- Agi has connected.
- Agi: oh a'ight
- Thrice has connected.
- Haretsu: Whoa, saved maps
- Haretsu: what's up with that
- Siegfried: I have ownership of Siegfried
- Siegfried: but not Arte
- Haretsu: ......
- Hendrix: I say get out, dirty GM
- Haretsu: THE GM NOTES ARE SAVED
- Siegfried: Huh
- Haretsu: I'M NOT GETTING OUT
- Siegfried: I'm not GM
- Haretsu: I NEED TO GRAB THESE
- Siegfried: oh agi
- Haretsu: Praise the sun
- Haretsu: I was not looking forward to remaking those
- Haretsu: so yeah lemme disco
- Agi is disconnected.
- Agi has connected.
- Agi: and now I don't have ownership
- Agi: hippo
- Agi: Harry and donkay, especially donkay
- Donkey: I like your priorities
- Donkey: but I do definitely need Harry too
- Hendrix: I don't think so
- Haretsu: dasmo liekit
- Hendrix: goddamn this organization is ass
- Hendrix: anyway
- Tarron: (( it truly is ))
- Hendrix: It is now a new day here in the stolen lands, and last as we checked, you are still intended to explore and chart out this brave yet dangerous new world. It's best we make ourself familiar today, no?
- Tarron: *no*
- Tarron: *it's best we did that YESTERDAY*
- Tarron: *BUT WE DID NOT, BECAUSE REASONS*
- Haretsu: *we apparently did off-camera*
- Hendrix: Familiar with the lands (D)
- Haretsu: *your choice*
- Tarron: *That's what I meant too Tirk*
- Haretsu: *iunno*
- Tarron: *as in, it would have been best to DO that yesterday*
- Tarron: *but we did not*
- Haretsu: *eh, we're not on a timer*
- Haretsu: *let us get our dailies back at least*
- Tarron: *Probably kinda are what with WAR ABOUT TO BREAK OUT*
- Haretsu: *things don't happen until the players initiate them, shit (D)*
- Hendrix: The three stooges are still attempting to do backbreaking work, with varying degrees of success, but hey, they get shit done. The place is a good deal more squeaky clean than it was before.
- Hendrix: Oh, and also the whole "defeat the bandits" thing was meant to be a quest
- Hendrix: which is worth about 400 exp methinks
- Hendrix: so uh, enjoy a 100 exp bonus
- Arte: *is it actually divided?*
- Haretsu: (( eh? We got 150 out of - right dividing and shit ))
- Haretsu: (( If we divide EVERYTHING I don ))
- Hendrix: Weeeellll
- Haretsu: (( 't think we'll ever get out of level 1 ))
- Hendrix: I don't think quest rewards should be divided, lest they'd be pretty worthless
- Hendrix: link me the exp advancement again
- Haretsu: *guess I'll be at the market then, checking shit out* Alright then, that should be everything I'll need for the road ahead- oh wait, extra ink. And a compass. Actually, there's a lot here I could use...
- Haretsu: (( 2000 to 2, assuming medium ))
- Arte: (( Exp advancement for level 2 is 2k ))
- Hendrix: So yeah, let's not divide quest exp
- Arte: (( http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/character-advancement ))
- Haretsu: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/character-advancement
- Arte: (( pretty sure it's on th--m ))
- Hendrix: The market is currently a bit understocked, for obvious reasons, but there are a still fair bit of misc trinkets left.
- Haretsu: (( JESUS CHRIST INK IS EXPENSIVE ))
- Haretsu: (( I'll just get ))
- Haretsu: (( Charcoal ))
- Haretsu: (( we're sketching anyway ))
- Arte: Alright, listen up, we don't want to be gone too long for the first trip.
- Arte: *nigger I have the ink*
- Arte: *and the mapmaker's kit*
- Arte: *and the map case*
- Haretsu: *yeah, for the mapmaking, I have other things I need to do*
- Hendrix: Writing items are few and far between, but thankfully, there is still some Charcoal and Chalk, as well as an inkpen (though it appears a bit rusted).
- Haretsu: Four sticks of charcoal should be enough.
- Tarron: Have we any food for the trip? Water is no problem, but I cannot create food!
- Lightkeeper: Oh dear oh joy, at last inspiration shall strike in places we least expect it~. A Lightkeeper like me will have all the light you'll need~.
- Haretsu: I came with enough for four days' travel... but we can always do some hunting and foraging along the way. It'll be good to mark such places along the map anyhow.
- Hendrix: There are about 5 sticks, so you take 4 for 20 SP
- Haretsu: *sounds good*
- Haretsu: *let the straggler who just needs one stick get the last one*
- Arte: Siegfried's got enough for five days. We'll be fine.
- Arte: *why do we need any*
- Arte: *Unless you want to mark trails, which would be a good idea if rain didn't exist*
- Haretsu: *what are you, a communist*
- Lightkeeper: *Strums imaginary guitar* I do hope that doesn't mean you expect us to chow down on that beast for our food supply~
- Arte: Of course not! It would turn out the other way around if you tried.
- Arte: Wouldn't mind, but the mask doesn't look very tasty to me.
- Hendrix: As Lightkeeper chuckles to himself, Svetlana runs up to you (Arte and Harry) with three bottles of an unknown green liquid in hand.
- Tarron: Oh my! What is in that?
- Svetlana: "I heard you were going to head out exploring today. I do sometimes wish I had your courage, but alas, I have a market to take care of and a life to live. Here, take these, you'll need them far more than me."
- Haretsu: ...? Some sort of potion I assume? *from what I REMEMBER, green = healing, but you never know*
- Svetlana: "They're potions given to me by that crazy scientist. Supposed to cure your wounds, if only by a little bit."
- Haretsu: Crazy scientist? *guess I'll take/distribute these, who wants 'em* I hadn't expected the type of outpost which would have one.
- Hendrix: Literally any sort of examination by Harry confirms that they are, in fact, Cure Light Wounds potions.
- Haretsu: *whoo*
- Tarron: (( Harry: *reads label* ))
- Haretsu: *exactly*
- Tarron: If that is true, these will certainly come in handy! It is no lie that I cannot always be there.
- Svetlana: "Dr. Bokken is his name. Lives very close by, stops by here every once in a while, but otherwise remains sheltered whenever the coot can."
- Svetlana: "Not a bad guy, but heavens do I worry for his health sometimes."
- Arte: (( Doctor Bokken http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m39okeAH2L1ruc976o1_400.jpg ))
- Lightkeeper: "I'll need not a single potion so long as I keep a safe distance. Now, are we ready and set~?
- Haretsu: I may have to pay him a visit one of these days... *if he ain't need 'em, one for the rest of us I guess*
- Arte: Lucky you. Unfortunately that type of strategy isn't an option for me.
- Haretsu: (( What is that, 1d8+4? ))
- Tarron: (( no idea ))
- Hendrix: Oh gee, the book doesn't say
- Haretsu: (( based off the caster level ))
- Tarron: Everyone take one, afterward, we set out!
- Hendrix: I'll make an educated guess here
- Haretsu: (( 1d8+... I guess it was up to 5? ))
- Tarron: (( Does it not say CL? ))
- Haretsu: (( or WAS it 4 ))
- Tarron: (( it's up to 5 yeah ))
- Tarron: (( you COULD look up Bokken (HIPPO) ))
- Tarron: (( see what level he is ))
- Tarron: (( assuming he MAKES them anyhow ))
- Hendrix: +4 apparently
- Haretsu: *whoo, first guess was somehow correct (cool)*
- Hendrix: map ahoooooooy
- Haretsu: aw shit it's a hex
- Haretsu: Which isn't... actually a hex
- Haretsu: might want to make it a hex if you can
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Import 1 of Grasslands'
- Tarron: (( Yeah hex map exists ))
- Haretsu: *thanks for the supplies and such, get on dat road*
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Import 1 of Grasslands'
- Balrog!: The perfect caravan token
- Balrog!: not that we have a caravan
- Balrog!: *sips coffee while grid is sized*
- Hendrix: holy shit does adjust grid go to ass when hexes are involved
- Hendrix: there we go
- Balrog!: Naisu
- Balrog!: Close as it's gonna get, I've no complaints
- Hendrix: *Ahem* So you set out from Oleg's place (represented on the map by moi for now) into the grand wilderness of the Stolen Lands.
- Hendrix: *mfw*
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Import 1 of Grasslands'
- Hendrix: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulR4nJtWohQ
- Donkey: Well, guess we left the other animal and the lion behind
- Hendrix: obligatory morning traveling theme
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Import 1 of Grasslands'
- Siegfried: Aw man size goes to shit too
- Donkey: you just
- Donkey: make C jumps
- Donkey: going diagonally
- Donkey: okay
- Donkey: or wait no
- Donkey: whatever
- Donkey: OH.
- Arte: Decision time, people! Which direction we going in?
- Donkey: You go from vertex to vertex.
- Donkey: Gotcha.
- Hendrix: So yeah a bit of a primer in case we forgot
- Haretsu: *indeed knowing generally what lies in which direction would be useful
- Arte: (( naw, we don't know that ))
- Arte: (( this is the stolen lands nigga nobody knows what's out here ))
- Haretsu: (( we can look with our eyes (D) ))
- Arte: (( All we know is south = ungood ))
- Hendrix: Each hex takes about 5-8 hours to cross and 1-2 days to explore. If they're forests, extend that by about 4 more hours and 1 more day.
- Arte: (( WE CAN'T SEE FOREVER. ))
- Haretsu: (( WE CAN SEE LIKE ))
- Arte: (( Each of these hexes is--fucking huge, yeah ))
- Haretsu: (( "OH IS THAT PLAINS" ))
- Haretsu: (( "I THINK IT'S PLAINS (D)* ))
- Hendrix: and it is at this point that I reeaaally wish I could open multiple instances of this damn PDF
- Hendrix: but nuuuu
- Hendrix: Each hex is about 12 miles across by the way.
- Arte: (( open one with Foxit Reader and the other with Adobe ))
- Arte: (( y hippo y ))
- Hendrix: I tried that
- Arte: (( just don't work? (HIPPO) ))
- Hendrix: it just says WOULD YOU LIKE TO OPEN WITH ADOBE READER
- Arte: (( mip ))
- Arte: (( errr...try...loading it in a Firefox tab? ))
- Hendrix: So uh
- Arte: (( I unno ))
- Hendrix: from what you can gather, everywhere is plains for now
- Tarron: We aren't going to the bandits, right? STarting to the west, is that acceptable?
- Haretsu: Well... the border to the east is a fair bit closer. We can do this systematically, and spend less time covering ground we've already been over.
- Tarron: *well we don't have a set border in-game, just a rough mile estimation*
- Haretsu: *well, the area we're meant to explore*
- Haretsu: *however you'd prefer to say it*
- Lightkeeper: "Wherever we roam, I will be sure to spread my wondrous performance to a whole new audience~"
- Tarron: (( back hippo ))
- Tarron: That does make some amount of sense! East it is, then?
- Haretsu: Arte?
- Arte: If Tarron agrees, who am I to object?
- Lightkeeper: "Eastern regtions we go~!"
- Haretsu: Let's be off then.
- Hendrix: You head out east, and everything appears to be smooth sailing for the time being. « 1d100 = 1 » (Below 5 is encounter)
- Balrog!: aw shit
- Hendrix: *Adjusts glasses*
- Hendrix: what are the chances of that
- Balrog!: uh
- Balrog!: 1/100
- Balrog!: by definition
- Arte: (( BEEAAAAR. ))
- Balrog!: NO (D)
- Hendrix: Alright, we're on the plains, soooo....
- Hendrix: « 1d100 = 39 » Let's see what mean ghoulie we get
- Arte: (( how many bears is that? ))
- Hendrix: ......
- Hendrix: *Takes off hat* I am so, so sorry Maptool hates you today
- Balrog!: we can still run
- Balrog!: is it bear
- Arte: (( >running ))
- Balrog!: tell me it is not bear
- Arte: (( COME ON. ))
- Arte: (( WE CAN TAKE SOME SHITTY BEAR (D) ))
- Haretsu: *DISGUISES SELF*
- Hendrix: Anyway, you ride out on your Caravan and from far away you see a roaming brown beastie, and it looks STEAMING MAD.
- Haretsu: *AS A BEAR*
- Haretsu: ...
- Haretsu: it just
- Haretsu: actually was a bear
- Hendrix: It was
- Hendrix: it really was a bear
- Arte: (( I think 39 was my exact roll in my kingmaker ))
- Arte: (( or 38, but cannot confirm ))
- Arte: (( because that log is gone. ))
- Haretsu: (( « 1/100/100 = 1 / 100 / 100 = 0.0001 » ))
- Haretsu: *THAT CLOSE?! JESUS CHRIST*
- Haretsu: *HOW DID NO ONE NOTICE*
- Grizzly: IT'S A GIANT BROWN BEAR IT AND LOOKS RED HOT
- Grizzly: thankfully, it doesn't seem to notice you
- Arte: *we may want to do this on an actual map, there's a few appropriate-size random encounter maps*
- Grizzly: You can now try and pass the bear, or you can turn tail the other way around
- Haretsu: *find the one we used*
- Haretsu: *I demand it*
- Haretsu: *this is too...*
- Haretsu: *I don't even know*
- Grizzly: either way, you ain't goin any further until you get past this grumpy grizzly.
- Haretsu: *but the chance cannot be passed up*
- Arte: *Shit I'm just not on my lion am I*
- Haretsu: *to perfectly recreate that scene*
- Grizzly: I don't even know where that map is
- Haretsu: *dammit*
- Arte: (( it was one of the "Road" maps Tirk ))
- Arte: (( Road8? ))
- Arte: (( 6....? ))
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Import 1 of Grasslands'
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Import 1 of Grasslands'
- Grizzly: I...don't think it was one of those maps
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Import 1 of Grasslands'
- Road: it was this one I think
- Grizzly: yes
- Grizzly: it was that one
- Haretsu: (( Prepare your anus, Arte ))
- Haretsu: (( and Samson, you've done this before ))
- Grizzly: YOU WANNA DIE, SON
- Haretsu: (( or wait you're Siegfried now ))
- Siegfried: I, uh
- Siegfried: I'm Siegfried now
- Haretsu: (( The memory lives on ))
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Road'
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Road'
- Grizzly: BECAUSE YOU BET YOUR ASS I'M OVER HERE, AND I'M READY FOR A GRUDGE MATCH
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Road'
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Road'
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Road'
- Grizzly: There's no way this bear is gonna let you past this road anytime soon.
- Haretsu: *YOU SAID IT HASN'T NOTICED US (D)*
- Grizzly: So long as you don't try and cross this road (D)
- Arte: Does anyone else see a bear on the path?
- * Agi rolls secretly to you: Knowledge(Nature) 1 « 1d20+8 = 10 + 8 = 18 » => Invalid expression: Knowledge(Nature) 1 « 1d20+8 = 10 + 8 = 18 ».
- Haretsu: *dunno, do I*
- You whisper to Agi: A large, powerful omnivore, the grizzly bear inhabits many of the world's forested hills. Equally happy consuming nuts, berries, fish, or small mammals, the grizzly is nonetheless fiercely territorial, and will chase off—or, failing that, kill and eat—any intruders it views as competition.
- Agi says to the GMs: I did not know that about bears.
- You whisper to Agi: well now you know
- Haretsu: It'd be hard to miss... let's just try to keep our distance. What's it doing up there?
- Haretsu: *please say it is walking away*
- Haretsu: *like, we're just following it*
- Haretsu: *at a very, very healthy distance*
- Arte: We have to go past it if we want to keep this path. Otherwise, we'll have to just go west after all.
- Grizzly: AI CARD, LET'S GO « 1d12 = 5 » *At which o'clock am I going at?*
- Haretsu: *us*
- Haretsu: *us o'clock*
- Haretsu: *you... bastard*
- Arte: *if up is 1, then yes, yes it is*
- Haretsu: *up is 12*
- Haretsu: *have you never o'clocked*
- Arte: *There are two ups*
- Grizzly: It appears to be walking, slowly but still walking, in your very direction because Maptool really hates you
- Haretsu: ...okay let's just... slowly... get off the trail.
- Tarron: Does he care if we are actually on the road?
- Tarron: « 1d20+9 = 8 + 9 = 17 » *Knowledge: Religion, are roads sacred to bears*
- Grizzly: THEY ARE VERY FUCKING SACRED TO BEARS THANKYOUVERYMUCH
- Grizzly: *BEARY
- Haretsu: Just stay out of its way, let it walk by, no problems here...
- Arte: I'm not taking any chances. « 1d20+6 = 15 + 6 = 21 » *Ride check to mount as a free action, if it fails, it's a move action*
- Arte: *check was 20*
- Grizzly: congratz
- Arte: *now I guess I'll get off the road too*
- Arte: *hope it doesn't go in your fucking direction because I'm the only one who can fight it : |*
- Grizzly: You all get the fugg off the road as the bear makes his daily strut down FUCK YOU lane.
- Haretsu: *this ain't as far off of the road as I was gonna get*
- Haretsu: *I'm just going to keep casually waaalking around*
- Tarron: We are very trusting of bears.
- Grizzly: « 1d3 = 1 » If 1 I have the common sense to do a percep check
- Haretsu: (( mfw ))
- Grizzly: I shoulda guessed
- Tarron: (( maptool (FEDUP) ))
- Haretsu: *this is why I wasn't just like*
- Haretsu: *moving two feet off the road*
- Tarron: *well shit*
- Grizzly: « 1d20+6 = 4 + 6 = 10 » Prepare for nat 20
- Tarron: *it cannot be hard to notice my shadow*
- Haretsu: *STEALTH CHECKS ERRYONE*
- Arte: « 1d20+2-4 = 17 + 2 - 4 = 15 »
- Arte: *well aight*
- Haretsu: « 1d20+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 »
- Haretsu: *MMMMMMMMMM*
- Haretsu: *fucking... BANGS SHIN AGAINST ROCK*
- Siegfried: « 1d20+1-4 = 7 + 1 - 4 = 4 »
- Haretsu: *SOMEHOW*
- Tarron: « 1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20 »
- Lightkeeper: « 1d20+7 = 17 + 7 = 24 » *Sigh* It's going to be all up to me, isn't it~?
- Donkey: « 1d20+1 = 9 + 1 = 10 » Donkay!
- Siegfried: (( So... ))
- Siegfried: (( it notices YOU and the Lion. ))
- Siegfried: (( congrats. ))
- Grizzly: *I AM CURRENTLY VERY ANGRY AT THIS BUSH FOR REASONS i DON'T KNOW WHY*
- Lightkeeper: Worry not, I planned ahead of time~.
- Arte: ...the point was NOT to growl at it.
- Lightkeeper: Quick, young fox lad! Start growing!
- Lightkeeper: *growling (ONO)
- Haretsu: *uh, I have Enlarge Person*
- Lightkeeper: *THAT WILL NOT HELP NOW (D)*
- Arte: *it would make you roll a 0*
- Arte: *on the check*
- Arte: *also you nat one'd that, be lucky it hasn't run at you*
- Haretsu: Start... *grabs at shin* what? Sure, fine, let me just...
- Haretsu: *doesn't have a Kitsune token yet, but let's just quick shift before growling*
- Haretsu: (Gods, this better work) Grr...rawf, rawf! Grrr...
- Lightkeeper: *Whistles as under-breath as he can*
- Haretsu: *I barked*
- Haretsu: *why did I bark*
- Haretsu: *BEARS DON'T BARK*
- Tarron: *YOU'RE JUST GROWLING AT THE THING*
- Lightkeeper: *worry not, that'll only make it angrier!*
- Tarron: *YOU ARE MAKING IT ANGRIER*
- Tarron: *oh right bard*
- Fake Bear: *bark bark bark!*
- Tarron: *WHY IS THE FAKE BEAR TEN FEET FROM ME OH GOD*
- Grizzly: RAAAAWR!
- Lightkeeper: Quick, while it's distracted! Run!
- Haretsu: *SURE LET'S RUN*
- Haretsu: *GET OUT GO GO GO*
- Fake Bear: You run, run, and run away like scared little girls!
- Tarron: Thank you! *Guess we better run then, that's like 4x speed or something but yeah we should be fine*
- Grizzly: 150 coward exp
- Tarron: (( that already divided ))
- Grizzly: yep
- Haretsu: *same as we got from the bandits*
- Grizzly: half the bear's exp, divided up
- Haretsu: *so hey*
- Tarron: (( Fuckin bears man. ))
- Haretsu: *back to the hex then*
- Hendrix: You make it past the grizzly goon! That was a close one!
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Import 1 of Grasslands'
- Haretsu: Hah... quick thinking there, Lightkeeper.
- Hendrix: Within the hex is more and more plain, but somewhere dead in the middle is a single silly-looking hut.
- Arte: Seeing that, I'm not dismounting.
- Tarron: We will have to keep in mind the bears' natural preferance for manmade paths.
- Haretsu: Bandits are one thing, but an animal like that... it'd take more than one of those potions to take care of those injuries.
- Lightkeeper: "You don't want to be in the poor company of grizzly bears, lest you end up thinner than honey~!"
- Siegfried: *friggen bears gettin more respect than me*
- Haretsu: *we ain't fighting you*
- Haretsu: *and uh, I wouldn't want to (D)*
- Arte: *So we're exploring the hex then, that takes 1-2 days?*
- Hendrix: it does indeed
- Arte: Hey! I don't think we've passed by this thing before. It bringing up any memories?
- Haretsu: None at all.
- Tarron: From me, tat's a negative. Is it safe to inspect? It should be, I do not believe bears call huts their home...
- Lightkeeper: "Oh well how would thee know? Has one ever seen a bear take pride in real estate?"
- Arte: I can only pray that I never do.
- Haretsu: (( Bears do not have any appointed realtors. ))
- Hendrix: The hut itself is, predictably, small and hastily boarded up. The sounds of boiling liquid comes from within, as well as a steady thicket of steam arising from the chimney as well as various pipes coming out of the house.
- Haretsu: ...hey now, could this be Dr. Bokken's place?
- Haretsu: (( Actually, didn't we visit him in Kingmaker? (hmm) ))
- Haretsu: (( I kind of remember this ))
- Hendrix: We did
- Hendrix: sadly I cannot find the original map used for it
- Hendrix: for old times sake
- Haretsu: (( aw ))
- Hendrix: Fear not
- Hendrix: it is found
- Arte: (( back ))
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Bokken's House'
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Bokken's House'
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Bokken's House'
- Arte: (( I uh, seem to be the only one ))
- Haretsu: (( just waiting apparently ))
- Haretsu: (( thar it is ))
- Arte: (( there's another map ))
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Bokken's House'
- Arte: (( it...it has been there (WARY) ))
- Haretsu: (( oh ))
- Haretsu: (( okay ))
- Arte: (( LK is a ? also we should probably find out what to call him ))
- Haretsu: (( wary ))
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Bokken's House'
- Haretsu: (( Is this like, Pelipper's place or something (hmm) ))
- Haretsu: (( I want to say mystery dungeon ))
- Arte: (( it's MD yes ))
- Arte: (( pretty sure it's just the regular house though...? ))
- Arte: (( but I'm not sure ))
- Arte: (( as in the player house or something ))
- Hendrix: The road is a bit dirty with squashed berries all about the ground, creating an unusal tie-dye mess around the hut
- Arte: Well, damn, maybe it IS a bear.
- Arte: *shit bear took my face
- Haretsu: (( >MFW ))
- Haretsu: (( >DR. BOKKEN IS A BEAR ))
- Haretsu: (( >THAT BEAR ))
- Haretsu: (( If he's not home, then that is canon. ))
- Haretsu: (( We just walked by Dr. Bokken. ))
- Tarron: *Guess I'll walk up and look arund the hut then, if no one else will*
- Haretsu: *naw I'll go ahead*
- Arte: Hey, watch yourself, Tarron!
- Haretsu: *or not*
- Arte: *I'd assume we'd all go*
- Lightkeeper: "Nothing wrong with an educated bear after all~"
- Donkey: *tied up, at least I can drink some watta here*
- Arte: *oh right should probably deduct...four days' worth of rations*
- Arte: *two for me and two for her*
- Hendrix: You all head up to the hut, where the door is slammed shut. Peeking inside the windows gives you a view of a scrawny looking man working an array of vials filled with rows of unknown liquids.
- Haretsu: *ain't even gonna TRY doing a survival check, eh*
- Tarron: Oh! We lucked out, it's not a bear after all! *knocks on door I s'pose*
- Tarron: *and yes after the 7th time I have seen Agi start typing and then stop the instant I started*
- Tarron: *I am turning notifications off (D)*
- Haretsu: (( Hell're you talking about ))
- Haretsu: Just look at that setup he has in there!
- Haretsu: (( MOSTLY JUST WONDERING WHY YOU'RE STEALING MONEY FROM YOURELF ))
- Haretsu: (( *SELF ))
- Hendrix: The little man is completely startled from that knock, and falls over on his stool, leading to a series of crashes and explosions from within the hut.
- Haretsu: (( LIKE, SHIT, WHY'D YOU EVEN INVEST IN SURVIVAL IF YOU REFUSE TO USE IT (D) ))
- Hendrix: He then cries "AAAH! JUST WAIT A MOMENT!"
- Tarron: Oh my! How pretty! But, ah, unfortunate for him...
- Arte: *WE HAVE FOOD*
- Arte: *I DON'T NEED TO YET*
- Haretsu: *cringe* I hope that wasn't anything that can't be replaced...
- Haretsu: (( Yeah see ))
- Haretsu: (( That's why you do it BEFORE YOU RUN OUT OF FOOD. ))
- Haretsu: (( before you -NEED- to. ))
- Arte: *ALSO THERE ARE CONFIRMED BEARS IN THE AREA*
- Arte: *THIS IS A BEAREA*
- Bokken: *Tumbles out of explosions, looks left and right* "Great Scott! Visitors from afar! You don't see those every day!"
- Arte: *YOU DON'T HUNT IN A BEAREA*
- Haretsu: (( because if you fail when you NEED to, you die. ))
- Haretsu: (( WHY NOT (D ))
- Arte: *CAUSE BEARS HUNT IN BEAREAS*
- Bokken: "For all I know, you could all be bears in diguise! I mean, you know how crafty those bears have gotten in recent years, no?"
- Haretsu: (( I'LL BEARY YOU (D) ))
- Haretsu: *oh shit is he a goblin or just very, very ugly*
- Tarron: *Is that FF artwork of someone or something*
- Tarron: *all watercoloury and shit*
- Tarron: Oh, no, we were fearful YOU might have been a bear! We did happen to meet one just recently, however.
- Bokken: "Ho hum! You could always still be after my stash too! I swear, I move all the way out here to get away from you government swines, and this is what I'm greeted with?"
- Bokken: "Well you'll never take old Bruehaha, that's what I say! Now what is it you said you wanted again, dearies?"
- Arte: All the way? Hate to burst your bubble, but you're only like...half a day's walk from a trading post, old guy.
- Bokken: "A BEAR? Did you just say a bear? Where?! I swear those bears are always after my stock!"
- Bokken: "I'll teach them not to mess with this old bird, they won't know what's coming even with those blasted sniffers of theirs!!!"
- Haretsu: Er... at the moment, I suppose we could just say thank you! We're on a mission to scout out the Stolen Lands you see, and Mrs. Svetlana gave us a few of your healing potions for the trip.
- Haretsu: Fortunately, we haven't needed to use them yet.
- Tarron: Oh, this is that man? That would explain the mess inside!
- Haretsu: Right, right, how rude of me to assume. Dr. Bokken, yes?
- Bokken: "Huh whuh? Healing potions?" The old man examines you with a magnifying glass "Can't say I've seen YOU around at the old market!"
- Bokken: "Whuh? How did you know my name? Did you ask those young children at the market or summin'? Are you secret bear spies using mind control on me? I don't just share my name with anyone, or else my name wouldn't be Dr. Bokken! (And I don't just say that to ANYONE!)"
- Tarron: Oh, no! Svetlana, it was, who told us! When she gave us the potions. We only just arrived in this area!
- Tarron: I must apologize for startling you! As amazing as that display was, it did seem unsafe.
- Bokken: "Hmm, curious, very curious. New arrivals, huh? And here I was thinking you were spies or something! But I doubt my brother has the smarts to call the aid for any hirelings nowadays!"
- Haretsu: (...she wasn't kidding when she said he was a bit off.) *remains stiff while being inspected* ...yes, like she said, we're rather new... though you should be seeing a fair amount of us, if all goes well.
- Bokken: The old coot spits on the ground in digust. "Confound that good for nothing brother of mine!" He holds up his right hand, showing off the stub that used to be his pinky finger. "Bastard cut that offa be last time he hit my mother, Desna rest her soul. But he took off right after to live in a hollow tree down south rather than face the guards, so I guess it all worked out well enough."
- Arte: The hell'd you say? (Whole family's nuts...)
- Bokken: "But nevermind MY problems, let's talk more about my problems! You say there's even more of you wandering about these parts?"
- Tarron: More? No, I don't think there are around here!
- Haretsu: *well there were FOUR teams*
- Haretsu: *we're just one*
- Haretsu: *or wait, are we the only ones sent this direction*
- Haretsu: *guess I'll reread that part*
- Haretsu: *noooo still just four*
- Tarron: (( Pretty sure only we were sent this way ))
- Tarron: (( one of the others went to some swamp area ))
- Haretsu: (( Your group of characters begins the Kingmaker Adventure Path as one of four groups sent south into the Stolen Lands to defeat bandits and, hopefully, to establish one of four new nations in the River Kingdoms. ))
- Haretsu: (( iunno ))
- Haretsu: (( oh wait, there it is ))
- Tarron: (( You kinda underestimate the SIZE of the STolen Lands ))
- Tarron: (( we're in the Greenbelt ))
- Haretsu: (( indeed I do ))
- Haretsu: (( my bad ))
- Bokken: "Well in case you don't know, I Bokken, am none other than the finest alchemist around these parts! And as much as I may hate people interrupting my fine work, I still am no hater of some cold, shiny gold."
- Haretsu: (( Greenbelt, uplands, slough, etc. ))
- Tarron: I do have some! Would you explain the variety of potions you make?
- Haretsu: Oh, I'd hoped you would be one, and not some old wizard trying to do a scientist's work! When I saw the setup you were using, I almost thought it was too good to be true.
- Tarron: *Hate to burst your bubble*
- Tarron: *But Alchemist didn't EXIST at this time*
- Haretsu: *indeed*
- Haretsu: *but guess it does now*
- Bokken: "Kyeheheheh, fine taste you have! From what I can currently sell to you, I have two potions capable of curing your wounds, two potions giving you the power to endure the elements, and a potion that heals your wounds to an even more extreme amount for extra assurance!"
- Bokken: The man taps his foot while stroking his beard. "Hmm, not quite that much when I list it out like that. I really could be making more potions, but my supply of berries is running a bit low, no thanks to that ACCURSED bear infestation"
- Arte: Bears really are everywhere around here aren't they?
- Haretsu: Has it been an ongoing problem?
- Haretsu: We saw some of the damage on the way in...
- Tarron: Yes, yes! Strutting about as if it were the owner of the pathway!
- Bokken: "Bears have always been round here, but they've decided to get wise and haul their bushy butts over to my once-comfy patch of land! Couldn't pass up all those berries it seems!"
- Tarron: Oh, well, we could help with it! You need them to make potions, do you not?
- Bokken: "Say, how about making yerself useful a bit for a weary old man?"
- Arte: ...How many bears? We just had to bail at the sight of one. I'm not looking to fight a sleuth of them.
- Bokken: "Well drat! Okay, maybe this is easier!"
- Haretsu: ...if we had the time to prepare, we could easily take on a single bear. Two, I'm not so sure...
- Bokken: "You know Oleg's place, right? About 55 miles southwest of that place is a nice thicket of fangberries that should be good for a month of proper Fangberry juice."
- Bokken: "Bring me as many of those fangberries as you can from that thicket! Here, I'll mark it on your map for you!"
- Arte: (( so about 4 and a half tiles or something aight ))
- Arte: Excuse me if I sound a mite rude, but just what is in it for us, to stick our necks out for you like this?
- Haretsu: *I'm sure I have a knowledge for what those are*
- Haretsu: *I mean, I ASSUME Magic Fang*
- * Agi rolls secretly to you: Craft:Alchemy, subtract 1 for Knowledge (Nature) if I need to use that instead « 1d20+9 = 7 + 9 = 16 » => Invalid expression: Craft:Alchemy, subtract 1 for Knowledge (Nature) if I need to use that instead « 1d20+9 = 7 + 9 = 16 ».
- Bokken: "If you help me out? You'll have the knowledge within your heart that you helped an old man out after a- okay, you aren't falling for this in the slightest, I'll give you 25% off all my potions for a month, how's that sound?"
- You whisper to Agi: Fangberries are delicious berries that get their name from the sharp nettles and thorns that grow from the plants.
- Arte: Look pal, sounds nice, not sure if it's going to cut it.
- Arte: (( agi gave up on his novel eh ))
- Haretsu: I might have need to harvest some of the crop myself... sounds like an interesting fruit!
- Bokken: (( Agi he did a seeecret roll ))
- Haretsu: (( I was mostly waiting for Tirk's reply to my knowledge roll, yes ))
- Tarron: Oh, Arte, don't act in such a way! That sounds fine to me.
- Haretsu: I'm sure we could bring back a good supply though. ...though if the bears just go and eat whatever you plant...
- Bokken: "This young lady knows what's what! I swear, you youngins get more and more needy every time!"
- Bokken: "Whatever happened to the good old days where everyone did everything to make their hearts grow 3 times that day?"
- Haretsu: (( also ))
- Haretsu: (( No one grabbed the first log. ))
- Haretsu: (( did they. ))
- Arte: They figured out that's pretty deadly.
- Bokken: (( I did ))
- Bokken: (( I just didn't put it up yet ))
- Haretsu: (( ah well you bastard ))
- Arte: But I'll stay my hand, that's acceptable enough.
- Haretsu: It's a fair bit out of the way at the moment... but we'll see if we can't adjust our plans a bit.
- Bokken: "Well good! I don't know how long I can survive off the table scraps of these ursine troublemakers!"
- Bokken: The old man looks behind him and notices a closed pot is whistling like crazy. "Great mother of Desna! She's about to blow! I thought I turned those off!"
- Arte: Come on! We don't have forever. We can afford to do a bit more exploring. But not much, we can't be gone a full week.
- Bokken: The old coot runs inside his hut, greeted to more exploding juice to the face. "Pearly stars! I won't let you get the upper hand on me, blasted formula!"
- Tarron: Ohhh..*looks inside wistfully* We truly cannot stay longer?
- Lightkeeper: "I believe that encounter gave me new inspiration for a song. I think I'll call it 'Go outside once in a while, kids'~"
- Haretsu: ...ordinarily I'd offer to lend a hand, but something tells me it'd be boiled off in that lab.
- Haretsu: At least the results speak for themselves.
- Haretsu: Yeah, let's move on.
- Arte: No, no, we've got to go. He won't croak. Come on, Siegfried.
- Hendrix: You fully explore this patch of land after that bout of strangeness, and gain 100 exp for the trouble.
- Balrogvan!: So that was the one immediately to the east then
- Hendrix: yep
- Hendrix: you may now mark it off with a red X
- Balrogvan!: Just plop down Bokken's token as a marker I guess
- Balrogvan!: How long DID it take to explore that area, Thrice is sold on two days it seems
- Arte: (( I said 1-2 ))
- Balrogvan!: well you ate four days of rations
- Hendrix: It's 1 day if you moved at a rate of 30 feet
- Arte: (( Yeah we can do that easily ))
- Balrogvan!: See this is why you ask (D)
- Donkey: Is Lightkeeper eating from my stock or does he have his own food
- Arte: *But yeah, let's go one more east*
- Arte: *and I guess I'll make a survival check to hunt since Agi's got his panties in a bunch*
- Hendrix: You rest up at your caravan and head east once more
- Donkey: my panties are always bunched
- Hendrix: you just passin by or do you plan to explore this hex too
- Arte: (( explore it, may as well. ))
- Arte: (( >mfw it's a bear colony ))
- Donkey: Wouldn't put it past it
- Hendrix: « 1d100 = 13 » 15% chance this time
- Donkey: welp
- Arte: (( m ))
- Donkey: Isn't this radishes
- Hendrix: « 1d100 = 39 » breaking news, Maptool is Maptool
- Arte: (( mmmmmmmm ))
- Donkey: ...
- Donkey: WHAT (XD)
- Hendrix: « 1d2 = 2 » 1 and I roll it again to avoid monotony
- Siegfried: FUCK IT
- Siegfried: WE ARE KILLING THIS FUCKING BEAR.
- Hendrix: nope, you're locked into Bear
- Donkey: well at least now we have a MOTIVE to
- Siegfried: IT HAS HAUNTED US
- Siegfried: FOREVER
- Donkey: but just
- Donkey: Dear god (XD)
- Donkey: LET'S JUST
- Donkey: CALL THIS YOUR SURVIVAL CHECK.
- Donkey: THIS? THIS IS DINNER.
- Siegfried: « 1d20+6 = 13 + 6 = 19 » I just nat one'd it
- Siegfried: aw
- Grizzly: AND HERE COMES HONEY BEAR BEAR AGAIN
- Haretsu: *HOPS RIGHT BACK INTO THE "ROAD" MAP*
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Road'
- Grizzly: HE'S ON THE ROAD AGAIN AND BOY IS HE PISSED
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Road'
- Haretsu: .......
- Arte: You can't possibly be serious.
- Haretsu: Bokken was right.
- Haretsu: They ARE everywhere
- Haretsu: .
- Siegfried: raumph
- Lightkeeper: "Uho, old crazy wasn't as crazy as the crazies thought!"
- Grizzly: « 1d12 = 8 » Hmm which way which way (check this 5)
- Siegfried: (( The bear is VERY INTERESTED in that rock. ))
- Tarron: Oh my...
- Grizzly: THANKFULLY THE BEAR IS TOO INTERESTED IN THIS ROCK TO CARE
- Grizzly: « 1d20+6 = 2 + 6 = 8 » my perception is brutal, just like my claws
- Haretsu: Well... we've got a good reason to help thin the area out now. Wouldn't complain about a nice dinner of bear meat either.
- Grizzly: The KUH-RAYZEE bear doesn't seem to notice you for now, but who knows when that'll change.
- Arte: ...You want to fight the thing?
- Arte: Or rather, you want ME to fight the thing?
- Tarron: We will have to face them someday!
- Haretsu: We've got plenty of ranged options to soften the thing up first! Between you and the lion, I'll bet you could take it down in a moment after a barrage of arrows and bombs.
- Lightkeeper: "I'd be aware of the bear. Just a single brush of their claws is enough to take most men down~"
- Haretsu: And THIS one doesn't notice us.
- Arte: Maybe. But one of you is going to have to lure it out from behind those rocks.
- Haretsu: ...right. I think... hold on, let me just get settled here.
- Haretsu: *welp*
- Haretsu: *this is where 23 AC comes in handy*
- Arte: (( Leap: You can get your mount to leap obstacles as part of its movement. If the Ride check to make the leap succeeds, make a check using your Ride modifier or the mount’s jump modifier, whichever is lower, to see how far the creature can jump. If you fail your Ride check, you fall off the mount when it leaps and take the appropriate falling damage (at least 1d6 points). This usage does not take an action but is part of the mount's movement. ))
- Arte: (( Yeah I don't think I can make it. ))
- Arte: (( To jump over the rock ))
- Arte: (( Assuming you CAN do that on a charge even ))
- Haretsu: *yeah I'll get it to the road*
- Arte: (( Think you can, but you never know. ))
- Haretsu: ...Lightkeeper, Tarron, neither of you have any enhancements ready, do you?
- Lightkeeper: "If you must take the beast down, don't say I didn't warn thee...." *Begins whistling in a low a tone as possible*
- Tarron: I do not. My magic is not yet one of empowerment...
- Haretsu: Between what I've prepared for the day, I should be about... 50% better at evasion than usual.
- Haretsu: *or well, 40%*
- Haretsu: *but hey*
- Lightkeeper: I know not of my abilities, but my song should inspire your courage quite neatly.
- Haretsu: ...courage. Yeah. I could use some of that.
- Arte: I'm going to need it, to rush a bear.
- Haretsu: well...*drinks one after the other, gets in place* Here goes nothing!
- Arte: That's right, I do have a bow now. But it may be better to just have at it, I'm much better at that.
- Grizzly: « 1d12 = 4 » hmm wonder where I'll go next
- Arte: *could have surprised it, that would have probably been a better idea*
- Haretsu: *well it just decided to go in that direction*
- Grizzly: The bear is about to walk right towards you all! What do.
- Haretsu: *right as I got over here, can't totally be faulted for not being able to (FEDUP)*
- Haretsu: *damn, it's BEARLY out of my extra range increment*
- Arte: *Well, I can't ready a charge, and I'd REALLY LIKE SOMEONE TO SHOOT IT A GOOD THOUSAND TIMES before doing so anyways*
- Haretsu: *I'll have to FFS*
- Haretsu: *speaking of which*
- Arte: *we gotta roll init even with a surprise round*
- Haretsu: *Tarron refuses to get within range*
- Haretsu: *that whore*
- Arte: (( her range is 80 feet ))
- Haretsu: « 1d20+5 = 15 + 5 = 20 » Init it is then
- Arte: (( the right may provide coverage though ))
- Haretsu: (( oh god, seriously? ))
- Tarron: Crossbow, light 35 gp 1d8 19–20/×2 80 ft. P 4 lbs.
- Tarron: (( fucking crossbow ))
- Haretsu: (( not bad ))
- Tarron: (( 80 feet isn't exactly a ton ))
- Lightkeeper: « 1d20+4 = 20 + 4 = 24 » *whistles*
- Tarron: « 1d20+1 = 5 + 1 = 6 »
- Arte: « 1d20+2 = 20 + 2 = 22 »
- Arte: *dese inits*
- Arte: *now I will nat one my actual ATTACK roll*
- Haretsu: *can Arte DO much of anything on the surprise round*
- Arte: *well bear how about yours even if you can't attack*
- Haretsu: *I assume it carries over at least*
- Grizzly: « 1d20+1-8 = 2 + 1 - 8 = -5 » don't you forget about me
- Arte: *I can only make one standard or move*
- Haretsu: *HA*
- Arte: *So, uh, why not*
- Grizzly: Lightkeeper, Arte, Harry, Tarron, (BEAR)
- Arte: *LK goes first though*
- Arte: (( IC is +1 to attack and damage right ))
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Road'
- Lightkeeper: (( yep ))
- Arte: (( k ))
- Arte: (( sadly, I think it has cover from us ))
- DatHair: Used this during PTA final boss, may as well get in the habit
- Arte: (( Just use a label ))
- Arte: (( not nearly as many things here ))
- DatHair: can do
- Lightkeeper: "I would dare not attack yet lest I have a death wish."
- Lightkeeper: (( time for arte to do something ))
- Haretsu: (( Could you uh ))
- Arte: Really like him to be out of there before I try and do ANYTHING.
- Haretsu: (( Start your Inspire Courage ))
- Arte: *we can delay our actions*
- Haretsu: (( that'd be nice ))
- Lightkeeper: *I did*
- Haretsu: *good*
- Arte: (( By choosing to delay, you take no action and then act normally on whatever initiative count you decide to act. When you delay, you voluntarily reduce your own initiative result for the rest of the combat. When your new, lower initiative count comes up later in the same round, you can act normally. You can specify this new initiative result or just wait until some time later in the round and act then, thus fixing your new initiative count at that point. ))
- Lightkeeper: (( well yeah ofc you can ))
- Haretsu: Not like I've got one either, but neither'm I gonna expect Arte to rush in and take on a totally healthy bear!
- Haretsu: *let's just*
- Haretsu: *hope it has 30 movement*
- Haretsu: *and not 40*
- Haretsu: *or wait, CAN I even FFS*
- Haretsu: *is that allowed*
- Arte: *So uh...guess we shouldj ust all delay our turns until right a--okay you're going to attack it this turn*
- Arte: *And, yeah, why couldn't you*
- Haretsu: *dunno*
- Lightkeeper: (( no obscure reason I can think of ))
- Tarron: (( I didn't think you'd be attacking it though hippo ))
- Haretsu: (( I said we needed to weaken it from a distance first (wary) ))
- Tarron: (( it has cover ATM ))
- Haretsu: « 1d20+5+1+1-2 = 9 + 5 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 14 » partial cover is -2 I believe
- Tarron: (( Thought we'd wait until it did not ))
- Tarron: (( does that hit touch AC ))
- Grizzly: (( what are you hitting it with again ))
- Haretsu: *lobs BAUMBO*
- Haretsu: *right*
- Grizzly: (( yep, it gets the touch AC ))
- Haretsu: *13 actually from range increment*
- Haretsu: *still a hit I assume*
- Haretsu: « 1d6+4+1 = 4 + 4 + 1 = 9 »
- Arte: *well uh, if you're going to attack it, we may as well*
- Haretsu: *wasn't I supposed to be the bait anyway*
- Grizzly: The bear roars in anger, wondering what could have possibly been as daft as to launch a ball of fire at it!
- Haretsu: *this guy*
- Lightkeeper: (( will Tarron try any funny business now ))
- Tarron: *I have nothing I can do*
- Haretsu: (( you can get in position I gues ))
- Haretsu: (( s'about it ))
- Tarron: *other than Ghost Sound I guess, but that's only 25 range*
- Donkey: Donkay?
- Donkey: « 1d20+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 » right I get init too (D)
- Tarron: « 1d20+1+1-2 = 19 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 19 » *it has cover from me too*
- Tarron: *well...that's a critical hit*
- Grizzly: On ghost sound?
- Tarron: « 1d20+1+1-2 = 17 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 17 » *No I'm just shooting it*
- Grizzly: well that sure hits
- Tarron: *Ghost Sound doesn't need an AC roll lol*
- Tarron: « 1d8+1d8 = 1 + 8 = 9 »
- Tarron: *I'll take it*
- Tarron: « 9+2 = 9 + 2 = 11 » right IC
- Grizzly: it was the best of times, it was the worst of times
- Donkey: *moves to bush, starts chewing*
- Grizzly: *NOW I'M ANGRY AT THE ARROWS*
- Arte: *Guess I won't act on the surprise round so it won't charge me*
- Grizzly: « 1d20+6 = 12 + 6 = 18 » perception ahoooy
- Tarron: Oh my, that did more than I would have thought!
- Tarron: (( Don't even bother ))
- Tarron: (( shooting it's a pretty big penalty to stealth ))
- Haretsu: *not like I'm trying to hide myself*
- Haretsu: *you're... not attacking me, okay*
- Haretsu: *I'll tak- aaaaaw shit*
- Grizzly: nope fuck it I'm totally attacking you « 1d20 = 11 »
- Grizzly: « 11+7 = 11 + 7 = 18 »
- Arte: (( pretty sure he has mods ))
- Arte: (( hipp-m ))
- Haretsu: *I assume you get SOME bonu- yeah*
- Haretsu: *thank you buffs*
- Grizzly: « 1d6+5 = 6 + 5 = 11 » die muhfukka
- Arte: *so yeah, LK's turn*
- Haretsu: *AC is 23*
- Arte: *that wouldn't hit after mutagen and such I don't think*
- Haretsu: *no hit for you*
- Grizzly: daaaw
- Haretsu: *smirks, dodges under swipe, INTERNALLY VERY WORRIED*
- Lightkeeper: « 1d20+5 = 11 + 5 = 16 » Keh, who am I to get in the way? *Shoots at it*
- Haretsu: Keeping it busy over here, gonna need a bit of help PRETTY QUICK though!
- Lightkeeper: « 1d6+1 = 5 + 1 = 6 »
- Haretsu: *do you want to delay until after I'm done*
- Lightkeeper: "Your show, big boy in brown~"
- Haretsu: *so I can use up its AoO*
- Arte: « 1d20+4+1+1+2 = 7 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 15 » *It does not get one on me(
- Arte: *and I miss it*(
- Arte: *But eh, I have ride-by attack anyhow*
- Haretsu: *15 is a miss? (hippo)
- Grizzly: look at my goddamn elv
- Haretsu: aw shit
- Arte: « 1d20+6 = 14 + 6 = 20 » to see if Siegfried can attack
- Lightkeeper: "Remember, never stay still when attacking a bear!"
- Siegfried: « 1d20+3+1+1+2 = 3 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 10 »
- Siegfried: *naw*
- Haretsu: HITTING. HITTING IT WOULD BE NICE.
- Siegfried: *That is why I have Ride-By Attack indeed*
- Haretsu: *take your AoO pls- wait no I can Acro to try to get out*
- Haretsu: « 1d20+5 = 1 + 5 = 6 » *no idea what the check is*
- Arte: Damn it all!
- Haretsu: *NOT*
- Haretsu: *THAT*
- Grizzly: I'M GONNA EATCHA BOY « 1d20 = 9 »
- Arte: (( what the hell could you do to provoke an AoO from 30 feet away ))
- Haretsu: *NAW YOU NOT*
- Haretsu: (( Just moving out of its reach ))
- Haretsu: (( as it was RIGHT BY ME ))
- Arte: (( ah ))
- Grizzly: « 9+7 = 9 + 7 = 16 » but y'know
- Haretsu: « 1d20+7 = 17 + 7 = 24 » *TOSSES ANOTHER BOMB*
- Haretsu: « 1d6+5 = 1 + 5 = 6 »
- Tarron: (( you and your you ))
- Grizzly: Aw heeeel naw sun
- Grizzly: I keel u
- Tarron: (( you have +5 Int? ))
- Haretsu: Tcccchhhh...
- Haretsu: (( +4, +1 ))
- Haretsu: (( 5 ))
- Tarron: (( +1 from when ))
- Tarron: « 1d20+1+1 = 15 + 1 + 1 = 17 » *Well, it's my turn*
- Haretsu: (( Inspire Courage ))
- Lightkeeper: *ahem*
- Tarron: « 1d8+1 = 7 + 1 = 8 » *jesus arte*
- Tarron: *You are worse than I am*
- Tarron: *I have to move to fucking ehre*
- Grizzly: *Hunches back* "Grrooowwuuggh"
- Tarron: *because people, INCLUDING YOUR FUCKING DONKEY, are cover*
- Haretsu: HELP
- Grizzly: « 1d20+7 = 10 + 7 = 17 » "GROOOOURGH" The bear slashes at you!
- Arte: *Right I have a -2 to my AC*
- Arte: *er -4, Challenge*
- Haretsu: *DUCKS OUTTADAWAY*
- Arte: *hippo*
- Lightkeeper: "The bear grows weak~! I'll finish it off!" « 1d20+5 = 3 + 5 = 8 »
- Lightkeeper: "Someone else finish it off~!"
- Arte: « 1d20+4+1+1+2 = 17 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 25 » That's my cue!
- Haretsu: *OH THANK YOU*
- Arte: *and yes obv I use my mount's space as we went over before, not where I am on the token*
- Arte: « 2d8+12+6 = 10 + 12 + 6 = 28 » *1d8, 6 from Str, 2 from Challenge, 1 from IC*
- Arte: *and doubled on charge*
- Siegfried: *Do I even need to attack*
- Grizzly: You stab the bear right in between the eyes, decapitating it's head on your spear!
- Grizzly: 300 exp folks
- Arte: Ha! I might not always hit, but when I DO hit, damn do I hit!
- Haretsu: Aha... gahaha... whew! I think it almost grazed me once!
- Tarron: *Wait what why do I have 11 HP&
- Tarron: *I should have 10*
- Haretsu: Damn, you made short work of that!
- Haretsu: (( did you save your token when you joined the server ))
- Haretsu: (( as that was your old version ))
- Lightkeeper: "What the bear could not surmise; was that shish-kebab would be it's demise."
- Tarron: *Apparently it was indeed*
- Haretsu: *yells over bearcorpse* Nice shooting back there, you two!
- Haretsu: *but srsly though fuck bears*
- Tarron: Yes! But I am just as surprised as you!
- Lightkeeper: "Long few days it has been. Were we not planning on ursine stew tonight?"
- Arte: Shouldn't waste the kill! Let's scurry on off the road first, in case any more of these come by
- Arte: .
- Haretsu: (( turn on off the computer ))
- Lightkeeper: (( you can't tell me what to do, mom ))
- Arte: (( scurry on off is a proper phrasing (D) ))
- Haretsu: Right. Far as I can tell this road was MADE by bears.
- Lightkeeper: "To a safer haven we make haste!"
- Arte: *SHIT NIGGER WHEN'D YOU GET HASTE*
- Haretsu: *INDEED COULDA USED THAT*
- Lightkeeper: *Is Expeditious Retreat close enough? (´・ω・`)*
- Haretsu: *not really, no, who uses haste for the movement buff*
- Haretsu: *either way I THINK that was stressful enough to justify staying in my natural form for a bit*
- Hendrix: The bearlands are now fully explored, so enjoy that 100 exp bonus.
- Tarron: *I think they're both your natural form you damned random dog who is following us also where did that Haretsu guy go*
- Tarron: (( Barry von Barington was the only thing in it? (SAD) ))
- Lightkeeper: "It's a suitably long night for a suitably long excursion. I take it some bear stew is in the works, no?"
- Haretsu: *uh*
- Haretsu: *sure why not*
- Haretsu: *let's just say I bought a pot/whatever back in the town*
- Siegfried: Cooking kit 3 gp 16 lbs.
- Siegfried: Leave it to me
- Siegfried: Siegfried
- Siegfried: the expert chef
- Haretsu: *oh good man8
- Haretsu: (( Right I'll brb ))
- Arte: Bear shouldn't cook any different from deer or rabbit, let's hope.
- Haretsu: You do a lot of cooking then?
- Arte: Not a whole lot out here, but I do know how.
- Haretsu: Well that's a relief. Hopefully it'll cut down on the packing. Can't say I've had a whole lot of chances to try bear meat...
- Tarron: It is exciting to try new foods, to say the least! However I hope we may eat at a more hospitable place the next time!
- Lightkeeper: *Tunes imaginary guitar while looking out into the vast expanse* "I can only hope it's nothing like involving yourself into a territory war with a carbuncle colony, because that's never any good."
- Arte: *Those are still Calumon in my headcanon*
- Haretsu: Sounds like you have a story to tell there.
- Arte: First he's going to have to explain what a CARBUNCLE is.
- Lightkeeper: "I have not a story to tell about the carbuncles. But I do have the most wondrous game to play with you kids."
- Lightkeeper: "I call it 'Strumming a guitar on the mountains'"
- Haretsu: Kids? Heh, it's been a while since I've been called a kid... just how old are you under that mask? Wouldn't say no to a game to pass the time though, not that I can say I've heard of that one.
- Tarron: Is he not already?
- Haretsu: (( is who not already what ))
- Lightkeeper: "How old am I? Under this mask? Of none importance. This is how you play my favorite pasttime, now listen close."
- Lightkeeper: *Ahem*
- Lightkeeper: "Let's strum a guitar on the mountains!" *Pretends to strum an imaginary guitar*
- Tarron: (( playing the game you tardtard ))
- Haretsu: (( he was TUNING the guitar (D) ))
- Lightkeeper: "And then you realize there really is no guitar and this whole game is in fact a non-sequitur and utterly pointless and meaningless as there is no sound coming out."
- Tarron: *exactly*
- Lightkeeper: "What happens after that is up to interpretation"
- Arte: That was the shortest game I've ever played in my life.
- Haretsu: ...I don't think I understand the rules.
- Tarron: *Right, let's sleep, and then head back to Oleggy's*
- Tarron: *and watch us roll 2 1s on the way back for encounters*&
- Tarron: *and, obv, 2 39s*
- Hendrix: You head on back to Oleg's, and hopefully it'll be smooth sailing
- Hendrix: « 1d100 = 86 » « 1d100 = 96 »
- Haretsu: *whoo*
- Hendrix: It was in fact smooth sailing
- Hendrix: You arrive back at Oleg's place, now with a few new guests to speak to.
- Haretsu: (( Our report: There were BEARS. IN THE WOODS. ))

- Keston Garess: Before you lies a knight in shining armor, pint of ale in hand, rubbing his forehead in shame. "Oh woe, woe everywhere I see..."
- Hendrix: The subjects behind him look like the less experienced types, and are probably tagging along.
- Arte: I see everyone's in high spirits today! So who's the downer?
- Tarron: *waves to the three guards who have chosen to occupy the exact same position* You are still here! What are you doing up there?
- Tarron: (( Keeps sure is mysterious ))
- Keston Garess: The knight raises his head up and turns around to the the ragtag buncha misfits. "Huh? Whuhhwuh you? You one of em....scoutin' units sent by da mayor or summin?"
- Keston Garess: He rubs his forehead "Aye, can 'ardly see straight after so long."
- Tarron: *by which I meant I was waving to the three stooges and that LK is a ?*
- Eldrich: "Oh hello there lovely. I can assure you, work is going just fine, right David?"
- Spoony Davis: "Huh, what? Oh yeah, totally tubular!"
- Ravenclaw: *mumble mumble mumble*
- Arte: *Guess I'll get off the guy now* You been drinking?
- Keston Garess: "I take it ye don't know who I am, 'eh? Well good, y'really don't need tah know."
- Haretsu: Seems they're doing well enough... I'm just going to go tie up Donkey here, back in a moment.
- Haretsu: *dammit wheelbarrow really*
- Haretsu: *I don't want to be rude*
- Haretsu: *well whatever*
- Tarron: Well, that is good to hear! Are you keeping guard now?
- Arte: I don't know you offhand. Not by sight.
- Svetlana: "Oh, well hello there! I was getting a wee bit worried about your safety. Seems you've arrived with minimal lacerations."
- Arte: Quite the accomplishment, considering the bears everywhere!
- Svetlana: "This here is Keston Garess, he just arrived here and agreed to guard the post for us! Isn't that nice?"
- Keston Garess: "Yeah, real *chugs pint* real nice guy I y'am."
- Laurie: "Oh don't let him get you down. He's just downtrodden the *giggles* affair."
- Spoony Davis: "Hah, guarding is for those losers! We may be working our asses off, but at least we're not gonna fling ourselves headfirst into danger anymore!"
- Tarron: It would be a bad idea to fling yourself anywhere while up there! You might fall.
- Arte: Affair? You don't mean that literally?
- Keston Garess: *Rubs forehead, buries face in mug*
- Laurie: "Hahah, you mean you didn't hear about it?"
- Hendrix: I probably shoulda asked for a knowledge (nobility) check before, so uh, do it now.
- Hendrix: if you have it
- Haretsu: (( I think Lightkeeper's the only one who would ))
- Hendrix: indeed nobody does
- Arte: (( if it's DC10 or less, we can make it untrained ))
- Arte: (( for what good it'd do ))
- Laurie: (( too bad it's DC20 ))
- Arte: (( mi ))
- Arte: (( p ))
- Laurie: It was the scandal of the decade! This lug here thought it'd be a good idea to have an affair with a mere lowborn woman! Did he just completely forget he's a member of one of Brevoy's noble houses?"
- Arte: My, my, more and more are cast out every day, huh? How do they expect to keep on going if they kick everyone to the curb?
- Laurie: "He has nobody to blame but himself for being disowned by the family patriarch!"
- Bastardi: "Long story short, we're here to assist old Keston with his volunteer work. Guess it's all we can do nowadays."
- Keston Garess: *Muffled from burying his face inside a mug, speaks while gurgling ale* "Ghhooaurgh yough done ggyeet?"
- Tarron: Oh! Will he be okay?
- Tarron: (( For all his love of pointless convos agi sure seems to disappear a lot when we have pointless convos ))
- Keston Garess: *Lifts head from mug* "Lord knows, I'll never restore my honor at this rate."
- Svetlana: "In other news, we're slowly but surely being restocked at a healthy rate. I hope you'll find more supplies to your liking."
- Arte: You won't be missing much, man. Regular military life is fine, too.
- Keston Garess: *Finishes mug* "Lord knows, to die at the hands of the bandits out here is my only hope for an honorable death anymore."
- Keston Garess: "But 'nuff about me. How's you doin'?"
- Tarron: Oh, posh, honor, who cares! Better a life lived in dishonor than an honorable death.
- Tarron: (( also back ))
- Haretsu: There are plenty who would disagree with that...
- Arte: Let him live and die how he wants...is what I want to say, but if he croaks, then who's going to guard this place? Those guys? *jerks thumb over shoulder in general direction of the banditos*
- Haretsu: *guess I was just stabling my donkey*
- Keston Garess: "Oh silly young lady. You speak as if you know what any of those words truly mean. I really do envy you."
- Hendrix: It's now the middle of the day here in Oleg's post. You're free to get some rest, check out the wares, or prod at some flowers outside.
- Hendrix: Also you can sell treasure here to turn a nifty little profit.
- Haretsu: *did you get the bear hide*
- Haretsu: *might could've used that*
- Lightkeeper: *I sure did not o3o*
- Haretsu: *well if no one else had objections I might as well have, not passing up chances to get resources*
- Arte: *Can you CARRY this shit*
- Arte: *also brb I need to fix my chair*
- Haretsu: *I have a donkey*
- Haretsu: *so yes, I'll just haul the bear hide over to the appropriate vendor*
- Hendrix: The hide you bring over will make some great hide clothing and armor. You get 20 GP for your hard work.
- Haretsu: *sweet*
- Donkey: and back to the stables I go
- Donkey: when does donkey get his chance to shiiine
- Haretsu: These bear pelts are going for a lot more than I'd have guessed! A week's salary for a single one? Sign me up for the hunt.
- Haretsu: ...of course that's assuming we can keep up the "no hit" trend.
- Arte: (( and chair has hopefully been repaired ))
- Hendrix: hopefully
- Arte: *Guess I'll purchase some rations*
- Haretsu: *right how many days were spent "on the road"*
- Haretsu: *or well*
- Arte: *or well, I have 3 more days' worth I guess, for an even 6, or rather, 3 because two*
- Haretsu: *guess that bear was one day's rations*
- Arte: *I'd hope a bear was more than ONE*
- Arte: *Though we have Siegfried, so hippo*
- Haretsu: *dude eats a lot*
- Hendrix: it's been 2 and a half days
- Arte: *so yeah, 15 SP for 3 rations*
- Hendrix: Sounds good
- Haretsu: *may as well grab a replacement ratio- does Lightkeeper have his own supply, I never got an answer*
- Arte: *maybe, maybe*
- Arte: *right probably should fill in the map after this session, but not right now*
- Haretsu: (( Just drop the bear in ))
- Haretsu: (( we'll know what it means ))
- Hendrix: Lightkeeper has no rations on him
- Hendrix: It's not like he keeps any money to buy them anyway
- Arte: *Well, what's there to do here, or should we set out and try to round up some bearries*
- Haretsu: You do... eat, right? Of course you do, I've seen you.
- Lightkeeper: "Why wouldn't I eat? I am only human after all~."
- Haretsu: You need to speak up a bit more. Let me get you something for the road
- Haretsu: *so yeah take four days' rations yourself, shit*
- Haretsu: *I'll get a replacement for me*
- Lightkeeper: "Oh don't let me drag you down like that~"
- Haretsu: You're not dragging me down at all - you're seriously trying to turn down what might be the only food you'll see for the next four days? Can't just set out relying on bears, gotta have that backup.
- Haretsu: Now, I insist.
- Lightkeeper: *Shrugs* "I never thought of it that way, boyo."
- Lightkeeper: "Now now, I didn't turn you down, just saying what needed to be said" *Takes rations*
- Haretsu: *four days for you then*
- Haretsu: *and grabbed a replacement for myself*
- Haretsu: (( How much are we saying bear pelts cost, anyway ))
- Haretsu: (( er ))
- Haretsu: (( weigh ))
- Arte: (( I dunno but you already sold it ))
- Haretsu: (( Yeah, but I need to know how much we CAN carry back ))
- Haretsu: (( this is a decent way to earn money at the moment, it seems ))
- Hendrix: I used Hide Shirt for the price, so I'll use Hide Shirt for the weight
- Hendrix: 18lbs
- Arte: (( they're like ))
- Arte: (( 6 pounds each, apparently ))
- Arte: (( for black bears ))
- Haretsu: (( well ))
- Hendrix: Woah hold up
- Haretsu: (( that's probably a properly prepared one ))
- Haretsu: (( hippo ))
- Hendrix: they actually list hides anywhere
- Arte: (( yeah, that'd be a tanned one ))
- Arte: (( naw, just goggle ))
- Haretsu: (( like with everything that can be cleaned off cleaned off ))
- Haretsu: (( but yeah that weight does sound right for a tanned one ))
- Haretsu: (( had a few around the house ))
- Arte: (( for untanned GRIZZLY hide ))
- Arte: (( 18 is probably accurate ))
- Haretsu: (( probably ))
- Hendrix: It's 18 take it or leave it
- Arte: *So right, guess we just gotta set back out, somehow none of us have been hurt out there*
- Haretsu: (( that's less than I was expecting I will definitely take it ))
- Haretsu: *indeed, hell'd we manage not dying the first day*
- Haretsu: *though you still lived up to your role as Zach's replacement*
- Haretsu: *except for the SECOND hit*
- Haretsu: *which dear god, ow*
- Arte: *I only BARELY missed*
- Arte: *Or well, bearly*
- Haretsu: *mippo*
- Haretsu: *SO YEAH, to the hex*
- Hendrix: We are out there in the scary brave world once again
- Hendrix: Map music number 2

- Arte: So, south, right?
- Arte: If we're to head after the berries.
- Haretsu: That's a fair ways away... but I suppose we could hold off of the intense charting until later. A more brisk pace will let us get there in a reasonable amount of time.
- Haretsu: Besides, we'll be seeing plenty of these lands close to the post.
- Arte: *huh, 5 away indeed&
- Arte: *which is about two days' worth of travel overall, considering rest, if we move at 30 feet*
- Hendrix: So which direction do you decide to tackle
- Haretsu: We'll have plenty of opportunities to get the nearby lands over the next few weeks, so I suppose there's no harm in skipping ahead. Should we get more supplies, or are we going to be doing more hunting along the way??
- Haretsu: *only one question mark
- Haretsu: *shit
- Haretsu: *who uses two
- Haretsu: *douchebags, that's who
- Tarron: Ah, we will be fine! We defeated that bear, after all.
- Haretsu: And the hide fetched a fair price! After yesterday's encounter, I wouldn't mind taking on another bear or two. ...definitely not more than one at once though.
- Arte: Uh-huh. I don't think you'd be saying that had it HIT you.
- Haretsu: ...you're right about that.
- Haretsu: But I just need to have faith in my abilities as... bait.
- Haretsu: Huh. Something about that seems wrong.
- Arte: *southwest then yes*
- Hendrix: I assume you just pass over it, right
- Arte: (( yeah not exploring ))
- Haretsu: *yeah, let's hotfoot it over there*
- Hendrix: « 1d100 = 13 »
- Haretsu: *ohboi*
- Haretsu: *it was 15 last time (FEDUP)*
- Arte: (( no ))
- Hendrix: it's 15 if you explore
- Arte: (( it's 15 when exploring ))
- Haretsu: *ah gotcha*
- Arte: (( 5 if traveling ))
- Haretsu: *so... we didn't "explore" Bokken's place then?*
- Haretsu: *well a'ight*
- Arte: (( we did I think ))
- Hendrix: « 1d100 = 54 » rollan again
- Agi is disconnected.
- Agi has connected.
- Hendrix: « 1d100 = 82 » I seriously wish to stab the guy responsible for the organization of this thing also Agi is dead
- Haretsu: *naw*
- Arte: (( welp roll one more time ))
- Arte: (( then we have to roll one with a 15% chance while exploring (TIPSY) ))
- Haretsu: *RANDOM ENCOUNTERS GOGOGOO*
- Haretsu: *IT'S NIGHT, WE CAN GO ALL OUT (D)*
- Hendrix: Wait no
- Hendrix: You're on a landmark now
- Haretsu: *aw shit*
- Hendrix: which means automatic encounter
- Arte: (( m ))
- Haretsu: *aaww shit*
- Haretsu: *wait where we are NOW or the berry markings*
- Hendrix: Where you are now
- Haretsu: *gotcha*
- Hendrix: From here you see a mighty river, winding through a gulch between a pair of hiils. An old wooden bridge spans the gulch, allowing passage over the river.
- Hendrix: It doesn't look like the sturdiest thing ever though.
- Arte: (( >bridges ))
- Arte: (( shiiiiiiit ))
- Haretsu: ...
- Lightkeeper: "Bridges! My favorite~!"
- Haretsu: Something tells me this wasn't built to handle a lion.
- Tarron: *man being level 3'd be great*
- Arte: Nope, can't say it was.
- Lightkeeper: "It appears we have reached quite the impasse. And we were so close too!"
- Arte: Don't know if it could handle me alone. I'll have to find some other way around this thing.
- Haretsu: *how fast IS the river*
- Hendrix: It's real frickin' fast
- Haretsu: *like, Siegfried COULD feasibly swim, if it's- wa- mmm*
- Haretsu: (( Damn, what options do we really have here ))
- Haretsu: (( guess all we can really do is set up camp at the moment ))
- Arte: ...Look, you guys can get over ther. I can go around it.
- Haretsu: (( how WIDE is the river (crs) ))
- Lightkeeper: "Hmm, I don't think there's any getting around this river anytime soon, eh?"
- Haretsu: (( and how do you go around a river anyway ))
- Arte: Trust me, on Siegfried I'll catch up to you before you know it. Have to hustle, but I think we can do it.
- Arte: (( go down ))
- Arte: (( southeast or west ))
- Arte: (( as in, another tile over ))
- Arte: (( Siegfried has 50 ft. movement IIRC ))
- Arte: (( And I can hustle ))
- Hendrix: According to the map, it's pretty damn wide
- Tokens dropped onto map 'Import 1 of Grasslands'
- Haretsu: We could simply set up camp here and explore the area tomorrow. Maybe while following the river there'll be an overpass, or... a slower, or narrower part.
- Haretsu: This is definitely worth charting.
- Siegfried: *I can travel like, 48 miles in a day*
- Siegfried: *You sure you don't trust me to get there on time*
- Haretsu: *I never said that*
- Haretsu: *but don't you know*
- Haretsu: *you never split the party*
- Tarron: I would prefer that. I dislike the idea of separating in a place like this!
- Arte: Well, whatever you want. Guess we should set up what little "camp" we have.
- Arte: *you seem to forget our camp consists of 2 hammocks, Agi*
- Lightkeeper: "It'll be fun, anyone bring a fishing rod?"
- Arte: *and a bedrod*
- Haretsu: *I have a bedroll and blanket, it'll do me*
- Arte: Huh? Fishing? Yeah, it's in one of Siegfried's packs.
- Arte: I can get it out quickly enough.
- Haretsu: Not here. I could try my hand at some foraging though... maybe those fangberries have spread a bit beyond that little grove Bokken mentioned.
- Haretsu: *please, please tell me he described them*
- Arte: They'd have to be mighty tenacious to make it across a river.
- Haretsu: *or that my knowledge (Nature) roll let me know it*
- Arte: I don't see flying berries every day, but it sure would be a sight to behold.
- Tarron: Or swimming!
- Lightkeeper: "Huh, didn't actually expect you to -have- fishing rods, but I won't complain."
- Arte: Well, just the one. You can use it if you like, just try and catch something. Got lots of line, though, could try and make a real simple one!
- Haretsu: They're actually fairly delicious! I wouldn't put it past some rogue bird to eat a few, then fly this way.
- Haretsu: Dropping the seeds in the excement.
- Haretsu: Either way, there's no way of knowing until I go take a look around.
- Arte: Yeah, see, we're about to catch food, so I'd appreciate it if you kept the "excrement" talk to a minimum.
- Hendrix: Right so technically this is a night camping
- Haretsu: *so it is*
- Hendrix: « 1d100 = 71 » That's a rollin' ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
- Haretsu: *any luck on the berry search*
- Hendrix: Survival check?
- Haretsu: *aw shit I don't have that*
- Haretsu: « 1d20-1 = 6 - 1 = 5 » *sad*
- Haretsu: *sad*
- Hendrix: you ain't findin no berries
- Haretsu: *guess I'll invest in it next level*
- Haretsu: *instead of Appraise*
- Tarron: *this is the only time you will ever not have Arte with you nigga*
- Haretsu: *redundancy on things that are important is not bad (D)*
- Haretsu: *I took perception, pretty sure he has that too (D)*
- Hendrix: It's now dark and late out at night. From within your sleepin' tent, you can hear the sounds of footsteps and crude mumbling from outside. It seems some people are observing you, but they'll probably leave after a while.
- Arte: *PROBABLY LEAVE AFTER A WHILE*
- Haretsu: *we ain't got sleepin' tents*
- Hendrix: whatever you sleep in
- Arte: *And yeah nobody bothered to bring tents hippo*
- Haretsu: *...*
- Haretsu: *right*
- Arte: *I'm in a hammock*
- Haretsu: *weren't...
- Haretsu: *the BANDITS.*
- Haretsu: *TO THE SOUTHWEST.*
- Arte: *Tarron's in one too I guess*
- Arte: *with blankets and shit (D)*
- Siegfried: *is this a moonlit night (D)*
- Siegfried: *Cause I have low-light vision*
- Hendrix: It's a half moon right now
- Haretsu: *I have that as well, not that it'll help*
- Arte: ...That one of you? You're supposed to SAY if you're going somewhere!
- Hendrix: from the corner of your 70% asleep eyes, you can make out a lanky figure, a bulky figure, and a small, petit figure
- Arte: (( Damn it ))
- Arte: (( it's the bandits from Sengoku Rance ))
- Hendrix: One of them responds "Shit! I dink onna dems awake!"
- Siegfried: Rrrmph...
- Hendrix: "Abort plan, abort plan"
- Hendrix: They now appear to be cautiously stepping back and correct their postures ever so slightly.
- Haretsu: *so how many of us are awake even*
- Tarron: Ohhh....what is going on? Have we visitors at this hour?
- Haretsu: *apparently all*
- Haretsu: *a'ight*
- Hendrix: Everyone except Lightkeeper
- Hendrix: and your donkey
- Arte: Unexpected, uninvited, unwanted visitors, yeah.
- Haretsu: Nnh... visitors, wh- what?! Someone's here, they didn't take anything, did they?
- Haretsu: *??? is a ?*
- Tarron: (( ??? is suitably a ?---there sh egoes ))
- Gedu: *Brushes off sleeves* "Oh I'm sorry. Did we wake you up?"
- Haretsu: *funny how that worked out*
- Haretsu: *unless it was intentional*
- Arte: (( no it's BB Hood ))
- Haretsu: *ah there it is*
- Haretsu: *oh shit it' Oculos*
- Tarron: Ohh...it is no fun, not being able to see each other...
- Montery: "I do deepy apologize for our rude behaviour. It's not nice to spy on the resting, isn't it?"
- Arte: Do that...light think you do. It'll wake us up while you're at it. And you people, start explaining who you are.
- Arte: thing*
- ???: "YOU TEWWEM! Now what brings yew widdle wuvwies all da way out heaw?"
- Tarron: *fuck off, Light*
- Tarron: *let's kick it up a notch*
- Tarron: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/d/daylight
- Tarron: *Aasimar can do that 1/day*
- Haretsu: *SHIT MY FUCKING EYES*
- Gedu: "SHIT MY FUCKING EYES"
- Arte: *exactly* AAGH! NOT THAT---Damn!
- Tarron: I'm sorry~
- Tarron: *dman it hget outta here tilde*
- Tarron: *you always show up at the worst times*
- Haretsu: NNNNGGHH- *SNAPS EYES SHUT* Overkill, much? Ow, ow ow...
- ???: "Ow it's aww okay! But downcha know it's dangris to camp all da way ouwt here?"
- ???: "Wai, ya nevah now if ya might fawl right into da rapids!"
- Tarron: *and I guess the light focus is my ring*
- Gedu: "Plus, there's some *ahem* scary people around here. We'd appreciate it if you stayed away, if you know what's good for you."
- Haretsu: *still rubbing eyes, points in general direction* They're a good... I don't know, hundred feet away? We're fine, sheesh.
- Tarron: *I doubt they're THAT far*(
- Tarron: *they were close enough to have a plan*
- Lightkeeper: *I'm close enough to have been fishin' at least*
- Haretsu: *well my eyes are currently filled with the fire of a thousand suns*
- Haretsu: *can't quite tell*
- Tarron: *It's just bright light, get over it pansy (D)*
- Haretsu: *either way it's filler for actual value*
- Haretsu: *LOW LIGHT VISION MEANS I CAN ADAPT FARTHER TO DARKNESS (D)*
- Haretsu: *BIT MORE OF A SHIFT (D)*
- Tarron: *WELL I DID IT FOR YOU*
- Tarron: *BECAUSE I HAVE Darkvision: Aasimar have darkvision 60 ft. (they can see perfectly in the dark up to 60 feet.)*
- Haretsu: *DAMN GIRL WHY*
- Haretsu: *WE HAD A CAMPFIRE AND EVERYTHING*
- ???: "Sow weawwy, why awe you awl da way ouwt hea fo'? *Temp. drops stupid accent* No really, I need to know."
- Haretsu: (( As in she did it IC or you did it because fuck that shit ))
- Arte: Scary people? Like sneaking creeps in the night? Or is it another scary?
- ???: (( she did it IC and changed to a more mature woman's tone ))
- Gedu: "You don't need to know how scary they are. Just that they exist, around here, somewhere,"
- Haretsu: We're just out he- huh, what happened to your voice...? Well either way, what do you need to know for? We're hunting out this berry patch for a friend of ours.
- Arte: Or we would be, if the bridge builders around here weren't shod.
- Arte: Hey, Light, you going to get up?
- Tarron: Oh, but I already did that...
- Siegfried: *pls no I don't like the light*
- ???: "*switches back* Oooh, so yew wannehd to cwoss dis here bwidge huh? And how did yew expect tah drag your butts over it with that many people? Let alone, wiff dat giant ol' Lion?"
- Lightkeeper: *Guuuuuu (。-ω-)zzz*
- Arte: No, no, I was referring to sleepyhead over there...this is more than enough light. Bright as day.
- ???: "Say, dere's a faw, far more easiah way to cwoss dis here rivah ya know?"
- Haretsu: We weren't... particularly well informed of the road ahead. The river itself, let alone the bridge, came as a surprise.
- Tarron: Oh! There are? We were going to look tomorrow!
- ???: "Well, sowt of. Ya hear of this place called 'Nettles Crossing'"?
- Arte: If you're going to suggest we swim, I'm going to suggest you sod off.
- Arte: Not even Siegfried could handle that. Or is this some other option?
- ???: "See, Nettle's Cwossing has been sowta out of comission for a bit, and dat weawwy makes me sad! But maybe yew strong lookin' guys can hewp us!"
- ???: "See, and I howpe ya bewwive in ghost stowies at dis point, but this cwossing here be all hawnted by this evil skeweton guy!"
- Siegfried: *huh you can apparently take ten, not that it would help us since rough water is DC15*
- ???: "You'll be dowin' us a reeeaaaal favor by gettin' rid of this ol bowney chump fow us, kay?"
- Gedu: *Scratches neck* "Yeah, a real big favor"
- Haretsu: (( I can totally manage that who told you I couldn't « 1d20-1 = 2 - 1 = 1 » ))
- Haretsu: (( exactly ))
- ???: "If yew can't find 'im, all yew gotta dew is ring da sawvice bell and he'll be right there, da bastawd!"
- Arte: Ugh! How old are you, girl?! You really mean to tell me you're still scared of ghosts?
- Montery: "Hey, HEY!"
- Montery: "You better start believin' in ghost tales bub, because we've lost a good few....uh...."friends" to that damn thing"
- Haretsu: Evil... skeleton guy? Is this some sort of guardian of the crossing?
- Tarron: A ghost! Whyever would you be scared of them? These do not technically qualify, but they are similar enough, and quite uninhibitive, almost all the time!
- ???: "Down't caww it a gawdian! It's a wuthwess muawdawaer! It gawds nothin' but hatwed and opwession throughout dese wands!"
- Arte: Hey, here's an idea. Next time you use that passage...don't ring the damn blel.
- Arte: bell*
- Haretsu: *iunno, someone wanna sense motive, call her bluff (D)*
- Gedu: *Scratches neck* "Uh, we uh...sorta have no choice, see."
- Gedu: "To make a very, very long story short, the thing only targets specific people."
- Haretsu: What kind of people?
- Gedu: "People"
- Arte: « 1d20+6 = 10 + 6 = 16 » *Sure why not, see if I can get anything offa this chick at all
- Arte: *
- Arte: *Even just "she's not fucking five*
- Montery: "Uh, listened! A few of us are cursed, okay! We didn't choose to be cursed!"
- ???: *She is most certainly not fucking five*
- Tarron: Oooh! You too?
- Gedu: "Uh, yeah. All of us are. And killin' that thing will break it, mmkay?"
- Gedu: "Do it for the sake of us man, we'll give you anything."
- Arte: Don't think theirs is quite like that. And girlie, if you're not going to ACT your age and stop believing in ghost stories, please, do me a solid and speak like it.
- Arte: How do you know these friends didn't just, I don't know, wander off or something?
- Arte: It's easy to get lost around here, we would know.
- ???: "Hey, hey, not EVWEYTHING, but how 'bout dis. We'll go thwough the twouble of getting dose berries you were lookin' for FOR you if yew just take cawe of dis damn skewweton, howsdatsound?"
- Gedu: *Grinds teeth* "They most certainly DID NOT wander off"
- Montery: "Trust me, we know"
- ???: "Whaddya mean speak wike it? You weal siwwy, mistoh! のワの"
- Arte: I think berry gathering is a bet less risky than whatever this is. We could leave Siegfried here, and cross without him.
- Arte: *glances over shoulder* I think he can handle himself.
- ???: "FINE! How does 500 Gowden Peeses sound, huh? Huh?"
- Haretsu: *so the sense motive didn't give you what we all already know, that these folks are evil and are trying to have us kill a harmless river guardian, eh*
- Haretsu: *you're an Oracle, Tarron, how's about you got something for that*
- Arte: Huh...pay half of it up front, and we may have a deal.
- Tarron: *I don't HAVE Sense Motive*
- Tarron: *Hippo*
- Tarron: « 1d20+2 = 12 + 2 = 14 » *I can TRY it*
- Tarron: *naw*
- Haretsu: *don't have a spell for something like that*
- Gedu: "Huh? Do you REALLY expect us to-"
- Tarron: (( 0th: Create Water, Detect Magic, Ghost Sound, Light, Mage Hand, Read Magic 1st: Cure Light Wounds, Obscuring Mist, Sanctuary ))
- Tarron: (( hell no ))
- Haretsu: (( Could've sworn Detect Evil or something was on the list ))
- ???: *Kicks Gedu's shins* "Of couwse we wiww! Please, hand dis kind man ouwwa munnies!"
- Haretsu: (( or well, guess it'd be Detect... not good ))
- Gedu: *Grabs leg* "OW! Wh-what!?"
- Tarron: (( evil you hippo but no I don't have it ))
- Tarron: (( I am not a Paladin ))
- Tarron: (( or an Inquisitor ))
- Montery: *Ahem* "You heard the lady. Give this kind man 250 GP, on the double."
- Gedu: *Grinds teeth* "Okay, okay. You win.* "Digs through compartment, makes really sure everyone else doesn't see*
- Gedu: *Takes out box, carefully counts some pieces*
- Haretsu: « 1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10 » *SEES*
- Haretsu: *doesn't see*
- Gedu: "Okay, here. 250 gold pieces, as promised."
- Tarron: Oh, but of course! Arte constantly seems to, when it comes to money...
- Gedu: "NOW will you get rid of that goddamn skeleton for us?"
- Arte: *counts out money, sadly don't have appraise to check if it's legit* Huh? Yeah, yeah, sure. Shouldn't be hard to miss.
- Haretsu: « 1d20+8 = 6 + 8 = 14 » *gee I sure hope it's legit*
- ???: *Claps hands, eyes sparkle* "Excewwent! You'ww be dowin us a huuuge favow for dis, and we won't foget it!"
- Haretsu: *right these are supposed to be secret*
- Arte: I'll stick to what I said before.
- Hendrix: Seems like some pretty legit dosh bro
- Arte: NOw then, this thing only show up at night? Or what?
- Haretsu: *man the last time we trusted a BB Hood*
- ???: "Don't wowwy, just wing da beww, and it'll show up any time!"
- Haretsu: *she literally disemboweled people*
- Haretsu: *and made her sister a hand (D)*
- ???: "Now quickwy, we can't stay heaw fo much wonger! I wish yew good wuck in your widdle mission, I'm sure you'll dew gweat!"
- ???: "If yew wanna cowwect da west of the money, just stay in this very spot within da next thwee days in the wee howahs of da aftanewn."
- ???: "Any wonger dan dat and we'll just sorta assume yew died, so it's a bit hawder to cawntact yew if youw wate."
- Arte: Right, right. So, names on any of you? I don't want to HAVE come looking for you, but I will if you don't show up and all.
- Gedu: ".....names?"
- Arte: Yes, those things people call other people.
- Montery: *Cough* "Real sorry, but we're sorta, um..."
- ???: *Kicks the two of them* "Nevaw mind dose siwwy biwwies!"
- Tarron: Oh, don't be that way! They may tell you if only you'd be more friendly!
- ???: "The skinny wun is Chuck, the big guy is Boo-Boo, and I'm Hunny! Don't foget it!"
- Chuck: "....what?"
- Arte: *FUCK, BOO-BOO*
- Arte: *DON'T MESS WITH THESE GUYS*
- Haretsu: (( Spoke too not doon ))
- Haretsu: (( *soon ))
- Arte: *THEY GOT A BEAR WITH EM*
- Arte: *SOMEWHERE*
- Boo-Boo: "....why Bo- I mean, uh, yeah."
- Arte: *A BEAR WITH 25 INTELLIGENCE*
- Haretsu: (( hippo ))
- Arte: ...Boo-Boo.
- Tarron: Honey! Oh my, watch out for bears, there are many around here...
- Boo-Boo: *Cracks neck, stares you down* "Yeah, that's what my momma called me, you wanna fight about it?"
- Hunny: "Oh you siwwy Boo-Boo! Now we're aaawfuw busy wight now, so yew get on dat while we hit da woad dis instant!"
- Chuck: "We hope this is the beginning of a most beautiful friendship"
- Arte: Look, Boo-Boo, unless you WANT a boo-boo from my big, scary lion back there, don't go messing with me, mkay? See you all later, hopefully.
- Arte: *man even once I learn his real name*
- Arte: *still gonna call him Boo-Boo when I kill him*
- Haretsu: (( perfect ))
- Boo-Boo: "Now, you DO know where Nettles is, right? Gimme your map, I'll mark it on there for ya."
- Arte: Good hting you mentioned that, no idea.
- Arte: *damn harry where'd you go*&
- Arte: *hands over map, why not*
- Boo-Boo: "....yeah, that's one freakin' awesome skull."
- Haretsu: *Yes I am being silent*
- Siegfried: Who drew a fish on our map
- Chuck: "Sayonara, now we gotta hit the road..."
- Hunny: *Running into the distance* "And twust me! If yew try to just wun off wiff ouwwa munnies, I'll knoooooooooow~!3"
- Hunny: *there was supposed to be a heart there, but ALAS
- Lightkeeper: *snot bubble pops* "Huh! What!? Who goes there?!* *Looks around*
- Arte: (( ξ> there ya go ))
- Arte: (( best yo ucan make on faptool ))
- Tarron: Oh ho! So people leaving wakes you up?
- Haretsu: Could have used you awake a few minutes ago, Lightkeeper...
- Lightkeeper: "Oooh, sounds like I missed something real important~!"
- Tarron: You sure did! Some...ah, interesting people showed up~
- Tarron: (( GET OUTTA HERE TILDE ))
- Haretsu: (( nope ))
- Haretsu: (( it's IC anyway ))
- Haretsu: (( leave it (D) ))
- Arte: Yep, real interesting, that's for sure...Seems we're heading east tomorrow. Or today, whatever.
- Haretsu: *are we seriously operating under the constraints that hunches are impossible bar a nat 20 on sense motive*
- Hendrix: Hmm, let's see here
- Arte: *If they're lying you can counteract with bluff, or yo ucould just have common sense*
- Arte: *er, counteract THEIR bluff*
- Arte: *not WITH it*
- Haretsu: *you can use- m*
- Haretsu: *well I doubt they were lying about it KILLING THEIR ALLIES*
- Haretsu: *but I've no idea what your 16 was for*
- Haretsu: *if not... checking to see if it was actually evil*
- Haretsu: *or if they were actually cursed*
- Arte: *just trying to sense some shit on the chick*
- Hendrix: To tell that if she wasn't 5
- Hendrix: spoilers, she's not 5
- Haretsu: *WHY WOULD YOU CHECK FOR THAT*
- Haretsu: *THAT is common sense (D)*
- Arte: *I said that as an "at least" (D)*
- Arte: *I rolled under 20 so that's about all I got hippo*
- Arte: *But uh, I'm not just...trusting people who snuck up on us in the middle of the night at a drop of a pin, no*
- Haretsu: *well you made an agreement with them*
- Arte: *ain't runnin off on em either, we're going to the crossing*
- Haretsu: *and took their money*
- Haretsu: *so that pretty much seems like you did*
- Arte: *hey*
- Arte: *250 GP for doing something that probably won't be too dangerous, or 500 GP for doing something apparently incredibly dangerous? (D)*
- Haretsu: *might've asked 'em where they got the money*
- Arte: *I don't IC know that they're probably planning to come back and kill us anyhow to get their money back though*
- Arte: *Tarron might with 14 Wis and Int*
- Arte: *or well, THINK, but it's probably true*
- Haretsu: *probably, yes*
- Haretsu: *I may with my lineage and being... actually well-read, at all*
- Haretsu: *shit, tropes existed in history too*
- Arte: (( I do assume the session's over ))
- Hendrix: No it's not over yet
- Lightkeeper: *Puts hands on hips* "OH YOU GUYS~!"
- Lightkeeper: *laugh track, credits*
- Arte: (( maybe ))
- Hendrix: It's over
- Arte: remember to save the bear
- Arte: I mean, log.
- Haretsu: was that possibly unintentional
- Arte: It was not
- Arte: Really though
