I AM HERE HAHAHAH!

[scriver]

Well, I'm not. My brother is going to sleep in the room the computer's in (he's got a friend staying in his own), so i won't be able to get on it tonight - it's 23.30 to 2.30 here. I'm a thousand times sorry. This sucks serious goat - in fact, the national suckageometers show unpreceded amounts of suckitude all over Europe. I wish I could be with you. Another reason to get myself a computer of my own again.

(05:17:44 PM) Wymar: Blub
(05:18:01 PM) Wymar: There I spend minutes looking through the second page of the RP forum
(05:18:07 PM) Wymar: for the thread
(05:18:18 PM) Wymar: and then there it is
(05:18:25 PM) Wymar: in the first page <_<
(05:24:17 PM) GlyphGryph: Heheh
(05:38:00 PM) GlyphGryph: Okay, and... go!
(05:38:25 PM) GlyphGryph: Darvi and Boggo and Neris are preparing to leave for their trip
(05:38:33 PM) GlyphGryph: Is there anything equipment-wise you want to bring with you?
(05:38:43 PM) NewsMuffin: I was not informed of this trip.
(05:38:52 PM) NewsMuffin: Or maybe I was and forgot.
(05:39:13 PM) NewsMuffin is now known as Neris
(05:39:50 PM) Wymar is now known as Darvi
(05:42:33 PM) Adam is now known as Kaleb
(05:44:29 PM) GlyphGryph: Neris most certainly was
(05:44:41 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas is leading a scientific expedition, remember?
(05:45:25 PM) Darvi: "Scientific"
(05:45:43 PM) Darvi: Heh, maybe I should've put the point in shooting
(05:45:45 PM) Neris: OH
(05:45:47 PM) Neris: YEAH
(05:45:49 PM) Neris: IM DUMB
(05:46:02 PM) Neris: I remember now.
(05:49:07 PM) GlyphGryph: So, anyone want to bring anything, or will you be happy with whatever Phineas is bringing?
(05:49:24 PM) Darvi: Me trusty shotgun
(05:49:28 PM) Darvi: I mean corssbow
(05:50:46 PM) Neris: I'll bring all of my gear. Obviously.
(05:51:26 PM) Neris: I'll also bring some hired muscle from my father to protect me.
(05:52:43 PM) GlyphGryph: Boggo IS your hired muscle
(05:52:59 PM) GlyphGryph: Your father has none to spare considering your families current financial straights
(05:53:10 PM) GlyphGryph: Else they wouldn't have had your cousin escort you before
(05:54:43 PM) GlyphGryph: Okay, everyone give a brief description of themselves before we head out for the benefit of the new player, who will be introduced shortly
(05:54:50 PM) GlyphGryph: And I will load up SnakeEyes
(05:54:58 PM) MrSnakeEyes [~MrSnakeEy@NewNet-81FE5C7F.hsd1.nh.comcast.net] entered the room.
(05:55:15 PM) GlyphGryph: Ah, Mr SnakeEyes
(05:55:24 PM) GlyphGryph: Kindly roll 10d6
(05:55:27 PM) Neris: I'm your run of the mill whore who murders people and is also a noble.
(05:55:39 PM) GlyphGryph: roll 10d6
(05:55:47 PM) Neris: 10d6
(05:55:47 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Neris, 10d6: 31 [10d6=2,4,2,6,3,5,1,5,1,2]
(05:55:52 PM) GlyphGryph: Thank you
(05:55:52 PM) Neris:
(05:56:00 PM) GlyphGryph: 10d6 BUT BETTER
(05:56:01 PM) Neris: Yep.
(05:56:02 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, BUT BETTER: 35 [10d6=2,2,6,1,3,5,2,4,5,5]
(05:56:12 PM) Neris: Only by just.
(05:56:29 PM) Darvi: 10d6 but even betterč
(05:56:30 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Darvi, but even betterč: 43 [10d6=2,4,6,4,4,3,6,5,4,5]
(05:56:34 PM) Darvi: Heheh
(05:56:40 PM) Neris: WHY DO YOU GUYS HATE ME
(05:56:41 PM) Darvi: I'm awesome when I have a headache
(05:56:47 PM) Darvi: It's not you
(05:56:49 PM) Darvi: It's me
(05:56:53 PM) Neris: Ok.
(05:56:54 PM) Darvi: I hate all the people
(05:57:13 PM) Neris: As long as we're clear that you're the one to blame for all of my problems.
(05:57:14 PM) Kaleb: roll 10d6
(05:57:26 PM) Kaleb: 10d6
(05:57:26 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 10d6: 26 [10d6=1,1,6,4,2,4,2,1,4,1]
(05:57:32 PM) Darvi: I'm the source of all problems
(05:57:32 PM) Neris: YES
(05:57:37 PM) Neris: Ture.
(05:57:40 PM) Kaleb: 10d6 and make it like 60 or something
(05:57:40 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, and make it like 60 or something: 29 [10d6=1,3,1,6,4,2,4,4,3,1]
(05:58:14 PM) Darvi: hurhurhur
(05:58:19 PM) Kaleb: That was nothing like 60.
(05:58:29 PM) Neris: At all.
(06:03:15 PM) Darvi left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(06:04:09 PM) GlyphGryph: Anyways, focusing
(06:04:13 PM) GlyphGryph: And ignoring the fact Darvi just left
(06:04:29 PM) Neris: Yes.
(06:06:06 PM) GlyphGryph: You all set out on the road, Phineas using the opportunity to talk with you all about various things. He introduces his partner Kaleb to the party, the one you've been investigating, mentioning that in his absence Kaleb will be in charge, and his trusted Neris below that.
(06:06:33 PM) GlyphGryph: There's a rather interesting assortment of items on the three large wagons leaving on the trip
(06:08:16 PM) GlyphGryph: And the group in total numbers nearly 20 ... Phineas, Kaleb, Neris, Darvi, Boggotarouch the warrior beetle, the cook, two of Phineas's less important research assistants, around six guards/hunters
(06:08:53 PM) GlyphGryph: A medic, and Tomonoratchi, the party's "mage".
(06:09:07 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas says he's got some great impressive powers, but leaves them quite vague
(06:09:30 PM) GlyphGryph: There's also two men to take care of the horses and drive the wagons
(06:10:09 PM) GlyphGryph: The group heads out the gate, traveling west
(06:10:42 PM) Neris: I strike up a conversation with Phin regarding the powers of his 'mage.
(06:10:43 PM) Neris: '
(06:10:45 PM) GlyphGryph: The plan is to head to the port town of Nilga, where a chartered boat is waiting - should be only a couple days for that.
(06:11:01 PM) GlyphGryph: Then take a boat south about a week to where the creature was spotted
(06:13:34 PM) GlyphGryph: On your way out, however, you hear a loud yelling, and a pudgy man in heavy robes comes running up to the caravan
(06:14:40 PM) GlyphGryph: (hold up a sec, computer has frozen)
(06:20:59 PM) GlyphGryph: Okay, roll 1d6 for conversation
(06:21:07 PM) GlyphGryph: (I'm good now)
(06:21:20 PM) Neris: 1d6 for conversation
(06:21:20 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Neris, for conversation: 2 [1d6=2]
(06:21:26 PM) Neris: D:
(06:22:19 PM) GlyphGryph: He says "He can do MAGIC!" and leaves it at that.
(06:22:45 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb turns toward the man and speaks in a calm voice. "Please refrain from screaming at the top of your lungs. I was attempting to read."
(06:22:45 PM) Neris: I'll act really excited.
(06:22:48 PM) GlyphGryph: The robed man finally catches up to the caravan, despite everyone ignoring him
(06:22:59 PM) GlyphGryph: "Sir, you don't understand!"
(06:23:00 PM) Kaleb: (Hah! Totally sniped your ignoring him)
(06:23:06 PM) Neris: "MAGIC YAY"
(06:23:17 PM) GlyphGryph: "I have a writ from the Governer, this expedition CANNOT PROCEED!"
(06:23:36 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas turns slowly, raises where his eyebrows were before burning them off in an accident the day before
(06:23:38 PM) Neris: "Please get out, we are talking about MAGIC"
(06:23:46 PM) Kaleb: "Let me see that." Kaleb holds out a hand.
(06:24:05 PM) GlyphGryph: The man hands the piece of paper over
(06:24:16 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb examines said paper.
(06:24:39 PM) GlyphGryph: "I am Praetor Tomo, and I come here to beg you to stop this man. You do not know what you are getting yourselves involved in!
(06:24:42 PM) GlyphGryph: "
(06:25:12 PM) Neris: "Excuse me, but we're nobles. We do what we want."
(06:25:33 PM) GlyphGryph: The writ appears genuine, but is vague. It simply authorizes the Imperial Church to attempt to keep the trip from leaving.
(06:26:06 PM) Kaleb: "This writ isn't for us." He handed back the paper to Tomo.
(06:26:11 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas seems intent on ignoring the man, though theres a curl of a smile on his face as he fiddles with something.
(06:26:46 PM) Kaleb: "It gives the authority to attempt to stop us. It doesn't even make it a requirement to do so. On top of that, nowhere does it tell us to stop, or even not to resist."
(06:26:47 PM) GlyphGryph: "You don't understand! He's a madman! He seeks forbiddin knowledge, and his relentless pursuit is dangerous! Phinease, how many have you killed in the city alone with your foolishness!?"
(06:27:27 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas's grin widens, and suddenly a large crack fills the air
(06:27:31 PM) Kaleb: "If he's the madman, why are you raving and flailing your arms?"
(06:27:54 PM) GlyphGryph: The Praetor, terrified, drops to the ground and cries out - most of the others are familiar with the crack, but still jump
(06:28:05 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas blows some smoke from the end of the tube.
(06:28:37 PM) GlyphGryph: "Get out of here, churchman, this expedition is, as Neris said, for nobles and those with an ounce of curiosity and self respect."
(06:29:13 PM) GlyphGryph: "Not for those too busy kissing the behinds of old men in robes to take a look out the window once in a while."
(06:29:30 PM) Kaleb: "Unless, of course, you'd rather Phineas increase that body count you were so worried about."
(06:30:02 PM) Neris: I'm completely unconcerned that he has a bodycount. I'll let him know this soon.
(06:30:06 PM) GlyphGryph: "Now now Kaleb, that almost sounded like a threat, and we don't make threats here! We are reasonable men, but as the Praetor mentioned, accidents are... common, around here."
(06:30:43 PM) Neris: (Heh, nobles... unfortunate 'accidents')
(06:30:46 PM) GlyphGryph: "Some of my tools are dangerous, so why don't you leave this to us. Think of it as a gift, praetor! You'll actually have the city free of me for several weeks!"
(06:31:22 PM) Neris: "Why would he want to be rid of such a great member of society such as you, though?"
(06:31:36 PM) Kaleb: "He's upset because Phineas has been getting all the ladies."
(06:32:20 PM) Neris: I grin widely. "That's true."
(06:32:34 PM) GlyphGryph: Phinaes chuckles a bit. "Anyways, Neris, you were asking me about..." he immediately seems to forget the Praetor even exists.
(06:32:46 PM) GlyphGryph: And picks up the conversation where they left off
(06:32:59 PM) GlyphGryph: Most of the rest of the group just ignores him as the caravan starts moving again and rolls by
(06:33:00 PM) Neris: MAGIC
(06:33:49 PM) GlyphGryph: Roll another conversation, and then we'll get to the city gates
(06:34:10 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb returns his attention back to his book, quietly listening to the others converse.
(06:35:02 PM) Neris: 1d6
(06:35:03 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Neris, 1d6: 3 [1d6=3]
(06:35:09 PM) Neris: Better.
(06:35:20 PM) GlyphGryph: Unfortunately, with no conversation skill you still get little out of him
(06:35:46 PM) Neris: I'll use my I WIN button: Seduction bonus
(06:36:15 PM) Neris: Wait, wouldn't I have at least a little skill in conversation?
(06:36:33 PM) GlyphGryph: Only certain conversations
(06:36:40 PM) GlyphGryph: :p
(06:36:55 PM) Neris: Oh.
(06:37:55 PM) Neris: Ok nevermind.
(06:39:36 PM) Kaleb: At some point in the ride, Kaleb pauses and looks up toward Neris. "So... What is it you do?"
(06:40:22 PM) Neris: "Nothing really. I'm the daughter of one of the noble houses."
(06:40:42 PM) Neris: (Daughter as in of the house leader.)
(06:40:47 PM) Kaleb: "I suppose nobles do a lot of nothing?"
(06:40:55 PM) Neris: "Indeed."
(06:41:10 PM) Kaleb: "I don't believe you're supposed to admit to that, dear."
(06:41:37 PM) Neris: "As I said earlier, I'm a noble. I do what I want"
(06:42:06 PM) Kaleb: "Have you experience hunting beasts before?"
(06:42:50 PM) Neris: "Well, I've been on hunting trips before, but I haven't actually hunted much other than the hearts of others."
(06:44:03 PM) Kaleb: "Well, hearts /are/ delightfully juicy, though cracking the ribs open can be a pain."
(06:44:23 PM) Neris: "Hah, yeah."
(06:44:40 PM) GlyphGryph: (things are not working well again. I might have to close out all these my little pony / fallout crossover fanfics to get some extra memory :<)
(06:44:55 PM) Kaleb: ((...Link?))
(06:45:08 PM) Neris: (Oh my god what.)
(06:45:58 PM) Kaleb: "So what does your nothing entail? Do you read?"
(06:47:19 PM) Neris: "I do. I haven't found much time to spend in my library lately, but I used to practically live there."
(06:47:28 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas actually talks for a moment "Actually, I only just remembered you two have not interacted much at this point! Neris, I've told you about how Kaleb got a job as my servant and quickly catapulted himself to his current expedition partner status, right, with his keen mine and insatiable interest in science?"
(06:48:18 PM) GlyphGryph: "Well, sorry to interrupt, but I actually need to go deal with the guards since we're stopped again."
(06:48:29 PM) GlyphGryph: He hops off and heads to the gates you guys are stopped at.
(06:48:32 PM) Kaleb: "It's SCIENCE! not science. If you don't declare it, it's not half as fun."
(06:48:32 PM) Neris: "You... well, ok."
(06:48:56 PM) GlyphGryph: Sorry, I was going to capitilize it too but argh stupid computer
(06:49:19 PM) Neris: "SCIENCE! is a lot like MAGIC. They do similar things through different methods."
(06:49:38 PM) GlyphGryph: (I can't even switch to the OOC tab now D: )
(06:49:41 PM) GlyphGryph: (ARGH)
(06:50:04 PM) Neris: (D: )
(06:50:28 PM) Kaleb: "Magic is just another science. It follows rules, it can be made consistent... There's just still a lot left to discover."
(06:50:59 PM) GlyphGryph:  Meanwhile, the gates swing open and the caravan begins moving again.
(06:51:09 PM) Neris: "True. I used to study science and a little magic, but like I said I haven't found much time to anymore"
(06:52:01 PM) Kaleb: "And what has been eating up all your time?"
(06:53:02 PM) Neris: I smile like I know more than I am letting on. "Oh, this and that. Things in the city haven't been exactly calm recently."
(06:53:41 PM) GlyphGryph: Background:
(06:53:46 PM) GlyphGryph: Governor was assassinated
(06:53:50 PM) GlyphGryph: Giant Monster Worms attacked
(06:54:02 PM) GlyphGryph: Heroic party went out to slay an evil sorcerer who was causing the problems
(06:54:05 PM) GlyphGryph: New governor installed
(06:54:14 PM) GlyphGryph: Assassin never discovered
(06:54:28 PM) GlyphGryph: Mysterious "creatures" prowl the streets at night killing/kidnapping victims
(06:55:39 PM) GlyphGryph: Anyways, we can fast forward a bit if you two are up for it, or you can ask more questions of those in the party
(06:55:48 PM) GlyphGryph: Socialize a bit and make contacts and whatnot.
(06:56:11 PM) Neris: I'll talk with the mage about his powers.
(06:56:16 PM) Kaleb: "THat's what libraries are for. Things are always calm there... Unless you find the right books. I recently read one about a plant-woman attempting to punish those who cut down trees. Quit enthralling. It didn't end well for her."
(06:56:28 PM) Kaleb: (I'm okay with fastforwarding)
(06:56:54 PM) Neris: (CAPTAIN PLANET)
(06:57:26 PM) Neris: (I'm ok with it after talking with the mage.)
(06:57:44 PM) Kaleb: (That was not a Planet reference at all.)
(06:58:07 PM) Neris: (But I turned it into one by shouting captain planet.)
(06:59:48 PM) GlyphGryph: You approach the mage and try to discuss his powers
(06:59:54 PM) GlyphGryph: What sort of approach do you use?
(07:00:17 PM) Neris: Well, 'm ok with walking, but jumping works too.
(07:01:11 PM) Neris: Well, I'll ask him about what he can do about dead people.
(07:01:51 PM) Kaleb: (Gryph's rebooting and will be right back)

[NewsMuffin]

Oh, you actually did catch my joke. I have nothing to post, because Jack and I just talked about how you were rebooting.

(07:05:22 PM) Kaleb: (Welcome back)
(07:05:40 PM) Neris: (hey)
(07:09:16 PM) GlyphGryph: Okay, so, approach
(07:09:27 PM) GlyphGryph: You're going to try to pump him for information, but how?
(07:10:01 PM) Neris: Well, I was planning to just ask him about what he can do involving dead people.
(07:11:38 PM) GlyphGryph: Ah, okay
(07:11:50 PM) GlyphGryph: Roll a conversation, minus 1 for such a strange opener ;P
(07:12:12 PM) Neris: 1d6-1
(07:12:18 PM) Neris: HEY
(07:12:21 PM) Neris: SNAKE EYES
(07:14:17 PM) GlyphGryph: Oops
(07:14:42 PM) MrSnakeEyes [~MrSnakeEy@NewNet-81FE5C7F.hsd1.nh.comcast.net] entered the room.
(07:14:46 PM) GlyphGryph: Let there be bones
(07:14:58 PM) GlyphGryph: Anyways
(07:15:01 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6-1
(07:15:02 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, 1d6-1: 1 [1d6=2]
(07:15:05 PM) Neris: 1d6-1
(07:15:06 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Neris, 1d6-1: 2 [1d6=3]
(07:15:09 PM) GlyphGryph:
(07:15:11 PM) Neris: I like mine better.
(07:15:30 PM) GlyphGryph: He seems a bit taken aback by the question and says he can't do anything like that.
(07:15:57 PM) GlyphGryph: He doesn't deal with dead people, no, no at all, that would just be wrong
(07:16:03 PM) Neris: I frown and stare at him because IM ADORABLE.
(07:16:25 PM) Neris: Wait, don't I get +1 to conversations because of ADORABLE
(07:16:48 PM) GlyphGryph: I'd like to introduce a mechanic here called "doubting", which isn't even specifically a mechanic, but if you point out you want to doubt something (like pointing out you want to look at somthing) you get a skill check to compare to
(07:16:54 PM) GlyphGryph: A hidden one, though
(07:17:00 PM) GlyphGryph: So let me know if you want to!
(07:17:24 PM) Neris: I'm doubting him. +ADORABLE?
(07:17:35 PM) GlyphGryph: (you also get a +2 bonus to notice/doubt checks when specifically pointed out, so lets see...)
(07:18:00 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb reaches over and bonks Neris, lightly, with the shaft of his spear. "You don't ask people that sort of thing."
(07:18:01 PM) GlyphGryph: Despite the odd way he's phrasing it, you believe him
(07:18:19 PM) GlyphGryph: He just seems nervous you've even approach someone with that sort of question
(07:18:49 PM) Neris: I'll explain to him that one of my friends brother died and he's really depressed about it.
(07:20:00 PM) GlyphGryph: Now THAT will get you a plus 1
(07:20:04 PM) GlyphGryph: Roll conversation
(07:20:18 PM) Neris: 1d6+1
(07:20:18 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Neris, 1d6+1: 4 [1d6=3]
(07:20:37 PM) GlyphGryph: No, he really doesn't know anything about dead people magic, well not anything like that anyways.
(07:20:38 PM) Neris: Yay
(07:20:59 PM) GlyphGryph: He knows some astral magic that can kind of help someone that is currently dying but not already dead
(07:21:04 PM) GlyphGryph: But thats the closest he comes
(07:21:20 PM) Neris: Aww. "Well I guess I'll leave you alone for now, then."
(07:22:28 PM) GlyphGryph: Okay, and now FAST FORWARD
(07:22:38 PM) GlyphGryph: Who wants to make the luck roll to see if you get the port unbothered!
(07:22:45 PM) Kaleb: [1d6]
(07:22:48 PM) Kaleb: 1d6
(07:22:49 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 1d6: 5 [1d6=5]
(07:22:56 PM) Neris: Awww yeah
(07:23:10 PM) Kaleb: We get to port bothered... By cupcake vendors!
(07:23:24 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6
(07:23:26 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, 1d6: 6 [1d6=6]
(07:23:31 PM) GlyphGryph: ...interesting...
(07:23:35 PM) Kaleb: 1d6
(07:23:36 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 1d6: 6 [1d6=6]
(07:23:50 PM) Neris: B-but... but...
(07:24:04 PM) Neris: WHY MR SNAKEEYES! WHY!
(07:24:28 PM) Kaleb: (Snakeyes loves me)
(07:24:50 PM) Neris: (He used to be my best bud. But no more.)
(07:25:29 PM) GlyphGryph: Not far from town
(07:25:45 PM) GlyphGryph: The carvan stops as a merchant waves them down
(07:26:10 PM) GlyphGryph: "Ho there, friends, are you heading to the port?"
(07:26:36 PM) Kaleb: "Yes. Yes we are."
(07:26:58 PM) GlyphGryph: He shakes his head a little bit.
(07:27:35 PM) GlyphGryph: "It's terrible, just terrible what happened there the other day. I hope you're not expecting to get a boat now, because you'll be sorely surprised."
(07:27:50 PM) Kaleb: "What happened the other day this time?"
(07:28:07 PM) GlyphGryph: "i've actually packed up most of my wares and am heading out myself, nothing more for me here now."
(07:28:30 PM) GlyphGryph: "A huge creature, horrible, an abomination, attacked the city from the ocean."
(07:28:32 PM) Neris: "We'll believe that when we see the port, good sir."
(07:28:36 PM) GlyphGryph: "Wrecked many of the ships."
(07:28:52 PM) Neris: "We'll believe that when we see the port, good sir." goes after what he just said
(07:28:59 PM) GlyphGryph: "My own survived unscathed, thankfully, but there's no way I'm going out on the water now."
(07:29:11 PM) GlyphGryph: "Those ships braving it since the attack haven't returned."
(07:29:36 PM) Neris: "Maybe they were going on a long journey?"
(07:29:45 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas has pushed his way out of the wagon in back, the one with his bead where he sleeps and writes during the trip
(07:30:07 PM) GlyphGryph: 'Most of them were fishing vessels, and were only going out for the day."
(07:30:19 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas: "What's going on here, why have we stopped?"
(07:30:19 PM) Neris: "Sure."
(07:30:28 PM) Kaleb: "Sea monster, sir."
(07:30:41 PM) Neris: "Or so this good man says."
(07:30:42 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas eyes light up. "Really?"
(07:30:53 PM) GlyphGryph: He asks the man to describe it.
(07:31:16 PM) GlyphGryph: The man describes something huge and slimy and with way too many eyes.
(07:31:20 PM) GlyphGryph: An extra mouth
(07:31:28 PM) Neris: Smile. "I love it when he gets that face."
(07:31:32 PM) Neris: *look on his
(07:31:44 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas seems almost joyful.
(07:31:52 PM) GlyphGryph: "I've never even HEARD of such a creature before!"
(07:32:02 PM) GlyphGryph: "Do you think we'll have a chance of bringing it in?"
(07:32:03 PM) Kaleb: "This, of course, means we have to kill it."
(07:32:20 PM) GlyphGryph: The merchant seems quite taken aback
(07:32:26 PM) Neris: "Isn't this wonderful?"
(07:32:28 PM) GlyphGryph: "Are you all madmen, then?"
(07:32:36 PM) Neris: "Most likely, yes."
(07:32:37 PM) Kaleb: "No. This one's female." Gesture to Neris.
(07:33:15 PM) Kaleb: "I just like sea food very much. And it's hard enough to get good Lobster out here."
(07:33:37 PM) GlyphGryph: "Well, if you're so insistent on this madness, you'll need a ship, and as I said most were damaged in the attack."
(07:33:39 PM) Neris: "Indeed."
(07:33:52 PM) Neris: "We... could use yours."
(07:33:58 PM) GlyphGryph: "I've got no use for it, so if you wish I could sell you the deed, yes."
(07:34:09 PM) GlyphGryph: "Thankfully I'm not emotionally attached to it."
(07:34:21 PM) Neris: (lol obvious npc's)
(07:34:29 PM) Neris: "That's good."
(07:35:14 PM) GlyphGryph: The man offers a price, many thousands of gold.
(07:35:20 PM) Kaleb: "Oh, we'd love to purchase a ship... Of course, we'd have to see it. Would you like to accompanny us back to it?"
(07:35:23 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas, of course, asks for details on the ship.
(07:35:39 PM) Kaleb: "Can't buy a ship without a full inspection."
(07:35:45 PM) GlyphGryph: "Ah, no, I really must be on my way to the next town. But I have the deed, you can simply show it to the dockmaster."
(07:35:52 PM) GlyphGryph: "And he'll let you take it out."
(07:36:02 PM) Kaleb: Disbelieve
(07:36:05 PM) Kaleb: 1d6
(07:36:06 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 1d6: 4 [1d6=4]
(07:36:07 PM) Neris: ("THATS BULLSHIT")
(07:36:11 PM) GlyphGryph: "It's not super large, just a small merchant trawler, but the best you'll get, really."
(07:36:32 PM) GlyphGryph: Something is definitely off about what the man is saying.
(07:36:41 PM) Kaleb: Is this guy alone, or are there others with him?
(07:36:44 PM) GlyphGryph: You suspect he is not being completely honest, though exactly how...
(07:36:53 PM) Neris: I tell the hunter/guards to seize the merchant.
(07:36:54 PM) GlyphGryph: He's along, with a wagon pulled by two donkeys
(07:37:10 PM) Neris: "Take us there."
(07:37:48 PM) Kaleb: "Neris, dear, no need to be so forceful..." Kaleb hops down from his seat to the ground by the merchant.
(07:38:08 PM) Neris: "Oh, but it's so much fun!"
(07:38:10 PM) GlyphGryph: The guards sort of mill around, clearly waiting for an order from Phineas
(07:38:33 PM) GlyphGryph: Boggo, meanwhile, runs up and tries to seize the merchant with his powers!
(07:38:35 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6
(07:38:36 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, 1d6: 5 [1d6=5]
(07:38:49 PM) GlyphGryph: He succeeds, and the merchant is lifted nearly a foot off the ground!
(07:39:05 PM) Neris: "That you, my good sir."
(07:39:06 PM) GlyphGryph: He flails a little bit and can't go anywhere, and seems very confused
(07:39:08 PM) Neris: *thank
(07:39:12 PM) GlyphGryph: Boggo seems to be struggling a bit though
(07:40:07 PM) GlyphGryph: Kaleb, what are you doing
(07:40:07 PM) GlyphGryph: ?
(07:40:39 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb sighs and looks to Neris. She's taken control here and is telling Boggo what to do. He leans on his staff, waiting.
(07:40:44 PM) Neris: He's being ungentlemanly. As in he isn't having people do the dirty work for him.
(07:40:50 PM) Kaleb: Err, on his spear. Well not ON, but into.
(07:40:52 PM) Kaleb: Words.
(07:41:13 PM) GlyphGryph: Heh
(07:41:17 PM) Neris: Leans 'on' still works.
(07:41:24 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas waits as well, then shrugs
(07:41:41 PM) GlyphGryph: "Yes, come, accompany us back to town. If the boat is fine, you'll get your asking price and more."
(07:41:53 PM) GlyphGryph: "don't worry, we'll make it worth your while."
(07:42:05 PM) Neris: "But if you're lying to us..."
(07:43:18 PM) Kaleb: "...Perhaps I should talk to him... Alone if nobody minds?" Kaleb looks around for some privacy, then looks to merchant. He softly says ('My friends are a bit nuts.')
(07:43:37 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas shrugs.
(07:43:49 PM) GlyphGryph: "Whatever you feel would work best Kaleb, I know you know how to get results."
(07:43:54 PM) GlyphGryph: Boggo puts the merchant down.
(07:44:27 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb gestures somewhere out of sight. "Shall we? One on one, taking business?"
(07:44:57 PM) Kaleb: *Talking
(07:45:48 PM) GlyphGryph: The two of you go behind the merchants wagon
(07:45:51 PM) GlyphGryph: He seems shaken.
(07:46:58 PM) Kaleb: No, no, I want somewhere more private. What's nearby? I'm going to tell him that the farther away from the giant bug, the easier it'll be to do business. Because it has "ears like a hawk. And a bat. Ears like a hawkbat."
(07:47:41 PM) Neris: It's really because you want to have gay sex with him. We all know, it's ok.
(07:47:44 PM) GlyphGryph: Roll a d6
(07:47:53 PM) Kaleb: Bluff, yes?
(07:47:55 PM) Kaleb: d6+5
(07:48:04 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6+5
(07:48:06 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, 1d6+5: 7 [1d6=2]
(07:48:09 PM) Kaleb: 1d6+5
(07:48:10 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 1d6+5: 11 [1d6=6]
(07:48:26 PM) GlyphGryph: The man is absolutely terrified of hawkbats, and quickly dissapears into the woods with you
(07:51:49 PM) Kaleb: 1d6
(07:51:50 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 1d6: 6 [1d6=6]
(07:51:54 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6
(07:51:55 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, 1d6: 5 [1d6=5]
(07:52:21 PM) Neris: I'M BEING LEFT OUT OF THINGS and I'm ok with that
(07:53:08 PM) GlyphGryph: Roll a d6, Neris
(07:53:46 PM) Neris: 1d6
(07:53:47 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Neris, 1d6: 3 [1d6=3]
(07:53:53 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6+2 Boggo
(07:53:55 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, Boggo: 6 [1d6=4]
(07:54:06 PM) Neris: Y U DO DIS SANEK EYS?
(07:54:18 PM) GlyphGryph: Boggo strains his ears.
(07:54:39 PM) GlyphGryph: "Neris... I think I heard sort of a muffled, short scream there..." he whispers to you.
(07:55:28 PM) Neris: "Oh? I didn't think the little guy had it in him."
(07:55:45 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d100
(07:55:46 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, 1d100: 64 [1d100=64]
(07:56:32 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb returns to the others. "Well, good news and bad news guys."
(07:56:53 PM) Neris: "What is it, my dear?"
(07:57:07 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas has already disappeared back into his wagon.
(07:58:13 PM) Kaleb: "The bad news is, there's bears in those woods. The good news is, bears aren't interested in boat-deeds. So there's that."
(07:58:33 PM) Neris: "Hah, right"
(07:58:54 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6+5
(07:58:56 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, 1d6+5: 11 [1d6=6]
(07:58:59 PM) Kaleb: 1d6+5
(07:59:00 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 1d6+5: 9 [1d6=4]
(07:59:04 PM) GlyphGryph: Heheheh
(07:59:17 PM) GlyphGryph: Everyone is quite convinced of the dangerous beasts that lurk in these woods
(07:59:26 PM) GlyphGryph: Why, with all the monsters around it was probably even a MUTANT bear
(07:59:29 PM) GlyphGryph: with extra eyes!
(07:59:30 PM) Neris: (But I'm not)
(07:59:31 PM) GlyphGryph: and mouths!
(07:59:57 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6 Boggo Disbelief:
(07:59:58 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, Boggo Disbelief:: 3 [1d6=3]
(08:00:00 PM) Kaleb: "Least I think it was bears... Anyway, he had the deed out to show me and then... Rar, chomp... So yeah.... I guess we've got a wagon now, too?"
(08:01:02 PM) GlyphGryph: The guards say that if the beast departed, they should probably go check on the guy. Maybe he's still alive - if not, they can at least bury the body.
(08:02:02 PM) Kaleb: "Go for it?" And Kaleb starts searching the guy's wagon.
(08:02:32 PM) GlyphGryph: The Guards dissapear into the woods
(08:02:52 PM) GlyphGryph: They return to confirm the guy was definitely eaten by some kind of wild beast, and it didn't leave much
(08:03:22 PM) GlyphGryph: One of em asks "How the heck did you get away? That guy was torn apart!"
(08:03:44 PM) Neris left the room (quit: ok.routing.hub irc.newnet.ludd.ltu.se).
(08:03:48 PM) GlyphGryph: D:
(08:03:54 PM) Kaleb: "The staff's just for show. I'm actually pretty damn fast."
(08:04:03 PM) Kaleb: "Well, for show /and/ for stabbing."
(08:04:17 PM) Neris [60ff7dea@NewNet-C23BABFC.mibbit.com] entered the room.
(08:04:24 PM) Kaleb: "Also? I didn't have to be faster than the bears. I just had to be faster than that guy."
(08:04:33 PM) Neris: What just happened?
(08:04:36 PM) Kaleb: "...That was inappropriate. I'm sorry. I'm just a bit shaken up."
(08:05:14 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6+5 Kaleb
(08:05:15 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, Kaleb: 9 [1d6=4]
(08:05:21 PM) GlyphGryph: The guards are sympathetic
(08:05:26 PM) Neris: Did everyone else just lose connection, or was it just me?
(08:05:29 PM) Kaleb: Just you.
(08:05:32 PM) GlyphGryph: "Obviously we need to stay close, something evil lurks in these woods"
(08:05:34 PM) Neris: Oh.
(08:05:34 PM) Neris: Ok
(08:05:37 PM) GlyphGryph: "Evil and dangerous!"
(08:05:53 PM) GlyphGryph: "Foul beasts - I'll tell the boys to be ready for anything and keep their eyes open, for sure."
(08:05:54 PM) Kaleb: Searching the wagon.
(08:06:12 PM) GlyphGryph: Its mostly a variety of trade goods with no real rhyme or reason
(08:06:17 PM) GlyphGryph: It looks packed hurriedly
(08:06:24 PM) Neris: That's how nobles work.
(08:06:26 PM) GlyphGryph: Some of it seems valuable
(08:06:44 PM) GlyphGryph: But none of it very useful
(08:06:58 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6
(08:06:59 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, 1d6: 6 [1d6=6]
(08:07:08 PM) GlyphGryph: You find a barrel of high quality jerky and a bunch of cash though!
(08:07:14 PM) Kaleb: Woot!
(08:07:21 PM) GlyphGryph: Most of the cash is hidden behind a loose board on the side of the wagon
(08:07:27 PM) GlyphGryph: You find 1d500
(08:07:33 PM) GlyphGryph: Feel free to roll!
(08:07:35 PM) Kaleb: 1d500
(08:07:36 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 1d500: 89 [1d500=89]
(08:07:43 PM) Kaleb: Yoooink.
(08:08:03 PM) Neris: But... but that's Phin's gold. You aren't really stealing it.
(08:08:15 PM) Kaleb: What? No, this was the Merchant's.
(08:08:27 PM) Neris: Oh.
(08:08:35 PM) Neris: I thought you were searching our wagon.
(08:08:39 PM) Neris: I'm dumb.
(08:08:49 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb takes some jerky and takes the reins of the new wagon.
(08:08:59 PM) GlyphGryph: The group continues on to the port?
(08:09:07 PM) Kaleb: Yes.
(08:09:13 PM) Neris: Yep.
(08:09:22 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb's got wheels!
(08:09:44 PM) Kaleb: And a boat.
(08:09:49 PM) Kaleb: Everything's looking up Kaleb!
(08:10:02 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb offers jerky to Neris and Boggo.
(08:10:16 PM) Neris: I'll take some.
(08:10:41 PM) Neris: But I'll save it for later because that's what's lady-like
(08:11:07 PM) GlyphGryph: Heh
(08:11:16 PM) GlyphGryph: The group finally arrives at Nigram
(08:11:46 PM) Neris: Is it destroyed or otherwise attacked?
(08:11:51 PM) GlyphGryph: There's a darkness over the people in the town, and the town seems muted.
(08:12:04 PM) GlyphGryph: It looks fine until you get to the port, where there is obviously some qutie extensive damage
(08:12:12 PM) GlyphGryph: A warehouse and several boats were destroyed
(08:12:17 PM) GlyphGryph: Though several others look fine
(08:12:26 PM) GlyphGryph: The warehouse appears to have mostly been destroyed by fire
(08:12:35 PM) GlyphGryph: And may be unrelated to any "attacks"
(08:12:37 PM) Neris: That liar. Good thing Kaleb killed him.
(08:12:49 PM) Kaleb: I am going to ask people about this monster and try to find the boat that this deed belongs to.
(08:12:57 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb didn't kill him! Beasts did!
(08:12:58 PM) GlyphGryph: Many boats have been completely pulled out of the water, though
(08:13:15 PM) Neris: They should be fine.
(08:13:19 PM) GlyphGryph: Yeah, Neris, remember that first one I rolled for "encounter roll"?
(08:13:26 PM) Neris: Yeah.
(08:13:31 PM) GlyphGryph: |||||| (07:50:24 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, 1d6: 1 [1d6=1] ||||||
(08:13:48 PM) GlyphGryph: That totally brought out the beasts
(08:13:51 PM) GlyphGryph: Anyways!
(08:13:57 PM) Neris: Ok, sure.
(08:14:03 PM) GlyphGryph: Just asking random people at the docks?
(08:14:48 PM) Kaleb: Asking random people about the attacks, yes.
(08:14:54 PM) Kaleb: Asking someone who seems like a dockmaster about the boat.
(08:15:05 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6 random conversation
(08:15:06 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, random conversation: 1 [1d6=1]
(08:15:08 PM) Kaleb: 1d6+1 Social roll
(08:15:09 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, Social roll: 2 [1d6=1]
(08:15:15 PM) Neris: What.
(08:15:16 PM) Kaleb: I think I'm getting mugged.
(08:15:17 PM) GlyphGryph: Haha, yours isn't any better
(08:15:27 PM) GlyphGryph: You head off to ask some random people about the attack
(08:15:41 PM) GlyphGryph: Unfortunately, no one seems to be nearby
(08:15:52 PM) GlyphGryph: You finally spot someone leaning against a wall in an alley
(08:16:12 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6
(08:16:12 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, 1d6: 6 [1d6=6]
(08:16:19 PM) GlyphGryph: He just brushes you off though.
(08:16:29 PM) GlyphGryph: You have no better luck finding the dock foreman
(08:16:40 PM) GlyphGryph: Probably because you are near the ruined section of the docks
(08:17:22 PM) GlyphGryph: The mage Tommotorach announces he's looked over the deed, and quickly heads off to find the relavent dock that would hold the desired boat
(08:17:39 PM) Kaleb: I follow Tommo! Because I want my boat.
(08:17:46 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas, meanwhile, points out he has already chartered a really really nice boat, so he's going to go see if its alright.
(08:17:56 PM) GlyphGryph: Most of the group goes with him to unload if it is.
(08:18:21 PM) Neris: I'll go with Phin, and make sure he doesn't do anything crazy without my moral and ethical guidance.
(08:18:37 PM) GlyphGryph: Haha
(08:18:50 PM) GlyphGryph: Oh man, Darvi and Boggo are definitely the moral compass of this group.
(08:18:51 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb acknowledges that Phineas has a boat, but now they have two. Maybe. Unless this one's craaaap.
(08:18:52 PM) Neris: Yep.
(08:19:11 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6 Tommotorachs attempt to find the boat
(08:19:13 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, Tommotorachs attempt to find the boat: 6 [1d6=6]
(08:19:21 PM) Neris: They're the compass, I'm the raiser.
(08:19:30 PM) GlyphGryph: He quickly identifies the correct owner of the deed, pointing out the magical data symbol in the bottom right corner
(08:19:31 PM) Neris: Weird and long-shot puns abound.
(08:19:52 PM) GlyphGryph: And finds the appropriate dock
(08:19:59 PM) Kaleb: Correct owner?
(08:19:59 PM) GlyphGryph: The foreman, luckily, is in
(08:20:19 PM) GlyphGryph: The owner of the group that authorized the handles the boat
(08:20:27 PM) Kaleb: Ah.
(08:20:55 PM) GlyphGryph: He says that yes, his yard sold the boat, and they take care of most of the boats they sell...
(08:21:09 PM) GlyphGryph: He's a big guy, with a preposterous mustache, and quickly digs into a nearby file cabinet
(08:21:12 PM) GlyphGryph: Roll a luck roll!
(08:21:19 PM) Kaleb: 1d6
(08:21:20 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 1d6: 5 [1d6=5]
(08:21:25 PM) Neris: Add mustache bonuses.
(08:21:27 PM) GlyphGryph: He says, yes!
(08:21:53 PM) GlyphGryph: "Here it is! Since you've got the deed, the boats yours, so have at it. It's right at the end of dock 9."
(08:22:10 PM) GlyphGryph: Roll another luck roll when you get to the end of dock 9.
(08:22:23 PM) GlyphGryph: Turns out docks 3-8 were almost completely destroyed in the attack
(08:22:27 PM) GlyphGryph: Many sunk boats
(08:22:35 PM) GlyphGryph: Dock 9 seems to be fine, thankfully...
(08:22:52 PM) GlyphGryph: And you begin looking for "The Pinecone"
(08:22:55 PM) Kaleb: And Kaleb goes to dock 9 to see... Lets roll it
(08:22:58 PM) Kaleb: 1d6
(08:22:59 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 1d6: 5 [1d6=5]
(08:23:01 PM) Kaleb: Woot!
(08:23:37 PM) GlyphGryph: You find the boat - It's no grand merchant vessel, and definitely wasn't worth the price he was asking, but it is, actually and honestly, a halfway decent boat!
(08:24:05 PM) GlyphGryph: You have acquired "The Pinecone!"
(08:24:16 PM) Kaleb: Man, that ain't fitting in my Inventory.
(08:24:29 PM) Neris: Is Phin's boat still good?
(08:24:32 PM) GlyphGryph: You quickly capchtalogue it with your Wallet Modus
(08:24:38 PM) GlyphGryph: Neris, roll a luck roll for that!
(08:24:44 PM) Neris: 1d6
(08:24:45 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Neris, 1d6: 5 [1d6=5]
(08:24:57 PM) GlyphGryph: Yep, his charted boat, much larger and heavier, is perfectly fine!
(08:25:06 PM) Neris: Dem boats.
(08:25:32 PM) Kaleb: Now the important question... Do I need the backup boat, or do I sell it? ... FIRST I examine it. For loot. And for a cool hat.
(08:25:52 PM) Kaleb: Ships come equipped with awesome hats, right? You get one for being a Captain?
(08:26:21 PM) Neris: Well, it probably still has its crew.
(08:26:33 PM) Neris: So search the captain for a cool hat.
(08:26:34 PM) Kaleb: ...DOES this ship come with crew?
(08:27:19 PM) GlyphGryph: No crew, its a one person needed/three person recommended crew
(08:27:29 PM) Neris: Oh.
(08:27:33 PM) Kaleb: So right, search teh ship!
(08:27:34 PM) Kaleb: 1d6
(08:27:35 PM) GlyphGryph: It's not a huge ship, and would have struggled to fit everyone in the caravan
(08:27:35 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 1d6: 4 [1d6=4]
(08:28:07 PM) GlyphGryph: Unfortunately, the ship was mostly stripped of goods before the man departed
(08:28:19 PM) GlyphGryph: You do find a box full of bottles full of wine though
(08:29:24 PM) Kaleb: Alright, so here's the plan... We'll take both boats out, and this way if one gets attacked the important people can scramble to the other. ALternatively, we use it to flank the sea-monster or something.
(08:29:33 PM) Kaleb: But I don't know how to pilot a boat.
(08:29:44 PM) GlyphGryph: Actually, no one in the group does.
(08:29:53 PM) GlyphGryph: Except Phineas
(08:30:04 PM) GlyphGryph: And he doesn't enjoy it and isn't terribly good at it
(08:30:16 PM) GlyphGryph: Which is why he chartered a boat, with crew, instead of buying one
(08:30:17 PM) Kaleb: But his boat came with crew, right?
(08:30:20 PM) GlyphGryph: Speaking of which...
(08:30:28 PM) GlyphGryph: "What do you mean the crew won't come out?"
(08:30:30 PM) Kaleb: ...How much would it take to rent crew for my boat?
(08:30:43 PM) Neris: Tie the smaller boat to the larger boat.
(08:30:43 PM) Kaleb: Oh noes, the crew's scared of seamonsters.
(08:30:55 PM) Kaleb: Right. We'll use it as a giant dingy!
(08:31:09 PM) GlyphGryph: "Sorry, Sir, nothing can be done - every ship that's gone out has dissapeared. The crew are scared. Some of the braver ones might go out, but they're asking a lot more than standard price."
(08:31:55 PM) Neris: We should break in an kill them if they don't take us out to kill the seamonster.
(08:32:15 PM) GlyphGryph: "So considering the risks involved, and the increased costs, I'm gonna have to have three times more than what you've given me to make it worth my while."
(08:32:28 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas seems enraged
(08:32:32 PM) Kaleb: What's the initial cost?
(08:32:35 PM) GlyphGryph: "Thats preposterous!"
(08:32:49 PM) GlyphGryph: The original charter price was 1000 gold a day for a week.
(08:33:06 PM) Neris: Is a knife pressed against his throat as good as 2000 gold a day?
(08:33:07 PM) GlyphGryph: Large ship, crew of 9
(08:33:08 PM) Kaleb: And Phineas already paid?
(08:33:16 PM) GlyphGryph: Yeah, already paid
(08:33:21 PM) Kaleb: Then I can handle this.
(08:33:34 PM) Kaleb: "Well, of course... we could just have you arrested for breach of contract."
(08:34:25 PM) Kaleb: "We've got a lot of money riding on this... And, well, you didn't exactly give us advanced notice here."
(08:34:29 PM) GlyphGryph: "I'll be more than happy to refund the money, but these are extenuating circumstances, obviously."
(08:34:46 PM) GlyphGryph: "Same as if there was a bad storm, the contract has clauses for acts of nature."
(08:35:04 PM) Neris: "Sea Monsters aren't acts of nature."
(08:35:15 PM) GlyphGryph: "How do you figure?"
(08:35:38 PM) Neris: "Because Sea Monsters aren't natural."
(08:36:10 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas interjects "Well, technically, sea monsters are really just- erm... nervermind."
(08:36:10 PM) Neris: "They're magical."
(08:36:42 PM) GlyphGryph: Captain "I don't care, the point is conditions are not safe to sail."
(08:37:18 PM) GlyphGryph: "As the captain, I get final call on that. You can have your money back if you're not interested, or you can wait in town till we're sure the 'storm' of a sea monster has passed."
(08:37:35 PM) Kaleb: "Look, here's the thing, though... You know why it's a good idea for you to send the crew with us? Because your crew being part of the group that kills the sea monster is going to be nothing but incredible for businnes... And I know, it sounds like I'm making a big boast, but you know why we need a boat? Because we've been /hired/ to /hunt monsters./ We can handle it. As long as we're there,...
(08:37:37 PM) Kaleb: ...no sea monster is going to do jack shit to your crew."
(08:37:41 PM) Neris: "That may be true, but the contract says nothing of Sea Monsters or Acts of Insane Wizards."
(08:37:41 PM) Kaleb: 1d6+5
(08:37:42 PM) MrSnakeEyes: Kaleb, 1d6+5: 11 [1d6=6]
(08:39:07 PM) GlyphGryph: "Look, that's fine, but you'll still need sailors, and I can't pay enough to staff the crew with what you're offering. Lets say we go out. At the minimum, I'd need as much as you've paid again in order to get the crew."
(08:40:32 PM) GlyphGryph: Phineas finally gets tired of the conversation.
(08:41:13 PM) GlyphGryph: "Fine, whatever, we'll give you double, in advance even, to get your damned sailors. Can we just start getting ready to go? I need to go see what weapons they have in the shops here for hunting sea monsters!"
(08:41:40 PM) GlyphGryph: He directs one of his assistants to handle the financial details, and heads off to find himself some harpoons.
(08:42:32 PM) GlyphGryph: However, thanks to Kalebs attempts, the captains morale is much higher now
(08:42:40 PM) GlyphGryph: As he thinks there's a chance of not dying from going out
(08:43:00 PM) GlyphGryph: And I think we'll actually end it here tonight. We DO have other characters that will probably want to get involved at some point.
(08:43:23 PM) Neris: That's fine with me.
(08:43:33 PM) Kaleb: Kaleb asks when Phineas wants to leave, and then heads out into town to do... things.
(08:44:05 PM) Neris: I follow Phin around being his lady-friend.
(08:44:23 PM) Neris: *lady-acquaintance
(08:44:46 PM) GlyphGryph: Heheh
(08:44:54 PM) GlyphGryph: Okay, so I guess...
(08:45:00 PM) GlyphGryph:

(08:45:02 PM) GlyphGryph: End
(08:45:11 PM) Kaleb: I got a boat! **dances*
(08:45:15 PM) GlyphGryph: Adam, you've got the most complete logs for this session I assume, right?
(08:45:20 PM) Neris: I'm on a boat!
(08:45:31 PM) Kaleb: Uhh... Was I supposed to be logging this?
(08:46:00 PM) GlyphGryph: Don't you autolog everything automatically?
(08:46:01 PM) GlyphGryph:
(08:46:08 PM) GlyphGryph: Fine, Mine are mostly complete
(08:46:11 PM) Kaleb: Not on IRC
(08:46:13 PM) GlyphGryph: Except what I missed during the reboot
(08:46:21 PM) GlyphGryph: I'll piece them together
(08:46:40 PM) GlyphGryph: And post to the thread so the others can catch up
(08:46:52 PM) GlyphGryph: Then back to pony/fallout fanfic for me!
(08:47:14 PM) Neris: You missed my joke ):
(08:47:38 PM) GlyphGryph: I know!
(08:47:42 PM) GlyphGryph: I'll post the first log now
(08:47:49 PM) GlyphGryph: Then YOU post the stuff I missed
(08:47:52 PM) GlyphGryph: then I'll post the second log
(08:47:57 PM) GlyphGryph: Its too big for one post anyways
(08:47:58 PM) GlyphGryph: ^_^^
(08:49:31 PM) Neris: Also I need to know if you actually killed that guy. I think you did.
(08:49:48 PM) GlyphGryph: Why do you need to know?
(08:49:55 PM) GlyphGryph: I almost never post sidestuff
(08:50:03 PM) Kaleb: He was killed by beasts.
(08:50:12 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6+5
(08:50:13 PM) Neris: You always post side stuff.
(08:50:13 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, 1d6+5: 6 [1d6=1]
(08:50:19 PM) GlyphGryph: 1d6+2 doubt
(08:50:21 PM) MrSnakeEyes: GlyphGryph, doubt: 6 [1d6=4]
(08:50:34 PM) GlyphGryph: YOU ARE HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS OF THIS REASONING
(08:50:37 PM) Kaleb: They might not have been bears. I didn't think to roll (Knowledge: "That thing that's attacking me")
(08:50:53 PM) Kaleb: But you were welcome to examine the body with the guards.
(08:52:09 PM) Neris: Bear Lore.

Sorry guys, but bluhbluh.

[scriver]

Me too. It's my birthday in two days and I'll probably get some money, so then I might see about getting myself a new laptop.. If I can get over the indecisionity. I absolutely hate buhing expensive syuff that I'll have too keep around for years. Too much to choose from!

[Bdthemag]

Bluh bluh bluh bluh bluh

Translation- Something about being busy and/or lazy.

[scriver]

Tomorrow we try again, ever to the task. At least this time there will be no Spanish people getting in my way. See you there, right?

[Strife26]

Hmmm, I'm not even sure if there's going to be any internet access around here during said time period. I'll do my best to get on, up to and including purchasing the horribly expensive free-market "solution" here.
Anyone know what kind of speed IRC needs to run?

[NewsMuffin]

I think IRC has no required speed, but you'd just be really slow.

[Strife26]

Thus far, I've been unable to get Mibbit past the loading screen on this wireless network, which is the only one that's available during the time frame of our game. Hopefully, there'll be one set up for next week. I'll keep trying though.

[Darvi]

Ill be there, although I'll definitely be multitasking this time.

[Bdthemag]

...And my axe, wait im using that phrase wrong. Anyways i'll be there, send me a PM once it starts.

[scriver]

So, my brother decided he suddenly had time to spend some time together, and I don't want to pass it up. I'll be late, but I will show up. I'm not letting you down completely again.
