[2025/11/16 14:20] Sapphire: she drw the Lovers tarot?
[2025/11/16 14:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, time to say... GGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTIIINGGSSSS, Adventurers! Other players get treasure chests and glory, you get the mysterious artifact that unlocks the door.
[2025/11/16 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Welcome to the campaign "The Way of All Flesh."
[2025/11/16 14:21] Joe: enticing title
[2025/11/16 14:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: It is six months since the wierd events that took place at Sleepy Hollow. No one is quite sure -exactly- what happened, certainly there was a riot and a barn was burnt down, and some villagers died, but little more than that is known, and since the area is now a shunned forbidden zone, maybe that is all that will ever be known. That hideous monsters and wierd transformations were involved are without a doubt, but what of the rumours of demons from beyond the stars and entities descending from the heavens? Then again, that could well be quite likely.
[2025/11/16 14:21] Jassie: lol
[2025/11/16 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: But today, you have a more pressing concern. A tribe of goblins is making a nuisance of itself, and adventurers are required to deal with this threat. Joe, Sapphire, Jassie, your characters are in the tavern near the village of Ashford.
[2025/11/16 14:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire... start us off :)
[2025/11/16 14:23] Sapphire: (( one moment... typing! ))
[2025/11/16 14:23] Jassie: (take yuour time dear)
[2025/11/16 14:26] Sapphire: Gwennifer of Flame stands at the center of the tavern, backlit by the hearthfire of the building, her armor polished and ash-black hair frizzing down to her shoulders. "These goblins have made themselves known, and teh gods of Light assure us that no being is beyond redemption. But they are pressured from outside to steal and riade, for lack of better options. I propose a diplomatic mission to them, and request the aid of all who would assist. Both to negotiate, and to defend from their scouts and raiders who will not at first trust our benevolent intentions.'
[2025/11/16 14:27] Sapphire: *the
[2025/11/16 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: The barkeeper looks up and hiccups. "I gotta stop dippin' into me own ale. Them goblins are molesting good folk with their hootin' and lootin'! We've had livestock stolen, ya know!"
[2025/11/16 14:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie
[2025/11/16 14:31] Jassie: /me Lyranas takes a sip of her wine before laying it on the table and says in her normal high society sort of accent "yes.. goblins, not exactly the most interesting of monster, but I'm sure, this mission of sorts would attract lots of interesting subj.... cough cough... friends and allies to this conflict"
[2025/11/16 14:31] Jassie: (shit not finished)
[2025/11/16 14:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: *GIGGLES*
[2025/11/16 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe is next.
[2025/11/16 14:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: After Jassie completes, to be clear :)
[2025/11/16 14:34] Jassie: she says as she gaunt, pale face lays under the top hat of sorts, her silvery blond hair tied in a ponytail under it, and the maroon velvety suit complete with a black tie, before she takes another sip of her wine, staying seated while looking up at the large paladin lady
[2025/11/16 14:34] Jassie: (sorry lol)
[2025/11/16 14:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe!
[2025/11/16 14:34] Joe: Joe drinks his cup of water and sneers at mention of Goblins. "disgusting, chaotic creatures."
[2025/11/16 14:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Hear hear. Someone should sort them out."
[2025/11/16 14:35] Sapphire: ( What's Joe look like? )
[2025/11/16 14:37] Joe: wearing good cloth cloak, Surcoat over Chainmail armour, the clothes are new and clean but beneath that he is grizzled and cynical for his young years
[2025/11/16 14:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2025/11/16 14:38] Joe: The off-white colours of his order, as-yet-undefined something-somthing-winter-clean-as-snow-theme
[2025/11/16 14:38] Sapphire: ( ...skipping Mecha? )
[2025/11/16 14:39] Mecha: *Yes, for reasons*
[2025/11/16 14:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: As indicated: Joe, Sapphire, Jassie are here
[2025/11/16 14:40] Sapphire: Gwennifer looks to the velvet noble and the fellow knight. "I hope that peace can be reached, and know that it is worth trying for, even if the path is difficult."
[2025/11/16 14:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Sod peace, them varmits is stealing our livestock!"
[2025/11/16 14:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie is next?
[2025/11/16 14:42] Jassie: takes a puff of her long pipe, "well you 2 are the big strong folk aren't you." she says with a smile, "I'm sure you 2 can figure out what to do with this, i'm just interested in well... research hehehe." she giggles to herself. "Although helping these unfortunate commoners may not be such a bad thing either." she says with a drawl as she takes another puff
[2025/11/16 14:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe?
[2025/11/16 14:47] Joe: Peace can be made by ridding the lands of vermin. I will be proud to slay Goblins for thee.
[2025/11/16 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: The barkeeper approves and slurps down the rest of his ale and hiccups. "Now yer talkin'!"
[2025/11/16 14:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire! You want to ask a bit more about the job?
[2025/11/16 14:49] Sapphire: Gwennifer looks tot eh barkeeper. "Is it not the theft and raiding that draws for ire? If those stop, what use do you have to enjoy the spilling of blood?"
[2025/11/16 14:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "It's not just the lootin', tootin', hootin', and, probably, rootin', but they don't just steal our livestock, they talk of some kind of dragon with them."
[2025/11/16 14:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Jassie?
[2025/11/16 14:55] Jassie: Lyranas just sips her wine and takes a puff of her pipe, keeping quiet for now and observing the exchange before her. Although at the mention of the word "dragon", her pointed ears perk up a little, "Now we're talking somewhat, although at this point I may be a little i'll equipped to deal with such a subject." she says out loud almost to herself, as she takes out her spellbook, a dark blue covered tome, with what looks suspiciously like teeth around the edges of the tome and looks through it. "Yes unfortunately it seems like I may definitely be ill equipped for a dragon at this point if it turns up,"
[2025/11/16 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper leans closer over the bar. "Fifty gold in it for whoever can sort them varmits out."
[2025/11/16 14:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe?
[2025/11/16 14:57] Joe: "Fifty for the goblins, but whats this about a dragon? Dealing with that will cost a lot more. More tricky, see, dragons. How big is it?"
[2025/11/16 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "I 'unno. No one knows. No one seen it."
[2025/11/16 14:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire?
[2025/11/16 14:59] Joe: "Cant be that big, then."
[2025/11/16 14:59] Sapphire: "I fear not the firey breath. And your tithe of gold to the Order of Hearthflame will be most welcome when a peace accord is reached," She assures.
[2025/11/16 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "'tis said they're at the Ashford Caves. It's but an hours' march east."
[2025/11/16 15:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: So... heading out and moving on?
[2025/11/16 15:02] Jassie: "i guess work has to be done for the common folk at times" finishes the rest of her wine, while getting up and dusting herself off
[2025/11/16 15:02] Sapphire: "Are there no other able bodies with a couragous heart to assist their own town?"
[2025/11/16 15:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe, Sapphire, moving on?
[2025/11/16 15:02] Jassie: "also i do really need some funds in future." she chuckles to herself
[2025/11/16 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "If there were any fightin' men, they'd have that fifty gold already."
[2025/11/16 15:03] Joe: yes moving on
[2025/11/16 15:03] Sapphire: Gwennifer will head out once it becomes clear the tavern is inhabited by layabouts and cowards.
[2025/11/16 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: As you leave the tavern.... Jassie! You notice the innkeepers' cat lounging by the door.
[2025/11/16 15:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: http://81.133.27.194/QuantumKittens/D&Dcats/simba-bonushealing.html
[2025/11/16 15:03] Jassie: /me gives the barkeep a bow while holding her hat
[2025/11/16 15:04] Jassie: /me pats its head and tickles its chin
[2025/11/16 15:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: The trail to the Ashford Caves is easy to follow; just head east, through the countryside to the hills
[2025/11/16 15:04] Second Life: Joe gave you Dragon!.
[2025/11/16 15:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: who's walking in front?
[2025/11/16 15:06] Sapphire: Gwennifer, fearlessly. "So. What shall i call you two, noble of velvet and soldier of winter?"
[2025/11/16 15:06] Sapphire: "I am myself, Gwennifer of Flame."
[2025/11/16 15:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Gwennifer can make a Perception check and her player can roll a D20
[2025/11/16 15:06] D20: Sapphire rolls 16
[2025/11/16 15:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: nothing but the open road ahead of you.
[2025/11/16 15:08] Jassie: giggles a little at the introduction, as she gives a quick bow, "Lyranas af' Vargoth of the Vargoth Merchantile family although that might be unnecessary to say, but just Lyranas is fine oh dear amazing, great paladin" says rather dramatically.
[2025/11/16 15:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: D20, Jassie - perception check
[2025/11/16 15:09] Joe: "Greetings, Lyranas and Gwennifer. I am Joe, Squire of the Order of WinterShard."
[2025/11/16 15:09] D20: Jassie rolls 17
[2025/11/16 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Just the open road....
[2025/11/16 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe! Perception check - D20
[2025/11/16 15:10] D20: Joe rolls 4
[2025/11/16 15:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: You spot something! It's in the bushes, a little way ahead.
[2025/11/16 15:11] Joe: "There!" he points. "Something moving."
[2025/11/16 15:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire, Jassie?
[2025/11/16 15:13] Sapphire: She slows down, looking back to check where he's pointing, then following the indication. She pulls her helmet on at this point, a shiny pointed helm with her hair sticking out the bottom
[2025/11/16 15:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: looks like... a dog....
[2025/11/16 15:14] Jassie: /me looks at the moving bushes, with a smile, "she pulls out the dagger, but still staying behind, hoping its something exotic, before looking extremely disappointed
[2025/11/16 15:14] Mecha: A voice appears from behind them..."So, what are we looking at?"
[2025/11/16 15:15] Sapphire: "It would appear to be a dog of some sort. a terrier, perhaps?
[2025/11/16 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's bigger than a terrier
[2025/11/16 15:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Joe?
[2025/11/16 15:16] Jassie: /me turns around to look at who's talking and how they managed to get behind so easily.
[2025/11/16 15:16] Jassie: sorry
[2025/11/16 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: hate it when that happens
[2025/11/16 15:20] Joe: I walk toward the dog, guarded but friendly
[2025/11/16 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's a slightly weathered, but alert, Great Dane.
[2025/11/16 15:21] Joe: I offer it food frm my pack
[2025/11/16 15:21] Joe: backpack
[2025/11/16 15:21] Mecha: To those who turn and look there is a Kobold behind them, whose color scheme is that of neopolitan ice cream. She has a blade on each hand, tied to her wrist."I wouldn't do that." She says to Joe
[2025/11/16 15:22] Sapphire: "Why not? Showing kindness to a creature is a great virtue."
[2025/11/16 15:22] Joe: Prefering to trust a dog than a Kobold, Joe does it anyway
[2025/11/16 15:23] Mecha: It's gonna give him gas." She shakes her head." Feeding strange animals. You're all weird I'm gonan go kill some goblins now... Fluffles Come on!"
[2025/11/16 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Great Dane rises and trots to Mecha
[2025/11/16 15:24] Jassie: /me looks at the kobold and says under her breath, "fascinating...." before bending down to start checking out the kobold's muscular structure by squeezing lightly on her legs, the blades on her arms.
[2025/11/16 15:24] Sapphire: "Why do you feel compelled to slay goblins?"
[2025/11/16 15:26] Mecha: Kobold looks at them."Cause thye may know things and if they're gonna give me grief I'm gonna fix that." Before looking at the thing squeezing."HEY! No, bad touch..Weirdos." before wlaking towards the Goblin camp.
[2025/11/16 15:27] Jassie: "very... fascinating, a kobold that's intelligent, more so than usual, and very human like in many features... extremely fascinating...." is just talking and mumbling to herself now
[2025/11/16 15:27] Joe: "Goblins that way? Hey do you know anything about a dragon?"
[2025/11/16 15:28] Sapphire: "....surely I can't be the only one who desires peace."
[2025/11/16 15:28] Mecha: Aaaaand that stops her."What do you know about a dragon?" Her silly demeanor slowly turning more serious.
[2025/11/16 15:32] Jassie: /me looks at Gwen(short form) "don't worry m'lady." she says with a smile, " before turning to the kobold, "oh nothing much little one, just that there may be one leading the goblins possibly." giggles
[2025/11/16 15:33] Sapphire: Gwen considers this. "Indeed, yet another reason to... find an amicable solution early. A dragon who considers the goblins their horde will not take kindly on us slaying them."
[2025/11/16 15:34] Mecha: Without a word she climbs on the dog."Lets go Fluffles. Gonna carve them up like lunch meat. Come if you want, but get in my way..." Before she begins to slowly ride away.
[2025/11/16 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Fluffles the Great Dane trots forwards.
[2025/11/16 15:35] Jassie: "that is an extremely interesting kobold, I'm truly compelled to follow if just for the sake of studying her more.. hehehe"
[2025/11/16 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Following... or going to let the dog-mounted kobold get there first?
[2025/11/16 15:36] Sapphire: "What should we call you, young dog-rider?"
[2025/11/16 15:37] Jassie: thinks to herself, "I wonder if she'll be ok with me just having a look inside her," says as she fingers the folded up bag she has on her belt. "but then again, noone really likes it when I do that." says this all to herself
[2025/11/16 15:37] Joe: (OoC for clarification, is the Kobold an early edition D&D "small, dog-like, speaking in a language of yips and barks" type of kobold' or a later edition d&d 'small reptilian species' ?)
[2025/11/16 15:38] Mecha: I am called by many things. No, Hey you, Stop that. Help please, NOT MY FACE and gurgle.. BUt you can call me Neopti
[2025/11/16 15:38] Mecha: *Picture to come*
[2025/11/16 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: More small reptilian, able to speak heavily accented Common
[2025/11/16 15:38] Joe: (ty)
[2025/11/16 15:40] Second Life: Mecha gave you NEopti.
[2025/11/16 15:41] Jassie: snaps out of her daydreaming as the kobold introduces herself before she once more gives a bow while holding the top hat, " Lyranas af Vargoth at your service, just a quick question, would you be ok with me taking a look inside you? maybe some blood or something?" says with a genuine interested smile, although it almost appears creepy with the pale, gaunt face
[2025/11/16 15:42] Mecha: What? No! Goblins! Let's go!
[2025/11/16 15:43] Jassie: sighs to herself, "Ah well, was worth a try."
[2025/11/16 15:43] Sapphire: "As long as we at least ask them to negotiate first."
[2025/11/16 15:43] Sapphire: ( OOc what town are we representing? )
[2025/11/16 15:44] Jassie: (none for me)
[2025/11/16 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ashford. Just east of Sleepy Hollow
[2025/11/16 15:44] Jassie: (i just travel about)
[2025/11/16 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, seems we have the party together... last round of comments from all?
[2025/11/16 15:48] Mecha: Kill the Goblins! Then I'll make sandwiches!
[2025/11/16 15:48] Joe: kill the goblins!
[2025/11/16 15:48] Sapphire: "Make peace! or at least offer it." She sighs. "I suppose you all wish to be the threat backing up the message of cooperation."
[2025/11/16 15:49] Jassie: "well, I guess there's goblin bodies to study." shrugs to herself
[2025/11/16 15:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: And that is where we'll leave it today; next week, you'll face the goblins... and maybe, find out about this dragon of theirs...
[2025/11/16 15:51] Jassie: oh lol
[2025/11/16 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: What could possibly go right :S
[2025/11/16 15:51] Joe: heh. Thanks Sonja
[2025/11/16 15:52] Mecha: Good game so far :)
[2025/11/16 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: wait until stuff starts to happen ;)
[2025/11/16 15:53] Jassie: i love all this gung hu, and i'm just like ah well
[2025/11/16 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: don't forget your kitty card, you may need it
[2025/11/16 15:53] Joe: we forgot to ask if thats 50gp per adventurer, per goblin, I suspect the BarKeep is going to try to short change us
[2025/11/16 15:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Fifty gold in it for whoever - implies per party, not individual
[2025/11/16 15:54] Joe: thought so
[2025/11/16 15:54] Jassie: yup
[2025/11/16 15:55] Jassie: he didnt say 50 per
[2025/11/16 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: right... gotta go, work tomorrow... see you all next wee, same time, same TPK ;D
[2025/11/16 15:55] Joe: night folks
[2025/11/16 15:55] Sapphire: night night
