Oh, and obligatory Blackadder pic, since it's how everyone recognises these thread.

Pic is you and your faithful lackey scheming.

>>9397111

lets go to seakay, see if we can find a blacksmith and archatect. visit that jewler. see about courting shefs daughter, give her the alchemy gift and vial/bottle of dragon blood.

also from wiki
>Peat is important for farmers and gardeners, who mix it into soil to improve its structure and to increase acidity. The most important property of peat is retaining moisture in soil when it is dry and yet preventing the excess of water from killing roots when it is wet.

this sounds like we could use our excess peat to improve the soil quality.

>>9397145
PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK

repostan here:
A tea tree starts out as a bush (and stays that way due to trimming). I doubt the whole swamp is only old trees. And seeds usually survive fires.

Do we have any building projects currently?

>>9397195
The problem isn't so much about seeds surviving. The problem has more to do with water tables. Without the trees there to keep the water table down you get flooding. The excess water leads to the trees that survived initially drowning which makes the water table problems even worse. Eventually what you end up with is a swamp.

To clarify for the guy in the other thread, tea trees produce a mildly anti-microbial oil, not tea. They're quite common here in Australia.

>>9397181
Indeed you could. If you decided to keep a portion of it, you could gain a small bonus to your food production.

>>9397218
There's not really much point in selling all of it since the market bottomed out. May as well use it to improve our crops and sell the excess. We'd probably turn a larger profit that way.

>>9397195

If there are left we need to send our horticulturist (is that how you spell it?) there so search for them

>>9397208
True. I was kinda counting on there being stable zones where some plants might have survived. Thus making the offer to the outlaws, if they don't find anything we loose nothing if they do, PROFIT!

>>9397218
lets do that with the rice and patatos. send some to our second village too, it had bad soil for farming right?

This is a tea tree.

This is a tea bush.

Know the difference. It could save your life.

>>9397244
this and this sound like good ideas
>>9397181

>>9397218
Oh do this.

>9 peasants to assign.
TO THE ARMY WITH THEM! WE NEED MEAT SHIELDS!

can we put the 9 peasants on men at arms training?

I just remembered, we have a auto-crit from last thread still, plus the DANGA sense we haven't seen at all yet.

>>9397302

I hope we can get SPIDEY sense is we roll bad on courting or something

>>9397248
The soil is bad for farming due to being too acidic, and full of rocks. So no, the other village can't use it to farm, but you're hardly short of arable land.

for every unit of peat you used on a crop, you add 1/10th to the yield, up to 10 units of peat on a single crop. How many on what crops?

>>9397244
You remember to put a small bounty on live tea bushes brought in, and to tell the local outlaws. What should the bounty be?

>>9397251
>>9397255
>Melaleuca alternifolia
I thought we were taking about Camellia sinensis allowed to grow wild.

>>9397269
>>9397291

Agreed. We'll need them on our next expedition in the swamps.

>>9397321
2 coppers per live plant delivered?

When are we heading to Seakay?

>>9397321

Well, add peat till we max out the quality

I'm not sure we should invest too heavily in tea, guys. I don't want to be invaded by England.

>>9397321
1 copper or a small bag of food for every pound of useful stuff they bringin

also, use 10 peat on all non turnup crops

>>9397291
You can make them yeomen. If You also may put yeomen onto men at arms training, if you have the equiptment spare. . . which you don't for the most part. You have 1 man-at-arms gear, from a dead man at arms brought back from the swamp. The other men at arms who died lost their kit to the virmen which took them alive.

>>9397362
Acidic soil = good for tea

>>9397363
or
>>9397360
?

Also, you only have 16 units of peat to allocate at the moment.

>>9397358
This month, when you're ready.

>>9397384
I like this.
>>9397363
Put the peat on non rice and turnip crops first. Max out the bonus.

>>9397368
when we go to seakay remember, if we cant find a blacksmith to make them we need to buy weapons and armor. also can we make our leather into leather armor?

>>9397384
Both?

>>9397368
Shit. I remember that. If we hadn't died we would've discussed an attempt to negotiate his return.

Can we still do it? Spread word into the swamp via outlaws that we are willing to negotiate for the return of our man? It's worth an effort on the low, low chance that he's still alive.

>>9397368

Those rat motherfuckers. Let's remember that we promised ourselves that we'd deliver vengeance for our fallen brothers.

We'll try to buy armor or hire a blacksmith in Seakay later.

Hoping for a blacksmith.

Really, really hoping.

>>9397384
we have enough turnups use the peat on the other crops first

>>9397401
The men taken by the Virmen? They're likely rat food at this point.

>>9397415
likely but not certainly

rolled 2 = 2

alchemy for this month

Oh, did the others remember to take a few rock worms for study?

>>9397378
Give me a source for that, and I'll give you an in game bonus.

>>9397401
You spread the word of a bonus for our mens safe return, along with the news about the teatree bonus.

Numbers for peat allocation, please.

>>9397415
More like rat dungs

10 to rice the rest for patatoes

yeah, a lot for rice. less for potatoes.

>>9397444
>In addition to a zone 8 climate or warmer, tea plants require at least 127 cm. (50 inches) of rainfall a year and prefer acidic soils.[11]

http://www.tocklai.net/Cultivation/index.aspx

We must gather peat till we max out our quality then put the workers back to what they were doing

The Senate would like to enquire the following. Wasn't Sarah Sheff described as blonde in earlier thread?

The Senate would like to advise the consul Thomas to enrich his soil as is appropriate. Also, garnering the support of a fertility god/goddess of agriculture is always good for the crops. Please refer to Cato's De Agri Cultura for details on the proper rituals and sacrifices, as well as general policy of agri culture for the proper land owner.

rolled 1 = 1

event roll

>>9397427
With the +1 for your kit, that's a critical success.
.4 to alchemy, and you've made several new discoveries.

You can use dragons blood to increase the potency of your alchemical corrosive bags, half a waterskin should do each bag. Also, dragons blood can be used as a catalyst, allowing you to do more complex experiments. You have discovered:
Complex Experiment: d16 +.4 for a pass.

>>9397502
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Didn't somebody take your dice away last time?

rolled 6 = 6

rolling for how finkying unlucky we are this month.

+1 luck bonus ring used.

>>9397510
The Senate recalls that those who rolled 1s where henceforth forbidden from rolling again.

>>9397502

You bastard!

Leave and never return!

Was picnic at hanging rock the correct guess for the bonus mentioned in the OP?

>>9397473
>>9397477
Cheers, I'll let you use that acidity to give your tea production bonuses once you get it up.

>>9397499
She's died her hair, with an alchemical mix that lasts longer then most current mixes and is warterfast.

>>9397485
Bonus needs regular usage, how much is actually used will vary, depending on soil pH, but your horticulturist can handle that. Suffice to say it's a monthly expenditure.

>>9397502
Roll a d10 for event severity, I'll work it into the plot.

rolled 2 = 2

>>9397551

rolled 1 + 1 = 2

>>9397551

someone rolled already, we got 7

rolled 9 = 9

as i said before: +1 luck ring.

>>9397555
Get out.

>>9397546
Nope.
Suffice to say, I've chosen this pic for a reason.

>>9397523
7, not too bad.

>>9397555
>>9397559

>>9397523

>>9397555

>>9397555
You are a hero, but never roll again

>>9397595
Sorry, sir. Generally I just stick to alchemy rolls.

SPQR demands that someone identify the picture provided of Sarah Sheff. Knowledge of its origin could prove crucial to proper foresight in planning.

>>9397607
good on you

>>9397591

Oh God, this motherfucker again. I thought we got rid of him

>>9397611
You're kind of acting like a tool with the whole SPQR schtick, mate. Could you dial it back a little?

>>9397611
Yeah seriously though, cut it out.

>>9397502

Sigh, looks like I always roll criticals.
The only random thing is whether they are high or low...

>>9397643
Rolled the last crit in the thread before we came back from the dead.

Felt good, bro.

>>9397638
>>9397631
Oh, alright. I'll stop. Seriously though, absolutely no one knows the origin of the pic?

>>9397643
Haha. You're the guy who killed us aren't you? And then saved our ass in the Death Trials.

>>9397643
>>9397607
Is this guy Alchemy Ones from the earlier threads, who rolled us some nice successes?

>>9397611
>SPQR
i always read that as "Spork" for some reason?

Time to skip to Seakay, I think.

>>9397661
no, I'm the guy who destroyed or first alchemy set, then went on to roll one of the two crits on the dragon.

>>9397669
those also (at least a few)

>>9397669

>>9397555
>>9397607

Is the guy you refered to as Alchemy Ones.

>>9397680
Oh, nice work.

>>9397679
You head to Seakay, arriving a few days early to drop in on your friend Lord Sheff.

Who do you take with you?
Who do you leave in charge?

>>9397691
Good to see your still around in these threads mate :)

I believe that's Marie Curie from Young Einstein. Nice reference QL.

>>9397704
I'd like to take Erik with us because it's been a while since he's been adventuring and because he's decent at ferreting out information. But with Smyatt gone who else could run the Estate?

rolled 1 = 1

Aegon, Doobs and Cohen come with us.

Someone else?

>>9397704
take doobs and our bard. ask if any of the others want to come

>>9397726
yeah, Erik should stay.

>>9397726
Doobs could keep things running, with some help. Only for a week or so though. He is lettered, and can do some maths. You don't think you trust Harry enough to leave him in charge of the place.

>>9397720
It's good to be here.

>>9397704
Leave Erik in charge, in lieu of Smyatt. Take Aegon, if he's finished the work about the dragon, Doobs Leold, as usual, and Cohen, so we can introduce him to Sheff. Also, maybe our chef, since Sheff loves cooking.

>>9397723
Possible identification? Confirm?

That picture can't be MARIE CURIE FROM YOUNG EINSTEIN STARRING YAHOO SERIOUS

>>9397794
GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH SAYS IT IS. I KNEW I'D SEEN HER SOMEWHERE BEFORE.

Now that I remember...what happened to the magic artefact we were looking for in the swamp?

I'm just going to leave this here.

>>9397723
Nicely done mate :)
Loved that movie.

You can chose:
>1 reroll of any romance roll, usable this thread only.
> +2 to Sarah's opinion of you
> A permanent upgrade your romance ring, allowing it to be used twice a month

>>9397749
Baldric, Leold, Shorty, Harry, Cohen and Urist (newly returned) also wish to attend. Urist says he's teed up some purchases here he thinks you'll be happy with.

Investigate the purchases made by Urist.

>>9397846
The ring upgrade seems to have the most utility there.

>>9397860
He says that they'll be waiting on market day. If you want he can tell you now, or he can leave it as a surprise.

>>9397846
if we take them all whos left over?

>>9397862
i second the ring upgrade

>>9397862
don't know, we don't it often, the direct +2 is tempting.

>>9397876
Let's not ruin Urist's surprise.

>>9397846

Romance ring upgrade.

Let's take everybody then. What does Urist have?

>>9397846
There's no way we're taking Baldric and Harry along. At the same time, there's no way we can leave them behind unsupervised. I guess Erik might end up staying in the end.

Suggested group: Doobs, Leold, Cohen, Urist. I guess Shorty will have to come along since he's Doob's squire.

>>9397882
Erik, Zeek, Marcus, Dan and Wrigley.

>>9397901
this

I second +2 to our romance rolls per month. It gives us plenty of opportunity to not fuck shit up with her.

>>9397898
Look at this way, we're going to have lots of chances to improve her opinion of us. However, that ring saved our asses royally last time. Having two uses a month would be fantastic.

And, in a absolute worst case scenario where we flame out with Sarah, not that it's going to happen, we can use the ring wooing somebody else. Hell, we can even leave it as an heirloom for our kids. And having stronger magic items means you love them more. It's like having better presents at Christmas.

>>9397846
The first one is unnecessary since we still have a leftover autocrit, which I hope we can hold onto as long as possible.

The second and third are preferable and my personal suggestion is the third.

>>9397911
>>9397893
>>9397862
Your romance ring now has two uses per month.

>>9397924
could they manage to not fuck up our fife if we leave them in charge for a few weeks?

>>9397914
I'd like to take Harry along because he's decent at noticing shenanigans. It also keeps him where we can watch him.

>>9397938
kk, let's go with the ring upgrade

>>9397924
I guess Zeek can be in charge. He's a priest with a vow of poverty right? So he'll probably handle the responsibility well.

Let's get a move on to Seakay! Make sure to bring all of our gifts.

WE SHOULD BRING A DRAGON'S CLAW or something for a gift to Sheff.

Get Harry Along. Hw will be of use to us.

>>9397949
With Erik in charge, they'll do fine. Dan and Wrigley are learned, and won't make a mess, but they're hardly known as leaders, etc. Marcus is well liked, but hardly good at keeping anything more then a kitchen running, and Zeek is all about Exidaid and his healin'.

>>9397984

Oh yeah, definitely take a gift for Sheff

>>9397978
It also means he doesn't have the experience handeling money. Erik stays, it's for the best.

>>9397986
>>9397960
Bring harry, Doobs, Leold, Cohen, Urist and Shorty?

>>9397949
But we don't even own a fife. Are we proficient in any musical instrument? Maybe we should look into becoming so.

Hm, okay. Here's my suggestion. Bring Erik, Leold, Doobs, Cohen, Aegon and Urist. Harry and Shorty tag along, the former so he can pick up anything interesting on the street. Let Zeek be the nominal "lord" in our absence.

THAT SOUNDS GOOD LQ. It leaves someone relatively capable in charge.

LET'S GET A BIT OF DRAGON FOR SHEFF AND GET A MOVE ON.

>>9397995
Second.

It's a shame to not have Erik there but next time Smyatt will be there to cover for him.

>>9397984
>>9397994
this

>>9397984

Shit yes! Gifts for bros.

Also make sure we bring plenty of gold with us (60 gold, leave 5 for emergencies back at the town).

>>9398023
I'd be wary, but we do have spider sense.

>>9398030
and a thief turned thief catcher

>>9398007
Not particularly. Some noble families train their sons in music, it's a fashionable skill for a lord to have. Your family was more about fighting drills. Even your younger brother who joined the priesthood was enlisted as a priest of Wayd, a notoriously violent god, known for fighting for the sake of fighting. His priests are somewhere between paladins and mercenaries.

>>9398023
Oh man. Carrying 60 gold on the open road without an army. Granted we'll have a good fighting retinue with us and we'll have buying power at the market but that's just asking fate to troll us.

>>9398042
>Wayd
>Mercenary
>Fighting for the sake of fighting

Deadpool.jpg

>>9398048
Spider sense. . .

ALSO, BEFORE WE GO

Go to our lumber supplies, find a piece of wood that would make a good club for Shorty.

A nice huge club that he could crush men with.

>>9398061
OH MAN

Awesome catch, man

>>9398048

They'd have to spend more than 60 gold hiring guys and equipping them to take our cash from us at this point.

>>9398061
Heh, you're right

take all but five gold and everyone who wants to go, leave erik incharge. also look for some of those dwarfen sun mushrooms we got back in one of the first threads

>>9398061
Sorry Brian Blessed

We have a new god.

Shorty's recovered his sight by now right? No point lugging around a blind man on a trek.

Excuse me QL any info on what happened with the dragon's remaining body? Did we get the trophy of its head?

>Taking with us 60 gold after a 1 on event table.

notsogoodanidea.jpg

Hey

Really glad to get into this forum
It's what I am looking for.
Hope to know more member here.

>>9398016
With a dragons claw in a bag for Sheff (with some leather to cover the claws) you arrive at Seakay. You present him with the gorey trophy as you greet him outside his manor.
"Thom, good to see you! Your recovery is astounding, who would know you were unconscious for a full fortnight?"
>>9398048
You aren't stupid, you only have half in your main purse, and the rest in smaller purses over your body. But you've killed dragons, thieves don't worry you.

>>9398061
Pic related :)

Known for being violent in the extremes, the psychopathic paladins of wayde bathe in a death-pool of blood of past members at their induction. It is whispered that spirits of previous members will 'haunt' the new preist, advising him, and helping him battle. They are famed for their ability to multi-task in battle, often gibbering insults and nonsense as they attack. civilised beserkers, they are only put up with as they are at the behest of the king, and in emergencies are fielded as an undisciplined but amazing fighting force.
+1 rep with Wayd.

>>9398088
No need for monotheism here, Wayd and Byron are friendly with eachother, their love of brawling and rough sports making them well disposed towards each other. Doesn't mean they don't fight occasionally, but there is no malice in it.

>>9398095
Yep.

>>9398129
It is interesting that the QL never gave us an event. Almost as if...he was saving it for later.

:O

>>9398158
Almost as if . . .

SHEFF'S DAUGHTER IS ALREADY ENGAGED!

>>9398062
Shorty has trained in the use of the 'short' sword. Actually an old bastard sward he wields as a short sword. He carries a wooden "buckler" (read full shield) he bashes faces with too.

>>9398170
: ----------------- |

TALK TO SHEFF IMMEDIATELY ABOUT OUR INTENTIONS

>>9398152
Ask him about the festivities that will be taking place and how his family is doing. No need to bring up the topic of courtship now. We'll wait for a more appropriate moment.

>>9398158
I am. I have something in mind. And not >>9398170 either.

>>9398170
DON'T WORRY IT TURNS OUT THAT SHE'S ACTUALLY JUST ENGAGED TO US FROM A FUTURE TIMELINE. YOU'LL UNDERSTAND ONCE YOU FIND THE CHRONOHORSE.

"good to see you too, friend, how have you been doing?"

What I'd really like to do is get Dragonhide shields made for Sheff, Doobs and our brother.

>>9398199
And a dragonhide tunic for us, to be worn under our breastplate.

>>9398152
ask how things have been going for him

>>9398175
As you and Sheff go admire his hounds, you bring up Sarah, more particularly courting her.
Roll D10 for your diplomacy, wanting high.

>>9398208
oh fuck, use the ring guys

>>9398152

"It was certainly a most... interesting experience. How's the family? Well I hope?"

rolled 1 = 1

>>9398208

>>9398208
Choo choo.

Come on QL, we would've done it anyway, just at a more appropriate time.

It's almost like nobody wants to touch this roll in case they fuck up.

But use the ring whoever does roll.

>>9398228
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK

>>9398228

HERESY!

>>9398228
WHAT THE FUCK

>>9398228
forgot the zero please ignore

>>9398228
DAMN! That s like the 3rd critical 1 in a row!

Can we use auto-crit?

>>9398228
SEE? THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD'VE WAITED FOR A MORE APPROPRIATE TIME. THIS IS WHY GODDAMNIT.

>>9398228
GOD DAMN YOU TO HELL

>>9398228

>>9398251
Agreed.

Can we burn the auto-crit instead?

Do we even need to bring it up right now? We could wait a bit till the time is right

>>9398247
Yeah nice try faggot. It sucks but it's a legit roll.

Use the goddamn ring bonuses if we get a rescue roll!

Think about it though, I mean, the dude loves us, we're awesome, how bad could a crit 1 really be here?

we are using the ring, as it was said.

Of course we gonna fail, this is not a good time yet. Let's do it later guys, during/after the festival

GAME OVER, MAN.

GAME OVER.

>>9398264
>>9398251
The autocrit can only be used before a roll.

Besides, this shouldn't have even been brought up this early. Slow down QL.

>>9398228
/tg/ you never fail to ruin everything

>>9398264
>>9398251

Motion is carried!

(Thirding)

You make noises that sound like a dying dog whilst flailin your arms and stroking an imaginary three foot wide by three foot long penis

>>9398264
Sure

>>9398232
Sorry, should have asked for a 2nd.

>>9398219
"Interesting would be the least of it from all accounts. This is a claw from the dragon you say?"

>>9398278
>>9398281
Ring has to be used in the post.

>>9398297
So wait, what happened?

>>9398288
right on both points

>>9398293

"No offense bro, your daughter has an ass to write home about. How would you feel about my penis in your progeny?"

>>9398288
Hush you. I'll allow it, FOR ROMANCE. Just this once.

WHAT THE FUCK!

I GO TO THE BATHROOM TO TAKE A DUMP, I COME BACK TO SEE WE ROYALLY BLEW IT WITH SARAH?

WHAT THE FUCK TG, WHAT THE FUCK?

we are NOT burning the autocrit now. Things can still be rescued.

rolled 1 = 1

>>9398317
YES

>>9398297
"Yes. My party and I were surveying a local ruin in the nearby swamps. Apparently one had made it its residence." coolface.jpg

Also, I guess the crit fail was just us picturing the worst way this conversation could've gone and deciding against bringing up the subject.

>>9398327
STOP ROLLING. JESUS CHRIST

>>9398327
STOP

ROLLING

>>9398327
Stick to the alchemy rolls mate. If that's Alchemy Ones again, put it in your trip, as a warning. Because damn that's some terrible rolling.

>>9398327
Okay now it's just funny.

>>9398228
>>9398327

can we switch to low rolls for romance?

>>9398347
Man, I wouldn't touch a Sarah roll with a forty foot pole. No way in hell I'd risk screwing that up with my luck.

Honestly, I've never been one for Sarah. Sheff is pretty cool guy, but that blood pact thingy really spooked me.

If I had my way, we'd just keep Sheff and family as an "Oh shit" button if we were to start getting picked on and look elsewhere.

>>9398327
FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

>>9398368
we used auto-crit roll don't matter
now hush and let us go on

>>9398327
Welcome to Team Alchemy, brah.

GOD DAMN IT GUYS.

WE HAVE ANGERED THE DICE GODS. THEY REQUIRE SACRIFICE.

ok, autocrit on the ROMANCE roll, then.

>>9398333
"A mean feat. And you must have balls bigger then you are if you were so casual at the time. Shit man, a dragon. Excuse the language, but that's the stuff of storybooks, I only half believed in them up until now. The claw makes for compelling evidence though. Byron this thing must have been huge."

rolled 6 = 6

I'm just going to roll this d10 to see what happens for no real reason at all.

>>9398366
I agree with you completely. That weird Khornate thing always sat with me really weirdly but it wasn't that bad and I don't have that much of a problem with our current goals.

I just wish some of you fucks stopped jumping at the chance to roll and WAIT FOR A MORE APPROPRIATE TIME GODDAMN.

>>9398396
"You know what's really huge? My penis when I think of you daughter. Can sex please?"

>>9398327
YOU! STOP FUCKING ROLLING BEFORE I HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU!

>>9398410
You've misplaced one of your turnips, Baldrick. Perhaps you could go find it.

>>9398381
No we didn't. We never even brought this up. It was all just a runthrough in our heads. It scared us into bringing this up later.

In all seriousness though, we should only bring this up after we've given the gifts (dragon blood and alchemy set).

"Yeah, man. Had to get my wirst deep in his eye before reaching the brain with my sword."

>>9398405
See that's just it, did anything ever happen because of it.

It's creepy in that I don't know what forces we were playing with there. I mean, we fought a dragon, we fought death and won almost without batting an eye, but this just eats at me.

>>9398410
disregard

>>9398396
Don't take all the credit for ourselves. Remember that Doobs helped.

>>9398360
Well put.
>>9398382
I lol'd

>>9398410
More potential flubs run through your mind, as you pick your words with extraordinary care.

>>9398422
Baldrics at home, but even he isn't *that* stupid. He knows that he should avoid talking around the lords without permission.

>>9398448
this
AND STARK TOO!
Tell him how good the dog hi gave us is!

>>9398396
"Perhaps you'll be able to judge its size for yourself someday, when you are again my guest. In the meantime, may I ask what the coming festivities will be?"

>>9398382
Thanks, I think.

>>9398465
Second. SECONDSECOND.

I cannot Scruffy.jpg hard enough.

>>9398432
Listen. On the day that Sheff sacrifices us to a long forgotten dead God of Bloodletting, you can say 'I told you so'.

YES, MAKE SURE TO MENTION HOW GREAT STARK IS

AND HOW WE'RE INTERESTED IN GETTING HIM TO BREED AND GET SOME MORE KICKASS DOGS AROUND OUR PLACE

>>9398467
Thought you were referencing penis post.

I lol'd.

>>9398465
Aye, good dog.

>>9398429
You have been waiting since thread number motherfucking one you guys realise. No wonder the stereotype about fa/tg/uys being unable to get a girl is so prominent.

>>9398448
My knight and cousin, Sir Doobs and his squire helped in the battle. Without my comrades, I don't think I would have escaped.

>>9398497
RAGE, is that you?

Crap, we should've thought of a gift we could give Sarah's mom.

>>9398493
Hey, man, that's just one thing I'm worried about. Suppose he can MIND CONTROL us or some crazy shit. Don't doubt the power of blood in a system where magic is crazily arcane.

I mean, we're giving a GIFT of blood from a dragon for gods sakes.

Fuck "lady-like" girls. We want cute nerdy alchemy girl. together we'll spearhead alchemical revolution!

>>9398538
Raise the standard anon, Thom Green > any of us

>>9398465
"Your hound was mighty helpful in the battle too, It didn't baulk or run, and leapt to the offensive at the first chance. Intelligent too, it waited for it's chance to attack."

"Talking of hounds, I must thank you for convincing me to cross Redfear with the sandhound. The puppies are doing really well, and they're all healthy. Ugly mutts, but I think they have promise.

>>9398552
ASK IF HE'LL SELL US A BITCH TO MATE STARK WITH. WE WANT SOME MORE PUPPIES UP IN THIS BITCH OF OURS

>>9398564
Stark is still too young to stud. He's still a puppy. Albeit a HUGE puppy.

>>9398504

Are we still around the doorway? Let's get comfortable and blow out bro's mind with the whole story. Then maybe segue into asking for permission to court his daughter (we were faced with our own mortality, so now we don't want to waste a single day etc.).

If he permits it, let's present her with our gifts.

>>9398564
Sheff's already mentioned that he'll hit us up to use Stark for breeding once he's old enough. Stark comes from a good line.

>You have been waiting since thread number motherfucking one you guys realise.

First thread we were no one.
Now we are a dragon slaying lord of an estate which, while small, is growing steadily.

>>9398588
seconded

>>9398588

The WHOLE whole story, about us dying and coming back to life and all? Remember what Cohen said about blabbing about the challenges and bad luck (which, admittedly, we've certainly seen a fair amount of recently)?

>>9398639
Only the parts we can talk about/don't make us sound like a crazy person, obviously.

>>9398639
Yeah, leave that part out, least he think us mad.

>>9398614

well, the diceroller gave us 2 subsequent crits as soon as our affection for Sarah was mentioned during the fight. Do you want to quit this path and call upon his wrath? Huh? DO YOU?

>>9398504
Because people don't change, right? Maybe it was lust or simply group-thinking, but a third daughter of a minor noble? We've looked upon a world that only gods among men ever speak of.

Don't assume that which has always been shall ever will be.

>>9398672
You shut your whore mouth

>>9398551
At this stage Thom is more eligible then Barney.
Nobility, possible dukedom title, killed a dragon. That's right, they're real, and I killed one. Oh, did I mention I have my own castle? And I'm well off, you'll never need to work or want for money.

Thom Green is better off then anyone in real life could be, because he's the hero of a heroic fiction. But because heroic fiction, the bar is a touch higher too.

>>9398564
"Already? Nay, Stark is too young to be put to stud yet. He doesn't look it, but I'll bet he's still got some growing to do."

>>9398588
Your chilling, over at the dog pens. His men have taken your luggage, and shown your entourage to their rooms.

>>9398614
I know. Not blaming you, just letting the new kids know, and all that.

>>9398622
>>9398588
You wander amicably along as you help Sheff feed the hounds, with some aside for Stark, who is on edge, smelling bitches in heat everywhere. You are glad Sheff built those fences high and solidly, Stark is chomping at the bit.

>>9398667
who said anything about quitting?

>>9398672
Man, do you want a boring court wife who sits around and does embroidery FOR FUN?

Or do you want the woman who practices alchemy, worships the old gods like you do and has an interest in archery.

Do you want cool wife or BORING MODE wife?

>>9398709
Comparing the one woman we've gotten to know compared to -- Oh, right, WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO KNOW OTHER WOMEN.

>>9398672
This is a good point, one that was brought way in the beginning when the option was made available. Are we willing to commit right now and forego all future opportunities?

That said, the dice made it pretty clear what we should do when we double critted that dragon. Then again, it's been doing almost nothing but trolling us recently so...

>>9398724
The ladies you were introduced to back home were much more demure, and also more childish, but then again, that was some time ago for the most part.

>>9398727
>Are we willing to commit right now and forego all future opportunities?

I'm willing to say yes.

TELL HIM WE WANT HIS DAUGHTER ALREADY

God damn

>>9398709
cool wife 4 teh win

>>9398672

We're already in love with this lady. She was in our Challenge of Love administered by agents of Morr, the god of death.

If we drop her so easily, we'll probably lose favor from all our patron gods.

Besides, she seems pretty bro.

>>9398776
Bro chick =/= bro wife

Mark my words, ignoring me will be our downfall.

>>9398776

PS: This means we'll lose hero status due to dickishness, making us a great deal more susceptible to death.

>>9398795
>Implying gods give a fuck about who we fuck.

Prythee, nuncle, trolle?

No body is saying we can't have a few bastards along the way. We are a 'Ye-oldie Lord' after all. Hell, our bastard uncle is one of our bros.

>>9398528
Man Thom Green has got problems. Beneath that exterior of charm and bravado, his mind is a cacophony of anonymous voices full of indecision, paranoia and irrational fears. It's alright though, the other voices might laugh at us, but we'll be right in the end.

>>9398812

I'm guessing a god that puts a CHALLENGE OF LOVE probably does.

>>9398829
Considering it was a retarded challenge that involved her only in name and WE SAW THROUGH IT anyway, I'm sure he's laughing at us.

Guys, is she even fucking interested in us? Just because she was the subject of the Trial of Heart for US, doesn't mean that she reciprocates the feeling. To be honest, I don't recall her showing any strong affection to us. At all.

>>9398766
>>9398759
>>9398709
Segueing smoothly from the Dragon and being faced with your own mortality, you move onto the subject of courting Sarah.
>Using the instant crit you burned.
"Before you get very far discussing your good points, Sheff cuts you off. "Young lad, you're almost like a son to me. So don't take it too badly when I say that you're about as smart as the hunter who relied on the stags to bring him his bow. . . "

Of course you're welcome to court her. I've been trying to expose Sarah to you when ever I had the chance last you were here, and what's more, I have a notion that Sarah wouldn't stand for any less. After your last visit Sarah became downright impossible with her suitors. One she even tricked into using a perfume made from her alchemy, had him in rashes for weeks. "

ALSO

We are going to pave our own way up instead of doing "politiks" and marrying into power.Fuck that.
We started so fucking low in some shitty backwater village. Now we are growing hard, felling mighty beasts doing great alchemy.


What I want as long, long, long term goal is to make our city a place of SCIENCE and enlightenment.

>>9398851
Lolololol, let's go give her our gifts.

>>9398857
wrong quest buddy

>>9398864
YES, GIVE HER THE BLOOD AND ALCHEMY SET, EXPLAIN TO HER THE BASIC SHIT WE'VE LEARNED ABOUT DRAGON'S BLOOD ALREADY, SHE WILL GET WET AS FUCK

THEN TELL HE IN THE MOST NONCHALANT MANNER POSSIBLE THAT WE WISH TO COURT HER

SHE WILL FUCKING CUM STANDING

>>9398827

Oh God, I lol'd

That fits so well with our image >>9397174

>>9398851
Alright, well if that's how it is, then that's how it is. Maybe we should pick up our gifts and find her?

>>9398812
Your patron god has nothing against a few bastards, but society in general says that other ladies aren't a target for bastard making. Knocking a lady up will end in a feud if you don't get married, possibly even bloodshed.

>>9398827
Fucking lol'd hard.

>>9398851
>One she even tricked into using a perfume made from her alchemy, had him in rashes for weeks.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! VICTORY IS OURS!!!!

>"Before you get very far discussing your good points, Sheff cuts you off. "Young lad, you're almost like a son to me. So don't take it too badly when I say that you're about as smart as the hunter who relied on the stags to bring him his bow. . . "

TAKE THAT YOU NAY-SAYERS


>Using the instant crit you burned.
*whistle, whistle*

>>9398827

This is us .

(pic related)

This smells not of awesome. Nay, it smells of psycho. I warn again, I will have vindication.

If I have to roll four 1's in a roll to do it, I shall.

>>9398923
uh oh, troll infestation

>>9398946
>Implying we haven't had them

Don't worry, proper rolling is random, he'll probably do more good than harm.

>>9398961

No doubt. The dice will decide if Nostradamus up there is right or wrong.

>>9398887
You take Sheffs leave, to go and see Sarah.

"Not so fast laddy. I know you're a fine upstanding young man, but the young man part of that means you're crazy if you think I'm letting you near my daughter unchaperoned. See James, before you head up to see Sarah, he should be in his quarters. The servants will let you know the way. He's our head valet, and has acted chaperone for the girls before. There's a basin in the entrance hall too, for your hands."

Well this is all very exciting and I don't know where to go from here. Asking formal permission to court is so two generations ago.

I guess we smile, be courteous and then move the conversation along? He never did tell us what this festival was about.

>>9398972
Oh god, so long as he's not an Alchemy chap

>>9398961
>>9398946
Thom Green's Id has never been a troll. We are simply cautious and we hate critical failures more than anyone else. It's all about knowing, to an exactness, what the hell we're getting into. WE ALL SHARE ONE CONSCIOUSNESS BRO IS IT THAT UNBELIEVABLE THAT WE DON'T WANT TO DIE AGAIN?

>>9398975

"I wouldn't dream of doing anything untoward, of course I'll comply. I'll see you again in a little while, good friend."

>>9398975
Eh, fine. Fair enough.

Let's make some polite conversation with him. Ask him how his experience escorting Sarah have been like and stuff..

>>9398979
It's a merchants festival. Basically they all get together to flog their wares, and trade, since EVERYONE is there, EVERYONE turns up.

>Head over to see Sarah,
or
>Continue chatting with Sheff
?
Or do you have a better idea?

>>9398975
Hmm, I suppose we should have a good chance of killing this James character and locking ourselves in Sarah's room with her...

Nah, just playing. Let's find James then.

>>9399026
Browse the festival, Sarah isn't going anywhere :D

>>9399006
this, while also making the falsest innocent face we can manage and beating our eyelashes theatrically. :P

To be fair, if a young, wealthy, heroic, dragon slaying lord that my daughter was VERY interested in wanted to court my daughter I would probably assign him somewhere around sixty chaperons. Even if loved him like a son.

>>9399026

Sarah. Let's unload these presents so we can stop worrying about them.

>>9399026
finish our chat with sheff then run off to say hi to sarah

>>9399006
>>9399024
>>9399027
You find James, and chat amicably as he escorts you to Sarah's room.
d5 please, perception. Not telling you if you need high or low, so you don't know if you hit or miss.

>>9399056
This.
>>9399053
Then this.

Go see Sarah. Gifts ready.

rolled 2 = 2

>>9399059
I'M GOING TO ROLL. LOOK AT ME GO

rolled 2 = 2

>>9399059
I assume this guy is an assassin to kill us

rolled 1 = 1

>>9399059

>>9399040
We could always visit the festival with Sara (and James)...

Does James also drive the coach?

>>9399069
The annoying thing about a blind d5 is that you have no idea if you've done well or not. Unless you roll a 3, then you know you've done middle of the road.

>>9399069
>>9399073
>>9399075

I think...I think we've angered something.

>>9399092
It's just the dice reaching a consensus that we needed to roll low.

>Not telling you if you need high or low, so you don't know if you hit or miss.

If we have these in the future, can I roll again? ;__;

I sure as fuck hope we wanted low.

Of course, OP not telling us could mean he just wants us to either win or fail no matter what, and does this to facilitate that.

LQ, DONT FORGET OUR SPIDER SENSE

>>9399040
Doesn't start yet bro. Starts tomorrow, properly the day after.
>>9399069
James seems to be a good intentioned man, but a little thick. However he is polite and formal, as you chat to him, you decide you quite like the fellow. You notice his slowness in the little details, how he pauses when put on the spot, how he sticks to 'safe' territory, etc.
>>9399076
Indeed he does. His duties include organising the other servants, being Lord Sheffs personal Valet, and undertaking many of the minor but important duties Sheff wouldn't trust the other staff with. This is paired with a largely unsubtle wink.

>>9399118
WE'RE LIKE PETER PARKER EXCEPT WITHOUT THE ANGST OR THE ABILITY TO CLIMB THINGS WITHOUT DYING.

>>9399127
He aborts the bastards, yes?

>>9399127
I like this guy.

>>9399147
wat

where'd you get that from?

>>9399118
I wont.

>>9399128
OR THE ABILITY TO SHOOT WEB. WE DO LIKE SCIENCE TOO THOUGH. MAYBE WE SHOULD TRY AND MAKE ALCHEMICAL WEBS?

>>9399128
lol'd

>>9399128
inb4 Mephisto gives us our own personal OMD

Tanglefoot Bags. We need them.

>>9399175
Mephisto? OMD? Spidey reference I'm guessing?

I don't think James is really as dense as he's portraying himself to be.

>>9399231

Yep.

"One more day" was some retarded thing Marvel did that EVERYONE hated. I don't know the detail though

>>9399250
probable, but as long as we are respectful there shouldn't be a problem either way

>>9399231
If you were a terrible, terrible QL, it's something I'm sure you'd do.

>>9399250
I think you're right. The pauses sound odd. We need to keep an eye on him. Plus, LQ said we liked him, so we need to be cautious.

Alchemical webs don't sound like a bad idea. FUND IT.

>>9399262
Worse then the clones?

>>9399283
>>9399250
>>9399267
M-m-m-meta gaming up in this bitch.
But I suppose that's unavoidable.

>>9399302
On par I'd say

>>9399127
dont forget to wash our hands. if sheff felt the need to mention it then its probaly a good idea

>>9399311
It's not metagaming, per se.

We've noticed that he's slow at answering questions in detail, that he's not good at being put on the spot. I don't read that as dense, I read it as hiding something, probably that he's a spy.

Who better to have as undercover spy than the servant who goes everywhere?

>>9399340
have harry look into it

>>9399297
I'ma work this one in as a potential alchemical prize.

Also, if you have anything you want in particular in alchemy, or something of interest, mention it when it's alchemy rolling time, I'll take it on board.

You arrive at Sarah's room, gifts in hand. Knocking politely, you wait as you hear "Coming mother! It's not yet time for dinner, and I do-. . Oh. . . Good afternoon Lord Green. So good to see you. I didn't expect to see you before this eve."

>>9399340

JAMES BOND !

>>9399297
I still want to synthesise rock worm juices and revolutionise quarrying, then sell the secret to the mining guild for a large sum of money.

>>9399365
I like the cut of your jib, sir.

>>9399362
"Might I intrude upon your time for a few minutes?"

>>9399362
Okay, step 1, summon Russ and kill James. Step 2? Well, you know.

>>9399339
I assumed you did. I mentioned it because you might not realise properly that you were feeding dogs chunks of raw meat.

>>9399352
second?

>>9399365
Unfortunately, more concerned with your demise, gathering rock worms was put to the wayside after you took the vertical long jump.

>>9399362
I apologize, milady, I'll see you then. *exunt*

>>9399405
Second.

>>9399362

We make a quip about how we couldn't resist a moment longer. Ask how she's faring, then present her with our gifts.

Win epically.

>>9399405
>Unfortunately, more concerned with your demise, gathering rock worms was put to the wayside after you took the vertical long jump.

we will have to put a bounty on those too

>>9399393
This. But perhaps greet her first.

>>9399352

What do we do if Harry is caught? If this guy is some sort of spymaster, it's a possibility.

>>9399393
Yes, please do. Uh, my room is in no state to take visitors, might we go to the gardens?

>>9399421
You make a mental note to get Harry to watch James (as he watches you) next chance you get.

>>9399393

Second

DON'T YOU MAKE US ROLL AGAIN, DM

>>9399405

Hold off on sending Harry until we discuss this a bit more.

Yes, have Harry investigate. But make sure he is subtle as fuck. Add the rock worms to the bounty. They must be alive though.

Present her the gifts we brought.

ACT SUAVE AS FUCK

>>9399454
"Of course, but first, I brought something for you." Might as well give the dragon blood and alchemy set now, before heading to the gardens.

>>9399454

Show her the presents and ask her if heading to the alchemy lab is more appropriate instead.

"Sure thing, My Lady. Lead the way."

>>9399484

Second

>>9399454
"I'd be delighted to." wait with the gifts for an opportune time, we can still help her bring them back later or James will do it

>>9399501
Thirdan

>>9399518
also remember we are talking to a nerd girl, giving the gifts immediately will risk shifting her interest from us to exclusively them

>>9399520
>>9399501
>>9399484
Chatting happily, you present her with her gift and then head to her alchemy "lab", generally being suave. You look around, and see a funtional work desk, with some scrolls pinned to a board and others nearby in a small scroll-shelf. She hurriedly rips down a couple of the pinned notes, and puts them into a draw. After some alchemy talk, as you tell her of the virtues of dragon blood, and give her some (in the finest jar you had available, nothing gold inlaid or fancible, but practical and better then a water skin. This of course leads to her asking about the dragon. Roll a d20 for how well you retell it.

>>9399457
But if you didn't roll, would you get to show use your sweet ring?

>>9399566

It would be the case if we didn't care for alchemy. But we're students of the craft too, and have a fair bit to teach her I believe, even if it's just regaling her about how alchemy saved our asses a lot.

>>9399571
>She hurriedly rips down a couple of the pinned notes, and puts them into a draw.

SOMEBODY WAS MAKING A LOVE POTION

rolled 13 = 13

>>9399571
with our suped up magic ring

rolled 15 = 15

>>9399571

Rolling with romance ring.

rolled 11 = 11

using ring for +2

rolled 6 = 6

Whoopwhoopwhoop

>>9399602

Good enough!

>>9399602
not a bard, but there were worse retellings

The best thing about being a dragonslayer is that you're a dragonslayer.

Let's exchange our ALCHEMY! secrets

>>9399597
I LIKE WHERE THAT'S GOING

>>9399597

Watch out for her trying to get at our DNA! SHENANIGANS!

>>9399457
>>9399643
15. You can tell she is impressed with your martial prowess, and also with your usage of the corrosive pouches. The conversation moves back to alchemy, her suggesting you try adding the sap of lawyers cane or the bristles from wyrmgrass to enhance your corrosive pouches with some natural irritants.

>>9399670
>adding the sap of lawyers cane or the bristles from wyrmgrass to enhance your corrosive pouches with some natural irritants

Mental note to do that now on.


You didn't write how she responded to gifts

>>9399682
She responded gladly, her face lighting up as you told her what each gift was.

You'll need to gather them, you remember some lawyers cane being in the swamp, not sure about wyrmgrass.

>>9399670
LOL LOL LOL, LAWYERS

>>9399670

Ask her how her own studies are coming along. We are of course fishing for whatever she was working on, but as true gentlemen we never ever acknowledge that we saw her hurriedly pulling her papers out of sight.

>>9399710
Ask her if we could court her.

>>9399710
we will have to put aside a plot of land at some point to use for alchemical plants

>>9399724
>DERRRRRP

>>9399717
this

>>9399737

Let's just have our resident plant guy handle all that. He probably also knows where to find Wyrmgrass if it's available in our fief.

>>9399764
or he will know about some other available 'natural irritant'

>>9399715
Lawyers cane is an actual plant. We get in in Queensland, it's a bastard. It's barbs on barbs on barbs, and even the tiniest scratches flare up like no tomorrow. The smallest barbs are barely hairs, and they cover the thing. They're tough as all get out, and everything catches on them.

>>9399717
Oh! I've been working on a few things. Mainly testing how certain mushrooms and their essences can effect a potion. I've been having interesting effects with Carp Mushrooms, they tend to have a slowing effect on a reaction, without disturbing the potency.

Did you explain how the alchemy set works?

>>9399782
SHES BEEN USING IT ON THE GUY, WHATS HIS FACE, THE GUARD

Haha, call her on it

>>9399782
She used the potion on James!

>>9399782

"Interesting, what practical applications have you found for it? Can it be used to slow poisons?"

Seems like she was working on the rash inducing ointment that she used on an unsuspecting suitor earlier.

>>9399817
The chaperone? James you mean?

Second?

>>9399817
>look at James and raise an eyebrow meaningfully
fix'd

>>9399817
>>9399824

Nah, I think that was because James was either lying through his teeth or picks and chooses what reveals to us very carefully.

>>9399831
We need to >imply it. Like >>9399848

>>9399831

I dunno, I don't see it fitting. Vote against.

>>9399867
>>9399848
>>9399831
Agreed

>imply it like a smooth motherfucker

>>9399815
She knows how to work an alchemy kit, but you ran her through some of the specifics of this one.

>>9399830
Indeed, if the poison is alchemical in nature. I haven't tested this with anything lethal yet, only rashes, painkillers, and more importantly chemical reactions. It allows me to observe what's occurring, without overly effecting the ingredients or quantities involved in a reaction.

>>9399861
or she used a slow acting sleep potion
she did say she was expecting us later

>>9399876
"I'm impressed, just talking to you makes me realize how much I still have to learn. You are quite remarkable." (lets compliment her intelligence a bit)

>>9399878
Are you implying she planned to drug us then rape us in our sleep?

Ask if we can study further alchemy with her later, and have access to the scrolls that they have here.

For now, how about we head out to the fair grounds and look for some fun to be had with Sarah.

Unless anon has stuff they still want to do here.

>>9399913
no, just get James out of the way.

>>9399913
I believe he was implying that she drugged him with the intention of giving us consensual dickings later.

Not that I think that's likely.

>>9399913

>inb4 can't rape the willing

>>9399848
As she mentions slowing reactions you raise an eyebrow and glance at James. However this goes seemingly unnoticed, as she continues talking about some discoveries she's made lately.
Make an alchemical test on a d14 to see how much you pick up, and how well you reply.

>>9399923
Would these dickings be . . . hot?

>>9399920
>have access to the scrolls that they have here.
did it last time

rolled 13 = 13

>>9399938

rolled 6 = 6

>>9399938
Wanting low?

>>9399953
I hope high.

>>9399952
atleast it's not a crit fail

>>9399951
Did we get to read over those? I remember that they'd gone missing when we went to the library.

>>9399952

Hopefully we won't look like a retard.

>>9399965
I thought we read them later, or am I wrong?

>>9399952

sweet :D

>>9399999
I can't recall. Nice almost get too.

>>9399952
Wanting low. Ouch.
You miss most of what she says, but your ignorance isn't noticed as she continues talking about alchemical this and that's. James steps in and announces that it will be dinner soon, and that you both should prepare for dinner, hinting at the sulphuric odours both you and Sarah seemed oblivious to.

>>9400003
in alchemy rolls you usually want low

>>9399999
I'm checking now to be honest.

>>9399952
This is why we have a Team Alchemy.

>>9400013

Son of a bitch!

Let's get ready for dinner then. And here's to not making fools of ourselves in front of the whole family... again.

>>9400047
:(

I guess I'm team every other roll, I.E., every roll that matters.

>>9399912
I say we should say this in this situation, we seem more humble, and covers up any confusion we might have had while she talked and compliment her to boot.

>>9400048
NO DRINKING!

Thread is autosaging by the way. Like really, really autosaging.

>>9400013
low? awww D:


Let's get ready then.

Sitting down to dinner with the Sheffs, the conversation is rather bland, more to do with prices and merchantry then anything else. And the meal is smaller then last time. Lady Sheff apologises, "We would have had something more fitting for guests, but we didn't expect you until the morrow.

>>9400149
"It's really no trouble at all. The pleasure of being in the company of your fine household is more than enough.

Also, Lady Sheff, I believe we are autosaging."

>>9400120
Going to stick it out until we head to bed for the evening, then I might head off myself.

>>9400149
"It's no matter if the meal is big or small, as long as it is prepared with dedication it will always be a feast."

>>9400149
assure him its no problem, its not the food that matters but who you eat it with

Compliment on the food. Who know many Lady Sheff made some of it like last time

>>9400174
>>9400194
>>9400185
You praise the meal, and assure them that it is not a worry. Conversation about the coming merchants festival resumes, and you are asked what you intend to buy at this festival.

"Whatever my people most need."

>>9400232
>>9400232
>>9400232
Acting like a kind and noble lord

LIKE A BOSS

>>9400226
"I was actually hoping the festival would lure some skilled artisans that I could hire on to come work back at my keep."

Also mention we need to hire a smith and an architect

>>9400226
at the moment i am looking to hire more than buy. hopefully an archatect to help with improving my keep and a few other things. as well as a blacksmith to make weapons and armor, the swamps on my lands are supriseingly populated and i am hopeing to recover and drain some of the swampland

>>9400280
Didn't our dwarf find anyone?

>>9400296
Urist apparently found some neat stuff for us that he thought we might like to purchase but we opted to keep it a surprise.

>>9400308
oh well, we will see tomorrow

>>9400232
>>9400240
You mention that your interests for purchases are largely for the well-being of your estate, namely the people who are your estate. I also wish to add a few to their number, particularly a smith and an architect. However skilled workers of all kinds are somewhat in demand, not having any up there, or a city with a large enough guild/merchant presence that I can find and hire who I need when I need.

>>9400336
Ok, and?

>>9400437
And it's almost 4am.

>>9400336
>>9400437
This isn't met with any particular emotion, and conversation soon moves on. Sheff notes that Lynald will be here for the Merchants gathering, however Arkem is inland some, attending to other matters. "Since we didn't get to go hunting in March, nor catch up together, I thought that this week at some stage might be a a good time."

>>9400497
"IF ITS A FIGHT YOU WANT, IT'S A FIGHT YOU'LL GET! WINNER DECIDES WHETHER I MARRY YOUR DAUGHTER OR NOT!"

>>9400543
Bad troll.

>>9400497
If that was an invitation to go hunting then gladly accept it. Make a mental note to peruse the merchant gathering later and look around for some interesting trinkets or supplies we could use.

Side question: Will the next session be tomorrow, next week, or perhaps another weekday session?

>>9400497
"It would be splendid, but with my luck we will end up fighting a manticore, he he"

>>9400559
Might be tomorrow evening, if not it will be the weekend most likely. Can't let uni work get away from me again.

>>9400564
Laughing, Sheff agrees, "I think a chimera would be more appropriate, we can each take with us a head. The serpent head to go with your wyrm, the lion head for lynald, and I shall have to make do with the head of the goat. But enough talk for tonight. I am sure to be up early tomorrow, and I take it you will want to be woken at the dawn bell also?"

And I think with that I better head off to bed myself. Almost 4am here.

>>9400564
this! do it!

>>9400644
"That sounds fine."

Goodnight QL, hope to see you tomorrow.

>>9400644
"Of course. You'll find me eager and waiting."

Night QL.

Good night , DM

>>9400667
>>9400681
