Igfig: All right. Since Ben isn't here, I guess we skip his initiation and go straight to the first adventure
handofevil: ben drops out of initians
Aplhonse: woo
MordecaiKrieg: Dun dun duns.
handofevil: initition
handofevil: I give up
Igfig: So you've all been sworn in as dogs and donned your coats
Igfig: and you head out on your first tur of duty
Igfig: *tour
Igfig: ride off into the dry hills
Igfig: first stop is the branch of...
Igfig: uh
Igfig: I forgot to give the town a name
Aplhonse: Noodle
Aplhonse: the branch of noodles
Igfig: any suggestions? that aren't noodle 
Aplhonse: Spaghetti
MordecaiKrieg: Umm..
Aplhonse: okay how about we take names from videogames thatd be fun
Aplhonse: like whiterun and stuff
MordecaiKrieg: The Branch of Donkey Kong 64.
Aplhonse: I hate you all
MordecaiKrieg: Nah.
handofevil: Wycliffe
handofevil: The first town is Wycliffe
Jacob_Quinn joined #pwot_dnd.
Jacob_Quinn: Sorry, didn't realize we were starting this early.
Aplhonse: its fine
Aplhonse: you havent missed anything
Igfig: Some sample names are "Whitechurch", "Tower Creek", and "Boxelder Canyon"
Aplhonse: we are dogs
Aplhonse: we are on our first trail of duty
Aplhonse: tour*
Aplhonse: okay how about
Paul_the_Dog: Hold on
MordecaiKrieg: The Branch of Churchtower?
Jacob_Quinn: Do we have Ben? Or are we just giving up on Ben?
Aplhonse: Green Tree Creek
Paul_the_Dog: What is our setting, climite and enviroment wise
Igfig: we are giving up on Ben until he shows up
Aplhonse: or Riverville
Jacob_Quinn: What are we naming here?
Igfig: Green Creek sounds good
Aplhonse: alrighty
Jacob_Quinn: I like Wheatport.
MordecaiKrieg: Dusty desert I can't remember how to spell plateau, oh that is how.  Hooray spellcheck.
Aplhonse: I thought spaghetti would work
Paul_the_Dog: So we are going to chicago
Aplhonse: yes
Igfig: The country you're riding through now is not plateaus... it's not desert here
Paul_the_Dog: It is forest
Paul_the_Dog: because of green creek
Aplhonse: if its green creek
Aplhonse: it may just be a regular little creek
Jacob_Quinn: The water is just REALLY mossy.
Paul_the_Dog: Nuh uh. It is chicago
Igfig: but it's rocky hills, chaparral, 
Aplhonse: waterfall, river, trees
Paul_the_Dog: Because the river there is green right now
Aplhonse: something simple for our first village
Igfig: The branch itself though is in a green valley, with a slow-moving creek at the bottom
Igfig: lots of mossy ponds
Igfig: short trees with wide branches
MordecaiKrieg: Ooooh mossy pondns.
MordecaiKrieg: ponds*
Aplhonse: decidious?
Aplhonse: the trees i mean
Igfig: Mostly, yeah
Alphonse: alright
Alphonse: lets head in then
Paul_the_Dog: "Hmm... This place is odd. It is peaceful."
Paul_the_Dog: "and easy to breathe in."
Igfig: Aright, you do
Alphonse: "Sin generally isn't out in the open"
Igfig: there don't seem to be too many people around, but those that do tip their hats politely
Igfig: *those that are
Alphonse: I nod my head from my horse
Alphonse: OOC here
Alphonse: it must be scary to see dogs riding into your village
MordecaiKrieg: I am reading the Book of Life at the moment, as I like to brush up on it when getting closer to new towns, letting Barton keep my horse with the others.
Alphonse: you know why they are there
Paul_the_Dog: I look them over with suspicion. 
Igfig: well sure, but they're, in theory, a good thing
Alphonse: yeah
Jacob_Quinn: I tip my hat in a polite but vaguely menacing way. "Morning."
Alphonse: ok back ic
Igfig: they bring mail, heal the sick, bless babies
Alphonse: oh yeah do we have any mail to deliver
MordecaiKrieg: (It'd only be scary I think if you knew you had done something wrong.  In lots of cases it'd probably be totally cordial, possibly even celebratory seeing as they can oversee various ceremonies.)
Jacob_Quinn: So we're like vengeful Oprahs. Handing out gifts and also sometimes people die.
Alphonse: yyes
Igfig: yep
Igfig: in fact, people kind of make a point of being friendly to dogs
Jacob_Quinn: Seeing as we're basically free to do what we want, I imagine people don
Igfig: partly because they're y'know, the representatives of the Lord of Life
Jacob_Quinn: 't try to get on our bad side much.
Igfig: and also because if you've got nothing to hide, there's no rason to be afraid
Alphonse: so do we have any mail to deliver?
Paul_the_Dog: Ben had all the mail
Igfig: some, yeah
Alphonse: alright
Alphonse: lets head in and ask some people for the people we are looking for
Alphonse: since I'm the best reader and writer until ben comes lets have me be the one holding onto the mail
Jacob_Quinn: Sounds good.
MordecaiKrieg: Alright.
Igfig: the usual thing to do is bring it to the Steward's office; he'd also be able to give you the overview of what's going on in the town
MordecaiKrieg: Probably for the best, if I were holding on to the mail it'd get mixed up and lost in my bag probably.
Jacob_Quinn: Seems as good a plan as any.
Alphonse: alright lets go to the Steward to start that
Alphonse: what are the names on the letters?
Paul_the_Dog: "Analthrasher69"
Igfig: Nobody you recognize... oh, actually there's one for your sister, Judith, who married a guy from this town and lives here now
Jacob_Quinn: I bet that guy sins.
Alphonse: ooh
Alphonse: Lets go to the steward 
MordecaiKrieg: the steward probably can either point us in the direction we need to deliver the mail or could hand it out himself, depending on how things go.
Alphonse: though I'm nervous to see my sister after what happened to ourbrother
Igfig: As you come to the main street, you notice that a number of the buildings look somewhat fire-damaged
Igfig: Most families have a lot of kids, fyi
Paul_the_Dog: "Hmmm."
Jacob_Quinn: Mormons and whatnot.
Jacob_Quinn: I ask a passerby "What happened there?"
Igfig: you are all fairly likely to have some kind of relative in any town you visit
Igfig: well, maybe not Paul
Alphonse: okay then
Paul_the_Dog: I have no relatives in any town
Paul_the_Dog: except my village
Alphonse: lets go to the steward first before we ask whats going on in the town
Alphonse: he will know best
Igfig: do you not ask the guy what happened, then?
Alphonse: nah
Jacob_Quinn: Er... I blurt out "Nevermind!" and spur my horse away.
Alphonse: lets enter the stewards office
Igfig: kay
Alphonse: paul goes in first to intimidate the steward
Alphonse: by being big and tough
Igfig: one second, just checking how a steward might address you
Alphonse: alright
Igfig: title-wise I mean
Jacob_Quinn: I'm forced to assume Paul is just Ivan Drago.
Igfig: oh whatever
Jacob_Quinn: I believe "Whatup Dogs?" is the traditional greeting.
MordecaiKrieg: Dun dun duns.
Igfig: The Steward is willing to see you right away, unsurprisingly
Alphonse: cant be much in way of appointments in this small town
Paul_the_Dog: I cross my arms and lean against the back wall
MordecaiKrieg: I put my book away and walk past Paul into the Steward's office.
Alphonse: i assume paul is leaning on the office wall
Jacob_Quinn: I'm assuming he has chairs. If so, I sit in one.
Igfig: He's a middle-aged, friendly-looking fellow with a pair of glasses that looks like they must have come from out East
Paul_the_Dog: This is what paul looks like basically
Paul_the_Dog: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tvbl_pawTg8/Tp8JH5yXb1I/AAAAAAAADOE/N1XpIcopBuk/s1600/Men%2Bof%2Bthe%2BNavajo.jpg
Alphonse: "Good day, we have some mail we need to deliver for this town. And I'm sure all of us are wondering what happened to those burned buildings"
Igfig: "Ah, brothers! Welcome to Green Creek. I hope your journey was uneventful?"
Paul_the_Dog: I grunt. "Straight to the point as always Alphonse."
Alphonse: err i said that after he talked
Igfig: right
Alphonse: "I don't like to waste time paul"
Jacob_Quinn: "Quiet enough. You have a beautiful town."
Paul_the_Dog: "Well neither do I but one thing at a time my friend."
MordecaiKrieg: "As pleasant as one could request of the King."
Alphonse: "If you mince words while a man is bleeding to death you lose"
Paul_the_Dog: I grunt again
Jacob_Quinn: "Nobody ever wants to talk about how beautiful the towns are."
Alphonse: "next time jacob, I promise"
Jacob_Quinn: Jacob's eyes light up.
Jacob_Quinn: He is satisfied.
Igfig: "Thank you. Oh, well, we've been having some trouble with bandits lately. They mostly hit the outlying farms, but one time they came right down the main street."
Alphonse: so ill add a 4d100 relationship dice with jacob now
Jacob_Quinn: That seems fair.
Alphonse: "Don't you have a sheriff to put down things like that?"
Jacob_Quinn: "Have they hurt anyone?"
Paul_the_Dog: "Where are they."
Paul_the_Dog: I look at the man
Alphonse: igs typing
Igfig: (I had to check... I don't think they have sherriffs, really)
Paul_the_Dog: "Well? Speak."
Alphonse: im almost positive that they do
MordecaiKrieg: Might depend on the size of the town.
Alphonse: i guess yeah
MordecaiKrieg: If it is small enough or close enough to a larger town they might rely on the other town's law enforcement.
Igfig: I think maybe the steward is supposed to handle that sort of thing?
Jacob_Quinn: "Sherriff or no, clearly it's a problem we can help with."
Alphonse: "I suppose so, its not too hard to see what our course of action is"
Igfig: "We don't have a sherriff, but we have some men who are ready to posse up... the problem is, that's why they set those houses on fire. To keep us from chasing them."
Alphonse: "I would like the help from the men if they are willing to join us"
Igfig: "That's their modus operandi, if you will. Leader's a man named Flamin' Jack."
Jacob_Quinn: "Seems as appropriate a name as any. Do you know where they hide?"
Igfig: "They'll be at your disposal if you need them. No, we have no idea. Whenever we try to follow them they set something on fire."
Alphonse: "hmm... perhaps we can find some way to track them"
Alphonse: "we have our signature hunter here, maybe find some mud similar to a place nearby or something"
Jacob_Quinn: "Then perhaps is best if we follow them while your men take care of the blaze, if it comes to that."
Igfig: Mostly they haven't killed anyone, but they did burn down Brother Elijah's house while he was inside."
Alphonse: "Is he injured?"
Jacob_Quinn: OOC which one of you is the hunter?
MordecaiKrieg: (Yo)
Jacob_Quinn: "Mordecai, do you think you could track these men?"
Igfig: (Also, Jacob, you think you have a distant cousin of that name who lives around here, probably the same guy)
MordecaiKrieg: "If we know the direction they travel from it would make it easier.  It is possible, I don't know this area very well but if we can find their trail I could follow it."
Igfig: "He's dead, I'm afraid. And that opens up a whole new kettle of fish."
Alphonse: "Bandits probably leave all kinds of footprints, lets go check the scene"
MordecaiKrieg: "A death is always hard on a town."
Igfig: "He didn't have any sons old enough, so it's just his wife, Sister Constance, taking care of that family."
Igfig: "She seems to be doing all right for herself, though."
Alphonse: ig is something like preventing you from typing
Igfig: "They typically leave to the east, but not always"
Alphonse: maybe its just cause im watching a video so time seems more specific
Igfig: I just have to think about what I'm writing more than usual
Alphonse: alright
Alphonse: lets leave the mail here for now
Alphonse: then head off to check the scene?
MordecaiKrieg: (Might want to slow things down for him then.)
Igfig: that's the usual thing, yeah
Jacob_Quinn: WE should at least offer our condolences to Sister Constance."
Igfig: with the mail I mean
Igfig: right
Paul_the_Dog: "We should bless them."
MordecaiKrieg: "Yes, and perhaps see if we can help her out if we are able."
Alphonse: "Has brother elijah been" i forget the word, blessed, cast off to the after life
Igfig: "Yes, his funeral was some weeks ago."
Alphonse: "How often do the bandits come?"
Alphonse: maybe we can follow them back all sneaky like
Alphonse: or just execute them there in town
Jacob_Quinn: If we can track them before their next attack, I think that would be better. No need to risk the safety of the town.
Igfig: "Every week or two? It's hard to say."
Alphonse: "Then we will hunt them down"
MordecaiKrieg: We'd have to capture them for the latter, it'd probably be simpler to deal with them at their camp.
Igfig: "That's very good to hear."
Paul_the_Dog: "Are there any other villages near here?"
MordecaiKrieg: "And have you heard if they've had any issues with the bandits?"
Igfig: "Not for a few days in any direction. And no, we haven't."
Paul_the_Dog: "Hmmm."
Jacob_Quinn: "Very well, then. If you'll direct us to Sister Constance's house, we'll see to her family and then begin our hunt."
Alphonse: "Here is the mail we have to deliver, you can hand that out at your convenience"
Alphonse: "I'd like to begin the hunt right away"
Igfig: "Elijah's farm is [directions], if you're planning to head that way. Or I suppose it's Constance's, now."
Alphonse: "It would be good news to her if we visit with news of justice for her husband's death"
Jacob_Quinn: "I suppose we can at least see if there's a trail to pick up before we see her."
Igfig: "Indeed it would. Lord bless you, brothers."
Alphonse: "that would be fine"
Alphonse: "and you too"
Alphonse: ok lets head out
MordecaiKrieg: "Lord bless you as well Steward."
Jacob_Quinn tips his hat and strolls out.
Alphonse: sso lets head to main street?
Alphonse: see if there are footprints or something
Igfig: Oh, did I miss giving you his name? It's Brother Derrick
Igfig: anyway
MordecaiKrieg heads back out and pets Barton on the head where he was waiting outside.
Jacob_Quinn: Oh yeah we have a a dog.
Alphonse: yup
Jacob_Quinn: I bet he could follow the scent.
Alphonse: i dont think he is a bloodhound
Igfig: There are lots of footprints in the main street, as people have been walking around a lot
Jacob_Quinn: Other dogs can smell things, too.
Alphonse: what about prints heading out of town east?
MordecaiKrieg: They are probably riding horses anyways, I don't know how that would complicate things.
Alphonse: lets leave it to mordecai
Igfig: the most recent attack was a week ago, so the trail would be quite cold by now
Alphonse: oh
Alphonse: dang
Alphonse: lets go to the farms then unless you guys think we might find something at one of the burnt houses
MordecaiKrieg: I don't know if we would.
Alphonse: then lets go to the wife
Igfig: aright
Jacob_Quinn: Once we're out of earshot of any villagers, I say "These bandits may well be the Lord's vengeance for sin in this village. We will protect them, but we should be watchful."
MordecaiKrieg: Any tracks out by farms that were attacked are more likely to be undisturbed as well, less traffic.
Alphonse: yya\
Paul_the_Dog: "Prior to converting, I would raid nearby villages. I am surprised that this is the only around."
Igfig: The farm is, as mentioned, on the outskirts of the branch. It's fairly small, and the crops, what's left of them, look pretty sickly. Evidently Brother Elijah was not too talented a farmer.
MordecaiKrieg: "There may not be any good places for towns outside of this small valley for quite some distance, makes more sense to build where a town is viable."
Alphonse: maybe the wife isnt very good
Alphonse: snce husband has been dead for weeks
Alphonse: she may be struggling lets go in
Jacob_Quinn: I approach the door and knock.
MordecaiKrieg: I stay back a little bit, Barton seated on the ground next to me.
Paul_the_Dog: I lean somewhere where she can see me when she opens the door
Igfig: The farmhouse looks to have been only half-burned; the ashes and scorched timbers have been cleared away in a neat pile. The rest of the house has been repaired simply but competently, and you can see a small new wing under construction at the far side.
Igfig: Right, so you knock
Igfig: You hear voices inside, loud footsteps
Paul_the_Dog: "Hmmm."
Igfig: and then the door is flung open by a redoubtable woman with steel-gray hair, holding a shotgun.
Jacob_Quinn: I remove my hat.
Alphonse: I narrow my eyes
MordecaiKrieg puts his hands up.
Alphonse: surely she will recognize the coats
Paul_the_Dog: I grunt and cross my arms
Jacob_Quinn: "Sister Constance? I'm Jacob Quinn. My father was Paul Quinn. I believe your husband was a cousin of mine."
Paul_the_Dog: I look her right in the eyes
MordecaiKrieg: Yeah, but showing my hands means she can see that I'm holding nothing threatening.
Igfig: She softens a bit at the sight of your coats, but still looks suspicious.
Igfig: "What do y'all want, then? If this is about Edie and Brother Samuel, I've already said I don't need his help. And he's not interested anyway."
Alphonse: "No, we are only here to offer our condolensces"
Alphonse: "What do edie and samuel want though?"
Jacob_Quinn: "No ma'am. We've come to see if you and your family need any help, and to assure you that we'll find your husband's killers and bring them to justice. Is there anything you need?"
Igfig: "Oh." She lowers the shotgun."
Alphonse: "We plan to bring justice to your husband's murderers"
Alphonse: im STARVING im going to go make food you guys take over talking
Paul_the_Dog: Alphonse pushes the woman aside and heads straight for the kitchen
Igfig: "Well then. I'd invite you in, but the young'uns are having lunch and there's nowhere to sit."
Igfig: oh
Alphonse: I DO NOT
Igfig: okay
Jacob_Quinn: "We won't intrude on your hospitality, ma'am. We just came to make sure you were doing alright, and bless you and your children if you'll allow it."
Igfig: She yells something at the kids and then comes outside.
Igfig: "Good to hear that, then. But nah, I don't need nobody's help. We're doing good for ourselves now."
Paul_the_Dog: "Hmmm."
Igfig: @Alphonse's question "Oh? I'd have thought the Steward would've told you."
Jacob_Quinn: "He only told us that your husband had been killed by the bandits, and that you might need our help. Do you remember anything about the attack? Anything that could help us stop this from happening to another family?"
Igfig: "Since Elijah died, there's been no men in the house older than Daniel, and he's no more'n twelve."
Igfig: (I'll finish answering Alphonse's question first)
Alphonse: good cause im back with STEW
Alphonse: I cover paul in boiling hot stew
Paul_the_Dog: I run Alphonse through with my sword
Alphonse: welp
Paul_the_Dog: ("My hand slipped")
Igfig: "So some people been saying that's not right, and since my Edwina's of marrying age, and the only man old enough and single is Brother Samuel, they've been saying those two should be wed."
Alphonse: (pretty much)
Igfig: "But the boy's not interested, and I'm pretty much fine with that."
Alphonse: "So the village has been pushing for them to wed?"
Paul_the_Dog: I nudge Alphonse
Paul_the_Dog: "We found your future wife."
Alphonse: alphonse sighs and rubs his temples
Igfig: "Yup. Especially Brother Hamilton. That'd be Brother Samuel's dad."
Igfig: Alphonse, you think Hamilton is the name of your sister's husband
Alphonse: "Perhaps we should have a word with brother Hamilton before we go to find the bandits, which speaking of, do you have any idea where they may be?"
Jacob_Quinn: "Why is Brother Samuel not interested? Surely your daughter would be a fine match for a young man, and your family could use his help."
Alphonse: okay
Igfig: I should mention that your sister Judith is, uh, a good deal older than you. By your father's first wife, if he had two.
Alphonse: alright
Alphonse: she'd still be military 
Alphonse: born*
Igfig: "That's his business, and as he's not much of a catch by any standard I'm not too broke up over it."
Igfig: She seems the exact opposite of broke up over it, in fact
Alphonse: (OOOOOHHH BUURRRRRNN (LIKE THE HOUSES))
Alphonse: so guys do you think we should go talk to hamilton first, or the bandits
Paul_the_Dog: "Hmmm."
Jacob_Quinn: "Well, it's your business. And of course, Brother Samuel's as well."
MordecaiKrieg: Well, I forget, can men be forced by the community to marry?  Cause if Samuel doesn't want to then her daughter isn't obligated to, if he was then she would be.
Alphonse: no but the man can force the woman to marry him
MordecaiKrieg: Yar I remembered that bit.
Alphonse: so i want to stop hamilton and co from convincing him to force her
Igfig: "Brother Hamilton and his family lives back in town, at [directions]. The bandits... well, they came from the east, but I was a bit too busy afterwards to see where they went."
Igfig: Marriage is a bit complicated
Alphonse: I think hamilton is the way to go first
Alphonse: we dont want to get injured by the bandits before dealing with this
Alphonse: and besides we still arent sure where they went
Igfig: In theory, both parties have to be willing for a marriage
Alphonse: maybe we can pick up clues 
Igfig: and a marriage without love is technically a sin
Alphonse: and hell maybe they are connected
Alphonse: so I vote go to hamilton
Paul_the_Dog: ("Marry this woman or I will cut your junk off")
Jacob_Quinn: The real problem might just be a sin, I guess.
MordecaiKrieg: Ah, so women don't choose who they marry, but they can say no generally, sorta.
Jacob_Quinn: If the bandits are just a symptom, perhaps we should find the disease
Igfig: but you guys are God's Watchdogs, and what you say is law, so you could probably force some people to get married if you wanted to
Alphonse: awww yis
Paul_the_Dog: Ahahahha
Alphonse: you know that is interesting
Paul_the_Dog: Alphonse
Alphonse: the wife is not handing well
Paul_the_Dog: Get your list of OTP's
Alphonse: the farm may starve
Alphonse: so maybe we SHOULD force them to get married
Alphonse: in the book marriage without love is a sin, UNLESS it is written under heaven
Alphonse: AKA by us
Igfig: aye
Alphonse: so if we want them all to survive well
Alphonse: maybe we should convince samuel to want to marry the girl
Jacob_Quinn: We should at least try to convince them first.
Alphonse: well actually
Alphonse: I think I agree with Hamilton
Jacob_Quinn: Forcing them to marry may just cause problems down the road.
Igfig: and actually you're not so sure that she's doing a bad job, Alphonse
MordecaiKrieg: You're not much of a farmer, you're a medical doctor, yar.
MordecaiKrieg: It could just be a bad year's crop for all we know.
MordecaiKrieg: I don't think any of us are farmers.
Alphonse: do I see any signs of malnutrition or anyhting ig?
Jacob_Quinn: I mean her house was burned down and her husband killed a couple weeks ago. You can hardly expect her to be back to normal, even with a man around.
Alphonse: i guess yeah
Alphonse: regardless, its a small town and maybe samuel will be the only boy for quite a while
Igfig: the crops are bad, but it looks like they're more planted badly than are being maintained badly
Alphonse: itd be bad if the young girl got too old unwed
MordecaiKrieg: And I don't feel like upsetting the lady who answers her door with a shotgun in hand.
Alphonse: she's probably just stressed
Alphonse: either way
Alphonse: I think our direction is Hamilton for now
Igfig: aright then
Jacob_Quinn: Let's try the Mass Effect thing first.
Jacob_Quinn: If need be, we can fiat it later.
Alphonse: alright
MordecaiKrieg: Marriages from across towns are a thing, we could probably keep an eye out for potential candidates in the towns we go to after this.
Igfig: Mass Effect? Just warp straight to the next town?
Igfig: oh
Alphonse: no it means spread a plague to prevent any followers from breeding
Igfig: oh, haha
Igfig: genophagery
Alphonse: I DO think we should just warp there though
Jacob_Quinn: I was thinking "Run around convincing people of something." But I'm all for a little genophaging.
Igfig: Anyway, you warp to Brother Hamilton's
Alphonse: *sound effects*
Paul_the_Dog: Paul sniff's the air
Paul_the_Dog: "Demon magic."
Paul_the_Dog: "We must be careful.
Alphonse: uh
Igfig: he owns the general store, he and his family live above.
Alphonse: alright
Alphonse: lets head in and talk to him
Paul_the_Dog: "The next thing we know, we could be teleported somewhere less friendly
Igfig: right
Igfig: Hamilton is a short, red-faced man
Alphonse: lets burn down the store
Paul_the_Dog: Red-faced, as in he is indian
Paul_the_Dog: like me
Alphonse: or just angry
Alphonse: no if he were mountain ig would tell us
Paul_the_Dog: Igfig  Hamilton is a short mountain
Igfig: Red-faced as in he looks like he's constantly either really angry or really out of breath
Paul_the_Dog: Is he fat
Igfig: a bit
Alphonse: whats that even matter
Igfig: "Oh! Hello, Brother Watchdogs! What can I do for you today?
Paul_the_Dog: Fattie
Alphonse: are you going to beat the crap out of him
Paul_the_Dog: Yes
Alphonse: "We would like to talk to you about brother Samue
Alphonse: l
Jacob_Quinn: "Greetings, Brother. We're here to ask about your son, Samuel."
Paul_the_Dog: "Hmmm."
Igfig: "Ohoho, perfect perfect. Going to make him finally shape up and marry that girl, eh? Go ahead, don't be afraid to give him a push."
Alphonse: ok so now we need to decide guys
Alphonse: i still think he should marry her
Igfig: "Not a moment too soon, I'll warrant."
Alphonse: "Why? Is there some sort of deadline?"
MordecaiKrieg: We don't need to decide now, we haven't heard what Brother Samuel has to say on it.
Jacob_Quinn: I think eh should marry her.
Jacob_Quinn: But we should talk to him.
Alphonse: alright
Alphonse: yeah
Alphonse: convince him to
Alphonse: not force him
Jacob_Quinn: "We're here to help you convince him, or at least talk to him about it. Is he around?"
Alphonse: what if samuel is gay
Paul_the_Dog: "We must try to convince him. But if not, we must force him."
MordecaiKrieg: I'm thinking we could find someone in another town to marry her after we've left.
Alphonse: Ig I mean
Paul_the_Dog: "Then he is in sin and must be killed."
Jacob_Quinn: Seeing as we're Mormons, I'd say yeah we shoot him.
Alphonse: pre-20th century people actually didnt care much
Paul_the_Dog: Same with the disobedient wife. 
Alphonse: lets not shoot anyone yet
Igfig: "He's in back. Doing the figures. That's all he seems to be much use for, anyway."
Alphonse: wait ig i think you missed by question
Alphonse: I was asking about why hamilton said "and not a moment too soon"
Paul_the_Dog: "We could take him out on a bandit hunting trip."
Igfig: sorry Waffle, which question?
Alphonse: 18:28	Igfig	"Not a moment too soon, I'll warrant." 18:28	Alphonse	"Why? Is there some sort of deadline?"
Igfig: "Oh, no. Just be good to get him out of the house, somewhere where he'll have to learn to man up proper."
Alphonse: "Okay, well we'll head back and talk to him then"
Paul_the_Dog: "We could take him out bandit hunting if you desire."
Jacob_Quinn: Guys, Samuel is a NERD.
Jacob_Quinn: 80s movie makeover tiiime!
Igfig: "Right. Let me know if you need anything. Got a sale on flour right now."
Igfig: Aright so you go into the back room
Alphonse: we could prove to his dad that samuel is badass and to lay off the kid
Alphonse: man so many options
Igfig: Samuel is indeed in there, hunched over at a table
Alphonse: we can: get hamilton to stop, convince samuel to marry, kill everyone, proof to hamilton that samuel is badass
Alphonse: I walk up and tap him on the shoulder
Jacob_Quinn: "Brother Samuel! How do you feel about getting married?"
Igfig: a slim, somewhat worried-looking sort
Paul_the_Dog: "And how do you feel about hunting bandits?"
Alphonse: "You are all insane"
Igfig: He's not, like, unaware of your entrance
Alphonse: Alphonse rubs his temples again
Igfig: he looks up, and a series of complicated and unreadable emotions flash across his face
Jacob_Quinn: *mutters to Paul* "Nerd.
Igfig: "Oh, uh... Brothers? Can I help you?"
MordecaiKrieg: "Brothers, you've hardly introduced yourselves and already you badger him with one topic at least he's heard too much of."
Alphonse: "I apologize for my companions, Samuel would you please explain why you have no interest in marrying" (WHATEVER HER NAME WAS"
Jacob_Quinn:  "Fine, then. How are the figures? And the flour? I hear the flour is on sale."
Igfig: Edwina, or Edie for short
Alphonse: "Please don't be nervous"
Alphonse: alright
MordecaiKrieg: "Greetings Brother Samuel, I am Brother Mordecai, this is Brother Alphonse, Brother Jacob, and Brother Paul."
Paul_the_Dog: I grunt
Igfig: okay you're all saying different things at once
Alphonse: lets ignore jacob cause fuck small talk
Alphonse: then mordecai introduced us after samuel said hello
Alphonse: then I apologized for the others being blunt
Alphonse: and asked the question
Alphonse: i think thats the timeline
Jacob_Quinn: Well I tried to get right down to it and SOMEBODY told me I was being too blunt.
Igfig: "The figures are... fine? No, I don't think I would like to fight the bandits very much.:
Igfig: He avoids the question about marriage
Alphonse: hmm
Alphonse: we need to drag it out of him
Alphonse: maybe say something to make him respond
Paul_the_Dog: "You missed a question Samuel."
Jacob_Quinn: Can we give him a tough love speech?
Alphonse: "HEY EDDIE IS PRETTY HOT HUH"
Alphonse: im kidding i dont say that
Paul_the_Dog: I look him in the eye.
Igfig: I think
Igfig: it's time
Jacob_Quinn: That starts with "Listen 'ere you lil' shit."
Igfig: for a CONFLICT
Paul_the_Dog: GASP
Alphonse: THIS IS TRUE
Jacob_Quinn: AIRHOOOOOORN.
Alphonse: BATTLE MUSIC
Paul_the_Dog: I ESCALATE TO A SWORD AND KILL HIM
Paul_the_Dog: Wait no
Alphonse: oh my god
Paul_the_Dog: Tha tis a terrible idea
Igfig: one sec though, I need to fill in a few stats
Alphonse: oh my king of life
Alphonse: if its all of us against this poor kid
Alphonse: i dont think thats a good idea
MordecaiKrieg: Just in time for me to be called for supper actually.
Alphonse: its not much of a conflict so much as a slaughter
Alphonse: barrage of questions
Paul_the_Dog: Mordecai bails
MordecaiKrieg hears Barton barking out front and goes to check on him.
Paul_the_Dog: ACuity and heart right?

Paul_the_Dog: RAISE 5 6
Dogtuna Raised 11. Paul_the_Dog's pool is [2, 4, 5]

Igfig: no wait
Igfig: I changed it
Paul_the_Dog: what do I do
Igfig: what you can do now is say PUT # # # to put specific numbers in your pool
Igfig: so PUT 5 6 will undo that
Alphonse: Igfig is once again the best
Igfig: Oh, I forgot about relationships though
Alphonse: paul do the put 
Paul_the_Dog: PUT 5 6
Dogtuna Added [5, 6] to pool. Paul_the_Dog's pool is [2, 4, 5, 5, 6]
Alphonse: niiiiice
Igfig: Alphonse gets to add 1d6 to his pool because Samuel is a relation
Paul_the_Dog: I have about an hour before I need to go
Paul_the_Dog: Do I get to add intimidating
Alphonse: not unless youre being intimidating
Alphonse: oh alright
Alphonse: 1d6
Dogtuna Alphonse's pool is [1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6]
Igfig: and Samuel gets 1d6 as well because he has a Relationship with Edwina and I think that qualifies
Igfig: 1d6
Dogtuna Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6]
Igfig: Anyway
Igfig: I guess I should go first, but I don't want to
Alphonse: someone up there said he missed a question
Alphonse: so they should go first raising with that
Paul_the_Dog: I did
Paul_the_Dog: "You missed a question Samuel"
Alphonse: paul
Paul_the_Dog: RAISE 2 4
Dogtuna Raised 6. Paul_the_Dog's pool is [5, 5, 6]

Paul_the_Dog: 1d6 intimidating
Dogtuna Paul_the_Dog's pool is [4, 5, 5, 6]
Igfig: okay, let's decide on the order first though
Alphonse: hmmm
Alphonse: maybe since paul started
Alphonse: paul samuel me samuel jacob samuel
Alphonse: since his raises affect us all
Paul_the_Dog: I'm leaning against the wall while everyone else is pretty much beside him
Alphonse: it will stay even
Igfig: Hmm
Igfig: Yeah, I guess that's reasonable
Igfig: but I reserve the right to not raise if I don't think he'd have something to say
Alphonse: alright
Igfig: Samuel looks back. He's... I wouldn't say pretty, per se, but... moe maybe? He looks scared, and you feel a little bad.
Igfig: SEE 6
Dogtuna Reversed the Blow for 6! Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 6, 6]
Alphonse: ouch
Igfig: not gonna raise

Alphonse: "Alphonse, I understand marriage is a big leap of responsibility, and a tough subject to talk about, but it's also a reality you cannot just ignore"
Alphonse: RAISE 3, 4
Dogtuna Please raise with two dice, Alphonse.
Alphonse: RAISE 3 4
Dogtuna Raised 7. Alphonse's pool is [1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6]

Igfig: hmm, I should make a note to permit commas
Alphonse: I meant samue
Alphonse: ahahaha
Alphonse: anyways i said that to samuel
Igfig: NOTE permit commas on raises, etc
Dogtuna Noted.
Alphonse: dogtuna is like fucking sentient at this point
Paul_the_Dog: "Alphonse, you need to convince Samuel to marry. Not yourself."
Jacob_Quinn: I'm pretty sure it's smarter than I am.
Paul_the_Dog: NOTE This is totes a hidden function
Dogtuna Noted.
Alphonse: mordecai's dog is smarter than you are
Igfig: Paul, it's still Alphonse's turn

Igfig: SEE 1
Dogtuna That was not enough to see a raise of 7, Igfig.
Igfig: what
Alphonse: you turned the blow last turn
Paul_the_Dog: 1 does not equal 7
Alphonse: that doesnt carry over to a new see
Igfig: oh right, turning the blow applies to my next raise, not my next see
Alphonse: yar
Igfig: SEE 2 5
Dogtuna Blocked for 7. Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6]
Alphonse: otherwise youd have just double turned which makes no sense
Igfig: "But why do I have to marry Edie? Why can't I wait for someone I'd actually love?"
Igfig: oh, I forgot to roll some traits
Igfig: on Paul's turn, shoulda rolled for his "moe" trait
Igfig: 1d4
Dogtuna Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6]
Alphonse: so desu ne
Paul_the_Dog: とてもかわいいです
Igfig: the word I'm looking for is "bel" in french, which is a masculinization of the word "belle"
Jacob_Quinn: "Totes adorbs," I think is what you're looking for.
Igfig: the usual masculine is "beau", so saying "bel" implies a certain femininity
Igfig: anyway
Alphonse: ya we got it dont worry
Jacob_Quinn: "Metrosexual."
Igfig: Gonna apply his 2d10 trait Earnest
Igfig: 2d10
Dogtuna Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6, 6, 9]

Alphonse: oh
Alphonse: ig wait
Alphonse: do put 2 4
Igfig: ok
Alphonse: and then raise again

Paul_the_Dog: I will have to
Paul_the_Dog: I am just going to slam my fists down on the table
Alphonse: or you can give
Alphonse: leave it to us
Paul_the_Dog: We'll see

Igfig: SEE 1 6
Dogtuna Blocked for 7. Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6, 9]

Alphonse: ya probably
Igfig: "And doesn't it say in the Book of Life that a marriage without love is sinful?"
Alphonse: awww shit
Alphonse: paul
Alphonse: you can use your ook of life item
Igfig: 1d8 Read up on the Book of Life
Dogtuna Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9]
Alphonse: to add mroe dice so you dont have to give or escalate
Paul_the_Dog: Oh hey!
Paul_the_Dog: and my dog coat since I can give marriages without love

Igfig: RAISE 6 3
Dogtuna Raised 9. Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 3, 5, 8, 9]
MordecaiKrieg: I don't think the coat quite fits there.
Alphonse: i think you could bring up "also if its sanctioned under the king"
Alphonse: so we need to see 9
Alphonse: i think it works mordecai
Alphonse: showing his authority
Igfig: You have to actually mention the coat to use it
Igfig: like "This coat gives me the authority to make it not a sin" or something
Alphonse: ok
Alphonse: hmmm
Igfig: or actively use the coat I guess
Alphonse: SEE 1 2 3 3 FALLOUT 4
Dogtuna Took the Blow for 9. Alphonse's pool is [5]
Paul_the_Dog: "You are correct Samuel. However, you missed the part where it talks about being sanctioned under the king. You see this coat Samuel? It means I represent the king of life. I can authorize a loveless marriage."
Alphonse: dont forget to see you two
Paul_the_Dog: SEE 5 5
Dogtuna Blocked for 10. Paul_the_Dog's pool is [1, 1]
Jacob_Quinn: SEE 5 4
Dogtuna Blocked for 9. Jacob_Quinn's pool is [2, 4, 2, 4]
Paul_the_Dog: Can I raise with 1?
Alphonse: you have to use two dice
Alphonse: i suggest
Paul_the_Dog: Crap
Alphonse: you dont raise that 2
Alphonse: he will just turn the blow
Alphonse: then use that damn 9
Paul_the_Dog: I don't have a 2
Paul_the_Dog: I have a 1
Alphonse: oh yeah
Alphonse: then you just give
Alphonse: maybe take back that SEE and give to save your 5
Igfig: unless you have something else to bring up
Paul_the_Dog: "I'm done talking about this Samuel. You're going to marry her." I nod to the other two. "Take care of him."
Paul_the_Dog: GIVE
Dogtuna Paul_the_Dog received fallout: [2, 4, 4].
Dogtuna Paul_the_Dog Gave, saving a 1.
Alphonse: 8 fallout
Alphonse: ouch
Paul_the_Dog: I walk out
Alphonse: so its my turn then
Alphonse: since he gave
Alphonse: hm
Alphonse: 1d6 persuasive
Dogtuna Alphonse's pool is [5, 6]
Alphonse: niiiicee
Igfig: wow, maybe I made this guy too tough
Jacob_Quinn: Or he just really doesn't want to get married.
Alphonse: "I understand that you don't love her YET, but lets be real here Samuel. Your town is fairly isolated and there isn't much of an option here. She's a lovely young lady and you'd be very happy with her"
Alphonse: raise 5 6
Alphonse: RAISE 5 6
Dogtuna Raised 11. Alphonse's pool is []
MordecaiKrieg: I mean he does seem young and stubborn, maybe he's too tough, but it wouldn't necessarily be out of character for him.  Also he did get some nice rolls.
Alphonse: that is true
Alphonse: I think its a nice challenge for us
MordecaiKrieg: I mean he got an 8 on that last 1d8.
Alphonse: that 9 is really going to screw us though
Igfig: "There could be... other options."
Jacob_Quinn: I can roll a d10 on my Dog trait.
Jacob_Quinn: It might save us.
Igfig: Rolling a trait that's a secret
Igfig: 2d4
Dogtuna Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9]
Alphonse: OOOOOOH HE LIKES SOMEONNNEEEE
Alphonse: DAANG
Alphonse: yeah we're screwed
Paul_the_Dog: OOOOOOOOOOOOH HE'S GAY
Alphonse: lets cut our losses
Alphonse: GIVE
Dogtuna Alphonse received fallout: [1, 1, 2, 3].
Dogtuna lfkhlkblghgkgkl
Igfig: okay
Igfig: we'll have to PUT our previous pools back in
Paul_the_Dog: "Alphonse. You've destroyed our entire faith. How did you do that."
Alphonse: "ONE FELL SWOOP"
Jacob_Quinn: PUT 2 2 4 4
Dogtuna Added [2, 2, 4, 4] to pool. Jacob_Quinn's pool is [2, 2, 4, 4]
Igfig: PUT 1 1 3 5 8 9
Dogtuna Added [1, 1, 3, 5, 8, 9] to pool. Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 3, 5, 8, 9]
MordecaiKrieg: 6d6
Dogtuna MordecaiKrieg's pool is [3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6]
Igfig: In retrospect, adding a secret trait doesn't really make sense
Igfig: so I'm not gonna keep the rolls from that
Alphonse: ok
Paul_the_Dog: The secret trait is really just DM OH CRAP I SCREWED UP trait
Alphonse: no thats a d200
Jacob_Quinn: That actually seems not super useful.
Igfig: okay Mordecai, my last raise was "And doesn't it say in the Book of Life that a marriage without love is sinful?"
Jacob_Quinn: 200 d sixes would be better?
Paul_the_Dog: I am tempted to type that but I would destroy everything
Jacob_Quinn: Or even 200 d1s.
MordecaiKrieg: I thought there had been responses to that and the last thing was Other options...?
Alphonse: done with the experience
Paul_the_Dog: Yes
Paul_the_Dog: I responded
Paul_the_Dog: and gave
Paul_the_Dog: and stormed out
Alphonse: and then I saw and gave
Alphonse: so its jacob and mordecai
Paul_the_Dog: and then Alphonse did his
Igfig: yeah, but I just wanted you to see my last raise to represent that you've been here all this time
MordecaiKrieg: Ah, alrighty.
Alphonse: ok
Igfig: it was for 9
MordecaiKrieg: Alright.
MordecaiKrieg: "As I heard brother Alphonse say and as it also says in the Book of Life, a marriage sanctioned under the King of Life is free of sin.  I see where you are coming from though.
MordecaiKrieg: BLOCK 4 5
Igfig: aight
Igfig: just SEE 45
MordecaiKrieg: SEE 4 5
Dogtuna Blocked for 9. MordecaiKrieg's pool is [3, 4, 5, 6]
Igfig: er, 4 5
Igfig: okay
MordecaiKrieg: Right, wrong caps word.
Igfig: so now my current raise
Alphonse: ?
Igfig: I forgot what I was going to say
MordecaiKrieg: Something about other options.
Igfig: yeah...
Igfig: "And I'm sure the King of Life would want me to be true to my Stewardship of myself, regardless of what others might think."
Igfig: RAISE 8 3
Dogtuna Raised 11. Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 5, 9]
Alphonse: godDAMN
Jacob_Quinn: Jesus,
Alphonse: king of life*
Igfig: I rolled just too well
Alphonse: so mordecai and jacob need to see if they can
Igfig: also you guys haven't been traiting very hard I think
Jacob_Quinn: Well, I guess let me run in my Dog trait.
Alphonse: we dont have anything really worth
Jacob_Quinn: 1d10
Dogtuna Jacob_Quinn's pool is [2, 2, 4, 4, 9]
Jacob_Quinn: SHABAM.
Alphonse: WOO
Igfig: nice
Alphonse: BABOOOOOM
Alphonse: maybe something like
Alphonse: "as my authortity allows me i think that it is fine in this case"
Alphonse: or something
Jacob_Quinn: I mean I'm all for just asking him if he likes somebody else.
Jacob_Quinn: If he has someone else in mind, I'm not going to force him to marry this girl just because her dad died.
Alphonse: ask taht then
Alphonse: raise it?
MordecaiKrieg: OH, a thing though, should I have seen that thing earlier if I am not trying to force him to marry someone?  Cause I wasn't really feeling that choice from the beginning.
Alphonse: or save that nine
Alphonse: and lets cut our losses 
MordecaiKrieg: Force him to marry Edwina I mean.
Alphonse: and advance to ask
Igfig: that is a fair point Mordecai
Igfig: anyone who wasn't trying to argue for "yes you need to marry" I guess should get their dice back from that
Alphonse: that was only mord
MordecaiKrieg: Yay I get my dice back.
Alphonse: woo
MordecaiKrieg: PUT 4 5
Dogtuna Added [4, 5] to pool. MordecaiKrieg's pool is [3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6]
Jacob_Quinn: Well, I'm just gonna whittle him down I guess and then you'll have to finish it Mordecai.
Alphonse: yar
Alphonse: sounds good
Jacob_Quinn: Unless my "taking failure personally trait" means "argue forever like a stubborn asshole."
Igfig: I never stated it out loud, which I probably should have, but the current stakes are "Does Samuel reveal his [real] reasons for not wanting to marry Edwina?"
Jacob_Quinn: Which it totally might.
Igfig: you could argue that, yes
Alphonse: yes
Jacob_Quinn: Very well.
Jacob_Quinn: 2d6
Dogtuna Jacob_Quinn's pool is [2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 9]
Jacob_Quinn: Well that wasn't great.
Alphonse: oh well
Alphonse: youll take some fallout
Jacob_Quinn: Anyway, we need to see your raise of 11 still right?
Igfig: yep
Jacob_Quinn: Okay SEE 4 4 3
Jacob_Quinn: SEE 4 4 3
Dogtuna Jacob_Quinn, please specify the Fallout dice received when you Take the Blow
Jacob_Quinn: 2
Jacob_Quinn: FALLOUT 2

Jacob_Quinn: FALLOUT 4
Igfig: say SEE 4 4 3 FALLOUT 4
Jacob_Quinn: Ahhh.
Jacob_Quinn: SEE 4 4 3 FALLOUT 4
Dogtuna Took the Blow for 11. Jacob_Quinn's pool is [2, 2, 2, 9]
Igfig: sorry you have to put it all in one line, but it's a lot more complicated if she has to remember something from one line to the next
Jacob_Quinn: So now I'm up to raise right?
Igfig: well, maybe
Igfig: yes, I think so
Jacob_Quinn: No that's fine, I just hadn't take Fallout, right?
Jacob_Quinn: That was not a question.
Jacob_Quinn: That should've said "I just hadn't taken Fallout yet.:
Igfig: I don't think you'd taken any fallout, that's right
MordecaiKrieg: "And you should be the Steward of yourself, but you must remember to seek the King of Life's path for you."
Jacob_Quinn: I am having a hard time here for some reason.
Jacob_Quinn: Or Mordecai can raise.
Jacob_Quinn: I think I should go first Mordecai.
MordecaiKrieg: I think I still have to see the stewarding of his thing right?  If I am right then that thing there is for my see.
Jacob_Quinn: I'm just gonna burn his nine.
Igfig: yeah
MordecaiKrieg: Yeah that was my see.
Jacob_Quinn: Ahh.
MordecaiKrieg: SEE 6 5
Dogtuna Blocked for 11. MordecaiKrieg's pool is [3, 4, 4, 5]
MordecaiKrieg: Also I should probably stop listening to Dark Souls music, it isn't particularly fitting at the moment.
Jacob_Quinn: "Samuel, when you say other options, what do you mean exactly? If you have another in mind, the King of Life would not force you to marry Edwina. If you're just being stubborn, however, we may have no choice. We just want what's best for you and for your village."
Jacob_Quinn: RAISE 9 2
Dogtuna Raised 11. Jacob_Quinn's pool is [2, 2]
Alphonse: that was good
Igfig: heheh, good raise
Jacob_Quinn: I like to think Paul and Alphonse are just standing there going "HOOOOOO."
Alphonse: no I'm fuming off to the side
Alphonse: well not fuming
Alphonse: more like huphing
Igfig: "Not another in mind per se..."
Alphonse: huffing*
Igfig: SEE 1 1 9
Dogtuna Igfig, please specify the Fallout dice received when you Take the Blow
Igfig: SEE 1 1 9 FALLOUT 4
Dogtuna Took the Blow for 11. Igfig's pool is [5]
Alphonse: wooooo we may have just won
Igfig: umm
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah I'll have to give if he raises, but you can ask the last question.
Alphonse: he cant raise
Alphonse: he only has a 5
Igfig: I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to raise
MordecaiKrieg: Yeah, I have a good number of traits to pull out yet too.
Igfig: I could raise if I reveal what the secret trait is
Alphonse: do that then
MordecaiKrieg: That makes sense in the context.
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah if we're putting him on edge about it, he'd probably just blurt it eventually.
Igfig: aright, well
Jacob_Quinn: I doubt he'd just say "Okay" and never reveal it.
Alphonse: GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY
Igfig: "I mean, not a woman..."
Jacob_Quinn: No genitals.
Alphonse: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Jacob_Quinn: YES.

Igfig: "Can I trust you?"
Igfig: RAISE 2 5
Dogtuna Raised 7. Igfig's pool is [1]
Alphonse: we are dogs 
Alphonse: of course he can trust us
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah that's kind of a shitty point for me to give on.
Jacob_Quinn: He can trust me, but I don't have the dice to say yes.
Alphonse: use a trait
Alphonse: or a relationship
Alphonse: now that you know hes gay
Jacob_Quinn: Unless there's anything here that relates to gunsmithing, I'm out of applicable traits.
Jacob_Quinn: And I uh... actually I don't think I ever did any relationships.
Alphonse: "just like a male to male binding ;)"
Jacob_Quinn: I guess "I'm looking for redemption?
Igfig: if you have any free relationship dice, you could create a Relationship with him
Alphonse: lets not do that
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah I did just meet him.
Jacob_Quinn: I could say that I want to do right by this kid because I hate failing people.
MordecaiKrieg: SEE 3 4
Dogtuna Blocked for 7. MordecaiKrieg's pool is [4, 5]
Jacob_Quinn: And call that redemption.
Igfig: yeah, but you'll be seeing a lot of him over the course of this adventure, you have a feeling
Igfig: I think you can just add a relationship whenever
Alphonse: only if you have the free dice
Igfig: well yes
MordecaiKrieg: "Can a dog bury a bone?"
Jacob_Quinn: I think I'll use the trait for now if Ig will let me.
Jacob_Quinn: I can always add the relationship later.
Igfig: ok

MordecaiKrieg: It was can I trust you, right.
Igfig: "Can I trust you?"
MordecaiKrieg: My Can a dog bury a bone for the see makes a lot less sense now.
Igfig: heheheh
Jacob_Quinn: Still counts as a yes.
Jacob_Quinn: And also hahahahah. Bone.
Alphonse: r
Jacob_Quinn: OOOOH.
Igfig: were you hitting on him
Alphonse: so whose raising
Alphonse: to ask him aobut it
MordecaiKrieg: I think I'm raising, no I am not hitting on him, yeah I'll ask him about it.
Jacob_Quinn: I think Mordecai is up.
Alphonse: by hitting on him
Igfig: Whoever wants to ask. Remember that this will end the conflict.
Alphonse: or hitting him
MordecaiKrieg: Just need a good question.
Alphonse: just ask 
Alphonse: "tell us about this person"
Jacob_Quinn: Honestly I don't even think you need a raise.
Alphonse: nothing fancy
MordecaiKrieg: Alrighty.
Jacob_Quinn: He asked if he could trust us, just say "Yeah."
Alphonse: yeah lets just skip out now we should end
MordecaiKrieg: "And who is striking your fancy then?"

Igfig: I think Sam's going to get a 1d6 relationship with you guys
Alphonse: yayyyy
Jacob_Quinn: Just me and Mordecai or all of us?
Igfig: uhm
Paul_the_Dog: Depends
Alphonse: so do we need to write this down?
Igfig: I'm going to say all of you for simplicity I think
Paul_the_Dog: I have a massive hatred for sin remember
Igfig: no
MordecaiKrieg: What is Samuel's last name?
Alphonse: ok
Jacob_Quinn: I was under the impression that Paul and Alphonse stormed out.
Jacob_Quinn: And won't hear the secret.
Igfig: relationships are not commutative
Jacob_Quinn: Unless we tell them.
Alphonse: no i was off to the side
Alphonse: im still i there
Jacob_Quinn: Ahh.
Jacob_Quinn: In that case, YOU'RE WELCOME.
Paul_the_Dog: Samuel (The gay guy) 1d6
Alphonse: wooo
Alphonse: ANYWAYS
MordecaiKrieg: Also what does the Book of Life say on homosexuality anyways?
Alphonse: nothing
Paul_the_Dog: "Totes gross dudes"
Igfig: I'll mention it IC
Jacob_Quinn: "Great tailors."
MordecaiKrieg: Alrighty.
Igfig: "There isn't /really/ someone else I want to marry... but I don't think I could marry a woman."
Alphonse: so we are out of conflict now?
Igfig: yes
Igfig: "I just don't... I mean, I get these feelings..."
Igfig: "The Book of Life says they're wrong, but as long as I don't act on them it's okay right?"
Alphonse: "What feelings do you mean?"
Igfig: "Well, feeling the way I should feel about women... towards, uh, not women."
Alphonse: "towards.... dogs?"
Jacob_Quinn: "Toward men?"
Igfig: "...no."
Alphonse: "dont be silly of course he means dogs"
Alphonse: *winks at barton*
Jacob_Quinn: OOC does the Book of Life actually forbid homosexuality? I feel like that kind of dictates our response.
Igfig: "No! I mean... I mean...
MordecaiKrieg: Barton is back out front of the store, sitting slightly less patiently then before but still wagging his tale.
Igfig: "...Boys. I mean, men."
Alphonse: i checked the rule book
Alphonse: it says nothing about it at all
MordecaiKrieg: Barton does not see any winking done by Alphonse.
Alphonse: it just mentions man and wife
Alphonse: BUT NEVER SAYS WIFE NEEDS TO BE FEMALE
Alphonse: YOOOOOOO
Alphonse: LOOP HOLE
Paul_the_Dog: "Ah. I see."
MordecaiKrieg: So it's one of those up to interpretation things but chances are like it is in regular Christianity lots of people think it is icky so read it as saying that it is wrong.
Alphonse: probably yeah
Igfig: "But I never do anything about it! The Book says romantic or carnal love between two men is wrong, but it doesn't say anything about just feelings!"
Igfig: although actually I came across a neat condensed version of the Book of Life the other day, I should check that
Alphonse: ig whats the wording of it in the book
Alphonse: of life i mean
Igfig: also I will send it to you on Skype
Paul_the_Dog: "Well Samuel, there's really only one course of action to be taken. Marry Edwina. Perhaps your feelings for men will go away once you've taken a nice wife."
Alphonse: ok
MordecaiKrieg: Or we go with what Ig is saying is in the book since he is the dm.
Alphonse: well alphonse is sympathetic
Jacob_Quinn: Yeaj ;et
Jacob_Quinn: s gp wotj tjat/
Jacob_Quinn: Wow.
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah let's just go with that*
MordecaiKrieg: "Or if no girls her suit his fancy, or any for that matter, perhaps a girl from out of town?"
MordecaiKrieg: "My thoughts on this whole marriage business for both sides is to send possible suitors here to the town from other branches."
Jacob_Quinn: "Perhaps we can offer a solution that suits everyone."
Alphonse: hold on im going to check this pdf
Igfig: Also
Igfig: I think Delf has to leave pretty soon
Igfig: and this is a pretty good place to stop
Igfig: so perhaps we should end here for the night?
Paul_the_Dog: Yeah
Igfig: also I'm hungry for dinner
Jacob_Quinn: "If you're worried about the issue of a loveless marriage resulting in sin, allow us to sanction it. You marry Edwina, both your families benefit, and even if you don't love her the marriage is sanctioned under heaven. You never have to act on feelings you don't have, and who knows? Maybe over time, your feelings will change."
Paul_the_Dog: And then we can wed thsi person next week
MordecaiKrieg: Or not wed this person.
Alphonse: this pdf is incomplete ig
Alphonse: it doesnt go to the important pages
Alphonse: also actually id rather not stop here
Igfig: eh?
Alphonse: its early and delf can just hop out
Alphonse: theres still plenty to go
Alphonse: it goes to page 21
Alphonse: but theres 40
MordecaiKrieg: Though it seems my character is the only one who doesn't support the forced marriage bit.
Igfig: the pages are in a different order
Alphonse: it stops at love and joy
Alphonse: oh
Jacob_Quinn: Well, I'm running it by Samuel.
Jacob_Quinn: I don't want to make him if he doesn't want to, but if his concern is that he doesn't love her we can make that not a problem.
Igfig: page 40 is on the first page
MordecaiKrieg: True true..
Igfig: it's designed so you can print it out and make a booklet
Paul_the_Dog: Alright guys
Paul_the_Dog: Peace
Igfig: Bye Delf
Jacob_Quinn: I get to add a thing for each of my ones on that fallout right?
Jacob_Quinn: So long Delf.
Igfig: No, just one
Alphonse: this is up to interpretation 
Paul_the_Dog quit.
Jacob_Quinn: Ah.
Jacob_Quinn: Very well.
Alphonse: so it doesnt say
Igfig: and while I could keep going I guess, I really am quite hungry
Alphonse: lets take a break then
Jacob_Quinn: This seems like a big decision to make without half the party.
Igfig: yes
Alphonse: i dont think its so bad
Alphonse: we could just go back and get hamilton to lay off the kid
Alphonse: like we originally planned
Alphonse: aah you are right
Alphonse: dogs are free to do what they want tho so FUCK THE BOOK
Igfig: have you guys been arguing that there's nothing in the rules that says a dog can't play basketball
Alphonse: what
Igfig: *guy can't marry a guy
Alphonse: what
Alphonse: i
Alphonse: no our characters were just deciding what to do about it
Jacob_Quinn: I TRUSTED YOU WAFFLE.
Igfig: okay
Alphonse: our arguments stillk stand
Jacob_Quinn: Well I was going off the idea that Waffle proposed, that it never TECHNICALLY forbade it.
MordecaiKrieg: It says  literally right there that love between a man and a man or a woman and a woman can't be virtuous, and that sex is a sin, it's pretty clearly written.
Jacob_Quinn: If it straight up says it's a sin, I feel like Jacob isn't really open to an argument.
MordecaiKrieg: Sex part is a sin.
MordecaiKrieg: It only says such a love is not virtuous.
Igfig: that is a good point
Alphonse: so maybe it can still work
MordecaiKrieg: Not a romantic love anyways.
Alphonse: jacob just wants sammy to be happy
MordecaiKrieg: A familial or comraderic love are good though, I don't think comraderic is a word.
Jacob_Quinn: So I feel like we're back it "Jacob isn't going to make Sam marry Edwina, but he also isn't cool with him falling into sin."
Alphonse: but alphonse still convinced him of the most important rule
Jacob_Quinn: And since Alphonse went with "Excellent reader and writer" and also "it doesn't technically say no," he has to pick one or the other.
Jacob_Quinn: There's no way he just missed it.
Igfig: it does say that it qualifies as Pride when "you consider your love to transcend sin and virtue, like when you're in love with someone inappropriate."
Alphonse: yeah
Alphonse: itd be useful if fortuna was around for the logs HUH IG
Igfig: yes it would and I am sorry
Alphonse: its fine 
Alphonse: hehe'
MordecaiKrieg: So then that means that if he were to love a man and think it was alright then by the book it is pride and that is a pretty big sin.
MordecaiKrieg: Wait, no
MordecaiKrieg: A pretty big potential for lots of sin.
MordecaiKrieg: I forget if pride in itself is a sin or an opener to sin, I shall shut up and let Igfig say stuff.
Igfig: the main problem with pride is that it causes injustice, and that starts a chain of events that eventually leads to demon attack
Igfig: s
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah technically he hasn't done anything wrong YET, but he's pretty much standing in the door.
MordecaiKrieg: So right, an opening.
Igfig: yeah
MordecaiKrieg: So going by the book which is very clearly written, we can't condone him having any relationships with men of a romantic nature.
Jacob_Quinn: I'm cool with saying Jacob still abides by the rules of the conflict, but if he ever finds out Alphonse lied to him it will not be a good thing for anyone.
Igfig: incidentally, some degree of injustice is probably occurring in some respect
Jacob_Quinn: Or we can jusy say it never happened.
Alphonse: so jacob then
Alphonse: can we agree with
Alphonse: alphonse used his reading and writing to lie to jacob
MordecaiKrieg: The conflict was made under not fully informed pretenses.
Alphonse: and convinced him
Alphonse: so the result stays the same
Alphonse: but now alphonse has lied to jacob
Alphonse: ill add a note about that in my character sheet if so
Jacob_Quinn: I am cool with either that or, seeing as neither of us knew at the time, saying that whole conflict never happened.
Igfig: Up to you guys
Jacob_Quinn: Because I see very little way we convince two other party members without them bringing it up.
Alphonse: i think i prefer the first one because the conflict was fun and i think it helped with our characters
Jacob_Quinn: Me, too.
Alphonse: alrigh tthen ill make note of it
Igfig: I am sad that I missed most of that
Jacob_Quinn: The only reason I'd say we should cancel it is because it was a legit OOC mistake and Mordecai is just going to pull out his Book and say "Look, it says right here." Three in-game seconds after that fight.
Alphonse: thats true
Alphonse: lets cancel it then
Alphonse: never happened
MordecaiKrieg: Especially considering my guy was literally just reading up on the book prior to arriving in town.
Alphonse: ya
Igfig: so are we going to do that over again, or what?
Alphonse: we can yeah
Alphonse: with the new argumetns
Jacob_Quinn: I think we're all on the same page if condoning gay marriage is off the table, though.
Jacob_Quinn: Or at least the three of us are.
Igfig: oh, ok
Alphonse: alphonse thinks we should allow it
Alphonse: we can sanction it and make it ok
Igfig: also I should mention
MordecaiKrieg: but us sanctioning is for a marriage without love, not a marriage against the teachings of the king of Life.
Jacob_Quinn: Jacob is fine asking him if he wants us to sanction his marriage to Edwina so he's off the hook for loving her but can still help her family.
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah I don't know if it's within our authority to actually break a rule of the Book.
Igfig: that you get the feeling that Samuel wasn't being entirely truthful when he said he didn't have anyone in mind
Alphonse: we can do what we want yo
Alphonse: we are dogs 
Alphonse: a dog can turn to sorcery and they just deal with it
Jacob_Quinn: True, but I feel like that might be abusing the position. Which is something Jacob is totally not okay with doing.
Alphonse: Alphonse is
Igfig: so maybe we should have that conflict after all then
Alphonse: yeah
Jacob_Quinn: I feel like Mordecai should vote, though.
Alphonse: "I think we should make it okay, sanction any potential marriage with another man from samuel"
Jacob_Quinn: Because I don't really think Jacob is going to say "Oh I ran out of arguments, you convinced me to go against the King of Life." But I also don't really want one of us to shoot the other in the first session.
Igfig: heheheh
Igfig: well I guess it's a matter of
Igfig: do any of you feel strongly enough about it to try and stop another of you if the other one decides to do something about it?
Alphonse: not me
Igfig: otherwise I guess yeah you can just talk about it without a conflict
Jacob_Quinn: I just don't see any way that conflict doesn't end with guns drawn.
Jacob_Quinn: Since there's a written rule like... right there.
Igfig: everybody dies in the first town
Jacob_Quinn: That's why I want Mordecai to voite.
Jacob_Quinn: It's possible nobody has to conflict at all.
MordecaiKrieg: This stuff is waaaay too deep for a first session, sheesh.
Alphonse: lets just leave it then
MordecaiKrieg: Also teehee.
Alphonse: convince samuel to lay off the kid
Alphonse: let the kid deal with it
Alphonse: or kill the kid
Jacob_Quinn: I don't think we have to kill him.
Alphonse: yeah i know
MordecaiKrieg: The kid hasn't sinned yet, he knows that what his body tells him to do is a sin.
Jacob_Quinn: I say we get Hamilton to back off and tell the Steward to keep an eye on Samuel.
Alphonse: lets convince hamilton then
MordecaiKrieg: Maybe wait:
MordecaiKrieg: Can we send someone off to be trained as a dog?  Is that a thing dogs can do?
Alphonse: err
Jacob_Quinn: Probably level with Sammy that we're not gonna make him do anything he doesn't want to do, but if he ends up acting on his feelings the Steward is gonna have to kill him.
Alphonse: i dont think we can do it expressly
Alphonse: but we can put in word
Jacob_Quinn: If that's the case, I think we can present him with three options.
Igfig: being a dog is more a matter of having that special spark of faith
MordecaiKrieg: Yeah, so probably not then.
Alphonse: if he becomes a priest he can take an oath 
Alphonse: and be fine 
Jacob_Quinn: We sanction a loveless marriage with Edwina, he gets to do the right thing without betraying his conscience, and everybody is satistifed.
Jacob_Quinn: We tell his dad to back off, but warn him that he's going to have a target on his back for the rest of his life.
Jacob_Quinn: Or we tell him to become a priest, put in a good word, and then he doesn't have to marry anyone.
MordecaiKrieg: Priest would probably be better, are priests able to marry under the faith?  I know Catholic Priests can't.
Igfig: Uh
Alphonse: if he gets married with edwina even more pressure is going to be on him to have children
Igfig: as far as I know priests aren't really a thing
Igfig: a man leads his family in prayer, a steward leads his Branch
Jacob_Quinn: Then he shuts his eyes and thinks about boners and has a kid.
Alphonse: pft
Alphonse: you know that might be the best option
Jacob_Quinn: This kid's life is going to suck one way or another.
Alphonse: to get him married to the girl
Jacob_Quinn: That's why we ask him what he wants.
Alphonse: ask him what he is going to do then?
Jacob_Quinn: I'm all for being honest with him.
Alphonse: ask him about that interest he is
Alphonse: has*
MordecaiKrieg: So his options are get himself a beard, get himself a stewardship, or get himself a third option.
Jacob_Quinn: I mean "just be good" is on the table, but it's the one most likely to result in his death.
Igfig: stewards do marry
MordecaiKrieg: So that's out then.
Igfig: but yeah
Alphonse: lets ask him who that interest is
Jacob_Quinn: Sounds good.
Jacob_Quinn: We go back in, then?
Igfig: Sure
Alphonse: yup
Alphonse: "So samuel, is there anyone you have in mind?"
Jacob_Quinn: I'm going to cut that relationship for now then.
Igfig: "You mean... a man?"
Jacob_Quinn: Since we didn't do the conflict.
Alphonse: "Anyone"
Alphonse: yeah do that
Jacob_Quinn: "We want to help you Samuel, but you have to be honest with us if we're going to get anywhere."
Igfig: "Not really. I mean, it's silly."
Igfig: "But you know Flamin' Jack?"
Alphonse: FUCK
Alphonse: WELP
Alphonse: WHAT NOW
MordecaiKrieg: Curse you puns!
MordecaiKrieg: And word play!
MordecaiKrieg: Cause that isn't really a pun!
Jacob_Quinn: "We've heard of him."
Igfig: the funny thing is
Jacob_Quinn: "Are you saying you're involved with him? Or just that you want to be?"
Igfig: I decided on that name before I even decided that Samuel was interested in him
MordecaiKrieg: Well, Flamin Jack might not be gay.
MordecaiKrieg: We don't know, we just know he sets stuff on fire.
Alphonse: lets bring the kid with us
Alphonse: and have him see how horrible flaming jack is
Alphonse: so that interest dies
Jacob_Quinn: Well let's see what he has to say first.
Jacob_Quinn: If he's helping this guy, our hands are kind of tied.
Igfig: "No, no, I only met him the once. When he and his gang came to town for the first time, before I knew they were bandits."
Jacob_Quinn: That settles that, then.
Igfig: "Although I saw him again one other time, when he rode through town and set those houses on fire. He saw me looking out the window and winked."
Alphonse: okay so flaming jack is gay
Alphonse: lets convince jack to stop banditing
Jacob_Quinn: "You understand that he's a bad person, right?
Alphonse: adn then send this kid off with him
Jacob_Quinn: Or he just knows Sam likes him and thinks he can use it to his advantage.
Igfig: I'm making it ambiguous
Igfig: yeah
Alphonse: yeah 
Alphonse: hm
Jacob_Quinn: Or he's just a swashbuckling type who winks at everyone.
Alphonse: i think either way
Alphonse: we need to kill flaming jack and his gang
Alphonse: they are bandits
Jacob_Quinn: Jack sinned, and we have to punish him.
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah.
Alphonse: so thats seperate from samuel
Jacob_Quinn: "We have to punish him for his crimes, Samuel."
Igfig: "I... know. And I know he's a bad man. And he's not of the Faith, anyway. I told you it was silly."
Alphonse: hmm
Alphonse: so we decided we need to kill flaming jack no matter what
Jacob_Quinn: "So is it... just Flamin' Jack? Or has this happened to you before?"
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah he's gonna die.
Alphonse: and somehow prevent this kid from sinning
Alphonse: by forcing him to marry edwina?
Jacob_Quinn: I think we just tell him his choices.
Igfig: "It's not /his/ fault, if that's what you're saying. I was always like this."
Jacob_Quinn: And leave it up to him.
MordecaiKrieg: Well, if she isn't interested in him and he's not interested in her, that could be a reasonable beard, but then there is the issue of her mother who is a bit against the idea of their marriage.
Jacob_Quinn: "I'm not doubting that, I just wondered if anyone in particular had caught your eye."
Alphonse: if we force him there is nothing she can do
Igfig: "Nobody else, no."
Alphonse: i like the idea of leaving it up to him
Alphonse: what are his options?
Jacob_Quinn: I wager she'd warm up to it when she realized how useful having a man who isn't 12 around the house is.
Jacob_Quinn: Marry Edwina, or we tell his dad to lay off and just trust him not to sin.
Jacob_Quinn: I think it'd be easier to avoid sin once he got down to the daily responsibility of having a family, running the farm and whatnot.
Jacob_Quinn: Than just sitting in the back of the shop daydreaming about cocks.
Alphonse: thats true
Alphonse: right now hes just doing figures
Alphonse: if we get him a serious job
Alphonse: he will be less inclined to sin
Alphonse: so hows that then
Alphonse: force hi to marry edwina
Alphonse: OR
Jacob_Quinn: Works for me.
Jacob_Quinn: I'll ask him.
Alphonse: make him work for the wife
Alphonse: and just live there
Jacob_Quinn: i don't think she'd accept him in the house if they weren't married.
Alphonse: yeah yooure right
Alphonse: ok lets force him to marry
Jacob_Quinn: I think it's either get married or we tell the Steward to keep an eye on him and if he ever fucks up he gets one between the eyes.
Alphonse: maybe not that far
Jacob_Quinn: "Samuel, I'm sorry that we have to do this to you but you've only got a couple of choices here."
Jacob_Quinn: Maybe not that far.
Jacob_Quinn: "If you're worried about a loveless marriage, we can sanction it for you and you don't have to worry about that. You may not love Edwina, but you can still help her family care for the farm and raise a family of your own when the time comes.
Jacob_Quinn: "Over time, I think you'll find the responsibility to be a better distraction from your... situation... than sitting here doing figures for your father."
Jacob_Quinn: "If you're not comfortable with that, we can still ask your father to back off about you marrying her. But we'll have to tell the Steward to keep an eye on you when we leave. I know you didn't ask for this, but you're on the edge of falling into serious sin and we can't just leave with that unaddressed."
Jacob_Quinn: "We'll do whatever you want to do. I'm sorry."
Igfig: He thinks for a long time
MordecaiKrieg: We could have him not decide now, we're going to be in town for at least a couple of days anyways.
Jacob_Quinn: Not if we get killed by bandits.
MordecaiKrieg: Especially if we are hunting down Flamin Jack.
Jacob_Quinn: Ambiguously gay bandits.
MordecaiKrieg: True, best do today what you can't die leaving undone.
Igfig: "If you really could sanction it, the first one might be safer. Except... I don't think Sister Constance wants me there. If I married Edwina, that would make me the head of her family."
Alphonse: "She's gotta deal with it"
Jacob_Quinn: "We can talk to Sister Constance. Maybe we can come to some kind of agreement."
Jacob_Quinn: There's no need to antagonize her if we can avoid it.
Alphonse: ya
Igfig: "Okay. If you can keep her from hating me for it, I'll marry her daughter."
Igfig: He doesn't look very happy
Alphonse: BOOOOOM
MordecaiKrieg: I don't think anyone will be very happy.
Jacob_Quinn: "Thank you, Samuel. I know this isn't easy for you."
Alphonse: lets out to hamilton and give him a subtle thumbs up
MordecaiKrieg: Well, Hamilton probably will be.
Jacob_Quinn: Edwina might be.
Jacob_Quinn: We never talked to her.
Alphonse: "We'll go talk to sister constance for you"
MordecaiKrieg: It sounds like she wasn't all that interested in it either, but that was her mother talking.
Igfig: Brother Hamilton breaks into a wide grin. "You did? Perfect, perfect. That's so good of you."
Alphonse: "You're welcome, it wasnt easy"
Alphonse: alright WARP to the farm?
Igfig: "I'll have his mother start packing his things."
Alphonse: "waiiiittt"
Alphonse: "not quite yet"
Alphonse: "We need to speak to sister Constance first"
Jacob_Quinn: "There are still some things to take care of.
Jacob_Quinn: "The girl's mother might be an obstacle. But we'll do the best we can."
Igfig: He looks rebuffed
Igfig: but he nods
Alphonse: ok i feel the need to say
Alphonse: my city is called hamilton
Alphonse: so everytime this damn dudes name is said
Alphonse: EVERY TIME
Igfig: yep
Alphonse: i go "what"
Alphonse: ANYWAYS
Alphonse: lets warp now
Igfig: okay
Jacob_Quinn: Alright.
Jacob_Quinn: Before we go in.
Igfig: back to the farm you go
Jacob_Quinn: How much do we want to tell her?
Igfig: oh?
Alphonse: lets just tell her
Igfig: hm
Alphonse: samuel is goign to marry edwina
Alphonse: she doenst need to know he's gay or anythin
Jacob_Quinn: I mean it may be better to get it out of the way now. At least to Edwina.
Jacob_Quinn: It's going to be an issue at some point.
Alphonse: yeah that would be good
Jacob_Quinn: We don't necessarily have to say that he likes dudes, but we have to tell her something.
Alphonse: what about asexual?
MordecaiKrieg: I don't think that word has been coined yet.
Alphonse: true
Jacob_Quinn: I mean maybe we just tell her it's not going to be easy, and it may not be normal, but it's the best thing for her and her family.
Alphonse: thatll work
Jacob_Quinn: It's not like there are other boys in the town for her.
Alphonse: lets let them deal with it
Alphonse: and if we need to come back we'll do it
Jacob_Quinn: Righto.
Alphonse knocks on the door
Igfig: ooo sorry, just had a serious sleepy pang there
Igfig: let me go grab some chocolate
Alphonse: heck ya
Igfig: okay
Jacob_Quinn: Oh man, I just had a thought.
Jacob_Quinn: We have a great silver bullet.
Alphonse: which is what
Jacob_Quinn: Since this marriage is theoretically preventing sin, and we're sanctioning it, the King of Life wants it to happen.
Alphonse: yoooooo
Alphonse: thats true
Jacob_Quinn: Not just in a "You're gonna do it cuz we said so" way.
Jacob_Quinn: But like an actual "You would be doing the Faith a service by allowing this" way.
Jacob_Quinn: So we should use that if she's being stubborn.
Igfig: A teenage girl answers the door this time. Long brown hair, fairly pretty, with the kind of energy you'd normally expect from someone ten years younger.
Igfig: If you dropped her she'd probably bounce
Alphonse: amazing
Alphonse: "Are you edwina?"
Igfig: "Oh! Yes! Are you God's Watchdogs? Come in!"
Jacob_Quinn: "We are./
Alphonse: "Actually we'd like you speak to your mother alone"
Jacob_Quinn: Is your mother here? We need to talk to you both."
Alphonse: lets start with mom
Alphonse: so she doesnt influence edwina at all
Igfig: "Oh. Okay. Is it about Samuel??!?!?!!?!!!!"
Igfig: j/k she doesn't say that many exclamation marks
Alphonse: "XD"
MordecaiKrieg: "Yup."
Jacob_Quinn: Well, at least one person is going to be happy about this.
Igfig: She grins big. "Momma! It's the Dogs!" You hear Constance say something indistinct from the kitchen.
Igfig: The house is quite clean and well-kept-looking for something that burned half down a few weeks ago.
Alphonse: so mother alone or mother and edwina at the same time
Igfig: one of you said alone, the other said with... up to you
Jacob_Quinn: Maybe alone at first.
Alphonse: well i was asking the party
Alphonse: yeah lets do alone
Alphonse: momma first
MordecaiKrieg: Yeah.
Igfig: ok
Jacob_Quinn: And then Edwina can come in when we've got it settled.
Alphonse: "Run along kids we need to speak to your mother alone first"
Igfig: "Okay!"
Igfig: Constance isn't coming out of the kitchen, though
Alphonse: dangit
Alphonse: lets go in then
Alphonse: we head into the kitchen
Jacob_Quinn: We're God's Watchdogs, she en't giving us the runaround.
Alphonse: "Constance we have to speak to you"
Jacob_Quinn: We go into the kitchen.
Jacob_Quinn: "This is important.
Jacob_Quinn: "
Igfig: "Yeh, c'mon in."
Alphonse: this feels like walking into an ambush
Alphonse: like she is going to toss a knife at us
Igfig: You find her elbow-deep in suds, washing up
Jacob_Quinn: Just be ready.
MordecaiKrieg: That's your D&D paranoia sinking in.
Jacob_Quinn: "Constance, we need to talk to you about Edwina."
Alphonse: probably yeah mord
Igfig: periodically glancing over at a pot of something cooking
Jacob_Quinn: "Samuel [did we ever get his last name] has agreed to Mary your daughter at our request."
Jacob_Quinn: marry*
Igfig: "Oh, has he now."
Jacob_Quinn: "Yes."
Igfig: "I don't think Edwina is going to be able to do that."
Jacob_Quinn: "Why not?"
Alphonse: if edwina is gay too i s2g
Igfig: i should know what s2g stands for
Igfig: but I don't
Alphonse: swear to god
Igfig: right
Jacob_Quinn: Honestly if something's wrong with her it might be even better. No pressure on Samuel.
Alphonse: thats true
Igfig: "My daughters grew up with a no-good father, and they are not going to be marrying a no-good husband."
Alphonse: figured
Alphonse: okay so how do we convince her
Alphonse: lets launch conflict
Igfig: Okay
Jacob_Quinn: We may not need to.
Alphonse: this is pretty much exactly what a conflict is
Jacob_Quinn: I mean we can.
Alphonse: we need to convince her that yes he is marrying her
Alphonse: i say conflict
Jacob_Quinn: I was just hoping we could do it without dice.
Igfig: I agree
Jacob_Quinn: But that's Ig's call.
Jacob_Quinn: Very well.
Alphonse: yup
Alphonse: so lets roll
Alphonse: 8d6

Igfig: 9d6
Dogtuna Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5, 6]
MordecaiKrieg: I don't think we can do much in this game without dice, I'm pretty sure that lady would make it a conflict regardless of what we want.
Jacob_Quinn: 8d6
Dogtuna Jacob_Quinn's pool is [1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6]
MordecaiKrieg: So just talky stuff for now though.

MordecaiKrieg: I am the best at talky stuff.
Alphonse: holy shit
Jacob_Quinn: Damn.
Jacob_Quinn: Solid rolls all around.
Igfig: the rule is, I say yes to everything, and if I want to say no then I start a conflict
MordecaiKrieg: I guess that makes up for having the least dice.
Alphonse: yup
Alphonse: lets do the same thing as before
Igfig: Also, since her family is at stake I get to roll her relationship dice
Igfig: 2d10
Dogtuna Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7, 8]

MordecaiKrieg: Well hey, that means we get rolls for those of us with a relationship to Samuel.
Igfig: Okay
Alphonse: whats her name again
Jacob_Quinn: I think I'm going to end up with that relationship.
Jacob_Quinn: Constance.
Alphonse: right
Jacob_Quinn: But quick aside:
MordecaiKrieg: 1d6
Dogtuna MordecaiKrieg's pool is [3, 3, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6]
Jacob_Quinn: What's the protocol here for "We're really only doing this as a courtesy to you, it's happening with or without you?"
MordecaiKrieg: I added that one to my relationships earlier cause I figured knowing that secret is a pretty big thing.
Alphonse: "Sister Constance, please have reason. There is not many options in this village, your daughter is of marrying age and the extra help in the house would be immensely useful"
Alphonse: RAISE 4 5
Dogtuna Raised 9. Alphonse's pool is [1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 6]

Jacob_Quinn: 1d6
Dogtuna Jacob_Quinn's pool is [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 6]
MordecaiKrieg: I have an idea for something you could say.
Jacob_Quinn: I was just gonna go with "he already agreed to discuss that with you."
Jacob_Quinn: What's your idea?
MordecaiKrieg: You could mention how he would have to learn how to run the farm, which means she'd be teaching him, so she could make sure he does it right.
Jacob_Quinn: Oooh nice.
Jacob_Quinn: That's a good raise.
Jacob_Quinn: So my see is "We've talked to him, and he agreed that the two of you can discuss the particulars of your relationship before the ceremony."
Jacob_Quinn: And then I raise with "He needs someone to teach him the value of hard work and how to run a farm. You'd have the chance to make sure he does it right, takes good care of you and your daughters."
Jacob_Quinn: RAISE 3 3 
Dogtuna Raised 6. Jacob_Quinn's pool is [1, 1, 2, 3, 6]
MordecaiKrieg: I feel like you should have gone for a bigger raise there.
MordecaiKrieg: Maybe.
Alphonse: yeh
Alphonse: use that 6 and 3
Alphonse: to get rid of her 8
Jacob_Quinn: Unless he wants to use his 7 or 8, he can't turn that.
Jacob_Quinn: Either way, I feel like it's a win.
Jacob_Quinn: And I need the big dice to see.
MordecaiKrieg: True, true.
Alphonse: I realy dont want her turning the blow with an 8
Alphonse: you should put those 3's back and raise that 6
Alphonse: we can use relationships and traits to make up for this
MordecaiKrieg: Also true, but that would mean that that 8 is gone.
Jacob_Quinn: Fair enough I suppose.
Jacob_Quinn: PUT 3 3 
Dogtuna Added [3, 3] to pool. Jacob_Quinn's pool is [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 6]

Igfig: Hmm, I have to think about thos
Jacob_Quinn: I stumped the DM, we win.
Igfig: more like I'm getting sleepy and thinking poorly
Alphonse: we can end after we talk to edwina
Jacob_Quinn: You will not dull my triumph!
Jacob_Quinn: Everyone is just standing awkwardly around the kitchen.
Jacob_Quinn: Jacob whistles quietly.
MordecaiKrieg takes a peek at what is cooking.

Alphonse: anyways
Alphonse: mordecai raise
MordecaiKrieg: I have to see yet.
Alphonse: ok
MordecaiKrieg: I want to add something cause I want more dice choices for the see, so I'm thinking.
MordecaiKrieg: I'm trying to think of a see that relates to cooking, if I can think of something to say as a see relating to that this is pretty much the perfect time to roll it.
Alphonse: "if you just stick to cooking as a woman should then you will be able to feed everyone"
Alphonse: idk
Alphonse: what about hunting
Alphonse: you can teach samuel to hunt
Alphonse: or say you will
Jacob_Quinn: That'll only take what, an hour?
MordecaiKrieg: I could block mentioning that the stew is ready to be taken off the boil.
Alphonse: hahaha thatd be great
Alphonse: if ig will allow it
Alphonse: but yeah the hunting i think is the best bet for more dice
Igfig: uhh... that isn't so much a block as taking the blow creatively, Mordecai
Jacob_Quinn: What about your patience trait?
MordecaiKrieg: Well, I think I'll go with that then.
Jacob_Quinn: Tell her it won't be easy at first, but then she'll have someone when she's too old to do it.
MordecaiKrieg: Now isn't the time for the patience, or it is, but I like this cooking pot idea cause it is fun.
Alphonse: it is fun
Alphonse: but jacob also has a point
MordecaiKrieg: I can do something like that for my raise.
Alphonse: use that for your raise

Alphonse: so you have two options, add patience feat with what jacob said
Alphonse: or hunting feat and teach sammy 
MordecaiKrieg: But yeah, if I do the two 6 6s she'll have to either take the blow or raise or lose the 7 and 8.
Alphonse: thatd be lovely
Alphonse: DO IT
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah we need to bleed off her big dice.
MordecaiKrieg: "If you need more help with food I could give Samuel some lessons in hunting, additionally I'm sure his father would be interested in helping out your household since he is so keen on this marriage."

Jacob_Quinn: And quote the Book at her.
Alphonse: "We are all highly trained, I think if we taught samuel what we know he'd be more than useful enough to you, I can teach him basic medical knowledge so you never need to worry about injuries"

Jacob_Quinn: Unless he's traiting.
MordecaiKrieg: Yar.
MordecaiKrieg: If you don't have it then I'm pretty sure I can finish it.

Jacob_Quinn: It might make her not shoot.
Alphonse: not anymore
Alphonse: only her targets
Jacob_Quinn: I'd call that a block.
Alphonse: you block her shot with your gun
Jacob_Quinn: No I mean if I'm pointing my gun at her she's not going to shoot.
Alphonse: oh 
MordecaiKrieg: I've got this.
Jacob_Quinn: Mexican standoff and all that.
Alphonse: thats clever

Alphonse: that 1 is going to save your life
MordecaiKrieg: Bam, awesome moment.
Igfig: I'm thinking
Igfig: And so is she I guess
MordecaiKrieg: I think the only thing she has left would be to actually shoot me, and that would be right after showing her my coat and mentioning my family who made it for me.
Alphonse: she is facing down three dogs
Jacob_Quinn: Man I wish there was a mechanic for us to just pile on.
Alphonse: man thats a bad position to be in
Alphonse: she'll shoot you right in the back
Jacob_Quinn: Because this shotgun and my coat are all about my dad.
Jacob_Quinn: I do have my gun pointed right at her.

MordecaiKrieg: No I took the coat off and held it in front of me.

Igfig: "You give them three days to see if this is really what's best."
Alphonse: man i am so tired of this lady
Igfig: "If they still want to, I won't stop them."
Alphonse: lets just force the wedding
Alphonse: we cant stay in this village for 3 days
MordecaiKrieg: Whoa down Waffle, slow down on the waffling.
Alphonse: we need to move on
Alphonse: what
Igfig: she's probably open to negotiation on the three days
MordecaiKrieg: I think we can actually?  I don't know how many days it will take for us to get Flaming Jack.
Jacob_Quinn: We've got to deal with this bandit anyway.
Igfig: she's just asking for time is all
Alphonse: ooh yeha the bandit
Jacob_Quinn: And yeah I don't think we have any kind of timetable.
Alphonse: alright then
MordecaiKrieg: "Agreed."
Alphonse: we need to talk to the girl now
MordecaiKrieg puts his coat back on.
Jacob_Quinn: If we're preventing sin and helping the faithful, I'm pretty sure we can stay as long as we want.
Alphonse: how should we punish this woman for pulling a gun on us though
Igfig: She lowers the shotgun.
MordecaiKrieg: End scene.
MordecaiKrieg: Now end scene.
Alphonse: rememer the END
Jacob_Quinn: We got what we wanted, I don't think we have to punish her.
Jacob_Quinn: END
Dogtuna Jacob_Quinn received fallout: [1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4].
Dogtuna Jacob_Quinn's pool has been cleared.
Igfig: And in her eye you see the barest hint of a smile.
Igfig: GIVE
Dogtuna Igfig received fallout: [1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4].
Dogtuna Igfig Gave, saving a 4.
Alphonse: and only one four
MordecaiKrieg: END
Dogtuna MordecaiKrieg received fallout: [1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4].
Dogtuna MordecaiKrieg's pool has been cleared.
Alphonse: dang
Jacob_Quinn: Has anybody NOT got a one yet?
Igfig: okay, hmm
MordecaiKrieg: Oh right, I did take the blow with 3 dice twice, forgot about that.
MordecaiKrieg: I didn't have a 1 with the Samuel bit.
Igfig: Remember, if you rolled two 4s you do take some damage
MordecaiKrieg: Oh right.
MordecaiKrieg: And I definitely have two 4s there.
Alphonse: theoretically if you spent that experience on a stat every single time you could become outrageous
Igfig: yeah but don't do that
Alphonse: yeah i know
Igfig: in fact I think I'll say
Jacob_Quinn: It's just hard words, since nobody shot at us right?
Alphonse: ya
Igfig: you can only increase stats once in a town and once between towns
Jacob_Quinn: So I'm just a little shaky, on account of I almost killed an old woman so a gay kid wouldn't sin.
Alphonse: oh alright 
Alphonse: thats good
Jacob_Quinn: That's fair.
Alphonse: i gotta adjust then
Jacob_Quinn: So I gotta come up with a trait.
Igfig: I think my experience will be a 1d6 relationship with the Dogs
Jacob_Quinn: When it says "change the d-size of a trait," does that mean I can make it any size? 
Jacob_Quinn: Because that could also be really useful.
Alphonse: to d8 if its d6
Igfig: I'd say only up one tick
Alphonse: up to a max of 12 id assume
Igfig: max of 10
Jacob_Quinn: Are there d12s in this game?
Jacob_Quinn: I don't think there are.
Jacob_Quinn: Alright I think I'll add a dice to my Dog trait.
Igfig: For my damage, I'll take "time is ticking" at 1d4
Alphonse: lets do the experience after the session
Jacob_Quinn: Because ending all these things peacefully has convinced Jacob that he's really helping people.
Alphonse: for now lets talk to the girl then end
Igfig: Okay
Alphonse: so that next week we can focus on killing the bandits
Jacob_Quinn: I'm not really totally clear on damage.
Jacob_Quinn: But we'll clear that up later.
Igfig: P. 82
Igfig: short-term fallout list
Alphonse: 8 is longterm
Igfig: oh
Igfig: oh huh
Igfig: my bad
Alphonse: she said really harsh words :(
Igfig: so everybody takes some short term, and the 8s take some long-term
Alphonse: yeah
Jacob_Quinn: That actually makes a lot of sense narratively, too.
Jacob_Quinn: Seeing as Mord and Constance had it the worst.
Igfig: aye
Alphonse: ya
Alphonse: "Go get your daughter we need to speak to her too"
Jacob_Quinn: Alright, I'll just add a d4 trait about being distracted.
MordecaiKrieg: I think I'll take a 1d4 relationship with I forgot the name of the lady who almost shot me.
MordecaiKrieg: Yar, Constance.
Igfig: Constance?
Igfig: yes
MordecaiKrieg: It was literally right up a few sentences.
Alphonse: yeah ill do that too for shortterm
MordecaiKrieg: There, that relationship is now 1d4 Constance almost shot me.
MordecaiKrieg: Or maybe could have shot me.
Igfig: heheh
Igfig: oh, and I guess
MordecaiKrieg: Now to figure out what I'm doing with that 1.
Alphonse: just hold it
Alphonse: conflict over
Alphonse: tis gone
MordecaiKrieg: I mean the fallout die 1.
Alphonse: oh right
Igfig: "Edie! Come and show the Dogs out. And then call your brothers to wash up for dinner."
Jacob_Quinn: I added a die to my Dog trait.
Alphonse: wait
Alphonse: never mind
Alphonse: lets warp outsde with eddie
Igfig: ok
Igfig: "So what did she say?!"
Jacob_Quinn: "She agreed to let you marry Samuel, on one condition."
Alphonse: "She wants you to spend 3 days with Samuel"
Alphonse: "Before deciding if you want to marry him"
Jacob_Quinn: "The two of you are going to take the next three days to get to know each other better. If you still want to marry him, and he still wants to marry you, then you'll be married with our blessing."
Igfig: "I already know right now! Yes I want to marry him!"
Alphonse: WELP PROBLEM SOLVED
Jacob_Quinn: "I know you do. But your mother insisted that we give you two a little time, so let's just pretend for her sake, okay?"
Igfig: "Okay!" She hugs herself in excitement.
Alphonse: aw thats kind of cute
Jacob_Quinn: WE DID A GOOD THING GUYS/
Jacob_Quinn: Can we just assume we told Hamilton and Sam?
Igfig: "I'd better go call my brothers now. Bye, brother Dogs!"
Jacob_Quinn: Or do we actually need to go have that conversation?
Jacob_Quinn: "Bye, Edwina."
Igfig: we can assume
Alphonse: alright
Alphonse: lets end here
Igfig: Agreed
Alphonse: badunkadunk
Alphonse: now to spend my experience
Igfig: And if I were you, I'd brush up on Stewardship law for next time
MordecaiKrieg: I think I can justify giving myself another die on my wait for the proper time die in relation to that encounter and how it went.
Alphonse quit.
Jacob_Quinn: Very good!
Jacob_Quinn: Evening gents.
Jacob_Quinn quit.
Igfig: Night!
Igfig quit.
MordecaiKrieg: Night night.
MordecaiKrieg quit.
