TMG has connected.

VAE has connected.

Ghostwish has connected.

Meany has connected.

Meany:Yo.

Liatai:Yo! I'm making tokens for you...

Meany:Does this colour burn your eyes?

Liatai:... Meh, not really. ^^

Liatai:Okay, Meany, if I may direct your attention over here?

Liatai:I have two versions of Barbarus tokens for you. Which would you prefer? ^^

TMG:hmm, is the rest of us supposed to see it?

TMG:*are

Liatai:Why not? This isn't where he's going to show up. >:3

TMG:(I can't, by the way, just checking)

VAE:nope.. the colour gets diluted by my dirty lenses

Meany:Sorry, bit of lag.

TMG:b-b-b-but it's the new awesomecomp! D:TMG:...right?

Meany:And it hasn't ever loaded a MapTool server before.

TMG:ah o.o

Meany:Other laptop had lag the first time too.

Meany:Now, tokens.

Liatai:1, or 2?

TMG:testing

Liatai:Reading you loud and clear.

Meany is disconnected.

VAE:Here is danman!

Meany has connected.

Meany:I prefer the one on the left, if that's alright. :>

Liatai:Number 1? Okay. ^^

Meany:...Where's Alex?

Meany:Also, thankee!

Meany:...

Meany:Forgot to uninsert smileys.

Faerie has connected.

Meany:Speak of the devil. :o Or rather, Faerie.

Faerie:Yep. Somehow totally managed to miss the message saying that the server is up.

Liatai:Can I assume you guys disposed of all the pumpkinhead corpses? X3

Meany:We planted a garden. :D

VAE:Trofim gathered all the seeds he could and will bake them subsequentily

Liatai:Hee. OK. ^^

TMG:yeah, I think the group went through and cleaned up all the pumpkinheads

GM:Roll call~!

TMG:Present!

VAE:'ere!

Meany:Yo.

Faerie:'sup?


 * Liatai pokes Ghostwish.

Ghostwish:Meow.

GM:Everyone's map is loaded, and folks are mostly lag-free?

Meany:Aye.

Meany:I can even scroll around the map freely. :D

Liatai:Yaaaaaaay! :D

Ghostwish:Loaded. :D

TMG:so, the morning after!

GM:All right, then! Last time on Akellon Z...

GM:There was much planning, much talking, and much lifting of cages.

VAE:And much snoring

GM:And now, finally, after what feels like a dog's age... Day! Two!

GM:Begin! :D

VAE:*lighting strikes8


 * Papa has pounced Sszeyl and is currently trying to lick his face.

Sszeyl:Ack!

Trofim:*Wakes up*

Sszeyl:"Papa, good morning to you to." Sszeyl has learned to not fight the goodnatured dogs by now.


 * Brian Toris is snoring on the floor beside the table.

Gnogglebolt:After a decent rest, the gnome begins to stirr. His eyes blink open and he is still for a moment, then he sits straight up suddenly as he remembers what is going on.

Terri:Giggling, Terri runs up and tugs on Papa's fur a little. "Good morning, Mr. Sszeyl!"

Trofim:That was a scary dream...

Sszeyl:"Morning Terri, did you sleep well?"

Derish:Derish slowly stirs awake, snuffing loudly and flicking his ears.

Terri:"Mm-hmm! Did you? -- Oh, silly Papa!"

Trofim:*picks up Beridze* At least you slept well

Barshal:Barshal is as quiet as ever. You'd think he was asleep, up until you remember he doesn't sleep.

Gnogglebolt:He spends a few minutes to get his leather armor and pack on. As he puts on his pack, he spends a few minutes fiddling with the straps...and figure out how to distribute the load better.

Sszeyl:"Drow don't sleep Terri, we just shut our brains off for a while."

Meany:Wasn't Barshal supposed to be patroling?


 * Papa jumps away from Sszeyl, wagging his tail and performing a dog "play bow."

Gnogglebolt:"Well, I better do a headcount, make sure no one vanished in the middle of the night..."

Papa:*Play! Play! :D*

Trofim:*puts on his scale mail, and ties it with the rope all his pouches hang from

Trofim:Ouch!

Trofim:Watch where you go!

Sszeyl:The Drow stands up a bit, and looks at the dog's odd behaviour. "Um..Terri?" A gesture at the dog to indicate question.

Elros:Elros is perched up against the side of one of the cages. He wakes up, and surveys the room.

Trofim:*Trofim rubs his knee that has collided with the gnome*

Trofim:Papa!

Gnogglebolt:"Trofim...Elros, Barshal, Justiniant, Nintrok, Slat..."

Elros:Elros makes a motion at Gnogglebolt, to show he's still here.

Gnogglebolt:"Derish..."

Trofim:*rubs the dog's fur*

Gnogglebolt:"Maximillian, Brian, Sszeyl, Terri..."

Gnogglebolt:"Papa..."

Maximillian Toris:"He's trying to get you to play with him... which he really needs to learn, some people need their morning meal before playtime." Max chuckles, then waves to the gnome as he passes through.

Sszeyl:"I had a snack just a few hours ago, I can entertain him while you eat, if you wish."

Derish:Derish takes his time to don his armor and check his sword.


 * Justinian Rubus is fast asleep against the wall in the cage room.

Sszeyl:"Morning Gnogglebolt."


 * Slat yawns LOUDLY and stretches.

Gnogglebolt:"Well, I suppose that's everyone." gnogglebolt notices Papa's behavior. He grins, pulling out a random ball of leather from his pack.


 * Nintrok seems to be meditating.

Papa:*:D!!!*

Gnogglebolt:"Papa want to play?" He says in abrupt speech, waving the ball around

Papa:*Play! Play! :D*

Gnogglebolt:"Go get it!" he throws the ball down the corridor

Sszeyl:"So that's how one plays with dogs?"

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


 * Papa drops the ball at Gnogglebolt's feet and does another play bow. Again? :D

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt's eyes go wide as he suddenly realizes the dog that's bigger than he is is running bakc towards him.

Gnogglebolt:"Oh, blitznak"

Papa:*PLOW*

Trofim:It is! .... where did you get the ball fro... AHAHAHAHA

Meany:Did you just seriously say Blitznak?

Meany:xD* Papa drops the ball on the gnome's shoulder. Again? :D

TMG:He knows eight languages, remember :P


 * Maximillian Toris can't help it. He bursts out laughing.

VAE:funny too... blit means to barf in slovak XD


 * Brian Toris groans and tries to pull a blanket over his head. Too early. -.-

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebo,t rather dazed, unsteadly reaches for the ball and throws it back down the corridor. "Go get it..."

Gnogglebolt:After the dog rushes off, he stands up, and hides behind the others.

Sszeyl:Sszeyl raises an eyebrow. "That doesn't seem like a game you should encourage."


 * Papa retrieves it and drops it at the feet of whoever happens to be closest. Again, again! :D

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up at the Sszeyl. "it works better when the dog is smaller than you are...momentary lapse of clarity, for me."

Sszeyl:Gah, afk.


 * Nintrok finishes meditating and stands up slowly, stretching his arms over his head.

Justinian Rubus:*... snore...*

Elros:Elros wanders into the other chamber, where he hears voices coming from.

Terri:"Hi Mr. Elros!" Terri waves.

Trofim:*Trofim picks the ball up*

Elros:Elros nods at Terri.

Gnogglebolt:"Well...I suppose we should start setting out our early-warning and continuing preparation..."

Derish:Derish sighs and stands up after checking his gear, and prods the snoozing gaurdsman.

Brian Toris:"... too loud," Brian grumbles, shoving his head further under the blankets.

Trofim:So, you like this? He waves the ball about the dog's nose, then throws it down the hall

Gnogglebolt:"I have an idea about our early-warning, though."

Justinian Rubus:*snork -- zzzzzz.*

Elros:"Yes, what exactly are our plans for setting the ambush?"

Derish:He prods again.

Justinian Rubus:*mumblegrumble... zzz.*

Derish:Prod. Prod. Prod.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up at Elros. "I set out the majority of the plan last night..."


 * Justinian Rubus swats at Derish's paw, slowly waking up.

Gnogglebolt:"We just need a way to be alerted ahead of time, and I have an idea for that."

Elros:"Well yes, but who will be posted where?"

Justinian Rubus:"Snnxx... uhh... what --" The guard's eyes suddenly snap open.

Gnogglebolt:"Ah, that."

Justinian Rubus:"-- GNOLL!!!"

Gnogglebolt:"Yes, we need to work that out. Let us get everyone into the--"

Derish:"Yes?"

Gnogglebolt:"...Did you hear something?"


 * Justinian Rubus scrambles for his sword.

Derish:Derish is sitting on it.

Barshal:Barshal would be smirking, if he could.

Gnogglebolt:Frowning, gnoggletbolt heads down the corridor.

Sszeyl: (( Back. ))


 * Papa drops the soggy leather ball at Trofim's feet.

Gnogglebolt:(assuming Gnogglebolt catches the rushed movement about) "What the--hey! What's going on here?" He calls in the room.

Justinian Rubus:The guard, feeling cornered and half-asleep, appears to be trying to scramble up the wall.

Trofim:Haha! Smart papa! *Trofim now throws the ball in a tall arc* Bring!

Gnogglebolt:"Er, Justinian? What are you doing?"

Sszeyl:"...Is your brother...oh, whats the Common word, hanged over, he has the drunken sickness, Terri?"

Derish:And Derish.. isn't doing a thing to stop it. He's just sitting, half-amusedly watching the guard.

TMG:(ohey, Caswin can watch, right?)

VAE:i guess so

Elros:Elros wonders what's going on as well. he goes back to the cage room and...watches a guard attempt to climb a wall.

Justinian Rubus:He gets on top of one of the cages before seeming to slowly realize what, exactly, is going on here.

Derish:"Remind me to wake him up a big, loud BOO for now on." Derish says, grinning broadly.

Liatai:Sure!

Gnogglebolt:"...What in garl's name are you doing up there, Justinian?"

Barshal:"Organics.." Barshal mutters, shaking his head.

Justinian Rubus:"-- Don't DO that!"

Justinian Rubus:He looks down at Gnogglebolt. "-- Uh, I was just, um..."

Terri:"Drunken... sickness? I dunno..."

Derish:"Watching out for terrible maruding gnolls?" Derish asks, clearly enjoying this entirely too much.

Sszeyl:"The headaches and vomiting that one experiences after a night of drunkeness."

Maximillian Toris:"He's just a late riser." Max pokes his drowsy lump of a brother with the toe of his boot. "Lazy."

Sszeyl:The Drow, who had only been mildly curious before aahs in understanding.

Caswin has connected.

Meany:Yo.


 * Brian Toris mutters something like "... not lazy, lemme sleep, *Draconic swear word* chipper bard..."

Liatai:Heyo!

Trofim:*snorts*

Ghostwish:Gyaaah. I already want to play another 'How drunk did Fenix get last night?' game.. but Derish isn't a drinker, and Barshal -can't- drink. Darn the luck! XD

Trofim:Tha'ss a good one!

Trofim:*repeats the word combination a few times to commit it to memory*


 * Brian Toris glares grumpily out from under the blanket. "... damn morning people..."

Sszeyl:"...Okaaaay." The Drow claps his hands, purposefully making a bit of noise to annoy the lazy human.

Sszeyl: (( I forget, is that apple tree outside fruiting? ))

VAE:I guess so but they are likely to be plain apples

Barshal:Barshal looks over at gnoggblebolt. "Last night was peaceful. Do we have any idea when these defilers might show themselves?"


 * Justinian Rubus climbs down, trying his very best to look unruffled... « 1d20 = 2 »

Justinian Rubus:... and fails at it. Terribly. XD

Gnogglebolt:"Anyway," Gnogglebolt says to everyone in the cage room, "We have a few more details to work out. Shall we go to the others?" *repeats in goblin*

Liatai:Yep, it is.

Derish:Derish needs a will save just to keep from laughing. He fails. Terribly.

Caswin is disconnected.

Barshal:"So be it."


 * Nintrok nods at Gnogglebolt and gestures to Slat.

Sszeyl:"I'm going to check on Fuzzy and get some of those crisp vegetables off that tree. Anyone want one while I'm out?"

Derish:Derish passes by the poor guard, grinning at him with entirely too many teeth.

VAE:I think the defilers will be behind the zerglings and hydralisks

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Barsha;. "According to the goblins, one of their clients usually comes tomorrow, actually. It's possible this entire venture will be uneventful."

Terri:"Ooh! I'll have one!"

Barshal:"Good morning papa."

Derish:"Little puppy!"

Elros:"Well, there's worse fates than the uneventful, I suppose."

Caswin has connected.


 * Papa looks up at Barshal and Derish, carrying a soggy leather ball in his mouth and wagging his tail.

Trofim:Hmm... allright.. better than nothing... you know which ones to pick, do you?

Brian Toris:*mumble grumble*

Sszeyl:"Not a clue, but the shiny ones are what they had in town, so those are probably the best-ah."

Sszeyl:Seeing the newcommers, Sszeyl repeats. "I'm going for some of those vegetables off the tree, anyone want one?"

Trofim:Shiny... y'know what? I'll go with ya


 * Maximillian Toris raises a hand. "One for me and the lump in the corner!"


 * Sszeyl tries to not look horrified. « 1d20 = 7 »

Gnogglebolt:"Ah, yes, breakfast...who bought the rations?"

Sszeyl:And fails terribly.

Derish:"Are you planning on picking up any carts or angering any birds?"

Trofim:*Trofim follows Sszeyl, turning his head* Even Beridze knows which apples are ripe... what did they teach this lad?

Ghostwish:The last time I saw this many tokens was in the Claw. XD

Caswin is disconnected.

Sszeyl:"Will you let that go already?" Sszeyl's face turns a lavender colour while he stalks out with Trofim.


 * Brian Toris tries to pull Max's boot off in a grumpy, sleepy attempt at revenge.

VAE:oh, just a silly idea since people didn't change their token's properties yet

Faerie:brb, gonna grab some food.

Derish:"Funny, I thought I was the one who was injured." Derish says, grinning.

Terri:"Seeya later, Mr. Sszeyl, Mr. Trofim!"

VAE:Everyone gains the HP and other level properties after eating the apples

VAE:and end up being surprised

Caswin has connected.

Barshal:"I believe there was something to be discussed?"

TMG:so...Gnogglebolt and those staying in the cave eat some rations fro breakfast?

Barshal:Barshal doesn't eat.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt loks over to Barshal, opening his packet of rations. "When those two get back."


 * Sszeyl stands under the tree. "I'll go up and look around, you tell me which to get?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt also makes sure the goblins get some rations, too.

Terri:"Did everybody sleep okay?"

Drayco has connected.

Sszeyl: (( Yo. ))

Derish:Derish hrms, and considers his chances of finding something out in the wild.

Liatai:Yo! :D

TMG:okay, we got caswin and drayco watching now ^^

Sszeyl: (( Kaid's still asleep. ))

Derish:Derish wanders outside, and « 1d20+2 = 6 + 2 = 8 » survival check!

Trofim:See? In here, the red ones... but other trees have other colours.. The ones you wanna eat are generally a bit bigger and softer than the other ones

Derish:Aw. Doesn't look like he caught any game. But he did find some wild fruits and veggies.

Sszeyl:« 1d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14 » Climb check.

Trofim:but not so soft you can push your hand in, that's *bleep* rotten

Ghostwish:If that's okay with the DM? ^^

VAE:Can i take a 10 on profession (peasant) to gather good apples?

Drayco:Holy crap, it's Lloyd!!!

VAE:actually, even a 20, since time is not an issue

Liatai:Someone recognized him! XD

Drayco:I mean, I'm just a fly on the wall.

VAE:what Lloyd? Where?

VAE:you mean the tokens?

Liatai:It's actually a very un-Lloyd like character. He was just the closest character I could find to match Brian there's appearance. X3

Drayco:Yes.

VAE:what about my question?

Drayco:Try grabbing some from Tales of the Abyss then.

Liatai:No, I don't think a check would be needed.


 * Sszeyl nabs the apples which fit Trofim's description and hides them away in a segment of wrap he'd undone to carry the fruits.

Faerie:Back now, sorry.


 * Liatai points at Max.

Sszeyl:Er, crips vegetables.

Drayco:Anyway, readin' Savage Species.

Derish:Derish comes back in, munching on his finds.

Trofim:Trofim picks up the best apples he can find, both on tree and on the ground, and stuffs them in one of the plentiful pouches his rope-belt carries

Trofim:Allright... let's go back


 * Brian Toris eventually does wake up, looking surly as ever.

Trofim:The apples will be here tomorrow as well


 * Sszeyl hops down, « 1d20+2 = 15 + 2 = 17 » Balance to avoid dropping any apples on the way down.


 * Terri shares her rations with Papa.

Trofim:Tha'ss another thing... lots of the better apples are on the grass down.. no need to *bleep*ing go up

Sszeyl:"Nyeeh."

Sszeyl:Sszeyl sticks his tongue out at Trofim on the way back.

Brian Toris:"Mrrrrgh... need tea..."

Trofim:*ouch*

Trofim:Trofim hit the wall with his forehead and for a moment the world went dark

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt finishes his light breakfast as Sszeyl and Trofim return.


 * Brian Toris heads back toward the supply room, looking for fire to heat water with.


 * Sszeyl returns to the common room, and sets apple-laden fold down on the table, then proceeds to transfer.

Trofim:*bleep*ing stalactites

Caswin:((Like a rock. Oohh, like a rock.))

Trofim:'ere are the apples, folks!

Caswin:((...sorry.))

Liatai:X3Trofim:*trofim takes out a large pouch and pours the apples onto the table

Terri:"Apples!!" :D

Gnogglebolt:"Anyway--" Gnogglebolt started, then trailed off as Brain went down the corridor. He then shook his head.

Gnogglebolt:"Anyway."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt makes sure he's got everyone's attention after apples are passed around.

Gnogglebolt:"A few more details that need to be set out."

Maximillian Toris:"Don't worry about it. He's a regular zombie without his morning cuppa." Max munches an apple, nodding thanks to the drow and the cleri-- 'wizard.'

Derish:Derish looks up from his munching. "What, more?"

Trofim:Hah! take as much as ya like.. they aren't a wonder but better than i thought

Trofim:*Takes an apple and starts munching as well*

Gnogglebolt:"First up is who will be pretending to be prisoners in the cages, and who will be hiding in the side room."

Brian Toris:Those of you with sharp ears might hear a loud expletive from the supply room, followed by "EVERBURNING TORCH!!"

Sszeyl:"Hmm?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt presses a hand to his forehead.

TMG:(I'm giggling irl, though xD )

You whisper to VAE: >:3

Sszeyl:"I hope he doesn't mess with that pit, it's quite a wonderful place to Trance."

Barshal:"I believe someone is having a brain malfunction."

Brian Toris:*swear swear grumble grouch*


 * Terri covers Papa's ears with her hands.

Gnogglebolt:"So...as whoever is in the cages are pretending to be -prisoners-, it would be rather suspicious if the prisoner in question is clad in heavy armor."

Trofim:Profession(peasant) « 1d20+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 »

VAE:ouch

VAE:Trofim is truly the new Lysenko

Gnogglebolt:"So...who here is confident in their fighting prowess that they do not need armor?"

Sszeyl:"I don't have armor, and if I may say so, my kind are pretty rare in these parts."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt does nod at Sszeyl, and continues looking at the other.

Gnogglebolt:*others

Caswin:((...So that's what a hundred messages coming in at once sounds like. Carry on.))

Barshal:"A moot point for myself. I am armored, whether I like it or not."

TMG:o.o

Derish:"Not me."

Maximillian Toris:"Well, I don't mean to brag, but I'm not too shabby at fighting unarmored."

Faerie:"Hm. A thought, perhaps, but if someone is not so confident in combat in general, would not the cages be safer?"

Trofim:Trofim is surprised... the apple he ate tasted like a pear

Papa:*Woof!*

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Elros. "Actually, I think our noncombatants will be hiding back here, or even further back."

Faerie:...whups, sorry, that should've been IC as Elros.

Sszeyl:"The strore room can be defended easily if it comes to that."

Gnogglebolt:"So, I suppose that's Sszeyl as one to pretend to be a prisoner, Max to be another...I suppose that's everyone?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks down the corridor. "What about Brian?"


 * Brian Toris trudges back in with a steaming mug of tea.

Sszeyl:"You didn't meddle with the fire pit did you?"

Gnogglebolt:"Ah, there you are." Gnogglebolt swiftly summarizes what's been said to him.


 * Sszeyl is sounding oddly annoyed.

Brian Toris:"Mm." Brian sips tea.

Brian Toris:Whether that's a "yes" mm, a "no" mm, or a "shut up and let me drink my tea" mm is hard to tell. :P

Sszeyl:[1d20+3

Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 » Sense motive.

Sszeyl::PVAE:ahaha.. the day of low rolls

Liatai:... well, he failed by 5 or more... so he would infer that Brian did, indeed, mess with the fire pit. XD

VAE:ahaahahahha!

Sszeyl:« 1d20+2 = 3 + 2 = 5 »

Sszeyl:Will save to not go check on the pit. :P

TMG:o.O

Sszeyl:"Be right back."

Brian Toris:Fortunately for Sszeyl, Brian passed his Reflex save to avoid dropping his tea with flying colors.


 * Sszeyl uses freaky kung fu skills to sail over Brian, and go down the hall to the store room.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt arches an eyebrow at the retreating Drow, then shakes his head and looks back to Brian. "Well?" he asks, having already told Brain what happened

VAE:oh, danman just found he has the poor man's war pick with him

Sszeyl: (( Liatai. ))

Sszeyl: (( The server password is stakeout, right? ))

Liatai:Yep!

VAE:the old back from computer chair - a metallic pipe with a perpendicular rather thin piece of metal welded on one end

Sszeyl: (( Kaid's trying to connect, it's saying that the password's wrong. ))

VAE:she is trying as GM

Brian Toris:"... I'd prefer not to be stuck in a cage." Sip.

TMG:is she trying to join as player or gm?

TMG:and brb

VAE:that's what i accidentally did

Sszeyl: (( Nope, player. ))

Liatai:... Huh. How odd.

Derish:"I would look strange."

VAE:then it must be capslock or mistyping

VAE:the password does work

VAE:wait, i'll try

Liatai:It's stakeout without any pucntuation or capitalization...

Avram has connected.

Avram:yep

Ghostwish:hullo!

Sszeyl: (( Yo. ))

Avram:ii connected a second time

Liatai:Ah, that must be VAE.

Avram:so the password and stuff works

Avram:*electrocutes everyone*

Avram is disconnected.

VAE:see?

TMG:and back

Liatai:... Wait, what version of MapTool is she using?

Liatai:Is she using b63?

VAE:ah-ha!

TMG:oh, dang. Yeah, does she have b63?

VAE:ghost's games use b66

VAE:so if she was there last time

VAE:wait.. she was in tech's game

VAE:so she probably has b63

Sszeyl:She has b76. :P

Liatai:Ah! XD


 * VAE facepaws

Liatai:So that explains it. XD

VAE:bloody hell. the people down the hall are making baboon noises

Liatai:O.o

VAE:college dorms are fun place sometimes

Ghostwish:are they... aroused baboon noises? :P

VAE:not really.. more like fighting baboon

VAE:think 2001 Space Odyssey


 * Maximillian Toris snags another apple and munches.

VAE:i knew asians had lower resistance to alcohol, but this much !?

Sszeyl: (( Given her the link. ))

Sszeyl: (( Should be just a moment. ))


 * Sszeyl looks around the store-room in the meantime.

Liatai:The fire pit looks unchanged.

Liatai:Unless he wants to roll a Search check?

Caswin is disconnected.

Sszeyl:« 1d20 = 2 »

Sszeyl::PLiatai:Nothing seems changed!

Sszeyl:X:Sszeyl: (( She's still having proble,ms. ))

Liatai:>:VAE:now check whether it's joining as player

Kaid has connected.

VAE:Hi there!

Liatai::DLiatai:Hi there!

Sszeyl: (( :D ))

Ghostwish:omg a kaid!


 * Faerie waves

Faerie:...who's Kaid, again? >>

Sszeyl: (( British friend of mine. ))

Caswin has connected.

Sszeyl: (( She is the source of all awesomesauce. ))

VAE:Haha! Baked coolbeans in awesomesauce


 * Faerie nodnods

Caswin:((Sorry, did I miss anything after plugging a book I read a few years ago as "really, really good"?))

Liatai:Not really, just solving technical difficulties.

Sszeyl: (( She's loading, probably going to be hit with ping barrage. ))

TMG:anyway, sorry for being quite for ahwile

VAE:bloody hell

VAE:one of my cats learned to open doors

TMG:telling drayco a story, and had technical klutzing

Percy:*Stupid fourth wall people. Won't stop talking!*

VAE:jumps on the door handle, pulls it down

Papa:*I know, right?*

Barbarus:"Tell me about it."

Percy:"Anybody got some cards?"

TMG:anyway...

Papa:*I think Trofim's got the cards. Let's pounce him.*

Meany:Kaid, reading us loud and clear?

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to Brian. "Alright then, that's just Sszeyl and Max to pretend to be prisoners."


 * Justinian Rubus clears his throat.

Gnogglebolt:"The rest of us are either hanging back or hiding in the side room."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks back to Justininan. "yes?"


 * Sszeyl uses kung-fu skills to sneak back in.

Justinian Rubus:"Uh... seeing as the prisoners -- um, the goblins -- are going to be in the room with the prisoners, I believe it is my duty to be in the same room."

Derish:"HEY LOOK A DROW."

Justinian Rubus:"Where?!" He looks around, panicked... and then scowls. "... Very funny."

Derish:Derish is giggling like the silly wolf he is.

Sszeyl: (( Kaid, you reading this? :o ))

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt tilts his head. "You are offering to pretend to be a prisoner as well?"

Justinian Rubus:"Yes."


 * Brian Toris has avoided dropping his teacup again. You are spared once again, drow.

TMG:(what kind of armor is Justinian wearing, or -was- he wearing, if he didn't put his armor back on after sleeping?)

Sszeyl: (( Kaid's reading us. :P She says Barshal's image is cool. ))

Liatai:Standard guard's armor, which is a breastplate. Medium armor.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt rubs his chin. "Are you confident in your ability to fight without your breastplate armor?"

Justinian Rubus:"Uh... well, we're all trained to fight well."

Derish:"LOOK OUT A GNOLL!"

Barshal:Barshal facepalms.

Sszeyl:"How droll."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods. "Very well." To everyone, "Right then, Sszeyl, Max, and Justinian to pretend to be prisoners, and I believe that will be sufficient."


 * Sszeyl munches an apple.

Gnogglebolt:"Next thing..." Gnogglebolt looks to barshal.

Gnogglebolt:"We could use an early-warning. As you have said, you don't need to sleep. By any chance, would you be comfortable in taking a watch -outside- of the cave, to see our quarries approaching? Or...how well-trained is that bird of your5s?"

Barshal:"Very well, and he sleeps too much as is."

Percy:*HEY!!*

Gnogglebolt:"By any chance...is your bird trained enough that it could patrol the outside, and fly in here if it sees someone?"

Gnogglebolt:"I seem to recall some useers of magic having particularly intelligent animals, often in the form of some mystical bond, but...I'm obviously lacking in the details."

Barshal:"That would make him the most useful. He is not, however, an owl, and so his sight may be somewhat impeded by the darkness."

Gnogglebolt:"Hmm...."

Liatai:Spot and Listen checks, all.

Derish:"Cat." Derish says suddenly.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks around. "Who else here besides the drow is capable of seeing in the dark?"

Gnogglebolt:spot: « 1d20 = 5 » listen « 1d20+2 = 17 + 2 = 19 »

TMG:(crap, brb)

Barshal:« 1d20+6 = 19 + 6 = 25 » spot « 1d20+6 = 2 + 6 = 8 » listen

Justinian Rubus:"Nice try, trying to get me to jump again." The guard huffs.

Elros:"I could see in low light, but not darkness."

Barshal:Looks like he can see the sound he can't hear.

Derish:"No, really. Cat!"

Barshal:"I believe the term is catfolk?"

Caswin:((Snk.))

Justinian Rubus:"I'm not falling for that one again."

Derish:"That's what I said. Cat!"


 * Barbarus grins evily behind the guard. Sneaks up and pokes the human in the side.

Barbarus:"Boo."

Justinian Rubus:"-- YAAAAA!!!!" The guard whips around, drawing his sword.

Derish:"Told you."


 * Maximillian Toris springs to his feet, also drawing his rapier.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt yelps. "Shakk arg balthik, one of them already?!"

Barshal:"I suppose it would be poiniant to say there is only one?"

Derish:"No. Catfolk do not have necromancers. And this one is only a kitten."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, of course, draws his small morningstar

Trofim:Bloody hell.. another one of these... someone should take a candle with him when going to *bleep*


 * Barbarus looks around, playing with a dagger in his hand. "Did I crash someone's little party?"

Barshal:"If this is a party, I demand my obnoxious little hat. Who are you?"

Barbarus:A slight breeze in the cave causes the many bones to whistle.

Justinian Rubus:The guard doesn't wait. He tries to take a swing at the catfolk wearing so many bones... « 1d20+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 »

Trofim:Hey! You cat-man, put the dagger back or me and beridze will give you a greeting you won't forget


 * Barbarus steps neatly back to avoid the swing.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt is more tense than anyone's seen yet. "...Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Trofim:*trofim draws Beridze out*

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then shouts something in Goblin.


 * Papa gets in front of Terri.

Derish:Derish says, standing up and holding the guard back. "You are entirely too jumpy."

Elros:Elros puts his hand on his sword, but doesn't draw it yet, waiting to find out who the mystery catfolk is.


 * Nintrok shakes his head quickly, stepping back.


 * Barbarus holds the blade just under the man's arm. "Am I going to be swung at again, while I answer these many questions?"


 * Sszeyl continues munching his apple, face hidden behind his tessen.


 * Justinian Rubus is being held back by Derish, so no, although he looks like he wants to.


 * Slat replies to Gnogglebolt in a yap.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks around wildly. "Okay, back up everyone, the goblins don't know him."

Derish:"It's just a catfolk. And a child at that." The gnoll says, and pushes Justinian back, before turning to the catfolk, and looking down at him. "What are you doing so far from your tribe? Where are your parents?"

Trofim:*trofim thinks* Bloody hell... in the weird dream i had i looked sortta like this


 * Barbarus sheathes the dagger and curtseys a little. "I don't make a habit of associating with food."

Barbarus:To Gnogglebolt's comment.

Derish:"Well at least he has my sentiments concerning goblins.." Derish mutters.

VAE:also folks

VAE:you leveled up.. update your token data

Gnogglebolt:"Back up, back up everyone. Let him in. " Gnogglebolt -hopes- everyone is tactically alert enough to recognize that would mean surrounding him.

Elros:Elros takes his hand off his sword, but still wonders what's going on.

VAE:everyone except me still has old saves and HP


 * Brian Toris is standing in the hallway, still holding his empty mug, and wondering much the same thing as Elros is.

Barbarus:"My parents, dog, were turned into throw rugs. By your cousins, I don't doubt." The Cougar does not elect to step in, instead move backwards a bit. "I'm just here looking for any animals which I can kill, chop it into bits, and sell for a profit."


 * Papa barks. Hey!

Caswin is disconnected.

Caswin is disconnected.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt squeezes around the others to try and get to this person.


 * Sszeyl stands and moves around to the other end of the table.

Gnogglebolt:The small gnome looks up at the animalistic humanoid. "Who are you, again?"

Trofim:You don't touch Papa or i will have a new rug to sleep on!

Derish:Derish, however, takes a step forward. "Unless you were trapsing about the far north with your backside in the breeze, kitten, you weren't anywhere near my cousins and family. I've seen the small dogs that pass for gnolls in these parts. So you are an orphan then?"

Barbarus:"Heh, no. Just passing through." The cat continues backing away. "And since it appears I'm interupting, I'll pass on by." Then, the cougar turns and BOLTS down the cave, into the cage room.

Maximillian Toris:"Wait!" Max shoves past Trofim and runs after the catfolk.

Derish:"Weird cat. I have not seen markings like that." Derish says, turning about and heading back in.


 * Barbarus runs out of the cage room into the tunnel as fast as he can.

Trofim:0_0

Sszeyl:"We shouldn't be standing here."


 * Maximillian Toris mutters an arcane phrase...

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt was just starting to ease up, as he wa s thinking that if this man really wasn't here for necromantic purposes because if he -was0-, he wouldn't still be here...when the suddenly bolts off

Caswin has connected.

Gnogglebolt:"Wha--no! Stop him!"

Maximillian Toris:Grapple attempt - « 1d20+10 = 18 + 10 = 28 » touch attack!

Elros:"I'd...ask if we ought to be concerned about our securiy. But then again, if he's gone off..."

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 16 + 1 = 17 »

Maximillian Toris:« 1d20+8 = 20 + 8 = 28 » Grapple check.


 * Barbarus struggles to get away, as if his life depended on it.


 * Maximillian Toris holds the catfolk firmly. "Calm down! We're not going to hurt you."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt comes up moments late, breathing heavily after running on his small legs.

Gnogglebolt:"Oh good...you got him...whew...." He says, catching his breath

Trofim:Hmm.. strange cat.. running around


 * Barbarus just continues to struggle.

Barbarus: (( How is Max holding Barb? ))

Elros:Elros squeezes past, and follows Gnogglebolt.


 * Sszeyl follows at a leisurely pace.

Derish:Derish hears the scuffle and gets up to go investigate.

Liatai:Given that he got a natural 20... shoot, I don't know if this has a name or not. Arms under the armpits, probably trying to hold him off the ground a little?

Derish:"You caught him? Why?" Derish asks, curiously?

Sszeyl: (( Full Nelson? ))


 * Maximillian Toris nods to the others, holding the catfolk up off the ground a little. "He might end up being a scout."


 * Barbarus tries to reach signal whistle, however since he can't quite reach, tries to lash out with clawed feet to get free. « 1d20+1 = 18 + 1 = 19 »

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up to derish. "Well, I was about to say that he probably wasn't who we were looking for, because if he -was-, he wouldn't have still been there...then he -ran-."

Barbarus:SO CLOSE to a natual 20. :P

Gnogglebolt:spot to see the whistle: « 1d20 = 15 »

VAE:i think it's bud spencer's signature move


 * Maximillian Toris grunts a little as the claws dig into his knee, but doesn't let go.

Maximillian Toris:"Someone want to give me a hand here?"

Derish:Derish sighs.. How much does the catfolk weigh?

Elros:"Perhaps we ought to employ one of the cages, if we mean to restrain him?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks worriedly at the ones much bigger than he at Max's question.

Barbarus:47 pounds.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks to Elros, nods, then dashes off.

Liatai:... what. Are you serious?

TMG:....47 pounds?

TMG:are you serious?

Ghostwish:o.o

Liatai:Okay, something's wrong with your character sheet. XD

TMG:Is he small-size or something?

Barbarus: (( :P ))

Ghostwish:That's... gnome weight. XD

Liatai:Catfolk are medium-sized, dangit! XD

Ghostwish:Oh well. he's under 300. XD

Barbarus: (( I couldn't find weight tables, and you never answered my question about it. :P ))

TMG:my GNOME weighs 40 pounds!

Barbarus: (( 80 ish then? ))

Liatai:I didn't know you asked a question! XD

Liatai:How tall is he?

Barbarus: (( It was weeks ago, during the char creation process. ))

TMG:yeah, that's the vital stat table for catfolk? I don't have races of the wild...

Barbarus:4.5 feet.

VAE:nelson is arm around neck

Liatai:A little short for a catfolk... but I can work with it.

TMG:*what's, not that's

Liatai:Closer to 120-150 pounds.

Barbarus: (( He weighs more than Sszeyl. :o ))


 * Sszeyl goes to see what Gnogglebolt dahsed off for.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sees Sszeyl following him. "No, go help them drag that catfolk in here! I'm prepping a cage."

Derish:Derish plods over, and grabs Barbarus in a very degrading place.. the scruff of his neck. He hoists the catfolk out of Max's grip, and holds him a good.. 2-3 feet off the ground at arm's length. It's worthy to note he has his longsword in his other hand. "Enough." He growls lowly, eyeing the cat. "You are the.. smallest, scrawniest runt of a catfolk I have ever seen, and you flee like a kitten who's heard a loud noise. Who are you, and why are you here? It would behoove you to make your decisions very carefully at this point, lest I go back on my oath."

Sszeyl:"The gnoll is handling it at the moment."

Derish:Handling it being a loose term?

VAE:0_0

VAE:http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Catfolk_(3.5e_Race)

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt starts checking around the cages, looking for a lock that -isn't- smashed or disassembled

VAE:catfolk really are about 50 pounds

Liatai:Ah. that page is off.

TMG:noTMG:damna

TMG:that's fan-made catfolk

TMG:do not use that site

Liatai:I already talked about that with Meany. ^^

VAE:hmm... the Races of the Wild doesn't say anything

Derish:This is why you don't use wikis or SRDs. :P

Liatai:Page 106, Danman.

Liatai:Under Vital Statistics.

VAE:now this makes actual sense

Elros:Elros walks over beside Derish. "All good questions, but perhaps you could ask him on the way in? "

Barbarus:"And you are quite frankly the most ungainly Gnoll I've ever seen." The cat bares his teeth, but due to the chemicals induced by being held by the scruff can't seem to move his limbs. "I already said, I'm a butcher and tanner, just looking for things to kill."

VAE:bloody hell.. the only race that could have 50 pounds for 41/2 ft are spellweavers, because of their bird origin


 * Sszeyl goes back to watch the goings on, face still behind the fan.

TMG:(does gnogglebolt find an intact lock?)

Liatai:He does!

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt check the lock, makes sure it is functional, and leaves the gae dorr open slightly, ready to be closed and locked. Then he heads back out

Maximillian Toris:"I suppose we should be glad our horse is still in one piece, then." Max grins wryly, but stands ready to help.

Sszeyl:"You've missed the amusing part," Sszeyl says to the gnome.

Derish:"Hrm. If by ungainly you mean large, majestic, and able to throw you into the top of a nearby tree, then you are correct! Now, why would some hunter go poking into a cave where he's more likely to find things that could eat him then things he could skin?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt blinks. "Hunter? Hmm..."

Barbarus:"It's approaching winter, I thought I could catch a sleeping bear unawares."


 * Barbarus is speaking progressively faster and more desperate to get out.

Derish:"It's spring. The bear is with us, and enjoys fish." He says, and casually glances back at Sszeyl. "I think I could at least get him into the upper branches. What do you wager?"

TMG:(actually...yeah, what time of the year -is- it? o.o )

Barbarus: (( Autumn, going on winter, I thought. ))

Liatai:Mid-August by our calendar.

Liatai:So autumn.

Ghostwish:Ah well. To derish, it's NEVER winter. XD

Ghostwish:Too damn hot. XD

TMG:okay, so -not- spring. derish's last comment invalid?

Sszeyl:"Hmm, he'd spin out of control, likely. Aim for the middle instead."

Ghostwish:Yah, he says Fall instead.

Gnogglebolt:"Alright, alright, bring him inside, I'm worried about being out in the open here..."

VAE:what's the difference between Fall and Autumn?

Liatai:None. Just different words for the same season. ^^

Caswin:((Testing.))

Drayco:?* Sszeyl heads inside, having never left the cave proper due to a reluctance to put his glasses on.

Derish:Derish shrugs, and brings the catfolk inside.. holding him the entire time. He even idly chats with him during the way, as if there was nothing unusual going on. "Has any from your tribe ever met with the northern catfolk?"


 * Maximillian Toris walks alongside Derish and the catfolk, reaching out and casually patting the catfolk's shoulder in a reassuring sort of gesture. "Don't worry. If you're who you say you are, you don't need to worry about a thing."

Faerie:(Brb, keep going without me.)

Barbarus:« 1d20+2 = 4 + 2 = 6 »

Caswin:((Drayco: Sorry, thought I had disconnected.))


 * Barbarus relaxes. "We trade with them periodically."

Derish:"Really? Any news from them?"

Gnogglebolt:"Indeed. For your sake, I hope you're telling the truth."

Barbarus:"I wouldn't know."

Derish:"Outcast?"

Barbarus:"I came down south to trade, months out of touch with the tribe."

Derish:"Huh. I did not know there was a catfolk tribe in such close proximity. Is there another group of gnolls as well?"

Barbarus:"Further south, they like to kill things."

Barbarus: (( We stopped moving? ))

Gnogglebolt:As the group enters, Gnogglebolt looks sideways at the cage, then to Derish. Having heard the conversation they just had....

Gnogglebolt:"What do you think, Derish? Do you think he's one of them?"

Barbarus:"Oh how cryptic."

Faerie:(back now.)

Derish:Derish grunts. "I am beginning to wonder if my people are the only semblance of civilized gnolls in this world.. I had hoped to find those who had flourished amidst the lack of a ahrsh climate, and yet they lack souls." Derish says, and then sets Barbarus down. "He is not. As small and different as he is, he is still catfolk. He would not associate with necromancers, even under threat of death." He says, and looks to gnogglebolt. "We have to deal with the wizards of death trying to steal old bones out of the ice more than I care to tell."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods. "very well. If he promises not to run, go ahead and put him down."

Sszeyl:"Wizards of Death, pfft."


 * Barbarus was already set down. :P

TMG:oh, I thought Derish was still carrying him by his nexk...


 * Barbarus and chose to once again bolt.

TMG:*neck

Derish:Derish already has, and he looks down at the catfolk again. "Sorry, but we need you to stay here. We are currently waiting to ambush necromancers." He says.. and catches the catfolk by the neck again as he runs past. "Please don't make me sit on you."

Liatai:Spot and Listen checks, anyone in the cage room or the tunnel.

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 19 + 5 = 24 » spot and « 1d20+5 = 4 + 5 = 9 » listen!

Gnogglebolt:oh come on -_- spot « 1d20 = 1 » listen « 1d20+2 = 16 + 2 = 18 »

TMG:(brb)

Ghostwish:wtf is it with my lopsided spots and listens today? XD

Barbarus:« 1d20+5 = 2 + 5 = 7 » Listen. « 1d20+4 = 6 + 4 = 10 » Spot.

Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 8 + 5 = 13 » Listen. « 1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11 » Spot.

Trofim:Trofim bounces the leather ball on the floor, bored

TMG:(though, for earlier, gnogglebolt did say to only let him go IF he promised not to run...)

TMG:(derish went and let him go without that?)

Derish:Well since when has Derish ever listened? Pbbbbt. He does however, look down the hallway, and his eyes widen. "Hide, now!" He hisses quietly. "Get the goblins out here! They're here!"

Elros:spot « 1d20+8 = 8 + 8 = 16 » listen « 1d20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23 »


 * Sszeyl stows tessen and finds a cage that could fit him.

Gnogglebolt:"Oh, no, no! Here's already?!" Gnogglebolt says in a hushed voice. "Hurry, inside! now now!"


 * Barbarus has no idea what's going on, tries to get signal whistle again.

Brian Toris:"Wonder what that was all about --" Brian is almost knocked off his feet by the gnome. "-- Hey!"

Barbarus:*BREEEEEE*? :P

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt rushes in, and "shouts" in a hished voice.

TMG:oh, come on...any checks to stop him from doing that?

Maximillian Toris:Initiative, Barbarus. Just to see whether Barbarus or Max acts first... « 1d20+2 = 8 + 2 = 10 »

TMG:actually, reflex might be appropriate...

Barbarus:« 1d20+3 = 13 + 3 = 16 »

TMG:I do remember in the DMG there's examples of unsual scenariosu that used opposed reflex saves, the one given was someone trying to pull a level, and an ally knowing that's a bad idea and trying to stop them...

Liatai:... hmm. >:3

Elros:Elros pushes into the cage room, then quietly sneaks around the corner, trying to determing the source of the whispering. move silently « 1d20+5 = 10 + 5 = 15 »

TMG:and what about derish? Doesn't he have his hand on Barbarus -again?-

Liatai:Okay then. Scratch initiative. Relex saves!

Ghostwish:look south tech

Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 14 + 4 = 18 »

TMG:...how did he get here without dragging the catfolk with him? O.o

TMG:why the frigging heck did he let go -again-?

Liatai:... Yeah, sorry, not enough, Barbarus. ^^'

Ghostwish:He didn't.

TMG:but Derish shantched him after he tried to run a second time...

TMG:He says.. and catches the catfolk by the neck again as he runs past. "Please don't make me sit on you."


 * Maximillian Toris sees the catfolk take out a whistle... then grabs his arm and tries to drag him inside. "What are you doing?! Get in here, hide!"

TMG:Derish let go -again- after that?

Trofim:What the hell are you all doing?

TMG:okay, resuming Gnogglebolt's action...

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

Trofim:Just whack the cat over the head and let's wait for the lie-mages or who

Gnogglebolt:In a rushed hush, Gnogglebolt spits out, "They're here! They're here already! Anyone who fights, get into the sideroom now!" He then says something in Goblin

Trofim:Good, finally something


 * Barbarus growls a bit, but stops resisting.

Trofim:Erm... *looks confused*

Trofim:Which sideroom?


 * Sszeyl ruffles clothes and hair, trying to look scuffled.

TMG:....

TMG:the skeleton room, as he pointed out in the plans last night...

VAE:Trofim was asleep

TMG:no, he wasn't...

TMG:...oh, but you wreen't around >_-

TMG:*weren't

VAE:well, at least during last session he was

VAE:That's the IC explanation for me not being around

Trofim:Trofim grabs his flail in both hands

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt also quickl goes out and says to Brian; "Take the catfolk from your brother to the rear rooms!" before rushing back to the side room

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt then looks at Trofim. "What are you doing? they'll see you from there! Come up against this wall."

Trofim:OhTrofim:Trofim walks over to the opposite wall... clearly, being unnoticed isn't among his strengths

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt whispers to trofim. "Okay, here's how it works; the goblins are going to greet the necromancers, and bring them to the corner. They'll let the client go into granch's room while they walk in here. When we see the goblins walk in here, we rush past them into granch's room after the client, trapping them--" Gnogglebolt then smacks his forehead.

Gnogglebolt:"I didn't get a chance to set a trap...oh well."

Trofim:Oh *looks at the smacking* I understand

Trofim:Then we *mimics flail motion*

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods. "yes, yes."

Liatai:Catching up...


 * Brian Toris comes in, grabs the catfolk roughly, and drags him into the back room.

Faerie:Erm...

Barbarus:"Hey, mind the vetebrae, they're delicate!"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sees Brain walking in, and his looks slightly horrified. "No, not here, it...oh, nevermind. Just make sure he stays silent."

TMG:eh, elros comes into the skeleton room?

Trofim:Look, rock pile... if your bird *bleep*s on me, he won't like what i and beridze will do!

Faerie:...

Faerie:I've been trying to figure out where you are.

TMG:we're in the skeleton room, as planned

Barshal:"He already did. Twice."

Brian Toris:"What other back room was I supposed to bring him into?!" he hisses, probably shaking the catfolk a little for emphasis.

Faerie:And I spotted something, but accidentally. x:Gnogglebolt:"Wait, you three, come up against this wall so they can't see you from the corner."

Barbarus:"Hey-ow! You'll dislocate my shoulder if you keep at that!"

Liatai:Everyone moves into position... and the snuffling noise some of you heard gets closer.

Trofim:Trofim looks VERY angrily at Barshal

Meany:Snuffling?

Elros:Elros moves up against the wall, as instructed.

Meany:...It's Fuzzy, isn't it.

Gnogglebolt:"I hope the goblins, Sszeyl, and Max can play their parts well...it's all on them now."

Liatai:Listen checks, those of you in the far room.

Liatai:Skeleton room, I mean.

Barbarus:« 1d20+5 = 16 + 5 = 21 » Us?

Liatai:Yes, you all.

Gnogglebolt:Listen check: « 1d20+2 = 14 + 2 = 16 »

Liatai:The folks in the cage room don't need to roll.

Elros:« 1d20+3 = 5 + 3 = 8 »

Barshal:« 1d20+6 = 9 + 6 = 15 » listen

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 5 + 5 = 10 » listen

Trofim:« 1d20+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 » Listen

Trofim:Trofim hears Percy's squawking

Trofim:which is interesting since the bird's beak is closed


 * Slat looks down the tunnel... and Gnogglebolt and Barbarus, you hear this too. He shrieks and starts pulling open the door of the nearest cage, shouting out a panicked phrase in Goblin.


 * Barbarus doesn't speak Goblin. :P

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddely gets the widest

Gnogglebolt:absolutley

Barbarus:"I get the feeling something has gone horribly wrong."

Gnogglebolt:most shocked expression anyone's seen on him yet

Gnogglebolt:"It's not the necromancers! IT"S THE RIVAL TRIBE! GO! Go now!"

Liatai:Initiative time!

Trofim:« 1d20-1 = 5 - 1 = 4 » Initiative

VAE:I roll LOW today

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 3 + 5 = 8 » initiative!

Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 17 + 4 = 21 »

Gnogglebolt:Initiative: « 1d20+1 = 1 + 1 = 2 »

TMG:oh, futz.

Barshal:« 1d20-1 = 6 - 1 = 5 » initiative!

Sszeyl:« 1d20+1 = 5 + 1 = 6 » Us too?

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

VAE:and the cat escapes the cat-tors

Elros:« 1d20+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 »

Elros:>>Maximillian Toris:« 1d20+2 = 9 + 2 = 11 »

Brian Toris:« 1d20 = 17 »

Worg:« 1d20+2 = 1 + 2 = 3 »

Goblin in Orange 1:« 1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20 »

Barbarus has received initiative.

Liatai:Go Barbie go!

TMG:-can- he go? I imagine Brian's still got a hold of him?

Liatai:Good point. Want to try to get free, or wait for Brian to let him down?


 * Barbarus eyes go wide. "Venezuela.." he says quietly, then turns and punches Brian in the groin to make him let go, then pelts off. "VENEZEULA! I'm coming girl!"

TMG:er...

Liatai:... oh jeez. XD

TMG:I don't know if you can make called shos like that...

Liatai:Grapple check, at LEAST.

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 9 + 1 = 10 »

TMG:yeah, you actually need to win an opposed grapple to make a strike -during- grapple

Liatai:No luck.


 * Barbarus retcons previous action and simply struggles to get free. :P

Brian Toris:"Rrgh! Crazy cat, hold still!"

VAE:Hahah

VAE:i Read that a Rrgh Crazy cat girl!

VAE:*as

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sees the catfolk suddenly struggling to get free Garl's gold, there's not enough -time- for this. "One of you stay and help Brain!" Gnogglebolt says to the others trusting that they won't get into a tangle by themselves

Barbarus:"Venezuela! They'll kill her!"

Gnogglebolt:whups, period after "free"

Trofim:Who's Venezuela?


 * Brian Toris shoves Barbarus into a nearby cage, closing the door.

Gnogglebolt:"nevermind!"


 * Maximillian Toris yanks open the door to his cage and goes to open Justinian's.

Barbarus:« 1d20+4 = 5 + 4 = 9 »


 * Justinian Rubus hops out and draws his sword. "What's going on? Why are we -- what -- huh?"

TMG:(by the way, the cages the "prisoners" are in -should- be unlocked, just closed."

Derish has received initiative.

Derish:"Bugger.." Derish growls, and heads out.

Derish:End turn.

Sszeyl has received initiative.


 * Sszeyl neatly exits the cage, and works up arms for a work out.


 * Sszeyl double moves to get in melee range, and ends turn.

Barshal has received initiative.

TMG:dang.... -dead last- in the intiative >.

Liatai:Barshal's turn!

TMG:...ghostwish?

Ghostwish:sorry!

Barshal:Barshal too, moves forward

Ghostwish:they to the north or the east?

TMG:cage room

Liatai:East, toward the cage room.

Ghostwish:End turn!

Elros has received initiative.

Elros:Elros moves towards the cage room.

Faerie:...wait, do I get 30' or 60'?

Liatai:60' if you do nothing but move.

TMG:30 is your base speed

TMG:but you can have 2 move actions in a turn, if you don't take a standard actio

Faerie:I thought I recalled that. End turn.

Trofim has received initiative.

Trofim:Ack! Stupid bird!

TMG:double-clic, danman

TMG:you'll get a small menue with both tokens

VAE:i can grab corner

VAE:this was just IC what happened

VAE:end turn

Worg:A canine creature, bearing a goblin dressed in orange on its back, leaps past Sszeyl, snarling... Attack of opportunity!

Sszeyl: (( Me? ))

Liatai:Yes, you! ^^

Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 7 + 3 = 10 » Unarmed Strike.

Liatai:You can choose which one to attack; the goblin or the mount?

Sszeyl:Mount.

Liatai:Unfortunately, not enough to hit.

Liatai:The creature lopes in, then stops, seeming confused... and then the goblin on its back throws a javelin at Nintrok. « 1d20+3 = 19 + 3 = 22 »

Liatai:« 1d4 = 1 »


 * Nintrok yelps as the javelin pierces his shoulder.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Ghostwish:brb right quick

Sszeyl: (( Talking is free, jes? ))

Liatai:Yep!

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt just starts running as fast as he can to get out there.

TMG:hmm, I take it as a short phrase is allowed... >.>

Liatai:Oops, I forgot to put the goblins on the initiative roll... ^^'

Sszeyl:"Three on one, need help here!"

TMG:so, you know, there's not the absurdities of full conversations in the middle of battle...


 * Nintrok starts to flee... then sees the others coming barreling down the way.


 * Slat stands behind Nintrok, without a weapon, but facing the incoming enemies.

Barbarus has received initiative.


 * Barbarus tests to see if the cage door is locked.

Barbarus:"Let me out! They'll kill her!"

Liatai:It is not!


 * Barbarus tries to open door and move out.

Barbarus: (( Unless Brian's holding it closed? ))

Liatai:He's not holding it closed... in fact, he fumbled his Spot check, so he's not even paying attention. XD

Drayco:Hey! What's goin on and where?!


 * Barbarus bolts!


 * Barbarus double moves, ducking under the taller people, and ends turn.

Drayco:...Dammit, I did it again...

Goblin in Orange 2:The goblin Sszeyl is facing tries to swing at the drow.. « 1d20+2 = 13 + 2 = 15 » with a morningstar.

Goblin in Orange 2:« 1d6-1 = 4 - 1 = 3 »

TMG:whoa, whoa, whoa

TMG:stop

TMG:hold it

TMG:you can only move through a space occupied by a FREINDLY freely

Liatai:--- oh-HO.

TMG:if it is not a friendly, you must make tumble checks

TMG:for each and everyone

TMG:AND we all get AoOs

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 10 + 1 = 11 »

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 8 + 1 = 9 »

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 16 + 1 = 17 »

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 »

VAE:what the hell?

TMG:he's already failed at least one on the second

VAE:how many AoO does he get?

TMG:probably the first, too

TMG:checking PHB for DCs...

VAE:Oh, tumble checks

TMG:....

TMG:to tumble at -one half- speed through an -enemy- square

TMG:is DC 25

Liatai:... yyyyyeah. Barbarus failed every single one. ^^'

TMG:Failure means you stop before entering the enemy-occupied area and provoke an attack of opportunity from that enemy. Check separately for each opponent. Each additional enemy after the first adds +2 to the Tumble DC.

Liatai:So... Derish, want to try to catch the crazed catfolk? X3

TMG:so,. he tried to tumble through derish first. Derish gets an AoO

TMG:in fact

TMG:attempting to tumble as part of moving -out- of Trofim's threatened swuare means he gets an AoO

TMG:*too

TMG:so, both derish and Trofim get AoO

TMG:geeze, Meany, barabus is going to die on his very introduction at this rate xD

TMG:stop playing him so suicidally! XD

Meany:Hey, Rolling Clouds love their animals like family. :P

Meany:Would you take the time to be smart if someone was going to kill your sister? ...Assuming you have a sister, and don't hate her. >>

TMG:...eh, good point.

TMG:...what class is Barbarus again?

Liatai:Rogue.

VAE:AoO « 1d20+4 = 3 + 4 = 7 »

TMG:ah. ...Hmm.

VAE:Trofim failed

Trofim:Trofim flails as the cat darts past him

VAE:no class

VAE:Cats have ECL 1

VAE:and i don't think he levelled him up yet

Meany: (( He's ECL 2. One cat, and one rogue. ))

VAE:so you did level him up already? good

Meany: (( Can we continue to the dying Drow action now? :P ))

VAE:also he is CL 2

TMG:Derish never took his AoO...on purpose?

VAE:ECL means something has no levels in a class but counts as having some

VAE:some CL i mean

TMG:danmane; er...you are thinking of LA

TMG:ECL = eeffective character level

TMG:LA = level adjustment


 * Goblin in Orange 1 swings! « 1d20-1 = 14 - 1 = 13 »

TMG:but yes! Moving on!

TMG:Ghostwish!

Goblin in Orange 1:« 1d4-1 = 1 - 1 = 0 »

TMG:Taking your AoO or not?

Goblin in Orange 1:*bonk*

TMG:(the goblin has a -2 Str mod?)

VAE:yeah... *facepaws*

TMG:(because, as small-size, he gets +1 to attack...)

Meany: (( Eh? ))

Goblin in Orange 3:The other one runs past... provoking an AoO from the drow.

Meany: (( Is this the second goblin attack? ))

Liatai:TMG - Yep.

VAE:But Level adjustment is worse

Ghostwish:back, sorry!!!

Liatai:Meany - Yep.

Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 18 + 3 = 21 »

VAE:LA means it doesn't even gain hit dice

Ghostwish:Stupid IRL! Leave me alome! I just wanna roll some dice!

Liatai:XDGoblin in Orange 3:That's a hit! Roll damage!

Sszeyl:« 1d3+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 »

VAE:while you can have lots of ECL and gain them, just not have a class

TMG:danman...there is no such thing as having "lots of ECL". That's not what it is

Caswin is disconnected.

TMG:ECl is qual to your class level if you have no LA or racial hit dice


 * Goblin in Orange 3 collapses!


 * Sszeyl holds wounds, moving to a defensive stance, and blindsides the goblin as he passes.

TMG:ECL is not an "addition", it's a calculated value

Sszeyl:"Shoe to the face!"

Sszeyl:End turn.

VAE:Hmm.. then i understood ECL as being racial hit dice

VAE:that clears stuff up

Ghostwish:So crazy catfolk tried to bolt, huh?

TMG:Yes, crazt catfolk attempted to tumble past you

TMG:and failed

Brian Toris:"What -- Hey! Damn it -- see what I get for trying to keep people safe --"

TMG:so you get AoO


 * VAE facepaws ... stupid lynx, stupid!

Ghostwish:Cougar. :P

TMG:(danman; but yes, your ECL is -either- equal to your class level, -or- your class level plus LA and racial hit dice. That's what "effective character level" means)

Liatai:So, taking that AaO, Derish? :3

Ghostwish:Yup! Grapple! >:)

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 10 + 5 = 15 » touch attack!

Liatai:Roll them dice!

VAE:you don't need to explain further... i understood ECL as meaning racial hit dice... well, because if you have no class levels your ECL *is* equal to those ... XD

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 17 + 5 = 22 » grapple!

VAE:this was sort of clarified as soon as you introduced those as a separate term

Liatai:Barbarus, opposed grapple check?

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 20 + 1 = 21 » Oppose grapple.

Ghostwish:Gotcha. :D

Liatai:The gnoll has managed to grab the catfolk!


 * Barbarus points to the natural twenty.

TMG:gnoll moves into catfolk's space

Liatai:... hmm o.o

Liatai:What to do in this situation?

TMG:I dunno if you can crit a grapple...

TMG:lemme check.

Drayco:...I borked my token trying to enable seeing everything...

Barbarus: (( I submit the DnDMFA session. ))

VAE:i think you can

VAE:you submit it where?

TMG:drayco; um...what?

Barbarus: (( Where Domino crited opposed grapple against Urg. ))

Barbarus:Urd*

VAE:oh, yep

VAE:good point!

Drayco:Oh, thanks.

Liatai:So, close, but no cigar.


 * Brian Toris attempts to grapple Barbarus...

TMG:meany; well from what I've seen, D&DMFA has been a little looser on the rules :P

TMG:but, I suppose it's feasible the "natural 20 means automatic success" applies here

Ghostwish:Jerico is proof of this, using slieght of hand to undue a dress. :P

TMG:-if- Liatai is using that core rule.

Drayco:Substantially. You're supposed to be flat-ffoted until your char gets to act.

Liatai:Opposed grapple check, Barbarus!

TMG:drayco;....what?

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 15 + 1 = 16 »

Liatai:Oof! Brian didn't succeed, either.


 * Maximillian Toris runs past the worg and goblin...

Drayco:TMG: In combat, your character is flat-footed until they act. This means that their Dex mod does NOT count for AC.

TMG:drayco; ....who the hell was talking about that?

Ghostwish:That's for a surprise round.

Drayco:It is?

Drayco:...Huh...

Drayco:I thought it was all the time.

TMG:er, drayco, yes. That applies to the surprise round ONLY

Maximillian Toris:"Hang on, I'm on my way!" The fencer waves his hand a little and says a small phrase in Draconic... Mage Armor, +4 AC to Sszeyl.

TMG:I don't even know who you were replying to

Drayco:Initially, you. I was tying to support your statement.

TMG:what statement? I never mentioned anything about AC...


 * Justinian Rubus does what he knows how to do best... and takes out a crossbow, letting a bolt fly into the goblin on the worg. « 1d20+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 »

Justinian Rubus:Whiff!

Derish has received initiative.

Liatai:Derish, your roll!

Derish:Derish tries to catch the kitty again! "Little kitten trying to run for it!!" He says, and lunges again. « 1d20+5 = 20 + 5 = 25 » touch attack!

Derish:crit confirm on touch? XD

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11 »

Derish:Oh well. Grapple! « 1d20+5 = 12 + 5 = 17 »

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 10 + 1 = 11 »

Liatai:SNAG!

TMG:-now- Derish moves into Barbarus's space

Derish:"BAD CAT." Derish yells, trying to pin the cat.

Derish:what's the roll for that again?

TMG:erTMG:that's not until another round

TMG:you'rwe done

Derish:Well then, done. :D

TMG:moving into his square was the finish

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Sszeyl:"Appreciated."


 * Sszeyl stalls for a moment, then lashes out at Orange goblin #2.

Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 14 + 3 = 17 »

Liatai:That's a hit! Roll damage! :D

Sszeyl:« 1d3+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 »

Goblin in Orange 2:The goblin hits the ground hard.


 * Sszeyl nerv-strikes the goblin. :U

Barshal has received initiative.

Barshal:Barshal comes into the cage room.. and promptly fires a shot from his sling at the worg. « 1d20-1 = 20 - 1 = 19 »

TMG:Has sszeyl been using unarmed strikes

TMG:?Barshal::OBarshal:« 1d20-1 = 10 - 1 = 9 »

Sszeyl:Aye.

Barshal:Almost a crit.. with a SLING. XD

Liatai:At the worg, or its rider?

Barshal:« 1d4 = 3 » points of damage, for the worg.

TMG:I forgot; even though he doesn't have monk class levels yet, can he freely choose to do lethal or nonlethal damage with an unarmed strike?

Barshal:End turn!

Elros has received initiative.

Sszeyl:Nope.

Sszeyl:Just nonleathal.

TMG:ah, so he's knocked out two goblins already :o

TMG:not hit them into "dying" state...

TMG:hmmmmm....

TMG:alex?

TMG:Still with us? :o

Faerie:Whup, sorry.

Elros:Elros moves into the cage room, and draws his sword.

Trofim has received initiative.

Faerie:End turn, I guess. 30' + draw.

TMG:you can draw at the same time as a move...

TMG:(as long as your BaB is +1 or greater)

TMG:(which it is)

TMG:so, you've still got enough steam for a second move, or a standard action

Drayco:2 moves still allows a Full-Round action, right?

VAE:i can't see!

TMG:drayco; er....hell no o.o

VAE:also, end turn after i will be rescued

VAE:NO BLOODY WAY

TMG:full-round action %Bmeans%b full round

TMG:you can't do anything else

Trofim:Why is it so dark again?

Faerie:I'm good here, actually.

Drayco:Dangit... How the hell am I picking up all this bad info, then?

Drayco:VAE: I think it's some bugs with the walls.

TMG:drayco; I have -no- idea. Who have you been listening to?

VAE:I dunno.. from the bit bucket

Liatai:Anything else, Trofim?

Drayco:...The SRD...

VAE:well, that were two moves

VAE:so noes

TMG:...well, the SRD is the same as what's in the core books, so...you're just misreading things :/

VAE:wait

VAE:you moved me one step back?

VAE:then i go here

VAE:now, end turn

Worg:The worg snarls as the bullet strikes its shoulder... and then lunges toward the metal man who threw it. « 1d20+7 = 12 + 7 = 19 » bite!

Worg:« 1d6+4 = 1 + 4 = 5 » damage.

Barshal:Barshal does not seem to appreciate the thing trying to, and nearly succeeding in, ripping one of the plates on his arm off.

Goblin in Orange:The goblin on the worg's back draws a morningstar, but is having some problems holding on.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt rushes in, past his friends, to face the enemy goblin riding a wolf-like beast. Despite staring the beast in the jaws, Gnogglebolt looks up and shouts six words -very- loudly in Goblin.

Gnogglebolt:end turn

Liatai:Intimidate check?

TMG:... okay o.o I do have a size penalty, though...

TMG:alrighty, here goes

Gnogglebolt:Intimidate: « 1d20-1 = 7 - 1 = 6 »

TMG:bah.

TMG:I was actually hoping my allies -behind- me would be more incentive...

VAE:ahhahaha

VAE:that was less intimidating


 * Slat cheers Gnogglebolt and Barshal on.

VAE:oh, nice.. if i move to one of the squares i will have flanking


 * Nintrok is searching his pockets for something... then looks panicked.

Barbarus has received initiative.

TMG:barbarus is currently in grapple, he can attempt an opposed grapple to do any action you can do while grappling, including attempting to break it

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 11 + 1 = 12 »

VAE:flanking is +2, right?

Liatai:Yep!

TMG:to attack, yes

Barbarus:"Lemmegolemmegolemmego! I have to get Venezuela out of here!"

VAE:i think the AoO is worth it then

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 12 + 5 = 17 » grapple!

TMG:barnabus's action fails, and his turn is over

Barbarus:Yup.

Barbarus:End turn.

Goblin in Orange 1:The last goblin... attemmpts to run.

Goblin in Orange 1:AoO for Sszeyl!

TMG:whoa, wait a sec

Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 19 + 3 = 22 »

Liatai:Roll damage!

TMG:Did Gnogglebolt's "intimidate" apply to all the goblins still around?

Liatai:-- huh, waiting a second.

TMG:like, the one that's running right now?

TMG:and in addition, for he guy on the worg

TMG:all of them actually have an -opposed- roll

TMG:to my intimidate check

Liatai:Yes, but this one wasn't affected. He's just running because he's alone versus a very angry drow who just dropped each of his buddies in one hit. X3

TMG:ahTMG:well, then at least, the guy on the worg makes an opposed check

Liatai:So, about that AoO?

Sszeyl:« 1d3+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 »

Liatai:He did.

Liatai:No luck, unfortunately.

TMG:1d20+ wis bonus + character level or hit dice + any modifiers against fear

Brian Toris:"Do you have this, gnoll?"

Sszeyl: (( No luck for me? ))

TMG:oh, you hid the roll ^^;

Sszeyl: (( Hello? ))

TMG:...where did everybody go?

Liatai:Yeah, no luck. ^^'

TMG:o.o

Faerie:o.o

Liatai:o.o

Sszeyl: (( That guy has an AC of higher than 22? o-O ))

Liatai:-- OH. XD

Liatai:I thought the 5 was the to-hit roll!


 * Liatai facedesks and laughs.

Sszeyl::P* Sszeyl rolls to a handstand, folds legs, and double kicks the goblin into the wall.

VAE:Ahahah

Liatai:WHAM.


 * Sszeyl then falls onto the ground due to momentum.

Sszeyl:"Ow, my ribcage."

Sszeyl:End turn.


 * Maximillian Toris helps Sszeyl up.


 * Justinian Rubus, not knowing what else to do, snaps off another crossbow bolt in the goblin's direction. « 1d20+3 = 5 + 3 = 8 »

Justinian Rubus:Whiff!

Derish has received initiative.


 * Liatai pokes Ghostwish.

Ghostwish:beep

Ghostwish:allright, gonna try and pin em

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 2 + 5 = 7 » grapple!

Ghostwish:ffffffffff

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 13 + 1 = 14 »

Barbarus:Freedom!

Liatai:No pin, although you're still grappling.

Barbarus:Dang.

Ghostwish:Bwahahahaha

Ghostwish:End turn!

Sszeyl has received initiative.


 * Sszeyl gets up from prone position, which eats up how much of my turn with Max's assistance?

Liatai:None at all.


 * Sszeyl then holds ribcage and moves back into the cage room.

Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 20 + 3 = 23 » Unarmed Strike on Worg.

Sszeyl:« 1d20+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 »

Sszeyl:Dang.

Ghostwish:brb

Barshal has received initiative.

Liatai:... Aw. ^^'

Sszeyl: (( Wait, what? ))

TMG:er, wait a sec, that second roll was just his crit confrim

TMG:he still needs to roll damage

Sszeyl: (( I was rolling to confirm critical. ))

Liatai:-- OH. XD

Sszeyl:« 1d3+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 »

Liatai:... Same result, though. ^^'

Liatai:Man, I fail at reading die rolls tonight. XD

TMG:perhaps appending "AttacK" Confirm" and "Damage" before rolls like I do will help with that? :o


 * Sszeyl pulls leg back and kicks 'im between the back legs.

TMG:*that's to Meany and everyone else)

Sszeyl: (( Agreed. ))

VAE:i dont't roll in batches

Ghostwish:back!

Worg:Congratulations. You now have an angry worg turning around to glare at you. Its upper lip curls in a snarl.

Liatai:Just in time! It's Barshal's turn. ^^

Sszeyl:"Bring it, puppy."

Drayco:...Did Sszeyl just kick the Worg in the nuts?

TMG:drayco; no, he failed the confrim roll

Drayco:...Actually, is said worg male or female?

Liatai:Is anyone looking to check? XP

Sszeyl: (( I think Sszeyl would know by now. :P ))

Barshal:Puppy should watch out for the wildforged.. He just took a five foot step back, and summoned a wolverine with Summon Nature's Ally II!

Liatai:Assuming he can tell a worg's gender with his feet... :P

Barshal:At 127, 35.

Sszeyl: (( Open toe sandals. :P ))

Drayco:Man, no wonder you failed the crit roll...

Liatai:Yes, I know it's a badger, but roll with it. :P

VAE:bloody hell... can't you summon it where it would allow me to flank?

VAE:like here

Liatai:Is it in the right place?

Ghostwish:Yup!

VAE:yep

VAE:there, thanks

Ghostwish:And it attacks the worg. :D

TMG:actually, elros can get into that position first ^^;

VAE:he has ranged attack

VAE:i don't

VAE:can anybody say "efficient" ?

Barshal:Barshal hollars out, "Help it flank the work!"

Faerie:Elros was going to go for sword attack though.

TMG:he drew his sword, though...

Faerie:^that

Barshal:*worg

VAE:well, whatever

Wolverine:« 1d20+4 = 19 + 4 = 23 » Claw 1! « 1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15 » Claw 2! « 1d20-1 = 7 - 1 = 6 » Bite!

Wolverine:« 2d4+4 = 5 + 4 = 9 »

Ghostwish:Worg: F ME.

VAE:what's elros's Str though?

Worg:The worg yips and snarls at the little irritating thing!

Elros has received initiative.

Liatai:Guess we'll find out. Elros!

Faerie:Str is +2 btw

VAE:allright then, go on

VAE:there's cage!

VAE:you can't stand there

Faerie:Oops ^^;

Ghostwish:And that's also where you get the flanking bonus from the wolverine. :D

Faerie:But, diagonal is fair attack, yes?

Caswin has connected.

Liatai:Be sure to tell me whether you're attacking the worg or its rider, okay? ^^

Ghostwish:Oh of course.

Ghostwish:So long as you're touching the area the square is, you can strike with melee.

VAE:No, only i can attack on diagonals

VAE:Cleric = Bishop

Liatai:XDVAE:DTMG:*snrk*

Liatai:But yeah, that's a valid area to strike from.

Elros:Elros takes a step forward, and alices at the Worg with his longsword. « 1d20+4 = 9 + 4 = 13 »

VAE:flanking bonus!

VAE:and BAB

VAE:you didn't include at least one of those

Liatai:That's a hit!

Faerie:Erm...flanking is what I didn't include. >>

Liatai:Still a hit. :D

Faerie:But if Lia says hit, it's a hit.

VAE:below 13 AC 0_0

Liatai:AC 14.

Liatai:Flanking made it a hit.

Elros:Elros strikes for « 1d8 = 4 » damage.

VAE:allright ^^

TMG:plus str

TMG:1d8 plus str bonus

VAE:so 6

Elros:4+2

TMG:yup...

Elros:« 4+2 = 4 + 2 = 6 »


 * VAE facepaws

Trofim has received initiative.

Faerie:I'll get it right eventually. :B

Liatai:The blade slices cleanly through the worg's shoulder, leaving a bright red gash.

Trofim:Trofim whacks the Worg with his flail « 1d20+4 = 18 + 4 = 22 »

Liatai:WHOCK. Roll damage!

Trofim:The flail bashes the worg's skull for « 1d10+1 = 5 + 1 = 6 » leaving a trough

VAE:pity it wasn't 19

VAE:would have been a crit threaten

Worg:The worg staggers and growls, looking ragged, tongue hanging out.

VAE:end turn i guess

TMG:hmm...can Gnogglebolt shout something now?

Liatai:Yep!

Ghostwish:brb again

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt shouts yet another phrase in Goblin angrily. After that, he then shouts in Common, "Let him go!"

Drayco:...NOBODY has Wild Empaty?

Drayco:*Empathy

TMG:drayco; Elros does, but this is a trained animal.

Liatai:Two members of the party do.

TMG:it's -wild- empathy :P

Drayco:Awwww...

VAE:Trofim's a peasant.. you think he'll empathise with what is essentially a wolf on steroids?

Liatai:The worg's Int is too high for wild empathy, anyway. ^^'

TMG:or...does it apply to enemy domesticate'ds?

VAE:besides he doesn't even have wild empathy

TMG:oh yeah, Worgs are intelligent

Drayco:In COmplete Warrior, they make GREAT familiars...

Worg:The worg snaps and snarls, lunging for Gnogglebolt and seeming to tell him exactly what he thinks of that proposal. The goblin on his back howls a battle cry.

Worg:« 1d20+7 = 20 + 7 = 27 »

Worg:« 1d20+7 = 6 + 7 = 13 »

TMG:Oh friggedy O.O

Worg:« 1d6+4 = 6 + 4 = 10 »

Ghostwish:back!

Drayco:Was that first one a crit?

Ghostwish:Yuuuup.

Worg:CRUNCH. The worg's teeth close around the gnome's body with a sickening CRACK.

TMG:no, not a crit (thank Garl)

TMG:but, uh...

TMG:Gnogglebolt is down. Hard.

Ghostwish:fffff XD

Trofim:YOU *BLEEP* *BLEEP* OF *BLEEP*ING *BLEEP* YOU WILL *BLEEP*ING PAY!

Drayco:...Maybe a Half-drag isn't overkill afterall...

Ghostwish:... where the flippity fork is Derish?

Goblin in Orange:The goblin lashes out at out with a morningstar at the shouting Trofim - « 1d20+2 = 2 + 2 = 4 »

Liatai:Holding the catfolk back.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Ghostwish:No, where is the token!? XD

Gnogglebolt:After shouting at the rider, the rider simply yells his battlecry and egs his mount on. The large mount manages to get all of the small gnome's midsection in his jaws...and claps down. Gnogglebolt utters a horrify cry, then falls to the ground, silent and bleeding badly.

Ghostwish:Oh. XD

Trofim:Trofim grins at the failed attack attempt

Nintrok:The goblins stand still, trying not to move. They're weaponless, and facing one of their enemie's most dreaded partners... They're not going anywhere soon!

Barbarus has received initiative.

Sszeyl:"Trofim, get to the gnome, now."

Barbarus:Still grappled?

Liatai:*enemies'

Liatai:Yep.

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 11 + 1 = 12 »

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 19 + 5 = 24 »

TMG:barnabus may attempt aother opposed grapple to perform an action

Trofim:You won't command me around! I know what is to be done

Ghostwish:DE-NIED.

TMG:nope XD

Barbarus:End turn. :P

Ghostwish:brb, flippin steaks and shifting laundry about

TMG:On derish's next turn

TMG:assume he grapple checks to pin?

VAE:hmm btw, inking in gimp is awesome once i learned how to use layers like a person

Drayco:...Ghostwish is making steaks and all I have is this lousy cheesecake factory cheesecake?!

Drayco:...What is Barbarus, again?


 * Maximillian Toris runs back into the room and utters a Draconic curse. Unfortunately, he can't do much... except start humming a quiet, rousing song. Inspire Courage, +1 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls!

Derish has received initiative.

TMG:Barbarus is a Catfolk

Liatai:A catfolk.

VAE:hey! cheesecake is nice! ... except for the part that would give danman the running disease

Drayco:...No PC class?

VAE:rogue

Liatai:« 1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11 » Grapple check in Ghost's stead.

Ghostwish:back

Drayco:Isn't there some kind of Rogue-skill to escape Grapple?

TMG:xDLiatai:XDGhostwish:Ghostwish is texan, and hence a master of BBZ. :D

Liatai:Or you can roll. XD

Ghostwish:*BBQ

Liatai:You might do better than I did. XD

Ghostwish:Can I take whichever one is better? :P

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 10 + 5 = 15 »!

Liatai:Nope. You roll, you take your roll.

Liatai:... which was better anyway. XD

Liatai:Barbarus?

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »

TMG:a-ha

Drayco:Ouch...

TMG:Derish may now choose to take any grapple action

Derish:The big gnoll pins the poor kitty!

Derish:"Toris? A bit of rope?"

Sszeyl has received initiative.

TMG:effects of pinning, for Meany's sake;

TMG:If You're Pinned:TMG:When an opponent has pinned you, you are held immobile (but not helpless) for 1 round. While you’re pinned, you take a –4 penalty to your AC against opponents other than the one pinning you. At your opponent’s option, you may also be unable to speak. On your turn, you can try to escape the pin by making an opposed grapple check in place of an attack. You can make an Escape Artist check in place of your grapple check if you want, but this requires a standard action. If you win, you escape the pin, but you’re still grappling.

Drayco:How many ranks in Escape Artist?

Ghostwish:brb, getting steaks

Drayco:What's the player's lvls, anyway?

Liatai:2.Liatai:Every PC is ECL 2.

Drayco:Oh...

Meany is disconnected.

Liatai:>:TMG:yes. We spent twelve sessions at lvl 1. It was awesome :D

TMG:...that, not s much >:TMG:*so

Drayco:So that's what you were going on about...

Drayco:...I think I see why everyon'e still stuck at lvl 2...

Ghostwish:back

Liatai:Drayco - You say that like it's a bad thing. o.o

Ghostwish:Meany is in IRC.

Drayco:What sis everybody do for 12 sessions?

Drayco:*did

Liatai:Progressed the story, had fun, kicked goblin butt? :3

Ghostwish:Listen to the only character who speaks goblin talk to goblins. >>

Liatai:Roleplayed awesomely, found out many unexpected things?

Drayco:All of a sudden, I'm thinking of Goblins, the webcomic...

TMG:^^;;

Liatai:Made lots of progress, really. ^^

Drayco:...Then why not hand out RP exp?

TMG:ah yes, I discovered that recenlty

TMG:drayco; she did

VAE:ahahaha

TMG:that's actually why we're lvl 2 x3

Caswin:That does sound like a lot of fun.

VAE:yeah

Liatai:Plus, only one day has passed in-game. :P

VAE:1000xp for RP

VAE:750 XP RP

TMG:er, you mean 750 for combat

VAE:basically we spent time at a slower rate OOC than IC

VAE:and yes, tech

VAE:which is hillarious

Meany has connected.

TMG:there he is

TMG:alrighty, gogo sszeylman! :o

Meany:Last I got was Drayco asking how many ranks in Escape Artist.

TMG:whispering...

Ghostwish:brb, dinner's ready

TMG:so yeah, still your turn, nothing has happened

VAE:oh, meany

VAE:i am inking and colouring Icepick SSzeyl

Sszeyl:Do i still get flanking bonus if Gnogglebolt's out of the action?

TMG:nope

VAE:if it will go well, soon you will have the new char portrait

Drayco:No.

TMG:only flanking if I was actively distracting the guy

TMG:Barshal can, however, step over my prone body...

Drayco:He's lying on the ground and bleeding to death... That's not much of a threat...

TMG:but that's not until his turn

Sszeyl:« 1d20+4 = 9 + 4 = 13 »

Drayco:...Can't anybody jump up onto those tables?

Ghostwish:back

Sszeyl:Unarmed strike attack on Worg.

Liatai:They're not tables, they're cages. ^^'

Drayco:AoO, Sszeyl.

Drayco:...Oh.

Liatai:And unfortunately, the worg is guarding his naughty bits with its tail this time. X3

Barshal has received initiative.

Liatai:*his tail

Sszeyl: (( ..Eh? ))

Sszeyl: (( Alex rolled a 13 earlier, and you said it hit. :o ))

VAE:FLANKING

Liatai:He forgot flanking.

Drayco:UNless you're monk of have claws, an unarmed strike provokes an AoO.

Liatai:Its AC is 14.

Ghostwish:Hrm... leave gnoggle to die.. or heal him.. leave him to die.. oorrrr...

VAE:but then.. what about Sszeyl

Sszeyl:Dang.

Sszeyl:End turn.

Elros has received initiative.

TMG:wait, no

Ghostwish:HEY

Barshal has received initiative.

TMG:if you add in flanking, he hits

Liatai:Aack, sorry!


 * Ghostwish chases with a hammer.

Sszeyl:I have no flanking, Gnogglebolt's down.

TMG:sszeyl should be able--oh

TMG:right. Doy.

TMG:Carry on.

Sszeyl:I asked this not two minutes ago. xD

TMG:I know, I know xD

TMG:temporary short-term memory loss...

Barshal:Barshal quickly kneels down, and uses his magic on Gnogglebolt. « 2d8+2 = 10 + 2 = 12 »

Liatai:Back to full health he goes! ^^

TMG:...he's got a lvl 2 spell at druid level 2? o.o

Ghostwish:... oops.. I just pulled a patches. XD

Liatai:X3Ghostwish:« 1d8 = 3 »

Ghostwish:Subtract three from that. :D

TMG:that's more--er.

Liatai:Okay, so he's not unconscious anymore! :D

TMG:doesn't work like that :/

TMG:I'll take that 1d8 as your real roll

VAE:Does it matter that much?

Ghostwish:END TURN. XD

VAE:Take the average between the two numbers

Elros has received initiative.

Faerie:Do I still have flanking?

Liatai:Yep! The wolverine's still there.

Gnogglebolt:As gnogglebolt's wounds begin to close and his ribs stitch back together, his eyes fly open and he gasps for breath.

Elros:Elros takes another swing at the Worg! « 1d20+4+2 = 10 + 4 + 2 = 16 »

Liatai:Hit! Roll them dice! :D

Elros:for « 1d8 = 3 » damage

TMG:(plus str)

Elros:« 3+2 = 3 + 2 = 5 »

Liatai:The worg collapses, but the goblin on the worg's back is still going strong.

Trofim has received initiative.

Meany:+1 from Max's song.

Faerie:I -almost- got that all right. >>

Barshal:"Welcome back, Mr. Gnogglebolt. Might I suggest you move away from the angry goblin, post haste?{"

Trofim:Trofim whacks the goblin with all force « 1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15 »

Liatai:WHAM. Damage time!

TMG:+1 song bonus, too :D

Trofim:« 1d10+2 = 1 + 2 = 3 »

Goblin in Orange:The goblin takes a good whack, but still stands!

Trofim:*bleep*!

VAE:end turn

Goblin in Orange:He whirls around and tries to whack Trofim on the knees. « 1d20+2 = 6 + 2 = 8 »

Goblin in Orange:However, the motion of his mount falling beneath him throws off his swing, and he curses loudly.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.

Gnogglebolt:Hearing Barshal's words, Gnogglebolt meets the goblins eyes...and gives him a grim, dissapointed look before switching places with barshal

TMG:(er, can I do that? Swap places with an ally?)

Liatai:I think we ruled last session that you could if both allies were willing.

TMG:does barshal resist?

Ghostwish:couldn't he just 5 foot step to 127, 32?

TMG:well, I could, but that leaves an open spcae for the enemy goblin to get at Slat

TMG:(and in fact, I could move through nintrok and slat)

TMG:Ghostwish? you still here?

Ghostwish:Yes.

Ghostwish:Allright, fine, Barshal switches. Kind of against his self-preservation, but okay. :P

TMG:well, he's bigger :B

Ghostwish:Yes but how many gnomes are there, and how many wildforged? ;)

Liatai:You're both kind of endangered species. :P

TMG:one and one? :B

TMG:oh xD


 * Nintrok runs up to Gnogglebolt and hurriedly says something in Goblin.

Barbarus has received initiative.


 * Maximillian Toris keeps humming the song, carefully avoiding the wolverine in front of him.

Derish has received initiative.

Sszeyl has received initiative.

Barshal:"Don't try and pet her."

Ghostwish:Derish ever get any rope? :P

Sszeyl:« 1d20+4 = 20 + 4 = 24 »

TMG:skipped over barbarus and derish? o.o

Sszeyl:« 1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12 » Critical confirmation.

Ghostwish:o.o

Liatai:Yes, he did! ^^ (Barbarus is pinned, Derish is maintaining the pin, and he can do things now, since he's not in combat.)

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at Nintrok, wincing. He hesitantly puts a hand in his pocket, then says something back.

TMG:(Sszeyl has flanking now)

Liatai:No critical confirmation, but that's a hit!

Sszeyl:« 1d3+4 = 2 + 4 = 6 »

TMG:actually barbarus -can- attempt to escape the pin...but oh well


 * Sszeyl focuses for a minute, then tries another nerv strike.

Goblin in Orange:WHAM. The goblin goes down, falling on top of his mount.

Liatai:Combat over! :D


 * Liatai plays victory music.


 * Sszeyl holds his ribcage. "Ow."

Liatai:... ooh, better.

TMG:so, the worg got hit with nonlethal damage, right?


 * Maximillian Toris hums victory music.

Barbarus:"Lemmegolemmegolemmegolemmego!"

Trofim:Now, this looks to be it... but they don't look like lie-mages

Liatai:Yes, but his lethal damage also exceeded his HP.

Trofim:these are just other bunch of stupid goblins

TMG:ahh.

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 »

TMG:Okay, so the worg's dying, but all the goblins are just unconscious

VAE:Hmm, can such animal change owner?

Sszeyl:"Now we have more bounties to collect. Joy."

Liatai:The worg is pretty devoted to his master. :P

VAE:just wondering whether trofim could try to overtake it XD


 * Sszeyl finds a cage he can sit on and does so.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks up to Sszeyl. "Actually, Drow..."


 * Sszeyl sounding actually pained. "What?"

Elros:Elros sheathes his sword, and leans against the nearby cage.

Gnogglebolt:"Aside from them assaulting us, which has happened in the wilderness, we've got nothing on them. Castleton's jursidiction doesn't apply here, especially since it was goblin tribal warfare."

Derish:« 1d20+5 = 17 + 5 = 22 »

Gnogglebolt:He steps forward. "These goblins are from a rival tribe."

Ghostwish:Yay. Derish hog ties the cat. XD

Barbarus:"Lemmegolemmegolemmegolemmego!"

Caswin is disconnected.

Caswin is disconnected.

Derish:"Uhhmmmmm...... No."


 * Brian Toris peeks around the corner now that the hubbub has died down.

Sszeyl:"...If you're going to make a point, do so." The Drow brings forth his fan, and hides his face again while waving to propduce a slight breeze.

Gnogglebolt:"Even though that one's wolf-beast almost got me...there's nothing to be done about it. We have to let them go."

Barbarus:« 1d20+1 = 16 + 1 = 17 » Escape artist.

Derish:"Watch him, Brian."

Brian Toris:"Mm." He nods. To the catfolk, he says "And who is this... Venezuela? Sounds like a foreign name..."

Barshal:"That is foolish beyond reason. They are both aberrations against nature."

Gnogglebolt:"Or, well, since we are outside of lawful jursidiction, we -could- do amlost anything we want to them, but I'd like to maintain some semblance of order."

Sszeyl:"What."

Drayco:*The drow is in the cage! Shut the door and lock it!

Ghostwish:*SLAM* *click!*

Barbarus: (( Results of my check? ))

Liatai:The knots hold firm.


 * Barbarus struggles, then goes limp.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt merely rubs his forehead. "They'll wake up in an hour or so, we can deal with them then. For now, we need to make sure that catfolk hasn't caused too much trouble..."

Sszeyl:"An hour?"

Gnogglebolt:"Just drag them all up against a wall or something."

Sszeyl:"Two of them were downed by a nerv strike. They'll be down the rest of the day unless I undo it. Which I don't know how to do."

Sszeyl:"One was slammed into a wall as hard as I could manage. He's going to be down much longer."

Gnogglebolt:"Well then, the one who does wake up in an hour can drag his comrades away himself."

Sszeyl:than an hour*

Gnogglebolt:"Either way, the catfolk is the more pressing matter at the moment."

Elros:"You were preparing a cage for him earlier, yes?"

Derish:Derish looks up from the hog-tied catfolk. "Everything went well, I hope?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt heads around the corner, and is relieved to see the catfolk still around. Tied up even, it looked like.

Brian Toris:"... Who is this, anyway?" Brian prods the catfolk's shoulder.

Gnogglebolt:"He claims to be a hunter." Gnogglebolt says.

Barbarus:"Stop that, you'll smuge my paint."

Derish:"Won't give his name. Probably doesn't have one, if he is a stray."


 * Barbarus sounds listless.

Barbarus:"You never asked."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt walks over to the catfolk, and kneels down to get eye level (very strange for a short gnome)

Gnogglebolt:"Well, we -did- ask who you were. But more pressingly...I hread you ranting about "They'll kill her". Who were you talking about?

Barbarus:"You asked who I am, and what my purpose was. I answered those already. Who I am is not my name."

Barbarus: (( Oh, almost forgot, insert spanish accent. :P ))

Trofim:Now look cat... either you answer like we need to, or you end like those goblins


 * Brian Toris considers this, and nods. "Makes sense..."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt rubs his chin. "Hmm. Unusually thoughtful."

Trofim:Am starting to get annoyed, and beridze is, too

Gnogglebolt:"But now. Who is "her"? And what is her name?"

Elros:"Also, who you are may not be your name, but convention dictates that we must call you something."

Barbarus:"Her is Venezuela. I left her outside so she could enjoy the grass while I hunted."

Barbarus:"She never sees grass that short anymore."

Elros:"And for lack of a name, some may favor something less than polite."

Gnogglebolt:"...alright then, -what- is Venezuela?"


 * Maximillian Toris peeks around the corner. "... Did you really have to truss him up like a turkey?" ^^'

Barbarus:"Venezuela is my...this language doesn't have the right word for it, traveling companion, adopted sister, are as close as I can get it."

Faerie:Yarg. Don't mention trusses x.x

Faerie:Sorry, just had a test all about trusses. x3

Gnogglebolt:"No, I mean, is she a catfolk like you, or something else? I'm not terribly familiar with Catfolk culture, but as you mentioned she was eating grass, I'm inclined to think not."

Faerie:i.e. bridge trusses. Just calculating forces, but...still.

Liatai:Ohhh, engineering student, I see. XD

Faerie:Yes. x3

Faerie:Aerospace, specifically, but all engineers take this class.

VAE:oh!

VAE:You are engineer too?

Barbarus:"To clarify, I never said she was eating the grass, and no she is not."

VAE:5.9!

Faerie:Aerospace engineering freshman.

VAE:And i share your pain

VAE:i hate structural mechanics with a passion

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt rubs his forehead. "Now you're just being silly and doding the question."

Faerie:Well

Drayco:Most game-related chat, or I stab you all with Nerf darts...

VAE:(if you didn't get the joke, the above was a high 5)

Gnogglebolt:*dodging

Faerie:I haven't even gotten to fluid dynamics yet. x3;

Gnogglebolt:"If Venezuela is not a catfolk like you, then what is she?"

Barbarus:"Finally, a direct question. She's a mule."


 * Sszeyl still holding ribs here. Still in pain. Ow.


 * Brian Toris grumbles something that sounds like "Lord in Celestia, he talks like my brother..."

Maximillian Toris:"What was that?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt blinks. "...Very well then."


 * Brian Toris grumps.

Papa:*woof? ... CAT :O*

Gnogglebolt:"I will be right back."

Barbarus:« 1d20+5 = 16 + 5 = 21 » Listen on woof.

VAE:fluid dynamics is neat


 * Papa walks up and starts sniffing the catfolk.

TMG:actually...hrm, nevermind


 * Barbarus flicks ears back, reflex save to avoid getting baffed by bird skull ear-rings.

Gnogglebolt:"Now, what is -your- name?"

Papa:« 1d20+5 = 7 + 5 = 12 »

Papa:*snuff snuff snuff at the ears.*

Drayco:...For a moment I thought that dog was a funny-lloking string bean or something...

Barbarus:"Barbarus of the Rolling Clouds. And you?"

Gnogglebolt:"I am Gnogglebolt Sparkgear from Mazio."

Caswin has connected.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt stands up.

Papa:*Well I never, person on the other side of the fourth wall. >:P*

Derish:"Rolling Clouds.." Derish mutters.. any chance the wolf knows anything about them?

Liatai:Knowledge (local)! Or Int check.

Gnogglebolt:"Well, Barbarus, if we take you to see your Venezuela and she is allright, will you calm down and do what we say?"

Barbarus:"I'll calm down, of course. Obedience? Not so much."

Gnogglebolt:"Well then, that will be a problem."

Gnogglebolt:"You've been difficult already. We need assurance that will not continue."

Papa:*licks at the catfolk's ears curiously*

Derish:« 1d20+1 = 4 + 1 = 5 » int check.

Derish:DERP

Derish:"I could put him on a leash?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt smacks his forehead.

Barbarus:"I've been difficult trying to get away from a group of-stop that, it tickles-people who tried to kill me, and then held me against my will when my companion could have been dead or worse?"

Derish:"As I tried to explain to you, kitten, you wandered into the middle of a stakeout."

Gnogglebolt:"Well, you tried to run from us initially. That was a bad move."

Maximillian Toris:"Now hold on there a second, who said we were trying to kill you?"

Gnogglebolt:"Had you simply stayed and explained yourself, all this unpleasentness could have been avoided."

Papa:*what's that you say? Sniff more? Okay!*

Barbarus:"I tried to run from you when the jumpy rookie tried to take a cut of of my face with his sword."

Gnogglebolt:"...He'd already been held back after that. But anyway."

Sszeyl: (( Would going into Trance accelerate healing these wounds? ))

TMG:er, healing is 1 hp per day... >.>

Drayco:...It's sleep for most eveything else, so...

TMG:(or two, with full rest)

Liatai:Not really, but it might be a way to pass the time.

TMG:(something like that)

Barbarus:"Hey, if the rookie's first instinct is to kill, one can usually assume his commanders are of similar thinking."

TMG:he could ask Barshal or Trofim for a healing

Sszeyl:Better yet.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt sighs. "Anyway. Despite your uncooperative behavior...you haven't used any abilities that suggests you are someone we're looking for. I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt."


 * Sszeyl slides off the cage, and walks around the downed bodies, to the cluster of peoples. "Papa, could I get you to fix my ribs for me?"

Gnogglebolt:"And in that case, then we will take you to see your venezuela. After that...I suppose you can do whatever you want. It matters not to us."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks around. 'Anyone have an objections?"


 * Papa looks up and wags his tail.

Sszeyl:"Didn't he try to blow our cover when we thought the necromancers were comming early?"

Gnogglebolt:"...Actually..."

Barshal:"Objection!"

Caswin is disconnected.

Caswin is disconnected.

Faerie:"As long as he does not get in out way further, I have no objection."

Elros:"As long as he does not get in out way further, I have no objection."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt kneels down again, and picks up the whistle from Barbarus. "Tell me what this is for."

Faerie:>>Barbarus:"It's a signal whislte. You blow it, people hear, and come towards it."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt also glances back at Barshal. "yes?"

Barshal:"Nothing, I just wanted to see what you would do."

Gnogglebolt:Gnoglebolt freezes, and looks back to Barbarus. "-what- people?"

Gnogglebolt:"You are not alone?"

Barbarus:"I was kinda hoping someone from my caravan would be out and about here. Maybe one of the shamans, who collect stuff from the woods too."

Derish:"Ah ha, knew it."

Gnogglebolt:"...caravan? Do tell."

Barbarus:"Either they'd be strong enough to rip your lungs out, or weak enough to go for help."

Derish:Derish lifts up a footpaw and puts it on the catfolk's head. "Probably with a group from his tribe."

VAE:Oh ,meany... new icepick sszeyl

VAE:http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dm510/icepick1.jpg

VAE:coloured

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at Derish. "And is that a problem?" He asks pointedly, obviously disturbed at his action.

Barbarus:"My tribe is not even in this region of the country, and get your filthy feet of my face, they stink."

Meany:Hehehe. :3

Meany:Nice, Danman.

VAE:like ?

Derish:Derish pointedly musses up his ears. "So who are they then?"

Meany:Thankee.

Barbarus:"Halflings, and southern Cats."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt perks up at the mention of Halfings.


 * Papa tries to wiggle his way past the crowd -- 'scuse me, pardon me, magical dog coming through...

Sszeyl:"Hey, Papa."

TMG:(OOC: Gnogglebolt's next suggestion may be problematic, but I see no way for him to go on anything else... >.> )


 * Sszeyl pets the dog. Not a Pet the Dog Moment, though. :P

Derish:Derish flicks his ears, and takes his footpaw off Barbarus' head. "Southern catfolk? I thought you were a southern catfolk?"

Gnogglebolt:"Alright then. We will take you to collect your Venezuela, then find the caravan you were traveling with, and leave you with them."

Barbarus:"The Clouds are North, of the Desert and Plains."


 * Papa reciprocates with a healing lick! « 1d8+5 = 7 + 5 = 12 »

Barbarus:"Much obliged."

Sszeyl:"Thank you."

Drayco:VAE: Isn't SSzeyl a drow?

Liatai:He is. Why?

Gnogglebolt:"Alright..." Gnogglebolt undoes the restraints on Barbarus's legs only, to allow him to stand up.

Drayco:...His hand is backwards...

Drayco:...QUICK!!! STAB HIM!!! TAB HIM NAO!!!

VAE:he is

VAE:hmm, is it?


 * Barbarus bounces about a bit, to get circulation back.

Drayco:Well, aren't the light-things claws. or something?

VAE:AHAHAHAAHAHA

Sszeyl:Long nails are a Drow fashion.


 * VAE facepaws laughing hard

Sszeyl:Better for nerv strikes too.

VAE:spending too much time with rakshasas

Drayco:Ah, that's what happened.

Drayco:^^^Hence, my "STAB HIM NAO" comment...

Gnogglebolt:"Alright, move along everyone...Gnogglebolt says, gesturing everyone to move out of the corrirdor into the room.

Meany:...Where did the Goblins go?

VAE:will correct it tomorrow

Drayco:'Kay.


 * Sszeyl goes back to the cage room.

GM:And so, with a partially trussed catfolk, a dying worg, and four unconscious goblins laying in the cave...

VAE:now we should sortta pack up, i'mma gonna shower and do stuff

GM:... oh, shoot, sorry, Faerie :x

VAE:haha... you know how it happened?

TMG:is everyone moving?

VAE:when i was doing the original sketch i was looking the hand off mine

GM:Our group of random people prepare for their next adventure... The Search for Venezuela!

Drayco:Ah, makes sense.

VAE:and well, put it exavtly the way....

Elros:What about me? o.o

VAE:and NONE OF THESE BUGGERS TOLD ME!

GM:And I think this is a good place to leave off. ^^

Liatai:I didn't notice! XD

Sszeyl:Mkay. :3


 * VAE mrows at Liatai and Meany!

Faerie:Oh. x3

Meany:Save the log.

TMG:hmm, alrighty....

Faerie:'s cool, I'm just joking.

Meany:Do it now. :P

Faerie::PTMG:(or, by any chance, would you be okay with us continuing, danman?)

TMG:(or no?)

Derish:Derish jumps on the catfolk's head and does a jig.

Ghostwish::pBarbarus:*disillusioned Fa'Lina face*

Liatai:I'm kind of running low on energy, so. ^^'

Ghostwish:And now what goes through Ghost's head: http://intertuberecords.memebase.com/2010/11/10/viral-music-videos-mad-sidewalk-choreography/
