			[LowEstate]/Mon 11:36 josh_g asks, "hrm. do I bother pilfering anything from Maldeghem's desk?"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:36 josh_g says, "at first the scuffed piece of brass sounded fancy, but then I realized it's probably just an actual ruler"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:36 Jota says, "Heh."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:37 Jota asks, "With runes on it?"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:37 josh_g says, "I think if nothing else I'm going to take the chalks because they sound like they might be useful"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:37 josh_g says (to Jota), "yeah I wasn't sure about that"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:37 josh_g says, "but, runes are just letters from someone else's alphabet, so I dunno"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:38 josh_g says, "also I'm a little wary of Something Important going missing right when we were visiting"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:38 josh_g says, "but I guess he hasn't yet connected our visit with Sister Marianne's anyway"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:39 Jota says, "The chalks seem to me like something you could probably buy relatively easily."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:40 Jota says, "The sphere could be for scrying, perhaps."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:40 Jota says, "The ruler actually seems most interesting to me, since reading the runes could tell us what kind of thing he's working on."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:54 josh_g says, "hrm"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:54 josh_g says, "well I guess I can snag it then"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:59 Jota says, "Of course, it will probably turn out that the runes are some kind of homing spell that will let Madelghem track wherever it goes and who has it."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 12:03 josh_g says, "ha ha"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 12:03 josh_g says, "also, shhh, don't give inky ideas"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 12:15 josh_g says, "hmm"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 12:16 josh_g asks (of Jota), "what if I used the quill and ink and some random paper and traced the runes?"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 12:17 josh_g says, "I'm still leaning towards Aernoud wanting to leave no obvious trace of having been there"

			[LowEstate]/Mon 13:25 josh_g says, "ok, I asked inky in the talk page whether a trace-and-run is plausible"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:26 josh_g says, "which, I dunno, maybe I should've just made up that it works and run with it"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:26 josh_g says, "but whatever"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:26 Jota says (to josh), "A chalk rubbing might be faster."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:26 Jota says, "Since you've got chalk."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:27 josh_g says, "I had not considered that but that is brilliant"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:27 josh_g says, "I think I will just put that in there right now"

			[LowEstate]/Mon 13:54 josh_g says, "dang it I just had an obvious brilliant idea"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:55 josh_g says, "which is, to get my bird to track whatsername the artisan"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:55 Jota says, "Ooh."

			[LowEstate]/Mon 14:24 josh_g says, "okay, stuff finally all added"

			[LowEstate]/Mon 15:16 josh_g says (to inky), "so I made up some stuff, including a new technique I'm unlocking unless you have any objections or critique"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:16 inky says, "everything I see in recap here looks swell, let me see what you actually wrote"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:17 josh_g says, "I wasn't sure how this would work timing-wise since I do want to head back to the orphanage to wrap up the turn, as long as nothing goes completely haywire with tracking the artisan"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:18 Jota says, "It's entirely possible that we'll get split up next turn anyway."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:18 josh_g says, "hrm, and I guess I could slip you the rubbing of the ruler before parting ways"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:19 Jota says (to josh), "And tell what you found, of course."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:19 Jota says, "(Er, what you saw/heard, I mean.)"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:19 josh_g says, "yeah"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:19 josh_g says, "but if this can be a "follow her, find out where she's working and generally what it looks like, then report back" then that's probably ideal"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:20 josh_g asks, "oh, same author? or just similar title?"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:20 josh_g says, "ILAC"

			[LowEstate]/Mon 16:19 josh_g says, "oh ho ho, and also yay"

			[LowEstate]/Mon 16:36 Jota says, "I wonder if this means we need to get ourselves (or possibly just Willem) de-loused, so to speak."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 16:36 josh_g says, "Willem's gots magick cooties"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 16:39 inky says (to Jota), "to be clear, this is sort of in the process of happening, so if you want to try to disrupt it or run away or something, you can do that"

			[LowEstate]/19:25 Jota sees inky's comment from yesterday.

			[LowEstate]\|19:26 Jota says, "Yeah, my 'whisper' to Boudin was more or less an attempt at 'let's get out of here before this curse thing goes any further'."

			[LowEstate]/Sun 09:08 Jota asks (of inky), "If you happen to recap: for Willem wondering if he recognized the artisan woman, should I be rolling something? Like Community or whatever?"

			[LowEstate]\|Sun 09:17 Jota says, "(If you don't happen to recap, feel free to disregard this message.)"

			[LowEstate]/18:37 Jota says, "I see that inky did not happen to recap."

			[LowEstate]\|18:41 inky recaps now

			[LowEstate]\|18:42 inky says, "I don't think anyone in the group has any particular connection with craftspeople"

			[LowEstate]\|18:43 inky says, "so I am inclined to say that nobody recognizes her unless they want to spend a fate point to say that they do"

			[LowEstate]\|18:43 Jota nods.

			[LowEstate]\|18:44 Jota says, "Then I suppose we will see if josh wants to."

			[LowEstate]\|18:45 inky asks, "also, this thing Willem is trying to notice at the moment, do you think identifying magic cast on/near you is part of his training, and if so, how good is he at it?"

			[LowEstate]\|18:46 Jota says, "That is a very good question."

			[LowEstate]\|18:47 inky says, "if you feel like it's part of the curriculum but not a particular area of focus of his, then it seems like we should do an academics roll to see how many questions you can ask about it"

			[LowEstate]\|18:47 Jota says, "As for the first part of the question, I would say that whether or not it was part of his training specifically, it seems like it would be something you would pick up on naturally just being around a lot of magic happening."

			[LowEstate]\|18:47 inky says, "yeah"

			[LowEstate]\|18:48 Jota says, "So (again, for part one) it is probably not something that Willem has probably had specific training, but rather something that he theoretically should be expected to have picked up anyway."

			[LowEstate]\|18:48 Jota says, "But whether or not he has picked it up is a different question."

			[LowEstate]\|18:48 inky says, "hmm"

			[LowEstate]\|18:49 Jota says, "But given the idea of it possibly being a thing you just sort of pick up by being around it, it seems plausible that his Community (Academics) might be a plausible measure of how well he's picked it up."

			[LowEstate]\|18:49 inky says, "hmm, that is an interesting idea"

			[LowEstate]\|18:49 Jota says, "I.e., how much exposure he's had to other students doing magic, and to different faculty members' magical styles, etc."

			[LowEstate]\|18:49 inky says, "and in some sense magical analysis is a social interactin with the other person doing the magic and seeing what cues you pick up"

			[LowEstate]\|18:50 inky says, "ok, I will buy that"

			[LowEstate]\|18:50 Jota says, "OK. I'll roll it, then."

			[LowEstate]\|18:50 inky says, "(now I have to rush but I'll be back later with an update)"

	[LowEstate]\|Thu 18:41 lpsmith says, "Here's my current brainstorming about a lucky numbers variant. Each player rolls the dice and those number (in that order) are their lucky numbers. The GM rolls the same number of dice as there are players, half of which are antagonist lucky numbers, and half of which are 'neutral' ('something odd happens') lucky numbers. When your numbers are rolled, you get to do something; maybe 'add an aspect to the scene that can be tagged once for free'? And the neutral ones are new aspects that either nobody can tag for free, but alter the dynamics somehow, or that both sides can tag once for free. These are game world changes/events that are related to your character somehow, but which the character is not actively causing to happen."

			[LowEstate]\|01:16 Rob says, "also curious what Lazer may have realized in his first dark night of the soul"

			[LowEstate]\|01:23 Rob says, "I'm going to try to figure out some story way of narrating whatever change in stats happens for Lazer, when I figure out what rebalancing happens"

			[LowEstate]\|01:23 Rob says, "and either post it to the end of turn 7 or.. no, I guess I will probably post it there"

			[LowEstate]\|01:25 inky says, "I'm going to have turn 8 up in the next hour or so, so you might have to post it there instead!"

			[LowEstate]\|01:25 Rob says, "that was the dot dot dot I didn't finish"

			[LowEstate]/19:21 Jota says, "I wonder whether Lady Bellaire's research is really what Mad Whathisface is after, or if it's something else entirely."

			[LowEstate]\|19:22 Jota says, "If it's her research, then I suspect he won't be happy with a painting and a pile of papers, and if he sees that we've opened the lab, will probably conclude that we took the full-sized device (which, AFAIK, doesn't exist) and may decide to kill us for it."

			[LowEstate]\|19:22 Jota says, "If it's something else... then I wonder what it might be, and how we might find it."

			[LowEstate]\|19:23 Jota says, "Buried treasure, maybe? I guess someone might go around trying to find places on the property that look like they might have been dug up at some point..."

			[LowEstate]\|19:23 Jota says, "I suppose that we might ask Sister Marianne."

			[LowEstate]\|19:26 Jota asks, "Was there an time frame on the initial demand?"

			[LowEstate]\|19:29 josh_g says, "also seems weird that an especially thuggish gangster would be interested in magicky research stuff, even if it does involve power"

			[LowEstate]\|19:30 josh_g asks, "like, even if he had the device, would he or anyone working for him even have the faintest clue what the heck to do with it?"

			[LowEstate]\|19:30 josh_g says, "(also, yay reminder, hadn't looked and seen turn 8 yet)"

			[LowEstate]\|19:42 lpsmith says, "Yeah, it seems like act 2 should probably focus on figuring out why he wants it."

			[LowEstate]\|19:42 Jota says, "It seems like that's what Act I focused on attempting, but I'm not sure how successful we were."

			[LowEstate]\|19:42 josh_g says, "hrm"

			[LowEstate]\|19:43 josh_g says, "I have a half-baked plot formulated"

			[LowEstate]\|19:43 lpsmith says, "Also, my trick so far has been to hit 'watch' for each turn as it appears, then set up the settings on my account to send me emails when watched pages are updated."

			[LowEstate]\|19:43 josh_g says, "but it sort of hinges on whether Boudin would be able to make an introduction to Maldejerk and his people"

			[LowEstate]\|19:43 lpsmith says (to Jota), "Yeah, we started on a variety of fronts, and then honed in on 'what's up with the orphanage'."

			[LowEstate]\|19:44 josh_g says, "vaguely thinking, have Boudin try to do some half-hearted smooth talking, while Antheunis and I (and anyone else I haven't noticed has a high Stealth) follow and find somewhere to sneak into position"

			[LowEstate]\|19:44 josh_g says, "and then eavesdrop the hell out of them afterwards"

			[LowEstate]\|19:46 lpsmith says, "That sounds plausible."

			[LowEstate]\|19:46 josh_g says, "maybe Willem could come along with Boudin, in case they need to be intimidated or tricked with some magicks"

			[LowEstate]\|19:47 josh_g says, "Lazer could follow along just to confuse everyone"

			[LowEstate]\|19:47 josh_g says, "(or either/both could hunt down some alternate path)"

			[LowEstate]\|19:49 josh_g says, "maybe I'll just c&p that to the discussion page for now"

			[LowEstate]\|01:10 inky says, "also speaking of your character in this game, we should probably normalize your skill list"

			[LowEstate]\|01:11 Rob asks, "oh ok, I can do that. what is the rationale?"

			[LowEstate]/Mon 11:36 josh_g asks, "hrm. do I bother pilfering anything from Maldeghem's desk?"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:36 josh_g says, "at first the scuffed piece of brass sounded fancy, but then I realized it's probably just an actual ruler"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:36 Jota says, "Heh."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:37 Jota asks, "With runes on it?"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:37 josh_g says, "I think if nothing else I'm going to take the chalks because they sound like they might be useful"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:37 josh_g says (to Jota), "yeah I wasn't sure about that"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:37 josh_g says, "but, runes are just letters from someone else's alphabet, so I dunno"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:38 josh_g says, "also I'm a little wary of Something Important going missing right when we were visiting"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:38 josh_g says, "but I guess he hasn't yet connected our visit with Sister Marianne's anyway"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:39 Jota says, "The chalks seem to me like something you could probably buy relatively easily."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:40 Jota says, "The sphere could be for scrying, perhaps."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:40 Jota says, "The ruler actually seems most interesting to me, since reading the runes could tell us what kind of thing he's working on."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:54 josh_g says, "hrm"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:54 josh_g says, "well I guess I can snag it then"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 11:59 Jota says, "Of course, it will probably turn out that the runes are some kind of homing spell that will let Madelghem track wherever it goes and who has it."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 12:03 josh_g says, "ha ha"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 12:03 josh_g says, "also, shhh, don't give inky ideas"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 12:15 josh_g says, "hmm"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 12:16 josh_g asks (of Jota), "what if I used the quill and ink and some random paper and traced the runes?"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 12:17 josh_g says, "I'm still leaning towards Aernoud wanting to leave no obvious trace of having been there"

			[LowEstate]/Mon 13:25 josh_g says, "ok, I asked inky in the talk page whether a trace-and-run is plausible"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:26 josh_g says, "which, I dunno, maybe I should've just made up that it works and run with it"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:26 josh_g says, "but whatever"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:26 Jota says (to josh), "A chalk rubbing might be faster."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:26 Jota says, "Since you've got chalk."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:27 josh_g says, "I had not considered that but that is brilliant"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:27 josh_g says, "I think I will just put that in there right now"

			[LowEstate]/Mon 13:54 josh_g says, "dang it I just had an obvious brilliant idea"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:55 josh_g says, "which is, to get my bird to track whatsername the artisan"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 13:55 Jota says, "Ooh."

			[LowEstate]/Mon 14:24 josh_g says, "okay, stuff finally all added"

			[LowEstate]/Mon 15:16 josh_g says (to inky), "so I made up some stuff, including a new technique I'm unlocking unless you have any objections or critique"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:16 inky says, "everything I see in recap here looks swell, let me see what you actually wrote"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:17 josh_g says, "I wasn't sure how this would work timing-wise since I do want to head back to the orphanage to wrap up the turn, as long as nothing goes completely haywire with tracking the artisan"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:18 Jota says, "It's entirely possible that we'll get split up next turn anyway."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:18 josh_g says, "hrm, and I guess I could slip you the rubbing of the ruler before parting ways"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:19 Jota says (to josh), "And tell what you found, of course."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:19 Jota says, "(Er, what you saw/heard, I mean.)"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:19 josh_g says, "yeah"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:19 josh_g says, "but if this can be a "follow her, find out where she's working and generally what it looks like, then report back" then that's probably ideal"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:20 josh_g asks, "oh, same author? or just similar title?"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 15:20 josh_g says, "ILAC"

			[LowEstate]/Mon 16:19 josh_g says, "oh ho ho, and also yay"

			[LowEstate]/Mon 16:36 Jota says, "I wonder if this means we need to get ourselves (or possibly just Willem) de-loused, so to speak."

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 16:36 josh_g says, "Willem's gots magick cooties"

			[LowEstate]\|Mon 16:39 inky says (to Jota), "to be clear, this is sort of in the process of happening, so if you want to try to disrupt it or run away or something, you can do that"

			[LowEstate]/19:25 Jota sees inky's comment from yesterday.

			[LowEstate]\|19:26 Jota says, "Yeah, my 'whisper' to Boudin was more or less an attempt at 'let's get out of here before this curse thing goes any further'."

			[LowEstate]/Sun 09:08 Jota asks (of inky), "If you happen to recap: for Willem wondering if he recognized the artisan woman, should I be rolling something? Like Community or whatever?"

			[LowEstate]\|Sun 09:17 Jota says, "(If you don't happen to recap, feel free to disregard this message.)"

			[LowEstate]/18:37 Jota says, "I see that inky did not happen to recap."

			[LowEstate]\|18:41 inky recaps now

			[LowEstate]\|18:42 inky says, "I don't think anyone in the group has any particular connection with craftspeople"

			[LowEstate]\|18:43 inky says, "so I am inclined to say that nobody recognizes her unless they want to spend a fate point to say that they do"

			[LowEstate]\|18:43 Jota nods.

			[LowEstate]\|18:44 Jota says, "Then I suppose we will see if josh wants to."

			[LowEstate]\|18:45 inky asks, "also, this thing Willem is trying to notice at the moment, do you think identifying magic cast on/near you is part of his training, and if so, how good is he at it?"

			[LowEstate]\|18:46 Jota says, "That is a very good question."

			[LowEstate]\|18:47 inky says, "if you feel like it's part of the curriculum but not a particular area of focus of his, then it seems like we should do an academics roll to see how many questions you can ask about it"

			[LowEstate]\|18:47 Jota says, "As for the first part of the question, I would say that whether or not it was part of his training specifically, it seems like it would be something you would pick up on naturally just being around a lot of magic happening."

			[LowEstate]\|18:47 inky says, "yeah"

			[LowEstate]\|18:48 Jota says, "So (again, for part one) it is probably not something that Willem has probably had specific training, but rather something that he theoretically should be expected to have picked up anyway."

			[LowEstate]\|18:48 Jota says, "But whether or not he has picked it up is a different question."

			[LowEstate]\|18:48 inky says, "hmm"

			[LowEstate]\|18:49 Jota says, "But given the idea of it possibly being a thing you just sort of pick up by being around it, it seems plausible that his Community (Academics) might be a plausible measure of how well he's picked it up."

			[LowEstate]\|18:49 inky says, "hmm, that is an interesting idea"

			[LowEstate]\|18:49 Jota says, "I.e., how much exposure he's had to other students doing magic, and to different faculty members' magical styles, etc."

			[LowEstate]\|18:49 inky says, "and in some sense magical analysis is a social interactin with the other person doing the magic and seeing what cues you pick up"

			[LowEstate]\|18:50 inky says, "ok, I will buy that"

			[LowEstate]\|18:50 Jota says, "OK. I'll roll it, then."

			[LowEstate]\|18:50 inky says, "(now I have to rush but I'll be back later with an update)"

	[LowEstate]\|Thu 18:41 lpsmith says, "Here's my current brainstorming about a lucky numbers variant. Each player rolls the dice and those number (in that order) are their lucky numbers. The GM rolls the same number of dice as there are players, half of which are antagonist lucky numbers, and half of which are 'neutral' ('something odd happens') lucky numbers. When your numbers are rolled, you get to do something; maybe 'add an aspect to the scene that can be tagged once for free'? And the neutral ones are new aspects that either nobody can tag for free, but alter the dynamics somehow, or that both sides can tag once for free. These are game world changes/events that are related to your character somehow, but which the character is not actively causing to happen."

			[LowEstate]\|13:55 lpsmith says, "I dunno, he was talking about an idea he had here, and then said 'bah' or something."

			[LowEstate]\|14:03 lpsmith says, "Well hey, we should do this or come up with a better plan."

			[LowEstate]\|14:04 Jota says, "One tricky bit is that it relies on Boudin, and I am not sure that maga is still playing."

			[LowEstate]\|14:07 Jota says, "One thing I was wondering was whether or not it would be sensible for Willem to attempt the line of experimentation that inky suggested."

			[LowEstate]\|14:07 Jota says, "On the one hand, it might be interesting to have this device. On the other hand, I am not necessarily interested in bowing out of other activities for a week or two of game time."

			[LowEstate]\|01:16 Rob says, "also curious what Lazer may have realized in his first dark night of the soul"

			[LowEstate]\|01:23 Rob says, "I'm going to try to figure out some story way of narrating whatever change in stats happens for Lazer, when I figure out what rebalancing happens"

			[LowEstate]\|01:23 Rob says, "and either post it to the end of turn 7 or.. no, I guess I will probably post it there"

			[LowEstate]\|01:25 inky says, "I'm going to have turn 8 up in the next hour or so, so you might have to post it there instead!"

			[LowEstate]\|01:25 Rob says, "that was the dot dot dot I didn't finish"

			[LowEstate]\|01:26 Rob says, "I'm chalking all this in for tomorrow's fresh-head-work schedule but I'll be looking out for Turn 8"

			[LowEstate]\|01:26 Rob says, "and real glad you were on just now so I could run all this by you"

			[LowEstate]/19:21 Jota says, "I wonder whether Lady Bellaire's research is really what Mad Whathisface is after, or if it's something else entirely."

			[LowEstate]\|19:22 Jota says, "If it's her research, then I suspect he won't be happy with a painting and a pile of papers, and if he sees that we've opened the lab, will probably conclude that we took the full-sized device (which, AFAIK, doesn't exist) and may decide to kill us for it."

			[LowEstate]\|19:22 Jota says, "If it's something else... then I wonder what it might be, and how we might find it."

			[LowEstate]\|19:23 Jota says, "Buried treasure, maybe? I guess someone might go around trying to find places on the property that look like they might have been dug up at some point..."

			[LowEstate]\|19:23 Jota says, "I suppose that we might ask Sister Marianne."

			[LowEstate]\|19:26 Jota asks, "Was there an time frame on the initial demand?"

			[LowEstate]\|19:29 josh_g says, "also seems weird that an especially thuggish gangster would be interested in magicky research stuff, even if it does involve power"

			[LowEstate]\|19:30 josh_g asks, "like, even if he had the device, would he or anyone working for him even have the faintest clue what the heck to do with it?"

			[LowEstate]\|19:30 josh_g says, "(also, yay reminder, hadn't looked and seen turn 8 yet)"

			[LowEstate]\|19:42 lpsmith says, "Yeah, it seems like act 2 should probably focus on figuring out why he wants it."

			[LowEstate]\|19:42 Jota says, "It seems like that's what Act I focused on attempting, but I'm not sure how successful we were."

			[LowEstate]\|19:42 josh_g says, "hrm"

			[LowEstate]\|19:43 josh_g says, "I have a half-baked plot formulated"

			[LowEstate]\|19:43 lpsmith says, "Also, my trick so far has been to hit 'watch' for each turn as it appears, then set up the settings on my account to send me emails when watched pages are updated."

			[LowEstate]\|19:43 josh_g says, "but it sort of hinges on whether Boudin would be able to make an introduction to Maldejerk and his people"

			[LowEstate]\|19:43 lpsmith says (to Jota), "Yeah, we started on a variety of fronts, and then honed in on 'what's up with the orphanage'."

			[LowEstate]\|19:44 josh_g says, "vaguely thinking, have Boudin try to do some half-hearted smooth talking, while Antheunis and I (and anyone else I haven't noticed has a high Stealth) follow and find somewhere to sneak into position"

			[LowEstate]\|19:44 josh_g says, "and then eavesdrop the hell out of them afterwards"

			[LowEstate]\|19:46 lpsmith says, "That sounds plausible."

			[LowEstate]\|19:46 josh_g says, "maybe Willem could come along with Boudin, in case they need to be intimidated or tricked with some magicks"

			[LowEstate]\|19:47 josh_g says, "Lazer could follow along just to confuse everyone"

			[LowEstate]\|19:47 josh_g says, "(or either/both could hunt down some alternate path)"

			[LowEstate]\|19:49 josh_g says, "maybe I'll just c&p that to the discussion page for now"

			[LowEstate]\|19:49 Jota says, "Or I could try to magic you some extra hidiness."

			[LowEstate]\|19:49 Roger says, "Or extra hideousness"

			[LowEstate]\|19:50 josh_g says, "yep"

			[LowEstate]\|19:51 josh_g says, "(hrm, is there a "code" formatting option for the wiki?)"

			[LowEstate]\|19:51 Jota says, "I think there's a Help link in the sidebar."

			[LowEstate]\|19:53 josh_g says, "meh, just added line breaks"
