Lucas_Strongbow: Yes I died
Chunky_Mcbutts_IV: yeah I did too
Chunky_Mcbutts_IV: *le sigh*
Lucas_Strongbow: And felt more annoyed about it than I probably should have
Chunky_Mcbutts_IV: still, I pm'd vermillion just before I died about a special rp if I did, and he totally used it
Alek_Deckard: I'm still alive, but, I'm kinda cheating at that what with staying at base and remote controlling a tank.
Chunky_Mcbutts_IV: I was very happy
Holdr: Oh crap. You people died?
Chunky_Mcbutts_IV: yeah we all got killed
Holdr: hahahah. 
Chunky_Mcbutts_IV: Also droak2 is immortal
Alek_Deckard: Only chance I have of dying is if Monoxx kills me, or an alien escapes containment if that is a thing.
Lucas_Strongbow: I got described as a Vermillion-lite
Lucas_Strongbow: What an honor
Lucas_Strongbow: That'll be on my headstone
Chunky_Mcbutts_IV: yeah vermillion's character is a monster
Holdr: alright chunky
Holdr: It's up
Chunky_Mcbutts_IV: oaky
Slim_Bankshot: Poen MAY actually make it tonight
Alek_Deckard: Hooray!
PwotMoose joined #pwot_dnd2.
PwotMoose: I'm here I'm here

Brigsby: what'd I miss?
Chunky_Mcbutts_IV: okay delf take hayseed out again, I've got the info I need
Chunky_Mcbutts_IV: also nothing brigs, we just started
Ace_Justice: I think this campaign needs more space stallions
Ace_Justice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Otaq2tmNMM
Uovana joined #pwot_dnd2.
Poen joined #pwot_dnd2.
Poen: HA. I'm alive!
navCPU: Oh man... Someone has to summarize everything for Poen
Alek_Deckard: Hooray!
Alek_Deckard: Um, stuff, lots and lots of stuff.
Alek_Deckard: And some explosions.
Alek_Deckard: And we have a bigger ship now in case you weren't here for that.
Alek_Deckard: And we bumped into the big bad, he could probably kill us with his pinky right now.
navCPU: Don't call him the big bad
navCPU: He deserves better than a poorly named trope
Poen: Wait
Poen: navCPU is ... ?
Poen: And Uovana and Ary and Alek ... ?
navCPU: The Nav computer of the ship they are piloting
Lucas_Strongbow: Slim
Alek_Deckard: It's not my fault the trope name is what it is.
Poen: Is the ship literally called SS Bigger?
Alek_Deckard: And we hardly know enough about him to give him a more specified listing.
DAVE_ROBOBURG: navCPU is slim
navCPU: Whatever just call him the head oncho or something. Don't go using stupid things from TVtropes
DAVE_ROBOBURG: No, our semi-wrecked ship is called the SS Bigger Ship because it's bigger than our old ship, the bus
navCPU: *honcho
Alek_Deckard: I wasn't even thinking, I jut called him it.
Poen: Anything I should know about this super powerful guy?
Alek_Deckard: It's not like people who haven't been to tvtropes wouldn't think to call someone a big bad.
Alek_Deckard: He is very fond of his mead.
navCPU: He is wicked classy.
navCPU: Suede and Velour everything
Alek_Deckard: Also an Elf racist dude.
navCPU: Also that
Poen: Man, he almost sounded attractive before the "racist" part
Lucas_Strongbow: And built like a brick shithouse
Poen: And he wants to kill us simply because we aren't elves?
Alek_Deckard: Also we sorta crashed his party.
Ace_Justice: Yeah I broke his wine
Ace_Justice: I think it was me
Ace_Justice: was it?
Heronius: I set fire to several people.
Lucas_Strongbow: I think it was mainly me
Alek_Deckard: You're thinking of his generator for keeping his drinks cool I think, which was Lucas.
Lucas_Strongbow: I broke a generator
Lucas_Strongbow: And stole a lockbox
Lucas_Strongbow: That had him PISSED
Poen: Somehow, I'm not surprised
Alek_Deckard: Oh, and murdered his favorite band I think.
Lucas_Strongbow: We need to find out how to open that lockbox
navCPU: And kinda ruined his party in general
Alek_Deckard: We need his finger for that, or just a fingerprint.
Lucas_Strongbow: Come to think of it, I bet he just has a very special drink inside
Alek_Deckard: And Ace chose the lesser of two weevils.
Ace_Justice: hahahahaa
Poen: So what's the racist's name?
Alek_Deckard: General A-rest of his name.
Alek_Deckard: Araonasoijmgoiaejoia.
Alek_Deckard: Amaraer.
Lucas_Strongbow: Ahmedjinedad
Poen: Makes sense.
Ace_Justice: Adhjihad 
Ary quit.
Holdr: Hmmm. Holdr would be a better choice to play drums
Holdr: He has a higher str mod
Holdr: Igfig. Could we get training for Holdr here?
DAVE_ROBOBURG: are we not just dropping the band thing? We only have two musical guys, why can't we just be a normal group of adventurers?
Holdr: Because. Rock.
Igfig: You should ask around, Holdr
Poen: I'll be back in a bit.
Poen: Dinner
navCPU: s taverning?
navCPU: *who is
Alek_Deckard: I think Holdr is, Lucas is wenching so that'd be similar.
Alek_Deckard: I was going to follow Holdr into the tavern cause surgery doesn't sit well with Alek.
DAVE_ROBOBURG: Brigsby will be with them but just quietly drinking himself into a stupor so I won't actually be doing anything
Lucas_Strongbow quit.
navCPU: Alright, all taverngoers report with your current position!
navCPU: red
Alek_Deckard: Um.
Holdr: Ah
Holdr: Um
Holdr: In the door
Holdr: Looking for a drummer
navCPU: Just the two of you? Really?
Holdr: Mhmm
navCPU: OK
Holdr: I'm looking for drum lessons
navCPU: Oh
Alek_Deckard: I'd think, DAVE could be since he's going around talking to people maybe.
Alek_Deckard: But that is up to him.
navCPU: You're in a tavern called the Smiling Beholder
navCPU: Is is a fairly merry seeming place
navCPU: Busy, but calm
Holdr: Are there any level 1 adventurers starting out?
navCPU: There are some uneducated looking folk about
navCPU: But they may just be retards
Holdr: Darn
navCPU: The only unrest is a rambling drunk in hte corner and an arguement at the bar
navCPU: *the
Holdr: I'll ignore that
Alek_Deckard: What is he rambling about?
Holdr: 1d20+1 to find someone who looks like a drummer
Fortuna: Holdr, to find someone who looks like a drummer: [16] = 17
navCPU: There is a person sitting at one of the tables hitting his passed-out friend rhythmically with wooden spoons
Holdr: I'll go sit across from him
patron: He stops
Holdr: "good day."
patron: "Hey there brother? Here to jam with me?"
patron: ... Minus the first ?
Holdr: "That I am."
Holdr: "But I'm a bit rusty."
patron: "Right on. What do you play?"
Poen: "Aren't you concerned about your friend?"
Holdr: "Well. I played a bit of the drums when I was younger."
patron: "He'll be fine. .... Probably."
patron: "How much younger?"
Holdr: "Before I went to a university. My studies kept me from playing much."
Poen: 1d20+11 insight on passed-out friend to check he'll be okay
Fortuna: Poen, insight on passed-out friend to check he'll be okay: [19] = 30
patron: "No worries! Drums are like riding a bike brother! You never forget!"
Alek_Deckard: Maybe healing instead?
patron: He'll be fine
patron: "So how many years?"
Holdr: "About 15."\
patron: "Ohhh...."
patron: "Brother I'm good, but no drumming for 15 years? You need someone better than I..."
Holdr: "Brother, I've been in many a fight. They keep my drumming arms strong."
Holdr: "I haven't lost the touch."
patron: "It's not about strength. Anyone can smack a drum."
patron: "But,"
patron: "I know someone who can help."
patron: "THey'll take convincing, but if you can find..."
patron 4leans in
patron: "The Maestro of Rock..."
patron: "Then they should be able to help you brother."
Holdr: "And where could I find this..." Holdr leans in and slides 10 gp across the table. "Maestro of Rock."
patron 4sits back and hits his friend more
patron: "When rock was banned, they were forced into exile to avoid being executed."
patron: "Brother you can keep your money. Nobody knows where they are."
patron: "Well..."
Holdr: "Keep it. As thanks."
patron: "Almost nobody..."
Poen: "Oh?"
patron: "Lots of pilots come through here."
patron: "Sometimes they're humming or tapping their toes to invisible beats."
patron: "The sort of beat that coes from rock."
patron: *comes
patron: "I reckon they pick it up on their radios while traveling."
Holdr: "I see."
Holdr: "Would you happen to know any of these pilots?"
patron: "Nope. And most are the kind I wouldn't want to."
patron: "Brother some gnarly motherfuckers swing by here."
Holdr: "I specialize in dealing with those people."
patron: (discussing with ig. One sec)
patron: "Well,"
patron: "I'd check the shipyards, probably. Listen for a beat."
Poen: "Anyone in particular you know of?"
patron: "None off the top of my head. Maybe ask the bartender? He knows more faces than I do."
Holdr: "Well thank you brother."
Holdr: "Best of luck to you."
Holdr: "And your friend as well."
Poen: "Yeah, uh ... brother."
patron: "From one drummer to another, you got it,"
patron:  1d20 awesome solo on friends face
Fortuna: patron, awesome solo on friends face: [11] = 11
Poen: "Holdr, how on earth are we supposed to just ... listen for a beat?"
Holdr: "We'll see."
Holdr: "We'll see."
patron: It is a mediocre solo 
Alek_Deckard: "With our ears, or perhaps the same way one listens to their deity of choice."
Holdr: "Let's head over to the bartender."
Poen: "Sure. Can't hurt."
Holdr: We head over to the bartender then
Alek_Deckard: Man it is a good thing Alek isn't over near Hero right now, I don't think the whole selling those prisoners into slavery thing would sit well with him.
Poen: Same.
patron: The bartender is a happy looking Beholder
patron: Standing behind the bar and chatting with the customers
patron: Also he is wearing a bowler hat
patron: That is a point of interest
Poen: "Hey there. How goes it?"
bartender: "Howdy folks!"
bartender: "It goes, it goes."
Poen: "We're looking for people who might look like they're good at drumming. Know anyone off the top of your head?"
bartender 4gets quiet
bartender: "Drumming? Like.. Rock?"
Poen: "... sorry, did I say something wrong?"
Poen: "Oh.
Poen: "Uh. No."
bartender: "No rock here. None."
Holdr: Holdr looks him dead in the eye
Poen: "Just ... some, orchestra."
Poen: "You know. Bass. Snare. Symbols. Triangles."
Holdr: Gah. What idiot thought intimidate based off charisma would work
Holdr: I'll wait
Alek_Deckard: "Master...  I'm afraid I don't know your name sir."
bartender: The bartenders name?
Alek_Deckard: Yes.
bartender: "You can call me Steve. Everyone else does."
bartender: Also, I thought you guys were looking for pilots
bartender: Who had heard rock
Holdr: The guy recommended we talk tot he bartender as well
bartender: Oh
bartender: Wow my memory is terrible
bartender: "So y'all are musicians, then?"
Holdr: "Not exactly."
bartender: "What's that mean?"
Alek_Deckard: "Steve, sir, my friend meant a person capable of keeping a beat using a drum.  Many worship services for Pelor can make use of chanting for added spirituality."
Alek_Deckard: 1d20+11 Bluff
Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, Bluff: [20] = 31
Holdr: Holy crap
Alek_Deckard: "And it tends to help the congregation to have a beat to chant to."
Holdr: The symbol of Pelor now glows brightly on each of us
bartender: "Y'all are part of some religion then?"
Alek_Deckard: "I'm afraid I'm only an acolyte in training, sir."
Holdr: "Aye. I'm head of security for them."
bartender: "Right well I can't carry a tune for the life of me. Did you try talking to the fella drumming on his friend?"
Holdr: "That we did."
bartender: "No luck huh?"
Holdr: "He recommended we speak to you."
Holdr: "Said you might know some people."
Alek_Deckard: "He said that some pilots down near the docks tend to have a curious bounce in their step, but also recommended speaking with you on the matter."
bartender: "Huh. Not as dumb as I thought he was."
bartender: "He's right. Some of the pilots come in with so much rhythm and music they don't ask for anything. Just kinda mill about." 
bartender: "Don't know many by name, but one was in here just a bit ago. Said he was refuling. He was a long hauler, and those tanks don't fill quick. He should still be in pirt."
bartender: *port
Alek_Deckard: "Could you tell us his name please?  And where we may find him?"
Holdr: "Where exactly?"
bartender: "Didn't give a name, but his hat had his company name on it. He mentioned being parked at station 12."
bartender: "I'd head there and look for the ship that says . 'Lous Long Haul' on it."
Alek_Deckard: "Thank you very much Steve, you have been very helpful.  May the light of Pelor shine upon you when you need it."
Holdr: "Let's head out."
Holdr: And away we go
bartender: "Thank you kindly."
bartender: So
bartender: Out at Station 12 there are multiple ships
bartender: But one exceptionally large carrier has those words printed on the side
Holdr: Let's head on over there
Holdr: See if we can find that pilot
bartender: There's a man humming to himself and patching the hull with tape
Holdr: "Good day sir."
bartender: "Swhat?"
bartender: "Oh hey. D'I know you?"
bartender: Who in this group was on Chiron way back when you got the first ship?
Holdr: I
Alek_Deckard: Poen.
Holdr: Think- no that was drey
bartender: OK.
Alek_Deckard: Poen was.
bartender: Just Poen then?
Alek_Deckard: Um.
Alek_Deckard: I think Alek got picked up after we had the ship.
Holdr: We could say Holdr was there on a security contract if needed
Holdr: Jsut nto with the party
bartender: The man lifts his hat and peers at you all
bartender:  1d20 -2 recognize Poen
Fortuna: bartender, recognize Poen: [9] = 7
bartender: "Nope, guess I don't."
bartender: "Name's Shippy. What can I do for ya?"
Alek_Deckard: "We're looking for the captain of this vessel, we heard that he had heard some music during his travels recently."
Shippy: "That I did, That I did!"
Shippy 4hums an interesting tune
Shippy: "Wanna hear the rest? I gots it all on the recording whatsit inside."
Holdr: "That I would."
Alek_Deckard: "We'd be delighted."
Holdr: "Would you also happen to know the area in which you heard it?
Shippy 4open the boarding ramp and beckons for you to follow
Holdr: We do so
Holdr: Also
Holdr: 1d20+1 insight on him
Fortuna: Holdr, insight on him: [9] = 10
Holdr: Bah
Holdr: Holdr is horrible with this
Shippy: He walks through the massive cargo bay. Past smaller ships, crates with holes in them, and empty bottles
Shippy: As well as a broken open crate with a few bottles in it
Shippy: He enters the cockpit and begins throwing bottles and paper around.
Alek_Deckard: "Quite the...  assortment of cargo here."
Shippy: "Found it!"
Alek_Deckard: "Let's give it a listen then."
Shippy: Huh
Shippy: One sec my message didn't send
Shippy 4hits play and a pleasant soft rock melody plays from the ship speakers.
Holdr: "Hmmm. And where did you record this?"
Alek_Deckard: Do we actually get a song to listen to for it?
Shippy: No
Shippy: I'm not that creative
Shippy: "Well.. That's kinda....."
Shippy: "Lou'd be mighty mad if I went blabbing his routes..."
Shippy 4removes his hat and scratches his head thoughtfully
Holdr: "We don't need your routes. Just the area in which you picked the signal up."
Alek_Deckard: "It would be very helpful to us, and I'm sure Lou wouldn't whether he found out or not."
Alek_Deckard: wouldn't mind*
Alek_Deckard: Can't believe I forgot an entire word.
Shippy: "Tell ya what."
Shippy: "You look like fine gents."
Shippy: "Do me a favor, and I'll tell you right where to go."
Shippy: "Deal?"
Alek_Deckard: "I'm sure we have time to help, right Holdr?"
Shippy 4burps
Holdr: "Hmmm."
Holdr: "Sure."
Shippy 4finishes a bottle of whatever was in that crate
Holdr: 1d20+1 insight to see if he'll actually tell us
Fortuna: Holdr, insight to see if he'll actually tell us: [15] = 16
Shippy: Probably. 
Shippy: By looking at him, you can tell he's not especially bright, but has a good heart
Shippy: Would never intentionally drive someone off track
Holdr: Well there's that
Shippy: You just hope he can remember where he recorded it
Holdr: "What do you need."
Shippy: "I've been having a bit of a problem with some tough folks here in the port. Trying to get me to quit the job."
Shippy 4walks over to the open box and gets another bottle.
Shippy: "Say, you boys want some?"
Shippy 4offers a bottle
Alek_Deckard: "I'm afraid I don't drink...  whatever that is."
Shippy: "The crate fell over and broke, see."
Shippy: (You can clearly see it was crudely pried open with something)
Holdr: "And where would these folks be?"
Shippy 4walks back to the cockpit, bumping a large matal crate with begins to shake angrily and growl
Shippy: "Dammit!"
Shippy 4stabs at the crate with a taser until it quiets down
Shippy: Guys.
Holdr: I nudge Alek
Shippy: It's late, so we're gonna wrap it up here.
Alek_Deckard: I am nudged.
Holdr: "He must of picked up Ace."
Holdr: Oh good
Alek_Deckard: I giggle.
Shippy: Give me a week to sort out details of Shippys problem
Alek_Deckard: Also that's alright, I managed to get a Dracula reference in.
Shippy: It's a shame it was only Poen
Alek_Deckard: I wasn't really expecting that actually, for playing a vampire.
Holdr: Needs more monty python
Shippy: A Shippy reunion may have been nice
Alek_Deckard: Yeah, Thorn is all nerve gassed though, he's probably better by now but still.
Alek_Deckard: And Brigsby was off quietly drinking, likely with thoughts of dragons being horrible.
Shippy: Didn't he almost kill you a few times?
Shippy: By mistake, of course
Alek_Deckard: Sorta kinda,, there was a rowboat with holes, and someone sucked at swimming when it sank.
Shippy: Oh. Also eels
Alek_Deckard: Yeah, the eels weren't a very healthy encounter.
Shippy: That wasn't as much his fault though
Alek_Deckard: I'm sure some of the others will be joining us over at this end of the port before we're done visiting him though, and very definitely some of them should remember him.
Shippy: I'm guessing he had to look for another job after you bought his last ship
Shippy: Well, sorry there was no combat or anything
Heronius: that's not rare for us
Alek_Deckard: I'm fine, I got to have Alek be more Deckardy.
Igfig quit.
Shippy: I didn't get a chance to meet with Ig today, so today was mostly ad-libbing
