[2026/06/02 14:11] Sapphire: /me checks logs
[2026/06/02 14:11] Sapphire: hmmmm, they stop at April
[2026/06/02 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...
[2026/06/02 14:12] Sapphire: i have some memory of where we left off
[2026/06/02 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: huh... I know I updated them... because that's when I found out the server died
[2026/06/02 14:12] Sapphire: the reload might have gone to older state
[2026/06/02 14:13] Mecha: Yes we had just finished planning there was discussion of setting fire to a bunch of pigs under the castle. Sarah went to take a bath and at the end Syra went for one as well.
[2026/06/02 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: the fuck
[2026/06/02 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, guess I was updating something else... coulda sorn it was that one, though...
[2026/06/02 14:14] Sapphire: discussing your plans in the shared, roman style baths?
[2026/06/02 14:15] Mecha: Sounds good
[2026/06/02 14:16] Sapphire: As ladies you're more or less left to your own devices in there, aside from a couple maids who are in and out. One elderly and moving carefully, the other apparently early teenager or so.
[2026/06/02 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Syra: takes a parchment, drops in dried erbs, or, as we say in proper English speaking countries like France, herbs, rolls it up, sticks it in her mouth and lights the other end
[2026/06/02 14:17] Sapphire: any particular erb you're smoking?
[2026/06/02 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: A cunning mix of tea leaves and nutmeg
[2026/06/02 14:20] Sapphire: sounds aromatic and stimulating
[2026/06/02 14:20] Sapphire: Sarah?
[2026/06/02 14:21] Mecha: Sarah is soaking before looking weirdly at the stoner in the bath."So Syra. How did you come up with the pigs idea? I have to admit, maybe i am a bit soft but I don't want to hear pigs being roasted alive."
[2026/06/02 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me puffs on her cigarette. "You know, I read too, bookface. There was this king or something over in Angleterra who had to take down a castle, bought forty pigs and down it came."
[2026/06/02 14:26] Sapphire: The water ripples quietly, a few candles providing light while you discuss.
[2026/06/02 14:26] Mecha: "I never said you didn't read flame brain, but I was curious about it. There is one small drawback to it though. If they set wards against terram I am not sure I can help us tunnel under if there are none readily available.
[2026/06/02 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Maybe you can read 'em to deff.
[2026/06/02 14:28] Mecha: Sarah pauses and looks at you... then sticks her tongue out at you. "I'm not downplaying the idea, I just want to be ready for whatever might trip the idea up."
[2026/06/02 14:28] Sapphire: You would both know that breaking an enemy ward would be a Perdo Vim effect, but you'd need to bring more magical power of that type than the ward is to crack it.
[2026/06/02 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Only one way to find out.
[2026/06/02 14:32] Mecha: Sarah sighs and ponders. "Okay, then it would make sense that since this is your plan. You secure the pigs, I can check to see how deep a ward goes. I will also be working on a back up plan in case something happens.
[2026/06/02 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: you could magic up your floating platform and dump books on them
[2026/06/02 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: or rocks, rocks might be better
[2026/06/02 14:34] Mecha: Sarah ponders
[2026/06/02 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Syrah puffs on her makeshift roll-up
[2026/06/02 14:36] Mecha: Sarah ponders." What if you are the wild card here Syra? Or at least more so than usual."
[2026/06/02 14:36] Sapphire: A couple of soft white cotton robes are provided for when you wish to finish your bath and dry off, the maids keeping mostly out of sight in deference to the oddities of visiting wizards.
[2026/06/02 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me gives Sarah a look. "What else do you think I am, the one that does things as expected?"
[2026/06/02 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me waves the maid off. She's still soaking.
[2026/06/02 14:38] Sapphire: You are swiftly left in peace.
[2026/06/02 14:39] Mecha: No I mean what if they are expecting me but are not prepared for you so while I send a terram barrage at them to distract you come in from behind and cook them."
[2026/06/02 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me stares at Sarah
[2026/06/02 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....what a WONDERFUL idea...
[2026/06/02 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: you can break rocks and fling soil about, right?
[2026/06/02 14:40] Mecha: Sarah nods, and while they are distracted you can come in
[2026/06/02 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm thinking while you're showering them with little fragments, I heat them up.
[2026/06/02 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Fill their castle up with a cloud of roastingly hot dirt/sand.
[2026/06/02 14:42] Mecha: That sounds good
[2026/06/02 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: not for them
[2026/06/02 14:45] Sapphire: it's a mountain, so you might also work with gravel
[2026/06/02 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: being showered with red hot sand will burn their skin, eyes, lungs
[2026/06/02 14:45] Mecha: "true."
[2026/06/02 14:46] Sapphire: Your herb blunt is approching the last third of it's length
[2026/06/02 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: so soon? damnit. Why's the best flames always burn out so young.
[2026/06/02 14:47] Mecha: we will also need to add in some heavy heated rocks because if I remember correctly they will be able to cool thin..." sarah stops mid sentence." How hot can you make sand?"
[2026/06/02 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Where's Sonja y Ddraig Fach?
[2026/06/02 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Very. Sand melts at over fifteen hundred freedom units to become glass.
[2026/06/02 14:49] Sapphire: Sitting on top of the dry robes, enjoying the warmth, but also giving impressions of hunger and bordom. Perhaps they might go hunt down some mice.
[2026/06/02 14:49] Mecha: If you can make sand hot enough, i think it turns to glass so if they cool sand that is hot enough to become glass they have a whole host of problems
[2026/06/02 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Time for a mouse hunt. You got this.
[2026/06/02 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me rises and wanders over to her pet firebird. "Wanna go hunt mousey mousey... wait, can you hunt mice?"
[2026/06/02 14:51] Sapphire: The bird caws, eagar and up to the challenge, even if their diet is more prone to bugs. Its really a question of what they can catch!
[2026/06/02 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: "That's the spirit, Sonja y Ddraig Goch Fach! We'll have you breathing the breath of a mighty dragon yet! Let's find some mice!"
[2026/06/02 14:53] Sapphire: Another excited hawk screech, and they take off to fly through the hallways excitedly.
[2026/06/02 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me gives chase. "Wait for Mommy!"
[2026/06/02 14:55] Mecha: Sara watches you go and chuckles as she mutters softly."oh no syra don't forget your clothes or a towel..." as she chuckles and sinks into the water
[2026/06/02 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me didn't forget, she just dunt care
[2026/06/02 14:56] Sapphire: evens or odds, Syra?
[2026/06/02 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: can I roll for it?
[2026/06/02 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: high it's evens, low it's odds
[2026/06/02 14:57] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 18
[2026/06/02 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Evens.
[2026/06/02 14:58] Mecha: *brb*
[2026/06/02 14:59] Sapphire: She has the hallways clear, scattering water and soon chased by the younger alarmed maid, hauling a towel with her, while the menfolk are not immediately exposed to your scandelous exercise regimen
[2026/06/02 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: but, we caught a rodent?
[2026/06/02 15:00] Sapphire: oh
[2026/06/02 15:00] Sapphire: roll a 1d10+ Hunt + Quick from the hawks sheet
[2026/06/02 15:01] D10: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 9
[2026/06/02 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: 12
[2026/06/02 15:03] Sapphire: Firehawk dives behind a couch in the sitting room, coming back up with a bulky mouse. Come to think, you haven't seen a cat around yet.
[2026/06/02 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: A monopoly!
[2026/06/02 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: That's my girl, you roast that rat
[2026/06/02 15:05] Sapphire: It's around this time that James wanders in. "Hello? I heard screaming...." before the maid catches up to Syra, practically tackling her to wrap the mage in a towel.
[2026/06/02 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Syra: "Screaming, you say? Are the maids singing those newfangled pop songs?"
[2026/06/02 15:07] Sapphire: He's likely referring to Sonja's hawk screeching as she hunts
[2026/06/02 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Syra: "Ah, screeching, different. She's just boisterous."
[2026/06/02 15:09] Sapphire: "Miss!" The maid is trying to make sure you have a towel on proper, very cross at needing to assist
[2026/06/02 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me gives the maid an icy glare, as wizard talk is interrupted by the plebians - and they dare show temper, too.
[2026/06/02 15:11] Sapphire: She huffs, leaving you in charge of the towel and back off.
[2026/06/02 15:11] Mecha: Sarah walks in, wearing a dressing gown. seeing this she gives Syra the sound of something she has never head. Sarah starts laughing at the whole thing
[2026/06/02 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me huffs and collects her firebird and her catch. "Come, let us eat in peace."
[2026/06/02 15:15] Mecha: Sarahs laughing stops as she looks at Syra. Did Sonja catch something?"
[2026/06/02 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Syra smiles with maternal pride as she holds up a mouse, by their tail, right in front of Sarah. "Sure did. Big fat mouse!"
[2026/06/02 15:16] Sapphire: A merry chirp sounds from the hawk as well
[2026/06/02 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me nods in agreement with Sonja y Ddraig Goch Fachs' opinion
[2026/06/02 15:18] Mecha: Well you two enjoy that mouse. before looking at Sonja."Be ready to share. Syra looks kinda hungry too."
[2026/06/02 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Pfft, shouldn't your nose be in a book, or something
[2026/06/02 15:20] Mecha: "It will be soon enough."
[2026/06/02 15:20] Sapphire: "um, congratulations?" James says, quite unsure how to take all this in stride.
[2026/06/02 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Syra: "It's her first kill."
[2026/06/02 15:21] Sapphire: A mild huff of disagreement from the bird, but not a strident one.
[2026/06/02 15:21] Sapphire: "Oh, are they your familiar?" He asks, somewhat on more familiar ground.
[2026/06/02 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Syra: "That isn't a bug."
[2026/06/02 15:21] Mecha: it's a feature
[2026/06/02 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Syra: "She's familiar to me, yes, had her a while."
[2026/06/02 15:24] Sapphire: "Very beautiful," he compliments, eyes trying to keep mostly upwards during this whole conversation.
[2026/06/02 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Thank you. Sonja y Ddraig Goch Fach is very attractive too.
[2026/06/02 15:25] Mecha: Sarah rolls her eyes as she begins mapping out a plan that does involve fire and heat but not pigs
[2026/06/02 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now if you'll excuse me, we got some cooking to do
[2026/06/02 15:28] Sapphire: "Cooking. The pig fat? or rations?"
[2026/06/02 15:28] Mecha: I think she means the mouse they caught
[2026/06/02 15:28] Sapphire: He did smile and nods to her earlier comment as well. The Hawk kindles the mouse after catching it again.
[2026/06/02 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Syra: "The mouse... Sonja y Ddraig Goch Fach ain't eating it -raw-..."
[2026/06/02 15:30] Sapphire: "Ah!" he nods, eyeing the increasingly smoky looking mouse. "Are you going to want a plate for that, or?"
[2026/06/02 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Syra: "Naa, we good. Don't want to go unnatural."
[2026/06/02 15:31] Mecha: I'd say eat it fast that thing looks like it's being over cooked.
[2026/06/02 15:34] Sapphire: Alright... with the time we have left... any tasks you want to wrap up here or having fun scandalizing senacas household?
[2026/06/02 15:34] Mecha: *Not making demands but almost feels like a good place to call it
[2026/06/02 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: yus
[2026/06/02 15:36] Sapphire: and then next time we can scene cut to outside and doing your recon?
[2026/06/02 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: yus
[2026/06/02 15:36] Mecha: Yep, sounds good
[2026/06/02 15:37] Mecha: As Sarah just hit on a possible stroke of brilliance or at the very leaste a stroke.
[2026/06/02 15:38] Sapphire: hehehe
