[2025/02/23 14:07] Mecha: All right So when we last left our intrepid heroes they were just standing up in the middle of a large recently made crater.
[2025/02/23 14:08] Sapphire: Yes, Ana'Te'Nilin stands up, laughing at having survived the crash that just tried to kill them
[2025/02/23 14:08] Mecha: with that out of the way. No big greetings thing that is Mistresses intro welcome to game what is everyone doing?
[2025/02/23 14:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dusting off my hands and looking at everyone with a mixture of speculation and suspicion
[2025/02/23 14:09] Sapphire: What *else* do we see around?
[2025/02/23 14:09] Jassie: puts out the singeing on the beard
[2025/02/23 14:11] Andreas already checked his pockest, nothing is missing. Looking around and moving out of the crater to see more. What I can see around?
[2025/02/23 14:11] Mecha: Sapphire roll d20 for perception roll under yout int.
[2025/02/23 14:12] Sapphire: Also, do we all already know each other?
[2025/02/23 14:12] Jassie: well whatever that was didnt kill me too much, takes out the hip flask take a swig.
[2025/02/23 14:12] Mecha: Andreas also roll perception

[2025/02/23 14:13] D20: Andreas rolls 2
[2025/02/23 14:13] Mecha: I was under the impression after last week that you all did. That is why I said what you were in the intro
[2025/02/23 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl did say... *cough*
[2025/02/23 14:14] Mecha: Sapphire you see dirt and knocked over trees and that you are in this crater
[2025/02/23 14:14] Mecha: Andreas you see the same thing but something seems to glint in the sunlight
[2025/02/23 14:14] Sapphire: She'll brush herself off and start trying to climb up one of the fallen trees to get a better look around, her shiny armor also glinting in the sunlight
[2025/02/23 14:15] Mecha: It is a small glint about 15 feet away
[2025/02/23 14:15] Andreas "What are we doing here, does anybody remember anything prior this crater? And who are you guys anyway?"
[2025/02/23 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl brushes the dust off her palms and straightens her mussed up hair. "Second Leiutenant Kaelin, Warwick City Watch. And you are...?"
[2025/02/23 14:16] Sapphire: "I remember a big fight! It was *amazing* too, you should have seen me! Bouncing around, swish, slash, *stab!*" She gestures with her hand, actual blades safely sheathed
[2025/02/23 14:17] Mecha: Everybody roll Int
[2025/02/23 14:17] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 9
[2025/02/23 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Success
[2025/02/23 14:18] Andreas "Nice to meet you Leiutenant Kaelin, I'm Andreas ... I'm nobody from the city of Akakor"
[2025/02/23 14:18] D20: Jassie rolls 3
[2025/02/23 14:18] Jassie: (lol)
[2025/02/23 14:18] D20: Sapphire rolls 8

[2025/02/23 14:19] Jassie: I was drinking at the pub last, that I definitely remember
[2025/02/23 14:19] D20: Quinn rolls 18
[2025/02/23 14:20] Mecha: Those of you who succeeded you remember travelling and then a sudden flash of light and BAM climbing out here completely covered in dirt
[2025/02/23 14:20] Andreas "cheers on that Jassie. So at least I'm not the only one with hangover."
[2025/02/23 14:20] Mecha: Quinn you don't even remember the flash of light
[2025/02/23 14:20] Jassie: "and I'm Jassa Broadhammer" I say with a smile under the beard while stroking it. "It seems you had an amazing fight there missie!!" looks at Ana
[2025/02/23 14:21] Sapphire: She spins on one heel and gives a playful salute to Jassa, smiling, before resuming her climbing to see more of where they are.
[2025/02/23 14:22] Jassie: looks at Andreas, "Well never said nothin bout no hangover? unless you're one of those that can't hold is liquor.." chuckles
[2025/02/23 14:23] Mecha: Okay now everyone except Andreas and Sapphire roll perception
[2025/02/23 14:23] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 12
[2025/02/23 14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Success, if it's WIS
[2025/02/23 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Quinn: the purple cube again
[2025/02/23 14:24] D20: Quinn rolls 18
[2025/02/23 14:24] Mecha: Using int.
[2025/02/23 14:24] D20: Jassie rolls 20
[2025/02/23 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: for perception?
[2025/02/23 14:24] Andreas "Well, you feel bit noble over here. I was playing cards, so liquor is part of it Jasse. And my full name is Andreas Darth, I'm a player."
[2025/02/23 14:24] Jassie: ooo natty20
[2025/02/23 14:24] Mecha: yes
[2025/02/23 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, fail
[2025/02/23 14:24] D20: Andreas rolls 18
[2025/02/23 14:25] Sapphire: attacks want to roll high, attribute checks want to roll low (it' helps deal with unfair dice)
[2025/02/23 14:25] Jassie: (i know hence I said ooo)
[2025/02/23 14:25] Jassie: hehe
[2025/02/23 14:25] Jassie: it comes when it isnt needed for me
[2025/02/23 14:26] Jassie: its always opposite
[2025/02/23 14:26] Andreas nods
[2025/02/23 14:26] Mecha: okay you all see the same thing Sapphire did this is a crater in the ground. Not super deep. About knee deep to a human. a few trees around the crater are laying down and not getting up.
[2025/02/23 14:27] Jassie: noone coming up to look at the crater etc?
[2025/02/23 14:27] Sapphire: Knee deep to a human is chest deep to Ana. And she's trying to climb a tree to see over the edge of the crater! I'm not sure why it's taking so long to do that
[2025/02/23 14:27] Mecha: There is no one else around, yet
[2025/02/23 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: you take very small steps
[2025/02/23 14:28] Sapphire: any terrain?
[2025/02/23 14:28] Mecha: the trees are outside the crater Sapphire you're in it and they are not a wall there are spaces where you don't have to climb over
[2025/02/23 14:29] Andreas "Anybody have a guess which way is to town or city?"
[2025/02/23 14:29] Jassie: well begin walking outta the crater "so where are you all from then??"
[2025/02/23 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl follows Andreas. "Fucked if I know."
[2025/02/23 14:30] Sapphire: hmmmm.... in that case she's still trying to see further than the immediate area?
[2025/02/23 14:30] Jassie: or more like what do you all do?
[2025/02/23 14:31] Mecha: After a bit of work you get on top of one of the fallen trees and look around. There are birds int he sky no animals on the ground The crater from what you can see is about the length of three carts with horses across.
[2025/02/23 14:31] Andreas "As I said, I'm from the city of Akakor. It's in the easter realm. But now, I have no clue where am I".
[2025/02/23 14:31] Jassie: I'
[2025/02/23 14:32] Mecha: There is a road that passes through. Though now there is a rather big detour created
[2025/02/23 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Which way leads to the sun?
[2025/02/23 14:32] Jassie: "I'm from the famous Bugman Tavern, that's my job" making alcohol or at least helping with the making of it
[2025/02/23 14:33] Jassie: "she seems to know where to go though?" points at Sonja
[2025/02/23 14:33] Sapphire: Are we in a forest or something then?
[2025/02/23 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: That was a question for the DM
[2025/02/23 14:34] Mecha: You look to the right and see the sun as it is rising so the road to the sun is the left direction
[2025/02/23 14:34] Mecha: You are in a forest, well now a clearing in the middle of a forest
[2025/02/23 14:34] Andreas "quiet please I may hear something"
[2025/02/23 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Rising sun to left? I'd suggest we go right."
[2025/02/23 14:35] Sapphire: "Hmmm?" She spins around. "Now the sun is on my right!"
[2025/02/23 14:36] Jassie: "hmm so we're goin... west for some reason?"
[2025/02/23 14:36] Mecha: Andreas definitely hears something as do the rest of you." Hmmm, you managed to survive that, how curious."
[2025/02/23 14:37] Jassie: where'd it come from?
[2025/02/23 14:37] Mecha: it came from above you all
[2025/02/23 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: "West is as good a direction as any."
[2025/02/23 14:38] Jassie: well, someone either floating or somethin." mumbles before looking up
[2025/02/23 14:38] Mecha: What about the rest of you?
[2025/02/23 14:38] Andreas: "As far as I remember I didn't drink as much to hear voices out of nowhere. Did you all hear that?"
[2025/02/23 14:39] Jassie: uses thumb to point upwards.
[2025/02/23 14:40] Sapphire: "Oh yeah." she hops down and walks beside Jassie. "I'm from the Emerald Castle! Sworn to wander the land and right wrongs!"
[2025/02/23 14:41] Andreas: is slowly rising his eyes and up to look at the sky. "What am I looking at?"
[2025/02/23 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Clouds, I think."
[2025/02/23 14:41] Mecha: Those of you who look up see a floating head looking down at you. It is the size of a normal head but it has a bemused look on his face,
[2025/02/23 14:41] Andreas: "since when the clouds talk?" Looking all over the sky to spot anything
[2025/02/23 14:42] Jassie: "oh wow a disembodied head, " takes another swig of out the flask
[2025/02/23 14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm heading west. I assume everyone is going that way? And I'm looking at the roadside for any flowers.
[2025/02/23 14:43] Jassie: "also that's a mighty fine job then Missie." says to sapphire
[2025/02/23 14:43] Jassie: or Ana
[2025/02/23 14:43] Andreas: "this doesn't look like a cloud miss clever .... " looks at Sonja ... and than turns his head back to the sky looking at the head "Hey talking head, who are you and what are you doing here?"
[2025/02/23 14:44] Sapphire: Wait, you say it's a cloud the size of a normal head?
[2025/02/23 14:44] Mecha: okay, So Sonja is heading west looking at the flowers. Andreas, and Jassie are looking at the floating head, What about Quinn and Sapphire, what are your characters doing?
[2025/02/23 14:44] Jassie: "well, if I were im, I'd be looking for me body."
[2025/02/23 14:44] Sapphire: so it would be... tiny from our perspective?
[2025/02/23 14:44] Mecha: No I say it's a head the size of a normal head
[2025/02/23 14:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Are there any flowers? I need to pick some.
[2025/02/23 14:45] Sapphire: "Hello?" She peers up. "Are you looking for your old body?"
[2025/02/23 14:45] Mecha: Five feet from the crater are some flowers
[2025/02/23 14:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: I need four white, three yellow, one red and one blue
[2025/02/23 14:45] Jassie: (very specific)
[2025/02/23 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Yes.)
[2025/02/23 14:46] Mecha: SAdly they only have yellow and blue in this area
[2025/02/23 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hmm. Then I'll pick five yellow and five blue, and hopefully that'll be fine.
[2025/02/23 14:47] Mecha: Anyway the head is about ten feet above you looking at you all except for Sonja who seems busy."So, just watching all of you and I am curious. How are you still ... well alive?"
[2025/02/23 14:48] Jassie: .....Booze?
[2025/02/23 14:48] Sapphire: "I'm just that amazing," she answers back, hands on her hips and a grin on her lips.
[2025/02/23 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: I arrange the flowers so the five yellow are above the five blue. I hold them in both my hands, and look at the others. "Are you all coming?"
[2025/02/23 14:48] Jassie: "you go missie!" gives Ana the thumbs up
[2025/02/23 14:48] Andreas: "What's your name talking head and how do you know who we are? And I don't know about the rest, but I've been better than this."
[2025/02/23 14:49] Quinn: sits and ponders life
[2025/02/23 14:51] Mecha: Who I am is unimportant as you will not be around long enough to understand that." His eyes begin to glow and an angry look comes over his face as he looks at you. The light from his eyes grow bigger and bigger
[2025/02/23 14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: I wait, a few paces away, holding my flowers in both hands, watching the others with a stoic expression, waiting for them.
[2025/02/23 14:52] Sapphire: Ana grabs a javeline from her back, and then hurls it at the angry hovering face. "Hup!"
[2025/02/23 14:52] Andreas: "I know where is your body talking head"
[2025/02/23 14:52] Jassie: "well I'm heading off, follows along with Kaelin,"
[2025/02/23 14:53] Jassie: "oh are we actually going to try then?"
[2025/02/23 14:53] Mecha: As he is about to unleash a ray at you all. You hear something shouted in Elvish before what looks like a sock flies through the air and hits the head
[2025/02/23 14:54] Mecha: Roll to attack Sapphire
[2025/02/23 14:54] D20: Sapphire rolls 12
[2025/02/23 14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: the head got socked.
[2025/02/23 14:55] Jassie: (hehe)
[2025/02/23 14:56] Mecha: Sapphire that was a miss. The sock however hitand interrupts the heads attack. A sudden allergy attack sends the head flying away
[2025/02/23 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: those socks must be particularly ripe
[2025/02/23 14:57] Mecha: As the head flies away the sock lands and there appears to be something in the sock. granules of pepper fall out
[2025/02/23 14:57] Jassie: wow! amazing attack
[2025/02/23 14:57] Sapphire: "Thank you!" She shouts in the direction of the elvish voice
[2025/02/23 14:58] Mecha: Does anyone look in said direction?
[2025/02/23 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: of the sock, or the voice?
[2025/02/23 14:58] Mecha: the voice
[2025/02/23 14:59] Sapphire: Ana glances between there and the direction the head went
[2025/02/23 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'm watching the others. Holding my flowers in both hands before me.
[2025/02/23 14:59] Jassie: probably the voice as I said wow!
[2025/02/23 14:59] Andreas: "that was close, looks like time to disappear before we get into trouble" he thinks for himself and asks "West you said?".
[2025/02/23 15:00] Jassie: also can i put a hand out to possibly take a flower if Kaelin lets me.
[2025/02/23 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Aye, west, seems as good a direction as any."
[2025/02/23 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: I jerk the flowers away from Jassie and glare at her
[2025/02/23 15:01] Mecha: There you see a wizened but unusual old elvish man, standing next to a rather large half Orc."What were you doing with him?!" He asks sounding slightly annoyed
[2025/02/23 15:02] Sapphire: "What? the angry head? He just started screaming at us for no reason." She shrugs her shoulders, then wanders over to recover her spear
[2025/02/23 15:03] Mecha: As you go to recover your spear roll perception
[2025/02/23 15:03] Andreas: looks at the Orc. "We've been asking him direction to the nearest village or town but the talking head was rude and got angry. Do you know him?"
[2025/02/23 15:04] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2025/02/23 15:05] Jassie: raises hand up as Kaelin doesnt approve, looks at the two individuals," also where exactly are we?"
[2025/02/23 15:06] Mecha: That was no ordinary talking head that was the spirit Shinigamo A cousin to a shinigami which is a death spirit. He must have been here looking for something and or someone. You are near our village of yawp. Please come and be our guest and we will explain everything
[2025/02/23 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Is it to the West?"
[2025/02/23 15:07] Mecha: Mistress, call it high or low?
[2025/02/23 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: eh
[2025/02/23 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: High.
[2025/02/23 15:08] D20: Mecha rolls 6
[2025/02/23 15:08] Mecha: No, it is to the east
[2025/02/23 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Then you can tell us what you want to tell us, and then, we'll head West."
[2025/02/23 15:08] Sapphire: Ana tilts her head. "Yawp! Never been there before. Sounds fun."
[2025/02/23 15:09] Quinn: let go west
[2025/02/23 15:09] Jassie: "what's up with you and the west?"
[2025/02/23 15:09] Jassie: something specific you need over there?
[2025/02/23 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Yes, that's the way I decided to go."
[2025/02/23 15:10] Andreas: "Is there any village or town to the west Mr. Orc and if so, how far is it?"
[2025/02/23 15:10] Sapphire: "She knows what she wants! But What I would enjoy is to be a guest for a while. I hope we can be nice with each other!"
[2025/02/23 15:11] Jassie: "aye I can do that. just wanna enjoy meself."
[2025/02/23 15:12] Mecha: There is the town of Wokuno to the west about a days travel
[2025/02/23 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Sooner we set off, the sooner we get to be guests."
[2025/02/23 15:13] Jassie: is that where you're from or you know someone there then?
[2025/02/23 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: "I told you, that's just where I decided to go, I'm sure these new friends of yours can explain what they want before we go."
[2025/02/23 15:14] Quinn: go west
[2025/02/23 15:14] Quinn: hums along
[2025/02/23 15:15] Andreas: "well I guess Yawp is closer and hmmm I'd really like to hear about those shinogumos. And I'm sorry for being rude Mr. Orc, my name is Andreas, what is your name?".
[2025/02/23 15:15] Sapphire: "Don't you want to spend the night in an actual bed? Maybe they'll have soft straw at the least."
[2025/02/23 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Nope. I got my flowers, I have what I need."
[2025/02/23 15:16] Mecha: The Orc looks surprised at being asked and in a quiet voice he says my name is Tand, and this is ... He is known as grandfather."
[2025/02/23 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Nice to meet you, Tand, you coming West?"
[2025/02/23 15:16] Mecha: *I now leave it to you who is going where?*
[2025/02/23 15:18] Jassie: "Ah yes Jassa is me name, a pleasure to meet you Tand and well.. grandfather."
[2025/02/23 15:18] Andreas: "Nice to meet you Tand. How far is your village you said?"
[2025/02/23 15:19] Mecha: We are a half days journey east, but it would appear your friends wish to go west.
[2025/02/23 15:20] Andreas: And what direction that talking head flew away DM?
[2025/02/23 15:21] Quinn: I like talking heads
[2025/02/23 15:21] Mecha: Kind of up and to the north east
[2025/02/23 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: they come but once in a lifetime.
[2025/02/23 15:22] Quinn: yes once in a lifetime.. but is is psycho killer
[2025/02/23 15:23] Mecha: *The head flew for about 30 feet in that direction before disappearing
[2025/02/23 15:23] Sapphire: So, are we splitting the party up in our first session or are we gonna go get a meal and a sleep in borrowed bales of hay?
[2025/02/23 15:23] Andreas: "Half day journey or multiple days long journey? And do we want to know more about the spirits of death? Today I'd prefer just a spirit, Jasse what direction are you going, I follow you and we both know why."
[2025/02/23 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'll follow the party if they go along with this. You'll need someone to rescue you.
[2025/02/23 15:26] Mecha: okay so.... east?
[2025/02/23 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl sighs and starts reciting a prayer over the flowers
[2025/02/23 15:27] Jassie: me?? i aint sure, u sure you wanna follow me?
[2025/02/23 15:27] Mecha: okay lemme try it this way. Hands up for east
[2025/02/23 15:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: So it would seems, but I'm going last.
[2025/02/23 15:28] Andreas: "I follow Jasse, coz booze is booze"
[2025/02/23 15:28] Jassie: bring Kaetlin in for a smoosh, "oh come on don't be too uptight there yea."
[2025/02/23 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: I shrug Jassa off with a glare and continue my chanted incantation
[2025/02/23 15:30] Sapphire: Ana follows the orc and elf to the village of Yarp. "What do you do in Yarp?"
[2025/02/23 15:31] Quinn: sing and be merry?
[2025/02/23 15:32] Jassie: well thats always a good sign for sure
[2025/02/23 15:32] Mecha: Yawp." The large one says."Sometimes we sing and be merry, some times we fish, but Grandfather runs the local inn and curio shop. I am his assistant." okay, after a half days walk you arrive in the village of Yawp. It is a small community aside a river,
[2025/02/23 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Are there any other flowers here to pick?
[2025/02/23 15:33] Andreas: watches Ana and follows her and Tand as he hears "inn"
[2025/02/23 15:35] Mecha: Oh indeed. I have a garden I tend to. there are many lovely flowers if you like." He says as they approach the inn. It is a two story building with a sign that simply says Inn. Attched is a shop that says one more thing curios.
[2025/02/23 15:35] Sapphire: "Ooh, a curious shop? Can I see?" One hand checks her belt pouches and the bags under her armored skirts, nodding to herself everything is still there.
[2025/02/23 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: "I have to pick ones that grow unattended."
[2025/02/23 15:36] Mecha: UNderstood, well from what i have heard there are various fields when you go west, However I think I saw a nice grouping on the other side of the river
[2025/02/23 15:37] Mecha: Everything you believe you had before waking up in the crater is still on your person
[2025/02/23 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: "The west we didn't go to? It'll keep." I clutch the flowers closer and chant over them some more.
[2025/02/23 15:39] Mecha: Certainly the Curio shop will be open tomorrow though as Grandfather and I had to go and well I guess meet up with you all."
[2025/02/23 15:39] Jassie: well that would definitely be worth checking out then for sure.
[2025/02/23 15:40] Sapphire: "I'd love to hear stories if you have them to tell."
[2025/02/23 15:40] Mecha: Grandfather and Tand walk up to the door."IF you wish to stay the night it will be on the house," Grandfather says. "There is a bit of trouble afoot and with any luck we can help."
[2025/02/23 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: "I'm not in any trouble."
[2025/02/23 15:41] Andreas: "I'm going to check the inn, I'm starving. And there isn't a better place for stories than sitting around the table with booze."
[2025/02/23 15:41] Jassie: well, that would be great and after that rude awakening, maybe we should just have a rest night and reconvene tomorrow
[2025/02/23 15:41] Jassie: whatcha think you all?
[2025/02/23 15:43] Andreas: walking inside the inn, looking around. "Thank you for your kindness Tand"
[2025/02/23 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: I put my flowers away carefully and follow into the inn and look round. Who's there?
[2025/02/23 15:43] Mecha: Tand smiles softly
[2025/02/23 15:43] Jassie: get some rtest and some food and some ale, you definitely could do with some ale there, points at kaetlin.
[2025/02/23 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Officers do not drink."
[2025/02/23 15:44] Mecha: As you all enter the inn there is a small crowd. Your usual grouping of travelers and locals relaxing, some are eating, some are drinking a young bard is in the corner playing music for entertainment
[2025/02/23 15:45] Sapphire: "They don't? Since when? All the officers I know get *super* drunk on wine when they can."
[2025/02/23 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Anyone away from the bard... in a quiet, dark, cozy corner?
[2025/02/23 15:45] Sapphire: oooh, how tall is the bard?
[2025/02/23 15:45] Mecha: *And that is our cliffhanger moment. What information does Grandfather and Tand have for our heroes, who was Shinigamo and what does he want? all of this will be answered next game. Same Bat time, same bat channel.*
[2025/02/23 15:46] Mecha: The bard is 3 feet tall
[2025/02/23 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Damn, I don't get to score?
[2025/02/23 15:46] Jassie: hehe
[2025/02/23 15:46] Mecha: Since the bard is in the corner there are a few people in corners
[2025/02/23 15:47] Mecha: *Apologies for pulling teh cliffhanger there but I just got called on an impromptu RL errand and will be gone for about 30 minutes and I don't want to do that to you all*
[2025/02/23 15:47] Sapphire: Ana smiles sweetly, already encouraged by the bard being only half a foot taller than she is.
[2025/02/23 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: I can score next week.
