1:24 PM - The GM: Ferdinand, Francis, Aqizzar and his porters are all standing at a crossroads, half a mile away from the city. To their south lies the mountains that mark the border between the kingdom and the empire, and to their east, some miles away, lies the forest. To their west, the open planes. the light of the burning city does not reach as far as here, but is casting a creepy light show behind you.
1:25 PM - The GM: Aqizzar says "We should keep moving."
1:25 PM - The GM: "We can find a place to camp once we're a safe distance away from the city."
1:27 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "We'll have to remember to have someone keep watch. There's wolves and other dangerous wildlife out here."
1:28 PM - The GM: "No shortage of watchmen here," says Aqizzar, motioning towards his porters.
1:28 PM - The GM: They stand to something vaguely resembling attention.
1:29 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "...Even so, I hink I'll take first watch myself."
1:29 PM - The GM: Aqizzar looks back at his men. "Probably a good call".
1:30 PM - The GM: "So, west?"
1:31 PM - The GM: The party begins to head west. The city burns behind you, but the shadows and shapes in the darkness of the planes fail to manifest themselves as anything deadly.
Rogo 'Burger' Delio disconnected.
1:31 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché DEE SIDES TOO MOO VEH IN THE DIE RECK SHUN AH WAY FROM THE SIT EEE
1:32 PM - The GM: You hear, once or twice, wolves howling, but the air is heavy with dread and it seems even the animals are silent this night, for fear of provoking something awful.
1:32 PM - The GM: Ferdinand is carousing like a tool though.
Rogo 'Burger' Delio entered chat.
1:33 PM - The GM: You are now two miles away from the city and see a frightened clump of people up ahead of you. They're moving in a hurry along the trail, which is beginning to swing south west
1:35 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "They must be survivors from the city. Should we see what's up?"
1:35 PM - The GM: They appear to have stopped to camp for the night.
1:35 PM - Francis Butler: "Do we have food?"
1:36 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "All I've got left on me is a bit of water in my 'skin."
1:36 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché pats the small bottle on his belt
1:37 PM - The GM: The ten of them are all sitting or standing at the side of the road and as you approach one woman screams slightly. An angry looking woman steps up to challenge you.
1:37 PM - Francis Butler: "We could eat them"
1:37 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché gives Francis a cold glance.
1:37 PM - Francis Butler: "We need food"
1:38 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "From petty thievery to cannibalism. I'm beginning to think there's no such thing as rock bottom for you."
1:39 PM - Francis Butler: "No humor at all..."
1:39 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "Try telling a joke first."
1:40 PM - Monica Dolan: "Hey, what is this some kind of joke? We don't have enough to feed you guys, now scram."
1:40 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Hey hey you guys, canabalism is a crime to humanity." A figure walk foward
1:40 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "At any rate, there should be ample wildlife out here. I can at least forage for myself."
1:41 PM - The GM: Aqizzar says "plus, they all look kinda thin and my guys need food too you know."
1:41 PM - Francis Butler: "Yes, I guess we wouldn't have much left after you had your share."
1:41 PM - Monica Dolan: "Alright, whatever. Go get some food for everybody and I'll cook it. Otherwise we don't need more people to look after."
1:42 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "I best advice you three leave right now unless you're willing to help us."
1:42 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "What do you need help with?"
1:42 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Anything man."
1:42 PM - The GM: "I could send some of my guys out foraging, I guess," says Aqizzar. "They'll probably all end up eating each other or something but you know, extra hands and all that.
1:44 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Fine, go scourage the land, in the meanwhile we'll be setting camp for tonight before it gets too dark."
1:45 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "I'm a lot less picky about what I eat than most people. I can still help you hunt and forage, if needed. But I could also help set up camp if you'd rather I did that."
1:45 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "I don't care, make your own decisions."
1:46 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché whispers to Aqizzar
1:46 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "Not the friendliest bunch, are they?"
1:46 PM - The GM: Asking around the camp, Ferdinand quickly discovers that most people just fled the city when the smoke started and reports of slaughter in the street started pouring in. The city guard claimed it was a riot, but nobody is too sure. There's one man who claims he saw two men jump on someone, tear his throat out and then start fighting like a pair of wild dogs but he fled before he could see any more.
Rogo 'Burger' Delio disconnected.
1:47 PM - Monica Dolan: "Alright, everybody not wnating to be a lazy ass follow me. And one of you new guys had better come along and earn your keep."
1:47 PM - The GM: Monica heads out and starts to look for food.
Rogo 'Burger' Delio entered chat.
1:47 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché decides to follow the group heading out to look for food.
1:47 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "I suppose it's unlikely the camp would be attacked anyways."
1:52 PM - The GM: Ferdinand and Monica head out to search for food, followed by the porters who really have nothing else to do. The rest of the party starts to set up camp. They manage to scrounge up several blankets and even get a small fire going.
1:52 PM - Francis Butler twiddles his thumbs.
1:52 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "We should be fine for the night." Burger climbs a nearby tree
1:53 PM - The GM: Monica quickly finds the carcass of a wild dog and what looked, in the dark gloom, like a rock turned out to be an overturned caravan. It's been largly picked clean but there's a crate in there filled with salted pork.
1:53 PM - The GM: Ferdinand finds his own hands and stares at them for most of the hour he's away.
1:54 PM - The GM: Whilst the porters just trip over each other and act like asses the whole time. Eventually they return in shame, whilst Monica returns lugging a crate.
1:54 PM - The GM: People gather round it excitedly. And Rogo falls out of the tree he's decided to climb.
1:55 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Dammit, guess I'll just lay against the tree."
1:55 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "A fair distance from the group."
1:55 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Aloof, hehehe."
1:55 PM - The GM: Aqizzar says "Pork! Hell yes, I am starving."
1:56 PM - The GM: "Anyone here know how to cook?"
1:56 PM - Monica Dolan: "Oh come on, not only do I have to find our food but I also need to cook it? I'm seriously considering booting you guys out now."
1:56 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "A few of us can I think."
1:57 PM - The GM: "What? I run a crew, I don't do everything for myself. So stab me."
1:57 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "If you really don't want to cook then I'll eat it raw."
1:57 PM - The GM: "You can do that? Oh, right, I remember you telling me."
1:58 PM - The GM: Monica takes a bit of pork out and tries to cook it, but drops it in the fire. She can't get it out without putting the fire out now.
1:58 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Oh come on."
1:58 PM - The GM: There are about four more slabs of pork in the crate. People look pissed at the waste of good food.
1:59 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "Sorry I'm not of much help here. If there's nothing else that needs doing, let me know."
2:00 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "Incidentally, I guess I'll take that piece if no one wants it."
2:00 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "We'll get back to you einstein."
2:00 PM - The GM: Aqizzar says "yeah, next time you call us out on not doing anything, make sure it's when you're handing me a big slab of pork, alright?"
2:01 PM - The GM: francis quickly distracts the now slightly fed-up crowd by telling a few jokes. The atmosphere relaxes somewhat.
2:01 PM - The GM: The pork has blackened by this point.
2:03 PM - The GM: Ferdinand makes a quick grab for the blackened pork and takes it out without too much trouble.
2:03 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché pokes the burnt pork with his ENORMOUS AXE ON A STICK THAT'S TALLER THAN EVERYONE HERE
2:05 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "You gonna share or what?"
2:05 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché holds up the pork for Burger to see. It's almost entirely blackened.
2:05 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "You really want this?"
2:06 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Are you really gonna purposely blacken the shit out of that thing so nobody else can eat?"
2:06 PM - Francis Butler: "How selfish"
2:07 PM - The GM: There's like 17 or so pounds worth of pork in there. Coincidentally, there are 17 pieces and it was like this the whole time.
2:07 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Yeah listen to the GM."
2:07 PM - The GM: Aqizzar stares at Burger, "what?"
2:07 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Don't you go by proxy on that dude."
2:07 PM - Monica Dolan: "Alright, fine, if somebody wants to cook go for it."
2:08 PM - Monica Dolan tries one more attempt at cooking a slab of pork
2:10 PM - The GM: Using a pan this time, the attempt is rather more of a success. Monica cooks two pounds worth of pork to deliciousness in about half an hour whilst the sullen refugees talk quietly amongst themselve.s
2:11 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché chomps his juicy, delicious charred and blackened meat
2:11 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "ARGGHHH."
2:12 PM - The GM: Rogo slaps Ferdinand in the side of the head for being disgusting.
2:12 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "When did I get so sissy.
2:14 PM - The GM: Most of the group are trying to get some sleep now.
2:14 PM - The GM: Hintity fucking hint hint.
2:14 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio About to climb tree again.
2:14 PM - The GM: Rogo is once again bested by the tree. He hits the ground with a thud.
2:15 PM - Monica Dolan lays down on a blanket, pretending to sleep for around an hour to make sure the others don't rob them in their sleep
2:15 PM - The GM: Really, this whole night has just been one stooge comedy routine after another. It's a wonder you're all still alive.
Rogo 'Burger' Delio disconnected.
2:15 PM - The GM: Rogo falls asleep where he lies.
2:15 PM - Francis Butler tries to imitate Rogo's treeclimbing feat.
2:16 PM - The GM: Aqizzar sits on the ground and motions for his men to start keeping watch.
2:16 PM - The GM: "You're all insane and I'm going to sleep."
Rogo 'Burger' Delio entered chat.
2:17 PM - The GM: Aqizzar lies back and closes his eyes, his breathing slowly becoming slow and regular.
2:18 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio shakes for a second, like he just had a startling daydream.
2:19 PM - The GM: Aqizzar rolls over and snorts.
2:20 PM - The GM: The night passes quickly. Rogo wakes up once or twice and Monica doesn't really fall asleep until the wee hours of the morning, but you all manage to snatch some sleep.
2:20 PM - The GM: Aqizzar subjects you to a variety of interesting and intimatly detailed little vignette of his dreams throughout the night.
2:21 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: I check the surronding area for danger
2:22 PM - The GM: You wake up to the frightened refugees packing up to leave. Rogo looks around for danger and sure enough, there's a group of horsemen approaching from the north east.
2:22 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio places his two fingers on his temple.
2:22 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: HUUMMMM
2:22 PM - The GM: DANGER ZONE.
2:23 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "I don't trust them."
2:23 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "We should probably get everyone to safety. We're probably still too close to the city to be remotely comfortable. And there's still dangerous wildlife out here, it would be hard to defend against a pack of wolves."
2:23 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "There's horses to the north east."
2:23 PM - The GM: "Whatever you choose to do, you crazy bastard, we're leaving," says one man.
2:23 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "I'll scare them away."
2:24 PM - Monica Dolan: "You guys can do whatever you wan to do. We're leaving for the next town.."
2:24 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Since when we're you leader of this ragtag run away group?
2:25 PM - The GM: The horsemen come to a halt in front of your group. There's about four men, in chainmail armor. The man who appears to be the leader shouts at you "Hail! We heard that there was a catastrophy in Tolnish! What happened and where aree you headed?"
2:26 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "You have brave horses I see."
2:27 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "We barely know what happened ourselves. The city guard said there was a lot of rioting and told us we should flee the city. When we left, we could see there was large fires throughout the place, but we saw no fighting ourselves. The place was practically deserted when we left, too."
2:27 PM - The GM: The man simply stares at you.
2:28 PM - The GM: "Thank you for your help. We have seen several groups of people along this road, but not many people fled this way, it seems. Yours is the only group willing to answer us, the rest merely kept running."
2:28 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "That's because they don't trust you, which makes sense."
2:28 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio eyes the horses suspciously.
2:29 PM - The GM: The men seem confident. They sit tall in the saddle and look down their noses at you although admittedly that's not that hard. They're sitting on a bunch of horses.
2:29 PM - The GM: The leader glares at Rogo.
2:29 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Those arent some fabled humanhorses are they?"
2:29 PM - The GM: "I don't like your tone."
2:30 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Oh shit, he doesn't like me tone."
2:30 PM - The GM: "Do you want me to cut that swift tongue of yours from your mouth?"
2:30 PM - Francis Butler whispers to Ferdinand, "Get a load of THIS hornses ass..."
2:30 PM - The GM: Monica punches Rogo on the arm to shut him up.
2:31 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio grunts
2:31 PM - The GM: Aqizzar steps in. "Ignore him. We've nothing you want and you've nothing we need. City's that way, try not to die."
2:32 PM - The GM: The leader glares at Rogo one last time and nods. "Let's go," he says to his cronies, and they gallop off in the direction of the city.
2:32 PM - Monica Dolan rallies the civilians to continue walking now that the horsemen have left
2:32 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Well they sure helped alot didn't they?"
2:33 PM - The GM: Monica and the civilians begin to head north east towards the nearest town.
2:33 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché follows along just like he was the whole time no railroading here yessirree
2:33 PM - The GM: They quickly leave you guys behind.
2:33 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio runs on in front.
2:34 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "FOLLOW ME MEN."
2:34 PM - Francis Butler follows Rogo.
2:34 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio heads north east.
2:37 PM - The GM: It's some hours later, when the city is a speck in the distance, that the town looms into sight.
2:37 PM - The GM: The group of refugees let out crys of relief.
2:37 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: da da da da DANGER SENSE
2:39 PM - The GM: Rogo, appraising the town, begins to feel uneasy, but as you pass into the town limits, you find nothing to be afraid of. The town looks like a standard affair, cottages, several fields, town hall, small square, well, church, graveyard adjacent.
2:39 PM - The GM: And several people, walking around or just relaxing in the sun.
2:40 PM - The GM: Monica finds nothing of any real interest. The town looks rather poor, or at least, not rich.
2:40 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Tell me your secrets, town."
2:40 PM - The GM: The group begins to peel off and people begin to wander away.
2:40 PM - Monica Dolan heads to the well to fill her flask
2:41 PM - The GM: The mayor runs out to meet you.
2:41 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio greet Mayor.
2:41 PM - The GM: Monica fills her flask.
2:41 PM - The GM: "Are you another group of refugees? We've heard stories from the other groups that passed through here!
2:42 PM - The GM: It sounds /awful/! We've even heard talk of..." he draws you closer to him and whispers "zombies!"
2:42 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Yeah, I can take care of those for you."
2:43 PM - The GM: He draws backwards slighty. "But those are just stories, I'm sure. It sounds like very unpleasant civil unrest. You're welcome to stay with us, if you want. The tavern's right over there." He points to a rather innoculous building near the church.
2:44 PM - The GM: Aqizzar bolts towards the tavern in a flat run.
2:44 PM - Francis Butler: Innoculous?
2:44 PM - Francis Butler: They vaccinate you against alcohol.
2:45 PM - Monica Dolan follows the fat man, hoping to hire one of his assistants to help her with her disability
Rogo 'Burger' Delio disconnected.
2:46 PM - The GM: Rogo follows Aqizzar.
2:46 PM - The GM: Inside the tavern, Aqizzar orders some ale.
2:47 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché follows them in just because
Rogo 'Burger' Delio entered chat.
2:47 PM - Francis Butler heads in.
2:47 PM - The GM: Aqizzar starts to scull the ale.
2:47 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "So, where do we go from here?"
2:48 PM - The GM: "We get drunk and things will be clearer."
2:48 PM - Monica Dolan tries to find a maid at the inn to preform basic hygene on herself, as she cannot do it herself
2:50 PM - The GM: The only serving maid working in the nearly empty tavern is freaked out by your proposal
2:50 PM - Monica Dolan: "Look, I'll pay you. I just need somebody to wash me and brush my hair is all."
2:51 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "I will clean you for FREE dear miss."
2:52 PM - The GM: Rogo runs outside, grabs a bucket of water from the well and comes charing back in, aimed at Monica.
2:53 PM - The GM: Monica clotheslines Rogo, knocking him over and sending water all over the floor.
2:54 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "GOD DAMMIT WOMEN"
2:54 PM - Francis Butler runs up and tackles Monica. "Quick, Rogo! Bathe her!"
2:54 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: roll to ckean
2:55 PM - The GM: Francis manages to tackle Monica to the ground. The innkeeper watches paralyzed with something between horror and amusement.
2:56 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché kicks Francis off of her
2:56 PM - The GM: Rogo does what he can to clean Monica but really now, there's got to be a better way to do this
2:56 PM - The GM: The innkeeper shakes himself back to his senses and barks "all right, enough!" and jumps over the table.
2:57 PM - The GM: The bar.
2:57 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "QUITE OLD MAN WE ARE CLEANING
2:57 PM - The GM: The barkeep pulls Rogo off Monica and helps her to her feet.
2:58 PM - The GM: He points at Rogo and Francis. "You. Out. We've had enough problems with the fucking goblins, I don't need two do-gooders assaulting women with baths in my tavern."
2:58 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio arm wrestle innkeeper for cleaning women.
2:59 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "You think you can keep her for yourself.
2:59 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "I challenge you."
2:59 PM - The GM: Monica throws a punch at Rogo as he attempts to con the barman into armwrestling with him but he dodges out of the way.
3:00 PM - Monica Dolan: "Just sit down you asshole before you cause more problems."
3:00 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: bad temper roll
3:01 PM - The GM: Ferdinand punches Rogo in the back of the head for being really weird. He doesn't notice it and the punch connects, causing 2 damage.
3:01 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "FUCKK."
3:01 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "SINCE WHEN DOES HELPING A WOMEN GET AN HONEST MAN BEAT FUCK UP SHIT."
3:02 PM - Monica Dolan: "Alright, fine, whatever. I'll get a room or something."
Francis Butler has changed their name to Bertram Williams.
3:02 PM - Ferdinand Guiboché: "You have a rather twisted sense of what constitues as aid, knave."
3:02 PM - Bertram Williams: "Inkeep, I require a room for the night!"
3:02 PM - Bertram Williams: "Goodness, does tomfoolery like this happen every day in your inn?"
3:02 PM - The GM: Bertram William's disguise completely fools the Barkeep.
3:03 PM - The GM: "Hold on a second, friend, dealing with some problem customers."
3:03 PM - Bertram Williams: "Very well"
3:03 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio laughes to himself.
3:03 PM - The GM: Aqizzar is, at this point, staring into his mug forlorenly.
3:03 PM - Bertram Williams motions to Ferdinand and whispers "Hey, can you hand me some of my share of the gold?"
3:03 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Aqizzar is pretty quiet when he drinsk isnt he?"
3:04 PM - The GM: The bartender glares at Rogo. "Are you going to be less of an asshole now? Or do I need to throw you out?"
3:04 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "I mean, whatever his name is
3:05 PM - The GM: Ferdinand dives into the sack Aqizzar's carrying and hands Francis several gold coins, with the stipulation that he must not bathe any more women.

3:07 PM - Bertram Williams purchases a room away from the ruffians.
3:08 PM - The GM: Monica hands over 7 gold for the one night. The barkeeper nods at her.
3:08 PM - The GM: Bertram does likewise.
3:08 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "Say, the roof is free to stay on right?"
3:08 PM - The GM: The barkeeper heads back behind the bar.
3:09 PM - The GM: He looks back at Rogo and says '7 gold if you promise not to pull any more bullshit.'
3:10 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: "That means you give me 7 gold right?"
3:11 PM - The GM: The man just glares.
3:11 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio backs out into the street.
3:11 PM - Rogo 'Burger' Delio: roll to clibm roof
3:12 PM - The GM: Rogo climbs the building like a monkey and quickly reaches the top whilst simultaniously looking damn cool doing it.

3:15 PM - The GM: "The food kind? We got bread, some cheese... goblin... uh, mutton... that's really about it, actually."

3:19 PM - The GM: He motions to his men and then heads to his room.
