[Wed Oct 21 19:56:57 2015] : Vaddyn: neither do we :)
[Wed Oct 21 19:57:38 2015] : Koro: (whispering): I could run a bit of Zeitgeist if you like
[Wed Oct 21 19:57:42 2015] : Koro: (whispering): your call
[Wed Oct 21 19:57:45 2015] : Hildy: Well, we need to get back to the volcano for a start...
[Wed Oct 21 19:57:57 2015] : Hildy: That could take us weeks of real time ;-)
[Wed Oct 21 19:58:14 2015] : Koro: :)
[Wed Oct 21 19:58:43 2015] : DM: yeah

[Wed Oct 21 19:59:22 2015] : Koro: sorry about the spam - I've been making a node in quiet moments but haven't had a chance to test much of it
[Wed Oct 21 19:59:28 2015] : Koro: Unarmed Strike: Full Attack: Attack: [1d20(15) + 17] = 32 - Damage: [2d6(6,3) + 8] = 17 HP.

[Wed Oct 21 19:59:32 2015] : Koro: yes
[Wed Oct 21 19:59:33 2015] : Hildy: Yes
[Wed Oct 21 19:59:48 2015] : Hildy: Just listening to the new Squeeze album
[Wed Oct 21 19:59:57 2015] : Vaddyn: pretty much
[Wed Oct 21 20:00:06 2015] : Vaddyn: theres a new Squeeze album?
[Wed Oct 21 20:01:08 2015] : Hildy: Yeah, commisioned for the BBC show Cradle to Grave
[Wed Oct 21 20:01:15 2015] : Vaddyn: ahh
[Wed Oct 21 20:01:29 2015] : Hildy: Which is (loosely) based on Danny Baker's early life
[Wed Oct 21 20:01:40 2015] : Vaddyn: heard about it. never watched it
[Wed Oct 21 20:01:43 2015] : Hildy: I'm not sure how loosely ;-)
[Wed Oct 21 20:01:46 2015] : Hildy: It's good
[Wed Oct 21 20:01:52 2015] : Hildy: Still on iPlayer
[Wed Oct 21 20:02:10 2015] : DM: GAME START
[Wed Oct 21 20:03:00 2015] : DM: You ambushed a mail coach and retreived a letter which you exchanged for permits allowing you access to the old wizard's laboratory in the volcano.
[Wed Oct 21 20:03:40 2015] : DM: You seem to have go away with the crime clean. No one is looking for you.
[Wed Oct 21 20:05:02 2015] : DM: What's your next step?
[Wed Oct 21 20:05:06 2015] : Vaddyn: "No sense holding on to this longer than we have to"
[Wed Oct 21 20:05:32 2015] : Hildy: "I should probably see if the city managed to remove the wall I placed over the bridge"
[Wed Oct 21 20:05:49 2015] : Hildy: "I can at least remove the wall as a kindly citizen"
[Wed Oct 21 20:06:42 2015] : DM: ooc the spell leaves a permanent wall?
[Wed Oct 21 20:06:54 2015] : Hildy: ooc yes, it was wall of stone
[Wed Oct 21 20:07:42 2015] : Hildy: "I can stone shape it into something else"
[Wed Oct 21 20:09:26 2015] : DM: If you head back to the bridge you find the wall is already being broken apart and carted away by workers.
[Wed Oct 21 20:09:30 2015] : Hildy: "I don't like to think that I've left a permanent obstacle to city life"
[Wed Oct 21 20:09:42 2015] : Hildy: "Hmm, looks like they have it sorted"
[Wed Oct 21 20:10:07 2015] : DM: There's also a heavier presence of guards. Both in city livery and the personal guards of the councillor.
[Wed Oct 21 20:11:30 2015] : Hildy: "We should arrange transport back to the volcano, I guess"
[Wed Oct 21 20:12:18 2015] : Vaddyn: "Once we collect the permits"
[Wed Oct 21 20:12:33 2015] : DM: ooc you already have them
[Wed Oct 21 20:12:52 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc sorry, missed that
[Wed Oct 21 20:15:09 2015] : Vaddyn: "Shall we head back to the river. See if we can find passage?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:16:45 2015] : Hildy: "We'll need our horses first"
[Wed Oct 21 20:16:52 2015] : Vaddyn: "Good point"
[Wed Oct 21 20:17:10 2015] : Vaddyn: "Lead on"
[Wed Oct 21 20:17:17 2015] : Hildy: Hildy heads back to the inn, settles up his outstanding bill and livery charges and takes his horse to the docks
[Wed Oct 21 20:17:24 2015] : Koro: ooc sorry about the delay - had a phonecall
[Wed Oct 21 20:17:27 2015] : Koro: ooc back now
[Wed Oct 21 20:18:30 2015] : Koro: Koro heads to his lodgings, and quietly removes his belongings. He leaves two months' rent on the bed, with a note saying "My apologies. I have been called away by my work. I expect to return soon; please keep the room for me."
[Wed Oct 21 20:19:01 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc mysterious...
[Wed Oct 21 20:19:06 2015] : DM: At the riverside docks there appears to be some sort of commotion.
[Wed Oct 21 20:19:15 2015] : Vaddyn: "Vaddyn settles up and heads to the docks"
[Wed Oct 21 20:20:01 2015] : Akiak: ooc here
[Wed Oct 21 20:20:09 2015] : Hildy: ooc is Vaddyn monologuing in the 3rd person?
[Wed Oct 21 20:20:22 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc :P
[Wed Oct 21 20:20:25 2015] : Koro: ooc I did tell the guards where I live - I think a bit of distance from the scene might be useful.
[Wed Oct 21 20:20:57 2015] : DM: An angry crowd of dockworkers has gathered, shouting angrily.
[Wed Oct 21 20:21:36 2015] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn approaches an onlooker
[Wed Oct 21 20:21:46 2015] : Vaddyn: "Whats going on?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:21:51 2015] : Koro: "This could be a mild nuisance."
[Wed Oct 21 20:22:32 2015] : Akiak: "What's up here?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:22:35 2015] : Onlooker: "One of the dockers is found dead in the river this morning and the city guard are refusing to investigate, saying it was an accident."
[Wed Oct 21 20:23:02 2015] : Onlooker: "Dockers are striking."
[Wed Oct 21 20:23:04 2015] : Vaddyn: "and the workers disagree?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:23:33 2015] : Koro: "The city guard were very busy this morning. There was an attack at one of the bridges."
[Wed Oct 21 20:23:43 2015] : Onlooker: "Aye, so it would seem. Don't know why though. Drownings by drunk dockers is not uncommon."
[Wed Oct 21 20:23:48 2015] : Vaddyn: "yes, we heard about that. Shocking!"
[Wed Oct 21 20:24:04 2015] : Koro: "Strange creatures from the ground... I think perhaps they are afraid of the land objecting to this city."
[Wed Oct 21 20:24:12 2015] : Koro: "I was there!"
[Wed Oct 21 20:24:54 2015] : Onlooker: "I heard a mail coach was attacked but nothing was stolen."
[Wed Oct 21 20:25:14 2015] : Vaddyn: "Thats a strange thing to do"
[Wed Oct 21 20:25:21 2015] : Hildy: "But what's this about a dead docker?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:25:28 2015] : Koro: "I saw no-one enter the coach... but I was busy fighting the creatures."
[Wed Oct 21 20:25:35 2015] : Hildy: "Was there something unusual?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:25:52 2015] : Vaddyn: "We were hoping to secure passage. Who is the leader of the Dockers?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:25:57 2015] : Onlooker: "That's all I know. I wouldn't get involved if I were you. The dockers can be a rough lot."
[Wed Oct 21 20:26:27 2015] : Koro: "I think, perhaps, we can handle a small disagreement."
[Wed Oct 21 20:26:27 2015] : Vaddyn: "I'm sure they can listen to reason"
[Wed Oct 21 20:26:39 2015] : Koro: Koro looms a little.
[Wed Oct 21 20:27:07 2015] : Onlooker: "Julio Fernando. That's him over there." (he points to a well built man with close-cropped grey hair standing at the fore of the crowd of dockers)
[Wed Oct 21 20:28:07 2015] : Vaddyn: "Thank you my friend. You have been most helpful"
[Wed Oct 21 20:28:21 2015] : Koro: "Thank you. Julio Fernando, hmm?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:28:23 2015] : Hildy: Hildy hands the man 2 coppers
[Wed Oct 21 20:28:24 2015] : Koro: Knowledge Local: [1d20(10) + 7] = 17
[Wed Oct 21 20:29:46 2015] : whispering to Koro, He is known to be tough but fair.
[Wed Oct 21 20:29:56 2015] : Vaddyn: Vaddyn approaches the indicated man
[Wed Oct 21 20:30:07 2015] : Koro: "I think he will listen, but he is not known for weakness."
[Wed Oct 21 20:30:21 2015] : Vaddyn: "Good day sir"
[Wed Oct 21 20:30:22 2015] : Koro: "Though you cannot lead a crowd like this if you are weak."
[Wed Oct 21 20:30:57 2015] : Julio: "What do you want?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:31:45 2015] : Vaddyn: "I... we, would like to help you get back to work"
[Wed Oct 21 20:32:08 2015] : Koro: "We want passage, simply put. But it seems there is a problem to solve first; and we are, above all, solvers of problems."
[Wed Oct 21 20:32:47 2015] : Koro: "If this death was an accident, then we will find out. If it was not... then perhaps we shall deal justice by accident, shall we say, as we find the truth."
[Wed Oct 21 20:32:59 2015] : Julio: (he looks interested) "You could do no worse than these useless city guards. One of our own is murdered and dumped in the river and they do nothing."
[Wed Oct 21 20:33:19 2015] : Vaddyn: "Why do you say it was murder?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:33:21 2015] : Hildy: "Is there a corpse?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:33:36 2015] : Hildy: "There are ways to ask questions of the dead"
[Wed Oct 21 20:33:39 2015] : Julio: "Aye, you can inspect the body and see for yourself."
[Wed Oct 21 20:33:44 2015] : Hildy: "You would be welcome to oversee"
[Wed Oct 21 20:34:10 2015] : Julio: "Simeon was a steady man, not one to drink and fall in the river."
[Wed Oct 21 20:34:22 2015] : Hildy: "I will need to pray for 15 minutes for Domestos to grant me the ability"
[Wed Oct 21 20:34:51 2015] : Koro: "You must excuse my colleague. Perhaps the rest of us might ask questions of the living, in the meanwhile."
[Wed Oct 21 20:35:12 2015] : Julio: "Go ahead"
[Wed Oct 21 20:35:55 2015] : Hildy: Hildy takes the time to pray for the spell
[Wed Oct 21 20:36:36 2015] : Koro: "You say Simeon, rest him well, was not one to fall in the river. Did he have enemies who might... help him fall?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:37:48 2015] : Julio: "Not that I am aware off."
[Wed Oct 21 20:38:18 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc brb
[Wed Oct 21 20:38:51 2015] : Koro: "No enemies, and no likely cause of an accident. So. Have there been other deaths?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:39:41 2015] : Julio: "Not among the dockers."
[Wed Oct 21 20:40:09 2015] : Koro: "So not the work of a systematic murderer. Something more... subtle."
[Wed Oct 21 20:40:54 2015] : Koro: "Pardon me for saying it, but I do at least understand why the Guard concluded this looked like an accident. But then, a clever murderer would want his crimes to look like an accident in any case."
[Wed Oct 21 20:40:55 2015] : Julio: "I can't say."
[Wed Oct 21 20:40:56 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc back
[Wed Oct 21 20:41:15 2015] : Vaddyn: "Was he seen drinking?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:41:58 2015] : Hildy: Hildy keeps praying
[Wed Oct 21 20:42:17 2015] : Julio: "No."
[Wed Oct 21 20:43:32 2015] : Vaddyn: "Hmm, who was the last to see him alive?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:45:52 2015] : Julio: "He hired on with Captain Xavier on the Black Gull."
[Wed Oct 21 20:46:33 2015] : Koro: "Not a species of bird I know."
[Wed Oct 21 20:46:42 2015] : Vaddyn: "Can you point us to this Captain?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:47:25 2015] : Julio: "Aye." he indicates a medium sized river barge tied up on the bank
[Wed Oct 21 20:48:21 2015] : Vaddyn: "Thank you. Lets see if Hildy is ready"
[Wed Oct 21 20:48:56 2015] : Hildy: Hildy is waiting patiently
[Wed Oct 21 20:49:03 2015] : Hildy: "Let me see..."
[Wed Oct 21 20:49:14 2015] : Hildy: "I'll get to ask 4 questions"
[Wed Oct 21 20:49:50 2015] : Hildy: "They'll need to be simple, and the answers may be a bit brief, cryptic or repetitive"
[Wed Oct 21 20:50:07 2015] : Hildy: "So, let's decide in advance what we may want to ask"
[Wed Oct 21 20:50:18 2015] : Vaddyn: "How about we start with Were you murdered"
[Wed Oct 21 20:50:20 2015] : Hildy: "1) Were you murdered"
[Wed Oct 21 20:50:26 2015] : Hildy: "Agreed"
[Wed Oct 21 20:50:47 2015] : Hildy: "2) Did you know your murderer?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:50:47 2015] : Vaddyn: "Who killed you"
[Wed Oct 21 20:51:10 2015] : Koro: "I suspect that, if our victim knows who his murderer was, life will be quite simple."
[Wed Oct 21 20:51:19 2015] : Koro: "Life is never that easy."
[Wed Oct 21 20:52:34 2015] : Koro: "But if we do not ask, we will not know."
[Wed Oct 21 20:53:03 2015] : Akiak: "Can you describe your murderer"
[Wed Oct 21 20:53:07 2015] : Koro: "Wait. Can you tell how he was killed?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:53:15 2015] : Koro: "And Akiak, that is a better question."
[Wed Oct 21 20:53:44 2015] : Vaddyn: "The answer to that could be 'Yes, I can describe him' "
[Wed Oct 21 20:54:01 2015] : Hildy: "The simpler the answer, the more likely we get a sensible and understandable answer"
[Wed Oct 21 20:54:35 2015] : Hildy: "Did you see who killed you"
[Wed Oct 21 20:54:39 2015] : Hildy: "?"
[Wed Oct 21 20:55:47 2015] : Hildy: "OK, this will take me a while"
[Wed Oct 21 20:55:58 2015] : Hildy: ooc spell cast time is 10 minutes
[Wed Oct 21 20:56:27 2015] : Koro: ooc we can wait :-D
[Wed Oct 21 20:56:45 2015] : Hildy: Hildy puts some candles around the body, sprinkles some holy water and makes some complicated gestures
[Wed Oct 21 20:57:17 2015] : Hildy: Hildy then kneels next to the body, rests his head on the chest of the corpse and prays to Domestos
[Wed Oct 21 20:57:22 2015] : Julio: On first seeing the body you notice it appears unusually pale.
[Wed Oct 21 20:57:42 2015] : Vaddyn: Heal: [1d20(12) + -1] = 11
[Wed Oct 21 20:57:55 2015] : Hildy: Heal: [1d20(14) + 6 + 0] = 20
[Wed Oct 21 20:57:58 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc trying to determine why its so pale
[Wed Oct 21 20:58:17 2015] : whispering to Hildy, The corpse looks to be drained of blood.
[Wed Oct 21 20:59:21 2015] : Hildy: Hildy makes a mental note of his observations on the corpse and continues the spell until he is complete
[Wed Oct 21 20:59:26 2015] : Hildy: Knowledge Religion: [1d20(6) + 10] = 16
[Wed Oct 21 20:59:51 2015] : Hildy: (whispering): Do I suspect vampires?
[Wed Oct 21 21:00:02 2015] : Hildy: (whispering): Does he have puncture wounds?
[Wed Oct 21 21:00:47 2015] : whispering to Hildy, Vampire, is a possibility. You will need a more careful examination
[Wed Oct 21 21:01:16 2015] : Hildy: Once done, Hildy examines the corpse thoroughly after having ruminated while praying
[Wed Oct 21 21:01:38 2015] : Akiak: ooc brb
[Wed Oct 21 21:01:56 2015] : Hildy: "This man seems to be blood drained, which could have dire import"
[Wed Oct 21 21:02:10 2015] : Hildy: Perception (Take 20): [20 + 6] = 26
[Wed Oct 21 21:02:28 2015] : Koro: "Yes. A motive, perhaps, for a killer: food, not malice; but still something we might need to correct."
[Wed Oct 21 21:02:39 2015] : whispering to Hildy, You find two small puncture wounds on the man's neck.
[Wed Oct 21 21:02:44 2015] : Hildy: "Aha!"
[Wed Oct 21 21:02:53 2015] : Hildy: "Puncture wounds right here"
[Wed Oct 21 21:03:21 2015] : Hildy: "If it's as I suspect Koro, I could not in all good faith leave this city until I have helped destroy this creature"
[Wed Oct 21 21:03:31 2015] : Koro: "Tell me what you expect."
[Wed Oct 21 21:03:37 2015] : Vaddyn: "Yes, tell us"
[Wed Oct 21 21:03:46 2015] : Hildy: "I suspect a creature of the night... A vampire"
[Wed Oct 21 21:03:49 2015] : Koro: "And what we need to do to destroy it."
[Wed Oct 21 21:04:03 2015] : Koro: "It seems that the demon might still be our first concern."
[Wed Oct 21 21:04:04 2015] : Hildy: "Ah, that is another question indeed"
[Wed Oct 21 21:04:08 2015] : Vaddyn: "This is not good"
[Wed Oct 21 21:04:20 2015] : Hildy: "But first, let's see what this fellow can tell us"
[Wed Oct 21 21:04:34 2015] : Hildy: Hildy speaks to the corpse
[Wed Oct 21 21:05:05 2015] : Hildy: ooc do we know the corpse's name?
[Wed Oct 21 21:05:12 2015] : Simeon's Corpse: ooc Simeon
[Wed Oct 21 21:05:55 2015] : Akiak: ooc back
[Wed Oct 21 21:05:55 2015] : Akiak: ooc are you here
[Wed Oct 21 21:05:56 2015] : Akiak: ooc ?
[Wed Oct 21 21:06:04 2015] : Hildy: "Simeon... I call forth your spirit to aid us in our quest to seek vengeance for your death, and to protect the lives of your friends and family"
[Wed Oct 21 21:06:10 2015] : Hildy: ooc hi
[Wed Oct 21 21:06:47 2015] : Koro: ooc /me read that "ooc hi" as addressed to the corpse.
[Wed Oct 21 21:06:52 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc same
[Wed Oct 21 21:07:04 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc more Out Of Body
[Wed Oct 21 21:07:04 2015] : Hildy: "My first question is... Did you know your killer?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:07:10 2015] : Koro: ooc "so, ummm... hi. I wondered if you'd wanna, like, grab a coffee some time?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:07:50 2015] : Hildy: Hildy waits to see if there is a response
[Wed Oct 21 21:08:05 2015] : Simeon's Corpse: "Tales of the riverfolk speak of her."
[Wed Oct 21 21:08:35 2015] : Hildy: ooc now that is blimming cryptic ;-)
[Wed Oct 21 21:09:08 2015] : Koro: "Then... we would need to know who the riverfolk are, and what the tales are. But we know that the killer is femaile."
[Wed Oct 21 21:09:36 2015] : Hildy: HIldy turns to the others
[Wed Oct 21 21:09:40 2015] : Hildy: "we probably need to revise our questions if we think it's a vampire"
[Wed Oct 21 21:10:00 2015] : Vaddyn: "Where was he killed"
[Wed Oct 21 21:10:10 2015] : Hildy: "We have about 6 minutes to ask 3 more questions"
[Wed Oct 21 21:10:36 2015] : Hildy: "Think about how simple the first question was, and how cryptic the response was"
[Wed Oct 21 21:11:11 2015] : Koro: "Should we ask how we can bring his killer to justice?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:11:14 2015] : Hildy: ooc my first is in dock, but not in cloud
[Wed Oct 21 21:12:18 2015] : Hildy: "How about something like: please give us the best clue you can to help us to find your killer"
[Wed Oct 21 21:12:30 2015] : Hildy: ooc :-P
[Wed Oct 21 21:12:35 2015] : Vaddyn: "Thats hopeful"
[Wed Oct 21 21:12:52 2015] : Hildy: "But do the dead know what the best clues are for the living"
[Wed Oct 21 21:12:53 2015] : Vaddyn: "How can we avenge you?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:13:02 2015] : Hildy: "kill the vampire"
[Wed Oct 21 21:13:21 2015] : Hildy: "No extra clue there"
[Wed Oct 21 21:13:24 2015] : Koro: "What question should we ask you to make our lives easier?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:13:30 2015] : Simeon's Corpse: ooc I think it has to be a question.
[Wed Oct 21 21:13:31 2015] : Hildy: ooc LOL
[Wed Oct 21 21:13:56 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc What is your favourite colour
[Wed Oct 21 21:14:17 2015] : Hildy: "Simeon: where were you attacked?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:15:00 2015] : Akiak: "This sounds like an option"
[Wed Oct 21 21:15:00 2015] : Akiak: ooc It seems my connection cuts me sometimes and then suddenly I get tons of lines. o.O
[Wed Oct 21 21:16:14 2015] : Akiak: ooc anybody here?
[Wed Oct 21 21:16:18 2015] : Hildy: ooc yes
[Wed Oct 21 21:16:27 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc yes
[Wed Oct 21 21:16:33 2015] : Koro: ooc yes yes
[Wed Oct 21 21:16:35 2015] : Simeon's Corpse: "Where bird as black as night flies, in waters green and mud brown, where clams sleep, where fishes dream."
[Wed Oct 21 21:16:39 2015] : Akiak: ooc I just get 20 lines in a row :((((
[Wed Oct 21 21:17:04 2015] : Koro: "The black bird could be the Gull."
[Wed Oct 21 21:17:06 2015] : Vaddyn: "I dont think we're going to get anything useful from this"
[Wed Oct 21 21:17:19 2015] : Hildy: ooc anyone else having similar issues? I'm accessing the server over the LAN, so no lag for me
[Wed Oct 21 21:17:28 2015] : Simeon's Corpse: ooc all fine for me.
[Wed Oct 21 21:17:30 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc seems fine for me
[Wed Oct 21 21:17:35 2015] : Akiak: "how about something like "please point at your killer"
[Wed Oct 21 21:17:51 2015] : Akiak: ooc has to be my internet connection. It sucks lately.
[Wed Oct 21 21:18:07 2015] : Hildy: "The spirit has no arms Akiak"
[Wed Oct 21 21:18:11 2015] : Koro: ooc I'm fine
[Wed Oct 21 21:18:14 2015] : Akiak: "or where do we find your likker"
[Wed Oct 21 21:18:21 2015] : Akiak: tooc killer!
[Wed Oct 21 21:18:28 2015] : Koro: "Yes, that would be closer."
[Wed Oct 21 21:18:55 2015] : Hildy: "I'm struggling here"
[Wed Oct 21 21:19:16 2015] : Koro: "I think, perhaps, Simeon is happier now."
[Wed Oct 21 21:19:27 2015] : Koro: "Should we ask him what he wants us to do?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:19:27 2015] : Hildy: "It's difficult to get anything helpful."
[Wed Oct 21 21:19:55 2015] : Hildy: "Simeon: What do you want us to do for you?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:20:12 2015] : Hildy: ooc one more question :-/
[Wed Oct 21 21:21:21 2015] : Vaddyn: "I can think of nothing to ask"
[Wed Oct 21 21:21:41 2015] : Akiak: "Where do we find your killer maybe then?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:22:34 2015] : Simeon's Corpse: "Search through weed and rocks and waters deep, find the lair of wicked maiden, armed with stake of oak."
[Wed Oct 21 21:23:13 2015] : Hildy: "How about, were you killed for a reason, or were you a random victim?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:23:13 2015] : Vaddyn: "Under the surface?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:23:28 2015] : Hildy: "Yes, that would help Vaddyn"
[Wed Oct 21 21:23:35 2015] : Koro: ooc did he answer the "What do you want us to do" question?
[Wed Oct 21 21:23:48 2015] : Hildy: ooc yes, last answer
[Wed Oct 21 21:24:05 2015] : Simeon's Corpse: ooc only answering questions directed at him explicitly.
[Wed Oct 21 21:24:21 2015] : Koro: ooc Hildy did
[Wed Oct 21 21:24:43 2015] : Simeon's Corpse: ooc and i answered it
[Wed Oct 21 21:25:27 2015] : Koro: ooc OK, sorry
[Wed Oct 21 21:25:31 2015] : Hildy: "Simeon, is the wicked maiden above or under the water?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:25:50 2015] : Hildy: ooc for better or for worse!
[Wed Oct 21 21:26:11 2015] : Simeon's Corpse: "She swims with tail of silver through waters deep and dark."
[Wed Oct 21 21:26:33 2015] : Vaddyn: "Sounds like Under to me"
[Wed Oct 21 21:26:37 2015] : Hildy: ooc vampire mermaid!
[Wed Oct 21 21:26:58 2015] : Simeon's Corpse: ooc could be ;)
[Wed Oct 21 21:27:11 2015] : Hildy: "Rest now Simeon, we will avenge your death"
[Wed Oct 21 21:27:12 2015] : Akiak: ooc ewwww
[Wed Oct 21 21:27:31 2015] : Hildy: Hildy cups the candles and gently blows them out one by one
[Wed Oct 21 21:27:45 2015] : Hildy: Hildy looks up at the lead docker
[Wed Oct 21 21:28:08 2015] : Hildy: "Do you know anything of blood sucking water creatures?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:28:10 2015] : Koro: "So, a vampire mermaid. In deep water, green and brown."
[Wed Oct 21 21:28:46 2015] : Julio: "Aye. There are tales of such a creature leaving in the estuary here."
[Wed Oct 21 21:29:16 2015] : Vaddyn: "Sounds like they aren't just tales"
[Wed Oct 21 21:29:27 2015] : Akiak: "Indeed"
[Wed Oct 21 21:29:30 2015] : Hildy: "Does anyone have any idea of a particular area?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:29:42 2015] : Hildy: "Do any of the clues sound familiar?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:30:00 2015] : Hildy: "Where the clams sleep, and fishes dream"
[Wed Oct 21 21:30:31 2015] : Julio: "Er..."
[Wed Oct 21 21:30:40 2015] : Hildy: "Bird as black as night flies, waters green and mud brown"
[Wed Oct 21 21:30:46 2015] : Koro: "It sounds cold and damp. I do not approve."
[Wed Oct 21 21:30:50 2015] : Akiak: Knowledge Local: [1d20(1) + 4] = 5
[Wed Oct 21 21:31:05 2015] : Akiak: "As familiar as I am with the city, the sea escapes me"
[Wed Oct 21 21:31:23 2015] : Julio: "Clams live in the estuary mud and um. fish sleep in hidden places, out of sight I suppose."
[Wed Oct 21 21:31:38 2015] : Koro: Knowledge Local: [1d20(18) + 7] = 25
[Wed Oct 21 21:31:43 2015] : Hildy: "There's no-where where clams are prevalent?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:31:51 2015] : Koro: ooc I thought Akiak was from an entirely different city...
[Wed Oct 21 21:32:05 2015] : Julio: "I'm not a clam raker."
[Wed Oct 21 21:32:15 2015] : Hildy: ooc I never understood Knowledge: Local for that very reason
[Wed Oct 21 21:32:23 2015] : Vaddyn: "Is there anyone who is?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:32:38 2015] : Koro: ooc it should be Knowledge: Dorduk or Knowledge: Waterdeep or whatever
[Wed Oct 21 21:32:51 2015] : Koro: ooc or Knowledge: this city that Koro's totally from, honest.
[Wed Oct 21 21:32:54 2015] : whispering to Koro, There's a set of small rocky islets in the estuary, commonly held to contain caves used by smugglers.
[Wed Oct 21 21:33:55 2015] : Hildy: "If you wish to help us find Simeon's killer, then it would be helpful to pass on what we learned and see if it makes sense to anyone"
[Wed Oct 21 21:33:58 2015] : Koro: "The smugglers' caves, perhaps."
[Wed Oct 21 21:34:08 2015] : Koro: "This would be somewhere to begin."
[Wed Oct 21 21:34:20 2015] : Hildy: "At least to help narrow down our search area"
[Wed Oct 21 21:34:36 2015] : Koro: "Julio, if you can give us an introduction to someone who... may be knowledgeable in such matters, this would help."
[Wed Oct 21 21:36:32 2015] : Julio: "The Night Birds are smugglers, but we don't do work for them."
[Wed Oct 21 21:36:51 2015] : Vaddyn: "Where can we find them?"
[Wed Oct 21 21:37:03 2015] : Koro: "Presumably they have their own vessels, then. And that would work with the bird, as black as night."
[Wed Oct 21 21:37:07 2015] : Akiak: ooc this was a "general" city and sea thing.
[Wed Oct 21 21:37:43 2015] : Koro: ooc I see :)
[Wed Oct 21 21:38:17 2015] : Julio: ooc you've already met their leader: Raven.
[Wed Oct 21 21:38:26 2015] : Koro: ooc yep.
[Wed Oct 21 21:38:35 2015] : Vaddyn: ooc ah
[Wed Oct 21 21:38:35 2015] : Koro: "Thank you, Julio. I think we will... investigate."
[Wed Oct 21 21:38:41 2015] : Akiak: ooc you can also argue that some things travel, and that you're always on the lookout for information about distant places, or have sat in an inn and just listened to locals talk or somesuch
[Wed Oct 21 21:38:42 2015] : Hildy: "OK, w ehave a place to start"
[Wed Oct 21 21:38:56 2015] : Akiak: "We do indeed"
[Wed Oct 21 21:39:27 2015] : Vaddyn: "In the meantime, perhaps you could go back to work. There is nothing the guards can do"
[Wed Oct 21 21:39:41 2015] : Vaddyn: "But maybe be careful around the waters edge at night"
[Wed Oct 21 21:41:02 2015] : Julio: "We will be extra vigillent."
[Wed Oct 21 21:41:36 2015] : Koro: ooc brb
[Wed Oct 21 21:42:06 2015] : Vaddyn: "Lets go see our... contact"
[Wed Oct 21 21:42:06 2015] : Julio: GAME END
[Wed Oct 21 21:42:39 2015] : Koro: Good game - thanks!
[Wed Oct 21 21:42:51 2015] : Julio: thanks
[Wed Oct 21 21:42:55 2015] : Hildy: Cheers David
[Wed Oct 21 21:42:57 2015] : Akiak: Sorry about being silent. I was on the phone some and then the lag was weird.
[Wed Oct 21 21:43:13 2015] : Koro: I should be here next week too :)
[Wed Oct 21 21:43:17 2015] : Hildy: Those cryptic clues must have fried your brain :-)
[Wed Oct 21 21:43:19 2015] : Akiak: I hated you very much for that first cryptic answer lol
[Wed Oct 21 21:43:24 2015] : Vaddyn: Where did you get a vampire mermaid from? slightly stunned :)
[Wed Oct 21 21:44:06 2015] : Koro: Random template, random monster :-D
[Wed Oct 21 21:44:24 2015] : DM: Vampire + humanoid(ish) creature that lives in/near water. Seems obvious to me...
[Wed Oct 21 21:44:25 2015] : Vaddyn: hehe
[Wed Oct 21 21:44:31 2015] : Akiak: lol
[Wed Oct 21 21:44:36 2015] : Vaddyn: fair enough

[Wed Oct 21 21:45:15 2015] : Vaddyn: too?
[Wed Oct 21 21:45:34 2015] : DM: Not a siren.
[Wed Oct 21 21:45:49 2015] : Akiak: heh. :D
[Wed Oct 21 21:45:56 2015] : Akiak: Good night and thank you!

[Wed Oct 21 21:46:57 2015] : Vaddyn: dammit!
[Wed Oct 21 21:47:00 2015] : Koro: Now we're doomed.

[Wed Oct 21 21:47:07 2015] : Koro: Mermaid bard vampire...
[Wed Oct 21 21:47:54 2015] : Vaddyn: any other templates we can throw on there?
[Wed Oct 21 21:48:30 2015] : Koro: Advanced Fiendish Giant Mermaid Ghost Vampire/
[Wed Oct 21 21:49:05 2015] : DM: Going a bit far that
[Wed Oct 21 21:49:09 2015] : Vaddyn: lol
[Wed Oct 21 21:49:35 2015] : Koro: Yeah, the CR might be too high...
[Wed Oct 21 21:49:46 2015] : Koro: Anyway, I'm off to bed - nn and thanks!
[Wed Oct 21 21:49:50 2015] : Koro (exit): 21:49
