Gentain's first priority is to keep the group together. If Eclip insists on going to see Doloff, then okay. But if he can wit a little more, then Gentian will go down the dumbwaiter.
"Someone's got to have some courage in this group!" he exclaims as he goes down the dumbwaiter.
Resolutions Saturday December 30th, 2006 10:42:34 AM
When the group comes to a final decision, they all are awarded 100xp, but not until then.
(Thanks your patients during the holidays. I promise I will have this wrapped up soon.)
Xmas Hint: It is not as complicated as your all making it.
Eclip and Spirit Saturday December 30th, 2006 1:20:15 PM
Eclip stays with the group for now, "If your going to try the dumbwaiter. make sure it goes all the way down before sending Gentian in it."
Toothache Monday January 1st, 2007 11:52:21 AM
"This should be quite in'erestin'."
breanna Monday January 1st, 2007 5:46:36 PM
breanna lowers the dumbwaiter to see how far down it goes.
Lenoir Tuesday January 2nd, 2007 4:26:55 AM
The Big Black fighter yells at the leader, "What do you want me to do? Stay here? Or go back up stairs?"
Eclip and Spirit Tuesday January 2nd, 2007 10:28:39 AM
Eclip and Spirit will follow Breanna to the foyer where the dumbwaiter is.
Gentian Tuesday January 2nd, 2007 11:03:46 AM
The halfling goes down the dumbwaiter.
"D'Oh! This is what i shoulda done in the first place!"
Calor Tuesday January 2nd, 2007 12:55:02 PM
"I'm with Eclip. Let's just go find Doloff and tell him what we found."
Toothache Tuesday January 2nd, 2007 5:35:33 PM
"As much as I like an adventure, I think I'm with them. We need to tell Doloff what we found. I think telling him of the fey, their story and the hidden door should be enough to make him happy. Then we get paid!"
Lenoir Wednesday January 3rd, 2007 6:21:06 AM
"That's alright with me! I'll be right up!" He yells up the stairs. "I hate to be talkings to my self.
As he enter the hall again, Sure enough! Everybody is headding down the hall to meet with Doloff. He shakes his head and follows the noise they are making.
Eclip and Spirit Wednesday January 3rd, 2007 10:06:40 AM "Breanna, lets go find Doloff before letting Gentian go down the dumbwaiter. If anything happens to him there is no-one who can go after him. Let's see what Doloff has to say." Eclip is ready to go find Doloff, but don't what to leave anyone behind.
Spirit is at Eclip's side.
Lenoir Thursday January 4th, 2007 4:51:01 AM
Lenoir exits the celler and runs after the others, "Hey! Wait for Me!!"
Toothache Thursday January 4th, 2007 10:55:32 AM
The dwarf heads for the door.
Calor Thursday January 4th, 2007 2:31:41 PM
The brown haired wizard follows the dwarf.
Gentian Thursday January 4th, 2007 3:34:38 PM
The halfling goes along with the group consensus and joins his comrades in heading to Doloff.
breanna Friday January 5th, 2007 4:22:44 AM
breanna will also go to see doloff
Off to see Doloff... Friday January 5th, 2007 6:10:37 AM
You all move off to see Doloff.
"Where too? Moony's?" Suggests the dwarf.
(OOC: I have surgery in 4 hours, so I will be out for a couple of days and will not be posting.)
Lenoir Friday January 5th, 2007 6:18:05 AM
Lenoir follows the sound of running feet.
Eclip and Spirit Friday January 5th, 2007 9:28:50 AM
Eclip heads out to find Doloff with the others, "Yea, Moony's."
Spirit follows at Eclip's side.
Calor Friday January 5th, 2007 11:20:42 AM
"Sure"
Back to Moony's Saturday January 6th, 2007 7:57:16 AM
The group moves down to the tavern. Travel is fast and uneventful.
Upon entering the bar, you see Kolpis and Doloff at the bar. There are a handful of other patrons at tables.
All look at the door. Doloff stands and Kolpis tosses a towel over his shoulder.

The wizard makes straight for Koloff.
"Wine," he says, pulling out his purse. "Good wine."
The brown haired man turns, back to the bar, elbows propped up. He leans over to Doloff. "Can we talk to you for a sec?"
Lenoir Monday January 8th, 2007 6:03:43 PM
Lenoir goes to the other side of Koloff, But ask the bartender "A Pint of your Best Ale! Please?" To Koloff he ask "Is my horse alright??!
Breanna Monday January 8th, 2007 9:13:27 PM
breanna also heads to doloff
Lenoir Tuesday January 9th, 2007 7:10:03 AM
Drinks one big gulp,"Ahhh!Thank you! Bartender This is very good!" Lenoir turns to the two on his left side, "Can I get the both of you a ale??"
Eclip and Spirit Tuesday January 9th, 2007 11:27:13 AM
Eclip sees Doloff, "There you are. Your house has a lot of history!"
Spirit stays at Eclip's side.
Relaying info Tuesday January 9th, 2007 11:37:51 AM
Doloff looks at the group with curiousity. Turning to Eclip, he asks, "Uh, yeah." He moves off to a remote table. "What did you find out?"
Lenoir Wednesday January 10th, 2007 4:54:59 AM
Lenoir waits for the ale and when the bartender gives the black fighter the three mug of ale. he ask lenoir for three silver pices.
Lenoir takes the alles to the table where Doloff and Eclip are sitting, places the ales in frount of them (keeping one mug for himself). He will ask "My I sit here , to watch the croud?"
Eclip and Spirit Wednesday January 10th, 2007 10:43:16 AM
Eclip orders an ale to drink as he talks. "First off Mr Doloff, you are not craze. The events you experienced really did happen. Your manor is built on one of the special places where the worlds' magical energy is concentrated referred to as a nexus. Most of the time the nexus is harmless, but under the right conditions, such as the coming blue moon, it can be used by those with the art to do powerful magic for good or bad. Prior to the building of your manor, this particular nexus was the holy place to the Fey which they called Cill Dara. Some four hundred years ago a human with the ability to use the nexus came and built the manor with the intent of doing some sort of powerful dark magic. He failed, apparently dieing in his attempt to use the nexus. Even so Cill Dara was harmed by the building of the manor, the Fey continue to live there and protect it. It was they who cause the strange occurrences over the years. They were the ones who through you out of the manor and caused it to vanish. They sense a power in your blood that in conjunction with the nexus and coming Blue moon caused them to fear something would happen. So, they tried to scare you away." Eclip takes a drink of his ale before continuing, "Apparently there have been repeated sacrifices through out the past by men to stop evil. There was a High Priest McKagen who gave his life for the Tol on the tor in the valley, so that evil will never rise. Then there was a warrior of Boccob who perished for the greater good during the church's centennial birthday. I don't known if this is related to the Cill Dara nexus. We searched the entire house, except for what ever is under the foyer. There was some type of stone door leading off the cellar, but we couldn't open it. The Fey seem to inhabit mostly the conservatory, but they spoke of others else where in the manor."
Eclip takes another drink of ale. "It might be if you stay away from the manor until after the full moon then nothing will happen and the Fey may let you live in peace, but I don't real know for sure."
Eclip finished his story and waits for the others to comment.
Spirit curls up and takes a nap while Eclip talks.
Calor Wednesday January 10th, 2007 3:08:10 PM
The wizard nods along.
"This is good wine," he adds helpfully.
breanna d20+3=18 Wednesday January 10th, 2007 3:23:12 PM
Breanna thinks of anything to add that Eclip might have missed.
int roll to see if breanna can remember anything else int: 18
ooc: if breanna can remember could Loretta be told what it is as she can remember as well
Lenoir Thursday January 11th, 2007 5:49:53 AM
"There's a mug of ale in frount of you! Eclip! I got it for you but if my coins are too dark for you! I'll drink the ale myself!' Lenoir speaks to Doloff, "I put my life on the line to get you this infomation. I hope you are happy for us and pay my Horse's tab in the stable. In fact I'm going to take him for a ride!"
With this said Lenoir get's up takes the full mug of ale and dumps it on the sawdust floor. Thens head for the door.
Eclip and Spirit Thursday January 11th, 2007 9:58:56 AM
Eclip blinks dumb founded by the raw emotion from Lenoir. He looks from his mug to the one Lenoir poured out and realizes he must have insulted the proud fighter, "My deepest apologies, friend Lenoir! I've had a lot on my mind and I still feel in some way that I failed understand what is happing. Go and see to your horse. I sure he is anxious to see you too." Eclip shakes his head wearily and looks to Doloff for reaction to the news the party brought him.
Spirit raises his head at the outburst, and quickly scrambles out of the way when the mug of ale is dumped on the floor.
Gentian Thursday January 11th, 2007 3:14:57 PM
The halfling listens to Eclip's well-told story. He adds a few details ... the fire rats in the ovens, the dumbwaiter to the basement.
He waits to see what the man will say.
Q and uh, what? Thursday January 11th, 2007 3:25:23 PM
Kolpis takes Lenoir off to see the horse.
While Doloff sits in amazement, pondering what was said. "So, what are you saying? I don't know much about fey. Nexus?" He sits back. "My blood?"
Eclip and Spirit Thursday January 11th, 2007 4:48:28 PM
Eclip tries to answer Doloff questions, "Fey are creatures usually with strong connections to nature and supernatural abilities. Sometimes they look something like humans. The ones in the conservatory were very tiny, fast and magical."
Eclip continues "Nexues basically are places where someone can tap into a lot of magical energy. More so than normal, if the conditions are right and they know how. If you were to build a watermill along a river there are places where you can get a lot more power out of the river."
He takes a sip of his Ale before adding the last, "As for your blood? Who knows. You could be related to a powerful spell user. Maybe one of your ancestors was half dragon, element of nature, or even demigod. Stranger things have been known to happen. The Fey seemed to think it was important."
Spirit settles back down on the floor.
Eclip and Spirit Thursday January 11th, 2007 4:53:20 PM
A thought occurs to Eclip, "You said you inherited the mansion. What do you known about your family line?"
Calor Thursday January 11th, 2007 5:23:47 PM
"And you got lots of sweet books in your library. Were they passed down as well?"
Lenoir Friday January 12th, 2007 5:08:20 AM
Lenoir goes to his horse, start to brush him, He talks to the horse "I though I was accepted in this group of adventurers, but it'd the same as all the rest of this wold! The only real friend is you! your the only one that follows me for the human that I am! Not for the risk I'm able to take." Lenoir is slowly calming down, he also give his horse an extre portion of oats.
Doloff d20+3=18 Friday January 12th, 2007 7:33:28 PM
Doloff thinks a few minutes. Then a sudden look of realization flickers in the man's eyes. "Well..." He sits back sipping a glass of water. "... there were wierd stories in our family that some great uncle or someone like that was born with a tail or something. As I understand it I was born with this tan. Could the tan mean something?"
"What your telling me is that the house is built on top of a energy mill?"
"Yes, some of the books were passed on, but when my family got the house, it was still full of alot of the previous owners' stuff. It was sort of an estate sale. Alot of the antiques are mine though."
"Thank you. The library is nice."
Lenoir Saturday January 13th, 2007 7:12:49 AM
Lenoir pat down his horse,"How about a Little galop down in the field?" He saddles his horse then, Gallops in the big field,nearthe cemertary.
When Lenoir fouch his horse's neckandsaw that he was starting to sweat,He went back to the stables. He runb down the horse, putthe horse's Blanket "GoodNight Friend!"
Lenoir entered the Tavern, ordered another ale, Resting for a while "Now If They want me, They will come and get me!"

Lenoir Monday January 15th, 2007 7:24:29 AM
Lenoir is still sitting at the back od the tavern, drinking his ale. "Now if they still want me in the party? I'm ready to Listen!!" He tetts himself.
Eclip and Spirit d20+7=22 d20+11=26 Monday January 15th, 2007 10:04:23 AM
Eclip shrugs, "Could be the tan means something, or it could be just a tan. Eclip thinks though his healing and nature knowledge to see if anything the tan means anything to him (healing DC22, Knowledge Nature DC26).
Continuing to answer questions, "As to the energy mill. If there is such a mill then where your house is would be a good place to build one."
Eclip thoughts wonder to where Lenoir is, probably out riding across the country side, not sitting in some old musty tavern explaining the theories of magic's nature to Doloff.
Spirit naps while the people talk.
Gentian Monday January 15th, 2007 11:39:48 AM
The halfling agrees with Eclip. "The fey have a reason for being so interested in your house," he tells Doloff. "Your bloodline, the location, all add up. The thing I don't understand is what the Elemental Powers have to do with it, and why they are involved. Do you know anything about them?" Gentian asks.
Doloff Monday January 15th, 2007 10:22:10 PM
"No one really knows about the Elemental Lords, except, they tend to use avatars, heralds or even adventurers to their will."
Eclip takes a look at Doloff's skin. Its truly odd. This tan was not made by the sun.
"A natural power mill under my house. This isn't good. Lets talk in my room." He looks around and heads upstairs to retained room. In the room. "So, is it likely anyone else knows about this power center under the manor?"
(OOC: Ceil, I had double ingroinal hernia surgery. Two hernias.)
Eclip and Spirit Tuesday January 16th, 2007 9:41:56 AM
Eclip glances around at Breenna, Genlean and Calor, nods his head "Come on guys." On the way to the room, if Eclip sees Lenoir in the common room he motions for him to join in.
In response to Doloff's question, "The fellow who build the mansion knew about it. The Fey know about it. While it may not be common knowledge, it is reasonable to assume others may know or find out about it."
Spirit gets up and follows at Eclip's side.
breanna Tuesday January 16th, 2007 2:22:43 PM "Anybody who overheard our conversation just now knows." Breanna mentions.
Toothache Tuesday January 16th, 2007 6:18:21 PM
"It is reasable to think that." Replies the dwarf to Breanna's statement. "But most of those who may have heard are locals and may just pass it off as yet another rumor about the area."
"Truth be told, I'd like to get what little we may be paid then be on my way."
Gentian Tuesday January 16th, 2007 7:06:37 PM
"That nails the question right there!" Gentian says in response to Toothache. "I feel that we have not done all we need to do. I feel like we have not really helped Doloff here. But I have no idea what else it is we should be doing!"
"Doloff, are you satisfied? Do you need more help? If so, tell us concretely what that help might be, please."
Lenoir d20+6=19 d20+6=24 Wednesday January 17th, 2007 6:05:41 AM
Lenoir watches the whole room just in case that there are nosy buzy bodies. When Eclip signals for him to follow, he will follow them up stairs and into the room.
Lenoir ask Eclip "Are we going back? My Horse want to know?" All the time he stand by the door, listening for trouble.
Watching 19
Listening 24
Eclip and Spirit Wednesday January 17th, 2007 9:25:00 AM
Eclip waits to see further assistance Doloff may need.
Spirit waits at Eclip's side.
Doloff Wednesday January 17th, 2007 4:00:16 PM
The man smiles. "I know more about the situation now than I did a couple of days ago. I think you all did well considering you are all strangers here. The remaining question I have is what is so important about the house that made the Elemental Lord send you? But many people ask that quest everyday and never recieve an answer. Forearmed is forewarned.
If you like, I can pay those of you who wish it so you can be on your way. If you would like to stay in town, we can set you up with a room here. But I think you have all done admirably. Don't beat yourselves up.
I think it will be fun getting to know the fey who live with me. Can you take me there to meet with them?"
Lenoir Thursday January 18th, 2007 4:33:26 AM
With arms cross on his chest, Lenoir replys "I stay untill you teel me that i'm not needed any more!" Then he goes silent again.
Breanna Thursday January 18th, 2007 5:22:00 AM "Sure, we can do our best to introduce you to them. But I think it would be best if you didnt return home until after the full moon...several days after would be best."
Eclip and Spirit Thursday January 18th, 2007 9:55:26 AM
Eclip pipes up, "I second what Breanna said. I don't think the fey will be receptive until after the full moon."
Spirit sniffs around the floor.
Doloff and Toothache Thursday January 18th, 2007 5:49:44 PM
The man nods in agreement.
The dwarf looks at him. "So, can I keep this bottle of wine for part of my payment?"
"Sure." Says Doloff. The man shuffles around in his pouch and digs out a handful of coin, hands it to the rogue and thanks him.
"Alright folks, its been fun, but I think I'm off. I'll be in the area for the next few days if you need me again. Kolpis will know where and how to find me." The dwarf turns and is off in a flash.
Lenoir Friday January 19th, 2007 6:52:22 AM
Lenoir watches Doloff Run out the door, He tell the rest of the Party,"You Know I think we've been scorch again?? But this time by Doloff??"
Eclip and Spirit Friday January 19th, 2007 9:37:25 AM
Eclip watches the odd dwarf Toothache disappear out the door, he was true to his word about not stealing the wine.
Lenoir's comment seems odd to Eclip, "How so Lenoir? What has Doloff done to offed you?" Eclip glances at Doloff and shrugs.
Then to Doloff, "I don't feel right in taking any payment from you. First we didn't ask for any. Second I don't feel we archived what we where sent to do. Third, the method we use to get here limits what we can take back with us."
Spirit turns around three times before laying down. for what little we found
Eclip and Spirit Friday January 19th, 2007 1:42:59 PM
(OOC: Please ignore the last line in my previous post. it was an editing mistake.)
Gentian Friday January 19th, 2007 4:33:17 PM
The halfling says that no reward is needed. He is glad they could help, and he would be glad to escort Doloff back to the house.
He too wishes that he had a better answer for Doloff, but he gave it his best shot.
[OOC to Jay: Highlight to display spoiler: {Jay, I've enjoyed the module, but I feel I have not done my best posts in quantity or regularity. I've been pretty time-stressed. This might be a good time to exit Gentian. Thoughts?}]
The End or another beginning... Friday January 19th, 2007 7:08:28 PM
The man reassures the group that they did well under the circumstances and not to worry about the Elemental Lords. They are often mysterious.
"Well, for those of you who wish payment, I will start an account at the local money lender for you."
The halfling dog rider quietly leaves and does not return. Highlight to display spoiler: {Well, truth be told, I had a hard time wrangling all you in and I'm afraid I didn't tell my story to the best of my abilities. The module was meant as a prologue of sorts to a main campaign. As I have not heard anything else about stretching it into the mainstream games, I have to assume Jerry killed it as a campaign. Also, I have much to work out in my world and I'm still writing the cultural backstories which I have found difficult. I'm much better flying by the seat of my pants and in fact, I left this module open ended.}
Anyone is paid who wants it. And Doloff bids everyone farewell.
Thanks for playing my silly module. It was meant as a prologue for a long campaign, but it seems Jerry forgot about me. Aw well. However, that said, I enjoyed you all and will be sorting out rewards for all of you. Those PC's who wish to return to the Tol can expect gold and reconition later. The big city awaits. War continues. And the little town of Little Notting is in the middle, whether they know it or not. Thanks for playing Just Because You're Paranoid...
loretta Friday January 19th, 2007 7:30:01 PM
well, I'm ready for another adventure in this world. :) why dont you ask jerry again, even if you cant get it to be permanent they need more tap games and we can play another one in this world.
Ceil Saturday January 20th, 2007 6:30:16 AM
I don't want to go, I want more of this story! Now I'm going to have the bends!!
Oh! If you insist, "Lenoir will ride off into the sunset!"
Eclip and Spirit (Glenn H.) Saturday January 20th, 2007 8:17:06 AM
After introducing Doloff to the Fey, Eclip and Spirit take their leave wishing Doloff well.
[OOC: Thanks for running the Tap. I Thank you did a wonderfully job. I'm sure we as characters were a little dense at times. Your created a great world and story line. Thanks!]
Gentian and Cayzle Saturday January 20th, 2007 1:50:38 PM
Well, there's no problem with running another Tap game in the same world anytime, so far as I know. And then continuing to do so!
Thanks for a fun game, Jay!
