[Sat May 01 21:01:27 CDT 1999]

[GM]: I will go over the background again .....
[Jason]: Thanks.
[OOGecko]: k
[OOGecko]: ALMOST
[OOGecko]: done
[OOGecko]: lol
[GM]: Okay, this game takes place in the land of Methor.
[GM]: In the land of Methor there exists about every fantasy race that you remember....
[GM]: The Humans, Elves, and Dwarves have the three biggest empires....
[GM]: ....and the oldest.
[OOGecko]: k
[OOGecko]: char is redy
[OOGecko]: with money 2 spare
[GM]: There is a bond between these races, even.
[diz]: not
OOGecko has 1102 GP left =)
OOGecko yawns
[GM]: The land came out of a great darkness about 1100 years ago..... called Misbane by the Elves ....The Great Winter by humans.
[GM]: The Elves proclaimed a new era of wisdom called Pendular ....
[GM]: ...Scrolls of Wisdom were found and the church was established.
[GM]: To make a long story short (or even longer OOG)
[OOGecko]: lol
[OOGecko]: next time save the story to a file and just load it up
[OOGecko]: =)
[GM]: There are 2 groups that hold power in Methor .... at least in the eyes of the humans who control the biggest part of it.....
[GM]: The King ... and the Church.
[OOGecko]: eyy Rubix
[GM]: The King is king by divine right .... but is not much more than a figurehead anymore ... but he does still hold great power.
[OOGecko]: i will BE BACK IN 5 MINUTES K?!
[OOGecko]: DO NOT START WITHOUT ME
[GM]: ok OOG>
[OOGecko]: I SWEAR I WILL B BACK
[OOGecko]: DONT START WITHOUT ME
[Jason]: Relax, OOG.
[OOGecko]: k
[OOGecko]: but
[OOGecko]: i already missed 1 session last night
[OOGecko]: so
[OOGecko]: dont lemme miss this
[GM]: i don't think OOG will mind me finishing the background.
[OOGecko]: PROMISE ILL B BACK
[ OOGecko left the game ]
[GM]: The King rules with his network of Knights..... they Police the kingdom as representatives of the king.
[GM]: The clerics also represent the power that is the church.
[GM]: But what really rules the land of Methor is knowledge.....
[GM]: Knowledge is very important .....everyone is educated.
[GM]: Some may say that the Colleges of Wisdom hold power in the land.
[GM]: They were formed in the early days of the era of Pendular with the discovery of ancients scrolls of magical wisdom.
[GM]: This is a land in a sort of renisancee (sp?)
[GM]: You will find what may seem inconsistencies in Technology .....
[GM]: Magic influences everything and is the science of this world.
[GM]: Magic is used in construction of the buildings.... everything.
[GM]: It is a normal mana area and all may learns spells.... but some spells can only be learned by those with Magery.
[GM]: Clerics use a different sort of magic, of course......
[GM]: Their power is by power investiture ....from the Church or from Ral ... whichever you believe.
[Jason]: Oh, wait, if the TL is above 5, I have 10 more points to spend - I bought Literacy.
[GM]: They can cast similar spells to those taught at the Colleges of Wisdom: College of Fire, college of Animal, etc.
[GM]: TL=3 sorry.
[GM]: No gunpowder.
[Jason]: Ah...so Literacy is still an Advantage?
[GM]: No it is not.
[Jason]: Okay.
[GM]: This is a highly educated society..... but held back in some ways.
[GM]: Who needs gunpowder when it is so easy to build a similar weapon with magic?
[GM]: Okay, you can consider this a TL=4 Campaign but with restrictions.
[GM]: ....or a TL3 with additions.
[GM]: ;-}
[GM]: Okay, we are going to start tonight in one of the major cities of the human empire.
[GM]: It is very similar to London before the industrial revolution.
[GM]: It is large ... dirty .... all the usual big city stuff.
[ OOGecko joined the game ]
[OOGecko]: AHEM!
[OOGecko]: u started without me!
[OOGecko]: =(
[GM]: I just kept talking .... but we didn't start.
[OOGecko]:
[OOGecko]: so
[OOGecko]: whats this about big dirty city stuff?
[OOGecko]: u were describing something
[GM]: Any question from anyone before we start???
[OOGecko]: nope
[OOGecko]: les gogogo
OOGecko yawns
[Thor]: nope
[GM]: Okay, the empire that I described has lately been threatened by armies of Orcs in the north
OOGecko yawns, (heard this alredy) hehe no offense Rubic
[OOGecko]: er
[OOGecko]: rubix
[GM]: The Dwarves have kept them at bay for the most part.
[GM]: How did you hear this OOG?
[OOGecko]: u sed it b4
(OOGecko whispered to GM): what about miridine?
[GM]: We are still missing 2 ....Miridine and MikeL who said they would be late.
[OOGecko]: k
[OOGecko]: we can catch up with them later in the tavern or something
[OOGecko]: just make sure nothing important happens
[OOGecko]: k?
[GM]: As I was saying, you are in the largest city in the human empire
[ Attila joined the game ]
Penrith hangs out picking up rumors, stories and stuff, while he tries to get a good gig.
[GM]: It's name is Shevandale .... it is like a London before the industrial revolution......and magic is the science here.
[GM]: We all find our self in a pub.
OOGecko looks around 4 the farmers market/bazaar
[diz]: I'm not there yet,rub
[OOGecko]: eyy penrith, whats the news on the street?
OOGecko rolls his eyes
[GM]: Okay, we are drinking in the pub ..... if you need to do something before that let me know by whispering it to me.
[OOGecko]: k
[GM]: Also, get ready to describe yourself and give a background to the rest of the party.
[OOGecko]: mmk
[GM]: OOG: Sorry if this all sounds familiar. ;-}
[Penrith]: "Prices up. Knights breaking heads. Kids mouthing off to their parents."
[OOGecko]: np
[OOGecko]: relly penrith? im not suprised
[GM]: Exactly Penrith!~
[Penrith]: "In other words, the same old same old."
[OOGecko]: hmm nothing new ever happens here
[Penrith]: (Is your character's name really OOGecko?)
[OOGecko]: hmm
[OOGecko]: i guess ill change it
Dack yawns
[Dack]: better?
[Dack]: dack, first thing i cold come up with
[Dack]: lol
[GM]: Okay who is in the pub?
[Penrith]: (It helps.)
Dack is in the pub
Dack is OOGecko btw
[Dack]: lol duh
[GM]: I figured that out OOG.
Dack actually thought 4 a sec that he confused rubix
Penrith is in the pub swapping rumors with patrons - as a bard with a good reputation, he is a valued source of information.
Dack sits there casually sipping some ale and looking at the entertainers dancing on the streets
[GM]: Who is not at the pub?
[Dack]: who here is a fighter fighter?
[diz]: diz
[Penrith]: "Why, you looking for a legbreaker?"
[ Attila left the game ]
[Dack]: no
[Dack]: lol
[Penrith]: "Well, why, then?"
[Dack]: i was just wondering
[Penrith]: (Or was that an OOC comment?)
[Barkeep]: Hey, fella .... you ready for another drink?
Barkeep looks at Dack.
[Dack]: yes it ws penrith
[Dack]: lol
Dack decides 2 whisper now
Dack says to the barkeeper nah, i think im fine
[Penrith]: (Can you put OOC comments in parenthesis, or make it clear somehow, so I don't accidentally reply IC like I did?)
Barkeep starts cleaning some mugs.
[Penrith]: (Whispering is cool, too. ;)
[Dack]: (sure)
[Barkeep]: OOC: Yes, please everyone use OOC when you are speaking out of character.
[Penrith]: (Thanks.)
Thor wanders inside and over to a table
[Dack]: (penrith , u dont own ANYTHING?)
[Dack]: (er, jason)
Barkeep looks at Thor, "Name yur poison!"
[Thor]: "Ale's fine"
Dack waves to thor
[Penrith]: (I didn't bother buying anything or messing with money at all - I wasn't here when Rubix did it. Penrith has a sword, a horse, and the usual bardly/dramatist implements.)
Dack calls thor over to his table
Barkeep hands Thor a full mug of ale from the tap.
[Dack]: (k, i got my stuff and 1102 gp left!! )
[Penrith]: (Bully for you. ;)
[Barkeep]: OOC: I just had the guys buy their own stuff .... what do you need?
[Dack]: (huh?)
[Penrith]: (Just what I said above. I'll mess with it when I get a chance.)
[Dack]: (k)
[Dack]: eyy penrith how bout playing us a tune?
[Penrith]: (Sword, horse, bardly/dramatist stuff. Like a mandolin, some theatrical make-up, a few costumes.)
[Thor]: ((Wishing I had more money to spend, but background is based around low money))
[Dack]: ( lol thor, i wonder if i should get a horse)
[Thor]: ((Needs another 200 for crossbow and ammo))
Fancily Dressed Guy begins to sing ..... la la la ....burp.
Thor drinks his ale
Fancily Dressed Guy sits down at a table alone .... and continues to talk loudly to himself.
[Penrith]: "Ah, but I can't play a tune without the right rhythm...that jingling sound that all bards crave to hear and hear so rarely...how does it go?"
[Fancily Dressed Guy]: You just had to go and do it ... didn't you!
[Fancily Dressed Guy]: This damn town .... stinking lowlifes!
Penrith jingles the coins in the purse at his belt. "Ah, yes, that's how it goes!" He grins at Dack. "What say you, sir?"
[Dack]: what penrith? not even a dance for your old pal?
[ mojolo joined the game ]
[Janus Ae'Shanea]: hey
Fancily Dressed Guy moves over to the Fancily dressed guy.
[Dack]: (eyy GM, how much would u want 4 a horse?)
[Janus Ae'Shanea]: can someone tell me how u play gurps?
Barkeep moves over to ....
[Barkeep]: ....Fancily dressed guy.
Dack tosses penrith a coin and says, dance bard dance!
[Barkeep]: Sir, you have to keep it down....
(Dack whispered to Barkeep): let him watch
[Penrith]: "A dance, certainly, or a song, or a dramatic story, but all require that same rhythm...*jingle jingle*...come, come, even a single coin has music in it, if one comes from each person..." He looks around with a broad grin.
[Barkeep]: .....perhaps you should take a room ....
[FDGuy]: ...
[FDGuy]: Ah shut up ..... you stink too.
Dack hey bard! i gave you some money, all i wanted was a tune so why dont you play?
[GM]: The Barkeep moves back behind the bar.
[GM]: He looks at Dack and grins.
[GM]: That bard dont sing.
Penrith takes the coin. "It's a start, it's a start, but the tune will be short indeed..." he says, looking to the other guests nearby. "Shall you make it longer? I have a fine tune from the Northlands, new to the city..."
[Dack]: hey barkeep, slide me another bottle o' brew
[ mojolo left the game ]
Dack waits for the barkeep to bring him his ale
(Dack whispered to GM): ahem
[GM]: The Barkeep reaches for a clean mug fills it and delives it to Dack .... without spilling a drop.
Thor glances around
Dack looks at penrith and grins, splashes the ale all over penrith's face and drinks the rest
[Dack]: ahh so much more satisfying....
[GM]: The Fancy Dressed Guy just puts his head down on the table and passes out.
Dack walks over to the fancy dressed guy and looks at him, especially what hes carrying with him
[GM]: At this point, a knight enteres the bar.
Penrith splutters. "You stinking, cheap, drunkard." he says, giving him his coin back.
Thor gets up and wanders over to Penrith "What's going on over here?"
Dack laughs "ahh its all fun and games penrith one like yourself should b able to tell the difference
[Dack]: "
Dack grabs the coin and tosses it to the barkeep
(GM whispered to Dack): The Fancy dressed guy has on high quality leather armor with a purple cap that has gold embrodery. He is carring a rapier.
(Dack whispered to GM): hmmm
[GM]: The knight move over to the Fancy dressed guy.
Dack carefully inspects the passed out man and says to the knight "what happened to him?:
[Dack]: :="
[ MikeL joined the game ]
Penrith wipes his face off on his sleeve. "This gentleman pretended he wanted a song, then tossed ale in my face while I was asking the rest of the guests what they would like to hear."
[GM]: The knight speaks loudly to him.... sire ... sire? .... We must go now.
[Penrith]: "If it was a joke, it was a poor one, sir." he says, somewhat petulantly.
Dack offers penrith a chair, "how bout some ale? ya know, to show no hard feelings"
[GM]: Knight: to Dack:I might ask you what happened to him.
Thor takes his mug and tosses the rest of his ale in Dack's face
Dack spits it out and laughs hartilly
[GM]: Barkeep looks at Dack grimly.
[GM]: Sir Knight .... I think we have a troublemaker here.
Penrith sits down in the chair gingerly, then laughs a little at Thor's antics. "Now that's a story to tell." he says with a grin.
Dack says to the knight, whatever do you mean good knight? surely you dont think / did anything to this man?
[GM]: The knight looks at Dack.
Thor nods
[Thor]: OOC: Just playing the character properly.. Impulsive and Nosy
[Dack]: OOC: lol
[GM]: Barkeep: He did nothing to him (pauses) sir knight ....
[GM]: Knight: Turns back to the Fancy Dressed man.
Dack listen to this mans word, why would he lie to such high athority and risk himself if he wasnt speaking the truth?
(GM whispered to MikeL): You ready to join us?
[Dack]: OOC: gotta get the /he out of my head lol
(GM whispered to MikeL): We're in a pub... just started really ...come in when your ready.
(MikeL whispered to GM): I need to write in my character
(Dack whispered to GM): u think they're gonna show?
(GM whispered to Dack): MikeL is here now.
Penrith looks to the knight. "Has something happened?" he says.
(Dack whispered to GM): i know, what about miridine?
(MikeL whispered to GM): do I use the blank sheet in my workbench?
(GM whispered to Dack): ???
(Dack whispered to GM): is she coming?
(GM whispered to MikeL): Have you made a character?
(GM whispered to Dack): Miridine is a he.
(GM whispered to Dack): .... he said he would try.
(Dack whispered to GM): relly who woulda known
Thor suddenly falls on the floor
(Dack whispered to GM): lol
(MikeL whispered to GM): The Faun Music-Mage and a human Boryguard / Scout
(Dack whispered to GM): never EVER thought id here those words
[GM]: Knight: looks in Thors direction ... what's wrong with him?
Dack looks over to thor "damn termits eh?"
(GM whispered to MikeL): Either one .... join when you like.
Dack turns his head back to the knight, "all i saw was this man come in, look around and fall to the ground like a ROCK!"
(MikeL whispered to GM): Thanks
[Braxicus]: ready
Thor gets back up after a few minutes, walking a bit unsteadily
[GM]: Knight: Shakes his head .... then looks at Penrith ... You ... would you help me with him?
(GM whispered to MikeL): The faun?
Dack guides thor to a chair against the wall "whats with u man?"
Penrith nods slightly. "Sure." he says uncertainly.
[Thor]: "Eh? I'll be okay.."
Dack holding thors chair steady" yer not epileptic are you?"
Braxicus walks in
[GM]: Knight to Penrith ...... I need your help .... please.
[Thor]: OOC: It soon becomes apparent that Thor's fall was due to the drinks..
Dack waves to braxicus and motions him towards the table
[Dack]: OOC
(GM whispered to MikeL): The faun or the scout?
Braxicus wlks over
[Dack]: OOC: lol
GM waits for Penrith to respond.
[GM]: Knight waits.
Penrith nods slightly. "Sure." he says uncertainly.
[Penrith]: (Already said that once.)
Dack asks the knight if he can help at all
[GM]: We need to get him .(looks at the fancy dressed man).... out of here. ......
[Braxicus]: help with what?
Dack asks the knight if he needs his assistance
[GM]: Knight: looks at Dack.
[Dack]: well sir knight?
[Penrith]: "Surely we can carry him to a carriage, if one is available..."
[GM]: Knight: Thanks .... please help me get him out of here.
Dack hoists him up into his arms
Thor heads over to the others
[Dack]: sir knight, do you have a carriage waiting?
[GM]: Knight: I must arrange for a carraige ..... calls for Barkeep,"Come here"
Braxicus lifts himover his shoulder, "which way?"
Penrith helps, slipping a skinny arm around the fine dressed man and balancing him, though Dack bears most of the weight.
[ Jack left the game ]
[GM]: Barkeep: Yes sir knight?
[GM]: Knight: Do you have a spare room?
[Dack]: OOC: jack?
[GM]: OOC: What happened to jack?
[Dack]: OOC: WHO was jack?
[Braxicus]: ?
[Dack]: OOC: thor?
[Braxicus]: OOC looks like
[GM]: OOC: jack=thor
[Dack]: OOC: k, back 2 the game i guess
[ Jack joined the game ]
[Dack]: OOC: wb jack
[Dack]: OOC: mike, u didnt lock it did u?
[GM]: Barkeep: motions towards the stairs, "I'll show you to our best room, sir knight"
[Thor]: OOC: I'm back
Dack steadily walks up the stairs following the barkeep
(MikeL whispered to GM): How do I work the char sheet? Every time I try to save a section I lose it.
[GM]: Knight: Let's get him to the room.... he looks at Braxicus suspicously.
Dack drops the man on a cot in the bedroom and does a diagnosis of him
[Dack]: OOC: ahem mistah gm, roll?
(GM whispered to MikeL): Pick one of the two and copy it.
[Braxicus]: never seen a dwarf before?
(MikeL whispered to GM): Do I have to leave and do it then come back?
[Dack]: OOC: crap, froze
(GM whispered to MikeL): NOt unless you prefer it that way.
[ OOGecko left the game ]
[GM]: OOC: Anyone having lag or freezing problems?
[Braxicus]: never seen a dwarf before?
[Penrith]: (I'm okay.)
[Braxicus]: yes
[ OOGecko joined the game ]
Penrith opens the door for Braxicus, since his help in carrying clearly isn't needed.
[Thor]: OOC: I'm fine for now, but if I lag out again I will be unable to return
[Dack]: OOC: me 2 prolly
[GM]: OOC: Should we stop and start another room .... my memory is probbly getting full.
[Dack]: OOC: ill say
[Dack]: OOC: but first, diagnosis roll...
[GM]: Everyone save ... and well start a new room.
DICE for Dack: (3d6-8) : 3d6=1,6,3 = [ 2 ]
Dack suceeds in his diagnosis roll!
[Dack]: OOC:
[Dack]: OOC: oops
(GM whispered to Dack): I would say so!
(Dack whispered to GM): what do i learn of the patient?
(GM whispered to Dack): Diagnosing The fancy dressed guy I guess.
[Penrith]: Okay.
[Penrith]: You should also unload the GURPS 101 and spare character sheet, too.
(Dack whispered to GM): well i sucessfully diagnosed him, what do i find out? what and why is he the way he is?
(MikeL whispered to GM): I'll exit to the tutorial, do the sheet then rejoin. The character name is Jackdaw would it be too confusing to use it when I come back?
(GM whispered to Dack): He is totally blasted .... stinks of liquor .... other than that he is okay.
(Dack whispered to GM): k
(GM whispered to MikeL): NOt at all ... Jackdaw.
[GM]: OOC: Everyone saved?
(MikeL whispered to GM): Bye for a few
Dack ,upon diagnosing him decides that it is nothing more than a wholelotta liquor
[Dack]: OOC: yup
[Penrith]: Yep.
[ MikeL left the game ]
[GM]: Adious!
[Dack]: cya in a sec!
[ diztress left the game ]

Dack tips his head to the knight and begins walking downstairs back to the tavern
[Braxicus]: OOC sure
[Rubix]: OOC: Who was carrying the man?
[Dack]: OOC:Brax
[Rubix]: Knight follows the Barkeep to a door at the top of the stairs.
[Rubix]: Knight opens the door after the BK motions towards it.
[Rubix]: Knight looks at Brax, "This way please" ... then he looks around to see if anyone is watching.
Braxicus enters the room and drops the man on a bed
[Rubix]: Knight: Put him in there ... on the bed.
[Dack]: OOC: Rubix, the man is already on the bed and the knight was watching over him, but whatever
[Rubix]: Knight says thank you to Brax and hands him a gold soverign.
(Dack whispered to Rubix): whats a soverign?

(Rubix whispered to Braxicus): $20
DICE for Braxicus: (3d6) : 3d6=4,2,4 = [ 10 ]

DICE for Braxicus: (3d69) : 3d69=24,35,15 = [ 74 ]
[Braxicus]: 9
(Rubix whispered to Braxicus): sorry
Dack walks up the stairs and looks into the room
[Rubix]: Okay, so the knight shuts the door and the barkeep and everyone returns to the bar.
[Rubix]: As the knight was shutting the door he sees Dack looking in.
[Rubix]: He says, Excuse me .... and hands Dack a Gold Soverign $20
Braxicus gives the gold to the BK a room and a drink
(Dack whispered to Rubix): whats a soverign?
(Rubix whispered to Dack): $20
(Dack whispered to Rubix): a ticket?

Dack stands up and looks at jack and brax, i say we go do something!!
[Braxicus]: kill something/one?

[Rubix]: Barekeep:Sir (to Dack) you will have no problem finding a mage or priest in this town.
[Dack]: thats your problem brax, your too quick to draw the axe, im sure we can find some entertainment in this fair city

Dack waits for brax to move so he can get in the next room
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): Jackdaw makes a mental note to come back. This would be a good place to spend the night and get some free meals
[GM]: There was another door to the left at the bottom of the stair the old woman enters it. There is a door at the top of the stairs with a picture of a burning torch on it.

Jackdaw looks around curiously
Dack looks around at the inside of the room and its contents
[GM]: Inside you see a modest size room with a desk on the other side and a man dressed in a robe writing in a book.
Braxicus loks for toys,weapons,artwork
Dack walks over to the man and says, are you the mage?
Jackdaw looks for an attractive secretary
[GM]: There is a picture of a torch in a tapestry about the desk.
[GM]: There are books along side one of the walls.
Braxicus studies it

Mage stops writing and says, "Good finally finished with that one"
[Jackdaw]: Or make pretty shinies?
[Dack]: what book?
Mage looks at Dack ..... for a price .... what did you have in mind?
Dack seems to be absorbed in the tapestry of the burning torch
Mage notices your interest in the tapestry.
Dack shakes his head, well, what kind of enchantments do you do?
[Mage]: Yes, that takes me back.
Jackdaw looks at tapestry too
[Mage]: I graduated top of my class ..... 1094 .....College of Fire, of course.
[Braxicus]: OOC afk

Dack has a big grin on his face
[Mage]: I asked you sir, what did you have in mind???
[Dack]: something that could increase the performance of my weapon
[Dack]: possibly making magic fiyah arrows?!
Dack seems rather excited
[Mage]: We mages have to specilize ..... but I am not limited by my college, you know?
Dack claps oh nonono, i want magic fiyah arrows!!!
[Braxicus]: OOC back
[Dack]: OOC wb
Jackdaw getting bored starts to play softly
[Braxicus]: OOC too much caffeine
[Mage]: Let me see if I understand you....
Dack asks the mage, rather excitedly how much magic fiyah arrows would cost, and how long it would last
[Mage]: ...is that magic fire arrows?
[Dack]: yes
[Dack]: for instance,
[Mage]: Arrows that burst into flames when they hit?
[Dack]: when you let go of the arrow it becomes a bolt of fire, or it sets its target onfire on impact
[Braxicus]: so excited over arrows?
[Dack]: something sort of like that
[Dack]: yes brax but not just ANY arrows, MAGIC FIYAH ARROWS!!!
[Braxicus]: lag test
Braxicus grunts
Mage rubs his chins and says, "hmmmm"
[Braxicus]: OOC a fat mage
Mage looks at Dack, "You're not from around here, are you?"
[Dack]: no
Dack 's eagerness is starting to fade
[Mage]: I don't normally work for those that have no references.
[Braxicus]: OOC good
[Dack]: well rusty sent me
Mage looks over the 3 very closely.
Dack tosses the mage the coin the bk gave him
Braxicus looks back
[Dack]: OOC lag test
Mage catches the coin skillfully with a fast hand.
[Dack]: Rusty the barkeep told us about you
Mage opens his hand and the coin is gone.
[Mage]: I can create for you arrows that will burst into flames on impact.
[Braxicus]: money tends to do that fast enough onits own
Dack looks over at brax, "bored perhaps? why not go check out the slaughter house next door?"
[Dack]: is there any way to make it a perminant effect, in a bow, not arrows?
[Mage]: Ah, that will take some time....
[Jackdaw]: What's a slaughter house?
[Braxicus]: somebodies got to babiesit u 2
[Braxicus]: entertainment
[Dack]: how much time?
[Jackdaw]: Any pretty girls??
Dack looks over at jack, raises his eyebrow, looks back at mage
[Braxicus]: i'm sure you can find something interesting
[Mage]: ....I would have to see the bow, first.
Dack shows the mage his elven longnow
[Mage]: ....I assume you want to enchant it.

[Mage]: ....Let me see it, please.
Dack hands the bow to the mage
[Mage]: Reaches for it.
[Braxicus]: OOC he he he
Mage takes the bow and looks it over closely.
Mage shifts it in his hand trying to gauge it's weight.
Mage runs his finger along it checking it's texture.
Mage hands it back to Dack.
Dack takes his bow, well?
[Mage]: Just a minute .....
Mage turns to the wall of books and begins looking for a particular volume.
Dack looks over around at the room and back to the tapestry
Mage finds a book and begins thumbing through it hastily.
Dack turns his head and watchs the mage
[ diztress left the game ]
[Dack]: OOC aww
[ diztress joined the game ]
[Mage]: Well, you will need a ruby....
Dack says to the mage, a ruby? how big?
[Mage]: ...I'll have to implant it into the bow.
[Dack]: OOC wb brax
Dack asks the mage how much a ruby would cost
[Mage]: The bigger the better of course.
[Mage]: Now, you want this bow to cause any arrow that is fired from it to burst into flames on contact, right?
Dack nods
Mage looks up and rubs his chin, 'variation of fireball, I would think'....
Dack looks at the mage
[Mage]: You will need a 5 carat ruby .... that will cost you $500
[Dack]: ok, how much would that cost
[Mage]: Then of course the enchantment itself .... that will take
[Dack]: eyy brax, u know some bout stones and jewelry right?
Dack wants for the mages answer

[Mage]: .....quite a bit of time.

[Dack]: how long mage?
Dack sputters, 5000?!
[Mage]: You're not going to find a better price ... not anywhere.
Dack mage, i dont have that much
[Mage]: Most mages would tell you that it will take 3 years.
[Mage]: I could do it in 6 months!
[Mage]: What a deal.
[Dack]: but mage, i dont have nearly 5500 dollars!!
[Dack]: you wouldnt take out loans would you?
[Mage]: I am a mage .... not a banker.
[Mage]: The bank is 2 streets over.
Dack looks to the mage, looks at the ground a little sad, says "well, ill see ya when i getsda cash"
[Mage]: ....but ... he looks at the 3 closely.
Jackdaw looks back
[Mage]: ....we could make a deal.....
Dack raises his head
[Mage]: Come close and listen.
Dack comes close and listens
[Mage]: There is a particlur rumor around town....
[Dack]: mmhmm
Mage moves over to a window that is covered by a shade .... he looks behind the shade and then returns.
Jackdaw goes to window and looks out shade too
[Mage]: This must not leave this room ..... I mean, no one is to know I have told you this.
Jackdaw looks back at mage
Dack listens intentively
Braxicus perks up
Jackdaw looks interested
[Mage]: There is a particular person who has lost a particular item.
[Mage]: ....let me go ahead and tell you.
[Mage]: You know have heard of Prince Gunthar?
[Jackdaw]: No
Dack is reminded of the man in the bar
[Dack]: i think i might know who he is
Braxicus starts fingring an axe
[Mage]: OOC: Prince Gunthar is third in line for the throne.
[Dack]: OOC k
[Braxicus]: OOC$$$$$$
[Jackdaw]: There's a line? Do a lot of people like the chair?
[Mage]: Rumor has it that he has lost a particular item ... a ring.
Dack considers slapping jack, but is listening to what hte mage is saying closel
[Dack]: y
[Mage]: If you could find the ring ... and bring it to me ... I would make you a bow the likes that you have never seen.
Jackdaw ties a bow in his beard
Jackdaw with a pretty red ribband
[Mage]: If you tell anyone that I told you this ... I will deny it of course.
[Mage]: It could even be considered treason.
Dack says to the mage, in a very perky voice, "i promise not to tell, and i will do my very best to find the ring!!!"
[Braxicus]: whats in it for me
[Mage]: That is my deal to you....
[Jackdaw]: Will it be fun?
[Mage]: Take it or leave it.
Dack reminds brax of his large wallet
Dack takes his offer
Braxicus smiles
[Mage]: For now, I must get back to my work ....
[Jackdaw]: Any idea where the ring got itself losted?
[Mage]: I have many documents to copy.....
Dack tips his head to the mage, walks towards the door and runs down the stairs, bolts out the door and runs as fast ashe can back to the tavern
[Mage]: When will they invent a printing machine that will copy magical scrolls.....he chuckles.
Braxicus follows slowly
Jackdaw follows Dack
Dack arrives back at the bar, panting
Dack asks the bk if the passed out man is still there
(Mage whispered to Dack): I need a HT roll.

[Dack]: is that man still here? the one that passed out earlier
[Barkeep]: Yes, the Thor guy .... he is over there on the floor.
[Dack]: no not him

Jackdaw goes over to the Thor guy and looks at him
Barkeep turns his face away ...."what do you mean"
[Barkeep]: I don't remember anyone in purple.
[Braxicus]: OOC that didn't come out right did it?
Jackdaw opens pouch looking for a purple ribband
Barkeep changes his expression to that of concern.
[Dack]: the one that passed out on the table, wearing a purple hat or something, remember the knight.me, and brax taking him upstairs?
[Dack]: is he here?
[Barkeep]: I am sorry sir ... I know not of whom you speak.

Barkeep looks at Dack, but then goes back to cleaning the mugs.
