(3.5) Elemental Plane of Candy/Candy Land play-test data.

[DracoDei]

((EDIT: Other information on this campaign, especially cosmology, may be found HERE.))


Two separate threads in the past, don't want to necro, but play-test data is rarer than hens teeth around here... so going to cut-paste the log of the first session... note that the stuff BEFORE they get Plane-Shifted is important since it establishes a hidden danger of the plane.

[10:28] * Spheniscine isn't too good at multitasking
[10:28] DracoDei: I think Robin might have said his attendence may be erratic.
[10:28] Spheniscine: Ah.
[10:28] Spheniscine: Yeah. ._.
[10:29] DracoDei: Having your character sheets open in seperate windows so that both can be seen at once, or at least so rapid switching in possible is good.

[10:40] DracoDei: --Session Start---
[10:40] DracoDei: You all knew eachother previously to this, having spared with eachother at one time or another.
[10:41] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: *gnaws on stick*
[10:42] Spheniscine: Back.
[10:42] DracoDei: You went in together to buy a ticket for a charity raffle that would allow the winner and several of their friends an all expenses paid trip to the Elemental Plane of Candy.
[10:42] DracoDei: Much to your surprise you won@
[10:42] DracoDei: !
[10:42] Spheniscine: Yay!
[10:42] * WagzBot looks up at the exclamation and hopes it means a muffin is coming.
[10:42] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: :3
[10:43] *** Remus_ has joined #DracoD&D.
[10:43] *** Remus has left #DracoD&D.
[10:43] DracoDei: You have each been issued a magical pebble (they grumbled greatly about having to make a really small one for Clemaxgra, but the terms of the contract were clear).
[10:43] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: ((aint cho joining?))
[10:44] Spheniscine: Cho = Pallas.
[10:44] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: o
[10:45] *** Remus_ is now known as Remus.
[10:45] *** Remus has signed off IRC (Changing hosts).
[10:45] *** Remus has joined #DracoD&D.
[10:45] DracoDei: These pebbles have a tooth cleaning and gum stimulating cantrip that activates when sucked on, lasts 5 minutes per use, and can be used up to 3 times per day.
[10:46] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon puts a pebble on his nose and stares at it
[10:47] Pallas: Does Hesiod need one as well?
[10:48] DracoDei: You were instructed to bring enough meat for Hesiod if she(?) isn't going to eat chocolate frogs.
[10:48] DracoDei: Etc.
[10:49] DracoDei: And so the day of your departure arrives!
[10:50] Pallas: (he)
[10:50] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: XD
[10:51] DracoDei: You are in the local transporteer's hall ((so if you want to get in some IC roleplay there or cover some OOC character descriptions, now would be the time.))
[10:51] Remus: ((Draco can you check that i prepared spells right?))
[10:52] DracoDei: ((Sure, just a sec...))
[10:54] DracoDei: ((Yep, you even remembered the house-rule that I had forgotten))
[10:54] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon headtilts
[10:54] Remus: ((Sweet ^^))
[10:54] * Pallas looks around the transporteer's hall and shifts her wings a bit underneath her cloak. Hesiod shifts on her shoulder and tucks his head underneath a wings quietly after a quick look around. Her claws tap the floor lightly as she paces the hall.
[10:55] DracoDei: You have been informed that the plane should be no more dangerous than the one you are on now on the whole.. the guild mage will stay with you until your local guild arrives...
[10:55] * Remus stretches out, makes sure he's got all of his stuff
[10:56] Remus: ((Question, as to the status of my familiar?))
[10:56] * Pallas casts a glance at a small child also in the hall. He stares at her curiously and she stares back stonily. She briefly wonders where the child is going.
[10:57] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon gnaws on the wooden shield on his tail, holding it with his two foreclaws as he watches curiously at everyone else, making sure not to be accidentally left behind
[10:57] * Pallas is used to stares, and amongst her unusual companions, people don't even bother to hide their eyes
[10:57] DracoDei: People vanish from the designated gathering areas in groups, or from where-ever at random in pairs or trios with the transport magi.
[10:58] * Pallas takes a step toward the child and gauges his reaction carefully.
[10:58] Pallas: (OOC: Do I make him react or do you?)
[10:58] DracoDei: Appearances are in rooms.
[10:59] DracoDei: ((Either in general for stuff like that... but usually me...))
[10:59] Pallas: (what would you like in this case?)
[10:59] DracoDei: Customs officials examine the incoming people and goods.
[10:59] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon tugs at sphen's pants, wanting a lift for a better view around him
[10:59] DracoDei: ((I will do it.))
[11:00] *** You are now known as Boy.
[11:00] * Boy half raise his hand, then puts it down abruptly...
[11:01] Boy: Can I pet your leg kitty lady?
[11:01] * Remus pulls his cloak over his head
[11:01] * Pallas looks down at her leg and then moves her cloak back to allow better access
[11:02] Pallas: Where are you going, Child?
[11:02] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon nips sphen at the leg for apparently ignoring clem's request
[11:02] Boy: The moon I think, but whenever I tell my daddy that he says no, we aren't, and uses a lot of big words I don't understand.
[11:03] * Pallas smiles
[11:03] Spheniscine: Hello.
[11:03] WagzBot: nihao
[11:03] Spheniscine: (Grah)
[11:03] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon falsl over
[11:03] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: falls*
[11:03] * Spheniscine lifts Clem
[11:04] * Boy pets Pallas's knee in a nervous sort of way, then becoming more sure of his invitation.
[11:04] Pallas: The moon sounds like a wonderful destination. Sometimes in the woods at night, I can hear wolves singing to the moon. Would you sing back to them from the moon?
[11:04] * Remus hums to himself
[11:05] Boy: I wouldn
[11:05] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon sits comfortably on sphen's shoulder and can easily see pallas talking to a girl o.o
[11:05] Boy: 't be able to hear them would I?
[11:06] *** You are now known as Father.
[11:06] Father: Come on Thomas, the magic user is here to transport us.
[11:06] *** You are now known as Boy.
[11:06] Pallas: No. But you'd still know they're singing.
[11:06] Pallas: And they'd know you're singing.
[11:07] Boy: I have to go now kitty lady.
[11:07] *** You are now known as GM.
[11:07] Pallas: Good-bye, Thomas. Have a nice trip.
[11:07] GM: The Boy, his father, and the transporteer vanish in a puff of pink smoke that smells slightly of onions.
[11:08] * Remus sneezes at the smell
[11:08] * Pallas wrinkles her nose and Hesiod wakes and gives a squwak
[11:09] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon sniff sniffs a lil and thinks thats an odd smell
[11:09] * Pallas pets Hesiod to calm him down
[11:10] GM: A non-spellcasting employee of the guild that is doing your transport comes over.
[11:10] * Remus nods to the employee as he approaches
[11:10] GM: You are the group that is going to the Elemental Plane of Candy?
[11:10] * Pallas also nods
[11:10] Pallas: Yes.
[11:10] Remus: That we are
[11:11] GM: She looks you over carefully....
[11:11] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon headtilts then answers with a yip
[11:11] GM: ((Anyone interested to know WHAT she is looking at should roll a spot check.))
[11:12] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: (??)
[11:12] Remus: dice 1d20

[11:13] WagzBot: Results of die roll(s): 17; Total: 17.
[11:13] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: 22
[11:13] Pallas: (is having trouble locating)
[11:14] GM: Ok, Remus you note that she is looking at y'alls hand-paws. ((I assume there are no mules etc in the party?))
[11:14] Remus: Pallas: +4
[11:14] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: ((claws for me))
[11:15] Remus: ((was ooc))
[11:15] Remus: Curious, my friend?
[11:15] Pallas: 20
[11:15] Remus: ((BRB))
[11:16] GM: ((She also seems to be looking at you back-packs, which, by the way, are all a bit patched and worn.))
[11:16] GM: May I see your ticket?
[11:16] *** Mode change "+v Remus" for channel #DracoD&D by GM.
[11:17] GM: ((((We will say Pallas has the ticket.))
[11:17] GM: (((Since I think that Cho has the most RP experience.))
[11:17] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon shows the employee his pebble-thingy
[11:18] * Pallas draws out the ticket and holds it
[11:18] Pallas: *holds it up
[11:18] GM: ((So making her the party "leader" make sense in some situations.... which DOESN'T mean you have to do what she says in any way, shape, or form, thus the quotes.))
[11:18] Pallas: ((not recommended :-P))
[11:19] *** You are now known as Hostess.
[11:19] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon ish too tiny to be party leader :P
[11:19] * Hostess examines it.
[11:19] Hostess: I think...
[11:20] Hostess: My sincere appologies, but your transport may be delayed...
[11:20] Pallas: May I ask why?
[11:20] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon growls in annoyance at the hostess
[11:20] * Pallas puts out a hand to quiet clem
[11:21] * Remus briefly wonders where Saleth got off to, only to have him trot up to him, caught mouse held high.
[11:21] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon flops on his belly, curled up while still on sphen's shoulder
[11:21] Hostess: Your contract is only for a planar transportation, such things are very inaccurate, so we usually offer a fine-tuning teleporation as well.
[11:21] * Remus chuckles and pets the cat
[11:21] Hostess: In this case, however, the transporteer was to wait for a local guide before leaving instead.
[11:22] Pallas: So there has been an error then?
[11:22] Remus: Our local guide running a bit late?
[11:22] Hostess: No no.
[11:22] Hostess: Just that because of that, your transport must be the last done before your transporteer refreshes his spells.
[11:23] Hostess: And with priority transports being arranged, sometimes we have to delay.
[11:23] Pallas: What does that mean in regards to time?
[11:23] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon hopes it doesnt mean for another day >.>
[11:24] Hostess: Perhaps nothing, I shall have to double check.
[11:24] Hostess: If not, then I am very sorry to say it could be a few days... there is just no way of telling.
[11:24] Pallas: This seems a bit...odd. If I may speak to one of your supervisors.
[11:25] Hostess: ((Sense motive checks for whoever is paying attention to this.))
[11:25] Pallas: (Draco, may I do a roll)
[11:25] Hostess: ((Just roll and tell me what for, you don't have to ask first in most cases.))
[11:25] *** You have been disconnected. Fri Nov 06 11:25:41 2009.

[11:29] Hostess: Certainly if you wish, but I was only warning you of a possibility, let me check with your transporteer...
[11:29] Pallas: Thank you.
[11:29] * Hostess goes off and has a heated discussion in a corner with one of the transporteers.
[11:29] *** DracoDei is now known as Transporteer.
[11:29] Pallas: Clemaxgra
[11:29] Pallas: Please, follow her and listen
[11:30] * Pallas takes Cleam off of Sphen and sets him onto the floor.
[11:30] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon headtilts

[11:31] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: hide27
[11:31] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: listen23
[11:32] Hostess: Ok, you manage to catch the last half of the conversation.
[11:34] Pallas: ping?
[11:34] WagzBot: pong!
[11:35] Hostess: ((Was handling that in PM.))
[11:36] Pallas: ((Just wanted to be sure my Internet didn't die again.))
[11:36] Spheniscine: Prah... I'm so out of this... >.<
[11:36] Spheniscine: I'm having an argument... ._.
[11:36] Remus: ((hmm?))
[11:37] * Hostess comes over, walking quickly, and thus gets ahead of Clemaxgra unless Clem decides to dash for it, and risk getting stepped on.
[11:38] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon decides not to, but decides to stay hidden and return to pallas when transporteer isnt looking
[11:38] Hostess: I am sorry for the confusion. This may sound a bit odd, but could you show me any maps you may have been given, as well as your expense account vouchers?
[11:38] Pallas: That does sound odd. May I ask the reason you need to see them?
[11:39] * Hostess is a female human, wearing the traditional cloak of the transporteers, a patchwork with each patch representing a different continent or plane.
[11:39] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: dice 1d20
[11:39] WagzBot: Results of die roll(s): 14; Total: 14.
[11:39] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: 19 Move Silently
[11:39] * Remus blinks, coming back to reality with a thud
[11:40] Remus: Expense account vouchers?
[11:40] Hostess: *The overall effect of the cloak is pretty ugly.*
[11:41] Hostess: Because while we are not responsible for such things directly, if we transported you into a less than teniable situation, we could get in trouble.
[11:41] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon sneaks back to pallas?
[11:42] Hostess: So we need to make sure that you have both the means of finding everything you might need, and the where-with-all to obtain it.
[11:43] Hostess: Otherwise, under my oaths, may need a special release from you if you insist on proceeding.
[11:44] Pallas: May I ask where the young man and his father before us went?
[11:44] Hostess: Who was that?
[11:44] WagzBot: I dunno.
[11:44] Pallas: The young man went by the name of Thomas.
[11:45] * Remus digs around in his pack, pulls out a roll of maps, and offers them to Pallas
[11:45] Pallas: Thank you, Remus.
[11:45] Hostess: ((Ok, in context, that is like asking where a random person who got on an airplane went.))
[11:45] Pallas: ((Okay, question withdrawn))
[11:45] Pallas: ((In my mind the halls are uncrowded and quiet))
[11:46] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon whispers something at pallas
[11:46] Hostess: ((They are small enough to be crowded and you have major goods shipments going through))
[11:47] Hostess: ((And really small airports aren't crowded either...))
[11:47] Remus: ((Confused about the Expense account Vouchers? what is meant by that?))
[11:47] Pallas: Remus, could you talk to the Transporteer for a moment. I need to adjust my cloak. It's chafing against my wings.
[11:47] * Pallas hands the maps and ticket to Remus
[11:47] * Remus blinks
[11:48] Hostess: ((All expenses paid trip -> you have documents that you can show to people that they can put it on the charities tab.))
[11:48] Remus: ((ah))
[11:48] Hostess: ((You each have one.))
[11:48] * Pallas looks in Remus' eyes and tries to discern his comfort level, offering to take back the ticket
[11:48] * Remus smiles uncomfortably
[11:49] * Pallas takes back the ticket
[11:49] Pallas: Please speak to the Transporteer. I'll only be a moment
[11:49] Hostess: ((DC 20 Int check to realize on the spur of the moment that those are in the name of the charity, and technically have nothing to do with the transporteers directly.))
[11:49] * Pallas goes to the corner to adjust her cloak
[11:49] Pallas: dice 1 d20
[11:50] Pallas: dice 1d20
[11:50] WagzBot: Results of die roll(s): 11; Total: 11.
[11:50] Remus: ((For who?))
[11:50] * Hostess examines the map, and pulls out a wand and almost activates it... then puts it back in his pocket.
[11:50] Hostess: ((HAs anyone given him a voucher yet?))
[11:50] * Remus smiles as best he can at the Transporteer
[11:50] * Pallas listens to Clemaxgra as she adjusts her cloak
[11:50] Hostess: ((Anyone who is listening to the conversation can roll the INT check))
[11:51] Remus: ((I have not))
[11:51] Remus: dice 1d20
[11:51] WagzBot: Results of die roll(s): 7; Total: 7.
[11:51] Pallas: ((Which conversation?)
[11:51] Hostess: ((The one between the transporteer and whoever is talking to him at the moment.))
[11:52] Remus: 11
[11:52] Pallas: ((Would a concentration check help with Clem's message or is that all I get?)
[11:53] Hostess: ((Whatever he types to you is what he says, and what you get.))
[11:54] Hostess: ((Unless he is AFK,, in which case I can fill in for him a bit.))
[11:54] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: ((aint afk o-o))
[11:54] * Pallas returns.
[11:55] * Remus makes way for Pallas
[11:55] * Pallas smiles at Remus
[11:55] Pallas: Transporteer, do you have a name? I feel silly just calling you by your job title.
[11:56] Hostess: Oh, sorry... Susan. (Holds out hand.)
[11:56] Hostess: It is just that we usually work with a group for all of 2 minutes, if that much.
[11:56] * Pallas shakes Susan's hand gently, careful of her claws
[11:57] Hostess: And you are?
[11:57] *** Transporteer is now known as Susan.
[11:57] * Hostess hands the map back.
[11:57] Pallas: My name is Pallas, and my compatriots are Remus, Spheniscine and Clemaxgra.
[11:57] Pallas: ((Is there skunk here too?)
[11:57] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon sneaks to remus and acts as if he was there the whole time
[11:57] * Remus rolls the map back up and places it in his pack
[11:58] Hostess: ((Ah, yes... but he tends to fade into the background... NPC style))
[11:58] * Remus sniffs Clem
[11:58] Pallas: Susan, do you have a concern that I can help you with? I feel you're not being forthcoming.
[11:59] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon wonders if he is smelling different from usual *sniffs self*
[11:59] Hostess: ((Diplomacy check.))
[12:00] Pallas: ((last time I read it wrong. It's a minus - my bad and apologies for that mistake))
[12:00] Pallas: dice 1 d20
[12:00] Pallas: dice 1d20
[12:00] WagzBot: Results of die roll(s): 12; Total: 12.
[12:00] Pallas: 11
[12:00] Spheniscine: ((Prah... I'm not feeling too good...))
[12:01] Hostess: Oh, nothing too out of the usual. It is just we are worried that you might not be quite prepared... it is easy to get sick to your stomach after a few days on that particular plane, and we wanted to make sure you knew where to find more nurishing fare.
[12:02] Hostess: And that you wouldn't have to pay out of your own pockets for it.
[12:03] Pallas: Yet when the Hostess saw our ticket she would have known we were the winners of the Event so she would have known we would have expense vouchers.
[12:04] Hostess: You could see how we would be cautious when the whole plane is basically made of food, but bread and meat amd greens are in short supply...
[12:04] Remus: ((Wasn't Susan the hostess?))
[12:04] Pallas: ((No, Hostess = no name, Susan = transporteer)
[12:04] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: ((hostess =/= transporteer))
[12:05] Remus: ((I was thinking that was just Draco not changing his name *read back up*))
[12:05] Pallas: ((Query: Did Remus share his noticing of the Hostess looking at our unusual features?))
[12:06] Hostess: In theory, but we are just hired by the Orphans of the Sea, and we don't necessarily know the TERMS of those vouchers.
[12:06] Remus: ((I did not, should I? >.<))
[12:06] Pallas: ((It would be an appreciated whisper))
[12:06] Hostess: ((I keep trying to change my name... but it still shows to me as "Hostess".))
[12:06] Pallas: ((Or even appreciated comment to all))
[12:07] Pallas: You don't know the terms by which you work?
[12:09] * Remus whispers to Clem about the Hostess and asks him to pass it on
[12:10] Hostess: Our job is basically to get you there and back. What is between is our responsibility only in as much as we are not supposed to leave people in unteniable circumstances, except under very specific circumstances, such as dropping off treasure-seekers outside of the tomb of someone vain and foolish enough to be burried with a sizable fraction of their worldly goods.
[12:11] Hostess: The local guide and the expense vouchers are completely seperate from us.
[12:11] Pallas: I see.
[12:14] * clemaxgra-pocketdragon crawls onto pallas's shoulder and waits for her to stop talking, not wanting to be rude nor wanting Susan to overhear what Remus told clem
[12:14] Pallas: ((Does Susan wear gloves?))
[12:14] Hostess: In all frankness she was checking the ticket for the duration of the stay.
[12:14] Hostess: ((No gloves))
[12:15] * Pallas listens to Clemaxgra
[12:15] Hostess: She was trying to handle things as politely as possible, so you really can't blame her.
[12:15] * Pallas also looks over Susan's hands
[12:15] Pallas: ((Does she have any cuts or scrapes on her hands
[12:15] Pallas: ))
[12:16] Hostess: ((Err... no...))
[12:16] Hostess: ((Why do you ask?))
[12:16] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: roll 1d20
[12:16] Pallas: ((Does she have any cuts or scrapes anywhere visible, or does anyone in the party?))
[12:16] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: dice 1d20
[12:16] WagzBot: Results of die roll(s): 2; Total: 2.
[12:16] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: 7 spot o-o
[12:18] Hostess: ((Ummm.... Spheniscine managed to bump his head on a sharp rock going for a hyperactive swim to burn off some of the excitement of the trip this morning... barely visible under the skin.))
[12:18] Hostess: (I mean fur...))
[12:18] Pallas: Susan...
[12:19] Pallas: My friend here...
[12:19] Pallas: He's injured.
[12:19] Pallas: What would you do for him if I ask your help?
[12:19] * Pallas shows Susan the scratch
[12:20] Hostess: ((Ok, this is spiralling WAY out of control... where are you going with this? I am trying to set up a comparatively minor plot point for later.))
[12:21] Pallas: ((I'm using what Clem told me))
[12:21] Hostess: ((Yes, but for WHAT?))
[12:22] Hostess: ((I have no way of knowing exactly what he told you BTW.))
[12:22] Hostess: ((Since I assume he did it in PM.))
[12:22] Pallas: ((To prove we don't need medicine/meds/to be healed because I'm a healer))
[12:22] Hostess: ((Oy....))
[12:22] * Remus sighs, shows Susan his voucher
[12:22] Pallas: ((...))
[12:23] Pallas: ((sorry))
[12:23] Remus: May we go?
[12:23] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: ((sorry, count it as clem fell asleep from all the running about. gtg to bed o-o))
[12:23] Hostess: ((Ok))
[12:23] Remus: ((Night Clem))
[12:24] Pallas: ((night Clem))
[12:24] clemaxgra-pocketdragon: ((nini guys ^^))
[12:24] Hostess: ((Hold on a second...))
[12:24] * Remus picks Clem up and slides him into a pouch on his pack to keep him safe
[12:24] Hostess: ((Got to check the rules on a spell, but Pallas should make a wisdom check...))
[12:25] Pallas: dice 1d20
[12:25] WagzBot: Results of die roll(s): 13; Total: 13.
[12:25] Pallas: 17
[12:27] Pallas: ((Hmmm...I think I did that wrong...
[12:27] Pallas: ))
[12:27] Pallas: ((Is it add the score or add the mod))
[12:27] Hostess: *Pallas completely over-heals the tiny scratch with her nature powers, and then interupts Susan before Susan can point out that that particular spell is completely and utterly useless against the problem in question.))
[12:27] Hostess: ((Add the mod.))
[12:27] Pallas: ((Ok))
[12:28] Hostess: *Pallas points out that she is a druid, and can feed the whole party off of a patch of berries if needs be.*
[12:28] Hostess: Ah!
[12:29] Hostess: Very well then... sorry, it doesn't pay to make assumptions of the preparedness of others when it comes to my job.
[12:30] * Remus nods
[12:30] Hostess: ((For anyone still not clear, the trip is for an undetermined length of time, but long enough that malnutrition or even pure diabetic shock might actually be issues.))
[12:30] Hostess: So you can understand my caution.
[12:30] * Hostess examines the vouchers.
[12:30] Hostess: *voucher
[12:31] Hostess: Well, assuming they are all teh same, which the probably are, then this does indeed cover purchasing food.
[12:32] Hostess: So if I set you up with a enchanted pointer on the map to the closest such off-planar friendly town to wherever we end up, then that should do well...
[12:32] Hostess: Or you can eat magic berries.
[12:33] Remus: I vote for the pointer
[12:33] Hostess: Well, that covers that, and your thinks have already been checked through customs, so, off we go then?
[12:33] Hostess: Certainly sir.
[12:33] Pallas: Thank you, Susan.
[12:34] Hostess: ((Note that the spell lists _Freshly Picked_ so you can't just take along a pot of blueberries.))
[12:35] Pallas: ((What??))
[12:35] Hostess: (( (Link: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/goo.../goodberry.htm ))
[12:35] Hostess: Casting goodberry upon a handful of freshly picked berries makes 2d4 of them magical.
[12:36] Pallas: ((okay)
[12:37] Hostess: ((Can we do the plane-shift now?))
[12:37] Remus: ((Let's))
[12:37] Hostess: ((And do people want to keep going another hour, or shall we make this a short session?))
[12:38] Remus: ((Hmmm.....))
[12:38] Pallas: ((I'll probably not sleep now anyhow since it's so late))
[12:39] Remus: ((Let's go on?))
[12:40] * Hostess puts on a magic helmet from the supply room, and you all go to the exit platform and vanish with the sound of a great gong, and a flash of purple light mixed with insubstancial glitters in the air at both ends of the transport.
[12:40] * Hostess turns around quickly, checking for wild animals.
[12:41] Hostess: You are standing on top of a small hillock of block dark chocolate., the scene is peaceful, and indeed, idillic.
[12:41] * Remus glances around, slightly amazed
[12:42] Hostess: *Green cotton-candy moss grows here and their on the chocolate boulders.*
[12:43] Remus: Everything is safe to eat, correct?
[12:43] * Pallas watches Hesiod stretch his wings and flutter
[12:43] Hostess: *The grass at the base of the slope looks approximately normal, but subtle off... you can't really tell from here (unless you have telescopic vision.)*
[12:43] Hostess: Yep!
[12:44] * Remus sets Saleth down
[12:44] * Hostess glances at Hesiod.
[12:44] * Remus pulls up a bit of the moss and tastes it
[12:45] * Pallas shifs a bit, the warmth of her body heat causing the chocolate to melt under her pawpads
[12:46] * Remus looks over at Susan
[12:46] Hostess: Don't let him go too high... some of the clouds aren't moisture, they are cotton candy *points to a cloud that is a pleasant shade of lilac* the sugar fibers are pretty loose from what I hear, but they still could foul wings in theory.
[12:46] Remus: we waiting here for our guide?
[12:46] Hostess: Yeah, give me a second and I can tell you how long it will be...
[12:47] Hostess: Remus tastes the cotton-candy.
[12:47] * Pallas whistles shrilly and Hesiod comes back down and perches on her shoulder
[12:47] * Hostess focuses as the gems on the helmet glow...
[12:48] Hostess: Pallas party, authorization number six five seven two.
[12:48] Hostess: *Pause*
[12:49] Hostess: One cat, and one owl, probably magically augmented as companions, be advised most of party are carnivores form anthropomorphs.
[12:50] Hostess: *Pause*
[12:50] Hostess: 8 hours, perhaps more, depending on... flowers? Is that supposed to be a joke?
[12:50] Hostess: *Pause*
[12:50] Hostess: Oh, I see. Sorry sir.
[12:51] Hostess: Is that all?
[12:51] *** Skittles has left #DracoD&D.
[12:51] Hostess: *Pause*
[12:51] Hostess: Bye.
[12:51] * Hostess removes helmet.
[12:51] Hostess: Ok...
[12:51] Hostess: Your guide will be here in about 8 hours.
[12:51] Pallas: In meantime...
[12:51] Hostess: The location my spell drops us at is very hard to control.
[12:51] Pallas: ?
[12:52] Hostess: In the mean time, feel free to look around...
[12:52] * Remus pulls out his map
[12:53] Hostess: If you can take care of yourself in the wilds of the world we just came from, then you should be fine here.
[12:53] Hostess: Oh, now that I know where we are, I will need to mark that...
[12:53] * Remus offers the map to Susan
[12:54] Hostess: You will have to hold it horizontally for this to work, otherwise the arrow tries to point through the paper, and ends up as just a dot...
[12:54] * Remus chuckles
[12:54] * Remus holds the map out horizontally
[12:54] Hostess: It will stay in the center rather than matching your position.
[12:54] * Hostess taps the map with the wand twice.
[12:54] Hostess: Biurich!
[12:55] Hostess: It just gives direction too, no distance...
[12:55] Hostess: Anyway, where are right here (points with finger).
[12:55] * Remus nods
[12:55] Hostess: A glowing arrow is now in the center of the map.
[12:56] Remus: where is the arrow pointing us to?
[12:56] Hostess: The nearest place you can get something OTHER than sugary stuff to eat.
[12:56] Hostess: It will be expensive, but the voucher I checked covers it.
[12:57] Hostess: Theoretically, so do the others.
[12:58] Hostess: And Pallas can find some of the local gum-drop bushes and enchant those.
[12:58] Hostess: Or whatever...
[12:58] * Remus nods
[13:00] Hostess: Clemaxgra walks down the hill, and plucks a few peices of grass... and keeps chewing... appears to be gum (mostlikely spearmint or peppermint from the flavor).
[13:00] Hostess: Just be back here by an hour after sunset...
[13:00] Pallas: Is that when our guide appears?
[13:01] Hostess: Oh, and have a care with the who and the cat when the guide arrives... he is not an anthropomorph, but he is intellegent of course, and he is a humming bird...
[13:02] Remus: ah....
[13:02] Hostess: Well, he said that if he has to detour to find a path with a supply of flowers for him to drink the cola from, he might be delayed a bit....
[13:03] Hostess: But I assume he has some way oif getting them open even at night, since he promised it wouldn't be over 12 hours from now.
[13:06] Hostess: ((Ok, my next set item is triggered by your heading to that town after getting tired of 24 hour a day sugar rushes/crashes... so feel frree to free-form... the guide will specify that he has next to NO offensive capabilities so if you run into a sugar-bear or whatever you he can only give advice on non-combat options... but that you look eminantly capable of handling yourself, what with the war-maul on Spheniscines back and all the claws and teeth you have.))
[13:07] Hostess: ((War maul = giant mallet))
[13:08] Hostess: ((I can continue to provide environmental details.))
[13:08] * Pallas has no desire to eat sugary confections and simply watches her compatriots do so
[13:09] * Remus offers Pallas a bit of chocolate
[13:11] Pallas: No thank you
[13:11] Hostess: A flock of peeps flies by in the middle distance.
[13:13] * Remus looks around for any trees
[13:13] Hostess: You see many trees.
[13:14] Hostess: Will you examine them closer?
[13:14] * Remus nods
[13:14] Remus: ((brb)
[13:14] Remus: ((back))
[13:15] * Remus walks over to the trees
[13:15] * Pallas idly walks behind Remus examining the trees as well
[13:15] * Pallas watches for signs of life
[13:17] Hostess: *Remus finds twizzler willows, broad-leafed fruit-roll-up magnolias (except not rolled up), and many variety of cola flowering trees.... most of the bodies of the trees seem ordinary enough (IE wood, not candy).
[13:18] Hostess: A gummipillar noms one of the fruit-leaves.
[13:18] Hostess: ((Pallas: To quote Spock "Life... but not as we know it."))
[13:18] *** Susan is now known as GM.
[13:20] * Remus climbs up into one of the magnolias
[13:21] Hostess: ((The cola flowers are normal looking flowers, but with much more nectar... except it is carbonated nectar, and often has some other flavor to it...))
[13:21] Hostess: ((Same for the ones growing on the ground.))
[13:22] Hostess: ((I think I will let Cho and Spheniscine get to their rest in about 10 more minutes.))
[13:23] * Pallas goes over to the trees and touches the trunk of one experimentally
[13:23] * Remus tastes the nectar of one of the flowers
[13:23] Hostess: ((Firm bark, definitely not candy.))
[13:23] Hostess: ((Sugary carbonated water... no other flavor to that one.))
[13:24] Remus: bleh
[13:24] * Remus sniffs another
[13:25] * Pallas uses her claws to scrape a few pieces off and takes it with her in a leather pouch
[13:25] * Remus tastes the new flower
[13:25] Hostess: *Remus sniffs around (or later randomly scents) one with a slightly under-flavored lemon-lime taste to it... and one isolated flower with a few sips of really good root-beer.))
[13:26] * Remus climbs down from the tree
[13:26] Remus: mm... tasty ^^
[13:27] * Remus glances at the sky
[13:27] * Pallas picks some of the spearmint gum grass and chews it
[13:29] Hostess: White clouds dot the sky along with more colorful ones. The blue is the same, the sun is the same... but if you had to guess, you woudl say the moon is a giant, chipped surface, jaw-breaker....
[13:30] Hostess: Pallas sees a small rustle in the grass, and uses her animal empathy to attract the mini-muffin mouse to her.
[13:31] * Pallas holds her hand out to the mini-muffin mouse
[13:32] Hostess: ((Ok, officially ending the PL:AY here, but I realized I am not ready to end the SESSION.))
[13:32] Remus: Saleth sneaks over to Pallas and sniffs the mini-muffin mouse
[13:32] Hostess: --------=END PLAY=---------------------
[13:32] Remus: ((hmm?))
[13:32] Remus: explain?
[13:33] Hostess: Well, people who need to go to bed can if they like, but I would like some feedback on my GMing and you can comment on the play of the others too if you like.
[13:33] Hostess: I didn't see any problems.
[13:33] Hostess: You all roleplayed pretty well.
[13:34] Hostess: Suspicion of the situation with the hostess and the transporteer was natural for PCs, although you did seem to miss that it was malnutrition they were worried about, not violent injury....
[13:35] Hostess: That may have been my mistake for not giving you a clue of the length of the visit, but I wanted to leave that open to stretch to exactly whatever lenght suited your interest level/the plot the most.
[13:35] Pallas: Because the message I got was that they were worried about them falling sick and dying
[13:35] Pallas: Literally those words exactly
[13:36] Hostess: Ah...
[13:36] Hostess: "telephone" clemaxgra only heard half the conversation, and then didn't remember it word for word.... good RP actually.
[13:37] Pallas: And with the combination of them looking at their claws I thought it was because of them begin anthros. We had to be a weird mix. Perhaps they were worried about the way the transporters would affect us
[13:37] Hostess: They were looking for rings of sustenence.
[13:37] * Pallas shrugs
[13:37] Remus: aha
[13:37] Pallas: It worked out in the end
[13:37] Hostess: Yep...
[13:38] Remus: hmm...
[13:38] Hostess: Did you feel like it was slowed down a lot, or undervivid?
[13:39] Hostess: In other words, how sure do I have to be to try to type up paragraphs in advance for next week?
[13:40] Remus: i think it was good on that aspect, though some pre-typed stuff may help
[13:40] * Pallas agrees with Remus
[13:40] Hostess: Ok.
[13:41] *** You're not a channel operator!
[13:41] Hostess: What about you clemaxgra?
[13:41] Remus: Clem isn't here anymore? O.o
[13:41] Hostess: Oh...
[13:42] Hostess: Spheniscine isn't either?
[13:42] Remus: Spheniscine kinda is
[13:42] Hostess: Ok
[13:43] Hostess: Any further comments?
[13:44] Hostess: I am thinking that NOT having the dice-roller do everything is a good teaching tool....
[13:44] Remus: hmm?
[13:44] Hostess: Well, in the IRC based game I am playing I can type
[13:45] Hostess: !SprayFlurry
[13:45] Hostess: And it will do 5 attacks with my wereskunk's spray, all at the correct attack bonuses.
[13:45] Remus: ah...
[13:48] Hostess: Any guesses how long this plane could hold your interest?
[13:49] Hostess: I came up with most of the biology on the fly...
[13:50] Hostess: Tbe cotton-candy clouds are from GitP, and the cotton-candy moss on dark-chocolate rocks was something I had a few hours ahead of time...
[13:50] Remus: Not sure, will we perhaps have some sort of objective here at some point?
[13:51] Hostess: As things go on there will be more and more of an objective.
[13:51] * Remus nods
[13:51] Hostess: When you get to the town the arrow points to there will be a one-session combat sequence whenever you are ready for it.
[13:51] Hostess: After that...
[13:52] Hostess: I can modify a pre-printed adventure to fit the setting, or try to make up my own.
