Session Six: The Return of the Old Ones...?
[2024/05/20 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Alicia Frakture was invited to the conversation.
[2024/05/20 15:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: MidnightMinion Cyberstar was invited to the conversation.
[2024/05/20 15:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dina....?
[2024/05/20 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me starts streaming and will take just five minutes...
[2024/05/20 15:25] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: link?
[2024/05/20 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: http://81.133.27.194:8000
[2024/05/20 15:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's also on the main page of Iron Rose I think
[2024/05/20 15:28] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: `blue cube?
[2024/05/20 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: I take it we're all up to sling dice about?
[2024/05/20 15:29] Alicia Frakture: /me nods
[2024/05/20 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Blue cube was an experiment of mine for "DM is still typing stuff" and going green for "DM awaiting your input now"
[2024/05/20 15:29] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: does it toggle when clicked?
[2024/05/20 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: No, I got to do it manually
[2024/05/20 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: for now
[2024/05/20 15:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: think it's an idea?
[2024/05/20 15:30] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: is a decent setup I suspect
[2024/05/20 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me queues something else....
[2024/05/20 15:32] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: sounds windy
[2024/05/20 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: and that just leaves it to me to say... GGGGGGgggggggrrrrreeetings, Adventurers! Other players get to roll dice, you get to role play roll play.
[2024/05/20 15:32] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: roll play in the hay ?
[2024/05/20 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Last I recall you're in the Bargewright Inn, hearing of a mystery under the sewers to investigate for potential loot
[2024/05/20 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Since it is summer time, hay time might be thing again, yes
[2024/05/20 15:34] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Oh yeah, we'd also been curious about how the inn got the name
[2024/05/20 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's an inn by the docks.
[2024/05/20 15:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: No doubt there are many wrighters of barges.
[2024/05/20 15:35] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: /me is mildly suspicious of this claim
[2024/05/20 15:36] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: So yeah, the guy was telling me about there being some sort of monster in the sewers, but the sewers are gross and the loot is only rumored
[2024/05/20 15:36] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: not like there's a bounty on the beasty or anything
[2024/05/20 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Yep. Rumoured, and monster, if any, unknown, but, two thieves did die horrible deaths
[2024/05/20 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: also, if I recall right, you still got un-ID'd gear
[2024/05/20 15:38] Alicia Frakture: Do we really want to deal with that?
[2024/05/20 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: with what? the thing, or the un-ID'd stuff?
[2024/05/20 15:39] Alicia Frakture: The thing
[2024/05/20 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: who you asking?
[2024/05/20 15:39] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: dying horrible deaths is not on my itinerary today, perhaps the monster can make an appointment for next month
[2024/05/20 15:39] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: though IDing some of the weirder spooky weapons we got might be smart.
[2024/05/20 15:40] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: oh yeah, I need to study the blast wand too, see if I can find a way to operate it.
[2024/05/20 15:40] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: the ones we got told weren't actually magical despite drawing blood from a distance
[2024/05/20 15:40] Alicia Frakture: Agreed, let some other group of adventurers deal with it
[2024/05/20 15:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: ...you're passing up an adventure...?
[2024/05/20 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: oh-kay....
[2024/05/20 15:42] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: part of being smart adventurers is focusing on the types of adventure where we have a comparative advantage
[2024/05/20 15:42] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: which is....hmmmm. Leesha, Dhalia, what types of adventure do you have a comparative advantage with?
[2024/05/20 15:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: un ID-d things: (Mecha) splint mail, crystal, ring... (Sapphire) Hammer
[2024/05/20 15:42] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: the hammer is likely magical? Interesting
[2024/05/20 15:42] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: was 100 gp per ident spell?
[2024/05/20 15:43] Alicia Frakture: plus still needing a temple run for all of us
[2024/05/20 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'd have said adventuring is a way to gain required stuff for further adventures
[2024/05/20 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: also, no, just you haven't ID'd it
[2024/05/20 15:43] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: can i lead off with an Appraise attempt?
[2024/05/20 15:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Appraise: works on jewelry
[2024/05/20 15:44] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: the ring and crystal then?
[2024/05/20 15:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: The ring is interesting... it's made of three braided leather strips.
[2024/05/20 15:46] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: three distinct strips? same leather, or one long strip mobius'd together?
[2024/05/20 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: As for the crystal, that looks like a crude red crystal of some sort.
[2024/05/20 15:47] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: crudely cut, or raw and uncut?
[2024/05/20 15:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Without picking it apart, you aren't too sure, but it looks like three strips braided
[2024/05/20 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Looks like any red crystal picked up from a place where crystals might be, if they're red
[2024/05/20 15:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's big, though, it will be held, just about, in your fist
[2024/05/20 15:49] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: so a naturally occuring chunk of crystal then, not a carved Gem
[2024/05/20 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: That seems to be the case
[2024/05/20 15:50] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me looks over the crystal as its being spoken about
[2024/05/20 15:50] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: so other than checking it for inherent magic, it'd be.... can I tell what -type- of crystal? like a ruby or some sort of common stone like a peridot?
[2024/05/20 15:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: Probably not a gemstone, although if it is, it's the biggest gemstone you've seen.
[2024/05/20 15:55] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: which would make it potentially quite valuable but mainly to a jeweler who could refine it
[2024/05/20 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Most of the price of a gem comes from the cutting of it, yes
[2024/05/20 15:57] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: /me ponders
[2024/05/20 15:58] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: So last time we had stuff ID'd at the temple....
[2024/05/20 15:58] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: *checks current finances*
[2024/05/20 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: you got a credit note for 1,200 and 125 in actual coin
[2024/05/20 15:59] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: who's the credit note registered with?
[2024/05/20 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mecha has 89 gold
[2024/05/20 15:59] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dahlia
[2024/05/20 15:59] Alicia Frakture: The shop owner in exchange for the pixie dust
[2024/05/20 16:00] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ah, so one Dahlia has rather than I
[2024/05/20 16:00] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: the ring seems.... most likely to be something we can actually use, with the crystal a close second
[2024/05/20 16:01] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: is there a trading house for magic items in the town, or all the trade is person to person / via fixers?
[2024/05/20 16:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: Magic items/scrolls/potions are incredibly rarely traded; usually you have to know someone with an interest in such things
[2024/05/20 16:03] Alicia Frakture: ... we do
[2024/05/20 16:04] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: oh yeah, we're staying in his house
[2024/05/20 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... what's the plan...?
[2024/05/20 16:05] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ah, plans, the bane of our party.
[2024/05/20 16:06] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: So we can smoothly afford to get one item ID'd, two if we're willing to drop to very low amounts of petty cash. I vote Ring is priority one.
[2024/05/20 16:06] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Splint mail isn't something any of us use, so it's most valuable trading with Wellmeet for something else from his supplies (though we'd have to check if he's interested in it)
[2024/05/20 16:07] Alicia Frakture: /me slams her fist on the table, and then pauses."Sorry, it just seems everytime we try to do something this town throws another hurdle. Let's hit the temples and look around. if the invisible fruit seller finally appears throw them in the ocean adn enjoy the rest of the day.
[2024/05/20 16:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dahlia?
[2024/05/20 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Meanwhile, ratty guy: "So... what about that thing down under the sewers? There's bound to be something down there...?"
[2024/05/20 16:08] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): going to the temples sounds like a good idea
[2024/05/20 16:10] Alicia Frakture: No can do on the sewer beastie. This is a huge city. are you gonna look at us and say there are not more adventurers out there. Probably some strong enough to make short work of it, because that aint us."
[2024/05/20 16:10] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Dying knee deep in waste sounds like it'd suck rather a lot."
[2024/05/20 16:11] Sonja Bikergrrl: Ratty guy blinks, and shakes his head. "Guess others'll get the riches..." he slinks off, looking for another table to pas on his story
[2024/05/20 16:11] Alicia Frakture: *Chuckle. The only time we walk away from an adventure is when we know our limitations.*
[2024/05/20 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: so, looking for a temple now... which one, what for?
[2024/05/20 16:12] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: the last one we got stuff Id'd at
[2024/05/20 16:13] Alicia Frakture: ID'ing the ring, and hopefully stumbling across one that works well for Leesha
[2024/05/20 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: you remember you got told to get stuff ID'd at the Bargewright Inn...?
[2024/05/20 16:13] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: we did?
[2024/05/20 16:13] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: hmmmmm
[2024/05/20 16:13] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I suppose we can at least inquire about a price check there
[2024/05/20 16:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: you did... it's a Guild pub.... you're in the guild
[2024/05/20 16:13] Alicia Frakture: /me shrugs
[2024/05/20 16:14] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: *twitches*
[2024/05/20 16:14] Sonja Bikergrrl: "talk to the barkeeper" you was told
[2024/05/20 16:17] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: .....i suppose it's worth asking.
[2024/05/20 16:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: going to ask the barkeep?
[2024/05/20 16:18] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: yeah, we can head over. Get a cheap ale and inquire about what to do with weird stuff I and my allies can't use effectively.
[2024/05/20 16:18] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ...and there's probably some guild bruiser who can make use of a splint mail
[2024/05/20 16:19] Sonja Bikergrrl: The barkeeper polishes a glass with a rather dirty rag. "Wierd stuff you can't use? chuck it away somewhere."
[2024/05/20 16:19] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "It's weird, not useless. Valuable to someone, most like."
[2024/05/20 16:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "I dunno, no time for that." He shrugs and picks up another dirty glass and starts wiping that with the dirty dishrag
[2024/05/20 16:20] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: .....!!!
[2024/05/20 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Granny Gumph served up worse.
[2024/05/20 16:21] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ...... :(
[2024/05/20 16:21] Alicia Frakture: Is there someone here who does have time for it and are they here?
[2024/05/20 16:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: what am I missing?
[2024/05/20 16:22] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: (( Being reminded to check with the bartender and then getting instantly told off for it is...mrrph ))
[2024/05/20 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: (You asked what to do with useless wierd stuff?)
[2024/05/20 16:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: (that's quite different to "I want to know what this does")
[2024/05/20 16:24] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ( We're also in a public location and not supposed to be talking openly about this kinda stuff
[2024/05/20 16:24] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ( so Debben is -trying- to be circumspect
[2024/05/20 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: (You can whisper to the barkeeper! And you're in Guild territory. Lots of rogues doing rogueish stuff)
[2024/05/20 16:25] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I mean stuff to offload. Ideally at some sort of profit," she attempts to clarify.
[2024/05/20 16:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: The barkeeper pauses in moving smudges about the glass. "Depends on the stuff? I sell booze. What are you trying to sell? Maybe see old Cut Me Throat, if you can find him?"
[2024/05/20 16:28] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "He trade in worked metals?"
[2024/05/20 16:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: The barkeeper considers this. "Well... sausages in a bun, usually... although they taste like a blacksmiths' a... er. Maybe?"
[2024/05/20 16:30] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "hmmmm. I suppose I can ask and maybe I get directed to someone else from there."
[2024/05/20 16:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: "Try the city square, furthest from the City Guards."
[2024/05/20 16:32] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Any specific thing to keep an eye out for while I'm there?"
[2024/05/20 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper shrugs. "I dunno. Keep yer head down, there's been another kid murdered. Nasty business."
[2024/05/20 16:34] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Last night?"
[2024/05/20 16:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper: "Yep, that dwarf or whatever, going round killing kiddies. Nasty."
[2024/05/20 16:37] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Gnome. They're thinner and lankier. not stout enough to be a dwarf."
[2024/05/20 16:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Barkeeper nods. "Aye, gnome."
[2024/05/20 16:42] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Alright, will head on out to the city square to talk to this Sausage Dribbler person
[2024/05/20 16:42] Alicia Frakture: And off we go
[2024/05/20 16:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Alrighty... I guess we'll leave it there, it's getting late
[2024/05/20 16:43] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: sorry misstress, for being so slow and out of it
[2024/05/20 16:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: not sure why you're sorry, pet
[2024/05/20 16:43] Alicia Frakture: This one thinks we're all kind of drained
[2024/05/20 16:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: could be, although, it's Monday, you wallies :P
[2024/05/20 16:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: be drained Friday... and get drunk at the same time
[2024/05/20 16:44] Alicia Frakture: First day fully back into work for this one
[2024/05/20 16:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: that should be fun
[2024/05/20 16:45] Alicia Frakture: It already happened. Heavy lifting a plenty
[2024/05/20 16:45] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): hopefully work and rest of day went well for all :)
[2024/05/20 16:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: at least it weren't scaffold poles
[2024/05/20 16:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: ....was it?
[2024/05/20 16:46] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: /me leans on, snuggles blearlily
[2024/05/20 16:46] Alicia Frakture: /me shakes head."No 60 lb boxes of rice."
[2024/05/20 16:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me hugs you both
[2024/05/20 16:48] Alicia Frakture: /me hugs everyone
[2024/05/20 16:48] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: probably gonna roll offline soon after this
[2024/05/20 16:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: I better turn in... and if you think you want to "re do" tonight, let me know, if you want to stick with it as it is. Or maybe you want a break? I'll leave that up to you
[2024/05/20 16:48] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Eh, we're slow but I'm not annoyed with tonight
