Samantha Rose H.
hi everyone x

Horanoven A.
hello

Drufle (GM)
oh uh hi

Samantha Rose H.
what time dose the game start today?

Drufle (GM)
noven what are you doing here

Horanoven A.
why not?

Drufle (GM)
you said you wouldnt be here this week

Horanoven A.
I was mistaken
that wasn't until july

Drufle (GM)
oh
well today isnt a Real Session day anyway due to me being incredibly tired and also sick

Samantha Rose H.
oh!!!!
get well soon

Drufle (GM)
also because i didnt think noven would be here so i have nothing planned

Samantha Rose H.
I thought something was on today

Drufle (GM)
kind of?

Samantha Rose H.
well then that's good

Drufle (GM)
if anything it was just gonna be talking about what you guys did in the past 8 months

Samantha Rose H.
great. do I get more gold?

Drufle (GM)
uhh i think i was planning on giving people money yes
did i not do so at the end of last session

Horanoven A.
I don't think money was given

Samantha Rose H.
i cannot remember. i know i sold the belt for 10 gc, but i don't remember getting anything else
and my sheet is telling me the same

Horanoven A.
I am 99% sure we still have that belt
it was not for you

Drufle (GM)
she sold it to hk

Horanoven A.
oh right
that is true
it has been a while

Samantha Rose H.
its only been a couple of weeks
hey mopy x

Moppy
aight here I am

Samantha Rose H.
moppy

Drufle (GM)
hi
so first off you do get some cash

Samantha Rose H.
MONEY!!!!!!!

Drufle (GM)
i have it written down as 100 gc each

Horanoven A.
O_O

Moppy
oooooooooooooo

Horanoven A.
yoink
holy shit Thicket is suddenly rich

Drufle (GM)
and for noven and mopp, no that does not mean you get 200 just because you have two people

Rose skips around holding all the gold

Drufle (GM)
or more specifically you cant just have thicket hand that 100 gc to drumun

Horanoven A.
Drumun isn't here, he doesn't get any

Drufle (GM)
hm

Horanoven A.
Thicket's keeping it
its her's now

Drufle (GM)
drumuns a monk anyway
hes used to not being rich

Horanoven A.
I'm not argueing with a pryomaniac

Moppy
so do we get 50 each then

Drufle (GM)
no it's 100 for hk and 100 for wari

Moppy
woohoo!

Drufle (GM)
im just saying you cant just give that extra 100 to the person youre going to use

Moppy
what would I even spend 100GC on. honestly.

Horanoven A.
Can I buy a school?

Drufle (GM)
on all the equipment that you now need to buy because it all broke

Rose
but they could "loan" the money with interest?

Horanoven A.
is that a thing 100 GC can buy?
Thicket doesn't need armor or weapons anymore

Moppy
you may recall I spent money to buy a new lance and a large shield last session

Rose
How much was that special longbow again?

Drufle (GM)
yeah i remember mopp

Horanoven A.
100 gc, what are the odds

Drufle (GM)
also which special longbow

Moppy
I think she wants a relic or something

Horanoven A.
magic longbow

Drufle (GM)
oh right
some kind of enchanted object

Horanoven A.
I do not know much about the longbows of this world

Drufle (GM)
wow shockingly enough
and i swear this is in fact a coincidence
enchanted objects are 100 gc

Horanoven A.
and nobody believed me
I have psychic powers
bow before me

Moppy
longbow before him

Samantha Rose H.
sorry, computer crashed
I'm back

Drufle (GM)
ok i found the property listings

Samantha Rose H.
so special bow is 100 gc, how much was a short sword, arrows and light armour x

Drufle (GM)
you can buy a wealthy house for 50 gc

Horanoven A.
is that like a mansion?
what is a "wealthy house"

Samantha Rose H.
isn't the whole town in ruin?

Horanoven A.
we stopped some of it

Drufle (GM)
sam it's like 1 gc total for all that stuff

Samantha Rose H.
oh

Horanoven A.
also we have 8 months downtime

Drufle (GM)
yeah a decent amount of the city has been rebuilt

Samantha Rose H.
yay!!!! i have more then enough. 125gc in total

Drufle (GM)
and noven im not really sure?
theres just like
listings for houses

Horanoven A.
is there anything bigger?
I need a campus and such

Drufle (GM)
rural, urban, fine urban, wealthy, opulent

Horanoven A.
or at least Thicket wants that

Drufle (GM)
are the kinds of houses

Moppy
you have the guildhall!

Horanoven A.
what is opulent?

Drufle (GM)
250

Horanoven A.
Thicket is trying to be a proffesor or magic
oh

Samantha Rose H.
there your super righ houses

Horanoven A.
that is a lot of gc

Drufle (GM)
a keep is 3000, palace is 5000, townhouse is 1500

Horanoven A.
well I don't think I need something as durable as a keep

Drufle (GM)
you can also get a rural hovel for 5 ss

Samantha Rose H.
how much is a forest?

Horanoven A.
or as large as a palace

Drufle (GM)
if you want to just buy some land outside the city?
hmm
how much land do you want

Horanoven A.
prices must be way down after the destruction

Samantha Rose H.
no it has to be a forest

Drufle (GM)
lemme look

Samantha Rose H.
and enough to make me feel at home. preferably away from people so i can wallow in self missery

Horanoven A.
join Drumun

Drufle (GM)
i'll say you can get a decently sized forest nearby for like

Horanoven A.
he's hanging out in a forest

Drufle (GM)
20 gc?

Samantha Rose H.
ok. MINE!!

Moppy
if rose and drumun were in the same forest then one of them would leave in 5 mins

Horanoven A.
Drumun isn't the one leaving

Drufle (GM)
also noven im gonna say a wealthy house is decently big, enough to have multiple rooms to set up classrooms and stuff and a nice headmasters office

Horanoven A.
actually I think Drumun is already back in town
so nvm

Samantha Rose H.
atleast i know what I'm going to be doing in my off time. Mainly building my fey residence out in the wilds

Drufle (GM)
not a massive campus but certainly like a good-sized university building

Horanoven A.
Thicket will take it

Moppy
Sam's treehouse

Horanoven A.
that was 100 gc?

Drufle (GM)
50

Horanoven A.
SOLD

Drufle (GM)
does hk want to buy tons of property

Samantha Rose H.
Rose's tree mansion

Moppy
no I have a different plan

Horanoven A.
buy a tank
or a horse
ride the horse into battle
while being a horsebot

Moppy
I'm not an acrobat saldty

Samantha Rose H.
want some human horn?

Moppy
no thank you I'm allergic

Horanoven A.
I do not think humans have horns

Moppy
they have two

Drufle (GM)
also if we want to give rose a magic longbow we do have to decide what the actual effect is

Moppy
an upper and a lower

Samantha Rose H.
futurama reference
yes please

Horanoven A.
its a longbow that skins dead enemies
it'd be perfect

Drufle (GM)
i could just roll for an ability but if youre paying 100 gc

Samantha Rose H.
but I'm already proficient in that

Drufle (GM)
you should probably get to choose

Samantha Rose H.
ooooh

Horanoven A.
but its automagical skinning

Samantha Rose H.
more dice or bigger dice?

Drufle (GM)
yeah it could be like (+1d6 to damage)
thats certainly within your choices

Moppy
how about putting deadly curses on them so they die with less perforation damage

Samantha Rose H.
i only get like 6d6 in medium range and 3 d6 in long range

Horanoven A.
Thicket can provide magic arrows

Samantha Rose H.
i know.

Horanoven A.
and bullets for that matter, should Russ get his gun back

Drufle (GM)
if you wanted it could even be something like (+1 to AGI)

Moppy
you look like an elf but you're really a munchkin aren't you :P

Samantha Rose H.
i may let her into my forest from time to time

Horanoven A.
Munchkins are a kind of fae

Drufle (GM)
or (holder ignores difficult terrain)
lots of things you can get

Horanoven A.
Thicket promises not to burn down the forest
frequently

Samantha Rose H.
my agi is already 13

Horanoven A.
+1 to STR?

Samantha Rose H.
could i get 3d6 damage to long range
uber sniper bow?

Drufle (GM)
wait why do you have so much less damage in long range

Samantha Rose H.
because my new attack is medium range

Moppy
her master path things make midrange better

Horanoven A.
dropoff

Drufle (GM)
oh true
that doesnt make every medium-range shot +3d6 though
you have to make a PERvAGI test

Samantha Rose H.
i know, but I'm elven

Drufle (GM)
yeah your PER is really good

Samantha Rose H.
i have amasing perception because i cannot be surprised

Drufle (GM)
i like your idea though, let's make it 2d6 outside of medium range
it's just a normal longbow but with a scope

Samantha Rose H.
sounds good

Horanoven A.
Rose the sniper

Samantha Rose H.
its basically a longbow equivalent of a compound recurve with all the bells and whistles
and soo pretty

Rose hugs her new bow like a long lost lover

Drufle (GM)
it's a very good bow

Horanoven A. just notices that Thicket had a bow in here inventory

Drufle (GM)
so mopp what exactly is hk doing with his pile o' cash

Moppy
I'd say "sketch it for us" but would it be too much to assume you can scan in stuff
right

Horanoven A.
how long has that been there?

Moppy
as HK picks through the ruins of the city he enters the artificer's district
whereupon he finds the wife and child of his halfling armorer friend
grieving over his body
(stabbed by wargs)

Drufle (GM)
oh man right i had forgotten that had happened

Horanoven A.
wow drufle
cold

Moppy
no I desired this

Drufle (GM)
ive been busy planning!

Moppy
this was my choice

Horanoven A.
I meant he forgot
shame on your drufle

Moppy
HK immediately starts supporting the fammily and spends all his money to repair their home and get their business back in order

Samantha Rose H.
ex wargs. rose has their hides

Moppy
maybe he also learns the craft in the process

Horanoven A.
did you get the void bull's hide?

Samantha Rose H.
yes

Horanoven A.
that'd make a nice carpet
or wallpaper
with all the runes

Drufle (GM)
aww
thats very nice mopp

Samantha Rose H.
that was the first thing i started to do near the end of the game whilst you were repairing the mon

Moppy
:)

Drufle (GM)
i'll give you the blacksmith profession for free

Moppy
ok!

Samantha Rose H.
moon
oh wow
self repair

Horanoven A.
He can fix things now
nice mopp

Samantha Rose H.
Terminator HK

Drufle (GM)
and i imagine that out of kindness, the lady will probably give you some kind of gift?

Moppy
yeah ok

Samantha Rose H.
ooooh

Drufle (GM)
maybe upgrade your armor again, or one of those hyper-fancy roboupgrades from that one book

Horanoven A.
seems logical
more armor???

Moppy
gimme the deets on the new book

Horanoven A.
is that even possible??

Moppy
more armor would be nice but I would like to consider options

Horanoven A.
I thought he was already in heavy

Drufle (GM)
lemme go find that book

Moppy
we can go deeper
chobham armor
reactive ablative plating

Samantha Rose H.
Rose has a thing she would like to do aswell, but she doesn't know where to go, or who to see

Horanoven A.
I think armor being chemically reactive is a bad idea

Samantha Rose H.
that sounds fun

Moppy
...it's not chemical Hora

Horanoven A.
you said reactive
that's what reactive meant in this context

Drufle (GM)
ok i KNOW this book is in this pile somewhere
gotta find it

Moppy
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_armour

Horanoven A.
I assume that megabusters were a thing

Drufle (GM)
ok found it
now these are like
mega cheap at this point
so im gonna let you pick three of these

Moppy
ok

Drufle (GM)
theres the ablative carapace, which halves all damage, but once you fall below half health it breaks
oh sorry

Moppy
haahahaha

Drufle (GM)
it halves physical damage

Horanoven A.
breaks like...disabled or gone?

Drufle (GM)
its disabled until it gets fixed

Horanoven A.
okay
that's pretty good

Samantha Rose H.
but he coud fix it himself

Moppy
which I can now do thanks to my new profession

Horanoven A.
especially with how much HK gets hit

Drufle (GM)
an accelerator, which lets you triple your move three times a day

Samantha Rose H.
like battlefield repairs

Horanoven A.
install blast processing

Drufle (GM)
a blade appendage, which is not honestly that good
actually wait
nevermind it would be bad for mystics

Horanoven A.
buster sword appendage

Drufle (GM)
it's pretty great for juggernauts
it changes your base unarmed damage to 1d6+1
so thatd be another 1d6 to add to your ever-growing pile

Horanoven A.
yikes

Moppy
more dice more dice

Samantha Rose H.
oh!

Drufle (GM)
darksight lenses that give you darkvision

Horanoven A.
constant nightvision goggles

Drufle (GM)
a fire suppression device that lets you put out fires within 1d3 yards

Horanoven A.
wow rude

Samantha Rose H.
but would he need that with an elf in the party?

Drufle (GM)
a force amplifier that gives you 1 boon on all STR-related checks and +1 to all melee damage

Samantha Rose H.
now that's nice

Moppy
+1 dice?

Drufle (GM)
no just +1

Samantha Rose H.
plus the boon

Drufle (GM)
a gyroscopic stabilizer that gives you 1 boon on AGI rolls and +1 DEF
a hidden compartment that lets you hold a bunch of stuff
only up to a 1/4 size creature
so drumun wont fit

Horanoven A.
boo

Drufle (GM)
a knowledge shard which gives you a profession/language for free

Moppy
can't stuff wari in there to pop out when HK dies

Drufle (GM)
a lightning lamp that vastly brightens the surrounding area

Samantha Rose H.
HK die?

Drufle (GM)
a projectile appendage that is literally just a pistol on your hand

Samantha Rose H.
imposible

Horanoven A.
I mean
it is
he has a lot of armor, but his DEF is awful

Moppy
I've wanted a gun arm for so long

Drufle (GM)
but the pistol is actually better than the normal because it's a revolver!

Horanoven A.
constant chip damage

Drufle (GM)
holds 5 bullets in the chambers

Moppy
but there's SO MANY OTHER THINGS

Horanoven A.
is there a megabuster?

Drufle (GM)
shadowsight lenses to give you shadowsight

Samantha Rose H.
so a gun arm and a sword arm. how woud hk hold his lance?

Drufle (GM)
a sound dampener to give you 1 boon on stealth checks

Horanoven A.
what the heck is the difference between shadowsight and darkvision?

Drufle (GM)
and finally a superior sense module to give you +2 to PER
darkvision is better

Horanoven A.
okay

Drufle (GM)
those are all the choices, you can have 3 for free

Horanoven A.
Sam: I mean, we don't know if these replace his current limbs or just give him new limbs

Moppy
I imagine they fold out

Horanoven A.
transformers
more than meets the eye

Drufle (GM)
the gun isnt an extra arm
it's just installed on an existing one
also i should really note that you can have any of these installed at any point, for a price

Samantha Rose H.
oh neat

Moppy
how mucho

Samantha Rose H.
oh Drufle

Drufle (GM)
depends on the upgrade

Moppy
gimme prices and I'll work it out later

Drufle (GM)
things like the fire suppressor are just 3 gc
the str/agi boosters are 20 gc eahc
each*

Samantha Rose H.
Could you help Rose out with her little problem

Drufle (GM)
which one?
also mopp i uploaded the clockwork book to telegram

Samantha Rose H.
She wants to get the "curse" markings on her back checked out really bad. but the shame is too much for her to show anyone in the groop. how could i arrange an accident so its noticed

Moppy
yes I ssaw thank you

Drufle (GM)
hmm

Horanoven A.
Thicket burns off your clothes by accident

Moppy
lecherous squid

Samantha Rose H.
but its new armour

Drufle (GM)
im not really sure, how public do you want this accident to be

Horanoven A.
well the armor is going to need to be off for any accident to happen
armor doesn't fold out of the way usually

Samantha Rose H.
well.... given my profesion......

Drufle (GM)
good point

Moppy
you successfully bed Russ?

Drufle (GM)
i mean in that case surely multiple people have noticed at this point

Samantha Rose H.
lol
but it covers my back. probably not the assets they are looking at at that time

Moppy
oh come on you're a more imaginative lover than that

Samantha Rose H.
and she realy tries her hardest to hide it

Moppy
ride 'em, cowgirl!

Drufle (GM)
yeah i dont know how well you would be able to hide it

Samantha Rose H.
its just a job

Drufle (GM)
if it covers your entire back

Samantha Rose H.
well no one in the party has seen it yet, and ive stripped naked 3 times

Moppy
well maybe it doesn't matter when "on the job", but rumours start spreading

Drufle (GM)
i think the problem in that point is that sam is probably right, i doubt nobody really cares about it
yeah something like that mopp

Horanoven A.
I'm guessing that if they don't know what it is, they probably won't care

Samantha Rose H.
hence the perpetual shame

Horanoven A.
well, lets start small
who do you want to reveal this too?

Samantha Rose H.
and she really isn't the type to ask for help

Horanoven A.
narrow things down to a person, then work from there

Samantha Rose H.
i was actualy thinking of either thicket as she is fey, or a scholar of high destiction

Drufle (GM)
hm
thicket wouldnt be a bad choice

Horanoven A.
She'd certainly try to figure out what it is

Samantha Rose H.
maybe whilst I'm building my home in the forest

Horanoven A.
if she doesn't recognise it already

Samantha Rose H.
armour off and all

Drufle (GM)
yeah actually thats a good idea
thicket is probably the only one that visits the forest on a regular basis
if anyone would end up accidentally seeing the mark, it'd be her

Horanoven A.
even if yo tried to hide it, the inevitable fire would reveal it

Samantha Rose H.
all this is mainly because now rose has become quite the range killer, i want her to give a fuck about the party but in her current situation it cannot happen in character

Drufle (GM)
ahh
good point
yeah i like these ideas

Moppy
development~~~~~

Samantha Rose H.
and also the granting of the fey royalty boons could come in handy
fireballs and all

Drufle (GM)
you know, you probably could ask your parents for one of those boons if you wanted
i didnt think about it until just now

Moppy
she doesn't know her family

Drufle (GM)
oh right

Samantha Rose H.
i was kidnapped by the gypsies

Drufle (GM)
damn

Moppy
if she knew her parents she'd know the tats weren't a curse lol

Samantha Rose H.
they were the ones that told me it was a curse and mark of shame

Horanoven A.
Oh!

Drufle (GM)
all these things im remembering about rose

Horanoven A.
if they're royalty based, than Thicket has a good chance of knowing what they are
because fae

Samantha Rose H.
so for the last 100 years or so she has hated the world and still believes that is she meets and elf they would try and kill her
i made quite a back story lol
i meant "if she meets and elf they would try and kill her"

Drufle (GM)
yeah almost certainly

Samantha Rose H.
hence she is mentally fucked up

Drufle (GM)
it's unfortunate that elves basically dont come to this world much
the fey are too busy dealing with their own stuff

Samantha Rose H.
precicely why i chose that story

Horanoven A.
gotta deal with the fey that are left in this world

Samantha Rose H.
i actualy wasn't expecting rose to live long lol

Horanoven A.
that being things like brownies, goblins, dryads
etc

Samantha Rose H.
she got good at surviving

Horanoven A.
to be fair, even if you were in danger Drufle probably would've forgotten the killing mechanic

Drufle (GM)
yeah that uh
is probably my fault
theres been like a solid 5 times where people totally shouldve died
and i just forgot

Moppy
we're not going to fault you for telling a story and requiring us to live for it

Samantha Rose H.
nope

Horanoven A.
I am okay with living so far

Samantha Rose H.
life is good ish

Horanoven A.
this just means he's going to be trying really hard this time

Drufle (GM)
dying is for scrubs
git gud

Samantha Rose H.
much better now i have an elven home to call my own

Horanoven A.
someone who isn't roy is going to die
but anyways, when Thicket does find these markings
how should that go?

Samantha Rose H.
i have know idea. rose is not really the interlecual type even though she is rather smart
so i have no idea how the boffins go about researching

Horanoven A.
research may not be required if Thicket already knows what they are
Drufle, how common are these markings for fey? how well are they known?

Samantha Rose H.
but possibly like a history check, perception or similar

Horanoven A.
Thicket spent a good chunk of her life with other fey

Samantha Rose H.
maybe whilst rose was by herself lashing walls out of branches, half naked because of the heet and hard work, and a tricky little fey girls sneeking up to play a practical joke notices it?

Drufle (GM)
hm

Samantha Rose H.
girl

Drufle (GM)
for fey?

Horanoven A.
yes drufle

Samantha Rose H.
but how about elves in particular
especialy the upper class

Horanoven A.
what I'm asking is, would Thicket know these markings already
or would she need to research them

Drufle (GM)
i mean the question youre asking is basically "how often do elves get corruption"

Horanoven A.
is that what those are?

Moppy
no!

Drufle (GM)
oh wait no
the shadow thing is the corruption

Samantha Rose H.
no. the markings became visible when she came of age, marking her as the future queen

Moppy
yeah the corruption comes from the murder and anthropophagy
when she was with the elven gypsies

Samantha Rose H.
got it in one

Drufle (GM)
oh thats what those are
hmm
im going to say that it's not something that, like, every fey person would know

Horanoven A.
even a well learned one?

Drufle (GM)
but anyone thats spent some time specifically studying fey history and heirarchies would know

Horanoven A.
I c
To the books!
are these markings words?
or are they just...symbolic
or something

Samantha Rose H.
there is a tree of life in the centre, with elven script surrounding it

Horanoven A.
elven script you say!
Thicket can read that

Drufle (GM)
yeah i mean
i imagine thicket would recognize it as elven script from afar

Samantha Rose H.
and some intricate markings noting what realms etc

Drufle (GM)
but unless rose actually let her observe it, thicket probably wouldnt understand the words

Horanoven A.
so I'd have to ask her to stay still so I could read it?

Samantha Rose H.
but at a first glance it looks rather jumpled up
good luck with that

Horanoven A.
Thicket is persistent

Samantha Rose H.
. and i resist magic so you couldn't bind me

Horanoven A.
I mean
you resist magic damage

Samantha Rose H.
i resist spells
aswell

Horanoven A.
I have a non-spell that binds

Samantha Rose H.
oh

Moppy
why not just fucking talk it out

Samantha Rose H.
could be a funny prank whist someone is onto of a roof?

Horanoven A.
We're fey, Mopp

Moppy
like civlized people

Samantha Rose H.
its still a curse to me right now

Horanoven A.
neither of us are "normal"

Moppy
oh well suit yourself
I'll be reading this robot manual

Samantha Rose H.
well i have enough leather to do that x

Moppy
pfft

Samantha Rose H.
but yes, i like the idea of non spell binding to read it.

Drufle (GM)
you know we mentioned it earlier but i feel like you could actually make something good with that void bull hide

Samantha Rose H.
goes will with both characters

Moppy
string 'er up, Thicket!

Horanoven A.
alright
poke
you are now rooted to the ground
time to READ

Moppy
can we make a flying carpet that flies through the warp
I mean hell
I mean the void

Drufle (GM)
hmm
well that would end in an absurd amount of insanity for everyone

Samantha Rose H.
i know. i should probably give it to hk, but if i wait till after my feelings for the grou change, i may give it to him instead of selling it

Horanoven A.
void bull hide is pretty good stuff
invest it into equipment to fight more void bull

Samantha Rose H. tries to fight the bindings holding her

Horanoven A.
for story reasons, you arn't getting out

Samantha Rose H.
woops

Horanoven A.
plot and such

Rose struggle with her bindings like a void bull on steroids

Thicket reads the scripture as Rose flails about

Drufle (GM)
plot is a very powerful force

Samantha Rose H.
that's better

Rose uses some very very very bad elven words

Horanoven A.
*gasp
how dare

Rose
its so bad a small family of nearby rabits die

Thicket
what a shame

Rose
out of shock

Thicket writes down what she reads regardless

Rose cries

Drufle (GM)
so yeah i imagine the specific wording of the markings doesnt matter much
so much as the implications

Thicket
what implications does Thicket get?
does she Understand what she has found?

Rose
tears are now flowing freely down roses face

Drufle (GM)
i would imagine so yeah thicket

Thicket
"..."

Thicket remains silent for a moment

Thicket
"What are you crying about?"

Rose
"you've seen my mark of shame"

Thicket
"Shame?"

Thicket looks around for other markings, confused

Rose
"yes, ive been cursed to never be able to see my people again under the penalty of death

Thicket
"I do not see anything particularly shameful here"

Rose
"

Thicket
"Death?"

Rose
"yes"
cant you see?

Thicket
"No"

Rose
"........."

Thicket
"I see, something I never thought I would see"

Rose
"well these curses aint pretty"

Thicket
"No. No no no no..."
"They beautiful"
They're

Rose looks stunned

Thicket
dang it typos now is not the time

Rose
"wt�$^%"^"�$^"�$^

Drufle (GM)
"they beautiful"

Thicket
DRUFLE
RUDE

Drufle (GM)
im sorry i just love the idea of thicket just developing like
this really wacky dialect

Thicket begins reciting the words in elvish

Moppy
Thicket invents Memes

Rose
lol

Thicket then becomes silent when she finishes

Thicket
"Rose...These are the markings of a Queen"

Rose stops still

Rose
her face seems distant

Thicket
"Not just...royalty, but..."
"THE queen."

Rose
years and years or pain seem to be dissolving from her eyes

Thicket
"How long have these been there?"

Rose
since i came of age
so about 125 years of so

Thicket
"Why are you even in this world?"

Rose
i was kidnaped

Thicket
"By whom? Who would do such a thing?"

Rose
but i was told that they had found me
a band of traveling gypsies selling artifacts made from humans back to them
then once they saw my markings they threw me out and left me alone in the wilds
alone
soooo alone

Thicket
"..."

Rose starts crying again

Thicket
"I see..."

Thicket has no idea what to say

Rose is crying 125 years of pain

Rose
even the sky starts to dull with all the sorrow

Rose then dose something rather strange

Rose hugs thicket

Rose
tightly

Thicket thinks she might know what to say now

Thicket
"You...are not alone anymore"

Rose
in a very, very soft voice rose whispers "thankyou" just slightly louder then the breeze
"soo what does this all mean now"

Thicket
"Well uhh..."

Rose
I'm.....I'm......a........
princess?
WTF

Thicket
"I suppose so"
"I'm not entirely sure what the entails"
"I've been in a forest outside the fey realm for my entire life"

Rose
well I'm never touching another man again..... well not for a while anyway......
"thicket"

Thicket
"Yes?"

Rose
GM get reqady
"how to you talk to the trees"
and the earth
and the wind
i have an idea

Thicket
"You wish to...speak with the natural world?"

Rose
yes

Thicket
"I think I might be able to help with that"

Rose
i feel i may be able to do something, but i don't know how to start. but if they can hear me....

Drufle (GM)
so am i to take this as rose giving thicket a boon

Rose
even better
how do i whisper again?

Thicket
slash w message

Drufle (GM)
it's /w drufle message

Thicket
oh right, the left and right brackets disappear

(From Rose)
like this

(To Rose)
yep!

(From Rose)
i wish to not only bless thicket a little. but i wish to command the earth to heal around the village, and void damage to be repaird and peace to flow through the air

Rose
so how do i start thicket

Thicket
"Well...to start you need to...understand yourself as a part of nature"

(From Rose)
and more greenery to grow

Thicket
"Focus on it and listen"
"You need to hear it first, learn its language"

Rose shuts her eyes, holds her breath..... and starts to turn red

Thicket observes

Moppy
you can probably breathe you know

Rose
"oh"

Thicket
no, she must hear nothing but the nature

Drufle (GM)
As Rose concentrates, the land around her begins to bloom and glow, becoming greener and more vibrant.

Thicket remains quiet, but smiles

Drufle (GM)
The color spreads throughout the forest, and through the nearby lands, crashing away void stains, blood, and detritus.
Thicket in particular feels exceedingly revitalized by all this nature power.
now im not sure whether i should have thicket roll for this or if i should just pick a boon

Thicket
whichever you feel is best

Drufle (GM)
i think because she probably wont be used in combat, i can pick whatever i want

Rose
"so how did I do" then rose passes out

Thicket waits for a moment, realizing that Rose has passed out

Thicket
"Very good for a first attempt"

Drufle (GM)
yeah let's give thicket a nice +1 WILL

Thicket
:D
15 total will

Drufle (GM)
technically theres this whole thing about how theres a 5% chance every day you lose that
but again she probably wont be used anymore

Thicket
I should probably tell you this then

Rose
"i hope the blessings help"

Thicket
then whenever my enchanted ammunition is used, the spell is casted as if I had casted it

Drufle (GM)
yeah i know

Thicket
well alright

Thicket looks around at the revitalized land around

Rose
"HK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Thicket
"I believe they have"

Drufle (GM)
a lot of your spells are area-based anyway which dont rely on your will at all
so i dont feel like it's that broken

Thicket
alright

H. Knight
"Yes?"

Thicket
HK somehow hears all this

Rose
would you do me a favour please

H. Knight
did I get the sense module
no I didn't shame

Drufle (GM)
you did though

H. Knight
"What Do You Require?"
oh alright then
guess I do hear it!

Thicket
wow

Rose
i have all this leather i don't really need anymore, and i believe you are helping a smith right?

Thicket
such hearing

Rose
i was roaring

H. Knight
"I am... yes. I am helping."

H. Knight looks away for a second

Thicket
getting some sweet upgrades too

Rose
would you mind removing all of these hides, including the void bull and using it all as you and the family see fit

H. Knight
"This Is... Unprecedented Of You. Is Some
Thing The Matter?"
(minor glitch there)

Rose
no. but if it wouldn't hurt me i would hug you

Drufle (GM)
no i like the idea that hk is so shocked he just turns off mid-sentence

Thicket
he had to roll to resist shock

H. Knight
"Wait A Second."

Rose
"what"

H. Knight puts on working apron and full-arm gloves

H. Knight
"Will This Suffice?"

Thicket
thumbs up

Rose hugs hk but only around the leather

Rose
and whispers "I'm not cursed"

H. Knight feels content for like, the second time in his life

Rose
a small tear escapes her eyes again

H. Knight
"I Do Not Know What You Mean By That, But I Am Glad That You Are Happy."

Rose
and did you see what i did for the town
that....that was me
I'm and elven princess!!!!!!

H. Knight is stil trying to process all this

Thicket nods in affirmation

Thicket
I assume I am here too

Rose
yes
and spread the word that my forest is open to all who need sanctuary, peace and or heeling

H. Knight
"Well, I Hope Then That This Will Improve Your Relations With The Rest Of The Guild."

Rose
i think i have ALOT of repairing to do

H. Knight
"Wari In Particular Has Been Vocal About Her Distrust"

Drufle (GM)
yvonne will be thrilled

Rose runs off a second

Rose then runs back and grabs thicket

Thicket
alright

Rose
"can you please enchant these two pieces of special heart wood?

Thicket
"Alright"

Rose smiles

Thicket
"What kind of enchantment did you have in mind?"

Rose
HK, could you please ask the smith to forge two of their bast axe heads possible. and affix them to these wooden shafts. here is my last 19 gp for your troubles
i was thinking accuracy, so 1 boon to hit

H. Knight
"Yes. I'll... Get Right On That"

H. Knight is AWKWARD

Thicket
an enchantment of that magnitude

Drufle (GM)
hk is confused as hell

Thicket
can I even do that Drufle?

H. Knight
no he's not confused
he just can;t being himself to correct her
that the smith is dead

Drufle (GM)
and yeah unless you have a secret best friend technomancer 19 gc isnt nearly enough for a solid 1 boon to all hits

H. Knight
and he's the new one

Thicket
I can probably try something smaller

Rose
the boon is on the wooden shafts

Drufle (GM)
thicket potentially could do like

Rose
the heads are for damage

Drufle (GM)
well make a will check with 2 banes thicke
thicket*

Thicket
hooooo boy

H. Knight
ROBIN THICKET
Thicket:
Will Challenge
Roll 11
oh hey that's enough

Drufle (GM)
well alright then
1 boon axes it is

Rose smiles

Thicket
well how about that

Thicket is very pleased with the results

Rose
"thankyou"

Thicket
"It was my pleasure"
I find it funny that the banes were both just 1s

H. Knight
"Do You Need These Right Now Or Can It Wait Until Tomorrow?"
"I'm Halfway Through Installing A Fire Suppression System"

H. Knight points to horrid mess on his back

Drufle (GM)
boy you are lucky those banes were so low

Rose
it will be for Wari, i feel bad that i left her for nearly dead, twice

Thicket
all of my luck
right there

Drufle (GM)
i hope you dont need any for future sessions

Thicket
This was Thicket's luck

H. Knight
"Ah, Well I Shall Take My Time Then. Only The Best Will Do."

Thicket
Drumun has been saving up

Rose
hoefully the axes will make sure her enimies will die before they strike her

Thicket
its why things went so badly for him in the offtime event
saving his luck

H. Knight
"I'll Be In For An Earful From Her For Anything Less..."

Rose
rolling d20+2+3d6k1( 3 )+2+( 1 + 3 + 2 ) = 8
oh wait

Thicket
oh dear the luck is gone

H. Knight
did you just try to shoot us

Rose
what is the perception of a flock of geese?

H. Knight
what a question

Thicket
i believe they have 8 perception

Drufle (GM)
i
what?

Thicket
they have rather poor eyesight

Drufle (GM)
what a strange question
Rose:
Perception Challenge
Roll 0

Thicket
I think that was a 14

Rose
would 18 be a hit against agi?

Drufle (GM)
oh right this
yeah

H. Knight
we have GOT to fixe those macros

Drufle (GM)
i would if i had any clue how they worked

Rose
oh good. who wants dinner?

H. Knight
didn't golurk make these

Thicket
no, you're thinking of PPP

H. Knight
right

Thicket
these macros came with the system

Rose
rolling 6d6+2( 3 + 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 2 )+2 = 25

Thicket
pre-installed

Drufle (GM)
those geese are SO dead

Thicket
that is a dead goose
oh wait, it was a DIRE GOOSE
gasp

Rose
the sky seems to rain feathers and geese
I'm soo hungry now. who wants some?
thicket, would we need to build a fire or could you just cook them?

Thicket
"I would be willing to try goose"
hmmmm

Rose
god i love my mid range damage
or i have a whole range of fruits trees and bushes around here

Thicket
the question is not whether or not I can cook them, its whether or not there'll be anything left afterwards

Rose
if you don't want meet?

H. Knight
"If You're Going To Eat, Please Do So Away From The Shop. The Feathers Will Get Everywhere."

Rose
meat
i'll fetch some wood then to light instead

Drufle (GM)
are you guys even in the city or are you outsie
outside*

Thicket
I have no idea

Drufle (GM)
im very confused as to where this is happening

H. Knight
well I assumed that

Thicket
I'm just rolling with it

H. Knight
they WERE in the woods

Rose
still on my boundary

H. Knight
then smash cut to me in the shop

Thicket
I assume we left the forest to get to hkk

Rose
i summoned him. there was a time gap obviously
i communicated through the ground i had blessed

H. Knight
oh well alright then

Rose
houses make great reasonators when the are partialy covered by all the new greenery x
oh shit!!

Drufle (GM)
well i dont quite know how far into the city the nature power got
probably not too far

Rose just realises she may need to do a lot more building

Rose
it was a very very big shout

Thicket
I think we're being a bit to worried about the logistics of what just happened

H. Knight
yeah

Rose
, and it saved the time of traveling back and fourth, or we could have done that if it suits you better

H. Knight
this is a semi-session
we have eight months to do all this in
so I say it's fine

Rose just realised she doesn't need to build anymore, she just needs to ask the trees to grow a little differently

Rose
"well that will definitely save some time"
but..... thicket. how do we socialise?

Thicket
"Socialise?"

Rose
well not we, but me?

Thicket
"Uhhh"

Rose
people!

Thicket draws a total blank

H. Knight
but the trees are mad that you build by chopping them down in the first place
"my buuttttt!"

Rose
i blessed them

Thicket
"I might not be the best person to ask about people"

H. Knight
"I was just born! I was just born and you cut my butt off!!"

Thicket
"I am a bit of an outcast around here"
"People do not think too highly of Dryads"

Rose
"i was too, but... but..... i think need some fun
wait.. what.....
people don't like dryads!

Thicket
"Well...my people have a reputation for kidnapping and enslaving humans for extended periods of time"
"Not that I have ever done that"

Rose
"should we go 'persuade' them otherwise?"

Thicket
"The Dryads? I am a bit banished from their forests"

Rose
"we could snatch them away and tell them you don't do that sort of stuff"

Thicket
"I am not allowed near them anymore"

Rose
oh. could we make this forest even better

Thicket
also other dryads are kinda powerful, if I recall

Rose
so they would feel a calling to come here?

Thicket
"I am bit of an outlier, I'm afraid...Dryad typically cannot leave their forest"
"They are bound to their tree for life"

Rose
NO ONE BANISHES MY FRIEND!!!!

Thicket
"It is alright..."
"I deserved it..."
"I was far to...volatile"

Rose
have you got your tree?

Thicket
"No..."
"To banish me they had to...tear me from it"

Moppy
yeowch

Rose
is it possible to bind with another, if it is birthed out of special circumstances

Thicket
"Honestly...maybe...but I do not want to"
"I may have lost a bit of my strength...but"
"I am free"

Rose
oh

Thicket
"Free to...see the world"
"What I did in that forest was...inexcusable"

Rose
no problems. well you are welcome here like all the time. and if ever, ever, ever i can do anything. i want to help

Thicket
"Thank you, Rose. I truly appreciate it"

Rose
have i helped everyone, or am i missing members of the party?

Drufle (GM)
you helped all the living members

Thicket
Well I mean Russ and Drumun are alive

Rose
YAY

Thicket
unless Russ died while I wasn't looking

Rose
but isn't one of those an inquisitor?

Drufle (GM)
i dont think she even knows drumun though

Thicket
they had one mission together

Drufle (GM)
i mean she probably knows of him
oh did they
right right

Thicket
the fateful Boarisode

Rose
we may have met at the guild hall once

Drufle (GM)
and to be fair rusenfeld is only kind of an inquisitor

Thicket
by now it is likely that Drumun has returned
Russ is more of a healer now

Drufle (GM)
he isnt literally the master path inquisitor and honestly with how much the local church has collapsed i dont even know if the inquisition still exists

Thicket
after that first arc, I do not think he can fully trust the church anymore

Rose
well i have a rare herb garden in the forest which he can frequent to collect what he needs for salves etc

Thicket
I think Thicket might be there more often

Drufle (GM)
yeah ruse has his life magic
he can just point at someone and theyll feel better

Moppy
I got a secret compartment purely for holding potions

Drufle (GM)
those potions you cant use?

Moppy
......

Thicket
I assume he gives those to other people
totally selfless

Moppy
well the rest of the team would like them
yes

Rose
but don't forget some oil and polish

Drufle (GM)
actually now that i mention it
i dont actually know if clockworks cant use potions

Moppy
god yeah actually a tool kit would be useful

Rose
especialy now you can repair

Moppy
put all this junk in my trunk

Drufle (GM)
like the book only ever says that they have to be willing, defenseless, or unconscious to use a potion on them
never mentions living or not

Rose
and maybe a little something to remember the smith by?

Moppy
yeah

Drufle (GM)
you can get a tool kit sure
they dont do anything special, they just allow you to do your profession's work
normally i would ask you to buy such a thing but

Moppy
yeah maybe I can just have that hanging around

Drufle (GM)
it's 1 silver
at this point, anything under 1 gc you can just have
worrying about coppers and silvers is so unnecessary at this point

Rose looks at thicket

Thicket
"?"

Rose
fancy stretching your fireball arms?

Thicket
"What do you need burned?"

Moppy
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4a/Ancient_Sasanid_Cataphract_Uther_Oxford_2003_06_2%281%29.jpg/300px-Ancient_Sasanid_Cataphract_Uther_Oxford_2003_06_2%281%29.jpg
this is what my ablative armor looks like

Drufle (GM)
so scaly
by the way i sure hope people are listening to the music

Rose
i was thinking......... if i could use my tracking skills to locate some of the gypsie marking i know, how would you like to make an elven bonfire?

Moppy
I am mow
*now

Rose
it is very nice drufle

Thicket
"Hmmmmm"
"Flames are always tempting"

Rose
drufle

Thicket
this is probably a side mission of some sort
I doubt Drufle could pull a fight out of nowhere

Rose
is the remaining time enough to track down, burn and return from a gypsie hunt?

Thicket
Thicket is setting up a school as well though

Drufle (GM)
when you say remaining time

Thicket
she might be busy

Drufle (GM)
do you mean in today
or in the 8 months

Rose
the 8 months

Drufle (GM)
yeah you have plenty of time

Rose
i don't think we would need to actualy roll it all. i just feel redemption would be nice

Drufle (GM)
yeah you guys are like

Rose
and rose could do with the time to really understand what her roll is now in ths world.

Drufle (GM)
so obscenely overpowered at this point in comparison to the rest of the world

Thicket
I can make some magic arrows

Drufle (GM)
i dont mind you just saying "we went and killed these dudes"

Thicket
so everyone can light things on fire

Rose
oooooh. with some magic arrows. pretty. can we get pink feather so they match my hair?
ok

Thicket
I don't know of any pink birds in the area

Moppy
if you can find an arrowsmith you haven't slain then yyeah
he can probably dye them

Rose and possibly thicket went and killed those dudes

Thicket
hurrah

Drufle (GM)
i mean theyre almost certainly very, very far away at this point
but since youre a ranger
and also a nature-lady

Rose
and a tracker

Drufle (GM)
and also you lived with them for years

Moppy
and has the bow version of a sniper rifle

Drufle (GM)
i dont think you would have any trouble finding them

Rose
and i know their secret language
and whist i was there i left my 'night' working clothes neatly folded in the centre of a circle of death

Moppy
wow, total redemption

Drufle (GM)
boy the symbolism
yeah thats great

Rose winks

Moppy
didn't expect to be resolving rose's character arc today

Thicket
I say that went well

Drufle (GM)
i didnt expect to do anything today

Rose
well i woudnt want to waste like 8 months

Drufle (GM)
yeah clearly

Rose
much better then the other options

Thicket
when they do get back
Thicket is going nuts trying to set up a magic school

Rose
oh and moppy i am now an arrowsmith
remember

Drufle (GM)
yeah like thicket and hk can probably make a little bit of money off of their new ventures
possibly rose too if she rents out some of her gardens and stuff

Rose takes loads of cuttings of her special plants to donate to the school. to grow for herboligy and potions training

Drufle (GM)
but that money is gonna be totally inconsequential in comparison to what youll be getting from adventuring

Thicket
its not the money that Thicket wants
she just wants to be an awesome teacher

Rose
same with rose. her gardens are open to all

Thicket
and maybe the town will accept her more

Drufle (GM)
ok good im glad you dont care about the money because it's gonna be like
silvers a week

Thicket
I've got 65 gold left
I gotta invest this

Drufle (GM)
so im just gonna not keep track of money you earn at all

Thicket
school equipment and books

Rose
ive got about 8 silver, yet strangely content and happy with life

Moppy
I should probably put the rest of the money I have back into the military
A LOT of men and equipment need replacing
also get something nice for those orcs!

Rose
HK, would you like me to train the archers?

Drufle (GM)
that is so very true

Moppy
sure!
(god I hope this all doesn't come to naught or anything)
(when the city drowns in filth)

Drufle (GM)
yeah you guys looked like you were having a lot of fun
i wasnt gonna mention that part

Rose
damn, just after i made it all pretty

Drufle (GM)
it's the thought that counts

Rose
atleast some highly skilled archers could keep some of the nasties at bay

Moppy
sponge arrows to soak up the blood

Rose
(hopefully)

Thicket
Drufle, what would a small library for a school cost?

Drufle (GM)
gosh uh

Thicket
(Thicket now has a healing spell she can attach to ammunition)

Drufle (GM)
probably something like 5-10 gc i'd say

Thicket
I'll buy 10 gc worth of books

Moppy
oh good, the healing shiv

Thicket
its an AOE
:P

Rose
oh yes, Rose also sends out loads, and loads of letters to all the guilds, on all and any paperwork on fey, specifically royalty and their skills

Thicket
I think we're the only guild

Drufle (GM)
youre the only adventuring guild
theres tons of guilds

Rose
though she has a slight inkling that its archery

Thicket
What would a bunch of alchemical equipment cost?
and blank scrolls and the ink needed to make spell scrolls?

Rose
I'm sure i passed a guild once for anyone who didn't want to involve themselves in guild life
there was no members

Moppy
Guild of Procrastinators

Drufle (GM)
the cost of a scroll depends on the rank of the spell

Thicket
hmmm
just the alchemical equipment then
I'll figure out scrolls later

Rose
i think thicket means the raw materials

Drufle (GM)
thatll be a couple of silver

Rose
is scrolls like on parchment?

Drufle (GM)
yes

Thicket
the parchment is a few silvers?
then I just have a bunch of that

Rose
isn't that bark or similar

Drufle (GM)
parchment is so cheap im not gonna make you buy it

Thicket
because its too small a fee to matter

Drufle (GM)
but for the ink youll have to buy that by piece
like it's 2.5 gc to get enough ink to write a rank 3 scroll

Thicket
that's not a whole lot, actually
with how much money we have now at least

Rose
oh guys. ive got to go now. sorry for cutting short but food is ready x

Drufle (GM)
thats fine

Thicket
alright, see ya Rose

Rose
thanks for a fun, fun session xx

Drufle (GM)
yeah rank 3 isnt too expensive but past that things get worse
thanks sam

Thicket waves

Moppy
byeee

Drufle (GM)
im probably gonna have to head out soon too

Thicket
ah

Drufle (GM)
i wasnt planning on this going so long

Moppy
welp

Thicket
talking is not quite a free action

Drufle (GM)
mostly because, you know
i wasnt planning on this going at all

Moppy
we'll have to have another sesh for drumun, wari and russ later on

Drufle (GM)
yeah

Moppy
still, this was enjoyable!

Thicket
I liked it
we solved a major character arc
I'd call that a good day

Drufle (GM)
this was far more progress than i had anticipated

Thicket
Rooting Touch helped a bit
and also they fact that Elven Script was involved
the moment you said that I knew Thicket could get something out of that
or Rose said that

Drufle (GM)
alright im out

Thicket
see ya drufle

Drumun
Next time is pig time
see ya'll then

Wari
"man, what the fuck do I do with all this cash"

Drumun
shrug
