Meany:Spamming Ghost. :P
Faerie has connected.
Liatai:It's a Fae! :D
Faerie:So it is. :o
- Faerie is half tenpted to bring up Miranda, because it's easter and she's a bunny, but eh. Actual session today.
Liatai:Hehehe x3
Faerie:Oh, hey, this build tells you when someone is typing.
Liatai:I'll keep my promise; if someone rolls a natural 20 on search or spot, you'll find Easter eggs. x3
Liatai:… taking 20 doesn't count. :P
- Faerie was just about to say this build is exactly the same, but…apparently not, x3
Faerie:And duly noted.
RAM has connected.
Dr. Hatari:I keep thinking Terri is in the party when I notice Edaric in my peripheral vision. >:o
Liatai:x3Meany::PEdaric:"Who is this Terri you keep talking about?"
Ezer:Where's Elros disappear to? :B
RAM:Random Access Memory is available.
Liatai:He was standing atop a mountain of dead wolves. :B
Faerie:Ah, yes, there we go. Missed his token for a moment.
Liatai:Just missing Ghost and VAE now… ah, here's something to bring up while we wait. :3
Liatai:If you play your cards right today, you may have up to five NPC allies travelling with you, not counting the hawk.
Liatai:What would you guys say to having control of an NPC each during battle, of your choice? :3
Liatai:We have six players, and if we count the hawk, six NPCs.
Meany:Hmm.
Meany:I wouldn't mind, provided their tokens are detailed. :3
Dr. Hatari:While I'm not really dying to suddenly have a more or less stranger persona to control, I certainly don't mind lifting some of the action economy pressure off of you by having one or two act.
Liatai:You haven't seen my token notes, have you. :B
Meany:I saw the loot notes.
Meany::PRAM:That's a lot of wolves.
Liatai:Don't worry, when it comes to dialogue, I'll keep control, and there are notes on each token about basic personality/goals.
Liatai:Yes it is. x3
Liatai:It's just so you guys aren't sitting there while I roll attack after attack. ^^;
Dr. Hatari:Hmmm. Did we get exp for the encounters thus far?
Dr. Hatari:I notice we're not all that far from leveling.
Liatai:I believe so. Let me check last game's log.
Liatai:Yep, you got EXP.
Dr. Hatari:That's probably why, then. x3
Dr. Hatari:"WOOOOOOLF OCEAAAAAN D:" *One struggling hand, sinking into wolves*
Liatai:But you guys did admirably in stemming the tide, I must say. :3
RAM:I CAST FLARE!
Liatai:Hardly a scratch on you all! :D
TMG:*is stilly glowy over formation plan having worked ^^ *
RAM:SEARCH FOR TRAPS!
RAM:SEARCH FOR HIDDEN WALLS!
RAM:SEARCH FOR INVISIBLE TRAPS!
TMG:YOU FIND ALL ZERO TRAPS.
RAM:XDLiatai:Hehe, weeeeell, there was that pit trap… XP
Liatai:Which, in retrospect, I should have made 10 or 20 feet deeper. But oh well! x3
RAM:You see, if you followed tradition, you would have found that trap!
Dr. Hatari:You can just say the druids were lazy.
Liatai:"… ehhhhh that's good enough. :B"
Dr. Hatari:"OH my god this is tough! How deep is it? - -;"
RAM:Ooh, I get to be a Mow this time!
VAE has connected.
Audience Mow:Chitter-mrr?
Meany:YoVae.
- VAE mrows
Liatai:Oh, yes! VAE, Miron now has a light crossbow and 18 bolts. :3
Ghostwish has connected.
Miron:Gah!? By the mace of saint Cuthbert… where am i? And.. why am i holding a crossbow?
TMG:…hey hatari. At the risk of throwing you out of character, do you think this fits Marius? :B http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyFIx2-DrZs
VAE:Liatai:*ahem* Smileys off please? :3
Dr. Hatari:H'o boy.
TMG:…a rocking Marius, but still. x3
VAE:crap
VAE:bloody smileys because of bloody new maptool
Ghostwish:Just a heads up: I will vanish for a bit for grocery shopping. :>
TMG:Possession time!
Ghostwish:Yup!
TMG:I wonder who it will be this time…
Dr. Hatari:The wedding procession theme at first threw me a bit. x3
TMG:hatari; ah, heh. xD
Ghostwish:yah, same, I was like.. wtf? XD
Ghostwish:brb, makin' soup!
Faerie::)* VAE possesses Tathi
- Faerie makes sure his smilies are off.
VAE:….strip naked , strip naked….
Faerie:Fr some reason, b66 and b85 picked up the settings from b63. o.o
Dr. Hatari:But to answer your question, it's not bad. Perhaps a battle theme. Wanna know something really ridiculous? The stuff I actually listened to for Marius?
TMG:alex; they're supposed to.
Liatai:What was it?
TMG:All maptol versions pull your preferences and setting from the same place
TMG:dunno what happened to danman here
Dr. Hatari:Michael Buble http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uZpBnBv34Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_ig1gkgoQc
Dr. Hatari:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_ig1gkgoQc
TMG:hokay, once ghost is done making his soup, we open the session?
TMG:*checks logs to get back in character, thogh I remember fairly clearly where we left off)
GM:Let's hear everyone weigh in on something first. I've heard Meany and Hatari's thoughts, but…
VAE:you have heard their thoughts?
VAE:crap, i wanna do that too
VAE:muswt be the cubi avatar
VAE:(token, really)
Faerie:TMG: Ah, I see. I wondered if that was it.
GM:If you play your cards right today, you may have up to five NPC allies travelling with you, not counting the hawk. What would you guys say to having control of an NPC each during battle, of your choice? :3 We have six players, and if we count the hawk, six NPCs. Don't worry, when it comes to dialogue, I'll keep control, and there are notes on each token about basic personality/goals. It's just so you guys aren't sitting there while I roll attack after attack. ^^;
Faerie:Sure, why not?
VAE:0TMG:Oh :o
VAE:i'll go with the majority… i kinda like both options
TMG:Hmm.
Ghostwish:Sounds fun. :>
TMG:Sure. If necessary, I can shanghai one of the NPCs for comba
TMG:*combat
- Dr. Hatari is now stuck listening to Buble' jazzin'. =3=
Ghostwish:I had considered having the party of Cold War take control of the Wild Things for a bit. :>
GM:Sounds like we have consensus, then! :D
GM:So, once we get dialogue out of the way, I'll call for people to claim who they want to control. :3
GM:Hatari, I think you already laid claim to Koehel, didn't you? XP
Dr. Hatari:x3Audience Mow:Mrr!
Dr. Hatari:I was just screwing around, of course. But I'd gladly shoulder the druidic duo.
VAE:nice
Liatai:Hehe, it's up to you. :3 They're all up for grabs.
Faerie:Darned murry-purry furry audience.
Faerie:>.>
VAE:for no reason at all, when i minimise it, this maptool's text input bar seems to fill with random text from above (before i begin typing)
VAE:funny, now it stopped doing it !?
Dr. Hatari:Haven't had the problem?
VAE:and now again… it seems to be triggered by me reading stuff in openoffice
Liatai:Anyway, before we get started, there's one more piece of business to sort out.
VAE:?Liatai:Who's carrying the spare wand of Cure Light Wounds?
Liatai:The one found in the encampment?
TMG:definitely not Gnogglebolt :o
Dr. Hatari:I proposed that Miron get it.
VAE:Miron would volunteer i guess
VAE:after all, besides beaming friends , it's handy against undead
Liatai:All right. It has 27/50 charges left. :3
TMG:we're not supposed to know that. x3
Miron:crap
TMG:"Cure wand! Cure wand! Cure wand! *fizz* "uh…"
Dr. Hatari:It has one of those AVP pulse rifle digital displays on the side.
Liatai:You're not? Huh. Oh well. :B
Miron:impersonation graphi
Miron:cs messes up
Miron:for example , the enter between i and cs, i didn't type
Thomas Lazarus:test
VAE:apparently, i need to impersonate stuff twice before i get it working nice
Dr. Hatari:You seem to be having a handful of unique issues.
VAE:i do… i'll test it once i finish reading saph's stuff
Audience Mow:The aAudience Mow is having no such trouble. "Chitter-mrr?"
VAE:it could be OOffice interacting unwell with maptool
GM:Righto! Roll call! Is everyone ready and in-character?
TMG:(folks who know roondar, check liatalk. x3 )
Meany:Not I.
TMG:Present!
Meany:Need to go get food.
Dr. Hatari:I'm in.. Marius character. This will not do. =3=;;
VAE:something else, though
TMG:Working on getting IC >.>
Faerie:Huh what?
VAE:any specific explanation for miron being unusually silent and robot-like last session?
Audience Mow:"Mrr!" MOW ATTACK HUGS!
VAE:for Tathi, we have possessions, and trofim was just trofim
Dr. Hatari:Nothing in particular. ^^;
Liatai:Not really. ^^;
Ghostwish:BACK!
GM:Just speak up when you're ready and in-character. :3
TMG:Hokay…I'm close enough.
TMG:Ready.
Audience Mow:"Mow?"
Ghostwish:which map are we on again?
TMG:Forest C
GM:Last session in Akellon… The Vigilant Guardians struck out on their witch-hunt at long last. Trekking through the forest, they encountered a number of obstacles in the form of ravens, giant wolves, potentially deadly vines, and now, most recently, a whole pack of fiendish wolves, which had been surrounding a small hollowed-out hill and closing in on what sounded like two people. Now, as the last of the wolves fall, we rejoin our adventurers…
TMG:Resposting last line…
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt:"Excellent! Now, let's find out who the largest group of wolves we've seen so far are attacking, and why…" Liatai:Though I think we'll leave off the who and why until next session. :3 Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at the animal that's been following him, and gestures "Come on!"
VAE:test
TMG:yo* Dr. Hatari offers thumbs-up.
Miron:the hell
Miron:as screwed up as ever
Miron:me tries to restart
TMG:…huh?
Miron:i'll take a screenshot
VAE is disconnected.
Dr. Hatari:Hmmm.
VAE has connected.
Miron:crap
Lizardfolk Man:"Luethil, hold your ground; you aren't going to believe this." A rather large lizardfolk man, holding a rough wooden shield and what looks like a stout tree limb, places a clawed foot on one of the wolf corpses and peers out of the cavern at the group.
Miron:if anyone cares to see the lack of impersonation graphics, http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dm510/bloodymaptool.png
Dr. Hatari::xTMG:um…try moving your chat window around
TMG:doc it at the bottom, see what happens there
TMG:*dock
Meany:back
Dr. Hatari:That actually seems normal to me, except for the chat window docked at the right instead of the bottom?
TMG:hatari; no, check the box where he inputs text
VAE:um , look at where i am typing text in the window
TMG:I see what he's talking about
Dr. Hatari:Oh, I see.
TMG:so that's why I suggested he redock the chatwindow, that might do something.
VAE:moving it helps sometimes, but then the window gets corrupted
Lizardfolk Man:"Ho there!" he calls. A haggard-looking elven woman holding another stout tree limb peers around the lizardman.
VAE:and it happens more often, too
TMG:well, crap.
TMG:Dunno what to tell you.
VAE:i'll try to see if there is update for java
Tathi:"Are you allright?" Tathi calls.
- VAE has some wants to claw tech :3
TMG:It's an issue only for you though, so it must be on your end
TMG:it's not the version
Dr. Hatari:Atleast it still seems functional.
VAE:old maptool didn't do it though
Faerie:VAE: …what OS are you using?
Barbarus:"Kethanis."
Lizardfolk Man:"We'll live," he says gruffly.
VAE:Slackware linux 13.1
Barbarus:"I need you to punch me. :|"
Kethanis Whitebranch:"… What?"
Faerie:Ah, I see. o.o
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt starts heading forward 9presumably with everyone else) to approach the cave.
Thomas Lazarus:The (still titanic) templar kneels and wipes both sides of his blade in the grass. What a slaughter.
Barbarus:"Little cloud tradition is to make use of everything from a kill. And…and I can't just leave these gorgeous pelts, and strong skeletons behind! Dx"
Barbarus:Barbie holds his head, and tries to look away from the pretty corpses.
Barbarus:« 1d20+2 = 15 + 2 = 17 » Will save!
Gnogglebolt:"Ho there…oh my. Ah, hello."
Kethanis Whitebranch:"A noble tradition…"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt does rather slow down when he sees the lizardfolk, but continues to approach.
- Thomas Lazarus quirks a brow at 'gorgeous' pelts.
VAE:i'll try to update java.. this is using 6u20 as opposed to 6u24
TMG:(you'll probably have to reboot MT entirely for it to take effect )
VAE:see ya in a while ( i know that)
Audience Mow:The Audience Mow chitters and mrrs and gives Mow hugs.
VAE is disconnected.
Gnogglebolt:"Ah…what is your name, good sir?" Gnogglebolt asks. Might as well get the basics out of the way
Audience Mow:MOW ATTACK HUG!
Gnogglebolt:Argh! Fluffy fluffy dooooom! (noncanon)
Lizardfolk Man:The lizardfolk bows. Awfully formal for a big scaly creature! "I am Jalzar. The woman behind me is Luethil… and we are in your debt."
Wild Elf Woman:"You're not Briarclaw," says the elven woman, leaning heavily against the wall of the cave and surveying the group. "And you're too well-equipped to be her sick 'prey.' Who are you?"
Thomas Lazarus:Tom slides away the old sword & board and draws a wand of curing. He stoops a bit and taps Elros' side for « 1d8+1 = 6 + 1 = 7 » curing, and then himself for « 1d8+1 = 7 + 1 = 8 ».
Tathi:"An adventuring party, out to heal the sickness that has gripped this forest."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods approvingly at the lizardfolk man. Formality, and admittance of debt? Very good signs.
Gnogglebolt:"We're hopefully the ones to end these Briarclaw."
Jalzar:"Then we are on the same side."
- Thomas Lazarus also dismisses the magic from earlier. Shrink!
VAE has connected.
Audience Mow:And give Mow hugs!
Ghostwish:sounds like a personnel problem, Thomas.
Meany:YoVAE.
VAE:someone mind centering me?
Dr. Hatari:He just really likes Pelor I guess.
Ghostwish:XPGnogglebolt:"We are the Vigilant Guardians. I am Gnogglebolt Sparkgear, and these are my other companions." Gnogglebolt lets them introduce themselves.
TMG:(whispering to VAE )
Elros:Elros thanks Tom for the healing, then goes with Gnogglebolt to see who the two that they've just rescued are.
VAE:and now it seems to work
Barbarus:Sorry, but Barbie is too busy fighting urge to make fabulous clothes from the Wolves.
Barbarus:And waiting for Kethanis to punch him. :B
VAE:heh, Miron would wholeheartedly agree
Kethanis Whitebranch:"… well… I do hate to imagine what taint might be left behind in the forest if we simply leave them to rot…"
Audience Mow:MOW HUGS FOR BARBIE TO DISTRACT!
VAE:Undead = nuisance
VAE:wolves = SCARY fleabag bastards!
Gnogglebolt:"Though, I must ask. You were being attacked by the largest pack of the witche's minions we have seen yet. What did you do to earn her ire so?"
Dr. Hatari:Fiendish fleas. D:Luethil Aellonor:"Survived," the elf says gruffly.
Tathi:Tathi smirks. "I hope they ticked her off quite greatly. Now what exactly did you survive?"
- Thomas Lazarus wipes his brow while trundling up.
Thomas Lazarus:"Are either of you hurt?"
Jalzar:"We were captives of the witch Briarclaw…" He nods to the priest. "Luethil is injured more grievously than I."
VAE:hmm, still some minor text retention issues, but nothing compared to the previous lack of redraw
Tathi:"Oh! Sorry to hear that, but could that mean you know where her encampment is?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt's eyes widen slightly. "Ahh. So you escaped from her. I see."
Thomas Lazarus:He nods and approaches openly. Heal check to assess both their wounds.
Jalzar:"Not exactly, gnome. We were released. Seperately, but for the same purpose."
Thomas Lazarus:« 1d20+6 = 14 + 6 = 20 »
Tathi:Tathi nods a bit. "Sport?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then blinks. "…do elaborate?"
Luethil Aellonor:"Exercising her damn wolves," the elf says with a grim nod.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt furrows his brow, but then shakes it off.
VAE:oh wow
VAE:another book reminder
Dr. Hatari:..Huh?
Elros:"Are there more captives?"
Gnogglebolt:"Well, that was her mistake it seems. She committed significant assets to this 'sport', and now they are eliminated…"
VAE:Illeana Ronay, "bitch" or "wolfess"
Tathi:Tathi nods again. "Thought so. Well, at least now we know this witch to be both sadistic and arrogant as well."
Liatai:The two are both sporting bite wounds, but Jalzar spoke truly; Luethil is far more injured. Luethil - 19/41 HP. Jalzar - 26/31 HP.
VAE:able to command wolves somehow
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods at Tathi. "And we can use this against her, perhaps."
- Tathi feels so small and puny at 11/11.
Elros:"I doubt that she planned on us showing up, however. I would not want to face these wolves on my own."
Gnogglebolt:"We may be able to goad her into making mistakes when we face her directly."
- Jalzar nods. "I, for one, would not care to think of what would have happened had you not arrived when you did."
Elros:Elros nods at Gnogglebolt approvingly
Thomas Lazarus:"Don't mind me," Tom whispers while performing a bit of divine surgery on them both. Luethil! « 3d8+3 = 8 + 3 = 11 » Jalzar! « 1d8+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 »
- Thomas Lazarus squints. What a bad job!
Barbarus:"…Not really helping the keeping them from being used vibe, Kethanis. But okay!"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks back to Jalzar. "I do have a question. Might you know exactly how Briarclaw raises all these blackwolves? Does she summon them, or keep them naturally?"
Gnogglebolt:"And if she summons them, do you know if she has a limit?"
- Thomas Lazarus isn't one to leave wounds behind. He mutely pours some more positive energy into the strangers. Luethil! « 2d8+2 = 3 + 2 = 5 » Jalzar! « 1d8+1 = 6 + 1 = 7 »
Tathi:Tathi quirks a brow. "You seem awfully knowledgable in the ways of magic for someone who abhors it, Gnogglebolt."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt actually flinches.
- Jalzar frowns. "I am no mage — thank you, priest. They are not summoned, I know this much."
Barbarus:"Okay, who has the map?"
Miron:Miron nods : Know thy enemy, see?
Tathi:"Perhaps my early theory is right then. They are simply tainted, normal wolves."
Barbarus:"Oi!"
Barbarus:"Who has the map?"
Gnogglebolt:"Ah…well, magic does exist in mazio, and it's easy enough to observe." Though clearly there's more to that story.
- Thomas Lazarus backs off with a small nod and sheathes the (slightly smoking) cure wand.
Thomas Lazarus:"I can see you're both quite hardy souls. Good thing."
Kethanis Whitebranch:"I have a map, Barbarus, though I believe some others have maps."
Tathi:"Mmmm hmmm.." Says Tathi, quite clearly rolling very high on her sense motive.
Gnogglebolt:He then perks up? "Not summoned? Excellent! That means her forces do have a finite amount and she cannot increase them easily."
Barbarus:"Oh, good. :V"
Luethil Aellonor:"I hope not. Would make everything we've been doing for the past two months meaningless."
Barbarus:"Could you mark this place off on it? Should make removing the corpses so much easier."
Gnogglebolt:"…though, I am concered that she has thrown away her forces in such large number -thus far-. She may not be able to readily increase their numbers, but it seems she already had many to start with."
Kethanis Whitebranch:"Certainly!"
Tathi:"She might not, Gnogglebolt. Arrogant, remember?"
Barbarus:"Also, if what they're blathering about it true, and these are just tainted normal wolves, perhaps we could save some pups before they're tainted."
Barbarus:"Get the local packs repopulated."
- Kethanis Whitebranch nods, with a determined cast to his face.
Miron:erk! why would you want to do that?
Barbarus:"The world needs predators, Miron."
Miron:Wolves are a danger… tainted ones just more so
Kethanis Whitebranch:"It would help to restore balance to this ravaged ecosystem."
Tathi:"I actually agree with Barbarus' statement. Let's try and restore the balance this witch is tearing apart."
Miron:Um… the people who live in the village make for just as good predators as any wolf… and a less dangerous one
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to Tathi. "Entirely possible. Though still, simply voicing the possibility so we do not underestimate her."
Barbarus:"Nature is a bit more hearty than we give it credit for. The packs will repopulate sooner or later, this way just speeds up the process."
Jalzar:"There have been other captives. We have done our best to aid them… but." The lizardfolk looks at the dead wolves. "… Some were not as fortunate as we have been."
- Thomas Lazarus looks to the others, but doesn't comment on the wolf issue.
Tathi:"Well then, time to decide. Shall we press on towards the camp now, or rest for the night?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt closes his eyes and sharply breaths for a moment, but shakes it off. "She will pay for what she has done."
Luethil Aellonor:"For the night? It's not even noon yet!"
Barbarus:"The magic-users need time to regenerate."
Miron:*rolls eyes* not like the wolves do any good besides being pets and footsoldiers to power-hungry druids
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances at Tathi. "it is still very early in the day, and we are only about an hour from the area where she probably is."
Thomas Lazarus:"Well.. I actually rather think that should be up to you, Miss Tathi. That was a lot of fire and blasts. I still have plenty of blessings left unspent."
Gnogglebolt:"I, for one, do not want to let my guard down so close to her lair."
Gnogglebolt:"This is also why I was trying to tell you to conserve your best power during the fight with the wolves."
Gnogglebolt:"We must press on."
Tathi:Tathi smirks. "In that case, let's press on. I've got plenty more of, what did you call them? Fire and blasts? Yes, plenty more to go."
Jalzar:"Wait."
Thomas Lazarus:"Eheh."
Jalzar:"Luethil, the bag. They may find something of use there."
Luethil Aellonor:"Right."
Gnogglebolt:"Anyway…"Gnogglebolt approaches Jalzar (though is noticely -slightly- hesitant, at the lizardfolk's large size in comparison to his small gnome form), and shows him the map they have.
Tathi:Tathi blinks. "Bag?"
Gnogglebolt:"We departed from the village of Redtree yesterday. They have suffered at the hands of Briarclaw, too. You may find refuge with them if you wish, tell them the Vigilant Guardians sent you."
Thomas Lazarus:"Do mind the assassin vine.." He nods to Gnogglebolt.
Gnogglebolt:"And yes, do mind the assasin vine along this path…"
- Jalzar looks to the group. "If there is anything we can do to help you bring down that witch, it is absolutely offered. Including things we have salvaged from her agents." He nods to the bag. "Beyond what we need for survival, of course, which we've already taken."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up with a raised eyebrow, and begins folding away the map.
VAE:what state are they in?
Ghostwish:Texas.
VAE:and how well off? (i wasn't here last session)
VAE:Texans? do they have shotguns?
Gnogglebolt:"I won't insult you by even asking if you know the risks." he says with a bare smile. He turns to the others. "Well, Guardians? What say you? More assets for the fight?"
Faerie:If they're Texans, probably.
Miron:If they can hold a weapon,yes
Faerie:Ask Tony though.
Tathi:Tathi shrugs simply. "Their choice, ultimately."
- Faerie needs tea badly. Can't concentrate. :B
Luethil Aellonor:"After that, and finally meeting a hunting party keen on taking down that bitch? Walking through the forest alone again? Pfah!"
Miron:every man we have in addition counts.
TMG:(heh, no worries, alex x3 )
- Jalzar holds up his tree branch. "Simple weapons, but they will do. We have salvaged a few pieces of equipment from her agents, as well."
Miron:Miron nods: Come on then. Saint Cuthbert smiles when the righteous take up arms against evil.
Dr. Hatari:Let's see.. hmm.. Luethil - 34/41 HP. Jalzar - 31/31 HP.
Gnogglebolt:He turns back to Jalzar and Luethil. "Well then, any prowess you have to bring to bear would be most welcome."
- Thomas Lazarus bats Luethil with the curing wand a few more times while giving one gash a particularly cross look. What a fussy priest. « 2d8+2 = 13 + 2 = 15 »
Thomas Lazarus:"There we are."
Luethil Aellonor:"Much obliged."
Faerie:You know, I have this theory about the nature of—ooh, shiney internets.
- Jalzar nods.
Faerie:>.>
Jalzar:"Of course, you're welcome to anything in the bag… or even the bag itself. It seems to hold far more than it should be able to."
VAE:also , lia
Tathi:Tathi's eyes light up. "May I see that bag?"
VAE:did you use any spells besides the one dark knowledge check with Miron?
Thomas Lazarus:Tom seems content, finally, that the strangers are in good health. He looks to Gnogglebolt and offers an apolegetic smile. "Say what, now?"
Luethil Aellonor:"Go right ahead."
Liatai:Cause Fear once.
Tathi:Tathi carefully inspects the bag, wizard style. Spellcraft, I think?
Dr. Hatari:Knowledge arcana, I believe. It's not a spell, but a phenomenon.
Jalzar:"I will warn you. Some of the things we've salvaged are… on the odd side."
Dr. Hatari:Or… phenomena. I forget which is plural and singular.
VAE:so.. he should have one that and two dooms and one cure left in first slot?
Audience Mow:Can Mow hugs give bonuses to checks?
VAE:phenomenon is singular
Jalzar:"Excuse me. I'm going to fetch the pipe before we leave."
Dr. Hatari:Says the foreigner to the native english speaker. Thanks. x3
VAE:if you want an utterly silly mnemonics, think Agamemnon - he was one ,too
VAE:(silly because it's unrelated)
Ghostwish:(cold war folks, peek at irc for a sec, thankye)
VAE:and i believe phenomenon comes from greek, so it isn't anything to do with native- non native
Liatai:Spellcraft would work, Tathi.
Audience Mow:Mow husg for circumstance bonus, Tailed One?
Dr. Hatari:More like penalty. D:VAE:uh..anything concerning Miron coming up?
Liatai:Silly Mow, you're on the other side of the fourth wall. :B
VAE:meh guts are in a state of rebellion.. might gotta run
Audience Mow:Aww…
Audience Mow:Sad Mow.
Tathi:« 1d20+11 = 16 + 11 = 27 » spellcraft!, or +13 if its evocation!
TMG:"No digestion without representation!"
VAE:aahahahaha
Dr. Hatari:The battle of colon!
Liatai:If you do, no worries. I'll just drag Miron along. :3
- Faerie snerks
VAE:epic puns ya two
TMG:(I can't claim credit for that one, though. OotS x3 )
Faerie:TMG: I'll have to share that one with #softvore
Meany is disconnected.
Meany is disconnected.
TMG:Uhoh :O
Dr. Hatari:x3TMG:lemme see if I can find the comic…
Liatai:There seems to be an enchantment on this bag! A conjuration spell… but it seems to have been weaved straight into the fabric of the bag itself.
Tathi:"Oh yes, definitely magical." She says, and then uses « 1d20+14 = 4 + 14 = 18 » Knowledge, Arcane! to try to glean a bit more information. Golly loremasters are useful.
Ghostwish:*pokes Kan*
RAM:I has a purring kitty in mah lap! :B
Liatai:Well, there are two main typoes of magical bags you know of; extradimensional storage, and ones that contain summon-able allies. Both use conjuration spells in their creation.
Meany has connected.
TMG:last you saw, meany?
Meany:Tathi: « 1d20+11 = 16 + 11 = 27 » spellcraft!, or +13 if its evocation!
Tathi:Well, seeing how this one isn't spewing out allies.. "I think this is a bag of holding."
TMG:Aha! I found it!
TMG:http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0602.html
TMG:"I think my intestines are trying to declare independance…"
TMG:"They're saying 'no digestion without representation'…"
Meany:Enforce map, GM?
TMG:whispering…
Jalzar:"Hrm. Possible."
Liatai:Do you look in the bag?
- Liatai pokes the Tathi.
Tathi:Meep!
Tathi:Yep, she has a glance.
Liatai:It contains 5 copper pieces, a rope net (10x10), five flasks of lantern oil, twenty vials of ink in various colors, five bottles of fine wine, twenty candles, eleven small magnets, a piece of jade, a small drum painted with a geometric design, and… seven wigs? What the — who would bring this many wigs out into the forest with them?!
Dr. Hatari:Wigs? Magnets? Multi-colored ink?
Tathi:Tathi blinks.. and then smirks as Gnogglebolt walks up. She promptly fits one of the wigs on his head and giggles.
Dr. Hatari:This is now the bag of fun.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt comes over to look at the bag himself. His eyes definitely widen at seeing the bag is much bigger on the inside than the outside.
Gnogglebolt:"Magic again. Hmph."
Jalzar:"I did warn you. Strange."
Gnogglebolt:"Well, we can sort through the contents later, I think."
Thomas Lazarus:"Well, it is rather more well-kept than his usual hair." Tom closes his eyes and beams.
Gnogglebolt:"Let's just take the whole bag and proceed."
- Edaric snickers.
Tathi:"Right." Tathi says, still giggling a little. She picks up the bag and tests it for weight.
TMG:wait-OH
TMG:you put it on MY head x_x
- Kethanis Whitebranch seems to snap out of some daydream or another and catch up with the rest of the party. ^^;
Dr. Hatari:Damn, I was hoping he didn't notice and went into the boss fight with it. :B
Ghostwish:bwehehehe, darnit, I was placing bets on how long it would take you to notice. XD
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up at the odd wig on his head, and simple chuckles. "Certainly not my fashion."
Tathi:"But you look marvelous as a blonde!"
Barbarus:"I'll take it. :V"
Tathi:And the entire party goes poker face.
Luethil Aellonor:"You've got enough hair."
Liatai:The bag weighs about 15 pounds.
Barbarus:http://www.bottlepr.co.uk/uploads/news_images/WillsBigWigWeek.JPG
Thomas Lazarus:"Ohh.. you'll try to make clothes out of it, too."
VAE:back
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt just chuckles again, but doesn't bother taking off the wig. He looks at Tathi in the eyes, a good-natured smile on his face.
Tathi:"Hrmm.." Tathi pokes around.. does this bag have multiple pockets, or just one?
Liatai:Just the one.
Gnogglebolt:You know not what you have wroght, elf. It has begun.
Gnogglebolt:*wrought
Liatai:XDRAM:Ominous.
RAM:D'aww, the purring kitty fell asleep in my lap.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddely shakes his head and wquickly removes the wig. "Anyway! We have not time for play or dawdling. We must proceed with haste to Briarclaw's lair."
Thomas Lazarus:"But, yes.. I believe I never quite got back to you on your question, friend."
Thomas Lazarus:"Gnogglebolt, could we perhaps backtrack just to the last camp?"
Gnogglebolt:"We do not know how long it will take her to learn of this setback to her."
Jalzar:"Right," the lizardfolk says, stumping over the fallen wolf corpses. "Got my pipe, got the bag. We're ready to go whenever you are."
Barbarus:"Onward?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances at Thomas. "Erm…I do not see why would should go backwards. Tathi did already say she still has magic to spare."
Thomas Lazarus:"The druid and woodsmen we killed had more proper gear. We could see to it that these folks are rightly armed before we head into the lair of the beast, herself." He nods somberly.
Tathi:"What is this pipe of yours?"
Gnogglebolt:"We are merely an hour from Briarclaw's area, and we have just eliminated a significant asset."
Gnogglebolt:"We must press our advantage. Now is not the time to regroup."
- Jalzar holds up a corncob pipe.
Gnogglebolt:"…Oh. I see."
Thomas Lazarus:"—No, no. I didn't want to sleep. I wanted to give them more than sticks and clothes."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances at Luethil and Jalzar. What exactly are they equipped with?
Tathi:"I agree. Let's split some equipment amoung them."
Gnogglebolt:literally sticks?
Liatai:Literally, sticks fashioned into clubs. Jalzar has a heavy wooden shield and a sling in addition, and Luethil has a shortbow, a few arrows, and some beaten-looking hide armor that looks a size or two too big.
Kethanis Whitebranch:"A sound idea."
Dr. Hatari:Better than I thought. But still shabby.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods at Tathi. "indeed. We do have some weapons to spare."
Barbarus:"While we sit here and talk."
Barbarus:"Can we scouts do our job?"
Barbarus:"And look for people sneaking up on us?"
Miron:Don't ask, do.
Aelian:"Of course." « 1d20+7 = 15 + 7 = 22 » Spot « 1d20+7 = 5 + 7 = 12 » Listen.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances at barbarus. "…A sound idea, actually. We are getting near, and it may be time to use the potions we have. Take one each with you."
Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 13 + 4 = 17 » Spot, « 1d20+5 = 10 + 5 = 15 » Listen. :V
Aelian:"I don't see anything."
Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12 » Search.
Tathi:Tathi carefully starts transfering stuff from her bag to the new bag. Does the bag stay the same weight?
Liatai:Yep, still 15 pounds. :3
Tathi:"Who wants a backpack?" Tathi asks, smiling.
- Thomas Lazarus peers into the mysterious bag.
- Thomas Lazarus draws his bedroll and drops it within with a fwump. :B
Liatai:Reflex save, Thomas!
Thomas Lazarus:« 1d20+1 = 18 + 1 = 19 » "!"
Liatai:Clack-clack-clack! You have three magnets stuck to your gauntlet now.
- Thomas Lazarus seems bewildered as he holds his gauntlet up.
Thomas Lazarus:"What.. are these cursed?"
Tathi:Tathi is overcome with giggling.
Tathi:"No, those are magnets."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt perks up at the sound.
Gnogglebolt:"Aha! Lodestones!"
Thomas Lazarus:"Ohh.. I've never.. hmm.." He shakes his gauntlet.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt moves over and plucks them off his gauntlet
Tathi:Tathi just pockets the five copper.
Thomas Lazarus:Tom's distraction is fleeting. "… Ah, anyway."
Tathi:"Does anyone want this net? Barbarus, maybe you could make use of it?"
Gnogglebolt:He then spends a moment amusing himself with them, having them stick to each other and repel each other, before dropping them back in the back.
Tathi:"Erm, you can keep them if you want, Gnogglebolt. I intend to use this bag for my own."
Thomas Lazarus:"I agree with Gnogglebolt. Those of you who wish to scout, please drink Kethanis' potions of ..untracking and hiding from animals, were they?"
Thomas Lazarus:"We can backtrack to the druid's camp and equip our new friends quickly."
Gnogglebolt:"Mind their time limit, however."
Dr. Hatari:With that, afk for a snack.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt waves to tathi. "Like I said, let us just take the entire bag. We can sort what's in it later."
RAM:In regards to the bit about the "Backpack"
Gnogglebolt:"Keep everything together for the momet=nt."
Barbarus:Barbie drinks a potion and explores. :O
Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14 » Spot. « 1d20+5 = 2 + 5 = 7 » Listen. « 1d20+4 = 3 + 4 = 7 » Search. « 1d20+5 = 16 + 5 = 21 » Move silently. « 1d20+1 = 16 + 1 = 17 » Hide.
Liatai:Back at the druid camp, there was studded leather armor, a masterwork shortbow, a masterwork dagger, twelve arrows, a masterwork club, a masterwork sling, a heavy wooden shield, and a suit of hide armor, for the sake of expedience. :3
Liatai:The immediate area is all clear.
RAM:http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=984
RAM:Forgot to post the link.
Barbarus:Barbie tries to enlist a second scout to aid in intermediate area searching.
Barbarus:« 1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18 » Diplomacy.
- Jalzar hefts the club, weighing it in one hand. "Hrrm. Much nicer." He hands it off to Luethil and takes the shortbow and arrows.
Jalzar:"Luethil, are you accustomed to a shield?"
- Faerie sips tea. @.@
Luethil Aellonor:"Yeah — hey, you should get some armor on."
- Jalzar grumbles. "Human armor and its lack of tail holes…"
- Jalzar takes the hide armor anyway and tries to make it fit.
Miron:Use a knife then! *smiles*
- Jalzar grumbles. "It's not that simple." Trying to wedge digitigrade feet into greaves…
VAE:oh, also… this fucks up less often, but it still does
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt stands a bit away from the others and looks away as they strip down the druid and huntswoman of their armor and weapons.
Thomas Lazarus:"I'm sorry. It's the best we have to offer within trekking back to town for hours. And even then… human town… " ^^;;
VAE:just it is still useable now, at least
VAE:so definitely something with b85
Jalzar:"I was Speaker for my tribe before I was captured by goblins. I am accustomed to humans." The lizardfolk grunts, getting the armor into a suitable fit. "… It will do."
TMG:except no one else has this problem at all
TMG:so it's something on your end. :B
VAE:yeah… that's why 63 and 66 have it not
Liatai:… no reaction to the goblin line? :B Ah well.
TMG:was just about to get to that. x3
VAE:well , there was a maptool talk to argue
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt blinks, and glances over to Jalzar. "If you'll pardon me for saying, it seems you've been captured quite a bit. How did you get out of that one?"
Jalzar:"I didn't," he growls. "I was sold."
Faerie:I have no problems with 85
Jalzar:"Sold to this witch like a common slave or haunch of meat."
Faerie:In fact, I like it better because it has typing notifications.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt frowns. "Sold to who—to briarclaw…" Gnogglebolt then smacks his forehead.
Gnogglebolt:"Were the goblins headed by a bugbear named Redmaw?"
Luethil Aellonor:"REDMAW?! Where the f*** is he?! Is he still around?! I want to wring his neck personally after he sold me to this hellhole!"
Gnogglebolt:"He's long dead, don't worry. It's not important anymore, anyway."
- Jalzar sighs with a bit of a rattly hiss. "… Yes, it was Redmaw. But how did you…? Dead?"
Miron:He's dead.. and if it helps, you can count yerself lucky you didn't go to his other custom,ers
Miron:Notably the Spindlethorns
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt pulls out the ledger and looks through it…aha. there. One lizardfolk, sold to briarclaw.
Miron:Oh… one of them disposed of Granch
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then begins to cross off everyone in the ledger who has been discovered alive.
Gnogglebolt:or otherwise identity-confirmed.
Edaric:"Wait, you were captured by Redmaw, too?!"
Miron:I hope we won't need that scrap as evidence later on.
- Thomas Lazarus looks around. "Goodness.."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt closes the book and puts it away before anyone else can see it.
Aelian:"Corellon's bowstring," the half-elf says with the air of an oath.
Gnogglebolt:"But yes. Redmaw is already day. We were not actually the ones to do it, he was a skeleton when we found him. Was still a bother to make the skeleton stop moving, though."
Ghostwish:brb!
Gnogglebolt:*already dead
Gnogglebolt:"In fact, it was Redmaw's very dealings that has brought us into this forest today, looking for Briarclaw."
Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 4 + 4 = 8 » Spot. « 1d20+5 = 19 + 5 = 24 » Listen. « 1d20+4 = 9 + 4 = 13 » Search. « 1d20+5 = 9 + 5 = 14 » Move silently. « 1d20+1 = 6 + 1 = 7 » Hide.
Luethil Aellonor:"At least that red-fanged bastard's out of commission."
Thomas Lazarus:With the new elf and lizardman equipped, Tom pats Gnogglebolt's shoulder once and nods at the northern path. "Let's be on our way before Barbarus is in danger."
TMG:is luethill brown-haired?
Miron:Indeed… for such as him, a noose is too good …
RAM:Mmm, ramen.
Liatai:She should be, but her token lies. :B
TMG:'tis why I was asking. x3
Liatai:She's the elf that they thought acted like a gorilla. :B
Gnogglebolt:When he was looking through the ledger for the sale to match Luethil to, he found that only the line about a 'gorilla' seemed to fit…and he glances up with his eyes at luethil for a moment before croassing that entry off (then he put the ledger away)
Dr. Hatari:She has the HP for it. >:o *super jelous!*
Liatai:Barbarian. XP
TMG:*dang, so many typos)
Luethil Aellonor:"… What're you lookin' at me like that for?"
VAE:though, Miiron is kinda close (10 hp away, or 3/4ths)
VAE::DDr. Hatari:>:| *scribble scribble, next magic item: amulet of constitution!*
Gnogglebolt:"Nothing important." Gnogglebolt says after the ledger is back in his backpack.
GM:Roll call, who's here? I know Hatari, Tech, and VAE are.
VAE:next one for Miron is one of strength :P
TMG:Present!
Faerie:I'm…becoming gradually more aware.
VAE:helps to fight and heave books around
Faerie:I think the tea is helping.
Faerie:>.>
Audience Mow:"Chitter-mrr!"
GM:Time to place your votes. Who do you think you'd like to control in combat?
Meany:yoAudience Mow:Audience Mow would like to control the Audience Mow!
VAE:who's available?
VAE:Also, Miron , if noone disputes :3
TMG:I'll take anyone.
GM:We have a level 3 druid and hawk, a level 3 bard, a level 3 ranger, a level 3 barbarian, and a level 1 lizardfolk fighter (ECL 3).
Dr. Hatari:Hardcore mode: I TAKE ALLL OF THEEM. D:Audience Mow:And a level - Mow?
Ghostwish:Is the ranger ranged or melee?
VAE:methinks the lizardfolk
GM:Ranged. Archery specialization. That's Aelian.
Ghostwish:Dibs. :>
RAM:What level is the Mow?
VAE:nice and simple, besides might help meh flank for Miron
GM:Okay, so we have Luethil the barbarian, Kethanis the druid (and Koehel), and Edaric the bard left.
TMG:I can take the bar
TMG:bard
Meany:Druid me.
GM:Ghost and VAE, you should have ownership of your chosen tokens. Look around, let me know if you need any details filled in.
Dr. Hatari:Sounds fine~
Dr. Hatari:I'll take the barbarian.
Meany:Unless Keth is the one Hatari claimed.
Jalzar:I feel… strange urges
Meany:Can't remember.
Jalzar:*dances for a moment*
Liatai:Hey now, dialogue is still my domain. XP
Dr. Hatari:It doesn't matter. Besides, you were talking of druiding Barbarus later. Get some practice. :B
Liatai:Anyway, look over your token notes, let me know if there's anything you need to know! :3
Dr. Hatari:Whoah. Extensive token notes.
Liatai:Yeah I take crazy detailed token notes. XD
VAE:your domain is dialogue… mine, malevolent possession :P
Dr. Hatari:This random NPC has more than I deigned to write for my main character. x3
- Dr. Hatari should really write that sometime.
Dr. Hatari:Perhaps next time the lab book is due. >:3
Faerie:I…guess I'll take whoever's left? :B
VAE:no child left behind policy?
VAE:er.. NPC
Liatai:Unfortunately, that's everyone. >: But you have Ezer to use in combat, too!
Faerie:NNPCLB
Ghostwish:is my character a… boi.. or a gurl?
Liatai:Aelian? He's male. XD
Ezer:Wee, I get to do more than terrorize a rat for once!
Kor:Hiss!
Liatai:And rather sensitive about those delicate elven features. XP
VAE:he's a bishie boy! we should call a particular panda cubi upon him!
Ezer:You know you love it, rat. ;3
Faerie:VAE: Can I be called in, instead? >.>
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances back over to the group after the druid and huntswoman have been stripped of their equipment. "So, are we ready to head back?"
VAE:loving rat.. he'd be friend with Glup's original incarnation
Meany:Spells per day in relation to spells remaining?
- Jalzar nods. "Is there an established marching order?"
VAE:he was all yum, rat! to the extent of terrorising a particular kellonite wererat cleric
Liatai:For the druid? (*) means it was used.
Barbarus:"Scouts in front."
Gnogglebolt:"Not quite. Although, that actually brings me to something—
TMG:whoa
TMG:when did barbarus get back?
TMG:aren't we still at the camp taking the equipment?
VAE:seriously, having a 5 meter long crustacean doing the equivalent of salivating near ya is scary
Dr. Hatari:It's kind of ambiguous, honestly.
Dr. Hatari:Doesn't matter, we had time.
TMG:Hm. Well, since we're not map-hopping, let's just visiually split up the tokens :o
VAE:Theme song for the druids! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6HWepyTks0
- Jalzar huffs. "Then I suppose we'll go wherever combat specialists are."
TMG:everyone who backtracked to the camp on one side, and those who didn't on the other side
VAE:(i mean the enemy ones :3_
Liatai:Get in marching arrangement, people!
VAE:which side is which?
Dr. Hatari:Oh jeeze…
VAE:one and other doesn't quite cut it
TMG:well, gnogglebolt's at the camp, so go near him.
TMG:okay, so aelia, barbarus, and elros are the scouts?
TMG:*aelian
VAE:arglblarg… if i get to start my game i definitely won't use b85.. i should test b86 perhaps
TMG:it's something on your end, danman.
Liatai:How does this look?
Dr. Hatari:Looks solid.
VAE:well, no other version did this, either way
Liatai:There, now it's solid. x3
Dr. Hatari:BETTER PULL YOUR WEIGHT, MOW. >:O
- Dr. Hatari hands the Mow a M60.
Gnogglebolt:"By the way, once we meet back up with the others," Gnogglebolt says as they begin to walk, "I'd like to spend just a minute or two with everyone practicing placement for a formation we used that is what allowed us to take down all those wolves…"
Gnogglebolt:"Not serious practice, mind you, just everyone knowing ahead of time where to stand."
Liatai:Talk here, if you will. :3
Thomas Lazarus:"Well.. like this, more or less?"
Dr. Hatari:Punkins D:Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 4 + 4 = 8 » Spot. « 1d20+5 = 10 + 5 = 15 » Listen. « 1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15 » Search. « 1d20+5 = 12 + 5 = 17 » Move silently. « 1d20+1 = 15 + 1 = 16 » Hide.
Audience Mow:The Mow laods up and racks his M60. "Say hello to my little friend!"
Gnogglebolt:"Mm, a little, but we're still missing the others. Don't worry, we'll worry about it when we find them again."
Aelian:« 1d20+7 = 9 + 7 = 16 » Spot « 1d20+7 = 20 + 7 = 27 » Listen!
Gnogglebolt:And with that, they proceed back to the cave where they found Jalzar and Luethil?
VAE:how do you racxk that? ya don't have hands!
Audience Mow:DO NOT QUESTION RAMBMOW!
- VAE does just that!
Dr. Hatari:^^;
Aelian:After walking for a bit, Aelian holds up a hand! "Quiet!"
Aelian:"You too, purple fuzzball."
VAE:Ain't afraid o' no mow!
VAE:call 1-800-MOWBUSTERS
TMG:hey Alex :o
TMG:time for you to get into the roleplayin.g Of the three scouts, you're the only one who's seen this before…
TMG:;)Audience Mow:MINE IS AN M60 THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS!
TMG:(the rest of the group hasn't caught up with them, right?)
Faerie:Oi. Um…right.
VAE:The basement cat watches you!
Liatai:They're on the road, everyone's together.
TMG:Oh.
TMG:Okay then, before proceeding, the formation practice :o
Rambmow:RAMBMOW EATS BASEMENT CATS FOR BREAKFAST!
TMG:don't need to roleplay, just need to get exactly into the token placement we would use
Barbarus:"Oy."
TMG:or…ah, nevermind.
Liatai:Ram, could you please tone it down just a little so we can get business taken care of? ^^; Or I shall replace your Mow with a silly sun.
RAM:Yeah, gotcha.
Dr. Hatari:Well, since it's not versus 15 wolves, I think adjusting to context like usual would be best.
RAM:Sowwy.
TMG:We can just finagle it the best we can if it comes to it. x3
Liatai:No prob. x3
TMG:hatari; I meant Gnogglebolt would call for this formation -if- we faced that many wolves again
TMG:but nevermind, we can continue.
Elros:Elros looks around « 1d20+10 = 1 + 10 = 11 » spot and « 1d20+8 = 16 + 8 = 24 » listen, just in case.
Aelian:"Either we've got shambling mounds up ahead, or some other kind of plant creature."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt peers around the legs of the tall people.
Elros:Elros thinks he might need to get his vision checked.
Gnogglebolt:Can he see them?
Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 18 + 4 = 22 » Spot on these things? :V
Liatai:Barbarus sees them!
Liatai:Gnogglebolt needs to roll a Spot check.
Gnogglebolt:Spot: « 1d20 = 1 »
TMG:Doof
Elros:Elros hmms. "It seems we're not alone in these woods…though I'm afraid I can't tell what…or who else is out there."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt cannot see through the legs of everyoene else. Friggin tall-legs!
Rambmow:Can Rambmow roll a spot check?
Liatai:No. XP
Rambmow:Aww.
Kethanis Whitebranch:"No one is ever truly alone in a forest," the druid says cryptically.
Miron:Miron shudders at the words
VAE:paranoia fuel!
Gnogglebolt:"What is it? Can someone see something?"
Elros:"Well, that is true. Most animals don't know how to set fires, however."
- Kethanis Whitebranch looks somewhat confused. ? I was trying to be comforting… :B City folk. Sheesh.
Edaric:Edaric draws his mwk light crosbow?
Edaric:"Fires?"
Miron:Miron is far more comfortable even in city sewers…
Thomas Lazarus:Tom looks about at the cue of the others, drawing his blade and shield. (Spottan! « 1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11 »)
Thomas Lazarus:"Where?"
Thomas Lazarus:"Should we.. ambush them?"
- Aelian has his longbow drawn. "Ahead. Where exactly, I don't know."
Gnogglebolt:"What is it? Who's seeing what?" Gnogglebolt says, bouncing around and trying to peek through everyone.
Barbarus:"I can see them."
Barbarus:"They're…pumpkins?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt stops bouncing.
Gnogglebolt:"Pumpkins? Oh…-them- again."
Gnogglebolt:"I knew it."
Thomas Lazarus:"…" Tom takes a moment to stoop down and shoulder Gnogglebolt, possible to his distress. But it's functional for spot rerolling purposes. x3
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt squaks gnommishly at the sudden pickup and says a few things nt-nice-sounding things in languages Thomas probably doesn't know, but then stops and looks again. Respot? « 1d20 = 16 »
Great Pumpkinhead:And not just any pumpkins. The pumpkin that went into making this scarecrow-like creature would have won first prize at any county fair. It's almost as big as a cart!
Liatai:Yep, Gnogglebolt can see them from his new templar perch. x3
- Thomas Lazarus seems indifferent to the curses. This is important, afterall!
Tathi:Tathi blinks. "Pump.. kins?"
Gnogglebolt:"Aha. I doublew knew it, and…"
Miron:Pumpkins?
Gnogglebolt:"Oh my SHe's improved them."
Miron:What the hell?
Faerie:It's the great pumpkin, Tathi Brown!
Thomas Lazarus:"Hmm.."
Dr. Hatari:XD* Liatai makes a note to give Fae extra EXP. X3
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks down at the others. "remember how I said that elros and I had seen those fiendish ravens before, when we were going to redtree?"
- Thomas Lazarus raises a brow and glances ever-so-slightly aside, "These, too?"
Gnogglebolt:"Indeed. We saw these things in the same area. They're little scarecrow-men-things with, well, pumpkins for heads."
Gnogglebolt:"Theyhave this nasty habit of taking off their heads and kicking them at you."
- Thomas Lazarus furrows his brow. Strange.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt rubs his cheek. "It's hurts."
Liatai:Ever so slightly aside and up, to see Gnogglebolt, since he's still on his shoulders? :B
Dr. Hatari:Correct.
Thomas Lazarus:"They have a ranged attack, then.. we should close quickly."
Miron:Miron rises brow… "Their sense of humor is perverse"
Elros:They're quite heavy, after all. Not unlike a medium-sized rock hitting you.
Gnogglebolt:"Of course, there's fire inside their heads, too."
Gnogglebolt:"And it seems the witch has created a delux model. I'm not sure what the big one can do."
Ghostwish:what perfect time. I have to go now. :>
TMG:Ohboy. xD
Dr. Hatari:Amazing.
Ghostwish:Ohhh, me and Liatai chatted about who's gonna possess Tathi. This should be gooooood. >:)
Tokens dropped onto map 'Forest B'
VAE:Miron might get a food trauma at the end of this encounter
Dr. Hatari:Fae, guess which NPC you just got control of!! >:B
VAE:Never more pumpkin soup
Evil DM:BWAHAHAHAHAAHA!
VAE::PTMG:Oh no. I have a guess …. >.>
Gnogglebolt:"Oh, and in case anyone isn't clear"
Liatai:Faerie's been given control of Aelian, as well. :3
Gnogglebolt:"Their pumpkin-head-smash isn't a one-shot thing."
Gnogglebolt:"Their heads grow back."
Gnogglebolt:"fortunately, their whole body is rather delicate."
Thomas Lazarus:"..How utterly bizzare.."
Ghostwish:made some new notes on Aelian as well. :>
Faerie:Ah, so I have a sword ranger and a ranged ranger now? x3
Meany:Ohlia.
Gnogglebolt:"If you can hit them in their center, they'll fall apart."
Meany:Forgot to say.
Faerie:I'm getting a ranger army!
Dr. Hatari:Ranger, ranger, RANGER. >:D
Gnogglebolt:"Unless she's improved even the small ones…"
Dr. Hatari:Have them pose together!
Meany:Kaid's dog had her puppies today.
Faerie:(Yes, that is a play on words.)
Liatai:Puppies! :D
Liatai:How many? Were they all healthy? :3
Liatai:Awwww white bundles of puppyfluff x3
Dr. Hatari:puppehs
TMG:d'awwww :3
TMG:"puppyfluff" Heehee. That's a cute one. xD
RAM:Cuuuuuute!
Meany:Trio. :o
Thomas Lazarus:Thomas squints. "..I'd say, then, that we should charge them.. but they're right behind a river. That's a huge tactical defense."
Tathi:"Oww… my head… those pumpkins again…?"
Barbarus:"Not to archers. Or casters."
Barbarus:« 1d20+5 = 17 + 5 = 22 » Listen to tell the difference in Tathi.
Gnogglebolt:"That…is indeed quite a problem. They may be phsyically weak, but their pumpkin-smash attack is strong—eh?"
Rambmow:Or RAMBMOW!
Gnogglebolt:"…you've seen them before, Tathi?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt turns to look at her.
VAE:also, lia, are they constructs?
VAE:if yes, i can use dark knowledge of arcane sort
VAE:i have a feat for that (dragons and constructs included)
Tathi:"Tafari, not Tathi — unless my ears are still full of pumpkin." The wizard shakes her head vigorously.
TMG:they are constructs, but they're druidic constructs, like Boguns. Liatai's call.
Liatai:Yep, they're constructs.
Miron:*sigh* Not again
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt freezes.
Faerie:Mow person: Sonic Rainbmow?
Faerie:>.>
Gnogglebolt:"Oh dear. Horrible timing."
Gnogglebolt:"Let me down, quickly thomas."
Thomas Lazarus:"Tafari..?"
Gnogglebolt:"It's happened again."
- Thomas Lazarus obliges.
Gnogglebolt:"Tathi's mind is gone."
- Thomas Lazarus readies the Tathi-lock. >:O
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt quickly walks over and looks up at 'Tathi'. "So…tafari, you said?"
Gnogglebolt:"Who are you, aside from your name?"
Ghostwish:and now I go afk. Bwehehehehe!
Rambmow:Rambmow has M60! Rambmow needs not Sonic Rainbmow!
Tathi:"I should be asking you. You don't look like Briarclaw cabal members…"
- Thomas Lazarus slumps. "…"
Gnogglebolt:"Ah, nevermind that for the moment."
Gnogglebolt:"We're here to help you."
Tathi:"Are you against her, or with her?" The wizard begins to back away.
Gnogglebolt:"Are you with Briarclaw?"
Miron:Hmm, what rank do you hold among the briarclaws?
Tathi:"You'll face the flames if you are Briarclaws. Does that answer your question?"
- Thomas Lazarus clears his throat lightly. "We're most certainly not."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt chuckles weakly. "Indeed. No, we are not briarclaws, but we didn't know if you were."
Miron:It does *smiles*
Gnogglebolt:"Anyway…what is the last thing you remember?"
Miron:Says something in gnomish
Gnogglebolt:"And what do you know of the pumpkin-headed things?"
Miron says in Gnome: She might be bluffing
Tathi:"Pumpkins flying at my skull," the elf says… then replies in perfect Gnome.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt shrugs at Miron, but also slightly nods.
Miron:Sense Motive « 1d20+5 = 7 + 5 = 12 »
Tafari Achon says in Gnome: "Why would I lie? It would be much easier to barbecue you if I wanted you away from me."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sighs. "Oh dear. Well, um—" He starts at hearing his native tongue from her, but actually then relaxes.
Gnogglebolt:"Ah…anyway…"
Miron:Surprisedly, again in gnomish
Gnogglebolt:"Let's just, uh, get this over with. Brace yourself for a very blunt shock."
Gnogglebolt:"You're, um, dead."
Miron says in Gnome: Because there are more than me around
Gnogglebolt:"It seems those pumpkinheads must have gotten the better of you."
Tathi:"…. Dead?"
Miron:Yeah, dead like a doornail
Tathi:The elf's face suddenly twists in rage.
Gnogglebolt:"Yes, I know…and let me explain what's happening now."
Miron:You are inhabiting the body of an elf
Gnogglebolt:"We have a friend, you see, an elven magician."
Miron:she's kinda mentally weak young girl.
- Thomas Lazarus slumps even more, with a sigh. Those gnomes.
Tathi:"Those faessi nurh kothar!"
Miron:she's an easy receptacle for possession, see?
Gnogglebolt:"She has this curse where she…sometimes gets taken over by a passing spirit."
Gnogglebolt:"Which, you apparently qualify for."
Barbarus:"Okay."
Gnogglebolt:"very, very sorry. However!"
Gnogglebolt:"Wait! Wait! Listen to me!"
Barbarus:"Can the non-combatants wait behind?"
Tathi:"I'll kill them myself!"
Gnogglebolt:"I know, hold for one moment!"
Gnogglebolt:"Listen, please!"
Rambmow:Rambmow hugs to comfort.
Elros:"Would you need help restraining her?"
Tathi:"They'll rue the day they crossed Tafari Achon — what, gnome? Can't you see time's a-wasting?!"
Tathi:"If you're speaking the truth, I only have a short while to wreak my vengeance!"
Miron:Let's fight then.. but don't wreck this body much!
Gnogglebolt:"No, no, it is okay…or it should be…It's just, tafari, listen. ys, your time is limited in this body. Sooner or later, our Tathi will return and you will be gone. I was…well, yes. Just going to say that you may get justice with your last moments here. But we can't just charge right in, not yet."
Miron:The owner will need it for many years more
Tathi:"Oh, don't worry." The elf has an evil smile, and fire plays along her fingers. "I don't plan on getting close again."
Barbarus:"Note to self. Call for some questions on the leadership of this group. :/"
Gnogglebolt:"For one, I don't know if you can use Tathi's magic, because no one else has…"
Miron:Hmm.. *again*? Were you a spellcaster before?
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt pauses at the dancing flames.
Gnogglebolt:"Okay. One rule."
- Thomas Lazarus waves lightly at Barbarus. "'Course they'll stay behind.."
Tathi:"Yes, now let's get moving already!"
Gnogglebolt:"If you -must- use spells, and try to use the weaker ones."
Gnogglebolt:"try to use as few spells as possible."
Barbarus:"That's two rules, Gnogglebolt."
Gnogglebolt:"We need as much of our old Tathi when she returns. We're going after Briarclaw herself later."
Miron:Use common sense, really
Tathi:"Well what am I supposed to do?! I can't use this!" The elf waves her shortbow.
Gnogglebolt:"So, I -know- you are upset and you do deserve reveng, but try to keep it controlled."
Dr. Hatari:Come to think of it, we have no non-combatants. :o
Miron:If Gnogglebolt.. if we're gettin' our asses handed to us, she *ought* to use the stronger spells too
Gnogglebolt:"Well, of course, then it would be necessary."
Gnogglebolt:"But still. A ranged engagement is not something we shoudl try."
Rambmow:Would you like to borrow Rambmow's M60? He cannot use it, as he is on the other side of the fourth wall.
Gnogglebolt:"We3 may have superior numbers but those things are storng, and I don't even know about the big one. Ah…"
Gnogglebolt:"I know."
Gnogglebolt:"Let us try to go around. Through the trees. We'll catch them once we';re on the other side of the river."
Gnogglebolt:"Good?"
Miron:Well, a fire spell might do a pumpkin good.. makes them tasty
Thomas Lazarus:"..Hmm.. that actually sounds good."
Tathi:"Whatever we're doing, let's make it quick."
Gnogglebolt:"very well. Onward!"
Barbarus:"The gnome city boy wants to attempt stealth."
Barbarus:Eye roll.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt starst making off to the side in the trees.
TMG:(go ahead and keep DM moving, I think)
Barbarus:…
Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 14 + 4 = 18 » Spot check.
Kethanis Whitebranch:"Gnogglebolt…"
Barbarus:Have those pumpkin heads moved?
Kethanis Whitebranch:"This is the middle of the creek."
Kethanis Whitebranch:"We would need to trek for hours to go around the water entirely."
Gnogglebolt:"…"
Gnogglebolt:"I didn't say go around the -water-"
Gnogglebolt:"We do need to cross the river. Let's just not do it on the wide-opne path where theose things can take potshots at us."
- Barbarus suddenly completely stops.
Gnogglebolt:"That's all."
Barbarus:All stop! Screeeeeeech-*crash*
Barbarus:"We've been spotted!"
Thomas Lazarus:"That was fast." ^^;
Gnogglebolt:"Oh dear. We must continue! We must get across the river where we can engage them close up!"
Gnogglebolt:"Not going to be pleasant either way…"
Barbarus:"You do that if you wish. :/"
Barbarus:"We archers can manage just fine."
Gnogglebolt:"Fine, then we archers will cover the folsk with melee weapons!"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt draws his crossbow as they move through the trees.
Dr. Hatari:How deep is this creek?
Dr. Hatari:Muddy little Lima hip-deep, or swimming deep?
Liatai:Wade-able, except for about 10 feet in the middle that requires a little swimming the get across.
- Dr. Hatari checks swim mod. Oh lulz.
Liatai:10-20 feet across, depending on the section of creek… but at least it's calm water.
Elros:Elros wonders if there is bridge and/or boat-fashioning material/
Gnogglebolt:"Oh, wait a second! Make sure to check anything not waterproof before going in the water!"
Dr. Hatari:We probably don't have time for that. :B
Great Pumpkinhead:Initiative « 1d20 = 15 »
Gnogglebolt:"If it's important, leave it here!"
Miron:Initiative « 1d20 = 4 »
Pumpkinhead 6:Initiative « 1d20+2 = 10 + 2 = 12 »
Gnogglebolt:Init! « 1d20+1 = 16 + 1 = 17 »
Thomas Lazarus:H'oh boy « 1d20 = 17 »
TMG:do we roll init for NPCs under our control, too?
Elros:Init: « 1d20+3 = 14 + 3 = 17 »
Barbarus:« 1d20+2 = 6 + 2 = 8 » Dex check!
Luethil Aellonor:Init! « 1d20+2 = 17 + 2 = 19 »
Liatai:If you like!
Jalzar:Initiative « 1d20+1 = 13 + 1 = 14 »
Liatai:Can you see their stats?
Rambmow:Can Rambmow roll initiative, Tailed One?
Rambmow:Pwease?
- Liatai sighs. "If you want.
Dr. Hatari:Please no. Then he'll act on that init. x3
Rambmow:Yay! Initiative « 1d20 = 18 »
Liatai:« 1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18 » init!
Edaric:« 1d20+1 = 14 + 1 = 15 »
Kethanis Whitebranch:« 1d20+1 = 15 + 1 = 16 »
- Faerie assumes Ezer has the same init as Elros?
Aelian:« 1d20+4 = 1 + 4 = 5 »
Dr. Hatari:For simplicity sake, a good idea.
Liatai:The highest Dex. The lowest initiative. :B
Jalzar:hmmm, the feline will have to sprint off again - the fires of the revolution still burn
Dr. Hatari:..Who?
VAE:argh!
VAE:bloody impersonation
VAE:this was meant to be said by me
Meany is disconnected.
Meany is disconnected.
Dr. Hatari:Oh, right, that whole bit. Lynx etc. :B
VAE:the no digestion without representation thing
TMG:ahcrap.
VAE:tech said it really explicitly
Liatai:Literally. :B
TMG:No, about meany. x_x
Meany has connected.
TMG:last thing you saw?
Luethil Aellonor has received initiative.
Luethil Aellonor:Luethil draws her scavenged short-bow. Not the tidiest weapon ever, but it'll still let an arrow sing! She takes a ready action to attack the first of the punkin's to take a hostile move on the party!
Tathi has received initiative.
Meany:Jalzar: hmmm, the feline will have to sprint off again - the fires of the revolution still burn
Tathi:Tathi does the same, but with less shortbows and more preparing to blast the target into next Loda.
Elros has received initiative.
TMG:whispering…
Liatai:Go Elros go! :D
- Faerie hmms
Faerie:What penalty do I take for firing outside of the range interval?
TMG:-1 for each increment
Faerie:So, a 125' shot is a -1, correct?
TMG:so, if you've got a range of 100, anything between 101 and 200 is -1, and 201-300 is -2, and so on
Dr. Hatari:-2, or -4, I think I forget which. … I'll just search the SRD.
Liatai:Yep!
TMG:no, it's only 1 per increment
Dr. Hatari:Any attack at less than this distance is not penalized for range. However, each full range increment imposes a cumulative -2 penalty on the attack roll. A thrown weapon has a maximum range of five range increments. A projectile weapon can shoot out to ten range increments.
Dr. Hatari:There we go.
Faerie:…wait, now I'm unsure of something.
TMG:hatari; huh? o.O
Faerie:Attack bonus for arrows is…BAB+DEX?
Dr. Hatari:Correct.
TMG:oh, yeah, BaB + dex
TMG:for attack.
TMG:But dex is -not- added to damage, nor is str (unless it's a compsosite bow)
TMG:…Oh. Bugger.
TMG:You're right hatari, it -is- -2 instead of -1. :/
TMG:Darn.
Liatai:So, BAB+Dex-2 for this shot. :3
- Faerie is confused
Faerie:For some reason, I listed +8 on my character sheet, when it should be +7, unless I have my BAB wrong. >.>;
Liatai:Is it a masterwork bow?
Dr. Hatari:Well, you may have a masterwork weapon adding +1 more.
Dr. Hatari:They're pretty affordable.
Faerie:Unless I meant for the sword listed beneath it to have a +8 which…I think is what I meant.
Faerie:No, I never upgraded to masterwork.
- Dr. Hatari shrugz then. x3
Elros:Enough talking, more shooting! Elros draws his crossbow, takes aim at pumpkinhead 4, and attcaks! « 1d20+4+3-2 = 3 + 4 + 3 - 2 = 8 »
- Great Pumpkinhead sits upon his throne of stones, grinning gourd turned toward the party.
Elros:And shoots wide. Any chance that hit something else useful by accident? :B
Pumpkinhead 4:The crossbow bolt splashes into the creek.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Liatai:Go Gnogglebolt go! :D
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, likewise, moves to take a better shot himself. He dearly, dearly wishes these things are as fragile as he remembered them and not toughened up, or they're all in quite a bit of trouble… Light Crossbow attac! « 1d20+5-2 = 5 + 5 - 2 = 8 » at PH 2!
Gnogglebolt:dang. x_x
Kethanis Whitebranch has received initiative.
Gnogglebolt:deductin' bolt…
TMG:dang, only 5 left. o.
Liatai:You ready, Meany? :D
TMG:o.o
Liatai:Druid time!
Liatai:(Don't forget the hawk. ;3 )
Meany:I'm sorry, but I just might.
Gnogglebolt:Must start carrying more supplies… Gnogglebolt thinks to himself.
Kethanis Whitebranch:Flaming sphere…determining distance.
Dr. Hatari:Close (25 + 5ft/2 levels)
VAE:bacl
VAE:back
TMG:brb, makin' sammich.
Kethanis Whitebranch: (( PHB disagrees, Hatari. medium. 100ft+10/level. ))
Dr. Hatari:Oh. Whoops. D:VAE:and this is why took a melee fighter, too
VAE:don't need to look up moar spells
Liatai:x3Dr. Hatari:It 'felt' like a close spell… x3
Tokens dropped onto map 'Forest B'
MoltenMetalBall1_PP:They see me burnin'. They hatin'.
MoltenMetalBall1_PP:Using the Druid's move action~
MoltenMetalBall1_PP:Reflex save, you.
Pumpkinhead 4:« 1d20+2 = 17 + 2 = 19 » Ffff—
MoltenMetalBall1_PP:« 2d6 = 7 »
TMG:ohcrap, forgot to roll for Edaric—oh, it's already done :o
MoltenMetalBall1_PP:Three points of fire damage.
Pumpkinhead 4:The pumpkinhead takes a bit of a scorching, but bats out the flames like they're nothing.
Meany:Move along? :O
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Dr. Hatari:Koehel nuuuu
Rambmow:BURN THIS MUTHA F- DOWN!
Thomas Lazarus:Tom glances back and forth between the lake and the punkins in a sudden panic. Gotta decide, here they come, better do something… alright! Can't cross in one go anyways! Tom rushes to the forefront of the party formation and hefts his roundshield up in a defensive stance. Atleast he can attract their fire and provide the others some cover! (Taking full defense action (which is paradoxically a standard action). Tom's AC hops to 25 for 1 round.)
Dr. Hatari:Done.
Edaric has received initiative.
- Thomas Lazarus furrows his brow and tightens his grip. IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN.
Liatai:Nice, quick, pretyped actions. Brownie points for you, Hatari. :3
Dr. Hatari:COME AT ME BROS.
TMG:ah craps. Break from sammich, then….
Edaric:Edaric takes out his lute and begins his bardsong. Inspire Courgae, +1 attack and dmaage for everyone! (and +1 save vs fear)
Edaric:end turn
TMG:back to sammich :o
Great Pumpkinhead:The great pumpkin king stands… then spryly leaps off into the forest!
Jalzar has received initiative.
Liatai:Danman, you here? — Ah, yep! :3
VAE:oh, here
Meany:I forget. :o
Meany:Where did Ghost poof to?
VAE:they be kinda far, though
Dr. Hatari:Groceries or something.
Liatai:Grocery store. And don't forget how well lizardfolk can swim ;3
VAE:oh ,right
Meany:I had an idea.
Meany:An evil idea.
Meany:An wonderful idea.
Meany:And evil, wonderful idea.
VAE:even in armour, though:VAE:?VAE:what's his swim modifier?
Dr. Hatari:It could probably atleast be a positive mod.
Meany:But it's cold war. :O So I'll post it IRC.
Rambmow:Rambmow must go to the bathroom. Rambmow will return.
Dr. Hatari:Tom has -8. :B
VAE:But Tom isn't a lizardfolk
Dr. Hatari:Hence having a shot at a positive mod, with lighter armor and ranks.
Liatai:+4+5-5… so +4. :3
Liatai:+6 if he loses the shield.
VAE:How does the river look?
Liatai:Calm.
VAE:What weaponry has he?
Liatai:Check the token.
VAE:hmm… range for the shortbow./.. how big would the penalty be from across?
Liatai:60 ft. range increment.
Ghostwish:BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARG
Meany:I smell a Ghostwish.
Dr. Hatari:Wow.. 2lbs. :O
Meany:Yo.
VAE:only 50 ft basic range? didn't expect that
Liatai:The ghost says "noooooooooo!" and poofs. :B
VAE:and neither did i the spanish inquisition
Ghostwish:So, where's tathi? Bound and naked?
Liatai:"Curse you, logistics! Standing in the way of my reveeeeeenge! DX "
VAE:does he have the bow equipped?
Liatai:Yes.
Jalzar:If i remember, pumpkins make good target practice
VAE:what;s the modifier from here?
Dr. Hatari:-2VAE:kewl
Gnogglebolt:"Oh, great. The big one seems smart."
Jalzar:"I stand with you, priest."
Dr. Hatari:You can hit most of them within 2 increments.
Tathi:The gem on Tathi's forehead glows brightly for a moment, and then she waves, placing a hand to her head. "Oof.. my head." She says, sounding quite normal again. "Wait.. what happen- Oh not again!" She says, shaking her head and looking around.
Dr. Hatari:..Oh, wait. I was thinking it was 70ft for the composite shortbow.
Jalzar:« 1d20+4-2 = 2 + 4 - 2 = 4 » as an arrow flies towards the closest pumpkin ?
Meany:Haha-no.
Jalzar:And it almost hits Thomas by accident
Dr. Hatari:Well, you could atleast his the punkin under the fireball.
Pumpkinhead 6:Here come the pumpkins!
Jalzar:Um…sorry *scales go red*
TMG:(I can't remember, hatari, were you ever told about these guys before? Ooh, here it comes :o "
- Thomas Lazarus nods with a confident smirk - which promptly vanishes as he is nearly pegged. ^^;
VAE:end turn
Meany:A double move. :V
Dr. Hatari:Not really.
Dr. Hatari:Hum. Since it's obviously approaching us without an olive branch, I'm going to call this hostile enough for the ready action. S'cool?
Pumpkinhead 6:One barrels full-tilt toward the group, while the rest work their way through the trees!
Pumpkinhead 6:S'cool. :3
Luethil Aellonor:That's the sign the elf was waiting for! An arrow goes whistling towards punkin # 6! « 1d20+5 = 11 + 5 = 16 » « 1d6 = 4 »
TMG:aw darn, no pumpkin smashes. Was gonna play the sound effect. :B
Pumpkinhead 6:The arrow lodges firmly in the straw body of the creature!
Barbarus has received initiative.
Barbarus:« 1d20+3 = 19 + 3 = 22 » Handle Animal check. :O
Barbarus:"Honduras! Sic!"
Honduras:Hmm. :. Do diagonals count as straight for bull rush attampts?
Rambmow:Rambmow has returned!
- Honduras doesn't think so.
Liatai:Yes.
Honduras:O:Liatai:Though you might just want to charge, if you can. x3
Honduras: (( Trying to find them in the PHB. Failing. ))
TMG:a bullrush can be done as part of a charge
TMG:page 154
TMG:*for meany
TMG:Bullrush can also be done without a charge, charging just gives a bonus
Dr. Hatari:It would provoke an attack of opportunity unless Honduras has improved bull rush. It would also, well… annoyingly push the pumpkin away from the rest of the melee fighters to absolutely no significant result. :B
TMG:yeah, that too >.>
Dr. Hatari:Perhaps extinguish its jack-o-lantern head in the creek.
Honduras:Charge it its then?
- Dr. Hatari offers approval thumb.
Honduras:Heee-« 1d20+6 = 12 + 6 = 18 » Haw!
Pumpkinhead 6:SPLAT! Roll damage!
TMG:+2 to the attack for a charge,
Honduras:« 1d4+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 »
TMG:-2 to AC until next turn
Honduras: (( Factored, Tech. :3 ))
TMG:hokays
Pumpkinhead 6:The pumpkin head shatters with a messy SQUELCH, and the scarecrow-like creature flops over onto the ground, still.
Barbarus:Meanwhile, back in the hall of justice!
Gnogglebolt:Yes! They -are- still fragile!
Barbarus:« 1d20+5 = 14 + 5 = 19 » Arrow!
Liatai:For which one? It's a hit.
Barbarus:4.Pumpkinhead 4:THOCK. Damage?
Barbarus:« 1d8+1 = 7 + 1 = 8 »
Pumpkinhead 4:And another pumpkin shatters on impact.
Rambmow:Nice, almost max.
Miron has received initiative.
Liatai:VAE! Miron time! :D
TMG:oh yeah, and don't forget bardsong folks :o
TMG:adding that to Edaric's token now, actually..
VAE:kEdaric:Strum, strum…
Dr. Hatari:Oh, shoot. Those are so easy to forget. :x
- Dr. Hatari notes notes.
TMG:there, museover edaric :>
TMG:*mouse
Liatai:Excellent. :3
Liatai:Miron?
Ghostwish:Yet even more reason to love Gearbox. :>
Ghostwish:http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=120395&highlight=Tora
Miron:Let's see *rolls through book* Pacemakers, pax germanica, poverty, pungent.. Pumpkins!
Miron:« 1d20+10 = 13 + 10 = 23 » Dark Knowledge
Liatai:Nicely done! These constructs, known affectionately as "pumpkinheads," have a nasty habit of kicking their heads at interlopers in their territory. They also are known to resist some of the damage from flames and cold, but tend to be rather fragile.
Miron:Now… Listen up.. being made of straw and vegetables they are rather fragile… never mind the poor reflexes as unlike the skeletons they never had moved before, so they aren't used to do moving around either. Don't use flames and cold , either - the wet straw makes them strong against it
Miron:You all get +1 to attack any pumpkin you meet
Aelian has received initiative.
Ghostwish:YAY!
Aelian:Aelian draws his crossbow, and takes aim at Pumpkinhead 3. Single attack, short range! TWANG! « 1d20+9+1 = 4 + 9 + 1 = 14 » for « 1d8+1 = 7 + 1 = 8 »
Ghostwish:HEY. :Ghostwish::(Faerie:…oh, sorry ^^;
Ghostwish:and yer out of range for short range anywho. :P
Dr. Hatari::BGhostwish:30ft increment. :P
TMG:…Uh. o.O
Faerie:…wow, I suck.
TMG:crossbows have 80 increment
Aelian:"Corellon's longbow, I feel strangely like I've come down with multiple personality disorder…"
Ghostwish:SHORT. RANGE.
Dr. Hatari:I think he meant point blank shot range.
Aelian:"… oh to hell with it. CHARGE!"
TMG:um….oh, you mean ebefits of pointblank shot?
TMG:*benefits
- Faerie truthfully hadn't been paying attention when Ghost came back in, so was following the last thing he heard in terms of who was playing who.
- Thomas Lazarus squints behind the bulwark. "…"
Aelian:Mr. Wants to Be an Elf dashes forward, and knocks off a shot with his longbow! TWANG, closer this time! « 1d20+9 = 4 + 9 = 13 » for « 1d8+1 = 7 + 1 = 8 »
Liatai:Ah.
Liatai:Unfortunately,it misses just by a h — waaaaait a second.
Liatai:You forgot your bonuses! >:O
TMG:bardsong and darknowledge
Dr. Hatari:Think of the support classes!
Liatai:So it is a hit. x3 Which one?
Ghostwish:OH! Didn't know! What do we have going?
Faerie:I just want to say, what sort of luck is that that you'd roll EXACTLY what I got?
Faerie:x3Liatai:+2 to attack from Dark Knowledge and bardsong, +1 to damage from bardsong.
Dr. Hatari:+1/+1 bard song, +1 dark knowledge, hit/damage respectively.
Ghostwish:because I am just that damn awesome.
TMG:we have Bardsong (+1 atk, +1 damage, mouseover Edaric for that)
TMG:and dark knowledge…hey, danman, add the same thing to Miron :o
Ghostwish:Someone say it a fourth time, I didn't get it the first three. :P
TMG:"Dark knowledge (+1 atk vs PH)
Liatai:So which pumpkinhead is exploding today? :3
Ghostwish:E3 sorry
Ghostwish:#3*
TMG:so all in all, +2 attack
TMG:+1 damage
Pumpkinhead 3:SPLAT.
Luethil Aellonor has received initiative.
Luethil Aellonor:Luethil moves to smash the pumpkins - but suddenly - Mule! That.. what.. okay..? >:U She swivels north and kneels to plink off another shortbow shot - this time at punkin' # 3. « 1d20+7-2 = 2 + 7 - 2 = 7 » « 1d6+1 = 6 + 1 = 7 »
Dr. Hatari:Er..
Dr. Hatari:Make that #1
- Dr. Hatari meant to make that blank. :B
Pumpkinhead 3:OW. Not only am I dead, I'm still being shot at? DX … Oh. :B
Liatai:Sploosh!
Tathi has received initiative.
Dr. Hatari:That disembodied measuring tape is so useful. Would be nice at the table.
Tathi:"Possessions and pumpkins and- That's it! EVERYONE DIES!" Tathi announces, and immeiately rips loose with a pair of blazing spikes of light at #1! « 1d4+1+1d4+1 = 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 6 » magic missile damage!
Thomas Lazarus:"Wow, you all need to calm down. They're just punkin's. >.>"
Ghostwish:any of those bonuses add to spell damage?
- Dr. Hatari totally made a HSR reference.
TMG:Sadly, no :B (well, I don't know about dark knowledge, but bardsong doesn't)
Pumpkinhead 1:Those spikes of light pierce straight through the pumkin's eyesockets and explode within the creature's gourded head! KER-SPLAT!!
Elros has received initiative.
Liatai:Go Elros go! :D
Faerie:…can he aim at the Great Pumpkinhead from here, or is the tree in the way?
Liatai:He can aim, but the pumpkinhead has cover.
Elros:Elros looks at the field of dead pumpkins, and decides to try finishing off pumpkinhead 2. « 1d20+6-2 = 7 + 6 - 2 = 11 » And then…+3 from local bonuses?
Liatai:+2, actually, so it's not a hit.
Elros:And shoots wide again. He needs to practice, apparently.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Gnogglebolt:"Okay! So they -are- as fragile as I remember them! But we should still try to cross if we can, I'm suddenly -very- worried about that big one!" Gnogglebolt takes the round to secure everything nonwaterproof in his pack, so he can hold it over his head when it comes time to cross (and his crossbow is on the ground at his side)
Gnogglebolt:end turn
Kethanis Whitebranch has received initiative.
Liatai:Druid time! Go, Meany!

Koehel:Flight power, go~
Dr. Hatari:The star of the show arrives!
- Kethanis Whitebranch now has a bead on the G. Kin. >:U
Ghostwish:question, how passable is the river looking?
Dr. Hatari:x3Dr. Hatari:I suppose Ghost was possessed for that part.
Liatai:Quite passable. Calm, if a little deep in the middle. You might need to swim a little, but it looks like an easy crossing.
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Thomas Lazarus:Tom goes all amphibious assault on punkin' beach, and wades into the shallow portion of the creek with shield still held high. He winds his bastard sword with a flourish to make himself look all the more immediately threatening. (Total defense. Advancing centurian-style again - except, you know, not with 99 other templars.)
Edaric has received initiative.
TMG:don't you mean 299? :>

Meany:Edaric?
Meany::oEdaric:With the bardsong staying in effect for 5 more rounds even without playing, Edaric putsaway his lute and draws his light crossbow :o (two move actions, so end turn)
Great Pumpkinhead:The great pumpkinhead moves forward, expertly plucking its own head clean off its shoulders… « 1d20 = 13 » ranged attack on Aelian!
Great Pumpkinhead:The head ker-PLUNKs in the river right behind Thomas, making waves, as a new one grows.
- TMG plays the Pumpkin Smash sound effect! *k-p-theeewww……K-BWUUUUUG!*
Jalzar has received initiative.
- Thomas Lazarus shudders slightly as the creek water splashes over his back. Brr~rrr~rr. ;~;
Liatai:VAE, it's lizard time!
Jalzar:Jalzar reloads the bow, and lets another round towards the big pumpkin this time
Jalzar:« 1d20+4-2 = 1 + 4 - 2 = 3 »
Jalzar:And again, almost hits thomas
Thomas Lazarus:Clank.
Thomas Lazarus:"Ff—" >:O
Jalzar:Gee,… sorry! I REALLY didn't ….
- Jalzar swears in a hissing way. "Blasted human bow…"
- Thomas Lazarus is not having a good time of it.
Pumpkinhead 2:Hot hot HOT!! The pumkin charges forward and punts its head at Thomas!
- TMG plays the Pumpkin Smash sound effect! *k-p-theeewww……K-BWUUUUUG!*
Pumpkinhead 2:« 1d20+2 = 10 + 2 = 12 » rolling for crits. :B
Pumpkinhead 2:Ker-SPLOOSH!

Barbarus has received initiative.
Liatai:SPLAT!

Liatai:You now have pumpkin-styled modern art on your shield. :B

Thomas Lazarus:"T-tell me about it."

- Barbarus hits Thomas.
Thomas Lazarus:Clank. "SERIOUSLY D:"
Miron has received initiative.
Meany:…Ohnoes.

Liatai:VAE?
TMG:meany; uhoh. How bad?
Meany:o-o
Meany:IRC locked out too.
Liatai:o.o
VAE:here
- Great Pumpkinhead continues to cackle, flames flickering in its gourdlike cranium. Go Miron!
Miron:Miron gets closer, and attempts to crossbow-fire at the mass of fruit
Miron:Saint-Cuthbert-help-me-not-mess-up … as he handles the contraption with little experience
VAE:any penalty?
VAE:i mean , skillwise
Liatai:Nope.
Dr. Hatari:Buffs~
VAE:range?
Dr. Hatari:60ft increment, -2 past that - oh wait, light xbow. Ummm
Meany:Fruit? :V
Miron:« 1d20+1-2 = 17 + 1 - 2 = 16 » At the large pumpkin
Dr. Hatari:80ft
Great Pumpkinhead:THUNK! If only the thing wasn't hiding behind a tree!
Great Pumpkinhead:But, if you take the proper range into account…
Great Pumpkinhead:You've just managed to pierce the thing's straw-filled arm.
Great Pumpkinhead:Roll damage!
TMG:and bonuses
TMG:bardsong and dark knowledge
Dr. Hatari:We can probably trust him to remember the latter. :B
Miron:Thank-you-thank-you-thank-you « 1d6+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 » is it?
TMG:yup
VAE:err, dark lmowledge doesn't boost damage
Aelian has received initiative.
Dr. Hatari:For a gnomish sized one, indeed.
Aelian:The half-elf manuvers slightly, and fires a volley at the pumpkin! 1d20+8] for « 1d8+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 » and « 1d20+8 = 19 + 8 = 27 » for « 1d8+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »! (bardsong, dark knowledge)
Aelian:oops
Aelian:« 1d20+8 = 18 + 8 = 26 » for that first one
Dr. Hatari:Stylin!
Liatai:Roll damage on both!
Ghostwish:I did? :>
Liatai:Ah, read it wrong. :3
Ghostwish:6 points o damage. :>
Great Pumpkinhead:The pumpkinhead is now sporting two feather-fletched antennae.
Luethil Aellonor has received initiative.
TMG:construct, immune to crits, btw
Ghostwish:thank you mr. party pooper.
Liatai:I know, none of those were crits.
TMG:xPLuethil Aellonor:Luethil thinks the better of softening this bow's string in the water, and instead rushes to the coastline to kneel and take another shot. Punkin #2! « 1d20+7 = 6 + 7 = 13 » « 1d6+1 = 5 + 1 = 6 »
Ghostwish:weird fact: there is nothing on Marketplace, a city in Aundair, in the ECS. How curious.
Liatai:Just BARELY missed!
Tathi has received initiative.
Liatai:Hey Ghost, pull your head out of Eberron for a second. XP
Ghostwish:NO. >:O
Liatai:YES. >:O
Ghostwish:Pulling out a wand is a what action?
Dr. Hatari:Move.
Liatai:Move.
Meany:Move.
TMG:*snrk*
Ghostwish:sorry what was it again? :P
- Dr. Hatari starts to bounce to a beat!
Meany:Move, bitch. Git out da way!

Tathi:End turn!

Pumpkinhead 2:They say practice makes perfect… and oh boy, does it! That pumpkin shattered with one hit!
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
TMG:Hmm…
Gnogglebolt:"Alright! Let's back up homas!" Gnogglebolt lifs his pack and crossbow up over his head and heads forward into the water.'
Gnogglebolt:*thomas
Gnogglebolt:half-speed through the water?
Liatai:Gnogglebolt may need to roll a Swim check.
TMG:Hmm. :.
Liatai:The water's nearly up to Thomas' chest at this distance; Gnoggle's likely floating.
Dr. Hatari:He could move into Thomas' square. :B
TMG:yay, leather armor has no check penalty :o
Meany:…
Meany:Ride check?
Dr. Hatari:We practiced that technique just minutes ago. :B
Meany:To ride the Templar.
TMG:swim is….darn, str :o
TMG:oh!
TMG:Yes, of course x3
Liatai:*snrk*
Gnogglebolt:Trying to keep himself afloat on his own, Gnogglebolt nevertheless tries to latch onto Thomas -without- dragging him down anymore.
Gnogglebolt:Still a swim check?
Liatai:Yep.
Liatai:See if the templar needs to play lifeguard. :B
- Thomas Lazarus is standing firm, not swimming (yet). He gladly offers the gnome a hand to stabalize.
Thomas Lazarus:Or, technically his shield.
TMG:Oh no. That's what Gnogglebolt wants to avoid ^^; But okay..and crap. Swim is Str. :B
TMG:here goes nothing…
Gnogglebolt:Swim: « 1d20-1 = 3 - 1 = 2 »
Liatai:D:TMG:Blaaaaargh.
Dr. Hatari:Ba-dum-tsch.
Liatai:The gnome's head goes under!
Kethanis Whitebranch has received initiative.
Tathi:"Gnogglebolt!!!"
TMG:ah…is my turn over—ah ^^;
Barbarus:"Mayday! Mayday!"
Ghostwish:u dead son.
- Thomas Lazarus shouts over his shoulder wearily. "Just keep up the cover fire! We're fine!"
Miron:GNOGGLEBOLT!?
Dr. Hatari:Don't be silly. He'll be fine for many, many rounds still.
Liatai:Fortunately, Thomas can rescue Gnogglebolt as a free action. :3
Ghostwish:drowning, a slot, painful death. :>
Dr. Hatari:It's not Assassin's Creed water. :P
Ghostwish:*slow
Meany:Or wer can do ths the embarrassing way.
- Liatai snerks. Oh that deadly Assassin's Creed water.
Meany:What's Kethanis's handle animal mod? :B
Liatai:+11. Darn high. Maxed out.
TMG:…can I ready an action with my head underwater? In this case, a free actuion? ^^;
Liatai:What would that be? x3
Dr. Hatari:No, seriously, we're fine the the party shouldn't panick from 3 seconds of being underwater.
Dr. Hatari:Come on. :B
TMG:namely, saying a few words the momen his head goes back up? :B
Kethanis Whitebranch:« 1d20+11 = 16 + 11 = 27 »
Liatai:Sure. :3
TMG:and yeah, party shouldn't panic too bad
Kethanis Whitebranch:Honduras is told to Defend Gnoggle. :V
Honduras:*chomp*
Dr. Hatari:Hahaha.
Honduras:Yer lifted out of the water by yer armor, boyo.
Liatai:Don't forget the hawk!
Koehel:Scree?
Koehel:« 1d20+8 = 5 + 8 = 13 » « 1d4+2 = 2 + 2 = 4 »
Great Pumpkinhead:AoO - « 1d20+7 = 20 + 7 = 27 »
Dr. Hatari:D:Gnogglebolt:AcThe moment Gnogglebolt's head is abovewater again (and he held his mouth closed) "I'mfineI'llgoback!"
Great Pumpkinhead:Crit confirm - « 1d20+7 = 16 + 7 = 23 »
TMG:O.O
Great Pumpkinhead:« 1d6+5 = 5 + 5 = 10 »
Dr. Hatari:KOEHEL NO IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME D:* Meany is a jinx. :B
Meany:Oh that poor hawk so dead. D:TMG:Oh no oh no oh no D:Koehel:AWK!!! The bird gives a horrid cry and falls to the ground, swatted.
Kethanis Whitebranch:"KOEHEL!!"
TMG:(oh, wait. -10 grace ^^; )
Meany:Next time, someone claim the NPC with frail minions first. :B
Dr. Hatari:(I don't even think he needs it. :B)
Meany:Moving on~
Kethanis Whitebranch:"Someone HELP HIM!"
Dr. Hatari:What is Koehel's status? It's relevant for Tom.
Barbarus:"Honduras! >:O"
Liatai:Dying, but not dead. -7 HP.
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Dr. Hatari:Alright. Gonna need an immediate ruling on this, but it seems reasonable to me. Let me know.
Thomas Lazarus:Seeing as the templar is fully encased and carrying more than 80 pounds of steel, he rather decides to forego any attempts at "swimming" the middle of the creek, nigh-impossible as it is. Thomas draws a deep breath and plunges below the waterline! He simply tries to walk across the riverbed, slippery and awkward as the stones may be.
Liatai:That's fine. x3
TMG:(andf I assume everyone saw him deliberately take a deep breath, so no panicing?)
Dr. Hatari:Assuming rough terrain, double-move.
Edaric has received initiative.
TMG:oh, edaric!
- Thomas Lazarus emerges from the other side of the river with a 'sploosh' and gasp, white hair splayed over his face. Tom furrows his brow and throws an open palm out towards Koehel.
Thomas Lazarus:(Immediate action: Close Wounds. « 1d4+5 = 2 + 5 = 7 » healing to Koehel.)
Tathi:Tathi raises an eyebrow, and smirks. "Well, there's one way to solve a problem."
- Faerie for some reason just pictured TMG going "Oh, Edaric~"
Faerie:>.>
Dr. Hatari:Pft. :p
Edaric:Edaric moves to a better angle and tries to fire his own light crossbow as-NO. X_X
Faerie:Don't mind me. 0:3
Thomas Lazarus:"..There.." he mutters after the enchantment does its life-saving work.
Koehel:The hawk gives a weak cry and flaps one wing. Kethanis, while still looking panic-stricken, gives a quick sigh of relief.
Edaric:Edaric fires his own light crossbow. « 1d20+3+2 = 8 + 3 + 2 = 13 » « 1d8+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »!
Liatai:Whiff! But just barely.
Edaric:end turn
Great Pumpkinhead:The large creature PUNTS its head toward Thomas! « 1d20+2 = 20 + 2 = 22 » ranged attack!
Great Pumpkinhead:Crit confirm - « 1d20+2 = 2 + 2 = 4 »
Ghostwish:DAMNIT THOMAS. XD
Dr. Hatari:"COM—" BAMSCH
Great Pumpkinhead:Still a rather painful experience as a pumpkin the size of a cart slams into you. « 1d6+5 = 5 + 5 = 10 » bludgeoning damage!
- Thomas Lazarus was rather distracted by struggling through the creek waters to save Koehel's life, and doesn't have his guard raised for when the humorously large gourd crashes into him. He nearly submerges again. "Fmbblblll!"
- TMG plays the Pumpkin Smash sound effect! *k-p-theeewww…..K-BWUUUUUG!*
Great Pumpkinhead:It then steps to the side, hiding even more behind a tree.
Jalzar has received initiative.
Liatai:VAE?
Miron:'ere
Miron:ouch
Dr. Hatari:Tom has exactly the streak of luck I want him to have. :B
Jalzar:"Enough of this."
VAE:where be the big pumpkin?
TMG:hiding behind the tree
Jalzar:The lizardman wades forward into the water — the DM is briefly assuming control.
TMG:"Assuming direct control." (wherever that's from :B )
VAE:oh, he didn't catch him
VAE:*facepaws*
Jalzar:Swim check - « 1d20+4 = 4 + 4 = 8 »
Ghostwish:Mass Effect II. :P
Jalzar:The lizardman dips below the surface of the water, but plows forward.
Barbarus has received initiative.
Dr. Hatari:Hahah. There is an antagonist in Mass Effect 2 - a high ranking member of a hive-mind alien species. You never encounter it, but it can possess its species drones. It says "ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL" very robotically every time it does so. For whatever reason this became very popular on the net. :B
TMG:Heh heh. I can see why. x3
Liatai:Meany?
VAE:meh turn again?
Liatai:Sorry about that, VAE. It's just the muse shook me by the shoulders and went "I AM A TANK. WHAT AM I DOING." :B
VAE:no prob
VAE:it's just as the game follows, the scrolling etc is getting worse and worse
- Dr. Hatari sprays Barbarus' nose with a squeeze-bottle. >:o
TMG:*spritz spritz spritz*!
Liatai:I give him two more minutes. Then I assume control. :B
Meany:skip the minutes, assume now
Liatai:?Meany:busy
Liatai:… Okay then. ^^;
Meany:hunting down power chords
Barbarus:« 1d20+4+mod = 11 + 4 + 2 = 17 » Fwip! Longbow arrow coming at you for « 1d8+modb = 2 + 1 = 3 » damage!
Dr. Hatari:http://i51.tinypic.com/23kub68.jpg
Miron has received initiative.
- RAM plays power-chord on guitar.
Liatai:VAE?
TMG:on the other hand, Explorer's Handbook actually does have travel times for various routes, but I'm not sure how extensive they are
TMG:oops
Liatai:….
VAE:one lynx, incoming
Liatai:Folks, is it too much to ask that you keep your head in Akellon while you're in Akellon?
TMG:I'm present D:Liatai:I don't travel to Akellon while I'm in Eberron. A little reciprocal courtesy would be nice. >:
TMG:ghost was just bugging me about something ^^;
Miron:Miron reloads thhe crossbow
Ghostwish:there's few excuses.. I am plotting Cold War stuff, but really, how long does it take me to take an action?
VAE:that's fullround , right?
Dr. Hatari:No, just move.
Liatai:Nope, move action for a light crossbow.
VAE:bow is move.. ah, light crossbow!
Dr. Hatari:Full round is for heavy crossbows that require cranks.
Miron:Subsequently, he takes up something closer to a firing position
Aelian has received initiative.
Aelian:The ranger moves down the bank to get a clear shot, and then lets an arrow fly! TWANG « 1d20+10 = 6 + 10 = 16 » for « 1d8+1 = 6 + 1 = 7 » damage! (bardsong, dark knowledge)
Aelian:ooo, lemme check range
Liatai:I know, I'm sorry. Just… a little pet peeve of mine. It feels like people aren't paying attention, and it slows things down.
Aelian:Yup, phew, within 10 feet of increment
- Dr. Hatari pats. ^^;
Liatai:I'd like to hopefully get you guys off this map by the time Hatari has to leave. >.>
Ghostwish:right, that ends the turn for the ranger. brb right quick to grab some grub!
- Faerie apologizes for brief afk, was on a call from home.
VAE:well, normally it works better..it's just this bloody refresh thing makes it harder to both battle and do other things
Luethil Aellonor has received initiative.
Luethil Aellonor:Drat.. second-hand beggar weapons! Atleast the bow isn't much worse than this club. Luethil sprints along the length of the eastern coast a few seconds before stopping to line up another shot. Fwip! « 1d20+7-2 = 4 + 7 - 2 = 9 » « 1d6+1 = 6 + 1 = 7 »
Meany:back
Tathi has received initiative.
Great Pumpkinhead:The arrow lodges in a downed pumpkinhead. SPLUTCH.
Tathi:Tathi is just barely able to keep a bead on the thing as it circles around the tree, and points the wand at the one area exposed.. Two blasts rip forth! « 1d4+1+1d4+1 = 4 + 1 + 4 + 1 = 10 » magic missile damage!
Great Pumpkinhead:WHAM! A puff of straw stuffing flies out the creature's back!
TMG:whoa :O
Elros has received initiative.
TMG:max damage!
Rambmow:MAX DAMAGE!
Great Pumpkinhead:Hey! That was my only shirt! >:O
Dr. Hatari:Hm.. does anyone know if I can share a square with a tiny incapacitated creature?
Liatai:You can.
Dr. Hatari:Is any of the terrain between here and there rough?
- Liatai looked it up when Sszeyl was in a staring match with LiNeer.
- Dr. Hatari isn't sure if that is elevated tree canopy or brush.
Liatai:Elevated tree canopy. :3 You're in the clear.
- Dr. Hatari offers thumbs-up.
Liatai:Fae?
- Liatai sighs and drums fingers. Please, Fae, let me know when you're going to be AFK for a phone call. >.>
- Jalzar bubbles a little under the water's surface. His crest is poking up through the water like a shark's fin.
Faerie:Sorry, on a Skype call. >
Faerie:>.>
Faerie:Can, um…
Meany:All in favour of ending this session after combat is over? :O
Liatai:Please just let me know when that happens so I can set you on auto. :/ It's not really fair to everyone to have to wait, and it really slows things down.
Dr. Hatari:What?
Liatai:Not I! I want to get you guys off this map! >:O
Dr. Hatari:Why?
Ghostwish:Hey Liatai? 5 minute time limit for now on?
Meany:I have four hours of math homework to do. :V
Meany:Due by midnight.
Liatai:I'm considering instituting one, Ghostwish.
Meany:Also!
Meany:Game has been lagged.
Meany:Horrifically. :C
TMG:come on people, just focus and doyour turns quickly >.>
TMG:meany; that's that supposed to mean?
TMG:"game has been lagged"?
Liatai:If it's your turn and you don't respond in ten minutes, I might end up just skipping your turn. You have been warned.
Faerie:OKAY, OKAY
Meany:Slowed down. Stalled. Diverted. It has been derailed.
Dr. Hatari:It hasn't been that bad. People just keep minimizing combat.
TMG:meany; do you mean your client?
Elros:Elros puts his bow away, and jumps into the river, to try to swim across. Swim check « 1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10 »
TMG:your computer is experiencing lag?
Liatai:Easily makes it!
Ghostwish:no, tech, the long ass turns. XD
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Meany:Escape artist check, Gnoggle? :B
Meany:Or opposed grapple.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt gets back to shore.
Gnogglebolt:wait, what? what the hell?
Liatai:You're still in the mule's toothy grasp. ^^;
TMG:…Um. o.O
RAM:You have a crossbow, right?
TMG:…so what can I do? D:RAM:Fire from the Mule's grasp!
Dr. Hatari:He was given a defend command, the Gnome could probably just be like, 'stop' fwap, and move on.
TMG:kinda can't use the crossbow right now >.>
RAM:Aww.
Dr. Hatari:The mule isn't under any unreasonable trolling obligation to grapple the guy.
Gnogglebolt:Alright then, Gnogglebolt pats the mule (it should -not- have it's teeth on him if the command was defend), and goes back to shore.
Kethanis Whitebranch has received initiative.
Liatai:Meany, are you around, or shall I assume control?
Liatai:… On second thought, yeah, I'm assuming control this turn. ^^;
Kethanis Whitebranch:"Koehel, hang on, I'm coming!" The druid rushes forward, headed for the water.
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
Koehel:*awk D:*
Thomas Lazarus:The dripping templar builds momentum into an ominously 'clunk, clunk, clank!'ing charge! "Hold on, friend..!" (AoO presumably prevoked! Domain power! Charge attack! All that kind of thing! « 1d20+15 = 17 + 15 = 32 » « 1d10+7 = 1 + 7 = 8 »)
Dr. Hatari:Oh, forgot the first part.
Dr. Hatari:Tom pushes the crushed remains of the last few dozen pounds of pumpkin off of himsef, then sloshes to the shore. >:|
TMG:x3Great Pumpkinhead:« 1d20+7 = 7 + 7 = 14 » AoO with claws made of sharpened wood! « 1d6+5 = 4 + 5 = 9 » damage on a hit.

Edaric has received initiative.
Edaric:Edaric, now that Thomas is engaging the thing in melee, lifts his pack over his head and goes into the water himself!
Meany:That was a good call.
Meany:Parents decided to have a fit. :B
Dr. Hatari:Ack. :o
- Meany silently prays for heart attacks upon them.
Liatai:Oof o.o;;
Edaric:How far can he go?
Meany:Or a stroke.
Meany:A stroke would be nice. |3
Liatai:Where did he start?
Edaric:double-move actions
VAE:meh, imagine the medical bill, owl
Meany:What medical bill?
VAE:not like they are insured properly
Meany:I simply don't call 911.
VAE:and get arrested
Meany:For what?
VAE:law requires you to
Meany:Nope.
Meany::3Dr. Hatari:Can you can take irrelevant morbid rambling to whispers or IRC please?
VAE:if you see someone in danger of life and you don't aid or alert the authorities, you commit a crime
VAE:at least in slovakia
Edaric:« 1d20+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 » Swim check!
Ghostwish:in soviet slovakia, 911 calls YOU!
Ghostwish:OH GODS
Meany:Haha no.
Edaric:BLUB.
Meany::PGhostwish:LIFE GUARD!
Dr. Hatari:Haha, oh wow.

Meany:To the rescue!

TMG:(yes, to the irc, meany and danman)
TMG:also; whoa. xD
- Great Pumpkinhead claws at the sodden armored man before it! « 1d20+7 = 1 + 7 = 8 » for « 1d6+5 = 6 + 5 = 11 »!
Great Pumpkinhead:And its claws get caught in the tree!

Gnogglebolt:I swear, I need to go back home and buy one of those Instant Bridges…."
Gnogglebolt:erp, no quote
Miron:Miron attempts to move such as to get a clear enough shot
VAE:hmm, score?
Dr. Hatari:And Tathi's propensity for weird fetish stuff grows. :B
Liatai:-2. It's juuuuust outside of one range increment.
TMG:danman; er, you do know you get -4 firing into melee penalty, right?
Meany:-6~
TMG:On top of the range penalty.
VAE:is there a melee going on?
Dr. Hatari:On the other side, indeed.
Liatai:Yep, Thomas versus pumpkin.
Meany:G. KinxThomas.
Miron:Miron risks it anyways « 1d20-6+1 = 15 - 6 + 1 = 10 » With Cuthbert's help!
Meany::VLiatai:Well, Cuthbert's mercy kept it from lodging in Jalzar's back.
Aelian has received initiative.
Aelian:Pretty boy keeps moving along the shore to keep the damn thing in his sights. TWANG « 1d20+10 = 1 + 10 = 11 » for « 1d8+1 = 5 + 1 = 6 » damage! (bardsong, dark knowledge)
Liatai:Guess what?
Meany:And it hits Honduras?
Aelian:… and stuck it in the back of Thomas' armor?
Liatai:It just hit Thomas. XP
Thomas Lazarus:Clank.
Thomas Lazarus:"YOU GUYS D:"
Aelian:"Uh… my bad?"
Tathi:"Some elf.."
- Liatai is laughing so hard. XD
Barbarus:"Smoooth. :."
Aelian::*Aelian::*(
Aelian:"Damn it!"
Gnogglebolt:"No more archery! Get across!"
Luethil Aellonor has received initiative.
- Luethil Aellonor drops her bow at the Gnome's cue and goes plowing into the drink! Let's see..
- RAM is also laughing quite hard.
Ghostwish:ogawd we're all going to drown. XD
Luethil Aellonor:Swim! « 1d20-2 = 1 - 2 = -1 »
Dr. Hatari:NOPE.
Liatai:+2 -3 +2 … so +1 modifier. If she loses the shield.
TMG:Holy crap. xD
TMG:Seriously?!?
Dr. Hatari:Ah. :O
TMG:ANOTHER nat 1? XD
Luethil Aellonor:BLUB.
RAM:Keep recharging those d20.
Tathi:"Belay that!! STAY OUT OF THE RIVER!"
Dr. Hatari:lmao
Barbarus:"Honduras, get the elf."
Liatai:You would swear this river is cursed. XD
Liatai:… Well… >.>
Gnogglebolt:"What is it with this river?
Edaric:"Did the witch curse it?!"
Barbarus:"Technically, it's a creek."
Tathi has received initiative.
Barbarus:"A river would be much wider."
Dr. Hatari:Well, we're making 1 failed swim check out to be a lot more catastrophic than it realistically is. But lulz all the same. x3
Barbarus:"And deeper. Also, not so calm."
Barbarus:"Plus, there'd be some species of predatory fish."
Tathi:Tathi, still able to see a portion of the nasty critter, fires off from her wand again. "DIE DAMNIT DIE!" « 1d4+1+1d4+1 = 3 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 7 » magic missile damage!
Meany::VTathi:And done. :>
Great Pumpkinhead:Not QUITE enough! But one of its arms is devoid of stuffing, and it's hemmoraging straw!
Elros has received initiative.
Great Pumpkinhead:May all of you get hay fever! DX
Faerie:Can Elros just climb out of the water now?
Liatai:Yep. :3
Dr. Hatari:I'm imaging one of those evil conference type things, where the speakers are all cloaked in shadows.
Dr. Hatari:And one of them is just this river. :O
Liatai:XDMeany:Evil geographic features?
Dr. Hatari:IT SHALL BROOK NO PASSAGE.
Liatai:You know, I was going to put a curse on this river that would affect you if you swallowed the water. But… I think it's cursed enough. XD
Meany:…
Meany:The river of gender changing? :B
Liatai:Nah, you'll see.
Meany:…
Meany:Rainbow hair?
- Dr. Hatari is so well prepared for that, its embarassing.
Elros:Elros climbs out of the river, and draws his swords while walking towards the giant pumpkinhead.
Liatai:For rainbow hair or gender swapping? XP
Liatai:All done, Elros?
Dr. Hatari:Rainbow hair curse I admittedly haven't considered.
Meany:Not coloured like the rainbow.
Meany:Your hair becomes an actual rainbow
Meany:.*RAM:YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
Faerie:Yes, all done.
Gnogglebolt:"Alright, I've got it!" Gnogglebolt gets into his pack, pulls out a length of rope and the grappling hook, and ties them together. End turn.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Kethanis Whitebranch has received initiative.
Meany:Ninja :V
Liatai:And thus his turn ended before it began. XP
Meany:Swim mod? :V
Kethanis Whitebranch:"I'm coming — " « 1d20+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 » Swim check!
Meany:Ohgods.
Kethanis Whitebranch:… Are you serious. XD
Kethanis Whitebranch:BLUB.
Dr. Hatari:BLURBLEMURGLE
TMG:This river is literally swallowing ups up xD
TMG:*us up
RAM:Yep, the river is channeling Gandalf.
Meany:No.
Liatai:Blah! It's DC 10! XD
Meany:It's Elrond's river.
Meany:And he can command it.
- TMG can't even help from laughin anymore
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.
- Liatai is laughing so hard. XD
- Thomas Lazarus slides into full view of the pumpkin king just before lunging towards it! A horizontal slash for the neck! « 1d20+11 = 9 + 11 = 20 » « 1d10+4 = 4 + 4 = 8 »
RAM:Nah, that river has, like, horses and rocks.
Tathi:"Get out of the damn river!"
Great Pumpkinhead:SLICE!
Barbarus:"Honduras, help the Druid. The elf seems to be recovering."
Great Pumpkinhead:And just like that, the pumpkin rolls away across the ground, eerie lights flickering out. The body of the wood and straw creature teeters, then falls to the ground in a puff of hay.
Barbarus:"Hmm, don't like that shade of blue, actually."
- Liatai plays victory music! :D
Barbarus:« 1d20+3 = 18 + 3 = 21 » Handle animal.
Faerie:Sorry for being majorly away, but as I said, my parents called.
Honduras:*chomp*
Barbarus:Twist, fwsssh.
Edaric:« 1d20+1 = 17 + 1 = 18 » Swim check!
Edaric:Swim check to get to the other side! « 1d20+1 = 5 + 1 = 6 »
Thomas Lazarus:*Huff* "Finally… what an — oh!" Thomas remembers himself and kneels by Koehel.
TMG:nevermind. x3
Barbarus:Barbie is no longer armored!
Faerie:I feel guilty diverting my attention away while talking to them.
- Thomas Lazarus heals the fallen hawk for « 1d8+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 »
Faerie:I am, however, back now.
Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16 » Swim check to assist.
Liatai:I completely understand. But it would still be nice to know when you're distracted. ^^;
- Kethanis Whitebranch is yanked up out of the water with a gasp. "Koehel!" « 1d20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23 »
Tathi:".. so we're all crossing the creek of doom, then?"
Gnogglebolt:"Okay, here we go!" Gnogglebolt winds up the drappling hook like a bola, then tosses it across the river.
Kethanis Whitebranch:VROOM. Superdruid!
Gnogglebolt:And as long as it lands on the other side, "Someone secure that!"
Barbarus:Luethil, you alive?
Faerie:And I'll be sure to let you know more clearly next time. I am, as I said though, back now.
- Barbarus is pulling you to the surface. :V
Thomas Lazarus:Tom leaves the recovering hawk to its master for now.
TMG:Edaric secures the grappling hook end of the rope?
Luethil Aellonor:*Gasp!* The elf then begins to swear fluently and angrily in Elven.
Luethil Aellonor:*blup glub elf elf :B*
- Faerie grumbles. Just not a good day today, apparently.
Dr. Hatari:Eheh.
Barbarus:"Feel up to moving across from here?"
Barbarus:"Or perhaps you'd like to use the rope?"
Luethil Aellonor:"Feh!" « 1d20+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 » Swim check!
Thomas Lazarus:Tom takes the other end of Gnogglebolt's grappling hook and wraps it around his arm once.
TMG:….
Luethil Aellonor:BLUB. XD XD XD
Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 20 + 4 = 24 »
Thomas Lazarus:"I've got it. Come on over, everyone."
Gnogglebolt:With the grappling hook end secure,d Gnogglebolt then just "clims" the robe across.
Thomas Lazarus:Oh noes Luethil. D:Gnogglebolt:…gha. So may typos.
Tathi:Tathi follows.
Kethanis Whitebranch:"Koehel, oh thank the wilds your're safe… Thank you, friend!"
Aelian:As does half-elf.
Barbarus:Barbie brings her back up to the surface.
Miron:So does Miron
Liatai:Hang on, lag!
- Thomas Lazarus waves in the air without turning around.
- Luethil Aellonor tries again! Pride winning out over common sense. « 1d20+1 = 11 + 1 = 12 »
Barbarus:"Much better." :3
Thomas Lazarus:"He's a comrade. Just doing my duty."
TMG:ANd you know what?
Barbarus:Barbie spends…a few minutes getting his armor back on.
TMG:We all probably could have taken 10. x3
Barbarus:"Rassafrassin' belts."
Dr. Hatari:olololol
Ezer:Oh hey. Do I need a swim check to cross the river?
Liatai:No, you can take 10. You're not being threatened now. x3
Honduras:Ride the mule.
TMG:definitely not kitty :o can abolutely take 10 now
Ezer:Ezer sticks a paw in. Cold! D:Aelian:"Edaric! All clear?"
Ezer:Ezer hops up onto the mule's back. Why thank you. :D
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, likewise, checks all of his belongings and gives them what minimal dry-off he can.
Edaric:"Clear!"
Honduras:*No probs.*
- Thomas Lazarus is still soaked, and his cloak and hair are dripping. He isn't whining, though.
- Aelian crosses on the rope.
Edaric:"…."
- Edaric has a bit of a wibble face.
Faerie:Umm…I'm gonna restart my client a sec, if that's alright.
Faerie:It's being slow.
Edaric:"My lute… it's waterlogged… ;~;"
Gnogglebolt:"Er…it can just be dried out, right edaric?"
Thomas Lazarus:"Heh.. maybe.. maybe Tathi can help you?"
Faerie is disconnected.
Liatai:Sure. We'll whisper you anything you miss— dangit.
Faerie has connected.
Barbarus:"Gah, stupid apprentice white colour."
Barbarus:"My clothes are all transparanent now. :/"
TMG:so, tathi and barbarus? are they across the river?
Edaric:"But the wood might warp! It'll completely change the tone quality!" D: Fret fret fret.
- Barbarus is donning armor.
Faerie:…not really convinced this is better, but eh.
Faerie:…actually, it is.
TMG:meany, I mean, barb's token is still on the other side
TMG:so is tathi's
Barbarus: (( Yah. ))
Aelian:"Oh relax. If worst comes to worst, buy a new one."
Tathi:"Ick.. of all the things to use as weapons.. pumpkins?"
Barbarus:"Hold your horses! I'll be there in a minute!"
Edaric:"Easy for you to say!"
Tathi:"Erm… Thomas?" Tathi says, starting to giggle.
Thomas Lazarus:He looks around to Tathi. "?"
Tathi:"You've got an arrow.. sticking out of your butt."
Thomas Lazarus:"I know."
Miron:Hmm, this signifies two possible things
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt rubs his forehead. "Well, that was quite the delay…"
Barbarus:"Okay, coming across. :o"
Miron:either she grossly miscalculated our strength, which i doubt, or she's pulling back to defend, and leaving these to just cover ground
Barbarus:Just to test the nat twenty pool…« 1d20+1 = 12 + 1 = 13 »
Rambmow:Rambmow simply floats across.
Barbarus:Checking DCs…
TMG:you don't need a check, there's the rope o.O
Jalzar:"My most sincere apologies, priest. I am normally a much better hand with the bow."
Gnogglebolt:Once Barbarus is safely across, Gnogglebolt winds his rope back up and puts it and the grapple hook away in his pack again.
Thomas Lazarus:"Gnogglebolt.. I hate to say it, but I'm a little concerned with directly engaging the Druidess now. I used my last life-saving spell that doesn't require a touch."
Jalzar:"I simply don't know what came over me."
Barbarus:Fine, for literary fluff. :V
Thomas Lazarus:"We could go on, but if someone takes a mortal wound… …that's it for them."
Barbarus:Barbie walks along the rope, all catly.
Miron:Hmm… but if we turn away now, or wait, she'll come prepared
Thomas Lazarus:"That's true, too." Tom sighs.
Miron:and not even healing magics of yours can raise someone killed outright.
- Kethanis Whitebranch strokes the hawk's feathers. "… Then we are doubly in your debt."
Meany is disconnected.
Meany is disconnected.
Ghostwish:meany is -yah
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sighs. "We all know the risks. But we're took far in now. We're -right- in her terriroty. If we camp now and she has -any- sense at all, she'll send eevrything she has right at us as we rest."
Gnogglebolt:"Personally, I think that to be the greater risk."
Miron:I vote we press on. There are two bad choices ahead, but saint Cuthbert cherishes the brave. At least if any of us falls in battle, he'll be welcomed into paradise.
Thomas Lazarus:"—Well, I can stop it if it happens, well, right then. An emergency prayer I picked up. But.."
- Thomas Lazarus nods somberly. "..I understand.. you're both right. We'll just have to be careful."
Meany has connected.
Liatai:Be right back, carry on.
TMG:last thing you saw, meany?
Elros:"It will not be of any benefit to us if we face her exhausted. However, A would be fine with continuing, for now."
Meany:Barbarus: Fine, for literary fluff. :V Thomas Lazarus: "We could go on, but if someone takes a mortal wound… …that's it for them." Barbarus: Barbie walks along the rope, all catly. Miron: Hmm… but if we turn away now, or wait, she'll come prepared Thomas Lazarus: "That's true, too." Tom sighs.
Thomas Lazarus:"Is anyone else…" Thomas looks over the others for injuries. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, fine, nope. Thomas dons a rather frank expression as he looks down at himself, claw mark'd, pumpkin splattered, soaking wet and stuck with no less than 3 friendly arrows.
TMG:whispered
Thomas Lazarus:"Nevermind."
- Thomas Lazarus uses the curing wand on himself! « 2d8+2 = 9 + 2 = 11 »
Dr. Hatari:Best 750gp ever, by the way.
Meany:Pah!
Meany:Pah, I say, Pah!
Gnogglebolt:"I have to say though, the pumpkin-headed things were not as threatening as I remember them. the big one wasn't terrible, either."
Dr. Hatari:Oh I'm sorry I didn't buy a door with it. :B
- Koehel is still injured.
Gnogglebolt:"We still cannot underestimate the witch, but…I think we can handle anything she has left."
Miron:As i said.. i'd guess she left them just to cover ground
Gnogglebolt:"Or that."
Gnogglebolt:"Which is a bit more of a problem."
Miron:As constructs, they probably are joint with her will… they are glorified wards, really, to alert her when someone breaks trhough and delay them
Gnogglebolt:"But still, we must forge on. We all know what we're getting into."
Aelian:"Then maybe we should search the area for clues.
Gnogglebolt:"We'll just have to stick closer together this time."
- Thomas Lazarus wrings out his cloak and steps over to check on Kethanis and Koehel. Heal check! « 1d20+6 = 4 + 6 = 10 »
Gnogglebolt:"We can't get so disorganized like we just did, but…ah, that's a good idea, as long as we don't take too long."
Aelian:"A precursory search will take very little time."
Gnogglebolt:"Maybe we'll find that wizard that possessed Tathi…"
- Thomas Lazarus also breaks the arrow shafts off of his armor with a few swipes of his shield. =3=
Koehel:Koehel is injured, Kethanis is not… but your roll isn't quite high enough to get actual HP amounts.
Gnogglebolt:Search check around the site! « 1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15 »
TMG:uhoh
TMG:ram and ghost, you DC'd from irc
- Thomas Lazarus is just too generous to hold back. A few more taps for Koehel. « 2d8+2 = 11 + 2 = 13 »
- Koehel skrees loudly and gratefully! Back to full health!
Liatai:Around the stones, the party will find 200 GP, a carved wooden statue of a bird, and a blue sapphire gem.
Dr. Hatari:I have actually tracked every charge from that wand, for the record. It's at 14/50.
Dr. Hatari:Good that we found the other.
Liatai:Indeed. And a very wise investment. :3
Rambmow:NUUUU!
- Thomas Lazarus allows the others to go about investigating. He puts away his gear and collapses next to the tree for a rest. Phew.
Elros:"Pretty items, but they don't seem terribly useful unless they're enchanted."
Gnogglebolt:"Indeed. We can check them over later, or sell them when we return."
- Kethanis Whitebranch stands, letting Koehel stretch his wings. "I can't thank you enough, Thomas. Koehel is like a brother to me."
Rambmow:Rambmow hugs the items.
- Thomas Lazarus half-smirks. "I had noticed."
Thomas Lazarus:"You've done as much or more for us. Don't worry about it."
Gnogglebolt:"Anyway, everyone take a few minutes to recuperate…say when you're ready to move out."
- Edaric is fretfully — pardon the pun — tuning the lute. « 1d20+11-2 = 8 + 11 - 2 = 17 »
- Edaric breathes a sigh of relief. "She doesn't seem too badly off." :D
Tathi:"Let's hope there's not many more of these.. I am low on spells as is."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt rubs his forehead. "I keep telling you to save them…"
- Thomas Lazarus unhooks the quiver from his belt and offers it in the air, to anyone.
Thomas Lazarus:"Bolts."
Elros:"Thank you, but I have enough."
Rambmow:Tathi, I present to you, Tordek. http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Tordek
TMG:brb
Thomas Lazarus:"The little magic I have left should fortify every one of us for the final battle - and a little bit for my sword. Perhaps a blessing of strength for Elros."
Tathi:She sighs. "Gnogglebolt, you seem to fail to realize that if I am not casting spells, I am not doing anything worthy of mention!"
VAE:a long as you don't present trogdor..
Rambmow:Specifically, second paragraph in the Tale of Tordek.
Dr. Hatari:Going afk a few minutes.
Dr. Hatari:Brb~
Liatai:Don't mind me, just arranging. Keep going. :3
Elros:"Save your magic for where it would be most useful, of course."
- Luethil Aellonor scowls at the river.
Luethil Aellonor:"That witch's lair had water running through it."
- Jalzar nods. "I was blindfolded when I was taken into the woods, but I can rememer the sound of rushing water."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up to Tathi and sighs. "Then -don't- do anything of mention. If it's a non-critical situation that we -can- handle without magic, then by all means, let us."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks over at Jalzar and Luethil.
Gnogglebolt:"Though, it seems we are nearing the heart of darkness anyway."
Gnogglebolt:"Just save your spells for the witch herself. Let us handle the minions."
Meany:Sorry.
Meany:Summoned without warning. :/
Meany:And I gotta go anyway.
Meany:Bye.
TMG:Aw, man. :(
Liatai:Aack. >: See ya, Meany.
Meany is disconnected.
- Edaric nods. "Say, Tathi, you have a bow, right?"
Gnogglebolt:"So, is everyone ready to proceed? We are in the witche's territory now, and we must find her lair."
Edaric:"It's not as potent as a practiced spell, but, it
Tathi:"I do. It'll be my only option once the spells run out."
Edaric:"It's not as potent as a practiced spell, but, it's something, right?"
Edaric:"You might be able to use it before your spells run out. Make them stretch a little farther, yeah?"
Gnogglebolt:"Indeed! Just use your bow for now. When the witch herself appears, or if we meet some elite guardian, -then-your magic is warranted."
Edaric:"That way, you're still doing something, but you're still conserving your energy… am I making sense?"
Tathi:She sighs. "Of course. But I am no archer. That is my point."
Miron:Indeed… i am no archer either… but in minor battles it suffices
Gnogglebolt:"Doesn't matter. As long as you -can- use it, then do so. No, it won't be as effective as your magic, but that -isn't- the point."
- Edaric stretches as the party walks. "All you need's a little luck for it to work out~"
Aelian:"Don't you start singing now. The forest has ears."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt starts walking with the group. "Just don't use your magic on small minions anymore. Save it for the masters."
Miron:Miron shakes again at the mention… open forest, anyone can hear, attack.. and all the evil huge animals and plants
- Edaric frowns, but stays quiet.
Gnogglebolt:Under his breath, Gnogglebolt is cycling through several languages, cursing the uselessness of magic because it is so limited, and wishing he had a —— gun.
Gnogglebolt:As long as you've got the ammo, you can fire all day…
Miron:Don't forget… when she loses the ability to cast spells, i can mute the voice of everyone in a rather sizable area
TMG:so…is the party moving on? :o
Miron:The power of Saint Cuthbert goes beyond simple harm to the vile.
TMG:Gnogglebolt glances to Miron. "…Hmm. That actually may be useful."
TMG:oops, impersonated
TMG:Anyway! Who else is still here and aware?
GM:The party leaves behind the graveyard of slightly roasted, damp pumpkins and follows the river…
GM:Let's get an awareness check.
TMG:Present and alert!
VAE:the lynx is! and atm, his guts have come to a more gandhi-like protest
Faerie:…
Rambmow:Mmm, food…
Faerie:Not sure what VAE means, but I'm a tad hungry.
VAE:VAE means that he had to run off several times before
GM:Just three?
GM:Well, two and a hungry one. ^^;
TMG:Ghost?
TMG:hatari?
GM:Hatari's still AFK, I think.

TMG:oy o.O
Dr. Hatari has connected.
TMG:There we go. That's everyone back.

Ghostwish:And Thomas for the THIRD. THIRD EDITION. OF COME AT ME BRO
GM:The river is getting an EXP award all its own. XD
TMG:You mean foruth :>
TMG:*fourth
RAM:Can there be nominations for near-drownings?
Dr. Hatari:Getting crit'd doesn't seem all that remarkable in the face of all the other abuse and punishment he had to endure in leading the river charge.
RAM:ALSO!
Dr. Hatari:I got shot FOUR times. >:B
RAM:I nominate Honduras for Lifeguard Mule.
TMG:Oh yes. Thomas for Friendly Fire Isn't ^^;

Liatai:Sure. Let's get EXP out of the way first so I don't forget, though… Everyone gets 100 XP for roleplaying, 100 XP for Saving the Captives, 270 XP for Pumpkin Chunkin', and 100 XP for THE RIVER OF DOOOOM.
Liatai:ELROS! 100 XP - It's The Great Pumpkin! I was saving this award for the first person to mention it. x3
Liatai:THOMAS! 50 XP - Come at me bro — SPLAT. 50 XP - Friendly fire. It ain't so friendly. 50 XP - No bird left behind!
Faerie:« 100+100+270+100 = 100 + 100 + 270 + 100 = 570 »
Liatai:GNOGGLEBOLT! 100 XP - Ledger Keeper.
Dr. Hatari:« 570+150 = 570 + 150 = 720 »
Liatai:BARARUS! 100 XP - Lifeguard Mule. You'll need quite a bit of sunblock for that long nose!
VAE:ahahaha
- VAE imagines baywatch mule
VAE:perhaps david hasselhof riding her.. no, not in *that* way perverts!
TMG:« 100+100+270+100+100 = 100 + 100 + 270 + 100 + 100 = 670 »
Dr. Hatari:I'll be bailing in 15 for work, just as a forewarning.
TMG:« 8750+670 = 8750 + 670 = 9420 »
GM:Right, it's best to wrap up here, then.
VAE:well, we are endin' this
VAE:Um, liatai
Faerie:« 8350+100+570 = 8350 + 100 + 570 = 9020 »
VAE:you didn't add me the common XP for last session
TMG:danman; huh?
TMG:in your token?
VAE:yep, i think
TMG:You're supposed to do that yourself o.O
VAE:err.. i wasn't here?
TMG:that's not Liatai's job

Liatai:Whispering you last session's EXP.

VAE:she has a more-less twin in Mirena from a slovak book series
TMG:I don't get it :B
VAE:one that i have read just today
TMG:ohDr. Hatari:That… what. :B
GM:That doesn't really have anyting to do with what was roleplayed here today, though. ^^;
VAE:Heh, still i find it hillarious.. as well as the bunch of things common with the owl's RP
RAM:Musical reference, maybe?
RAM:"They see me burnin, they hatin"?
GM:That was Meany. :P
