 <CJ> "you made the deal. Give me the girl."
 <Momo> "Calpurnia, give him your soul."
 <Dirk> (And this all just becaus Cal didnt want to give the Trol back what is his)
 <Baruch> (I have to go, unfortunately. Thanks for tonight, everyone! Any confidence or xp?)
 * Aiden is too flustered to intervene in this boondoggle.
 <CJ> "Is she part-trollish? She looks like my great Aunt Ingrid.  It's the warts" the troll observes
 <Calpurnia> "He has no use of my Soul as he said so you can't trade my soul for the horn as it isn't a equal trade"
 <CJ> Yes will award confidence and xp on the forum
 * Calpurnia twitches angryly at trolls remark
 <Baruch> (ok)
 <CJ> "she does look rather trollish!"
 |<-- Baruch has left irc.synirc.net (Quit: )
 <Momo> "Possible."
 <Dirk> "Calpurina its realy the best you dont anger a Feary as you would break our Laws!"
 <Momo> "You sure you want your great aunt ingrid with you?"
 <Calpurnia> "Ahh but there is the fact I can defend myself."
 <CJ> "well you can be off now, just leave me th gilr and be off with you!"
 <CJ> "Great unt Ingrid? Goodness no. She is a great one for knitting. Horrible slimy stuff knitting."
 <CJ> "never could hold with all that knitting."
 * Momo whisper, "well good luck calpurnia, hope you escape later."
 * Momo start going back to the boat
 <CJ> "She knitted me a jumper once. I fed it to the fishes."
 <Calpurnia> Whispers at Momo "You do realize I'm not going to pet you anymore"
 <CJ> BAruch watches Momo climb in the boat!
 <Momo> "Lady, you can't resist me."
 * Calpurnia I climb upon the boat with the horn
 <CJ> The Troll looks up at Calpurnia, and offers her a hand
 <Dirk> "So you realy want to stay here Calpurina? Then it was nice the meet you and good luck!"
 * Calpurnia eye twitches
 <Momo> "Happy... union!"
 <CJ> "This way Ma'am!" he says. "Why I am sure youmust be part-troll with a nose like that!"

 * Calpurnia turns very slowly at Group "I will have my revenge" tosses horn to the front of Momo and gets off boat and doesn't take the trolls hand
 <CJ> "She can be the maidervant of I the Mountain-King!" says the troll
 <CJ> OK dudes, what you doing?
 <Momo> "We will see you later, Cal. Maybe tonight?" *wink* *wink*
 <CJ> The troll looks at Calpurnia appraisingly, and says "She is a TROLL! SHE IS A TROLL! SHE IS AN ICE QUEEN!"
 <Dirk> "Why have Momo this might over you Calpurnia?"
 <CJ> He jumps up and down excitedly!
 <CJ> She is the Ice Queen!
 <CJ> The Snow Queen!
 <Calpurnia> "He doesn't I just want the Horn when I get back"
 <Momo> "All hail, Ice Troll Queen!"
 <CJ> The Troll is dancing around. Have you ever seen a troll dance? If you haven't you should eb grateful. It is not  apretty sight
 * Calpurnia glares with a thing of the coldest fire.
 <CJ> Baruch looks at everyone. "Er are we leaving then?"
 <Aiden> "I...."
 <Momo> "Yes Barcuh, unless you want to kidnap a queen."
 <Dirk> "I cant understand you! But if you wish so we will take a leave and gater why we made the trip!"
 <CJ> "The wartiest ugliets plainest and most frigid of all, all hail Calpurnia the ice Queen!" shouts the troll.
 <Calpurnia> (Oh this is going to lead to this creatures death)
 <CJ> The fish somehow look embarrassed. That is not easy for fish, even faerie fish
 <Momo> (Don't break the law)
 <Calpurnia> (Screw the law, I have been betrayed)
 <Dirk> "Lets fly bevore I lose my concentration"
 <Momo> "I would like to remind both parties not to break any law in the meantime."
 <Momo> "Be good citizen of the world."
 <Calpurnia> "of course"
 <CJ> OK, you zoom off!
 <Aiden> whispers to baruch. "I don't think it's a good idea to pick a fight with this troll."
 <Momo> "We will be baaack, probably!"
 <CJ> ;)
 <Aiden> "You're getting declawed, momo!"
 <CJ> And as you fly off leaving Calpurnia i must leave it there for toidaym, cos i have to go
 <Dirk> (Me shake his had about such strange behaviour)
 <Momo> "You might gets to like him someday."
 <Calpurnia> Bye CJ
 <CJ> I'll sort stufff out with Cal over the bnext few days
 <CJ> TEveryone ok with the session?
 <Dirk> cu CJ see you next week?
 <Calpurnia> Should be
 <CJ> yes I'll be here next week
 <Aiden> I know what I need to work on. anyway.
 |<-- Aiden has left irc.synirc.net
 <CJ> Hopeeveryone but Calpurnia enjoyed it
 |<-- Magic_Dice has left irc.synirc.net (Client exited)
 <CJ> Take care all
 <Calpurnia> You too
 <Gustbran> later.
 <Momo> take care
 <Dirk> I wish every on a nice day, and cu
 |<-- CJ has left irc.synirc.net
 =-= YOU are now known as Nyaa
 |<-- Gustbran has left irc.synirc.net (Quit: )
 |<-- Dirk has left irc.synirc.net (Quit: )
 <Calpurnia> Well this was interesting
 <Nyaa> should be an interesting tale
 <Nyaa> you now are part of a fairie tale
 <Nyaa> probably the main protagonist
 <Calpurnia> Oh it will, there are three things that may happen, 1 she stays and plots revenge, 2 she returns after killing the troll, 3 she kills the troll and plots revenge on party.
 <Nyaa> 4. Falls in love with troll, happily ever after
 <Nyaa> bring home troll husband
 <Calpurnia> Hell no, and that would be 1 as she would want to protect her new home then
 <Nyaa> or convince the troll to live at covenant
 <Calpurnia> Possible but unlikely we will see.
 <Nyaa> we will see
 <Calpurnia> Also there is one thing
 <Calpurnia> I made Calpurnia so she would have instances where it is possible for things to come out of no where and help her. Mainly her backstory. But of course these things are infernal align.
 <Nyaa> sounds good
 <Calpurnia> Heheheh to put it simply you remember back at devils chimney?
 <Nyaa> ohh
 <Calpurnia> I wasn't possessed.
 <Nyaa> that explains all the botch
 <Nyaa> also I thought we discuss on pm not to call faries a faries >:(
 <Calpurnia> Ahh but thats with Corbenik,hehehehhe
 <Nyaa> so that's what happen when you call faries a faries, you get drag into a faries tale :D
 <Nyaa> SEE WHAT YOU DONE?
 <Calpurnia> Lol
 <Nyaa> It's faries retribution!
 <Calpurnia> Well I will certainly make this a traditional faerie tale, one that truely is darker than most.
 <Nyaa> s/m kind of dark
 <Calpurnia> Remember most Faerie tales are very dark, snow white ugh, alice in wonderland dear god.
 <Nyaa> In 2013, Disney Land would be a Aura 20 Fairy kingdom
 <Calpurnia> It's Disney who made most fairy tales all goody and stuff, most are disturbing in some way shape or form. Hell even Disney
 <Nyaa> and lot of secret sex joke jamming in between the scenes
 <Calpurnia> heheheh anyway the Revenge of the Ice Queen will premere someday when, well we will see.
 <Calpurnia> Oh yeah did we comeout with a name for the session?
 <Nyaa> maybe a prince will rescue you
 <Nyaa> like all fairie tale
 <Nyaa> you are like a princess situation now
 <Calpurnia> and rape me, then yes your right
 <Calpurnia> :P
 <Nyaa> hope you never sleep
 <Calpurnia> Princess Ice, now Queen Ice (theoretically in the Trolls mind)
 <Nyaa> just spread the tale and princes from all country will come for you
 <Calpurnia> Anyway this is a important line
 <Calpurnia> Calpurnia	turns very slowly at Group "I will have my revenge" tosses horn to the front of Momo and gets off boat and doesn't take the trolls hand
 <Nyaa> k
