[2024/12/22 14:11] Jassie: heyas
[2024/12/22 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, let's get this urban adventure on the road
[2024/12/22 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Last week: the party snuck into the capital city, and had a run-in with some guards and fisticuffs was the result.
[2024/12/22 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: The party is looking for Ragnars' contact in the Mended Drum
[2024/12/22 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: and we finished with a chance encounter in the streets: A goblin Mage is visibly annoyed by a crow beside them as they work on writing a scroll at a table in front of a public diner. “Shut it, bird!” they shout as the crow retorts back “Asshole! Rawwwr! Asshole!”
[2024/12/22 14:13] Sapphire: is the goblin working indoors or in the street?
[2024/12/22 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: And with that recap out of the way... GGGGGGGGRRRRREEEEEEEEEETTTTTIIINNGGGSSS Adventurers! Other players get to plunder the depths of the deep Underdark, you get to wander out in the back alleys of a city.
[2024/12/22 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: "at a table in front of a public diner"
[2024/12/22 14:14] Sapphire: pick the right city, that's even more dangerous than the underdark
[2024/12/22 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: luckily this is not Ankh Morpork
[2024/12/22 14:15] Jassie: lol
[2024/12/22 14:15] Jassie: wait i know that.... Discworld i think?
[2024/12/22 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmhmm
[2024/12/22 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, what are you going to suggest doing?
[2024/12/22 14:17] Mecha: Can we get going soon. I am not a fan of being out and about in the city.
[2024/12/22 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: what's everyone else say to that?
[2024/12/22 14:18] Rip: Have we gotten the information we came to get?
[2024/12/22 14:18] Jassie: well yea of course, something doesn't feel right to you also?
[2024/12/22 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, still got to find the Mended Drum, yet
[2024/12/22 14:19] Kylie: My vote is to go do some smashing Thank you so much
[2024/12/22 14:20] Mecha: We go to mended drum get the info and and go. if smashing is needed we smash but until then...
[2024/12/22 14:20] Rip: I agree with Mecha,
[2024/12/22 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: The crow flies over and around, and screeches loudly. "Outlaws! Bandits! Awwwwaarrkkk!"
[2024/12/22 14:20] Jassie: yea. keep it down low for now
[2024/12/22 14:21] Sapphire: "Quiet, bird. Here," she chucks some bread in the crows direction to distract them
[2024/12/22 14:21] Jassie: "and we're not bandits.... "shakes her head at the crow.
[2024/12/22 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2024/12/22 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll under 10
[2024/12/22 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Sapphire)
[2024/12/22 14:22] D20: Sapphire rolls 1
[2024/12/22 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: omg *GIGGLES*
[2024/12/22 14:22] Sapphire: :D
[2024/12/22 14:23] Jassie: (woah)
[2024/12/22 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: The crow snatches the bread out of the air and flies back to the goblin mage. "Suckers!" the bird cackles, then "But not as big a sucker as YOU, ugly!" (this last to the goblin mage). The goblin mage waves a hand as if swatting a fly. "You fucking nuisance!" Then, to you: "Hey, sorry about that, friends."
[2024/12/22 14:26] Rip: Should we ask the mage for directions to the Masked Drum?
[2024/12/22 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hard to say, that bird is clearly a trouble maker.
[2024/12/22 14:26] Jassie: but the goblin is friendly enough yea
[2024/12/22 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Anyway, the Mended Drum is famous, it's at the end of Short Street, which is the longest street in the city, which shows British humour in a nutshell
[2024/12/22 14:27] Jassie: LOL
[2024/12/22 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, onwards?
[2024/12/22 14:28] Mecha: Then let's go
[2024/12/22 14:28] Rip: Lets go
[2024/12/22 14:28] Sapphire: the other thing it shows
[2024/12/22 14:28] Jassie: yes, try to avoid the bird before he gets us in trouble
[2024/12/22 14:28] Sapphire: is that british humor fits in a nutshell
[2024/12/22 14:28] Sapphire: *ducks*
[2024/12/22 14:29] Sapphire: But yes, onwards!
[2024/12/22 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay... it's not long before you arrive at the Mended Drum, the double doors have reinforced hinges that swing both ways, and two burly orcs stand either side of the entrance. The Mended Drum is famous mostly because of the constant fights and large number of smugglers and desperados who inhabit the place.
[2024/12/22 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me flings a piece of cold pizza at Mecha
[2024/12/22 14:30] Mecha: Why this one?!
[2024/12/22 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Easier target, Sapphire ducked.
[2024/12/22 14:30] Mecha: Also thank you Mistress, could do with some pineapple
[2024/12/22 14:30] Jassie: try to catch it in mid air
[2024/12/22 14:30] Jassie: XD
[2024/12/22 14:30] Sapphire: are the burly orcs blockading the door?
[2024/12/22 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, going in?
[2024/12/22 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Standing either side, as guards
[2024/12/22 14:31] Rip: Lets go in
[2024/12/22 14:31] Jassie: yup
[2024/12/22 14:31] Jassie: lets
[2024/12/22 14:31] Kylie: this seems my kinda place
[2024/12/22 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: The Broken Drum inn features a cozy, dimly-lit interior with rough-hewn wooden beams and a stone hearth crackling with firelight, creating an inviting atmosphere. The scent of hearty stew and stale ale lingers in the air as local patrons gather around scarred tables, sharing stories and laughter amidst the warm glow of flickering lanterns.
[2024/12/22 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: who wants to roll a d20?
[2024/12/22 14:32] Rip: Jassie does
[2024/12/22 14:32] Jassie: sure
[2024/12/22 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll the d20!
[2024/12/22 14:32] D20: Jassie rolls 1
[2024/12/22 14:32] Sapphire: Emily will stay with the group
[2024/12/22 14:32] Jassie: LOL
[2024/12/22 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: omg
[2024/12/22 14:32] Rip: The D20 seems stuck
[2024/12/22 14:33] Jassie: I think i need a reroll
[2024/12/22 14:33] Kylie: i look around to see if anyone has this stew i smell
[2024/12/22 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: There are a lot of desperados and ne'er do wells quaffing ale. And, standing out like a sore thumb, a robed figure in one of the alcoves. Unlike the rest of the rough and tough types quaffing ale, this figure sits with a small thimble-sized glass of strong spirits. Although dressed in a tattered robe and an unassuming outfit, his keen eyes dart about impatiently as if awaiting someone.
[2024/12/22 14:34] Mecha: I look to ragnar."So, is your buddy here?"
[2024/12/22 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: (He's not Ragnar. You let Thunderax eat Ragnar.)
[2024/12/22 14:35] Jassie: lol yea was about to say
[2024/12/22 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Robed guy: "You're Ragnar? You don't -look- like a Ragnar. Sorry, that's rude of me, maybe. Thorian Emberhart, at your service. I'm afraid Fenwick couldn't make it tonight, he fell ill."
[2024/12/22 14:35] Mecha: *Er the goblin mage*
[2024/12/22 14:35] Jassie: "A pleasure to meet you."
[2024/12/22 14:35] Sapphire: Emily makes their way over to the robed figure, their own dress a similar style. "Evening Thorian. A pleasure to meet you."
[2024/12/22 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Robed Guy: "So, what news? Did you get the next one?"
[2024/12/22 14:37] Jassie: looks at the others
[2024/12/22 14:38] Rip: He is asking about Thunderax? Should we say we did?
[2024/12/22 14:39] Jassie: ok... since no one saying anything, "it might have not gotten through from seeing him still flying around..."
[2024/12/22 14:39] Sapphire: (( I think i missed a session so don't know the situation ))
[2024/12/22 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: sure you want to go with that?
[2024/12/22 14:39] Jassie: i dont know? noones making a decision
[2024/12/22 14:40] Mecha: I am keeping quiet not wanting to give away too much
[2024/12/22 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Robed Guy blinks. "Still flying.... then why are you here... wait! You're not Ragnar! Who are you?"
[2024/12/22 14:41] Rip: Emily needs to say something, she approached, but lets tell him we failed?
[2024/12/22 14:42] Sapphire: (( Ah crud, um, what would Emily know to be the situation ?))
[2024/12/22 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: ( That there is a conspiracy to kill dragons )
[2024/12/22 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: ( with the exception of Sonja y Ddraig Goch and Emberclaw )
[2024/12/22 14:43] Rip: Tell him Ragnar died in the attempt and we were sent for instructions?
[2024/12/22 14:43] Mecha: We are trouble for the wrong people."Narrows her eyes." Are you the wrong people?
[2024/12/22 14:43] Sapphire: "Ragnar unfortunately was not able to be here," she clarifies
[2024/12/22 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian gets up and tosses his cloak over his shoulder, revealing the rapier dangling from his belt. "We'll see about that, milady!"
[2024/12/22 14:45] Jassie: woah! relax over there with the weapon, don't shoot the messengers!
[2024/12/22 14:45] Sapphire: "I take it you're not happy to see us," she sighs, backing up.
[2024/12/22 14:46] Rip: Backing up but prepared for trouble
[2024/12/22 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian: "Pleasant and charming this little sortie into the lair of the riff raff was, I think I shall take my leave now and wish you a good day!"
[2024/12/22 14:48] Sapphire: ( Dang it )
[2024/12/22 14:48] Kylie: Holds up lucky axe in anticipation
[2024/12/22 14:48] Mecha: *Can't believe this one is gonna do this but.*
[2024/12/22 14:48] Rip: (Let him leave and go talk to the goblin?)
[2024/12/22 14:48] Jassie: hmmm...we could grab em
[2024/12/22 14:48] Mecha: I'm gonna go for a punch to knock him back and then try to press him into his seat.
[2024/12/22 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2024/12/22 14:49] D20: Mecha rolls 18
[2024/12/22 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: and the d6
[2024/12/22 14:49] D6: Mecha rolls 2
[2024/12/22 14:49] Rip: I notice Mecha's response to everything is a punch to the face.
[2024/12/22 14:50] Kylie: mecha is dangourious with her minor threats
[2024/12/22 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a solid punch to the face that results in one bloody nose and Thorian slamming back down.
[2024/12/22 14:50] Jassie: quickly goes forward to to cover his mouth and restrain him
[2024/12/22 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian: "By dose! You broke it! You thugs!"
[2024/12/22 14:50] Mecha: I'm gonna lean in and press him down, one hand on his sword arm
[2024/12/22 14:51] Sapphire: (( Remind me the intel we needed from this guy? ))
[2024/12/22 14:51] Rip: Looks around to see if anyone notices or cares
[2024/12/22 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: A nearby table of thugs are looking on, and when they see you looking, they raise their glasses and nod approvingly
[2024/12/22 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian: "Alright, alright, enough, I say! You broke my dose! I was only supposed to be here on the offchance of meeting Ragnar. What do you want?"
[2024/12/22 14:52] Mecha: Tell us everything you were supposed to discuss with Ragnar
[2024/12/22 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian sniffles. "I don't know! I'm just standing in for Fenwick who fell ill. He just said meet Ragnar, if he shows, find out if they got the second dragon, and are they going for the third."
[2024/12/22 14:54] Sapphire: "Fell ill you say? Did you actually *meet* Fenwick?"
[2024/12/22 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian: "Of -course-... he's my best friend and confidant."
[2024/12/22 14:55] Jassie: oh, then take us to him then
[2024/12/22 14:55] Mecha: Then here is the deal. Ragnar didn't survive Dragon flew for a bit, but we took it down. That is all you need. We got off on the wrong foot, you motioned to your sword I responded as threatened
[2024/12/22 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian (sulkily): "Okay, okay... so... you're going for the third dragon, you're after the reward?"
[2024/12/22 14:57] Mecha: wait reward? Any of you get told about a reward? Also sorry about your nose.
[2024/12/22 14:57] Jassie: I'll proceed to mend it for the guy
[2024/12/22 14:57] Jassie: don't move too much and it will be quick
[2024/12/22 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian: "Of course there's a reward. 25,000 gold per dragon, once confirmed, as agreed with Wyatt."
[2024/12/22 14:58] Rip: How do we confirm it?
[2024/12/22 14:58] Mecha: Damn it, if Ragnar was still alive I'd kill him. he never said a damn thing about a reward.
[2024/12/22 14:59] Sapphire: "Quite a lot even split five ways."
[2024/12/22 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian: "Once the bodies are delivered to the warehouse and stitched back together, and we get word they're good."
[2024/12/22 14:59] Jassie: "probably was gonna keep it all to himself." as I mend the guy's nose
[2024/12/22 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian: *squawks and wails*
[2024/12/22 14:59] Jassie: oh dont be a baby
[2024/12/22 15:00] Jassie: pushes his nose back straight and cleans it up a little, "there you go, all good as new."
[2024/12/22 15:01] Mecha: As for third one if we're going bounty hunting, give us a name and a direction and we're off
[2024/12/22 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian: "Don't you have the list?"
[2024/12/22 15:02] Kylie: i could smash so many doors for 25000gp
[2024/12/22 15:02] Mecha: Ragnar kinda died before telling us about a bounty, do you really think he was gonna give us a list?
[2024/12/22 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian: "Well, I don't know, do I? Fenwick or Wyatt might know. I'm sure Ragnar had a list."
[2024/12/22 15:04] Mecha: I knew we should have looted him. We're going in blind." Fine, whatever." AS she stops leaning on him.
[2024/12/22 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: ( You did get the list, remember? )
[2024/12/22 15:05] Jassie: (nope lol)
[2024/12/22 15:06] Kylie: which one of us has the list
[2024/12/22 15:06] Rip: Who has the list?
[2024/12/22 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha.
[2024/12/22 15:06] Sapphire: (( Remembering things is a lot to ask of this group. ))
[2024/12/22 15:06] Sapphire: Emily checks her pockets
[2024/12/22 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: (It's why logs are on the site!)
[2024/12/22 15:08] Jassie: (yes maam!)
[2024/12/22 15:08] Mecha: I will realize it but right now she will keep playing dumb and angry. It's not only for the guy but the crowd so no body tries anything*
[2024/12/22 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me reproduces: "Ragnar. We need you to carry out a task of utmost importance. You must kill several dragons, and ensure the entireity of their bodies are transported to our warehouse. You'll need at least a score of wagons, and I suggest the best mercenaries you can find. These are the dragons: Blizarra, Thunderax. These are the easiest to find. Then Emeraldis and Obsidianis, and that's the lot. Under NO account are you to trouble either Emberclaw or Sonja y Ddraig Goch - these two are offlimits. Meet my contact at the Mended Drum if you need anything. Signed, P Wyatt" (royal seal)
[2024/12/22 15:09] Rip: (Do we let him go and what about the gnome mage?)
[2024/12/22 15:09] Kylie: oh yeah this list
[2024/12/22 15:10] Mecha: "Just, just go. Tell them Ragnar is dead but so is the dragon and some mercenaries are going after the next one."
[2024/12/22 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: (He's probably finished dinner and long gone.)
[2024/12/22 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thorian scowls and sidles out, slinking out the inn, his head down to avoid being seen
[2024/12/22 15:11] Kylie: I will grab stew off a random table and walk out
[2024/12/22 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: *GIGGLES*
[2024/12/22 15:11] Sapphire: bwahahah
[2024/12/22 15:12] Rip: Follows everyone out
[2024/12/22 15:12] Jassie: cant say no to free food :)
[2024/12/22 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me awaits Mecha
[2024/12/22 15:14] Sapphire: staying with the group!
[2024/12/22 15:14] Jassie: lets quickly head out now that we've already passed on the info to the dude Wyatt
[2024/12/22 15:14] Jassie: or fenwick
[2024/12/22 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you leave, one of the orcs' reaches out and grabs Mecha. "Oi, you. You gave that dandy a bloody nose."
[2024/12/22 15:14] Mecha: I walk out as well. Glad no one reacted to the stolen stew. She looks at the goblin magic user."Now what?"
[2024/12/22 15:15] Jassie: (oh boy.)
[2024/12/22 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: ( why is everyone fixated on a goblin magic user... )
[2024/12/22 15:16] Mecha: Yeah?
[2024/12/22 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: The orc holding Mecha leers at her. Possibly; it's hard to tell with the tusks and all.
[2024/12/22 15:16] Mecha: I look at the Orc as I say that."Didn't break nothin' in the bar and his nose got fixed
[2024/12/22 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Yeah," says the other orc. "There was blood everywhere!"
[2024/12/22 15:17] Sapphire: "Cleans up with hot water just fine...."
[2024/12/22 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: "I like it," says the first orc, "A lady with spirit. What's dat word... feisty."
[2024/12/22 15:17] Rip: (I think the Orc likes you)
[2024/12/22 15:17] Jassie: chuckles
[2024/12/22 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Yeah," says the second orc. "Feisty. A girl you can fight tooth and nail with."
[2024/12/22 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: First orc: "Whaddya say, missy? I'm off shift... erm.... sometime... wanna go... erm... drink ale?"
[2024/12/22 15:18] Mecha: I lightly tap him on the chest."And if ya had a pair of tits, I'd show ya more feisty stuff. But I'm always good for a scrap."
[2024/12/22 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: First orc: "Hot damn! A scrap! I really gone and pulled, now!"
[2024/12/22 15:19] Mecha: Thanks for making me feel wanted though
[2024/12/22 15:19] Rip: Prepares for a fight
[2024/12/22 15:19] Mecha: Not with you two, but with you two against some bastard
[2024/12/22 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: First orc: "Awh." Second orc: "Give the bastard one from us, at least."
[2024/12/22 15:20] Jassie: relax rip, Mecha has it handled
[2024/12/22 15:20] Mecha: I smile."You two seem like fun, I'll give them three from each of ya."
[2024/12/22 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: First orc: "Yeah! You do that, missy!"
[2024/12/22 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, now what you planning? The day is getting on.
[2024/12/22 15:21] Sapphire: Emily considers this interaction as they walk away, surprised. "Maybe I need to punch people more often..."
[2024/12/22 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Can't hurt.
[2024/12/22 15:21] Mecha: I smile and nod as we start walking away.. Once far enough out."I'm open to ideas there." AS I take out the list.
[2024/12/22 15:21] Jassie: hey always seems to work in some way,
[2024/12/22 15:21] Rip: Shakes his head, that will get us all in trouble quickly
[2024/12/22 15:22] Jassie: or that lol
[2024/12/22 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: works for Kylie.
[2024/12/22 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: And she got stew.
[2024/12/22 15:22] Jassie: exactly
[2024/12/22 15:23] Kylie: yeap
[2024/12/22 15:23] Rip: So do we have what we need to get out of town?
[2024/12/22 15:23] Sapphire: "So. The warehouse. Where the remaining items are being stored and worked on."
[2024/12/22 15:23] Jassie: (brb)
[2024/12/22 15:24] Sapphire: "We know where it is yet?"
[2024/12/22 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hard to say, you've not learned much more than you already knew.
[2024/12/22 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: No.
[2024/12/22 15:24] Mecha: Punching people is not always the answer. It is just more direct in some cases, and I think if that hadn't gone that way we would have had the whole town after us.
[2024/12/22 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, where/what now? Seems the only lead you have is Wyatt, with a royal seal.
[2024/12/22 15:27] Mecha: Since we are far enough away I'm going to lean against the nearest wall."Holy shit."
[2024/12/22 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: aaaaand theeeeeen....?
[2024/12/22 15:28] Rip: Do we have a copy of the Seal or know where Wyatt is a noble from?
[2024/12/22 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: there's only one royal seal
[2024/12/22 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: and, only one Wyatt with a royal seal
[2024/12/22 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, who has a suggestion on what to do next?
[2024/12/22 15:31] Sapphire: we know where wyatt is?
[2024/12/22 15:31] Jassie: if its a royal seal, probably at the castle?
[2024/12/22 15:31] Jassie: if there is one
[2024/12/22 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Almost certainly in his tower
[2024/12/22 15:31] Rip: What is our next objective, what do we tell Thunder we were going to do?
[2024/12/22 15:31] Mecha: I am going to look at that list again. Something is nagging at me.
[2024/12/22 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie should know where it is, she got killed there.... just before Sonja y Ddraig Goch smashed it to kindling
[2024/12/22 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: What troubles you, Mecha?
[2024/12/22 15:33] Jassie: oh tthat asshole
[2024/12/22 15:33] Mecha: Did you notice the dragons but leave Sonja and Emberclaw alone?
[2024/12/22 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's what it says.
[2024/12/22 15:33] Mecha: IS it just me or does it seem odd?
[2024/12/22 15:34] Sapphire: "Planned, or are they just scared?"
[2024/12/22 15:34] Rip: I said earlier dragons are not to be trusted
[2024/12/22 15:34] Rip: We should go see Wyatt and get information?
[2024/12/22 15:34] Mecha: I don't think that is the case. Now mind you this is just a theory, and considering the crap we've been through it might be paranoia, but what if the dragons are the ones being played?
[2024/12/22 15:35] Mecha: remove the allies leave Sonja and Emberclaw to fight while wizard and whoever sneak in and grab the dreamstone for themselves
[2024/12/22 15:35] Rip: It is possible that they want allteh other dragons to think its being caused by Sonja
[2024/12/22 15:36] Mecha: If that was the case sonja would not have gotten them on her side
[2024/12/22 15:36] Jassie: hence the conspiracy part possibly
[2024/12/22 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, what's the plan?
[2024/12/22 15:37] Rip: (Take the note to Sonja or go after Wyatt?)
[2024/12/22 15:37] Jassie: should we pay wyatt a visit thhen?
[2024/12/22 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sonja is at least two days away; Wyatt nearer two minutes away.
[2024/12/22 15:38] Mecha: I leave it to majority vote on this one
[2024/12/22 15:38] Jassie: u could break his nose too giggles
[2024/12/22 15:38] Rip: Lets go see Wyatt
[2024/12/22 15:38] Sapphire: We have an in with Wyatts guards to let us actually talk?
[2024/12/22 15:39] Jassie: we have that royal seal list
[2024/12/22 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, wagon up and get on to Wyatt?
[2024/12/22 15:39] Rip: yes
[2024/12/22 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Who's not said much for a bit.. Kylie!
[2024/12/22 15:40] Sapphire: alright
[2024/12/22 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: did we lose Kylie? Rip.... roll the d10
[2024/12/22 15:41] D10: Rip rolls 5
[2024/12/22 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oh my... you rolled -that- one...
[2024/12/22 15:41] Kylie: no
[2024/12/22 15:41] Rip: umm....maybe...?
[2024/12/22 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Well, you're on the way to Wyatts' tower, and are just passing through Fast Luck Alley.... where a commoner is causing commotion in the streets. Traffic has been brought to a standstill as a crowd gathers to hear the crazed man speak nonsensical babble. The Guards’ nerves are being tested, and they are close to using force to silence him.
[2024/12/22 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Commoner: "The scales of doom are upon us! The wretched beast Sonja y Ddraig Goch feasts on our fears and hoards our hope! She stole my thoughts!"
[2024/12/22 15:43] Sapphire: "What were the thoughts?"
[2024/12/22 15:43] Mecha: Keep my mouth shut and head down as i listen.
[2024/12/22 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: City Guard: "No sense trying to talk to this one, they're mad as a hatter!" Commoner: "She flies through the shadows, breathing despair and cackling like a madwoman!"
[2024/12/22 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Rip, any suggestions?
[2024/12/22 15:45] Rip: Maybe we should grab this guy and talk to him? Or we push through to Wyatts tower?
[2024/12/22 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: or Sapphire?
[2024/12/22 15:45] Sapphire: From the way he's talking the thoughts are already dribbled out his ear.
[2024/12/22 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, he's surrounded by a bunch of increasingly angry city guards
[2024/12/22 15:45] Rip: Then oush through towards the tower
[2024/12/22 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Commoner: struggling to shout over the guards: "Don't you see? She's coming for our children by the light of the moon!"
[2024/12/22 15:46] Mecha: we push through if we interfere we get the attention of the guards.
[2024/12/22 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay.... you push past, as the guards manhandle the guy aside. You hear one last shout: "We must scatter the ashes of our ancestors at dawn or the dragon will eat our souls!"
[2024/12/22 15:47] Jassie: seems like the people here are getting more restless by the min7te
[2024/12/22 15:47] Rip: Something he said will come back to bite us lol
[2024/12/22 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: idk, maybe the stress of modern life got to him
[2024/12/22 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Meanwhile, you arrive at the tower: The tower is 40' across, in a 10' wide road that circles the tower. The main entrance is guarded by four city guards in chain mail, holding spears
[2024/12/22 15:48] Kylie: or he heard the dragons lame jokes
[2024/12/22 15:48] Rip: Al of this will be available on the website so I don't need to make notes?
[2024/12/22 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Every log goes on the site.
[2024/12/22 15:48] Jassie: mhm
[2024/12/22 15:49] Rip: Walk around the tower looking for alternate access
[2024/12/22 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, Rip
[2024/12/22 15:49] D20: Rip rolls 11
[2024/12/22 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: was going to say roll under 12 :)
[2024/12/22 15:49] Sapphire: Emily ponders over that 'scattered ashes' comment, wondering if there's some sort of ward that would be useful in.
[2024/12/22 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: You notice what looks like a pair of small wooden doors, locked by a rusty lock. It appears to be a coal chute.
[2024/12/22 15:50] Rip: victory!
[2024/12/22 15:50] Rip: We need to break the lock with out alerting the guards, any suggestions?
[2024/12/22 15:51] Sapphire: Emily is a wizard, not a rogue
[2024/12/22 15:51] Kylie: smash lock with lucky axe
[2024/12/22 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, Kylie
[2024/12/22 15:51] Jassie: hahaha
[2024/12/22 15:51] Rip: that would be rather loud
[2024/12/22 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll under 14
[2024/12/22 15:51] D20: Kylie rolls 12
[2024/12/22 15:52] Sapphire: the luck holds
[2024/12/22 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: A brief CLANG and the lock shatters.
[2024/12/22 15:52] Sapphire: unlike the lock
[2024/12/22 15:52] Jassie: shes been waiting for this the whole time
[2024/12/22 15:52] Rip: lol, now will all of us fit through, she said small
[2024/12/22 15:52] Kylie: I should have been a locksmith with how i get into doors
[2024/12/22 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: you want a door open? Kylie is your girl. Just don't expect the door to close, or exist, after
[2024/12/22 15:53] Jassie: except i think most of them want theior door to work after
[2024/12/22 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Looking into the hole... it's a coal chute alright.
[2024/12/22 15:54] Rip: Time to go in?
[2024/12/22 15:54] Mecha: Yes, let's get going
[2024/12/22 15:55] Jassie: yup
[2024/12/22 15:55] Jassie: quietly!
[2024/12/22 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: You can get in one by one, although you wind up rather blacker.
[2024/12/22 15:55] Sapphire: how steep?
[2024/12/22 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's a coal chute, so, straight down
[2024/12/22 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Basement: 30' diameter cellar, contains many crates of sundry/mundane supplies, a sack of walnuts, a pile of coal and...
[2024/12/22 15:56] Rip: looks at the and?
[2024/12/22 15:56] Sapphire: oh, that puts us to the basement, I'd been wodnering
[2024/12/22 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thought you'd never ask. "From the dimly lit shadows of the damp cellar, a hulking figure looms - its beady eyes glinting with hunger and fury. With a guttural growl, it lunges forward, combining the ferocity of a bear and the piercing talons of an owl, ready to pounce on the unsuspecting adventurers."
[2024/12/22 15:56] Sapphire: stairs? ladders?
[2024/12/22 15:56] Sapphire: oh
[2024/12/22 15:56] Sapphire: one of these
[2024/12/22 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Everyone roll d20!

[2024/12/22 15:59] D20: Kylie rolls 15
[2024/12/22 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: finally getting good rolls... only took a year :)
[2024/12/22 15:59] D20: Sapphire rolls 1

[2024/12/22 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Rip, you go first! What do you do?

[2024/12/22 16:00] Rip: attack the owlbear
[2024/12/22 16:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20
[2024/12/22 16:00] D20: Rip rolls 18

[2024/12/22 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: hand axe, d6
[2024/12/22 16:01] D6: Rip rolls 2
[2024/12/22 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a start!
[2024/12/22 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie, you're next
[2024/12/22 16:01] Rip: At least I didn't throw my weapon again.
[2024/12/22 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: there is that
[2024/12/22 16:02] Jassie: hehe
[2024/12/22 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie?
[2024/12/22 16:04] Jassie: uh oh
[2024/12/22 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie?
[2024/12/22 16:04] Jassie: yea?
[2024/12/22 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: what are you doing, wally? :P
[2024/12/22 16:05] Jassie: whispers: i go shield up and smash it in the face with warhammer since everyone is going forth
[2024/12/22 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20

[2024/12/22 16:05] D20: Jassie rolls 2
[2024/12/22 16:05] Jassie: i guess not
[2024/12/22 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh well.
[2024/12/22 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2024/12/22 16:05] Jassie: lolol
[2024/12/22 16:06] Rip: It was a valiant attempt.
[2024/12/22 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: was it?
[2024/12/22 16:06] Mecha: Gonna draw the warhammer and take a swing
[2024/12/22 16:06] D20: Mecha rolls 19
[2024/12/22 16:07] Jassie: yay
[2024/12/22 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: sure you won't use your sword? d6, if not
[2024/12/22 16:07] Mecha: okay I can do the sword instead
[2024/12/22 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: d8 then
[2024/12/22 16:07] D8: Mecha rolls 3
[2024/12/22 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: 8 damage. The creature howls in pain.
[2024/12/22 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: It attacks Rip, who hit it first.
[2024/12/22 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: claw, claw...
[2024/12/22 16:08] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[2024/12/22 16:08] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2024/12/22 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, that hurt the air
[2024/12/22 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: and bite
[2024/12/22 16:08] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 19
[2024/12/22 16:08] Rip: 3 attacks? ouch

[2024/12/22 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me winces
[2024/12/22 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Rip is injured!
[2024/12/22 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2024/12/22 16:09] Sapphire: we had the chance to do a full rest before this session, ye?
[2024/12/22 16:10] Sapphire: I think this owlbear is nasty enough that tying it down with a web spell to it's face is warrented.
[2024/12/22 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay.... you cast the spell....
[2024/12/22 16:10] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 2
[2024/12/22 16:11] Sapphire: "And that's how an Imperial Warmage fights."
[2024/12/22 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: the dice gods smile on you, the creature howls in fury as it is entangled in sticky strands. It doesn't look like it'll hold -very- long...
[2024/12/22 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...and then the door to upstairs creaks open. "Bertie! What's all this noise, what's going... what! Intruders!!"
[2024/12/22 16:12] Jassie: long enough hopefully
[2024/12/22 16:12] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[2024/12/22 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Rip, what do you plan doing now?
[2024/12/22 16:13] Rip: attack if I can
[2024/12/22 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: how? He's at the top of stairs, and some distance away, about... 30'
[2024/12/22 16:13] Rip: the owlbear I mean
[2024/12/22 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, plus four to hit
[2024/12/22 16:13] D20: Rip rolls 13
[2024/12/22 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: d6 for damage
[2024/12/22 16:14] D6: Rip rolls 3
[2024/12/22 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: nicely done... Kylie?
[2024/12/22 16:14] Sapphire: Apparently the owlbears name is Bertie
[2024/12/22 16:15] Kylie: hmmm
[2024/12/22 16:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie, in the meanwhile?
[2024/12/22 16:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oh! Wait, Kylie?
[2024/12/22 16:16] Kylie: ill attavk it with my axe
[2024/12/22 16:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, plus four
[2024/12/22 16:16] D20: Kylie rolls 16
[2024/12/22 16:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're getting the hang of it
[2024/12/22 16:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: d6 for axe
[2024/12/22 16:17] D6: Kylie rolls 6
[2024/12/22 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: 8 damage... Kylie has been learning well :)
[2024/12/22 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now Jassie?
[2024/12/22 16:18] Jassie: Bless the party, since i wasnt hitting
[2024/12/22 16:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay. +1 buff to attack rolls, -1 to party AC
[2024/12/22 16:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2024/12/22 16:19] Mecha: Gonna take another swing with the sword
[2024/12/22 16:19] D20: Mecha rolls 8
[2024/12/22 16:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: d20, plus four
[2024/12/22 16:20] Mecha: *8+3+2+1=14*
[2024/12/22 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: hits AC 3, which is more than enough
[2024/12/22 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d8
[2024/12/22 16:20] D8: Mecha rolls 4
[2024/12/22 16:20] Sapphire: "Sorry about the fighting, we're hear to talk!" She shouts, trying to move to one side of the battle and get out of the way of the fighting.
[2024/12/22 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: The creature dies in a fit of agony.
[2024/12/22 16:21] Sapphire: *wince*
[2024/12/22 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt shouts in anger, and casts a spell at Mecha! Roll 20 to make a saving throw vs spells, +1 bonus
[2024/12/22 16:22] D20: Mecha rolls 5
[2024/12/22 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Must roll over 13....
[2024/12/22 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: uh oh.
[2024/12/22 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll d6
[2024/12/22 16:22] D6: Mecha rolls 3
[2024/12/22 16:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh dear.
[2024/12/22 16:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Again with the d6
[2024/12/22 16:23] D6: Mecha rolls 5
[2024/12/22 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: A feeling of weakness and ill health rolls through you. Your CON score is reduced to 3, which means.... you also lose about half your health. Tough break.
[2024/12/22 16:24] Jassie: woah what the
[2024/12/22 16:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: And Sapphire: shouts that thing. I'm not sure Wyatt is particularly interested in listening, though, you killed Bertie, after all.
[2024/12/22 16:25] Sapphire: oh, i want his spellbook
[2024/12/22 16:25] Sapphire: yeah, i shouted that when it looked like we could hold fire still
[2024/12/22 16:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: You want to take an action?
[2024/12/22 16:26] Sapphire: yeah, since we're committed.... magic missile the other wizard
[2024/12/22 16:26] Sapphire: (jeeze we're a pile of screwups )
[2024/12/22 16:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: d6 as I recall it
[2024/12/22 16:27] Sapphire: one or 3?
[2024/12/22 16:27] Rip: yes but we are fun to watch
[2024/12/22 16:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh my... I forgot, you're level five now

[2024/12/22 16:29] Mecha: I'm just going to fall on my ass

[2024/12/22 16:33] Rip: Our healer just left
[2024/12/22 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, Jassie got eaten by a grue, but, I'm sure as a healer her dying words were a healing cantrip.
[2024/12/22 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's only a little more - we'll continue and everyone keep an eye on the log when it's on the site
[2024/12/22 16:34] Rip: I bandage myself as best I can but need to go as well ,will catch up alter.

[2024/12/22 16:34] Rip: I will be here, Merry Christmas everyone
[2024/12/22 16:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, Wyatt has surrendered the fight, and looks seriously wounded
[2024/12/22 16:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: who's going to say what?
[2024/12/22 16:35] Mecha: Fix me
[2024/12/22 16:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt scowls and waves a hand, lifting the magic. You feel healthier.
[2024/12/22 16:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2024/12/22 16:37] Sapphire: "Right. So we should talk. we need to know your work on the list."
[2024/12/22 16:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt sighs. "That was a terrible business. I had to do it - that bastard Emberclaw has me good."
[2024/12/22 16:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kylie?
[2024/12/22 16:39] Kylie: im not sure im lost
[2024/12/22 16:39] Mecha: Has you how?
[2024/12/22 16:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt: "That bastard has my wife and kids, I don't do as he says, they get eaten! Alive!"
[2024/12/22 16:41] Sapphire: "Wheres he keeping them?
[2024/12/22 16:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt rolls his eyes. "If I knew -that-, I could rescue them, couldn't I?"
[2024/12/22 16:45] Mecha: So, you and them lived here and Emberclaw came and took them or had his men come and take them?
[2024/12/22 16:46] Kylie: (i need to go)
[2024/12/22 16:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Laters, Kylie, thanks for coming, see you here in three weeks!)
[2024/12/22 16:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt (rolling his eyes again): "Yes, I lived with my wife and kids, then they vanished, then came the demand from Emberclaw to make this thing he wanted, or he'd eat my family... then the demand for dead dragons, or he's eat my family.... what was I supposed to do?"
[2024/12/22 16:48] Sapphire: "You know he's going to just keep making more and more demands, right?"
[2024/12/22 16:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt: "Yeah, and sooner or later some of the mercenaries we hired - like you - will finally blunder through and stop him. Like we summoned you to do."
[2024/12/22 16:50] Mecha: You summoned us to fight Sonja. If you had said emberclaw in the beginning this would have been over and done with
[2024/12/22 16:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Any my family would've been eaten. Did you miss that part?"
[2024/12/22 16:52] Mecha: And how would he have known. Somehow I doubt he would ask."So send anyone to kill me lately?"
[2024/12/22 16:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt tries not to facepalm. "Emberclaw... has... the... Dreamstone... it can alter reality... I'm sure scrying what I'm doing is childs' play, even without mere spies."
[2024/12/22 16:55] Mecha: The you're already in it for talking to us. So here's the deal. IF he isn't scrying this then mums the word. If he is, well you know. So we're gonna go now, and I really REALLY don't want to play this card but if you send anyone after us, the next time I smack Emberclaw I'll be sure to tell him you helped. Thyen I'll save your family an dleave you to him."
[2024/12/22 16:56] Mecha: *Even angry me isn't that cruel*
[2024/12/22 16:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt: "For fucks sake. Just kill that damn dragon. And watch out for that thing he had me make, he kept going on how it was a power beyond even the Dreamstone."
[2024/12/22 16:57] Mecha: ... What thing?
[2024/12/22 16:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt: "I... am not sure.... it's like a... it's like the frame of a box made with obsidian rods, and chains of gold from the corners to suspend a huge ruby, it's the size of... well, it's big, head-sized... it's worth a fortune, but that's not even the start of it. It's got a lot of high level magicks cast on it, warding and necromancy spells."
[2024/12/22 17:00] Sapphire: "Necromancy? Odd choice..."
[2024/12/22 17:00] Mecha: /me sighs and shakes her head."One more thing to add to the list." All right, we're going. Not a word to Emberclaw and we will do the rest."
[2024/12/22 17:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt: "Nothing that damn dragon does makes sense. Hates Sonja y Ddraig Goch like nothing I've seen before.... and doesn't want her killed."
[2024/12/22 17:03] Sapphire: "Like a spurned lover," Emily theorizes
[2024/12/22 17:03] Mecha: At this point I would not be surprised
[2024/12/22 17:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Wyatt: "Now please go! I've taken a big enough risk just to tell you this much. I really don't know any more. Kill Emberclaw, get the Dreamstone, and everything can be put back to rights again."
[2024/12/22 17:05] Mecha: Let's, let's just go
[2024/12/22 17:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: And down come the curtains on the penultimate chapter... next comes the big finale :)
[2024/12/22 17:07] Sapphire: onwards!
[2024/12/22 17:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: indeed!
[2024/12/22 17:07] Sapphire: to more shenanigans and violence
[2024/12/22 17:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, feedback
[2024/12/22 17:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: You have no idea how right you are, Sapphire
[2024/12/22 17:08] Mecha: It was fun. Did not expect the tavern scene to play out as it did but will count it as a win
[2024/12/22 17:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: heh, you nearly got a date
[2024/12/22 17:10] Mecha: Yeah saw that coming. Hence the if you had a pair of tits
