[21:23] <lorelee> Word has spread across the land! The Blackwood Company is taking on recruits to the organization. Hearing of the call, you have arrived in the city of Denerim. A small city some days from the royal city of Rithwall, hopefuls have come from far and wide in the hopes of joining up. Among them are you. Having braved the crowds, you have made it to the guild office.
[21:28] * Fatrich (~nobody@NewNet-7BF455D7.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has joined #DungeonWorld
[21:29] <joo> Greetings, Fatrich .
[21:29] <Vaylon Kenadell> Hey, Rich.
[21:29] <Fatrich> Sorry im late .
[21:29] <Vaylon Kenadell> Rich, what is your Skype account?
[21:30] <Fatrich> What i miss
[21:30] <Vaylon Kenadell> Nothing, we're just now starting.
[21:30] <Vatican> I sent what you miss
[21:30] <Vatican> I sent you that text of what happened so far
[21:30] <Vatican> test out skype man.
[21:30] <Fatrich> Oh, not sure if that will work at the same time as this app
[21:30] <Vatican> Thats why we are testing it
[21:31] <Fatrich> ok i gotta check
[21:31] <Vaylon Kenadell> I'll add you as a contact on Skype when you tell me your name.
[21:31] <Vatican> whats your email or whatever for that
[21:33] <lorelee> It is a small, two-story building. The first floor is crafted from stone bricks, and the second floor is made of wooden logs. The main entrance on the first floor has two companymen - one on either side - standing there as guard, to make sure the crowd of hopefuls don't swarm the building. The crowd around you is chattering about the recent raids in Kallel Fen, far to the south, in Ilazah.
[21:33] <lorelee> Many Company members have been called there to bring peace to the region, but troubles persist in Atlavion. Hence the need for recruits.
[21:33] <lorelee> What are you doing right now?
[21:33] * Fatrich (~nobody@NewNet-7BF455D7.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) Quit (Client exited)
[21:35] <Vatican> Tiny stands in the building, his keen eyes making note of the various people within, looking for possibly easy pockets to pick.
[21:35] * Fatrich (~nobody@NewNet-7BF455D7.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has joined #DungeonWorld
[21:36] <Fatrich> Yeah i got kicked from here when testing it
[21:36] <lorelee> Do any of you know each other already?
[21:36] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar has come alone.
[21:36] <joo> So, Fatrich, Durnish and Oren travelled here together, right?
[21:37] <Broose> Pellias has made his way through the crowd, standing out from most of the others with his full set of old, worn armor. He stands alone in the building, waiting patiently.
[21:37] <Fatrich> We can make that work
[21:38] <joo> Maybe Durnish came with Oren in order to carry Thrumnur's blessing with the quest. Dwarves must stick together when in foreign lands.
[21:39] <Fatrich> I like it ..... Ill watch ur back
[21:41] <Vaylon Kenadell> A slightly overweight man in unusual green robes is there within the crowd. He stands a head above most others. His wavy brown hair is long and carefully brushed. Around his neck is a piece of twine; threaded through it is some type of amulet made of woven twigs.
[21:42] <joo> Durnish surveys the clamouring crowd, his mace resting on one shoulder. He turns to Oren. "Is this the place?"
[21:43] <Fatrich> Oren " I think it is"
[21:44] <joo> Durnish gives a "hmph" sound, and starts to shoulder his way into the crowd, casting dark glances here and there.
[21:44] <Vaylon Kenadell> He looks at the crowd and laughs, possibly at some private jest. He listens to the rumors about Kallel Fen -- what do I hear?
[21:45] <joo> (A sketch of Durnish: i.imgur.com/BF40K7m.jpg)
[21:45] <lorelee> The building is lightly furnished. It's a large, square room. Opposite the side of the door is a medium-sized desk, with a thin, aging man sitting behind it. On the left side of the room is a fireplace, currently unlit. In front of the man's desk is a youth of scrawny appearance. The man sitting scowls at him, waving him away. The youth walks off in dejection, and the seated man calls
[21:45] <lorelee> over the next applicant. "Next!" he calls out.
[21:46] <Fatrich> Oren follows behind oren says "Outta the way"
[21:49] <lorelee> Einar, you hear that Kallel Fen has recently been prey to attacks by mages weilding strange magic. Alongside them have been strange creatures, looking like humanoid rats.
[21:49] <Broose> Pellias looks over the other applicants in the room, in no rush to get to the front desk.
[21:50] <Fatrich> Oren eager to join trys to make way up front
[21:52] <joo> Durnish strides next to Oren up to the desk, and stares at the man behind it, remaining silent for now.
[21:53] <lorelee> The man behind the desk looks up at Oren as he approaches. He says nothing a moment, looking the dwarf over briefly. "Name?" he says, looking down at a piece of parchment on the desk in front of him. Glancing over at Durnish, he adds, "Yours, too."
[21:53] <Broose> Pellias nods politely to the two dwarves as they enter, though raises an eyebrow when the younger one rushes forward.
[21:54] <joo> "Durnish Deephammer", he intones.
[21:54] <Fatrich> Oren says "Oren Copperbeard!"
[21:54] <Vatican> Tiny stands behind two strange smelling dwarves. He makes note of the wicked looking flail on one of them, and decides to not attempt to investigate their purses
[21:55] <Broose> Pellias eventually steps forward, standing behind the little halfling.
[21:55] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar listens to the rumors -- keeping in mind the nature of rumors -- in interest. "Hmm!" He approaches Pellias, falling into line last. "Pardon me, friend, but I see that you, too, are one of the hopefuls who have come for work. Do you happen to know where they will be sent?"
[21:59] <Fatrich> Oren looks at the halfling and smiles and says to Durnish "This one dont know what he gettin himself into"
[22:00] <lorelee> The man nods, scribbling out the names on the parchment. "Right, then. Welcome to the Blackwood Company, boys." He says, pulling out a key and unlocking a box on the table. Inside are a number of pendants. He hands two of them over to the dwarves. The pendants appear to be gold, and bear the symbol of a crow in flight.
[22:00] <joo> Durnish smirks.
[22:00] <Broose> Pellias turns, bowing his head in greeting. "I do not know, my friend. Perhaps we will be sent straight to the south. Or maybe we'll be proven with some local work, first." He shrugs. "Pardon me, I am afraid I cannot be of much help."
[22:01] <Vatican> Tiny smorks and shakes his head at the comment
[22:01] <Vatican> smirks*
[22:02] <lorelee> The pendants are on a chain. The man wears one of his own around his neck.
[22:03] <joo> Durnish takes the pendant and puts it on brusquely, but making sure it doesn't touch the talisman already hanging there. "Where now?"
[22:03] <Fatrich> Oren grabs the pendant and says "Thanks"
[22:04] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar nods to Pellias. "Well, perhaps they will not take me. I lack the hardened look of a warrior."
[22:04] <lorelee> "You will receive your assignments shortly," he says to the pair. His attention returns to the crowd, and he bellows out a loud "Next!".
[22:06] <Fatrich> Oren looks at durnish and says "Wanna grab a drink"
[22:06] <joo> "Very well!"
[22:06] <joo> "I would like to see if these... people can brew a proper ale."
[22:06] <Vatican> Tiny shoves his way forward past the dwarves. He looks at the too tall desk, frown, and hops onto it, taking a seat on the edge. "Tiny's the name, and Adventuring my game!":
[22:07] <Broose> Pellias looks the well-fed man over, and says politely: "Perhaps not, but you must surely have some prowess, else why have you come here?"
[22:07] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar starts laughing at the halfling's antics.
[22:07] <Fatrich> oren says "i dought it. ha!"
[22:08] <joo> Did we see any taverns nearby on our way here?
[22:09] <Fatrich> Oren says while scraching his head " you know i dont remember"
[22:09] <Vaylon Kenadell> That wasn't roleplay on joo's part -- he was asking the GM.
[22:10] <lorelee> The record-keeper looks down over the desk at the halfling a moment, sitting up in surprise when the halfling jumps up to sit on the table. He raises an eyebrow at the halfling. "Tiny? And what makes you qualified to join the Blackwood Company?" he asks.
[22:10] <Fatrich> lol oops
[22:10] <joo> Yes. Unless I fuck it up (which I have done), only things in quotes are dialogue.
[22:10] <Vaylon Kenadell> Turning back to Pellias, Einar strokes the amulet around his neck. "Well, I have faith. For me to have survived this long, the gods must be watching over me, as do they all."
[22:11] <lorelee> You saw a few taverns. The closest you can recall are the Scarlet Star Inn and the Dancing Mug Tavern.
[22:11] <Vatican> Tiny laughs "I'm sure you could hire a hundred brutey bloaks to smash something down, but when you need something done RIGHT, your gonna want someone like me, see?" Tiny winks
[22:12] <Broose> Pellias smiles. "Indeed, sir!"
[22:12] <Vaylon Kenadell> The amulet on Einar's neck looks like this: img1.etsystatic.com/017/0/6259313/il_570xN.526206969_eap9.jpg (Don't click this link, Rich.)
[22:12] <Vaylon Kenadell> Indeed, it looks like it was freshly-made.
[22:13] <joo> "How about that Dancing Mug tavern, then?"
[22:15] <Fatrich> Oren says "thats fine"
[22:15] <lorelee> The man gives a low hum of thought, scratching his chin a moment. Shrugging, he says, "Welcome to the Company, you'll receive your assignment shortly." Handing Tiny a pendant and adding his name to the surprisingly short list in front of him, he calls out for the next applicant.
[22:16] <Vaylon Kenadell> "After you, sir." Einar smiles at the paladin.
[22:16] <Vatican> Tiny smiles and hops off the table, making his way out of the building
[22:17] <Broose> Pellias nods, stepping forward to the desk.
[22:17] <joo> Durnish squeezes his way out of exit of the building, then makes for The Dancing Mug. He steps into the tavern and examines its interior.
[22:18] <Fatrich> Oren follows behind
[22:19] <lorelee> The record-keeper looks up at Pellias' approach, eyes widening in surprise. "Lord Pellias?" he asks, rising to offer a bow. "It is a pleasure to have you here in the guildhall, we bid you welcome."
[22:19] <Vatican> Tiny finds himself with a desire for ale. He makes note of the dwarves entering a nearby tavern, shrugs, and decides to see what lies within
[22:20] <Broose> Pellias waves a hand dismissively. "Ah, sir, I am but a knight with no land of my own. You honor me beyond my due."
[22:21] <Fatrich> Oren goes up to the bar and says "Let me two of your finest!!!!"
[22:22] <Vaylon Kenadell> Women or mugs of ale?
[22:22] <joo> Hahah.
[22:22] <Fatrich> have*
[22:23] <Fatrich> women lol
[22:23] <lorelee> The Dancing Mug is a grungy little tavern, known for its quality drinks - but the food is said to be less than savory. Currently, it is crowded, with a couple of barmaids rushing about to ensure the patrons receive their drinks.
[22:25] <Vatican> Tiny blinks in surprise at the large amount of too tall people. He sighs, cracks his knuckles, and decides to see about making some coin. He makes his way through the crowd, looking for a quite drunk customer
[22:25] <lorelee> "As you say, my lo--...sir, as you say," the man replies, returning to his seat. "I take it you wish to join the Company? Of course you do, of course you do." He pulls out a pendant. "By what name shall I list you for, sir?"
[22:25] <joo> Durnish walks up to an empty table that was about to be taken by someone else, but stares at them until they go away, then takes a seat.
[22:27] <lorelee> Tiny, you see a man sitting at a table, half-passed out with his hand on a tankard of ale. He seems oblivious to the activity of the tavern.
[22:27] <Broose> Pellias nods patiently. "Pellias Mourne, friend." He reaches out for the pendant.
[22:28] <Vatican> Tiny smiles, and nonchalantly makes his way towards the past out drunk. Tiny decides to help himself to the mans purse!
[22:29] <lorelee> The book-keeper nods, adding the name to the list. "Right sir, right. Glad to have you, sir," he says, giving a nod of his head. "Next," he calls, motioning the next applicant forward.
[22:29] <Vatican> !roll 2d6+2 To get some coin from the drunk
[22:29] <@pagebot> Vatican: 9=1+6(+2) To get some coin from the drunk
[22:33] <lorelee> Alright, Tiny. You can pick his pocket, but have someone else in the tavern see you do it, or you can try to pick the pocket and the drunk upends his drink on you.
[22:34] <Vatican> I chose to have someone notice me
[22:35] <Broose> Pellias takes his pendant, putting it on but keeping his holy symbol prominent in the center.
[22:35] <Broose> He steps aside to make room for Einar.
[22:36] <Vaylon Kenadell> What time of day is it, lorelee?
[22:36] <lorelee> A passing barmaid sees you sticking your hand down a drunk patron's pockets. "Ruddy little thief," she shouts, hitting you with an empty serving tray. "Get out."
[22:37] <lorelee> It is currently early afternoon.
[22:37] <joo> The shout draws Durnish's attention, and he stares with idle interest.
[22:37] <Fatrich> Oren looks to see whats going on
[22:37] <Vaylon Kenadell> Is Tiny in the same bar as Oren and Durnish?
[22:37] <Vatican> Yes
[22:38] <lorelee> Tiny got 3 coins from the drunk.
[22:38] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar walks up to the desk, bowing low. "Good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm here to apply to join -- the name is Einar Sindri."
[22:40] <Vatican> Tiny rubs his head "Oi there, miss! Me and old Rafnar have know eachother for ages, see! I saved his life from the rat men in Kallen Fen! He saved me from a crazy wizard! Surley you would not hound old freinds helping eachother to some ale?, would you miss?" He offers up a charming smile at the woman as he rubs his head
[22:42] <lorelee> The book-keeper, looks up at Einar, raising an eyebrow at his appearance. "We do not receive very many holy men, and certainly not of your age."
[22:42] <lorelee> Also, the place is Kallal Fen. For future reference.
[22:43] <lorelee> Roll defy danger +cha Tiny.
[22:44] <lorelee> Who ordered ale thus far at the Tavern?
[22:44] <Vatican> !roll 2d6+1 To convince this barmaid of my bullshit
[22:44] <@pagebot> Vatican: 3=1+1(+1) To convince this barmaid of my bullshit
[22:44] <joo> Nice roll!
[22:44] <Vatican> She has seen right through me!
[22:44] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar smiles. "Well, who better needs to hear words of courage and peace than men in danger? We go into danger to save them from a greater one."
[22:44] <joo> Just Oren, I believe.
[22:44] <Fatrich> Oren says" I did,Over here"
[22:45] <Vaylon Kenadell> That was just a GM question, Rich. You don't have to answer in-character.
[22:45] <lorelee> The barmaid frowns. "Lond ain
[22:45] <Fatrich> sorry guys
[22:46] <Vaylon Kenadell> Nah, it's fine, Rich. Everyone falls on their first jump.
[22:46] <Broose> If it's not in quotes, just assume it's out of character.
[22:47] <Fatrich> ok
[22:47] <lorelee> The barmaid frowns. "Lond ain't never been nowhere south of Denerim, and you ain't never setting a foot inside here again!" Grabbing your arm, the barmaid hauls you from the tavern, tossing you from the door and out to the street. "And stay out!" she calls, returning to work.
[22:48] <Vatican> Tiny rubs his head as he is tossed out of the tavern. He laughs, shrugs, and puts the coins in his purse as he walks off
[22:49] <lorelee> The tavern's finest drinks are sent over to Oren. It is sky blue with black swirls and chunks of meat floating in it. The drink smells nice and tastes sour.
[22:51] <Fatrich> Oren heads toDurnish and says "They call this there finest?" and hands durnish one
[22:53] <lorelee> The book-keeper nods in agreement. "That is a good point. All men need faith." Adding Einar's name to the list, and handing him a pendant, he tells him the same - assignments will be given shortly. "Welcome the the Company."
[22:53] <Vatican> Tiny makes his way back to the Blackwood building
[22:53] <joo> Durnish takes his drink and stares at it skeptically for a while. "Are those chunks of meat?"
[22:54] <Fatrich> Oren says "It appears so"and takes a gulp
[22:55] <joo> Durnish touches his finger to his holy talisman, speaking a short prayer, then takes a draught of the drink.
[22:55] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Oh, thank you." Einar takes the pendant and then removes the twig amulet, stowing it somewhere within the voluminous folds of his robes. He puts on the golden Blackwood Company pendant and then turns to Pellias. "Well, then, friend -- Pellias, if I heard correctly -- where did the others go?"
[22:56] <joo> He sets down the mug again firmly, with a thoughtful expression. "Disgusting."
[22:56] <Fatrich> Oren is gorssed out cuz he has to chew his ale
[22:57] <Vaylon Kenadell> Hahaha.
[22:57] <lorelee> A barmaid passes by the table where Oren and Durnish are seated. "How'd you like the special?" she asks, smiling. "Can I get you anything else?"
[22:57] <Broose> Pellias shrugs. "I cannot say. A rowdy bunch, it seemed like. I wonder if we'll all be sent out together."
[22:58] <joo> Durnish replies to the barmade. "Yes! A mug of proper ale, if you please, not this swill!"
[22:59] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar laughs. "I don't know -- I should like to have that halfling, Tiny, around. I don't doubt he could cheer us up in a rough place."
[22:59] <joo> *barmaid
[22:59] <Fatrich> Oren says "Next time hold the chunks hahaha!!!!!"
[22:59] <Vatican> Tiny walks in, and notices the two humans who were in line behind him, he walk up to them and gives them a cheerful greeting "Hello there! Were you two able to find employment with blackwood as well?"
[22:59] <joo> Durnish glances at Oren. "Though it does appear to be strong enough!"
[23:00] <lorelee> The barmaid smiles. "Yes, the special doesn't agree with everyone. Two ales, coming right up, sirs," she says, before heading off again.
[23:01] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar bows to Tiny. "Ah, I had just mentioned you, sir. Where do you come from?"
[23:01] <Broose> Pellias smiles. "Ah, perhaps you are right, sir. I was too quick to judge." He looks as Tiny comes back into the guildhall. "Indeed we have. I wonder when we'll be given our assignments."
[23:01] <Fatrich> Oren says "not even close "
[23:02] <Vatican> Tiny shrugs "I suspect it will be soon enough, if they are just advertising the need for help publicly like this"
[23:04] <Fatrich> yo guys not to get off subject but i just turned 30 its my birthday
[23:04] <lorelee> Happy birthday.
[23:04] <Broose> Happy birthday!
[23:04] <Vaylon Kenadell> Happy birthday, Rich.
[23:04] <Vatican> You old
[23:05] <Vatican> Aint nobody got time for that
[23:05] <joo> Thrumnur the Silent is pleased that you are one year closer to Death.
[23:05] <Fatrich> thanks guys
[23:05] <Fatrich> ugh me to no more 20s
[23:08] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar glances from Tiny to Pellias and then coughs a little. "Well -- so, each man has a forte, they say. What are yours, if you do not mind my asking so?"
[23:09] <lorelee> As time wears on, the crowds around the guildhall shrink bit by bit. Once the last applicant has left, this one without a guild pendant, the book-keeper rises from his seat, stretching after spending so much time seated. Sighing, he locks the pendant box back up. Picking up his list, he looks it over a moment. Nodding, he turns to the three standing around the room. "You three," he begins.
[23:09] <lorelee> "You will need to find the other two of your group, but your first job with the Company is this."
[23:10] <Vatican> Tiny looks around, realizes the man is addressing him, and listens
[23:11] <lorelee> "We have had reports of rats in the cellars of the inns. You are tasked with finding the source of the rodents, and eradicating this nuisance."
[23:13] <Broose> "I was trained in the sword and shield and little else, I'm afraid." Pellias replies, before turning to give his full attention to the book-keeper.
[23:13] <lorelee> "Do you understand?" the man finishes, looking at the three in turn.
[23:13] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar chuckles. "I did not know when we signed up that we would be working as ratcatchers. Perhaps a few cats would be less costly!"
[23:14] <Fatrich> Oren asked durnish when do you think we'll hear about our first job?"
[23:15] <lorelee> The man chuckles. "You might not be so lively when you see the extent of the problem. Report back here when you've finished, and you'll get your pay."
[23:15] <Broose> Pellias nods. "Yes, sir. Which inns have been infested?"
[23:16] <joo> "I wasn't clear about that," Durnish replies, "but I judge we should ask back at that place, eventually."
[23:17] <Fatrich> "lets finish our drink and head back"
[23:17] <joo> Durnish drains the rest of his mug of ale, thumping it down onto the table. "Ah! Not bad."
[23:17] <lorelee> The man thinks a moment. "The Singing King, The Leaping Wench, and the Dancing Mug."
[23:18] <Fatrich> Oren finishes his drink and lets out a mighty burp
[23:19] <Broose> Pellias turns to his companions. "Are any of you familiar with those inns?"
[23:20] <Fatrich> oh can i say i have a flask?
[23:20] <Vatican> Tiny says "I have payed a visit to the Dancing Mug. Quite a fine establishment! The Barmaids are a little hands on, but, still"
[23:20] * Vaylon Kenadell gags. "Beer from a flask?"
[23:21] <lorelee> I don't see why not.
[23:21] <lorelee> It's not a stretch of an idea
[23:21] <Fatrich> ok cool
[23:21] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar says, "Not I -- I tend to avoid such establishments!"
[23:23] <Fatrich> Oren stops at the bar before leaving and says fill it with the strongest liquor"
[23:23] <Broose> "Hmm. Do you know where our fellow recruits went?" He asks of Tiny.
[23:23] <Fatrich> and holds out his flask
[23:24] <lorelee> Oren, the barkeep eyes you. "That'll be a coin, boy-o," he says, holding out his palm.
[23:24] <Fatrich> i picked to start with 22 coins
[23:25] <Vaylon Kenadell> Okay, then what does Oren do?
[23:25] <Fatrich> Oren pays the barkeep
[23:26] <lorelee> The barkeep takes the coin, biting down on the piece of money. Apparently satisfied, he pockets the coin and fills Oren's flask.
[23:26] <joo> It's not chocolate money!
[23:27] <Fatrich> Oren looks at durnish and says "Lets go "
[23:27] <joo> Durnish nods, and follows Oren.
[23:29] <lorelee> Alright, where is everyone going, then? Oren and Durnish are on their way back to the guildhall and the rest of your are on the way to the inn?
[23:30] * Vatican (6c34548b@NewNet-FCD034EA.mibbit.com) Quit (http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[23:30] <Vaylon Kenadell> Hold on a minute -- we lost Vatican.
[23:34] * Vatican (6c34548b@NewNet-FCD034EA.mibbit.com) has joined #DungeonWorld
[23:34] <Vatican> Tiny says "I believe they went to the Dancing Mug tavern, in fact!"
[23:35] <lorelee> Alright, where is everyone going, then? Oren and Durnish are on their way back to the guildhall and the rest of your are on the way to the inn?
[23:35] <Broose> Pellias raises an eyebrow. "Hmm, such initiative! Let's go meet them, then."
[23:35] <joo> The first fact is certainly correct/
[23:36] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar chuckles at Pellias' words. "Yes, indeed. Let's go meet up with them."
[23:36] <lorelee> On the way to the inn, Tiny, Pellias, and Einar encounter Durnish and Oren on the road.
[23:38] <Fatrich> "Look durnish its the halfling that got caught stealing"
[23:39] <Broose> Pellias gives their halfling companion a strange look.
[23:39] <joo> Durnish stops and looks over the other three, then chuckles. "Ah! So it is. How go your exploits, little fellow?"
[23:39] <Vatican> Tiny facepalms
[23:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> As they walk, Einar considers the nature of rats. "Vicious little vermin. They can be quite a hassle, I know -- but I wonder what that man meant when he said, 'the extent of the problem,'" he muses aloud.
[23:40] <Vatican> Tiny says "If your friend were any louder, I wont have any pockets left to pick! Shhh!"
[23:41] <Vatican> Tiny conues "I was obviously scouting the place for the rat vermin we have just been contracted to eliminate, good dwarf!"
[23:41] <Vatican> continues*
[23:41] <Fatrich> Oren laughs and shakes his head
[23:41] <lorelee> Roll charisma Tiny.
[23:41] <joo> "Rat vermin? So, you didn't get accepted and had to take a lesser job." He laughs, and starts to walk off toward the guild building. "Good luck with that."
[23:42] <Vatican> He finishes "That poor man had lapsed into deep unconsciousness. His coins were spilling out of his purse, and I attempted to assist him in returning them, when that foolish barmaid misunderstood my most noble of intentions!"
[23:42] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar gestures everyone to gather around. He calls to Durnish. "No, half a moment! We've been ordered to deal with a -- well, a rat infestation at three inns near here."
[23:42] <Broose> "Not so fast, friend." Pellias says, to Durnish.
[23:42] <Vatican> !roll 2d6+1 more bullshit
[23:42] <@pagebot> Vatican: 7=4+2(+1) more bullshit
[23:44] <joo> Durnish turns and knits his brow. "Ah... well, let's get it over with, then."
[23:44] <Fatrich> Oren says "What!?, Rats!?"
[23:44] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar shrugs his shoulders. "The bookkeeper insinuated that the problem may be more difficult than it sounds."
[23:45] <Vatican> Tiny looks at the too loud dwarf "Yes, rats! Who would have thought! How was that ale, by the way?" Tiny smirks
[23:46] <joo> "Maybe that's where that meat came from."
[23:46] <Fatrich> Oren shrugs and says "It wasnt bad for human ale "
[23:46] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Well -- are we all familiar with the little vermin, or shall I consult a bestiary?" He chuckles.
[23:47] <Vaylon Kenadell> "At any rate, the bookkeeper listed three inns that we will have to check: The Singing King, The Leaping Wench, and the Dancing Mug. Which is closest?"
[23:49] <Vatican> Tiny says "The Dancing mug...I think. However, I might not be so welcome back.."
[23:50] <Broose> Pellias looks down at Tiny with a frown. "I should ask you not to make trouble during a contract, in the future."
[23:50] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar shakes his head. "Yes, so I have gathered by now." He glances toward Oren and Durnish. He takes a particular interest to Durnish's holy symbol.
[23:50] <Vatican> Tiny shrugs "Not my fault the barmaid cannot see straight"
[23:51] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Excuse me, brother, but what does that represent?" He gestures to the object around Durnish's neck.
[23:51] <Fatrich> Oren says to tiny "Maybe we should go there last they might forget b
[23:52] <Fatrich> about you by then"
[23:52] <lorelee> The bells of the clocktower at the center of the city ring the hour. Four chimes sound, the afternoon is beginning to wear on.
[23:52] <Vatican> Tiny nods "Good idea, dwarf!"
[23:53] <Broose> "It cannot be helped, I suppose." Pellias says. "The Leaping Wench or The Singing King, then."
[23:53] <joo> Durnish returns Einar's look with sudden intensity. He raises the talisman up with on hand, so that it glints in the light. "This represents the works of Thrumnur the Silent, Lord of all underneath your feet!"
[23:55] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Hmm." Einar leans down and peers at the dodecahedron. "I shall have to ask you more about your god sometime, when we have a moment."
[23:55] <Vaylon Kenadell> "I am Einar Sindri, by the way."
[23:56] <Vatican> Tiny gestures to himself "Tiny, just Tiny will do"
[23:56] <joo> Durnish nods. "I shall be telling you a lot more in time, I think. Durnish Deephammer, Priest of Thrumnur!"
[23:57] <Broose> Pellias looks suddenly to his fellow recruits. "Ah! I forget myself. I am Pellias Mourne."
[23:57] <Fatrich> "The name's Oren Copperbeard"
[23:58] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar draws back and looks over the rest of the party. "Durnish, Oren, Tiny, Pellias." He repeats the names a few more times, closing his eyes.
[23:58] <joo> "Ah, it's that dainty-looking boy from before. Are you some kind of noble's son?"
[23:58] <lorelee> Shouts come from somewhere further down the street. You're too far away to make out any words from where you are standing.
[23:59] <Fatrich> Oren says "You guys hear that?"
[00:00] <joo> Durnish turns his gaze in the direction of the shouts, shading his eyes with a hand.
[00:00] <Broose> Pellias seems unfazed by Durnish's comment. "Indeed. Though that life is in my past, now." He looks to the source of the noise. "Hm."
[00:01] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar opens his eyes and, like Durnish, shades them with a hand, peering down the street. "What is it?"
[00:02] <Vatican> Tiny says "Welp, only one way to find out, chaps!" He bounds down the street towards the sound
[00:03] <joo> Durnish follows.
[00:03] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar does a double-take at the quick halfling, and he begins to walk briskly in that direction. "Forth!"
[00:03] <Fatrich> Oren follows
[00:03] <Broose> Pellias advances with the others, looking carefully at their surroundings.
[00:05] <lorelee> As you get close to the source of the noise, the shouts become clearer. You can clearly hear the word "rat" intermingled in the shouting. Down the road a bit, a few people are gathered, clearly fearful of something down an alley.
[00:06] <Vatican> Tiny slows his pace, and readies his bow, he looks back "Looks like we have rats in the open!"
[00:06] <joo> Durnish hefts his mace. "Do you see any?"
[00:07] <Fatrich> Oren says "finally a finght!"
[00:07] <Vaylon Kenadell> "This is highly unusual behavior."
[00:07] <Vatican> Tiny looks down the Alley. What does he see?
[00:09] <lorelee> Three large rodents, the size of wolves, loom at the end of the alley. The squeak loudly, and peer back at you with red eyes.
[00:10] <Vatican> Tiny yelps at the sight of the rats, and lets fly an arrow at one
[00:10] <joo> Durnish turns a fierce glare against the rats, then starts striding towards the alley, clasping his talisman with his off-hand.
[00:10] <joo> Durnish is going to cast Magic Weapon on his mace.
[00:10] <lorelee> Tiny roll volley.
[00:11] <Vatican> !roll 2d6+2 to hit a rat
[00:11] <@pagebot> Vatican: 10=3+5(+2) to hit a rat
[00:11] <Fatrich> Oren says "By the tits of my ancestors thats a big ass rat!!!"
[00:11] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Definitely highly unusual." Einar stops a bit behind everyone and starts rummaging through his backpack. "Just a minute -- I've got to see if there's anything about this in one of my books on rodents."
[00:11] <lorelee> Alright, roll damage, tiny.

[00:12] <Fatrich> Oren readys his shield and stars sipning his flail
[00:12] <Vaylon Kenadell> Please PM me what I discover.
[00:12] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar finally finds the book he was looking for and begins to consult it, leafing through it slowly.
[00:12] <Broose> Pellias pulls out his sword and reaches for his shield. "Clear the way!" He says to anyone gathered by the alley, and charges towards the rats.
[00:13] <joo> Durnish grits his teeth, but continues striding to the rats, preparing to swing it at the nearest rat's head.
[00:13] <lorelee> Tiny, you hit one with an arrow, but it simply screeches at you.
[00:13] <joo> *the mace
[00:13] <Fatrich> Oren takes off running towards the rats and trys to bash one in the head
[00:14] <Fatrich> I roll now right???
[00:14] <Broose> Pellias swings his sword at the rat in the middle of the group, keeping his shield up.

[00:16] <Broose> The one in the middle of the pack.
[00:16] <Fatrich> the cloest
[00:16] <joo> Durnish is attacking the same one as Fatrich.
[00:16] <joo> Er... I mean... the same one as TIny.
[00:17] <Vatican> now damage, rich
[00:17] <joo> Durnish presses the attack, and deals an extra 1d6 damage!

[00:18] <joo> Leave out the space next time, Fatrich.
[00:18] <Fatrich> ok
[00:20] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Hmm, interesting." After reading for about a minute, Einar stows the book in his pack, then turns to watch the action. "Good work!"
[00:21] <lorelee> Durnish swings his mace at the rat, sending it into the wall. It slams into the wall. It limps back up after a moment, clearly heavily injured.
[00:23] <Vaylon Kenadell> During the fighting, Einar looks around the alley, walking back and forth between the buildings. I'm trying to discover, if I can, where the rats came from.
[00:23] <lorelee> The rat limps toward you, Durnish, it's jaws opening to bite down.
[00:23] <Vaylon Kenadell> Uh -- he doesn't go too far back into the alley, however, toward the fighting.
[00:23] <lorelee> !roll d4
[00:23] <@pagebot> lorelee: 3
[00:25] <lorelee> Durnish, the rat bites into your arm.
[00:25] <joo> Durnish grabs the rat with his free hand and slams it to the ground before stomping on it with a heavy boot.
[00:27] <Vaylon Kenadell> Fatrich, your hack and slash roll is 2d6+2, and your damage roll is 1d10+1.
[00:27] <Vaylon Kenadell> You got a 10 just now on your hack and slash roll.
[00:27] <Vaylon Kenadell> So we can just subtract 1 from your damage roll.
[00:28] <lorelee> Oren, you hit the rat solidly with your flail. It squeaks at you, but is undeterred.
[00:28] <Fatrich> ok sorry about that i got excited to fight lol
[00:29] <lorelee> Einar, sounds like discern realities. Roll for it.
[00:29] <lorelee> Durnish, you feel the rat's skull shatter beneath your foot.

[00:31] <lorelee> The third rat leaps towards Oren, jaws open.
[00:32] <lorelee> !roll d4
[00:32] <@pagebot> lorelee: 3
[00:32] <lorelee> It's teeth are unable to break through his armor, however.
[00:32] <Fatrich> I put up my shield and tyr to block
[00:32] <Fatrich> try*
[00:33] <Vatican> you dont need to block
[00:33] <Vaylon Kenadell> Well, no, isn't Fatrich just discribing what he does, right?
[00:33] <lorelee> Einar, what question are you asking?
[00:33] <Vaylon Kenadell> Okay, I got a 7. I get to ask one question from the discern realities list. The question I'll ask is: "What is about to happen?"
[00:37] <Fatrich> I wanna finish this thing
[00:37] <lorelee> Pellias, your blade sliced a deep gash into the rat's side. It begins bleeding profusely onto the ground
[00:37] <Fatrich> Oren swing downward with his flail
[00:38] <Broose> Pellias swings his blade towards rat's head, hoping to put it out of its misery.
[00:40] <lorelee> The rat falls to the blows, the creature landing on the ground with a thud.
[00:41] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar walks past the fighting, peering all about the alleyway.
[00:41] <lorelee> The three rats lay in blood-covered heaps in the alley.
[00:41] <lorelee> Silence settles.
[00:41] <Vaylon Kenadell> He gets down on one knee near the back of the alley, peering down at a sewer grate. "There are more squeaks coming from here."
[00:42] <Broose> Pellias sheathes his blade, looking off towards Einar. "You are sure?"
[00:42] <joo> "Are these the same rats we were commissioned to slay?"
[00:42] <Vaylon Kenadell> What buildings is this alleyway near?
[00:43] <lorelee> You are certain that you passed the Singing King as you approached the alley.
[00:44] <Fatrich> Oren says " I hope there's more rats to slay"
[00:44] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Yes, I'm certain I heard it." He says to Durnish, "I do not know."
[00:44] <joo> Does that mean the Singing King is right next to the alley?
[00:44] <lorelee> Yes.
[00:45] <Vaylon Kenadell> He stands, dusting off his robes. "Perhaps we should first investigate the inn itself."
[00:45] <Broose> Pellias nods. "That is wise. The owner will know more about this than us."
[00:46] <Vaylon Kenadell> It's almost 2 AM your time, Fatrich. Are you all right with the rest of us playing while you aren't here?
[00:46] <Fatrich> "Lets check t out"
[00:47] <lorelee> So, you're going into the inn?
[00:47] <Vaylon Kenadell> Yes, let's go into the Singing King.
[00:47] <Broose> Yes.
[00:47] <Fatrich> Im still going strong
[00:48] <joo> Durnish shrugs, then takes his foot off the crushed rat's head, and walks toward the inn entrance. "Very well."
[00:48] <Fatrich> yeah im good to go i still wanna play
[00:49] <Vaylon Kenadell> As they walk, Einar begins explaining what he read in the book. "These ... things are definitely abnormal. Rats don't grow to this size on their own, naturally."
[00:49] <Vatican> Tiny facepalms
[00:49] <joo> "Really?"
[00:50] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Haha, yes. I certainly didn't expect to see rats of this size when I woke up this morning."
[00:50] <Fatrich> "Are they mutiated some how then?"
[00:51] <Vaylon Kenadell> I'm not sure "mutated" is a concept that our characters would be familiar with.
[00:51] <Vaylon Kenadell> But they might say something like "transformed" or "corrupted" or something.
[00:51] <Vaylon Kenadell> Something medieval-ish, yeah?
[00:52] <Fatrich> ok good call
[00:52] <Vaylon Kenadell> "And I have read that the fur of these creatures is in style among the wealthy."
[00:54] <Broose> Pellias steps into the inn and looks for the owner.
[00:54] <Vatican> Tiny perks up upon hearing that
[00:54] <joo> "The Wealthy pay more respect to the Dead's rightful owner."
[00:54] <joo> *should pay
[00:55] <Fatrich> Oren heads into the inn
[00:55] <lorelee> The Singing King is a large sized inn. It is crowded when you enter, and it is easy to see why: a fair-haired elven lad is strumming a harp in one corner of the room. A girl stands beside him, singing a beautiful song. The barkeep, a rotund human woman, is cleaning the countertop.
[00:55] <Vaylon Kenadell> He laughs. "The wealthy have other means of paying than respect." And with that, he goes into the inn.
[00:56] <joo> Durnish follows with a stony silence.
[00:56] <lorelee> The girl bears elven appearance.
[00:57] <joo> owlvs
[00:57] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Ah, a song. I should love to stay and listen."
[00:57] <lorelee> Upon your entry, the bartender doesn't look up from her activity.
[00:59] <Broose> "Hail," Pellias says to the bartender. "We came here about the rat problem."
[01:00] <lorelee> The woman gives Pellias a glance. "Blackwood send ya? Finally." She sets the rag down, motioning the group to follow her.
[01:01] <Broose> Pellias nods, and follows with her.
[01:01] <Fatrich> Oren follows
[01:02] <joo> Durnish strides heedlessly past Einar and the Elves, and follows behind Pellias.
[01:02] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar follows Pellias, though his attention is still kept on the stage.
[01:02] <Vatican> Tiny shrugs, and followes the line of people following
[01:03] <Fatrich> Oren stares at the elf with a sligt anger in his face
[01:04] <lorelee> The woman leads you to the back of the stockroom, where a door in the floor sits closed. "Been on that lot for a while 'bout the vermin," she mutters, pulling the door open. A wooden staircase leads down, and you can smell musty earth wafting up from below.
[01:05] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar says, "Is there anything we should know about this basement?"
[01:05] <Broose> Pellias takes careful steps down the staircase, sniffing.
[01:07] <joo> Durnish touches his talisman, and calls upon Thrumnur to release its inner light.
[01:07] <joo> !r +2 -- Cast Spell
[01:07] <@pagebot> joo: 9=5+2(+2) -- Cast Spell
[01:07] <lorelee> "There are rats down there, that's what you should know," the barkeep says, crossing her arms. "Been at my stores again, just this morning."
[01:08] <Fatrich> Oren takes a sip from his flask and heads down
[01:09] <Vatican> Tiny heads down the stairs as well
[01:09] <joo> Thrumnur grants the light, but revokes its further use.
[01:10] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar grins. "Very well. Down we go!"
[01:11] <joo> The holy talisman of Thrumnur hanging from Durnish's neck starts to glow with a white light.
[01:11] <joo> He quickly steps down the stair, mace at the ready.
[01:11] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar follows Durnish down. "Close the door behind his, madam -- I do not know what may happen."
[01:11] <Vaylon Kenadell> behind us*
[01:12] <lorelee> Distinction between "holy magic" and wizard magic: wizard magics do not manifest white glows and energies.
[01:12] <joo> "Dark are the many caverns in Thrumnir's domain," he explains, "but he grants to the Faithful revealing light," and closes his eyes with a serene expression.
[01:12] <Vaylon Kenadell> What's in the basement?
[01:13] <lorelee> The barkeep nods. "Good luck," she says, turning and closing the door to the bar behind her.
[01:16] <lorelee> The basement has barrels and boxes stacked on the far side, adjecent to the staircase. The wall opposite the stores has a fair sized hole in the wall.
[01:17] <Broose> Pellias kneels down and peeks into the hole.
[01:17] <joo> Durnish takes the talisman from his neck (wrapping it firmly about his hand), and holds it up to better light the room. He steps carefully towards the hole.
[01:18] <lorelee> The walls are made of stone, and the hole leading to the sewers has cracked and broken bricks and chips of mortar scattered around it.
[01:19] <Fatrich> Oren follows behimg Durnish
[01:19] <Broose> "It leads to the sewers, it looks like." Pellias says. "Though I suppose we already knew that.
[01:21] <joo> "Are we to slay all the rats in the sewer, then?"
[01:21] <Vatican> Tiny says "Well, who wants to go into the scary hole first?"
[01:21] <joo> "Or maybe this stonework just needs some improvement!" He laughs.
[01:21] <Broose> "We are to find out where they're coming from." He says.
[01:22] <Fatrich> "I think just the big ones"
[01:22] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Ah, yes, one other thing I learned: rats nest in groups. Some folk call them 'mischiefs.'" He chuckles a little.
[01:23] <lorelee> You can hear the muffled sounds of the bard's performance coming from above. From the sewers is the echoing sounds of flowig water.
[01:23] <lorelee> *flowing
[01:23] <Broose> Pellias shrugs. "Well, onward, I suppose." He crouches down, and starts to make his way through the hole.
[01:24] <lorelee> The hole is tall enough that the smaller-statured among you can walk at full height with ease. The human sized have to crouch.
[01:25] <joo> Drumnir strides forward.
[01:25] <Vaylon Kenadell> Who?
[01:25] <joo> -_-
[01:25] <joo> Durnish!
[01:26] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar bends over quite far and passes through the hole.
[01:27] <Vatican> Tiny easily enters the hole
[01:29] <Fatrich> Oren turns sideways to fit through cause arms make him too wide to fit
[01:29] <joo> Hahaha
[01:29] <Vaylon Kenadell> Oren lifts.
[01:30] <Fatrich> he's jacked
[01:30] <Vaylon Kenadell> What do we see now that we're on the other side?
[01:31] <lorelee> You are standing on a ledge. Down one side is a ladder, leading down to what is currently a heavy current of water. From the ledge, heading north (to your left) is a pathway heading off into the darkness.
[01:32] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar peers over the edge.
[01:33] <Broose> Pellias stands up and gets his bearings. He scans his eyes over the floor, looking for any signs of the rats.
[01:33] <Broose> !r 2d6+1 Discern realities
[01:33] <@pagebot> Broose: 6=1+4(+1) Discern realities
[01:34] <lorelee> Pellias can find no evidence of recent rat activity.
[01:34] <Fatrich> "I guess we get to go into the darkness " Oren says scarstically
[01:34] <joo> Durnish sets aside his mace, and kneels down to touch his palm to the stone ground.
[01:35] <lorelee> The water, at a glance, doesn't appear that deep.
[01:35] <joo> Durnish will cast the stone version of Words of the Unspeaking, to commune with the spirits of the stone floor, and ask them if they've sensed any rats.
[01:35] <joo> !r +2 -- Cast Spell
[01:35] <@pagebot> joo: 4=1+1(+2) -- Cast Spell
[01:35] <Broose> Pellias shrugs. "Nothing that I can see. Strange."
[01:36] <lorelee> The stones here are silent, Durnish. They speak nothing to you.
[01:36] <joo> He frowns. "The voices of this stone are... distant."
[01:37] <Vaylon Kenadell> For the first time since you have met him, Einar pinches his brows and looks a bit troubled. "Er, well, if I may get your attention --"
[01:37] <Broose> "Ah, I've never known stone to be very talkative. We'll just have to figure this one out on our own."
[01:38] <Broose> Pellias looks to his troubled companion. "Yes?"
[01:38] <joo> Durnish fixes Pelias with a black glare.
[01:39] <Fatrich> Oren stairs at Pellias
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> "The truth of the matter is that I am more powerful than I look." He looks at the rest of the party apologetically. "I do not want you to think me incapable of holding my own against enemies."
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar brings out his dagger and begins to speak a spell.
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> 2d6+2 Light
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> !r 2d6+2 Light
[01:39] <@pagebot> Vaylon: 7=3+2(+2) Light
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> I choose to forget the spell.
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> The dagger grows with white light.
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> *glows
[01:40] <joo> Durnish turns his gaze to Einar. "I thought there was more to you than it seemed."
[01:40] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Ahem, yes, well -- I don't think I have to explain what I'm saying further." He smiles weakly at Durnish..
[01:40] <Broose> Pellias raises an eyebrow. "Another one who communes with the gods?"
[01:41] <Fatrich> "Ha!!!"
[01:41] <Vatican> Tiny looks at Einar suspiciously
[01:41] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Or perhaps I do..." Clearing his throat a bit, he turns to Pellias. "No, er... I have mastered arcane powers of my own."
[01:42] <Vaylon Kenadell> "If this troubles you, then I will leave."
[01:42] <joo> Durnish frowns, his fists slowly clenching.
[01:43] <Broose> Pellias furrows his brow. "I see..."
[01:43] <Vatican> Tiny's tiny jaw drops
[01:43] <joo> "Impossible!" he spits. "No mortal brings forth arcane powers by himself. You are in the favour of some God, but do not know it yet." He turns away, and starts to walk down the path.
[01:45] <Fatrich> Oren follows Durnish
[01:46] <Broose> Pellias looks back briefly to Durnish, concerned. "These are dangerous things to say, friend. I would counsel you to keep them to yourself."
[01:47] <Vatican> Tiny nnos, "Yes, we dont want the law giving us any trouble, ya here?"
[01:47] <Vatican> nods*
[01:48] <Vatican> hear*
[01:48] <Fatrich> Oren catches up with Durnish and wispers yo him "What should we do with em"
[01:48] <Fatrich> to*
[01:49] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar chuckles softly to himself, shrugging. "That went well."
[01:50] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Tiny, did you suspect anything of me up until now? I have lived all these years in Atlavion evading suspicion, but now, in this dangerous task, I felt that I would be revealed regardless. Do you trust me to keep my nature hidden when it must be?"
[01:51] <joo> Durnish grinds his teeth. "It is not for us to bring Thramnur's judgement upon him in haste."
[01:51] <Fatrich> Hay guys hate to do it but im tired as shit would it be ok if Lorelee takes over for me i got work in the morning
[01:52] <Vaylon Kenadell> All right, that's no problem. Good night, Rich.
[01:52] <joo> "But he plays with powers likely beyond his power to control. Should be become a danger, he shall be delivered to the Underworld."
[01:52] <Vatican> Tiny shrugs "I never met a wizard before. How about I trust you enough to know if the Witch Hunters come, You best be forgetting you know me!"
[01:52] <lorelee> Oren nods, falling into step behind Durnish.
[01:53] <Fatrich> thanks guys i had a blast ill have vatican catch me up tomorrow
[01:53] <Vatican> later Fatrich

[01:53] <Vaylon Kenadell> "It's not your head they want," Einar says to Tiny. "And you?" He glances at Pellias.
[01:53] <joo> I can continue to play, but I don't mind stopping here.
[01:54] <lorelee> Alright.
[01:54] <Vaylon Kenadell> Are we stopping here? I want to keep playing.
[01:54] <lorelee> People, keep going or stop here for now?
[01:54] <Broose> Yeah, I'd like to keep going if we can.
[01:54] <lorelee> Alright.
[01:54] <joo> Very well.
[01:57] <Broose> Pellias ponders the question. "You have done nothing wrong as far as I know, but these are... dangerous forces that you claim to manipulate." He glances back. "We should move forward. Let us hope the dwarves are not too offended."
[01:59] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Yes... let us move on." Einar offers another weak smile to Pellias and turns to head off down the left passage.
[01:59] <Vaylon Kenadell> He holds the dagger aloft so that they might have light.
[01:59] <Vatican> Tiny nods, and continues foward
[01:59] <lorelee> Durnish, ahead of you, you see the path widens to a corridor.
[02:03] <lorelee> The group catches up to Durnish.
[02:04] <Broose> Pellias joins with Durnish and Oren. "Have you found anything?"
[02:04] <joo> "Naught that I can see."
[02:05] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar hangs back, looking around the sewer for evidence of rats.
[02:05] <Broose> "I wonder where they've all gone off too. They must have been here not long ago."
[02:06] <Broose> to*
[02:06] <Vatican> Tiny remains cautious, pulling out his bow "I don't like it" He shakes his head.
[02:07] <lorelee> How is Einar looking for evidence of rats?
[02:08] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar is just scanning the floor, looking for tracks, hair, evidence of nesting or eating. He also sniffs the air to see if there is any ... rat-smell, I suppose. He also stops and listens, but I doubt he can hear anything over the running water.
[02:08] <lorelee> Roll discern realities.
[02:09] <Vaylon Kenadell> !r 2d6+1
[02:09] <@pagebot> Vaylon: 4=1+2(+1)
[02:09] <joo> Durnish continues to stride forward.
[02:09] <lorelee> Einar is unable to find evidence of rats.
[02:10] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar shakes his head. "No evidence of them so far. Lead on, Durnish! Maybe we'll find them yet."
[02:14] <lorelee> The putrid stench of human waste continues to purvade your sense of smell. As the corridor continues on, the sound of water fades into an echo for a minute or two. Around you, the tunnel is crafted from brick. There is obvious signs of age, with the many cracks that run along the walls.
[02:14] <lorelee> *humanoid waste. *sewage
[02:15] <Broose> Pellias takes careful steps through the corridor, wrinkling his nose.
[02:16] <Vatican> Tiny holds his nose as he walks through "I am not getting paid enough for this..."
[02:17] <lorelee> At the end of the tunnel, is a large room. It appears to be a sewer hub of sorts, with several other tunnels branching off in many directions.
[02:18] <joo> Durnish strides into the centre of the room, and holds his talisman aloft, examining the various exits.
[02:19] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Tiny, if they don't pay us enough, I will personally help you ensure that they rectify that," says Einar with a laugh.
[02:20] <Vatican> Tiny laughs, nervously
[02:20] <lorelee> Water flows through the tunnels, of varying shades of color. A dead animal of some sort sits near the mouth of one of the tunnels.
[02:21] <Broose> Pellias kneels down to examine the dead animal.
[02:21] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar joins Pellias in the exmination.
[02:21] <Vaylon Kenadell> *examination
[02:21] <Broose> "Einar, perhaps you'd be able to identify this?"
[02:21] <Vaylon Kenadell> Can I tell what it is?
[02:22] <lorelee> Discern realities.
[02:24] <Vaylon Kenadell> I'm trying to identify the animal -- that's spout lore.

[02:24] <lorelee> Hmm..rather, spout lore.
[02:24] <@pagebot> Vaylon: 9=2+5(+2)
[02:25] <lorelee> Though clearly half eaten, and badly decomposed, it still bears a slight resemblance to a dog.
[02:27] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar says, "This is a dog... probably." He grimaces. "Perhaps a victim of the rats. We should endeavor not to become the same."
[02:27] <Broose> "Perhaps this tunnel is the best way to go, then." Pellias suggests.
[02:30] <joo> "This is a clear sign from beyond... that we should follow."
[02:30] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Well, then, let's go on." He starts walking down the tunnel, stepping past the fallen dog.
[02:30] <Broose> Pellias goes forward with him.
[02:31] <Vatican> Tiny shakes his head and carrioes on
[02:31] <joo> Durnish follows.
[02:39] <lorelee> As you continue down the tunnel, you can see an increasing amount of evidence of rat activity. Corpses of animals, some less obvious to tell than others, are strewn about. The smell of sewer is slowly becoming more intermingled with that of decaying animals and rats. Speaking of the vermin, you can hear screeching echoes from further down the hall. The echoes make it difficult to tell
[02:39] <lorelee> just how many there might be.
[02:41] <Vaylon Kenadell> "They're down here, all right," says Einar. "Just ahead of us. Are you ready?"
[02:42] <Vatican> Tiny sighs, and notches his bow
[02:42] <Broose> Pellias keeps his hand on the hilt of his sword, moving to the front of the group. "Yes."
[02:43] <joo> Durnish kneels, eyes closed, saying some soft words of prayer while holding his mace before him.
[02:43] <joo> Durnish will cast Bless on himself.

[02:46] <joo> When Durnish stands up, his eyes are ablaze with the light of battle, and he steps forward confidently.
[02:46] <joo> (Oren, presumably, comes beside him)
[02:46] <lorelee> Are you proceeding onwards?
[02:47] <Vaylon Kenadell> Yes, let's go.
[02:47] <Broose> Yes.
[02:47] <Vatican> Tiny mumbles 'Better be worth slogging through a sewer..."
[02:48] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar moves to stand beside Pellias, laughing.
[02:49] <Vaylon Kenadell> He holds his dagger at the ready.
[02:51] <lorelee> As you round the corner, you come to a room. Fairly large, it was barren save for the nest in the center, where a wriggling mass of squeaking brown forms lies. At the sound of your approach, they look up, red eyes gleaming in the freshly lit room.
[02:51] <Vaylon Kenadell> How many rats do we see?
[02:52] <lorelee> There appear to be 8 rats.
[02:53] <Vatican> Tiny lets lose an arrow as his draw drops
[02:53] <Vatican> jaw*
[02:54] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar holds the dagger forward, willing it to grow in intensity, white light spilling from it.
[02:54] <Vaylon Kenadell> *willing the glow to grow
[02:54] <joo> [dagger intensifies]
[02:54] <Broose> Pellias pulls out his blade and holds out his shield. He looks to Einar at his side. "Stay close to me, friend."
[02:54] <Vaylon Kenadell> Does that blind any of them?
[02:56] <lorelee> While the room grows brighter, the rats seem unfazed.
[02:56] <lorelee> Roll volley, Tiny.

[02:57] <@pagebot> Vatican: 10=8(+2) for that arrow
[02:57] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar chuckles fiercely. "Our blades will both strike truly."
[02:57] <joo> Durnish and Oren advance beside Pellias.
[02:59] <lorelee> Tiny, the rat you fire upon is hit in the chest, the arrow burying deeply. While clearly injured, it screeches loudly, and comes charging.
[02:59] <Vaylon Kenadell> Am I near it?
[02:59] <lorelee> It charges for Tiny.
[02:59] <Vaylon Kenadell> Yeah, but am I near it?
[03:00] <Broose> Pellias steps towards the charging rat and swings widely towards it with his sword.
[03:00] <lorelee> No, you are not near.
[03:00] <lorelee> Then yes, it's near. Sorry.
[03:00] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar dives for the rat to stop it from reaching Tiny. He stabs at it with his dagger.

[03:02] <lorelee> Pellias, your sword cleaves the rat in twain. The two pieces fall to the ground with a wet splat.
[03:02] <Broose> Pellias catches the rat with his sword, nearly slicing the injured creature in half!
[03:04] <Broose> Pellias reaches out to help Einarr onto his feet.
[03:04] <lorelee> Einar, a half of the rat goes falling to the ground as your dagger swings, missig the rat by inches.
[03:05] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar flops onto the ground, missing the rat. He scrambles quickly back to his feet thanks to Pellias' help.
[03:05] <Vaylon Kenadell> He glances back toward Tiny and says, "You owe us for that one!" with a grin.
[03:06] <lorelee> Two more rats come running forward, one for Einar, the other for Pellias.
[03:06] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar raises his empty hand and begins to speak words of power.

[04:10] <Vaylon Kenadell> (I have 15/16 HP.)
[04:11] <lorelee> Are we stopping?
[04:11] <joo> I agree to stop.
[04:11] <Vaylon Kenadell> Okay, then.
[04:11] <lorelee> Resting in the sewer until next time, duly noted.
[04:12] <lorelee> Just stopping for now, then?
[04:12] <Broose> !missed-rolls
[04:12] <@pagebot> Missed rolls (estimated): Fatrich: 0 of 1, fatrich: 1 of 4, Broose: 4 of 7, Vatican: 2 of 9, Vaylon: 7 of 12, joo: 3 of 10. Full list: <http://pastebin.com/kQwYh5up>.
[04:16] <lorelee> Bonds.
[04:18] <Vaylon Kenadell> I have three bonds that I wish to form.
[04:18] <Vaylon Kenadell> No, four bonds.
[04:18] <Vaylon Kenadell> [Tiny] will play an important role in the events to come. I have foreseen it!
[04:18] <joo> A halfling prophecy, eh?
[04:19] <Vaylon Kenadell> [Oren] is keeping an important secret from me.
[04:19] <Vaylon Kenadell> [Durnish] is woefully misinformed about the world; I will teach them all that I can.
[04:20] <Vaylon Kenadell> [Pellias'] efforts to defend me prove that he is trustworthy. I owe him a boon.
[04:21] <Vaylon Kenadell> So does everyone agree with my bonds?
[04:21] <Broose> I do.
[04:22] <joo> I agree.
[04:22] <Vatican> AND MY AXE
[04:23] <Broose> Einar is a brave soul, I have much to learn from them.
[04:23] <joo> Pellias has insulted my deity; I do not trust them.
[04:24] <joo> Oren is a good and faithful person; I trust them implicitly.
[04:24] <joo> Einar’s misguided behavior endangers their very soul!
[04:25] <Vaylon Kenadell> I agree with both of those for Einar.
[04:28] * fatrich (~roastmeup@5FBCB8D6.2EAE587.5DC85BC.IP) Quit (Taste the magic of Darjeeling!)
[04:28] <Broose> Tiny's recklessness endangers himself and the party, I will watch over him.
[04:28] <Vaylon Kenadell> party;
[04:28] <joo> Party!
[04:31] <joo> Steal from the fatrich, give to the poor.
[04:32] <Vaylon Kenadell> Hah!
[21:28] * Fatrich (~nobody@NewNet-7BF455D7.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has joined #DungeonWorld
[21:29] <joo> Greetings, Fatrich .
[21:29] <Vaylon Kenadell> Hey, Rich.
[21:29] <Fatrich> Sorry im late .
[21:29] <Vaylon Kenadell> Rich, what is your Skype account?
[21:30] <Fatrich> What i miss
[21:30] <Vaylon Kenadell> Nothing, we're just now starting.
[21:30] <Vatican> I sent what you miss
[21:30] <Vatican> I sent you that text of what happened so far
[21:30] <Vatican> test out skype man.
[21:30] <Fatrich> Oh, not sure if that will work at the same time as this app
[21:30] <Vatican> Thats why we are testing it
[21:31] <Fatrich> ok i gotta check
[21:31] <Vaylon Kenadell> I'll add you as a contact on Skype when you tell me your name.
[21:31] <Vatican> whats your email or whatever for that
[21:33] <lorelee> It is a small, two-story building. The first floor is crafted from stone bricks, and the second floor is made of wooden logs. The main entrance on the first floor has two companymen - one on either side - standing there as guard, to make sure the crowd of hopefuls don't swarm the building. The crowd around you is chattering about the recent raids in Kallel Fen, far to the south, in Ilazah.
[21:33] <lorelee> Many Company members have been called there to bring peace to the region, but troubles persist in Atlavion. Hence the need for recruits.
[21:33] <lorelee> What are you doing right now?
[21:33] * Fatrich (~nobody@NewNet-7BF455D7.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) Quit (Client exited)
[21:35] <Vatican> Tiny stands in the building, his keen eyes making note of the various people within, looking for possibly easy pockets to pick.
[21:35] * Fatrich (~nobody@NewNet-7BF455D7.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has joined #DungeonWorld
[21:36] <Fatrich> Yeah i got kicked from here when testing it
[21:36] <lorelee> Do any of you know each other already?
[21:36] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar has come alone.
[21:36] <joo> So, Fatrich, Durnish and Oren travelled here together, right?
[21:37] <Broose> Pellias has made his way through the crowd, standing out from most of the others with his full set of old, worn armor. He stands alone in the building, waiting patiently.
[21:37] <Fatrich> We can make that work
[21:38] <joo> Maybe Durnish came with Oren in order to carry Thrumnur's blessing with the quest. Dwarves must stick together when in foreign lands.
[21:39] <Fatrich> I like it ..... Ill watch ur back
[21:41] <Vaylon Kenadell> A slightly overweight man in unusual green robes is there within the crowd. He stands a head above most others. His wavy brown hair is long and carefully brushed. Around his neck is a piece of twine; threaded through it is some type of amulet made of woven twigs.
[21:42] <joo> Durnish surveys the clamouring crowd, his mace resting on one shoulder. He turns to Oren. "Is this the place?"
[21:43] <Fatrich> Oren " I think it is"
[21:44] <joo> Durnish gives a "hmph" sound, and starts to shoulder his way into the crowd, casting dark glances here and there.
[21:44] <Vaylon Kenadell> He looks at the crowd and laughs, possibly at some private jest. He listens to the rumors about Kallel Fen -- what do I hear?
[21:45] <joo> (A sketch of Durnish: i.imgur.com/BF40K7m.jpg)
[21:45] <lorelee> The building is lightly furnished. It's a large, square room. Opposite the side of the door is a medium-sized desk, with a thin, aging man sitting behind it. On the left side of the room is a fireplace, currently unlit. In front of the man's desk is a youth of scrawny appearance. The man sitting scowls at him, waving him away. The youth walks off in dejection, and the seated man calls
[21:45] <lorelee> over the next applicant. "Next!" he calls out.
[21:46] <Fatrich> Oren follows behind oren says "Outta the way"
[21:49] <lorelee> Einar, you hear that Kallel Fen has recently been prey to attacks by mages weilding strange magic. Alongside them have been strange creatures, looking like humanoid rats.
[21:49] <Broose> Pellias looks over the other applicants in the room, in no rush to get to the front desk.
[21:50] <Fatrich> Oren eager to join trys to make way up front
[21:52] <joo> Durnish strides next to Oren up to the desk, and stares at the man behind it, remaining silent for now.
[21:53] <lorelee> The man behind the desk looks up at Oren as he approaches. He says nothing a moment, looking the dwarf over briefly. "Name?" he says, looking down at a piece of parchment on the desk in front of him. Glancing over at Durnish, he adds, "Yours, too."
[21:53] <Broose> Pellias nods politely to the two dwarves as they enter, though raises an eyebrow when the younger one rushes forward.
[21:54] <joo> "Durnish Deephammer", he intones.
[21:54] <Fatrich> Oren says "Oren Copperbeard!"
[21:54] <Vatican> Tiny stands behind two strange smelling dwarves. He makes note of the wicked looking flail on one of them, and decides to not attempt to investigate their purses
[21:55] <Broose> Pellias eventually steps forward, standing behind the little halfling.
[21:55] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar listens to the rumors -- keeping in mind the nature of rumors -- in interest. "Hmm!" He approaches Pellias, falling into line last. "Pardon me, friend, but I see that you, too, are one of the hopefuls who have come for work. Do you happen to know where they will be sent?"
[21:59] <Fatrich> Oren looks at the halfling and smiles and says to Durnish "This one dont know what he gettin himself into"
[22:00] <lorelee> The man nods, scribbling out the names on the parchment. "Right, then. Welcome to the Blackwood Company, boys." He says, pulling out a key and unlocking a box on the table. Inside are a number of pendants. He hands two of them over to the dwarves. The pendants appear to be gold, and bear the symbol of a crow in flight.
[22:00] <joo> Durnish smirks.
[22:00] <Broose> Pellias turns, bowing his head in greeting. "I do not know, my friend. Perhaps we will be sent straight to the south. Or maybe we'll be proven with some local work, first." He shrugs. "Pardon me, I am afraid I cannot be of much help."
[22:01] <Vatican> Tiny smorks and shakes his head at the comment
[22:01] <Vatican> smirks*
[22:02] <lorelee> The pendants are on a chain. The man wears one of his own around his neck.
[22:03] <joo> Durnish takes the pendant and puts it on brusquely, but making sure it doesn't touch the talisman already hanging there. "Where now?"
[22:03] <Fatrich> Oren grabs the pendant and says "Thanks"
[22:04] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar nods to Pellias. "Well, perhaps they will not take me. I lack the hardened look of a warrior."
[22:04] <lorelee> "You will receive your assignments shortly," he says to the pair. His attention returns to the crowd, and he bellows out a loud "Next!".
[22:06] <Fatrich> Oren looks at durnish and says "Wanna grab a drink"
[22:06] <joo> "Very well!"
[22:06] <joo> "I would like to see if these... people can brew a proper ale."
[22:06] <Vatican> Tiny shoves his way forward past the dwarves. He looks at the too tall desk, frown, and hops onto it, taking a seat on the edge. "Tiny's the name, and Adventuring my game!":
[22:07] <Broose> Pellias looks the well-fed man over, and says politely: "Perhaps not, but you must surely have some prowess, else why have you come here?"
[22:07] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar starts laughing at the halfling's antics.
[22:07] <Fatrich> oren says "i dought it. ha!"
[22:08] <joo> Did we see any taverns nearby on our way here?
[22:09] <Fatrich> Oren says while scraching his head " you know i dont remember"
[22:09] <Vaylon Kenadell> That wasn't roleplay on joo's part -- he was asking the GM.
[22:10] <lorelee> The record-keeper looks down over the desk at the halfling a moment, sitting up in surprise when the halfling jumps up to sit on the table. He raises an eyebrow at the halfling. "Tiny? And what makes you qualified to join the Blackwood Company?" he asks.
[22:10] <Fatrich> lol oops
[22:10] <joo> Yes. Unless I fuck it up (which I have done), only things in quotes are dialogue.
[22:10] <Vaylon Kenadell> Turning back to Pellias, Einar strokes the amulet around his neck. "Well, I have faith. For me to have survived this long, the gods must be watching over me, as do they all."
[22:11] <lorelee> You saw a few taverns. The closest you can recall are the Scarlet Star Inn and the Dancing Mug Tavern.
[22:11] <Vatican> Tiny laughs "I'm sure you could hire a hundred brutey bloaks to smash something down, but when you need something done RIGHT, your gonna want someone like me, see?" Tiny winks
[22:12] <Broose> Pellias smiles. "Indeed, sir!"
[22:12] <Vaylon Kenadell> The amulet on Einar's neck looks like this: img1.etsystatic.com/017/0/6259313/il_570xN.526206969_eap9.jpg (Don't click this link, Rich.)
[22:12] <Vaylon Kenadell> Indeed, it looks like it was freshly-made.
[22:13] <joo> "How about that Dancing Mug tavern, then?"
[22:15] <Fatrich> Oren says "thats fine"
[22:15] <lorelee> The man gives a low hum of thought, scratching his chin a moment. Shrugging, he says, "Welcome to the Company, you'll receive your assignment shortly." Handing Tiny a pendant and adding his name to the surprisingly short list in front of him, he calls out for the next applicant.
[22:16] <Vaylon Kenadell> "After you, sir." Einar smiles at the paladin.
[22:16] <Vatican> Tiny smiles and hops off the table, making his way out of the building
[22:17] <Broose> Pellias nods, stepping forward to the desk.
[22:17] <joo> Durnish squeezes his way out of exit of the building, then makes for The Dancing Mug. He steps into the tavern and examines its interior.
[22:18] <Fatrich> Oren follows behind
[22:19] <lorelee> The record-keeper looks up at Pellias' approach, eyes widening in surprise. "Lord Pellias?" he asks, rising to offer a bow. "It is a pleasure to have you here in the guildhall, we bid you welcome."
[22:19] <Vatican> Tiny finds himself with a desire for ale. He makes note of the dwarves entering a nearby tavern, shrugs, and decides to see what lies within
[22:20] <Broose> Pellias waves a hand dismissively. "Ah, sir, I am but a knight with no land of my own. You honor me beyond my due."
[22:21] <Fatrich> Oren goes up to the bar and says "Let me two of your finest!!!!"
[22:22] <Vaylon Kenadell> Women or mugs of ale?
[22:22] <joo> Hahah.
[22:22] <Fatrich> have*
[22:23] <Fatrich> women lol
[22:23] <lorelee> The Dancing Mug is a grungy little tavern, known for its quality drinks - but the food is said to be less than savory. Currently, it is crowded, with a couple of barmaids rushing about to ensure the patrons receive their drinks.
[22:25] <Vatican> Tiny blinks in surprise at the large amount of too tall people. He sighs, cracks his knuckles, and decides to see about making some coin. He makes his way through the crowd, looking for a quite drunk customer
[22:25] <lorelee> "As you say, my lo--...sir, as you say," the man replies, returning to his seat. "I take it you wish to join the Company? Of course you do, of course you do." He pulls out a pendant. "By what name shall I list you for, sir?"
[22:25] <joo> Durnish walks up to an empty table that was about to be taken by someone else, but stares at them until they go away, then takes a seat.
[22:27] <lorelee> Tiny, you see a man sitting at a table, half-passed out with his hand on a tankard of ale. He seems oblivious to the activity of the tavern.
[22:27] <Broose> Pellias nods patiently. "Pellias Mourne, friend." He reaches out for the pendant.
[22:28] <Vatican> Tiny smiles, and nonchalantly makes his way towards the past out drunk. Tiny decides to help himself to the mans purse!
[22:29] <lorelee> The book-keeper nods, adding the name to the list. "Right sir, right. Glad to have you, sir," he says, giving a nod of his head. "Next," he calls, motioning the next applicant forward.
[22:29] <Vatican> !roll 2d6+2 To get some coin from the drunk
[22:29] <@pagebot> Vatican: 9=1+6(+2) To get some coin from the drunk
[22:33] <lorelee> Alright, Tiny. You can pick his pocket, but have someone else in the tavern see you do it, or you can try to pick the pocket and the drunk upends his drink on you.
[22:34] <Vatican> I chose to have someone notice me
[22:35] <Broose> Pellias takes his pendant, putting it on but keeping his holy symbol prominent in the center.
[22:35] <Broose> He steps aside to make room for Einar.
[22:36] <Vaylon Kenadell> What time of day is it, lorelee?
[22:36] <lorelee> A passing barmaid sees you sticking your hand down a drunk patron's pockets. "Ruddy little thief," she shouts, hitting you with an empty serving tray. "Get out."
[22:37] <lorelee> It is currently early afternoon.
[22:37] <joo> The shout draws Durnish's attention, and he stares with idle interest.
[22:37] <Fatrich> Oren looks to see whats going on
[22:37] <Vaylon Kenadell> Is Tiny in the same bar as Oren and Durnish?
[22:37] <Vatican> Yes
[22:38] <lorelee> Tiny got 3 coins from the drunk.
[22:38] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar walks up to the desk, bowing low. "Good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm here to apply to join -- the name is Einar Sindri."
[22:40] <Vatican> Tiny rubs his head "Oi there, miss! Me and old Rafnar have know eachother for ages, see! I saved his life from the rat men in Kallen Fen! He saved me from a crazy wizard! Surley you would not hound old freinds helping eachother to some ale?, would you miss?" He offers up a charming smile at the woman as he rubs his head
[22:42] <lorelee> The book-keeper, looks up at Einar, raising an eyebrow at his appearance. "We do not receive very many holy men, and certainly not of your age."
[22:42] <lorelee> Also, the place is Kallal Fen. For future reference.
[22:43] <lorelee> Roll defy danger +cha Tiny.
[22:44] <lorelee> Who ordered ale thus far at the Tavern?
[22:44] <Vatican> !roll 2d6+1 To convince this barmaid of my bullshit
[22:44] <@pagebot> Vatican: 3=1+1(+1) To convince this barmaid of my bullshit
[22:44] <joo> Nice roll!
[22:44] <Vatican> She has seen right through me!
[22:44] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar smiles. "Well, who better needs to hear words of courage and peace than men in danger? We go into danger to save them from a greater one."
[22:44] <joo> Just Oren, I believe.
[22:44] <Fatrich> Oren says" I did,Over here"
[22:45] <Vaylon Kenadell> That was just a GM question, Rich. You don't have to answer in-character.
[22:45] <lorelee> The barmaid frowns. "Lond ain
[22:45] <Fatrich> sorry guys
[22:46] <Vaylon Kenadell> Nah, it's fine, Rich. Everyone falls on their first jump.
[22:46] <Broose> If it's not in quotes, just assume it's out of character.
[22:47] <Fatrich> ok
[22:47] <lorelee> The barmaid frowns. "Lond ain't never been nowhere south of Denerim, and you ain't never setting a foot inside here again!" Grabbing your arm, the barmaid hauls you from the tavern, tossing you from the door and out to the street. "And stay out!" she calls, returning to work.
[22:48] <Vatican> Tiny rubs his head as he is tossed out of the tavern. He laughs, shrugs, and puts the coins in his purse as he walks off
[22:49] <lorelee> The tavern's finest drinks are sent over to Oren. It is sky blue with black swirls and chunks of meat floating in it. The drink smells nice and tastes sour.
[22:51] <Fatrich> Oren heads toDurnish and says "They call this there finest?" and hands durnish one
[22:53] <lorelee> The book-keeper nods in agreement. "That is a good point. All men need faith." Adding Einar's name to the list, and handing him a pendant, he tells him the same - assignments will be given shortly. "Welcome the the Company."
[22:53] <Vatican> Tiny makes his way back to the Blackwood building
[22:53] <joo> Durnish takes his drink and stares at it skeptically for a while. "Are those chunks of meat?"
[22:54] <Fatrich> Oren says "It appears so"and takes a gulp
[22:55] <joo> Durnish touches his finger to his holy talisman, speaking a short prayer, then takes a draught of the drink.
[22:55] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Oh, thank you." Einar takes the pendant and then removes the twig amulet, stowing it somewhere within the voluminous folds of his robes. He puts on the golden Blackwood Company pendant and then turns to Pellias. "Well, then, friend -- Pellias, if I heard correctly -- where did the others go?"
[22:56] <joo> He sets down the mug again firmly, with a thoughtful expression. "Disgusting."
[22:56] <Fatrich> Oren is gorssed out cuz he has to chew his ale
[22:57] <Vaylon Kenadell> Hahaha.
[22:57] <lorelee> A barmaid passes by the table where Oren and Durnish are seated. "How'd you like the special?" she asks, smiling. "Can I get you anything else?"
[22:57] <Broose> Pellias shrugs. "I cannot say. A rowdy bunch, it seemed like. I wonder if we'll all be sent out together."
[22:58] <joo> Durnish replies to the barmade. "Yes! A mug of proper ale, if you please, not this swill!"
[22:59] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar laughs. "I don't know -- I should like to have that halfling, Tiny, around. I don't doubt he could cheer us up in a rough place."
[22:59] <joo> *barmaid
[22:59] <Fatrich> Oren says "Next time hold the chunks hahaha!!!!!"
[22:59] <Vatican> Tiny walks in, and notices the two humans who were in line behind him, he walk up to them and gives them a cheerful greeting "Hello there! Were you two able to find employment with blackwood as well?"
[22:59] <joo> Durnish glances at Oren. "Though it does appear to be strong enough!"
[23:00] <lorelee> The barmaid smiles. "Yes, the special doesn't agree with everyone. Two ales, coming right up, sirs," she says, before heading off again.
[23:01] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar bows to Tiny. "Ah, I had just mentioned you, sir. Where do you come from?"
[23:01] <Broose> Pellias smiles. "Ah, perhaps you are right, sir. I was too quick to judge." He looks as Tiny comes back into the guildhall. "Indeed we have. I wonder when we'll be given our assignments."
[23:01] <Fatrich> Oren says "not even close "
[23:02] <Vatican> Tiny shrugs "I suspect it will be soon enough, if they are just advertising the need for help publicly like this"
[23:04] <Fatrich> yo guys not to get off subject but i just turned 30 its my birthday
[23:04] <lorelee> Happy birthday.
[23:04] <Broose> Happy birthday!
[23:04] <Vaylon Kenadell> Happy birthday, Rich.
[23:04] <Vatican> You old
[23:05] <Vatican> Aint nobody got time for that
[23:05] <joo> Thrumnur the Silent is pleased that you are one year closer to Death.
[23:05] <Fatrich> thanks guys
[23:05] <Fatrich> ugh me to no more 20s
[23:08] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar glances from Tiny to Pellias and then coughs a little. "Well -- so, each man has a forte, they say. What are yours, if you do not mind my asking so?"
[23:09] <lorelee> As time wears on, the crowds around the guildhall shrink bit by bit. Once the last applicant has left, this one without a guild pendant, the book-keeper rises from his seat, stretching after spending so much time seated. Sighing, he locks the pendant box back up. Picking up his list, he looks it over a moment. Nodding, he turns to the three standing around the room. "You three," he begins.
[23:09] <lorelee> "You will need to find the other two of your group, but your first job with the Company is this."
[23:10] <Vatican> Tiny looks around, realizes the man is addressing him, and listens
[23:11] <lorelee> "We have had reports of rats in the cellars of the inns. You are tasked with finding the source of the rodents, and eradicating this nuisance."
[23:13] <Broose> "I was trained in the sword and shield and little else, I'm afraid." Pellias replies, before turning to give his full attention to the book-keeper.
[23:13] <lorelee> "Do you understand?" the man finishes, looking at the three in turn.
[23:13] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar chuckles. "I did not know when we signed up that we would be working as ratcatchers. Perhaps a few cats would be less costly!"
[23:14] <Fatrich> Oren asked durnish when do you think we'll hear about our first job?"
[23:15] <lorelee> The man chuckles. "You might not be so lively when you see the extent of the problem. Report back here when you've finished, and you'll get your pay."
[23:15] <Broose> Pellias nods. "Yes, sir. Which inns have been infested?"
[23:16] <joo> "I wasn't clear about that," Durnish replies, "but I judge we should ask back at that place, eventually."
[23:17] <Fatrich> "lets finish our drink and head back"
[23:17] <joo> Durnish drains the rest of his mug of ale, thumping it down onto the table. "Ah! Not bad."
[23:17] <lorelee> The man thinks a moment. "The Singing King, The Leaping Wench, and the Dancing Mug."
[23:18] <Fatrich> Oren finishes his drink and lets out a mighty burp
[23:19] <Broose> Pellias turns to his companions. "Are any of you familiar with those inns?"
[23:20] <Fatrich> oh can i say i have a flask?
[23:20] <Vatican> Tiny says "I have payed a visit to the Dancing Mug. Quite a fine establishment! The Barmaids are a little hands on, but, still"
[23:20] * Vaylon Kenadell gags. "Beer from a flask?"
[23:21] <lorelee> I don't see why not.
[23:21] <lorelee> It's not a stretch of an idea
[23:21] <Fatrich> ok cool
[23:21] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar says, "Not I -- I tend to avoid such establishments!"
[23:23] <Fatrich> Oren stops at the bar before leaving and says fill it with the strongest liquor"
[23:23] <Broose> "Hmm. Do you know where our fellow recruits went?" He asks of Tiny.
[23:23] <Fatrich> and holds out his flask
[23:24] <lorelee> Oren, the barkeep eyes you. "That'll be a coin, boy-o," he says, holding out his palm.
[23:24] <Fatrich> i picked to start with 22 coins
[23:25] <Vaylon Kenadell> Okay, then what does Oren do?
[23:25] <Fatrich> Oren pays the barkeep
[23:26] <lorelee> The barkeep takes the coin, biting down on the piece of money. Apparently satisfied, he pockets the coin and fills Oren's flask.
[23:26] <joo> It's not chocolate money!
[23:27] <Fatrich> Oren looks at durnish and says "Lets go "
[23:27] <joo> Durnish nods, and follows Oren.
[23:29] <lorelee> Alright, where is everyone going, then? Oren and Durnish are on their way back to the guildhall and the rest of your are on the way to the inn?

[23:30] <Vaylon Kenadell> Hold on a minute -- we lost Vatican.
[23:34] * Vatican (6c34548b@NewNet-FCD034EA.mibbit.com) has joined #DungeonWorld
[23:34] <Vatican> Tiny says "I believe they went to the Dancing Mug tavern, in fact!"
[23:35] <lorelee> Alright, where is everyone going, then? Oren and Durnish are on their way back to the guildhall and the rest of your are on the way to the inn?
[23:35] <Broose> Pellias raises an eyebrow. "Hmm, such initiative! Let's go meet them, then."
[23:35] <joo> The first fact is certainly correct/
[23:36] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar chuckles at Pellias' words. "Yes, indeed. Let's go meet up with them."
[23:36] <lorelee> On the way to the inn, Tiny, Pellias, and Einar encounter Durnish and Oren on the road.
[23:38] <Fatrich> "Look durnish its the halfling that got caught stealing"
[23:39] <Broose> Pellias gives their halfling companion a strange look.
[23:39] <joo> Durnish stops and looks over the other three, then chuckles. "Ah! So it is. How go your exploits, little fellow?"
[23:39] <Vatican> Tiny facepalms
[23:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> As they walk, Einar considers the nature of rats. "Vicious little vermin. They can be quite a hassle, I know -- but I wonder what that man meant when he said, 'the extent of the problem,'" he muses aloud.
[23:40] <Vatican> Tiny says "If your friend were any louder, I wont have any pockets left to pick! Shhh!"
[23:41] <Vatican> Tiny conues "I was obviously scouting the place for the rat vermin we have just been contracted to eliminate, good dwarf!"
[23:41] <Vatican> continues*
[23:41] <Fatrich> Oren laughs and shakes his head
[23:41] <lorelee> Roll charisma Tiny.
[23:41] <joo> "Rat vermin? So, you didn't get accepted and had to take a lesser job." He laughs, and starts to walk off toward the guild building. "Good luck with that."
[23:42] <Vatican> He finishes "That poor man had lapsed into deep unconsciousness. His coins were spilling out of his purse, and I attempted to assist him in returning them, when that foolish barmaid misunderstood my most noble of intentions!"
[23:42] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar gestures everyone to gather around. He calls to Durnish. "No, half a moment! We've been ordered to deal with a -- well, a rat infestation at three inns near here."
[23:42] <Broose> "Not so fast, friend." Pellias says, to Durnish.
[23:42] <Vatican> !roll 2d6+1 more bullshit
[23:42] <@pagebot> Vatican: 7=4+2(+1) more bullshit
[23:44] <joo> Durnish turns and knits his brow. "Ah... well, let's get it over with, then."
[23:44] <Fatrich> Oren says "What!?, Rats!?"
[23:44] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar shrugs his shoulders. "The bookkeeper insinuated that the problem may be more difficult than it sounds."
[23:45] <Vatican> Tiny looks at the too loud dwarf "Yes, rats! Who would have thought! How was that ale, by the way?" Tiny smirks
[23:46] <joo> "Maybe that's where that meat came from."
[23:46] <Fatrich> Oren shrugs and says "It wasnt bad for human ale "
[23:46] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Well -- are we all familiar with the little vermin, or shall I consult a bestiary?" He chuckles.
[23:47] <Vaylon Kenadell> "At any rate, the bookkeeper listed three inns that we will have to check: The Singing King, The Leaping Wench, and the Dancing Mug. Which is closest?"
[23:49] <Vatican> Tiny says "The Dancing mug...I think. However, I might not be so welcome back.."
[23:50] <Broose> Pellias looks down at Tiny with a frown. "I should ask you not to make trouble during a contract, in the future."
[23:50] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar shakes his head. "Yes, so I have gathered by now." He glances toward Oren and Durnish. He takes a particular interest to Durnish's holy symbol.
[23:50] <Vatican> Tiny shrugs "Not my fault the barmaid cannot see straight"
[23:51] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Excuse me, brother, but what does that represent?" He gestures to the object around Durnish's neck.
[23:51] <Fatrich> Oren says to tiny "Maybe we should go there last they might forget b
[23:52] <Fatrich> about you by then"
[23:52] <lorelee> The bells of the clocktower at the center of the city ring the hour. Four chimes sound, the afternoon is beginning to wear on.
[23:52] <Vatican> Tiny nods "Good idea, dwarf!"
[23:53] <Broose> "It cannot be helped, I suppose." Pellias says. "The Leaping Wench or The Singing King, then."
[23:53] <joo> Durnish returns Einar's look with sudden intensity. He raises the talisman up with on hand, so that it glints in the light. "This represents the works of Thrumnur the Silent, Lord of all underneath your feet!"
[23:55] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Hmm." Einar leans down and peers at the dodecahedron. "I shall have to ask you more about your god sometime, when we have a moment."
[23:55] <Vaylon Kenadell> "I am Einar Sindri, by the way."
[23:56] <Vatican> Tiny gestures to himself "Tiny, just Tiny will do"
[23:56] <joo> Durnish nods. "I shall be telling you a lot more in time, I think. Durnish Deephammer, Priest of Thrumnur!"
[23:57] <Broose> Pellias looks suddenly to his fellow recruits. "Ah! I forget myself. I am Pellias Mourne."
[23:57] <Fatrich> "The name's Oren Copperbeard"
[23:58] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar draws back and looks over the rest of the party. "Durnish, Oren, Tiny, Pellias." He repeats the names a few more times, closing his eyes.
[23:58] <joo> "Ah, it's that dainty-looking boy from before. Are you some kind of noble's son?"
[23:58] <lorelee> Shouts come from somewhere further down the street. You're too far away to make out any words from where you are standing.
[23:59] <Fatrich> Oren says "You guys hear that?"
[00:00] <joo> Durnish turns his gaze in the direction of the shouts, shading his eyes with a hand.
[00:00] <Broose> Pellias seems unfazed by Durnish's comment. "Indeed. Though that life is in my past, now." He looks to the source of the noise. "Hm."
[00:01] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar opens his eyes and, like Durnish, shades them with a hand, peering down the street. "What is it?"
[00:02] <Vatican> Tiny says "Welp, only one way to find out, chaps!" He bounds down the street towards the sound
[00:03] <joo> Durnish follows.
[00:03] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar does a double-take at the quick halfling, and he begins to walk briskly in that direction. "Forth!"
[00:03] <Fatrich> Oren follows
[00:03] <Broose> Pellias advances with the others, looking carefully at their surroundings.
[00:05] <lorelee> As you get close to the source of the noise, the shouts become clearer. You can clearly hear the word "rat" intermingled in the shouting. Down the road a bit, a few people are gathered, clearly fearful of something down an alley.
[00:06] <Vatican> Tiny slows his pace, and readies his bow, he looks back "Looks like we have rats in the open!"
[00:06] <joo> Durnish hefts his mace. "Do you see any?"
[00:07] <Fatrich> Oren says "finally a finght!"
[00:07] <Vaylon Kenadell> "This is highly unusual behavior."
[00:07] <Vatican> Tiny looks down the Alley. What does he see?
[00:09] <lorelee> Three large rodents, the size of wolves, loom at the end of the alley. The squeak loudly, and peer back at you with red eyes.
[00:10] <Vatican> Tiny yelps at the sight of the rats, and lets fly an arrow at one
[00:10] <joo> Durnish turns a fierce glare against the rats, then starts striding towards the alley, clasping his talisman with his off-hand.
[00:10] <joo> Durnish is going to cast Magic Weapon on his mace.
[00:10] <lorelee> Tiny roll volley.
[00:11] <Vatican> !roll 2d6+2 to hit a rat
[00:11] <@pagebot> Vatican: 10=3+5(+2) to hit a rat
[00:11] <Fatrich> Oren says "By the tits of my ancestors thats a big ass rat!!!"
[00:11] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Definitely highly unusual." Einar stops a bit behind everyone and starts rummaging through his backpack. "Just a minute -- I've got to see if there's anything about this in one of my books on rodents."
[00:11] <lorelee> Alright, roll damage, tiny.

[00:12] <Fatrich> Oren readys his shield and stars sipning his flail
[00:12] <Vaylon Kenadell> Please PM me what I discover.
[00:12] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar finally finds the book he was looking for and begins to consult it, leafing through it slowly.
[00:12] <Broose> Pellias pulls out his sword and reaches for his shield. "Clear the way!" He says to anyone gathered by the alley, and charges towards the rats.
[00:13] <joo> Durnish grits his teeth, but continues striding to the rats, preparing to swing it at the nearest rat's head.
[00:13] <lorelee> Tiny, you hit one with an arrow, but it simply screeches at you.
[00:13] <joo> *the mace
[00:13] <Fatrich> Oren takes off running towards the rats and trys to bash one in the head
[00:14] <Fatrich> I roll now right???
[00:14] <Broose> Pellias swings his sword at the rat in the middle of the group, keeping his shield up.

[00:16] <Broose> The one in the middle of the pack.
[00:16] <Fatrich> the cloest
[00:16] <joo> Durnish is attacking the same one as Fatrich.
[00:16] <joo> Er... I mean... the same one as TIny.
[00:17] <Vatican> now damage, rich
[00:17] <joo> Durnish presses the attack, and deals an extra 1d6 damage!

[00:18] <joo> Leave out the space next time, Fatrich.
[00:18] <Fatrich> ok
[00:20] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Hmm, interesting." After reading for about a minute, Einar stows the book in his pack, then turns to watch the action. "Good work!"
[00:21] <lorelee> Durnish swings his mace at the rat, sending it into the wall. It slams into the wall. It limps back up after a moment, clearly heavily injured.
[00:23] <Vaylon Kenadell> During the fighting, Einar looks around the alley, walking back and forth between the buildings. I'm trying to discover, if I can, where the rats came from.
[00:23] <lorelee> The rat limps toward you, Durnish, it's jaws opening to bite down.
[00:23] <Vaylon Kenadell> Uh -- he doesn't go too far back into the alley, however, toward the fighting.
[00:23] <lorelee> !roll d4
[00:23] <@pagebot> lorelee: 3
[00:25] <lorelee> Durnish, the rat bites into your arm.
[00:25] <joo> Durnish grabs the rat with his free hand and slams it to the ground before stomping on it with a heavy boot.
[00:27] <Vaylon Kenadell> Fatrich, your hack and slash roll is 2d6+2, and your damage roll is 1d10+1.
[00:27] <Vaylon Kenadell> You got a 10 just now on your hack and slash roll.
[00:27] <Vaylon Kenadell> So we can just subtract 1 from your damage roll.
[00:28] <lorelee> Oren, you hit the rat solidly with your flail. It squeaks at you, but is undeterred.
[00:28] <Fatrich> ok sorry about that i got excited to fight lol
[00:29] <lorelee> Einar, sounds like discern realities. Roll for it.
[00:29] <lorelee> Durnish, you feel the rat's skull shatter beneath your foot.
[00:31] <Fatrich> I wanna try to finish this thing off i wanna swing my glail down on its head ahain
[00:31] <Vaylon Kenadell> !r 2d6+1 Einar's Discern Realities
[00:31] <@pagebot> Vaylon: 7=5+1(+1) Einar's Discern Realities

[00:31] <lorelee> The third rat leaps towards Oren, jaws open.
[00:32] <lorelee> !roll d4
[00:32] <@pagebot> lorelee: 3
[00:32] <lorelee> It's teeth are unable to break through his armor, however.
[00:32] <Fatrich> I put up my shield and tyr to block
[00:32] <Fatrich> try*
[00:33] <Vatican> you dont need to block
[00:33] <Vaylon Kenadell> Well, no, isn't Fatrich just discribing what he does, right?
[00:33] <lorelee> Einar, what question are you asking?
[00:33] <Vaylon Kenadell> Okay, I got a 7. I get to ask one question from the discern realities list. The question I'll ask is: "What is about to happen?"
[00:37] <Fatrich> I wanna finish this thing
[00:37] <lorelee> Pellias, your blade sliced a deep gash into the rat's side. It begins bleeding profusely onto the ground
[00:37] <Fatrich> Oren swing downward with his flail
[00:38] <Broose> Pellias swings his blade towards rat's head, hoping to put it out of its misery.
[00:40] <lorelee> The rat falls to the blows, the creature landing on the ground with a thud.
[00:41] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar walks past the fighting, peering all about the alleyway.
[00:41] <lorelee> The three rats lay in blood-covered heaps in the alley.
[00:41] <lorelee> Silence settles.
[00:41] <Vaylon Kenadell> He gets down on one knee near the back of the alley, peering down at a sewer grate. "There are more squeaks coming from here."
[00:42] <Broose> Pellias sheathes his blade, looking off towards Einar. "You are sure?"
[00:42] <joo> "Are these the same rats we were commissioned to slay?"
[00:42] <Vaylon Kenadell> What buildings is this alleyway near?
[00:43] <lorelee> You are certain that you passed the Singing King as you approached the alley.
[00:44] <Fatrich> Oren says " I hope there's more rats to slay"
[00:44] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Yes, I'm certain I heard it." He says to Durnish, "I do not know."
[00:44] <joo> Does that mean the Singing King is right next to the alley?
[00:44] <lorelee> Yes.
[00:45] <Vaylon Kenadell> He stands, dusting off his robes. "Perhaps we should first investigate the inn itself."
[00:45] <Broose> Pellias nods. "That is wise. The owner will know more about this than us."
[00:46] <Vaylon Kenadell> It's almost 2 AM your time, Fatrich. Are you all right with the rest of us playing while you aren't here?
[00:46] <Fatrich> "Lets check t out"
[00:47] <lorelee> So, you're going into the inn?
[00:47] <Vaylon Kenadell> Yes, let's go into the Singing King.
[00:47] <Broose> Yes.
[00:47] <Fatrich> Im still going strong
[00:48] <joo> Durnish shrugs, then takes his foot off the crushed rat's head, and walks toward the inn entrance. "Very well."
[00:48] <Fatrich> yeah im good to go i still wanna play
[00:49] <Vaylon Kenadell> As they walk, Einar begins explaining what he read in the book. "These ... things are definitely abnormal. Rats don't grow to this size on their own, naturally."
[00:49] <Vatican> Tiny facepalms
[00:49] <joo> "Really?"
[00:50] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Haha, yes. I certainly didn't expect to see rats of this size when I woke up this morning."
[00:50] <Fatrich> "Are they mutiated some how then?"
[00:51] <Vaylon Kenadell> I'm not sure "mutated" is a concept that our characters would be familiar with.
[00:51] <Vaylon Kenadell> But they might say something like "transformed" or "corrupted" or something.
[00:51] <Vaylon Kenadell> Something medieval-ish, yeah?
[00:52] <Fatrich> ok good call
[00:52] <Vaylon Kenadell> "And I have read that the fur of these creatures is in style among the wealthy."
[00:54] <Broose> Pellias steps into the inn and looks for the owner.
[00:54] <Vatican> Tiny perks up upon hearing that
[00:54] <joo> "The Wealthy pay more respect to the Dead's rightful owner."
[00:54] <joo> *should pay
[00:55] <Fatrich> Oren heads into the inn
[00:55] <lorelee> The Singing King is a large sized inn. It is crowded when you enter, and it is easy to see why: a fair-haired elven lad is strumming a harp in one corner of the room. A girl stands beside him, singing a beautiful song. The barkeep, a rotund human woman, is cleaning the countertop.
[00:55] <Vaylon Kenadell> He laughs. "The wealthy have other means of paying than respect." And with that, he goes into the inn.
[00:56] <joo> Durnish follows with a stony silence.
[00:56] <lorelee> The girl bears elven appearance.
[00:57] <joo> owlvs
[00:57] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Ah, a song. I should love to stay and listen."
[00:57] <lorelee> Upon your entry, the bartender doesn't look up from her activity.
[00:59] <Broose> "Hail," Pellias says to the bartender. "We came here about the rat problem."
[01:00] <lorelee> The woman gives Pellias a glance. "Blackwood send ya? Finally." She sets the rag down, motioning the group to follow her.
[01:01] <Broose> Pellias nods, and follows with her.
[01:01] <Fatrich> Oren follows
[01:02] <joo> Durnish strides heedlessly past Einar and the Elves, and follows behind Pellias.
[01:02] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar follows Pellias, though his attention is still kept on the stage.
[01:02] <Vatican> Tiny shrugs, and followes the line of people following
[01:03] <Fatrich> Oren stares at the elf with a sligt anger in his face
[01:04] <lorelee> The woman leads you to the back of the stockroom, where a door in the floor sits closed. "Been on that lot for a while 'bout the vermin," she mutters, pulling the door open. A wooden staircase leads down, and you can smell musty earth wafting up from below.
[01:05] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar says, "Is there anything we should know about this basement?"
[01:05] <Broose> Pellias takes careful steps down the staircase, sniffing.
[01:07] <joo> Durnish touches his talisman, and calls upon Thrumnur to release its inner light.
[01:07] <joo> !r +2 -- Cast Spell
[01:07] <@pagebot> joo: 9=5+2(+2) -- Cast Spell
[01:07] <lorelee> "There are rats down there, that's what you should know," the barkeep says, crossing her arms. "Been at my stores again, just this morning."
[01:08] <Fatrich> Oren takes a sip from his flask and heads down
[01:09] <Vatican> Tiny heads down the stairs as well
[01:09] <joo> Thrumnur grants the light, but revokes its further use.
[01:10] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar grins. "Very well. Down we go!"
[01:11] <joo> The holy talisman of Thrumnur hanging from Durnish's neck starts to glow with a white light.
[01:11] <joo> He quickly steps down the stair, mace at the ready.
[01:11] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar follows Durnish down. "Close the door behind his, madam -- I do not know what may happen."
[01:11] <Vaylon Kenadell> behind us*
[01:12] <lorelee> Distinction between "holy magic" and wizard magic: wizard magics do not manifest white glows and energies.
[01:12] <joo> "Dark are the many caverns in Thrumnir's domain," he explains, "but he grants to the Faithful revealing light," and closes his eyes with a serene expression.
[01:12] <Vaylon Kenadell> What's in the basement?
[01:13] <lorelee> The barkeep nods. "Good luck," she says, turning and closing the door to the bar behind her.
[01:16] <lorelee> The basement has barrels and boxes stacked on the far side, adjecent to the staircase. The wall opposite the stores has a fair sized hole in the wall.
[01:17] <Broose> Pellias kneels down and peeks into the hole.
[01:17] <joo> Durnish takes the talisman from his neck (wrapping it firmly about his hand), and holds it up to better light the room. He steps carefully towards the hole.
[01:18] <lorelee> The walls are made of stone, and the hole leading to the sewers has cracked and broken bricks and chips of mortar scattered around it.
[01:19] <Fatrich> Oren follows behimg Durnish
[01:19] <Broose> "It leads to the sewers, it looks like." Pellias says. "Though I suppose we already knew that.
[01:21] <joo> "Are we to slay all the rats in the sewer, then?"
[01:21] <Vatican> Tiny says "Well, who wants to go into the scary hole first?"
[01:21] <joo> "Or maybe this stonework just needs some improvement!" He laughs.
[01:21] <Broose> "We are to find out where they're coming from." He says.
[01:22] <Fatrich> "I think just the big ones"
[01:22] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Ah, yes, one other thing I learned: rats nest in groups. Some folk call them 'mischiefs.'" He chuckles a little.
[01:23] <lorelee> You can hear the muffled sounds of the bard's performance coming from above. From the sewers is the echoing sounds of flowig water.
[01:23] <lorelee> *flowing
[01:23] <Broose> Pellias shrugs. "Well, onward, I suppose." He crouches down, and starts to make his way through the hole.
[01:24] <lorelee> The hole is tall enough that the smaller-statured among you can walk at full height with ease. The human sized have to crouch.
[01:25] <joo> Drumnir strides forward.
[01:25] <Vaylon Kenadell> Who?
[01:25] <joo> -_-
[01:25] <joo> Durnish!
[01:26] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar bends over quite far and passes through the hole.
[01:27] <Vatican> Tiny easily enters the hole
[01:29] <Fatrich> Oren turns sideways to fit through cause arms make him too wide to fit
[01:29] <joo> Hahaha
[01:29] <Vaylon Kenadell> Oren lifts.
[01:30] <Fatrich> he's jacked
[01:30] <Vaylon Kenadell> What do we see now that we're on the other side?
[01:31] <lorelee> You are standing on a ledge. Down one side is a ladder, leading down to what is currently a heavy current of water. From the ledge, heading north (to your left) is a pathway heading off into the darkness.
[01:32] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar peers over the edge.
[01:33] <Broose> Pellias stands up and gets his bearings. He scans his eyes over the floor, looking for any signs of the rats.
[01:33] <Broose> !r 2d6+1 Discern realities
[01:33] <@pagebot> Broose: 6=1+4(+1) Discern realities
[01:34] <lorelee> Pellias can find no evidence of recent rat activity.
[01:34] <Fatrich> "I guess we get to go into the darkness " Oren says scarstically
[01:34] <joo> Durnish sets aside his mace, and kneels down to touch his palm to the stone ground.
[01:35] <lorelee> The water, at a glance, doesn't appear that deep.
[01:35] <joo> Durnish will cast the stone version of Words of the Unspeaking, to commune with the spirits of the stone floor, and ask them if they've sensed any rats.
[01:35] <joo> !r +2 -- Cast Spell
[01:35] <@pagebot> joo: 4=1+1(+2) -- Cast Spell
[01:35] <Broose> Pellias shrugs. "Nothing that I can see. Strange."
[01:36] <lorelee> The stones here are silent, Durnish. They speak nothing to you.
[01:36] <joo> He frowns. "The voices of this stone are... distant."
[01:37] <Vaylon Kenadell> For the first time since you have met him, Einar pinches his brows and looks a bit troubled. "Er, well, if I may get your attention --"
[01:37] <Broose> "Ah, I've never known stone to be very talkative. We'll just have to figure this one out on our own."
[01:38] <Broose> Pellias looks to his troubled companion. "Yes?"
[01:38] <joo> Durnish fixes Pelias with a black glare.
[01:39] <Fatrich> Oren stairs at Pellias
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> "The truth of the matter is that I am more powerful than I look." He looks at the rest of the party apologetically. "I do not want you to think me incapable of holding my own against enemies."
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar brings out his dagger and begins to speak a spell.
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> 2d6+2 Light
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> !r 2d6+2 Light
[01:39] <@pagebot> Vaylon: 7=3+2(+2) Light
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> I choose to forget the spell.
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> The dagger grows with white light.
[01:39] <Vaylon Kenadell> *glows
[01:40] <joo> Durnish turns his gaze to Einar. "I thought there was more to you than it seemed."
[01:40] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Ahem, yes, well -- I don't think I have to explain what I'm saying further." He smiles weakly at Durnish..
[01:40] <Broose> Pellias raises an eyebrow. "Another one who communes with the gods?"
[01:41] <Fatrich> "Ha!!!"
[01:41] <Vatican> Tiny looks at Einar suspiciously
[01:41] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Or perhaps I do..." Clearing his throat a bit, he turns to Pellias. "No, er... I have mastered arcane powers of my own."
[01:42] <Vaylon Kenadell> "If this troubles you, then I will leave."
[01:42] <joo> Durnish frowns, his fists slowly clenching.
[01:43] <Broose> Pellias furrows his brow. "I see..."
[01:43] <Vatican> Tiny's tiny jaw drops
[01:43] <joo> "Impossible!" he spits. "No mortal brings forth arcane powers by himself. You are in the favour of some God, but do not know it yet." He turns away, and starts to walk down the path.
[01:45] <Fatrich> Oren follows Durnish
[01:46] <Broose> Pellias looks back briefly to Durnish, concerned. "These are dangerous things to say, friend. I would counsel you to keep them to yourself."
[01:47] <Vatican> Tiny nnos, "Yes, we dont want the law giving us any trouble, ya here?"
[01:47] <Vatican> nods*
[01:48] <Vatican> hear*
[01:48] <Fatrich> Oren catches up with Durnish and wispers yo him "What should we do with em"
[01:48] <Fatrich> to*
[01:49] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar chuckles softly to himself, shrugging. "That went well."
[01:50] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Tiny, did you suspect anything of me up until now? I have lived all these years in Atlavion evading suspicion, but now, in this dangerous task, I felt that I would be revealed regardless. Do you trust me to keep my nature hidden when it must be?"
[01:51] <joo> Durnish grinds his teeth. "It is not for us to bring Thramnur's judgement upon him in haste."
[01:51] <Fatrich> Hay guys hate to do it but im tired as shit would it be ok if Lorelee takes over for me i got work in the morning
[01:52] <Vaylon Kenadell> All right, that's no problem. Good night, Rich.
[01:52] <joo> "But he plays with powers likely beyond his power to control. Should be become a danger, he shall be delivered to the Underworld."
[01:52] <Vatican> Tiny shrugs "I never met a wizard before. How about I trust you enough to know if the Witch Hunters come, You best be forgetting you know me!"
[01:52] <lorelee> Oren nods, falling into step behind Durnish.
[01:53] <Fatrich> thanks guys i had a blast ill have vatican catch me up tomorrow
[01:53] <Vatican> later Fatrich

[01:53] <Vaylon Kenadell> "It's not your head they want," Einar says to Tiny. "And you?" He glances at Pellias.
[01:53] <joo> I can continue to play, but I don't mind stopping here.
[01:54] <lorelee> Alright.
[01:54] <Vaylon Kenadell> Are we stopping here? I want to keep playing.
[01:54] <lorelee> People, keep going or stop here for now?
[01:54] <Broose> Yeah, I'd like to keep going if we can.
[01:54] <lorelee> Alright.
[01:54] <joo> Very well.
[01:57] <Broose> Pellias ponders the question. "You have done nothing wrong as far as I know, but these are... dangerous forces that you claim to manipulate." He glances back. "We should move forward. Let us hope the dwarves are not too offended."
[01:59] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Yes... let us move on." Einar offers another weak smile to Pellias and turns to head off down the left passage.
[01:59] <Vaylon Kenadell> He holds the dagger aloft so that they might have light.
[01:59] <Vatican> Tiny nods, and continues foward
[01:59] <lorelee> Durnish, ahead of you, you see the path widens to a corridor.
[02:03] <lorelee> The group catches up to Durnish.
[02:04] <Broose> Pellias joins with Durnish and Oren. "Have you found anything?"
[02:04] <joo> "Naught that I can see."
[02:05] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar hangs back, looking around the sewer for evidence of rats.
[02:05] <Broose> "I wonder where they've all gone off too. They must have been here not long ago."
[02:06] <Broose> to*
[02:06] <Vatican> Tiny remains cautious, pulling out his bow "I don't like it" He shakes his head.
[02:07] <lorelee> How is Einar looking for evidence of rats?
[02:08] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar is just scanning the floor, looking for tracks, hair, evidence of nesting or eating. He also sniffs the air to see if there is any ... rat-smell, I suppose. He also stops and listens, but I doubt he can hear anything over the running water.
[02:08] <lorelee> Roll discern realities.
[02:09] <Vaylon Kenadell> !r 2d6+1
[02:09] <@pagebot> Vaylon: 4=1+2(+1)
[02:09] <joo> Durnish continues to stride forward.
[02:09] <lorelee> Einar is unable to find evidence of rats.
[02:10] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar shakes his head. "No evidence of them so far. Lead on, Durnish! Maybe we'll find them yet."
[02:14] <lorelee> The putrid stench of human waste continues to purvade your sense of smell. As the corridor continues on, the sound of water fades into an echo for a minute or two. Around you, the tunnel is crafted from brick. There is obvious signs of age, with the many cracks that run along the walls.
[02:14] <lorelee> *humanoid waste. *sewage
[02:15] <Broose> Pellias takes careful steps through the corridor, wrinkling his nose.
[02:16] <Vatican> Tiny holds his nose as he walks through "I am not getting paid enough for this..."
[02:17] <lorelee> At the end of the tunnel, is a large room. It appears to be a sewer hub of sorts, with several other tunnels branching off in many directions.
[02:18] <joo> Durnish strides into the centre of the room, and holds his talisman aloft, examining the various exits.
[02:19] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Tiny, if they don't pay us enough, I will personally help you ensure that they rectify that," says Einar with a laugh.
[02:20] <Vatican> Tiny laughs, nervously
[02:20] <lorelee> Water flows through the tunnels, of varying shades of color. A dead animal of some sort sits near the mouth of one of the tunnels.
[02:21] <Broose> Pellias kneels down to examine the dead animal.
[02:21] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar joins Pellias in the exmination.
[02:21] <Vaylon Kenadell> *examination
[02:21] <Broose> "Einar, perhaps you'd be able to identify this?"
[02:21] <Vaylon Kenadell> Can I tell what it is?
[02:22] <lorelee> Discern realities.
[02:24] <Vaylon Kenadell> I'm trying to identify the animal -- that's spout lore.
[02:24] <Vaylon Kenadell> !r 2d6+2
[02:24] <lorelee> Hmm..rather, spout lore.
[02:24] <@pagebot> Vaylon: 9=2+5(+2)
[02:25] <lorelee> Though clearly half eaten, and badly decomposed, it still bears a slight resemblance to a dog.
[02:27] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar says, "This is a dog... probably." He grimaces. "Perhaps a victim of the rats. We should endeavor not to become the same."
[02:27] <Broose> "Perhaps this tunnel is the best way to go, then." Pellias suggests.
[02:30] <joo> "This is a clear sign from beyond... that we should follow."
[02:30] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Well, then, let's go on." He starts walking down the tunnel, stepping past the fallen dog.
[02:30] <Broose> Pellias goes forward with him.
[02:31] <Vatican> Tiny shakes his head and carrioes on
[02:31] <joo> Durnish follows.
[02:39] <lorelee> As you continue down the tunnel, you can see an increasing amount of evidence of rat activity. Corpses of animals, some less obvious to tell than others, are strewn about. The smell of sewer is slowly becoming more intermingled with that of decaying animals and rats. Speaking of the vermin, you can hear screeching echoes from further down the hall. The echoes make it difficult to tell
[02:39] <lorelee> just how many there might be.
[02:41] <Vaylon Kenadell> "They're down here, all right," says Einar. "Just ahead of us. Are you ready?"
[02:42] <Vatican> Tiny sighs, and notches his bow
[02:42] <Broose> Pellias keeps his hand on the hilt of his sword, moving to the front of the group. "Yes."
[02:43] <joo> Durnish kneels, eyes closed, saying some soft words of prayer while holding his mace before him.
[02:43] <joo> Durnish will cast Bless on himself.
[02:44] <joo> !r +2 -- Cast Spell
[02:44] <@pagebot> joo: 8=1+5(+2) -- Cast Spell
[02:44] <joo> Durnish will take -1 ongoing to cast.
[02:46] <joo> When Durnish stands up, his eyes are ablaze with the light of battle, and he steps forward confidently.
[02:46] <joo> (Oren, presumably, comes beside him)
[02:46] <lorelee> Are you proceeding onwards?
[02:47] <Vaylon Kenadell> Yes, let's go.
[02:47] <Broose> Yes.
[02:47] <Vatican> Tiny mumbles 'Better be worth slogging through a sewer..."
[02:48] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar moves to stand beside Pellias, laughing.
[02:49] <Vaylon Kenadell> He holds his dagger at the ready.
[02:51] <lorelee> As you round the corner, you come to a room. Fairly large, it was barren save for the nest in the center, where a wriggling mass of squeaking brown forms lies. At the sound of your approach, they look up, red eyes gleaming in the freshly lit room.
[02:51] <Vaylon Kenadell> How many rats do we see?
[02:52] <lorelee> There appear to be 8 rats.
[02:53] <Vatican> Tiny lets lose an arrow as his draw drops
[02:53] <Vatican> jaw*
[02:54] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar holds the dagger forward, willing it to grow in intensity, white light spilling from it.
[02:54] <Vaylon Kenadell> *willing the glow to grow
[02:54] <joo> [dagger intensifies]
[02:54] <Broose> Pellias pulls out his blade and holds out his shield. He looks to Einar at his side. "Stay close to me, friend."
[02:54] <Vaylon Kenadell> Does that blind any of them?
[02:56] <lorelee> While the room grows brighter, the rats seem unfazed.
[02:56] <lorelee> Roll volley, Tiny.

[02:56] <@pagebot> Vatican: 7=1+4(+2) to hopefully hit

[02:57] <@pagebot> Vatican: 10=8(+2) for that arrow
[02:57] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar chuckles fiercely. "Our blades will both strike truly."
[02:57] <joo> Durnish and Oren advance beside Pellias.
[02:59] <lorelee> Tiny, the rat you fire upon is hit in the chest, the arrow burying deeply. While clearly injured, it screeches loudly, and comes charging.
[02:59] <Vaylon Kenadell> Am I near it?
[02:59] <lorelee> It charges for Tiny.
[02:59] <Vaylon Kenadell> Yeah, but am I near it?
[03:00] <Broose> Pellias steps towards the charging rat and swings widely towards it with his sword.
[03:00] <lorelee> No, you are not near.
[03:00] <lorelee> Then yes, it's near. Sorry.
[03:00] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar dives for the rat to stop it from reaching Tiny. He stabs at it with his dagger.

[03:02] <lorelee> Pellias, your sword cleaves the rat in twain. The two pieces fall to the ground with a wet splat.
[03:02] <Broose> Pellias catches the rat with his sword, nearly slicing the injured creature in half!
[03:04] <Broose> Pellias reaches out to help Einarr onto his feet.
[03:04] <lorelee> Einar, a half of the rat goes falling to the ground as your dagger swings, missig the rat by inches.
[03:05] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar flops onto the ground, missing the rat. He scrambles quickly back to his feet thanks to Pellias' help.
[03:05] <Vaylon Kenadell> He glances back toward Tiny and says, "You owe us for that one!" with a grin.
[03:06] <lorelee> Two more rats come running forward, one for Einar, the other for Pellias.
[03:06] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar raises his empty hand and begins to speak words of power.
[03:08] <joo> Durnish shouts out, "On Thrumnur's beard!" and leaps toward the rat attacking Pellias.

[03:09] <Broose> Pellias tries to assume a defensive stance, holding up his shield to defend from both rats.

[03:59] <@pagebot> Vatican: 8 1
[04:00] <lorelee> Your blade sinks into the rat, the rat giving a pained screech before falling still with one last twitch.
[04:01] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar gets to his feet and withdraws, defending himself with his dagger.
[04:02] <Vaylon Kenadell> !r Defend, Einar
[04:02] <@pagebot> Vaylon: (2d6) 4=1+3 Defend, Einar
[04:02] <Vaylon Kenadell> "Defending yourself is certainly an option. It amounts to giving up on making attacks and just trying to keep yourself safe."
[04:03] <fatrich> Oren runs at the rat near Einar, swinging his flail, then raises it in an arc and brings it down upon the creature.
[04:03] <fatrich> !r +2 -- Hack and Slash
[04:03] <@pagebot> fatrich: 12=5+5(+2) -- Hack and Slash
[04:04] <fatrich> !r d10+1 d6 -- Damage (pressing the attack)
[04:04] <@pagebot> fatrich: 7=6(+1) 2 -- Damage (pressing the attack)
[04:06] <lorelee> The rat is hit heavily by Oren's flail, crashing back against the dwarf. As it raises its head to land a bite, the creature collapses to the ground, and silence settles upon the battlefield.
[04:08] <Broose> Pellias sheathes his sword, taking in a breath.
[04:08] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar looks at his robes. "What a mess!"
[04:08] <joo> Durnish comes up and pats Oren on the back. "Good fighting!"
[04:09] <fatrich> Oren laughs. "Hardly a challenge!"
[04:09] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar begins chanting.
[04:09] <Vaylon Kenadell> !r +2 Cast a Spell

[04:10] <@pagebot> Vaylon: 2 Cure Light Wounds
[04:10] <Vaylon Kenadell> Einar touches his arm with his hand, and the wound begins to close. He sighs.
[04:10] <Vaylon Kenadell> (I have 15/16 HP.)
[04:11] <lorelee> Are we stopping?
[04:11] <joo> I agree to stop.
[04:11] <Vaylon Kenadell> Okay, then.
[04:11] <lorelee> Resting in the sewer until next time, duly noted.
[04:12] <lorelee> Just stopping for now, then?
[04:12] <Broose> !missed-rolls
[04:12] <@pagebot> Missed rolls (estimated): Fatrich: 0 of 1, fatrich: 1 of 4, Broose: 4 of 7, Vatican: 2 of 9, Vaylon: 7 of 12, joo: 3 of 10. Full list: <http://pastebin.com/kQwYh5up>.
[04:16] <lorelee> Bonds.
[04:18] <Vaylon Kenadell> I have three bonds that I wish to form.
[04:18] <Vaylon Kenadell> No, four bonds.
[04:18] <Vaylon Kenadell> [Tiny] will play an important role in the events to come. I have foreseen it!
[04:18] <joo> A halfling prophecy, eh?
[04:19] <Vaylon Kenadell> [Oren] is keeping an important secret from me.
[04:19] <Vaylon Kenadell> [Durnish] is woefully misinformed about the world; I will teach them all that I can.
[04:20] <Vaylon Kenadell> [Pellias'] efforts to defend me prove that he is trustworthy. I owe him a boon.
[04:21] <Vaylon Kenadell> So does everyone agree with my bonds?
[04:21] <Broose> I do.
[04:22] <joo> I agree.
[04:22] <Vatican> AND MY AXE
[04:23] <Broose> Einar is a brave soul, I have much to learn from them.
[04:23] <joo> Pellias has insulted my deity; I do not trust them.
[04:24] <joo> Oren is a good and faithful person; I trust them implicitly.
[04:24] <joo> Einar’s misguided behavior endangers their very soul!
[04:25] <Vaylon Kenadell> I agree with both of those for Einar.
[04:28] * fatrich (~roastmeup@5FBCB8D6.2EAE587.5DC85BC.IP) Quit (Taste the magic of Darjeeling!)
[04:28] <Broose> Tiny's recklessness endangers himself and the party, I will watch over him.
[04:28] <Vaylon Kenadell> party;
[04:28] <joo> Party!
[04:31] <joo> Steal from the fatrich, give to the poor.
[04:32] <Vaylon Kenadell> Hah!
