[7/8/2016 7:02:18
PM] DM: Last time, you guys met with Anna's sort of, kind of
husband...not really

[7/8/2016 7:02:28
PM] DM: Creed beat death in a chess match

[7/8/2016 7:02:51
PM] DM: And you found out Janis is actually Verenestra, one of the
most powerful archfey of all time, or so you would assume.

[7/8/2016 7:03:00
PM] DM: Let's pick up from there, shall we?

[7/8/2016 7:03:55
PM] DM: Verenestra, now seen in her archfey form, seemingly made of
pure light and flowers turns to William.

[7/8/2016 7:04:26
PM] DM: V: "You're whole job is to keep people from bothering
me. How are you so bad at it?"

[7/8/2016 7:04:53 PM
isn't a Fae queen, raise your hand.

[7/8/2016 7:04:56
PM] Anna: Well, this is a new and different type of horror than the
possibility that if I don't word my statements correctly, a currently
civil person would tear me to bits to allow his dead beau to reform
on her home plane.

[7/8/2016 7:04:56
PM] \*\*\* Quill raises his hand. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:05:02
PM] \*\*\* Rune raises her hand. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:05:10
PM] \*\*\* Creed raises her hand \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:05:18
PM] \*\*\* Anna shakily raises a hand. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:05:19
PM] \*\*\* Hank raises his hand \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:05:25
PM] Rune: ... would that actually happen?

[7/8/2016 7:05:30
PM] DM: William raises his hand.

[7/8/2016 7:05:48
PM] DM: Lyv does so too, but looks really concerned about doing it.

[7/8/2016 7:06:46
PM] Anna: It was based a theory that I desperately hoped was false,
but I still have no indication either way.

[7/8/2016 7:07:04
PM] DM: Veren: "Question, why exactly are you here?"

[7/8/2016 7:07:21
PM] DM: Veren: "Actually, better question."

[7/8/2016 7:07:27
PM] DM: Veren: "Why don't you leave?"

[7/8/2016 7:07:30
PM] Rune: Well, if only one of you can be alive at a time and there
isn't any way to take turns I really think you should try very hard
to not die.

[7/8/2016 7:07:48
PM] Hank: How about one in response. Why exactly is Titania's
symbol on every guard badge?

[7/8/2016 7:08:37
PM] DM: Veren: "The guards were ill-equipped to handle
everything that was about to come to this city. So, I gave them a
conduit to my mom."

[7/8/2016 7:08:56
PM] Quill: I have an additional question; mostly for William. Why
shouldn't I quit this job right now?

[7/8/2016 7:09:04
PM] DM: Veren: "She gets some new followers, and the guard can
better do their job."

[7/8/2016 7:09:17
PM] DM: William: "Why would you want to quit?"

[7/8/2016 7:09:31
PM] Rune: I don't really understand why fae have to keep meddling and
meddling with us.

[7/8/2016 7:09:39
PM] Hank: And why not inform people. And wait what is going to
happen to the city.

[7/8/2016 7:09:48
PM] Quill: The last couple days have been extremely trying.

[7/8/2016 7:10:17
PM] DM: William: "In my defense, most of that was completely
outside of my instructions or knowledge."

[7/8/2016 7:10:59
PM] DM: Veren: "The city became a dumping ground for any
planar travelers out there. One way in, no way out. And most of
them not nice."

[7/8/2016 7:11:07
PM] DM: Veren: "And I haven't meddled with any of you."

[7/8/2016 7:12:09
PM] Hank: Why did the city become that and why set yourself up as a
guard captain?

[7/8/2016 7:12:53
PM] DM: Veren: "Because 80 years ago a bunch of cultist
assholes tried to turn this into hell and give birth to a devil god."

[7/8/2016 7:13:00
PM] DM: Veren: "Hence your basement."

[7/8/2016 7:13:48
PM] Rune: I don't think it's very nice to trick people into
worshipping something.

[7/8/2016 7:14:13
PM] Creed: (( For everyone's reference, Creed is very quiet. ))

[7/8/2016 7:14:48
PM] DM: Verenestra goes back to her gardening. "Worship is
about perspective. At the end of the day, they worship the city. My
mother's mark just gives that actual meaning."

[7/8/2016 7:15:05
PM] DM: Verenestra: "Don't like it, quit."

[7/8/2016 7:15:36
PM] Rune: At the end of the day, we've been messed about with by
three archfey, Death, a very scary angel and a goddess.

[7/8/2016 7:15:39
PM] Hank: And why set yourself up as a guard captain don't you have
better things to do? Why stick here with the tree?

[7/8/2016 7:16:21
PM] DM: Taeral: "Yes, I'm confused on that point to. If
you're a queen, don't you have lands to run, people to subjugate,
etc?"

[7/8/2016 7:16:24
PM] Rune: An even scarier goddess.

[7/8/2016 7:16:43
PM] DM: Veren: "Again, I didn't do anything to you."

[7/8/2016 7:17:14
PM] Rune: I guess it was technically your priest.

[7/8/2016 7:17:16
PM] Hank: But you have done stuff too this city for an unknown
purpose for 80 years

[7/8/2016 7:17:19
PM] \*\*\* Rune eyes William. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:17:35
PM] DM: William says nothing.

[7/8/2016 7:18:12 PM
defend itself, something William suggested to begin with. Otherwise,
my purpose is to live here, quietly, and \*alone\*."

[7/8/2016 7:19:11
PM] Hank: Why choose havenfall for that and why is A queen living
alone. You have to realize how suspicious and shady this sounds.

[7/8/2016 7:19:42
PM] DM: Verenestra throws down her gardening basket.

[7/8/2016 7:19:50
PM] Rune: Maybe she doesn't want to do all that ruling stuff. Not
everybody likes that sort of thing.

[7/8/2016 7:20:51
PM] DM: Verenestra: "Cause here's where the rift was! I
didn't open the gate, I just took the opportunity! I don't plan!
I'm not a schemer, or a plotter! I don't have some grand machination
for your world, or my world or anything! Shit just showed up!"

[7/8/2016 7:22:22
PM] DM: Verenestra turns to William. "Next time you don't
want to answer a question, just don't answer it! You're my warrior,
don't fork your problems on me."

[7/8/2016 7:22:54
PM] Rune: Well what was he supposed to do!

[7/8/2016 7:23:21
PM] Rune: We're entangled with two other archfey at this point, he
probably just thought it would be simpler to be honest and you know
what, it usually is.

[7/8/2016 7:24:14
PM] Rune: If you just want to be left alone for now we'll leave you
alone, just don't blast us, or turn us into hamsters, or hurt
William's tree, and before you say you would never do that, we
haven't had very good experiences with archfey! Even the winter lady
was scary.

[7/8/2016 7:24:28
PM] Rune: and the Marquis was horrible.

[7/8/2016 7:24:40
PM] DM: Verenestra's face changes.

[7/8/2016 7:24:46
PM] Rune: And I'm positive we'll go home and find Damh, WHICH IS
SPELLED WITH AN M, BY THE WAY, in our sock drawers!

[7/8/2016 7:24:51
PM] Rune: Because that's the sort of day this has been!

[7/8/2016 7:25:12
PM] Hank: Speaking of do you know what the Marquis plan was?

[7/8/2016 7:25:22
PM] DM: Rune, make a persuasion check.

[7/8/2016 7:25:26
PM] DM: :)

[7/8/2016 7:25:35
PM] DM: Hank, you too.

[7/8/2016 7:25:55
PM] DM: ((Dammit))

[7/8/2016 7:26:05
PM] DM: ((Stupid convincing Rune))

[7/8/2016 7:26:05
PM] Rune: ... but thank you for the fruit.

[7/8/2016 7:26:56
PM] DM: Verenestra: "...thank you. First, I would never, ever
hurt William's tree. Second...you'd make a cute hamster."

[7/8/2016 7:26:59
PM] Rune: ((She's just saying you shouldn't trust a guy named Dave if
he spells it with an M, that's all.))

[7/8/2016 7:27:26
PM] Rune: ((And she's quite right!))

[7/8/2016 7:28:20
PM] DM: Verenestra: "Frankly, my sister, my brother, the
Marquis...I don't care. The Marquis was probably gonna try and get
to the tree, and now he can't, so...they can all just kill each
other."

[7/8/2016 7:28:41
PM] Rune: I like that idea, as long as they don't do it here.

[7/8/2016 7:28:51
PM] DM: William: "Ditto."

[7/8/2016 7:29:13
PM] Rune: ... and I think it would be fun to be try being a hamster
or a cat like Anna, but not on a permanent basis, and I want to be
able to change back myself.

[7/8/2016 7:29:33
PM] DM: Lyv: "...fuck you."

[7/8/2016 7:29:40
PM] DM: Veren: "...excuse me."

[7/8/2016 7:30:26
PM] DM: Lyv: "...you get to live here in your private little
garden...fuck you! That's my people back home, dying, and you can't
be fucking bothered?!?"

[7/8/2016 7:31:20
PM] Rune: ... to be fair, the winter Lady did try to be nice to us.
It's just that she's scary. And Lyv, are you saying you want another
archfey involved in a competitive war for the whole feywild?

[7/8/2016 7:31:58
PM] Rune: Scheming and making alliances and breaking them? If she
allied with Dave-with-an-M, that would be bad for the winter Lady.

[7/8/2016 7:32:10
PM] DM: Lyv: "I want it over. She's related to both of them.
She can do it!"

[7/8/2016 7:32:46
PM] DM: Lyv: "You hate both side, fine! But at least stop
acting like you're not touched here!"

[7/8/2016 7:32:53
PM] DM: Lyv starts to tear up.

[7/8/2016 7:33:04
PM] \*\*\* Rune offers Lyv a clean handkerchief. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:33:30
PM] DM: Veren: "I tried that, it didn't work."

[7/8/2016 7:34:15
PM] Rune: I'm just not sure it would be better with another major
player added in, but I don't know anything about the situation really
either. Just, you know. Wars don't usually get better when another
country joins in.

[7/8/2016 7:34:46
PM] DM: Lyv takes the handkerchief and walks away.

[7/8/2016 7:35:19
PM] Rune: I think we should probably go home and stop pestering the
Summer Lady, but I did have one other question.

[7/8/2016 7:35:29
PM] DM: Veren: "What?"

[7/8/2016 7:36:07
PM] Rune: Do archfey date? Asking for a friend. An actual friend. Who
isn't me. I don't like girls, or terrifyingly powerful archfey. I
don't think.

[7/8/2016 7:36:14
PM] Quill: ((Back, sorry.))

[7/8/2016 7:36:26
PM] DM: ((Your wife ran off in tears :P))

[7/8/2016 7:36:49
PM] DM: Veren: "...you desperately want me to turn you into a
hamster, don't you?"

[7/8/2016 7:37:52
PM] Rune: No, it was an actual question.

[7/8/2016 7:37:59
PM] Rune: If I wanted to be a hamster I'd ask to be a hamster.

[7/8/2016 7:38:18
PM] DM: Veren: "I'm not interested. Thanks."

[7/8/2016 7:38:26
PM] Rune: In anyone?

[7/8/2016 7:38:49
PM] DM: Veren: "In dating."

[7/8/2016 7:39:08
PM] \*\*\* Quill follows Lyv out, still having not had an answer to his
question. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:39:15
PM] Rune: Fair enough.

[7/8/2016 7:39:25
PM] Hank: Let's go before she decides we would make better mulch
than employees.

[7/8/2016 7:39:31
PM] DM: ((What was your question?))

[7/8/2016 7:39:45
PM] DM: Veren: "I can make you both."

[7/8/2016 7:40:03
PM] DM: Veren: "Fertilizer Golems, very useful."

[7/8/2016 7:40:07
PM] Rune: At least we don't have to worry about the Marquis courting
one of us.

[7/8/2016 7:41:28
PM] DM: William seems to ponder this for a moment, then gets the
most horrified look on his face.

[7/8/2016 7:41:31
PM] Rune: Probably Creed, she's the only one with a title.

[7/8/2016 7:42:00
PM] DM: ((I think Quill is on the mother of all delays...either
that or he got called away again))

[7/8/2016 7:42:32
PM] DM: ((one sec, I need to move))

[7/8/2016 7:44:34
PM] \*\*\* Rune says to William, "\*Exactly.\*" \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:44:39
PM] DM: ((back))

[7/8/2016 7:45:32
PM] Rune: ((Oh, Quill asked why he shouldn't quit this job.))

[7/8/2016 7:45:56
PM] DM: ((Are you guys walking away))

[7/8/2016 7:46:22
PM] \*\*\* Rune isn't. Quill and Lyv did. Anna and Creed and Hank are
presumably still here. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:47:04
PM] \*\*\* Anna is sort of edging away, but likely won't leave entirely
until the others do. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:47:17
PM] Rune: ... I'll try to get him to stay but you had better give him
some kind of a reason too, you know. I'm still afraid he's going to
stay with the Winter Lady in some daft attempt to keep the rest of us
safe.

[7/8/2016 7:48:28
PM] Creed: (( Creed will leave with the rest if everyone leaves, but
she still hasn't said a word, and doesn't look like she will be. ))

[7/8/2016 7:49:12
PM] DM: Verenestra: "He wouldn't like it. My sister is not as
nice as she tries to put on."

[7/8/2016 7:49:48
PM] DM: William: "You're all part of my group, I will talk to
him. Try and convince him he's safer here then on his own."

[7/8/2016 7:49:59
PM] \*\*\* Rune bows awkwardly to Verenestra and then departs after
Quill. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:50:35
PM] \*\*\* Hank follows Rune \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 7:50:44
PM] DM: Ok, you guys catch up to Lyv and Quill pretty quickly.

[7/8/2016 7:51:38
PM] DM: William: "Quill. I...um...your question."

[7/8/2016 7:51:49
PM] Quill: Hmm?

[7/8/2016 7:52:53 PM
deceive you. I...I am unsure what you want, exactly."

[7/8/2016 7:53:57
PM] Quill: Nothing, really. I mean, you're not wrong, a lot of
what's been going on has nothing to do with you, this was just the
proverbial straw.

[7/8/2016 7:54:19
PM] Quill: I don't know if it's wise for me to be entangled, even
tangentially, to two Fae queens.

[7/8/2016 7:54:29
PM] Rune: And a marquis.

[7/8/2016 7:55:22
PM] DM: William: "...I appreciate that, but, so long as you
are, Verenestra does have an interest in protecting you, which makes
you much safer here than on your own."

[7/8/2016 7:56:07
PM] DM: William: "The captain can be...difficult, but she
listens to my advice, and I do believe continuing to assist us would
benefit you in the long run."

[7/8/2016 7:56:34
PM] Quill: You're hardly unbiased here, William.

[7/8/2016 7:56:49
PM] Rune: I'm sorry she said no.

[7/8/2016 7:56:50
PM] DM: William: "That...is very true."

[7/8/2016 7:57:10
PM] DM: William turns to Rune. "What?"

[7/8/2016 7:57:16
PM] Rune: Oh, about the dating.

[7/8/2016 7:58:02
PM] DM: William groans. "Next time I see her I am going to
suggest you become a hamster. A mute hamster."

[7/8/2016 7:58:13
PM] Rune: Well I don't think she knew I meant you.

[7/8/2016 7:58:38
PM] DM: William: "Hank, I hope you found your answer
satisfactory."

[7/8/2016 7:59:02
PM] Rune: ((What time is it in-game?))

[7/8/2016 7:59:20
PM] DM: ((Late afternoon, getting mad close to evening))

[7/8/2016 7:59:47
PM] Hank: Yes

[7/8/2016 8:00:52
PM] Rune: We could still go to a pub.

[7/8/2016 8:01:15
PM] DM: Taeral: "We could."

[7/8/2016 8:02:07
PM] Hank: I would like to check on my father first but I can do that
alone and meet you at a pub.

[7/8/2016 8:02:07
PM] Creed: "It is the perfect time to."

[7/8/2016 8:02:13
PM] DM: William: "Rune, if you are still up for secretarial
work, I shall have some files sent over to your headquarters with
instructions."

[7/8/2016 8:02:32
PM] DM: William: "Nothing immediate."

[7/8/2016 8:02:51
PM] Rune: I'm up for it. Just make sure there are good instructions.

[7/8/2016 8:03:08
PM] DM: William: "Trust me, I am good at that."

[7/8/2016 8:03:16
PM] Rune: I don't know. Lyv, would you rather go home?

[7/8/2016 8:03:37
PM] Hank: Also William do you have any other information on the drug
thing tomorrow or only argesh's information.

[7/8/2016 8:03:42
PM] Rune: And I don't think you should go anywhere alone, Hank.

[7/8/2016 8:03:45
PM] DM: Lyv: "I am told drinking can help you forget your
problems. ...that sounds like what I need right now."

[7/8/2016 8:04:09
PM] DM: William: "I couldn't get anything confirmed, but I
don't think it's krrf they're smuggling."

[7/8/2016 8:04:14
PM] Hank: Not even my moms house... Wow.

[7/8/2016 8:04:37
PM] DM: William: "It is definitely powder, like krrf, but...I
keep getting conflicting reports."

[7/8/2016 8:04:54
PM] DM: William: "That's why I want you there. In case it
turns out to be something worse."

[7/8/2016 8:05:14
PM] Rune: No. Well remember that creepy guy was trying to get into
your head. I can go with you and just wait at the door if you want.

[7/8/2016 8:05:23
PM] \*\*\* Rune pats Lyv on the shoulder. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:05:40
PM] Rune: If we go there it'll definitely be something worse,
William.

[7/8/2016 8:06:06
PM] DM: William: "...there's logic to that."

[7/8/2016 8:06:19
PM] DM: William: "All the same."

[7/8/2016 8:06:33
PM] DM: William: "Better safe than sorry."

[7/8/2016 8:07:00
PM] DM: Lyv: "We can go to the pub I was working at. I know
the way, and no one will recognize me now."

[7/8/2016 8:07:09
PM] Rune: All right.

[7/8/2016 8:07:34
PM] \*\*\* Rune eyes Creed. "You're awfully quiet. You could have
helped back there, you know, you're the one who actually knows how to
talk to royalty." \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:07:53
PM] Creed: "I've told you before, I don't try dealing with fae."

[7/8/2016 8:09:11
PM] DM: Lyv: "...should I be insulted?"

[7/8/2016 8:09:12
PM] Rune: I don't think any of us were trying to. Does that mean
you're quitting?

[7/8/2016 8:09:37
PM] Creed: "Don't misunderstand. I don't talk to fae that can
actually do something"

[7/8/2016 8:10:01
PM] Creed: "You can be offended if you'd like, Lyv, but we've
already been over this the first time you appeared before me."

[7/8/2016 8:10:50
PM] DM: Lyv: "I don't remember that much, honestly. I
remember you running out into the rain and coming back looking like a
drowned rat."

[7/8/2016 8:11:12
PM] DM: Lyv: "You can be offended by that, if you like."

[7/8/2016 8:11:31
PM] \*\*\* Quill is quiet. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:11:33
PM] Rune: Besides, Lyv can do things. She's bodyguarding Quill. She
was going to fight an angel for him.

[7/8/2016 8:12:04
PM] Creed: "I have better things to do with my time than be
provoked by a fae , though I appreciate the thought."

[7/8/2016 8:12:25
PM] Hank: I think tensions are running a little high let's head over
to a pub and try to relax.

[7/8/2016 8:12:36
PM] DM: Taeral: "You know what makes situations like this
better, alcohol. Let us acquire some!"

[7/8/2016 8:12:48
PM] DM: Taeral: "My thoughts exactly, Hank."

[7/8/2016 8:13:13
PM] Anna: A change of scene may help.

[7/8/2016 8:14:27
PM] Rune: All right. I don't really drink, though.

[7/8/2016 8:14:42
PM] DM: Taeral: "I don't either...well...anymore."

[7/8/2016 8:15:03
PM] Rune: We could still try pouring it on you.

[7/8/2016 8:15:21
PM] DM: Taeral: "...how would that help?"

[7/8/2016 8:15:44
PM] Rune: Well, sometimes things affect you even though you're in a
glass ball. The sewage did.

[7/8/2016 8:15:46
PM] Anna: I can but it feels really weird.

[7/8/2016 8:16:58
PM] Rune: Well, it sounds like we're going to split up into groups
again. I'll go with Hank to his house just in case; then we'll meet
you back at the pub. What about the rest of you?

[7/8/2016 8:17:26
PM] DM: Lyv: "I vote for just going straight to the pub."

[7/8/2016 8:17:54
PM] \*\*\* Quill shrugs. "Pub, I suppose." \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:18:13
PM] DM: Taeral: "I'll go with Hank and Rune, I guess."

[7/8/2016 8:18:30
PM] Rune: Creed and Anna?

[7/8/2016 8:19:01
PM] DM: Taeral: "If you go to see Death, can you leave a note
behind? Just so we know and don't panic?"

[7/8/2016 8:19:06
PM] Creed: (( I'm back ))

[7/8/2016 8:19:39
PM] Anna: I'll join you all at the pub, I suppose.

[7/8/2016 8:19:44
PM] Rune: That's a good idea. We should make some bars for you to
bring with next time.

[7/8/2016 8:19:50
PM] Creed: "I don't need to see death again, it hasn't even been
a day yet."

[7/8/2016 8:20:29
PM] \*\*\* Rune nods. "Pub or Hank's mum's?" \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:20:57
PM] Creed: "Mmm..." Creed ponders for a few moments. "Pub."

[7/8/2016 8:21:30
PM] DM: Lyv: "Ok, we'll see you there."

[7/8/2016 8:22:09
PM] Quill: Try not to to die, you guys.

[7/8/2016 8:22:31
PM] \*\*\* Rune nods. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:22:46
PM] Rune: Always.

[7/8/2016 8:22:59
PM] Hank: It's my moms house not the morgue it will be fine.

[7/8/2016 8:23:03 PM

[7/8/2016 8:23:10
PM] DM: Lyv: "You guys take the carriage. We can walk to the
pub from here."

[7/8/2016 8:23:47
PM] \*\*\* Quill sounds unconvinced, but heads toward the pub. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:24:05
PM] Hank: Thanks we will be back soon.

[7/8/2016 8:25:00
PM] \*\*\* Rune sticks with Hank. And Taeral. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:26:00
PM] DM: Ok, one half of you walks over to the Scaled Stallion.
It's getting a little raucous, but it's a somewhat higher end bar,
nobody too threatening looks to be there.

[7/8/2016 8:26:32
PM] DM: Lyv runs up and orders a row of shots.

[7/8/2016 8:26:59
PM] \*\*\* Quill finds a table. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:27:35
PM] DM: The place, like before, is filled mostly with Dragonborn,
by the way. You get a sense, that's their main audience.

[7/8/2016 8:29:57
PM] Quill: Busy night. I wonder if they all found out they were
working for a Fae queen too.

[7/8/2016 8:30:32
PM] DM: Lyv comes back with the shots. Three to a person. Even
Anna.

[7/8/2016 8:30:56
PM] DM: Lyv: "These are supposed to be really good. Also burn
like crazy, but really good."

[7/8/2016 8:31:52
PM] Quill: All right, then.

[7/8/2016 8:32:04
PM] \*\*\* Quill holds up one of the shots. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:32:21
PM] Quill: To we who are kind of fucked.

[7/8/2016 8:33:06
PM] DM: Lyv raises to that.

[7/8/2016 8:33:07
PM] Anna: And not in the fun way, either, as an old friend would say.

[7/8/2016 8:33:19
PM] \*\*\* Creed holds up one "To we who are engaged in things we
wish we weren't." \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:34:17
PM] \*\*\* Quill downs the shot. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:34:24
PM] \*\*\* Creed follows suit \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:34:42
PM] DM: Lyv drinks

[7/8/2016 8:34:48
PM] \*\*\* Anna also quaffs one of her three. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:34:59
PM] DM: They weren't kidding, it does burn on the way down.

[7/8/2016 8:35:14
PM] DM: Anna, you think it may have hastened some rusting inside
you.

[7/8/2016 8:35:37
PM] Quill: Ahhhh. Not bad.

[7/8/2016 8:36:27
PM] DM: Lyv: "This is just the start girls...and Quill."

[7/8/2016 8:36:42
PM] DM: Lyv: "Tonight, I don't plan to leave until someone has
to carry me out."

[7/8/2016 8:37:02
PM] Creed: "And if you're the last one standing?"

[7/8/2016 8:37:06
PM] Quill: That's the spirit.

[7/8/2016 8:37:18
PM] Creed: (( pun located ))

[7/8/2016 8:37:52
PM] DM: Lyv: "Then I'll carry the rest of you out."

[7/8/2016 8:38:18
PM] DM: Lyv downs her next shot in an almost challenging fashion.

[7/8/2016 8:39:25
PM] Anna: I'm not sure if I'll pass out, but my joints may lock up.
That last shot feels like it added a layer of rust somewhere.

[7/8/2016 8:40:49
PM] \*\*\* Creed takes the next shot, feelin thirsty. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:41:20
PM] Quill: Well, just turn into a bear if you start getting too
stiff.

[7/8/2016 8:41:26
PM] Quill: Bears can drink.

[7/8/2016 8:42:10
PM] DM: Creed, now, make a CON save.

[7/8/2016 8:42:12
PM] \*\*\* Anna downs her second. "Good point." \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:42:22
PM] DM: Anna, CON save from you too.

[7/8/2016 8:43:41
PM] DM: Both of you find it a little stronger than you
remember...but you hold it down well enough.

[7/8/2016 8:45:18
PM] \*\*\* Quill looks around at the crowd in the bar, sizing them up.
\*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:45:47
PM] DM: Roll...Insight, I guess? Depends on what you're looking
for in particular.

[7/8/2016 8:46:10
PM] Quill: What the mood in the bar is, generally.

[7/8/2016 8:46:20
PM] DM: Ok, then yeah, insight.

[7/8/2016 8:47:23
PM] Quill: (( 9 ))

[7/8/2016 8:51:00
PM] Creed: Creed will take the next hit, again.

[7/8/2016 8:51:07
PM] DM: Roll CON

[7/8/2016 8:51:12
PM] DM: Lyv joins you.

[7/8/2016 8:51:24
PM] Creed: (( better than last time, 10 ))

[7/8/2016 8:51:51
PM] DM: Lyv knocks back her shot, seemingly without error. You
quiver a little, but seem to keep your wits about you.

[7/8/2016 8:52:07
PM] \*\*\* Anna downs the last of her three. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:52:14
PM] DM: Roll CON

[7/8/2016 8:52:43
PM] DM: Anna, you do not take this one well at all. You are
starting to feel some gears seize up.

[7/8/2016 8:53:58
PM] \*\*\* Anna 's left eye clicks on and then back off again. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:54:05
PM] DM: Lyv: "...you know, I think they were overselling these
things. I don't feel--"

[7/8/2016 8:54:12
PM] DM: Lyv passes out on the table.

[7/8/2016 8:54:18
PM] Creed: "Uh oh.."

[7/8/2016 8:54:25
PM] DM: ((Natural fucking 1))

[7/8/2016 8:54:31
PM] Creed: (( LOL ))

[7/8/2016 8:54:44
PM] Quill: I guess she won the race.

[7/8/2016 8:54:50
PM] \*\*\* Creed puts an arm up \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 8:54:54
PM] Creed: "Winner."

[7/8/2016 8:55:11
PM] DM: Lyv: "...hic...I...wassa...bleh...."

[7/8/2016 8:55:26
PM] DM: She just hangs limply from her arm.

[7/8/2016 8:56:41
PM] Quill: My bodyguard, ladies.

[7/8/2016 8:57:17
PM] DM: Incidentally, as you raised her hand and shouted "winner",
everyone in the bar held up a glass and cheered.

[7/8/2016 8:57:47
PM] Creed: "Quill, I need you to do me a favor."

[7/8/2016 8:58:16
PM] Quill: Ask away. I've only had one. I'm still pretty much all
here.

[7/8/2016 8:59:17
PM] Creed: "Make sure no one takes from me if I pass out."
she says, whispering to him.

[7/8/2016 8:59:31
PM] Creed: "Now, who's next?!" She shouts to the rest of
the tavern.

[7/8/2016 9:00:03
PM] Quill: No problem.

[7/8/2016 9:02:53
PM] DM: A waitress comes by with three massive tankards of
something alcoholic.

[7/8/2016 9:03:42
PM] DM: Waitress: "From the gentlemen at the bar."

[7/8/2016 9:04:04
PM] DM: Those who turn will see three dragonborn looking you over.
One green, one red, one silver.

[7/8/2016 9:04:09
PM] Creed: "Well, it's not a drinking game if they're halfway
across the bar."

[7/8/2016 9:05:19 PM

[7/8/2016 9:06:38
PM] Creed: Creed does.

[7/8/2016 9:07:09
PM] DM: They come over. The green one sits next to Quill, Red with
Creed, Silver with Anna.

[7/8/2016 9:07:17
PM] Creed: (( lmfksd ))

[7/8/2016 9:07:29
PM] DM: ((What?))

[7/8/2016 9:07:38
PM] Creed: (( No no, nothing. ))

[7/8/2016 9:07:57
PM] DM: ((Cat?))

[7/8/2016 9:08:10
PM] Rune: ((Mew? I mean, what cat? I'm not a cat.))

[7/8/2016 9:08:17
PM] DM: ((Or, did Creed just realize what was going on? :) ))

[7/8/2016 9:09:09
PM] DM: Silver turns to Anna. "H-Hey. So...come here often?"

[7/8/2016 9:09:31
PM] Creed: (( Essentially. ))

[7/8/2016 9:10:46
PM] Anna: Not really. This is only the second time I've been here.
Nice place, though.

[7/8/2016 9:11:23
PM] DM: Red: "Yeah, it is right. So...did we just miss a
drinking contest? Who's up for round two?"

[7/8/2016 9:11:37
PM] DM: Green looks over at Quill. "Someone still seems to be
on round one."

[7/8/2016 9:11:49
PM] Creed: "Well, it wouldn't be fair unless you also had three
shots of the same thing we had first."

[7/8/2016 9:12:01
PM] Creed: "Gotta get on the same level, you know?"

[7/8/2016 9:12:22
PM] Creed: (( I can roll persuasion if you need ))

[7/8/2016 9:12:47
PM] DM: Yeah, do that.

[7/8/2016 9:12:48
PM] \*\*\* Quill chuckles at the green. "Not playing, myself."
\*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:12:54
PM] Quill: ((Are they all male?))

[7/8/2016 9:13:33 PM
and females don't...differentiate physically as much as they do with
mammals.))

[7/8/2016 9:14:14
PM] Anna: [I have to go afk for a bit. Anna will be a bit cautious,
but will continue drinking]

[7/8/2016 9:14:36
PM] DM: ((Ok))

[7/8/2016 9:14:44
PM] DM: Creed, roll persuasion.

[7/8/2016 9:16:41
PM] Creed: (( 15 ))

[7/8/2016 9:17:52
PM] DM: Red smiles. "You got it. Yo! Barkeep! Three for
each of us and one tankard! I wouldn't want this to be unfair."

[7/8/2016 9:19:51
PM] DM: Green seems to just sit and make eyes at Quill. Silver
doesn't do anything, really. Red downs all three and looks to have
only had a slightly worse time with it than you did. You get a sense
he was drinking before you showed up.

[7/8/2016 9:20:02
PM] DM: Red: "Ok...so...what's the next move?"

[7/8/2016 9:21:54
PM] Creed: "We drink!"

[7/8/2016 9:22:04
PM] \*\*\* Creed starts to chug the tankard \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:22:19
PM] DM: Red: "Sounds like my kind of game." He chugs
too.

[7/8/2016 9:22:30
PM] DM: Creed, make three consecutive CON saves.

[7/8/2016 9:22:33
PM] Creed: oh god

[7/8/2016 9:22:46
PM] Creed: TWO CRITS

[7/8/2016 9:22:48
PM] Creed: LETS GOOO

[7/8/2016 9:22:50
PM] DM: Holy shit!

[7/8/2016 9:23:10
PM] Creed: Creed, the drinking master!

[7/8/2016 9:23:50
PM] DM: Creed chugs the whole tankard. For a brief moment it looks
like it's about to make a return appearance, but she forces it back
down and seems to have found a pocket of clarity after coming back
from the brink.

[7/8/2016 9:24:13
PM] DM: Red, on the other hand, chugs, and chugs, and it starts to
come out the sides, and he sputters, and...he's out.

[7/8/2016 9:24:22
PM] Quill: ... I think you have a future in this, Creed.

[7/8/2016 9:24:25
PM] \*\*\* Creed thrusts a fist into the air \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:24:28
PM] Creed: "Winner!" She shouts

[7/8/2016 9:24:53
PM] DM: Green and Silver talk to each other in Draconic for a bit
and then bamf off.

[7/8/2016 9:25:06
PM] Anna: [back]

[7/8/2016 9:25:07
PM] Creed: Did they leave their friend?

[7/8/2016 9:25:43
PM] Creed: How does the tavern look now?

[7/8/2016 9:27:10
PM] DM: Most folks seem to be ignoring you. And yeah, they totally
left him.

[7/8/2016 9:27:27
PM] DM: There was another cheer when you screamed "winner".

[7/8/2016 9:28:28
PM] Creed: Creed gives the red dragonborn a pat.

[7/8/2016 9:29:00
PM] DM: A little booze leaks out his mouth as you do so.

[7/8/2016 9:29:12
PM] Creed: "Gross."

[7/8/2016 9:29:26
PM] Quill: What a majestic fellow.

[7/8/2016 9:29:32
PM] Creed: Creed will check his pockets.

[7/8/2016 9:29:52
PM] DM: Roll stealth.

[7/8/2016 9:29:59
PM] Anna: We should probably make sure he doesn't drown on his drink.

[7/8/2016 9:30:04
PM] Creed: ((25))

[7/8/2016 9:30:10
PM] Creed: so close to a crit

[7/8/2016 9:31:19
PM] Quill: Well. It's coming out and he's not sputtering, I think
he's fine.

[7/8/2016 9:32:27
PM] Creed: Check for breathing?

[7/8/2016 9:32:36
PM] DM: Perception.

[7/8/2016 9:32:44
PM] Creed: 17.

[7/8/2016 9:32:46
PM] DM: He's breathing.

[7/8/2016 9:32:57
PM] Creed: "He's alive, at least."

[7/8/2016 9:33:06
PM] Creed: "Or breathing, at any rate."

[7/8/2016 9:33:07
PM] Quill: He might not wish it when he wakes up.

[7/8/2016 9:33:11
PM] Quill: You should drink some water.

[7/8/2016 9:33:26
PM] \*\*\* Creed asks for some water, and bread. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:33:37
PM] DM: Some is brought for the table.

[7/8/2016 9:33:53
PM] Creed: She will sip at the water and nom on some bread.

[7/8/2016 9:34:40
PM] DM: I need everyone at the table to roll a DEX saving throw. :)

[7/8/2016 9:34:47
PM] Creed: bahaha.

[7/8/2016 9:34:52
PM] Anna: I'm not sure if water would dilute what's already in there,
or accelerate the rust.

[7/8/2016 9:34:58
PM] Creed: (( 15 ))

[7/8/2016 9:35:17
PM] Anna: [10]

[7/8/2016 9:35:41
PM] Quill: (( 18 ))

[7/8/2016 9:36:36
PM] DM: Quill, like lightning, you manage to get out of the way as
an explosion of white powder bursts from Creed's location, covering
Lyv (who could not dodge, because unconscious), Anna and Creed
herself.

[7/8/2016 9:36:47
PM] DM: Creed, Anna, roll CON saves.

[7/8/2016 9:37:43 PM

[7/8/2016 9:37:56
PM] DM: ...that's true.

[7/8/2016 9:37:58 PM

[7/8/2016 9:38:01
PM] Creed: (( 13 on CON here ))

[7/8/2016 9:38:23
PM] DM: Yeah, only Creed would be affected.

[7/8/2016 9:38:27
PM] DM: Sorry, Creed.

[7/8/2016 9:38:30
PM] Creed: It's okay.

[7/8/2016 9:38:38
PM] Creed: I get this for opening mysterious boxes.

[7/8/2016 9:38:46
PM] Creed: While tipsy, I assume.

[7/8/2016 9:39:13
PM] DM: After getting hit with the powder, the room begins to fade
away and you feel...floaty...weightless...it's a very pleasant
feeling.

[7/8/2016 9:39:35
PM] Creed: "So this is what true happiness is."

[7/8/2016 9:39:39
PM] DM: To the rest of you, Creed seems to just be off in a haze.

[7/8/2016 9:39:55
PM] \*\*\* Quill covers his mouth and nose and looks around the bar. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:40:17
PM] Creed: (( I imagine Anna is just covered in it, but unfaltered ))

[7/8/2016 9:40:40
PM] Quill: Creed? You okay?

[7/8/2016 9:40:53
PM] \*\*\* Anna slowly turns to Creed.

"What did you
do?" \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:41:11
PM] DM: Anna, you recognize this look on her face. You've seen it
on many a homeless person left in the slums.

[7/8/2016 9:41:14
PM] Creed: (( I'm curious as to what she's hearing, and if she's able
to talk ))

[7/8/2016 9:41:49
PM] DM: Creed still sees and hears, but it's all distance and flat,
like hearing it underwater. You just...can't seem to care what
they're saying.

[7/8/2016 9:42:22
PM] Anna: Oh. Oh, no. [It's krrf, isn't it?]

[7/8/2016 9:42:25
PM] \*\*\* Creed will try to muster a shrug \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:42:27
PM] DM: ((Yep))

[7/8/2016 9:42:45
PM] DM: Incidentally, the case, is crackling.

[7/8/2016 9:42:51
PM] DM: Like, energy is coming off of it.

[7/8/2016 9:42:56
PM] Creed: (( I just wanted a nice cigar to puff while challenging
people to a drink-off ))

[7/8/2016 9:42:58
PM] Quill: ((What case.))

[7/8/2016 9:43:07
PM] Creed: (( Creed looted a cigar case off of the dragonborn ))

[7/8/2016 9:43:23
PM] DM: ((Oh, I didn't mention that, the source of the explosion, a
cigar case))

[7/8/2016 9:43:24
PM] Creed: (( It's very fancy looking ))

[7/8/2016 9:43:31
PM] Anna: [crackling like it's going to explode again?]

[7/8/2016 9:43:45
PM] DM: ((You can try an arcana check and find out))

[7/8/2016 9:43:47
PM] Quill: Creed. Did you get this off red over there?

[7/8/2016 9:44:10
PM] Anna: [24]

[7/8/2016 9:44:13
PM] Creed: (( I don't think she's able to reply ))

[7/8/2016 9:44:15
PM] DM: ((Seriously, Anna?))

[7/8/2016 9:45:15
PM] Anna: [Well, I'm glad the dice rolled higher than single digits,
finally.]

[7/8/2016 9:45:28
PM] Creed: (( Always when it counts! ))

[7/8/2016 9:46:43
PM] Anna: Quill, do you know elvish? These runes are written in it.
Also, it does not look likely to explode again without provocation.

[7/8/2016 9:47:05
PM] Creed: (( ooh, it's a magic trap, no wonder ))

[7/8/2016 9:47:07
PM] \*\*\* Quill nods, and reads the case. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:49:08
PM] \*\*\* Quill blinks. "It says 'wishes'." \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:49:59
PM] \*\*\* Quill pulls a small metal case out of his pocket, like a
snuffbox. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:50:48 PM

[7/8/2016 9:50:54
PM] DM: It does.

[7/8/2016 9:51:00
PM] DM: Same handwriting.

[7/8/2016 9:51:03
PM] Quill: ...huh.

[7/8/2016 9:51:03
PM] DM: Same design.

[7/8/2016 9:53:13
PM] \*\*\* Quill shrugs, and goes to check on Lyv. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:53:44
PM] \*\*\* Hank enters the tavern. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:54:51
PM] \*\*\* Anna attempts to brush the powder off herself somewhat, then
attempts to tend to Creed.

[11] \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:55:16
PM] DM: Hank and Rune, you find everyone but Quill covered in
powder. Creed staring off into space. Lyv unconscious. And a
passed out red dragonborn on the floor.

[7/8/2016 9:55:42
PM] DM: Anna, you get most of it off your front. You expect your
next trip to Belkiss will involve cleaning it out of your insides.

[7/8/2016 9:55:50
PM] Hank: What's wrong with creed and lyv?

[7/8/2016 9:56:07
PM] Anna: Lyv had too much liquor.

[7/8/2016 9:56:10
PM] Quill: Lyv is drunk. Creed is drugged.

[7/8/2016 9:56:37
PM] Rune: .... Creed?

[7/8/2016 9:56:42
PM] Rune: Well I didn't think you should have that much fun.

[7/8/2016 9:56:48
PM] Rune: I was thinking a few drinks and maybe some dancing!

[7/8/2016 9:56:51
PM] Anna: Is this what happens when people go out drinking? I really
don't have much experience with it.

[7/8/2016 9:57:13
PM] Rune: If they have too much, yes.

[7/8/2016 9:57:29
PM] Quill: No, this is just an evening at the pub conflated with our
usual ridiculousness.

[7/8/2016 9:57:40
PM] Hank: Can I do lay on hands on creed

[7/8/2016 9:57:41
PM] Creed: "I was.... drinking contest... Master of the drink."

[7/8/2016 9:57:52
PM] DM: You can try, Hank.

[7/8/2016 9:57:56
PM] Quill: That is true, Creed did win the drinking contest.

[7/8/2016 9:58:04
PM] Rune: Why are you on drugs?

[7/8/2016 9:58:22
PM] Hank: ((To neutralize one poison or disease 5 hitpoints))

[7/8/2016 9:58:40
PM] \*\*\* Anna holds up a cup with ...something in it.

"Exploding
snuffbox. This should help." \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 9:58:57
PM] Creed: "The box was magic rigged... they never taught me
that in school."

[7/8/2016 9:59:45
PM] DM: Creed, as Hank touches you, you feel the krrf and the drink
just fade from you...and you are normal once more.

[7/8/2016 9:59:55
PM] DM: Although, covered in white.

[7/8/2016 10:00:02
PM] Anna: Nevermind.

[7/8/2016 10:00:08
PM] DM: And, you guys all realize, attracting a lot of attention.

[7/8/2016 10:00:38
PM] \*\*\* Quill goes over to the red dragonborn. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:00:38
PM] \*\*\* Creed shakes off the snow \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:01:00
PM] \*\*\* Quill looks at the crowd. "It's all right, it's all
right. This was a drug sting. Went a little haywire, that's all.
Hank, show 'em the badge." \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:01:01
PM] Hank: We should probably head out.

[7/8/2016 10:01:15
PM] \*\*\* Anna starts casting Prestidigitation on herself, Creed, Lyv,
and the surrounding area. [it manifests as a silvery mist flowing
over it and eating up the dirt.] \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:01:16
PM] \*\*\* Hank shows his badge \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:01:23
PM] \*\*\* Creed shakes her head \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:01:49
PM] DM: The crowd seems to go back to their business.

[7/8/2016 10:02:04
PM] DM: Except the two other dragonborn who seem to be making for
the exits.

[7/8/2016 10:02:15
PM] DM: And everyone is now clean.

[7/8/2016 10:02:26
PM] Quill: Stop right there, you two!

[7/8/2016 10:02:40
PM] DM: Make an Intimidation check.

[7/8/2016 10:02:46
PM] \*\*\* Rune checks to make sure Lyv is all right. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:03:11
PM] Quill: ((11, that's a shitty roll for me.))

[7/8/2016 10:03:46
PM | Edited 10:03:34 PM] DM: Silver stops in his tracks. Green
doesn't, but he's distracted long enough to not notice a table and
goes end over tea kettle onto the floor.

[7/8/2016 10:04:40
PM] \*\*\* Quill motions to silver. "Get your friend up and get
over here." \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:04:59
PM] \*\*\* Creed will try casting Tasha's Hideous Laughter on the Green
one if he continues to try to escape. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:05:18
PM] Creed: (( if he doesn't then it's prepared ))

[7/8/2016 10:06:09
PM] DM: He does, try to escape, you cast...and he rolls a natural
20 and ignores you. Silver reaches for him, but he tails it before
he can catch him.

[7/8/2016 10:06:37
PM] DM: Silver throws himself. "I'm not fleeing! I
surrender!"

[7/8/2016 10:06:48
PM] \*\*\* This message has been removed. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:06:55
PM | Edited 10:06:42 PM] Hank: ((Command halt on green))

[7/8/2016 10:07:29
PM] DM: That time it works. He halts.

[7/8/2016 10:07:55
PM] DM: Green: "GODS! PLATINUM! FUCKING FUCK!"

[7/8/2016 10:08:06
PM] \*\*\* Hank rushes him and tackles him to the ground. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:08:24
PM] \*\*\* Creed sips at the Red's left over drink \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:08:26
PM] \*\*\* Quill checks how Red is doing. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:08:40
PM] DM: Red seems to be coming to, but slowly.

[7/8/2016 10:08:43
PM] Quill: .... I wouldn't, some of the stuff might have gotten in
there.

[7/8/2016 10:08:52
PM] Quill: 'Ey. Big guy.

[7/8/2016 10:08:54
PM] \*\*\* Creed looks inside the drink \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:08:57
PM] DM: Red: "Wha...who...?"

[7/8/2016 10:09:05
PM] Rune: ... I just wanted a nice quiet drink in a pub and maybe
some dancing.

[7/8/2016 10:09:16
PM] Creed: "That was a good drinking round."

[7/8/2016 10:09:31
PM] Creed: "Rune, you should have come earlier then."

[7/8/2016 10:10:01
PM] Anna: Well, apparently that's not what the universe had in store
for us, today.

[7/8/2016 10:10:07
PM] Quill: Or ever.

[7/8/2016 10:10:16
PM] Creed: "Never would be an answer, yes."

[7/8/2016 10:10:30
PM] DM: Red: "Fucking...Tiefling...slut..."

[7/8/2016 10:10:31
PM] Anna: Heh. True enough.

[7/8/2016 10:10:39
PM] \*\*\* Quill smacks him hard. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:10:48
PM] DM: Red: "OW! FUCK!"

[7/8/2016 10:10:55
PM] Anna: Now, that was uncalled for.

[7/8/2016 10:10:57
PM] Quill: Manners, fuckwit.

[7/8/2016 10:10:59
PM] \*\*\* Rune goes bluer in the face. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:11:01
PM] \*\*\* Hank brings green over to the group \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:11:13
PM] DM: Silver walks over and sits.

[7/8/2016 10:11:32
PM] Creed: "Not my fault you had things on you that weren't good
for yourself."

[7/8/2016 10:11:34
PM] DM: The barkeeps seem to be trying to get everyone away from
your table.

[7/8/2016 10:11:53
PM] DM: Silver: "I didn't wanna! They made me!"

[7/8/2016 10:11:55
PM] Hank: So one of you want to start talking. Or do we have to get
rough?

[7/8/2016 10:12:05
PM] Quill: Hey, Anna, can you go flag down some guards from outside?

[7/8/2016 10:12:17
PM] DM: Hank, roll intimidation with advantage.

[7/8/2016 10:12:28
PM] DM: Quill, you may as well if you wish.

[7/8/2016 10:12:37
PM] Creed: (( OH BABY ITS A CRIT ))

[7/8/2016 10:12:47
PM] DM: Silver: "I'LL TALK! I'LL TALK!"

[7/8/2016 10:12:47
PM] Quill: ((Hank is much scarier.))

[7/8/2016 10:12:50
PM] Rune: Ugh. Hank, don't get too rough, I don't want to be picking
teeth out of my hair all next month.

[7/8/2016 10:13:27
PM] Rune: .... speaking of which, the corpses in the stable are all
taken care of, right? Not that they had any teeth at all.

[7/8/2016 10:13:41
PM] Creed: "Are we talking about the raven corpses?"

[7/8/2016 10:13:56
PM] DM: Green: "Way to pick 'em, Zoryax. Ok, Iron Head, what
do you want?"

[7/8/2016 10:14:09
PM] DM: He looks at Red when he says Zoryax.

[7/8/2016 10:14:41
PM] \*\*\* Anna heads outside and tries to get the attention of a
passing patrol. [etc] \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:14:46
PM] \*\*\* Rune nods. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:15:05
PM | Edited 10:14:39 PM] DM: Green's looking at you Hank.

[7/8/2016 10:15:07
PM] \*\*\* Rune is playing Good Cop. Sort of. For a given value of good.
\*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:15:42
PM] DM: Red: "Dude, don't drop my name to the cops."

[7/8/2016 10:16:00
PM] Rune: Too late. How do you spell it, one X or two?

[7/8/2016 10:16:27
PM] DM: Zoryax: "Here, I'll spell it for you. F-U-C-"

[7/8/2016 10:16:41
PM] Rune: One X, got it.

[7/8/2016 10:17:31
PM] Hank: How about you tell us about what you were up to tonight
and if you give me more attitude you can get beat up more before we
arrest you.

[7/8/2016 10:17:54
PM] Creed: "We don't have to stop it at beatings, of course."

[7/8/2016 10:18:20
PM] DM: Green: "Kinky."

[7/8/2016 10:18:30
PM] \*\*\* Creed pulls out her dagger \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:18:36
PM] Rune: I think we should stop it at beatings. I'm tired of
cleaning up all the blood everywhere.

[7/8/2016 10:18:38
PM] Creed: "If you look at it a certain way, sure."

[7/8/2016 10:18:47
PM] \*\*\* Hank slams greens head into the table hard \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:18:52
PM] Rune: Blood in the basement, blood on the corpses, blood on
clothes.

[7/8/2016 10:19:02
PM] Quill: That's a good point. Remember all that goop from that
one guy?

[7/8/2016 10:19:03
PM] Creed: (( Hank's not messing around, wow ))

[7/8/2016 10:19:32
PM] DM: Silver: "We were just carrying some krrf. The guy we
bought it from said if we gave it to some chicks, they'd go nuts for
us."

[7/8/2016 10:19:49
PM] Rune: I don't think krrf works that way.

[7/8/2016 10:19:59
PM] DM: Silver: "I said no, but they dragged me along. I
didn't want any of this."

[7/8/2016 10:20:09
PM] Quill: Oh, wow, that is thoroughly disgusting.

[7/8/2016 10:20:19
PM] Creed: "Oh.. so that's why you were awkwardly hitting on
Anna."

[7/8/2016 10:20:21
PM] Hank: Anything to say green?

[7/8/2016 10:20:41
PM] Hank: Or do you want to meet the table again

[7/8/2016 10:20:47
PM] Rune: It looked to me like it just zones you out. That would be a
lot like having sex with a corpse. Which is a fairly specific kink.

[7/8/2016 10:20:57
PM] Creed: "It was.. a very different experience."

[7/8/2016 10:21:46
PM] Creed: "Best way to describe it would be like floating in a
cloud of the purest joy."

[7/8/2016 10:21:57
PM] Creed: "Which is very weird, mind you."

[7/8/2016 10:22:11
PM] DM: Green: "Look, we never met the guy before. We don't
know where to find him. What more could we say?"

[7/8/2016 10:22:12
PM] Rune: I don't think I'd like that.

[7/8/2016 10:22:26
PM] Quill: Tell me about the guy.

[7/8/2016 10:22:34
PM] Hank: Describe him for us.

[7/8/2016 10:22:49
PM] DM: Zoryax: "Ailroth, don't."

[7/8/2016 10:23:08
PM] \*\*\* Rune makes a mental note of that name too! \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:23:46
PM] Creed: "Zoryax seems to know something too, for someone with
a weak constitution."

[7/8/2016 10:23:51
PM] DM: Green: "Like, I dunno. Black hair. Lots of feathers.
 Dressed in some sailor get up. He sold us the bags. Then some
crazy woman gave Zoryax the case."

[7/8/2016 10:24:08
PM] Rune: Crazy woman?

[7/8/2016 10:24:08
PM] Quill: Oh, come ON.

[7/8/2016 10:24:11
PM] DM: Zoryax: "Fuck you, dude. Seriously, fuck you."

[7/8/2016 10:24:15
PM] Quill: When was this?

[7/8/2016 10:24:23
PM] Hank: How did you know she was crazy?

[7/8/2016 10:24:32
PM] Creed: "I'm gonna say the leader of the ravens."

[7/8/2016 10:24:40
PM] Creed: "Or something similar."

[7/8/2016 10:24:53
PM] Hank: Do you want to meet the table too zoryax if not then shut
up unless we ask you a question.

[7/8/2016 10:25:36
PM] DM: Ailroth (Green): "She was just blathering some
nonsense. Gave the case to Zoryax. We figure, great, some for us
later."

[7/8/2016 10:25:50
PM] DM: Ailroth: "She didn't mention nothing about that shit
being rigged."

[7/8/2016 10:26:06
PM] Quill: When was this, Ailroth?

[7/8/2016 10:26:33
PM] DM: Silver: "A few hours ago, before we got here."

[7/8/2016 10:26:43
PM] Quill: Hrm.

[7/8/2016 10:26:58
PM] Quill: It can't be a coincidence. Not when it comes to us.

[7/8/2016 10:27:37
PM] Rune: I'm sure it's not.

[7/8/2016 10:27:39
PM] \*\*\* Rune sighs. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:27:48
PM] DM: Silver: "He was peddling by the border between here
and the outer circle. We can show you."

[7/8/2016 10:28:05
PM] \*\*\* Creed pulls out a map \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:28:11
PM] Creed: "You can mark it down."

[7/8/2016 10:28:40
PM] DM: Silver eagerly leaves a mark (The green X) on the map.

[7/8/2016 10:29:12
PM] DM: Zoryax: "You are the biggest wuss ever, Iorrinn, you
know that?"

[7/8/2016 10:29:32
PM] Creed: "It's cute."

[7/8/2016 10:29:34
PM] DM: BTW, Anna has waved down some guard by now.

[7/8/2016 10:29:38
PM] Creed: "Thank you Lorrinn."

[7/8/2016 10:29:59
PM] DM: Lorrinn smiles up at Creed, awkwardly.

[7/8/2016 10:30:04
PM] \*\*\* Quill looks at the silver. "Make better friends."
\*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:30:07
PM] \*\*\* Rune makes a note of that name too. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:30:14
PM] \*\*\* Anna hastily explains the situation and heads back inside,
hopefully with the guard in tow. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:30:19
PM | Edited 10:29:49 PM] Quill: 'Cause these guys got you arrested.

[7/8/2016 10:30:24
PM] Rune: And don't try to drug women. It's creepy.

[7/8/2016 10:30:53
PM] Hank: I better not catch you trying this again or I won't be
gentle next time.

[7/8/2016 10:30:59
PM] Anna: I'm back. How are things going?

[7/8/2016 10:31:08
PM] DM: Zoryax: "Please, tiefling women coming to a dragonborn
bar. Nine times out of ten, they're asking for it."

[7/8/2016 10:31:21
PM] DM: Zoryax: "This was just the 10."

[7/8/2016 10:31:41
PM] Creed: "And nine times out of ten, when red dragonborn come
along... They always keel at the table, unable to hold their drink."

[7/8/2016 10:31:56
PM] Creed: "Seems you're all nine of them."

[7/8/2016 10:31:59
PM] \*\*\* Hank will go over and punch zoryax in the face \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:32:09
PM] Hank: Learn to be more polite as well

[7/8/2016 10:32:32
PM] Anna: Okay, so you're a degenerate. Noted.

[7/8/2016 10:32:34
PM] \*\*\* Hank will go outside for fresh air. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:32:56
PM] DM: The guards carry the creeps off.

[7/8/2016 10:33:07
PM] \*\*\* Quill makes sure they're all taken into custody, making notes
that the silver was moderately cooperative. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:33:40
PM] DM: The guards note this. Ailroth begins screaming he
cooperated too.

[7/8/2016 10:33:51
PM] DM: The guards are...less noted about him.

[7/8/2016 10:34:15
PM] DM: So, congrats, you guys busted some creeps.

[7/8/2016 10:34:41
PM | Edited 10:34:20 PM] Anna: [only about a thousand or so to go...
in this district alone.]

[7/8/2016 10:34:42
PM] Creed: "To be fair, the green one did help a bit."

[7/8/2016 10:34:57
PM] \*\*\* Rune follows Hank. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:35:03
PM | Edited 10:34:27 PM] Creed: "No less a creep, but point
still remains."

[7/8/2016 10:35:18
PM] Quill: Eh. He was apparently also totally on bored with the
drugging.

[7/8/2016 10:35:38
PM] \*\*\* Quill sighs, and checks on Lyv. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:35:44
PM] \*\*\* Hank reenters the bar \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:36:02
PM] DM: As you tap Lyv, she bolts up, and ice spikes pop out her
skin.

[7/8/2016 10:36:05
PM] DM: Lyv: "GAH!"

[7/8/2016 10:36:12
PM | Edited 10:35:39 PM] Quill: You all right?

[7/8/2016 10:36:18
PM] Anna: Whoa. Careful.

[7/8/2016 10:36:23
PM] \*\*\* Rune follows Hank. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:36:28
PM] DM: Lyv's spikes retract.

[7/8/2016 10:36:35
PM] DM: Lyv: "...everyone ok?"

[7/8/2016 10:36:48
PM] Creed: "More okay than you were on that third drink."

[7/8/2016 10:36:49
PM] Anna: Everyone's okay.

[7/8/2016 10:37:04
PM] Hank: Sorry about that I lost control there in the
interrogation.

[7/8/2016 10:37:25
PM] DM: Taeral: "Given the circumstances, I am glad you did
Hank."

[7/8/2016 10:37:28
PM | Edited 10:36:57 PM] Creed: "You seem a bit uh.. forceful
today."

[7/8/2016 10:37:50
PM] Quill: ...how's your dad?

[7/8/2016 10:38:11
PM] Hank: He was fine

[7/8/2016 10:39:21
PM] \*\*\* Rune pats Hank on the shoulder. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:39:43
PM] Rune: It's all right, we wouldn't have let you do anything too
bad.

[7/8/2016 10:39:54
PM] Rune: ((Yeah, I'm using my phone now.))

[7/8/2016 10:40:29
PM] DM: Taeral: "Should we follow up on this?"

[7/8/2016 10:40:48
PM] Quill: Tomorrow.

[7/8/2016 10:41:12
PM] DM: Lyv: "Tomorrow. I love ya, tomorrow...night."

[7/8/2016 10:41:18
PM] \*\*\* Quill looks around, what's the rest of the bar doing? \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:41:19
PM] DM: And she konks out again.

[7/8/2016 10:41:21
PM] Hank: We can check the spot on the way home they will probably
have already cleared out by tomorrow.

[7/8/2016 10:41:44
PM] Rune: I suppose we had better go home.

[7/8/2016 10:41:52
PM] Quill: Almost certainly. Think the crazy old lady is a
precognitive or something? That's my theory. They knew where we'd
be.

[7/8/2016 10:42:41
PM] Hank: The question is are they involved in the deal tomorrow
night?

[7/8/2016 10:42:53
PM] Quill: Possibly.

[7/8/2016 10:43:17
PM] Rune: I don't think Lyv is bad, so. Possibly.

[7/8/2016 10:43:20
PM] Creed: "Are we supposed to watch the deal happen or break
it?"

[7/8/2016 10:43:57
PM] Hank: Wait till it happens and then jump in right after the
goods change hands.

[7/8/2016 10:44:20
PM] Hank: Which means being in position before nightfall.

[7/8/2016 10:44:22
PM] Rune: Right.

[7/8/2016 10:44:38
PM] \*\*\* Quill nods. "William said it will be simple, so I
assume there will be some mind flayers riding dragons involved."
\*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:46:02
PM] Anna: Possibly some sort of insectoid horror.

[7/8/2016 10:46:23
PM] Creed: "Don't underestimate him now."

[7/8/2016 10:46:23
PM] DM: Taeral: "Tarrasque, probably."

[7/8/2016 10:46:34
PM] DM: Taeral: "You know it's coming."

[7/8/2016 10:46:36
PM | Edited 10:46:25 PM] Creed: "It's obviously a colour out of
space."

[7/8/2016 10:47:07
PM] Rune: That's tomorrow night, though, right?

[7/8/2016 10:47:08
PM] Quill: A mind flayer colony on the back of a tarrasque.

[7/8/2016 10:47:13
PM] Quill: Yeah, tomorrow.

[7/8/2016 10:47:28
PM] Hank: Quill do you know anything about the position of first
knight of Damh?

[7/8/2016 10:47:47
PM] Quill: ((Do I?))

[7/8/2016 10:47:54
PM] DM: ((...roll history))

[7/8/2016 10:47:58
PM] Rune: Good. Should we head home?

[7/8/2016 10:48:06
PM] Anna: Probably.

[7/8/2016 10:48:16
PM] Quill: ((21))

[7/8/2016 10:50:07
PM] Rune: Hank can drive.

[7/8/2016 10:50:25
PM] Quill: I know that the Knights of Damh can order off a secret
menu at any pub that want.

[7/8/2016 10:51:27
PM] Rune: And they probably can't spell.

[7/8/2016 10:51:41
PM] \*\*\* Rune heads back to the carriage! \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:51:46
PM] Quill: Spelling is anathema to them.

[7/8/2016 10:52:03
PM] Quill: No, I don't really know anything about them, Hank.

[7/8/2016 10:52:11
PM] \*\*\* Hank goes to the carriage as well \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:52:38
PM] \*\*\* Anna follows along, turning into a little puppy to save
space. (gotta mix it up, sometimes) \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:52:51
PM] Hank: That's fine was just wondering my dad mentioned that was
his position at one point in the summer court.

[7/8/2016 10:53:01
PM] \*\*\* Rune pets Anna. And her own cat too. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:53:18
PM] DM: Ok, you guys head straight back to the prison.

[7/8/2016 10:53:30
PM] \*\*\* Anna is happy puppy. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:53:49
PM] \*\*\* Quill guides Lyv from the carriage into a bed. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:53:55
PM] Rune: I think Hank's mother thought I was his girlfriend.

[7/8/2016 10:54:07
PM] \*\*\* Rune helps Quill. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:54:24
PM] DM: The Erinyes are waiting for you by the way.

[7/8/2016 10:54:28
PM] Hank: She does that every time she sees me with a girl Rune.

[7/8/2016 10:54:50
PM] \*\*\* Creed is prepared to dodge a swipe \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:55:08
PM] Rune: It's fine, I know I'm not.

[7/8/2016 10:55:14
PM] Quill: Hank could do much, much worse.

[7/8/2016 10:55:37
PM] \*\*\* Anna scampers out. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:56:54
PM] \*\*\* Rune waves at Tiprus and smiles a little bit, ignoring
Quill's remark! \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 10:58:05
PM] Hank: And we have only known each other for three hectic days.
I am sorry if it was uncomfortable meeting my parents Rune.

[7/8/2016 10:58:22
PM] Creed: (( Has it really only been 3 days? ))

[7/8/2016 10:58:39
PM] DM: ((About a week...ish...by now...I think...maybe less))

[7/8/2016 10:58:41
PM] Rune: Oh no, it was fine! They were very nice. I didn't correct
them because, well, I thought you mightn't want them to worry.

[7/8/2016 10:58:52
PM] DM: ((I'm doing a time skip next chance I get))

[7/8/2016 10:59:10
PM] Rune: I didn't want to say "Oh I'm just his bodyguard and we
need the buddy system to survive."

[7/8/2016 10:59:39
PM] DM: Tiprus pulls out a piece of fabric, a ribbon.

[7/8/2016 11:01:00
PM] Hank: Fair enough. I did try to explain to my mother but she can
be quite stubborn sometimes.

[7/8/2016 11:01:31
PM] \*\*\* Rune takes it. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 11:01:40
PM] DM: Tiprus smiles and claps.

[7/8/2016 11:02:09
PM] Rune: I thought she seemed really nice.

[7/8/2016 11:02:16
PM] \*\*\* Anna looks confused, and skritches her ear with her foot,
being a puppy. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 11:02:27
PM] Quill: A ribbon?

[7/8/2016 11:02:47
PM] Rune: I'm going to braid Tiprus's hair.

[7/8/2016 11:03:07
PM] Hank: What is the plan for tomorrow?

[7/8/2016 11:03:53
PM] Quill: We go to see the deal happening, as soon as stuff changes
hands, we move i.

[7/8/2016 11:04:34
PM] Hank: We should at least scout the area out in the morning
before any of the parties involved are there.

[7/8/2016 11:04:58
PM] Quill: Not a bad idea.

[7/8/2016 11:05:27
PM] Anna: "Berk!"

[7/8/2016 11:05:56
PM] Rune: Berk?

[7/8/2016 11:06:13
PM] DM: ((She's a dog, still))

[7/8/2016 11:06:42
PM] Anna: [myep]

[7/8/2016 11:07:45
PM] Rune: Oh, you mean you agree?

[7/8/2016 11:08:47
PM] \*\*\* Anna nods.

"Berk!"
\*\*\*

[7/8/2016 11:09:23
PM] \*\*\* Rune smiles. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 11:13:58
PM] \*\*\* Quill sits down. \*\*\*

[7/8/2016 11:14:11
PM] DM: Ok, I think I will call it a night.

[7/8/2016 11:14:20
PM] DM: Rune and the Erinyes go off to do their hair.

[7/8/2016 11:14:30
PM] DM: The rest of you do stuff.
