[Thu Jan 26 19:27:54 2006] : (1) Ryner: ooc what? It's a wand being worn like a sword. Surely a paladin shouldn't have such a smutty mind.
[Thu Jan 26 19:28:36 2006] : (1) DM: Soon you're all seated in a sitting room on comfy airchairs besides a blazing log fire.
[Thu Jan 26 19:28:51 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I was afraid this would be one of those strange adventures where we'd have to mix potions and all"
[Thu Jan 26 19:29:02 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "But if you're here, I suppose it won't"

[Thu Jan 26 19:30:02 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Well, I would like to get back home"
[Thu Jan 26 19:30:09 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I don't know about Savaric though"
[Thu Jan 26 19:30:32 2006] : (1) Ryner: "Some extra planar traval can certainly be arranged."
[Thu Jan 26 19:30:54 2006] : (2) Savaric: "How did you know that they were from another plane?"
[Thu Jan 26 19:31:03 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "And I supposed I am not the only one"

[Thu Jan 26 19:31:35 2006] : (1) Ryner: ooc the others are here just not saying anything, happy to follow your lead.
[Thu Jan 26 19:32:16 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Truth to tell, I don't think that Kord minds where I help the needy and the opressed"
[Thu Jan 26 19:32:22 2006] : (1) Ryner: "I had divined that Haldon had disappeared to another plane when I could not detect him on this one."
[Thu Jan 26 19:32:27 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Just as long as I follow my calling"
[Thu Jan 26 19:32:38 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Well you're welcome to follow us"
[Thu Jan 26 19:33:16 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Well, you've seen my world... maybe it's time that I saw yours"
[Thu Jan 26 19:33:34 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "indeed"
[Thu Jan 26 19:33:51 2006] : (1) Ryner: "Take your time to decide, it'll be about a week before I can free Haldon of this orb."
[Thu Jan 26 19:34:01 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Oh, that's good"
[Thu Jan 26 19:34:21 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I mean, not good for him, but I don't mind taking a little tour of the place"
[Thu Jan 26 19:34:23 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Hmm, is there anything to do around here?"
[Thu Jan 26 19:34:34 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I have learned much already from this plane, abut I suppose I can learn more"
[Thu Jan 26 19:34:48 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Any evils that need righting, cruel overlords, that sort of thing?"
[Thu Jan 26 19:34:55 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "That hippogriff for example"
[Thu Jan 26 19:35:07 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: never seen one before
[Thu Jan 26 19:35:09 2006] : (1) Ryner: "Oh I don't know about that sort of thing."
[Thu Jan 26 19:35:54 2006] : (2) Savaric: ooc are we in a city? Can we tell by noise or anything?
[Thu Jan 26 19:36:00 2006] : (1) Ryner: "Hippogriffs are useful creatures, even though they are rather fond of eating other peoples horses. But don't worry, yours will be safe in the stables."
[Thu Jan 26 19:36:31 2006] : (1) Ryner: ooc Can you hear the cries of tortured prisoners deep on the bowels of the castle? No.
[Thu Jan 26 19:36:33 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "So what are the surroundings like?"
[Thu Jan 26 19:36:42 2006] : (2) Savaric: "I'm glad that mine is on Kord's home plane at the minute. I'd hate for her to be hurt"
[Thu Jan 26 19:37:20 2006] : (2) Savaric: ooc LOL, I just meant could we hear city hubbub, or country sounds... we don't know where we are, all we could see was a courtyard
[Thu Jan 26 19:38:01 2006] : (1) Ryner: "This tower is on the edge of the city of Mordavia here the the foothills of the mountains."
[Thu Jan 26 19:38:52 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Ah mountains"
[Thu Jan 26 19:39:07 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I would like to visit a little wild, and learn about flora, fauna and the lots"
[Thu Jan 26 19:39:12 2006] : (1) Ryner: "Not much to say about the area. Sheep farming, mining in the hills. A peaceful, out of the way place."
[Thu Jan 26 19:39:12 2006] : (2) Savaric: "I've never seen mountains before"
[Thu Jan 26 19:39:19 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "All I have learned so far has been second hand"
[Thu Jan 26 19:39:37 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Mostly brown farmlands and small fiefdoms of the south for me"
[Thu Jan 26 19:40:26 2006] : (1) Ryner: "Perhaps, you could ask in the city if there are any monsters form the northlands terrorizing the farmers and miners?"
[Thu Jan 26 19:40:43 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "That would be an option, although I really had something quieter in mind"
[Thu Jan 26 19:40:50 2006] : (1) Ryner: "You occasionally get some hill giants and the like."
[Thu Jan 26 19:40:58 2006] : (2) Savaric: "We can rest if you wish Ayhlanne"
[Thu Jan 26 19:40:59 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Oh well, I suppose, we might as well throw in a little adventure"
[Thu Jan 26 19:41:16 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Rest a bit yes, but I am no closed door woman"
[Thu Jan 26 19:41:55 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Although I'd not like to think that some child came to harm while I idled in the, well I'd say sun, but there seems to be an absece of it around here"
[Thu Jan 26 19:42:09 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Why is it so cold for this time of year?"
[Thu Jan 26 19:42:11 2006] : (1) Ryner: "There are a number of herbalists in the city who would be glad to exchange knowledge of the local flora. And hunters from the hill come to the city to sell their furs. I'd imagine they have tall takes about the local wildlife."
[Thu Jan 26 19:42:45 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "That sounds good"
[Thu Jan 26 19:42:53 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Shall we go then?"
[Thu Jan 26 19:43:16 2006] : (1) Ryner: "You may stay in the guest rooms here if you wish. Or you could find an inn if you prefer."
[Thu Jan 26 19:43:19 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Yes, but let me get some warmer clothes on"
[Thu Jan 26 19:43:20 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Anyone in particular we should meet?"
[Thu Jan 26 19:43:43 2006] : (2) Savaric: "It will take me a while to get the armour off and put some woolens on underneath"
[Thu Jan 26 19:44:33 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Is there some blight that makes this land cold?"
[Thu Jan 26 19:44:46 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I wouldn't mind a day of resting here"
[Thu Jan 26 19:44:55 2006] : (1) Ryner: (chuckles) "It's called being in the north in the mountains."
[Thu Jan 26 19:45:23 2006] : (2) Savaric: "It's colder in the north?"
[Thu Jan 26 19:45:52 2006] : (2) Savaric: "I guess you learn something every day"
[Thu Jan 26 19:46:06 2006] : (2) Savaric: "OK Ayhlanne, shall we rest for today?"
[Thu Jan 26 19:46:40 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Yes"

[Thu Jan 26 19:52:16 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: then maybe not sleeping
[Thu Jan 26 19:52:19 2006] : (2) Savaric: Savaric goes outside, summons Patsy and grabs some much needed clothes from the saddlebags. He then leads her into the stables and instructs her to keep a watch over the other horses and to talk to them and keep them calm

[Thu Jan 26 20:55:24 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Thank you, and sorry for exasperating you. It was not my intention."

[Thu Jan 26 20:56:21 2006] : (1) Clerk: "Sorry, its just been a terrible week. everyone has been in here asking about their shipments. A nightmare I tell you."
[Thu Jan 26 20:56:56 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Well, what do you know of the rumours?"
[Thu Jan 26 20:57:18 2006] : (1) Clerk: "Official guild policy is to deny all rumours."
[Thu Jan 26 20:57:58 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Hmm, you know, if this rumour does turn out to be true, you'll look a bit silly"
[Thu Jan 26 20:58:25 2006] : (2) Savaric: "We came and offered to look into it, you told us to go away"
[Thu Jan 26 20:58:26 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I see. I was trying to help, really. I'll probably be a terrible miner. But I can help with taking care of "rumours"

[Thu Jan 26 21:00:50 2006] : (1) Clerk: "Take this map, (he pushes a map forwards), I... I have friends in those mines and I can do nothing."
[Thu Jan 26 21:01:10 2006] : (1) Clerk: "just don't tell anyone where you got the map from, please?"

[Thu Jan 26 21:03:32 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Maybe we should see what the rumours refer to then"
[Thu Jan 26 21:03:46 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Lets spend some time trying to find out some more info"
[Thu Jan 26 21:04:02 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Yes, that sounds like a good idea"
[Thu Jan 26 21:04:10 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Shall we meet back here in say 3 hours?"
[Thu Jan 26 21:04:13 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I am not sure any miner is going to tell us anything though"
[Thu Jan 26 21:04:19 2006] : (2) Savaric: "I'll try the temples"

[Thu Jan 26 21:07:48 2006] : (1) DM: Ayhlanne, on the otherhand learns that something happened about a week ago.
[Thu Jan 26 21:10:08 2006] : (1) DM: The mining guild, always a close, secretive guild, has become even more evasive and that requests for information garding shipments of ore have been met with insistance that everything is on schedule.
[Thu Jan 26 21:10:40 2006] : (1) DM: But actual movements of copper ore have stopped moving into the city.
[Thu Jan 26 21:11:42 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: 3 hours later....
[Thu Jan 26 21:12:20 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Well, they know about as much as us"

[Thu Jan 26 21:23:33 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: Spot (+2 if Senser wielded) Skill Check: [1d20+10] -> [9,10] = (19)
[Thu Jan 26 21:23:41 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Is there anyone manning it?"
[Thu Jan 26 21:23:59 2006] : (1) DM: ooc um. a handful of guards in chainmail?

[Thu Jan 26 21:33:17 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "You can't talk about it, and yet it chills your blood?"
[Thu Jan 26 21:33:27 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "We've been facing some pretty nasty stuff lately"
[Thu Jan 26 21:33:29 2006] : (1) Guard: "You're not from around here I'm guessin'?"

[Thu Jan 26 21:33:55 2006] : (2) Savaric: "What difference does it make to you if two strangers go up there and end up in trouble?"
[Thu Jan 26 21:34:14 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Or maybe we'll solve all your problems"
[Thu Jan 26 21:34:38 2006] : (1) Guard: "We have our order and let's just say you don't cross the mining guild in these parts."
[Thu Jan 26 21:34:56 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Oh, so the place is deserted?"
[Thu Jan 26 21:35:40 2006] : (1) Guard: "Ha. The miners up there wish they could desert i bet."

[Thu Jan 26 21:39:58 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Why scary? Those guards are happy to obey orders while those behind them suffer"
[Thu Jan 26 21:40:10 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I'm not a diplomat, but you're too armed and holy for these poor chaps"
[Thu Jan 26 21:40:15 2006] : (2) Savaric: "you heard them, they wish to get away, and they are not allowed"
[Thu Jan 26 21:40:20 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I'll get us a way in"
[Thu Jan 26 21:40:38 2006] : (2) Savaric: "You go back, but I cannot allow this oppression of the miners"
[Thu Jan 26 21:40:56 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Sure, we'll help them"

[Thu Jan 26 21:41:34 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I was wondering if there's a place you know where we can stay for the night. Set camp."
[Thu Jan 26 21:42:05 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Not too open so that we can be protected from the cold"
[Thu Jan 26 21:42:13 2006] : (1) Guard: "I'd head back to the city if I were you. I wouldn't stay the night round here."
[Thu Jan 26 21:42:23 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Well, we've seen worse"
[Thu Jan 26 21:42:46 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "And we've been travelling too much already"
[Thu Jan 26 21:42:52 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "The wild is my thing you know"
[Thu Jan 26 21:43:01 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Rather than the city"
[Thu Jan 26 21:43:34 2006] : (1) Guard: The guard shrugs. Uninterested.
[Thu Jan 26 21:43:45 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Can't help?"

[Thu Jan 26 21:45:12 2006] : (1) Guard: "You ain't getting past and you're wasting my time."
[Thu Jan 26 21:45:52 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "you're sure you don't want our help? Will get you out of here in no time. At worst, if the "thing" is so nasty, we'll disappear. Noone will ever know we were here"
[Thu Jan 26 21:46:09 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "What do you have to lose?"
[Thu Jan 26 21:46:19 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Let us slip past at night"
[Thu Jan 26 21:46:24 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Look the other way"

[Thu Jan 26 21:50:42 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "I miss Huerney sometimes, he could just talk anyone into doing anything"
[Thu Jan 26 21:50:54 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "And I still don't think forcing our way in is the right way"

[Thu Jan 26 21:51:39 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Well, I don't think a charger and full plate are quite up to sneaking"
[Thu Jan 26 21:52:08 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Exactly"
[Thu Jan 26 21:52:10 2006] : (2) Savaric: ooc it's not too shiny, I'm not one of those types
[Thu Jan 26 21:52:20 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: ooc k ;)

[Thu Jan 26 21:52:41 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Well, maybe you should charge, while I sneak?"
[Thu Jan 26 21:52:46 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "To each their own"
[Thu Jan 26 21:52:57 2006] : (2) Savaric: "Play to your strengths"

[Thu Jan 26 21:53:54 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Does it have anything like a backway on it?"
[Thu Jan 26 21:53:56 2006] : (2) Savaric: "I still think that we should lose no time"
[Thu Jan 26 21:53:57 2006] : (1) DM: Without a horse you could sneak along the valley sides through the trees.
[Thu Jan 26 21:54:19 2006] : (2) Savaric: "I appreciate you trying to get us through via other means"
[Thu Jan 26 21:54:56 2006] : (2) Savaric: "But I cannot sneak, and I must help those miners who are forced to endure who knows what"

[Thu Jan 26 21:56:34 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Or do we have to fight those poor chaps"
[Thu Jan 26 21:56:44 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "That is what stalls me, I am not afraid of them"
[Thu Jan 26 21:57:02 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "But I am not sure they are so nasty"
[Thu Jan 26 21:57:35 2006] : (2) Savaric: "I won't fight them, they'd have to be mad to block me"
[Thu Jan 26 21:57:59 2006] : (2) Savaric: "But if I'm jumping, then you may as well too."
[Thu Jan 26 21:58:06 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "So I should just follow in your stride?"
[Thu Jan 26 21:58:20 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "OK, then"

[Thu Jan 26 22:00:16 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: ooc yes
[Thu Jan 26 22:00:27 2006] : (2) Savaric: ooc jump is a DC 15 ride check
[Thu Jan 26 22:00:53 2006] : (1) DM: As you both gallop at the barrier the guards shout and wave before diving out of the way of the flashing hooves.
[Thu Jan 26 22:01:14 2006] : (1) DM: Savaric leaps the barrier....

[Thu Jan 26 22:04:00 2006] : (3) Ayhlanne: "Well, sure something I would not have done on my onwn"
