<Skeleton> What the
<Skeleton> Where'd ark go
<Moonside> He said he was going to work somewhere, so we could go without him.
<Skeleton> Oh, icy
<Skeleton> Shall we go
<Deathfish64> maybe
<Deathfish64> flib?
<~flibbyjibbits> oh idunno
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess ill make something to eat for now and sure why not
<~flibbyjibbits> i forget wehre we left off but people who are here can figure that out while i do that
<Skeleton> We are at a cushy library-turned-inn eatin landshark filet mignon
<Deathfish64> We were staying in the library after killing and eating a landshark
<~flibbyjibbits> alright and then what does anyone want to do
<Skeleton> I guess Freddie, Pikkup, Raynar and Tombs are still out of the room, all but Tombs talking about the prospect of a gun with a little artistic devil inside
<Deathfish64> sit
<Eltrotraw> huh what
<Deathfish64> We weren't really in the middle of anything actually important when we left off
<~flibbyjibbits> well eltro wasnt here last week because he had to try to finish an important thing so he missed all that
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess maybe someone should recap for him
<~flibbyjibbits> unless that was adequate already
<~flibbyjibbits> brb water boiling
<Deathfish64> Okay
<Skeleton> We made it to a little crappy town
<Skeleton> And ate at a little crappy restaurant
<Skeleton> And then a SHARK came out of the ground and destroyed the restaurant
<Skeleton> Freddie killed it with lightningbolts (while drunk) and the others helped (Lotte was also drunk)
<Deathfish64> Specifically the town is nitom, if you look at the map
<~flibbyjibbits> cant find my bag of spoons dammit
<Eltrotraw> was it gnawesome
<~flibbyjibbits> no it was a bulette
<Moonside> Ok I'm here.
<Eltrotraw> so it wasn't gnawesome
<Skeleton> The townspeople were all like "oh neat" and some Order rangers offered us a place to stay and transportation
<CommodoreJim> And it had claws an' shit
<Deathfish64> Anyway, after we killed the landshark some order ranger dude walked up and said we were pretty bad dudes and he'd give us rooms and let us ride his sweet boat
<Moonside> http://pastebin.com/mgV4bzLp
<Deathfish64> but we're probably gonna have to do something for him later
<Deathfish64> Maybe he thinks we're bad enough dudes to rescue the president!
<CommodoreJim> aren't we, though
<Skeleton> Lotte and Freddie squabbled some, everyone ate the best cut of the shark, Drom and Lotte kicked the party out whilst they talked about how to invent a camera, and got it on
<~flibbyjibbits> no you arent the king died with you guys right there
<Deathfish64> We were much less bad then though
<Deathfish64> In fact we were pretty weak
<Skeleton> (especially drom)
<Skeleton> (ohhhhhhh snap)
<Deathfish64> Current us could kill old us in one round I bet
<~flibbyjibbits> yeah probly
<~flibbyjibbits> probably even just freddie or tombs could if everyone bunched together and he used a scattershot
<CommodoreJim> How many gnomes could current Drom explode
<CommodoreJim> The answer is zero
<CommodoreJim> Because fuckin' bitdroid
<Skeleton> negative 1
<CommodoreJim> If it could figure out how to roll zeroes, it would
<Skeleton> You swing your axe and little gnomes just phase in from other worlds
<Skeleton> In its wake
<~flibbyjibbits> would you prefer i use my own dice
<Moonside> I think it was being just as bad.
<CommodoreJim> I think we just have terrible luck
<Eltrotraw> so we're on a boat then
<Eltrotraw> (another one)
<Deathfish64> not yet
<Deathfish64> We're at the library
<Deathfish64> history section
<Deathfish64> g-l?
<CommodoreJim> the libraryhotel
<~flibbyjibbits> i think so
<Deathfish64> or rather, I think most of us were still out giving the lovebirds privacy
<~flibbyjibbits> also related to what some people were doing there i discovered today that the pfsrd does in fact have birth control in it, 1g per use in snorting powder form
<Moonside> Does it work retroactively?
<CommodoreJim> Huh.
<~flibbyjibbits> no
<Moonside> Well, then.
<Skeleton> wow.
<~flibbyjibbits> but there is a tea also listed that the wmoan can drink every day for a few weeks afterwards
<CommodoreJim> ...Huh.
<Eltrotraw> so wait what was this about tombs talking to a gun guy
<Deathfish64> no I don't think that happened
<Moonside> Oh, the other people in the party were trying to invent a camera, and one of the ideas was a gun that summoned a little artist devil when fired.
<~flibbyjibbits> was there anything the rest of the party wanted to do outside of the hotel, look around, or anything
<Deathfish64> Roam around town I think
<Deathfish64> idk
<Deathfish64> Look for some way to kill time
<CommodoreJim> and then a COOL MONSTER appeared
<Deathfish64> that already happened once
<CommodoreJim> are there ever enough cool monsters
<Deathfish64> no
<~flibbyjibbits> theres another one of those goddamn fucking chain potion shops with extra racial stereotypes this time
<CommodoreJim> wow, extra racist
<Deathfish64> We should probably buy some
<Deathfish64> We have a healer but what if he goes down?
<Skeleton> His ghost can heal his corpse
<~flibbyjibbits> since this place is as far from the moldath border as is possible for any stable structure to be the owners of this particular branch of it thought it prudent to really double down on the dwarven and kobold racism, and evne opened a little theme restaurant nextdoor
<~flibbyjibbits> the food there is probably really, really awful
<CommodoreJim> Wow.
<~flibbyjibbits> bet comparison i can think og is like uh
<~flibbyjibbits> the redskins sports team
<CommodoreJim> Oh yeah, that's pretty bad
<~flibbyjibbits> isnt their mascot like wahoo the injun or something
<~flibbyjibbits> anyways
<~flibbyjibbits> i digress
<~flibbyjibbits> this place is charging 20 gold per dice of healing and have a sign that says ask us about our curse removal, but that isn't really relevant
<Skeleton> My baby won't stop swearing. Please help.
<~flibbyjibbits> ?
<Moonside> It's a curse.
<~flibbyjibbits> o
<Skeleton> hahaha
<Moonside> Are we still injured from the shark?
<~flibbyjibbits> yeah probably
<Moonside> Oh. I don't know how much, though, because I reset my current HP.
<~flibbyjibbits> oh well
<Deathfish64> silly drunks getting injured
<CommodoreJim> http://sanfranciscoba.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/indian-wp-1.jpg Clevland Indians also have a bad mascot /late
<~flibbyjibbits> i beleive i mentioned before the composition of the town, so its mostly sad looking elves who were running away from horrible things and people who want to be adventurers getting in fights and stuff
<~flibbyjibbits> and some of those sailors from the order of nethu who are on leave for the next 2 days
<Moonside> So Lotte and Drom are done now, probably.
<CommodoreJim> Yeah they had finished
<~flibbyjibbits> as a reminder the deal with that dude was that you guys could get on the boat in the morning in 2 days, and its i guess late afternoon/early evening now so you got all tomorow free to do whatever
<Moonside> Not that there's much to do in a shitty town like this.
<Deathfish64> Well, I'll not buy any potions for now and then we can rest until tomorrow
<Deathfish64> unless someone wanted to do something before then
<Deathfish64> brb
<Deathfish64> (also I finally added up my money)
<~flibbyjibbits> anyone else have anything or just move to next day
<Moonside> Not really.
<Skeleton> nope
<CommodoreJim> DAWN OF THE SECOND DAY
<CommodoreJim> (in this shitty town)
<~flibbyjibbits> at about noon theres a public hanging going on for one reason or another, but nothing else of note different from yesterday.  you can see it from the balcony in the room if you so pleased.  there was also some shaking that implies another bulette attack happened somewhere else in town
<Moonside> Who was being hanged?
<CommodoreJim> maybe one of the adventurers who didn't help us yesterday
<CommodoreJim> douchebag
<~flibbyjibbits> looks like two elfs and a human, the human had previously been wearing that same blue dyed leather armor standard for the order, but it got tossed on a fire in front of the gallows
<Skeleton> wonder what they did
<CommodoreJim> urmom
<CommodoreJim> OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
<Skeleton> oh
<Deathfish64> where you at
<~flibbyjibbits> if nobody has anything to do before evening
<Deathfish64> anyway Pikkup finds public executions to be distasteful
<Deathfish64> but yeah, nothing to do eally
<~flibbyjibbits> (assuming you guys just ate at wheerever and it wasnt notable unless you went to the potion shop to eat in which case it was pretty bad imitations of the food you had when you were in moldath)
<~flibbyjibbits> a dish made of 4 types of the same kind of mushroom, but the wrong kind
<Deathfish64> (I don't think we would go there)
<CommodoreJim> No definitely not
<~flibbyjibbits> do those stroes use magic to make all their clerks look like the same bored teenagers at every location
<CommodoreJim> Probably!
<~flibbyjibbits> anyways about at sundown another one of them order rangers comes up to the door of the hotel room
<~flibbyjibbits> idunno if everyones there or maybe some people are wandering around town or what
<Skeleton> McCauldron's
<CommodoreJim> I'm probably still in the room reading HELMETS THROUGH THE AGES VOLUME II
<Moonside> Lotte is probably reading that book about books.
<~flibbyjibbits> history of this library
<~flibbyjibbits> well anyways the guy, who is not the same one you spoke to before, knocks on the door
<Skeleton> Freddie moves on to How I Convinced My Family To Let Me Marry And Secretly Study A Demon From Hell, by Gordon Gordons
<CommodoreJim> Who will answer the door
<Deathfish64> sounds like a good book
<CommodoreJim> I got it last time
<~flibbyjibbits> pikkups favorite book
<Moonside> Lotte sees that no one's answering the door, so she answers it after putting her book down and sighing.
<Skeleton> Why not just use your hair
<Deathfish64> Pikkup would be trying to sketch the shark better
<Skeleton> It's long enough?
<Deathfish64> !roll 1 20 sketching
<bitdroid`> [Deathfish64 - 1d20(sketching)] <11> <11> <Total: 11>
<Deathfish64> slightly better than the last attempt
<Moonside> Or that, yeah.
<~flibbyjibbits> "Just here to remind you that we're leaving just after sunrise, so be up early and down by the docks.  "
<Moonside> "Ok." I close the door.
<~flibbyjibbits> he probably shrugged at the abruptness and then walked back to his own room
<~flibbyjibbits> or to the boat or whatever
<~flibbyjibbits> who cares
<CommodoreJim> He walked to the sun
<CommodoreJim> Drom is not looking forward to boat rides.
<Eltrotraw> can tombs look around for guns or some sort
<Deathfish64> guns and accessories
<~flibbyjibbits> theres probably a gun store
<~flibbyjibbits> theyre pretty rare and this town likes to overcharge on everything but you can find the store
<CommodoreJim> Strickland Guns
<Moonside> If he says this out loud, Lotte will decide to go with him.
<Skeleton> Gun Paradise: A Utopia... For People Who Enjoy Shooting Other People
<CommodoreJim> Drom secretly feels inadequate compared to guns
<Eltrotraw> he's just going to scowl on his own over there
<CommodoreJim> Tombs doesn't open doors. He scowls at them and they open themselves
<~flibbyjibbits> the store there has any nonmagical gun at about listed price in varying degrees of quality
<Eltrotraw> basically too much money
<CommodoreJim> buy the BFG from doom
<CommodoreJim> do it
<Eltrotraw> he's going to window shop at least
<Moonside> How're the muskets?
<Eltrotraw> it would be over 9000 gold XDDDDDDdddddddddd
<~flibbyjibbits> theres a streetcorner vendor advertising his new concoction of special antidragon ammunition
<~flibbyjibbits> lot of people are buying it
<Deathfish64> buy an AK-47
<Moonside> Also, does that include advanced firearms?
<~flibbyjibbits> advanced firearms are at 10% markup
<~flibbyjibbits> since nobody really knows how to make guns in this world and they all drop from other timelines
<Moonside> Lotte looks at them like a hungry man looks at delicious food.
<Skeleton> But Tombs didn't announce where he was going
<Moonside> Then let's say that Lotte decided to go with him for no reason because that book she was reading was actually shit.
<Eltrotraw> so how much would a shotgun be worth
<~flibbyjibbits> shotguns are listed a 5k in the srd and avdanced are 10% markup so 5500 gold
<~flibbyjibbits> they also sell the special ammunitions
<Moonside> That seems like a ridiculous price for something that does the same damage as a blunderbuss.
<Moonside> Not to mention rifles doing LESS damage than muskets.
<~flibbyjibbits> i dont understand guns at all i just read what it says
<Deathfish64> How much is it for a rocket launcher?
<CommodoreJim> Drom could use a rocket launcher, for rocket jumping purposes....
<~flibbyjibbits> no idea
<~flibbyjibbits> they also sell the oil of silence for "only" 200 which is relatively good
<CommodoreJim> discount lube
<Eltrotraw> silence for what
<~flibbyjibbits> makes guns quiet
<~flibbyjibbits> like completely silenct
<~flibbyjibbits> instead of near deafening like usual
<Skeleton> magic!
<Moonside> Lotte takes out her pistol, which she hasn't used in a while.
<Moonside> She just looks at it for a while.
<Eltrotraw> how much of the oil would be consumed per use?
<~flibbyjibbits> 5 uses lasting an hour each time
<~flibbyjibbits> or one use on a cannon
<Moonside> That's pretty good.
<~flibbyjibbits> if for some reason you were around a cannon
<~flibbyjibbits> and neeed it to be quite
<Moonside> So I guess nothing happens.
<~flibbyjibbits> guess not
<CommodoreJim> A nice, boring day after a long while of shitty shit
<~flibbyjibbits> that guy who was standing outside selling homemade special ammunition packs up his stuff and leaves
<~flibbyjibbits> he probably exploded later
<~flibbyjibbits> well then
<Moonside> Dawn of the FINAL DAY
<Deathfish64> Let us go to boat
<~flibbyjibbits> gonna head to the boat or ditch those losers?
<Deathfish64> while I brb again
<Moonside> Let's go boating.
<CommodoreJim> Drom reluctantly follows everyone to the boat.
<Moonside> "Are you going to be alright, Drom?", I ask him on the way there.
<CommodoreJim> "Hm? Oh, uh...Yes? Probably. It's...just a boat ride."
<Skeleton> "This reminds me of fishing trips"
<Moonside> I look a bit skeptical about this, but decide to let it go.
<~flibbyjibbits> its a pretty big boat
<Skeleton> "Anybody else like fishing? Maybe we should go fishing sometime. Let's go fishing."
<~flibbyjibbits> it seemed to be carrying equal parts cargo and soldiers, though several are absent
<CommodoreJim> Does it look well built or is it shoddy and rickety
<~flibbyjibbits> it is seaworthy
<CommodoreJim> Drom looks slightly relieved.
<~flibbyjibbits> melange can go too
<~flibbyjibbits> i dont know how horses are stored on boats
<CommodoreJim> Melange just goes wherever the hell she wantas
<~flibbyjibbits> but i assume that there is a way for that to happen based on history
<Deathfish64> I think they just sorta stay below deck
<Deathfish64> and don't get to wander around much
<~flibbyjibbits> "I'm sorry we don't have split up rooms here, but at the very least we can say theres an empty row of beds between where you can stay and the rest of the men"
<Moonside> Socrates actually also looks a bit aprehensive about going on a boat, but Lotte doesn't care.
<Skeleton> Warty Morty is all like 'sea air. mmmm. meh'
<Moonside> "Oh, uh... okay." I say to whoever said that.
<~flibbyjibbits> just some guy
<~flibbyjibbits> nobody important
<Eltrotraw> wait who is warty morty
<Moonside> Frog.
<Skeleton> Freddie's toad
<CommodoreJim> freddie's mushroom retainer
<~flibbyjibbits> they set off down the river pretty soon afterwards
<Skeleton> He gives Freddie fire flowers and stuff
<~flibbyjibbits> its a pretyt wide river
<~flibbyjibbits> like missisipi style not some kinda creek or shit
<Skeleton> *'river air
<CommodoreJim> Drom does not look excited about this one bit.
<~flibbyjibbits> looking at the map and i have no idea how fast boats go
<~flibbyjibbits> lets just say its like 3 days and then in the evening you can see the lights of sparona in the distince up ahead
<Deathfish64> who needs a map
<~flibbyjibbits> theres food and some people are playing card games but nothing interesting since its rainy and shitty
<Skeleton> Let's mutiny and commandeer the boat!
<Moonside> During this time, I train using my hair by moving it to make Socrates play with it.
<Skeleton> During this time I add those dang scrolls to my spell list
<CommodoreJim> Drom looks way too relieved to be close to land again. He exhales as if he had been holding his breath the entire trip.
<Skeleton> Mad Monkeys and what was the sun arrow one?
<~flibbyjibbits> it was never properly named
<Skeleton> Then what, specifically, does it do, and what level
<~flibbyjibbits> level 2
<Moonside> Freddie will now proceed to spam Mad Monkeys on every encounter.
<~flibbyjibbits> the effects are a mystery
<Skeleton> Can I carelessly try it indoors?
<~flibbyjibbits> i wouldnt reccomend it
<Skeleton> Ohhhkaaaayyyy... :(
<Skeleton> "Dunno what it does but I think I will call it... Mystic Ray"
<~flibbyjibbits> it shoots arrows out of the caster (maybe a hand or that one guy who used it shot them out his mouth) that deal 1d8 per every step awya from lawful good the targets are in a 10 foot cone
<Moonside> Someone will shoot them out of their crotch.
<Skeleton> oh my
<CommodoreJim> oh my.
<Deathfish64> Pikkup probably spends a lot of time staring over the side of the boat
<~flibbyjibbits> pikkup at some point probably saw some kind of big thing in the water
<Eltrotraw> Wait, we're headed south or what
<Eltrotraw> OH SHIT MUST BE A KRAKEN
<Deathfish64> Which is exactly what he was hoping to see
<Skeleton> It's a kraken we're all doomed
<Eltrotraw> LET'S SHOOT IT
<~flibbyjibbits> theres no such thing as river krakens
<CommodoreJim> please just be a kelpie
<Deathfish64> Any more specific details then "big thing"
<Skeleton> It's Bowser
<Moonside> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd8gwYJA6Y4 Boss music.
<~flibbyjibbits> its a river wyvern but it isnt interested in the boat and doesnt attack unless he provokes it
<Deathfish64> Nah
<Skeleton> I'd better fight it. Warty Morty, give me a Fire Flower or a Penguin Suit
<Deathfish64> He'd probably go over to the nearest party member and be all like "Guess what I just saw!"
<Moonside> "A sea monster."
<CommodoreJim> Drom probably sat below deck all trip
<Deathfish64> "No, you dumby there are no sea monsters in a river."
<~flibbyjibbits> as of the present its night time and the city is visible in the far distance, might get there by morning
<Moonside> "A river monster, then."
<Deathfish64> "Much better, and yes."
<Moonside> "Ok." Lotte seems uninterested in river monsters.
<Deathfish64> "You're no fun anymo-... Wait, you've never really been fun."
<Skeleton> "Ohhhh snap"
<Moonside> "Ok." Lotte seems uninterested in Pikkup's observations.
<Deathfish64> Pikkup sighs and returns to what he was doing
<Deathfish64> or maybe just goes to rest since it is nighttime
<Eltrotraw> THEN UNEVENTFUL HAPS
<~flibbyjibbits> move to morning?
<Moonside> Sure.
<Deathfish64> sure why not
<~flibbyjibbits> in the morning
<Deathfish64> We're on a boat, there isn't much to do and nowhere to go
<~flibbyjibbits> anyone who goes up to the deck will notice that you have not docked in the city
<~flibbyjibbits> but now it is in the other direction and you are moving away from it, farther southeast
<Deathfish64> oh
<Skeleton> "Row row row your boat, gently down the stream, merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream"
<CommodoreJim> oh no.
<CommodoreJim> Drom is unaware of this but oh no
<Moonside> Lotte seems to want to get to land quickly, but not because she's scared of boating.
<Eltrotraw> then why ;3
<Deathfish64> Pikkup seems a bit disappointed but not overly so
<Skeleton> "What do boats and the theory that the universe doesn't exist have in common"
<~flibbyjibbits> some of the cargo seems to have been unloaded and some of the soldiers and other passenegrs left but youre still going
<Deathfish64> "I don't know Freddie, what do they have in common?"
<Skeleton> "I just asked that"
<Deathfish64> "Oh, I was expecting a punchline."
<Skeleton> "Maybe we are the punchline and the guy who made up that song is the only one who gets it"
<CommodoreJim> Drom isn't scared of boating, per se, he's scared of being over bodies of water :Y
<CommodoreJim> if there were land boats he'd be fine
<Moonside> Drom is a vampire!
<CommodoreJim> dark secrets revealed
<Deathfish64> Drom ate a magic fruit that gave him the power to chunk gnomes at the cost of losing the ability to swim
<~flibbyjibbits> any other reactions to this shocking development or what
<CommodoreJim> Drom'
<Skeleton> Were we supposed to be getting off there
<CommodoreJim> s not leaving from below deck, but
<Eltrotraw> Can Tombs confront a crew member or is this not our desination
<CommodoreJim> If he knew he'd freak out
<~flibbyjibbits> that is what you had been told
<~flibbyjibbits> tombs can find a crewmember and ask it yes
<CommodoreJim> can he THREATEN the crewmember
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess he could
<Skeleton> Can he SERENADE the crewmember
<~flibbyjibbits> probably not
<Deathfish64> Can he SEDUCE the crewmember
<~flibbyjibbits> maybe?
<Eltrotraw> but was this our destination?
<CommodoreJim> they told us it was
<Deathfish64> Pikkup probably can, look at the charisma!  However, Pikkup is not even remotely interested
<Skeleton> Can he DEFENESTRATE the crewmember
<~flibbyjibbits> he could i guess
<Eltrotraw> So let's confront a crew member
<Eltrotraw> "Why are we still going on?" we'll have him ask
<~flibbyjibbits> "Oh, uh, know what"
<Eltrotraw> "Wasn't that our stop just back there?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "Can you gather up your team and head over to that private office type place by the back of the boat, someone wanted to talk to you all about that."
<Moonside> ...
<Eltrotraw> Tombs attempted bonding time with the team
<Eltrotraw> Let's have him visit Drom
<Eltrotraw> "Hey Kongol, are you feeling SEASICK"
<CommodoreJim> hahaha
<Eltrotraw> Either way, let's have Tombs round up everyone
<Eltrotraw> not unless it's going to be an overdrawn event of Tombs gathering everyone one by one
<CommodoreJim> Drom reluctantly comes above deck.
<Moonside> Lotte goes to the place with everyone else, and she seems a bit annoyed for some reason.
<Deathfish64> Pikkup gathers up, confused
<Eltrotraw> and we're missing Freddie
<Skeleton> Let'sa go
<Skeleton> Wahoo mamma mia
<Moonside> Freddie is actually Charles Martinet.
* bitdroid` is now known as bitdroid
<Moonside> So we're all at the private office type place by the back of the boat.
<Eltrotraw> So avoiding any wacky hijinks among party members(unless flib wanted that) then we're all gathered at the office
<Eltrotraw> I'm going to snark at Freddie for being late at least
<~flibbyjibbits> the door is open and theres a table with some seets but nobody inside
<Skeleton> it's a trap
<Eltrotraw> load the gun
<Deathfish64> summon the eidolon
<Skeleton> "Did somebody throw the cap'n overboard"
<Moonside> !roll 1 20 +14 perception check on the room
<bitdroid> [Moonside - 1d20(+14)] <31> <17> <Total: 31>
<~flibbyjibbits> the room is fairly basic, theres the table and chairs, a couple of chests, a bookshelf, and another door on the other side
<Moonside> I walk in.
<Deathfish64> check the bookshelf for secret passageways
<~flibbyjibbits> the room is walked in to
<~flibbyjibbits> its a boat
<Deathfish64> wait where would you fit one in a boat
<Eltrotraw> it depends on how big the boat is
<Deathfish64> magic
<~flibbyjibbits> i guess there could be a panel that swings into like the cargo hold
<~flibbyjibbits> but there isnt
<Moonside> Hell, if someone's Stealth roll is over 31, then we probably deserve to be caught in a trap.
<~flibbyjibbits> just books
<~flibbyjibbits> mostly maps and reference books and records
<Skeleton> "Ahoy? Cap'n? Where are you"
<Eltrotraw> "Yo! Who's even here? Y'told us to come here, come out!"
<Skeleton> "arr?"
<Moonside> How's the other door?
<CommodoreJim> "..."
<~flibbyjibbits> its not locked but it just opens into a staircase going up
<Moonside> I go up the stairs.
<Deathfish64> I will too
<Skeleton> Okay
<~flibbyjibbits> the door at the top of the stairs is locked
<Skeleton> well too bad I am not going down so you two will just have to spend the rest of vour lives partway up a staircase
<Moonside> I knock on it.
<~flibbyjibbits> it just opens onto the deck of the boat
<Moonside> Oh well.
<Moonside> I go down the stairs.
<Deathfish64> what a pointless excercise
<Eltrotraw> Are we going to bust down some doors?
<~flibbyjibbits> back in the little room down there
<Deathfish64> If necessary I will use Levitate on Freddie in order to walk back under him
<~flibbyjibbits> "Please, sit down, everyone"
<Skeleton> just kidding I I get off the stairs
<Skeleton> It's Skeleton Ghostworth, captain of the GHOST SHIP
<~flibbyjibbits> a ranger at the other door says, "Hes finishing up a card game, just wait a minute."
<CommodoreJim> Drom takes a seat, his posture showing that he's still really not feelin' great.
<Moonside> Lotte sits down, feeling a bit impatient.
<Eltrotraw> "So who's 'he'?"
<Skeleton> Freddie plants his magic butt in a chair
<Deathfish64> Pikkup sits down, and Ekans takes up a position next to him
<Deathfish64> I guess mostly upright?
<~flibbyjibbits> after a few minutes the door at the top of the stairs unlocks noisily as whoever it is fumbles with the key
<Deathfish64> Words like sitting and standing do not apply to wingsnakes
<~flibbyjibbits> the person who arranged the meeting comes stumbling down the stairs
<Skeleton> He is seasick. On a river.
<Moonside> He is riversick.
<Deathfish64> or is he just drunk
<Skeleton> River Syk
<~flibbyjibbits> he pretty much lands in the last unnoccupied chair and then look up and puts his hands on the table "Heya howrall ya doin, haven seen ya in a will."
<Skeleton> Hey does this river have a name, anyway
<~flibbyjibbits> you may remember this guy from a long time ago
<Moonside> Lotte cringes at his butchering of the common language
<Moonside> .
<CommodoreJim> Is this the guy who ferried us to fight obsiadian monster
<~flibbyjibbits> yes
<CommodoreJim> Oh myg od
<Deathfish64> "Hi, Teyo.  Long time no see."
<Moonside> "Oh, it's... ah, I don't remember your name."
<Moonside> "Yes, Teyo."
<CommodoreJim> "Ah...Teyo. Greetings." Drom manages to say, somewhat quieter than usual.
<Skeleton> "Ahoy Teyo"
<~flibbyjibbits> "Yall look desen, diddin look up too offen, haven't died yet.  "
<Moonside> I don't understand what he's saying, and I make a face indicative of such.
<Skeleton> Freddie does not remember this guy at all
<~flibbyjibbits> his accent is pretty thick
<~flibbyjibbits> or maybe by now its even a different dialect almost incomprehensible
<Moonside> I don't think it was this thick before.
<Deathfish64> "We had a pretty hard time in Farim recently."
<Moonside> I cast Comprehend Languages on myself, except not really.
<Moonside> "So, er... what do you want of us?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "So I heard.  "  his accent is clearer now, maybe even to it might seem like he could've been faking it before
<Skeleton> The Swordish Forsh!
<~flibbyjibbits> "Essentially, we had a team in the field to retreive an asset, and they crossed paths with you; our method of oberving them is limited to long story short you're wanted to be put on trial for involvement in the death of Lady Idrian. The Wanderlust, this boat, will go to the Spire, where the trial will be held."
<~flibbyjibbits> "However, you do have options here."
<Deathfish64> Pikkup frowns
<Eltrotraw> Tombs scowls harder than before. "So what's stopping us from bailing from here?"
<Skeleton> Freddie also frowns
<Moonside> Lotte also frowns. "You're joking, right?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "well, " he looks around, "This is a boat."
<CommodoreJim> ".........."
<~flibbyjibbits> "So anyways, Falkan has requested that you come talk to him first, and we can take you there before docking at the Spire, if you want."
<CommodoreJim> Drom's expression is unreadable, due to helmet, but this his bodylanguage shows he is not lovin' this shit.
<Eltrotraw> "And you'd hunt us down if we'd jump ship, am I wrong?"
<Moonside> Lotte rubs her temples a bit before getting up and going outside.
<~flibbyjibbits> "I guess we would a bit, but I do repeat, this is a boat."
<Eltrotraw> "On a river, unless we can't swim to shore..."
<Moonside> Out in the deck, I just lean against the railing or whatever it's called and facepalm in despair.
<~flibbyjibbits> "We're about 3 days out from the Spire, but if you would prefer to take up Falkan's offer, hes on vacation on South Nethu, the island, so we would just keep going if you wanted."
<Eltrotraw> "Or are we surrounded by Order members already?"
<Skeleton> Freddie clears his throat at 'can't swim'
<Skeleton> "Tombs I can't live the life of a fugitive, I don't think"
<Moonside> I come back in after a while. "Falkan is the cool guy, yeah? Guess it wouldn't hurt to go talk to him first. SIGH."
<Skeleton> "I also can't really swim"
<Moonside> "You're a Wizard. You can probably fly or something."
<Skeleton> "Not yet, not yet"
<~flibbyjibbits> "Sir Falkan does have some strange ideas but he is often regarded as one of the more approachable of the ring, yes."
<Moonside> "..."
<Moonside> "Also, why were you acting like an idiot just now?"
<CommodoreJim> "....
<Deathfish64> Pikkup doesn't bother mentioning that he can't swim either
<CommodoreJim> Drom also cannot swim. And is also clad in several pounds of armor.
<~flibbyjibbits> he stands up, ignoring the question, "You have about two days to decide, though I assume its an easy choice.  Not many people like the trials at the spire."
<Skeleton> "They're not fair, I take it?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "The fairness varies wildly and unpredictably."
<Skeleton> I'd like to remind everyone that Freddie told Lotte not to make the decision to go with the order rangers.
<CommodoreJim> "....I...suppose seeing Falkan would not be a bad course of action."
<Skeleton> Continue.
<Moonside> I don't remember such a thing happening.
<Eltrotraw> Tombs remains silent, though clicks his tongue at Freddie's comment
<Eltrotraw> instead, deciding to scowl in the corner
<Skeleton> <~flibbyjibbits> ...looking to get somewhere nice to stay.  Tell you what, we're shipping out in a few days, but can help you get some nicer accomodations until then, if you'd want to come with when we leave."
<Skeleton> <Moonside> I drink some more. "Oh, yeah that'd be nice. We've been wantin' to get outta here for a while now."
<Skeleton> <Skeleton> "Lotte no don't make decisions, not now"
<Skeleton> <Moonside> I finish drinking and throw the bottle at Freddie.
<Skeleton> :>
<Moonside> Oh, yeah.
<Moonside> Well no one listens to Freddie anyway.
<Deathfish64> They would have found us eventually anyway, I bet
<Skeleton> And you wonder why our lives are in hell!!! :O
<Skeleton> Nah but they were both drunk at the time anyway
<~flibbyjibbits> "Good, then.  As I mentioned before he is vacationing at the Kres family estate in the south, and has invited you there for a talk." He starts back up the stairs, "Nah'll see you guys all later, yea, few days ovra week till we get there, card game night in four."
<Eltrotraw> Tombs would actually been willing to live as a fugitive
<CommodoreJim> THE OUTLAW
<Eltrotraw> exactly
<CommodoreJim> Drom puts his head in his hands for a moment. "This just keeps getting worse."
<~flibbyjibbits> teyo leaves and locks the door behind him even though you could probably get around to the other side in like 3 minutes anyways
<Moonside> "Sigh..."
<Deathfish64> "Idrian is the one who almost killed me..."
<Eltrotraw> "I'm still thinkin' of jumpin' off. I guess you're all willin' to try and clear your names?"
<CommodoreJim> "There is no way I'm jumping off. And no way I'm living as an outlaw."
<Moonside> "Same here."
<Eltrotraw> "Suit yourself, then. Let's have it your way."
<Skeleton> "We'll be all right, I mean, we've been pretty lucky so far, haven't we"
<Skeleton> 1
<Deathfish64> "Outlaw or not I don't care very much, but I wouldn't really like having to hide all the time.  Besides, I can't swim."
<Skeleton> "Maybe we could take over the boat and become a band of pirates"
<CommodoreJim> "No."
<Deathfish64> "No."
<Skeleton> "Captain Drom, First Mate Lotte, Admiral Freddie, Swabbies Tombs, Pikkup and Raynar"
<Moonside> "No."
<Skeleton> "Oh..."
<Eltrotraw> "Swabbies? You callin' me a swabbie?"
<~flibbyjibbits> brb bathroom
<~flibbyjibbits> [if you so please i have nothing planned for the remainder of the trip which is 10 days so just timeskip all you want]
<CommodoreJim> "Well, if anyone needs me, I'll be staying below deck."
<Skeleton> "Nahhhh... I just ran out of boat crew titles"
<Moonside> Lotte starts looking worried.
<Skeleton> Alternate timeline: They fucking took over the boat and became pirates.
<CommodoreJim> Drom with a captain's hat over his helmet
<Skeleton> But the swabbies were Ekans, Socrates and Warty Morty
<~flibbyjibbits> pirates on a stretch of river
<Deathfish64> The river connects with the ocean
<Eltrotraw> Tombs would be willing and ready to shoot the guy if he had a getaway plan
<Deathfish64> and we will be going out to sea to reach that island
<Skeleton> One of the shut doors at the temple totally had Pirate Adventure Party behind it
<Deathfish64> probably
<Skeleton> 'Yeah! That's right! I'm bad!'
<Skeleton> Welp
<Skeleton> Timeskip I guess
<CommodoreJim> Pshooooooooooooo.
<~flibbyjibbits> ok back
<~flibbyjibbits> you pass by "the spire" which is the capital city of nethu. well, pass through it, through a canal, and then through to the ocean
<~flibbyjibbits> about a week passes on the ocean where nothing happens because naval combat is bullshit in this game
<~flibbyjibbits> it gets hotter out
<Deathfish64> hot
<Moonside> Damn.
<CommodoreJim> ;)
<~flibbyjibbits> the place on the map titled south nethu is in the tropics so
<~flibbyjibbits> and thats where youre going
<Deathfish64> and then we get a beach fanservice chapter before we all get hanged
<Skeleton> omg
<Moonside> 'It's the beach!'
<~flibbyjibbits> beach fanservice chapter indeed
<CommodoreJim> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsFuyy7WBSU&feature=plcp This is all I can hear in my head
<CommodoreJim> Drom wears a swimsuit over his armor
<~flibbyjibbits> comin into veiw is a port town i neglected to name yet
<CommodoreJim> And also one of those floaty duck innertubes
<~flibbyjibbits> up on the hill behind it is a large manor, walled off
<~flibbyjibbits> it also appears that some sections of the city have walls around them as well
<~flibbyjibbits> the boat docks
<~flibbyjibbits> its a decent city
<~flibbyjibbits> like its nice and all
<~flibbyjibbits> but theres still a kind of tension in the air
<Eltrotraw> I think we're hewaded to the mansion
<~flibbyjibbits> and theres a patrolman like every other street corner
<CommodoreJim> Drom looks extremely relieved to be off the boat.
<~flibbyjibbits> the main street of the town leads right up to the gate
<Moonside> Lotte doesn't like the heat.
<~flibbyjibbits> the gate isn't locked, it sways open in the wind
<Eltrotraw> "So where're we headed?"
<Deathfish64> Roughly how big is this island (since the map is all not-to-scale)?
<~flibbyjibbits> iguess idunno lets say uh
<~flibbyjibbits> i have no sense of scale
<~flibbyjibbits> lets call it like 5 days by foot across
<Deathfish64> good enough
<~flibbyjibbits> the area within the estate walls is pretty obviously high class if that were not already implied by it being the
<~flibbyjibbits> "kress family estate" which i believe i have mentioned is one of the older noble houses of the nation
<~flibbyjibbits> its got like fountains and topiaries and idle servants and shit
<CommodoreJim> cool
<Eltrotraw> but we are going inside the mansion then
<~flibbyjibbits> doors open
<~flibbyjibbits> if you want to
<~flibbyjibbits> or just look around i dont care that much
<Moonside> Does it have magical air conditioning?
<Skeleton> I kinda pictured Falkan reclining on a chair on the beach with shades and a drink with an umbrella in it
<Eltrotraw> So Tombs is going to walk in
<~flibbyjibbits> it might
<Moonside> And a flower print shirt.
<CommodoreJim> Where do I leave Melange
<Deathfish64> We were invited so we should probably check in with Falkan before thinking about other things
<~flibbyjibbits> the foyer is big and fancy and has portraits of every living member of the family as well as the former patriarchs, leading back about 600 years- there is a spot marked for zulban but the actual painting was cut out of the frame
<~flibbyjibbits> the floor has another of those big murals of the wheel
<~flibbyjibbits> theres 3 wings to the place, but one is sealed off, and one has a servant beckoning towards you
<Moonside> This reminds me of Sirius' room in one of the Harry Potter books.
<~flibbyjibbits> "Are you the group sir Falkan was expecting? This way, please."
<Moonside> We follow the servant.
<Skeleton> Follow that man!!!
<~flibbyjibbits> the servant seems kinda elvish but not really
<~flibbyjibbits> if you wondered
<Deathfish64> Like a half-elf?
<~flibbyjibbits> yeah i guess
<~flibbyjibbits> also the interior of the building is indeed cooler than the outside, due to some kind of magical orbs embedded in the ceilings that emit a light breeze
<CommodoreJim> cool
<Moonside> rimshot
<~flibbyjibbits> the servant heads down a couple of hallways to a library room
<Moonside> Yaaay!
<~flibbyjibbits> there Falkan is drinking some kind of fruity drink and playing some board game with a young woman who looks kind of familiar
<~flibbyjibbits> the servant asks if anyone wants anything to eat or drink
<Moonside> "I'd like some cold water, please."
<CommodoreJim> "I'm fine for now, thanks."
<Skeleton> "Something pink with an umbrella in it"
<Deathfish64> "Juice, I guess."
<~flibbyjibbits> the dude bows out of the room and closes the door
<Skeleton> ("Finally, somebody who doesn't look at me like 'what the hell are you smoking' when I talk about something that probably doesn't exist")
<Moonside> "Hey." I say towards Falkan.
<~flibbyjibbits> He stands up from where he was seated and raises his hands as a gesture of welcome, "Hello, my friends, so good to see you made it here.  Quite a trip, isn't it?"
<~flibbyjibbits> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [flibbyjibbits - 1d20] <9> <Total: 9>
<~flibbyjibbits> disregard
<CommodoreJim> ?????
<Skeleton> ...
<Deathfish64> ...
<CommodoreJim> "I'll say."
<Moonside> Mysterious GM dice rolls.
<Skeleton> I can't disregard it now!!
<Moonside> "...yeah, quite."
<Deathfish64> "I... guess?"
<Skeleton> "Worth the wait."
<CommodoreJim> gaben
<Eltrotraw> can tombs be rude
<Skeleton> Welcome to my farm.
<~flibbyjibbits> sure
<Skeleton> That's up to him, isn't it?
<Eltrotraw> "Drop the act, you know why we're here, don't you?"
<Skeleton> :(   (
<Skeleton> And then there were nooses
<~flibbyjibbits> "Well, yes, but I didn't want to spoil the festive mood by bringing it up too quickly."
<Eltrotraw> "Festive?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "I'm not hanging around on this island to work faster."
<Skeleton> 'I'm hanging around on this island to pick up the hot babes!'
<Eltrotraw> "It's not like we were here on a trip, unless you wanted us to drink away all our troubles. Where're your drinks?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "They're coming.  Anyways I suppose since you want to skip ahead to the answers I might as well give them to you."
<~flibbyjibbits> he sits back down, "Pull up a chair, might take a while to explain."
<Moonside> I sigh again and do that.
<Deathfish64> oh boy more sitting
<Moonside> Socrates jumps up on my lap and lies down.
<Skeleton> Sit time
<Eltrotraw> Tombs leans against a wall again
<CommodoreJim> SIT.
<~flibbyjibbits> The young woman he was playing the board game with turns her chair to face the group
<~flibbyjibbits> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [flibbyjibbits - 1d20] <7> <Total: 7>
<~flibbyjibbits> gee
<~flibbyjibbits> she does look familiar but doesnt say anything
<Eltrotraw> !roll 1 20 knowledge memory???
<bitdroid> [Eltrotraw - 1d20(knowledge)] <9> <9> <Total: 9>
<~flibbyjibbits> not quite
<Moonside> The only women that I think we met that were notable were the coin-throwing monk, Idrian, the queen and Luce.
<Moonside> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [Moonside - 1d20] <17> <Total: 17>
<Deathfish64> the monk wasn't even notable, just a random encounter
<Moonside> She was notable for being peculiar.
<~flibbyjibbits> she bears a pretty much identical resemblance to Idrian, just dressed differently, hair done up different, and not angry
<Moonside> "Ah, you... really look like Idrian."
<~flibbyjibbits> "I am Idrian.  I don't believe we've met, though, miss..?" she asks, bowing slightly, as much as one can bow without standing up
<Skeleton> Freddie looks dumbfounded
<CommodoreJim> "..."
<Deathfish64> Pikkup kinda winces a little and then frowns
<Moonside> "...Charlotte." Lotte then goes into deep thinking.
<Moonside> Is Knowledge Psionics a thing?
<Eltrotraw> "If we're being accused of killin' Idrian, who's this?"
<~flibbyjibbits> lets say it works on the same as arcane
<Skeleton> Idrian confirmed for MODOK
<Moonside> !roll 1 20 +10 know arcane/psionics is there a power that can like, send someone's mind or soul or whatever to another body or something, because that's a theory.
<bitdroid> [Moonside - 1d20(+10)] <11> <1> <Total: 11>
<Moonside> lolnope
<~flibbyjibbits> "Please leave the room, dear." Falkan says, as she looks confused, she gets up and leaves the room, glancing back worriedly to the group as she leaves the room
<Skeleton> She has clones in storage for when she gets rock-stabbed
<CommodoreJim> "...so. What's going on."
<~flibbyjibbits> "I'm sorry, I hadn't told her yet she wasn't the real one."
<Moonside> "That's a pity, she seems to be a lot nicer."
<~flibbyjibbits> "Yes, well, thats why I didn't tell her."
<Moonside> "...please elaborate. Considering your area of expertise... is she a clone or something?"
<Skeleton> "Sister? Cousin from Old Country? Counterpart from alternate timeline? "
<~flibbyjibbits> he breathes deeply and looks into his drink "I don't like to talk about this, but, yes.  I was elected to the position of high alchemist because of my work in alchemical simulacra. " he looks at the floor, "The actual Idrian hasn't been allowed out of her chambers in the Spire for a few years now."
<Eltrotraw> "So how many of 'em are runnin' around right now?"
<Eltrotraw> Tombs doesn't look too phased by this information aside from his usual scowl and some disbelief etched in his face
<Moonside> "Ah... is this the same for Zulban and the others?"
<Deathfish64> "And, er, why?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "I'm not sure.  I designed the process as such that it could be done without me, so the council, the ones above the ring in the order, and Ralan, can spin off copies that emphasize certain personality and magical traits."
<Moonside> "..."
<CommodoreJim> "Well, that'
<CommodoreJim> s...alarming, to say the least."
<Skeleton> "I'm alarmed."
<~flibbyjibbits> He stands up and paces a bit, "Now, the version that you encountered was created to distract the queen of Farim and otherwise clear the way for her team to access whatever it was they were looking for in the woods.  Despite the council treating her like an expendable resource, it still isn't exactly well known.  This whole thing, I mean."
<~flibbyjibbits> "And to answer another question I heard, no, it is not this way for the rest of the ring, only Idrian.  They consider her too valuable to risk.  Which I suppose says a lot about what they think of the rest of us."
<Moonside> Lotte cracks a rather sadist-looking smile while listening to this, but doesn't say anything.
<Deathfish64> "Well, then, what does this mean for all of us?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "Well, you are being put on trial under suspicions of killing her.  All the long range divination can tell is that you were all there when she died.  "
<Eltrotraw> "Which is true. Bein' there doesn't prove we were a part of it though."
<Moonside> "Yeah, and she almost killed Pikkup there. And the queen was the one that killed her. If you people couldn't see that, then you probably need new diviners."
<~flibbyjibbits> "All they show is proximity, and the queen is beyond them.  Anyways, if you didn't do it, then there is a way to prove it.  Does sir Drominus still carry with him the medallion that Ralan put on him, some time ago?"
<Deathfish64> "I don't think we could have even killed her if we tried, honestly..."
* Arjay ([email protected]) has joined #adventure
<~flibbyjibbits> you fucked it up
<Arjay> oops
<~flibbyjibbits> more like argay
<Moonside> Hey.
<Skeleton> oh my
<Skeleton> I just noticed how close "arkay" is to "raynar"
<Eltrotraw> durdrurdrurhsuoijtd
<Skeleton> add an r and n, kill the k, mess the letters around
<Skeleton> Hahaha
<Skeleton> (yeah. that's right. I'm dumb.)
<CommodoreJim> "Oh! Actually, yes."
* Arjay is now known as Arkay
<CommodoreJim> Drom pulls it off from around his neck.
<Skeleton> NOOOOO IT ONLY WORKS IF YOU'RE STILL WEARING IT NOOOOO
<Skeleton> (please don't be true)
<~flibbyjibbits> "Now, it wasn't my idea to give you this and I actually only noticed it now.  It is incredibly fortunate that Ralan thought to put this on you."
<Skeleton> "What is it?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "With the right magical keyphrase, and in the correct location, a person can experience everything that occurred to the bearer of the amulet since it was put on.  Obviously, this can exonerate you from the crime, if you'd allow a judge to view the memories."
<Skeleton> In a bed
<Moonside> "A-ah..." Lotte blushes slightly. "Er, anyway... you know why he gave it to Drom in the first place?"
<Eltrotraw> Tombs raises an eyebrow. "So nothin' else would bea ble to prove our innocence?"
<~flibbyjibbits> "I don't know why Ralan does anything."
<CommodoreJim> "...well, that's certainly convinient."
<Skeleton> "Well that bone man took the body away, so, an autopsy would be a no-go wouldn't it"
<~flibbyjibbits> [[in case anyone was wondering, yes the purpose of the medallion was written since way back when he got it, its not just an ass-pull to get you out of a bad situation]]
<CommodoreJim> hooray planning
<Moonside> That's the way.
<Deathfish64> "They could always just use magic to make us tell the truth again, like what happened the last time we were suspected of being involved with the murder of an important person that we didn't actually kill, right?"
<Skeleton> "Or both. Double aquitted."
<~flibbyjibbits> "Possibly, but that magic can be tricked, or the strong willed can work against it.  With the medallion we can just put it on the boat and Ralan can crack it open and look through it aquit you without you even having to go to trial."
<~flibbyjibbits> also the servant comes back with the drinks now
<~flibbyjibbits> apoligizing for taking so long
<Moonside> "Oh, it's ok. Thanks," I say to the servant while taking my water.
<Skeleton> "Zow! Umbrella drink!"
<Eltrotraw> What sort of drinks are they?
<Deathfish64> "Yeah, that is true."  Pikkup says to Falkan as he takes his drink.
<~flibbyjibbits> "Yes, sorry, guests, sir Zulban returned from his walk in the city and wanted to talk."
<Moonside> Who says this?
<Eltrotraw> "And goin' to trial would be an instant death sentence for us?"
<~flibbyjibbits> tombs can have retroactively ordered something since you werent here
<~flibbyjibbits> the servant did
<Eltrotraw> sure, he'll have some liquory thing
<Moonside> And who is it that he wants to talk to, us?
<bitdroid> It's Skeleton
<Moonside> Ok.
<Moonside> Go, Freddie.
<Arkay> you got this man
<~flibbyjibbits> "Not necessarily, but if I had to guess they'd spin out another Idrian to be the prosecutor, likely one specialized in interrogation magic.  And its not a very precise process, might either be deadly or pleasant. Hard to say.  Might trend more towards the former due to the nature of the accusation."
<Skeleton> http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31Vv6bEJUhL.jpg I am busy drinking this
<~flibbyjibbits> zulban was just talking to the servants dun worry
<~flibbyjibbits> unless you wanted to go talk to him that is
<Moonside> Oh, ok.
<Moonside> No, I thought that he came back now and wanted to talk to us, but ok.
<CommodoreJim> Drom never particularly wants to talk to Zulballs
<Moonside> "They'd have Idrian prosecute our trial for Idrian's murder? Wow."
<Deathfish64> ("Look, Idrian is right there, alive and well!  We're obviously innocent.")
<~flibbyjibbits> "Just a possibility.  Its also possible Ralan would just ask for the medallion there, unless he had wanted to save it for later."
<Skeleton> I'm kinda picturing
<Moonside> "you people are so full of shit, I don't even know where to begin."
<Skeleton> If killing Idrian clones were okay...
<Skeleton> Just a shooting range
<Skeleton> Where you kill Idrians
<Deathfish64> Tombs's favorite range
<~flibbyjibbits> falkan would cry
<Eltrotraw> Tombs takes a drink. "I second Lotte, if your diviners could only see Idrian died and not who killed her, you need new ones. But let's see if we can find out anything from that necklace then."
<CommodoreJim> 'it's not a necklace, it's a medallion...it's manly :<'
<Eltrotraw> *medallion/whatever
<Eltrotraw> Tombs is being snippy right now
<Skeleton> Drom's jewelry
<Skeleton> Pirate Drom is all about stealing diamonds. They are his best friends.
<Arkay> it really brings out your eyes drom
<Arkay> not like I can see them through the helmet
<CommodoreJim> :<
<~flibbyjibbits> "Yes, yes, I'll put it on a boat in the morning.  Enough of this sad talk for now.  I spoke with Zulban just before you arrived and he said you can stay here for some time, relax a bit after that harrowing time in the woods.  Though I will, of course, still want to talk about a subject of quite dire magnitude that something you've said brought to my attention, though that can wait."
<Moonside> "...okay. I guess he's not that bad, then."
<Skeleton> "Is there /anything/ we can do to help make sure it doesn't fall off the boat or get eaten by a river squid or something ridiculous"
<~flibbyjibbits> "I suppose if thats a concern we can wait for Ralan to come here instead."
<Eltrotraw> Pirate Drom thinks gems are truly outrageous.
<Eltrotraw> Truly, truly outrageous
<Skeleton> "Err, sorry, I didn't mean to say I doubted you or anything... just, wouldn't that be terrible"
<~flibbyjibbits> "Absolutely awful, it would require some kind of trip to the bottom of the ocean to recover, and dealing with all the terrible things that live down there.  But somehow I don't think its likely those will be showing up in this adventure of yours."
<Eltrotraw> (which means they'll show up)
<Moonside> Nah, I think he means it here.
<CommodoreJim> All the character stop and look at Flib
<~flibbyjibbits> [[not because I don't like water stuff. because underwater combat is completely stupid bullshit in d20
<Arkay> what's wrong with water combat in d20 anyway
<Deathfish64> We could get magical items that magically make underwater combat work just like ordinary combat!  Gravity suits or something.
<~flibbyjibbits> its just dumb and a big pain
<Moonside> There are such items, and they're based on spells.
<Moonside> Freedom of Movement is one such spell, but it does more than gravity.
<Eltrotraw> It's dumb because your movement's hindered
<Deathfish64> We defeat the nightmare and get equipped with gravity suit
<Deathfish64> whee
<Eltrotraw> and if you use said spells then what's the point
<~flibbyjibbits> furthermore the things that live in the deep depths are mostly shit like aboleths and theyre pretty much "if anyone in the party misses a save you all lose"
<Arkay> sounds like fun, flib
<Arkay> :v
<Deathfish64> bitdroid would never let us down like that, right?
<~flibbyjibbits> and shoggoths and nightwaves which are all cr 17+
<Deathfish64> 1 1 1 1 1 1
<Skeleton> !roll 1 1
<bitdroid> [Skeleton - 1d1] <1> <Total: 1>
<Moonside> Yeah, lovecraftian stuff.
<~flibbyjibbits> anyways
<Deathfish64> we could go have a party with gillmen
<Arkay> we can become fishpeople
<Deathfish64> except they probably don't throw very nice parties
<Skeleton> So what's eatin' Falkan
<Deathfish64> anyways, we're in the clear probably
<~flibbyjibbits> Falkan gestures to the servant to get some more drinks, "I'm going to finish this match here, and then maybe take a walk down to the beach with Idrian.  You can just do whatever, but I'd recomend against wandering into the west wing, since Zulban uses that to sulk in private, and some parts of the villages are off limits by hit orders, but thats pretty much it."
<CommodoreJim> Hehehe, the thought of Zulban just walking around sulking
<Skeleton> But he just said we brought something unpleasant to his attention
<~flibbyjibbits> he said he wanyted to talk about it tomorow
<Skeleton> Oh
<Skeleton> Right
<Deathfish64> Around what time of day is it?
<~flibbyjibbits> i may have mentioned before that the original idrian is his adopted daughter so he gets a little upset and drinky when he has to talk about the whole simulacra thing
<~flibbyjibbits> its noontime
<CommodoreJim> What's there to do around this place
<~flibbyjibbits> be lazy around the manor, snooper about it, head down into the tropical island city, look for trouble, go into those places he said were off limits to you, whatever
<Moonside> I'll stay in the library and check its books out.
<Skeleton> sexy beach party
<Moonside> Oh yeah, I have one last question for Falkan.
<CommodoreJim> But Drom didn't pack his trunks
<Eltrotraw> So Tombs will help himself to more drinks
<Eltrotraw> Unless there're a few things to shoot at
<Moonside> "Ah, Falkan, one last question..."
<Eltrotraw> ("Hey, I wanna borrow a few of your plates/eggs")
<~flibbyjibbits> the nice idrian walks back into the room and sits down and takes her turn in the board game
<Moonside> "...though I guess I can ask you later. Anyway, I'll check out these books here."
<Skeleton> How come no one we re-meet comments on Lotte's witch hair
<~flibbyjibbits> good question
<Skeleton> Or, though less noticeable, Freddie's slight growth
<Eltrotraw> (is there something to shoot)
<~flibbyjibbits> its a pretty old library
<CommodoreJim> tombs wants to shoot nice Idrian ;)
<Skeleton> The Idrian Firing Range, where you can shoot Idrians everyday
<~flibbyjibbits> this particular room of it seems to be mostly fiction books
<Deathfish64> "I'll go look around town."
<Moonside> Is there something like hard science fiction?
<Eltrotraw> "hard"
<~flibbyjibbits> i dont think thats been invented yet
<Skeleton> "R&R on the beach is all I need"
<Deathfish64> How do you science fiction without science
<Skeleton> Freddie takes another pink umbrella drink and goes to do that
<Deathfish64> magic fiction?
<~flibbyjibbits> magic fiction is just fiction
<Moonside> I'm pretty sure science exists, otherwise guns wouldn't.
<~flibbyjibbits> since its already a magical setting
<Moonside> But yeah, I suppose not on a level that'd allow for hardness.
<Deathfish64> where they have advanced magic like CAMERAS
<Moonside> I'll just look at some murder mysteries, then.
<~flibbyjibbits> i suppose notable is a book on display that is a very old copy of the king and the dragon with a few chapters torn out of it
<CommodoreJim> Hmmm, what should Drom do
<Moonside> Reading it would just make Lotte angry.
<~flibbyjibbits> drom should go check in on his best friend
<Moonside> Besides, she has already read a whole copy some dozen times.
<Deathfish64> Pikkup exits the manor and heads into town, with the intent of looking for any summoner fighting rings like the ones he observed in Rakor City
<~flibbyjibbits> !roll 1 20  does he find one
<bitdroid> [flibbyjibbits - 1d20(does)] <13> <13> <Total: 13>
<Skeleton> He finds THIRTEEN OF THEM OH MY GOD
<Arkay> lucky number
<CommodoreJim> no, no drom is not going to go talk to zulban
<~flibbyjibbits> he doesnt specifically find one, but does hear about where one usually starts up late at night
<Skeleton> This is how the dice works now, the number means the number of successes!
<~flibbyjibbits> in one of the suburbs of the city, a primarily tengu neighborhood, there are midnight monster fights once a week
<Deathfish64> He makes a mental note to go check that out later, then.
<~flibbyjibbits> pikkup may also be surprised at the racial variety of the city
<CommodoreJim> there are BLACK PEOPLE
<~flibbyjibbits> given the homogenity of the rest of nethu
<Deathfish64> probably happily surprised!
<~flibbyjibbits> he may also be surprised how many people seem to be hybrids. i mean im not sure if thats a polite way to refer to halfelfs, halforcs, and the like or if thats a slur or whatnot
<Deathfish64> heck I have no idea how to be PC with imaginary mixes of intelligent species
<CommodoreJim> wow you're half-black
<Deathfish64> obama
<Deathfish64> he's actually from south nethu
<CommodoreJim> Anyway! Drom needs to do /something/ so...hm. Man I really should figure out Drom's hobbies besides being a knight
<CommodoreJim> And helmets
<Moonside> brb, bathroom.
<Deathfish64> anyway, after finding out about that, he would then transition to looking for information about any large monsters the area may be known for
<Deathfish64> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [Deathfish64 - 1d20] <15> <Total: 15>
<CommodoreJim> bahamut has been sighted
<Arkay> if 15 is bahamut, I want to know what 20 is
<CommodoreJim> Jormungandr
<Deathfish64> a gazebo
<Arkay> the mightiest monster of all
<Skeleton> urmom
<~flibbyjibbits> a little ways down the coast there've been some shallow water drake attacks, and the inland has some issues with some kind of unidentified thing
<~flibbyjibbits> like some weird thing thats been making trouble for farmers and they dont know what it is
<Deathfish64> SOUNDS LIKE A QUEST
<CommodoreJim> ...Drom needs a hobby. Hm.
<Moonside> It's clearly the chupacabra!
<Skeleton> He whittles
<Skeleton> Oooh!
<Deathfish64> I thought his hobby was poetry
<Skeleton> He should carve one of those coconut monkeys
<CommodoreJim> Oh yeah, he does whittle and write poetry.
<CommodoreJim> Coconut monkeys?
<Deathfish64> Go find some tropical wood to whittle
<CommodoreJim> Oh those
<Skeleton> http://www.sz-wholesale.com/uploadFiles/upimg4%5CCoconut-Monkey_182064.jpg
<Deathfish64> And then carve poetry into it
<CommodoreJim> Has Drom even seen a monkey
<Deathfish64> good question
<Skeleton> If he needs, Freddie can summon a swarm of them for him
<CommodoreJim> Freddie: 'drom carve something like this out of a coconut' *MAD MONKEYS*
<Skeleton> C'mon do it
<Skeleton> We never roleplay inconsequential dumbassery
<~flibbyjibbits> what if  the coconut is the material focus for the mad monkeys spell
<CommodoreJim> Okay geeze. Drom looks for a coconut and a knife.
<CommodoreJim> Well, more like several coconuts
<CommodoreJim> Because chances of doing this well on first attempt are low
<~flibbyjibbits> its a tropical place theyve got to besomewhere
<Skeleton> and a Freddie (he is kinda just flopped down someplace on the beach, he hasn't bothered to take off his sweater or anything
<Skeleton> )
<Skeleton> Do you need to be taller to reach a coconut in a tree?
<CommodoreJim> No, I'll just tackle some out of a tree I think.
<Skeleton> bonk
<~flibbyjibbits> worst case scenario is get them from a store
<CommodoreJim> Helmet protects Drom from any coconut related injuries
<~flibbyjibbits> not like theyd be expensive enough to awarrant me looking upa price
<Deathfish64> You don't tackle things out of trees, you need to use headbutt
<Deathfish64> duh
<CommodoreJim> Well, one way or another, Drom obtained coconuts and a knife and a chair, and is now sitting out on the beach.
<Deathfish64> Haven't you PLAYED pokemon before?
<Skeleton> "Hey"
<CommodoreJim> "Hm?"
<Skeleton> "Makin' piña coladas?"
<CommodoreJim> "Makin' what"
<Skeleton> "pineapple, coconut, rum"
<Skeleton> "Well I don't see any pineapple or rum, so I guess not."
<CommodoreJim> "Oh. Well, no. I just have coconuts. Was gonna enjoy some, maybe carve the shells into something. Not sure what, though."
<Skeleton> "Maybe Tomb's face"
<Skeleton> *s'
<CommodoreJim> "Haha. Maybe."
<Moonside> After checking some books out, I decide to watch Idrian's and Falkan's game. If they're ok with it.
<CommodoreJim> "Would have to get the scowl juuuuuust right."
<Skeleton> "Get him to pose for you"
<Skeleton> "And then you leave some of the coconut husk's hair for his mustache and beard. And hair."
<Skeleton> "Or you could carve one of those coconut monkeys you always see on cabana-style restaurant counters"
<CommodoreJim> "...huh?"
<Skeleton> "for that it's like the whole monkey is the coconut, with a big face and curled-up body, you know"
<Skeleton> "Like a monkey"
<CommodoreJim> "...Well, I guess I could give it a try."
<Skeleton> "Can I help, I could show you some monkeys, I could summon a monkey"
<CommodoreJim> "That...sounds like it might be a disaster waiting to happen."
<Skeleton> "I've never used the spell before... but"
<Skeleton> "Pay close attention 'cause I think they'll only be here for about 40 seconds or so"
<Skeleton> "Okay I'm gonna do it, Maaaaaaaad Monkeys!"
<Moonside> Dude, the spell is called Mad Monkeys. MAD Monkeys.
<Moonside> As in, it's probably not a good idea to summon them if not to throw them on your enemies.
<Deathfish64> (incidentally, pikkup could summon a single gorilla is a much less insane way)
<Skeleton> and then a swarm of tiny monkeys appears
<CommodoreJim> Pikkup is also currently out and about
<Deathfish64> yes
<Deathfish64> He is currently in the middle of information gathering
<Skeleton> "Oh, it's working."
<Skeleton> "Look at 'em"
<CommodoreJim> "Uh."
<~flibbyjibbits> "Please do not cast summoning spells in the library. Or any spell.s Or indoors at all." the halfelf servant asks
<Skeleton> But we're on the beach :U
<Deathfish64> I thought this was at the beach
<Moonside> I don't think they're in the library.
<~flibbyjibbits> o vn
<~flibbyjibbits> nvm
<Moonside> "Or outdoors"
<Skeleton> 'Or ever'
<Deathfish64> "magic is an abomination"
<CommodoreJim> "...well, okay, then."
<Deathfish64> er, but pikkup didn't actually say that and never would
<Skeleton> So I guess these monkeys kinda just go wacko for 36 seconds and poof away?
<Skeleton> "I can do that two more times today"
<Moonside> The monkeys throw some shit at Freddie and Drom.
<Deathfish64> Don't swarms attack the nearest living thing?
<Skeleton> They obey me
<Moonside> But they're MAD.
<Deathfish64> I know my spider swarms just attack whatever is in their reach
<Deathfish64> I only control where they show up as far as the spell description indicates
<CommodoreJim> Hm.
<CommodoreJim> So are we monkey attacked or not
<Skeleton> Nope
<Skeleton> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/m/mad-monkeys understands and obeys commands
<Skeleton> 'Calm the fuck down! Build me a sandcastle!'
<Deathfish64> well, I guess monkeys are smarter than spiders, bats, or rats
<CommodoreJim> "...no, no. Once is enough."
<Skeleton> "I'd love to have a memory like that. I don't even remember what I had for breakfast"
<CommodoreJim> Drom gets to work on a coconut.
<CommodoreJim> COCONUT MONKEY ROLL
<CommodoreJim> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [CommodoreJim - 1d20] <3> <Total: 3>
<CommodoreJim> "...this is awful."
<Skeleton> Freddie uses penumbra on himself to block sun rays from his eyes, manifesting as cool shades
<CommodoreJim> Drom chucks it behind him.
<Skeleton> !roll 1 2 does it hit someone, 1 for yes, 2 for no
<bitdroid> [Skeleton - 1d2(does)] <1> <1> <Total: 1>
<Skeleton> Bonk!
<CommodoreJim> Liar!
<Skeleton> Just kidding
<CommodoreJim> Coconut Monkey Roll 2: Roll Harder
<Moonside> "Ow!" It actually hits Lotte, who had finished watching that game and was approaching the two.
<Skeleton> omg
<CommodoreJim> "Holy shit. Are you alright?"
<Moonside> "...I've been through worse, but you just threw a coconut on my head! Jeez... anyway, what are you doing?"
<Skeleton> "Arr, and arrrrrrrr."
<CommodoreJim> "I'm...trying to carve a coconut into a monkey. Not much else to do."
<Skeleton> "You probably should de-stress also"
<CommodoreJim> Coconut Monkey Roll 2: Roll Harder
<CommodoreJim> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [CommodoreJim - 1d20] <10> <Total: 10>
<CommodoreJim> "Grrr...."
<Skeleton> "Not too shabby"
<CommodoreJim> "Not good enough."
<Moonside> "Hmm... not doing very well, huh?"
<CommodoreJim> Drom carefully drops it on the ground next to him this time, instead of chucking it.
<CommodoreJim> "My whittling skill seems to fluctuate wildly sometimes."
<CommodoreJim> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [CommodoreJim - 1d20] <1> <Total: 1>
<CommodoreJim> "..."
<CommodoreJim> "...let's...ignore that one."
<Skeleton> "Shabby."
<CommodoreJim> Drom grumbles something about coconuts being stupid as he picks up another.
<Deathfish64> You probably broke that one
<CommodoreJim> with my man strength
<CommodoreJim> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [CommodoreJim - 1d20] <2> <Total: 2>
<CommodoreJim> This one, too.
<Moonside> Lotte makes a :| face.
<CommodoreJim> Drom grits his teeth, and grabs yet another coconut.
<CommodoreJim> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [CommodoreJim - 1d20] <3> <Total: 3>
<CommodoreJim> wow.
<CommodoreJim> bitdroid wtf.
<Moonside> "Wow, you suck."
<CommodoreJim> 1, 2, 3.
<Skeleton> <bitdroid> :D
<CommodoreJim> in order, even
<Eltrotraw> ("Okay, first, you've got to take 10 fruits... and THEN SHOVE THEM UP YOUR BUTT AND MAYBE I'LL LET YOU LIVE."
<Eltrotraw> )
<CommodoreJim> "Hush! It's not easy!" Drom grumbles. ("If this one is a four, I give up.")
<CommodoreJim> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [CommodoreJim - 1d20] <1> <Total: 1>
<Moonside> nope
<CommodoreJim> Drom sighs.
<Moonside> "Apparently so."
<CommodoreJim> "...alright, yeah, I do."
<CommodoreJim> "What the hell."
<CommodoreJim> (Freddie: "MAYBE YOU FORGOT WHAT MONKEYS LOOK LIKE I'LL SUMMON THEM AGAIN")
<Skeleton> I was about to say that
<Skeleton> "Need more reference material?"
<CommodoreJim> Drom shrugs and leans back in his chair. "Wouldn't hurt, I suppose."
<Moonside> "Huh?"
<Skeleton> "I need monkeys! I need MAAAAAAAAD MONKEYS!"
<Skeleton> bvooom! Magic.
<Skeleton> So, now there are monkeys again
<CommodoreJim> Drom watches the monkeys.
<Moonside> Lotte is both surprised and horrified.
<Skeleton> "You two monkeys, clean the lady's shoes"
<Deathfish64> I wonder if there are any other people at the beach, and what they think
<Moonside> "...no, I don't want monkeys anywhere near me."
<Skeleton> "Okay fine, don't. Lotte likes her shoes filthy."
<CommodoreJim> Drom tunes the conversation out and begins carving while monkeys are still fresh in his mind. If this is awful he quits forever.
<CommodoreJim> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [CommodoreJim - 1d20] <13> <Total: 13>
<CommodoreJim> "...well. It's...okay."
<Skeleton> I helped :B
<Moonside> "That's a lot better."
<CommodoreJim> "It actually looks like a monkey this time, at least."
<CommodoreJim> "Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead."
<CommodoreJim> "Only have one coconut left anyway."
<Moonside> "Might as well go for it, hm?"
<CommodoreJim> "Hm. Maybe something else, though."
<CommodoreJim> COCONUT TOMBS HEAD ROLL
<Deathfish64> Maybe by now this has taken long enough for Pikkup to be done with his information gathering?
<CommodoreJim> !roll 1 20
<bitdroid> [CommodoreJim - 1d20] <14> <Total: 14>
<CommodoreJim> "Look, it's Tombs"
<Deathfish64> How long does whittling monkeys even take
<Moonside> "...damn, it really is."
<CommodoreJim> SHRUG
<Skeleton> "Wow."
<Skeleton> I'd imagine a lot of minutes!
<Skeleton> It's probably time to turn in and get some piña coladas someplace
<CommodoreJim> "I'm torn on whether or not I should show this to him or not."
<CommodoreJim> "I mean, he doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humor. Also, he has a gun."
<Skeleton> "Why not, he'll think it's hilarious"
<CommodoreJim> "Or he'll shoot me."
<Skeleton> "Nahhhh if he'd shoot you over a coconut, would I still be here"
<Moonside> "Just leave it somewhere he'll see it, then, without telling him you did it."
<CommodoreJim> "Hmm...guess I should leave it near wherever the booze is."
<Skeleton> Action! Horror! Romance! Situational comedy! All this and more in ADVENTURE
<Moonside> Hearing all this stuff, Lotte smiles tenderly. Like, in a way that you've only sene her do while Elly's around.
<Deathfish64> and Pikkup missed all the group bonding
<Deathfish64> oh well
<CommodoreJim> Because he had to go find where to have his ILLEGAL BARBARIC MONSTER FIGHTS
<Deathfish64> While they were wasting time, he was learning about A QUEST
<Deathfish64> and yes that too
<Deathfish64> well now what
<Moonside> "Hey... what are you guys going to do once we get back to Rakor?"
<CommodoreJim> Drom thinks a bit as he gathers up his coconuts. "I'm...honestly not sure. I've sort of just been riding things out since the king died. Not really sure what I'll end up doing in the long run."
<CommodoreJim> "If I go back to being a knight, what will I end up doing? Being Telmar's errand boy?"
<Skeleton> Freddie looks bothered by something (maybe the fact that last time he went home, it wasn't long before he got deported by a racist wizard!). "Uhhhh..."
<Moonside> "Hmm..." her expression becomes a little more melancholic. "I think I'll... just stop this adventuring business. You know, all of this has been really stressful... and I'm only 26. I dont want my hair to get even whiter now."
<CommodoreJim> "Understandable. It was all sort of an accident we set off on this thing anyway."
<Moonside> "Plus, I've stayed away from Elly for too long this time... I'm really worried about her, and I'm sure she feels the same way about me."
<CommodoreJim> Drom nods. "Must be nice to have family." He finishes packing up the coconuts and chair and knife. "Well, then, I'm heading indoors."
<Skeleton> Now Freddie just looks sad (maybe because he has nothing to go back to!).
<Moonside> Lotte flinches a bit at his last comment, but says nothing.
<Deathfish64> Were we ever invited to stay at the manor or are we supposed to find our own lodgings?
<Moonside> Eventually, she goes back in too,.
<Moonside> I think we can stay in the mansion place.
<Deathfish64> Probably but I don't remember ever getting actual confirmation
<Deathfish64> did flib go somewhere?
<CommodoreJim> Yes. HELL
<Deathfish64> well he's been silent for an hour
<Deathfish64> Well, operating on the reasonable assumption that we can stay at the kres manor, Pikkup will return there
<Deathfish64> flibbyjibbits ping are you alive
<Skeleton> flibbyjibbits cannot make it. Our substitute GM is a swarm of mad monkeys.
<CommodoreJim> monkeys come and kill you all campaign over
<Deathfish64> roll new characters.  They must be monkeys.
<Skeleton> !roll 1 6 how many monkeys is my character
<bitdroid> [Skeleton - 1d6(how)] <4> <4> <Total: 4>
<CommodoreJim> eltro plays as Kuwong
<CommodoreJim> I'll use Pipotron G as a faceclaim
<Deathfish64> I will be a monkey rogue that specializes in stealing hats
<Deathfish64> hated enemy bonus if the hat belongs to a plumber
<Skeleton> I will be a monkey bard that specializes in being electrocuted
<Eltrotraw> huh
<CommodoreJim> what class would Kuwong be
<CommodoreJim> what uses staves
<CommodoreJim> For hitting purposes
<Deathfish64> monk
<Deathfish64> duh
<Skeleton> ey
<Deathfish64> a fighter could too, but monk seems more natural and obvious
<Moonside> Well, I guess we could stop here, then.
<CommodoreJim> Seems so.
<Deathfish64> I guess
<Deathfish64> I was hoping to finish the day out but whatevs
