			[LowEstate]/21:44 Rob takes Jota's suggestion and does a bit of a page amend/edit

			[LowEstate]/01:23 lpsmith exclaims, "Woo!"

			[LowEstate]\|01:23 lpsmith says, "Aww, timing ;-)"

			[LowEstate]/13:13 Jota says (to inky), "I have a question about Fate Point mechanics."

			[LowEstate]\|13:13 Jota asks, "Given that we are about to recover fate points, is there any reason not to spend the remaining ones we have first?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:13 Jota says, "(Aside from potentially 'metagaming makes the GM sad'.)"

			[LowEstate]\|13:14 inky says, "yeah, I don't see why not"

			[LowEstate]\|13:17 josh_g says, "I approve greatly of the use of my Reflexes roll, btw"

			[LowEstate]/13:50 lpsmith says, "Man, what the heck. Rolled a natural 11, making this a 14."

			[LowEstate]\|13:52 Jota asks, "Is that unusual?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:52 lpsmith says, "We just all keep rolling really high."

			[LowEstate]\|13:52 lpsmith says, "(not that I am complaining)"

			[LowEstate]\|13:53 Jota says, "(I am just joking because I haven't managed to roll less than an advanced success yet.)"

			[LowEstate]\|13:53 lpsmith says, "Ha."

			[LowEstate]\|13:53 lpsmith says, "I rolled an 8 on reflexes last turn, but that didn't end up applying much; maybe it'll apply to when I can act this turn."

			[LowEstate]\|13:54 josh_g says, "I've been taking all the low rolls for y'all"

			[LowEstate]\|13:55 Jota asks (of lps), "Er. Who is it who just stepped into the whirlwind?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:55 josh_g says, "ha ha ha"

			[LowEstate]\|13:55 josh_g says, "I knew I shouldn't have picked a name with the same first letter"

			[LowEstate]\|13:55 lpsmith says, "Whoops, ha."

			[LowEstate]\|13:58 josh_g asks, "I'm still kind of adjusting to the story-rpg-vs-game-rpg mentality here. do we need to assume that inky's got a use for that bone wand in mind, or can we just make something up for it and run with it?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:58 lpsmith says, "That's a good question."

			[LowEstate]\|13:59 josh_g says, "I think if nothing else I'll make a sort of intent statement re: what Aernoud is ready to do with the wand depending on how it's useful"

			[LowEstate]\|13:59 lpsmith says, "I think that the bone wand has an 'objective' use."

			[LowEstate]\|13:59 lpsmith says, "That makes sense."

			[LowEstate]\|13:59 Jota says, "Yeah, I felt like I was pushing things a bit with the storeroom, but inky seemed happy to roll with it."

			[LowEstate]\|13:59 lpsmith says, "Yeah, I'm totally pushing things here, too ;-)"

			[LowEstate]\|14:00 Jota says, "Also, I am now imagining a sequence of events: 'Aernod discovers that the wand will banish the djinn back to the desert' -> 'Antheunis leaps into the whirlwind' -> 'Aernod triggers the wand' -> 'Where's Antheunis?'"

			[LowEstate]\|14:00 lpsmith says, "Hee"

			[LowEstate]\|14:02 Jota says, "(Also, where's the 'u' in Aernoud's name?)"

			[LowEstate]\|14:05 Jota says, "I wonder if we'll be taking a day off after this to recharge everyone's fate points."

			[LowEstate]\|14:08 josh_g says, "like I said, taking all the low rolls for y'all"

			[LowEstate]\|14:08 josh_g says, "think I'll push another Fate Point at that, a partial success sounds scary right now"

			[LowEstate]\|14:09 Jota says (to josh), "A partial success might just negate your parenthetical."

			[LowEstate]\|14:09 Jota says, "(Which I suspect lps would be perfectly happy with.)"

			[LowEstate]\|14:09 josh_g says, "heh"

			[LowEstate]\|14:11 Jota says, "Too bad the Environmental Evocation aspect on the room probably won't help with the wand stuff."

			[LowEstate]\|14:11 lpsmith says, "Yeah, I actually thought that getting a partial success on my own roll might be more appropriate, given the stupidity of the attempt ;-)"

			[LowEstate]\|14:12 josh_g says, "ha ha"

			[LowEstate]\|14:14 lpsmith says (to inky), "I would actually be OK with (if not actively in favor of) an even more interesting success accompanied by some sort of cost. I mean, there's the dice and all, but there's also stepping into a hostile whirlwind."

			[LowEstate]\|14:14 Jota asks (of josh), "See? See?"

			[LowEstate]\|14:15 lpsmith says, "I was wondering if relaxing to reset the fate points also reset the unlocked techniques or not, or if those carry over."

			[LowEstate]\|14:16 lpsmith says, "Wait, I already unlocked advanced successes for Nature rolls, didn't I? Awesome."

			[LowEstate]\|14:16 Jota says, "I don't think it ununlocks techniques... that'd be sad."

			[LowEstate]\|14:17 Jota says, "'Once unlocked, a technique is available for the rest of the adventure (without having to pay to unlock each time).'"

			[LowEstate]\|14:18 Jota says, "'Rest of the adventure' seems pretty clearly different from 'until you relax'."

			[LowEstate]\|14:18 lpsmith asks, "And 'advanced successes count' is a 'technique'?"

			[LowEstate]\|14:20 Jota says, "Yeah."

			[LowEstate]\|14:20 Jota says, "It's one of the bullet points under 'Things a technique can do'."

			[LowEstate]/18:33 Rob asks, "dang, did I miss my chance to turn on the waterworks?"

			[LowEstate]\|18:37 Rob asks, "how do fate points regenerate?"

			[LowEstate]\|18:39 inky says, "when you take a break"

			[LowEstate]\|18:39 inky says, "(which, yeah, probably seems like a reasonable thing to have happen after this bit in the lab is sorted out)"

			[LowEstate]\|18:40 Rob says, "aha"

			[LowEstate]\|18:40 lpsmith exclaims (at Rob), "No, you didn't miss your chance--I'm counting on it!"

			[LowEstate]\|18:41 Rob says, "I was thinking the thing with the water valve would be that it was old and rusted stuck and I'd have to amazingly have an oil can on hand or something. or maybe it's up too high and I need a footstool, blah blah"

			[LowEstate]\|18:41 Rob says, "oh ok"

			[LowEstate]\|18:42 Rob says, "or it just works, I just haven't typed it yet even though you're all whirlwinded already"

			[LowEstate]\|18:42 Rob says, "oh wait, you did say it worked already"

			[LowEstate]\|18:42 Rob says, "man, my short-term retention is lousy lately"

			[LowEstate]\|18:43 lpsmith says, "Well, yes, I assumed that it worked just so that I could write a description up, but I also wrote that I stepped into the whirlwind before it started, so we can retroactively change things up if tht fails or something."

			[LowEstate]\|18:43 Rob says, "hm ok"

			[LowEstate]\|18:45 Rob says, "this is where I again feel like I'm not quite confident about how to write up what I'm doing and whether it needs a roll or not"

			[LowEstate]\|18:46 Rob says, "I'll pretend it's because Lazer is depressed and moody and therefore indecisive at crucial moments"

			[LowEstate]\|18:49 Jota says, "It looks like you rolled for it last turn and succeeded."

			[LowEstate]\|18:50 Rob asks, "yeah. so that wasn't just for finding the valve, it was turning it, too?"

			[LowEstate]\|18:51 Jota says, "Based on how inky wrote it, that seems likely."

			[LowEstate]\|18:51 lpsmith says, "Yeah, so you could turn it whenever you wanted to."

			[LowEstate]\|18:52 Jota says, "I bet that if you'd gotten a partial success, inky might have said that you found it, but it was all rusted up or something."

			[LowEstate]\|18:53 Rob says, "ok, that makes sense"

			[LowEstate]\|18:55 Jota says, "Of course, if you feel like roleplaying it, there's nothing wrong with you saying that it's all rusted, oh no, but hey you have a wrench, yay."

			[LowEstate]\|13:07 josh_g says, "it's so crazy it just ... might start a war between planes that ravages the entire world for centuries"

			[LowEstate]\|13:07 lpsmith exclaims, "Cool!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:07 inky says, "ha ha"

			[LowEstate]\|13:07 Jota says, "Or you might merge with it into a super djinnaiad level 2 elemental."

			[LowEstate]\|13:08 Jota exclaims, "With the power of quicksand!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:08 lpsmith says, "Ha ha djinnaiad"

			[LowEstate]\|13:08 josh_g says, "and then you have to speak in Dark Archon voice from Starcraft for the rest of the adventure"

			[LowEstate]\|13:08 lpsmith exclaims, "I've already been doing that!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:08 josh_g says, "yay"

			[LowEstate]\|13:10 lpsmith asks, "Should I go for it? Any other ideas?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:12 josh_g says, "hmm, just looking over the last turn again"

			[LowEstate]\|13:12 josh_g says, "my attention's been on the wand and the gem, but there's also the obvious thing of the device"

			[LowEstate]\|13:13 josh_g says, "but, I guess there's no sign that the device is directly connected to keeping the djinn there"

			[LowEstate]\|13:13 Jota says, "Whoa, I just Googled 'djinnaid', and all the results are in Japanese."

			[LowEstate]\|13:14 Jota says (to josh), "We also haven't searched the room to see if the device is actually here or not, I don't think."

			[LowEstate]\|13:14 josh_g says, "there are papers scattered on the desk, other objects from the painting are dusty and on the shelves ... but probably there's no time for studying papers"

			[LowEstate]\|13:14 lpsmith says, "If it is, it'd be the model."

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 * NewsBoy hollers, "Extra! Extra! Rob has posted message 15, about 'MUDchat recap page', to the bulletin board! Somebody pay neild his royalties!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 Jota asks (of lps), "The miniature version?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 Jota says, "Even still, it might be enough to amplify a simple magical effect."

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 Rob says, "now I have to catch up on what's actually happening right now"

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 lpsmith says, "Yeah, water damage is one thing I'm worried about, but I'm not sure I'd survive without a dose of my element to bolster me."

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 lpsmith says (to Jota), "Right."

			[LowEstate]\|13:16 Jota says, "E.g., if someone had a creature that could teleport short distances, carrying small objects with it, perhaps the model might let that creature teleport a longer distance carrying a creature with it..."

			[LowEstate]\|13:16 Jota says, "Say, to the closest desert."

			[LowEstate]\|13:16 lpsmith says, "What turn is there a description of the painting? I'm not finding it."

			[LowEstate]\|13:16 josh_g says (to Jota), "I think the device was meant to tap into existing magical nexus...es, but that this location was devoid of such"

			[LowEstate]\|13:17 josh_g says (to lpsmith), "there's stuff in the start of turn 5"

			[LowEstate]\|13:17 Jota says (to lps), "Turn 5, the bullet points at the top."

			[LowEstate]\|13:17 Rob says, "antheunis is half naiad? I forgot that, but it explains the comments yesterday and also why he's a 'slippery' urchin"

			[LowEstate]\|13:17 josh_g says, "plus some less-specific stuff in turn 4"

			[LowEstate]\|13:18 Jota says (to josh), "Oh yeah, good point, I forgot we were in the ley line dead zone."

			[LowEstate]\|13:18 Jota says (to josh), "I guess the device would probably get zero bars here."

			[LowEstate]\|13:18 lpsmith says, "OK, so yeah, there's mostly stuff on the bookshelves, not books per se."

			[LowEstate]\|13:18 lpsmith says, "(though there's presumably some books also)"

			[LowEstate]\|13:18 lpsmith exclaims, "Ha!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:19 Rob says, "I was figuring the dude was keeping us from searching for the device, not that it's here necessarily"

			[LowEstate]\|13:19 josh_g says, "btw if anyone else hasn't seen this, it might be helpful"

			[LowEstate]\|13:19 josh_g \| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geis

			[LowEstate]\|13:20 inky says, "and of course http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/geasQuest.htm "

			[LowEstate]\|13:20 lpsmith says, "Or more relevantly: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/geasLesser.htm "

			[LowEstate]\|13:21 lpsmith says, "(or more descriptively)"

			[LowEstate]\|13:22 inky says, "geas quest! you must find .. DOG MEAT"

			[LowEstate]\|13:22 Rob says, "wow, another 12 roll"

			[LowEstate]\|13:22 Rob says, "hee"

			[LowEstate]\|13:22 Rob says, "urchins and orphans have an advantage roll for this probably"

			[LowEstate]\|13:23 Jota exclaims, "Dang, I don't know Limited Wish, Miracle or Wish!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:23 josh_g says (to Jota), "I would guess that since you've studied magic, you probably don't need a specific technique for using wands ... but I dunno"

			[LowEstate]\|13:23 Jota asks, "But on the other hand, if he's a djinn, shouldn't he be able to cast Wish as a supernatural ability?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:23 Rob says, "I wish you would get the hell out of here O mighty djinn"

			[LowEstate]\|13:24 Jota says (to josh), "Mmm. But on the other hand, it could be argued that studying magic is the thing that enables me to get that technique."

			[LowEstate]\|13:24 josh_g says, "oh sure. I was just thinking you probably don't need to spend a Fate Point on it if you want to keep it for something else"

			[LowEstate]\|13:25 Jota says, "Yeah, I am hoping that is what the GM decides as well."

			[LowEstate]\|13:25 josh_g asks, "hmm. wait, if a geas means the djinn is bound here until finishing a specific task, what if we help it complete the task (or find out what the task is)?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:26 Rob says, "someone else has been asking that already"

			[LowEstate]\|13:26 josh_g says, "yeah I'm slow"

			[LowEstate]\|13:26 Jota asks (of inky), "The question josh and I were wondering about being: does figuring out how a magic wands with runes on it require a special 'analyze magical device' technique, or is just Academics alone sufficient, given Willem's background?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:27 Jota says, "Also, we're all going to feel really guilty if it turns out that pouring water over a djinn and then throwing a naiad at it is how you kill one."

			[LowEstate]\|13:28 josh_g says, "roll Brawn: Chucking Half-Naiads"

			[LowEstate]\|13:29 lpsmith says, "Heh."

			[LowEstate]\|13:29 Rob says, "I should note that I am apprehensive about pouring water on the guy since he hasn't done anything mean to us yet, even though I'm on the task"

			[LowEstate]\|18:42 Rob says, "or it just works, I just haven't typed it yet even though you're all whirlwinded already"

			[LowEstate]\|18:42 Rob says, "oh wait, you did say it worked already"

			[LowEstate]\|18:42 Rob says, "man, my short-term retention is lousy lately"

			[LowEstate]\|18:43 lpsmith says, "Well, yes, I assumed that it worked just so that I could write a description up, but I also wrote that I stepped into the whirlwind before it started, so we can retroactively change things up if tht fails or something."

			[LowEstate]\|18:43 Rob says, "hm ok"

			[LowEstate]\|18:45 Rob says, "this is where I again feel like I'm not quite confident about how to write up what I'm doing and whether it needs a roll or not"

			[LowEstate]\|18:46 Rob says, "I'll pretend it's because Lazer is depressed and moody and therefore indecisive at crucial moments"

			[LowEstate]\|18:49 Jota says, "It looks like you rolled for it last turn and succeeded."

			[LowEstate]\|18:50 Rob asks, "yeah. so that wasn't just for finding the valve, it was turning it, too?"

			[LowEstate]\|18:51 Jota says, "Based on how inky wrote it, that seems likely."

			[LowEstate]\|18:51 lpsmith says, "Yeah, so you could turn it whenever you wanted to."

			[LowEstate]\|18:52 Jota says, "I bet that if you'd gotten a partial success, inky might have said that you found it, but it was all rusted up or something."

			[LowEstate]\|18:53 Rob says, "ok, that makes sense"

			[LowEstate]\|18:55 Jota says, "Of course, if you feel like roleplaying it, there's nothing wrong with you saying that it's all rusted, oh no, but hey you have a wrench, yay."

			[LowEstate]\|13:07 josh_g says, "it's so crazy it just ... might start a war between planes that ravages the entire world for centuries"

			[LowEstate]\|13:07 lpsmith exclaims, "Cool!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:07 inky says, "ha ha"

			[LowEstate]\|13:07 Jota says, "Or you might merge with it into a super djinnaiad level 2 elemental."

			[LowEstate]\|13:08 Jota exclaims, "With the power of quicksand!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:08 lpsmith says, "Ha ha djinnaiad"

			[LowEstate]\|13:08 josh_g says, "and then you have to speak in Dark Archon voice from Starcraft for the rest of the adventure"

			[LowEstate]\|13:08 lpsmith exclaims, "I've already been doing that!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:08 josh_g says, "yay"

			[LowEstate]\|13:10 lpsmith asks, "Should I go for it? Any other ideas?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:12 josh_g says, "hmm, just looking over the last turn again"

			[LowEstate]\|13:12 josh_g says, "my attention's been on the wand and the gem, but there's also the obvious thing of the device"

			[LowEstate]\|13:13 josh_g says, "but, I guess there's no sign that the device is directly connected to keeping the djinn there"

			[LowEstate]\|13:13 Jota says, "Whoa, I just Googled 'djinnaid', and all the results are in Japanese."

			[LowEstate]\|13:14 Jota says (to josh), "We also haven't searched the room to see if the device is actually here or not, I don't think."

			[LowEstate]\|13:14 josh_g says, "there are papers scattered on the desk, other objects from the painting are dusty and on the shelves ... but probably there's no time for studying papers"

			[LowEstate]\|13:14 lpsmith says, "If it is, it'd be the model."

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 * NewsBoy hollers, "Extra! Extra! Rob has posted message 15, about 'MUDchat recap page', to the bulletin board! Somebody pay neild his royalties!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 Jota asks (of lps), "The miniature version?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 Jota says, "Even still, it might be enough to amplify a simple magical effect."

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 Rob says, "now I have to catch up on what's actually happening right now"

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 lpsmith says, "Yeah, water damage is one thing I'm worried about, but I'm not sure I'd survive without a dose of my element to bolster me."

			[LowEstate]\|13:15 lpsmith says (to Jota), "Right."

			[LowEstate]\|13:16 Jota says, "E.g., if someone had a creature that could teleport short distances, carrying small objects with it, perhaps the model might let that creature teleport a longer distance carrying a creature with it..."

			[LowEstate]\|13:16 Jota says, "Say, to the closest desert."

			[LowEstate]\|13:16 lpsmith says, "What turn is there a description of the painting? I'm not finding it."

			[LowEstate]\|13:16 josh_g says (to Jota), "I think the device was meant to tap into existing magical nexus...es, but that this location was devoid of such"

			[LowEstate]\|13:17 josh_g says (to lpsmith), "there's stuff in the start of turn 5"

			[LowEstate]\|13:17 Jota says (to lps), "Turn 5, the bullet points at the top."

			[LowEstate]\|13:17 Rob says, "antheunis is half naiad? I forgot that, but it explains the comments yesterday and also why he's a 'slippery' urchin"

			[LowEstate]\|13:17 josh_g says, "plus some less-specific stuff in turn 4"

			[LowEstate]\|13:18 Jota says (to josh), "Oh yeah, good point, I forgot we were in the ley line dead zone."

			[LowEstate]\|13:18 Jota says (to josh), "I guess the device would probably get zero bars here."

			[LowEstate]\|13:18 lpsmith says, "OK, so yeah, there's mostly stuff on the bookshelves, not books per se."

			[LowEstate]\|13:18 lpsmith says, "(though there's presumably some books also)"

			[LowEstate]\|13:18 lpsmith exclaims, "Ha!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:19 Rob says, "I was figuring the dude was keeping us from searching for the device, not that it's here necessarily"

			[LowEstate]\|13:19 josh_g says, "btw if anyone else hasn't seen this, it might be helpful"

			[LowEstate]\|13:19 josh_g \| https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geis

			[LowEstate]\|13:20 inky says, "and of course http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/geasQuest.htm "

			[LowEstate]\|13:20 lpsmith says, "Or more relevantly: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/geasLesser.htm "

			[LowEstate]\|13:21 lpsmith says, "(or more descriptively)"

			[LowEstate]\|13:22 inky says, "geas quest! you must find .. DOG MEAT"

			[LowEstate]\|13:22 Rob says, "wow, another 12 roll"

			[LowEstate]\|13:22 Rob says, "hee"

			[LowEstate]\|13:22 Rob says, "urchins and orphans have an advantage roll for this probably"

			[LowEstate]\|13:23 Jota exclaims, "Dang, I don't know Limited Wish, Miracle or Wish!"

			[LowEstate]\|13:23 josh_g says (to Jota), "I would guess that since you've studied magic, you probably don't need a specific technique for using wands ... but I dunno"

			[LowEstate]\|13:23 Jota asks, "But on the other hand, if he's a djinn, shouldn't he be able to cast Wish as a supernatural ability?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:23 Rob says, "I wish you would get the hell out of here O mighty djinn"

			[LowEstate]\|13:24 Jota says (to josh), "Mmm. But on the other hand, it could be argued that studying magic is the thing that enables me to get that technique."

			[LowEstate]\|13:24 josh_g says, "oh sure. I was just thinking you probably don't need to spend a Fate Point on it if you want to keep it for something else"

			[LowEstate]\|13:25 Jota says, "Yeah, I am hoping that is what the GM decides as well."

			[LowEstate]\|13:25 josh_g asks, "hmm. wait, if a geas means the djinn is bound here until finishing a specific task, what if we help it complete the task (or find out what the task is)?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:26 Rob says, "someone else has been asking that already"

			[LowEstate]\|13:26 josh_g says, "yeah I'm slow"

			[LowEstate]\|13:26 Jota asks (of inky), "The question josh and I were wondering about being: does figuring out how a magic wands with runes on it require a special 'analyze magical device' technique, or is just Academics alone sufficient, given Willem's background?"

			[LowEstate]\|13:27 Jota says, "Also, we're all going to feel really guilty if it turns out that pouring water over a djinn and then throwing a naiad at it is how you kill one."

			[LowEstate]\|13:28 josh_g says, "roll Brawn: Chucking Half-Naiads"

			[LowEstate]\|13:29 lpsmith says, "Heh."

			[LowEstate]\|13:29 Rob says, "I should note that I am apprehensive about pouring water on the guy since he hasn't done anything mean to us yet, even though I'm on the task"
