HF 014

[6/3/2016 7:02:11 PM] Jamaros: So, previously...

[6/3/2016 7:03:27 PM] Jamaros: After going to the long
abandoned Sacred Stone Manor and uncovering a potential Illithid plot, you guys
rushed to the Mage's Guild to inform William Steelfarmer.

[6/3/2016 7:04:32 PM] Jamaros: Only to find out that they
knew about it already, as Oserik turned out to be a Mind Flayer in disguise and
had attacked the Guild, murdered and partially ate Witch Hunter Commander, Cime
Ravensgard, and then was killed himself.

[6/3/2016 7:05:45 PM] Jamaros: You guys went into the sewers
to get the notes of Martin's ritual to implant people's souls into objects as
semi-immortal bodies.  Down there, you
met the organized street urchins who apparently follow a young, but charismatic
leader, Dodger Sleights.

[6/3/2016 7:06:34 PM] Jamaros: He led you to Martin's lab
(with only one monster battle in the way, with a human-wolf chimera
monstrosity), and destroyed a strange pillar within it.  Also, he is apparently magic.

[6/3/2016 7:07:04 PM] Jamaros: You guys got the notes, came
back to the Guild Hall, resurrected Cime into her shield, and...here's where we
pick up.

[6/3/2016 7:08:10 PM] Jamaros: You are in the healing ward,
which you now notice, is covered in paint, bones and other assorted bits from
clearly failed rituals.  One horrifying
one is a more nature-y looking one with a twisted, broken gnome form in the
center of it.

[6/3/2016 7:08:57 PM] \*\*\* Rune had chased after Quill! \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:09:02 PM] Jamaros: The five people, William, Koorak,
Esme, and the unnamed Cleric and Druid, are also all still there.

[6/3/2016 7:09:13 PM] Jamaros: And yes, Quill and Rune have
left.

[6/3/2016 7:10:12 PM] Jamaros: Koorak, after a nod from
William, proceeds to escort the cleric and druid out and appears to be offering
them some kind of sweet root.

[6/3/2016 7:11:41 PM] Jamaros: Esme turns to you all.  "Um...thank you."

[6/3/2016 7:11:55 PM] \*\*\* Creed sits down, seemingly a
little tired \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:12:29 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Yes, yes.  Thank you."

[6/3/2016 7:12:48 PM] Creed: "I'm more surprised that
it actually worked, from the ramblings of a crazy man."

[6/3/2016 7:13:06 PM] Jamaros: The red gem on Cime's shield
glows and then projects out, forming a small holo-Cime on top of it.

[6/3/2016 7:13:22 PM | Edited 7:17:10 PM] Jamaros: Esme:
"Well, we do know it was successful at least twice before."

[6/3/2016 7:13:31 PM] Creed: "That is true."

[6/3/2016 7:13:39 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Huh...neat."

[6/3/2016 7:14:10 PM] Hank: How did you do that?

[6/3/2016 7:14:22 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "I don't
know.  I just sort of...did."

[6/3/2016 7:14:32 PM] Creed: "Can you see all around
you like that?"

[6/3/2016 7:14:36 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "We will have to
take many notes."

[6/3/2016 7:14:50 PM] Creed: "I think we have a bigger
issue on hand first."

[6/3/2016 7:14:53 PM] Hank: Taeral can you do that

[6/3/2016 7:14:58 PM] Jamaros: Cime starts looking
around.  "Much as I could
before.  But everything looks a lot
bigger.  ...I don't like it."

[6/3/2016 7:15:25 PM] Creed: "It probably looks bigger
because you're a small... um... smaller... version of yourself."

[6/3/2016 7:15:26 PM] Jamaros: ((Oh, wait, no, Taeral's with
Rune.  Nevermind, he's not here.))

[6/3/2016 7:15:49 PM] Hank: ( ok )

[6/3/2016 7:15:53 PM] Creed: (( pretend Esme said it then?
))

[6/3/2016 7:16:33 PM] Jamaros: ((Yes))

[6/3/2016 7:16:56 PM] Creed: "So Esme, Cime, what can
you tell us about mind flayers? Any weaknesses?"

[6/3/2016 7:17:28 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "Well, the sword
seemed to work pretty well."

[6/3/2016 7:17:32 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "As did
lightning."

[6/3/2016 7:17:56 PM] Creed: "Anything that you know
from possibly reading about them?"

[6/3/2016 7:18:07 PM] Hank: and we should probably deal with
the manor Oserik was using as a base

[6/3/2016 7:18:19 PM] Creed: "That's my idea,
yeah."

[6/3/2016 7:18:40 PM] Creed: "It's a nice place, maybe
once we kick out the residents we can move in."

[6/3/2016 7:19:19 PM] Jamaros: William: "Not sure
that's the wisest move.  We'd considered
it for your home before.  But there
were...complications."

[6/3/2016 7:19:29 PM] Jamaros: William: "And given
recent events."

[6/3/2016 7:19:35 PM] Hank: A nice place dead fish people
ritual rooms I say burn it

[6/3/2016 7:19:39 PM] Creed: "Monster
complications?"

[6/3/2016 7:20:04 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Why wasn't I made
aware of this?"

[6/3/2016 7:20:08 PM] Creed: "Well if there's ritual
rooms, we can discard the contents, which will put it basically back to normal.
Just purge it a few times with clerics."

[6/3/2016 7:20:13 PM] Jamaros: Cime:
"Steelfarmer?"

[6/3/2016 7:20:48 PM] Hank: Or burn it to the ground seems a
lot safer

[6/3/2016 7:21:16 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "I'm not sure you
can burn stone, Officer Agosto."

[6/3/2016 7:21:24 PM] Creed: "I'm sure it has good
property value, once you purge it."

[6/3/2016 7:22:16 PM] Hank: Still where did the fish people
come from?

[6/3/2016 7:22:16 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "I definitely side
with the purging and burning plan."

[6/3/2016 7:22:27 PM] Creed: "That's because that was
part of your job."

[6/3/2016 7:22:49 PM] Jamaros: William: "Well, given
where it resides...I'd guess the fish people came from another plane of
existence."

[6/3/2016 7:23:07 PM] Creed: "I'm going to go ahead and
guess that Oz got his hands on one of these eggs."

[6/3/2016 7:23:20 PM] \*\*\* Creed pats the egg in her lap \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:23:32 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "Yes, I was about
to ask about that."

[6/3/2016 7:23:39 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "WHERE DID YOU GET
THAT?!?"

[6/3/2016 7:24:08 PM] Creed: "I don't remember the
person that gave it to us but I got it off the hands of a person in our party.
It matches my magical aura so I thought I should keep it."

[6/3/2016 7:24:39 PM] Jamaros: ((You don't know how Rune got
it.  Far as you all know, she's always
had it.))

[6/3/2016 7:24:58 PM] Creed: (( -shrug- I forgot that it was
rune that let creed hold/keep it ))

[6/3/2016 7:25:21 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Well, that is
ferociously disconcerting."

[6/3/2016 7:25:30 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "Not our problem
anymore, sis."

[6/3/2016 7:25:41 PM] Creed: "You wanna talk about it
or play the pronoun/adjective game with it?"

[6/3/2016 7:26:34 PM] Jamaros: Cime hmpfs.  She is very unused to being this small and
powerless.  She prefers it when she is
scarier.

[6/3/2016 7:27:00 PM] Jamaros: William: "It's quite
alright.  I knew it was gonna end up with
you eventually."

[6/3/2016 7:27:12 PM] Creed: "Bit cruel towards the
person that used the object to help save your soul."

[6/3/2016 7:27:30 PM] Jamaros: William: "I'd suggest
being very careful about whom you let see it in the future, though,
Crieta."

[6/3/2016 7:27:43 PM] Creed: "Creati."

[6/3/2016 7:27:55 PM] Jamaros: William: "My mistake."

[6/3/2016 7:28:02 PM] Creed: "It happens."

[6/3/2016 7:29:00 PM] Creed: "I know of where two more
possibly reside."

[6/3/2016 7:29:12 PM] Jamaros: William: "Do you?"

[6/3/2016 7:29:23 PM] Creed: " Possibly ."

[6/3/2016 7:29:29 PM] Jamaros: William: "Good, keep it
to yourself."

[6/3/2016 7:29:38 PM] Creed: "Easy enough."

[6/3/2016 7:29:39 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "You cannot be
serious!"

[6/3/2016 7:29:53 PM] \*\*\* Creed looks Cime dead in the eyes.
"I am." \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:30:05 PM] Jamaros: Cime turns to William now.

[6/3/2016 7:30:29 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "This devil-woman
is nothing but trouble.  The lot of them
are.  You cannot just let them
wild."

[6/3/2016 7:30:50 PM] Jamaros: William: "Cime, I've
been wanting to tell you this for years, and for once, I am going to."

[6/3/2016 7:31:00 PM] Jamaros: William: "Shut the hells
up."

[6/3/2016 7:31:02 PM] Creed: (( because she's itty bitty ))

[6/3/2016 7:31:34 PM] Jamaros: Cime's form seems to grow
redder.

[6/3/2016 7:32:28 PM] \*\*\* Rune returns, with Taeral and
Quill! \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:32:46 PM] \*\*\* Rune eyes Cime. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:32:49 PM] Quill: Sorry, had to use the water
closet.  It's been awhile.

[6/3/2016 7:32:50 PM] \*\*\* Rune eyes Creed. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:32:55 PM] \*\*\* Creed slightly waves to Rune \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:32:57 PM] Rune: Now what?

[6/3/2016 7:32:59 PM] Creed: "Welcome back."

[6/3/2016 7:33:20 PM] Quill: Huh.  Hey, Tarael, can you do that?

[6/3/2016 7:33:29 PM] Quill: Make a tiny see-through version
of yourself?

[6/3/2016 7:34:04 PM] Rune: He's at eye-level in the staff.
... well, for an elf.

[6/3/2016 7:34:20 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "I don't
know.  I don't even know how to begin
trying."

[6/3/2016 7:34:34 PM] Creed: "William, can I have a
word with you?"

[6/3/2016 7:34:44 PM] Jamaros: William nods and walks out
with Creed.

[6/3/2016 7:35:26 PM] Rune: The same way you'd normally cast
without arms, I suppose.

[6/3/2016 7:35:43 PM] Rune: She didn't sell us to an ogre
while I was in the hallway, did she? Or adopt a hydra?

[6/3/2016 7:35:48 PM] Jamaros: Taeral's face scrunches up
and he makes various straining noises.
But nothing happens.

[6/3/2016 7:36:01 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "I don't even
think we have a hydra."

[6/3/2016 7:36:03 PM] \*\*\* Anna looks over at Cime.

"Completely ignoring that thorny bit of the
conversation, your predicament reminds me of a friend who got stuck in a Magic
Jar-type attack, and stuck in an item about the size of her head, unable to
move, talk, or look around, but still capable of sight. This certainly a step
up from that."

[referring to an early stage of her own construction] \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:36:44 PM] Rune: The problem in that scenario
would be the hydra having us. Probably for dinner.

[6/3/2016 7:37:03 PM] Hank: No hydras just a conversation

[6/3/2016 7:37:28 PM] Rune: Possibly breakfast. Depending on
the time of day.

[6/3/2016 7:37:50 PM] Anna: She and William got Cime mad
enough that she turned red.

[6/3/2016 7:37:55 PM | Edited 7:38:31 PM] Hank: Do Hydras
have specific defined meals?

[6/3/2016 7:38:11 PM] \*\*\* Quill looks around.  "Oh, good." \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:38:47 PM] Rune: Oh.

[6/3/2016 7:38:49 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "I was red to
begin with!  You cannot read me like some
children's book!  Stop trying!"

[6/3/2016 7:38:59 PM] Rune: ... I don't know, that's quite
an interesting question.

[6/3/2016 7:39:20 PM] Rune: How did she make you angry,
anyway? She makes a lot of people angry. It's a special skill.

[6/3/2016 7:39:36 PM] Anna: I am not. Merely making an
observation. I am sorry.

[6/3/2016 7:39:43 PM | Edited 7:40:42 PM] Hank: William told
Cime to shut up

[6/3/2016 7:39:58 PM] Hank: And they were talking about the
egg thing

[6/3/2016 7:40:16 PM] Rune: Oh. The thing that powered the
ritual to keep Cime alive, yes.

[6/3/2016 7:40:41 PM] Hank: apparently it worries Cime

[6/3/2016 7:40:48 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "Yes.  Thank you for that.  We didn't get a chance before you and your
boyfriend had to step out."

[6/3/2016 7:41:07 PM] Rune: Oh. Well I suppose we can put
her back to being dead. But that... doesn't sound like a good idea to me?

[6/3/2016 7:42:08 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "Well...that's
sort of something we should discuss with you."

[6/3/2016 7:42:25 PM] Rune: Being dead?

[6/3/2016 7:42:33 PM] Rune: I've never been.

[6/3/2016 7:42:39 PM] Rune: And I don't think he's my boyfriend.

[6/3/2016 7:43:07 PM] Quill: Probably not.

[6/3/2016 7:43:18 PM] Quill: She's never bought me dinner.

[6/3/2016 7:43:57 PM] Rune: You never asked to be bought
dinner.

[6/3/2016 7:44:29 PM] Anna: Hmmm, perhaps you could ask
about a golem body of some sort. I don't know if you can use magical items in
that state, so you might need one that follows voice commands.

[6/3/2016 7:44:40 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "Um...not to taint
all of this with business...but we probably have some stuff to discuss before
you leave today."

[6/3/2016 7:45:04 PM] Quill: Like what?

[6/3/2016 7:45:18 PM] Hank: What kind of business?

[6/3/2016 7:45:48 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "Well, first, in
thanks, you should know that I will be rushing Creed's papers to join the guild
through, assuming she is still interested."

[6/3/2016 7:46:15 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "She will start as
a junior member under your care, Rune, if you are ok with that.  And I will personally back her
registration."

[6/3/2016 7:46:18 PM] Quill: That's good?  I'm sure she'll be grateful.

[6/3/2016 7:47:34 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "And I'm sure Cime
will clear all your records from the Witch Hunters.  Give you guys a fresh start, along with the
Erinyes you are keeping."

[6/3/2016 7:47:55 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Get on with it,
Esme."

[6/3/2016 7:48:24 PM] Jamaros: Esme:
"...right...um...and we shall make sure to put in a good word for
you...with those who shall...replace us."

[6/3/2016 7:48:44 PM] Hank: What do you mean replace you?

[6/3/2016 7:48:51 PM] Anna: You're retiring?

[6/3/2016 7:49:10 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Well, I can't
exactly lead from my state, can I?"

[6/3/2016 7:49:16 PM] Rune: I don't see why not.

[6/3/2016 7:49:25 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "The Hunters would
have me planed the moment they saw me."

[6/3/2016 7:49:31 PM] Rune: Taeral does perfectly well
giving orders and instructions in there.

[6/3/2016 7:49:41 PM] Rune: Well it's not my fault you lead
a bunch of idiots.

[6/3/2016 7:50:03 PM] \*\*\* Quill looks at Esme.  "What about you?" \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:50:39 PM] Rune: Besides, you know as well as I
do that Creed won't listen to a word I say.

[6/3/2016 7:50:59 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "In order to
convince her to let us save her, I agreed to step down so we could go and
research this more fully.  See if we can
find a more functional form or more permanent solution."

[6/3/2016 7:51:46 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "And we're not
idiots, we're cautious."

[6/3/2016 7:51:52 PM] Hank: How do your replacements get
chosen does someone get promoted?

[6/3/2016 7:52:42 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "We will have
representatives meet with the council to pick new heads for our charters.  If you like, you may sit in, and we can
recommend you as a voting party."

[6/3/2016 7:52:57 PM] Rune: That sounds good.

[6/3/2016 7:53:10 PM] Quill: Wait.  How can you clear our records with the Witch
Hunters if they'd banish you to the Phantom Zone if they saw you?

[6/3/2016 7:53:57 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "I can still
dictate a letter.  No one will know of
this, outside of this room.  And no one
will know of why I am stepping down."

[6/3/2016 7:54:28 PM] \*\*\* Quill thinks.  "Okay, that makes sense. " \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:55:19 PM] Hank: And the witch hunters won't be
suspicious

[6/3/2016 7:55:30 PM] Anna: One thing that you might want to
look into is a fully mechanical body. I'm sure the gem that holds you could be
used as a core.

[6/3/2016 7:56:02 PM] Rune: That's a good idea.

[6/3/2016 7:56:33 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "The guild works
in tandem with the Hunters.  I shall
deliver it personally, and it should go through, unscrutinized."

[6/3/2016 7:56:38 PM] Anna: You might be able to hook it up
so that slight fluctuations in its aura cause the limbs to move and...
[descends into technobabble]

[6/3/2016 7:57:01 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Don't be
ridiculous.  No one's ever been able to
craft a functional autonomous metal form."

[6/3/2016 7:57:08 PM] Quill: She knows quite a bit about the
subject.

[6/3/2016 7:57:21 PM] \*\*\* Anna stops mid-sentence. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 7:57:31 PM] Quill: Remember that quite a bit about
your current circumstance is rather... unprecedented.

[6/3/2016 7:57:42 PM] Anna: Right. Just... stating a theory.

[6/3/2016 7:57:43 PM] Jamaros: Cime:
"...hurm...true."

[6/3/2016 7:58:25 PM] Hank: So is that everything?

[6/3/2016 7:58:41 PM] Rune: What do you think, Taeral? Is it
possible to have a fully functioning metallic form?

[6/3/2016 7:59:41 PM] Anna: We do have people in-city who
study that sort of thing. One of them optimized my containment suit. I've shed
a lot of unnecessary mass, and greatly increased mobility.

[6/3/2016 8:00:42 PM] Anna: I'm a leper, if you haven't
heard. The suit is necessary to prevent the spread of contagion.

[6/3/2016 8:00:57 PM] Anna: I assume you have, though.

[6/3/2016 8:01:05 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "...it has
potential, I suppose.  We're in such an
unprecedented state, it is hard for me to tell what would or wouldn't work,
even within the realms of known possibility."

[6/3/2016 8:01:36 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "It is something
to consider."

[6/3/2016 8:02:04 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "If you mean the twins,
they exist below the sky docks, anyhow.
We can stop by on our way out of the city."

[6/3/2016 8:02:28 PM] Anna: Yes, that is who I meant.

[6/3/2016 8:02:32 PM] \*\*\* Creed walks in with William \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 8:03:07 PM] Jamaros: As they walk in, William
says, "I am so glad to hear you want to purchase a hydra.  I've been looking for a place to keep
that."

[6/3/2016 8:03:35 PM] Creed: "A hydra would be an
interesting pet."

[6/3/2016 8:03:42 PM] Quill: Say, what do you know about
Sarron Dynne?

[6/3/2016 8:03:46 PM] Anna: [mumbled in celestial] Ruinous
Powers, no.

[6/3/2016 8:03:53 PM] \*\*\* Quill is asking Cime. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 8:04:06 PM] Hank: But does it differentiate
between mealtimes?

[6/3/2016 8:04:26 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "The
ambassador.  Wise man, that one.  Not sure I'd trust him with anything I cared
about, but he's a politician, so, that's expected."

[6/3/2016 8:04:31 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Why?"

[6/3/2016 8:04:56 PM] Quill: In a completely unrelated subject,
what do you know about 'Krrf'?

[6/3/2016 8:05:22 PM] Rune: And Sarron's slithery son.

[6/3/2016 8:05:33 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Why would I know
anything about krrf?"

[6/3/2016 8:06:03 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Or Sarron's
son?  I don't think I've ever even met
him."

[6/3/2016 8:06:30 PM] \*\*\* Quill shrugs.  "Law enforcement and all that.  Lots of drugs have magical components and
all.  Just a shot in the dark." \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 8:07:01 PM] Jamaros: William: "Krrf is not
magical.  So, I tend to handle it.  Should I know something about it?"

[6/3/2016 8:07:21 PM] Jamaros: ((Can we take a fifteen
minute break, guys.  My dog is being a
brat and needs to go out.))

[6/3/2016 8:07:47 PM] Creed: ( awh ok ))

[6/3/2016 8:12:41 PM] \*\*\* Quill shrugs.  "I don't know anything about your
strange surface drugs.  I'll catch you up
when we're done here, William." \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 8:13:20 PM] Jamaros: ((Back))

[6/3/2016 8:13:57 PM] Jamaros: William nods, confused.  "Ok."

[6/3/2016 8:14:06 PM | Edited 8:15:04 PM] Anna: I used to be
a slumdweller. I've seen people in the throes of krrf addiction. It is about as
far from pretty as you can get.

[6/3/2016 8:14:35 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "Well, we will
keep you updated as things continue."

[6/3/2016 8:14:44 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "And, I guess we
can break for now."

[6/3/2016 8:15:27 PM] Jamaros: Esme: "I have catching
up to do with my sister."

[6/3/2016 8:16:05 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Yes.  Lots to discuss.  Plans to make.  I'd say it was a pleasure to see you all,
but..."

[6/3/2016 8:16:07 PM] Rune: All right. Oh, and William,
we're going to want all the fruit we can get. ... you can probably take it out
of my pay if you want.

[6/3/2016 8:16:28 PM] Jamaros: William: "I will provide
you some more."

[6/3/2016 8:16:31 PM] Anna: I'll leave, then. Best wishes, I
suppose.

[6/3/2016 8:16:45 PM] \*\*\* Quill waves and leaves! \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 8:16:56 PM] Rune: I mean on a regular basis. We
made a deal with some people who don't want scurvy.

[6/3/2016 8:16:58 PM] \*\*\* Anna similarly exits the room. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 8:17:04 PM] Creed: "I need to get back to our
house anyway. I have training to do, it was nice to help the previous high
commander live again."

[6/3/2016 8:17:18 PM] \*\*\* Rune follows Anna. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 8:17:34 PM] Jamaros: Cime: "Yes, yes, your work
is appreciated.  Now, please leave."

[6/3/2016 8:17:34 PM] Hank: Hank follows the group

[6/3/2016 8:17:43 PM] Jamaros: William follows you all out
as well.

[6/3/2016 8:18:36 PM] \*\*\* Rune pats Taeral. "I'm just
glad you're all right." \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 8:19:22 PM] Jamaros: Taeral turns towards
you.  He was clearly focusing on
projecting himself until then.
"Sorry, my mind was elsewhere.
Did something happen?"

[6/3/2016 8:20:01 PM] Jamaros: William: "It is never a
dull moment around here, is it?"

[6/3/2016 8:20:13 PM] Rune: No, just... helping with the
spell, that's all. You went all dim. It was very concerning.

[6/3/2016 8:20:42 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "Oh, yes.  I felt a little weakened.  But I feel better now."

[6/3/2016 8:21:20 PM] Jamaros: So, you guys all exit the
guild?

[6/3/2016 8:21:28 PM] Anna: [yeh.]

[6/3/2016 8:21:42 PM] Hank: ( yes  )

[6/3/2016 8:21:47 PM] Rune: Thank goodness. I get worried
when people wander off or get dim.

[6/3/2016 8:21:56 PM] Creed: ( yep )

[6/3/2016 8:21:58 PM] Rune: And why did she think Quill was
my boyfriend, anyway.

[6/3/2016 8:22:02 PM] Rune: ((Yeah!))

[6/3/2016 8:22:21 PM] Jamaros: William: "I think it was
because the two of you went off on your own for a bit."

[6/3/2016 8:22:36 PM] Quill: Clearly we're the best looking.  People just tend to assume that good looking
people pair off.

[6/3/2016 8:22:48 PM] Anna: Well, you two do spend a great
deal of time together, and it can be assumed that you are not siblings.

[6/3/2016 8:23:05 PM] \*\*\* Quill pulls out the letter.  "The dragonborn ambassador passed this
off to us, William." \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 8:23:11 PM] Rune: Then it would be you and Hank,
not you and me.

[6/3/2016 8:23:21 PM] Jamaros: William takes it and begins
reading.

[6/3/2016 8:23:54 PM] Jamaros: Taeral looks between Hank and
Quill.  "You know, I can totally see
it."

[6/3/2016 8:24:15 PM] Rune: Exactly.

[6/3/2016 8:24:50 PM] Quill: Eh, Hank's not my type.  No offense, Hank.

[6/3/2016 8:25:33 PM] Hank: Hank will just walk to the
carriage

[6/3/2016 8:25:57 PM] Jamaros: William finishes the letter.
"This is most interesting.  Any
chance I can hold onto this?"

[6/3/2016 8:26:36 PM] Quill: Sure.  It's more your department than ours anyway.  And I already took notes on it.

[6/3/2016 8:27:50 PM] Creed: "Oh, Quill, did you finish
deciphering that book for me?"

[6/3/2016 8:27:53 PM] Rune: What is the letter?

[6/3/2016 8:27:57 PM] Jamaros: William: "Thank
you.  Please, do yourselves a favor, and
go have fun doing something quiet and not dangerous."

[6/3/2016 8:28:15 PM | Edited 8:28:59 PM] Hank: Is that possible
for us?

[6/3/2016 8:28:18 PM] Creed: "Nope."

[6/3/2016 8:28:42 PM] Jamaros: William: "It's
apparently an intercepted letter about an illicit deal going down at the Green
Dragon in a couple days."

[6/3/2016 8:28:43 PM] Anna: Only sometimes.

[6/3/2016 8:31:16 PM] Rune: Oh, that one.

[6/3/2016 8:31:34 PM] Rune: Well I suppose we could start a
knitting circle...?

[6/3/2016 8:31:43 PM] Quill: The one you just gave me last
night?  Not yet.  I'm working on it, but it's slow going.  IT's archaic undercommon.  More illithid vowels, less drow consonants.

[6/3/2016 8:32:19 PM] Jamaros: William: "So, did Creed
tell you about your colors?"

[6/3/2016 8:32:44 PM] Anna: Very little.

[6/3/2016 8:33:32 PM] Anna: She said the orange one was for
me, so I infer that I am orange.

[6/3/2016 8:34:34 PM] Creed: Creed's eyes flash their usual
flashing at times and she points at each person, telling them the colors of
what they would match with. "Hank, you are Green, Quill is Blue, and Rune
is Yellow."

[6/3/2016 8:34:47 PM] Rune: I hate yellow.

[6/3/2016 8:34:52 PM] Creed: "You're stuck with
it."

[6/3/2016 8:35:18 PM] Quill: Colors?  What colors?

[6/3/2016 8:35:30 PM] Creed: "Colors of our magical
auras, and the colors of the eggs."

[6/3/2016 8:35:46 PM] Jamaros: William: "I was
explaining to Creed earlier, each color corresponds to state from which one
draws power from."

[6/3/2016 8:36:09 PM] Jamaros: William: "Hers is red,
which is about will and passion."

[6/3/2016 8:36:56 PM] Jamaros: William: "Anna's is
orange, which is about compassion, mostly."

[6/3/2016 8:37:19 PM] Jamaros: William: "Yellow
corresponds to ambition and a desire to always better oneself."

[6/3/2016 8:37:31 PM] Rune: I'm fine the way I am. Hmph.

[6/3/2016 8:37:59 PM] Jamaros: William: "Blue is about
desiring information and knowledge."

[6/3/2016 8:38:17 PM] Jamaros: William: "And green is
about protection.  Either yourself or
others."

[6/3/2016 8:38:34 PM] Jamaros: William: "Creed wanted
to know, and I figured the rest of you should know."

[6/3/2016 8:38:56 PM] Anna: The information is certainly
welcome.

[6/3/2016 8:39:09 PM] Jamaros: William: "Any other
questions before I leave?"

[6/3/2016 8:39:43 PM] Quill: Hmm.  I suppose not.

[6/3/2016 8:39:49 PM] Rune: What was with the acorn baby?

[6/3/2016 8:40:05 PM] Jamaros: William: "I am very
confused on that too.  What acorn
baby?"

[6/3/2016 8:40:41 PM] Quill: Rune found an acorn in her head
around the time she had a vision.  She
thought it was because of you.

[6/3/2016 8:41:12 PM] Jamaros: William: "Well, if she
had a vision, it probably came from the tree of space and time."

[6/3/2016 8:41:19 PM] Jamaros: William: "But
baby?"

[6/3/2016 8:41:35 PM] Quill: Acorns, baby trees.

[6/3/2016 8:41:47 PM] Rune: Tiny tree babies.

[6/3/2016 8:41:49 PM] Rune: Obviously.

[6/3/2016 8:42:14 PM] Jamaros: William: "Well, you were
fighting under that tree for a while.  I
guess one just fell out and onto your head."

[6/3/2016 8:43:07 PM] Hank: Would you like a ride William or
are you going to root travel?

[6/3/2016 8:43:19 PM] Rune: All right, just don't reproduce
on me anymore.

[6/3/2016 8:43:34 PM] Jamaros: William: "I don't
reproduce.  I am not the tree.  I live in it."

[6/3/2016 8:43:56 PM] Jamaros: William: "I believe I
will root travel.  It gets me back much
faster."

[6/3/2016 8:44:47 PM] Jamaros: William: "So, have a
nice day."

[6/3/2016 8:44:53 PM] Rune: Oh. Well tell your house not to
reproduce on me, then.

[6/3/2016 8:45:03 PM] Jamaros: William: "I will do
so."

[6/3/2016 8:45:18 PM] Jamaros: William turns, walks away, a
SHLOOP vanishes like before."

[6/3/2016 8:46:13 PM] Hank: Ok let's have Clip and Clop take
us home then.

[6/3/2016 8:46:50 PM] Rune: Is that what you've named them?
I like it.

[6/3/2016 8:47:36 PM] Quill: Sure, we should check up on the
guests.  Maybe after that we can go to a
pub or something.  Maybe that Dragonborn
place we went to the other day.

[6/3/2016 8:49:02 PM] Anna: Perhaps.

[6/3/2016 8:49:04 PM] Hank: Also I didn't want to mention
while William was here but I found a journal in martin’s place that seemed
similar to my father’s journal

[6/3/2016 8:49:17 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "What?"

[6/3/2016 8:49:44 PM] Rune: Did it set you on ice?

[6/3/2016 8:50:00 PM] Hank: It didn't do anything

[6/3/2016 8:50:23 PM] Quill: Similar how?

[6/3/2016 8:51:03 PM] Hank: I will show the journal to
everyone

[6/3/2016 8:52:34 PM] Jamaros: He pulls out this
journal.  The page he opens it out to have
writing similar to the one in both Hank and Quill's books.  However, flipping through, you see most of it
is actually in common script, but the words make no sense.  Save for one you find on a few pages.  "MARQUIS".

[6/3/2016 8:53:24 PM] Quill: Marquis.

[6/3/2016 8:53:36 PM] Quill: That mean anything to
anyone?  (Can I roll History or
whathaveyou?)

[6/3/2016 8:53:45 PM] Jamaros: You may.

[6/3/2016 8:54:24 PM] Hank: Taeral have you seen this before
or know How Martin got it?

[6/3/2016 8:54:30 PM] Quill: ((Nope.))

[6/3/2016 8:54:48 PM] Hank: I saw the name marquis in my father’s
journal

[6/3/2016 8:54:55 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "I haven't seen
this.  But the common pages are written
in a code we used to share back in University."

[6/3/2016 8:54:58 PM] Creed: (( are we all rolling here? ))

[6/3/2016 8:55:04 PM] Rune: And it was mentioned by the
elves we got the egg from.

[6/3/2016 8:55:05 PM] Hank: With a warning not to deal with
him

[6/3/2016 8:55:07 PM] Jamaros: ((Anyone who wants to can))

[6/3/2016 8:55:30 PM] Anna: [22]

[6/3/2016 8:55:33 PM] Creed: (( 18 for me ))

[6/3/2016 8:55:34 PM] Rune: The first egg, the one that
wasn't hideous.

[6/3/2016 8:55:48 PM] Creed: "You're talking about the
red one I have?"

[6/3/2016 8:55:54 PM] Rune: Yes.

[6/3/2016 8:56:16 PM] Creed: "Well you aren't wrong, it
certainly is pretty."

[6/3/2016 8:56:27 PM] Quill: Wait, we have more than one
egg?

[6/3/2016 8:56:38 PM] Creed: "Not yet."

[6/3/2016 8:57:06 PM] Anna: We don't have more than one, but
we know of the location of at least one more.

[6/3/2016 8:58:18 PM] Quill: Where?

[6/3/2016 8:58:45 PM] Hank: Taeral you will be able to decipher
the code that the journal is written in?

[6/3/2016 8:59:24 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "I believe I
can."

[6/3/2016 8:59:39 PM] Rune: I can turn the pages.

[6/3/2016 8:59:52 PM | Edited 9:00:22 PM] Jamaros: Taeral:
"That would be appreciated."

[6/3/2016 9:00:00 PM | Edited 9:01:47 PM] Anna: Also, I
think I remember what that name was. Marquis of Karberas was a servant of the
youngest child of Oberon and Titania.

[6/3/2016 9:00:13 PM] Quill: Hmmm.

[6/3/2016 9:00:15 PM] Hank: The question is does it react
like the other journals?

[6/3/2016 9:00:35 PM] Quill: I was just wondering the same
thing.

[6/3/2016 9:00:42 PM] \*\*\* Quill pulls his Tome of Shadows
out of his satchel. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:00:42 PM] Rune: Probably electricity or acid or
something.

[6/3/2016 9:00:54 PM] Anna: He was of the Autumn court, if I
remember correctly.

[6/3/2016 9:00:57 PM] Rune: What are the four elements for
them?

[6/3/2016 9:01:13 PM] Jamaros: The book does not seem to
react to the Tome of Shadows.

[6/3/2016 9:01:32 PM] Anna: [I GOOFED. SEE ABOVE]

[6/3/2016 9:01:48 PM | Edited 9:02:23 PM] Quill: Hmmm.

[6/3/2016 9:02:18 PM] Jamaros: Taeral begins reading the
book.  I am assuming you are all riding
at this point.

[6/3/2016 9:03:00 PM] \*\*\* Quill pulls out the other book he
recently got from the twins, the book of stories, looking for any references to
the Marquis   . \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:03:10 PM] \*\*\* Anna has turned into a cat, to
save space. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:03:19 PM] Jamaros: Roll investigation, Quill.

[6/3/2016 9:03:24 PM] \*\*\* Rune turns pages for him, and
starts taking dictation from Taeral. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:03:54 PM] Quill: ((8))

[6/3/2016 9:04:02 PM] Quill: (( 8 ))

[6/3/2016 9:06:17 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "These appear to
be notes on his work.  All different
attempts towards immortality."

[6/3/2016 9:06:35 PM] Creed: "Oh... fun."

[6/3/2016 9:06:58 PM] Rune: Why was he so obsessive about
that, anyway? I don't suppose Martin was him.

[6/3/2016 9:07:16 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "I doubt
it.  Martin was very human for as long as
I knew him."

[6/3/2016 9:08:04 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "I think it was
my fault, probably.  I would live so much
longer than he would.  I think...I think
he was jealous."

[6/3/2016 9:08:09 PM] Jamaros: Taeral's face falls.

[6/3/2016 9:08:56 PM] Rune: Well there are other ways of
dealing with that than killing your boyfriend.

[6/3/2016 9:08:56 PM] Hank: You can't blame yourself for martin’s
actions

[6/3/2016 9:09:28 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "Wait,
wait!  Go back!"

[6/3/2016 9:10:08 PM] \*\*\* Rune does. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:11:21 PM] Jamaros: Taeral looks over the page again.  "Another lost cause.  Zachary and Snyder's lives were restored, but
they've become Nothics now.  I have
gotten through on my looking glass.
Maybe this Marquis from my dreams can aid me."

[6/3/2016 9:12:23 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "Day 317.  Success.
I have connected through to the Feywild.
It is not as I expected.  The
colors.  No contact yet."

[6/3/2016 9:12:37 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "...he was
connecting across the planes."

[6/3/2016 9:13:05 PM] Quill: Do we know that this was
Martin?  Or were they just notes that
Martin was working from?

[6/3/2016 9:13:42 PM] Creed: "Are we sure this isn't
Oserik?"

[6/3/2016 9:13:44 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "It was
him.  The other notes are unmistakably
him.  And he was getting visions of this
Marquis, I assume."

[6/3/2016 9:13:54 PM] Creed: "Or Oz, for that
matter."

[6/3/2016 9:14:53 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "He lists
himself by name a few times.  Mostly
about how he shall revolutionize the world."

[6/3/2016 9:15:22 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "These next bits
are not code.  The language just changes
randomly."

[6/3/2016 9:16:06 PM] Quill: The Feywild can really screw
people up.

[6/3/2016 9:17:11 PM] Rune: Is that what happened to you?

[6/3/2016 9:17:48 PM] Quill: ....ouch.

[6/3/2016 9:17:57 PM] Quill: That was unprovoked.

[6/3/2016 9:18:12 PM] Rune: Well something must be wrong
with you, you're hanging around us.

[6/3/2016 9:18:24 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "Now I take
offense at that."

[6/3/2016 9:19:35 PM] Rune: Taeral, you don't have a choice,
I have to carry you around, remember?

[6/3/2016 9:20:17 PM] Quill: So, here's a story about how
the Marquis agreed to serve Karabas until he found a name that he liked,
because he had no name himself.

[6/3/2016 9:20:22 PM] Anna: [afk for a bit]

[6/3/2016 9:21:12 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "I think I found
more code.  Let me see here."

[6/3/2016 9:22:01 PM] \*\*\* Rune moves him closer. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:22:04 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "Success.  The spirit can be held.  It can move and act on its own.  The dealings have been worth it."

[6/3/2016 9:22:10 PM] Jamaros: Taeral:
"...dealings?"

[6/3/2016 9:22:45 PM] Hank: Does that mean he made a trade
or something with this marquis?

[6/3/2016 9:23:08 PM] Jamaros: Hank, make an animal handling
check.

[6/3/2016 9:23:26 PM] Quill: Could be.

[6/3/2016 9:23:41 PM] Quill: Or he found someone else in the
Feywild to deal with.

[6/3/2016 9:24:16 PM] Hank: (16. )

[6/3/2016 9:24:20 PM] Jamaros: There's a large crack in the
road.  You successfully maneuver around
it, but the back is jostled a bit.  Rune,
can you make a dex check for me real quick?

[6/3/2016 9:25:59 PM | Edited 9:26:33 PM] Jamaros: A folded
paper slips out of the journal.  Rune,
you manage to grab it.  It seems to be
printed on different paper than the rest of the pages.

[6/3/2016 9:27:14 PM] Josie: This one's different. Here.

[6/3/2016 9:27:19 PM] \*\*\* Josie opens it up and shows it to
Taeral. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:27:44 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "No, it's more
of that writing from the other books.
The handwriting's very different though.
Much neater."

[6/3/2016 9:28:07 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "Do you still
have a Decipher Script spell handy?
Maybe you can translate it that way."

[6/3/2016 9:28:18 PM] Anna: Mew?

[6/3/2016 9:28:33 PM] Jamaros: ((are you a cat now?))

[6/3/2016 9:28:41 PM] Quill: ((She's been a cat.))

[6/3/2016 9:28:46 PM] Josie: Right.

[6/3/2016 9:28:50 PM] Jamaros: ((oh))

[6/3/2016 9:28:54 PM] \*\*\* Josie casts Decipher Script and
checks the writing. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:31:55 PM] Josie: Oh... dear.

[6/3/2016 9:32:02 PM] Josie: Martin was a lot worse than we
thought.

[6/3/2016 9:32:06 PM] Quill: Uh oh.

[6/3/2016 9:32:12 PM] Anna: Miu?

[6/3/2016 9:32:18 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "What?"

[6/3/2016 9:32:22 PM] Josie: It's a contract.

[6/3/2016 9:32:23 PM] Hank: How?

[6/3/2016 9:32:30 PM] Creed: "Oh, fun."

[6/3/2016 9:32:41 PM] Josie: Between Martin and the Marquis.
Martin got the soul transference knowledge, Marquis got the bodies.

[6/3/2016 9:32:55 PM] \*\*\* Anna looks rather perturbed, which
is quite easy for a cat. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:33:17 PM] \*\*\* Josie pets Anna. And her own
kitty, whoever sees more amenable. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:33:25 PM] Creed: "Sounds like a devil,
then."

[6/3/2016 9:33:53 PM] Quill: Or just a fae.  Contracts aren't exactly exclusive to the
hells.

[6/3/2016 9:34:00 PM] \*\*\* Anna is quite receptive to chin-skritchies.
\*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:34:15 PM] Creed: "Contracts are used
between devils and fae, yes, but at least this excludes demons."

[6/3/2016 9:34:26 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "...all the
bodies?  Like...my body?"

[6/3/2016 9:34:30 PM] Hank: Why would the marquis want the bodies,
and does that mean that Taeral’s body is somewhere?

[6/3/2016 9:34:33 PM] Josie: Yes.

[6/3/2016 9:34:34 PM] Creed: "It's possible."

[6/3/2016 9:34:38 PM] \*\*\* Quill nods. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:34:52 PM] Josie: ... I'm sorry. We didn't think
to burn it. It's all right, we'll get you a new one.

[6/3/2016 9:35:19 PM] Quill: ...where did you leave it?  This was before I joined up with you guys.

[6/3/2016 9:36:12 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "Last I
remember, it was in my home when...when Martin sort of blew everything
up."

[6/3/2016 9:36:46 PM] Quill: Have you been back to your home
since you got trapped in there?

[6/3/2016 9:36:52 PM] Hank: The bodies from the killer were
collected in the morgue. Then sent to the families

[6/3/2016 9:37:49 PM] Hank: Potentially Taeral’s body would
still be in the morgue?

[6/3/2016 9:38:25 PM] Josie:
... I suppose we had better go look. I wanted soup.

[6/3/2016 9:38:27 PM] \*\*\* Josie sighs. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:38:47 PM] Hank: We don't all have to go

[6/3/2016 9:39:15 PM] Quill: That's true.

[6/3/2016 9:39:35 PM] Josie: If we don't all go they'll all
come alive and beat up on whoever does.

[6/3/2016 9:39:55 PM] Hank: That is a pessimistic outlook

[6/3/2016 9:40:14 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "I suppose we
could wait until tomorrow."

[6/3/2016 9:40:22 PM] Josie: Besides, there's only one
carriage.

[6/3/2016 9:40:25 PM] Josie: And no, we shouldn't wait.

[6/3/2016 9:40:47 PM] Hank: I can drop you guys off then
head over there real quick

[6/3/2016 9:41:03 PM] Josie: I think we should all go.

[6/3/2016 9:41:19 PM] Hank: I thought you wanted soup?

[6/3/2016 9:41:33 PM] Jamaros: You are approaching the HQ at
this point, btw.

[6/3/2016 9:41:44 PM] Josie: I'm not going to want any after
this.

[6/3/2016 9:41:45 PM] \*\*\* Anna is currently a small grey
kitten, by the way. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:41:53 PM] Quill: We'll stop in, check on things,
then head out.

[6/3/2016 9:41:53 PM] \*\*\* Josie cuddles the Annakitty. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:42:09 PM] Anna: Mew!

[6/3/2016 9:42:16 PM] Hank: It will be easier to get in the
morgue without a big group

[6/3/2016 9:42:37 PM | Removed 9:43:11 PM] Jamaros: This
message has been removed.

[6/3/2016 9:42:51 PM] Jamaros: Sorry, I will not comment.

[6/3/2016 9:43:04 PM] Josie: Well, you can go in and we'll
wait for the screams.

[6/3/2016 9:43:19 PM] \*\*\* Josie pats Taeral absentmindedly.
\*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:43:46 PM] Jamaros: As you get to your home, you
notice the door is open and chunks of stone are out front.  Indicating either work on your walls...or a
fight.

[6/3/2016 9:43:59 PM] Quill: ... I hope they're working on
the walls.

[6/3/2016 9:44:00 PM] Jamaros: Or anything really, you don't
know.

[6/3/2016 9:44:05 PM] Josie: .... me too.

[6/3/2016 9:44:27 PM] Jamaros: Is everyone going in, are
some staying in the carriage, who's doing what?

[6/3/2016 9:44:44 PM] \*\*\* Quill is going in. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:45:03 PM] Hank: Hank will stay with the carriage
for now

[6/3/2016 9:45:23 PM] \*\*\* Anna heads towards the house
carefully, looking around. She turns into a humanoid on her way out. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:45:35 PM] Josie: ... Taeral? Do you want to go
with Hank or stay here?

[6/3/2016 9:45:37 PM] Creed: Creed will follow.

[6/3/2016 9:46:31 PM] Anna: [rollin' perception to look for
suspicious things, or friendly workers. 14]

[6/3/2016 9:46:38 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "Hank, shall we
go alone?"

[6/3/2016 9:46:56 PM] Josie: .... do you want me to come
with?

[6/3/2016 9:47:30 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "I would like it.  But if you want soup, I'd understand."

[6/3/2016 9:47:42 PM] Hank: If you want to but we should
head over now

[6/3/2016 9:47:42 PM] Josie: No, I'm going with.

[6/3/2016 9:48:08 PM] Jamaros: Ok, so, if I am reading this
right, Hank and Rune take Taeral to the morgue.
And the rest are going inside.

[6/3/2016 9:48:08 PM] Josie: Let's go.

[6/3/2016 9:48:16 PM] Hank: Yep

[6/3/2016 9:48:36 PM] Quill: (I already said I went in, so I
guess so.)

[6/3/2016 9:48:59 PM] Jamaros: Those of you who enter the
house see that an entire wall between two cells is gone.

[6/3/2016 9:49:01 PM] Josie: ((You guys get to make sure the
devilwomen didn't burn the place down!))

[6/3/2016 9:49:13 PM] Jamaros: You also find Belza and Helga
moving a hunk of stone.

[6/3/2016 9:49:14 PM] Creed: (( they wouldn't have! ))

[6/3/2016 9:49:28 PM] Quill: ((At this point I just assume
that whatever group I'm not with gets the more interesting story.))

[6/3/2016 9:49:38 PM] Creed: (( lol ))

[6/3/2016 9:49:46 PM] Creed: (( you didn't have to come in.
))

[6/3/2016 9:50:22 PM] Quill: ((Well, what happened was that
Quill got out to check in and then Rune and Hank rode off after we got
out.  :p ))

[6/3/2016 9:50:45 PM] Creed: (( rip ))

[6/3/2016 9:51:28 PM] Jamaros: Helga waves as you come in.

[6/3/2016 9:51:38 PM] Jamaros: Helga:
"Hey...so...uh...this is new."

[6/3/2016 9:51:53 PM] Creed: "No troubles, I
assume?"

[6/3/2016 9:52:13 PM] Jamaros: Belza looks annoyed, but she
always looks like that.

[6/3/2016 9:52:19 PM] Jamaros: They drop the stone.

[6/3/2016 9:52:43 PM] Jamaros: Helga: "Yeah, no.  The other one explained things.  In my head.
Which was weird."

[6/3/2016 9:53:08 PM] Quill: Have they been helpful?

[6/3/2016 9:54:25 PM] Jamaros: Helga: "Extremely.  This one...uh...Belza, right?"

[6/3/2016 9:54:29 PM] Jamaros: Belza nods.

[6/3/2016 9:54:35 PM] Jamaros: Helga: "She can lift a
whole lot."

[6/3/2016 9:55:50 PM] Creed: "I'm not surprised,
honestly."

[6/3/2016 9:56:53 PM | Edited 9:57:22 PM] Creed: "And
the other one?"

[6/3/2016 9:57:00 PM] Creed: "Where is Tiprus?"

[6/3/2016 9:57:12 PM] Jamaros: Helga: "Helping Torra in
the kitchen.

[6/3/2016 9:58:21 PM] \*\*\* Quill nods. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 9:58:55 PM] Jamaros: Tiprus comes out.  She is only wearing her torso armor and
helmet.  The armor on her arms and legs
has been removed.  Belza looks disgusted
and looks away.

[6/3/2016 9:59:14 PM] Jamaros: It basically looks like she's
wearing an armor version of shorts and a tee-shirt...kinda.

[6/3/2016 10:02:27 PM] \*\*\* Quill waves.  "Creed, do they have any other clothes
or is it just all armor all the time?" \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:02:46 PM] Jamaros: ((You only picked them up
with what they had on))

[6/3/2016 10:03:17 PM] Creed: "We haven't gone shopping
for actual clothing for them yet. Last time we went out we just got beds."

[6/3/2016 10:04:08 PM] Anna: Welp. That's not exactly
something I could have predicted seeing.

[6/3/2016 10:04:16 PM] \*\*\* Anna looks away. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:04:53 PM] Quill: Well, we should probably get
them some normal non-armor clothes.

[6/3/2016 10:05:12 PM] Anna: Probably.

[6/3/2016 10:08:51 PM] Creed: "That was the plan when
we got back, but if they're busy helping with renovations it can wait for
later."

[6/3/2016 10:08:51 PM] \*\*\* Quill looks at Helga.  "Anything else?  Any messages?
Assassins come for us while we were away?" \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:09:59 PM] Jamaros: Helga:
"...um...no...there was a gurgling from the basement.  Not sure what that was about."

[6/3/2016 10:11:39 PM] Creed: Creed will go check the
basement.

[6/3/2016 10:11:53 PM] \*\*\* Anna will accompany her. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:12:44 PM] Jamaros: The door is locked.

[6/3/2016 10:12:48 PM] \*\*\* Quill goes too. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:12:59 PM] Creed: well you know what this means.

[6/3/2016 10:13:18 PM] Creed: (( fail rolls GO ))

[6/3/2016 10:13:28 PM] Creed: "Did someone change the
lock?"

[6/3/2016 10:13:48 PM] Creed: (( it was an 8 btw ))

[6/3/2016 10:14:12 PM] Jamaros: Helga holds out a key.  "Wanna try this?  We found it in the wall today."

[6/3/2016 10:14:30 PM] Creed: "Sure...” Creed tries the
key.

[6/3/2016 10:14:56 PM] Jamaros: It works.  The door opens.

[6/3/2016 10:15:18 PM] Quill: That's.... weird.

[6/3/2016 10:15:22 PM] Creed: Dark vision if it's dark, but
Creed will progress nonetheless

[6/3/2016 10:15:34 PM] Jamaros: Do you guys follow creed?

[6/3/2016 10:15:35 PM] \*\*\* Quill goes too. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:15:54 PM] \*\*\* Anna tags along, quite wary. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:16:24 PM] Jamaros: Ok, you guys all go
down.  Those of you with no darkvision
just see a lot of blackness.

[6/3/2016 10:16:37 PM] \*\*\* Quill conjures dancing lights.
\*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:16:53 PM] Jamaros: The lights bounce around the
room, revealing a mass at the far side.

[6/3/2016 10:17:04 PM] Jamaros: It looks like that.

[6/3/2016 10:17:27 PM] Creed: (( I don't see anything ))

[6/3/2016 10:17:39 PM] \*\*\* Quill swears in drow. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:17:52 PM] Jamaros: ((You guys don't see a
map?))

[6/3/2016 10:17:58 PM] Quill: ((I see it.))

[6/3/2016 10:18:01 PM] Creed: (( I see a blank white map ))

[6/3/2016 10:18:11 PM] Creed: (( there it is ))

[6/3/2016 10:18:21 PM] Creed: (( oh snap, two quills ))

[6/3/2016 10:18:25 PM] Creed: (( what is this sorcery ))

[6/3/2016 10:18:34 PM] Anna: WHAT.

[6/3/2016 10:19:01 PM] Jamaros: It is moving, and it is
growing.

[6/3/2016 10:19:04 PM] Quill: ((Can we make checks to
identify the monstrous shoggoth?

[6/3/2016 10:19:45 PM] Creed: "One of you go get Tiprus
and Belza."

[6/3/2016 10:19:56 PM] Jamaros: Give me an arcana check.

[6/3/2016 10:20:14 PM] Creed: (13 arcana)

[6/3/2016 10:20:15 PM] Anna: [18]

[6/3/2016 10:20:35 PM] Quill: ((12))

[6/3/2016 10:23:11 PM] Jamaros: You see it getting bigger.

[6/3/2016 10:23:57 PM | Edited 10:26:03 PM] Anna: That
Horror is a Gibbering Mouther. It's essentially a lot of dead bodies mashed
together with magic.

[6/3/2016 10:24:01 PM] Jamaros: And I'd like everyone to
roll initiative.

[6/3/2016 10:24:05 PM] Quill: Ohhhhh, good.

[6/3/2016 10:24:33 PM] Creed: "Great..."

[6/3/2016 10:25:14 PM] Jamaros: ((Sorry, I got that
wrong.  Gibbering Mouther.  But, you know, whatever))

[6/3/2016 10:25:58 PM] Anna: ['s alright. Edit is a thing.]

[6/3/2016 10:26:13 PM] Quill: I for one am very happy that
the Hellmouth we sleep over is dormant, aren't you?

[6/3/2016 10:26:17 PM] Jamaros: Anna's first.

[6/3/2016 10:27:00 PM] Jamaros: Anna, do what you wanna do.

[6/3/2016 10:28:02 PM] Creed: "Doesn't look very
dormant to me."

[6/3/2016 10:28:16 PM] \*\*\* Anna casts Moonbeam on the thing,
then is Bear. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:28:29 PM] Anna: GROOOOOOOOAR!

[6/3/2016 10:28:53 PM] Jamaros: Ok, what's the save again?

[6/3/2016 10:29:19 PM] Anna: [13]

[6/3/2016 10:30:05 PM] Jamaros: ((...now, I mean, what do I
roll?))

[6/3/2016 10:30:55 PM] Anna: [CON. Sorreh.]

[6/3/2016 10:31:18 PM] Jamaros: It makes its save.  Roll Damage.

[6/3/2016 10:31:58 PM] Jamaros: Ok, 11 damage.  It seems to burn a little, but not much.

[6/3/2016 10:32:04 PM] Jamaros: It looks pretty hearty.

[6/3/2016 10:32:56 PM] Jamaros: Ok, Creed, your turn.

[6/3/2016 10:33:05 PM] Creed: hmm

[6/3/2016 10:33:37 PM] Anna: [In any case, it looks like you
took my advice!]

[6/3/2016 10:33:58 PM] Jamaros: Given the size of this room,
I will say every two space is five feet, instead of one.

[6/3/2016 10:34:23 PM] Creed: Creed will prepare shocking
grasp and take her weapons out.

[6/3/2016 10:35:17 PM] Jamaros: Ok.

[6/3/2016 10:35:26 PM] Jamaros: Sorry, did either of you
wanna move?

[6/3/2016 10:35:44 PM] Creed: Nope, Creed doesn't wanna get
near that thing.

[6/3/2016 10:36:30 PM] Anna: [thanks for reminding me.]

[6/3/2016 10:36:54 PM] Jamaros: Ok.  Then it's the mouther's turn.

[6/3/2016 10:37:12 PM] Jamaros: First, I need Anna to make a
wisdom save.

[6/3/2016 10:37:47 PM] Anna: [pthbbt! 7]

[6/3/2016 10:38:47 PM] Jamaros: Anna, the various voices of
the mouther gibbering get to you, overpower you.  You cannot take a reaction and are stuck
until your next turn.

[6/3/2016 10:39:11 PM] Jamaros: Oh, and I forgot.  Roll damage for the moonbeam.

[6/3/2016 10:39:49 PM] \*\*\* Anna claws at her snout.

"RWURRUUUUU" \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:40:33 PM] Jamaros: He makes his save, so it's
halved again.

[6/3/2016 10:40:51 PM] Creed: wait hold up uh

[6/3/2016 10:40:54 PM] Creed: what about Quill?

[6/3/2016 10:41:06 PM] Quill: ((I'm after the monster.))

[6/3/2016 10:41:16 PM] Creed: (( oh I thought he skipped you
somehow ))

[6/3/2016 10:41:21 PM] Creed: (( just making sure! ))

[6/3/2016 10:41:46 PM] Jamaros: The mouther moves up and
bites at you.

[6/3/2016 10:42:05 PM] Jamaros: I'm guessing a 14 misses,
Anna?

[6/3/2016 10:42:45 PM] Anna: [as a bear, no. It hits. As I
said, animals have craptastic AC, usually.]

[6/3/2016 10:43:15 PM] Jamaros: He ends his turn by
growing.  As he does so, some of his
burning vanishes.

[6/3/2016 10:43:18 PM] Jamaros: Quill.

[6/3/2016 10:44:43 PM] \*\*\* Quill is going to cast a Hex on
the monster with a bonus action, then blast it. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:45:25 PM] Jamaros: That hits.

[6/3/2016 10:45:33 PM] Jamaros: A nice chunk of it is blown
off.

[6/3/2016 10:45:33 PM] \*\*\* Quill blasts it for a total of 9
damage. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:46:59 PM] Jamaros: Unless you wanna move, it's
now Anna's turn.

[6/3/2016 10:47:25 PM] Quill: I'm staying where I am.

[6/3/2016 10:48:40 PM] \*\*\* Anna attempts to maul the thing,
hopefully ripping off some good chunks. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 10:49:06 PM] Anna: [...and drops her teeth.]

[6/3/2016 10:49:15 PM] Jamaros: Wait, sorry.

[6/3/2016 10:49:23 PM] Jamaros: Roll another WIS check
first.

[6/3/2016 10:49:52 PM] Anna: [13]

[6/3/2016 10:50:30 PM] Jamaros: I'm sorry, you don't do any
of that.

[6/3/2016 10:50:49 PM] Anna: confused bear noises

[6/3/2016 10:51:00 PM] Jamaros: In your madness from the
gibbering you instead...attack the closest thing to you.

[6/3/2016 10:51:03 PM] Jamaros: Which is the mouther.

[6/3/2016 10:51:07 PM] Jamaros: ...so, you do.

[6/3/2016 10:51:15 PM] Jamaros: Roll damage for the claws.

[6/3/2016 10:51:25 PM] Quill: ((What a roller coaster!))

[6/3/2016 10:51:42 PM] Creed: (( what thrills!! ))

[6/3/2016 10:51:50 PM] Jamaros: ((Stupid dice))

[6/3/2016 10:52:02 PM] Creed: (( I love it ))

[6/3/2016 10:52:06 PM] Jamaros: ((Sorry, two crazy things
going at once))

[6/3/2016 10:52:53 PM] Anna: [critfailomania continues! 6]

[6/3/2016 10:53:18 PM] Jamaros: ((You do some damage.  Anything else?))

[6/3/2016 10:53:52 PM] Anna: [nah.]

[6/3/2016 10:55:34 PM] Jamaros: Creed, your turn.

[6/3/2016 10:55:47 PM] Creed: How far is the door to the
basement?

[6/3/2016 10:56:10 PM] Jamaros: Up those stairs.

[6/3/2016 10:56:15 PM] Creed: perfect.

[6/3/2016 10:56:36 PM] Creed: Creed will take a deep breath,
and activate her thaumaturgy to make her voice louder before shouting in her
tongue.

[6/3/2016 10:57:33 PM] Creed: (( from the point of the door
))

[6/3/2016 10:58:04 PM] Jamaros: You call out...maybe they
heard you...you'll find out.

[6/3/2016 10:58:12 PM] Jamaros: For now, that's your turn.

[6/3/2016 10:58:16 PM] Creed: Indeed.

[6/3/2016 10:59:47 PM] Jamaros: Now, it's turn.

[6/3/2016 10:59:59 PM] Jamaros: It will attack Anna.

[6/3/2016 11:00:12 PM] Jamaros: And miss, horribly.

[6/3/2016 11:00:53 PM] Jamaros: It will not grow this turn
and instead spits at Quill and Creed.  I
need both of you to make dex saves.

[6/3/2016 11:01:17 PM] Quill: ((15))

[6/3/2016 11:01:28 PM] Creed: (( 16 ))

[6/3/2016 11:02:10 PM] Jamaros: You both succeed and take
half damage as the caustic spit lands right by you.

[6/3/2016 11:02:19 PM] Quill: (ewwww.))

[6/3/2016 11:02:31 PM] Jamaros: Which comes to one point of
damage each.

[6/3/2016 11:02:37 PM] Creed: ( grooosss )

[6/3/2016 11:02:42 PM] Jamaros: You are also not blinded or
thrown.

[6/3/2016 11:02:54 PM] Creed: (( excellent ))

[6/3/2016 11:03:03 PM] Creed: (( I’d rather not be blinded
by snot thankssss ))

[6/3/2016 11:03:33 PM] Anna: [it's not snot. You don't want
to know what it is.]

[6/3/2016 11:03:33 PM] Jamaros: Quill.

[6/3/2016 11:03:45 PM] Creed: (( ewwwwwww ))

[6/3/2016 11:04:33 PM] \*\*\* Quill will blast it again. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:04:47 PM] Jamaros: Roll it.

[6/3/2016 11:05:37 PM] Quill: ((God.  8.))

[6/3/2016 11:05:39 PM] Jamaros: You just barely miss it.

[6/3/2016 11:05:47 PM] Jamaros: The blast goes wide.

[6/3/2016 11:05:52 PM] Quill: ((That's all I got.))

[6/3/2016 11:06:01 PM] Creed: (( no more magics? ))

[6/3/2016 11:06:10 PM] Quill: ((Well, this turn.))

[6/3/2016 11:06:11 PM] Anna: [does it look more gibbery, or
more mouthy?]

[6/3/2016 11:06:27 PM] Creed: (( does quill have archery
stuffs? ))

[6/3/2016 11:06:40 PM] Quill: ((Nope.))

[6/3/2016 11:06:46 PM] Creed: (( damn ))

[6/3/2016 11:06:54 PM] Jamaros: Ok.  Back to the top.

[6/3/2016 11:07:16 PM] Jamaros: Anna roll WIS.

[6/3/2016 11:07:25 PM] Jamaros: Oh, wait, first, roll
moonbeam.

[6/3/2016 11:07:32 PM] Anna: [also, wasn't it still in the
moonbeam?]

[6/3/2016 11:07:57 PM] Jamaros: He failed and takes full
dam.

[6/3/2016 11:08:03 PM] Creed: oh nooo...

[6/3/2016 11:08:10 PM] Anna: [dat nat 1.]

[6/3/2016 11:08:12 PM] Creed: (( sings the doom song ))

[6/3/2016 11:08:24 PM] Jamaros: You fail and in your
madness, you are unable to do anything.

[6/3/2016 11:08:31 PM] Jamaros: Now, Creed.

[6/3/2016 11:08:44 PM] Creed: (Time for experiments)

[6/3/2016 11:08:52 PM] \*\*\* Anna claws at her snout again,
GROOOOARing in confusion. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:09:16 PM] Creed: Creed will attempt to let the
charge of the shocking grasp into the blade, touching the metal bit first, as
she throws it at the abomination.

[6/3/2016 11:10:03 PM] Jamaros: Make two checks.  An arcana and a dex at disadvantage.

[6/3/2016 11:10:20 PM] Jamaros: Actually, just the arcana,
make the attack at dis.

[6/3/2016 11:10:22 PM] Creed: (( god damnit ))

[6/3/2016 11:10:24 PM] Jamaros: So, just take the 9.

[6/3/2016 11:10:51 PM] Creed: does the 9 even hit?

[6/3/2016 11:11:01 PM] Jamaros: It would.

[6/3/2016 11:11:09 PM] Jamaros: But...the lightning doesn't
shoot out the blade.

[6/3/2016 11:11:15 PM] Creed: okay so 6 damage

[6/3/2016 11:11:25 PM] Jamaros: Did you throw the blade?

[6/3/2016 11:11:29 PM] Creed: Yes.

[6/3/2016 11:12:00 PM] Jamaros: Ok, new attack.

[6/3/2016 11:12:13 PM] Creed: new attack?

[6/3/2016 11:12:28 PM] Jamaros: ...actually, no...sorry, you
were doing a lot of stuff.

[6/3/2016 11:12:42 PM] Jamaros: So, you threw the dagger,
trying to get the lightning to go with it?

[6/3/2016 11:13:02 PM] Creed: yeah sorry, I was using the
precharged shocking grasp with a thrown dagger, in an attempt for the shocking
grasp to transfer.

[6/3/2016 11:13:05 PM] Anna: [don't worry. You've got two
crazinesses going at the same time]

[6/3/2016 11:13:16 PM] Jamaros: Ok, roll sneak attack dam,
since Anna's there.

[6/3/2016 11:13:38 PM] Creed: (( 11 total then ))

[6/3/2016 11:14:03 PM] Jamaros: Ok, the dagger flings in and
hits the creature.  It then sinks into
the putty like body and vanishes.

[6/3/2016 11:14:10 PM] Jamaros: You don't think you'll be getting
it back.

[6/3/2016 11:14:28 PM] Creed: Creed is fine with that, it
was just one she picked up from a blacksmith. Very cheap.

[6/3/2016 11:14:39 PM] Jamaros: Now, the mouther goes.

[6/3/2016 11:15:35 PM] Jamaros: The mouther does not get its
spit back, and does not make either of its attacks on Anna.

[6/3/2016 11:15:41 PM] Jamaros: The mouther sucks.

[6/3/2016 11:15:44 PM] Jamaros: Go Quill.

[6/3/2016 11:15:52 PM] Anna: [it also gibbers]

[6/3/2016 11:16:29 PM] Jamaros: It does.  It still gibbers, and you are still mad.

[6/3/2016 11:17:12 PM] Anna: [in both senses of the word!]

[6/3/2016 11:17:34 PM] Jamaros: Oh, wait, moon beam.

[6/3/2016 11:17:39 PM] Jamaros: Anna, roll moonbeam.

[6/3/2016 11:17:41 PM] \*\*\* Quill makes a face, and forgoes
Eldritch Blast to cast Sacred Flame, which does not require me to make a roll
to hit. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:18:28 PM] Jamaros: It does make its save and
takes half damage from moonbeam.  Quill,
what does it roll for sacred flame?

[6/3/2016 11:19:26 PM] Quill: It hast to make a DC 14 Dex
save.

[6/3/2016 11:20:28 PM] Jamaros: It fails, roll damage.

[6/3/2016 11:21:05 PM] Quill: ((8 total.))

[6/3/2016 11:21:17 PM] Jamaros: He's not down yet, but he
looks super rough.

[6/3/2016 11:21:46 PM | Edited 11:22:24 PM] Quill: That’s
all I got.))

[6/3/2016 11:22:19 PM] Jamaros: It's at this point that two
erinyes fly in and will attack next turn.

[6/3/2016 11:22:26 PM] Jamaros: Back to the top, Anna, roll
wis.

[6/3/2016 11:23:00 PM] Creed: yiss

[6/3/2016 11:23:29 PM] Jamaros: You break the madness, do
what you want.

[6/3/2016 11:24:27 PM] \*\*\* Anna lets out a ferocious roar
and continues to try to rend the Horror. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:24:36 PM] Jamaros: Roll it.

[6/3/2016 11:24:46 PM] Jamaros: Both hit, roll damage.

[6/3/2016 11:25:24 PM] Anna: [21 total]

[6/3/2016 11:25:37 PM] Creed: (( jesus ))

[6/3/2016 11:25:38 PM] Jamaros: You rip the thing to shreds,
and the shreds to shreds.

[6/3/2016 11:25:42 PM] Jamaros: It is the dead.

[6/3/2016 11:25:53 PM] Jamaros: A pile of blood, goop and
bile.

[6/3/2016 11:25:55 PM] Creed: Creed looks at the Erinyes.

[6/3/2016 11:26:08 PM] \*\*\* Anna looks back to the party,
then spits out a chunk of the thing. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:26:18 PM] Quill: You okay, Anna?  That can't have tasted good.

[6/3/2016 11:26:32 PM] Anna: rwurrrrrrr...

[6/3/2016 11:26:53 PM] Jamaros: The goop begins to slip back
into the circle, which is now emitting a black light.

[6/3/2016 11:27:11 PM] Creed: Is the knife left where the
goop used to be?

[6/3/2016 11:27:19 PM | Edited 11:27:56 PM] Creed:
knifedagger

[6/3/2016 11:27:23 PM] Creed: daggerknife

[6/3/2016 11:27:29 PM] \*\*\* Anna doesn't look happy about it.
She is probably knee-deep in viscera, right now. If she were a real bear, she'd
never get the smell out. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:27:41 PM] Jamaros: It is.  It is covered in crap, but you can retrieve
it.

[6/3/2016 11:27:49 PM] Creed: Eugh.

[6/3/2016 11:27:55 PM] Creed: She'll wait for now.

[6/3/2016 11:28:04 PM] \*\*\* Anna bristles at the circle.

"RRRRRRRRRR!" \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:28:10 PM] Creed: Instead she'll draw her
shortsword, so one dagger and one shortsword.

[6/3/2016 11:28:55 PM] \*\*\* Quill asks creed.  "Can you sense anything about that
ominous black glow?" \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:28:57 PM] Creed: "I swear if this thing
reforms into Taeral's body."

[6/3/2016 11:29:10 PM] \*\*\* Creed eyes flash their flash \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:29:54 PM | Edited 11:30:25 PM] Creed:
"It's....really black."

[6/3/2016 11:30:11 PM] Creed: "Disgustingly black,
actually."

[6/3/2016 11:30:37 PM] Quill: Far Realms black?

[6/3/2016 11:30:52 PM] Creed: "Pure black magic
black."

[6/3/2016 11:32:03 PM] Quill: So you're saying that the
hellmouth is not in fact safely dormant.
BIG SURPRISE.

[6/3/2016 11:32:21 PM] Anna: [arcana is 6. Could I roll
History to see if I've seen this before?]

[6/3/2016 11:32:24 PM] Creed: "I told William to bring
in clerics to cleanse the place, god damnit."

[6/3/2016 11:33:11 PM] \*\*\* Creed is talking to the Erinyes,
semi-frantically \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:34:27 PM] \*\*\* Quill looks at the remains of the
mouther. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:35:23 PM] Creed: Creed turns to Quill and hands
him the red egg. "Hold onto this for me for a bit, do not let it out of
your grasp until it's back into mine."

[6/3/2016 11:35:28 PM] Jamaros: The two Erinyes shrug.

[6/3/2016 11:35:40 PM] Quill: Why, what are you planning?

[6/3/2016 11:35:44 PM] \*\*\* Quill takes the egg. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:36:10 PM] \*\*\* Creed runs up to the circle and
jabs at the symbol on the floor, from the corner \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:36:33 PM] \*\*\* Anna is growling and backing
away. Whatever this is, she doesn't like it! \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:37:01 PM] \*\*\* Quill moves up to stand beside
Anna. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:37:08 PM] Jamaros: Poof.  Creed vanishes.

[6/3/2016 11:37:26 PM] Creed: (( did she manage to get the
crack in the symbol? ))

[6/3/2016 11:37:44 PM] Quill: ...vcizthz.

[6/3/2016 11:37:56 PM] \*\*\* Quill swears in Drow. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:38:01 PM] \*\*\* Quill looks at Anna. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:39:07 PM] \*\*\* Anna looks back, about as shocked
as a bear can be. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:39:13 PM] \*\*\* Quill walks up to the circle. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:39:25 PM] Jamaros: Holy shit, it's almost
midnight.

[6/3/2016 11:39:41 PM] Creed: don't you dare

[6/3/2016 11:39:53 PM] Jamaros: :)

[6/3/2016 11:40:02 PM] Anna: [I still didn't get an answer
on whether I can roll history]

[6/3/2016 11:40:23 PM] Jamaros: ((Sure, roll history))

[6/3/2016 11:41:05 PM] Anna: [14. probably not enough,
unless I've seen this before.]

[6/3/2016 11:42:14 PM] Jamaros: You guys know nothing.

[6/3/2016 11:44:28 PM] Anna: [arrrrrgh, of course I get a
pthbbt when something important like this comes up.]

[6/3/2016 11:44:43 PM] Quill: Couldn’t even bloody wait
until the TWO Wizards we hang out with are here?

[6/3/2016 11:45:06 PM] \*\*\* Quill is looking at Anna.  "TWO!" \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:45:46 PM] \*\*\* Anna becomes humanoid again. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:46:38 PM] Quill: Should we follow?

[6/3/2016 11:46:48 PM] \*\*\* Josie wanders in, looking
extremely cranky. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:46:51 PM] Josie: Now what?

[6/3/2016 11:46:53 PM] Quill: She might be getting Gibbering
Mouthed as we speak.

[6/3/2016 11:46:54 PM] Anna: I don't know! AAAAAARGH!

[6/3/2016 11:47:01 PM] Quill: Oh, he Hellmouth is open and
Creed walked in.

[6/3/2016 11:47:03 PM] Josie: AARRGH!

[6/3/2016 11:47:16 PM] \*\*\* Quill points to the glowing
symbol. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:47:18 PM] \*\*\* Josie jumps half out of her skin
there for a moment. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:47:38 PM] Josie: Oh, you startled me. .... you
didn't pour blood on it, did you?

[6/3/2016 11:47:45 PM] \*\*\* Josie peers, and holds Taeral up
to it so he can too. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:48:19 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "GOOD FUCKING
LORDS!  WHAT IN THE--HOW--WHY?!?"

[6/3/2016 11:48:20 PM] Anna: No, a VOID-ACCURSED PILE OF
MISBEGOTTEN FLESH MELTED ON IT.

[6/3/2016 11:48:21 PM] Quill: No, it was that way when we
got here.   There was a Mouthing
Gibberer, which we killed and then the evil black glow, and then Creed walked
into--wherever.

[6/3/2016 11:48:46 PM] Josie: Oh.

[6/3/2016 11:48:52 PM] Josie: Well, maybe she went to hell.

[6/3/2016 11:48:54 PM] Quill: Wizards!  What is it?

[6/3/2016 11:49:01 PM] \*\*\* Quill asks Taeral and Rune. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:49:02 PM] Josie: I mean, she wanted to go there
anyway.

[6/3/2016 11:49:08 PM] \*\*\* Josie peers. \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:49:20 PM] Anna: I've wracked my mechanical
brain, and I've got NOTHING.

[6/3/2016 11:49:29 PM] Josie: ((15 | 24 Arcana.))

[6/3/2016 11:49:37 PM] Anna: Although, I guess that is to be
expected.

[6/3/2016 11:49:58 PM] \*\*\* Quill looks at the Erinyes.  "What did she say to you?" \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:50:05 PM] Josie: ....

[6/3/2016 11:51:02 PM] Josie: Well, it's... not hell.

[6/3/2016 11:51:12 PM] Josie: She's gone to death.

[6/3/2016 11:51:27 PM] Anna: What?

[6/3/2016 11:51:58 PM] Josie: Death.

[6/3/2016 11:52:18 PM] Anna: Can we get her back from there,
or is she, well, dead?

[6/3/2016 11:52:20 PM] Josie: Death's domain. The land
belonging to Death. The plane.

[6/3/2016 11:53:00 PM] Quill: Ohhhhhh.

[6/3/2016 11:53:01 PM] Josie: I don't know. Taeral, what do
you think? I don't know anything about this sort of thing.

[6/3/2016 11:53:29 PM] Jamaros: Taeral: "Well...we
could...um..."

[6/3/2016 11:53:52 PM] Josie: By the way, Hank made a deal
with the horrifically powerful Marquis that will probably, given our luck, put
William in a coma and allow the borders between the planes to rupture. But
that's pure speculation on my part. And pessimism, there's a lot of pessimism
there too.

[6/3/2016 11:53:53 PM] Anna: Are there any environmental
hazards to be aware of?

[6/3/2016 11:54:17 PM] \*\*\* Quill blinks.  "HE WHAT." \*\*\*

[6/3/2016 11:54:18 PM] Anna: WHAT.

[6/3/2016 11:54:23 PM] Josie: Next time people want to split
up and I say "let's not do that" can we please not do that.

[6/3/2016 11:54:28 PM] Anna: WHAT THE WHAT.

[6/3/2016 11:54:50 PM] Quill: I didn't think we were splitting
up until I got off the carriage and saw you guys driving off.

[6/3/2016 11:55:07 PM] Josie: We got to the corpse place. We
checked for bodies. There weren't any. There was a pile of leaves instead. One
of the leaves had eyes and started to talk to us. It was an asshole.

[6/3/2016 11:55:07 PM] Anna: [in celestial] WHAT IN THE NAME
OF ALL THAT IS STILL HOLY IN THIS WORLD???

[6/3/2016 11:56:05 PM] Josie: Then it blew us out of the
room into a void which may or may not have been illusion and it offered a deal
that we had to tell William a single word and then we'd be fine and he'd try to
find Hank's dad for us. And Hank agreed to do it and now he's got a mark on the
back of his neck that might be a geas.

[6/3/2016 11:56:26 PM] Josie: And I TOLD HIM NOT TO DO IT
BUT HE DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME, OH NO WHY WOULD YOU LISTEN TO THE ACTUAL WIZARD.

[6/3/2016 11:56:33 PM] Creed: (( and now hank is guts from
berserk ))

[6/3/2016 11:57:08 PM] Josie: And the void was probably just
an illusion anyway.

[6/3/2016 11:57:30 PM] Quill: Most likely.

[6/3/2016 11:57:50 PM] Josie: And you just know it's not
just a word, and the word is a word that sounds like something to make the
seasons go on to the next and with our luck it's part of a spell that'll set
William's tree to the next season so that he goes dormant and nobody will be
here to plug the holes anymore.

[6/3/2016 11:58:03 PM] Josie: ... but that's just a theory.

[6/3/2016 11:58:06 PM] Quill: Okay.   We should go after Creed before she comes
back having adopted three medium sized Grim Reapers.

[6/3/2016 11:58:17 PM] Josie: I don't want any Grim Reapers.

[6/3/2016 11:58:22 PM] Quill: Then we come back and berate
Hank.

[6/3/2016 11:58:35 PM] Anna: Hold on.

[6/3/2016 11:58:36 PM] Josie: ... a hellhound might be all
right if we can train it not to widdle fire on the carpet.

[6/3/2016 11:58:37 PM] Jamaros: Poof.  Creed's back.

[6/3/2016 11:59:03 PM] Anna: WAIT WHAT

[6/3/2016 11:59:14 PM] Josie: Is everyone daft?

[6/3/2016 11:59:20 PM] Creed: "Well that was a unique
interaction."

[6/3/2016 11:59:33 PM] Creed: "Oh, hi Rune. When did
you get here?"
