Session 113

Ghostwish has connected.

Glitch has connected.

Railock has connected.

RAM has connected.

Glitch:......So. Ghostwish.

Glitch:Kor.

Glitch:Is he -really- dead, or not? :B

Liatai:-- What XD Found some trolling.

Railock:I say have him be faking

Ghostwish:I say he's dead on the grounds I don't want to lose another 1000 xp.

Liatai:Also updated HPs for bleed damage, by the way.

Railock:you'd gain back the 1k xp

Glitch:Er, I'm sure that if we say Kor's &quot;not&quot; dead, you'd get the EXP back. :B

Railock:and you could get him healed and keep him safe

RAM:I thought him being dead was what would lose you the xp...


 * RAM is confused now.

Glitch:^ that

RAM:<font color="#990000">How would him -not- being dead lose you xp?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- What the frack, Ghost, why those pictures. Was there any logic? XD

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">:3

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">And hey geniuses.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ram; He's saying he already removed the EXP for Kor &quot;dying&quot; but he did not immediately leap to the conclusion of getting the EXP back if we say Kor's alive. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">What happens next time he bites the dust?

Railock:<font color="#000000">you'd lose it then. but you could see about making sure he DOESN:T die

RAM:<font color="#990000">Then -if- he dies, you lose it then.

RAM:<font color="#990000">But logically, if he isn't dead, you don't lose xp.

RAM:<font color="#990000">It's a simple concept, really.

RAM:<font color="#990000">...Ed is a ninjadorf now?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Anf Viceth is Ax Cop! :O

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...Masabel is a Kyton, and Swallowtail is UberRageFace. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">and Tomiko is an Ogre.

RAM:<font color="#990000">And Tomi is a, yeah.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Tomiko is Gark. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">An Ogre. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">A goblin, actually. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">Oh. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">A drunk chill goblin paladin. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">x3

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

Meany:<font color="#660033">Mood is drilling through bedrock, I apologize for snapping that may occur.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">.....oh flip.


 * Liatai offers tea and a punching bag.


 * Meany drinks tea. Looks at punching bag, which bursts into flame.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I didn't ctrl+Z and remove the anti-teleport template last time before server was saved. It doesn't work now. :B (oh well, erasing manually...)

Meany:<font color="#660033">Nor did you do that for the session before.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Look down where the ice wall still is.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...Lia, just to check, did I accidentally catch anything I shouldn't have in the erasing? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... you erased the rain.... =w=;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">But that'd probably have vanished by now.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">......no....the rain was already gone. O.o

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... Who erased the rain, then? :.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">No clue. It was gone when I got here.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Must have been erased last time somehow.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Gonna delete a few fiends to make moving easier. :3

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You know, you don't really realize how severe the bleeding is from a bearded devil's glaive until you're out of combat.

Meany:<font color="#660033">All in favor of skinning the tigher/dogs as a present for barbie on our way back say brick the owl.

Meany:<font color="#660033">tiger*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You decide to be kind and say only a minute has passed in talking... and you're still knocking 20 HP out.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Is there a tiger still around? They should be gone.

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

Railock whispers: viceth portrait has been trolled

Railock whispers: Masabel as well

You whisper to Railock: I know.

Meany:<font color="#660033">He was when I poofed in.

Meany:<font color="#660033">You musta deleted him.

Meany:<font color="#660033">You monster. :V

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I didn't delete anything! O_o

Railock whispers: swallow, tomi...gark as tomi, that's bad

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Who's deleting things? XD

Meany:<font color="#660033">RAILOCK, are you in GM mode again?!

Railock whispers: edaric haha dwarfninja ed?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Ooh, excellent, initiative is still up...and we &quot;left off&quot; on...round 5, okay. Does anyone remember when the Holy Water storm was first cast? Then I believe Gnogglebolt spent...round 3 and 4 with his barrel in the rain (round &quot;five&quot; didn't get around to his turn yet)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">if Holy Rain was cast in the first round (and it lasts for eleven), then Gnogglebolt had his barrel in it for a total of 9 rounds until it ended. If Holy Rain was cast in the second round, then 10 total rounds.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">How much holy water would Gnogglebolt get in either case, Lia? How many &quot;charges&quot; (single flask units) of holy water does having a barrel in one square of the storm in one round get? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Let's say two units per round.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Brb, sounds like he fell downstairs.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">meany; ohgeeze. O.O

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll be generous since it's kind of an ingenious plan. Technically the water should vanish when the spell ends.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">...okay, so Gnogglebolt either has 18 or 20 'charges'...

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(Oh, dang, you know, I was -wondering- about that. ^^; )


 * Ghostwish is checking out familiar pockets.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">which book are those in, btw? :.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">SC, it's a spell. Though a custom permanent familiar pocket could be made with magic item rules.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I'd be surprised if MIC doesn't have one itself.

Meany:<font color="#660033">False alarm.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Thankfully, he's not on his mower again.

Meany:<font color="#660033">(Bad move, Grandma, giving him the damn keys to it back.)

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ah, only a level 1 spell.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Tathi is srs bsns.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Yeah, that can totally be easily made into a perma-magic item, for fairly cheap.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Here's an idea, though.

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

Meany:<font color="#660033">Ethereal dragon familiars. :V

Meany:<font color="#660033">Yo.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Hatari! When you're loaded, quick Q.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Did Thomas cast the Holy Water Rain in the first round or the second?


 * Dr. Hatari didn't sleep well. T_T

Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoriver - Underdark'Qorach:<font color="#660033">Yes?


 * Railock injects sleep into doc

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">First, I think. He tried to get that off at the first opportunity because it was too good to pass up. Then he got up on the wall second.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Damn. Only 18 charges, then. Last shot's gonna be a dreg...

VAE:<font color="#000000">Do we have everyone now?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well, you could probably get two vials off of the strike force if its important.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Each soakifyer shot takes 5. :B

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


 * VAE rolls in.

VAE:<font color="#000000">On a KV-2

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Lia ruled that I got two &quot;charges&quot; per round out of having the barrel in the holy water rain (and also ruled it doesn't vanish when the spell ends). I either had 18 or 20 charges depending on whether Thomas had cast it in the first or second round.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well I'm sort of here but I need to go afk. I pretty much went straight from bed to logging in. Still yawning tears. Need noms.. =w=;;


 * RAM runs over VAE is his IS-4.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Meow.

GM:<font color="#000000">Go forth and nom, Hatari. :3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Present, btw. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Bugger. But, if my game won't crash anymore maybe I'll have an IS-4 with some time, too

Railock:<font color="#000000">doom call

VAE:<font color="#000000">well, not IS-4

VAE:<font color="#000000">KV-4


 * VAE going the heavy heavy path

RAM:<font color="#990000">IS-4 is win.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Either heavy path, you're gonna end up in the IS line. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... I'm trying to find mood-appropriate music and my music player keeps spitting the peppiest cheeriest bubblegum stuff at me. XD

RAM:<font color="#990000">x3

RAM:<font color="#990000">Sounds fitting to me.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Actually IIRC there are two parallel tier 10s for soviet heavies

VAE:<font color="#000000">Wait..

VAE:<font color="#000000">I *will * get the 4

RAM:<font color="#990000">Yes, there are.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's IS-4 and IS-7

RAM:<font color="#990000">And each ends up in the IS line.


 * VAE ... headdesks. I haven't played since summer, 0.8.0 broke it for me


 * RAM is...kinda working on getting the IS-7.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Yo.

Meany:<font color="#660033">For mood wiplash music, I find myself listening to 'Stamp on the Ground' to think like Q. Who would have no problem operating on people who are fully awake and not medicated.

Meany:<font color="#660033">On an unrelated note, never ask me to help you with medical procedures.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">re-erased the anti-teleport template

VAE:<font color="#000000">Stamp on the ground is awesome

VAE:<font color="#000000">especially the video Zarla did,

Tokens dropped onto map 'World Map'Tokens dropped onto map 'World Map'* VAE mrow?

VAE:<font color="#000000">is this quiet, or did I drop?

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Quiet.

Tokens dropped onto map 'World Map'* Dr. Hatari returns.

VAE whispers: Trying to make and stat a token for future use on world map, tells me name with capital B is in use already.

VAE whispers: VAE can't see any such on map explorer, odd.


 * Meany pushes Hatari into a beanbag chair.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Gentlemen. Shall we begin?


 * Dr. Hatari gets no actual sitting support.

You whisper to VAE: I don

You whisper to VAE: I don't see any, either.

Tokens dropped onto map 'World Map'* Railock straps meany to a ballistic rocket and fires it off

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll be with you in two shakes, gonna take Violet out before we start. :3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Guess I'll also take care of my dog then.


 * RAM shakes twice.

RAM:<font color="#990000">You back, Lia? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... Actually, yes. I said &quot;Violet, wanna go out?&quot; She looked at me, groaned, and flopped onto the couch. :B

Meany:<font color="#660033">Violet? =3=;

RAM:<font color="#990000">x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Bull terrier I'm petsitting for. Very old.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Word to the wise, there is no match for the tenacity of a terrier. They do not know the meaning of &quot;drop it.&quot; :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">ach, present

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay, who's ready to have fun storming a castle? :3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Lia; oh my gosh yes. xD

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oh! Oh!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Me! Me!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Monster is some kind of terrier mutt.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Honk

Glitch:<font color="#000000">He -loves- playing tug-of-war.

Railock:<font color="#000000">ooh me, me!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...and if he ever gets something in his mouth he shouldn't have, we have to actually pry it out of his jaws. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">We shall cut at the core of the wretched tumour this town has become.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That's what they were bred for. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(he never ever ever bites though, in case that sentance worries anyone)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">There are times when I'm playing with Violet where I swear I could lift her off the ground by the toy and she still wouldn't let go. x3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I've -done- that with Monster once or twice in the past. xD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I got close earlier today, about half off the ground. But something in her look said Bad Things would happen if I lifted it farther, so I lowered it. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">heh. ^^;

GM:<font color="#000000">Last session on Akellon... The assault on the underground fortress believed to hold a calling diagram central to the fiendish invasion of Yoriver continued!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...and you know, despite what a twerp Monster can be sometimes, I'm really amazed--oh, this should probably go to irc huh. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gettin in character!

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">And in!

GM:<font color="#000000">The battlements were cleared in less than a minute of in-game time, and despite the cleanliness of the map, the corpses of devils litter this cavern now, broken-hafted glaives floating in the puddles of holy water and unholy water left behind. The air sizzles with brimstone and ozone, burnt flesh, and the faint copper tang of blood.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We should advance as quick as possible. They must have heard the racket, unless they're sitting on their ears.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Smells like...

Gamal-Junayd whispers: it looks like theres the door entrance below, and the two stairs down from each side up here? or do they all seem to lead the same place?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<b><font color="#990000">Victory

</b><font color="#990000">.

GM:<font color="#000000">But, this battle was not without casualties.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone take care of the prisoners, stat. Anyone got rope?'

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What are we going to do with our prisoners, anyway?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can't just leave them out here unguarded.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Hmm.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone must either guard them, or take them back.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've got rope, lots of rope! And still got a few manacles...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's quite enough of us for that, I'd guess.. anyone who's not feeling well after the battle, or is weakened.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I hate to say it. but if doing either of those jeapordizes the mission...it might be better to deal with them permanantly. &quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Agreed.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Correct.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Eventually, the holy rain cuts off, and Gnogglebolt looks in his barrel. It's about two-fifths the way full.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we cannot haul them back safely, they will have to be executed as it stands.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Not as much as I hoped.&quot;


 * Dr. Hatari returns.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can anyone tell if they are possessed, or threw in there lot with these fiends willingly?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He puts everything back together and shoulders his pack again, then walks over to where everyone is discussing the 'prisoners'.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Guess that's my cue.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's difficult to tell, as far as I know.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">But of course, we have so many damn goody-goody-two-shoes in our party. Of course we're not gonna kill them =3=


 * Thomas Lazarus frowns at the hard reality talk, and goes to work sensing the prisoners.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Damage report, how are people faring?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Detect Evil on the fallen.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas! Get that sword out, see if you can check any of them for possession. If any of them are -not- possessed...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;A devil-possessed man's aura is similar to that of an honestly evil man.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">mmmm.. how to do this..

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If any of them are not possessed, we shall take them anyways.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It makes little difference hauling around one prisoner or four, in terms of our logistics.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy tink dey are not. Dey did not sound like possessed pipple.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus murmurs.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Since when do you know how possessed people sound?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt takes a breath. &quot;One thing we cannot do is take them back now. That will take far too long. If any of them are not possessed, then either tie them up and leave someone to guard them, or...&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;All of the sanctioned summoners are possessed, according to what that young woman told me..&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">whispers in ignan &quot;Blades of War&quot; before cutting the throats of the hell hounds. THEY aren't going to be allowed to live. he then mutters in auran &quot;Blades of Honor&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They're not even real diabolists.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We shall not be taking them back *now* - someone shall have to guard them.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The nice thing about it is that if we do it that way, the someone will also alert us of any reinforcements from outside.&quot;

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: All have strong evil auras.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">In late response to Altonor; &quot;Ehhn. I took one bite.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Den vat about de odder two?&quot; :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whatever we do, we have to do it quickly.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus squints and tilts his head.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Our element of surprise can no longer be relied upon.&quot;

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Firaira, get your wolf to a medic!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fine. Get to work with the ropes, and the rest of you, pick someone who stays.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">ack

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is that simple.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Since you seem to know so much about prison procedure Miron, think you can guard them?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As for the rest.. does anyone require healing?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt heads over to the 'prisoners' and gets out his coils of rope.

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">Firaira whistles sharply. &quot;Cleric, on my wolf, now!&quot; She says. It doesn't sound like much in the way of negotiation.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;All of them have supernaturally strong evil auras. My assumption is that these two..&quot; He points to the white haired woman and knight, &quot;..are true clerics of Hextor, based on the powers they displayed in combat. Normal humans wouldn't have evil auras that strong.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">as well as manacles, masterwork manacles, and his adaptive shackles.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He points to the summoners. &quot;..And they're almost certainly possessed, as I assumed to begin with.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could.. however, I do have a spell in store for blowing up the summoning grid. I doubt anyone else here can make the cave erupt in fire and rubble like I did already.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Den kill dose two, tie up de odders?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus raises a brow. &quot;...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks up at Thomas, then down at the two 'clerics'.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Medics, get on those wounded by the bearded ones first!&quot;


 * Railock looks at the number of people who were full health at end of the fight or damn near, and have now almost bled down to 25% or lower

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we take them in, we can learn something. Once again, it makes little difference of hauling about two or four.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's head whips around. &quot;Um, Thomas, I think you need to do something.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">God damnit Altonor I'm distracted *bricked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We did the work of keeping them alive already.. we might as well reap the potential reward.&quot;

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 4 + 8 = 12&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Self heal check --

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Go, I'll get these ones tied up.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yeah..&quot; He trudges off.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">CL check: &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 3 + 12 = 15&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; for Draugrim's bleed.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">Chances are I won't do much better, CL 1 wand and all. &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 4 + 1 = 5&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&#171; &#160;1d8+5 = 8 + 5 = 13&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; Healing.

Draugrim:<font color="#000000">The healing helps, but the bleeding continues...

VAE:<font color="#000000">owl, fix SSzeyl's HP

VAE:<font color="#000000">it's 5155 instead of 51/55

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 9 + 8 = 17&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d8+1 = 8 + 1 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt fits one of the indicated 'clerics' with masterwork manacles, and on the second cleric (whichever one looks more wiry and lithe) gets the adaptive shackles. Gnogglebolt takes his time setting them up and turning the adaptive shackles on. (taking ten)


 * Thomas Lazarus frowns and keeps trying. &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 13 + 12 = 25&#160;  &#187; &#171;  &#160;1d8+5 = 8 + 5 = 13&#160;  &#187; again, Draugrim.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">One of the possessed summoners gets the normal manacles, and the last one is tied up with conventional rope.


 * Masabel tightens a bandage with her teeth. &quot;Got it, I think.&quot;

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Gods damned devils..&quot; She mutters in elven. Draugrim healed yet?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well he probably ain't bleeding atleast.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's make sure.&quot; &#171; &#160;3d8+3 = 11 + 3 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; wandings! Yep, Draugrim's no longer bleeding.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;*erhm* Miss Lazarus, come here.&quot;


 * Masabel swats the wand away after three taps. &quot;Let's check on the others first, and get off this wall. Arrow slits.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Hoo-boy.


 * Tomiko Lazarus walks over. &quot;?&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus uses a healing wand for the rest of the big wolf's wounds. &#171; &#160;5d8+5 = 18 + 5 = 23&#160;  &#187;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either of you two need a hand down?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Terrible.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;2d8+10 = 14 + 10 = 24&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Healination as the inquisitor touches her. &quot;There, that should fix what the hound did.&quot;

Draugrim:<font color="#9933FF">83/105. He's looking a lot better now. Still plenty of blood in that fur however.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">99%. She tenses her arm and nods approvingly.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain goes to inspect one side of the wall. What -is- over here, DM? Is there supposed to be a doorway leading inside, is that where the baddies came from in the middle of the fight?

VAE:<font color="#000000">We are the 99%?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Actually it's 97% but I'm a barbarian. *bricked*

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;6d8+9 = 30 + 9 = 39&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; healing for Tom!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyone else needing a fixup, speak now.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Kep could use a touchup.&quot; Oh dear. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy'm goot.&quot; :3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He nods gratefully, still working on healing the wolf. &quot; Big boy, ain't you.. &quot; MOOOAR &#171; &#160;4d8+4 = 12 + 4 = 16&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&#171; &#160;3d8+3 = 18 + 3 = 21&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; D|

Miron:<font color="#000000">*sigh* &quot;Does that devil leech off positive or negative plane?&quot;

Draugrim:<font color="#9933FF">99/105 lulz

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;2d8+3 = 13 + 3 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for Firaira with a wand...

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain calls out. &quot;I'm, uh, actually rather beat up, here...but I'll try and fix myself with the wand someone gave me.&quot; Vonain is limping, and one of his arms has a huge, nasty bite-gash in it.

Draugrim:<font color="#9933FF">There! Finally healed! And now Thomas' face is throughly coated in slobber. ^^;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">He pulls out the fully-charged CLW wand and turns it around to point it at himself.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Get down here before you do! There are arrow slits up there.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">DM?


 * Thomas Lazarus flails and chuckles weakly. ^^;;;;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Plz exposit what I was investigating first? :B

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">She jumps a little and spins around quickly.. but then sees Edaric with a wand. &quot;Warn me first! ... but thank you.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Your healing'll do no good if you're peppered with arrows while you're doing it!&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">There are doors up top that seem to lead to other chambers... you can't see more without poking your head in.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi had been over in the back, quietly stroking the tiny form of Kor.. when she blinks. &quot;Wait.. Doesn't the link sever when they die?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Are you sure you want to do that, Vonain?

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">DUN DUN DUUUNNNNNNN

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain pulls out his...small steel mirror. :&gt;

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;What do you mean?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oi, DM, remind me to take that sacred healing feat. This is such a pain sometimes. XP

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">And very carefully looks in the doorway with it, keeping the rest of himself outside.

Meany:<font color="#660033">How not answering the DM of you.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I still feel him. I still..&quot; She stops and peers closer. &quot;Sweet trees!&quot; She cries. &quot;He's alive! Thomas, quick, he's alive still!


 * Gamal-Junayd looks where vonain is &quot;Shouldn't we be rejoining the others?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660033">:B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;2d8+10 = 13 + 10 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;, as the inquisitor touches the winged pig with an annoyed expression. &quot;There, now scram off.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sorry.&quot; Ed wanders on -- and then whip his head around. &quot;-- What?!&quot; Bardzoom!

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;One sec...&quot; Vonain looks down at the reflection in the tiny mirror to see inside the cracked-open doorway.


 * Thomas Lazarus starts.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;2d8+3 = 5 + 3 = 8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; wand tap!

Miron:<font color="#000000">(that was on Kep)

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Really..??&quot; He peers. &#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 17 + 17 = 34&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; Heal.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Kor iz not dead?&quot; :o

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does he look undead to you --&quot; The drow sighs, but aquiesces. &quot;Thanks.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;With you lot, anything's possible.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">He was comatose, badly injured, and he might have stopped breathing at one point, but there's a pulse yet.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">This person seemingly couldn't care less, and walks through the ranks checking everyone out.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So the rat lived through it?!&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">You see a room with a corner, and two closed doors.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Yes! He's breathing again! Edaric, quick, again!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Ah.. I think it was just a large shock from that infernal spell. I think he'll be alright, now.&quot; {:3

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;That plucky little rat..&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;2d8+3 = 10 + 3 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; !

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Infernal spell.. one'd think it'd heal him.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">That did it. The rat squirms suddenly, and gives a pitiful squeak!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">-- and then he flourishes the wand over his shoulder and taps Aelian. &#171; &#160;2d8+3 = 11 + 3 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ah, thanks, I had rather forgotten my own wounds.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Seemingly satisfied, Vonain pockets the mirror, looks at Gamal, &quot;Alright, I'm done here.&quot; Then he jumps off the wall as his ghostly translucent wings spread, and he floats lazily down to the bottom.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Don't think you updated Vonain/s health, tech

VAE:<font color="#000000">24/54

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">He pulls out the CLW wand (for real now) as he starts talking and points it at himself.

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

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">(I haven't healed yet, I'm self healing)

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, yes. He told he'll do it.. and I somehow assumed he did

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thought so -- hey, he's okay!&quot; :D

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">No one mention how we left him for dead immediately -- *BRICK'D*

Malachite:<font color="#000000">He's okay?! 8O

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;You little rat bastard! You scared me half to death!&quot; Tathi exclaims, and squeezes the little rat closely.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey everyone, there's a passage from where those others came from in the middle of the fight. I dunno about the rest of you, but I never use the front door--&quot; Vonain looks at the main gate, &quot;If I can help it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi, a bad weed never dies out.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">oh dear god what strange hell is this I smell of burnt fur got blood in my mouth and can't breath get this elven wnech offa me!!

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">And at the same time, Use Magic Device check to fire wand: &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 14 + 18 = 32&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;


 * Thomas Lazarus nods approvingly..

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Fast work, Ed.&quot;


 * Malachite pounces! You fat-fat! I thought you were dead!


 * Thomas Lazarus looks over the rest one last time.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ja, but no vun ever uses de front door, so dat is vat dey vould least eckspekt.&quot; :B

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Success 1; &#171; &#160;1d8+1 = 4 + 1 = 5&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;As for guarding the prisoners, maybe that dog of yours will do, Aelian.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">GET THEM OFF OF MEEEE~

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;No casualties, then. Excellent work, everyone.&quot; |3

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Use Magic Device:&#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 15 + 18 = 33&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, looks like tathi doesn't have to find another rat big enough to inheirit the rat's armor&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Smoke could pull it off.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">(all against DC 20)

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">CLW: &#171; &#160;1d8+1 = 5 + 1 = 6&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">UMD: &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 3 + 18 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And.. our work is not over. Don't drink for the bear's skin while he's running about the forest.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">The wand sputters and sparks slightly, but shoots a healing beam into Vonain. He eyes it cautiously.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Don't you get a +2 circumstance bonus for trying to activate an item you've activated before?

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">....do I now? :. *checks*

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I think it says in the skill entry.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">nnnnnno, doesn't say anything about that.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">I think you're thinking of Artificers.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You do have to perform some equivalent activity in order to make the check. That is, you must speak, wave the item around, or otherwise attempt to get it to activate. You get a special +2 bonus on your Use Magic Device check if you&#8217;ve activated the item in question at least once before.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yes it does. :B

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">...Oh. :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Allright, allright.&quot; She says, finally releasing Kor. Oh the indignant squeaking and fussing. &quot;Let's get back to the task at hand, before we have any more close calls.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">...well then, Vonain can't fail, even on a 1. :U

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">HealHealHealHeal!

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whatever we're doing, we should start it before they get archers into position.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d8+1 = 7 + 1 = 8&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did we decide what we were doing with the prisoners?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;2d8+2 = 13 + 2 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom makes a mental note of how much time this process takes for future feat-selecting purposes. &gt;:9

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just said.. the dog can guard them. The one Aelian's got.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Tavia sees combat just as often, Miron.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">5 charges used

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..You know..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't care which one.. they look the same and stink the same.&quot;

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;Elven hounds are staunch allies, but one alone against the legions of Hell? Not after that close call.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If it's a problem, I could just bind them together and carry them.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(delayed reaction, sorry) Gnogglebolt looks up to Tomiko as she approaches the prisoners.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They're just humans.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...You could do that?&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus scoffs. &quot;...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I mean--&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We need you holding the line. You're one of our best fighters, Tomiko.&quot;

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or... I could stay behind and guard them with the hound.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That would do.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She gathers forearms together and lifts all four of them in one hand. Her light load rating is four hundred sixty pounds.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, of course your stupendous strength can, I'm just wondering about what happens when an enemy drops a fireball on you. They'll all die on your back. Not...that I'd miss either of the clerics, but.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I could just let them hit the dirt in a skirmish.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas said the two 'summoners' were possessed.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're all over-thinking it.&quot;

Sanctioned Summoner 2:<font color="#000000">Two of the enemies are in full plate.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl's is only 173.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's still a bad idea. The elf can guard them.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">I BRING SHAME TO MELEE.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And alert us if reinforcements show up, plus keep our way back clean.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Uh, no.&quot; She squints and says demandingly.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Rae is too valuable.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You are more so. We don't lack flickerlights, but muscle.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I will take care of it. It isn't even a burden.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shrugs. &quot;Well, if it works, it works. You're responsible for making sure they don't get caught in any heat, right miss Tomiko?&quot;

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;'The elf?' I am Raerarael Eyllisaearsithek, little man, not just 'the elf!'&quot; &gt;:3 &quot;And this group's got a lot of magery in it. If things get hairy, I can teleport them out.&quot;

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Allright, if anyone would like to argue with the berzerker, how about challanging her to a grappling match?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know. we could perhaps leave Kor behind to watch with whoever we leave. Then, if soemthing does happen, the rat can hide and alert tathi, right? And it also means he won't be in any more danger from random assaults of devil magic as we go deeper.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You still are an elf, as opposed to a goblin or a kobold.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That means you can't take point where you could potentially take the first hit from someone.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Says who?&quot;

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's an idea. Tathi, why don't you leave Kor and Aelian's dog with me? That way I can alert you if something happens.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;That's.. actually a good idea. Kor does know how to hide.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000"> &quot;Dis vould be so much easier if ve chust killed dem...&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus actually cuffs Shankfang. &gt;:(

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Two of them are innocent!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look, I don't care -what- we do as long as we do it quickly, and the two possessed individuals aren't put in any further danger.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;2d8+2 = 5 + 2 = 7&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Altonor just shakes his head and tries to heal Kep'salion.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Tavia could stay back and guard the rear. She's a quick interceptor in a pinch.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. And we're here to serve justice, not the god of slaughter.&quot;


 * Shankfang the Deffrider dodges.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi nods. &quot;Then it's agreed. Kor can stay as a hidden rear guard to watch for reinforcements. Tavia will stay back to guard us casters.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Den leaf dem in Gnogglebolt's goot shackles and get dem on de vay back.&quot; &gt;:|

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fine, then do it, and let's fucking move.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl just puts his arms into his sleeves and waits.

Raerarael:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's settled! Tomiko, go ahead with the group. I'll blast anyone trying to sneak up on you.&quot; &gt;:3

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">...Then gets bored.


 * Tomiko Lazarus looks annoyed. &quot;...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I don't know if I want to leave Raerarael here.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now, which way are we going to move? Front gate? side doors?&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d8+1 = 3 + 1 = 4&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you leave them unguarded, they'll heal them up, and we'll ahe to take them down again.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">And rifles through the downed people's stuff.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d8+1 = 6 + 1 = 7&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">LET THERE BE LOOOT.


 * Tomiko Lazarus seems to agree only because Raerarael suggested it. &quot;Fine.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's as stupid as half an arse in the window.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">CURSE YOU MEANY. *brick'd*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Garl's gold, Sszeyl, not now, we don't have time for that.&quot;

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+17 = 15 + 17 = 32&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; Hey, where'd that rat go?

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Ignoring the gnome.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat's vy hyu leaf dem shackled und unconcious. Vill ve really take dat long?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;... ...What have they got?&quot;

Kor:<font color="#9933FF">I come back from the dead and you put me to work?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Anything dangerous?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Them's the haps, rat.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Definatly take any holy symbols they have them on?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We're in the Underdark, Shank.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Situation changes. We might take longer getting back.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's the most dangerous place on the planet.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Holy symbols, and any obviously magic items&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">have on them I mean

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, holy symbols, take anything they can use at least, Sszeyl.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We ran into several predators just on the walk here.&quot; =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl puts the unholy symbols, which fight to stay in Sszeyl's hand, to Gnoggle. &quot;Silver to be ground up for your water.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd want to see that healing whistle in action on our side, if anyone can figure it out.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Please hold, your loot machine is warming up.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">brb dog whimpering

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Let me look for more.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#660033">(( Gotcha. ))

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Mmm, delicious loot.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">ffffuuuu


 * Dr. Hatari opens loot disc.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Excellent, thank you.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">all praise the loot machine!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That took .7 seconds.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yes

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yes.

VAE:<font color="#000000">If yes, Miron's taking one of those babies.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">And grabbing one of those protect rings. :V

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">ring of protection might be useful if spells start running out

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Someone come over here with one of those extradimensional bags?&quot;

Hextorian Knight:<font color="#000000">Cold weather outfit, courtier's outfit with a carnelian signet ring, ten bottles of Heron Marsh white wine, a marble figurine of a rather muscular angel holding a sword in one hand and the symbol of Kord in the other, a silver dagger, a jar of pickled onions, a used red candle, a sparker, a cushion, a jar of pickled eggs, a jar of chutney, and a loaf of pumpernickel bread.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Actually screw it. Taking Periapt of Wisdom

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">*3*

VAE:<font color="#000000">and one of the +2 rings as opposed to +1 he 's got

Hextorian Guardian:<font color="#000000">+2 full plate, +2 heavy steel shield, Ring of protection +1, Heward's Handy Haversack, an armor care kit, Periapt of Wisdom +2, unholy symbol (Hextor), masterwork flail, masterwork heavy crossbow, spell component pouch...

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">gamal will take ring of protection +2, putting a ring of protection +1 back in

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom will eventually take all the Hextorian loot and crayon suns over the evil symbols. *bricked*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I could use a ring, an amulet, and one of the cloaks. :B

Hextorian Guardian:<font color="#000000">Cold weather outfit, courtier's outfit with a carnelian signet ring, four small stone rabbits, a scrap of worn leather, a slice of carrot cake, a pair of matched star rubies wreathed in white continual flame. There.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Can I point out how ridiculously OOC it is for everyone to be trying to call dibs on loot while we're in the middle of an active operation?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Too bad there's nothing that really helps a ranged guy like me. &gt;:

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Oh! Almost forgot.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">carrot cake and rabit statues? is it a were rabbit?

Hextorian Guardian:<font color="#000000">This one's armor is +2 glamered full plate.

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor approaches the bearded knight, strips off the amulet and ring, and puts them on himself.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Umm, not ridiculous at all?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well none of the dibs were in character.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Actually, not quite

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So...

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">This loot is immeditely better than what I have now.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I agree. Not to mention Liatai is just being nice, and we have no idea what any of this stuff is.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Miron just walked there and nicked stuff off him

Glitch:<font color="#000000">And how, IC, we really do not have time for actually going through the stuff, just grab&amp;bag?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Blah, hang on, Violet needs to go out. ^^;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">+2 and +1 better respectively.

VAE:<font color="#000000">The dibbing was OOC, IC we aren't so nice.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Bullshit, Techy.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, we're stripping them

VAE:<font color="#000000">Just.. keeping the nice bits to ourselves

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">battle field spoils. if you have something that's better, USE it.

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Why are you putting on random things off the captives? They could be cursed.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Would you pass up something that would help you survive the upcoming battle?

RAM:<font color="#990000">No.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">would you KNOW that there's something there?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Look. Frankly, healing takes time. This occurs during the minutes of time the others necessarily spend on recovering.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">cept no one's IDing them

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">There.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;If they are, I loose nothing of importance. In the present case, they seem similar to what I have already, and my guess is correct.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If they were cursed, they woudn't be wearing them.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">....alright, Hatari makes a good point. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">Yes, you would.

RAM:<font color="#990000">You just took down several very tough individuals.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The servants of hell aren't idiots, and we aren't either.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;They are also better than what I have, and thus need to be used.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">but masabel as liatai brings up the poiont we don't actually know what they do

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">so does anyone identify them?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Of course they'd have some good equipment on them.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">or are they just rings?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">^ that, what rail said. Shit needs to be identified, yo. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">that could do anything

RAM:<font color="#990000">To think otherwise is stupid.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">That's as good as a DM's warning.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">we can assume they might be awesome, but at this point, all we knoiw is they are magic, and if someone keeps detect magic on em, what shcool

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor now has a shiny periapt in the shape of Hextor's arrows hanging off his neck on top of his cross.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">identify takes an hour case

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">cast

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Getting items in the format Lia gives them is basically a courtesy to me as the loot tracker.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">and we are NOT waiting around for that

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We absolutely have to get them appraised and I.D.'d later.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Which takes hours.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So let's skedaddle.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ah, that's right. IDing and crap.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">^ what Hatari said. The itemlists are just for loot tracking, not immediate grabbing. People better not be changing their equipment lists right this second. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">Forgot about that. :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">And Tathi getting shit-faced drunk. Which is hilarious.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Yeah TOTALLY NOT LIKE I DIDN&quot;T SAY THAT RIGHT OFF KTHX


 * Dr. Hatari shrugs.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's the red text. *bricked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">Either way, stripping them bare makes sense.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Though, I would probably still throw some stuff on.

Miron:<font color="#000000">(you know what I mean)

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">I gave my IC reasons for trying, and unless they have an immediate negative effect, which I am willing to take, Imma try it. Because that's how I roll.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">It has to be better than the nothing I have right now. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">And get cursed. DM warned you.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Question.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">This person frowns back at Rae and grudgingly stands with the others. &quot;..Well..&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Guess we're ready.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">How does a 'cursed' item work?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Again, how would Sszeyl know that those &quot;bracers of armor&quot; were, in fact, bracers of armor better than his?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Varies by curse.

VAE:<font color="#000000">He has none.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Have to ID it.

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's how

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also ...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They're basically all unique.

VAE:<font color="#000000">He wouldn't be able to pull a cursed item off

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Because he put them on to see. :V Experimentation.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Danman; no, Sszeyl already had bracers of armor +1

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;You know.. I'd rather you not stay back here, Dad.. As good as we all are at it, Kor can hide better than we can.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Would they not affect the person already wearing it, and only affect someone else that puts it on?

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Plus I don't really have much to do elsewise.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Some curses hide themselves from the user.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Some curses compel the victim to keep using them.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Etc.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">And just putting on a magic item basically -never- tells you what the item actually does.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">All Sszeyl knows is that the guy's bracers loook magical, btu then again, so do his own.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Because if not, then I think it would be safe to assume that high-level enemy characters wouldn't be wearing cursed items.

RAM:<font color="#990000">They obviously know exactly what they're using.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Either way, Miron pockets one ring and one periapt. Didn't update stuff, though it's equally likely.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ram; it could be a part of the fiend control, did you think of that?

VAE:<font color="#000000">ANd.. RAM is right. Miron is assumign that the LE servants of hell are smart enough not to wear cursed items.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Like hatari said, every curse is unique.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Most aren't even obvious.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">some work like a normal item till a certain condition happens, which point you can't stop using em and they go from a positive to a negative

VAE:<font color="#000000">He said it ,even.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sheesh whatever. =w=;

RAM:<font color="#990000">And the fiends would...make their servents weaker?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I really hope Liatai curses the ever loving shit out of everyone loot grabbing. Good gods. XD

RAM:<font color="#990000">Illogical.

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">ram

Glitch:<font color="#000000">You totally missed the point ram.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I mean a cursed item where the &quot;curse&quot; is actually -enabling easier fiend possession-.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">a cursed item could be say.. a +3 item that functions untill you betray a contract, then it becomes a -3 item

Glitch:<font color="#000000">That can happen.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">^ and what Gamal said.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Every curse is unique.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">It could be anything.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">that would be an item firends could give out to servents

RAM:<font color="#990000">Just saying, it seems illogical to me.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Fine,can we decide on something?

VAE:<font color="#000000">The OOC bicker is getting dumb

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">curses can be magic gone wrong, or built into items as retribution now....

Glitch:<font color="#000000">A &quot;cursed&quot; item can still be beneficial in some ways, or can be &quot;cursed&quot; so that it -only- works for the person it's supposed to, and not someone else.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well. Edaric gets three pips of minor curing for his trouble.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, which way? Front door, or the side passages up here?&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Those are all valid curses.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Okay, ICly you're going to look incredibly stupid just slapping on an enemy's gear without checking it first.

VAE:<font color="#000000">It got shovelled down the sacks, people who thought stuff seems useful took stuff, and nobody's wearing the gear yet

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Then Altonor gets another &#171; &#160;2d8+3 = 9 + 3 = 12&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Curse does not automatically mean &quot;it's immediately bad for the user&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">move curse talk to irc to continue

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They were crowding the gate like their lives depended on it.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian nudges Edaric. &quot;You're bleeding a bit.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So... the gate.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">and guys

RAM:<font color="#990000">Just saying, it seems incredibly unlikely. But, whatever. Moving on.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">you all realize Lia left? :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">And asked to wait? :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Did she?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Yes she did.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Had to go let the dog out.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Said plz wait. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Technically, they were defending all the passages. They only came out to guard up here after we showed we could ignore their front lines&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">So.. WE CAN KEEP ARGUING! *brick'd*

Glitch:<font color="#000000">She's not here.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">She did not say please wait that was your addition.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We've only covered this like 40,000 times. :T

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Liatai: Blah, hang on, Violet needs to go out. ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">After a bit more thought, the inquisitor pockets the periapt along with the ring - for one, the chain is made for a human and hangs down to his knees.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's an expression.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I dunno about the rest of the world, but in California, &quot;Hang on&quot; means the same thing as &quot;wait&quot; :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Now quit being OCD, we're having irrelevant banter.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Except the the healing, remember that. &gt;.&gt; *bricked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can anyone scout and see what's going on deeper in?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Reading up.

Sszeyl: <font color="#660033">(( Yo. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Please hold.

Sszeyl: <font color="#660033">(( Sszeyl can, but Gnoggle would throw another fit. :T ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#660033">(( So get the ninja to do it! :V ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actually.. forget it. With the noise we made, everyone closer than half a mile is alert like they sat on a hedgehog.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Scout?! We had an army clash filled with thunder!&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Guys. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">She just said please hold. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I dunno about the rest of the world, but in California...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I swear I would internet-strangle you if I could.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">How can you possibly interpret &quot;please hold&quot; as &quot;just an expression&quot;?!

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">She did not say please hold.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I scrolled up and checked.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Liatai: Reading up. Sszeyl: (( Yo. )) Liatai: Please hold.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Liatai: Reading up. Sszeyl: (( Yo. )) Liatai: Please hold.

VAE:<font color="#000000">because it's all banter, and it's coming in slower being typed than one can read.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well she did a second ago.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">... how did I- yeah that's why. Line spam.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Please hold is a polite way of asking you to not hang up. =3=;

RAM:<font color="#990000">I'll strangle him for ya when I go visit next month. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But I still don't care it was just one response line. =3=

Meany:<font color="#660033">Don't forget the hookers, Ram.

Meany:<font color="#660033">He needs to talk to them hookers.

VAE:<font color="#000000">RAM, don't strangle Ghost, strangle Tech instead.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Quit being so fussy.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Umm, yeah.

RAM:<font color="#990000">That's who I was talking about.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">It's called example, hatari. You keep going, everyone else keeps going. :B Like has happened literally every single time in the past. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">Why would I be talking about Ghost? :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">and I wasn't talking -specifically- to you, anyway.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">And no one has a problem with it except you.

VAE:<font color="#000000">You know. We could just ignore him and do something more fun than OOC arguing.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Seconded.

RAM:<font color="#990000">...Is it just me, or does this session seem more tense than usual? :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">More energetic, if anything


 * Altonor blinks. &quot;-- huh, hadn't even noticed. Thanks.&quot; As what remains of the unholy rain likely is sloshing in the boots of the armored ones.

Glitch whispers: See what I mean about feeling attacked? ^^;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Lady Firaira, how about you, Swallowtail and I go scouting?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Forget it.&quot;

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;You would bring the little girl?&quot; She asks disbelievingly.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">What the heck happened here? ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tomiko is right. It wouldn't do us much good.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Swallowtail is a ninja. She can hold her own quite well.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Can people stop talking for a moment? I need to catch up.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Gir: I -DON'T- know.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I am not a little girl.&quot; &gt;:|


 * Viceth looks up. &quot;... Curious. They haven't sent archers, nor artillery, yet.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy tink dey know ve are here. Perhaps ve should skip de skoutink und keep goink?&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(Let us know when you're caught up, Lia? &gt;.&gt; )

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It looks like our wounded are combat-tenable and our prisoners are accounted for. We're ready.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's not press our luck and waste time with scouting. Up above or front gates, let's regroup and move. Now if we can.&quot;

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">Firaria narrows her eyes at Swallowtail. &quot;You look like you're sixteen. If that.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Right. Let's go up. Get the drop on them if we can.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Agreed. Better we have it and not them.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus scoffs at Firaira. &quot;You're all little girls. Now quitcherbitchin'.&quot;


 * Raerarael waves to Tathi. &quot;Kor also can't blow legions of hell back there with a gesture! Don't worry, we'll be fine. Make sure you stay the same!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's move it, then.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;It is alvays goot to take de high fround.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus grabs the front gate and shakes it around experimentally.

Glitch whispers: assuming you -did- get caught up, yeah, this is the kind of thing I was talking about. All I do is reaffirm what you say yourself, and everyone attacks me for it.


 * Swallowtail narrows her eyes at Firaira. &quot;So do you.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, up. they may have extra defenses like murder holes in the front entrance.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Allright, if you insist.&quot; She says, and gives her dad a hug.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Line up.&quot;

You whisper to Glitch: Talk to me AFTER THE GAME IF YOU MUST ABOUT THIS.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;I'll throw you up the wall, or just pull you up.&quot;


 * Raerarael hugs back. &quot;Go get 'em, girl.&quot; |3

Glitch whispers: well there was no need for caps. ;~;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Whichever you feel like doing.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">=_=;

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ha!&quot; She says, tossing her hair. &quot;Now there's a compliment. Barring Raerarael, I'm probably the oldest here!&quot;


 * Viceth clears his throat. |3

Tavia:<font color="#9933FF">Tavia keeps pacing about, growling. Patrolin'.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ready to commence tossink!&quot; :B

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh. Right. Old man is so old I forgot about him.&quot; She says with a smirk.


 * Teeny Rin tries to catch Tavia ridin' dirty.


 * Altonor huffs. =3= &quot;If anyone doesn't want to be catapault launched, speak up.&quot;

Tavia:<font color="#9933FF">WHITE AND NERDY~*all of the bricks*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Catapult-launched?!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd ... uh...&quot;


 * Altonor points to Sszeyl.


 * Tomiko Lazarus takes that as a cue that we are disregarding the gate.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl lightly holds Shankfang by the shoulder.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">...And launches the orc into the air with no effort.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000"> &quot;Hy love dis ride.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;WHEEEEEEEEE!&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... How do I only have one point higher Climb than my Dorf Fortress level 7 self.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Nom: Shankfang and Sszeyl: I love this ride!

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Oh well. &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 5 + 18 = 23&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And land'd!

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She effortlessly scales the blocky wall like it were a ladder.


 * Glitch goes afk for a few minutes. Characters follow allong in usual formation, just a bit RP-deflated at the moment.

Miron:<font color="#000000">''Ah well. Better this than that filthy drow with his filthy winged devil of a horse''


 * Thomas Lazarus sighs at the wall. &quot;...&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus smirks at her brother. &quot;..What?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">With a resigned expression, the inquisitor stands in front of Sszeyl. &quot;If you wouldn't mind...&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Don't want to get thrown?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl easily picks up Miron...

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;That's the disadvantage of heavy armor, Thomas.&quot; Aelian says with a smirk.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&#171; &#160;1d20+24+mod = 1 + 24 + 0 = 25&#160; <font color="#660033">&#187; Jump check!


 * Shankfang the Deffrider peeeeers through one of the arrow slits.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">RIGHT INTO THE WALL

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">And scales the wall despite the one.


 * Altonor smirks, and dismounts. &quot;Know how to ride, Father Lazarus?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Throwing miron over the edge, onto the wall.

Miron:<font color="#000000">*splat*

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor slides down the wall, with a bad case of impact face.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">I would so be banned from pro-sports.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not really.&quot; |D; &quot;But I've ridden on a horse before.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">...You can look through arrow slits from the other side, right?

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">And jumps back down to help the others.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hextor's dicks in TIAMAT'S ARSES!&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">You can but it's a good way to get an arrow in the eye. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">*rubs his forehead and nose*

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Nom: Miron: Dear gods the cursing. XD


 * Shankfang the Deffrider peers anyway. If they were gonna start shooting, they would have already. :B

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's enough for a lift. Climb up.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi scrunches up her face. &quot;Really Miron? Really?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Plus, if there's any enemies on the other side, I can shoot them through it! :D

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Well, let's wrap this up.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nobody slammed you in a wall, missy, though if you won't shut up, I might fucking do it.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Hup.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Ed and Vic doing the horsey thing?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Do I see anything on the other side of the wall?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hi.&quot; She smirks faintly and approaches Ed Oh GODS

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">RUUUUUUUN


 * Kep'salion waits for Thomas to get situated... It's a bit different from riding a normal horse, but close enough for horseshoes or hand grenades.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">|D;;;;;;;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Just be glad Terri isn't here. Or you'd be taking your dosage of soap.&quot; She says, and walks off as she says, &quot;Rectally.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Hey hey hey whoa it's okay I'll take the horse.&quot; |D;;;;


 * Thomas Lazarus holds on tightly.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Napalm? :B

Kep'salion:<font color="#000000">Whoosh! Clatter.


 * Tomiko Lazarus leans away as Kep takes off.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Rectal administration's what happens when someone stuffs a bar up yer face.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Come on, come on. We got a schedule to keep.&quot; *w*

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Anyone else?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Still looking through the arrow slit. :B


 * Glitch returns

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Yo.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Inch -- inch -- mountflee! |D;;;;


 * Altonor laughs. &quot;Maybe next time, Tomiko!&quot; Drow away!

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You're lucky they're ridiculously fast and I'm courtesy-waiting!! *fist*

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 19 + 18 = 37&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl climbs the wall again...by digging his fingers into the stone and clawing his way up. |D;;;


 * Tomiko Lazarus ascends again, no trouble.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Still peering...

GM:<font color="#000000">Shankfang sees an empty hallway with benches.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm, no vun back dere.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd listens down the stair/hall the enemies came from. sees if he can hear anything over the people coming up (Listen Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 4 + 1 = 5&#160;  &#187;)

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">He arrives with loud thumps, and leaves holes in the masonry.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;East or west?&quot;


 * Shankfang the Deffrider flips a coin...

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She frowns at Raerarael. &quot;..Don't be a stupid hero if something bad shows up. Get out of there, okay..?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... You can tell that kind of direction down here?&quot; O.o

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I looked in that door already.&quot; Vonain points to the left-side door on the wall.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;East, west, arse or an asshole&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;It is not difficult, with practice.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;It looked empty when I checked it out.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Koin says East!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;East it shall be, then.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;There were two closed doors.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;West. the more powerful of the ones came from there it seemed&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus shrugs. &quot;Uh.. 'east' then.&quot; He glances left and right uncertainly.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain is still pointing in Gamal's direction.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Oi!&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So it might be closer to their head quarters.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Right.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu don' vant to defy de koin!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or closer to a guarded gate.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Bad tinks heppen if hyu do dat!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're going east, it was said.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The coin shouldn't be making decisions&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Go home coin, you are drunk.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have no basis for a decision otherwise. A coin is as good as your head.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let us go, and waste no more time.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mentioned why I would head west. &quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Do not mock de koin!&quot; &gt;:O

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just move forward, everyone. Vonain said he already looked in that one, so I'm inclined to go in the direction that has already been looked in.&quot;


 * Viceth mutters something in Elven. =3=

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;the stronger ones came from here.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I find your logic with more holes than my shoes.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;De koin is all knowink!&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd looks at shank...andjust walks west

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I could cast Clairaudience, if need be?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...At least, ven dere are only two choices.&quot; :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either split up, or let's fucking move it east.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;How long does that one last again, Tathi?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... I guess it doesn't matter at all.&quot; &gt;.&gt;;


 * Shankfang the Deffrider frowns, and walks east!

Altonor:<font color="#000000">Luckily for the bickering party, both entrances lead to the same place. A hallway, with two doors leading north on each end for four doors total.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt says as he and Vonain walk with Gamal.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;About ten minutes.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;--Get your stupid ass back here before I run you down, foreigner.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. Save it for the moment, I'd say then.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus does not sound nice.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Which foreigner?


 * Gamal-Junayd will go up to the doors then, and listens at each one.. right (Listen Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 4 + 1 = 5&#160;  &#187;) left (Listen Check : &#171;  &#160;1d20+1 = 8 + 1 = 9&#160;  &#187;)

GM:<font color="#000000">The hallway is deserted.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...who's Tomiko talking to? :B


 * Gamal-Junayd can't listen worth crap

Glitch:<font color="#000000">There's a lot of foreigners. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Four doors total, two to the east, two to the west. All lead north, and to Gamal, all seem quiet.

Miron:<font color="#000000">And all of them stupid

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">That's an in-character clarification isn't it?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Tasher: Holy shit she's on to me-*BRICK'D*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">so...prepare for DM-move, or no map just yet?

GM:<font color="#000000">No map just yet.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Oh. Okay.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, if hyu vant to anger de koin, den go ahead und go vest. Hy, on de odder hand, am goink east.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can you see.. anyone, if one of the door seem.. more used than others?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You ain't going off alone into the Underdark because of a fuckin' coin now get your ass back here before I get mad.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I also have detect thoughts at my disposal. I could do that.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If nothing else, it'll tell us which ones aren't getting used at all.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;If they all sound quiet...then they're either bugging out, or they're lying in wait.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Settle..&quot; =_=;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Firaira, that's your cue.&quot;

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;What are you, my dad?&quot;

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">But she checks.

Firaira:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+16 = 4 + 16 = 20&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; Survival!!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Would it be a Search check to determine how well-used the doors are? Or arch&amp;engineering?

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyone else has tracking skill, get to it.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 17 + 14 = 31&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; survival!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 13 + 8 = 21&#160; <font color="#660033">&#187; Spot check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Nope.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Tavia usually helps with this.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">They seem equally well-used.

GM:<font color="#000000">And all unlocked.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;No indication here.. Maybe we should just follow the right wall, and clear this place out?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Didn't the plans say anything about this?&quot;|

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean, they showed the fucking patrol routes.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Relative locations of the doors. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Interestin.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Wait, so both east and west lead to the same hallway with four doors, or there's four doors total, two east and two east? :.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wouldn't something that important be in the center? as guarded as possible?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt Searches door 2, taking 10. &#171; &#160;10+18 = 10 + 18 = 28&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for anything resembling a trap.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oh, nevermind.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not necessarily...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">That answers my question. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends on how the fortress was built.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">East and west lead to the same hallway with four doors. The four doors are split into two groups, two east and two west. :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actually... hmm. Can the dog track?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm...de koin iz...not so good vith more dan two choices...&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">Whers your koin god now....

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Oi, I said it's only good when there's two choices!

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Uhg.&quot; She facepalms.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; The patrol routes only showed -outside- the fortress. &quot; Gnogglebolt replies to Miron as he checks out the door for '''traps. :B'''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Does it look clear to him?

GM:<font color="#000000">No traps.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I SEARCH FOR TRAPS!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No booby-traps that I can see.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I ROLLED A TWENTY, THAT MEANS I FIND ALL THE TRAPS!

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Right then, we've wasted enough time.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain grabs the handle of door 2.

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Agreed. Form up!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;One of the door's bound to smell like one of the cleric's hand.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Techy should get it, at least. =3=

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">He twists and throws (or pulls) the door open and steps back, with his hands up.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Wow, he's almost as ridiculously stupid as I am.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">ALMOST.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(yes I got it, Ram. x3 )

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Er, hands up in a fighting pose, that is. Eldritch energy and all. He just opened door 2 all the way.


 * Shankfang the Deffrider finds all zero traps.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Gun up!


 * Gamal-Junayd will slip inside as soon as it's open, weapons at ready

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Locked and loaded!

GM:<font color="#000000">The door opens to a stairwell, and a narrow passage at the bottom of the stairs. Lemme prepare to vworp folks. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">... especially since the passage as it stands is too narrow for fatparty. :B *brick'd*

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">x3

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">We could form a 1x20 line?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Dibs on first. *bricked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe we should split. If the corridors are thin... we won't get any advantage in numbers, quite the opposite.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY! &gt;:O

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;In fact, that is the reason underground fortresses get built like this - to hold off a superior force by funneling them down chutes.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I think a good navigation program would be a back-and-forth button lock. Player gets their base movement for a round, clicks done. DM takes time to narrate new scene, or springs traps, or just clicks 'done'. Player tokens rinse repeat. Yeah.. yeah that would be a nice thing to have exist. =w=;


 * Dr. Hatari dreams.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;How do ve know if all de doors lead to de same place?&quot; :.

GM:<font color="#000000">Solution get! Please head over to Duergar Fortress while I fetch a Rin. :3

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We don't, which is double the reason.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Loadin'.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The group which finds the way to the summoning grid signals everyone else.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Hey Tomiko, swap places with me? :B

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Quiet. Empty passage.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;A line ten long won't help us in any way, quite the worse - if we'll need to retreat, we'll step on our own necks.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Keep moving. We've got to find that conjuring point.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I think Vonain is right, they're either pulling out or setting up an ambush.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Say &quot;red rock&quot; when you've loaded!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's not give the anymore time than we already have. Forward!&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You're kind of shrimpy to be front line, don't you think? &gt;.&gt;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Red Rock

GM:<font color="#000000">Everyone else please halt while other people load in.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Red rock?

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">rock the red?

GM:<font color="#000000">That's three.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Red rover red rover, send rock right over.

GM:<font color="#000000">Just a random phrase not often said that could ensure people had loaded. :B There's four!

GM:<font color="#000000">Ghost, Ram, VAE?


 * Dr. Hatari enjoys Tathi's new token image.

VAE:<font color="#000000">What aobut us?

GM:<font color="#000000">You loaded? Say red rock if so.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">:3

VAE:<font color="#000000">Not yet

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Red rock.

GM:<font color="#000000">:3 is not red rock. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">48/65

GM:<font color="#000000">Okay. :P

GM:<font color="#000000">VAE's loading... Railock?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Red Rock and Roll!

GM:<font color="#000000">Oh, derp, it was Ram. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">red rock

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

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

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


 * VAE copied him

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... Where -did- Miron disappear to, I thought I copied him. XD

VAE:<font color="#000000">You didn't

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Everyone got their token?

VAE:<font color="#000000">otherwise he'd ahave a 1 next to his name now

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;But den say dey all lead to far distant locations. Now de group is far seperated und easier to pick off.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Still got the magic for another big fight. And a half, maybe.&quot; He glances to Tathi. &quot;You?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Token Got

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Token Got

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Can has token.

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;Two doors, curved passage going right.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I'm actually running a bit low, thanks to their immunities and resistences.. and our melee group's tenacity for running up and face-hugging them. That limits me even further.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Can't be helped much in a group this size, I guess.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Two doors, curved passage going right,&quot; the other drow repeats back.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt double-checks his belt. Yep, still running (and he slots in a new vial of incindigas as needed. Can count how many he used at the end of this all.)

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can still pack a punch, if needed, though could be better.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Silly magic users running out of spells. :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Let's check the door on the right.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Check doors as you pass. We can't miss that circle.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy still hef enuff ammo for an army.&quot; :B

Miron:<font color="#000000">You call me silly magic user to my face, I'll make you roll on the ground squealing like a pig.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We need to find the conjuring circle. That should be our first priority, getting there as fast as possible should be our goal.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Try it, I'll pump you full of lead before you get the chance.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">how..warm is the first dooe?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyone have a way to see on the other side of doors without opening them?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom keeps his evil-detecting sight up during the march. He expects it to find nothing, considering.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So instead of going through the place, we're rolled up in a marching column.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Well, you do find me. &gt;:D

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oi. Quit bickering and wasting time! Tomiko, Gamal, what's with those doors?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Just my demon-slayer's sight.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Warm, but not uncomfortably so. The walls are about as warm.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;?&quot; She glances to the door frankly.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">We're...not bickering. That's all ooc. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi? Any...hrm. Magic? Any magic you have that can see around doors?&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Indeed.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She steps over and tries to open it roughly.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Just some bullshit room. Clear.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">It swings open to a room with boxes of arrows, and a burning fire pit.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Firepit.&quot; Vonain reports.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Move on. The next door if you please, Tomiko?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I'm letting them search. I'll do a check if asked.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Well, more ammo for the archers. :B

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;No doors.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If there's nothing inside, press on.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right, next one.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd opens this one

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She waits for Gamal to help before trying the right side of the next, larger doors.

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;Door around the corner, leading right.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Exactly the trouble I thought - a large force isn't worth a chicken's arse if it can't deploy.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Looks to be an armory.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Armory. Clear.&quot; Vonain reports immediately, in clear tones.


 * Tomiko Lazarus peeers.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ooh, hennytink goot?&quot; :o

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Press on down the corner.&quot; Seems he's done things like this before.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Saw some stairs to the south.&quot;

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;Altar.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What altar? Hextor, Laduguer, or?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anything enchanted in there?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Uhh.. neither of them. Just a platform with a stone chest on it.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain peeks his head through the doorway. &quot;Wait, there's a set of stairs and another door.&quot;

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can't tell. Any mages or religion experts feeling brave?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Altonor, was it? You said never go down if we can help it.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;So all doors first, I presume.&quot;

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;The stairs lead up.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can.. when the line moves far enough so I can go fucking in.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">blah. &gt;_-

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;If de chest iz locked, Hy hef my master key.&quot; :B


 * Shankfang the Deffrider holds up Rose.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Plz make clickable? :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Treasure chests can wait..&quot; =w=;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">(in the future, I mean)

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Assume all staircases go up unless noted. :B

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;What Thomas says. Everyone, put gathering crap out of your minds. This is business, now. Our lives are on the line. Shiny things aren't worth it.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well. This person is curious. Are the weapons in the armory in any way remarkable?

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's check everything on one level first before going to another level.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Or are they just Kellon iron blades n such?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What altar it is could tell us what we're likely to face.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">They're mostly glaives, actually. Glaives and flails.


 * Tomiko Lazarus is unconcerned then.

GM:<font color="#000000">A mage would have to sweep the room for more.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Try the door through the armory, like someone suggested earlier. We've kept to the left so far, let's keep doing it. Keep to one wall, go all the way around.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">I have perma-detect magic.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Anything lighting up?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Fine.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">A few +1's.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain says nothing.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">But does the altar light up?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She lays a hand on the armory room's new door. But doesn't open it until more people are at her back.

GM:<font color="#000000">Actually, yes, now that you mention it. There's something glowing within the altar.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain heads into the next armory room door.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Move yer arses.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Sure you don't want that master key? :P

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain stops for a moment, and stares straight at the altar for twenty seconds.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">His eberows furrow in concentration.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">*eyebrows

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..?&quot; Unless the altar has an evil aura, Tom ignores it.

GM:<font color="#000000">It's an odd aura, too. Not a mere +1 weapon or anything. Divination, abjuration, and transmutation mixed in one.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Summdink in de chest?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+21 = 15 + 21 = 36&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Religion and &#171;  &#160;1d20+18 = 4 + 18 = 22&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Spellcraft on the altar.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Well duh.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Nothing conjuration, so.... Vonain then shakes his head.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Nothing important.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Not what we're looking for.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is it, Radiant?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Keep moving.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">actuall, 23 on spellcraft.

Miron:<font color="#000000">(+19)

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">That's enough backup for her tastes. Tomi opens the next door.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain looks up at Altonor and leans in to whisper.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom beckons to the others. &quot; Come, now. Don't get flanked by a patrol.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye) whispers: &quot;It was weird, though. Three magical schools at once. Divination, abjuration, and transmutation. But no conjuration, so it's not a relevant objective at the moment.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye) whispers: &quot;We can investigate it later.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">It looks like dwarven stonework all right, and there are signs of Laduguer's handiwork in the symbol on the base. Spellcraft won't tell you much if you don't detect magic.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain looks in the new room.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Okay, spitting one Detect Magic on it.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Big firepit room. Another door on the far side.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Firepit. Clear. Another door. Keep moving.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Divination is exactly the kind of thing we need to know about, Radiant. &quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Stay alert.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain then turns back to Altonor, then looks back at the chest.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, strike what I said earlier. Shankfang, was it?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Laduguer's altar still here .. hope that doesn't mean a bunch of duergar.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;If you're brave, open it up.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom sighs, and grudgingly allows it.


 * Shankfang the Deffrider levels Rose at the lock.


 * Thomas Lazarus watches.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hold hyu ears!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Or not.&quot; =3=

VAE:<font color="#000000">And I said detect magic on it.

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor recites a brief formula and wipes his eyes.


 * Tomiko Lazarus levels a bland look at Shankfang. &quot;...&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE - You get the same results Vonain did. There's a magic item in that altar -- something glowing with divination, abjuration, and transmutation.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait for what? I already looked at it, and it's got some divination in it. Altonor says we should look out for something like that. Open it up if you please, mister orc. Mind any traps.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Firink!&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Nevermind our little Amayan friend; why do you bring that overgrown boy with you into dangerous places?&quot; =_=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Which one?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not only divination..&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">BANG! &#171; &#160;1d20+20 = 20 + 20 = 40&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;4d6+2 = 15 + 2 = 17&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Force damage on the lock!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Can't criticval an object, sadly. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Aww...

GM:<font color="#000000">... Well, you've just blown a very clean bullet-sized hole in a stone chest. What now?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I would know. :B

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">As a gun is fired at a chest as the first solution to opening it, even before seeing if it is locked, Tomi just gestures with a flat palm and stares back at Sszeyl.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">In the -lock-.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's a lot more stuff stuck there.. I sure aren't touching it.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Open! :D

GM:<font color="#000000">*... Well, you've just blown a very clean bullet-sized hole in a stone lock. What now?

GM:<font color="#000000">It's not opening.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The koin probably told him to.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Abjurative and transformative spells, for one. The first are classic traps.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not detecting any magic traps, so if you can stand maybe poison needles, go ahead and open it, Shankfang.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs his ears. =_=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We should get one of the drow do it.'

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They can withstand magic, for one.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm, Hy tink dere is more den de lock closink it.&quot; :.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I just said there's no magic traps.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000"> &quot;And they won't be missed if they can't&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I guess it's up to the experts.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shoot the hinges, shankfang!&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">You just jammed the lock, silly. The lock is set into the chest, it's not a padlock.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just make it quick.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Swallowtail, can you please try?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And I said I wouldn't be so sure.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He just.. moves Shankfang before he can dick around with it more. :B

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes thank you.&quot; =w=;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">It should literally have -blown out the lock-. =3=


 * Gamal-Junayd goes over and take shis tiem listening at door number 5 (Listen Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 1 + 1 = 2&#160;  &#187;)

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">What it should do.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">It's a very legit tactic when facing a lock. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">And what it actually did.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I'm now thinking of Tomi grabbing the chest, and bashing it on the wall

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Are different.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Welcome to DnD.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 20 + 10 = 30&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Open Lock...

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Click. &quot;That is how you open a lock.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's a locking mechanism made of stone by under-dwarves. For all you know it slides bars throughout the entire chest frame.


 * Shankfang the Deffrider will just stand over here and be useless, then. =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile, Gnogglebolt goes forward, and while everyone's messing at the altar, takes 20 at listening at the door. &#171; &#160;20+2 = 20 + 2 = 22&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Waiting for results...

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You can't just fire Rose at all of your problems.

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

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Takes 20

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well obviously you can but it won't work is the point.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I thought it was another rolled one

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Swallowtail cautiously opens the chest. &quot;... Strong people, here.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;It is a rock.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Step away, Swallowtail!&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus raises a brow.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;...A rock.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It can be dangerous!'

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;A rock ball.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Has a shield on it.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, no thanks for creativity to whoever made that. Obviously it does something but they didn't let it indicate what it--&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;What's the shield look like?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;A shield. Come look.&quot; =3=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+21 = 5 + 21 = 26&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Religion. Do such things have any place in worship of Laduguer?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And still crouching and listening...


 * Tomiko Lazarus loses interest and readies by the next door.

GM:<font color="#000000">No idea. Gnogglebolt, the door beyond is quiet. Watch your feet crossing the room, Tomi, it's hot in here and there are coals on the floor.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The coals need to watch out for me. &gt;:|

VAE:<font color="#000000">The second religion roll?

GM:<font color="#000000">As I said, no idea. You've not really heard any references to simple shield pictographs in Laduguer's scripture.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Thought no idea was to Gnogglebolt

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, unless anyone has a way to quickly determine what that thing does, I say leave it, because I don't want to carry around something with traces of divination on us. It could be some kind of tracker.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fucking odd. This isn't.. at least I don't know this has anything to do with their cult.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">It's a polished granite sphere, with a simple deeply-engraved drawing of a shield on it.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile, Gnogglebolt steps back from the door. &quot;I didn't hear anything.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;So.. what the fuck is it doing on an altar of the god of toil, I have no clue.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Fine. We'll pick it back up on the way out and store it in a bag of holding.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's proceed.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Leave it there, it might be unsafe.&quot;


 * Swallowtail nods and steps away.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Hmm, and I -almost- just changed my mind...


 * Tomiko Lazarus opens the next door.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If the Hextorians knew better than to grab it when they moved on us, we should ,too.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt checks his anti-teleport. Yep, still humming.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#000000">Onward! &gt;:3 -- hey!

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Does that stop things from teleporting in to its area?

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Or just out?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">TEENY RIN NO YOU'RE NOT A TANK! D:

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

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hallway, doors on all walls.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">but it ONLY affects Conjuration (teleportation)

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Bitch I have like a thousand hitpoints don't you know any Touhou?


 * Teeny Rin is bricked.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Summoning, calling, and everything else? Still works.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Great. Doors everywhere.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Another corridor, three doors.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Keep to the left wall.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Over here.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus doesn't argue with quick solutions.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Le open.

VAE:<font color="#000000">As an aside

VAE:<font color="#000000">All the fireplaces... are there chimneys?

GM:<font color="#000000">The hall beyond is far taller than the others. A massive statue of a kneeling duergar with closed eyes stands before you.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom, meanwhile, keeps his evil detecting sight on the other doors. He doesn't want to get ambushed through them.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Considering the underdark, it's probably smokeless coal.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;OOooo kay this looks like a hub.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd say we're on the right track.&quot;

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: There are evil auras to the south.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd almost say...straight accross here.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom flinches.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The fuck...&quot;

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;... What're those indents?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He hisses north, &quot;''I can feel them. South of us.&quot;''

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain whips around.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Brace down, everyone!&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;South? shit.&quot; he hustles to guard the south if he has any time to do so

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;About face! Let's get them!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then let's group and use surprise.&quot; *casts Light of Lunia + FD on himself*

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Fuckin' doors.&quot; She stares morosely at the gigantic statue.

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor is enveloped with pale necrotic light.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tomiko, get up there if you please?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt points at the door in question.


 * Tomiko Lazarus seems to be considering an argument, but walks over mutely.

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Guess it's unanimous, battle first.&quot; =3=

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">The Lazaruses open the door's sides!

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, well, well.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Does a charge attack count as an attack or a move for surprise rounds?

 * Tomiko Lazarus walks north.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm...I'd almost bet...that this door we havent been through would lead quickly back to door number three...and that 1 and 4 circle most of the engtire castle like battlements

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">:

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl tosses a canvas at Shankfang.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ack what-&quot; She blurts, catching the painting and peering at it.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom looks around for wounded, then nods with a smile at Ed. &quot;Good.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I agree, if we go through these unopened doors, we'll probably come around in a circle. Let's all go back to the room with the statue! It's clearly an important hub room, the conjure-circle's gotta be somewhere through there.&quot;


 * Swallowtail holsters her crossbow with a satisfied nod.

Swallowtail:<font color="#FF0000">This is probably the most milage ever gotten out of a 1d4 weapon ever.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Hey Thomas. -Would- they attach much religious and spectacle significance to such a conjuring circle?&quot;


 * Viceth nods at the now-empty room, before turning north. &quot;Masabel, you said something about indentations?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Depends on who 'they' are, I guess.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Hextorites and their devil-conjuring circle.&quot;

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, there were a circle of pits beneath the statue.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I don't know Duergar. Ask brother Miron; he seems to know. I just know it's probably an arcane gate.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Hrm. I suppose if they're the devil worshipping type, then, yes.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So my guess would be 'no'. But it is only a guess.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Would it be of exceptional significance to them in a symbolic way?&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd goes back and looks at the statue

Gamal-Junayd whispers: show me the puzzle of doom


 * Thomas Lazarus shakes his head slightly. &quot;Sorry. I'm out of my league on this question. I'm not sure.&quot;

You whisper to Railock: Aha, you read the message. :3

Gamal-Junayd whispers: yes I did. gamal is looking

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because if so, I would imagine that where every they put it...they would have put it somewhere central. Somewhere direct and imposing, rather than out of the way.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Shankfang's painting is...very strange. Not the least bit because it is set in a Dutch angle. Shankfang with the added garbe of a black leather greatcoat, and sunglasses, standing with Rose's barrel smoking in a shaft of light cast from a rose window decorated with Auran imagery. At his feet are bodies. An entire church of bodies, soldiers in black armor, brandishing weapons of every stripe, their blades or hafts broken violently, their armor pierced by many perfectly round holes, their faces uniformly asking 'Why?' in their lifeless expression. There is no smile on his face. An arrow with a silk ribbon shaft hangs from the rafters.

You whisper to Railock: Look south beyond the door. There's the puzzle setup. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And.... -if- there's nothing beneath that statue there, I say we go straight ahead through this room, instead of keeping left.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm. An interesting question. Laduguer worshippers usually don't have the sort of ties to Baator that Hextorians do, but this is very much a special case. The book you have looked into, it mentioned opening a gate for their lord, and things of that sort.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">On the back is the title: &quot;...For you stand upon holy ground.&quot; in auran.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It could very much be a heretic cult of his faith here.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu caught my goot side!&quot; :D

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Can anyone make out what these things might mean?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;In which case, that would make sense.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy like!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can try&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I was under the impression the duergar did not make the conjuring circle, and it was added b y the hextorites after they claimed this place?&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd points at the symbols in the hollows

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Tenk hyu Sszeyl!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You get Half-Orc hugs!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, if I understood it, the circle was here before Hextorites.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That is my suspicion. Duergar-make.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's why there has been constant trouble with devils in this town, before the Count's grandpa was born.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Thanks to Gamal paying attention and reading the clickable, anyone who looks at the statue's pedestal can see the indentations by scrolling down and looking beyond the door.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Hug'd.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Sounds powerful.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Scroll south. :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Broken arrow, sword, hammer, shield, ...book? Brick? can't tell very well. lump...crown...has to mean something&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait, shield?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:O

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Didn't we see a round thing with a shield -- yeah!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There was a shield on that piece of rock.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;De stone!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This... could be the way to arm something.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which rock? Where?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Fetchink!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Oh, hm. Well, if the conjuring circle was made by the duragar, who are much more architecturally defensively-minded, then maybe the...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The piece of granite in the altar.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Coming with you!&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;No going alone!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; He cradles his chin and raises a brow at the puzzle.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">...Wait.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah. Then...there could be 6 more pieces somewhere around here&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This.. I think I understand. The transformation and abjuration spells, they might act to create a safe passage to the summoning grid.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..So what is this? Are these doors sealed or some bullshit puzzle lock?&quot; She rests hands on her waist.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Search of traps!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Hammer and stone shall forge the crown. Didn't the notebook say something like that?&quot; :.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The transformative component opens it, while the abjurative one makes sure the one who operates it doesn't get possessed or otherwise hurt by direct contact with the plains of hell that such a large portal incurs.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Shoot. I don't remember at all, but good catch, Ed.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Part of the riddle, isn't it?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;At least, that's my best guess. The markings.. they were probably added for convenience of whoever was intent on opening the passage.&quot;

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

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Do I find any traps? :o

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What were the other bits -- Hey Gnogglebolt, you've got the translation, what does it say?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not much of a riddle. More like... an alchemic recipe. It requires doing things in the right order.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">The most brutal trap of all.

GM:<font color="#000000">NOTHING. *brick'd*

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah...yeah it said something like that!&quot; Gnogglebolt gets out the sheets of paper with the decrypted notes.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">NOOOTHIIIIING!

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But what does it do?&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">hold up please

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Well then.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">STONE GET!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">last I saw

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">I can't tell you the profound joy the player felt when Liatai did the Metalocalypse gift meme I always do.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Open the way, Tomi.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Open it in a safe manner.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Can someone whisper me anything that was said?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She shrugs and walks to the north door. She tries to open it gently at first, rather expecting a lock.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Someone aside from me?

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

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I-

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Running back with stone!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Tathi's painting is set at dusk. Outside, on a hill looking out at town built at the base of a mountain. She is seated at a table with an oddly disinterested look on her face upon a chair sculpted from the very stones. A table similarly crafted is at her side, and on it is a dead black rat, with another black rat sitting near it and staring at the corpse. She has an elbow resting on the table, with the hand held aloft, and white light pouring from between her fingers.... And high above, in the clouds, are massive balls of fire, with white rocks at their cores, each the size of the Pelor temple but seen from a distance, falling through the sky, toward the town. One leg of the stone table has an arrow with a silk ribbon for a shaft carved into it. On the back is the title: &quot;Meddle not in the affairs of wizards.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+21 = 15 + 21 = 36&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge (religion) just to check - do I know any sects of Laduguer worship who also worship devils, or some other relevant information.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Assuming I didn't set off any traps I couldn't find, of course. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No lock. We can assume Gnogglebolt is searching his pack. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">aaack what the hell

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Well, Miron, the broken arrow should look familiar.

Miron:<font color="#000000">It does -the symbol of Laduguer himself.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Okay, can someone please whisper me -everything- from the -first- time I DC'd?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Miron: &quot;The transformative component opens it, while the abjurative one makes sure the one who operates it doesn't get possessed or otherwise hurt by direct contact with the plains of hell that such a large portal incurs.&quot; You have disconnected.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Okay.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sec.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Hurry please in case I DC again?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">oh, thank you

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi looks oddly at the painting for a bit.. &quot;Your style is improving, I see.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy hef de stone!&quot; :D

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well if you do DC you'll just request more anyways so it's not a rush.. :B


 * Shankfang the Deffrider looks at Tathi's painting.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:o

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Nize.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So you think this statue is on top of some passage?&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I'd rather have the mini-chunks than a huge one if it can be avoided.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either that, or the magic will open it somewhere near.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Huh. It opened even without dicking around with the puzzle-lock..&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She steps into the room to check the corners.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Looks clear.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah. If you were sure it was just underneath, I'd almost say maybe we should have tomi bust the statue open for us.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vill hyu efer be able to aktually do dat, Taddi?&quot; :o

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aha! Here they are.&quot; Gnogglebolt gets out the decrypted pages for real.

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I wonder. Six pieces... six doors. The shield corresponds with the southern door.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">What did the passage say again?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">See, this is why you players need to keep notes.


 * Liatai is brick'd.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">If you guys don't have it, I'll have to assume it's lost. =3=

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh.. Oh wow. I don't think we even need to worry about clearing this place.. seeing how we might very well HAVE to.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">In-character excuse to not keep notes WOOO

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">In-character excuse to not keep notes WOOO

RAM:<font color="#990000">Suddenly, devil bats fly out through the door!


 * Dr. Hatari is bricked.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">No, this is why I specifically have my character cart around the plot-relevant stuff so DM can repeat it on request. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">But fiiiiine. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">No, no, this is why YOU need to keep notes.

RAM:<font color="#990000">&quot;I thought you said it was clear!&quot; &gt;:O

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I am not your secretary. :P

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">oh I missed that sorry

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She just takes it easy and looks around at the big empty pillar room while waiting on the others to finish being fascinated by puzzles.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Last I saw, if there was anything after that.

VAE:<font color="#000000">most importantly

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">All you missed was Shankfang saying 'Tathi~' without quotes.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;So.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">The lord shall gaze upon the truth

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hammer and stone shall forge the crown

Glitch:<font color="#000000">GM:The book offers a few cryptic phrases; &quot;the lord shall gaze upon the truth,&quot; &quot;hammer and stone shall forge the crown,&quot; and &quot;the name of our lord shall open the door...&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">yep, all that

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy bet dat dere is a stone like dis vun trough each uf de doors sumvere.&quot; :.

GM:<font color="#000000">This chamber's ceilings are even higher than the other ones, a good fifty to sixty feet high and sloping upward. Your footsteps echo loudly.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;...Great, so we have to waste time on a scavenger hunt.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Looks like moar painting while searching.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Yaaay.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It also means the inner chamber is sealed quite well, and those in it, too.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well unless that statue backflips and reveals a giant-ass pot of treasure somewhere, I think we came down here looking for more important shit.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;There are still doors ahead.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy guess ve are goink North.&quot; :B

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I wish we could just blow this statue out of the way, but I've been in this business long enough to know that if the builder's bothered to put such a lock on it, they've put defensive measures on it to prevent tampering or bypassing.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good. We need to find more of those damn rocks, regardless.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl sets this one on fire. =3=

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Maybe.. I'll worry about that when we run out of doors.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Vonain, if my deductions are right, this thing exists as much for the convenience of its user than as a deterrent.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">EEEEEH, that's good enough.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looks like everyone's going north.&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus trudges. =3=;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Think of it as enforcing a protective ritual that has to be done right .&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You'

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You're skipping doors.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;In a manner that even a brain-addled duergar can get right.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know. theres a problem with the 6 doors for 6 symbols theory. theres 7 symbols. one in the middle.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The 'follow the left wall' suggestion was the best.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;No ve ain't.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It might be that we don't need a central one - notice the two nearby have a hammer and a stone.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;A goot point.&quot; :.


 * Viceth nods to Miron.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">See this is why we always say you're lawful. Your player is too lawful to break these kinds of habits. *bricked*

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl paints speedily. :U

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Which Liatai finds annoying.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">And I'm sorry for that.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wonder. if tomi went one way, I another, altonor a third, masabel a fourth, sszeyel a fifth...and everyone else stayed here. Who'd come back with the biggest kill count.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;The devils would.&quot; Tathi says simply.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Or who vould kome back at all.&quot; =3=

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It would probably be a tie between me and the devils.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Another large, echoing chamber.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">....for some reason, that comment just made me want to say something really nasty back that I just bit my tongue for. Please don't say things like that anymore, Hatari. Not in the mood, I feel very snappy all of a sudden.

You whisper to VAE: It appears to be a duergar king, by its garments.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">I -never- get good rolls on those things. :c

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Who's slow?&quot; &gt;:O

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Also..... the figure appears to be a duergar king of some sort. And the book said &quot;The lord shall gaze upon the truth.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;You.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;...The lord shall... gaze upon the truth?&quot;

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm, yes. But the statue's eyes were closed.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;We should.. look around the place where the statue's staring at. Vonain, you can fly, right?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;....&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Even altonor has a horse to help him.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well welcome to how I always feel dealing with your attitude. Deal.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Wasn't that statue's eyes closed?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy find it hard to belief hyu kould handle de devils ve are facink in any kind of signifikant number by hyuself.&quot; =3=

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then it'd be gazing on the insides of its eyelids.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe it's worth you fly up there, and examine it.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy kould shoot dem out.&quot; :B

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I can cover more ground that you, punk!&quot; &gt;:O

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't break it.. yet&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I think it's likely that collecting the items for the lock will make the statue's eyes open.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Later den?&quot; :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speaking of Altonor..Altonor. You were the one to down the first puppy outside the gates, and I said I'd cook somethign up for the one who did. Anything you'd like? It is limited by ingredients available, and if I know the recipe. though if you can teach it to me, I'm willing to try and learn soemthing new.&quot;

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Truth is blind, perhaps...? Why would they write that in their codebook...&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus is paying like zero attention to the dungeon now. *bricked*

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It can be either.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But examining its eyes close-up still isn't a bad idea, while the rest of us scour this damn place.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy tought it vas Justice dat vas blind.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh? You didn't seem to mvoe very fast except for that sudden leap...and a short burst of speed every now and then really doesn't constitute as fast.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Justice has the sharpest sight of all.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;A puppy?&quot; The drow looks confused. &quot;-- Let's see if we make it out of here first, hah? Gives us both more time to think.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's keep moving, people.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Door open, please?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Like you don't have any mobility magic gear?!&quot; &gt;:O

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;Perhaps if the lord shall gaze upon the truth, it is not yet doing so...&quot;


 * Thomas Lazarus quietly facepalms in the back.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;those devilish puppy things, remember?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Ladies, ladies.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have some. But take it away..and I'm still faster than you.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">You're both pretty.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, what do you know. Another altar.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I think we know the drill now.&quot;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hah! Those were Nessian warhounds, not puppies!&quot; |D

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Miss Swallowtail, if you may please ply your craft?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nessian warhounds, puppies...same difference for how easily they went down.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Ladies.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Ladies.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;You're both pretty.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... There is no lock on this one.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Now stop shouting at each other.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Only a gong, a panel, and a hammer.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;De hammer und gong, mebbeh?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain walks towards the altar. Looking at the chest with detect magic and focusing, just for the heck of it.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;We aren't shouting. if we were shouting, you'd know.&quot;


 * Shankfang the Deffrider hefts the hammer and examines.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+21 = 13 + 21 = 34&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Religion on the altar and the inscriptions

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Does Detect Magic show anything -different- from the last altar?


 * Tomiko Lazarus fumes -- but becomes distracted by the altar.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">or is there an identical div/abj/trans object inside?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Or to clarify, the materials on the altar.

Miron:<font color="#000000">Anything Miron recognises as being a part of Laduguer's rites, and does it fit in what we're going for?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vat does de writink say?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That door..&quot;

You whisper to Glitch: You can see the same abjuration-divination-transmutation object inside... but also a strong abjuration effect on the altar.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Huh-oh.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I do not know.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Careful, folks.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Also, I speak dwarven

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&#171; &#160;1d20+15 = 19 + 15 = 34&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lemme have a closer look&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;This one's got a pretty strong abjuration on the altar itself.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's definitely adamantine.&quot; She approaches and kneels. &gt;:o

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Abjuration is...vat again?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Traps.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The magic of warding.&quot;

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;The magic of wards and guards.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Usually.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ah, Hy see.&quot; :.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;If someone's feeling brave, try striking the gong with the hammer.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">Taking 20 for 24 to examine the altar carefully.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm going to go stand over there.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll do it, but wait a moment.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Hokay!&quot; :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Heh. Nice, Vonain. XP

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy got it.&quot; :B

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">..She seems enamored. &quot;I want it.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She seems to give zero fucks about what the door is guarding. She just wants the door. Adventurers.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hold on, I need to see what people want what info. XD

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's so cool.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks at Vonain, then takes a few steps back himself.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Any results on the religion check, coupled with searching around the altar?

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I want this for my room.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">What room.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">You don't have a house.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I have every house.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Good thing you're not in Skylands. You'd probably try to steal Espada's Adamantine Fullblade. x3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you want it, just rip it off&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good luck doing that to adamantine.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">All I have to do is walk in first. *3*

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If anyone could....&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">VAE - You see a few symbols of Laduguer on the gong, on the hammer, and on the door itself... but you also see an intricate stone piping system behind the altar, as well.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's some sort of piping behind here.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gnogglebolt, you're an engineer, come have a look.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Piping?&quot; Gnogglebolt approaches again.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I .... My knowledge stops at chimney and forge.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The pipes go into the wall, and seem large enough in diameter to hold a sphere -- from the little you can see.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Dare I? *w*c

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He looks around the side and inspects. Knowledge (Arch&amp;Eng). &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 12 + 18 = 30&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; What's going on here?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And nobody hit anything... in fact, Shankfang, give me the hammer.&quot;


 * Liatai points up for Gnogglebolt. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know. I bet getting in there involves hitting the gong. And that. is gonna make a LOT of noise. So..how about we come back to this one last, so we don't send warning signals throughout the place that we are right here in this specific room&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Excellent idea, Gamal.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let's leave this one for last, folks.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Dibs on the door.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..What.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;You may have the door if you can carry it out of here.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Then that settles it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000"> &quot;Why..&quot;

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot;On the door?&quot; |3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hokay.&quot; Shankfang puts the hammer back. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come on, let's go back to the hub and continue circling around.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It's Duergar-forged adamantine.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor pockets the hammer, for the time being.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hah, nice try, Miron.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;See if there's any non-gong altars we can nab stones from.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Do you have any idea how rare and high-quality that is? It's ancient.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The hammer's nearly as big as you are. :P

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">put it in gnoggles pack

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm gonna need bigger pockets.&quot;

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fuck.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nice response. Very nice. XP

Miron:<font color="#000000">Leaves it there, frowns.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;And you know....what the book says..makes perfect sense. Of course if you have materials...thus rock. and skills and tools, thus hammer...crowns, or anything at all is easily enough forged.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas checks out this other corridor.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Door open!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Clear..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot; I doubt what you read there was a duergar attempt at philosophy.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is getting kind of spooky. This is a huge fortress -- why is it so deserted?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Forces on the surface, not here.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Over here, everyone...&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd opens the door him and vonain are next too

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't like it either... but ... it can't be a trap, can it?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They seemed genuinely surprised.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Obviously, they heard we were coming, so sent all their forces to make the assault on the pelorite temple&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Anything could be a trap.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;There's nothing for it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which is what I was saying all along, Gamal.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Either be perceptive enough to see it coming, or powerful enough to survive it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But nobody fucking listened.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Orrr they could be dead.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nobody.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Dead.. what from?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Quit being fatalistic. God, I can't stand hearing you people groan and lament.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Behave.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;I ususally tune them out.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm not fatalistic as much as disappointed.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, if we take down the circle, we can still stop the invasion before it spills over into other cities&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#000000">The rectangle. IT IS COMPLETE.

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

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


 * Teeny Rin is brick'd.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">... :B

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And then, call in our colleagues. This is an emergency on a country-wide scale.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd opens the door

Glitch:<font color="#000000">rage 'n stuff.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:o

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Now, what do we have here...?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vat is dis?&quot; :.


 * Gamal-Junayd looks over

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey...what do those runes say oin those stones?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lemme see&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Approach.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt stares at the diagram. &quot;?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Le look att.

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor rattles off the text on the rune table.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas spots a puzzle.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...&quot; =3=;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anybody here speak Dwarven? Those look like Dwarven runes to me.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas guards the elves in the back.

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

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yeah.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gets closer and tries to read.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;As do I.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I do... the rock have .. material names on them.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, thanks, Miron.&quot; The DM didn't notice you translated. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't really know mettalurgy...but...could those be the ingredients to making steel? could it perhaps be a puzzle where you put them together in the order needed as if you were smithing?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Black for coal, white on lime, red for iron, silver for steel and the flecky ones for scrap&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They could.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Coal and iron make steel...but how does it relate here?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Scrap, heated with lime.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's how one purifies it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;At least, that's what I recall&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Well, where would they fit on the diagram then?&quot;


 * Altonor is not his DF self and thus knows naught of metallurgy. =3=;c Off to guard...

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Which end is 'up' on the diagram anyway?

Miron:<font color="#000000">Alchemy, bitches

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Three holes, or two?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Up is north.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;then on the diagram...white for materials..red for heat and material? I...do'nt really know. here&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I know technology, not...metallurgy.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;that'd do.. lemme see&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Gnogglebolt knows metals.&quot;


 * Shankfang the Deffrider stands back to watch.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Coal, lime and scrap to give iron... iron, coal and fire to give steel..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Knowledge (arch&amp;engine) &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 20 + 18 = 38&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; and Craft (alchemy) &#171;  &#160;1d20+24 = 1 + 24 = 25&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; to figure out how the diagram and stones relate to the metalworking process.


 * Liatai bites knuckles. This is that puzzle... ^^;;;; *brick'd*

Glitch:<font color="#000000">ah. :B

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... So you can plug material stones into the diagram. And they lead to fires.. or combine.. The solution is probably to make the diagram correct. Like a crossword, almost. But with materials. ... Maybe?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That would work... Good point, Gamal.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">She muses.

Miron:<font color="#000000">:&quot;Yep.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">'That' puzzle?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Like I said... and it'd be stuff known to every duergar.&quot;

You whisper to Glitch: Luckily, your 20 negates your 1. I can give you the solution if you like. :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Duergar like dwarves would be raised around smithing, wouldn't they?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;So..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They are.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;How does double fire work out?&quot;

Gnogglebolt whispers: sure. :3 This does seem a harder puzzle for someone to solve without specific knowledge rather than a general logic puzzle...

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Toil is their life.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They're even more industrious than regular dwarves.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Industrious, and stupider.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;To the exclusion of almost anything else in life.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;They are to dwarves like the drow are to elves, really.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Whole dedication to building is their society. It's kind of impressive.. if terrible to imagine as your own life.&quot;

You whisper to Glitch: The fires are seperate forges on the diagram. Left side, top to bottom; lime, iron, coal. Right side; either steel, iron, or scrap, and last, steel.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt seems to be looking back and forth between the stones and the diagram...

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Steel should be the final output.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt suddenly snaps his fingers. &quot;I got it!&quot;


 * Masabel opens her mouth angrily at Miron's comment, but Viceth calmly holds up a hand in her direction.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh? you do? Speak up then.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He suddenly snatches up five of the stones and moves over to the diagram.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So.. iron and coal.. lots of heat.. lime..? Hmm..&quot; She rubs her chin.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">This isn't going to end well.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I've never actually smithed anything myself. I would probably fuck up the process somewhere.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;yep. Steel's the one up right.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The final one.&quot;

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot; (Merely venting spleen, as he is entitled to. It's only water,) &quot; he says to Masabel in an Elven undertone.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Below that, I'd put coal - you need to heat iron to forge after all.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt slots a lime-stone into the top-left hole, an iron-stone into the middle-left hole, and a coal-stone into the bottom-left hole.

Gamal-Junayd whispers: recomendation. for a puzzle like this, I would of included the 10 stones with all player control, so people could experiment around with it. if you do somethign like this next time

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Then he puts a scrap-stone into the top-right hole, and a steel-stone into the bottom-right stone.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Where goes scrap? Bottom right? It seems terminal.&quot;

Masabel:<font color="#000000">&quot; (Someone needs to shut off the spigot.) &quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Or maybe scrap is finished product.&quot;

You whisper to Railock: I thought about that, just couldn't find appropriate spheres... one moment. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt then steps back.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends.&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus grumbles. &quot;This is too relative to interpretation!&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm...perhaps gnoggle and a few guards should remain here to figure this out, while the rest of us look around more.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just put in the stones, Gamal, and if I'm right, something's about to happen...&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, unless you aren't.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;But my guess is as good as yours.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">The stones spit out at the party for 15d10 fire damage, no save.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">V:

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could totally survive that over half the time.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ack, remove quotes

VAE:<font color="#000000">Also, Lia, brilliant puzzles and stuff.

GM:<font color="#000000">Is this correct?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I really really really like this dungeon

VAE:<font color="#000000">No

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Who knows; the orbs have tokennames. :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lime needs to be fired

VAE:<font color="#000000">should be where the marble is

VAE:<font color="#000000">i.e. in place of coal

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">okay. having a java issue, I am going to have to shut down maptools and reopen I think

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">From top to bottom on the left side; lime, iron, and coal...and top to bottom on the right, scrap and steel....

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">having bursts of lag as java pushes my 6 core processor to 100% use

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(granted I'm just going off what my knowledge checks gave me. :B )

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">XTREME Java

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">See, I was worried about this puzzle, because I really have no clue. x3 I was just going off the Internet.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Heh. VAE is going off his own fragmentary knowledge (and initial confusion at what scrap meant) ... wich sounds fairly realistic for Miron's rusty knowledge

Liatai:<font color="#000000">But I couldn't well ask the engineers without giving it away. XP But anyway!

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

GM:<font color="#000000">You hear the stones above you shift... There's a grinding of stone and clinking of chain...


 * Gamal-Junayd backs to the edge fo the room

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I don't know -anything- about metalworking myself except &quot;put carbon into iron and get steel somehow&quot; :B

GM:<font color="#000000">And then, silence. Then, a rolling noise.

GM:<font color="#000000">Rrrrllrlllrlllrrrrrll -- THUNK.

VAE:<font color="#000000">I do... I had materials science


 * Tomiko Lazarus perks. owo

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;That worked, it'd seem&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Haven't had that quite yet.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or we die.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe both. maybe working IS us dying.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">A panel opens beneath the puzzle in the wall, and out rolls a polished rock sphere. This one's just as heavy as the last one, and has a hammer inscribed on it.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Tech, how?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I hear machine noises. Did you do it?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Gnogglebolt's on fire.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt steps forward to the open panel.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;So I think so.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He reaches in, and hefts out the stone. &quot;Ah got it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Metaphoric fire, of course.&quot; :B

VAE:<font color="#000000">How many years does US college take?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Looks like the hammer-stone.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#660033">(( Depends on the degree. ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Good.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Completely subjective to your pacing.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Four is common.

GM:<font color="#000000">As a side note, if you'd failed this puzzle, that's what the big freaking hammer tokens were for. :B *brick'd*

Sszeyl: <font color="#660033">(( Associate 2, Bachelor 4, Master's like...8? Doctorate is 12. :V ))

Glitch:<font color="#000000">haw. xD

Sszeyl: <font color="#660033">(( *brick'd* ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Now we need the stone one&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Stone get!

VAE:<font color="#000000">what hammer tokens?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Next doors!&quot;


 * VAE perception fail

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Nice work back there. Don't know what we would have done without a few engineering sorts along.&quot; :3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">No, not perception fail

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Lia asked for images of hammers this morning. :B

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Get frustrated and break doors, prolly.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Broke something, and called it a day.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know your sort.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm actually impressed at the workmanship here.&quot;


 * Gamal-Junayd opens the door

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I almost wish I could get to know who built this place.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Listen check, Gamal.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They've got classy taste.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">-- Actually, hold on, I'll be right back. ^^;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Classy? This?&quot;


 * Tomiko Lazarus looks at Gnogglebolt in bewilderment.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Don't you know anything about Duergar?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You should have seen a *real* dwarven city, you tit&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">listen to hear the doom beyond (Listen Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 6 + 1 = 7&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;)

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt catches Thomas's Eye.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I said almost.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is just a poor imitation of their underground halls.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Wha?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">ACH

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt catches Tomiko's eye.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I said almost.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">So, gonna have to go to bed soon. Just found out I have a mort op in the morning, so I gotta be up kinda early. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, I know duergar are in league with the drow, and helped them with that war over a century ago.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Delicious dead bodies full of bombs.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm just saying, they're darn good architects.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Mmm, boooombs...

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not only that... and they aren't.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is the best place I've seen in my visit to Akellon so far.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Their skill ends at making a hole in solid stone.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&#171; &#160;1d20+8 = 3 + 8 = 11&#160; <font color="#660033">&#187; Listen check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">:V

Ghostwish whispers: 30 minutes. ^^;;;;;;;;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Their methods are stupid and toil-intensive, and they lack any real architecture. For every tunnel you see here, several probably broke down because of shit worksmanship.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hmph. You might as well ask what genus of elf makes the finest crossbows.&quot;

Ghostwish whispers: I think. Not sure when I clocked out. XP

Ghostwish whispers: *shambles away to get caffaine* |P

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Having lived with Duergar coming and going for several decades, I can say they have skill.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;They just don't use it on things that are unimportant to them.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You only say that because you haven't seen a dwarven architect at work.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;There are dwarves in Mazio, by the way.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's like calling someone who can cast five hundred cantrips a day an archmage.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I've seen what they can do. They are indeed wonderful architects and make many great contributions back home.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you had, then you wouldn't melt all over this blasphemous arse og a place.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">*of

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Open the door.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl opens the door.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But those are always the kind of contributions in a place that's, you know, used to them. This is the first place in Akellon I've seen that displays something approaching what we have back home.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;You seem to forget I know dwarvish work enough to replicate it on paintings.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">:V

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And you guys know Lia's gone again?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Right?

Sszeyl: <font color="#660033">(( Yep. ))

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You might know, but do not understand.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;I will admit that.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Every race, no matter how degenerate, has something to contribute to the greater whole. It's simply a matter of whether or not they can do so without harming others. It's one of the many aspects of the stances of good and evil.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm! Well-said, Tathi.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, right.So, what great contribution do the barbed devils make?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I'm oddly verbose when I first wake up. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt grins, and looks at shankfang.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or the drow, for that matter? A contribution of treason, maybe. That is their skill, I admit.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Target practice!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Target practice!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Said as one.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">They said that both at the same time.


 * Thomas Lazarus raises a brow.

Miron:<font color="#000000">. . . The inquisitor actually laughs.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;They hold back the abyssal tides.&quot;


 * Shankfang the Deffrider spins Rose on his finger, grinning.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Mmkay, reading up.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's enough.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;And the abyssal tides hold the devils in check. And we'd be better off without both.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And yeah, that too. I've heard they're up to a huge war down below. Good for us.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Drow live and breathe magic. Their urge to murder each other for power means they are pushing boundaries that perhaps would not be pushed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A shame our world creates both of them, then, isn't it?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;A shame indeed, though the demons existed before any of our races.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....I thought the otherplanar entities existed since the dawn of our world?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well the Tanar'ri are this world's doing. Ancient history is a different story.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The evils of chaos are the root of all evil in the world, as such.Without them, there'd be no need for the nine hells.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tanar'ri maybe, but not the obyriths of old.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;--Excuse me.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...I'm actually curious, where does that come from, Hatari? :.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is there a bar in the way or what.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Both. There are two

Liatai:<font color="#000000">oKAY -- *clears throat*

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Yeah, it was Violet the bull terrier. She is not shy, and she wanted attention.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Problem is she knows that trying to climb on me and dominance-hump me gets my attention fast. =w=;;;;;;;;;;;

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;Blade traps,&quot; Altonor groans. &quot;I hate blade traps.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">:.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Maybe I can find some way to jam the mechanism.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Vonian can fly in the gaps of the blade's arcs.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Enjoy trying to jam it.

You whisper to Glitch: Gnogglebolt can see a switch on the far wall -- possibly the disabling mechanism.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I have +22 in Disable Device.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Skip to my loooo.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Might as well get one of the other drow to do it.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Actually... the duergar are the only race I know which makes switches sturdy enough to make it through that sort of treatment&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Gamal, you made it past the first one, but yikes, that was close! You lost a few bandages.

GM:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl's not so lucky with the second one. Luckily, you have Evasion, so you only take half of &#171; &#160;8d6 = 23&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; damage.


 * Tomiko Lazarus takes an extra bite every now and then, watching through a squint. &quot;Man, you guys are stupid.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">And again.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; No, Shankfang!&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Make yerself useful, Shank.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi just sighs, facepalming and shaking her head.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shooting the switch is not likely to engage it.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He's cut again.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Duergar switches are hard enough... and it can't hurt to try.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl, stop!&quot; the bard yells in the same instant.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gamal! Are you on the other side? Hit the switch!&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Well, Gamal is already across. =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt breaths sigh of releif.

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl walks the rest of the way.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">You made a gunslinger. How does this surprise you?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You could make suggestions outside of the game if you feel that way.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">To be fair, the only skill you ever try to ply is Shoot Thing.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain's already moving, a wand out in his hands.

VAE:<font color="#000000">He's an ork

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">got a question. does it feel like I'm keeping it off by holding it down, like is it trying to pull back up, or is it staying off?

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's goord roleplaying

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It's staying off.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">He points the wand at Sszeyl and fires it off several times. CLW 4 uses: &#171; &#160;2d8+4 = 9 + 4 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Considering every other time I try to do something else, it's either a unanimous &quot;NO&quot; or it doesn't work...

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">So tempted to ask for a SR check out of spite. :V

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">But okay.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">okay. when no ones in the blades paths, &quot;Stop a moment guys, gonna let this go, just in case it resets&quot; and then let go when no ones in the path

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Spite of what?

Altonor:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Sounds like he's covered...&quot; Altonor looks over at Tom and makes a bit of a face. &quot;Sympathy magic, huh?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Just spite.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">OOh shut up and take your healing like a man.


 * Gamal-Junayd lets go. it stay off?

Sszeyl: <font color="#660033">(( I'm the Meany. Pointless cruelty and spite is my lifeblood. ))

 * Thomas Lazarus double-facepalms.


 * Gamal-Junayd chuckles, his broken bandages allowing his face to be seen by anyone for the first time. It's been burnt, badly. no nose or lips, scar tissue insttead of skin, and not a hair to be see.

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

Altonor:<font color="#000000">Have some healing while you're double-facepalming, friend. *points up*

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

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;What the fuck did that? I got half of my face sloughing off from hellhound breath... and magic sorted it out.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">* Gamal-Junayd chuckles, his broken bandages allowing his face to be seen by anyone for the first time. It's been burnt, badly. no nose or lips, scar tissue insttead of skin, and not a hair to be see. You have disconnected.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The fire that took my parents Untill I have avenged their memories, I will not seek healing to replenish my face&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The Cudgel blesses those who put their anger towards a just goal.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I thought you were going to do your usual...monk...can't be hurt by anything...super fast...thing.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;I tried. I failed. It happens.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor seems almost... appreciative of Gamal.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, another altar.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">&quot;Why do you care? I don't.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom gives Gnogglebolt the sternest tiny rage glower. It's sort of adorable since it's Tom.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hmm, Hy vonder vat dis trick is.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Please don't ask him to do dangerous crazy things. You know he instantly will.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">The room seems blank... but as soon as everyone crosses the threshhold into the bloodied room, a voice is heard.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because you almost got yourself and Thomas killed, or severely hurt, that's why I care and why you should too.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Gun up!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I will show my tribe my parents teachings were a source of strength, not weakness, and thus, restore their status and memories among the tribesman. It may not be as satisfying as taking the fight directly to the ones who killed them...but I believe they would prefer it if the tribe was not destroyed&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hmm.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I wonder if you could tame one of these..looks like they'd make great beasts for digging stuff up&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Try not to jump inside their fucking stomachs, old man.&quot;

Masabel has received initiative.RAM:<font color="#990000">Yeah, I really need to go to bed soon. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Masabel and Viceth! Aelian and Tathi are on deck.


 * Masabel tumbles on in &#171; &#160;1d20+20 = 4 + 20 = 24&#160;  &#187; dc 25 to run in full speed without an AoO and attempts a soaring raptor strike. Jump check &#171;  &#160;1d20+17 = 3 + 17 = 20&#160;  &#187; if that beats the creatures AC, it's Death from above!

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;You know. I can't helpt but think maybe beating these things is a bad idea!&quot; Vonain suddenly shouts, after he shot his eldritch energy.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Dead bodies tomorrow morning.


 * Viceth steps forward and unleashes a storm bolt! &#171; &#160;5d6 = 19&#160;  &#187; damage to all in the line

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;What if, like the rabbit, these things vanish and something even bigger takes their place?&quot;

Land Shark 2:<font color="#000000">BITE! &#171; &#160;1d20+16 = 11 + 16 = 27&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;2d8+8 = 8 + 8 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Land Shark 2:<font color="#000000">And it doesn't beat the creature's AC.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, do you have better ideas?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I still think that whatever shows up, has to be sacrificed on the altar in Laduguer's name&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well..&quot; She muses. &quot;Context makes me wonder if the rabbit wasn't supposed to be for us to sacrifice on the altar.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Not really. Just saying. Would be a good time for everyone to try and think of something.&quot;

Viceth:<font color="#000000">hmm...her ac says 27 with both weapons then (28) in parenthesis, is that buff still up?

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;You too, Tomi?&quot;

Viceth:<font color="#000000">or any ac buff?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Don't think so. I think that was Aid.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, it's a damn bloody altar and it gave us a rabbit.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Why the fuck else would it?&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep. Plus, the book said &quot;Name of our lord shall open the door&quot;. A sacrifice in Laduguer's name, what else?&quot;

Viceth:<font color="#000000">and you got viceths move as well right?

Viceth:<font color="#000000">if so, done with both

Viceth:<font color="#000000">&quot;A book written by a Hextorian,&quot; the mage muses, calmly shooting off lightning.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;A little less calm speculation, a little more dispatching land sharks, please!&quot; D|

GM:<font color="#000000">Aelian and Tathi!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;What, can't we do both at the same time tom?&quot;

Draugrim: <font color="#9933ff">(( are those pillars blocking Aelian's view of #1 by any chance? ))

GM:<font color="#000000">Swallowtail and Miron are on deck.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Their methodical approach is ... almost admirable&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">He can aim around the pillar -- it's fat enough. He just takes a -2 due to cover.

GM:<font color="#000000">Now there's no -2. :B

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Vonain seems to suddenly perk up at the word &quot;methodical&quot;, before looking slightly disappointed and then going back to normal.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian quickly fires off a trio of arrows at Land Shark 1 in the span of a heartbeat, and at point blank range to boot! &#171; &#160;1d20+15-2+1 = 9 + 15 - 2 + 1 = 23&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;1d8+4 = 7 + 4 = 11&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187;, &#171;  &#160;1d20+15-2+1 = 12 + 15 - 2 + 1 = 26&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;1d8+4 = 5 + 4 = 9&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; and &#171;  &#160;1d20+10-2+1 = 1 + 10 - 2 + 1 = 10&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; for &#171;  &#160;1d8+4 = 8 + 4 = 12&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; damage!

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;If their handbook, ,meant for internal use, said this, I'm taking it for granted, unless we got reason to think otherwise.&quot;

Land Shark 1:<font color="#000000">Two more arrows -- and then the creature hits the floor with a shattering WHOOM.

Land Shark 1:<font color="#000000">... It then disappears.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What the -- shit.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Conjurations allright.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Besides.. what do you think, that every one of those summoners trying to get in had to fucking beat a monster like this?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;So much for using its gore on the altar..&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, fuck.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Now she's done. :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends. maybe if you throw it on the alter and I'm there to slash it up, we can get a little on there.&quot;

Land Shark 2:<font color="#000000">The fire sizzles against the creature's hide... but seems to leave a bit less of a mark than it should have.

Swallowtail has received initiative.Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well...... I guess I could put the living one up there.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds like a plan, if it'll live for long enough.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hah. Probably not.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#660033">Sszeyl notes this. :V

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'll take care of the ritual, if anything.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey everyone, don't kill it! let tomiko get it on the alter!&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;It's weird, though...&quot;


 * Swallowtail is basically holding her ground and staring at the giant super-predator in uncertain terror. &quot;..What.. should do??&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#FF0000">She delays.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">assuming tomiko CAN throw a huge beast

Miron has received initiative.Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Wait

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Did Vonain get the -sub-school of the magic effect going on?

Land Shark 2:<font color="#000000">Did he? Roll Spellcraft.

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">....I don't have spellcraft, just detect magic. &gt;.&gt;

Miron:<font color="#000000">The inquisitor delays after Tomiko. &quot;Free to go, Tomi.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, magic users...do conjurations dispaear if you just knock em out, or do you have to kill em?&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">Oh well. :B

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">...But I guess it -is- obvious.

Land Shark 2:<font color="#000000">Then you shouldn't have even gotten the school. :B But oh well.

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;The parquet is all yours. Throw it on, I'll try to bust its head open on the altar.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Depends on the conjuration. Summons vanish before they die. Callings are here for real.&quot;

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">&quot;Looks like these are summons.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd has received initiative.Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes. but unconcious is not dead. it makes a difference. can I knock it out without it disapearing?&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Yeah, do that.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait..&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Dammit I wanna shoot it!

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It'll take me a minute to haul its fat ass up there anyways.&quot;

Miron:<font color="#000000">&quot;Go for it.&quot;

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Knock it out before it eats my little brother's face or something.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;As requested. Tom, don't let your face get eaten, not having one is a very large pain, take my word on that!&quot; he then spins as he brings his blades against the bulette with nonlethal. will stop if it heads to snore land

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;52600+100+100+100 = 52600 + 100 + 100 + 100 = 52900&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">woo! thanks

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">also, saving xp from last time and this time or giving that out?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh yeah, sorry Railock...

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">combat xp

RAM:<font color="#990000">51600

GM:<font color="#000000">Everyone can get 1000 XP for the combat up to now.

VAE:<font color="#000000">50400

VAE:<font color="#000000">so 51400

RAM:<font color="#990000">52600

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Also yes, I prescribe to the petitioner D&amp;D cosmic outlook.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I would have loved to react more to Gamal's face reveal, but there was, well. A lot more going on at the time with Sszeyl nearly getting chopped in half and all. ^^;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">54372 now.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Instead of the feel-good easy out of monsters are monsters and the universe isn't that bad, smiley faces.


 * VAE still mildly disappointed of not getting to run a Laduguerite ritual.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;53900 = 53900&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hatari, I agree.

Gamal-Junayd whispers: just heads up, that puts me to 55400 xp so gamals leveld just like sszeyel

Vonain (Goldeneye):<font color="#000000">50,700

RAM:<font color="#990000">So, if that's all?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Imma go shower and bed like I should have done 45 minutes ago. x3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Which is incidentally also the explanation for why planar forces are infinite tides without end compared to the mortal world's finite presently living population.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Hatari; yeah, everything I've read says petitioners only happen -sometimes- for extra-special mortal souls, and the vast majority of outsiders are spawned directly from the planestuff itself. :B

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And you can run with that.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Devils are *made* out of petitioners

RAM:<font color="#990000">So, g'night guys!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">yeah nope

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Meanwhile, this universe is collab.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Fiendish codex I

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So until Lia says otherwise, what we assert is presently constituting Akellon's reality.

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Like the cuthbertine theology i made up

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I assert in opposition. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">in pathfinder it actually goes and creates qlippoths. the outsiders that were in the abyss BEFORE the demons, who hate the demons and the mortals that spawn them...but they've been pushed into the lower levels cause theres always so many more demons

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Stop the presses.

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's all demons

VAE:<font color="#000000">Obyriths were there before

Glitch:<font color="#000000">So, will wait for Lia's call directly when she wants to.

VAE:<font color="#000000">They got taken over by Tanar'ri

VAE:<font color="#000000">There's still a fuckton of powerful obyriths out there

GM:<font color="#000000">I'd say this is a conversation for IRC. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Saving campaign...

Glitch:<font color="#000000">That's why I said &quot;when you want to&quot; :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I didn't expect an answer now.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Lady of Pale Night is awesome one

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Preening kiss-ass. =w=#

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

GM:<font color="#000000">You were asking a question?


 * Glitch jackie-chan what-hands.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Why do you constantly make so many personal attacks?

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

VAE:<font color="#000000">Why not?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Learn to deal with it, butt :3

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