[LordVreeg]

Alright, thanks, LT.  then on thursday we have the full session

[LordVreeg]

that is tonight with the full session.

[LordVreeg]

Now THAT was a session.

Session 5 (12 if you count all the Intermezzos) was truly awesome.

We played the students getting ready for the Incoming Ball, and then a large portion of the ball itself.  The interplay in Toad Hall was good (especially with the social side going on in the upper foyer, and the secret meeting in Pholian's room with Gregoir, Les'z, and Pholian.

Pholian Mar: I show Les'z the two statues if they haven't teleported out of my bed yet, pointing out the blooded one especially.
Les'z: (OOC) who is the human girl, the one who was on the edge of the conversation a few days back?
Pholian Mar: (OOC) It's the mysterious human girl I thought was you, I believe.
Les'z: Whoa, Pholian, what happened here, i remember that one
Vee: (To the human girl) "I don't think we've met, I'm Viwih. You can call me Vee."
Pholian Mar: "I think we've discovered something much bigger than a night's lark, Les'z."
LordVreeg (GM): She smiles, "well met, Vee! I am weronima...are you excited?"
Gregoir, loudly, " Stupid necklace does not fit!"
Vee: I am. I haven't attended a party like this in quite some time.
LordVreeg (GM): Christo, "I either. I feel like I am coming back fromthe cliuds onto clouds"
Pholian Mar: I rub my nasal bridge in thought "this looks an awful lot like this one" I motion to the warrior "Just...sacrificed someone. You remember what happened out at the quad."
Les'z: Tell me where this other statue came from (OOC and which one has blood on it, and description, etc)
LordVreeg (GM): Weronima, " I can see that paen to Froji, Christo."
ooc...the new one is a human statue in lamellar
Pholian Mar: And it's the blooded one.
Les'z: ooc and that is real blood on it?
How did you come by this second statue?
LordVreeg (GM): the candles in Pholian's room all flicker at once, and the room gets dark for a second

Then later the ceremonial march over...

LordVreeg (GM): the walls, as you entered, are heavily painted, and there is a podium up front, with the high honorables at it
you all enter in, and behind you, the rest of the student body, all still wiht candles, fill in behind
The Ball is held in the Seriol Tran, a Marcher style old hall on the corner of Sheval and Restitution Way. Ancient, high walled, there are painted scenes of grand hunts on the roof (somewhat obscured by soot), huge fireplaces on both ends, and the Sheval St Side is covered in high mirrors.
The ballroom is lit, by turn dim and bright, by chandeliers magicked heavily in the center and by the hot ,furnace like wide fireplaces, white mantled and adorned with hoary large Goodeval-styled portraits above.
Around the gilded room, other small portraits, some newer, some much newer, but a few very old ones surround the room in thick, ornate framed ornativity.
LordVreeg (GM): The air is thick, smokey, with food scents, wine scents, musky undertones. Music fills the air, yet no musicians can be seen, horns, piano and violin, with a base drum.
you are brought forward, and an invocation is brought up, "
"To the holy Angels who brought us the Woo, we give thanks, to those that chose us in this grand experiement, we give thanks, and to ou duty of teaching the next generations, we give thanks."
then you are all brought forward, and called by name, and given your Dexdemit spellbooks"
Les'z: BIG SMILES


Later on, we had Suave Pholian asking Christo to dance....and then totally fumbled, leaning on the table with all the wine and knocking over the whole table.  and 36 bottles of wine.  Incredible smooth.  and hilarious.

Pholian Mar: rolling 100
100
= 100
aaahahahah
Les'z: OOC did he land on his face or his ass
LordVreeg (GM): pholian slips and falls into the table.
he knocks of=ver the whole thing
Pholian Mar: ooc: And that's probably a less embarassing way to go in this situation >,<
LordVreeg (GM): 36 wine bottles fall and miraculously.....they ALL BREAK on him

Pholian Mar: ....ouch.
*"....ouch"
LordVreeg (GM): CARASH!!!!!!!!!

Les'z: So much for not embarrassing Kakoana! HA HAAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHA HAHAHAH
LordVreeg (GM): Christo falls on tp of him, soaking herself, as does Gregoir
Vee: Well.
rolling 1d100
(
49
)
= 49
LordVreeg (GM): the music stops
Pholian Mar: I burn up like a candle, of course, looking as if I just tried to shapeshift into a beetroot
LordVreeg (GM): Vee slides, then barely dodges

[LordVreeg]

OK, that was an amazing session last week, and the Intermezzo's have also been good.
Limetom, shall we try Sunday for your Intermezzo?

[limetom]

That should work for me.

[LordVreeg]

Just remember not to lean on the wine table when asking girls to dance. 
Damn kids...

[LordVreeg]

We were talking about some of the more spooky stuff that has been showing up, so this was an example.

LordVreeg (GM): you turn the corner ...and see Christo standing, her white gown flowing in the wind, in the window overlooking the Goldane Quad, a hissing escaping her mouth every breath, breathing hard

she stands right in the window, covered in Wine stains, eyes wide and unseeing
Pholian Mar: Did she/it notice me?
I of course quickly move my head back, laying close to the wall.
LordVreeg (GM): she does not seem to movebraced in the window
she is totally standing in it, leaning herself out a bit
Pholian Mar: Starting to feel like I should've drank a bit more wine rather than just soak in it, I start to approach it, trying to do so as silently as possible, watching her carefully as I do so, because I'm feeling a bit scared about what I may be dealing with here
LordVreeg (GM): there seems to be a white fog rising on the oter side of her
Pholian Mar: Wait
She's standing in the window.
LordVreeg (GM): yes
Pholian Mar: Not next to the window?
LordVreeg (GM): second floor
Pholian Mar: Alright, this is really giving me a bad vibe, I advance quicker.
LordVreeg (GM): as you get closer, the hissing is starting to be louder
she leans further out
Pholian Mar: Gulping, I ask "Chris, are you okay?" While starting to run.
LordVreeg (GM): she does not answer, but the white mist is starting to wreathe around her....
and you see something rising from below starting to show over the bottom of the window sill, cylindrical
Pholian Mar: Alright, I grab her and pull out of the window, as far from it as possible in fact.

[SA]

Heavy, man.

Y'all got a full log of these sessions?

[limetom]

You may have to have a Roll20.net account, but yes, we do.

[SA]

Don't think it's accessible without a "player link"

[LordVreeg]

I will send you one.
Maybe I will just cut and paste them, as well...it has been fascinating.

LT, I literally fell asleep at the keyboard last night.  Nothing to do with the game, it is actually interesting the way the social interactions are going.  I just have not had much time off lately.
