* Logging #Frilond to '#Frilond.log'
<Valerius> Hey we were just talking about you
<Mendelor> Greetings
<Mendelor> All good I hope
<Ruik> Come on hill giants! There are three of us now!
<FrilonDM> Well, we've got a quorum—let's get ready to RUUUUUUUUUMBLE
<Ruik> Hiya Mendelor!
<Mendelor> I need to role for 6th level hit points
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, Roll em
<FrilonDM> 1d10
* Bear rolls for FrilonDM (1d10) and gets 9.
<Mendelor> 1d10
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d10) and gets 7.
<FrilonDM> Not shabby . . .
<FrilonDM> Situation: You are in Bartle and Rud's house, along with two captive boys and Fat Charlie. Several men appear to have escaped through a secret door in the far wall of the house.
<FrilonDM> Any questions?
<Valerius> I say that Mendelor and I take the door
<Mendelor> Good with me
<FrilonDM> STJ : What about all these captives?
<Valerius> And the others go through the roof over to the next house and try to cut them off
<Valerius> Vandoren can guard them
<FrilonDM> VD : OK
<Valerius> And send us a magic message if in trouble
<FrilonDM> Alright, St. James and Ruik head for the roof . . .
<FrilonDM> M and V stand by the door.
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, roll 1d20, please.
<Valerius> Ready Men
<Valerius> I want to cast knock on the door
<Mendelor> 1d20
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d20) and gets 3.
<FrilonDM> V?
<Valerius> The secret door if it is locked I want to cast knock on it
<FrilonDM> OK
<FrilonDM> The door seems unlocked.
<Mendelor> I ready my ax
<FrilonDM> OK—manually opening the door?
<Valerius> I cast unseen servant and have it open the door
<FrilonDM> Val, OK
<FrilonDM> Ruik, meanwhile you and StJ are on the roof.
<Valerius> "Beware my Power!"
<Ruik> Cool
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, Valerius begins to utter strange words, and makes weird gestures . . .
<Ruik> I keep an eye on the ground
<Mendelor> I step back
<FrilonDM> The air begins to shimmer . . . you seem to see strange wisps of . . . something arising before the door.
<FrilonDM> The wisps form a hand that moves towards the door . . . opening it . . .
<FrilonDM> Suddenly, a rigged axe chops down through the wisp, and lands harmlessly on the floor.
<FrilonDM> Behind, you see the door opens into a very narrow, dark alley.
<Mendelor> I enter slowly
<Valerius> Light a torch, hand it to my servant and proceed
<Valerius> Staff ready
<Mendelor> Ok
<FrilonDM> Ruik, from the roof you can see that there is a narrow space between this building and the next. You watch as the secret door below opens.
<Ruik> Gotcha, we follow.
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, you step into a narrow space—maybe 3.5' wide. Very dark.
<FrilonDM> Is the servant leading?
<Valerius> I have a torch lit and yes
<Mendelor> I hope so
<FrilonDM> Ruik, you watch as a ghostly torch floats out from the door, enters the alley, and advances. You can see that the alley runs about thirty feet and ends in a blind wall. The alley is completely cut off from the street.
<Ruik> Must be another door somewhere.
<Mendelor> I search for secret doors
<FrilonDM> 1d20.
* Bear rolls for FrilonDM (1d20.) and gets 7.
<FrilonDM> Anyone else?
<Valerius> Me too
<Ruik> We continue to watch.
<FrilonDM> 1d20
* Bear rolls for FrilonDM (1d20) and gets 3.
<Valerius> Can Ruik and St J jump to the next roof and see
<Mendelor> Let's have StJ climb down and check
<FrilonDM> Valerius, you notice a section of the wall, opposite Rud's house, seems strange . . .
<Valerius> If the bad guys are exiting the other building?
<Valerius> While we look
<Valerius> I have the servant investigate
<FrilonDM> Ruik, you cannot see anyone leaving from the other building.
<Ruik> Okay
<FrilonDM> The servant presses up against the space in the wall, but the wall does not give.
<Valerius> Then let's have these guys join us (if I have found a door)
<Valerius> Pull?
<FrilonDM> The guys on the roof?
<Valerius> Yes
<FrilonDM> OK.
<FrilonDM> The servant fumbles, then pulls. A narrow door opens in the wall.
<Ruik> We go down.
<FrilonDM> There are some stairs down, leading to a dark, narrow tunnel, about five feet high.
<Valerius> Wait for the others than go down
<FrilonDM> OK, everyone is down on your level.
<Ruik> What's our MO?
<Valerius> Can the servant go first and prod the ground
<FrilonDM> VANDOREN : You want me to stay here alone with these prisoners?
<Valerius> Yes
<Mendelor> I'll go first
<FrilonDM> VD : Alright!
<Valerius> Send us a message if you get in trouble
<FrilonDM> Who is going first—Mend or the servant?
<Valerius> Give the torch to Ruik
<FrilonDM> OK
<Ruik> Okay
<Valerius> And send the servant, prodding as it goes
<FrilonDM> OK.
<Valerius> We will stay back a from it a bit
<FrilonDM> The stairs are narrow and steep, and seem to descend beneath street level.
<Valerius> Then Stj then Mend. Then me, then Ruik?
<FrilonDM> OK with the marching order.
<FrilonDM> The servant prods the ground, but does not trigger any traps.
<Mendelor> Ok with me
<Valerius> Continue
<Ruik> Same here.
<FrilonDM> The servant advances down the narrow, cramped tunnel. It's dirty and dusty.
<Valerius> Any sign they have been here Mendelor?
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, roll 1d20, please.
<Mendelor> I'll check for tracks
<Mendelor> 1d20
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d20) and gets 2.
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, you easily identify the tracks of four men.
<FrilonDM> They passed through moments ago.
<Valerius> Try to move quickly but not too unsafe
<Mendelor> "They're here"
<FrilonDM> The tunnel gently curves to the right, and continues on for many feet.
<Valerius> "Can you tell how many?"
<FrilonDM> Up ahead, the tunnel ends in a closed door.
<Ruik> Does it descend more?
<FrilonDM> ::M thought there were four men::
<Valerius> "James, Ruik ..."
<FrilonDM> Ruik, the tunnel descends only slightly.
<FrilonDM> STJ : You want to check for traps, Ruik?
<Ruik> "A door?"
<Ruik> Yeah
<FrilonDM> Yes.
<Valerius> Varick, Rud, Bartle but who is the fourth one?
<Ruik> I do
<FrilonDM> Ruik, please roll 1d100
<Ruik> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Ruik (1d100) and gets 96.
<FrilonDM> St James frowns.
<FrilonDM> STJ (grumbling) : Let me try . . .
<FrilonDM> 1d100
* Bear rolls for FrilonDM (1d100) and gets 62.
<Ruik> And rightly so.
<FrilonDM> Neither of you found any traps.
<Valerius> "Hurry you buffoons" *hissing*
<Valerius> Do they hear anything?
<FrilonDM> STJ : Valerius, make your spirit open this door!
<Ruik> I check
<Valerius> I do
<Valerius> After Ruik checks
<FrilonDM> Ruik, 1d100
<Ruik> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Ruik (1d100) and gets 54.
<FrilonDM> You don't here anything.
<Valerius> I have the servant open it
<Mendelor> I move in front of the party with my shield
<Valerius> We stand back
<FrilonDM> The invisible spirit presses against the door, which slowly creaks open.
<FrilonDM> There is a room beyond.
<Valerius> Look in
<Mendelor> Send the torch in
<Valerius> Ok
<Mendelor> Then I enter
<FrilonDM> It is small, circular, about 8' high and 15' in diameter. It appears empty, save for cobwebs clinging to the ceiling.
<Valerius> Any tracks?
<Mendelor> Do I still see tracks?
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, 1d20 please.
<Mendelor> 1d20
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d20) and gets 5.
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, you notice that the pursued attempted to camouflage their tracks, but you get lucky and see that they passed through the wall directly opposite the door you entered.
<FrilonDM> 1d100
* Bear rolls for FrilonDM (1d100) and gets 55.
<Valerius> I have the boys listen and then command the servant to open the door
<FrilonDM> 1d100
* Bear rolls for FrilonDM (1d100) and gets 48.
<FrilonDM> StJ : I don't hear nothing.
<FrilonDM> Ruik?
<Ruik> I check
<FrilonDM> Roll 1d100, please.
<Ruik> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Ruik (1d100) and gets 84.
<FrilonDM> You don't hear anything, either.
<Ruik> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Ruik (1d100) and gets 22.
<Ruik> Whoops
<Mendelor> "Open the door already!!"
<Valerius> "Open this door my servant"
<FrilonDM> The servant pushes the door, which swings out easily revealing another low, narrow corridor
<Valerius> Move on same as before
<Mendelor> Same marching order
<Valerius> Could I figure out about where we would be in the town?
<FrilonDM> This tunnel continues, again gently curving along.
<Valerius> Are we headed for Tim's
<Valerius> Do I think?
<Mendelor> Let's hurry up a little
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, roll 1d20
<Mendelor> 1d20
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d20) and gets 19.
<FrilonDM> Hmmmm.
<FrilonDM> Val, you seem to be heading vaguely toward Tim's—that is, north.
<FrilonDM> After snaking on and on in the dark, the corridor abruptly ends.
<Mendelor> I check for tracks
<Valerius> OOC: jay is here should he go home and log on ?
<FrilonDM> Whatever he wants to do.
<Valerius> He wonders how much is left?
<FrilonDM> Another 45 minutes, prolly—should be done around 7.
<Valerius> He is headed home
<FrilonDM> OK.
<FrilonDM> *Where was I*
<FrilonDM> Ah, tracks.
<Mendelor> 1d20
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d20) and gets 4.
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, there is a concealed door at the end of the corridor. The tracks lead through there.
<Valerius> "Servant open this door"
<FrilonDM> The servant pushes against the door, but nothing happens.
<Valerius> StJ, Ruik unlock this thing
<FrilonDM> Ruik?
<Ruik> Okay
<FrilonDM> Roll 1d100, please.
<Mendelor> Don't forget traps
<Ruik> I wan to check for traps, first.
<Valerius> True true
<FrilonDM> OK, roll em
<Ruik> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Ruik (1d100) and gets 92.
<FrilonDM> No traps detected, but you hear a _lot_ of noise behind the door.
<Ruik> I wish I were rolling hit points...
<Ruik> Is it locked?
<Mendelor> Let's go!!!
<FrilonDM> Yes, there is a simple lock.
<Valerius> What is the noise?
<Ruik> People?
<FrilonDM> The noise sounds like many people talking, shouting.
<Valerius> Let's do it. I summon monsters
<Ruik> Let's draw them out.
<FrilonDM> It sounds like a party.
<Valerius> A happy party?
<Mendelor> Are we killing or taking prisoners
<FrilonDM> It's hard to tell exactly what the nature of the party is.
<FrilonDM> A boisterous party.
<Ruik> Would we be at street level now?
<Valerius> Let's have StJ crack the door a bit
<Valerius> And look in
<Mendelor> Crack the door and peek in
<FrilonDM> You're still below street level.
<FrilonDM> Ruik, roll to pick the lock, please.
<Ruik> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Ruik (1d100) and gets 18.
<FrilonDM> The lock easily opens. Who wants to try the door?
<FrilonDM> Mendelor?
<Ruik> Better!
<Valerius> Who ever is the most quiet
<Mendelor> "What is our plan of attack"
<FrilonDM> Prolly Ruik, then.
<Ruik> Okay.
<FrilonDM> *Pause while DM gets a drink of water*
<Valerius> I want Varick alive and Rud and Bartle if possible
<Valerius> Varick is our proof and all the answers that we need
<Ruik> "So what should I do, Valerius?"
<Valerius> Rud and Bartle need live only long enough to pay for what they did to Mot
<Valerius> You should open the door a bit and peek in and see what to hell is going on
<FrilonDM> *Back*
<FrilonDM> Ready?
<Valerius> It's Ruik's move
<Mendelor> Ok if we attack I'm going after Bartle
<Ruik> Okay.
<Ruik> I peek in.
<Valerius> Varick should really be the priority
<FrilonDM> Ruik, the door swing in towards you . . .
<Valerius> But maybe St J should go after him
<FrilonDM> It appears that the door is concealed behind a tapestry or wall covering—you are now looking at a big piece of fabric.
<Ruik> Is it lit inside?
<Valerius> Be a thief
<FrilonDM> Yes, and very loud.
<Ruik> I peek around it.
<Mendelor> Can we hear what is being said?
<FrilonDM> The door opens up into a large, smoky room, dimly lit by flickering tapers. A sour smell of old, spilled ale assaults you. The room is crowded with maybe three dozen men who are lounging, drinking, and gambling.
<Valerius> Any of our boys?
<Ruik> I motion the others to be still. I listen.
<FrilonDM> Ruik, roll 1d100, please.
<Ruik> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Ruik (1d100) and gets 54.
<Valerius> How big is the room?
<FrilonDM> ST J : Damn—do you know where the hell we are?
<Valerius> No, do you?
<FrilonDM> The room is about 40' x 40'
<Valerius> Ok
<FrilonDM> ST J : Damn, it's Maggie's basement!
<Valerius> "How vile"
<FrilonDM> ST J : We're under the House of the Red Door!
<Valerius> Are Varick or the others here?
<FrilonDM> Ruik, behind the door you can hear quite a racket: many different voices, shouting and laughing raucously.
<FrilonDM> Several comely young women work the crowd with full tankards of ale.
<Valerius> Is it busy enough that we could slip in?
<FrilonDM> Over in a far corner, you spy a group of men—they look out of place, but appear to be trying to blend in to the crowd.
<Valerius> Is it our boys?
<FrilonDM> Valerius, it does seem busy enough so that you could slip in.
<Ruik> I try to slip in.
<FrilonDM> There is a thin, hook-nosed man, and a large, fat man.
<Valerius> St James any other ways out of this room?
<Mendelor> I check to see if the tracks have backtracked
<FrilonDM> Ruik, 1d100 please.
<Ruik> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Ruik (1d100) and gets 46.
<Valerius> St J has seen Varick—is that him?
<FrilonDM> ST J : There is a stairway over by where those bastards are sitting.
<FrilonDM> ST J : Yeah, that's Varick—the one with the beard, in the red cloak
*** stjames has joined #Frilond
<Valerius> Could Mendelor get there before they could and block the door?
<Bear> Bear nuzzles stjames
<Bear> The time is 06:29:52
<stjames> Hello
<stjames> What's the status?
<FrilonDM> Ruik, you slip into the wretched hive of villainy without any problem.
<FrilonDM> St James, you have tracked Varick, Rud, and Bartle through some underground tunnels to Maggie's basement
<stjames> Maggie's!!!!!!
<FrilonDM> Which is full of drunks and gamblers.
<Ruik> I go to the stairs immediately and sit on a step.
<stjames> I never knew about this!
<stjames> Are they in the room?
<Ruik> So it's blocked.
<FrilonDM> St. James, they are in the room.
<Valerius> St James should mingle in too and go by the stairs
<stjames> Do they know we're after them?
<FrilonDM> Ruik, it's hard to get over there—it's very crowded. Girls come up to you and offer ale.
<stjames> I mingle . . . is Mags around?
<FrilonDM> St. James, they seem to know that _someone_ is after them.
<stjames> Working my way to the stairs trying to catch Maggie's eye
<FrilonDM> St. James, Ruik, roll 1d100s, please.
<Valerius> Mendelor and I will cover our faces and than enter once they Ruik and St J are I place

<Ruik> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Ruik (1d100) and gets 66.
<Valerius> Don't draw attention to yourself Ruik!
<FrilonDM> St. James, no sign of Maggie. No one immediately recognizes you.
<stjames> Roger, anyone I know? any of the girls?
<FrilonDM> Ruik, a girl slips her arm around your waist. GIRL : What do you want?
<stjames> Great Mags is off getting f*****!
<Valerius> Just get to the stairs and block there escape
<stjames> I go to the stairs
<FrilonDM> St. James, you recognize plenty of regulars, but no Roger.
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, Val, roll 1d100 please.
<Valerius> Let's do this 1d100
<Valerius> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Valerius (1d100) and gets 13.
<stjames> Is this a new basement scene or am I have I been here before?
<FrilonDM> Valerius, people make way for you. No girls come to ply you with drink.
<FrilonDM> Mendelor?
<Valerius> I would like St James and Ruik to move in and mug Rud and Bart
<FrilonDM> (St. James, this is a regular spot)
<Valerius> Once everyone is in position I start to move towards the table
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, hello?
<stjames> I want to sneak behind Rud and discreetly stick a dagger up to his back and tell him to do as he is told if he wants to live
<stjames> If possible
<stjames> Which ever is closer to the exit
<Ruik> Ruik is a little dumbfounded. He's very awkward around women.
<Mendelor> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d100) and gets 13.
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, no one gives you any flack, either.
<Mendelor> 1d100
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d100) and gets 40.
<FrilonDM> St. James and Ruik seem to be hung up in the crowd.
<FrilonDM> Do Val and Mend continue alone?
<Valerius> Mendelor can head for the door than
<Ruik> I smile at the girl, awkwardly.
<Mendelor> I'm trying 1d100
<FrilonDM> Mend, you're all set.
<Ruik> I'll try to do the same to another knave.
<stjames> I ask a girl to take me upstairs
<Valerius> St J and Ruik can come running when the time is right
<Valerius> Good Idea St J
<Mendelor> I follow V.
<stjames> I'll clear a path for a fiver
<Mendelor> Yes I'll head for the door
<Ruik> I try to get away from the lady
<Valerius> Randy, did you get my message?
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, when you get within ten feet or so of the Varick & company, the bearded man suddenly jumps up and screams!
<FrilonDM> He screams like a girl, and then Rud gets up and throws a chair at you.
<FrilonDM> 1d20.
* Bear rolls for FrilonDM (1d20.) and gets 6.
<stjames> I move in
<Ruik> I tell the woman to run.
<Valerius> I summon monsters
<Mendelor> I run towards them knocking people out of the way
<FrilonDM> The chair flies wide, and then crashes into someone else.
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, roll 1d20.
<Valerius> "NO PLACE TO RUN LITTLE BOYS!"
<Mendelor> "You will pay for that"
<Ruik> I sneak around behind the knaves to mug.
<Mendelor> 1d20
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d20) and gets 8.
<stjames> I run for the door to block it
<FrilonDM> Valerius, are you really summoning monsters?
<Valerius> F*** YES!
<stjames> Val has big balls
<Ruik> Yeehaa!
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, you stumble over a couple of people trying to get out of the way.
<stjames> Randy can I be a wizard after Curt is done . . . should be soon
<Valerius> These people will pay for what they did to Mot
<Ruik> Bring on the ogres!
<FrilonDM> New round: V is casting MS, Mendelor is going after Varick. What are the rest of you going to do?
<Valerius> Can I summon them in the stairway
<stjames> Val throw your darts you will be the last wizard to do so
<stjames> Running to block an exit
<Valerius> And have them charge down to help out?
<FrilonDM> Val, is possible.
<Valerius> That's what I do
<FrilonDM> Initiative rolls, please.
<Valerius> I will count on confusion to hide what I do

<Mendelor> 1d10
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d10) and gets 9.
<Ruik> Should I roll?
<FrilonDM> Valerius begins to utter the incantation. A few people nearby suddenly draw back.
<FrilonDM> Ruik, no need.
<Mendelor> 1d10
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d10) and gets 3.
<FrilonDM> Rud, Varick, Bartle, and another guy start to rush up the stairs, when suddenly there is a burst of sulphurous smoke in the stairwell, above them.
<FrilonDM> 1d6
* Bear rolls for FrilonDM (1d6) and gets 3.
<FrilonDM> A few people scream
<Valerius> You guys should give chase and ambush them
<FrilonDM> As the smoke dies down, three strange figures emerge . . .
<stjames> I rush behind them dagger drawn
<FrilonDM> They are half as tall as a man, dark-skinned, beetle-looking thing with shiny dark carapaces and clattering arms.
<Valerius> Cool.
<stjames> Yeah baby
<FrilonDM> The things begin descending down the stairs, chittering.
<stjames> Showtime
<FrilonDM> Rud & Co turn tail and rush right back down.
<Valerius> Hit'em where it hurts boys
<stjames> I lurch with my dagger
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, the biggest guy dives into you . . .
<FrilonDM> 1d20
* Bear rolls for FrilonDM (1d20) and gets 4.
<FrilonDM> But trips and lurches into the crowd.
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, you're up.
<FrilonDM> (Mendelor, we'll get back to you—roll 1d20 and tell me what you're using)

<Ruik> I wait for a chance to mug, safely out of the way.
* Bear rolls for Mendelor (1d20) and gets 4.
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, you swing your axe, but with all the jostling from the crowd, swing wide.
<FrilonDM> Suddenly, the entire room seems to erupt into total chaos! There are angry shouts and screams. Within moments fists, furniture, and bodies are flying.
<Mendelor> Attacking the big one
<FrilonDM> Next round. Actions?
<Valerius> My little friends will seek out Varick
<FrilonDM> Val, OK
<Valerius> Can I see Varick?
<FrilonDM> Val, yes. He looks very frightened by this turn of events.
<Valerius> If I can see him then grease
<Valerius> Grease his ass
<FrilonDM> Anyone else?

<Mendelor> Randy just roll for me
<Ruik> Same here.
<FrilonDM> It's total confusion—people are all running for the exits.
<Valerius> Can the creatures get to Bartle and the other unknown one?

<FrilonDM> Valerius, you can see Bartle and Rud make their getaway in the press.

<FrilonDM> The fourth guy was also thrown to the ground.
<Valerius> The creatures will give chase
<stjames> I tackle Rud
<FrilonDM> OK.
<Ruik> My server seems to be sleeping
<FrilonDM> St. James, you're on the ground.
<stjames> With Rud?
<Mendelor> Mine I believe is dead
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, you can get one attack on Rud.
<FrilonDM> Roll it?
<FrilonDM> 4d6
* Bear rolls for FrilonDM (4d6) and gets 19.
<Valerius> Nice
<FrilonDM> (Varick is jelly)
<Ruik> So does that mean we automatically save?
<Valerius> Dead?
<FrilonDM> Not in very good shape.
<FrilonDM> Kip, I'm rolling for you.

<stjames> I get up
<stjames> Or whatever is easier
<FrilonDM> Mendelor, you hit Rud once before the crowd sweeps him away.
<Valerius> Can my creatures take a swipe?
<Valerius> They were by the stairs
<FrilonDM> At the end of this round, you survey the scene. There are broken bodies and smashed furniture on the ground, and people are still streaming up the stairs.
<FrilonDM> Val, in the confusion your creatures didn't have a shot. In fact, they probably got trampled . . .
<FrilonDM> 4d6
* Bear rolls for FrilonDM (4d6) and gets 9.
<FrilonDM> There's smushed beetle goo in the stairwell.
<FrilonDM> You can see Varick's crushed form on the cellar floor.
<FrilonDM> He's dead, Jim.
<Mendelor> I try and grab the large thug and drag him into the secret corridor
<Valerius> Let's grab Varick (apply first aid) and the other one and get to f*** out of here
<Valerius> Can he be saved?
<FrilonDM> No one here has healing, right?
<Valerius> Herbalism?
<FrilonDM> Nope.
<Ruik> Can we pursue after we get up?
<FrilonDM> Varick's gone, I'm afraid.
<Valerius> Healing potions anyone?
<Mendelor> I go after Varick
<FrilonDM> Ruik, you can give chase if you want to . . .
<FrilonDM> Val, I'm not sure who has healing potions . . .
<Valerius> What about the other one?
<FrilonDM> He's battered, but alive. And scared.

<FrilonDM> Val, OK.
<Valerius> F*** those other guys we can't kill them in the street.
*** Ruik has joined #Frilond

<FrilonDM> Hullo, lads!
<Valerius> We have Mendelor cover our tracks if possible
<FrilonDM> OK, you guys drag Varick's corpse and the other guy back through the tunnel.
<Valerius> Yes
<FrilonDM> VANDOREN : What happened? It sounded like a riot?
<Bear> Bear nuzzles Ruik
<Bear> The time is 07:16:08
<Bear> Bear nuzzles Mendelor
<Bear> The time is 07:16:08
<FrilonDM> We might as well start wrapping up, here—I think the laggers are still in limbo.
<Ruik> Don't know. Gotta sell our house first.
<Ruik> Heelo all.
<Mendelor> Witchery
<stjames> Anything on the body?
<Ruik> Was it something we said?
<Valerius> So do we end here?
<stjames> On the body
<stjames> Yeah do we end here?
<Ruik> Kid's up. Back in a moment. Just NPC me for now.
<FrilonDM> Any further actions tonight?
<stjames> No
<Valerius> Check Varick's body
<Mendelor> What about the guy we didn't know
<Valerius> Check him and ask his name
<FrilonDM> He says his name is "Sly"
<FrilonDM> He begs you not to kill him.
<stjames> Let's take him to the apartment
<Valerius> "No deals yet"
<Mendelor> Let's take him and get out of here
<stjames> Yeah let's go
<Valerius> Let's pbm the rest of this?
<FrilonDM> Right, I'll try and knock something out this week.
<stjames> See you all later
<stjames> Gotta run
<FrilonDM> If you think of anything else, email me ASAP.
