Meany:Speaking of. Where be mah tokens?

Liatai:Well, like I said, you have the leatherworker. :P

Sszeyl:Found one.

Sszeyl:But Barbie's missing.

Liatai:He's up in the cage room.

Barbarus:I need new classes, it seems.

TMG:and even with no ranks in a specific craft skill, I have a +8 bonus anyway :U

Ghostwish has connected.

Meany:Avastenstien.

VAE is disconnected.

Liatai:Gives me time to get out Elros' character sheet, at least...

TMG:and just a reminder, that I could drop at any time without anyone even knowing about it...

VAE has connected.

TMG:anyway, checking logs real quick...

Meany:Yoyoyo.

GM:Roll call!

Meany:Present.

TMG:Presetn


 * GM hands Meany a roll.

TMG:*Present >.-


 * GM hands TMG a roll.

VAE:preset!

VAE:XDGhostwish:Meow.

GM:Anybody else? They're fresh from the oven. :B


 * GM hands Ghostwish and VAE rolls.

TMG:and...since we are Faeless, that's everyone? :U

GM:So, now that we're fed, shall we begin? :3

TMG:quick question

GM:Last time in Akellon... Oh?

TMG:after you intro the session, may I post the last few -in-character lines from the last session to get on the right track?

GM:Sure!

TMG:Thanks, just checking ahead of time ^^

TMG:Open it up, DM! :D

VAE:hah, feed the trolls XD

GM:Last time in Akellon, there was a great deal of talking about what to do with the captive goblins. After discussion of goblin soup, the prevailing decision was to use them as bait for the goblins' clients... now, they just need to reunite a cat and his donkey.

TMG:beginning dialogue-dump...

TMG:Gnogglebolt:"Alright. Now to get Barbarus on his way...and that dark wolf mess should be cleaned up." Liatai:Well, you have the leatherworker, Meany... :P Barbarus:"If you need it skinned and tanned, give me a call when you get back to town." Gnogglebolt:"So, barbarus, I think we're all tired and frayed from these events not being what we were expecting and distratcing us from expected events, so unless any of my associates object, we shall find your Venezuela, and send you on your way."

TMG:Gnogglebolt:"Hopefully, we'll never see you agai--...nevermind." Barbarus:"Much appreciated." :3 Gnogglebolt:"So, who's coming along to take Barbarus to find his pet?" Liatai:Choose Your Party. X3 Derish:"Me." Barbarus glares at the mention of 'pet' but says nothing. Papa tilts his head. Want me along? Y/N

TMG:Elros:Elros shrugs. "Unless I'm needed in the caves, I suppose." Trofim:So, papa.. should we go with them, or wait? Gnogglebolt:"Right...actually, I should probably stay here in case any of these goblins wake up. So just take Barbar us out, reunite him, then come back as soon as possible so we can reset our ambush." Gnogglebolt:"These delays have wasted enough of our time already..."

TMG:(and that's it)

GM:Take it away!


 * Papa tilts his head at Trofim.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to Elros and Derish as the accompany Barbarus. "And if that's everyone..."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to the unconcious goblins in the cages.

Liatai:Is that everyone going with Barbarus?


 * Barbarus 's tailtip starts flicking. A warning sign to hurry up.

Ghostwish:Yup yup!

Liatai:Has Trofim reached a decision? :3

VAE:oh, trofim said it last time

Gnogglebolt:"Actually, might as well get to informing these goblins of their situation as soon as possible so we may get back to work without a necesary interruption."

VAE:he's for using them as bait, cares little what happens after

Liatai:As in, does he go with Barbarus or stay in the cave? ^^'

Sszeyl: (( Where were we last time? Discussing the dragon in the pit? ))

Terri:"I think it's a shy dragon, Bri... it's not talkin' to me."

TMG:(danman?)

VAE:you know the algorithm XD

VAE:where papa goes, trofim goes

Liatai:« 1d2 = 1 »

Liatai:Cave it is! X3

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt briefly watches the three head up the tunnel, then looks back.

Gnogglebolt:"Anyway. I'm going to wake these goblins up and tell them about where they stand."

Trofim:*looks at the group depart, then appears bored*

Gnogglebolt:"For...diplomatic reasons, it's probably best if I am the only one they see."

Trofim:Anyone seen papa's rag ball?

Gnogglebolt:"At least, initially."


 * Papa picks it up off the ground and drops it at Trofim's feet.

Gnogglebolt:"Probably won't make a terrible difference, but you you all could move into the corridor or next room, that would be appreciated..."

Maximillian Toris:"All right."


 * Justinian Rubus seems torn between being the big bad guard and wanting to get as far away from the smelly little critters as he can. "..."

Sszeyl:"Since you aren't roasting your sister, and I've told you all I can about the Dragon, I'm going back to my apples now."

Trofim:Well, allright

Barbarus:"Doo doo dee doo."

Gnogglebolt:In the meantime, Gnogglebolt darts off ( "Be right back." ), then returns a minute later with a pail of water.

Derish:"Taking us to the donkey or not, kitten?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at Trofim and Barshal if they haven't already moved.

Liatai:You guys can move freely down the tunnel. I'll send Elros to follow.

Gnogglebolt:okay, barshal

Barbarus:"I am, but with you two moving so slow, any faster and you'd think I was running off again."

VAE:*thud*

Liatai:One thing the tunnel party may notice is that Sszeyl's horse is missing, but the cart is untouched.

Barbarus:Ultra oops.

Liatai:... Where'd you guys go? XD

VAE:*thud* XD

VAE:rammedthe wall

VAE:and walked into it

TMG:ghost?

TMG:You there?

Barbarus:I kinda ported over to the clearing Barbie was hanging out in before the cave.

Barbarus:And then skeedaddled over into the black.

VAE:can someone move me out of the wall ?

Liatai:I said move down the tunnel, not into the clearing yet... Sorry, that was unclear. ^^;

Liatai:Hang on, Danman.

TMG:Ghostwish? Are you there?

Liatai:Ghost!

Ghostwish:whut?

Liatai:Barshal. :B

TMG:is Barshal moving, or does he insist on staying?

Liatai:Donkey-finding party, please hold for a while. ^^

Trofim:Ouch, that hurt

Trofim:these bloody low ceilings!

Ghostwish:When did someone talk to Barshal? O.o


 * Papa snuffs at Trofim.

TMG:read up, ghost

TMG:look for Gnogglebolt's request

Sszeyl:*munch munch munch*

Papa:*woof!*

Papa:*wag wag wag*

Ghostwish:you all is ambigous, be specific next time. XD

TMG:Situational awareness, man!

Trofim:Nice dog! *scratches Papa*

Ghostwish:Token vision, man! Can only have one going at the same time, man! Stop talking like a wiped out hippy, man!

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sets down the pail of water and moves a small crate into the center of the room, looking at Justinian while he does.

Trofim:Now, if only i remembered where is the rag ball

Gnogglebolt:"You will stay there?"


 * Papa dropped it at Trofim's feet, remember? :B

Justinian Rubus:"... Might as well," he grumbles, seeming resigned to his fate as goblin-sitter.

Trofim:*notices the ball* Oh! so that's why you were!

Trofim:*throws the ball with glee down the tunnel* Come Papa! Bring!

Papa:*Woof woof woof woof woof! Papa barrels after the ball and returns it.*

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt shrugs, and returns to work. He adjusts the bandages around his still-injured midsection, making them visible, then walks about the cages with the pail of water, sprinkling it in their faces, saying something in Goblin.

Liatai:OK, now summary time. ^^

Gnogglebolt:After that, he goes to the crate and sits down on it, propping up his head with a grim expression as they awake

Liatai:Most of the goblins are out cold, but two of them start to stir, one of them muttering something grumpy. Gnogglebolt says something, then sits on the box, propping his chin up with a hand. One goblin, the former worg rider, blearily opens his eyes, notices the gnome, then snaps to full awareness, leaping up and starting to yell. The mumbling goblin also wakes, joining the clamor and rattling the door to his cage. Gnogglebolt tries to speak, but the goblins are too busy yelling and rattling their cages. He presses a hand to his face in exasperation, then stands up and SHOUTS.

Liatai:The goblins freeze, blinking at the gnome as if they've just realized he's there. Max, from the hallway, gives a low whistle. "Nice projection."

Liatai:"Thanks," Gnogglebolt replies, then turns back to the goblins and launches into a speech. The goblins listen, the former worg-rider's face contorting into something akin to a canine snarl, while the formerly mumbling one has a manic grin starting to spread from ear to ear. The grinning goblin laughs, and the former worg rider snaps at his compatriot. Said compatriot, however, pays no heed and begins to cackle.

Liatai:Gnogglebolt narrows his eyes and steeples his fingers, listening. He asks one question, and the manic one starts up a fresh peal of laugher. The goblin repeats one word Gnogglebolt had said, then spits. He says a few more words, puffing himself up proudly before breaking down into more manic cackling. The gnome ignores the manic goblin, watching the worg rider, who is looking more and more like he just ate twelve lemons.

Trofim:Nice! *throws the ball from hand to hand a few times, then throws it again*

Liatai:Gnogglebolt asks one more question, and the manic goblin stops laughing abruptly, looking terrified. The other goblin is unphased, scowling and growling out a sentence. Gnogglebolt, with a guarded expression, asks one more question, and the worg rider replies with an ugly, leering grin. The other goblin utters a proud phrase, before beginning one more high-pitched string of manaical laughter. Gnogglebolt stands up...

Sszeyl:*munch munch munch*

TMG:(oh, that's it?)

TMG:alrighty...

Derish:"Where's this donkey of yours?"

VAE:someone explained himself badly.. it seems like they got the idea they have a choice

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Justininan, gestuing with a finger. "Follow. Now. Quickly."

Gnogglebolt:He moves down the corridor to the others.

Justinian Rubus:"Huh? Me? What did they say?"

Meany:GM, could you harpoon Barbie's token out of the black? :U Seem to have dropped it.

Gnogglebolt:"Where's Sszeyl and the others?"

Maximillian Toris:"What's going on?"

Gnogglebolt:"nevermind, I will get them. Stay here, please."

Barbarus:Thankee.

Sszeyl:"Apple?"


 * Papa follows the gnome curiously.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sees Sszeyl as he passes. Gnogglebolt continues without stopping, and says, "Cage room, quickly."

Terri:"Mr. Sparkgear?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt finds Terri and Brian where he left them. "Come, quickly."


 * Terri comes in, riding on Papa. "What's wrong?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt also sees Nintrok and Slat. he gestures to them, and speaks to them in goblin to follow as well (but tells them not to get in sight of the other goblins)

Gnogglebolt:As soon as everyone is present, Gnogglebolt starts talking.

Gnogglebolt:"Well, my chat with them was quite enlightening."

Gnogglebolt:"It seems we are indeed now the targets of the Blacksword goblin tribe."

Gnogglebolt:"And the ones who are looking for the donkey may be in trouble right now." Gnogglebolt says, with a strange calm.

Liatai:Spot check for the donkey, Barbarus and Derish?

Barshal:"They are without magical support. I suggest we go and help them."

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11 » spot!

Elros:« 1d20+8 = 9 + 8 = 17 » Faerie's character sheet is nice and neat. Yay. :3

Gnogglebolt:"Indeed, we must pursue them immediately. Terri and the goblins--all the goblins-- must remain, however. Who will stay behind to guard them? Quickly, we must leave right now."

Barshal:"is the town guard so useless? What of Brian and the others?"

Brian Toris:"I'll stay."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances at barshal. "That is what I am asking about, yes."

Justinian Rubus:"Hey! I'm not useless!"

Liatai:Barbarus, Spot check?

Barshal:"Then guard them." The construct states flatly.

Gnogglebolt:"Right then. Brian and Justinian, if you find yourself under attack by more Blacksword goblins before we return, more than a small raid party, just leave. Get out as quickly as you can, take Nintrok and Slat with you. Leave these blacksword goblins. If you cannot hold this hideout on your own, no need to risk yourself over it."

Brian Toris:"Right."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt quickly goes and Nintrok and Slat and tells them in goblin to follow Brian's lead.

Gnogglebolt:"And for the rest of us, let us depart now. Make haste, the others could be under attack as we speak!"

Barshal:Barshal doesn't wait for another word.

Liatai:Barbarus, Spot check?

TMG:(waiting for sszeyl and trofim)


 * Liatai pokes Meany.

TMG:(and maybe max, if he isn't staying)

Liatai:Danman? Meany?

VAE:ack! again!

Trofim:Trofim phases out as the speech goes on... realises everyone has left then dashes off and promptly collides head-on with a stalactite

Trofim:*bleep*!

Maximillian Toris:"You all right there?"

Trofim:Yep... it was just a *bleep*ing rock

Trofim:No match for me head!

Trofim:*grins*

TMG:And meany? Where's our cannon of nonlethalness? >.>

Liatai:Just waiting on Meany...

Drayco has connected.

Liatai:Heyo!

Liatai:We're just waiting on Meany to come back so things can move forward.

Maximillian Toris:"So, what is this Blacksword tribe, anyway? And why would they be targeting us?"

Barshal:"Paranoia would suggest they are in league with the defilers."

Drayco:...I need a way to tell who's-who in these games...

Meany:Back from unannounced afk.

Meany:Pause, please.

Liatai:Paused!

Meany:Coloured text is always good.

TMG:ah! There ya are, meany

Meany:I claim orange.

TMG:actually, while we're paused for meany, we can tell drayco who's who

TMG:Meany is playing the drow mon Sszeyl and the catfolk rogue Barbarus

TMG:Ghost is playing the "wildforged" druid Barshal and the gnoll fighter Derish

TMG:Danman/VAE has Trofim, the insane human cleric

TMG:Alex, who is not here, plays Elros

TMG:the half-elf ranger

TMG:and I play Gnogglebolt, the gnome tinker

TMG:everyone else is an NPC

Drayco:...Dammit...

Papa:*Even me! But I'm a dog, too. :B*

TMG:drayco; eh?

Drayco:Sorry, thought i lost a token again.

VAE is disconnected.

TMG:uhoh

TMG:(wonder what's going on at Meany's end...)

TMG:(one heck of an afk...)

Liatai:Man oh man. Tech, you said we'd have to worry about you and disconnecting... seems you passed the disconnect disease on. ^^'

TMG:xDTMG:man, and today was supposed to be a quick and very moving-ahead session... :TMG:>:TMG:but now two peeps are MIA...

Liatai:Yeah... >:Liatai:I think Meany's just reading to catch up.

VAE has connected.

Meany:Actually.

Meany:Meany was dragged off again.

Liatai:>:VAE:crap...

Liatai:Everything okay over there?

TMG:yeah, what's up, meany?

VAE:and when i dropped my nick my channel died too so ow i am waiting for boxy or someone to OP me so i can register it again...

VAE:*now

Drayco:VAE has DSL. Drayco used to HANDLE DSL issues.

Drayco:...For TWO years...

Drayco:...ANd I assure you, they didn't keep me around for my looks.

VAE:XDLiatai:X3Meany:Family expected someone to come inspect and make an offer on sister's dead car.

Meany:So hurry hurry to get car cleaned and house ready.

TMG:huh o.o

TMG:how long is that gonna keep you busy do you think?

Drayco:Why would they need the house cleaned up?

Meany:Then mom told us that person doesn't get off work until late tonight.

TMG:...ah. >.-

Meany:So cluster rage ensued.

Liatai:In case the guest comes in for coffee or something, I guess, Drayco.

Liatai:Ow. >.o

TMG:so, er...still busy now, or are you good?

Meany:Just now got back from work.

Meany:Have to read, and replace icky stale tea.

Meany:Shouldn't take more than four minutes.

TMG:alrighty

Liatai:OK. ^^

Meany:Feel free to time me.

Liatai:I don't think that'll be necessary. X3

Meany:Okay. done.

VAE is disconnected.

Drayco:DAMMIT!

Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15 » Overdue spot check.

Drayco:Somebody must've used the phone at VAE's place...

Sszeyl:"I too will stay. I'm better at defensive fighting than offensive, I've noticed."

VAE has connected.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt seems worried at this. "Are you sure? Your skills an subduing enemies is very useful..."

TMG:one sec danma

TMG:whispering

GM:Mid-session roll call! I still have half a dozen rolls to hand out. X3

TMG:Present!

Ghostwish:Meow!

Meany:Yo.

Drayco:Are they french bread rolls?

VAE:haha! here!

GM:Unfortunately, they're just simple crusty rolls. But rolls for all!

GM:And speaking of rolls, all three of you succeeded on your Spot checks. :3

VAE:as long as they are not handed out with butter, hot cocoa or anything like that, it's OK

VAE:XDDrayco:Seriously, let those things harden, and you can beat people senseless with it.

TMG:Butterless bread? D:TMG:blech!

TMG:x3 Anyway!

Barbarus:"...Hmm, a conundrum."

TMG:backing up a bit...

TMG:Maximillian Toris: "So, what is this Blacksword tribe, anyway? And why would they be targeting us?" Barshal: "Paranoia would suggest they are in league with the defilers."

Barbarus:"I want to rip out their spines for touching my Venezuela, and also flee in terror."

GM:You can see several forms moving in the trees near the spring... and you might hear a few annoyed voices, and a donkey braying.


 * Sszeyl pulls out a coin, and flips.

Sszeyl:« 1d2 = 1 »

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at the two. "The Blacksword tribe is a tribe of warrior goblins. They've apparently been merciless enemies of the Redmaw tribe for some time."

Derish:"It would seem your donkey is still alive. May I suggest we keep it that way?"

Sszeyl:"...I guess the universe disagrees with me."

Gnogglebolt:"And the Blacksword tribe is very unlikley to be in leagyue with the necromancers. The Blacksowrd tribe kill members of the Redmaw tribe. The necromancers have been helping the Redmaw tribe."

TMG:okay

TMG:and moving the tokens ahead during the diaolouge...

TMG:while the first three guys might have been powerwalking, we're at least jogging...

VAE:especially gnogglebolt

Liatai:I'll warp you in a bit. :3

VAE:we'll be all bent!

Gnogglebolt:"They can't have gone too far..."

Barbarus: (( Considering Barbarus makes no mention of having a quiver/bow on his person, and no search attempts were made, he only has one dagger on hand. ))

VAE:our plane sections! they won't stay plane!

Liatai:Hey, get back here and let me warp you! XD

Derish:Derish waits for a reply.. and then shrugs, drawing his longsword as he heads for the goblins.

Barshal:"There they are." The druid says.

Barbarus:"...Did he just forget to untie my *bleep*ing hands?!"

Gnogglebolt:"Associates! Hold!" Gnogglebolt says in as a hushed voice as he can.

Ghostwish:he's still tied???

Liatai:His hands are still tied, I think. XD

Ghostwish:Eh, let the bot untie him. :P

Gnogglebolt:"Derish! Derish! Halt!"

TMG:(what do we see, by the way?)

Derish:Derish stops, sighing deeply. "What is it, silly little gnome creature?"

Drayco:Kick attack! Kick someone in the shin!

VAE:bloody hell!

VAE:i forgot to set the maptool torrent to download!

TMG:o.o?

Drayco:Oooh... Ouch...

VAE:you know!

VAE:the massive mapping object one

VAE:now that i'm at home bittorrent isn't blocked


 * Venezuela brays. « 1d20+4 = 20 + 4 = 24 »

Venezuela:... holy cow the mule got a crit. XD « 1d20+4 = 19 + 4 = 23 »

TMG:....huh? o.O

Venezuela:HOLY COW. XD

Venezuela:« 1d4+3 = 4 + 3 = 7 »

TMG:what's going on?

TMG:DM? where are we and what are we seeing?

Liatai:You don't know, but you just heard a donkey bray and a loud sickening CRACK.

Drayco:...That would be Barb's que to run ahead pf the group like an idiot...

Liatai:You are in the valley with the three caves. The sounds came from the grove to your northeast.

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 18 + 1 = 19 »

Barbarus:Escape artist check! :D

Gnogglebolt:"Well, it's good we caught up with you."

Drayco:Hey, isn't that a TRAINED skill?

VAE:trofim is a peasant

Liatai:Who did the ropework, anyway? XD I think that's an escape.

VAE:he should recognise the noise a mule makes

Gnogglebolt:"We are all in danger. The blackword goblins are targeting us specifically now--what was that sound?"

VAE:even when kicking somebody xD

Liatai:... Did I say donkey? I meant mule, sorry. XD

Barbarus:"That would be Venezuela."

Drayco:Nope. Nevermind me.

Derish:"You, talking when we have a donkey to save!" Deirsh barks, resuming his advance.

Gnogglebolt:"...Alright, does everyone want to rescue the pack-beast?"

Drayco:Escape Artist is NOT a skill that needs training.

Trofim:It's a mule!

Barbarus: (( It's also subject to armor penalties. ))

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sighs and moves over to Barbarus, seeing his hands are still tied, and cautiously unties them as fast as he can.

Gnogglebolt:"Alright everyone, let us be off!"

Barbarus:"Anyone have a spare bow and arrows?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt likewise attempts to keep with with Derish

Liatai:Set your "marching" order!

TMG:marching order, okay...

TMG:well, gnogglebolt is slow, so he'll probably be in the back

Derish:The gnoll isn't waiting as he moves forward.


 * Sszeyl draws out closed war fan, ready to test it out.

TMG:and I doubt the others are waiting up

Drayco:Bracers of Armor. They be awesome.

TMG:drayco; I'm a GNOME.

Drayco:Oh wait... I normally use Mage armor.

Barshal:Barshal is moving towards the sound of the braying.

TMG:small-size, my movement is already 20

Liatai:Hang on.

Barshal:Paused!

Barbarus:« 1d20+2 = 15 + 2 = 17 » Sleight of hand to swipe Elros' Bow. :D

Barbarus:And arrows.

Liatai:« 1d20+8 = 8 + 8 = 16 » Spot.

TMG:erm...

Drayco:Wouldn'

TMG:I'm not sure you can do that, meany :/

Drayco:t that be TWO separate checks?

Liatai:He didn't meet the DC, anyway.

Meany:Dang. :B

Liatai:So, forward march?

VAE:wait, how come he has only +2

TMG:yeah, forward march, with poor gnome left behind xD

VAE:oh, this isn't sszeyl

VAE:or the captain...


 * Sszeyl sticks close to the gnome, as a security force of sorts. :B

Liatai:Rearrange yourself how you see fit before entering the grove. I give you 3 minutes. :3

TMG:Gnogglebolt's lagging behind

TMG:I imagine Barbarus is ushing to the front

VAE:trofim goes forwards

VAE:he's the sort to rush into stuff, besides has a large stride


 * Barbarus sneaks off into the brush.

Liatai:Hide and Move Silently checks, Barbarus!

Ghostwish:Those're trees. XD

Barbarus:« 1d20+3 = 10 + 3 = 13 » Move silently. « 1d20+2 = 20 + 2 = 22 » Hide.

Derish:Derish advances forward, along with Barshal.


 * Barbarus is invisible, foos.

Drayco:Hmmm... I wish Sorcerers had Move Silently as a class skill...

Goblin 5:« 1d20+2 = 4 + 2 = 6 »

Liatai:You are invisible and inaudible. X3

Drayco:Does any of them have the Scent ability?

Liatai:As you enter the clearing, you can see -- hang ON, will you? XD

Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 17 + 4 = 21 » Spot for Venezuela. :B

TMG:goblins do not have Scent >.-

Worg:*but I do. And I don't like you.*

TMG:aw, crudly

Liatai:You can see six goblins, all crowded around the spring. Three are around Venezuela, yelling at the mule and waving their weapons. Another goblin lays on the ground, head caved in. A half-orc woman, wearing as many bones as Barbarus if not MORE, stands atop a cart drawn by a worg, barking out orders in Goblin. Unlike Barbarus, however, the bones the half-orc wears are distinctly humanoid, and humanoid skulls clatter against the side of the laden cart every time the half-orc moves. Sszeyl's horse is being accosted by another goblin.

Drayco:Pffffffft!

Sszeyl:« 1d20+2 = 5 + 2 = 7 » Will save against murderous rage.

TMG:erLiatai:The goblins are all wearing orange shirts, and the half-orc wears orange-tinted chain mail under the bones. A deep black sword is in the half-orc's hand, and she gestures with it while shouting orders.

TMG:are the rest of our tokens getting moved closer?

VAE:who can see them?

Drayco:"Accosted"... Ahahahahahaha...

VAE:because there are trees in front of us

Liatai:... What? What did I say? >:VAE:who's Doug?

TMG:yeah, not sure what drayco finds funny...

Sszeyl:Mah horse.

Sszeyl:Also, I think I failed that save against murderous fury. :B

Liatai:Initiative? :3

Trofim:There is another skull there!.. be aware! Someone there might know true magic!

Trofim:« 1d20-1 = 19 - 1 = 18 » initiative

Gerta Blacksword:Listen - « 1d20+2 = 7 + 2 = 9 »

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sees the goblins in the clearing as the group rushes forward. He takes particular notice of the half-orc wielding a black-colored sword.

Gnogglebolt:Init: « 1d20+1 = 20 + 1 = 21 »

Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 17 + 4 = 21 » Initiative.

TMG:...does barb have improved init, or just a really high Dex? o.o

Sszeyl:« 1d20+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 » Initiative.

Sszeyl:Whoops.

Sszeyl:Typo on the sheet. :B

Barbarus:« 1d20+2 = 5 + 2 = 7 » Initiative.

Barbarus:Sorry. :B

TMG:???

VAE:erm.. why did you reroll?

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 3 + 5 = 8 » init!

TMG:I don't think you needed to reroll, meany...

VAE:we just use the correct modifier

TMG:just change the modifier

Barshal:« 1d20-1 = 11 - 1 = 10 » init!

TMG:that's how I run my games, anyway. Dunno about Liatai, actually

VAE:that's what you would do at a table

Elros:« 1d20+3 = 14 + 3 = 17 »

VAE:so it's the correct thing

VAE:because normally dice rolling is separate from he addition ... heck even maptool keeps it that way

Liatai:OK, I'll be back in two shakes... but this is your surprise round! ^^

TMG:.....

TMG:awwwwwww man.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

TMG:Surprise round? Dammit >.-

TMG:for us

TMG:cuz, uh

Liatai:Don't worry, I'm just going to get stew. XD

TMG:gnogglebolt's gonna blow it >.o

Ghostwish:Run is 3x times your movement speed when in heavy armor, right?

TMG:I believe so

TMG:wait a sec

TMG:oh yeah! Derish is in med/heavy armor!

TMG:His speed is the same as gnogglebolt's! :o


 * Liatai returns.

TMG:anyway, uh...

TMG:well, actually

Liatai:-- Oh pfft, I forgot Max! XD I'll put him last in initiative.

TMG:Since, during a surprise round, people are actually attacking others, and -that- doesn't kick them into action immediately

TMG:could a surprising character shout loudly without ruining the surprise round?

TMG:(also, to everyone; you only get a partial action during a rurprise round. one move or standard action)

Liatai:Yep, you could do that.

TMG:DANMAN

TMG:It's not your turn!

TMG:anyway

VAE:initiative hidden itself

TMG:one sec, double-checking something

VAE:and i thought barbarus moved, him being before me

VAE:apparently am having hallucinations

Drayco:Need to reboot router. Hang on a sec...

TMG:ah, here we go

TMG:The Surprise Round: If some but not all of the combatants are aware of their opponents, a surprise round happens before regular rounds begin. Any combatants aware of the opponents can act in the surprise round, so they roll for initiative. In initiative order (highest to lowest), combatants who started the battle aware of their opponents each take a standard action during the surprise round (see Standard Actions, page 139). You can also take free actions during the surprise round, at the DM’s discretion. If no one or everyone is surprised, no surprise round occurs. Unaware Combatants: Combatants who are unaware at the start of battle don’t get to act in the surprise round. Unaware combatants are flat-footed because they have not acted yet, so they lose any Dexterity bonus to AC.

TMG:and for Gnogglebolt's turn

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt starts to move forward. he heard strange shouts in Goblin, and someone comes into view as he moves. A half-orc, bearing a black sword.

Gnogglebolt:Well then.

Gnogglebolt:"Blacksword! She is our target! Take her down!" Gnogglebolt yells, pointing.

Gnogglebolt:end turn

Barbarus has received initiative.

Barbarus:Are my previous hide/move silently still good, or do I need to re-roll?

Liatai:They're still good. No goblin or half-orc is aware of you.

TMG:well, we're already in the surprise round, it doesn't matter

Drayco:I think it's a roll EVERY time you move.

TMG:you get one move or standard action

TMG:drayco; that's if you're trying to remain stealthy

TMG:but it's fighty time now

Drayco:Hey, I would be...

TMG:I don't think barbarus is, though :P

Liatai:Folks, if you don't mind, can we keep mechanics talk to a minimum? :P

Drayco:...I'd also need Sleight of Hand to disguise spells...

Barbarus:« 1d20+2 = 12 + 2 = 14 » Hide. « 1d20+3 = 9 + 3 = 12 » Move silently to shift around in the brush.

TMG:...

TMG:what is barbarus trying to do?

Barbarus:Find something he can do to help Venezuela with only a dagger as a weapon. :P

TMG:Keep it simple, man. Venezuela's in trouble, from everything that you've played him so far, is he -really- going to just sneack around the bush instead of charging in?

TMG:...hum.

Liatai:Venezuela also just caved in a goblin's skull with a kick. :B

VAE:how does running work?

Barbarus:Results of the check?

Liatai:Can't tell you. :3

TMG:straight line only, 4x your base speed, 3x if armored or encumbered

VAE:'llright

TMG:and

TMG:fullround action

TMG:cannot do it during surprise round

VAE:so, no running now

TMG:only single standard or move action

Barbarus:End turn. :P

Trofim has received initiative.

TMG:Go crazyman go!

Trofim:The *bleep* .. more of them

VAE:end turn

Liatai:Also, for the heck of it, « 1d20+4 = 15 + 4 = 19 »

Liatai:-- holy. XD

VAE:what happen?

Venezuela:« 1d4+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 »

Venezuela:Venezuela just killed another goblin, that's what happened. XD

TMG:...

TMG:that is one badass donkey o.o

VAE:ahahaha

TMG:damn, Barb!

Elros has received initiative.

Barshal has received initiative.

TMG:Go druid go :o

Liatai:*WHACK* The mule's hoof shoots out like lightning and clocks a goblin square between the eyes!

Barshal:Barshal purposefully strides forward, and then raises his arms in a quick chant. In a sudden puff of smoke, a black bear appears, and attacks goblin 6!! (Summon Nature's Ally II, and here is the SRD with the only thing it's good for. Summons! http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/bearBlack.htm ) Summoned the bear to 60,5.

Meany:Venezuela is certainly a violent country-er, nation. :B

Meany:Er, mule. :B

Liatai:... Where is 60,5?

TMG:erTMG:ghost?

TMG:was that a move and a standard action?

Ghostwish:Oh, right, surprise round.

Ghostwish:Sorry, he just moves then. Save that for later.

Meany:Did he just summon Fuzzy? :B

Ghostwish:Possibly. :P

Liatai:Hahaha! XD

Ghostwish:Fuzzy: What the fu.. there better be fish in this for me. >:O

Drayco:Fuzzy-Wuzzy the bear?

Liatai:Someone fill Drayco in on the story of Fuzzy. X3

VAE:Hmm, after this, she shoudl be called Finland

Ghostwish:Oh, an end turn of course.

Derish has received initiative.

Derish:Derish rushes forward, clanging loudly as he makes a run towards the opposition. End turn!

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt (secret check) « 1d20+4 = 3 + 4 = 7 »

Liatai:Sszeyl!

Sszeyl:The Drow flicks open the fan and moves forward calmly. End turn.

VAE:wait, how did Derish move so far?

Liatai:And now for me to roll initiative. « 1d20+2 = 14 + 2 = 16 »

Caswin has connected.

Drayco:...What lvl are these guys, again?

TMG:wait...yeah, derish seems a lot farther than he should be o.o

Liatai:« 1d20+1 = 7 + 1 = 8 »

TMG:drayco; everyone's lvl 2

VAE:level 3

Drayco:Oh.

VAE:erm 2

Liatai:« 1d20+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »

Meany:Yo, Caswin. :D

Meany:You caught us in the middle of combat. :D

Liatai:« 1d20+2 = 1 + 2 = 3 »

Caswin:'ello.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Drayco:The third Audience is the one in the middle of the fight.

Caswin:So, who are these people and why are you trying to kill each other?

Liatai:Hello hello! *hands Caswin popcorn*


 * Caswin eagerly accepts and starts munching.

Liatai:Shall we fill Caswin in while Gnogglebolt prepares his move? :3

TMG:hmm? Oh!

TMG:...dang.

VAE:haha!

VAE:when you said prepares his

VAE:i immediately mentally added "speech"

Liatai:XD!

TMG:heh heh. Not this time...

Liatai:Well, this is Gnogglebolt. :P

Caswin:Is he given over to impromptu speeches?

Gnogglebolt:With the apparent Blacksword in sight, Gnogglebolt moves in that direction, drawing his sling as he does so. It's a far distance, but he might get luck. He'll at least be able to get her attention

TMG:caswin; er.....

TMG:yes ^^;

Liatai:Gnogglebolt is rather given over to negotiating with enemies in languages that the rest of the party doesn't know. :P

Gnogglebolt:Sling Attack roll at -2 penalty: « 1d20+1 = 7 + 1 = 8 »

TMG:whiff

Liatai:Your sling stone makes a nice rustle as it hits the leaves of the tree.

Barbarus has received initiative.

Caswin:Handy!

VAE:yeah... i think the first thing Gnogglebolt will craft will be a megaphone

TMG:.... >.>

TMG:no comment.

Liatai:Anyway! Here's who we've got. Tech is playing Gnogglebolt Sparkgear, gnome tinker (and polyglot). Danman is playing Trofim, the human cleric who believes he is a wizard and has a skull friend named Beridze. Ghostwish is playing two characters; Barshal, the wildforged druid, and Derish, the gnoll fighter from the north. Meany is also playing two characters; Sszeyl, the drow monk-in-training, and Barbarus, the catfolk rogue with a macabre taste in fashion.

TMG:and it is the catfolk's turn :U

Ghostwish:He's fabolous.

VAE:it's spelled with an u

Liatai:Faerie_Alex plays Elros Saelian, half-elf ranger, but he's not here currently, so I'm autopiloting him.


 * Barbarus bolts from the bushes making a beeline for Venezuela.

Ghostwish:Your mum is spelled with a u.

Liatai:Doug is Sszeyl's horse. Venezuela is Barbarus' (apparently very dangerous) mule.:B

TMG:...catfolk have 4 base move? o.o

VAE:Random thought... there's no I in team but u is in fuck-up twice XD

TMG:*40

Liatai:They do!

TMG:or is he at 20 and ran

Liatai:They have 40 base move.

TMG:ah, huh

Barbarus:That was a double move, I don't know the mechanics for running. :B

TMG:alrighty

Barbarus:And no time to explain, end turn!

TMG:(I hope everyone heard Gnogglebolt's shout at the start, though.. >.> )


 * Venezuela brays and stomps her hooves menacingly. Anyone else want a piece of me? >:E

Trofim has received initiative.

VAE is disconnected.

TMG:'naw, crud

Liatai::Liatai:>:Liatai:Anyone want to fill Caswin in (briefly) on the story thus far while we wait for Danman?

Ghostwish:Not it!@

TMG:heh, I can

TMG:cas; anyway

TMG:at the -moment-, we are engaging a goblin tribe that's apparently decided to target us

TMG:it seems we have found, if not their bulk force, then their leader

TMG:so my character shouted at everyone to take on the leader first

VAE has connected.

VAE:center me on where the fun is?

Liatai:It's Trofim's turn, too :3

TMG:one sec

VAE:i know

Caswin:Thanks, TMG.

VAE:he ran

TMG:errrrrrr

TMG:danman?

TMG:how far did you just move?

VAE:3xbase speed

TMG:ohCaswin:Now why would they target half a dozen of the toughest adventurers around?

VAE:end turn

TMG:why are you going in that direction?

VAE:because it's the one with no trees

Liatai:Now, that is the question, isn't it. >:3

TMG:did you catch what gnogglebolt said, or is Trofim just doing his own thing?

Caswin:Hmmmmmm. Weird.

TMG:caswin; we are not the toughest adventurers around XD

TMG:like said, we're lvl 2 :P

VAE:i think i had.. but think... it's the most economic path there

VAE:the leader us where barbarus is

VAE:and runnign is done in lines

TMG:*shrug* alrighty

Liatai:In fact, they're more like a group of random people pulled off the street, since that's how they all met. :B

Caswin:Oh... well, even so.

VAE:heh, they met due to goblin robbery

Liatai:They were being targeted by the same group of pickpockets. X3

Elros has received initiative.

TMG:(the pickpocket goblin tribe being a -different- tribe than the one we're fighting now)

TMG:(these guys are warriors)

VAE:the one that we have all clobbered up

TMG:(in fact, the two tribes were basically at war with each other, which is why we're fighting this one now; we got caught in the middle :B )

Meany:I smell ten minute turn disease.

VAE:the non-nice thing is that my attack mod is the same as the mule's


 * Elros draws his crossbow and aims at the goblin harrassing the horse - « 1d20+5-2 = 18 + 5 - 2 = 21 »

Caswin:(Which one was Granch Redmaw's?)

VAE:and liatai said twice the mule hit due to sheer uck

VAE:*luck

Elros:« 1d8 = 7 »

TMG:(cas: Granch redmaw was the leader of the first tribe, the pickpockets)

Elros:THOCK.

Elros:The goblin goes down with a crossbow bolt sticking out of his chest.

TMG:*(these guys are the Blacksword tribe, and Blacksword is apparently a half-orc)

Caswin:(Oooh...)

TMG:(who the others seem to NOT be attacking... >.> )

TMG:but anyway, where are we now... Max's turn?

Maximillian Toris:Yep, the DM is looking up the range on a spell.

TMG:ah, sweet


 * Maximillian Toris points in the direction of the goblins near the spring and sings out a phrase in Draconic. Whoops, it takes a round to cast... So end turn!

Barshal has received initiative.

Barshal:Barshal purposefully strides forward, and then raises his arms in a quick chant. In a sudden puff of smoke, a black bear appears, and attacks goblin 6!! (Summon Nature's Ally II, and here is the SRD with the only thing it's good for. Summons! http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/bearBlack.htm ) He summons the bear to 65,4. End turn!

Liatai:... wait, doesn't summoning take a round?

Ghostwish:Yup, just letting ya know where.

Liatai:OK then. ^^

Derish has received initiative.

Derish:Derish strides forward, clanging loudly as he brings his longsword down upon Goblin 6! « 1d20+5 = 15 + 5 = 20 » for « 1d8+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 » damage!

Derish:End turn.

VAE:ah-ha!

TMG:aw, derish isn't listening either? :/

VAE:now i used Ktorrent instead of the shitty client i used before and stuff is downloading!

VAE:i will have the maptool files soon

Ghostwish:Barshal finds the city-slicker gnome to be silly and preposterous. Derish thinks the goblin-loving gnome is insane.


 * Goblin 6 is hit, and turns toward the gnoll with a snarl, sword raised.

VAE:well, soon for specific definitions of soon

Ghostwish:Simply put, influence check fail. :P

TMG:...I was asking about derish

TMG:but learning about barshal isn't comforting either :/

Ghostwish:Reading check fail too.

Goblin 6:The goblin attacks the gnoll with its longsword, swinging far more expertly toward him than the previous goblins they'd faced had. « 1d20+4 = 7 + 4 = 11 » for « 1d6+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 » damage!

Derish:Derish just laughs, catching the blow with his shield.

Goblin 1:One of the goblins attacking the mule runs forward, raising her own sword to swing at Barbarus. « 1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16 » for « 1d6+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 » damage!

Meany:Hit. :B

Burly Goblin 2:The other goblin runs up to the cart, waving his sword, and shouts a phrase to the half-orc, who barks out an affirmative. The goblin begins to undo the harness that holds the worg to the cart.

Burly Goblin:Finally, another goblin runs up to slice at Trofim. « 1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12 » for « 1d6+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »

Liatai:Oh, yes, hit description. « 1d10 = 10 »

Liatai:CRACK. Barbarus, hope those cracked ribs were part of your armor and not part of your body.

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Trofim:OW! *BLEEP* You *bleep*ing *bleep* whose mother was *bleep*ed by a *bleep*! Thrice!

Liatai:I'll be back in a bit, carry on. Got to help my mother shovel herself out of the driveway. ^^'


 * Sszeyl double moves, and ends turn.

TMG:soooo

TMG:oh, cas

TMG:since you may be joining the game, anything else you want to know about?

Caswin:Hmmm...

TMG:more details on a specific character, more info of previous sessions, other things?

Ghostwish:afk, starting a fire

Caswin:I'm thinking. And trying to prioritize between in-character and out-of-character information, background info I can lean toward acting on, and what my character would get caught up on with the rest of the party.

Caswin:...I expect to type better after a brief nap.

Caswin:But the point is, I imagine I'll probably get caught up on stuff at large in-character. Thanks for asking, though.

Liatai:I return!

Meany:Wb.

Caswin:'ello!

VAE:wb lia!

VAE:and i have my channel back thanks to boxy


 * Gerta Blacksword hops down behind the cart and picks up a shortbow.

Worg:The worg snarls and strains at its harness, eager to be let free to wreak havoc.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Caswin:(Is Gerta a man or a woman?)

TMG:(Gerta appears to be a female half-orc)

VAE:woma

Liatai:Woman.

VAE:gerta is female name

Liatai:Though it might be hard to tell. :P

VAE:german one, so it fits half-orcs

TMG:wait, crap'

TMG:wait

TMG:ack

TMG:can't keep my own thoughts straight

TMG:erTMG:ghaaa

TMG:so sorry guys, can't decide what I'm trying to do

Ghostwish:back

Liatai:It's OK. ^^

TMG:okay, think I got it now

Ghostwish:What's with the stammering tech? XD

Liatai:Hiyo, Ghost!

Meany:Yo.

VAE:wb!

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt continues to try and advance while he lets another slingstone fly. He sees the others going after random goblins, which bothers him. "No! Take out the leader first!" The sling stone flies (at -1 penalty this time) « 1d20+2 = 16 + 2 = 18 ». "The leader first!"

TMG:hit? :U

Liatai:What's the rule for cover? +2 AC?

Ghostwish:DM, what kind of check would I need to make to figure out the class of an enemy?

TMG:um...huh. Depends on which version of the cover rules you're using

Liatai:Hmmm. Good question.

Ghostwish:Yah, it is a good question. XD

VAE:i guess she be a paladin or something

Ghostwish:Remember how we decidied on sense motive in my game? Kind of gives you a gist of the enemy.

TMG:I actually prefer to use the 3.0 rules for cover instead of 3.5e, but it's your decision

Ghostwish:D&D seems to have few rules for getting info on the enemy's stats, beyond knowledge checks.. but where's the generic "What he be" check?

Liatai:Well, I don't know the 3.0 rules, so 3.5 it is. ^^'

Liatai:I think you would have to see the person in action to make any guesses on what their class might be. :B

Ghostwish:Ahhh, very good point.

Drayco:Spot checks for weapons?

TMG:so, uh, did Gnogglebolt hit?

Ghostwish:And armor!

Drayco:Armor? Other Equipment?

Liatai:Depends on cover.

Ghostwish:Makeup?

Liatai:XDLiatai:So, I'd say Spot check to see details. :3

TMG:errrrrg.

Ghostwish:Did Tech hit? :D

TMG:Well, in 3.5e, all cover is a flat +4 -_-

Liatai:So no, no hit.

TMG:which I'm thinking means I missed

TMG:dammit...

TMG:right, end turn

Barbarus has received initiative.

Drayco:...No True Strike?

TMG:....

TMG:drayco.

Meany:My turn?

Liatai:We have no arcane caster! XD

TMG:do you see ANY arcane casters in the damn party?

Liatai:Yep, it is. XD

Liatai:... Well, we do have a bard, but he's an NPC. >.>


 * Maximillian Toris is a bard.


 * Derish is a fighter.

Drayco:True Strike is a 1st level spell...


 * Barshal is a jerk- I mean, druid.

TMG:....what the heck, drayco?

Liatai:No arcane casters except the bard! XD


 * Barbarus leaps back and throws dagger at the goblin!

Barbarus:« 1d20+2 = 17 + 2 = 19 »

Liatai:THOCK. Roll damage!

Barbarus:Er.

Barbarus:According to the dagger I have on my sheet, 19-20 is crit range.

Barbarus:Roll to confirm?

Liatai:Nope.

Ghostwish:No. You rolled a 17.

Barbarus:Dang. :B

Barbarus:« 1d4 = 1 »

Ghostwish:Keen rapier. 15-20. Ask Jerico. :P

Drayco:Hooleeee crap...

Drayco:...Two Weapon Fighting on THAT sucker...

VAE:test

Ghostwish:When he's not picking pockets, stealing underwear or spreading bastard children, he's a crit monkey.

Goblin 1:The goblin growls and grits her teeth as the dagger grazes her leg.

Barbarus:End turn.

Drayco:Yes VAE?

Trofim has received initiative.

VAE:works!

Drayco:Ghost: I mean duel-wield the suckers.

Drayco:Weapon Finesse works with Rapiers.

Ghostwish:Pretty expensive. Might be viable on a ranger though.

Trofim:*Trofim whacks his flails against the goblin that injured him* « 1d20+4 = 4 + 4 = 8 » You *bleep*

Liatai:Whiff!

Trofim:*bleep*

Liatai:The goblin is sadly too short to be hit by that attack.

Liatai:End turn?

Trofim:*bleep* *bleep* shoudl grow *bleep*ing longer!

VAE:enf

VAE:end turn

Elros has received initiative.


 * Elros takes cover behind the tree and fires at the half-orc - « 1d20+5 = 20 + 5 = 25 »

TMG:Wooo :o

Elros:Crit confirm! « 1d20+5 = 4 + 5 = 9 »

TMG:damn

Elros:So no crit, but a hit! « 1d8 = 2 »

TMG:oof

Elros:The crossbow bolt hits the half-orc's shoulder, sinking in through the eye socket of the large humanoid skull that makes up her shoulder guard.

Ghostwish:AH HA HA HA.. who reads Sabrina Online?

Meany:Not I.

Ghostwish:You fail.

TMG:infrequently

TMG:(like it's updates :P )

Ghostwish:Well, given the fact it only updates once a month, of course infrequently. :P

Maximillian Toris:As the final notes of Max's song ring out, a shining white dog leaps into existence with a howl that harmonizes well with the human's voice.

Barshal has received initiative.

Ghostwish:Bear? :D

Liatai:Where did you want that bear?

Ghostwish:Flankin' with Derish.

Fuzzy:*What did you wake me for? :/ *

Barshal:Barshal purposefully strides forward, and then raises his arms in a mystical chant, weaving ancient runes through the air as he prepares to summon.. a crocidile. Geezus, what a mean druid. (Summon Nature's Ally II, and here is the SRD with the only thing it's good for. Summons! http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/crocodile.htm ) He summons the croc (crikey!) to 70,9. And gives it the order to attack the worg. Waaarg! End turn!

Fuzzy:*Oh... goblins. Yum. Almost as good as fish! SLASH. « 1d20+6 = 15 + 6 = 21 » with one claw, « 1d20+6 = 20 + 6 = 26 » with the other, and a bite to top it off! « 1d20+1 = 8 + 1 = 9 »

Fuzzy:Confirm with the claw - « 1d20+6 = 6 + 6 = 12 »

Drayco:...That's a small bear...

Fuzzy:*hey now ;.; *

Meany:Meany:>>* Meany harpoons Drayco.

Fuzzy:*I'm not small ;.; I'm a perfectly-normal sized black bear!*

VAE:yeah, he's a runt

Meany:No making the bear cry.

Ghostwish:hurry hurry hurry gotta check coals!!!!!


 * Fuzzy sobs.


 * Meany harpoons VAE.

Trofim:It's the small bear again!

Fuzzy:« 1d4+4 = 1 + 4 = 5 » « 1d4+4 = 2 + 4 = 6 »


 * Meany harpoons Trofim.

Fuzzy:The bear's angst-driven claws sink into the goblin, leaving it barely standing... no pun intended.

Derish has received initiative.

Derish:Derish just laughs, an excited canine yipping, as he swings his longsword at Goblin 6! « 1d20+7 = 20 + 7 = 27 » for « 1d8+3 = 8 + 3 = 11 » damage! And yes, that's with flanking bonus. End turn!

Derish:« 1d20+7 = 3 + 7 = 10 »

Trofim:Hey! just because you managed to ascend once doesn't mean you can harpoon me!

Ghostwish:afk

TMG:...

Meany:Yes it does. :B

TMG:he hacks at the already dead goblin? :B

Liatai:SLICE. The goblin is cleaved cleanly in half.

Burly Goblin:The other goblin slices at Trofim - « 1d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14 » for « 1d6+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »

Goblin 1:The goblin facing Barbarus leers -- what'cha gonna do now, cat boy? You threw away your weapon! She slashes at the cougar - « 1d20+4 = 17 + 4 = 21 » for « 1d6+1 = 4 + 1 = 5 »

Burly Goblin 2:The goblin near the worg finishes undoing the harness on the worg and scrambles into the cart.

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Trofim:Now this *bleep*er is starting to *bleep* me off!

Meany:What weapon was the goblin using?

Liatai:The goblins are all using longswords, sized for Small individuals.

Meany:So shortswords. :B

VAE:no, not really

VAE:like longsword toys


 * Meany double moves, trods on the dead goblin's face, and whistles at the worg. "Here, doggy."


 * Sszeyl double moves, trods on the dead goblin's face, and whistles at the worg. "Here, doggy."

Sszeyl:There we go. :B

Ghostwish:back

Sszeyl:End turn.

Ghostwish:'bearly standing' tech, pun included, but not dead.

Liatai:One sec, looking up rules to see if goblin longswords could easily be used as something else for a Medium humanoid... X3

Ghostwish:ack, I should have taken a 5 ft step. XD

VAE:it's in DMG in variant rules

TMG:a longsowrd sized for a Small-sized creature -could- be used as a shortsword for a medium-size creature

TMG:samage is same

Liatai:Ah, OK. It can be used, but you take a -2 penalty with it if you're using a weapon sized for someone 1 size categoty smaller than you.

VAE:by default, not, but you can decide to if you want

TMG:the damage is the same, the only thing it works for is proficiencies

TMG:but yeah, not default

VAE:IE you can play by a variant that allows it without penalty according to the tables

VAE:your call, really

Liatai:I say it would require a penalty. The grip would be all off for someone with larger hands. :B

Meany:Venezuela isn't charging to the rescue of her dying friend? :B

Liatai:Aaaanyway. Carrying on!

Liatai:Venezuela moves on Barbarus' turn, so...

Meany:Ah, mkay.

Gerta Blacksword:Can you attack from cover?

TMG:with a rangedweapon? yup

Drayco:That's a wierd thing for an NPC to say...

TMG:you can even melee with cover

Gerta Blacksword:No quotation marks, so it's not said. :P

Ghostwish:.... oh my god I am an idiot..

TMG:...what?

Gerta Blacksword:The half-orc snaps off a shot at the druid from behind the cart. « 1d20+4 = 15 + 4 = 19 » attack roll for « 1d6 = 1 » damage!

Ghostwish:Summon nature's ally II.. is a level TWO spell.

TMG:. ..


 * Fuzzy poofs? :B

Meany:...

VAE:no, the small bear just becomes even smaller XD

Ghostwish:Well, if you want to retcon this bit of insanity, sure. Replace him with a dire rat, and the crocidile with an eagle. XD

Meany:Aren't you ECL 2?

VAE:you don't get level II spells at ecl 2

VAE:like you don't get level IX spells at ecl 9

Ghostwish:No bears in summoner nature's ally 2. Druids get level 2 spells at level 3.

TMG:yeah

Worg:The worg takes the bait, snapping at the drow. « 1d20+7 = 9 + 7 = 16 » bite attack for « 1d6+4 = 1 + 4 = 5 » damage.

TMG:there's -caster- level, then there's -spell- level

TMG:caster level can go 1-20

TMG:spell levels only go 1-9

Sszeyl:Hit.

VAE:otherwise everyone in my game would be spamming Power Word Kill

Worg:CRUNCH.

VAE:and other nasty spells

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

VAE:even Fwuffy


 * Sszeyl is now short an arm. :B

Drayco:With impunity!

VAE:only to be expunged

Liatai:Not exactly, but it's hurting pretty badly. Might be broken. Probably is.

TMG:oh!@

Sszeyl:I feel I should ask about AoO.

TMG:My turn, right

Sszeyl:Given he moved into one of my squares.

Drayco:Yup. I just checked.

VAE:do not pass GO do not collect $200

Liatai:Unfortunately, you don't get one. You only get one if he moves out of one of your squares.

Ghostwish:And never if he takes a 5-foot step.

Gnogglebolt:Now things ar going from bad to worse, as it looks like the leader now is protected with the strongest members of this adversarial party.

Gnogglebolt:Stupid associates.

Liatai:XDDrayco:Summon Nature's Ally is 2nd level spell, min caster level is 3.

Ghostwish:Barshal is about to prove gnogglebolt very, very wrong. XD

Gnogglebolt:"No, ignore the meaningless goblins, you sargath fools! GET THE LEADER!"

Drayco:Now, if you had a SCROLL of it, you could've made a caster level check to TRY anyway...

Gnogglebolt:Another sling attack: « 1d20+2 = 5 + 2 = 7 »

Derish:"Now he wants to ignore the goblins. Fancy that."

Liatai:The sling stone shatters one of the humanoid skulls hanging off the cart, but does no damage to its intended target.

TMG:....

Trofim:I'll ignore them so badly their ribs will snap

Barbarus has received initiative.

TMG:seriously, ghost? O.o

Drayco:Animal Empathy check, Sszeyl!

TMG:this is what Gnogglebolt said the last TWO times...


 * Barbarus is pretty dang close to dead, so he grabs signal whistle and blows hard, signaling the violent ungalate to come to the rescue.

VAE:do derish and trofim look like the attentive types?

Venezuela:You rang, Master? « 1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16 » KICK.

Venezuela:« 1d4+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 »

Liatai:The goblin looks somewhat worse for the wear... and « 1d20 = 7 » Will save.

VAE:erm

Liatai:Oh no! The instrument of hoofy death is behind him! O.O He's visibly nervous.

Trofim has received initiative.

VAE:if Venezuela kicked him... why is she turning by her BACK

VAE:*isn't

Barbarus:I thought that was a she-goblin.

Liatai:Because I'm lazy and didn't want to spin the token. X3

Liatai:-- You're right!

Liatai:It IS a she-goblin! XD I forgot!

VAE:it's a she-half-orc

Liatai:There, now I won't forget. ^^

Liatai:Trofim, go!

Trofim:Now i'll ignore ya! « 1d20+4 = 2 + 4 = 6 »

Drayco:GROPE ATTACK THE HALF-ORC!

VAE:... he did

Liatai:Yes you will. X3

Drayco:You're gonna die anyway, so why not?

Elros has received initiative.

VAE:anyone noticed how i roll miserably on everything *not* related to beridze?


 * Elros fires at the goblin attacing Barbarus - « 1d20+5 = 8 + 5 = 13 » for 1d6] damage!

Elros:Whiff.

Meany:Anyone notice the donkey is doing better than all of us? :B

Derish:Ahem.

Barshal:Ahem.

Meany:Quite faildog.

Meany:quiet* :B

Drayco:Quiet Did-Not-Do-The-Research.

Barshal:Tell me to be quiet and I'll summon a pirahna in your pants.

Drayco:I'm not in the game, so neener neener NEE-NER.

Maximillian Toris:The human switches to another song, this time an old battle hymn. Inspire Courage! +1 on attack and damage rolls for the lot of ya!

Ghostwish:I so argued that with a DM once when we were playing drunk. He got me with the line of sight rule. XD

Drayco:That's the beauty of playing over the internet.

Celestial Dog:The shining white dog charges forward, coming up to Sszeyl and whirling to face the worg down.

Barshal has received initiative.

Meany:I was talking to faildog, not failforged. :B

Meany:I kid. :P

Barshal:Barshal first attempts to direct the rat's attack towards the burly goblin, a free action. « 1d20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23 » handle animal.

Celestial Dog:*Fine, see if I save you if you say I'm a faildog. :B*

Barshal:Dare we count that as a boost to the rat's attack? XD

Meany:ALL POWER TO THE HYPNODRUID.

Drayco:...Why is that dog still staring at me?

Barshal:Barshal purposefully strides forward, and then raises his arms in a mystical chant, weaving ancient runes through the air as he prepares to summon.. a monkey. Apparently, necromancy and the capture of wild animals can make for one mad druid. Who'd thought it? (Summon Nature's Ally, and here is the SRD with the only thing it's good for. Summons! http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/monkey.htm ) He summons the poo-flinger to 76,10. And gives it the order to attack the half-orc. Ooo! Ooo! EEEE! EEEE! End turn!

Meany:Not that one, the faildog who jumped the minions instead of the boss lady. :B

Barshal:#1 reason not make a druid mad: MONKIES. EVERYWHERE.

Barshal:OH, and where's that eagle? :D

Liatai:Since you were summoning an eagle... where did you want that eagle?

Barshal:er, crap.. right, just a few squares in front of Barshal, going after the worg. It's the max range of the spell.

Liatai:Can you point on the map?

Meany:Not even going to see if Doug is alright after being accosted? :B

Doug:*snort*

Barshal:Sorry, druid code. We have an order to things. And if I tell you why, I have to kill you. Sorry, druid code.

Drayco:...That's no eagle... That's a vulture...

Eagle:The eagle flies over and dive-bombs the worg! SKREE!! « 1d20+3 = 12 + 3 = 15 »

Meany:Is that a vulture? :B

Drayco:Yup.

Liatai:Sure, be picky. XD

Drayco:Red head.

Meany::PLiatai:I was trying to pick a token that would be easy to see and I didn't see the red head. Don't judge me. XD

VAE:what red head?

Drayco:Zoom in of the bird.

Drayco:*on

VAE:it's a condor

Barshal:So be it, it gets a disease with its attacks. :D

Eagle:THERE. Happy now? XD

Drayco:Yes, thank you.

TMG:oh crap

Derish has received initiative.

TMG:browser locked up

TMG:my guess is maptool isn't far behjind

Derish:Derish swings his longsword at the Burly Goblin! « 1d20+6 = 17 + 6 = 23 » for « 1d8+4 = 1 + 4 = 5 » damage! "I love this bard!"

Derish:end turn.

Liatai:For being burly, it didn't have much staying power.

She-Goblin:The she-goblin has had ENOUGH of this mule. She swings at Venezuela - « 1d20+4 = 2 + 4 = 6 » for « 1d6+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 » damage!

Meany:The fact that I can move the goblin wagon worries me. :B

Drayco:Oh cool! Sommon Nature's ally 2 call in Hippogriffs!

She-Goblin:Her fear of being kicked again takes the edge off her skill, though.

Burly Goblin 2:The goblin in the cart swings at the shining white dog - « 1d20+4 = 7 + 4 = 11 » for « 1d6+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 » damage!

Drayco:Summon Nature's ally 5 can call in a griffon!

Celestial Dog:The dog sidesteps the blow easily.

Sszeyl has received initiative.


 * Sszeyl grapples this worg.

Ghostwish:And that's why you don't tick off druids. One second you're up against 5 druids, and the next you've got 30 something critters intent on EATING You.

Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18 »

Liatai:... what. XD

Liatai:You do realize you take an AaO for attempting to start a grapple, yes?

Sszeyl:Oh fine. :B

Liatai:Plus, you've got a likely-broken arm, for crying out loud! XD

VAE:also, if it hits grapple fails

Drayco:Ghost: WORSE. THe higher levels allow summoning of multiple lower-lvled creatures.

Sszeyl:The tessen is exotic, thus has a -4 penalty, si?

Ghostwish:No, that's exactly what I meant.. and since the summons are 1round+level, they STAY too. :D

Liatai:Unless you're proficient in its use.

Sszeyl:« 1d20 = 2 »


 * Sszeyl swings and misses.

Drayco:Oh, OUCH.

Sszeyl:End.

TMG:ghost; a wizard or sorc focusing on Summon Monster spells works the same way

Gerta Blacksword:The half-orc snaps off another shot at the advancing construct! « 1d20+4 = 1 + 4 = 5 » for « 1d6 = 4 » damage!

Gerta Blacksword:The arrow pierces a pumpkin.

Worg:The worg seems to take personal umbrage at this shining white creature in its vicinity. « 1d20+7 = 20 + 7 = 27 »

TMG:....oh geeze.

Worg:« 1d20+7 = 18 + 7 = 25 » crit confirm.

TMG:OH GEEZE.

Barshal:The construct looks over at the pumpkin, and then looks back at the half-orc, eyes a glow. "You dare defile nature's orchard!? You PERISH this day."

Worg:« 1d6+4 = 3 + 4 = 7 » damage times 2 to the summon!


 * Celestial Dog howls in pain, then disappears in a puff of smoke.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, seeing Sszeyl and Barbarus being assaulted from multiple directions, is on the edge of despair. Oh, Garl above, why are these silly tall-legs incapable of the tactical concept of 'cut off the head, and the body dies'?

Gnogglebolt:Now they're injured when this fight could have been over already...

Liatai:... I just thought of something.

Liatai:Does Gnogglebot have ranks in Handle Animal?

Liatai:Or Ride?

Gnogglebolt:He contiunes his advance, flinging another stone at Blacksword, finally within a comfortable range. « 1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14 » (nope, nothing like that)

Gnogglebolt:(not even class skills)

Liatai:Aw, oh well.

Liatai:That's another broken skull on the cart!

Barbarus has received initiative.


 * Barbarus whistles again.

TMG:what the frack

TMG:can't get to my token

TMG:stupid horse

Liatai:XDTMG:there we go

Liatai:Did Gnogglebolt just throw the horse? XD

TMG:Noooooo xD


 * VAE was skimming through the Tomb of Horrors (original ADnD one )

TMG:...go ahead and put it back, meany...

TMG:yes, we know the drow is so strong he's telekentic. enough :P


 * Venezuela obliges with a kick! « 1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12 »

Meany:I has ownership. :P

VAE:i so must include some stuff from it in the final dungeon for the current DnDMFA

Venezuela:Unfortunately, the goblin seems to be learning how to avoid mule kicks.

Barbarus:« 1d20 = 2 »


 * Barbarus tries a swing himself, but fails. :P

Trofim has received initiative.

Liatai:Go cleric go -- er. Go, "wizard," go! XD

Trofim:Trofim, seeing the goblin fall, dashes off to help Sszeyl not get killed by the worg

Trofim:Bloody hell! can't you *beep*s hit straight?

VAE:hypocritical comment for the win xD

VAE:end turn

Sszeyl:"Would you like to try having your arm bitten off then fight a bit, hmm?"

Trofim:That's why we use weapons, dummy

Trofim:they are harder to bite

TMG:...is or is not talking a free action? >.>

Trofim:What the hell, beridze.. he doesn't know weapons, beer or apples.. what did they teach him at home ?

VAE:it is

TMG:I don't think so...

VAE:talking always was one

Liatai:Did Trofim do a double-move?

TMG:DM? :B

VAE:he ran

Liatai:Yeah, talking's a free action. X3

Elros has received initiative.


 * Elros fires at the she-goblin! « 1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11 »

Elros:Whiff.


 * Maximillian Toris moves forward, keeping up the battle hymn, eyes locked on the battle.

Barshal has received initiative.

Barshal:Since the poor dire rat can only move 40 ft, and does not have any viable targets to charge at, he vanishes. Boo hoo. But, the eagle should be continuing its assualt at the worg, and the half-orc now has a monkey to contend with! Get em, Mr. Giggles!

Drayco:That reminds me to invoke Anime Death rules someday...

Barshal:Barshal advances on the half-orc like a specter of wrath, weaving ancient runes through the air as he moves, and then thrusts his arm towards the half-orc. An explosion of light erupts near the half-orc, a blinding shade of neon green. Fort save, DC14 or dazzled!

Liatai:... There are no monkeys here. >.>

Liatai:How odd.

Ghostwish:Blasphamy!!!! :O

Drayco:I ate them when the rest of weren't looking.

Liatai:One sec, I'll make a monkey token. X3 In the meantime...

VAE:what anime death rules?

Barshal:Barshal phases through the fourth wall for a moment, and materilizes a pirahna in Drayco's pants. Then, he returns to the 'real' world.

Drayco:No dying until AFTER the villian/character has finished their death speech.

Gerta Blacksword:« 1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12 » Fort

VAE:oh! not only there

Drayco:I have mine ALL planned out...

VAE:see, i got a speech in one game we were together with Saph in

Drayco:"This is song that doesn't eeeeeeeend!"

VAE:I invoked a Discworld piece of lore - death must personally come for a dying wizard

Drayco:*the song, dang typos.

VAE:so in the meantime his spirit got to make a comment

Monkey:Monkey goes here?

Monkey:Where does monkey go? Monkey want know. :o

Ghostwish:That's actually out of range of the spell. XD

Ghostwish:There ya go. :D

Monkey:Monkey go here!

Ghostwish:GET EM MONKEY!

Caswin:Fix her wagon!

Monkey:Monkey go Hulk on half-orc! « 1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12 »

Monkey:Monkey misses.

Derish has received initiative.

Caswin:Good try, Monkey.

Eagle:Oh! Forgot the eagle! « 1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10 » « 1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14 » « 1d20-2 = 14 - 2 = 12 »

Eagle:« 1d4 = 3 »

VAE:maptool objects finished DL


 * VAE is gleeful

Liatai:Gnoll time! :3

TMG:keh heh heh

TMG:found a giant sticker from a food package

TMG:just for the heck of it, snuck up behind my siste and meant to stick it on her back

Derish:Derish runs south-east having finished the goblins off at his position, and eager for more blood.. Is he.. panting as he runs, with his tongue lulling out? Oh gods. End turn, I can't stand it anymore!!

TMG:her ponytail got in the way xD

VAE:like this ... http://intertuberecords.memebase.com/2010/12/02/viral-music-videos-the-happiest-song-in-the-world/

VAE:warning, your intellect might commit suicide after listening

Drayco:I want that that guy is on!

Drayco:*what

Sszeyl:"Wait a tic...where's my cart?!"

VAE:he's on YouTube!

VAE:see? your intellect dropped!

Drayco:...The DRUGS VAE. I want the DRUGS he's on.

TMG:lawlz xD

TMG:Oh, derish ended turn, I think


 * She-Goblin attacks the mule again, shouting something in Goblin! « 1d20+4 = 13 + 4 = 17 » for « 1d6+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »


 * Venezuela brays as the sword leaves a cut in her side.


 * Burly Goblin 2 swipes at the eagle - « 1d20+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14 »

Sszeyl:Drow kick!

Liatai:That's a hit!

Liatai:Kick that worg! >:D

Sszeyl:« 1d3+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 »

Worg:The worg yelps as the drow's foot connects with its lower jaw, before its jaws clack together.

Drayco:Kicks don't even work that great against DOGS...

VAE:doesn't that mean he gets his leg scratched on his lower jaw's teeth?

Gerta Blacksword:"Arrrgh! Get it OFF!" The half-orc tries to grab the monkey and throw it away.

Drayco:A worg is a freaking WOLF on STEROIDS...

Liatai:No, he kicked the lower jaw, kicking upwards, causing the mouth to close.

TMG:shoot, browser's going down in a sec

TMG:hope MT doesn't follow...

TMG:oh sweet, didn't loose browser. Nevermind, carry on

Gerta Blacksword:« 1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15 » melee touch attack to grab the monkey. « 1d20+4 = 9 + 4 = 13 » monkey AoO.

Gerta Blacksword:« 1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12 » Blacksword grapple check. « 1d20-12 = 4 - 12 = -8 » monkey grapple check.

Gerta Blacksword:The half-orc is now grappling the monkey!

Gerta Blacksword:... bet that's a phrase you don't hear often. :B

TMG:heh heh :3

VAE:XD!

Drayco:Wake me up when she's grapping a joystick...

Worg:The worg snaps at the drow - « 1d20+5 = 7 + 5 = 12 »

Worg:... uh-oh.

Sszeyl:Hit.

Worg:« 1d6+4 = 4 + 4 = 8 »

Drayco:Oh... NOT good...

TMG:Whoooooooo o.o

TMG:Drow's down, but not out...

Sszeyl:-5 hp.

Worg:CRUNCH. The worg's teeth close around the leg that just kicked it and clamp down.

Worg:That's a lot of blood...

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Drayco:No, he's out.

TMG:but now he's gotta roll 1d100 every turn and get within 10% to stablize

Drayco:Soon, it'll be permanent...

TMG:or lose 1 hp per round

TMG:drayco, I said "down"

TMG:down as in unconcious, and "out" as in dead

Liatai:He's got the cleric right next to him! :B

Ghostwish:The cleric is -right- behind him. He's fine. :P

TMG:exactly my point x3

Liatai:Be back in a bit, got to let the dog out. Be back in a bit.

Liatai:... I mean, carry on. XD

TMG:Oh! Gnogglebolt's turn, hmm

VAE:who let the worgs out! Ow Ow Ow Ow !

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, as he's running for Blacksword, sees Sszeyl fall out of the corner of his eye. However, the human is also right next to him, so Gnogglebolt -hopes- the human will be smart enough to cover Sszeyl, at least.

Gnogglebolt:...Yeah, right. Not much that can be done, though.

Gnogglebolt:With Blacksword now wrestling with a monkey clawing at her face, Gnogglebolt picks up the pace, getting very close. "Take her out Now! Hurry!" As he drops his sling and starts reaching for his morningstar...

Gnogglebolt:end turn

TMG:eh, evern without Liatai, barbarus can still go

TMG:though if he makes an attack that we're not sure of the result, then we'll have to wait for that

Barbarus:"You...BITCH!"

Barbarus:« 1d20 = 5 » Attack, and of course whistle. :P

TMG:oh well, we know -that- failed...

TMG:attack for venezuela, or has Liatai been doing that?

Ghostwish:VAE! Heal the black elf! :P

Venezuela:« 1d20+4 = 1 + 4 = 5 »

Ghostwish:If someone wants to- oh hello.

Liatai:Hi. X3

Meany:Yo.

VAE:wait.. he has NO attack modifier?

Meany:Not for unarmed strike.

TMG:not that it'd help now--

TMG:wait

Barbarus has received initiative.

VAE:where is his weapon?

TMG:what?

VAE:barbarus

TMG:barb was unarmed striking?

Meany:Si.

TMG:of course he's still got his bonus!

Liatai:His dagger is in the she-goblin's leg.

Meany:No he doesn't.

TMG:it's just provoke an AoO

TMG:yes, he does...you keep your bonus when unarmed striking

Trofim has received initiative.

Meany:No BaB, no strength bonus.

TMG:it's gwetting an AoO that happens when you don't have Improved Unarmed Strike

Ghostwish:Why are we debating this.. his attack was pitiful.

Trofim:*bleep*ing Drow!

Trofim:Trofim takes out Beridze and touches the drow with the skull. "Beridze, speak the healing words!"

TMG:okay, taking debate to whispers

VAE:1d8+2 at second level, right?

Drayco:Does Barb have Weapon Finesse?

Liatai:Yep!

VAE:take it to IRC tehc

VAE:so all of us can see

Liatai:Oh, yep to VAE.

TMG:oh, okay

Trofim:« 1d8+2 = 3 + 2 = 5 »

Trofim:*bleep* .. could have done *bleep*ing better Beridze!

Liatai:The drow is now conscious, but very, very weak.

Elros has received initiative.

Trofim:at least he won't *bleep*ing bleed out like a *bleep*ing pig

VAE:MEANY MODIFY YOUR HP

VAE:IT'S 0 NOW

Elros:Crossbow bolt from the blue! Er... from the green, because Elros's hair is dyed green... ^^' « 1d20+5 = 16 + 5 = 21 » for « 1d8 = 2 » damage!


 * Maximillian Toris stops singing and runs over to get closer to the people who need help. The song's effects continue for 5 rounds more.

Barshal has received initiative.

Barshal:This is the last round for the eagle, so let's hope it whacks that worg good. And now, a valiant battle between a half-orc and a monkey!

Monkey:Monkey no like you! « 1d20-12 = 6 - 12 = -6 » grapple, opposed by « 1d20+4 = 6 + 4 = 10 »

Monkey:Monkey fails...

Barshal:Barshal comes up onto the half-orc.. and promptly swings his staff in an angry arc! « 1d20+3 = 6 + 3 = 9 » for « 1d6+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 » damage! "My compliments to the origin of this fine tune.." He comments. I am pretty sure grappling opponents get penalties to their AC, but I cannot remember what. End turn!

TMG:yup, grappling opponents...one moment

Eagle:The eagle skrees angrily and claws at the worg... « 1d20+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 » « 1d20+3 = 13 + 3 = 16 » « 1d20-2 = 14 - 2 = 12 »

TMG:no dex bonus to AC

Eagle:« 1d4 = 3 » That right claw seems to be a killer.

TMG:that's it

Derish has received initiative.

Derish:Derish comes running up, making a double move, and puts himself in an advantageous position. End turn!

Burly Goblin 2:The goblin scrambles over the back of the cart and tries to thwack Barshal's head with a morningstar. BONK. « 1d20+2 = 2 + 2 = 4 »

Burly Goblin 2:"...." The goblin grins nervously.

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Liatai:Sszeyl, you can move if you wish.

TMG:single move or standard actions, anything strenuous puts you at -1 automatically

Barshal:Barshal hears the WHIFF of the star missing his head, and turns to glare at the goblin. "You are next." He says simply.

TMG:unfortunately, that means you can't retreat without an AoO...

Ghostwish:Withdraw.

TMG:withdraw means double-move action

VAE:also, it means if you get hit Trofim gets pissed XD

VAE:5 foot step?

TMG:Oh!

TMG:of course, five foot step

TMG:he'd just have to hope it doesn't follow him...


 * Sszeyl makes rude gesture at Trofim in Drow Sign Language.

Ghostwish:5 ft step, then move. ;)

Sszeyl:End turn.

TMG:ghost; actually

Trofim:Hey you *bleep*

Liatai:... what? XD

TMG:you cannot fivefoot step and make a normal move in the same turn

Liatai:Not moving?

TMG:for that very obvious exploit

Liatai:The worg is right on top of you...

Liatai:... well, not literally. :B

TMG:and yeah, not moving at all, meany? o.O

VAE:why would he make a normal move then?

TMG:you can five-foot step...

VAE:take the 5 foot step, dummy!

Sszeyl:I'm on the ground.

VAE:someone is bein' suicidal today

Sszeyl:It'd take a full turn to stand up.

VAE:you can crawl

Drayco:Oh yeah... No "stepping"...

VAE:that's probably hwat it represents XD

Liatai:Yeah, I'd allow you to crawl. ^^'

Drayco:I think I 5-foot crawl would... Oh, Nvm.

Ghostwish:.. crawling, sadly, draws an AoO.

Sszeyl:Fine. Will you move on now? >:E :P

TMG:ah, meany, you are mistaken

Ghostwish:But since the DM is trying to save your ass, I say roll with it. XD

TMG:standing up is not fullround

TMG:it is a move-action though, so that would have been all you could do...


 * Gerta Blacksword grabs the monkey... opposed « 1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15 » « 1d20-12 = 18 - 12 = 6 »

TMG:so yes, crawl, get away

VAE:i'd say lay low then

TMG:we're giving it to you

TMG:just take it meany :B

VAE:if you stand up, the worg will chomp you down

VAE:Even in my games you can 5-foot crawl XD - seen an action movie?

VAE:you can move a short distance not letting down your guard

Gerta Blacksword:... and THROWS the monkey.

Monkey:Monkey no like yoooooou! *thrown*

Sszeyl:The next time I decide to not take the bloody motion action, I expect you all to shush and accept it. :/

VAE:a short distance *crawling of sorts* - rolling is better term

Liatai:Okay.

VAE:Allright, have fun dying then

Liatai:Sorry. ^^'

Sszeyl::PTMG:^ what danman said

Ghostwish:What you expect and how insane I am are two entirely different pickles.


 * Ghostwish explodes into a shower of porn magazines.

Meany:You two just brought in ten minute turn disease. Congrats.

VAE:you are alive at the end of it

TMG:frankly, meany; it's stupid things like that that GIVE the DM practical permission to off the character...

Gerta Blacksword:The half-orc then draws her sword and stands facing the oncoming adventurers.

TMG:but yes, let us continue

Ghostwish:Please, no one here has been faster than me, I'm apparently the only one who types up their actions beforehand. :P

TMG:(liatai; actually, disengaging from the grapple is fullround)

TMG:(Blacksword can't draw it until next turn :P )

Liatai:Ah, OK.

Liatai:Disregard the drawing. X3

Drayco:So, dogpile 'er now!

Worg:The worg snaps at the nearest target - a certain catfolk covered in tasty, tasty bones. >:9

She-Goblin:The goblin looks rather cross-eyed from the kick... One more hit should send her to the ground.

Ghostwish:u done gawt kikked by dat dere hoars, boi.

TMG:gurl, you mean :P

Ghostwish:gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrlllll

TMG:is barbarus himself going to take his turn?

TMG:Maybe interpose himself in between Sszeyl and the worg to cover the drow's ass? :B

Maximillian Toris:She lands a good kick on the human's shin for « 1d2+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 » damage, but the human clocks her with a punch to the side of the head. The goblin falls unconscious.

Burly Goblin 2:« 1d6 = 1 »

Barshal:Ack! A hit!

Barshal:... a pathetic one, but still a hit!

Barshal:Barshal growls, sounding something like a diesal engine, as the morningstar damages his shoulder.

Liatai:The morningstar goes *tink* on the wildforged druid's outer shell.

 * Gerta Blacksword draws her sword and swings at the nearest thing she can see to a warrior -- the gnoll. « 1d20+5 = 16 + 5 = 21 »

VAE:heh.. except for the initiative roll.. i still have to make a better than average roll tonight

Ghostwish:Really Tech, trying to advise people who don't ask for advice is silly.

Gerta Blacksword:« 1d8+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 » damage!

Derish:Ho boy.. that made the gnoll mad..

VAE:better than that, all except two were in the lowest quartile

Worg:The worg, meanwhile, is not exactly happy either. He whirls around to snap at Trofim - « 1d20+7 = 13 + 7 = 20 »

Worg:« 1d6+4 = 5 + 4 = 9 » damage!

Liatai:It's still over half HP, though.

Ghostwish:You're so nice.. I only tell my players that stuff in they're in deep sh*t.

Liatai:Gnogglebolt? :3

TMG:oh!

Ghostwish:... which they often are. XD

TMG:My bad, sorry

TMG:distracted by MythBusters xD

Liatai:XD A worthy distraction!

VAE:the mule

Drayco:Times like this is when I love Magic Missile... At lvl 2 it's a guananteed 4 damage.

Venezuela:« 1d4+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 »

Ghostwish:... oh my god that mule rules. XD

VAE:it's getting my high rolls

VAE:all of them

VAE:because she has the same to hit modifier

VAE:listen, you mule?

Liatai:Oh! Barbarus, you can probably retrieve your dagger now.

VAE:that roll, it was mine!

VAE:XDDrayco:Hey, are those hooves *keen*?

Venezuela:Haaaaaw.


 * Barbarus does so.

TMG:cas; you disconnected from the IRC this time o.o

Barbarus:Worg dead or not dead? :P

Liatai:Worg not dead.

Barbarus:Can I still chuck the dagger at it?

Worg:Worg want eat cleric and cat. And maybe mule. OM NOM NOM. (Yes. X3)

Barbarus:« 1d20+2 = 13 + 2 = 15 »

Drayco:...Is that wise?

Drayco:Seriously, you're 5 ft away.

Ghostwish:I thought ranged attacks in melee were AoOable

VAE:he hit, so it is

Barbarus:« 1d4 = 1 »

Barbarus::PTMG:yeah, actually

TMG:Ghost is right

Liatai:THOCK. The dagger sticks into the beast's side! And thank you, Ghost, although I doubt Barbarus will be thanking you. >:3 « 1d20+7 = 5 + 7 = 12 »

Liatai:THWACK! Roll damage!

Trofim:« 1d10+1 = 7 + 1 = 8 » damage is done as the head lands on another head

Drayco:...As well as the mule that's kicking more butt than most of the PCs...

Worg:The worg yelps in pain as the flail lashes across its muzzle!

Elros has received initiative.


 * Elros lets a crossbow bolt fly toward the worg - « 1d20+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 »

Elros:Whiff! It hits a branch in the tree.

Drayco:Ouch...

VAE:Wrong direction!

TMG:...I am soooo glad friendly fire is not a default rule :U

VAE:the worg is in *front* of you

Liatai:Yep!

Derish:Derish carefully manuvers in combat. "You'll pay for that." Derish says as he swings his longsword in a deadly arc! « 1d20+6 = 17 + 6 = 23 » for « 1d8+4 = 7 + 4 = 11 » damage! End turn!

Liatai:A wonderfully solid hit, Derish!

Sszeyl:End turn.

VAE:the worg didn't get fisted today


 * Gerta Blacksword brings her sword around, all attention on the gnoll. With a howling battle cry, she swings! « 1d20+5 = 2 + 5 = 7 »

Ghostwish:XD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ghostwish:Crit!

Venezuela:Mule crit confirm. :o « 1d20+4 = 6 + 4 = 10 »

Barbarus:No confirm.

Drayco:+2 flanking bonus!

Venezuela:Nope, just a hit. « 1d4+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 »

Barbarus:AC is 14.


 * Caswin cheers.

Drayco:Still, you could add it.

Barbarus:To eleven? :U

TMG:ack, wait!

TMG:I forgot to add Max's +1 from the song

TMG:did that make a difference?

Liatai:Nope.

TMG:ah, darn

Drayco:With the flanking... ALMOST...

Drayco:Now, Sseyzl would've MET the AC...

Barbarus:...

Drayco:(+2 flanking, +1 Bard Music.)

Barbarus::PVAE:wait

VAE:i should have been addign the music too?

Liatai:Yep, unless Trofim's ears were plugged up so much he was completely deaf. :B

Drayco:A flanking bonus is Circumstance. They ALWAYS stack.

Drayco:Bardic Music is Morale-based.

Barbarus:Less mechanical talk.

Barbarus:More action.

Liatai:Your turn. :B

Derish:Derish glares at gnogglebolt.. "Why did you move!? I was almost flanking!!"

Drayco:Do you WANNA spend forever trying to kill the worg or not?

TMG:...

TMG:ghost


 * Barbarus takes a five foot step, intending to get at his sword and bow on Venezuela next ruen.

Ghostwish:That's a tree.

Liatai:*snerk*

TMG:hmm?

TMG:Oh, then you can't move at all

Ghostwish:*points north of derish*

TMG:you can't move -through- the tree or Gerta's square

Barbarus:turn*

Barbarus:Speaking of, end.

TMG:and diagonal doesn't work here because it's a corner

Trofim:Trofim says nothing, just swings with all force « 1d20+5 = 11 + 5 = 16 »

Liatai:Hang on, had to rescue an audience member from the tree. >.>

TMG:so, you're stuck anyway :B

Liatai:Solid hit!

Trofim:« 1d10+1 = 6 + 1 = 7 » As the steel bashes once again into the worg's skull

Ghostwish:Tech, there's a time for D&D mechanics, and then there's a time to realize that's not a corner because trees are typically -round-.

Ghostwish:Derish is gonna scrape, litterally, by it.

TMG:it's still occupying the square as an obstacle

Meany:Gray means unconcious, si?

TMG:then you need Escape Artist or Tumble

TMG:EA is used for squeezing through spaces

Worg:The worg's eyes roll back in its head as the weapon makes contact with its skull.

Elros has received initiative.

Trofim:Now, you die

Ghostwish:When did I say squeeze!?

Meany:If that boy steals Sszeyl's second pelt. :P


 * Elros fires at the goblin in the cart. « 1d20+6 = 1 + 6 = 7 »

TMG:Ghostwish: Derish is gonna scrape, litterally, by it.

Ghostwish:Scrape.

TMG:You just can't do it

Ghostwish:Says you?

TMG:unless DM calls otherwise

Elros:THOCK. That's another broken skull on the wagon.

Ghostwish:DM, any problem with Derish's manuver? He'll have a bit of bark on the back of his armor, and maybe an angry druid after him. XD


 * Maximillian Toris crosses over behind the wagon, ready to intercept any runners. He draws his rapier.

Liatai:No problems!

Barshal has received initiative.

Barshal:Barshal attacks again, swinging his staff once more at the half-orc. « 1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10 » for « 1d6+3 = 4 + 3 = 7 » damage! End turn!

Derish has received initiative.

TMG:alright then, may I retract my five-foot step

TMG:?TMG:because I didn't realize that tree was there

Liatai:Unfortunately, no.

Derish:Derish carefully manuvers in combat. Derish then swings his longsword in a deadly arc! « 1d20+6 = 3 + 6 = 9 » for « 1d8+4 = 3 + 4 = 7 » damage! End turn!

Ghostwish:UGH! You've all infected me with your bad rolls!


 * Gerta Blacksword ducks expertly under the blow, laughing loudly.


 * Burly Goblin 2 attempts to play the drums on the druid again. « 1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11 »

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Burly Goblin 2:*bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk*


 * Sszeyl brings a coup de gras down on the worg with palm thrust to the skull.

Drayco:...Is that staff a quarterstaff?

Barshal:"I am going to skin you!!" And no, it's actually a club. He's using the big knot on the end as the weapon.

Sszeyl:End turn.

Trofim:Hey! that was *my* kill!

Gerta Blacksword:The half-orc parries with her own longsword stike, black blade slick with gnoll blood. « 1d20+5 = 5 + 5 = 10 » for « 1d8+1 = 4 + 1 = 5 » damage!

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Derish:"What's wrong? Luck ran out?"

Gnogglebolt:Since I cannot explain in-character why Gnogglebolt moved with that tree there that I, OOC, did not see, pretend it never happen (fourtunately, it wouldn't have mattered in Derish's attack anyway) Moving back and taking a swing with flanking bonus: « 1d20+3 = 8 + 3 = 11 »

TMG:end turn

Gerta Blacksword:"I'm only getting warmed up." The half-orc grunts, wearing an adrenaline-fuelled grin. "What about you? Blood loss making you slow?" She coolly evades the gnome's strike, not even looking at the short fellow.

Barbarus has received initiative.

Drayco:...Remind me to grab... Oh, that's RIGHT...

Drayco:Warlocks get to hybrid with a prestige classes in Complete Mage...

VAE:warlocks also get mystic theurge or one other similar


 * Barbarus goes to Venezuela and hus her face. "Oh thank Yevon you're safe." Then off he goes to find his bow and arrows.

VAE:erm eldritch for mystic substitute

Barbarus:I say Yevon because I have no idea what oathes catfolk use. :P

Venezuela:*Haaaaw. :3*

Trofim has received initiative.

Barbarus:hugs*

Drayco:Eldritch Theurge and one that combines arcane spellcasting + Warlock advancement.

VAE:eldritch theurge is interestingly the arcane one

VAE:the other one was the warlock + divine

TMG:less talk, more turn, danman :U

Liatai:They typically make oaths in ancestors' names, animal names, tribal names, spirits' names, or in Obad-Hai's name if they're religious. :3

Trofim:Trofim walks over to the other burly goblin and whacks his head without a greeting « 1d20+5 = 5 + 5 = 10 »

VAE:ack

Liatai:Sorry, you just broke one of Beridze's buddies on the side of the cart. :B

Elros has received initiative.


 * Elros fires into the cart - « 1d20+6 = 12 + 6 = 18 »

Trofim:*bleep*, not again

Elros:« 1d8 = 7 »

Liatai:Finally, the goblin goes down! XD


 * Maximillian Toris strikes up the battle hymn again, this time in a pianissimo to avoid drawing too much attention away from the fight.

Barshal has received initiative.

Barshal:Barshal attacks again, swinging his staff once more. « 1d20+3 = 14 + 3 = 17 » for « 1d6+3 = 6 + 3 = 9 » damage! End turn!

Gerta Blacksword:The half-orc was so focused on the gnoll that she never noticed the staff coming in from behind. The knob on the end of the staff makes contact with the warrior's head, and she crumples.

Liatai:Victory! :D

Derish:"So much for your luck."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sees the half-orc finally go down. He whips around wildily, shouting a single word in Goblin--when then gets cut off in his throat.

Trofim:That's about all of them! Bloody about time.

Derish:"Well, I would say this was an astounding success. No losses on our part, and not a single survivor!"

Gnogglebolt:"Gnogglebolt lets out a strange gargling sound, then starts moving "CHeck for surviviors." He says, moving around.

Barshal:"Derish."

Trofim:Trofim rests against the side of the cart- he is heavily injured from the fight with the worg

Gnogglebolt:"It was not supposed to happen like this.." he mutters as he goes.


 * Barbarus seeing the last one go down. Relaxes, then tries to find something-anything to clean up Venezuela's cut.

Derish:"Hrm? Yes?" Derish says, looking up from checking his wounds.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt starts checking goblins for any that are still breathing


 * Sszeyl whistles.

Barshal:"What did you do to that tree!?"


 * Maximillian Toris joins Gnogglebolt in looking for survivors, but also calls out "Does anyone need healing?"

Derish:"What? It's only bark. It will grow back."


 * Sszeyl checks this one. :P

Barbarus:"Venezuela's bleeding! D: Help her, please?"

Barshal:"So it would be allright for me to skin you alive, seeing how it would just grow back?"

Liatai:There is only one goblin breathing, and the half-orc is still alive, but bleeding out.

Gnogglebolt:Which goblin is still breathing?

Sszeyl:"This one's alive."

Liatai:The she-goblin.

Trofim:Trofim inspects the mule.

Gnogglebolt:"Alright, bind her wounds, but no need to heal her." Gnogglebolt starts looking around for strips of cloth for improptu banages.


 * Barbarus which sets Barbarus into kill mode. Out comes the silver longsword, and he marches over to the she-goblin.

VAE:why don't i own trofim anymore?

Maximillian Toris:"She's going to bleed out soon if we -- whoa WHOA, hang on there!"

VAE:oh, i do


 * Barbarus ker-swing!


 * Maximillian Toris is in the same space as Barbarus, so he pushes the catfolk out of the way.

Maximillian Toris:"What are you doing?!" Seems he thought you were swinging at him. :B

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt stares breifly at the catfolk, but returns to tying cloth around the goblin's bleeding wounds. (taking 10 on a heal check?)

Gnogglebolt:(no modifier)

Trofim:Why the *bleep* do you bother with the *bleep*in goblin scum?

Derish:"This is why I do not listen to him. He is clearly insane."

Gnogglebolt:"I'm not asking you to heal them. And I don't care because they are goblins."

Trofim:They tried to kill us

Gnogglebolt:(was gnogglebolt successful?)

Liatai:Yes!

Barbarus:"That bitch tried to kill me, tried to kill Venezuela!"

Trofim:the *bleep*ing worg nearly got me, and same with Sszeyl

Sszeyl:"A near miss is still a miss, Trofim."

Gnogglebolt:Finishing tying it up, Gnogglebolt stands up to his (short) full height, looks at trofim, then jabs towards Blacksword. "Because she told them to."


 * Sszeyl goes to check on Doug. "Hey, how are you?"

Gnogglebolt:"And we al really must have some words on our cooperative abilities."

Barshal:"Speaking of who.." Barshal says, and brings the heavy end of his club up, preparing to finish the half-orc..

Doug:*it was scary ;o; The horse snuffles the drow's ear.*

Gnogglebolt:"I mean honestly. Have you silly tall-legs not heard of the phrase 'cut off the head, and the body dies?'" Gnogglebolt looks over to see Barshal over Blacksword. He gets a grim expression, but does nothing.


 * Sszeyl pets the horse. "There there, all the goblins are dead, or nearly so. Want some apples?"

Barshal:*KRUNCH*

Barshal:"And so ends one who would defile nature."

Doug:*okay, apples make things better*

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt steps back, taking stock of everything. "I mean, look at what just happened here."

Barshal:Barshal looks up, and comes over to the catfolk's donkey of death. "How is your animal?"


 * Sszeyl goes to pick up the worg corpse. "To be fair, I was trying to keep the ramapaging monster controlled first."

Gnogglebolt:"You all fought through essentially fodder, getting injured int he process. Especially you, Sszeyl. I was worried for a moment."

Sszeyl:Then the Drow leads the horse back to the cage room.

Liatai:Does anyone search the cart?

Derish:That is actually what I was just about to have Derish do.

Gnogglebolt:"Did it not occure to any of you that if the powerful leader was no longer a factor, the goblins would have given up? Would that not have been easier and less risky?"

Barbarus: (( speaking of carts ))

Derish:He carefully looks it over, taking a 20, which results in a 21.

Barbarus: (( Where's Sszeyls? :P ))

Liatai:Down by the cage room, still.

Derish:"Again, silly gnome, you are placing intelligence in unintelligent creatures."

Liatai:OK, long loot list coming! These goblins were apparently looking to move in, and brought most of their loot and gear with them.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt gives Derish a dirty look. "I'm not so sure you are a very good judge of intelligent."


 * Barbarus slumps. "She's bleeding, and I'm trying to be calm but she has all that adrenaline going through her and when she comes down she's going to be in so much pain and I don't know what to do. D8!"

Gnogglebolt:In the meantime, Gnogglebolt steps around Blacksword's body.

Liatai:Let's start with the gold. 8,000 CP, 3,500 SP, and 3,670 GP.

Gnogglebolt:He looks for a unique, identifying personal effect...but of course. The sword. Gnogglebolt cautiosly gets close to gerta's body, graps the sword, and hefts it."

Maximillian Toris:"Okay, okay, let's just put the sword away and take a look..." ^^;

Gnogglebolt:"I think those goblins back at the hideout will be a little more cooperative."

Liatai:The sword is indeed very hefty, and very well-made, if a little big for Gnogglebolt.

Derish:"You know, if I didn't pity you, I'd attack you for that insult.. But, you are the one insulting a large, armored warrior three times your size..."

Liatai:Okay, back to loot.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt tries to fit the sword into his pack.

Liatai:It's almost taller than Gnogglebolt is. X3

Gnogglebolt:...he -straps- it to his pack


 * Barbarus drops the silver sword.

Derish:Derish looks back to the cart.. "Lots of currency here. What funny little bits of metal they are."


 * Barbarus ears perk at the mention of money, but slump again.

Liatai:A pouch containing a pale white translucent stone, a clear violet stone, an aquamarine stone, and a black pearl...

Gnogglebolt:"Ah, funds. Very good."

Meany:DM, help?

Maximillian Toris:"All right, let's see here..."

Liatai:What's the matter?

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks for any large sack they can fit in, if they already weren't in sacks or bags.

Meany:Lost Sszeyl and Doug somewhere in the black between here and the cave.

Liatai:They were in sacks, and there's more coming, hang on! XD

Meany:Also, the worg goes with Sszeyl. :P

Trofim:Trofim won't be giving it easily

Liatai:OK, more coming. 3 vials of light blue liquid...

Ghostwish:kitty gonna answer the warforged of a thousand animals?

Meany:I did.

Ghostwish:ACK. Don't emote like that. Makes ya a lot less noticable. XD

Barshal:First, Barshal tries to calm the crazy donkey.. « 1d20+3 = 9 + 3 = 12 » handle animal check.

TMG:ghost; draken's in my channel :U

Liatai:Masterwork studded leather armor, sized small 4 thunderstones Masterwork shortbow, sized Medium Climber's kit Well-made thieves' tools Well-made artisan's tools Masterwork trumpet 100 feet of silk rope Masterwork longsword, sized medium Chest 10 sacks Jade six-sided die Gold bracelet set with amber Set of five matched chased silver teacups, thrown into a sack unceremoniously Brass tankard with intricate carving of partying orcs on it 5 pairs of cotton pants (burnt orange) 10 orange goblin-sized sackcloth shirts 1 pair of riding boots

VAE:ouch

VAE:the list.. it hurts my mind

Liatai:Also, 5 gallons of the same foul-smelling liquid you found in the cave, 1 gallon strong-smelling orcish liquor, 5 pounds beef jerky, 15 pounds apples, and 20 days' trail rations.

Liatai:VAE - I was trying to get it out quickly. >.o

VAE:not yer fault

Gnogglebolt:"Throw everything in any sack you can carry, we'll sort it out later."


 * Sszeyl leads the horse down the cave, and drops the worg corpse. "Terri, could you fetch some apples for Doug? He's had a bad scare."

Derish:Derish's eyes light up as he finds a longsword, a very well made one, in the cart.. He picks it up, testing it's weight.

Gnogglebolt:"Blackswords...sword might be worth you looking at, by the way. I just need to borrow it for a little bit."

Gnogglebolt:Gnggolebotl says to Derish.

Liatai:Masterwork studded leather armor, sized small; 4 thunderstones; masterwork shortbow, sized Medium; a climber's kit; well-made thieves' tools; well-made artisan's tools; a asterwork trumpet; 100 feet of silk rope; a masterwork longsword, sized medium; a chest; 10 sacks; a jade six-sided die; a gold bracelet set with amber; a set of five matched chased silver teacups, thrown into a sack unceremoniously; a brass tankard with intricate carving of partying orcs on it; 5 pairs of cotton pants (burnt orange); 10 orange goblin-sized sackcloth shirts; and 1 pair of riding boots. There. The list is more organized. X3

Liatai:It is a very well-made sword, with a black leather-wrapped grip.

VAE:thanks!

Derish:"If it outpreforms this one.. I shall take it then."

Gnogglebolt:With the Blacksword strapped across his back, Gnogglebolt also goes to the she-goblin and, not really expecting any help, whicly puts her on a makeshift sled out of cloth and a few sticks and drags her himself, trusting everyone else to get all the other spoils between them.

Gnogglebolt:But then he stops, and sets down the goblin for the moment.

Derish:Derish helps cart off all the spoils. He's already got the masterwork longsword.

Barshal:As does barshal.

Gnogglebolt:He looks at the bodies strewn about unceremoniously. Without any word to anyoen else whetther they already left or not, Gnogglebolt grimply drags all the bodies to simply be lined up in some sort of semi-respectful eternal rest.

Meany is disconnected.

Gnogglebolt:Not knowing whatelse to do, he goes back to the still-living goblin and drags her back to the cave with the others.

VAE:heh... in some months trofim will be *raising* such corpses XD

TMG:....

TMG:we're gonna need to talk OOC after this...

TMG:and meany can't get back in

TMG:server's not listed for him

VAE:restart server, lia!

VAE:nothing disappears and it tends to solve the problem

Liatai:Aaaargh. What happened?

Liatai:(I swear I'm the only one who knows how to take care of a dog around here... >.> My mother let her outisde without a leash in a strange neighborhood, with ALL KINDS of interesting smells around.)

TMG:Meany disconnected, and he can't get back in

Liatai:(Guess what? She bolted. -.- Just had to run outside and bring her in, since I'm usually the only one who can call her and have her come back...)

Liatai:Oh! O.o

Liatai:OK, I'll restart the server.

 * Tezkat rawrs.

Meany:Yo.

Meany:Gnogglebolt: But then he stops, and sets down the goblin for the moment.


 * Maximillian Toris gives Venezuela a quick dose of healing magic... Cure Minor Wounds... and then, without a word, goes to help Gnogglebolt.

TMG:okay, one sec meany

TMG:Gnogglebolt: But then he stops, and sets down the goblin for the moment. Derish: Derish helps cart off all the spoils. He's already got the masterwork longsword. Barshal: As does barshal.

Meany:Thankee, btw.

TMG:so, group everyone together, vworp back to the cave?

Maximillian Toris:When the grisly task is done, Max washes off his hands, then looks at the line of bodies... then gives a hollow laugh. "... I don't know any goblin funeral rites, do you?"

Derish:"They end in a stew pot, if I remember correctly."

Barshal:"They do actually serve quite well as compost."\

Drayco has connected.

Gnogglebolt:"Sadly, I do no. I rather wish I did, though. Will need to do research."

Gnogglebolt:*not

Maximillian Toris:"... Hmm." The human thinks for a moment... then rummages in his pockets. He pulls out an orange vial. "Any objections to sending them off with a bit of a show, then?"

Maximillian Toris:"Bit of an unorthodox use for this, but it's the best way I can think of to get even coverage."

Trofim:It's a waste of stuff that might serve later

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt winces, but doesn't say anything. It doesn't seem like it appeals to him, but he keeps it in check.

Drayco:Did you loot them first?

Barshal:Hell to the f yes.


 * Barbarus hugs Venezuela.


 * Maximillian Toris looks down at the gnome, then kneels to get down to the gnome's level. "I just don't like the idea of just leaving intelligent beings out there for the scavengers to eat, Mr. Sparkgear."

Gnogglebolt:"I know, I know. I agree."

Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 17 + 4 = 21 »

Gnogglebolt:He gestures. "...carry on..."

Barbarus:Pause people.

TMG:hmm? o.o

TMG:what's up, meany?

Barbarus:Knowledge Local check for goblin basic funeral rites.

Caswin has connected.

TMG:...I think barbarus succeeded o.o

TMG:(and nice job :) )

Liatai:He did!

Barshal:Barshal carefully searches the bodies.. 21 on a search check.

Barbarus:"I...know the basic rites."

Barshal:"What a curious peice of knowledge to possess."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddenly perks up. "Ah...you do?"

Maximillian Toris:"You do?" Max looks surprised.

Gnogglebolt:"May you please inform us?"

Barbarus:"They...they bury their dead, and speak kind words of the dead's conquests and offspring."

Maximillian Toris:"... Well, we don't know much about either for these fellows..."

Barbarus:"One is still alive, rouse her and ask, if you are so inclined."

Gnogglebolt:"Hmm..." Gnogglebolt rubs his chin. 'I was thinking of burying them initially, but of course, it's too much work for me, and I certainly wasn't going to ask any of you for help."


 * Barbarus is suddenly sounding waspish.

Gnogglebolt:"But..."

Liatai:Oh, yes. The goblins' gear is in rather poor shape, but still salvageable if you want small-sized orange leather armor and small-sized longswords.

Barshal:Barshal does not.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt shrugs. "None of you are obliged, but I suppose I'll ask. Any among you feel like digging a few graves?"

Derish:"Eh, fine, I'll help."

Sszeyl:Did Terri ever go get those apples like Sszeyl asked?

Maximillian Toris:"They're not ones for cremation, then?" Max looks down at the vial in his hand, then pockets it. "I'll help."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks -very- surprised. It seems Derish was the -last- person of all of them Gnogglebolt expected help from. Gnogglebolt respectfully bows his head.

Gnogglebolt:He also looks to max and says "Thank you."

Terri:"Here you go! Are you okay, Mr. Doug?" The gil looks up at the horse nervously.

Liatai:*girl

Trofim:Trofim thinks about helping them, but moving around hurts too much in his current state, and they are just bloody goblins anyways


 * Barbarus finds Venezuela's reigns and moves off toward town.

Liatai:Any farewell words for the catfolk?

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, with the help of Max, Derish, and anyone else who offered, digs out shallow holes to place the goblins in.

Barbarus:After grabbing his sword, first.

Gnogglebolt:He also looks up. "Oh, you're leaving?"

Gnogglebolt:"Well...actually, when I found out the Blackswords were targeting you, I was thinking of cathcing up to you and brining you under our protection, but well, the blacksword tribe is no longer a factor..." Gnogglebolt trails off.


 * Maximillian Toris leans on his shovel and says a brief prayer to the fallen in Bahamut's name, then looks up to watch what's happening.

Gnogglebolt:"Farewell, stranger. Thank you again for the advice." Gnogglebolt says, looking at the graves.

Derish:"Goodbye silly kitten. Watch out for small gnolls."

Barbarus:"Look me up if you want leather worked."

Barbarus:And off he goes!


 * Sszeyl passes the apples along to Doug.

Maximillian Toris:"Take care of yourself, and your mule! Austrat shafer thrae bensvelk."

Trofim:*Trofim nods*

Liatai:Burying Blacksword, too?

Gnogglebolt:On his own, gnogglebolt also works on quietly covering Blacksword's body, but only does the quick bare minimum, and says nothing over the grave,

TMG:(er, period at the end.)

Liatai:Righto, teleport time!

Sszeyl:"The goblins are all dead, if you want to go out and check on your brother, Terri."

Ghostwish:WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Gnogglebolt:All the grim work finally completed, Gnogglebolt picks up the sled the barely-alive goblin is on, and goes with everyone to the cave.

Audience:Where did everyone go?

Trofim:Bloody hell

Ghostwish:brb

Audience:Oh, there you are.

Terri:"Is everyone okay? What happened out there -- Mr. Sparkgear!'

Trofim:Trofim unerringly approaches... well, the only one here he would approach

Trofim:Papa!

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt's face softens a bit upon seeing her. "Ah, hello there Miss terri."

Gnogglebolt:One moment...

Trofim:*rubs the dog's head with both hands*

Gnogglebolt:(er, was meant to be in quotations.)

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks around at the caged goblins for ones awake.


 * Papa wags his tail, but looks past Trofim at the others coming in.

Liatai:All of the caged goblins are awake now.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt hefst the sword off of his pack, saying something in Goblin.

Justinian Rubus:"About time. They've been raising an awful storm of noise."

Liatai:The goblins' eyes all bug out. Two look furious, one looks crushed, and the former worg-rider stares... then snarls, leaping at the side of his cage like a mad dog, yelling at the top of his lungs.


 * Sszeyl rubs the horse. "Feeling okay now?"

Doug:*snort. The horse snufftles a little, eating his apples.*

Derish:"What did you say?"

Terri:"Brother!!"

Gnogglebolt:When one of the goblins shouted a single word, Gnogglebolt simply sighed.

Maximillian Toris:"All quiet on the caveside front, Ter'?"

Sszeyl:"Anyone know how to skin a large dog?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up at derish. "I only said I assumed they recognized the sword. Of course, they do."


 * Papa stares at Sszeyl and sticks his tail between his legs.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks forward, with a wince. "They delared me a murderer."

Sszeyl:"The worgs, Papa. The large dead wolves who tried to kill us."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebol takes a deep breath, and continues saying something else to the goblins.

Derish:Derish snorts. "Well, inform them that we are the ones who killed the orcish creature, and also that you have a gnoll with no qualms of eating goblins."

Sszeyl:The rp stalling for goblin talk again? :P

TMG:II'm intending to keep this one very short :U

TMG:in fact, probably not going to say anything else after this

Sszeyl:"I take that as a no on the wolf skinning?"

Liatai:The goblins stay silent, and look positively murderous.

Ghostwish:oh man.. watching brothers in arms.. the part where they find the concentration camps.

Trofim:Hmm, lemme think..

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt just sighs again, and says one last thing in Goblin.

VAE:trofim is a peasant.. and skinning a worg isn't that different from skinning a goat

Gnogglebolt:He then turns to everyone else.

Gnogglebolt:"Alright...now that this is behind us, time to focus on our original objective.

Gnogglebolt:"We reset and prepare for the arrival of a 'client'. Before that, however, I think we all need to sit down and have an honest talk..."

Liatai:Warning; I'm setting vision to "night." Prepare your light sources... now!


 * Sszeyl has Darkvision. :P

VAE:and verdict on what i said?

VAE:can trofim skin the thing? and take a 10 or 20 on the check even?

Liatai:It's likely similar, but while you might know the technique, actually skinning it would require a Craft check.

VAE:craft? Profession(peasant) doesn't cut it?

Liatai:Depends on how well he rolls.

Meany:What of the Druid? :o

Justinian Rubus:"A talk?"

Meany:Or the Ranger?

Liatai:They could probably do it without a check. ^^'

TMG:and might as well save the talk for next session, actually

TMG:good place to leave off?

TMG:or does everyone want to keep going?

Ghostwish:I say leave off.

Ghostwish:Big talk is going to be looooong.

VAE:i dunno.. i'm OK with leaving

Liatai:I'm good for keeping going, or for leaving off, either way.

VAE:when Gnogglebolt starts to talk...

Meany:I vote to continue. :P

TMG:(I'd actually like Alex around x3 )

Ghostwish:Modern age gnome, bronze age gnoll, apathetic druid.. yaaaah, that's gonna be interesting. XD

Liatai:OK, so next week for the talk it is. ^^

Ghostwish:Yay! I be off now, need to jerk Draken around.

Caswin:I was just about to leave.

Ghostwish is disconnected.

VAE:also, liatai

Liatai:Yes?

VAE:save the log well

VAE:since i don't have the full monty today

Liatai:I will, I will. XD

VAE:(the connection dropping)

TMG:also, I'm amazed

VAE:you said so the last time too

VAE:?TMG:my computer didn't crash once during this o.o

VAE:haha!

Meany:Cawin, you alive? :o

Meany:Did we infect you enough to begin making a character? :3

TMG:sooo...back to the IRC? :U

VAE:yep!

VAE:back to the IRC

Liatai:Any last words for the server? :3
