Session Six: The Return of the Old Ones...?
[2024/10/22 15:20] Sonja Bikergrrl: let's roll dice, have music... have fun. That's why we come to SL :)
[2024/10/22 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: right... where's the music... music is a must
[2024/10/22 15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl:
[15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: I am now streaming music at: http://81.133.27.194:8000
[15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's either suitable mood music or my ipod library. Feel free to tune in!
[15:21] Sonja Bikergrrl: =^..^= Music now on! =^..^=
[2024/10/22 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me presses PLAY
[2024/10/22 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: so.... last time....
[2024/10/22 15:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: you managed to totally wipe what I thought was a lethal encounter
[2024/10/22 15:23] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: the dragon settled down like a helicopter and then a kill-team of gits disembarked, yes?
[2024/10/22 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: faced down a red dragon and took out three Githyanki
[2024/10/22 15:23] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: I'm probably pronouncing that wrong
[2024/10/22 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: Something like that
[2024/10/22 15:23] Sonja Bikergrrl: it's HEL-i-copter ;)
[2024/10/22 15:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Valyra is a little less haughty right now, after all.... you went right through 'em.
[2024/10/22 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: so... Debben is sorely injured, as is Katana
[2024/10/22 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: and with that recap out the way... GGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRREEEEEEETTTTINGS, Adventurers! Some players get to fight mighty dragons, you make deals with them for later.
[2024/10/22 15:25] Sonja Bikergrrl: Who's doing what?
[2024/10/22 15:26] Mecha (alicia.frakture): We need to take time to do some healing
[2024/10/22 15:26] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Which means, finding a place to go bleed on, erm, i mean, to stay the night
[2024/10/22 15:27] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me stops concentrating on her spell to peek out and see if combat has mostly ended or not and if so flies towards Debben to both bandage and cast cure light wounds on her
[2024/10/22 15:27] Mecha (alicia.frakture): /me nods.
[2024/10/22 15:28] Sonja Bikergrrl: heals 1d8....
[2024/10/22 15:29] Sonja Bikergrrl: D8, Dahlia
[2024/10/22 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana heals herself somewhat (healing magic doesn't work so well for her)
[2024/10/22 15:31] Sonja Bikergrrl: Oh! Dina, d20
[2024/10/22 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me facepalms
[2024/10/22 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: nat1...
[2024/10/22 15:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: okay, nothing bad happens, you just expend 1 magic point.
[2024/10/22 15:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: who's doing what now?
[2024/10/22 15:34] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Finish loading the cart and keep moving forward
[2024/10/22 15:34] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me zips around playfully trying to help organize things in the cart
[2024/10/22 15:35] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Time of day and how far are we from a decent camp sight?
[2024/10/22 15:35] Sonja Bikergrrl: Not much to do there, nothing got took off. Katana scowls and comes alongside the cart. Valyra follows, still looking very surprised. The trail? Goes forwards, past some large splatters of blood.
[2024/10/22 15:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: It's round about 10 AM and you got a good day of travel before needing to rest
[2024/10/22 15:36] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Katana how are you doing?
[2024/10/22 15:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "I'll get by. Those Githyanki are after your friend. Do I need to remind you she's evil? We're meddling with evil creatures. No good will come of this, mark my words."
[2024/10/22 15:37] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Debben same question
[2024/10/22 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: I'll assume Debben is loading the musket. It's little use unloaded :)
[2024/10/22 15:38] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Katana those guys with the dragon. were they good or were they evil?
[2024/10/22 15:38] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Like shit, honestly." She is indeed reloading it, looking ahead. "So, Katana. When you sense 'evil'.... what is it you're actually picking up from her?"
[2024/10/22 15:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: Your powder horn is half full now, by the way (Enough for 8 more shots)
[2024/10/22 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "They are, or were, all evil!"
[2024/10/22 15:39] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana frowns, wondering how best to explain this one.
[2024/10/22 15:40] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Exactly, and they came after her. To a degree doesn't that make her less evil than them and honestly she has not done anything evil to us.
[2024/10/22 15:41] Mecha (alicia.frakture): So at this time she may come from evil but not be evil herself
[2024/10/22 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "It is hard to explain... creatures who are disposed to evil.... they glow red... or I sense redness in their direction. Creatures actively doing evil, will blaze a bright intense red. I cannot explain it better than that, I fear."
[2024/10/22 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Valyra, walking slightly behind, watching, in that way of one not wanting to show they can hear you
[2024/10/22 15:41] Sonja Bikergrrl: Dahlia?
[2024/10/22 15:43] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me goes about collecting components to make a healing potion
[2024/10/22 15:43] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Anyway, as we walk Leesha speaks up."Okay we need to talk everyone."
[2024/10/22 15:43] Sonja Bikergrrl: For some reason, you see Dahlia flitting about, looking in flowers and shaking dandilions
[2024/10/22 15:44] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben nods along, considering this description.
[2024/10/22 15:45] Mecha (alicia.frakture): We could have failed that fight. We could have died and yet all we did was bicker over whether to fight or run. We need a more solid way of making decisions. I don't care if it means picking a team leader, or just putting things like this to a vote or something
[2024/10/22 15:47] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "....yeah. It's not the first time we've been indecisive how to do this too."
[2024/10/22 15:47] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me flies up to join the conversation after collecting her components
[2024/10/22 15:48] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Agreed and one time we're going to be debating and bickering and they're going to come right up and hrrrk that's it for us.
[2024/10/22 15:49] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "Aye, so what are you suggesting?"
[2024/10/22 15:51] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me "No the baddies cant sneak up on us , so many of us and all pay attention all the time"
[2024/10/22 15:51] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Well I may not be the brightest Candle in the window but I think we need some sort of leadership, without taking anyones free will. Let Debben shoot, Dahlia heal and do magic play to everyones strength but also not run blindly into a fight if we can help it
[2024/10/22 15:52] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "Aye, I agree... about the candle..."
[2024/10/22 15:53] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I've heard that pirate ships elect their captain for battle, and someone else for outside of battle."
[2024/10/22 15:53] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana frowns. "I should hope we aren't pirates. They are evil!"
[2024/10/22 15:54] Mecha (alicia.frakture): That works as well, but we have got to be okay with the decision of whoever is leader...*Looks at Katana for a moment, and then back* So we need to be good with whoever is running things in what part
[2024/10/22 15:55] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana -was- attempting to make a joke about the candle comment.
[2024/10/22 15:55] Mecha (alicia.frakture): The look was about the pirate thing."
[2024/10/22 15:56] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana wasn't joking about that!
[2024/10/22 15:56] Mecha (alicia.frakture): *Hence the look She took the candle thing as a joke and took it in stride
[2024/10/22 15:57] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "So, I think we can't be taking votes in the middle of battle. It'll take too long when we don't have time to debate anything."
[2024/10/22 15:58] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Exactly
[2024/10/22 15:58] Mecha (alicia.frakture): So we need ideas. Who should lead in which situation?
[2024/10/22 16:00] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me "one of the big people should lead, especially since your loud and know whats going on with other big people", she spoke in a friendly and and smiled
[2024/10/22 16:01] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Me? In which side?
[2024/10/22 16:01] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: Debben rolls her eyes but then nods along. "One of the loud ones, sure."
[2024/10/22 16:04] Mecha (alicia.frakture): okay. So let's do this right. Since everyone is here and technically part of the group everyone votes.. and I do mean everyone."
[2024/10/22 16:04] Sonja Bikergrrl: (Q. Stopped for the conversation or still moving?)
[2024/10/22 16:04] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Figure still moving as we talk*
[2024/10/22 16:04] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ( We can walk and talk )
[2024/10/22 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: (It's important. Rolls a d20 and smirks.)
[2024/10/22 16:05] Sonja Bikergrrl: (I'm sure you'll be fine.)
[2024/10/22 16:07] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: ( Wouldn't be the first pit-trap i've walked into.... )
[2024/10/22 16:07] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Ok. So, without voting for ourselves... who would we want to be led by?"
[2024/10/22 16:08] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "No offense, Debben, but you have made some unwise choices."
[2024/10/22 16:08] Mecha (alicia.frakture): We all have
[2024/10/22 16:09] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "I am thinking of the city guard and the ghastly gnome, Ned."
[2024/10/22 16:10] Mecha (alicia.frakture): okay Katana who do you think would make a good leader?
[2024/10/22 16:12] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: (thoughtful): "Well... I am perhaps the best choice... but I have a mission that must be completed. But of the three of you? I should think you'd make the better choice than any of us."
[2024/10/22 16:12] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Meanwhile Leesha is keeping an eye on things around them, looking back at the Tiger too
[2024/10/22 16:14] Mecha (alicia.frakture): What about everyone else?
[2024/10/22 16:16] Sonja Bikergrrl: ie., Dahlia, Debben
[2024/10/22 16:17] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I think it's a close match between Katana and Leesha, really. Which is kinda a match between morals and practicality."
[2024/10/22 16:19] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me twirled about while thinking before speaking up , something rare for her, "Leesha could be leader, and even the tiger would listen too!"
[2024/10/22 16:21] Mecha (alicia.frakture): If you are all okay with that I will do it, but before that. The reason I wanted to run before that fight. We could deal with regular enemies but Dragons are a whole other level.
[2024/10/22 16:22] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "And if the dragon and it's evil allies are looking for... what did they say? A traitor? You think you can outrun or hide from that?"
[2024/10/22 16:23] Mecha (alicia.frakture): UNtil we are to a level we can deal with a dragon yes I do. It's really simple. We can not charge headlong in to every fight. Pulling back sometimes is the smart play
[2024/10/22 16:24] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana: "I am not sure you are following. A foe determined to find their target, will find that target."
[2024/10/22 16:25] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Then if we have to fight we will fight smarter
[2024/10/22 16:26] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "So far they haven't tried any ambushes, but the more we foil them, the more likely they try for it..."
[2024/10/22 16:27] Sonja Bikergrrl: (DM makes a few notes)
[2024/10/22 16:27] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "I think the tiger breaks my tie, better for Leesha to be in charge and it agree with her than for someone else to find the tiger won't obey them."
[2024/10/22 16:28] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Not looking for blind obedience. we play to our strengths and go from there but that is once we get into the fight.
[2024/10/22 16:32] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Leesha starts digging into the cart handing out apples and cheese and bread. "We can eat as we walk"
[2024/10/22 16:32] Sonja Bikergrrl: While you have been walking and talking, a great "wall" of ancient oak trees and elderly briar bushes has come into view. Going -through- the trees will be near impossible without considerable effort; the trail leads on under the boughs and through shaded gloom. This, it seems, is Mirkwood Forest... it looks a little more evil and forboding than you might've suspected.
[2024/10/22 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Valyra takes some of the bread and looks at it critically, then starts to bite into it, wincing only a little.
[2024/10/22 16:33] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana, of course, ignores food of any kind.
[2024/10/22 16:34] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "Even by forest standards that place looks villanous. I can imagine the roots cracking stone already..."
[2024/10/22 16:34] Sonja Bikergrrl: Katana gives Debben a look
[2024/10/22 16:35] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Well our options are limited. we hack through the bushes to go through the trees or stay on the path. If we had a map we could see about the possibility of going around.
[2024/10/22 16:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: And that'll be the cliffhanger! I got work tomorrow, after all, better not stay up too late
[2024/10/22 16:36] Sonja Bikergrrl: /me riffles hair all round, hugs each close and kisses
[2024/10/22 16:37] Mecha (alicia.frakture): /me smiles into the riffling and huggles everyone
[2024/10/22 16:37] ɗίηα ωíƖɗę ღ (kitten.venus): /me hugs and kisses everyone :)
[2024/10/22 16:37] Sonja Bikergrrl: love you all... see you tomorrow
[2024/10/22 16:38] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: "What?" she asks of Katana.
[2024/10/22 16:38] MidnightMinion Cyberstar: night night Sonja
[2024/10/22 16:38] Mecha (alicia.frakture): Good night Mistress, sleep well
[2024/10/22 16:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: hehee, "Sonja"
[2024/10/22 16:38] Sonja Bikergrrl: see you all tomorrow :)
