RAM has connected.
RAM:A WILD RAM APPEARED!
Liatai::OLiatai:We can has audience! :O
Liatai:Welcome, Ram… just so you know, audience members here are encouraged to both ask questions and throw popcorn should they want to do either. ;3
RAM:Awesome. Shoudl I ready a bowl?
Liatai:Should you wish to, by all means. :3
RAM:Cool.
RAM:~Le Sigh~
RAM:This campaign already looks awesome.
RAM:Why must you have it on Sunday so late in the day?
TMG:x3Liatai:Blame the people who came up with the silly notion of time zones. *shakes fist at sky*
TMG:by the way, Liatai.
RAM:Sad boosh.
TMG:I can't help but notice that the only things you didn't make clickable so far are the coffins…yet those were the only things that were considered for looting by Sszeyl yesdterday. x3
TMG:er, by Meany
Liatai:Huh? Oh, they're clickable by GMs. x3
TMG:Oh. alright then. x3
Liatai:I just couldn't think of any description outside of "Yep, it's a coffin. :B"
RAM:Man, I wanna plaaaaaaay! I haven't played D&D in, like, nine months.
Liatai:Shall we go around the table, people who are here, and explain a little about who these adventurers are and what they're doing here? x3
TMG:Oh yes indeedy! :D
TMG:I've also pointed Ram to the timeline and session summaries, by the way
Dr. Hatari has connected.
RAM:Yes he has.
TMG:We can haz a doctor :o
MeanyOwl has connected.
Liatai:Oh! Then you're better prepared for the crazy than most of our audience members are. XD
Faerie:Does he wear a long scarf though?
TMG:!!!!
Liatai:Hatari! Meany! :D
Liatai:Faerie - XD
RAM:Scarf?
Liatai:Doctor Who.
Dr. Hatari:I will pretty much be spending the rest of D&D forever trying to get Telekinesis on arcane characters and pick fights near churches just to use that line.
RAM:OH! Okay, now I get it.
RAM:Knock knock.
Liatai:Who's there?
RAM:Doctor.
Liatai:Doctor Who? :P
RAM:Exactly.
TMG:Pffft. xP
MeanyOwl:http://comixed.memebase.com/2011/02/14/4-koma-comic-strip-who/
VAE:folks are here ?
VAE:good
GM:So, shall we start the wheel of character introductions going while we wait for the Ghost? :3
RAM:*Throws popcorn*
Sszeyl:Sszayl Aporro Granz. :3
Liatai:XDTMG:anyways…the game takes place in the country of Akellon, hence the name.
Gnogglebolt:My character is Gnogglebolt Sparkgear, gnome tinker from the neighboring country of Mazio
VAE:indeed
Gnogglebolt:Since Mazio has all the steamtech and Akellon doesn't Gnogglebolt's around to spread techology, and also at the same time to gatehr and reuinite the Kellonite gnomes, who were nearly wiped out in a war 125 years ago
Dr. Hatari:Hrrrrrmmmrmmmmrmmrrrrmmmm I suppose I should be trying harder to get into character.
- Dr. Hatari tries harder. :d
Sszeyl:Seriously though, Sszeyl is a Drow from the Girn Mountains, de facto exile from his nation due to differing political views.
Miron :I am Miron Steelsprocket, an archivist and a member of the Leaden Mace society, rank Inquisitor. THe rumours of me being controlled by some out-of-dimension lynx are completely false
Flint Carthan:I'm an NPC, another member of the Leaden Mace Society.
Ghostwish has connected.
Barbarus:Barbarus of Rolling Cloud, one of a set of twin brothers. Came down south to hide from his twin after said twin's wife mistook him for aforementioned twin. And also because Barbarus mistook her for a streetwalker.
Thomas Lazarus:Tom is a native of the adventurer's city of Castleton, and a templar of the church of Pelor. He has only recently been recruited into the party's wildly undirected daily shenanigans.
TMG:Aha! There he is!
Ghostwish:Boo.
Miron :You are Flint Carhan, not "NPC" Bloody hell.. he forgot his name again
Barbarus:This was supposed to be Barbarus's first solo operation, but the Gnomes couldn't stand to be seperated from their Drow overlord.
Flint Carthan:Oh, right. I do have a tendency to forget names. :B
Liatai:Ghost, we're just introducing our characters for the sake of our new audience member before we get started. :3
RAM:Yep.
VAE:did you already mention to him his elf is middle-aged?
RAM:I'd join you guys, but what with the time difference I'd have to get off after only, like, four hours or so.
TMG:ram; ah, eh heh. Well.
Liatai:I did, but I don't think I got an answer. XD Ghost, do you want to keep Tathi at 187 and make her middle-aged, or do you want to do what you mentioned at one point and make her closer to 140-something?
Ghostwish:Like it makes a difference. Middle aged in elfhood is young-adult in human terms. Old age is full adult. Older than the shit on the mountain is old.
Ghostwish:And it does nothing stat-wise. :>
Liatai:Except when it comes to age-related stats. >.>
Ghostwish:Eh?
TMG:Our game does tend to go on for 10 hours, max…which is even too much for Ghost. So he's got a clever in-character excuse for vanishing from the game. WHenever Ghost is away, is character is possessed by a random spirit. x3
TMG:and ghost, er, yeah it DOES make a difference o.o
Liatai:Middle age is a -1 to physical stats (Str, Dex, Con) and a +1 to mental stats (Int, Wis, and Cha).
RAM:Well, I guss I could join y'all if you don't mind me disappearing after four hours…
RAM:Possibly five if I don't mind a little less sleep.
Ghostwish:… just how many of these possession gems do we have floating around? :P
VAE:in other words, Tathi probably looks something like this
VAE:http://thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=41
MeanyOwl:Five hundred and seventy two?
Ghostwish:Refer to above statement, VAE.
Dr. Hatari:I would propose a party name shift to 'Extremely Unresponsive'
GM:Before that goes any farther, shall we get this show on the road? Roll call!
Ghostwish:hrm, allright, adjusting Tathi's age.
Faerie:Hm?
MeanyOwl:Yo.
TMG:you didn't know about the age stat adjustments, ghost? o_0
Ghostwish:No, I knew about em.. just didn't know they were so.. lopsided.
Ghostwish:If aging is the same as humans, elves should hit middle age in the 300-400 ranged.
Ghostwish:They do, afterall, live to be nearly 750.
TMG:actually…nope.
TMG:according to PHB, venerable is 350
TMG:waaaay off
Liatai:I was surprised, too. Maybe I've just been planning too many dragons. XD
Ghostwish:Yah.. tech.. when someone is pointing out that information is possibly wrong, don't use the possibly wrong information as a rebuttal. Puts a moron hat on your head, it does.
Ghostwish:Although may I say you look absolutely smashing in big pointy hats?
TMG:huh? o.O
TMG:the heck are you talking about?
Dr. Hatari:Bad influence from Drayco, I suspect.
TMG:I'm trying to figure out what he means by "using possibly wrong information." I'm looking right at it, it says right there, "Venerable: 350 years"
Dr. Hatari:Anywho.
GM:Anyway… Age issues aside, let's open up the book to where we left off last time… Ah, yes.
GM:The party was infiltrating the hideout of two necromancers in an abandoned underground temple of Nerull… which clearly is not as abandoned as everyone had hoped. We left off just as the party finished turning a group of zombies and skeletons into paste, and as Sszeyl made an interesting discovery in the ashes left behind by the burned skeleton…
GM:Annnnd… action! :D
Barbarus:I'm also considering stealing that gold dagger out of the corpse. :3
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt left off listening to this door he is at for any activity on the other side. Fortunately, it seems silent.
Sszeyl:"Tathi…I must apologize it seems. :|"
Tathi:Tathi rubs her forehead, and glances at Sszeyl. "For what?"
Flint Carthan:Flint moves over to the other door and does the same; Listen check ??1d20+6 = 18 + 6 = 24??
Sszeyl:"Lloth is not as dead as I thought."
Flint Carthan:"All quiet on this side, too."
Dr. Hatari:Oh.. hadn't even spotted that one. Score NPC guide!
- Sszeyl holds up the silver holy…er unholy symbol he's found. :|
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, hearing that both sides are empty, still speaks in a relatively hushed voice.
Tathi:Tathi wrinkles her nose at it. "Well, no surprise. Stamping out evil entirely has never been an exact art."
Gnogglebolt:"Alright, after all that we just went through, if our quarries don't already know of our presence, they will very soon."
Liatai:Careful, Sszeyl, it's probably still pretty hot, having recently been in the middle of an alchemist's fire conflagration.
Gnogglebolt:"We must move with haste and silence."
Miron :So… Gnogglebolt.. i think you have told you are skilled with machines. Perhaps you can have a look at opening the lock
Sszeyl:Bah, a little searing pain ain't nothing new. :|
- Thomas Lazarus gives the amulet a curious glance, and puts two and two together.. but the significance of their discussion nevertheless goes over his head.
- Miron looks at the amulet as well… Is it anything i know about? ??1d20+11 = 19 + 11 = 30?? Knowledge (religion)
Barbarus:"You're sure I shoul leave this..beautiful little knife here in the corpse?" :^
- Thomas Lazarus raises a brow.
Liatai:Why yes, it is! It's the holy… er, unholy symbol of Lolth, Queen of the Demonweb Pits, goddess of the drow.
Gnogglebolt:"YES." Gnogglebolt hisses to Barbarus.
Thomas Lazarus:"Well, I suppose it's not as though you could desecrate anything."
Tathi:"I would highly recommend not touching anything related to necromancers until after both I and the cleric have had a look at it."
Miron :Look, Barbarus.. leave it there now. Once we are done with them , we will take care of such items
Gnogglebolt:"Anyway, we must keep moving, now."
Barbarus:"I call dibs."
Miron :I don't have time to look for curses in random trinkets
Gnogglebolt:"Let's keep going. Which door?"
Tathi:Tathi nods towards the western door. "That one."
Miron :The one over there (points hand northwest)
- Dr. Hatari found the pew pew pew pew. :3
Gnogglebolt:"Alright…" Gnogglebolt puts his morningstar at his hip and pulls out his grenade.
Gnogglebolt:"Just in case, everyone except whoever's opening the door stand back."
Gnogglebolt:"-Way- back."
- Thomas Lazarus turns away and swings his blade towards the ground hard, but halts part-way to let some of the excess zombie bits fling off.
- Flint Carthan moves out of the way of the templar who's been opening the doors so far.
Elros:Elros steps back, but draws his swords, just in case.
Thomas Lazarus:"I'll take care of it." He whispers.
Gnogglebolt:"And who's opening the door? Barbarus? you've done that so far."
Miron :Miron takes a step back, but still waits besides the other gnome
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at Flint and Miron.
Gnogglebolt:"WAY back."
- Barbarus ker-opens the door. :U
- Thomas Lazarus doesn't seem to object.
Gnogglebolt:And Gnogglebolt had a ready action for a five-foot step, and begin to activate and toss the grenade -if- he sees anything living….
Gnogglebolt:Seeing nothing, he does not activate the grande. "Okay, clear, let's move on."
Tathi:"I.. wonder. Do we have a scout in this party?" Tathi says, doing her best to be quiet. ??1d20+2 = 6 + 2 = 8?? bluff check.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt holds up a hand. "There's a corner down theer!"
Miron :Not much in here ….
TMG:danman
Liatai:Whoa, wait a sec, clag-or-rama.
TMG:you're going too fast
Ghostwish:let him.
Liatai:*lag-o-rama
Ghostwish:He'll be the first to die.
Ghostwish:DIBS ON HIS STUFF
VAE:XDLiatai:Folks, please wait.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt edges to the corner—
Ghostwish:waiting!
Ghostwish:and srsly, answer tathi, cuz she's got a pocket scout.
Dr. Hatari:Nonsense, it's getting donated to the church! That means BACK OFF MINE.
Liatai:MapTool is having a hard time keeping up with you all for some reason. XD
VAE:ahahahha
MeanyOwl:Fae, you alive?
VAE:I see the pelorites had some common training with catholic church
Dr. Hatari:See party name suggestion. >:3
Faerie:YoMeanyOwl:Yo! :3
Ghostwish:Yo yo!
Faerie:Sorry, doing a bit of homework now, so I don't have to complain so much later.
Ghostwish:*does a cat's cradle*
Faerie:>.>
Liatai:All right, it's evened out a fair bit… Carry on, but cautiously. And Listen checks all around. :3
Tathi:??1d20+1+2 = 15 + 1 + 2 = 18?? listen!
Thomas Lazarus:??1d20+2 = 1 + 2 = 3??
Sszeyl:??1d20+5 = 9 + 5 = 14?? Listen check!
Dr. Hatari:Critical nope!
Gnogglebolt:Listen: ??1d20+2 = 4 + 2 = 6??
TMG:hatari :[
Ghostwish is disconnected.
TMG:Gnogglebolt was just going to peek around the corner…oh well
Miron :??1d20+4 = 18 + 4 = 22?? Listen!
TMG:and oh bugger
Elros:listen ??1d20+6 = 3 + 6 = 9??
Barbarus:??1d20+5 = 17 + 5 = 22??
Dr. Hatari:I'm fully aware that the gnomes are trying to tank today. :}
- Elros is deaf, almost. :U
TMG:trying to tank? o.O
TMG:No, Gnogglebolt isn't o.o
TMG:he's the impromptu scout
Ghostwish has connected.
- Faerie sticks Gnogglebolt in a PzKfw IV
Faerie:o.o
TMG:whispering…
Ghostwish:Well. That was weird.
Dr. Hatari:Just joshing with expressions, TMG-unit.
RAM:Oshitpanzer.
Liatai:Hold on, folks, whispering results.
Tathi:Tathi motions for everyone to be quiet. "Someone's up ahead! Down the hallway and on the other side of this wall!" She whispers to them. ??1d20+2 = 8 + 2 = 10?? bluff check.
Ghostwish:that was weird. No message, no crash. Just poof, and maptools was gone.
Liatai:??1d20+6 = 9 + 6 = 15?? Almost forgot your NPC buddy. x3
Ghostwish:know who I've been forgetting? Kor. XD
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks back to Tathi, and nods quickly, pulling out his grenade and holding it up so everyone can see, without saying anything.
Thomas Lazarus:Tom glances to Tathi before squinting down the tunnel. Alas, Human eyes in a party of nocturnal and underground monstrous folk.
Kor:I represent that comment!
Gnogglebolt:He points to himself, the grenade, then around the corner, then points to the group and does a slow "come here" wave
Gnogglebolt:And he starts heading down the hallway
Liatai:Roll initiative, Gnogglebolt.
Miron :*whispers* I can hear someone speaking there
Liatai:And hold on, hold on, lag. XD
Gnogglebolt:but stop sna dlooks at clanking Thomas, and makes a "stop" gesture rapidly—oh boy.
Liatai:Tom, Tathi, and Gnogglebolt, roll initiative!
Thomas Lazarus:??1d20 = 18??
Gnogglebolt:Can I say that priming the grenade was already a readied action, because that's exactly what he was going to do?
Gnogglebolt:(which I did note?)
Gnogglebolt:Init: ??1d20+1 = 20 + 1 = 21??
TMG:Woo :o
Emaciated Zombie:You can, but it won't do much good, because you can't see anything living down this hallway. ??1d20-1 = 3 - 1 = 2??
TMG:…Ah. Right. Buggerit.
Dr. Hatari:You're gonna have a hard time convincing the templar to let you forge ahead alone. x3
Bugbear Skeleton:??1d20+5 = 16 + 5 = 21??
Liatai:Tathi?
Ghostwish:Sorry!
Ghostwish:Possible incoming audience member. :>
Tathi:??1d20+3 = 5 + 3 = 8?? init!
Barbarus: (( What about us? ))
Faerie:Can I roll init too, and come help?
Barbarus: (( Surprise round? ))
Ghostwish:Surprise round.
Faerie:Ah.
Liatai:Surprise round.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Liatai:Starting… now! :D Go Gnogglebolt!
Gnogglebolt:Since it's a urprise round, Gnogglebolt only has time to pocket his grenade as a move-action. End turn.
Gnogglebolt:*surprise
TMG:(oh! And I just remembered :O)
RAM:I CAST FLARE!
TMG:(EXP from last session, or are you going to give that out later?)
Bugbear Skeleton:A skeleton that might look somewhat familiar to those who have been with the party since the beginning, but with yellowed teeth instead of red, charges forward.
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Liatai:EXP will be given out later. :3 Go for it, templar!
Thomas Lazarus:Tom knits his brow and lunges to intercept. Precisely why he wasn't willing to let scouts get too far ahead!
Tathi has received initiative.
- Thomas Lazarus raises his shield and winds his blade once.
Dr. Hatari:It has probably been well over 3 minutes since the last fight, so removing buffs. :U
Ghostwish:Audience incoming!
Liatai:And elf-time, too! :D
Railock has connected.
TMG:hmm…how long does Miron's Dark Knowledge last?
Ghostwish:… and this is why I don't bother terribly much with tokens.. *goes to his character sheet*
Liatai:Oh, who is this? :o New audience!
Ghostwish:Ah! Hiya! Folks, do be nice. This is my IRL DM, and I'd rather not my rogue die an even more horrible death than the one he's slated for currently.
Liatai::ODr. Hatari:lulzy
Dr. Hatari:Hello there.
Faerie:x3MeanyOwl:Yo.
Ghostwish:This is his first time on maptools, so lemme get my actions down while he gets oriented. ;)
Ghostwish:Ah, he's still loading
VAE:lasts for the encounter
VAE:and currently i can do 4 a day
Liatai:Is that move Tathi's action for this surprise round?
Tathi:Tathi, on the hand, marches forward and stretches her palm out, sending a blast of fire at the skeleton! (not sure if the zombie is in range too) ??3d4 = 10?? fire damage unless you succeed at a 14 reflex save for half!
VAE:also, hi there Ghost's DM
Tathi:ohGhostwish:wait
Ghostwish:surpruise round
Ghostwish:forgot.
VAE:Make sure to murder his rogue painfully
Ghostwish:Skip the spell part
Liatai:Yeah, surprise round. x3
Ghostwish:done!
TMG:ah, so since this is a new encounter (even with similar creatures), the dark knowledge has worn off?
Emaciated Zombie:Well, that's just fine for me, because I'm shambling your way, wood elf.
VAE:i think so.. it has to do with finding weaknesses specific to the monsters you are fighting …
Liatai:And now it's time for everyone else to roll initiative! :D
VAE:Well, check Heroes of Horror for yerself if you wish
Flint Carthan:??1d20+3 = 2 + 3 = 5?? initiative!
Miron :??1d20 = 3??
Barbarus:??1d20+2 = 6 + 2 = 8?? Dex check!
Flint Carthan:Flint apparently didn't get much sleep last night, anticipating fighting zombies. He's been rolling really poorly initiative-wise. XD
RAM:iNITIATIVE fail.
Sszeyl:??1d20+1 = 2 + 1 = 3?? Dex check!
RAM:More Initiative FAIL.
Elros:Initiative ??1d20+3 = 19 + 3 = 22??
Liatai:Oh, you weren't around for true initiative fail. Last session, there were five natural ones in the initiative counter at one point. XD
RAM:XDRAM:Nice.
Elros has received initiative.
Liatai:Go go half-elven ranger! :D
Elros:Elros moves up to get into position, but he started out fairly far back. End turn.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
TMG:well, crap.
TMG:Gnogglebolt can move in, but he can't do it without getting into everyone -else's- way… -and- provoking an AoO
TMG:hmm…I wonder if Tathi is already trying to retreat?
Faerie:I could say Elros moved up another 5
Liatai:You can delay Gnogglebolt's action until after Tathi's, if you want.
TMG:Oh!
Faerie:I only used 50 of 60 feet max movement.
TMG:Of course! :D
Faerie:>.>
TMG:I delay!
Dr. Hatari:Could Gnogglebolt not move to the square 10ft north and 5ft west while drawing a weapon and swing?
Dr. Hatari:That wouldn't provoke.
TMG:Thanks for reminding me of that, Liatai xD
TMG:wait…
TMG:ohhhh
TMG:… >.> He doesn't like how big that bugbear looks :TMG:>:MeanyOwl:Doo dee doo. :o
Liatai:XDTMG:But yeah. Delaying, so carry on
TMG:(special initiative actions come in hand!)
Dr. Hatari:Also, curse that tricky weight allowance or I would've brought a basha'. >:O
TMG:*handy
Bugbear Skeleton:And it's soon to get bigger, as it runs up and takes a swing at the templar with a morningstar! ??1d20+3 = 19 + 3 = 22??
Dr. Hatari:Clock'd!
TMG:yeowch o.o
Dr. Hatari:Although that (barely) breaks my streak of being crit'd for the first round of every combat.
Bugbear Skeleton:??1d8+2 = 7 + 2 = 9?? damage as it makes contact with Thomas' skull.
Liatai:XD XD XD
TMG:whew, not a crit?
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
TMG:cuz I was about to say. x3
TMG:"Thomas is wearing Armor of Crit Magnets!"
Railock is disconnected.
Liatai:Note to self; Thomas needs armor with the fortification enchantment. XD
TMG:o.o?
Ghostwish:ah, we were trying to play civ v. Looks like his computer can't handle both
TMG::/Liatai:Anyway, now's Thomas' chance to reciprocate! :D
- Thomas Lazarus reels and winces terribly under the blow, but looks back to the creature with a terrible glare. But.. no. Too many, too close. He winds his blade and goes for the zombie. ??1d20+7 = 2 + 7 = 9?? ??1d10+3 = 8 + 3 = 11??
Dr. Hatari:Atleast it doesn't go flying out of his hand. x3
TMG:Baw. :(
Liatai:Unfortunately, the mighty swing goes a little too far too the left and ends up slicing the air between the skeleton and zombie.
Tathi has received initiative.
VAE:where be meh token?
VAE:it disappeared
Tathi:"PLEASE don't make me play combat medic again!" Tathi groans, first doing her best to keep from being wallopped. ??1d20+5 = 18 + 5 = 23?? concentration! And then doing what her silly player tried to do earlier! And now she can cook both. :> ??3d4 = 9?? burning hands damage, reflex save dc14 for half!
Tathi:Concentration succeeded. :>
TMG:…erm…
TMG:no five-foot step back? o.o
Tathi:With all that done, she takes a five foot step back
TMG:I was counting on that D:VAE:now it's back!
TMG:oh.
Tathi:And no, Tech, she does not want to cook the cleric too.
TMG:ohhh, burning hands.
TMG:Right.
Liatai:Here you go, sorry, VAE. I removed Flint's sunrod to try and reduce lag. XD
Emaciated Zombie:??1d20-1 = 2 - 1 = 1?? reflex save!
Bugbear Skeleton:??1d20+2 = 11 + 2 = 13?? reflex save!
TMG:wewt
Thomas Lazarus:Poor Tom seems to be developing legendary bad luck, overall. I can just picture that halfling back at the boot dropping to her knees and roaring at the sky, "TEEEEMMMPLAAAAAR"
Liatai:FWOOSH! You now have two charred, but still animated undead.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Dr. Hatari:I suppose even gamblers playing the odds still lose. ^^;
Gnogglebolt:Now with an opening. Gnogglebolt slides right into the fray and swings his morningstar at the zombie before him (no more bonuses are in effect, right?) ??1d20+2 = 14 + 2 = 16??
Liatai:Bonuses or not, that's a hit! :D
Gnogglebolt:Damage! ??1d6-1 = 2 - 1 = 1??
Liatai:Unfortunately, the zombie barely notices the small shred of flesh you tore off it with your morningstar.
Barbarus has received initiative.
Barbarus:The Catfolk, being the sensible cat that he is, lets the tanks deal with the undead, while calmly going forward.
Barbarus:"Howdy."
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 4 + 3 = 7?? Fwip! Longbow arrow coming at you for ??1d8 = 6?? damage!
Barbarus:Was intended for the bugbear. :P
Liatai:Fwip! Clatter. The arrow goes high.
Dr. Hatari:Nice. Zombie Nation just came up in my playlist.
Flint Carthan:The witch-hunter hurries forward, pulling another flask of holy water from his pockets.
Sszeyl has received initiative.
TMG:hmm, does Barbarus have the Precise Shot feat?
Liatai:Nope, so that attack should have had a -4 penalty… Would have still been a miss, though.
Liatai:Go for it, Sszeyl!
Dr. Hatari:It was mentioned last week. Just a macro.
Faerie is disconnected.
Dr. Hatari:What are those little red bits I see in player paths sometimes?
Dr. Hatari:Waypoints or somesuch?
TMG:hmm? Oh!
MeanyOwl:Double move, end of turn.
TMG:that's when someone hits spacebar while moving
Faerie has connected.
TMG:allows you to move around corners
Dr. Hatari:I see, good to know.
Faerie:Sorry, net spaz.
TMG:whispering, alex…
Railock has connected.
TMG:oh, and welcome back, audience
MeanyOwl:yoMiron has received initiative.
VAE:err.. got a match, anyone?
Faerie:Heh. It's a much more reasonable whisper this time.
Liatai:Oh, drat. XD He can't see, can he?
Railock:hello
Liatai:There you go, temporary candle so you can see. :3
VAE:indeed
Liatai:And hello again, Railock!
VAE:actually wair
Ghostwish:Hey hey Rai! ^^
VAE:why there aren't size 1 light sources?
VAE:two moves, turn end
TMG:I was actually considering that myself
TMG:never came up in my game, though
VAE:because you can always see yourself
Dr. Hatari:Cell phone low-bat light - 1
VAE:no matter how dark it is you do have knowledge of your body position
VAE:and with that i gonna make noodles
VAE:and tea. Lots of tea
Emaciated Zombie:The zombie had raised a battered club to try to swing at the fire-throwing elf… but then the elf stepped out of the way! The gnome will have to do. ??1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11?? for ??1d6+1 = 3 + 1 = 4?? damage!
Emaciated Zombie:Undeath clearly does nothing for your aim.
MeanyOwl:Not even close.
Elros has received initiative.
Dr. Hatari:… Wow.
- Dr. Hatari scribbles 'undead sniper' in character idea notes.
Liatai:XD!
Liatai:Go, Elros!
Elros:Elros goes for the bugbear skeleton. Simple strategy is best sometimes. Right hand ??1d20+2 = 12 + 2 = 14?? and left hand ??1d20+1 = 1 + 1 = 2??
Liatai:Unfortunately, both swings go wide. Trying to stay out of the way of the templar's claymore and the skeleton's morningstar while trying to land a hit is harder than it seems.
Bugbear Skeleton:The skeleton continues to strike at the templar with single-minded fury. ??1d20+3 = 14 + 3 = 17??
Bugbear Skeleton:This time, the morningstar bounces off Thomas' shield.
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Thomas Lazarus:Atleast this time he is on his toes. Tom keeps his guard up before the skeleton and makes another vertical slash at the zombie. ??1d20+7 = 20 + 7 = 27?? ??1d10+3 = 3 + 3 = 6??
Liatai:Confirm that crit! :D
Ghostwish:CR-CR-CR-CRIT!
Thomas Lazarus:… But it's a zombie. x3
Ghostwish:…. durnit.
Liatai:Oh, right, zombies are immune to crits, aren't they.
Thomas Lazarus:??1d20+7 = 1 + 7 = 8?? shenanigans roll!
Ghostwish:crit fail? XD
Dr. Hatari:Lady luck is a fickle mistress.
Emaciated Zombie:SLASH! That slice nearly bifurcated the zombie… nearly. It's still barely hanging together and upright.
Tathi has received initiative.
Railock:least it wasnt a real critfail
Tathi:And Tathi is not intent on giving those monstrosities another chance at striking her fellow teammates. She sends a pair of streaking rays of light slamming into them! ??1d4+1 = 4 + 1 = 5?? for the skeleton, and ??1d4+1 = 2 + 1 = 3?? for the zombie!
Bugbear Skeleton:A good section of the skeleton's ribs fall apart into dust, and the zombie completely comes undone.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
VAE:back
TMG:whup
MeanyOwl:FLEE YOU FOOL! THE BALROG IS UPON US!
Gnogglebolt:Seeing one target down, Gnogglebolt changes targets and aim's for the skeleton. Attack! ??1d20+2 = 6 + 2 = 8??
Gnogglebolt:And a miss. End turn.
Gnogglebolt:no, wait!
Gnogglebolt:Five foot step over the now-downed zombie. End turn.
Liatai:Standing on the zombie remains, are you? Ew, squishy.
Barbarus has received initiative.
Gnogglebolt:Now Sszeyl can move in without provoking AoO, or move in for flanking
Thomas Lazarus:Tom looks marginally dismayed by the chunk of protesting zombie-head still clamped around his blade, but tries to divert his focus to the bugbear skeleton. He mutters to no one in particular, "Remind me to sharpen this."
Liatai:Go, Barbie, go!
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 19 + 3 = 22?? Fwip! Longbow arrow coming at you for ??1d8 = 6?? damage!
Barbarus:Cricitcal confirming!
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 12 + 3 = 15??
TMG:you forgot the -4 into-melee penalty again. Did that still hit?
TMG:And undead. Immune to crits. :x
Bugbear Skeleton:That's a solid hit straight to the eyesocket! You hear a satisfying crack, and the fletching of your arrow can be seen sticking out of the hole in the skeleton's skull while the point sticks out the back It doesn't look happy.
MeanyOwl::PDr. Hatari:Ehn, I'm sure he's counting the situational modifiers on his macros. Liatai too.
Flint Carthan:A feeling that's probably not made any happier by the fact that there's now a glass bottle flying toward the creature's face! ??1d20+5-4 = 14 + 5 - 4 = 15??
TMG:…Hmm. WOnder of ranged touch attacks fall under the same penalty…
Dr. Hatari:I've also always wondered that for the purpose of spells. Dunno.
Flint Carthan:??2d4 = 5?? damage to the skeleton… and Elros, Thomas, and Gnogglebolt get a little wet as holy water splashes out of the remains of the bottle. SMASH!
Gnogglebolt:This is a test. ??1d20 = 1??
Gnogglebolt:This is a test. ??1d20+2 = 17 + 2 = 19??
Liatai:TEST FAIL. :B
- Thomas Lazarus pointedly sticks his sword in the puddle. Take that, zombie face. >:I
Liatai:Combat over!
Gnogglebolt:This is a test. ??1d20+2+mod = 1 + 2 + 5 = 8??
Gnogglebolt:This is a test. ??1d20+2+mod = 19 + 2 + -4 = 17??
TMG:Okey-dokey. meany
Sszeyl:"Excuse me. :|"
TMG:Modify your macro as scuh:MeanyOwl:Why?
Liatai:The flesh of the zombie face hisses and bubbles a little bit as it contacts the holy water.
TMG:where you have the "(1d20+3)"
Thomas Lazarus:"That smarts.." He draws old faithful and taps his head a few times. ??2d8+2 = 9 + 2 = 11??
TMG:make it this: (1d20+3+mod)
MeanyOwl:….
TMG:whenever you use it, it will as for a value for "mod"
TMG:*ask
TMG:you're welcome. :>
MeanyOwl:I have not said thank you yet. :/
MeanyOwl:Because that sounds like more work than a macro is supposed to be.
Tathi:"Well, ladies, gentlemen, and drow." She says, winking at Sszeyl, "I am doing to one final spell.. and it's an up close, emergency situation spell. Or a sneak attack spell, if you want to let Kor wander ahead. If we continue to press on, I'll be supporting with my shortbow." She says, which she brings to the ready.
Gnogglebolt:"Alright, good work everyone." Gnogglebolt whisperes.
Sszeyl:"Oi."
Sszeyl:"Someone go back to that room with the altar."
Gnogglebolt:"Everyone's here and accounted for? Yes? alright, let's keep moving….wait, what?"
TMG:who's holding light sources?
- Thomas Lazarus looks to the Drow. "..I understand your tactic, friend. But was that door not locked?"
Sszeyl:"There's a door ahead, and I think it doubles back into the room where the unexplored door leads."
Ghostwish:Tathi put her torch away to use her shortbow.
Sszeyl:"Barbarus can unlock a door."
Sszeyl:"And Gnogglebolt can take the hinges off this one."
Dr. Hatari:Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme, what are you doing on this track seriously
Ghostwish:Whammo - Success Pool
Gnogglebolt:"Ah, pincer tactic. Good idea."
Sszeyl:"…What's a pincer? »"
Liatai:Listen checks, all!
Barbarus:??1d20+5 = 18 + 5 = 23?? Listen.
Gnogglebolt:"Wait, -was- the door back in the other room not locked?" Gnogglebolt whispers.
Gnogglebolt:??1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11??
Sszeyl:??1d20+5 = 4 + 5 = 9?? Listen check!
Tathi:"I do have one last spell to use, if we let Kor sneak in." ??1d20+1+2 = 8 + 1 + 2 = 11?? listen!
Thomas Lazarus:??1d20+2 = 19 + 2 = 21??
Kor:??1d20+3 = 17 + 3 = 20?? listen!
Miron :??1d20+4 = 4 + 4 = 8?? Lissn up!
- Thomas Lazarus slides the wand back into his kit.
- Thomas Lazarus furrows his brow.
Barbarus:"They're moving. :O"
Barbarus:"East."
Thomas Lazarus:"..They probably hear us. It would be hard not to."
Barbarus:"Then let's hurry up and pinch them. :D"
Gnogglebolt:"Shoot! No more time, Barbarus, come with me north! Everyone else, go back!"
Tathi:"Kor says the same." Tathi says, trying to be quiet. ??1d20+2 = 17 + 2 = 19?? bluff check.
Gnogglebolt:For what it's worth, Gnogglebolt's still speaking in a hushed voice.
- Barbarus isn't.
- Thomas Lazarus quickly casts a spell before everyone splits. Bless!
- Sszeyl bursts into flame.
Thomas Lazarus:3 minutes, +1 to hit and +1 to fear saves.
TMG:wait
Ghostwish:I think tech should have to order us all pizza every time he says wait.
TMG:can someone hand off a spare torche to Gnogglebolt? >.>
Faerie:Doing math in MS Word gets a bit annoying.
- Flint Carthan tips his hat to the templar and follows Sszeyl.
Faerie:Just saying.
Faerie:>.>
TMG:….or that…wait
Dr. Hatari:Thomas has a light spell on himself.
TMG:why is everyone going north now? o.o
Ghostwish:Following the party.
TMG:Gnogglebolt said he and Barb would go forward, eveyone else go back o.O
Dr. Hatari:Barbarus needs to go south.
Dr. Hatari:The southern door is locked.
TMG:so's this one
Dr. Hatari:I see..
TMG:but Gnogglebolt can't unlock a door and prime his grenade at the same time
Dr. Hatari:>.>
MeanyOwl:….
Dr. Hatari:Suggestions?
TMG:so, is everyone else going south?
MeanyOwl:Show someone else how to prime the grenade.
TMG:like Gnogglebolt said?
MeanyOwl::|MeanyOwl:?!Flint Carthan:"…" Flint looks at the rest of the party going north, then fishes in a pocket and takes out a lockpick or two.
MeanyOwl:?!!??!
Dr. Hatari:wat
TMG:okay….now, dodes Barbarus have a torch, or did someone hand one off to Gnogglebolt?
MeanyOwl:The whole of the dark areas just unfogged up.
Dr. Hatari:… Yeah, that's probably my bad for moving the token in a straight line.
MeanyOwl:I. See. Everything. :O
Dr. Hatari:But we're all adults here. Carry on.
Ghostwish:*giggles like a little girl*
- Dr. Hatari rubs hands together eagerly.
Faerie:Dr. Hitari: I dunno, that's a big assumption.
TMG:well? Does barbarus have a light source?
Ghostwish:*snickers at the pew's description*
Faerie:For instance, I'm a child at heart.
Faerie:o3o
- Barbarus stops back to snage a morning star from the corpses. And no, he doesn't.
Ghostwish:you seriously don't have any torches, Tech?
TMG:Okay then. Before the party split, Gnogglebolt asked for a spare torch.
- Barbarus is too poor to afford a torch. :[
TMG:Or fine, can I just say I bought a few? :/
VAE:was someone banging at the pew or why is Ghost laughing so much
TMG:before we entered this place?
Ghostwish:.. I think Liatai is lagged?
Liatai:Yes, it's fine.
Ghostwish:Oh there she is. ^^
MeanyOwl:I think Gnogglebolt's becoming less and less of a tactially sound planner. :3
TMG:Okay, deducting 5 cp from coins.
Dr. Hatari:I'm salivating over the next turn of events. >:3
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt lights a torch, and drops it on the ground, while waving for Barbarus to unlock the door quickly.
- Flint Carthan listens at the door… ??1d20+6 = 16 + 6 = 22??
Gnogglebolt:he also -prepares- to prime his grenade, but does not do so yet.
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 3 + 3 = 6?? Open lock.
Flint Carthan:… and holds up four fingers.
Barbarus:"No dice. :/"
Barbarus:"Lemme try again…"
Thomas Lazarus:Tom gives the door a flat look and shakes his head slightly.
- Thomas Lazarus whispers, "I suppose I'll just try bashing it down when they're ready."
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14?? Open lock.
Faerie:…where'd everyone go? >.>
Flint Carthan:"I can try to unlock it," Flint whispers back, "but I'm a little rusty."
Faerie:Thanks.
Faerie:Sorry, trying to distract myself now so I don't have to later.
Miron :Not really… the idea is that we create a commotion and Gnogglebolt throws in the grenade while they are looking at us
Thomas Lazarus:"If you think it'd work better, by all means." He assesses the group briefly before looking to Sszeyl.
Liatai:This is a bad time to distract yourself. ^^;
Sszeyl:"Gnogglebolt's plans seem increasingly…erratic."
Thomas Lazarus:"As a plan B, you and I should try to work together, I think."
Miron :One who does nothing breaks nothing, drow
TMG:barbarus?
TMG:another open lock check?
Faerie:It's always a bad time. >.>
Flint Carthan:??1d20+4 = 16 + 4 = 20?? Open Lock check…
Dr. Hatari:!Flint Carthan:Click!
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 9 + 3 = 12?? Open lock.
Faerie:On the bright side, this is the last of these homework assignments I'll have, so this won't happen after today.
Liatai:Faerie - Yes, but this is a really bad time. ^^;; Boss battle coming up.
VAE:heh , faerie.. same with me
VAE:last week i have work after the game
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23?? Open lock. :/
Liatai:Listen checks, Gnogglebolt and Barbarus.
Barbarus:??1d20+5 = 14 + 5 = 19??
Gnogglebolt:Listen: ??1d20+2 = 16 + 2 = 18??
Dr. Hatari:Critical synchronized art thief unlock!
Barbarus:Rage makes my dice roll higher.
Liatai:You don't hear people in this next room… you hear bones.
Barbarus:"…Retreat? :D"
RAM:Gah, where'd everything go?!
Ghostwish:http://pictureisunrelated.memebase.com/2011/03/12/wtf-photos-videos-revenge-of-the-cat/ I'll just leave this here.
- Flint Carthan nods and steps back, away from the door, and takes out another vial of holy water.
Gnogglebolt:"Gnogglebolt hears the sound of bones, too. "Bah. Let's just go as planned, the others have the other door covered. He puts away his grenade and pulls out his morningstar.
- Barbarus opens door. :3
Miron :Miron converts an Cure Moderate Wounds spell and grabs it into his hand
RAM:Oh, there you guys are.
- Thomas Lazarus rests a hand on the door handle and pauses. He opens the door wide and raises his shield.
VAE:err
VAE:he had it prepared
- VAE facepaws
VAE:i was thinking whether to convert an inflict or prepare a cure… and brainfarted
Gnogglebolt:Oh yes, Gnogglebolt also picked up the torche he left on thr gound, and is holding it and the morningstar at the same time.
Railock is disconnected.
Ghostwish:we are SO screwed. XD
VAE:whose turn it is ?
Liatai:No one's, yet.
Barbarus:"…Run. 8|"
Barbarus:"Away. Now."
Baxter:As soon as Thomas opens the door, two voices yell out in unison; "KILL THEM!"
RAM:Meh, you guys can take them.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sees something -very- large, and is about to panic, but then he realizes: "Wait! It's too big to get through the door!"
Elros:Hm. People shouting that don't usually mean good things.
Owlbear Skeleton:??1d20+6 = 10 + 6 = 16??
Barbarus:"It's big enough to break down the wall. :|"
Liatai:Hold it, all!
Liatai:Let me get initiative down. xD
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt adjusts his position…then realizes that the room this giant skeleton is in is -not- part of the room the otheres were going at in the south.
Dr. Hatari:Oh, my. I hope that isn't the same one I've summoned before. x3
Baxter:??1d20+2 = 17 + 2 = 19??
TMG:…yes. yes it is. xD
Baum:??1d20 = 1??
Baum:FAIL. XD
Dr. Hatari:Yeah you should Scooby Doo run.
Robust Skeleton:??1d20+5 = 20 + 5 = 25?? ??1d20-1 = 4 - 1 = 3??
Faerie:So, should we roll initative?
Dr. Hatari:AMAZING.
Miron :??1d20+0 = 15 + 0 = 15??
Liatai:Nope, we're using the same initiative as last time.
VAE:oh, allright then
VAE:GARR.. i used up one of my high rolls
Gnogglebolt:After Gnogglebolt sees the rest of the room the giant skeleton is in, he says; "Oh! You're right! This isn't the same room! Let's help the others, this can wait!"
Robust Skeleton:The skeleton moves with surprising speed and swings a scimitar at the templar! ??1d20+1 = 4 + 1 = 5?? for ??1d6+1 = 3 + 1 = 4?? damage!
Elros has received initiative.
Dr. Hatari:Okay, I thought their init was an attack roll and I got crit'd again. x3
Baum:"Hah! You see? You see? I told you—"
Faerie:Let's see, could Elros squeeze through the door?
Baxter:"Skeletons are faster, I know, but zombies are —"
VAE:also..might you put the audience off my token?
Faerie:Or is Tom blocking it?
RAM:Bah, it keeps disappearing on me. >.
Baum:"Tougher, I know, but we'll see which one comes out on top!"
Faerie:>.>
Liatai:Yes, he can squeeze through the door, but he will bring AoOs on himself.
Robust Skeleton:??1d20+1 = 4 + 1 = 5?? AoO!
Dr. Hatari:Don't forget, that shield spell is still active and offers +1 AC.
Ghastly Zombie:??1d20+2 = 6 + 2 = 8?? AoO!
Dr. Hatari:..And, since we're facing mages, +1 to saves. :U
Ghastly Zombie:Not like it's needed. Both creatures' attacks go wide.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Elros has received initiative.
Liatai:Oh, wait, sorry. Elros, are you done? ^^;
Faerie:Nope. And I get an attack, yeah?
Liatai:Yep!
Gnogglebolt:After changing his mind and saying such to Barbarus, Gnogglebolt starts running as fast as his short legs can take him.
Gnogglebolt:"Got…to be…a better…way…"
Gnogglebolt:"…rocket…boots!"
Gnogglebolt:end turn.
Dr. Hatari:x3Liatai:Elros, make your attack! :3
Dr. Hatari:If only you had X-TREME Explorer levels!
Elros:Elros squeezes through the door, blocking attacks from both the skeleton and zombie, then takes another step because really, who'd want to be in the middle of that? He takes a swing with his sword! ??1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11??
Liatai:That's a hit! :D
Elros:Sword, for ??1d8 = 2??
TMG:oh, don't forget +1 from the Bless
Liatai:And +2 from flanking. :3
Faerie:I wasn't sure if the corner affected flanking. ^^;
Baxter:One of the two spellcasters begins intoning an arcane phrase…
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Elros:Elros manages to scratch the Zombie. Which is better than nothing.
VAE:did i drop?
Liatai:Nope!
Ghostwish:nope
VAE:good
VAE:also.. shouldn't hthomas have taken AoO's
Ghostwish:one AoO a round is standard
Thomas Lazarus:Right then. Tom marches straight into the room, ignoring the off-guard undead, and gives Baxter a rather pointedly venemous look. He winds his blade back and lets loose a heavy strike from the pommel. ??1d20+8+2-4 = 8 + 8 + 2 - 4 = 14?? ??1d10+3 = 10 + 3 = 13?? (Nonlethal strike on the spellcasting.)
Ghostwish:There is a specific feat for otherwise.
Baum:Why yes, he should have, from this spellcaster holding a scythe… who has noticed Thomas' holy symbol and looks absolutely furious. ??1d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14??
Dr. Hatari:Ah. Forgot to increase the damage from the use of his strength score.
Dr. Hatari:Er, strength … domain.
Dr. Hatari:??13+3 = 13 + 3 = 16??
TMG:whoa, 13 damage? :O
TMG:did that actually hit?
Baxter:Your strike deflects off an invisible disc of force.
Ghostwish:DURNIT
Dr. Hatari:Drat.
- Thomas Lazarus backpedals a step and parries the scythe-blade. He seems a bit surprised by the strength behind it.
Faerie:Oh yeah, the hit I got on the Zombie should've been +str, yeah?
Faerie:>.>
TMG:…yeah. :/
Owlbear Skeleton:The skeleton rushes forward and tries to claw at Barbarus through the doorway - ??1d20+6-4 = 4 + 6 - 4 = 6?? for cover!
Faerie:derp
Dr. Hatari:Heh.
Liatai:How much should have been added? ^^;
Faerie:2 more
Faerie:4 total
Faerie:herp derp. :U
Liatai:Fixed!
Tathi has received initiative.
Tathi:"Well. This is.. lovely." Tathi says. She takes aim with her shortbow, and lets an arrow fly at Baxter! ??1d20+1 = 12 + 1 = 13?? for ??1d6 = 1?? damage! (bless, firing into melee)
Baxter:Your arrow deflects off the same disc of force as he continues chanting.
Ghostwish:end turn!
Barbarus has received initiative.
Dr. Hatari:I suppose the only AoO opportunity was at the beginning of the spell, eh?
Liatai:I assume he's taking a step back? x3 I can bring him into the light.
MeanyOwl:Sure.
MeanyOwl:End turn.
Liatai:Just 30 feet?
MeanyOwl:Just 30 feet.
TMG:o.o?
TMG:alright…
- Flint Carthan draws a crossbow and snaps off a shot at the spellcaster - ??1d20+6-4 = 5 + 6 - 4 = 7??!
Sszeyl has received initiative.
Sszeyl:??1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10?? Staff crack! For ??1d6+3 = 6 + 3 = 9?? nonlethal damage.
Sszeyl:Miss~
Sszeyl:End turn.
Liatai:Whichever undead that was to, that was a miss. ^^;
Miron has received initiative.
Liatai:Go for it, Miron!
Miron :So, here are you, servants of darkness! You shall feel the migtht of the Cudgel! Vel Karsh!
VAE:now… can i walk through Sszeyl?
Liatai:Yep.
TMG:you just can't end your move on him
VAE:i'll move to here, anyways
VAE:so that i still get flankign.. and now it's time to use the spell in my hand
VAE:XD* Dr. Hatari is on the phone, btw. :O
Baum:"Cuthbert and Pelor," one of them mutters, bringing his scythe back to a ready position. "It's our lucky day, Baxter."
Baxter:"Remember the deal, if my zombies get them, they're mine!"
Miron :Miron attempts to slap the zombie with the healing spell in his hand ??1d20+4 = 19 + 4 = 23?? touch attack
Liatai:A solid hit! :D
Miron :??2d8+3 = 12 + 3 = 15?? of positive energy damage to the undead's face
Baum:"Oh, I'm not worried," the scythe-wielder says as the zombie explodes in a flash of white light.
VAE:end turn
Baum:He faces the templar… but instead of using his scythe, reaches for the templar with an open hand. ??1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15??
Baum:Does that meet his touch AC?
Dr. Hatari:Verily.
Baum:Hope I roll low. ??3d6 = 9??
Baum:A stab of icy-cold energy shoots through you… but then dissipates. Harmlessly? What was that?
VAE:is he casting defensively?
Baum:The scythe-wielder snarls angrily. And it's not a spell, so no.
VAE:Oh right
VAE:a spell-like
Robust Skeleton:??1d20+1 = 15 + 1 = 16?? attack to the drow!
MeanyOwl:Hit.
MeanyOwl:Roll damage.
Robust Skeleton:??1d6+1 = 2 + 1 = 3??
Robust Skeleton:Scimitar slice!
Elros has received initiative.
Thomas Lazarus:("Drat! I shouldn't have spent spell-theory lectures doodling! =3=")
Liatai:Knowledge (religion) would be suitable here, Thomas. :3
Thomas Lazarus:K:R ??1d20+4 = 20 + 4 = 24??
Liatai:Well, it's a good thing you paid attention in theology!
Liatai:That was one of the most feared abilities of clerics devoted to gods of death… they can kill with a touch. It seems you've withstood it, though!
Faerie:Whups, my tunr.
VAE:they are such high level?
Dr. Hatari:Thought so.
Liatai:Domain power, VAE.
VAE:but… didn't that involve a saving throw by target?
VAE:yeah… but i thought they get it higher up
- Thomas Lazarus suddenly seems to catch on. He raises a brow.
- VAE has forgot a lot too ,it appears
Liatai:Nope. Check the Death domain. :3
Thomas Lazarus:"So I see; you're not apostate souls at all."
- Faerie hmms
Faerie:We're not trying to capture these two alive, are we?
Miron :A heretic is tenfold worse from an apostate, brother.
Dr. Hatari:Not necessarily.
Dr. Hatari:Thomas just tried because he thought he could pull it off. He was wrong.
MeanyOwl:Sszeyl is.
MeanyOwl:Well, at least the one who controls the skeletons.
Robust Skeleton:AoO! ??1d20+1 = 8 + 1 = 9??
VAE:oh, yeah
Robust Skeleton:Whiff.
VAE:they do have death touch
Dr. Hatari:It's worth pointing out that a combo of nonlethal and lethal still drops them, so don't feel any big inhibitions either way.
VAE:indeed
VAE:they shall know their own medicine soon XD
Elros:Elros decides to try to finish off the skeleton anyway, so we can focus our attacks after. He darts over, then attacks with his right! ??1d20+2+2+1 = 19 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 24??
Elros:crit confirm ??1d20 = 18??
TMG:Undead. x_x
Ghostwish:Can't crit undead. :Liatai:Confirmed! … or it would be, if it wasn't undead.
Ghostwish::{Faerie:…oh.
MeanyOwl:He's attacking the bookshelf.
Faerie:F me then.
Ghostwish:(which pathfinder fixes)
Liatai:Constructs are immune to crits, too, Meany. :P
Elros:However, that should still do damage. ??1d8+2 = 2 + 2 = 4??
Dr. Hatari:Just imagine that you crit it anyways, and it's all like, "Derp :B" while bisected and still swinging its one good arm.
Robust Skeleton:A few chips of bone fly off, and the skeleton swivels its head 180 degrees to look at you.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Liatai:You now have a skeleton with its head on backwards. :B
Elros:Elros finds that moderately disturbing. :B
VAE:(also, drawing an electric guitar playing Miron for the joke)
Gnogglebolt:Stubby gnomelegs go. "Can I…make…rocke…boots….in…popint-five…seconds?"
Gnogglebolt:*point-fice
Gnogglebolt:end turn
MeanyOwl:Point-fice?
MeanyOwl::BGnogglebolt:FIVE. x_x
Dr. Hatari:^^TMG:…Wait a second.
TMG:Back at the end of last session, I listened at the door to the room B&B are in. I took 20 on it. o.o
TMG:how did I not hear them? D:Dr. Hatari:Maybe they were reading. =3=
MeanyOwl:Or up in the ladder room.
RAM:OhRAM:MyRAM:God
MeanyOwl:Yes?
MeanyOwl:You called?
RAM:THEY HAVE LEVELS IN NINJA!
Dr. Hatari:Best villains ever.
Baxter:The staff-wielding one ends his spellcasting by pointing at the spot behind Elros — "Kill!" He then attempts to whack the templar over the head with his staff — ??1d20+1 = 10 + 1 = 11??
Liatai:Actually, it's something far simpler. They were in the room to the west of the library. ^^;;
TMG:Oh. Darn. x_x
RAM:Perhaps you should have prayed to Fox-Sama before attempting your listen check, Techy?
- Thomas Lazarus parries it handily with an annoyed look.
Kobold Zombie:The zombie, meanwhile, jabs at Elros with a spear. ??1d20 = 9??
Kobold Zombie:And misses.
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Thomas Lazarus:"That's enough." He grasps his amulet tightly in his shield-hand as a radiant flash sweeps through the room. (Turning check! Part A: ??1d20+1 = 16 + 1 = 17?? Part B: ??2d6+4 = 5 + 4 = 9??)
Thomas Lazarus:Up to level 5 undead may be turned - 9 HD worth of them. 1 HD undead are destroyed outright.
TMG:Aw. If only Thomas was with the owlbear skeleton ;~;
Robust Skeleton:The skeleton crumbles, and the zombie turns to stare at Thomas.
Owlbear Skeleton:I'm stuck. ;~;
Tathi has received initiative.
Tathi:Tathi locks a level gaze on Baxter. She takes aim with her shortbow, and lets an arrow fly! ??1d20+1 = 8 + 1 = 9?? for ??1d6 = 5?? damage! (bless, firing into melee)
Ghostwish:end turn
Barbarus has received initiative.
Thomas Lazarus:The templar holds his ground between the spellcasters. "You're outnumbered and overpowered. Surrender, and you'll see the light of atleast one more dawn. Abandon this heresy here and now!"
Elros:Elros dodges the poke easily. "Oh lovely, another one."
Liatai:What will you do, Barbie? I'll move you if you want.
TMG:does Barb need another GM move towards the light?
MeanyOwl:Move random direction.
MeanyOwl::ULiatai:Okay, if you say so… ??1d8 = 6??
MeanyOwl:Maybe if he dies, Gnogglebolt will learn a lesson.
TMG:…barb -can- see the light from where Gnogglebolt is…
TMG:HEY!
MeanyOwl::PTMG:Barb suggested running!
Dr. Hatari:-10 troll resistance.
TMG:Gnogglebolt wound up agreeing!
Liatai:Barbarus runs into a door — this must be the wall on the other side of the room. Do you follow the wall toward the light?
TMG:Not Gnogglebollt's fault if Barb doesn't take his own advice.
MeanyOwl:Barb can't see in the dark.
TMG:there IS light to the south
Liatai:He can see the light at the end of the hallway, though.
TMG:that area is lit
TMG:it's just not represented on your token.
MeanyOwl:Ah.
MeanyOwl:Fine, whatever.
TMG:and besides, -you- were the one who said "Oh, I'm fine with 30 move, and not a double-move…"
MeanyOwl:Yes, because double moving in this situation ain't smart. :P
TMG:…huh>?
TMG:the heck are you talking about?
MeanyOwl:He doesn't know how fast Gnoggle is when running.
Flint Carthan:Flint steps closer and fires another crossbow bolt at the spellcasters - ??1d20+6-4 = 4 + 6 - 4 = 6??
MeanyOwl:Due to his size, Barbie assumed he was slow.
Sszeyl has received initiative.
Sszeyl:??1d20+3 = 10 + 3 = 13?? Drow punch!
Sszeyl:Oh.
Liatai:To what?
Sszeyl:Didn't notice the red ex. :P
Sszeyl:??1d20+3 = 14 + 3 = 17?? Drow punch!
Liatai:That works a little better. x3 Roll damage!
Sszeyl:??1d6+3 = 5 + 3 = 8??
Baum:You manage to clock the scythe-wielding one!
Miron has received initiative.
Miron :Miron converts one of the 2nd level slots to Inflict moderate wounds and casts it, holding the charge. Then he advances
VAE:end turn
Baum:The scythe-wielder reels under the blow from the drow, then clutches a silver emblem hanging around his neck and begins to chant…
Baum:??1d20+4 = 3 + 4 = 7?? Concentration check!
Baum:AoOs!
Sszeyl:??1d20+3 = 19 + 3 = 22?? Drow punch!
Thomas Lazarus:>:3 ??1d20+8 = 12 + 8 = 20?? ??1d10+3 = 5 + 3 = 8??
Sszeyl:??1d6+3 = 6 + 3 = 9??
Miron :??1d20+2 = 7 + 2 = 9??
Dr. Hatari:Out of curiosity, are these non-lethal or lethal flavor Sszeyl punches?
Sszeyl:Non.
Baum:The scythe-wielder staggers a bit, then spits out the last of the chant contemptuously… ??1d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14?? Concentration!
- Dr. Hatari accidentally associates lethal with ranch and non-lethal with sweet & sour. o_o
Sszeyl:Moar AoO?
TMG:no, that was to keep from flubbing the spell under the damage
TMG:which I'm fairly certain he just failed
Baum:But nothing happens. Except for there being one very haggard, barely-standing spellcaster, still holding onto the emblem tightly.
Elros has received initiative.
RAM:FINISH HIM!
Elros:Elros leaves the zombie for now, to finish off the spellcaster. Right hand ??1d20+2+1 = 9 + 2 + 1 = 12??
Liatai:Clang!
Liatai:Robes go clang? O.o
Faerie:Good clang or bad clang?
Liatai:Well, you didn't do any damage, but it feels like you hit some armor under the spellcaster's robes.
Elros:Huh. Not as soft a target as I thought.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
- Dr. Hatari winces expectantly at the grenade. x3
Gnogglebolt:"Fuel..ratio….five-point…three…reinforced…frame….throttled…exhaust…" Gnogglebolt keeps running on his little stub legs, pulling out his morningstar in one hand and his grenade in the other, prepared to drop either depending on wha he sees.
Gnogglebolt:And he sees FINALLY! A living person!…..but he's already surrounded by the others. And it's just one person.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt groans. End turn.
MeanyOwl is disconnected.
TMG:Crudlies D:Meany has connected.
TMG:ah, there we go
Meany::PBaxter:Well, two, but one of them is barely standing, and the other one is starting to make a gesture… ??1d20+5 = 1 + 5 = 6?? Concentration!
Meany:Natural one.
Meany:GANG RAPE TIEM.
Thomas Lazarus:"Oh, no you don't - " Thomas drops his blade and lunges out at the spellcaster's arm with his own hand. Touch attack! ??1d20+8 = 10 + 8 = 18??
Techubi has connected.
Baxter:He barely gets a word out before Thomas and Elros notice. That's a hit, Thomas!
Thomas Lazarus:Which actually provokes an AoO from Baxter! Bafflingly!
Baxter:??1d20+3 = 17 + 3 = 20?? staff crack!
Faerie:…wait, who gets AoO from that?
Dr. Hatari:The templar is actually thwarted!
VAE:what is the blue rimming?
VAE:what does it mean/
Baxter:??1d6 = 5?? damage on that AoO.
Meany:KOBOLD ZOMBEH
Meany:NOT ON INIT.
Meany::UTMG:wait, I don't think you can take an AoO if you're already performing an action that provoked an AoO in the first place o.O
- Thomas Lazarus gets a face full of staff for his trouble. "—Gah!"
Liatai:Staggered.
TMG:It doesn't work like that D:* Dr. Hatari shrugs.
Kobold Zombie:The zombie's not on initiative because it acts on Baxter's turn… which it does, fleeing.
Dr. Hatari:Is that so? I really don't know. I just know I provoke an AoO for attempting to grab. Which I attempted on his AoO.
TMG:Baxter shouldn't be able to do that, he can't take an AoO while casting a spell that provoked an AoO on -him-
- Faerie also wonders if Elros gets an AoO, since someone mentioned him.
Liatai:Yep, Elros does!
TMG:because -you- are reacting to -his- lapse in defence, not the other way around.
Elros:Elros sees an opening, and sttempts to get in a harder hit this time. Right-handed attack ??1d20+3 = 10 + 3 = 13??
RAM:I'm pretty sure Techy's right on this one…
Dr. Hatari:It makes sense, yes. But it's Lia's call on interpretation. :|
Liatai:A shame. It was a fun mental image. "*whack* Don't bother me!"
Dr. Hatari:Quite!
Faerie:And another miss?
Liatai:Elros' attack misses, yep.
Elros:ELros has the power down, but needs to work on aim.
Dr. Hatari:Was Thomas not hit, then, or shall it just be that way for the future?
Liatai:But in this case, I do think Tech's right. Roll that Grapple check, Thomas!
Thomas Lazarus:Grapple check! ??1d20+5 = 20 + 5 = 25??
TMG:HEADLOCK.
Meany:SUMO TOMMY
Baxter:Do I even need to roll? XD ??1d20+3 = 1 + 3 = 4??
VAE:the sketch
Baxter:UTTER AND COMPLETE FAIL.
Thomas Lazarus:Tom wrenches Baxter's arm away from his spell and proceeds to put him in the Tathi-lock. ??1d3+3 = 3 + 3 = 6?? nonlethal damage!
Liatai:XD XD XD
VAE:http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dm510/mironoo.jpg
TMG:Now Thomas gets free unarmed strike damage on him
- Thomas Lazarus grunts and growls a few words through his teeth, "You're just.. making it harder on yourselves!"
Dr. Hatari:You should use that for your token. x3
VAE:heh… i don't think sunglasses were invented yet
Baxter:Perhaps it's just complete and utter stubbornness… but the staff-wielder chokes out some more arcane words, trying to finish the spell — ??1d20+5 = 20 + 5 = 25??
Dr. Hatari:!TMG:HO-boy!
Meany:Watch out!
Meany:Cloudkill. :U
TMG:WWAIT!
TMG:waaaaait!
TMG:Cast a Spell: You can attempt to cast a spell while grappling or even while pinned (see below), provided its casting time is no more than 1 standard action, it has no somatic component, and you have in hand any material components or focuses you might need.
TMG:-has no somatic component-. Does this spell have one?
Baxter:Son of a brisket. It does, but it consists of touching the target.
TMG:Well, he didn't have enough time to complete the gestures, I believe.
Dr. Hatari:I was honestly going to just hand-wave it since the sudden nat 20 was cinematic. But yes, that exact point is the one and only reason Tom even tries to grapple spell casters.
Dr. Hatari:Ah well~
TMG:…Well.
TMG:Just this once, if we all like cinematic… :3
Baxter:I was already denied my one cinematic moment, I'm not letting another one go by! >:O
Dr. Hatari::PVAE:let him have it
VAE:otherwise it'd suck for a boss
Meany:This is a boss fight?
Meany:HAHAHAHAHAHA
VAE:sortta
- Dr. Hatari prepares for crit susceptability. :|
Meany:We still got an Owlbear to deal with.
VAE:it seems Liatai has the same problem i had in my game
Meany:HD 5.
VAE:being worried about not killing anyone too much
TMG:Ghost. :[
TMG:this is why you need to sit in more than one channel.
Dr. Hatari:What owlbear. *whistle*
TMG:Draken just popped into mine, said "Oh, no ghost", and left. :B
Baxter:??1d6 = 4?? damage as negative energy crackles along the spellcaster's fingers and into the templar as he attempts to headlock the shorter robed spellcaster… and roll a DC 14 Fort save, Thomas.
Thomas Lazarus:??1d20+4 = 5 + 4 = 9??
VAE:isn't cloudkill areabased?
Baxter:You also take 1 point of Strength damage.
VAE:i remember i had it in between Vladim's spells
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Liatai:It's not Cloudkill, that was a joke! XD
VAE:oh…
- Thomas Lazarus recoils with a wince, but doesn't loose his grip. ??1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11??
Dr. Hatari:Opposed check!
Meany:Watch it be ANUDDA nat twenty.
Dr. Hatari:Maybe!
Baxter:??1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18??
Techubi:XDTMG:whatever Thomas was trying to do, he failed, but Baxter hasn't escaped yet.
Baxter:That's one slippery spellcaster!
Thomas Lazarus:Tom attempts to give Baxter a righteous strike - which is to say, a punch in that uppity mouth of his - but his wriggling is too fierce!
Dr. Hatari:Done.
Owlbear Skeleton:I'm still stuck. >:Tathi has received initiative.
Meany:CARPET BOMBING TIME.
Meany::DVAE:fine strategy, too… you should have put down the staggered one
Ghostwish:hrm.. can I shoot a grappled opponent? :>
RAM:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH7s2BYbUAo
Tathi:Maybe this time she'll actually hit something. She takes aim with her shortbow, and lets an arrow fly! ??1d20+1 = 14 + 1 = 15?? for ??1d6 = 2?? damage! (bless, firing into melee)
Liatai:Same as firing into melee, I believe… oh, and he's denied his dex bonus! :O
TMG:The [penalty is either the same as firing into melee or -worse-
Dr. Hatari:I figured the other 6 party members could probably deal with a 0 HP enemy. ^^'
Ghostwish:end turn
Liatai:So that's a hit! :D
Barbarus has received initiative.
Meany:Run run run run~
Dr. Hatari:That is a point we've gone over. There are no outrageous penalties for hitting a grappled enemy beyond normal firing into melee business. Those are for bull-rushing.
Dr. Hatari:..And er, by we I mean a past group. ^^
TMG:oh? Ah, alright. ANd yeah, I'm not seeing anything specific—
TMG:Ah.
Meany:End turn.
Meany::DTMG:Well, yeah, I just checked, and it doesn't specifically say anything about firing into grapple.
Dr. Hatari:You actually risk hitting your allies and all kinds of stuff during bull-rush.
- Flint Carthan aims for the death-cleric — ??1d20+6-4 = 18 + 6 - 4 = 20??
Flint Carthan:??1d8 = 1??, though it doesn't matter much — that cleric is DOWN.
Sszeyl has received initiative.
VAE:Any penalties for a touch attack into a grapple?
Liatai:That, I don't know. Let me check.
RAM:*pokes the dead cleric with a pointy stick*
VAE:he's just fainted
TMG:actually, nope. You get -bonuses-
Sszeyl:??1d20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23?? Drow punch!
TMG:the target is denied dex and dodge
RAM:…
TMG:which means, if they already aren't wearing armor, their AC is a flat 10 :D
Sszeyl:??1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10?? Crit confirm.
RAM:*pokes the FAINTED cleric with a pointy stick*
Liatai:Drow punch to who, the grappled guy?
Sszeyl:Aww. ??1d6+3 = 6 + 3 = 9??
Sszeyl:Si.
Sszeyl:This is the lethal stuff.
Baxter:CLOCK!
Ghostwish:brb!
Barbarus:"Huge skeleton back there! >:O"
Baxter:While trying to wriggle out of Thomas' grasp, the spellcaster moved right into your punch. He goes limp.
RAM:Now, remember, when looting the bodies, be sure to check EVERYWHERE.
Liatai:Combat over!
Sszeyl has received initiative.
Sszeyl has received initiative.
VAE:lovely folks… now i am stuck with a negative energy charge on me making me useless at attacking undead
RAM:I've found diamonds in Goblin rectums before by doing full cavity searches.
Sszeyl:Coup de gras on this thing.
- Thomas Lazarus keeps the necromancer's head pinned for a moment. He flicks his eyes to the cowering undead.
Dr. Hatari:Does it even still exist, as a summon?
Kobold Zombie:Good point. Poof!
VAE:Coup de graCE meany, for bastet's sake
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebol trots into the room, shoulder sagging and head low.
Sszeyl: (( VAE, shush. ))
VAE:no!
VAE:the lynx shall not be silenced
Gnogglebolt:To no one in particular, he holds up his grenade, giving wibble-eyes only seen on a child who's favorite toy was just broken.
Dr. Hatari:He was.. phonetically correct. Forget the French and their functionless silent characters, I say. :3
Sszeyl:"Another undead?"
Elros:"Ah, excellent, you're back."
Liatai:Awwww. Poor Gnoggle.
Elros:Elros blinks, looking at the grenade.
Thomas Lazarus:"Ah..? Ah! The other room!"
Gnogglebolt:"I didn't get to use it." >:Thomas Lazarus:"Are you two alright?"
VAE:Dr. Hatari… english isn't a phonetic language either. Mine is though
Gnogglebolt:He then clears his head with a shake. "oh, right."
Gnogglebolt:"BIG skeleton in the other room. Fortunately, too big to get through the door."
Tathi:".. Gnogglebolt?"
Barbarus:"It is, however, big enough to break down the damn wall!"
Miron :Too big to get through the door?
Barbarus:>:O
Tathi:"How long do you think it would take that thing to turn down a wall?"
Owlbear Skeleton:BANG.
Thomas Lazarus:"Relax, fr—"
Thomas Lazarus:"Oh."
Gnogglebolt:"Well, the walls are pretty solid stone, so I estimate…right about now."
Miron :Thomas.. can you try to damage him at rang….
Barbarus:"I. TOLD. YOU. SO."
Gnogglebolt:"Lure it aboveground!
Tathi:"How wonderful."
Gnogglebolt:"Let's go!"
Miron :wait!
Owlbear Skeleton:??1d20+5 = 5 + 5 = 10?? as a loud banging noise sounds from thenorthern wall.
Ghostwish:is combat over?
Miron :we need to take those two!
Miron :They need to be interrogated
Thomas Lazarus:"—I've got them, just go!"
- Sszeyl grabs this one.
Miron :Who can grab them?
TMG:wait
RAM:And now, Random Access Memory must go bed. Gotta be up early for PT.
Sszeyl:"This one is mine."
TMG:how much do they weigh?
Techubi:DAMNIT
TMG:Plus equipment?
Sszeyl:"Touch him, and I'll break your arm. :|"
Owlbear Skeleton:??1d20+5 = 11 + 5 = 16?? Strength check!
TMG:Seeya, ram!
Techubi:The audience token got lost in the darkness.
Ghostwish:is combat over?
Owlbear Skeleton:Fortunately, there just seems to be loud noises from the other room, no cracks forming in the wall.
Liatai:Yes.
VAE:YES
Tathi:"Why are we luring it outside?" Tathi asks as she follows.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt goes to wait by the door.
Techubi:Thanks.
RAM:Gnight, y'all. Maybe I'll join in next time, and just come up with something for when I go to bed.
Liatai:One sec, I'll give you weight figures in a bit…
Liatai:See ya, Ram! :D
Gnogglebolt:"So we can get it into the light of day where the whole guard can take it down."
Elros:Elros wonders if he ought to tie up the two spellcasters.
Meany:TTFN
TMG:(and nevermind)
Ghostwish:RAM - Possessed wood elves are awesome. :P
TMG:(about the eight)
Liatai:One second, folks.
TMG:*weight
Dr. Hatari:Getting a little lost. :o
Tathi:"Gnogglebolt, don't you have any qualms about luring this thing within range at which it can strike at hapless guards?"
Liatai:Me too. XD So slow down!
RAM:Yeah, but I don't play elves. I usually play shifters and various other animalistic melee monsters.
Ghostwish:Heterosexual.
Liatai:??2d10 = 15?? ??2d4 = 7??
RAM:And now, BED! FOR REALZ! NIGHT!
Liatai:??7*15 = 7 * 15 = 105??
Techubi:So, where's the Gnoll and Warforged? Or, were they killed, or, is this even the same campaign?
Meany:Night.
RAM is disconnected.
Ghostwish:Switched out for Tathi.
TMG:techcubi; they left.
VAE:they left
VAE:like Trofim
Ghostwish:ehhh.. trofim kind of got ejected and jailed. XP
VAE:he got clobbered and jailed you mean?
Ghostwish:For all we know, Barshal and Derish are off having this epic wild adventure and are already level 7 and stuff.
VAE:you don't quite eject people with a mace
Ghostwish:I'm not foreshadowing. Not at all.
Owlbear Skeleton:BAM. ??1d20+5 = 13 + 5 = 18??
Meany:Banhammer.
Meany::DVAE:Also, he's probably higher level too… getting changed into yuan-ti and all that
Owlbear Skeleton:Lots of loud noise, and a crack is starting to form in the wall…
Tathi:"It is obviously tearing up that wall. I say we attacked it while it cannot reach us!"
Gnogglebolt:"Well fine, if you don't want it topside, then we can at least do a fighting retreat at our own liesure."
Tathi:"Come on! Let's beat the crap out of it while it is pinned!:* Sszeyl deposits the necromonger on the pew.
Flint Carthan:"Gotta say I agree with Tathi!" The human follows the elf.
Dr. Hatari:Ah. Well, if action is resuming..
Tathi:Tathi waits entirely too patiently for someone with a light.
Ghostwish:combat's been over. :P
Miron :Not like i can help you now… i am still holding the negative energy charge - it'd just heal him
Gnogglebolt:"I'll keep an eye on these necromancers, then!"
Dr. Hatari:I didn't mean that. :P
Miron :I can do that , brother - it is enough to touch any to pacify him
- Sszeyl is pulling Barbarus along. :o
Gnogglebolt:"Well, there's nothing I can do to help against that monster of a skeleton back there.
Sszeyl:"You are -not- stealing anything until this thing is dead. >:|"
Barbarus:"Awww."
Owlbear Skeleton:BAM. ??1d20+5 = 13 + 5 = 18??
Thomas Lazarus:??1d8+1 = 7 + 1 = 8??
Elros:Elros offers to go with Tathi, if she needs someone with a light.
- Barbarus blows on signal whistle!
TMG:(and as an aside, I really am disappointed I never got to use my grenade…. :( )
Barbarus:Fweeee! Fweeee!
Liatai:I'm sorryyyy ^^;;
Tathi:"Mr. Carthan, if you would shine that light through the door please!"
Liatai:You just ent to the wrong door!
Dr. Hatari:You should make a few more impements and be prepared for the future.
VAE:oh well… here is still Fred to take care of
VAE:*there
TMG:is there -no one- left in this dungeon? What about the second room we haven't chedked yet?
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 1 + 3 = 4?? Open lock!
Barbarus:Aww. :[
Ghostwish:wait, which door is it coming from?
Thomas Lazarus:Tom hoists up Baxter and hauls him off into the other room, unceremoniously throwing him at the pew that his brother rests on.
TMG:oh yes, liatai]'
Liatai:The door's already open. XD
TMG:please indicate on the map where the sounds are coming from
Ghostwish:Tathi cannot see. :Ghostwish::{TMG:I'm not clear on that
Liatai:Hang on, hang on, lag!
TMG:Oh o.o
VAE:wait.. didn't baxter got moved too?
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at the cracks forming on the wall. "I…think we should vacate this particular room.
Tathi:"Mr. Carthan, you're only illuminating a few feet beyond the door way.. if could stand in front of behind me, please?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt grabs Baxter.
Dr. Hatari:'Twas the intent.
Liatai:Yes, but I'm lagging!
Liatai:Hang on a burger-flipping second!
Sszeyl:Faerie Fire!
Meany:Sorry. D:Sszeyl has received initiative.
Liatai:OK, NOW it's Sszeyl's turn to act.
Sszeyl:Faerie Fire!
Sszeyl:Highlighting the Bear.
Ghostwish:Owl.
Dr. Hatari:… wat.
Ghostwish:Owlbear. :P
Dr. Hatari:Oh.
Miron has received initiative.
Elros has received initiative.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Elros:Elros moves out of the room, if Gnogglebolt thinks it would be a good idea.
Owlbear Skeleton:The skeleton turns toward Sszeyl… then shambles forward, trying to claw at him through the door. ??1d20+6-4 = 1 + 6 - 4 = 3??
Tathi has received initiative.
Tathi:"MUCH better, Mr. Carthan!" She says. She takes aim with her shortbow, and lets an arrow fly! ??1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20?? for ??1d6 = 3?? damage! (bless, firing into melee)
Owlbear Skeleton:The arrow hits, but doesn't faze the creature.
Barbarus has received initiative.
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 18 + 3 = 21?? Open lock!
Gnogglebolt:"Thomas? Miron? You seem most well-equipped to take down the abomination…"
Liatai:Er… why? The door's not locked.
Barbarus: (( Oh. :^ ))
- Thomas Lazarus suddenly becomes aware of something.
Barbarus: (( Just making sure. :P ))
Liatai:And why are you going that way, anyway?
Barbarus: (( Cat. Curious. ))
Thomas Lazarus:With his sword still in the other room and sounds of combat already coming forth, he looks to Gnogglebolt. "Borrow your morningstar?"
Barbarus:"Whoopsie. :U"
Starving Wolf Skeleton:*hhhhhrrrrrrrr*
Miron :I told you… i am still holding a spell that would have been harmful to those mages., but if i touch the undead he'll heal
Thomas Lazarus:"Blades are next to worthless against bones."
Starving Wolf Skeleton:??1d20+7 = 16 + 7 = 23?? initiative!
Gnogglebolt:"Erm…" It is rather small to Thomas. "…sure? I don't think it will work well in your hands, though…"
Gnogglebolt:He hands it over.
Thomas Lazarus:He snatches it. :U
Gnogglebolt:"But, I was thinking more that you seem to have useful magic…"
Tathi:Tathi hears the sound, and looks behind her. "You IDIOT cat!!"
Flint Carthan:Holy water bomb coming at you, owlbear skeleton! ??1d20+5 = 12 + 5 = 17??
Flint Carthan:??2d4 = 8??
Thomas Lazarus:"Sorry, I'm fresh out!" He makes a b-line for Sszeyl and the others.
Miron :Well.. i did have… what do you think i took the undead up to now down with? Like tathi, i am running out
- Flint Carthan snaps his head in the catfolk's direction at Tathi's shout after lobbing the holy water — "Oh for the love of—"
Dr. Hatari:Alright. Thomas wants in on the properly ordered events going all up ins there. Shall I reroll init? ^^
Sszeyl has received initiative.
Liatai:Nope, you're already in the init. :3
Sszeyl:??1d20+3 = 14 + 3 = 17?? Drow punch!
Dr. Hatari:Alrighty.
Liatai:THWACK. Roll damage!
TMG:by the way
Sszeyl:??1d6+3 = 4 + 3 = 7??
TMG:you get -2 to attack when using Gnogglebolt's morningstar, thomas
Dr. Hatari:Right on.
Miron has received initiative.
TMG:…where's barbarus, and what's he doing?
VAE:done
Emaciated Zombie:This zombie still has a club, if people are looking for bludgeoning implements. :B
Dr. Hatari:He is hilariously opening doors to multiple encounters in the north. x3
Ghostwish:crap. what book is lesser orb of acid in again?
Meany:Barbarus stole the morning star from the bugbear.
Dr. Hatari:Complete Arcane.
Starving Wolf Skeleton:The skeleton lunges! ??1d20+2 = 10 + 2 = 12??
Meany:Miss.
Starving Wolf Skeleton:And misses.
Elros has received initiative.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Thomas Lazarus:Tom rushes over, clanking, but can't get far!
TMG:wait a secon
TMG:WHAT doors to the north>?
Ghostwish:buy a pizza.
TMG:therwe aren't any!
Owlbear Skeleton:Claw swipe! ??1d20+2 = 3 + 2 = 5??
TMG:…
Owlbear Skeleton:Miss.
TMG:where did that door come from? o.o
Tathi has received initiative.
Liatai:It's been there the whole time. XD
TMG:That door was not there before o.O
Dr. Hatari:Tricky to spot. :P
Elros:Elros wonders what's going on, and if he ought to help. He looks over to the KO'd spellcasters. Doesn't look like they're going anywhere.
Dr. Hatari:There was a door earlier I didn't notice until Flint opened it.
Tathi:Tathi mutters a string of curses in elven as she drops her shortbow, and pulls a scroll from her case. She pulls it open, and quickly starts chanting as she points at the owlbear skeleton. A glob of acid shoots forward from her hand! ??1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15?? ranged touch attack for ??1d8 = 1?? points of acid damage!
Dr. Hatari:Cantrip'd!
Tathi:End turn.
Owlbear Skeleton:Hssss! The acid sizzles against the bones, producing bubbles of CO2.
Barbarus has received initiative.
Barbarus:??1d20+1 = 18 + 1 = 19?? Say hello to spikey metal ball, foo! For ??1d8 = 6?? damage!

Liatai:Whiff.
Miron has received initiative.
TMG:Would you folks believe there are NO music videos at all on youtube with Finding Nemo set to Chumbawamba's "Amnesia"?
Ghostwish:Yes.
Dr. Hatari::oGhostwish:youtube is getting copyrighted out the ass.
Ghostwish:It's slowly dying.
Liatai:Move, Miron, move! :O
Dr. Hatari:Mm. The entire lower half of my favorites list is now 'removed by X'.
Starving Wolf Skeleton:??1d20+2 = 2 + 2 = 4?? bite attack for the catfolk's leg!
Starving Wolf Skeleton:Clack! Its teeth clatter against your bone armor.
Elros has received initiative.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Dr. Hatari:Hm. I don't imagine a charge is viable from that angle, is it?
Liatai:Nah, not really.
Dr. Hatari:All done then~
Owlbear Skeleton:RAWR! ??1d20+2 = 15 + 2 = 17??
- Thomas Lazarus moves up to lend Barbarus a hand shortly.
Sszeyl:Hit!
- Thomas Lazarus notes the Owlbear skeleton's rawr. o.o
Owlbear Skeleton:??1d6+5 = 5 + 5 = 10?? damage as the owlbear skeleton's claws finally find their mark in the drow's torso.
- Sszeyl is down!
Tathi has received initiative.
Dr. Hatari:But wait. Sszeyl is still warded from earlier!
Liatai:Oh-ho, why so he is. :O
Dr. Hatari:Tom takes 5 damage for him. :3
Sszeyl:Spell Resistence?
Sszeyl::OSszeyl:…?
Thomas Lazarus:The spell over Sszeyl flares to life and cushions part of the blow, while Thomas himself recoils a bit under the phantom-raking.
Liatai:Ouch! That probably didn't feel good on either of you, five-inch claws gouging into your sides.
Liatai:Tathi's turn!
Dr. Hatari:Spell resistance would only have applied if Sszeyl intended it to when the spell was cast. It was quite some time ago IG, last session.
Tathi:Tathi, seemingly becoming quite pissed judging by the amount of elven swearing she is eminating. "Stupid drow! Get out of there!" She yells as she pulls a wand and points it at the skeleton! Two blasts of light hurl towards the skeleton ??1d4+1+1d4+1 = 4 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 9?? points of damage!!
Owlbear Skeleton:Fortunately, that's enough to down the skeleton entirely, and it crumples into a pile of bones with a hollow clatter.
Barbarus has received initiative.
Tathi:Insert more drow bashing, and end turn!
Thomas Lazarus:"Good work, friends.." His attention settles on Barbarus' quary.
Liatai:I've got to go take care of my sacred canine duty really quick — be back in a flash!
Barbarus:??1d20+1 = 9 + 1 = 10?? Say hello to spikey metal ball, foo! For ??1d8 = 5?? damage!
Barbarus:Aww. :[
- Thomas Lazarus can't help but wonder if friends was an appropriate thing to call the warring elves, but now is not the time for second thoughts!
Ghostwish:star-crossed lovers?
Meany:Annoyances to be killed at the first oppertunity?
Ghostwish:Those're gnomes.
Faerie:Romeo and Juliet with drow and elves.
- Faerie nods
Techubi:XDFaerie:And Juliet going "Your people murdered my entire family…make love to me."
Faerie:Or something.
Meany:»Meany:Fae, you crazy as hell.
Meany::PFaerie:But if I learned anything from movies, it's that girls find death and destruction to be turn-ons.
Faerie:0:3
VAE:Ahahaha
Liatai:OK, I'm back. XD
VAE:So.. does Liatai get turned on by death and destruction ? :3
Dr. Hatari:Oh wow. x3
Flint Carthan:Flint moves over to attempt to help dismantle the skeleton - ??1d20+6 = 15 + 6 = 21?? rapier strike!
Flint Carthan:TO VAE. >:P
Flint Carthan:??1d6+1 = 6 + 1 = 7?? damage to the skeleton.
Faerie:VAE: Well, keep in mind, she -is- a DM.
Faerie:0:3
TMG:did you really ask that, danman o.O
- Liatai turns VAE into a ferret.
Sszeyl has received initiative.
VAE:i did
- VAE is now a ferret? Pancake ferret perhaps?
Faerie:Oh god the horror! D:Faerie:Sticky and now it can bite back! D:VAE:hmm.. not quite like being feline, but i still like it
Liatai:I'll have to try harder, then.
- Liatai turns VAE into a spider.
- Faerie eeks, and stands on a barstool.
Liatai:While I baleful polymorph VAE some more, take your action, Sszeyl. XD
Techubi:What kind of spider?
Sszeyl:??1d20+1 = 16 + 1 = 17?? Sling bullet! Away!
- VAE is a spider now! I should try this on drayco!
Liatai:Daddy longlegs. Small, not much venom at all.
Sszeyl:??1d4 = 2??
TMG:I wonder if anyone's ever going to do something bad enough that you genuinely make good on your threat of actual, baleful polymorph on an character in-game >.>
Sszeyl:0:3
Liatai:Unfortunately, since you're firing into melee, it misses… bouncing off Barbarus' armor.
- VAE can at least shake in a scary way
- TMG catches Danspider in a clear plastic cup.
- VAE goes off to scare Dr… Argh!
Miron has received initiative.
VAE:it's transparent and i can't get through
- Meany steps on the cup.
- TMG leaves cup upside down on a table and just stares.
Meany:0:3
Dr. Hatari:We've had wolf spiders for years. I'm cool with spiders. ^^;
- Faerie scooches away, looking like a terrified girl.
Liatai:Now, now, leave something of VAE so he can take Miron's initiative turn. ;P
TMG:(I actually do this all the time whenever there's a spider crawling up the wall right next to where I'm sitting. x3
VAE:He has to let me outside of the cup!
Dr. Hatari:I hate it when they fail to walk across the ceiling and drop on your stuff. :|
- VAE palpates the cup with forelimbs
- TMG takes Danspider in a cup outside and across the street, and shakes him in the bushes. Might as well have taken you on a cross-coutntry airplae trip and airdropped you in a Peruvian forest.
TMG:*airplane
TMG:Anyway! yes, carry on with the game. xD
Liatai:Yes, on with the game. XD
- Liatai turns VAE back.
Faerie:Yeah, the game, what's going on there?
Liatai:It's Miron's turn. x3
TMG:Gnogglebolt, and it seems Elros too, are keeping an eye on B&B
- VAE is a lynx again… runs back from the bushes
Dr. Hatari:Alright, well, what does Miron do? :P
- Liatai read B&B as Bed and Breakfast for some reason. Pictured those two in charge of a bed and breakfast. Snickers.
Faerie:TMG: We're running a B&B now?
Faerie::P* VAE leaps in .. at least i keep the window open
VAE:dine
VAE:*done
Starving Wolf Skeleton:BITE! ??1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20??
Faerie:Liatai: I read it the same way. x3
Starving Wolf Skeleton:??1d6+1 = 6 + 1 = 7?? damage to the cat!
TMG:oh gawd. I'm reminded of a short story in a high school literature book about an old lady who runs a bed and breakfast and lures people in with ridiculously low prices and then does taxidermy on them o.o
Starving Wolf Skeleton:OM NOM NOM BONES AND THE FLESH OF THE LIVING. >:E
Elros has received initiative.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Thomas Lazarus:Tom takes a moment to leer inside the door for a bit better look
Meany is disconnected.
MeanyOwl has connected.
Thomas Lazarus:He looks to Gnogglebolt's weapon in hand and freezes. ("..What am I doing? :O") He drops it and draws a silver wand. He gives the skeleton a quick swat! ??1d20+5 = 13 + 5 = 18?? Touch attack!
Thomas Lazarus:??1d8+1 = 4 + 1 = 5??
Starving Wolf Skeleton:Pop, crackle, snap, crumble! The skeleton falls apart.
Starving Wolf Skeleton:Combat over! :D
Sszeyl:"No more up in here."
Thomas Lazarus:"Are you alright, friend butcher?"
Barbarus:"A little bleeding from the femoral artery, but good."
Barbarus:"No more in here either."
Flint Carthan:"What in Kord's name were you thinking, butcher?" snaps the witch-hunter.
Thomas Lazarus:"Alright.." He approaches Sszeyl.
Gnogglebolt:Listen check to catch the voices through the hallways: ??1d20+2 = 8 + 2 = 10??
Barbarus:"I was thinking I didn't want anyone hiding in here to flank us while we were busy with the bear."
Barbarus::|Thomas Lazarus:"You confronted that willingly?" Tom seems distracted by the skeleton while he offers Sszeyl healing. ??1d8+1 = 8 + 1 = 9??
Barbarus:??1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15?? Disable device to pop the hinges on this crate.
Flint Carthan:"You could have cracked the door open instead of flinging it wide open," he growls, sheathing his weapons.
Elros:Elros should probably see if he can hear anything as well. Listen ??1d20+6 = 17 + 6 = 23??
Liatai:You both can hear!
Barbarus:"I did. :| The hinges have been oiled too recently."
- Elros is not deaf, yay!
Sszeyl:"Thank you."
Liatai:The hinges of this crate are quite heavily rusted, but you dismantle them.
Sszeyl:"Care to help in checking the contents of this room?"
Tathi:"Well.. I am nearly completely spent. What say we take these necromancers back, beat the cat silly, and call it a day?"
- Sszeyl opens trunk.
Thomas Lazarus:"You're a fearless soul to tackle such a thing with your hands and clothes." He assists Sszeyl in searching.
Liatai:Underneath a layer of five sacks in this chest, you can see the glimmer of silver; a candelabra bearing a design that resembles climbing flames, a silver anklet studded with small hematite gems, and a small glass music box.
- Barbarus attempts to pry open the crate. :o
Tathi:"Really, do we not have a scout?"
Sszeyl:"That's me. And Barbarus."
Elros:Elros hmms, but it sounds like the fight is over. He stays where he is then, minding the spellcasters.
Liatai:The crate contains… food! Lots and lots of trail rations.
Miron :Not quite sure… we should first make sure none of them are hiding around
Miron :an escapee enemy learns from his failure, and comes back stronger
Ghostwish:brb, getting laundry..
- Sszeyl attempts to delicately turn the music box to play. :p
Sszeyl::o*
- Flint Carthan looks left… looks right… then mutters "I'll alert the others, then."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up as Flint arrives. "Ah, how did it go?"
Flint Carthan:"All clear. Two more skeletons, but we made short work of 'em."
Thomas Lazarus:??1d8+1 = 7 + 1 = 8??
Gnogglebolt:"Oh? Well, that's good. There's still one more room here that has yet to be checked. Could you get everyone?"
Gnogglebolt:"We can then start inventorying this place, after taking these necromancers topside."
Ghostwish:back!
Meany has connected.
Gnogglebolt:"Just need to ensure there aren't any surprises left in this last room."
Flint Carthan:"Good plan."
Meany:Thomas Lazarus: ??1d8+1 = 7 + 1 = 8?? Gnogglebolt: "Oh? Well, that's good. There's still one more room here that has yet to be checked. Could you get everyone?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt: "We can then start inventorying this place, after taking these necromancers topside." Ghostwish: back! Meany has connected.
Barbarus::OBarbarus:"Food!"
Tathi:Tathi makes a careful search of the room. That's a total of 23, and don't forget the bonus elves get for secret doors.
MeanyOwl is disconnected.
MeanyOwl is disconnected.
Barbarus:??1d20+4 = 9 + 4 = 13?? Search check!
- Flint Carthan whistles!
Thomas Lazarus:Assisting Tathi! ??1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10??
Dr. Hatari:You get +2 :o
Sszeyl:A-hem?
Dr. Hatari:Ehn, you just opened one. I'll assist you too. :P
- Sszeyl previously cranked the music box to play.
Flint Carthan:"Hey!"
Liatai:It plays a soft, tinkling melody.
Tathi:She looks up at Flint.
- Faerie turns on Food Network. Gets hungry. :x
Barbarus:"Yeah?"
Thomas Lazarus:"Is something the matter?"
Liatai:There's loot to be looted here, but let's finish this bit first.
Flint Carthan:"There's a room we haven't checked yet."
Thomas Lazarus:"Oh..? Oh! The study."
- Sszeyl ninjas his way back. :O
Tathi:"He's right.. what about that door in the room where the necromancers were?"
- Flint Carthan nods, leading the way back.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt stands in front of the door as the others arrive.
- Barbarus rogue's his way back.
- Thomas Lazarus makes a point of healing Barbarus too, now that time permits. ??1d8+1 = 2 + 1 = 3??
Techubi:…
Gnogglebolt:When everyone gets together…
Thomas Lazarus:And another! ??1d8+1 = 2 + 1 = 3??
Miron :Let's go there
Techubi:Audience token is lost in the darkness, again.
Tathi:Tathi then glances at the spellbook.. and promptly snatches it up.
Gnogglebolt:As everyone files in, gnogglebolt holds up his grenade.
Gnogglebolt:"I don't care what's in this room. I don't care if it's empty, or if there's more undead, or if this blows up in my face.
Gnogglebolt:"I'm using it." 8[
- Flint Carthan steps waaaaay back.
Thomas Lazarus:"Friend." He lays a hand on Gnogglebolt's shoulder.
Gnogglebolt:"Stand back, everyone!"
Tathi:"Oh by the forest.." Tathi says, backing up with her new acquisition..
Thomas Lazarus:"Please do not throw it at nothing, at least."
Thomas Lazarus:"Tomorrow is another day."
- Thomas Lazarus he waits a few steps back.
Gnogglebolt:"But a device is meant to be used! An unused device is the greatest tragedy ever. Besides, I practically smashed this thing together."
Gnogglebolt:"I'ts not going to keep."
Ghostwish:please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face, please let it blow up in his face….
Ghostwish::PTechubi:XD* Thomas Lazarus rubs his head with a sigh, and decides this isn't the time to protest.
TMG:okay…
TMG:what was the Use Tech Device DC on this thing, again?
Ghostwish:1d20-20.
Liatai:13.
Dr. Hatari:One device in 25 sessions and you want to throw it at an empty room… oi vey. :P
TMG:YES. ;~;
Meany:LESS CHATTER.
Meany:MORE CLATTER.
- Elros is just going to stand over here…behind everyone else…for when it finally does go off.
Gnogglebolt:As everyone takes their steps back…Gnogglebolt starts fiddling with a few knobs. Use Tech Device: ??1d20+10 = 8 + 10 = 18??
Liatai:I'm sorryyyyyyyy XD You just went to the wrong door!
Gnogglebolt:He then steps into the room, and with "KEL VARSH!" tosses it.
Gnogglebolt:the room lights up as everyone hears a KBZZZRRRRRRP!@
Faerie:o/` Duck! And cover~ Duck! And cover~ o/`
Gnogglebolt:"…Oh. So it was empty.:* Thomas Lazarus rubs one side of his face with a small frown.
Thomas Lazarus:"Well, atleast we're alright."
Elros:"Hmm. So it is."
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 4 + 3 = 7?? Open lock!
Barbarus::[* Flint Carthan peeks around the bookshelf. "… That was in his pocket the whole time?" o.o
Elros:Unless there's any hidden passages, I don't think we'll find anything here.
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10?? Open lock!
Gnogglebolt:"…Right then, I guess we can take the necromancers topside now."
Elros:??1d20+9 = 6 + 9 = 15?? Spot check, just in case.
Barbarus:"I'm staying to loot. :D"
Sszeyl:"Necromancer. Singular. »"
Liatai:Search check would be better, Elros.
Sszeyl:"One of them is mine."
Sszeyl:"Until I say otherwise."
- Thomas Lazarus raises a brow.
Thomas Lazarus:"What's wrong, friend?"
Elros:Search ??1d20+9 = 1 + 9 = 10?? He was going to do that next anyway.
Gnogglebolt:"…by what do you mean by that, Sszeyl?"
- Flint Carthan also raises an eyebrow at the drow.
Elros:Fff…
Sszeyl:"He had a Drow skeleton under his command."
Liatai:Elros, you find two skull masks in this room, made of humanoid bones and painted over with black lacquer.
Sszeyl:"I want to know if it was the old woman recorded in the ledger, or someone else."
Thomas Lazarus:"Well, I imagine they're quite indescriminate."
Gnogglebolt:"….and we can do that, Sszeyl."
Sszeyl:"No."
Sszeyl:"There will be no -we- in this."
Gnogglebolt:"But I am sorry. You cannot override surface law."
Sszeyl:"And I am sorry."
Sszeyl:"But this is not a debate."
Elros:Elros hmms at the masks. Though he feels a bit dirty touching them.
Gnogglebolt:(did Thomas give Gnogglebolt his morningstar back?)
- Thomas Lazarus seems utterly baffled.
Thomas Lazarus:"What are you even proposing?"
Thomas Lazarus:Nope. I suppose he would have picked it up, since he could see it, and I er, didn't get the visual reminder. >.>
Sszeyl:"I am going to question the mongrel myself. Then when his information is no longer needed, then you lot can have him."
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 10 + 3 = 13?? Open lock? :]
Gnogglebolt:"…Well then. Let's get that out of the way."
Gnogglebolt:"Right now."
Elros:??1d20+2 = 14 + 2 = 16?? Int check to know what the masks are?
Sszeyl:"I suggest you prepare your stomachs then. :/"
Miron :Brother gnogglebolt… was it wise to do that? Remember , there is still one of them somewhere, if not here , at least in akellon
Thomas Lazarus:"Mm. You'll need to revive one, I suppose."
Sszeyl:"This is the one."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt waves to everyone to come into the next room with them.
Gnogglebolt:"….and how do you know?"
Liatai:You remember Flint saying something about the Blackskulls wearing black masks when they meet in public…
Techubi:Wasn't Baum the cleric?
Sszeyl:"His brother summoned a zombie."
Sszeyl:"And from their dialogue, I deduced they differed on styles of necromancy."
Sszeyl:"This one used skeletons."
Gnogglebolt:"…hmm. Right then…might as well be best if we keep them apart." Gnogglwebolt drags him to the other pew on the other side of the room.
Thomas Lazarus:"The one with the scythe is a divine anchor. The one with the staff was an arcanist." He looks to Sszeyl and raises his brows a bit. He hadn't really considered that.
Elros:Elros sets the masks down on a table. "Well, I suppose this is why they're called the 'Blackskulls'."
Tathi:Tathi flicks through the spellbook for a moment.. "Do bring me anything you think might be magical..:"
Gnogglebolt:"Now, wait first, Sszeyl."
Gnogglebolt:"Just to be sure."
Miron :I still have the truth serum
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 2 + 3 = 5?? Open lock!
Barbarus::[Miron :We can interrogate one of them , and find out
Gnogglebolt:"You want to know if that elf skeleton was bought from Granch Redmaw? Then nothing more?"
Thomas Lazarus:He sighs lightly. "Well. Bind his hands so he cannot cast spells, and I will revive your quarry."
Gnogglebolt:"And you will not touch him?"
Gnogglebolt:"At least, any more than knocking him out if he becomes unruly?"
Sszeyl:"I cannot promise that. :|"
Liatai:The spellbook is quite nearly full… the arcanist clearly had been making the most of his association with the mages' guild.
- Thomas Lazarus staaares at the back of Gnogglebolt's head.
Gnogglebolt:"You must promise that, Sszeyl. tell me. What will you do?"
Gnogglebolt:"Tell me exactly whay you plan to do."
Gnogglebolt:*what
- Sszeyl looks over this one. Trying to determine how much can be put to him.
- Thomas Lazarus glances up to Sszeyl and gives him a raised brow 'this is going to become a problem' expression.
Miron :He will gut the one who revived the drow, from the looks of him
Miron :Not like i hold it as a bad thing to him
- Faerie hungers for the flesh of the living~
Thomas Lazarus:"..Perhaps I should prepare, too."
- Thomas Lazarus picks up his blade and returns it to his sheath.
Faerie:Or dinner. I suppose I could be hungering for dinner.
Faerie:But really, which is more likely?
Sszeyl:"I'll probably need to keep him in one place for a bit of time."
Dr. Hatari:You do live in a den of zombies.
Tathi:"Hmmm! This fellow did have quite the arcane library.. Pity he chose to focus in such a weak school." She says, snapping the book closed and looking over the shelves at the books.
Sszeyl:"One moment."
Liatai:X3 Go ahead and eat, Fae.
- Sszeyl grabs the golden dagger out of the corpse.
Sszeyl:Yank!
Tathi:"Now, this. This is interesting. Could I ask for the company of our religious members?" Tathi calls out.
Miron :Oh?
Liatai:The corpse does not resist.
Gnogglebolt:"hey, what the—Sszeyl!"
Gnogglebolt:"What are you doing?"
Miron :Miron walks to the elf
Faerie:Alright. Not gonna sign out though, so I'll have the log.
Tathi:"Have a look at these books. Seems like they were trying to combine our two arts into one."
TMG:wait, one sec
TMG:need to whisper a few things…
Ghostwish:buy a pizza!
VAE:Religion or Arcana, liatai?
Ghostwish:you mean skill check?
VAE:indeed
- Flint Carthan walks over and observes the butcher trying to open the chest.
VAE:if it's combined.. it's harder to decide
Liatai:For what?
VAE:for examining the book that tries to combine the two
Liatai:What are you trying to learn/determine?
Liatai:Books of that sort are all over the study. x3 It's not a hard search.
Tathi:Tathi woud like to know what sinister little plot they were trying to hatch.
VAE:in what way did they do so..
VAE:and perhaps see if they have any spells i can crib
Liatai:The books describe ways in which those who have some mastery over both the arcane and the divine can train to combine their two arts and improve their spellcasting powers.
TMG:Mystic Theurges in training, it seems :o
Liatai:Indeed. :3
Dr. Hatari:Or perhaps hilarious True Necromancers!
VAE:so, which check?
Liatai:No check needed.
VAE:great
VAE:Any divine spells i can copy down?
Liatai:Not that you can see in this book.
VAE:Should i take a 20 to search all of them ?
Sszeyl:"I intend to do a simple holding method. I impale one of his hands through the palm, and into the wood below."
VAE:how long would it take?
Liatai:You can, but it would take quite a while, hours at least.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt whistles to the others. "Folks! I know you'rwe all eager to poke through this stuff, but can you come in here for a minute?"
Sszeyl:"Then, simply agitating the knife will provide stimulus enough to answer the question."
Thomas Lazarus:Tom watches passively.
Tathi:"Interesting. I am guessing one was a cleric, and one was a wizard.. and they were attempting to chain their powers together. What an oddly oriental concept."
Thomas Lazarus:"Gnogglebolt, I'm not sure they want to observe this."
Ghostwish:*teases the DM mercilessly*
Thomas Lazarus:"It may not be pleasant."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at Sszeyl. "That is wholly unecessary."
Miron :Allright..
Sszeyl:"By your standards."
Gnogglebolt:"-I- will get what you want to know for you. Very well?"
Tathi:"What is going on in here?"
Sszeyl:"No."
Sszeyl:"I said so before."
Miron :Let him do it.. not like they deserve any better?
Sszeyl:"There will be no -we- in this."
Flint Carthan:"Want a hand there, butcher?"
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 12 + 3 = 15?? Open lock!
Barbarus:"One more try. :d"
Ghostwish:watch flint get a natural 20… :P
Miron :So.. if you want to interrogate them *now* do please make it quick
Miron :There is some interesting literature… i might find something to use against the evilmakers in the future
Gnogglebolt:"There will not be any 'you' in this, Sszeyl. You have to remember, you're not in the drow nation anymore. You are in our land, you live by our rules. And I will also remind you of Trofim. Which, by the way, -you- helped with."
- Sszeyl stands and looms over Gnoggle.
Liatai:Oh dear.
Gnogglebolt:"You are not going to torture anyone, no matter how much they may deserve it."
Gnogglebolt:"That is not done around here."
Sszeyl:"I did say before, this was not a debate."
Sszeyl:Punt!
Thomas Lazarus:"You're over-reacting, Gnogglebolt. We already stuck them left and right."
Miron :Gnogglebolt, brother, calm down
TMG:…did he -really- just kick Gnogglebolt?
Miron :These are scum. There is no reason to care what happens to them.
Meany:Unless someone gives me a reason to make it not so.
TMG:Surrounded?
- Flint Carthan waits and lets the butcher have his one more try!
Miron :They will be executed soon anyways.. and if it makes getting the information quicker…
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 13 + 3 = 16?? !!
Dr. Hatari:Not surrounded by people that oppose his decisions. >.>
Miron :They have murdered many innocents - not like they deserve any better
TMG:I will step out of character for a moment to remind everyone that deliberately causing pain to another person (torture) is defined as an Evil act.
- Flint Carthan takes out a set of lockpicks. "I'll take a crack at it."
TMG:Back into character now…
Flint Carthan:??1d20+4 = 17 + 4 = 21??
Flint Carthan:Click!
VAE:And noone else besides the drow is gonna do it.. but that doesn't mean they give a damn
Thomas Lazarus:"Your friend wishes to learn something. We're down here to see to it that justice is done." With a stern look, Thomas sweeps his arm to his immediate right, displaying the cold-radiating sacrificial altar caked in the blood of over two dozen townspeople.
- Flint Carthan tries not to look smug.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at the others. "One, harming someone in combat is one thing, deliberatly causing unecessary pain to a helpess person is another entirely."
Gnogglebolt:"And two, we could at least -try- to just ask first, without the hand-stabbing."
Miron :Yhey are necromancers… they aren't helples until hanging from the gallows
Thomas Lazarus:"Can't you see at all that your friend feels strongly about this?"
Tathi:Tathi sighs heavily. "No one's torturing anyone. Let's just get this questioning underway, allright?"
TMG:(hatari, a cleric of Pelor should -not- be cool with this :B )
Barbarus:"Thank you. :D"
- Barbarus opens.
Liatai:Tech, please don't tell others how to play their characters.
Dr. Hatari:(You don't need to remind me that I'm not perfectly fitting the stereotype. You're generally correct. Carry on.)
TMG:Was just making an observation. :/ but okay.
Thomas Lazarus:"..At any rate."
Liatai:This chest contains two rolls of parchment bearing magical writing, a tarnished and bloodied suit of well-made full plate armor bearing the sign of the Aureate Palm, and a silver holy symbol… wait, is that the sign of Pelor?
Miron :At any rate, let's get on with it
- Thomas Lazarus gestures for the man's arms. "Restrain him and I'll bring him back to the world of the waking."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt gives Thomas an odd look. "I'm surprised at you. I thought you of all people would know that being too emtional can cloud judgement."
- Flint Carthan gives a low whistle at the contents of the chest. "Palm armor."
Gnogglebolt:"But anyway." Gnogglebolt looks back to Sszeyl. "We will ask first. Such an obvious bad position will likely give us what we need."
Thomas Lazarus:"..I don't know what you're talking about, Gnogglebolt." He sounds a bit less evenly reassuring than usual.
Miron :Palm armor?
Miron :Does it mean they have murdered a paladin?
Barbarus:"Thomas! :O"
Gnogglebolt:"If, and only if, he does not cooperate…fine. I'll compromise and let you do what you want."
Barbarus:"Something you gotta see!"
Thomas Lazarus:He blinks and glances over.
- Barbarus gestures over.
Flint Carthan:"Palm armor. And.." Flint holds up the holy symbol.
Tathi:"Yes, and kindly stop wasting my time, thank you." Tathi says simply, heading back to the bookshelves.
Thomas Lazarus:"Pardon me."
Tathi:Bookshleves which she starts raiding like a librianian on a crusade.
TMG:(response from Sszeyl?)
Thomas Lazarus:"Yes?"
- Flint Carthan reverently hands over the holy symbol.
TMG:(…nevermind)
- Thomas Lazarus takes it gingerly and gives it a look over.
- Sszeyl still looming over the gnome, leans down. "Next time you stand between me and my legal obligations. I will break you over my knee."
Thomas Lazarus:"Where was this..?"
Gnogglebolt:"…right. Don't know what's got them up in a fuss, but this guy isn't getting anywhere near conciousness without Thomas…"
Flint Carthan:"In the chest, underneath the armor."
Dr. Hatari:Is it obvious whose symbol it is?
- Dr. Hatari wasn't reading the other room events very closely. :o
Liatai:Very much so, seeing as it's identical to the one around Thomas' neck.
Miron :Come , thomas
- Thomas Lazarus flinches.
Miron :This only adds to their guilt.. but we have to interrogate them, as repugnant as it is to see such people awake
Thomas Lazarus:He wraps the chain around his right gauntlet a few times.
Miron :Be strong… when we bring this evidence before the court they'll hang in a few days
- Barbarus attempts to pry the torch loose. :o
Barbarus:??1d20+4 = 6 + 4 = 10?? Disable device!
- Thomas Lazarus looks from Baum to Sszeyl, expressionlessly.
Liatai:It comes loose easily… and it doesn't seem to be radiating heat, either. How strange.
Thomas Lazarus:"Let's just go, then."
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18?? Open lock. :O
Thomas Lazarus:He hauls Baxter over his shoulder and makes for the surface as a leisurely pace.
TMG:whoa whoa whoa
TMG:we need Thomas to bring Baum around for questioning o.O
Liatai:The crate is not locked.
Dr. Hatari:Do we? Am I reading the mood wrong? x3
Barbarus:Ker-Open!
Liatai:A suit of plate armor that looks like it was made for a human is in this crate, along with a very well-made hand crossbow. Unfortunately, there are no bolts to go with the crossbow in here.
VAE:that's why Miron was calling him over
TMG:well, considering Sszweyl absolutely -refuses- to let Baum go until he knows what he wants…
VAE:he's the on;y one with healing spells left
Barbarus:Ker open of crate two!
Dr. Hatari:The suggestion I'm reading is Sszeyl uses a potion to do it himself later or he flips out and starts pwnching. Either that or he conceded to let it go.
Liatai:2500 GP! Score!
VAE:That's not what i have gotten through.. but still
TMG:and I can't believe that Thomas would go to the surface with only -one- of them.
Meany::DDr. Hatari:What is Sszeyl doin' in that case? Like, as Tom is looking at him?
TMG:He's standing Back, Gnogglebolt finally wrangled a compromise out of him.
TMG:*back
Dr. Hatari:Oh, whispered, I take it?
TMG:no O.o
Meany:For the promise of killing Gnogglebolt next time he pulls this stunt. :P
TMG:no no, not that
Tathi:Tathi is flicking through the tomes, glancing through their contents and choosing the best ones for her own collection.. along with whichever ones might sell nicely at the bookstore. What kind of rolls might this activity require, DM?
TMG:\just that Sszeyl's going to stand back and allow normal questioning first, and -then- if he's uncooperative, Sszeyl can do his thing.
Dr. Hatari:Well, in that case, I guess I just misunderstood stuff OOC. :D
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 9 + 3 = 12?? Open lock!
TMG:and then, when Sszeyl knows what he wants, baum goes unconcious again, and then they pair are taken to the surface
Liatai:Search check, though they're all pretty good quality. Surprising, given the fact they're in such a bloodied, messy temple to unlife.
Thomas Lazarus:"Do we have rope, or manacles?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt pulls some spare rope out of his pack, and sets about tying Baum's hands.
VAE:Miron's gonna be pissed off if you swipe something from under his nose XD
Tathi:Tathi searches very carefully. A full 23 on the check.
Gnogglebolt:"So, just because I want to make sure I don't make you any angrier than you already are, Sszeyl…"
Thomas Lazarus:??1d20+3 = 16 + 3 = 19?? Assist?
Gnogglebolt:"You -just- want to know if the drow skeleton here is the same one that was sold by Granch redmaw? That's it?"
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 12 + 3 = 15?? Open lock!
Liatai:The whole collection is worth 1,000 GP, and grants a +2 bonus on Knowledge (arcana) checks made with the books as a resource.
TMG:actually, Thomas can just keep the roll himself as the main check o.o
Liatai:Er, Knowledge (religion), sorry.
Dr. Hatari:Well, his modifier wouldn't be that good. :(
Sszeyl:"Yes."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, seeing that Thomas is ahandling the rope well, lets him take the lead.
Dr. Hatari:Ehn, oh well. :P
Gnogglebolt:"Okay then. And once we know either way, you are opkay with this man being knocked out again, and then taken to the Palm as was the Banshee woman before them?"
Sszeyl:"After I get what I want, you may do as you please."
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 9 + 3 = 12?? Open. Lock. >:[
Barbarus:DxTathi:Tathi comes back into the room, looking quite please.. with a stack of books.
Liatai:Why not take 20? ^^;
- Barbarus takes twenty.
Liatai:Click!
- Barbarus opens.
Gnogglebolt:"Alright then. Gnogglebolt stands in front of baum, and gestures to the others. "Close in, look menacing."
Liatai:A star sapphire, a piece of tigers-eye, and a bag filled with twenty-four chunks of onyx are in this chest.
TMG:er, no
Thomas Lazarus:With the ropes tied as tight as they're gonna be, Thomas returns Baum to the world of the waking.
TMG:scratch that
Thomas Lazarus:??1d8+1 = 5 + 1 = 6??
Barbarus:O8Dr. Hatari:Well. Possibly, anyways.
- Barbarus clicks this shut, and carries it with him.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt pulls out his morningstar, and keeps it in his hands as Baum is brought about, and the others standby.
Gnogglebolt:The moment Baum's eyes open, Gnogglebolt starts talking.
Barbarus:??1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11?? Appraise on these barrels.
- Baum slowly wakes… then immediately tries to wriggle out of the bindings on his wrists. ??1d20 = 4??
Faerie:Food get!
- Faerie plays the Zelda item get jingle
Gnogglebolt:"Let us skip any panicing, or escape attemps." gnogglebolt gives him a solid thump with his morningstar on a blunt end (not an attack) as he sees Baum start wriggling.
Gnogglebolt:"Focus."
Faerie:Now, while I read the log. Which I do have.
Liatai:The barrels are worth 2 GP each, and are quite dusty.
Thomas Lazarus:Tom knits his brow and looks seriously troubled by something. But he doesn't otherwise interact with Baum.
- Barbarus starts carrying things up to the cart. :O
- Baum glowers at the gnome, looking utterly furious, but does not speak.
Gnogglebolt:"I have just one small question of you. If you deign to answer, fine, if you don't, whatever. To -me- it doesn't matter any other way, because you make me sick, but I don't suppose you care about that."
Gnogglebolt:"My one question is this."
Miron :Miron walks closer. "It seems your day wasn't so lucky after all, villain"
Thomas Lazarus:"I'm sorry." He whispers while stepping away. "I have to get back to the surface right now. I'll be waiting." He grabs up Baxter.
Gnogglebolt:"Either you or your brother raised a drow as a skeleton." Gnogglebolt points. "Did you buy this drow from a bugbear named Granch Redmaw? hat is all I want to know."
TMG:seriously?
TMG:Thomas is going to -leave- Baum?
Thomas Lazarus:He takes his captive and hurriedly heads away. Weird of him.
Baum:"Put him down!" the cleric spits, trying to stand and go after Thomas.
Gnogglebolt:"DAMMIT THOMAS!"
Sszeyl:Thunk.
Dr. Hatari:Well it's not as though the rest of you aren't right there.
Dr. Hatari:He assumes you'll bring him, too. :P
Sszeyl:The golden dagger plants itself in the wall not an inch from Baum's face.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, and presumably everyone else, starts trying to hold Baum down.
Dr. Hatari:It's not a double-cross if that's the idea you got. Haha.
Miron :YOU WON"T ORDER US AROUND, SWINE
Faerie:Alright, I think I'm caught up.
Miron :*Miron raises his hand, still containing the inflict spell*
Gnogglebolt:"Thomas, hold for -one minute-."
Miron :See this? One bad move and i give you your own medicine
- Baum freezes as the dagger flashes past his nose — probably all the distraction the party needs to push him back onto the pew.
Gnogglebolt:"Right. Focus." Gnogglebolt says to Baum.
Miron :I still have the truth serum if this fails, gnogglebolt
Gnogglebolt:"Answer the question. Did you buy the drow from a bugbear named Granch Redmaw?"
Thomas Lazarus:Tom, on the other hand, did not wait. He seemed seriously disturbed, and pleas to the contrary hit him in the back. On the other hand, he didn't make much spectacle of leaving. Your captive remains.
Thomas Lazarus whispers: Tom hauls the Necromancer up up and away! :O
Gnogglebolt:"yes or no. It's a simple question."
Miron :*looks at tom leaving, and is noticeably angrier*
Miron :Look… see that drow over there? He wants your head on a platter.
Sszeyl:"Pike."
Miron :Gnogglebolt here is the only one having qualms against that
Miron :Do honor his words, or he might lose them
- Baum seems to consider for a moment, eyes still darting around the room as if looking for an escape route.
Baum:You might want to try an Intimidate check, folks.
Miron :??1d20+0 = 8 + 0 = 8?? Intimidate
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt notices this, and cuts in, snapping his fingers in front of Baum. "Focus. You're not getting out of this either way."
Miron :The short gnome isn't very scary
TMG:I don't suppose I could make a dimplomacy check? >.>
TMG:small-size characters get -4, and I have no ranks in it. :/
TMG:Tathi or Elros could make the check?
Baum:Nope, Intimidate, and you may want to make it quick.
TMG:Alright, fine… Intimidate: ??1d20-1 = 1 - 1 = 0??
TMG:BAWH.
Ghostwish:LGhostwish:OGhostwish:LTechubi:XDElros:Intimidate ??1d20+1 = 17 + 1 = 18??
- Baum defiantly spits at the gnome's face.
Ghostwish:You are as intimidating as a hamster in a baby's bonnet.
TMG:Ah, there we go.
VAE:make an intimidate check, SSzeyl
VAE:After all, Miron was trying to set you up in a good cop bad cop opposition with Gnogglebolt
Techubi:Didn't Elros already make a decent intimidate?
VAE:In fact, his low check might be *good*
VAE:yeah.. but he isn't too active in the whole of this
TMG:result from Elros?
Baum:Reaction from Gnogglebolt?
Baum:The guy just spat in his face.
TMG:umm… Gnogglebolt's reaction only applies if Elros fails :B
Thomas Lazarus whispers: Tom mutters to himself urgently during the march through the sewers. ("..Does he feel nothing..? ..Is he dead..? Is his heart a stone? As if.. as if beauracratic protection of these.. MONSTERS' civic rights matters at all after that!") He's nearly pushed himself to tears. ("… Is it I that have evil dwelling in my heart, to think such a thing? Lord have mercy on your foolish child - I do not know what to think, right now..") He determines that a lot of meditation is in order tonight, and simply forges onward. He rubs at his face with the back of his arm.
TMG:well, alright
VAE:liatai… can i hit the guy with other hand?
VAE:i mean the one i aren't holding the spell in
VAE:or better, hold another spell in there (minor wounds)
Techubi:'i aren't?'
Ghostwish:you can choose whether or not to use the spell, ya know.
Ghostwish:itGnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt steps back in disgust, wiping his face furiously. "Can't say I honestly expected much better, but I tried, and that's all that matters. He's all you're, Sszey—" Gnogglebolt then notices Elros trying to get the man to cooperate.
Ghostwish:it's not like holding a shocking grasp makes your hand a cattle prod.
- Barbarus has moved on from the trunk, and is not loading the sacks of treasure from the other trunk into the cart. :O
VAE:see, i dont' want to lose the moderate wounds charge, but stil lwant to do something
VAE:and wait for a moment people
Barbarus:Productive cat is productive.
TMG:…
TMG:what cart?
TMG:isn't that waaaay back?
Barbarus:Sszeyl's cart.
VAE:because this is an immediate reaction to the spitting
Liatai:The cart on the surface.
Liatai:I'll rule that yes, you can.
TMG:okay, so Barbarus is carrying bags of gold by himself?
Meany:Mhm.
Meany:Productive cat. :D
VAE:Also.. how do i attack someoen that is totally restrained?
VAE:any modifiers?
TMG:Okay, Gnogglebolt would care about that. Anyway! Elros's result?
Liatai:Automatic hit.
VAE:OKLiatai:??1d20+3 = 6 + 3 = 9??
Liatai:VAE, Miron can act first.
Miron :Miron uses other hand to cast a Inflict Minor wounds spell, then hits Baum with it causing 1 HP of negative energy damege
TMG:(wait a sec, I thought Thomas decided to leave Baxter behind? Where did he go? o.o )
- Elros apparently intimidated so well, he made other people do things! :U
Miron :Tou DO NOT do this to me, or others,scum Consider this your warning.
Dr. Hatari:No, he took Baxter.
Dr. Hatari:He's presumably waiting for you near the house.
Baum:"AAGH!" The spellcaster hisses as the spell damage hits, and quails away from Elros.
VAE:*to Gnogglebolt
Sszeyl:The Drow is advancing.
TMG:Tom, on the other hand, did not wait. He seemed seriously disturbed, and pleas to the contrary hit him in the back. On the other hand, he didn't make much spectacle of leaving. Your captive remains.
Sszeyl:Ooh, he does not look nice.
Dr. Hatari:I should have specified, I guess, that your captive was Baum.
Dr. Hatari::PTMG:Guh.
TMG:Alright, then…
Miron :Feel this? It should be familiar - It is the same energy you deal with.
Miron :*Miron radiates calm anger*
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, done with bothering with Baum, takes notice of Barbarus carrying a large bag.
Miron :Now, respond to the question
Gnogglebolt:"Whoa, hold up there!"
- Barbarus waves. :D
- Barbarus holds up there.
Dr. Hatari:Thomas eventually makes his way back to the dilapidated old house, and decides to make use of Barbarus' cart.
Baum:"— Fine! Yes! What's it to you?!"
Thomas Lazarus:Thomas eventually makes his way back to the dilapidated old house, and decides to make use of Barbarus' cart.
Dr. Hatari:Bad about that x3
Gnogglebolt:"Why are you trying to take care of this by yourself…one moment."
Miron :As of now, the drow is my ally. That is all the reason i need.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt hears Baum's response, and turns back.
Sszeyl:"He's yours."
Miron :Respond. Did you deal with the tribe of Granch Redmaw or not?
Gnogglebolt:"Alright, that's what we needed. Knock him back out, associates."
Sszeyl:…
TMG:a bit slow on the uptake, danman :P
Sszeyl:IS. THAT. TEMPLAR. FOO. STEALING. MAH. CART?!
VAE:oh , he responded already? I thought it was a "Yes, i'll answer"
VAE:(it could be interpreted in various ways)
Dr. Hatari:GRAND THEFT CART.
- VAE facepaws
- Baum struggles once more to try and escape the bonds on his wrists — ??1d20 = 5??
VAE:but well, it can be taken that Miron was a bit slow
Gnogglebolt:Seeing no one else respond, Gnogglebolt walks over an nonlethally klonks Baum with his morningstar.
Miron :At least that's dealt with
Gnogglebolt:" span>
Miron :*uff*
Gnogglebolt:"There."
Baum:Klonk. Out he goes again.
Miron :That was a hard one.
Miron :I appear to be getting out of practice
Gnogglebolt:"Now that that is dealt with, lets get him to the guardhouse as soon as possible."
Miron :What do you think,Flint?
Barbarus:Thomas better roll a good Handle Animal check.
Gnogglebolt:"We can then return and clean out anything useful from here."
Barbarus:Because there's a Murder Mule guarding that cart.
- Flint Carthan enters the room, carrying two scrolls and trying to manage carrying a suit of full plate as best he can. Which isn't well.
Miron :I shall check out the books in the meantime perhaps
Gnogglebolt:He looks at Barbarus. "I suppose if you're already carrying that bag, go ahead and bring it along."
Barbarus:"I've been carrying stuff out of the back since you guys started torturing. :o"
TMG:erm
Barbarus: (( GM! Percentage of dungeon looted? ))
TMG:I meant to say that Gnogglebolt would have taken notices the moment Barb -started-
Thomas Lazarus:He settles Baxter into the back, and has simply been standing by for some time. He gives the unconscious necromancer a thoughtful look now and then, but isn't otherwise attempting to go anywhere. And certainly not jack the cart or interact with the murder mule. :P
TMG:I didn't realize OOC what you were doing right away.
TMG:But…ah, fine, whatever
TMG:no biggie, let's move on. x3
Liatai:He's looted… one box, and the gold so far.
Miron :(Taking 20 on search for a total of 26 Miron looks for any divine spells for future cribbing while the party is busy with other things)
Gnogglebolt:"Alright, let's get this scum up to the surface and to the guardhouse, then we can come back and take our sweet time."
- Flint Carthan drops a scroll on Miron's head. "Here."
- Flint Carthan follows the party, still carrying the other scroll and the Palm armor.
Miron :Argh? Oh?
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt walks over to Sszeyl. "There, you see? You got what you needed to know. I wasn't trying to get in your way, Sszeyl."
Miron :What have you found, friend?
Gnogglebolt:"I just disagreed with your method."
Miron :*picks the scroll up*
Tathi:Tathi, who had her head in the books the entire time, meanders up to the surface.
Gnogglebolt:"And it would have been a hard time explaining wounds like that to the guard."
VAE:to see what it is, should i do 0 level "read magic" ?
Flint Carthan:"Not sure. All I know is it's divine, and that's your area."
Tathi:She brings her torch back out on the way, and also retrieves her shortbow.
Sszeyl:"…I knew that you were disagreeing. I didn't care. As it is, I'm liable to be murdered in my sleep -now- because of your involvement. >:["
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, with Baum, and presummably everyone else, heads to the surface.
VAE:or spellcraft check simply?
Liatai:You can do either. :3
Miron :Gnogglebolt… such wounds tend to be classified as the subject "falling down the stairs"
Sszeyl: (( NOT A FIAT ON ORDER BEHAVIOUR. PURE BLIND PROPAGANDA FEAR. :o ))
Liatai:XDGnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt gives Sszeyl a raised eyebrow as they walk through the tunnel. "That's awful."
Faerie:What about a small Italian car?
Ghostwish:brb! Supper time!
Liatai:Spellcraft or Read Magic would work, Miron. :3
Miron :allright *cast one of the two read magic prepared on the scroll*
Gnogglebolt:"And I'm not sure how true it is. If your so-called Order really had such power up here on the surface, we would have eventually noticed people vanishing like that. But whatever."
TMG:So, everyone's heading to the surface?
Liatai:The scroll contains two spells; Desecrate and Animate Dead.
TMG:and…as an out-of-character thing, I'm going to have to agree with hatari
Meany:I vote we skim over the next bit.
TMG:hodge-podge looting is murder ^^;
Dr. Hatari:>:3
TMG:Ah, yes, was just about to suggest that myself
Meany:And get to the division of loot. :O
VAE:Wrong .. hodge-podge looting is suicide
TMG:…
VAE:in case of traps and curses, anyways
TMG:so why are you doing it now, danman o.O
TMG:that's exactly what you're doing
VAE:Because i like risktaking sometimes XP
TMG:….Anyway.
VAE:Seriously, a bookshelf isn't likely to be trapped
Meany:Everyone.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, and presumably everyone else, arrives on the surface with Baum.
Liatai:All right! Let me just compile the loot list… shall I assume you all are making a very thorough search of the place?
- Thomas Lazarus is sitting against the cart with a rag in hand, trying to buff some of the more glancing scrapes and blood splatters from his uniform. He looks exhausted.
VAE:because books are a common use item, unlike treasure
Meany:Sszeyl is.
Meany:This place is a gold mine of furniture. :O
Dr. Hatari:On the Old House map, atm.
Meany:And Barbie is loving on his star saphire.
VAE:Except for The Name of the Rose indeed
Gnogglebolt:As they head to the guardhouse, Gnogglebolt looks at Thomas. 'What was that all about anyway, Thomas?"
VAE:Ibut that was a special case.
Gnogglebolt:"Why the sudden need to get the one necromancer up to the surface?"
Miron :Now.. This scroll.. interesting. It shall improve our knowledge of their methods.
- Thomas Lazarus knits his brow and closes his eyes. "Excuse me, friend, but I trust this is under your collective control, now."
Thomas Lazarus:"There's something I.. really, really need to do."
Miron :I propose we store it in the Society's library , Flint - i have no immediate use
Thomas Lazarus:"I hope you'll pardon me if I return to the temple for the evening and meditate."
VAE:where's everyone ATM?
Gnogglebolt:"Oh, of course, no worries."
Thomas Lazarus:"Thank you."
TMG:I think everyone's walking to the courthouse
Liatai:Right now, I've just pasted everyone onto the dilapidated old house map.
TMG:that's what I'm having Gnogglebolt at
Miron :I understand… my brothers have been murdered by the vile too, and it isn't a nice experience
- Flint Carthan offers a sympathetic nod, still carrying the Palm armor.
Thomas Lazarus:"It's not.." He just stops himself with a sigh.
Meany:I thought we were time skipping. :P
Thomas Lazarus:"I just need to go do some meditating. Good luck."
Gnogglebolt:"of course."
Miron :Then, even better. Good luck. May Pelor give you strength!
Gnogglebolt:Anyway…if no other dialogue, everyone gets to the courthouse?
Thomas Lazarus:With that, Tom leaves the B Brothers to the party, and returns to the temple for the night.
Meany:Dx* Flint Carthan tips his hat solemnly in the templar's direction. "I'll go deliver this to the Palm offices, then."
Miron :*to Flint* So, brother .. the air of Castleton is a little cleaner again!
Miron :*follows Flint*
Gnogglebolt:When arriving to the courthouse, Gnogglebolt announces they've got two more for the Palm, and details the group
Gnogglebolt:group's escapade to Captain McKeith, giving him the address and as detailed a description as he could stomach about what was found inside.
Meany:Then! Back to looting!
Flint Carthan:"A little's right… Worries me a little how easily those two went down. They were supposed to be formidable spellcasters. They were barely a good fight!"
Meany:And! Treasure division!
Ghostwish:back!
Meany:Yo.
TMG:and, everyone goes back to the house, collects anything obviously portable that's valuable? (and not likely to be cursed?)
Tathi:"I have had a sneaking suspicion for a while that these two are only lackies."
TMG:and are any…furnishings taken by anyone? x3
Meany:Yep.
Meany:Sszeyl takes the coffins.
Liatai:Does the party search the house, as well as the catacombs?
Dr. Hatari:I am all for express-lane looting and getting back to plot and rp x3
TMG:all of them? o.o
Techubi:So, you guys gonna add an audience token anytime soon?
Miron :Who knows.. maybe it's the corrupting effect of their art… or maybe they have recently fought someone else
Meany:Barbaur and Sszeyl jointly take the rations crate.
Meany:And yes!
Gnogglebolt:Oh yes, Gnogglebolt at least checks out the topside of the house.
Ghostwish:Except any cheese.
Ghostwish:You can guess who gets that.
Meany:Sszeyl/Barbie jointly search the house. :O
Liatai:There's just one other thing to play out, then.
Liatai:Is anyone going to the top floor?
- Sszeyl is.
Ghostwish:.. was there any cheese, DM? :>
Liatai:Balance check, Sszeyl!
Liatai:??1d2 = 1??
TMG:And Gnogglebolt
Liatai:Yes!
Miron :The vile don't generally fight for a common cause…
Sszeyl:??1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20?? Balance check!
Kor:I'm in heeaveeennn, mousy heeeaveeennn..
Gnogglebolt:Balance? ??1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20?? (don't know if small-size applies)
Liatai:Sszeyl and Gnogglebolt both make it up the stairs safely!
Sszeyl::/Sszeyl:Don't suppose I can take ten on crossing? :D
Liatai:You can, but where's the fun in that? x3
Sszeyl:It'd be a 12 anyway. :D
Sszeyl:??1d20+2 = 13 + 2 = 15?? Balance check!
Liatai:You made it! :D
TMG:how many inches wide?
- Sszeyl opens crate.
Liatai:10.
Ghostwish:in 4th edition, crate opens you!
Gnogglebolt:Balance: ??1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20??
- Faerie giggles
Gnogglebolt:Woo. x3 Gnogglebolt helps Sszeyl check out the chest and sack.
Faerie:Is 4th that bad?
Liatai:The chest contains 200 GP, and the sack next to it contains a roll of 50 feet of silk rope.
VAE:not really.. it's bad as in bad changes
VAE:but not bad as in harder
Tathi:Tathi eyes the trap door.. "Someone go get that cat…"
Ghostwish:it's bad because it isn't D&D. It's WoW on paper.
VAE:oh, did they return already?
Barbarus:A wild BARBIE appears!
Liatai:Flint, Miron, and Thomas are elsewhere, but yes.
VAE:I take it that Miron and Flint are still walking to the Palm offices
VAE:Will there be anything else going on for Flint and Miron? (if not i'll take a shower(
- Sszeyl looks at the rope, then to yonder basket, then to gnoggleblt.
Sszeyl:Evil. Evil. Grin.
Tathi:"Do be careful kitty. Looks like someone got hurt on that before."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sighs.
Liatai:Not really. Unless you want there to be something.
VAE:that sounds.. interesting
Gnogglebolt:"I'll let you if you loosen up and stop threatening me out of your own paranoia."
VAE:what could happen >:3
Barbarus:??1d20+4 = 14 + 4 = 18?? Disable device to dismantle the door;. :D
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt followed Sszeyls gaze and saw where he was going with this.
Liatai:You'd be better off trying to unlock the padlock on the trap door, Barbarus. x3
Techubi:So, no audience tokens?
Liatai:Aack! Sorry, TC!
Sszeyl:"Considering I'm finding it harder to remain sane lately. So while I'll try, no promises. :D"
VAE:but well, it's liatai's choice XD… she runs the universe.. we just control a small part of it
Barbarus:>:|
Gnogglebolt:"…wait. Hold on."
Gnogglebolt:"What do you mean by that?"
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 16 + 3 = 19?? Open lock.
Liatai:I just meant comversation-wise, VAE. x3
VAE:right.. true!
VAE:in that case , there is some more
Miron :Though Flint… the worrying thing is that the man i found about in the library still roams free.
Flint Carthan:"Mm."
Sszeyl:"Oh, just that this…view of time that you mortals have is so different from the Drow perspective….It's impossible for me to keep up. :D"
Sszeyl:"I'm having to force shutdowns of portions of my brain during Trance just to remain functional."
Gnogglebolt:"…you're saying things have been going too fast for you?"
Miron :We should be alert after this… they might try to strike back
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt's eyes widen slightly. "Er….is there any way to fix this problem?"
Flint Carthan:"Wouldn't surprise me if they did."
Sszeyl:"Not that I know of. :D"
Tathi:Tathi -carefully- heads up the stairs.
Liatai:Balance check, Tathi!
Barbarus:Ahem? :3
Dr. Hatari:Hopefully this'll be a larf.
Gnogglebolt:"…Should you at least take some time to rest? A few days, a week?"
Barbarus:Got a nineteen on my open lock.
Techubi:So, is this campaign still full up?
Tathi:Taking a 10, that would be 13..
Liatai:Clack. Not a nice click.
Miron :It plays into our cards that second in order is leaving Akellon to go after the apostate druid
Barbarus:??1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18?? Open Lock.
Miron :*castleton
Liatai:Clack.
Gnogglebolt:"Would that help?"
Sszeyl:"Was going to. Until you asked me along on this escapade. :D"
Techubi:Is this campaign still full up?
Miron :Akellon, castleton, lorellon… i keep confusing those names
Liatai:Yep, still full up, TC.
Gnogglebolt:"…Ah. Why in the world didn't you say so, Sszeyl?"
- Flint Carthan nods, still listening, but not saying much.
Sszeyl:"I tried. You didn't give me much room to say no. :D"
Tathi:"You boys having fun up here?"
Miron :Common .. the words all sound so soft, flowing into each other… Dwarven and Gnomish has much harder, clearer sound
Sszeyl:"Negotiating with the gnome so that he'll let me toss him over to the basket."
Dr. Hatari:Leaving Akellon? *goes to play space oddity* :3
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt smacks his forehead. "Alright, alright…but let's just get this over with." Gnogglebolt notices Tathi. "Oh, hello."
VAE:see above! i'm actually making it a character trait
Ghostwish:Take heart, Tech.. if it wasn't Sszeyl doing it, it would be Derish. :P
Tathi:"Well, this should be… interesting."
- Barbarus gives up on unlocking it. And goes back to trying to take the door apart. Like he was trying to do in the first place. :|
Barbarus:??1d20+4 = 20 + 4 = 24?? Disable Device.
Barbarus::DGnogglebolt:"Do you have any magic that would be of help, Tathi?"
Liatai:Clack! The door's hinges come apart.
Miron :Still… Flint.. we should convince the others to spend the night in Thomas's temple or our Society's base… Inns are public places, too public… and news like this travel quickly
- Sszeyl takes twenty on tying the rope around Gnoggle.
Tathi:"Sorry, no, I left my magical gnome catapult in my other spellbook." She says, smirking.
Miron :If the man is anything like the convictions suggest, he might become reckless and try an outright attack
Sszeyl:"Brace yourself. :D"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt shakes his head, taking off his pack with equipment.
Sszeyl:??1d20+3 = 18 + 3 = 21?? Strength check!
Gnogglebolt:He weighs…
Gnogglebolt:base 40 pounds, and with his leather armor…
Gnogglebolt:a total of 47.5 pounds
Miron :As they say… a wounded beast is the worst one to fight
Flint Carthan:"Mm. I'd feel better about it if they were somewhere close to the divine, that's for sure. But I think you're underestimating our opponent, Miron."
Flint Carthan:"Spellcasters, remember? They don't run in like berserkers… they plan, then strike."
Miron :I might be, true *Miron nods* .. but then, it's the best we can do.
TMG:so, what next?
Sszeyl:I rolled the strength check to toss the gnome. :D
Liatai:Wheeeeeee!
TMG:oh, already?
Miron :Look at it this way… if he won't strike now, it doesn't matter. If he chooses to, we shall be protected
- Barbarus peers down the hole. :o
Flint Carthan:"I'm not disagreeing with you, Brother Miron," the human says with a weak chuckle.
Liatai:You see the room with the ladder in it that you encountered in the catacombs!
Gnogglebolt:The jump is a momentary thrill, and not an altogether good one, but once he lands on the other side, he doesn't waste time and sets about checking the basket.
Barbarus::OSszeyl:"Tathi! Elros! :D"
Sszeyl:"Catch!"
Sszeyl:Ker-toss!
Liatai:There are five round tins in the basket. Does Gnogglebolt open them?
Gnogglebolt:Yes…cautiously.
Elros:Elros wonders why Gnogglebolt is being tossed.
Liatai:Four of them contain thunderstones, and one contains a beaten key.
Liatai:— Oh!
Liatai:Almost forgot!
Miron :Well enough… in any ways i hope we get into the bottom of this matter soon. I have not seen something like this for a good few years now
Gnogglebolt:"Oooh. Useful."
Liatai:Did anyone search the necromancers before they sent them off?
Sszeyl:Not I.
TMG:o.o yeah, I think -someone- would have
TMG:You don't transport potentially-armed prisoners
Miron :Usually it's one or two of them, bothering corpses at a graveyard, or trying to corrupt wildlife.
TMG:if no one else did, Gnogglebolt would have.
Meany:Neither of my characters did.
Meany::DGhostwish:session time check? :>
Liatai:Baxter's goods: a masterwork quarterstaff, a masterwork light crossbow, 20 bolts, Bracers of Armor +1, Spell Component Pouch, Disguise Kit
Dr. Hatari:I just picture a Loot All button floating below the dungeon that we never hit. ^^;
Miron :Ones so bold as to slaughter and raise this many people in such a manner..
Miron :*turns his head*
Faerie:At the sound of the tone, the time will be 20:49 EST
Faerie:Beep
VAE:00:53 here
Liatai:Baum's goods: +1 scale mail, a masterwork scythe, a light crossbow and 20 bolts, a silver unholy symbol of Nerull, a spell component pouch, a healer's kit, and three vials of unholy water.
VAE:heh.. Miron will probably bid for the bracers of armour
Liatai:It might be good to end the session soon, indeed… but first, a little roleplaying.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt holds up the four thunderstones and the key to the air to the others across the gap, then pocketed them, and signaled he was ready to come back. He takes a running jump, as Sszeyl pulls on the other end of the cord. Jump check: ??1d20-1 = 14 - 1 = 13??
Liatai:Hatari, you around?
Elros:…now that Gnogglebolt is over there, how exactly did he plan to get back?
Elros:Ah, like that.
Dr. Hatari:Quite so.
Ghostwish:I mean how much longer is this going to go? :>
Dr. Hatari:Was just typin' something at the temple. :o
- Sszeyl yanks.
Liatai:Oh, then by all means, you go first. :D
Dr. Hatari:Was something perhaps going to interrupt?
TMG:ghost; I'd say another hour or two, we've got loot to divide.
Dr. Hatari:Ok!
TMG:Tathi may go around the bend if you want. x3
Thomas Lazarus:Thomas climbs the steps to the Pelorite temple and walks on through to the back, offering weary greetings to any and all. He makes to disassemble his armor back at his quarters, and, yes - before he forgets again, sharpen that blade.
Thomas Lazarus:Time to spend the rest of the afternoon cleaning up and then assisting with services, he thinks. It'll get his mind off of things.
Liatai:Gnogglebolt barely makes it to the beam on the other side! Umph! Climb check to pull yourself up.
- Sszeyl tossed the chest and sack to Tathi. :O
Father Trebedis:"THOMAS LAZARUS."
VAE:ooh!
TMG:or Sszeyl pull on the rope, like he's supposed to? :B
VAE:that's an AWESOME token for a high level church official
Thomas Lazarus:He flinches terribly with wide eyes and shrinks a bit. "…"
Sszeyl:Dr. Hatari: Was just typin' something at the temple. :o * Sszeyl yanks.
Thomas Lazarus:"..O-oh! Good afternoon, Father."
Gnogglebolt:"Grnph! thank you."
Gnogglebolt:"Just a few thunderstones and a key. We can figure out what the key goes to later."
Father Trebedis:The priest approaches, arms folded into his robe sleeves. "Yes, good afternoon… Where have you been all day, Brother Lazarus?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt takes off the rope, and balance check to get back across the beam. ??1d20+1 = 12 + 1 = 13??
Sszeyl:??1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20?? Balance check!
Meany:If Ghost can't stay, I vote for calling session.
Liatai:I hate to say it, but I agree. I need time to compile a loot list. XD
TMG:With everything in tow, Gnogglebolt goes with the others to put it in the loot cart.
Thomas Lazarus:"Ah — eheh." He really has no hope of hiding his battle-worn kit and uniform. He clears his throat and stands. "..Well. I had been out with B—ah, Miron earlier, helping him find a.. friend of his. Or rather, a group that had been involved in the apprehension of some black magicians, of late." He frets, but tries to maintain his composure.
TMG:oh, the loot list isn't already compiled? Ah well.
Thomas Lazarus:"One thing rather lead to another - and a Leaden Mace speared group struck out this mourning to route a few Nerulian followers in east quarter."
TMG:in that case, then yeah, let's finish up end-of-session roleplaying
Thomas Lazarus:"I ah … went with them."
Dr. Hatari:Or was it west? o_o
Dr. Hatari:Oh well!
- Father Trebedis listens calmly as Thomas explains… and yes, it was east. x3
TMG:Pretty sure it was east
Liatai:West is the noble's district. :B
Gnogglebolt:nyway, some -very- important last-minute RPing before I forget.
Gnogglebolt:With everything valuable taken from the hideout…Gnogglebolt tries to brace himself for some very, very grim work.
- Thomas Lazarus dons a slightly more professional look.
Thomas Lazarus:"..We found over a dozen dead citizens under a nook and sewer grate, out there. I had no idea such a thing was even about in the city. I'm… I'm sorry for my breach of duty. I just could not let such a thing be."
VAE:oh, he's gonna bury the bodies?
VAE:or burn them , indeed?
Gnogglebolt:He gets as many tarps as he can, calls a few guards over to the beaten house, along with a morgue-master. Then, with anyone else who helps, he works on collecting the bodies of everything, not-ye-undead and undead, wraps them in a tarp, and lays them out on the surface for the morgue-master to sort through,
Father Trebedis:"Brother Lazarus, did you not tell anyone where you were going or what you were doing? Some of your fellow templars were quite concerned when they couldn't find you after the morning service."
Father Trebedis:Oh, whoops.
Father Trebedis:Missed a line. Dang scroll lock. XD One second.
Gnogglebolt:By the end of it, his cloths are obscenely bloody, and his face is streaked with tears.
Thomas Lazarus:He sighs. "I.. I am sorry, for that. I have been thoughtless once again."
Meany:Sszeyl and Barbarus help, but they show no emotion besides boredom.
Elros:Elros helps Gnogglebolt with the task, trying to look as businesslike as he can about it.
Meany:And Sszeyl keeps the Drow skeleton.
Gnogglebolt:He knew that every mutilated and violated body was once a real person, and that anyone could be so cruel…
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, for once, is far too emotionally exhausted to care what Sszeyl does with the drow skeleton.
Meany:Barbarus dotes on his golden dagger and collection of gems. D:Meany::D*
Father Trebedis:"…" The elder priest continues to listen, a small frown on his face. "Sometimes… our Lord leads us to where our true duties lie."
Gnogglebolt:When all is said and done, Gnogglebolt buys new clothes, and burns the ones he was wearing. He then heads to the Bronze Boot to meet up with everyone else to get the spoils sorted through.
- Thomas Lazarus closes his eyes and frowns.
TMG:-1 gp
TMG:deduct'd
Faerie:To the boot map?
Meany:Session is ending.
Liatai:Why, Tech? He was still wearing his peasant clothes.
Faerie:Oh, or that.
Thomas Lazarus:"It's not a templar's lot to go about, presuming to crusade like a knight. I have my duties, and I neglected them. The church could have needed me while I was off doing … well …"
Liatai:And yes, the session's wrapping up as soon as this bit at the temple is done.
TMG:hmm? Oh, right, he was still wearing the rags under his armor (which he took off before the work)…
TMG:Okay then, he just has the rags burned
TMG:Thanks for the reminder!
Thomas Lazarus:"—I'm just sorry. I didn't have the patience or peace of soul I should have maintained to remain. Again."
Liatai:Oops, I'm sorry, I'll be right back. ^^;; Assume the priest is calmly listening to what Thomas has to say.
Dr. Hatari:It's cool, gonna catch up. :o
TMG:(and for when you get back Liatai, I am curious as to what the general attitude/reactions from the guards and the morgue-master were…)
Meany:E.Meany:X.Meany:P.Meany::DVAE:also, the Palm's reaction to the documents
VAE:and the general stuff we are carrying off there
Dr. Hatari:Level 3 forevvveeerrr. :B
VAE:indeed
Ghostwish:Nominations? :>
Meany:Tathi for Killing Blow on the owlbear.
Ghostwish:You mean saving Sszeyl's ass. :P
Meany:Gnoggle for standing up to a rampaging Drow.
Meany:Miron for Force Palm!
Dr. Hatari:Why do you think I cast Shield on him?
Meany:Elros for intimidating a witness.
Dr. Hatari:He does things like that. :P
Meany:Thomas for Fallen Comerade.
Ghostwish:Barbarus for loot'o'matic
TMG:If you let go of your principals, you're no better than what you fight. xP
VAE:I nominate Sszeyl for inventive torture methods
Ghostwish:Thomas for surviving COME AT ME BRO part 2.
VAE:Also tech, i disagree deeply if anything
Faerie:Barbarus for the Bender Rodreguez Memorial Award.
- Faerie nods
VAE:well, but that shows In-game XD
Dr. Hatari:Hahaha
VAE:Also i nominate Barbarus for Fat Cat capitalism
Faerie:I dunno. I don't think he's fat. x3
VAE:Profit should be always only in the first place
VAE:At this pace, and being a kitty butcher he soon will be XD
Liatai:Back, reading up!
Father Trebedis:"… Over two dozen," the priest mumbles, sounding somewhat disbelieving. "Did you find those responsible? Were there any… additional casualties?"
Liatai:A few younger guards have reactions similar to Gnogglebolt, but the older guards and morgue-master are keeping an air of professionalism and respect.
Thomas Lazarus:"My comrades brought those responsible to the courthouse. They'll likely enter the Palm's custody within the day." He pauses. "By Pelor's mercy, I was about to see to it that no one else died." He takes a moment to unwrap the chain from his gauntlet and shows the extra holy symbol he found.
Thomas Lazarus:"I was not the first, though."
Techubi:Where is everyone right now?
TMG:nowhere specific
Dr. Hatari:Non-map RP space, I think.
VAE:exactly
Father Trebedis:"… By the Sun's light." He takes the holy symbol (if allowed) and looks it over.
Dr. Hatari:Or, perhaps on that second story map I dunno. x3
Tathi:You took your eyes off the wood elf for a second, didn't you? Great, now she's probably off at some library…
VAE:Flint and Miron are walking to the Palm's office
Thomas Lazarus:He hands it over, and frowns.
Thomas Lazarus:"..I was filled with fury by what I saw. I did not want to give those men any mercy - any chance to account for what they've done before the law. I have been filled with.. doubts, today."
Thomas Lazarus:"I do not know whether to take it as one of the Lord's tests, or weakness within myself."
Ghostwish:PRAIZE GEEBUS
Dr. Hatari:LAWDY.
Ghostwish:*flees from the mob*
Meany:Exp? :[
Ghostwish:None for you, failfart.
TMG:I'm enjoying watching this, actually…
Dr. Hatari:(I thought this was one of those 'you just level tonight!' campaigns. >.>)
VAE:heh
- Father Trebedis winds the chain of the holy symbol around his hand, then looks back to Thomas. "Know this, at least, for certain, Brother Lazarus… you have done a great act for the good of the people of the city today. Do what you must today — whether it be returning to your duties, or taking some time to collect your thoughts. On the morn, tomorrow, however, come to see me after the service."
VAE:also Nice play of a religious fanatic overall, Hatari! I nominate him for an RP award alongside Sszeyl and Barb
Thomas Lazarus:"..Yes, Father."
TMG:fanatic?
Ghostwish:Nomination seconded. :>
VAE:Let's hope he doesn't end up like Archbishop Lazarus
TMG:there was nothing fanatical that I saw o.O
VAE:he is extremely devoted to pelor
Dr. Hatari:I'm good with leaving it off there.
VAE:that's all fanaticism is
VAE:comes from the word for temple
GM:In fact, you will level tonight, because of the EXP that everyone has recieved — 900 XP for the dungeon, and 100 for roleplay! Now I need to scroll up and read nominations. x3
VAE:so, 6000 so fat
VAE:*so far
Dr. Hatari:I had http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhSYbRiYwTY on loop for the entire church sequence. x3
VAE:updated
TMG:Adding EXP to token…
VAE:FUCK
TMG:and -saving- token…
VAE:EMI has blocked the video here
Dr. Hatari:Haha, what?
Dr. Hatari:Ah.
VAE:what is it? i wanna do a search
Dr. Hatari:It's Space Oddity, by Ziggy Stardust. It's really weird. x3
Dr. Hatari:He just says Tom like a million times and plays the guitar. :B
Ghostwish:.. I am just shaking my head at how many people bitch about lady gaga in the comments….
Dr. Hatari:Oh wait, no. I thought that was some handle. Guess Ziggy is a different song~
Ghostwish:Naw, that's David Bowie.
Dr. Hatari:It's just a hair phase Bowie.
Sszeyl:??1d8+1 = 8 + 1 = 9?? HP.
Sszeyl::DLiatai:Woo! :D
TMG:oh yeah! HP!
Liatai:Any other nominations before I continue?
Ghostwish:I nominate the DM.
Ghostwish:For pure awesomeness.
Ghostwish:Anyone who does not second will be shot.
Ghostwish:With love.

Faerie:1d6+con?
TMG:Alex; no, you'

TMG:you're a ranger. I think you're 1d8
Faerie:Ah, right.
GM:Barbarus - 150 XP - Loot O'Matic. -50 XP for sandwiching the party between undead in your search, though.
Dr. Hatari:Hahaha
GM:Sszeyl - 200 XP - Actually talking about what's going on with the party! There, was that so hard? :P
Ghostwish:Bwaaahahaha. Yah, that'd get you kill in a hurry in Cold War.
GM:Gnogglebolt - 100 XP - Stick To Your Guns. Stick to the plan, don't torture the necromancers!
GM:Tathi - 100 XP - Single-Minded Bookworm - Torture? Interrogation? PFFT. I'm reading.
Ghostwish:"Lovely. You've aggroed Bloody Links AND Clint. The meter for how fucked you are just exploded."
Elros:??1d8+0 = 3 + 0 = 3??
Ghostwish:*SNRK*
Elros:Eh. It's not a 1.
TMG:hmm…
TMG:I shall roll. What the hey.
Ghostwish:Putting my point into intelligence. :>
Liatai:Oh-ho, that's right!
Gnogglebolt:HP! ??1d6 = 6??
VAE:Oh, HP rolls?
Meany:Sszeyl no get point. :[
TMG:Whoaaaaaaa :O
Liatai:Level 4 equals a stat upgrade! :D
Dr. Hatari:I'll play the odds, as usual. Half-die rule.
Liatai:… except Sszeyl and Barbarus.
VAE:kVAE:the extra point goes into wisdom
TMG:why not sszeyl and barb?
Liatai:They have level adjustments.
Meany:LA.
TMG:isn't there a stat upgrade at ECL equivalent, or is it really class-only?
VAE:now.. my HD is d6, right?
Ghostwish:I shall go over spells at a later time. Anything else for me? :>
Liatai:It's HD-dependent, like feats, I believe.
Ghostwish:Clerics are a d8.
Dr. Hatari:I don't know whether to boost strength from 17 to 18 or dexterity from 11 to 12. Hmmm~
Liatai:Only one more thing, Ghost!
VAE:i aren't a cleric
Ghostwish:Aye? ^^
VAE:i are archivist
Ghostwish:What is you?
Ghostwish:Oh.
TMG:oh, hit dice, right
Ghostwish:d2 then.
Ghostwish::PLiatai:Do you want to try to learn one of the spells from the spellbook before you level up?
VAE:… yeah
VAE:Who?
Liatai:Tathi.
Ghostwish:Oooo, what could I learn?
Liatai:Well, do you Read Magic on the book? x3
Ghostwish:I does. :>
VAE:also.. i should ask Flint about the *other* scroll

Liatai:Tathi doesn't know Detect Magic? XD Wow. Okay. Roll that Spellcraft check!
VAE:OK.. as for HP
Ghostwish:??1d20+5 = 3 + 5 = 8??!
Ghostwish:fffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Dr. Hatari:lullersk8s
Liatai:It's OK. You can try again after levelling up. :D
VAE:Am not wanting to eff up the niceness so far, so i take 3, and add another 3 as per my con modifier
Liatai:That's why I offered the chance now.
VAE:giving me 32 HP
Ghostwish:phew. ^^
Ghostwish:allrighty, I be off! Bye bye!
Liatai:Bye!
Dr. Hatari:Goodnight.
Meany:Seeya.
VAE:lawl

Liatai:I'll leave the server up for people to update their tokens… Oh. Hmm.
VAE:also, did Flint level up as well?
Liatai:That's what I was just checking. XD
Dr. Hatari:I wonder what his GAAASP
- Dr. Hatari searches his image dump.
Liatai:… Can NPCs get nominations? He's 100 XP away from a level. XD
VAE:Indeed
VAE:I'll nominate him for being an awesome ally
Ghostwish:I nominate him for being the only one WITH ANY COMMON SENSE. :P
VAE:you know, the whole thing about protection and nepotism
Flint Carthan:Levelled up from common sense! Woo! XD ??1d8+2 = 5 + 2 = 7?? HP roll.
VAE:oh ghost, you won't like this
Ghostwish:yes I will.
Ghostwish:BECAUSE I AM DEFIANT.

Ghostwish:There is no savin throw against evocations.
Ghostwish:only getting the BLEEP OUT OF THE WAY
Liatai:Okay, I'll leave the server up for updating tokens, but I'm heading back to the IRC. :3
VAE:and i get 2 moar spell slots!
