Session Date: 28/Feb/2010 [17:37:38] * Joins: Livak (~Administr@1da97c9.a8c8d76.tn.comcast.net) [17:46:52] * Anti_away is now known as Antimerus [18:03:50] are we ready? [18:04:10] Sure as long as Vash doesn't try to destroy my lunch again. [18:06:24] * aetherspoon pokes Kritter [18:06:34] * Antimerus is now known as Alen [18:06:49] * Ragnhild is now known as Danica [18:06:53] * aetherspoon is now known as Evil_EM [18:07:25] as a reminder, could everyone give me their current XP totals and levels? [18:07:35] Anyone have a good record of how many adventures we've had so far? [18:07:39] I think it's either 6 or 7 [18:07:48] I am lvl 3 with 230 xp. [18:07:48] that counted for such things at least [18:08:01] I'm level 3.32 [18:08:11] Level 3.3 [18:08:37] There have been nine sessions, counting as six full adventures. [18:08:43] I'm keeping a log. [18:08:58] ok [18:09:09] last thing that happened... you arrived in Bervinia. [18:09:37] it is a big city, the second largest on the continent, and practically the only "Modern" major city on the Isle of Man. [18:10:10] In general, this is a trading city with little to no national government control over it - effectively a "Free City". [18:10:25] *Bervenia [18:10:35] as he explained last time.. [18:10:38] The city name that you can never spell. >_> [18:10:41] he changed it to his consistant misspelling. [18:10:44] I know. [18:10:47] I just like to bug him. [18:11:01] :P [18:11:02] rek-chan can you keep that kind of bugging in the other room? [18:11:12] You are interupting the session when you do it here. [18:11:42] anyway, you all saw lots of billboards and advertisements for Potion on the way in, advertised by some goofy looking adventurer. [18:12:10] the train stops at a large port area. [18:12:35] by this time, it is early evening. [18:12:58] How long were we on the train? [18:13:07] total? Two days. [18:14:01] "Does anyone know their way around this city? This is my first visit." [18:14:53] (Yanthia): "I've only been here a couple of times myself, so I'm probably not much help. Mr. Cuthrell's original office is here though, so he knows the way fairly well." [18:15:26] "I haven't been here before either." [18:15:34] "It's huge. We should be careful not to get separated, or it might take us days to find each other again." [18:16:30] (Mr. Cuthrell): "Well, perhaps we should go to the Hotel first and you all can explore the area around the hotel until you turn in." [18:16:41] "When are we expected at the main office?" [18:17:01] "Tomorrow, although I haven't heard what time yet; I'm supposed to receive a note via courier tomorrow morning." [18:17:41] "Hopefully this isn't one of those times where we get told the time ten minutes before we are supposed to be there and get blamed for being late." [18:18:01] "So we should meet up tomorrow for an early breakfast just in case we have an early appointment." [18:18:21] (Mr. Cuthrell): "I'd normally say 'I doubt that', but to be quite honest that is entirely possible." [18:18:31] "Most likely. I could also take an extra precaution if you can tell me where the main office is located." [18:19:38] "We probably won't be going to said main office. The librarian hates being cooped up inside without being surrounded by books, so the meeting might be in a library or a park. I won't know until I get that notice." [18:20:19] "That makes taking precautions on being able to get their quickly difficult if we don't know when or where it will be." [18:20:43] "Indeed it does." [18:20:57] "Does Mr. Upton have a favorite library or park he usually conducts his meetings in?" [18:21:06] "He isn't normally in this city, so no." [18:21:34] "Is there any famous library that will potentially draw his attention around here?" [18:21:36] "His personal office is on campus, but he is visiting to oversee some renevations of the library system here." [18:22:09] "So I'd say one of the libraries that are under renovation; which I don't know which ones are active at the moment." [18:23:21] "We could find that out by asking the locals. [18:23:37] you all have been walking since beginning the conversation, led by Hadrian. [18:23:54] "If I can draw a map of the area near said library I can get us there from the hotel quickly." [18:25:21] "Good idea, Alen." [18:25:22] "Here is the Hotel." [18:25:37] * Alen also quickly draws a map of the area nearby the hotel. [18:26:20] "It is in the old diplomatic sector of the city. At one time this city was on the border of two nations, so it was an important political location. Now it is really just used for tourists and visitors, as the scenery is a little more comfortable to them instead of the hustle and bustle of the downtown areas." [18:27:20] "About as much as I can direct you to in the local area - there are some shrines to the north, shops to the south, and fine dining to the west." [18:28:16] "That sounds great. I could use a good meal and some shopping." [18:28:28] "I'm going to go check in right now. I'm quite tired from the trip, especially our interruption. I'll make sure the front desk has your names for your rooms when you return." [18:29:15] Hadrian and Yanthia go inside the hotel. [18:29:25] What are the three of you doing (and are you splittling the party to do so)? [18:29:26] "Yee have a plan for how to find out which library is being worked on lass?" (to Livak) [18:30:01] this section of the city is far more medieval than the rest of it, by the way, so the roads are cobblestone and the rooves are thatch. [18:30:03] "I always find that merchants know alot about what is happening in the city, especially if money is involved." [18:30:57] "That does make sense. The fact that an attempt to delay us meeting Mr. Upton has already been tried, not knowing the time or place of the meeting makes me nervious." [18:31:02] I am in favor of sticking together. [18:31:10] "Waylaying or delaying a messenger is all too easy." [18:32:16] "Also we could always go Mr. Upton's office and speak with his secratary. I'm sure he or she would know when and where the meeting will take place. Although that means finding his office on campus." [18:32:39] (um, campus is not in this city..? right?) [18:32:40] Campus is in another section of the country, by the way. [18:32:48] yeah I was going to say that as well. [18:32:51] of course, in character, that hasn't been mentioned. [18:33:15] Being a map obsessed person with navagation skill I think Alen might know that much at least. [18:33:54] I can agree with that, yes. [18:34:40] "Campus is rather far from this city. Most likely his secretary is either here with him, or is taking care of matters back there and is out of touch with him." [18:35:51] "Shall we go then?" [18:36:01] "Hmm...I wish we knew more about Upton's habits. We might be able to find where he is staying." [18:36:09] "Sure." [18:36:32] "Lass, I think you are getting a bit too into this if you don't mind my saying. We want to know where the meeting will be, not stalk the man." [18:37:29] "I think it would be best if we did not meet him until after we've had a good night's sleep and a bath. If he hates adventurers, I'm sure he also hates the way people smell after dungeon delving and long travels." [18:38:26] "I didn't mean to meet him right now but I have a feeling that he would be staying rather close to where the meeting would take place. He doesn't seem the type to travel long distances." [18:38:35] "Indeed, and we should meet at the appointed time and place as well. But finding out when and where that will be could be tricky. Unless we are being overly paranoid." [18:39:14] so we are going to the merchants I guess [18:39:19] yup [18:39:39] all right. What skills do people have, by the way? [18:39:49] I should really note this down so I know what may or may not come up when. [18:40:30] Streetwise, Cartogrphy, Surveying, Navigation, Observation, Invention, Stealth, and Jump [18:40:40] I have judge, traps, observation, pick lock, stealth, and the following knowledges: World history, archeology, mythology. [18:40:51] oh and jump [18:41:26] magic lore, spirit lore, diplomacy, medical, k: geography, herbology, observation, learning, teaching, k: religion, alchemy, k: undead, sense energy, stealth, endurance. [18:41:37] and running/jumping. [18:42:10] okay. [18:42:23] so, this particular merchant's district is... obviously catered toward tourists. [18:43:06] you're still in the diplomat sector, so Alen, you can easily expect prices to be outrageous. [18:43:15] but they're probably willing to haggle. [18:43:40] they do, however, have some more standard styles of shops in here as well. [18:43:44] "Hmmm if we buy things here the prices will be geared towards tourasts." [18:44:47] what types of shops are you looking for and/or other things you are looking for? [18:44:55] (you plural, that is) [18:45:20] I'm a bit interested in armor shops myself, and.... [18:45:31] What kind of supplies would one need when renovating a library? [18:45:40] I'm looking for armor, digital camera and lock picks. [18:45:55] As for info I would look for lumber merchants [18:46:11] good plan [18:46:26] or other merchants in basic builiding supplies [18:46:38] I suppose I could use some 'occult supplies' - candles, incense, chalk, that sort of thing. :P [18:47:32] stone, metals [18:47:57] all right. [18:48:01] first up is armor. [18:48:19] I can roll streetwise to try and find someone who will admit to selling lock picks. [18:48:53] You find "Hero's Certified Armor Emporium" when it comes to armor at least. [18:48:59] Alen: Roll after armor shopping? [18:49:02] sure [18:49:23] does this one also have a billboard of Hero's face? [18:49:34] and salt! I need purifying salts. :P [18:49:36] the sign does, yes. [18:49:55] "Hmm isn't this the same person on the potion signs?" [18:51:12] going in? [18:51:33] yep [18:52:01] inside you find... [18:52:07] a cardboard cutout of Hero. [18:52:19] "I like armor!" is the caption on the cutout. [18:52:53] you hear from the back, "WELCOME! Welcome to Hero's Certified Armor Emporium. I will be out momentarily!" [18:53:18] (you are obviously having too much fun with this, but continue) [18:53:34] * Alen looks around at the light and medium armors. [18:53:52] you see a young man, human, come out of "the back" wearing some strange looking uniform. [18:53:57] * Livak heads to the light armor. [18:54:01] "How may I help you ladies and gentleman today?" [18:54:55] "We have everything from headbands to boots!" [18:55:39] he goes to Livak first. [18:55:45] "I am interested in your light armor selection. I'm looking to upgrade from my current armor." [18:55:53] "Ah, let me take a look at your current armor." [18:56:00] I have runic. [18:56:11] he takes a step back and glances. Not a leering look or anything, more like how a tailor would look at clothing. [18:57:15] "Ah! You have the... Runic Armor. Very unusual in this country, but you are obviously a traveller or adventurer; not so uncommon. Do you need any particular type of protection?" [18:58:21] "Well lately I have been finding myself in melee combat with the occasional magic attacks. [18:58:27] (Livak you know you can wear runic plus some other type of non-magical light armor at the same time right?) [18:58:39] Danica, what are you doing during this spectacle? Erm... shopping experience? [18:58:56] Nothing. Just looking. [18:59:00] (I don't know. I guess so. I can only wear light armor.) [18:59:14] Runic is clothing, so you can also wear armor. [18:59:21] yeah I guess so. [18:59:45] "Ah, something to compliment the Runic, I see! Now, are you one of those adventurers that goes dungeon delving or are you more of a stylistic adventurer?" [19:00:05] stylistic? [19:00:09] Danica, you find a lot of cardboard cutouts of Hero in the store, all captioned. [19:00:13] asking him what he means by that? [19:00:22] "What do you mean by stylistic?" [19:00:35] Danica: One of them even has "I can haz pizzaslice?" [19:01:08] "Oh, I'm referring to the people that just adhere to the adventuring style and would like some actual protection to go along with it. It is all the rage in fashion in some countries, apparently." [19:01:51] "I'm an archeologist. I guess I would fall in to the dungeon devlving category then." [19:02:23] "In that case, this is more what I would recommend." [19:02:58] he points you to a set of light armor that appears to be metal covered and offer lots of protection for the shoulder and torso areas. [19:03:21] behind that set, you can see what he was referring to by the "adventuring style". [19:03:25] there is a chainmail bikini. [19:03:39] the armor he's pointing at looks like actual armor instead. [19:03:44] * Livak touches the recommended armor. [19:03:58] "I think this will do nicely. How much?" [19:04:28] give me a moment. [19:05:29] "This set of armor costs 1500 gil." [19:06:37] * Livak glances at Alen to see what he thinks of the price. [19:06:53] (May I note you are the one with appraise?) [19:07:14] no I'm not [19:07:19] that is the other games. [19:07:22] (then no on has it) [19:07:34] (streetwise doesn't really help here) [19:07:36] correct. [19:07:48] the best anyone has is streetwise to figure out if this is the type of place that does major rip-offs. [19:07:56] I'll roll it [19:08:06] !roll d20+38 [19:08:07] * !Diebot sees that Alen rolled 51 [13]. [19:08:54] Alen, judging by the location, it is going to be high priced. However, given that he is actually knowledgable enough to know the difference between armor and "armor" (read: Chainmail bikini), he can't be the type of person to do a complete ripoff. [19:09:07] know and state the difference, that is. [19:09:18] "It looks ok to me lass." [19:09:20] "That is a bit more than what I expected to pay. Why does it cost so much?" [19:09:36] Livak: Roll Charm-15. [19:09:49] (charm check, that is) [19:09:57] !roll d20 [19:09:58] * !Diebot sees that Livak rolled 12 [12]. [19:10:47] "Well, we have some higher than average import costs due to this type of armor not being made locally; most armors around here are more the modern style, which protects more against firearms than swords and the like." [19:11:07] "Oh ok. Well I'll take it." [19:11:45] You have Better Than Chain Armor. :P [19:12:12] ok [19:12:25] it is actually called Mitheel Armor. 10 Melee defense, 2 Firearms defense, 5 Magic defense, 0 Energy defense. [19:12:42] and while it was overpriced, it wasn't actually by all that much. [19:13:00] "And for you sir?" [19:13:42] to me I take it? [19:14:15] yep [19:14:40] "I'm looking for some armor heavier than the leather I currently have, but not so heavy it will weigh me down too much. I'd also prefer real armor to ward off actual attacks." [19:15:05] "What type of attacks are you looking at preventing?" [19:15:36] "I've found myself facing up close physical attacks from monsters frequently as of late." [19:16:10] "Ah. The we do have the same type of armor I just sold your friend here fitted more for a human male. That would probably be the best I can offer." [19:16:27] "Anything more and while it would protect more, it would probably slow you down a bit." [19:16:47] (read: Their medium armor is either better in other categories or has some penalties.) [19:17:41] "Hmmm that is too bad then. I guess I'll keep looking then." [19:18:04] "I hope you have a nice day then sir. And anything for you?" (referring to Danica) [19:18:57] "I don't carry much money, so I doubt you have anything that would be useful to me that would also be within my price range." [19:19:16] "You would be surprised. What would you like?" [19:20:19] "Something that doesn't show. I am forbidden from appearing as anything else than what I am." [19:20:48] "I think I have the thing for you then." [19:21:10] "I know I have it around here somewhere..." [19:21:32] "Ah! He... oh. Not quite what I was thinking of. It wouldn't show, but I'm not so sure you would want this." [19:21:42] he points to a garter belt [19:22:27] "No, I don't see any benefit to wearing that." [19:23:10] "I'm sorry. Have a nice day!" [19:23:25] "Likewise, sir." [19:23:56] Danica, did you want any particular occult supplies? [19:24:04] or just general supplies like what you mentioned? [19:24:12] just general stuff I might need. [19:24:26] and some empty potion vials. [19:24:58] okay. You buy some from a rather creepy shopkeeper that perpetually has shadows in her face. [19:25:21] (You know for such mundane stuff you could just ask for it and Alen will already have it.) [19:25:52] so now I think Alen was going to roll streetwise to figure out who would sell lockpicks. [19:25:55] or at least admit to selling them. [19:25:57] yeah [19:26:01] !roll d20+38 [19:26:01] * !Diebot sees that Alen rolled 41 [3]. [19:26:13] do I have any idea is the next question [19:26:19] no, you don't. [19:26:33] that bonus is all int modifier. My streetwise is only basic. [19:26:56] so, now the investigatory shopping? [19:27:02] yeah [19:27:04] or was there anything else people wanted for themselves? [19:27:04] yup [19:28:16] what in particular are you going for? [19:28:19] oh [19:28:43] camera to document the artifacts we find now that we don't have a camera man. [19:28:51] but that can wait till offline. [19:29:10] I would like to move to the interrogating portion of this shopping trip. :) [19:29:22] okay. [19:29:26] You know that is all you guys right? [19:29:39] (Alen does not have high social skills) [19:29:57] I only have a 15 charm so it might be all upto Danica. [19:30:43] that means you rolled your charm check wrong, but I guess it's not a huge deal. You most certainly got creamed anyways. [19:30:59] your charm check -15 with only 15 charm is actually d20-10 [19:31:18] since the check total with 15 charm is only +5 [19:31:27] oh [19:31:37] sorry charm is 25 [19:31:45] ahh [19:31:46] I rolled it correctly. I just mistyped. [19:31:55] that's above average at least so you are fine [19:32:00] Alen is the one with 15 charm stat [19:32:25] Ok. I will give it my best shot. [19:32:32] although we forgot to appease diebot again [19:32:47] It doesn't work for appeasing him anyways. [19:32:49] so, you had mentioned some ideas before as to where. [19:32:57] most of those types of shops wouldn't be in the diplo sector. [19:33:06] lumber, stone and metal merchants [19:33:08] True, we may have to move around more. [19:33:13] then laborers if we strike out. [19:33:58] I'm assuming that we would find the laborers eating since it is early evening or evening now depending on how long we shopped. [19:34:06] evening now. [19:34:13] I'm assuming we don't even know where to look for laborers. [19:34:18] that's not true. [19:34:18] We'll have to ask around town for that first. [19:34:39] you arrived closer to the docks, and you're sure there were lots of laborers around there. [19:34:54] ah [19:35:05] but finding lumber, metal, and stone? Yeah, you'll have to ask around for directions. [19:35:14] I guess I'll try to make use of the streetwise to see if I can find where they might like to go gossip. [19:35:18] It'll probably end up being a bar. [19:35:23] are there any guards around? [19:35:46] Livak: Now that you mention it... no. You haven't seen a single guard since you arrived. [19:35:47] wait here's another question. [19:36:12] "You know what I find strange about this city. I haven't seen one sign of a guard since we got here." [19:36:15] "Hmm if we are looking to find a library under construction, might there not be some kind of public notice about such places being temporarily closed?" [19:36:38] "In a city office or some such place." [19:36:39] "There might be but where would they put those notices in such a big city?" [19:37:31] is there anyone on the street? [19:37:35] lots of people. [19:37:57] Is there any newspaper boys? [19:38:12] yes, there are. [19:38:35] "Maybe the newspaper will tell us." [19:38:40] * Livak walks up the newspaper boy [19:38:54] "Hello. I would like to buy one of your papers. How much?" [19:39:15] !roll d100 [19:39:15] * !Diebot sees that Evil_EM rolled 57 [57]. [19:39:20] "5 gil miss!" [19:39:28] * Livak pays him 5 gil. [19:40:33] what'cha looking for? [19:41:03] road closures, anything mentioning libraries. [19:41:35] !roll d100 [19:41:36] * !Diebot sees that Evil_EM rolled 73 [73]. [19:41:43] * Livak takes the paper back to Danica and Alen. [19:41:46] After awhile, you see a full page notice about library closures. [19:42:17] basicall "Continuing our Modernization Efforts, here are the dates/times that our local libraries will be closed." [19:42:40] How many are closed? [19:42:47] now that is. [19:43:01] right now? 3, but they're all scheduled to open tomorrow. [19:43:02] and is it changing as soon as tomorrow? [19:43:05] three more will be closed tomorrow. [19:43:39] "Alright so it looks like we have 6 possiblities since we don't know if Mr. Upton is at the beginning of restoration project or the end." [19:44:09] I'm guessing these 6 are scattered all over? [19:44:13] actually no. [19:44:18] all six are in the same general area. [19:44:34] ok then, if we go to that area I'll draw a map of the local streets near them. [19:44:42] Then we are covered for getting there quickly from the Hotel [19:45:03] sounds like a plan. [19:45:55] heading toward there on foot? [19:46:06] you have a bit of a journey to get there if you do so. [19:46:12] unless we want to hire a taxi [19:46:29] But I"m not the group leader here, Dancia and Livak. [19:47:10] I'm not familiar with taxis. [19:47:35] I think we should hire a taxi to get there and walk back to the hotel. This will help us orient ourselves for tomorrow. [19:47:46] I can teleport us back to the hotel [19:47:56] I drew a map of the streets near the hotel already [19:47:57] or that. [19:48:58] so, hiring a taxi? [19:49:08] it seems so [19:49:29] they have booths in the diplo sector for just that. [19:49:33] so it is pretty easy to figure out. [19:50:13] a young lady ends up arriving in a fairly typical modern car, only painted to look more like a carriage. [19:50:20] heh [19:50:43] What is the area with the libraries called? [19:51:12] it doesn't have a general name that you're aware of, but you have the addresses of all of them. [19:51:13] Does the paper list any street names? We could just have oursevles taken to a nearby street there. [19:51:39] the corner of such and such street [19:52:00] "... really gov'na, that's where you wan ta go?" [19:52:12] (haha!) [19:52:16] "Why? Is there some problem?" [19:52:25] "That's... not a nice part o' Berv." [19:53:36] "I can take ya there if ya want but... I'll be lockin' the ol' steel box on the way." [19:54:01] "That is where we want to go." [19:54:18] "All right, Bessy's your car then." [19:54:42] the three of you sit in the back. Quarters are a bit tight, but not terrible. [19:54:53] Danica, could you give me an observation check? [19:55:22] Only Dancia eh [19:55:23] !drop1 2d20+88 [19:55:24] * !Diebot sees that Danica rolled 105 [17 3]. [19:55:32] with double moderate support. :) [19:55:39] * Alen has major obs support now [19:55:48] you notice a holy symbol tattoo on the back of her right wrist. [19:56:00] ahhh [19:56:02] * Danica was thinking of going with that, but decided to not cut into her auto-miss for it. [19:57:13] from the quick glance you had, it looks very familiar. A slight derivation off of your own. [19:57:55] saying anything about it? [19:58:20] no, I don't see it worth mentioning. [19:58:26] okay. [19:58:40] after a bit of a drive, you can see now what she meant by the wrong part of town. [19:59:02] there is a large highway going above a strip of land, looking very impressive... until you see what is just past it. [19:59:20] slums, shantytowns, things that even by medieval standards would be barely livable. [19:59:28] all signs of a city that has grown way too fast. [19:59:46] and the libraries are right in this area? [19:59:53] Do those buildings stand out? [20:00:03] yes. They're actual buildings. [20:00:09] "This is strange. Is there really a library around here?" [20:01:33] "Aye. Miss Varia has made good sure that every'ere has access to 'ooks. Took a few of the ol' guardhouses and right changed them into booklabs." [20:02:57] "Some o' the best ones are right dab in the middle of Johnny's Jail even. The idea is to let people do their own learnin' while the rest of the system catches up." [20:03:37] "Access to books is all well and good, but shouldn't other things take priority, like running water, electricity and hospitals? It looks downright unhealthy to live here." [20:04:43] "Those things take learnin' to do. Five years ago the ol' city was like this... much smaller and less crowded, of course, but our only water was the ol' Layfka [river] and we done never heard of that electricity." [20:04:54] "Doctors need learning first." [20:05:12] "I suppose that's a good point." [20:05:40] "I never said I agree - I jus' know why. Here we are!" [20:06:30] so I guess we settle the taxi bill and step out [20:06:47] the driver refuses to take money. [20:07:06] "It ain't right chargin' a nun. It's on me." [20:07:14] ahhh [20:07:42] "If you insist. Thank you." [20:08:07] the taxi driver leaves shortly after. [20:08:22] probably concerned with the safety of the metal on the car. [20:08:36] So, now is the quesion of if we get accosted before I can draw a map of the streets near the libraries. [20:08:57] this place looks rough. Not really "gonna get stabbed" level of rough, but given the relative wealth of the area, you can see why people would be concerned. [20:09:09] * Alen also keeps a sharp lookout for trouble while making the map. [20:09:30] * Livak watches out for Alen while he draws the map [20:09:36] of course we are visibly armed so we might be ok. [20:09:50] Livak with swords and Alen with a gun. [20:10:05] And who would mug a nun, really? [20:10:13] no clue [20:10:23] I wouldn't. [20:10:34] Yeah you might get punched in the face. [20:11:19] all three of you, observation checks. Alen, take a -15 since you're concentrating on drawing. [20:11:31] !drop1 2d20+88 [20:11:31] * !Diebot sees that Danica rolled 93 [5 3]. [20:11:38] !roll d20+62 [20:11:39] * !Diebot sees that Alen rolled 81 [19]. [20:11:42] major support for me [20:12:28] !roll d20+63 [20:12:28] * !Diebot sees that Livak rolled 68 [5]. [20:12:34] mod support for me [20:12:52] 2*mod support for me. [20:12:59] (Even the least obsrvent in this group is pretty observant.) [20:13:21] there are several street urchins moving about, sizing you up... and then leaving. [20:14:35] Alen, how detailed are you going? [20:15:01] not all that detailed, though I have an ability that lets me draw at least semi-detailed maps Waaay faster than normal. [20:15:09] I don't wnat to stick around too long [20:15:47] right, I was just wondering how detailed that was getting. [20:16:22] Well, they aren't super detailed, but my maps do contain 3D detail even if they are hastely drawn. [20:16:33] all right then. [20:16:38] you get the general area while walking around. [20:16:55] there is one particular section that seems more built up than the rest, so you probably spend a bit of extra time there. [20:17:45] * Evil_EM is trying to find a picture [20:17:48] When we are done I'll pull out the map of the hotel area and teleport us there. [20:17:55] assuming nothing happens before then [20:19:11] I'm also a master of cartography, unlike my basic streetwise. [20:19:43] http://raph.com/3dartists/artgallery/6354.jpg <- there it is. That's more like how this area looks, for a stark comparison. [20:20:09] nice [20:20:33] anyway, while you get lots of stares, you aren't there long enough to get accosted except by a couple of beggars. [20:21:05] Dancia can decide if we give them anything or not. [20:21:35] yeah, I hand out a bit of money. [20:21:46] If you want Alen can also pull out food to give them instead of just money. [20:22:05] you are thanked and left alone at that point. [20:22:11] so you finish your map unaccosted. [20:22:19] and teleport back. [20:23:26] ok [20:23:51] anything else this night? [20:24:34] I don't think so. It's probably getting latish. [20:24:35] not that I can think of. [20:24:35] I can't think of anything else. [20:25:22] check in, eat some dinner then sleep and get up earlish [20:25:29] all right, you check in and sit down for a meal. [20:25:31] sounds like a good plan. [20:25:33] yeah, same. [20:25:43] Yanthia is actually in the restaurant area, but no sign of Mr. Cuthrell. [20:25:56] I'll also make some effort to clean my clothes as well as myself. [20:26:04] yeah good idea [20:26:31] Probably a bath is needed for all of us so that we dont' look like adventures tomorrow [20:26:52] no, we'll still look like adventurers. As I have no intention of leaving my weapon behind. [20:26:56] And neither do you I'm sure. [20:27:23] But we might be able to pass ourselves off as being more scolars and less adventurers. [20:27:37] true but at least we wouldnt smell. [20:28:25] not smelling is good. [20:29:28] I'll even clean my armor. [20:29:37] (Yanthia): "So, did you all complete your shopping?" [20:29:45] (which is just leather and runic at the moment) [20:29:58] (it took me twelve tries to have that line be gramatically correct thanks to that taxi driver) [20:30:09]
