[2025/09/21 14:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Grrrrrrrrreetings, Andreas
[2025/09/21 14:04] Mecha: Hi Andreas
[2025/09/21 14:05] Andreas: hi kittens
[2025/09/21 14:09] Mecha: Beep Boop *hugglesmooches*
[2025/09/21 14:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, I said we'd start at 10 past, it's ten past
[2025/09/21 14:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... GGGRRREEEETTTIIINNNGGSSSS Adventurers! Other players get to have scenes of horror and death involving charming vampires, you get village rumours and Silas' embarassing personal problem to deal with.
[2025/09/21 14:12] Sapphire: hhow embarrassing?
[2025/09/21 14:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: And before we start, let's take a few moments to meditate with Nipsy, the D&D Kitty

Nipsy, the D&D Kitty

[2025/09/21 14:12] Mecha: Awww adorable
[2025/09/21 14:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Everyone roll a D20
[2025/09/21 14:14] D20: Mecha rolls 20
[2025/09/21 14:14] Jassie: heya sorry
[2025/09/21 14:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh boy, first roll, a nat20!
[2025/09/21 14:14] D20: Sapphire rolls 2
[2025/09/21 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie, roll a D20
[2025/09/21 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: and Andreas
[2025/09/21 14:15] D20: Andreas rolls 15
[2025/09/21 14:15] D20: Jassie rolls 3
[2025/09/21 14:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Highest was Mecha: roll 2d6 please
[2025/09/21 14:15] D6: Mecha rolls 3
[2025/09/21 14:15] D6: Mecha rolls 4
[2025/09/21 14:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oh my. You'll discover what that was about soon enough.
[2025/09/21 14:16] Jassie: oh haha
[2025/09/21 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: But let's start! You're in Sleepy Hollow, a small village of no particular note. Sleepy Hollow is a small collection of cottages, surrounding a temple, a tavern, with a blacksmith and a mage tower on the outskirts. Nearby is a henge. You start in the tavern "Ale for Sale".
[2025/09/21 14:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: The barkeeper gruffly greets you: "Ale fer sale! What'll ye 'ave?"
[2025/09/21 14:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2025/09/21 14:19] Jassie: anything other than ale?
[2025/09/21 14:19] Sapphire: "Just the one kind?"
[2025/09/21 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeep: "We got all kindsa drinks here. Bog grog, Ciderella, Dwarven Stout, or Honey Pine Dew."
[2025/09/21 14:21] Jassie: honey pine dew sounds lovely yes!
[2025/09/21 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeep: "Or, we got Coala, new one just in."
[2025/09/21 14:21] Sapphire: "stout is fine."
[2025/09/21 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Honey Pine Dew - An imported halfling mead, served in small cups. Very pleasant taste, cheap in halfling towns, but expensive elsewhere. 8sgp
[2025/09/21 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dwarven Stout - A strong drink, not recommended if you cannot handle your alcohol. Traditionally served on the rocks, literally. There are pieces of stone lying on the bottom of your drink. Said to give the true mining flavor. This drink will make any dwarf feel very nostalgic. 6sp
[2025/09/21 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha, Andreas?
[2025/09/21 14:24] Mecha: Beltadona looks around. "Um, May I just have some kind of juice."
[2025/09/21 14:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeep: "Coala?"
[2025/09/21 14:24] Mecha: Beltadona nods."Yes please."
[2025/09/21 14:25] Jassie: wow 8sp for a drink?
[2025/09/21 14:25] Jassie: damn
[2025/09/21 14:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Coala - a Dwarven invention, this black bubbly drink tastes like grinded coal with sugar, but also makes you feel reinvigorated and less tired. 6sp
[2025/09/21 14:26] Mecha: Beltadona nods."Yes please, and a cup of tea as well."
[2025/09/21 14:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: The drinks are invigorating and relaxing. It may be worth remembering that. The bar echoes with the muttering of villagers talking and drinking at various tables.
[2025/09/21 14:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, what do you do next?
[2025/09/21 14:28] Sapphire: check around the people in the tavern for ones I recognize. WEve' been here a while, ye?"
[2025/09/21 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: mostly, you arrived just today. There's the usual collection of peasants and serfs and similar forgettable NPCs.
[2025/09/21 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas?
[2025/09/21 14:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: or Jassie?
[2025/09/21 14:30] Jassie: I'm not sure where we're going with this, so am following along for now
[2025/09/21 14:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2025/09/21 14:30] Sapphire: ( Do we know each other? )
[2025/09/21 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Presumeably you met on the way or as you came in)
[2025/09/21 14:32] Mecha: Looking through her sack. She has some things to get for the temple.
[2025/09/21 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: While you're looking.... you notice something.
[2025/09/21 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yes! It's time to see what that die roll was all about.
[2025/09/21 14:33] Sapphire: o.o
[2025/09/21 14:33] Mecha: Is it in the sack?
[2025/09/21 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: The tavern has a cat, which is not unusual in itself, and card players, also not unusual in itself.
[2025/09/21 14:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: What -is- unusual is the cat saunters by you, with a card in it's mouth, which it drops near you. Curious? You take a look at it...
[2025/09/21 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Nipsy passes you a Joker card. You may re-roll any ONE roll
[2025/09/21 14:34] Jassie: CATTO!
[2025/09/21 14:34] Mecha: Looks at the card curiously and then to the cat
[2025/09/21 14:34] Jassie: can i hugs the cat!
[2025/09/21 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie hugs the cat, who purrs and then saunters away to hunt mice.
[2025/09/21 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: what are you going to do? Who you going to talk to?
[2025/09/21 14:36] Sapphire: pay for that dwarven stout and sit at the bar. "How have things been going? Anything happening soon people are looking forwards to?"
[2025/09/21 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeep: "Going on? What are ye on about. This is a quiet place, nothing going on. Eh. Unless you mean that as what happened the other night."
[2025/09/21 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas, Jassie?
[2025/09/21 14:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: or Mecha :)
[2025/09/21 14:39] Mecha: What do you mean? What happened the other night?
[2025/09/21 14:39] Jassie: what happened? the other night? I look up as I'm kinda following the cat around
[2025/09/21 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Aye, so you're here to investigate the strange occurances? Ye best be talkin' t' the village mage, or our cleric. Ye kin find them at the tower, or the temple, aye? We be simple, plain folk, we got no truck with no wizardry or nuffin' like that."
[2025/09/21 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2025/09/21 14:40] Sapphire: "I mean, most villages I get to people are talking about some new canal they're digging or someone planning a wedding. Even if it's quiet compared to a city. but aye, strange is usually our business as adventurers."
[2025/09/21 14:41] Mecha: Speaking of which, May I order a barrel or two of Coala for the temple?
[2025/09/21 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Aye, well, we're farming folk, we got no truck with anything. Go talk ta the wizard or the cleric, aye?"
[2025/09/21 14:41] Jassie: "oh the village mage? that might be easier to talk to, us being fellow magic folk, where might we find this wizard?"
[2025/09/21 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeep: "Ye can't miss him. Big ornate tower at the edge of town. Bit peculiar, but ain't all wizards, aye?" *chuckles, as do the nearest drinkers* "The priest, he's usually in the temple, just opposite the square."
[2025/09/21 14:43] Sapphire: "....alright, I'll do that then. Is it alright to walk out with the beer tankard?"
[2025/09/21 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Ye'll bring it back tomorra, aye?"
[2025/09/21 14:45] Jassie: i drink up the honey pine dew, "by the way, whose cat is this?"
[2025/09/21 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "'tis my cat, Nipsy!"
[2025/09/21 14:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Andreas, Mecha?
[2025/09/21 14:47] Sapphire: /me nods. "When I geet back from talking with the mystic types, yeah."
[2025/09/21 14:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... heading to the wizard first?
[2025/09/21 14:48] Jassie: "OH! well you have a lovely cat then!" i look at the cat, "Bye Bye then Nipsy!" yup Wizard first I guess
[2025/09/21 14:48] Sapphire: sure, wizard first is as good as the other.
[2025/09/21 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you all head to the door, a villager pauses in the act of drinking his ale. He looks at you, with a far-away expression. “Don’t go too deep.” He immediately turns back to his ale.
[2025/09/21 14:49] Mecha: Beltadona looks at the barkeep. "Before I go.. How much for two barrels of Coala for the temple.?
[2025/09/21 14:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "I only got the one barrel, and I needs that."
[2025/09/21 14:50] Mecha: All right, then when more comes in please let the temple know. The high priestess heard of it and she is curious.
[2025/09/21 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me pauses, in case anyone comments about the villager
[2025/09/21 14:51] Sapphire: "Too deep... as in, into the tower?"
[2025/09/21 14:51] Jassie: looks inquiringly at the villager "too deep?"
[2025/09/21 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Villager looks at you, surprised. "You what, friend?"
[2025/09/21 14:52] Sapphire: "Thought you said something, is all."
[2025/09/21 14:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: The villager shakes his head. "not I."
[2025/09/21 14:54] Jassie: "hmmm, I swear, i heard you say something...." turns to the others, and whispers, "you all heard it too right?"
[2025/09/21 14:54] Mecha: Beltadona shrugs."Sorry I was talking with the bartender."
[2025/09/21 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... on to the wizard?
[2025/09/21 14:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's easy to find him. The wizard’s spiraling tower looms at the village’s edge, its dark stone walls twisting skyward like a great, ancient vine. Ornate gargoyles and glowing runes adorn the exterior, hinting at powerful magic within. A spiral staircase coils around the outside, leading to an arched, rune-covered entrance. From its summit, one can see the entire village, the surrounding forests, and distant mountains.
[2025/09/21 14:57] Jassie: well hes definitely got a better tower than what I got, looks at my staff
[2025/09/21 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2025/09/21 14:57] Sapphire: how tall is the tower?
[2025/09/21 14:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Tall. It's definitely not small, at all.
[2025/09/21 14:57] Sapphire: "Think he paid the locals to but that together?"
[2025/09/21 14:57] Sapphire: *put
[2025/09/21 14:58] Jassie: or just magicked it up, thats a very common thing too
[2025/09/21 14:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2025/09/21 14:59] Sapphire: "Is it? what kinda things can you magick up?"
[2025/09/21 15:00] Mecha: Beltadona holds her club in her hands.and looks around
[2025/09/21 15:00] Sapphire: they turn back to the tower. "Think it came with furniture too?"
[2025/09/21 15:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Any plans to gain entry?
[2025/09/21 15:01] Jassie: well, depends how powerful a wizard this guy is, i've heard some can alter reality and such as well
[2025/09/21 15:02] Mecha: We can always knock. No need to try and barge in
[2025/09/21 15:03] Jassie: good idea,
[2025/09/21 15:03] Sapphire: /me sighs and heads up to knock before the knuckheads of the party do something silly.
[2025/09/21 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: You knock on the door? At first there's no response, then muffled curses, and a faint muttering: "Oh, who is it now?" then a louder but obviously elder voice: "Come in, come in, the door isn't locked."
[2025/09/21 15:04] Sapphire: /me opens the door, wipes their feet on the mat and heads in
[2025/09/21 15:05] Jassie: follows with sapphire
[2025/09/21 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: You see the rather elderly wizard, Irenicus, busy thumbing through a rather large tome. "Oh! Strangers. How can I help you?"
[2025/09/21 15:05] Jassie: rather curious to see the tower
[2025/09/21 15:05] Mecha: /me politely follows behind them
[2025/09/21 15:05] Jassie: how big is the inside of the tower?
[2025/09/21 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's about twenty feet in diameter, various doorways and windows dotted about
[2025/09/21 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha?
[2025/09/21 15:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: or Sapphire?
[2025/09/21 15:08] Mecha: /me just looks around."The inkeeper sent us here to speak about some strange occurences?"
[2025/09/21 15:09] Sapphire: "Ah, we're traveling adventurers. We call ourselves the Brass Tacks. Been traveling around, and we were told that there's some weird things going on here that you'd be able to say more on."
[2025/09/21 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Irenicus: (trying to juggle the tome): "Strange occurances? Like that thing that fell from the sky?"
[2025/09/21 15:09] Jassie: " and he said you might have more information on what might be happenign and the such?" adds on
[2025/09/21 15:09] Jassie: "fell from the sky? When did this happen?"
[2025/09/21 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Irenicus: "Yes, that must be it. Something huge fell from the sky two nights ago, It was big, bigger than my tower, and it seemed to be surrounded in flames, and a few small things fell away from it."
[2025/09/21 15:10] Mecha: Thing that fell from the what? Beltadona pauuses."What? The Brass Tacks? I'm from the nearby temple"
[2025/09/21 15:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Irenicus: "Perhaps you could go investigate it for me? And the objects that fell from it. The Blacksmith found and hoarded them! If only I could get a little look at them."
[2025/09/21 15:12] Sapphire: "Where did this thing land?"
[2025/09/21 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Irenicus: "Hard to say, but I'm sure it's only a mile or two south. Maybe three."
[2025/09/21 15:14] Sapphire: ....how elderly does this wizard seem? a couple mile walk doesn't look beyond them, does it?
[2025/09/21 15:14] Jassie: "Right, we should be able to go check it out, it's definitely piqued my interest." then turns to Mecha and ponders, " you have a point though, not sure when we became the Brass Tacks, but hey, its a cute name hehe"
[2025/09/21 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Most wizards usuallu have five foot beards, white hear, and a stoop. They usually shuffle a few feet per hour. Sometimes they can even remember what day it is, or that kids were playing on their lawns.
[2025/09/21 15:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Irenicus nods to Jassie. "Thank you, thank you." As he flips through the tome, he pauses, looking closely, then says: “This passage wasn’t here before. It says: ‘If they enter the wa-...’” Then he goes blank, like they forgot mid-sentence. Long pause... "Uhm, what was I saying? Oh yes, if I could just look at those things. You want to go see the Blacksmith, he can tell you more, maybe. And probably go see the clerics too."
[2025/09/21 15:16] Jassie: (hey, I'm a wizard!)
[2025/09/21 15:17] Jassie: as that happens can I try to peek at the page before he flips it over, "sorry I jusrt want to see something for a moment."
[2025/09/21 15:17] Sapphire: "What about the water?"
[2025/09/21 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a lot of scribbles and notes about objects falling from the sky.
[2025/09/21 15:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Irenicus: "What? What water?"
[2025/09/21 15:18] Jassie: do I see anything about "If they enter the?"
[2025/09/21 15:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20, minus four penalty
[2025/09/21 15:18] D20: Jassie rolls 15
[2025/09/21 15:18] Jassie: not too bad
[2025/09/21 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: damn, so close
[2025/09/21 15:19] Sapphire: "You were saying something about a warning and then stopped."
[2025/09/21 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: No :P
[2025/09/21 15:19] Jassie: would read magic help?
[2025/09/21 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: you're going to cast a spell in another wizards home?
[2025/09/21 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Irenicus: "I did? I don't remember that. Why would I do that?"
[2025/09/21 15:19] Jassie: I have reading/writing int+1?
[2025/09/21 15:20] Jassie: anything that can help...
[2025/09/21 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: already rolled... adjusted for upside down and arcaneness of the text
[2025/09/21 15:20] Sapphire: "...to ensure we manage to find the fallen objects you wanted? Also, what should we expect them to look like?"
[2025/09/21 15:21] Jassie: Can I ask him if he's ok with me having a look at something in his book with some magic?
[2025/09/21 15:21] Jassie: or if my magic would even work
[2025/09/21 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Irenicus: "well I don't know, now, do I? That's why I want to look at them! What do they teach you kids at school these days, eh?"
[2025/09/21 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie: That wouldn't go down well. Wizards don't lend books out.
[2025/09/21 15:22] Jassie: I'm homeschooled, I smile
[2025/09/21 15:22] Jassie: fair enough
[2025/09/21 15:22] Mecha: Thank you sir. We will go see the blacksmith and then head to the temple
[2025/09/21 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Irenicus snaps the tome shut and struggles to shove it back on a shelf, nearly falling over backwards as he does so.
[2025/09/21 15:23] Sapphire: /me was also not schooled but will simply give a flat look to the wizard. "Anything else we should know before we talk to the blacksmith about what he found?"
[2025/09/21 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Irenicus: "Blacksmith is south of town, can't miss it, follow the banging."
[2025/09/21 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Irenicus: "He's a blacksmith! What can I tell you?"
[2025/09/21 15:26] Mecha: Then let us go there
[2025/09/21 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: To the blacksmith! And something odd... Mecha, roll a D4
[2025/09/21 15:26] D4: Mecha rolls 1
[2025/09/21 15:26] Jassie: yea, something aint right
[2025/09/21 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh my, you rolled that....
[2025/09/21 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you make your way to the blacksmithy, you pass a few villagers here and there, one selling apples, one smiling and standing outside a house. Another one catches your eye, he doffs his hat as you walk past, and, you notice he's leaving wet footprints after him. Well, that's not so odd... but it hasn't rained in several days...
[2025/09/21 15:28] Sapphire: what's he look like?
[2025/09/21 15:29] Mecha: /me nudges the others and points it out."that is unusual, correct?"
[2025/09/21 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: like a farm hand, complete with straw hat and straw stalk in his mouth, and a big boil on his neck.
[2025/09/21 15:30] Jassie: that is definitely unusual yea
[2025/09/21 15:30] Sapphire: "That he walked through a creek?"
[2025/09/21 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: yes! that must be it. Mystery solved!
[2025/09/21 15:31] Jassie: i mean, that is a possibility for sure, but seems weird
[2025/09/21 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...so where's the creek and why'd he walk through it...?
[2025/09/21 15:32] Mecha: *Since Beltadona lives in the area would she know where the nearest creek is?*
[2025/09/21 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20
[2025/09/21 15:32] D20: Mecha rolls 10
[2025/09/21 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: bang on the roll you need to pass INT check! To your certain knowledge, there just aren't any creeks nearby to walk through.
[2025/09/21 15:33] Sapphire: hmmmmm
[2025/09/21 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire is starting to piece this mystery together :)
[2025/09/21 15:34] Sapphire: with us being not actually from here....
[2025/09/21 15:34] Mecha: There isn't a creet anywhere near enought to remain soaking wet by the time you hit town."
[2025/09/21 15:35] Sapphire: "Could just ask," before moving to inquire, ideally somewhat politely
[2025/09/21 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: The man is some distance behind by this point, but hearing you trying to get his attention, he turns and looks at you. "Aye?"
[2025/09/21 15:37] Mecha: /me lets Sapphire take the reigns on this one.
[2025/09/21 15:37] Sapphire: "Oh, I was just curious where the nearest creek or pond was," they start off with.
[2025/09/21 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: The man looks at you. "There's a few, here and there... but why not get water from the village well, in the square?"
[2025/09/21 15:39] Jassie: can I try to just take a look at the boil, maybe without it seeming too consipcuous
[2025/09/21 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: roll d20 to make a stealth check
[2025/09/21 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: what am I even checking... Charisma?
[2025/09/21 15:40] Sapphire: "Our mage said that natural water was important for something they're trying to prepare, and the village well is too clean somehow? I don't really understand the details."
[2025/09/21 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Man: "You could try the mountain streams, coupla days thataway... or, idk, there's a spring on old Elias' farm. Not that he usually lets people tramp on his land."
[2025/09/21 15:41] D20: Jassie rolls 6
[2025/09/21 15:41] Jassie: woopps
[2025/09/21 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: You take a discreet look. It's big, shiney, and looks like there's a big ball of pus ready to erupt.
[2025/09/21 15:43] Jassie: oh boy, dont tempt fate too much
[2025/09/21 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: You asked :P
[2025/09/21 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now what?
[2025/09/21 15:45] Sapphire: "If we wanted to ask him kindly where would we head?"
[2025/09/21 15:45] Sapphire: /me knows this is probably a red herring as it were, but the info might come in handy eventually.
[2025/09/21 15:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me is a little unclear on the question
[2025/09/21 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Elias? Lives on his farm growing turnips, about three mile north."
[2025/09/21 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now what?
[2025/09/21 15:49] Sapphire: /me has no further questions at this time. We'd meant to make it to the blacksmith.
[2025/09/21 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Now for something truely strange
[2025/09/21 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: The smithy is closed and silent.
[2025/09/21 15:51] Jassie: oh boy...
[2025/09/21 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: indeed. Now what?
[2025/09/21 15:51] Jassie: i'm still gonna go peek inside
[2025/09/21 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: peek inside where?
[2025/09/21 15:52] Sapphire: Not even the apprentices?
[2025/09/21 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: there's apprentices?
[2025/09/21 15:52] Mecha: is there a smithing area outside. be good to check if things are hot
[2025/09/21 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: The smithing area is inside
[2025/09/21 15:53] Sapphire: rare is the smith who has no one working with them
[2025/09/21 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie?
[2025/09/21 15:55] Jassie: sorry, inside the smithy
[2025/09/21 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: The doors are securely closed and locked from the inside.
[2025/09/21 15:56] Jassie: is there windows i can look through?
[2025/09/21 15:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: There's one... shuttered and locked inside.
[2025/09/21 15:57] Mecha: We can knock again
[2025/09/21 15:58] Mecha: it worked at the wizards tower
[2025/09/21 15:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: you haven't knocked yet... but when you do, a gruff voice shouts out from inside: "Closed, can't ye see? Come back tomorrow."
[2025/09/21 15:58] Sapphire: "We had some questions about the things that fell."
[2025/09/21 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Shouted voice: "Ye deaf? Come back tomorra!"
[2025/09/21 16:00] Jassie: sigh
[2025/09/21 16:01] Sapphire: What time of day is it?
[2025/09/21 16:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roughly midday. You got hours yet before sunset
[2025/09/21 16:01] Mecha: Beltadona."UNtil tomorrow then sir." Before looking at the others. "We can still visit the temple of Iallanis. I need to return anyway."
[2025/09/21 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, to the temple?
[2025/09/21 16:03] Sapphire: "Sure, maybe the priest has something to add here."
[2025/09/21 16:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: The village temple is a humble yet sacred structure nestled at the heart of the community, its stone walls weathered by time and devotion. Inside, simple altars are adorned with candles, offerings, and symbols of local deities and spirits, serving as focal points for prayer and rituals. The temple features a small bell tower, with prayer flags fluttering in the breeze, inviting villagers to gather.
[2025/09/21 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: The head cleric, Hoffman is deep in contemplation and prayer as you all enter. "My children, what may I do for you?"
[2025/09/21 16:06] Sapphire: "A few things. WE're the adventuring group called the Brass Tacks," they start, "And we'd noticed at least two strange things going on in this town. We were hoping you could give your thoughts on what's been going on with the town lately?"
[2025/09/21 16:06] Jassie: can we continue this soon? I need to go also, or gimmet an update soon dear!
[2025/09/21 16:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Cleric Hoffman: "Demons! It's demons, for sure!"
[2025/09/21 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: And exactly what it is that convinces Hoffman that it's demons, will have to wait until next week!
[2025/09/21 16:07] Mecha: Cleric Hoffman, I bring glad tidings from the temple oh Iallanis.. Oh, we are skipping pleasantries."
[2025/09/21 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Meanwhile, the card Nipsy gave Mecha, it just disappears, dragged off by three blind mice.
[2025/09/21 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: I hope you're having fun with this and are taking appropriate notes... are -you- in for a surprise next week ;)
[2025/09/21 16:09] Mecha: indeed, much fun
[2025/09/21 16:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Logs are at the usual site... and... see y'all next week... mwah hah ha!
[2025/09/21 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: laters, y'all...
