 Ghostwish::3

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tangled web's page is being a butt again.

RAM:<font color="#990000">...So, what map are all the tokens on?

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ah, thanks. :3

RAM:<font color="#990000">It started me on Yoriver Gate. :B

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">So, what'd Ghost troll this time? :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Minktoken's stats. x3

RAM:<font color="#990000">What'd he put? :.

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

* RAM quickly checks Shankfang's stats! :O

RAM:<font color="#990000">Okay, good. No trolling.

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: I put Tomi in a &quot;shrine-of-Kord&quot; area on Coal Mine. You're welcome to move her wherever you'd like as long as she stays within that shriney space. :3

Railock:<font color="#000000">tom is back to bloody

Railock:<font color="#000000">thomas, stop trying to trick slaughter cultists. the only one gullible enough is in jail

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Minktoken has stats? :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I thought deities were supposed to be statless! Otherwise, the players inevitably try to kill them! :U

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">That token would always succeed in making you see things their way.

Railock:<font color="#000000">mink token. so the avatar

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">What's the charisma score on it, Liatai? :3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAND *crushes scouter*

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">XD!!!

* Liatai is brick'd.

RAM:<font color="#990000">WHAT NINE THOUSAND?!

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">brb, makin' lunch, but I am good to go. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">So... today's been kind of rough all around, hasn't it? What say we try to make it better by kicking ass and taking names?

RAM:<font color="#990000">I would like to motion for starting ASAP so I can at least get some playing in before I have to leave.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Same here, I'm thinking no charQs today.

GM:<font color="#000000">Let's do a few quick character questions while we just wait for Meany to show up, and then we'll hop into it. These ones should be very quick -- they have to do with speech pattern.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Should be quick&quot; she says.

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;How does your character greet others?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THAT. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Very loudly and huggy. :B

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">CHECK YOUR RATIONS.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">GONNA NEED EM.

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

</i> Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">Respectfully, though people tend to greet me first.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Very friendly and diplomatically.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">In a friendly way. Usually &quot;good mornin',&quot; &quot;hey,&quot; or &quot;hello.&quot; :3

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">Hey! How's it going?

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does your character have any speech habits (such as 'umm,' 'like,' or 'you know') that she repeats often while speaking?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Depends on the person. A typical hello is just Aaye. An old friend is Nae saian luume'. Someone important? Probably Saesa omentien lle. Family? Loved one? Cormamin lindua ele lle. Someone I don't like? Lle holma ve' edan. Which, er, I probably shouldn't translate in present company. It's an old elven saying..&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Well... we NPCs sometimes take on the speech patterns of the DM, like starting sentences with &quot;Well...&quot; :B *brick'd*

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I tend to greet people in a language they understand. Unlike Tathi. OW.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Is fireball a speech pattern?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I tend to monotone everything I speak, but otherwise have no speech pattern observed.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">You know, though, I do tend to use &quot;you know&quot; a lot. :.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Now turn to page 394.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I don't. Mother would always snap at me if I dared to use 'like' improperly.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Does my tick accent kount?&quot; :D

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I yell, twa ALES ower 'ere. That's dwarven fur hello.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does your character swear?&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: What exactly would count as fluff that would need to be approved by you? :o

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">No.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;In elven.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;No.&quot;

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

You whisper to Meany: ...? In what context?

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">HEY! Give those of us with 3 characters a little time! &gt;:P

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Now, excuse me while ah compile a list o' mah unusual speech habits.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Yeah. I swear a lot...just not in Common. :B

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;'''OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. OCH. Tha' shuld do it.&quot;'''

Sszeyl whispers: Well, I've got an idea for some fluff for the Law Devotion feat, which grants a bonus to attack/AC that switches between actions. And none of it grants any mechanical bonus aside from the feat, but it is a bit...theatrical.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Naw. Ah prefer mair creative sayings. Lik' yer mither wis a mad rocket wanker.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">Yep, but not often. Never around kids, and never around Mom, that was ingrained in me from day one. :B

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">No, unless my cover calls for it. If I am inclined to swear, I do so in Amayan.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;But you still swear, which I can just see her yanking on your hair for. I can just here her now, shrilling your full name.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Or when you get zapped with a lightning bolt while invisible. :U

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">Fuck yeah I swear, you'd be hard-pressed to find a Macer who didn't. It's cheaper than therapy and damn well effective, too. |3

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I did not swear then.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">You so did.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">You may read logs if you do not believe me. =3=

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Logs, schmogs, I'm a wizard.

Sszeyl whispers: The part I'm talking about is where the combined Law powers of Orgolloyss, Vandria Gilmadrith, and First short out Correlon's curse on the drow for the duration of the feat, one minute flat.

Sszeyl whispers: The black skin, white hair thing.

You whisper to Meany: .... yeah no, sorry. ^^;

Sszeyl whispers: Drats. :v

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">brb, puttin' fishsticks in the over. :3

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">*oven

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Lucky.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I would kill people to have some fishsticks right now. :v

GM:<font color="#000000">Righto! Everyone here? Awake? Fed? Lllllet's get ready to rumble~!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I can't unhear that voice.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Mink's words will always be in that voice.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Damn you.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Oh god now that horrible techno is playing WHY DM WHY

GM:<font color="#000000">You're welcome. :P

* Railock is still cooking lunch

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">ALL OF THE BRICKS.

* RAM is ready to rumble! :D

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I have this bookmarked just for this purpose. |D http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&amp;NR=1&amp;v=zr6eHza6JVI

RAM:<font color="#990000">Hup, bafroom!

Railock:<font color="#000000">back

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

GM:<font color="#000000">That's Rail, Glitch, Ghost, and Ram... Doktor, Meany, you ready?

* Sszeyl knocks down a wall with Doktor as a battering ram.

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( Brb, tea run. :v ))

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">reading up end of last log...

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Been doing background things.

GM:<font color="#000000">... a strange thought occurred to me. Are those gold rings part of Mink's head, or just ornamentation? :.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm here and attentive.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I always figured ornamentation. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">No problem! Let's start up the recap, then.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">grabbin' fishsticks!!

GM:<font color="#000000">But you never see the squiggly with them off... Ah well! Questions for another day. :3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">never saw Abel in anything other than the skirt until he left SAIA. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">Today, however, is Bahamon 1st, 1221 CA, and the weather is mild, still, and rather grey with snow clouds.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Do you have, like, multiple tokens with different Mink!Expressions, or do you just switch through them really fast? :.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Hey, we've also seen Abel shaping his wings into the skirt. So they could be a part of him. :B *brick'd*

Glitch:<font color="#000000">!!! Ram, did you ever read last week's session log? I forgot to check :o

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Lia; was about to point that out myself. |3

RAM:<font color="#990000">Actually, I forgot. ^^;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Dammit, ram! Dx

RAM:<font color="#990000">Well I'm sorry!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">And I know Lia just switches images really quickly. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">I'm busy saving America from terrorism over here!

Railock:<font color="#000000">we put my little pony graffit on shanks bike

Glitch:<font color="#000000">It -really- doesn't take that long.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Excuse me if I'm a little distracted. :B

Dr. Hatari whispers: Problem.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Just have all the images in one folder, and you'll be in that folder every time you imageswap.

GM:<font color="#000000">I have a folder of Mink token images I switch through. Playing Kan trained me to be very quick at switching images. :B

Dr. Hatari whispers: Tangled web is being a butt and loading all incomplete pages. Including character sheets.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I thought so. Just figured I'd ask. :B

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: ... odd. It's working fine for me. :.

Dr. Hatari whispers: Curses. &gt;:O Well I'll manage.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">So, lets get dis show on the road!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Hy vanna schoot tinks!

Dr. Hatari whispers: These Kordite tokens are awesome by the way. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">The party pulled up to about a mile outside Yoriver in the middle of the night, deciding to delay their entry until... well... everyone could actually see. They also have a potential lead as to how to get into the locked-down town; some mysterious &quot;black-cloaks&quot; and a message from Cal'tel. Talking with Tathi's father revealed that there was an abandoned coal mine somewhere outside of town that might fit the bill perfectly.

* Gamal-Junayd wants to avoid unessecary fighting

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: Why thank you. x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And this was all after a day-long stop in an oasis, in which -much- chatter was had. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">The oasis chatter wasn't very plot-relevant! We're about to begin plot! \o/

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I bet the Trucktrain has enough torque to just plow through the gate...

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Yaaay plot! \o/

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Well, -some- of it might be relevant soon. :P (just teasin(

GM:<font color="#000000">Once the PCs wake up, that is. It's about 9 o'pocketwatch, and Sszeyl has the pocketwatch on account of no longer needing to sleep. Everyone else was getting some extra shut-eye.

GM:<font color="#000000">Not quite &quot;dawn,&quot; but it's when Gnogglebolt told him to wake everyone.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Allright, so, do we even want to try the front gates or should we just head for the mine?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">We're not awake yet, Ta--oh, right, four-hour trance, then just four hours sitting-on-thumbs. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Shankfang is already up, cleaning Rose, arranging powder horns and basically just getting ready for some heavy-duty killing.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Well. Asleep until Sszeyl gets around to the waking.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Let's see, I -- wait a second.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I live.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I should probably mention...

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

* Gamal-Junayd gets up and starts breakfast (Profession(Cook) Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 1 + 13 = 14&#160;  &#187;)

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sentient food!

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+19 = 15 + 19 = 34&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; The familiar sound of lute-strumming should begin waking up the rest of the party shortly. :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">waiting for you to wake me up, drow. -3- I gave you the pocketwatch. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Now that he no longer has a quickloading pistol, Shankfang has ten powder horns arranged bandolier-style across his chest, along with bags of ball ammunition. :B

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">That is, if the ninja doesn't keep trying to shush the bard. &quot;This is stealth! That is not stealthy!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl goes to Gnogglebed, picks the whole structure up, and juggles it for a second before putting it back.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Time to rise.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gwaugh!&quot;

* Edaric shrugs and keeps strumming. &quot;Unless our enemies are music critics and this far away from the town, I'm not worried.&quot; :3

Snarky:<font color="#000000">A lizard comes leaping out at Sszeyl's face, sending sparks everywhere.

* Thomas Lazarus smirks faintly.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">Snooooore. D|

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi just has to nudge Aelian to wake him up. &quot;You were thrashing about all night.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Nightmares. I am about to meet your father afterall.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl takes the lizard and puts it on Anise.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ohhh, electrocution then, hrmm?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Not helping!!&quot; &gt;:O

Snarky:<font color="#000000">*spkt* *spkt* *SPkt*

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- ACK! OW OW OW!&quot; DX

* Thomas Lazarus spends 'breakfast' time in quiet meditation.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... Of varying degrees of peace. He cracks an eye to spy shenanigans.

* Edaric pauses strumming and points over toward the sleepyheads. &quot;I'd worry about shushing them instead.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Once he's finally satisfied that Rose is absolutely sparkling, he loads a round and gathers with the rest. &quot;Goot mornink, hefferyvun.&quot; :3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt comes stumbling out of the trucktrain, shaking his head and clearing the sleepies from his eyes.

* Swallowtail sighs and goes over. &quot;What is problem...?&quot; =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mph. 'narky. 'eel.&quot; Gnogglebolt says sleepily. Untrained handle animal: &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Mornin', Shankfang.&quot; :3

Snarky:<font color="#000000">The agitated sparker leaps off of Anise and goes back to Gnogglebolt.

* Thomas Lazarus offers quiet nods in response to the greetings.

* Anise Berilan grumbles and rubs frizzy hair, then goes off to a more secluded area of the makeshift camp to do a few kata.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hyu ready for zum devil huntink?&quot; &gt;:3

* Gamal-Junayd serves out the food, poor quality for him but okay overall to everyone

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So...whats the plan now?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">And sentient.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt helps himself to some of the food--not caring if it happens to be ambulatory this time--and starts suiting up all his stuff.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll have to do some entrance hunting before devil hunting, I think.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">we got rid of the spice that made things ambulatory

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Once he's more awake, he looks around.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">OMNOMNOM! &gt;:9

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">theres no way 5% of everything we make is sentient

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Except the rule existed before the spice.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;We have to get into the city first, Shankfang. Then we start the systematic massacre of every single evil outsider we come across.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( :3 ))

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh, thanks, Gamal.&quot; :3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Meh. I kinda liked the idea it was some cursed spice, too.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Thanks for breakfest, Gamal.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( The natural 1 on sentient food rule predated the spice. ))

* Thomas Lazarus opens his eyes. &quot;I do not like what I keep hearing about this 'kill everything' and 'massacre'.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sentient food would wreck the current mood, so no sentient food. ^^;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl; no, we didn't think to -explain- it as spice until later. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">It retroactively existed. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Zo, dat's a ja, den?&quot; :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;First, everyone, what we need to do is start looking for this coal mine.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Not efferytink, Tomas.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is your prefer, then, Thomas?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Chust de tinks dat try und kill us.&quot; :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can travel in a wide circle around town until we find it, or perhaps we can...um...maybe 'Send' to Tathi's father and ask him for more specific location?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is there any way someone could getr an arial viewof the area without being seen?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus dons a grim expression. &quot;..That's a start.. but even that may not be good enough. So listen to me very carefully;&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Once we find this coal mine, we go in and hope we see some black cloaks. Thne we ask them for help.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;No. If he'd known, he would have told us.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;The dwarf and I shall lead in the tunnels, then.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;He did seem particularly sleepy last night, Tathi...not unreasonable to think the landmarks simply didn't come to his mind at the time.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Potentially Shankfang as well.&quot;

* Edaric is paying attention to Thomas.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just trying to explore options, trying to narrow down our search.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;This is Yoriver. It has one of the roughest and most macabre Mace societies in the world. That has always been its reputation, even in good times. There will be black magicians and.. malconvokers in the service of good and righteousness. That we must not harm.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy kan help. Hy kan see in de dark.&quot; :3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;We talked specifically about the mine, Gnogglebolt.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The aerial view is good, but -can- anyone here pull that off without being seen--&quot; Gnogglebolt looks over to Thomas.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat's vy Hy said de tinks dat try und kill us.&quot; :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;If you are assuming I will put up with liberal friendly fire without checking just because we are allies, you are mistaken. We must be careful, here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;You are speaking to the man who worked handsomely with necromancers.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">:|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;You keep saying 'malconvokers'.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think there are a few of us here who still need an explanation of what that is.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">...Wasn't it already explained?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I seem to recall there being huge-long discussions with Miron about them.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;What, with how Miron was practically bragging about them? How? Was someone suddenly deaf?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;And if they have gone the deep end? Will you make the call?&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(I don't remember it being done IC. But I could just have a bad memory.)

* Thomas Lazarus recounts with a distasteful look, &quot;Those that bind fiends through spells and coercion and use them as tools.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I do not know what a 'malconvoker' is...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat sounds pretty neat.&quot; :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks confused. &quot;Wait, aren't those exactly the kind of people we've fought before, Thomas?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Is there an opposite of that profession, I wonder...one who forcibly binds celestials to do their work.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...and what I was just asking you about yesterday, about people who call upon Dark Things?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I think it's depraved. Binding them in such a way is just inviting more into this world.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We have fought criminals and murderers before. And I am not saying I approve. I don't.&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd shrugs

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;But that does not give us leave to haul off and attack the law enforcement here that hasn't been compromised by this Hextorite cult.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way..I'll fight to my best. Whether you slay or capture those I knock out...their fate will be yours to determine thomas.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Understood. You'll be the one to call judgement on them then.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;We might not, but the Yoriver Macers do. They've got true necromancers among themselves, even, I hear.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy em pretty sure dat vas nefer de plan.&quot; :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well, you could have put my mind to ease by not talking like it was, then!&quot; He huffs.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt considers. &quot;...well, what we know is Yoriver is overrun with True Fiends. We know some members of the Mace in there are helping the fiends run amok. And now...we know some of the Mace can call fiends?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus rubs a temple. =3=;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy didn't!&quot; &gt;:O

* Thomas Lazarus eyerolls at the denial.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Thomas, I promise I'll at least ask question before shooting, but pardon me for possibly jumping to conclusions because it's starting to sound like they might be the ones who caused this.&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy specifikally said Hy vould only kill de vuns who try to kill us. Vat more do hyu vant?&quot; &gt;:|

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;In any case, you're correct. I've been saying all along, it's going to be a confusing mess. We need to sort out who is a lunatic in service to Hell, and who is not. And it won't necessarily be obvious which are which.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;... normally I'd whack you upside the head for even suggesting that the Mace fosters that kind of corruption,&quot; Anise says with a look at Gnogglebolt. &quot;... But then there's this news about the corrupt lieutenant.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks at Shankfang. &quot;The count of the city is allegedly mad. Legitmate good guys might try to apprehend us.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">All the more reason we need to get some backup who might be able to shed some Light on the situation...

</i> Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Apprehend iz not de same as tryink to kill.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;It'll look the same if there's a fiend helping.&quot; &gt;:|

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Though, considering what we do know of the situation, apprehending might as well turn out the same as killing.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;My blades will knock them out, no matter their intentions. We can sort the wheat fromt he chaff at our leisure.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus seems particularly vehement about this. He must be stressed.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...And if a fiend is helping...yeah, thomas, we're going to have to concern ourselves with our own lives first.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd whispers: now I'm really glad I went with merciful

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;...Hy'm gonna hef to aim at de kneekaps again, hain't Hy.&quot; =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Though as I said, I promise to ask questions whenever possible before shooting anything.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or focus on the fiends, shank.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...but if another Devil-Wolf is trying to rip my throat out, all bets are off.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We have done more phenominal acts of guarded combat that this before.&quot; He stands and dusts his knees.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Thomas, how about this to calm your nerves?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't think anyone's asking for us to go lightly on the fiends. correct?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Let us move. The day is spending itself.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;And there might still be flyers.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Just don't assume a riled up Macer is a bad guy, and I don't care if fiends get destroyed.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Out of all the people here, and I am not bragging, I probably bring the most damaging, life-destroying ordinance to bear. What if I cast solely on your directive?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have to get going. Tathi's father said the black cloaks were most active around this time.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Be right back; gonna check the fire and make some tea. ^^;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Simply none of this.. gung-ho kill em all attitude.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We want to catch them while they're still out and about.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then I'll focus on any hostile mace we encounter, while shankfang and others who focus on killing can deal witht he fiends. Simple, yes?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000"> &quot;Hy nefer said kill dem all.&quot; =3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sounds like a plan to me.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ability-review, everyone!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is there anyone here who might be able to get a bird's-eye view without being seen?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We want to narrow down our search for that coal mine.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods solemnly. &quot; I did not want to sound ostentatious.. but lives are on the line. I wanted to be sure we were all on the same page.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian just chuckles, and starts looking around. Coal mines would probably have trails and the like leading to them, for the extraction of said coal. Any sign of that around, DM?

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Thoooomas.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus blinks over. &quot;Oh.. ah..&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Very well. I've been trained in demon slaying. I know how to pick up on the stink of evil lingering in the hearts of men. Fiends are clear -- unmistakable. I'll be able to tell if a soul we cross is possessed. Or at the very least, if a fiend's.. handler has a dark heart. A bit of parlay and action beyond that should speak for itself in regards to where their allegiances lie.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Meanwhile, Gnogglebolt gets all his gear on...and something new.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">You've all seen his cargo-pack, and the comically large stack of junk packed into it.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;That's cute, but it wasn't what I asked. Are you saying you want spellfire at your direction?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sighs and looks a bit uneasy. He glances to Anise for confirmation of approval.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Now there's a big wooden barrel strapped to the cargo pack as well. As Gnogglebolt moves, it sloshes with fluid. It doesn't look like it sould even be possible for Gnogglebolt to carry such incredible weight, but he is--albiet staggering around slowly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Fine. Yes.&quot; &gt;:|

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Mmkay.&quot; :3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I don't think we need to carry our own water in there, it isn't the desert.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Snaking out of the barrel is a rubber hose that goes to some small gun-like device holstered to the side of Gnogglebolt's pack.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;This water's special.&quot; is all Gnogglebolt says.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Everyone, on your guard when we find the caves.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I still haven't heard anyone put forth any actionable options for finding it aside from just circling the town.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;The drow got to surface somehow one century ago, so any passage underground might be a path to the Deep places.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus whispers: Weird.. so does this show up in full to you? http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=45623

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Seriously. Options for narrowing down the search, people. Anyone got one? I...might have one myself, but it might not work and it would take mental focus I might need elsewhere.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Back. :43 lagcheck?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">:43

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Let's chust drive until ve find it.&quot; =3=

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Let our current meants, our ranger, work first. Then we can go considering every willy nilly option under the sun.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( :43 ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:43 at :43

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Welcome back, Aelian left something for you.

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: Yes, it loads just fine for me. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;It's not like it vould efen take dat long for us to circle de city.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Aaaand this is part of the reason why you prolly should have read the log, Ram.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">We're not taking the vehicles.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">We've already covered them with leave-tarps for camoflauge.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">As I was botting shankfang, I had him do this; &quot;Shankfang bitches about it.&quot; :B

Dr. Hatari whispers: Curses. It's something weird on my end then. I've tried loading it in multiple browsers, clearing cookies, and nothing gets anything but garbled partial loads. =3=;

RAM:<font color="#990000">I do not approve of this! &gt;:|

Dr. Hatari whispers: I'll just cast spells by rote then.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I could have at least scouted ahead super-quick. &gt;:|

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Good thing I was botting Shankfang. Your disapproval has already been noted. |D

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's true.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;The other thing is, I could go up near the gates and do some asking around. I can see a lot of wagons near there; I could probably chat with some of the travellers without getting any law enforcement attention.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He emoted Shankfang bitching about it. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">Except it wouldn't have just been him bitching.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">The end result would have been the same no matter what argument you could have come up with, though. Vehicles have been tarp'd and left behind. :B

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

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

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">He would have had an argument for at least taking Dragula ahead and scouting out for the mine before then. &gt;:|

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Shankfang may give an argument if he wants.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Hm. That -might- work.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not at night with aerial scouts flying everywhere.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Indeed.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">There were Fallen Angels in the sky when we tarp'd the vehicles.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">-we- had to hide under them to avoid detection.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">it's loud

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Loudness doesn't matter though.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Because he made it so/

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Bah, whatever.

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

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I specifically pointed out we parked the vehicles at least a mile from the city, or however far away we need to be for no one to hear the vehicles.

* RAM just hopes there eventually comes a time when he can use Dragula for something other than 'getting somewhere really fast.'

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">We're seeing the starship pilot problem again. XP

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: Can you see this? :3 http://postimage.org/image/hjc8ahtyf/

RAM:<font color="#990000">I even have several mounted combat feats for it! D: Glitch:<font color="#000000">The problem with mounted combat is it kinda needs a wide-open area to fight in, and...I don't think we've -ever- fought on a wide-open area. Except for that one time we fought a pack of Fiendish Wolves before getting to Briarclaw.

Dr. Hatari whispers: Yes, thank you very much. Let's say Meteoric Strike was replaced with Dispel Evil, and then that's fine for today.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Request the DM for more aboveground fights sometime. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Well, are there flying things searching around now that it's daylight? :.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Mmkay, sorry, was taking care of some paperwork.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... So you can go blazing off and shoot them on Dragula. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">No.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">No, they left the skies when the sun went up. And I know what you're thinking. -3-

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">DON'T DENY IT \o/ *bricked*

GM:<font color="#000000">Aelian, you can roll a Survival check to look for a trail once you start walking. And you can look for aerial units with a Spot check.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Because if there aren't, he can make an argument for scouting ouy. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Hatari; no, if they're gone, he wants to take Dragula out now. :B

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Well, go ahead and do so, Shankfang.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Vell, Hy kan go fast on Dragula.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you wanted, I could try that speech-linking spell, too, so if there's trouble everyone would know.&quot; :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20 = 18&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Spot check!

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Fast isn't a concern. We have all day. Days, even. Let's be quiet.&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks up. &quot;Well...the flying things are gone now, but...hey, Aelian. I have a question.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Do I see flying things?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;The linked person would have to put up with me talking for a while, though.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;But how fast can you go while remaining hidden from anything nearby, and searchign teh land well?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're about a mile out from the walls of a city. You know how most sentries are, could a rampart sentry see the dragula from this distance?&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve are plenty far enuff from de city to not be heard.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I doubt that.&quot; =3=

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 13 + 14 = 27&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; survival!

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Und iz not like Hy hef to look dat hard.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">What are the major geographical features around Yoriver anyway, Lia? Open fields, hills, a small mountain right next to it?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aelian, you haven't started walking yet. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy chust hef to drive until Hy find a big koal mine.&quot; :B

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;A moment, Gnogglebolt. Busy.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&gt;:(

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You won't see anything near where you are now.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Except maybe game trails. Want some breakfast? *brick'd*

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;What is it?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Aelian, Tathi, Swallowtail and I can all scout the plains while this happens.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt repeats his question to Aelian.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Tathi and Aelian are familiar with this country, and Swallowtail and I can at least be stealthy.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Und vit how fast Dragula is, Hy kould cirkle de vole city in minutes.&quot; :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">The terrain is mainly open plains with small thickets occasionally dotting the landscape.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;What?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;How would I be familiar with this country??&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus doesn't look like he believes the sound of someone gunning a chopper on a quiet afternoon won't carry to the walls. Easily. =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I meant this terrain. Plains. Such as surround Caslteton.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Swallowtail is used to islands, and I'm used to caves.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">:|

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Castleton is more of a forested river valley. ^^; *brick'd*

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;You're crazy.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, I don't think he is. Hey Tathi, you're a wood elf, right?&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;This is the Charred Veld. Wasn't that wood elf city back in the day?&quot; |3

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Erm, I am not familiar with this 'country'. I am a ranger, however.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt repeats his question to Aelian. Again. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Repost it, Gnoggle. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Knowledge Nature and Survival are added to her skill list from the racial template.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Yes, to the east. I never ventured over here, and when the Burning happened, I went south and around the desert.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We all have working legs..&quot; =3=;;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">You've only said it once, now hold on.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Dragula? Stealthy? You must be kidding with me, Gnogglebolt.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">=3=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I didn't say anything about stealthy.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Can Tathi cast Silence upon it?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... so while we argue about scouting, may I go up and start actually asking where the mine is?&quot; Ed raises his hand. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just asked if we were far enough out no one could see it anyway.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;They would see and hear it for miles, not to mention the utter destruction it would cause to the wild zones while moving at those speeds.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Hurry Ed.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;No, because that is illusion.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Before they realize you're still here.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Very well then.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Go ahead, Edaric.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dragula does not kause destruction!&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Let me come with you, Edaric. Just in case.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Have you so quickly forgotten that these machines just operating attracts the attention of entire cities at a time? Forget about it. We're walking.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;She iz not nearly heffy enuff for dat.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right, all right.&quot; x3 &quot;Should I set up a speechlink first?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;....yeah, actually. We'll start walking while you go to the gates.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So you'll need to be able to talk to us to get back to us.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Wait, you'

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">'re walking while he's talking? Well, then I have to go with you.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Well, at least I tried to be useful for something other than shooting.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Go with who?&quot; :.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">You should stop. You're not multi-classed.

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

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Them. I am the ranger, afterall.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...that's a really bad message, ghost. &gt;_o

Glitch:<font color="#000000">that's drayco-type-thinking. :B

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... True, that you are.&quot; :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I think it was said tongue in cheek. =w=;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Since he's Ghost.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can only link up with one person, though. Who's willing to deal with schmoozing for a while?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, Aelian, come with us. Edaric, you can go up to the gates alone and chat with the waiting caravans. Maybe take swallowtail with you, so she can give you tips on how to not look suspicious.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I am.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can be the link.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Or he can.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Let's flip a coin.&quot; :P

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Wait, now I'm confused.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;This is not unusual for you.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari glances to Swallowtail.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Edaric, aren't you going to go to the gate...so -you- can chat with people there and see if any of them know where the mine is?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And then you're just speechlinked with one of us so you can convey whatever you learn, and we can tell you where we are?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;yes, but he plans on having a link to one of us, so that in case somethign goes wrong...we can mount a rescue.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Sorry Dragula. Hy guess hyu vill never be truely appreciated in dis backvater kountry.&quot; &gt;: Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Don't mope. Sheesh this isn't a game.&quot; =3=##

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, so...oh! I get it, you're asking who's okay with the chatter in their ear the whole time.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes.&quot; :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, I'm good for that, and -I- should probably be hearing it over the rest of you. Not because I can do more with it, but because it won't matetr if -I'm- distracted.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl, Gamal, we'll need you two to be able to focus on what you can do.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm jsut sticking around here. Breakfast has bem no track what else is there for me to do? I'm no tracker.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's not much I need to do here aside from walk, so I can just be a relay. Not like I can help with searching.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But we'll need you taking point if we do find the place, Gamal.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;unless you feel I should go with ed. I could pass myself off as a guide through the desert, that way he isn't alone.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm saying, anyone who's keeping an eye out or taking point should not be distracted.&quot;

* Dr. Hatari is overall blown away by initial faffing about levels. AKELLON. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, Edaric, do this 'speechlink' thing with me, and Swallowtail? You're good at not drawing attention and not looking suspicious, right? If you want, go with Ed and tell him how to not look suspicious as one man walking up to the gates, asking about a mine, and walking away.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, okay, hang on, I'll settle this.&quot; x3

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's a plan. Anyone have any emphatic objections?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The rest of us will be walking and searching, of course.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">As much as I hate to rush people, can we please hurry this along a little? :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I'm trying!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;An amayan coming this far north is a bit suspicious.&quot;

* RAM is on a deadline. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Tech's in this game.

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gnogglebolt, you're not that fond of magic, and that's what I'd be doing. Sszeyl has enough voices in his head. So, Gamal.&quot; :3

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">It ain't going anywhere fast.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">HEY. &gt;:[

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Screw you meany, I'm -trying- to move this along. &gt;:[

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's decided then. Edaric, good luck, and hopefully nothing goes wronf.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Respectfully, Swallowtail is an obvious foreigner. In my opinion, him approaching a civilian camp alone would be the least suspicious.&quot; He shrugs and looks to Swallowtail. &quot;If you disagree, go ahead. Let's just get moving soon.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, very well. Gamal it is, and Swallowtail can stay with us. Let's go.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, come over here, I need to touch you to get the speechlink going.&quot; :3 Spellcasting goes here. &quot;See you guys in a few minutes.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... Him in reference to Ed, not Swallowtail. &gt;.&gt; *kunai'd*

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Let's go. I'm going to start looking for trails to the coal mine.&quot;

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

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Could we go off previous rolls? ^^;;

You whisper to Railock: After about ten minutes of schmoozing, Edaric says goodbye to someone, and wishes them luck, then there's a period of silence. &quot;Gamal, I think I've got something. Where are you guys? The mine's east of town, you follow an old creek to get there.&quot; The party is headed in that direction.

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

You whisper to Railock: &quot;Right. You know, it's a good thing we didn't try the gates. Did you hear that inquisitor? Stuck there for a whole week.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I think this is close enough. We could be wrong, but it's a good candidate. Everyone ready for some spelunking?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Could be more than an hour, Gamal, though since it's done its job, either of us should be able to end the spell just by willing it to happen.&quot; :3

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh Edaric. What are we going to do with you after I tell all your sisters about how you got lost and I had to come find you?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Dorf, Shankfang, let's go.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;As a reminder, we -hope- we're going to see some people in black cloaks and steel masks in here.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Seems like our best bet.. ... ..indeed. Let's.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If we do, we want to be friends with them.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl jus goes down into the caves. :V

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just making absolutely sure, Ed.&quot; Gnogglebolt gives an uneasy smile.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Out of the three, he's prolly the squishiest, :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He follows the others in, sticking to around the middle of the pack.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Huh? No, I mean the forty-somethingth time Aelian's had to find me after I got lost.&quot; :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">People with darkvision, come to the front.

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">The dwarf just stares at Sszeyl. &quot;The heck urr ye oan about?&quot; You chose a dedicated healer, a monk, and a ranged specialist for front line. Mega ultra fail times 9000.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">You can be the front too.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;But I kind of like this saint thing.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">First order of business; Thomas murmurs spells of Shield Other and Magic Vestments for Sszeyl and Gamal respectively. Tom's caster level is now high enough to provide +2 enhancement bonus on the armor spell.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Smoke?! D: * Thomas Lazarus murmurs, &quot;This operation was what got him interested in coming with us in the first place. My fault.&quot; =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Can someone please explain to me where this guys came from and why he's with us while we walk? Seriously, I've asked twice before and never got an answer.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Who are you, even?&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Tech.. we've been over this already.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Tavern stuff. You were dealing with.. ... ..I don't even remember his name in Thalinde.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Of coorse. It happened tae be in this direction, 'n' ah'ament letting devils run amuck.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;''Well, alright then. If Thomas thinks you're good to work with, fine by me.&quot;''

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Well, alright then. If Thomas thinks you're good to work with, fine by me.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">wrong tag. :B

* Thomas Lazarus decides this would be a poor moment to mention the entire affair was an accident. =3=;;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">Gotcha by the gonads, boy &gt;:D

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">... TRAILBLAZING GO! :O

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Gotta wait for DM, though.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Lia's away.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">She smelled smoke. &gt;.&gt;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">And before I completely forget, everyone congratulate Railock on his new apartment. It's quite swanky. :3

RAM:<font color="#990000">She smelled smoke! D: * RAM worries and frets. &gt;: Glitch:<font color="#000000">-hopefully- it's just someone rolled a 1 on their cooking check. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Well, she warms her house with a wood furnace. It's probably not especially unusual. :B

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Why would you wish sentient food on Lia.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">She doesn't need a flying spaghetti monster in her house.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">No one does.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">A two, then. Someone burned the casserole. :P

Liatai:<font color="#000000">True. It's no problem, just the wind shifted. ^^; I was worried a log had fallen out of the fireplace.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Well then.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">I believe we are ready for DM MARCH.

GM:<font color="#000000">The door swings open quietly, revealing a dusty old cave.

* Thomas Lazarus keeps his attention on the path.

* Shankfang the Deffrider scans, making sure to check his corners.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;... Say, Aellian ... if those blackcloak people are using this route, can you spot any fresh tracks?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF"> &quot;Shall I have a spell scout ahead?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian checks for fresh tracks. Survival?

* Thomas Lazarus raises a brow at Tathi. &quot;..You can do that? That sounds great.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Indeed.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Will it have darkvision?&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 8 + 14 = 22&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; survival!

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot; I can scout. &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">To assist.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">26!

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">NO SWALLOWTAIL YOU'RE TOO YOUNG *cling* D: *KUNAI'D*

GM:<font color="#000000">Well, that's quite a lot of tracks for an &quot;abandoned&quot; mine. Mostly human-sized, with a few smaller.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi casts Prying eyes.. and &#171; &#160;1d4+10 = 1 + 10 = 11&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; little floating eyes appear!!

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">.. I totally forgot to make a token for this spell. XP

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">As, I'd imagine, several party members do.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Dat's kool.&quot;

* Shankfang the Deffrider pokes at one of them.

* Dr. Hatari checks tokens.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot; ... those didn't... belong to anyone, did they? &quot; o.o;

Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoriver - Coal Mine'Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">They're small, shaped like elven eyes, translucent, and glow ever so softly in irridescent blue.. They're hard as hell to spot otherwise.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">You need Clear Eyes.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF"> &quot;Of course. I have to collect the eyeballs of nosy party members.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Token ownership set to all.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&gt;:3

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Poke poke. :.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Why do you call them small when they're medium sized? :V

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">While the individual eyes are quite fragile, they&#8217;re small and difficult to spot. Each eye is a Fine construct, about the size of a small apple, that has 1 hit point, AC 18 (+8 bonus for its size), flies at a speed of 30 feet with perfect maneuverability, and has a +16 Hide modifier. It has a Spot modifier equal to your caster level (maximum +15) and is subject to illusions, darkness, fog, and any other factors that would affect your ability to receive visual information about your surroundings. An eye traveling through darkness must find its way by touch.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It was a raw. :B

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( Ugh. ))

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;There is a pit down this hall.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;You can use the eyes to see on the other side when we come to it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I'm not so sure I could jump it....&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;There is also a turnoff.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;With another pit.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Getting across a pit? Leave that to me...&quot; Gnogglebolt grins.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Odd.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I can't see beyond that pit there.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's no ordinary pit -- that looks like a mineshaft.&quot; :.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Is the VBL that strong? :V

* Thomas Lazarus frowns.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;You humans use square mine shafts?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;That can't be good.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; I don't know anything about mining, our race is diverse.&quot; =w=;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">I'll macro up this arcane eye. DM, how do you want to handle this spell, seeing how having -eleven- of the little faggots would totally gum up the server?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Circular shafts are much more stable.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;The shaft up here has two leges on the sides.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Possibly paths.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Well, this seems like an excellent opportunity for the magical eyeball to check out some dangerous pits. &quot;Mm.. atleast we're on the right track so far.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's another pit up here.&quot; You're free to break DM movement.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Speaking of.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Worst comes to worse we could follow the others.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">How many people -do- have lightsources active?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">For server purposes, only one person should have light. I'm already getting some lag.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;There is no path beyond the pit.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve kan valk around dis vun.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Qho has rope?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Who*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I have rope! Lots of rope!&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Give me one end.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Tom has one. I'm not lagging.. but then again I have ram.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Considering we want to make friends here... -if- the people we're looking for are here...&quot;

* Dr. Hatari pets RAM. =3= *bricked*

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whoa, whoa, hang on there, dragon boy.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Does anyone think it's too dangerous to shout down the shaft and see if anyone hears us? Do we want to announce our presence?&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;We have no idea how deep those pits are, and I'm not one to risk the world to find out how deep a hole is.&quot;

* RAM nuzzles and leans. |3

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey Aelian. Which pit has seen more traffic lately?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Very true. Except I can fall long distances and not be injured. :T&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus frowns. &quot;Please.. we have magical flying eyeballs, here.&quot;

* Shankfang the Deffrider peeeers down the shaft.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let's not resort to shouting and bungee jumping first.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Do I see anything?

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian checks for which pit has seen more traffic. Survival?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right. Aelian, tell us which one's more used. Then Tathi, send the....very disturbing floaty eyeball down.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Sszeyl, and those with darkvision, can see the bottoms of the shafts, covered in dusty black rocks and -- hey, hang on a second.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I can see the bottom of the shafts, anyway. :T&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Is not dat far.&quot;

Arcane Eye:<font color="#FF0000">MY WORLD IS NOTHING BUT CONTINUOUS TORMENT; WHY DID YOU CREATE ME WITHOUT AN EYELID

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Quit whining!

GM:<font color="#000000">There's a ledge in the eastern one. Even those without darkvision can see it, just barely on the edge of their lanterns.

GM:<font color="#000000">A very narrow, precipitous-looking ledge.

GM:<font color="#000000">Yes, Aelian, Survival.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 8 + 14 = 22&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; survival!

Tavia:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 13 + 4 = 17&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; survival!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 9 + 3 = 12&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Wis check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Assist.

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">26.

GM:<font color="#000000">That seems to be the pit with the most activity, too.

GM:<font color="#000000">It looks to be... quite a long fall down, though. o.o;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Yes, this one has seen the most traffic. We appear to be on the right trail.&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom looks around for any place to secure a rope. It's a mine, afterall.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">About how far?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Farther than my 120ft of vision?

GM:<font color="#000000">Search check, Tom.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt digs through his cargo pack, and produces lots of silk rope.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Search! &#171; &#160;1d20-1 = 16 - 1 = 15&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 16 + 2 = 18&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Int check!

GM:<font color="#000000">And no, not farther than your 120-foot darkvision. About 80 feet. The ledge is 30 feet down.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">250ft worth of silk rope.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">(not continuous, but ends can be knotted together)

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I have slow fall 30ft.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Can I slow my fall enough to land there?

GM:<font color="#000000">I'd talk it over with the party first.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Anyway, I'm inclinded to agree with Anise.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Good answer. =w=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl, for all your skill, I don't like the idea of sending you first down a shaft.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I could potentially fall down to that ledge and serve as a base to drag you all down.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let someone else go. Any volunteers?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I'm much stronger than you.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I can see farther than you.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could go with him. a fall that short? not dangerous at all.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;And I can do this safer than you.&quot;

Aelian: <font color="#9933ff">(( By the way, not sure if I got a response concerning the arcane eyes? ))

GM:<font color="#000000">Tom, you find a very handy spot to secure a rope, in a metal hook welded to the ground.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">GAH. HANG ON.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know, Sszeyl. You are very handy at exactly this.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But in this case, we can do with someone slightly less skilled.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;You're also utterly inexpendable.&quot; He notes a rope latch and taps it.

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

* Glitch waits for DM!

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;What about me then? I'd have to use a light..but if they can see in the dark and are waiting...they probably already know where here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I can manufacture lights, to mark the ledge easier.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;And Tathi's eye might be able to scout it if she wants to float it down there.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ghost, I'm not sure what exactly you're asking me.

* Thomas Lazarus nods and kneels by the hook. &quot;Gnogglebolt, lets get a line secure here for repelling.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You need to tell me where you're sending the eyes.

GM:<font color="#000000">And... there's a small problem.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;For once, I hope they -do- know we're here...I don't want to surprise these people. And yes, the eye. Tathi, send down the eye to the ledge first.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Uh oh.~

GM:<font color="#000000">The ledge is on the opposite side of the pit from where everyone but Gamal is.

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi floats one of the eyes as far down as it can see into the pit.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I can jump that. :V

GM:<font color="#000000">Luckily, there seems to be a similar hook on the other side.

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is there any opening on that ledge down there, Tathi?&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Guh, dying, afk again

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If there's not any passage or door there, then no point even trying to stop at the ledge. We can just go down to the bottom.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And yes, we do have plenty of rope.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ve kan chust all slide down de rope.&quot; =3=

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Yup!

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Hmmm. There's another ledge down there. A small one. Very slight.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, Tathi, we know. Can you see any openings or doors on it?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;But then, I believe it hits the bottom.&quot; And what is that on the right side of the middel panel?

GM:<font color="#000000">An indentation in the wall. Does the eye look closer?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">That would be the ledge.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">It sure does! Hover hover hover. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">Search check.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">You should ace this.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+floor((intelligence-10)/2) = Invalid expression: 1d20+floor((intelligence-10)/2).&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; intelligence check!

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">aaack what

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Fix that later. &#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 10 + 5 = 15&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; int check!

GM:<font color="#000000">There's a symbol etched on the wall here; a vertical rectangle with a circle in the middle.

GM:<font color="#000000">The circle is slightly raised.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Curious. There's a small symbol down there. Vertical rectangle with a circle in the middle, slightly raised.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That sounds like a lantern to me.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;what was the exact message we were given?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you find your road impassable... look for the lightless lanterns in the coal-black depths, I think.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Might be a secret opening. Know what, I'll go check. I'm good with stonework and finding passages, and, well, if anythign happens to me, you guys can carry on well enough.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well if that's a lantern..there sure isn't any light coming from it. looks like that's the way we go. Any other passage out of there?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus simply peers for the moment.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gamal, catch.&quot; Gnogglebolt tosses him some rope across the pit. &quot;Tie it to the anchor on that side, I'm coming over.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Orrr you could just let Sszeyl make like a spider monkey and climb down?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Use Rope check, Gamal.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt carefully takes off the giant barrel, his cargo pack, and sets Snarky aside.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi, we just went over that.&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd catches the rope and attempts to tie it. (Use Rope Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 11 + 7 = 18&#160;  &#187;)

GM:<font color="#000000">Seems secure!

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">The most hated skill in the edition!!1!!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;They don't want to risk it.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Gnogglebolt, that was before the eye went down. Pay attention. Now we know there's nothing down there.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Would it be better if I dropped down? I'm more expendable than him.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl is absolutely not expendable, I'm better at finding secret architecture than anyone here, and we don't really expect any trouble.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Guys, this is my area of expertise.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Gnogglebolt.&quot;

* Edaric huffs. &quot;None of us are expendable.&quot; =w=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I could drop from the top of this shaft to the bottom and survive.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus grows uneasy as everyone in his flock begins considering themselves expendable. =3=;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Seriously it would at most do 30 damage, after I discount the 30ft slow fall.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi just sighs, and rolls her eyes.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt edges around the pit, carrying only his blunderbuss.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'm going with you at least gnoggle. so you aren't caught alone. you can't fight as well as Sszeyel and I.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;If this is a secret passage, I'm about the only one who can figure out the mechanism to operate it. I'm going.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Oh just get a move on. We all have to go if it's the right passage anyways.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Are you? Then make a Climb check.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gets the other end of the rope tied around his waist as a lifeline, just in case. He shortens the length of the rope to 30 ft, no further than the ledge.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">...Said with manic glee. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then lets move&quot; And with that he just leans over and drops down. take 10 on jump and tumble to negate 10 feet via jump, and 20 via tumble. He simple falls down and lands on his feet.

GM:<font color="#000000">-- oops.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Use Rope, taking 10 to tie around waist securely. &#171; &#160;10+1 = 10 + 1 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

GM:<font color="#000000">Why can't I fix you, fog. Oh well.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">With any handholds on the rough wall, and gripping the rope to slowly lower himself down, Gnogglebolt takes 10. &#171; &#160;10-1 = 10 - 1 = 9&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;. PHB lists &quot;rope with wall to brace against&quot; is DC 5 to climbe.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gets down to the ledge. &quot;Alright.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus kneels near the shaft and observes the two working. &quot;...&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Yeep, this ledge is a little slippery with coal dust.

GM:<font color="#000000">Balance checks. |3

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">32

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">take 10

GM:<font color="#000000">Reflex save, Gnogglebolt.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">can I make a reflex to try and catch him?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Eh, even if I fall, I -did- make sure to shorten the rope to 30 ft, so. &quot;Yak!&quot; Reflex save: &#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 17 + 10 = 27&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">or maybe not needed

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Even you could drop from where you are and not die.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Only 30 possible damage.

GM:<font color="#000000">While Gamal finds his footing easily, Gnogglebolt has to grab the rope to stabilize himself on the slippery layer of dust.

GM:<font color="#000000">What did I say about ruining my fun, meta man? *brick'd*

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Even Tathi would only be at negative hit points.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Be careful. Dust makes the ledge slippery. anyone havea broom?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt clings to the wall like a spider. &quot;...I knwo the rope would catch me even if I fell, but -dang- that's an awful feeling in my stomach.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I can dust it off when I'm done here. But hang on. Lemme take a look-see...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt takes 20 to seach. &#171; &#160;20+18 = 20 + 18 = 38&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; for anything that doesn't look like solid wall.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*search

GM:<font color="#000000">Oh yes, it's clearly a hidden door set into the wall.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He painstakingly goes over the wall in detail.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aha, found it!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; ..A broom..?&quot; =3=;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lemme see if I can guess how it works...&quot; Knowledge (Arch &amp; Eng) to guess how to operate the hidden door. &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 20 + 18 = 38&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Damn. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Critical Architect.

GM:<font color="#000000">Oh yes, it's quite elementary.

GM:<font color="#000000">Press button in &quot;lantern.&quot; Door slides to the side. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">That you've activated the bomb.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Stroll in the park.&quot; Gnogglebolt pushes the button, and with the sound of grinding stone, the door opens!

* Gamal-Junayd draws his blades in case as the door opens.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;All too easy.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well then. lets get everyone else down here then.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;This is the part where we start coming down.&quot;

* Anise Berilan tries to hoist Gnogglebolt's gear.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Make space.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yes, this is the part where everyone comes down. Um...can someone try and bring my gear? ^^; &quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Anise has it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I can take it down if it's too heavy.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;The rest of the rope is in the pack. Try to lower it down.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or Sszeyl can take it, if he can carry it...&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Honor's blade, how do you carry all this?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">The barrel is 50 lbs alone, and the Cargo pack is around 40--if you're wearing it to distribute the weight. If not, it's more like 120.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Trade secret, my dear!&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl holds a hand out for the pack, and takes the sparker lizard that Gnogglebolt apparently had with him, and didn't take down the shaft.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Seriously.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000"> Cattle steroids. *bricked*

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Mundane animals in a dungeon.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Yes, I said I put the sparker lizard aside.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">The hell is wrong with you. :V

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't you my dear me, you look like you're twelve.&quot; =3=

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Still, le grab.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">And -yes-, Gnogglebolt did realize this was a bad idea already. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He already wishes he left Snarky home.

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;I got it, Mister Apocalypse. Go ahead.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Ownership please, or move him as I move.

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

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Stay behind me till everyone gets here, hopefully it's a precaution unneeded, but just in case.&quot;

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl walks off the ledge, and calmly puts his hand to the wall as he falls.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">His fingers leave -gashes in the wall- as he passes.

* Dr. Hatari is amused by how Guardians universally love to take precautions -- but hate being cautioned. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">With some sparking.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;C'mere, Snarky! Heel!&quot; Handle Animal: &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Balance check needed?

Snarky:<font color="#000000">Snarky burrows into Gnogglebolt's vest again.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Don't proceed.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;There is a turnoff.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom o_o;'s at the wall-cleaving Megaman fall.

GM:<font color="#000000">Yes, a balance check is needed.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnoggleblt goes to the ledge, and--with his body on the safe side, starts dusting away the coal dust with whatever he has in his pockets.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;1d20+7 = 20 + 7 = 27&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Balance check!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Like a boss.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He uses the hem of his clothing, if need be. He works in a workshop, nothing new to him.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Smell of coal actually reminds me of the workshops...now I'm feeling all comfortable here.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl cracks open his fan and helps fan the dust off.

GM:<font color="#000000">Fort save to avoid coughing up black dust for the next few days. :B *brick'd*

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;1d20+9+mood = 19 + 9 + 1 = 29&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Fort save!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Like a boss.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Hey, I just said I'm used to working in workshops! :U

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right, comin' down, make room!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">If I smoked, this would be like smoking to me. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">me as well lia?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Tom very slowly edges around the perimeter of the shaft to the other side. Assuming the map's dimensions are to scale and he has about five feet of room to safely do so, anyways.

GM:<font color="#000000">Gamal is wearing a face mask, he's fine.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">With coal dust brushed away, Gnogglebolt waves the others the 'all clear'

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+8-3 = 8 + 8 - 3 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Climb check

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I think Anise also has slow fall, no? Or maybe not. PrC. :.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Gamal, let us scout ahead.&quot;

* Anise Berilan drops onto the platform after shimmying down the rope. &quot;Here you go, here's your crap back.&quot; Medium load, Tom.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hold it, you two.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sighs.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Let everyone get down here, and Tathi can send the eyeball.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus secures the rope around his arm a few times.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shouldn't we wait a bit for others to catch up? Were the fastest ones yes, but splitting up is a bad idea.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus can't check his ACP. =3=; *bricked*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Sszeyl, the whole reason we didn't send you ahead is you are absolutely not expendable.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Please stop trying to take unneccesary ris--&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Climb check to reppel! &#171; &#160;1d20+4-7 = 15 + 4 - 7 = 12&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187; ?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is that dragon influencing you? Is he trying to make you do these things?&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Tom makes it safely!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I have always been willful.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I always will be willful.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;If Zairith could not reliably control me, if Zilvudar could not, you have even less hope.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus lowers himself down and steps inside.

* Thomas Lazarus raises a brow. &quot;..We still have tiny flying magic eyeballs in a swarm.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well then, if you keep suggesting gallumping off on your own, I'll just keep saying no. I can keep it up.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Who's neist doon th' rope?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's what I said!&quot; Gnogglebolt turns back to Thomas.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;What is with you people? You competing for high score?&quot; &gt;.&gt;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;That have not moved for a while.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+16 = 17 + 16 = 33&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Jump, &#171;  &#160;1d20+18 = 6 + 18 = 24&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Tumble!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Mostly, I'm sick of waiting for things to happen.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt goes back to the ledge and quietly calls up. &quot;Last one down, bring the rope with you!&quot;

* Swallowtail lands silently on the ledge, not even using the rope.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Patience, Sszeyl, by the gods.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;If last one down was to bring the rope..shouldn't sszeyel or I have been the last?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus sighs in frustration and moves into position.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Aren't you supposed to be trained in self-discipline?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 18 + 1 = 19&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks at Gamal. &quot;...Probably.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I have not strangled any of you to death despite how very easy it would make my life.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Comin' down!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We can get the rope back later.&quot; =3=;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Hy'll kome nekst!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah well, not like either of you can't go back up and retrieve it in just a few seconds--oh, well then.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey. Gnoggle.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The time has come.

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

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;Take your crap back.&quot; =3=

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 5 + 2 = 7&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Climb!

* Anise Berilan holds out the backpack.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;I may be patient, but I'm also a drow on the brink of a fight. The urge to hurry and get to combat is overwhelming.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hmm? Oh, thank you, Anise.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt suits back up.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Haloo!&quot; :3

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">Dorf comes on down! &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 13 + 1 = 14&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; cllimb check

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... hang on a minute.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;How're we gonna bring the dogs down here?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi heads down afterwards. &#171; &#160;1d20 = 13&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; climb

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Watch and learn.&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Aelian ties a rope around one hound.. and lowers it down to Tathi.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Tie rope around their waists, hope they don't bark too loud?&quot;

* Edaric looks up and barely avoids getting a faceful of Dorf boot.

Amadre:<font color="#9933FF">Hi. :3

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">He repeats with the 2nd one.

GM:<font color="#000000">Aelian?

Tavia:<font color="#9933FF">Weeeeeeeee. :3

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...uhoh.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You can take 10, I think. :B

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Who wants doggie pancake?

Tavia:<font color="#000000">Fuck indeed. It seemed secure -- and then, as you were lowering it down, YIPE! It unravelled! &#171; &#160;3d6 = 10&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Tavia:<font color="#000000">CRACK. Ow. That didn't sound good.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">doesn't make enough boom eh?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnoglebolt hears the yelping of a dog. &quot;Ah! What happened?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Oh no. Did one of the dogs fall?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Would one of the clerics see to the canine?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's okay now that I'm back I got -- oh I'm like five minutes late.

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;There you go, all better -- ack away from the ledge, Tavia --&quot; Ed laughs, trying to pull the dog away from the precipice.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Is she okay now?&quot; :o

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;She's fine. C'mon, Ael!&quot;

Aelian:<font color="#9933FF">Allright, now Aelian comes down. Since apparently you can take 10 on everything. :|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*Four paths

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Thomas.. do you have a light spell prepared?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Oh.. like.. another for the eyeballs?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; ...Oh man. Those things are pests in Mazio. I hate them.&quot;

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&gt;:E

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; They're just animals, and not what we're looking for.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Let's avoid them please I'd be very happy to avoid them.&quot;

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

Arcane Eye:<font color="#000000">Eye and lights drift back. Which way do you send it now?

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Dragula breathes a sigh of relief at not being here to get totally eaten to deff.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">I would shoot them to pirces before they could! &gt;:E

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Funny story. I once did this same thing to the old Akellon party.

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Instead of just avoiding them, they were convinced that the rust monsters -must- be guarding treasure.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">So they started leading the rust monsters around very carefully with a trail of coins, desperately trying not to be seen. :B

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Fact: Parties fear rust monsters more than Balors.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">And lemme guess.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">They weren't guarding anything. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">about only thing nastier than rust monsters? disenchanters

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Nope. They were just having a meal. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">haha. |D

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">All that coin, wasted. x3

Liatai:<font color="#000000">That encounter cost the PCs about 30 gold. They wouldn't stop throwing money at it. XD

Liatai:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Is it coming closer?! THROW MORE MONEY maybe it'll eat silver pieces. D: &quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I am snorting with laughter IRL. xD

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">X3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">That is just too funny. |D

Liatai:<font color="#000000">It was an exercise in poker faces. :B

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">should of tried copper first

RAM:<font color="#990000">Did you at least give them exp?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">... since Ghost seems to be MIA, do you guys mind if I duck out for about half an hour to take care of some spaniels?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Reminds me of when we convinced Matt to throw all his gear at the primordial Bullette to escape it. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">D: Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( Go ahead. ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Rail - They -did.- :B

* RAM only has, like, an hour and a half left! D: Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'll be quick -- Skipper just needs his antibiotic, I don't want to put him behind.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Is okay.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Huh? I'm here.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">When Ghost gets back, tell him to choose a -- WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER. &gt;:E

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">The party can't decide where to send the eyeballs?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Very well then. :\

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Pick a path, you're the eyemaster. XD

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

* Ghostwish ducks.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Because he's obviously doing other things.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Like he always does.

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( He's playing FTL. ))

RAM:<font color="#990000">When he should be paying attention to Akellon. &gt;:E

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Fine, you troll. I'll be back in a few. =3=;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">oh, half-hour break? :.

* Glitch goes to get lunch!

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

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">No, shitheads, I've been sitting here watching the window.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">You seriously couldn't say, hey, point the eyeballs that way?

RAM:<font color="#990000">They're your eyeballs.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Fine, I'll hold your little baby hands and do it all by myself.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">It's your spell.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">That's the generally accepted procedure on your own magic divinations, yes.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">That the token has joint ownership is for lolz.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Doktor speaks troof.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Like how people can decide to delete it if you're being whiny.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Allright, fine.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">:P

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">The eyes wink out.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">We were honestly doing it completely wrong anyways. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/pryingEyes.htm

* Dr. Hatari is bricked.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">How?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They get consumed; and it's only in the consumation that they relay any data.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">And?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I got 11 of the buggers.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">We've used 2.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Wait, 3, forgot about the one in the shaft.

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

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

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Imma get more tea.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">And some eats.

* Meany whirlwind thunder kicks Glitch on his way out.

* RAM is gonna sit and hope we get to the fiends before he has to leave. &gt;: Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Now that I'm paying attention to FTL, good night. This variant mantis ship is OP like its funny.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Freaking early as balls flight. =3=

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Granted.. only 2 crew members. Hmmmmm.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Flight? You leaving?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Back to Manas.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Ghost, find some civilians.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Enslave them.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Get from the coal shaft to fiends? In like an hour?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Gotta be there by 0439.

RAM:<font color="#990000">*0430

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Oh, leaving the front.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Where we then find out if we're actually on the flight or not.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Which we prolly are, since there's, like, 100 open seats.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">So I've been somewhat vexed by something.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You're technically civilian as EOD, yes?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Then we sit and wait for up to 4 hours before they even let us board.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Umm, no.

RAM:<font color="#990000">No, I'm not.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I'm active duty.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, I must have misinterpreted something earlier then. Nevermind~

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

* Dr. Hatari thought that had come up before and thought it was weird.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">You're smoking crack.

RAM:<font color="#990000">And not sharing.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">He'd be making a fuckton more money, that's for sure. |D

RAM:<font color="#990000">Which is a real dick move.

RAM:<font color="#990000">And yes, yes I would.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Not sharing crack is not a dick move. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">If you count it by the hour, I make less than minimum wage.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Unless you hate life.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Have some nice safe designer drugs that aren't made by barbarians operating out of large dumpsters. *bricked*

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

* RAM got a free copy of Civ V on Steam for some reason. :.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Pre-order perk from X-COM.

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

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

* RAM already has Civ V.

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

RAM:<font color="#990000">Anyone want?

RAM:<font color="#990000">...I wonder if Lia would like it. :.

* Dr. Hatari can't think of anyone who would A.) Want to play it B.) Doesn't have it and (most importantly) C.) Actually be able to run the engine.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">C. most likely rather rules out Lia. But I never heard what her laptops stats were.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Lia's new lappy can prolly run it.

RAM:<font color="#990000">It's pretty decent from what I hear.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's significantly more demanding than Sims. But maybe. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I can only recommend Civ 5 for singleplayer.

RAM:<font color="#990000">She has Skyrim on her lappy. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">It's multiplayer capabilities are... well... gamespy.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I remember gamespy multiplayer.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Back in the days of co-op Baldur's Gate 2.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And whatever that horrible Command &amp; Conquer FPS was.

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

* RAM remembers playing that game.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Winning strategy: 1.) Do some bullshit.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">2.) Spawn Mammoth main battle tank.

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

* RAM luvs the Mammoth Tank.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I think the Overlord Tank might be better, though.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It would have been less hilarious if NOD even had a main battle tank to field.

RAM:<font color="#990000">The Overlord could be upgraded with nuke shells.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But they didn't.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">But the Overlord Tank is chinese. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">NOD's always been about the sneaky underhanded tactics.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I'll take it if you don't want it. :v

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And red lasers.

RAM:<font color="#990000">So what if it's Chinese?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Yes, and red lasers.

RAM:<font color="#990000">And the Obolisks of Light.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They love them some red lasers.

RAM:<font color="#990000">God those things were OP.

* Glitch has C&amp;C for the n64.

* Dr. Hatari enjoyed massed gunships.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I can't get past the 8th GDI mission or the...6th? NOD mission.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I'm stuck on both campaigns.

* Dr. Hatari enjoys massed gunships in every single video game where it's a possible strategy.

* RAM has always been a tank guy. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">After all...

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ladies like armor plating. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">with GDI, I'm stuck in the mission where GDI loses funding and all of a sudden I can't construct new buildings or build any vehicles, and I have to win the mission with the vehicles given and only infantry to build.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Gawd I can't get past that.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ladies like grinding treads.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ladies like superior firepower.

* Glitch highfives RAM xD

Glitch:<font color="#000000">And with NOD, I'm stuck on the mission where GDI gets the satlaser (and I get the Obelisk), but GDI is sending a -constant- stream of enemies to my base, and when I get the obelisk up for defense, they satlaser it and send a huge wave in to crush me.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gunships skip the first two and take three helpings of the last one. 83

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Gawd I can't get past that.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Rail; do you even get the reference? :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">er

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Hatari

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Not rail

RAM:<font color="#990000">Gotta hit their power plants.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">glitch, you probably need to build up a huge army, then build obelisk

RAM:<font color="#990000">They can't charge it without power.

RAM:<font color="#990000">NOD don't do huge armies.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Raid their power generation.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">I'm too busy -fighting off the endless waves- to think about a counterattack!

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">What is this Civ 5 that ram is trying to push off on us, anyway?

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Civilization 5 is a series where you manage ... a civilization. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's a pretty nuanced turn based strategy game.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Which if it's still on the market, I'll snag.

* Gamal-Junayd has a free copy from x-com as well

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Apparently. &gt;.&gt;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">You silly people.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">With your silly money.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;But you know what the difference between you and I is?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Meany, have you seriously never heard of Sid Meier's Civilizations series?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ram; if not, he's one of today's lucky 10,000 :U

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Haha, it's the #2 best seller on steam..

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">As a pre-order.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I've seen it in Walmart.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Never bought due to lack of monies.

RAM:<font color="#990000">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo9lQFPWy_M

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">You should not continue to be vexed by things Meany has not heard of. He lives under a rock.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...dammit, internet isn't working for the moment. &gt;:/

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I am a rock.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I live under bigger rocks.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">aha

Glitch:<font color="#000000">here we go.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">http://xkcd.com/1053/

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I'm pretty sure he just says he hasn't heard of incredibly common place things just to be trendy. The hipster. *bricked*

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">If the internet isn't working, how are you talking?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Meany; I was trying to navigate a page and it wasn't loading. :B

RAM:<font color="#990000">HIIIIPSTEEEER! &gt;:E

Glitch:<font color="#000000">But I loaded it. And linked it. :U

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ram, see it. :U

RAM:<font color="#990000">You already showed me.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh, I did? Well, I just linked it now because you seem to have forgotten its lesson. :U

RAM:<font color="#990000">I didn'tforget.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I just don't give a shit. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">But saying 'what kind of idiot doesn't know about the Yellowstone supervolcano' is so much more boring than telling someone about the Yellowstone supervolcano for the first time! :U

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Oh, interesting.

RAM:<font color="#990000">http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/540

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">DID YOU INFLICT THEM ON US.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">The effect would probably be lost in translation to tabletop. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">ram; a few comics later than the one you linked is also surprisingly relevant. :U http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/551

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But you're navigating dank caves. Mutant rats scurrying about trying to eat you. You don't have no super-fancy HUD; you have a crappy flashlight and real iron sights to go by. No music. Just sounds of hissing pipes and squeaking ventilation fans turning in ducts. You've cleared your immediate surroundings; you're crouch-walking down a nearly black tunnel illuminated only by flickering decades old emergency lighting.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">And then suddenly FUCK YOU PSIONICS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWG1vqRd9r0

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">This is totally awesome.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Yah, if no one wants their free civ, I'll take it. :&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Come to think of it, I've upgraded my GPU and Ram since I last played it, so maybe my weird display issue from before will be resolved. I'll keep mine. Probably won't play it.. but.. &gt;.&gt;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Sounds like we're still floating two spares.

* Dr. Hatari preferred Civ 4.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">theres a lot of nice thigns in civ 5...if only it was as stable as civ 4

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Stable?

* Dr. Hatari shrugs.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I didn't care for the city states really.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">multiplayer has high DC's cause of gamespy

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">They felt like whiny quest givers to me. Rather out of place in the environment.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But then I didn't play very much.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">the city states got a lot more added to them in the expansion. the requests are more often, and you can actually gian influence just by doing them stuff. course theres also a new nation that can basically absorb city states at will

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">make em friendly, then marry em

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">I love city states. I manipulate the shit out of them.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Yeah, I'd be sticking to the single player if I can finagle it out of one of you. :p

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">If I find a friendly militant city state, I never produce a single military unit.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I'm kinda tired of Multiplayer games when I want to murder things.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">multiplayer on civ has so much potential..mainly because single player on higher difficulties the AI blatently cheats

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">What did the far right one see before it winked out?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ghost; it -didn't return-.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">You didn't get anything from it.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Shit, right.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi waits a moment, then purses her lips. &quot;One didn't return. We may have contact.&quot; She says, and points down the far right tunnel.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Didn't return? ....Why might it not have returned?&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, I guess we have a path. Anything interesteing elsewhere?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Hmm.&quot; He frowns, and considers both tunnels.

GM:<font color="#000000">Three eyes remain.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;You want I look?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; Gnogglebolt glances to Swallowtail.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Swallowtail, something happened to that eye, you're a lot less expendable than an eye.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Edaric, how many times can you do that speechlink thing?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I bored.&quot; &gt;:\

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

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;You also can't see in the dark, chickie.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Get a boyfriend.&quot;

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

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;How much it cost to get glasses that see in dark?&quot; :|

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But, tathi, you didn't--!!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Wait a second!&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt pulls something out of his cargo pack and fiddles with it. UTD: &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 17 + 18 = 35&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">That's it! We'll all get boyfriends!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He holds...up some goggles to Swallowtail. &quot;Put these on.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... they will not explode my face, yes?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;No, it will not, I already turned it on.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I would be very wary about putting anything explosive that close to my face.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">some may prefer girlfriends though

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just don't poke it too much and you'll be fine.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Two more, but it cuts into the amout of times I can cast some of my best combat magic.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Or get close to an open flame.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Or douse it in water.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Or sweat too much.&quot;

* Swallowtail warily puts on the goggles.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Darkvision: In this mode, the goggles provide 60 feet of darkvision, but the wearer becomes exceptionally vulnerable to bright lights. If she enters an area of normal lighting, she takes a &#8211;2 penalty on attack rolls, ability checks and skill checks. In addition, she automatically fails saving throws to avoid begin blinded or dazed by light effects or attacks.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">BOOM. INSTANT BLINDNESS.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Whatever you do though, if you see a bright light, don't look directly at it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just look away or take them off.&quot;

* Swallowtail staggers a little. &quot;-- Too bright in here!&quot; DX

* Thomas Lazarus peers at the goggles. :.

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

</i> <font color="#0000ff">RAM is disconnected.

</i> Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">..... tech she's in an area of normal lightin- XD

* Thomas Lazarus covers his light. &quot; Sorry.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Take them off! Put them on where it gets dark.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then it will be fine.&quot;

* Swallowtail feels her way to the wall.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">^^; &quot;.. Here, Swallowtail.&quot; A few chords and a tap later -- &quot;There, you should be good to go.&quot;

* Swallowtail nods, not looking toward the light. Ninja... vanish! &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 5 + 12 = 17&#160;  &#187; &#171;  &#160;1d20+14 = 19 + 14 = 33&#160;  &#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just don't touch any of those knobs on the side. See?'&quot; Gnogglebolt points them out. &quot;Don't touch those.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Welcome to my world.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Ninja I am trusting you with this. Scout. Scout and not die. Like our eye died. You're a big girl now and you're ready for some responsibilities.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...actually.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">CALL US WHEN YOU GET THERE D: Glitch:<font color="#000000">These things flat out won't explode at all. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Malfunction: The goggles switch into the desired mode normally but then get stuck in it, requiring 1 hour and a DC 15 Craft (technological device) check to repair.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">BEDTIME IS 12 O CLOCK.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi peers. &quot;Bardic magic is so preposteriously silly..&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">There's a pause after Swallowtail disappears. &quot;(I speak Amayan, too, you know.)&quot; He chuckles. &quot;(All right, be careful.)&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And actually, trust me on this one, these goggles won't ever explode at all. Worst thing that can happen is the mode-setting gets jammed.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;I'm pretty sure none of it uses bat poop, though.&quot; =w=

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright...Edaric, keep talking to us.&quot; Gnogglebolt says, looking apprehensively down the dark tunnel.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">And that's how her story ended. *bricked*

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Wizards use bat poop? And you call me silly -- (No, Swallowtail, it's not important.)&quot; X3 &quot;(See anything?)&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt turns from watching the corridor to watching Edaric intently.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Watching for even the smallest change in Edaric's facial expressions.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">:B

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... She says there are two lights ahead, and voices talking in a language she doesn't recognize. She wants to know if she should get closer.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;It's arcanic!&quot; &gt;:|

* Thomas Lazarus grins a little, but continues watching the passage.

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

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Ask her to try and repeat some of the words they are saying.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is she still invisible?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...Only if she does it while invisible.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Perhaps Gnogglebolt knows it.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ask her to try and repeat any words she can make out.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I might know something.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">It's that weird Cthulhu words that drive you insane by hearing it.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">whoa, that's actually a pretty badass pic. :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's eyes widen.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Oh, lovely.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">... I just realized something..

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;We'll have a gift for Barbarus when we go back.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I guess these aren't the black cloaks, whover they are.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">If you can't see through the eyes constantly, how the heck do you control them? Are they autonomous?

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;She's on her way back. She says there were some green people with polearms with them.&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Good question. WIZARDS.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Looks like the DM gets to fill in the wotc blanks again. :\

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ghostwish; as far as I can tell from the spell; you give it an instruction to go out to some distance you specify, then come back.

* Thomas Lazarus squints. Knowledge: Planes: &#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 11 + 10 = 21&#160;  &#187;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">you give them instruction set to send em out

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">25 word instruction set

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">That would make it line of sight. Read: Useless.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Green people with hellhounds..&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">ah, what Rail said.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">You give the eye 25-word instructions.

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">It seems Tangledweb is doing upgrades to their site.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- She says they're looking around and headed this way.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...I'm guessing that's really bad?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Barbarus what?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Their site is looking more swanky, if incomplete.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everyone, form up!&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Barbazu; bearded devils. Green, stocky, ugly beards. Pikemen of Hell.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;They did have ugly beards.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gamal, the're coming from the right passageway. The only passage out of decent line of sight is the immediate next one so that's only -one- passage.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And then they would have more maneuvering room than us.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;That's them.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">Ah, but some could be further back, to make them charge past the other passage, and then we hit them

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right here. Melee folks, form a concave circle around this passage!&quot;

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">At'll do

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ah, perfect.&quot;

* Swallowtail turns invisible, loading a bolt into her hand crossbow -- oh. So someone else is botting her? :B

* Dr. Hatari is baffled.

Swallowtail:<font color="#FF0000">Unfortunately, she can't see anything! &gt;:O So she, yes, loads a bolt and backs away into invisibility. Ready action to shoot the first fiend that comes within 30 feet of her.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Spell-Like Abilities: A dryad&#8217;s charm person effect and the greater teleport ability of many devils are spell-like abilities Usually, a spell-like ability works just like the spell of that name. A few spell-like abilities are unique; these are explained in the text where they are described. A spell-like ability has no verbal, somatic, or material component, nor does it require a focus or have an XP cost. The user activates it mentally. Armor never affects a spell-like ability&#8217;s use, even if the ability resembles an arcane spell with a somatic component. A spell-like ability has a casting time of 1 standard action unless noted otherwise in the ability or spell description. In all other ways, a spell-like ability functions just like a spell.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Shall I send one of the eyes forward?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus murmurs, &quot;Indeed,&quot; towards Gnogglebolt. &quot;..How hard is it to use? Could you arm militia with them?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Send one eye down each path.&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd looks around. doe she by any chance see any marks of 'lightless lanterns; at any of hte paths?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Except the cave in path to the north.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;And how much silver did you need to make all that holy water?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks down at it. &quot;...Maybe. It's a little harder to aim than the bombchucker, but it does have a wide-spray mode.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Ooh. I don't know. Roll a Search check, Gamal.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Of course, the real problem is getting enough holy water, as you and I discussed already.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Good idea.&quot; Tathi says, and sends the eyes out with simple instructions. Follow the right wall, come back if you see anyone.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">*devise

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Well. Something to consider, I suppose. If you could make a light version that's easy to use.. civilians could route undead infestations with those..&quot; :.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ack. Should have mentioned that earlier.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">Gamal and Sszeyl, searching independently, see nothing.

* Thomas Lazarus tries not to get too distracted.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well, if they see it, I'll see it.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Ahem.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;That said, this device is very cheap.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Swalowtail, if you were to put an indicator of the correct path, were would you put it?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus considers.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;.. Where a human in the dark wouldn't look for it.. at the top of the archway.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;...&quot; Swallowtail steps closer to the leftmost passageway, peering at the ceiling. &quot;Light.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;theres something there or you need light?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I can't help feel that someone stole my line.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">That's called learning. =w=

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">It was very wise, I learned it from you.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">:3

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">As did I.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;So..looks like we can skip the eyes, and follow the symbols&quot;

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

* Thomas Lazarus shrugs.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Long square with circle, here.&quot; She points up. Then points over toward the rubble. &quot;Over there, above. Circle with cross.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Let us know if they saw fiends, I guess.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Keep the remaining eyes in reserve though, just in case.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well.. I still have to wait for them to come back..&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">:&gt;

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

GM:<font color="#000000">Right on cue, one floats back from the left. It reports another junction, and came back reporting seeing a floating light.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Religion on the circle with the cross.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;What is it, then?&quot; :.

* Thomas Lazarus steps closer to investigate. &quot;A god's sign. Cuthbert's maybe. Could be Kord's.&quot;

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

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Hrm. There's another junction, with a floating light in it. To the left.&quot; Uh, crap, how many eyeballs left now?

Glitch:<font color="#000000">eyeball counter is outdated. :B

GM:<font color="#000000">The one from the top right passageway returns shortly thereafter, reporting a wide open room and a bunch of green fiends.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;The path is lightless lanterns, not lit one&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">The one to the bottom right... ... ...

GM:<font color="#000000">... is taking an awful long time to come back.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;See the passage to the north east? A lot of green fiends that way.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...So, we have one path that follows the 'lightless lanterns', and one that leads to more fiends...&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">... a really long time. How long do you wait?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Aha, that's the path to the Underdark.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Hrm. That one is taking a long time. How long should we wait?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks down the remaining passage way. &quot;The longer it takes, the less likely it's coming back, right? And the less likely it goes where we want to go?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Not too long. An Erinyes is probably preparing to return here with a larger force to investigate us.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We should keep moving.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Right, let's get moving. It'll catch up, regardless.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Avoid conflict for now, and keep going?&quot;

Arcane Eye:<font color="#9933FF">AND SO THE EYE GOES ON A MAGICAL JOURNEY.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;But which way, though? Towards more fiends, or following the lanterns?&quot;

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Godspeed, magic eye.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;must admit, I'm leaning more towards following the lanterns.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Follow the lightless lantern symbols&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Every time our friends gave us mysterious advice, not following it would have been tragic.&quot;

Anise Berilan:<font color="#000000">&quot;If that circle's Cuthbert's or Kord's, though, it's worth checking out later.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;And we want to meet up with Tathi's father as soon as possible so we can properly investigate.&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( I never did get my knowledge result. :B ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;As you want, Thomas, we're not just here to look for a fight...&quot;

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( But I rolled before stating intent. ))

Sszeyl: <font color="#cc0066">(( So it's okay. ))

* Thomas Lazarus nods. He murmurs grimly, &quot;Much as I hate the thought of letting any fiends go, there will always be more fiends until we route this infestation's source. We must find our friends.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;His name is Raerarael, by the way.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Agreed. Lanterns it is. Let's go everyone, form up, marching line.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You get the same as Tom said. It could be Cuthbertine, or Kordite.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt sidles up behind Thomas as everyone organizes to march.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">He leans up to whisper.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; By the way, Thomas, I've been thinking of something.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus peers around, murmuring devil trivia. Whether its to be helpful or just something he's doing as a nervous tic is becoming unclear; &quot;They can gate and bargain and call each other -- and those others can in turn gate even more. One fiend in an area so inclined could call in a whole army, if there were some purpose for them all to deign to remain in our world, there.. ... ..the only way to solve this problem is to get rid of the mortals or artifacts attracting them.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl examines the ceiling.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Improvised search or assist, if no one rolls higher than me.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 16 + 2 = 18&#160; <font color="#CC0066">&#187; Int check!

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt absorbs all the devil trivia. Worryingly.

* Thomas Lazarus pauses to listen to Gnogglebolt.

GM:<font color="#000000">Oddly enough, you see no symbols.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Earlier, you told me if you were to...try to call for help, you didn't think you'd be able to attract anything particularly powerful.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; Why is that? Is there any way to...I dunno...boost? Get something more powerful?&quot;

* Gamal-Junayd checks other areas. never know if they might move em around. (Search Check : &#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 10 + 3 = 13&#160;  &#187;)

* Thomas Lazarus nods while glaring around at tunnels and keeping a grip on his sword.

GM:<font color="#000000">No symbols.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;could the circle and cross been a misleading symbol? do we have to go back and look for the normal symbol?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I certainately hope not..&quot;

* Swallowtail looks around, as well.&#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 12 + 10 = 22&#160;  &#187;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Maybe.. ... ..but the problem is that I'm just neither an advanced nor experienced summoner. Conjurer. Whatever.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt blinks and looks around, hearing the update. &quot;Uh...Tathi, how many of those eye-things do you have left?&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... no symbols... Tathi, which way did you send eye thing?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">She used all three.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;There are stronger rituals, but I can't manage them yet.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">One hasn't come back yet.

Arcane Eye:<font color="#000000">Speak o' the eyeball!

* Thomas Lazarus seems surprised. :.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well here it is. Let's see.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Its gained a level :O

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;There is always the off chance that a god can send someone along to help if they hear their name mentioned, and the context was appropriate.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;So everyone pick a god, and say a quick prayer.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks back to Thomas. &quot; So there's...no way to perform this stronger ritual? Gnogglebolt looks up at the approaching eye. &quot;Wait, which way did that one come from?&quot;

Arcane Eye:<font color="#000000">A beleaguered eyeball limps through the air toward Tathi, revealing the passageway twisting, turning, and opening into a massive cavern that seemed to go on forever. It followed the wall, then went downward, and retreated in a hurry when it saw an even bigger eyeball.

* Thomas Lazarus glances to Sszeyl. &quot;..That's true, but, common folk invoke the names of gods so often that I don't imagine they pay too much attention to such direct pleas.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;You're a cleric of the sun god.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Invoking his name carries more weight, correct?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;And....I could call to the moon god, see if he notices it then.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well. It found the underdark apparently. A good thing we didn't go that route.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Can't say I'd want his help but...&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;... and it found a beholder. Goodness I hope that thing didn't follow.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Mm.. well.. there could be a way if it were inscribed into a ritual scroll. Sometimes lower acolytes cast such miracles other scribes have made. Spells too strong for themselves.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;A... what?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..It might fail, however. I'm not ready for that spell.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus raises a brow.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt glances back at Tathi, and his eyes widen. &quot;....The Underdark...we...we can go to the Underdark from here...?&quot; Gnogglebolt seems to shrink an inch. &quot;....I've never been those close to it. o.o&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: Any horror stories I can share?

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Be grateful.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( A beholder. GG. XP ))

You whisper to Meany: Mainly hearsay. Sszeyl has never seen a beholder.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;A beholder. Large, nasty aberration native to the underdark. Known for turning people to dust with its eyes, or canceling spells, or a host of other nasty abilities out of its many eyes.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;This area of the underdark is a wild place. Monsters and demons and worse gather here.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus: <font color="#ff0000">(( It would be the first monster of the campaign I put into 'super deathbeast' tier. :B ))

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt blinks in surprise at the information Tathi relays, then turns back to Thomas. &quot; Oh, really? Huh.&quot;

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">&quot;Too bad you couldn't try and have en eye attract the beholders attention, then go to those devils..and wait there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; ...I wonder where you could get such a 'scroll'...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Shall I try invoking the moon god, see if it gets anything out of him besides a huff?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Since we're not moving anywhere...&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;--Anyway!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus shrugs. &quot;Lorellon. It has the largest established church. Or adventurers hubs. They traffick such magic often. Possibly other churches, but, that is a powerful spell.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Who is this moon god and why do you keep talking about him?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi! How many eyes do you have left? Do you have any left?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;The godking of the elves.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Hey, Gnogglebolt, take the goggles off and look around. Do you see any!?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;The chief diety.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... isn't Corellon Larethian a moon god?&quot; Ed looks at Tathi oddly.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...Oh, so you're out. Okay, you could have said that...hmm.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt gets out the Catseye Goggles again. &quot;Well...&quot;

* Swallowtail hands Gnogglebolt's goggles back while she remembers to do so.

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">Someone take 20 to search before we resort to an Underdark campaign.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Swallowtail...think you're up to invisible scouting without the speechlink?&quot;

* Sszeyl takes 20 to search.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hey, it hasn't been an hour yet.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;The speechlink should still be active -- unless you ended it, Swallowtail?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;--Oh, that speechlink is still working?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well!&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus is too scatterbrained to ever get 20. u.u

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;... How end it? I am no mage.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt fiddles with the goggles to turn them back on UTD: &#171; &#160;1d20+18 = 18 + 18 = 36&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Don't end it now!&quot; o.o;;; &quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Here you go again, Swallowtail.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Oh. Okay.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;..,.By the way, what do you think of them? I mean, aside from the little blinding problem...&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is not little problem.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks eager for feedback on his craft. :D

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl clears his throat and mutters under his breath.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;But better than nothing.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, still, aside from that.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Which way I go?'

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">I am not going to begin just asking for help from Pelor verbally. :T

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's lip pouts slightlty, but then shrugs.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Pick one, doesn't matter.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We'll need to check both anyway.&quot;

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tathi, which way did you send eye?&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi recounts all the locations that the eyes have been, because the player doesn't remember.

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

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It.. it went west. &gt;.&gt;

* Dr. Hatari holds the power of decision in the palm of his hand. COWER.

Sszeyl whispers: (&quot;Corellon Larethian, if you happen to get this message and are so inclined to do anything, there is a fiend infestation going on around the Yoriver town of the Akellon Nation, near the forest of woof elves used to stand. Any assistance you'd be willing to grant would be appreciated.&quot;) In elven, of course.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">I can read your Bluff check, you. :| *brick'd*

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&quot;I check left first.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right, good luck. Watch out for fiends.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt resumes watching Edaric's expressions.

Swallowtail:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 3 + 12 = 15&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; &#171;  &#160;1d20+14 = 11 + 14 = 25&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Wait, did Swallowtail turn invisible before going off?

* You roll to yourself: 1d20+16 =&gt; 14 + 16 = 30* You roll to yourself: 1d20+16 =&gt; 14 + 16 = 30* You roll to yourself: 1d20+11 =&gt; 12 + 11 = 23* You roll to yourself: 1d20+5 =&gt; 9 + 5 = 14Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... (all right, I'll pass it on, stay hidden just in case. Who knows if they can turn invisible.)&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms and looks uncomfortable. He watches Ed for news.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;She says the passage turns around and heads to the right, and there's another junction with two passageways. She wants to know which way to go.&quot;

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, she already went to the 'left', so just tell her to keep following the left-hand rule.&quot;

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;(Hey, Swallowtail, are there any symbols in that hallway?)&quot; :.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;ask her this; how often can she turn invisible?&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... She's looking for symbols, hold on.&quot;

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

</i> Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Yo~

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;..Ask her if it's clear for us to move up to the junction. I don't like leaving her further than a few moments past arms reach while there are fiends moving through reality looking for us.&quot;

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... She smells smoke down the passageway to the right, but there's a symbol on the ceiling near there. ... An empty rectangle.&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">You missed fiend killing.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Welcome back mysteriously.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">!! I didn't even realize ram DC'd! :O

RAM:<font color="#990000">Yaaay terminal wifi!

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Are you onna plane?

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

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;(Swallowtail, is it clear for us to move up to the junction? Tom's getting worried.)&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">...I missed everything though, didn't I? &gt;: Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Yes.

Edaric:<font color="#000000">&quot;... She says it looks clear.&quot;

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Yeah. You missed the actual fight. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">But you shot some devils.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Shot some devils good!

RAM:<font color="#990000">It's not the same. &gt;: * Thomas Lazarus nods and walks down there, then.

* RAM sads. ;~;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright, let's catch up with her again. And Ed, ask her that question?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Ow.&quot;

Ball of Light:<font color="#000000">Will save, Tom.

Ball of Light:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you all right?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Will: &#171; &#160;1d20+14 = 13 + 14 = 27&#160; <font color="#FF0000">&#187;

* Thomas Lazarus frowns and looks back. &quot;...?&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Och.&quot; The dwarf says as Edaric bumps into em. &quot;Aincha seen an angel befoar?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is still looking awed at the ball. &quot;''Actually its not an angel. Those are a kind of celestial.&quot; Wait, how did Gnogglebolt know that?''

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is still looking awed at the ball. &quot; Actually its not an angel. Those are a kind of celestial. &quot; Wait, how did Gnogglebolt know that?

Ball of Light:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Please, you may... want to talk to an exorcist,&quot; the ball says to Sszeyl.

* Thomas Lazarus frowns.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Your words are like knives into my eyes.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;...We're.... working on it.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're working on that actually, friend from Above...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;Please stop addressing me directly.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;It needs a special exorcist. But we have things to do here first.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot; Please excuse us. And thank you for helping down here..&quot;

Ball of Light:<font color="#000000">Tom's hand passes through the wall.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Thomas presumably discovers that the wall is less real than it first looked?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">He wades part way through and offers a hand back to the others. &quot;Come on. It's a defense. As expected.&quot;

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Tathi cautiously follows.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks as Thomas as he...moves partway through a wall.

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

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

* Gamal-Junayd tries to go through as well. will save (Will Save : &#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 1 + 5 = 6&#160;  &#187;)

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">The dwarf just walks right through. :|

* Swallowtail continues offering prayers and thanks to the spirit -- until Anise drags her through the wall.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gammal cannot handle how freaking real the wall looks in HD.

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt steps closer, but then stops and turns to look at the ball of light. &quot;By...by any chance, friend...do you know if there's anywhere in the city we might find, um...what was it...a ritual scroll of a powerful call for aid from other beings like you?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks back curiously.

Ball of Light:<font color="#000000">&quot;Go up, and you may find what you seek.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt bows reverently. &quot;Thank you. Thank you. And we will do all we can to stop the flow of the Dark Ones that have come here.&quot; Gnogglebolt then turns and moves towards the wall, and tries to move through it. Since he -knows- it's not real, is that an automatic will disbeliefe, or check anyway but with a bonus modifier?

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">If it's a check, Shankfang'll prolly fail it, even with a bonus. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I think there's some illusion rule caveat that allows us to just guide the rest of the party through once we've made it.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Or do we just daisy-chain each other and pull each other through by the hand?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Yeah, that. Let's do that.

Ball of Light:<font color="#000000">... Hold, demon. You cannot pass into this sacred space.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It is, afterall, not a physical barrier to them. So unless they flip their shit and claw us as we pull them through..

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 5 + 2 = 7&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Will save. :B

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">RACIST.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Yyyyep, no way he'd succeed.

GM:<font color="#000000">Blatant discrimitaion, this is!

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066"><b>I think she means me.

</b> Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Shut up.

GM:<font color="#000000">Fiiiiiine, I'll hand the mic back over to the squiggly.

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000"> We have a lot of evil with us, don't we.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">wait, was that said aloud, or just an OOC shenannigan. :B

Glitch:<font color="#000000">-ooh. xD

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Aww. No more fiends. &gt;: GM:<font color="#000000">Zzzz... Oh?

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Yyyaaay! \o/

* Tavia licks the squiggly. :3

GM:<font color="#000000">-- Hi! :D

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">*HUG'D*

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Anyway, as Gnogglebolt is pulled through the wall...if anyone's looking at him, they might notice he has a slightly dazed, dreamily distant look..and a small tear is leaking from one eye.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot; That was the first time I've ever seen one...it was beautiful...&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">... the DM lost track of me.

* Thomas Lazarus offers an almost pitteous smile as he shepards the gnome along. &quot;...&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">&quot;It was painful.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Try to stay sharp, friend. We're still in the lion's den.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt is easily sheparded.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt shakes his head and tries to come around. &quot;Right...right. Mission. Fiends. Still around. Gotta get'em.&quot;

GM:<font color="#000000">A wave of warm air passes over you as you pass through the illusion... the cave beyond is comfortably warm.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Gotta get'em...&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Ooh, toasty.&quot; :3

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

* Thomas Lazarus furrows his brow at the appearance of new figures.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">OSHIT BLACK CLOAKS!

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

* Thomas Lazarus speaks up on sight. &quot;Hail.&quot;

Black Cloak 1:<font color="#000000">Two people in black cloaks, wearing featureless steel masks, look up at you as you enter, standing guard.

* Tasher thrashes his tail about. &gt;:|

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">roll init to dogpile on shank before he can hug?

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt looks ahead, and stares for a moment--before he registers what he's looking at and his eyes fully clear from the glaze.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh. Well. That's who we're looking for. Hello, steel masks.&quot;

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

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

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;We're given to believe you can get in and out of Yoriver undetected. Can you help us?&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus looks the figures over carefully. He shoots Anise a brief look.

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">One of the masked figures draws back its hood and removes its mask. &quot;You're in Yoriver, friend. And if you got past the archon, you must be a friend.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus smiles.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt'

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hello, brother.&quot; She nods to Thomas.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Gnogglebolt's jaw drops agape for a moment, then he closes it.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Pretty token. :B

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well. We are in a sanctuary of friends, now.&quot;

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">&quot;Are dey from hyu temple, Tomas?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Glad to see a friendly face after half a dozen tense meetings with mysterious faces -- and Baatezeu.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus nods faintly, noting holy symbols.

Arcane Knight:<font color="#000000">The other one also draws back his hood and mask, though he isn't wearing templar garb, nor any overt Pelorite symbols.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh yeah, there are devils back in the passages we came from.&quot;

Dorf Aias:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Bah. Mair sunny folk. Where's a guid tavern whin yi''ll need one?&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;... We know.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;They're looking for something. I think it might be you.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Alright. Just checking.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Inquisitor Thomas Lazarus. Castleton branch. Here with the Vigilant Guardians.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;We're here to help put a stop to this crisis.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;...We also have allies on the inside who haven't been able to meet up with you properly yet.&quot;

* Arcane Knight nods. &quot;Hail, brother.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Incidentally, we planned to meet them in your very temple aboveground.&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">--Whoah wait, are you actually my brother?? =3=

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">Looks like it. :B

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You have a BETTER THOMAS TOKEN THAN ME. D: Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">What does THAT MEAN?? D: *bricked*

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

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Pardon, I forgot to roll this guy a name.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">YOUR NAMELESS LONG LOST TWIN

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Thompson Lazarus.

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">he's from a long lost branch of the lazarus family

Arcane Knight:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor Ansramil Hawkin.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus offers a salute at that. &quot;Thank God..&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Inquisitor...I take it that if you're with a Pelorite here, you're not with the other badge-wearers actually mixed up in this mess?&quot;

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Can you two tell us anything about what's going on here?&quot;

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">Sszeyl seems busy wiping blood off his face with a handkerchief.

* Arcane Knight salutes back. &quot;There's a lot to tell.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- But first! You look injured. You should get out of the caves and head above. Make yourselves comfortable. Tell the other templars you followed the lanterns; they'll be able to find you a place to rest. Be careful... it's... pretty crowded up there.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;I imagine. Um...question.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Is it alright if we introduce our insiders to you?&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Because they know of you, but haven't managed to really get in touch. And they don't know for sure that you're friends.&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;People know fiends can't come onto hallowed ground.&quot;

* Thomas Lazarus squints. &quot;...?&quot;

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can talk more about that when you're properly tended to, and when we're not standing guard. Please, head upward to the temple.&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: What does that make you, I wonder.

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">&quot;Okay, very well. Thank you so much for your hospitality and assistance.&quot;

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

You whisper to Meany: The dragon is oddly silent.

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;You two would make a lovely couple.&quot;

Sszeyl whispers: ''Also, any ideas why that lantern thing burned out ears with every word. Particularly that C-word?''

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

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Be wary, sister. You may not yet have had occasion to discover that that's not entirely true. Don't lower your guard completely.&quot;

You whisper to Meany: Still silence.

Sszeyl whispers: our*

Thomas Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&quot;Thank you. And remain vigilant.&quot;

Gnogglebolt:<font color="#000000">Sooo... doot doot up to the temple?

Pelorite Templar:<font color="#000000">&quot;We will. Same to you.&quot;

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

GM:<font color="#000000">And the temple map actually isn't done. So shall we nom and get to the temple next session? :3

Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Yaaaaaaaaay. :3

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Very well

* Dr. Hatari bricks.

Shankfang the Deffrider:<font color="#990000">No more fiends. &gt;: Tathi:<font color="#9933FF">Weird. I only have one. Sszeyl - megaman drop

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Thomas - I don't LIKE malconvokers, but they MIGHT be on our side! (that general discussion) Shankfang - But I wanna use my bike. ;~; Everyone- The Pit! Unless it's already EXP'd as a challenge. Edaric - Emergency Vet! Swallowtail - IwannascoutIwannascoutIwanna-YAY! Everyone - Close Encounters of the Celestial Kind

Gamal-Junayd:<font color="#000000">tathi for eyes. sszeyel for wanting to go ahead on his own time and again even though he's the one person we cna't lose thomas it's an illusion

GM:<font color="#000000">There's no harm in seeing it now. Follow the bouncing Rin!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;temple of incredible badassness?&quot;

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Altonor.

* Glitch zooms out

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I sense he is near.

Sszeyl:<font color="#CC0066">I must visit violence upon him.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Kordite Priest: TIME TO PRAY! *starts punching people*

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">odd.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Ghost didn't troll this.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">By the way, I think the way you did this map was quite clever

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I expected some Eisens.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Why do you think I go to this temple?

GM:<font color="#000000">Fun fact - Priest and Priestess are husband and wife. Battle couple!

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">And Kepplers.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">And Qs.

Espada:<font color="#990000">So many buff people! :O

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I smell an espada.

GM:<font color="#000000">Look for Teeny Rin.

Espada:<font color="#990000">I wanna arm-wrestle them! :D

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Malachite. Must prepare Kor for the ultimate battle.

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">You did not just issue an arm-wrestling challenge in a camp of Kordites.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">oh, there it is

Espada:<font color="#990000">Yes I did! &gt;:3

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">Alright, line up. &gt;|3

* Espada POWER SURGES! &gt;:D

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Damn. How differently would things have gone if we went THIS way? o.o

Teeny Rin:<font color="#FF0000">They would have went badassly, obv.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">and Rareraraeerl and Tomiko said they'd meet us at the Pelor temple aboveground! :U

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

GM:<font color="#000000">True. It's still only about 10 or 11 AM o'pocketwatch.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">in the morning hours, I thought?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Can we change direction? |3

GM:<font color="#000000">They said they'd meet you there at night.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">....really? I could've sworn they said 'meet us at the pelor temple in the morning...'

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">I like Hanz &amp; Franz the doormen. :B

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">They must speak with Austrian accents.

Kordite Matron:<font color="#000000">Actually, these two were the gatekeepers. Just hidden behind the door.

Kordite Fox:<font color="#990000">Ah, there we go! :B

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">&gt;:O

GM:<font color="#000000">There was also a gelatinous cube at the bottom of the mineshaft, so good on you guys for not falling down it.

Kordite Fox:<font color="#990000">Hi~!

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...a question. If we play our cards right, is it possible we could still end up in this place?

Kordite Fox:<font color="#990000">Tomi gets fox nuzzles! :D

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

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It is 11 AM.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">You love that cube at the bottom trick don't you. :P

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">TIME TO DRINK &amp; FIGHT.

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

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">If this isn't fixed by tomorrow.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Gnogglebolt for Celestial awe.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I am reconstructing my sheets.

Kordite Fox:<font color="#990000">Fighting and drinking time?! :D

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Edaric for Otacon and Swallowtail for Snake. *bricked*

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Nothing for Celestial Ow?

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">I do actually have a justification for that, btw. :B

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Your normal creep ain't gonna earn nominations no more. We're all used to it now. ;)

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Well.

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

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Yeah, that was actually okay. A nom for Sszeyl for angry psychic-nosebleed dragon. :B

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">Although I don't know why a dragon would give an especially big damn about archons one way or another. :B

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Because the Dragon is a Ghost.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Thus an Undead.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">It's not like he would concern himself with defending conceptual evil like he was Gargamel or something.

Meany:<font color="#CC0066">Can't stop watching German Sparkle Party.

Dr. Hatari:<font color="#FF0000">He's still a sufficiently strong ghost to NoSell Solars trying to seal him. :B

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Look under Malachite and beside the broody one.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Oh. Hee. xD

Tomiko Lazarus:<font color="#FF0000">It's one of our gods tenets to give zero fucks.
