Also, session is in 6 hours, 12 minutes.

You don't read MSPA by any chance, do you?

Nope. Why, did I accidentally make a reference?

Yes. Yes you did.

[Shoruke]

Van, Corina, and Nael receive their journal experience.

Also, I apparently forgot that we were supposed to be naming the bote. Thus far, the entries are:
Sand's Zephyr
Blind Zyphyr
Desert Wind
Sand Blaster
Coarse Courser

I kinda thought we'd have more entries than this     Oh well, guess I'll just set up the poll anyway and if there's a bunch more suggestions, I can always just reset it...

EDIT: Mystellar also receives her journal experience. (how did I miss it? Was it because it wasn't spoiler'd like the others?)

[Araph]

Game in 1 1/2 hours?

[Shoruke]

Game in 1 1/2 hours?

Yes. Be there or be a four-sided two-dimensional polygon with two sets of parallel sides perpendicular to the other pair with four right angles and each edge of equivalent length.

[Heron TSG]

Be there or be a four-sided two-dimensional polygon with two sets of parallel sides perpendicular to the other pair with four right angles and each edge of equivalent length...

...whose diagonals are perpendicular to one another and are also equivalent in length.

Anyway, very slight change of plans here. I may or may not be late (up to half an hour), and I'll be using my home computer. No traveling today.

[RAM]

My Hamachis are up and my- Oooooh shiny!

Here's the picture for my new character's pog:



Given how simplistic it is, just scale it however you need to make it fit.

[Shoruke]

Server is up.

Game in 8 minutes.

Supposedly.

Also, Mythweavers is bugging the bork out, so... that may pose some problems. We'll see.

[RedWarrior0]

I can make it late. However, something is fucked up between Hamachi, the hotel connection, and Maptools.

[Heron TSG]

If you're having trouble joining the hamachi network, you could try joining the 2nd one. The first is kinda full.

[RedWarrior0]

No, I'm in the network, but it says I have no connection

[Jusman]

Would it be possible to sit in on a session but not play? I'd like to watch.

[Shoruke]

The party, using their finite reserves of human learning capacity, have decided to split into not two, but THREE groups! The park group (Ethan, Lyca, and Van), the ship group (Nael, Arrus), and the gate group (Pheron, Maelrigar, Mystellar, Tallulah). That last one may be further split into the "staying at the gate" group and the "going to the mage guild" group. I suspect that this may be subject to revision, because whatever the hell kind of "plan" this is shaping up to be is... um... still in the shaping up part of becoming a plan. Yeesh.

Anyway, there were noisy bats, and a church of loot and travelling with an off-hand reference to the plot, and a mechanism from DF used to open the drawbridge that allows sandfliers to sail into the city and dock at the... dock. Then the group split into three groups, and may possibly split into a FOURTH soon, pending tactical discussion from the group. Next session is going to be fun.

Anyway, journals are worth 100 exp per currently character level for everyone who joined the session today. That even includes Tallulah, if you can glean enough info to make a decent journal.

Also, because this week is no-school week, I think we can have an EXTRA SESSION on one of the weekdays! So everyone post what days you'd be available to play over the next week, and whether you'd prefer to have the session start at the usual time or two or three hours earlier.

P.S. given that Ethan shows up for the start of the next session, he's got a random encounter to get through with Van (whose location is defined as "wherever the group needs my blinktankiness most")

The Drawbridge lowered, Pheron takes a minute to update his journal.

Spoiler: Journal of Pheron (click to show/hide)

Despite Akoth's desire to get a way home as fast as possible, we decided to go explore a nearby temple. Along the way we ran into some bat like creatures. We attempted to communicate with them, and they clearly made the same attempt back, but no meaningful dialog was reached. Nael attempted to go closer to continue the communication, but the creatures didn't like that. They made some kind of odd sound and Nael stopped in his tracks. This apparently angered Maelrigar, who immediately threw a blade and struck three of the batmen down. The creatures took to the air. Maelrigar zapped one out of the air and it landed on top of him, unconscious. The other two flew off to the north. Myself and Van worked to stabilize the creatures Maelrigar struck down while most of the rest of the group chased off the other two. When they were stabilized we all left to search a nearby temple. It turned out to be dedicated to the god of roads. We searched the temple for anything valuable. A journal was discovered mentioning bat like abominations and the other side of the world. It was probably connected to the evil summoning that occurred in the mines. We decided to check out the dock before we went to the city center. Somewhere along the way from the temple to the dock Ethan and van wandered off. I was too busy looking at the ruins to really recall exactly where that was. At the docks we found very little intact, but plenty of resources for salvage and improvement. Arrus and Nael decided to go back and get the ship and pull it into the dock, while the rest of us lowered the drawbridge. We plan to head to the city center while Arrus and Nael sail the ship to the dock. Hopefully Ethan and Van figure out where we took the ship while they were off doing whatever they are doing.

 Maelrigar has interviewed the Azer, and it seems genuinely lost, its thoughts betraying a genuine desire to return to its origin, though it seems unusually bereft of ambitions...

 With that concluded we again explored the town. It was largely deserted except for a band of bat-folk. They seemed willing to avoid conflict but one of our number approached them and they reacted with hostility, and were subsequently driven away, losing some of their number.

 In time we reached a temple to the so-called god of travellers, as expected no time was wasted stripping it of its treasures, we shall see if anything comes of this...

 The temple was adjacent to the docks, which are now open and store a number of valuable items that could be added to our vessel. We also found stable mooring and could dock there. The residents of the city seem few in number and small in threat, but we have not seen the city at night...

 Apparently the vessels relocation to the docks is a matter of urgency, with some of our number retiring immediately to see it done. I am not myself convinced of this urgency, and am inclined to investigate the apparent bounty that lies within the mage guild...
