Liatai:Thank you muchly :D
Ghostwish:Welcome. ^_^
Ghostwish:Sooo... parallel universes? :>
Liatai:Aye. :3 Yea/nay/maybe?
Ghostwish:Very much Yea. The chance of shennigans are near endless. :>
Liatai:Indeed they are. x3!
Liatai:I'm already planning to have Salishea make a throwaway reference to a paladin of Tamara undergoing some sort of spiritual purification quest. :B
Ghostwish:*snrk!!*
Liatai:... have you been labelling tokens. :B
Liatai:Just so you know, when gametime comes, I'd advise joining as a player. There are things on these maps that GMs see that players are not supposed to, like hidden doors.
Ghostwish:*SNRK*\
Ghostwish:Yes, I came on as GM just to josh with you. :P
Liatai:x3
Liatai:... is it bad that I'm terribly temped to leave those labels there until the other players can see them. :B
Ghostwish:*SNRK!* I was half-hoping you'd never notice, and that is exactly what would happen. :P
Ghostwish:There's one other thing I did you haven't noticed yet. :P
Liatai:*snrk* You got the GM token too. XD
Ghostwish:More. :>
Liatai:... and filled it with Liatais. XD
Ghostwish:More! XD
Liatai:You missed Kor. :B
Ghostwish:DOH

Ghostwish:^_^
Liatai:Say, you wouldn't happen to know where coatracks are in Mapping Objects, would you?
Ghostwish:hmmmmmmm.. definitely under domestic.
Liatai:« 6d12+3 = 24 + 3 = 27 »
Ghostwish::O!!!
Liatai:« 6d12+3 = 45 + 3 = 48 »

Liatai:« 1d100 = 12 » « 1d100 = 21 »
Ghostwish:We're doomed, aren't we?
Liatai:That was a loot roll. :B
Ghostwish:You mean we're poor!?!? :(
Liatai:XD
Liatai:« 1d100 = 1 »
Liatai:.... no that's ridiculous. :B
Liatai:Rolling to see how many arrows are in this lootpile. :B
Liatai:« 1d100 = 58 »
Liatai:Better. :B
Liatai:There, I think I'm done for now. :3
Ghostwish:^_^
Ghostwish:We're all goners, aren't we?
Liatai:I gave you tons of time to prepare and lots of gold to do it with. x3
Ghostwish:... so. very. screwed. XD

TMG:Richter was the bookworm.
TMG:Not Cadamon. :B
Ghostwish:Oh pffft, I can never keep them all straight. :P
Ghostwish:Ashmore's the one with the hots for Tathi, right?
* Ghostwish flees from all the bricks.
Dr. Hatari:I need to get in a Thomasy state of mind. Hmmm...
Ghostwish:Punch yourself in the face. HARD. Now just imagine someone else is doing it. :P
* Dr. Hatari youtubes puppies tugging ferociously on the ends of toys their owners are trying to pull away.
Tathi:Edaric, where did your label go? >:P
You whisper to Ghostwish: By the way, Edaric is going to be pulling Aelian aside briefly in a bit; you're welcome to play Aelian's responses if you wish. Just one backstory detail that Aelian would know that might color the responses...
Meany:Loading last two maps~
Meany:|3
Tathi whispers: Ooooo! *dares not make a joke about threesomes*
Meany:Done.
Meany:Starting map?
You whisper to Ghostwish: Edaric has four siblings, all sisters. :B The Tonmor family is a farming family back in the pair's hometown of Oakridge.
Liatai:Castle Osyluth - B1.
Tathi whispers: ... I have no idea how to react to that response. Bravo. XD

Ghostwish:AW. Ya got rid of me labels. Le sad.
* Ghostwish glares at Hatari.
Dr. Hatari:That was me, to do a Korline. :B
Dr. Hatari:Though I wonder now why it failed.
Liatai:Tokens dropped onto map 'Castle Osyluth - B1' Failed to paste token(s) with duplicate name(s): « Kor = Invalid expression: Kor. »
Ghostwish:Kor is controllable by everyone now.
Dr. Hatari:Ahh

Ghostwish:... oh dear gods it's a villian isn't it?
TMG:...what?
Liatai:... namely because I chose it for an elf. :B
Ghostwish:Liatai offered up that token I'm using for Arengle. :P
Ghostwish:WHAT

Liatai:Frosting + cookies always = win. :B
You whisper to Faerie: To explain... Ghostwish: right. I need to make a level 10 artificer. :> Liatai: I swear, I will laugh when it comes time for that token to appear in Akellon.

Faerie whispers: :P Fair enough
GM:Righto! Is everyone ready to begin the expedition into the magical undead-filled catacombs of Castle Osyluth?

GM:Meany, you with us?
GM:Might as well start the recap. Last session in Akellon...
GM:There was a lot of travel! And a lot of storms.
Ghostwish:
*hugs the DM token!*
Ghostwish:okay I'm done. Unless I'm praying to the dice gods. XD
TMG:The DM proved herself to be a Master of Mu.
GM:But finally, the Vigilant Guardians and their Leaden Mace allies have arrived at the doorstep of Castle Osyluth! Well, not exactly the doorstep. The Guardians bypassed the front door in favor of a small trap door on the side of the castle.
GM:Oh yes. The bridge wasn't trapped.
Thomas Lazarus:Well. Atleast we got to torment the cute zombie sharks.
Ghostwish:I am going to be -so- evil.
GM:It took some doing, but party and animals all eventually have managed to squeeze into the passageway. Prepare your lightsources if you haven't already!
Ghostwish:er, taking it to the irc, sorry. XP
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt strikes a sunrod, and wedges it in the top of his backpack, leaving his hands free.
GM:The floor and western wall of this tunnel are moist, and there are a few small puddles of water along said wall. The tunnel is surprisingly clean, however. It has a faint floral smell that anyone who was in the Sargano tomb might recognize.
Tathi:"Someone familiar has been housekeeping."
* Cadamon Gardner closes his eyes briefly and intones a prayer; a soft silver glow manifests around him. Light of Lunia get!
Gnogglebolt:"And we're in..."
Thomas Lazarus:"So it seems. Hopefully she has as much taste with her defenses. I would love half of them to be dancing the afternoon away until we're done."
* Edaric pauses on his way down the ladder... then hops down and taps Aelian's shoulder. "Ael. Psst. Ael. Got a favor to ask of you."
Elros:"Hmm. You'd think whoever designed this castle would button up any hidden passages. Oh well."
Aelian:Aelian glances over. "It better not be to babysit your sisters or some such." He says, smirking a bit.
Thomas Lazarus:Thomas expended 2 Shield Other spells. But darned if I don't forget who they're on.
Thomas Lazarus:Sszeyl, probably. And... who else? :.
* Edaric smirks. "Welllllll.... you could think of it that way..." :3 He takes a letter and pouch of of his pack.
Landon Skar:Mm.
TMG:got autosave logs, hatari?
Thomas Lazarus:... You know, based on my forgetting -- yes. x3
Thomas Lazarus:It was Landon.
Aelian:He peers at the note. "Message from home?"
Edaric:"To home. I forgot to send this when we were back in Blackwood. Would you mind holding onto it until we get back there?" :3
Edaric:"After all, they're more likely to aim for the noisy bard than the silent sniper with a wizard protector who'll blow them up for sneezing at him wrong." :P
Aelian:"I was about to ask if you were planning on doing anything heroically suicidal. But allright, I'll hold onto it, if just to give it back to you later, because you ARE coming out of this alive, understand?" He says, waggling his finger at the bard.
Thomas Lazarus:"... You wouldn't be left behind, Ed." He remarks quietly, with a somewhat stern tone behind it.
Edaric:"Yes Mom," he remarks to Aelian. :P 20 PP and letter get!
* Thomas Lazarus draws out his blade and roundshield. "Well. Let's proceed, shall we?"
Cadamon Gardner:"... Actually, one moment. That reminds me."
Gnogglebolt:"Now is the time for action, as we've noted, Pamela almost certainly knows that her bird is neutralized. Let us proceed."
Meany:Sorry.
* Thomas Lazarus lowers his weapon slightly. "..Yes?"
Meany:Drama llama appeared.
* Faerie was tempted to say to Edaric "Now now, just because Aelian and Tathi are trying..."
Dr. Hatari:No one likes you, Drama Llama~
* Cadamon Gardner addresses the Guardians. "Those of you who aren't members of the Leaden Mace may not know this, but our commander is quite skilled in divine magic... skilled enough to perform resurrections, should they be needed."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt readies both his crossbow and blunderbuss, then glances over to Cademon.
Tathi:"Again, she is not certain of its destruction. Only that she has lost control of it. However, I suspect one look out the window will expose our intent. Suddenly, it occurs to me we should have hid the corpse."
Dr. Hatari:Silly Tathi. We did. We hid it in her sharks.
Cadamon Gardner:"I've been authorized to extend the choice to you whether or not you would want to be resurrected should the unexpected happen."
Dr. Hatari:The giant swan boat, less so.
Flint Carthan:"We did." =3=
Flint Carthan:"I think Tom gave the sharks a snack."
Tathi:Oh, disregard then. Player is busily statting an artificer. XD
Sszeyl:"..."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks down and contemplates.
Calrach:Calrach just shrugs.
Sszeyl:"That, for me at least, is a spiritual debate best saved for later. =3=;;"
Elros:"...I must say, this is...unexpected."
Tathi:"Only if Aelian agrees to it as well."
Aelian:".. now I know how the deer in the hunter's sights feels."
Calrach:"I live for the story, and if I go down, so much more to add to it. But if anyone tries to bring me back, I won't have a problem..." Yet, Calrach seems slightly uncomfortable about something.
Thomas Lazarus:"It's up to you all. I would sell off all of my arms and armor in an instant to fund your return to the living world. Every one of you have earned as much a chance."
Tathi:She smirks back at Aelian. "My homeland is ash, my people are scattered, so that leaves you about the one thing I'm living for."
Edaric:"Hey, if I'm coming out of this alive, you'd better come out of it alive, too, Ael. After all, you've got my letter." :3
Thomas Lazarus:"..Personally, I'm beholden to family. The Mace knows my choice."
Elros:"Heh. If I were dead, it would be hard for me to resist anything."
Aelian:".. not sure if I should feel honored or worried at that. Allright, I am for being revived."
Gnogglebolt:"...I suppose I shall say the same as Calrach. If anyone tries to bring me back, despite it magic, I have no issue as well. If I recall, such spells require a large material investment of components, and I think I have the funds for it."
* Cadamon Gardner nods to Thomas.
Calrach:"Oh yeaaah...the funds thing. My pocketbook took a hit recently..."
Cadamon Gardner:"Not to worry, I'm sure a payment plan could be decided on." ^^
Elros:"Yes, and I have some...unfinished business to take care of, after this. I shall agree, as well."
Tathi:Tathi gives Aelian a peck on the cheek, but then glances back at the hounds. "And now I worry about them. Are you sure they'll be safe down here?"
Calrach:"Well, if you think of some way for me to work off the debt if you raise me, that's fine too."
Cadamon Gardner:Good grief, was the priest a salesman in a former life? :P
Aelian:Aelian glances back. How well has he trained the hounds?
Sszeyl:"To be sum it up."
Ezer:They better be well-trained enough to not try anything funny with me. >.>;
Sszeyl:"Yes, I would like to be ressurected, but I wouldn't be allowed to come back, so it's moot. =3=;"
Liatai:Tavia has tricks picked out; Amadre is your hound, so she's only been trained with the basic Come and Down, unless you'd care to pick out more tricks. :3
Tavia:>:3
Sszeyl:"Mind if I look ahead, with darkvision?"
Ezer:Hiss. :[
Thomas Lazarus:"Yes... the gods demand a large sum of diamond dust for the ritual. It is a tax on the mortal world out of necessity, not vanity on their part. It is important that death has a place in the world, no matter how tragic the circumstances often are. Without great personal sacrifice, the divine anchors of the world would wield too much power. And the people would take too much advantage of the luxury. It's just ... the way things have to be, in the end."
Ezer:Oh, question. Do animals get attribute points at certain levels?
* Smoke sniffs the air, then sneezes.
TMG:(that is an excellent in-game justification as I've ever heard. Nice, hatari. :) )
Ghostwish:Oh, let's have the pups mirror each other. :>
Liatai:They do! Whenever they reach 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 HD, just like a PC. :3
Dr. Hatari:I had to give it some thought. Some day Tom will be able to Rez. And he just cannot rez every unfortunate dead civvie we find. (:3
Liatai:Tricks Known - Come, Defend, Down, Attack, Heel, Guard for Amadre. Tavia also has Track.
Faerie:Heh. I was kinda wondering, like, what if Ezer leveled his int up to PC-level? >.>
Dr. Hatari:lulz
Liatai:... is that even possible? :B
Liatai:I think animals have to have an Int of 1 or 2.
TMG:Wow. I....don't think I've -ever- seen any mentioning or rule covering that. xD
TMG:Debate for another day, I believe
Faerie:Aww xP
Faerie:Sorry, the thought just occurred to me. >.>
GM:Yes, let us prepare! Move yourselves into what position you want -- and also!
GM:Is anyone interested in taking control of an NPC?
Ghostwish:LANDON. :>
GM:If not, is fine. Just wanted to offer. :3
TMG:Hatari gets Cadamon.
TMG:Obviously. :>
Dr. Hatari:lulz
Sszeyl: (( =3=; ))
Sszeyl: (( I guess I'll try my luck. ))
TMG:I've already got two PCs, so no NPCs for me.
GM:Actually, I would like to keep control of Cadamon, if I could.
Sszeyl: (( With Flint? ))
TMG:heh, alright. 'Twas a joke, anyway. |3
GM:Just because he's in a position of command over three other characters.
Thomas Lazarus:The third better be smoke. *brick'd!*
GM:All right! Ghost, http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=52256
Ghostwish:well, if you want landon, I already have a cohort. :>
Ghostwish:OH GOD NO MACROS TAKE HIM :P
GM:Meany - http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=52254
* Ghostwish shoves Landon on Thomas.
Sszeyl: (( Thirty? ))
Sszeyl: (( You're getting old, hatman. :U ))
Ghostwish:HAY. >:O
Sszeyl: (( "You are old, father William, the young man said..." ))
Sszeyl:"Ahem."
Sszeyl:"Gnoggle, may I switch places with you? :B"
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt, holding his blunderbuss, shrugs ad stows that, pulling out his crossbow.
Dr. Hatari:I'll control Landon if you wish, sure.
Teeny Rin:I'm sorry, but your angstface offends some viewers.
Ghostwish:Kay. ^_^
Dr. Hatari:For combat, of course.
Teeny Rin:*censorship Rin*
Landon Skar:Hrm. :\
GM:Onward!
GM:A door stubbornly stands in your way. >:O
Sszeyl:"Hmm."
Sszeyl:"Gnogglebolt, could you check for traps?"
* Sszeyl stands aside.
Thomas Lazarus:"As my family would say, I have some 'dwarven lockpicking skills'. But I imagine brother Flint here could do better."
Gnogglebolt:"If I had room..."
Elros:"...we need breaching equipment."
Gnogglebolt:"That I can do."
Elros:"...and just to confirm, i is indeed locked, yes?"
Sszeyl:"Ahem."
Sszeyl:"We have myself, Thomas."
Elros:*it is
* Sszeyl clunks down the battering ram.
Sszeyl:"And this."
Sszeyl::|
* Thomas Lazarus smirks.
Landon Skar:And Tathi, the fighter's glance at the wood elf seems to say. >.>
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt Searches the door. not taking 20, speed is of the essence. « 1d20+4 = 5 + 4 = 9 »
Sszeyl: (( |B ))
Tathi:Huh? What?
Gnogglebolt:...but for good measue, he tries several times. (3 more)
Thomas Lazarus:"..There aren't a lot of doors that were built to withstand a determined Lazarus. And as it happens, that's the only flavor we come in."
Gnogglebolt:Search: « 1d20+4 = 11 + 4 = 15 »
Gnogglebolt:Search: « 1d20+4 = 9 + 4 = 13 »
Gnogglebolt:Search: « 1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12 »
Gnogglebolt:Anything?
GM:No traps found.
Gnogglebolt:"Alright, I think it's safe..." He reaches up and tries the handle (without opening)
GM:It jiggles freely. It's unlocked.
* Thomas Lazarus nods.
Sszeyl:"Very well. Now, if the wall of meatshields could be remade, let's continue?"
Gnogglebolt:He steps back and lets Sszeyl take his place again.
Thomas Lazarus:"..Allow me, if you please."
Cadamon Gardner:Wall of meatshields? ^^;
Thomas Lazarus:Thomas doesn't flinch at the meatshield comment. |3
Tathi:"I could open the door.."
Elros:"Yes, see, if it's unlocked, we could just...open it." >.>
* Thomas Lazarus assumes total defense, and opens the door with his movement action. 27 AC bulwark!
Sszeyl:"Thomas, what do your human eyes see? :."
* Thomas Lazarus glances around briefly, then lowers his guard. "Clear. Narrower path though."
Liatai:Inversion ahoy. :B
Sszeyl:"Three to a row, people."
Tavia:Hi! :>
Thomas Lazarus:Why did we bring puppies on the undead assault. =3=
Edaric:Dunno, but I'll chill with them. :3
Dr. Hatari:Yo, dawgs. *BRICKS*
Elros:"Maybe we'll find undead who are dog-phobic?"
Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 19 + 5 = 24 » Spot check!
Liatai:On?
Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 14 + 5 = 19 » Listen check!
Sszeyl:That door down there.
Sszeyl:>:O
You whisper to Meany: You hear the sounds of a hammer striking metal and occasional hissing sounds to the east of your current position, beyond the wall.
Sszeyl:"Hold."
Elros:"Hm?"
* Sszeyl listens for a bit, swivveling each ear at the noise.
Sszeyl:"A hammer striking metal."
Sszeyl:"And hissing."
Sszeyl:"Perhaps a forge."
Flint Carthan:« 1d20+8 = 1 + 8 = 9 » To confirm this...
Flint Carthan:"What?"
Gnogglebolt:"...That's weird."
* Landon Skar listens. « 1d20+2 = 10 + 2 = 12 »
Thomas Lazarus:"Armed undead, are they..?"
Landon Skar:"... where?"
Thomas Lazarus:"Well. Strike while the iron's hot, as they say."
Sszeyl:"Down the hall, and to the right."
Sszeyl:"There's a door."
You whisper to Meany: Ack, no.
Liatai:It's to the right, not down the hall. Current position on the map.
Liatai:... that was supposed to be whispered. ^^;
Sszeyl::.
Tavia:

You whisper to Meany: Other side of the wall.
Sszeyl:Retconning.
Sszeyl:"On the other side of the wall."
* Sszeyl points.
* Landon Skar looks at the wall. "..."
Cadamon Gardner:"We'll have to keep that in mind, then."
GM:Shall we move down the hallway?
Thomas Lazarus:Indeed.
GM:There, room for the door patrol.
Ghostwish:brb!
Sszeyl:"Gnoggle?"
Gnogglebolt:"On it."
Gnogglebolt:He spends about 25 seconds (round the strangely exact 24) looking around the door.
Gnogglebolt:Search: « 1d20+4 = 18 + 4 = 22 »
Gnogglebolt:Search: « 1d20+4 = 1 + 4 = 5 »

Gnogglebolt:Search: « 1d20+4 = 1 + 4 = 5 »
GM:No traps found. Another unlocked door.
Gnogglebolt:He steps back. "All yours, Thomas."
Dr. Hatari:Pretty good followed by, "Yup. Uh-huh. Looks good. =3="
Thomas Lazarus:Right then. Shield up, the door is swung open.
Elros:"Hope this hallway isn't any smaller..."
Thomas Lazarus:"Clear. Same diameter."
Flint Carthan:"She mentioned last time how hard it was to get zombies to walk single file. I doubt it." =3=
Flint Carthan:"... dead end?"
You whisper to Meany: Elf ping.
Sszeyl:Ping?
Sszeyl:"Hold..."
TMG:Liatai, some fog accidentally got cut away D:
Dr. Hatari:Hello revealed corner. >:O
Liatai:??
Sszeyl:"Tathi, do you feel it?" Secret door nearby."
Sszeyl: (( See by Cadamon. ))
Liatai:Oh. :B

Flint Carthan:"Got one."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt picks out random areas and searches carefully.
Dr. Hatari:Well, not taking 20 doesn't necessarily take less time. Such as in this case. :B
Gnogglebolt:24 for taking 20
GM:Eventually, all 4 hidden doors are found.
* Thomas Lazarus looks about at all the suddenly revealed doors. :.
Elros:Elros searches as well, and gets 31 for taking 20?
Liatai:Holy -- Wow. XD
Liatai:Elros IS the master of sense checks. XD
Elros:Or theycould be found already. What lovely patterns in the molecular structure of the walls though.
TMG:Well, he IS a ranger. They're supposed to be good at tracking and finding...
Thomas Lazarus:"..Well. Might as well be orderly with it. Clockwise, starting with Sszeyl's?"
* Flint Carthan starts to go around and listen at each one carefully... « 1d20+10 = 11 + 10 = 21 » « 1d20+10 = 16 + 10 = 26 » « 1d20+10 = 6 + 10 = 16 » « 1d20+10 = 7 + 10 = 17 »
Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 6 + 5 = 11 » Listen check!
* Smoke sniffs under the door.
* Flint Carthan lowers his voice. "Might want to arrange for battle first. Lots of moving bones and... splashing noises under this one."
Flint Carthan:"Quiet on this one."
Thomas Lazarus:"Right."
Flint Carthan:"Quiet here, too."
Flint Carthan:"... sounds like someone chopping something in here."
Sszeyl:Total defense ready beside Thomas.
* Thomas Lazarus hefts his shield and lays his right hand on the door-handle. He waits beyond that.
Sszeyl:21 AC.
GM:Everyone arranged?
* Thomas Lazarus glances over his shoulder. When everyone looks ready, he attempts to throw it wide open.
Ghostwish:Ready!
Dr. Hatari:I could feng shui the animals and bards a bit more, but it'll do~
GM:The door swings open to reveal... horrors! D:
TMG:wait
TMG:crap
TMG:nvm...
GM:DISHWASHING!
Elros:...apparently, I'm in the back. Do you want me more up front?
Sszeyl:"Skeleton maids."
* Thomas Lazarus stares briefly. "..."
Gnogglebolt:"What."
Elros:"Do not want."
Flint Carthan:"....."
* Thomas Lazarus lowers his shield a few inches. "... This is definitely Pamela's castle."
Tathi:Tathi peeks in. "Yup. That is her calling card. And considering what she did last time, I suggest we get rid of them this time."
Gnogglebolt:"Hang on!"
Sszeyl:"Shall we just...break them up, or leave them to their work?"
Gnogglebolt:"I do remember what happened last time, but."
Scullery Skeleton 3:The skeletons continue to move around and wash dishes blithely.
Gnogglebolt:"We know that she knows when her connection to an abomination is broken.
Gnogglebolt:"WHat do you think she'll guess when this happens repeatedly, in a linear path?"
Sszeyl:"Gnogglebolt."
Sszeyl:"She knows we killed her bird, and haven't killed anything in the courtyard."
Thomas Lazarus:"Be that as it may, it's not as though we'll be reaching her without destroying any of them. This is the purpose of our presence, afterall."
* Thomas Lazarus takes a few steps inside.
* Flint Carthan is frowning at the room, weapons drawn. He follows Tom.
Tathi:"Destroy them. We know how she will just command them to attack us later."
* Thomas Lazarus just gives them a bewildered look for the moment.
Gnogglebolt:"I'm just advising the wisdom of saving as much energy and getting to the master of this place as soon as possible without alerting her."
Scullery Skeleton 3:'Scuse me, carrying dishes.
Aelian:"I agree. These are basically just undead soldiers waiting for orders, are they not?"
* Thomas Lazarus steps aside. =3=;
Edaric:"..." >.>
Edaric::3
Sszeyl whispers: Question.
Aelian:"I see that look. Might as well say it." Aelian sighs.
Edaric:"I've heard of people working themselves to the bone, but this is the first time I've seen it literally."
Elros:*badum-tsh
* Landon Skar frowns. >.>
Sszeyl whispers: Monk weapons can be used to attack with at the User's Unarmed Strike mod...what does that mean? =3=;; Like, in case you took weapon focus (unarmed strike?)
Elros:"Don't quit your day job."
Tathi:A collective groan from the entire Tathi gang. Yes, even the puppies.
You whisper to Meany: I'm not sure. :.
* Thomas Lazarus remarks quietly to the other Inquisitors, "Is it terrible that I feel this much hesitation in striking down undead ... house-servants?"
Sszeyl:"Thomas."
Sszeyl:"Just turn them."
Thomas Lazarus:"I feel like a raiding barbarian."
* Cadamon Gardner folds his arms into his robe sleeves.
Gnogglebolt:"Oh yes. Blast them with that holy light of yours."
Cadamon Gardner:"Better to grant their souls rest than let them keep toiling in indentured servitude."
Thomas Lazarus:"..That is so."
* Thomas Lazarus approaches the middle of the room and palms his gauntlet-chained symbol of Pelor.
Elros:"It can't be pleasant for -them- to continue this way."
* Cadamon Gardner is watching.
Thomas Lazarus:"Find peace." He remarks simply as light flashes through the room. Turn undead! (Checking notes)
Thomas Lazarus:« 1d20+0+2 = 10 + 0 + 2 = 12 » « 2d6+6+0+2 = 6 + 6 + 0 + 2 = 14 »
Sszeyl: (( Up to 14 12 hd monsters? ))
Thomas Lazarus:Undead of up to 6 HD are turned, and 14 HD worth of such undead are actually turned. 3 HD undead are destroyed.
Sszeyl: (( Ah. ))
Dr. Hatari:No. The result of 12 = cleric's level. There is a table.
Dr. Hatari:That's why I always look it up in my Marius notes.
Meany:Crash.
Meany:=3=
Scullery Skeleton 7:The skeletons quietly crumple in their servant's dress... well. Not so quietly.
Scullery Skeleton 7:KER-CRASH!
Scullery Skeleton 7:There go some dishes.
TMG:They are all blasted to dust...
* Thomas Lazarus lowers his arm.
Thomas Lazarus:"..Atleast I did not have to go about striking them with my sword."
Gnogglebolt:"....Well. I must say, that was efficient."
Sszeyl:"Doors."
GM:A voice calls from the next room. "The lady will be highly disappointed if that was the good china."
Thomas Lazarus:"Let's continue searching."
* Thomas Lazarus falls silent. "!!"
Elros:"..."
* Sszeyl full defenses.
Tathi:Tathi gang enters the room, and then freezes.
Gnogglebolt:"Now perhaps the reasoning behind bringing Cadamon is--" Gnogglebolt likewise clamps his mouth shit.
Liatai:« 1d20+5 = 18 + 5 = 23 »
Liatai:... what a typo. ^^;
* Thomas Lazarus grips his blade tightly and looks about. Where were you, voice? Listen! « 1d20+2 = 12 + 2 = 14 »
Calrach:...SHUT
Gnogglebolt:Clamps his mouth SHUT.
Liatai:To the east, a male voice. That soon speaks up again.
GM:"... My my. The lady didn't tell me we were expecting guests."
TMG:Fekkin keys are right next to each other!
Dr. Hatari:I'll have to remember that one.
Dr. Hatari:"Clamp that mouth shit!" :B
* Thomas Lazarus narrows his eyes, and advances on the door immediately.
GM:"Come out, would you? The roast isn't quite done yet, but there should be stew ready."
Faerie:If the voice is something powerful, we might be saying shit in a minute.
Liatai:Oop!
Dr. Hatari:XD
Liatai:Meany froze.
Meany is disconnected.
TMG:uhoh! Pausing.
Meany has connected.
TMG:last line you saw?
TMG:...yo?
Liatai:Yo.
* Dr. Hatari aquires more drinks. =3=;
Meany is disconnected.
TMG:Uhoh.
Liatai:Uhoh indeed. ^^;
Meany has connected.
Dr. Hatari:Joo alive yet?
TMG:welcome back, again.
Meany:* Dr. Hatari aquires more drinks. =3=;
TMG:If back you be.
Dr. Hatari:Ah.
Dr. Hatari:Up to date then.
Dr. Hatari:Except a bunch of uh-ohs.
TMG:Okay, last line you saw -before- that? Before your first DC?
Meany:Not able to retrieve.
Meany:Closed client.
TMG:D:
Dr. Hatari:Good enough.
TMG:..last thing you -remember-, then? :B
Meany:Suddenly, a voice from the next room.
* Meany kicks Flint out of Sseyl's spot. :U
Flint Carthan:Hey! >:\
Thomas Lazarus:DOOR OPENING POWERS ACTIVATE. I could be a Mass Effect protagonist!
Meany:What's that?
Meany:Paint your toenails pink?
Meany:ALRIGHT.
Faerie:I shall bravely take the toenail painting for him.
Faerie:*cough
Meany:...
Meany:Is that..
Mr. Johnston:The next room appears to be a kitchen of some kind. A man in tailored garb is there, fixing a platter of some kind... though the color of his flesh clearly indicates either disease or undeath.
Meany:Mr. Johnston? :B
Liatai:... I knew that name was used somewhere. XD
Liatai:Different Mr. Johnston. :B
Faerie:Cave Johnson?
* Dr. Hatari is clueless.
Ghostwish:Johnson is a common name. :P
Meany:Second officer on the Harridan.
Meany:Johnston.
Meany:See the t.
Thomas Lazarus:Clank, clank, tromp. >:|
Ghostwish:Misspelling of johnson.
* Mr. Johnston raises an eyebrow.
Mr. Johnston:"Not often guests come out of the scullery, or at all nowadays." He gives a pleasant enough, if needle-toothed, grin.
Mr. Johnston:"That wasn't the good china, was it?"
Thomas Lazarus:"Is that so? Well." He glances around rather sternly.
Sszeyl:"No."
Sszeyl:"That was all of the china."
Thomas Lazarus:His gaze rests on the polite man of questionable mortality. "We are aquaintances of the Lady, indeed. And who might you be?"
Thomas Lazarus:Despite the polite verse, his tone is rather demanding.
* Mr. Johnston takes something out of his pocket and checks it briefly... it's beaten and silver, but it should be familiar to anyone who has taken a watch with the Guardians. Literally. "... ten minutes until the next basting, long enough to chat."
Ghostwish:Dibs. :O(
Dr. Hatari:lulz
Ghostwish:Edaric, you big silly, move up! :O
Thomas Lazarus:Tathi gang is invite-only. Sadface. :(
Mr. Johnston:"Johnston was my name in life, it will do just fine." He grins again, seeming unperturbed. "And yourself? ... All of yourselves? My, had I known, I would have made more soup."
Liatai:-- GUAH big spider D:
Meany:KILL IT.
* Thomas Lazarus is looking increasingly disarmed and uncomfortable, just as he had moments ago in the other room. "..."
Meany:WITH FIRE.
TMG:Catch it in a cup and toss it outside. :o
Liatai:It ran under the bed, it can stay there. ^^;
Sszeyl:"I'm sorry."
Sszeyl:"We really would love to chat conversationally."
Sszeyl:"But, we're on duty."
Sszeyl:"On guard, sir."
Calrach:"We need to go see The Lad, actually." Calrach goes in hurriedly.
Calrach:Giving SsZeyl a little kick in the back of his leg as he passes.
Calrach:*LADY
Dr. Hatari:You and these compromising typos, today.
Mr. Johnston:"... you wouldn't happen to have met the lady before, would you? I recall her mentioning a dark elf, two gnomes, an elf with a gem in her forehead, a half-elf with green hair..."
TMG:I have GOT to slow down my typing.
Mr. Johnston:"... she'll be most disappointed you've cut your hair, sir." =3=
Calrach:"Yes, yes, we would like to see that Lady. Might you tell us the quickest way...to...her..."
Thomas Lazarus:"That was the point." Poker face.
Calrach:Well, this isn't good. Calrach thinks.
Tathi:« 1d20+5 = 4 + 5 = 9 » knowledge religion!
Ghostwish:Well bugger. That was to figure out what this guy is now.. but so much for that.
Elros:Hmm. Maybe the green hair is a bit distinctive. Derp.
Sszeyl:« 1d20+8 = 16 + 8 = 24 » Knowledge Religion check.
Mr. Johnston:"Afraid not, little one. It would be most ungracious, and a terrible breach of duty." He grins again. "Are you certain I can't convince you to leave the way you came?"
* Thomas Lazarus narrows one eye a bit twitchily. She told her butler how much she wanted to play with my hair when I was dead. -3=;;;
You whisper to Meany: Ghoul.
Sszeyl:"Uhoh."
Sszeyl:"Ghoul."
Sszeyl:"Magic weapons, to the front."
* Thomas Lazarus clamps his eyes shut and frowns. "... No ..."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt squeezes in, sighing at what he hears.
Thomas Lazarus:"I have had enough of entertaining the puppeteer's charade that you are still people."
Gnogglebolt:"Thomas, Cadamon?" He whispers. "Now would be a good time."
Thomas Lazarus:"Defend yourself."
* Thomas Lazarus advances! « 1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20 »
Mr. Johnston:"Oh, very well." He checks the pocketwatch one last time, and seems to smear something from the inside lid on his skin while he raises his voice. "Helter, Skelter. We have some unruly guests."
Sszeyl:« 1d20+8 = 11 + 8 = 19 » Knowledge Religion check.
Gnogglebolt:"...now would be a VERY good time..."
Tathi:« 1d20+floor((dexterity-10)/2) = 15 + floor((17 - 10) / 2) = 18 » initiative!
Aelian:« 1d20+5 = 17 + 5 = 22 » initiative!
Mr. Johnston:"Ten minutes is enough time for a short battle, as well." « 1d20+4 = 16 + 4 = 20 » init! « 1d20+2 = 6 + 2 = 8 » « 1d20+2 = 13 + 2 = 15 » for the shapes materializing out of the cabinets.
Sszeyl: (( GM has not called for Init, yet. :O ))
Calrach:Init! « 1d20+2 = 11 + 2 = 13 »
Elros:« 1d20+3 = 19 + 3 = 22 » Init
Sszeyl:« 1d20+2 = 19 + 2 = 21 » Dex check!
Gnogglebolt:Init! « 1d20+1 = 19 + 1 = 20 »
Ghostwish:HAY DM NOT CALLED 4 INIT YET
Ghostwish::P
Ghostwish:
*hugs the DM token!*
Ghostwish:
*hugs the DM token!*
Ghostwish:
*hugs the DM token!*
Flint Carthan:« 1d20+3 = 18 + 3 = 21 » Init.
Liatai:Please set your own! And who rolled Religion? :3
* Thomas Lazarus seems to be leaving the undead turning to the more adept cleric. He seems to have his mind on his blade, and that well-mannered Ghoul who needs to die because... because! >:|
Meany:Yo.
Ghostwish:I did. But failed badly. XP
Dr. Hatari:(I maintain that it would be incredibly fun to be one of Pamela's minions for a minisession. :B)
You whisper to Meany: Those would be shadows. Incorporeal undead that can pull the strength out of a person with a touch.
Liatai:Who's got control of Landon?
Cadamon Gardner:« 1d20 = 20 »
Dr. Hatari:Oops. >.>
TMG:You sick creeper. D:
Landon Skar:« 1d20+2 = 8 + 2 = 10 »
Edaric:« 1d20+1 = 6 + 1 = 7 »
Dr. Hatari:What. =3=
Sszeyl:"Tathi."
Sszeyl:"Cadamon and Thomas."
Sszeyl:"Focus on the shadows."
Sszeyl:"They cannot be fought with melee, because they absorb the strength out of those they touch."
Liatai:Holy --
Liatai:Okay, let's talk Dex modifiers. XD
Meany:Flint goes before Sszeyl.
Thomas Lazarus:+1
Elros:+3 mod, so...?
Ghostwish:HA. Not challanging anyone. :>
Sszeyl:+2
Flint Carthan:+3
Smoke:+infinity
Flint Carthan:You and I have the same, ranger. Want to roll for it?
Flint Carthan:1d20, whoever rolls higher goes first.
* Elros shrugs. « 1d20 = 6 »
Liatai:Gnogglebolt and Thomas also have a conflict and the same Dex.
Flint Carthan:« 1d20 = 14 »
Dr. Hatari:« 1d20 = 11 »
Liatai:Gnogglebolt?
TMG:« 1d20 = 15 »
Aelian has received initiative.Meany:Go go Cohort Ranger!
GM:Here we go!
Ghostwish:... I will eat your OTHER spleen if you say that again XD
Meany:Go go Cohort Ranger!
Meany::B
Ghostwish:AMNAMNAMNAM
Ghostwish:burp.
Meany:=3=
Aelian:Aelian quickly fires off a pair of arrows in the span of a heartbeat! « 1d20+8 = 8 + 8 = 16 » for « 1d8+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 » and « 1d20+8 = 3 + 8 = 11 » for « 1d8+1 = 8 + 1 = 9 »!
Faerie:o/` Go go Cohort Ranger~ o/`
Aelian:Surprise, Johnston.
Faerie:(Power Rangers theme)
Aelian:All done!
Mr. Johnston:Both arrows swing quite wide as he dodges, putting away the pocketwatch nonchalantly. "None of you would happen to be sorcerers, would you? It's been so long since I've had a chance to work with sorcerers..."
Flint Carthan has received initiative.Flint Carthan:"Nah."
Aelian:*Splurch! Splat!* The arrows land in the pie in the background. :O
Flint Carthan:Done.
Faerie:...I suppose it's cheating to take two separate moves instead of one direct, when one makes 35 ft and two add to 30 ft?
* Mr. Johnston looks to the pie. "And now I'll have to make a new pie." :/
Meany:Actually...
Elros has received initiative.* Smoke growls at the shadows. >:E
* Thomas Lazarus mutters aside, "The shadows are all yours, brother." Johnston can most certainly perceive the templar gunning for him!
Faerie:Because, Elros is 35' from Mr. Johnston right now.
Dr. Hatari:You could charge.
Faerie:But moving to 13, -29 is 25' then from there to 14,-30 is 5'
Dr. Hatari:It doubles your movement and gives you +2 to hit and -2 AC for one round.
Faerie:Can I draw a weapon while charging?
Dr. Hatari:Yup.
Liatai:Oop.
Dr. Hatari:It's gotta be a straight line, though. :x
Liatai:Charging is only in a straight line.
Meany:Straight line only. =3=;
Faerie is disconnected.
Dr. Hatari:Just about any of those--
Dr. Hatari:=3=;
Liatai:^^;
Faerie has connected.
Liatai:Last you saw? ^^;
Faerie:Sorry, we tried to fix it at the same time.
Liatai:Oop, sorry. ^^;
Faerie:No, I'm current.
Liatai:Didn't realize that would make you DC. :x
Faerie:Well, I had to DC to get rid of the error that would keep popping up until I did.
Faerie:Anyway. Is that fair?
Liatai:Usually, you can just keep clicking to get through those, they'll go away eventually.
Faerie:Oh, they normally keep going for me, but w/e
Liatai:Depends. Does Tom's space count as obstructed, combat maneuver specialists? :.
Dr. Hatari:I'd say it only is if he wants it to be. He isn't that fat. :B
TMG:ehh....somewhat debatable.
Dr. Hatari:Elros is an ally afterall.
Liatai:Then perfectly legal. XD
Meany:Are you implying Tom is hefty, Tech?
Meany::B
Ghostwish:By the rules of D&D.. yes.. by logic, no. So, mechanics or atmosphere. :P
TMG:Technically, by exact rules, probably yes (says you can't charge through even an ally). But going aorund the corner, I see no reason why not except to be anal about it. :B
* You roll to yourself: 1d20+7 => 6 + 7 = 13Dr. Hatari:Can't charge through allies? So that line of Tathi, Aelian, and Edaric represents a 15 foot wall of inpenetrable Red Rover? lolnope.
Meany:GM.
Meany:Question.
Faerie:I mean, I only need an extra 5' here. >.>;
Liatai:Yes?
Meany:How strong is that wine rack?
Dr. Hatari:ATTACK.
Liatai:Not strong enough to use it to wing at Johnston. :B
Meany:Can it endure it's own weight when in the air?
Meany::B
Liatai:Not to mention bolted to the wall.
Meany:Details.
Meany::B
Ghostwish:Johnston: Oh gracias! *BLAM*
Elros:Alright, sheesh, attacking. Elros charges up, drawing his sword, and swings it at Johnston. « 1d20+10 = 10 + 10 = 20 » (+2 more from charge?) for « 1d8+5 = 6 + 5 = 11 »
Meany:Oh thank you? :B
Ghostwish:gracious. Shuddup. I live in texas. :P
Meany:Well that's one HD chopped off.
Meany::B
Mr. Johnston:Actually, I would. That one has my 'wines' on it. The other one has the former lord's. Doo dee doo, dodgin'.
Liatai:... actually.
Liatai:Did you include the +2 from charge in that roll, or no?
Faerie:No, with the +2 I would have 22
Faerie:Without it, I get 20
TMG:Nice slice, halfelf :U
Mr. Johnston:Then the sword actually manages to hit! A neat slice is carved through ghoul and tailored garments alike. "-- Tch."
Sszeyl has received initiative.Sszeyl:"Tathi, Cadamon, I can trust you'll handle the shadows? :."
Tathi:"I only see one."
Cadamon Gardner:"We'll manage. Tathi, take the one you can see."
Sszeyl:"The other one's up here, you'll have to come insde to blast them both."
Tathi:Sure! LIGHTNING BOLT-
Sszeyl:That count as a straight line? :B
Thomas Lazarus:D:
* Mr. Johnston speaks in Infernal... Any chance anyone aside from Cadamon and Flint speak it?
TMG:One of you clerics just turn freaking all of them! xD
Liatai:No, it doesn't.
Liatai:The table is an obstruction.
TMG:Dust the shadows and debuff Johnston. :B
Sszeyl:Dang, double move.
Sszeyl:...With one more thing.
Dr. Hatari:Johnston is almost certainly basically immune to turning. And the skilled turner's turn is coming up later, sheesh. :B
Sszeyl: (( Ohwait, no. ))
Sszeyl: (( Marking the targets does nothing here. ))
Sszeyl: (( Done. :B ))
Mr. Johnston:The well-mannered ghoul backs up, grin becoming a bit more feral. Black flames spring to life around him, and he draws a rapier from a sheath at his hip.
Liatai:... No Spellcraft? Very well.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.Tathi:Hey!
Gnogglebolt:Very not good...
Tathi:I was just dreaming about how badly he's going to be hurting after Tathi's turn. :>
Tathi:« 1d20+11 = 20 + 11 = 31 » spellcraft! -5 if its necromancy or illusion, +2 if it's evocation!
Gnogglebolt:Time for the only effective weapon I possess.
You whisper to Ghostwish: That would be a spell of necromancy, all right. Death Armor. Seems the ghoul has some necromantic tricks of his own.
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt runs forward, pulling out a vial of holy water as he runs.
Ghostwish:diplomac- oh.
Dr. Hatari:He said effective. :B
Tathi:"Watch it! That's death armor! The ghoul knows spells!"
Gnogglebolt:Tossing--oh you guys. xD
Tathi whispers: the hey does death armor do?
Sszeyl:"Death what? |."
Flint Carthan:*grumble grumble*
Tathi:"Armor!"
Sszeyl:"What does it do?"
Gnogglebolt:Nngh. Even with the ability to double the range increment of thrown items, still taking a -4 on this. Frigging 10-ft increment holy water.
Liatai:One moment, being called.
Gnogglebolt:i have GOT to finish my bombchucker.
Liatai:SC page 60.
Gnogglebolt:Holy Water toss! « 1d20+6-4 = 2 + 6 - 4 = 4 »
Gnogglebolt:ohboy. Where did it land...counting counterclockwise from directly north of Johnston: « 1d8 = 6 »
Meany:It hits Tom.
Tathi:"Oh, how lovely.. those flames will burn you if you strike him up close."
Gnogglebolt:3 total range increments, so...
Sszeyl:"Hit him with the table? Got it."
Tathi:"Quite."
Mr. Johnston:"That's an antique." >:/
Gnogglebolt:Holy water landed there, where I pointed.
Gnogglebolt:End turn.
Thomas Lazarus:"You're all antiques." Oh boy.
Sszeyl:"Then turn your flames off if you don't want it ruined. :D"
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.Sszeyl:"We're the vulgar home invaders. You're supposed to be civilized."
Thomas Lazarus:Who started the Leon Kennedy pun battle combat dialogues.
Thomas Lazarus:Thomas advances, but is at a temporary loss. He delays till after Helter.
Mr. Johnston:"How rude. I'll have you know my deathday was only two years ago. And the lady's ungent has done quite well at arresting decay..."
Meany:Here comes the Turning.
Cadamon Gardner:« 1d20+7 = 17 + 7 = 24 » Knowledge check...
Meany:Hello?
Meany:Testing, testing.
* Cadamon Gardner frowns, and instead focuses. The silver light around him intensifies... "Be sent to judgement, vagrant soul." « 1d20+4 = 18 + 4 = 22 » « 1d20+4 = 9 + 4 = 13 » « 2d6 = 12 » « 2d6 = 11 »
Meany:One two.
Meany:Aha.
Helter:The light coalesces into two thin beams, which rocket straight into the shadow and burst! When the light fades, the shadow is no more.
Cadamon Gardner:"Miss Tathi, if you would."
Tathi has received initiative.Tathi:"Gladly."
Thomas Lazarus:ELROS LOOK OUT
TMG:...hrm. I don't know, but from those rolls, I would think Cadamon could have zapped -both- shadows...
TMG:(...almost typo'd "Cadanom" :B )
Tathi:Tathi points her hand at Skelter, « 1d20+6 = 16 + 6 = 22 » and unleashes a deadly beam of fire at them for « 4d6 = 7 » points of damage!
Liatai:« 1d100 = 8 »
Dr. Hatari:It seems the dice luck was sucked up by Cadamon.
Skelter:The flames char a nice hole in the cabinets, but the shadow seems unperturbed as the flames go right through it.
Tathi:Tathi actually growls. "Okay, next time? You AND your friend are dying."
Cadamon Gardner:"Archer, your weapon is magical, correct?"
Tathi:All done!
Cadamon Gardner:"Back up Miss Tathi."
Aelian:"Back up my lover who have me the magical bow, you say? Huh, can't say I'd disagree with that order.."
* Skelter drifts forward, paying no heed to cover. It waits near the ghoul...
Sszeyl:"Why would he mention that in the dungeon of a confirmed psychopathic monster?"
Calrach has received initiative.Landon Skar has received initiative.Calrach has received initiative.Tathi:"Style."
Liatai:Sorry!
Liatai:This mouse thinks I'm double-clicking when I'm not. ^^;
Dr. Hatari:=3= ?
Liatai:Calrach's turn.
TMG:oh!
TMG:One sec...
Calrach:Calrach's throwing arm isn't nearly as good as Gnogglebolt's, so for now, he settles for helping everyone else.
Calrach:He moves forward, then chants a verse of bravery and resolve in the face of the flame. (move, then starting Bardic Music)
TMG:Good ol' +1 to atk and dmg for everyone
Landon Skar has received initiative.* Landon Skar advances swiftly, passing his quarterstaff to his left hand and drawing his crossbow out in his right. He holds it aloft and fires off a bolt towards Mr. Johnston! « 1d20+7 = 1 + 7 = 8 » « 1d8 = 1 »
Landon Skar:Maximum bad everything!
Landon Skar:Done.
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.Liatai:There's your delay. :3 What do you do?
Thomas Lazarus:With a lack of better present options thanks to heavy armor and congested enemies, Thomas advances and holds the line.
Ghostwish:Suddenly, in another universe, a completely nondescript man jerks as if someone had just whapped him in the back of the head with a stick.
Ghostwish:John Doe: What the f-
TMG:Stick with yer staff, Landon. :B
Dr. Hatari:Afk a bit, checking porkchops~
Ghostwish:What strange irony is this? I'm having porkchops too. XD
Edaric:The other bard moves forward, drawing his own rapier.
Liatai:Minecraftmind. :o
Aelian has received initiative.Liatai:Ghost? Care to pull yourself from your porkchops for just a bit? :3
Ghostwish:sorry XD
Aelian:Aelian draws back his longbow, and lets fly « 1d20+10 = 17 + 10 = 27 » for « 1d8+1 = 5 + 1 = 6 » damage!
Liatai:« 1d100 = 85 »
Aelian:Dance to THAT, skelter!
Skelter:The arrow itself passes through, but the slight magical glow the bow granted to its missile seared a small hole in the mass of living shadow!
Flint Carthan has received initiative.Cadamon Gardner:"Well done."
Liatai:Meany?
Dr. Hatari:Nat 20 on cook: porkchops! =3=
Liatai::D
Sszeyl: (( Back. ))
Liatai:That would be a double move, due to the table in the way.
Flint Carthan:Free action, dagger to teeth.
Flint Carthan:Drawing holy water as part of move.
Smoke:Ooh, cool move, master! :D I've taught you well!
Flint Carthan:« 1d20+7 = 9 + 7 = 16 » Ranged touch attack.
TMG:....I'm sure that isn't legal but it's cool enough that even i won't complain. xD
Liatai:On who?
Flint Carthan:Skelter.
Liatai:« 1d100 = 48 »
TMG:(the free action holtering the dagger with mah TEETH, that is)
TMG:*holstering
Dr. Hatari:Passing is a free action, so I'd say so. You would need a rule to say there is some meta-force-field around your mouth repulsing items out of it to maintain the status quo.
Skelter:The holy water whiffs through Skelter, but does hiss around the ground near Mr. Johnston's boots.
Flint Carthan:Done. =3=
Smoke:Wait for me! >:D
Elros has received initiative.Thomas Lazarus:Hey guys. Negating my relevance as your tank again, I see. It's cool. It's cool. =3=
Faerie:Ah, sorry.
Elros:Elros hmms. Would probably be a bad idea to run up next to Skelter, yeah?
Flint Carthan:That right there is a favored enemy heading in the direction of a door. :|
Meany:Locked door.
Meany:But that's meta.
Meany:And it probably has an owlbear skeleton behind it.
Meany::B
Mr. Johnston:You don't think a man in my position has keys? =3=
Faerie:Hmm...
Faerie:Actually, how bad an idea /would/ it be to run into 20,-30 ?
Meany:I think it'll cost you precious actions to draw it.
Meany::B
Liatai:Couldn't say.
Meany:Horrible.
Meany:Touch range of an str-draining foe.
Meany:And deatharmor.
Dr. Hatari:Since there's only one shadow and you have a magic weapon? Not the worst idea we've ever acted on.
Meany::Y
Dr. Hatari:Says Meany. O_o (:P)
Faerie:...oh yeah, my sword is +2. Does that negate the bit about melee not working?
Meany:My guy's attacking with furniture.
Meany:With reach.
Meany:Your argument is invalid.
Dr. Hatari:Your penalty to hit versus his AC will make it literally impossible to connect outside of a 20, and shades are immune.
Liatai:What bit? :.
Dr. Hatari:Your argument is invalid. :P
Elros:Well, under the 'it's a bad idea to provoke shadows' theory, Elros sheathes his sword, and draws his bow. And that...takes a full action, so end turn?
Liatai:You can drop the sword, draw the bow, and shoot.
Liatai:But then the sword will be on the floor. :3
Elros:Eh, sure, why not. Sword on floor and « 1d20+8 = 13 + 8 = 21 » for « 1d8+3 = 6 + 3 = 9 »
Meany:Urp.
Mr. Johnston:The arrow looks like it's going to hit, but seems to veer slightly off at the last second.
Meany:One sec, restarting comp.
Sszeyl has received initiative.TMG:(don't forget to pick up your sword later)
Meany:One sec.
Dr. Hatari:Can you act first, quickly? ^^;
Liatai:Okay, your turn will be here when you get back.
Liatai:Or that. :3
Meany:Five foot step.
TMG:(the price of taking a free action to drop something in your hands is that if any DM is good about it, if you forget to pick it up later, you'll find you don't have it ;) )
TMG:(don't forget to pick up your sword later)
TMG:erp
TMG:accidentaly extra post of that earlier line.
Meany:Done.
Meany:Brb.
Liatai:Oh, double move. I see.
Meany:...
Meany:Friggernaffy.
Meany:I just now remember I have 40 movement.
Meany:=3=
Meany is disconnected.
Dr. Hatari:o_o
* Mr. Johnston turns slightly to face Sszeyl -- Will save while Meany's away. « 1d20+6 = 16 + 6 = 22 »
TMG:he DC"d from irc too
TMG:must have had a net hiccup
Dr. Hatari:He said he needed to reboot.
TMG:oh, right
Mr. Johnston:"Clever drow." He sneers... then moves south!
Mr. Johnston:Move action to open the door...
Dr. Hatari:Does all that business provoke from our Drow?
Liatai:I believe it does, come to think of it.
TMG:...knowing Meany.
TMG:He'd grapple. :B
TMG:...but perhaps we should wait for his return.
Dr. Hatari:Can we make not-deliberately-bad decisions with his bot? =3=
TMG:Exactly what he does with his AoO is rather critical. ^^;
Liatai:That and he doesn't have a link to his sheet on his token. ^^;;;;;
* Dr. Hatari buries head in desk.
Liatai:... but macros galore.
TMG:Okay, okay, GM's call here. ^^;
Liatai:Including... what are these, songs? x3
Sszeyl:« 1d20+6+mod = 3 + 6 + 0 = 9 » Drow strike! « 1d8+3 = 5 + 3 = 8 » Magical damage.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.Gnogglebolt:"Not good!"
Gnogglebolt:Double-move, end turn. Nothing more to do.
TMG:wait
TMG:OH
Skelter:« 1d20+3 = 16 + 3 = 19 » readied attack on the gnome! The mass of shadow reaches for you...
TMG:waitwait!
TMG:reverting!
Dr. Hatari:Smart. |3
Liatai::\
TMG:I completely misidentified the tokesn, and didn't realize whop was where. ^^;
TMG:....ghaaaa. Typo demons today.
Liatai:This rescinding is getting a little excessive. ^^; But okay. Move as you will.
TMG:I thought Johnston had run through the -east- door, and was gone already.
TMG:And didn't realize the shadow was still there. :B
Liatai:Just move. :B
Gnogglebolt:Same song, different verse. Already moved 20 feet, chucking holy water. « 1d20+6-2 = 18 + 6 - 2 = 22 »
Gnogglebolt::.
Liatai:« 1d100 = 14 »
Gnogglebolt:« 2d4 = 6 » holy water damage on Johnston!
Liatai:Ohhhh.
Liatai:People, please start declaring your targets? x3
TMG:Sorry. ^^;
TMG:End turn.
Mr. Johnston:The bottle smashes against his back. "-- khsss! I knew I should have worn the stained one today..."
* Cadamon Gardner advances, drawing a mace and slipping a shield onto his arm as he moves.
Meany has connected.
TMG:Welcome back. Whispering what you missed.
Tathi has received initiative.Dr. Hatari:Afk for oven~
Tathi:Tathi shoots off a series of dazzling bolts, each one zipping through the air shaped and flying like autumn leaves into Skelter! « 1d4+1+1d4+1+1d4+1 = 2 + 1 + 4 + 1 + 4 + 1 = 13 »!
Skelter:POFF! The shadow vanishes with a cross between a puff and a pop.
Calrach has received initiative.Meany:Sorry for lack of sheet. D:
Meany:I thought the macros would make that redundant.
* Liatai pokes Tech.
Liatai:You forget I am la macro Luddite. :P
Meany:? :o
Thomas Lazarus:Come oooonnn bard song, come ooonnn bard song... :o *gambler chant*
Liatai:La? What is the French feminine pronoun? :B
* Liatai doesn't use macros, Meany. =3=;
TMG:whut?
TMG:OH!
TMG:Calrach is up. Sorry again!
Dr. Hatari:Looney Toons taught me they are all Le. |B
Meany:Il.
Meany:il
Meany:For clarity.
Calrach:Calrach moves forward, and makes like a Gnogglebolt.
Meany:=3=
Thomas Lazarus:Baaawww. D:
Meany:Waitno.
Meany:Misread the site.
Liatai:Bardsong is already in effect, Tom.
Meany:il is masculine.
Meany:elle is feminine.
TMG:oh yeah, I forgot bardsong :o
TMG:Oh well
Dr. Hatari:I must have totally missed it!
Liatai:Calrach started it last turn. :3
* Dr. Hatari notes.
Dr. Hatari:I was probably collecting 'chops.
Calrach:Holy water toss! « 1d20+6+1-4 = 7 + 6 + 1 - 4 = 10 » on Johnston!
TMG:...Too much to assume he has a TOUCH AC of 10 or less? ^^;
TMG:...
TMG:why did that go in all caps. o.o
Mr. Johnston:Yep. Ker-dodge. I'm an undead with an Int score, you see; I can learn from previous tactics used against me. :P
Landon Skar has received initiative.Landon Skar:Drat. Table in the way.
Liatai:Oop.
Liatai:Speed.
Liatai:Landon's speed is 20.
Dr. Hatari:Ohh, right. =3=;
Landon Skar:Landon not so swiftly moves to intercept!
Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.Meany:Parents went to the movies today.
Meany:Brought back jumbo popcorn.
* Meany licks fingers. |U
Liatai:Yummmmm. :9
Liatai:Ooh, popcorn. :o We have some.
Liatai:Popping some in the microwave.
Liatai:No pun intended.
Meany:=3=
* Thomas Lazarus sloughs off his shield and glowers slightly. A faint flicker of blue energy manifests over his shoulderline just prior to a thundering charge! (Domain power used; « 1d20+13+2+1 = 14 + 13 + 2 + 1 = 30 » « 1d10+11+1 = 8 + 11 + 1 = 20 »

Thomas Lazarus:That is quite a sword stroke.
Liatai:DANG!
Mr. Johnston:Yes it is. o.o;
* Meany cheers with pompoms.
Meany:Go Tom~
Meany::D
Mr. Johnston:The ghoul claps a hand to his side to keep it from falling off. D:
Edaric:Ehn! >:|
Liatai:... oh waaaaaait. >:3
Liatai:« 1d4+2 = 4 + 2 = 6 »
Liatai:And Tom, roll a Fort save after that 6 damage.
Liatai:I mean, Will. D:
Liatai:Will save.
Thomas Lazarus:"!" Fort or Will or whatever. « 1d20+7 = 1 + 7 = 8 »
Thomas Lazarus:D:
Mr. Johnston:This should probably feel familiar. Charging for an escaping opponent with necromantic powers... the creeping sense of dread... you can almost hear the chandelier clinking... D:
Mr. Johnston:You are now shaken.
Thomas Lazarus:"..Pff..!" Thomas flinches and huffs through his teeth as his resolve caves somewhat. He's still in the fight, though!
Meany:Ahem.
* Edaric draws a crossbow and fires! « 1d20+5 = 5 + 5 = 10 » « 1d8 = 1 »
Meany:Can Thomas see that ooze?
Meany::o
Pile of Bright Orange Jelly:« 1d20-5 = 6 - 5 = 1 » =3=
Thomas Lazarus: (( He can now that I scrolled the screen and noticed it. =3= ))
Pile of Dull Orange Jelly:« 1d20-5 = 4 - 5 = -1 » =3=
Meany:Dull Orange declares it's presence.
Dr. Hatari:Collectin' chops~
Meany:With pom-poms.
Pile of Bright Orange Jelly:Blorp.
TMG:Aww. Not that it would have helped, but Thomas would have gotten +1 moreale bonus vs fear from bardson.
Pile of Dull Orange Jelly:Blorp.
Aelian has received initiative.TMG:One of the few times where that ACTUALLY would have applied. xD
Aelian:Aelian draws back his longbow, and lets fly at Johnston! « 1d20+10 = 7 + 10 = 17 » for « 1d8+1 = 5 + 1 = 6 » damage!
Flint Carthan:"What the great honking weregeese are those things? =3='
Mr. Johnston:Whiff!
Flint Carthan has received initiative.Smoke:Great... honking... weregeese? Master, are you okay? =3=;
Flint Carthan:« 1d20+6 = 3 + 6 = 9 » Knowledge Dungeoneering.
Flint Carthan:Nupe.
Flint Carthan:Free action, moving dagger back to hand.
Flint Carthan:'ello, bea'iful.
Faerie:I am here!
Mr. Johnston:I'm sorry, I don't swing that way -- please go away. D:
Faerie:No need to ping me when my turn happens!
Faerie:>.>
Liatai:Okay, Fae. x3
Flint Carthan: (( Hmm. ))
Flint Carthan: (( Offhand attacks are -5, yes? ))
Liatai:Flint has Two-Weapon Fighting.
Liatai:See sheet, Rapier-Dagger Combo.
Flint Carthan: (( So can make three attacks at -5? ))
Flint Carthan:Aha.
Flint Carthan:« 1d20+4 = 8 + 4 = 12 » « 1d20+4 = 5 + 4 = 9 » Swish swish. =3=
Mr. Johnston:Whiff whiff. =3=
Elros has received initiative.Dr. Hatari:Presumably just two attacks at the listed (-2) penalty, or one attack after more than a 5 foot move.
Liatai:Ah, that's right, he moved.
Liatai:Ah well. No difference. Still no hit. :B
Dr. Hatari:It matters little. :B
Elros:Elros fires off another bolt at Johnston. « 1d20+8 = 8 + 8 = 16 » for « 1d8+3 = 4 + 3 = 7 ». And if there's time after that, he picks up his sword off the floor as well, and sheathes it.
Elros:That doesn't take into account firing into melee penalty, and presumably misses anyway.
Sszeyl has received initiative.Sszeyl:"...Huge, gelatinous mass."
Sszeyl:"Three of them."
Sszeyl:"Tathi~"
Sszeyl:"Help!"
Pile of Medium Orange Jelly:« 1d20-5 = 18 - 5 = 13 » =3=

Sszeyl: (( Which weapon should I draw as part of the move. ))
Sszeyl: (( Nunchucks, three section staff, or butterfly swords. ))
Sszeyl: (( Ohwait. ))
Dr. Hatari:What are you, Hyuuint? Pick for yourself. :B
Sszeyl: (( He's undead. ))
Sszeyl: (( Slashing weapons. ))
Sszeyl:Tessen power~
Sszeyl:« 1d20+2+mod = 17 + 2 + 1 = 20 » Fan slash! « 1d6+3 = 4 + 3 = 7 » damage!
Mr. Johnston:The fan swishes right by the butler's ear.
Sszeyl: (( Done. ))
Sszeyl: (( ... ))
Sszeyl: (( Why...didn't I double move, ))
Sszeyl: (( And use the second. ))
Sszeyl: (( To close the damn door. ))
Sszeyl: (( =3=; ))
TMG:The world may never know. :B
* Mr. Johnston growls. "So, this is how it goes..." The black flames suddenly grow larger, exploding outward! Tom, Sszeyl, Flint, roll Will versus DC 18 for half of « 6d4 = 12 » damage!
Thomas Lazarus:"Tch!" « 1d20+7 = 1 + 7 = 8 »
Sszeyl: (( Does Spell resistence apply? ))
* Thomas Lazarus isn't very willful today.
Liatai:And an AoO from Sszeyl.
Sszeyl:« 1d20+6+mod = 19 + 6 + 1 = 26 » Drow strike! « 1d8+3 = 2 + 3 = 5 » Magical damage.
Liatai:I don't believe so, let me check.
* Sszeyl lashes out with a kick. =3=
Liatai:Nope, no SR.
Sszeyl: (( Damn. ))
Sszeyl:« 1d20+6 = 2 + 6 = 8 » Will save!
Thomas Lazarus:Don't forget that Sszeyl takes only 6 damage. Thomas, on the other hand, joins your HP level. =3=;
Flint Carthan:« 1d20+3 = 18 + 3 = 21 »
* Flint Carthan grits his teeth and sloughs off the negative energy.
Mr. Johnston:The kick lands solidly, and the ghoul falls, rapier clattering to the ground.
Mr. Johnston:He is still for a moment... before turning to you with a grin, the black flames licking at his flesh, burning it away. "Congratulations."
Sszeyl: (( Forgot about flint. =3= ))
Sszeyl: (( Also, AoO connect, or disconnect? ))
Mr. Johnston:"You've just released every servant in this house from their bindings. They will all be hunting for you. The lady now knows exactly where you are and what you've done."
Dr. Hatari:... U laggin? :21
Gnogglebolt:A loud collection of multi-ligual curses is heard, along with "span>
Gnogglebolt:A loud collection of multi-ligual curses is heard, along with "I knew it!"
Gnogglebolt:*lingual
Mr. Johnston:"And you've ruined the roast..." The ghoul cackles before burning away in a puff of black flame into a well-dressed skeleton.
Thomas Lazarus:"So we won't be having you play patronizing host to us anymore? Good. It changes nothing." He remarks in a condemning tone.
Gnogglebolt has received initiative.TMG:...oh, he's dead?
Pile of Bright Orange Jelly:Blorp.
TMG:...right.
Dr. Hatari:Yes, I believe that was the point. He was the dread necromancer binding the servants, not Pamela.
Liatai:Hatari has it. :3
Sszeyl: (( What does this change? ))
Gnogglebolt:Still spitting words in languages the other guys don't know, Gnogglebolt rushes forward, double-move, drawing his blunderbuss as he sees the jellies.
Meany:For the love of geebus.
Gnogglebolt:end turn.
Dr. Hatari:Considering we were clearing them? It means they'll act when we see them instead of just giving us the initiative. Not much else. :P
Cadamon Gardner:Clank clank clank D:
Tathi has received initiative.Meany:Someone roll a knowledge check on these things.
Meany:=3=;;
Tathi:Applicable knowledge? :>
Dr. Hatari:I don't want to entertain the wrong belief that we could have avoided that fate in any way, and go about beating ourselves up over it for the next several sessions. :B
Liatai:Dungeoneering, I believe.
Tathi:« 1d20+6 = 1 + 6 = 7 » knowledge dungeoneering!
Tathi:NOPE.
Meany is disconnected.
Meany is disconnected.
Pile of Bright Orange Jelly:It could be a jello pudding for all you know. =3=
Tathi:PEW PEW! Here comes some magic missiles at the pile of orange pudding!! « 2d4+2 = 5 + 2 = 7 » damage!
TMG:the "they know exactly where we are and all are about to fall upon us at once" was the part I was trying to avoid, though. :B
Meany has connected.
Pile of Bright Orange Jelly:A spray of orange gelatin spurts of out the jelly. =3=
Dr. Hatari:The plan was to move through the basement to a tower. Good luck with getting the 12 of us through that otherwise. Like I said. Enough with the pretense of stealth. It's just self-flagellation. ^^;
Calrach has received initiative.Liatai:Calrach's turn!
TMG:let's see...
TMG:Question.
TMG:How tall is the ceiling?
Flint Carthan:"Will someone just grab that ghoul corpse and close the damn door?!" >:O
TMG:...Oh. ^^;
Cadamon Gardner:"Language, Carthan."
Sszeyl:"Don't forget the sword."
Calrach:Calrach rushes over...and with seemingly more strength than a little man should have, grabs the corpse and quickly yanks it back through the doorway.
* Flint Carthan looks at Cadamon quizzically.
Calrach:But I don't suppose he can get the door, too. End turn.
* Cadamon Gardner looks back. "They're oozes. They're not exactly sprinters." ^^;;;
Sszeyl: (( What of the sword? :o ))
Pile of Medium Orange Jelly:=3=
Liatai:Assume the sword was grabbed.
Thomas Lazarus:"(Not that I would've, but we're not allowed to swear..?) ^^;;" whispered to Flint.
* Thomas Lazarus actually seems amused. Despite the negative energy burns. Ow.
Flint Carthan:"(We're allowed to swear however much the hell we want, Cadamon's just being Cadamon,)" the inquisitor whispers back. :P
Landon Skar has received initiative.Landon Skar:"Pardon." Landon mutters in a bit of a monotone while squeezing by, leaning through the doorway, and pulling it shut.
Pile of Bright Orange Jelly:=3=;;;;;;
GM:Combat over!
Dr. Hatari:x3 !
Tathi:Tathi smirks. "Ah, unintelligent foes. So easily defeated."
Pile of Bright Orange Jelly:But -- =3=;;;
Calrach:"Well. I'll say things are about to get a lot more... interesting in here."
Elros:Elros puts his bow away, and goes to join the others.
Pile of Bright Orange Jelly:Blorp. =3=;;;;
Tathi:"Of course, there's no gaurentee that it won't just eat through the door.."
Calrach:Calrach grins back and nods to Tathi. "Best way to win a battle is by not fighting one at all."
Pile of Bright Orange Jelly:Blorp! >:D
* Thomas Lazarus draws out his wand of healing, and goes on a mad tapping spree. The Humanity! « 2d8+2 = 11 + 2 = 13 » self, « 2d8+2 = 12 + 2 = 14 » Drow!
Edaric:" -- Let's pull away from the door just in case." ^^;;;
Tathi:At least he's not RAINBOW TASING
Tathi:"A wise idea."
* Cadamon Gardner moves over and taps Flint. « 1d8+1 = 8 + 1 = 9 »
Thomas Lazarus:Let's try that again. « 2d8+2 = 5 + 2 = 7 » self!
Thomas Lazarus:=3= «
1d8+1 = 8 + 1 = 9 »
Flint Carthan:"... It was a scratch." >.>;
Cadamon Gardner:"You say that every time."
Flint Carthan:>.>;
* Landon Skar drags the ghoulcorpse to the table.
Calrach:"So...what is your guys' most immediate objective?"
Thomas Lazarus:"'Twould be more convincing if we hadn't chased you out of trees before, brother."
Tathi:"So, do we want to wait for the ooze to break through, or continue on?"
Landon Skar:"Keys."
Gnogglebolt:"I don't know, but I'd like to start climbing out of here and find Pamela before she flies away, -again-..."
* Sszeyl inspects the sword. =3=
* Landon Skar holds up a keyring.
Thomas Lazarus:"I've little interest in attacking creatures of that nature. Let's try a different route, shall we? That east door looks promising."
* Thomas Lazarus glances to Calrach. "And yes. The 'Lady' herself, of course."
* Flint Carthan looks quizzically at Thomas.
Flint Carthan:"What 'nature?'"
Sszeyl:"Also."
Sszeyl:"We have two more secret doors to inspect."
* Thomas Lazarus looks to Flint. "Slimes, I meant. They're ... natural ... ah ... aren't they?" He blinks a bit.
Flint Carthan:"Ah." Flint nods.
Thomas Lazarus:"(Come to think of it, now I'm not sure at all. =3=;)"
Elros:"Does nature produce anything of...that kind?"
Landon Skar:Am I the only one looting the butler? =3=;
Tathi:Let's find out.
Tathi:« 1d20+6 = 19 + 6 = 25 » Knowledge, nature!
Liatai:Dungeoneerng, Tathi. :P
Tathi:"Nope, they're not natural." Gotcha. :3
Liatai:Though you may recall tales of slime molds? :3
* Landon Skar continues to lay out the ghoul's equipment for perusal and future use.
Thomas Lazarus:... ... ... ... "!" =3=;
* Thomas Lazarus joins Landon. You'll never tell a soul I just now paid attention. Off the hook!
* Sszeyl snagged the sword.
* Sszeyl is inspecting it.
Calrach:Calrach curiously peeks at the ghoul and his gear.
Aelian:"Bastard dodged my arrows.." Aelian mutters, and then goes to see if he can recover said arrows.. from the pie and wherever the heck the others landed.
Mr. Johnston:A Heward's Handy Haversack (2000 GP) containing a number of tools, an old silver pocketwatch, a broom, a mop, five jugs of water, pruning shears, a ring of keys, ten vials of incindigas, a book of court and table etiquette, a half-empty bottle of -- well you HOPE it's red wine, a neatly-wrapped hunk of lightly seared meat, and a bloodstained plate and silverware set. Also, his sword, chain shirt, and a plain silver ring with a small swirl to the metal.
Liatai:The sword is well-balanced, and rather elegant. A courtly weapon.
Tathi:"Well, what does the group think? Should I inspect it for magic now, or save it until later?"
Dr. Hatari:Recorded.
Liatai:... I'm surprised Gnogglebolt hasnt said anything yet. ;3
Thomas Lazarus:"Later. We're on a timeline."
Aelian:Pity, because now Aelian is toying around with the pocketwatch.
* Thomas Lazarus takes up the keyring and inspects it briefly.
Calrach:Calrach sees a pack of vials...with an odd oily substance with a slight orange tint to them.
Calrach:"...Gnogglebolt, you're Mazian, right? You might want to look at this..."
Thomas Lazarus:He goes through the tedious process of matching blind keys to the locked door.
Gnogglebolt:Meanwhile, the gnome who has been pointedly ignoring getting close to the undead thing, finally walks over.
Ghostwish:most assinine DM ever: all the keys are trapped. :>
Gnogglebolt:He instantly recognizes the vials. "Incidnigas?!"
Dr. Hatari:How do you.. XD
Gnogglebolt:He scoops them all up and holds them in his hands, as if he can't believe his eyes.
Elros:"...incendigas?"
Gnogglebolt:"How...where did he get this?"
Ghostwish:Simple, touch spell set to go off every time the key is inserted in a lock. :P
Gnogglebolt:He also notices the silver biscuit-sized thing. "!"
Aelian:Aelian jumps a little when Gnogglebolt recognizes the vials. "They're going to explode, aren't they?"
Gnogglebolt:"And a pocketwatch!"
GM:How many keys did that guy have, seriously?
Gnogglebolt:"Was this guy Mazian in life, or something?"
Dr. Hatari:x3 !
Tokens dropped onto map 'Castle Osyluth - B1'John Doe:"127."
Tathi:"He's a bit tall for that.."
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks over to Aelian. "Oh, goodness no. Not unless you dumped them onto a fire."
* Thomas Lazarus looks only slightly flustered as he goes through what are quite possibly keys to every door in the castle trying to find the one that fits this lock. =3=;
* Cadamon Gardner clears his throat.
Cadamon Gardner:"There will be time for speculation as we move."
Gnogglebolt:"Right."
Cadamon Gardner:"... any luck yet, Thomas?" ^^;
Thomas Lazarus:Luck roll. D: « 1d20 = 1 »
Elros:lol, no.
Thomas Lazarus:"I think I.. turned the ring once." =3=;;;;
Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt takes the pocketwatch and indindigas for safekeeping, for now. He'll probably keep the incindigas for good, but maybe one of these other farmer-time Kellonites would appreciate knowing true timekeeping capability...
Aelian:Hey. >:|
* Thomas Lazarus sighs, and lowers his head after a moment. "..."
Thomas Lazarus:"Brother Flint?"
Aelian:Aelian has the pocketwatch, thanks. :3
Flint Carthan:"On it." The witch-hunter already has his picks out. =3=
* Thomas Lazarus mutters, "I can't believe we're left to picking a door we have the keys for."
TMG:oh, Aleian took the pocketwatch already? Mkay.
Flint Carthan:« 1d20+7 = 8 + 7 = 15 »
Flint Carthan:« 1d20+7 = 5 + 7 = 12 »
Thomas Lazarus: (( Gnogglebolt has one. xD ))
Flint Carthan:... taking twenty. =3=;
Aelian:And Aelian, being lawful, has a taste for things that tell time so accurately. :>
Edaric:Sure.
Dr. Hatari:Wait a minute.
* Dr. Hatari glances at map.
Dr. Hatari:... Was this the dreaded 1 minute route to the 1st floor? :b
Edaric:Mister lost-track-of-time-while-sitting-in-the-woods-every-day. =3=
Liatai:Yes and no.
Aelian:Well now I won't lose track now will I? Nyeh!
Liatai:You missed the direct route and took one extra room. :P
TMG:there, ah, are three other hidden doors back there we didn't check.
Ghostwish:.. let's explore the rest.
TMG:But unfortunately. There is no IC justification for going back to them. ^^;
Tathi:"I suddenly have a very dreadful feeling about advancing forward when a possible host of undead behind us.."
Liatai:Lucky I made the first floor last night, huh? :P
TMG:Our target is Pamela, and she already up and flew away from us once when we dragged our feet...
Dr. Hatari:It seems a little silly to blow our spells out the window attacking more now-hostile monsters when we know our goal is up the stairs, though. :P
TMG:^ That.
Meany:Priorities.
Meany:The puppetmaster.
Meany:Then the puppets.
Meany:=3=
Ghostwish:how were we dragging our feet when we were fighting her? XD
TMG:From a meta standpoint, exploring the stuff seems nice
TMG:but there is -absolutely- no reason for us to literally turn around from the direction of our objective, which is time-sensitive.
* Sszeyl keeps the sword.
Dr. Hatari:We can do the castle proper after Pamela is secured.
Flint Carthan:"Stairs."
TMG:And that.
Sszeyl whispers: Masterwork, +1, or mundande?
You whisper to Meany: +1.
Elros:"Perhaps we can explore -after- Pamela is defeated, then."
TMG:We were planning to cleanse the castle afterward, if I recall.
Thomas Lazarus:"Hup." >:|
TMG:...or maybe that was just me. And Hatari thought it wasn't our job. :B
* Thomas Lazarus ascends el stairs.
Edaric:"Wait up!" D:
Thomas Lazarus:Now that we understand that the castle has a (probably living) heir, that changes matters.
* Teeny Rin leads the charge! >:9
Thomas Lazarus:He just wasn't going to go scrubbing it with holy water on the basis that it was a good dungeon and other monsters might "move in". :P
TMG:wait, it does have a possibibly living heir? Refresh me on this later.
Dr. Hatari:The late lord had a son by his wife before Pamela.
Modifying the fog-of-war manually without a server running affects only the global exposed area (i.e. the entire map), even
if one or more tokens are selected. If you want your changes to apply to individual tokens, start a MapTool server with
Individual Fog enabled (you can leave the Alias field empty to make an anonymous server, if you wish).
This warning will not appear again for this campaign.
Dr. Hatari:That's about the size of it.
TMG:ohh, that
Dr. Hatari:Remains to be seen if said son was living here or away.
Meany:Watch he be the smithy.
Meany:That we just left behind.
Meany::B
Hakutaku:Your Rin has become a -- Hakutaku!
Dr. Hatari::o
Hakutaku:Because the DM is a derp and accidentally cleared some fog with Rin and can't get the fog to reset itself for Rin. =3=;
Calrach has received initiative.Calrach has received initiative.Calrach has received initiative.TMG:Calrach: All Ur Init R Blong 2 Me? :U
Tathi:"Lovely. More doors. Get cracking with those keys, Thomas. We don't want to be here all day." She says with a smirk.
GM:Let's all go to the first floor~!
* Thomas Lazarus folds his arms and sighs. "I'm liable to make like Tomi and use my sword as a 'dwarven lockpick'."
Kor:Someone needs biting!?
Dr. Hatari:Oop.
Dr. Hatari:Auto Tom for a couple minutes. Changing for work. Be back in a few.
Gnogglebolt:"No, I've seen actual dwarven lockpicks in use before."
Gnogglebolt:"They tend to by cylindrical. And have a very unpleasant effect on the door, and in fact, anything within a 10-foot radius."
Gnogglebolt:*to be
Liatai:Just to check, no one's tokens are lost, are they?
Ghostwish:all acounted for.
Ghostwish:WAIT.
Ghostwish:WHERE'S DORF!?
* Ghostwish panic.
GM:Actually, I should ask. Fatigue check?
GM:Some of you have been gaming all day. ^^;
Meany:I'm good.
TMG:I could continue, but I'm fine stopping here, too. Either way's good.
Faerie:I have some homework I need to do. >.>;
Ghostwish:Hatari's getting ready to jet, so I'm fine with stopping here, and yes, I'm feeling the all day game lag. ^_^; can't even concentrate on the artificer anymore..
GM:All right. Let's get noms sorted, then save. :3
Ghostwish:Nomming Thomas for DAMN KEYS.:P\
Ghostwish:Nomming Flint for Lemme just pick the door Tom.
Ghostwish:Nomming Landon for Get the Elf Drunk, She'll Open the Door.
Meany:...I can't think of anything.
Meany:=3=
GM:400 XP to all for defeating Johnston, before I forget.
Ghostwish:Nomming Sszeyl for TABLE, RETURN OF THE PEW.
Ghostwish:and my brain starts fogging up.. help me out here. XD
TMG:reading back....
Ghostwish:OH! Nomming Edaric for Letter Home. :>
Edaric:I finally get a nom! Woo! :D
TMG:...looks like the liion's share of PC RP goes to Thomas today. ^^; the only nom I can think of is another one for him.
Ghostwish:Tathi did little but sling spells today. XP
Meany:Cadamon for one shot Helter.
Meany:Aelian for one-two punch with Tathi.
Ghostwish:OH. Also nomming Landon for Loot Priorities. XD
Meany:"You missed? I'll get him."
TMG:of course, this actually shouldn't be surprising.
TMG:We are moving into series of combat-heavy segments.
TMG:RP, while not eliminated entirely, is going to be downplayed.
TMG:So this is probably acceptable.
Ghostwish:*switching gears from role-play to roll-play*
TMG:whup, quickly jotting down EXP...
Dr. Hatari:I'll nom Cadamon for focus and leadership. :.
Liatai:You'd be surprised, regarding roleplay.
Dr. Hatari:We could use him full-time. D:
Liatai:If you'd lengthened your talk with Mr. Johnston, you could have gotten a whole mess of information about the castle ahead. :P
Faerie:Derp. >.>
Ghostwish:Knew it. XP
TMG:Gasp! A time where dumping Gnogglebolt in front would have been the -better- option? :O
Meany:Too bad.
Faerie:What was the line, ah..."Those who carry clubs tend not to be known for their conversational skills?"
Ghostwish:diplom- no. :P
TMG:(Or Calrach. He's the actual one with +10 diplomacy.)
Dr. Hatari:..Thomas just didn't want to face the fact that his enemy, one he was duty-bound to slay, was just.. a nice and affable person.
Meany:Noms held till end of dungeon?
Dr. Hatari:So he pushed for violence. The easy way out.
Liatai:I'm also surprised no one investigated the stove. ;3
TMG:Hmm. I did note that Thomas seemed to be going for slight zeal at that moment.
Dr. Hatari:We definitely won't remember the noms by the end. ^^;
Liatai:Johnston wasn't as nice as he seemed. Since the evidence will be burned to a crisp, probably, when you get back, I don't mind giving this bit of description. x3
Ghostwish:The roast.
Dr. Hatari:He pushed himself into it. He was feeling pangs of guilt and self-consciousness just facing the prospect of striking down skeletal maids. He didn't want to contemplate the moral ramifications of assaulting a completely non-combative, cooperative butler. Whose psuedo-life didn't even interfere with the affairs of the living, no less. (Of course, combat revealed his true character. But it was the principle.)
GM:When you open the door, an absolutely delicious aroma reaches your nose. A roast is stewing in its own juices nicely in the Mazian oven... though it might not seem so appetizing with a Heal check or Knowledge Nature or Local. That's definitely a section of humanoid femur...
Ghostwish:knew it. :>
Ghostwish:and a mazian oven!?!? Tech, I think youz got prisoners to rescue. :>
Liatai:No one noticed the two ovens? XD
Dr. Hatari:Maybe they just imported. It's a castle. :B
Gnogglebolt:D: D: D:
Liatai:Aw. :B
Dr. Hatari:Nice things should be no shocker.
Liatai:Alas~
GM:All right, any more noms?
Thomas Lazarus:FOUL, CANNIBALISTIC TECHNOLOGY. =3= *BASH BASH BASH*
Thomas Lazarus:Dwarven lockpick test. =3= « 1d10+6+8 = 7 + 6 + 8 = 21 »
GM:Thomas - 100 XP - It'd be easier to bash the door than deal with these damn keys. =3=;
GM:Flint - 100 XP - Substitute Rogue.
GM:Landon - 100 XP - ... oh drunk spellcaster....? :P
Ghostwish:*snrk*
Thomas Lazarus:12 seconds. I could open the doors in 12 seconds! TECHNOLOGY!! =3= (Thomas: 0, Science: 2)
GM:Edaric - 100 XP - Letter Home.
GM:Tathi/Aelian - 100 XP - One-Two Punch.
Gnogglebolt:Just wait until I actually start making my breaching charges. ;>
Tathi:D:
Aelian:D:
Thomas Lazarus:6 SECONDS NEXT LEVEL! >:O
Ghostwish:19315 exp total. :>
GM:Cadamon - actually doesn't get a nom. He was doing his job. :P
Cadamon Gardner:>:
GM:Oh fine. :P
Ghostwish:Awww. We still wuv you.
Cadamon Gardner::D
Thomas Lazarus:Rassa-frickin.. mutter mutter shoulda brought Anise. =3=
GM:Anything more?
TMG:not that I can think of. :.
Dr. Hatari:Hmmm..
Dr. Hatari:Oh!
Dr. Hatari:Cadamon for ruler thwapper. (NO SWEARIN'.) *schoolkid sized Thomases and Flints sit behind desks with huffy looks =3=*
Liatai:XD
Cadamon Gardner:I just didn't think the situation merited that language. They're oozes. ^^;;;;
Ghostwish:*Pan to the playground. It's on fire. Tathi was there.*
Dr. Hatari:We should write that idea down.
Dr. Hatari:Mini-session idea; party as kindergardeners. =3=;
Liatai:XD
Meany::P
Tathi:Except I would still be an adult.... oh gods I'm going to be carroled into being the teacher's aide, aren't I?
Liatai:... >.>
Liatai:Actually...
Liatai:.... dare I say it? x3
Ghostwish:DARED.
Thomas Lazarus:"TEACHER TEACHER TEACHER! I'M TATTLING ON AELIAN!"
Thomas Lazarus:"HE SUCKS! >:O"
Faerie:I double-dog-dare you to say it! :O
Liatai:... if Thomas was a kindergardener Cadamon wouldn't even be old enough for school yet. :B
Dr. Hatari:I do sometimes forget the twins are 28. I.. really should think of a better token image for their mother than Astrid. She would need to be atleast in her 50's, maybe 60's. =3=;
Dr. Hatari:But work is nigh.
Liatai:All right. Campaign saved, server may be shut down anytime, Ghost. :3
Meany is disconnected.
Ghostwish:Okiedokie!
Liatai:Thanks for double-gaming, folks!
Ghostwish is disconnected.
You have disconnected.
