Strangers in the night Friday December 7th, 2007 8:29:19 AM
> > As Gecktar and Flat-top stand on the step in the moon light both are a bit surprised but the woman's reaction to his current condition, when she is at the door talking to the chosen she is much calmer and explains "He is recovering from a long time drinking habit and has promised that he would not touch the stuff again I am not sure what to do with him anymore he has all the excuses in the book ...undead on the dock, yeah right"[/b] she says in a very sarcastic tone. They see a complete difference in the woman's reaction when she hears that there were actually undead on the docks and her husband did not make it up but is she still put out buy his drinking [i]"Thank you again for bringing him home, he can get himself in a lot of trouble with his mouth when the drink is upon him." When Gecktar asks the woman about the relationship between the pirates, smugglers and the town guards, the lady becomes quiet. She looks suspiciously up and down the street to make sure that no one is around or watching them, then leans in close and whispers to them " I know that that rumors have it that not all our guards are dishonest only most although it's becoming more and more rare to see someone that is not working for the evil characters, or that slime that we call Captain of the watch." Looking around again to see if there are ears on the street she continues "I am not sure of it but again rumors have it that the port authority may not have much sway or power but he is a honorable man and still looks out for the good of this town. I hope that this has been a little bit of help, I must go now and tend my husband goodnight gentlemen my Domi's Light shine on you" That said she closes the door quickly and quietly. Gecktar comments to Flat-top "I'm sure this is a compassionate wife that hate to his love coming back and not able to walk straight. It's difficult to see some we love destroying themselves." > > "Let's go back to the Inn, then. Maybe we will get more information." > > At the tavern taur continue to party it up having live heroes to toast has fueled the fire > Everyone in the tavern when asked anything is extremely helpful but pretty much way to far gone at the bottom of the ale cup to make much sense. > The tavern keeper although sober is flying high on happiness and a bit busy to talk During one of the lulls in serving drinks which are few and far between he tsays to Moshushi "If you are looking for information about smugglers and there ilk then the harbor master is your best shot, he is the one that catches the scum I am sure that he might steer you in the right direction and the bar flys say that he is a trust worthy fellow, he is also way more honorable than the city watch" > > Goodbarrel enjoys the light hearted mood of the tavern and listens to the conversation making a comment about how he wants to get this over with, the Dr and sea travel but it looks like a quest is coming. > Brahmah replies "Yes, a quest likely and unfortunately sea travel is the only means right now to travel" > Moshushi adds that he feels that its might not be safe to talk to this smuggler for he might reveal there plans. Zeoll after just accepting the offer from the guards mentions that if the need arises accidents can be arranged in some dark alley. He quickly informs the group that is at the table what the guards offer is and his plan to meet them offering his ring of invisibility to someone so that they may accompany him. Brahmah intrigued by the idea of going unseen jumps at the chance and he takes the ring from Zeoll hoping for some fun. > The crowd clamous for Zeoll, and again he offers an outstanding performance. As Zeoll finishes his piece the crowd erupts and begs him to come back again before he leave the town. > > Both Zeoll and Brahmah leave the tavern soon there after, and as soon at there are out of sight Brahmah slips on the ring and disappears as they head towads their moon light rendezvous. As the moon reaches its peak at midnight Zeoll and the invisible Brahmah stroll toward the guards post finding it easy with a few quick directions from a passer by. > > As they approach the post they see two figures standing around outside the main door of what they can guess is the local jail and barracks for the town watch. As Zeoll gets closer he sees the guards that were talking in the tavern are the two standing watch at the door. The larger of the two talks quietly to his partner and then the smaller one walks over to greet Zeoll about 10 feet from the door. " The captain says that you need to leave you weapons with me" he then takes any weapons offered and quickly searches (pats down) Zeoll then allows him to enter the doorway in front of him > Zeoll is ushered into a small office in the front of the building. There is a solid looking desk with little clutter, two shelves and a small cabinet at the back of the room. On the desk is a half empty bottle of wine and two glasses. > As Zeoll enters the room the larger of the two introduces himself as "I am Captain Blackmaine and how is it that we may help you.... You are looking to talk to my prisoner you said in the tavern and I am sure that it can be arranged but I would like to know why?.. What could you need from a foul mouthed gnome that we have locked up for trying to smuggle good into my fine city?" > > Outside Brahmah sees the other guards standing near the door as to discourage anyone from listening to what might be going on inside the door. He has a bottle in one hand and every so often takes a good long pull from the bottle. He is dressed in a black leather armor with a red claw marked on the breast
OOC We really appreciate your patience everyone and thank you. We had a bit of a family emergency earlier this week (all is ok now) and then yesterday Jon's hard drive crashed but we are up and going now on the laptop
Zeoll d20+24=41 d20+23=32 d20+23=40 d20+24=29 Friday December 7th, 2007 11:16:16 AM Before entering the guard station
Zeoll casts an extended Heroism on himself (his second one -- he used the first one in the bar). He whispers to Brahmah that he will call out loudly if he needs help. Before entering the station, he activates his Detect Evil tattoo.
Are any of the guards evil? The captain?
In the station
Zeoll does not show his great reluctance to part with the holy sword that Domi himself blessed. He hands it over as if it were a common blade.
Zeoll greets the Captain warmly. He compliments his organization and his staff. He tries to butter him up.
Diplomacy Check 41
He explains that the Chosen are on the trail of the necromancer who sent those undead to attack the town. He has heard a rumor that makes him think a gnome is involved, or maybe has evidence or was a witness. He wants to talk with the gnome to find out. If the gnome agrees, he would like to take the gnome to see some evidence that he has.
Bluff Check 32
Zeoll knows that this is not proper procedure, and would be glad to post "bail" in order to take the gnome into his custody. If the gnome were to escape the town would of course retain the bail. Zeoll offers 1,000 gold for the bail, 500 now, and 500 to be picked up later.
Bluff check to suggest a secret message: 40. The secret implication is that this is a "gift" or "bribe." That the gnome can go free with Zeoll if he wants. That the liontaur has only 500 on him right now, but can get another 500 at the ship.
Zeoll emphasizes that he needs to talk with the gnome alone.
In the cell with the gnome
Zeoll introduces himself and says that he has a few questions. What is the gnome's name? What is his story? Zeoll's next question is whether the gnome knows a certain tune that Zeoll can sing.
Zeoll softly croons a tune, tapping gently on his drum. Perform check is the Will DC to fascinate -- Will save 29.
As the liontaur croons, he walks back and forth, pacing.
If the gnome is fascinated, Zeoll will suddenly end the tune when he is five feet away, hoping to surprise the gnome and be out of reach. He casts Charm Person -- Will DC 20.

Brahmah d20-1=0 d20+12=30 Friday December 7th, 2007 1:15:55 PM
The ranger, unused to stealth, moves slowly and carefully toward the armored figure in black, red claw prominent on his armor.
Why was that claw so familiar? Where had he seen it before? It almost reminds his of the Mailed Fist, another undesirable group Brahmah is familiar with. He sighs. (Int Check ... a big fat zero!! LOL BEAT THAT!!)
He remains close to the gate hoping to hear anything he can. (Listen 30, +2 if human, +4 if centaur)
Brahmah is sure Zeoll is safe, for the most part, but should they see Brahmah, it might make Zeoll's attempt hopeless. Grudgingly, the taur moves to a nearby eave on another building. Darkness helps to shade the minotaur if he reappears.
Did Brahmah see which area Zeoll went to?
Winterglade Saturday December 8th, 2007 7:30:07 AM
[Quietly:] "...And off they went to a dungeon, just the two of them. Rowancloak used to say: never go into a dungeon when there's less than four of you and always take 50ft of rope with you. Wonder if they remembered to bring the rope?..."
Zeoll OOC Saturday December 8th, 2007 7:53:53 AM
It would be easy enough to post that a character follows Zeoll and Brahmah, staying a few hundred feet back so as to remain unnoticed. The centaurs, anyway, could probably pull that off.
Moshushi Saturday December 8th, 2007 3:45:37 PM
Moshushi isn't too tough otr stealthy, and is somewhat conspicuous, bieng of a distrusted race here, so he's staying put unless called for
[Marcin OOC] Sunday December 9th, 2007 12:02:08 PM
[Let's see. I have a -11 to Move Silently and a -15 to Hide. You probably don't want me to try.]
LOL poor Marcin heehe - give it a go anyways lets see if you can get even a one out of it lol,pretty please with a cherry on top :p
[Cayzle OOC] Sunday December 9th, 2007 12:27:03 PM
[Your bluff is more to the point ... "Just a regular commoner Centaur here, nobody special" ...]
[Marcin OOC] Monday December 10th, 2007 3:34:58 AM
["...don't mind that I'm wearing a full plate and carrying a siege shield, it's the latest fashion trend in Aisildur." But all right, we won't leave you alone out there.]
Winterglade Monday December 10th, 2007 3:46:39 AM
The centaur scratches his back. Given the size of it it takes a while. "You know what, partying is all good and nice, but we should probably be on hand if something nasty happens to Zeoll. Let's follow them from a safe distance, yes?"
Winterglade trots after Brahmah and Zeoll, keeping well behind them (at least 1000 feet). After all the guards did ask for him to come alone. He doesn't even make an effort to hide himself - he knows there is going to be clanking of metal. He answers all curious glances with an indignant gaze. "What are you staring at!? I'm going to a costume ball. Dressed up as Valdor Dragonstone." The centaur lowers the tembre of his voice to a deep bass: "No, you can't have my autograph. My swords? I left eight at the smithy to be sharpened. The rest I left at home." [Take10 on Bluff: 11]
Brahmah (invisible) Monday December 10th, 2007 1:28:44 PM
The ranger continues on.
Dm Kristel Monday December 10th, 2007 1:55:23 PM
I think Jon asked you guys this but no one responded lol - when is the last time you got XP and treasure etc as we would like to rectify anything if it has been a while - also when was the last time you leveled up
Thanks everyone
PS Brahmah we forgot to tell you - yes you can see into where Zeoll went with the guard but then the guard shut the door lol so you can see the door to that room at the very least and you can see somewhat into the main room
[Jay] Monday December 10th, 2007 3:36:07 PM
OOC: I did respond to you both on this board, but I suppose you missed it. Not even a week ago.
We last received XP Thursday December 6th, 2007 1:01:50 PM (OOC: August 13th, we got XP for finishing the Black Sword Saga.)
[Cayzle OOC] Monday December 10th, 2007 3:52:53 PM
[Yup. DM Donna gave us 4,000 xp on Aug 13. But Substitute DM Cayzle also gave out 1,000 more xp on Sept 24. THAT was the latest award!]
Dm Kristel Tuesday December 11th, 2007 12:05:48 AM
LOL yup my bad guys sorry Jon said that you did respond and yup I did miss it (its the blonde hair I tell ya)
Post coming
Meetings Tuesday December 11th, 2007 12:57:42 AM Zeoll casts extend heroism on himself and tells Brahmah that he will yell if he is needed. He also activates his detect evil tattoo.
Evil is detected from all the guards the most evil being the Captain of the guard
The Captain of the guard takes Zeoll's buttering up with a faint smile and listens while Zeoll explains the situation and that the Chosen would like to speak with the Gnome prisoner. He also offers to post 'bail' at 1000 gold with 500 to be delivered now and 500 later. The Captains jaw drops then quickly he snaps it shut again, a twinkle can be seen in his eye as he is thinking about the money being offered. "I will allow you to speak with the Gnome for 500 gold but if you want him in your hands then I would ask also for you to do us a service as well as pay the other 500 gold" The captain then leads Zeoll out of the office and through a door with some stairs leading down. He points to the cell the gnome is in then patiently waits for his money before leaving the two alone.
Meanwhile Brahmah still outside tries to figure out where he has seen the guards insignia before. As he moves more out of sight the other guard that was in the building comes out and whispers to the guard outside then the two of them head off together into the darkness. The building's main floor at least seems to now be empty as Zeoll and the guard captain have now headed down the stairs leaving the door open behind them.
Goodbarrel aka Winterglade decides to follow Zeoll and Brahmah at a safe distance being very careful as not to be seen.
Back in the tavern the bartender has run out of ale due to the impromptu celebration caused by the Chosen. Flat-top, Mosushi and Gecktar find themselves almost alone in the tavern with the majority of the customers having headed for home after having to each thank them again for their braveness. The few remaining customers are either nursing their last ale trying to make the night last a little longer or are too drunk to even try to remember how to get home and even a few have already passed out on tables or benches and even the floor in front of the fire. The bartender shakes his head and says "I wonder if there will ever be a night where my customers do not stay over" he says this with a smile and obviously does not mind as he goes into the back and brings out blankets and starts to cover those who are sleeping. He offers the remaining Chosen blankets too inquiring as to whether or not they also will be spending the night.
Winterglade Tuesday December 11th, 2007 4:08:31 AM
Winterglade stands hidden behind a corner, patiently waiting for either the return of Zeoll and Brahmah or first signs of trouble. He twiddles his fingers. It doesn't feel like a very satisfying occupation. A pipe should be considered, maybe? Many strong and wise men of legends smoked pipes. Wonder why. Maybe because it sent across a message that they were old and powerful and could Fire Storm anybody's butt to Koshe-Marr in less than three seconds? Besides, just think: to take out a pipe and light it up with a Meteor Swarm, how stylish that would be?
Zeoll d20+14=15 d20+23=32 d20+12=16 d20+27=30 Tuesday December 11th, 2007 11:39:09 AM
Zeoll tells the Captain that he would certainly be open to doing him a favor, but of course he would have to hear what the favor is first.
Alone with the gnome, Zeoll checks his alignment, using his tattoo for a second time if needed.
Zeoll begins by asking the gnome some basic questions. What is his name, why is he in prison, what brings him to the Taur Isles, etc. Other small talk. In this way Zeoll gets to know him and hopes to get a hunch as to his character. Sense Motive check to do this is a 15 -- a nat one! The gnome is a closed book to Zeoll! LOL!
The liontaur then tells the gnome the same story he told the captain. (Zeoll expects someone is eavesdropping, and he does not want to contradict himself.) He tells the gnome that he is investigating the necromancer, and he has three pieces of evidence. The first is a body and the second is an item. He wants the gnome to take a look at these things. The third is a tune. Zeoll wants the gnome to listen to it and tell him if he recognizes it.
Bluff check to lie like a carpet -- 32.
Zeoll tries to remember a well-known gnomish tune he may have heard in the past -- Bardic Lore 16.
Whatever tune he tries, he uses it to Fascinate the gnome. Will save DC vs Fascinate is the same as his perform check: 30.
If the gnome is fascinated, Zeoll then surprises him with a Charm Person spell: Will Save DC is 20.
If the gnome is charmed, Zeoll asks him to come with him out of the jail, first to help the liontaur, then to freedom.
Gecktar Tuesday December 11th, 2007 2:30:04 PM "We won't importune you anymore. You are a good guy. I know many barteners that would not hesitate to throw those remaining outside even on a cold or rainy night"
"Take this for you labor. And may Domi always watch you with his good eye"
"You're making an excellent work and by your hands the world is better"
Gecktar hands the bartener two shining pieces of platinum.
He turns to see Flat-Top and Mosushi. "Hey guys, its tme to leave"
Brahmah (invisible) d20+12=23 d20+13=21 Tuesday December 11th, 2007 3:20:49 PM
Really eager to follow the two men, Brahmah holds, remembering he's a great tracker and will be able to follow later. He notes their exact direction.
He sneaks back closer to the building, making sure there is no one else there. [Being as vigilant as he's being, can he hear or see the Glade coming? Listen 23, Spot 21... +4 for centaurs, +2 for humans]
Moshushi Tuesday December 11th, 2007 5:44:43 PM
" i think you're right. it's time to go to the drunk. I'm a little bit boat."

To Gnome or not to Gnome :) Tuesday December 11th, 2007 10:36:27 PM
As Zeoll is looks around at the lower level of the jail he finds that its still a fairly clean operation only a few more recent looking piles of rubbage. The captain shows him to a cell in the back corner of the jail The captain opens the cell door to allow you to talk before you is a small 5 foot wide cell with a small bed mounted to the wall. Laying on the bed is a is a small greyish gnome about 3 feet tall with a white beard he is dressed in a fine black suit. As Zeoll steps into the cell the captain says "I will give you the details of what I need before you leave here now I shall I will leave you two to chat" with that he walks away toward the stairs Activating his tattoo Zeoll sees that the gnome is evil but more netreal then anything you sense little from him other than he olny cares for himself. He answers the first question with "Balintine a entraponure" he answers to the next question "What bring me he why that foul wetch at the Dock planted things in my bag" you can easily tell that this is a lie "to fine me in am sure". he adds As Zeoll the begins to talk he sits up listing to his story his a child like fasination "I wish that I could help you farther .... (fails check for fasination, and charm) Why yes I beleave you are right I should leave here my friend lead on, any where is beter then here". When Zeoll leads the gnome to the top of the stairs the Captain says "Here this is your favor as you are mighty heroe's this should be easy for you,and as they are eluding me " He hands Zeoll a picture " this the a picture of a man that killed the mayors daughter and is responsible for many raids on the merchants entering this fair city. I want you to bring them to justice and kill him for the murders that he has caused" leave me the gold all of it and you may leave withthe gnome or he can stay here a few days til you get back and you can take him then up to you hero" [/i] Brahmah (invisible) sees the captain coming back up heading to the other side of the desk then retrieves a few thing from the desk adds the gold given to his drawer and closes it witha click he then places the key on chain around his neck Winterglade stands hidden behind a corner, the wind blows but only normal city traffic, no one pays and extra attantion to him Gecktar says that its time to leave and, Moshushi agrees sort of. Flat-Top complains of a sore hoof, The bar keeper says that he can stay and rest here if he wishes and is surprised and grateful at the payment offered. 'There is no need to pay me my friends but I do thank you' he says as he accepts the coins "You are welcome here anytime you wish"
Winterglade Wednesday December 12th, 2007 4:55:39 AM
[Sure, Brahmah should be able to hear the characteristic clicking of Winterglade's armor from far away. Like I mentioned, -11 to Move Silently...]
The centaur, obviously not aware that Brahmah is watching, is holding a wooden spoon in his mouth like one would pipe and watching his reflection on the polished surface of his shoulder guard. Every now and then he makes a face. "Old and wise. Hmm. Now mysterious and enigmatic. Hmm. Wrathful. Blast, Winterglade just can't do a convincing wrathful."
Zeoll d20+14=21 d20+12=26 d20+24=34 d20+23=25 Wednesday December 12th, 2007 11:25:21 AM
Zeoll smiles at his new friend and says he will be glad to take him from this place.
The liontaur takes the picture from the Captain and tries to get a feel for if he is telling the truth. What's the real story here? And what can he tell from the picture? Race? Age? He asks for the target's name, too.
Sense Motive vs the Captain: 21 Bard Lore vs the picture: 26
Then the Captain says that Zeoll will have to come back with the gold to secure the gnome's release. Zeoll smiles and tries to convince the Captain that either the Captain should come with Zeoll to get the money, or he should be content to let Zeoll return tomorrow.
"The night is young, and I have much to do," says Zeoll. "Come with me, frriend, and we can talk morre about this favorr I will be doing forr you. And you may find that what I have to show this gnome is very interesting indeed!"
Diplomacy to convince the captain: 34. Bluff to keep a straight face and be convincing: 25
Brahmah d20=2 Wednesday December 12th, 2007 3:59:26 PM
Glade can hear the familiar snicker of the Chosen's leader. But where is he?
DMHighlight to display spoiler: {Brahmah will sneak up (Move Silently 2) on Glade and pinch a flank and say boo. ;) He will reappear of course.}
Moshushi Wednesday December 12th, 2007 6:34:07 PM
Are we heading back to the boat?
You can dress him up but you can't take him Gnome Wednesday December 12th, 2007 11:52:19 PM
The captain looks at Zeoll and then to his desk drawer, " Fine take this waste of space from my sight he is your responsibility now and I will hold you to your bargain hero" From the picture you get that the target is a Centaur of middle age, You are told that his name is Jacktar but you do sense that he is not telling you everything or lying about something,
While Glade waits with a spoon in his mouth watching the street and building for trouble. Brahmah tries to scare his friend kicking a rock just before he does making his presence know sort of he reappears when he grabs Glades side. Glade jumps in surprise somehow managing to not hear Brahmah sneak up on him.
The rest of the party makes their way back to the boat some a little more inebriated than others.
Gecktar Thursday December 13th, 2007 3:35:00 AM
Gecktar hopes that the other Chosen will not get in trouble. Should they need help, he will be in dire trouble to give a help.
Seeing the boat on the docks he says to Flat-top and Mosushi "Well now, we will wait for a while for Zeoll, Glade and Brahmah and if they don't show their face we will go to bed."
"Let's wait for them for a while"
Winterglade Thursday December 13th, 2007 5:36:36 AM
"Eeeek!" The centaur jumps up two feet. Given the circumstances he recovers magnificiently, quickly pushing the spoon into his saddlebags. "Please don't do that again! Gods know you're not a marvel to look at, Captain, but when you sneak out of the dark like that you look downright heart stopping."
"What's going on anyway? Are we going to return to the ship now? Where's Zeoll?"
Brahmah Thursday December 13th, 2007 7:19:19 AM
Coughing from laughing, the ranger says confidently, "Zeoll is in the jail looking into some matters. I don't know what exactly but I'm sure it won't hinder our progression."
Adds as an after thought, "He might be looking into this Winterglade fellow's past to see what kind of scoundrel he is." He smirks.
Zeoll d20+24=39 d20+23=31 Thursday December 13th, 2007 8:53:37 AM
Zeoll thanks the Captain and promises that he will be back.
Then he and the gnome walk out, meeting Brahmah and Glade.
[OOC: Did I understand correctly? The gnome's name is "Balintine"?]
He tells his friends that this gnome has agreed to help us with our investigations. He leads everyone back to the ship.
Back at the ship, Zeoll proceeds to wring this gnome dry. He is diplomatic and friendly, and Zeoll hopes the gnome will not suspect a thing as they talk. Zeoll also plies him with some of Kael's ale as a way to loosen his lips.
Diplomacy 39, Bluff 31
Zeoll wants to know about smugglers in the area, especially any who might be supplying the doctor. He wants to know who the top smugglers are. He wants to know about the Captain, about who in the guard is corrupt and who is honorable. Zeoll asks who would have bailed him out if Zeoll had not stopped by. He also asks him about the necromancer and the undead.
DM's Thursday December 13th, 2007 10:25:20 AM
Yup the name of the gnome is Balintine
Zeoll Extra Thursday December 13th, 2007 11:00:02 AM
Zeoll reclaims his sword on the way out.
Brahmah Thursday December 13th, 2007 12:38:25 PM
The ranger can't seem to keep his eyes off the little gnome. They are weird things. I eat more for breakfast! Hope Zeoll knows what he's doing. Thinks the minotaur.
"So, Z, who is this? A new friend?"
He shrugs at Glade. "Seems we have a new body to look after. Hope this won't affect our deal with the captain."
Were Gnome ! Thursday December 13th, 2007 9:53:45 PM
With almost empty streets the chosen make good time as Brahmah, Zeoll and Winterglade usher there new friend back to the ship and into Brahmahs quarters as quickly as possible.They only stopping on deck for a moment to announce them self to the guards. Moshushi Gecktar, and Flat-top arrive only a few moments behind them. OOC.... More to come tomorrow
Winterglade Friday December 14th, 2007 8:28:31 AM
As soon as the party steps on the deck Winterglade visibly relaxes. "Ahh, Winterglade can speak normally again. Good grief, he's been watching his tongue all day."
[Discreetly:] "Zeoll, how much does Winterglade chip in on that bail?"
The centaur listens as Zeoll questions the little gnome but gets bored after half an hour and lets his mind wander off. A few hours later he opens his eyes again, goes to his old spot on the ballista tower and pulls out his needlework, intent on continuing his project under the light of the moon.
Zeoll d20+7=21 d20+7=12 d20+7=14 d20+7=14 d20+7=21 Friday December 14th, 2007 9:18:44 AM
Zeoll actually has not told anyone about the bail yet ... and seeing as he is keeping very close to the gnome, probably won't get the chance to for a little while. [OOC: do let's worry about it later.]
Zeoll seeks out a private place to chat with his new friend. [See previous post for topics of conversation. By the way, a charmed person can make opposed Chr rolls to avoid doing things he would rather not do, such as spilling his guts. Zeoll's opposed Chr rolls are ... 21 (smugglers in the area), 12 (the Doctor), 14 (th Guard), 14 (Who would have bailed him out), and 21 (the attack by the undead).]
Brahmah Friday December 14th, 2007 11:47:18 AM
The minotaur watches the gnome while he's in his room.
CDM Jerry Friday December 14th, 2007 3:54:49 PM
Greetings Woldians!
I am excited to tell you that BIG, even HUGE changes are coming for The Wold. The Wold is evolving and everyone one of you will be affected. But I'm not going to tell you about it here. I'm just going to whet your appetite:

Brahmah Saturday December 15th, 2007 1:17:31 PM
"So, who is carrying the party funds?" The ranger removes 150gp from his pouch.
When they are away from prying ears, Brahmah brings up something to the Chosen that has been on his mind for some time. "Once we recover that magical map, is there any way to transfer its magical qualities to something or someone else? Like a tattoo maybe? Because I will have it transferred to my body, magical qualities and all if necessary.... but I think it going to take a 'miracle'!"
Moshushi d20=13 Saturday December 15th, 2007 10:55:20 PM

Adm Ceil - Every body was doing their besd, Except that road apple droper??
Flat-top Monday December 17th, 2007 7:27:59 AM
Flat-top is now totally Confused??
Gecktar Monday December 17th, 2007 1:49:17 PM "If you all agree, I can take the charge of the party funds. I may report it to you every week so you will be aware of all what we decided and the impacts on our money."
Gecktar get the money from Brahmah, "so you're the first to donate for the cause of the Chosen, captain, this is a good order of thing, I think. I double you'r contribution so we got 300 gold now. It's a good start"
OOC I you are right with this I will keep track of the party funds and will post an OOC report every week on monday (if I'm able to post, and if I'm not gone away with all the gold...)
Moshushi Monday December 17th, 2007 7:25:14 PM
here's some gold
gives over 150, trying not to think that it could have been booze
I will gnome you Monday December 17th, 2007 8:04:14 PM
As the party ushers the gnome to the ship little happens the guard accept them abord seeing the new friend say nothing but watch the gnome closely until they have him below decks
AS Zeoll and the chosen find a quiet place to chat with there gnomish friend It would seem that there quarters are the best spot Brahmahs being the biggest so they all stand around the large table while the gnome Balintine sits on a chair
At first the gnome is very helpful telling you a few things about himself. I am indeed names Balintine and yes I am a merchant and private buessness owner. I would gladly help you with anything that you need for a small few or course" he grins "I dont ask much only a small bobble and my freedom. "Now I don't know anything about this island that you talk about but I do know someone would more then likely know where this Island is. If you wish I can tell you where they are The Guard well that is a different matter altogether, I while ago I would have said no one but now I will say me for they more corrupt then I am er... Opps I did not mean that,he cringes he starts again That captain has little morals rumor has it and as for the undead you talk about I have no idea what is news to me I was I a jail since yesterday.
while the gnome talks to Zeoll Brahmah and a few others slip out to have quiet talk They talk about both there money situation as well as the map
Flat-top stands confused
Moshushi is still drunk so not thinking clearly but hand out some gold.
Winterglade listens for a few minutes then exits with the others and asks Brahmah about the money and then walk up to the Ballista tower to work on his projects.
Gecktar takes the money from Brahmah and volenteers to be the party's money bags
Brahmah Monday December 17th, 2007 8:04:26 PM
OOC: Checking in...
Had brief mouse technology issue, but fixed now.
Winterglade Tuesday December 18th, 2007 10:25:59 AM
"Sure Gecktar, you carry it. Winterglade will contribute what he can. We'll need supplies for our fight against Mauroth." The centaur hands Gecktar 150 gold.
Zeoll d20+7=13 Tuesday December 18th, 2007 11:28:20 AM
The liontaur asks his gnome friend if he would take the Chosen to the person who can tell us more, and make an introduction. It would be so helpful!
Charisma check 13.
Zeoll asks if someone can cast Neutralize Poison on Mosushi so that the entire group can go together to the person who knows more.
Oh, and Zeoll asks the gnome what he knows about this Jacktar fellow.
Gecktar Tuesday December 18th, 2007 12:30:35 PM
Gecktar collects the money and put it all in his haversack, but far from the sight of the little gnome. Those pesty creatures are agile and could rob without you noticing it.
"Sorry Zeoll, I don't have this spell ready. Maybe Glade ?"
Brahmah Tuesday December 18th, 2007 3:32:45 PM
OOC: I am concerned about Brahmah when I think about the upcoming Wold changes. I think he will have to take leave from the Chosen. But we will see.
Brahmah waits.
Moshushi Tuesday December 18th, 2007 5:10:22 PM
Moshushi wanders off to dunk his head in a bucket lon enough to sober up, then returns
Zeoll OOC Tuesday December 18th, 2007 7:57:09 PM
Jay, as "Catacombs DM" you may earn a second PC. Maybe several of us can go join a Challenge Game.
DM Kristel Wednesday December 19th, 2007 6:51:30 AM
I may be mistaken Jay but from what I understand you as catacombs DM (DM being the key word) you should still be able to have your second character
Winterglade Wednesday December 19th, 2007 7:31:48 AM
"Sure, Winterglade will help." The centaur traces a little sigil on Moshushi's temple [casting Neutralize Poison]. "There we go."
Gecktar Wednesday December 19th, 2007 11:52:47 AM
Gecktar waits for the answer of the little creature to bring them to this Jacktar.
Realizing the similarities with his own name he looks at all Chosen and says "No he isn't a cousin, and I don't know him at all. And Gecktar is my first name. My name is Cadeqa... Why do you look at me like this. Really I don't know him, it, or what it could be !"
Brahmah Wednesday December 19th, 2007 12:37:45 PM
OOC: Hmm... earn a second PC? I must have misunderstood. Well!! In that case... Brahmah will happily stay on as Chosen! In a Career game.
Brahmah waits for something to happen.
Flat-top Wednesday December 19th, 2007 5:24:39 PM
Flat-top stands there looking through his purse?? "I wonder where my Gold went to?? I had more coins than this??"
Looking around for his Captain, "Captain! Our Captain? Did I spend more than I wanted in the Tavern?? Oh! Well Here Gecthar i have 150gold left, take it! Some how i'm having fun, but my money is going faster and faster??"
At this point Flat-top is a little unsteady on his hoves.
Brahmah Wednesday December 19th, 2007 5:36:54 PM
Party fund so far.
Brahmah has contributed 150gp. Gecktar has contributed 150gp. Flat-top has contributed some gold, but how much?
"We still need to have a holder of funds, a treasurer. We'll call them the Holder so we don't attract thieves." [I would hope the Holder would keep records of funds.]
Dm Wednesday December 19th, 2007 8:05:03 PM
OOC guy tomorrow we are off to my dad's for xmas will be back on monday so we need to put a hold here til then sorry about this but we will not be here Jon and Kristel Happy holidays
Winterglade Thursday December 20th, 2007 4:34:47 AM
"Winterglade has put in 150 gold, too." [On December 18th]
Flat-top Thursday December 20th, 2007 8:11:25 AM
Flat-top give Captain Brahmah 150 Gold coins coins "OK! Here's my shair." then folds his miney pouch flat.
Gecktar Thursday December 20th, 2007 11:09:51 AM
Gecktar has already proposed himself as "Holder". The situation is : 750 gp
Brahmah 150 gp Gecktar 150 gp Moshushi 150 gp Glade 150 gp Flat Top 150 gp
And BTW happy holidays Kristel and Jon !
Brahmah Thursday December 20th, 2007 4:38:45 PM
He is happy to see Gecktar step up as Holder.
Moshushi Thursday December 20th, 2007 6:41:02 PM
Moshushi is now sober. How sad.
OOC: I'll be travelling until the 30th, so have a good holiday everyone.
Flat-top Friday December 21st, 2007 10:58:04 AM
"OK! Now where do we go now? Not the tavern I don't have enough money for another Green Ghomish!" Said Flat-top with a sad look on his face.
Brahmah Friday December 21st, 2007 12:43:49 PM
"Ho, ho ho, Happy Gift Giving day friends!!"
Zeoll Friday December 21st, 2007 2:43:13 PM
Feeling a special warmth in his heart, Zeoll attributes it to the season rather than a medical problem and sings a traditional orcish tune, "The Carol of the Elves."
Hark! Hearr the elves! Sweet tasty elves! All seem to crry: Darrn! Now we die!
Dinnerr is herre! Orrcs all will cheerr! Eat young and old! Eat meek and bold!
Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong! Hail dinnerr gong! We love that song! Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong! Eat elves! Be strrong!
DING DONG DING DONG!
Winterglade d20+1=17 Saturday December 22nd, 2007 4:02:35 AM
"Yeah! Let's sing a few songs!" Winterglade picks up another tune and even manages to stay in key [Perform 17].
"I'm dreaming of a red dragon Just like the ones I used to know That lights trees on fire And is full of ire And turns whole cities into chow
I'm dreaming of a red dragon With largest hoard there's ever been May your blades be vorpal and keen And may all your ancient wyrms be mean."
Brahmah Saturday December 22nd, 2007 11:04:44 AM
He laughs out loud. "Where have I heard that tune, Gla.... urm, Goodbarrel?!"
Flat-top Sunday December 23rd, 2007 9:43:13 AM
Flat-top stats singing "Hail! To the Wold! Their beer Is Here!".
Out of no where somebody put a rag in Flat-top's mouth "Muff! Muff! Pa-Too-E!" Flat-top spit out the bar rag. "Who Do That??" He ask.
Brahmah Monday December 24th, 2007 1:16:28 AM

Happy Holidays
Winterglade Monday December 24th, 2007 5:21:24 AM
"Mmmm. What a silent night."

CDM Jerry: OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT Saturday December 29th, 2007 11:58:12 AM
Greetings Woldians,
I hope you've been keeping up with the changes we've been discussing on the LnB. If not, you have a novel to read amongst all the posts.
Basically, we're doing the following things:
--purging all 2nd characters from everyone except DMs...that's their reward for being a DM. --We're adding a new type game: Challenge Games. It is a 2 year campaign game. We're calling our normal games Career Games.
Anyway, because of the Challenge Games, which will begin ASAP for their first 2 year run, as well as the pruning of the 2nd characters, we'll be holding a vote starting
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2ND
...and ENDING on
MONDAY, JANUARY 7TH
We'll be voting on one thing only:
Do you want to play in a Challenge Game or a Career Game?
If you choose Career Game, I"ll want a second piece of information. I will need to know if you want to remain in your current game or move to another.
That's it.
Voting is NOT accepted until January 2nd and all votes will be emailed to me here at gericko@gmail.com. I will not accept votes that are made on the LnB, though you may post your vote there if you want.
If you don't vote, then the ACDMs and I will be PLACING you into a Challenge game by default as that is the "new thing" and we're kinda pushing it as a new option.
Let me repeat that and reword it:
If you don't vote you lose your right to choose your game and WILL be placed. Yeah I know that is hard, but we're moving forward and don't want to have votes trickling in weeks later.
This email is just to get your attention in case you haven't been following the information overload on the LnB.
If you have a question about all this or are now totally confused, reply to me only or post on the LnB where you'll get 100s of people telling you what is going on. :)
Or you can IM me on AIM. My handle is Gericko.
Enjoy your day and don't freak out!

We are a career game Mo :o)
Brahmah Wednesday January 2nd, 2008 2:40:06 PM
OOC: Dagnabit!!! I was hoping.... well, since this is a lull.
I have to ask, I have two PCs. Brahmah and Lian. Both games I play in are Career games.
This means I have to drop one I believe? Neither are Challenge games. I am a DM.
Kristel Wednesday January 2nd, 2008 3:06:17 PM
I have no idea if this is possible but if everyone is interested I will see if maybe the Chosen can be turned into a challenge game - I dont know if it will work but I can ask - so let me know either here or email dryftermum@sympatico.ca what you guys think and I will go from there (I think challenge games have to all be new though but it never hurts to ask)
Cayzle OOC Wednesday January 2nd, 2008 4:37:53 PM
I'm in the same boat as Jay. I'm hoping that most/all of us will move their Chosen PCs to a new Challenge Game. Maybe to a Challenge Game set in the Taur Isles. And DMed by Jon and Kristel. Based on the idea that Domi himself has chosen some champions to heal the rifts among the Taurs.
:-)
Kristel Wednesday January 2nd, 2008 5:14:28 PM
Cayzle that is a good idea I like it
OOC I promise a post tonite I really do lol thanks for all your patience the holidays are so screwy around here
Jay Wednesday January 2nd, 2008 6:15:43 PM
Great idea! Question: Do we, as the Chosen, think, that the rift between taurs can be settled in two years?
Could Reunification happen by the end of this Challenge game?
I personally think that with our current and brilliant DMs, we can accomplish this! I for one would love to see a finale for the Chosen before ending the game... who says the end comes at retirement?! We could retire as mid-level heroes. I don't see any reason to go up to 21s to retire, but 11th-15th is just about right.
Besides, I don't see Brahmah surviving the final battle. :)
Gnome Toss??? Thursday January 3rd, 2008 12:14:35 AM
Winterglade/Goodbarrel agrees that Gecktar should be their bank and he hands him 150gp.
Zeoll asks Balantine their smuggler gnome 'friend' if he can take the Chosen to the person who can give them more information and make an introduction. The gnome replies "I can do this if you can help me get a certain bauble and then let me have my freedom"Zeoll then asks if someone can cast a neutralize poison on poor Mosushi, he then asks what the gnome knows of this Jacktar fellow. The gnome replies that he has never heard that name before.
Gecktar collects everyone's money then out of sight of the untrustworthy gnome he hides it in his pack.
Mosushi trying to get sober decides to dunk his head in the nearest water barrel.
Winterglade casts neutralize poison on Mosushi who is now unhappily sober.
Gecktar thinking on how similar this Jacktar's name is to his assures everyone that he is not related to him in any way whatsoever.
Flat-top goes searching into his bags for his money and wonders aloud if anyone knows where it all went, maybe it was spent in the tavern??? He then hands Gecktar his 150gp contribution.
The Companions share a bit of the holiday cheer singing some rather interesting songs and goofing around. The crew also celebrates the holidays offering some drink to their passengers and well wishes, while Flat-top makes up his own little song about beer and finds that someone has stuffed a rag into his mouth. He spits it out and asks who dunnit? He is told that he speaks in his sleep and last night he was talking about Aisildurian hobgoblins. "Aisildurian hobgoblins" he asks then stuffs the rag back into his mouth. After a comment from Brahmah he offers to stuff the rag into Brahmah's mouth with a sly grin. Brahmah is wishing that he had a whacking stick to give Flat-top a good one. Zeoll nearly busts a gut laughing at the antics of his friends. The gnome Balantine simply shakes his head in wonder. Brahmah suggests a fine game of toss the gnome to which the gnome eyes wide strongly objects.
Going back to more serious things Zeoll goes back to questioning Balantine. "I will help you find and introduce you to the one you are seeking but for that I need you to help me get a small bauble and also my freedom, oh and you must protect me while we are around the smugglers, you know, I scratch your back, you scratch mine kind of thing" the gnome says again. "The captain of the guard you speak of is no more corrupt than I am ... uhm I mean.. he is somewhat corrupt. If you really want information I would talk to that know it all harbour master, he seems to know where to find all the smugglers..err. except me.. I was mistakenly arrested." the gnome is quiet for a moment then says "If you could let me into town for a bit, I need to get some supplies before we go anywhere, I promise to come back" As the gnome finishes speaking Captain Heartson comes in and hands Brahmah a note. The note is from the Captain of the guard and it is a reminder to them of the task they have undertaken in exchange for the gnome prisoner and he is requesting an answer as to when they will be starting.
OOC nice imagination on those songs guys they gave us a good laugh
Winterglade Thursday January 3rd, 2008 3:49:24 AM
"Whoa whoa whoa. A task? What task? Winterglade thought we're in a hurry?"
Flat-top Thursday January 3rd, 2008 8:42:59 AM
Flat-top lean on a sturdy post watching everybody else have fun. But he will follow his Captain Brahmah into any trouble they may get into.
Brahmah Thursday January 3rd, 2008 11:50:46 AM
Goodbarrel ~ While away from the gnome, "So, are we using our real names again, Glade?" He smiles. "If you can't even keep it straight, how can WE be expected too?"
The gnome ~ "We're taurs, we're not stupid. We'll travel around the city with you... you know, for your protection." The minotaur smirks.
(Um, my bull-head seems to have forgotten the task at hand. Please enlighten. :))
Zeoll Thursday January 3rd, 2008 1:38:16 PM
Zeoll asks his new friend Balantine to give the Chosen a few minutes alone. Then he calls the Chosen close together and whispers, "We arre seeking info on the Evil Doctorr. We have two leads: (1) Ballantine the gnome knows someone and will take us to visit him. (2) There's a guy named Jacktar who might know something."
It is now about what, midnight? 2 am? I think we should follow Ballantine to see this friend of his right now.
Ballantine says he wants a "bauble" and his freedom for leading us to the Smuggler Guy.
The Evil Captain of the Guard wants another 500 gold and the head of this Jacktar fellow as payment for letting Ballantine out of jail. That's on top of the 500 gp Zeoll already gave to him.
Zeoll says that Ballantine is selfish, but not evil. The Captain of the Guard is evil to the core. Zeoll has thought that the Chosen would be doing very well to expose or unseat or kill the Captain of the Guard and his evil followers.
Maybe a Suggestion spell like this: "Go find the Harbormaster and the High Priest of Domi and fully confess all your crimes to them both." That idea makes Zeoll laugh.
Then Zeoll brings Ballantine back in. He again thanks the gnome and says that the Chosen might help him get his "bauble" after the meeting with his contact.
He asks someone to write back to the Captain on his behalf (Zeoll is illiterate), telling him that they'll look for Jacktar tomorrow, no worries.
DM Thursday January 3rd, 2008 1:41:42 PM
The task was initially given to Zeoll - I can't remember if Zeoll passed the info to the rest of you yet or not
DM Thursday January 3rd, 2008 1:43:08 PM
lol ignore my post hehe Zeoll posted the same time as I was
Ballantine said he has never heard that name before.
Note that the Evil Guard Captain wants us to kill this Jacktar. That seems to me a good reason to keep him alive and talk with him!
Brahmah Thursday January 3rd, 2008 5:02:10 PM
"In that case Z, we should even keep the gnome away from Jacktar too. Who knows, he might be working for the guard." He shrugs.
He whispers, "What sort of bauble do you think he could want?"
