AOP 005

[7:41 PM] Pip: "I'd, uh, like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that soundproofing isn't much of a concern on ships."

[7:41 PM] Olenna: Chimps aren't monkeys, you know.

[7:41 PM] Olenna: They're apes.7:22 PM] The Blue Scale: Ok, gonna do the recap.  Again, @Pip Jump in at any point.

[7:22 PM] The Blue Scale: So, previously...

[7:22 PM] The Blue Scale: You guys are...

[7:22 PM] The Blue Scale: on a boat!

[7:24 PM] Olenna: ((We're on a motherfuckin' boat!))

[7:24 PM] Jaden: ((We ARE?!))

[7:25 PM] The Blue Scale: While cleaning up the poop deck (official name), you spotted a man floating out in the ocean.  This man revealed his name to be Jareth...and also he was forcibly turned into a fishman by some evil scientist you only know as the doctor.  Also also, it was that same doctor who turned Pip from a changeling into...well...the Pip you know.

[7:26 PM] The Blue Scale: After helping get Jareth settled, you went to talk about an object the doctor used to change them with Ephrim, who confirmed that it sounded like one of the items he was chasing.  You also realized someone was spying on you.

[7:28 PM] The Blue Scale: After some counterspying, you tracked your would be tail to the kitchen...where you ran into Lirial...who was being...very shady.

[7:28 PM] The Blue Scale: After leaving Boredom to watch her, you all did eventually leave the kitchen and leave her to her business.

[7:30 PM] The Blue Scale: So, some time has passed.  I'd say a few hours.  And you have been relieved of your duties for the night to rest up.

[7:30 PM] The Blue Scale: And as soon as you guys find a little side space get away...you all notice Entropy's hair being pulled on.

[7:31 PM] Jaden: ((Any sign of Damin?))

[7:31 PM] Entropy: ((Entropy did say at the end of last session Damin was fine.))

[7:31 PM] Jaden: ((Right sorry))

[7:31 PM] Pip: "Uh."

Pip will try to discern what is pulling on Entropy's hair.

[7:32 PM] Coppelia: Walks up from below deck, tilts her head at Entropy

[7:32 PM] The Blue Scale: You do not see it.  It's like her hair's just floating straight up.  Entropy, you can feel the tugging even.

[7:32 PM] Olenna: I think I have a blister.

[7:32 PM] Entropy: will reach back to try and grab whatever is pulling her hair.

[7:33 PM] The Blue Scale: Entropy, you grab hold...of Boredom.

[7:33 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom: "Hi."

[7:34 PM] Entropy: …hello, Why did you leave?

[7:34 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom holds out a hand.  In it is a little golden bell.  "Saw her talk into this."

[7:35 PM] Entropy: Did you hear what she said?

[7:35 PM] Olenna: I hope whoever's on the other end can't hear us now.

[7:36 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom: "I did.  She said that things's getting shaky.  She wants t'move soon."

[7:36 PM] Entropy: will take the ball.

[7:36 PM] Olenna: Did she call them by a name or anything like that?

[7:37 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom: "No.  But she said she was gonna reconvene with the chimp."

[7:38 PM] Entropy: And you are sure she didn’t detect you?

[7:39 PM] Entropy: will let Boredom be visible again.

[7:39 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom shrugs as he comes back to visibility.

[7:39 PM] Olenna: Chimp?

[7:39 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom: "She didn't look at me."

[7:40 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom: "The monkey woman walking around."

[7:41 PM] Pip: "I'd, uh, like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that soundproofing isn't much of a concern on ships."

[7:41 PM] Olenna: Chimps aren't monkeys, you know.

[7:41 PM] Olenna: They're apes.

[7:41 PM] Saiph: Yeah.  They find it very rude.

[7:41 PM] Coppelia: ((Has Coppelia been caught up on the situation?))

[7:41 PM] The Blue Scale: ((I'll say she has, yes.))

[7:41 PM] Olenna: ((Yeah, Olenna would have told her by now for sure.))

[7:41 PM] Coppelia: ((Cool))

[7:42 PM] Olenna: Generally speaking if it doesn't have a tail it's an ape.

[7:42 PM] Jaden: looks over at Entropy,  "You said Damin was fine, do you know what happened?"

[7:43 PM] Entropy: It’s a big ship, he went to pet the cat.

[7:44 PM] Entropy: Does anyone know what this stone is?

[7:44 PM] Jaden: The Bell?

[7:44 PM] Coppelia: Scribbles on her notebook, then holds it up. Two columns: Trust and Don’t Trust. Under DONT trust is the chef and the chimp. On the other page is written we need to figure out the rest of the crew

[7:45 PM] Jaden: Nods

[7:45 PM] Entropy: So what now?

[7:46 PM] Coppelia: Writes Has Lirial been seen talking to anyone else?

[7:46 PM] Olenna: I'm not sure if it's as simple as that. She still could be law enforcement or a guild representative.

[7:47 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom: "Isn't fancy pants who hired you guys in the guild?"

[7:48 PM] Jaden: WAS in the guild

[7:49 PM] Olenna: And he did tell the guild what was going on.

[7:49 PM] Olenna: They kicked him out.

[7:49 PM] Olenna: But it would seem likely to me that they'd have sent someone to deal with the problem as well.

[7:50 PM] Pip: "The way I figure, everybody's hiding something. A lot of people get overwrought about the possibility of them being outed as liking or not liking something honestly inconsequential."

[7:52 PM] Saiph: Yeah.

[7:52 PM] Pip: "We just need to find out who's being weird about something harmless, like loving cheap wine, planning a getaway to the island they've been saving up for, or being a changeling; and who's being weird about something dangerous."

[7:53 PM] Entropy: I am out of practice on the whole people thing.

[7:53 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin: "Who's being weird now?"

[7:53 PM] Pip: "That's fair, peopl- AAAH!"(edited)

[7:53 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin is now coming up from the lower decks, carrying the cat.

[7:54 PM] Jaden: looks over at Damin  "We thought you had been killed or tossed overboard"

[7:54 PM] Coppelia: Writes out Hello are you bad?

[7:54 PM] Saiph: Everyone.

[7:54 PM] Saiph: Everyone is being weird.

[7:54 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin: "Sorry, nevah mean to scare yah."(edited)

[7:55 PM] Entropy: Are they, I did not notice.

[7:55 PM] Entropy: will have pocketed the bell when Damin showed up.(edited)

[7:55 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin: "Me bad?  Inna wha' way child?"

[7:55 PM] Pip: "That's all right, it's just been a day."

[7:56 PM] Olenna: You know, evil. Bwahaha, I want to take over the world. That sort of thing.

[7:56 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin: "...no.  Sounds like more chrent...er....trouble than it worth."

[7:56 PM] Pip: "At least today I didn't get stuck in any closets or tossed into the uncaring sea."

[7:57 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin: "That be a plus."

[7:57 PM] The Blue Scale: Cat: "Mrow."

[7:57 PM] Olenna: Maybe we should ask the cat.

[7:57 PM] Coppelia: jerks away from the cat and hides behind Olenna

[7:58 PM] Olenna: leans over and scritches the kitty.

[7:58 PM] The Blue Scale: Cat: "Mrow?"

[7:58 PM] The Blue Scale: Cat: "Purrrrrrrr"

[7:58 PM] Jaden: says "Couldn't hurt"  looks at Saiph

[7:59 PM] Entropy: will look at Boredom,” you could try being as relaxed as that cat.”

[7:59 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom: "I'm relaxed."

[8:00 PM] The Blue Scale: (( @Saiph You still around?))

[8:00 PM] The Blue Scale: Actually, @Olenna can you give me a perception check?

[8:01 PM] Pip: Pip will very carefully reach out a hand for the cat to sniff.

[8:01 PM] Olenna: ((22!))

[8:01 PM] The Blue Scale: Olenna As you scritch under the cat's neck, you see a simple blue collar with a gold bell that seems fairly similar to the one Boredom brought back.

[8:02 PM] Saiph: ((I am still here, yeah.))

[8:03 PM] Saiph: casts Speak with Animals.

[8:03 PM] Saiph: Hey, it's me again.  How's it going?

[8:03 PM] The Blue Scale: Cat: "Oh hey.  The one who talks proper.  S'going pretty good.  This friend of yours has great scritches."

[8:04 PM] Olenna: Hmm.

[8:04 PM] Saiph: Yeah, she likes cats.

[8:04 PM] Olenna: picks up the kitty and shows the others: She's got a bell on her collar like Boredom's.

[8:05 PM] Olenna: I love cats.

[8:05 PM] The Blue Scale: Cat: "Whoa?  What's up here?"

[8:05 PM] Olenna: doesn't stop with the scritchin' though.

[8:05 PM] Coppelia: as Olenna picks up the cat Coppelia jumps and hides behind Jaden

[8:05 PM] Saiph: What did you want to ask again?

[8:05 PM] Saiph: asks this in people-talk of his friends.

[8:06 PM] Jaden: looks over at Coppelia "Not good with animals?"

[8:06 PM] Olenna: Her name. Where she got that bell. If she's noticed anyone acting funny lately.

[8:07 PM] Coppelia: Scribbles quickly We watched the neighbors cat once. It broke many, many things

[8:07 PM] Saiph: Oh yeah.  What are you called?

[8:07 PM] Entropy: We won’t let you get broken.

[8:08 PM] Olenna: Some cats are like that. But others are very careful.

[8:08 PM] The Blue Scale: Cat: "Oh, uh...my proper name is hard for the other humanoids, but you can call me Goldie."

[8:09 PM] Saiph: Goldie!  Where'd you get the collar?

[8:09 PM] The Blue Scale: Cat: "In Maylin.  I think it's cute."

[8:09 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie: "The cuter you are, the more treats the humanoids give you."

[8:10 PM] Saiph: Says she found it in Maylin.

[8:10 PM] Saiph: That is definitely true.

[8:10 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin: "We pick her up at di port dere."

[8:10 PM] Olenna: I wonder who she got it from.

[8:11 PM] Jaden: ((Was Maylin the port we were at?))

[8:11 PM] The Blue Scale: ((No, you guys were in Wittlewick.  Maylin'd be south of you."

[8:11 PM] Saiph: Is Maylin a place or a person?

[8:12 PM] Entropy: ((16 insight on how Damin is reacting to all of this.))

[8:12 PM] The Blue Scale: ((IT's a place.  A human city at the borders of what is left of the draconic empire, south of you guys.))

[8:12 PM] The Blue Scale: Entropy Damin seems to find this weird, but he's a sailor, he sees weird shit everywhere.

[8:13 PM] Coppelia: ((Can I roll insight on the cat?))

[8:13 PM] The Blue Scale: ((You can, but it'd be at disadv. as you do not speak cat.))

[8:13 PM] Olenna: What a good kitty.

[8:14 PM] Coppelia: ((DAMNIT it was a 15+5 and then a nat 1))

[8:14 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Sorry.  It's hard to read a cat.))

[8:15 PM] Olenna: ((10. And yes, it is.))

[8:16 PM] The Blue Scale: Olenna The cat doesn't seems to like being held up, but is appreciating the scritches.

[8:16 PM] Olenna: puts the kitty back down but keeps scritching.

[8:17 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin: "She seems to like you."

[8:17 PM] Saiph: asks Olenna.  "Does the collar seem magic?"

[8:18 PM] The Blue Scale: ((You can either give me an arcana check or cast detect magic.))

[8:19 PM] Olenna: ((I don't have detect magic anymore, we went down like 4 levels compared to the other game.))

[8:19 PM] The Blue Scale: ((You can make an arcana check.))

[8:19 PM] Olenna: ((4. Ahahaha. Nope.))

[8:19 PM] Jaden: ((i'll cast detect Magic if thats allright))

[8:19 PM] Olenna: I don't know.

[8:19 PM] Coppelia: ((6. Damnit))

[8:19 PM] Olenna: ((4. Ahahaha. Nope.))

[8:19 PM] Jaden: ((i'll cast detect Magic if thats allright))

[8:19 PM] Olenna: I don't know.

[8:19 PM] Coppelia: ((6. Damnit))

[8:20 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Jaden, you may.  Do you try to do it stealthfully, or are you ok being seen doing it?))(edited)

[8:21 PM] Jaden: ((i can try to stealth it, would that be Stealth or Sleight of hand?  Its the same roll regardless))

[8:21 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Sleight of hand.))

[8:21 PM] Jaden: ((9))

[8:22 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden You cast it, and you see magic coming off of both the bell on her collar and the one in Entropy's pocket.

[8:22 PM] The Blue Scale: However, as Goldie watches this, she's gonna scramble to get out of Olenna's arms.

[8:22 PM] Olenna: I'm going to have to start keeping meat in my pockets.

[8:22 PM] Jaden: Can i tell what kind of magic it is?

[8:22 PM] Saiph: You okay, Goldie?

[8:22 PM] The Blue Scale: Olenna, do you let her go or wanna grapple?

[8:23 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden Enchantment

[8:23 PM] Olenna: lets her go, of course. She was already set down.

[8:23 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie scurries off to the lower decks.

[8:23 PM] Jaden: That might be a problem

[8:23 PM] Olenna: It's all right, we're not going to hurt... you... oh, she's gone.

[8:24 PM] Saiph: ((18 insight on the cat's reaction.))

[8:24 PM] Pip: "Oh dear. This could be trouble."

[8:24 PM] Entropy: has Boredom go invisible and follow the cat.

[8:24 PM] The Blue Scale: Saiph She seemed to really not like Jaden spying on her with magic eyes.

[8:25 PM] Jaden: leans over to saiph and whispers  "Bell had magic,  same type as the one the imp had"

[8:25 PM] Coppelia: Casts Invisibility on herself and goes to follow the cat

[8:25 PM] Saiph: Does the imp still have it?

[8:25 PM] The Blue Scale: ((No, Entropy does.))

[8:25 PM] Entropy: will turn to Jaden , “keep an eye on me okay?”

[8:26 PM] Saiph: Maybe we should look at that one rather than just terrifying the cat.(edited)

[8:26 PM] Entropy: will close her eyes.

[8:26 PM] Jaden: nods at Entropy and watches over her

[8:26 PM] Saiph: .... you guys don't know a lot about cats, do you.

[8:27 PM] Saiph: You're not going to find her if she doesn't want to be found.

[8:27 PM] Saiph: Why don't we just look at the collar we literally already have instead of coveting the spooked out cat's collar.

[8:28 PM] Jaden: Entropy has it right now and she is in points to her closed eyes  her thing right now

[8:28 PM] Olenna: We could put a box out with some meat in it.

[8:28 PM] Saiph: I have seen a cat not eat for at least a week out of pure spite.

[8:29 PM] Olenna: ((But did that cat demand to speak to the manager!))

[8:30 PM] Saiph: Also I don't even know why we care?

[8:30 PM] Olenna: I suppose she mightn't be a real cat. But she seems like one to me. Someone might just be using the bell to eavesdrop whenever she's around someone they want to listen in on.

[8:31 PM] Saiph: Could be.

[8:31 PM] Jaden: ((Did the cat itself give off any magic or just hte Collar?))

[8:31 PM] Olenna: ... I wonder if someone else cast something on her that hurt her. She might just be skittish of magic users.

[8:32 PM] The Blue Scale: ((The cat did not, just the bell...but the bell's aura seemed to be effecting the cat.))

[8:32 PM] Saiph: She's a real enough cat that I could talk to her.

[8:32 PM] Jaden: It was Enchantment Magic on the bell,  controlling Magic,  it Might have been affecting it.

[8:32 PM] Olenna: Oh, that's true.

[8:33 PM] Olenna: ... someone is forcing her to do things? That's awful.

[8:33 PM] Saiph: We should look at the one that Entropy has.

[8:33 PM] Jaden: nods, taps entropy's shoulder and tries to fish the bell out of entropy's pocket

[8:34 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden, with your detect magic, you can pull the bell out of her pocket.

[8:34 PM] Olenna: Right. And rescue Goldie.

[8:34 PM] Jaden: ((Also Enchantment right?))

[8:35 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Yes, and you also notice another spell in it.  Evocation.))

[8:36 PM] Jaden: take it and move away from everyone else  "This one also has evocation on it"

[8:37 PM] Saiph: sighs.  "All right."

[8:37 PM] Saiph: recasts Speak with Animals and then turns into a fluffy black cat with silver tips.

[8:37 PM] Saiph: sniffs and tries to track down Goldie.

[8:38 PM] The Blue Scale: Roll survival at adv.

[8:38 PM] Olenna: Be careful!

[8:38 PM] Coppelia: ((Im still following invisibly. Any rolls?))

[8:38 PM] Saiph: ((15.))

[8:39 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Oh, Coppelia, sorry, I lost you a bit there.))

[8:39 PM] Coppelia: ((Is ok))

[8:39 PM] The Blue Scale: Um, you can follow Saiph and the two of you will find your way to a supply room with a stunned Boredom rubbing his head.

[8:40 PM] Coppelia: ((12 on perception))

[8:40 PM] The Blue Scale: Saiph, you can now smell out Goldie.

[8:41 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Is everyone following Saiph?))

[8:41 PM] Jaden: is trying to stay a safe distance from the rest of the party, he thinks the bell is a Bomb or something

[8:42 PM] Olenna: has stuck with Entropy.

[8:42 PM] Entropy: is still on deck unless someone carried her.

[8:42 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Ok.))

[8:43 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin is with you as well, looking confused.  "Should I be tellin' the captin?"

[8:44 PM] Olenna: Not yet, I think.

[8:45 PM] Jaden: ((15 Arcana to see if i can figure out the magic on the bell))

[8:46 PM] Olenna: What do you think of all this, Damin?

[8:47 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin: "I t'ink I need ta' go tell the capt'in."

[8:47 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin: "This is...above me pay grade."

[8:47 PM] Olenna: Well, I certainly won't stop you. I'd stay and wait until you had more to report, though.

[8:48 PM] Olenna: They'll come back soon, I'm sure.

[8:48 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin nods and settles in.  He points at Entropy.  "This one gonna be alright?"

[8:48 PM] Jaden: I think so

[8:48 PM] Olenna: ((I don't think Jaden is still here, is he?))

[8:49 PM] Jaden: ((Right i'm like on the other side of the deck, still waiting for the bell to explode))

[8:49 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Oh, I thought you were still there.))

[8:50 PM] Jaden: (( figured i was close by, but like 5-10 feet away))

[8:50 PM] The Blue Scale: Yeah, you can still listen in.

[8:50 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin: "...why are you all de way over dere?"

[8:50 PM] Olenna: There's evocation on the thing he's got.

[8:51 PM] Jaden: ((I also rolled a 15 arcana to try to figure out hte magic on this thing))

[8:51 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Oh right.  Sorry.))

[8:51 PM] Jaden: (( You are fine  ))

[8:52 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden Looking over the runes, you see two spells.  One is a mild charm spell.  Something more akin to a friends than a dominate, it makes the subject see you in your best light.  The other, the evocation spell, is a sending spell.

[8:54 PM] Jaden: relaxes a bit and walks back to the group  "Well its not Immediately dangerous.  The Enchantment seems to be some kind of magic to make you seem better to people when you are interacting with them, the Evocation is a Sending Spell"

[8:54 PM] Olenna: Seem better?

[8:54 PM] Jaden: See you in a more positive light.

[8:55 PM] Olenna: Oh. Surely that's not necessary for a cat?

[8:56 PM] Jaden: The one on the cat didn't have the sending spell on it

[8:56 PM] Pip: "I'm pretty sure cats have their natural charm maxed out, yeah."

[8:56 PM] Olenna: Ohhh.

[8:57 PM] Olenna: ... but then what's the point, unless she's not really a cat?

[8:57 PM] Jaden: Shrugs

[8:57 PM] Olenna: But then if she wasn't, Saiph wouldn't be able to talk to her.

[8:57 PM] Jaden: I don't get most of what is going on here honestly

[9:00 PM] Pip: "I'm just glad these people like me."

[9:00 PM] Olenna: Of course we do.

[9:01 PM] Jaden: You are good.

[9:02 PM] Olenna: There are some spell applications that need an object.

[9:06 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin: "I shoulda learned magic.  I figured it was too niche, but now 'ere we are."

[9:06 PM] Olenna: It's useful for practically anything.

[9:07 PM] Jaden: "it comes in Handy"  little glowing under Jaden's Shirt for the Detect Magic

[9:07 PM] Olenna: But rather situational too.

[9:08 PM] Olenna: I've mostly been using it to clean lately, but it's not quite as fast as using my hands. I think I've gotten a blister.

[9:08 PM] Jaden: I usually use it to complement me in battle, been using it a bit more outside of fights than i'm used to

[9:09 PM] Olenna: I wonder if she's an Awakened cat.

[9:10 PM] Jaden: Awakened?

[9:11 PM] Olenna: Yes. Some mages can bring animals or plants to humanlike intelligence, with the right gem.

[9:12 PM] Jaden: ......I think Cats are already pretty smart

[9:12 PM] Olenna: In some ways smarter than humanoids, that's for sure.

[9:12 PM] The Blue Scale: Ollenna, Pip, Jaden, roll perception.

[9:13 PM] Entropy: opens her eyes. “ follow me.”

[9:13 PM] Jaden: ((5!))

[9:13 PM] Olenna: ((22.))

[9:13 PM] Olenna: To where?

[9:13 PM] The Blue Scale: Olenna You smell something in the air.  ...Ozone.  ...a lightning strike is coming.

[9:14 PM] Entropy: To the rest of the group.

[9:14 PM] Olenna: ... I smell lightning.

[9:14 PM] Entropy: starts retracing the route Boredom took.

[9:14 PM] Jaden: looks up

[9:14 PM] Olenna: Oh, all right. Where are they?

[9:14 PM] Olenna: follows her.

[9:14 PM] Pip: [18]

[9:15 PM] The Blue Scale: As you run off, Damin's hit with a burst of energy and slammed against the wall.

[9:15 PM] Jaden: ((Do we see this?))

[9:15 PM] Entropy: ((Do we see it?))

[9:15 PM] Olenna: certainly hears it.

[9:15 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Yes, if you didn't, I wouldn't tell you.))

[9:15 PM] Olenna: runs back to check if he's dead.

[9:15 PM] Entropy: will stop and check on Damin.

[9:15 PM] Jaden: follows te others to check

[9:17 PM] Jaden: ((Dang 4 on medicine))

[9:17 PM] The Blue Scale: Damin lets out some groans.  So not dead.

[9:17 PM] Olenna: What happened?

[9:17 PM] The Blue Scale: It's then you see Lirial standing over you with a wand out.

[9:17 PM] Pip: Pip had been readying to go, but skids to a halt and... wills him a little better?

[1d6 from my pool]

[9:18 PM] Jaden: stands in front the group, Shield out.  "Why did you do that?!"

[9:19 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "Where's the cat?!?"

[9:19 PM] Jaden: It Ran off somewhere,  we were just about to find it,  Why did you blast him!

[9:19 PM] Entropy: Why do you want the cat?

[9:19 PM] Olenna: And who are you working with?

[9:20 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "I know she's in danger!  WHERE IS SHE?!?"

[9:20 PM] Jaden: ((14 Insight))

[9:20 PM] Olenna: She ran away from us, we were going to look for her to try to help.

[9:21 PM] Olenna: But if you go around blasting people and not telling us anything it's going to be very difficult to help you.

[9:22 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden She seems genuinely concerned.

[9:22 PM] Jaden: looks over at Entropy  "is the Cat alright?"

[9:22 PM] Olenna: ... we'd still help Goldie, obviously, but.

[9:22 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "Captain Goldie!"

[9:22 PM] Jaden: Captain?

[9:23 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "...I can tell you what's happening, but I need my captain back, unharmed."

[9:24 PM] Jaden: .....Entropy you were going to lead the way right?  Lets Go

[9:24 PM] Entropy: Okay follow me.

[9:25 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Ok @Saiph @Coppelia we're gonna move back to the main chat now.))

[9:25 PM] Olenna: Start explaining on the way, please.

[9:25 PM] The Blue Scale: As you all enter, you see Coppelia grappling with Goldie who is growling at Saiph who has her collar.

[9:25 PM] Entropy: Boredom is perched on a crate looking at them.

[9:25 PM] Jaden: Okay what happened?

[9:26 PM] Saiph: Goldie was awakened by a guy named Mr. Dandy to spy on Ephrim.

[9:26 PM] Jaden: the guy trying to get the items?

[9:26 PM] Coppelia: Holds the cat out like it’s a bomb

[9:27 PM] Jaden: holds his hands out to handle the cat if Coppelia doesn't want to

[9:27 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie will bite Coppelia...and then recoil, as pottery's not as tooth friendly as flesh.

[9:28 PM] Olenna: That's the pirate. Oh dear, poor kitty, don't do that.

[9:28 PM] Saiph: Not really a kitty anymore.

[9:28 PM] Jaden: ((is the collar off?))

[9:28 PM] Saiph: Well, she's a pirate kitty, I suppose.

[9:28 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie: "I am not 'poor kitty', you foul giantess!"

[9:28 PM] Entropy: So you said you would explain Lirial?

[9:28 PM] Saiph: It's such a cliche at this point it's just disappointing.

[9:28 PM] Jaden: ((Did the cat speak in common?))

[9:28 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Yes))

[9:28 PM] Saiph: Every pirate cat thinks they're the first pirate cat.

[9:29 PM] Coppelia: Gives Goldie a little shake and shakes her head

[9:29 PM] Jaden: looks at Olenna  "Awakened Huh?"

[9:29 PM] Olenna: I thought so.

[9:29 PM] Olenna: I am still willing to scritch you, you know.

[9:30 PM] The Blue Scale: Olenna You'd know that most forms of the awaken spell come with a charming effect.  One that can be removed, via a lesser restoration.

[9:30 PM] Olenna: She's probably charmed. If anyone has a lesser restoration...

[9:30 PM] Saiph: casts it.

[9:31 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial points her wand out.  "HEY!"

[9:31 PM] Jaden: We are trying to Help Her,  Please let us

[9:31 PM] Jaden: ((22 Persuasion))

[9:31 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie shakes her head.  "...Ugh...a human enchanted me...this is embarrassing."

[9:31 PM] Olenna: You can't go around mind-controlling people, it's wrong.

[9:31 PM] Saiph: See, that's what I"ve been trying to say this whole time.

[9:32 PM] Coppelia: Nods at Olenna

[9:32 PM] Saiph: So what's with her?

[9:32 PM] Saiph: nods at Lirial.

[9:32 PM] Jaden: Okay now everyone, Weapons and Spellcasting items down, and lets Talk

[9:32 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie: "Lirial shall be my first mate, after we steal this ship and take that compass...for ourselves now."

[9:32 PM] Saiph: sighs.

[9:33 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "...not sure we can organize that now, captain."

[9:33 PM] Olenna: This ship? Really?

[9:33 PM] Saiph: Seriously, just be a cat taxidermist.

[9:33 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "Hey!  What's wrong with this ship?!?"

[9:34 PM] Olenna: Nothing, but it's not exactly a warship, is it?

[9:34 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "IT IS LITERALLY A STOLEN WARSHIP!"

[9:34 PM] Saiph: It wouldn't be a great pirate ship though.

[9:34 PM] Jaden: Nothing is wrong with the ship now YOU Points at Lirial or......You i guess Points at the cat  EXPLAIN

[9:34 PM] Saiph: ... what's to explain?

[9:35 PM] Entropy: I think they have pretty much explained.

[9:35 PM] Olenna: Stolen or decomissioned? Or ... well, I'm pretty sure if they were still at war it'd be decommissioned.

[9:35 PM] Saiph: Ephrim's ex awakened this cat, who embroiled LIrial in a mutiny.

[9:35 PM] Saiph: It's a pretty old story.

[9:35 PM] Entropy: will pick up Boredom and check his wound.

[9:35 PM] Saiph: Wait, what's the punishment for mutiny here?  Do they launch you into a sun like they do at home?

[9:36 PM] Entropy: It depends did they sign a contract with anyone?

[9:36 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie: "Sigh, I was taken on by Mr. Dandy to join his pirate fleet at Maylin.  The prospect truly intrigued me...although I now see that was also the charm spell.  I took Lirial on as my crew as well as a handful of others to reclaim this vessel, which Lirial's family owned before the war."

[9:36 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "I signed a contract."

[9:36 PM] Olenna: It'd need to be careened and the bottom scraped and oiled before you could get any decent speed out of it, and the cannons are fine, but there aren't that many of them and you'd need to retrain everybody to shoot because they're awfully rusty.

[9:37 PM] Jaden: How Did Dandy know we were going towards the compass?

[9:38 PM] Entropy: Do you have a copy of that contract?

[9:38 PM] Olenna: ... some of the sailors are very chatty.

[9:38 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial holds out a piece of paper with her signature...and one that's just a "D".

[9:39 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie: "I don't know how he knows anything."

[9:39 PM] Saiph: Ugh.

[9:39 PM] Entropy: will take it if she lets me.

[9:39 PM] Jaden: UGH

[9:39 PM] Saiph: Contracts are just snares that you set to catch yourself.

[9:40 PM] Olenna: Not all of them.

[9:40 PM] Entropy: You don’t  appreciate a well crafted contract.

[9:40 PM] Saiph: I might be physically incapable of appreciating a well crafted contract.

[9:40 PM] Entropy: will read through it.

[9:40 PM] The Blue Scale: Roll investigation, with adv. as contracts are your favored terrain.

[9:41 PM] Olenna: offers scritchings to the cat.

[9:41 PM] Entropy: ((16))

[9:42 PM] The Blue Scale: Roll persuasion, Olenna.  Goldie's angry.

[9:42 PM] Olenna: ((12. 19 if she get advantage from having petted another sapient kitty quite a bit.))

[9:43 PM] The Blue Scale: Entropy It's a well written contract.  Shocking for a human.  One that entitles her to the ship, should she bring Mr. Dandy any such items listed below (which includes the compass) and has means of taking the ship with the aid of Captain Goldie.

[9:43 PM] The Blue Scale: Olenna, Goldie seems...put off at first, but then allows it.  You give good scritches.

[9:44 PM] Jaden: Was anyone else in on this......Mutiny?

[9:44 PM] Olenna: I'm honestly not sure piracy is the best answer here.

[9:44 PM] Entropy: … I am impressed with this Mr. Dandy , he can definitely write a contract.

[9:44 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "I am under contract not to divulge this information.  ...I'm also pretty sure I should be killing you all."

[9:44 PM] Olenna: Would it really help if you did?

[9:44 PM] Entropy: ((Did the contract say anything about that?))

[9:45 PM] Jaden: I REALLY Think you shouldn't ((14 Intimidation))

[9:46 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Not specifically.))

[9:46 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "...was that supposed to be scary?"

[9:46 PM] Entropy: You have  another contract then , because this one is actually very open ended in how you fulfill your side.

[9:46 PM] Saiph: You are, frankly, terrible mutineers.

[9:47 PM] Entropy: In fact kind of a bit sloppy on that bit.

[9:48 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie: "How dare you?  I shallllll-- oh that's the spot."(edited)

[9:49 PM] Olenna: scritchscritchscritch.

[9:49 PM] Saiph: So, mutineers.  Do we have a catapult on this ship strong enough to reach the sun?

[9:49 PM] Olenna: We're not catapulting them into the sun, Saiph.

[9:49 PM] Jaden: Your "Captain" has been restrained and Pacified and you are outnumbered, it wouldnt be a smart idea to attack us

[9:49 PM] Saiph: Well, I don't know how they do it here.

[9:49 PM] Entropy: Jaden can you check this contract for any magic?

[9:49 PM] Jaden: We should get the captain

[9:49 PM] Olenna: ... I'm pretty sure gravity doesn't work that way here.

[9:50 PM] Jaden: ((I should still have detect magic up,  IS there any magic on it?))

[9:50 PM] Entropy: Back home contracts are always infused , but not sure how Primes do it.(edited)

[9:51 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden There is a tracking spell on the contract.

[9:51 PM] Olenna: ... I just had an idea.

[9:51 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "Yes?"

[9:51 PM] Jaden: looks at Entropy  "It has a Tracking Spell on it,  Destroy it"

[9:52 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "...is that a good idea?"

[9:52 PM] Olenna: Well, stealing is generally considered wrong, technically. But not if you're stealing from a thief.

[9:52 PM] Entropy: Just a tracking spell… that is incredibly lazy.

[9:53 PM] Olenna: If you stole Dandy's ship you could get your revenge and get a newer ship as well, and absolutely no one would complain a single bit.

[9:53 PM] Olenna: They'd probably throw a parade, really. Haven't they been trying to catch him for ever now?

[9:54 PM] Jaden: ((Can i do a roll to know how to block a tracking spell?))

[9:54 PM] The Blue Scale: Lirial: "...your plan is to steal the ship of the most notorious pirate in the world."

[9:54 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Sure, Jaden.  Roll arcana.))

[9:54 PM] Coppelia: Pauses, then shrugs and nods

[9:54 PM] Jaden: ((9))

[9:55 PM] Entropy: How famous can he be , I never heard of him before yesterday.

[9:55 PM] Olenna: It's not a plan, just an idea.

[9:55 PM] Saiph: It's a much better story.

[9:55 PM] Saiph: And pirates pretty much run on stories.

[9:55 PM] Olenna: He won't be expecting it.

[9:56 PM] The Blue Scale: Jaden You do not know how to block a tracking spell.

[9:56 PM] Entropy: Maybe we want him to track us.

[9:56 PM] Saiph: Also it's pretty good revenge on him for charming you and duping you.

[9:56 PM] Coppelia: Uses a single finger to do Prestidigitation, making a figure of Goldie in a pirate hat sailing a fantastic ship. Lots of fireworks and confetti

[9:56 PM] Saiph: You like revenge, right?  Everyone likes revenge.

[9:57 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie: "...purrrrrrrr....it issssss a goooooooood ssssssssstory."

[9:57 PM] Entropy: Not really , only if there was a revenge clause.

[9:58 PM] Olenna: We could help.

[9:59 PM] Entropy: … sure why not, I am in are you Boredom?

[9:59 PM] The Blue Scale: Boredom: "I have to be...so, yeah."

[10:00 PM] The Blue Scale: At this point, a crewhand comes down.  "'Ey!  Cap'n says we'll be hitting Scutters Isle in 8 hours.  You should get some sleep."

[10:00 PM] Jaden: OH GOOD WE ARE HERE

[10:01 PM] Entropy: Do we have an agreement then , I can draw up a contract if you wish?

[10:01 PM] Saiph: Also this way we won't tell anyone about the mutiny that you have signed evidence of.

[10:01 PM] Saiph: indicates the contract.

[10:02 PM] Olenna: Oh, of course not.

[10:02 PM] The Blue Scale: Goldie: "...very well.  We shall...partner up."

[10:02 PM] The Blue Scale: ((Ok, you guys ok to end it here and we'll pick up next time?))

[10:03 PM] Jaden: ((That is fine with me))

[10:03 PM] Saiph: Wow, this voyage just zoomed by, didn't it?

[10:03 PM] Saiph: claps Jaden on the back.

[10:03 PM] Entropy: It did indeed!

[10:09 PM] Coppelia: ((Sounds good!))
