ok, this will be played at night, right? just to make sure not to schedule something over this for the next weeks.

night eastern time.  Steerpike, others...Wed or Thursday better?  let's get some pride in survival gaming in.

Quote from: LordVreeg
Indeed.
Things are interesting in my gaming world right now.  But getting into work today and seeing emails from the two of you warms what passes for my ventricular system.  And in OSR, a 4x3 funnel is fine and dandy, Basneti.

I will be on tonight and tomorrow night after 8:45 eastern.  In April, I have Igbar on the 13th, Miston on the 20th, Limetom and I have decided to put SIG on Hiatus and get the Collegium Arcana game going in Mid-April.  I am travelling to NYC twice, Mid A once, and Back to friggin Vegas for work.

SO can we try to have character's pretty much finished by Monday night and maybe shoot for Wed or Thursday night at 8:45 eastern (after I put V to bed)?

Steerpike, any chance of having this done by tonight?

Still trying to get a feel for Wed or Thur night.
Ned to make sure everyone has their money spent.

Shoot Vreeg, I am busy Tuesday/Wednesday nights this week.  I may be able to swing Thursday.

Well, that answers that.  Thursday shall be the day, and the day shall be Thursday.

Llum, btw, I forgot that level one orators can pay a hireling, if they want.

And am busy setting up tokens.,and need some names
roll20.net uses toekns on a map/

A COUPLE THINGS.

We will 'meet' on #celtricia at 8:45 eastern.
I'll get the link for roll20.net from there.

Looks like we'll be runninG the 3x3 unless S-H suddenly bombs together three characters.  And I am fine either way.  Right now, we have 3 fighting men, 2 scholars, i priestess, one Orator, and one rogue.  I like the mix.

We'll be starting in Lochman, above.   More later

My presence my not be a guarantee.  I will see how things work out but I may end up having to bail.  If SH wants to take over for me, he's more than welcome!!

well, we will do what we can and must

More to clean up, but we played for over 2 hours in the first session.  slowly fixing this up


LordVreeg (GM):SO it is evening, as the 6 of you enter into the forest town of Lochman
OK.
His hireling is name Maxamillian
A mongel
Plaes Holdir:LOL
Is he a mighty sage?
LordVreeg (GM):5 ST
he wears red robes

Plaes Holdir:ok, sweet, my guys are all good

Plaes Holdir:Oh, Vimy also has a donkey
named Saltlick
LordVreeg (GM):Maxamillian is aloof,
sure that he is denuri

Maxamillian has lost most of his nose in a childhood accident
and makes a hissing sound as he talks and laughs
and it is evening as the 7 of you come into town

LordVreeg (GM):The blue sky turning dark
as the eaves of the forest come close
wooden buildings on the left and right, as well as a fire far ahead, line the way
it is...a modest village, with dirt tracks passing for the roadway.
the 7 of you have passed some farm buildings, and some ruins on the way to this outrskirt
but as the evening starts in, you find yourself on the eaves of Lochman, and in the eaves of the forest, as well
LordVreeg (GM):water can be heard ahead

Max--"good thing we made it before nightfall...."

the 7 of you see villagers moving around, and there seems to be a semi-busy spot ahead, to the left
Plaes Holdir:Vimy: Let us find Creels camp and settle in for the evening.
LordVreeg (GM):Max, " sounds smart....."

ooc...there are a few woodmen, mongrels, going right to left, as well as a family walking the asme direction you are
the light of the houses is welcome, however
as the dark is full of strrangeness in this world



LordVreeg (GM):Max starts to move forward into the raod
as the light starts to fail
there are wagon tracks deep in this road
tripping you a bit
and there is a lit building left and front
and a more steady light, far ahead

Plaes Holdir:Triskel: Let's ask at the big light ahead if someone knows where we can find Creel
LordVreeg (GM):the darkness is always a fright, to all, in this world of gods and augers
Plaes Holdir:Vimy: The sooner we find camp the sooner we can get some sleep.

LordVreeg (GM):the group moves forward
and you pass a 2 storey building on your right
where many voices can be heard
in front of you, a wooden arched bridge

Bastien M.:Kael: anything to buy? we'll need suplies for tomorrow

LordVreeg (GM):and beyond, a huge bonfire

Max, " There be many buildings, so someone must want to sell..."
Plaes Holdir:Triskel: I don't need anything other than my armor and my poleaxe.

LordVreeg (GM):2 men with torches arfe walking towards you
in studded leather

Plaes Holdir:Vimy: Perhaps, Kael, do you require anything specific? Perhaps Creel will be able to supply us with goods.
LordVreeg (GM):max, hisses and laughs..."Food is nice"


LordVreeg (GM):the larger man walking towards you holds up a hand
Bastien M.:Keal: you seem really confident of yourself (to triskel)
(to vimy) that sounds better
LordVreeg (GM):"The Profound Man sees all!!! who art thou?"
they seem relaxed, and carry huge torches

Plaes Holdir:Triskel: I am Triskel of Ion! My axe has slain hundreds of beasts! Spiders the size of horses! We come to the aid of Creel the weather!

LordVreeg (GM):(much laughing and singing to the right)
Plaes Holdir: rolling d20

LordVreeg (GM):they seem slighly taken aback by your surety
the front one regains himself

"Creel's camp is to the left, along the Plank stream...second building."
Plaes Holdir:Vimy (to Kael): It seems our companion will make interesting company! Let us meet Creel and see what we require for his quest

LordVreeg (GM):(sounds of plates klanking and more singing from the right
Max.."Hiss....Yeeas.."

Bastien M.:Kael: well, let's see

LordVreeg (GM):the light has failed, and the woods to the north are taking on a frightening feel
'water below, and forest ahead
which way does the group go?

Bastien M.: Kael "Let us go find this Creel..."

LordVreeg (GM):a family can be seen straight ahead at the fire pit
Plaes Holdir:Triskel: Aye! Well said! *walks off towards Creels*
LordVreeg (GM):Kael turns left
Bastien M.:Cilla *sight*

LordVreeg (GM):the group moves ;eft. off the bridge, away from the torchlight
after passing some trees on the path, they see a building on the left in front of them
quiet, with a slight greenish glow from the insde.  It is low, with wide windows on both sides of the door, and has curtains drawn.

Bastien M.:Rhiia: what's that glow??
LordVreeg (GM):Max.."something feels a bit weird
Plaes Holdir:Vimy: Perhaps we should avoid this place?

LordVreeg (GM):the building to the left, on the water, is low and long

Bastien M.:Rhiia: indeed, would Creel mind if we arrive a little later?
Plaes Holdir:Triskel: Fools, Triskel fears no glow!
LordVreeg (GM):beyond that building , voives can be heard,
laughing and yelling
voices

Bastien M.:Cilla: there should be the Creel's men
Rhiia: but i want to know....
Plaes Holdir:Triskel: Rhiia! We shall investigate the glow!
Bastien M.:Rhiia: it's something there.....
Plaes Holdir:Vimy: Perhaps we should follow along to make sure they don't get themselves killed?
LordVreeg (GM):ooc lol

Bastien M.:Kael, i don't oppose
Cilla: *sight* you're right
LordVreeg (GM):max...."uhhhTriske, you are bravery incarnate"

LordVreeg (GM):ooc marching order?
Bastien M.:ooc i think so

Plaes Holdir:Vimy (to Cilla): As long as we point Triskel in the right direction I'm sure we can handle it
LordVreeg (GM):max..." um.. Aye. Right."
Plaes Holdir:ooc: Triskel up front, Vimy middleish with Max. Sinjaid in the rear, silent as always.

LordVreeg (GM):more laughing ahead, and singing from behind
Bastien M.:ooc: Kael in front of cilla, rhiia at his side
LordVreeg (GM):the darkness is more complete, making the light more apparent
there are wooden steps up the the large, low hut
and a set of bronze bells
with symbols on them

Bastien M.:Rhia: *examines the bells*
Plaes Holdir:Vimy *pulls out a wooden holy symbol and hands Max a torch* Light this and watch the donkey Max
Thingsd look alittle less threatening as the light flares.

(From Bastien M.): +2
LordVreeg (GM):Max nods
Bastien M.: rolling d20+3
(
2
)+3 = 5

Rhiia: this looks familiar but are far beyond my grasp.
Kael: should we enter or we'll stay here all night?
LordVreeg (GM):max, from behind
hisses


Triskel: Let us enter! *He moves up and knocks on the door with his poleaxe*
LordVreeg (GM):huge laughter ahead, to the right, from the camp area
BOOM BOOM!!!!
silence......
.......
,,,,

Bastien M.:Kael *pushes the door* hello?
LordVreeg (GM):then the thick door creaks open
and a small, dark haired, well robed woman peers out
(almost making Kael fall)

Bastien M.:Kael: wow!
LordVreeg (GM):she is very, very beautiful,
if maybe on the older side
" Look at you lot...."

Plaes Holdir:Triskel: Woman! What is the Glow that assaults our eyes!
LordVreeg (GM):She smiles
she swivels over to the huge man
"Glow? Glow? my arts use many lights, warrior. does your axe offend the eys of some?"
Plaes Holdir: rolling d20
(

LordVreeg (GM):here eyes are piercing, her raven hair thick

Llum:Vimy: What I believe our companion was saying is, we saw a strange green glow and came to enquire on what would cause such a thing.
LordVreeg (GM):her eyes move to Vimy, " Ah....yes. My arts. I apologize, my pursuits are scholarly..."
"And who might you all be?"
Bastien M.:Kael: we came here to aid on a quest
Llum:Triskel: I am Triskel of Ion my lady! Slayer of Spiders!
Vimy: I am a travelling Orator here to help Creel
Sinjaid: ...

LordVreeg (GM):the small lady turns to Kael...." Ah. There are many, old and new, that might lead one here. I assume the more recent one, with the Lumbermen?"
Bastien M.:with Creel, we were heading toward him when we saw the lights
LordVreeg (GM):she touches Triske's cheek, " Of course, brave man...your kind is needed..."
she nods to Kael
"his need is new, though there is much to this forest
Llum:Vimy: Do you have an insight into the quest Creel would charge us with?
LordVreeg (GM):"many secrets are buried there"
Llum:Triskel: Thank you my lady!

LordVreeg (GM):she nods
"Creel fears for his people, as he should...there wolves and the huntsman's folk are more active than any time in memory..."
Bastien M.:Kael: huntsman....
LordVreeg (GM):she smiles..." so much in the Purple Forest, children..."
she nods, " oooh, yes. He's a crafty one, and he seems to have the favor of the Huntress of the Moon"
Llum:Vimy: Ah, wolves and the huntsman's folk. Foes worthy of a quest! Perhaps you have a trinket that would aid us against them? Strictly to help the village

LordVreeg (GM):she looks up at Triske..." he'd see you as a threat, my pet. He's a tough one."
Bastien M.:Rhiia:*with a shy voice* i'm a schoolar too.... any advice in our quest

Llum:Triskel: I fear nothing! My axe will smite all challengers my lady!

LordVreeg (GM):she looks over to Rhila..." oh, small one....so many secrets..."

"young lady, I have far too much to tell you...."
Bastien M.: rolling d20
(

Rhiaa:.....
LordVreeg (GM):she looks at Rhila as she rubs Triske's cheek..." such good memories I have of being like you...lady, I have a wagon of advice...but for now, let me give you this one theorem..."
Bastien M.:Rhiaa: *lets a smile run through her face*
Llum:*Triskel smiles happily*
(From Bastien M.): already got it, but ok
Bastien M.:rhiia *star writting something on a book*
Llum:Sinjaid: ...
(From Bastien M.): great!

LordVreeg (GM):"I am Amanite. Who art thou, this happy throng oustide my door?
Bastien M.:Rhiia my name is Rhiia, those are Kael and Cilla, friends of mine
Llum:Vimy: I am Vimy and our silent companion is Sinjaid.
LordVreeg (GM):she nods to all...:and this is my friend Triske, I know, my lion" she rubs his chin again

Llum:Vimy: My lady, if you would excuse us, we will take our friend Triskel and go to meet Creel.
LordVreeg (GM):she nods to you all. "I really am quite happy to meet you all. "
Bastien M.:Cilla: indeed
LordVreeg (GM):she nods." my parting thought...if you come back, find me..and do not trifle with the shrines of the Toothed ones..."

she turns and shuts the door
Llum:Vimy: Thank you for your wisdom! *he grabs Triskel and drags him away*

Bastien M.:Rhiia: thank you *while the door closes*
Rhiaa *with a smile on her face* let's go!!!
Llum:Vimy: Well it's a good thing the rest of us were around, or Triskel here would be waiting outside her door for the rest of his life.
LordVreeg (GM):the group moves away from the low bungalow


and in the darkness, walks towards the longer, higher loud building
Bastien M.:Cilla: (to Vimy) sorry if my friend becomes a nuisance from time to time
LordVreeg (GM):firelight comes from the windows
Llum:Vimy (to Cilla): I'm sure they can't be worse than Triskel, the oaf doesn't know fear or the sense that comes with it

LordVreeg (GM):ooc to all 30 exp for the Amanite encounter
Llum:ooc: sweet

LordVreeg (GM):in front of the group, on a porch, is a squat man with a snall axe
" heh....what be ye looking for" he is a dennite, with a mean look
Bastien M.:Cilla we're here to aid on a quest for Creel
LordVreeg (GM):he is mainly in shadow, with the firelight behind him

Llum:Vimy: We are here to see Creel, he sent word for heroes to aid him.
Sinjaid: ...
Bastien M.: rolling d20
(

Llum: rolling d20+1
(

)+1 = 8
Bastien M.:Kael...would you be so kind of letting us pass?
LordVreeg (GM):he smiles at the group..."well, my brethren need your help"
" pleased be i to let you past."
and he stands and opens the door rto a raucous scene

7 men and 5 women in leather armor watch 2 young ladies dance lasciviously
as a large, squat man near a fire drinks a huge flagon
LordVreeg (GM):the room smells of smoke and fire and meat and sweat
the circle of folk hoots and stamps
Bastien M.:Rhiia *blush*

LordVreeg (GM):on the far right, a young man prepares a tray of slived meats
Llum:Triskel: Creel! We are here to aid you! What is your quest!
LordVreeg (GM):from beyond the fray, the squat man yells, "shut the door, or trhe Profound Man will come in!"
Bastien M.:Kael: this guys knows how to feast (to himself)

LordVreeg (GM):the room hoots and hollers more

and someone yells to Triskel, " Ah, that guy is a hero in the making!!"
Llum:Triskel: A hero already! I am Triskel of Ion! Slayer of Spiders the size of oxen!
LordVreeg (GM):the squat man looks over at Triske. "I might like you folk!"
and smiles
The squat man motions you over
"Jomanny!!!!", he roars, ale for another doxen!!!" the young man on the other side, barely dressed, starts pouring
the girls start their dance, but room is made for you ro move past, or join in

Llum:Vimy: Let us find Creel, we caN enjoy the festivities later. Max! Take the donkey to the stable then find us
LordVreeg (GM):there are fire pits on both sides of the room, and the dance is in the middle
max.." Aye, sir..." and he goes around the back
the squat man smiles. " I be Creel..."

Creel is a large man, especially for a Heldras. Nearly three arms tall, wide, and with three separate scars on his face, he has seen much. In the Smoky environs of his low, long camp cabin, the red light of the fires on this cool, early spring night give him An orange and black underworldly visage. His battered ring mail moves nearly soundlessly across his wide frame, and a huge axe is scabbarded on his back
" I'd like to meet this slayer of SPiders...

the noise stats up again
Llum:*Triskel steps forward*: It is I! Triskel of Ion! I have slain spiders the bigger than a cart!
LordVreeg (GM):and while the girls move in their less than clothes, and Jomanny comes over with large wooden ale horns for all of you
Bastien M.:Kael *grabs and drinks* yeah
Llum: rolling d20
(
8
) = 8
LordVreeg (GM):it is a dark, rich ale, full of spiced apple
10 exp
Bastien M.:Cilla *refuses with a gesture*
LordVreeg (GM):Creel claps Triske on the arm" I have Need for you, hero!!!
Llum:Sinjaid: ...
LordVreeg (GM):"I have lost much, and I the brave may prove themselves"
Na, Not sure what has gone on in that accursed wood”, he shakes his head as his eyes go over the lot of you. The floor under his feet is covered in Thick, black rugs, and the smell of charcoal inundates everyone. His accent hints to some time in the northern hills. “An’ I have seen the beasties myself, red-eyed fiends of the Hunter".
Llum:Vimy: Monstrous wolves?
LordVreeg (GM):"aye, I know it...I have seen them"
" so if ye be game, I promise thee 100 dreccam, plus 25 for each of ye that come back with knowldege of my folk."
looks around the smokey room. This is a brave man and there is a presence about the man, a surety. "So, our fellows are in four groups in the wood, and so with the others and the independents, probably some six to eight groups right now. But normally they stay in for a week, but no group has come back in a fortnight."
"I can also offer you spiced ale and some salted meat..."
Bastien M.:Kael: sounds good for me *drinking another gulp of ale*
Llum:Triskel: I will slay the Hunters beasts! I am in need of a new cloak!
LordVreeg (GM):roars from behind he smiles, " I hope so. A group such as you,with the loud hero, "he nods at Triske, " mayhap you will solve my problems."
Llum:Sinjaid: ....
Vimy; We would be honoured to help, Where do you suggest we search first?
LordVreeg (GM):Creel nods. " wait for the blessed morning, for the words of the Furies. Then, ther is a path to the north, well travelled,"
" the girls are mine, though you may have Jomanny if you wish tonight."
Bastien M.:*Rhiia blushes again*
LordVreeg (GM):ooc, any who wish to take salted bacon rations may do so, 20 we units per day taken)
Llum:ooc: Vimy will put 20 days on the donkey and Sinjaid and Triskel will take 5 days each
LordVreeg (GM):ooc, the donkeyhas one pack, and can carry 500 we units
ok, remember the total load per person is ST*100
max can carry 500, and has 200 left
Llum:ooc: ya, all my guys can carry at least 1400 we. Tons of room.
LordVreeg (GM):ooc..well, one can always drop food
Max also is carrying 3 blankets
Bastien M.:OOC: Rhiia will take 20 days
LordVreeg (GM):ooc, fine
ooc...I am jumping ahead....
And trhe next day, the sun rises clear
all of you slept in the warm confines near a firepit
and the sun is clear, though the air this spring morning is crisp
you all wake to the smell of frying eggs
LordVreeg (GM):and warming hard cider
(From Bastien M.): any way to get a porter on the town?
Llum:Triskel: Where is the meat to break my fast! I crave not eggs, bring me the hen that lay them freshly roasted!
LordVreeg (GM):Jomanny hustles away
Bastien M.:Kael: Loud as always
LordVreeg (GM):from a loft above, " Triske, youd eat my women and fuck my food!"
laughter all around
Bastien M.:Cilla *looking for creel*
LordVreeg (GM):he is coming downa a staircase, in the other side
Llum:Triskel: I'll do the same when I come back with a new wolf cloak!
LordVreeg (GM):Crel laughs and points at Trisk, " Bring me one,and we will talk!"
Bastien M.:Cilla: (to Creel)excuse me... is there a way to get a porter or a donkey for the journey?
LordVreeg (GM):the me and women lie all around rthe room
Creel..." Aye, go to the Pnance trade house, lady. They should be able to help."
Llum:Vimy: Good morning all, we can depart for the northern woods after we break our fast.
Sinjaid: ...
Bastien M.:Cilla: i'll take a detour to the trade house if you don't mind...
LordVreeg (GM):Creel, " Triske, we pay 5 dreccam per wold hide....bring me a dozen!!!!:
Llum:Triskel: If there are enough wolves in the forest after I cloak myself and my friends perhaps!
LordVreeg (GM):the place is waking up, and you all swig warm hard cider
Creel laughs long and hard, and claps Triske on the shoulders
ooc the group preapres to leave
Bastien M.:*Cilla took her breakfast, said something to kael and goes to the trade house*
LordVreeg (GM):ooc, at the tradehouse, it is barely open
a tall women in leather greets you
" well, you are new, milady"
Bastien M.:Cilla: Good morning, i was wondering about getting a donkey and Creel sent me here....
LordVreeg (GM):coming
the lady smiles, ""oh, es Creel..."
we do have 4 donkeys for sale
but they are 15 Dreccam apiece, Milady"
though we'd do 2 for 28
Bastien M.:Cilla: ok, let me see *looking her pockets*
*not enought*
Cilla: ..... looks like i have not enought money to afford buying one....
LordVreeg (GM):she frowns
"that is too bad....
Bastien M.:Cilla: but i'm interested in some blanckets and a backpack
LordVreeg (GM):the bakcpack is 3 dreccam, the blankets 5 mdeula
Bastien M.:ok, i'll take 3 blankets and a backpack

LordVreeg (GM):she smailes, and they are very well made cloth, brown blankets

Bastien M.:Cilla: thank you so much, i'll depart now
LordVreeg (GM):the rest of the group is at the entrance to the deep woods
huge trees, with thick coils of wicket brambles all surrounding the undrfebrush
Llum:Vimy: Max, keep an eye on the donkey. I don't want him losing the pack in some brambles
LordVreeg (GM):ok, can everyone see the trees and tokens?
