FE 13

[11/27/2017 8:46:38 PM] Rook: So! You guys were in the dining car of the train. Things are settling down after the altercation between The Cleaver and Svendali, with both of them being taken off. Also at the table is Solah, a Halfling that hadn't flirted with Ander but seemed to be about to when she proactively cut off any flirting, which, to be fair, he understood and stood down from.

[11/27/2017 8:47:28 PM] Rook: Nilani had returned from the library car with a Drow fella named Hakan, drawn by the noise. Which, you know. The Cleaver made a lot of noise, despite apparently being the wounded party here.

[11/27/2017 8:49:23 PM] *** Ander does what Ander does. Tries to get a round of drinks. ***

[11/27/2017 8:51:49 PM] Ander: ((...are there alcoholic drinks available?))

[11/27/2017 8:51:59 PM] Rook: Oh, absolutely.

[11/27/2017 8:52:29 PM] Rook: You're headed to Halfling country, and halflings are pretty much the most prolific brewers in the Empire.

[11/27/2017 8:53:17 PM] *** Ander grabs the best ale she can. ***

[11/27/2017 8:53:36 PM] Ander: "...so...Hakan...you and Vashti just met?"

[11/27/2017 8:54:39 PM] Kite: ((brb!))

[11/27/2017 8:55:20 PM] Rook: Hakan:  ... yeah? I mean, we were just in the Library car.

[11/27/2017 8:56:52 PM] Kite: What brings you to the train?

[11/27/2017 8:57:17 PM] *** Vydea is just sitting back, writing in her notebook ***

[11/27/2017 8:59:49 PM] Rook: Hakan:  Same as anyone, I suppose. Getting from one place to another. I have some business down in Rannon.

[11/27/2017 8:59:59 PM] Rook: Hakan:  ... I'm not looking forward to it.

[11/27/2017 9:00:08 PM] Kite: Why not?

[11/27/2017 9:00:14 PM] Ander: "...family or work?"

[11/27/2017 9:01:56 PM] Rook: Hakan:  Work, I suppose.

[11/27/2017 9:02:10 PM] Ander: "...what do you do?"

[11/27/2017 9:04:18 PM] Kite: ((Back, finally.))

[11/27/2017 9:06:36 PM] Rook: Hakan:  Ah, I'm a troubleshooter, I guess? I travel around on behalf of my church and do what needs doing. There's some Rannian count or duke or earl or something that is threatening to close one of our temples down there, so I need to deal with it.

[11/27/2017 9:07:01 PM] Kite: Which church?

[11/27/2017 9:08:44 PM] Vashti: I used to live in Rannon, actually. It seems there's always some assorted title-bearer over there trying to make themself feel important by making trouble for someone else.

[11/27/2017 9:09:02 PM] Rook: Hakan:  Eilistraee. It's kind of a family thing, really.

[11/27/2017 9:09:21 PM] Kite: Ah, I see.

[11/27/2017 9:11:49 PM] Ander: "Solah, you said you were meeting with your family in Verendra, right?  That should be nice."

[11/27/2017 9:13:33 PM] Rook: Solah scoffs over his mug.

[11/27/2017 9:14:44 PM] Ander: "...or maybe not."

[11/27/2017 9:14:57 PM] Kite: Family can be somewhat difficult.

[11/27/2017 9:16:46 PM] Ander: "...yeah...I get that."

[11/27/2017 9:18:07 PM] Ander: "...this ale is really good."

[11/27/2017 9:18:34 PM] Rook: Solah:  Eh, it's okay. Just dealing with greedy relatives and an ill-defined will.

[11/27/2017 9:18:41 PM] *** Vydea hides a laugh. ***

[11/27/2017 9:18:53 PM] Rook: Hakan:  So where are you headed to? Vashti says you're an adventuring party.

[11/27/2017 9:19:18 PM] Ander: "We are.  We're currently going by Paper Dragons."

[11/27/2017 9:19:31 PM] Kite: We have had some trouble finding a name that was not already taken.

[11/27/2017 9:21:07 PM] Ander: "We are investigating something called the Dusk Lilly in Verendra."

[11/27/2017 9:22:14 PM] Vydea: (i'm gonna have a bad night on rolls tonight, so 7 insight to see if either look like they have a reaction to 'dusk lily')

[11/27/2017 9:23:10 PM] Ander: ((I got a 19 on that. I've been watching them pretty closely.))

[11/27/2017 9:23:29 PM] *** Vydea is distracted by the love triangle she's writing into the book. ***

[11/27/2017 9:25:22 PM] Rook: Solah blinks. "Smugglers, huh?"

[11/27/2017 9:26:06 PM] Daneel: Yes, you have heard of them?

[11/27/2017 9:30:40 PM] Rook: Solah:  Oh, sure. I mostly work on the borders of Verendra. I'm a Hedge Knight.

[11/27/2017 9:31:01 PM] Rook: Daneel, you know that Hedge Knights are an order of Halfling paladins.

[11/27/2017 9:31:47 PM] Ander: "You're a knight?"

[11/27/2017 9:32:24 PM] Rook: THey don't really worship any particular gods. They mostly wander around and defend towns and communities from bandits and monsters.

[11/27/2017 9:32:42 PM] Rook: Solah:  Well, yeah. Not in the.... Rannian terms. I don't have land or anything.

[11/27/2017 9:33:10 PM] Kite: An admirable occupation, however.

[11/27/2017 9:33:32 PM] Ander: "...not trying to offend you, but you really don't look like a knight to me."

[11/27/2017 9:34:47 PM] Kite: ... what do knights normally look like?

[11/27/2017 9:35:11 PM] Vydea: Big, blonde, heavy armor.

[11/27/2017 9:35:14 PM | Edited 9:35:45 PM] Daneel: You stay on the borders mainly? Any reason you avoid further into verendra?

[11/27/2017 9:35:37 PM] Ander: "Not having hair that looks like they're trying really hard to piss of their mom."

[11/27/2017 9:36:00 PM | Edited 9:36:45 PM] Rook: Solah:  Not really. Plenty of Knights roam the interior to stay close to home. I don't really have a home there, so.

[11/27/2017 9:36:13 PM] *** Rook Solah looks at Ander and her shaved head. ***

[11/27/2017 9:36:51 PM] Rook: Solah:  ... yeah.

[11/27/2017 9:36:54 PM] *** Ander doesn't see how that's relevant. ***

[11/27/2017 9:36:58 PM] Ander: (( :P ))

[11/27/2017 9:37:17 PM] Rook: Solah:  Anyway, I don't wear my armor to dinner.

[11/27/2017 9:37:38 PM] Ander: "That's fair.  I'd bet it chaffes after a while."

[11/27/2017 9:37:38 PM] Rook: Solah:  You're not from Verendra, are you?

[11/27/2017 9:37:49 PM] Ander: "What gave me away?"

[11/27/2017 9:38:02 PM] Rook: Solah:  General cluelessness.

[11/27/2017 9:38:18 PM] Kite: ... I am neither big nor blonde nor have heavy armor, and I share his occupation.

[11/27/2017 9:38:40 PM] *** Vydea looks up from her book. "I just mean that's the 'typical' look for the tales." ***

[11/27/2017 9:38:55 PM] Vydea: Reality's much more diverse than what usually gets out there.

[11/27/2017 9:39:15 PM] Ander: "Ain't that the truth."

[11/27/2017 9:39:33 PM] Ander: "And no, I'm not from Verendra.  I grew up near the Jeweled Cities."

[11/27/2017 9:41:30 PM] Rook: Solah:  Anyway, yeah, I'm a knight. Got a hammer, got armor.

[11/27/2017 9:42:03 PM] Ander: "A hammer's a good weapon.  Something you can really put your weight behind.  Is it stone or iron?"

[11/27/2017 9:42:51 PM] Rook: Solah:  Glass. It was my mom's. Enchanted and everything.

[11/27/2017 9:43:24 PM] Kite: Swordie is glass as well.

[11/27/2017 9:44:02 PM] Ander: "What's the hammer's name?"

[11/27/2017 9:44:21 PM] Daneel: ...And we are back to this

[11/27/2017 9:44:45 PM] Rook: Solah:  It doesn't have one?

[11/27/2017 9:44:54 PM] Rook: Solah:  I guess I could call it Smashy.

[11/27/2017 9:46:16 PM] Kite: I approve.

[11/27/2017 9:46:28 PM] Ander: "How could you not have given it a name?  If it was your mom's shouldn't it have some ancestral name?"

[11/27/2017 9:47:43 PM] Rook: Solah:  It might have had a name. I don't think she asked the guy she took it from.

[11/27/2017 9:48:00 PM] Ander: "Did she not give it a name?"

[11/27/2017 9:48:46 PM] Daneel: I think maybe... just maybe naming weapons is not as common as you think it is.

[11/27/2017 9:49:19 PM] Ander: "...you have no idea how disappointing a proposition that is for me to take."

[11/27/2017 9:49:36 PM] *** Ander grips her sword. "Well, at least me and Skara will uphold the tradition." ***

[11/27/2017 9:50:01 PM] Kite: I do have Swordie.

[11/27/2017 9:50:26 PM] *** Ander holds a hand up to brofist Kite. ***

[11/27/2017 9:51:34 PM] Daneel: Only because of the conversation we had earlier though.

[11/27/2017 9:51:59 PM] Daneel: It hadn’t even occurred to you to name a weapon till then.

[11/27/2017 9:53:08 PM] *** Kite does the brofist thing. ***

[11/27/2017 9:53:12 PM] Kite: No. But I do like the idea.

[11/27/2017 9:53:57 PM] Ander: "We will bring it back.  Weapons deserve epic names and stories."

[11/27/2017 9:54:40 PM] Vydea: If the weapon is part of an epic tale, it'll get a name. Killing a couple undead hands hardly counts.

[11/27/2017 9:55:15 PM] Ander: "It also helped fight off a wizard."

[11/27/2017 9:55:19 PM] Ander: "...sort of."

[11/27/2017 9:55:54 PM] Ander: "...we need better gigs."

[11/27/2017 9:55:59 PM] Vydea: The Key was a named weapon.

[11/27/2017 9:56:22 PM] Rook: Hakan:  The key?

[11/27/2017 9:56:43 PM] Kite: A dangerous artifact.

[11/27/2017 9:57:30 PM] Ander: "Not even sure that counts.  That thing was from Misrule."

[11/27/2017 9:57:49 PM] Vydea: It has a backstory.

[11/27/2017 9:58:35 PM] Rook: Hakan:  Huh.

[11/27/2017 9:59:18 PM] Rook: Hakan:  Misrulian?

[11/27/2017 10:01:31 PM] *** Ander eyes Hakan suspiciously. ***

[11/27/2017 10:01:43 PM] Kite: A dangerous artifact.

[11/27/2017 10:02:15 PM] Rook: Hakan is looking at the ceiling, seemingly thinking. "The Key of Opening?"

[11/27/2017 10:02:38 PM] Rook: Hakan:  That's the only Misrulian Key I can think of.

[11/27/2017 10:02:50 PM] Vydea: How have you heard of it?

[11/27/2017 10:03:03 PM] Ander: "What have you heard of it?"

[11/27/2017 10:03:07 PM] Vydea: (jfc that's a 6. nat 1.)

[11/27/2017 10:09:05 PM] Kite: I would imagine: that it is bad.

[11/27/2017 10:10:00 PM] Rook: Hakan thinks. "I read about it, of course.   I read an account of the spot it was dug up.  The ruins of some old city.  Galassia?  I think it was Galassia.  It was dug up with a few other artifacts.  The dig site and camp was attacked by bandits.  One of the bandits got his hand on the Key, and used it to become a demon.

[11/27/2017 10:10:41 PM] Ander: "The Three-Faced Liar, or something like that?"

[11/27/2017 10:11:12 PM] Rook: Hakan:  I don't know what kind of demon he became. Just that he became one and just... vanished.

[11/27/2017 10:13:21 PM] Rook: Hakan: Then the camp defenders were able to drive the bandits off. The demon left the Key behind, and it was boxed up again.

[11/27/2017 10:13:57 PM] Vydea: How do you know so much about it?

[11/27/2017 10:14:19 PM] Vydea: Like, you read about it, but where did anyone write it down?

[11/27/2017 10:14:35 PM] Vydea: I'd love to find that book.

[11/27/2017 10:18:25 PM] Rook: Hakan:  I read an account. Misrulian artifacts are dug up by a concerted effort by the citizens of Misrule. Archaeological digs. They're documented, like any dig.

[11/27/2017 10:18:59 PM] Rook: Hakan:  My interest is in demons, specifically, so when I heard rumors of a bandit becoming one I had to find the source.

[11/27/2017 10:19:26 PM] Kite: Demons?

[11/27/2017 10:19:28 PM] Rook: Hakan:  This was.... five years ago. The whole key demon thing.

[11/27/2017 10:21:02 PM] Kite: You are a demonologist? It is an extremely interesting field.

[11/27/2017 10:21:37 PM] Ander: "...where are these journals kept?"

[11/27/2017 10:21:54 PM] Rook: Hakan:  yeah? There are still Yugoloth holdouts from the invasion, even after all this time. Quite a few in the Underdark.

[11/27/2017 10:23:29 PM] Rook: Hakan:  The libraries in Misrule, mostly.

[11/27/2017 10:28:17 PM] Rook: Hakan:  The Grand College of Sheor is where you want to go if you want to learn about Misrulian artifacts.

[11/27/2017 10:29:02 PM] Ander: And that is actually in Misrule?

[11/27/2017 10:29:32 PM] Kite: ... you sound suspicious. You doubt Misrule has libraries?

[11/27/2017 10:30:23 PM] Ander: "No, I just want clarification of where to go."

[11/27/2017 10:30:45 PM] Rook: Hakan:  It's not all a wasteland.

[11/27/2017 10:31:14 PM] Ander: ((Who were you insighting there?))

[11/27/2017 10:31:45 PM] Kite: ((Mwhahaha.))

[11/27/2017 10:32:10 PM] Rook: Hakan:  Just... mostly.

[11/27/2017 10:34:53 PM] Ander: "...gonna guess the answer is no, but do these books have a lot of pictures?  ...maybe fewer word books, more picture books?"

[11/27/2017 10:35:33 PM] Rook: Hakan:  There's.... a few  pictures? Drawings and maps.

[11/27/2017 10:35:48 PM] Kite: We could always interpret.

[11/27/2017 10:36:34 PM] Ander: "...that'd be helpful."

[11/27/2017 10:38:03 PM] Daneel: Let’s finish this trip before we start even thinking of going all the way to misrule.

[11/27/2017 10:38:18 PM] Rook: Dinner is brought! Halfing waiters and waitresses start putting food on tables.

[11/27/2017 10:38:27 PM] Ander: "Oh, fancy."

[11/27/2017 10:38:48 PM] Rook: Solah looks at Vydea. "What're you writing, anyway?"

[11/27/2017 10:40:27 PM] *** Vydea shrugs. "Notes, ideas, snippets. Planning a book I'm going to write." ***

[11/27/2017 10:43:14 PM] Ander: "So, you've dealt with the Dusk Lily before.  Anything we should know going in?"

[11/27/2017 10:43:27 PM] *** Ander was talking to Solah. ***

[11/27/2017 10:46:31 PM] Rook: ((Sorry, there was pizza I had to get.))

[11/27/2017 10:46:41 PM] Rook: Solah:  They use a lot of magickers.

[11/27/2017 10:46:51 PM] *** Ander groans. ***

[11/27/2017 10:47:02 PM] *** Vydea stifles another laugh. ***

[11/27/2017 10:47:26 PM] *** Ander gives Vydea a look. ***

[11/27/2017 10:47:30 PM] Rook: Solah:  Where exactly are you going?

[11/27/2017 10:48:04 PM] Ander: "Berend."

[11/27/2017 10:48:20 PM] Ander: "You ever been?"

[11/27/2017 10:51:26 PM] Rook: Solah:  Oh, sure. Not much there, but I have at least three cousins there.

[11/27/2017 10:51:57 PM] Ander: "...you were not kidding about the big family thing, were you?"

[11/27/2017 10:52:44 PM] Rook: Solah:  Well... halflings. I don't know how it is down south, but I imagine you have a pretty big family too?

[11/27/2017 10:53:02 PM] Ander: "...in a sense, yes."

[11/27/2017 10:53:33 PM] Kite: ... I am an only child.

[11/27/2017 10:54:23 PM] Ander: "That sucks."

[11/27/2017 10:54:34 PM] Kite: It does?

[11/27/2017 10:55:23 PM] Rook: Solah:  I find myself envious.

[11/27/2017 10:56:01 PM] Ander: "I dunno.  It would've been pretty boring all day without my brothers."

[11/27/2017 10:56:03 PM] Kite: It is extremely simple.

[11/27/2017 10:56:21 PM] Kite: I was at the Temple; I had many sibling-like friends.

[11/27/2017 10:58:34 PM] Ander: "That's good too, I guess."

[11/27/2017 11:00:17 PM] Kite: Yes.

[11/27/2017 11:01:34 PM] Ander: "Your mom was a Hedge Knight as well?"

[11/27/2017 11:03:56 PM] Kite: ((I assume Ander's asking Solah.))

[11/27/2017 11:04:17 PM] Ander: ((I was))

[11/27/2017 11:05:15 PM] Rook: Solah nods. "Yeah.  The posting isn't hereditary, but a lot of Knights follow parents or older siblings into the tradition."

[11/27/2017 11:07:16 PM] *** Ander nods. "My brother was gonna follow my dad into his profession.  You and your mom get along then, at least?" ***

[11/27/2017 11:08:29 PM] Rook: Solah:  Oh, sure. She's great.

[11/27/2017 11:09:54 PM] Rook: Solah:  Looking forward to seeing her again, to be honest.

[11/27/2017 11:10:10 PM] Ander: "So, that's good.  This trip's not all bad then."

[11/27/2017 11:13:23 PM] Ander: ((What is the food, out of curiosity?))

[11/27/2017 11:14:10 PM] Rook: Chicken and fish, and lots of vegetables and baked goods.

[11/27/2017 11:14:42 PM] *** Kite eats a lot. ***

[11/27/2017 11:15:54 PM] *** Ander is devouring the chicken & baked goods in a decidedly uncouth fashion. ***

[11/27/2017 11:18:22 PM] Ander: "So, if you're seeing your family in Verendra, what do you do in Song's Heart?"

[11/27/2017 11:22:30 PM] Ander: ((Again, asking Solah))

[11/27/2017 11:23:31 PM] Rook: Solah:  I was part of an exchange type thing. the Empress sends some of the Royal Guard to Verendra, and Verendra sends some Hedge Knights to Song's Heart.

[11/27/2017 11:24:14 PM] *** Ander nods ***

[11/27/2017 11:26:02 PM] Vydea: Learning experience?

[11/27/2017 11:26:40 PM] Rook: Solah:  You can only take so much of rolling green fields before you get bored.

[11/27/2017 11:27:00 PM] Kite: ((LIES.))

[11/27/2017 11:29:50 PM] Ander: "Mountains are fun though.  Also woods.  Pretty much always cold down south, though."

[11/27/2017 11:31:02 PM] Ander: "You grow up in the Underdark, Hakan?  That sounds...interesting."

[11/27/2017 11:31:21 PM] Kite: Dangerous.

[11/27/2017 11:32:28 PM] Rook: Hakan:  Both of those, really.

[11/27/2017 11:33:18 PM] Rook: Hakan looks around at the table, picking at his fish. "So, have any interesting adventures yet?  Vashti mentioned that there were some rat transformations."

[11/27/2017 11:34:13 PM] Ander: "That one's not as cool as it sounds.  We basically got hired to deal with a paranoid wizard's faulty stock."

[11/27/2017 11:34:14 PM] Kite: Nearly everyone has been a rat.

[11/27/2017 11:34:26 PM] Kite: I got a cat out of it.

[11/27/2017 11:35:40 PM] Ander: "It's a blink cat."

[11/27/2017 11:35:58 PM] Rook: Hakan:  I didn't know there was such a thing?

[11/27/2017 11:36:04 PM] Rook: Gimme perception checks.

[11/27/2017 11:36:39 PM] Kite: Murr is a good cat.

[11/27/2017 11:36:44 PM] Ander: ((4))

[11/27/2017 11:37:25 PM] Vashti: [7.]

[11/27/2017 11:38:31 PM] Daneel: (( 10))

[11/27/2017 11:38:43 PM] Ander: ((WAIT))

[11/27/2017 11:38:49 PM] Ander: ((I have advantage, right?))

[11/27/2017 11:38:59 PM] Ander: ((From my awesome family joke?))

[11/27/2017 11:39:03 PM] Rook: If you wanna use it on this, sure!

[11/27/2017 11:39:16 PM] Ander: ((15))

[11/27/2017 11:41:32 PM] Kite: ((6. I SEE NOTHINK.))

[11/27/2017 11:43:41 PM] Vydea: (On my phone butt 16!)

[11/27/2017 11:45:23 PM] Rook: You notice, across the dining car, which is pretty big, there's a Halfling fella who keeps looking over at your table with an unreadable expression. You can't tell who if anyone's he's looking at in particular.

[11/27/2017 11:46:09 PM] Ander: ((Vy and I notice this?))

[11/27/2017 11:46:32 PM] *** Vydea will just keep am eye on him while she writes ***

[11/27/2017 11:46:33 PM] Rook: YEs.

[11/27/2017 11:46:55 PM] Rook: sorry, that was meant to be to Ander, but I'm slightly distracted by pizza.

[11/27/2017 11:47:35 PM] Ander: "...not this again."

[11/27/2017 11:48:42 PM] Vashti: Not what again?

[11/27/2017 11:49:16 PM | Edited 11:49:33 PM] Ander: "Don't be too obvious about looking, but someone's watching us."

[11/27/2017 11:49:36 PM] *** Ander nods her head in the guy's direction. ***

[11/27/2017 11:49:50 PM] Vydea: Maybe you're just a popular girl.

[11/27/2017 11:50:04 PM] *** Ander blushes. ***

[11/27/2017 11:50:09 PM] Kite: You are reasonably pretty.

[11/27/2017 11:50:17 PM] Kite: It happens.

[11/27/2017 11:50:31 PM] Ander: "Don't help me, Kite."

[11/27/2017 11:51:12 PM] Vashti: Of course. Darn it, now I'm going to be actively trying not to look at that area. If I'm too obvious about it, it'll look weird and might tip them off.

[11/27/2017 11:51:34 PM] Kite: ... all right.

[11/27/2017 11:51:43 PM] Ander: "I am gonna go out on a limb and guess he's not a friend of yours, Solah."

[11/27/2017 11:56:13 PM] Ander: "...you know what, screw it.  I know what to do here."

[11/27/2017 11:56:22 PM] *** Ander gets up and walks over to the halfling. ***

[11/27/2017 11:56:28 PM] Ander: "Need something?"

[11/27/2017 11:58:28 PM] Vydea: No subtlety at all, that one.

[11/27/2017 11:58:50 PM] *** Vashti facepalms ***

[11/27/2017 11:59:01 PM] Rook: He's quite a ways away.

[11/27/2017 11:59:06 PM] Kite: Often it seems unnecessary.

[11/27/2017 11:59:18 PM] *** Ander just starts to walk over, then. ***

[11/27/2017 11:59:20 PM] Rook: Like... not a few tables away, he's on the other side of the dining car.

[11/27/2017 11:59:33 PM] *** Ander will walk it. ***

[11/28/2017 12:00:34 AM] Ander: ((Does he do anything as I approach?))

[11/28/2017 12:04:39 AM] Rook: His attention stays on the table, rather than you as you approach, Ander.

[11/28/2017 12:04:51 AM] Rook: Not every guy has the hots for Ander.

[11/28/2017 12:05:22 AM] Ander: ((Good to know. Ander keeps moving forward.))

[11/28/2017 12:08:16 AM] Rook: He does glance at you as it becomes clear you're approaching him. He's a solidly built Halfling with one eye! He's at a table with three others.

[11/28/2017 12:09:17 AM] *** Ander will go forward undaunted. "Something catch your eye?" ***

[11/28/2017 12:10:59 AM] Rook: He looks up at you. "Got no quarrel with you, lady."

[11/28/2017 12:11:52 AM] Ander: "You seem very focused on my friends."

[11/28/2017 12:12:50 AM] Ander: "And if you've got a quarrel with one of them, congrats.  You got one with me."

[11/28/2017 12:17:41 AM] Ander: "...so...like...what is your deal, man?"

[11/28/2017 12:22:26 AM] Rook: The Halfling looks at you, then points at Solah. "That guy put my brother in prison."

[11/28/2017 12:22:44 AM] Ander: "...I see."

[11/28/2017 12:23:03 AM] Ander: "...that sucks."

[11/28/2017 12:25:52 AM] Ander: "...ok then, enjoy your food."

[11/28/2017 12:25:55 AM] *** Ander walks away. ***

[11/28/2017 12:26:04 AM] *** Ander goes back to the table. ***

[11/28/2017 12:26:18 AM | Removed 12:26:31 AM] Ander: This message has been removed.

[11/28/2017 12:26:30 AM] Rook: He grunts, and they go back to glaring vaguely at Solah.

[11/28/2017 12:26:43 AM] Ander: "That may have been a mistake."

[11/28/2017 12:27:04 AM] Vydea: What? Nothing ever goes wrong from just walking up and demanding to know what people's problems are.

[11/28/2017 12:27:46 AM] Ander: "So, Solah, apparently you and that dude's brother had a beef a while back."

[11/28/2017 12:27:55 AM] Ander: "And you put him in jail?"

[11/28/2017 12:28:18 AM] Rook: Solah:  ... unsurprising. I put a bunch of people in jail, and most of them are halflings.

[11/28/2017 12:28:41 AM] Rook: Solah:  and since they're halflings, they have a thousand brothers and sisters looking for a shot.

[11/28/2017 12:29:05 AM] Ander: "Well, this dude did not take it well, I gathered."

[11/28/2017 12:30:49 AM] Ander: "So...look out for the inevitable revenge he is probably planning...I guess."

[11/28/2017 12:35:59 AM] Ander: "...in hindsight I should've asked for some details, maybe.  Then again, maybe not.  I am realizing I am very bad at this."

[11/28/2017 12:36:14 AM] Rook: Solah:  ... at what?

[11/28/2017 12:36:25 AM] Vydea: Subtlety?

[11/28/2017 12:36:41 AM] Daneel: Tact?

[11/28/2017 12:36:47 AM] Ander: Yeah that. Those things."

[11/28/2017 12:42:55 AM] Daneel: You seem to like just confronting any issue though? Why start using caution now?

[11/28/2017 12:43:27 AM] Ander: "I feel like confronting every issue is getting me more mixed results than it used to."

[11/28/2017 12:45:01 AM] Ander: "...good meeting you Solah, Hakan.  I think I will go back to the cabin now."

[11/28/2017 12:45:52 AM] *** Ander gets up to leave ***
