Session Six: The Return of the Old Ones...?
[2024/08/27 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Hmm. No music....
[2024/08/27 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: we'll get by, maybe
[2024/08/27 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... we ready to sling dice about?
[2024/08/27 16:23] Alicia Frakture: /me nods
[2024/08/27 16:24] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Can do. hoping my work stuff doesn't make noise during the game
[2024/08/27 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: as I recall it... we had an encounter with some religious guys beating themselves, heading for Winterhaven and talking about new gods.
[2024/08/27 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: All very blasphemous.
[2024/08/27 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's getting late, and camping at some point may be advisable
[2024/08/27 16:25] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ...how rude would it be to avoid camping with these guys?
[2024/08/27 16:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: and with that... GGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRREEEEEETTTINGS, Adventurers! Some players get regular sessions, you get whatever time we can sneak in
[2024/08/27 16:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: not very, they already marched off.
[2024/08/27 16:26] Sonja Bikergrrl: they seemed pleasant enough, in a jehovah witness on your doorstep kind of way.
[2024/08/27 16:27] Alicia Frakture: jehovahs witness? Someone cast fireball on them
[2024/08/27 16:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: also, if I recall it right, you still got magic books and items that might do with readin/using
[2024/08/27 16:28] Alicia Frakture: /me nods
[2024/08/27 16:28] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Gonna be a bit before track that down.
[2024/08/27 16:28] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: yes, the one use stat-boost books
[2024/08/27 16:28] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: that we haven't decided who should use them
[2024/08/27 16:28] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I think they were for physical stats?
[2024/08/27 16:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: indeed not
[2024/08/27 16:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: we are setting up camp, then?
[2024/08/27 16:29] Alicia Frakture: /me nods
[2024/08/27 16:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: probably a good idea... well, campy things happen
[2024/08/27 16:30] Alicia Frakture: Leesha can take first watch
[2024/08/27 16:31] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Should we use the books to accentuate a strength, or shore up a weakness?
[2024/08/27 16:31] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I think I'm leaning to improving our strengths
[2024/08/27 16:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana to Porphorin: "You are a weapons' master? Can you teach me how to use daggers?" Porphorin: "This one can try. The dagger is a light, stabbing weapon, hold it thus..."
[2024/08/27 16:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sapphire: Two books, one on thievery, one on quick movement
[2024/08/27 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: and Mecha, a pearl that should be disolved in wine and drunk. No idea what that does, that part wasn't explained.
[2024/08/27 16:33] Alicia Frakture: Gonna start cooking, making sure to keep some uncooked meat off to the side for the tiger
[2024/08/27 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dahlia?
[2024/08/27 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: The tiger is lurking nearby, watching.
[2024/08/27 16:34] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me sits and plays with hiney while flinging pixie dust around in different patterns
[2024/08/27 16:34] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me wiggling her bottom to make the glitter fly all over and giggles
[2024/08/27 16:34] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: (( Anyone object to Debben using the Thievery book? ))
[2024/08/27 16:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: (( You're literally the only thief? ))
[2024/08/27 16:35] Alicia Frakture: go for it
[2024/08/27 16:36] Alicia Frakture: As the food simmers, she brings the meat over. She has wolf haunch still so she brings it to the tiger on the bone
[2024/08/27 16:36] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben will be using her night reading for the theivery book then.
[2024/08/27 16:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: The book is absorbing, interesting... it has many tips, tricks, hints, suggestions. As the last page is turned... it fades out of existance.
[2024/08/27 16:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Sufficient XP is gained to put you halfway to the next level of thievery
[2024/08/27 16:39] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: damn it
[2024/08/27 16:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Roll d6 twice... and you get to allocate 30 points to abilities
[2024/08/27 16:39] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I forgot that was the way it worked
[2024/08/27 16:39] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: needed to have done it right after a natural level
[2024/08/27 16:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: naa, it's a good time
[2024/08/27 16:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: and bloody good rolls....
[2024/08/27 16:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: gain 3hp and 5 sanity
[2024/08/27 16:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: The tiger chews on the hunk of meat.
[2024/08/27 16:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: anyone watching our alien friend...?
[2024/08/27 16:42] Alicia Frakture: Watching her as I cook. Once ready I hand out food to everyone, alien friend included
[2024/08/27 16:42] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: oooh yeah, alien... associate
[2024/08/27 16:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Don't forget the 30 points to allocate, Debben
[2024/08/27 16:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: what exactly did you cook, Leesha?
[2024/08/27 16:44] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: +20 Find/Remove Traps, +10 Open Locks
[2024/08/27 16:44] Alicia Frakture: A wolf meat stew.
[2024/08/27 16:45] Alicia Frakture: Using the last of the wolf meat
[2024/08/27 16:46] Sonja Bikergrrl: Allocated
[2024/08/27 16:46] Alicia Frakture: *Taking stock, there is more meat aside from the wolf.*
[2024/08/27 16:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Meat stew would be in bowls. Our alien associate looks at it dubiously, then at everyone else, waits until all have started, then starts. At first it goes down well enough, but after that, there's some grimacing and shifting.
[2024/08/27 16:48] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Not used to the local food options?"
[2024/08/27 16:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Debben gets a look of disdain.
[2024/08/27 16:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dahlia?
[2024/08/27 16:50] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: She nods, noting the indirect admission the alien can in fact understand their language.
[2024/08/27 16:51] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Not entirely sure that follows...?)
[2024/08/27 16:52] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ((They reacted to my comment. And unless they're disdaning everything we do while also still hanging around... ))
[2024/08/27 16:53] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me looks on a bit lost in curious thought, having met so many interesting big people so far on this journey
[2024/08/27 16:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: ((well, she pretty much has been aloof and disdainful))
[2024/08/27 16:54] Sonja Bikergrrl: (I'll award that 100XP, I think)
[2024/08/27 16:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana did comment about that earlier to Leesha. Speaking of which....
[2024/08/27 16:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana and Porphorin are back from weapons' training.
[2024/08/27 16:56] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "How'd it go?"
[2024/08/27 16:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: Porphorin: "The one known as Katana takes weapons' training well. This one can teach her no more."
[2024/08/27 16:57] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Katana: Gained weapon proficiency in daggers)
[2024/08/27 16:58] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana doesn't eat, but Porphorin does, takes a bowl and goes with Joan to talk about further travels
[2024/08/27 16:59] Alicia Frakture: Once everyone has eaten Leesha cleans up and prepares to meditate
[2024/08/27 17:00] Sonja Bikergrrl: well... now is good....
[2024/08/27 17:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: and I'm curious as a kitten to see what you do :)
[2024/08/27 17:01] Sonja Bikergrrl: indeed, I think we all are!
[2024/08/27 17:02] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben is gonna check her notes on what exactly Mister Wellmeet want us to do up here
[2024/08/27 17:02] Alicia Frakture: *If you're sure*
[2024/08/27 17:02] Sonja Bikergrrl: The mission, as given: Go to Mirkwood Forest, find the contact, Ragnar.
[2024/08/27 17:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: Mirkwood Forest should be a day or two further north.
[2024/08/27 17:03] Alicia Frakture: Pre-meditation she walks up behind the alien. "Hand me your bowl if you're done"
[2024/08/27 17:03] Sonja Bikergrrl: *we're all agog....*
[2024/08/27 17:03] Alicia Frakture: *hopefully catch her off guard*
[2024/08/27 17:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: Alien associate: glances up, a slight smirk and a disdainful look
[2024/08/27 17:04] Alicia Frakture: Can't fault me for trying can ya. now then if you're done bowl please.
[2024/08/27 17:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: Alien associate: takes the last of the stew, eats it, winces, holds out the bowl. "Istik."
[2024/08/27 17:05] Alicia Frakture: Leesha Smirks."You're welcome." as she goes to clean."Also, nice ass."
[2024/08/27 17:06] Sonja Bikergrrl: Alien associate: (blinks... stares at Leesha): "...k'chakhi..."
[2024/08/27 17:07] Sonja Bikergrrl: (for those puzzled... "Istik" = "stranger", "k'chakhi" = idiot")
[2024/08/27 17:07] Alicia Frakture: Leesha continues to smirk as she sets out the meditation mat."Not my fault it's true"
[2024/08/27 17:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana wanders back and leans on the cart, watching closely.
[2024/08/27 17:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Alien associate: upper lip quivers, in a brief slight sneer
[2024/08/27 17:08] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben smirks at the move but doesn't interrupt.
[2024/08/27 17:12] Alicia Frakture: Although the view from the front is pretty nice too. But ya know I call it like I see it.
[2024/08/27 17:13] Sonja Bikergrrl: Alien associate: (Looking increasingly annoyed) (growls quietly): "...shka'keth..!" (A-hole!)
[2024/08/27 17:15] Alicia Frakture: Hears the growl."I'm just being honest here. bet you gotta beat them off with a stick... Or would it be with an Istik?"
[2024/08/27 17:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Alien associate (takes a deep breath, holds it for a moment): "You know. I speak your tongue."
[2024/08/27 17:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "We've known a while, actually."
[2024/08/27 17:17] Alicia Frakture: /me nods."Of course I do. You have responded to everything said and instead of looking confused, you responded as though you knew."
[2024/08/27 17:17] Sonja Bikergrrl: Alien associate: "kaincha!" (Expression of regret)
[2024/08/27 17:17] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I'd been wondering why you refuse to speak ours."
[2024/08/27 17:18] Sonja Bikergrrl: Debben gets a disdainful smirk. "You are yank." (Child)
[2024/08/27 17:19] Alicia Frakture: Gotta be honest. as far as we know we don't know your language, but anyway. What are your intentions with us and if you would like to travel, maybe tell us a bit about you, like a name? It might get tiring calling you hey you."
[2024/08/27 17:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: Alien associate: "Valyra."
[2024/08/27 17:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "You probably know ours. Katana. The ugly one is Leesha, the short one Debben. Somewhere up there, Dahlia."
[2024/08/27 17:21] Alicia Frakture: Nice to meet you Valyra." before turning to Katana."Wait a minute, Ugly?"
[2024/08/27 17:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: (smiles) "Have you seen a looking glass?"
[2024/08/27 17:23] Alicia Frakture: Yes I have. Before looking back at Valyra."So what was that at the barn?
[2024/08/27 17:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Valyra: "Hshar'lak. (Unforgiveable). I leave my people."
[2024/08/27 17:27] Alicia Frakture: I wont push for the deep details. You can tell us when you are comfortable and ready to.
[2024/08/27 17:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: Valyra: "I go soon. You die, if I stay."
[2024/08/27 17:28] Alicia Frakture: By who?
[2024/08/27 17:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: Valyra takes another deep breath, lets it out. "Rrakkma (vengeance band). My people not let Hshar'lak (Unforgiveable) get away."
[2024/08/27 17:30] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "Great. Someone else being hunted. You'll fit right in."
[2024/08/27 17:30] Alicia Frakture: might be easier to travel in a group. I mean not gonna try and force you but if they have numbers, don't you think you should too?
[2024/08/27 17:31] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "....I kinda want to hear more about this Rrakkma and how involved it's going to be. More dragons?"
[2024/08/27 17:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: This gets a sneer. "k'chakhi! (Idiot!) You yank! (child) Rrakkma (vengeance band) strong!"
[2024/08/27 17:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: Valyra: "Dragon... yes. More githyanki."
[2024/08/27 17:34] Alicia Frakture: I really want to joke that we have a tiger, but seriously like I said. I wont force you to stay but your chances would at least be better with a group than alone." She pauses."So you are Githyanki? Learn something new every day."
[2024/08/27 17:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Valyra: "Githyanki strong. You weak."
[2024/08/27 17:37] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "No argument there," Debben comments. "Not very popular either."
[2024/08/27 17:37] Alicia Frakture: Not exactly weak, just a bit unlucky some times. Anyway, You are welcome to stay as long as you like. if you're here and they attack, we will see how strong they are, but for now I need to meditate." She sits on the mat and smirks, by the way the lines used to frustrate you into talking happened, doesn't make it less true."
[2024/08/27 17:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Valyra: "They attack... you die."
[2024/08/27 17:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "We've managed so far."
[2024/08/27 17:39] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "That said, if you're serious about heading off on your own.... do you have a plan of where to go? Where you're going to get hold of food and shelter?"
[2024/08/27 17:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Valyra: "No... no plan. Just get far away."
[2024/08/27 17:40] Sonja Bikergrrl: Valyra: "Maybe..." (pause) "...no, no plan."
[2024/08/27 17:41] Alicia Frakture: Maybes are always good.
[2024/08/27 17:42] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "Think it's wise we take double watches until whatever happens, happens. For safety."
[2024/08/27 17:42] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Two people awake each shift, you mean?"
[2024/08/27 17:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "Aye. Just in case."
[2024/08/27 17:44] Sonja Bikergrrl: Tiger pads over silently, seeing Leesha sitting on the mat, and clambers onto her. Leesha gets to roll a d20
[2024/08/27 17:45] Sonja Bikergrrl: Success. The tiger is big, and has considerable mass. However, Leesha manages to stay sitting, just, with a tiger on her lap, literally towering over her and concealing her in striped fur.
[2024/08/27 17:47] Sonja Bikergrrl: Tiger has gained class: Animal Companion, and intelligence is increased. Beware, he's still very much a wild animal, with all that that implies.
[2024/08/27 17:47] Alicia Frakture: /me smiles."Okay, I get it we don't HAVE a tiger, You are your own being, but I am glad you're here." She says smiling
[2024/08/27 17:48] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ( if only we could teach the tiger how to read.... )
[2024/08/27 17:48] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "You've been adopted by the tiger."
[2024/08/27 17:48] Sonja Bikergrrl: Tiger just sits on Leeshas' lap, a bit like any house cat would, just... MUCH bigger.
[2024/08/27 17:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: and, this looks a good point to call it a night :)
[2024/08/27 17:49] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ♥
[2024/08/27 17:49] Alicia Frakture: Can not resist giving the tiger scritches right behind the ear.
[2024/08/27 17:49] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: thanks for running, mistress
[2024/08/27 17:49] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me good night everyone
[2024/08/27 17:49] Alicia Frakture: This was fun.
[2024/08/27 17:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: always happy to
[2024/08/27 17:50] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oh, the fun is just beginning...
[2024/08/27 17:51] Alicia Frakture: Looking forward to it
