Well, I dunno if anyone's bothering to read these, but here's the log for week three of our game, complete with all the random nonsense from before the game really got started...
<@DMFernin> ok, back
<JoxAshwood> wb
<JoxAshwood> Got all our sheers?
<Taran_Almasy> snip snip
<JoxAshwood> ...
<@DMFernin> 4 gnolls were killed, 1/2 CR each, that's 600 exp for that encounter, I think we had... what, 6 people playing?
06* JoxAshwood sheers Fernin
<JoxAshwood> I mean sheets
<@DMFernin> Satsui, Fred, Sathien, Slayer, Vald, Lottel... anyone I'm forgetting who played last week?
<JoxAshwood> The then gnolls went crazy and formed a Union
06* JoxAshwood shrugs
<Taran_Almasy> In retrospect I think I should've told everyone to lay off the women unless they went crazy
<@DMFernin> oh, right, Not Sure
<Suzume_Shizuka> I didn't really do anything
<@DMFernin> but Satsui didn't take part in the combat...
<@DMFernin> so, 50 exp for ... dangit, where the hell is Lottel?
<JoxAshwood> Jox = Joxor... Ash = Evil Dead.. Wood=giggity
06* Taran_Almasy begins humming "Joxor the Mighty"
<JoxAshwood> Joxor from Xena, the bumbling wannabe knight
<Taran_Almasy> mercenary
<JoxAshwood> I cant rememebr or spell Bruce Campbell's character's name
<Taran_Almasy> Autolycus
<JoxAshwood> Thats what he told himself
<Taran_Almasy>
<JoxAshwood> I took Ash

MUCH better Bruce character
<Taran_Almasy> Bubba Hotep
<@DMFernin> okay, so, EXP!
<Taran_Almasy> anyway, what's the final assessment on XP then?
<@DMFernin> 50 exp for Lottel, who isn't here, the bum
<@DMFernin> 150 exp for Not Sure
<@DMFernin> 100 exp for each other character
<Suntoer> Woo
<Suntoer> How much exp to get to level 2?
<Taran_Almasy> Not to nitpick, but why'd Not Sure get an extra 50
<Taran_Almasy> you need 1k Sun
<Suntoer> I did a ton of damage
<Suzume_Shizuka> Nobody loves me
<Taran_Almasy> ah right
<JoxAshwood> I'm on Level 1, wherever you guys end up
<Suntoer> ah.
<Taran_Almasy> forgetting who played who
<JoxAshwood> I played Jessica Alba... like a piano
<JoxAshwood> giggity
<Derickt> so 600 + spellcasting?
<Suzume_Shizuka> Least of all this illegal operation error
<Taran_Almasy> I immolated a gnoll skull!
<Suzume_Shizuka> I may drop a second
<Suzume_Shizuka> ...
<@DMFernin> ...say what now, Vald?
<Suzume_Shizuka> I'm alive
<Derickt> oh, I thought you said 600 exp. my bad
<Suntoer> and remember we got 50 for the first session
<Taran_Almasy> I hunger
<Taran_Almasy> Run Run Run!
<Taran_Almasy> ROOOOORAGH
<Suzume_Shizuka> It is 600 XP. Total
<@DMFernin> hehe, 600 exp for the challenge, divided amongst the group
<Suzume_Shizuka> But what's this "+ spellcasting" stuff?
<Suzume_Shizuka> I think Vald is showing his age with THAT one.
<@DMFernin>
<@DMFernin> Syd vs Me battle is over... 24-23
<Suntoer> congrats
<Suzume_Shizuka> Who won it?
<Suntoer> there goes the universe
<Taran_Almasy> glad to play tiebreaker
<JoxAshwood> there goes Christmas...
<Taran_Almasy> hello Easter
02* Sevym (~sevym101@stjhnf0131w-142162026188.pppoe-dynamic.nl.aliant.net) Quit (Quit: )
<@DMFernin> I did, Satsui
<Suntoer> there's still a half-dead snoll about
<Suntoer> gnoll
<Suzume_Shizuka> Alright!
<JoxAshwood> snoll
<JoxAshwood> rofl
<Taran_Almasy> female, yes
<Taran_Almasy> ?
<@DMFernin> nope, not female
<Taran_Almasy> oh, interrogation, yessss
<Suntoer> and i'm still pretty enraged
<@DMFernin> it was the male guarding the main hut's door
<JoxAshwood> write me in somewhere
<Suzume_Shizuka> So, what did we decide with me, Fernin?
<Taran_Almasy> actually it's Fernin's call on that
<@DMFernin> oh, right
<Taran_Almasy> if we're ruling the encounter over, you're fatigued now
<JoxAshwood> I'll be like the Fox Network, but you know, called SpikeTV instead
<Suzume_Shizuka> Wasn't it "I never got out" or something?
<@DMFernin> you'll come in where I say you do, Jox
<@DMFernin> put your OOC chat in [[]]'s
<@DMFernin> and kindly cut back on the drunken ramblings
<JoxAshwood> ok
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[So we started. Okay]]
<JoxAshwood> um... not gonna happen, but 'll try
<@DMFernin> alright, so
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[who was Sevym?]]
10* Beauregard_Tau (~docinsano@24-117-141-22.cpe.cableone.net) has joined #baryus
<Derickt> [[my bro]]
<JoxAshwood> [[I'm watching Bruce Lee kick ass in Fists of Fury]]
<Suntoer> [[vald's bro i think]]
<@DMFernin> huzzah, doc made it
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Not a character?]]
06* Taran_Almasy calls Orseph to him "Alright guys, I think now we should interrogate the one survivor we've got left."
<JoxAshwood> [[hey doc]]
<@DMFernin> he and Ghandi will come into the story... soon enough
<JoxAshwood> [[Good]]
<JoxAshwood> [[that means more alcohol for you and me doc

]]
<@DMFernin> [[Okay, I'm loading Game Table now, I'll have to run the map myself and just tell you guys about it]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[considering where Suzume was from the battle on the table, I'm assuming I haven't noticed the character yet]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I think I've been retconned to still be in a burlap sack]]
<@DMFernin> [[Suzume managed to cut herself free from the sack, but passed out again from standing up too quickly]]
<@DMFernin> Fred was standing over the dead, headless Gnoll
<JoxAshwood> [[Bruce Lee was an orignal action star]]
<@DMFernin> he says, Screw you guys, I'm going to the tavern, I'm out.
<JoxAshwood> [[i'd be like him if I wasn't a hafling]] :p
<@DMFernin> He treks off in the direction of Ceron.
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Awwwww, I don't wanna be a wimp.

I may as well go tie myself to some railroad track and say "hay-alp! Hay-alp!]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Whatever, it works for me. *passes out*]]
06* Derickt cleans his blades onthe ground
06* Taran_Almasy looks in Fred's direction "...Alright, guess you didn't need that healing afterall"
<Taran_Almasy> [[so, is Suntoer still in rage or is he fatigued?''
<Taran_Almasy> ]]
<Suntoer> [[ enraged i guess ]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[Fernin's call alone]]
<Suntoer> [[of... guess it's the time then]]
<Suntoer> [[oh*
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[You can drop a Barbarian rage at any time, if that's what it is]]
<@DMFernin> Taran is standing directly over a dead gnollwife, Derickt is standing to the south of Taran, a fatigued Suntoer is to the east of Derickt, another dead gnollwife to the east of Suntoer, a dead gnoll to the south of Suntoer, Viktor to the west of that dead gnoll
<Suntoer> [[doesn't really matter... they're all pretty much dead]]
<JoxAshwood> [[I only have my character sheet at the ready]]
<@DMFernin> Orseph is to the southwest of the dead gnoll, the entrance to the hut is directly south of the dead gnoll
<Taran_Almasy> [[I calld Orseph back to me so for now just assume he's occupying my space]]
<Derickt> I check the other huts for more gnolls
<Suntoer> [[fatigue wears off after the encounter is through, right?]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[nope]]
<@DMFernin> Derickt checks through 8 huts, finds no further gnolls
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[...Look up under Barbarian.]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[correction, nm]]
<Suntoer> [[hmm that seems what i read]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I don't think it's "fatigue", I think he's just winded]]
<Derickt> Ok, now I check out the armor and possessions of the big gnoll
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[but I don't have a PHB with me today]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[barb gets fatigued for the rest of an encounter when his rage ends]]
<Suntoer> [[yeah]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[since the encounter's over, it's moot]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[man i shouldn't have had that enchanted herb earlier]]
<@DMFernin> The big gnoll was wearing scale mail and wielding... what'd that one have, an axe I think?
06* Taran_Almasy heads into the tent with the remaining gnoll, scimitar drawn
<Taran_Almasy> [[yeah an axe]]
<Derickt> Andy damage to the scale mail?
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[can we turn our attention to the in character stuff? Like...perhaps...the unconsious woman in the middle of it?]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[there's a big fire blocking my line of view to ya Suzume]]
<Derickt> Did I happen to see a body-shaped burlap sack when I search the huts?
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Subtle, Vald.

]]
<@DMFernin> The scale mail is... relatively unharmed, as far as Gnoll armor goes
06* Taran_Almasy looks around to see where the gnoll might be
<JoxAshwood> [[doesn't know the previous given circumstances]]
<Derickt> I take the scale mail to pawn in Ceron
<Beauregard_Tau> [[man i'm so lost]]
<@DMFernin> [[doesn't matter, Jox, you're nowhere near here as it is]]
<Derickt> [[shouldve read the log from last session... buwhahaha]]
06* Beauregard_Tau kicks some dirt around
<JoxAshwood> [[I now, but I've got to be ready]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[what remained of it anyway]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Just bear with it for now, doc. ]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[don't worry i will
<@DMFernin> Taran sees the gnoll crouching on the ground, attempting to bind its wounds
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[You'll catch on in a little bit]]
<@DMFernin> Derickt claims the scale male of the largest Gnoll as his own.
06* Taran_Almasy points his blade at the gnoll's throat "Stay right there" [[Now of course I'm speaking Gnoll this whole time of course]]
<@DMFernin> [[I'm trying to go in order, forgive me if I screw up]]
<Derickt> [[no worries fernin]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[We seem to be missing a fair number of people. Easter holiday, probably]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[Hippitus hoppitus e nomine padre et spiritus sancti]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[what the hell is easter]]
<@DMFernin> The Gnoll snarls at Taran, but doesn't make a move.
<JoxAshwood> [[when Bunnies rule the Earth for a day]]
06* Derickt goes back to examine that body-shaped sac, that he -must- have noticed
<Taran_Almasy> "You're the only one left in this camp so I have some questions for you."
06* Suzume_Shizuka is apparently out of the sack, but on the ground.
<Suntoer> [[feh... what's he gonna know. kill him!]]
<@DMFernin> Derickt finds a young woman laying on top of the remains of a lacerated sack.
<Taran_Almasy> [[unlike the rest of this party (to my knowledge) I'm actually good-aligned]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[trapped in a sack haha]]
<@DMFernin> The Gnoll growls and says something in Gnollish
06* Derickt shakes the woman, trying to wake her
06* Suntoer checks the gnoll corpses for gold.
<Beauregard_Tau> [[man don't kill her]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Please describe yourself, Derickt]]
06* Taran_Almasy moves into melee range "What was that you dog?"
<Derickt> [[6'0", human]]
<@DMFernin> Suntoer finds 14 gold coins between the 4 dead gnolls
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[...bald, no face, naked? I need a bit more, man.

]]
06* Suntoer pockets the gold.
<JoxAshwood> [[giggity]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[ heheh you have an ass chin]]
<Derickt> short hair, brown. brown eyes, wearing travelers clothes and a cloak. wielding two katar
<Derickt> [[oops]]
<@DMFernin> [[hehe]]
<@DMFernin> Derickt decides to suddenly, loudly announce his features to nobody in particular
06* Suzume_Shizuka comes to with a look of alarm on her face, but it soon settles in a pleasant look. She speaks with a pleasant, yet clearly exotic, accent.
<Beauregard_Tau> [[you lose 50 GP for that...]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> ...this day continues to throw suprises at me...who are you?
<JoxAshwood> [[thought he might be in the sack]]
<Derickt> "Y'okay?"
<Derickt> "Name's Derickt. What's yours?"
06* Taran_Almasy emerges cleaning his scimitar. A few seconds ago the cry of a gnoll keened and stopped short.
<Suzume_Shizuka> "I am not sure...may I stand?" Assuming you let her, she stands and brushes herself off. She then takes a step back and greets you with a bow. "I am Suzume of House Shizuka. And I appear to be fine, thank you"
06* Taran_Almasy sighs "He wouldn't talk."
<Derickt> "What are ya doin' in the middle of a gnoll camp?"
06* Taran_Almasy notices the woman and walks forward, his dyed green hair quite noticable
<Suzume_Shizuka> "I...truly have no idea. I fell asleep in one place and woke up in...well, there. I was hoping you could explain it"
<@DMFernin> [[That's 40 exp for Lottel for that gnoll, 40 for Taran, and 70 for Suntoer]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[ty]]
<Taran_Almasy> Gnoll bands have been striking around the area it seems.
<Derickt> [[Lottel is here?]]
<@DMFernin> [[no, but he still gets the exp, he was the first one to hit that gnoll last week]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka begins to gather up her posessions, most conspicously a quarterstaff that (for those who make such checks) appears to be made of wood not native to the area
<Beauregard_Tau> [[roofie colada i'm guessing]]
<Derickt> "We're headin' to Ceron to see if we can't help 'em out"
<Taran_Almasy> [[if it wouldn't be too much of a text crunch, maybe everyone could include their forum name in their nick as well?]]
<@DMFernin> [[No need for that, the list is still on page 3 of the D&D thread in general discussion]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[what fernin said^]]
<@DMFernin> [[It lists everyone's forum name and character name]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka looks confused. "Help...who out? These...um..."
<Suntoer> [[mine's not too hard to figure out]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[17 on Know nature check]]
<Derickt> "So where did ya fall asleep?"
<JoxAshwood> [[i haven't added mine yet, since I was an alternate-alternate]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Check with Fernin, that should be at least enough to tell that kind of tree don't grow round here. I don't know my wood, though, or what's good for staves]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Hell, call it cherry. That's a good oriental wood. Unless someone has something better]]
06* Taran_Almasy has a flash of insight and checks just to make sure there aren't any remnants of human bodies or anything else nasty in the bonfire
<Taran_Almasy> [[Cherry or bamboo works for me]]
<@DMFernin> [[Yeah, 17 is good enough to know that the staff is odd]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Bamboo? Ick.]]
06* Derickt asks Suzume where she fell asleep before waking here
<Taran_Almasy> [[12 on the Search check if necessary]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[I don't think she remembers there Derickt]]
<@DMFernin> [[Is Taran putting the fire out first, or just poking into the fire with something?]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "On a path. I really couldn't tell you where. For one, I don't know where I am now. Just that it's unpleasant. Mostly."
<Taran_Almasy> [[poking around to see if there're any humanoid remains]]
<Derickt> "Well, right now we're about an hour west of Ceron."
06* Taran_Almasy comments while focusing on the fire "One heck of a path judging from the make of that staff you have woman"
<@DMFernin> [[Let's not forget my literal DM ways, I almost had you poking around with your bare hands, since you didn't actually specify what you're poking around with...]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Let us just say I...took the long road"
<Taran_Almasy> [[literal DMness overides common sense?]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...which turned out to be a short cut"
<Derickt> "I think it'll be best if you come with us to Ceron. Figure out what you wanna do from there."
<@DMFernin> Taran discovers charred human bones among the flames.
<@DMFernin> ...or, at least, he assumes they're human, given the size and shape, definitely humanoid, at least
06* Derickt begins a semi-thorough search of the huts for valuables
06* Taran_Almasy looks like a figurative cloud has almost instantly manifested over his face
<Derickt> [[want to be in Ceron before dark]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka adresses Taran. "What are you doing over there?"
<Taran_Almasy> They burnt whatever captives they took
06* Taran_Almasy sighs deeply "Confirming suspicions it seems"
<Suzume_Shizuka> "That is...disturbing"
<Taran_Almasy> humanoid bodies, can't tell what race
<@DMFernin> Derickt finds a few sets of clothes stashed in the huts, ranging from child to adult sizes
<Beauregard_Tau> [[who is Tarash?]]
<@DMFernin> Most of the clothes are caked in dried blood
<Beauregard_Tau> [[i mean taran
<Beauregard_Tau> ]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[Taran is me, Sathien]]
<Derickt> "Leave it t'dogs to never have anything good"
<Beauregard_Tau> [[ah]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[Derickt is Vald and Jox is Ghandi I'm guessing?]]
<Derickt> "Hey Taran, why the sick face? You feelin' okay?"
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...I don't know for sure...I do not speak well with fire...but I can try and get some insight."
<JoxAshwood> [[is making addtional character notes]]
06* Taran_Almasy says "Can anyone conjure some water? I'd like to make a grave for these victims..." and is stopped short by Suzume's notion.
<Taran_Almasy> "Speak with fire?"
<Derickt> "Speak with fire?"
06* Suzume_Shizuka digs inside a pouch and pulls out a small strip of paper with writing on it. She closes her eyes, and focuses on the flames. She then speaks words, that none understand, but they sound forceful and intimidating."
<Suzume_Shizuka> (Fernin, Commune with Elements)
<Taran_Almasy> "Well, I suppose if a hierophant can speak with the animals and the plants, and even the earth itself, fire can't be THAT much harder."
<Derickt> "Riiiiight"
06* Derickt begins knocking down huts
06* Taran_Almasy turns to Derickt "You laugh?"
<@DMFernin> [[roll some strength checks, Derickt]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[just 1d20 + your Strength mod]]
<Derickt> "Animals, I can believe. Familiars and all. Plants and Fire? I'll believe it when I hear it myself"
<Derickt> !random 1 20
<Derickt> "Hmm, that hut seems pretty sturdy"
06* Derickt moves to another
<Suntoer> "Or you are just a weakling."
<Derickt> !random 1 20
06* Suzume_Shizuka scans the ground, finds a good-sized of non-fleshy burnable material, throws it into the fire, and speaks more words
<Suntoer> [[lol]]
06* Taran_Almasy laughs jovially "I think that might be a bit beyond your means my friend."
<Derickt> "Well, we could just burn them"
06* Taran_Almasy 's hawk cries in agreement
<@DMFernin> The fire curls up around the new material and seems to burn brighter for a moment.
<Taran_Almasy> Maybe later
<Taran_Almasy> "For all we know, doing it now could disrupt her communion"
06* Derickt watches Suzume, intrigued
<@DMFernin> The fire snaps, pops, and crackles far louder than it had a moment ago.
<Beauregard_Tau> [[that sounds like a lame generic rice crispies]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka opens her eyes
<Suzume_Shizuka> This is...a cooking fire.
<Suzume_Shizuka> This fire was well fed in both flesh and wood.
<Taran_Almasy> "Well, no one implied the fire was smart....Thank you all the same however, Suzume."
<Suzume_Shizuka> Fire kami are...frustrating at times.
<Taran_Almasy> com-ee?
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...I apoligize. Spirits."
06* Taran_Almasy waves it away "So, does anyone else wish to help me give the remains a proper burial?"
06* Taran_Almasy nods
<Derickt> "Throw the dogs on the pyre"
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Regardless, I consider it fortunate you happened along. I am not used to needing to take care in these surroundings.
06* Taran_Almasy beams "My good woman, I am an expert at survival in the wilderness so it must be quite fortuitous"
<Taran_Almasy> [[what happenned to everyone else?]]
<Derickt> "So we gonna torch these huts or what?"
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles
<Derickt> "Burn these dogs?"
<Suzume_Shizuka> Well, I shall leave you to your...task.
<Derickt> "I wanna get to Ceron before dark"
<Taran_Almasy> As do I, but there are certain things that need doing here
06* Suntoer stares impatiently
06* Suzume_Shizuka finds a quiet place to sit and think...being unable to handle the dead"
<Derickt> "Whata ya need for a proper burial here Taran?"
<Taran_Almasy> First we need to put out this flame to reach the bones whatever else is left.
<Suzume_Shizuka> She no longer felt the need to cleanse herself after merely being touched by another...these foreigners so love their touching...but she still felt dead flesh was unclean
<Derickt> "Hey viktor, you think you can conjure up some water? Ive seen clerics do it before"
<Taran_Almasy> [[Viktor's not here]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Shit, I forgot to go over Slayer's spell list. Meh, he's not here anyways]]
<Derickt> [[I know that, but his character should be]]
<@DMFernin> [[...Well, technically, he has just been standing there this whole time...]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "I am sorry. I have not mastered the skill of summoning water."
<Derickt> [[I know he mention conjuring water last session]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[heh fernin's controlling the absentees i guess]]
<@DMFernin> [[DM privilege, Viktor casts the spell for you]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[You wanna chat with the water, that I can do. But make it? Nope]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[is it enough to douse the flame?]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[...and Dragonforce starts playing in my head]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka turns to Sunoter
<@DMFernin> Viktor does some chanting or whatever it is those clerics do, maybe waggles a finger at the flames, and enough water to douse the flames appears in mid air
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Did you assist in my rescue as well?"
<@DMFernin> [[Hey doc, I sent you a number of PM's in here, lemme know what you think]]
<Derickt> "Heh, he doesn't talk much"
<Taran_Almasy> [[Drowns it out with Manowar]]
<Suntoer> "I merely killed gnolls."
<Suntoer> "I had no idea there would be someone here."
06* Suzume_Shizuka laughs
<Taran_Almasy> "Killed would be an understatement my half-orc friend"
<Derickt> "Alright, fire's out. Now what?"
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Quiet and humble? Those are virtues."
06* Taran_Almasy assesses the size of the remains [[How big much talking here?]]
<Derickt> "So is bein' able to decapitate a gnoll"
<@DMFernin> Dusk approaches as the sun dips low on the horizon.
06* Suzume_Shizuka wisely decides not to add "for a woman"
<@DMFernin> There are about 3 persons worth of bones among the ashes of the fire.
06* Taran_Almasy 's hawk decides to play with Suzume by flying circles around her
<Taran_Almasy> "He's harmless, I assure you."
06* Derickt wonders if bones would make a nice addition to his spell components
06* Taran_Almasy turns to Derickt "Now we bury a whole big enough for all this, about 3 persons deep, so that scavengers won't go for the bones."
<Derickt> "Dig? With what?"
06* Suzume_Shizuka ignores the creature, and finding Sunoter about as interesting to speak to as a brick wall (brick spirits being exceptionally boring), she returns to her meditations
<Taran_Almasy> anyone got a shovel?
06* Taran_Almasy already begins digging with his scimitar and scooping out with his hands.
<Derickt> "Well, Suzume there was tied up in a sac, what say we throw all the bones in a sac and take them to Ceron?"
<Derickt> [[assuming theres another sack somewhere]]
<Taran_Almasy> "Huff, And what...do you think...they'll say...when they ask....why we're carrying....a sack of bones?"
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Perhaps they could be identified by your priests. An interesting idea."
<@DMFernin> [[Yes, there were many more sacks among the huts]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Why not speak the truth to them?"
<Derickt> "We take one of the gnoll heads for proof"
<Derickt> "Any objection? It's gettin' dark"
<Taran_Almasy> gnoll head is fine, go check out that tent I just came from *smirk*
<Derickt> "Good"
06* Derickt goes to get three sacks
<Taran_Almasy> [[how much time does it take me to dig the hole, assuming no one else jumps in to help?]]
<Derickt> "Don't kill yourself diggin', let's just bring 'em to town"
<@DMFernin> [[assuming no one else jumps in to help, it'd take about an hour]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "I am truly sorry, I cannot assist"
06* Taran_Almasy sighs "Fine, I'd prefer to bury them here but you do point out that it's growing into Owltime."
<Taran_Almasy> [[going with Derickt's plan for the sake of moving along and concession]]
06* Suntoer shrugs and starts scooping dirt with his falchion
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Can we hit the Fast Forward button on the Magic Remote?]]
<Derickt> "No Suntoer, we're carrying them to town"
<Suntoer> Fine.
06* Derickt grabs the gnoll head taran cut off
06* Suntoer wipes the dirt off his blade.
06* Derickt Fills the sacks with bones, trying to keep each body separate if possible"
<@DMFernin> Okay, bodies have been sacked, gnoll head is in tow, off to Ceron we go... you arrive shortly after night falls.
06* Taran_Almasy picks up one of the bonesacks, unless it weighs more than 2 pounds he's carrying a medium load.
<Taran_Almasy> [[less than 2 heh]]
<@DMFernin> [[Since we're not in combat, you can carry as heavy a load as you like]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles
<Taran_Almasy> [[danka]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> I've been chased out of here before.
<Taran_Almasy> And whyforeverfor?
<Derickt> Are there any guards out on patrol?
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Secrets aren't secrets once they've been told." She smiles. "Don't worry, they won't reconize me. As anyone they want to chase away, anyways"
<@DMFernin> There are two guards who greet you as you enter the city.
<@DMFernin> ...rather, village
06* Derickt explains what happened, and asks where we should bring the remains
03* DMFernin is now known as Guard_Smith
<Derickt> "Is the church open at this hours?
<Derickt> [[*hour]]
<@Guard_Smith> The father is already to bed, but perhaps this would be a matter worth waking him up for.
06* Taran_Almasy smirks at the word "church"
06* Suzume_Shizuka politely bows, smiles, and says nothing
<Derickt> "Lead the way please"
<Derickt> [[temple? monastery? I dunno]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[Thunderdrome!]]
<@Guard_Smith> The guard leads you into the village, to a small, rather old, somewhat rundown temple.
<Derickt> [[Why is the guard verbally narrating?]]
<Derickt> [[Vengeance is mine!]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[Who's the temple dedicated to?]]
<@Guard_Smith> [[He happens to be a very odd guard, okay?

]]
<@Guard_Smith> [[He leads a dull life, which he livens up by narrating all of his actions]]
<Suntoer> [[all guards are strange... apparently]]
<@Guard_Smith> [[and lol... Fred just IM'd me to tell me, he's now driving through Frederick County, Maryland]]
<Derickt> [[Like the episode of Family Guy]]
<Taran_Almasy> [in 2nd person no less]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles upon seeing the rundown building. She was somewhere between amused and shocked at the idea of "deity worship" as it was, but at least this building seemed more...honest than others.
<@Guard_Smith> [[We'll go with St. Cuthbert as the deity it's dedicated to]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> !random 1 20
06* Derickt explains the happenings to the Father once (if) he meets him
03* Guard_Smith is now known as DMFernin
<Suzume_Shizuka> (12 on a Knowlegde Religion.)
06* Taran_Almasy stays outside the temple, handing his bag off to Suntoer or anyone else free of one "Personal issues, you understand."
<@DMFernin> The guard leads you into the church, up to a small room behind the altar, and tells you that the father is sleeping inside. He then heads back to his post.
06* Derickt knocks at the door
06* Suntoer takes it
<@DMFernin> listen check, Derickt
<Derickt> !random 1 20
<Derickt> 14
<@DMFernin> you can easily hear snoring coming from within the room
06* Derickt knocks louder
06* Suzume_Shizuka recognizes the symbol of St. Cuthbert, a deity who seemed to uphold honor and justice, but also, according to those fellows in the tavern, had the odd nickname of "Stickupdeas"
<@DMFernin> The snoring suddenly stops and a voice calls out,
03* DMFernin is now known as Father_Velo
<@Father_Velo> Huh? Whu? Whoozat?
<Derickt> "My name is Derickt father, I bear unpleasant tidings"
<@Father_Velo> Can't it wait til morning?
<Derickt> "On our way from Baryus to Ceron, my companions and I found the remains of three people killed by gnolls"
<Derickt> "I thought they might be residents of Ceron, so we brought them here for burial"
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Question. Is Ceron the nation, or the name of the town we're at?]]
<@Father_Velo> Ohhh, you must be one of them Adventurer types.
<@Father_Velo> [[Baryus is the nation, Ceron is the village]]
<Derickt> [[the village]]
<Derickt> "Yes, I am"
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Yep, we'd be them adventurer types. Walk on in at any old hour, bother you no matter what you're doing, maybe take anything you got in treasure chest that's just lyin' around. Got a quest?]]
<Derickt> "What would you have us do with the bodies?"
<@Father_Velo> [[After a brief moment of silence, the door slowly creaks open. A very aged, very wrinkled man steps out.]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles, bows in greeting, and says nothing, staying about a step and a half behind Derickt
<@Father_Velo> Sad, sad fate that befell those who were taken. Come, we'll head to the cemetary, best we can do for the poor souls now.
<Derickt> "Very well Father"
<@Father_Velo> Were the bodies in any fit shape to be identified?
<@Father_Velo> A number of people have gone missing recently, but only some were gnollnapped.
<Derickt> "Badly burned. Charred bones are all that remain"
<@Father_Velo> [[The father chuckles at his own joke.]]
06* Derickt thinks this levity is unusual
<Derickt> [[should I roll Int or Wis check?]]
<@Father_Velo> Ahh, shame, shame. We'll prepare a funeral service for the morning. With no way to identify them, the whole village will mourn them.
06* Suzume_Shizuka chuckles a little bit as well.
06* Derickt heads to the tavern for a drink, and then to the inn when he is finiched
<Derickt> [[after the cemetery]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...Forgive me for intruding...you cannot speak with their spirits to determine who they are?
<Taran_Almasy> [[at what point did everyone come back out of the temple?]]
<@Father_Velo> [[I'll hit the pause button at the tavern, as there'll be important goings ons in there]]
<Derickt> [[I was just sort of fast forwarding]]
<Derickt> [[ok]]
06* Derickt explains to Taran what we're doing
<@Father_Velo> Speak with the spirits? What sort of nonsense are you prattling on about, girl?
<JoxAshwood> [[I imagine 15 minute delay tops]]
06* Taran_Almasy nods "makes sense" and follows Derikt into the pub
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I'm going to make sure he didn't misunderstand me, because I'm sure that any priest is familiar with the concept of a living being having a spirit...]]
<Derickt> [[I guess we can let Suzume and Velo play their convo out]]
<JoxAshwood> [[do that]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Because if he's really denying the concept of a soul, there's gonna be some issues]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[With Cuthbert, at least]]
<Suntoer> [[heh... screensaver popped up]]
<@Father_Velo> Oh, of course, the spirit of the dead. You'll forgive me, I'm not used to conversing at this time of night.
<@Father_Velo> [[Keep in mind, he's old, he's tired, and he was woken out of a sound sleep

]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> I shall leave you to your rest, then.
06* Suzume_Shizuka follows the others
<@Father_Velo> [[k, that's 3 of the 4 in the pub... Suntoer?]]
06* Suntoer heads to the pub
06* Suzume_Shizuka turns to whoever is nearest
<Taran_Almasy> [[I take it this is where we meet Jox and Beau?]]
06* Taran_Almasy waves to Suzume
<Suzume_Shizuka> ...Do you not have problems with your dead...unnaturally returning?
<@Father_Velo> You enter the local pub, The Full Wineskin.
<@Father_Velo> [[...hmm, wrong name]]
<Taran_Almasy> They're an abomination and destroying them is one of my tenets as a druid.
<JoxAshwood> [[Bloated?]]
03* Father_Velo is now known as DMFernin
<Derickt> "Whoa, what? Dead returning?"
06* Suzume_Shizuka lets the strange word pass for now.
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Then why do you bury them so they can rise again?"
<Taran_Almasy> They don't usually rise when we bury them
<Taran_Almasy> It takes an outside...force to make such a thing happen.
<Suzume_Shizuka> "They never rise when you burn them"
<Derickt> "Rise again?"
<Derickt> [[wait, would I have knowledge of necromancy?]]
06* Taran_Almasy looks over to Derickt "What, you've never heard of zombies or ghouls?"
<Taran_Almasy> [[Knowledge (arcana) ]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[pretty low DC if ya ask me]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I'm guessing knowledge -of- them is pretty common]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[knowing -about- them, maybe not]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[i'd mention chiang-shi, but that's something Taran wouldn't know]]
<Derickt> [[not if people dont want to talk about them]]
<Derickt> !random 1 20
<Taran_Almasy> regardless, that place is a church, and it's holy ground at the very least.
<Derickt> [[15 on knowledge... maybe I do know about necromnacy]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[But in the culture I'm pulling Suzume out of, they cremate their dead because they're REALLY paranoid about zombies.]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[gotcha, fine Darkonian thinking LOL]]
<Derickt> [[waits for DM]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka nods
<@DMFernin> There are a number of villagers sitting at various tables. A pair of barmaids saunter between the bar and the customers. Two adventurers are seated at the bar, leaning heavily on it, gripping their mugs tightly.
<Derickt> Are they wearing armor?
06* Taran_Almasy pats Suzume on the shoulder "You need not worry"
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[It's more an ancestor worship thing. Kind of hard to honor your ancestors when Great Grampa is shambling toward you wanting to eat your brains]]
<@DMFernin> [[ hey Jox, Beau, this is your cue... are you wearing armor? ]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[and suddenly my mind wanders into the forest battle with The End]]
<JoxAshwood> [[padded leather]]
06* JoxAshwood knocks back a drink and asks teh barkeep for another
06* Suzume_Shizuka shies away from the touch. "I worry for nothing. I only speak common sense. If it troubles you, forget I mentioned it."
<Taran_Almasy> [[what time is it, ish?]]
<@DMFernin> The bartender eyes Jox, looks at the amount of empty mugs surrounding him, shrugs, fills another mug, and hands it to him.
06* Derickt tries to sell the crude scale mail to the adventurers
<Taran_Almasy> [["hey man, wanna buy a watch?'']]
<JoxAshwood> "Dax... he was great. Big warrior...." he says to Beau
<Derickt> "You look like brave adventurers"
<JoxAshwood> "Who are you?"
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I'm selling these fine leather jackets...]]
<JoxAshwood> "Back of girlie... I'm not in the mood to buy trinkets."
<@DMFernin> [[It has been a number of hours since the sun set]]
<Derickt> "Derickts my name"
<JoxAshwood> "Yeah... and who are you...?"
06* JoxAshwood sips his drink
<Taran_Almasy> [[Time to go meditate then, he renews spells at 9 p.m.]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Hmmmmph
<Derickt> "I have a fine set of armor that I have no use for, and would be glad to sell it to someone as daring as yourself for quite a discount"
<JoxAshwood> "I need one stronger Barkeep... I didn't just get a divorce you know!"
<Beauregard_Tau> Hmmmm armor
06* JoxAshwood eyes armor
<JoxAshwood> "I think it'll fit my friend here better."
<Beauregard_Tau> What kind of armor are ya sellin there?
06* Derickt display the scale mail as regally as possible
06* Beauregard_Tau takes a closer look
<JoxAshwood> "...Terrance, HE was brave...."
<Beauregard_Tau> Hmmm looks a bit warn
<Beauregard_Tau> Dammmit they were all great warriors.....
<Derickt> "Battle hardened"
06* Taran_Almasy orders some shishkebabs and heads on his way out after receiving them, looking for a place to meditate and refresh his spellcasting.
06* Beauregard_Tau calls for another drink
<JoxAshwood> "...if I wasn't near that statue I'd have died right then and there for sure! He was unlucky enough to be point bank..."
<JoxAshwood> Adrink for Terrance!
<Beauregard_Tau> Dammit i dont even want to relive it...
<Beauregard_Tau> My whole life has sucked
<Beauregard_Tau> Lets drink to tomorrow!!!
<JoxAshwood> I now it man, how do you think I ended up here?
06* Suzume_Shizuka finds a server and quietly requests a meal of boiled carrots and corn...shakes off the expected request for meat...and politely requests that it not be the cheap stuff they feed to the peasants or swine
<JoxAshwood> To tomorrow!
<@DMFernin> Taran: You receive your food, and are charged 30 copper for it. There is an orchard you can go to, or you can go to the inn.
06* Beauregard_Tau toasts To tomorrow
<JoxAshwood> "Hey, ey, you guys, don't leave... have a seat."
<JoxAshwood> "I'm not in the mod to buy anything, but by the looks of your clothes, you didn't have a skuffle with a cow."
06* Derickt abandons his sales pitch
06* JoxAshwood checks pockets
<JoxAshwood> [[how much GP do I have?]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Well now, how much are ya chargin fer that armor
<Taran_Almasy> To Josh: Prior obligations I'm afraid *nods with a salute and heads off to the inn, leaving a gold piece and letting the serving wench keep the rest as a tip*
<Derickt> "No, we killed a bunch o' gnolls outside the village"
<Suzume_Shizuka> To Derickt: "Everyone has their place, friend...leave commerce to the merchants"
<JoxAshwood> "Ah.. wretched things..."
06* Beauregard_Tau looks around for a barmaid
<@DMFernin> [[You should've started with a 150 gp allowance to purchase your weapons, armor, and gear, Jox, whatever you have leftover is what you have now]]
<Derickt> "Yeah, heard they're havin' a problem with 'em out here"
<Beauregard_Tau> [[shit i forgot how much GP I have left]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Gnolls huh?
<JoxAshwood> "Listen.. no just listen...[[obviously well oiled with booze]] ...we just got back from a terible encounter with the high priest of the church here... that guy killed many of our friends... I need to drinksome before I can even see tomorrow..."
<JoxAshwood> [[I'll say 20GP, I'm not particular about that sutff]]
<JoxAshwood> "Barkeep! How much for a beer?"
<Derickt> "Father Velo?"
<Beauregard_Tau> damn bastards... using black magic.... brainwashing the town..... it was horrible
<JoxAshwood> To Beau: "Was that his name?"
06* Suzume_Shizuka recieves her meal, along with the cup of wine she surely would have remembered to ask for if someone had remembered to type it. She really didn't miss rice...while she understood it was a simple crop to grow, she really admired the variety of foods here in her adopted home. And of course...the wine!
<Beauregard_Tau> Lord Somehting or another...
<Taran_Almasy> [[you've got a PM from me Fernin]]
<@DMFernin> [[yoiks, I think I allowed you guys too much freedom with your backstory...]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka then pays X monies to the apporpriate person
<JoxAshwood> Ah right.. Lord... Veal, or something."
<Taran_Almasy> [[I'll say, reads like you planted them that info for railroading]]
<JoxAshwood> [[serendipity]]
<Derickt> !random 1 20
<@DMFernin> [[I gave them no info whatsoever, actually... I just said, the rest of your team died somehow, make up a story for them]]
<JoxAshwood> "...anyway... this priest, comes out and waves his hands around, nfore I knew it, Draguul was ashes..."
06* Derickt tries piecing things together
<@DMFernin> [[I'm erasing the last few minutes of history, no evil priests, thanks]]
06* Beauregard_Tau is a bit wobbly from ale
<Derickt> [[haha]]
<JoxAshwood> [[wasn't paying attenton anyway]]
<JoxAshwood> [[its a good story and I'm going with it]]
<Taran_Almasy> [["Blame it on the alcohol" my ass]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[whats going on now?]]
<JoxAshwood> [i'm telling htem how a priest killed some people]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[oh okay]]
<JoxAshwood> "So I decided to face him, but Dax stepped in before I could.."
<@DMFernin> [[I gave you too much freedom with the backstory, I never intended for that priest to be evil, and don't want that to turn into a sidestory]]
<JoxAshwood> "I stepped back and BAM! He was fire. All fire I tell ya!"
06* Beauregard_Tau lights up a cigarette
<JoxAshwood> "He ran around until it finally killed him."
<Derickt> "Well gents, I'm tired from my journey. Tomorrow we're gonna try and figure out what's what with these dogs that've been... gnollnapping and killing"
<Beauregard_Tau> [[smoke break lol]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka orders a second cup of the wine...and a third...
<JoxAshwood> "I've gopt a room next to you Beau... we'll figure this out tomorrow I guess."
<Taran_Almasy> [[if you're only getting it in cups, I'd ask for multiples as well]]
06* JoxAshwood orders Suzume a drink too
<Suzume_Shizuka> "No, I'm...fine with this. The air kami...really like it."
06* Suntoer decides he needs rest as well
<JoxAshwood> "How else am I gonna keep you here and listening to the rambling accounts of a halfling? The kind would never heard of it."
<@DMFernin> [[We'll attribute the evil priest story to too much booze, another story of what actually happened will have to be fabricated]]
<JoxAshwood> [[kind=king]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Yer a halfling, Ghandi?]]
<JoxAshwood> Th[[that would be the beauty of the sotry, a deep cover up]]
<Derickt> [[Things that could have been brought to my attention YESTERDAY]]
<JoxAshwood> [[yeah]]
<@DMFernin> [[Keep in mind who is the DM here, Jox]]
<JoxAshwood> [[i'm just a brooding drunk recalling things as I rememebr then]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...You see...people of the earth like you have their earth drinks...and people of the air have their air drinks...this is like...drinking air"
06* Derickt asks the barmaid for some food. "whatever's ready"
<JoxAshwood> "In fact, if it wasn't because I was so close to the door I'd have never gotten out of there alive!"
<JoxAshwood> "..wow Lady... you must have started long bfore I did... where did you say you were from?"
<@DMFernin> The barmaid gives Derickt a bowl of vegetable stew and says, Specialty of the village.
<JoxAshwood> "Hey uh... whats your name? Did you actually kill all the knolls there? Rumor is they in league with this Church."
<Suzume_Shizuka> "I...I suppose I came from the air.". She then has a fit of the giggles. "Get it? From the air? It's funny! Because...it is!"
<Derickt> "How much for the soup?"
06* JoxAshwood laughs
<Taran_Almasy> [[kill the knolls? Tree murderer!!!]]
<JoxAshwood> [[rofl]]
<Derickt> Also, describe said barmaid
<JoxAshwood> [[how muchdoes a beer cost again? I need to substract it from my GP total]]
06* JoxAshwood buys another beer
<JoxAshwood> "Listen, it's bad here. I don't know why you even came here."
06* Suzume_Shizuka orders a fourth, but informs the server that the air spirits told her no more. She may have said half of that in a foreign language...she can't remember right now"
<Taran_Almasy> [[Taran's down for the night guys, I'm just watching the fun now]]
<JoxAshwood> "If I had somehwere else to be I'd be there, but after that incident at the Church I fear I'm in the King's crosshairs."
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Yeah, I'm gonna need a bill too. I think she feels like paying tonight]]
06* JoxAshwood puts her hand back
<JoxAshwood> "I'll cover it." *hiccup8
<JoxAshwood> What did you have?
<@DMFernin> [[Jox, do a fortitude roll... time to check for drunkenness]]
<JoxAshwood> [[20?]]
<@DMFernin> The barmaid tells Derickt that the stew is 4 silver.
<@DMFernin> [[yep, 20]]
<Derickt> [[and what does she look like?]]
<JoxAshwood> !random 1 20
<JoxAshwood> [[Halfing eat and drink a lot... like 8 meals a day

<JoxAshwood> [[one sec]]
<Suntoer> [[what about second breakfast?]]
<JoxAshwood> +1
<@DMFernin> [[Jox is smashed, but not yet drunk to the point of passing out]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Well aren't you a fine little man..." She giggle-fits again. "See, because..." She lapses off into a foreign tounge, then goes back to Common "...with common money. I can do it"
<Derickt> [[I need a charisma score on this barmaid]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[you mean Wisdom, not to fall for it

]]
<@DMFernin> [[The barmaid has a charisma of 18]]
<JoxAshwood> "What did you say Lady? I'm sure I can pay for it.." *checks mhis pouch for money*
06* Derickt gives her a gold piece
<@DMFernin> The bartender looks at Suzume quizzically, and asks Jox if she has had too much.
<Derickt> "I'd also like to order a wake up call. For whenever your shift is over"
<JoxAshwood> "No, I'm fine... I've just had a long day."
<JoxAshwood> "Say, where are you guys going tomorrow? I'm supposed to report on the result of our mission, but I'm thinking it's better I don't with what we uncovered."
<@DMFernin> The bartender scratches his head at your confusing statement, shrugs his shoulders, and says, Well, however your day was, it'll be 24 silver for all those beers you drank, and 2 gold for the lady's wine.
<Beauregard_Tau> [[returns from his cig break]]
06* JoxAshwood drinks more of his beer
06* JoxAshwood pays barkeep
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles "I guess air costs more." She's not really falling down drunk. She's more of that "party girl" drunk. Though not quite to that extreme...she enjoys having uninhibited fun, something 18 years of a repressive society will make it hard to do
06* Beauregard_Tau coughs a bit
<@DMFernin> The barmaid smiles at Derickt, pockets the gold coin, looks at him for a second, shakes her head, and walks away giggling.
<JoxAshwood> "...I an still se him burning..."
<Beauregard_Tau> man I really need to kick that habit
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles. "I was almost burned."
<JoxAshwood> "Beau, I need some rest.... We need to figure out what we're going todo tomorrow."
<Derickt> Is the inn attached to the tavern, or a separate building?
<@DMFernin> Separate building.
<JoxAshwood> [[even better]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "The mean fire spirit was gonna eat me, but..." she points to Derickt..." HE SAVED ME!"
06* Derickt smiles at the barmaid on the way out.
<Derickt> "Name's Derickt."
<JoxAshwood> [[Sigle beer seems to be Xsp. I'm buuying 1 more... -x?]]
06* Derickt heads to the inn
<@DMFernin> [[4 sp for a single beer]]
06* Derickt instruct the innkeeper to show any visitors to his room
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...and now he's off to save another girl, it looks like!"
<JoxAshwood> "Aww... that was nice of him... *looks at Suzume* "What did he do?"
06* JoxAshwood finishes off beer and orders another
<@DMFernin> [[Derickt... are you wearing your guild badge, or is it in your pocket?]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Smooth...
<Derickt> good question. lemme check the log from two weeks ago
<JoxAshwood> [[I wouldnt notice if he was. Tomorrow I will if he still has it on]]
06* Beauregard_Tau orders a pitcher of ale
<@DMFernin> [[Drunkenness check, Jox, that's three beers you've pounded in the last 15 minutes or so...]]
<JoxAshwood> !random 1 20
<Suzume_Shizuka> "He woke me up...then I fell down...then he woke me up." She yawns. "Well, I need to follow them around..."
<Beauregard_Tau> Drink up fellas!
<JoxAshwood> "*sigh* Dax... burned alive..."
<@DMFernin> [[At this point, Jox is beyond smashed, beyond wasted. Slur those words some more

06* Suzume_Shizuka looks at the inkeeper with puppy-dog eyes, and asks as sweetly as she can, in slightly broken Common, "Can I have a room with a bed please? Pretty pleeeeeeeeeeease?"
<Beauregard_Tau> I can't believe we made it out alive...
06* JoxAshwood broods at bar
<Beauregard_Tau> sometimes I wonder why...
<Derickt> [[shall I roll a debauchery check?]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Drunk girl RIGHT OVER HERE, man, and you FAILED.

]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Not that she would, but still]]
<@DMFernin> The innkeeper recognizes Derickt's guild badge, and says another guild member just came in and paid for a room for his team.
<JoxAshwood> "All I have to remember him buy is his... what the hell is this thing Beau?"
06* JoxAshwood holds up buirnt object
06* Beauregard_Tau takes a closer look
<Derickt> "I'd like a private room please"
<@DMFernin> He asks if you're a member of Team Twelve.
03* DMFernin is now known as Innkeeper
<JoxAshwood> [[who?]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Shit.... it's his amulet
<Derickt> I am
<Derickt> [[er]]
06* Beauregard_Tau wipes off some of the ash
<Derickt> "I am"
<JoxAshwood> "His amulet? well, at least it's not totally damaged.."
06* JoxAshwood pockets it
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Is this before or after I get there, by the way?]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Hell its just fire damage.... His spirit lives on!
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Ghandi, Doc, I think you may be taking one too many liberties with this backstory thing.

]]
<JoxAshwood> "I had to get it while that Priest's back was turned... there was nothing else left."
06* JoxAshwood frowns
<Beauregard_Tau> [[My bad.... shall we move the story forward?]]
<@Innkeeper> [[This is still before Suzume gets to the inn, Derickt left before you did]]
<JoxAshwood> [[yeah?]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Oh, I thought we had an Inn-Tavern thing going]]
<JoxAshwood> [[i'm still brooding at teh bar]]
06* JoxAshwood sips beer
<Beauregard_Tau> [[Where's my pitcher dammit]]
<@Innkeeper> It's 50 sp for the night, if you want a private room
<JoxAshwood> "We have to go back wirth something you know Beau."
<Beauregard_Tau> Hmmmm
06* Beauregard_Tau thinks about what Jox said...
<Beauregard_Tau> We need a dog
06* Derickt drops 5 gold on the counter
<JoxAshwood> "Where dowe get a dog?"
<@Innkeeper> [[Your pitcher is served. Cough up the 10 sp for it, and the 16 sp for all the other beers you've had already]]
<@Innkeeper> [[The innkeeper looks from the gold to you, then back at the gold again.]]

<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Fernin may be miscounting, or this is one helluva inflated economy]]
<@Innkeeper> [[...Silly me, I thought it was 100 sil in a gold... curse those WoW days]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[sp are dimes, and cp are pennies, though the perceived value of them is much higher]]
<Derickt> "And remember, if anyone comes in looking for me, send them to my room"
<Beauregard_Tau> Hmmm, I'm sure they sell dogs somewhere in this town...
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I assume we can knock a tens digit off these prices?
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Except my 4G of apparenly awesome wine?

]]
<Beauregard_Tau> We'll figure it out in the morning...
<@Innkeeper> [[meh, I don't usually deal with the prices of these things, ask Fred sometime...]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Can I get there now?]]
<Derickt> [[yeah, 4sp for a bowl of stew is insane]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka looks at the inkeeper with puppy-dog eyes, and asks as sweetly as she can, in slightly broken Common, "Can I have a room with a bed please? Pretty pleeeeeeeeeeease?"
<Beauregard_Tau> [[I could go for a bowl of chili lol]]
<@Innkeeper> [[Suzume has arrived at the inn, and the innkeeper greets her.]]
<Suntoer> [[holy shit there is a crazy thunderstorm here]]
06* Beauregard_Tau slaps Jox around a bit
<Beauregard_Tau> Hey, we need to finish our beer dammit
<Taran_Almasy> [[you live in the Southeast eh?]]
<JoxAshwood> "Yeah... who knows what will happen tomorrow, but I can't think aboutit now."
<@Innkeeper> [[What has Suntoer been doing all this time, anyway? Drinking? Sitting at a table? Just standing there?]]

<Suntoer> [[hanging out]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Well those two folks seemed alright... Wonder where they're headed off to
<@Innkeeper> For you, young lady, a room will be 30 silver.
<Suzume_Shizuka> (30, or 3?)
<JoxAshwood> "Hey, you Gnoll people.. what brought you back to town? Yoiu could have left."
<@Innkeeper> [[dack, 3]]
<@Innkeeper> [[Only Suntoer is left in the tavern with you, Jox]]
<Derickt> [[so was mine supposed to be 5sp?]]
<JoxAshwood> [[maybe seeing double]]
<@Innkeeper> [[yeah, 5sp works]]
<Derickt> [[ok]]
<@Innkeeper> [[cut that 4 sp down to 4cp]]
<@Innkeeper> [[for the stew, that is]]
<Suntoer> I'll take any accommodations you have.
<Beauregard_Tau> [[was suntoer in the party with the gnolls too?]]
<Derickt> [[I still gave the barmaid a gold though]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka decides to turn on the charm a bit. "That's an awful lot of it...can't you find a way to go a litttttttttttle lower? For me? I won't forget it, I promise... (rolling Diplomacy)
<@Innkeeper> [[Apparently Suntower is quite drunk, he just asked the barkeeper for a room]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> !random 1 20

<Suzume_Shizuka> ...7 total
06* Suntoer groans
06* Suntoer heads to the inn
06* Suzume_Shizuka was apparently a bit too drunk to try that one out
06* Beauregard_Tau takes a long chug of his beer
<Suntoer> Give me a room!
<JoxAshwood> [[rofl]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Well.... I'm still thinking about that armor that one guy was peddlin'...
<@Innkeeper> The innkeeper isn't swayed by your pleading, and doesn't change his price.
<JoxAshwood> [[overtrying female wiles, Hawk would have LOVED that one]]
<Derickt> [[innkeeper wets himself]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Scale mail he said?
<@Innkeeper> [[He turns to the person who just entered, and sees the guild badge.]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[don't forget to save the log]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka pouts and hands over the shinies
06* JoxAshwood finishes his beer off
<Beauregard_Tau> I've become accustomed to my hide.... it's a bit worn now though...
<@Innkeeper> ...I can only hope you're with Team Twelve, there's a room already prepared for you.
06* Beauregard_Tau takes another drink...
06* Beauregard_Tau slams his mug down
06* Suntoer heads to the room
<Suzume_Shizuka> Did you see a pretty guy come in here? Bald, no face, naked? (insert Derickt's actual description)
<JoxAshwood> "Well, Beau, Lady, and you... whoever you are... I must retire... but if you see the need for servies of myself and my drunk friend here, don't *hiccup* feel shyasking..."
<Beauregard_Tau> Man that Derickt sure is a smooth fella
06* JoxAshwood finishes his beer off
<Beauregard_Tau> Sure thing Jox, I need a minute to think things over
<Suzume_Shizuka> [["Lady" left a while ago]]
<JoxAshwood> "Where did she go...?"
<Derickt> [[shall I roll my charisma against the barmaid's wisdom?]]
<Beauregard_Tau> do what you need to do...
<JoxAshwood> "Beau... I willsee you tomorrow.. we have to figure something out."
<@Innkeeper> Yes, a man with that description came and rented a room for himself.

<JoxAshwood> "What are we going to do Beau? "
<JoxAshwood> [[rofl]]
<@DMFernin> The innkeeper looks at you, and wonders why you're asking for rooms when Team Thirteen already secured rooms.
03* Suzume_Shizuka is now known as UsaSatsui
