[14:23] Mecha: Yes after chasing down some baddies there was a confrontation with a man in the leather shop over flowers on a whip. After that conversation everyone met up at the inn where they are eating and drinking
[14:23] Mecha: *This one is gonna get so spanked for that*
[14:23] Andreas: we got into tavern, asking about the ninjas.
[14:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: ooh ooh ooh me me me!
[14:25] Mecha: Yes, you are asking around about ninjas
[14:27] Sapphire: Ana was trying to be polite with the captain of the local town guard
[14:27] Sapphire: IE, the person who has actual jurisdiction over this town
[14:27] Andreas "so the ninjas are not hiring, huh? Tough guys. Or am I wrong?" Looking across the tavern to see a reaction.
[14:28] Sapphire: was also hanging out with Jassie.... hmmmm
[14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl is getting a cup of water at the bar, and looking to see where Andreas might be sitting.
[14:28] Mecha: *Ana by this point she had gone to the bar*
[14:29] Mecha: "EYYYYY What are you still doing here?!"
[14:31] Andreas "We came across these ninjas so we're wondering who they are, they are not very nice. Do you know anything about them?" looks at the one who's asking.
[14:31] Mecha: As that is staid you all feel the footfalls of Tand behind you
[14:31] Mecha: And with tand is Grandfather
[14:32] Mecha: Grabdfather: What do you mean ninjas?
[14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: "We had a slight problem with a leatherworker with attitude."
[14:32] Sapphire: "Oh hey." Ana waves and turns. "They were wearing all black and turned into shadows after they ducked into an alley. I'm kinda jealous of it, actually/
[14:36] Mecha: Oh you met them. If they are who I think it would be those are the shadewen. No one knows where they come from, but they are employed by the Shadowclaw. But they vanish into literally smoke. like fade into a whisp of smoke. They are very dangerous. I have seen one person beat one of them and upon its defeat it still turned into the smoke and disappeared
[14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: "so... they didn't actually beat them..."
[14:36] Sapphire: "How do you fight smoke.....?" She ponders this. "Maybe a big bellows....?"
[14:37] Mecha: They are solid enough to fight and move but they can turn to smoke upon defeat or to escape
[14:37] Andreas "Yeah, I'm jealous too on them. I wonder if they are hiring, those skills are exceptional. And what is that Shadowclaw, are they worshiping a diety or gods or shinigamos?" .... looks at Grandfather and than on Tand.
[14:41] Mecha: The Shadewen do not hire. It is believed they are summoned from another plane. As for the Shadowclaw I would assume you could join them but you would need to find their boss and no one knows who that is. But they are teh bad guys if they are working with the Shadewen
[14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl sips some water and checks what flowers I have handy
[14:42] Sapphire: "What do you use those flowers for?" Ana finally asks
[14:42] Mecha: *All the flowers you justpicked and any you have not gotten rid of from earlier*
[14:42] Sonja Bikergrrl looks at Ana with some surprise, as one might if they were in the shower and someone barged in, fully dressed, and took a whizz
[14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: "They are required for certain rites and rituals in honour of the Lady of Flowers."
[14:44] Sapphire: "Neat!"
[14:45] Andreas "from different plane you say, sounds like magic to me. I have pretty much no clue about it, but I've seen few interesting things. So the ninjas, Shadewen are not related in any way to the Shinigami nor Shinigumo?" scratches his chin and looks around ... "They must be after something, do we know what they usually want or do?"
[14:49] Sapphire: "Also, where do they go after turning into smoke?"
[14:50] Mecha: "Unfortunately any big depth I do know from what I told you is rumors only. There was talk of the Shadewen being associated with the Shinigumo, but not sure how and as for where they go. It is unknown.
[14:52] Andreas "hmm they seems really like a mistery. Well, so what should we do next?" looks at Ana and Kaitlyn
[14:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Finish our drinks."
[14:53] Sapphire: Ana drains her glass.
[14:54] Sonja Bikergrrl takes a tiny sip of her water
[14:54] Andreas "yeah and get more flowers, sure .... than what? There should be lead we just have to find it."
[14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl arches an eyebrow and slides the cup of water on the bar. "Let's go."
[14:56] Mecha: It is still middle of the day so it's up to you all what to do next
[14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Aren't we supposed to be going somewhere and finding a guy?)
[14:57] Andreas "heh yeah to find more flowers ofc. What about look around the town, maybe we will see or hear something what worth it" *grins* stands up and follows the flower lady.
[14:58] Sapphire: ( I think we were, yeah, then we got distracted by crime syndicate ))
[15:00] Mecha: Grandfather: HHave you gone to the tomb of Doo Lahn for the locator for the masks
[15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: "It's on our to-do pile."
[15:01] Sapphire: "Well, since we can't chase smoke, might as well look into the masks!"
[15:02] Mecha: Well I will leave you to it."Grandfather said before him and Tand leave
[15:04] Jassie: ty
[15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: evening Jassie, lassie
[15:04] Jassie: heya sonja!
[15:04] Andreas: hi Jassie
[15:04] Jassie: helloo
[15:05] Mecha: *So to get Jassie up to speed. Everyone was drinking and eating Grandfather arrived to answer questions leading to you all to decide what you wanna do*
[15:06] Sapphire: Jassie!
[15:06] Sapphire: Currently the two options are A) chase the smoke ninjas we don't understand, and B) explore the tomb and find the cool masks
[15:07] Jassie: ooo cool masks
[15:07] Jassie: thats my vote from a drunk
[15:08] Andreas "so let's find the carnival masks or whatever it is"
[15:10] Mecha: Is that everyones decision?
[15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Let's go.
[15:11] Jassie: interesting that SOnja's ok with it haha
[15:11] Jassie: her char is so uptight XD
[15:12] Mecha: So you head out into the world again. Heading back on the path?
[15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Are there some unusual flowers?
[15:13] Jassie: what u doing getting flowers there?
[15:14] Mecha: Not yet you're still leaving town
[15:14] Andreas "unusual fungi maybe"
[15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: there's a path, and probably flowers along it
[15:14] Mecha: As you walk essentially in the direction of the crater there are no unusual flowers but i need everyone to make a perception check
[15:14] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 16
[15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: d'oh.
[15:15] D20: Andreas rolls 17

[15:16] D20: Sapphire rolls 11
[15:17] Mecha: okay Mistress, andreas and Jassie you do not see anything but Sapphire you see an imprint in the dirt of the crater as you go by
[15:19] Sapphire: She detours to walk over and lean to check it out
[15:19] Jassie: you going somewhere Ana?
[15:20] Jassie: follows along with while taking a swig from some of the whisky she tookaway from the pub
[15:20] Sapphire: "Something weird, one moment."
[15:21] Jassie: ohh ok
[15:21] Jassie: follows along
[15:22] Mecha: As you arrive you see what looks to be the imprint of a mask in the dirt. A pair of small footprints seem to lead to it and instead of it being dragged it looks like the mask was lifted straight up
[15:23] Sapphire: "Hey, this looks mask-shaped..." she starts following where the footprints lead after they got the mask
[15:23] Mecha: They go out of the crater and seem to disappear across the field into the woods
[15:24] Andreas "flowers, craters, talking heads .... now flying masks. I may appreciate bit of the whisky" ... looks at Jasse.and grins
[15:24] Sapphire: She keeps following the tracks
[15:25] Jassie gives tyakes out a small spare flask of it, "ere, help yourself."
[15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: I follow. There might be some orange flowers
[15:25] Jassie: burps a little while following along

[15:27] Jassie: LOL
[15:27] Mecha: You see one or two orange flowers, but not a lot as it is early into orange flower season and they have not all begun to bloom
[15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl picks two orange flowers
[15:30] D20: Sapphire rolls 19
[15:30] Sapphire: hmmmm
[15:30] Mecha: The tracks disappear in the tall grass and they are gone
[15:32] Jassie: "maybe we need to burn the grass," says jokingly
[15:33] Sapphire: "Hey! That would kill so much of this stuff...." she hmmms, wandering around in a spiral to try to re-find the tracks
[15:33] Jassie: I'll try and help Ana out
[15:34] Mecha: What about the rest of you?
[15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: watching the two, checking if there are some purple flowers
[15:34] Andreas sips the whisky and follows the pack "wherever it leads"
[15:35] Jassie: PURPLE
[15:35] Jassie: OOC moment, if Sonja finds purple flowers, I'm grabbing them first hehe

[15:38] D20: Sapphire rolls 9
[15:38] Mecha nods
[15:41] Mecha: You find one purple flower. and as you reach for it a foot comes down on it. Looking up you see a Goblin looking down at you, and in his hand is a mask which he puts on his face. His features turning malicious and taking on the features of the mask as he steps back. Three other goblins run from the woods as well." You are in a 12 piece deep fried bucket of trouble now."He says. the other goblins look confused by that statement
[15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Yeah? You're about to get a bakers' dozen pieces of trouble rammen somewhere in a minute."
[15:42] Jassie: how many gobbos are there?
[15:43] Mecha: *Total of 4. On wearing a mask and three non masked*
[15:44] Sapphire: "oooh! That's a lot of peices!" She grins, her hand going to her sword hilt as she takes up a defensive stance. "So! Who do we have the honor of dueling with today? I'm Ana'te'nilin!"
[15:45] Sapphire: She readies her shield as well during the banter phase
[15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Who cares? They stole from the Lady of Flowers! Cut them down!"
[15:46] Jassie: "the Lady of flowers?" she ponders to herself as she takes out her halberd
[15:46] Mecha: A Non masked goblin starts to speak but the masked one puts a hand out."Names are unimportant, you wont be around long enough to remember them."His words are decidedly un-goblin like.
[15:46] Mecha: Roll initiative

[15:51] D20: Mecha rolls 17
[15:51] Mecha: I believe that is a hit
[15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: does that hit AC 2?
[15:54] Mecha: *Sets fire to ThaCo* Barely misses
[15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut it's a miss?
[15:55] Mecha: Yes it's a smegging miss
[15:56] Sapphire: :o
[15:56] Sapphire: init order?
[15:56] Mecha: The rock flies and strikes you on the plate mail, bouncing off harmlessly but making a nice pinging noise as it does.
[15:57] Mecha: Jassie, your go
[15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl smiles while laughing. "Ha ha ha!" :)
[15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Nailed it.
[15:57] Andreas moving slowly away from trouble, shoving the potion of whisky into a pocket and getting ready the mirror.
[15:57] Jassie: okiee
[15:58] Jassie: since he doesn;t take the whisky, I'm a little perturbed and now smash him with the halberd.in an overhead strike."Who ignores a good drink!"
[15:59] D20: Jassie rolls 13
[15:59] Mecha: to which one?
[15:59] Jassie: the masked one
[15:59] Andreas grins "I'm saving it for alter"
[15:59] Andreas: *later
[15:59] Mecha: You miss. The swing looks dead on, but at the last second he simply sidesteps it.
[16:00] Jassie: "i might be a tad too drunk."
[16:01] Andreas tries to shine the reflection from a mirror to their eyes, aiming at the one which is closest to any of us.
[16:01] Mecha: The Mask one sees this and smiles wickedly as the mask begins to glow. A moment later four of those shadow ninjas appear, but these look different. they almost look like goblin ninjas.
[16:01] D20: Mecha rolls 18
[16:02] Mecha: *They will go on next round*
[16:02] Mecha: And that ends his turn
[16:03] Mecha: Next Goblin looks at this and backs up, looking scared.
[16:03] Sapphire: (( who's turn? ))
[16:04] Andreas: I'm running out of time
[16:04] Mecha: *Sapphire your turn
[16:05] Sapphire: "Impressive trick!" She dashes to one side and thrusts her sword sword at the nearest ninja, expecting that most of them are fake and will crumple upon impact.
[16:05] D20: Sapphire rolls 15
[16:06] Mecha: The sword goes through the inja roll damage
[16:06] D6: Sapphire rolls 4
[16:07] Sapphire: and Str 13 has +1 ?

[16:07] Mecha: Mistress and Andreas your turn
[16:08] Mecha: *We will cliffhanger after Mistress and Andreas' turn. I want to make sure everyone is here for the rest of the fight.*
[16:08] Andreas shines the light reflection at one of the ninjas, aiming at the eyes.
[16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl draws her whip and flicks it out and goes for the flower thief. "I'm going to ENJOY this!"
[16:08] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 18
[16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: 18! BOOYAH! Hits AC 1 :P
[16:09] D20: Andreas rolls 12
[16:10] Jassie: okk
[16:10] Mecha: Andreas it does slightly blind the ninja but it isn't a direct blinding.
[16:11] Mecha: Okay Mistress you hit, roll your damage.
[16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: \o/
[16:11] D4: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 3
[16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Whipped for 3hp!

[16:13] D20: Sonja Bikergrrl rolls 5
[16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: success
[16:13] Mecha: Yep. You see the wound beginning to knit on its own.

[16:14] Mecha: *And with that we are cliffhangering. Will see you next week where we continue to fight the good fight
