Session Six: The Return of the Old Ones...?
[2024/04/02 16:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: stream is on: http://81.133.27.194:8000 - you can comment on tracks, I may even listen
[2024/04/02 16:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me opens up notecards and things
[2024/04/02 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: As I recall it - we'd just dealt with the city guards after the Murderhobo incident and now we look for shops and vendors?
[2024/04/02 16:17] Alicia Frakture: Yep
[2024/04/02 16:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: and with that recap out of the way... Grrreeeeeeetings, Adventurers, other players get intrigue and carefully crafted narratives... you get whatever I can mumble out as I pull it outta my head
[2024/04/02 16:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: So, intentions?
[2024/04/02 16:20] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Good question
[2024/04/02 16:21] Alicia Frakture: Still looking for the shop. Right now even a magic shop would be good
[2024/04/02 16:21] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: We wanted to get... sounds like healing potions aren't really going to be in our price range
[2024/04/02 16:21] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Did we ask Wellmeat about the Murderhobo line?
[2024/04/02 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: All around you, the city life goes on... passers by... street vendors hawking their wares, the drone of conversation, the steady clank... clank... clank... clank... of a blacksmith hammer hitting an anvil
[2024/04/02 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Healing potions are rare and expensive. And, no, you didn't.
[2024/04/02 16:22] Alicia Frakture: Leesha is going to stop someone."Excuse me, can you point me to the nearest magic and/ or potions shop?
[2024/04/02 16:24] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben will give Leesha a try ot two to get a decent lead before suggesting checking back in with Mister Wellmeat. ...also, where's a place to wash and clean up in here?
[2024/04/02 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: The man blinks, doubletaking a little, clearly unused to anything other than humans. "Magic? Potions? I guess you tried Old Mother Murderhobo. Hmm. Not sure I can help you friend... Oh, there IS an alchemist out on Short Street. Or maybe a temple might help?"
[2024/04/02 16:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: well, there's a river, a moat about the city, and of course the sea as free options, or, back to "base"
[2024/04/02 16:25] Alicia Frakture: We're new to town, can you point us to Short street?"
[2024/04/02 16:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: Citizen: "You can find Short Street easily. It's the longest street in the city, leads from the square to the city gates. It's that one, just there."
[2024/04/02 16:27] Alicia Frakture: /me follows where he is pointing."Thank you very much." as she begins to walk in that directions."Wow things are so much easier when I'm not grouchy all the time."
[2024/04/02 16:28] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben gives no comment, lest she be called out
[2024/04/02 16:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana follows, without comment. All the while the blacksmith keeps hammering that anvil... clank... clank.. clank-clank... clank... clank... clank-clank...
[2024/04/02 16:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: What's Dhalia doing?
[2024/04/02 16:29] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): following staying very close still looking at everything they pass in the large human city
[2024/04/02 16:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: The alchemists' is fairly easy to find. The big sign outside is a clue, and the shop window full of alembics with coloured liquids is likewise a clue.
[2024/04/02 16:31] Alicia Frakture: Leesha is heading in
[2024/04/02 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: The shop is surprisingly brightly lit inside, then again there's a lot of burners, candles and glowing liquids. The noise of the city is reduced inside, the faint clank-clank... clank... clank.. clank-clank... clank... clank... can only just be heard
[2024/04/02 16:33] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben follows, looking around, then pausing. Does that clank -really- sound like a blacksmith hammer... or is it too regular?
[2024/04/02 16:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: A stooped over elderly man wanders out, blinking myopically over a pair of thick rimmed spectacles. "Yers...? How may I help you...?"
[2024/04/02 16:35] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me tries to ignore the clanking sound, flying along behind Leesha and Debben into the shop , being very careful as she explores and takes in the look of and possible function of the many items in the place
[2024/04/02 16:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: The various equipment is clearly for the pulverization, dissolution, boiling, evaporation, and crystalization of various sundry substances.
[2024/04/02 16:36] Alicia Frakture: makes a not to check out that blacksmith before speaking."INdeed we are looking for potions before we head out into the world. Any suggestions? Also do you know someone who can appraise an item or two?
[2024/04/02 16:37] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben will wave to Leesha. "Her first, I might look around for some basic equipment."
[2024/04/02 16:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old man: "Potions! Hmm. Not really my ken, potions... I do make some, now and again, but they do not come cheap. And appraise what items, friend?"
[2024/04/02 16:39] Alicia Frakture: pulls her boots of ??? from her bag and shows them as well as the mushroom and swirly glass orb
[2024/04/02 16:40] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me spoke up from behind them, "ask him if he has any bottles , just empty small potion bottles or something like"
[2024/04/02 16:40] Alicia Frakture: That too
[2024/04/02 16:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: "Hmmm... boots... maybe a cobbler...? and the mushroom.. may I see? Oh, and that glass orb."
[2024/04/02 16:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: peers about. "....who...? was that?"
[2024/04/02 16:42] Alicia Frakture: *Can't derail the game.. can't derail the game.*
[2024/04/02 16:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: *hurr?*
[2024/04/02 16:43] Alicia Frakture: Leesha looks at him surprised."You hear it too? Debben I told you the cleric couldn't get rid of the voices."
[2024/04/02 16:44] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "That only works when it's ghosts, Leesha."
[2024/04/02 16:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: The old man turns his attention back to the mushroom. It's a bit manky now, but he pokes it, examines it, takes a sniff and a cautious lick... "...yes, yes... I think... I think this is a mild curative..."
[2024/04/02 16:45] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me stays quiet floating out of sight behind them
[2024/04/02 16:46] Alicia Frakture: Like a health potion mushroom?
[2024/04/02 16:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: The old man examine the glass orb, shaking it and watching it closely, then checks the orb itself. "Oooh. I don't like the look of this... blood from a lesser demon, I think. I should get rid of it if I were you. I'll give you fifty gold for it, but I'm taking a bit of a chance."
[2024/04/02 16:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old man: "Yes... yes... like a mushroom health potion, if you will."
[2024/04/02 16:47] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben shrugs, lacking a particular use for demon blood.
[2024/04/02 16:47] Alicia Frakture: How much are healing potions?
[2024/04/02 16:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old man: "Usually they'd start at a thousand gold."
[2024/04/02 16:48] Alicia Frakture: Leesha feels her jaw drop.
[2024/04/02 16:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: "I, uh... did say... they are expensive..."
[2024/04/02 16:49] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me whispers "they must be very rare in this city to cost so much. Humans must be very careful all the time, to never get injuries"
[2024/04/02 16:49] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "how much healing do you get out of them?"
[2024/04/02 16:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: The old man frowns, looking from Debben to Leesha to Katana. "Depends on the efficiency of the potion, most would usually restore a badly wounded person."
[2024/04/02 16:51] Alicia Frakture: True, very true. You wouldn't happen to know any other options I might have?
[2024/04/02 16:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: "Hmm.. well I usually deal in powders and mixtures... you could try a temple? Or perhaps the apothecary might have curatives."
[2024/04/02 16:53] Alicia Frakture: powders and Mixtures? what kind? also how much for a couple small empty bottles or vials?
[2024/04/02 16:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: "Various alchemical powders and mixtures, for various purposes. Hmmm... vials, I have a few, say a silver for five."
[2024/04/02 16:55] Alicia Frakture: Deal." Leesha hands over a silver.
[2024/04/02 16:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Enjoy the empty vials! (Now on sheet, minus 1sp)
[2024/04/02 16:56] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben looks around for things like a mortar and pestle. "Any alchemical reagents you're usually on the lookout for?"
[2024/04/02 16:56] Alicia Frakture: Leesha looks to the others."So, sell the orb?"
[2024/04/02 16:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: "Many, but most are taken care of by various suppliers."
[2024/04/02 16:58] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me "sell it! we need money for big people things, for you both", she spoke up flitting around carefree behind them a soft trail following her as always of glitterry dust, she was happy they had the vials now.
[2024/04/02 16:58] Alicia Frakture: Okay, you said 50 Gold for it? you got a deal
[2024/04/02 16:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: "What is.. Ah! A pixie! I've not seen one in many years! And not in a city... why are you here, little one?"
[2024/04/02 17:00] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me stays behind her companions still flying around, "I'm with them and we are travelling. Very nice to meet you, mister alchemist person!"
[2024/04/02 17:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old man: "Mmm. In my younger days - yes, I was young once! - I used to adventure far and wide. I met a few of the little forest folk. I guess we never met?"
[2024/04/02 17:03] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: The alchemist is human?
[2024/04/02 17:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Most are in a human city, yes
[2024/04/02 17:05] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me "I haven't met many humans, but so far they seem not so bad. Have other fae come to this city ?"
[2024/04/02 17:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: "Fay, in the city? Never, whatever for."
[2024/04/02 17:06] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Traveling through, as it were."
[2024/04/02 17:06] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me she giggled then and went back to flying and focusing on her companions
[2024/04/02 17:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: "Hmms" and then steps into a back room. There's some bumping and banging.
[2024/04/02 17:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: The old man returns with 50 gold coins and a small thimble, with a thick paste in it. "The gold, for the orb - and a little something extra for the pixie. I seem to recall fay like honey?"
[2024/04/02 17:09] Alicia Frakture: leesha hands over the orb and collects the gold, handing the honey to her friend
[2024/04/02 17:10] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me smiles and eagerly takes the honey , "very kind of you mister alchemist"
[2024/04/02 17:10] Sonja Bikergrrl: The old man mumbles and mutters over the orb, places it carefully in a box
[2024/04/02 17:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Nobody wanting any power/mixtures?
[2024/04/02 17:11] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben continues to look around, collecting a small mortar and pestle. "how much for this?" She also wants a boiling vessel, but realizes a humble tea kettle is likely more suitable for the amount of traveling they do.
[2024/04/02 17:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: powder, even.
[2024/04/02 17:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: "A mortar and pestle? A silver should cover that."
[2024/04/02 17:13] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: She nods, pays a suitable silver. "Thanks."
[2024/04/02 17:13] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: She's likely to end up using it more for cooking than alchemy, but so it goes
[2024/04/02 17:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: lose 1sp, gain mortar & pestle
[2024/04/02 17:14] Alicia Frakture: I don't know. potions are what I thought about. there wouldn't happen to be like healing powders or something. I am afraid I am not familiar with what types of powders exist
[2024/04/02 17:15] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: "Sadly no, these too would be at least s expensive."
[2024/04/02 17:17] Alicia Frakture: Maybe a powder to enhance strength or something?
[2024/04/02 17:17] Alicia Frakture: Or some tea,
[2024/04/02 17:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Old Man: "hmm... I'm not sure you're in the right shop... that's more temples and apothecaries."
[2024/04/02 17:17] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben suspects they may be starting to annoy the man, and continues looking around for anything that seems interestingly on offer.
[2024/04/02 17:19] Alicia Frakture: Does anything have tags so Leesdha can see what they are?
[2024/04/02 17:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Getting late, we may leave it there tonight!
[2024/04/02 17:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Generally, if you got to ask, chances are you either can't afford it, or should know what it is!
[2024/04/02 17:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Getting very sleepy and the clock change has upset my usual rythmns
