The Blight Witches: Turn 1
Monday November 10th, 1997 4:00:40 AM
Gareth bows stands, bows low and says to Helo as she leaves "Thank you, I look forward to our next meeting." To the group he says "Lets go back to the inn and plan a strategy. I suspect it won't be real easy to pull this off." He impatiently waits for the others to put on their clothes and then heads back to the Giggling Ghost.

Talvik will leave being escorted by Nonam and Jus. "Good bye to you lovely ladies!" He says looking over his shoulder. Then he turns to the party and chuckles. " They liked me, I can tell." Tal will add picking up his gate to walk with the others. "I agree with Onrad. I think tonight would be an excellent time to 'visit' these witches." He will say nodding in acceptance.

Onrad says nothing until the group arrives at the Giggling Ghost.

When the party enters, Daphne is nowhere to be seen.

Happy enjoins the party to take a table and he'll bring supper.

Onrad speaks, "I agree with Talvik. We can do a reconnaissance of their residence and see what we can discover about their habits. We could also give our thieves a chance to make contact with the thieves guilds. That's a source of information we cannot dare to ignore."

"I agree, Talvik says. After dinner though, I'd like to go to the merchant level, and find out some information about these witches through the guild. I'd rather contact the guild first and learn what we can before scouting the premises." Tal will say to the group. "Maybe they can provide me with a layout of the place." he will add.

Nonam says, "I'd definitely like to memorize some different spells before hitting the Witches or doing a reconnaissance. What I have though is more suited to a spy mission than an assault so I won't disagree.

Tony says: No problem.....Ha Ha Ha...a little cold water now and then is good for you...LOL.

Jerry says: I didn't receive turns from Keith or John.

Jerry says: I'm working on experience for the time starting with the turtle barge up until now. I'm thinking that I may start doing weekly experience when I get caught up. There's 80 pages to read between then and now.

Jerry says: Any thoughts on weekly experience?

Jerry says: If anyone is interested in receiving files of the Floating City so far, or of the first adventure, just ask. I have it all.

See yall tomorrow.

Gareth asks "Where's Daphne? I miss her company."

Jus asks Happy where if Daphne is okay and where she is.

Talvik will take up a seat with the group. "Where's Daphne?" He will ask looking around?

Happy says, "Geez she has a life of her own you know. Now me on the other hand. I'm always here."

Finally, Tal will try to get someone's attention to order dinner.

While eating, Talvik will turn to Theory, "Lad, what's the shortest route to the merchant level?" Theory says, "Try the stairs that have the big sign 'This way to the Merchant Level' I'm sure you remember how to get to them. Are you sure that the guild that you're looking for is there? Somehow I doubt it. Personally I'd go to the Trash Level."

Tiburon slowly eats his food and says to the group " So far we have been exceptionally lucky, if we want to stay that way I think we need to plan very carefully and try to think of as many contingencies as possible. I know we want to do this without alerting the Witches, but what will we do if the catch us in the act ? I, myself will start by casting a silence 15' radius at them then try to use Hold Person on them. Does anyone have any problem with that or better Idea ? What is everyone else proposing to do ? "

Nonam says, "I plan on going to sleep. Seriously, if the Blight Witches catch us, I say we just catch their house on fire and run. That's usually worked for me in the past."

Tiburon listens to everyone and when the discussion is finished says " I need to go prepare myself now. I will see everyone here in the inn before we go. Good night. "

Tiburon starts to go upstairs.

Flaust excuses herself for the evening and retires to her room. Gareth also encourages "I think you guys have a great idea on the information thing. I'll rest until you get back." With that Gareth gets up and heads to bed.

Nonam gets up and heads to bed too.

Onrad says, "Hey wait everyone!" Everyone stops and looks at Onrad, and he continues "There's no way one of us by himself should go out at night. Yeah that's a great way to get us killed. Simple divide and conquer. We're an adventuring GROUP. We do things together! I say we all go. We could all use some work on our stealth if we're going to be adventuring in cities much. Talvik can instruct us. Our strength is in being together!"

Onrad continues: "I hated it when we were separated this afternoon. I just knew something bad was going to happen. I say, never again. That was the mistake the Black Blades made. They were separated. We were together. We won...."

Onrad stops mid-sentence. "Geez, I'm lecturing aren't I? Sorry. I just feel strongly about this."

Nonam says, "Look I'm tired. I don't want to go to a thieves guild. Plus from what I've heard there's more than one in this town, and they all hate each other. What if we get the one the Black Blades' thief belongs to. Won't that cause some trouble. Do you think that they'd would let us all in?"

Jus says, "Tal, I'm surprised at you and Onrad. I thought talking of the guild so openly was considered bad etiquette. As for preparation, I'll be glad to take a watch for Nonam to prepare, and any others that need it."

To Nonam, Jus openly asks, "Helo mentioned you went around the house of our marks. You seemed a bit uncomfortable about this -- as I'm sure most of us noticed. What happened? Everything okay?"

Nonam says, "Yeah I went and looked at the Blight Witches place. It seemed the best way to get information to me, but I didn't want to argue about it. They live in a regular looking house. Gareth could knock down the front door if Talvik couldn't pick the lock. I only saw one of the Blight Witches. She looked like a feeble old lady. It's hard to tell about magic users though. Oh yeah, I also went in and took this." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a glowing ring. Onrad drops his mug on the floor and gasps, and then Nonam says, "Just teasing. This is my own ring. Not even magic. Just me touching it makes it glow. You know. Seriously though, let me show all of you what the place looked like. I doubt this will help much, but this should be extremely accurate... except for the size of course."

Nonam begins to cast a spell. A miniature version of the Blight Witches' house appears and floats in the middle of the room.

As it floats there, Nonam asks, "Are we going to the thieves' guild or not? Let's vote."

David has a new e-mail address.

Jerry reminds everyone: We can't split up anymore. though that may cause some problems, it will cause fewer than sending out separate e-mails to all the different groups. So we either all have to go out and look for the thieves' guild or we all have to not.

JK says: John's back from his secret mission.

The Blight Witches: Turn 3
Friday November 14th, 1997 4:00:40 AM
Onrad sits back ordering a drink and some stew while waiting to see what everyone else thinks.

"Onrad, I think I'll join in the lecturing", Jus begins. "We are a group, at least we try to be. I agree we should all be together. However, I think time is slipping faster than a loose knot on a mainstay. We've already had several people identify us from things they have heard -- that happened just a short time before! The friend we were with earlier wanted privacy to talk about everything, yet here we are saying the names of the people we want to meet AND the items of interest. How long until they hear we're coming and prepare a welcome for us? I do NOT want to tell anymore people what we're doing until its already done! Especially a group that could make money off of this! I say let the mages have their time -- as little as possible -- and then lets get going. And even that concession is just because I understand that WE-ARE-A-TEAM, and as the BEST team in our class everyone needs to be prepared to use their abilities to the fullest; so we can rely on each other, work together, and succeed."

Flaust says, "It will only take a couple of hours for me to request a my spells that we might find useful. We'd be better off delaying any action until the wee hours of the morning, when our 'friends' are most likely asleep. I don't care for the thought of hurting these people or burning their place down. We need to get in, take the item, and leave, if we don't want the eternal enmity of these people. I imagine anything of importance will be strongly protected by magic, and it's that we need to focus on overcoming. Being labeled a witch doesn't necessarily mean you deserve mistreatment."

Flaust says, "I like the idea of using a silence spell. I also agree that we need to stick together. We should stay away from the 'guild' for now."

Gareth says "Does anybody have an idea on how we could find the exact location of the ring in the house? I'm not good at quiet so I doubt stealth would work real well for me. Maybe we could find out a time when all or some of them are gone. That would be easier. If you want me to go with you to the guild I'll go."

Onrad says, "We could go the careful route and set up a 24hr watch on the place to determine their habits, but to me that seems a bit wimpy. It's almost like trying to see how we can best avoid any risk or adventure."

Tiburon says, " I vote to visit the Guild. " Then he turns to Talvik and says " I'll go into the Guild with you if you would like."

Onrad says, "Hmm let's see, Flaust votes against the guild. It sounds like Jus doesn't want to go though he didn't specifically say that. From what Nonam said a few minutes ago, I don't think that he wants to go to the guild."

Nonam agrees.

Onrad continues, "Gareth agreed that he would go to the guild, and Tiburon wants to go to the guild. Talvik of course wants to go to the guild. That leaves us three to three and me to break the tie. In light of everything that's been said, I think that we should wait on going to the guild. I still think we should go, but I think that Jus is right. Too many people know about this venture already. I suggest that we check the place out as a group and then hit the place with a solid plan in place."

Disgruntled Nonam says, "Well here's what their house looks like." He gestures to the image spinning in the middle of the room.

John has yet another e-mail address for you to add to your list.

The Blight Witches: Turn 4
Monday November 17th, 1997 4:00:40 AM
Talvik will order another drink and address the party." Perhaps Jus is right. It might be a mistake to ask more people about our intentions. Surely word will reach the witches of our plans and I imagine this is something that we don't really want." He says tracing the lines of the table with his fingers.

"Besides, no offense to the group, but I don't think a guild is the kind of place that we should go to as a group. I don't think they would take kindly to alot of armored people hanging about their 'lair'. This in turn would bring some unwelcome results I believe. We have enough information to carry out our goal. I agree with Flaust, let's let the casters regain some spells, and pay the witches a visit in the early hours of the morning.

Tiburon looks around at the group and says " O.K. , It might not be a good idea to spread the word around what we are doing. But remember , Helo said the Blades left for probably 2 weeks , that gives us a pretty sizable window of opportunity to plan and execute a strike against these Witches. We can do it quick or take our time and then either look for more adventure or wait to see what turns up. I don't think the Blades will bother us for the moment , I say let's do this now and make plans to handle the Blades IF they bother us later."

Jus says, "So we're agreed. Check out the witches place in the early morning after the spell casters have rested and skip the thieves guild thing for now."

Flaust studies the image of the house, noting the various exits.

"Interesting, Nonam. Interesting." Flaust studies Nonam's face carefully. "I'm going to bed. I'll see you and your plan at 4am."

Tiburon echoes Flausts words with a nod and follows him upstairs to bed. ______________________________________________________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |____________D___________|_______________| | | | | | | | | | D D | | | | | | ____________|____________D___________|_______________|

"Now, let's see what we have here." Tal says scooting closer to the image of the house that Nonam has made. "So, let's pass on the guild.....agreed?" He says raising a fine eyebrow at the group.

"Hey!" Onrad says, "Nonam.....dear Nonam......#said in a sing-song voice# .....How, dear Nonam, did you know that there are four rooms and three interior doors and their location? Hmm? Are there some things about your little outing you're holding out on us?"

Nonam turns red, flusters, and says, "Well, I think that some people have alot to learn about trust! Copy this down so I can go to bed."

After Talvik sketches it with chalk on a table, Nonam turns towards the stairs.

"If you must know, I caught a glimpse of the first inner room while walking past the open door. No I didn't go inside. No I didn't knock on the door while invisible. No I didn't do that either.....whatever else you are thinking I did that I didn't do!"

Nonam stomps up the stairs.

Onrad looks to Gareth and says, "I'm going to watch the hallway upstairs to see that the casters are not disturbed. Would you relieve me in about 4 hours? You guys could possibly use some shut eye too after formulating our perfect plan. If'n you need my opinion on something just come get me."

Jerry says: I deleted John's or David's turn by accident. I don't know which one. I hit a button by accident and Poof! It was gone. Sorry. I ran the turn the best I could under the circumstances. Sorry again guys.

Jerry says: I'm rethinking the stay together rule. Under certain circumstances, I'm thinking it would be ok for someone like thief to go out and do something by themselves if it is "necessary." It would need to happen between turns so as to not cause anyone else to have to wait on them. I still will not allow multiple turns per day, though.

We can handle the Talvik need to go to the guild, by Talvik and I setting up a time to meet on the phone or online in a private room and just do the thing in one sitting. Of course, David and John couldn't do this. I suppose David could on the phone.

So Tony, how and when do you want to do this? Let's have it happen before the others wake up.....assuming that you would want to.

See ya'll tomorrow.

The Blight Witches: Turn 5
Tuesday November 18th, 1997 4:00:40 AM
Jus just waits for the others, sleeping if he feels the need and guarding otherwise until all are ready to check out Witches' place.

Gareth agrees to relieve Onrad in 4 hours and goes to bed.

Nonam will memorize the spells I listed the other day, and then he'll hang out with the group and do whatever they want about the blight witches.

After spells are memorized, Flaust steps outside and picks up a fist-sized stone from the street. Going back to her room, she casts Weighty Chest on it and pockets it for future use.

"Pretty simple layout", says Jus. "As far as how to get in, I'll leave that to those that are more inclined to that skill. Maybe the others of us should go along in-case help is needed, but allow the silent types the chance to search for the item."

Onrad guards the mages sleep for four hours and then wakes Gareth to take his place.

It is now 4:00 am and the party meets in their room to go over THE plan.

The mages and priests begin their chanting and memorizing towards the middle of the night causing Gareth to growl at several of the nearby patrons who open their doors to see what was going on.

At 4 bells, the party makes its way downstairs to the tavern where they are greeted with a smile and some coffee by Talvik of the Red Eyes. Plans and multitudes of maps lie everywhere on the table.

Talvik says, "Gather round friends and let me show you what I've got."

I'm I guess what you'd call rested and nearly well. So we'll pick up where we left off.

Thanks for your patience.

The next turn is due tomorrow, Monday, by 7pm CST.

FYI, I have recruited two more DM's who will be joining us with the New Year: Keith and John. John, in my humble opinion, has a unique understanding of the game and our campaign world which will aid in the communication necessary to operate a multi-DM game. Keith, a member of my local group, has been a part of the Woldian campaign from it's first inception in Lubbock, and is one of the few people in this world that I would label a Master Gamer. This gives us four DM's. The current plan is for us to partner up and alternate months beginning in January. This should spread the "work" of DMing this campaign around enough that no one gets burned out.

John, you have my go ahead to set up the email forwarding site as we discussed. Once John has this up and running, and assuming it works well, we will all send out turns to this web address and it will forward the mail to the DM for the evening.

This will be necessary for John to DM as he will not have access to AOL and my account as could be arranged for JK and Keith.

John, seems like you told me to remove one of those addresses. Remind me of which one and I'll delete it.

Flaust comes over to see what Talvik has planned.

Gareth asks Tavlik "What do you have so far? We'd better not dally, we only have a couple of hours before daylight." He looks at the maps and things trying to make heads or tails of it.

Jus listens attentively so as not to miss Talvik's ideas

Nonam looks at what Talvik has found. Then he says, "Wow this is great."

Onrad says, "What is great about it? All I see is a bunch of scribbling and these little hearts drawn everywhere.

Nonam says, "Look, Talvik's fallen asleep. Some thief. I guess we make our own plans."

Tiburon says " I say we go now ,in the early morning, while they are probably asleep and do our best. "

Flaust volunteers to be one of the people to enter the house.

"I agree Onrad says. Perhaps we can decide on something once we are there."

Flaust prepares to follow the group to the house holding open the door and saying, "Well, I think I like this plan."

Jus grins.

David says: Good to have you back! The land of the living is a better place to be. Had a good Thanksgiving? We did.

Jerry says: Yes I did. We went to Cousin Gaylon's house on Possum Kingdom Lake. Lots of fun and he has pet pigs too!

John says: Remove the old address. If you don't have that in your address list, you may have two of the same one, so remove one of them.

Jerry says: Gotcha.

BTW: Due to the Christmas holiday, my new computer will not arrive for 4-6 weeks from order. That places my ability to start the co-DM in early to mid January.

Jerry says: No problem, we'll just let Keith take the first month. BTW, Keith and John, any preference as to with whom you team up? You can choose between JK and me. Don't worry. You won't hurt our feelings much.

John continues: I would love to hear any suggestions for companies to use/avoid, and components to get/avoid. If you have a suggestion, place it soon... I do plan to order imminently. One thing to remember, all my time on the phone to the US, including toll-free, costs me an additional 7 cents a minute. So if some company gives great service, but you have to wait to talk with someone... that service won't be so great to me.

In regards to the e-mail. Down to two sites that are promising. One is very fast, but requires users to log into the Internet site to get the e-mail. The other is slower if you log into the Internet site, but allows the mail to be automatically forwarded to other e-mail addresses.

The second would allow everyone to use whatever service provider and e-mail program they are used to, where the first would be accessed through whatever service provider and Internet browser they are used to.

The only notable drawback with the second e-mail service is that there is a delay between the time the service receives the e-mail and the time at which it forwards the e-mail. Don't have specifics, but any working on it. It seems about an hour is the longest delay I've seen, possibly related to the size of the e-mail.

Jerry says: Delay's shouldn't be a problem. I think we're dealing with one now anyway. Just as long as we can get the turns within an hour or so to run the turn at a reasonable time and we don't lose any mail.

Jerry says: Didn't get a turn from Tony.

JK gets the next two turns. Go get 'em JK.

"I have to admit," Jus says, shaking his head in wonder, "I expected a little more of a plan than this...." Merrily laughing, Jus continues, "But I have to say this will be a lot more fun than I expected! Let's at least have someone open the door quietly, rather than let Gareth brute his way in. If we are to die, it would be nice if we at least got through the doorway."

Gareth says "Let's go. I'll be glad to go in but I'm kind of conspicuous. It might be better if I stay outside and be prepared to enter if things go bad.

Flaust asks, "Did we ever decide if a Silence spell was in the plan?"

"Great idea," Onrad muses. "I suppose there's only one way to see if it works. Let's go!"

Nonam says, "No. At least don't cast it on me. I don't want to have my casting ability interfered with."

Tiburon wakes Talvik and says to him , "Come on, we're going to the house now."

Tiburon follows along with the rest of the group and says " Would you like to have me cast a Find Traps when we get there ?"

Onrad says, "No. Talvik should be able to take care of it."

Nonam says, "Yes. It couldn't hurt."

Talvik stirs, "Um, right. I'm with you." He will say and follow behind the cleric. He stretches and works out the stiffness in his muscles to be alert and ready.

Onrad says, "Well then, did a plan come to you while you were....... uh........ meditating?"

The group heads out the door.

Nonam says, "Are we still going to burn the place down?"

Onrad says, "NO!!!"

Onrad sings as they leave... ##We're off to see the witches, the wonderful witches of blight.## ##because, because, because, because, because, because, because##

"Oh, right....stealthy. Sorry."

After a long walk to the Blight Witches' place in the dark of the early morning the group is ready to go into action.

The house looks like most of the others on the street. It's a small one story house that looks like it might have an attic loft. No lights are visible in the windows. It appears that it's either empty or that the Blight Witches are sensible folk who sleep until the sun comes up. ----------------------- So who tries the door? spells?

Onrad whispers, "Wow, it looks absolutely normal."

Gareth attempts to find a tree or something to stand near or around to establish a post from which he'll keep an eye on things (Since it seems nobody has an opinion on what he should do). He ends up standing by a pillar in front of the house across the street.

Flaust whispers, "Can anyone detect if any magical alarms are placed on the door?"

Tiburon says, "I can."

Tiburon casts Find Traps and examines the door.

Tib says, "There are no traps on the door. I'll follow whoever into the house and point out any traps. Let's go while the spell is still in effect . "

Flaust whispers, "How about casting a Silence on an item to carry in? That way, the spell casters can choose to leave the area of silence as needed."

Jus whispers to Nonam, "Is it just me, or are we doing this slightly off the cuff?"

Nonam says, "Isn't that what you always wanted?"

"Was there a back door?" Jus whispers again to Nonam. He also suggests that a silence spell on the door may be worthwhile; it may have something as simple as a bell tied inside. "Many of the shops seem to do it."

Nonam says, "That would probably be a good idea."

Onrad whispers, "Um, the silence spells would be good now."

Onrad whispers, "Gareth, our strength is in numbers. I say we stay together. How about putting the silence spell on you?. I've got my leathers on. And that metal armor certainly is noisy."

Nonam says, "Flaust it's up to you. Cast it on the door, an object, or Gareth (if he's willing). What kind of range does the spell have? You know, so I can get out of range quickly."

Jus waits impatiently for Talvik or Tiburion to do their things and open the appropriate door.

Flaust pulls the enchanted rock from her pocket, preparing to play 'Catch'.

Onrad motions to Talvik. "Talvik, if you would open the door please."

Onrad muses, "Gee, I feel so evil."

The Blight Witches: Turn 10
Monday December 1st, 1997 4:00:40 AM
Whispering, Jus says to no one in particular, "I'm sure no one will notice a small group of people meandering outdoors, before daylight, trying to open a door, and casting spells." To Talvlik he says, "Let's get to it, I'm getting bored." With a wink to Gareth he finally adds, "Any more boredom and I'll have to help things along."

Onrad grins and looks both ways down the street and prepares to enter. "Cast the spell," he whispers.

Talvik will smile and pull out the appropriate picks for the kind of lock which is before him. If the winds of fate are with him, he will pick the lock. If successful, he will push open the door, and slide into the side. Getting out of the way of the rest of the group......After a quick scan of the room he will look for shadows to conceal himself into...a coat rack with 3 black robes on it.

When Talvik opens the door and moves in, Tiburon will follow, scan the room for traps and move out of the way for others to enter. He points out any traps he finds to everyone.

Gareth agrees to having the spell placed on him, notices that no one casts it, takes his place at the front of the party, and steps through the door and into the center of the first room. "Crunch, squeek, crunch." He looks around to see what he can. He proceeds motions to the others - specifically Nonam - to point to the most likely place to search.

All, except Gareth, is silent. All is well.

Flaust, pondering to herself that no one cast the silence spell thinks, 'I don't need bells to tell me this is trouble,' and mutters to herself, 'I don't like the feel of this...'

(ooh, wow! We can hear Flaust's thoughts! I wonder if that is a spell, ability, or just one of those strange things that happen when the DM is in an easy mood.)

Flaust, not having a Silence spell to cast, scrugs her shoulders at Nonan and proceeds to her doom.

Nonam points at the right door then at the other two in order. He then takes up a position in the back right corner of the room.

Flaust holds the stone and notices that it has not become silent.

Flaust then walks over to the door on the left and places the stone at a critical door, in an attempt to block it.

All is silent. Gareth's armor creaks as he breathes. All is well.

(I love you David.)

Onrad, moves to the right door and positions himself beside it. He then motions to Keith to examine the door. He also motions to Talvik to close the entrance door nearly all the way.

All is silent. All is well. (except Gareth who squeaks)

Introduction from the Jericho: Stealing from witches is an intriguing idea. Especially when witches can are known as being evil and are usually connected with a demon-like power--most of the time. I got the kernal of the idea for this scenario from The Wonders of Lankhmar Accessory. All I have to do is peruse this product and I overflow with ideas for city plots and scenarios. I also liked the idea of the cage. I just had to see if the party would get themselves caught in it.

Nonam looks around the entry room and sees...a basic living room. There are pots and pans in a small kitchen set into the back left corner. Several divans and sofas of nice quality adorn the room. Portraits of three beautiful ladies, evidently sisters, adorn the wall above the fireplace on the left wall. Of course there are the three doors, one on each wall: left, right, and rear.

Flaust is watching to see what is behind Door #1 on the right.

Gareth glares at Nonam and freezes. He breathes lightly. If he can't be quiet he slowly and as quietly as possible backs up to the front door and steps outside. If breathing lightly does the trick he will just freeze and wait for the group to find the ring or for anything unexpected that will probably happen given DM's affinity for precursors.

Tiburon , noticing that Gareth is squeaking alot, cast Silence 15' radius upon him. He then proceeds to examine the doors, floor in front of the doors, and the general area for traps. Tib will back out of the 15' radius around Gareth and whisper to the others anything he sees that is strange. " Nonam, the silence only has a 15' radius."

Onrad remains poised next to the right hand door and again gives Talvik a questioning look as to which to open first. He follows this with a hurry up motion.

Watching everyone, Jus desperately tries to conceal a laugh. Luckily, his wits prevail and he just shakes his head instead. Looking at Gareth, Jus makes exaggerated hand motions and mouths to Gareth "Be quiet", followed by a smile to show his sarcasm.

Jus takes a quick look around the room to see if has any mage-type components or mixing apparatus (where the spoon would most likely be kept). If he sees nothing of such, he motions to the others for everyone -- except Gareth (and he almost begins to laugh again, when he looks at Gareth) -- to start into the next room.

Flaust waits for Gareth to come over and provide silence on the right door.

Gareth looks around the fireplace for anything looking like a ring. If nothing he moves into the kitchen to look for the ring. He observes the floor looking for trap doors or a possible entry to an underground room (For instance, under a rug).

Gareth finds no rings in the kitchen. Neither does he find any trap doors under the many rugs on the floor.

Onrad growing impatient, opens the door to the right and steps through. He begins exploring in there.

Didn't receive turns from Keith, Tony, John, or JK. I'm assuming that they didn't send turns in. If you did and it didn't get forwarded from the new address send me and John an email directly to let us know.

Remember the new address to send turns to is active.

See yall tomorrow. JK gets the next two turns.

Onrad does a quick search of the right room for anything that looks like either a spoon or a ring. He then checks for other exits. Satisfied as to those two things, he sets about searching the room quietly but thoroughly.

Flaust follows Onrad into the next room, paying more attention to the sounds in the house, and not really looking for the ring.

Gareth moves over with Flaust and Onrad and begins looking in that room.

Tiburon moves into the right room after Onrad. He first looks around for any traps then begins looking for any rings.

Jus tries to stay just inside of the silence spell, preparing for any unexpected encounters. He continues to look around for any mixing apparatus or tables.

Jus advances with the others into the next room. He tries to keep on the outer fringes of the silence spell, expecting the need to fight soon.

From the shadows Talvik will whisper, "Nonam, do you have a spell to locate the ring? Or maybe to lead us into the right direction?" He will move across the room by the others waiting for an answer.

No whispers, "No," and follows the group into the room.

The room is empty save for a large golden cage in the center of the room. Inside the cage is a ring. It fits the description of the ring that you're looking for. There are no windows. The walls are a pale gray stone. Tiburon does not detect any traps.

Nonam, standing just outside the silence spell, whispers, "This is too easy." Talvik hears him, but everyone else just see his lips move.

After he says it, the ring begins to spin all on its own.

Onrad, not knowing exactly what Nonam did, shoots him a strong look and motions for him/her to be quiet/careful.

Tiburon still does not detect a trap.
