18:59] <Rain[Storyteller]> The 4 of you were minding your own business walking back to home when you notice in the graveyard of the town a grove of trees near the back of the graveyard, this was normal for the most part as it was at the edge of the graveyard and town itself. What brings your attention though is the fact that their hiddne in the shadows is what looks like a small shack. [post equipment if you would
[18:59] <Rain[Storyteller]> be so inclinded and 4s if you want to use it]
[19:00] <Mariel> [back sorry had a long phone call]

[19:06] * Weathervane comes up to the graveyard as part of her usual patrol path, preparing to pass by it in her routine like she usually does, but noticing the shack in more than a passing glance.
[19:06] <Weathervane> [Weathervane, pegasus, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1, 1, Iron spear, poncho, saddlebags and starter kit]

[19:10] <Flora> [ok]
[19:10] <Hospik> [..the magic of friendship and bad story telling?]
[19:10] * Hospik is standing infront of his house, he forgot stardust is still in there with the only key
[19:10] * Hospik decides to walk a bit as he notices someone at the cemetary
[19:10] <Flora> [so i get +3 to hit]
[19:11] <Mariel> [yes, 4 when someone is weak]
[19:12] <Flora> [nope agility+earth pon thing]
[19:12] * Hospik walks up to the cemetary and looks around "hello?"
[19:13] <Mariel> [oh i confused yours with hospk for a second and saw a point in adrenaline]
[19:13] <Hospik> [ah]
[19:13] <Rain[Storyteller]> [fuck on sec lil sis needs some help withmath]
[19:13] * Mariel reaches the place, wearing her usual blue dress with black sleeves and stocking, a pendant with a stone in the shape of a pony hangs from her neck and a small blue flower decorates her long, blonde hair. Always carrying her sword around, ready for anything that might come up.
[19:14] <Rain[Storyteller]> [ok back i think]
[19:14] <Mariel> [we are taking quite long to start]
[19:14] <GreenSleeves> [Whelp. That is the first time I've gotten pinged for someone talking about sleeves IC....]
[19:14] <Hospik> "who's there?"
[19:15] <Rain[Storyteller]> [you all are in sight of each other just as a heads up][
[19:15] <Hospik> "come on, show yourself"
[19:15] <Rain[Storyteller]> [and we already started so Rp what you want to do really]
[19:15] * Mariel does a small inventory and gear check before continuing on the expedition
[19:16] <Mariel> "Mmhmm... mmhmm... mmhmm... alright"
[19:16] * Hospik looks around and notices Mariel "hey, what are you doing here?"
[19:16] * Flora is in the cemetery for more somber reason and prepares to leave until she bumps into Weather "Sorry for running into you Weather
[19:17] <Hospik> "people don't usually wander around the cemetary this time of day ya know"
[19:17] * Mariel turns to hospik "Im investigating some rumors, but i really dont need to give anyone an explanation"
[19:18] <Hospik> "well, geez, sorry"
[19:18] <Mariel> "It is more suspicious that someone rushes to someone to interrogate out of nowhere this late"
[19:18] <Mariel> "But i really dont care"
[19:18] * Mariel continues looking around
[19:18] * Weathervane steps up a small ways and nods to greet those nearby, giving a passive wave of her hoof as she waves her hoof. "No, no! You're good..." She turns her attention back to the hovel just off the side. "Wasn't paying much attention, myself. Something I hadn't noticed before there, heh."
[19:18] * Hospik looks at the necklace "well my home lies in eyesight"
[19:19] <Hospik> "and i'm just doing my duty"
[19:19] <Hospik> "so you're welcome"
[19:19] == Mellow has changed nick to Liven
[19:19] <Flora> "What did you see Weather?"
[19:19] * Mariel turns to hospik "You coming then? It would be better for both to stick together"
[19:20] * Hospik nods "sure"
[19:20] <Hospik> "so what rumor exactly?"
[19:20] * Mariel continues looking around for anything supicious... besides hospik
[19:20] <Rain[Storyteller]> The shack looks rather old, the only window is broken and the door hangs limply on the shack on closer inspection from the front at least.
[19:21] <Mariel> "People have been talking about strange sounds coming from this place, maybe a scavenger, maybe something else, but sounds exciting and worth a check"
[19:21] * Weathervane shrugs and covers her eyes to look over the distance. "That run-down little place over there... guess it just kinda blends with the scenery, heh."
[19:22] * Mariel carefully gets closer to the old shack
[19:22] <Hospik> "you know.. I did hear something, i actually figured it would've been people like you"
[19:22] == Starfire has changed nick to Starfire_Asleep
[19:22] * Mariel mutters to herself "...Maybe here?"
[19:22] <Flora> "We should check it out Weather"
[19:22] <Hospik> "getting aggitated when soneone does his job.."
[19:22] <Flora> "You know im always strapped"
[19:23] * Hospik looks around and follows Mariel, just in case
[19:23] <Rain[Storyteller]> As the ponies get closer to the shack or so I assume here as your not being very describtive about waht your doing really you enter the shadowed grove as your eyes adjust to the gloom you can make out what looks like a ramshackled house,
[19:23] * Mariel starts investigating the place
[19:23] <Mariel> [what do i see]
[19:24] * Hospik heads up to the house and tries to open the door
[19:24] <Rain[Storyteller]> A bed frame with a torn matress, a busted drawer and some knocked over chairs and bookcase can be seen inside when you poke your face up to the window. Trying the door it falls off its hinges crashing ot the ground, Flora and Weather can see some figures at the door of the hut as they trot up.
[19:25] * Mariel approaches to the bookcase
[19:25] * Flora hears the banging of hooves on the door and hear it collapse "Weather this place is getting robbed, lets put those guard powers to work"
[19:26] * Hospik Opens the drawer
[19:26] <Rain[Storyteller]> Getting close you can see it landed facefirst in on the ground
[19:26] <Mariel> [was it moved recently?]
[19:26] <Mariel> [any marks or something?]
[19:27] <Rain[Storyteller]> Opening the drawer reveals some clothing mostly worn and threadbare and just plain old. inspecting the book case closer you notice that there might be a book neath the bookcase!
[19:27] <Mariel> "Hospik, help me move this, please"
[19:27] * Weathervane steps off the path and steadily begins her approach to the building, hearing the crash up ahead and steps up to the fallen doorway. "Huh... worse shape than I first thought." She nods back to Flora. "Yeah... might be worth a look."
[19:27] * Hospik nods and heads over to help Mariel
[19:28] <Hospik> "alright, ready?"
[19:28] <Hospik> "push!"
[19:28] <Mariel> "ready"
[19:28] * Mariel pushes
[19:28] * Hospik starts pulling
[19:28] <Mariel> "Hmmmph!!"
[19:28] <Hospik> [from the other Side, that is]
[19:29] <Rain[Storyteller]> As Weather and Flora enter the hut they soon see Mari and Hospike attempting to lift the heavy bookcase which trembles by the twos efforts and is upright once more, undernearth it they see a old book and a trapdoor that looks like it leads to a celler.
[19:29] * Mariel checks the book
[19:29] * Flora jumps out "Stop right there criminal scum!"
[19:30] * Weathervane peeks into the wide-open entrance to the two, stepping forth with a little less zeal as she scratches her head. "What's all this noise?"
[19:30] * Mariel grabs her sword and turns
[19:30] * Hospik looks at the trapdoor "well, waddayaknow"
[19:30] * Hospik jumps a little as he turns to Flora
[19:30] <Hospik> "Flora?"
[19:30] <Mariel> "Oh... its you..."
[19:30] * Mariel puts her sword back
[19:30] * Mariel gets back to check the book
[19:31] <Flora> "Oh it's just you. Why are you robbiing the place?"
[19:31] <Mariel> "Hos... should we check the cellar as well?"
[19:31] <Hospik> "it's nothing Weathervane, Mariel was just snooping around"
[19:31] <Hospik> "so i checked to see if everything was okay"
[19:31] * Hospik pulls open the cellar door
[19:31] <Rain[Storyteller]> Inspecting the book shows that time has not been kind as the pages are water stained and the ink has bled out it seems not to mention the heavy book case crushed the spine. But squinting a tad and nearing the end of the book Mari can see the note 'please return to Plantsworthy'
[19:32] <Hospik> " hmgg!" strange noises, were heard"
[19:32] <Rain[Storyteller]> Hospik pulls on the iron ring of the cellar door and it opens with a creak. Down below he can make out utter darkness, as well as some stairs that lead downward.
[19:32] <Mariel> "....this book is completely rui-huh? ...Please return to Plantsworthy..."
[19:33] <Hospik> "and this is just too interesting"
[19:33] * Hospik adjusts his gear before he steps down into the cellar
[19:33] <Mariel> "Hmmm, well i guess thats all i can get from this book"
[19:34] * Mariel puts the book on her backpack "maybe i could recycle it"
[19:34] <Hospik> [what was the roll for casting light again?]
[19:34] * Mariel sees the cellar trapdoor open "Shall we continue?"
[19:34] <Nova_Flux> [ABLE?]
[19:34] <Nova_Flux> [>mariel going on back to back quest]
[19:34] * Flora follows after "Well i cant let you go in spooky cellar byyourself"
[19:34] <Nova_Flux> [smh]
[19:34] <Nova_Flux> [>flora too]
[19:35] <Flora> [i am to]
[19:35] <Hospik> "aww, thanks"
[19:35] * Hospik heads in a little deeper "everyone stay in one line"
[19:35] * Weathervane glances around the pitiable hut, turning her attention to the cellar door. "Huh. Well, who knows? Might learn something..."
[19:36] <Hospik> [Rain, roll what for casting light?]
[19:36] * Flora pulls out her glow moss to light the way "Your not the only one with light you know"
[19:36] <Rain[Storyteller]> Hospik lights up his horn as its a relatively simple spell and not under stress to do so, combined with Flora
[19:37] <Mariel> [what do we see?]
[19:37] <Hospik> "suuure, pull out your fancy rock"
[19:37] <Rain[Storyteller]> 's glow mass they can make out a small celler room where a door is off ahead and to their right, roll d20 please

[19:38] <Hospik> "well, this seems.. Empty"
[19:39] <Rain[Storyteller]> As the ponies enter the cellar room they can see what looked like small kegs on the shelf what looks like phials and on there as well some full some empty and even afew that are cracked aside from that and the door it doesnt look like there is anything else in the room.
[19:39] * Flora looks at whatever a phials is
[19:40] * Hospik checks the door infront of him
[19:40] <Mariel> [whats a phial? maybe you meant vial?]
[19:40] <Flora> "I wonder what this is"
[19:40] <Rain[Storyteller]> [vial phial yeah sorry same thing]

[19:41] <Flora> "i know i meant what could be inside it"
[19:41] <Hospik> "it's glass"
[19:41] * Hospik tries to open the door
[19:41] <Rain[Storyteller]> Inspecting the vials Flora can see that a majority of them seem rotten and spoiled and is that an eye?! Hospik as he goes over to try the door he feels something slither against his hooves! Hospik roll d20.

[19:42] * Mariel approaches to the vials "...i could use these"
[19:42] <Rain[Storyteller]> Before Hospik can react his front leg is wraped up in some dark slimy vine!
[19:42] <Mariel> [can i take the non-broken vials?
[19:42] * Flora holds up the vial in the light "Things look gross"
[19:43] <Hospik> "HEY!"
[19:43] <Rain[Storyteller]> [there is about 5 of them that can be used and taken so yes but um might wanna pay attention]
[19:43] * Hospik pulls back his leg
[19:43] * Mariel thinks hospik is still fighitng with the door "Dont be so loud man..."
[19:43] * Flora pockets 2 of the vials before turning to Hospik "What's wrong?"
[19:43] <Rain[Storyteller]> As Hospik pulls more vines appear from the ceiling and wall as it wraps more of his right leg and starts to take up his left front leg as well!
[19:44] <Hospik> "my hoof is stuc- Ey!"
[19:44] <Hospik> "erhm.."

[19:44] <Mariel> "Now what hos.... the heck is going on?!"
[19:44] * Weathervane turns and quickly paces to where she heard Hospik, noticing the vines and taking up her spear. "Geeze!"
[19:45] * Mariel rushes to aid hospik
[19:45] * Hospik points his horn to his hooves
[19:45] * Mariel draws her sword, ready to cut the vines down

[19:51] <Rain[Storyteller]> Closer inspection of the slimy vines shows that they seem to bubble...
[19:51] <Mariel> [how 2 high rols are fail?]
[19:51] * Flora is not amused by these vines
[19:51] <Hospik> "i would.. But my horn is.. Stuck"

[19:52] <Hospik> [just go with it]

[19:53] * Hospik just doesn't move
[19:54] <Flora> [ok]
[19:54] <Rain[Storyteller]> The vines continue to wrap around the ponies it alread has, Mari flora and Hospik they cover Mair's neck, Flora has her other front leg envoloped and Hospiks section seems to have slowed in response to his sudden movement of stilness. They then turn their attnetion on Weather and try to wrap her!

[19:56] * Weathervane thrusts the staff end of her spear down to where the vine wrapped, hoping to deter it and take it off.
[19:56] <Flora> "fuck you plants"
[19:56] <Hospik> "Flora, stop moving"

[20:10] <Flora> "Jesus Christ even Gustav doesn't do this"
[20:11] * Hospik sighs and looks around "don't worry, we'll get out of this easily enough"
[20:12] * Flora makes worried sounds
[20:13] <Hospik> "so, i can either levitate the stone to your hooves, Flora, or i can shoot the vines around your leg, so you can grab the stone yourself
[20:14] <Hospik> "eitherway, you should be able to free yourself with it, then us"
[20:14] <Flora> "you should probably get whoever is in deepest first"
[20:14] <Hospik> "you mean.. You?"
[20:15] <Flora> "I guess so but what about Mariel Weathervane and you?"
[20:15] <Mariel> "Just shoot that thing down"
[20:16] <Hospik> "you can use the stone"
[20:16] <Hospik> "or i could take a gamble, and try to make some more light"
[20:17] <Flora> "i think more light ould be better. You saw how it curled up"
[20:18] * Hospik looks at his horn "alright, but Don't blame me if this doesn't work out"
[20:19] <Flora> "I'm totally going to blame you"
[20:19] <Flora> "but you might fix it over a bottle of wine"
[20:20] <Hospik> "or by saving our lives"
[20:20] <Flora> "or that"
[20:20] <Flora> "that's even better"
[20:30] <Rain[Storyteller]> [ok back sorry had to make coco fro grams]
[20:30] <Flora> [john madden]
[20:31] <Mariel> [im kinda... leaving in 20 minutes, can we rush this?]
[20:31] <Rain[Storyteller]> Weathers turn!
[20:31] <Hospik> [so, my turn?]
[20:31] <Hospik> "everyone, just wait"
[20:31] <Flora> [dont worry we will npc you]
[20:31] <Mariel> [you already rolled a light missile]
[20:31] <Mariel> [no i dont trust my character to anyone]
[20:31] <Hospik> [but what are you going to do?]
[20:32] <Mariel> [only in emergency cases to rain]
[20:32] <Hospik> [pretty Sure i'm the only one that can do anything]
[20:32] <Mariel> [in b4 weather s afk]
[20:32] <Flora> [you dont work well with others do you?]
[20:32] <Hospik> [yup]
[20:32] <Rain[Storyteller]> [sorry about that...but um yeah its Weathers turn]
[20:33] <Mariel> [dindt we all agree to stay still aka skip turns for hospik to get us free?]
[20:33] * Weathervane isn't really in a position to do anything with her front legs occupied, instead nodding assuringly to Hospik.
[20:34] <Mariel> [yeah, all of us skip turn to let hospik act]
[20:34] <Rain[Storyteller]> Alright then Hospik do what you gonna do
[20:34] <Hospik> [alright, so, may i?]
[20:34] <Flora> [tfw don't have a horn]
[20:34] <Hospik> !roll d20 flashy light!
[20:34] <GameServ> 12 == 12
[20:34] <Mariel> [yeah, only you vs plant]
[20:35] <Hospik> [not extremely flashy, but flashy]
[20:35] * Hospik lights up his horn as bright as he can to Free everyone
[20:35] <Rain[Storyteller]> More of the plant is burnt away from the others and Hospik burning away to ash! Mari and Flora can now act un hindered! Weather and Hispikc have a few vines around their legs!
[20:36] <Hospik> "Flora! Get the stone!"
[20:36] <Rain[Storyteller]> Looking about Mari and Flora can see the root of the plant is in a darkened corner of the room !
[20:36] <Hospik> "maybe it'll help"
[20:37] <Flora> "fuck that it's acid time"
[20:37] <Flora> [note im only using some]
[20:37] * Hospik sighs deeply
[20:38] <Mariel> [not that counts as 1 item, youre not gonna carefully pour acid over a moving plant that traps what gets near]
[20:38] <Hospik> "Mariel get the stone and save us, Will ya?"
[20:39] <Mariel> [would proably be throwing the jar]
[20:39] <Flora> [hmm]
[20:39] <Flora> [good point and what stone?]
[20:39] <Rain[Storyteller]> [gm is a waiting on what you all are goin to do as Mari and Flora can act unhindered Weather could try reaching for glow moss and Hospik can try magic missle again if he so wished]
[20:39] <Mariel> [he means the moss]
[20:39] <Rain[Storyteller]> [i imagine the stone is what the glow moss is on]
[20:39] * Mariel has an idea and rushes to the trapdoor
[20:39] <Mariel> "Wait, i got a plan!"
[20:39] <Flora> [h]
[20:40] <Flora> ]o\
[20:40] <Mariel> [you said there was a torn matress right?]
[20:40] <Hospik> [sorry Rain, i guessed since i already went]
[20:40] <Rain[Storyteller]> Mari runs upstairs to see the torn matress yes
[20:40] <Hospik> [i was waiting for Flora or Mariel]
[20:40] * Flora gets the glow moss instead and shines it infront of Hospik's vines
[20:40] <Rain[Storyteller]> [its alright kinda the same oh goody]
[20:40] <Mariel> [maybe i can torn it even more and wrap it on a stick to make a torch with my fire starter]
[20:41] <Flora> [do i have to roll Rain?]
[20:41] <Hospik> "Flora"
[20:41] <Rain[Storyteller]> As Flora rubs the glow moss onto Hospics vines he is free! Now weather is the only one still tied up!
[20:41] <Hospik> "little help?"
[20:41] <Flora> "You're free"
[20:41] <Rain[Storyteller]> Flora and Hospic roll to avoid getting entangled again!
[20:42] <Hospik> !roll d20 magic missile on weather's leg
[20:42] <GameServ> 1 == 1
[20:42] <Flora> !roll d20+2 based dodge roll
[20:42] <GameServ> (13) + 2 == 15
[20:42] <Rain[Storyteller]> Mari once she gets to the top of the celler make s a makeshift toruch and soon enough lights it up!
[20:42] <Rain[Storyteller]> Hospic is entangled again from concentrating to hard one the spell! Which goes wide into the air
[20:42] * Mariel uses her sword to torn the matress pieces into thick stripes and then wraps one of the bed legs with it, then rushes back to the cellar
[20:43] * Mariel lights the torch on
[20:43] <Hospik> "ah!"
[20:43] <Mariel> "This should do it!"
[20:43] <Hospik> "little help!"
[20:43] * Weathervane sees the torchlight in the corner of her eye. "Gah... yeah, bring that light over here..."
[20:43] * Mariel rushes to aid weather
[20:44] <Hospik> "Flora, bring that stone back over here Will ya?"
[20:44] <Rain[Storyteller]> With the added light of the touch, hospiks horna nd the glow moss the vines shrivel up from the combined light freeing Weather then hospik as it unravels, Flroa avoids the vines the try to sweep her off her feet and they can now see the root of the plant!
[20:45] <Rain[Storyteller]> [what do now ponies? ]
[20:45] <Flora> [free hod]
[20:45] <Flora> hos
[20:45] <Mariel> [[attack it maybe?]
[20:45] <Hospik> !roll d20 bright Flash in the middle of the plant
[20:45] <GameServ> 20 == 20
[20:45] <Mariel> [well that works as well]
[20:46] * Hospik uses all his energy for a blinding light against the roots
[20:46] <Rain[Storyteller]> The plant almost screams in agony as its burnt away and evaporates into a ash pile poking out of the pile of ash can be seen a bone or two.
[20:46] <Rain[Storyteller]> {congrats youve defeated the Devil Snare!]
[20:46] * Weathervane sighs in relief as the vines unfurl, rubbing her hooves. "Ugh... thanks... and now..." She turns her sights to the root, blinking and rubbing her eyes from the light.
[20:46] <Weathervane> "Well then!"
[20:46] * Hospik sighs and sits down
[20:47] * Mariel approaches to the bones
[20:47] <Hospik> "stupid plant.."
[20:47] * Flora stomps the vines around Hos "fuck you plant"
[20:47] <Mariel> "...i guess someone didnt make it"
[20:47] * Mariel investigates the bones
[20:48] * Hospik gets up and levitates a bone towards himself
[20:48] <Mariel> [how many and what kind of creature was?]
[20:48] <Rain[Storyteller]> Digging in the ash reveals a hoof bone and part of a leg
[20:48] == Ikea has changed nick to Ikea_Sleep
[20:48] * Hospik drops the bone "now!"
[20:48] * Hospik Turns to the door a tries to open it
[20:48] * Mariel takes the bones "...hmmm"
[20:49] <Flora> [brb forced to do stuff]
[20:50] <Mariel> "What was that thing doing down here!"
[20:51] * Hospik tries to open the door "no idea, i'm just happy it's gone"
[20:51] <Rain[Storyteller]> Opening the door reveals what looks like a alchemy lab with shrivled reagents, a few beakers and bunson burners and a journal stained with something. Nearby is a cot that has seen better days as well in the small cramp room.
[20:51] <Hospik> [Rain, still alive?]
[20:51] <Mariel> "What is this place... a lab?"
[20:52] * Hospik steps into the room "hey, come look at this.."
[20:52] * Mariel looks around
[20:52] <Hospik> "a bed?"
[20:52] <Mariel> "This place is awesome... i wonder who lived here"
[20:52] <Hospik> "wasn't there a bed upstairs?"
[20:52] * Weathervane peeks inside the doorway as it opens, taking a few cautious steps and keeping away from anything fragile. "Oh my..."
[20:53] <Hospik> "i'm guessing Whoever was in that plant"
[20:53] * Mariel shivers "... maybe the one who was here got... eaten by that plant?"
[20:53] * Mariel spots the book
[20:53] <Rain[Storyteller]> Inspecting the lab reveals that almost all of the ingrediants are useless and unusable, near a chest are some empty vials and on the table where many a scorch mark is a ajournal
[20:53] <Mariel> "Maybe this can give us the answers"
[20:53] * Mariel pick up the journal and starts reading it
[20:53] * Hospik rolls his eyes before checking out the cot
[20:54] <Weathervane> "Good luck... books we find here tend to be... not in the best condition."
[20:54] * Hospik notices a chest a nearly dives in it
[20:54] * Hospik opens the chest
[20:54] <Mariel> "hmmmm..."
[20:55] <Rain[Storyteller]> Translating the basic equestrian it roughly says 'I cant believe it! I get to the be the apprentice to Master Plantsworthy! I am so excited to get started!'
[20:55] <Rain[Storyteller]> Inside the chest is more vials, some papers and clothing set aside for winter appearal
[20:55] * Hospik grabs and examines the clothing
[20:56] <Mariel> "...It seems... to be the journal of some sort of apprentice"
[20:57] <Hospik> [still usable?]
[20:57] * Mariel remembers the name she read on the previous book "Plantsworthy... maybe that was the teacher"
[20:58] <Hospik> "there's another book around somewhere?"
[20:58] * Mariel continues reading the book
[20:58] <Hospik> "maybe?"
[20:58] <Rain[Storyteller]> Flipping through the pages in which the author speaks of mundane things you notice this entry 'Today I learned my first set of potion ingrediatns! A important thing to note is the primer, its a small almost grass like plant that works to activate the more mundane ingrediants! its so fascinating! The difference tho is the fact that the primer or 'Blades of Grass' as Master calls it
[20:58] <Rain[Storyteller]> are particularly sharp almost like the Spikeweed but without the wide leaves as those tend to be huge in comparsion.' Yes the winter clothes, a scarf, coat and booties are still usable
[20:59] * Mariel gets completely focused on the book "Wow... this is...!"
[20:59] * Hospik packs up the clothes
[20:59] * Hospik is now high-fashion
[21:00] * Mariel keeps reading it with great interest
[21:00] * Mariel mutters to herself "Potions, huh?"
[21:00] * Hospik examines the papers from the chest
[21:01] <Hospik> "anything we could use?"
[21:01] * Mariel keeps totally focused on the book "Blade grass... that seems like the base for it"
[21:02] * Weathervane eyes the various substances and instruments about the lab, keeping her distance as she listens.
[21:02] <Rain[Storyteller]> 'Learned something interesting today Chicory leaves when added with the primeir can give a altering effect to the imbiber, i was going to ask more from Master but she seemed distracted as she left me to work it out myself as she went to her own lab. I keep hearing odd noises at night.' The papers show letters all written in basic showing the apprentices name was Bean Sprout and his
[21:02] <Rain[Storyteller]> correspondance with his family.
[21:03] <Mariel> "Weird noises? Maybe...!"
[21:04] * Mariel gets more and more excited as she reads
[21:04] <Hospik> "you know it'd be helpfull if you read outloud"
[21:05] * Mariel is completely into the book to hear her surroundings
[21:05] <Flora> [gah sorry im back]
[21:06] <Rain[Storyteller]> 'More i learned from my experiments and from what Master taught me was a simple formula called Base+Catalyzer is = or > the reagents and binders used. Its a balancing act of getting the reactivity of the reagents and base used equal to one another or at least not over the base and catalzyers as the potions tend to fizzle when going over. I am getting worried Master seems almost possesed
[21:06] <Rain[Storyteller]> by her work, I peeked in a few times and all i could see where Ginsend a relaxtant and Spinach which can increase stength when primed before i was chased out of the lab.'
[21:06] <Hospik> [nothing interesting, besides a book Mariel is hogging]
[21:06] <Rain[Storyteller]> Peering over the engrossed mare others could read the book as well
[21:06] <Rain[Storyteller]> [i had assumed she had been reading it but this works too]
[21:07] * Flora reads along brain being filled with info
[21:08] * Mariel starts memorizing the text she passionately reads as she gets really excited "I have those... and those too!"
[21:08] * Hospik checks the papers from the chest
[21:10] * Flora looks near the cot hoping to find something of use "Mariel you know your going to share that book right"
[21:10] <Rain[Storyteller]> Turning to the last entry reveals a mordid page as there are brown stains on the paper where through the stains one can read 'I found, I found Master in her lab she was, she was in some weird plant she had Created! She Violated one of the aspects of Alchemy!! Thou shalt not create Life! She seemed to be using it for for lewd things and tried to to make me join her before I saw her
[21:10] <Rain[Storyteller]> get consumed by the plant! The dark slippery thing had tried to reach for me before I slammed my door close and locked it I can hear it now banging bangin-' the last words are interupted by a splatter of ink as if the quil used was broken from too mcuh pressure or from the ink pot breaking.
[21:11] * Mariel is speachless "....!!!"
[21:11] <Rain[Storyteller]> The papers show how Bean Sprout was so excited to be an apprentice from Hoofington and how he was goinh to earn enough money to send back to his mother who was chronically ill.
[21:11] <Hospik> [lewd plant~]
[21:11] <Flora> [~]
[21:12] <Hospik> [i didn't expect it, but, HA]
[21:12] * Flora isn't as surprised as she thought she would be reading the last part "Note to self..."
[21:12] * Weathervane trots and peeks over to read along, noticing the ink splotch and grimacing from the implications. "Eesh..."
[21:12] * Mariel then, speaks in a soft yet firm voice "Aspects of Alchemy" as if those words were drilling into her mind
[21:13] * Hospik tosses the papers about looking deeper into the chest
[21:13] <Rain[Storyteller]> Reading amongst the letters Bean Sprout makes a mention to his mother how he and his master was visted by a brown unicorn with grey shaggy eyebrows and a rather nice goatee that encircled his mouth what ever that style of beard was called in his own words before MAster begain to be devoted to a new project.
[21:13] <Hospik> [note to self, burn Flora's note to self]
[21:13] <Rain[Storyteller]> Looking deeper into the chest reveals a small locket
[21:14] * Hospik examines it
[21:14] * Mariel approaches to the alchemy tools
[21:14] <Rain[Storyteller]> Prying open the locket shows a small portrait of a mare with lined eyes and a tired smile as a small colt can be seen beaming at the camera
[21:15] <Mariel> "....This could lead to amazing discoveries, or enormous disasters"
[21:15] * Mariel carefully starts grabing a burner and some beakers
[21:15] * Flora looks under the bed not opting to touch the matter with her bare hoof
[21:15] * Hospik keeps the locket
[21:16] <Rain[Storyteller]> Under the bed reaveals what looks to be a satchel of some sort
[21:16] <Flora> "Hey Hos get me some equipment will you. I have to look at something"
[21:16] * Mariel grabs enough for her to start her own experiments
[21:16] * Flora looks inside the satchel
[21:17] * Hospik grabs some alchamy and sets it up on the table equipment
[21:18] <Hospik> [*alchamy equipment]
[21:18] <Mariel> [alchemy]
[21:18] <Hospik> [oh schut up]
[21:18] <Hospik> [i knew that ]
[21:19] <Rain[Storyteller]> Inside the satchel looks like a few papers reading them reveals that the tools of alchemy and methods are listed; Boil, Burn, Grind, Simmer, and Distill are some of the means in which a beginner alchemist can start out with. A second hand note is written on the side that reads 'Master says that this isent the only thing a alchemist can do its entirely up to the potion maker what they
[21:19] <Rain[Storyteller]> wish to do, must keep that in mind...'
[21:19] <Rain[Storyteller]> There is enough equipment to divy up three basic labs
[21:19] <Mariel> [i got one]
[21:20] * Mariel approaches to flora and peeps on the notes as well
[21:20] <Hospik> "weathervane"
[21:20] <Hospik> "need some equipment aswell?"
[21:21] <Flora> "hmm... we will need to bring these back to town"
[21:21] <Hospik> "there's still some left"
[21:21] <Mariel> "Boil... Burn... Simmer... Distill..."
[21:21] * Weathervane glances around the room with a thoughtful nod before turning to Hospik. "Hm? Eh, I dunno..."
[21:22] * Mariel starts copying everything on her own pages
[21:22] <Hospik> "this might be your only chance"
[21:22] <Flora> "If you don't we will just bring it back to town"
[21:22] <Hospik> "you don't see many sets like these just laying around"
[21:22] <Flora> "and Mariel can i please have the journal you picked up when you are finished"
[21:22] * Weathervane nods to Flora. "Probably for the best... maybe save it for someone who really could get more use out of it!"
[21:23] <Flora> "exactly might be able to make something good with it"
[21:24] * Hospik tries to lift the chest with equipment
[21:24] <Mariel> "Sorry, this will take long"
[21:24] <Rain[Storyteller]> With a grunt Hospik manages to get the chest on his back though its heavy enough to strain the unicorn he wont be able to make it very far with it for long
[21:25] * Mariel is copying everything, the notes, the letters and the book
[21:25] * Hospik puts the chest back down and sighs
[21:25] <Flora> "Don;t worry babe I'll help you with that when we leave"
[21:26] <Feldspar> [what language is it in? That magical thingy language, or basic Equestrian?]
[21:26] <Flora> [basic my fair Feldspar]
[21:26] * Mariel looks around suddenly "....maybe we should leave this place first, before something else comes up"
[21:26] <Feldspar> [cool.]
[21:26] <Rain[Storyteller]> [basic since its quicker to write down notes and the like and its an aprentice wet behind the ears kid barely an adult]
[21:27] <Feldspar> [B-But he was the skyrim protagonist! H-He can learn how to everything in 3 days]
[21:27] * Mariel starts walking to the exit
[21:27] <Flora> [i thought this was just a closed off room]
[21:28] <Hospik> "pfff, what could possibly come get us?"
[21:28] <Flora> [just one door]
[21:28] <Flora> "You know you can help carry this stuff to"
[21:28] <Mariel> [>implying i didnt take one of the sets already]
[21:29] <Hospik> [how?]
[21:29] <Mariel> [you dont need 4 ponies to carry 3 sets, but you want to take the whole chest]
[21:29] <Mariel> [scroll up?]
[21:29] <Flora> [implying you dont help carry stuff as a group effort]
[21:29] <Hospik> [it's all different GLASS equipment]
[21:30] <Rain[Storyteller]> [Okay a basic lab is a bunson burner a few beakers and a stirring stick with a moret and pestal, the group effort is for carrying the chest with all that stuff in it more or less]
[21:30] <Hospik> [you can't possibly Carry all that]
[21:30] <Rain[Storyteller]> [juuuust to clarify for all]
[21:30] <Flora> "So help a little"
[21:31] <Hospik> [ah i already took everything of value from that crate, Rain]
[21:31] <Hospik> [the clothing and locket, that is..]
[21:31] <Hospik> [not very valuable]
[21:32] * Flora goes to the remaining vials and looks at them
[21:32] <Mariel> [usually beakers come in different sizes and can be put inside each other for easier transportation, but fine, carry the whole chest that already got looted]
[21:32] <Flora> [i'll just put the stuff in the chest]
[21:33] <Hospik> [Logic, yeah!]
[21:33] <Rain[Storyteller]> [Well im not saying you cant take the chest with you, for a 1000 years its held together rather well er whoops never mind that detail its not like the devil snare was the precursor for the Conquering Seeds or nothing....]
[21:33] * Mariel sighs as she sees how everyone try to completely ravage the whole room
[21:33] <Mariel> "Fine, lets take the chest"
[21:34] <Flora> [lel what]
[21:34] <Hospik> "just so ya'll know, it's my chest"
[21:34] <Hospik> "seeing how i saved us all"
[21:35] <Rain[Storyteller]> Now since everyone is getting together and working together you all are able to easily transport the chest ot wherever you may need it to go as the adventure is over and I hope you all had fun, IC how ever you wish from this point on and gimme a holler or anyone else whom you wish to have GM the potion creation thing with
[21:35] * Flora puts the remaining vials in her bag and starts putting supplies into the chest
[21:35] <Rain[Storyteller]> [um well you all know how Discord made those vines that are antimagical and stretchy and tend to move about rather quickly but had spikes and such?]
[21:36] * Hospik chuckles before slowely pulling up the chest and placing it on his back "errrgh, aaalright"
[21:36] <Rain[Storyteller]> [:D I linked us to cannon of the show :D]
[21:36] <Hospik> [NADNESS!]
[21:36] <Mariel> [in b4 retcon for only that]
[21:36] <Hospik> [that's worse then madness]
[21:36] <Flora> [oh boy being raped by pants here i cum]
[21:37] <Hospik> [\me slaps Flora]
