Nessey: Host floats up in the air and looks down with a stern face.

Nessey: Yoshi doesn't understand that.
Nessey: Yoshi says we will not stay unmolested in this castle.
Nessey: Yoshi says we should tie up Chamferton and leave him to be found by his servants and we should leave.
Nessey: Nessey says it would not be a good idea for us to leave the castle if he has taken copies of our masters' faces.
Nessey: Chamferton scoffs.
Nessey: Nessey says she is willing to take Caelesti back to her rooms.

Nessey: Nessey fails a will save and Chamferton says he knows what she is thinking.
Nessey: He says he can tell Nessey agrees with him that it would be better to take my masters away rather than have all pawns in this room die.
Nessey: He says again for us to take our masters away.
Nessey: Carric and Caelesti are still unconscious.
Nessey: Chamferton asks Yoshi again to reconsider, as he is a kind and merciful host.
Nessey: He says we can talk again tomorrow morning.
Nessey: Yoshi finally agrees.
Nessey: Nessey immediately picks up Caelesti and carries her back to the girls' room.
Nessey: Yoshi and Mavis carry Carric between them.
Nessey: Carric does not feel noticeably lighter, nor does Caelesti, presumably.
Nessey: Before we get to our rooms, as soon as we are out of earshot, Yoshi says we must leave this place immediately.
Nessey: Mavis says it will take time to gather our goods and mules.
Nessey: Yoshi says nevertheles we have no choice.
Nessey: Nessey - Yoshi, but if he did make copies of their faces, then how are we going to get them back.
Nessey: Nessey - You should have let me look in the cabinet, I might have found their faces.
Nessey: Mavis says she is suspicious but does not feel in immediate danger.
Nessey: Nessey - now that he thinks Mavis is a gamesmen, he will probably try to take her face.
Nessey: Nessey says "taking faces" seems to mean he can spy on us.
Nessey: Mavis - if only Carric and Caelesti were conscious, they could give us opinion.
Nessey: Nessey - if they were conscious, perhaps they could spy on us!
Nessey: Mavis - yes, yes, we must keep them unconscious. But we only saw the Harpie questioning.
Nessey: Mavis - WE have not seen the Harpy around.
Nessey: Nessey's Bless is still up, as is Pro Evil.
Nessey: Nessey says girls and boys should take turn guarding while others pack.
Nessey: mavis is a smart ass.

Nessey: Mavis joins her. Then we watch while Yoshi packs and collects Tan Kuran.
Nessey: We carry out unconscious companions to the stables.
Nessey: We encounter the Butler at the front door.
Nessey: Yoshi shoves the butler aside or knocks him unconscious?
Nessey: The butler falls to the floor.
Nessey: We make our way out to stables and find our horses and mules.

Nessey: We head out to the hills above the castle.
Nessey: Nessey, the part Ranger, finds us a good campsite on top of a hill where we can see and not be seen.

Nessey: he is firmly slapped in either case.
Nessey: he finally wakes up and finds two women slapping him vigorously.
Nessey: He is confused.
Nessey: He feels and finds he still has a face.
Nessey: Carric says he last recalls having drinks with Chamferton.
Nessey: Yoshi says the Wiz gave them too much wine on purpose.
Nessey: Carric says he told them he uses a wand to do the face thing.
Nessey: The wand Carric describes sounds like the wand Yoshi said the Harpy used.
Nessey: Carric says he didn't like the idea of him asking questions of the face. He spoke of communicating to their mutual bennefit. Carric wants to look at the lake for his face. Yoshi says it might not be there yet.
Nessey: Nessey complains again that we should have searched the room.
Nessey: mavis - we rescued you - after a fashion.
Nessey: Mavis - he called me nasty names.
Nessey: Nessey - he called her Little Demon.
Nessey: Carric - that's the last time I have a meal with him.
Nessey: Mavis - how was the wine?
Nessey: Carric -good, but heady.
Nessey: Mavis - So, Carric, do you think he was evilly disposed?
Nessey: Carric - i trust Yoshi on that. It did seem suspicious that he kept asking.
Nessey: Carric slurs his words.
Nessey: Carric says - do we know what happened between when he was unconscious and now?
Nessey: Yoshi and mavis relate what we do know.
Nessey: Carric says he was unconscious long enough that his body could have been substituted.
Nessey: Nessey says, oh, yeah, that once happened to me!
Nessey: Carric says he doesn't trust himself.
Nessey: Yoshi says he should turn into an Eagle and get intimate with Tan Kuran and she should know the difference.
Carric rolls CLW (d8 + 5): [5 + 5] = 10
Nessey: Carric first offers to "help out Yoshi" with curing or harming.
Nessey: Carric then suggests we hide and watch the lake.
Nessey: Mavis points out that Ranger Nessey found a nice spot where we could spy the lake and not be seen.
Nessey: Carric is favorably impressed, assuming this is Carric -!!
Nessey: Mavis asks about the habits of Harpies.
Nessey: Yoshi says from one evil such we can certainly generalize to all.
Nessey: Nessey has to explain Polar Bears to Carric least he confuse them with White Pombies.
Nessey: Nessey - to Carric - why don't you turn into an Eagle and go fly down and look for your face.
Nessey: Have we seen anyone leave the castle since we have been up here?
Nessey: Apparently not.
Nessey: Yoshi says he might be biding his time.
Nessey: Mavis says he might be able to question them from the castle.
Nessey: Mavis wishes we had thought to take the wand.
Nessey: Nessey - he wasn't going to give it up voluntarily.
Nessey: Carric - a thief might have...
Nessey: Nessey - yes, if we haven't been so aggressive!
Nessey: Mavis objects to the word thief.
Nessey: Yoshi corrects himself rapidly to "Sleight of Hand"
Nessey: Mavis says it is good to be manually dexterous.
Nessey: Yoshi says he too is considered dexterous by some....
Nessey: Nessey - says, ah, by Ursula?
Nessey: Yoshi's dexterity is legendary in Betand.
Nessey: There will be a Flasher statue of him in that town. ;-)
Nessey: Yoshi blinks at us with innocent eyes.
Nessey: We wonder if Chamferton gives wand to Harpy on purpose or she is dexterous.
Nessey: Mavis says should we attack the Harpy next time to get the wand?
Nessey: Sadly, Caelesti is not awake to make us fly - to even out any battle with the Harpy.
Nessey: Should we stop here?
Nessey: We did escape.
Nessey: Carric worries that Chamferton might be collecting other body parts and putting them up in a lake of something else.
Nessey: Don't move to New Jersey, especially if you are Charlie the Unicorn, the Nessey: Yoshi says we could Caelesti awake just enough to cast a spell(s) fly.
Nessey: Mavis says we don't want to slap Caelesti.
Nessey: Mavis says Carric is not awake enough.
Nessey: Nessey says we should slap Carric on each butt cheek.
Nessey: Mavis says we should slap his top cheeks.
Nessey: We do so.
Nessey: Carric does not respond.
Nessey: We try again.
Nessey: Mavis calls Carric a chauvenist pig.
Nessey: Carric confesses, so we leave him alone.
Nessey: Nessey - his cheeks look nice and rosy this way.
Nessey: Yoshi talks about pinning someone down and slapping their belly or ass until it turns red.
Nessey: The purpose is boy cruelty, he says.
Nessey: Then Carric talks about wedgies.
Nessey: But is not explicit enough.
Nessey: Nessey says she has heard of whirlies.
Nessey: We reconvene on Tuesday.
