Reach Chaney Manor 5pm, St Cecilia's Abbey ca 7pm
Erasmus:"Of course, Father Prior."
Simon N. (GM):He ushers in Syrus & Jyrdani, who looks around with interest at the cool colunned interior of the church of St Sollars.
Erasmus:"Ah! Syrus, Jyrdani! A pleasure to see you again. Father Prior, these are the companions I mentioned."
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus bows
Erasmus:Erasms goes and greets his friends
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin is a lean, well muscled man in late middle age, built more like a warrior than a contemplative priest.
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus whispers to Jyrdani "M'Lady you may be exposing too much skin in this church" winks
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin smiles. "Syrus - Jyrdani - the Peace of St Sollats and Ilmater be with you."
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus puts his hand on his chest and bows to Priest
Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani rolls her eyes at Syrus. "Well that's his problem!" In truth Mordrin does not seem bothered by her outfit, though the Friar who ushered her in is looking a bit hot under the collar.
Erasmus:"You'll excuse me - I was in the middle of an interesting passge..."
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin: "Brother Erasus is getting to be our resident expert on the Toad cult!" he smiles.
Erasmus:"Humbly, I only know what I am gleaning from your tomes and our discussions, Father."
Simon N. (GM):"Your timing is excellent, friends. I was just about to discuss a certain matter with Erasmus. All of you, please come with me..." he ushers you towards his study.
Erasmus:"Lead on."
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin opens the door and leads you inside, pouring wine from the cabinet.
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus is "casing the joint" in case there is anything valuable in sight
Simon N. (GM):Erasmus notices an entire bookcase of tomes he's not been privy to yet... several seem to be chained to the case & locked.
Erasmus:Internally "Hmm... I wonder what knowledge is locked away in those."
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin sits.
Erasmus:Erasmus takes a seat
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus thinks "Ohhhhh books locked up" could be worth $$$$
Erasmus:"What is on your mind, Father?"
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin: "Brother Erasmus, I expect in your resarch you've come across reference to the Liber Damnatis..."
Erasmus:"I have come across various citations, though not the volume itself"
Simon N. (GM):Morrdrin sighs. "Indeed. Well, there was until recently a copy here.. in the restricted collection." he indicates an empty spot on the book case.
Erasmus:"I don't believe the name of the author was mentioned at all, though."
Kenny - Syrus:"Maybe the cultists stole it to try to summon the Big Frog!!"
Simon N. (GM):"Indeed... Well, not long ago, one of my senior Friars, Brother Odric, seemed to develop an unhealthy obsession with certain parts of the text - parts pertaining to Tsathoggua the Devourer. I had to prohibit him from consulting it. The book disappeared the same day he did."
Erasmus:"Interesting. And when was this?"
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin steeples his hands on the table. "Just over a month ago. The text, I believe, contains information that would enable devotees of toad god to restore its Shrine and thus channel blood energy to their Master - in return for whatever boons the demon may provide."
Erasmus:"We shall not speak of this outside this room, other than to glean information that will help us locate Brother Odrin. We will, of course, be discrete."
Kenny - Syrus:"Father Mordin, can you share details on what Odric looks like, and if he has any weaknesses that he cannot resist other than giant frogs (ie cookies, ice-cream)?"
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin nods gratefully to Erasmus. "Then you shall have my sincerest thanks, and such Aid as I can provide." He looks to Syrus.
Erasmus:"The imp was being attended to by a goblin horde. The cultists we encountered on the road were humanoid. Do you really think these could be related?"
Simon N. (GM):"Odric is a man of middle years, a little younger than myself, balding, a little over medium height. Recently he had become pale and gaunt, eating and sleeping little, his eyes red-rimmed."
Kenny - Syrus:whispers to Jyrdami "Sounds like Odric is developing lazy eyes like the Giant Frog itself - I wonder if all its followers had lazy eyes"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"You want us to kill this Odric?"
Erasmus:"So the imp could have simply been an opportunist, piggy-backing off another ritual?"
Simon N. (GM):To Erasmus: "Yes." To Jyrdani: "If I am right, he must be stopped - one way or another."
Erasmus:"Hmm. I fear we will be facing more than our fair share of imps, demons and fiends if this is the case."
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin sips his wine. "By the way, a Paladin of the Golden Cup arrived last night, on her way to St Cecilia's Abbey with the nun she's escorting. It's possible she may be willing to aid you."
Erasmus:"We will search for Brother Odric, we will do what we must to stop him and this cult, and we will banish as many demons as we can along the way."
Simon N. (GM):GM: The Golden Cup is an order of LG Paladins dedicated to defending the innocent, revering St Sollars.
Erasmus:"The assistance of one so divinely-touched as a paladin would certainly be welcomed."
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin nods. "If you are heading into Darkwood, I can call upon St Sollars' Aid to empower you - but the invocation lasts for only eight hours, so you must be swift."
Kenny - Syrus:"I am sure Jyrdani here already has itchy feet to get going and slaughter more imps.."
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:grins "Yep!"
Erasmus:"Thank you, Father. May we stay in this study to discuss for a few minutes?"
Kenny - Syrus:"Oh, and where is this lady paladin?"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Mordrin stands. "Of course, Brother Erasmus. Again, may I express my deepest gratitude for your aid - and your discretion." He looks to Syrus. "That door leads to the guest quarters."
Erasmus:"Thank you."
Simon N. (GM):"Now, please excuse me. We'll talk again soon."
Kenny - Syrus:@Erasmus "we forgot to discuss dough!!"
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin opens the north door and heads into the church.
Erasmus:As soon as Prior Mordrin leaves, Erasmus is ALL OVER the bookcase
Kenny - Syrus:whispers to Jyrdani "once a nerd, always a nerd"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Jyrdani: "Demons? Priests? Sounds a bit like a suicide mission... but plenty of loot." She grins.
Kenny - Syrus:@Jyrdani "wanna come join to checkout this Paladin lady"?
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Erasmus reviews the tomes - diabolism, deviltry, druidism...
Simon N. (GM):And that's just the Ds.
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus knocks on the door
Erasmus:OOC Is there anything else that may be of use hidden in these tomes?
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Paladin lady? Okay..."
Simon N. (GM):Erasmus you can roll Investigation
Erasmus Bos:

Kenny - Syrus:Is there money hidden in the pages???
Simon N. (GM):There's a well thumbed text on the demonic rituals of Ancient Narfell and the Raumathari counter-spells.
Kenny - Syrus::))))
Erasmus:OOC You don't know what I've found... ;)
Kenny - Syrus:to Erasmus' beat-boxing perhaps?
Simon N. (GM):The tome is locked, but on a 23 you find the little key in a crevice behind the book case :)
Erasmus:OOC Would Erasmus know whether the tome would be needed, or would a transcription suffice?
Kenny - Syrus:Erasmus will OF COURSE try the key in every lock he sees ;)
Simon N. (GM):OOC it's very complex so a transcription would take a week or two or likely too sloppy to work.
Erasmus:OK.

Simon N. (GM):GM: The key seems to only unlock this book from the wall chain.
Erasmus:"Syrus, I may need you to do some sweet talking for me."
Kenny - Syrus:@Erasmus "What for? Want me to help chatting up Jyrdani for you?" winks
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:rolls eyes
Erasmus:"Maybe late... er... No... I... er..."
Kenny - Syrus:rolls eyes
Erasmus:"No, I mean we need to take this book. It was locked, so I probably shouldn't have been looking but, you know how it is, right?"
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:You can hear the friars singing "Oh Blinding Light" through the north door.
Kenny - Syrus:@Erasmus" ohhhh, you mean to ask if we can "borrow" it for the Greater Good? winks
Erasmus:"It details a ritual that could possibly deactivate the shrines."
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:Jyrdani: "But this Odric knows how to reactivate them, right? So we need to kill him too."
Kenny - Syrus:"Sure, will do once their service is over _ I tell you, these church-ios need some singing lessons" looking at where the song came from and scratches his eyes
Simon N. (GM):Prior Mordrin is now giving the Benediction.
Kenny - Syrus:"I think the Mondrin is about to make Eggs Benedict*
Erasmus:"I was never one for religion before... well, before I was taken in by the monastery. I prefer knowledge granted by my own experience and that of others."
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus knocks on the door again, wondering if anyone is in
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"Enter?"
Erasmus:*Erasmus closes the book and places it on the table. The key is laid next to it and Erasmus stands between it and the door.
Kenny - Syrus:"Oh Hello M'Lady, Sister, Good day to you both!"
Victoria of the Golden Cup:Syrus sees a lady knight in shining armour, and a Sister of St Cecilia, patron saint of sinners redeemed.
Kenny - Syrus:"What beautiful and shint armour you are wearing, I am Syrus, at your service" bows
Simon N. (GM):She has an upper class accent of Heliogabalus, the national capital. She smiles at the compliment.
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"Thank you good sir."
Kenny - Syrus:Prior Mondrin mentions that you arrived last night. What brings you here?
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"I am pledged to escort Sister Cecily safely back to her Abbey. The roads of late grow too dangerous for a lone traveller."
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus acknowledges the er-hm usual nun's habits she may be wearing
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"We plan to lunch here then depart, to reach the Abbey in Chaney Shire by nightfall. The path leads past Darkwood and should not be traversed after dusk."
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:rolls eyes
Kenny - Syrus:"I see, I think we may be able to accompany you towards Darkwood, as I think we also are heading towards that direction. Can I introduce you to my companions?"
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"Most certainly!" she gives Jyrdani a polite smiles as the barbarian strides in.
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Jyrdani. Reaver. Killer."
Kenny - Syrus:This is Jyrdani, the most powerful fighter I have ever met!
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"Oh... I am Victoria, Knight Paladin of the Golden Cup."
Simon N. (GM):Cecily waves. "And I'm Sister Cecily!"
Kenny - Syrus:"Can I introduce you both to our nerdy friend Erasmus studying next door?"
Simon N. (GM):Cecily: "I was delivering a message from Abbess Mara to the Archbishop in Heliogabalus, when Lady Victoria offered to take me home!" she offers Syrus her hand.
Erasmus:Over his shoulder, without taking his eyes off the door "Greetings."
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"A student of books? Most commendable!" she smiles.
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus takes Cecily's hand "certainly Sister"
Simon N. (GM):Cecily sashays daintily with Syrus.
Kenny - Syrus:@Erasmus "Here is Lady Victoria, Knight Paladin of the Golden Cup, and Sister Cecily"
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"The Sisters of St Cecilia are an ...unusual... order."
Erasmus:Still keeping his eyes on the door "A pleasure."
Kenny - Syrus:They are planning to head towards Darkwood after having lunch here. I suggested we could escort them as we are all going the same direction?"
Victoria of the Golden Cup:(to Erasmus) "Good noon, Brother."
Erasmus:Raises a hand in acknowledgement to Lady Victoria
Victoria of the Golden Cup:Erasmus hears Mordrin's footsteps approaching the door.
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus taking the tomb on the table and bringing it closer to his face "Did you hear what I just said?" smiles
Erasmus:Stands to alert
Kenny - Syrus:"Ah! Prior Mondrin!"
Simon N. (GM):The door opens and you see Mordrin. He smiles affably. "Ah, I see you've all met. You are all invited to lunch, of course."
Erasmus:“Forgive me Father Prior, I feel I may have abused your hospitality.”
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"Thank you, Prior."
Kenny - Syrus:"I was going to say 'speaking of the Devil', but that would be inappropriate here...!"
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin gives Syrus a faint smile, and turns to Erasmus. "Oh?"
Erasmus:“Having been presented with such a display gestures at the bookshelf my interest was piqued and I simply could not resist the promise of additional knowledge. I can certainly see why this is the restricted section of your library.”
Simon N. (GM):"Indeed."
Kenny - Syrus:"While the studious Erasmus was pouring over the tomes, he found an interesting volume here that is ALSO unlocked!"
Simon N. (GM):"Mm?"
Erasmus:"I may have… um… stumbled across… a key to a particular volume"
Simon N. (GM):"I see."
Kenny - Syrus:rolls eyes
Simon N. (GM):Cecily wanders towards the door, attracted by the aroma of roast pork from the refectory.
Kenny - Syrus:"And an ritual that can most probably dispel the whole summoning all together!"
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin: "Ah... but the Brothers of the Yellow Rose are not Ritual casters."
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus feels his cloak is about to billow...
Simon N. (GM):Cecily: "Scuse me..."
Erasmus:"Indeed we are not. But this is why I travel with companions."
Kenny - Syrus:"Prior, I must admit that I myself is an incredible Ritual caster!"
Erasmus:"It is important to surround oneself with those that can balance one's own weaknesses."
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin smiles. "Ah. I begin to understand."
Kenny - Syrus:"I myself was solely responsible in banishing the imp in the Skulnar Castle with one click of my fingers!"
Simon N. (GM):(he has a bit of an Ian McKellen Gandalf accent going)
Kenny - Syrus:"Thou Shall Not Pass!!" I said!
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:"Prior, they want to borrow your book to disable the demon altars."
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus continues to exaggerate every detail, totally glossed over the important bits about Dawn (god rest her soul), and made himself the hero of this scenario
Erasmus:Rolls eyes
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin brightens. "Aha! Yes, I see. Well of course - if you have the expertise... but that tome must not fall into the wrong hands."
Kenny - Syrus:"Anyways, Prior..."
Erasmus:"Of course not, Father. It shall be protected with our lives."
Victoria of the Golden Cup:"It sounds as if you are set upon a most noble and virtuous quest!"
Erasmus:"We could perhaps do with some form of enchantment that may disguise it's true purpose. Just in case, of course."
Kenny - Syrus:turns to Victoria "M'Lady, once you have finished your quest, would you consider joining us on this noble quest?"
Simon N. (GM):"Illusion magic is not our forte, I fear. Perhaps a bag?"
Kenny - Syrus:"A leather backpack could suffice... maybe?"
Erasmus:"I fear a bag would not hide the true nature of the book."
Victoria of the Golden Cup:Victoria bows deeply to Syrus. "I am sworn to protect the innocent and oppose Evil. I must accept!"
Kenny - Syrus:"Whooop!!!"
Erasmus:"Unless the bag itself was enchanted, perhaps? Do you know of anywhere we may be able to acquire such a thing, Father?"
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin smiles: "Excellent! Now, let us lunch." He indicates the door to the garden, and the refectory beyond.
Kenny - Syrus:"Let's celebrate with a hearty lunch before leaving this sacred establishment!" Syrus closes the book in front of Erasmus, takes it (knowing Erasmus will follow), and heads towards the kitchen
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin: "A magic bag? Only in legends, ha ha!"
Kenny - Syrus:"Lets eat!!!" looks for eggs benedict
Simon N. (GM):You take your places for lunch - Sister Cecily is chatting animatedly with the Friars.
Jyrdani of Jiyyd:eats enough for several men
Victoria of the Golden Cup:eats delicately, as befits her station
Erasmus:Erasmus, used to the hearty provisions by now, eats calmly and carefully. He does not wish to overfill before an excursion.
Kenny - Syrus:Syrus chomps
Victoria of the Golden Cup:There's a lot of conversation among the Friars & Cecilia about the new Duchess in Ravensburg - a former Festhall Wench, Cecilia says! And the rising threat of Chaos. Two shepherdesses have vanished from near Chaney Manor to the north.
Simon N. (GM):Eventually the meal ends, Mordrin bids you farewell. "Remember, if you return here before entering the Darkwood I can invoke the Aid of Sollars, but only for 8 hours. For now, Ilmater's Grace be upon you."
Erasmus:"Thank you Father."
Simon N. (GM):GM: At the stables Victoria has a fine warhorse, Sister Cecilia rides side saddle on a donkey.
Kenny - Syrus:@Prior "Thank You indeed Father, for your knowledge and hospitality" Syrus bows
Erasmus:To the party: "Should we head out now? It is not too far to the Darkwood, we could perhaps reconnoitre before committing to our plan?"
Simon N. (GM):Mordrin: "The Friars do not ride horses. But you are welcome to borrow some of our asses." You take the track just west of the Darkwood north towards Chaney Manor and the Abbey of St Cecilia beyond https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyRaVLU-2Tppy6UZvZXNMBgDsuDEJXdIKCs2RCA09sgnmPvaQnHOBYh5yBLJFaJl6c0PR3pXqI2SudDKMEzaRPaXZmTqYVDR8hrxK9sM1X3ZGChZy85KitNAf9yrLzw1weBXo3r8CNjdbO/s16000/Hommlet-Gurzun%2527s+annotated+bmp.bmp
Kenny - Syrus:@Team: "perhaps Victoria should lead the way?"
Simon N. (GM):GM: sorry for the delay.. :)
Erasmus:"This doesn't look natural to me. I fear an ambush may be awaiting us. Sister Cecily, to the centre."
Simon N. (GM):do you know how hard it is to find donkeys at short notice?
Erasmus:Hahaha
Simon N. (GM):Sister Cecily hurries up beside Erasmus - - just in time, as around you in the bushes, sinister porcine figures rise up...
Kenny - Syrus:At least Donkeys were available on VTT - unlike the fish fingers!
Simon N. (GM):Orcs!
Erasmus:I don't fancy an ass sandwich, though.
Kenny - Syrus:LOL @ TIM!

Kenny - Syrus:Syrus trying to steer his donkey to face the right direction
Simon N. (GM):"Blessing of St Cecilia on you, Brother!"
Erasmus:"Oh, ass!"
Simon N. (GM):You should now have control of donkey token Kenny
Erasmus:"Which way did they go?"
Simon N. (GM):I'll stop there - 110 XP each this time
Erasmus:Sweet. Thanks Simon!
Kenny - Syrus:Ohhhh YES!
Erasmus:Next game next Wednesday, right?
Simon N. (GM):It's about 5pm when you reach Chaney Manor
Kenny - Syrus:Oh yes I see what you mean!
Simon N. (GM):yaay :)
Kenny - Syrus:Small pleasures for me!!
Simon N. (GM):I had one donkey, Get Along - he got cloned :D
Kenny - Syrus:Ahhhh so thats why "Get Along" was there!
Erasmus:That's awesome.
Kenny - Syrus:@Erasmus - don't you just love controling that donkey!!!
Erasmus:IKR?!
Kenny - Syrus::))))
Simon N. (GM):yup
Erasmus:Thanks for both the Bardic Inspiration (I didn't need in the end) and the GM Inspiration (which I still have from previously, but nevermind).
Kenny - Syrus:Looking forward! Hopefully we will have a couple of new players joining us too! :)
Simon N. (GM):best to use it!
Kenny - Syrus:Erasmus inspires the donkey to be as fast as a horse??
Erasmus:I had advantage on most of the attacks as soon as I had decided I was going to use it!
Simon N. (GM):I think will start at the Frogsmouth Inn in Chaney Manor next day after you drop Cecily off at the Abbey
Erasmus:So after a short rest?
Kenny - Syrus:Cool, so we should bide farewell to the unusually dressed nun that is Cecily??
Simon N. (GM):yes and your hp will be restored for free
Kenny - Syrus:Yays, and Syrus gets the inspiration back!
Erasmus:oh yeah, it's 1HP per level on a SR, right?
Simon N. (GM):1 HP per level overnight. St Cecilia is the patron saint of Fallen Women Redeemed. Mirabelle spent some time at the nunnery!
Erasmus:Ah, only overnight. I get it.
Simon N. (GM):But they don't seem to go crazy and worship Tsathoggua much either
Kenny - Syrus:Can I sing Song of Rest too? its 1d6 addition HP to your hit dice?
Simon N. (GM):if you spend a HD it gives the bnus
Erasmus:Don't need it. I was only down 1 after the Cure Wounds. But thanks!
Simon N. (GM):Jyrdani will be to full too after a nice quiet night at the nunnery
Kenny - Syrus:Cool!
Simon N. (GM):Victoria is ridiculously tough AC 20, 36 hp - but looks like she needs to leave killing things to her horse
Erasmus:If the orc hadn't run, yes.
Kenny - Syrus:What does flanking do?
Simon N. (GM):no flanking rule in 5e but I give advtg for rear attacks
Kenny - Syrus:OK!
Simon N. (GM):advtg just for flanking is OP but I think it's ok to suck up Reactions and get advtg if enough of you
Kenny - Syrus:I am fascinated by Jyrdani's abilities - is it possible you can share her character sheet in the thread? I would like to learn!
Erasmus:I agree, it works well.
Simon N. (GM):barbarians are great!
Kenny - Syrus:OP?
Erasmus:"Abilities"? Riiight!!
Kenny - Syrus:Got it!
Simon N. (GM)::)
Kenny - Syrus:Yes, Thank You - see you both next Weds 7pm! :)
Erasmus:Cool. G'night chaps. See you in a
