"Well, our idea was not a bad one, but it does appear that we really don't need an outside guard. Let us all enjoy the benefits of the mansion and just be weary when we exit. SO, since we've not had any breakfast yet, let's get cleaned up and have a morning feast!"

After cleaning his face off and waiting for the red to leave his face Michael goes into the manse and cooks breakfast. bacon, eggs, sausage, gravy, Biscuits and flapjacks. with sorgum syrup and fresh butter. a hearty meal for a hard-fought battle.
Cook 20

The party retire to the comfort of the mansion.
Which is sweeter: the healing dished out by Trayvin's channels, or the breakfast buffet prepared by Michael? Only one of them has bacon, so that's probably it.
However you look at it the party are safe to rest and recover. The chances of being disturbed are slim to none.
It is still morning though. Do the party plan to spend another night here or just wait a few hours before venturing out again?

With a little food in his tummy, Sigvar is ready ti head out for the day.
Prudence Gundle [AC 22; HP 95/118] Monday August 3rd, 2020 1:40:54 PM
Pru thanks Trayvin for the healing. "They got me pretty good, though," she says. "I could use a little more."
The breakfast is sublime, and makes Pru very nostalgic. "Do you like these kind of flapjacks better, or buckwheat ones better?" Pru asks Michael with her mouth full. "I could never make up my mind."
All other things being equal, Pru would prefer to rest long enough to get her spell slots back, but all other things are not equal. "We need to find that dragon," she says.
And with that, Pompous goes searching for treasure. He looks very very carefully.....
ooc? Sorry folks, holidays in my home province.

Trayvin spontaneously drops calm emotions and casts cure moderate wounds on Pru. Hp healed = 18

While Anna appreciates Trayvin's healing, she is not going to request anymore as her Tendriculous regeneration will heal her while it lasts. She allows the spell like ability to heal her and run its course before resuming her normal form.
She paces the mansion while Michael makes breakfast and tells him, "You know I can chose to eat or sleep but I normally don't since becoming a plant kin. What is the point of having these abilities if you aren't going to use them?"
Taking stock of her remaining SLAs she says, "I take it that I won't recover the beast shape III or plant shape III I used in our most recent combat today? Well I still have plenty of combat capability without them so I'm good to press on if the rest of us are."

Nikolai enjoys the breakfast and suggests a plan that will keep them busy but also get some rest. "Well said Pompous. Why don't we do two things. Look for their treasure, will require some swimming exercise, and fly around the are some making sure that thing does not come back. We spend a day doing that we get rested up and ready to move on."
Nikolai helps Pompous look for treasure. Swim +10 = 13 Perception +23 = 31
DM RobC - "Do you like these kind of flapjacks better, or buckwheat ones better?" Tuesday August 4th, 2020 4:21:30 AM
Breakfast - to use Prus's words - is sublime. More than enough to fill any belly.
Trayvin patches up a few of Pru's wounds while Anna allows the regeneration of her form patch her up.
The party take stock and believe themselves to still be well equipped enough to handle any dangers the rest of the day may throw their way.
Pompous suggests having a look around to see if the sirens may have left anything useful behind.
The group emerge from the safety of the mansion to enjoy the daylight once again. The corpses of the sirens have now washed ashore and will no doubt prove good pickings for some sea birds.
Pompous doesn't see anything on the shoreline, so Nikolai goes for a swim. It makes sense. Seaweed sirens spend almost all of their time underwater.
A short way out to sea Nikolai does make a find. The sirens had built themselves a nest of some kind. A nest made out of pearls. Anna recalls that seaweed sirens target clam diggers strolling the beaches, lone fisherfolk, and even passing ships. These sirens have been quite prosperous.
OOC: Your DM assumes detect magic is cast, spellcraft checks and appraise checks successfully made....
- Trident of fish command (the sirens probably never figured out how to use it) - 30k worth of pearls (a mixture of white, black, and natural colors) - Five blue pearls worth 5k each (each can also be used as a material component for a Raise Dead spell) - A pearl of the sirines - Two rose colored pearls (each function as 3rd level Pearls of Power) - Two orange pearls (each function as Orange ioun stones) - Two green pearls (each function as Pale Green ioun stones) - An iridescent pearl (functions as an Iridescent ioun stone) - A bronze pearl (functions as a +3 equivalent Eberyon tear: Speed) - A silver pearl (functions as a +4 equivalent Eberyon Tear: Holy, Ghost Touch, Undead Bane) - A gold pearl (functions as a +5 equivalent Eberyon Tear: Holy, Shocking Burst, Dragon Bane)
It takes many laps of going back and forth to retrieve them all, but Nikolai is finally able to place them all in a pile on the sand.
Chances are the sirens had been hunting these 'grounds' for years to accumulate such a haul.
Sigvar Ironhorn (David F) AC 35 (T 13, FF 33) CMD 33 HP 174/174 Character Sheet Tuesday August 4th, 2020 11:33:59 AM
OoC - Two orange pearls (each function as Orange ioun stones) +1 caster level - Two green pearls (each function as Pale Green ioun stones) +1 competence bonus on attack rolls, saves, skill checks, and ability checks - An iridescent pearl (functions as an Iridescent ioun stone) Sustains without air
Are these correct? DM Rob: Yup!
IC Sigvar looks over the pearls and is quite happy. Many of them would make it easier for him to help out the others around him. He particularly like the pearl of the sirens. the green pearl and the gold pearl.
Prudence Gundle [AC 22; HP 113/118] Tuesday August 4th, 2020 2:26:53 PM
"It seems the ladies liked pearls," Pru says. She is somewhat awestruck by the bounty.
"Obviously, one of the orange pearls would be a help to me," she adds.
" The green pearl would match devinely with my outfit! "
Trayvin AC 29/14 touch Hp 161/161(BrianZ) Tuesday August 4th, 2020 8:55:07 PM Quite the haul. I'm just glad the shores in this area will be safe for awhile.

OOC- since there seems to be some immediate interest in using the treasure we just found, I would like to suggest we take the rest of that conversation to email.

to Anna: Michael smiles and offers her a slice of bacon. it's better if we drink from the full tankard of what life has to offer, you never know when it's all going to go away.
To Pru, he thinks for a bit. well I like the tenderness of the wheat ones but the buckwheat ones have a more toothsome flavor. I have a hard time choosing too. .
Michael gets in on the healing.
on the haul. Yeah Sigvar I think you would get a lot of use out of those stones. but I think we need to keep them in common. to a certain degree. one would be really useful if I needed to pick a lock or something, and the gold one, well that would be just dandy when we have to fight the dragon,. so let who want to hold one hold one, but let us also share and share alike when we need them.
Anna Morphling (Hugh C) -- HP 113/113+30 (30 temp hp) -- 34/15/31 CMD 36 Wednesday August 5th, 2020 12:53:30 AM
Anna says to Michael , "True and not that there is any danger here." taking a piece of bacon afterall, "but if we find ourselves in a foreign place where there is a risk someone might try to poison our food, that is one less thing I do not have to worry about."
Anna asks, "Do orange ioun stones work for boosting SLAs or just spells?"
She observes, "Considering we are most likely about to fight a dragon, I would hazard either Nikolai, Pru, Sigvar or myself should wear that gold pearl. Pru should only wear it if she is planning to fight as an elemental. I have 2 tears already, one of which gives me a bonus against evil and the other gives me a bonus against dragons but if I turn into a dragon myself I could wear 6 tears if I wanted to."

Nikolai finally takes a rest. His muscles ache but it was well worth it. "Boy, with that trident, we could have a fish fry every day!" he quips, although he suspects that's not the proper use of the trident.
He watches as everyone gets a good look at the pearls and the mages ascertain their value and properties. Meanwhile he uses some Ki points to finish healing up. 2 ki pts heals 10 hps of damage.
DM RobC - "WHOOT WHOOT WE IN THE MOOOOOOONEY!!!!!" Wednesday August 5th, 2020 4:32:38 AM
The party take a careful look over their prizes. Some pearls stand out as immediately useful. The orange and green ones seem popular.
Trayvin takes the noble view that the shores are now safe for others, as Nikolai considers charming sea creatures on to a frying pan. Probably in jest.
It is safe for now to relax and take stock of the spoils. Wedding City is only a few hours down the road and there isn't a dragon in sight.
By all accounts it's going to be a pleasant day.
-------------- OOC: Great posting the past couple of weeks, team. Let's go for that elusive perfect week!
Prudence Gundle [AC 22; HP 113/118] Wednesday August 5th, 2020 2:33:33 PM
"We should go," Pru says. "The dragon has Knight-Captain Palance, and we don't know what it's doing to her. If nobody has any objection, I'll use this orange pearl until the dragon is defeated. I think the gold pearl would be wasted on me; somebody else should have it."
[OOC: I believe SLAs are usually tied to character level, rather than caster level, though there may be exceptions.]
Trayvin AC 29/14 touch Hp 161/161(BrianZ) Wednesday August 5th, 2020 9:01:19 PM Pru makes a good point, we need to keep moving and not get sidetracked.

Anna says, "right we need to move along."
She then takes her traveling form as a Queen's Minions Quick moving Deinonychus with longstride activated with the 60 foot move speed.

Michael sticks a +3 tear of speed to his forehead. that aught to help him a lot.
Nikolai, you and Anna are the only two who use Unarmed attacks. one of you should take the gold tear and the other the Silver Tear. .
Michael is ready to go.

"Good idea Michael. Considering my expertise against the undead, i'll take the silver pearl."
Outside, Nikolai takes a long sniff of the salty air, then points towards Wedding City, "Chocolate! Here we come!"
