L5 & Prisha 26-27/8/4447 In Selatine - Nightshadow Banished

Nightshadow exiled from Selatine.
Anna Bronze likes Kosvar!

ca 2/9/4447: Dr Rosa takes a couple days to go through the old records at Vex Villa, and comes up with a possibility for Bright Star, Danor Gordak & Sandro of Rallu. In the cliffs a mile or so south of Stonehell canyon, a cave at ground level leads down to a cavern network, the Otroggic Hive, once inhabited by Chaotic cultists. But the cult collapsed decades ago. It's believed their leader led a mad crusade against some other cult in Stonehell, was defeated, and his cult fell apart. Rosa suggests it might be worth checking out for treasure/cultists/random critters.

GM: 26/8/4447, a night time feast in the Hall of Lady Vex. After dark a Nerathi ship of Hara town arrived in port, chased in apparently by a Skandik longboat. The Harans, led by Anna Bronze, baby sister to Namelin Bronze, bring news of the proclamation of the new Kingdom of Nerath, with Lord Namelin Bronze of Hara as King of Nerath. Meanwhile news from Ahyf town is of a new dominion there too, ruled by Hakeem's wife Malenn, Paladin of Mitra, already called the Golden Queen.
 Jana Vex has been concerned all day since receiving a messenger raven from wise Lady Meda of Thusia - whatever the message, it seems that events are unfolding at an overwhelming pace.
Among those at Lady Vex's hall tonight are the great dwarven forge-priest Danor Gordak and the adventuring monk Sandro of Rallu.

joriandrake: Prisha is worried about Lady Vex, but following her discussion with Princes Anna she decided to wait and see how events unfold. When prisha has a moment to get away she'll look for Orph who sneaked out recently
Smon: With Princess Anna Bronze's 19-strong Nerathi contingent are the elven Ranger Kosvar of the Skandik lands, Prisha Acharya a dusky skinned priestess of some strange love goddesss (very popular in Carchimish recently!), and a Nerathi noble, Lord Don, who has wandered off to purchase large quantities of daggers from the local smithy.
joriandrake: ooc: onlookers likely notice Prisha is looing around seking someone
Smon: GM: Crossing the market square to seek out Orph, Prisha sees two Selatine guardsmen escorting two diminutive figures from the west gate - a kobold & a goblin!
joriandrake: Prisha wonders if the kobold is gold scaled
Smon: New political map - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs1DNXTud8yoEqYrkrUG5wPkw9bK9_Poy2OHfofBb5PuVNGl-vBYdagVE6PiECRvTWXhTfdaeS-4xMyEbUeQ6xaVewQ_LfjCzM2p7SnCuzs7LrrMMhCG4rcz9rpUZhgAXQsCgh4D4uG4A/s1600/4447-8+POLITICAL+MAP.jpg
Smon: Selatine - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO88brTV_9Iky8l_K7NKRlAnnvKtC2-BkjM6ZIjL9eL_YNxGykp19snnISVoLqMCcz64_5cFrl-Y5SrDFnEnrxfDEDFg3OeBUkyB7I_9R-uk6kApTQmljjP0DREK98ewwAs9Pgn-UU_TM/s640/Selatine.png
Smon: (Not Lord Don says Bill - Lord Carmanti) No, the kobold has green belly & red scales.
Smon: Prisha hears the sound of merriment from the Scalpy Inn across the market square.
Smon: The guards escort the kobold & goblin into Vex Villa.
joriandrake: She follows the sound and assumes a certain bard also performing, Prisha looks once back at the kobold and goblin and steps into the inn
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will go and chat to Anna bronze, get to know her a bit, to reassure her he is not a Skandik spy
Smon: GM: The late meal has been going on an hour or so, when Epicaste, Lady Vex's weapon master, approaches the high table
JamesDevil: Danor will continue to disappointingly drink his weak Hummie alcohol
Sandor Sunneson: He wouldn't be in the party would he? Surely they've vetted him?
JamesDevil: Hi Keelia
Smon: Epicaste the Golden Falcon - https://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/wonder_woman_4k_8k_movie-3840x2160.jpg
DESTROYERBILL: im playing as a kobold from the trusties the kobolds that you commited mass homacide on killing 20
Keelia: hi everyone
joriandrake: ooc Not sure, Prisha basically invited you to the group
Smon: Epicaste nods to Danor, Bright Star, the guests Princess Anna Kosvar & Prisha, then speaks to Lady Vex.
Keelia: hi bill.
DESTROYERBILL: your known as the whiskered devil from kobold hell
Keelia: am i? fantastic!
DESTROYERBILL: my kobold has to make sure to not kill any more kobolds
DESTROYERBILL: you dont kill any more kobolds
joriandrake: ooc Keelia you missed a few intro posts, i will copy-paste it in PM
Smon: @Keelia >>After dark a Nerathi ship of Hara town arrived in port, chased in apparently by a Skandik longboat.

With Princess Anna Bronze's 19-strong Nerathi contingent are the elven Ranger Kosvar of the Skandik lands, Prisha Acharya a dusky skinned priestess of some strange love goddesss (very popular in Carchimish recently!)<< - Prisha has just gone outside.
Keelia: no worries
Smon: >>Epicaste nods to Danor, Bright Star, the guests Princess Anna Kosvar & Prisha<< Sorry no Prisha, she has OCD and just left.

joriandrake: ooc this works too
Smon: (please minimise PMs Jorian et al)

joriandrake: ooc I wanted to PM it to Keelia to not copy-paste it like that for everyone
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will ask Anna B if she has done much travelling in the Selaine area
Smon: Epicaste: "My Lady, emissaries have just arrived from Stonehell! They say they are Mreggle the Goblin and Rama 'the Friendly Kobold', and they are here to negotiate a peace treaty!"

Keelia: Great! Bright Star will be sitting with her companions drinking milk and listening for interesting gossip. If the ladies are worried, then she will be.
joriandrake: ooc giving dinner to my mom so it is good that Prisha is at the moment in the inn, brb
Smon: Anna to Kosvar: "Well, yes, a little bit. I visit the Shrine of St Irrig in Clear Meadows every year to light a candle there, in memory of his defeat of the Gnolla."

Smon: GM: Prisha finds Orph in the Inn, with a barmaid on his lap, strumming a fairly bawdy tune to the crowd of sailors and shepherds.

Smon: GM: Rama and Mreggle are escorted into the great hall.

Sandor Sunneson: A lovely gesture, I fear there will be more conflict coming up, I am preparing myself to fight my own people, I find it disheartening that the black sun have cast their magic upon them.
Keelia: Bright Star spots Mreggle and heads over to greet him
Smon: Mreggle looks around, awestruck. "So this is what Human lairs look like!"
Smon: Mreggle sees Bright Star approaching, and waves happily.
8:10pm  2018-2-24 jimmy Has entered the room
Smon: He also stands protectively in front of the kobold, as if slightly worried BS might kill him.
Keelia: "Greetings, Mreggle!"
Keelia: Bright Star peers at the kobold curiously. "Is this a friend?"
Smon: Mreggle: "Greetings, Bright Star! Boss Goblin and Trustee Sniv the Kobold Boss have made friends, and send us here..."
DESTROYERBILL: rama spine shivers at the sight of the whiskered devil causing the deaths of 2 dozen innocent kobold
DESTROYERBILL: s
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will go over and join Brightstar
Smon: "This is Rama the Friendly Kobold, who killed the Black Dragon of Stone Tooth - he says..." Mreggle sounds doubtful.

Keelia: Bright Star nods. "As long as he attacks no one, I believe he will be welcome," she smiles as Sandro approaches.
Keelia: *Bright Star believes (ooc - need more tea  )
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will smile in her direction and mingle happily
DESTROYERBILL: i come into the room
Smon: Kosvar, being from Carchimish, has heard the tale of how a brave kobold recently slew the dragon Nightscale that was terrorising the amazons.
DESTROYERBILL: i look like a harran noble with a large body guard
Keelia: "Friend Sandro, you remember friend Mreggle. This is Rama; he is a companion of Mreggle."
Sandor Sunneson: He'll nod in their direction and smile (Sandro)
joriandrake: ooc back, hi jimmy
JamesDevil: "Wait, did someone say Kolbold?"
Smon: GM: The Haran noble Lord Carmanti returns to the Hall, his huge bodyguard in closed helm following carrying a bag of daggers.

Keelia: Introductions done, Bright Star turns her attention towards Mreggle again. "Is there trouble that Boss has sent you?"
JamesDevil: Danor looks up from his drink and scans the room
jimmy: [hi just lurking if thats ok]
Sandor Sunneson: We are going to be doing more exploring in Stonehell too Sandro will say
JamesDevil: "pesky little buggers those things....
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar speaking to Lady Anna will ask if she is worried about the Skandik threat under the black sun
Smon: (hi Jimmy that's fine) Danor looks up from his drink, sees across the hall Bright Star with a kobold & a goblin!

Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar ' I have much faith in your brother and his allies that they will put the black sun to bed'
Keelia: Bright Star's ears twitch as Danor's voice reaches her ears. She glances over and waves at him to show there is no threat.
Smon: >>Introductions done, Bright Star turns her attention towards Mreggle again. "Is there trouble that Boss has sent you?"<<

Mreggle nods. "The Kobold boss wants you to stop killing Kobolds, so they can export Rocksblood."
JamesDevil: Danor glares suspiciously at Mreggle
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 1, (+11) = 12
Sandor Sunneson: lol
DESTROYERBILL: i use insperaition
Sandor Sunneson: Who is your boss Sandro will ask?
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 2, (+11) = 13
Smon: >>Kosvar speaking to Lady Anna will ask if she is worried about the Skandik threat under the black sun<< Anna looks at him quizzically. "Yes."
Smon: LOL


Smon: OK, who has Passive Insight (WIS+Prof) of 14+?

joriandrake: Prisha goes to Orph and kisses his cheek. "I see you enjoy youirself" She smiles "There is another audience for you if you wish to perform before the rulers of Selatine... and a certain Lady is very unhappy, so maybe youmight want to try to cheer her up." Prisha doesn't wish to disturb Orph further and leaves the decision to him. She returns to the great hall.
Smon: Danor? Bright Star?

Keelia: Bright Star frowns slightly. "Bright Star only kills when attacked." (she doesn't understand why the furless races cannot understand this!)
JamesDevil: me at 17
Keelia: I do
DESTROYERBILL: at least i have a level 7 thug body guard
Keelia: 16 for insight
Smon: Danor & BS, you see the Nerathi nobleman come in. He walks with a slight limp. He looks oddly familiar...
Smon: Perhaps he used to be an adventurer like you, until he took an....
joriandrake:
JamesDevil: o gods....
Keelia: Bright Star's ears flick back and she turns her attention to the nobleman. She snarls - "You!"
Smon: ....arrow in the knee...
JamesDevil: ooc Bad DM, that was low
DESTROYERBILL: grog
Keelia: "You gave Bright Star your word!"
DESTROYERBILL: protect me
Smon: OOC poor Bill, used Inspiration and rolled a 1 then a 2 on his Deception (Disguise) check.

joriandrake: ooc I thought Bill already rolled on disguise last session when we got into the great hall
Smon: Not vs the PCs
Smon: Who shot him
joriandrake: oh lol
DESTROYERBILL: im hear on a diplamatic mission
Keelia: Bright Star would have the added bonus of sense of smell.
Smon: yup

Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will say to Anna, if we beat them once we will have to beat them again. Their threat needs putting to bed once and for all
DESTROYERBILL: well kinda were waking up a ancient bronze dragon
Smon: roll CHA+prof Kosvar
Sandor Sunneson: OOC: Well he did try and kill Sandro too
Keelia: Bright Star snarls and draws her sword.
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 9,
Sandor Sunneson: +4=13
DESTROYERBILL: but im here to help the goblins so you stop killing the kobolds
Smon: Lady Vex and the others look over to the doorway...
JamesDevil: Danor lifts his hammer off his back
DESTROYERBILL: im trying to set up strade roots
JamesDevil: "we couldn't have waited to start fighting till i was drunk...."
Smon: Danor you are some way away at table, are you going to join BS at the door with Nightshadow?
DESTROYERBILL: including the goblins and kobolds werking together
JamesDevil: danor begins heading over next to BS
Smon: Anna Bronze: "What's going on?! That man is with me."
Keelia: "By oath breaking! No - you have not changed."
joriandrake: ooc oh sheesh, it seems either Prisha or Orph needs some good persuasion checks again
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will get his bow and arrow set up and ready to fire,
Smon: GM: Bill you need to put PC name first now as 2 PCs here

Keelia: "Does this woman know your true self? Oath Breaker, Thief, and attempted Murderer?"
DESTROYERBILL: i will set traps for the goblins give them a map of how to avoid them and not trigger them and where hey are
DESTROYERBILL: that was defending the kobolds
Smon: Lady Vex: "All of you, come over here!" Anna Bronze looks very puzzled.
DESTROYERBILL: i have changed
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will say, yes you, you tried to kill me
Keelia: "Cultist of Dark Magic?"
Smon: GM: Epicaste & Vuthrik hustle everyone over to Lady Vex's high table.
Keelia: "You said that last time just before you tried to kill Friend Sandro claiming to be changed."
Smon: Servants and soldiers look on.
DESTROYERBILL: ive made a living making more gold than ever before and im making this money onastly
Keelia: Bright Star allows herself to be ushered but does not turn her body nor attention away from NS
JamesDevil: Danor doesn't break eye contact with NS
Smon: Mreggle groans. "I knew this diplo-mantic stuff wuz bad idea!"
Sandor Sunneson: Can we get a cleric to cast a detect lie spell on him Sandro will ask?
Keelia: "Bright Star's scars show your lie of change."
DESTROYERBILL: ill take off the disguise i just put it on to avoid you people
JamesDevil: i didn't prepare ZoT unfortunatly
Smon: Anna Bronze: "This man came highly recommended by Sir Baltek, Captain of the Guard at Carchimish. Is there a problem?"
Keelia: (perhaps Lady Vex has it?)
DESTROYERBILL: ive literally never attacked you specifecly not even a scrach
Smon: OOC Anna is a young fair haired noblewoman, about 22, Nerathi (think Home Counties by local standard)
DESTROYERBILL: my blades have never had bright star blood on them
joriandrake: ooc just tell me SImon when Prisha (and maybe Orph) walk into this mess
Keelia: "Yes. This is NightShadow, Oath Breaker, Cultist, Attempted Murderer, Thief."
DESTROYERBILL: i was never a cultist
DESTROYERBILL: nor a thieth
Sandor Sunneson: S: He tried to kill me when we defended ourselves from Kobolds who attacked us
Smon: GM: Prisha roll CHA+Prof on Orph
joriandrake rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 19, (+8) = 27
Keelia: "You were in league with your evil girlfriend, who you specifically seduced the merchant away to try to turn her and possibly sacrifice her to your girlfriend. You told Bright Star this."
DESTROYERBILL: ha ha ha kobolds attacked you that blasted cats started attacking my kobold freinds long before i even knew her
Smon: Lady Vex looks sternly at Nightshadow. "These are serious allegations against you. Can you explain your actions?"
Sandor Sunneson: K: Who's your girlfriend ??
DESTROYERBILL: sacrafise kym never ive turned from that life
joriandrake: ooc I am a bit confused, is Bill and Fergus both playing two characters currently?
JamesDevil: ooc yea, this is getting confusing
Smon: Bright Star & Danor can roll INT+prof

DESTROYERBILL: we have settled in carcamesh and we have made 2700 gp from magic item sales
Sandor Sunneson: OOC: Yes K is Kosvar S Sandro
Smon: Bill put NS first to show Nightshadow talking
JamesDevil rolls 1d20-1 and gets: 9, (-1) = 8
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar Skandik ranger living between Carchamesh and Highaven,
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro Monk from Rallu
Keelia rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 20, (+3) = 23
DESTROYERBILL: the kobolds have also made heaps of money from this its a simbiotic relashinship
Smon: GM: Bright Star was talking to Trystan recently when he returned from Carchimish. Trystan said that Kym Goodkind was settled there doing very well in the magic item trade.

Keelia: Bright Star shakes her head. "You put dangerous magical weapons in the hands of cultists. You say you turned from that life but you have continually come back and caused harm here. No, Bright Star does not believe your lie."
DESTROYERBILL: NS rama get behind grog he is my big body guard
joriandrake: ooc it seems Star actually knows that to be the truth
Smon: Apparently Kym had made friends with a local alchemist & the enchantress Dark Odo, and basically cornered the magic item market due to a monopoly on Rocksblood supplies.
Keelia: (Did he? Great - Bright Star was relieved to hear that, I'm sure.)
Smon: GM: Orph happily returns to Vex Villa with Prisha - they enter to a scene of drama!
DESTROYERBILL: im even the fool for king koloth and i saved his daughter from a poisening attempted
joriandrake: "Oh my..."
DESTROYERBILL: and he sent me with sir baltek to do diplamatic stuff with lord bronze the king of the nerath kingdom the true king
Keelia: "You play your act well, but you have shown your true colours to Bright Star often."
DESTROYERBILL: mean the king bronze his hines parden my mistake
JamesDevil: Enough of this, NS has repeatly broken the law of the land, he needs to be tried and punished
joriandrake: "Can everyone please sit down and put away those weapons? We are here as friends and allies and this form of behaviour is beneath us all. Please be reasonable."
Keelia: "Bright Star knows that you played hero often here, only to turn on your companions."
JamesDevil: Danor casts Hold Person on NS
joriandrake: Prisha raises her voice as she looks around
JamesDevil: DC 15
DESTROYERBILL: on which thing
JamesDevil: on NS
JamesDevil: Wis save
DESTROYERBILL: okay
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 8, (+5) = 13
DESTROYERBILL: can you not hold person me i cant sit down now
Smon: NS is paralysed.

JamesDevil: at the end of each turn you can make another attempt to save, last 1 min or till i drop concentration
joriandrake: o_O
Smon: Vuthrik & Epicaste manacle Nightshadow.
DESTROYERBILL: grog can you put my paralised body in the chair
Sandor Sunneson: S: is prepared and ready to attack the bodyguard should he make a move
Smon: Lady Vex: "Put him in the cells."

joriandrake: "May I get to know why one of our escorts was cast that spell on?"
DESTROYERBILL: come on i changed
JamesDevil: Danor drops concentration on hold person and looks at the bodayguard
Smon: The bodyguard looks around, but clearly doesn't fancy a fight.
joriandrake: ooc Bill I don't think you can talk, you're basically like a statue I believe
Smon: Bodyguard grunts. "Boss not bad guy."
Sandor Sunneson: S: He tried to kill when we were in Stonehell
JamesDevil: not while he is paralyzed, once i dropped it he could
Smon: The bodyguard has a thick Orcish accent.
Smon: Bit like Zagaar, who recently left to go back to Bratanis village and marry his true love, Berta the Fat.
Keelia: Bright Star nods at the bodyguard's reluctance. "Along with being Oath Breaker and in a relationship with an evil cultist, doing evil works for her."
JamesDevil: *In Orcish* Danor replies "you don't know your boss very well"
Smon: Anna and the Nerathi knights with her look distinctively uncomfortable as Nightshadow is marched away by Lady Vex's retainers.

Keelia: Bright Star peers at this bodyguard, considering the voice and body to see if this, too, is someone disguised."
joriandrake: Prisha just stands there, not fully understanding what is going on and looks at Orph, then Anna
JamesDevil: Danor turns away "now what does a Dwarf need to do to get a decent drink in this place?"
Keelia: Bright Star pats Danor on the shoulder as he turns away. "Well casted, Friend."
Smon: BS looks into the closed helm, sees distinctive half orc features through the breath slit.
JamesDevil: Danor nods
Sandor Sunneson: S: Thank you, you saved my life Danor
Sandor Sunneson: He'll say cheekily
JamesDevil: you can thank me by finding a strong drink in this town
DESTROYERBILL: grog thake the 30 gp from my pouch and go pick up the equipment from the blacksmith
Smon: GM: A servant brings Danor more Ouzo.
Smon: Grog snaffles NS's money pouch as NS is marched away.
joriandrake: "Anyone care to tell me what is happening? The claim of him being a cultist is absurd, he helped a man who was accused of lycantrophy to clear himself and his girlfriends is Kym, who is by no means evil either."
JamesDevil: Danor nods as he downs the drink. "Better, but still not a hair on a good dwarfish ale"
Smon: After NS has left the Hall, Lady Jana looks to the Goblin & Kobold emissaries. "Am I right that that ...Rogue... was friends with the Kobolds of Stonehell?"
joriandrake: "Not to mention that man helped foil an assassination attempt against King Koloth of Carchimish"
DESTROYERBILL: go to the black smiths in a few hours to pick the things up rember to pay him also give him a 10 gp tip
Keelia: Bright Star smooths her fur down and turns to the Half-Orc. "Bright Star has known your kind and worked with them, half and full. Both have proved valiant companions. Bright Star wonders if you will be of a similar good character. But you do not know his past, specifically here."
Sandor Sunneson: S: You weren't there when he nearly had me killed in the caverns Princess'
Smon: The half orc grunts and shrugs. "Me not work for him long. Seem like good guy. We work for Sir Baltek in Carchimish town."
Sandor Sunneson: S: Sounds like a double agent
Keelia: "Here, he has a dark character, as Sandro points out. And still we let him live and leave but he broke his own Oath."
JamesDevil: afk a sec
DESTROYERBILL: yes but he protect us his traps killed a deadly hiyeana and he buys are goo which really helps us not get killed by the creatures down lower in the cavern by paying them
joriandrake: "Oath? What oath?" Prisha sighs and sits down at a table to hear the full story
Smon: Mreggle the Goblin nods.
Smon: Mreggle looks pretty bewildered.
Keelia: "Friend of Kobolds, perhaps, but not a friend of this town."
JamesDevil: back
Keelia: Bright Star paths Mreggle on the shoulder and waves over a servant for some food for him.
Keelia: *pats
Smon: Lady Jana looks to Bright Star and Danor. "Has Nightshadow committed any crimes for which he should pay with his life?"
DESTROYERBILL: i shout i made that oath so you wouident kill me and if i kept it me and kym would eventually run out of money we make a living from the goo
Smon: Mreggle smiles happily up at BS. A servant brings him some flatbread & olives.
Keelia: Bright Star relates their last encounter with NS, including his solemn Oath not to return to Stonehell or to gather the red goo. Kym, if she could prove that her weapons were not going to evil, would be allowed to continue, but until such time, nothing would happen.
Keelia: (Bill, you are in a cell somewhere else. You can't be heard right now  )
Smon: GM: You hear NS yelling from the corridor as he's marched downstairs to the cells.
Smon:
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Keelia: (Ah  )
joriandrake: "well, he certainly is a friend to Princess Anna, King Koloth, and since recently I believe also to Lord Bronze. We were jsut passing through, so I suggest he is just left to leave town with us. Unless as Lady Vex said, he commited some actual crime" after hearing Star's tale Prisha nods. "So, Was he in that 'Stone Hell' since he gave that promise?"
Smon: (I did give him permission due to his very very high PER)
JamesDevil: "I knew i should have prepared silence today..."
Smon: GM: NS is NOW out of earshot in the cells!
DESTROYERBILL: kym makes minor magic items and sells them to common foke like this helmet it does nothing but its cool
Keelia: She looks to Lady Jana. "He has attempted to kill Sandro and Bright Star's companions. Only Danor's magic saved him, else he would have been lost."
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro will acknowledge himself to LJ with a nod and half smile
Keelia: "He swore an Oath of that beyond StoneHell. He was not to be here," she points out. "By his own Oath. So he came disguised, lying to you and trying to deceive us."
JamesDevil: Attempting to murder someone is a pretty good rason to lock someone up and yes, possibly end their life
joriandrake: Prisha stays silent for am oment. "I know nothing of such an incident, but if you allowed him to go free then with the promise of him not to return to Stone Hell the question remains: did he return there, broke his promise?"
Smon: Lady Vex looks to Anna. "What say you?"
joriandrake: "THIS is not 'Stone Hell', this is Selatine"
Sandor Sunneson: S: Of course he wouldn't tell you that, he wants to gain your trust'
DESTROYERBILL: RAMA he never hit sandro he ran away and danors magic did nothing
DESTROYERBILL: ooc rember the doo over where i ran away instead of hitting sandro
JamesDevil: My magic never does 'nothing'
Smon: Anna Bronze: "Lord Don, as we know him, is an important person in Carchimish... We would be *most* grateful if, after a night in your cells, he were allowed to leave with us tomorrow morning. He will not return here - if he does, you are free to execute him, of course."
Keelia: "His Oath was not to put Selatine at risk, cause any harm."
Smon: >>kym makes minor magic items and sells them to common foke like this helmet it does nothing but its cool<< Rama's helmet makes his eyes glow red and scary
joriandrake: Prisha lets Princess Anna handle this from now on, she made her case considering the known information.
8:53pm  2018-2-24 DESTROYERBILL Has exited the room
Sandor Sunneson: S: If he does......how many chances does he need?
Keelia: "To come disguised rather than reach out through appropriate channels, if he had such valuable information, shows he has no respect for Selatine's rulers."
8:54pm  2018-2-24 Sandor Sunneson Has exited the room
Smon: >>She looks to Lady Jana. "He has attempted to kill Sandro and Bright Star's companions. Only Danor's magic saved him, else he would have been lost."<< Rem we retconned though, NS ran away without hitting Sandro in the end.
8:54pm  2018-2-24 Sandor Sunneson Has entered the room
joriandrake: "Or perhapps he know how some people might react, and wished to keep the peace and avoid arguments in the presence of the ruler of a town and a princess."
joriandrake: She looks at Orph for some guidance
Keelia: Bright Star shrugs. "Bright Star's concern is her friends and companions - their safety, their goals, their homes. When she sees a danger, she will not stay silent."
JamesDevil: ooc wait, when did that get recconed?
Smon: Anna nods. "Yes, when I saw his disguise, I suspected he might be a wanted person here. He is some kind of agent for the King of Carchimish, with a good reputation there."
Keelia: (It's why we did the promise for him not to return. He attacked then fled, because of something in the dice roll?)
Smon: Orph has sat at the lower tables, eating olives and watching the scene in amusement.
joriandrake: Prisha smiles at Star "That is very good, youcare for your friends. However, you jsut said earlier you allowed him to leave if he never returned to Stonehell, which he didn't, as far I understand. Selatine wasn't part of that oath"
Sandor Sunneson: S: The kobolds come from Stonehell
joriandrake: Prisha turns to Anna "He helped me catch an assassin sent against Princess Lyssana, that's for ceertain. The assassin was sent by a certain Red Priestess who prepares an attack currently with some Skandik ruler"
Smon: Lady Jana: "It seems I will need to sleep on this and make my judgement in the morning. Also, as he is a kobold-friend, discussion with their Emissary will have to wait until after my decision."
joriandrake: Then she turns to Lady Vex "Probably the ruler als of that ship's c rew"
joriandrake: also of*
Smon: Anna to Prisha: "The Red Priestess - Megaera Lorvas, who is with the Skandiks of Ossary? Hmmm..."
Smon: Anna starts to grow pale.
joriandrake: She nods "Indeed, she attempted murder agaisnt the rulers of Carchimish, and is likely also behind the curses I had to break on them"
Smon: GM OOC Do the PCs have any evidence of NS's association w the Red Priestess?
joriandrake: "... I didn't expect to find a skandik ship this far to the south, which had the sign of Black Sun on the sails"
Smon: OOC I think Bill's boasting at the Meetup got his PC in unfair trouble
Sandor Sunneson: S: Well maybe a lie test would reveal whose side he is really on
joriandrake: "The ship which chased us until Selatine, and of which we warned you Lady Vex"
Keelia: The promise is "You must never work either directly or indirectly agains us or Selatine. On pain of instant death!"
JamesDevil: give me till the morning to prepare zone of truth and i'll get the proof we need
Smon: Lady Vex nods to Danor. "Make it so."
joriandrake: Prisha nods at Star quoting the promise. "In that case there is no reason to have him locked up, as he didn't work directly or indirectly agaisnt you or Selatine since he gave that oath, as far I know"
JamesDevil: "Very well"
Keelia: (LOL - well, he should know that attacking us in the previous session is going to carry over! There are consequences. Cats hold grudges  )
JamesDevil: ooc not as long as dwarfs
Keelia: That was the final promise, in regards to Selatine.
joriandrake: ooc I like the RP, but obviously Prisha will considering her knowledge/circumstances act as his 'lawyer'
9:03pm  2018-2-24 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
DESTROYERBILL: i liked that character and parden my language your going to fucking kill him
Smon: GM: You all pass a fitful night...
Keelia: Bright Star nods to Lady Vex and goes to check on Mreggle.
joriandrake: Prisha stands up. "Well, I hope Meroya, and Mitra-Apollo will guide your choice in wisdom and benevolence. " she says to Jana and goes to Orph over
Keelia: (Oi! Mind your language!!)
JamesDevil: Danor prepares Zone of Truth
Sandor Sunneson: Calm down Bill,
9:04pm  2018-2-24 DESTROYERBILL Has exited the room
joriandrake: ooc Simon tell Bill the situation isn't that bad and Prisha helps him
Smon: Mreggle seems nervous and sticks close to BS overnight. 27/8/47 Dawn - Danor prepares Zone of Truth.
Keelia: (No need for swearing. He's not going to be put to death, but he might be banished from the city)
joriandrake: ooc true but he's a kid, he might not realize the actual limit/size of the risks here
9:06pm  2018-2-24 DESTROYERBILL Has entered the room
JamesDevil: "Are we ready to do this?"
DESTROYERBILL: im back 
Smon: The Court and the Haran delegation assemble.
DESTROYERBILL:       
Smon: Vuthrik the Last Deathwalker marches the prisoner, stripped of gear, up to the Hall for the trial.
joriandrake: ooc doN't worry Bill, I think Prisha made a good case in your defence, and you won't die even if judgement is against you
JamesDevil: Danor casts Zone of Truth
JamesDevil: DC 15 Cha save
Keelia: (Bill, no one is going to kill your character - at worst, it would be banishment but most likely things it won't even come to that, so just relax a little  )
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 8, (+8) = 16
Smon: Lady Vex: "Mistress Prisha Acharya, I give you permission to act as Advocate for this Nightshadow. You may also put his case."
JamesDevil: He resisted the effect
DESTROYERBILL: chra is 20
DESTROYERBILL: try again
Smon: GM: You can choose to fail save Bill?

Smon: LOL
joriandrake: Prisha goes and stands by the side of Princess Anna and gets Orph there as well to find inspiration for some law/detective play
DESTROYERBILL: ah well
JamesDevil: Lets try this again then, choose to fail, i don't have an unlimited number of slots to waste
Sandor Sunneson:
DESTROYERBILL: fine
Smon: GM: OK so NS voluntarily fails the save.

JamesDevil: ok, you can no longer tell a deliberate lie
DESTROYERBILL: i hate this
DESTROYERBILL: this is pointless
JamesDevil: you are aware of the spell and can avoid answering a question that you woould normally lie to
joriandrake: "Don't worry, just tell the truth, nothing else is required." Prisha smiles at NS benevolently
Smon: Everyone else you are within the 30' radius of the spell too, so either roll 2 CHA saves or no lying!
Smon: OOC Shall we assume you all voluntarily fail the save?
joriandrake: ooc not that it matters but I roll
Sandor Sunneson: Yes
JamesDevil: 15' Radius 30 diamiter
Smon: sorry yes 30' dia

joriandrake rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 5, (+4) = 9
Smon: Prisha fails
Smon: OK no lying!!
JamesDevil: What colour is the sky Prisha? try to lie
Smon: If I think you're lying I'll say you choke
DESTROYERBILL: do you hate me prisha
Sandor Sunneson: Sandro and Kosvar will automatically fail
joriandrake: wait, +4 to proficiency, stil lfailing with 13 i guess
JamesDevil: DC 15 Cha
Keelia rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 1, (+2) = 3
JamesDevil:
Sandor Sunneson: lol
Keelia: Bright Star fails - she would have chosen to anyway but I wanted to see
Smon: Lady Vex: "Danor Gordak for the prosecution, you may begin your case."
joriandrake: "It is blue, or white, or black, depends on circumstances." Prisha replies. "Then again, I thought you used the spell to ask NS questions? Not me?"
DESTROYERBILL: do you think your a good cat bright star
JamesDevil: Just testing
Smon: Danor is aware everyone has failed save or not resisted
JamesDevil: NS, do you remember the oath you gave to BS?
DESTROYERBILL: yes
JamesDevil: Have you knowingly broken that oath?
joriandrake: Prisha smiles at NS "No I don't hate you, you were helpful to me and Lyssana earlier and I've seen nothing bad done by you"
JamesDevil: Have you knowingly broken that oath?

DESTROYERBILL: i forgot but i rember now and im on a good mission
JamesDevil: Simon tried to lie i think
joriandrake: JamesDevil: NS, do you remember the oath you gave to BS? DESTROYERBILL: yes JamesDevil: Have you knowingly broken that oath? joriandrake: Prisha smiles at NS "No I don't hate you, you were helpful to me and Lyssana earlier and I've seen nothing bad done by you"
joriandrake: ooc lol
JamesDevil: what was the consequence of breaking the oath that you promised?
joriandrake: ooc? can send you the earlier chat history if you lost it Simon
Smon: (I'm here)
DESTROYERBILL: do you think it was a good idea to go on a homacidel rampage against the kobolds killing innocent kobolds
Smon: (lost nothing)
DESTROYERBILL: bright star
DESTROYERBILL: killing 23 in total
joriandrake: "Can we please focus on solving the issue, by only NS being asked?"
Smon: Lady Vex looks over at Bright Star and frowns.
JamesDevil: Using Thaumaturgy ANSWER THE QUESTION NS
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 5, (+11) = 16
Keelia: "Bright Star is not the one one trial here."
JamesDevil: what are you rolling for?
JamesDevil: you still in the zone
JamesDevil: you're*
Keelia: "And she has never killed any not in self defence."
Smon: Lady Vex looks thoughtful. "Nightshadow, did you attack them to protect the Kobolds?"
DESTROYERBILL: if you get to avoid a qeaustion i will avoid a qeastion and so forth
Keelia: If that is the case, Bright Star will leave the room so the trial can continue
DESTROYERBILL: rama says thats a lie
joriandrake: "NS, please, answer the questions, it is to help you get out of it and I believe you're innocent in this matter"
DESTROYERBILL: a big lie
Smon: >>"And she has never killed any not in self defence."<< GM: BS chokes since she did attack the first kobolds she met at level 1.
JamesDevil: I say this without lying, if you do not answer the question i will beat you to death, then bring you back over and over until you answer
joriandrake: Prisha watches the tabaxi choke
JamesDevil: the power of life and death and mine to control, SO ANSWRE THE QUESTION
joriandrake: Prisha doesn't like how this court uses threathening
Smon: Jana looks to Danor. "He has answered regards his oath-breaking."

DESTROYERBILL: those kobolds were innocent werking on the dungeon minding there own buisness one of the two dozen kobolds you masacerd was my brother
joriandrake: "...just answer the questions NS, so we can finally get you released"
joriandrake: Prisha listens to the Kobolds words
DESTROYERBILL: we kobolds only attack in self defence unlike you bright star
Smon: Jana nods to the Kobold and stands. "I have heard enough. "
DESTROYERBILL: RAMA         
Smon: Lady Vex stands. "I will deliver judgement."
JamesDevil: he has not answered the questions, he is deliberatly avoiding the questions making a mockery of your court
joriandrake: "Lady Vex I don't know for certain, but considering the delegation from the goblins and kobolds it might be a wise choice to question your tabaxi scout instead, for the peace to be upheld"
Sandor Sunneson: Are you associated with the Black Sun Sandro will shout out?
DESTROYERBILL: rama breaks into tears
Smon: Vex: "There has been war between the Adventurers and the Kobolds, including their ally Nightshadow. There may have been fault on both sides. This war must stop."
DESTROYERBILL: i refuse becouse bright star did not answer one of my qeastions does she think she is a good kitty
JamesDevil: She is not on trial YOU are
Smon: Vex: "All of you, silence!"
DESTROYERBILL: when she answers i will answer
joriandrake: Prisha shakes her head at NS to get him stop and await the judgment in silence
Smon: Jana glowers at both Danor & NS.
Keelia: (also, bill, that was a lie about attacking only in self defence. Kobolds attacked the group several times despite trying to avoid it)
DESTROYERBILL: i say nothing more
joriandrake: "No I am not" Prisha feels offended at the accusation of the other cleric
Smon: (OOC BS & co attacked kobolds first, then 2 kobold reprisal attacks on BS & co, then one meet w/out fighting, then PCs mugged kobolds for Rocksblood, then kobolds did reprisal ambush w NS)
joriandrake: She sighs, calms herself and watches what will happen
Sandor Sunneson: OOC Who cares, they are kobolds, they are like orcs, cannon fodder
Keelia: (fair enough - I should start keeping my notes again - but we tried not to kill them, we locked them in rooms instead)
Sandor Sunneson:
Smon: Jana: "Whatever the rights and wrongs, there will be peace!" She almost yells, then looks to Rama. "The old records say the kobolds have always been peaceful."
joriandrake: ooc Fergus, truth matters here, so we care about it, we basically have this whole scene/event because peopel care
Smon: Jana looks to Mreggle. "Has this changed? Have the kobolds made war upon you?" Mreggle shakes his head. "No..."
DESTROYERBILL: we have until bright star killed us so we attacked back to have this stop
Smon: Jana: "There must be no more killing of kobolds!"
DESTROYERBILL: you killed gata my brother
9:28pm  2018-2-24 jimmy Has exited the room
Sandor Sunneson: ooc: He tried to kill Sandro, a PC, the kobolds are NPCs
joriandrake: ooc: Simon said that didn't happen
Smon: (ooc thanks Fergus, STF uo)

Jana Vex looks to Rama. "I am sorry for your loss. Mitra-Apollo values all creatures. Including kobolds."
Smon: Jana looks to Nightshadow. "You are deceitful. You have committed acts of war - I cannot say if they are crimes. Do you swear by Apollo who is Mitra to live in peace with the people of Selatine for ever more?"
DESTROYERBILL: 2 dozen 2 dozen is the amount you have killed of us i would not call this a war i would call this a unjustfied murder of my perople if anyone should be on triel it should be bright star she has killed so many living thinking beaings
joriandrake: "Please NS, tell her the truth."
JamesDevil: ooc how are acts of war not considered crimes in this context?
Smon: GM: Rama said that in draconic apparently.
DESTROYERBILL: i will acept on one condison i can collect goo and come here on diplamatic missions
DESTROYERBILL: N
DESTROYERBILL: S
DESTROYERBILL: other wise me and kym will run out of money
joriandrake: "Trade is a different matter, which can be discussed later." Prisha calmy nods at NS. "Just tell her if you honestly believe that you will live in peace with Selatine"
Smon: Lady Vex shakes her head. "Nightshadow, I will return you to the Kobolds. You may dwell with them and trade with them. But you must not return here to Selatine. You have enemies here."
DESTROYERBILL: i will stay away from selatine i will only go to the goo
Keelia: (the promise was that Kym could trade if she could prove that she wasn't selling to Black Sun)
DESTROYERBILL: i swear to appolo
Keelia: (so there was never any risk of her running out of money if she could prove that)
JamesDevil: ooc Simon is NS lying?
DESTROYERBILL: if you want to know just go to carcamesh
Smon: Jana nods: "Very well. Rama, Mreggle. You..."
DESTROYERBILL: i will only come if king koloth tells me to do diplatic things with selatine
Smon: Jana smiles.
Smon: "Perhaps you could tell your King that you are not the best candidate for a mission here."
DESTROYERBILL: even if she did sell to the black sun its nothing that would help them this helmet im wearing is one of the things she maid
DESTROYERBILL: well sold
DESTROYERBILL: odo makes them
JamesDevil: ooc Bill remember that you are in the Zone of Truth
DESTROYERBILL: if you want goo ill sell it to you
joriandrake: Prisha turns to Jana "Lady Vex, I became aquinted with his girlfriend Kym. Meroya's Church can handle trade between the kobolds, Carchimish, Kym and Selatine. I believe due to circumstances it would benefit all to have us be the 'Middle man' between the involved parties, and if you accept this offer. This will enable NS and Kym their trade, the kobolds and goblins to avoid conflicts in Selatine, and improve trade, relations between Selatine and Carchimish"
Smon: Jana: "Rama of Stonehell, escort Nightshadow your human ally back to Stonehell. He must not return here. Convey the friendly greetings of Lady Jana Vex of Selatine to your own lord Trustee Sniv. We will buy Rocksblood from you at a good price."
Smon: Jana looks to Prisha. "That is a matter for the Kobolds, if they wish you to represent them."
DESTROYERBILL: i need to pick up the stuff from the black smith first unless grog did what i sed
DESTROYERBILL: can you get grog
Smon: Jana nods.
Grog is fetched.
DESTROYERBILL: he has the pouch of stuff
Smon: GM OOC: OK moving on now...
DESTROYERBILL: grog do you have the items
joriandrake: Prisha nods "As far I understood they consider NS their leader, as such the offer is extended through him, unless I'm mistaken."
Sandor Sunneson: OOC: Moving on...............
joriandrake: Prisha helps NS regain his stuff
DESTROYERBILL: NS im not there leader im there freind
Smon: NS has all his gear returned, can pick up daggers, is sent out with Grog & Rama to go to Stonehell, barred from Selatine forever.
joriandrake: Prisha nods at NS "Then consider my offer and discus it with the kobolds."
joriandrake: She bids farewell to NS atthe town's borders then retuns to Princess Anna
DESTROYERBILL: bye
JamesDevil: ooc I need to log off now, night all
9:41pm  2018-2-24 DESTROYERBILL Has exited the room
Keelia: have a good night
Sandor Sunneson: Night James, chat soon
joriandrake: ooc bye
Smon: GM: After NS Grog & Rama the kobold have left, the Nerathi also assemble to leave on their own quest.
9:41pm  2018-2-24 JamesDevil Has exited the room
Smon: Bright Star is with Lady Vex bidding the Nerathi farewell.Lady Vex looks exhausted.
Smon: OOC I get to do Lady Vex stuff at work, no fun!
Keelia: OOC - management is rarely fun unless you're a dictator / overlord
Smon: Bright Star roll Insight pls
Keelia rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 14, (+5) = 19
joriandrake: Prisha bids farewell to the Selatinians, tells Lady­ Vex to keep in touch with House Bronze and if possible coordinate a strike against the Black Sun together, use a combinedforce to cleanse that isle. Then Prisha asks Princess Anna once out of sight "Shall we continue our journey without him then?"
Smon: BS senses that Princess Anna Bronze and several of the Nerathi are extremely unhappy at losing Nightshadow, more than you might expect.
joriandrake: "... or shall I notify him to go around the town and return?"
Smon: GM: Lady Vex & co wave Princess Anna Bronze and co farewell.

Smon: Once out of earshot of Selatine, Anna turns to Prisha: "Can you catch him? We need him for our plans..."
Keelia: Bright Star mentions this unhappiness to Lady Vex absently and the additional comment she overheard about going around the town.
Smon: Lady Vex walks back towards her Hall. Inside the young Ghinoran priestess asks to meet with Bright Star in her private quarters.
joriandrake: "I can send a message, tomorrow I'll be able to regain my magic so it is not a great limitation"
Keelia: Bright Star considers and nods
joriandrake: ooc Keelia you rolled insight, and we left the town ,and you weren't there and you didn't roll perception
Smon: Anna nods. "Send to him - tell him to meet us at the gorge just east of Dyson's Delve."
Smon: OOC no Jorian she responded to her insight check result
joriandrake: Prisha nods "As you wish Princess, but I hope you see he wasn't exactly sublte, I suggest to try the diplomatic route before his way"
joriandrake: ooc: it is fine if this was correetly part of the roll (which would I assume be perception) >>Keelia: ...additional comment she overheard about going around the town.
joriandrake: Prisha sends the message to NS
Smon: Anna nods to Prisha. "Hmm... he's no diplomat. But he *is* an excellent thief. Still, I think you're right. We must give the amazons every opportunity, and surely they have no need of those plans..."
joriandrake: She smiles "Indeed. as far I know they have no shores anyway"
Smon: >>Bright Star considers and nods<< Lady Vex meets with Bright Star in her room. "What do you think of the Kobolds?"
Keelia: Bright Star tilts her head.
Smon: "They did attack you, I know. Will they live in peace now?"
Keelia: "Bright Star does not trust them. Especially with NightShadow."
Keelia: "Bright Star does not believe so, but she will stay her arrows as long as they do her and hers no harm."
Smon: Jana nods. "I don't trust him either. But you trust the goblins?"
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will say, it is important we do not upset the Amazons, in the battle against the Black Sun, they will be allies
Smon: Kosvar roll CHA+Prof
joriandrake: o.O
Keelia: "Mreggle's tribe has been afraid of them for a long time, and NightShadow's affiliation with the Black Sun is worrisome."
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 14,
Sandor Sunneson: +4=18
joriandrake: ooc damn, an actually good CHA roll for Kosvar! =)
Keelia: "The Goblins have only every helped Bright Star. They are not brave but they have never done her or hers any harm. And indeed have assisted her and hers."
Sandor Sunneson: K They fought honourably against the black sun in the last war, I did recon missions for them and the Carcameshi, both sides are important
Keelia: "This alliance between them is likely born of fear on the part of Mreggle's people."
Sandor Sunneson: OOC: Statistically it had to happen
Smon: Jana nods. "We should speak more with Mreggle. I'm not sure I understand what association Nightshadow has with the Black Sun - if it's idle boasts, or something serious. The Carchimishi seem to like him. That Karakhan priestess Prisha spoke for him. If someone could speak with Kym Goodkind about him, that might help..." Jana sighs. "My head hurts."
Smon: Jana: "I meant what I said though, about the kobolds - the old stories about Stonehell say they are snivelling cowards, not threatening, though they do set and repair traps."
Keelia: "Trystan, the Bard, said that Kym was in good health, but Bright Star knows that a captor can twist a mind without magic by easily going through the heart."
Keelia: "It would be in NightShadow's best interest to keep Kym apparently happy if he is using her as a cover."
Smon: Jana nods. "Trystan is very... perceptive. Perhaps we could get him to speak with Kym."
Keelia: "In terms of the Kobolds, that was before a Rogue became their leader."
Keelia: Bright Star considers. "Send someone with him. Trystan may lose focus with his perchance for pretty women."
Smon: Jana: "A leader... or at least influential." Jana sighs. "I wish my father's old advisers were still alive... we have lost so many people. I don't know who to turn to sometimes... Priest Gordak is a little ...short tempered."
Keelia: "Bright Star would not see Kym come to harm but she fears that the merchant is in far deeper than she thinks. A magic user, someone who can identify what magics are on weapons and such, would be very ideal."
Keelia: Bright Star laughs, softly. "Indeed he is. To rule wisely is a difficult thing; hard decisions may need to be made. But from Bright Star's opinion, you are doing well."
Smon: Jana smiles gratefully at the compliment, then nods. "Hm. Thank you. I'll think about who to send. In the meantime, please try to make friendly contact with the kobolds if possible. They are clearly angry, but they want peace I think. Convince them we don't want war. The Rocksblood is very powerful - my Vizier Mordred can use it to make powerful reagants. Get them to sell it to us - I can provide, say, 500 gold? "
Keelia: "Bright Star thinks that such as task is more suited to Mordred, despite his dislike of the species. He has been in many of the same battles as Bright Star but is not regarded with the same hatred."
Smon: >>K They fought honourably against the black sun in the last war, I did recon missions for them and the Carcameshi, both sides are important.<<

Anna Bronze nods at the elf Ranger's wise words, glances at the Knights of Nerath marching along ahead on the trail. "You're right. It was foolish to talk of fighting them. The conflict with Hakeem has everyone agitated..."
Smon: >> "Bright Star thinks that such as task is more suited to Mordred, despite his dislike of the species. He has been in many of the same battles as Bright Star but is not regarded with the same hatred."<<

Jana nods. "I agree, but I don't know if Mordred will be taking a break from his expermiments any time soon. Hmm... Perhaps I'll speak with Trystan, he seems the diplomatic type."
Keelia: "Indeed, he is. Bright Star would recommend him and a companion if there is any female involved, just to keep things on track."
Sandor Sunneson: K: There is also a link there between the Queen being the sister in law of the Queen of Ahf Maleen, though I am not sure how those 2 leaders of their people get on
joriandrake: "... I hope your knights will follow any command, including not to fight. That one of them earlier was very eager to get into a battle agaisnt amazons" Prisha remarks. "Once Nightshadow is back I will inform him that we approach this diplomatically first, and I also have some questions about that red ore everyone talks about." Prisha remembers her discussions with Kym.
Smon: Anna Bronze calls Prisha over to her and Kosvar.

joriandrake: "It might be useful against the skandik, Black Sun threat, I have some kobold allies of my own, and I already looked into how to aquire the ore. Now I know where to look for it"
Smon: >>"Indeed, he is. Bright Star would recommend him and a companion if there is any female involved, just to keep things on track."<<

Jana giggles. "Hopefully he draws the line at female kobolds!"
Keelia: "Bright Star has seen him seduce Orc. She does not think he has standards."
Keelia: "But Bright Star does not like to dwell on that."
joriandrake: Prisha plans to use her third, last message to notify Viola of the situation and prepare something
Smon: On the coast trail, Anna nods to Prisha in agreement.
Smon: >>"Bright Star has seen him seduce Orc. She does not think he has standards."
Keelia: "But Bright Star does not like to dwell on that."<<

Jana ROTFLOL
Smon: Jana wipes tears of laughter from her eyes. "Thank you Bright Star. I value your advice."
joriandrake: "We have something Princess Anna, which Selatine doesn't. Allies, friends and opportunity. I have set aside a bit of gold which with the aid of Nightshadow be useful for setting up a mutually beneficial trade between Carchimish, Stone Hell, Selatine and Hara. A priestess of mine is close friend to Kym, who also has shown some interest in Meroya's way.... perhaps this can be very useful, also to improve cooperation with Lady vex""
Sandor Sunneson: K: It is also rumoured that the pregnant lady we will see, well the father is rumoured to be Prince Sandor, he maybe a weak politician, but I would not want to have him hunting me down.
Keelia: Bright Star nods. "Bright Star is pleased to help where she can. She does what she is able to help; Selatine has become a home of sorts for her."
Sandor Sunneson: K: You are very much mistaken if you don't think Selatine has allies Prisha
Keelia: "She would not see if ruined or it's people harmed if she can prevent it."
joriandrake: "Nightshadow should also be happy of the agreement, considering his situation currently i nSelatine it is unlikely he could easily trade the orde without aid from hara and Carchimish"
Smon: >>"She would not see if ruined or it's people harmed if she can prevent it."<< Jana Vex smiles gratefully to Bright Star.
"Thank you, Bright Star of the East. May you be a bright star here, too."
Sandor Sunneson: K: Lady Vex is certainly not one to get on the wrong side of, her political skill was part of the reason we managed to form an alliance against the black sun in the last war
Smon: Anna Bronze trudges along, listening to her advisers.
joriandrake: Prisha shakes her head "I didn't mean they have no allies, I meant they don't have the same onesw like we. Carchimish is my city, I'm on the advisory council, I'M a friend to Princess lyssana, and also to Viola the alchemist, my Priestess trainee whop is friends with Kym. Some preparations were already made earlier, questions asked about the ore. It will become a boon to everyone on this continent, including Selatine if we use it to stop the invaders and the Red Priestess."
Keelia: Bright Star bows. "Should you need Bright Star, tell her how to help, and she will do so."
joriandrake: "If the ore can be used to make magic items, magic weapons then it will be highly useful against the skandiks"
Smon: Jana nods. "Thanks Bright Star. Go buy Danor Gordak a stiff drink at Scalpy's Inn - he earned it!"
Smon: Prisha roll CHA+Prof DC 9
Keelia: Bright Star grins at her and disappears out the door on silent feet.

*     *     *


Sandor Sunneson: K: and soldiers who have been trained to carry these weapons
joriandrake: ooc I have +8 to a roll
Smon: roll anyway
Sandor Sunneson: OOC: Well done BS
Sandor Sunneson:
joriandrake rolls 1d20+8 and gets: 7, (+8) = 15
Keelia: (Thanks, Ferg)
joriandrake: "The Temple of Meroya will with aid of Kym likely be a good option as the ones behind a new trade agreement and route. Only am inor cut, perhaps 5% should be enought to keep it going and the ore will be good for the new Kingdom of Nerath"
Smon: Anna nods. "Kosvar, Mistress Prisha, I agree with both of you." She looks back at Selatine in the distance, nestled on the clifftops above the Winedark sea, and sighs. "It looks so peaceful."
joriandrake: Prisha smiles. "Then let us work on it to stay that way... and let us think of how to deal with the ship we met, maybe a ósmall flotilla to join with Lady Vex to drive them from the isle?"
Smon: Anna looks at Prisha. "Only... shut up about your damn trade terms!" She grins wickedly. "We Harans *really* hate that kind of talk, don't you know?" her tone is light but with a serious undercurrent.
joriandrake: She then turns into the direction of the tower "...maybe even using our new ships at htat time"
joriandrake: Prisha giggles
Smon: Anna: "The Lighthouse cannot be approached by sea - there are deadly rocks offshore."
joriandrake: "Sorry, I just have to think of ways to get some income for the temples of Meroya to be set up
joriandrake: "I meants, using the blueprints we will aquire, the new ships can be used to cleanse that isle."
Smon: Prisha: "I can tell you're not familiar with our ways, Mistress. Be good to us nobles and you *really* won't have to worry about money."
joriandrake: o.O
joriandrake: Prisha gazes into a mirror
Smon: Anna nods. "Cleanse the island? Yes maybe... depends on how long it takes I suppose." She yawns, indicating boredom.
Smon: >>Be good to us nobles<< Prisha, you KNOW she didn't mean it like that!
joriandrake: "Well, hopefull not too long. I believe we all rather prefer to have this mission successfully finished quickly"
joriandrake: =p
joriandrake: ooc actually that was a reaction to her speaking up as 'Prisha'
Smon:  Anna nods. She turns to Kosvar. "I wanted to say Kosvar, I appreciate your advice regarding the Amazons, and I intend to follow it. We can't afford to make enemies of them. In time, I hope they will join our new Nerath."
joriandrake: Prisha now discusses our time limit with the Princess, did we lose a day due to Nightshadow?
Smon: OOC no you arrived last night, no lost time
joriandrake: ooc great
Smon: Anna: "And Kosvar you make a good point regarding Jana Vex, too. Especially as..."

joriandrake: ooc Prisha last memorized on 21st, will be able to do again on 28th as far I understand the house rule
Smon: Anna pauses dramatically for a big announcement.
Sandor Sunneson: K: They are fiercly independent,............you were going to say?
Smon: Anna: "I have just received a Sending from Priestess Livilla at Hara. Ahyf has just announced..."
joriandrake: Prisha smiles, knowing the announcement doesn't include her being in love with Jana
joriandrake: Prisha raises an eyebrow
Sandor Sunneson: A: Hakeem is dead?
Sandor Sunneson: S: even
Smon: "...That one week ago, the Exalted Exarch of Bondorr, Hakeem Godslayer, ascended to the Divine Realms. He's gone."
joriandrake: "Oh, Kosvar you were actually right. Impressive"
Smon: LOL
Smon: Anna shrugs. "Word from Queen Malenn is that before Ascending, he promised to return when his land needed him most, to smite the enemies of Altanis."
Smon: "They have quite a legend in the making, there."
Sandor Sunneson: S: Interesting, wonder where.....
joriandrake: "Ah yes, the legends of a dead king to return to protect his people. Very popular" she nods
Smon: Anna grins. "Who knows what actually happened. He might just have gone off on some barbaric bender. But for now, he's out of the picture. His old allies should now come into line under the banner of Nerath."
joriandrake: "This means the Golden Queen is sole ruler now, and also our ally by betrothal"
joriandrake: She smiles "It also means Selatine is already our ally, without them knowing yet"
Smon: Prisha nods. "It looks as if Queen Malenn definitely wants peace with us, sees her son ruling United Nerath alongside my niece Eratha. Fine by me."
Smon: Sorry Anna nods
Sandor Sunneson: S: I'm not sure what to make of this news Lady Anna, I was hoping he would be one person to defeat the King of Ossary, if you can beat a death God, you can defeat a champion King who wins dishonirably
Sandor Sunneson: S: My people have suffered enough under that Bastard
joriandrake: Prisha looks into the eyes of Anna "We might not need to lie at all at the amazons, just tell the truth, we are already allied, the blueprints benefit us all."
Sandor Sunneson: S: They must also pay for this too
Smon: Anna shrugs. "Hakeem was a mighty warrior, no doubt. But wars are won by alliances, by armies - not by heroes."
Smon: Anna looks to Prisha thoughtfully.
Sandor Sunneson: K: That is why Lady Vex is now more important than ever Anna
joriandrake: "Prisha nods at Kosvar "and if we manage to actually kill the man and the Red Priestess some skandik cities will require new leadership. One of their own ranks who knows customs and laws would be useful.... and if you gai nthe alliance, friendship of the Rangers of the Wode it will be an easy task"
Sandor Sunneson: S: Dark Magic should be used to assist in his defeat, fight fire with fire
joriandrake: Prisha smiles at Kosvar "I hope you remember the leader of the Wode Rangers is with us here"
Smon: "Prisha, it's hard for me to say this - but we Nerathi are tired. We have been at war too long. There has been too much blood, treachery and betrayal. For some of us, it seems the only way... I think we need a new perspective. Your perspective. I want you to speak with the amazons - openly. Win them to our cause. Show them that Nerath is our best hope to defeat the Skandiks, and the Black Sun."
joriandrake: Prisha bows slightly to the princess
joriandrake: "As you wish. I will try my best with open arms, benevolence, and love... also some logical reasoning, that never hurts either.
Sandor Sunneson: S: Kosvar will hug Anna once she finishes saying that, then realising what he's done..............stand back and apologise
Sandor Sunneson: Sorry Your Majesty, such beautiful words
Keelia: (But wars are won by alliances, by armies - not by heroes. -> somewhere, a Druid is stirring)
joriandrake: O_o
joriandrake: Prisha shiwpers a small prayer to Meroya to not let Kosvar be sruck by bad CHA rolls
Sandor Sunneson: The black sun are all our enemies
joriandrake: whispers
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will then keep on walking, enough has been said
joriandrake: struck* (all my coffee is gone =( )
joriandrake: "well, we have much to tell Nightshadow once he reaches us."
Smon: >>Kosvar will hug Anna once she finishes saying that, then realising what he's done..............stand back and apologise<< Roll cha check w advtg Kosvar
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 8,
joriandrake: ooc oh boy oh boy, good luck Fergus!
Sandor Sunneson: +4=12
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 20,
Sandor Sunneson: +4=24
joriandrake: WOOT
Sandor Sunneson: ha ha #
Sandor Sunneson:
Keelia: (fantastic roll!)
Smon: OOC Keelia, Kosvar got fired from his last princess bodyguard job. He rolled a 1 on the wrong CHA check w Princess Lyssana of Carchimish.
joriandrake: ooc congrats on not getting naother princess kick Kosvar out =P
Sandor Sunneson: statistically, that was always on the cards
Sandor Sunneson: followed by a 2
Smon: Anna Bronze blinks as Kosvar hugs her.
Keelia: (quick, roll again, get the 2 out of the way  )
joriandrake: ooc Kosvar may have found his future wife, if Anna lets Orph focus on Prisha
Smon: Her expression softens. "Oh, Kosvar..."
Smon: I'm seeing Hanna Barbara cartoon hearts in her eyes
Sandor Sunneson: Yes my Lady?
joriandrake: ooc I'm seeing kosvar being typically oblivious
Sandor Sunneson: Kosvar will blush a bit when the penny drops
Smon: Anna looks down, blushing. "Nothing... I.... We'll talk again later."
joriandrake: "Love on our journey... Meroya truly blessed us."
joriandrake: Prisha smiles mischievously
Sandor Sunneson: He'll go to her discreetly, I look forward to it, and smile to her
Smon: OOC Anna is wound up pretty tight these days, it's not easy being a Nerathi politician.
joriandrake: ooc true, and the mess in Selatine made her want to get relaxed by gymnastic practice more likely
Smon: Anna looks up at Prisha, glares (but happily!) and walks on towards Dyson's Delve...

OOC OK stopping there.
