    Not when I connected at 20:05. Don't want to risk disconnecting to see if there are problems now :D!

    Tonight's Logs

    [21:25] <Ashford> Ashford would be... somewhere on a random street after finish 'gathering' his spell component pouch.
    06[21:26] * @Leck wanders back towards the tavern chattering inanely about very little
    06[21:27] * Wilhorn follows Leck, trying to keep up with his random changes of topic
    06[21:27] * +Dimli is still asleep
    [21:27] <@Octara> lol, fair enough
    [21:27] <@Octara> Dimli, the Flophouse Manager rouses you "Time's up lad, two more copper if you're going to keep lyin' here"
    06[21:28] * Ashford continues to walk without much of an aim. His mind is drifting as he is wandering how he is going to survive in the big big city. Not really big, mind you. But still.
    06[21:28] * +Dimli rolls over, still half asleep "Away, before I break your legs.." *SNORE*
    [21:29] <@Octara> Dimli, you feel yourself being picked up by two large beings :¬P
    [21:30] <+Dimli> Fair enough XD
    [21:30] <@Octara> You're delicately thrown onto the cobbles, along with your posessions
    [21:31] <@Octara> It's hard to sleep from the glaring light others refer to as "the sun"
    06[21:31] * +Dimli sits up, shakes his head, and drags himself to his feet
    [21:31] <@Leck> (( Sorry guys, Martin won't shut up ))
    06[21:32] * Ashford is walking, still minding his own business until he sees a large bulk is thrown in front of him. He blinks.
    [21:32] <Ashford> Oh my... You look familiar.
    [21:32] <@Octara> (( Tell him you're involved in a rather engaging fantasy, where you are roleplaying with three other men and a woman is ordering you all about ;¬) ))
    06[21:33] * +Dimli looks at Ashford, blinking
    [21:33] <@Leck> (( FINALLY!!! ))
    06[21:33] * Wilhorn keeps walking behind Leck whilst keeping his eyes and ears open
    [21:33] <+Dimli> "..Aye, I know you"
    06[21:33] * @Leck stops in his tracks as he realises that he's talking to no-one
    [21:33] <@Octara> ((Wilhorn is with you, Leck))
    [21:34] <@Leck> Except Wilhorn :¬P
    [21:34] <@Leck> "So anyway, I managed to bargain him down to less than 30 gold for the whole lot, which seemed like a really good bargain. I think."
    01[21:34] <Wilhorn> ((It's OK. I'm obviously very good at hiding :p!))
    [21:35] <@Leck> "Not that I really ever spent money on anything... that's a good buy, right?"
    [21:35] <Ashford> "Indeed?" He blinks again, and then he realized who it is. He thinks. "Tavern from two days ago?"
    06[21:35] * Wilhorn blinks and tries to catch up with the thread of Leck's conversation
    01[21:35] <Wilhorn> "Yes....It could be......"
    [21:35] <+Dimli> "Aye, that's right.."
    06[21:35] * +Dimli suddenly looks around
    [21:35] <+Dimli> "Where's that little one gone!?"
    [21:36] <@Leck> "So anyway, after I bought everything, I saddled up Burt and packed everything away until I wasn't so dirty, then made my way here. Well I didn't realise I was coming here, that was just sort of luck really."
    06[21:36] * @Leck fidgets as he walks, still unused to carrying so many pouches and packages
    [21:36] <Ashford> "Little one? You're the only that, ah..." He tries to find a more subtle word. "that came out."
    01[21:36] <Wilhorn> "Or perhaps fate. If it was your fate to come to this city that is."
    06[21:37] * @Leck grins widely
    [21:37] <@Leck> "Maybe!"
    [21:37] <@Octara> A lot more people are out of their homes now, it's still morning and people are readying for the day ahead
    [21:38] <@Leck> "But either way, I'm sort of glad I'm out of that stuffy tower. It was so BORING in there all the time! I might be stuck in a strange place with people I just met, but I can't help but feel that this is what I'm meant to be doing rather than..." He continues to babble
    [21:38] <@Leck> "Hey wait, where's the dwarf gone? He was right behind us...?"
    06[21:38] * Wilhorn looks around in surprise
    01[21:39] <Wilhorn> "I have no idea. We would have heard if he'd been attacked..."
    06[21:39] * Wilhorn frowns slightly
    [21:40] <@Leck> "Should we go back for him?"
    01[21:40] <Wilhorn> "I guess we have to. There may have been some trouble."
    06[21:40] * @Leck stops and looks behind for the dwarf
    [21:41] <@Leck> "Trouble...? You think?"
    [21:41] <@Octara> Make spot checks, Leck and Wilhorn
    [21:41] <@Leck> !roll d20-1
    [21:41] <@Mystra> Leck, d20-1: 9 (Total: 9, Avg: 9.00)
    06[21:42] * @Leck sees the floor, having not noticed it before
    01[21:42] <Wilhorn> !roll d20+7
    [21:42] <@Mystra> Wilhorn, d20+7: 14 (Total: 14, Avg: 14.00)
    [21:42] <@Octara> Wilhorn, you see Dimli and Ashford up ahead
    06[21:42] * Wilhorn sighs heavily
    06[21:43] * +Dimli is looking around, concerned
    06[21:43] * @Leck shades his eyes from the morning light, squinting and trying to see past the end of his own nose
    01[21:43] <Wilhorn> "There he is. Who is tha...? It's that mage!"
    06[21:43] * @Leck looks cheerful at the mention of a mage
    [21:44] <@Leck> "Let's go meet them!"
    06[21:44] * Wilhorn heads towards Dimli and Ashford
    06[21:44] * @Leck hops along cheerily in the direction Wilhorn is heading
    06[21:45] * +Dimli notices Leck and Wilhorn, and waves excitedly
    06[21:45] * @Leck waves back with a big grin
    [21:45] <@Leck> "Ho there, we thought we'd lost you."
    01[21:45] <Wilhorn> "What happened? Did you fall asleep or something?"
    [21:46] <@Octara> All make spot checks
    06[21:46] * Ashford turns and noticed someone talking to them, and one is waving. He remembered who they are. "Leck, it's nice to see you again,"
    [21:46] <@Leck> !roll d20-1
    [21:46] <@Mystra> Leck, d20-1: 13 (Total: 13, Avg: 13.00)

    [21:46] <@Leck> "Certainly is, how have you been?"
    [21:46] <@Mystra> Wilhorn, d20+7: 9 (Total: 9, Avg: 9.00)
    [21:47] <+Dimli> !roll 1d20
    [21:47] <@Mystra> Dimli, 1d20: 8 (Total: 8, Avg: 8.00)
    [21:47] <Ashford> He smiles to both of them. "And you as well."
    01[21:47] <Wilhorn> "Good to see you too friend."
    [21:47] <@Octara> Leck and Ashford - you see the Barmaid that had sat with you before, she seems a little flustered and keeps stumbling into people
    06[21:48] * @Leck smiles and waves at the woman
    06[21:49] * Ashford notices someone is bumping into people again and again. He remembers she is the barmaid from a few days ago. "Hm?"
    06[21:50] * Wilhorn turns to try and see who the others are referring to
    [21:51] <@Octara> She's wearing plain clothing and a woollen hood, she looks oddly anxious and heading away from the tavern
    [21:51] <@Leck> "I wonder what's upset her..." Leck muses with a frown
    [21:51] <@Octara> She's about to walk past you...
    [21:52] <@Leck> "Hello there!" Leck says loudly
    06[21:52] * Ashford closes one eye as he looked at her for a few moments before turning his attention towards Leck. He is particularly confused at what to do for the moment, before Leck erupted.
    [21:52] <@Octara> She jumps and looks startled, looking around neigh-franticly before she sees you
    [21:52] <@Leck> "Oh, I'm sorry! I dodn't mean to startle you!"
    06[21:52] * @Leck looks mildly horrified
    [21:52] <@Leck> didn't*
    [21:53] <@Octara> "You! You might want to be careful for a while around here!"
    [21:53] <@Octara> She draws closer to you all
    [21:53] <@Leck> "Wait, huh?"
    06[21:53] * @Leck looks over his shoulder fearfully
    06[21:53] * Wilhorn stiffens and looks around
    01[21:53] <Wilhorn> "What do you mean?"
    [21:54] <@Octara> She sighs
    [21:54] <@Octara> "More men from the borderlands have arrived. Happens every so often where they round people up and take them away."
    06[21:54] * Ashford continues to shut his left eye, looking at the woman as he took a step next to Leck.
    06[21:55] * @Leck has taken on a decidedly nervous posture, clutching at a heavy pouch around his waist
    [21:55] <@Leck> "Take... them away? Where?"
    [21:55] <@Octara> "Various places from what I can tell, sometimes the people wander back, usually with a fuller purse, but many more don't seem to return."
    06[21:56] * @Leck shrinks away slightly, going several shades paler
    [21:56] <Ashford> "Men from the borderlands...? Conscription...?" He thought about the recent events that he had heard with Leck a few days ago.
    06[21:56] * Ashford sighs. "Unlikely."
    [21:56] <@Octara> "They tend to go to Charity and Downward offering coin for service. My guess is it's for skirmishes on the border towns, but some of the bands journey North instead!"
    [21:57] <@Leck> "Who do you think they are?" He speaks barely above a whisper
    [21:58] <@Octara> "They seem military"
    [21:58] <@Leck> "So... they're the good guys, right?"
    [21:58] <@Octara> "But they have mages with them."
    01[21:59] <Wilhorn> "Leck, being military doesn't make them good. Just means they can get away with more."
    06[21:59] * @Leck perks up slightly at the mention of mages
    [21:59] <@Leck> "But they have scholars with them."
    [21:59] <Ashford> "M-mages?" Ashford freezes slightly.
    [22:00] <@Octara> "This land has always had a... grudging respect for the arcane arts, but a superstitious fear as well. When the empire attacked us they used a LOT of mystical force, which has driven the superstition to outright terror and fear"
    06[22:00] * @Leck wonders why Dimli is so quiet
    [22:00] <@Octara> "To see the military with arcane support will surely upset the population"
    [22:00] <@Leck> "So they don't like mages anymore around here?"
    [22:00] <+Dimli> ((Phone))
    06[22:00] * Ashford remained silence.
    [22:01] <Ashford> ((*silent))
    [22:01] <@Leck> "Maybe we should stay away then, I don't want to go to war..."
    [22:01] <@Leck> "I only just got freedom, I don't want it taken away again!"
    [22:01] <@Octara> "We're lucky we're in a city, many small settlements outright attack arcane casters"
    [22:02] <@Leck> "We? You're a mage too?"
    [22:03] <@Octara> "There's a reason I'm stuck working in a tavern."
    [22:03] <@Leck> "What reason?" He continues to probe curiously
    [22:03] <@Octara> she glares at you
    06[22:04] * Ashford tugs his awkwardness away slightly. Although he isn't a full arcane spellcaster, people don't seem to care whether you're an arcane spellcaster or not.
    06[22:04] * @Leck looks shocked at the sudden hostility
    [22:04] <@Leck> "I - I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
    06[22:04] * Wilhorn keeps looking around
    [22:04] <Ashford> "Leck, we're... hunted, sometimes." Ashford whispered under his breath, as silently as possible.
    [22:04] <@Octara> "There'll be anouncements in the market square shortly. I'd avise you to attend in an effort to make a decision yourselves."
    [22:05] <@Octara> She speaks coldly and starts to walk away again
    06[22:05] * @Leck mumbles a quiet goodbye to the suddenly less friendly woman
    [22:06] <@Leck> "Where's the market square?" He mumbles quietly
    01[22:06] <Wilhorn> "Well looks like we have two options. We either attend these announcements, or we make ourselves scarce."
    06[22:06] * Ashford remain silent.
    [22:06] <@Octara> The Market Ward is the direction she walked, beyond a smaller set of gates
    [22:07] <@Leck> "I don't know..." He looks at the floor, shuffling the dust with the tip of a foot
    [22:08] <@Leck> "I'll do whatever you guys do..."
    06[22:09] * Ashford looked at all three. "I will... go and take a look. What will you guys do?"
    06[22:09] * @Leck shrugs
    [22:09] <@Leck> "I'm staying with you."
    06[22:09] * Wilhorn thinks for a long time
    [22:10] <Ashford> 'me smiles. "Thanks."
    06[22:10] * Ashford smiles. "Thanks."
    01[22:10] <Wilhorn> "I guess I'll hear these announcements. I just worry that they might try 'recruiting' whilst we're there
    [22:11] <@Leck> "We can run away!"
    [22:11] <@Leck> "Or stay hidden while we listen..."
    06[22:11] * Ashford shook his head whilst smiling bitterly. "We need to hear what they have to say anyway. We don't have enough information at this stage to even guess what their purpose is."
    06[22:12] * Wilhorn smiles bitterly. "Not if we're surrounded we can't. And how do you expect the dwarf to stay hidden?"
    [22:12] <@Leck> "Well he's doing pretty well at not being noticed right now..."
    [22:13] <@Octara> ((Dimli will follow you inobtrusively until CJ returns))
    [22:13] <@Leck> "So where's the market? Anyone know?"
    06[22:14] * Wilhorn turns and begins to head to the market. "Follow me."
    [22:14] <@Octara> Wilhorn and Ashford know
    06[22:14] * Ashford nods and follow Wilhorn.
    06[22:14] * @Leck hops along behind Wilhorn anxiously
    06[22:16] * Wilhorn moves to the side of the street as he reaches the bustle of the market
    06[22:18] * @Leck follows along behind and takes a place near enough to hear, but far enough to run from... whatever
    06[22:18] * Ashford keeps up with Wilhorn, and is between Leck and him.
    [22:18] <@Octara> You hear a ringing from a small wooden platform in front of a large fountain, it's a town crier
    [22:19] <@Octara> There's a substantial crowd before the platform listening
    06[22:19] * @Leck takes position and stays silent in anticipation of the... whatever
    06[22:20] * Wilhorn merges into the crowd but stays near to Leck and Ashford
    06[22:20] * Ashford stops and tries to hear what is to be said.
    [22:21] <@Octara> "Citizens of Derrin! The Military are once again asking for the co-operation and recruitment of willing citizens, the pay is five silver per day - lack of ability will incur no financial penalty, all training and support will be provided! Those with duties within this city are encouraged to support the effort to replenish this nations' armies and assist in the rescue and release of many fine citizens of Stamur from the clu
    [22:21] <@Octara> the crowd hisses at the mention of the empire
    06[22:22] * @Leck looks shocked at the obvious dislike, but remains silent
    [22:22] <+Dimli> ((Nothing Dimli does is inobtrusive!))
    [22:24] <@Octara> "The Captain will be by the city gates within Greeting (That's the city entrance precinct for newcomers) for any hopefuls. Furthermore there is a call from the Merchants to assist in the taming attempts of the woods so that further excavation of resources is possible. In other news there are rumours that the Princess Ellista of this fair city is to marry! Whom the lucky suitor is is so far unanounced."
    [22:26] <@Leck> "Ooh..."
    [22:26] <+Dimli> "They're recruiting for war?"
    06[22:27] * @Leck looks at his group
    06[22:27] * Ashford tries to look away from Leck.
    [22:28] <@Leck> "I don't think I'd like to be a soldier..."
    [22:28] <@Octara> The crier turns to a noticeboard behind him and tacks up about five notices
    [22:28] <+Dimli> "I don't think so either, lad."
    [22:28] <@Octara> He then leaves the platform and the crowd starts to disperse
    01[22:28] <Wilhorn> "Sounds like a good way to get yourself killed to me."
    06[22:28] * +Dimli wanders up to the noticebard and squints at it
    [22:28] <@Octara> Looks like gibberish, Dimli!
    [22:29] <+Dimli> "It's a treasure map!"
    [22:29] <@Octara> XD
    06[22:29] * Wilhorn cautiously follows Dimli and looks at the notices.
    06[22:29] * Ashford tries to read the notices.
    [22:29] <@Octara> Are you looking at the new notices or some of the older ones?
    01[22:30] <Wilhorn> ((The new ones))
    [22:30] <+Dimli> Any with pictures
    [22:30] <Ashford> "Let's see what's new..."
    06[22:30] * @Leck hops up to the noticeboard and jumps up repeatedly trying to get high enough to read any of the notices
    06[22:30] * +Dimli picks Leck up and holds him at the right height
    [22:30] <@Leck> "Thank you." He smiles
    [22:31] <@Octara> ((What languages do you all know?))
    [22:31] <+Dimli> ((Gibberish :>))
    [22:32] <@Leck> (( Halfling, Goblin, Elven, Common and Orc ))
    01[22:32] <Wilhorn> ((Common, Thieves Cant and Halfling))
    [22:32] <Ashford> ((Common, Draconic, Celestial))
    [22:32] <+Dimli> ((Thieves Cant?))
    [22:32] <+Dimli> ((Is that like rhyming slang? XD))
    [22:32] <@Leck> (( LOL! ))
    [22:32] <@Octara> ((Thieves cant use apostrophes)
    [22:33] <@Leck> (( XD ))
    [22:33] <@Leck> (( brb, making a swifty cuppa ))
    [22:33] <Ashford> ((XXX3))
    [22:33] <+Dimli> ((Heheheheh))
    01[22:33] <Wilhorn> ((It looks wrong with apostrophe to me for some reason :D))
    [22:34] <@Octara> There is a poster about the War Effort, already announced, a post from the Merchants guild asking for assistance in clearing out a nearby woods (as announced), a wanted poster for the "Derrin Shredd", a post for assistants on an archeological dig (Climbers and Dwarves welcome) and a post you can't read
    [22:34] <+Dimli> Who or what is the Derrin Shredd?
    [22:34] <@Octara> *Shredder
    [22:35] <+Dimli> Oh, some murderer?

    [22:37] <@Leck> "Why would someone need help to get out of a city?" He asks innocently
    01[22:37] <Wilhorn> ((Threaten them with a sharp object))
    [22:37] <+Dimli> ((Can I assume you lot read the notices out for me?))
    [22:37] <@Leck> (( Leck doesn't realise he can't read ))
    01[22:38] <Wilhorn> "Perhaps because someone doesn't want them to leave"
    06[22:38] * +Dimli points at a random poster
    [22:38] <@Leck> "that sounds a bit odd... But that's what this person wants." *points to the sign that everyone else can't read*
    06[22:38] * Ashford looks at the post that he can't read, and is troubled.
    01[22:39] <Wilhorn> "What does it say? Just looks like gibberish to me."
    [22:40] <@Leck> "It's in elven. It says "Meet me in the Faith Quarter, I will be outside the shrine to Ehlonna waiting for assistance" and that he or she wants help to get out of the city."
    06[22:40] * Ashford looks at the post, shook his head, and reminded himself to read up more...
    [22:40] <+Dimli> "No fun!"
    [22:41] <@Leck> "I must say though, the archaeological dig sounds absolutely fascinating!"
    [22:41] <+Dimli> "Bah!"

    [22:41] <@Leck> "Ow!"
    06[22:42] * Wilhorn shakes his head and grins
    06[22:42] * Ashford isn't particularly interested in any one posts. "I am not so sure about any of this..."
    [22:42] <@Leck> "Don't we all need something to do?"
    [22:42] <@Octara> There are other posts
    [22:42] <+Dimli> "This Wanted poster.. What are the details?"
    [22:43] <Ashford> "Aye..."
    06[22:43] * +Dimli points at which poster he assumes it to be
    06[22:43] * @Leck would read it out, but he is on the floor rubbing his rump right now
    06[22:43] * Wilhorn looks more closely at the wanted poster.
    [22:43] <@Octara> "The Derrin Shredder *picture of a shortish man with rough features and dark hair* wanted for fourteen counts of murder, seventeen counts of assault and breaking and entering"
    01[22:43] <Wilhorn> "Pleasant chap."
    [22:44] <@Leck> "Sounds scary..." he whispers
    [22:44] <+Dimli> "Hmph, sounds like the sort that ought to be taken care of.."
    [22:44] <Ashford> "Define pleasant."
    [22:44] <@Leck> "You mean you want to actually go *looking* for a mass murderer!?" He goes pale
    [22:45] <+Dimli> "You don't want to stop him?"
    06[22:45] * +Dimli looks suprised
    06[22:45] * @Leck sets his jaw determinedly
    [22:45] <@Leck> "Well I suppose actually... yes."
    01[22:45] <Wilhorn> "If the poster is correct then the sort that would be more pleasant with a blade through his ribs"
    [22:45] <+Dimli> "'sides, i'd rather go looking for him than he looks for me"
    [22:46] <@Octara> Leck, Ashford, Wilhorn make spot checks

    06[22:48] * Ashford notices something...
    [22:49] <+Dimli> ((lol, glad someone did XD))
    06[22:49] * Wilhorn looks closely at something that catches his eye on the board. "This sounds troubling. Some kind of arcane cult that seems to be causing trouble"
    [22:49] <+Dimli> "Arwha?"
    06[22:49] * @Leck suddenly jumps into action, climbing onto Dimli's shoulders uninvited to see the message
    [22:49] <@Leck> "Arcane cult? Trouble?"
    [22:49] <@Octara> (XD)
    [22:50] <+Dimli> "Our cane? Eh?"
    [22:50] <@Octara> You notice a posting dated two days ago about the emergance of a cult centred around the arcane that has threatened to emerge every three nights and cause havoc. Their antics three nights ago caused the death of five citizens and the injury of many more, including blinding a seamstress
    [22:50] <Ashford> "Seems to be more trouble than it first seems. But an Arcane cult?"
    01[22:50] <Wilhorn> ((Saves me typing it!))
    [22:50] <@Octara> (:¬))
    [22:50] <@Leck> "People misusing magic to hurt people? What do they hope to get out of it?"
    [22:50] <@Octara> (God I can't wait for dinner to be ready x_x)
    [22:51] <+Dimli> "Magic!?"
    06[22:51] * +Dimli growls
    01[22:51] <Wilhorn> "Power. Money. Pleasure."
    [22:51] <+Dimli> "Typical, where there's magic there's trouble"
    [22:51] <@Octara> "Thrills"

    [22:51] <@Leck> "Well I don't like it." He stamps a tiny fist into the palm of the opposing hand indignantly.
    [22:51] <@Octara> "To overhaul the current situation"
    [22:51] <@Octara> ((Yup :¬())
    [22:52] <@Octara> "To reclaim the throne"
    [22:52] <@Octara> "Many reasons really"
    06[22:52] * @Leck jumps and turns around, clambering down from Dimli's shoulders
    06[22:52] * Ashford looks sad.
    [22:52] <@Leck> "Who said that?"
    [22:52] <@Octara> it's the barmaid again
    06[22:53] * +Dimli nudges Ashford
    [22:53] <+Dimli> "She has a thing for me"
    [22:53] <@Leck> "What do you know about them?"
    [22:53] <@Octara> "Yes, a boot"
    [22:53] <@Octara> "I know they caused the river to catch fire."
    06[22:53] * @Leck looks interested and terrified at the same time by the concept that they might actually do something about it
    [22:54] <@Octara> "Started in the Warden quarter"
    06[22:54] * +Dimli kneels next to Leck and whispers to him
    [22:54] <Ashford> "A river to catch fire?"
    06[22:54] * Wilhorn looks sceptical
    01[22:54] <Wilhorn> "What with? Oil?
    [22:54] <@Octara> "It burned many people doing laundry, bathing, fishing
    [22:54] <@Octara> It was awful"
    06[22:55] * @Leck smiles at Dimli looking slightly braver
    [22:55] <@Leck> "I could never imagine being powerful enough to make water burn..."
    [22:55] <+Dimli> "Sounds like they need a kicking"
    [22:55] <@Octara> She nods
    06[22:55] * +Dimli rises to his feet, flexing his arms
    [22:55] <@Octara> "They need... tackling"
    [22:55] <@Leck> "And you know where they are?"
    06[22:55] * Ashford feels very sad at the current situation. "This isn't what magic is supposed to be used for..."
    01[22:56] <Wilhorn> "They sound dangerous."
    06[22:56] * @Leck nods fiercely at Ashford
    06[22:56] * Wilhorn looks angry
    01[22:56] <Wilhorn> "And with no care who they harm."
    [22:56] <@Octara> "I know they are not the strongest mages I have met, that's for sure. They are simply hidden."
    [22:57] <+Dimli> "Mages or not, they'll bleed like anyone else."
    [22:57] <@Leck> "Well it's three nights ago, right? So if we stay around until nightfall they should come to us... right?"
    01[22:57] <Wilhorn> "They could attack anywhere."
    [22:57] <Ashford> "Strongest mage...?" He thought of his master and his bands of golems, especially his laughter when he chases him and his peers around with them, and shudders.
    [22:57] <@Octara> (brb, pause play)
    [22:58] <Ashford> ((For me, the time for breakfast is near. XD))
    06[22:58] * @Leck suddenly freezes on the spot
    06[23:00] * Wilhorn looks oddly at the suddenly frozen Leck and prods him suspiciously
    [23:00] <+Dimli> ((He's paused, fool :¬P))
    01[23:00] <Wilhorn> ((I know! Couldn't resist! XD))
    [23:00] <@Leck> (( lol, I just want to fight something! ))
    [23:00] <+Dimli> ((So it looks like we're beating down some mages. Should be fun))
    [23:01] <@Leck> (( Aye, my specialty! ))
    [23:01] <@Octara> (Sorry about that, was worried the oven had exploded XD)
    06[23:01] * @Leck flexes his mage-killer muscles
    [23:01] <@Octara> (And we're back)
    [23:01] <@Octara> "There was a symbol left at their last scene."
    [23:01] <+Dimli> "Oh?"
    06[23:01] * @Leck unfreezes
    [23:01] <+Dimli> "I'm an expert on symbols"
    [23:02] <@Leck> "Wait - what?"
    06[23:02] * @Leck looks shocked
    [23:02] <@Leck> "I mean - uh... of course you are."
    [23:02] <@Octara> She draws out a small scrap of parchment with the logo coaled onto it
    01[23:02] <Wilhorn> "Especially if they mark a Tavern, eh Friend"
    06[23:02] * Ashford nods. "I can try and discern, but I'm just an amateur, so..."
    06[23:02] * Wilhorn smiles
    [23:02] <@Octara> (Anybody have Knowledge: Religion?)
    06[23:02] * +Dimli looks at the parchment
    [23:02] <@Leck> (( Nope, just arcane ))

    [23:04] <@Leck> "But we're... we're going to... stop them, right?"
    [23:04] <@Octara> "I would ask around, but I fear it's a religious symbol. Something that could get me in a lot of trouble"
    [23:04] <+Dimli> "We're going to try, Leck"
    06[23:04] * @Leck doesn't look too keen on the idea, but seems determined nonetheless

    [23:06] <+Dimli> ((What does the symbol look like?))
    [23:06] <@Octara> It looks like antlers on a field, the picture is in black and white
    [23:07] <+Dimli> have I seen it before anywhere? On any temples maybe?
    [23:07] <@Octara> nope, the temples r
    [23:07] <@Octara> ugh
    [23:08] <@Octara> the temples that are 'allowed' are Heironeous, Ehlonna, Pelor, Kord, St. Cuthbert, Fharlanghn, Obad-Hai, Olidrammara, Hextor, Nerull, Vecna and Erythnul. It isn't any one of them
    06[23:08] * @Leck follows Wee Jas
    [23:08] <@Octara> You won't find her temple in any main city
    [23:09] <@Octara> her temples tend to be secluded
    [23:09] <+Dimli> "So, a relicious our cane cult that come out every three days to wreak havoc eh?"
    [23:10] <@Leck> "Um that sounds about right Dimli."
    01[23:10] <Wilhorn> "And they're going to be killing again tonight."
    [23:10] <@Octara> The maid nods
    06[23:11] * @Leck scowls
    [23:11] <@Leck> "Not if we can stop them."
    06[23:11] * Ashford remain silent.
    [23:11] <@Leck> His expression doesn't even come close to the confidence of his words
    06[23:11] * +Dimli looks decidedly unhappy about the situation
    01[23:11] <Wilhorn> "We can stop them. We need to find them first though."
    [23:12] <+Dimli> "Mage problems for mages to sort out.."
    [23:12] <@Leck> "I... I can suck out their magic."
    [23:12] <@Octara> "I know for a fact that the patrols tonight are focused around the Coin Ward and the Market ward. They already attacked the Warden quarter. The Noble Quarter is defended by magic and sword. Greeting quarter is empty at night mostly. The likliest targets are Charity or Downward"
    [23:12] <@Leck> "Charity?"
    [23:12] <@Octara> "It's where the non humans are allowed to live"
    06[23:13] * @Leck looks shocked
    01[23:13] <Wilhorn> "Aye, and downward is home to the poor"
    06[23:13] * +Dimli spits, narrowly missing the barmaid
    [23:13] <@Leck> "Don't they get guards?"
    [23:13] <Ashford> "... Don't tell me..."
    [23:13] <@Octara> "Very few"
    [23:14] <@Leck> "I say we go to there then. The poor don't make good targets for terrorism, right?"
    06[23:15] * Wilhorn thinks
    [23:15] <@Octara> She nods
    [23:15] <@Octara> "I will probably be in the area myself"
    06[23:15] * @Leck smiles
    01[23:15] <Wilhorn> "Can we count on your help then?"
    [23:15] <@Leck> "Then maybe we can fight together."
    [23:16] <@Octara> "I avoid getting involved, but I will see what I am able to do
    [23:16] <@Octara> "
    [23:16] <@Leck> "What time is it?"
    [23:16] <Ashford> "Yes... we need as much help as possible. Thank you."
    [23:16] <@Octara> It's only about midday
    [23:16] <@Leck> "What should we do until night-time?"
    01[23:17] <Wilhorn> ((What time's sunset?))

    [23:27] <@Octara> nope

    [23:28] <@Leck> "Wait, what?" His face borders on panic and he shuffles as close as he can get to Dimli
    [23:28] <+Dimli> With his other hand, Dimli draws a slightly belt javelin
    01[23:29] <Wilhorn> ((Wait a minute. Who's Ashley?))
    [23:30] <@Leck> "Oh, good idea..." He whispers, and unhooks a sling from his belt, taking a small lead bullet from one of his multiple belt pouches and loading it into the sling.
    [23:30] <Ashford> ((Sorry. Ashford.))
    06[23:30] * +Dimli , with suprising dexterity, spins the javelin around in his fingers a couple of times
    [23:30] <@Octara> are you guys going in or searching around a bit?
    [23:31] <+Dimli> "I'll go first"

    [​IMG] Sorry about the abrupt end guys. Had an incredibly stroppy boyfriend demanding I logged off there and then. He seemed to think thirty seconds was enough time to wrap up combat and log off :rolleyes: I will be reminding him of this next time he complains we can't leave somewhere because he needs to do something.

    The only nights where Kev doesn't have to sleep for work the next day are Saturday and Sunday nights (Guessing that's Sunday and Monday morning for you, SilencedFaith?) Past couple of weeks he's been having to get up at 6am as he's fitting his shop currently, and working in the next town over, I'm not sure if he'll be okay with the game running longer when he gets transferred locally though. He needs a lot more sleep than I do :xx:

    We can move the session if everyone is free on those days, hell I can even start in the morning or during the day. At the moment I can just see a lot of frustration if games continue to be interrupted like this :doh:

    [​IMG] Yes, hopefully the next session will be more attentive. I'll make sure I have the material I require composed before the session begins. It can begin as early in the day as everyone is present.

    I work until 8pm so I won't be around early I'm afraid. Also that's 4am for Silenced so I doubt he'd want to get there much earlier lol

    I'm sure no-one minds cutting loose at a reasonable enough time for your fella 8. Even just a couple of hours as long as it's regular is long enough to get our fixes lol

    Hope you guys enjoyed it, I'm currently jotting down ideas where each player will get to shine, Dimli was utterly ruthless last night :D so if there's anything you want to see appear or you have ideas on where your aiming to specialise or even anything you don't want to see, feel free to post it up, or message me if you want to keep it between DM and character.

    I'll be stuck in the flat for a while (lift is broken and I'm on the third floor, derp) so if anyone wants to have a social between a couple of characters or a private session to establish backstory I should be trackable if not entirely coherent.

    [​IMG] Doesn't look like game will be happening tonight, sorry guys.

    Will give bonus XP to any backstories written up or socials posted up instead. The game would have had to end at around half past ten (just over an hour of RP)

    On upside Kev should be being transferred soon, which means later nights, woop!

    Hey guys. Looks like I won"t be able to make next Tues, or the one a fortnight later.

    Sorry.

    If one of you wants to PM me a email addy before sun morning, I'll send you a PDF of my character sheet so you can have the pleasure of controlling wilhorn.

    Well in absence it's more customary to make an excuse why they're absent, like he's off trying to get help, or info etc. etc.

    Also, I'll PM you some background info asap Occy, just been pretty busy recently!
