[2024/11/24 14:02] Sapphire: giving them activity helps to make them load in for others
[2024/11/24 14:02] Sapphire: since the event notice forces the viewer to notice the item it skipped earlier
[2024/11/24 14:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie, gained level.

[2024/11/24 14:13] Jassie): also is anyone's SL extremely laggy?

[2024/11/24 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: right... not sure why but Nero is short a level.
[2024/11/24 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: Want me to roll D8 for you again?
[2024/11/24 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Nero :P

[2024/11/24 14:20] Nero: yay
[2024/11/24 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: not sure why Nero was only level 3
[2024/11/24 14:21] Jassie): ooo heya Mecha

[2024/11/24 14:22] D8: Mecha rolls 8
[2024/11/24 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: now that IS a reroll
[2024/11/24 14:23] Second Life: Items successfully shared.
[2024/11/24 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: now we are more or less all here...
[2024/11/24 14:23] Nero: no idea either
[2024/11/24 14:24] Nero: i must of missed a level or something but hey glad i was still doing good for a low level
[2024/11/24 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: I am now streaming music at: http://81.133.27.194:8000
[2024/11/24 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's either suitable mood music or my ipod library. Feel free to tune in!
[2024/11/24 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: =^..^= Music now on! =^..^=
[2024/11/24 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, what happened last.
[2024/11/24 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: You found Blizarras' rather -annoyed- young dragons, who saw her sadly killed and cut to pieces. And they took you down from the mountain
[2024/11/24 14:26] Nero: oh also probably level 3 cause i missed 2 weeks
[2024/11/24 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: You are now on a quest to find Thunderax, the next more difficult dragon to meet. Sonja y Ddraig Goch will meet the other two.... they're nasty pieces of work, so, be grateful you aren't stuck in a swamp.
[2024/11/24 14:26] Nero: lap top getting repaired cause yeah last i remember we fought the creature tied to a rock
[2024/11/24 14:27] Nero: nods nods nod
[2024/11/24 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: However, Thunderax isn't going to be easy to meet... you go from mountain top to a desert.
[2024/11/24 14:27] Nero: off to see the dragon the wonderful draong of ozz
[2024/11/24 14:27] Sapphire: At least we aren't freezing this time
[2024/11/24 14:27] Jassie): well, at least we know that probably wont fall in water in the desert
[2024/11/24 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that recap out of the way.... GGGRREEEETTTTIIINNGGGSSSSS Adventurers! Some players get to slay mighty dragons, you get to talk with their distraught children.
[2024/11/24 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha. It's a days' travel East, to the city of Thetford at the edge of the desert. What do you suggest?
[2024/11/24 14:28] Nero: and possibly slay them
[2024/11/24 14:28] Nero: haha
[2024/11/24 14:29] Nero: wwell we are either walkin or we could possibly tag along with a trading caravan
[2024/11/24 14:29] Nero: possibly get some money from it to as body guards
[2024/11/24 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: You have a wagon.
[2024/11/24 14:29] Nero: even better
[2024/11/24 14:29] Nero: now can get a job body guarding and helping hall some goods possibly illegal stuff
[2024/11/24 14:29] Nero: for more $$
[2024/11/24 14:30] Nero: assuming thats an option
[2024/11/24 14:30] Mecha: Go with the plan from before what ever we do and whereever we go I'll drive, those who need rest rest in the back of the wagon.
[2024/11/24 14:30] Jassie): lol, Nero going into the illegal business now huh
[2024/11/24 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Technically you're all outlaws.
[2024/11/24 14:30] Nero: money in money i dont judge XD il i draw the line at sale kids though
[2024/11/24 14:30] Nero: anything else is fair game
[2024/11/24 14:31] Jassie): i'm a cleric
[2024/11/24 14:31] Jassie): I'm holy
[2024/11/24 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: you may want to travel lesser known routes, to avoid running into the forces of law and order
[2024/11/24 14:32] Nero: you only have one hole im interested in nun :P
[2024/11/24 14:32] Sapphire: why are we outlaws/
[2024/11/24 14:32] Nero: ((lol jk jk ))
[2024/11/24 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: or, you can go direct, and possibly run into the local militia
[2024/11/24 14:32] Jassie): wowww
[2024/11/24 14:32] Nero: ((just playing my charecter nothing more XD ))
[2024/11/24 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Because you sided with Sonja y Ddraig Goch, who you were recruited to defeat.
[2024/11/24 14:32] Jassie): ((needs to reconfigure herself into an Adepta Sororitas))
[2024/11/24 14:33] Nero: ((now your jsut making it worse....a battle sister would be even hotter))
[2024/11/24 14:33] Mecha: *Then going for the "Dreamstone" we attacked the wizard sooo we are not very well liked.*
[2024/11/24 14:33] Nero: and hmmmmm
[2024/11/24 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: and since you flew in on her back over the capital city and swiped the Dreamstone, that's a hard one to deny.
[2024/11/24 14:33] Nero: my vote is to go the lesser roads
[2024/11/24 14:34] Nero: id rather not pimp out my ass to the law to get us out of jail
[2024/11/24 14:34] Sapphire: Hmmmm.... so on the upside I don't really care what my military supervisors think about me at this point....
[2024/11/24 14:34] Nero: because after all equal holes equal goals around her il take one for the team in a jam
[2024/11/24 14:34] Nero: around here*
[2024/11/24 14:34] Nero: or 2
[2024/11/24 14:35] Kylie: I'm for the lesser road as well
[2024/11/24 14:35] Mecha: Sounds like a good plan
[2024/11/24 14:36] Nero: thats majorty " starts walkin"
[2024/11/24 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... going the back ways does pay off. You run into less people and avoid the law; it does take longer, though. Two days later... you arrive.
[2024/11/24 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thetford is a bustling frontier town perched on the edge of the vast and unforgiving Great Nef Desert, where the sun blazes fiercely during the day and chilling winds sweep across the landscape at night. Its buildings are adorned with colorful murals depicting the tales of brave adventurers, reflecting the vibrant culture of the settlers who have bravely carved a life out of the arid surroundings. The town serves as a crucial trade hub, with merchants gathering at the lively marketplace to exchange goods such as exotic spices, rare textiles, and enchanted relics unearthed from the shifting sands.
[2024/11/24 14:36] Mecha: *By that time we got rest, spell slots reset etc.?*
[2024/11/24 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: In other words, you have just been warned ;)
[2024/11/24 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: You all have spells/HP
[2024/11/24 14:37] Jassie): drugs
[2024/11/24 14:37] Jassie): ah ok
[2024/11/24 14:37] Sapphire: What do the rumors say about these enchanted relics unearthed by the sands?
[2024/11/24 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, where you going first? What are you going to do?
[2024/11/24 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Just that... there's all manner of relics if you only go out and dig.
[2024/11/24 14:37] Jassie): maybe try get some info about Thunderax?
[2024/11/24 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Good idea. Where you going, who do you ask?
[2024/11/24 14:38] Jassie): ask if they know bout a big dragon around town
[2024/11/24 14:38] Mecha: I'm going to see about getting some supplies
[2024/11/24 14:38] Jassie): maybe the local tavern
[2024/11/24 14:38] Jassie): get me a desert cloak Mecha!
[2024/11/24 14:38] Jassie): something nice and light
[2024/11/24 14:38] Mecha: I will see what I can do
[2024/11/24 14:39] Nero: finds the nearest wattering hole that looks like its drinkable and dung my head in and starts chuggin
[2024/11/24 14:39] Nero: this heat be killin me
[2024/11/24 14:39] Sapphire: as tempting as relics are, digging would take a lot of our time
[2024/11/24 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... you go to the nearest inn and wander in. The barkeeper watches, his eyes widening in surprise, and he surreptitiously reaches under the bar. "Well met, travellers," he says. "New in these parts?"
[2024/11/24 14:41] Jassie): "ah yes" she nods, "do you happen to know anything about a great big dragon somewhere in the desert?"
[2024/11/24 14:41] Nero: your coldest ale now! please..."
[2024/11/24 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Which one are you asking about? You a friend of the Dragon Queen... or you for the Dragon of the North?"
[2024/11/24 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: (You may make a d20 roll)
[2024/11/24 14:44] Nero: ((shit its one of those places))
[2024/11/24 14:44] Nero: ((good luck jessie but can i get my drink first before we possibly get stabbed XD ))
[2024/11/24 14:44] D20: Jassie rolls 17
[2024/11/24 14:44] Nero: ((phew my drink is hopfully safe))
[2024/11/24 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Whoops. You've literally no idea what he just asked you, it's so out of the blue.
[2024/11/24 14:45] Mecha: *While it isn't smart to split the party. This one thinks she can keep her head down enough to get food and gear for the trip.*
[2024/11/24 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Anyone else want to roll and save the conversation from devolving to fisticuffs?
[2024/11/24 14:46] D20: Nero rolls 5
[2024/11/24 14:46] Nero: oof
[2024/11/24 14:46] Nero: oof
[2024/11/24 14:46] Sapphire: Oh dear, enlisted witch to try and help...
[2024/11/24 14:46] Jassie): (there we gio)
[2024/11/24 14:46] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2024/11/24 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Nero remembers a fairly common bit of forgotten lore: "Dragon Queen" is a reference to Tiamat, Celestial Dragon of Evil. "King of the North" refers to Bahumet, the God of the Good aligned dragons.
[2024/11/24 14:47] Nero: hmmmmmmmmmmmm))
[2024/11/24 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire however doesn't know this. Guess it's more obscure than I thought.
[2024/11/24 14:48] Jassie): LOL, our chars too dumb
[2024/11/24 14:48] Nero: looks around at the bar hearing this and looks for clues...does this look like more criminal or well kept bar
[2024/11/24 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: why did you start rolling high???
[2024/11/24 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Typical bar on the borderlands.
[2024/11/24 14:49] Sapphire: (( even on a 16? dang. ))
[2024/11/24 14:49] Nero: hmmmmm
[2024/11/24 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: ( you had one job to do, roll low. Usually you all rarely roll double digits! )
[2024/11/24 14:50] D20: Kylie rolls 20
[2024/11/24 14:50] Nero: in that case il take my chance and say what my charecter would say peronsally
[2024/11/24 14:50] Nero: and say "why the dragon king of the north of course"
[2024/11/24 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh good lord. Kylie is convinced you should say "Dragon Queen".
[2024/11/24 14:50] Jassie): (lolol, dice doesnt listen to us)
[2024/11/24 14:50] Nero: hehe
[2024/11/24 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, what are you going with?
[2024/11/24 14:52] Nero: and im going with the king of the north i feel
[2024/11/24 14:52] Nero: since this doesnt look like some shady bar
[2024/11/24 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: The barkeeper nods. "Aye, that's what I thought... and what it says on THESE..." And he slaps a bunch of WANTED notices on the bar. You have all been reasonable accurately depicted. Apparantly the bounty stands at 500 gp.
[2024/11/24 14:53] Nero: wellll shit
[2024/11/24 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper leans over the bar to whisper. "Ale is free to you, But listen out, if I whistle, duck out the back fast, okay?"
[2024/11/24 14:54] Sapphire: Emily picks up the wanted poster with her own face on it. "...do you mind if I keep this?"
[2024/11/24 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Of course. Planning on turning yourself in for the bounty?"
[2024/11/24 14:55] Nero: was about to reach for his greatsword but the was pleasantly shocked and surprised "well thats the kinda service im talking about! thank you! il take a mug of the coldest thing you got"
[2024/11/24 14:55] Jassie): looks at the poster..."how did this come to..."" sich
[2024/11/24 14:55] Jassie): sigh*
[2024/11/24 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper nods and starts pouring ales. "What was that about a dragon, friends?"
[2024/11/24 14:56] Sapphire: "That would be clever. No, it's simply the most well-drawn picture of myself I've ever seen."
[2024/11/24 14:57] Jassie): /me giggles a little hearing that
[2024/11/24 14:57] Nero: im pratically drool and cant wait to get my hands on the ale as i chug it down as for the wanted posters not his first rodeo...he is jsut flattered its so high
[2024/11/24 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: ( A terrorist in Iraq did that. Turned himself in for the reward, was astonished he wasn't allowed to go. )
[2024/11/24 14:58] Jassie): (oh lol)
[2024/11/24 14:58] Nero: ((facepalm)
[2024/11/24 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, Nero, you did smash into the Great Wizards tower, steal what was purported to be a reality defining artifact, and you did that on the back of the dragon that is terrorizing the kingdom.
[2024/11/24 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Think you're missing a few zeroes, myself
[2024/11/24 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie! What are you going to say/do?
[2024/11/24 14:59] Sapphire: "They're probably saving the zeros for the bounty on the dragon."
[2024/11/24 15:00] Kylie: I ask what type of ale this is
[2024/11/24 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Our best dwarven-brewed dragons' blood ale."
[2024/11/24 15:00] Nero: hehe
[2024/11/24 15:01] Nero: think we are missing a few zeros however
[2024/11/24 15:01] Nero: think its time to get a disguise of some sort a rogue and some reading glasses should work
[2024/11/24 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie: what was it you asked about the dragon?
[2024/11/24 15:02] Jassie): whether he knew about one possibly named Thunderax
[2024/11/24 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper (chokes): "Thunderax! Are ye daft... why are you going bothering him?"
[2024/11/24 15:03] Jassie): well always good to say hi!
[2024/11/24 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "This anything to do with those guys who passed through a few days ago?"
[2024/11/24 15:04] Jassie): wait? what guys who passed through?
[2024/11/24 15:04] Sapphire: "I'd like to hear about these guys."
[2024/11/24 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Aye. A score or more, armed to the teeth. Lots of wagons, bought up water and tools, and said they were headed into the desert to deal with Thunderax."
[2024/11/24 15:05] Jassie): "oh boy... well can you tell us where they were heading?
[2024/11/24 15:05] Nero: my interest is no peeked as i set the mug on the bar and listen in
[2024/11/24 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Straight into the desert."
[2024/11/24 15:06] Jassie): any particular direction?
[2024/11/24 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Just go East.... it's right out at the edge of town, can't miss it."
[2024/11/24 15:08] Kylie: Could we buy a cask of ale to keep hydradted in the desert?
[2024/11/24 15:08] Nero: by a score we talking 5-10 men?
[2024/11/24 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie: You could.
[2024/11/24 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Nero: A score is twenty.
[2024/11/24 15:08] Nero: sheesh
[2024/11/24 15:08] Kylie: I think i should buy one
[2024/11/24 15:08] Jassie): "alright well thank you for the info!
[2024/11/24 15:09] Jassie): (LOL alcohol possibly detected)
[2024/11/24 15:09] Jassie): alcoholic*
[2024/11/24 15:09] Nero: alright in that case i suggest we get going but yes a couple bottles couldnt hurt
[2024/11/24 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "You'd be best advised to not annoy Thunderax. He doesn't take kindly to intruders, friends."
[2024/11/24 15:10] Jassie): "yes of course, just having a gander."
[2024/11/24 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: About now is when three -very- grumpy men walk in, wearing chain mail and with crossbow bolts in pouches slung over their shoulders. One of them: "We're fucking late, we missed them." Other man: "Damn wheel breaking like that. We're going to miss out."
[2024/11/24 15:11] Sapphire: Emily hmmms, elbowing her allies, and eying the armored folks.
[2024/11/24 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Guy: "Barkeep! Three ales."
[2024/11/24 15:12] Jassie): /me starts heading out back
[2024/11/24 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Other guy: (seeing Jassie): "Oh, hey doll... not leaving on our account?"
[2024/11/24 15:12] Nero: makes sure he manages to snag a bottle and then causally starts to walk away not showing the front of his face as he heads to the back
[2024/11/24 15:13] Nero: ((nero in his head.....god dammit nun.....your ass fixing to get us in trouble
[2024/11/24 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: First guy, with an ale in his hand: "Hey, you guys look well tooled up. Looking for a job? We got one."
[2024/11/24 15:14] Jassie): "Oh no, not at all,." just leaving to get some prayers done
[2024/11/24 15:14] Kylie: Oh what type of job
[2024/11/24 15:14] Nero: squints a laya
[2024/11/24 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Third guy gives the other two a slap. "Guys! Shush. Not sure we should be shouting our business out here."
[2024/11/24 15:15] Nero: layla*
[2024/11/24 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Second guy, to Kylie: "We got a contract to hit a dragon. Somewhere out in that sand... and all the gold we can haul away."
[2024/11/24 15:15] Nero: but waits clearly he wasnt these guys type for now he does his best to "blend in" but stay close by and let the ladies handle this one thankfully that question about a job didnt get them recognised
[2024/11/24 15:16] Jassie): "well you should have no issues with that, with your amazing stature then."
[2024/11/24 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Guy #2 preens. Guy #3 slaps him again. "Knock it off, hey? We got to catch up with the others, a doll wil only slow us down. Now let's get water and get outta here."
[2024/11/24 15:18] Sapphire: "You look pretty tooled up too. but to go after a dragon? Aren't you worried?"
[2024/11/24 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Guy #1, quaffing ale. "Nah, there's a bunch of us and we got a little surprise or two for the bugger."
[2024/11/24 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: What's Mecha doing?
[2024/11/24 15:22] Mecha: Shopping for supplies. using cloth to cover most of her face and getting supplies, since it would get things done faster.
[2024/11/24 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: What you buying?
[2024/11/24 15:24] Kylie: I'm buying a cask of ale
[2024/11/24 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: A barrel of ale will set you back about 50gp
[2024/11/24 15:24] Mecha: Food, some desert cloaks, some water since we will be in the desert. General tools in case we need repairs and if the cart breaks down.
[2024/11/24 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: How much water?
[2024/11/24 15:25] Nero: i go halfies on the barral if we need it
[2024/11/24 15:25] Kylie: Ok I but the cask
[2024/11/24 15:25] Nero: and definately need a baral of water to
[2024/11/24 15:26] Mecha: Figure a few water skins and maybe a barrel to go in the cart, as long as we're careful
[2024/11/24 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: That'll have the cart to capacity.
[2024/11/24 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: and a water barrel will set you back 10gp
[2024/11/24 15:27] Mecha: That's fine
[2024/11/24 15:27] Nero: sounds goo to me
[2024/11/24 15:27] Jassie): well, we'll go find Mecha and give her some to help out
[2024/11/24 15:27] Jassie): gold that is
[2024/11/24 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Well. Ready for your desert excursion?
[2024/11/24 15:28] Jassie): i suppose lol
[2024/11/24 15:29] Mecha: If we can't find ice cream I think we are good to go
[2024/11/24 15:29] Jassie): oooo ice cream!
[2024/11/24 15:29] Sapphire: "Well, if you have a real plan for the dragon, how much can you cut us in for to get some extra backup?"
[2024/11/24 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: A desert is unusual in the kingdom; indeed this is the only desert. You may wonder how it came to be.
[2024/11/24 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Centuries past, the vast expanse of the Great Nef Desert is whispered to have been born from the ambition of the legendary mage Malakar, who sought an ultimate weapon of unimaginable power. In his relentless quest, Malakar procured pitchblende and, through intricate alchemical processes, transmuted it into a potent yellow powder. Ultimately, he extracted a dense metal from this concoction, triggering a cataclysmic explosion that reshaped the land, leaving behind a desolate desert scattered with shards of glass where once stood vibrant landscapes."
[2024/11/24 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hope you all got back-up characters rolled :) Ready? There's a road leading out of town and straight out to the dunes.
[2024/11/24 15:31] Jassie): lol, the forewarning
[2024/11/24 15:32] Sapphire: ( Emily is thinking the best way to learn about these dudes is to pretend to join them, or at least squeeze them for intel. )
[2024/11/24 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, into the sands...? Or you still going to talk to the guys?
[2024/11/24 15:33] Jassie): i would strongly suggest not maybe?
[2024/11/24 15:34] Kylie: sand
[2024/11/24 15:34] Jassie): if they find out, could be entire town against us lol
[2024/11/24 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: The scrubland rapidly gives way to sand. The heat rises literally with every yard and the sun hammers down hotter literally at each step.
[2024/11/24 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie... roll a D4
[2024/11/24 15:35] D4: Kylie rolls 2
[2024/11/24 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: And another description for you to enjoy: "The Great Nef is a sprawling, sun-scorched desert that stretches endlessly under an oppressive sky, its golden sands shifting like a tidal sea. Treacherous sandstorms rage with little warning, obscuring the horizon and swallowing travelers whole, while mythical creatures are said to roam its vastness. Oasis pockets may offer respite but can be illusory traps set by cunning tricksters; the Great Nef is not just a harsh landscape, but a living tapestry of danger, mystery, and forgotten magic, beckoning bold souls to uncover its secrets."
[2024/11/24 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: A 2! Oh my.
[2024/11/24 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: You've travelled for about three hours when you see a raggedly-looking man staggering in your direction across the dunes.
[2024/11/24 15:36] Nero: lovely this all is making me thristy
[2024/11/24 15:37] Sapphire: Emily waves to him
[2024/11/24 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Raggedy man: (waves wildly and staggers forwards, half running, half staggering."
[2024/11/24 15:38] Jassie): lol emily just waves to him haha
[2024/11/24 15:38] Sapphire: "you look like you had a rough day."
[2024/11/24 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: The man staggers up, his skin reddened and tender looking. "Water" he wheezes. "Water!"
[2024/11/24 15:39] Mecha: Hand him one of my personal water skins
[2024/11/24 15:39] Jassie): gives him some of mine
[2024/11/24 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: The man literally chugs it all down.
[2024/11/24 15:40] Nero: looks for any birds around
[2024/11/24 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Man: "Thanks, friends. You want my advice? Turn back! Come with me back to town."
[2024/11/24 15:41] Jassie): what happened?
[2024/11/24 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Man: "We ran into a sandstorm. Sand just whipped up like the very devil, couldn't see a hand in front of our faces. I guess I got separated... they vanished, swallowed up by the sands, it seems."
[2024/11/24 15:42] Jassie): whispers: "hmm sandstorm huh, which direction was it
[2024/11/24 15:42] Jassie): oops
[2024/11/24 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: The man just laughs. "How am I supposed to know? This is a sea of sand, in case you haven't noticed!"
[2024/11/24 15:43] Sapphire: "Who were you with?"
[2024/11/24 15:43] Jassie): yes yes of course,
[2024/11/24 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Man: "Bunch of Ragnars' guys. You may run into what's left of them. Or you may not, I don't know, I'm done with this job."
[2024/11/24 15:44] Jassie): question, who is this ragnar?
[2024/11/24 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Man: "Who is Ragnar....? One men sonuvabitch... a bounty hunter. We went up a mountain to whack a dragon... he didn't bat an eyelid at all that blood. Now he's after another out there in the sands."
[2024/11/24 15:45] Mecha: I refill my water skin and give it to him."Well you had best get going. Don't want to be caught in another storm."
[2024/11/24 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Man: "Come with me... this place is a deathtrap. Who knows how many bones are under the sands."
[2024/11/24 15:47] Sapphire: "Yeah, sounds like that dragon knows how to defend himself if he raised a sandstorm."
[2024/11/24 15:47] Jassie): smiles at the man, "well we cant do that, we have something we need to do, so yes.."
[2024/11/24 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Man (sighs): "Thanks, friends, you saved my life. Sorry I got nothing to trade, but if I can ever repay you, I will... think hard about turning back. Farewell."
[2024/11/24 15:49] Jassie): Of course,I'm sure our paths will cross once more
[2024/11/24 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Heading on? Who's leading the party?
[2024/11/24 15:50] Jassie): good question lol
[2024/11/24 15:51] Mecha: Heading one and This one is gonna walk. Those who need to rest or get spells situated, now would be a good time for it
[2024/11/24 15:51] Kylie: im continuing
[2024/11/24 15:51] Sapphire: stay with the group I hope!
[2024/11/24 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, are you leading the party? Have you delegated navigation to anyone? This would be a task that requires considerable applied knowledge.
[2024/11/24 15:52] Jassie): tries to find a cactus in the desert'
[2024/11/24 15:52] Nero: im here just quiet rough weekend
[2024/11/24 15:53] Nero: and works for me mecha
[2024/11/24 15:53] Mecha: Right now this none is leading the horses. If someone has knowledge of travel, best for them to direct. Right now the only idea this one has is keep moving forward. Make it until night time and go from there. We still have winter stuff should night be too cold.
[2024/11/24 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie. D20
[2024/11/24 15:53] D20: Jassie rolls 7
[2024/11/24 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: The dunes all look alike and they seem to shift. The air shimmers with heat - but you are quite certain you are following the right bearing.
[2024/11/24 15:55] Kylie: I will look for hints in the direction to follow
[2024/11/24 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: And the sun is setting, the temperature is dropping, slowly at first, but faster as the sun gets lower.
[2024/11/24 15:55] Jassie): any cacti i've seen so far?
[2024/11/24 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Some, looking very spindly, anemic and scrawny
[2024/11/24 15:55] Jassie): changes to her winter stuff
[2024/11/24 15:56] Kylie: puts on old fur
[2024/11/24 15:56] Jassie): goes up to one and use speak with plants
[2024/11/24 15:56] Jassie): gives it some of my water

[2024/11/24 15:57] D20: Nero rolls 6
[2024/11/24 15:57] Jassie): I just want to ask, if it knows the direction of a group of wagons that passed before and possibly places to avoid, or if it knows where Thunderax might be
[2024/11/24 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: The day has been hard and tough. All except Mecha have managed to shrug off the worst of the day, but, Mecha has found it harder. Gain 1/2 level exhaustion.
[2024/11/24 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Pray harder for Speak with Plants, your god may grant it :P
[2024/11/24 15:59] Jassie): hehe
[2024/11/24 15:59] Nero: haha
[2024/11/24 15:59] Jassie): okok speak with animals
[2024/11/24 15:59] Nero: gives the plant a little water
[2024/11/24 15:59] Jassie): that I can do
[2024/11/24 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: if it's any help, the cactus gets wet.
[2024/11/24 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: What animal?
[2024/11/24 15:59] Jassie): whispers: any
[2024/11/24 15:59] Mecha: Makes sense this one did not take much rest time on this part of the trip
[2024/11/24 15:59] Jassie): snakes, scorpions
[2024/11/24 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a desert... and those aren't "animals"

[2024/11/24 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: meanwhile I take it you are all drawing water from the barrel?
[2024/11/24 16:01] Nero: lol
[2024/11/24 16:01] Sapphire: who decided that scorpians aren't animals?
[2024/11/24 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: I wouldn't know
[2024/11/24 16:01] Sapphire: does the spell say "speak with mammal?"
[2024/11/24 16:02] Jassie): pretty much, and I need to get some rest dears
