Ghostwish:I assume a 4d6 drop the lowest roll?

Liatai:Yep. ^^

Ghostwish:And holy mother of... O_O

Ghostwish:You think this is ugly!?!?!?

Ghostwish:My 1st place just got a little tighter.

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 1 » + « 1d6 = 3 » + « 1d6 = 4 » + « 1d6 = 2 »

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 1 » + « 1d6 = 6 » + « 1d6 = 4 » + « 1d6 = 6 »

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 6 » + « 1d6 = 3 » + « 1d6 = 4 » + « 1d6 = 4 »

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 1 » + « 1d6 = 3 » + « 1d6 = 1 » + « 1d6 = 4 »

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 6 » + « 1d6 = 1 » + « 1d6 = 5 » + « 1d6 = 2 »

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 1 » + « 1d6 = 2 » + « 1d6 = 1 » + « 1d6 = 2 »

Meany has connected.

Liatai:You weren't there when people were asking me what the plateau and river were supposed to be... ^^'

Ghostwish:9, ow, 16, yay! 14 yay! 8, OW, 13, yay!, 5. FFFFFFFFFF.

Ghostwish:How dice hate me...

Liatai:9, 16, 14, 8, 13... oh ouch. 5. ^^'

Ghostwish:And people wonder why I prefer point buy. XD

Liatai:XD

Ghostwish:And half-die for HP! Oie!

Ghostwish:Could I give the rolls another try? That 5 is just.. mocking me.

Liatai:I think I'm going to say you can reroll that 5 if you want. That's just... ouch. XD

Ghostwish:Yay!

TMG:hold on a sec, let me calc something...

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 3 » + « 1d6 = 4 » + « 1d6 = 5 » + « 1d6 = 3 »

Liatai:Go right ahead!

TMG:waaait


 * Liatai halts.

Ghostwish:What!? Nothing you could say would make me want to take a 5!! That's barbarian wisdom score right there.

TMG:-1, +3, +2, -1, +1, -2....

TMG:er, -3

TMG:total...

Liatai:I was going to say, there's no way that a 5 is just a -2. XD

TMG:-1, +3, +2, -1, +1, -3...

TMG:+1 total

TMG:that's grounds for complete reroll, I think

Liatai:Indeed it is. :3

Ghostwish:Right, here goes...

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 4 » + « 1d6 = 2 » + « 1d6 = 3 » + « 1d6 = 5 »

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 5 » + « 1d6 = 6 » + « 1d6 = 2 » + « 1d6 = 5 »

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 6 » + « 1d6 = 4 » + « 1d6 = 1 » + « 1d6 = 1 »

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 2 » + « 1d6 = 6 » + « 1d6 = 3 » + « 1d6 = 4 »

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 4 » + « 1d6 = 5 » + « 1d6 = 6 » + « 1d6 = 5 »

Ghostwish:« 1d6 = 3 » + « 1d6 = 4 » + « 1d6 = 3 » + « 1d6 = 1 »

Ghostwish:10, 16, 11, 13, 16, 10. Taking it.Ghostwish:Totally taking it. MINE.Ghostwish:That's close to a high-powered point buy!

Meany:Aww. My guy isn't the strongman anymore. :

Ghostwish:So! Tech wants a fighter to sleep with. He's gonna be the tankish sort, but you got a weapon in mind, techalicious?

Liatai:12, 16, 11, 13, 16, 10.Ghostwish:OOPS XD

Ghostwish:Almost shot myself in the foo- *BLAM* OW MY HAND

Liatai:XD

TMG:....what just happaned?

TMG:*happened?

Liatai:Nothing, Tech. Nothing at all.Ghostwish:A couple of monkies ran in and repoed your pants. You really should pay your beer tab.

TMG:...anyway.

TMG:What I was thinking of

TMG:if you play a heavy-armor using character

TMG:my guy can actually make a steam mech for you to use

TMG:he just has to teach you the Use Tech Device skillGhostwish:Oh cool. So weapon not a pickler then? We'll go the standard longsword and shield combination.Ghostwish:16, 12, 16, 13, 10, 11 by the way.

Ghostwish:Going.. hrm.. human or dwarf?

TMG:although actually, my guy is going to get an engineer and steamwarrior cohorts anyway, but they will actually be managing something else in Gnogglebolt's place

Ghostwish:I think human.

TMG:so, you can be whatever you want

Meany:Aww. No dwarves.

TMG:but if my guy is to make steam armor for you, gotta be a heavy-armor user of some kind ^^

Ghostwish:You want a drunk in the party?\

Ghostwish:he starts with 13 HP..

Ghostwish:Equipment.. Oh DM! How much of the shinies has my character?

Ghostwish:Standard?

Liatai:How much of the shinies, indeed.Liatai:Standard, yep. Unless you want to roll, but given what's happened so far with dice, I wouldn't blame you if you chose not to. XD

Ghostwish:150 GP it is. XD

Meany::U

Ghostwish:(you'll also understand why I prefer half-die on level up HP too.)

Liatai:Indeed I do. XD

Liatai:-- oh, speaking of which! Thanks for the reminder. I need my dice.*goes to get them*

Ghostwish:Longsword brings it to 135..

Ghostwish:Scalemail with heavy steel shield, 65 left..

Liatai:You can draw from splatbooks for equipment, too. I'm rather fond of the Arms and Equipment Guide. :3

TMG:so, been clicking around this map, ghost?

Ghostwish:Shucks. I'm not too familiar with it.. and rushing this poor guy as is.Ghostwish:nope, making a fighter.

Ghostwish:Onto skills

TMG:well, put the fighter on hold for a bit and explore the map ^^

Ghostwish:Feats!Ghostwish:Allright, misc equipment.


 * Liatai adds a few more things to the map in the meantime. Doo dee doo.

TMG:ooh?Ghostwish:2, .05, .01, .01, 1 so 3 gold, 7 silver down

Ghostwish:61 gold, 93 silver left.

Ghostwish:Languages goes by int score or int modifier?

Liatai:Int modifier.

Ghostwish:Right o.. any hints on what might be useful?Liatai:Plus, since I'm guessing you'll want your character to be from central Akellon (since that's where we are right now), he/she can choose Draconic as a bonus language if he/she wishes.

Ghostwish:Awesome!

Ghostwish:Okay. Forgot one minor detail.

Ghostwish:A name. XD

TMG:but he's human anyway... x_x

TMG:oh, yes

Liatai:Oh, yeah., that's kind of important XD

TMG:you also have to come up with a backstory for your character

Liatai:Well, since we're pressed for time, it doesn't have to be anything involved.

TMG:where in Akellon was he born, where did he grow up, what is he like today, why is he that way?

TMG:do you really need to join this very session, ghost? >.>

Ghostwish:YES. LIFE DEPENDS UPON IT.

TMG:you could just sit in like you were asking last night...

Liatai:Oh hush, he's fine to join. ^^

Liatai:His backstory could be mysterious, coming out in bits and pieces as the adventure goes on... >.> >:3

Ghostwish:*snrk* oh Tech is going to hate me.

Ghostwish:You bet it is.

Liatai:Anyway! You asked about languages. :3

Ghostwish:Common and Draconic it's looking like. ^_^

Liatai:Nice! We can always use more Draconic speakers.

Ghostwish:Wham: http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=40770

Ghostwish:You may begin hating me now, Tech.

Ghostwish:Filled in a bit more up top, on the fly.

TMG:Derish.... d'Knoll...

TMG:you son of a...

Ghostwish:XD

Ghostwish:^_^

Ghostwish:Ah! A token!

Liatai:... there's a story here I'm missing. XD

TMG:in his game, there's a group of Gnolls

TMG:one of them is called Derish

Liatai:XD

Liatai:Well, we could make him a gnoll. >:3

TMG:and in Eberron, individuals who are part of the dragonmarked houses have a d' at the beginning of their last name

Ghostwish:Delightful fellow, I assure you. Better than his brother Drash

Ghostwish:I would so love to be a gnoll, save for the level adjustment. OUCH.

Liatai:... Let me consult Savage Species. :3

Ghostwish:omg another DM that uses savage species!?!? I'm in love.

Liatai:

TMG:*sigh* I am going to regret mentioning to you that I was in Liatai's game, aren't I ghost?

Ghostwish:For the rest of your life.

Liatai:Bweeheeheeheehee. >:3

Meany::U

Liatai:OK, I didn't see gnolls in SS, but I think they're in Races of the WIld. :3

Meany:I'm swapping computers.

Ghostwish:I think gnolls are.. +2? Which is silly. All they have is one point of armor, some darkvision, and I can't remember what else.

Meany:Also, did yout two mention the Swap yet?

Liatai:+1, actually. ^^

Meany is disconnected.

Liatai:Ah, here we are! Page 102 in Races of the Wild.

Ghostwish:I'll totally level as a gnoll for level 1.

Ghostwish:Looks like.. d8 HP, big bonus to strength, smaller one to con, penalty to int and charisma.

Ghostwish:Darkvision 60 ft.

Ghostwish:Whoa, what does races of the wild say? The monster manual is talking about giving them even more skill points than a fighter. O_O

Ghostwish:And 2d8 HP.

Liatai:Races of the Wild, first-level gnoll... Give me a minute to transcribe. ^^

Ghostwish:Okiedokie!

Liatai:+2 Str, -2 Int, -2 Cha, Darkvision out to 60 ft., HD 1d8, BAB +0, Fort +2, Ref +0, Will +0, skill points (2+Int)x4, one bonus feat at first level. Proficient with light armor, shields, simple and martial weapons. Automatically speaks Gnoll (and Common, let's say), bonus languages are Draconic, Elven, Goblin, Orc (and let's add Feline to that list, too, since plains gnolls are constantly at war with catfolk). Speed 30 ft.

Ghostwish:I likes!

Ghostwish:Does he.. graduate up to normal gnoll stats?

Liatai:Yep, just like Savage Species monsters.

Ghostwish:How many levels in the race class, or is it just one?

Liatai:3 levels, so you have an ECL of 3 when they're done.

Ghostwish:d8 per level?TMG:ah great, meany vanished

Liatai:For the first two levels, yes. No extra HD for level 3, but you do get your natural armor bonus and a +2 to Str at 3rd level.

Ghostwish:It's one thing I hate about savage species.. a lot of them get nerfed something harsh with their missing HD. Okay for monsters, but not for adventurers. :

Ghostwish:Right, definitely taking fixed die then.

Ghostwish:Oh, when does he get his con bonus?

TMG:ghost; eh...it's entirely the other way around

Liatai:Con bonus comes at level 2.

Ghostwish:Most excellent.

TMG:there's a reason that by normal rules, you add both LA -and- Racial hit die to determine ECL for a monster with class levels...

TMG:alex is asking if we're going to start soon

TMG:and I don't know where meany went

Liatai:Meany probably just disconnected again. He's been having problems with his Internet, especially while running MapTool at the same time.

Ghostwish:Allright, recalculating.. we can start the game if you say like? I can fill out the character sheet as we go.

Liatai:OK! Just give me a few...

Liatai:Oops, one second, guys. Mind if we disconnect for a moment?

TMG:go ahead

Ghostwish:sure, I've got what I need in a word pad

You have disconnected.

Server started.

You have disconnected.

Server started.

VAE has connected.

Ghostwish has connected.

Ghostwish:Huzzah!

VAE:Bwhahaha!

TMG has connected.

Ghostwish:DM, what skills shall I be starting out with? The MM claims only spot and listen. XD

Faerie has connected.

Ghostwish:I could totally roll with that though.

Liatai:It says just Listen and Spot... but... where's Meany when we need him? I need to check something? XD

Liatai:*something! XD

Ghostwish:I'll just go with listen and spot then.

VAE:i hope he didn't go driving

TMG:heh, I just realized

TMG:I never set my token size to small xD

Ghostwish:Shall I plop a token down?

Liatai:I think I did; I forgot to do the same for the goblins. XD

Liatai:Ah, sure! One sec.

Liatai:Can you see the map now? :3


 * Derish just quietly plops in, hoping no one notices the giant gnoll.

Derish:"Dear gods! A gnome!" *PUNT!*

Meany has connected.

TMG:ahaGhostwish:There he is.TMG:he livesFaerie:Hang on, I have to e-mail someone.

VAE:ohm evetyone is here?

TMG:so! Everyone (except ghost, obviously) remember what happened last session?

Liatai:Give me a few moments to refill my teacup... Want to fill Ghost in? :3

VAE:kind of...

TMG:well, ghost can't be filled in, his character wasn't here >.>

Liatai:But he can at least know where we are in Akellon, and get a basic idea of the fact that there are goblins around, so we can get an idea of how he approaches the party. :3

Meany:I lve foos.

Meany:live*

TMG:-does- he even know there's goblins around?

TMG:that's the question.

TMG:how did his character get to this place at this point in time?

Liatai:That's what I'm trying to discern. ^^

Ghostwish:But if you won't tell me what's happened so far, I can't tell you how I got here. See?

TMG:okay, I'll say what's reasonable

TMG:we are just outside one of the largest cities in central Akellon, Castleton

Ghostwish:Don't, let's do it IC.

TMG:it's not the capital, but it used t be

TMG:no, I'm telling you what you -do- need to know OOC

TMG:but yeah. There is a vas plain a bit to the south, which is where the gnolls come from

Liatai:And the forests.

Liatai:I just didn't mention gnolls on the forest maps. >>

TMG:so, this guy gnoll somehow traveled north, alone, and is now outside one of Akellon's largest cities

TMG:oh, or the forests to the east?

Faerie:Hang on, I have to run, don't know how.

Faerie:*how long

Liatai:.. .OK then. Well, more time to sort out backstory details. ^^

Liatai:But, yeah. Gnolls are common throughout Akellon, not just on the plains. Chardem has problems with gnoll raiders, there are gnoll pirates on the ocean, anywhere there's forest, you'll find gnolls...

Ghostwish:What about friendly gnolls who enjoy a good cup of tea?

Meany:They tend to get knifed by the unfriendly gnolls, I'd imagine.

Liatai:Rare, but still present. XD

VAE:me is present too

VAE:i meant


 * VAE is present too

TMG:ooh, just remembered

TMG:Liatai, are you using the "Player Character" token props for Terri and Papa?

Liatai:The what? o.o

Liatai:Oh, the properties.

Liatai:Yes, at the moment, I am.

TMG:Ah. I can tell you how to fix those for tokens we aren't supposed to see

TMG:while waiting for epopel to return and get situated, want me to help you with that?

Liatai:Sure, why not.

TMG:one sec...

Meany:Why is Tech's token so small?

Liatai:Because he's a gnome.

VAE:Bwhahah

TMG:danman;, yeah, I forgot to set that before x3

TMG:I have a small-sized character, so small-sized token

Faerie:Guys, I have to run some errands

TMG:sure thing

Meany:Mkay.

Liatai:'Kay, see you later.

TMG:okay liatai...

TMG:first, go to campaign properties

TMG:then make sur you're in the token properties tab

TMG:(and if the top is a little screwy, just change tabs)

Liatai:OK, I'm there.

TMG:now, go to the player character properties, highlyt and copy everything there

TMG:*highlight

Liatai:Check. Hit "new," right?

TMG:Yup.

TMG:In the now-empty field, paste all the info, and put as the name "monster" or "npc" or something like that

TMG:now, for the modification

TMG:only a few of the properties have a * in front of them, right?

Liatai:Yep.

TMG:it looks like *Property (prop). Change them all to *#Property (prop)

TMG:insert the #

TMG:and then, for the players

TMG:insert under Hi Points a new line *Hit Dice (HD), so people can know how their spells affect things :3

TMG:then just hit "update" and boom, new st of token properties

TMG:use them for anything that's not a PC ^^

Liatai:OK... What can you see when you mouse over Terri, then?

VAE:bwahahah

TMG:HD who knows? x3

TMG:and you

VAE:i can see a LOL

TMG:should be able to see all her -real- stats

TMG:But none of us can.

VAE:what about her complex stats?

Liatai:I can indeed.

TMG:there ya go, liatai. Always glad to be of service ^^

Liatai:... heeheehee. I can have fun with this. >:3

Ghostwish:Just don't ask him to cook.

Meany:So, what's happened since I dropped? :U

Meany:Ghost got his char done in record time, I take it?

Ghostwish:Smokin'.

TMG:oh, I just helped Liatai make something new for her own use

TMG:we haven't started yet

TMG:and alex went away to do some errands

Liatai:Doo dee doo.

VAE:what new?

VAE:you mean the doubled up stats?

Ghostwish:I suppose we could introduce characters? No combat going on, is there?

TMG:erm, well...

TMG:the way I run games, it's combat that can be autoed if someone is missing

TMG:but roleplaying ooportunities only happen once...

TMG:Liatai's call.

Liatai:I suppose we can say that Elros and Tadrim are hanging back to drag the unconscious goblin along if worst comes to worst...

Liatai:I hate to do that without Faerie's approval, though.

Ghostwish:You're too nice. I'm all snooze ya lose.

Meany:Perhaps give him a whisper plot with Terri/Pappa?

TMG:yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Liatai:A whisper plot, hm?

Meany::U

Ghostwish:Whisper plot?

Liatai:Ghostwish: Too nice? Pah, you should have seen what I did last night to these poor gentlemen. >:3

VAE:i would have thought that the goblins might have Ghostwish imprisoned

VAE:a cliche yet believable way of putting him through

Liatai:... I just realized how wrong that could have sounded. XD

Liatai:I meant the plot teasing!

Meany:Yeah, a plot carried out through /msg and /reply. Gives a sense of things happening when the party ain't around. :U

Ghostwish:For shame! >

Liatai:There's a /reply function?

TMG:oh, yes

Liatai:MAN, that would have made things easier last session. XD

TMG:instead of typing /w name, you can just type /reply, and it will go to the last person who messaged you

Meany:I know.

TMG:there is a drawback

Meany:That's why I used it. :B

Liatai:

Liatai:XD

TMG:if you you are carrying on a conversation with someone, and you've got /reply all typed out, and just about to hit enter...

TMG:someone else could message you, and the reply will go to them

Ghostwish:And WHAM, sex mote to a random person.

TMG:instead of the intended recipient

Liatai:XD

Meany::U

TMG:It's happened to me. x3

Meany:Sexmoting random people?

Ghostwish:I knew he was a kinky one.

TMG:>.o

TMG:>:[

Meany:I keed. :U


 * Liatai just did a spit take with tea.

Meany:xB

VAE:oh... danman just now got the "how wrong it might have sounded" joke

VAE:It seems we engineers have the "oblivious" trait, like Numel

Liatai:Anyway, these guys can tell you, I let slip an iiiiiiiitty bitty plot detail last night. Just the tiniest one!

Liatai:You should have seen the mental contortions. >:3

TMG:no you didn't.

TMG:You just yelled PLOOOT PLOT PLIT PLOOOOOT!

TMG:

Liatai:I was quoting my notes! XD

VAE:it involves a small character

Liatai:And I did let slip a few details. >:3

VAE:so either terri granch redmaw or gnogglebolt

Liatai:A few very small ones. >:3

Liatai:>:3

Liatai:It might not be either of them.

Meany:It might be that thrice-damned cat.

VAE:or beridze

VAE:he is small

VAE:just a skull

TMG:for freak's sake, these stupid fang-attack-happy level 37 ratatta do NOT give out as much EXP as they should

Liatai:See? Mental contortions. >:3

VAE:i can beat that

VAE:in Wiz VI

VAE:a monstrous bat can do more damage in one turn than the xp it is worth

VAE:it also has about 3x as much HP

TMG:Heck, even a ten-levelslower Fearrow or Ponyta gives double the EXP as these thrice-damned ratatta...

VAE:it's one of the most annoying monsters to meet at this stage

Ghostwish:... so I pop back in to check, and there's pokemon chatter fluttering about. DEPLOY THE NAPALM.

Liatai:You missed the mental contortions!

VAE:Tech - see above. Dan, Alexsi. Mab Merlitz Wildy and Pyroduck can kill about a dozen floaters in one turn earning almost 2000XP

VAE:they can also spend 3-4 turns killing two monstrous bats ,and getting 80XP

TMG:dang.


 * Meany gets the Disneyification cannon.

Ghostwish:Oh I saw it.

VAE:the developers either felt mischievous or someone shifted a decimal point

TMG:okay...

TMG:while waiting for alex to return, I'ma go do more of a chore

VAE:i mean, the suckers give XP two orders of magnitude less than similar monsters

VAE:anyways, danman is gonna prepare some danman chow

VAE:since lastly he ate 8 hours ago

Ghostwish:yay!

Liatai:Enjoy. I'll be here. ^^

Meany:Evilsauce!

VAE:hehe... today is anniversary of Slovak National Uprising so danman slapped his pocket and got chicken legs


 * Meany explodes into kittens.

VAE:should be back in half hour


 * VAE also has a bottle of cider

Liatai:Here, let me just save this map...


 * Meany 's kitten debris field slowly gravitates back into one mass, then implodes into Meany.

Liatai:There we are. Are you guys seeing the world map?

Ghostwish:Ooo, gimmie a key to skydragon castle.

Liatai:Maybe. Depends on how draconically-inclined you want to make this character. >:3

Liatai:After all, it could be a good plot hook, and who am I as a GM to turn down a potential plot hook? :3


 * Ghostwish rolls: Well, I had invisioned Derish to be quite a bit brighter than the average gnoll.. maybe a certain dragon was responsible for his tutelage? :D => Invalid expression: Well, I had invisioned Derish to be quite a bit brighter than the average gnoll.. maybe a certain dragon was responsible for his tutelage? :D.

Ghostwish:Oh fark. XD

TMG:okay, how do you even mess that up?

Ghostwish:You miss one letter, and the reply feature goes whacky.

TMG:what did you do?

Ghostwish:Screw it, going back to old-fashioned /w

Meany:

Meany:>>

Meany:

Meany:Hmm.

Meany:Can't do the shifty eye expression.

Meany:-

Liatai:?

Liatai:Bah, that didn't work.

Meany:I'm trying to do the expression.

Ghostwish:It eats arrows that point to the right.Meany:...

Ghostwish::

Ghostwish:>

Ghostwish:Nevermind, left.

Meany:In any event.


 * Meany floats down to Therassa and swipes some catpersons to cuddle to death. :U

TMG:I'm back, sorta

TMG:so, ghost, been exploring the map?

Ghostwish:Constantly. XD

Ghostwish:So.. very.. tempted.. to make Derish half-dragon.

TMG:the LA itself would keeel you xD

Ghostwish:I knooooooow. XD

Liatai:Meany, are you still around?

Meany:I live.

Liatai:I need to ask you something. When it came to class skills, did I give Sszeyl the monk class skills?

Meany:I...think so yeah.

Liatai:Because if so, Ghostwish, then it would only be fair to extend the same offer to you. :3 What class are you thinking of making this gnoll?

Ghostwish:Fighter.

Liatai:Then as a GM call, I say he can treat fighter class skills as class skills.

Ghostwish:Done!

TMG:doo dee doot...

VAE:back

VAE:i still need to eat, but food is done

Liatai:Huzzah!

Meany::U

Ghostwish:Let's start some character interactions.

VAE:also, a rock egg. which was cheap in the natural science museum (about a pound) flattened my foot thumb

Ghostwish:So.. what is this about a war 124 years ago?

Liatai:Rock egg? And ouch. ^^'

Liatai:The Underdark War. Started as elves vs. dwarves, turned into drow and duergar vs. elves and dwarves.

Liatai:Tech, this is your area of expertise, care to chime in? :3

Liatai:Meany, too.

VAE:yeah - i figured that eventually it will make a good DnD prop

Meany:Drow disquised as elves, and attacked dwarves.

VAE:it looks really nice - i must take a pic somehow someday

Meany:Duergar disquised as dwarves, and attacked elves.

Meany:The two stabbed each other for a bit, then the Drow and Duergar stepped in to beat they asses.

TMG:oh, the war

Meany:While this was happening. :U

Meany:An order of monks overthrew the Lolth clergy, and effectively gained control of the Drow nation.

TMG:anyway, the humans of Akellon tried to stay out of the elf-vs-dwarf war intitally

Liatai:The insurrection Meany's talking about happened after the war had been lost on the drow side.

TMG:when it was revealed that the drow and deurgar were attaking everyone, humans elves and dwarves all banded together and beat them back

TMG:after the drow weere beaten back, the Lolth clergy was removed from power for starting the disastrous war

TMG:and have been replaced by the Orgolloyss Order

TMG:Effectively, the drow got flipped from Chaotic Evil to Lawful Evil

TMG:because the Order was established to curb the drow's most violent and self-destructive tendancies

Ghostwish:Yeouch!

Ghostwish:So I see the gnomes were.. wiped out almost?

Meany:In this country, pretty much.

TMG:but the Order is harsh. Like, completley and deliberately over-the-top harsh, believing that fear was the only way to keep order

TMG:which is why the drow are still Evil, instead of Lawful Neutral

Liatai:Pretty much. They're fine outside of Akellon, but within Akellon itself, there are probably only 500-1000 left.

TMG:and yeah

TMG:Kellonite Gnomes got caught in the middle

TMG:Mazian gnomes, like my guy, were outside of the area and survived

TMG:My guy is actually entering Akellon for two reasons;

TMG:1) spread the wonders of technology to Akellon

Ghostwish:shhh

Ghostwish:That's IC.

TMG:2) unite the re

TMG:okay x3

Ghostwish:Already blurted something about my character. Best keep the damage controls running.

Ghostwish:Let's start some charcter interactions. I've read the whole map!

TMG:okay...move us back to the real map, Liatai?

TMG:so we can impersonate tokens?

TMG:or are we still waiting for Alex?

Liatai:All righty then. We've given Faerie plenty of time to get back... he'll just come in when he comes back.

VAE:3) To protect the world from devestation! To unite all peoples within our nati on ! To denounce the evils of truth and love! To extend our reach to the stars above! Jessie! James! Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light! Surrender now, or prepare to fight! Meowth! That's right!

TMG:XD


 * Liatai snickers.


 * Ghostwish groans.

TMG:bwahahahaha

Meany::B

TMG:enforce vision

TMG:wee.

TMG:Hokay, so

Meany:I spy rocks.

TMG:are we really starting without Alex?

GM:For now. We'll just assume he's dragging the goblin with Tadrim.

TMG:okey-doke

VAE:i dunno... i am still chowing on fine chicken

TMG:and with that

TMG:Set the stage,, GM! Recap last session and opne us up!

TMG:*open

TMG:(if that's how you do it >.> )

VAE:we should have a recap theme

VAE:i remember when i was a kid Willy Fog's adventures had an awesome one

Sszeyl: (( We should have a theme proper, first. ))

GM:I think the stage has pretty much been set already... but here goes!

GM:On the last episode of Akellon Z...

TMG:xD

Sszeyl: (( Also, someone needs to create a theme music page for the chars on the wiki. :T ))

TMG:....brb.


 * Ghostwish dies.

VAE:now she uses an "over 9000 " joke

Ghostwish:So before we start fighting, we have to stand around grunting like we're constipated?

VAE:yes!

VAE:Beridze, of course will be clapping jaws

VAE:if he has the lower one

GM:Our party explored a dark and very narrow cave, knocked out a goblin, solved a riddle, and discovered a strange and mysterious treasure room. However, the goblin thief has not yet been found. One cave (that doesn't belong to a bear) remains.

Ghostwish:Thar be gnolls in dem dere woods.

GM:When we left our players, they were approaching the entrance to the cave... And take it away, guys. ^^

Derish:"Achoo!! Damnit!"

Sszeyl:"Now, are we going to be smart and plan before we enter the cave, or is someone going to have to get speared again first?"

Ghostwish:I couldn't resist. XD

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks over to Sszeyl's still-injured shoulder. "Are you sure you do not want that treated before we enter?"

GM:Anyone want to roll a Listen check to hear the sneezing gnoll? >:3

Ghostwish:XD

Sszeyl:« 1d20 = 9 »

Gnogglebolt:"And indeed, I do not want that to happen to you or anyone else again, so let us plan our entrance before executing i."

Sszeyl: (( I hear noffink. ))

Gnogglebolt:Listen check; « 1d20+2 = 19 + 2 = 21 »

Ghostwish:Crap. XD

Ghostwish:Better roll a hide, me finks.

GM:By all means. :3

Ghostwish:... oh this'll be good.

Ghostwish:« 1d20-5 = 12 - 5 = 7 »

Sszeyl: (( Well. ))

Ghostwish:The tree is nooot quite wide enough to hide the gnoll.

GM:... -5? O.o

Ghostwish:Armor penalties, apparently. XD

GM:Ahhh, I see. XD

TMG:rrg. This damn thing will not stay in source mode.

TMG:Oh, okay, ah...

Ghostwish:Source mode?

TMG:did Gnogglebolt tell which direction the sound came from?

TMG:Wiki thing

GM:There will be time for wiki fiddling later, Tech.

Ghostwish:I would definitely think so.

GM:And I would agree.

Sszeyl:"I answered that question before, Mr. Gnome. Kindly do not make me repeat myself."

Faerie:x.x

Ghostwish:omg it lives

Sszeyl: (( Alex lives. ))

Faerie:Barely

Faerie:

TMG:ah, alex!

TMG:Don't worry, we only just started

Liatai:Hooray for living!

GM:Want to roll a Spot check, Gnogglebolt?

TMG:okay

Gnogglebolt:Spot check; « 1d20 = 11 »

VAE is disconnected.

Ghostwish:Sonofa

VAE has connected.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddenly stops, his gnommish ears twitching. "There is something...over by that tree!" He says, pointing.

TMG:(tree to the north, that is)

VAE:i kicked the network cable

TMG:heh

Ghostwish:XD

GM:Your Spot check result was high enough to see the gnoll.

Sszeyl: (( Spot check on the tree. « 1d20+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 » ))

GM:Sszeyl's was not.

Ghostwish:You see a tree!

Sszeyl:"I don't see anything, possibly due to blood loss."

Papa:*wuffs*

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt takes a few steps in that direction. He sees the person hiding behind the tree. He blinks, quite surprised.

Sszeyl:"Terri, I would like you to tell Papa two words for me, if you would?"

Trofim:trofim meanwhile is busy playing with Papa, tossing him a branch

Gnogglebolt:Suddenly, he starts making odd snarling and yipping sounds

Elros:Elros looks quzzically over to Gnogglebolt

Terri:Sure, Mr. Sszeyl, what are they? *watching Trofim and Papa*

Derish:Can't blame him. Most gnolls are dark brown, grey, or some other plain, woodland color. This one, however, is a stark white, with smaller undertones of tan and blue. The coloration of a timber wolf comes to mind.

Trofim:Come! here! Good boy! *shakes branch and tosses it again*

Sszeyl:Sszeyl points in the direction of the gnome's snarling. "Sic 'em!"

Trofim:Fetch!

Papa:« 1d2 = 1 »

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebotl suddenly turns around, horror on his face. "NO!-"

Derish:He blinks, and then steps out into view, speaking common, "I would normally chide you for your awful accent, but I suppose I should say I mean no harm first."

Gnogglebolt:"I told him to come out and he will not be harmed!"

VAE:what did papa roll for?

Papa:*ears perk up and watches the gnoll with interest, but makes no move toward or away from the gnoll*

VAE:http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php also check this folks, the new one is hillarious as it deals with chat actions

Trofim:Trofim sees the dog watching something behind, so he turns

Trofim:Ah!

Derish:He sneezes again. "Confound it.." He mutters, and goes back to watch the group cautiously.. He's adorned in scalemail, and there's both a shield and a sword strapped to his back.

Sszeyl:"Well that was a silly thing to say. Especially considering we've got the crazy man with the flail amongst us."

Ghostwish:ogawd I love the noob.

Ghostwish:That one's been up for a while.. but I cracked up when I first saw it.


 * Terri goes over to stand by Papa.

Ghostwish:I've been doing it to people in wow.

VAE:should i take a spot checl?

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt turns back around to the new-revealed gnoll. "Greetings, gnoll. If we do not wish harm on one another, I observ you seem quite far into central Akellon, and quite alone. Is there any particular reason for this?"

GM:No need, unless you want to.

Trofim:Trofim notices Gnogglebolt speaking to someone quite far away

Sszeyl:Sszeyl at this point starts tipping over. "Oh! Gravity works!" And to the ground he faceplants.

Trofim:Who is he?

Faerie:Sorry for not saying much. I'm still getitng up to speed, resting, and eating.

Trofim:Anything to do with the lie-mages?

TMG:sure thing, alex

Terri:Mr. Sszeyl! *runs over to the drow*

Trofim:You!

Trofim:Who sent you here?

Sszeyl:"Please tell me the crazy human did not just run into the forest by himself."

Derish:He's quiet and motionless for a moment, save for a small twicth in his left ear. "Yes.. there are.. reasons, I suppose. But I would ask you first.. you've got one of the dusk elves amoungst you, and you're clearly too young to be about.. What is -" He stops, and peers at Trofirm, and then smirks. "Fate."

Trofim:*Trofim takes out Beridze*

Elros:yo Sszely "Okay then, I won't."

Elros:*to

Trofim:*whispers* What do you think, beridze, is he with the lie-mages or not?

Papa:*Papa trots up behind Trofim, one ear cocked to the side and looking very curious.*

Trofim:*Trofim notices him*

Derish:"Lie.. mages?"

Trofim:Yes!

Trofim:Those who hold people from the true magic!

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt moves over to Trofim. "Hold, human. He is but a gnoll, and they rarely dabble in the arcane. Do not worry yourself." Turning back to the gnoll, "If you do not mid me asking, what brings you here, gnoll?"

Trofim:trying to keep it for themselves, in a twisted form

Trofim:Are you with them or not!

Sszeyl:"Would one of the nice elven boys kindly drag the human away from the mysterious thing the gnome's talking to?"

Papa:« 1d2 = 1 »

Trofim:Good dog... be careful

Trofim:he might be with those evildoers

Papa:Papa grabs the human's tunic hem in his teeth and tugs gently.

Faerie:((I don't know what Sszeyl is talking about. ))

Derish:"I have never heard of these lie mages, so I am not. If they claim allegiances with me, they lie." He syas, and then looks back to Gnogglebolt. "The simple answer would be no. A more complex one is that I am an outcast."

Trofim:What is it? *kneels, but keeps looking at the Gnoll with one eye*

Papa:*woof*

Trofim:*starts pacing*

Trofim:Outcast? who from?

Sszeyl: (( In short: Get the human away from whatever might be talking to the gnome before he irritates it into killing him. ))

Derish:"My people, my home and.. that is as far as I am willing to say. It pains me, you see."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Trofim again. "Go, be with the others, There is nothing about him you need to worry about. Allow me to handle this, I have researched gnoll culture."An outcast? I see...that is most unfortunate. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Gnogglebolt Sparkgear, and these are my companions."

TMG:*whups, susppoed to be a *turns back to the gnoll* in there.

Elros:Elros approaches the group standing around the gnome. He doesn't want to interfere, but he's curious what's going on.

Liatai:« 1d8+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »

Trofim:*scratches his beard* i.. might stay... if he speaks the truth, we might have something in common

TMG:oh great x(

Trofim:If not.... *grips the handle of his heavy flails*

Papa:*walks up to the gnoll and sits, looking at him*

Sszeyl: (( "Thanks Terri." ))

Trofim:Be careful!

Sszeyl: (( whopsie. ))

Derish:"I see. Well met to you then, Sparkgear. I am Derish Snowpaw.. Although I suppose I could be called d'Snowpaw, but it is a trivial matter. I must say one thing I find odd about you-.." He stops, and peers down at the animal.. "This is not a wolf, is it?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt shaks his head as Papa and trofim move closer."

Trofim:He isn't....

Trofim:he belongs to that girl over there *points*

Papa:It looks a little too fluffy for a wolf. The dog tilts its head curiously at Derish.

Gnogglebolt:"That there is Papa. He is no wolf, but he is a canine. A dog, specifically."

VAE:hehe... maybe czechoslovak wolfdog

Derish:"I did not think so. He is too small. Far too small." He says, and peers down at Papa. "In fact, I have not seen one smaller than myself."

Sszeyl:"Terri, thank you for the potion. Now go wait with the other half-elf and cover your ears would you? I'm going to have to shout some very bad words soon."

Derish:« 1d20 = 4 »

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt moves over to Trofim, and also tugs on his elbow. "Come, let us rejoin the others."

Trofim:Hmm...

Trofim:Come boy!

Trofim:*taps his leg*

Ghostwish:« 1d20 = 20 »

Trofim:Come!

Derish:"Wait.. what is that about his neck?"

Player "Ghostwish." is not connected.

Trofim:comes closer

Gnogglebolt:"What is what about who's neck?"

Trofim:spot check « 1d20 = 4 »

Sszeyl:Sszeyl stands back up, and cracks back a bit, and goes to stand on the goblin. "Oy!" He shouts. "Did you lot forget we're in the middle of something here?"

Trofim:Hmm, i don't notice anything

Papa:*tilts head and woofs*

Derish:"Why does the tiny winter wolf wear the symbol of the Platinum Dragon?"

Papa:*ears perk up!*

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks back to Sszeyl, then to Trofim. "Yes, human, please, let us rejoin the others -now-."

Papa:*tail wag*

Sszeyl: (( Listen check 1d20 ))

Gnogglebolt:"You may come with us, Derish Snowpaw."

Sszeyl: (( I keep screwing up today is seems. ))

Trofim:wait. some symbol? You look, Beridze

Derish:"Ah ha, I thank you. I find this group most curious."

Sszeyl:« 1d20 = 4 »

Trofim:« 1d20-1 = 12 - 1 = 11 »

Sszeyl:"So good of you lot to rejoin us."

VAE:that was another spot check of course

VAE:was enough?

Gnogglebolt:Now that the group is back together, the small person looks up to the tall gnoll. "What is this you say about the dog's neck? A symbol of what?"

Sszeyl:"Less exposition! More exploring the dakr mysterious caves!"

Trofim:I think i can see it too - here *points to the tag*

Sszeyl:dark*

Derish:"This dog thing. It bears the emblem of the great Star Dragon around its neck."

Trofim:come, hold stlll *scratches the dog under chin while holding his head gently*

Sszeyl:Sszeyl stomps on the gobin before trotting off to the cave.

Terri:What's the matter?

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks over to the Sszeyl. "Patience, drow! We have not yet planned how we will enter this cave."

Trofim:History « 1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11 »

Derish:Derish looks over the group.. "A goblin, a dusk elf, and you.." He says, peering gnogglebolt. "Like a human child, but far too mature to be so."

Sszeyl:« 1d20 = 18 »

Derish:*peering at Gnogglebolt

Gnogglebolt:"I am a gnome of Mazio, you may not know of that place. But what is this about a Platinum Dragon?"

GM:Trofim, you recall seeing that symbol on a building or two, but nothing specific.

Sszeyl:Sszeyl peeks head out of the cave. "Here's how we plan to enter the cave: I go in because I can actually see what I'm doing, and you lot follow whenever you're done wasting air molecules examining dogs."

Trofim:Hmm, i saw that thing somewhere ... in Lorellon i think

Derish:"A what?" He says, tilting his head curiously.. "And you do not know of the Dragon of Many Breaths?"

Trofim:Hmm, many breaths? One's enough for me

Terri:*seems to perk up a little as well, walking over to stand by Papa and putting a hand on the dog's shoulders*

Faerie:((Would history be the most relevant check against the symbol?))

Sszeyl:Sszeyl then pops back into the cave.

Liatai:((Faerie's hit upon it. :3 History isn't the most relevant check.))

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then runs over. "Sszeyl, no! Please wait! Remember what I was proposing before?"

Sszeyl:"Not killing the goblins for sport?"

Trofim:dragon... « 1d20+0 = 13 + 0 = 13 » Nature

Faerie:((Umm...royalty check?))


 * Faerie tries to think what goes with dragons

VAE:religion i guess in this case

Gnogglebolt:"Yes, indeed. I propose we attempt to negotiate with these theives first, and if they prove uncooperative, to capture them alive. Even if you believe they should be killed for their crimes, allow me to appeal to another nature;"

Faerie:Good one.

Derish:"Bahamet!" He finally says. "The dragon god! I thought he was known everywhere?"

Gnogglebolt:"If we bring back live captives to the city, we shall be paid handsomly compared to returning with corpses."

Elros:Knowledge:Religion « 1d20+2 = 1 + 2 = 3 »

Sszeyl:"Then I suggest you hurry up and follow me, maybe snag that elf with the rope as well."

Faerie:...

Terri:*begins speaking in an unusual tongue, one that sounds rather arcane*

Gnogglebolt:"But please, be patient. Something important is going on here."

VAE:what did the nature check ome out as?

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt walks back over to Derish. "Ah yes, of course, god of all dragons. My apolgies, my mind was scattered at the moment." Gnogglebolt then suddenly looks over to Terri.

Derish:Derish blinks, and looks at Terri.. before responding in the same odd tongue.

Elros:"But if that's the case, what would Papa be doing wearing that symbol?"


 * Trofim speaks in broken draconic... hmm, platinum dragoon? where do kid like yours get to know odf this thing

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt gets in on the conversation, speeking the same language as Terri and derish, apparently.

Sszeyl:Sszeyl waits a couple of minutes. "There, I was patient. Onward I go."

Liatai:Wait a second. Sszeyl.

Liatai:Roll a Search check.

Sszeyl: (( One moment, while I get the sheet up. ))

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglbolt then looks down the cave as Sszeyl vanishes into the darkness. "You foolish, impatient drow!" He says helplessly, but shakes his head and turns back to Derish and Terri.

Terri:*smiles and continues to talk in the same arcane tongue*

VAE:just if anyone didn't notice. trpfo, s[eals draconic too

VAE:erm

VAE:trofim speaks

Ghostwish:whuups XD

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to the rest of the group. "The drow is going to get himself killed."

Trofim:Oy! Zairith will be angry if that he gets killed!

Derish:"You are willing to risk yourself for a dusk elf?"

Sszeyl:« 1d20 = 19 »

Trofim:Stay, Papi!

Trofim:Good dog!

Trofim:WAAAAIT!!!

Sszeyl: (( Also, listen check « 1d20 = 6 » ))

GM:Whew!

Gnogglebolt:"he has proven his worth already, we cannot abandon him. Come, all, we must assist him."

GM:... uh-oh. XD

GM:Trofim, Search check.

VAE:that was shouted of full mouth of course

Faerie is disconnected.

Faerie is disconnected.

Trofim:« 1d20 = 20 »

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt also starts moving towards the cave, cautiously, looking for the drow in the darkness.

GM:Whew!

VAE:nat 20

Ghostwish:(switched my token to dark vision)

GM:OK, you both notice the floor doesn't look quite right.

Faerie has connected.

GM:Like there's a... trap door here?

TMG:I have lowlight vision

GM:Good thing you didn't run across it.

Trofim:Hmm, wait there!

Sszeyl:Sszeyl stomps on the floor, and takes off glasses to examine. "...Oh dear."

Trofim:this looks like whatthey had in the dungeon!

Faerie:((Sorry, d/c'ed. Now I only see black.)

Faerie:Ah, there we go.

Colorfully-Garbed Goblin:*pauses, then shrieks loudly, readying a morningstar and jabbering in Goblin*

Sszeyl: (( I see a radius, is the gray stuff I can't see? ))

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt comes up behind Trofim and Sszeyl, his gnommish eyes allowing him to see farther in the dim conditions provided by the torch

Trofim:Disable device « 1d20 = 12 »

TMG:um...danman?

TMG:Disable Devce can't be used untrained

VAE:oh right

Sszeyl:Listen check: « 1d20 = 3 »

VAE:it might fail badly then

Elros:Elros moves up as well, attempting to see what's going on up ahead.

GM:Initiative time?

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sees and hears the jabbering goblin in the distance, and then responds in kind.

Liatai:« 1d20+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »

Sszeyl:« 1d20+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 »

Sszeyl: (( Wow, I suck epically today. ))

Trofim:« 1d20-1 = 19 - 1 = 18 »

TMG:initiative?

TMG:oh boy...

Colorfully-Garbed Goblin:The goblin doesn't stop shrieking, waving its morningstar threateningly.

Elros:« id20+3 = Invalid expression: id20+3. »

Elros:« 1d20+3 = 11 + 3 = 14 »

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

Gnogglebolt:geeze xD

Ghostwish:« 1d20+5 = 15 + 5 = 20 »

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt continued to shout back at the goblin...

Gnogglebolt:But apparently with no success. "I cannot reason with him!"

GM:All righty then, Derish's Initiative was highest. Derish's turn!

Sszeyl:"You will find that cave-dwellers rarely make for good conversation."

Liatai:« 1d20-11 = 5 - 11 = -6 » « 1d20-11 = 4 - 11 = -7 »

Ghostwish:Darn 20 foot movement speed.

GM:Ranged weapons?

Derish:Derish readies his longsword and shield, and moves forward cautiously, but stops at the floor the others were inspecting.

Ghostwish:End turn.

GM:Trofim's turn!

Trofim:Trofim readies his heavy flail, gripping it with both hands

Trofim:*whispers* let's wait for that thing on the other side to trigger the thing himself

GM:End turn?

Trofim:((yep))

GM:Elros's turn!

Elros:Elros draws his longsword, keeping a careful eye on the goblin, and trying to discern what's behind i.

Elros:*behind it.

Faerie:((How far could I move now?))

Faerie:((Or can I?))

GM:30 feet, or 6 squares.

GM:You can move past your allies, but can't stop in a space that contains one.

TMG:um... o.o

Faerie:Hm?


 * Faerie wonders what TMG is on about

GM:I meant that you can go farther into the cave if you want without worrying about running over your friends. You can pass through their spaces freely. ^^'

GM:Gnogglebolt's turn is next.


 * Faerie approaches the goblin.


 * Elros approaches the goblin.

GM:Reflex save, Elros!

Elros:« 1d20+5 = 4 + 5 = 9 »

GM:... ouch.

Faerie::x

GM:Ugliest pit ever, but it'll do. XD

Faerie:I've fallen into a pit?

GM:The trapdoors swing open with a THUD as you put your weight on it.

Faerie:((Do I take any damage for that, or am I just trapped?))\

GM:No damage, as the pit is just shy of being damaging.

GM:One moment...

GM:Tech, is there a way to center one player's vision on a part of the map?

TMG:um...

TMG:nope, enforce vision works on everyone

GM:Hmm.

Faerie:Never mind, I see me.

GM:Gnogglebolt's turn. The ranger just fell in a pit. ^^'

TMG:um...

TMG:are you using the "next turn" button in the intitative tracker?

Derish has received initiative.

Trofim has received initiative.

Elros has received initiative.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

TMG:^^

TMG:Question; does Sszeyl have any ranged weapons that Gnogglebolt's seen?

GM:That would be a question for Meany. :3

Sszeyl: (( Nope. ))

TMG:now, question for DM

GM:Yes?

TMG:can a sling be used to deal lethal or nonlethal damage without needing special skill?

Sszeyl: (( Who's up for a game of gnome chucking? :B ))

GM:-- pfft. XD

GM:Seriously, though, yeah. It can. Just take the -4 penalty to attack.

TMG:oh, that -4 is what I was referring to...

TMG:Hrm.

TMG:hohow wide is the pit, exactly?

TMG:which squares is it covering?

TMG:oh, ghostwish, draken's back

GM:It doesn't completely cover any square, but you'd have to make a Balance check to get by it.

GM:It's not a hard check, DC 5. But still a check.

TMG:or just a jump check...TMG:sam DC xD

GM:Or a jump check. :3

Sszeyl: (( :U ))

TMG:Okay, here goes...

TMG:oh, forget jumping xD

Colorfully-Garbed Goblin:*continues to jabber*

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt wants the goblin incapacitated, but he doesn't have the skill to do that exactly himself. However, he knows that slings hurt, but it' still hard to kill someone. He can help make Sszeyl's job easier, though

VAE:oh, trofim can enchant stones

VAE:it's among 1st level spells

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt moves into the space right before the pit, pulling out his sling and flining a small stone at the goblin, saying to Sszeyl "Jump overr and knock him out, if you can!"

Gnogglebolt:Sling Attack roll (normal, not nonlethal) : « 1d20+1 = 15 + 1 = 16 »

Liatai:Roll for damage!

TMG:« 1d3-1 = 1 - 1 = 0 »

TMG:eh, 1

TMG:damage can never be below 1

Ghostwish:On an unrelated note, I be so happy. My character in minecraft escaped a lava flooding cave in and made it home.

Sszeyl: (( Did that thing just hulk out? ))

Liatai:That was strange. XD

GM:« 1d10 = 3 »

VAE:Colorfully-Garbed goblin used Growth

TMG:end turn, by the way

Faerie:((Oh, I'm in the dark now, yes?))

VAE:also i keep reading it as Garbled

Sszeyl: (( Can I continue running after a jump, or does it eat up my turn? ))

GM:The stone strikes the goblin on its left arm. It winces... and then proceeds to run away, jabbering.

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Ghostwish:Is it possible to navigate around the trap?

GM:Yes you can, and yes you can.

Sszeyl:Jump check. « 1d20+4 = 18 + 4 = 22 »

GM:... huh. That's strange.

TMG:what's strange?

TMG:what the?!

Ghostwish:GIANT DROW. FLEE

Faerie:Huh what?

GM:That, and the fact that the fog of war's not disappearing.

GM:It was just fine before.

Sszeyl:Sszeyl jumps across the trap, and chases after the goblin.

VAE:who's turn?

Derish has received initiative.

Liatai::/

Faerie:*Elros wonders what's going on, and where his token went.

Derish:Derish carefully moves around the pit, and goes in pursuit.

Liatai:Meany, can you see the goblin?

Ghostwish:Derish can see him now!

Ghostwish:End turn, by the way.

TMG:wait, hold on

Liatai:Well now it's working. How odd.

TMG:why did meany only go 30 feet?

Ghostwish:Check vision settings on the token?

Meany:I can see the goblins.

TMG:geeze, why does the sszeyl token keep getting huge?

VAE:and sszeyl poofed up again

Liatai:Why the heck does it keep resizing people to Native Size when I try to edit them? XD

VAE:because he is the blink owl

VAE:like a displacer beast he occupies an area

Meany:I only went thirty feet because Sszeyl's speed is 30.

TMG:but you can do a double-move

TMG:and go 60

Meany:I was not aware of this.

Trofim has received initiative.

Liatai:Me neither. o.o

TMG:ah, okay, time out

TMG:wait, what?

TMG:liatai?

VAE:what?

TMG:You didn't know that? It's one of the most common parts of combat side from an acutal attack!

VAE:they have one standard and one move action

Liatai:I thought I told you, I don;t usually run games with a battlemap. I learned AD&D first, remember?

VAE:you an spend standard one to move as well

TMG:yes, here's how it works

TMG:you get either one stanrad action OR a standard action and a move action OR two move-actions

Liatai:I see what you mean now, I just wasn't aware of it. ^^

TMG:so if you forgoe your standard action aod do nothing but moving, you can go double your speed

TMG:liatai...

TMG:reread the PHB. Homework for you x(

Liatai:>:

TMG:so you may not have played games without a battlemap, but this....

Liatai:Shall we just get back to the battle. :/

TMG:Hoy.

TMG:yeah, back to the battle

TMG:now everyone knows

TMG:everyone reread the PHB on combat

TMG:leanr the system

Liatai:We can discuss my shortcomings later.

TMG:*learn

Liatai:For now, Trofim.

VAE:there is an easier explanation

Liatai:Not now.

VAE:a std action is more general than a move one

VAE:so it can be used as such

Liatai:I get it.

Liatai:Let's move on.

VAE:there, without confusion and "foregoing"

Faerie:x3

Ghostwish:Less chatter more clatter.

Faerie:...

Liatai:Excellently put.

Trofim:trofim stashes away his flails and tries to jump as well


 * Faerie needs to check which window he types into

Ghostwish:That saying goes back to 3.0. Means shuddup and roll the dice.

Trofim:« 1d20 +1 = 2 + 1 = 3 »

Ghostwish:XD

GM:... Elros, why don't you roll another Reflex save. XD

Trofim:Trofim jumps, but high into air instead of to distance (imagine the "mario jump" ) and plunges into the hole on top of Elros

Ghostwish:Woooow, nice GM. I would've been like DOWN YA GO.

Faerie:« 1d20+5 = 8 + 5 = 13 »

TMG:and takes the torch with him O.O

TMG:craaap

TMG:make a small light on the pit, liatai?

TMG:like, canlde-strength or something?

GM:Working on it while trying to type a description.

Elros has received initiative.

GM:Well, Elros, you've managed to avoid being squashed by a cleric!

GM:And now you have light!

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Elros:Elros quickly steps to the side, to avoid being squashed.

Faerie:((Can I run a spot check just to see if there's anything worth seeing in this hole?))

GM:By all means, but I think a Search check would be better.

Trofim:Trofim lands on his arse, the torch falling on the hole floor

GM:Anyway! Gnogglebolt's combat turn while I describe the things in the pit. :3

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt's hand smacks his forehead as Trofim follows the half-elf down the pit. He calls down. "Throw me a rope up!"

Trofim:He starts swearing loudly

Elros:search « 1d20+7 = 20 + 7 = 27 »

VAE:i don't think trofim has rope

TMG:Elros should

Trofim:I have no @$#$ing rope, @#@#! it!

Faerie:I do, yes.

Trofim:He inspects whether Beridze is allright

GM:« 1d20+1 = 13 + 1 = 14 » « 1d20+1 = 13 + 1 = 14 »

Elros:Elros gingerly picks up the pouch from the skeleton on the wall, and examines it.

Faerie:((...do I need a check?))

GM:No check! The sack is a little grimy, but it jingles.

Meany:Beware of facehuggers!

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Colorfully-Garbed Goblin:The goblin runs into the next room and starts jabbering to two other goblins.

Elros:Elros opens the leather pouch, and dumps whatever contents are jingling into his other hand.

Colorfully-Garbed Goblin:They seem to jeer at the colorfully-garbed goblin.. until they see the gnoll. Sszeyl's turn!

GM:Gold coins fall into your hand.

GM:10 GP.

Sszeyl:Sszeyl runs after the goblin.

Elros:Elros gains 10 GP, and returns the pouch to its previous, deceased owner.

Faerie:((What's the weight of 10 GP?))

Skeleton:(If I was alive, I'd be feeling robbed. But I'm very dead, so.)

Ghostwish:*SNRK*

Faerie:((It speaks? o.o

VAE:Oh, does it?

VAE:trofim might try turning then

Skeleton:(No, I don't. You're imagining things.)

Skeleton:(Perfectly normal skeleton right here. Yep. :P )

Liatai:Seriously, though, no, it doesn't talk. XP

Faerie:

VAE:even to trofim?

VAE:he already speaks with a colleague

Liatai:... I'd say Trofim is a special case. XD

Liatai:Sszeyl's turn is done, right?

Faerie:Just making sure. I figured that the skeleton wouldn't have any use for 10 GP. And how much does that weigh?

VAE:and how does it do :P without a tongue

TMG:did Elros toss a rope up to Gnogglebolt yet?

Liatai:I'm looking it up... I don't remember how much a gold piece weights.

TMG:50 gp is 1 pound

Meany:Oh right. End turn.

Liatai:So 10 GP .2 pounds.

Derish has received initiative.

Faerie:((Since I'm not in combat, can I move anyway?))

Liatai:Yeah, go right ahead.

GM:Derish's turn!

Elros:Elros examines the wall.

Liatai:Ghostwish? o.o

Elros:Elros takes his sword, and gently attempts to push the tip into a hole in the wall.

TMG:Did elsros toss his rope up to Gnogglebolt yet?

GM:It goes in a little, but then stops.

GM:No, Tech, he didn't.

TMG:Hrm.

GM:Wait until your next turn.

Derish:Derish moves forward again, trying to chase the goblins down...

Faerie:I think Elros is distracted by other things.

Derish:He comes within range of them, and growls menacingly, brandishing his longsword.

Ghostwish:End turn!

Trofim has received initiative.

GM:Trofim's in the pit...

Elros has received initiative.

GM:Elros is in the pit...

GM:Goblin turn.

Elros:Elros tries to use his sword as a lever, with what little of it he has in. He does his best to avoid damaging the hole with the blade though.

Trofim:Trofim looks for some climbable features

Trofim:search « 1d20 = 5 »

Trofim:Trofim ponders the climbability of a smooth wall

GM:« 1d20-1 = 20 - 1 = 19 »

Loud Goblin:One goblin, with a loud, shrill battle cry, attempts to throw a net it had been carrying over Derish!

Liatai:(What's Derish's touch AC?)

Droopy-Eared Goblin:The other throws a javelin at Sszeyl... « 1d20+3 = 5 + 3 = 8 »

Droopy-Eared Goblin:And misses entirely.

Ghostwish:Ah, moment..

Ghostwish:His is 11.

Loud Goblin:The net wraps around the gnoll, entangling him.

Loud Goblin:The goblin gives a loud victory cry.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Gnogglebolt:"THOW ME A ROPE!" Gnoglebolt then curses in several different languages.

Elros:Elros erks, hearing the shouting above him. He takes his coiled rope, and throws it up to Gnogglebolt.

Faerie:((Do I need to do a check?))

Colorfully-Garbed Goblin:The colorfully-garbed goblin attempts to bash the captured gnoll with his morningstar. « 1d20+2 = 18 + 2 = 20 »

Ghostwish:ow XD

Liatai:((I'd say no. It's not far.))

TMG:Okay

Colorfully-Garbed Goblin:« 1d6 = 3 » « 1d10 = 1 »

TMG:and do I need to do a check to affix the rope to anything solid?

Colorfully-Garbed Goblin:Ouch! That's a whack on the head for 3 damage.

TMG:like say, the hinges of the trapdoor itself?

GM:Yes, a Use Rope check.

Sszeyl has received initiative.

TMG:I have like...foru different craft checks, knowledge arch and engineering...

TMG:any bonuses, or could I at least use my Into bonus for use rope instead of dex? :U

Elros:Elros, meanwhile, takes one of the smaller arm bones off of the skeleton, and attempts to push that into the hole.

Sszeyl:Sszeyl moves forward and attackes the Colorfully Garbed goblin.

TMG:*Int

Liatai:You're using rope. It's Use Rope. You don't have enough skill points for synergy.

TMG:can I at least use Int bonus instead of Dex bonus, because Gnogglebolt is good with his hands, and this is tying a knot?

Liatai:No. Dex bonus.

TMG:use rope does cover more than knots, which is why it's Dex in the first place

TMG:damn

Gnogglebolt:Use Rope: « 1d20+1 = 7 + 1 = 8 »

VAE:tech

TMG:ffff.

Liatai:You could take 10.VAE:The int means you know ropetying theory

TMG:10 not good enough?

VAE:practice is something entirely else

TMG:My bonus for dex is onlu +1!

Liatai:I don't know. You'll have to see. :3

VAE:remember what happened to me in the workshop on friday?

Liatai:Attack roll, Sszeyl?

Sszeyl: (( 1d20, right? ))

Elros:Elros then attempts using the bone as a lever, in much the same way as he tried with his sword.

Liatai:Yep, plus whatever your attack bonus is for your weapon... I'm guessing you're going in bare-handed.

Sszeyl: (( Yup/ ))

Liatai:Strength check, Elros?

Sszeyl:.*

TMG:is Sszeyl doing lethal or nonlethal with his unarmed strike?

Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 13 + 3 = 16 »

VAE:wait.. those of us in the hole don't follow turns, right?

Sszeyl: (( He can't do leathal damage with it yet. ))

Liatai:Yep, that hits!

Liatai:Damage time!

Elros:strength « 1d20+2 = 2 + 2 = 4 »

Sszeyl:« 1d3+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 »

TMG:>.o

Elros:Elros backs off, and rubs hands. That thing really is stuck.

Trofim:Hey there! Are you knitting a new rope or what?

Sszeyl:Sszeyl pimpslaps the goblin into unconsciousness.

Sszeyl: (( I assume that is a good place to end turn? :U ))

Derish has received initiative.

Ghostwish:Do I need an attack roll to hit the net?

Ghostwish:Or does it count as inanimate?

Ghostwish:It's kind of all around me. *flails?*

Liatai:It counts as inanimate. ^^


 * Elros tries again to use the bone as a lever. Strength « 1d20+2 = 11 + 2 = 13 »

Liatai:K-ch!

TMG:juead, no need for attack rolls on an object, just have to beat it's hardness

TMG:*yeah

Liatai:The bone slides into place, and the northern wall starts to slide apart.

Derish:The gnoll doesn't seem to like the idea of being netted.. so he promptly slashes at the net with his longsword. « 1d8+3 = 7 + 3 = 10 »

Liatai:Damage?

Ghostwish:That was damage.

Elros:Elros takes a step back, and watches the wall separate.

Liatai:Ooh.

Trofim:What the hell?

Liatai:You now are surrounded by tattered pieces of rope. Net? What net?

Trofim:What are you messing with there?

Trofim:need help?

Trofim has received initiative.

Derish:He grins at the goblin. Gods, that's a lot of teeth. End turn!

Elros has received initiative.

Loud Goblin:The loud goblin doesn't seem quite so loud anymore. He shuts his jaw and retreats!

VAE:does elros have any reply for Trofim?

Droopy-Eared Goblin:The other goblin also retreats.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

TMG:What can gnogglebolt see about what Elros just did with the wall?

Liatai:He can see it all ^^

TMG:aaaand?

TMG:(I've been distarcted, sorry)

Liatai:And what does he do? He's your character.

TMG:*distracted

TMG:no, I mean, elaborate on what happened to the wal...

TMG:oh nevermind

VAE:he just removed a piece of it

Gnogglebolt:Hoping that his rushed knot will hold for Elros and Trofim, he yells down "I'll be back!" and attempts to get past the pit himself

Liatai:... why is the fog not disappearing.

Trofim:Screw you then! I'm outta here

TMG:any check, or can he just get around?

Liatai:Just go around.

Trofim:Trofim attempts to climb the rope

Elros:Elros shouts up to Gnogglebolt "Wait, there's something down here!"

VAE:use rope is dex, right?

Liatai:You want a Climb check, Trofim. ^^

VAE:of course *facepalm*

TMG:okay

TMG:please reitierate

TMG:what happened to the wall?

Trofim:« 1d20+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »

TMG:what did gnogglebolt see?

Liatai:It slid apart, like the hidden door before.

Liatai:There's a hidden door.

Liatai:I'm not sure how much clearer I can make it.

TMG:okay. Gnogglebolt does move on anyway

TMG:aaand I'm blind

TMG:is there no light source over there?

Trofim:Trofim jumped up onto the wall and attempted to grab the rope. Of course, this isn't the technique you want to use

TMG:I thought there was

Trofim:>bleep

Trofim:>bleep

Liatai:Okay, I'm getting really sick of technical difficulties. >

Trofim:trofim gets up from the floor and tries again

Ghostwish:Wait, do you mean the monsters not revealing sight?

Sszeyl has received initiative.

TMG:wait, hold on a sec

TMG:I don't think trofim actually failed that climb check

TMG:or wait...

Trofim:« 1d20+1 = 13 + 1 = 14 »

Liatai:You guys! When you move, the fog of war doesn't lift for some of you, but it does for others!

TMG:oh no, DC is still 5, at least

TMG:liatai

Liatai:Yes, he did. The rope's not knotted. Now he did.

TMG:it depends on light sources

TMG:I don't have darkvision

Liatai:I'm talking about the pit.

Trofim:trofim uses a more standard technique this time

Sszeyl: (( Can I move Sszeyl to his maximum distance and attack, or do I have to wait for next turn? ))

Liatai:There should be enough light to see.

Ghostwish:Yes, you can move and attack in the same round.

VAE:second one went allright, right?

TMG:by the way

TMG:I never ended my turn!

Sszeyl:Sszeyl skips around the unconcious goblin, and goes after the loud one.

Liatai:Tech: There's no light source. Everyone who went in there has darkvision.

Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 9 + 3 = 12 »

TMG:Okay, then please revert my move

TMG:I should have knownk if there was light around the corner or notr

TMG:thanks

Liatai:Sszeyl: Your strike whiffs over the goblin's head. Slippery little bugger!

TMG:Instead gnogglbolt spends his turn making sure the knot is stable enough tos upprot Elros and trofim's weight

Derish has received initiative.

Ghostwish:Not really. There's many cases where you can't see a light until you're looking straight at it.

Meany:The closer you go to the light, the longer your shadow becomes.

Meany::B

Liatai:Derish's turn!

TMG:(liatai, did fiddling with the rope's knot impove the orignal check any?)

Liatai:Why don't you roll another Use Rope check to find out. :3

TMG:I'm trying to imporve it, not do it all over >.>

Trofim:Finally, damn it!

Derish:Derish manuvers again, snarling as he chases after the goblins, and puts himself in a position to pin them in.

Ghostwish:End turn!

Elros:Elros takes out his lamp, and lights i, curious what's inside the doorway.

Faerie:There we go.

Trofim has received initiative.

VAE:can he walk around the thing?

Liatai:Yep!

VAE:there seem to be a gap

VAE:is a roll needed?

Liatai:Nope.

Meany:...8

Meany:>8*

Trofim:*speaks to beridze* You could have mentioned that to me sooner!

TMG:Rejoining...

VAE:end turn

Elros has received initiative.

TMG is disconnected.

TMG has connected.

Loud Goblin:The loud goblin, feeling hemmed in, draws its morningstar and attempts to whack Sszeyl's knees out from under him.

Loud Goblin:« 1d20+2 = 14 + 2 = 16 »

TMG:um....

Loud Goblin:« 1d6 = 3 »

TMG:what was the problem, again? o.o

Liatai:.. oh, sure NOW it works.

Liatai:3 damage to Sszeyl!

Faerie:^this

TMG:okay, rejoing as player again

TMG is disconnected.

TMG has connected.

Droopy-Eared Goblin:The other goblin, seeming steeled by the sight of the other goblin getting hemmed in, tries to hit Derish.

Droopy-Eared Goblin:« 1d20+2 = 6 + 2 = 8 »

Droopy-Eared Goblin:Turns out, its resolve wasn't enough to let it land a blow.Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Derish:He just laughs as te goblin swings wide.

TMG:okay

TMG:since I can't see my onw guy right now, I'm going to point out where I'd like him moved to ^^

Elros:Elros slowly steps down the cave, his sword drawn in one hand, and the lantern in the other.

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Gnogglebolt:and before leaving

Gnogglebolt:he called back down to Elros

Meany:Hmm.

Gnogglebolt:"We can explore it when the others are not in danger!"

Meany:Do I roll a fort save or reflex save to stay on my feet?

Elros:Good point.

Elros:climb « 1d20+5 = 16 + 5 = 21 »

Liatai:You succeed! :D Here, let me teleport you back to the surface.

Liatai:*vworp vworp vworp*

Liatai:Meany: To stay on your feet?

Liatai:No, no save required. ^^

Meany:The goblin swung at Sszeyl's knees.

Meany:Ah.

Sszeyl:Sszeyl attacks again. « 1d20+3 = 4 + 3 = 7 »

Liatai:No dice!

Liatai:Your attack doesn't hit, I mean. ^^'

Derish has received initiative.

Liatai:... crud. Dinner. >:

TMG:how long D:

Liatai:I'll try to make it short. ^^'

Liatai:Uhm... break time? ^^'

Faerie:I have to go to a meeting in 15 minutes.

Liatai:All right, then.

VAE:that's great

VAE:at least danman can go to the bathroom

Liatai:I hate to end in the middle of a battle, but it might be a good place to call it. Tadrim can hear the battle and go check it out next session?

VAE:hmm, vote?

TMG:hmm...

Ghostwish:Aw

Faerie:Yea for ending now.

Ghostwish:Lemme bash a gobby!

TMG:Perhaps we can finish knokcing out these two goblins first

TMG:then end it

Liatai:OK, but I'm being called away, so let's make it quick.

Derish:Derish swings viciously at the loud goblin « 1d20+6 = 1 + 6 = 7 » for « 1d8+3 = 5 + 3 = 8 » damage!

Ghostwish:Buggering son of a...

Liatai:Bash the right gobby, and the other might surender. :3

VAE:what timezone is alex in?

Faerie:Eastern

Trofim has received initiative.

VAE:i mean... who has meetings at 7pm sunday?

TMG:I was thinking we could just mop up after you had dinner, liatai

Faerie:VAE: My dorm does.

Trofim:WHERE ARE YOU?

Faerie:Apparently.

Liatai:I'll try to make it quick.

Elros has received initiative.

Trofim:more of the swine?

Ghostwish:I love these handdrawn maps.

Elros:Elros runs up to join the fight.

VAE:that's DnD Standard for danman

VAE:did i drop?

Meany:Nope.

TMG:nope, we're just taking a break

TMG:till liatai gets back

Meany:During this downtime.

TMG:then we finish combat, then it's over

Meany:I have bad news.

VAE:what bad news?

VAE:quick

Meany:I might have found a job.

VAE:niiice

VAE:congratz!

Meany:Shovelling sand into a furnace.

TMG:>.o

VAE:good enough is!

Meany:From midnight to eight in the morning.

Meany:Everyday. Except friday and saturday.

VAE:8 hours? how much do they pay?

Meany:Twelve dollars an hour.

VAE:yay!

TMG:10 an hour is standard for an entry-level job...

VAE:making better money than me


 * VAE congratulates meany

Meany:Do you see the problem yet?

VAE:no


 * VAE is oblivious

Meany:I would probably be in a sleep-induced coma during DnD time.

Meany:Especially the first few weeks.

VAE:hmm, that's true

VAE:we might wanna move it to saturday mornings for me and late fri night for you

Ghostwish:Damnit, IRL! Why can't you just buzz off!?

TMG:vae; no good for sofox

VAE:especially since that means Meany will likely have a sleeping schedule like me

Ghostwish:Saturday mornings cooould work.. tech's game is more afternoonish.

VAE:well, sofox isn't there now even

VAE:i mean, meany comes to the games, sofox never has time seems

TMG:sofox does have time

Faerie:Saturday mornings are when I sleep.

TMG:it's just early morning for me

TMG:and he said he can make it all sundays,

TMG:it was jyust -this- one he couldn't

VAE:yeah...

TMG:either way, we can't change times again until he's around and we can talk to him

VAE:that's true

VAE:however arguing it nw is meaningless

VAE:and off i fo

VAE:go

Ghostwish:I can has free xp?

Meany:Which reminds me. >>

Faerie:Okay guys, I have to get going now.

Meany:I wonder if I got any xp from the other goblin.

Meany:Seeya.

Faerie:I'll stay connected, but I won't be on.

Liatai:I return!

Meany:Welcome back.

Meany:Scroll up, if you would.

TMG:okay, let's knock this out real quick

Liatai:One moment. Scrolling up.

Liatai:Hmm.

Liatai:... oh wow. You guys have this one surrounded. XD

Liatai:Hmm. :/ Yeah, this is something we'll need to talk about when the whole gang can get together.

Meany:In any event.

Loud Goblin:The loud goblin, now much quieter, looks around at the others... cracks a nervous smile, then holds up his hands.

Meany:Stabbing time!

TMG:okay, ah...

TMG:goblin is surrendering?

VAE:danman's back

Sszeyl:"Smile while you can, princess."

Droopy-Eared Goblin:The other goblin, looking on, drops its jaw and stares.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Gnogglebolt:On his short gnome legs

TMG:hey!

TMG:I didn't say end turn yet!

Liatai:I'm just moving it ahead so people know who's next, keep yer short trousers on.

TMG:alrighty


 * VAE ponders stealing someone's rice

Gnogglebolt:On his short gnome legs, Gnogglebolt runs as fast as he can towards the group and sees that the goblins appear to be surrendering. Perfect!

Gnogglebolt:"Do not harm them! They surrender!"

TMG:aand good place to end session?

TMG:if they're surrendering, I guess combat is over?

VAE:if you wish so...

Liatai:Sszeyl still has initiative.

Liatai:Let's see what he does first. :3

Sszeyl: (( Bweheheheheheh. ))

Sszeyl:Sszeyl twitches an eyelid at this sudden pacifism, then seizes the formerly loud goblin by the nose and drags it over to the gnome. "You two, start flapping your noise holes at each other."

Loud Goblin:The goblin makes several sputtering noises while it's being dragged.

Droopy-Eared Goblin:The other goblin seems to be in shock. XD

Sszeyl:"I'll get to you in a minute, droopy!"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Sszeyl. "Thank you, this is exactly ideal. We can work with this."

Derish:Derish turns about, and marches forward to the goblin, staring down at him. "And you?" He barks in his native tongue, longsword painfully obvious.

Gnogglebolt:He then looks to the goblin, and starts speaking in what must be the goblin's language

Droopy-Eared Goblin:The goblin looks frightened... then seems to just give up, hanging its head.

Droopy-Eared Goblin:It says something in Goblin.

Sszeyl:...Oh right, Sszeyl had forgotten to let go of the goblin's nose. There ya go.

Loud Goblin:The loud goblin jabbers at Sszeyl and then grumpily huffs.

Sszeyl:"I'm sorry, you wanted to meet Madam Stabby? Is that what you said?" When did Sszeyl draw his sai? The world may never know. In either event the goblin has a clear view of it.

Gnogglebolt:Gnoggbolt practically barks

Loud Goblin:The goblin grumbles in a surly way.

Trofim:Need help over there?

Trofim:Trofim stands next to the goblin

Liatai:Be back in a few... ^^'

TMG:Gnogglebolt continues to repsond to the goblin, with a much more level voice

Sszeyl:"Yes, someone's got to toss this one," Sszeyl taps the colourful goblin, "across the trapdoor.

Sszeyl:"+

Derish:The large gnoll gestures for the goblin to follow, with his longsword no less, and walks over to where the others are.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then goes on an especially long speech at the goblin.

Sszeyl:Sszeyl goes over to the water's edge and looks in.

Sszeyl:Spot check « 1d20 = 10 » :U

Meany:Hmm, I wonder if I could take ten on that.

Ghostwish:Stare at it. FOREVER.

Loud Goblin:The loud goblin falls silent, then says something that sounds angry.

Trofim:YOU WHAT?

Trofim:*Trofim grabs the goblin by the collar and lifts him up*

Gnogglebolt:"trofim, stop!"

Loud Goblin:The goblin yaps at Trofim and struggles.

Gnogglebolt:"This is very delicate!"

Gnogglebolt:"Put him down, let me talk to him!"

Derish:"I find my language skills lacking. Perhaps further exploration is in order?"

Droopy-Eared Goblin:The droopy-eared goblin yaps.

Trofim:*Trofim slams the goblin back on his feet*

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then says something firm in Goblin again

Meany:"Tell him if I have to come back over there, bad things will happen."

Meany:Whoopsie.

Sszeyl:"Tell him if I have to come back over there, bad things will happen."

Loud Goblin:The other goblin yaps, but doesn't seem to be talking to Gnogglebolt.

Sszeyl:"I fancy a swim, try not to get yourselves killed."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt does seem to say something directly after Sszeyl

Derish:Derish moves around them, and stands by the entrance, peering into the darkness.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then shakes his head at something the loud goblin says. He point to the droopy-eared one. "Bring him here."

Sszeyl:Sszeyl deposits his zai, upper body wrap, and items on the shore, shucks off sandals, and dives in with one sai in teeth. Cause he's awesome like that.

Sszeyl:Swim check « 1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12 »

Liatai:Swim check, Sszeyl?

VAE:was that at trofim?

Liatai:Ah! Yep, no problems... how about a Spot check?

VAE:i mean, what tech said

TMG:at anyone

TMG:but here's next to him, now, it's okay

Trofim:Trofim grabs the goblin and takes him to place

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then speaks to the droopy-eared goblin.

Trofim:again, manipulating him in a rather brute manner

Droopy-Eared Goblin:The droopy-eared goblin does not resist, and in fact looks quite melancholy.

Gnogglebolt:"Be gentle!"

Gnogglebolt:"He looks like he will cooperate."

Derish:"He looks like a goblin."

VAE:i forgot to move

Droopy-Eared Goblin:The goblin shrugs.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt turns back to the loud goblin.

Loud Goblin:The loud goblin harrumphs.

Sszeyl:Sszeyl surfaces, and tries again.

Sszeyl:« 1d20+4 = 19 + 4 = 23 »

Liatai:Sszeyl, you manage to grab a silver chalice off the bottom of the pond!

Derish:Derish, rather bored, goes meandering off down the way.

Sszeyl:Sszeyl surfaces with the chalice and swims to shore.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt lets out a breath, and smiles.

Derish:He pauses, and peers into the pit.

Gnogglebolt:"It was difficult, but I convinced them to come quietly. They will give us no trouble."

Gnogglebolt:"Tie them up--gently!-- and take them to the outside of the cave."

Gnogglebolt:To the goblins

Liatai:The pit is dark. The northern wall has a door in it that is wide open, and there is a skeleton clutching a grimy pouch on the floor.

Ghostwish:How deep is the pit?

Loud Goblin:The loud goblin grumbles and crosses his arms.

Liatai:The pit is 9 feet deep.
