TMG has connected.

Ghostwish:hrm... is there a way to group macros?

TMG:There is, but I can't remember how. :B

TMG:Oh, doy.

Ghostwish:http://tc1013.com/Map_Tool/MTCTMT_P3.html

Ghostwish::&gt;

TMG:Just edit the macro, and put something in the 'group' field

TMG:yeah, that

Ghostwish:Fanks!

VAE:while the macro talk goes on, imma off to murder a few tanks

Liatai:Game time's in about seven minutes, you sure?

VAE:that's half the max time a game takes before it's a draw

Liatai:Heh, okay. x3

TMG:<font color="#000000">hmm....we're missing meany and doktor

TMG:<font color="#000000">and heck, I think I'll play a quick round of a game myself. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">but first, new token for Miron

VAE:<font color="#000000">and done :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Huzzah! :D

VAE:<font color="#000000">someone suddenly looks a lot more human

Liatai:<font color="#000000">XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, as opposed to undead

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Indeed. Much less undead. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">lunch time, brb!

<font color="#0000ff">Meany has connected.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yo!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Starting map is Graveyard. :3

Meany:<font color="#666666">Thankee.

Meany:<font color="#666666">o-O

Meany:<font color="#666666">Lag does weird things to moving across pages. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Meany, did you catch the bit I said about Sszeyl and Miron's EXP?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You guys should not be 2000 EXP behind. &gt;: TMG:<font color="#000000">well, for Sszeykl at least

TMG:<font color="#000000">how was he handling EXP when Barbarus was present but Sszeyl wasn't?

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, lot of things shouldn't happen and they do

* Meany crashes.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Now, the question is how to rectify it.

Meany:<font color="#666666">I just got lagstorm.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Well, for the past two week...I haven't been updating -any- exp values.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Anywhere. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">...and WHY?

Meany:<font color="#666666">Due to the lag that results from opening token notes.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ah.

Meany:<font color="#666666">And reloading a field heavy sheet.

TMG:<font color="#000000">x_x

TMG:<font color="#000000">then do what I used to!

TMG:<font color="#000000">keep EXP on a -text- file!

Meany:<font color="#666666">I'm having to keep Task Manager up to make sure I know when something is lagging, and when it's not responsive. :B Kinda pushing it as is.

* Meany hates this comp so damn much. :BB

Meany:<font color="#666666">Anyway.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Two thousand exp behind?

TMG:<font color="#000000">Some of that can be accounted for the EXP you, y'know, -haven't added

Meany:<font color="#666666">Aha.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Token is definitely behind sheet.

Meany:<font color="#666666">No no no. This should have been before the reformat.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Laziness. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">from just last session, the ghoul fight, 50+100+250 for everyone (Cal'Tel, Commander, and ghouls respectively&quot;

Meany:<font color="#666666">Fixed.

TMG:<font color="#000000">barbarus: +90 for m'Nine Lives&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl: +100 for passive-agressive sniping

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">back!

Meany:<font color="#666666">Thankee.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Could someone without lag issues tell me the damage for nunchucks, please? :o

Meany:<font color="#666666">I'm thinking...d6?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">1d6, yep!

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Thankee. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Testing macro before game starts. :U ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Shall we give Hatari another ten or fifteen minutes to show up?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5+mod = 3 + 5 + 0 = 8&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Nunchucku crack! For &#171; &#160;1d6+3+modb = 3 + 3 + 0 = 6&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; damage!

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Sure!

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( I agree to extension. :B Gives me time to fetch tea. ))

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Be it by Kor or Tathi, someone just got the 'shocker'. &#171; &#160;5d6 = 18&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; points of shocking damage as lightning flies from their hand/paw!

<font color="#0000ff">Dr. Hatari has connected.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:O!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's a Hatari! :D

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">There's the doktur!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Guuu... I'm sorry. T3T

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( YoDoktor! ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Work ran really late. I'm sore and sleepy.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( D: ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">But here~

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( *gives tea an massage* ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">and*

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Who wants a happy ending eggroll? =3= ))

GM:<font color="#000000">Let's get a roll call!

Rolls:<font color="#6600CC">You rang?

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Present! ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Mostly present. Just settling in.

TMG:<font color="#000000">oop!

TMG:<font color="#000000">Present!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Not to worry, Hatari, take your time. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Still got to wait on Fae and Vae.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Fae? VAE? ))

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Sorry, was just getting food.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Here now.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( *lures them in with happy ending eggrolls* ))

GM:<font color="#000000">VAE's probably still blowing up tanks. =3=; Shall we start the beginning-of-session recap and/or roleplay while we wait?

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Yes!

TMG:<font color="#000000">sure!

* GM opens the Book of Akellon.

GM:<font color="#000000">Where were we... ah yes.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Suddenly, squirrels. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Dire squirrel vampires. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Everywhere. ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">excuse me? After the way you flopped against dire rats? You got a loooong way to go before you're ready for squirrels, son.

GM:<font color="#000000">The Vigilant Guardians had met with Commander Ashmore and taken on a joint operation between them and the Leaden Mace to clear the area around the Sargano tomb of necromancers and ghouls.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Hush, spectre. ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">:&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">XD

GM:<font color="#000000">Upon arriving at the graveyard, they encountered a pack of ghouls and ghasts, as well as a bunch of tombs with oddly familiar names. Dispatching the ghouls with ease, the Guardians now stand before the Sargano tomb, ready to open the door with an old iron key found around a foul-smelling ghast's neck...

GM:<font color="#000000">The old tumblers click into place, and the door opens wth a dusty creak.

* VAE mrows

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, with sinuses still plugged, takes said rusty key, and opens the door whole getting his blunderbuss up and ready....

* Sszeyl replaces whatever weapon the bot used, and takes out his fancy new nunchucks.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Were these things masterwork? &gt;&gt;;; ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes!

* Miron got a facelift

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Thankee. ))

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi quirks an eyebrow.. &quot;Miron.. you look.. different.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Blinking through watery eyes, Gnogglebolt looks in the room. &quot;Er...seems clear...&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">How very strange. o.o

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;May I look?&quot;

* Miron babbles something about scanners and the fourth wall

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He takes a step back. &quot;SOmeone else take point for a minute.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Darkvision, and all.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I have no idea why that slice of fog isn't clearing.

TMG:<font color="#000000">liatai; light.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh, there we go. =3=

TMG:<font color="#000000">Only two people have ligthsources on their tokens

TMG:<font color="#000000">so that was normal

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 13 + 5 = 18&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Spot check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 5 + 5 = 10&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Listen check!

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;I could have Kor sneak in there and check it out?&quot;

* Richter Malino steps near the door, holding his lighted staff up to provide some lighting. The tomb seems clear, and a tad dusty. An altar sits near the far wall, with a depiction of the Sargano family crest on it.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;All clear.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anything?&quot; Gnogglebolt asks, still rubbing his eyes.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Move silently check!

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi mutters, &quot;Why does he ask all clear and then move right in?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Flint, Richter, anything you need to check for?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Huh. I just walked in front of my toaster and commanded, &quot;COME ONNNNN! &gt;:O&quot; and my waffles immediately popped.

<font color="#0000ff">Meany is disconnected.

<font color="#0000ff">Meany is disconnected.

* Dr. Hatari has the touch.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">TOOUUCCCH OF LOOOOVEEEE

<font color="#0000ff">Meany has connected.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well. Necromancers do like to put undead in trick coffins for traps. Smoke can sniff out any undead lying in wait... don't know if any of your other animals know how to seek.&quot;

* Smoke perks up. Seek?! :O

Meany:<font color="#666666">Gnogglebolt: &quot;Hmm. Flint, Richter, anything you need to check for?&quot;

Ezer:<font color="#006666">What was that about sneak? :o

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm.&quot; Thomas rounds the corner and keeps his shield arm braced.

Ezer:<font color="#006666">...seek, even

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Rushing would be folley. But these defensive spells will only persist for a bit less than an hour. I think we should keep up a momentum until the whole crypt is at peace.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Go on, Smoke. Seek.&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Oh boy, oh boy! :D Time to work!

Kor:<font color="#6600CC">Sniff sniff sniff, what's Kor smell?

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Sniffsniffsniffsniff.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron enters the tomb, but keeps well away from Smoke

* Smoke trots back out and sits at Flint's feet.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's the 'all clear.' Where the devil are they hiding?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus frowns. He nods to the others and stalks down the corridor.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Below, no doubt. That's what necromancers are... bottom feeders.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">would a spellcraft check be appropriate around?

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">what spell do you see??

VAE:<font color="#000000">to find if there is anything spellike

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt lets the experts do their thing, as he stays outside to try and clear up his senses.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You'd need Detect Magic for that.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">spellcraft doesn't find anything spelllike. detect magic does.

* Thomas Lazarus idly examines the altar. He doesn't go so far as to touch it yet.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Where ever they're hiding, I imagine they're not intending to be easy to find.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Taking 20 on search for 27 to look through the tomb.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&#171; &#160;1d20+floor((intelligence-10)/2) = 13 + floor((19 - 10) / 2) = 17&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; intelligence check to do a quick search!

* Richter Malino looks back at Flint and Gnogglebolt. &quot;... You both look like you caught the brunt of that smell...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi daintily covers her nose. &quot;They did.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt miserably nods. &quot;Yeah, I did.&quot;

Liatai whispers: Miron finds a hidden switch on the altar... one of the chimera's horns has an indent around it. It's clearly a button.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Heya

Miron:<font color="#000000">There!

Miron:<font color="#000000">There's a button on one of the horns

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Here.&quot; Tathi says, pointing at the chimera's horn. &quot;That's an indent there, and it's actually a button.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus raises brows.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't worry, it should fade with time. Though if you don't want to wait, I do have a spell that can dispel -- hm?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi reports information SO much better than you do, Miron. :P

* Flint Carthan sidles into the tomb, past people, approaching the altar. &quot;Hidden switches, huh.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe Gnogglebolt should take a look before we press any mysterious buttons in crypts.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">That's unusual for a bloody tomb...and given that the Sargano family had this built...

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi ponders a moment. &quot;I don't suppose we have anyone skilled at finding traps, do we? Who wants to chance it?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll be fine, I'm feeling slighty better as time goes on.&quot;

* Richter Malino nods.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh? Buttons? Someone call my name?&quot; Gnogglebolt looks up?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll volunteer to push it. But.. I don't hate the idea of an expert opinion. ^^;&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Am beginning to think Luis Sargano might well not be the only suspicious member of their family. Honest people don't need to hide anything, after all.

* Thomas Lazarus speaks up. &quot;There's a hidden device.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi nods towards the alter. &quot;Have a close look at that horn there.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">And yeah, Tathi is better at reporting :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, still wiping his eyes, shuffles into the tomb and takes at look at what's pointed out to him.

* Thomas Lazarus gestures to the horn.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you coming in, sir Elros?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Ah, yes.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Knowledge Architechture and Engineering to understand what it is, and also -when- it was installed: &#171; &#160;1d20+12-2 = 10 + 12 - 2 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not sure if this is your kind of thing or not, truly.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#666666">Please...pause?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Oh. Sup?

TMG:<font color="#000000">pausing.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 4 + 6 = 10&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; knowledge architecture to assist Gnogglebolt!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's clearly a switch, and you can see rollers on the ground under the altar. It looks to be the same age as the altar, which looks about a century old.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Okay...despite horrible lag, I'm back...ish.

VAE:<font color="#000000">as a total aside this makes me wonder wtf doesn't Miron have Detect Magic.. i clearly failed hard at some point picking 0 level spells. This must be remedied at next time at the Mace.. they are just 100 gold each after all

Meany:<font color="#666666">Can't really see what I'm typing anymore...or any responses.

Meany:<font color="#666666">And somehow, scroll lock refuses to work anymore. ;~;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">=3=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&gt;: Meany:<font color="#666666">Click off, it turns itself back on, etc.

Meany:<font color="#666666">We still on the graveyard?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yep.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">For the moment.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Kay.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Grunting slightly, and after corroborating a few technical details with Tathi, Gnogglebolt reports; &quot;...Yeah, it's old. At least as old as this altar, probably a few centuries. There's some rollers underneath, this must be covering a hidden passage. Looks to have been used recently, too.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Lovely, a warm trail then.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">As i said.. suspicious tendencies within the whole family. *frowns*

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Culturally insensitive peeps, my friends. =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well. As long as it's not some horrible pit, and there aren't saw blades or carbon score marks or something imaginative like that.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Why, that's why we send you down first, Thomas!&quot; Tathi says, with more than enough cheer to rub it into the poor cleric.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;I contest that. :U&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miron, we'll check the Sargano records and see if they actually purchased the ground beneath their tomb legally Let's not jump to conclusions about the whole family.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;People who can see in the dark without light should be going first. :B&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I can help with that.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can take it.&quot; He smirks. &quot;By now, I know better than to let any of you think you could do better.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Instead, let's focus on this bad apple who's using the family hideaway improperly.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's a spell that was in the books found in the other tomb your group cleared with Flint that allows anyone to see in the dark without light.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Thomas is presently surrounded by a pair of wisps, which are providing very potent (30ft) illumination.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">He'll be able to see hunky dorey.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;I know that spell as well, but I did not prepare it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gets out of the way and straps his blunderbuss away, pulling out his crossbow. &quot;So, who wants to do the honors?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi got a masterwork shortbow, didn't she?

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;I only have it prepared once, but it's an option.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;M'ah. Let's keep up the pace. They can only prepare more with that thunderous entrance.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus reaches for the horn and gives it pressure from a few different angles as he figures it out.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Click!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Work, work. =3=

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Scrrrrrape scrape scrape.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">...oooookay.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The stone makes a grinding sound as the altar slides back, revealing a dark hole and a ladder.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">xd

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I just got a razor in the mail from Gilette.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">That I didn't order.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Welcome.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">It says &quot;Happy 18th Birthday&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">is it addressed to you?

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( It's a trap! ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">wtf?

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Which was...in May of last year. :U

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( They want to shave your legs and call you grandma! :U ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">o.o

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It's the thought that counts? ^^;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">The thought being &quot;BUY OUR RAZORS D:&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">XD

* Faerie giggles

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Anywayz. :U Gamez? ))

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Sorry, I was just amused by that.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There's a hole in the ground under the altar, and a ladder descending.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( It's cool. =3= ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Was amusing. x3 ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">the ladder is also ascending, though, if you count from the bottom

Liatai:<font color="#000000">In the torchlight, you can see a dusty stone floor.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Is the ladder stone, or set into the crypt? Or literally a wooden ladder?

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Dun forget de kitteh. :o ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">blast. undead are immune to stunning, aren't they?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Stone and set into the crypt.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">As a rule of thumb, assume undead are immune.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">...seeing these tombs reminds me of Han Solo in carbonite. &gt;.&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Period.

* Smoke whines.

TMG:<font color="#000000">so.. vworp tokens to Tomb map?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Also lol cannot unsee carbonite Han Solos everywhere.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Maybe we should lower the dog into the crypt first!

Miron:<font color="#000000">It can smell undead, after all.

* Thomas Lazarus clears his throat curtly before descending the ladder.

* Flint Carthan scruffs the dog's fur. &quot;It's okay, old boy. We'll get you down there somehow. I know you don't like ladders...&quot; Oh, such a glare for Miron until he adds the smelling undead comment.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;We should lower you. You're lighter.&quot; Tathi says with a grin.

Miron:<font color="#000000">No problems with that, miss.

Kor:<font color="#6600CC">Wait a second I don't like where this conversation is going..

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;If there are undead, we'll have to deal with them anyway.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Shall I paste to a spot on el Tomb-o?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Working on it. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Nevermind I'm blind. ^^

Ezer:<font color="#006666">...wait, how is a cat supposed to get down a ladder again? =3=;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">You and me against the world, teeny Rin. D|

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Probably painfully clinging to its master.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">While smoke pants and smiles being carried overshoulder. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Eventually, somehow, the whole party and animals descends into a room filled with stone caskets.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">:D

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Well.. I see only one way forward.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">w Liatai how many minutes have passed now?

* Dr. Hatari carried a 70lbs dog across a yard once. She was totally like, &quot;THIS IS AWESOME YAY :D&quot; while I struggled.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fixed it on your token, Tech. :3

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Cats don't habve masters. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( They have attendants. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">some cats do

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt blinks and looks around. &quot;Hmm. Looks innocuous enough, this looks to be an official tomb.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">like my ex-cat

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Enforce vision on spot? :o ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( I'm lost in a see of black. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">it was loyal and obedient

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 3 + 5 = 8&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Spot check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 11 + 5 = 16&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Listen check!

* Thomas Lazarus frowns slightly as he looks around at the caskets.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*rubs chin* Only this one room probably stretches out under two other crypts.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... caskets in a necromancer's lair. I don't like it. Some of them could be trapped.&quot; Flint turns to Elros. &quot;Does that cat of yours know how to find creatures?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros looks around. Just in case, spot &#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 13 + 11 = 24&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You see nothing but dust and caskets. And, of course, the ladder.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Agreed. It would have been nice to have brother Merrimac along just for this. ..Ahh.. we'll perservere.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Agreed. Don't touch anything you don't have to.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;I spy a portal. :U&quot;

* Flint Carthan is still waiting for a reply from Elros.

* Sszeyl tackles teeny rin. =3=

Teeny Rin:<font color="#000000">DO YOU WANNA GO DR--*smush*

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Oh, well...to some extent yes, although I regret to say we haven't particularly practiced it.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;No better chance to practice than now. Care to help?&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Go on, Smoke, seek.&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Betcha I can find undead faster than you can, cat! :D

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros nods. &quot;Go on Ezer, you too.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus keeps an eye on the animals as they snuffle about.

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Butbut...dog! D: Ezer:<font color="#006666">...fine.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Smoke and Ezer find nothing.

Kor:<font color="#6600CC">Sniff sniff sniff, what's Kor smell?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Kor smells dust and cobwebs. :B

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Well, either this room is quite elaborate cover for something, or it's rather innocent.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods mutely as the animals return without being agitated.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Let's press forward. :.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Agreed.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Oho.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Tom, looks like a job for muscle. :o&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus smirks a bit.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*frowning* This place i don't like a bit.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Smoke, you don't have the upper body strength for this. ;U&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Elros, Flint, stack up near me. Everyone else that's a good shot can follow.&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Bowr?

* Thomas Lazarus sheathes his blade and lays a hand on the door handle. He nods to Sszeyl.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Crossbow still at the ready, Gnogglebolt prepares to follow the others in.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 19 + 3 = 22&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Strength check!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Likewise~ &#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 13 + 4 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The door reluctantly grinds open.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros readies his swords, though leaves them sheathed. Just in case.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">My vision appears to be curiously blocked.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Perhaps after I advance.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">I can see.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">There we go.

* Sszeyl follow up right behind. :U

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let there be light. :3

* Thomas Lazarus draws his blade and advances.

<font color="#0000ff">Faerie is disconnected.

<font color="#0000ff">Meany is disconnected.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">An ordinary looking hallway for the crypt I take

<font color="#0000ff">Faerie has connected.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Ack we're bleeeediiiing

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Sorry, got a MT error.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I can't move Sszeyl or Elros. ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Someone should make sure the exit is safe, too.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Liatai: Try now?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Better. :3

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Woo~

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Not for Sszeyl, though.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Well, he isn't mine. :P

Miron:<font color="#000000">I don't want to see someone closing up and jamming the altar behind us.

<font color="#0000ff">Meany has connected.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">=3=;

* Richter Malino rubs his chin. &quot;Maybe if one of us had an alarm spell...&quot;

Meany:<font color="#666666">Please pause.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Young miss Tathi, perhaps?

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Sorry, another spell I know, but have not prepared.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;That does sound pretty bad.. but.. well.. we may be hard-pressed ahead. We did atleast clear the entrance coming in.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Whoops.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I've only relatively recently discovered that 'open slot' trick for cleric spells. Can Wizards do that too?

Meany:<font color="#666666">I last saw us going into the tunnel at the very bigining.

Meany:<font color="#666666">After that, had to close client. ^^;

Meany:<font color="#666666">Unexpected errors.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Ah. Movement issues I imagine.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt.. can you throw something that'd alert us together?

Miron:<font color="#000000">Nothing complicated.. just a loud noise if someone enters the tomb.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Could someone tell me what happened? :/.

TMG:<font color="#000000">whispering to you what you missed meany, unless someone else already is...

Meany:<font color="#666666">:/*

Meany:<font color="#666666">No whispers! D: The lag!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Go ahead tech. I hesitated wondering if he was lagging or what.

* Meany bricked.

TMG:<font color="#000000">.... -_-

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I.. don't think long whispers actually RAM or latency lag you. They're mere bytes of data. ^^;

* Richter Malino looks down at Miron. &quot;... Looks like we're being pressed into single file.&quot; ^^; &quot;Would you like to cover the rear, or shall I?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#666666">With all the completely random lag, I'm not taking chances. :/

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Very well. All we've done is enter single file and have some small talk. Nothing particularly significant.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Hmm, I can do that. Either way, i'm best when i have them at hand *casts a Cure Light Wounds on his hand*

Meany:<font color="#666666">Lag splosion.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry Miron, not really. Anyway, Elros, can you pick up your cat, and Tathi, shall I be in front of you?&quot; Gnogglebolt holds up his crossbow.

* Thomas Lazarus decides to not hold things up overmuch. He raises his shield (maintaining a Full Defense) and rounds the corner.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*sigh* Well, I hope we won't have to spend a week here then.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;How's it look up there?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus drones softly. &quot;Clean. Clear.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Forward, then?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Liatai, I've a curious issue.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It looks like you're &quot;gripping&quot; my token and I can't move it.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">There we go.

VAE:<font color="#000000">happened to me earlier

VAE:<font color="#000000">maptool gets silly in such cases

TMG:<font color="#000000">not really.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros shrugs, scoops Ezer up, and drapes him across his shoulders.

* Thomas Lazarus mutters again. &quot;About 30 more feet. Another door. Get ready.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">It's simply a horrible idea to have two people try and move the same token at the same time. :B

* Thomas Lazarus waits for the others to catch up before trying for the door.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Aid Another Door.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Strength check!

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros thinks this wouldn't be practical for fighting, but eh.

* Flint Carthan nods, drawing his sword and dagger.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">For when he makes his check.:o

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks around in the cramped space. &quot;A murder-alley...I don't like it.&quot; He whispers.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">That looks like everyone. Alright.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hear anything on the other side?&quot; Flint mutters ahead.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Um, wouldn't the whole point be Miron waiting near the other exit?

* Thomas Lazarus pauses briefly. He puts his ear to the door. Listen. &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 1 + 2 = 3&#160;  &#187;

VAE:<font color="#000000">until a given signal?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Sounds like... the sea.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everyone, hold still and be quiet, so those up front can listen for anything on the other side...&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">You can retry :D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nope.&quot; He whispers.

TMG:<font color="#000000">take 20?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Huh? Well, if that's how he interprets it... but Richter meant taking the rear position in the group. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Can you take 10/20 on sense checks? :o

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Lag splosion. x-x ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 4 + 5 = 9&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Listen check!

TMG:<font color="#000000">Try Again: Yes. You can try to hear something that you failed to hear previously with no penalty.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7-2 = 5 + 7 - 2 = 10&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Listen check, too, though everything still feels stuffed up from ghast-stink.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Anything that says that means 20 is an option.

TMG:<font color="#000000">if you can retry without penalty, 20 is always an option.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mm.. it's going to come to this sooner or later.&quot; Tom hoists his shield, and grips the door with his sword-arm. (Full defense mit standard, door mit move.)

TMG:<font color="#000000">so, I'd highly suggest that ^^

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">If there was any chance we could sneak in or get better prepared, I'd hold up the conga line of impatient blasters for it. Buuut considering the circumstancesss... ^^;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">But that's good to know. I didn't think you could do that.

Ghoul 4:<font color="#000000">The door opens on a grisly scene. Four of the same emaciated undead seen on the surface, crouched around a pile of bloody meat that looks disturbingly like a fresh corpse. They look up as the door swings open, blood dribbling from their mouths... and snarl. Roll initiative!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, Thomas--&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">''And planning fails once again... well, all is clean at the moment at least... Still, this is twice as many as the Commander would allocate... now let's hope neither does something as silly as to kill us all.. but then, they haven't , so far, except for the drow and even he just almost killed himself. Who knows... Saint Cuthbert aid us ''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">DAMMIT!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Not again!

Miron:<font color="#000000">What's going on?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 8 + 1 = 9&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Dex check!

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&#171; &#160;1d20+floor((dexterity-10)/2) = 1 + floor((17 - 10) / 2) = 4&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; initiative!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Init &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 3 + 1 = 4&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Init: &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 8 + 1 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Ghoul 4:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 5 + 2 = 7&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d20+2 = 4 + 2 = 6&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d20+2 = 15 + 2 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">How clog-like.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Okay, dafuq just happened? ))

Elros:<font color="#006666">Init &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 13 + 3 = 16&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...my dex is 12. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">is Tathi's 13?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Meany: Tom opened the door. There are some ghouls in there.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( A fifteen, a seventeen, and a twenty for evildoers. ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Oh, that. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Whoops! You should be able to set your own init now.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Also, Sszeyl has 13. :B ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">brb

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 12 + 3 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">At present, we are bottle-necked into a corridor against 4 Ghouls. Tom's present AC for this is 28. This is why he is &quot;anxious&quot; about letting the others sneak ahead. :3

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 14 + 1 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ghouls!' Richter calls back along the corridor. Roll init, Miron?

* Dr. Hatari corrects Tom's init. =3=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 6&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Screw it... but then, not like it's unexpected.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros wonders whether he's going to be stuck back here, or whether he can get past people. &gt;.&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You can move past friendly tokens. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">back!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">The Ghouls will.. prooobably dog-pile onto the entrance since they won init. ^^;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">But you can atleast draw a crossbow and snipe them.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#666666">Rin rolls init!

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi has 17 dex.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+100 = 14 + 100 = 114&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187;

Ghoul 4:<font color="#000000">One ghoul leaps at Thomas! &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; bite, checking for crits.

Ghoul 3:<font color="#000000">Another does the same! &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 7 + 2 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

* Thomas Lazarus braces himself into a one-man shield wall near the door!

Elros has received initiative.Liatai:<font color="#000000">Go half-elf go! :D

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;There are some lovely fighting conditions, they are.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I would be glad to draw their attention and advance into the room for the others to flood in, but..

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">..Yeah, last in init. ^^;;;

Meany:<font color="#666666">Question!

TMG:<font color="#000000">This is actually a time where I think nearly everyone would want to delay.

Meany:<font color="#666666">What is Area? :o

Meany:<font color="#666666">Why is it yellow?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Ah, yes.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">So um...would it be valid for Elros to squeeze past so he can do something?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">That is Thomas Cirlce of Protection from Evil.

Meany:<font color="#666666">What's your favorite song?

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Or is he stuck in the back?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Length times width if it's a rectangle we're talking about. :B *BRICK'D*

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh yeah, Elros could rush past everyone.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">You'll draw attacks from both ghouls.

Meany:<font color="#666666">And, Ghouls, how many fingers am I holding up? :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Anyone standing in it gets +2 to AC and +2 to saves versus evil.

TMG:<font color="#000000">he just can't end move in an occupied square

Meany:<font color="#666666">Ooh.

TMG:<font color="#000000">but yes, you will draw at least 2 AoOs.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Hmm... :.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Do I want to risk it? &gt;.&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">That's why I was hoping to go first, and draw those AoOs for everyone to safely enter.

TMG:<font color="#000000">So either sit tight and wait for an opening, or charge in and risk the hits.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I don't suggest it. Then you'll be in the middle of four ghouls.

TMG:<font color="#000000">I know I at least am actually going to delay for a perfect chance.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Yup, I'd be doing ranged against #2 if I were in your position.

TMG:<font color="#000000">...whyyyyy did Tom have to roll the LOWEST init? xD

Faerie:<font color="#006666">...oh, hey

TMG:<font color="#000000">or, yeah!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">I'm sorry. T3T

TMG:<font color="#000000">You can plink at #2 with a bow

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Could I shoot past people?

TMG:<font color="#000000">you can shoot over heads, yes.

Faerie:<font color="#006666">And can I draw and shoot in one action?

TMG:<font color="#000000">as far as I know.

* Ghostwish is not wise or tactically sound. 4 years in the marines is NOT a factor!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes. And be quite cinematic about it, too. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">You could shoot, or delay. Moving in would, well. I don't wish to metagame overmuch. But I honestly don't think a single person here could survive four ghouls full-attacking with 3 swings, each, rolling paralyze checks every time... ^^;;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It would be poor

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros dramatically draws his bow, and warns those in front of him to get down, before firing over their heads at Ghoul 2! &#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 11 + 8 = 19&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187; (Assuming I have that right. &gt;.&gt;)

Ghoul 2:<font color="#000000">It sticks into the ghoul with a nasty-sounding splutch. Roll damage!

Meany:<font color="#666666">For the melee minded.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Holy waters.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Fling them.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Ahhhh yes. Good call.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Er. Ahhhh yes. Good call.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">it's generally assumed you can fire through their spaces without hitting them. Each block is a 5 foot by 5 foot space, after all

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Damage, Elros? :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">roll damage with attacks to make things go faster. :&gt;

Meany:<font color="#666666">What's the damage for Holy Water? :.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Ah right, damage. &gt;.&gt; &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I have no idea.

Elros:<font color="#006666">...no wait

Elros:<font color="#006666">Derp

Elros:<font color="#006666">&#171; &#160;1d8+3 = 4 + 3 = 7&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&gt;.&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yeah, there's no way a bow deals 1d20 damage, nice try. :B

Meany:<font color="#666666">Whhhhhhhy can't damage be d20? :B

Ghoul 2:<font color="#000000">But that skewered this ghoul right through the lung!

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Saw +3, and got confused with my attack roll, which also gets +3. &gt;.&gt;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And actually..,.Gnogglebolt puts away the holy water.

* Thomas Lazarus proceeds when everyone looks ready.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Reluctantly he moves nearer... he needs to see inside the door, and desecrating someone's corpse by treading on it would be worse.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros prepares himself.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">he pulls out a flask of orange fluid instead.

* Flint Carthan readies hs weapons and nods.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Same readied action, though.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And once everyone has nodded to be ready, Gnogglebolt holds up the hand that isn't holding the flask, and holds up three fingers.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He puts one down.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Then another.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">afk a bit

* Richter Malino holds up a hand and shakes his head.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt stops, and lowers his hand.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">I'm not thirsty, thanks. *Brick'd!*

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">He closes his eyes and mutters a spell phrase, tracing St. Cuthbert's symbol in the air with one hand. A sheath of white light races over everyone present; +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saving throws versus fear.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">Then he nods.

* Thomas Lazarus smirks a bit before proceeding.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">back!

* Dr. Hatari can't unhear the chime of Priest healing spells from WoW when bless goes off. Curse you, years of raiding.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods to Richter, then holds up his empty hand again. Three fingers up. One goes down. Then a second.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">and the choir bursts into song

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( What's the hold up, if it's not rude to ask? =3= ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Then he puts down his last finger and points his fist towards the door in the same motion.

Troglodyte Zombie 1:<font color="#000000">There are two hulking, lizardlike creatures here... They look different than your lizardfolk friends Jalzar and Sstheric, though. Leaner, longer in the body, longer in the tail. And, of course, undead. A canine skeleton patrols the area south of the doorway.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">We're always this frustratingly cautious. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">unlike some other groups...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Take those readied actions! This is the surprise round. :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sure.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Yay! *happy dance!*

* Thomas Lazarus maintains his bulwark and position. He stoops a bit lower to let the others supply their firepower.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">would you believe I am actually -trying- to use up all the charges on my wands? A lot harder than it seems. :&gt;

TMG:<font color="#000000">unfortunately, Elros draws an AoO...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">That's funny. In no time flat, being conservative, I blew through 50 heals on my old one. Guess that says something about us. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">Damnable undead. Damn the back to hell. @_@

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Undead are generally immune to everything. Except... damage. They're rather counter-balanced by no con boni or the ability to go into negatives. Not to mention the scores upon pages of undead-specific attacks that are devastating and offer them no saves.

TMG:<font color="#000000">someone's wounded? xD

Meany:<font color="#666666">Please pause.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I think we've had a 1 for every Ghoul 20.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah.. tom somehow gets over half his HP in excess positive energy and blows up

TMG:<font color="#000000">no, wait...NO one is wounded? XD (oh, sorry meany)

Meany:<font color="#666666">Lag storm.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl had a small amount of bite damage, but it's cured now.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... crud. Am I lagging?

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Meany said pause, you're fine I think.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh, no I'm not. Yay. :3

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I'm typed, just waiting for Meany.

Meany:<font color="#666666">...

Meany:<font color="#666666">I'm being summoned. :/

TMG:<font color="#000000">how long?

Meany:<font color="#666666">Auto-pilot as ye see fit.

Meany:<font color="#666666">They don't tell me these things. o-O

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ah. That long. &gt;.&gt;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Well now, let's try this again. You there. Zombie. Prepare to die. &#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 11 + 5 = 16&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187; and &#171;  &#160;1d20+5 = 7 + 5 = 12&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yeesh. See ya, Meany.

Troglodyte Zombie 1:<font color="#000000">You mean re-die... oh whatever. Semantics don't matter when you're a pile of carved meat. =3=

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And in less than fifteen seconds, the room is devoid of undead.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi breathes a sigh of relief.. &quot;Well, they certainately are well stocked here, aren't they?&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros wipes his swords on the animal's fur, and puts them away.

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Hey! &gt;:O

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sees the last one fall, and nods. &quot;Excellent. Everyone, prepare again, and hush for a minute...&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 19 + 7 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; listen, as well.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shuffles over to the next door, and once again kneels down to listen intently. Taking 20, 20+2=22

* Thomas Lazarus collects his shield off the ground. It's dusty and scratched from all the times he has dropped it to the ground, but ehn. &gt;:3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Can't wait until we develop out own SDE ^^

Miron:<font color="#000000">Hushes, and polishes his sunglasses. ''Bloody hell, these things dodge. I hope it's not me getting old ''

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You hear what I hear, Gnogglebolt?&quot; the witch-hunter mutters... and indeed you do. A voice muttering on the other side of the door, and hoofed footfalls.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I'm unfamiliar with the acronym

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh, Liatai's mentioned it a few times

TMG:<font color="#000000">one of her old groups had a 'Standard Door Ettiquete&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">ohp, one sec

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;You know, I do have one spell that will allow me to see behind the doors..&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus raises his brows at that.

* Richter Malino looks at Tathi and blinks.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt suddenly starts furious waving his hands at the other, making a 'down' motion, and push a finger to hislips in &quot;shush&quot;, and keeps listening.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;... what spell is that?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*at the others

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Clairaudience/Clairvoyance.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He motions for Tathi to approach.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt points two fingers at each of his eyes, then at the door, and nods to Tathi, while continuing to listen.

* Thomas Lazarus congenially makes room, as needed.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Back.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">While tontinuing to listen, Gnogglebolt looks at Thomas.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi, unsure of why Gnogglebolt would want her to stare at a door, casts her spell as quietly as possible, designating the area just beyond the door as her target.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He holds up one finger, then taps Thomas's armor.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghost, follow Rin. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Heh.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt hopes everyone understood.

* Thomas Lazarus slides in near Gnogglebolt after a few moments.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Can you see, Ghost?

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Yup!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt relinquishes his position, and gingerly steps around the body of the zombie.

* Thomas Lazarus considers a few spells, but.. he waits on the reconaissance from the party's arcanist.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi sucks in a breath. &quot;A minotaur zombie, and one other figure.. looks.. intelligent, but undead.&quot; She says very quietly.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Any kind of skillcheck I could make to identify that fellow?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;A.. minotaur? It's huge, I'm guessing?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Quite.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Time to get serious, then.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Armored.&quot; Gnogglebolt adds with a whisper.

* Flint Carthan mutters a few curses.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Indeed. Time to get serious.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He pulls out a vial holy holy water this time.

Miron:<font color="#000000">How does the other one look?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">he mouths the 'ready'? question to everyone, and awaits everyone's nods.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 16 + 11 = 27&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; spellcraft! -5 if its necromancy or illusion, +2 if it's evocation!

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros draws his swords, and nods at Gnogglebolt.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi shakes her head.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Knowledge [1d20+15) Religion on both types of undeads

Miron:<font color="#000000">Knowledge &#171; &#160;1d20+15 = 8 + 15 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Religion on both types of undeads

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt waits, and then takes a moment to also pull out his blunderbuss and lean it on himself at the ready.

TMG:<font color="#000000">you don't have any details, Damna. -3-

TMG:<font color="#000000">How do you expect to identify undead from a one-sentance description with almost no details? :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, it's enough you said it's an undead minotaur

* Thomas Lazarus whispers softly. &quot;I'll rush the minotaur immediately. Pile on the smarter one.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">I don't know what to expect, but i can get at least something

VAE:<font color="#000000">And it's saner than trying to remember *during* the battle, silly

TMG:<font color="#000000">Not really...it could be a zombie, a skeleton, a wight, a deathknight...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">She said it was a minotaur zombie. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">you can't -see- it. All you got was 'undead minotaur'. It could be anything. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">okay, granted.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Indeed.. but then, it's liatai's job to decide what sort of info that'll grant

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi grits her teeth.. &quot;A caster.. they just used a spell that gives them the qualities of the undead.. at least for the fact you won't be able to strike at vital organs and the such..&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You know that zombies are resistant to all but slashing damage.

VAE:<font color="#000000">not likely much, but anything is good when it's before we go in

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Does Tathi's spell have enough time to go peeking behind another door?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks at Tathi, holds up the vuial of holy water, and makes an inquiring face.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, that they are slow and can only take a single action each turn.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Slashing? ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Thought it was bludgeoning. ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">that's skeletons.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The sensor for Clairvoyance is immoble. Nice try, though. x3

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi shakes her head. &quot;Not that undead.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">doh!

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi then steps back a bit, holding her wand, and then nods.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Does Miron relay this info? :B ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt droops his head in disappointment, but puts the vial away and pulls out a yellow, carved stone...

VAE:<font color="#000000">he might.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Because I do have one slashing weapon, but no chance of usingin it without info. ))

* Thomas Lazarus glances to Gnogglebolt.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you open the door for me? I can charge it right away if I'm hands-free.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Usual deal with zombies... you need to cut them apart - the dead flesh takes most of other attacks.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right. If you need a hand with the larger one, give a shout.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks over to Elros, and mouths 'Count'

Miron:<font color="#000000">Think of them like skeletons in thick, soft rotting armour.

* Thomas Lazarus bows his head briefly and makes a few hushed whispers while clutching his blade. He invokes a Divine Favor spell on himself.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">with one hand holding the yellow stone, the blunderbuss leanign against his body,a nd the empty hand reaching for the handle, he awaits Elros' countdown.

* Richter Malino draws a scroll out of his pack, peruses it, then nods, awaiting the count.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron prepares a holy watter bottle himself, to throw inside once door open.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Switch weapons.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Tessen out. :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And after opening door, readied action to 5-foot step and toss thunderstone, like before.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Give me a few shakes, statting a summon.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Alex? You abouts?

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Mm?

Faerie:<font color="#006666">&gt;.&gt;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ah, cool. Once Liatai's ready, Gnogglebolt asked Elros to do the door-breach countdown. :&gt;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm ready now. :3

TMG:<font color="#000000">Okay, there we go...

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elors puts one sword in his other hand, so he can count silently with his hand. He counts down...5...4...3...2...1...fist!

* Richter Malino begins to speak a summoning phrase in Elven, holding the scroll before him, as the countdown begins.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt twists the handle and grabs his blunderbuss.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros puts his sword back in his hand.

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- eh?!&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( I see 12 HD. ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">Thomas charges?

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( And I cry watefalls. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Surprise round go!

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, so THAT is what Ghost was going on about. xD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Righto.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Tom's lip flickers with the briefest curl as he invokes the strength of his bloodline. His pupils emit a dim blue glow, and the templar drops forward into a rushing charge. His sword heaves around from behind him with a whistle. (Using Domain strength + charge. &#171; &#160;1d20+11+1+1 = 4 + 11 + 1 + 1 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d10+10 = 10 + 10 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Minotaur Zombie:<font color="#000000">CHOP!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Readied Action: 5-foot step

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">and CHUCK the stone!

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">PEW PEW! Here comes some magic missiles at Louis! &#171; &#160;2d4+2 = 5 + 2 = 7&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; damage!

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;Urgh!&quot;

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">Roll your attack, Gnogglebolt.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">aiming at....

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">that square, to avoid getting Thomas in the blast.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Which one?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And roll attack versus AC 10.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">47, 3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Ranged Touch Attack! &#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 2 + 5 = 7&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d8 = 3&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

VAE:<font color="#000000">*facepaws*

TMG:<font color="#000000">where does it land?

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Where do you think? ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( It hits tom. ))

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 14 + 7 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Fort! It lands just northwest of Sargano.

* VAE puts on Two Steps from Hell as battle music

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Dang. :B ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">No, not nexessarily. Depends on what square Liatai's starting the counter-clockwise count.

TMG:<font color="#000000">And cool! it didn't hit thomas

TMG:<font color="#000000">...but Sargano made the Fort save, dammit. x_x

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">THUD.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Anyone else got a readied action?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">A loud boom shakes the room!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron

* Louis Sargano growls.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">but Sargano seems unaffected!

VAE:<font color="#000000">throwing a holy water in

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Roll attack, then.

TMG:<font color="#000000">at the minotaur, right?

VAE:<font color="#000000">yup

VAE:<font color="#000000">any modifiers?

TMG:<font color="#000000">cool.

TMG:<font color="#000000">range increment on holy water is...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-8 for distance.

VAE:<font color="#000000">ouch

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Actually, -6.

TMG:<font color="#000000">10 feet

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">We have +1 to hit from bless.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and +1 due to size, right?

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh yes, and the +1

TMG:<font color="#000000">danman; that should already be factored into your attack bonuses, but yes.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Well, the size is in his AC, so don't change your attack for that.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Fortunately.

TMG:<font color="#000000">This thing is Large-sized, so it must have a low touch

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+3+1-6 = 11 + 3 + 1 - 6 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Holy Water Lob

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Unless it's one of those &quot;fast zombies&quot; from the movies. :B *brick'd*

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">Richter raises a hand and shouts the last of the summoning spell, and a pale green portal shimmers on the ground...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d8 = 1&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It...

TMG:<font color="#000000">um

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... it hits Tom.

TMG:<font color="#000000">holy water does 2d4 :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Clack. :|

TMG:<font color="#000000">...oh. xD

TMG:<font color="#000000">what? The minotaur haas a higher touch AC than 9?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tom will be even holier than usual, then :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh wait!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Tom doesn't have time for snarky comments! He's face to face with the deadliest behemoth he's ever stared down!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yeah sorry, roll 2d4. XD

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh! There we go. :&gt;

TMG:<font color="#000000">it -did- hit. Roll damage, danman!

Miron:<font color="#000000">From dust you are and to dust you will return! &#171; &#160;2d4 = 6&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

TMG:<font color="#000000">keeping init, or rolling anew?

Minotaur Zombie:<font color="#000000">The creature sends up a great cloud of steam as the water strikes it (and lightly spatters Tom.)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One moment, need t resolve the summoning spell.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">All current factors place Tom's AC at 20, by the way.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Brb. :o ))

Hippogriff:<font color="#000000">A creature that looks like some cross between a horse and an eagle leaps through the portal, landing on the stone floor with a clatter of hooves and talons.

TMG:<font color="#000000">... I see &quot;VAE is typing&quot;, but it's been like that for at least five minutes now with nothing happening...

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Question~ ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes?

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Is it Louis, as in St. Louis, or Louie? ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">*turns to Sargano* We got them to wear hempen neckties indeed.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Louis pronouced Lew-is. x3

TMG:<font color="#000000">...now I wonder if Danman's lagging.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Because his &quot;VAE is typing&quot; alert was up for waaaaaaaay too long for a line that short.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nah, he said he was being distracted by family and typing up a long thing.

* Faerie returns

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Wb. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Be right back, carry on.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Hello? :o ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron takes out his mace &quot;Saint Cuthbert, you who wields the Cudgel of Justice, infuse my arm with your power so that it may carry out your will&quot; The weapon in Miron's hands begins to glow red and everyone looking feels a wave of courage and confidence. Checkmate's light, lasts 5 turns (i think) starting next/

VAE:<font color="#000000">and sorry for delay

VAE:<font color="#000000">how do you add a radius to a token?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">What I've been doing is selecting the &quot;blast&quot; type area and targeting Tom's token

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Err burst, not blast

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Hey, where the Tomburst go? :o ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">Everyone in the burst gets +1 to saves against fear effects while active

VAE:<font color="#000000">and his weapon is now +1 axiomatic

Minotaur Zombie:<font color="#000000">The zombie hefts a giant greataxe over its head before swinging it down straight for the reckless templar. &#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 10 + 10 = 20&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;3d6+7 = 14 + 7 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; damage... better move fast if you want to keep yourself intact.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Well that thoroughly ruined Tom's day. :B ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">The movement is last action

VAE:<font color="#000000">end turn

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Unfortunately, that's enough to hit.

Modifying the fog-of-war manually without a server running affects only the global exposed area (i.e. the entire map), even if one or more tokens are selected. If you want your changes to apply to individual tokens, start a MapTool server with Individual Fog enabled (you can leave the Alias field empty to make an anonymous server, if you wish). This warning will not appear again for this campaign.

TMG:<font color="#000000">wait, what?!

VAE:<font color="#000000">argh!

TMG:<font color="#000000">His AC is 22!

TMG:<font color="#000000">at -least-!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">He charged.

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh. x_x

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">He charged, doesn't have his shield out, and is in a radius of PfE.

TMG:<font color="#000000">danman, what does checkmate's light do?

VAE:<font color="#000000">*sigh* for some reason the effect doesn't stay with me

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Oh, that's normal.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, you're lucky I forgot something.

TMG:<font color="#000000">and no, it doesn't.

VAE:<font color="#000000">It changes my mace to axiomatic +1 and grants everyone in radius +1 to save on fear effects

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I forgot the bugger's reach. Oh well. Consider it zombie derpiness. =3=

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">You just erase it and place it on the ground anew after you move, when prudent.

TMG:<font color="#000000">when you move, you have to go to edit -&gt; undo drawing

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It never follows.

TMG:<font color="#000000">then redraw it

VAE:<font color="#000000">thanks

VAE:<font color="#000000">basically all the area marked is illuminated, too

* Thomas Lazarus tries to parry the incoming creature's axe - and nearly does, but is still off-balance from his charge. A massive cacophony of metal contacting metal fills the room, with the subdued undertone of crunch and spatter. Tom hisses a cry through his teeth.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile, Miron casts a Cure Moderate Wounds, holding the spell charge in his hand, a sphere of light.

Hippogriff:<font color="#000000">The hippogriff continues to tear at its beefy adversary, clawing at the zombie with both forelegs -- &#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 7 + 6 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;1d4+4 = 4 + 4 = 8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;, &#171;  &#160;1d20+6 = 2 + 6 = 8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;1d4+4 = 3 + 4 = 7&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;, and a bite with the beak for &#171;  &#160;1d20+1 = 9 + 1 = 10&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;1d8+2 = 6 + 2 = 8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;!

Miron:<font color="#000000">He's running on pure adrenaline, just like Thomas. A calm person would have fainted.

Hippogriff:<font color="#000000">Unfortunately, all those attacks are for naught.

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">The spellcaster sidles to the side again, fighting to free his hands from their gooey prison... &#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 2 + 11 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Concentration check!

* Thomas Lazarus manages to catch himself without toppling over, thanks to Richter's bit of healing. He staggers upright, panting and glaring. At this point, there's a ton of blood splashed around Tom's armor and escaping his lips.

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">No dice. He does manage to free them enough to pick up a scythe from the wall, though.

Sszeyl has received initiative.TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, um, I don't think a concentration check is necessary...but oh well

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">He spits a bit of blood to the ground. &quot;--Thanks.. brother..&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">yes

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Yes.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Nope. Doesn't say anything about concentration.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Drawing sling...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">You need to roll a concentration check if you're entangled. Unfortunately, he escaped that to begin with.

TMG:<font color="#000000">wait

TMG:<font color="#000000">Yes, DC 15 concentration xD

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I guess?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">For dear Louis.

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">Thwock.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Or maybe he's entangled and mobile? xD

VAE:<font color="#000000">yeah, he's mobile, has wireless

TMG:<font color="#000000">hatari; he's got the goo all over him, and it's not the same thing as entangled.

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">Will you people tell me if I can cast or not already? :P

* Dr. Hatari backs out of grenade weapons territory. He should learn to stick to what he knows!

TMG:<font color="#000000">The reflex save was to avoid being glued to the floor.

TMG:<font color="#000000">An no! He failed the concentration check

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Hooray.

TMG:<font color="#000000">it is indeed DC15 to cast with the tanglefoot stuff.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Damage, Sszeyl?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Rock 'em, Drow

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Trying to check damage of a sling...but lagged out. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( He's so stoned he's tasting colours. ))

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">&quot;I see now why you were able to bring down the Spindlethorns.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;To be fair, they were stupid enough to keep their big undead locked up. :/&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( As long as he makes no attacks. ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Yes. We can attack that square with wide blind swings, and have a 50% chance of checking his AC.

VAE:<font color="#000000">better to ask than to eff up

VAE:<font color="#000000">Or you can delay after i attempt the dispel on his invisibility

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Huh. Can you targeted dispel a square?

Faerie:<font color="#006666">So...can I take a guess as to where he is by where tathi attacked?

VAE:<font color="#000000">you can targeted dispel a single spell

TMG:<font color="#000000">She marked him with the flaming sphere

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros takes one step, and...attacks the fireball, hoping to hit something! :O &#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 13 + 5 = 18&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187; and &#171;  &#160;1d20+5 = 19 + 5 = 24&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d100 = 66&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d100 = 84&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">His only good rolls. Versus miss chance.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">How tragic.

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">And fortunately for you, and very cinematically might I add... both blades connect!

Faerie:<font color="#006666">...do I want low or high there?

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">Roll damage!

Elros:<font color="#006666">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 18&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187; crit confirm for odd-hand sword

VAE:<font color="#000000">the second might be a crit, no?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Dangerously competent! &gt;:O

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I think he's still buff'd immune to crits.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Whup, no. But &#171; &#160;1d8+4 = 1 + 4 = 5&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187; and &#171;  &#160;1d8+1 = 3 + 1 = 4&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187; damage

TMG:<font color="#000000">You do add normal bonuses to confirm rolls

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait.. why didn't yo. . aj

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, right, but he's immune to crits

VAE:<font color="#000000">is he? he isn't undead

TMG:<font color="#000000">No, he's not undead.

VAE:<font color="#000000">nor a construct

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">You feel a heavy weight against your swords... and then there's a thump and a clatter. A pool of blood begins to spread across the floor.

TMG:<font color="#000000">He's using a spell that makes him look undead and gives him crit immunity

TMG:<font color="#000000">Awwwww.

VAE:<font color="#000000">ah

TMG:<font color="#000000">And I was gonna Blunderbuss him. xD

Elros:<font color="#006666">He presumably takes 9 damage though. And apparently bleeding. Just saying, guys.

TMG:<font color="#000000">&quot;Garl I love not needing to see where I'm shooting.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Is he down?

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">back! vae, pay attention!

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...how is he still invisible if he's bleeding. Mysterious things.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's stupid magic. Don't question it, just take advantage of it!&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I don't know, but if you want to question him at all, you may want to move your sphere, Tathi. :B

<font color="#0000ff">Meany is disconnected.

<font color="#0000ff">Meany is disconnected.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Combat over!

Miron:<font color="#000000">Someone pull him outta the fire

VAE:<font color="#000000">what do i need to pull the necromancer out? Str check?

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Stop being silly.&quot; Tathi says, dismissing the fireball.

* Thomas Lazarus glances over. Miron and the others are on top of things. His duty is done.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Dispel Magic against the invisibility?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt stands around the growing pool of blood from no visible source.

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">The spell flickers and fades before you can cast... eugh. He doesn't look much better when he -isn't- undead-ified.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Tom teeters and CLANKS against the wall, then uses it to slowly slide down. He sits on the stone floor with a thump and lets out a long breath.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+5+10 = 18 + 5 + 10 = 33&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; against DC 11+his caster level

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Job's not over yet. We have the rest of the rooms to chevk.

<font color="#0000ff">Meany has connected.

Miron:<font color="#000000">And Cuthbert's light reveals those who hide in the darkness of sin.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Meany; Sargano's down, and is now visible.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Save your spell, Miron. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">Now someone tie him up, and make sure he doesn't die

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It faded before you cast. Its duration ran out.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do we....really care if he dies? Flint, richter?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">We need to get him off to the City Watch stat.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is your standard procedure here?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">He's a high up, dummy. He might have valuable information.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we can.. and we can.. we can benefit from him as a prisoner.&quot; Thomas breathes.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Or rather.. the people he would hurt, can.&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;If he is the head of this cabal, he'd be worth questioning.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;How do you know he's a high up? For all we know, we've bagged some lowly acolyte.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Richter, patch him up a bit before he bleeds out.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 13 + 8 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Heal check.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">brb, turning steak

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's certainly not the head of the Blackskulls. A decent source told me the ringleader's a vampire.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Tathi, would you *really* want to make a mistake in the wrong direction?

* Thomas Lazarus draws his wand off his belt and applies a long, slow steam of healing energy to himself.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;4d8+4 = 25 + 4 = 29&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But he does seem higher up the food chain than the spindlethorns. He may be a cabinet member.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">He'll be hanged anyways. At least the proper legal procedures are observed.

Meany:<font color="#666666">x-x

Meany:<font color="#666666">Lag.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt nods as Richter sets to work with bandages, and seems to staunch the bleeding.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Besides ,getting him alive might provide valuable evidence against more of his family.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, I suppose you have that covered.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">If he kill him..a lot of things can be claimed about a corpse

Miron:<font color="#000000">They.. aren't poor, after all.

TMG:<font color="#000000">also; hold for meany.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">A little more. Heck, it's cheap. &#171; &#160;2d8+2 = 11 + 2 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">back!

* Richter Malino finishes bandaging the man's wounds, but then looks over at Miron. &quot;... but I won't be healing a heretic any farther until my brothers are cared for.&quot; He draws out the wand again. &quot;Hold still, Brother Miron.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">I don't ask you to, Richter.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;I, frankly, could not care less. KIll him, kill the others, kill all of them, it really is just that simple.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">He just needs enough to survive.. Either way, our job here is the most important thing.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d8+1+1d8+1+1d8+1+1d8+1 = 7 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 8 + 1 = 27&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

* Thomas Lazarus sheathes the wand and staggers back to his feet.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Seeing that the others have the man handled, Gnogglebolt goes over to the door nd listens intently. Taking 20, 20+2=22

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d8+1 = 5 + 1 = 6&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; more healing for you, Miron.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Please pause.

TMG:<font color="#000000">pausing.

Miron:<font color="#000000">And i won't allow you to do the same you did with the druidess, Tathi. *frowns*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Oops.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*the ugly wound on his right shoulder seals* Thank you, brother Richter.

TMG:<font color="#000000">danman! Pause it.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I had to finish off the HP restore

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Back. ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">cool

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 1 + 5 = 6&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Listen check!

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right, who's good with rope?&quot; Flint cleans his blades with a cloth, then scruffs Smoke's head. &quot;You did good, boy.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">you listen to your heartbeat

Smoke:<font color="#000000">:D

TMG:<font color="#000000">you can take 20, meany.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well.. if you don't mind, then please pardon while we take a prisoner, Tathi.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nothing heard from either of your doors.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;I've been known to tie a knot.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">He.. actually did *nods* I saw him dealing with the ghouls.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nothing detectable over there...&quot; Gnogglebolt nod at Sszeyl, trusting he has that one covered.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He goes over to the third door. Same song, different verse.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fourth verse, same as the first.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">brb, dinner time!

* Thomas Lazarus chuckles a bit. &quot;Well.. I have practice. I'll see if I can help you.&quot; Thomas returns his blade to its scabbard and threads his shield over it.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Le open door. :U

* Thomas Lazarus rolls to assist Elros. &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 12 + 1 = 13&#160;  &#187;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Oh, and sometime in the meantime, Miron's mace stopped glowing.

Miron:<font color="#000000">''Pity i didn't get to try it out.... ''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt frowns over by the third door.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros um...takes 20+7 from use rope?

Elros:<font color="#006666">Or do I have to roll?

Louis Sargano:<font color="#000000">The man is well and truly bound fast.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;gnogglebolt moves back, and notices Sszeyl. &quot;Hey!&quot; He hisses.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Le search.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl! One door at a time, and with everyone! You can't be sure what's behind it, remember the Spindlethorn hideout.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">This room contains 1,600 GP, a small silver mirror, a delicate white china goblet with golden ivy leaves climbing its stem, a leather cord with three orange citrine beads strung on it, and a ring with a piece of polished agate set in it. There are also a wide variety of simple clothes in varying states of repair, and five vials. One contains a golden liquid that looks like honey, one contains a translucent grey liquid, another holds a carbonated liquid that looks very much like ginger ale, yet another contains a teal liquid with a very low viscosity, and the last is a familiar light blue, transparent liquid.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">back! meat is simmerin'

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I heard something over here!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">After the knots are tied, Thomas glances to Sszeyl. He simply shakes his head. There are no combat sounds, so the ultimate reckless Drow got lucky.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Hrmm.. gnogglebolt, you're an alchemist, right? Might need you to take a look at these vials..&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Relax, Gnogglebolt. :/&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances to Richter. &quot;What in the world is that beast you called to help us, anyway?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;This is a sleeping quarter.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't want to take any chances. If Sargano there's ready to keep, please get over here folks, just in case!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I heard something, want to check it.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sighs and stands. He glances to Sargano.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Richter, stay with the prisoner for a while.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, that? That was a hippogriff. A spell learned from a druid I met some time ago.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt pulls out a flask of green fluid. &quot;Just in case...go in when ready.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus picks the Necromancer up by one of his ropes. Does the fellow weigh a lot?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Le open door. :U

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">You should probably not ignore the party and run around trying to aggro things, yo.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oof! A fair bit.

TMG:<font color="#000000">hatari; Gnogglebolt called this one.

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, he looks kinda skinny

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I should probably read twice before calling people out. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">About 190 pounds, all told. He's wearing some hefty armor under those robes.

* Thomas Lazarus frowns at the unexpected heft!

Elros:<font color="#006666">Elros wonders if we could get the armor off of him before carrying him. &gt;.&gt;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 2 + 5 = 7&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Spot check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Le Search.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt tries to peer around the door, flask of green fluid in a cocked back arm ready to throw.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Will someone get over here with a light?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Dancing Lights!

Miron:<font color="#000000">*pulls out everburning torch*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nothing in this chest.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Everywhere.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, well..&quot; Thomas notes the others departure. Sargano isn't going anywhere.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know I heard something in here....&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thank you.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And it sounded like a bone.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Le Search.

* Richter Malino chuckles.

* Thomas Lazarus sets him back where he was and waits.

Skeleton 1:<font color="#000000">RAWR!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Here they are.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shredded gears!&quot; Gnogglebolt cries out Flask toss!

Skeleton 1:<font color="#000000">Two skeletons leap out of this chest, waving scimitars at the drow! &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 3 + 1 = 4&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; and &#171;  &#160;1d20+1 = 13 + 1 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">at numero uno skelly.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;Oi! Do you need help in there?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Second hits.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET.

Skeleton 2:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d6+1 = 1 + 1 = 2&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Not just yet.&quot;

Skeleton 1:<font color="#000000">Its bones start to hiss and bubble.

VAE:<font color="#000000">(for those with no idea, that's a line used to mock creepypasta that's bad written and fails to deliver)

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Omnomnom? :O

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">back!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt hefts his blunderbuss.

* Smoke picks up a bone and wags his tail. :D

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry about that, Sszeyl...&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Smoke, put that back, it doesn't belong to you.&quot;

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Aw.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's check the rest of them -right.&quot; Open one, then stand back immewdiately.

* Thomas Lazarus calls out with a frown, &quot;What was all that?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;There we go.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There are no more skeletons in the chests. x3

Miron:<font color="#000000">Just some skeletons in the closet .. i mean chest.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Please pause. ))

GM:<font color="#000000">The chests in this room hold 3000 gold pieces, a straight wooden wand painted black with white tips, a soft blue-grey hooded cloak, a brilliant blue sapphire, a chunk of moss agate, a rock crystal prism, a round white opal, a slice of watermelon tourmaline, six filled waterskins, and 36 days' worth of trail rations.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just a couple bones that did't stop moving when they oughta.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus speaks at regular volume. &quot;Figures. We all have them.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Please pause. ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">Pausing.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Pausing.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi's eyebrows raise as she observes the wand. She picks it up and gives it a look over.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">paused.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Lagstorm over. :U ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's a wand, all right.

* Sszeyl hefts all the loot sans stick into a chest, and loads it out to the main room.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Room recorded.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Repeats with first room.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyone hurt?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Nope. :.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Not really... Trevor could take the two skeletons there out.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Stand back.&quot; Tathi says simply, pointing the wand at the southern wall, and then attempting to activate it!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Heal! &#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 2 + 8 = 10&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;I am, surprisingly, alive.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Hmmmm, well, alright.

Elros:<font color="#006666">Considering he took, what, several AoOs? Not too shabby.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Heal! ? Reminds me of Jesus He Knows Me

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Oh boy. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">One sec.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Prepares the holy water bottle

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;We haven't all day.&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">just hold on

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What's Tathi's alignment? CG?

TMG:<font color="#000000">let the game interface catch up with the user input

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">correct!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">A golden monkey appears.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">to identify that spell!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Miron, I wonder if your insecurities are due to an inability to help your people when it mattered, and so you're compensating by trying to help when it no longer does. :T&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Jeeze, why don't you just throw a dagger at him.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;I prefer to keep verbal debates verbal.&quot;

Golden Monkey:<font color="#000000">Summon Monster I, as you can tell by the monkey's sudden disappearance. &quot;Ook?&quot; Poof.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*goes rather pale and then red*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just calm down everyone.&quot; Gnogglebolt sighs.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also, um.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;people with the sacks?&quot; Gnogglebolt asks those who have been gathering up valuables.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*GLARE* at the drow, but holds his composition

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Was...&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Was that a monkey?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">now if only there was a way to figure out how many charges it has left. XP

* Thomas Lazarus blinks over. He hadn't been looking.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..Seriously?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi smirks, putting the wand away for now. &quot;Yes, there was. I have yet another tool in my arsenel.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Looks like that monkey bit the proverbial weasel.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">brb, gettin MOAR dinner. MERICA.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could have sworn I saw a golden monkey...&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Oh! A summoning spell?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">=3=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt goes over to look at one of the sacks Sszeyl filled.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Before we start taking everyhting shiny that isn't bolted down, I'd like to check something...&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I've been assuming the loot is dumped into the party's bag of holding, for transport necessity.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I've been recording it that way regardless.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">On the &quot;loot mule&quot; file.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( I've been loading it into chests. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( The ones provided. :# ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">:3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He starts looking through some of the coins and gems that were taken, and despite them being disturbed, he tries to guage how much dust they have on them, and now archaic in workmanship and design they seem.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It's in our possession is all I give a damn about, and won't hear otherwise. ;)

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">back

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Also, does anyone search the necromancer?

Miron:<font color="#000000">*still glaring at drow*

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Yes, the first tier summoning spell, it seems. This could get interesting.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">They're all fairly modern. And not in the least bit dusty.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">So, GM, as per the Q, are they fresh?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Excellent.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, nevermind, everything's good.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Le search zombie and Necromonger.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He drops the gems and coins back in the bag.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">You get 2 x MINOTAUR STEAK

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( But it's rotted. :. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The zombie has a Large greataxe, and the necromancer has a well-made scythe, well-made breastplate armor, a silver unholy symbol of Nerull, five Blackskull masks, and five scrolls.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">I cast 'fuckitimawizard'.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Scrolls.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right then, after Sargao's relieved of anything dangerous on his person, there's one last door to check when everyone is prepared...&quot;

* Sszeyl holds them up.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi perks up. &quot;Scrolls?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*as Drow passes by* when it mattered my people died due to your kind. And i'll do all i can so it doesn't happen again

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Scrolls.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">of course that was said silently.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; Flint looks at Miron, then sheathes his sword and dagger. &quot;I'll look at them. I can read magic.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Loot recorded.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Was that out loud--right.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Danmna, PLEASE start using quotation marks. xP

VAE:<font color="#000000">as i said - as the drow passed by

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Yes Miron.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Mattered. Died. All past tense.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">i tend to use stars for actions.. i know, i am inconsistent *headdesks*

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;The past is done, let it go and move on. :/&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I have to run to dinner. &gt;.&gt;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Back to the door.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Seeya! ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">no problem, alex

Faerie:<font color="#006666">As before, I'll lock scroll so I don't miss anything.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">I have to leave soon myself...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl apparently couldn't hear any of that.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, when everyone's ready, let's check this last door.

VAE:<font color="#000000">ouch... i meant quietly

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's okay. If Sszeyl gives Flint the scrolls, there'll be a break.

VAE:<font color="#000000">bloody english

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Oh. x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt fishes out another flask of green fluid, and holds it at the ready just in case.

VAE:<font color="#000000">quiet, silent.. why are there two words which both mean the same thing and not

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Divided between Tathi and Flint. :U ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Sorry. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB.

TMG:<font color="#000000">uhoh. o.o

* Flint Carthan mutters to himself, and his pupils briefly glow blue. &quot;... Right, they're all prayer scrolls. We've got five.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&#171; &#160;1d20+6 = 4 + 6 = 10&#160; <font color="#6600CC">&#187; decipher script to figure out what the hey ho all this writing is on about..

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Wb. :. ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">Lemme see.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Prayer scrolls.. well. We've a pair of archivists with us. I suppose that's that.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">i was gone???

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Lia was. :B ))

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;First one is a druidic spell that makes healing berries, best as I can tell; a spell for detetcting the undead; and a spell that makes it harder for ranged attacks to hit.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Detecting undead.. that sounds useful.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Second one... a ward that lets you take damage in the place of another person, a spell that fixes broken things, and... well hello, this is useful. Flying spell that grants you wings.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Reminds me.. i gotta find the one detecting magical energy in our library.. seems like the page in my book where i scribbled it just fell out some day.

* Thomas Lazarus raises a brow. &quot;Wings? How strange that must be.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">the only plausible explanation that he doesn't have detect magic orison - player's an idiot

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Miron is more the witchcraft trial sort of guy anyways.

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Third one, a spell for rescuing drowning victims by bringing them to the surface, a summoning spell, and a necromancer's spell that makes you look and act even more like an undead than Sargano. Supposed to make it impossible for undead to tell you're not undead.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Is he reading off the scolls Tathi has too?

VAE:<font color="#000000">haha, he is, Hatari. If they ever get to uncover a conspiracy, Miron is SO taking the Church Inquisitor prestige class :3

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fourth one has a protection spell on it against law... makes sense. An alarm spell, and another Detect Undead.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yes, since she didn't ID them.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Tessen is put away.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Hmm, a lot of that sounds useful.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Out come the nunchuku.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Hrm.. I won't be able to use anything related to necromancy.. Which ones were divine and which ones are arcane?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Eh, Richter?

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Last one is a fortune-telling spell... augury, I think it's called. A spell to calm animals, and a spell that fills your lungs with fresh air no matter where you are.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;All of 'em are divine.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Blast.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway...So, with those magic papers read, shall we check this las room?&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">The glow fades, and the inquisitor sets the scrolls down. &quot;Whew. And that's my reading magic for the day. Runes give me a headache.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">I think the wings might be useful to get to the high shelves of our library *laughs*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could probably petition Pelor for any of those blessings, were I inclined. Although the wings one, I would never have thought to ask for. Miron, Richter, help yourselves.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Let's.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rolls his neck with a soft crack and bounces a little.

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, brother? Which ones do you want to hold onto? I'll hold onto the rest until we can get to the surface and sort them properly.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus draws his blade and shield.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt raises the flask of green liquid.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Nunchuku spinning.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright. Gonna breach.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Miron raises remaining holy water.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Someone stay with the prisoner. :U&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;What're we doing with crooked an' ugly over there?&quot; Flint jabs a thumb toward the necromancer.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Richter is doing that.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;He is to be taken to the Watch, it seems. Now, for breaching. :U&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">When everyone atleast looks ready, Thomas rears back and gives the center of the doors a steady shove with one of his greaves.

Miron:<font color="#000000">We're dropping him off to the city watch, and calling the palm. Then i gues swe'll have a nice talk with him later.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Strength check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">To assist.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Is the door resistant to opening, or shall I indeed roll strength?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Or.. not.. resistant.. &gt;.&gt;

* Dr. Hatari English fails. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... whuh-oh. Am I lagging, or is it just quiet?

VAE:<font color="#000000">lagging

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Crap. :42

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Last I saw was * Thomas Lazarus rolls his neck with a soft crack and bounces a little.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Buggering hell. :42

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ohnoes.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Hopefully it's real lag and not ... the tide.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">BAH DUM DUM DAH DUUMMMMMM

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( *crosses fingers* :c ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">... ... ... HUUUUUGHESNEEEEET! *fist* &gt;:O

VAE:<font color="#000000">this sounds suspicious

* Dr. Hatari goes afk.

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Hughesnet must die. We shall strike at dawn. &gt;:O

VAE:<font color="#000000">Why should we strike at her?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... eeeeeyup, I'm lagged.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( :48 ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl: Nunchuku spinning.(:48)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Might as well tell you now what I was going to tell you after the Force Palm...

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( :. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">yep

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Miron.... the minotaur had 1 HP left. ^^;;;

VAE:<font color="#000000">bwahahahaha

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Oh well. x3

VAE:<font color="#000000">i *knew* that my crit was gonna be fishy

VAE:<font color="#000000">because i *don't* both crit and do good damage

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Kamehameha overkills are never overkills.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">TAKE THAT, MOON.

VAE:<font color="#000000">What's Kamemameha?

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( X3 :50 ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">my gods, someone blessed enough to not know the crap that is DBZ. :50

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Whatever. You know you love the adbridged. :B

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Kamehameha was a Hawaiian king. ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">It makes DBZ bearable

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Known for his powerful energy blasts. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( And destruction of Earth's Satellites. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Unfortunately, not Hughesnet's. ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">To answer your question VAE, it's the name of the most iconic energy build-up ranged attack from the anime dragon ball Z.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE: What's Kamemameha? (:53)

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( :DDD ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">OH! SHe's catching up! :53

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( :53~ ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Yay!! ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;What she needs is a little wink wink, nudge nudge *whistle*&quot; &quot;Still five.&quot; &quot;Yeah.&quot; :53

* Faerie returns, to overheating computer.

Meany:<font color="#666666">&quot;Ohohoho. I don't get upset. I have people to do that for me. Dodoria?&quot; &quot;With gusto.&quot; :54

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am? ... Well, I suppose. But don't go too far and leave me here.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Don't worry.. who'd help me with the books if we let something eat you? *laughs*

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( :D Wb! ))

GM:<font color="#000000">The room beyond looks like some great meeting hall, or perhaps a ballroom or eating hall.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl: (( :D Wb! ))(:55)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Up to date. Let's roll.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Current! :D :55! ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Okay, I don't like how big this room is...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Oh, how delightful..&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks around.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..It's empty, though..&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Dammit

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Guys

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 20 + 5 = 25&#160; <font color="#666666">&#187; Listen check!

GM:<font color="#000000">An altar identical to the one you saw on the surface sits on the far end of the room, as well as a door bearing the Sargano family crest.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps our friend intended to come here and conjure something.&quot;

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I have to turn off and cool down.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( yes? D: ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( D: ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...what are those slab doors around the sides?&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh no!

TMG:<font color="#000000">Ah, well

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Seeya! ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">actually, real quick, alex!

Faerie:<font color="#006666">I'm only getting 12.5% clock right now, and it's unusable.

<font color="#0000ff">Faerie is disconnected.

TMG:<font color="#000000">In that case, would Elros be okay with guarding Sargano?

Miron:<font color="#000000">And this is why i am suspicious of the whole bloody family.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Dangit1

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Guess so. :B

* Thomas Lazarus starts.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh! Cast one of those spell that detect undead.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt steps into the large hallway gingerly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">You just *don't* build places like this with good intent.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Contact.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yes! Excellent idea.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey! Good idea!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Careful, you lot!

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brother Miron, do you have one of those scrolls?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">wait

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;All of the doors have something behind them. :&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">does the spell dissipate after being cast?

* Thomas Lazarus blinks at Sszeyl, and looks around quickly.

VAE:<font color="#000000">or does it take up a spell slot?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">From the scroll? Yes, it fades from the scroll.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;I can hear them. :U&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">how do scrolls work

TMG:<font color="#000000">if you mean it vanishes from the scroll, yes.

VAE:<font color="#000000">hmm, there are two of them?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... may be lagging again.

TMG:<font color="#000000">and there are two anyway.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Yes. :o ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">kewl

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">We have 2 of them on the scrolls, anyways.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( D: :58 ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">Hand it to me, Flint

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:58

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Sweet. ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">Best try it out before a buy *laughs*

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, whew, nolag

<font color="#0000ff">Faerie has connected.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Wb. :o ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">oh, alex! To be sure

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( We're being gang attacked. ))

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">Flint hands you a scroll; Detect Undead, Alarm, Protection from Law.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I expect a little lag to be off-and-on from now till AM. Let's try to do what we can. :/

TMG:<font color="#000000">is Elros okay with guarding Sargano if you've gotta be away to give your comp a chance to cool down?

Faerie:<font color="#006666">Ah, negative, I'm back.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh. Okay then. :o

Faerie:<font color="#006666">My computer apparently decided to behave itself.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">We could give Richter the animals. :B

TMG:<font color="#000000">hang on, whispering you what you missed, then.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Casts Read Magic* and attempts to peruse the first spell on the scroll.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay. Once Miron's cast that undead-detecting spell, let's do this right. One door at a time, nice and easy.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">They've been ID'd, I don't think you need Read Magic.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Cast eeeeeeet~ ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">what do you need to cast it?

* Thomas Lazarus furrows his brow. &quot;They.. look tricky.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Never cast from scrolls before.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">If it's on your spell list, you may automatically cast from the scroll with no check or any kind.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And if opening one door disturbes them all, retreat to the room we just came from to bottleneck any nasties.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">As long as the caster level isn't over your level.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Take 'em on one by one.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">if they aren't? As in, if i don't know the spell?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">It's on your spell list. In this case, any divine spell. It doesn't have to be literally in your prayerbook.

TMG:<font color="#000000">does the spell appear on your spell list?

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( He means if it's on your class spell list. ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">*Intones the prayer from the scroll, letters slowly fading as he pronounces each syllable*

VAE:<font color="#000000">It does

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's a cleric spell, so yes.

TMG:<font color="#000000">As in, your class list, the ones you -can- learn from?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Tathi could cast a scroll of lightning bolt, for example.

VAE:<font color="#000000">An archivist has *all* divine spell lists

TMG:<font color="#000000">If so, you can cast it, despite not -actually- knowing the spell.

Liatai whispers: There are two undead behind each of the slab doors, but none beyond the far door that you can detect.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( It has been cast~ Now for results. =3= ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">Hmm, that's a cartful.

* Thomas Lazarus frowns.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The air in this room smells heavily of perfume, for those who didn't click the door.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Those slabs.. there are two undead behind each. The main door seems clean.. well, clean of undead.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you tell how strong they are, perchance?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances over his shoulder to Tathi. &quot;We may need your help, if they all come at once. I hope you've got that big spell you're always threatening everything with.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">gonna have to leave in 25 minutes. x.x

Miron:<font color="#000000">And i'd bet my prayerbook that it's some sort of a warning system, like the Alarm of that Diabolist.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( This looks like a good leaving point. :U ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt, this isn't magic.. it can tell only so much.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... you do realize that the Alarm was Edaric's? :B

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Except...it -is- magic. x3 ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gives miron the Flattest. Look. Ever.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Well, it technically is, but it's no less specific than your contraptions.

* Dr. Hatari larfs.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Oreo cookie face. :U ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">Butyes. Good leave-off point, I suppose. x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">XD

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;You get the idea.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">indeed - a good leaving point.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">..Is it?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aw, no one's going to step farther into the room and investigate?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I don't follow what you mean.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Not with lag, our blaster leaving. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You know you want toooo~ :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">i do want to

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">The lag subsided though.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's just ghost's leaving

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">And Ghost has a half hour.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ah

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">And he leaves all the time anyways. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">Careful, everyone

Liatai:<font color="#000000">This won't take half an hour, if we don't lollygag. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">There might be a trigger, as i said, magical or physical.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Okay, okay. xD

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( I am presently laggin. ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">We *really* don't want this to open up at the wrong time.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright. Let's go. Tathi, standby. Everyone else, let's take down these door.s One at a time.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus huffs lightly. &quot;Well, without Barbarus, we have exactly one way to find out.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">crap, afk one sec

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt holds up his blunderbuss. &quot;Actually, Sszeyl, let me take point.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Ready to force open le door. :U

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or, open the door, then get out of the way&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;The second option. :3&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well. Everyone ready?&quot; Gnogglebolt asks the others.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;This door appears stuck.&quot;

* Flint Carthan treads cautiously forward, weapons drawn.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You can try to force it with a Strength check... but it's DC 30. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">o-O

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( We have...no other way to open it. :B ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">We would need to roll well and have almost everyone here assist.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everyone great ready to take out whatever comes out of this door, -if- it survives my blunderbuss, but keep an eye on the others. Any of them start opening, everyone back into the other room to create a bottleneck.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Heavy stone door, no handholds... and something that Gnogglebolt might be able to discover if he rolls the right way.

Miron: <font color="#0">(( Me assisting? *really* ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">ololol

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Wait. Hold on.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt takes a second look at the door.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...No handles. No visible way of opening it at all...and it appears stuck. Sszeyl, move for a second.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus frowns. &quot;I'll bet one of these tiles on the floor, or a device near that altar, opens all of them.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">But that's just what we don't want

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt starts looking up and down the door, through the cracks, and gently knocks on differetn parts to listen to it. Knowledge Architecture and Engineering: &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 14 + 12 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wouldn't surprise me. What's the betting it's the switch that opens the far door, too.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Is that red speck actually there? ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">Say what... Gnogglebolt.. can you somehow *jam* them?

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Or is it a textile fault? :B ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">You are a technical expert, after all.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's a texture fault.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Quite for a minute...&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There's some kind of locking mechanism in place here... heavy steel rods that seem to run through the walls and through the doors.

Miron:<font color="#000000">All that we need is a delay, so that we don't have to fight everyone at the same time.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">After a few minutes, Gnogglebolt seems sure of something. &quot;Well, that's interesting.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Even ten minutes would be valuable.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Juding by the glimpses I can get through the cracks, and the sound of the echos, there's heavy metal bars going -through- these doors.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">May be lagging.

TMG:<font color="#000000">:15 response to lag query

* Thomas Lazarus sighs. &quot;..If I had left myself some dynamic mana.. I could prepare a spell to open these walls like a curtain. I suppose that's one of my lessons for today.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Don't give it your all fighting the ten foot undead and it's master because you might need to open a door later/ :B&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sweatdrops. =3=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yep, lagging.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't worry, Thomas. If these doors are meant to open, there will be a way around here to do it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;..In my defense, a lot of good that ward did. ^^;&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">crap. Pausing.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Miron: Even ten minutes would be valuable. (:18)

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( :18 ))

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">Mayyybe this is an okay spot to leave off on afterall. =3=;;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Thomas Lazarus: Mayyybe this is an okay spot to leave off on afterall. =3=;; (:21)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Oh. Spoke too soon. :21

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">That was quick.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( :U ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let's keep going!

TMG:<font color="#000000">wootz, Liatai's back

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">are we anywhere near closing?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well.. do I dare approach the altar?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course, there's the question of whether we -want- these doors to be opened at all.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">And i say once again we don't

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But best to just figure out how to do so, just in case.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll go with you if you do, Brother Tom.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Not telling what's behind the front door, there's probably around 16 undead behind them in total.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Even skeletons or zombies at such numbers begin to spell trouble.

* Thomas Lazarus shrugs. &quot;It's inevitable. We don't have a more cautious option, do we?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus makes a point of walking along the larger tiles, and approaches the altar.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, Thomas is well-armored and the toughest of us all, so if there -are- any nasty traps near the altar, he's mostly likely to be able to take it..but anyone who can heal should stay right behind him and be ready to patch him up if something bad -does- happen.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances around.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt trails a little bit behind after Thomas traverses a path with nothing jumping out at him.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Seems no catastrophe.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good news so far...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And, if there is any way to open those doors, I'll bet it has something to do with this altar.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus glances at the great doors. No handles, and held fast.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Lagging again. ))

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Miron! Hi. :D

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">taking 20 on a search! 20+4=24

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">searching the altar for anything unusual, or isn't simply part of a big slab of carved stone.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Would you.. er,..mind keeping closer to the undead and further from me?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">(We won't fault you if you have to run, Ghost. You know us. We could end up dicking around and chatting for hours. ^^;)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There's a switch in exactly the same place there was on the first altar. However, this one looks new.

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Ghost, weshould be close. ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">You are a good Mace dog... but better keep distance, eh?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Interesting.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus raises his brows.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have an idea.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*bit less afraid than before, but still a sweatdrop*

Smoke:<font color="#000000">You're talking to me, that means you must want to pet me, right? :D

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Another switch, just like on the first altar. Except...this one seems newer.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus draws the vial of holy water from his belt, then uncorks the lid.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; 'Course, there being only one switch probably means if it does open the doors, it will open them all...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus bows his head in a muttering prayer, and initiates a Consecration spell.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Clever!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Before messing with that, though...&quot; Gnogglebolt goes to the door that Flint's at, and listens intently. Taking 20 for Listen; 20+2=22

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/consecrate.htm

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Silent beyond... except for the slight meowing of a cat?

Smoke:<font color="#000000">Cat?! :O

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...There's a cat in there...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*still holding the Cure Moderate Wounds charge from last battle*

Miron:<font color="#000000">A cat?

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;A... cat?&quot;

Ezer:<font color="#006666">Bretheren! :O

* Thomas Lazarus splashes a bit of the holy water around himself, and the whole area around the altar seems a bit more at peace, for now.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't know of many other animals that make a 'meow' sound.&quot;

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... What the hell is a cat doing in a crypt behind a locked door?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Is it wearing a hat?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">Why I move? :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah well. Feline investigations anre not particularly urgent. For now...oh, what's that you've done, Thomas?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh, thought you were lagged. ^^;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Not for a minute, or so. ^^;; Thanks, though. :o ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">Hmm... but what if they come out after Richter?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;If the undead come pouring out.. let them walk on this consecrated ground. I saved the last of my ability to turn undead. If I do it here.. they won't stand a chance. Undead will find themselves weaker here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;See, little Miron? No trouble entering this magic circle thing.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">We should make sure none get through the other door. There's an important prisoner, too.

* Thomas Lazarus adds. &quot;..If it comes to that.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Well, now I wish you hadn't done that yet, Thomas my friend. ^^; &quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">Thank you for thinking of me. Sitting here with a cat, a creepy dude, and a roast cow-man. =3=

* Thomas Lazarus juts a thumb at the slab doors.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was about to say my plan. It's very likely that the switch on this altar will open all the doors.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's a precaution I'd rather not do with in the thick of a disaster.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#000000">This is now an altar devoted to Teeny Rin.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So what I was planning was for the fastst of us to stay here near the switch while the rest of us go to the doorway&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then the fast-runner pulls the switch, and runs to our waiting arms.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;At the doorway, we could have controlled a bottleneck.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Indeed... but as a lot of plans, it went down the crapper.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">May be lagging. Position yourselves as you will. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But, might as well not let it go to waste...&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( I vote for end of game. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt: &quot;At the doorway, we could have controlled a bottleneck.&quot; (:33)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Melle fighters, stand in front of the altar. Ranged weapons, behind the altar.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Brother Thomas is a brave and capable man.. but he needs to be more.. thoughtful.

* Thomas Lazarus puts his hands on his hips and huffs.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;It'll work.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now, there's no need for that, Miron.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( :34 ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:34

TMG:<font color="#000000">replying to you 34, meany

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( :D ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm current, it seems. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">Only by putting mistakes to light can one learn from them.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi, come on behind the altar, and prepare that blasting magic you're so fond of slinging about?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Unles they're yours. &gt;&gt;&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*glares at drow*

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sail, get over here and join us on the front lines, will you?&quot; Ooops. Looks like Flint's naming curse is back.

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">0&quot;3

TMG:<font color="#000000">(and elros and sszeyl move into position?)

VAE:<font color="#000000">man, one'd think those two are married.

VAE:<font color="#000000">they snipe at each other all the time

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;.... no, your name's not Sail, that'd be ridiculous...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus calls down the hall. &quot;Richter, on guard. We're about to do something that could stir up the hornet's nest.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Sail or a knot?

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Flee with the gold if you need too! :U&quot;

Richter Malino:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right, be careful. I'll prepare a spell in case it's needed.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Make sure they don't go through, Richter!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Once everyone's ready, Gnogglebolt lays out a few alchemical items on top of the altar in easy, immediate reach (free action to pick up?) as he leans over the altar and braces his crossbow.

TMG:<font color="#000000">(move Tathi behind the latar?)

Sszeyl: <font color="#666666">(( Once again, vote for calling the game for tonight. :O ))

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I vote no.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh come on, just a bit farther.

* VAE imagines Gnogglebolt as the guy with Conan, preparing the arrows

VAE:<font color="#000000">Remember, the fight scene where he kills Thorgrim and Rexxar in the ruins?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">With crossbow braced, Gnogglebolt asks if everyone's ready, reachi his spare hand towards the switch.

GM:<font color="#000000">As you depress the switch, you hear a quiet *k-chunk.* For about five seconds, there is silence... and then the creaking and clinking of chains overhead can be heard.

GM:<font color="#000000">A panel in the ceiling slides open as the sound of the chains grows louder, accompanied by the sound of sliding stone. From the blackened chamber above descends... a delicate silver chandelier, complete with fresh candles. Strings of crystal glass hang from the arms of the chandelier, and as you watch, faint blue lights begin to glow within the gem-like prisms, and the chandelier slowly starts to turn on its chain.

GM:<font color="#000000">One by one, the eight candles light, and an eerie, tinkling music begins to fill the room. The eight doors on the northern and southern walls of the room silently slide open, revealing two pairs of hollow red glowing eyesockets behind each of them.

GM:<font color="#000000">Roll initiative... or not, since the zombies seem to not even register your presence. Instead, they shamble out into the light, holding hands in pairs; they are all garbed in fashionable evening wear of high quality, like nobles heading to the ball. They take positions on the floor, then proceed to... make a shamblingly passable attempt at a sort of slow dance. The music continues to play softly, and as the candles burn, the smell of incense and perfume fills the chamber even more strongly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">What in Cuthbert's name?

* Thomas Lazarus prepares to ...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Liatai, you played Alone in the Dark, eh?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">'Fire at---what the devil?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus pauses and observes with a surprised look.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi stares....

Flint Carthan:<font color="#000000">&quot;......... the hell? ...&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus lowers his hand slowly.

* Richter Malino stares.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's.. kind of.. sad.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi sighs, shaking her head.. &quot;This.. is the madness of necromancers.. they attempted to recreate life in all forms..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's grip on his crossbow relaxes involuntarily as his jaw drops.

* Sszeyl turns to look at the double door.

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...I may not understand your customs fully...but...this is not normal, yes?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That's as far as they go. They stay there, doing their shambling dances.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Well. Um.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#666666">&quot;Leave them be, says I.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I...suppose we don't have to start blasting?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">This.. i am an inquisitor for over a century, but i haven't ever seen *this*

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...They...don't appear to be bothering any one...&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl, the double door is cracked open now.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Poor souls...

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;Hrmph.. If they got a little closer, I could finish them all in one go.&quot;

Elros:<font color="#006666">&quot;...perhaps we could merely seal the tomb?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus closes his jaw and raises a hand.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now now Tathi, if they're no threat, best to leave them be.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus speaks lowly.

Miron:<font color="#000000">They aren't a threat *now*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Regardless of what we decide to do..&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">&quot;They are undead. That is reason enough.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#000000">&quot;Save your power for now. There's another room.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That too.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">But it'd be best to lay them to rest. After all, such can be called by any necromancer.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Thomas is right though. No need to do it *now*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gathers up his alchemical items, and turns to face the large doors.

Tathi:<font color="#6600CC">Tathi sighs, shaking her head. &quot;Allright then, let's get going.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And -now- is a good place to stop. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Okay. That is a palatable stopping point, for me.

VAE:<font color="#000000">*nods*

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh, that. xD

TMG:<font color="#000000">anyway, more accurately, &quot;That trick didn't work on us befor, it won't work now!&quot;

TMG:<font color="#000000">...

GM:<font color="#000000">Everyone gets 800 XP for monsters and tombwork! Minotaur steak, anyone?

TMG:<font color="#000000">I wonder how many villains we will have to take down.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Who think that invisibility is a good escape plan.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Before our reputations are so widely known that villains realize that if we're coming for them, don't use invisibility. x3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Chapter 4: THE INVISIBLE CITY.

GM:<font color="#000000">Thomas! 100 XP - Come at me bro -- OH PELOR IT'S ON MY FACE.

Meany:<font color="#666666">door*

GM:<font color="#000000">Elros - 100 XP - Dramatic Finishing Blow. When you do hit, you hit well.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Oh!

TMG:<font color="#000000">And Miron for Kamehameforcepalm

Faerie:<font color="#006666">&#171; &#160;13070+800+100 = 13070 + 800 + 100 = 13970&#160; <font color="#006666">&#187;

Meany:<font color="#666666">See?

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Sitting at 13940.. SO CLOSE.

Meany:<font color="#666666">I saved that dagger for a reason. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">*13990 mah bad

Meany:<font color="#666666">Oh.

Meany:<font color="#666666">GM.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I can just taste those 30 damage PA swings! &gt;:O

TMG:<font color="#000000">You're not the only one waiting on leadership, ghost. :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">in my case, probably spontaneous healing to couple with the sp. inflicting

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's cohort will be interesting. He strikes me as rather cohort-like himself, in the first place. Conventionally. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I wonder what it'll be~

Meany: <font color="#666666">(( Second of Cuthon. :o ))

TMG:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is not getting his cohort right off the bat.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Er/

Liatai:<font color="#000000">BRB, sacred canine duty.

TMG:<font color="#000000">And when he does, he's getting two (this was already worked out with DM. Fun fact, there is not technical limit on the number of cohorts you can have, this is explicitly stated, you just have to be able to pay

VAE:<font color="#000000">and yeah Liatai - in AitD, when you put on the record on the gramophone, ghost dancers appeared

TMG:<font color="#000000">And when he does, he's getting two (this was already worked out with DM. Fun fact, there is not technical limit on the number of cohorts you can have, this is explicitly stated, you just have to be able to pay for them as appropriate for how you're using them.)

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">I see.

Meany:<font color="#666666">So, about 7gp and2 sp into a 25 GP coat. =3=;;

TMG:<font color="#000000">Rule of thumb is that if you've got a cohort who's joining you on ever dungeon romp and is practically a member of the party, they get half-share of EXP and gold.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">We should pay for cohorts and bring all our alts into play. x3

Ghostwish:<font color="#6600CC">Allright folks, I gotta go. Save your logs, your campaigns, everything, nicodemus is going offline to install some MORE RAM. :&gt;

TMG:<font color="#000000">but neither of Gnogglebolt's cohorts will ever serve in this capacity.

Meany:<font color="#666666">Ta!

TMG:<font color="#000000">*will never

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#000000">Alright.

* Dr. Hatari poofs.

TMG:<font color="#000000">Liatai, save your html log :o
