Bryn (Kimberly):And stickin' it to the man
Simon N. (GM)::D
Greeba (Jelena):OOC Jelly say sthg to check for echo please
Bryn (Kimberly):I know no one, but I look around the bar and see a dog, a bunch of half elves, and an orc. I toss a scrap of meat to the dog with a nod to the owner, and go to sit next to the orc.
Tony P.:I go up to the half elf. ... Looking for adventure?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I am actually frozen, trying to choose which waitress is the most gorgeous to place my order. :-)
Greeba (Jelena):Nursing my ale, I observe silently (for now)
Tony P.:I don't think you can go wrong..
Simon N. (GM):try now Kim
Bryn (Kimberly):"Greetings, half orc. You look as new to this area as I." I hold out my hand.
Greeba (Jelena):"greetings back at you, noble elf!
Tony P.:Are orcs common in these parts. Just watched the Hobbit...
Greeba (Jelena):I'm Greeba the Smith
Bryn (Kimberly):Bryn grimaces. "Just Bryn will suffice."
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I raise my almost empty ale pint to you, Tony with a knowing smile. To the ladies in this beautiful pub!
Greeba (Jelena):OK Bryn, and what brings you here?
Gorlock (Tony):Here, here!
Bryn (Kimberly):"What brings anyone to an unknown pub in these parts? Ale, rumours, and the chance to earn some coin."
Xarius Jaunesse:Hi I'm Xarius, just wondering what does 90iq mean?
Greeba (Jelena):"Handy? You may see for yourself one day
Gorlock (Tony):I go over to Thibault to introduce. How are you kind sir?
Simon N. (GM):It's a busy night at the Cumin Inn. In the SW corner two dangerous fellows are roistering with two ladies of easy virtue. To the NW the famous Bards Joriun & Margrethe are warming up for their night's performance. To the NE are two Moravin friars, a merchant and his men. Over to the east a noble couple are relaxing by the fire, attended by a maid and two guards.
Bryn (Kimberly):I glance over at the noble couple, assessing whether they seem to have any bodyguards around them.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I am very good, Sir! I am Thibault of Brandiar. My pint is almost empty, would you let me get one for you as well? Mister... ?
Bryn (Kimberly):While staying mostly behind the bulk of Greeba :-)
Simon N. (GM):Hi Jelly :)
Tony P.:Yessir, I go by Gorlock
Greeba (Jelena):I also glance at the noble couple, attracted by the fine features of the young Sir
Tony P.:Many thanks]
Simon N. (GM):Just east of the door a roguish looking woman drinks alone, eyeing you lot.
Bryn (Kimberly):Er, which roguish looking woman?
Jelly:Hello! Sorry, not having a good day today (bad anxiety so brain very scrambled :-(
Simon N. (GM):Vrena
Gorlock (Tony):No worries Jelly.
Bryn (Kimberly):Hugs, Jelly
Greeba (Jelena):OOC Hi Jelly, we're just meeting each other...
Jelly:OOC thanks guys xx
Bryn (Kimberly):Do I notice Vrena looking at me? If so, I'd like to take a closer look at her.
Simon N. (GM):Mistle you have recently returned to Cumin after completing your Ranger training under Elmo, and are chatting with fellow barmaids Mary and Becca.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):HI Jelly, you can relax now. You're with your friends. :-)

Simon N. (GM):Becca to Mistle: "Now look at you! a hero!"
Tony P.:Thibault, are you up for adventure?
Bryn (Kimberly):I raise an eyebrow, but walk over, motioning behind my back at the orc to see if she joins me. I like the look of her.
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):Mistle blushes. Oh Becca, I wouldn't say that! I'm still the same Mistle who cooked in this kitchen, you know!
Simon N. (GM):Mary to Mistle: "Lots of adventurers in tonight, Mistle - maybe you can join up, form a party?!"
Tony P.:Can I overhear them
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I call a wench and throw her a silver. "Please, dear helpful lady of this Inn, could you get my new friend here and myself a pint of your best Ale?" huummm ? (I wink at her)
Greeba (Jelena):I saunter after Bryn nonchalantly
Simon N. (GM):Mary giggles. "Your knives look a lot bigger now, Mistle!"
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):Ha ha, that's true! I'll need another big drink to go with them!
Bryn (Kimberly):I clank my tankard against that of Vrena.
Simon N. (GM):Becca winks back at Thibault. "Certainly sir! Here y'are!" (serves beer)
Gorlock (Tony):Thibault...I hear talk of adventure amongst the ladies, shall we join the conversation?
Xarius Janeusse (Max):OOC what is the red and blue circle
Greeba (Jelena):Greeting Vrena! I'm Greeba
Bryn (Kimberly):I take a seat next to her so that my back isn't to the room. "And this is Greeba."
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I think we should.... what's the worse that could happen? ;-)
Gorlock (Tony):nothing
Xarius Janeusse (Max):ok
Simon N. (GM):(I don't see a red & blue circle)
Xarius Janeusse (Max):(left click a character simon)
Gorlock (Tony):I mosey on over with my new friend Thibault
Bryn (Kimberly):OOC I see red circles around a few tokens, is that what you mean?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):As you can see, Thibault is more handsome than clever.
Xarius Janeusse (Max):OOC i meant on my character mom
Bryn (Kimberly):I glance at the Friar to take a look at him
Gorlock (Tony):They are your ac and hp
Xarius Janeusse (Max):ah
Simon N. (GM):Vrena nods to the others as they approach: "Hi there. I'm looking for some brave adventurers to help me recover the treasure of Marblehead Tower. You up for it?"
Bryn (Kimberly):And I look up as the boys join us. "But these fellows I don't know."
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):My apologies, fair lady. My name is Thibault... Thibault of Brandiar
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):Mistle notices the tall, handsome bunch of adventurers gathering at the back of the Inn and decides to cautiously head over, smoothing down her unruly, frizzy chestnut hair.
Simon N. (GM):Vrena: "They say the tower's haunted by the ghost of its last watchman... they also say the treasure he amassed is still in there..."
Gorlock (Tony):ah come on, we could be of great help...trust me (17 CHA)
Greeba (Jelena):I glance through my lashes down at Thibault and his friend
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):And here is my new companions of table, Gorlok the magnificient
Greeba (Jelena):"Treasure? I like the sound of that!
Bryn (Kimberly):Bryn buries a snort at the boys in her tankard, but raises it to the sound of treasure.
Eamon (Bill):"wouldn't that be grave robbing"
Gorlock (Tony):What kind of adventure do you have in mind/
Simon N. (GM):GM: Mistle you catch Vrena's spiel - you know the old watch tower a few miles out of town on the king's road. It was abandoned years ago, but rumour has it people who pass by after dark often go missing.
Bryn (Kimberly):"Certainly the dead wouldn't miss any coin."
Gorlock (Tony):Agreed
Bryn (Kimberly):"And it's a tower, not a gravesite."
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Oh that's the old haunted tower people have been talking about, right?
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):I couldn't help overhearing.....I'm a local here; and if you're going to head to the Watchtower I'd be careful: people heading down the Kingsroad at night have gone missing near that place..........
Gorlock (Tony):Maybe we could clear the place out to make it safer for everyone....
Greeba (Jelena):"I thought I've seen you here before! Name is Greeba
Simon N. (GM):>>"wouldn't that be grave robbing"<< Vrena shakes her head. "They say old Brocas amassed war-loot smuggled south... ill gotten gains. Anyway, the dead won't miss it. But there's likely something dangerous in there - the locals won't go near."
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):OOC Simon have I seen Greeba before?
Bryn (Kimberly):Bryn looks around the table. She's not too sure of a lot of them, but there is safety in numbers. "Surely there are enough of us to handle anything a ghost can throw at us. Besides, who's to say it's really a ghost?"
Gorlock (Tony):My mother always said I had more guts than brains...
Simon N. (GM):GM: You can decide if your PCs have met each other.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Grave robbing is very much NOT on the menu!
Greeba (Jelena):OOC as I've visited the inn before, and you used to be a waitress?
Simon N. (GM):>>istle Thorngage (Jelly):I couldn't help overhearing.....I'm a local here; and if you're going to head to the Watchtower I'd be careful: people heading down the Kingsroad at night have gone missing near that place..........<< Vrena nods. "That's why I prefer strength in numbers!"
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):Ah yes! Greeba! I remember you know: you had good things to say about my chicken stew?
Xarius Janeusse (Max):OOC who should i meet before this occasion
Gorlock (Tony):Join in Xarius
Simon N. (GM):There's a stir as Jorian Whitefeather gets up on a table and begins to sing a stirring ballad, of Gareth Dragonsbane and his victory over the Witch-King.
Greeba (Jelena):"It was the food of the gods! Like a stew should be
Gorlock (Tony):My noble kinsman, join in
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):I still love cooking, but I'm slicing up more monsters than potatoes, these days! And Mistle points at a scar down one cheek.
Xarius Janeusse (Max):Iknow im just unable to think of anything to add to this conversation
Bryn (Kimberly):Bryn raises her chin at the human monk. "Is fighting an evil spirit that endangers the locals reason enough for you? I'm good with treasure, but that's surely a bonus."
Gorlock (Tony):I've not sen many other half-elves in this joint
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):To Mistle: I never had the pleasure to meet you, I would have certainly remembered. :-)
Gorlock (Tony):I'm all for wiping out evil, my mistress commands it...
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):Mistle blushes beet red.
Gorlock (Tony):er, did I say that
Greeba (Jelena):"So where is this tower, then?
Eamon (Bill):im not much a combat monk at this point maybe one day ill become strong
Bryn (Kimberly):"Your mistress? She must be an interesting one."
Gorlock (Tony):Eamon, I've got your back buddy
Bryn (Kimberly):"The only way to become strong is to fight, young monk."
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):That's very kind of you to say, Sir?
Simon N. (GM):Vrena: "About four miles out of town, west on the King's Road, up on Marblehead rise."
Bryn (Kimberly):Bryn turns to the half-elf sorcerer hovering nearby. "What of you, brightly coloured sir? Are you in for a bit of treasure hunting?"
Simon N. (GM):Joriun finishes his song to applause and stands down;
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):To Mistle: Thibault of Brandiar, at your service, fair lady!
Simon N. (GM):Margrethe takes his place and begins a sad love long of an Impilturan princess and her prince, lost at sea.
Xarius Janeusse (Max):Sure I'm in for any treasure as long as theres absolutely ANYTHING to observe or analyse as I'm getting rather bored of sitting idly in my study
Greeba (Jelena):I clap my hands and drain my tankard. "I am willing to investigate the tower. Who is with me?
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):Mistle Thorngage! It's really such a pleasure and an honour to meet a Knight, I can't imagine what you're doing out here in the sticks! I long for more adventures..........

Gorlock (Tony):I go over to margrethe to console her...
Greeba (Jelena):Greeba enjoys rougher tones more than dulcet ones
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Replying to Mistle. Yes, I also long for some more glorious adventures. I have decided to stop waiting for the evil to pick us up and counter attack these horrors that lurk around our realm.
Simon N. (GM):The barmaids cluster around handsome Joriun, cooing over him.
Gorlock (Tony):Lass some ale for the lady
Greeba (Jelena):Looking at Vrena too
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):To Thibault: I like your initiative! Tell me, do you believe in destiny?

Gorlock (Tony):OOC, going to need some coin soon...
Simon N. (GM):Margrethe: "Usually I can hit the notes,must have picked up something at the Roadhouse last night..."
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):I think we make our own destiny, Miss Thorngage,... but I believe that forces of good can help us accomplish it.
Gorlock (Tony):I haven't been there in ages. Anything new happening?
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):Yes, there does seem to be a mysterious illness sweeping the land at the moment.........
Tony P.:Are you feeling ok?
Simon N. (GM):Margrethe: "At the Roadhouse? Patrick the owner beat up some Crimson Monks there a few weeks back - I hear they were trying to recruit him. Since then they've been lurking around, causing trouble. I hear they're based at an old ruin in the Frog marshes."
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):To Thibault: Yes, and we must grab it with both hands! We do not know entirely where the arrow might land, but it is enough to aim....
Simon N. (GM):brb tea
Tony P.:Thibault....ever hear of the Crimson Monks?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):(Thibault face becomes suddenly sombre)
Tony P.:what is it good sir
Eamon (Bill):"i know of them"

Tony P.:Tell mus what you know
Eamon (Bill):"well there's some baseless rumors that my great and magnificent brother is affiliated with them after he left our order"
Tony P.:Have you heard from him lately?
Eamon (Bill):"i know my noble brother would not stoop to joining heathens and infadels"
Tony P.:How sure...
Eamon (Bill):"i am certain he tought me everything i know hes a good man"
Tony P.:#your aid
Simon N. (GM):Margrethe is eyeing Eamon with a surprised look.
Tony P.:uh oh
Bryn (Kimberly):Bryn prods Vrena with an elbow. "So, about that treasure...is it a cut we'd be getting or flat payment for our trouble?"
Simon N. (GM):Margrethe to Eamon: "Brother Monk, you have a familiar look. Would you be any relation to Patrick, the master of Roadhouse Inn?"
Eamon (Bill):"what is it margrethe you look troubled"
Tony P.:Back off mister, we were having a conversation
Eamon (Bill):"yes hes my brother but running an inn seems so unlike him"
Simon N. (GM):Vrena to Bryn: "Half for me, half for the rest of you to share."
Greeba (Jelena):I look at Vrena "Half? We would be doing all the work!"
Bryn (Kimberly):"Half and half? That hardly seems fair when there's this many of us and only one of you and you not coming along."
Tony P.:Vrena, sounds almost fair. 1/3 for you and we share the rest
Simon N. (GM):Margrethe blinks: "You're Patrick's brother? Ah, right. Well you better be careful - if the Scarlet Monks know you're in these parts, they may seek to use you to get to him."

Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):To Vrena: I agree with Lady Bryn, half for you seems awfully greedy, Vrena!

Simon N. (GM):GM: Centipede venom paralyses, but is not lethal (though the bites can be) & it wears off after an hour.
Greeba (Jelena):OOC so you just have to carry me around for 1 hour...
Bryn (Kimberly):They'll still be at 0 hp?
Simon N. (GM):Short of a remove paralysis spell/potion, best bet is to make them comfy & wait.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Oh good! Let's wait if that's ok with you. I can save my healing pwoers for later.?
Simon N. (GM):they'll be at 1 hp when they wake up, plus any healing
Tony P.:nice rest....
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):I think I saw a bedchamber back there, if we could lift them onto the beds to rest?
Bryn (Kimberly):Ok, can I carefully inspect the boxes around the area and the trap door that Greeba uncovered while we wait?
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Great idea.
Simon N. (GM):If any had Medicine I'd allow a check to let them short rest while paralysed

Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Simon, did my Divine Sense returned anythng Evil in the area?
Bryn (Kimberly):Ah, shoot. I meant to add one, but only put it in my background
Simon N. (GM):@Philippe - you sense something evil below you, and a ghostly presence above you.
Bryn (Kimberly):If you'll allow it -- it's because she thinks her mother was poisoned
Simon N. (GM):(if you have the money or background grant Kim then yes)

Bryn (Kimberly):All yours, Mistle. It suits you.
Simon N. (GM):The desk drawers are filled with moldering
Greeba (Jelena):Greeba seems bored with the lack of treasure or at least steel implements
Simon N. (GM):Mistle you notice some food detritus on the ladle - it looks weeks or a few months old, yet this place seems abandoned for years.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):This is really weird.
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):Hmmm, perhaps some unfortunate fellows using this place as a home?
Bryn (Kimberly):"I can't imagine they're sleeping here," says Bryn, gesturing to the mouldy bed.
Thibault of Brandiar (Phil):Maybe some very posh centipede?
Bryn (Kimberly):She looks at the windows. Do they look clean or are they covered in dust?
Simon N. (GM):V dusty
Greeba (Jelena):"Yuck, the centipedes can't cook, surely!?
Bryn (Kimberly):"Perhaps a hungry ghost? Though I've not heard of the like."
Mistle Thorngage (Jelly):OOC only in Japan ;-)

Gorlock (Tony):Ha!
Simon N. (GM):He looks finely dressed, a well-born type w breastplate & sword at his belt. You don't recognise him. OK you got 31 XP each for the centipedes + 25 for inn & investigations = 56 each
Bryn (Kimberly):...and Boris says we're in full lockdown again.
