[2024/08/25 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: =^..^= Music now on! =^..^=
[2024/08/25 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hope you like 80s 'n stuff
[2024/08/25 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Last time, two or three guests got vanished from their rooms... and you all tried (and failed!) to find any clues [
[2024/08/25 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: although Mecha did find an interesting book.
[2024/08/25 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that brief recap out of the way... GGGGGGRRRRREEEEEETTTINGS, Adventurers! Other players get DMs who pit you against mighty dragons. You get a mighty dragon as a DM.
[2024/08/25 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... morning on the next day, the Earl of Blackheart is gloomy with the disappearances, only Talbot seems happy as guests are coming in droves to see a real haunted mansion
[2024/08/25 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: And the cook offers you all pies for the day, freshly baked
[2024/08/25 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: So... Mecha... start us off :)
[2024/08/25 14:20] Jassie: is the pies free haha
[2024/08/25 14:20] Mecha: I've spent the night reading and trying to figure out the differences between their gold Dragon Sonja and our Red one of the same name
[2024/08/25 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes. On the house, so to speak.
[2024/08/25 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: The names are different, Mecha.
[2024/08/25 14:21] Jassie: i was likely sleeping in some way
[2024/08/25 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: That, or eaten by a grue, Jassie
[2024/08/25 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: I do have the descriptions from the book Mecha found... they may be illuminating.
[2024/08/25 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Also lengthy, apologies for the incoming wall of text :)
[2024/08/25 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: “Rapacious, cunning, and destructive, red dragons are Tiamat's favored children, embodying the worst that dragonkind has to offer.” — Jothan Ironspell. Red dragons are recognized by their scarlet and crimson scaled hides. They have two large horns upon their head, which point backward toward their wings. They have smaller horns on their chin, cheeks, lower jaw, and in rows over their brow, as well as on their beak-like snout. They also have a backward-sweeping frill running down their necks and spine, from just behind the head to the end of the tail. They smell of smoke, sulfur, and pumice; their bodies are so warm that the air around them occasionally shimmers as in a heat mirage and smoke blows from their nostrils constantly. When a red dragon is enraged, flames flicker in its eyes and nostrils. The vanity of red dragons is often revealed in their prideful postures and the looks of disdain with which they regard all others. They are covetous, evil creatures, interested only in their own
[2024/08/25 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: well-being, vanity and the extension of their treasure hoards. The largest and most powerful of the chromatic dragons, and just the worst not counting Tiamat, red dragons are also the most fearsome and cruel. These dragons delight in ruin, death and destruction. Red dragons are known for their swift and fiery tempers — if angered, they would explode into a destructive rage and become even more impulsive and vengeful. They never forgive even the most minor offense, theft, or infraction, and will kill the offender or, if they were unavailable, instead raise havoc to inflict their outrage on everyone else. They are incredibly vain, even by dragon standards, and are supremely arrogant.
[2024/08/25 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Paw up when you want the other :)
[2024/08/25 14:24] Mecha: Paw
[2024/08/25 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Gold dragons are strong and majestic, and are considered the apex of the draconic race. Graceful and wise, they are relentless and dedicated foes of evil, injustice, and foul play, respected for their fairness and knowledge. A gold dragon's head has a short face with long and smooth metallic horns that sweep back from its nose and brow, as well as the neck frills that adorn both sides of its neck. From the mouth and nostrils descended four pairs of long, flexible muscular spines that resembled whiskers, along with the dragon's narrow eyes, these features contribute to give them a look of sagacity. Gold dragons have broad sail-like wings that start from their shoulders and extend all the way to the end of their extremely long tails. During flight, the wings move in a graceful rippling motion that resembles swimming. They give off scents of saffron and incense, and sometimes a faint smell of molten metal. It is common for gold dragons to appoint themselves with quests to promote good. Those that earn a gold
[2024/08/25 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: dragon's fury find a relentless enemy who would not rest until the utter and complete subjugation of the evildoers is achieved, either by slaying or by bringing villains to justice. A gold dragon's only acceptable outcome is complete victory over evil. When traveling, it is common for a gold dragon to assume a particularly non-threatening form in order to put adventurers at ease, as well as to observe local communities and to catch up on gossip and news of the outside world. In many cases, the dragon uses its disguise to provide help, company and comfort to those in need, or to set up traps for evildoers by using itself as bait. Strong believers in the greater good and in the rule of order, gold dragons are sometimes viewed as arrogant and dismissive. Gold dragons prefer to parlay before a fight, using their intimidating presence and insight to determine if fighting is necessary, to find advantages, and to buy time to cast preparatory spells.
[2024/08/25 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, I hope that was illuminating, although... doesn't do much for the current mystery you're involved in ;)
[2024/08/25 14:25] Jassie: ok so... metallics do exist in 1st ed dnd then
[2024/08/25 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Maybe it's a gold herring!
[2024/08/25 14:25] Jassie: LOL
[2024/08/25 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: don't know, Jassie, this predates 1st Ed by about ten years
[2024/08/25 14:26] Jassie: yea question sonja, if tiamat exists and is the pregenitor of evil dragons like reds
[2024/08/25 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmhmm?
[2024/08/25 14:26] Jassie: then does bahamut exist for the good ones?
[2024/08/25 14:26] Jassie: as their patron
[2024/08/25 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Probably. How are you going to find outr for sure?
[2024/08/25 14:27] Jassie: haha good question
[2024/08/25 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, no... unfair of me
[2024/08/25 14:27] Jassie: i'm sure there's some worshippers of him around
[2024/08/25 14:27] Jassie: or we can ask some dragons
[2024/08/25 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: that would be broadly common knowledge
[2024/08/25 14:27] Mecha: Which I share from the book with the others
[2024/08/25 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, yes, you're aware of these two draconic gods existing
[2024/08/25 14:28] Jassie: mhm
[2024/08/25 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie! Are you going to get these two to focus on the task at hand?
[2024/08/25 14:28] Kylie: Of course
[2024/08/25 14:29] Mecha: No idea why I am so paranoid but I look for the cat
[2024/08/25 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, Mecha.
[2024/08/25 14:29] Jassie: lol, trying to be a cat mum again
[2024/08/25 14:29] D20: Mecha rolls 20
[2024/08/25 14:29] Kylie: Cats are always up to no good
[2024/08/25 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hmm. Cat? What cat? There's no cat. Talbot sees you looking around. "Is everything all right...?"
[2024/08/25 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie! What you going to do/say to move this investigation onwards?
[2024/08/25 14:30] Kylie: Has anything been brought into the house around the time the disapearances began
[2024/08/25 14:30] Mecha: Saw a cat around here and have a theory, was hoping to find them again
[2024/08/25 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talbot: "Not that I can recall. The disappearances just started, at about the same time that visitor numbers started to pick up. Maybe the Beast doesn't care for intrusions."
[2024/08/25 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie?
[2024/08/25 14:33] Jassie: hmmm, and these disappearances, do we have any info on who these guests are specifically?
[2024/08/25 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's about four hundred disappearances so far.
[2024/08/25 14:33] Jassie: but the most recent ones at least
[2024/08/25 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Other than they all booked a night at the Blackheart Manor? No.
[2024/08/25 14:34] Jassie: say the latest 5?
[2024/08/25 14:34] Jassie: or the most recent night
[2024/08/25 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Again.... no obvious pattern. Random rooms, random people.
[2024/08/25 14:35] Jassie: "hmmm, maybe i'm too dumb for this." giggles to herself
[2024/08/25 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Cook: Don't let your pies go cold! I'll have another batch for lunchtime.
[2024/08/25 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: eh, you got WIS 15.
[2024/08/25 14:35] Jassie: oh yes yes, maybe pies would help\
[2024/08/25 14:35] Jassie: Wisdom isnt intellect though
[2024/08/25 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: They're fresh, warm tasty. If the Manor closes, at least the Cook should do alright.
[2024/08/25 14:36] Jassie: isnt investigation etc all an int thing
[2024/08/25 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, wisdom is reasoning ability.
[2024/08/25 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Intelligence is more recall
[2024/08/25 14:36] Jassie: yea, so not investigation
[2024/08/25 14:36] Kylie: Suspicusly examines the pies and then eats one looking at the insides after each bite
[2024/08/25 14:36] Jassie: OHHHH
[2024/08/25 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll a d20, Kylie.
[2024/08/25 14:37] Jassie: (ala sweeney todd??)
[2024/08/25 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Must roll under 5.
[2024/08/25 14:37] D20: Kylie rolls 13
[2024/08/25 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a meat pie.
[2024/08/25 14:37] Jassie: damn
[2024/08/25 14:37] Kylie: of course
[2024/08/25 14:37] Kylie: of course
[2024/08/25 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Got an idea, Jassie?
[2024/08/25 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20 awaits, if so!
[2024/08/25 14:38] Jassie: hmmm... do i notice kylie checking out the pie?
[2024/08/25 14:38] Jassie: if so i will do so just to check
[2024/08/25 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll it anyway... must roll under 15
[2024/08/25 14:38] D20: Jassie rolls 17
[2024/08/25 14:38] Jassie: bah
[2024/08/25 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmm. It's a meat pie.
[2024/08/25 14:39] JD Wayne: But what kind of meat?
[2024/08/25 14:39] Jassie: and a delicious one i would say
[2024/08/25 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Herring? :)
[2024/08/25 14:39] JD Wayne: lol
[2024/08/25 14:39] Mecha: I am focusing on investigating, not only for the cat but checking out the rooms where the disappearances happened
[2024/08/25 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, Mecha
[2024/08/25 14:40] Jassie: what exactly are you looking for Mecha? so i can possibly help u out with it
[2024/08/25 14:41] D20: Mecha rolls 6
[2024/08/25 14:41] Mecha: Any signs of struggle damage to anything around the rooms
[2024/08/25 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, you found the cat, curled up on your bed snoozing. In the upper hallway, another huge painting of a serpentine gold dragon curled about a tower, hunched over to talk to a woman in robes, again titled Sonja y Ddraig Aur. And, you find various panels in the room sound hollow
[2024/08/25 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: One of the doors has been burst open, the other smashed to matchwood. But, that's not from any beast, unless you got beasts in the party.
[2024/08/25 14:43] Jassie: hmmm... i'll try to follow along with mecha
[2024/08/25 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, roll under 15
[2024/08/25 14:44] Jassie: hmmm is it busted from the hinges etc?
[2024/08/25 14:44] Jassie: can i possibly tell what may have broken it
[2024/08/25 14:44] D20: Jassie rolls 2
[2024/08/25 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's more smashed to pieces from a dwarven axe, +1 if I recall right, Kylie? :P
[2024/08/25 14:45] Mecha: Not likely one of our group smashed it in last night. I am also checking the windws for any scratch marks
[2024/08/25 14:45] Kylie: yes it was and costly
[2024/08/25 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie also notes some hollow sounding panels.
[2024/08/25 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: However, no scratch marks on the windows.
[2024/08/25 14:46] Jassie: hmmm... can i try to knock on these hollow panels and follow along them
[2024/08/25 14:46] JD Wayne: hollow panels - - - could be false walls, to hide something?
[2024/08/25 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: sure, you knock on a panel, hollow. Next panel... solid.
[2024/08/25 14:46] Jassie: well, looks around to see if anyone is around and bust it open with my warhammer
[2024/08/25 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Could be. Could be a barrel of herrings hidden behind ;)
[2024/08/25 14:47] JD Wayne: lol
[2024/08/25 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....you're going to... what???
[2024/08/25 14:47] Jassie: bust open the panel
[2024/08/25 14:47] Mecha: If I see this I move to stop that from happening
[2024/08/25 14:47] Jassie: hmm? whats up mecha?
[2024/08/25 14:48] Jassie: i've been following her the whole time so you likely noticed
[2024/08/25 14:48] Mecha: IF they are false panels we can find a trigger or something. We keep breaking stuff and we will not be around to figure this out.
[2024/08/25 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talbot comes running. "What are you doing!? That's antique oak panelling!!!"
[2024/08/25 14:49] Jassie: OKOK. its hollow and just wanted to check what its holding behind or possibly a hidden path etc
[2024/08/25 14:49] Jassie: puts away my warhammer
[2024/08/25 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talbot: (stroking the wood panel): "It's over five hundred years old! Good lord! Barbarians!"
[2024/08/25 14:49] Mecha: okay so we look first or ask." As she sees talbot."Do you know anything about any back tunnels or hidden areas the public would not know about?"
[2024/08/25 14:49] Kylie: Asks talbot if he knows why it is hollow
[2024/08/25 14:50] Jassie: hey i'm a cleric of Selune! not a barbarian!!
[2024/08/25 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talbot: "It's an ancient manor house. Probably infested with secret panels."
[2024/08/25 14:53] Mecha: I look at Talbot. "I am going to do my best to keep any more destruction from happening. Now would you know of any secret panels on your own so we can start somewhere?"
[2024/08/25 14:53] Jassie: well... if its infested with secret panels and all, might be some way our "beast" is getting around
[2024/08/25 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: c'mon! Let's go over what we saw last night... a hulking figure in the garden. A loud wail from downstairs. Visitors vanishing upstairs.
[2024/08/25 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talbot: "We nailed the panels closed long ago. It was getting draughty and the Manor was losing money hand over fist. We had to economize, reduce drafts."
[2024/08/25 14:55] Mecha: I'm going to nod and head to the garden Looking at Jassie and Kylie."Care to join me?"
[2024/08/25 14:55] Jassie: of course!
[2024/08/25 14:56] Jassie: sorry about that though talbot, will keep it in mind.
[2024/08/25 14:56] Kylie: Maybe we sould examine downsairs for the source of the wail
[2024/08/25 14:56] Jassie: yea that may not be a bad idea
[2024/08/25 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: The grounds are big, expansive... muddy. Lots of people wandering about, and there's a staff member by a big cart with a cage on it. "And THIS is the cart the thirteenth Earl was dragged to the hanging tree in! Talking of the hanging tree, it's that big oak tree there..."
[2024/08/25 14:58] Jassie: "we really need to check that oak tree out." motions to mecha and kylie
[2024/08/25 14:58] Mecha: If you two want to do that you can I am going to check the garden for tracks. She says before going out. Hearing that she goes to check out the tree first
[2024/08/25 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, Jassie, Mecha
[2024/08/25 14:58] D20: Jassie rolls 12
[2024/08/25 14:59] D20: Mecha rolls 17
[2024/08/25 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: You're pretty sure this is actually a horse chestnut tree. It's got branches... a thick trunk... roots... leaves... probably about sixty, seventy, eighty years old.
[2024/08/25 14:59] Kylie: Goes as whell to examine the oak tree
[2024/08/25 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hmm. You see a lot of trampled dirt, Mecha.
[2024/08/25 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, Kylie. Must roll under 5
[2024/08/25 15:00] D20: Kylie rolls 6
[2024/08/25 15:00] Jassie: horse chestnuit tree? so not actually oak?
[2024/08/25 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a tree. Might be an oak tree.
[2024/08/25 15:00] Jassie: lol
[2024/08/25 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Indeed not... and suspiciously young.
[2024/08/25 15:01] Jassie: hmmm... do we have any information on when the thirteenth earl was from?
[2024/08/25 15:01] Jassie: like how long ago
[2024/08/25 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... the current Earl is the twenty fifth...
[2024/08/25 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: so unless the Earls lasted only five years each...
[2024/08/25 15:02] Kylie: Should i hack the tree with my axe?
[2024/08/25 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl facepalms
[2024/08/25 15:03] Jassie: ehhh might be a bad idea Kylie
[2024/08/25 15:03] Jassie: the caretakers and all can get kinda pissy about it
[2024/08/25 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Why does the party always resort to chopping things up or down...
[2024/08/25 15:03] Kylie: ok I wont
[2024/08/25 15:03] Jassie: easy way hehe
[2024/08/25 15:03] Kylie: Hacking unknow wood was bad in our last quest
[2024/08/25 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Well. Looking about... you're -fairly- sure this is roughly where you saw that big figure heading for last night.
[2024/08/25 15:04] Mecha: I'm going to look for a garden shed for groundskeepers. Somehow I doubt Talbot does lawn care
[2024/08/25 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hmmm... no shed... but... you -do- notice under a large elderly tree... what looks like a great big hole
[2024/08/25 15:06] Mecha: I'm going to investigate the hole but not enter. I will also wave Jassie and Kylie over
[2024/08/25 15:06] Jassie: goes over!!
[2024/08/25 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2024/08/25 15:07] Jassie: all of us?
[2024/08/25 15:07] D20: Mecha rolls 7
[2024/08/25 15:08] Kylie: Follows Mecha to examine
[2024/08/25 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, Mecha, Jassie... and Kylie!
[2024/08/25 15:08] D20: Kylie rolls 16
[2024/08/25 15:08] D20: Jassie rolls 20
[2024/08/25 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... why don't you get these rolls in combat?
[2024/08/25 15:08] Jassie: lol
[2024/08/25 15:08] Jassie: dice curse
[2024/08/25 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: At least Mecha managed to hear a -very- faint snoring, from what sounds like a -big- creature
[2024/08/25 15:09] Mecha: I'm going to dip my head in the hole to look. Doing my best to keep quiet
[2024/08/25 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hmmm
[2024/08/25 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: DEX check if you want to do that... I'll allow a +2 bonus. Remember your DEX is 9, so, roll under 11.
[2024/08/25 15:11] Jassie: how big is the hole exaclty, and can all of us fit in
[2024/08/25 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Big enough for two of you, easily
[2024/08/25 15:11] D20: Mecha rolls 10
[2024/08/25 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: jeee-zus....
[2024/08/25 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, you look in... and see a big furry body, it snorts and smacks it's lips and snores again.
[2024/08/25 15:13] Jassie: i motion to mecha if she sees anything and all
[2024/08/25 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's dark in the hole, that's all you can see. Unless you plan flinging in a lit torch?
[2024/08/25 15:14] Mecha: I pull my head out and whisper quietly."Go get Talbot. If this turns into a fight with destruction he should be aware
[2024/08/25 15:15] Jassie: oh ok. goes to try and find him, stay safe you two!
[2024/08/25 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Lots of snores come from the hole. Talbot comes, shaking his head all the way, clearly annoyed. "That's NOT the Beast! Since when did supernatural beasts -snore-?"
[2024/08/25 15:15] Kylie: We would never be involved in a fight without distruction
[2024/08/25 15:16] Jassie: well, what is it then??
[2024/08/25 15:16] Jassie: we just wanted to be sure
[2024/08/25 15:16] Mecha: It might sleep during the day. UNless you have a bear or a big dog
[2024/08/25 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talbot: "I don't know... a fox! Yes, foxes. That's what it is."
[2024/08/25 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: ( were you expecting "herrings" :P )
[2024/08/25 15:17] Jassie whispers: " sigh, guess we just gotta check it out, on our own. just a heads up if anything happens.
[2024/08/25 15:17] Jassie whispers: "
[2024/08/25 15:17] Jassie: oops not whispering
[2024/08/25 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talbot walks away, shaking his head, muttering "Got to tell the Earl... these people are idiots..."
[2024/08/25 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: What you doing, Jassie?
[2024/08/25 15:18] JD Wayne: JD was expecting "Herrings!!" *winks*
[2024/08/25 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: *GIGGLES*
[2024/08/25 15:19] Jassie: "well.... i guess we just gotta check it out on our own then." goes back to mecha etc
[2024/08/25 15:20] Mecha: I sigh and look at them."If this is the thing we need to be sure and if so the people outside are going to freak so I say we throw something at it to wake it up and as it comes out if it seems threatening we beat it down.
[2024/08/25 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, who's doing what?
[2024/08/25 15:21] Jassie: well, guess we flinging a torch in at it?
[2024/08/25 15:21] Jassie: whatever it is?
[2024/08/25 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, yes, fling fire at something, that should end well
[2024/08/25 15:22] Jassie: well at most its a tpk hehe
[2024/08/25 15:22] Kylie: I am going to shoot an arrow at it
[2024/08/25 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: true.
[2024/08/25 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: a flaming arrow?
[2024/08/25 15:22] Jassie: ah yea better idea kylie hehe
[2024/08/25 15:22] Mecha: I was thinking a rock or something but hey, you do you
[2024/08/25 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha! Save the party from themselves.... again
[2024/08/25 15:23] Jassie: maybe throw a torch near it, just to wake it up and possibly get a better vision
[2024/08/25 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... okay... d20
[2024/08/25 15:23] D20: Kylie rolls 8
[2024/08/25 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: The torch goes bounce and clattering into the hole. There's a loud snort, and an annoyed grunt, then a sudden spray of dirt as a huge black bear rushes out of the hole, blinking and looking about.
[2024/08/25 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Out of interest... who did NOT eat their pie this AM?
[2024/08/25 15:25] Kylie: I dont recall MEcha eating it
[2024/08/25 15:25] Jassie: (lol we getting a revenant scene here?))
[2024/08/25 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Could be a red herring scene... I won't reveal which)
[2024/08/25 15:25] Mecha: I did not.. Don't think I ate any pie since arrival
[2024/08/25 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: The bear blinks, peering about, then sniffs... heads to Mecha, and nudges her, sniffing loudly
[2024/08/25 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Was that "relevant" or "revenant"?)
[2024/08/25 15:27] Jassie: (revenant, u know the bear scene with Leo?)
[2024/08/25 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: (No?)
[2024/08/25 15:28] Mecha: I look at the bear and lightly pet it."Sorry for waking ya buddy."
[2024/08/25 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: The bear snorts and nudges Mecha again, insistantly, looking for that pie
[2024/08/25 15:29] Jassie: ermmm think our furry friend here wants something...
[2024/08/25 15:31] Mecha: Yeah, any idea what? I don't have any food for him.
[2024/08/25 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Other than the pie you didn't eat?
[2024/08/25 15:32] Jassie: "i dont know?" shrugs, anything in those pockets of yours that a bear might like mecha??
[2024/08/25 15:32] Mecha: I didn't bring it out with me
[2024/08/25 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: The bear gives one last sniff, snorts in annoyance and looks round, starts padding to the house.
[2024/08/25 15:33] Jassie: well... we may have a possible attacker now though....
[2024/08/25 15:33] Mecha: I'm going to follow the bear and see what is going on."One of you check the hole see if there is anything down there
[2024/08/25 15:34] Jassie: other than bear poo and pee? suire sure
[2024/08/25 15:34] Kylie: I'm following mecha without chopping tree down
[2024/08/25 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Who is looking down the hole?
[2024/08/25 15:34] Jassie: me
[2024/08/25 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, d20
[2024/08/25 15:35] Kylie: oh shoot there was a hole
[2024/08/25 15:36] D20: Jassie rolls 1
[2024/08/25 15:36] Jassie: well i probably found nothing haha
[2024/08/25 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... that's a perfect result. It's a CHECK, not a TO HIT.
[2024/08/25 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: You see nothing. A bed of leaves is about it.
[2024/08/25 15:37] Jassie: oh, sorry its always higher is better in 5E hehe
[2024/08/25 15:38] Mecha: HEY TALBOT ! Company is coming!
[2024/08/25 15:38] Jassie: well i'll just look through the leaves without disturbing it too much, dont wanna mess up Bear-chan's bed
[2024/08/25 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Meanwhile the bear is making a beeline for the back of the house... the kitchen, it seems...
[2024/08/25 15:41] Jassie: anything in the leaves?
[2024/08/25 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: more leaves.
[2024/08/25 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: (I shoulda said "herrings")
[2024/08/25 15:42] Jassie: oh well, back to catch up with mecha and kylie
[2024/08/25 15:42] Kylie: Folles the bear to the kitchen to observe it
[2024/08/25 15:42] Jassie: (hahaha)
[2024/08/25 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: The bear sniffs around the door to the kitchen and shoulders it open. There is Talbot and the Cook, hacking away at a suspicious-looking carcass. "Chop them into small pieces, Cook! That blasted party is sniffing too close to things, we must get this one stewed and disposed of immediately." Cook: "Of course, Talbot!"
[2024/08/25 15:44] Mecha: Hi kids, what are ya up to?!
[2024/08/25 15:45] Jassie: (lol shoulda stealth bonked em hehe)
[2024/08/25 15:46] Mecha: *Bear busting in would have ruined that anyway*
[2024/08/25 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talbot and the Cook look round, bloody cleavers raised. "What are you doing here... Why did you wake the bear! We're trying to make the next batch of pies here! Get out!"
[2024/08/25 15:47] Kylie: That looks like a weird type of meet for a meat pie
[2024/08/25 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, Kylie
[2024/08/25 15:47] D20: Kylie rolls 11
[2024/08/25 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're pretty sure it's chicken.
[2024/08/25 15:48] Jassie: lol
[2024/08/25 15:48] Mecha: Does it look like chicken to Me?
[2024/08/25 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2024/08/25 15:49] D20: Mecha rolls 5
[2024/08/25 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's not chicken! It's the flayed and hacked up remains of a human being!
[2024/08/25 15:50] Jassie: (hooboy, really sweney todd here.))
[2024/08/25 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: (And -you- two ate the pies....)
[2024/08/25 15:52] Mecha: So your pies are really popular aren't they?" Draws her hammer.
[2024/08/25 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talbot and the Cook face you, cleavers raised. "Right... think it's time to get another batch - or three - ready."
[2024/08/25 15:54] Mecha: I look at the bear and point to talbot."He has some food, go get him." Not sure if the bear understands or not as she turns to face the cook.
[2024/08/25 15:54] Kylie: Breaks pot with lucky axe
[2024/08/25 15:54] Jassie: (still catching up i would say)
[2024/08/25 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: The bear wanders to the table and starts to munch on the remains.
[2024/08/25 15:55] Mecha: Not what I expected
[2024/08/25 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: we fightin'? Roll initiative!
[2024/08/25 15:55] Jassie: (running to where mecha and kylie went)
[2024/08/25 15:55] D20: Kylie rolls 5
[2024/08/25 15:55] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 16
[2024/08/25 15:55] Jassie: (maybe skp a turn likely)
[2024/08/25 15:55] D20: Jassie rolls 18
[2024/08/25 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2024/08/25 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2024/08/25 15:56] D20: Mecha rolls 17
[2024/08/25 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: where are those rolls in combat?
[2024/08/25 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Let's find out... Jassie, what you doing?
[2024/08/25 15:57] Jassie: (hehe now we gonna get cursed)
[2024/08/25 15:57] Jassie: running to catch up
[2024/08/25 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're there, you can act
[2024/08/25 15:57] Jassie: oh ok, i still dont know what the meat is right?
[2024/08/25 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... it's probably rather obvious at this point
[2024/08/25 15:58] Jassie: i look at Talbot and the cook and at the meat almost puke....
[2024/08/25 15:58] Jassie: take out the warhammer and just go swinging at them

[2024/08/25 16:01] Jassie: (u know u likely just permanently mentally scarred Jassie right sonja? she's never gonna be able to recover from this as a cleric of selune LOL)
[2024/08/25 16:01] Jassie: there's the curse
[2024/08/25 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... miss....

[2024/08/25 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Little bit injured.
[2024/08/25 16:02] Kylie: I swing at talbot in vengance with lucky axe
[2024/08/25 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Cook hacks at Mecha
[2024/08/25 16:03] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 12
[2024/08/25 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Narrow miss with a knife!
[2024/08/25 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie, d20!
[2024/08/25 16:03] D20: Kylie rolls 2
[2024/08/25 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl sighs
[2024/08/25 16:03] Jassie: there it is
[2024/08/25 16:04] Jassie: I mutter out loud... "i ate that!! I!!" and shove talbot back and goes for a swing on his head
[2024/08/25 16:05] D20: Jassie rolls 3
[2024/08/25 16:05] Jassie: hahaha
[2024/08/25 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh my.
[2024/08/25 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2024/08/25 16:05] Mecha: I mutter,"A lot of people ate that." As I take another swing
[2024/08/25 16:05] D20: Mecha rolls 9
[2024/08/25 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hit, actually. STR and bonus for magic weapon.
[2024/08/25 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: d8
[2024/08/25 16:06] D8: Mecha rolls 1
[2024/08/25 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl groans RL
[2024/08/25 16:06] Jassie: hehe
[2024/08/25 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Actually, it's still effectively a 6....
[2024/08/25 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Badly injured now
[2024/08/25 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Talbot throws down his cleaver. "Give it up, Cook... we can't win this."
[2024/08/25 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Looks like you win the fight after all :P
[2024/08/25 16:09] Jassie: starts puking
[2024/08/25 16:10] Mecha: Someone go get the head of the house and we can wrap this up, but none of the other guests
[2024/08/25 16:10] Jassie: ok for the sake of rp sonja hehe, i'm gonna roll something and u can tell me what kind of mental scarring i'm gonna get haha
[2024/08/25 16:10] Jassie: we can settle it next session
[2024/08/25 16:11] Jassie: its doubly worse for me as a cleric i think
[2024/08/25 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: The Earl comes quickly, and of course demands an explaination. The Cook and Talbot confess to all, murdering guests for their cash, and disposing of the bodies in the pies, and then selling the pies, and of course the Manor got popular... but they did it to save the Manor!
[2024/08/25 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: I think you might go vegan, Jassie :P
[2024/08/25 16:12] Jassie: omg, RL me would hate me here
[2024/08/25 16:12] Jassie: haha
[2024/08/25 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: The Earl is not amused. "Not like this! Good heavens... summon the militia, arrest these criminals!"
[2024/08/25 16:12] Jassie: ok that works
[2024/08/25 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: It would seem you solved the mystery of Blackheart Manor, but, you may be put off meat pies for life.
[2024/08/25 16:13] Jassie: all meat
[2024/08/25 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: don't blame you
[2024/08/25 16:13] Jassie: and i'll be praying alot for forgiveness
[2024/08/25 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, that was a bit different... paws up who liked?
[2024/08/25 16:13] Jassie: yay!
[2024/08/25 16:13] Kylie: Not having Tortierre tomorrow as planned
[2024/08/25 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: *GIGGLES*
[2024/08/25 16:14] Jassie: like here!
[2024/08/25 16:14] Kylie: Paw
[2024/08/25 16:14] Mecha: I look at the earl."You now have a decision to make. You can either let everyone know about this or keep it silent. We can not make that decision for you. but those missing people had families."
[2024/08/25 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: alright... quick show of paws... who's got to dash off, who wants to see what happens next? I got the next one ready ^ ^
[2024/08/25 16:15] Jassie: i have to do handing over in about 10-15mins
[2024/08/25 16:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: I dunno, Mecha, I think the Earl is now bankrupt!
[2024/08/25 16:15] Mecha: I think so as well.
[2024/08/25 16:15] Kylie: I have time
[2024/08/25 16:16] Jassie: he can always join us and get back into adventuring
[2024/08/25 16:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: unlikely....
[2024/08/25 16:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: So... shall we make a start on the next one?
[2024/08/25 16:16] Jassie: i mean it is an option for him, judging by his ability for fighting
[2024/08/25 16:17] Jassie: ok but fast one
[2024/08/25 16:17] Jassie: or at least what seems to be ability for fighting
[2024/08/25 16:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: ======
