[2025/06/08 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Shall we start the game, maybe?
[2025/06/08 14:22] Mecha: Yes
[2025/06/08 14:22] Andreas: /me let's slay some monsters
[2025/06/08 14:22] Jassie: yup
[2025/06/08 14:23] Mecha: when we last left our heroes A lock was being picked after a couple beings took some food from a table. During a search to find a locator device to help them secure dangerous magical masks
[2025/06/08 14:26] Mecha: So, what ya doin'?
[2025/06/08 14:27] Sapphire: Hmmmm, magical masks... hope they turn out to be cute ones ;)
[2025/06/08 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Same as before, staying away from the others and watching, while leaning against a wall, arms crossed disapprovingly
[2025/06/08 14:27] Sapphire: Ah yes, I -think- Ana was being very trusting of the food?
[2025/06/08 14:28] Jassie: ah food is good, gets her drink out, takes a swig and says, I mean if u dont try it out, you'll never know what it does
[2025/06/08 14:29] Andreas: /me "anything what is cuter than shinigumo should be okay, well at least nicer, maybe like me", pulls the plate with food from Jassie and takes a first bite.
[2025/06/08 14:29] Mecha: So, that's 3 people who ate the food. *takes notes*
[2025/06/08 14:30] Jassie: oh I dont only eat the food, I have a good meal
[2025/06/08 14:30] Andreas: /me "It takes like chicken" grins
[2025/06/08 14:31] Mecha: This one thinks Ana was the one trying to pick the lock on one of the chests
[2025/06/08 14:31] Sapphire: Yes.... trying her hand at lock picking.... and if that doesn't work switching to a pointy hammer.
[2025/06/08 14:32] Mecha: Well, when last attempted it didn't work before of a friendly back slap
[2025/06/08 14:32] Mecha: You can always try again
[2025/06/08 14:32] Andreas: /me "you should leave it to a professional" takes another bite "well tastes like a weird chicken", maybe I should leave the rest.
[2025/06/08 14:33] Jassie: hmm hows the taste of the food?
[2025/06/08 14:33] Jassie: good?
[2025/06/08 14:33] Andreas: /me "had better, but yeah, when you're hungry ... "
[2025/06/08 14:33] Mecha: It tastes good. Real effort was put into this
[2025/06/08 14:34] Jassie: oh then i'm really going all out
[2025/06/08 14:35] Jassie: should waste good food
[2025/06/08 14:36] Jassie: shouldn't*
[2025/06/08 14:36] Sapphire: ok, trying the lockpicking again
[2025/06/08 14:36] D20: Sapphire rolls 15
[2025/06/08 14:36] Mecha: Roll for it
[2025/06/08 14:36] Jassie: "need help with that lock?" says while still eating
[2025/06/08 14:36] Sapphire: A 15... or do you need D% ?
[2025/06/08 14:36] Mecha: dexterity roll a 15 it is
[2025/06/08 14:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: d% usually.

[2025/06/08 14:42] D20: Sapphire rolls 20
[2025/06/08 14:42] Sapphire: dang it
[2025/06/08 14:43] Mecha: *Sigh* and what are you using for the pick?
[2025/06/08 14:44] Andreas: /me looking around for a toothpick
[2025/06/08 14:44] Mecha: either way it's broken while you try
[2025/06/08 14:45] Sapphire: um, whatever bits of metal I have around
[2025/06/08 14:45] Sapphire: there might actually be some suitable forks on the dinner tables!
[2025/06/08 14:45] Mecha: So a broken fork. Andreas are you now trying as well
[2025/06/08 14:46] Jassie: ehhh... what does the lock look like?
[2025/06/08 14:46] Jassie: like whats it made of?
[2025/06/08 14:46] Andreas: /me "pass me the lock, and let me try"
[2025/06/08 14:46] Mecha: It looks like a normal lock
[2025/06/08 14:46] Sapphire: Ana's pretty happy to let someone who knows what they're doing handle the lock
[2025/06/08 14:47] Andreas: /me I have the thieves' tools, so lockpick should be there.
[2025/06/08 14:47] D20: Andreas rolls 10
[2025/06/08 14:49] Mecha: okay you pop the lock. Now roll dexterity again
[2025/06/08 14:49] D20: Andreas rolls 9
[2025/06/08 14:49] Andreas: my dex is 15+1
[2025/06/08 14:50] Jassie: stuffs a meat in 1 side of her mouth and takes her halberd and tries to smash the lock with her strength if it fails LOL
[2025/06/08 14:50] Mecha: You manage to dodge out of the way as a small needle launches from the lock, missing you
[2025/06/08 14:50] Jassie: if andreas fails
[2025/06/08 14:51] Mecha: Andreas succeeded so the lock is unlocked, but he didn't check for traps so almost got hit by it
[2025/06/08 14:52] Sapphire: "Oooh! I wonder if that needle had poison on it..."
[2025/06/08 14:52] Andreas: /me "I always forgot about traps, when I get excited ... okay, so as I said, leave it to a professional" grins
[2025/06/08 14:54] Jassie: lowers her halberd down, "oh, I was just gonna go in halberd blazin on that lock, might do somethin." chuckles to herself
[2025/06/08 14:54] Mecha: So upon opening the chest. there as a bag in the chest, and a ring
[2025/06/08 14:55] Sapphire: "Shiny! May I?" she holds a hand out for the ring.
[2025/06/08 14:56] Andreas: /me "women and jewelery .... " shakes his had
[2025/06/08 14:57] Andreas: *head
[2025/06/08 14:58] Jassie: "hey! I heard that." mumbles as she bites on the leg, so anything interesting?
[2025/06/08 14:59] Andreas: /me takes the bag and tries to open it "well, maybe I should check for the traps, who knows what is in"
[2025/06/08 14:59] Mecha: Roll for it
[2025/06/08 14:59] D20: Andreas rolls 5
[2025/06/08 14:59] Mecha: nope no traps
[2025/06/08 15:00] Andreas: /me "so let's have a look, it smells old ..." opens the bag carefully and looks suspiciously in
[2025/06/08 15:01] Mecha: There is 50 GP in the bag
[2025/06/08 15:01] Jassie: ooo looks like u hit the jackpot there
[2025/06/08 15:02] Andreas: /me "hmmm looks like nothing important, I throw it away later", puts the bag into his pocket.
[2025/06/08 15:02] Sapphire: Ana seeks to inspect the ring, holding it in her palm and looking it over for inscriptions, gemstones, metal type, and any other neat properties it might happen
[2025/06/08 15:03] D20: Mecha rolls 13
[2025/06/08 15:03] Mecha: It is an interesting ring. The band looks to be silver, and the gem is pearl like with an interesting color spectrum from pink to blue and back again
[2025/06/08 15:04] Jassie: "that ring looks gorgeous Ana!" checking it out with you
[2025/06/08 15:04] Jassie: probably would sell for a pretty penny if you dont keep it
[2025/06/08 15:04] Sapphire: "Pretty." Would it be able to fit under her gauntlet or would they get in the way? if the second, she'll get some cord from her inventory to make a quick neclace for it, otherwise planning to put it on her left hand.
[2025/06/08 15:05] Andreas: /me "try to put it on your finger, how it looks"
[2025/06/08 15:05] Sapphire: ( "Full Plate" includes gauntlets as I recall? ))
[2025/06/08 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmhmm
[2025/06/08 15:05] Mecha: /me nods
[2025/06/08 15:06] Andreas: /me "if you can't use it, than it's useless for you, maybe someone else should try"
[2025/06/08 15:06] Mecha: *Watches, curious.*
[2025/06/08 15:07] Jassie: @mecha, "is she gonna go full on My rpecious now?"
[2025/06/08 15:07] Mecha: IF she decides to. However as for the ring coercing her. Sapphire roll a d20
[2025/06/08 15:08] Jassie: oh boy
[2025/06/08 15:08] Andreas: /me smiles "so who's gonna try the ring? It looks really nice"
[2025/06/08 15:08] Sapphire: Ana loves shiny things either way, it'd be pretty easy to convince her to wear it.
[2025/06/08 15:08] D20: Sapphire rolls 13
[2025/06/08 15:09] Mecha: No it is not coercing you
[2025/06/08 15:09] Sapphire: She takes her gauntlet off and slides it on with a smile. "Awesome."
[2025/06/08 15:09] Mecha: Any decision you make about the ring is yours and yours alone
[2025/06/08 15:09] Jassie: well finders keepers I always say
[2025/06/08 15:11] Mecha: IF you wear it, you wear it your choice
[2025/06/08 15:11] Andreas: /me "yeah maybe, but with her gauntlets ... anyway, up to you"
[2025/06/08 15:12] Sapphire: She started wearing it like three minutes ago ;)
[2025/06/08 15:12] Jassie: hehe
[2025/06/08 15:12] Sapphire: "I'm in town sometimes! And I'll know its there anyway."
[2025/06/08 15:13] Andreas: /me "at least you won't loose it and nobody will steel it" smiles
[2025/06/08 15:14] Mecha: You put it on 3 minutes ago, roll constitution
[2025/06/08 15:14] Mecha: Roll under 12
[2025/06/08 15:14] D20: Sapphire rolls 3
[2025/06/08 15:15] Mecha: okay, you feel a weird magic come over you but you manage to shake off the effects
[2025/06/08 15:16] Andreas: /me "so what are we gonna do next?" bites last bit of the food, which doesn't taste as well as it looks
[2025/06/08 15:17] Mecha: It does so
[2025/06/08 15:17] Jassie: I've eaten most of the food and slurping it up
[2025/06/08 15:18] Jassie: you sure you don't want some Kaelin?
[2025/06/08 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mmhmm.
[2025/06/08 15:18] Jassie: stop sulking ovber there and try some
[2025/06/08 15:18] Mecha: All right so there are two chest left and a table pretty much devoid of food
[2025/06/08 15:19] Sapphire: "Hmmmm...." she wponders what sort of effect the weird stuff was... maybe she can *use* it later!
[2025/06/08 15:19] Andreas: /me "should I try the other two chests? I guess I should, but I should check for the traps this time"
[2025/06/08 15:19] Jassie: tries just chopping one of the locks with halberd
[2025/06/08 15:19] Mecha: Speaking of, Kaelin.. Bloom nudges you."Hey boss there is some dirt over there. think I can plant myself for a couple minutes, be a nice recharge.
[2025/06/08 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me nods. "Very well."
[2025/06/08 15:20] Mecha: All right Jassie roll sttrength
[2025/06/08 15:20] Jassie: I gotta try it once
[2025/06/08 15:20] Jassie: 12str
[2025/06/08 15:20] D20: Jassie rolls 14
[2025/06/08 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: uh oh
[2025/06/08 15:22] Andreas: /me pulls the other chest closer and starts examining if for traps including lock
[2025/06/08 15:22] Mecha: YOu hit it square on but since your strngth check failed you hit solid and the reverberations shake you up through your core. The lock stays solid
[2025/06/08 15:22] Mecha: Roll perception
[2025/06/08 15:22] D20: Andreas rolls 20
[2025/06/08 15:22] Jassie: still shaking, goes to sit at the table
[2025/06/08 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me facepalms
[2025/06/08 15:22] Jassie: i think i need a break
[2025/06/08 15:23] Mecha: Nope you are completely sure there are no traps on this lock. YOu know it in your soul
[2025/06/08 15:24] Andreas: /me pulls a lockpick from his set and tries to open the lock on the second chest
[2025/06/08 15:24] D20: Andreas rolls 7
[2025/06/08 15:24] Mecha: You were correct there is no trap as the lock opens, unlocking the chest
[2025/06/08 15:25] Sapphire: What's in this one?
[2025/06/08 15:25] Mecha: Bloom hops down and plants herself in a small pile of dirt, shaking her posterior as she moves
[2025/06/08 15:25] Mecha: There is a scroll there
[2025/06/08 15:26] Andreas: /me "who can read?" looks around
[2025/06/08 15:26] Mecha: A rather basic looking scroll a simple string surrounds it holding it in place
[2025/06/08 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: I should think I can
[2025/06/08 15:27] Jassie: depends what language its in?
[2025/06/08 15:28] Andreas: /me takes the scroll from the chest and throws it gently to Sonja "you're the winner, maybe there is a nice story or recipe"
[2025/06/08 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: o_o
[2025/06/08 15:29] Andreas: /me pulls closer the 3rd remaining chest and start checking it for traps
[2025/06/08 15:29] D20: Andreas rolls 11
[2025/06/08 15:29] Sapphire: Sheepskin parchment or woodpulp paper?
[2025/06/08 15:29] Mecha: wood pulp paper
[2025/06/08 15:30] Mecha: You're pretty sure there are no traps.
[2025/06/08 15:30] Andreas: /me cracks his fingers, takes a lockpick and starts with the lock
[2025/06/08 15:30] D20: Andreas rolls 3
[2025/06/08 15:31] Mecha: The lock pops rather easilly
[2025/06/08 15:31] Andreas: /me opens the chest slowly and peaks in
[2025/06/08 15:31] Mecha: You see... The top of a head
[2025/06/08 15:31] Jassie: so what shinies you found this time?
[2025/06/08 15:32] Andreas: /me "looks like hmmm, I'm not sure what it is" closes the lid of the chest and moves it towards Jassie
[2025/06/08 15:32] Mecha: And the chest begins to shake and a being rises from the chest. This being would definitely look like an elf except the light blue skin and white hair
[2025/06/08 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: And, this scroll?
[2025/06/08 15:32] Mecha: What languages do you speak Mistress?
[2025/06/08 15:32] Mecha: Er does kaelin know?
[2025/06/08 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: idk.... Common, probably
[2025/06/08 15:33] Jassie: oh what the
[2025/06/08 15:33] Jassie: grabs her halberd
[2025/06/08 15:33] Jassie: "identify yourself!" I say with a leg of lamb still in my mouth
[2025/06/08 15:34] Mecha: If anyone has over 13 int they can get one more language
[2025/06/08 15:35] Mecha: The being steps out of the chest."Oh it was so stuffy in there. So welcome to the burial mound / temple. How are you all doing?" He looks at teh table."Oh my.. Did you all get your fill?"
[2025/06/08 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "They did, yes."
[2025/06/08 15:36] Jassie: "no idea what your talkign about!" halberd still raised as I quickly try to finish the lanb leg
[2025/06/08 15:37] Mecha: He chuckles and looks at Kaelin."So you are unfed. OH my indeed.
[2025/06/08 15:37] Sapphire: "I hope we're not imposing too much."
[2025/06/08 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Can't say I'm particularly hungry."
[2025/06/08 15:37] Mecha: With the food? NO I feel no imposition of that... Not my food.
[2025/06/08 15:38] Mecha: Anyway what are you all here for? Anything I can help with?
[2025/06/08 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Maybe. Maybe you could help us with our enquiries."
[2025/06/08 15:39] Andreas: /me "we're here for carnival a weird one, we're looking for masks" shrugs
[2025/06/08 15:39] Mecha: Afraid I can not help you with masks but... Wait are you here for the locator?
[2025/06/08 15:40] Jassie: also you have a name?
[2025/06/08 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "That might well be the thing we are looking for."
[2025/06/08 15:40] Sapphire: "To the masks?" At the mention of names, "Oh! You can call me Ana," she adds with a toothy grin.
[2025/06/08 15:41] Mecha: Oh I do have a name." Before looking at Kaelin."Oh well if you're here, you're in the wrong section." He points off past the table to a hallway on the left."Head down there and you will find it
[2025/06/08 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "And this scroll?"
[2025/06/08 15:43] Jassie: well lets go then
[2025/06/08 15:44] Jassie: oh name thats right
[2025/06/08 15:44] Mecha: HE looks at teh scroll and smiles."Apologies. I did not know you didn't speak Sylvan."With a wave of his hand the words become common language... and it is an ale recipe
[2025/06/08 15:45] Mecha: And nice to meet you Ana. YEs the locator is to find some kind of masks. I am unclear of the story myself
[2025/06/08 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Interesting." *stuffs the scroll in her pack* "Bloom. Time to go."
[2025/06/08 15:45] Jassie: ALE?!
[2025/06/08 15:45] Jassie: ok we definitely gotta make some of that Kaelin!
[2025/06/08 15:45] Mecha: Bloom pops out of the dirt and shakes off some of the dirt before climbing back up to Kaelins shoulder
[2025/06/08 15:45] Andreas: /me "I'm Andreas, can you do another tricks like hmm change a copper into gold?" smiles
[2025/06/08 15:46] Jassie: "try some of mine?" hands him the flask
[2025/06/08 15:46] Mecha: He narrows his eyes and looks at Andreas, I could.. but I wont. Get a job."
[2025/06/08 15:47] Mecha: He looks at JAssie."Try some of your what?
[2025/06/08 15:48] Jassie: "whisky." smiles innocently
[2025/06/08 15:48] Andreas: /me "yeye, I believe you, you can't do it, I knew you're one of those who just talk and can't do anything" grins
[2025/06/08 15:49] Sapphire: "Don't be mean to the nice... " she tilts hear head. "...sky elf?" she guesses purely on skin tone.
[2025/06/08 15:49] Mecha: He smiles at Jassie."Thank you no. I'm not mcuh of a drinker." He then looks at Andreas. "Whether I can or cant you have the same result.
[2025/06/08 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin *snickers, strolls to entryway*
[2025/06/08 15:51] Mecha: Do the rest of you follow?
[2025/06/08 15:51] Jassie: "typical of elves...." mumbles under her breath as he rejects thew drink
[2025/06/08 15:51] Jassie: yes follows while mumbling under her breath about all elves are the same
[2025/06/08 15:51] Sapphire: Following the elf or ?
[2025/06/08 15:52] Andreas: /me rolls his eyes disappointed and pushes a plate with food towards the head "maybe you should eat something, you look bit skinny"
[2025/06/08 15:52] Mecha: Oh honey I am not your typical elf, but I do appreciate the offer of drink. Most elves would be rude about it. I however try to be polite.
[2025/06/08 15:53] Mecha: He looks at Ana and sees the ring."Good luck with that ring."
[2025/06/08 15:53] Jassie: fair enough
[2025/06/08 15:54] Sapphire: "Thank you!" She cheers. "Any advice with it?"
[2025/06/08 15:55] Mecha: He looks a bit confused for a moment."Honestly I am not allowed to say. I apologize. even I have to follow the rules."
[2025/06/08 15:55] Jassie: rrules of whom then may I ask?
[2025/06/08 15:56] Mecha: The being who owns this place.. long story."
[2025/06/08 15:57] Jassie: and he or she have a name?
[2025/06/08 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Kaelin: "Love to hear it, maybe after we got the locator thingy."
[2025/06/08 15:58] Jassie: oh fine Kaelin, lets go
[2025/06/08 15:59] Mecha: And off you go down the hallway. As you go you hear the blue elf."A hint. Don't forget to put it back to find the locator
[2025/06/08 16:00] Jassie: I'm gonna assume he means the ring
[2025/06/08 16:00] Mecha: Oh the heck with it oh by the way, good luck sir or Madam
[2025/06/08 16:01] Jassie: who you calling Sir or Madam! looks back shouting
[2025/06/08 16:01] Sapphire: "Put what back... the ring?"

[2025/06/08 16:02] Mecha: You hear no more from the elf as you move
[2025/06/08 16:03] Jassie: and then pretends he didnt say anything

[2025/06/08 16:03] Andreas: /me is this a cliffhanger?
[2025/06/08 16:03] Mecha: As you approach a corner of the hallway you hear humming and a small note card floats in the air
[2025/06/08 16:04] Jassie: grabs it to have a look
[2025/06/08 16:04] Jassie: if I can
[2025/06/08 16:04] Mecha: It has words on it

[2025/06/08 16:05] Mecha: I have given you those words in IM so you can say them or pass them over

[2025/06/08 16:06] Mecha: As you say it a quintet of five men appear wearing button down shirts, vests slacks and fedoras and begin sings acapella building up to them singing in unison and perfect synch "Cliffhanger!"
