UKitP Meetup XVII - Hail the Meetup of Seventeen Summers

... I can't deny this. 'twould be foolish.

So I come to make one last check on the forums only to see Cassie posted something at a quarter to four in the morning, I immediately decide to tell her off because she has school or work or something like that on the morrow.
Then I realise I changed forum setting to reflect my new time zone and it's actually around nine o'clock where she lives.

You can stay up for a few more hours Cassie, but be in bed by one! Don't make me tell your parents.

[Mercenary Pen]

We don't actually have a dragon either...

Yes, but if you were paying attention, we'll need to find another dragon, and keep it alive (or possibly wait for it to hatch), and food is a useful starting point to pacifying anything that lives (with the possible exception of Aberrations, Abominations and stuff that is just plain weird- also not so good for constructs and the undead, but they're not living).

Wait, what? I didn't realise Cornwall was THAT serious about seceding!

You need to find a dragon, we need to discuss payment for continued services

Deduct 15% from your fee for every time I am going to have to heal you.

[Teddy]

Hey, thanks again for a great evening, everyone! Even if I feel I might've managed to be a little better at acting social if I'd made sure to get proper dinner. Or even anything other than sweets. I don't think I want to see sour-sugared foam mushrooms ever again.

Special thanks to Archie for putting up with us hapless morons whose only goal in life seemed to be to never truly figure out what we were doing, and to Minion for bringing my lost bag for heartfelt reunion.

Also, Minion, do you feel like going to Oslo to pick up my bag?

[Thufir]

And may I remind you what happened to the minstrels who wrote that particular ode?

*makes note that bard is now first choice amongst party to serve as dragonfood- because Chaotic Neutral*

*Makes note to let the Sorcerer bleed to death next time and save the spell for damage, or heal myself with it.*

[Snowfire]

*Makes note to definitely try to be there next time, if only so that he can prevent needless interparty-drama driven deaths.*

[Heliomance]

1. Heliomance turned out to be a millennia-old immortal, trapped me and Cassie in an ancient house of mystery, and devoured our life essences. That was a surprise.

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling kids.

On an unrelated note, I will, for posterity's sake, point out that Archie did not order a Hippie Burger, so the tag on this thread is a lie.

Nor in fact did I attempt to distract him through the creation of a phantasmal hippie that he might have stabbed at the expense of stabbing the D&D party (considered the spell Phantasmal Force, but did not take it in the end).

Aw, I have silent image and I didn't think of this

Yes, but with Phantasmal Force, my hippie could have tried stabbing him and done actual damage...

sorry that I have put this off for so long:

WALL OF TEXT ALERT!

Bobtown Session 3:

after hiring some new muscle as some of their previous party had to go and sort some other issues out the new Mayor & new Magic users Guild-master went to the nearest source of marble to buy some and hopefully not get mugged on the way home.
Upon arrival to the quarry they found that it was deserted after some investigation they head into the town to see if they can find someone who knows something. They headed off to the pub because people in bars are known for their helpfulness and rumour spreading (as an aside I've never really understood this theory because people in pubs want to drink. they rarely want to talk outside their group of friends unless they are on the pull) so they walked in and asked the barkeep what's up.
The barkeep seems confused, people usually at least order drinks before pumping him for information. it's a bit rude to go to a bar and not buy anything! especially when the town is going through financial hardship. after the cleric took the hint (thanks Helio) and ordered something the barkeeper suggested that the manor house is probably the best place to start as the mine owner lives there after finishing their drinks they headed off there to speak with him about getting some marble.
Upon arrival to this large marble mansion they knock on the door, the butler answers and seems put out that someone has arrived without proper invitation, however once he hears that they wish to discuss business with the owner he invites them in and gets him.
The Quarry owner arrives and when is asked about buying some marble immediately tries to sell the quarry and the mansion for 1500GP after some back and forth the party decides to buy the quarry but not the mansion for the sum of 1000GP to be taken from Bobtown's Coffers.
after the bank has transferred the deeds and been adequately assured of the credentials of the Mayor to accept the transfer (how did banks cope before long range instantaneous information transfer was possible?)

TBC: have to go out.

Was it that the cleric took the hint and ordered a drink, or just that the cleric was a dwarf and therefore wanted a drink anyway?
