[Thu Sep 22 19:49:57 2005] : (1) Belros: "This ship was seized by use from a crew of slavers. We have released the slaves and they are helping us"

[Thu Sep 22 19:55:20 2005] : (2) Captain: It appoaches and pulls along side the ship.
[Thu Sep 22 19:55:41 2005] : (2) Captain: Your crew throws out a line to the boarding party.

[Thu Sep 22 19:57:53 2005] : (2) Captain: The captain looks at a tablet in his hand. "Are you carrying any pearls, or timber?"
[Thu Sep 22 19:58:28 2005] : (2) Captain: "Just filling out he paper-work you understand"
[Thu Sep 22 19:58:30 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "I'm not, but I don't know about the cargo of this ship"
[Thu Sep 22 19:58:36 2005] : (1) Belros: "We have no idea. As I said it was not our ship"

[Thu Sep 22 19:59:44 2005] : (1) Belros: "When we have reached our destination, I thought we could hand it over to its current crew"
[Thu Sep 22 19:59:45 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "The slavers slain at our hand, we claim the right of capture."
[Thu Sep 22 19:59:57 2005] : (2) Captain: "You really aren't from this part of the world are you. Are you from the northern lands?"
[Thu Sep 22 20:00:29 2005] : (1) Belros: "Well, we're not really from anywhere around here"
[Thu Sep 22 20:00:51 2005] : (1) Belros: "at least, not that we know of"
[Thu Sep 22 20:01:01 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "Do you have time? It's quite a long tale"
[Thu Sep 22 20:01:40 2005] : (1) Belros: "I'm sure the Captain has more important things to do"
[Thu Sep 22 20:01:42 2005] : (2) Captain: One of his soldiers salutes. "Nothing on the ship, sir."
[Thu Sep 22 20:02:26 2005] : (2) Captain: "Seems your ship is clean, you may proceed to the harbour."

[Thu Sep 22 20:05:35 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "At once, if we can."
[Thu Sep 22 20:05:54 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "That sounds like a great idea"
[Thu Sep 22 20:06:22 2005] : (2) Oram: Oram makes it so. And the shp is soon sliding through the placid waters of the bay towards the harbour. The warship shadowing from a short distance away.

[Thu Sep 22 20:08:11 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc ok, I wont tell you

[Thu Sep 22 20:09:15 2005] : (2) Oram: "Time off ship is always appreciated. What time do you wish to depart?"
[Thu Sep 22 20:09:23 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Friends?"
[Thu Sep 22 20:09:45 2005] : (1) Belros: "We have no idea. All we are here for is charts to the North"
[Thu Sep 22 20:10:14 2005] : (2) Oram: Oram scratches his head.
[Thu Sep 22 20:10:40 2005] : (1) Belros: "We could stay here for a day a presume"
[Thu Sep 22 20:10:53 2005] : (2) Oram: "A day it is then."
[Thu Sep 22 20:11:12 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "That might be nice, a bit of solid ground under foot for a full day"
[Thu Sep 22 20:11:19 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Anna grins
[Thu Sep 22 20:11:39 2005] : (1) Belros: "It may take longer, but I see no reason to spend less time"
[Thu Sep 22 20:12:36 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "So we all meet back aboard in 24 hours and then we decide what to do next"
[Thu Sep 22 20:12:45 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Do any of you know anything about this port?"
[Thu Sep 22 20:12:59 2005] : (1) Belros: "That sounds like a plan, Anna"
[Thu Sep 22 20:13:15 2005] : (2) Oram: "Never docked here before."
[Thu Sep 22 20:13:34 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Then we shall learn it ourselves."
[Thu Sep 22 20:13:39 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "Would that be agreeable to you too, Oram?"

[Thu Sep 22 20:14:37 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "Very well then, let's find us some maps and a drink, not necessarily in that order"
[Thu Sep 22 20:15:47 2005] : (1) Belros: "Now THATS a plan"
[Thu Sep 22 20:16:01 2005] : (2) Oram: Most of the crew disembarks and heads into town. The remaining few sit around grumbling about being on guard.
[Thu Sep 22 20:16:02 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "I wonder if this world knows ale"
[Thu Sep 22 20:16:07 2005] : (1) Belros: "Two night at sea is more than I like"

[Thu Sep 22 20:17:26 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc I may regret bringing attention to this, but are pointy elf-ears normal on this plane, or do I have to do a 'Spock' and wear a woolly hat to cover them?
[Thu Sep 22 20:17:50 2005] : (2) DM: ooc No one's commented on your ears so far.
[Thu Sep 22 20:18:09 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc politicians answer :P

[Thu Sep 22 20:19:42 2005] : (2) Oram: "Gold is not common in these islands."
[Thu Sep 22 20:19:59 2005] : (2) Oram: "May I suggest you pay with silver or copper. Or pearls."
[Thu Sep 22 20:20:19 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "Silver and copper will be fine"
[Thu Sep 22 20:20:34 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "Thank you so much for your advice, Oram"

[Thu Sep 22 20:23:34 2005] : (2) DM: There are a few taverns around the harbour. Or at least you assume so from the signs.
[Thu Sep 22 20:23:43 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "Most harbours I ever heard off have inns nearby"
[Thu Sep 22 20:23:46 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Let us choose a tavern, then, and ask there."
[Thu Sep 22 20:23:54 2005] : (1) Belros: Belros points to the nicest looking sign

[Thu Sep 22 20:27:29 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "One of these should do for a start; we can take care of ourselves, I think."
[Thu Sep 22 20:27:34 2005] : (1) Belros: "I dont like the look of these places. Maybe we should keep looking"
[Thu Sep 22 20:28:04 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "So long as we do not ask the innkeeper 'where is a nicer hostelry?'!"

[Thu Sep 22 20:31:02 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Better not to go in them drunk, unless you have nothing to lose!"
[Thu Sep 22 20:31:22 2005] : (1) Belros: "Further from the port may have more knowledgable people which is what we need"
[Thu Sep 22 20:31:44 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Then we'll carry on walking, as there are two of you in favour of that."
[Thu Sep 22 20:31:45 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "Just klidding, slightly"

[Thu Sep 22 21:53:12 2005] : (2) Falin: Falin gestures with a hand at one of his bodyguards.
[Thu Sep 22 21:53:44 2005] : (2) Falin: The bodyguard moves to follow Anna
[Thu Sep 22 21:54:22 2005] : (2) Falin: "Dear me. I appear to not have your full concentration. Perhaps, you're not so keen on reaching an arrangement after all?"
[Thu Sep 22 21:54:50 2005] : (1) Belros: "please excuse our friend. She is still a little quesy after a few days at sea"
[Thu Sep 22 21:55:29 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, Are you going to hide form the guard?
[Thu Sep 22 21:55:32 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "I am interested in making a deal, though not desperate. A desperate man is in a position of weakness, and may become reckless."
[Thu Sep 22 21:55:44 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): Of course
[Thu Sep 22 21:56:11 2005] : (2) Falin: [1d20+5] -> [2,5] = (7)
[Thu Sep 22 21:57:14 2005] : (2) Falin: Falin shrugs. "Then perhaps we cannot have a deal. You may leave."
[Thu Sep 22 21:57:30 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Why might we not have a deal?"
[Thu Sep 22 21:57:51 2005] : (1) Belros: "Lets not be too hasty here"
[Thu Sep 22 21:58:11 2005] : (2) Falin: "Possibly I think think you're sufficiently trustworthy."
[Thu Sep 22 21:58:30 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: ooc ?
[Thu Sep 22 21:58:40 2005] : (2) Falin: "Possibly I think you're not sufficiently trustworthy."
[Thu Sep 22 21:58:55 2005] : (1) Belros: "How can we demonstrate that we are, my Lord?"
[Thu Sep 22 21:59:10 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "I have given you no reason to believe that. Nor, I believe, have my comrades."
[Thu Sep 22 21:59:53 2005] : (2) Falin: "I think your now absent companion is not such an example of trustworthiness."
[Thu Sep 22 22:00:55 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Absent?"
[Thu Sep 22 22:01:01 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: Shev looks around
[Thu Sep 22 22:01:11 2005] : (1) Belros: "My Lord, I ask that you give us a chance to prove ourselves"
[Thu Sep 22 22:01:26 2005] : (2) Falin: "Though I will conceed that perhaps what you say is true and she only needs a little fresh air. We shall await her return a little while."
[Thu Sep 22 22:01:29 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Were she mine to command, she would be disciplined for this. However, we work as equals, not as a hierarchy."
[Thu Sep 22 22:01:43 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "She might have announced her intent."
[Thu Sep 22 22:02:00 2005] : (2) Falin: Falin appears to be ignoring you now. Concentrating on his paperwork.
[Thu Sep 22 22:02:09 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: ooc Disappointed you can't discipline me? ;)
[Thu Sep 22 22:02:41 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: ooc :-P
[Thu Sep 22 22:02:44 2005] : (2) Falin: After a few minutes the bodyguard returns and whispers something to Falin
[Thu Sep 22 22:03:32 2005] : (2) Falin: "I see your companion is as sneaky and devious as she claims."
[Thu Sep 22 22:03:43 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Oh?"
[Thu Sep 22 22:03:44 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, Meanwhile....
[Thu Sep 22 22:04:30 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, You follow the seneschal to the barracks where he instructs a number of soldiers to seize a certain ship in the harbour.
[Thu Sep 22 22:04:32 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: ooc I take offence at that remark!
[Thu Sep 22 22:05:06 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, What are you doing?
[Thu Sep 22 22:05:15 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): I run to the ship
[Thu Sep 22 22:05:20 2005] : (1) Belros: "Just consider how that ability could be utilised for you, my Lord"
[Thu Sep 22 22:05:41 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, Um. How are you going to make it out of the compound?
[Thu Sep 22 22:06:04 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Of course, the veracity of her assertion may be considered evidence of her honesty, though not of her control over her curiosity."
[Thu Sep 22 22:06:27 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): Oops, missed that, I try to sneak out of the grounds before I start running
[Thu Sep 22 22:07:16 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, It's broad daylight, you're hiding, not invisible. You dont' think you can make it past the guards on the gate sneaking.
[Thu Sep 22 22:07:45 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): In that case, I return to my friends
[Thu Sep 22 22:08:03 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, You could have tried someother way.
[Thu Sep 22 22:08:28 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): Right, let me think a moment ...
[Thu Sep 22 22:09:10 2005] : (2) Falin: "Curiosity is not a trait I welcome overmuch."
[Thu Sep 22 22:09:29 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): I try to find a place near the walls that's obscured by trees or shrubbery
[Thu Sep 22 22:09:40 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, Plenty of those.
[Thu Sep 22 22:10:33 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): Go there, swing a hook to attach a rope to the top, climb it and jump down
[Thu Sep 22 22:10:35 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Then its presence should not disturb you overmuch, either. Information is a tool, and a powerful one."
[Thu Sep 22 22:11:09 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): What checks, apart of climb?
[Thu Sep 22 22:11:20 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, Move silently and hide.
[Thu Sep 22 22:11:29 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Hide Skill Check: [1d20+28] -> [16,28] = (44)
[Thu Sep 22 22:11:32 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Move Silently Skill Check: [1d20+26] -> [7,26] = (33)
[Thu Sep 22 22:11:34 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, And jump
[Thu Sep 22 22:11:39 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Climb Skill Check: [1d20+3] -> [9,3] = (12)
[Thu Sep 22 22:11:41 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Jump Skill Check: [1d20+12] -> [9,12] = (21)
[Thu Sep 22 22:11:52 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: ooc Knotted rope
[Thu Sep 22 22:12:19 2005] : (2) Falin: ooc one moment.
[Thu Sep 22 22:12:34 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: ooc Oops, meant to whisper that ;)
[Thu Sep 22 22:13:04 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc /me is intruiged
[Thu Sep 22 22:13:08 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc brb
[Thu Sep 22 22:13:19 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, Make it a tumble roll not a jump.
[Thu Sep 22 22:13:26 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Tumble Skill Check: [1d20+2] -> [17,2] = (19)
[Thu Sep 22 22:13:49 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): Taking my rope with me, of course
[Thu Sep 22 22:14:10 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran (whispering): I'm happy to wait a bit until you're done with H, if you prefer.
[Thu Sep 22 22:14:50 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, You land softly and roll.
[Thu Sep 22 22:14:59 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, Dashing for the ship?
[Thu Sep 22 22:15:11 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): At full speed
[Thu Sep 22 22:15:45 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, You easily make it to the ship before the soldiers, Oram and 6 of the crew are lazying about on deck.
[Thu Sep 22 22:16:27 2005] : (2) Falin: ooc okay, many moments. Anna, is still being sneaky.
[Thu Sep 22 22:16:30 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): I tell them to get the hell out of there and give them some silvers to spend in one of the pubs
[Thu Sep 22 22:16:55 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, Oram asks about leaving the ship unguarded.
[Thu Sep 22 22:17:37 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): I tell them the soldiers are coming and that their lives and freedom are more important than a damn ship, unless they want to take her out to sea
[Thu Sep 22 22:18:00 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): Their ship, their choice
[Thu Sep 22 22:18:26 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, Oram explains that 8 aren't enough to sail her and orders the remaining crew to leave and warn the others and to lay low.
[Thu Sep 22 22:18:48 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc back
[Thu Sep 22 22:18:59 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc naughty naughty
[Thu Sep 22 22:19:06 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): I ask him where the others are
[Thu Sep 22 22:19:19 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, They're probably in various pubs and brothels.
[Thu Sep 22 22:19:36 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, They are sailors after all.
[Thu Sep 22 22:19:43 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): I tell him to leave as well before running back
[Thu Sep 22 22:20:01 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, k.
[Thu Sep 22 22:20:08 2005] : (2) Falin: ooc Back to the others.
[Thu Sep 22 22:20:26 2005] : (2) Falin: "I think we've waited long enough. You may leave."
[Thu Sep 22 22:20:41 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): Same route, same place over the walls
[Thu Sep 22 22:20:45 2005] : (2) Falin: "Perhaps, we could discuss business later when you have more motivation."
[Thu Sep 22 22:20:53 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Move Silently Skill Check: [1d20+26] -> [1,26] = (27)
[Thu Sep 22 22:20:55 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Hide Skill Check: [1d20+28] -> [8,28] = (36)
[Thu Sep 22 22:21:01 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Climb Skill Check: [1d20+3] -> [19,3] = (22)
[Thu Sep 22 22:21:03 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Jump Skill Check: [1d20+12] -> [17,12] = (29)
[Thu Sep 22 22:21:23 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): Just strolling back in, not hiding anymore
[Thu Sep 22 22:21:36 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, Hold on, you're still on the way back
[Thu Sep 22 22:21:37 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Tumble Skill Check: [1d20+2] -> [12,2] = (14)
[Thu Sep 22 22:21:47 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): Sorry
[Thu Sep 22 22:22:06 2005] : (2) Falin: The bodyguards move forwards to escort you out of the hall.
[Thu Sep 22 22:22:12 2005] : (1) Belros: "If my Lord is certain, then we shall comply with his request"
[Thu Sep 22 22:22:36 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "You may contact us at our ship. Our navigator, Oram, will take a message on our behalf."
[Thu Sep 22 22:22:55 2005] : (2) Falin: "Noted."
[Thu Sep 22 22:24:07 2005] : (2) Falin: The Seneschal meets you outside and leads you to the gate where you are handed back your weapons.
[Thu Sep 22 22:24:28 2005] : (1) Belros: "Hmmm, I wonder where she went, and why"
[Thu Sep 22 22:24:39 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "In good condition. My thanks."
[Thu Sep 22 22:24:49 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, As you return you see the others just leaving the gatehouse.
[Thu Sep 22 22:25:12 2005] : (1) Belros: Belros pockets his daggers
[Thu Sep 22 22:25:32 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): Still going in over the wall
[Thu Sep 22 22:25:45 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "She will most likely rejoin us soon."
[Thu Sep 22 22:25:56 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, k. Then what?
[Thu Sep 22 22:26:13 2005] : (2) DM: The rest of you heading back to the ship?
[Thu Sep 22 22:26:29 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: Not just yet.
[Thu Sep 22 22:26:31 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): Stroll through the park, back to the palace, looking as innocent as I can manage
[Thu Sep 22 22:26:52 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, The seneschal sees you and calls out to you.
[Thu Sep 22 22:27:21 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): I go over to him and greet him, telling him I'm much better now
[Thu Sep 22 22:28:05 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, He says something polite and indicates the way to the gate.
[Thu Sep 22 22:28:20 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: Waiting for our missing colleague.
[Thu Sep 22 22:28:23 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): I ask about my friends
[Thu Sep 22 22:28:32 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, They've already left.
[Thu Sep 22 22:29:11 2005] : (4) Eiltranna (whispering): I thank him for his time, get my weapons back and walk out of the gate
[Thu Sep 22 22:29:36 2005] : (2) DM: Anna rejoins you outside having just left the palace via the gatehouse.
[Thu Sep 22 22:29:38 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: Anna walks out of the gate, accompanied by the seneschal
[Thu Sep 22 22:29:55 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "Leaving already?"
[Thu Sep 22 22:30:17 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Waiting for you. Let us walk."
[Thu Sep 22 22:30:52 2005] : (1) Belros: Belros walks ahead without comment
[Thu Sep 22 22:31:06 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "So, what news?"
[Thu Sep 22 22:31:08 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "Don't go back to the harbour just yet"
[Thu Sep 22 22:31:24 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Why not?"
[Thu Sep 22 22:32:09 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "The seneschal was told to: take care of the ship, and he sent the soldiers out. I've warned the crew, they're lying low and so should we"
[Thu Sep 22 22:32:49 2005] : (1) Belros: "Take care of it?"
[Thu Sep 22 22:33:03 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "If we were to defend our ship, we could confront this cheat of a lord. Alternatively, we could steal another ship."
[Thu Sep 22 22:33:14 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "That's all I could understand, just those few words"
[Thu Sep 22 22:34:07 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "Let's find a place where I can change, I might be able to take a closer look without being recognised"
[Thu Sep 22 22:34:59 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Very well."
[Thu Sep 22 22:36:05 2005] : (2) DM: Another inn?
[Thu Sep 22 22:36:17 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: We might as well
[Thu Sep 22 22:36:22 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: Better than many other options.
[Thu Sep 22 22:36:51 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "I didn't dare to warn you, that lord would not have taken kindly to me crying treason, I thought"
[Thu Sep 22 22:37:12 2005] : (1) Belros: "Where did you go?"
[Thu Sep 22 22:37:33 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Agreed. It is no surprise that he was unwilling to negotiate with us."
[Thu Sep 22 22:38:12 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "First I followed that seneschal to the barracks, then I climbed the wall to get out, ran to the harbour, ran back, climbed in again and pretended I was just taking a walk in the parks"
[Thu Sep 22 22:38:54 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "I saw you coming out as I came back" Anna grins
[Thu Sep 22 22:39:14 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "How dangerous did the soldiers look? My armour is on the ship, and I am much less able to stand combat for long without it."
[Thu Sep 22 22:39:44 2005] : whispering to Eiltranna, Well equipped and disciplined.
[Thu Sep 22 22:39:53 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "They seemed to be well up to the job, but I didn't stop to look"
[Thu Sep 22 22:40:16 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "But would you expect soldiers here to be soft? With an employer like that?"
[Thu Sep 22 22:40:39 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "That is awkward. Later, of course, they may reduce the guard a little."
[Thu Sep 22 22:40:50 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "Their equipment was certainly up to scratch and they behaved disciplined"
[Thu Sep 22 22:41:41 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "Apart from my armour, was there anything of value or use onboard? We may be wise to... appropriate one of Falin's vessels when we leave here."
[Thu Sep 22 22:42:13 2005] : (1) Belros: "I left nothing onboard"
[Thu Sep 22 22:42:40 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "I carry all my belongings on my back"
[Thu Sep 22 22:42:40 2005] : (2) DM: ooc Belros, the pack mule. ;)
[Thu Sep 22 22:43:24 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc got my spellbook and 2 (unused) daggers
[Thu Sep 22 22:43:52 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc assumed everything else was left behind on our home plane
[Thu Sep 22 22:43:56 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: "I might be able to retrieve your armour, I can but try"
[Thu Sep 22 22:44:07 2005] : (3) Tar Shevran: "That would be excellent, if youcould."
[Thu Sep 22 22:44:11 2005] : (2) DM: ooc I thought I made it clear that all your gear came through too?
[Thu Sep 22 22:44:44 2005] : (1) Belros: even stuff I would've left on my horse?
[Thu Sep 22 22:45:04 2005] : (2) DM: ooc Yes. Only the horses themselves didn't make it.
[Thu Sep 22 22:45:30 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc ok, still not got much :)
[Thu Sep 22 22:45:37 2005] : (2) DM: ooc Though, if it's too much to carry you probably left some stuff behind on the 1st island.
[Thu Sep 22 22:46:22 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc all except crossbow would fit in my packpack
[Thu Sep 22 22:46:30 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc backpack
[Thu Sep 22 22:46:39 2005] : (4) Eiltranna: ooc And you would never leave that, of course
[Thu Sep 22 22:47:28 2005] : (1) Belros: ooc like the daggers, I've never used it
[Thu Sep 22 22:47:47 2005] : (2) DM: You find a reasonable inn to hole up inside for a while.
[Thu Sep 22 22:48:45 2005] : (2) DM: I think we'll end it here.
[Thu Sep 22 22:48:47 2005] : (2) DM: GAME END
