Christine is outside the front resting at the moment.

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 881):

What did the boots Emma was looking at look like?

Would the light from the alchemists flask distract her?

As McNealy notices the reaction of Masugatan, the tradesman gets a wicked look on his face, and tosses the vial to the adventurer.

"Catch, my friend."

As long as Masugatan isn't too far away, it's a good throw.

[Private to GM: 11:45, Today: Secret Roll: McNealy rolled 11 using 3d6.  McNealy Throwing 13.]

In reply to McNealy (msg # 883):

!!!!! Catch that please!!!!!


Jednesa has reached a dead end...


The boots look soft...

Masugatan tries to catch it.

16:38, Today: Masugatan rolled 8 using 3d6.  Catch.

"Can we avoid alchemical potions flying through the air in such an uncontrolled way? They definitely make me nervous..."

Jednesa crawls back out and sits by the wagon confused.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 887):

Christine, resting by the wagon, comforts her confused friend.

"Let the little folk work out the holes in the ground. I gave then entry, they can surely sort things out from here while we guard the wagon...and the entry!"

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 888):

The new enteance and the related doors are large enough for the ogress to enter.

OOC: did I catch it?

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 890):

Masugatan caught the vial.


The boots are made of supple fine leather, and have silver thread for the stitching.

“The next time you throw one of these at me, it’s going up your back door, Alchy.” He carefully sets the vial down and steps away from it.

Shaking her head at McNealy and Masugatan, Evelina beckons to her sister and approaches the smaller door and begins looking closely at the handle, frame and the floor where you'd stand to open it.

[Private to GM: 18:47, Today: Evelina Grattan rolled 9 using 3d6.  Traps (9 + 1 for extra time) to check smaller door.]

The younger sister follows the older, and takes a stance to one side of the door, at least a couple yards back (to give whip room) as she uncoils her whip.  "Ready, Holiness."

In reply to Elaina Grattan (msg # 894):

Emma has to try on the boots, to see how they fit. She ignores the others banter for now.

"Do you think they match?" She asks.

[Private to GM: How heavy are they? Does she not anything when she tries them on? Rolled 3 under IQ...]

“Looks good to me, lady.”

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 896):

Concerns about her looks addressed, Emma notices the flask in Masugatan's hand.

"What the hell, are you guys playing games with volatile substances? An alchemist should know better..." she says in a disappointed voice. She shakes her head, before continuing.

"So, what else have we got? Through the door, I see."

She readies her quarterstaff, the yellow gem in the end glowing, the light shining to resemble the sun that represents her god, and moves closer to the door to offer light, but stays behind Masugatan.

She now has on both the coat and the boots...her original shoes hang from hr side by their laces.

The elder sister continues methodically checking the door and its space.

McNealy checks the vial sitting on the floor to see if the vigorous shaking had caused it to give off light, as he was expecting.  As he walks over to pick it up, he laughs at Masugatan.  "Impulsive of me, but nice catch.  It needed to be shaken, and that seemed like a good way to get it done."

OOC It looks like the rest of the group is going to open a door.  He will examine the liquid in the vial and see what shaking it has uncovered in the potion.

[Private to GM: As you were very concerned about it being caught, does McNealy pick up on anything unusual about the potion now that it has been properly agitated?
10:41, Today: Secret Roll: McNealy rolled 12 using 3d6.  McNealy Alchemy 18.]

In reply to McNealy (msg # 899):

Emma doesn't make any sound as she walks!

The bil is glowing,  but a layer of fluid remains separated and appears to be turbulently reacting with the other layer of liquid...


Part of the substrate is phosphorus, and part of the solute is napthalene. When stabilized, it merely glows. Apparently these vials have partially decomposed to some of the active ingredients of alchemical fire, only less stable, kind of like nitroglycerin., except sticky.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 900):

Oooh, that sounds like plastic explosives...good thing Emma knows nothing about that!

Instead, she just moves about like a ghost, except when she talks...and now, she is holding the light for whoever is opening the door.

Evelina seems to be taking rather a long time, checking the door area in great detail.

OOC: spent Extra Time for a skill bonus, so a minute to check becomes two.

OOC: More like "greek" or as DFRPG calls it, alchemical fire.  It'll burn until it's completely burned itself out, runs out of oxygen (water counts as an oxygen source), or is magically/divinely/druidically/etc'ly suppressed.

MbNealy probably needs to put it in a container that can handle the rapid expansion of gases and flammable liquid.  Hopefully a container that's not inflammable.

And while Jednesa is inflammable, she is not a container.

Right now a small part of Jareth (for he lives within me) desperately wants to see what happens if the bubbling container were put in an area magically Fireproofed.

He probably already knows, but still, it's for Applied Philosophy!

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 903):

He kind of remind me of the Nutty Professor. Good thing some of us are staying well out of the blast zone to pick up the pieces aid in recovery...
