[Tue Mar 21 18:30:37 CST 2000]
 
 
[GM]: RECAP: The Party leaves the apartment of Sir Petr with Sir Cornelius, returning to their
rooms at The Royal Coach Inn. It is 10pm on the 1st (Bright)Friday of Drakurah, in the Spring
of 1132p.  BEGIN SESSION 36:
[GM]: Sir C leads the party out into the streets.  He wears his usual plate and carries his 
sheild.
[GM]: Jamison follows close behind Anne, "So, shall we go directly to the Cathedral?"
[Anne]: Anne follows, carrying her backpack close, and her hand on her mace
[Anne]: "I think that might be best, Jamison."
[Anne]: Anne looks to the glorious edifice... "I think this is an errand that should not wait."
Thomas follows as well, his hands in his pockets and his eyes down.
[GM]: Sir C (overhearing) "I agree .... lead the way!"
[Thor]: "I agree, we should fulfill that mission now"
[Anne]: Anne heads towards the cathedral
[GM]: Sir C looks toward the rising spires.
[Anne]: Anne is nervous with anticipation.... 
[GM]: In about 20 minutes the party finds itself close to the Holy Cathedral.
[GM]: The tall spires appear as seperate towers at this close distance
[Anne]: Anne approaches the main gate, and knocks loudly
[GM]: The light given off by the moons reflects in the metalic blue stone of the Holy Edifice.
Anne thinks *You're almost home...* to the Sanctum Ral
[GM]: There is a gate on each side
[GM]: At one gate you find people talking.
[Anne]: "Hello?  I'm Sister Anne... I have urgent business inside...."
[GM]: There is a Cleric and an Old Woman.  The Old Woman appears to be pleading with the Cleric.
[Anne]: What is she saying?
[GM]: The Cleric waves at Sister Anne and appears to be trying to quiet the Old Lady
[Anne]: Pardon me Ma'am - I didn't mean to interrupt... Please continue."
[GM]: Everyone can hear the Old Lady speaking, "But Sir ... I must see the Lord Patrona.. it is 
urgent ... a matter of life and death"
[GM]: Old Lady (who doesnt stop at the interupence of the party) "It is my daughter, she is 
possessed and my magic will not help her"
[GM]: The Cleric listens politely.
[Anne]: "Posessed?"
[GM]: Old Lady "I have consulted every priest on the island and they say that they cannot help 
her."
[GM]: The Old Lady responds to Anne when she says the word Posessed.
[Anne]: "What is wrong?  How is she afflicted?"
[GM]: Old Lady (to Anne) "Yes, possessed. ... by an evil spirit"
[GM]: Old Lady "She is not in control of herself ... not the woman I  have known as my daughter"
[Anne]: "What is wrong?  What has she done to become different?"
[GM]: The Old Lady has stringy brown/grey hair and is missing several teeth.
[GM]: She smiles at Anne
[Anne]: Anne smiles back... Someone must help this woman, she thinks...
[GM]: Old Lady "There are the voices .... they speak from her constanly in tougnes that I know 
not."
Anne is in a quandry
[GM]: The Cleric Smiles at the Old Lady, "I am sorry, His Eminence is very busy and cannot be 
disturbed at this late hour.  You must make an appointment."
[GM]: The Cleirc folds his arms and sighs.
[Anne]: *what do I do?  Try and help this woman, even though I have no skill at what she may 
need, or do I see the Patrona...?*
[GM]: The Old Lady begins to cry.
[Anne]: "Perhaps, sir, this may help... I have a referall from Father Bartus of St. Meliss in 
Shevandale...
[GM]: The Cleric looks at Sister Anne.
[GM]: He reaches for the paper.  He takes it and examines it carefully.
[Anne]: About an object of Vast worth to the faith... Perhaps this woman could come with me when 
- if - I am allowed to see His Emminence.
[Anne]: ?
[GM]: The Cleric looks confused, "Well, I ... I ... I cant disturb his emminence at this late 
hour."
[GM]: The Cleric, "Perhaps you could return tomorrow?"
[Anne]: "I'm sorry about this, really I am, but I fear that this is *SO* imporatant, that I may 
not survive until tomorrow without risk of losing the object..."
[GM]: A voice, old and raspy, "Nonesense"
[Anne]: Anne looks to see who spoke....
[GM]: Standing about 20 yards inside the gates is a man dressed in blue robes.  He is very old 
and appears fragile.
[Anne]: Anne bows in respect to the elder man's wisdom...
(GM whispered to Anne): You notice something about him.  A glow that you are surprised that you 
didn't notice before.  It appears as a shpere encircling his head.
[GM]: The Cleirc turns and goes down on his knees, "Your eminence"
[Anne]: "I may worry too much, its true, but I... Your Eminence?"
[GM]: The man in blue robes approaches the party, slowly.
[Anne]: Anne bows and waits to kiss the Loard Patrona's hand
[Anne]: Anne whispers to the others "Show some respect, men - this is the Lord Patrona himself!"
[GM]: Lord Patrona, "Ahh... Cleric dispense with the formalities at this late hour. (he looks 
toward Sister Anne)"
Thomas arches an eyebrow but mimics Sister Anne's bow.
[GM]: Sir Cornelius goes to one knee.  Jamison follows his lead.
[Anne]: "Thank you, Your Eminence..."
Thor drops to one knee
[Anne]: "I have something for you... I fear it may not be safe in my possession, and in truth it 
belongs to the faith, not me."
[GM]: Lord Patrona (to Anne) "You say that you are to see me in a matter of great importance?"
[Anne]: "I have a genuine Sanctum Ral, found in the catacombs of Shevendale crypts.
[GM]: The Cleric holds up the note, still down on his knees.  He does not even meet the LP's 
gaze.
[Anne]: (She unpacks the Sanctum Ral and shows it to the Lord Patrona)
[GM]: Lord Patrona, "Very interesting"
[ sobe joined the game ]
[GM]: Lord Patrona, "Please follow me inside (he motions toward the Holy Cathedral)  I must see 
this .... Sanctum Ral"
[GM]: Lord Patrona (to Cleric) "Rise and prepare the meeting room"
[Anne]: "At once, Your Emininece"  Anne rises and follows - and assumes the others follow as 
well
[GM]: The Cleric hops up, "Yes your Eminence" (he moves quickly towards one of the spires)
[GM]: The Cleric is out of sight in under 3 minutes even though the closest tower seems to be 
about 150 yds away.
[Anne]: (ooc - fast!)
Thomas follows as well, his hands in his pockets and walks along with Sister Anne and thr group.
He keeps a careful eye out, not suspecting anything, but old habits die hard.
Thor rises and follows Anne
(sobe whispered to GM): hi
[GM]: The Old man turns and begins to walk toward the main buildings, "Please everyone join me 
inside ... I am very interested in hearing about this Holy Book"
[  MikeL joined the game ]
[GM]: ((welcome back Mike))
[Thor]: ((WB))
[Anne]: Anne moves into the room, trying to recall proper ettiquette...
[Jackdaw]: ooc thanks
[Anne]: Hiya JD
[GM]: The Lord Patrona moves very slowly. It takes him the good part of 20 minutes to escourt 
you all inside.
[Anne]: (ooc is the old lady with us?  Anne would have tried to ensure she came too...)
[GM]: The Lord Patrona is dressed in robes that are very much like Anne's.  They are not fancy 
as one might assume.
Jackdaw looks around in amazement
[GM]: (I will assume that Anne brought the Old Lady with her)
[Anne]: ooc thanks
[GM]: You are all lead to the East of the main entrance, into a small unassuming doorway.  Once 
inside the Lord Patrona continues down a hallway until you all arrive in a meeting room.
[GM]: The Lord Patrona does not speak a word, but focuses his effort on moving his tired bones.
[GM]: The Old Lady sniffles but does not speak either.  She seems excited at the prospect of 
meeting the LP.
[Anne]: Anne follows quietly...
[GM]: Inside the meeting room you find the Cleric (down on his knees again
[GM]: )
[GM]: The table has been set with a bottle of fresh water and clean glasses.
[GM]: The Lord Patrona makes his way to a comfortable chair, "Please leave us Cleric"
[GM]: The Cleric stands, bows and exits.  He appears nervous in the presense of His Emminence.
[GM]: The Lord Patrona sits, "Please ... be seated"
Anne feels nervous too!
[GM]: The Lord Patrona takes a deep breath and pours a glass of water.
[Anne]: Anne looks for a chair self-consciously, and then sits...
Thor finds a char and sits
[GM]: There are plently of chairs set around the room.
[GM]: The LP waits for everyone to be seated before he speaks again.
Thomas grabs a chair and catches himself before he puts his feet up on the table, as he usually 
does.  He sits, looking uncomfortable.
Jackdaw sits
[GM]: Inside the room you notice plants, a bookcase, and various religous symbols decorating 
the walls.
Jackdaw listens for any distant music
[Anne]: ooc do the symbols all belong to Ral's faith?
[GM]: Sir Cornelius and Jamison find a place to sit, neither of them saying a word.
(To GM) DICE for Jackdaw: (15-3d6) : 3d6=2,4,2  = [ 7 ]
(Jackdaw whispered to GM): if necessary
[GM]: ((All symbols are of the Ralian faith .. some appear to be very old))
[Anne]: Anne is jittery and nervous, waiting for the LP to speak...
[GM]: The Lord Patrona, "I was in the middle of my evening prayers .... and I felt something 
unusual."
[Anne]: "What was that, Your Eminence?"
[GM]: The Lord Patrona, "I could not get it out of my head, but soon grew restless. (he looks up 
and smiles) That does not happen very often when you are my age."
[GM]: The Lord Patrona, "I believe that it is a Santity that eminates from the Book that you 
carry Sister"
[Anne]: "Then I will gather the book for you...."  (Anne unpacks the book totally, and shows it 
to the LP)
[Anne]: "Would you like to hear about how we came to discover the book - it is a long story..."
[GM]: The Lord Patrona watches with interest, "Taken from the catacombs of Shevandale, you say?  
Catacombs in Shevandale .... I did not know that such a thing existed"
[GM]: The Lord Patrona coughs.
[Anne]: "They are not well known of, your Eminence."
[GM]: He continues to cough until he drinks some water, "Please,  I am very interested at 
hearing your story sister.  I am sorry, did you tell me your name?"
[Anne]: The book was guarded by undead soldiers - animated skeletons, and watched over by 
spirits who had yet to be laid to rest..."
[Anne]: I am Sister Anne of Shevendale, stationed most recently from the orclands and then 
Shevendale, to visit my mother."
[GM]: LP "Spirits not yet laid to rest? (he shivers) That sounds very nasty indeed"
[Jackdaw]: The skulls what whisperewd "help me"?
[Jackdaw]: what you helped?
[GM]: LP looks off into space "Sister Anne... sister Anne of Shevandale ... I have heard that 
name"
[Anne]: "That's right Jackdaw - and if you hadn't found them, they would still be suffering."
[Jackdaw]: but now they resting?]
[Jackdaw]: is good!
[GM]: LP seems to notice Jackdaw for the first time, "Welcome faun, to the Holy Cathedral (he 
smiles)"
Anne looks VERY surprised!  "uh... I don't know why you would have, Your Holiness?"
[Jackdaw]: "hihi my Jackdaw"
[GM]: Lord Patrona nods and smiles at JD.
[GM]: LP, "Continue Sister Anne"
[GM]: The Old Lady sits close to Anne, not saying a word.  She listens with great interest.
[Anne]: We had entered the catacombs, hoping to find a secret route to Baron Kessler's castle
... another long story... and I went along to ensure the crypts were kept sanctified."
[GM]: Lord Patrona nods and listens.
[Anne]: "We encounted the skeletons, and the sanctum Ral on a podium.  As we approached the 
skeletons arose and attacked us, saying "Defend" over and over..."
Thor listens with interest, as he hasn't heard this part of the story either, it was before they 
found him
[Anne]: "We defeated them, and I knew the book was importnat, so I carried it with me - and then 
ended up using the rites within it to lay the spirits JD found to rest - it took almost an hour 
- ritual after ritual."
[Anne]: When I was doing the rituals, I felt something - something odd, but good - and was sure 
that that was the right thing to do..."
[GM]: Lord Patrona, "Ral himself must have sent you aid."
[Jackdaw]: "and after that we finded the nice mans too"
[Anne]: "We emerged in Baron Kesslers castle, and completed our business, discovering he was a 
necromancer."
[Jackdaw]: "don't forgetted hims"
[Jackdaw]: "him helped us not be losted"
[GM]: LP, "The Baron of Shevandale a Necromancer?  These are very serious matters indeed."
[Anne]: "Indeed, Your Eminence, I think he must have, for so many rituals would be beyond almost
any priest or priestess!"
Thomas listens to the story, but his eyes also roam over the many artifacts that adorn the 
walls. He wonders if they are worth anything...
(GM whispered to Thomas): A merchant roll at -2 would tell you their value.
[Anne]: "I'm getting to that JD...  While in the catacombs, we encountered a priest - Brother 
Drascal, who helped us find our way."
(Thomas whispered to GM): Thats okay...I don't have the skill and he just killing time ^_^
[ jing joined the game ]
[GM]: ((Welcome Jing))
[Anne]: "It wasn't until later, after we had retired to the Chruch of St. Meliss that we 
discovered that Brother Drascal was no longer alive - he would have to be over 500 to 1000 
years old... Father Bartus showed me a picture from a very old book that looked exactly 
like Brother Drascal... and it was an *old* book."
[Jing]: Hello people
[GM]: The Lord Patrona smiles and almost laughs.
[Jing]: ooc:    Sorry
[Thor]: ((Ahh, welcome))
[GM]: ((np))
[Anne]: I felt, as did Father bartus, that such a treasure - the Sanctum Ral - must be given to 
the church, and I felt that since we all found it, we should bring it here, to you.  "
[Anne]: "However, the tale is stranger still..."
[GM]: Lord Patrona, "It is already incredible .... please go on ..."
[ Paul joined the game ]
[Anne]: "On the road, when we had been tricked by bandits, my friends and allies fought them 
off - and I... (she looks humbled) I remained in the fastcoach, and was visited by St. Meliss 
herself, who told me to watch over "artifacts from the past." and gifted me with a spell I 
had never known before..."
(GM whispered to Jing): Anne is giving a pretty good recap of things right now.
[Anne]: "It was amazing... She told me Ral was pleased with my efforts - and I felt...I felt at 
peace, and serene.  I can only wonder if that is what Ral's presence feels like!"
[Anne]: "And to end the tale, a few days later we are here... I've been so worried I might lose 
the book or that it would be stolen, I've barely slept without anxiety..."
[GM]: LP, "You have been blessed indeed, Sister Anne.  St. Meliss ... that IS a great honor."
[Anne]: "I know, Your Eminence... it is a blessing I will remember for all my life!"
[GM]: LP pours another glass of water and takes a sip.
[GM]: Lord Patrona, "...and now, let me observe this Sanctum Ral"
[Anne]: Anne slides the ancient book over to him
[ Paul left the game ]
[GM]: The Lord Patrona pauses looking at the book for what seems forever.
[GM]: For part of that time his eyes appear closed.
[GM]: The the LP reaches out and opens the old tome.
Jackdaw is getting a little antsy and looks around the room
[GM]: The LP turns the pages scanning the large book and after about 5 minutes of examining it 
he speaks, "Who told you that this was a Sanctum Ral?"
[Anne]: Anne reaches out and squeezes Jamisons' hand for reassurance...
[GM]: Jamison looks very nervous and smiles back at Anne.
[Anne]: "Father Bartus.... I... was the Father wrong?"
[Jing]: *ooc:  i shall return*
[ jing left the game ]
[Anne]: "Of did I mis-remember?  The last few days have been very busy..."  Anne looks shocked 
and upset...
[GM]: LP, "Father Bartus? (he smiles) Technically ... he was"
[GM]: The Lord Patrona, "But this is not a problem.  I would expect that great care has been 
taken to keep this intact on the journey here to the Holy Cathedral"
[Anne]: "I vowed to guard it with my life - and I know my firends would have protected me , if 
had needed to!"
[GM]: The Lord Patrona, "Contained herein are the 14 Books or Ral, preserved through the great 
time of discord.  But I feel that what you have here is even more than that!"
[Anne]: Anne looks flabbergasted.... "More, your Eminence?"
[GM]: LP, "If this was found in Shevandale, then I suspect that this might be THE book.  It 
definately predates civilization as we know it."
[GM]: LP, "Of course the proper tests will have to be made ...."
[Anne]: 
[Anne]: Anne doesn't know what to say...
[GM]: LP, "This volume does not contain the Tomes of the Keepers.  The Books of Ral and the 
Tomes were combined in the early years to make the Sanctum Ral that we know today."
Jackdaw tries to think of some words for Anval     "ohhhhh!!!!!"  comes to mind
[Anne]: "I ... I hope it lives up to your expectations, Your Eminence."
[GM]: LP laughs, "In fact the copy that we have here in the Holy Cathedral is just a mere copy 
of this Old Book made about 1100 years ago."
[GM]: Lord Patrona, "You have made a very important find indeed, Sister Anne"
Thor straightens in his seat
[Anne]: "Your Eminence, although I carried the Book, I did not find it alone... These fine men 
with me all aided in its recovery... I would not have them forgotten, or have me claim glory 
that was not truly mine."
[GM]: The Lord Patrona stands (with great effort) and moves over close to the bookcase.  He 
pulls a long cord that hangs there.
[Jackdaw]: "also was Dirk, without him we never finded the cats anyway" says Jackdaw, "but him 
gone now"
[Anne]: Anne stands when the LP rises, and remains standing
[Jackdaw]: "and Dir C was there too"
[GM]: LP then returns to his seat, "Sister Anne, Please tell me who all was present when this 
artifact was uncovered."
[Anne]: "Thank's JD - your memeory is strong."
[Anne]: There was myslef, Squire Jamison, Sir Cornelius, Jackdaw, .....
[Anne]: Thomas, an ellyl mage
[Jackdaw]: "Lendyll, him too"
[GM]: LP listens carefully.
[Anne]: ... and Dirk, the guide who lead us through the catacombs."
Thomas nods at mention of his name.
[ sobe left the game ]
[GM]: In about 5 mintues a man enters the room, in a dressing gown.
[Jackdaw]: "my forgetted lendyll, maybe my memory not so strong after all"
[Anne]: I believe that is all... Does anyone remember differently?"
[Jackdaw]: "but we haveded fun, getted ring back and now big Frollic can happen!"
[GM]: The man, "Your emminence, is everything well with you?"
[Thor]: "That would be everyone. You guys found the book before you had found and rescued me"
[GM]: LP speaks to the man, "Go and return with three men, important matters are at hand"
[GM]: The man bows deeply.  He looks at Sister Anne and the others in the room and then leaves 
without speaking a word.
[GM]: In another 5 mintues 4 men enter the room in elaborate robes and hats.
(GM whispered to Anne): You recognize their dress to be that of High Patrona (like Cardinal)
[Anne]: If they are her superiors, Anne bows and shows respect...
Jackdaw whispers to Thomas "almost as fancy as my mage friends hadded"
[Anne]: Anne bows deeply
[ Paul joined the game ]
[GM]: Two of the men nod to sister Anne.  one of them speaks, "Your eminence.  What is this 
matter that calls us from our evening prayers?"
[GM]: The LP stands, "Upon the table lies a book.  It is a Record of the Books of Ral that 
predates the Holy records that we have.  It must be taken to the Sacred Chambers at once, to be 
examined carefully tomorrow."
[GM]: The four men's jaws drop as they reverently take the book to its proper place.  One man 
remains and takes down the names of those in the party.
[GM]: The time is 11:30pm as the Lord Patrona rises and speaks, "The day is old.  Will you not 
all stay here in the Holy Cathedral while you remain in the Royal City?"
Thomas whispers over to JD and smiles mischevoulsy, "Yeah, but no ladies..."
Jackdaw pouts
(Paul whispered to GM): Sorry I'm late...i keep confusing your game starting time with Mike's. 
8 is a little tight for me to make.
[Jackdaw]: and whispers back "you sure?"
[Anne]: "I... I would be honored, Your Eminence, but as for my firends, they will ave to speak 
for themselves...."
[ Jamison joined the game ]
[Anne]: Hiya Jamison!
Thomas smiles, "Not in this bunch."
[Thor]: ((Hiya Jamison))
[GM]: ((Welcome Jamison!))
[Jackdaw]: hey guy
(lurker whispered to GM): Apologise to you... work
[Thomas]: [Hello]
(GM whispered to lurker): np
[lurker]: Hey all sorry to interrupt
[GM]: The Lord Patrona stands.
Jackdaw says "we haved rooms in big place by coaches my thinked"
[Jackdaw]: "also maybe my haveded new friends my not meeted yet"
[GM]: LP, "Sister Anne, Sir Cornelius, Squire Jamison, Jackdaw, Thomas, and Thor.  The Church 
thanks you for what you have done.   Possibly a great treasure has been restored to us.  
Approach me each one of you."
[Anne]: "Your eminence... I hate to interrupt, but can anything be done for this poor woman's 
daughter - she says she speaks in voices, and is possesed.  i would help, but my magical skills 
are weak in that area..."
[Anne]: Anne approaches... and bows again.
Thor rises and approaches
[GM]: As Anne approaches the Lord Patrona lays his hands on her and gives her his blessing.
[GM]: He does the same for Thor.
Jackdaw approachesed
[GM]: And then Jackdaw
Thomas approaches, pushing his hair out of his eyes, and approaches.
[GM]: And each in turn that approaches.
Jamison wishes for his eminance to bless him, and approaches
[GM]: He touches you each on your head and you feel a warmth enter your bodies, permeating your 
very souls.
Jamison revels in the light
[Anne]: Anne says a prayer to Ral, thanking him for his Blessing
[GM]: As Jamison comes close he speaks, "You are very young good squire.  I feel that you will 
accomplish great things in your life."
Jamison jumps up and believes that he is invinsible(in his own mind)
Anne thinks "young? He's huge!
Jamison looks at Anne....."and still growing..."
[Jamison]: 
Jamison grins
[Anne]: ooc lol!
Jackdaw forbears to comment
[GM]: After blessing each one of you the Lord Patrona speaks again, "And now I must be off to 
bed.  I hope that you can join me for supper tomorrow night as my guests?"
[GM]: The Lord Patrona smiles.
[Jackdaw]: "sure"
[Anne]: "Again, Your eminence, I would be honoured!"
[GM]: The Lord Patrona bows in respect and then leaves the room.
[Thor]: "I am honored to accept the invitation"
Jackdaw thinks that these city places are really nice, everybody gives you food, drink and 
companionship
[GM]: Two Clerics (neither of them the one from before) enter the room.
[GM]: One of them approaches the Old Lady, "You are to stay with us tonight.  Tomorrow someone 
will be sent to investiagate this 'possession' of which you speak"
[GM]: The other Cleric approaches Anne, "We can show you to rooms if you like"
[Anne]: "Thank you... It has been a long week!"  (Then to the lady... "Ma'am, may I know your 
name?")
[GM]: The Old Lady looks at Anne, "My name is Martha ... Martha of Dark Glen"  She clutches 
Anne's hand and smiles greatly.
Jamison watches the exchange with interest
[GM]: Martha, "Bless Ral for you Sister"
[Anne]: "I hope they can help you and your daughter, Martha of Dark Glen...  I know how mothers 
worry over their daughters - mine tells me every time I leave for battle.  I wish you luck and 
Rals' fortune upon you!"
[GM]: Martha, "Thank you" (she bows)
[GM]: Martha leaves with one of the Clerics
Jamison raises an eyebrow... and notes that Anne has a daughter
[GM]: The other Cleric waits for Anne.
[Anne]: ooc LOL!
[GM]: ((Anne IS a daughter))
[Anne]: Anne's mother tells her every time!
[Jamison]: OOC: it reads differently..hehehe
[Anne]: ooc Anne doesn't have a daughter yet!
[GM]: Cleric "Will you each be wanting a room?"
[Jackdaw]: ooc Jackdaw willing to help
[GM]: ((LoL @ JD))
[Anne]: 8P
[Jamison]: hahahaha
[Thor]: ((LOL)
[Jamison]: OOC: dice?
[Jackdaw]: but Anne turned him down
[Anne]: "Yes, sir..."
[Jackdaw]: "my think my go meet new friends my not knoewed yet"
[Jamison]: Thank You sir...Yes.
[GM]: The Cleric begins to leave, "Follow me"
Anne looks wistfully at Jamison...
Thor remember he has his important stuff with him and nods "Yes, thank you"
[Anne]: "Alright..." Anne follows the cleric
[Jackdaw]: ooc so THATS how it is!
Thomas follows along, giving a big yawn as he walks.
[GM]: You are lead a great distance away to another one of the 14 spires to an wing that 
appears to be only rooms.
(Jamison whispered to GM): OOC:Can you tell me Anne's age?
[GM]: The Cleric shows you, "This entire wing is vacant .. please use it as you may"
[Thomas]: [Hehehe...JD, for 500 soverign I will teleport Jamison into orbit for ya.  No 
compition ^_^]
(GM whispered to Jamison): She is 19
[Anne]: "Thank you... I think all we need at this point is sleep...."
[Anne]: ooc LOL!!!
[Jackdaw]: hmmm, or not . . .
(Jamison whispered to GM): Hmmmmm...interesting
Jackdaw goes out to try his luck
[Jackdaw]: and meet new friends and have some fun
[GM]: Each room is bare with 1 small bed, 1 small table with a pitcher and bowl of water, and a 
Ralian symbol on the wall.
[GM]: The time is now 12 midnight.
[GM]: Does everyone beside JD stay here tonight?
[Thomas]: [BRB]
[Anne]: "Friends, I'm off to bed... I'll see you all in the morning - that is, if JD doesn't 
vanish on us! "
[Thor]: "I think he probably will.  Good night everyone."
[Jamison]: It is time for Jamison to catch some sleep...he is looking forward to a possible 
competion, tomorrow...
Thor laughs
(Anne whispered to GM): Anne goes into her room, removes her armor, and says her nightly 
prayers before going to sleep - the first anxiety free rest she's had since she found the Holy 
Book.
[Jamison]: good Night , all
Jackdaw will look for a tavern or such with lights and some music
[Jackdaw]: maybe a block party if he's lucky
Jamison returns Annen's wistful look
[GM]: Jackdaw does not have a problem finding a Tavern.  It is actually pretty close to the 
rooms that Jamison paid so dearly for.
[GM]: PAUSE SESSION
(Jamison whispered to GM): Am I broke, yet...?
Jackdaw goes in to liven up things some
[GM]: Now I will tell you about your blessings.
(Jamison whispered to GM): Each thier own, I hope...
[Jackdaw]: ooc cool
[Anne]: ooc cool
[Thor]: ooc ok:)
[GM]: You each have 3 'blessings' that may be used to modify any dice roll by 5 points, even 
after it is rolled.
[Jackdaw]: wow
[GM]: You may also use this as justification to purchase an advantage or attribute from 
existing CPs
[Jamison]: wooohooo
[GM]: ... as if you were just starting out.
[Jackdaw]: ooc I doubt he needs them for that
[GM]: hehehe
[Thor]: ..at starting cost?
[GM]: Yes, at starting cost.
[GM]: And I will even let you wait a maximum of 5 sessions before making that purchase.
[Jackdaw]: ooc all three blessings to buy new advantages or one each?
[Thor]: Ack 1 point short as of right now
[GM]: Ral's blessing effects everyone in a different way.
(Anne whispered to GM): I'm confused... are each blessing worth 5cps to buy advantages?
[GM]: I will attempt to explain it again.
[Jackdaw]: let me clarify, can each blessing be used for one purchase?
[GM]: You each have three 'blessings' that can be used to modify a die roll by up to 5 points, 
even after it has been rolled.
[GM]: In addition to the three blessings, you may use incident as justification to purchase an 
advantage or attribute at begining cost.
[Jackdaw]: ah, ok
[GM]: 3 blessings + a purchase if you want it.
[GM]: Instead of a Purchase you could also buy off a disadvantage
[Jamison]: at cost?
[GM]: Is that clear now?
[GM]: At cost
(Anne whispered to GM): I have a question... Could Anne purchase Beautiful (net cost 25pts) and 
simply pay ALL earned cp towards it until its paid off?  She has 8cp unspent right now
(GM whispered to Anne): I think that will work
[Jamison]: I am fairly certain..But I may ask questions later...
[Paul]: ((geez...i snoozed on getting in on this deal  *grin*))
[GM]: Sure feel free.
[Jamison]: thanks
[Jackdaw]: yes, thanks
(Anne whispered to GM): Great - then that is what I'd like to do... (Can we change her hair to 
red too?)
[Jamison]: OK...Let me at 'em
(GM whispered to Anne): Sure that could be justified.
[Jackdaw]: any advantage we have poiints for?  Do you want approval/input?
[Thor]: Think I know what I want to do.. but I'll have to wait until after this session, as 
I'll need this session's CP to have enough.
[GM]: Yes, it would have to be approved.
(Anne whispered to GM): Thankyou!  I really appreciate this!
[Jackdaw]: makes sense
[Jackdaw]: any major limits?
[GM]: There are some ... Super advantages are pretty much out.  But feel free to ask.
[Jackdaw]: certain things you DON"T want us to take?
[Jamison]: Good qestion MikeL.
[Jackdaw]: frex things that might short circuit plot lines?
[GM]: I cant think of anything right off hand.
[Jamison]: I may be speaking out of turn....But I beive that the GM is giving all of us a 
chance to grow up....
[Jamison]: beive=believe
[Jackdaw]: PSI? not for JD I have some ideas there but in general
[Anne]: Grow up?
[Jamison]: character growth... free reign.. take advantage of it...
[Anne]: ahh gotcha!
[Jackdaw]: ie want Weapons Master?
[Jackdaw]: Blesseed?
[GM]: But you are pretty much limited to the CPs that you have saved now.  I might approve you 
to buy something that you are a little lacking in CPs for, but only with approval.
[Jamison]: E-mail will be happening this week....Rubix...
[Jackdaw]: a single purchase? or up to what CPs we have?
[Thor]: I will need to use 1 of my CPs from this session, as I need 10 and only have 9.
[GM]: A single purchase
[Jackdaw]: definately Jamison, and a lot of careful thought
[GM]: No problem Thor
[Jamison]: Rub, please post this discussion ASAP... I want to review it to exploit what you 
have stated...
[GM]: exploit???  I don't like the sound of that!  hehehe
[Jackdaw]: I wanna hit my books!
[Anne]: lol!
[Anne]: 8D
[Thor]:  :-D
[Jamison]: Well, it's an opportunity... would you expect any less from your players?
(Anne whispered to GM): I'll send an e-mail telling you why I chose what I did, and explain how 
I think it can help the game... I've got some ideas....
[GM]: I would like to end it here tonight ... starting next week with the next day.  Bright 
Saturday.
[GM]: But first ....
[Jackdaw]: well I'd think we'd all keep it in character
[GM]: RESUME SESSION
[GM]: You all get to sleep and experience a rest unlike you have experienced in a long while.
Jamison winks at Anne and opens the door to his room
[GM]: You each cant help feeling that something about you has changed.
[GM]: Energy permeated your whole body and it seems to glow with some kind of energy.
Anne blushes and looks away - rather embarassed... waves, and goes into her room
[Jackdaw]: yeah my  blond!
[Jackdaw]: ooc did my get llucky?
(GM whispered to Anne): You catch glimpses of this energy around each of you before you go to 
your room.
Jamison thinks towards JD...too bad, so sad
[Jackdaw]: or should we deal with that later
[GM]: Jackdaw is the toast of the town and has them standing in line to buy him drinks.
[GM]: Not too many blond fauns around these parts!
[GM]: Carousing Roll JD?
(Anne whispered to GM): Anne is so overwhelmed with what has happenend today, she doens't know 
how to react, but knows that it is a Good Energy, and rests better becasue of it.
[Jamison]: OHHH, boy...this may not be pretty..hehe
(To GM) DICE for Jackdaw: (13-3d6) : 3d6=5,1,3  = [ 4 ]
[Jackdaw]: made by 4
[Thor]: *phew*
[GM]: Like I said ... you are the toast of the town.
[GM]: How about a Sex Appeal Roll, too?
[Jamison]: OOC: hehehe...keep hunting.
[Jackdaw]: ooc: aahww they're just buttering me up
(To GM) DICE for Jackdaw: (13-3d6) : 3d6=3,1,1  = [ 8 ]
[Jackdaw]: made by 8
[Anne]: ooc "Canola Oil is for *cooking*?"
[Jackdaw]: not quite a crit
[GM]: Ouch!  You have your choice of 
DICE for GM: (1d6) = [ 3 ]
[Jamison]: OOC: but JD, you are such a cutie in that blonde wig...hehehe
[GM]: 3 women
[GM]: They all want very much to spend the night with you.
[Jackdaw]: lets just say "he got lucky" and is "content" tomowrrow?
[Jamison]: k
[Jackdaw]: ooc I don't think a blow by blow with color commentary is required
[GM]: You all awake in the morning well rested and content, Jackdaw with a big smile on his 
face.
[GM]: END SESSION
