[2024/12/15 13:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: right... two minutes... who we expecting... Jassie, Rip...
[2024/12/15 13:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'll have to find some stirring music for next weeks' epic combat
[2024/12/15 13:50] Kylie: Hi Saphire
[2024/12/15 13:50] Sapphire: maybe grab some game soundtrack stuff
[2024/12/15 13:50] Sapphire: Alina of the Arena has a short but plausible set
[2024/12/15 13:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: So.... we wait for Rip and Jassie....
[2024/12/15 13:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: tonight we should tie up a few loose ends and set the scene, so to speak, for the big boss fight.... got to admit, I've enjoyed the year.
[2024/12/15 13:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: sad to see it end, but as I've hinted strongly... there IS a sequel ;)
[2024/12/15 13:54] Sapphire: big boss fight
[2024/12/15 13:55] Sapphire: oh yeah, missed last session
[2024/12/15 13:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Big boss fight. We're talking at least four dragons.
[2024/12/15 13:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: seems we're waiting on Jassie only
[2024/12/15 14:00] Mecha: okay...
[2024/12/15 14:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Two trophies
[2024/12/15 14:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: I thought right at the beginning that two guests who really shone, should be recognized. Well, I thought ONE, but, it became impossible to choose
[2024/12/15 14:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: more on that next week
[2024/12/15 14:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me muses on just how hard a choice it was.... the one who rolled up a character then disappeared saying we couldn't/shouldn't teach her new stuff.... the guy with the AI pet that he thought knew all the rules... or the bunny butt who rage quit on being slightly inconvenienced when charging the enemy. So many choices!
[2024/12/15 14:05] Sapphire: AI pet?
[2024/12/15 14:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: so he said
[2024/12/15 14:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: alrighty, it's just us
[2024/12/15 14:07] Sapphire: brb
[2024/12/15 14:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Last week, you managed to enlist Thunderax to your cause, and Sonja y Ddraig Goch managed to get Emeraldis and Obsidianis to join as well.
[2024/12/15 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: And you found a Note, signed P Wyatt, saying to meet the contact at the Mended Drum.
[2024/12/15 14:10] Sapphire: back
[2024/12/15 14:10] Mecha: Yeah we found a ...Wait what?
[2024/12/15 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that recap out of the way.... GGGGGGGGGGRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEETTTIIINNGGGSSSS Adventurers! Other players get epic boss fights, you get a mission to find some guy in a bar.
[2024/12/15 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: ?
[2024/12/15 14:10] Sapphire: Emily, after a long trip back through the deserts, is going to inquire if the mended drum offers a bath service at all. Or, possibly, somewhere else in this town
[2024/12/15 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, the Mended Drum is in the capital city, a days' travel south
[2024/12/15 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: As for baths, there's inns here and there
[2024/12/15 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me waits to hear about Mechas' effing and blinding
[2024/12/15 14:14] Mecha: *Just did not remember the note*
[2024/12/15 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's in the log on the site :P
[2024/12/15 14:14] Mecha: I'm gonna get things together. I think we should tell Sonja about the note. If I remember correctly that is kind of enemy territory
[2024/12/15 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... Kylie? What's your plan
[2024/12/15 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: (You already did. How drunk were you since then??)
[2024/12/15 14:15] Mecha: *Not drunk just tired... Drunk would have been nice*
[2024/12/15 14:16] Kylie: I think we should stay at the inn
[2024/12/15 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: probably won't hurt, for a day, plus you need to plan. What are you you going to do? How you going to go about this?
[2024/12/15 14:17] Mecha: *Okay re-caught up*
[2024/12/15 14:18] Mecha: I suggest we travel to the city, find an inn just outside it and stay there, so we can rest and get cleaned up.
[2024/12/15 14:18] Kylie: punch the door and find a room and fortify it from the inn keeper?
[2024/12/15 14:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me tries not to face palm
[2024/12/15 14:20] Mecha: *The spirit of a halforc woman appears."YEAH PUNCH IT! if that doesn't work KICK IT!!!*
[2024/12/15 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me waits stoically
[2024/12/15 14:20] Kylie: im consistant
[2024/12/15 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: this is true
[2024/12/15 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: your door destroying abilities are phenomenal
[2024/12/15 14:21] Sapphire: Resting and getting cleaned up sounds good
[2024/12/15 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now, if you're heading to the capital, again, you got two choices... main road is quicker, but might be more trouble. Back ways slower, but safer.
[2024/12/15 14:22] Mecha: Back way is logical, but it is up to you all
[2024/12/15 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie, Sapphire?
[2024/12/15 14:24] Kylie: Back way
[2024/12/15 14:25] Sapphire: what sort of "trouble" ?
[2024/12/15 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie can roll a d20.... see if you roll under 17
[2024/12/15 14:25] D20: Kylie rolls 7
[2024/12/15 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, no trouble on day 1.
[2024/12/15 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, you can roll the d20 as well for day 2
[2024/12/15 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Or Mecha can.
[2024/12/15 14:28] D20: Mecha rolls 20
[2024/12/15 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me facepalms
[2024/12/15 14:28] Kylie: day 2 is Fed
[2024/12/15 14:29] Mecha: Considering this ones luck with dice. you would know better than to point this one towards dice
[2024/12/15 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: The "trouble" is about half a dozen soldiers tramping out of a farm house. They spot you, and then do a double-take, since, you're the exact party that is on their "Wanted" posters they are distributing. "You!" shouts one, "Stop in the name of the Queen!"
[2024/12/15 14:31] Mecha: ... the queen? Do any of you remember a queen or do i really need sleep.
[2024/12/15 14:31] Kylie: shouts "Fake Queen"
[2024/12/15 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: the realm is ruled by a queen... someone has to rule it
[2024/12/15 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: The soldiers spread out, raising their spears and approaching on both sides. "Surrender!" demands one of them.
[2024/12/15 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Time to roll initiative.
[2024/12/15 14:32] Mecha: *Oh gods, this one can not resist*
[2024/12/15 14:33] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 19
[2024/12/15 14:33] Mecha: Oh you mean to surrender to us? Very well, we accept."
[2024/12/15 14:33] D20: Mecha rolls 2
[2024/12/15 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie, Sapphire, d20 for initiative
[2024/12/15 14:34] D20: Kylie rolls 3
[2024/12/15 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: christ on a cock... well, it was nice knowing you all... Sapphire?
[2024/12/15 14:34] D20: Sapphire rolls 17
[2024/12/15 14:34] D20: Sapphire rolls 4
[2024/12/15 14:35] Sapphire: ack, lag double-clicked
[2024/12/15 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: makes do difference which you rolled
[2024/12/15 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Guards go first! Three to a side, three to Kylie and three to Mecha
[2024/12/15 14:36] Sapphire: You said six soldiers?
[2024/12/15 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: yep
[2024/12/15 14:36] Sapphire: Who has the fanciest insignia?
[2024/12/15 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: S, S, S Kylie
[cart] Mecha S, S, S
[2024/12/15 14:36] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 10
[2024/12/15 14:36] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2024/12/15 14:36] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 7
[2024/12/15 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Three jab spears at Kylie, all miss
[2024/12/15 14:36] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 16
[2024/12/15 14:36] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 6
[2024/12/15 14:36] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 18
[2024/12/15 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Three jab at Mecha, two hit.
[2024/12/15 14:37] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 4
[2024/12/15 14:37] D6: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2024/12/15 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: 'tis but a scratch
[2024/12/15 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: Hard to say, they seem equally scruffy and unkempt. What are you going to do?
[2024/12/15 14:40] Sapphire: So no clear officer. and we're out numbered....
[2024/12/15 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmhmm
[2024/12/15 14:41] Sapphire: Let's use Web on one of the sides, the one with the fewest injured guards, and/or the one closest to me
[2024/12/15 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sticky strands magically appear and engulf half of the soldiers in thick sticky ropey filaments that glue them in place, cursing and struggling
[2024/12/15 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie, what do you do
[2024/12/15 14:44] Kylie: The first one that jabed at me is getting lucky ax to the head
[2024/12/15 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2024/12/15 14:44] D20: Kylie rolls 12
[2024/12/15 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: hit! d6
[2024/12/15 14:45] D6: Kylie rolls 5
[2024/12/15 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: You hack at a soldier, he goes down in a spray of blood and lays still
[2024/12/15 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha
[2024/12/15 14:46] Mecha: Gonna take a hammer swing at one of the guards that slashed me
[2024/12/15 14:46] D20: Mecha rolls 7
[2024/12/15 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Miss...
[2024/12/15 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: The two remaining guards look at each other and turn tail, running. "They killed Kenny!" "We'll get help, you guys hang on!"
[2024/12/15 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: The remaining three struggle in ther bonds, uselessly
[2024/12/15 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now what?
[2024/12/15 14:48] Kylie: Instinctively yels "You bastard!"
[2024/12/15 14:49] Sapphire: Emily grins wide as she watches, hands preparing a fresh casting gesture, wishing she had more in the way of throwables.
[2024/12/15 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2024/12/15 14:50] Mecha: Are any of the ones webbed up of the group that attacked me?
[2024/12/15 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Two of them, yes.
[2024/12/15 14:51] Mecha: I put the hammer away and go for a punch. Not trying to kill. Just annoyed about being cut
[2024/12/15 14:51] D20: Mecha rolls 19
[2024/12/15 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, .... okay, hit. D3
[2024/12/15 14:51] D6: Mecha rolls 6
[2024/12/15 14:51] Kylie: she is pissed
[2024/12/15 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: good lord
[2024/12/15 14:52] Mecha: Should have surrendered when I said so
[2024/12/15 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: that's nine total points of damage.... humans have at most eight
[2024/12/15 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: the two who see this start cursing loudly. "You bitch!" "We'll see you hang!"
[2024/12/15 14:53] Mecha: *Math doesn't math. d3 is d6 in half so 3 = 3 for strength
[2024/12/15 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: so it is
[2024/12/15 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: d3+3 is still 6 and they had 6 hp so... same result :P
[2024/12/15 14:54] Mecha: HEY! I was just going for a knock out. Bastard stabbed me!
[2024/12/15 14:55] Kylie: I strike at the one that called MEcha a bitch with my lucky axe to defend her honor
[2024/12/15 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: They men struggle more, although no less ineffectually. "You'll hang from the highest gibbet!" "You'll die slowly! Slowly!"
[2024/12/15 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh no.
[2024/12/15 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20 if so
[2024/12/15 14:55] D20: Kylie rolls 10
[2024/12/15 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, that hits... d6
[2024/12/15 14:56] D6: Kylie rolls 5
[2024/12/15 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: merde alors
[2024/12/15 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, that guy dies in a spray of blood.
[2024/12/15 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: The last one remaining starts hollering "Murderers! Murderers! Here, comrades!"
[2024/12/15 14:56] Kylie: Noone calls MEcha a bitch and lives
[2024/12/15 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire? Mecha?
[2024/12/15 14:58] Mecha: Yeahhh your buddies ran away." She looks at them." Can we just tie him up and leave him behind for his friends ?"
[2024/12/15 14:58] Sapphire: How many hostiles are left?
[2024/12/15 14:58] Sapphire: one left
[2024/12/15 14:58] Sapphire: Emily cackles and chucks her dagger at the last one.
[2024/12/15 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, he's stuck in a web
[2024/12/15 14:59] Sapphire: wait
[2024/12/15 14:59] Sapphire: oh
[2024/12/15 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh my. d20....
[2024/12/15 14:59] Sapphire: belay that throw
[2024/12/15 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay.
[2024/12/15 14:59] Sapphire: Emily does how ever walk up to gloat. "So, what were you lot even doing out here?" Her gaze checks him for deceipt
[2024/12/15 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Looking for villainous murdering scum like you!"
[2024/12/15 15:01] Mecha: You do realize you came after us. This was just us defending ourself, and again my punch was meant for a knock out.
[2024/12/15 15:02] Sapphire: She smirks, starting to get into the outlaw mindset. "Look, when you're wanted by the queen, there's no such thing as apologies anymore. How often do you check in?"
[2024/12/15 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: "You're traitors to the realm! Of course we'll came at you, you villains!" meanwhile, the guy you thumped groans.
[2024/12/15 15:03] Mecha: I run over and shake him softly."You're not dead, YES!" She then looks at Emily."I'm bad at the outlaw mindset."
[2024/12/15 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, HE's not dead, the other guy is.
[2024/12/15 15:04] Sapphire: (( how many of the guards are dead vs KO? ))
[2024/12/15 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: One dead, one unconcious, one glaring hate
[2024/12/15 15:05] Mecha: How long does this spell last?
[2024/12/15 15:05] Mecha: *ASking Emily*
[2024/12/15 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: A long time.
[2024/12/15 15:06] Sapphire: "Like an hour or two," she answers. "Though I've seen them last -much- longer than that."
[2024/12/15 15:06] Mecha: Let's just leave them and keep going. We got stuff to do, and their friends are bound to return.
[2024/12/15 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: indeed, they won't be happy when they do return, with reinforcements
[2024/12/15 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Several hours travel later and you finally make it to an inn just a short hours' hike from the city. Now what do you do? Go in, journey on?
[2024/12/15 15:08] Mecha: Go in seems logical
[2024/12/15 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2024/12/15 15:09] D20: Mecha rolls 14
[2024/12/15 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: You trip and nearly fall flat on your face. The patrons laugh out loud and the barkeeper takes up a chalk and makes a mark on the board. This is the inn you all met in, earlier in the year - the Stumble Inn
[2024/12/15 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie, Sapphire, d20
[2024/12/15 15:10] D20: Kylie rolls 18
[2024/12/15 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: More laughter and another chalk mark
[2024/12/15 15:11] D20: Sapphire rolls 8
[2024/12/15 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire doesn't trip.
[2024/12/15 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: The barkeeper laughs and reaches under the bar. "Two free ales coming right up, friends! Say.... have we met? Your faces seem kinda familiar."
[2024/12/15 15:12] Mecha: It's possible. we have those kind of faces
[2024/12/15 15:13] Sapphire: She shrugs. "Been around a few times,"
[2024/12/15 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "huh. I'm sure I know you...." He frowns, and places two ales on the bar.
[2024/12/15 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now what you doing?
[2024/12/15 15:15] Sapphire: She leaves a tip and tastes the ale. How were we supposed to know our contact?
[2024/12/15 15:15] Mecha: "Like I said it's possible. Honestly I've taken so many shots to the head I can't remember some things. But can we get a couple rooms for the night?
[2024/12/15 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Good question, Sapphire. Maybe start by looking in the Mended Drum.
[2024/12/15 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Eh. Yes, we got rooms, two gold each."
[2024/12/15 15:17] Mecha: I pay for a room for each."Is there an open space so I can get some exercise in? She pauses and hands out a coin for each of them."Oh yeah we need bath accomadations."
[2024/12/15 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Yes, out the back, just beware passing wagons."
[2024/12/15 15:19] Mecha: /me nods and takes her stuff up to her room before going to exercise. I look at the others. "Gotta make sure I am in top form for this."
[2024/12/15 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Resting for the night: Spells recovered, Mecha regains 2hp.
[2024/12/15 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: How are you planning on getting in the city?
[2024/12/15 15:21] Mecha: That is a good question
[2024/12/15 15:22] Sapphire: So we're still outside the walls, then?
[2024/12/15 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yep, an hour out
[2024/12/15 15:23] Mecha: We need a plan for entry. Any ideas?
[2024/12/15 15:25] Sapphire: "Claim to be pilgrams, hide what we're wearing?"
[2024/12/15 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie, any ideas?
[2024/12/15 15:27] Kylie: I go with the pilgum idea
[2024/12/15 15:27] Mecha: Sounds good we need disguises though.. any ideas there?
[2024/12/15 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[2024/12/15 15:29] Sapphire: "Look poor and pretend to be religious?"
[2024/12/15 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: I will say this is possibly high risk low reward
[2024/12/15 15:30] Mecha: /me We can use the old furs we got
[2024/12/15 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... that's the plan?
[2024/12/15 15:33] Mecha: It's up to the others as well
[2024/12/15 15:34] Sapphire: That could work
[2024/12/15 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie?
[2024/12/15 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: did we lose Kylie?
[2024/12/15 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... guess we better move on.... how are you doing this?
[2024/12/15 15:41] Sapphire: preparing very plain looking robes and plotting out what questions the guards are likely to ask of us
[2024/12/15 15:41] Mecha: Wrap up in old furs to travel in
[2024/12/15 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... it's an hour to the city... traffic starts building up and you very slowly approach the city gate. A guard wanders out, with his spear, holding up a hand to indicate to stop
[2024/12/15 15:44] Mecha: well we stop
[2024/12/15 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Guard wanders around the cart. "Where you going? Aren't you hot in those furs?"
