VAE:haha.. now that i got means of chemical defense the large spider living in the doorframe just outside my room is intimidated by me
VAE:yesterday at this time it was brazenly sitting at the edge of the door, at head level of me
VAE:now it keeps itself in the aperture where it has its lair
TMG:oh, ghostwish
TMG:and liatai
Ghostwish:Aye?
Liatai:Yes?
TMG:before we start the game, ghsotwish's token needs to be fixed
Liatai:How so?
TMG:his totken prop values need to be filled in, like the rest of us
TMG:I forgot to remind last session
Ghostwish:Tech likes maptools a little too much.
Liatai:I trust you guys can handle the rest? :3 I will return in a bit with snacks.
TMG:maptool, no "s" >.>
Ghostwish:see?Cogidubnus has connected.
Cogidubnus:Whee!
TMG:and welcome, epic grey wolf
VAE:ahahah… in my lamp there's a pile of dead insects who pwned themselves by touching the bulb
Ghostwish:AUGH, I'm blind!
Liatai:Oh, er. Hm.
TMG:ghost; she just focused the vision elsewhere
TMG:don't worry, I'm already back where we are
Ghostwish:BLINd. BLIND FOREVER. OH THE HUMANITY.
TMG:just zoom out
Cogidubnus:Hey, I see a rock.
Cogidubnus:And a gray area.
Liatai:Yay! That's a start!
Liatai:Just drag a token out into there.
TMG:wait, has cog already made his token?
Ghostwish is disconnected.
Liatai:I don't think so, come to think of it… o.o
TMG:heh, alright
Cogidubnus:Is it something that requires me to open another program?
TMG:since cog's comp seems to have a porblem with running multiple programs at once
Cogidubnus:If so, it will take forever and I'd rather not.
TMG:yeah
TMG:all you have to do cog
Cogidubnus:Yes?
Ghostwish has connected.
TMG:get on google images and find a pic that is closest to your character as possible
TMG:and yes, you may have to shutdown MT for that, but that's okay
TMG:once you've found the image, send Liatai the link
Ghostwish:I suggest searching for 'huge tits'
Cogidubnus:I like the mage icon, actually.
Liatai:Or, we can just use the token you've pulled out there, yeah. :3
Cogidubnus:I'm not just saying that because I'm lazy.
TMG:she'll convert it into a token and you can….
TMG:or that
Cogidubnus:I am fine with my character looking like that.
Cogidubnus:In fact, I shall make it canon.
Liatai:Be back in a few.
VAE:why "huge tits"?
Cogidubnus:Some ask why, some ask, why not?
VAE:firstly. a mage with huge tits would look strange
Cogidubnus:What if it's a female mage?
Cogidubnus:A sorceress, as it were.
Liatai:What, got something against well-endowed mages? >;3
Ghostwish:High charisma.
VAE:secondly, there are searches with more interesting results
Ghostwish:'perky nipples' for example!
VAE:or "big booty" >:3
VAE:nevertheless, a mage with huge tits would have some problems with running from battle as by this time , brassiere wasn't invented yet
VAE:and seeing the make=up of our party, it would be a serious drawback
Liatai:Cloth binding can be surprisingly effective.
Ghostwish:And there are gnomes in this game.
Ghostwish:Gnomes are perverts.
Ghostwish:Hence, lingerie.
Cogidubnus:Every damn one of them.
TMG:…..
Cogidubnus:I was playing WoW once.
VAE:erm… but the gnomes are represented by Tech
Cogidubnus:Minding my own business.
VAE:who is very much the antithesis to anything of that sorts
Ghostwish:So the gnomes have a tech fetish?
Cogidubnus:A gnome runs by on a horse, screams that she loves me, and then runs off into the mist.
Meany has connected.
TMG:ghost; exactly x3 I a playing the wow d20 version of gnomes
Liatai:It's even worse if you want to try playing Alliance for a lark, want to be a druid, and are female.
TMG:got all kinds of tech-related bonuses. You can see my charsheet on the Swap
Liatai:One short jaunt into Stormwind. Got hit on by five gnomes. The horror. The horror. >:
Cogidubnus:We're all level 1, yes?
Liatai:We're all Level 1, yes. ^^
Cogidubnus:Righto.
Cogidubnus:Oh, I have a horse.
Cogidubnus:Do I need a token for that?
Liatai:If you want one. ^^
VAE:bwhaah… liatai, remind me later = there is a comic that you probably will lol at
Meany:»
Meany:
Liatai:It's a Meany!Meany:It is.
TMG:Ah!
Meany:I trust you lot started without me as per standard practice? :U
TMG:Sofox is back online CMF!
Cogidubnus:AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaah
TMG:Quick, smap him with PMs!
Meany:Get the crapling hook!
Cogidubnus:There is a paper thing here now
Liatai:Cog; the screen probably just went black for you. Zoom out and look to the west.
Cogidubnus:Oh hey
Cogidubnus:There I am
Cogidubnus:Chillin'
Liatai:Sent a message!
TMG:and I sent a message, too x3
Cogidubnus:I can't see outside this static circle.
Cogidubnus:odd
VAE:the circle compells you!
Liatai:Aww. Dog just came up and put her head on my lap. X3
Meany::U
TMG:heehee!
- Liatai pets the dog.
Cogidubnus:Ah, I see the problem.
Ghostwish:I am going to have to relocate in about an hour and a half.
Cogidubnus:It's nighttime, and I don't have lowlight or darkvision.
Liatai:Exactly. ^^
VAE:hehe… danman has lowlight, for computer purposes
Liatai:The rest of the party is currently in a cave. Once they emerge, I'll switch it back to daylight.
Cogidubnus:I can cast light, I suppose.
Liatai:Okay.. so are we all here? Roll call!
Cogidubnus:Raise your hand if you're not here!
Meany:…
Meany:D:
Liatai:What's up, Meany?
Meany:Ghostwish: I am going to have to relocate in about an hour and a half.
Ghostwish:MEOW
Liatai:Oh.
Liatai:Danman, Tech, you here?
TMG:I am
TMG:Carefully monitoring Sofox's activity
Ghostwish:It simple means I will be gone for 30 minutes.
Cogidubnus:I remember Sofox at Anthrocon. He was a pretty cool dude.
Ghostwish:less than 30, stop eating my arrows!
Cogidubnus:Stood on a table and yelled "WHO WILL WRESTLE THE SOFOX!?"
Cogidubnus:And then Amber went and wrestled the snot out of him.
VAE:here
Liatai:XD
Cogidubnus:I think everyone is here.
Liatai:One year, when I have enough money, I'm going to make it to Anthrocon. One of these years! *poses with waves crashing in the background*
Liatai:OK, then! Off we go!
Meany:I'd go, but I have nothing to show. :U
- Ghostwish hits Liatai with a lightning bolt. "Whoops."
Cogidubnus:Is that /me?
TMG:cog; yeah
- Cogidubnus does something
- GM turns Ghostwish temporarily into a mouse.
Meany:Yup.
TMG:so, set the stage, GM!
- Meany skrees.
VAE:yep
VAE:At the above
Meany:Mice+owls=Bad things.
Ghostwish:Squeek!
Cogidubnus:Whenever I'm doing the obligatory intro speech, I like to use an old time radio announcer voice.
VAE:and what about lynxes?
VAE:bwhahaha
- VAE toys with Ghostwish
- Cogidubnus casts magic missile at the darkness
Meany:Wow. That almost made me physically ill. :B
VAE:what?
GM:On the last episode! Our players got something of a shock and interrogated goblins. Trofim encountered another caster of "true magic," and we left our players with six trussed goblins.
GM:But what surprises await them when they return to the surface…?
Sszeyl:"I smell doom."
Sszeyl:"Or is that the goblins? Can never tell."
Derish:"Checked under your arms?"
Gnogglebolt:These goblins have to b returned to the surface, but there's one more known goblin who should also be found and dealt with…and Gnogglebolt has an idea for that. "Trofim, put that goblin down. I need to speak to him." Gnogglebolt says, referring to Dosemz.
VAE:that'd be
VAE:I smell…. Doom
Gnogglebolt:"And I need him to be cooperative."
Trofim:You can speak to him as this
Trofim:And he at least will not try something
Gnogglebolt:"No, I cannot. I need him to want to talk to me."
Trofim:remember, he knows true magic
Gnogglebolt:"his hands are bound, and you will be standing behind him."
Gnogglebolt:"I am not very aware of magic, so you tell me-"
Trofim:Good then,
Gnogglebolt:"Can he weave any magic in this state?"
Derish:"He also has a number of sharp implemtents pointed in his direction, I might add."
Cogidubnus:How do I speak IC like that?
Trofim:but it will be your fault if he runs
Trofim:*puts the goblin down*
Ghostwish:Oh, right click your token and select impersonate.
Trofim:Also, speak in common - he understands it
TMG:right click on your token and impersonate
- Irritated Goblin continues to swear until he's put down, and he glares at the group.
Trofim:I want to see what this one has to say myself
Sszeyl:"Was the first thing I considered." Sszeyl inspects his nails.
Ghostwish:I so should have brought Derish in as his wizardly self.
Gnogglebolt:"Now…you understand this tongue. Your name is Dosemz, yes? Do you want me to call you Dosemz?"
Irritated Goblin:"I want you to let me go!"
Trofim:You will first need to meet Zairith and Lethriss
Derish:"That would be unwise. There seems to be a drow and a gnoll in the area. Your safety is with the gnome creature."
Sszeyl:"Oh yes. We drow can't be trusted."
Gnogglebolt:"Unfortunately, that is not an option. You see, we came here with the intention of apprehending the goblin gang of Granch redmaw, and so we are. You fit the description, and so we have apprehended you."
Gnogglebolt:"Though, consider this;"
Gnogglebolt:"If i were not for me, as my erstwile companions for this venture have stated, I am the only reason you are still alive."
Irritated Goblin:*growls* "You think I'm one of them?!" He growls something else in Goblin.
Meany:Attempt to juggle firefox and maptool failed.
Alarian :I don't mean to get in the way, but you said something earlier, GM - should I start talking, or whispering somehow?
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddenly switches tongues for a moment, seeming to reply to Dosemz, before returning to Common.
Liatai:You can start whispering. To send a whisper to me, just type /w Liatai.
Trofim:Well, we found you among them… i don't even need to ask beridze
Gnogglebolt:"Now, Dosemz,"
Gnogglebolt:"Grapmak here tells me that Nintrok works under you. Is this correct?"
Irritated Goblin:The goblin just looks surly and looks away. You might want to roll a Diplomacy or Intimidate check.
Gnogglebolt:Diplomacy Check: « 1d20+7 = 19 + 7 = 26 »
TMG:wooo ^^
Ghostwish:SHA-ZAM
VAE:bwha… a small spider descended upon danman - he threw it away… it was surprisingly less scary than normal encoutners
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebotl just continued to explain the situation to Dosemz in a very calm voice, using mannerisms and unthreatening nonverbal in an attempt to garner the goblin's agreeability.
Irritated Goblin:"… yes. He's my apprentice."
Gnogglebolt:"Now, do you care what happens to Nintrok?"
Irritated Goblin:*scowl* "Seeing as he's the only other smart one here? Yes."
Gnogglebolt:"Then I have a request for you."
Gnogglebolt:"Come with me and one of my allies to the next room. I want -you- to tell him to come with us without a fight, instead of us trying to convince him ourselves. In addtion, if you do this, you gain the same deal I have made each and every other goblin we have captured in this manner;"
Gnogglebolt:"The more you cooperate, the lighter your sentance will be when we return to Castleton."
Trofim:wait… apprentice… is the other one a true magician too?
Derish:"I feel oddly cheated in these deals. I am yet to eat a single goblin."
Irritated Goblin:"It isn't as though you're giving me much of a choice." *grump*
Gnogglebolt:"I also add that we don't need you to apprehend Nintrok, he can take him in the same way we have you and a few other of the goblins. If you accept, you are simply making things easier for everyone. But you don't have to accept."
Trofim:You, wossyername… soes your apprentice know the same magic as you do?
Gnogglebolt:"It is indeed your choise."
Sszeyl:"There is always a choice. You just lack the spine to make one right now."
Irritated Goblin:"… fine."
Gnogglebolt:"Excellent! This will not be forgotten. Drow, will you accompany me and Dosemz?"
Trofim:I will go!
Trofim:this one is important to our cause!
Gnogglebolt:"Orrr you, trofim. I suppose that works."
Trofim:also *scratches head* will someone answer what am asking?
Derish:Derish yawns expressively.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt starts moving towards the room they found Nontrok in. SHall we?"
Gnogglebolt:*found Nintrok in. "Shall we?"
Liatai:The big goblin won't stop laughing.
Gnogglebolt:"Yes, human, if Nintrok is an apprentice of Dosemz, then I can only guess they practice the same art."
Derish:"What's the big one laughing about?"
Trofim:Then that one must appear before Zairith and Letris too!
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt walks into the room, with trofim and Dosemz close behind.
Trofim:*Trofim pushes the goblin in, then closes doors and stands in doorway*
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt waits for Nintrok or Dosemz to say something at the odd parade.
Robed Goblin - Nintrok:Nintrok had been talking to the sick goblin. He looks up in surprise and shock as the group enters.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then looks to Trofim sharply. "Gently, human! How many times do I have to tell you?"
Robed Goblin - Nintrok:The two start jabbering at each other in Goblin.
Trofim:Is still easier than if he had to go himself, with how he's tied
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt settles into watching the two conversing goblins carefully, prepared to interject should it be necessary
Robed Goblin - Nintrok:The smaller robed goblin starts, as if something that was said shocked him.
Irritated Goblin:Dosemz nods and continues to jabber.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt does interject.
Trofim:woss are them talking about so long?
Trofim:*starts to pace again*
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up to Trofim. "Don't worry, Dosemz is explaining the situation. Calm yourself."
Derish:"If I started a petition to make speaking goblin illegal, would you sign it?"
Trofim:woss a petition?
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt interjects yet again, speaking to Nintrok
Meany:I am this close to simply giving up on this computer.
Gnogglebolt:and respodning to Nintrok's sudden comment at Gnogglebolt
TMG:(got any better ones, meany?)
Meany:Nope.
Meany:Still doesn't mean I won't run this thing over with the lawnmower, though.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt seems to go into a long speech
Robed Goblin - Nintrok:Nintrok looks at Dosemz.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddenly latches on to something Nintrok says.
Robed Goblin - Nintrok:Nintrok shrugs.
Sszeyl:"Hmm. Maybe."
Irritated Goblin:Dosemz snaps something to Nintrok.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt responds again.
Sszeyl:"So, how much damage did that skeleton do to you?"
Robed Goblin - Nintrok:Nintrok busies himself with the sick goblin.
Gnogglebolt:*points to the sick goblin*
Robed Goblin - Nintrok:Nintrok mumbles while he attempts to bandage the other goblin's arm.
Derish:"Nicked me fairly well."
Trofim:Don't bother bandaging it
TMG:(brb)
Trofim:it will have to come off
Derish:"Gnolls don't bandage."
TMG:(back
Derish:"Bandages will freeze, and rip the wound wider."
Gnogglebolt:"One moment, Trofim". Gnogglebolt then says something again in the goblin's tongue
TMG:wait, scratch that
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Trofim. "I was going to ask you about that. Is there anything at all you can do for his arm that would avoid that? Even…" Gnogglebolt then seems to struggle over a word, as if he doesn't want to say it, "Mmerrrmmagic?"
Trofim:I can try something
Sszeyl:"If he justed 'nicked' you, why would you need bandages?"
Gnogglebolt:"Indeed? What is it?"
Trofim:but i am unsure whether it will do the thing
Gnogglebolt:"Please tell me what you are going to do, so I can convey i."
Trofim:*moves to the goblin, and takes beridze out of his pouch*
Gnogglebolt:*it
Trofim:Me and beridze will try to help him a pinch with true magic
Trofim:*holds the skull above the goblin*
Gnogglebolt:"Ah…"Gnogglebolt does seem unsure, even though he asked for it. "Just wait one moment."
Derish:"I wouldn't."
Irritated Goblin:Dosemz speaks up.
Trofim:Beridze , speak the words of life!
Gnogglebolt:He speaks to the goblins
Trofim:« 1d20 = 19 » cure light wounds
TMG:er
VAE:that was +0 of course
TMG:Gnogglebolt did say to wait…
TMG:and that's not how cure light wounds works o.O
VAE:Trofim is sort of impulsive
VAE:and yes it isn't
VAE:but it will help him slightly
VAE:it won't cure the thing
VAE:but might make sure he doens't die so soon
TMG:well, I've got nothing to say. GM?
VAE:remember… trofim has no idea of the scope of his spells either
Liatai:You can try. It's 1d8+1.
VAE:he is everything but properly trained priest
Robed Goblin - Nintrok:Nintrok starts.
Trofim:« 1d8+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »
TMG:awww x(
VAE:hehe.. that was a nudge
VAE:though, if they are lvl 1, it wasn't entirely made of fail
Sick Goblin:The sick goblin seems to breathe a little easier, but still looks very sick and tries to shy away from Trofim.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt smacks is forehead, speaking in goblin worriedly
VAE:ow there's a trick
VAE:i also have a bunch of level 0 spells left
VAE:there is cure minor wounds
VAE:which does +1 HP
Trofim:hmm… this will need a little more help
Robed Goblin - Nintrok:Nintrok sighs and continues to bandage what he can on the sick goblin.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt once again speaks sharply to Trofim. "Wait this time, human."
VAE:hmm, two slots left there - it WILL have to wait
Gnogglebolt:"And it seems that your magic, while it did help, did not help significantly…oh well. We can try again when we have the resources of Castleton at our disposal. Do you agree?"
Trofim:I must - what i did will secure he won't die until i rest enough to try again - what we did here exhausted both me and Beridze
TMG:ack!
TMG:Danmna, why didn't you say anything?
Irritated Goblin:Spot check, Trofim and Gnogglebolt?
TMG:Liatai, whitefox would like to sit in
VAE:i did say
Liatai:He did say something, and I said yes.
Liatai:In fact, I'm surprised he's not in here yet…
Trofim:True magic is powerful , but tiring
VAE:he said "screw it' as he has connection problems he can't be bothered to fix though he knows how
VAE:so i pointed him to our wiki
Sharp-Nosed Goblin:Spot checks, all?
Gnogglebolt:Spot Check: « 1d20 = 17 »
Derish:« 1d20 = 11 »
Trofim:« 2d20 = 8 »
Liatai:Gnogglebolt, you notice Dosemz striding as purposefully as he can out the door.
VAE:why did i roll 2d20?
VAE:and end up with 8, nevertheless
Gnogglebolt:Gnoglebolt suddenly moves over to Dosemz. "Hey, hold on theer!"
Gnogglebolt:"We're about to leave. I'll pretend this was just you eager to get a move on."
Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 1 + 5 = 6 »
Irritated Goblin:"No pretending needed," the goblin grumbles.
Trofim:so, let's go
Gnogglebolt:"Okay, I need to go make the stretcher. I can get some planks from the storeroom, are there any blankets or sheets there, too?"
Gnogglebolt:*gnogglebolt asks Dosemz
Meany:Hmm. Macros still work, after looking around for them. Yay.Meany:WhiteFox coming or no?
Dosemz:Dosemz translates Gnogglebolts request for Nintrok, who proceeds to scrounge for blankets.
TMG:whitefox is having trouble
TMG:(brb)
Meany:Should I get the harpoons?
Ghostwish:MAN THE CANNONS.
Cogidubnus:MAN THE HARPOONS
Meany:MAN THE DUCKS.
Liatai:Man the… be right back, guys. ^^'
Ghostwish:QWACK
Cogidubnus:Qvvaaack.
VAE:man the man the man the man….
Cogidubnus:THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST
TMG:back
Meany:Yo.
Cogidubnus:*sips coffee*
Liatai:Blah, family drama. -.- OK, I'm back.
TMG:alright
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks back to the sick goblin and Nintrok, asking a question.
VAE:OOC Holy cow
VAE:the thing he did to the skeleton was turning
VAE:Trofim indeed has one more free lvl1 slot
Sick Goblin:The sick goblin shakily lifts up a corner of the blanket he has been cloaking himself with… The goblin's left foot has been amputated, and the end of the stump is black.
VAE:i won't retcon stuff
Cogidubnus:If you turn and turn well, undead tend to explode.
VAE:i rebuke
VAE:if i turn well, i control them
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt started speaking, then suddenly cut himself off as the sick goblin stood up
Sick Goblin:The sick goblin wraps himself in the blanket again, shuddering.
VAE:trofim will perhaps try again after they are all outside, having rested a bit
Cogidubnus:Up to 4x your cleric level in HD, yup.
Gnogglebolt:…"Okay…let's get to the next room."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt moves around DOsemz and heads out.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt moves to a corner while he waits for the others to get here
TMG:uh…are they moving?
VAE:come!
Trofim:come!
Liatai:… Are you dragging Dosemz? XD
Trofim:you two!
Derish:Derish looks up with interest. "Are we finally leaving?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Derish. "Yes, very soon. But wait one more moment, I must say something first."
VAE:i dragged him… somewhere
VAE:i think on Derish's tile
Gnogglebolt:"Human! Let them walk on their own! For the love of Garl!"
Dosemz:*snarl growl*
Trofim:I wait long enough while you talk to them!
TMG:okay, nintrok and sick gobliin move into this room, right?
TMG:alright, good…
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt clears his throat.
Gnogglebolt:"Now, I need everyone's attention for a moment!" He says the line twice, in common and goblin to make sure everyone gets it
Trofim:* turns head*
Derish:Derish idly smoothes down the fur on his muzzle.
Liatai:The goblins look up.
Ghostwish:going to leave for a short bit in a moment. less than 30 minutes.
Gnogglebolt:"I need to go to the next room-" *repeats in goblin* "to make a stretcher for him" *points to the sick goblin, repets in Goblin*
Meany is disconnected.
Meany is disconnected.
Gnogglebolt:"As I imagine everyone here is getting impatient-" *repeats in goblin*
TMG:aw crud
TMG:waiting for meany to return before continuing
VAE:crap
VAE:There are days when everything goes smoothly.
VAE:today isn't one
Liatai:I hear that. :/
Ghostwish:allright, back in a bit. I think a fighter is fairly easy to auto-pilot.Ghostwish:Run up, smash, repeat until movement stops.
TMG:alrighty, seeya later ghostwish
VAE:see ya
Liatai:All right. I think it's just going to be more negotiation. :3
Ghostwish: Ghostwish:Back in a bit!
Ghostwish is disconnected.
TMG:oh dang, didn't think he was going to disconnect…
VAE:me neither
TMG:I'll make sure he gets the record of what happened while he was gone when he gets back
Liatai:'Kay. ^^
TMG:hrm…where is meany?
VAE:he disappeared
TMG:because this speech Gnogglebolt's trying to make is mostly for derish and sszeyl along with the goblins >.>
TMG:this isn't going to work if -both- Ghostwish and meany are gone
Liatai:So… break time? ^^'
VAE:allright.. since we are sitting here silly , i can briefly explain the logic behind what trofim did
TMG:heck, why not. I could use lunch ^^
VAE:See. cure wounds won't cure a disease
TMG:danman; go ahead, I'll check in and read it
VAE:but it reverses the physical damage it did
TMG:I wasn't thinking you'd use cure light wounds
VAE:so in theory a longwinded way of curing someone
VAE:would be to fix the damage, and then let his immune system do the rest
VAE:@tech… trofim doesn't really have other stuff at this level
VAE:not to mention his specialisation is elsewhere
VAE:but this is pretty much just the kind of logic he'd use - he is insane, not idiot
TMG:eh, it's okay, gnogglebolt doesn't know enough about magic to really know what you did, that wasn't the problem ^^
TMG:….
Liatai:As luck would have it, Trofim's spell did do some good. The goblin was missing some hit points. :3
TMG:so THATS where mu lunch from thursday went!
TMG:*my
Liatai:XD
TMG:I have a drawer in the fridge where I keep all my sammich stuff
TMG:I (try) to make a sandwich in the morning to take with me to school
TMG:thurday morning, I made a sandwich. Got to school, didn't have it in my backpack
VAE:hahah… i guessed it
TMG:I just found it in a bag in the drawer where I put all my sandwich stuff back XD
VAE:(the HP)
TMG:I'm not used to not eating food the moment I make it!! XD
VAE:put it to microwave
VAE:it might still be edible
VAE:and that'll kill germs
VAE:what kind of sandwich was it?
TMG:it -is- still edible. And it's not microwaveble
TMG:it's mayo, meat, lettuce, and cheese
VAE:hmm.. true
VAE:Ahah!
VAE:Drawer in the fridge!
VAE:i thought *a* drawer
TMG:yeaaahh, drawer in the firdge
TMG:apparently
- VAE 's mind works weird sometimes
TMG:when I went to put all my sandwich supplies back, I "put away" the sandwich itself with them xD
VAE:my best find were vintage chewing gums
VAE:5 years old ^^
VAE:still good mind you
TMG:…
TMG:uhhhh
TMG:okay, maybe this isn't edible.
VAE:fungi?
Liatai:Is it green? o.o
VAE:or it smells?
TMG:What does it mean when the mayo has turned from white cream to a…clear yellow film? o.o
VAE:I had such meat on friday
VAE:That's allright!
VAE:it means the brread absorbed the water
VAE:and other components
VAE:and what you see is the fat and egg yolk
TMG:….
TMG:if I get sick, I'm blaming you :[
VAE:i had to cut off green parts from my meat of friday and fry it real well
VAE:i think it worked
VAE:the fact i threw up on the saturday morning totally wasn't because of that &&
VAE:^^' i meant
Liatai:Jeez, Danman, you're like a Labrador retriever. XD
VAE:nope.. really… that was due to a really bad neck ache
TMG:ah!
TMG:meany's back
VAE:that's why i was thanking you for the heat pack idea - it fixed me up
TMG:…oh no…
TMG:he has the same problem as whitefox D:
VAE:see.. the bad part about the neck aches danman has is that they give him headache as secondary effect
TMG:the Akellon server isn't showing up!
Liatai:… hmm.
TMG:ah…
Liatai:Let's try restarting the server, perhaps?
TMG:maybe reboot the server? the chatlog and game progress won't be lost
VAE:save the logs first!!
VAE:*savesavesave*
TMG:it won't be lost, danman x3
VAE:i don't trust this!
TMG:rebotting the server does not reboot danman
TMG:er
VAE:what if it does?
TMG:rwbooting the server does not reboot MapTool >_-
Liatai:OK, someone tell Meany what we're doing while I restart.
You have disconnected.
VAE:i will forget all my engineering skillz
Server started.
VAE has connected.
Cogidubnus has connected.
VAE:it worked!
VAE:i didn't reboot
VAE:or so it seems
VAE:but if at work i'll have no idea how to design the wretched flexure
TMG has connected.
VAE:it'll be all your fault!Liatai:I will accept the blame in that case. XD
Meany has connected.
Liatai:Yay!
TMG:ah!
WhiteFox has connected.
TMG:okay, while waiting for everyone to get back to connecting, I'm going to finish a few bites of sandwich…
Liatai:And a WhiteFox!TMG:heya, whitefox ^^

WhiteFox:Indeed.
TMG:Excellent ^^
Liatai:Huzzah!TMG:Okay then!
Liatai:Glad you could join us, WhiteFox. ^^
TMG:Picking up where I left off…
WhiteFox:Thanks for having me.
TMG:(oh, and ghostwihs had to leave for 30 minutes right after you DC'd, meany)
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt clears his throat.
VAE:also, the heatpack makes for neat toy!
Gnogglebolt:"Now, I need everyone's attention for a moment!" He says the line twice, in common and goblin to make sure everyone gets it
Trofim:*turns his head more*
Big Goblin - Grapmak:The goblins all look up.
Gnogglebolt:"I need to go to the next room-" *repeats in goblin* "to make a stretcher for him" *points to the sick goblin, repeats in Goblin* "So he can be moved safely"
Gnogglebolt:"As I imagine everyone here is getting impatient-" *repeats in goblin* "I suppose it is time for you to begin moving out of this pit and up to the lower level, one by one-" *repeats in goblin* Not outside yet, just up to the lower level. *repeats in goblin*
Gnogglebolt:"I am going to trust" *repeats in Goblin* "That there will be no trouble while I am gone." *repeats in goblin*
Liatai:(Meany is having issues. >Liatai:* ( >: )
TMG:aw, dammit
TMG:I told him to close out the chat window
Liatai:Welcome to the Ballet of Technological Failure, WhiteFox. XD
WhiteFox:I think i've played this game before.TMG:Meany; respond if you can, let us know you are alive D:
WhiteFox:Is it okay if I explore a bit, or will that cause problems for the game?
Liatai:No problems at all! Just try not to go above the fork in the tunnel to the north. They haven't explore there yet. ^^
WhiteFox:Right-o.
TMG:does his token even have a light source?
VAE:Fail Fail Fail FAIL!
Liatai:His token has darkvision.
TMG:ah x3
VAE:fafafafafafafafaiiil!
Meany:RAGE.
TMG:aha!
TMG:He lives!
WhiteFox:Heyo, Meany.
TMG:…do you live? o.o
Liatai:Rage means not dead!Meany:No I don't.
TMG:good enough for me xD
TMG:alright, you can see all of Gnogglebolt's speech up there?
Liatai:WhiteFox; If you want, I can teleport you up to the level of the dungeon these guys are going to next.
TMG:It's not "finished" yet, but you saw all of it?
Meany:I don't live because I have to go through and read all thats been done so I know exactly how badly I screwed up.
TMG:ah, okay, I'll give you a moment to do that ^^
WhiteFox:Liatai: I'm good.
Meany:Wow.
Meany:Next to nothing actually got done. :U
Liatai:Yeah, we've been having technological failures all day. ^^'
TMG:we saw you vanish on the chat
TMG:so we held for a moment to wait for you to get back
Meany:I can't keep Firefox and Maptools online at the same time with the desktop.
TMG:but now that you -are- back, we can continue!
Meany:Eats up too much virtual memory.
TMG:and yeah, you said that alreayd, and I told you to close out the chatLiatai:*ahem*
WhiteFox is disconnected.
Liatai:On with the show? :3
Meany:Well that went to pot.
TMG:Yes!
Meany:Sure.
TMG:continuing…
TMG:"i trust there will ne bo trouble…" ah, here we go
WhiteFox has connected.
Meany:Yo.
WhiteFox:Unexpected quit. Huzzah.
Meany:Why did I just zoom out when I touched nothing to do so?
Ghostwish has connected.
Liatai:Because I just enforced vision so WF wouldn't be in the dark. :3
Liatai:— A ghost!Meany:Yo.
Ghostwish:Well that was 30 minutes on the dot, sorry!Ghostwish:and - omg goblins. O_O
TMG:haha
WhiteFox:And a fox.
TMG:because meany had connection issues
Ghostwish:Derish flails madly at the strange little i!
TMG:you didn't miss anything, ghostwish XD
Ghostwish:Ah, good to hear. ^_^
TMG:ayway, back to the line I am halway through writing…
Gnogglebolt:"Everyone keep in mind why we are trying to do this painlessly." *repeats in goblin* "You remember why we're taking them alive-" *points to his own group, repeats in Goblin* "-and You remember why you are cooperating." *points to goblins, repeats in Goblin*
Liatai:Ghostwish, I'm going to steal a line from you… WhiteFox, audience members are encouraged to ask questions and/or throw popcorn.
Big Goblin - Grapmak:…
WhiteFox:I will when I have them.
Big Goblin - Grapmak:The big goblin barks something at the others.
WhiteFox:(Now to find some popcorn…)
Derish:"Actually, to be frank, I haven't a clue. I have heard something of payment."
Ghostwish:*snrk*
Ghostwish:Yes, I encourage my own audience to harass the players as much as possible.
Gnogglebolt:"Now, I should have the stretcher finished before you are all moved up." *repeats in Goblin* "When I come back, I should not fine -anyone- harmed." *repeats in goblin* "And remember, no unecessary roughness" Gnogglebolt directs the last line to his own group
Gnogglebolt:To the nearest goblin, he says something else.
WhiteFox:Define "necessary."
VAE:and will you fine the healthy ones?
Sszeyl:"Unecessary roughness? Me? I'm insulted."
Gnogglebolt:"May I borrow your torch, trofim?"
Trofim:What roughness? I was just moving them around!
Trofim:you can… allright
Trofim:*gives Gnogglebolt the torch*
Derish:"I could eat them gently?"
Dosemz:*scowls at the gnoll and human*
WhiteFox:Question: is there a system for character inventory?
Gnogglebolt:Okay, gnogglebolt moves into the storeroom with the supplies to begin making the stretcher. Should be a simple, quick job. He cracks his knuckles and gets his tools out.
TMG:ah…kinda
Trofim:You don't eat this one though- Letris and Zairith MUST see him
Ghostwish:Immediately there's screaming goblins.
TMG:no one else has been doing this
Ghostwish: TMG:but in my game, I have been tracking inventory in token notes
VAE:there is
VAE:my possiesions initial, are listed in the char file
Liatai:There is… just pencil and paper. Each player keeps track of his character's inventory, and I also have a back-up list.
TMG:whenever a player in my game picks something up, I add it to there token notes
TMG:*their
WhiteFox:Fair enough.
Ghostwish:Here we go with the maptools fetish again.
TMG:but yeah, no one else does this ^^;
Liatai:Tech is the resident MapTool Whisperer.
TMG:(speaking of whihch, I have to add to gnoggle's inevntory…)
WhiteFox:Ghost: S'why I'm here, ya'know.
Liatai:Craft check, Gnogglebolt?
TMG:okay, now; with wooden planks/rods and sheets/blanktes, what is the appropriate craft check, Liatai?
Liatai:Any that would concievably be relevant. The DC is 5.
TMG:…
Liatai:So it's mainly just for ha-has.
Liatai:But roll with me here.
TMG:Taking ten in any craft without ranks is already +8. I'll do that ^^
TMG:total result, 18
Liatai:You have managed to fashion a simple stretcher!
WhiteFox:Hey, there's always crit-failures.
Ghostwish:HUZZAH!
VAE:bwah.. had to toss out another spider
TMG:now, the ohter players may begin to move the goblins one by one up to the next level
WhiteFox:Crit fail on building a stretcher: it has spikes in bad places!
Ghostwish:Crit-failure: You made a black-hole. What the fuc-
TMG:just let me know when Gnogglebolt is done with his taks (it's not instant ^^)
TMG:in th meantime, I shall poke around the fridge..oh!
Ghostwish:Gnogglebolt sneezes out a stretcher.
TMG:Actually, while Gnogglebolt works, he does keep an ear out.
Trofim:*trofim takes dosemz as one might a sack of wheat*
TMG:okay. Everyone else, continue on ^^
Sszeyl:Sense motive check for the goblin-folk:
Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 8 + 3 = 11 »
Meany:Wow. Failure again.
Meany:What a surprise.
Liatai:They seem to just be following the big goblin.
Ghostwish:Fail? In D&D? never.
Trofim:So, hold tight!
Dosemz:*snarls at Trofim while he's being carried like an angry cat*
Trofim:« 1d20+1 = 16 + 1 = 17 » climb!
Derish:"Um. Shaman?" Derish says as he walks out to the hole.. which he is nearly as tall as it is deep.
Trofim:Trofim climbs up with one hand and legs, carrying the goblin princess-bride style
Sszeyl:"You two stay right where you are."
Sszeyl:To the goblins, of course.
WhiteFox:(Noob) Where did everybody go?
WhiteFox:Including me?
Trofim:Here, more of them
Trofim:Guard this one well
Trofim:He's a true magician like me
Liatai:As you walk out into the sunlight, you notice a new arrival sitting against the large rock near the entrance. Papa is sitting on a squirming goblin.
Trofim:*puts goblin on grass and occupies himself with Papa*
Papa:Woof!
Trofim:Come boy! didn't see ya long!
Trofim:*scratches the dog under chin and behind ears*
TMG:oh no!
TMG:testinf!
Alarian :Alarian stands. "Well met. It seems you've caught yourself quite a few purse-snatchers here."
TMG:Can anyone hear me?
Liatai:Yep!
Trofim:*doesn't notice the newcomer, being occupied with the dog(
VAE:yep
Derish:Derish comes tromping out of the cave with his big, gnollish self.
VAE:hear you
VAE:x
TMG:okay, whew. I just got an alert like my wireless shut down
Terri:"There they are!" Terri waves, holding the stick Trofim had repaired earlier.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt moves back into the prep area, dragging the stretcher behind him.
Meany:Pause.
Gnogglebolt:It's a goblin-sized stretcher, and a simple standard one. Two long pices of wood with handles on both ends with sheets spred between them
Meany:Having technical issues.
TMG:Pausing!
- Liatai hits the pause button.
Derish:Derish glitches, and lags the server into oblivion.
Cogidubnus:laglaglaglalag
Ghostwish:lll-ll-lll-lll-lllaag
Meany:Alright we're good.
Cogidubnus:R-R-R-R-RAAAGEQUIT
Cogidubnus:Ahem. I mean.
TMG:okay ^^
Ghostwish:umadbro
Derish:"Who is this?" Derish asks, tilting his head curiously.
Gnogglebolt:"Alright, I have the stretcher. We just need to get these two up to the top level first."
Trofim:who is who?
Sszeyl:"Move. Now."
Trofim:*looks around, then notices a new figure*
Derish:Derish points a claw at Alarian.
Alarian :"My name is Alarian. I was on my way to Castleton when I saw this young lady here and a pile of goblins. I was naturally curious."
Sick Goblin:The sick goblin hobbles along as best he can.
Gnogglebolt:"As you can see, he is already missing some of his leg, help hoist him up."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then bows slightly. "if you please, that is."
Trofim:You… are you a lie-mage or their servant?!
Alarian :"I would feel remiss leaving you all here without offering what assistance I could."
TMG:warp us, GM! ^^
Sszeyl:Climb check:
Sszeyl:« 1d20+4 = 3 + 4 = 7 »
Liatai:… ooh. ^^'
TMG:you can take 10, you know ^^;
Liatai:Reflex save?
TMG:not on a save >.>
TMG:but on a check
Alarian :Alarian pauses, and tilts his head somewhat at the question. "I…no, I do not believe so. I am but a fool, who takes pride in his foolish talents."
Liatai:I know. But with a roll like that, I'm calling for a Reflex save.
Trofim:What do you mean?
Trofim:*scratches head*
Sszeyl:Sszeyl tries to climb up, unfortunately his bad arm gives out. "Oh, gravity works. "
Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 17 + 3 = 20 »
Liatai:You don't drop the goblin!
TMG:was talking to meany. tryng to remind him that he doesn't need random rolls for mundane tasks out of combat ^;
Meany:I know.
Meany:I choose to make this random rolls. :U
Meany:For spice.
Alarian :Alarian looks around. "Well. I can eat soup pretty well. I can both walk, and chew gum simultaneously." he pats the bow hanging loosely at his side. "I can propel sharp sticks with this cunning object here."
TMG:oh fine xD
Trofim:chew what?
Sszeyl:"Shall we try this again?"
Trofim:*takes out Beridze*
Alarian :"Candy."
Derish:"Silly man."
Sszeyl:Climb check again:
Trofim:Ah….
Sszeyl:« 1d20+4 = 5 + 4 = 9 »
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt is greatly startled when Sszeyl -almost- drops the goblin, but catches him at the last moment, letting out a breath. "Do be careful…"
Terri:Terri giggles.
Derish:Derish cocks and ear, and then meanders back into the cave.
Sszeyl:"Oh *undercommon swear word*
Trofim:*whispers to the skull* You will have to help me here - this one is confusing
Derish:Derish walks up to the hole, and looks in. "Trouble?"
Sszeyl:"My damaged arm is giving me trouble climging with this goblin."
Alarian :"Aha! I do remember what else I am good for. Once, I managed to walk across an entire plain without seeing a soul, and did not go mad."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up, relieved. "Yes, apparently. Take this goblins arms and hoist him up, please."
Derish:Derish blinks, kneels down, reaches in, grabs said goblin, and hoists him out of the hole.
Papa:The dog tilts its head curiously.
Sszeyl:Sszeyl hold the goblin up all Lion King style.
Derish:"Anymore?"
Trofim:entire what?
TMG:okay, that's one goblin…
Trofim:Beridze, help me out!
Alarian :"Have you ever been to the Southern Plains?"
Gnogglebolt:"One more, but I think he can get up himself."
Trofim:i believe not
Sszeyl:"Never underestimate the power of failure."
Alarian :Alarian looks around. "Er…who is Beridze, if I might ask?"
Liatai:« 1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20 »
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances at Nintrok.
Derish:Derish doesn't give the goblin a chance. It's like pulling goblins out of a barrel.
Trofim:beridze is my friend here *holds the skull higher*
Derish:"You two?" Derish asks.
Sszeyl:"I trust you don't need a boost?"
- Alarian headtilts
Sszeyl:To Gnogglebolt.
Gnogglebolt:And Gnogglebolt himself climes as well, taking ten (and wondering how in the world the goblins used this on a regular basis, they must have a better way…) « 1d20-1 = 17 - 1 = 16 »
TMG:er whups
Sszeyl: (( Man, my rythm is fucked up today. ))
TMG:good thing I rolled instead of taking 10
TMG:I have a -1 str mod XD
Cogidubnus:Rolling sense motive on the crazy guy.
Ghostwish:You sense crazy!
Trofim:he helps me with spells… and he too was fighting the lie-mages
Sszeyl:« 1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16 »
Derish:Derish promptly escorts the goblins out.
Alarian :« 1d20 + 3 = 9 + 3 = 12 »
Sszeyl:Sszeyl pulls himself out, with a bit more trouble from his bum arm.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt begins walking out of the cave with the last two goblins and the group members."
Trofim:the truth will find its way
Gnogglebolt:He looks oddly as he sees Papa on top of a squirming goblin…then takes note of the new face.
Gnogglebolt:What a mystery.
Alarian :"I've never heard of a lie-mage. Do they cast spells with lies, or lie about their spells?"
Trofim:no matter what they try - true magic can be done by everyone, that is our proof
Sszeyl:Sszeyl lingers just long enough to put his stylish glasses back on first.
Trofim:They lie about their spells, about magic
Papa:*wags his tail. Hee, look, I caught one, aren't you proud of me X3*
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt walks up to him, noting that the poor man was already conversing with trofim. Oh dear. "Hail, good sir!"
Trofim:that magic is only for few with "talent"
Alarian :Alarian looks back and forth breifly, and then down. "Ah! Hail, and well met."
Trofim:they didn't take me for studies, and threw me in prison when i proved them wrong
Sszeyl:"Now that we've got this nice collection of goblins. Who's up for adding that bear to our group?
Sszeyl:+"
Trofim:but now i am not alone - with Letris and Zairith we shall expose their lies
Terri:*plays tug-of-war with Papa and the stick*
Alarian :Walking forward, Alarian pats trofim on the back and stands closer to the rest of the party. "Well, you seem a nice enough sort to me. I hope Prison wasn't too hard on you."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks surprised up at Trofim, then back to the new man. "Ah…he's already telling you his…most unusual story, I see. I, however, and Gnogglebolt Sparkgear, what is your name, good sir?"
Trofim:i managed
Trofim:*trofim notices the game and goes there to "aid"*
Alarian :"My name is Alarian Marlowe, Mr. Sparkgear. I man of few and foolish talents."
Sszeyl:Sszeyl walks over to Terri and Papa. "Did the goblins give you much trouble?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt also seems wary as the man inserts himself into the center of the congregation.
Alarian :*a man
Terri:"Mm-mm! One tried to run away, but Papa caught him." She points at the loud goblin squirming under the mass of fluffy white dog.
Sszeyl:Sense motive check on the new human.
Trofim:good papa!
Alarian :"I found this young lady here alone with a dog and a pile of goblins. I was naturally curious, and felt compelled to offer aid."
Gnogglebolt:"i…see." Gnogglebolt then hears the question Sszeyl is asking Terri, and smacks his head. Stupid! That should have been the FIRST thing he did! He walks over, too."
Trofim:*Trofim takes out the giant rat meat out of the other pouch and feeds Papa*
Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 6 + 3 = 9 »
Meany:»
Cogidubnus:What are you trying to sense? :3
Trofim:here! Have some tasty rat, friend!
Gnogglebolt:"Oh dear oh dear…" Gnogglebolt then says words in Goblin yet again
Meany:Motives, of course.
Papa:*nom nom nom :9 *
Cogidubnus:Ah! In that case, I will not roll bluff.
Derish:Derish doesn't bother with simple sense motive. He starts checking his wounds instead.
Loud Goblin:The loud goblin keeps yelling, but it is muffled by the dog tail that keeps whapping him in the face as Papa eats.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then notes it's the "loud goblin".
Sszeyl:"I'm sorry for the trouble. Clearly I did not hit him nearly hard enough."
VAE:aahaha (the tail)
Gnogglebolt:"Oh dear… terri, can you please have Papa move off of him? I must speak to him.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to droopy-eared goblin, asking something.
Trofim:Papa, come! *drags the pouch*
Papa:*follows — oh boy, am I getting another treat? :9 *
Droopy-Eared Goblin:The droopy-eared goblin sighs.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then turns back to loud goblin, saying quick things. It's cler he's trying to salvage something.
Trofim:*Trofim indeed takes out more rat meat chunks*
Loud Goblin:The loud goblin looks dazed.
Sszeyl:Sszeyl pulls out one of his sai and picks some dirt out from under his fingernails with it. "Making progress?"
- Alarian pets the dog
Papa:*oh hey I remember you, you're nice. Wag wag wag*
Alarian :"The girl told me you were dealing with pickpockets. Is that all of them?
Trofim:Should be!
Alarian :"My word."
Trofim:*trofim is more relaxed seeing that the dog likes the newcomer*
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looked to the man. "As far as we know."
Terri:"Did you find Mr. Redmaw?" Terri asks curiously.
Alarian :"How do you plan on getting this many goblins to Castleton without losing them?"
Trofim:Tying them in a line i guess
WhiteFox:Question: whose speaking for Papa, Player or GM?
Derish:"Ah, yes, we found the late Redmaw."
VAE:Liatai
Liatai:GM. ^^
Sszeyl:"I again submit my plan to recruit the bear."
Liatai:Papa and Terri are both NPCs.
Alarian :"….a bear?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt grins to the man. "Because, with the apparent exception of this one goblin here, they listen to me. And, as you can see, all their hands are tied up.
WhiteFox:Ah.
Trofim:What bear? Where?
Sszeyl:"Across the way, over in that first cave."
Meany:I seem to recall either Elros or Gnoggle mention about bears. »
Meany:Could someone with access to the logs check?
Trofim:ha! my father had a bear skin! They trapped it in a hole after it killed our cow
TMG:Elros, when we were looking at the first cave. He said he found bear tracks.
TMG:or maybe Tadrim…
Trofim:it had more meat than the cow too… i haven't eaten like that since…
Liatai:(Speaking of Elros, if your characters decide to do so, I can roll wild empathy checks for either of the brothers. It's an option.)
Alarian :"I have heard bear tastes terrible, though."
Trofim:Tastes better than buckwheat meal
Terri:"How does bear taste, Papa?" The girl pets the dog.
Derish:"You have to cook it right. The blubber is quite tasty."
Alarian :"Perhaps this is so. If you spice it enough, most anything can taste good. And hunger is always the best sauce."
Sszeyl:"How the beast tastes is irrelevant. We cah use it to keep the goblins in check. What with them being much stronger and faster, as well as in regards to our loud friend here," points at the loud goblin with his sai, "Smarter too."
Papa:*woof!*
Trofim:Not only tasty! The old man in the corner made a healing rub out of bear fat
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt speaks to the goblin that Papa was on again.
Trofim:when my uncle hit his leg with his axe, he put it on so that the wound didn't rot
Loud Goblin:The goblin whines and nods.
Derish:"You seem to assume you can control the beast? How is that so?"
Sszeyl:"I don't assume. But we won't know if we don't try."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt clears his throat again. "Alright Time to organize!
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt says something to the group of goblins
Grapmak:The big goblin barks something, and the goblins oblige.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then goes over to the sick goblin, and indicates that he is excepted
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt asks the same thing of the frist group of goblins
Gnogglebolt:He then looks to Trofim; "Can you see if you can get that one woken up?" He says, pointing to the astill-unconcious one
Meany:It seems Sszeyl's pimp hand was strong.
Trofim:*Trofim comes over the unconscious goblin*
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then turns to the lineup of goblins, and starts talking to them in a clear voice.
Trofim:*he helds Beridze above him*
Trofim:Beridze! Let's make a rain!
Trofim:« 1d20 = 17 » conjure water
Liatai:XD
VAE:erm, create water
Liatai:Well, the goblin is now groggily awake!
Trofim:Come! let's go!
Colorfully-Garbed Goblin:The garishly-dressed goblin shrieks and starts jabbering.
Derish:Derish wences. "Do make them stop shrieking."
Trofim:Shut up!
Sszeyl:Sszeyl walks over to the goblin and raises pimp hand.
Colorfully-Garbed Goblin:The goblin cowers and waves its hands in an "I surrender!" pose.
TMG:Gnogglebolt takes note of the waking-up goblin,an rushes over as fast as his gnome legs can go
Sszeyl:"So good to have you listen to reason."
Gnogglebolt:He shouts in goblin, as usual.
Sszeyl:Sszeyl walks back over to Terri and Papa.
Trofim:What? you told me to wake him up, so i did!
TMG:aw dammit >_-
Trofim:*so does trofim, spitting to the grass on the way*
TMG:pretend you didn't hear that
VAE:hear what?
TMG:good man ^^
TMG:wait…okay, seriously, did anyone see that?
VAE:seriously, you didn't missend it
TMG:oh, neermind then
VAE:it was comedic reaction on Trofim's part
Dosemz:Dosemz snarls.
Sszeyl:Sszeyl whistles idly.
Gnogglebolt:Gnoglebolt talks carefully to the goblin, as if trying hard to keep him calm
Sszeyl:"So, bear or no bear?"
Terri:"Late Mr. Redmaw?" Terri looks up at the gnoll. "Was he on a schedule?"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt also looks over his shoulder. "I heard that about taming a bear. If any of you are crazy enough to think you can do so in five minutes alone, be my guest."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt returns to talking to the goblin.
Alarian :"Five minutes? Are you all late for something?"
Trofim:Don't ask me
Terri:"I'unno."
Trofim:I am only needing to meet Zairith and Letris
Meany:Hmm.
Alarian :"Who?"
Trofim:and there is plenty of time for that yet
Meany:Could Sszeyl drag one or both the elves with him? :V
Derish:"Why do we need the bear again? Are good supplies short?"
Liatai:He could.
Trofim:Zairith and Letris, my friends and help
Colorfully-Garbed Goblin:The goblin glances around.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddenly freezes.
Trofim:well, supplies are always short
Grapmak:"Reelo, you idiot!" the big goblin growls.
Sszeyl:"Because the goblins outnumber us, and if they weren't so cowardly they could probably kills us now that they're all in one place.
Sszeyl:+"
Grapmak:… er, in Goblin. ^^'
Alarian :"I was wondering about that." Alarian says dryly.
Alarian :"I assume you had a plan of some sort."
Alarian :*assumed
Trofim:I have a plan on my shoulder *points to the heavy flail
Sszeyl:"My plan was the bear."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances back to the group. "They -are- all tied up right now."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks back to something the goblin said, and sighs.
Derish:"I eat goblins. Does that not suffice?"
Sszeyl:"You just jinxed it."
Liatai:…
Liatai:« 1d20+5 = 12 + 5 = 17 »
Liatai:Carry on. ^^
Alarian :D:
Liatai:Nothing to see here. ^^
Meany:Anyway, elf dragging or no. :U
Liatai:Yes, elves can be dragged. XD
Trofim:Also, Papa here could tear their necks i think *pets the dog again* You are a strong one, afraid of no damn goblin, you!
Papa:*yay, I'm getting lots of pettings today!*
Grapmak:The big goblin growls something to Gnogglebolt.
Sszeyl:Sszeyl slinks over to the elves. "Either of you up for bear catching? Good let's go." All in Elven. And off they go!
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances over to Grapmak as he speaks.
Liatai:Want me to send the elves in first, or…?
Sszeyl:Spot check for bears lingering in the entrance.
Trofim:*Trofim tosses the stick to the dog again*
Trofim:Come! bring back!
Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 5 + 5 = 10 »
TMG:ummm O.O
TMG:sszeyl took -both- of the half-elves?
Cogidubnus:Yup.
Cogidubnus:The bearrorist threat required it.
Meany:It's an elf only thing.
Liatai:You see no bears!
TMG:eh, alright…
Sszeyl:"Alright, looks clear let's go."
Cogidubnus:Apparently, in addition to being the first race to invent being a pansy and dancing under the moon, elves wrestle bears.
VAE:ahhaah
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt once again speaks to the group of goblins.
Cogidubnus:BTW, this is a bad situation, gentlemen.
Sszeyl:Listen check.
Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 18 + 5 = 23 »
Cogidubnus:There are a -lot- of goblins.
Cogidubnus:And not a whole lot of us.
Liatai:You hear snoring.
Sszeyl:Sszeyl moves in, all silent like.
Sszeyl:Move silently check.
Sszeyl:« 1d20 = 14 »
Liatai:Nintrok steps away and stands by the sick goblin. Another goblin, the one from the hidden cave, raises a hand.
Liatai:« 1d20+2 = 2 + 2 = 4 »
Gnogglebolt:"Okay, good. Derish, can you move please?":
Liatai:The bear remains sleeping. The den smells like bear scat and rotting fish.
Derish:"Move where?"
Sszeyl:Sszeyl silently mimes voimiting to the elves, and gestures to come in slowly.
WhiteFox:I thought bears scat in the woods…VAE:this one didn't care about hygiene it seems
Gnogglebolt:*north or south* "Would be good, derish. Just other than where you are now.
Gnogglebolt:To the goblins again,
Sszeyl:"Now how to gently wake it up without angering it. If those aren't mutually exclusive."
Cogidubnus:Smack it on the nose.
Cogidubnus:Dooo eeet!
Liatai:« 1d20+1 = 11 + 1 = 12 »
Liatai:« 1d20+2 = 4 + 2 = 6 »
WhiteFox:Bring it breakfast in bed.
VAE:they are just doing so
Black Bear:*snuffles and snores*
VAE:breakfast with feet
Sszeyl:"In the abscence of a safe way to do this, we'll go the unsafe way."
Liatai:One moment…
Liatai:Tadrim mentions that there are ways to talk to animals.
TMG is disconnected.
TMG is disconnected.
Liatai:((AKA, he can cast Speak with Animals. :3))
Sszeyl:"I leave this to your expertise, then."
Cogidubnus:What would a bear have to say, though?
Cogidubnus:"Rawr I am a bear"
VAE:Rawr i am hungry
Liatai:Tadrim asks what, specifically, you want him to say to the bear.
VAE:go wash yourself before i eat you, smelly droe
VAE:*drow
Meany:Salmonsalmonsalmonsalmonsalmonsalmon, bear cubs bear cubs, salmonsalmonsalmonsalmon.
VAE:hahaha.. .that could make lyrics for a parry grip song
Liatai:Or alternate lyrics for that "Badgerbadgerbadger" song.
VAE:yep, that too
Cogidubnus:"Mushroom mushroom"
VAE:though i don't like that one too much
Sszeyl:"Hmm. "
Liatai:« 1d20+5 = 9 + 5 = 14 »
VAE:Taking the hobbits to isengard was awesome though
Liatai:« 1d20+5 = 2 + 5 = 7 »
Liatai:Carry on. :3
Sszeyl:"Offer a deal, first off. See if the bear won't go ragekill on us."
Derish:"What're we waiting on again?"
VAE:They're taking the hobbits to isengard!
VAE:They're taking the hobits to isegard!
Alarian :I suspect we're waiting for your two friends to get back from wrestling bears."
VAE:A balrog of morgoth! What did you say?
Alarian :"Three friends, sorry."
Liatai:Tadrim and Elros both kneel down, looking at the bear intently. Tadrim starts to growl and gesture slowly.
Black Bear:*wakes and snuffs*
Black Bear:« 1d20+5 = 2 + 5 = 7 »
Black Bear:It rolls over and attempts to go back to sleep.
VAE:Tadrim unfortunately makes a Yo mamma's fat joke…
Cogidubnus:The black bear will now kill you seven times.
Liatai:Tadrim keeps speaking to it… « 1d20+5 = 15 + 5 = 20 »
Cogidubnus:Snap.
Black Bear:The bear blinks, yawns, and stands.
Sszeyl:Sszeyl thinks, "Oh this can't be good."
Black Bear:It looks blearily around at all of you.
Liatai:Tadrim says that no, no, it's okay. The bear has, tersely, agreed.
Sszeyl:"My knowledge of bears is slim. What could we offer it to agree to helping us with the goblins?"
Cogidubnus:Salmon.
Liatai:"Food."
VAE:the sick one!
Liatai:Bwahaha XD
- VAE is an evil overlord.. what did you expect?
Sszeyl:"Right then. Finagle away."
Liatai:One second, guys. Tech is having technical difficulties.
Meany:Gah, that wasn't a real IC answer was it. xD
Liatai:I'm going to have to reboot the server again… >:
Alarian :'kay
Meany:>:
VAE:'llright
Liatai:OK, killing server in 3… 2… 1…
You have disconnected.
Server started.
Ghostwish has connected.
Ghostwish:Why'd we reboot?
Meany has connected.
VAE has connected.
TMG has connected.
Liatai:Tech was having the same problem as Meany and Whitefox… he couldn't reconnect to the server.
WhiteFox has connected.
TMG:and no one seemed to bother to check the chat -_-
TMG:Cogidubnus: Smack it on the nose.
Liatai:Sorry! Tense bear negotiations. ^^'
TMG:that was the last thing I saw
VAE:i checked it.. just didn't notive
Liatai:And I thought you were back in already, I'm sorry. ;.;
TMG:can someone repost evwerything that's happend sicne then?
TMG:(in other news, I missed sofox online in an active chat elsewhere by six minutes >_- )
Liatai:Sent in a PM.
Meany:Hmm.
Liatai:Tadrim asks what the group has to offer the bear.
TMG:okay, thanks
TMG:now, returning to what I was doing before I lost connection…
Meany:Gah, technical difficulties again.
Meany:Pause.
TMG:pointer for liatai's benefit—
TMG:ah, dang
WhiteFox:I am seeing a whole lotta black.
TMG:whitefox; zoom out
WhiteFox:Oh, wait. Nvm I'm good.
TMG:mousewheele or—
TMG:h, okay
Meany:Mkay, difficulties fixed.
Meany::U
Meany:Freaking zoom is so touchy today.
TMG:alrighty ^^
Cogidubnus has connected.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt approahces the goblins again.
Sszeyl:"I don't suppose not stabbing him in the face would be a valid first offer."
Sszeyl:"Right. Offer as much food as he can eat, of his choice."
Cogidubnus:Ahehehehehe.
Sszeyl:"Payment on delivery."
Cogidubnus:And if he choses you?
Papa:*tilts head when Gnogglebolt points at him*
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt goes through each goblin in the line one by one, redoing the rope holding their hands behind their backs in lieu of Sszeyl or Elros, and in addition to simply making sure each one has their hands tied behind their backs, also runs the rope to each of the next ones in line."
Liatai:Tadrim continues to talk to the bear. « 1d20+5 = 12 + 5 = 17 »
Meany:Then he's getting knifed so very hard.
Liatai:Tadrim: "Fish?"
Cogidubnus:Feesh?
Sszeyl:"Sure."
Black Bear:The bear looks about as enthusiastic as a sleepy bear can.
Sszeyl:Sszeyl mutters, probably going to cost me my cut of the treasure too."
Cogidubnus:Mercenary Bear is Mercenary.
Gnogglebolt:(earlier, when he was talking to the goblins before redoing their restraints, Gnogglebolt was talking to them for a moment, then pointed to Papa, Derish, and Trofim while still talking)
Sszeyl:+" And capitalize where appropriate.
Liatai:The bear has agreed.
Sszeyl:"Alright, lets go."
Black Bear:*oh boy fish fish fish fish fish…*
TMG:(…aren't bears large-sized? >.> )
Cogidubnus:Depends on the bear.
TMG:Hmm. Is this one, then?
Papa:*Papa's ears suddenly snap up, and he growls.*
TMG:or is he a smallish bear?
Cogidubnus:Does it matter?
TMG:because if he's large-sized
Liatai:It's a Medium-sized bear.
TMG:the token can be changed to reflect that—ah, okay then. nevermind.
Black Bear:*fish?*
Papa:*growl*
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up at Papa's growling, then sees what he's growling at. "Well, by Garl…I don't believe it."
Black Bear:*hey, chill, man, I just want my fish*
Alarian :"Well, are we ready then?"
Trofim:*looks at where the dog points*
Terri:"Bear!"
Trofim:>bleep! They got a >bleep> bear with them
Derish:".. why are all the animals of this world so small?"
- Alarian goes to unhitch his horse and get ready to set off
VAE:also, the bug spray owns flies real well
Black Bear:*hey now I'm perfectly normal-sized for a black bear. No need to be mean.*
Gnogglebolt:As the rest appraoch, Gnogglebolt speaks up to everyone. "There is one thing we must talk about before we depart!"
Papa:*watching the bear intently, neck fur on end*
Sszeyl:God damn this lag.
Cogidubnus:laglaglaglaglaglag
Gnogglebolt:"The goblins have informed me that we are, in fact, missing one of their number, a fellow by the name of 'Drit'. As they explain, he is their scout, and currently was not in the hideout."
Trofim:Come here Papa! I
Derish:"Where I come from, bears are usually.." Derish says, and holds his arm up at full length, indicating a very lofty height. ".. this big."
Sszeyl:And more lag.
Papa:*grrrowlrrrrrrr*
TMG:can you at least see what is being said, Meany?
Trofim:Come! *pats his leg*
Black Bear:*well way to give me an inferiority complex there manAll I wanted was fish*
Papa:*grrrrrowlgrrr*
Sszeyl:"Stop mocking the bear."
Trofim:Trofim comes to Papa
Sszeyl:"Stop growling at the bear."
Trofim:Shut up, sszel@
Sszeyl:"And you, quit looking so downtrodden."
TMG:hold on a sec, everyone
Sszeyl:To the bear.
TMG:meany, how is it holding up? Can you see everything being said?
Black Bear:*can I just get my fish and go home?*
VAE:the bear seems to be an omega-male
Meany:Yup.
VAE:psi at most
TMG:okay then
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt moves forward to the group, and gestures everyone to huddle around
Sszeyl:"Elf who's name I forget. The bear is saying something."
Liatai:Danman; … that's if bears had a wolflike social structure. >.>
VAE:i know
VAE:just joking
Liatai:Ah.
Sszeyl:Sszeyl heads over to the group, and beckons the bear to follow.
Trofim:CAREFUL!
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt speaks in a quiet voice. "Now, everyone…the goblins informed me that one of their number is missing, a fellow by the name of "drit'. He is apparently their scout."
Papa:*stands between the bear and the group, watching*
Trofim:*Trofim takes hold of papa gently - he doesn't want a fight between a bear and dog*
Gnogglebolt:"So we need to decide; shall we -all- escort this group to castleton, or shall one person stay behind?"
Liatai:Spot checks?
Alarian :"Lucky fellow."
Sszeyl:"Terri, could you tell Papa the bear is safe?"
Derish:"Escort."
Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 7 + 5 = 12 »
Gnogglebolt:Spot Check (oh crap) « 1d20 = 1 »
TMG:oooh dammit.
TMG:Make it a good one, derish and Trofim o.o
TMG:and can elros and tadrim get a roll, roo? >.>
Alarian :"If the Goblin has a lick of sense, he'll see someone outside the lair and won't show himself."
VAE:Gnogglebolt looks high into the sky, spotting the sun!
VAE:He is blinfed for a moment
Trofim:« 1d20 = 5 »
Terri:"He's just worried… Papa worries about things." Terri, on the other hand, doesn't look at all worried.
TMG:uh, danmna…
TMG:you DO have a wisdom bonus
TMG:although fat lot of good it's going to help now >.
VAE:i don't
Cogidubnus:I'm guessing I don't get to roll spot?VAE:madness takes it away
Liatai:You do, Cog. ^^
TMG:oh course you do, cog o.o
Cogidubnus:Yey!
VAE:but once a day i can roll (so far) +2
TMG:derish still needs to roll, too
VAE:like when fixing up the goblin
Alarian :« 1d20 -1 = 16 - 1 = 15 »
Liatai:« 1d20+5 = 9 + 5 = 14 »
TMG:and maybe elros/tadrim, papa/terri get rolls, too? >.>
VAE:madness decreases your wisdom by one for rolls, but grants you insight every so often
Liatai:No need. Alarian's seen it.
Cogidubnus:Hey, what's that goblin doing.
Cogidubnus:Stop that, Goblin.
VAE:impersonate
Gnogglebolt:"What?!" Gnogglebolt whips around
Gnogglebolt:"DOSEMZ!"
Gnogglebolt:roll intiative?
Liatai:Indeed. :3
Trofim:Trofim hears the shouting
Liatai:You notice that the rope you had on him is gone…
Alarian :« 1d20 +2 = 13 + 2 = 15 »
Sszeyl:« 1d20+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 »
Trofim:I told you!
Gnogglebolt:initative: « 1d20+1 = 14 + 1 = 15 »
Trofim:« 1d20-1 = 16 - 1 = 15 »
Cogidubnus:xD
Gnogglebolt:"I ASKED you if he could do that!"
Cogidubnus:15!
VAE:luckily there is one more spell
Liatai:« 1d20 = 2 »
Liatai:… ooh. XD
Gnogglebolt:"Everyone else stay put!"
Liatai:Everyone gets to go before Dosemz! XD
TMG:bringing up intiative tracker…
VAE:ahahah
VAE:another command i guess
Cogidubnus:Does anyone have the PHB open?
Cogidubnus:I forgot the range on Sleep.
VAE:i can check
Liatai:One sec.
Liatai:Medium. 110 feet at your level. ^^
VAE:yep
Cogidubnus:Excellent!
Liatai:Bweeheehee. >:3
Liatai:Alarian spotted him, so Alarian goes first!
TMG:okay, so three of us got 15
TMG:in the case of tie, it goes to DEX scores
VAE:dm decides
TMG:my Dex score is 12
TMG:or that >.>
VAE:i go last
VAE:i have 8
Cogidubnus:My dex is 14, so I'd go first anyhow.
Cogidubnus:Well then.
TMG:alrighty. Continue!
Ghostwish:ack, sorry, got called off. What I miss?
Alarian :Horse's Move action = approach cave
VAE:pronlems
Liatai:A goblin's making a break for it. :3
Alarian :My Move action = Dismount
Alarian :Standard Action = Sleep
Dosemz:*sings "I want to break free"*
Liatai:… Who was that? XD
VAE:me
VAE:i have control from when i was carrying him
Ghostwish:« 1d20+5 = 18 + 5 = 23 »
Ghostwish:intitative? XD
Liatai:What's the DC on the Will save from that, Alarian — ooh. XD
TMG:where the heck have you been, ghostwish? and far too late for that now
Ghostwish:I just said. I got called away.TMG:oh, whups >.>
- Alarian Alarian mutters something under his breath, exhaling slowly, gesturing with his right hand.
Liatai:« 1d20+4 = 19 + 4 = 23 »
Cogidubnus:whups said my name twice. xD
Cogidubnus:Also, my DC is not 24.
VAE:*Trofim notices*
TMG:okay, ah, Liatai; are you going to add everyone to the init tracker?
Cogidubnus:More like 14.
Trofim:*Trofim notices*
Cogidubnus:Does Trofim have spellcraft?
VAE:yep 4 levels
Cogidubnus:He could roll to see if I was casting something. :3
Trofim:« 1d20+4 = 14 + 4 = 18 »
Alarian has received initiative.
Trofim:on spellcraft of course
Trofim:*thinks* A lie-mage!
Liatai:Not only can you tell he was casting a spell, you can identify it as Sleep!
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Trofim:*thinks more* … but why is he helping us then?
Gnogglebolt:"Trofim, come! Everyone else, stay!" Gnogglebolt shouts. He dislikes giving orders like that, but given the circumstances…he was about to do something else he didn't like. He rather distasted physical combat, but hey, a gnome's gotta do what a gnome's gotta do.
Trofim:*thinks even more* Ah-ha! he wants to insinuate himself in our circle!
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt charges full speed, attempting to tackle the goblin
Liatai:Hoo, boy. Grapple checks. :/
TMG:grapple check with bonus for charging?
Liatai:Yep. XD
Cogidubnus:You get a bonus on the touch attack, but not on the grapple check, I don't think.
Cogidubnus:What's your Strength, Tech?
Liatai:If I'm not mistaken, initiating a grapple provokes an AoO, too.
Cogidubnus:It does, in fact.
VAE:yep
VAE:tends to
Cogidubnus:-2 to AC for charging.
VAE:should have waited
Liatai:« 1d20+1 = 10 + 1 = 11 »
VAE:trofim'd do the routine again
Liatai:Dosemz attempts to lash out at you with a fist as you charge, but he misses! Touch attack!
TMG:alright, there's a +2 bonus if you bullrush as part of a charge, and a +2 bonus to attacking as part of a chage
TMG:but grappling isn't mentioend. Does it get the +2 bonus as well?
Cogidubnus:No.
TMG:(I have -so- got to write custom tackle rules..)
TMG:I was asking the GM, cog
Cogidubnus:RAW, no.
Liatai:Since you're just attempting to tackle him, I'd say yes.
Liatai:Just on the attack roll, though. Grapple check remains the same.
TMG:of course
Gnogglebolt:Grapple Initiate: « 1d20+1 = 8 + 1 = 9 »
TMG:dangit
Cogidubnus:Well, I doubt he's got an AC of less than 10.
Liatai:Yeah, no dice.
Dosemz:The goblin slips away from you!
Trofim has received initiative.
VAE:what's me speed? 20 or 30?
Liatai:20.
VAE:doesn't really matter
TMG:you can move up to double your speed, like I did
Trofim:*trofim moves closer*
Trofim:*Trofim holds the skull high* Beridze, speak the compelling words!
Trofim:« 1d20 = 18 »
Trofim:(command again)
Liatai:« 1d20+4 = 7 + 4 = 11 »
Liatai:… wow. Beridze is something else. XD
Dosemz:*freezes*
Trofim:Now, come to me, and lie down with hands behind your back, on your gut
Sszeyl has received initiative.
Derish has received initiative.
Cogidubnus:…you only get one command with command.
Cogidubnus:And it can only be one word.
VAE:allright
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks around. For the -second- time, Trofim has proven his worth in keeping this problem-mystic under control.
TMG:(brb)
Trofim:LIE!!
Dosemz:The goblin moves closer to Trofim, but then blinks.
Liatai:— oh, wait, retcon.
Liatai:Lie is the command?
VAE:yep…
VAE:last time i was less brief
Sszeyl:"So anyway. Terri, does Castleton have a viable fish market?"
Dosemz:The goblin lays prone.
VAE:i have forgotten it's one word
Sszeyl has received initiative.
VAE:i only remembered it lasts one turn per level
Terri:Mm-hmm! It's got a wharf, too!
VAE:so i thought it applies for his actions
VAE:as in std action, move action etc…
Liatai:So, is Sszeyl not caring about the combat?
- VAE facepaws
Sszeyl:"How much does fish typically cost?"
VAE:also someone should come and tie him
VAE:otherwise it would be a fail
Meany:He was told to stay, and so he stays.
Terri:I think it depends on the kind of fish?
Derish has received initiative.
VAE:he was told to lie
VAE:he will do so until next turn
Meany:Plus, he doesn't wholey trust the bear.
TMG:oh, I see
TMG:danman
TMG:take a look at Command again
TMG:it has a list of commands you can give
Cogidubnus:I'm pretty sure it only lasts one round, too.
TMG:yeah, it does only last one round
VAE:i noticed now
TMG:we all knew that already, at least
VAE:I know it lasts one round
VAE:and i was looking up the range
Ghostwish:So one goblin making a run for it, eh?
TMG:yeah
VAE:any case , lie and fall do the same
TMG:and on gnogglebolt's turn
Cogidubnus:Regardless of level. And they aren't prevented from resisting you in ways that aren't specified by the command.
VAE:it also means derish should really go there and tie him
Derish:Derish chases after them, at a run!
TMG:he did say "trofim come!" everyone else, stay!" It's up to everyone else whether they listen.
Ghostwish:Run is usually 4x speed.. but I remember there being some rule about armor limiting it to x3?
Ghostwish:Anyone keen on the rule?
TMG:yeah, something like that
Terri:What kind of fish were you thinking of, Mr. Sszeyl?
Cogidubnus:Heavy armor can reduce it to 3x speed.
TMG:so, did Derish hear Gnogglebolt and is just ignoring it, or what? >.>
Ghostwish:.. and I just scrolled up during the moment of quiet. Whoops/.
Ghostwish:Nevermind, Derish moves closer to the other goblins, as if daring them to move.
Ghostwish:End turn!
Alarian has received initiative.
VAE:Surstromming
VAE:that's the fish he was thinking of
Cogidubnus:My turn?
Liatai:Yep!VAE:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surstromming Cogidubnus:Five foot step down.
Sszeyl:"Something cheap, but appetizing for yonder bear."
Cogidubnus:Move action - draw bow. Standard action, shoot.
VAE:see above >:3
TMG:whu???
TMG:he's firing THROUGH both trofim and gnogglebolt?! o.o
Terri:"Mm… I think I saw some for 3 gold a pound? Papa and I usually catch the fish we eat, though…"
Cogidubnus:Unless you're in the same space as the target, there's no risk of my hitting either of you.
TMG:wait, that's not even possible with the rules
TMG:no no
TMG:not only is there "firing into melee", there is "line of sight"
Cogidubnus:I have line of sight.
TMG:you cannot shoot from where you are
VAE:not to mention… the target lies down
VAE:that's silly difficult to hit
TMG:a person in front of you kills line of sight
TMG:read it up
Sszeyl:Sszeyl make the standard FFFFFFFF face.
Cogidubnus:IIiii…no, I don't think so.
TMG:Read it
TMG:*read it!
VAE:go on!
VAE:though if you kill him, trofim will go into crazy mode
VAE:>:3
Cogidubnus:If you have a page number, I'd be glad, but I'm fairly sure that in fact neither you nor Trofim entirely obscure your space.
VAE:not us
VAE:the goblins in front of ya
Cogidubnus:What?
TMG:I'm looking for the page number now
Terri:"Ooh! I know! Do you wanna catch some fish, Mr. Sszeyl?"
Cogidubnus:I've never seen where it says you can't see through people's spaces.
VAE:besides the fact that i wonder how he wants to hit someone lying behind a standing person
Sszeyl:"That would make my pocketbook very happy, yes."
Sszeyl:"But I'm still going to need to spend a bit to keep the bear happy while fishing is going on."
Cogidubnus:Gnogglebolt is both short and not five feet across.
Cogidubnus:Trofim is tall, but also not five feet in diameter. Although you are in a square, you are not actually entirely filling it.
Cogidubnus:This is why it is possible to tumble through someone's space.
Cogidubnus:Or walk through it.
Cogidubnus:There are certain creatures, like oozes, for which this is not true.
Terri:"Oh, is that why the bear's here? He wants fish?"
Cogidubnus:I believe it states in the tumble rules that you can't tumble past them.
VAE:The goblin is lying down
Cogidubnus:I'm getting the feeling you guys want me to do something else.
VAE:wait.. you want to run?
VAE:i though you are trying to arrowshoot
Cogidubnus:Correct.
GM:*ahem* If I may?
VAE:you mayCogidubnus:Please.
GM:For the sake of ending the argument, I am going to say that yes, he can make the shot, but's extremely tricky. -8 on your attack roll.
Sszeyl:"As far as I know. The elves may have promised more."
GM:Fair enough?
VAE:yep
Cogidubnus:Sure.
Cogidubnus:In that case, I'll merely wait, and use my standard to move.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
VAE:oh wait
VAE:that was cog?
Liatai:Yep.
VAE:i thougt it was Derish
Cogidubnus:Yes.
Gnogglebolt:There is a time for subtlety.
Gnogglebolt:This is not one of them.
- VAE facepaws hard
Terri:*starts walking toward the bear*
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt simpl jumps on top of the prone goblin, attemtping to pin him down right off the bat
TMG:(at the very least, he gets -heavy- penalties for being prone, if he is capable of resisting at all)
Liatai:AoO; « 1d20+1 = 17 + 1 = 18 »
Liatai:« 1d2 = 1 »
Dosemz:Dosemz bites the goblin's ankle.
Cogidubnus:He gets +4 AC against ranged, and -4 against melee, RAW.
Dosemz:*the gnome's ankle
VAE:ahahah… selfcannibalism
Liatai:Touch attack!
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt ignores it and continues basically a belly-flop
Sszeyl:Sszeyl watches Terri, but stays within running pimpslap distance of the other goblins.
Gnogglebolt:Touch attack, you say? « 1d20-1 = 13 - 1 = 12 »
TMG:oh, please, -4 AC, help me out here >.>
Terri:"Hi Mr. Bear!" She takes out a scrap of meat from her pocket and holds it out.
Dosemz:You now have a smushed goblin!
Cogidubnus:I think you hit, Tech. Unless he's got some rediculous Dex and deflection.
Dosemz:A smushed, swearing goblin.
Cogidubnus:Grapple check!
Liatai:« 1d20-3 = 3 - 3 = 0 »
Cogidubnus:Snap. xD
Liatai:… yeah you got him. XD
VAE:ahhaa
TMG:xD
TMG:« 1d20-1 = 15 - 1 = 14 »
TMG:(that was the opposed grapple)
Dosemz:*PINNED!*
Cogidubnus:He's definitely grappled.
Cogidubnus:Well, he's not Pinned yet.
TMG:considering he started out prone…
Dosemz:*GRAPPLED!*
VAE:and that dm said so…
TMG:again, rules make no mention of this unusual situation xD
Cogidubnus:That's not what Pinned implies or means.
Trofim has received initiative.
TMG:so, GM's callCogidubnus:It's always the GM's call, but it's not really an odd situation either.
Liatai:Judging by the fact he got a 0 on his grapple check? Yeah, he's pinned.
Trofim:Now, at least you got him
Sszeyl:Spot check on little girls with meat.
Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 13 + 5 = 18 »
Trofim:trofim runs next to the goblin and gnogglebolt, prepared to help him out

Derish has received initiative.
Alarian has received initiative.
Cogidubnus:Well, he gets to roll grapple on his turn, doesn't he?
Liatai:I checked… no. He's immobile.
Cogidubnus:I'm not arguing with the DM, but I know you always get to roll an opposed check to get un-pinned when you've been pinned. But, anyhow.
Sszeyl:"Terri, I don't suppose you can talk to the bear the same way you talk to Papa? The elves seem a bit preoccupied."
- Alarian shrugs, surprised at the Gnome's prowess at wrestling, and walks back out of the cave.
Terri:"Mm-mm." She shakes her head.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Sszeyl:"Curses."
Papa:*watch yourself, bear. You touch the girl, you bleed. Grrr.*
VAE:AHAHAH
VAE:that's just like my first cat
TMG:oh, right
Black Bear:*seriously can I just go home ;.; Scary dog*
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt snarls in Goblin.
Sszeyl:"Papa! You're scaring the bear."
Gnogglebolt:"Stop struggling, you *bleep* fool!"
Papa:*good, he should be scared. Grr.*
VAE:ohho! tech's characters can swear!
TMG:aw crap, that was supposed to be whispered
VAE:well, he speaks common
TMG:and yes, Gnogglebolt swears.
Cogidubnus:Apparently they still get censored, though.
VAE:he's an engineer, he MUST swear
Liatai:Gnogglebolt swears fluently.TMG:He can swear quite vulagr-ly, in fact. That's why he's got Goblin, Orc, Dwarven, and GnollVAE:engineers are worse than sailors
TMG:It's literally in his char description
Sszeyl:"Terri, could you and papa come back over toward the goblins please? Give the bear some room?"
Terri:"OK, Mr. Sszeyl!"
VAE:in fact at work, there was an email - we'll have visit in the labs . Cover up sensitive devices, and no foul language in the labs
Papa:*I've got my eye on you, ursine creature. Grr.*
Sszeyl:"We wouldnt' want him…or is it a her, to go all ragekill on us."
TMG:Eh, gnogglebolt doesn't do anything else except mainatin pin. End turn.
Trofim has received initiative.

TMG:Foodstuffs of indeterminite form.
Ghostwish:Babies.
Trofim:SOMEONE >BLEEP-ING COME HERE WITH >BLEEP
Trofim:ING ROPE
Liatai:… Doesn't Gnogglebolt have rope? o.o
Cogidubnus:I don't have any rope.
Trofim:*Trofim helps Gnogglebolt to secure the goblin by grabbing him firmly
TMG:if there's some leftover from what he pilfered ion the storeroom, yes
- Liatai is willing to help players. :3
Sszeyl has received initiative.
Sszeyl:Sszeyl fishes around his wrap for his rations, and pulls out the jerky. He tentatively approaches the bear, sets it down, and backs off. "I don't know if you understand me, but sorry about the dog scaring you."
Liatai:« 1d20-3 = 5 - 3 = 2 »
Liatai:Grapple check, Gnogglebolt!
Black Bear:« 1d2 = 2 »
- Black Bear is watching carefully!
Gnogglebolt:Grapple Check: « 1d20-1 = 1 - 1 = 0 »
VAE:he shoud have plus 2 since trofi is helping…
Black Bear:… oooh.
- Meany throws ultraball.
VAE:epic fail
Cogidubnus:Snap.
TMG:you've…GOT to be kidding me.
VAE:Gnogglebolt notices he was grabbing a rock instead of the goblin
- Dosemz is not pinned anymore! He is, however, still struggling to break free of your grasp.
Derish has received initiative.
Alarian has received initiative.
Derish:Derish looks quite impatient, but takes- no action?
- Alarian At the sound of the fighting suddenly growing more intense, Alarian sighs, and turns right around.
Cogidubnus:Move action = move
Cogidubnus:I'll also ready an action to shoot the goblin if he escapes the grapple.
VAE:haha.. that'll be fun
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Cogidubnus:Tech?
Gnogglebolt:The large backpack of things on Gnogglebolt's back threw him off, and Dosemz starts to break free. Gnogglebolt grimaces for what is to come next. "Knock him out now!" In the meantime, he focuses on trying to pin Dosemz again. Opposed Grapple: « 1d20-1 = 5 - 1 = 4 »
TMG:fffffff
Liatai:« 1d20-3 = 16 - 3 = 13 »

Trofim:*Trofim tries to pin down the goblin*
VAE:strength check, rigtht?
Liatai:One sec…
TMG:oh
Cogidubnus:Multiple people in the grapple is complicated.
TMG:that's just him entering the grapple
Liatai:Grapple check.
TMG:it's possible
Cogidubnus:There's rules for it.
VAE:heehe… this'll be fun
Meany:Why is Derish getting skipped, again?
Liatai:« 1d20-3 = 1 - 3 = -2 »
VAE:a pub brawl
Liatai:… ooh.
VAE:so, STR?
Cogidubnus:BAB + STR.
TMG:ooh!
TMG:You get a +4 modifer!
Trofim:« 1d20+0+1 = 19 + 0 + 1 = 20 »
TMG:And he gets -4!
Liatai:… Yyyyyou can roll a Grapple check if you want, but seeing as Dosemz got a -2… yeah. XD
TMG:Trofim is one size category larger, so either he gets +4, Dosemz gets -4, or both
Trofim:*Trofim suddenly feels he doesn't need a "+4 modifier" whatever the *bleep* that is
TMG:I can't remember if it's one or both
VAE:see above
Sszeyl has received initiative.
- Black Bear is watching carefully!
VAE:also… see gnogglebolt? This is how one swears
Sszeyl:"Okay, I think the bear's getting ticked off."
VAE:
Sszeyl:"Or maybe expects more jerky."
Dosemz:« 1d20-3 = 6 - 3 = 3 »
Sszeyl:"Possibly both."
VAE:jerky… danman wants to get some now
Dosemz:Grapple checks for Gnogglebolt and Trofim!
TMG:okay, he's in grapple with me and trofim?

- VAE noms jerky
Liatai:Yep, goblin's still stuck.
Derish has received initiative.
Alarian has received initiative.
Liatai:Alarian's turn!
Cogidubnus:Righto.
Cogidubnus:So, what's the state of things?
TMG:Trofim and I both are grappling with Dosemz—
TMG:oh, by the way, Trofim should be in the same square
TMG:and Gnogglebolt shouted to knock him out
Meany:I still don't understand why Derish is getting skipped.
Alarian :Alarian sighs, and once again gestures with his right hand, whispering under his breath. (casts sleep again)
Liatai:« 1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16 »
Ghostwish:I'm on guard duty.Liatai:Alas, the goblin's adrenaline level is too high.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.
Gnogglebolt:Still grimacing, Gnogglebolt takes his own advice and attempts a nonlethal unarmed strike against Dosemz in grapple. Opposed grapple: « 1d20-1 = 3 - 1 = 2 »
TMG:damn
Liatai:« 1d20-3 = 7 - 3 = 4 »
Trofim has received initiative.
Cogidubnus:It should not take more than five rounds to deal with one goblin.
Trofim:Now you small *bleep* will *bleep*ing obey
TMG:he's not giving up…
TMG:hey, GM, can gnogglebolt say something again?
Trofim:Trofim attempts an unarmed strike too, trying to whack the goblin with his large fist
Liatai:Sure. ^^
Trofim:« 1d20+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »
Gnogglebolt:"I said, stop stuggling! You are only making things worse for yourself!"
Trofim:*BLEEP* *bleep*ing rock!
Liatai:« 1d20-3 = 15 - 3 = 12 »
Trofim:Trofim waves his fist, which still hurts from striking the floor instead of Dosemz
Sszeyl has received initiative.
Liatai:Diplomacy check, Gnogglebolt?
TMG:ooh, something I'm good at ^^
Gnogglebolt:« 1d20+7 = 9 + 7 = 16 »
Meany:Would a Diplomacy Check work on a bear?
Cogidubnus:Handle Animal for animals.
VAE:i absolutely love it how trofim only succeeds when Beridze is involved
Dosemz:The goblin, getting tired, stops struggling.
Gnogglebolt:er, VERY warily, Gnogglebolt starts to lessen his grip and back up, pulling rope out of his pocket.
Dosemz:*pant* *wheeze*
TMG:*very
Liatai:Use Rope check!
Gnogglebolt:"Hold him trofim."
Black Bear:… *nom nom*
Trofim:*bleep* it… allright!
TMG:assuming the goblin does not resist further, Gnogglebolt again tries to be careful about it, but apparently, he's just not good with knots. (taking ten, 10+1)
Gnogglebolt:It should at least hold until they get back outside…
Cogidubnus:Hope the goblin has no dex.
Cogidubnus:Otherwise he can take ten and get out of that.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt stands back when he's done, and gives Dosemz a very flat look. "I'm sorry, Dosemz."
Gnogglebolt:"My offer of lieniency has expired."
Sszeyl:"Alright, would one of you elves mind asking the bear for whatever bears use as a name? Calling something by its species seems terribly impolite."
Liatai:Tadrim says something that just sounds like a growly sort of noise.
Gnogglebolt:"Please do not try this again. Next time, I won't stop my allies from doing anything they want to stop you."
Meany:To the bear, or Sszeyl?
Dosemz:*just glares, too worn-out to do anything else*
Trofim:I will take him
Liatai:To Sszeyl.
Trofim:he is something Zairith and Letris must see
Gnogglebolt:"Yes, let us move out of this cave, and get a move on already.
Sszeyl:"…I don't suppose that has a translation?"
Liatai:Tadrim shakes his head.
Trofim:*Throws the goblin on his shoulder again*
Sszeyl:"Anyone have any name suggestions for the bear?"
Terri:"Fuzzy!"
Cogidubnus:Yogi.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt returns outside, doing a headcount of the goblins, and is satisfied they are all still here.
Trofim:Guard him , Papa!
Papa:*woof!*
Trofim:*Scratches the dog*
Trofim:If he tries to run, bite his leg off
Trofim:but not neck, we need him live
- Alarian mounts horse, but doesn't put away his bow yet.
Sszeyl:"Alright, Fuzzy it is."
Gnogglebolt:"Alright! Time to move! Everyone get to the center of the clearing before we move out." *repeats in goblin* To his companions, he says, "Fan our in a circular guard around their collumn."
TMG:*fan out*
Meany:Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear.
Trofim:What should we do?
Trofim:*looks confused*
Meany:Where'd you go?
Alarian :Way left
Gnogglebolt:"Just watch them for the moment. I only have one last thing to say before we march."
Black Bear:*when do I get my fish?*
Sszeyl:"Elves, I think the bear said something again. Translation?"
Black Bear:*fiiiiiiiish*
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at the arrayed group. To his own companions, "I have but one final speech to make to them. However…." Gnogglebolt looks grim. "You may like what I have to say."
Gnogglebolt:With that, he launches in Goblin again.
Sszeyl:"I think I understood that."
Sszeyl:"Someone tell the bear he gets his fish when we get to town, and he can pick which type he wants."
Sszeyl:Minus and substitute so.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt paces back in forth, talking in the most authoritative voice he can muster.
Sszeyl:+,
Black Bear:*oh boy oh boy, fiiiiiiish*
Liatai:((I'll be back in a few minutes… carry on.))
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddely stops pacing.
VAE:fail
Gnogglebolt:He gestures to his companions. "Please take out your weapons, everyone."
- Alarian never put his away
Sszeyl:And lo, did the drow draw forth his zai and juggle them idly.
Derish:It seems Derish never sheathed his sword at all.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt continues speach-making again.
Trofim:Trofim has his heavy flails proudly on his shoulder, as always
Meany:Why are Terri, Trofim, and Papa still over there? :U
Cogidubnus:Papa does what he wants.
VAE:because Trofim was confused over what he was to do
VAE:and Papa is more fun
VAE:not to mention he is guarding his goblin
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt seems to finish his long speech, and once again, pauses.
Cogidubnus:Woof amount of HD is the best amount of HD.
Gnogglebolt:He barks something short.
Liatai:The goblins all mutter assent.
Terri:"I wonder what's going to happen to Mr. Redmaw… If he's late, he won't make it in time for a trial…"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods, satisfied. To his companions, he says, "I just told them that if they try to escape during our march, I will not stop any of you from doing…anything you want to keep them from escaping."
TMG:(does Gnogglebolt hear that? )
Terri:Roll a Listen check.
Gnogglebolt:« 1d20+2 = 14 + 2 = 16 »
Terri:Yep, he hears it.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks over to Terri; "Ah, Miss Terri…why don't you and Ppa join me at the front here?"
Gnogglebolt:And with that, he gestures to everyone else. "RIght then… let's move out!" *repeats in Goblin*
Sszeyl:"Were's that goblin that just made a break for it?"
Terri:"I don't know if they're going to be nice to the goblins without Mr. Redmaw…" Terri frowns, clambering up on Papa.
Trofim:Trofim lifts the goblin up with one hand
Trofim:Here is he!
Trofim:He lets him drop on the floor again from about a foot high
Trofim:(on his feet)
Sszeyl:"Well stop lollygagging and get over here."
Liatai:Did you know goblins bounce? :3
Sszeyl:"I sense the bear is getting hungry."
VAE:we'll find out with Trofim
Black Bear:*So, uh… whaddo I do? The bear just looks confused.*
Trofim:Come. PapaQ
Liatai:« 1d20 = 17 »
Trofim:Trofim calls the dog and drags the goblin behind
Liatai:Papa doesn't come.
Trofim:come!
TMG:pause for a sec
Terri:"What is it, Papa?"
Trofim:You'll get rat meat!
TMG:comp is being crazy
Papa:*wuff*
Sszeyl:"If one makes a move you don't find threatening, you bite them. If they run, you chase them. And then bite them. A lot."
Meany:I'm assuming the elves are auto-translating by this point.
Meany:Also, typo.
Meany:-don't
Terri:"Papa says he smells something…"
Trofim:What is it?
Liatai:Shall we leave it off there for the night? >:3
Meany:I don't mind. :U
TMG:oh great x(
VAE:vote?
Liatai:Mwahahahaha. >:3
Ghostwish:Sounds good to me?
VAE:i go either way
TMG:with how ominous that kind of a cliffhanger is, I'd actually rather not o.o
Terri:"He smells a dog!"
Terri:With that, Terri and Papa take off for the cave.
VAE:better than saying "he smells"
Trofim:Wait!
Liatai:And then, we'll leave off there. :3
Trofim:Trofim eaves the goblin slumping and rushes behind them
Liatai:Less ominous? :3
VAE:yep
TMG:okay xD
Meany:Mhm,.
VAE:definitely less ominous
TMG:alrighty, I guess I'm good
Meany:And now back to the laptop.
Meany is disconnected.
Alarian :We're done for the evening?
VAE:yep
Cogidubnus:Righto
TMG:indeed. back to Liatalk!
Cogidubnus:I'm going to go to bed then. xD
