[2024/10/20 13:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: we might not have Poppy or Nero
[2024/10/20 13:55] Autolycus: Hi
[2024/10/20 13:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: I think Jassie should show... despite being dead ;)
[2024/10/20 13:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: who else is there as a rule
[2024/10/20 13:55] /me Dina: Hello :)
[2024/10/20 13:58] Autolycus: Who brought Cheetos?
[2024/10/20 13:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: dunno but you got my pizza there
[2024/10/20 13:58] Autolycus: :)
[2024/10/20 13:58] Jassie: heya
[2024/10/20 13:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie :)
[2024/10/20 13:59] /me Dina: Hello Jassie :)
[2024/10/20 13:59] Jassie: hello
[2024/10/20 14:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: I've got it here that Autolycus went up a level... need a D4 there for gained hp
[2024/10/20 14:00] Autolycus: oh! Let me look
[2024/10/20 14:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: and sometime I need to go over these sheets and make sure there's nothing silly
[2024/10/20 14:01] Autolycus: Level 3 right?
[2024/10/20 14:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: yep
[2024/10/20 14:01] D4: Autolycus rolls 1
[2024/10/20 14:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: looks like hp for lvl 2
[2024/10/20 14:01] Autolycus: rats
[2024/10/20 14:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh, reroll that
[2024/10/20 14:01] D4: Autolycus rolls 3
[2024/10/20 14:01] Autolycus: better
[2024/10/20 14:02] Autolycus: HP 9 I believe
[2024/10/20 14:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: yep... you got leather +1, that +1 goes to certain saving throws (ie., most of them)
[2024/10/20 14:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thats' right
[2024/10/20 14:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha: remember you got a slightly cursed sword +2 and an occasional cat
[2024/10/20 14:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: also a lucky cat figurine that can alter a d20 roll
[2024/10/20 14:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: and a potion of growth
[2024/10/20 14:03] Mecha: /me nods
[2024/10/20 14:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Not sure why it says "scroll" :)
[2024/10/20 14:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... guess we might as well start :)
[2024/10/20 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: I am now streaming music at: http://81.133.27.194:8000
[2024/10/20 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's either suitable mood music or my ipod library. Feel free to tune in!
[2024/10/20 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: =^..^= Music now on! =^..^=
[2024/10/20 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Hope you like my random ipod list of mostly 80s)
[2024/10/20 14:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... last week... we had a slightly failed attempt to snatch the Dreamstone, only to find it was a mere decoy. And, someone made the ultimate sacrifice.
[2024/10/20 14:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: (On any other sim a naked catgirl falling in would be odd. Here, I don't even blink.)
[2024/10/20 14:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, everyone is flying on the back of Sonja y Ddraig Goch to Castlepass, arriving late in the day.
[2024/10/20 14:08] Autolycus: Are we there yet?
[2024/10/20 14:08] Autolycus: I gotta pee
[2024/10/20 14:08] Autolycus: Im hungry
[2024/10/20 14:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch lands just outside Castlepass. By now, the wreckage of the battle is more or less cleared away and tents have been erected where the wounded are being tended. Seraphina, who meets us there: "Did you get the Dreamstone? Are you injured?"
[2024/10/20 14:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: *GIGGLES* go pee and grab sustenance!
[2024/10/20 14:09] Autolycus: /me looks around the tents for a bathroom and food
[2024/10/20 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch. "No, we didn't. And Jassie fell in battle, defending the withdrawal." Seraphina: "That... is unfortunate."
[2024/10/20 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: The castle is probably the best place to find either. Or both.
[2024/10/20 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Place to pee and food, I mean)
[2024/10/20 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: (why do players always derail DMs lol)
[2024/10/20 14:10] Mecha: If she would have just ran when I said to.. She would still be here."A hint of anger and regret in the voice.
[2024/10/20 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch: "Indeed, human." To Seraphina: "It is. But I think we can allow we can trust them, they've proved that. Do what you can to resurrect Jassie." Seraphina: "But... she's dead... I am not sure..."
[2024/10/20 14:11] Autolycus: /me Reappears from around a tent adjusting outfit and chewing... something.
[2024/10/20 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch: "Try. I have faith in you, old friend. And I think we can safely trust these humans." Seraphina: "Well... we'll try..."
[2024/10/20 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: But what of our fallen hero? What does the afterlife hold? These questions plague all mortals.
[2024/10/20 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: In the afterlife, Jassie may find herself in a realm shaped by Selune, surrounded by echoes of her past prayers and the spirits of those she aided in life. However, she could also face trials that test her faith and resolve, as she seeks to understand the true impact of her deeds and the nature of life, death, and divinity. Which, we, the living, may never know, but as Jassies' spirit is in the afterlife, she finds herself drawn to a huge deep pit, lit from a massive conflagration below with wails and screams emanating from below.
[2024/10/20 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm sure she'll be fine.
[2024/10/20 14:13] Jassie: (LOL)
[2024/10/20 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: To resurrect Jassie, Seraphina and the rest of her order gather at a sacred site during the full moon, bringing offerings of rare herbs and holy relics. They perform an ancient ritual of prayer and chant, invoking the deity's power to restore the cleric's essence, and soon a shimmering light envelops the area, signaling the presence of divine favor." Jassie: Back to life, 1hp, lose 1 CON.
[2024/10/20 14:14] Autolycus: ooo I've always wanted to see that...... rare herbs and recelcs you say?
[2024/10/20 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Indeed, rare ones, picked during full moons, and ancient relics and things
[2024/10/20 14:15] Jassie: "what? what happened? Where's that pit?" she looks around saying
[2024/10/20 14:15] Autolycus: /me eyes the relics and rare herbs
[2024/10/20 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch (mutters under her breath, only a few words clear... "worst party of humans ever")
[2024/10/20 14:16] Mecha: Can i roll to see if I hear that?
[2024/10/20 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm sure you misheard that, though. Probably said you're the best!
[2024/10/20 14:17] Autolycus: Bumps into someone holding either a relic or herbs... "Oh Excuse me" (tries pickpocket
[2024/10/20 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... dragons whispering means you can hear them about 500yds away
[2024/10/20 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh no
[2024/10/20 14:17] Jassie: "hmm... I'm back here? what happened?"
[2024/10/20 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll d%, must roll under 30
[2024/10/20 14:18] Autolycus: (2d10?
[2024/10/20 14:18] D10: Autolycus rolls 2
[2024/10/20 14:18] D10: Autolycus rolls 10
[2024/10/20 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: you know, I figured the TPK would be -outside- the castle walls
[2024/10/20 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yep
[2024/10/20 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: that's 20
[2024/10/20 14:18] Autolycus: :)
[2024/10/20 14:19] Mecha: You died, and they brought you back. Starting to think Sonja was right.
[2024/10/20 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: You put your hand in a pocket. You get 2 coppers, a handful of what look like some crushed white lilies, and a handkerchief... which has been liberally used.
[2024/10/20 14:20] Autolycus: /me ditches the used hanky and stashes the rest for later
[2024/10/20 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch: "Now, we need to plan what we are going to do. I don't advise going straight for Emberclaw, that would be suicidal."
[2024/10/20 14:21] Jassie: "erm...right... this is weird.. I feel terrible..." she looks around at the surroundings, "Well I guess at least it seems like we got back either way." she thinks out loud to herself, "Wonder if what I saw is really what is eventually coming for me." laughs out loud to herself.
[2024/10/20 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch to Jassie: "You were dead, human. We brought you back. Be more careful next time! Your lives are brief as it is."
[2024/10/20 14:22] Kylie: /me ponders how we could pull off the direct to Emberclaw attack...
[2024/10/20 14:22] Autolycus: Shouldn't she get some healing?
[2024/10/20 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, as long as no one does anything suicidal, she'll be fine.
[2024/10/20 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me realizes what she said
[2024/10/20 14:23] Jassie: "Well, at least I don't really have death to fear in future, as I kind of know where it's going."
[2024/10/20 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes, absolutely!
[2024/10/20 14:23] Autolycus: I thibnk se should not directly attack, emberclaw... maybe find a back door?
[2024/10/20 14:23] /me Dina listens quietly, smiling at all this talk of humans
[2024/10/20 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Any assault on Emberclaw is inadviseable without a -massive- advantage
[2024/10/20 14:24] Kylie: What if we took those egg shells ans snuck in?
[2024/10/20 14:24] Autolycus: Egg shells?
[2024/10/20 14:25] Mecha: So any idea of what we can do to get said major adantage?
[2024/10/20 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch: "Before you even get there, you'll be incinerated. Or caught by his allies. He's not stupid."
[2024/10/20 14:25] Autolycus: I perfer hiding as my advantage....
[2024/10/20 14:25] Kylie: From Emberclaws cave when we broke in last time
[2024/10/20 14:25] Jassie: "well, not sure exactly what's going on.. but at least we've got the Dreamstone for now."
[2024/10/20 14:26] Autolycus: ah... magical eggs?
[2024/10/20 14:26] Mecha: Oh yeah, about that. It was a fake
[2024/10/20 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig: "Right now... no idea. But weren't you tasked with finding dragons as allies against me, or magic items?"
[2024/10/20 14:26] Autolycus: Wait... we have the Dream stone?
[2024/10/20 14:26] Mecha: Yes, magic items. If I remember right that's where aour kitty pal came from
[2024/10/20 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: (You got a fake dreamstone.)
[2024/10/20 14:27] Autolycus: bummer
[2024/10/20 14:27] Jassie: looks at Mecha, "Wait what?? you serious?? then.... what did i... nevermind..."
[2024/10/20 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch pauses, realizing that Jassie snuffed it for a decoy.
[2024/10/20 14:27] Mecha: What did you die for?
[2024/10/20 14:27] Kylie: I grabbed the shiny one i didnt realize it wasnt real
[2024/10/20 14:27] Autolycus: apparently for a fake stone
[2024/10/20 14:28] /me Dina plays with her pseudodragon pet while listening close to plans being made
[2024/10/20 14:28] Jassie: /me sighs, "Yes I figured now, didnt need to be told.."
[2024/10/20 14:29] Autolycus: Reminds me of the time my party tried to steal the Holy Grail... turned out it wa a small wooden cup no one bothered with..
[2024/10/20 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch: "Perhaps the best course of action is to find allies to face Emberclaw. Blizarra, a white dragon, is not too far away, and might have something useful."
[2024/10/20 14:29] Autolycus: Not to far for a dragon? or foer us puny humans?
[2024/10/20 14:30] Mecha: /me glares at Jassie. You died for a fake that was already in someone elses hands on the way out. You Died because I FUCKING TOLD YOU TO RUN AND YOU DIDN'T!" Sighs and turns around."You plan I'm done for now. I wont be responsible for another death."
[2024/10/20 14:31] Autolycus: Calm down.... she is fine now...
[2024/10/20 14:31] Mecha: Walks out of the room
[2024/10/20 14:31] Autolycus: We all knew the job was dangerous when we took it
[2024/10/20 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch: "Human! You should stick together, or you won't stand a chance."
[2024/10/20 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch sighs loudly. "Maybe I should charm her again."
[2024/10/20 14:32] Jassie: I walk over to Mecha, putting a hand on her shoulder before she leaves, "it wasn't your fault dear, It was my decision to make, and I wanted to protect those around me, I would not have changed anything if I could have saved my friends."
[2024/10/20 14:32] Mecha: I stop at the door."I'm not giving up. I just need some time to cool down. I'm going to go exercise in the yard."
[2024/10/20 14:34] Mecha: It is my fault. Somehow and fucked if i know how I seem to be the one taking the reigns. that means every screw up is mine, every death is mine, and right now Jassie I don't know if I'm more pissed at you, or me. I'll be in the yard."
[2024/10/20 14:34] Jassie: sighs to herself...
[2024/10/20 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch clears her throat, causing various commoners to take cover as they fear the castle collapsing on them. "So... uhm. Blizarra?"
[2024/10/20 14:35] Autolycus: Do we ride? or walk?
[2024/10/20 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch: "It'll probably take you a week. I must rest and recover, humans. Even draconic strength has limits."
[2024/10/20 14:36] Autolycus: /me pouts and rubs feet
[2024/10/20 14:37] Jassie: "Well I need a break to recover as well.." looks out, "I think Mecha needs some as well."
[2024/10/20 14:37] Autolycus: so.... ROADTRIP!
[2024/10/20 14:37] Autolycus: Any one got a wagon?
[2024/10/20 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch: "I'll leave you to plan this out and prepare. You may or may not want to drop my name, Blizzara and I fought once and white dragons are notorious for holding grudges. You'll recognize her easily by the scrape down her neck."
[2024/10/20 14:38] Autolycus: hmmmm
[2024/10/20 14:39] Jassie: any suggestions?
[2024/10/20 14:39] Autolycus: I suggest get a wagon, provisions, maybe an entertainer for the evenings...
[2024/10/20 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja y Ddraig Goch: "I'll wish you luck." She backs away and flaps her wings and WOOMPH takes to the air, flies away slowly
[2024/10/20 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: (notes that Jassie has a purified dead rat)
[2024/10/20 14:40] Jassie: (yes I do)
[2024/10/20 14:41] Autolycus: /me wonders what it takes to "purify" rats...
[2024/10/20 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: (I'm surprised you aren't wondering why she's carried that since near the beginning....)
[2024/10/20 14:41] Jassie: (LOL oh brb, toilet)
[2024/10/20 14:42] Autolycus: (hey, it's not fpor me to judge... :)
[2024/10/20 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Best one to talk to about provisions is probably Seraphina. "Provisions? We need all we can get. But we can trade at market rate, I guess. Best we can do!"
[2024/10/20 14:43] Autolycus: Who knows how to drive>
[2024/10/20 14:44] Autolycus: ?
[2024/10/20 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Probably all of you. But what are you going to drive?
[2024/10/20 14:45] Autolycus: Well... i guess if no one has one, we need to look for a wagon around here... I mean , it IS a castle
[2024/10/20 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Seraphina: "We do have things, but... we need them. We must abandon the castle, the army will be back, after all."
[2024/10/20 14:46] Autolycus: oh
[2024/10/20 14:46] Autolycus: Is there a twon nearby?
[2024/10/20 14:46] Autolycus: town
[2024/10/20 14:46] Autolycus: or a farm?
[2024/10/20 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Just the castle!
[2024/10/20 14:47] Autolycus: waht? no peasants to support it?
[2024/10/20 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: all round, but peasants don't tend to have wagons - and a major battle just took place recently
[2024/10/20 14:48] Autolycus: hmmm...
[2024/10/20 14:48] Autolycus: ... so still gear lying around? from the battle?
[2024/10/20 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: cart: 100gp, wagon: 200gp
[2024/10/20 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: you'll want at least one horse.... only 40gp
[2024/10/20 14:49] Kylie: I'm not sure i have enough for the crt after that expensive door
[2024/10/20 14:50] Autolycus: ok, then... those who don;t want to walk the whole way, I think we should pool some money for either a eagon and horse, or a horse apiece
[2024/10/20 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: You can find any number of abandoned short swords and leather armour, some might even be useable.
[2024/10/20 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Note: whether you walk or take a wagon, you'll be going a fairly similar rate. Also, mountains.
[2024/10/20 14:51] Autolycus: Yes, but a horse can run away faster...
[2024/10/20 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... for the one who rides it....
[2024/10/20 14:51] Kylie: Ok lets walk it will be good for our health
[2024/10/20 14:51] Mecha: I finish my workout. Sweat glistening on my skin, still looking stressed but hearing this.
[2024/10/20 14:51] Autolycus: /me sighs... and rubs feet again
[2024/10/20 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: The wagon will admittedly multiply your carrying capacity. As long as you are on a road of some sort.
[2024/10/20 14:52] Jassie: (back sorry)
[2024/10/20 14:52] Autolycus: Are there roads where we are going... anyone got a map? well, I am going out on the battle field to see if I can dig up anything useful...
[2024/10/20 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: (I'm not sorry you're back)
[2024/10/20 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... you're going to a mountain....
[2024/10/20 14:54] Autolycus: : over shoulder as heading to do some scrounging "well, you guys decide, I'll be back shortly"
[2024/10/20 14:54] /me Dina "Aquiring a map could help us alot.", goes to start to make a pile of the swords in case any might want to sell them
[2024/10/20 14:54] Autolycus: : scrounges the battle field for anything intersting
[2024/10/20 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... roll a d20, I guess
[2024/10/20 14:54] D20: Autolycus rolls 4
[2024/10/20 14:55] Jassie: /me goes over to Mecha and gives her a hug, "dont worry about what happened, it was my decision not yours ok." she smiles
[2024/10/20 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: You find two rather rusty and misshapen short swords, a burnt leather armour containing a blackened skeleton.
[2024/10/20 14:56] Autolycus: /me sighs
[2024/10/20 14:56] Jassie: "So we should start by procuring a map from someone."
[2024/10/20 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... buying a horse and cart?
[2024/10/20 14:56] Mecha: /me smiles at Jassie. It's still gonna bother me but I'm good now. Right now we need to save the world I guess? Do we have a plan?
[2024/10/20 14:57] Jassie: well if we can pool in the money for a horse and cart, and possibly a map of the area especially where we're heading towards."
[2024/10/20 14:58] Autolycus: so 80 each for the wagon?
[2024/10/20 14:58] Autolycus: and anothe r8 for the horse?
[2024/10/20 14:58] Mecha: And none of the soldiers left carts behind, maybe a couple wild horses? Figure it would save us some gold.
[2024/10/20 14:59] Autolycus: All I found was... welll not useful anyway... you guys could try and scrounge
[2024/10/20 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Between a fleeing army, and commoners getting out of the castle, transport is in short supply.
[2024/10/20 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Luckily, you're only being asked usual prices.
[2024/10/20 15:00] Mecha: True, but I am gonna head up to the top of the wall and see what I can see
[2024/10/20 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Most of you do have a fair bit of gold, though)
[2024/10/20 15:01] Jassie: (cant remember how much I had but gonna pool in)
[2024/10/20 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: From the castle walls? Be careful, some look ready to collapse... looking West, the mountains of Cymru, a mountainous and sparsely populated region. North east... the peaks of the Ramtop mountains. South, forests. East, forests.
[2024/10/20 15:02] Kylie: (crashed at 2:56 mecha said do we have a plan)
[2024/10/20 15:02] Mecha: No I meant looking for abandoned carts maybe a random horse running around riderless
[2024/10/20 15:03] Mecha: figure view from up on high might help
[2024/10/20 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Good luck! The battle took place two days ago, game time.
[2024/10/20 15:05] Jassie: I'll try to talk to some of the folk around to figure where we might be able to get a map
[2024/10/20 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Commoners: "A map? Of a mountain? It's a great big pile of rock...."
[2024/10/20 15:06] Autolycus: I'll talk to whoever the local quartermaster is (or acting if he is dead) and see about Short Bow, Arrows and a couple silver tiped arrows...
[2024/10/20 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: A very good idea indeed.
[2024/10/20 15:07] Autolycus: oh. and a grappling hook
[2024/10/20 15:07] Jassie: "nono, of the world or at least the areas around."
[2024/10/20 15:08] Mecha: I come down."How about the nearest town that might be friendly to us. We might find what we need there."
[2024/10/20 15:08] Autolycus: And iron spikes...
[2024/10/20 15:08] Kylie: That is a great idea Mecha
[2024/10/20 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: short bow + 20 arrows, 30gp
[2024/10/20 15:09] Autolycus: and mirror (can't let my looks go to pot)
[2024/10/20 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: silver tipped arrows.... 5gp each
[2024/10/20 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mirror, 5gp
[2024/10/20 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Rope 50', plus grappling hook... 2gp
[2024/10/20 15:10] Kylie: I'll by 2 of the silver arrows
[2024/10/20 15:11] Kylie: I already have the short bow
[2024/10/20 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: you got 10 arrows, might want more
[2024/10/20 15:12] Jassie: normal arrows might be useful too
[2024/10/20 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: 5gp for 20
[2024/10/20 15:12] Kylie: ok ill go 20 the dice make me think extra is better than less
[2024/10/20 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Anyone else thinking of buying anything?
[2024/10/20 15:13] Jassie: cant really use much HAHA
[2024/10/20 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: As for area maps - peasants don't tend to travel, so... maps aren't exactly common to find
[2024/10/20 15:14] /me Dina: yes looking for a place or person to see if they have any crossbow quarrels beyond the norm and any scrolls available
[2024/10/20 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: About the best you know is, Ramtop Mountains are a few days away, and a guide might (or might not) be available.
[2024/10/20 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: you got 20, Dina
[2024/10/20 15:15] Autolycus: /me asks around if any one of the survivors would want to become my hireling...
[2024/10/20 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: 30 quarrels, 10gp
[2024/10/20 15:16] /me Dina: buys them and adds to case
[2024/10/20 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: All the commoners got family and are heading (mostly) West
[2024/10/20 15:16] Autolycus: /me repacks backpack and mutters "Hopefully someone found teh cart and horse..."
[2024/10/20 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: if I remember right: cart and horse is 240gp
[2024/10/20 15:18] Autolycus: oh... then I get a refund for my contribution?
[2024/10/20 15:18] Jassie: (which direction was it again that Sonja the dragon said we needed to go?)
[2024/10/20 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: To the Ramtop Mountains.
[2024/10/20 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....from who?
[2024/10/20 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Direction: North east)
[2024/10/20 15:19] Autolycus: oh I though we all chippped in 8 for a horse and 80 for the wagon...
[2024/10/20 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: no one decided yet (did they?)
[2024/10/20 15:20] Autolycus: oh, guys cough up 40 eaach for the cart and 8 for the horse and I will go get it...
[2024/10/20 15:21] Kylie: im fine walking
[2024/10/20 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dina however is out of gold.
[2024/10/20 15:21] Autolycus: /me sighs
[2024/10/20 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Also, apparantly Kylie is walking :)
[2024/10/20 15:21] Autolycus: ok, looks lke we walk... but I am at least going to get a horse (40gp)
[2024/10/20 15:22] Mecha: Autolycus. I still think we should find a nearby town. One to get a night of rest and food. full recharge and with luck we can find those items cheaper and not put the people here in a crunch
[2024/10/20 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Enjoy the horse.
[2024/10/20 15:22] Jassie: I'll put what I have in as well maybe for a cart
[2024/10/20 15:22] Autolycus: (( I was under the impression from the DM we could get this stuff here at the castle and that there was no nearby town) ))
[2024/10/20 15:23] Kylie: yes lets find a town to rest first
[2024/10/20 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Autolycus has it right - this IS the major focal point for a days' march any direction
[2024/10/20 15:24] Jassie: thats definitely a good idea, especially since i'm completely tired out
[2024/10/20 15:24] /me Dina: wagon was 200 ?
[2024/10/20 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: it is, if you want one (plus 40 for horse)
[2024/10/20 15:24] Autolycus: ((brb))
[2024/10/20 15:26] Jassie: (i mean do we have enough?)
[2024/10/20 15:26] /me Dina turns to ask the party as they are getting the cart, "will a wagon also help and can anyone drive it while another handles the cart.", waits for an answer before purchasing a separate wagon to aid the party as well and a horse
[2024/10/20 15:27] Mecha: WEll if we are a days travel. We crash here tonight and head out in the morning with what we can. Everyone okay with that?
[2024/10/20 15:27] Autolycus: ((back))
[2024/10/20 15:27] Dina: ((welcome back))
[2024/10/20 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: wait... no one bought a cart?
[2024/10/20 15:27] Kylie: yes im ok with that
[2024/10/20 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, Dina buys a horse & cart?
[2024/10/20 15:28] Jassie: i'm good with that
[2024/10/20 15:28] Jassie: I'll pool in too as i said
[2024/10/20 15:28] Autolycus: I call shotgun!
[2024/10/20 15:28] Mecha: I'll walk.
[2024/10/20 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: so 130 from Jassie & Dina
[2024/10/20 15:28] /me Dina: quietly went ahead and bought a wagon and a horse and prepared it for the journey so the party wont have to walk
[2024/10/20 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Any other shopping....!
[2024/10/20 15:30] Mecha: Nope I am good.
[2024/10/20 15:30] Autolycus: /me Looks in tehr castle cellar to see if there is any fancy wine lying around unattended...
[2024/10/20 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sadly no.
[2024/10/20 15:30] Autolycus: Then I seem to be done too
[2024/10/20 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, resting to morning?
[2024/10/20 15:31] Mecha: Yeah, that seems like the best idea
[2024/10/20 15:31] Jassie: yes
[2024/10/20 15:32] Autolycus: /me commandeers one of teh castle bedroom (perferabluy a princess suite) and snugles under the blankets...
[2024/10/20 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Between rest and healing spells, you start the next day at full health.
[2024/10/20 15:32] Jassie: I'm completely drained
[2024/10/20 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: The next day: the road to the Ramtop Mountains awaits. You appear to have a date with Blizarra, a white dragon with a grudge.
[2024/10/20 15:33] Autolycus: Before returning to the group, looks around the bedroom just in case the previous occupant left anything valuable... :)
[2024/10/20 15:33] D20: Autolycus rolls 19
[2024/10/20 15:34] Jassie: gets up still feeling something not too right with herself
[2024/10/20 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, the castle is little more than a garrison fort, so tends to be rather spartan, it has housed commoners for a while and gone through a siege that wrecked it.
[2024/10/20 15:34] Autolycus: Meh... still was worth a try :)
[2024/10/20 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: You do however find a stub of a candle and some shards of broken glass.
[2024/10/20 15:35] Autolycus: Pocket the candle
[2024/10/20 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: So are you hitting the road... or have you anything last minute you want to acquire?
[2024/10/20 15:36] Autolycus: /me hops up next to the drivers seat and waits for the others
[2024/10/20 15:36] Jassie: I just get ready for the long trip for now
[2024/10/20 15:37] Jassie: before getting in the back for now.
[2024/10/20 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Are you sure?
[2024/10/20 15:37] Autolycus: (anythign catch my eye?)
[2024/10/20 15:37] Mecha: I'm gonna walk next to the cart, trying to help guid the horse
[2024/10/20 15:38] Autolycus: ((oh, sorry, Thought it was a wagon)) Loads pack on horse and climbs on its back
[2024/10/20 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Trees?)
[2024/10/20 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a wagon (four wheeled)
[2024/10/20 15:38] Autolycus: oh,,, then strike myt last comment
[2024/10/20 15:38] Mecha: And it is being pulled by a horse,
[2024/10/20 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: so. Heading out, as is? Nothing else to get/do?
[2024/10/20 15:39] Autolycus: Tie my horse to teh cart so it doesn't get lost...
[2024/10/20 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie... roll a d12
[2024/10/20 15:40] Jassie: (I'm a cleric, with everything I need and can use, what else do i need hehe))
[2024/10/20 15:40] D12: Kylie rolls 10
[2024/10/20 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's about ten o clock, as you travel along the trail towards the mountains. You see something loping down the trail slowly, and the horses nicker in alarm.
[2024/10/20 15:41] Autolycus: /me gets abow and knocks an arrow, squinting into the distance to try and identify it
[2024/10/20 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2024/10/20 15:42] Jassie: gets a shock before she looks up from inside the cart
[2024/10/20 15:42] D20: Autolycus rolls 16
[2024/10/20 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: You're not sure what it is....
[2024/10/20 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: anyone else? :)
[2024/10/20 15:43] Mecha: I'm taking a look, reaching for my warhammer
[2024/10/20 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2024/10/20 15:44] /me Dina looks in the direction of what scared the horses and tries hard to see if she can make out what it is
[2024/10/20 15:44] Jassie: i'm sure i clicked it
[2024/10/20 15:44] D20: Jassie rolls 17
[2024/10/20 15:44] Jassie: ah there
[2024/10/20 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....why do you not get these rolls in combat?
[2024/10/20 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie: You have no clear idea what it is
[2024/10/20 15:45] D20: Mecha rolls 12
[2024/10/20 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, Dina, d20, why not
[2024/10/20 15:45] D20: Dina rolls 10
[2024/10/20 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Grey fur, slavering jaws, feral eyes... it's a lone wolf. Probably won't harm you.
[2024/10/20 15:46] Jassie: (because the dice is cursed lol)
[2024/10/20 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: (lol. I can't wait for the 2s and 3s you'll roll in combat)
[2024/10/20 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: so what are you doing?
[2024/10/20 15:48] Mecha: As long as it doesn't attack we let it go
[2024/10/20 15:48] Mecha: or at least I let it go. wont speak for the others
[2024/10/20 15:49] Autolycus: I will slip off the cart and try to hide soon as i can (with weapons)
[2024/10/20 15:49] Jassie: yea I agree, if it keeps to itself, I'm not just going to attack it for the sake of it
[2024/10/20 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: It eyes you, and reluctantly slinks aside into the bushes.
[2024/10/20 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Continuing on...?
[2024/10/20 15:51] Autolycus: /me returns to cart keeping an eye on bushes
[2024/10/20 15:52] Mecha: I try to resist the urge. trying so hard...
[2024/10/20 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: dare I ask what urge?
[2024/10/20 15:52] Autolycus: :P
[2024/10/20 15:52] Mecha: Hang on.. flipping a coin
[2024/10/20 15:53] Mecha: Before we go I take some of my standard rations and set it out for the wolf and a bit of water. for it too
[2024/10/20 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: you got five days' rations... you're giving one to the wolf?
[2024/10/20 15:54] Mecha: Yep
[2024/10/20 15:54] Mecha: They are my rations so
[2024/10/20 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: they are
[2024/10/20 15:55] Mecha: Lone wolf, slavering jaws, willing to bet it's hungry and probably thirsty
[2024/10/20 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: the wolf doesn't show, but you know it's there, watching and waiting for you to move on
[2024/10/20 15:55] Mecha: All right, shall we go?
[2024/10/20 15:55] Autolycus: /me watches Mecha "Going to try and tame it?"
[2024/10/20 15:55] Kylie: lets go
[2024/10/20 15:55] Jassie: "wow Mecha, so sweet of you..." I say giving her a actual pat on her shoulder, taking note of this and being disappointed with herself for not doing that.
[2024/10/20 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dina... d12
[2024/10/20 15:56] D12: Dina rolls 10
[2024/10/20 15:56] Autolycus: I wonder how much we could have gotten for a wolf pelt... Just sayin"
[2024/10/20 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: eh, roll again.... not another 10
[2024/10/20 15:57] D12: Dina rolls 5
[2024/10/20 15:57] Mecha: *Does Autolycus say that?*
[2024/10/20 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: (pauses)
[2024/10/20 15:58] Autolycus: Sees mecha's raised eyebrow... "Wut? Can't I look out for myself... I AM a thief ya know"
[2024/10/20 15:59] Mecha: I get that you are a thief. but somethings are not worth stealing if you keep going and get caught, I'll be honest I'm gonna step out of the way of the consequences.
[2024/10/20 16:00] Autolycus: "understood"
[2024/10/20 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Moving on... :) It's about three in the afternoon when the horses start drawing back and shying, alarmed about something you can't see
[2024/10/20 16:01] Jassie: I do agree. we should not just take the life of something thats just trying to live out its life... I know that personally as well
[2024/10/20 16:01] Mecha: Glad to hear it, shall we get going then?
[2024/10/20 16:02] Autolycus: /me alips off the cart again and tries to hide...
[2024/10/20 16:03] Autolycus: Watching the area for any movement
[2024/10/20 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Something rustles in the bushes... you hear a quiet grunt
[2024/10/20 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Anyone want to roll a d20? :)
[2024/10/20 16:03] D20: Mecha rolls 11
[2024/10/20 16:03] D20: Kylie rolls 18
[2024/10/20 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha manages that... and recognizes the grunt of a wild boar. These tend to be rather bad tempered and unpredictable.
[2024/10/20 16:04] Autolycus: Knocks an arrow and waits...
[2024/10/20 16:05] Mecha: I start looking around for this boar."We might have food for the trip but be careful."
[2024/10/20 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's in the bushes to one side of the road.
[2024/10/20 16:07] Jassie: tries to possibly help by moving slowly to cut off its exit
[2024/10/20 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... going to attack it?
[2024/10/20 16:08] Mecha: Hammer is out and I will take a swing at it
[2024/10/20 16:08] Autolycus: Seeing mecha go for an attack, looses the arrow at the boar
[2024/10/20 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, minus four penalty for cover
[2024/10/20 16:08] D20: Mecha rolls 18
[2024/10/20 16:09] D20: Autolycus rolls 19
[2024/10/20 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: good lord....
[2024/10/20 16:09] Autolycus: (+2 dex for missile weapon)
[2024/10/20 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: d6, both of you
[2024/10/20 16:09] D6: Autolycus rolls 3
[2024/10/20 16:09] D6: Mecha rolls 3
[2024/10/20 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: The bushes seem to just explode and a tusked furry body erupts, roaring fury! It attacks Mecha first
[2024/10/20 16:10] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2024/10/20 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: >.<
[2024/10/20 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay
[2024/10/20 16:10] Jassie: goes for a smash on it as it jumps out
[2024/10/20 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: who's doing what next?
[2024/10/20 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2024/10/20 16:10] D20: Jassie rolls 12
[2024/10/20 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: d6 for the hit
[2024/10/20 16:11] D20: Autolycus rolls 20
[2024/10/20 16:11] Autolycus: Tries to get a clear shot with another arrow...
[2024/10/20 16:11] D6: Jassie rolls 2
[2024/10/20 16:11] Autolycus: +2
[2024/10/20 16:11] D6: Autolycus rolls 6
[2024/10/20 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dina, Kylie? (Only one attack per round!)
[2024/10/20 16:11] Autolycus: ((oops))
[2024/10/20 16:12] /me Dina seeing the boar burst from the bushes or forest cover it had been hidden in, quickly readies her crossbow and fires at it
[2024/10/20 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Pity, nat20!)
[2024/10/20 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20 Dina
[2024/10/20 16:12] D20: Dina rolls 7
[2024/10/20 16:12] Kylie: I will shoot a non silver arrow at it
[2024/10/20 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: that's a miss....
[2024/10/20 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20 from Kylie
[2024/10/20 16:12] D20: Kylie rolls 11
[2024/10/20 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: hit, actually....
[2024/10/20 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: and, at 1hp, a kill. The boar slams to the ground, and you can see huge tusks that would've been VERY painful to anyone in the way
[2024/10/20 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me adds Dead Boar to Kylies' sheet - her kill
[2024/10/20 16:14] Autolycus: /me whips out knife and goes to work removing the tusks...
[2024/10/20 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: looks like you got dinner... and it being 3pm, you might want to think of a place to camp
[2024/10/20 16:14] Jassie: I give a silent prayer to the boar as it passes on
