TMG:Hmm. tathi and Sszeyl's tokens are missing their quickref stats :o

TMG:and barbarus too

Liatai:Oh for crying out loud! XD

TMG:wut? o.o

Faerie has connected.

TMG:what happened, Liatai?

Liatai:People need to save their tokens so I don't drag tokens without stats in from other maps! XD

Liatai:Heyo, Fae. :3

TMG:wait


 * Faerie waves

TMG:actually

Dr. Hatari has connected.

TMG:laiati, check what property set the tokens are using

TMG:that might be it, they might have gotten shunted back to basic by default


 * Ghostwish raises paw. "Forwarding the motion that multiple money fields is silly and unecessary. The format P.G.S.C works just fine, kthxbai.

TMG:well, they're not showing up in quickref. :B

TMG:it's not really a big deal...

Liatai:Hatari, feel free to drop your token anywhere the i can see. :3

TMG:So, ghost, have you filled in your stats yet? I still can't see tathi :B

TMG:You too for sszeyl, meany :B

Liatai:.. Pun unintended. ^^'

VAE has connected.

Ghostwish:growlsnarl

Liatai:o.o?

TMG:what? o.o is something wrong?

Ghostwish:growlsnarl!

Liatai:What is it, Ghost? Timmy fell down the well? o.o

Dr. Hatari:Oop ^^;

Ghostwish:growlsnarl!

TMG:...anyway.

TMG:Alex, you here?

Faerie:YoTMG:Alrighty. Remember where elros left off, right?

Liatai:VAE, same to you; drag your token out to wherever the i can see. :3

Faerie:Elros had finished giving his report without incident, I think we agreed, and was going back to the Bronze Boot.

Liatai:Yep, exactly!

TMG:Alrighty! ANd with that, I think you can set the stage, DM :)

Liatai:Let's give people a few more minutes to settle in -- take bio breaks, grab food and/or beverages, finish filling out papers -- and then I'll sound the roll call. :3


 * Dr. Hatari shall do just that.

TMG:Ah, alrighty

Ghostwish:growlsnarl!


 * Liatai casts Speak with Animals.

Liatai:Growlsnarl?

Ghostwish:Quite, my good chap.


 * Ghostwish smokes pipe.


 * Meany uncages Insanity Wolf.

Liatai:I do believe you mean lady or lass, good chap. I am not certain whether 'chap' applies to both the masculine and feminine. :B

Ghostwish:Thou bawdy crook-pated clack-dish!

Liatai:Bawdy? I do believe you have your wires crossed, good chap.

Meany:Ping when the insanity wolf has eaten Ghost's liver.

Ghostwish:Thou fobbing clay-brained flap-dragon!

Liatai:... Okay, who let Barkwood in? :B

Ghostwish:XD!

Ghostwish:CRAP. Can't use his token, it's b66. XD

Liatai:HAH. XP

TMG:Alrighty.... roll call, or wait a little longer still?

Ghostwish:CALL ROLL


 * Dr. Hatari is here~

Ghostwish:AND THEN ROLL THE CALL.

GM:Righto! Who wants rolls?

TMG:Present. 3

TMG:x3Faerie:Hm?

Ghostwish:MEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Meany:Yo.

GM:So, that's Ghost, Tech, Faerie, Meany, Hatari, and... VAE, you ready?

VAE:YPMeany:YP=Yes, Please?

GM:All right them! Let's find the page where we left off... Ah yes.

Dr. Hatari:Storytime. :3

GM:Our group of intrepid adventurers, after an eventful morning out on the town, have regrouped at high noon at their favorite tavern, the Bronze Boot, to discuss what they are going to do next. At the moment, they are waiting on one Elros Saelian, who seems to be running a little late... Kellon time, sheesh.

VAE:ouch

TMG:x3VAE:actualy, nothing

VAE:double mistake, cancels itself out ! ^^

GM:Whenever you're ready to come in, Elros, let's take it away! :3

Gnogglebolt:After explaining things to Barbarus, Gnogglebolt settles down with his books again until Elros arrives.

Faerie:Whup, one moment.

VAE:how do you set defenses, and speed? the token doesnt' seem to have properties for it

Liatai:Fixed it for you, VAE.

Liatai:You were using the Basic properties instead of the PC properties. :3

VAE:oh, gotta roll HP

VAE:« 2d6 = 11 »

Dr. Hatari:Very nice.

Meany:Agreed.

Sszeyl:"Elros."

Gnogglebolt:After reading for some time, Gnogglebolt looks up. "Ah, Elros! Just the half-elf we were waiting for."

Kor:Catcatcatcatcatcatcat.. O_O

Gnogglebolt:He starts putting his books away. "Have a good morning, Elros?"

Tathi:Tathi promptly rolls her eyes, grabbing Kor off the table as she looks over. "Ah, so are we all here then?"

Elros:Just before noon, Elros comes into the bronze boot. He spots the party at a table, and takes a seat beside Gnogglebolt. "I suppose you could say that. Though I believe I'm developing a distaste for vines."

Sszeyl:"Depends. Did you cook them with salt?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt raises an eyebrow, but doesn't inquire further at the moment.

Barbarus:"I actually find boiling with a light sprinkling of parsely can loosen up most vines, let the inner flavour out."

Sszeyl:"What's parsely?"

Tathi:"An herb."

Barbarus::OGnogglebolt:"Anyway...first off, Elros, Sszeyl and I do not need to be leaving right away. The business Sszeyl has is not as urgent as we feared, fortunately."

Elros:Elros nods "That is good to hear."

Sszeyl:"It is, but there isn't much that can be done about it."

Elros:"Mmm"

Tathi:"Painfully urgent, I am guessing." Tathi says offhand.

Gnogglebolt:'Which means that we'll probably be staying here for at least a week, until after the goblin's trial. Of course, I want you there, Elros. You and Sszeyl are the only ones here who have been present for the entire operation."

Gnogglebolt:"Will you be able to attend?"

Tathi:"What exactly is this operation of yours? It involves goblins, I know that much."

Barbarus:"They're playing philantrophist. :P"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt gives Tathi and odd glance. 'I thought I explained it already?"

Miron:So, you said you saw a new one in the city, Tom?

Tathi:"Not to me, no. You seem keen on relocating these goblins, as near as I can tell."


 * Thomas Lazarus pats Miron's shoulder once and gestures towards the door.

TMG:(erk!

Thomas Lazarus:"Yes. I think this is the place."


 * Miron nods

TMG:(Erk erk erk! One moment!)

TMG:(Can the other characters wait just a -liiiittle- bit before entering? >.> )

Dr. Hatari:Oh my.

Dr. Hatari:Alright. :P

Ghostwish:(sideshow: Why Killing Floor eats L4D alive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzMh2shQYps )

TMG:(alex, you still there?)

Elros:"Yes, I can attend the trial. I have no other pressing business."

VAE:they can indeed - ATM they are walking along the street

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to Elros. "Excellent. And on that note..." Gnogglebolt turns to see Sszeyl as well.

Ghostwish:WHOA. Hatari is in?

VAE:he is

Ghostwish:First dibs on the PK!

Ghostwish::PDr. Hatari:Bring it, noobcakes.

Ghostwish:WAAAAAAAAAAAARGGG

Liatai:x3VAE:in fact he and mine character are allies

Gnogglebolt:"We three have been together since ther start of this, and it's nearly over with the goblins. But there are still these necromancers running about, that I believe we all intend to continue following through."

Ghostwish:Don't hit on Tathi. I'll slay you!! SLAYYYY YOOUUU

Liatai:You know that just saying that puts a target on Tathi's back to some people, right? :P

Meany:Oh, Liatai. :o

VAE:hahaha

Ghostwish:( L4D sucks, Killing Floor rules, part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=280D4rb4iI8&feature=fvst )

Liatai:Yes, Meany?

Ghostwish:nuuu, nuu, get the target off! OFF!

Meany:Could you drag Venezuela from where ever I left her on this map to the front of the Boot?

Liatai:Oh, sure.

Gnogglebolt:"On top of that, we also have our own goals. Sszeyl, you want to protect your homeland. I want to gather my Kellonite kinsmen. I...I'm not sure what you want, Elros. But, the point is, after working together, I'd like to help you with your goals, Sszeyl. And, perhaps you might help me with mine? And the same for us with you7, Elros?"

Gnogglebolt:"I've still got years ahead of me. I'd like to stay with you two and continue working together, as a group."

Sszeyl:"I can act as Liason with the Orgolloyss, teach some basic self defense, and organize a militia."

Ghostwish:daaawww, the gnome likes you.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to Sszeyl, and looks at Elros.

Liatai:There you go, your murder mule is in place.

Meany:Sweet. :D

Meany:Thankee.

Meany:Tech.

Faerie:...you know, I'm not quite sure what Elros' goals are. >.>

Meany:You've disconnected from the IRC.

Tathi:"Ambitious project, Gnogglebolt. There's more than a few that counted the gnomes as exitinct after the cataclysm."

TMG:alex; don't worry, you can develop that as we go ^^

Dr. Hatari:As a reasonable default, adventurers earn more in a week than 10 peasant families earn in a year.

Elros:Elros nods at Gnogglebolt, in agreement.

Dr. Hatari::BGnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt gives a nod to Tathi. "Indeed, but I think I can do it. I've got a plan, but it's long-term. I'm good at losgistics. There's no rush." And he also nods in return to Elros.

Meany:Unless they decide to support ten peasant families.

Meany::BGnogglebolt:He then leans forward and puts his hand on the table. "Is that what we all want, Sszeyl and Elros? Are we, explicitly, a group?"

Elros:"It seems to me that we have been. We might as well come out and say it."

Tathi:Tathi leans back in her chair, corssing her arms beneath her chest. "Would this group have any interest in preserving old, arcane secrets?"

Sszeyl:"Some knowledge is better left out of the public's hands."

Sszeyl:"Some truths can't be looked at for too long before they destroy someone."


 * Dr. Hatari pricks his ears. Secrets! :o

Tathi:She glances over at Sszeyl. "I'm talking about everything from unmentionables that change color to the sort of things some doddering hedge wizard could use to dominate a kingdom."

Venezuela:A rather evil-looking mule is hitched to a post outside the tavern called the Bronze Boot. She glares at Thomas and Miron briefly.

Kor:Hey! Hey! Lemme out of this hood so I can glare too!


 * Thomas Lazarus gives it generous space. ^^;

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Tathi. "Perhaps. But, no offence, I am most talking to just Sszeyl and Elros at the moment. But you've still got plenty of time to prove yourself if you'd like to work with us."

Miron Steelsprocket:I don't know why, but i really wouldn't want to get kicked by her

Gnogglebolt:...though our turnover rate for magic users seems to be unusually high."

Sszeyl:"She has my support for joining."

Tathi:She smiles at Gnogglebolt, "I test the waters before jumping in, good gnome."

Miron Steelsprocket:*knocks at the tavern door*

Liatai:The doors are open. :B

TMG:(waaaait)

Ghostwish:Well he knocks on it anyway. :P


 * Thomas Lazarus chuckles with a smile. "You can go in. You must not be used to the city."

TMG:(one more little thing DX )

Ghostwish:NU, I vote yes on the new characters. :>

Dr. Hatari:Just multi-task. :P

Ghostwish:MULTIPASS.

Ghostwish:Wait, wrong movie.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt leans back. "Alright then. Sszeyl and Elros, we are indeed a group now. And, there is one thing that must be taken care of."

Ghostwish:I swear if that's another dread necromancer... :P

Gnogglebolt:The gnome grins. "Every group must have a name."

Miron Steelsprocket:search « 1d20+6 = 18 + 6 = 24 »

Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 18 + 5 = 23 » Spot check!

TMG:(ghost; cleric of Pelor, actually. :P )

Tathi:Tathi snrks and giggles suddenly.

Dr. Hatari:Oh hello let me introduce you to TWIRLS MUSTACHE THE THIRD.

Liatai:XD!

Tathi:She regains her composure, and says, "R.A.G.E."

Barbarus:"Rage: noun, an emotional force typically associated with intense anger, with a propensity for leading to violence. Rage."


 * Thomas Lazarus folds his hands into his robe-sleeves and walks behind Miron. He idly looks about the tavern in the meantime.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebtol gives a slanted glance to Tahi. "No thank you. Besides, we've only just met you. This is between me, Elros, and Sszeyl." He ends with a slight tugging grin.

Kor:Cat. Demon. Shocking grasp target. Tastes best with ketchup and a hint of pepper.

Gnogglebolt:"So, do either of you have any good ideas for a name? What are we?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt is then quiet.

Elros:Elros hmms, and listens.

Gnogglebolt:"Aside from -anything- goblin-related."

Tathi:"Crazy. Mismatched. And there's always the quality of adventurers having little regard for personel safety."

Sszeyl:Cough cough, GM, rolled a spot check on these new people. :B

Ghostwish:Meany.. you don't roll spots on what is derp apparent.

Miron Steelsprocket:« i = Invalid expression: i. » So.. it is indeed true!« /i = Invalid expression: /i. »

Ghostwish:They are STANDING there. Are you blind!?

Miron Steelsprocket:So.. it is indeed true!


 * Thomas Lazarus seems to be content to listen in on the group's discussion. He doesn't interrupt yet.

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas is a fairly regal-looking young man. He looks to be in his late 20's, and stands quite tall for a human. He's adorned in the integrated robe-plate of a templar, with an ornate round-shield and claymore at his back. A silver amulet with Pelor's likeness hangs prominently below his neck.

Liatai:Description for Miron before he goes running in? :3

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then looks up as a scruffy dwarf comes up beside him. "...Can I help you?"

Liatai:Dwarf? >:3

Dr. Hatari:Hahaha

TMG:Yes. Dwarf. :P

Liatai:No, not dwarf. >:3

Liatai:VAE? Description, if you please.

TMG:I don't care what you say, I was totally serious, he should be a dwarf. x3


 * Liatai just sits back with an Evil GM Smile (tm). >:3

Ghostwish:Not enough beard for dwarf. Female, maybe.

Miron Steelsprocket:You notice a rather short, thin, dark brown haired character with a beard and a scar on his left cheek... He is dressed in a cape, and seems to excitedly shout something in gnomish

Ghostwish:But that NOSE. :O

TMG:He speaks Gnome? What does he say? o.O

Dr. Hatari:(Unrelated note - my super intentionally forced-in guest character for the Bowling Green 50+ run session Age of Worms campaign was a dorf cleric. Korgan Axe-fuck. That turned some heads.)

Dr. Hatari:("DO YOU LIKE ADVENTURE?!")

Liatai:-- what. XD I'll bet that did!

Faerie:"Adventure time!"

Faerie:>.>

Liatai:XDDr. Hatari:Exactly.

TMG:(and man, I was trying to hard to get the party name taken care of BEFORE anyone else entered. -_- )

TMG:(that's why I kept asking for waiting. :B )

Dr. Hatari:Backburner'd.

Miron Steelsprocket says in Gnome: Be greeted brother! I didn't know there are more who have survived the fall of Kemmer! The priest over there has mentioned to me seeing a gnome around these parts...

Liatai:Tech, think of this as being like Ghost and Clint interrupting whenever Four started talking about the plot. :B

TMG:....No way.

TMG:This guy is a GNOME?

VAE:XD* Liatai cackles!

VAE:you brought it upon yourself with shortness mentions

Clint:"Y HALO THAR"

VAE:Archivist tends to be a class popular among elves, humans and gnomes.... that's where it started

Gnogglebolt:"I...WHAT the?!" Gnogglebolt sputters out. he then starts speaking in a new language the others haven't heard him use yet.

Gnogglebolt says in Gnome: "You--you are a brother gnome? Well, welcome, kinsman! However, no, I did not survive the fall of Kemmer, as you can see I am far too young, but I hail from the land of Mazio."

Miron Steelsprocket says in Gnome: Many times, people mistook one of us for a particularly lean dwarf... i was growing weary.. but this time there was no mistake


 * Thomas Lazarus seems mildly amused by the sudden energetic outburst between the gnomes. So much for subtlety.

Miron Steelsprocket says in Gnome: Mazio? I have heard something about that place.. .to the south, is it?


 * Sszeyl arches a brow, but says nothing.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddenly bursts out with a hearty laugh, the most expressive outburst any of the others have seen of him.

Gnogglebolt:He then returns to chattering away.

Gnogglebolt says in Gnome: "I can see how! But no, not the south, to the east. The land of clockworks and steam."

Barbarus:"Oh great, new people."

Thomas Lazarus:"Sorry to have interrupted. But my friend here was very adamant." He offers an apolegetic shrug as the gnomes go haywire.

Tathi:Tathi blinks, peering over at the two gnomes. "Well, good to see even more endangered species about."

Miron Steelsprocket:The other guy seems just as excited

Tathi:She turns in her chair and glances back at Thomas. She looks over his armor, and more importantly his holy symbol. "Ah, a cleric are you? I don't suppose you have any leaning towards throwing your dice in with an adventuring group?"

Thomas Lazarus:"I'm Thomas, by the way. This," he glances to Miron, "excited fellow is Miron Steelsprocket."

GM:A few taverngoers look up at the chattering gnomes briefly before returning to whatever they were doing before.

Miron Steelsprocket says in Gnome: Well, Southeast then - i come from quite a way up north... Miron Segras Ironwrit Steelsprocket is my name by the way

Gnogglebolt:Oops!


 * Thomas Lazarus smiles. "As a matter of fact, that was part of our business for coming. Although I should speak for my friend.. but when I shared the rumors I had overheard, he became very excited by the idea of meeting another gnome."

Tathi:"Tathi Eyllisaearsithek. Just Tathi, if you please."


 * Thomas Lazarus nods.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to the fellow gnome, and speaks in a more even, but still warm voice.

Gnogglebolt says in Gnome: "Gnogglebolt Steelworm Ratchetrod Kaldan Sparkgear. I would love to chat with you, but sadly, I am rather in the middle of something at the moment. If you'd like to sit down and order a meal, I'll be with you as soon as I can." (just made up the name right off the top of my head xD )

Miron Steelsprocket says in Gnome: Indeed. Still it is a wonderful stroke of luck to see another one of us in these lands again

Thomas Lazarus:"There have been rumors floating about regarding some ill tidings, and an active lot getting stuck in the thick of it." He glances at the other patrons briefly. "Business about goblins.. and even witches at play. I was interested in meeting those people myself. A motley crew headed by a vocal gnome, or so the story goes. That was when Miron seemed to insist we leave right away. ^^;"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then turns his attention to the other person who approached. "Ah...Thomas, is it? Can I help you?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then blinks.

Miron Steelsprocket:*looks around* !!!

Gnogglebolt:"Oh indeed! It seems news has been traveling fast in this city."

Thomas Lazarus:"We've gotten ahead of ourselves, but I take it you are they?"

Gnogglebolt:He looks bacl to Miron, and speaks to him,

Gnogglebolt says in Gnome: "Nevermind, do sit down with us! Welcome!"

Tathi:"Hey! Who are you calling motley?" Tathi says teasingly.

Miron Steelsprocket:What's a drow doing in here?

VAE:argh

VAE:that last bit should habe been whispered

Dr. Hatari:Racism exposed! :P

VAE:as in, to gnogglebolt directly

Gnogglebolt:Before turning back to Thomas. "Indeed. Although, I don't like to say I head the group, but I can see how easily others would see it that way when I talk the most." He grins sheepishly


 * Thomas Lazarus holds up a hand in defense and offers a small grin, "Not my rumors, miss Tathi."

Gnogglebolt:To Miron, he says "Oh, do not worry. He's not like other drow, he a friend...oh." Gnogglebolt's face falls, as he starts back up in Gnome again.

Thomas Lazarus:"I hate to impose this boldly, but may we sit with you? I didn't mean to make a scene."

Miron says in Gnome: Friend? They were the ones who caused all the pain, suffering.. together with the duergar!

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt speaks in a low, very cautious voice

Gnogglebolt says in Gnome: "I know the Drow destroyed Kemmer, believe you me, I had trouble trusting him at first. But even if you don't trust him, trust me. He is a valuable ally, and had nothing to do with Kemmer's destruction."

Gnogglebolt:He then waves to Thomas. "yes, of course, of course, do sit with us."

Sszeyl:"There are two free seats."


 * Thomas Lazarus eyes the Gnomes, still going a mile a minute in their tongue. He decides to look to the others for now.

Miron says in Gnome: I indeed trust you, friend for if it was not so, that miscreant could count his hours

TMG:(actually, Gnogglebolt was just talking very slow and cautiously ^^; )

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to Miron as he takes his seat.

Thomas Lazarus:"Thank you." He looks around the table at Elros, Sszeyl and Barbarus. "And who might each of you be?"

Ghostwish:erk, brb

VAE:how come elros has just 9 HP

Gnogglebolt:"So, I guess we should begin proper introductions. I am Gnogglebolt Sparkgear, and yes, we are the group you heard about. We've been involved in capturing a tribe of goblin pickpockets and then some, which then led us to a cabal of necromancers, whom we are about to pursue."

VAE:did he roll a 1 the second time too?

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:As soon as the two take their seats, the barmaid swoops and and gets to work. "Can I get anyone something to eat or drink?"

Miron Steelsprocket:*Nods*

Faerie:VAE: I was only ever given one roll.

Faerie:Which came out as a 1.

Dr. Hatari:Dang. lol

Liatai:Oh, let's fix that. :O

VAE:but.. we're level 3 now!

Liatai:Roll yourself a d8. :3

VAE:there should have been a roll and a Con modifier adding

Sszeyl:"Sszeyl of Orgolloyss."

Barbarus:"I'm a butcher, and leatherworker. :D"

Gnogglebolt:"Though not quite yet, we have leads to investigate and other things to do. But tell us about yourselves. You said you found us because of the rumors of necromancers? How are you involved with them?"

Miron Steelsprocket:The Leaden Mace Society has it in their keen interest to eliminate necromancers and all their foul kin from the lands of Akellon

Gnogglebolt:brb


 * Barbarus peeks at the two's rears to try and guage social status..dang, no tails. :[

VAE:ahahaha

Dr. Hatari:^^;

VAE:that was awesome, owl!

Faerie:Hold on, hold on

Liatai:X3Liatai:OK, holding on, holding on.

Faerie:Sorry, I'm trying to follow, but I thought I was missing something I needed for homework. FOund it though.

TMG:back

Faerie:Okay, so my con modifier is 0.

TMG:Oops! Everyone hold for alex to catch up

Faerie:And I thought when we did it, I was given one roll, and that was it.

Liatai:Yep, roll a d8 to get how much more HP you've gained when you levelled up to level 3. :3

Faerie:That's what I thought I was being told, anyway.

Faerie:...oh, I missed that one.

Liatai:Oh! No, it's 1d8 per level. x3

Faerie:...when did I get level 3?

Faerie:>.>

Liatai:Blacksword den.

TMG:wait, is your entire sheet still on level 2, alex? o.o

Faerie:Yes. Yes it is.

Faerie:o.o

Liatai:O.o

Ghostwish:back!


 * Meany harpoons the Ghostwish.

Faerie:That would be my problem, I suppose.

TMG:Well dang. Guess you'll have to get that worked out when the session's over

Liatai:Okay, your HP and saves are going to be the most important, as will the new feat you've gained. Get those down, and the rest will be levelled after the session's done. :3

Faerie:I can do it on the fly, if I have EXP, and the rest of that.

Faerie:How much EXP from the last session, so I can keep on top?

TMG:Oh yes! How much EXP does everyone have?

TMG:We now have a new field to put it in our token properties :D

Liatai:... um. I don't recall. Who has an updated character sheet?


 * Faerie ought to do laundry some time today, too. :B

VAE:ouch

Liatai:--- where'd the gnome go? O.o

VAE:instead of edit, i trashed myself

TMG:crap. My sheet is updated, but I don't have EXP D:Dr. Hatari:Eheh.

Faerie:Pft

Ghostwish:I have no xp either. :TMG:Help us, Meanyowl! You're our only hope!

Faerie:Maybe this is the problem. I assumed I would know when I hit level 3 by how much XP I had.

TMG:wait a second...

Faerie:But if no one knows their XP... >.>

Liatai:... gah. I'll be right back. Sacred canine duty. You all, level your sheets if you must, and if no one has XP, you're at 3,500.

TMG:I don't think we ever DID get EXP. think you just said we all had gotten level 3 o.o

TMG:because you were tracking EXP behind the scenes

TMG:and alrighty!


 * Dr. Hatari records 3500? :3

TMG:adding directly to token...

TMG:Everyone's seen the experience points slot in their token properties, right?

VAE:yep

Faerie:Umm...should I wait for Liatai to come back then?

VAE:we can still chat among ourselves


 * Thomas Lazarus listens to everyone and pauses before responding. "Yes, that's true. A lot of adventurers come through here, and with the malcontents and impoverished here, we're no strangers to trouble in Castleton. But..." He speaks a bit more softly, "it is not everyday that the guards put away black magicians. If the local area is playing host to that kind of element, then the churches cannot simply sit on their laurels and wait for concerned citizens to resolve the issue. The world is full of heresy and violence, but Necromancers... that's beyond dismissal. Apostate souls of the blackest sinners, stealing the vessels of the dead. I simply had to find you. Is it true?"

TMG:you can roll HP, she'll see it when she gets back

Faerie:Well, let's hope I do better than last time. >.>

Faerie:HP + [1d8}

Faerie:HP + « 1d8 = 6 »

Faerie:That's not bad.

VAE:not bad indeed


 * Sszeyl pointedly says nothing.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt listens to Thomas as he speaks. "Indeed, it is true. We discovered that the goblins had been linked to necromancers, and later, we captured one of them directly. She's been handed to the Aureate Palm, and we're going to hear from them about what's happened to her."

Gnogglebolt:"She has more information, and the Palm will tell us what they've learned from her."

Sszeyl:"And how will they be learning these things?"

Miron Steelsprocket:By interrogation

Liatai:OK, I'm back, and reading up. ^^


 * Thomas Lazarus frowns, but seems resolute. "Father Trebedis would have us react passively, balming the symptoms. But that's not good enough for me. If there's any way I can lend a hand to you all in this, it is absolutely extended."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt shurgs. "I don't know. In fact, I don't know if they're even going to try. They -might- just execute her. Regretable, but as they have experience in these matters, I trust whatever they will do."

Miron Steelsprocket:Though, i can't vouch for how successful the Palm will be

Gnogglebolt:"The guardscaptain simply told me that if a necromancer is the subject, it's the Palm who deals with them."

Liatai:Finished reading up. :3 Carry on.

Miron Steelsprocket:Thomas is right... pity i wasn't here earlier.. i'd try to extract information from her, and then you could have handed her on for lawful punishment

TMG:(why does the gnome keep growing in size? >.> )


 * Hatted Halfling Barmaid, hearing no one speak up for a drink or a meal, wanders off.

Meany:Sorry about that. :B

VAE:because i accidentally deleted him and forgot to resize


 * Thomas Lazarus nods. Then looks to Miron as though he just remembered.

TMG:(...how the heck does Miron have 26 HP? o.O )

TMG:(that's the most out of ANYONE in the party!)

VAE:rolling a 5 and a 6 and having 17 con

TMG:hit die? d6?

Thomas Lazarus:"Oh, yes. Tell them of the leaden mace."

VAE:yep

Liatai:Tankgnome. X3

VAE:archivist is a tougher wizard version XD

Dr. Hatari:I was planning to tank, but then he rolled nigh-perfect. Heh.

VAE:with divine spells

Dr. Hatari:afk 2 shakes~

VAE:but then, he has sucky AC compared to the cleric

VAE:Heh, i listen to Jesus He Knows Me by Genesis and keep thinking of the Evangelist prestige class

Liatai:Miron, care to oblige Thomas? :B

VAE:he's afk, no?

VAE:allright

Liatai:Thomas Lazarus: "Oh, yes. Tell them of the leaden mace."

Dr. Hatari:The can loves knocking over drinks.

Tathi:Tathi just listens quietly, before pulling her spellbook from her items, propping it open on the table and idly leafing through it.

Dr. Hatari:*cat

Miron Steelsprocket:Yes indeed. I belong to the Leaden Mace Society, a group of concerned kellonites who fight this recent plague of outlaws and corpse-reviving scum ... We are more known up north... the Aureate Palm's concern of these further regions leaves much to be desired, so to say.

Thomas Lazarus:"I had taken an interest in the mace myself, just before you all started raising commotion in town."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt likewise listens carefully.


 * Faerie sees "Negotiator" as a feat. Is reminded of "Big O." Has been watching it Saturday nights. :B

Dr. Hatari::DMiron Steelsprocket:Thomas here seems to understand that one can't tip-toe around foes of such sort, and wait for them to strike....

TMG:(also; I'm pretty sure ranges get a special class feature at 3rd level, better check that if you haven't yet )

Dr. Hatari:Ah, Endurance.

Dr. Hatari:Better equipped for chasing druids. :3

Sszeyl:"..."

Sszeyl:"But if they do not strike first, they have done nothing wrong."

Miron Steelsprocket:And neither can one forgo knowledge and information gained from such if it gives a better chance to defeat and root them out... something that is often not understood by the forces of law, sadly

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods. "Well, if you wish to aid us in pursuit of this cabal of necromancers, then I for one welcome you aboard."


 * Thomas Lazarus frowns.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then looks to Sszeyl.

Miron Steelsprocket:*furrows his brow at the Drow* If you prepare to commit a crime, it is as if you have already have done it

Gnogglebolt:"I think he means, after already knowing that one is a necromancer, not waiting for them to surface again."

Thomas Lazarus:"How could that be? Was your necromancer not murdering and enslaving to perpetrate his craft?"

Gnogglebolt:"Basically exactly what we're already going to be doing."

Sszeyl:"Preparing to do something is meaningless, because it is the act itself that counts. They could be preparing for what looks like one act, but is in fact another. o.o;;"

Gnogglebolt:"Er...Sszeyl, I think you misunderstand."

Miron Steelsprocket:It doesn't surprise me that the only dissenter is you.

Thomas Lazarus:"I'm not suggestion that we should romp around the wilderness and lynch the accused. I just don't want innocent people to die before anyone takes the initiative to protect them."

Gnogglebolt:"We're talking about people we already know are necromancers, like the ones we were trying to stake out, and going to them before they actually -use- any abomination minions to harm someone anymore than they've already done to -get- thei9r minions in the first place."


 * Thomas Lazarus folds his hands over the table. "We're not unreasonable sorts."

Miron Steelsprocket:Thomas is correct again.. besides it's not like the signs of such acts aren't obvious

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then nods to Thomas. "And what he says is true as well. Honestly Sszeyl, this is -already- what we're going."

Gnogglebolt:"He was just stating that was his goal as well. Where did the problem come from?"

Gnogglebolt:*what we're doing]

Sszeyl:"Mostly from...Miron, was it? From Miron's word choice. :B"

Tathi:"Not even named yet and the party is already having its first quarrel.." Tathi says to no one in particular.

Miron Steelsprocket:He mumbles something in Gnomish again

Miron Steelsprocket says in Gnome: I have a fair idea where the problem comes from.. but yet i do trust your judgement of the individual.

Barbarus:"Every tribe has disputes."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt waves his hand. "Ah, well, the common tongue isn't as eloquant as our native tongue. Pay no heed."


 * Thomas Lazarus watches Sszeyl for a moment. He seems thoughtful. "..Sszeyl, if you're concerned for having a zealous outsider wander into your midst and move your hand prematurely, then I promise you, that's not how it'll be. We are not crusaders. It is know, even to.. us.. that sometimes the 'righteous' are not entirely so."

Gnogglebolt:He then looks at Tathi. "Well, they have only just arrived. They are't even a 'part' of ur group yet, we haven't even done anything together. A quarrel doesn't count if it comes -from- an external source."

Thomas Lazarus:*known

Gnogglebolt:*of our group

Tathi:"Quit splitting hairs, Gnogglebolt, I like my logic straight and linear."

Thomas Lazarus:"Oh, yes."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt grins mischeviously. "While it's not your fault, you've never really been around gnomes before, have you?"

Thomas Lazarus:"I believe you were trying to name yourselves just as I began spying on you." He beams a bit.

Gnogglebolt:"Ah...eh heh, yes we were." Gnogglebolt says to Thomas.

Tathi:She rolls her eyes, shaking her head with a small smile on her face at the gnomish antics, before looking to Thomas. "I already suggested R.A.G.E."

Miron Steelsprocket:True.. besides the kinsman here, and the miss here, i don't know anyone's name

Liatai:Roll Listen checks -- I'M KIDDING. :B

Aaren d'Cannith:"That's not fair. I'm not even moving!"

Barbarus:"Excuse me, miss?"

Faerie:Sorry, I meant to introduce myself a while ago, but then I went and got stuck on updating my character sheet. ^^;

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"Oh! Yes? What can I do for you?"

Dr. Hatari:I understand.

TMG:(seriously ghost, stop with the rage thing. It's a bit far out of fourth wall for me. -_- )

VAE:why? he's funny with ti

VAE:besides everyone knows mages are nuts

Ghostwish:it's not even fourth wall.. it's a D&D standard for a group that doesn't come up with or doesn't want a name.

Liatai:Channeling Trofim, are we, VAE? ;P

VAE:Indeed

Ghostwish:Random Adventuring Group and then go wild with E. :p

Barbarus:"I was told there was to be a preformance here tonight? When is that scheduled to begin? Also, some fried chicken if your cook has any. :o"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances to Tathi again. "I already said, one, that's not a good name, and two, you haven't been with us three long enough for that." He says smugly.

TMG:ghost; exactly my point >_-

Thomas Lazarus:"I think rage sounds pretty good!" Thomas preens.

Ghostwish:You're holding the gun backwards Tech.

TMG:Okay, Totally serious now.

Sszeyl:"I, as a named member, support her claim to membership. :B Is there a second?"

Miron Steelsprocket:Citizens Against the Undead, perhaps?

TMG:I think it's funny, but i am NOT going to go along with it seriously. leave it as an OOC joke, please

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"Oh, you mean the storyteller from the desert? Tharkiel? He's supposed to be starting just after sunset! And I'll go ask Sstheric if we've got any fried chicken for you."


 * Dr. Hatari snickers.

Ghostwish:Totally gonna push the RAGE monikor now. :P

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"We've been getting a lot of questions about that show lately. Should be interesting!"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at Sszeyl. "No, I meant seniority, not exact 'membership'. She hasn't been with us long enough to know us like we know each other."

TMG:STOP IT.

VAE:argue stuff out IC

Liatai:I'm going to step in as a GM and say no. :B Mainly because this group is anything but raging.

Ghostwish:XDGhostwish:Durnit.

Barbarus:"This Tharky has good advertising. :P"

TMG:Thank you, Liatai

VAE:that more funny i'd say

Ghostwish:RAGs!

Ghostwish:Okay, okay, I'll quit. XD

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"Storyteller. Word travels quick when you throw a lot of words around!" The barmaid giggles. "I'll go get that chicken for you."

VAE:you folks are injecting too much OOC stuffs into it... find a compelling IC reason why it shouldn't be so... she isn't even a senior member!

Tathi:Kor pokes his head out of Tathi's cloak, and perches on her shoulder. "I'd support the 'CAU' idea.. so far it seems to be the only note-worthy thing the group has done. Unless you want to try for goblin wranglers or something."

Ghostwish:I saw a lizard folk. :O

Sstheric:Indeed you did. 'Sup?

Ghostwish:WAZZZUUPP

Sszeyl:"But I'm not against the undead. :[ Just the unlawful use of them as weapons."

Sszeyl:"Hmm."

Sszeyl:"Besides common, what one language do we all speak?"


 * Thomas Lazarus raises a brow and hmm's with a smirk. "I've never understood the fascination with naming adventuring bands."

Gnogglebolt:"Anyway...it doesn't need to be a perfect name. You do have a point, Tathi, we haven't done much that is noteworthy."

Barbarus:"Hello. :D"

Tathi:She glances over at Thomas. "As near as I can tell, the entire point is to prevent being named RAGE or RAG or such."

Miron Steelsprocket:You do have a point, Drow.. however unlawful use is all that tends to happen.... where would you get a corpse lawfully after all, if not pillaging the graves of honest citizens or outright murdering them?

Elros:"Perhaps then, we ought to let a name come to us, instead of forcing it."

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:The halfling returns with a plate of fried chicken. "Here you go! That'll be two silver."

Gnogglebolt:"Although... Hmm."

Faerie:Chat explosion :o

Ghostwish:KA-BOOM!


 * Thomas Lazarus nods at Elros, then considers.

Thomas Lazarus:"I'm afraid I didn't catch your name."

Sszeyl:"Having the written permission of the next of kin."

Barbarus:"Yum. :D"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to Elros. "Indeed. We don't actually need a name right away, we could wait for something to come along. But, I think I do have a suggestion. Only Sszeyl and Elros need apply on it, though. We're the three who've been together from the beginning."


 * Barbarus hands over the silver, and take the plate. Handing an extra gold as a tip. "Thanks!"


 * Thomas Lazarus also didn't catch Barbarus' name, but hey. He looks happy, and he's a butcher.

Barbarus:You asked who he was.

Elros:To Thomas, "Elros Saelian. Elros is fine."

Barbarus:Who he is is not his name.

Dr. Hatari:He's rolling with it. :P

Miron Steelsprocket:But who would give a written permission for one of their kin to be used as a walking corpse?

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"Oh! Well thank you very much! Does anyone else want anything, while I'm here?"

Gnogglebolt:"I've been concerned with protecting people. And you two have been most helpful in this regard. Doesn't matter if it's protecting goblins from disproportionate retribution, or citizens from necromancy."

Tathi:Tathi raises her hand. "A bit of tea, if you please."

Gnogglebolt:"I'm not going to push it, but I'll drop the Vigilant Guardians."

Sszeyl:"Do you have any of those...cooked cornbread balls. Silence dogs, or something?"


 * Liatai snerks.

Gnogglebolt:"Thoughts, Sszeyl and Elros?"

Thomas Lazarus:"Wine, if you please."

Elros:Elros turns to listen to Gnogglebolt. "Hmm, possibly. I'd certainly take it over the other suggestions today."

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"Um... I don't know about the silence dogs, but I can get tea. What kind of wine, sir?"

Thomas Lazarus:"Red, if you have it."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances over to the barmaid, and asks for his order in Halfling.

Tathi:"How about the group that can't decide on a name?"

Gnogglebolt says in Halfling: "Spiced chicken, if you will."

Miron Steelsprocket:And some ale for me

Barbarus:"He means hushpuppies."

Gnogglebolt:"And actually, I just thought of another reason why the Vigilant Guardians is appropriate."


 * Hatted Halfling Barmaid chuckles and says something in Halfling before turning to the rest of the group. "All right, I'll be back in a jiffy!"

Hatted Halfling Barmaid says in Halfling: "Still practicing, I see? You're doing better!"


 * Barbarus noms some chicken. :3

Gnogglebolt:"Sszeyl, you want to protect your homeland. I want to protect my own people as well."

Gnogglebolt:He then shurgs. "If you don't like it, then okay, we'll wait for a better name."

Dr. Hatari:I'll assume it's residual teasing from Marius. ;P

Gnogglebolt:"But what do you think?"

Tathi:"Persons of the Scarred pasts. How cliche."

Sszeyl:"I have a stated order from the homeland. I protect it as a side task. But Vigilant itself would be a nice name."

Gnogglebolt:"Hmm...then perhaps simply 'The Vigilant'?"

Miron Steelsprocket:I approve of the name.


 * Thomas Lazarus considers.


 * Hatted Halfling Barmaid starts handing out drinks while things are considered.

Miron Steelsprocket:So, Drow, you are here under the mandate of the vile cult of Lolth?

Thomas Lazarus:"It sounds pleasant enough. Perhaps even just Vigil would suffice?"

Elros:It does roll of the tongue."

Thomas Lazarus:"..Don't mind a vocal critic, of course."

Gnogglebolt:"No, the Vigils is already taken. Horrible student council that controls a school." ER I MEAN xD

Gnogglebolt:*that was indeed non-canon :P )

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"I'm sorry, there aren't any silence dogs or hush puppies back there. The chef says he could feasably find some dog for you if you really wanted it, though?"

Sszeyl:"Vigil, just Vigil would be nice."

Gnogglebolt:"Hmm...I don't know if I'd shorten it -that- far."

Miron Steelsprocket:The Vigilant is a more natural name

Sszeyl:"Also, no, that won't be necessary. :B"

Miron Steelsprocket:It states our purpose clearly

TMG:(okay, I kinda really don't want to be called the Vigils >.> )

Sszeyl:"Do you have any shellfish?"

Dr. Hatari:Just vigil singular. What are the vigils? :P

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"Shellfish? I'll ask. They're a little hard to get this far inland."

TMG:was anyone else here made to read "The Chocolate War" in seventh grade? :B

Sszeyl:No.

VAE:noLiatai:No.

TMG:Oh. Dang. o.o

TMG:Guess that flew right over your heads, then...

VAE:does it have something to do with Chocolate Rain ? XD

TMG:No xD


 * Sszeyl is Dark Chocolate.


 * Sszeyl rains.

VAE:Roflcopter


 * Thomas Lazarus looks at his wine fondly before tipping back a glass. "If I may pry, what's next on your agenda? Post-christening?"

TMG:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chocolate_War

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"We've got a couple of river clams if you're interested in those."

Sszeyl:"Those would be nice. :o"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Thomas. "Well, for now, we'll be investigating leads and taking care of personal business for a week, at which point, we will be at a trial for the goblins we have captured. After that, unless anything else comes up, we will pursue any leads we have."

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"All right!"

Liatai:Listen checks.

Sszeyl:"We also have a house to purchase for those goblins, if I recall."

Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 12 + 5 = 17 » Listen check!

Thomas Lazarus:« 1d20+2 = 8 + 2 = 10 »

TMG:(the chocolate war is a notable book because it's one of the few things where the "protagonist" LOSES in the end)

Barbarus:« 1d20+5 = 20 + 5 = 25 » Listen.

Barbarus:;DLiatai:And Spot, if you'd care to -- ooh, nice, Barbarus. Everyone else?

TMG:Er? Listen checks?

Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 2 + 5 = 7 » Spot check!

Gnogglebolt:Listen: « 1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20 »

Thomas Lazarus:Spot! « 1d20+2 = 4 + 2 = 6 »

Liatai:Listen and Spot.

Gnogglebolt:Oh, and spot: « 1d20 = 4 »

Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 16 + 4 = 20 » Spot.

Barbarus::DLiatai:Woo, Barbarus is super-alert today. x3

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Sszeyl. "Purchase a house? Oh! I have already taken care of that. Nothing more needs to be done, there."


 * Dr. Hatari hopes he goes scattering off into a corner pouncing something.

Faerie:Hang on a moment

Tathi:« 1d20+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 » listen! « 1d20+3 = 18 + 3 = 21 » spot!

Liatai:Miron? Elros? Tathi -- Ah, thank you, Tathi.

Miron Steelsprocket:« 1d20+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 » Spot « 1d20+5 = 18 + 5 = 23 » Listen

Elros:spot « 1d20+9 = 15 + 9 = 24 » and listen « 1d20+6 = 3 + 6 = 9 »

VAE:actually was compelled to play chocolate rain on YT

VAE:a hillarious comment: "he stole Justin Bieber's puberty"

Success on Both Counts: You can hear and see a small commotion in the streets outside. A guard is marching a half-elven man down the street, who seems to be protesting loudly. "I'm telling you, just give me a few minutes!" the man shouts. "She's going to make them into man-eaters!" "Keep walking," the guard grumps.

Dr. Hatari:Youtube sure does like talking about him.

Barbarus:Hmmm. >>

Liatai:Please wait...

Barbarus:« 1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20 » Will save!

VAE:also, Did Sszeyl not react on purpose?

Meany:More like I never got the chance to respond. :B

Barbarus:Will save was against being Chaotic and doing something stupid. :D

Elros:...is that the same...

Liatai:Wait, hang on, hang on.

Liatai:Not everyone's gotten their results yet.


 * Barbarus shovels chicken down his throat OM NOM NOM NOM, hurry! :O

Liatai:Everyone now has recieved their results. :3

Tathi:Tathi turns slightly in her chair, peering outside. "Seems we've got a bit of a commotion going on outside."


 * Thomas Lazarus lowers his glass and looks to a window. "Hmm?"

Miron Steelsprocket:Man-eaters? what? ... I have a hunch something bad's about to happen there.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt's ears wiggle. "So there is. Let's take a look..."

Miron Steelsprocket:We should interfere indeed!

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt gets up from his seat and heads to the door.

Sszeyl:"But...but...my clams. D:"

Gnogglebolt:"Hold, brother. Ni te pharkalu, quo lun verra lu."

Tathi:"I am sure they will be here when we get back."

Barbarus:"Stay here and eat your clams. We got this."

Miron Steelsprocket:Shael vuk...

Barbarus:"Hello."

Thomas Lazarus:"Oh, well." He raises and pushes his seat in before following the others.

Overzealous Guard:"Stop struggling, you're only making ths worse for yourself!" the guard snarls.

Dr. Hatari:lulz

Half-Elven Druid:Sure enough, there's a half-elven man trying very hard to get away from the guard. "I'm telling you, she said something about feeding -- They'll be killed! Let GO!"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt Suddenly snaps at Miron. "Hey! that better not be about me." He then turns and looks at what's going on.

Barbarus:"On second thought."

Gnogglebolt:"Is there a problem, guard!?"

Overzealous Guard:"I've already chased you across the city twice, I'm NOT doing it again!" the guard snarls.

Barbarus:"Drow, we need you out here. :O"

Sszeyl:"Gah."

Sszeyl:"Excuse me, how much were those clams?"

Overzealous Guard:"About time! Someone help me grab this druid before he makes a break for it again!"

Elros:"So, this is the same one again." to Gnogglebolt "Be careful, I saw this one earlier. He tried to flee, and covered a block in vines. Not pleasant.

Half-Elven Druid:"I'd come right back if you just let me stop that fallen sister!"

Gnogglebolt:"He said someone's going to die. I'd like to hear him ou--oh?" He looks up at Elros.

Barbarus:"Druid, you say? :O"

Miron Steelsprocket:What's going on, good man?

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"Three silver."

Sszeyl:"Sorry, pressing business, have to leave before they're done. Here's the silver, and a gold as tip, I'm so very sorry."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at the half-elf. "I'm sure that there may be something urgent but struggling isn't going to help you. SOmetimes, you have to go slow to go fast. Now calm down, and tell us and the guard what's going on."

Elros:"Yes, I believe this is the same one. I saw him on my way over here. I should say, he seems capaible of defending himself. Though it can't hurt to question him, I suppose."

Half-Elven Druid:"By the time I did that, it might be too late! Listen -- she was headed this way, you've got to stop her, she's going to make those wolves man-eaters, and then they'll be killed!"

Overzealous Guard:"You said goblins earlier! Get your alibis straight!"

Miron Steelsprocket:What wolves are you speaking about?

Tathi:"And what exactly are you talking about, half-human?"

Tathi:She glances over at Miron. "Actually, I might know that. There's apparently a group of lycanthropes in the town."

Thomas Lazarus:Tom listens intently, but doesn't step up. Not just yet. It'll be a chance to see how this motley band operates!

Half-Elven Druid:"No, no, lycanthropes can manage themselves! She's tricked some REAL wolves!"

Gnogglebolt:"Calm down, sir! Just stop, and start from the beginning."

Miron Steelsprocket:If you wish, i can cast a spell that will make him tell the truth alone

Half-Elven Druid:Diplomacy check, Gnogglebolt.

Gnogglebolt:"Who walked down this street, and who is she heading for? What wolves?"

Gnogglebolt:Diplomacy: « 1d20+9 = 8 + 9 = 17 »


 * Barbarus whistles.

Barbarus:And is now mounted. :o

Half-Elven Druid:"I told you! That fallen sister! I saw her, she was the one calling the dire wolf into the city! And she said something to the wolves about feasting on some goblins -- I don't care about the goblins, but the wolves! If they're proven man-eaters, they'll get killed! And if she was using magic to force them --" The druid is talking very quickly.

Miron Steelsprocket:Sense motive « 1d20+5 = 1 + 5 = 6 »

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt also caught the guard mention goblins, and starts getting a sinking feeling...that then drops right out of his gut as the half-elf speaks.

VAE:ouch

Tathi:"Someone's planning on attacking the goblins?"

Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 6 + 4 = 10 » Knowledge Local. « 1d20+4 = 15 + 4 = 19 » Knowledge Nature, to try and make sense of this.

Gnogglebolt:"Oh, NO! Thank you for telling us sir, we will take care of it! Don't worry!" He suddenly turns and runs down the street. "Sszeyl and Elros, to me!"

Miron Steelsprocket:He is lying! I feel it

Dr. Hatari:XDTathi:Tathi blinks, and follows along.

Miron Steelsprocket:This might be a trap!

Whispering Voice to Gnogglebolt: You hear a whispering voice in your ear that seems to come from nowhere; the voice is hard to detect, but it might be recognizeable as the anthropologist's if you listen closely. "Sparkgear -- if you're nearby, danger at the Swiftaxe residence -- hurry!"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt shakes his head at Miron as he runs as fast as his legs can take him "I know what he's talking about! It's the goblins I brought in myself! They have two darkwolves with them!" Gnogglebolt leads the group through several streets, untill they're somewhere else in the Market District

Miron Steelsprocket:Look at him, his face, dress... typical phenotype of a liar and a potential criminal... the spacing between his eyes, the nose... i am surprised he isn't in jail already

TMG:(go ahead and move the entire party, Liatai)

Overzealous Guard:"Exactly what I was thinking, gnome!"

Half-Elven Druid:"I'm telling the truth, I swear on my vows to the wilds!"

Miron Steelsprocket:Make sure he doesn't escape, it'd be best to take him to the station immediately.

Gnogglebolt:As Gnogglebolt heads off, he calls over his shoulder "We'll be back!"


 * Thomas Lazarus looks between the two parties now. He moves to travel with the others after a hesitant moment. "Whoever you are, we'll make sure this ends with minimal blood!" He likely trots out of earshot following the rest.

Miron Steelsprocket:Indeed. If we won't return, it will be clear it was a trap

Miron Steelsprocket:In that case, deal with him accordingly.

Liatai:You can move toward the northwestern building; though if you want to roll Listen checks first, you may.

VAE:which map

VAE:?Gnogglebolt:Listen: « 1d20+2 = 20 + 2 = 22 »


 * Thomas Lazarus listens! « 1d20+2 = 10 + 2 = 12 »

TMG:Woo. xD

Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 8 + 5 = 13 » Listen check!

Elros:listen « 1d20+6 = 11 + 6 = 17 »

Miron Steelsprocket:« 1d20+4 = 19 + 4 = 23 » Listen

Barbarus:« 1d20+5 = 14 + 5 = 19 » Listen.

Tathi:« 1d20+1+2 = 2 + 1 + 2 = 5 » listen!

Liatai:You all can hear the sounds of a fight raging from inside the apartment that was rented to the Swiftaxe goblins; and even the most deaf members of the party can hear the loud *SNAP* that eminates from within. It's not a bone-crunching snap -- more like someone maginified the sound of a snapping stick ten times.

Tathi:"That.. is a most unpleasent cacophony."

Sszeyl:"Move."

Thomas Lazarus:"!" Thomas looks around at the others quickly, trying to make a guess.

TMG:Is the door open?

Liatai:Roll initiative.

Liatai:Yes, it's open, and it's not a pretty sight that awaits you.

Gnogglebolt:Initiative: « 1d20+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »

Thomas Lazarus:Init « 1d20 = 13 »

VAE:which building?

Tathi:« 1d20+3 = 19 + 3 = 22 » init!

Elros:Initiative « 1d20+3 = 18 + 3 = 21 »

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt runs for the house, shouting "Shukek! Shukek, it's me open--" And sees the door open before he gets there. "Oh, no!"

Dr. Hatari:I don't want to just keep moving. Where should we be? XD

Miron Steelsprocket:« 1d20 = 5 » initiative

MeanyOwl has connected.

Meany is disconnected.

Gnogglebolt:He drew his weapon (morningstar) as he approached the door, and as he sees the scene before him, prepares to leap into the fray.

Ravenous Fiendish Wolf:Two demonic-looking wolves and one large one with prominent shoulder blades are attacking the goblins and such within the house. Shukek is face-to-face with the large wolf, which is sporting a nice bloody wound on its face from Grizzlemaw's teeth. The anthropologist, in the meantime, is trying to fight off another one of the wolves; his left arm is bleeding freely.

MeanyOwl is disconnected.

Meany has connected.

Liatai:One second, canine duty calls. -.- If someone could write down all of the initiative amounts, I'd appreciate it.

Dr. Hatari:Sure.

VAE:just open the initiative window and set for yourself

TMG:danman; she didn't have time to write them down, and presumably doens't want to read back

TMG:so I suppose Hatari is going to post them all in one line for her to copyb when she gets back

VAE:if you set it in the initiative window it will be set

VAE:that's all you need to do

VAE:three people already didi it.. 4 now

Dr. Hatari:Gnoggle: 4 - just need rolls from Meany. Everyone else is set looks like.

Ghostwish:like I already did because I am speshul

Meany:I did roll.

Dr. Hatari:I missed it. D:Meany:Got 8 both times.

VAE:so, add modifier and set it

Liatai:I didn't see a roll, either. ^^'

TMG:wait, i can add my own initiative? Dang, I didn't know that o.o

Meany:« 1d20+2 = 16 + 2 = 18 » Barb roll.

VAE:AHAHA

Sszeyl:« 1d20+1 = 14 + 1 = 15 » Dex check!

Meany:There.

Liatai:« 1d20+2 = 15 + 2 = 17 » « 1d20+2 = 13 + 2 = 15 » « 1d20+4 = 15 + 4 = 19 » « 1d20+2 = 7 + 2 = 9 » « 1d20+2 = 10 + 2 = 12 »

Ghostwish:woot, I r da fastest.

Liatai:Why yes, you are! :3

Tathi has received initiative.

TMG:and Gnogglebolt was shocked frozen at the sight :B

Ghostwish:Be those fiendish wolves in melee?

Dr. Hatari:Curse my token modesty. Still an entire turn of movement away from the rest of the group. >:P

Ghostwish:Actually, I'm not sure if it matters. I can't -see- any melee combatants. XD

TMG:(hey danman, can you remove Miron's last name from the token? I have to stretch the initiative window out a lot to see his init :B )

VAE:sure

TMG:(yeah, sorry hatari ^^; Liatai just said "you can move to the northwest building", so I did :B

VAE:though the ravenous fiendish wolf sortta does the same

TMG:it's okay, he's not important. x3

Ravenous Fiendish Wolf:One of the fiendish wolves is, and is currently trying to take a red-haired scholar's arm off. The other one is skulking around the larger wolf, trying to get at a small goblin riding on top of a worg pup.

Tathi:Liatai steps near the doorway, and notes the circling wolf going after the much smaller goblin. She decides not to give it a chance, and sends a flaming ray at it! « 1d20+4 = 15 + 4 = 19 » ranged touch attack for « 4d6 = 13 » fire damage!

Tathi:End turn

Dr. Hatari:... wut.

Dr. Hatari:Freudian slip? :P

Ghostwish:Meh?

Ghostwish:Oh geezus XD

TMG:...huh? OH AXD

Ghostwish:WOW. That was a hard failure.

Ghostwish:I might not have noticed it. XD

Ghostwish:Hell, I wonder if anyone would have. XD

TMG:Bweeheehee! Thanks for helping out, Liatai! 0:3

Faerie:...what?

VAE:ahahahahaa

Faerie:...oh!

Faerie:X3Ghostwish:I think Alex still hasn't notice- XD


 * Dr. Hatari stands triumphantly, having pointed out an error on the internet! :3

Snarling Fiendish Wolf:The wolf lets out an unholy, hair-raising YIPE as the flaming bolt hits it, before turning to snarl at the spellcaster, fur smoldering.

VAE:Lialtaria used Dragon Rage

Liatai:And if I hadn't been busy typing that, I would have been laughing my tail off in XDs! XD

TMG:I knew you were a nice GM, but this is just coddling! xD

Liatai:... Oh wait.

Ghostwish:liataui's a dragon wizard. :P

Liatai:Tathi, make a caster level check.

Ghostwish:SON OF A BISCUIT.

VAE:is a Lialtaria

VAE:they have a fire attack

Tathi:« 1d20+3 = 8 + 3 = 11 » caster level check!

Liatai:Whew! You're still safe. :3

Elros has received initiative.

Meany:None of them are safe.


 * Liatai is still chuckling over the typo. XD

Meany:Because people are crowding the door.

Meany:No one can get in.

TMG:erm.

TMG:You can mvoe though a friendly square

Liatai:You can move past allies freely.

Dr. Hatari:You can move through an allied player's space without penalty. You just can't remain in one without penalties.

Meany:Cool.

Meany:But.

Meany:Venezuela isn't going to be friendly about it.


 * Faerie thinks

Meany:Either you move, or you get trampled.

Ghostwish:and everyone will get AoOs on Vene for trying to force their way through occupied space.

Ghostwish:Chew on that. >:}

Faerie:If I do that though, I'll take all my movement, and now be the first target and not get an attack chance.

TMG:...erm. As long as Vene doesn't end turn overlapping somone else, it's good.

Dr. Hatari:Always with the irritating pets.

Meany:Op, forgot to fix something. :p

Meany:Barbie is still mounted on her, just moved him to get at his token.

TMG:alex; but, if you've drawn both your swords, -next- turn you can unload with a full attack

Ghostwish:hey, who's messin with mah rat?

TMG:also; shiesle.

Liatai:I was. I thought you wanted Kor with Tathi.

Ghostwish:he wasn't? o.o

Elros:Elros draws his weapons and moves up, though he considers that rushing into the house alone might not be the best plan.

Elros:End turn.

TMG:No matter what, if anyone tries to move past the very fist square in front of the doorway, Snarling gets an AoO

VAE:who's Snarling?

TMG:He threatens that square, and if anyone moves out of it...

TMG:Snarling Fiendish Wold? :B

VAE:oh i see now

Ghostwish:Gnogglebolt gets hit by a truck,we know.

Trak:The young goblin on worgback lets out a triumphant yell as he sees the new people in the doorway that he recognizes. He shouts to the snarling wolf, taunting it.

TMG:but yeah, he only gets 1 AoO a round, so after -someone- takes it, everyone else is safe...

Trak says in Goblin: "Ya! Ya! Over here, snarlface!"

Ghostwish:ooo.. could I knowledge arcane to try and figure out why I was making a caster level check?

Liatai:You could.

Tathi:« 1d20+12 = 6 + 12 = 18 » Knowledge, Arcane!

Trak:« 1d20+3 = 17 + 3 = 20 »

Snarling Fiendish Wolf:The wolf turns away from Tathi and snarls in the direction of the young goblin.

Barbarus has received initiative.


 * Thomas Lazarus notes Elros' drawn swords, and fishes his hand into a belt-pouch quickly.

Barbarus:"Venezuela! >:O"


 * Barbarus shouts a phrase in Feline.

Barbarus shouts in Feline: "To war!"

Liatai:Ride check to make it under the door without hitting your head, Barbarus.

Venezuela:Get that AoO over with, pretty boy. >:[ Imma kill you.

VAE:ahaha

Ghostwish:Oh please be a natural 1.

VAE:XDGhostwish:*BAMF* knocked out by doorframe.

TMG:hmm.. is there an AoO on large characters if they -move- through a threatened square without leaving it entirely?

Barbarus:« 1d20+2 = 8 + 2 = 10 »

VAE:I suspect so

Liatai:Fortunately for you, and unfortunately for the sake of the laws of comedy, you made it. And there is no AoO, go ahead!

Dr. Hatari:I would judge yes. It would be a loophole if you could just be large and slide around inside one of their threatened squares while never provoking.

Venezuela:« 1d20+6 = 17 + 6 = 23 » Mee mah hoof!

Liatai:Trak effectively helped you with that. :B

Liatai:Roll damage!

Venezuela:What's the damage for this thing?

VAE:Not a loophole, it would make no sense

VAE:because the problem is *moving* not leaving square

Liatai:1d4+3.

TMG:(hatari; no, not really, if Venezuela moved -one- more square, it would have provoked AoO, no question)

Venezuela:« 1d4+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 »

Dr. Hatari:I don't even see the monster. I'm just saying in general, any movement should provoke, not just whole-body leaving squares.

TMG:(and if moving once per turn? It could only move one square anyway, which is already a provoke-less 5-foot step)

TMG:(No loophole here)

VAE:but what about even larger things

Barbarus:And can I get my bow out and attack, since it's been Venezuela moving, or what? :o

Ghostwish:(why are we talking in paranths if we're already ooc?)

VAE:they cold move 10 feet then?

TMG:Hm...dunno then. Oh well! Check the rules after the session!

TMG:Let us carry on :D

Snarling Fiendish Wolf:Oof! So close, but no cigar. The mule's hoof makes a satisfying CRACK against the wolf's skull, but it's still standing, if staggering around a little. And you can get out your bow, but not attack.


 * Barbarus gets out his bow.

Barbarus:End turn.

Liatai:What's the rule on casting defensively again?

TMG:make concentration check against 15+spell level

TMG:if you don't to that and get an AoO, it's concentration against 10+damage taken

TMG:(but of course, the AoO has to actually hit)

TMG:So, it's a toss-up. Usually, if one has combat casting, they always cast devensively, because the +4 bonus almost negates the additional 5 to DC. Otherwise, some like to just take a chance.

Ezekiel Chirehan:The human curses in a language Barbarus might recognize -- if in a different dialect of said language -- before raising a hand and beginning to speak an arcane phrase. « 1d20+6 = 8 + 6 = 14 »

Ravenous Fiendish Wolf:SNAP. « 1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14 »

Ravenous Fiendish Wolf:« 1d6+1 = 6 + 1 = 7 »

TMG:(if that was for casting defensively, he didn't flub the spell, he just gets the AoO anyway--ah)

TMG:Now he's gotta make a second concentration -this- one to not flub

Barbarus:« 1d20+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 » Int check!

Barbarus:To understand the language. :B

Ezekiel Chirehan:The human's words die in his throat just after that as the wolf's teeth CRUNCH into his arm. He yells -- « 1d20+6 = 18 + 6 = 24 »

TMG:Success. Blast'em, Zeke. :>

Ezekiel Chirehan:And holds up a hand crackling with electricity, which he SLAMS into the wolf's skull before crumpling to the ground. « 3d6 = 12 »

Ghostwish:I have no idea who this ezek guy is. Is that bad? XD

TMG:Nope. Tathi has never seen him before.

Ghostwish:cool

Ravenous Fiendish Wolf:The wolf howls angrily, jerking as the electricity hits it, but remains standing... just BARELY.

Meany:Go go, Shukek ranger!

TMG:*great. Now I got the Power Ranges theme in my head, with Shukek instead of Power -_- *

TMG:*which makes no sense at all. :B *

Meany::BGrizzlemaw:Shukek is occupied at the moment spurring me on, old chap. « 1d20+7 = 6 + 7 = 13 » bite for « 1d6+4 = 6 + 4 = 10 » damage!

VAE:i am immune.. am listening ot other music


 * Ghostwish plays Dragonforce - Where Dragons Rule

Grizzlemaw:The dire wolf dodges this bite, though.

Sszeyl has received initiative.

VAE:that's a nice song!

VAE:the lynx approves

Sszeyl:Good thing I still have this quaterstaff out. :B

Liatai:(Psst. South, Meany. :B)

TMG:Oh. Clever, Meany. x3

Sszeyl:Double moves to get over here. End turn.

Snarling Fiendish Wolf:AoO - « 1d20+3 = 19 + 3 = 22 » on the drow!

Sszeyl:Hit. Roll damage.

Snarling Fiendish Wolf:« 1d6+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »

Snarling Fiendish Wolf:You got nipped. :B

TMG:No!

Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.

TMG:He actually avoided snarling!

Thomas Lazarus:Tom can hear little more than howls, gnashing, and spell-sizzles going on. At the sound of Zeke's yell, he hauls it and runs in there!

TMG:He went diagonally instead of through the threaened square xDTha's why I said he was clever, i didn't see that

Liatai:He went through the door, which is-- Oh!

Liatai:Very clever indeed. :3 You did not get nipped!

Sszeyl::DDire Wolf:The dire wolf, feeling surrounded, goes for the only combatant yet to wound it -- Grizzlemaw. « 1d20+11 = 18 + 11 = 29 »


 * Thomas Lazarus draws his roundshield and sword, taking a guarded stance near Ezekiel. "Just hold on!"

TMG:O.O

Dire Wolf:« 1d8+10 = 5 + 10 = 15 »

TMG:O_O O_O

Grizzlemaw:The old worg howls as the dire wolf's teeth crunch into his leg.

Sszeyl:"Hmm."


 * Barbarus shouts again in Feline. >:O

Barbarus shouts in Feline: "To battle! To arms! To death!" Given you the three possible translations of the phrase.

Ravenous Fiendish Wolf:The fiendish wolf near the downed human is still barely standing, and as such, turns on the man in armor near it! « 1d20+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 » bite for « 1d6+1 = 6 + 1 = 7 » damage, then it collapses.

TMG:It bit the floor. :B

TMG:Literally. xD


 * Thomas Lazarus leans out of the way pretty easily. He blinks down at the creature in wonder and looks to the others.

Snarling Fiendish Wolf:The other one was moved by the younger goblin's taunt, and charges forward, drawing an AoO from Venezuela.

Venezuela:Bitch, get your black ass back here. >:O

Venezuela:« 1d20+6 = 8 + 6 = 14 »

TMG:*snerk*

Snarling Fiendish Wolf:How did you know I was -- ACK OUCH. Roll damage!

Venezuela:« 1d4+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 »

Snarling Fiendish Wolf:This time, the CRACK of hoof on skull is even more satisfying as the demonic creature falls head over tail onto the ground in a bloody, smoldering heap!


 * Venezuela rears in murderous victory! :O

Miron has received initiative.

VAE:Lol

TMG:"HEE-haw! HEE-haw!"

Liatai:Red X in this case will mean dying.

Miron :Vel Karsh!

Meany:Oh lawd.

TMG:what?

Meany:See that red x?

Meany:On the human?

TMG:Ah. Yes. o.o

Meany:I say again.

Meany:Oh lawd.

Liatai:Dying, not dead yet!

Liatai:Only slightly dead! XD

Dr. Hatari:It's all good, baby. Dr. Tom has arrived.

TMG:"Only Mostly Dead"

Faerie:"I'm no' dead yet!"

Liatai:They're not dead until I put a dead label on them! X3

Dr. Hatari:*CLOCK*

Faerie:(Monty Python reference. >.>)

Miron :Casts Inflict Moderate wounds on the dire wolf

VAE:now, should i roll a touch attack?

Liatai:Touch attack!

Liatai:Yep.

Miron :« 1d20+0 = 4 + 0 = 4 »

TMG:hrm.

Liatai:Miss.

VAE:farghlblarg

Dr. Hatari:Wait

TMG:I wonder if that provokes AoO

VAE:hmm?

Liatai:... Good point. o.o

VAE:i don't think so.. otherwise it'd be pretty useless

Liatai:Concentration check, Miron!

VAE:i mean, it is *meant* to be used at this range

Dr. Hatari:Don't you atleast have bonuses to hit from being small and having +1 BAB?

Dr. Hatari:Excluding stats?

VAE:that's true

Dr. Hatari:And I think you're flanking.

TMG:actually, all touch spells you can cast beforehand and then hold as a charge

VAE:should have been a +2 bonus... it still wouldn't hit .. make it +3

VAE:still no cigar


 * Dr. Hatari tried! X3

Liatai:Nope, still wouldn't hit. Now roll Concentration. :3

VAE:« 1d20+6 = 13 + 6 = 19 »

Ghostwish:so the dire wolf be a foe yes? :D

Liatai:Whew! You're safe, you managed to keep yourself from getting an AoO from the large, and yes, Ghost, quite hostile wolf.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

VAE:does anyone mind if during the ensuing fight i put some pasta to boil?

Liatai:Not at all!


 * Dr. Hatari also does so.

VAE:fine.. set water to boil

VAE:in about two-three songs i'm gonna put pasta in

Dr. Hatari:Measuring cook time by song? Very classy. :D

VAE:yeah.. always do that when i cook

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt was almost stunned in shock as everyone rushes over his head. He sees his associate go down fighting one of the blackwolves. "EZEKIEL!" He shouts, but sees the others rush to his side, and moves in himself to try and get near the large wolf in the center of the fray

Gnogglebolt:Double-move, end turn.

VAE:measure by eye, time by ear

Tathi has received initiative.

Gnogglebolt:unless that wolf has 10 range, no AoO on me

Liatai:Yep, you're good. :3

Tathi:Liat- I mean, Tathi quickly gestures and sends a pair of unerring missiles into the dire wolf! « 1d4+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 » and « 1d4+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »!

Ghostwish:end turn!

Dire Wolf:I see what you did there -- THWACK WHAM! The two force missiles slam into the wolf, leaving some nice indentations. Well, not nice if you're the wolf.

Elros has received initiative.

Liatai:Go go half-elven ranger!

TMG:well, with the first fiendish wolf down, there's no way Elros can get in to the big one this turn without an AoO on himself, unless he moves just 5 feet away and waits for next turn

Liatai:... doesn't quite fit the meter. :B Actually there is a way.

TMG:Oh great. Now I'm imagining an Elven rangers theme song.

TMG:Which -almost- makes sense this time xD

Dr. Hatari:... Wait! It's providence!

VAE:ahahaha

Dr. Hatari:"Perhaps we should wait for a name to come to us."

Dr. Hatari:We are... (everyone chorus with me)

Dr. Hatari:THE ELVEN RANGERS.

TMG:Mighty Morphin' Elven rangers? :B

Liatai:If Elros goes south and then west in a square, he can get in range.

Faerie:...is that snarling wolf a thing we need to kill?

Ghostwish:GO GO ELVEN RANGERS

VAE:It's the druids that are morphin'

VAE:not the rangers

TMG:Snarling and Ravenous are down

Liatai:The snarling wolf is dead; the dire wolf is the only one still up.

TMG:it's big guy who's still up

TMG:aaand, er

TMG:that's big guy's square o.o

Faerie:Oh.

TMG:ah, nvm

Faerie:Whup.

Meany:Actually.

Meany:Dying.

Liatai:Moving there, like so would avoid an AoO for you. :3

Meany:Not dead. :B

VAE:and ezekiel apparently died too

Liatai:No, they're just mostly dead! XD

Faerie:Close enough. Do I get flanking?

TMG:You...shiesle. DO not get flanking.

TMG:only if someone moves directly across--wait a second

Liatai:Actually... since I can draw a line from you to Shukek through the worg, you do.

VAE:why shouldn't he get flanking?

TMG:Sszeyl has ended turn in Vene's space o.o

Liatai:*wolf, not worg.

VAE:and wtf is shiesle?

TMG:german version of shit. :B

VAE:that's Scheisse

Faerie:And flanking is...+1?

Liatai:+2.

TMG:Or something like that. Probably misspelled, and missing an accent

VAE:no accents

Elros:Elros finally gets around to this whole attacking thing with two swords! right hand « 1d20+4 = 4 + 4 = 8 » and left « 1d20+3 = 9 + 3 = 12 »

Liatai:Unfortunately, both swings go wide. Luckily for you, the people near you are small. :B


 * Thomas Lazarus seems primarily concerned with Zeke at the moment, but looks towards the huge wolf while kneeling. "That man in the street - he said that creature is being tricked!"

Faerie:Verily. End turn.

Miron :I suspect the man lied.... it's unimportant now, anyways

Trak:"Ya! Ya! Ita, Frozglek!" The worg pup tries valiantly to bite the wolf -- « 1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16 »

Sszeyl:"Shukek! How fares the gore this morning? >:o"

Tathi:"It is rather odd for a dire wolf to team up with fiendish varieties.."

Trak:... and succeeds. o.o « 1d6+4 = 4 + 4 = 8 »

Trak:... dare I try Frozglek's luck? :o « 1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10 »

TMG:(if Gnogglebolt can talk? Don't like these conversations out of turn, but eh...)

Dire Wolf:No luck with the trip attempt, but the wolf is sporting another nice gash from worg teeth! And yes, Gnogglebolt, go ahead.

Barbarus has received initiative.

VAE:half characters already have anime portraits... jsut live with it

Dr. Hatari:Just keep it to a less than 6 seconds worth of shout. It's not like imposing arbitary init limbo walls between communication is much better. :P


 * Barbarus shouts! >:O

Barbarus shouts in Feline: "War!"

Gnogglebolt:"If it's tricked, put it to sleep! We'll sort it out later!" Gnogglebolt shouts out


 * Venezuela coup-de-gra's the Snarling wolf.

TMG:...AoO from dire wold

TMG:*wolf

VAE:it's coup-de-grace

Old Shukek:"It'll be better when it's not on Grizzlemaw!" the old goblin shouts back to Sszeyl.

Dr. Hatari:That's true.

Barbarus:Fine. :P

Barbarus:No coup-de-gras.

Barbarus:Instead...>:3

Barbarus:« 1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18 » Fwip! Longbow arrow coming at you for « 1d8 = 4 » damage!

VAE:er... shooting at melee range?

VAE:isn't thar AoOland?

Ghostwish:Yup.

VAE:the dire wolf'll chew yer arse

Venezuela:Go for it, then. Imma hoof this boy's ride.

Dire Wolf:The arrow lodges in the dire wolf's side. Technically, he's not in melee range, being on Venezuela's back.... he should be a square back. On the mule's actual back, not her head. :B

Venezuela:« 1d20+6 = 13 + 6 = 19 » Hoof!

Venezuela:« 1d4+3 = 4 + 3 = 7 »

TMG:There's also a penealty for attacking with a ranged weapon from a mount, but eh...

TMG:(unless barb has Mounted Archery)

Dire Wolf:And a solid kick to the hindquarters from the mule. YIPE!

Ezekiel Chirehan:« 1d100 = 59 »

Old Shukek:The old goblin raises a hand -- « 1d20+5 = 13 + 5 = 18 » Concentration!

Old Shukek:And shouts out a warcry as the same *SNAP* sound from earlier rings out. The wolf yips and flinches, ears flattening.

Dire Wolf:« 1d20+6 = 14 + 6 = 20 » save...

Dire Wolf:Oof, damage, but no deafness. Onward!

Sszeyl has received initiative.

TMG:Sszeyl should move out of Vene's space :B

Sszeyl::BLiatai:Yes. :B Five-foot step should do nicely.

Sszeyl:Hey!

Liatai:You were on the wolf.

Sszeyl::PLiatai:Unless you're trying to tackle it? :B

Sszeyl:Attempting to mount it.

Liatai:.... are you serious.

Liatai:WHAT. XD

TMG:.....Attempting to mount the dire wolf? o.O

VAE:pfft

Liatai:OK, you're welcome to try~ but it'll get an AoO, at least.

TMG:Ah...I guess that's Grapple :B

Liatai:Exactly.

TMG:Clostest thing I can think of to mount a hostile

VAE:grapple against somehting with 2ce the HD

Sszeyl:Pounce! >:O

Dire Wolf:SNAP! « 1d20+11 = 20 + 11 = 31 » for « 1d8+10 = 8 + 10 = 18 »

Miron :The drow... he is insane

TMG:(no, you only move into the square if you succeed on the opposed grapple)

Dire Wolf:... dang.

Dr. Hatari:That is just not your day.

Sszeyl:The drow is dead. :B

Liatai:... Folks, your call. Good DM, evil DM?

TMG:Oh, wait

Dr. Hatari:For that stunt? It doesn't need to be said. lol

TMG:and if the attack hits, the grapple fails--OH

Ghostwish:Evil! :D

TMG:Oh my gawd.

TMG:No. Please don't be evil GM. >:VAE:evil DM

Ghostwish:Evil! Vote with me, Hatari!

VAE:it was a critical

Dr. Hatari:I voted for obvious, didn't I? ;3

Liatai:GM vote overrules, unfortunately, since I notice Sszeyl's HP wasn't updated.

VAE:that should have some weight

TMG:I'm sure Meany has learned his lesson :/

Sszeyl:My hp was updated. :B

Sszeyl:I upgraded to account for a night of sleep.

VAE:hell. he seems to enjoy it

Liatai:Come on, you spent the night in a house with a healer. :B Lethiriss wouldn't want you bleeding on her furniture.

VAE:let's say this way

Ghostwish:Tathi: Well golly gee, if we had known it was that easy to kill drow - and thus all wood elves kept dire wolves as pets.

VAE:the wolf rolled a 20

Sszeyl:There.

VAE:ihe should roll for the crit

Liatai:Either way, the elf is very close to dead.

VAE:if he hits again, he's dead, if not, he's close to dead

VAE:as in. if the wolf doesn't crit we'll assume sszeyl was at full health

TMG:hooooooboy.....

VAE:true so.

Liatai:The wolf's guaranteed a hit on anything except a 2 or 1. Hardly fair odds. :B

Dr. Hatari:The wolf would have to roll a 2 or lower to not - yeah.

VAE:>:3

Liatai:... boy oh boy, you have it in for this drow, don't you, VAE. XD

TMG:Oh geeze. o.o

Dr. Hatari:In other words it was a dangerous move that we're debating making consequenceless.

VAE:indeed...

VAE:it's called Darwin awards

VAE:i am a fan

TMG:this is why level 3 party people don't fight 6 hit die enemies >_-

VAE:they do, they just need to be careful

Liatai:And THAT is why I'm giving you a chance.

Liatai:You know what? GM Fiat time. We need to move on with the battle. :B

TMG:So...hit, but no crit? Or dead drow?

Liatai:Meany, update Sszeyl's HP to -9.

Liatai:Now you're in the party's hands. >:3

Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.

Thomas Lazarus:Tom had knelt down and invoked a healing spell. Pale blue light and lucent energy had begun to bleed off of his hand, and just as he was about to close Zeke's wounds -- bloody spray spatters against the left of his face and he flinches. "..."

Thomas Lazarus:"...!!" He shifts around and urgently mutters a new prayer. (Cure moderate wounds on Sszeyl! « 2d8+4 = 4 + 4 = 8 »)

VAE:liatai, make the drow be dying in icon

VAE:as in, the red cross

TMG:-1, but stable.


 * Thomas Lazarus staggers upright and rushes towards the creature.


 * Thomas Lazarus slams his blade against his shield once and glowers at the wolf. "Hey! Over here!"

Dr. Hatari:Done. Checking food~


 * VAE noms pasta

Dire Wolf:The wolf all too happily obliges! « 1d20+11 = 20 + 11 = 31 » for « 1d8+10 = 4 + 10 = 14 » damage!

Dire Wolf:Crit confirm - « 1d20+11 = 11 + 11 = 22 »

TMG:GEEZUS

Ghostwish:for the love of..

Liatai:OUCH. Healer down!

VAE:who was this on?

TMG:28 damage on Thomas o.O

Tathi:Tathi winces visibly at the injury the drow sustains. "SSZEYL! For the love of the forest, someone kill that damn wolf!"

Liatai:« 1d100 = 25 » « 1d100 = 58 »

Liatai:Other wolves are still dying.

Miron has received initiative.

VAE:now, you wise folk

TMG:By the way.

TMG:How much does Sszeyl weigh

VAE:how can i cast a touch spell on the wolf without taking AoO?

TMG:and how much does thomas weigh?

Dr. Hatari:Back. Oh hey, what happened. XD

Dr. Hatari:Well shoot.

VAE:you got bit

VAE:also, i repeat

Liatai:100-something pounds for the drow, Thomas, probably significantly more due to the armor -- and a crit happened, Hatari. XD

TMG:danman;

Dr. Hatari:Another crit!

TMG:because you have to -cast- the spell, -then- touch

TMG:So yes. Meany and Hatari, tally up how much both of your characters weigh, with equipment.

VAE:hmm, that's rather hard in this particular place and situation

TMG:This is relevant.

TMG:...and actually

Liatai:Or step back and cast something that isn't an Inflict spell. :B

VAE:now... can i do the concentration check to avoid AoO before casting somehow?

Dr. Hatari:Thomas weighs 267lbs, net.

TMG:I'm not sure if the touch spells -do- provoke AoO

VAE:I don't think so

TMG:The book isn't clear.

TMG:Relevant page is 140, btw

VAE:they are bloody meant to be used close-range

Dr. Hatari:They do. They provoke where you begin casting.

VAE:it's why a sword doesn't cause an AoO and a bow does

Dr. Hatari:Holding a charge where you stand and then moving, and then touching isn't normally possible within 1 round.

VAE:see..


 * Dr. Hatari catches up. x3

Sszeyl:« 115+49 = 115 + 49 = 164 »

TMG:danman; honestly, I'm not sure either way.

TMG:Liatai's call.

VAE:True - the book is ambiguous

TMG:« 267+164 = 267 + 164 = 431 »

Liatai:Well, a touch spell evoked an AoO on an NPC earlier.

TMG:Alrighty.

VAE:so be it then

Liatai:I say again.

Liatai:Is there something other than an Inflict spell you can cast? :3

Liatai:Five-foot step back, cast?

VAE:sound burst.. but that'd kinda hit everyone


 * Dr. Hatari chuckles.

TMG:...you have nothing else?

Dr. Hatari:Shortest character ever.

VAE:nothing else useful in the situation

Liatai:Anything non-damaging? At all? What's your spell list?

TMG:Hooboy.

VAE:i mean... we need to put the bloody wolf down ASAP

Liatai:Do you have a melee weapon, for crying out loud? XD

TMG:There's more ways to take someone down than with damage

VAE:there are some things.. but that'd be not likely to succeed

VAE:lemme check

Ghostwish:how about we knock em between -1 and -9 and heal the stupid bastard afterwards? XD

VAE:nah.. that works on humanoids

Liatai:Melee weapon. Do you has it. :B

VAE:i do.. but it does a puny 1d6

Dr. Hatari:Bringing 3 potential sources of damage back up is the optimal DPS strategy, if that's what you're implying. :P

TMG:« 90*(3/4) = 90 * 3 / 4 = 67.50 »

Liatai:Who knows? That might be what does the trick.

TMG:« 67.5*5 = 67.5 * 5 = 337.5 »

TMG:Hmm.

VAE:but it's unlikely to hit

Liatai:You don't know how many HP it has, or what it's AC is.

Liatai:*its

VAE:can i do concentration beforehand?

Liatai:If you insist.

VAE:it likely has natural armour

Liatai:I've done what I can.

Liatai::BVAE:best course possible, methinks

VAE:besides, short of a crit, i can survive being bitten

Dr. Hatari:Me too. :P

Miron :« 1d20+6 = 8 + 6 = 14 » concentration

Liatai:... Are you sure you want to do this? Really? Okay.

Dire Wolf:« 1d20+11 = 4 + 11 = 15 »

Dire Wolf:« 1d8+10 = 4 + 10 = 14 » damage!

VAE:now, this isn\t enough for any spell, and the above hits

TMG:now make concentration.

Dire Wolf:Concentration, DC 24.

TMG:Against DC 24

Miron :« 1d20+6 = 1 + 6 = 7 »

VAE:ahahahaha

Meany:PFFF

VAE:as usually i fail

Dire Wolf:FAIL. :B The wolf teeth sinking into your upper arm sort of put a damper on spellcasting.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

TMG:Maybe Miron needs Beridze? :B

TMG:Okay.

VAE:he does!


 * Thomas Lazarus gurgles on his blood and sputters a bit. That throat was mine, you thief.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt is highly relieved as Thomas stablizes Sszeyl with magic...and then suddenly gets chomped himself, spraying blood everywhere.

Gnogglebolt:Meany? hatari?

Gnogglebolt:Bow down and worship the Tinker class

Liatai:... HOLY COW. XD

Liatai:Can Gnogglebolt -- WOW. XD

Liatai:Iron Gnome. XD

Gnogglebolt:because 2nd-level tinkers get a special ability called "Packrat", which allows me to calculate my carrying capacity as if it were 5 points greater."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebotl GRABS the two fools by the scruffs of their necsk, and DRAGS their asses out of the fire.

Tathi has received initiative.

Liatai:Adrenaline, it's a wonderful thing. XD

Dr. Hatari:I don't appreciate the plural fools after that dire wolf tackle. >:P

Tathi:Tathi isn't about to beat around the bush with this troublesome creature. She unleashes ANOTHER pair of magic missiles on it! « 1d4+1 = 4 + 1 = 5 » and « 1d4+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »!

Tathi:end turn

Gnogglebolt:He then starts setti8ng about to do first aid on Thomas and Zeke (next turn) and shouts "HELP ME!"

Dire Wolf:WHAM WHAM! Good going, Tathi; it's just barely standing now!

Elros has received initiative.

TMG:Come on, Elros!

TMG:SHow it the art of two blades!

Dr. Hatari:Hm. I think you could 5 foot step one pace to the west to flank with Grizzlemaw.

Faerie:...wait, how am I flanking what?

Meany:He's already flanking.

Meany:Just attack. :O

Dr. Hatari:If that's so, nevermind.

Elros:Elros attempts to show it something more artful and less flailing wildly. right « 1d20+3 = 12 + 3 = 15 » and left « 1d20+2 = 11 + 2 = 13 »

VAE:wait! i can cast defensively and not take this sort of pains

TMG:danman; that's what you -did- the first time

VAE:oh, true

Liatai:Roll damage on the right hand!


 * VAE facepaws yet again

TMG:but to cast defensively, you have to make the concentration check of 15+spell level

Faerie:Erm...are either of those good enough?

VAE:which isn't all that bad

Liatai:Yep, the right hand is!

Liatai:Roll damage!

Elros:damage for « 1d8 = 3 »

TMG:(and as 1handed, you add half your Str modifier)

TMG:what's your Str modifer?

Elros:« 3+.5*2 = Invalid expression: 3+.5*2. »

Elros:...

Elros:« 3+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »

TMG:there ya go

Dire Wolf:The bloody melee finally draws to a close as the half-elf's blade sinks into the wolf... It staggers, then falls over, shaking the floorboards somewhat as its hefty girth impacts the wood.

Elros:Elros hmphs approvingly.

Gnogglebolt:Finally, Gnogglebolt sees the large dire wolf go down. "EVERYONE!" help me with first aid! Sszeyl's fine, help Zeke and Thomas!"


 * Old Shukek guides Grizzlemaw back out the way, growling comforting words in a canine-sounding tongue.

VAE:ah @$@

Tathi:Tathi steps in, around the donkey of death, but she doesn't seem to know who Zeke is.. so she tries her best to assist with Thomas. « 1d20+1 = 18 + 1 = 19 »

VAE:i indeed had a spell that was non-melee range and would ave been useful

Trak:Fort save - « 1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20 »

VAE:anyways

Trak:The young goblin, while still shaking from the rush of being in combat, does not faint.

Gnogglebolt:"Ah! Excellent!" Gnogglebolt sighs as the blood is stemmed from Thomas. "Now Zeke! Hurry!"


 * Thomas Lazarus has been quite grounded, leaving his blade and shield behind. Blood is running all over the place from his neck.

Miron :Miron walks towards Thomas and lays his hand on him Cure Light wounds « 1d8+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 »

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt prepares to Aid Another.

Dr. Hatari:Hahahaha, oh wow.


 * Thomas Lazarus sucks in a sudden GASP of air desperately as Miron finishes his spell.

TMG:oooorrr Thomas is back on his feet

Venezuela:Coup-de-gras for you, Snarly.

Venezuela:And one for you, Dire.

Thomas Lazarus:*Cough, cough* He clambers upright and looks around wildly "!?"

VAE:for coup de grace yo u have to make a melee attack

Barbarus:And a nice arrow through the skull for Ravenous.

VAE:it's auto-crit

Gnogglebolt:"It's okay, you're safe now." Gnogglebolt says to Thomas

Tathi:"Took a bit of a fall there, Mr. Lazarus."

Gnogglebolt:And he looks up and sees Barabrus "WAIT! Not the dire wolf, not yet!"

Miron :yep, y' safe.. but the man over there needs help

Meany:Last tim I coup de graced it didn't. :o


 * Thomas Lazarus holds his neck and looks around. He whispers urgently, "Not me.."

Gnogglebolt:"But Hurry! Someone help Zeke!"

VAE:then someone has misapplied CdG rules

Meany:GM?

VAE:thomas should be on +1 HP


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Miron and puts two and two together. "Thank..s.." He trundles over to Zeke.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt tries his own Heal check, or Aid another if someone steps in « 1d20 = 11 »

VAE:he has been healed by 6 pts

Elros:Elros attempts to heal him as well. « 1d20+6 = 13 + 6 = 19 » heal check


 * Thomas Lazarus stoops down and intones another spell hoarsely. (Cure moderate wounds some more! « 2d8+4 = 7 + 4 = 11 »)

TMG:Ah, first aid unecessary

Dr. Hatari:On Ezekiel.

Meany:Liatai? :o

Dr. Hatari:What's the problem?

TMG:huh?

TMG:what's what problem?

Meany:Dispute over coup de gras.

Ezekiel Chirehan:The scholar's eyes snap open as he draws a hissing breath... then squeeze shut again as he curls around his injured arm and begins to swear fluently in the plains dialect of Feline. "-- Son of a merrasharrak -- The goblins, are they all right?!"

Dr. Hatari:A coup de grace is just an auto-crit attack without any attack roll, usable exclusively on the helpless.

VAE:Yes, coup de grace is auto-crit without attack roll

Dr. Hatari:If there are no numbers, it's because the creature has 0% chance of surviving and it's unnecessary overhead.

Gnogglebolt:"Everyone's fine, we're all alive."

VAE:if the damage doesn't kill you, you have to roll a fort save against i think 15 + damage sustained

Tathi:"The goblins are fine, but what of you, Mr..?"

VAE:i.e. you are most likely dead

TMG:and if someone is in the -1 to -9 hp, it'd have to be someone with a d4 weapon to fail the coup de grace :B

Liatai:Depends. Does he hear Gnogglebolt or heed his words?

Thomas Lazarus:Tom pats Zeke's shoulder once and moves on to Sszeyl.

Ghostwish:erk, brb

Miron :What happened here?

Gnogglebolt:He looks up to Thomas and Miron's healing magics. "Thank you, thank you both."

Miron :Did you see a youth with the face of a liar around here?

Thomas Lazarus:He kneels down and whispers another spell. (Cure light wounds on our Drow cowboy! « 1d8+4 = 7 + 4 = 11 »)


 * Thomas Lazarus pays no mind to Gnoggle's thanks. Not yet, atleast. Sheesh this room looks like an episode of Bleach.

TMG:(so, Sszeyl is on his feet now, too?)

Ezekiel Chirehan:He looks around, sitting up, eyes locking on Gnogglebolt for a second. "... So... you did get the Message. Good." He turns to Tathi. "... Chirehan. Ezekiel Chirehan. Monstrous anthropologist."

Dr. Hatari:By my count, he should be in pretty good health.

Dr. Hatari:Unless I have to beat SR or something. :B

Miron :Monstrous anthropologist? So, you study the anatomy of human-like beasts?

Miron :And.. what message?

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt blinks. "he message...oh." He looks to the others. "I recruited Chirehan to be the goblin's guide in this city."

Gnogglebolt:*the message

Miron :Was the vile-faced youth your messenger?

Barbarus:« 1d20+5 = 19 + 5 = 24 » Listen.

Barbarus:He does.

Gnogglebolt:"Now it seems I have to hire some guards."

Barbarus:So just coup de gras for the Snarly.

Ezekiel Chirehan:"Not the anatomy, the culture..." He adjusts his glasses, looking at Miron. "... gnome?"

VAE:coup de graCE bloody hell!


 * VAE claws the owl


 * Sszeyl rises from the floor, all vampire style.

Dr. Hatari:Well, they're just functionless silent French letters. They won't be missed.

Miron :Miron Steelsprocket *extends hand*

Sszeyl:"Who here speaks Goblin?"

Gnogglebolt:"I do, and Zeke does."

Gnogglebolt:"And Tathi."

Ghostwish:back!

VAE:oh hell


 * Thomas Lazarus looks a little thrown by Sszeyl's speedy recovery. "..."

VAE:i haven't added languages

Gnogglebolt:"Don't know about Miron or Thomas."

Old Shukek:"Bah, we could have handled a normal threat. This was... something weird."

Sszeyl:"Has anyone asked our friends how this happened, or if they're okay?"

VAE:besides Draconic that is, and with a +3 int, he should get more

Gnogglebolt:"I'm about to."

Gnogglebolt:"Ah..."

Barbarus:"You, little boy, you fought well."

Gnogglebolt:"Look, I know how bad it is, but can someone do first aid on that dire wolf without magic?"

Thomas Lazarus:"You.. ah.." He rubs his throat painfully. "Are your.. friends.. hurt.. goblin?"

Ezekiel Chirehan:"You didn't tell me these Swiftaxes had druidic enemies..."

Barbarus:« 1d20+2 = 8 + 2 = 10 » Wis check.

Gnogglebolt:"Someone said it was tricked, and if it was, then it doesn't need to die yet.

Miron :Why would anyone heal the wolf?

Barbarus:Which ammounts to an untrained heal check on the dire wolf here.

Miron :Wolves are predators, they endanger people and their property

Tathi:"I could try? I seemed to have a bit of luck with Thomas." She says, biting her lip nervously.

TMG:(danman, you are not playign trofi again.)

TMG:(DO NOT do this all over again)

Gnogglebolt:"Thank you, Tathi."

VAE:if i was, then i'd probably heal him XD

Dr. Hatari:In his defense, I was also going to cure minor wounds on the wolf to stabalize it and get the full story.

Gnogglebolt:"Now...quickly, Shukek, time is of the essence. Start from the beginning, when things were normal."

Dr. Hatari:But sentient people first.

Old Shukek:The goblin looks up at the human, squinting somewhat... then relaxing when he sees the sign of Pelor. "We're fine. Trak's all shaken up, and Grizzlemaw's got a good gash, but no casualties."

VAE:Think.. would you be especially glad to see healed a wolf that almost took off yer hand and killed two-three others?

Tathi:"Wait, Thomas! Do you know first aid?"

TMG:that's why Gnogglebolt DID NOT ASK FOR HEALING

VAE:for anyone except maybe gnogglebolt that makes no. fucking. sense.

TMG:he asked for FIRST AID

VAE:it amounts to the same, pretty much

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas nods at the goblin, then looks over to Tathi. "A.. little."

Old Shukek:"I'll help with the wolf. Go ask the human. He's better with Common."

Elros:to Taithi "Allow me, I may be able to assist as well."

Tathi:"Well.. crap.. here goes nothing.." « 1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20 »

Tathi:Hot damn that elven woman is on a healing roll.

VAE:besides, the only one concerned about it was the druid whom Miron considers to be a liar anyways

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to Shukek. "All right."

Gnogglebolt:"So, you were here the whole time, Zeke?"

Gnogglebolt:"What happened? Start from the beginning."


 * Thomas Lazarus simply watches Tathi work. He determines that he doesn't even need to intervene. "Good work.. miss Tathi."


 * Ezekiel Chirehan nods. "I was here to hand off the tribe colors to these goblins... don't know where they ended up."

VAE:and i repeat.. if it was trofim he'd probably go to heal him... heck. he'd almost certainly try to train him for himself - he tried with the worg, remember?

Tathi:"How the heck am I even doing this so well? I blow people up, not stitch them back together.."

Thomas Lazarus:With everyone else accounted for amongst the living, Thomas acts as every bad doctor does, and looks to his own health last. (Cure Moderate Wounds on self « 2d8+4 = 3 + 4 = 7 »)

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks over, and sees that the wolf is no longer bleeding so heavily. "Ah, good. if anyone is good with rope, dag it to a corner and tie it up for now, until we can get to the bottom of this.


 * Miron frowns at the whole operation with the wolf ,but says nothing further

Tathi:"Right, I'm bloody enough. Someone else can manage this madness."

Ezekiel Chirehan:"I barely got in the door when someone knocked..." The human suddenly pales, then looks around the room, somewhat panicked. "-- The wolves! Did any of them -- did they change?!"

Miron :Change?

Gnogglebolt:"Wait, what?"

Gnogglebolt:"The half-elf was yelling about changing and man-eaters."

Gnogglebolt:"Start from the beginning."

Gnogglebolt:"what is going on."

Miron :Indeed.. this doesn't sound right...

Thomas Lazarus:"With these people safe, there is time, now."

Thomas Lazarus:"Time to ask him ourselves."

Miron :Some should stay here to guard, however

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to Lazarus. "As soon as Ezekiel tells us what happened."


 * Thomas Lazarus flinches and dabs on some more of the holy light. « 1d8+4 = 7 + 4 = 11 »

Ezekiel Chirehan:The man visibly relaxes at the confusion, and the sight of the still-furry wolves. "... That's a relief... I was afraid I would need to get myself treated for lycanthropy. There was a knock, as I said... and I opened the door to see a woman in green standing outside the door, with those beasts beside her. She asked for the Redmaws, and didn't take too kindly to the truth I told her."

Miron :What redmaws?

Gnogglebolt:"Oh dear." He looks to Miron. 'I'll tell you after this, I promise brother."

Gnogglebolt:"Just hold."

Miron :If you say so...

Gnogglebolt:He looks back to Zeke, waiting for him to continue.


 * Barbarus attempts to heft the wolf onto Venezuela's back.

Miron :Continue, mister

Barbarus:« 1d20 = 10 » Strength check!

VAE:to heave

Ezekiel Chirehan:"She made a growling sound to that large one... and then it tried to force its way in, and I heard her tell the others -- in Common, no less -- to... let me see if I remember her exact words... 'make dinner out of these liars and goblins.' That's when I sent the Message."

Ezekiel Chirehan:"That's why I feared they were lycanthropes... no normal wolf that I know of understands Common."

Miron :I see...

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt frowns. This was dire indeed.

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas seems to be paying no attention to the exposition going on around him. He's apparently quite diligent about these kinds of things. Spotting a few nicks left on Sszeyl, he casts a pair of minor orisons and recovers the Drow's last 2 HP. "Miron, I owe you." He casts a pair of spells on the gnome, as well. (« 1d8+4 = 4 + 4 = 8 » « 1d8+4 = 5 + 4 = 9 ».)

VAE:awesome pun there


 * Thomas Lazarus casts his final spell on himself. « 2d8+4 = 13 + 4 = 17 »

Liatai:Indeed. ;3

TMG:...Ooops.

Barbarus:Again with the hefting.

Miron :Thank you, friend.

TMG:No intended x_x

Barbarus:« 1d20 = 9 » Strength check!

Liatai:Hefting what, and where?

Barbarus:Wolf corpse onto Venezuela's back.

Gnogglebolt:"Alright, I'll call for some guards to stay here with some of you."

TMG:wait

Liatai:... Which wolf? :B

TMG:the wolf IS dead?

Liatai:The dire one isn't.

Barbarus:Snarling Fiendish Wolf.

TMG:Ahh. Okay.

Liatai:What's Barb's strength?

Barbarus:11Faerie:It goes up to 11?

Faerie:>.>

Gnogglebolt:Gnoggleblt steps outside the door, and starts calling out for any guards that might be nearby

Liatai:Can he lift 85 pounds over his head?

TMG:alex; no, that's his score, not his bonus

Barbarus:Yep.

Liatai:Then automatic success.

VAE:oh, and gnogglebolt should at least attempt to explain the wolf stuff since *he* begins to sound like Trofim. See, unlike goblins which are sapient, a wolf doesn't need to be *tricked* to shred someone.. it's his nature

Faerie:I'm just making a joke. :x

Barbarus:Woo. :D

TMG:now who's doing something that should be done IC? :B

VAE:oh, but you started it back then

Attentive Guard:Two guards approach on the double, one dragging the half-elven man along.

VAE:when Miron objected to first-aiding the dire wolf - it was stated differently but he used essentially the same argument

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddenly blinks "Oh! It's you! How did you get them to bring you here?"

Sszeyl:"Oy, butcher. You want this one two?"

VAE:(he doesn't know about the goblins precisely)

Barbarus:"Sure, just bring it over. :o"

Overzealous Guard:"I didn't give him a chance," the guard growls.

Attentive Guard:"What's the matter, citizen?"

Gnogglebolt:"That half-elf, he's telling the truth."

Miron :Is he?


 * Sszeyl picks up the dead wolf, and brings it to the catfolk.

Miron :He definitely doesn't look like a truth-teller

Gnogglebolt:"there are two blackwolves in here, dead, as well as a dire wolf that is unconcious, but alive. I kept the dire wolf alive because you said something about it being tricked, half-elf."

Half-Elven Druid:"I told you! I even vowed on my word as a --" The druid suddenly blanches when he sees the bloody interior of the house. "-- What did you DO?!"

Miron :But yes, it seems that wolves have indeed attacked this place

Gnogglebolt:"And there was apparenly a woman here who was leading them."

Miron :What did *WE* DO?

Thomas Lazarus:With everyone in good health, Tom only just now looks around and seems to be registering the discussion. He seems a little lost. He simply dismisses it and walks outside.

Sszeyl:GM? Move Ravenous Fiend Wolf over here please?


 * Ezekiel Chirehan walks over and hands the goblin elder a potion, speaking in the Goblin tongue.

Gnogglebolt:"All just as you said, sir half-elf."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at te guard. "Just what did he do wrong, anyway?"

Miron :Someone has called the wolves in here that almost killed the man inside, and several others.

Sszeyl:"Now, I believe you have both furs and meat. >> Perhaps you could do some of that teaching, hmm?"

Barbarus:"...>:[ Fine."

Miron :What did *we* do amounts to preventing any harm

Overzealous Guard:"... I thought he was the one calling the dire wolf into town... and I'm still not so certain he wasn't the one to do it, judging by his reaction." She scowls.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks back. "Easy, brother. No need to agrrivate them."

Thomas Lazarus:"The largest one yet lives.. although it nearly took our lives for the trouble of being gentle." He frowns and glances back. "The small ones.. they're not natural, are they?"

Miron :I wouldn't bet on it either

Miron :A man who had nothing to do with it wouldn't be more concerned for the wellbeing of wolves than of the people who were almost killed by them

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks back to the guards and the half-elf. "Well, everything happened just as he said. There was a woman here who was leading them, not him."

Barbarus:"Hey, you, Elder."

Half-Elven Druid:"... No, the smaller ones look to be corrupted... That's what I meant. It would take a fallen Sister to even think of using such perversions of nature alongside a natural one..."

VAE:ooh, a blighter

Gnogglebolt:"In fact, if it weren't for him [passing by shouting these things, we might have been too late to prevent the deaths of Castleton citizens."

Old Shukek:"Hrm?" The elder casts a discerning eye over the catfolk and his many, many bone accessories.

Gnogglebolt:"This half-elf should be rewarded."

Barbarus:"Your friends here asked me to help your tribe out, with teaching how to butcher animals, and tan hides. Does this sound agreeable?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt turns back. "Okay, let's drag the bodies out here for inspection."


 * Ezekiel Chirehan looks out of the house. "I can vouch for the truth of the half-elf's words, if needed, noble guardsmen."

Ghostwish:afk, gotta start some coals


 * Thomas Lazarus pats Gnogglebolt's shoulder.

Miron :I don't know... unless he tells us where to find the "sister" he speaks of, and his words are proven beyond doubt, he still sounds suspicious.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at Barabrus and Sszeyl. "The wolves have to be inspected, first, though I'm sure they'll let you have the corpses."

Thomas Lazarus:"Friend, I agree that the law should be straightened out, and this man's harassment should be undone... but is there not a witch still running amok in this city?"

Miron :After all it could have been just a distraction.

TMG:(Okay, gotta step OOC here0

TMG:(sense motive is for a HUNCH)

Barbarus:"Venezuela."

Venezuela:Snort.

TMG:(by now, if Miron is any kind of sane, he knows his hunch was wrong.)

TMG:(stop playing him like he's insane, danman)

Old Shukek:"... Hrmm. Not so sure how good the butchering ability would be of somebody who looks like something a worg would chase. You spoken to the tribe leader yet, cat?"

VAE:indeed... but it was a critical failure

TMG:Not critical, just automatic.

VAE:it isn't insanity by the way

TMG:Hanging onto an erroneous beliefe int h face of -evidence- is insantiy

TMG:Or at least paranoia

VAE:a plot where someone sets up something, alerts the guards and then something else happens elsewhere.. .not the least common

Barbarus:"They have yet to tell me whom that is. Been very finiky with handing out information about you lot."

Overzealous Guard:"... Hrm."

Attentive Guard:"Let the druid go, Mira."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up to Thomas. "Indeed."

VAE:for all he knows, his acquaintances could be just robbing a shop or whatever on the other end of the city, safe in knowing that noone shall be there

Gnogglebolt:He looks to the guards. "The real criminal here is loose in the city."

Dr. Hatari:Haha, reminds me of old times.

VAE:besides, he's just mentioning that he should be kept until the whole affair is sorted out


 * Half-Elven Druid, as soon as his wrists are freed, makes a beeline for the dire wolf.

Dr. Hatari:Try to just diplomacy him out of it, if it's a sense motive that caused the fuss? (:3

VAE:correct

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt steps to the half-elf's side. "So, I'm thinking you can fill in any more blanks."

Dr. Hatari:I normally wouldn't suggest that, but it's an apples-to-apples approach.

Gnogglebolt:"Who is this woman, and how was this wolf tricked, and what's the deal with those two?"

VAE:heh, but yes, it'd work

Half-Elven Druid:"-- no, no -- did he bite anyone? Any humanoids? What happened here, I need to know if I can salvage this --"

Dr. Hatari:Tom has -1 diplomacy. :D

VAE:XDGnogglebolt:"Did who bite who?"

Meany:Two corpses are out, ready to be inspected.

Miron :He almost bit my hand off, if you mean that

Miron :And he nearly killed the drow over there, but that was his fault, mostly

Half-Elven Druid:"Humanoids, I need to know if she -- right. Your answers first. You did just save me from jail, after all." The druid chuckles nervously.

Sszeyl:"He didn't bite anyone aside from the old worg here."

Sszeyl:"That I know of. :B"

VAE:... he almost gored Sszeyl...

Barbarus:"So, if you're not the leader, who is?"

TMG:I'm not sure who we're talking about here. :B

Meany:It's called lying.

TMG:That's what Gnogglebolt is asking half-elf

VAE:and after this, someone says me my character is insane... the Dire Wolf we are

Thomas Lazarus:"He tore out my throat.." Tom mentions a bit sheepishly. For a fellow in full combat gear, he sounds modest.


 * Thomas Lazarus also gives Sszeyl a curious look. "..."

Miron :True.. if it wasn't for me and some others, Thomas would have been dead

Half-Elven Druid:"The woman was... as far as I could tell, a fallen member of Us. Druids. And no dire wolf would willingly help someone who would willingly use such -- such -- unnatural creatures to do her bidding... so I would assume a charm was weaved over this poor creature."

Ghostwish:back

Gnogglebolt:"Half-elf, talk to me. Who are you talking about? Who's biting is the problem here? You said something about changing and man-eaters, and Ezekiel said the same thing."

Half-Elven Druid:"... that's not good news." The druid runs a hand through the bloody wolf fur. "An animal trained to see humanoids as food is rarely welcomed..."

Miron :Really? Wolves kill livestock and often attack people in the wilds... I grant you that one in the middle of a city is highly unusual sight, but those beasts don't need much prompting to kill

Tathi:"He also mentioned lycanthropes, Gnogglebolt. I think it could be apparent who we are dealing with here."

Half-Elven Druid:"Calm yourselves, everyone. I can answer some of your questions, but not all at once."

Gnogglebolt:"So...there's nothing wrong with anyone who was bitten by this wolf?" Gnogglebolt points to the dire wolf.


 * Thomas Lazarus leans over Miron and shushes him with a sympathetic tone. "Brother, these are folks of the wild, afterall. You're coming off rude."

Half-Elven Druid:"I don't know who Ezekiel is --"

Ezekiel Chirehan:"Ah... that would be me, shaman."

Barbarus:"Elder? You falling asleep on me?"

Half-Elven Druid:"... very well... but I was referring to the fact that a predator trained to see humanoids as food is often difficult to retrain into not seeing them as prey. I can try, but I can't guarantee success. As far as lycanthropes go, you would need to ask your friend there."

Dr. Hatari:This is all Elros' fault. Look at what your random urban encounter has wrought! X3

Old Shukek:"-- Bah. Far from it. Just making sure Grizzlemaw is okay, cat." The goblin is letting the worg lap up the potion Ezekiel gave him.

Old Shukek:"That would be Grapmak. Talk to the gnome to find out about him."

Barbarus:"...Which one? :B"

Sszeyl:"The smarmy looking one."

Barbarus:"Oh, him."

Old Shukek:"... THE gnome." The elder nods in Gnogglebolt's direction.

TMG:(okay, to avoid asking it for a -third- time IC,)

Ghostwish:brb, checkin fire

Dr. Hatari:There are two gnomes now :o

TMG:(is there or is there not a problem with anyone bitten by the dire wolf or the fiendish wolves?)

Barbarus:"Excuse me, pardon me, need to get through."'

TMG:(Was he referring to the woman biting someone?"

Ezekiel Chirehan:"Lycanthropy... well, when a wolf appears and seems to understand Common, it would set any native of Castleton on edge."

Ezekiel Chirehan:"There should be nothing wrong with anyone bitten by these wolves... since they didn't change into a humanoid form upon death."

Ghostwish:coals be ignited. :>

Barbarus:"Guards? If you could inspect these wolves, please? I would like to know if I could make products to sell from them."


 * Thomas Lazarus considers something, and approaches Elros.

Liatai:Dangit, WAIT for me. XD The answer was coming!

Tathi:"I wouldn't recommend that, catfolk.."

Tathi:"Those wolves have a fiendish taint in them.. any products made from them shall bear boons only to fiends."

Thomas Lazarus:"Friend Elros. While I'm a little embarassed by my performance in that fight, I still think it would be worthwhile for you to take this."

VAE:catfolk? that's the collective noun


 * Thomas Lazarus offers the half-elf a platinum ring.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt breaths a sigh of relief at Ezekiel's words. "Alright then, everyone's safe."

VAE:it's like calling someone "hey, people!'

Liatai:Singular and plural.

Ghostwish:Yah. Say catperson and a horse will kick you.

VAE:Ahahaha

Ezekiel Chirehan:"Thank Pelor for that," the human agrees.

Barbarus:"Well. That wasn't unclear in the least."

VAE:my family only has two asses (the four-legged i mean)

Gnogglebolt:"Alright, so...you will take this wolf back to the forest, half-elf?" Gnogglebolt asks the druid. "And what is your name, anyway?)

Elros:Elros takes the ring in the palm of his hand, looking first to it, then to Lazarus. "Thank you. But if I may inquire, what is this for?"

Attentive Guard:"She's right; those things stink of demonic energy. You can try, but don't expect to find much of a market for products made from fiendish wolf skins."


 * Miron mumbles To the forest so that it can gore someone else in the near future....

Barbarus:"...Hmm."

Barbarus:"Perhaps Denny could cleanse them >>"

Kethanis Whitebranch:"Kethanis Whitebranch. I belong to the sect that centers around Kimoshalex's Basin... Drakesbow Lake to most."

Thomas Lazarus:"It's part of a powerful blessing of warding. If you wear that and we get into another battle this terrible, I'll be able to cast a powerful protective spell over you. I noticed your blades and light armor."

Tathi:"By cleanse, you mean destroy. There is no way of purifying them."

Thomas Lazarus:"..I'd certainly like to take every step to avoid that last situation, if we're going to be doing this, ah.. 'professionally'. Heh."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods "Well, thank you, Kethanis Whitebranch. However, after you have relocated this wolf back to the forest, might you return to help ups take care of your former comrade?"

Kethanis Whitebranch:"And I'll try... perhaps with a bit of the same trick the Fallen used. Former comrade?"

Gnogglebolt:"I'm sure your knowledge about her will be invaluable...ah...didn't you say she used to be part of your order?"

Kethanis Whitebranch:"... Ah, you mean the Fallen. I see. I'm afraid I don't know much about her personally, but I can ask local members of Us about her."

Elros:Elros nods, and slips it onto his ring finger on his right hand. "I shall keep it safe, so that you may do the same for me. Thank you."

Sszeyl:"I find it refreshing to meet an elfkin who doesn't insist on trying to kill me at first sight. >>"

Kethanis Whitebranch:"Is there a place you recieve mail, or a place where it would be likely to see your group again?"


 * Thomas Lazarus pats Elros' shoulder once. "Hopefully, it won't be necessary."

Sszeyl:Flat looks at Elros. And Tathi.

Thomas Lazarus:"And you!" He walks over to Sszeyl.

Gnogglebolt:"Indeed." Gnogglebolt gives Kethanis several addresses, being the inn Gnogglebolt is staying at, the Bronze Boot, and the courthouse


 * Kethanis Whitebranch spares a look at the drow. "The natural world is more important than petty racial disputes, drow."

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas produces a second platinum ring and offers it to the Draw with a weary smile. "I turned my gaze away for a split-second, and got your blood over half my face. You really should be more careful."

Dr. Hatari:*Drow, oi

Kethanis Whitebranch:"... That's... quite a lot of them." ^^;; "Is there one you use as a main address?"

Gnogglebolt:"Just the inn I am staying at, then."


 * Sszeyl picks the ring up. "Ancient wisdom. The only way to temper a fool's wisdom is in doing, failing, and doing again."


 * Thomas Lazarus seems surprised.

Thomas Lazarus:"I see.. I had not considered that."

Thomas Lazarus:"... But still!" He snits.

Kethanis Whitebranch:"Very well... ah, could everyone take a good two steps back away from the wolf? I'm going to take her to the forest now."

Gnogglebolt:With most things taken care of, Gnogglebolt steps outside to the guards.

Miron :*steps next to Thomas, and frowns*

Kethanis Whitebranch:"I don't know what she'll do upon waking, so please, step back."


 * Thomas Lazarus dusts his gauntlets off and sighs. Everything finally seems fixed up.


 * Sszeyl slides the ring onto his finger.

Gnogglebolt:To the Attentive one, "This was a particularly awful circumstance, because the people in this dwelling are much my responsibility. I can't risk this happening again. What will it take to have around-the-clock guards on this house, at least for awhile?"


 * Ezekiel Chirehan and the two worg riders quickly step over to get between the wolf and the non-combatant goblins.


 * Thomas Lazarus glances sidelong to Miron and smiles meekly. "Sorry. I only have three - and it won't work if I don't wear the third. The close-quarters lunatics of our group seemed to take priority."

Miron :Come Thimas?

Miron :Come Thomas!

Thomas Lazarus:"Ah, right." He follows after, totally lost in what's going on. X3

Sszeyl:"Need an extra set of hands over here?"

Attentive Guard:"... Odd, to see a gnome care so much about goblins. Send a message to the guard's tower -- " she gives an address "-- and we'll see what we can do."

VAE:hahah! way to misinterpret it! .. hillarious

Dr. Hatari:Thomas is a gigantic ditz.

VAE:i notice

Gnogglebolt:"Talk to the captain of the courthouse. He'll tell you the story."

Miron :Not the rings i am concerned about.. i can live on my own quite successfully...

Thomas Lazarus:"I'm glad. I have a feeling this company will test my abilities."

Kethanis Whitebranch:The druid's hands glow with a soft white light for a moment, then he touche's the wolf's head, speaking calmly in a language no one present knows. The wolf muzzily raises its head.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt puts his hand on his crossbow.

Barbarus:"I'm going hunting after I hand these two over to Denny. Who wants to come with? :D"

Miron :You aren't the only one concerned with that

Kethanis Whitebranch:The druid continues to speak calmly, stroking the beast's head-fur. It seems as docile as a domestic dog; there is no sign of the hostility it displayed earlier.

Gnogglebolt:"You'll notice I'm not being paranoid about it brother, just appropriately cautious."

Gnogglebolt:He waves a hand. "There. See?"

Kethanis Whitebranch:"... If you could all kindly step away from the door? The spell doesn't last as long as one would hope."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt complies immediately


 * Thomas Lazarus unconsciously finds his hand rubbing at his throat again. That giant puppy face... it can be deceptive.

Miron :It isn't hostile now.. .but spells can subdue beasts worse than this one...

Kethanis Whitebranch:"Good day, adventurers... may your day be less exciting after this."


 * Thomas Lazarus waves.

Gnogglebolt:"Indeed."

Thomas Lazarus:"I suppose that could have gone a lot worse. I'm glad I met you lot when I did."

Barbarus:"No takers?"

Attentive Guard:"... Now, do you want to tell me why you were holding a druid hostage, Mira?" The guard glares at the other guard.

Thomas Lazarus:"Hm?"


 * Overzealous Guard shuffles. >.>

Gnogglebolt:"Oh yes, indeed..." Gnogglebolt says to Thomas.

Barbarus:"No one wants to gon a jolly hunt? :D"

Thomas Lazarus:"Takers on what, Mr. ... uhm, butcher?"

Ghostwish:back!


 * Thomas Lazarus waves off the offer with a 'no thanks' gesture.

Ghostwish:Ribs goin' on for the first five. :>

Barbarus:"I know a cave where sleeps a smallish black bear."

Gnogglebolt:"Well, that does cinch it. You've proven yourself. You can stick with us as long as you like."

Ezekiel Chirehan:"... I believe we're safe now, drow... Thank you for your help." The man pauses, as if trying to remember something, then bows to the drow.

Miron :The suspicion seems to have somewhat cleared.. but back then there was every reason to think the druid was up to something... the guard over there was merely doing his duty

Miron :I would have apprehended him myself, were i in his place.

Thomas Lazarus:"I probably would not have offered if I knew the initiation was going to be that bloody... but we are where we stand." He smirks.

Overzealous Guard:The guard huffs. "I know the armor isn't flattering, but HER!"

Thomas Lazarus:"And Miron?"

Attentive Guard:"It keeps us safe, Mira. What would you rather? A chainmail bikini?"

Tathi:"I would suggest investing in a large amount of armor for everyone.."

Dr. Hatari::DVAE:Pffft...

Gnogglebolt:"Of course, Miron too. Although he's unusually impersonable for one of my kind."

Miron :Sorry, madam... the armour doesn't make it obvious.. and i can't really see your face from this angle... *shamed somewhat*


 * Thomas Lazarus whispers conspiratorially to Gnogglebolt, "Oh, that's just the Cuthbert in him."

Overzealous Guard:"Hmph."

Thomas Lazarus:"They're all like that."

Miron :I will indeed keep with Thomas, and you, brother.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt shugs. "Ah."

Miron :Impersonable... one learns to be wary over time... fifty years or so ago i'd have been less cautious myself perhaps

Ezekiel Chirehan:"... Drow? ..." The human mutters to himself; "... blast, if only I knew his name."

Gnogglebolt:"Well then, just let me do the talking, brother. " Gnogglebolt grins.


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Barbarus. "On second thought, maybe I should go with you.. but another day. Lord Pelor is generous, but I can only resew so many gaping thoracic cavities in a day. Bears are... hoo."

Ghostwish:brb, turnin' meat

Ezekiel Chirehan:"... Was it not a bow? I'm afraid I don't know much about drow gestures and signs of appreciation."

Ghostwish:back!

Miron :*thinks for a moment* Perhaps it might be for the best until i learn of this place... but now, you have a lot of talking to do, brother

Gnogglebolt:"Ah, yes. The situation with the goblins. Well..."

Miron :For one, who are the "redmaws" the man was talking about

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then launches into detailed exposition of -everything- that's happened since he first met the others, which probably put everyone to sleep -except- the other gnome :B

Overzealous Guard:ZZZZZ.

Sszeyl:"Sszeyl."

Ghostwish:But an ambush interrupts.

Miron :*nods, asks questions, the usual stuff*

Sszeyl:"And a bow is the proper response."

Sszeyl:"I've been reviewing Drow law."

Gnogglebolt:*clarifies everything*

Sszeyl:"Seeing wether or not bowing back to a non-drow is acceptable."


 * Sszeyl bows.

VAE:meta-discussion FTW!

Thomas Lazarus:"Why don't we return to the tavern and finish this discussion? I'm looking forward to finishing off that wine. It's expensive, afterall."

Ezekiel Chirehan:"-- Ah, that is a relief to hear, at least. I was concerned that I might have offe -- ah." The man blinks.

Miron :Indeed.. and i am growing thirsty too

Miron :Though, this man and the goblins should follow - who knows if there's another attack?

Gnogglebolt:"Ah, yes. I do believe I have some spiced chicken left on a plate back at the Bronze Boot. Shall we go?"


 * Thomas Lazarus blanches. "In.. in the tavern?"

Ezekiel Chirehan:"In any case, I believe we are safe here for the moment... I should find where those red shirts went off to... Won't your companions worry?"

Miron :after all, if they haven't fled until now, they probably won't do so even outside

Tathi:Tathi smirks.. "I nearly forgot about my tea.."

Gnogglebolt:Before leaving though, Gnogglebolt double-checks with the attentive guard about the specific watch around the house

Miron :and my ale... does anyone know any reasonable-priced foods in the tavern?

TMG:Oh, shoot!

Sszeyl:"They worry about me regardless. The fighting until I drop thing."

Faerie:Hm?

Gnogglebolt:He goes back inside to talk to the goblins.

Gnogglebolt:He speaks to them in their tongue, as usual.

Ghostwish:brb, turning meat


 * Thomas Lazarus hears Sszeyl's remark and worries a bit. Oh no, shield other on a berserker. He'll drag me down with him. :o

Gnogglebolt says in Goblin: "Ah...are you all okay? I know, that experience must have been awful. You probably don't trust staying here anymore., huh?"


 * Ezekiel Chirehan chuckles somewhat nervously. "Yes, well, sometimes, there is no other option..."


 * Old Shukek replies, looking incredulous.

Barbarus:Has anyone responded to Barbie's offer?

Ghostwish:back

Dr. Hatari:Tom commented on it.

Dr. Hatari:* Thomas Lazarus looks to Barbarus. "On second thought, maybe I should go with you.. but another day. Lord Pelor is generous, but I can only resew so many gaping thoracic cavities in a day. Bears are... hoo."

Old Shukek says in Goblin: "Are you kidding?! A fight like that stirs the blood! No one here is dead, we're all fine, and now we know this human's got a few tricks up his sleeve! And Trak -- Maglubiyet, it's about time Trak got himself proper combat stripes as a worg-rider."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt chuckels nervously, but then turns to the pregant goblin with a solemn expression.

Gnogglebolt says in Goblin: "And what about you?"

Traki says in Goblin: "... What about me?"

Thomas Lazarus:"Well, I'll see you all back at the boot, then."

Traki:The pregnant goblin replies.

Barbarus:"Seeya."

Gnogglebolt says in Goblin: "Same as before. Are you upset that it was so unsafe?"


 * Traki replies, stoically.

Barbarus:And low, the Barbie goes off in search of the Denny's, to have the wolves inspected. :o

Traki says in Goblin: "No matter where we go, there's battle. Upset, no."


 * Thomas Lazarus drops into his chair with an unceremonious crash and reaches for his bottle. He pours himself another glass, still battered and blood-sprayed.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt lets out a breath and rubs the back of his neck. Not exactly the attitude he was expecting, but okay. He says something else.

Sstheric:A lizardfolk man peeks his head out of the kitchen, then chuckles when he sees the bloody templar. "Good fight?"

Miron :Miron takes up the seat besides him, his short legs hanging from the chair

Gnogglebolt says in Goblin: "Well..I have requisitioned for city guards to be posted outside of this dwelling at all times from now on, for awhile at least."


 * Thomas Lazarus grimaces and gestures vaguely in the air. He responds with another drink.

Ghostwish:brb, puttin' some mroe glaze on dah ribs!

Miron :Good for those who have survived...

Gnogglebolt says in Goblin: 'They will protect you. It is literally their job."

Sszeyl:"Tathi. :o"

Sstheric:The lizardfolk laughs, returning to making more of the famous Bronze Boot stew.


 * Old Shukek nods.

Miron :Some were close not to... now... i'd appreciate some ale and something to eat

Hatted Halfling Barmaid:"Roger dodger!"

Gnogglebolt:"Farewell." Gnogglebolt says to the goblins, and head back to the bronze boot.

Thomas Lazarus:After downing his drink, Thomas atleast makes a point of wiping his face a bit using his mantle. "So, Elros."

Gnogglebolt:*vworp*

Thomas Lazarus:"What has you throwing in with this life-or-death line of heroism?"

Ghostwish:back~!

VAE:pfft

Thomas Lazarus:"You looked like you knew what you were doing. Atleast ... your stance suggested it. I was, ah, distracted during your work."

Tathi:Tathi was there the entire time. 4srs.

Sszeyl:">>"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt settles down with his leftover chicken. "Not horrible as our first task as the Vigilant, eh?"

Gnogglebolt:"Wasn't great, it was very close, but it could have been a lot worse."

Sszeyl:"I have something of yours, one minute while I go fetch it."


 * Thomas Lazarus whines, "It was really horrible."

Miron :It ended well indeed... though ssomething with a less throats ripped would be appreciated

Elros:"The majority of us are still alive. I'd say that counts."

Ezekiel Chirehan:"Something of... whose?"

Tathi:Tathi sips her tea. "I don't think I've ever heard of an adventuring company that immediately blasts into glory. From what the tomes tell, they all start out tromping around in sewers killing pests."


 * Sszeyl ninjas off to fetch the nine thousand coppers, and brings it back.

Miron :Don't say it's his ear, drow...

Miron :that joke's old

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt lets out a laugh. But it's not a hearty, lighthearted laugh, but a harsh one.


 * Old Shukek stares... then starts to laugh loudly. "Hah! Didn't think you'd remember, darkling!"

Gnogglebolt:"Glory?"

Gnogglebolt:"My dear elf, I, for one, am not in this for glory"

VAE:grah, i thought he returned into tavern too


 * Ezekiel Chirehan nods. "This will be very helpful. Thank you, Sszeyl."

Gnogglebolt:"I'm just doing what's right, as far as I can tell."

Sszeyl:"You're welcome."

TMG:9000 cp = 90 gp

TMG:Gnogglebolt already gave them at least 200 >.> but okay :U

Liatai:That's a lot of loaves of bread. :B

Miron :Glory or not... there are things that need to be done

TMG:290, almost 300. So yeah, it's good. x3

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt gestures to Miron. "Exactly!"

Tathi:Tathi looks over the top of her tea glass. "Then whatever could you be complaining about? You saved goblins, and vanquished fiends. Or did no one inform you that being Death's dancing partner is part of an adventurer's resume? I sincerely hope you don't think adventuring is all nicks and bruises."

Tathi:"Lacking glory, that adventure was spot on."

Gnogglebolt:"No, I don't think adventuring is all nicks and brusies."

Ghostwish:darnit, brb again, getting the meat and eating supper.

Gnogglebolt:He grins.

Miron :One can avert much of this by proper planning

Gnogglebolt:"I think it's all nicks and bruises so someone else doesn't have to."

Miron :For one, even i didn't employ wise tactics this time.. nevermind what the drow did

Ezekiel Chirehan:"... now... I believe your companions have gone back to the Bronze Boot. I myself might go there soon... a stiff drink might do me good after that." The human chuckles, starting to come down from an adrenaline high.


 * Thomas Lazarus nods after a moment's consideration. "I guess glory wouldn't be so bad. But that's for warrior-champions and fables, isn't it? Just.. to have spent a lot of time trying to help the gutterfolk, and watching 'glorious' adventurers hobble into town with bizarre wounds from things I didn't believe could be real."

Miron :he put himself, and what's far worse, Thomas into needlesss danger

Thomas Lazarus:"It feels like something that really needs to be done."

Sszeyl:afk

Old Shukek:"Bah, human drinks are all weak. What you need is a good dose of thudrud."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to Miron. "Indeed, needless danger is something to be avoided when possible."

Thomas Lazarus:"Now that we've spent a fight together, perhaps we can use tactics next time. I didn't expect to see other magicians."

Miron :True.. there seem to be a few skilled in the arcane arts

Miron :And from what the gnome told me ,there used to have been yet another cleric with them, although a rather mad one

Ghostwish:back, nom nom


 * Thomas Lazarus looks into his glass thoughtfully. Some front-line defender he was just then. He says nothing.

Tathi:"Sorry about that Thomas, next time I'll come in full plate with a battle axe to make my role a little more clear." She says, and winks. "But, on the hand of tactics, I am an evocationist. To put it in layman's terms and to spare everyone the delightfully yet hideiously complex nuances of my art, you point, I make it go boom."


 * Thomas Lazarus nods. "That part became pretty clear."

Miron :*smiles* A concise way of putting it, miss

Tathi:"Beyond that, I tend to be a bit of a bookworm. I have knowledge in a number of different areas, and have picked up some diviniation on the side."

Sszeyl:Back.

Sszeyl:"Is there anything else we need to discuss?"

Tathi:"Let's go around the table, shall we?" She says, and looks to Gnogglebolt. "What of you, first gnome? I see you tend to be a bit more logistical than combative."

Thomas Lazarus:"I see.. the only magic I've beheld has been the work of my brothers and sisters at the temple. None of it quite so spectacular as all that fire and.. and energy-thingies."

Tathi:"I disagree. While I can hurl the elements around as if they were my playthings, I can't do a darn thing about a cut or a broken bone. Also, divine wrath is a fairly potent weapon, last I checked."

Miron :True.. but then, our sort of magic tends to get things done too... especially if done well

Gnogglebolt:"Losgistical? Indeed. And what do you want to know of me?"

Gnogglebolt:*logistical


 * Thomas Lazarus looks to Sszeyl. "We were just discussing, ah, tactical applications for the future. Eheh."

Tathi:She looks to Gnogglebolt again. "I don't. That is precisely why I am asking. I have seen you use a crossbow, and a morningstar, if I recall correctly. Or perhaps that was someone else?"

Miron :Which.. i didn't really excell in today, so to say.. after all, the lore of wild beasts isn't my speciality

Gnogglebolt:"Ah! Well..."

Liatai:Here goes the gnome. x3

Gnogglebolt:"Honestly, I'm not really a fighter, at all. Of any stripe."

Gnogglebolt:"But what I can do is build. No magic, just my hands."

Gnogglebolt:"I can build all kinds of things, limited only by my creativity.

Thomas Lazarus:"Oh? Like a bowyer?"

Gnogglebolt:"...but it takes time."

TMG:*dictionary time >.> *

Dr. Hatari:Oh, er, someone who makes bows. :P

Elros:"Yes, you really don't want to rush him."

Tathi:"Actually, I think the term is tinkerer. They are the master of trades, or so the rumors go."

Miron :Engineering it's called... i remember many of such in the old city of Kemmer when i was a kid myself

Elros:"I've seen what happens when you rush him. I seem to recall snow catching fire."

TMG:Erp!

TMG:Danman

TMG:Kemmer did not have tinkers

TMG:they're only in Mazio

VAE:it probably had a few such


 * Thomas Lazarus is equal parts baffled and impressed. :o

TMG:(unless Liatai changed this without telling me)

Liatai:They did have arcane maesters who made golems and such, though.

VAE:indeed

TMG:Nope, no tinkers at all...ah, there we go

Tathi:"And Elros? You are a swordsman, as near as I can tell. You might end up being our point man." She says, and glances over at the drow. ".. as someone else does not fit that billet very well at all."

VAE:but then, he probably has a poor idea what a tinker is

VAE:in fact i bet that based on the description he'd consider you just one of the above

Ghostwish:he did say no magic. :P

Gnogglebolt:"Anyway...I was actually planning to get around to making something this week."

VAE:did he? ... *facepaws*

Gnogglebolt:"Something with a bit of.... bang to it."

Thomas Lazarus:"..Anything limited to your imagination.. that can set snow aflame? Gracious. What did you have in mind?"

VAE:something to do with the fact it's almost 2AM.... Ah well, do i fail today.. well, i fail anyday so to say

GM:Awareness checks?

Meany:Lucid.

Ghostwish:getting a bit tired.. got a full belly here.

TMG:Awake and alert!

Dr. Hatari:It's still pretty-early-o'-clock for me.

Miron :Though... the old masters back there did use some magic...

TMG:only 5:30 PM for me. ^^

Faerie:Hungry, homework, but it's only 8:30PM and I'm awake.

Faerie:OrFaerie:awareness « 1d20 = 1 »

Ghostwish:*punches Elros in the face so he'll respond*

Faerie:...

TMG:Oh geeze xD

GM:.... PFFT. XD

Dr. Hatari:lulz

Ghostwish:wah.. wah... waaaaaaaaaaaaah.


 * Faerie crit-failed his awareness check. Is asleep, apparently.


 * Liatai nearly snorted tea out of her nose. Ow. XD

VAE:lol

Dr. Hatari:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-GaXa8tSBE

VAE:TEA!

VAE:that's why i am stupid!

Dr. Hatari:Saved for just such an occasion.

Gnogglebolt:"Er...I'm sure I have no idea what Elros is talking about with the...flaming snow."

VAE:i had no tea today!

Gnogglebolt:"Anyway."

Miron :Say, friend.. does your art include making golems?

Gnogglebolt:"More like, if you want a device that can translate a language, I can do it. If you want an automatic battering ram, I can do it. If you want something to fly or travel five times faster than any horse, I can do it."

Elros:"Regardless of flaming snow, yes, I am a swordsman. My fater was an elven ranger, and I learned my craft from him."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Miron. "It does not, actually. Only automatons. They are similar to golems, but work without magic."

Gnogglebolt:He grins. "Marvalous and unbelievable, isn't it?"

Miron :I see.. .so it is something different to our masters after all...

Tathi:"Ah.. and so, our second gnome? I saw a bit of healing back there. What do you do Moron?"

Ghostwish:sweet motherfucker

Ghostwish:MIRON

Ghostwish:MIRON

Ghostwish:goddamnit XD

Liatai:... was that on purpose -- XD XD XD

Dr. Hatari:Hahaha

Miron :it seems that in Mazio you have picked quite the different ways.. *ack*

Miron :Moron?

Ghostwish:NODr. Hatari:You are just off the ball with names today, Ghost.

Liatai:GODS DANGIT.

Ghostwish:That was the player's idioicy. XD

TMG:BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


 * VAE snorts

Ghostwish:Tathi clearly said Miron while choking on tea. XD

Liatai:XD XD XD

TMG:Thaat literwslly got me laughing out loud. What a thing to tab back to! XD

Miron :*looks rather irritated*

Liatai:That's going on the Quotes page. XD

Thomas Lazarus:"A ranger, you say? Does that mean you've been taught to track folks down, too?"

Ghostwish:I repeat, she did NOT say Moron. XD

Dr. Hatari:lololol

Ghostwish:AND FOR PICKLE'S SAKE, THE I IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE O, GIMMIE A BREAK XD

Liatai:XDGhostwish:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-GaXa8tSBE indeed

Miron :I shall pass this by this time... you have after all been quite helpful... but there are *other* morons about ourselves who you choose not to notice...

TMG:Just treat everyone else's response as non-canon, ghost :P

Tathi:"You mean *other* mirons right, moron?"

Liatai:... tempted to call a Listen check to see if -- PFFFT

Ghostwish:as are mine. :P

TMG:...nevermind. :B

Ghostwish:HEY. That is all non-canon. XD

Elros:"Indeed, I have. I can't say I've had the opportunity to practice much recently, so I might be rusty, but I have been so taught."

Liatai:Hoo... haha...

Ghostwish:When ghost fails this hard, REALITY BREAKS.

Miron :In any ways... i have some training as an alchemist from my early days.. but mostly, i work with the Leaden Mace Society ... i am trained as an Archivist

Gnogglebolt:"Anyway...Ezekial said that the Fallen woman was after the redmaws."

Thomas Lazarus:"Now, now... ^^;"

Liatai:.. ow.. .stomach hurts from laughing... XD

Gnogglebolt:"I know who I'm going to talk to today for more information about that."

Miron :I can cast any divine spell i have the time to write down and study

Thomas Lazarus:"An archivist? I had not expected to see a brother scribe in a company like this.. but, I suppose that isn't *so* different from what Tathi does."

Tathi:"An archivist? You mean.. a librarian?"

Miron :though, unlike those like Thomas here, i don't hold quite as much power over the living dead, save from the knowledge i have gained about those matters

Thomas Lazarus:"If I can ever lend you a hand, don't be afraid to ask, Miron."

Ghostwish:*moron

Ghostwish::PGhostwish:VAE, I am so sorry, that is forever going to have over your character's name now. XD

Faerie:Mormon?

Faerie:More-man?

Dr. Hatari:Oi vey.

Ghostwish:Mole Man!

Miron :A librarian, it can be said so.... though i strive to apply the knowledge glanced from those books instead of merely keeping them safe

TMG:Motor Man!--hey, that's Gnogglebolt. :B

VAE:Loltank roflcopter

Tathi:"AH ha, a guardian then. And I think we all know Thomas to be a cleric. Anything you would like to add there, Thomas?"

Gnogglebolt:"A...'cleric'? Hmm. I'd like to talk to you later privately, Thomas." Gnogglebolt says.

Meany:Reminds me, Hatari.

Faerie:TMG: Gnogglebolt drives trains?

Meany:I was going to bring your attention to the Favoured Soul class. :o

Miron :As i have said earlier, the society makes sure outlaws and corpse-raising scum don't threaten the calm rest of the people


 * Faerie notes "motor man"=that guy in the front of a subway train who makes it go and stop. >.>

Ghostwish:I'm sure he knows about it Meany..

TMG:alex; Pretty much, yeah :>

Ghostwish:and I'm also fairly sure that me and hatari are of the same thought of clerics: they are stupendously OP when they're not getting one-shotted by dire wolves.

Sszeyl:"Ahem."

Liatai:Listen checks, folks.

Sszeyl:"Your society."

VAE:ahahaha

Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 18 + 5 = 23 » Listen check!

Thomas Lazarus:"Well.. I've trained as an acolyte in the local temple for many years, 'tis true. But with the recent troubles rising, I petitioned the holy Father for a bit more liberal training. He expanded my duties to those of a templar. But the templars of Lord Pelor are sadly little more than expensive ornaments - ahm, no disrespect intended to my brothers in arms."

Tathi:« 1d20+1+2 = 3 + 1 + 2 = 6 » listen!

Miron :« 1d20+4 = 15 + 4 = 19 »

Elros:listen « 1d20+6 = 2 + 6 = 8 »

Thomas Lazarus:« 1d20+2 = 11 + 2 = 13 »

Tathi:WHUT.

Miron :The society i belong to indeed, drow... under the vigilant glance of St. Cuthbert...

Tathi:"So that brings us to our token black guy- why are you all turning your heads?"

Gnogglebolt:Listen check: « 1d20+2 = 1 + 2 = 3 » again? o.O

Listen Success: You hear a man with a wolf walking at his heels enter the bar and begin to ask the barmaid questions in a quiet tone... "Pardon me, madam, I was told this would be the place to find a gnome by the name of Gnogglebolt Sparkgear. Might I be correct?"

Gnogglebolt:FUGGER

Ghostwish:Gnogglebolt I said SO THAT BRINGS US TO OUR TOKEN-

Miron :Which reminds me .. you have said you are here under the mandate of the vile cult of Lolth

Miron says in Gnome: Someone is looking for you

Tathi:Tathi coughs politely.. "Actually, Miron, there's been a development there.."

Sszeyl:"Gnogglebolt. You have someone asking for you at the bar."

Miron :*mumbles in gnomish*

Thomas Lazarus:"I'm out here to put that training to a more pragmatic use. I'm used to this heavy armor and blade. If I can stand at the brunt and cover others, I would be glad to do so. Lord Pelor lends me great strength in battle. But other than my physical profile, absolutely all of my magic is defensive. It's only meant to protect or assist my comrades - you all, now."

Sszeyl:"Lolth is dead."

Sszeyl:"At least, she is in our domain."


 * Thomas Lazarus raises his brows. "...!"

Gnogglebolt:"I-what?" Gnogglebolt looks at the others, then turns his head.

Sszeyl:"There might be other lands she presides over."

Sszeyl:"But Ezzebek is no longer one of them."

Miron :So... you say that those who brought down the destruction of Kemmer have been purged from your lands?

TMG:OH NOOOOOOO D:* Sszeyl points Gnogglebolt at the man with the wolf.

Reginald Burns:A dark-haired man (don't mind the token, it lies) with a similarly dark-furred wolf looks over to the table. "Well, he seems to be occupied. I'll wait. Now, would you happen to have any blackberry wine...?"

Sszeyl:"Those that did not turn from Lolth are dead. Which is to say, ninety percent of them."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt raises an eye at the main, and says to Miron out of the corner of his mouth "Indeed, Miron. That's why I trust this drow."

Cheery Halfling Barmaid:"Er... I think we do... I'll check."

Miron :If that is true, that are excellent news indeed

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt checks his pack and everything in it, and leaves it in his chair.

Miron :What happened to the Duergar though... did they too, turn away from their dark gods of toil?

Sszeyl:"No. They continue to work."

Gnogglebolt:"Hello...sir? You are looking for Gnogglebolt Sparkgear of Mazio?"

Miron :So it is only the drow who have changed, i see... and do tell.. who rules over you?

Reginald Burns:The man looks down at the gnome and gives a charming smile. "I am. I assume you are he?"

Sszeyl:"Orgolloyss."

Miron :I haven't heard of such a deity

Sszeyl:"He is a man, and a concept. Not a god...yet."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks cautiously. "I am...what do you want?"

Ghostwish:so.. that isn't burns?

Miron :Is he yet another ascended mortal, like ... Oh, i see

Miron :What man and what concept?


 * Thomas Lazarus seems to be dividing his attention between Gnoggle's guest and Sszeyl's story now.

Reginald Burns:"No need to look so frightened, Mister Sparkgear! I was simply told that you may have something that belongs to me."

Gnogglebolt:"Ah...something that belongs to you? I don't think I've stolen anything, but if I have, then do inform me of my error..."

Reginald Burns:"You see, I checked out a book on the Halfling language from the library owned by an Elwick Silverscript in the arcane district, and believe I left a rather important paper in it by mistake. The third in the Greenwich Halfling Primers, I believe."

Sszeyl:"Orgolloyss founded an order of monks. When Lolth's clergy was distracted by the war, we took over the Drow nation, and killed all those who followed her in our lands."

Reginald Burns:And why, yes, yes it is, Tathi.

Reginald Burns:The same one you saw at the library, and the same wolf.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt blinks. He pulls out a slip of paper from his pocket, with the strange script on it CRAP I NEVER DECIPERED IT >_-

Gnogglebolt:"...You mean this?"

Tathi:"Ah, if it isn't the noble Burns." Tathi comments. "I suppose you've heard about all the trouble concerning shifters and wolves and maneaters of the late?"

Miron :A wonderful turn of events indeed... now what concept did you say?

Gnogglebolt:Sense Motive: « 1d20 = 6 »

Reginald Burns:The man leans over to look... "Ah, yes, that's the one! If I may...?" He holds out his hand expectantly.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt6 shrugs, handing it over. "Alright then."

Sszeyl:"The forced rehabilitation of the Drow natural propesnity for violence through the use of fear as a governing force."

Reginald Burns:"Thank you very much, Mister Sparkgear. Pleasure doing business."

Reginald Burns:The man pockets the paper and stands.

Gnogglebolt:"What is it, anyway? Looks like a code."

Dr. Hatari:That wolf token totally looks like it's begging for scraps.

Miron :A wise choice of the man indeed... An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

Reginald Burns:"Simple practice in writing in Gnoll, nothing more. It contained an interesting idea, however, and I would hate to lose it. Inspiration is so fleeting, isn't it?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt shrugs. "indeed."

Tathi:Tathi just stays quiet, watching.

Gnogglebolt:"...Except that wasn't Gnoll script. I know Gnoll."

Reginald Burns:"You do, do you?" The man frowns.


 * Thomas Lazarus seems impressed that Gnogglebolt knows Gnoll. :o

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddenly makes a bunch of throaty growls and snarls.

Gnogglebolt says in Gnoll: "Indeed I do."

Sszeyl:"Anything else?"


 * Wolf growls in return.

Reginald Burns:"Down, Vladimir."

Reginald Burns:The man smiles coldly and returns the growls... sounding far more canine than Gnogglebolt did.

Reginald Burns says in Gnoll: "How pleasant. If you truly wish to sound canine, however, you are quite far off."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt shrugs, continuing with the growling, with the occasioanl yip intersperced


 * Thomas Lazarus begins to look a little worried and frets. "Hey.. uh. Our Gnomish friend is growling at that man - and he's beginning to growl back! That's not a sign of healthy behavior.."

Sszeyl:"I assume not."

Meany:GM?

Liatai:Want to roll Knowledge (local), anyone at the table?

Tathi:"I believe that to be the gnoll language, actually."

Liatai:Yes, Meany?

Thomas Lazarus:"What? Really?"

Meany:Can we assume Denny got the wolves, and Barbie can come back now?

Tathi:« 1d20+4 = 9 + 4 = 13 » local!

Liatai:Yes. x3

Gnogglebolt says in Gnoll: "No, not really. As long as I've got the words right. And yes, another Gnoll commented on my accent too. So, I am of course a gnome. And I do so love a good puzzle. What was that code really about?"

Thomas Lazarus:Knowledge local (untraine int check) « 1d20-1 = 12 - 1 = 11 »

Dr. Hatari:Well, if it's DC 10 or lower, he can atleast get that. Heh.

Reginald Burns:The man growls again, expression unchanged.

Reginald Burns says in Gnoll: "Nothing you need to concern yourself with, gnome."

TMG:I can't BELIEVE i forgot to decipher the slip >_-

Sszeyl:"Hmm...."

Sszeyl:"Thomas?"

Thomas Lazarus:"Oh, yes?"

Sszeyl:"Do you have any spells that can clean away disease? "

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sighs. "Very well. Good day, then."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt returns to his seat.

Gnogglebolt:"...that was odd." Gnogglebolt says, seemingly to himself as he sits.

Thomas Lazarus:He frowns and shakes his head slightly. "I'm afraid purging any kind of serious malady requires a powerful man of the faith. It's beyond me.. but, I'm certain one of my brothers at the temple can do it."

Miron :Why do you make such a request? Is there anyone gravely ill?


 * Thomas Lazarus eyes Burns with a thoughtful frown. "..."

Reginald Burns:The man stands, then nods to the barmaid. "I'll take a rain check on that wine, madam. This is for your trouble." He flips a gold coin to the barmaid, then leaves.

Tathi:"Well gnogglebolt, ever spoken to a werewolf before?" Tathi whispers.

Sszeyl:"I know of a cave where some disease that causes necrosis was confirmed to have been. Could you put a word out to one of them to help clean it? I'd be willing to pay, but they most likely wouldn't take any offers from me directly."

Miron :We.. could do that, i suppose

Gnogglebolt:"Nope." He replies to Tathi.

Thomas Lazarus:"The most I can do is remove a disease's symptoms. It can save a life, but ..."


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs his chin. "A cave that causes necrosis.. there must be something terrible in there."

Tathi:"Yes you have.:" She says simply, shifting in her seat. "You just did,"

Gnogglebolt:"He just had gangrene, Sszeyl."

Thomas Lazarus:"It's just a layman's guess, but it sounds like what you need is not a miracle, but fire."

Liatai:(Yes, nasty things called bacteria and viruses. :B)

Sszeyl:"I am taking no chances. And besides which."

Miron :Stale air can indeed cause many conditions.. that's why we had to keep the maester's lab well aired

Sszeyl:"Something in that cave turned a bugbear zombie from fresh to a skeleton in under two days."

Thomas Lazarus:"Besides - if there is no one in that cave, why not let it lie?"


 * Thomas Lazarus blinks. "Undead?"

Sszeyl:"I intend to make my house there."

Thomas Lazarus:"Your house!? :o"

Sszeyl:"Yes, to both questions."

Gnogglebolt:"Wait...Sszeyl. I already told you, it was Morgan/Zach that did that to Granch."

Miron :Unsurprising.. drow tend to live in caves

Thomas Lazarus:"Ah... I must admit, I am not so worldly."

Miron :I assume that even though supposedly much has changed, this habit hasn't

Sszeyl:"Also, need to look into some carpenters to make doors."

Sszeyl:"Anyone have any reccomendations?"

Thomas Lazarus:"Hmmmmm.. well..." He seems to consider it strongly.

Gnogglebolt:"Doors? I can make doors for you!"

Sszeyl:O:Gnogglebolt:"Did you not hear me earleir? I can build anything you need, even mundane."

Sszeyl:"I had assumed you worked with metal, not wood."

Liatai:(Not even a blink from Gnogglebolt from being told he just talked to a werewolf? Wow. :B)

Gnogglebolt:"I can work with any material."

Gnogglebolt:"...Well, most any."

TMG:(Sorry, I was too busy beati8ng myself up over not deciphering the code first to realize that I wasn't supposed to already know he was a werewolf xD )

Sszeyl:"Well, how much to commission three doors from you?"

Thomas Lazarus:"There is a ritual to cleanse an area, permanently.. such that no evil or undeath can creep into it. I suppose that would undo whatever has befallen the area. A ritual of hallowed ground. It lasts one year, I believe. But it's terribly expensive."

Sszeyl:"...Also, do your doors include locks?"


 * Thomas Lazarus gestures sheepishly. "Mostly.. permanently."

Sszeyl:"Terribly expensive? How terribly expensive?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt chuckles. "Sszeyl, just give me the materials, and I'll do it when I have time. "

Sszeyl:"Alright."


 * Thomas Lazarus ponders again. "Well.. I think Father Zanthus cast it a few times. It's not as straining on our coffers as a ressurection. Ahm.. probably about a thousand gold, from all the dusts and rare incencse. Not as expensive as templar armor I suppose."

Gnogglebolt:"And of course I can do a lock. I can do more than a lock...I can do a full security system...automatic defences...." Gnogglebolt starts trailing off into rapid muttering.

Thomas Lazarus:"A lot of trouble to go through to live in a cave, but.. well. I shouldn't judge."

Miron :Think of it this way- one cave that criminals won't use as a hideout

Thomas Lazarus:"We would go bankrupt instantly with that kind of proactive strategy... ^_^;"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddenly snaps out. "Anyway."

Dr. Hatari:(For purely OOC reference: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/hallow.htm)

Dr. Hatari:( ... http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/hallow.htm ...)

Miron :Well, he says he's willing to pay for it...

Sszeyl:"I have one hundred and twenty-five gold with me presently."

Sszeyl:"Tell me how far north from there?"

Gnogglebolt:"As I already told Miron here, we're pretty much planning to hang around here for a wek taking care of personal things, anc checking leads on the necromancers."

Miron :.... How far do you think, drow?

Gnogglebolt:"Now we've got another side-project in this fallen druid."

Gnogglebolt:"But after all this, Elros, Sszeyl and I have a trial to attend, and when that's over, we'll be ready to leave this town."

Thomas Lazarus:"A trial?"

Miron :Yes, he told me

Gnogglebolt:"Oh yes, a trial for the goblins."

Miron :it's of those goblins they have captured

Sszeyl:"Oh, before any doors are made."

Thomas Lazarus:"Ah! I seem to recall something to that affect back at the alley."

Gnogglebolt:"A whole tribe of them in holding cells. Related to the ones at the house."


 * Thomas Lazarus mutters aside, "I was totally falling asleep."

Liatai:;3Sszeyl:"Where would I go to find who owns the property those caves rest on? Where is the...land lord, I think the word in this language is?"

Miron :Honestly.. i wonder whether anyone owns them at all

Gnogglebolt:"The goblins in the holding cells were associated with the necromancers we are now hunting, but not out of choice or even knowledge. They helped us in trying to stake out the necromancers, and also cooperated very well."

Gnogglebolt:"So, the trial is just to make sure they aren't thrown in jail."


 * Thomas Lazarus seems surprised at Sszeyl. "Friend Sszeyl, Human lords don't lay claim over caverns. Well.. I suppose they could, but only to be contrary."

Sszeyl:"...You have land that no one owns up here?"

Thomas Lazarus:"You could probably consider it 'public' until claimed otherwise."

Miron :Caves aren't generally used by humans..

Sszeyl:"Ah."

Sszeyl:"So, where would I go to purchase it?"

Miron :It's not like us or the dwarves


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs the back of his neck and seems baffled. "Well, honestly, I think it's free."

Miron :You'd probably have to ask in the city hall whether there is any claims of ownership against it

Miron :if there isn't, thomas is right.. it is free

Gnogglebolt:"Sszeyl, if the goblins were already squatting in the cave, no one owns it. Take it for you own."

Sszeyl:"...You have land up here, that no one owns."


 * Sszeyl is completely ._. at the concept.


 * Sszeyl adds this to the journal. Furiously!


 * Thomas Lazarus nods. "Yes. You might say, ah..."

Elros:"Why does land necessarially need to be owned?"

Sszeyl:"In Ezzebek, every inch of land is accounted for.

Sszeyl:"Thomas Lazarus:"...That we humans are very... secular with land?"

Thomas Lazarus:"We're picky, and usually band together."

Miron :Indeed.. a land that no-one finds useful often isn't owned

Sszeyl:"Everyone knows who owns what house, what street, what building. Everything is accounted for."

Sszeyl:"There isn't much space to go around, you understand."


 * Thomas Lazarus rubs his chin. "I suppose it's kind of like that with us. But it's just, no one really wants caverns."

Miron :A wise choice indeed.. there would be far less outlaws if their hideouts and holes weren't accessible

Elros:"Hmm. I imagine here, perhaps a cartographer could account for all lands, but not all of it is owned per se...though yes, there is much more open space here."

Sszeyl:o.o

Sszeyl:"Such...a concept."

Sszeyl:"Being able to go out...and just, start building a house."

Thomas Lazarus:"The mountains and streams and oceans - they're all free. No human man can presume to lay claim to them. Cities are different, but..."

Sszeyl:"...." He looks at Tathi.

Gnogglebolt:"Indeed, Sszeyl...there is, in fact, land that isn't even mapped. It is actually a very common human endeavor to just find land that isn't on a map and claim it."

Sszeyl:"We have promised to give you back your trees. Can you allow us to perhaps use some of the land up here?"

Ezekiel Chirehan:Some of you who are observant might notice the anthropologist from before enter and ask hesitantly if they have "thudrud."

Miron :Well,. to say the truth, the dwarves have a lot to do with the mountains

Dr. Hatari:Haha

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt's ears perk up.

VAE:lol

Gnogglebolt:He hops out of his chair and stumbles over to Ezekiel.

VAE:the anthropologist seems to have gained some habits..


 * Faerie hungers for the flesh of the living.

Liatai:o.o

Gnogglebolt:"I must warn you! It smells like the devil itself."

Faerie:Or food from the caf. That would work too.

Liatai:Go forth and eat, then! >:O

VAE:the flesh of the living wouldn't be nearly as horrid

Liatai:No gaming hungry at this table. x3

Gnogglebolt:"You may study goblins, but I don't know if you want their brews."


 * Thomas Lazarus pours out another glass of wine - the actual name of which he remains completely oblivious to - but seems to be pleased by the color and flavor.

VAE:it's from the living - it's fresh

Faerie:Heh

Meany:Did Ghost afk? :o

Thomas Lazarus:"What brought you to our world, friend Sszeyl? You sound new."

Faerie:Alright, half-mile round trip, here I com. Be back soon.

VAE:oh.. and miron didn't receive either food or drink XD

Faerie:(Not as if I've barely been here. >.>;)


 * Dr. Hatari waves.

Ezekiel Chirehan:"-- Ah, that's good to know. The elder was quite insistent, however." The human makes a bit of a face.

Miron :Hmm, the service is indeed slow here

Gnogglebolt:"If...well, if you're brave enough, go ahead. But I would never try it."

Barkeep:"Well, you're fortunate, then, friend. The chef can't stand the smell of goblin drinks."

Gnogglebolt:"...then again, I never try alcohol at all, but that's me."

Liatai:Miron's order was dropped off quite a while ago. o.o

Thomas Lazarus:"Most of it is awful. But you're missing out. This is good!"


 * Thomas Lazarus unceremoniously leans over the table and slides his glass next to Gnoggle. :3

Gnogglebolt:"Anyway...I shall be off, friends. I must go ask Grapmak if he knows about this woman who is hunting his former clan."

Meany:Firstly, seeya Fae.


 * Ezekiel Chirehan chuckles weakly. "Sometimes, to know a culture, you need to participate in its rituals, no matter how... unappealing they are to you from your own cultural standpoint. I hope the goblins won't be too offended that I couldn't find it."

Meany:Secondly, Ahem? :B

VAE:was it?

Meany:Actually.

Gnogglebolt:"I'll be back in about an hour."

Meany:It should have been in Sszeyl's cart. :O

Miron :*notices the ale and stew to have appeared in front of him in some poorly defined time*

Sszeyl:"Gnogglebolt."

Miron :Huh?

Ezekiel Chirehan:"... er, though bartender, if you would, a glass of ale wouldn't go astray."

Sszeyl:"Just remembered."

Gnogglebolt:"yes, Sszeyl?"

Miron :*Takes a mighty gulp of ale (at least for his size) and starts going through the stew*

Sszeyl:"Some jars from the caves are still in my cart. Could you tell the goblins when you see them that I'll bring them by later today?"

Gnogglebolt:"Which cave? The Redmaw den, or the Blacksword den?"

Liatai:... >.>

Sszeyl:"I honestly couldn't tell the difference. ^^;;"

Liatai:*cough don'tforgetthetreasureyouleftwiththeTorisfamily cough >.>*

Meany:Also.

Meany:Did Ghost say if he was going afk?

Liatai:Sorry, must have been the tea that went up my nose earlier~ Such a cough~ :3

Liatai:I believe he did.

Dr. Hatari:I don't recall.

Liatai:Though I'm not sure. Faerie's AFK, though.

Ghostwish:oddly enough, I was afk, sorry. >

Liatai:Shall we call a quick break to stretch and wait for people to return? -- Ah, there's a Ghost! :o

Ghostwish:Anything tathi related? What I miss?

Meany:Yep.

Meany:Sszeyl: "...." He looks at Tathi. "We have promised to give you back your trees. Can you allow us to perhaps use some of the land up here?"

Gnogglebolt:"Ah! Actually, I just remembered something else as well. "Before I go to the goblins, Elros, Sszeyl, Tathi, will you accompany me to the Toris establishment?"

Sszeyl:"Sure."

Gnogglebolt:"We still need to complete our exchange."


 * Thomas Lazarus seems a little dissapointed in Gnoggle leaving before trying the drink, but it can't be helped. He stretches across the table again to retrieve the glass. It takes a few reaches. :3

Tathi:Tathi looks.. quite surprised at the deal. "I.. cannot speak for the whole. I was but a student."

Liatai:Go-go Gadget Arm! :3

Ghostwish:DM, wood elf knowledge check. Who -would- be able to make that kind of call, if anyone?

Miron :What trees are you speaking of?

Sszeyl:"You're older than I am, and you're not involved with your government?"

Liatai:There are certain elders and community leaders, but no one unified wood elven leader.

Sszeyl:"Descendants of the trees the Drow burned during the war."


 * Thomas Lazarus sips from his wineglass again before looking to Gnogglebolt. "Oh.. are you all heading somewhere?"


 * You roll to yourself: 5400/7 => 5400 / 7 = 771.4285714285714285714285714285714

Thomas Lazarus:"Should I expect to find you here on odd days, then?"

Miron :I see

Gnogglebolt:"yes, let us meet back here tomorrow morning."

Barbarus:"Check by the Goblin's house every once in a while. They really love those people."

Liatai:Would folks like to call the session here and continue in mini-sessions, or shall we continue?

Thomas Lazarus:"So the rumors go, yes."

Tathi:Tashi gives the Sszeyl a level, unreadable look. "Are you calling me old, Sszeyl?"

Meany:I would like to continue.

VAE:call it? it's 2:45 AM and i have work to do yet

Sszeyl:"I'm eighty-six years old. How old are you?" :B

TMG:I'm good with continuing.

Gnogglebolt:"actually...If nether Sszeyl nor Elros object..."

Dr. Hatari:I'm fine. I shouldn't have worn headphones all session long, though. Gosh, need some aspirin.

Gnogglebolt:"You did really help us greatly today, Miron and Thomas."

Tathi:She smirks, and then tosses her hair in a playfully disdainful manner. "How rude." She says, and then looks back. "I am not old enough to arbitrailly(sp) order my people around."

Gnogglebolt:"We could give you a share of spoils we got before."

Sszeyl:"That is all in the tone of voice, anyway."


 * Thomas Lazarus glances to Miron and back to Gnoggle with a smile. "It was our pleasure to help people working for the public welfare."

Miron :True so... indeed

Miron :Besides, our only expense so far was the meal in this tavern

Tathi:"Not sure if I catch your meaning."

Gnogglebolt:"So, what do you say, Sszeyl? Elros (crap, alex isn't here) Do they deserve a share?"

Sszeyl:"Very well."

VAE:while they decide i MUST make tea

VAE:else i will fall asleep here

Thomas Lazarus:"A.. share? Did you have something you were waiting to divide?"

Gnogglebolt:"Alrighty! To the Toris establishment!"

Liatai:We can continue with Miron on autopilot if you'd like to drop out here, VAE. :3

Ghostwish:we really need to find a stopping point.. players are dropping. XD

Gnogglebolt:"Indeed we did, good Thomas. We just never got around to it until now."

Liatai:Right, and this is a good place to stop, too.

TMG:(so, vvworp party to the Toris shop--ah, darnit. >: )

TMG:>:Dr. Hatari:OH SHIT. Tech.

Dr. Hatari:I have a commission request.

TMG:Huh? o.O

Dr. Hatari:Make me a...

Dr. Hatari:*glasses* Tommy-gun.

TMG:....

Liatai:Wah-wah-waaaaaaaah~


 * Dr. Hatari high-fives Clint.


 * TMG shoots Hatari with it :B

Ghostwish:XDMeany:I just realized something.

Meany:So far we have only had Drow fanservice in this game.

Meany:Get on the bal, people. >:o

Meany:ball*

TMG:... Erm. o.O

Liatai:Ah, there's that sound effect I was looking for earlier for the pun. :B http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMpXAknykeg

Dr. Hatari:Interesting proposition.


 * Ghostwish slinks away.

GM:All right then, let's put the old bookmark here and continue next time! But first.

TMG:Alrighty; next session; Talking to the Toris family, investigating this drid woman and necromancer leads!

GM:Who's in favor of implementing XP scorecards?

TMG:and then -hopefully- the session after that, goblin trial :B

Faerie:Just as I return with food. x3

GM:Aack, sorry Fae. XD

TMG:Oop! Srry, alex! D:TMG:That's why I want to keep going!

TMG:We can knock out the Toris thing real quick

TMG:or...kinda quick...relatively qwuick... :B

GM:You always say that before long dialogue starts. :B

Faerie:Nah, it's fine, I have homework.

VAE:nah, am back with tea

Dr. Hatari:Well, I think we have three players that want to quit. While I to would love to continue, it may be rude to oblige them into being dragged along even more. It has been like eight hours.

TMG:so...final answer? Calling it here, or keep going?

GM:So, scorecards?

TMG:hatari; yes, we do 10-hour games x3

Meany:Scorecards. :o

Ghostwish:Calling it. I need to drag Liatai into a bonus session. :P

VAE:i aren't either for or against scorecards

TMG:Hmm..if you want to, Liatai :o

Ghostwish:I vote no for I must stop the terrible contagion that I have wrought upon this game!!!!!

Ghostwish:(yes)


 * Dr. Hatari ravenously loves the idea of 10 hour games. But understands if reasonable normal people don't.

TMG:you keeping track behind the scenes works too, as long as you don't lose them again :B

GM:All right! Everyone gets 800 XP for the wolf encounter, plus 100 for roleplaying, plus 100 for Party Unity - Finally, a cohesive group!

Dr. Hatari:Also, sadly, if I get this job there may be weeks I will be unable to play. I simply couldn't request off a weekend day. It would put me at a serious disadvantage against other apps. :/

VAE:Dr Hatari... i aren't reasonable or normal... but i have work to do

GM:Now, who wants public scorecards, who wants private, and who wants to nominate someone for an award?

TMG:so, 1,000 EXP for all!

VAE:i won't go to sleep before 6 am today, and get up at 8:30

Ghostwish:Public!

TMG:Oh, and I'm good for public personal scores xD

VAE:if, then public

Ghostwish:And if someone nominates me for the Miron slip, I will rocks fall them in my game. :>

GM:Nominations first? :3

Meany:Public.

Dr. Hatari:Haha

VAE:I nominate him for the miron slip because i aren't in his fucking game

Meany:I nominate Tathi for Field Medic.

TMG:Hmm....outstanding bit of roleplaying...

Ghostwish:I nominate Hatari for his 'valiant' catching the wolf's attention.. and getting dropped. XD

Dr. Hatari:I did not expect to be crit'd away from the keys. lol

Ghostwish:"COME AT ME BRO."

Meany:I nominate Elros for Killing Blow on the Dire Wolf. :B

VAE:I nominate the drow for *not* reaffirming Miron's faith in their race

Ghostwish:"Okay! *WHAM*"

TMG:...I don't want to reward Sszeyl for the attempted cowboy. He might try it again :B

Meany:Oh, he will anyway.

Meany:"Just need to get the timing right. :B"

TMG:...dude, totally serious OOC, I was hopinh the literal near-death would convince you otherwise

Ghostwish:( I will find a way to get you, VAE. :P)

VAE:Seriously... he was the first to openly contradict him, wasn't bothered to lift his ass off the table, and then endangered himself and Thomas...

Meany:It can convice me all it wants.

VAE:i mean, talk about bad first impressions XD

TMG:if Liatai hadn't DM-fiat'd that, Sszeyl would have been GONE

Meany:Unless it convinces the character, my hands are tied.

GM:SSZEYL! 100 XP - Reckless Riding. Just wait until Zairith hears about this one. >:3

TMG:Nearly dying does not convince your character?!

Meany:Dude.

TMG:Especially with how Zarith tore into you? :B

VAE:which in her place i probably wouldn't have for exactly this reason

Meany:He nearly died every day for a few months.

VAE:It makes players reckless

Ghostwish:This is true.

TMG:hooboy...allright. :B

Ghostwish:And almost killed the gnoll./

TMG:Oh.

Ghostwish:I hearby dub him suicide drow.

GM:THOMAS! 100 XP - Valiant Defender. You did a good job of defending and healing your comrades! .... up until the point where the wolf critted you. Ouch. ^^'

Ghostwish:Like all horror movies, the black guy dies first. :P

TMG:....

TMG:Ow. That was bad.

VAE:To be complete, he should wear a red shirt

Meany:Hmm.

TMG:That was just wrong. >_-

Dr. Hatari:"You know, I was God once." "Yes, I saw. You were doing well until everyone died."

Ghostwish:YES.

VAE:it wasn't .. it was apt

GM:GNOGGLEBOLT! 100 XP - Iron Gnome. Putting the Pack Rat skill to practical use!

Ghostwish:We must get the drow a red shirt!

TMG:Heehee :>

GM:TATHI! 100 XP - Field Medic. Not bad for someone without ranks in the Heal skill! You saved how many people, now? O.o

VAE:ahahah.. iron gnome

Ghostwish:XPGhostwish:two. XD

TMG:adding 1,100 EXP to my count in token...

TMG:*hint hint everyone else ;)

Dr. Hatari::oGhostwish:we started off at 3500

VAE:'right... so 4500 it shall be

TMG:Yup, we did

TMG:so 4600 for me

GM:ELROS! 100 XP - Prudent Warrior. I don't think you got an AoO during the whole encounter. O.o

Faerie:Nope, managed to avoid that, luckily.

Faerie:Don't know how though. o.o

VAE:that'd be an achievement that Sszeyl shall never get

Meany::BVAE:the mule should get a Top Gun

Dr. Hatari:Wait, there was a 1000 exp in there somewhere?

VAE:that's from WoT

Dr. Hatari:I totally missed that.

Ghostwish:'All right! Everyone gets 800 XP for the wolf encounter, plus 100 for roleplaying, plus 100 for Party Unity - Finally, a cohesive group!'

VAE:you put down six or more opponents and more than everyone else

GM:BARBARUS! Door Ducker - Those were some darn impressive riding skills from a rogue. :B

Meany:Two more sessions like this, and we're ECL 4.

Dr. Hatari:So, tech, is Thomas not-dark enough for you?

GM:Oh, right, that was 100 XP.

TMG:hatari; oh yes xD

TMG:Thomas has aquitted himself nicely x3

VAE:haha.. he definitely doesn't look like anything to do with pelor though

Dr. Hatari:Right. The token is wildly innapropriate. I just had it in my images folder. And let me tell you.

Dr. Hatari:Every single fucking one of my other images is either some kind of eldrich horror or Warhammer 40k fascist cyber nazi.

Dr. Hatari:So I went with it.

Liatai:XDGhostwish:FOR THE DARK GODS.

VAE:nah, fascist cyber nazi sounds like the empire

Dr. Hatari:MORE TEA FOR THE TEA THRONE.

Ghostwish:And on that topic, my storyboarding teacher's project for us? Robot Zombie GOrilla. First thing that popped into my head? New necron melee unit.

VAE:but then, the Adeptus Mechanicus are awesome

Dr. Hatari:I'm still amused by the alternate plan. Which was to behave exactly like this, while looking even more innocuous without armor.

Liatai:... well crud. It's not letting me save the campaign. O.o

Dr. Hatari:And then just flip out and start removing witch heads in the first combat.

Meany:Wat.

Dr. Hatari:Vatican-style assassin using Ninja levels. :B

VAE:ahahaa

VAE:Tech made a hillarious typo on chat

VAE:Critical hi

Liatai:OK, it's still not letting me save the campaign, so I'm saving backup copies of tokens. I suggest the players do the same.

VAE:saved mine

Ghostwish:saved

Dr. Hatari:Well, see you all next week.

Dr. Hatari:It was a very enjoyable first game. Looking forward to next~

VAE:same

VAE:at least a sane character gets to see a bit more action, if anything

Liatai:See you all! :3 And see some of you in the IRC?

VAE:though trofim was hillarious to play too


 * Ghostwish drags Liatai away.

VAE:liatai, save the log, too!

Ghostwish:>>Ghostwish is disconnected.

Dr. Hatari is disconnected.

Meany is disconnected.
