Miron:"Vecna.. the god of undeath , magic and secrets. One of the Ebon Triad."

Tathi:« 1d20+8 = 15 + 8 = 23 » knowledge religion!

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Ah."

Sszeyl:No rolling for me.

Thomas Lazarus:"Well. Let's keep on. There are more rooms."

Miron:"Fuck."

Gnogglebolt:"A Vecnan priest?" Gnogglebolt makes a face. "Eugh. I've only heard vauge stories and rumors."

Sszeyl:"Hmm."

Miron:"Cole, the magic cup has been in their hands."

Edaric:"That's how they like it, they say."

Sszeyl:"Feels like I'm missing out on a party."

Tathi:"Vecna, Lord of the Unknown. His clergy always operates in secret."

Shankfang the Deffrider:That gun is next to your ear again, Thomas. 83

Thomas Lazarus:"There's not much to say. They're conspirators and black magicians."

Liatai:No one new is coming that you can see.

Gnogglebolt:"Oh, right.." Gnogglebolt notices the last door. "Okay, last door on second deck. Let's clear it."

Sszeyl:"How nice."

Swallowtail:"Is quiet." Open!

Miron:"Be careful. This spells bad trouble."

Gamal-Junayd:"So..two doors in the rear of the ship, one on this floor and one up above, as well as below. which one first?" or did we open the one up above?

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas looks about.

Thomas Lazarus:"... It's the galley. Empty."

Swallowtail:"Did not open the one above on deck.

Swallowtail:"Unlocked, but we went down below."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt freezes. "Wait, we didn't open the one up above?"

Sszeyl:"Quite."

Thomas Lazarus:"Not yet."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Ve kan check it vunce ve head back up."

Gnogglebolt:"That...was probably the captain's quarters, if this is anything like a normal ship I've been on."

Tathi:Quick, cursory search of the room..

Tathi:« 1d20+4 = 15 + 4 = 19 » search!

Aelian:« 1d20+7 = 17 + 7 = 24 » search!

Sszeyl:"Shall we continue on down?"

Liatai:You find some delicious snacks.

Thomas Lazarus:"... Probably."

Gamal-Junayd:"Lets just double check the one up here first"

Tathi:Ain't touch'n em. "No, let's check the captain's quarters now."

Gamal-Junayd:"Safest to make sure nothing might be left up here to aid and free the prisoners."

Gnogglebolt:"Let's just give a quick double-check of the captain's quarters up top now."

* Thomas Lazarus sighs. "Yeah. Now that you mention it, we should."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Hokay!"

Shankfang the Deffrider:So, who wants the gun next to their face this time? 83

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt peeks into the room.

Miron:"Indeed. Needless to say... if we find any Vecnan cultist, it is imperative we take him alive. Their ecrets could be invaluable to the Mace."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"...Looks clear."

Gnogglebolt:"Okay, empty. Good."

Dr. Hatari:Oh noes =w=;;;

Sszeyl:"Are you done?"

Dr. Hatari:Sorry Liatai

Dr. Hatari:Are you error-bombed? =w=;;

Gnogglebolt:"Now let's go to the next deck."

Liatai:Nope, I'm good.

Swallowtail:"... hmm."

Tathi:Quick search again.

Dr. Hatari:Very good.

Tathi:« 1d20+4 = 6 + 4 = 10 » search!

Aelian:« 1d20+7 = 1 + 7 = 8 » search!

Miron:« 1d20+7 = 14 + 7 = 21 » Search

Gamal-Junayd:(Search Check : « 1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18 »)

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas simply remains on deck and peers inside.

Aelian:Tathi was bent over. *^_^*

GM:You find some things in the chest aside from the navigational equipment on deck.

VAE:ahahah

GM:On the desk, I mean.

Tathi:Oh? Like?

Gamal-Junayd:Take the maps if nothing else. as wella s any logs and such

VAE:what stuff?

VAE:and Tathi finds nothing XD

GM:A courtier's outfit (30 GP), a porcelain idol of a well-dressed, dignified, and smiling man holding a purse of gold and a flail (300 GP), a bag of exotic incense (100 GP), four pounds of soap that smells like dusty sandalwood (2 GP total), and a six-ounce bag of dried cherries (3 GP).

VAE:Miron and Gamal do

VAE:hmm

Tathi:Holy -shit- dried cherries are expensive. O.O

Thomas Lazarus:Wood-smelling soap? This guy has good taste. :.

VAE:What does the man look like?

Thomas Lazarus:Petty edible loot recorded.

TMG:*smacks forehead* I should've thought to have Gnogglebolt take the maps and logs.. Good thinking, Gamal.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Oooh, cherries...

Gamal-Junayd:"Interesting..this captain likes to live in luxury"

Miron:« 1d20+8 = 13 + 8 = 21 » Local in fact... is the idol someone?

GM:Roll Religion knowledge, Miron.

Miron:« 1d20+18 = 20 + 18 = 38 » Religion

Tathi:"Well, he is a pirate captain."

Miron:Religion. I got it.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Vy are hyu surprised? It's a pirate kaptain."

GM:You know it's someone having to do with Dartane -- Holy CROW.

RAM:Crow?

Sszeyl: (( =3= ))

Sszeyl: (( Map explorer locked up. ))

RAM:I'm still good.

Miron:In the meantime, Miron is examining the statue

GM:Yeah, that's a god, all right. Specifically, Zilchus, a Tanish god of commerce. He resides over Power, Prestige, Money, Business, and Influence. His worshippers are reputed to be ruthless in matters of business, but highly scrupulous, as that flail is used to chastise the dishonest. "Zilchus teaches that the desire for power, prestige, influence, and money can be overwhelming in the world of mortals, but this desire must be tamed in one's own life so that it can be more easily exploited in others. The profit motive is viewed as something that improves the quality of all endeavors. Worshipers of Zilchus should strive to recognize the opportunities to increase their power, prestige, money, and influence and seize hold of them in order to one-up the competition. Zilchus teaches that politics and war are only aspects of trade, using words or lives as currency rather than precious metal, and should therefore be approached in the same way. One's own currency, whatever its form, should be spent more wisely than ones' rivals spend theirs." http://www.canonfire.com/wiki/index.php?title=Zilchus

GM:Reflavored slightly for Akellon, of course.

Sszeyl: (( Er, windows explorer. ))

Miron:"Zilchus.. a Tanish trader god."

TMG:ah, so you -did- use Zilchus over Xolbar

TMG:or Xerbar, or whatever he was

Miron:"If anything, he sounds like someone Barbarus would like."

GM:Barbarus would probably prefer his brother Kurell. :P

Thomas Lazarus:"Barbarus would probably love being on a lycanthrope pirate ship in general." He jests somewhat sarcastically.

Miron:"It must be stolen.. that's no deity a pirate would worship."

GM:For your natural 20, here. http://www.canonfire.com/wiki/index.php?title=Kurell

VAE:wht does kurell have to do wit hthis

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Hy em lookink forvard to meetink dis Barbarus. Sounds like a fun guy."

Liatai:Miron: "If anything, he sounds like someone Barbarus would like." GM: Barbarus would probably prefer his brother Kurell. :P

VAE:ah

VAE:I see

Meany is disconnected.

Tathi:"Let's keep moving people!"

Thomas Lazarus:"He certainly.. is that, if nothing else."

Gamal-Junayd:"Time to head back down"

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas casually remarks to Gamal in passing, "..Good to have you along, by the way. You're sharp, and handy with those scimitars to boot."

GM:Pardon, the DM is grabbing soda. Got any mid-session-ish noms?

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Yah, Hy vant to kill more seavolf pirates!"

Ghostwish:mid-session? XD

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods in assent as Gamal and Thomas decend the stairs. "Indeed. You are proving to be very handy."

Dr. Hatari:Mid-session at midnight.

Dr. Hatari:PREPARE YOURSELVES.

Gamal-Junayd:"Thank you, you are a pleasure to fight beside as well, much better than some I've worked with in my career."

Dr. Hatari:WE'RE PLAYING PAST DAWN.

Gamal-Junayd:awesome

VAE:hmm

RAM:Thomas: The return of "COME AT ME, BRO!"

GM:Well, we can stop here if you like. :B

* Gamal-Junayd moves the barrel he placed over the trap door

RAM:NO!

Gamal-Junayd:no no no NO

TMG:I'm still fired up, too! >:O

Dr. Hatari:luuulz

RAM:I still have Dew!

GM:I was just planning for one more battle, and maybe some dialogue if people were still awake. :b

Dr. Hatari:I'm pretty sure Meany will raeg.

VAE:Nomming Thomas for battlestance.

TMG:Unless anyone's -actually- dropping here, I say keep going. ^^

TMG:Gamal for just Being Sharp In General

VAE:i'm OK to go ,since it's the last time in very long i'll see any Akellon

Dr. Hatari:Let's see... noms...

GM:I'd like it if Miron was here for the dialogue, so I'm good to go if you guys are.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Gnogglebolt for "Dropping ordnance!"

TMG:Nooh!

Dr. Hatari:lulz

TMG:Thomas for Deep Thoughts and Doubts

TMG:(and did anyone even -read- Gnogglebolt's deep thoughts at the beginning of the game? The wall of text? :B )

Shankfang the Deffrider:Swallowtail: "Damn lock...dammit...DAMMIT! Taking 20 =3="

TMG:(That was supposed to be very internal character-developy....)

Thomas Lazarus:It was more like deep thoughts and pity. He's deadly resolute these days.

Dr. Hatari:I did. :p

Ghostwish:Stop begging for noms.

Miron:"Dealing with heresy is what I make a living from."

TMG:Pity, then.

Gamal-Junayd:gnogglebolt for I wanna use the deep sea helm in my tactics no matter what

VAE:I wasn't there.

Dr. Hatari:Hahahaha

VAE:meh

Shankfang the Deffrider:Miron for "BURN THIS MUTHA FUCKA DOWN!"

TMG:ghostwish; i wasn't begging. I just mentioned it -once-, since it happened at the beginning of the game and I didn't think anyone remembered.

Dr. Hatari:Very well. :B

VAE:Tathi and Aellian due to the selfcongratulatory speak that made Miron gag

VAE:you know, Aellian groveling about how awesome her spells are

Dr. Hatari:Gnogglebolt for LEDGER QUEST: More roman numerals accrued than Dragon Quest.

VAE:It was hillarious

Ghostwish:of all the things to get nommed for.. why do i ever bother sometimes...

Gamal-Junayd:thomas for politenes in combat requests, please deal with this one, and the thank you after

VAE:Seriously, I laughed

Shankfang the Deffrider:Why do I keep getting left out during noms? >:

Dr. Hatari:Hey, you've nommed me for "words" like three time. :B

VAE:Shankfang!

VAE:Halloween Harry

Ghostwish:You've been nommed twice.

VAE:he flew in, and he shot monsters

VAE:Halloween harry

VAE:and anyone who didn't play it as a kid can kiss my furry arse :3

Dr. Hatari:Hmmm.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Except I haven't, Ghost.

Shankfang the Deffrider:VAE's was my first.

Meany has connected.

Dr. Hatari:Sszeyl for: I TOLD YOU. I TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT MERCY I WASN'T GONNA GIVE.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Unless you meant Herr Doktor's. Then disregard.

* Dr. Hatari is now picturing Sszeyl in the card-crusher meme.

Dr. Hatari:Except with faces.

Dr. Hatari:Instead of cards.

VAE:Gnogglebolt

GM:Any more? Meany, we're doing mid-ship noms.

VAE:for Who Wouldn't Surrender to a Maniac with a Handgrenade

VAE:Seriously

Dr. Hatari:lulz

VAE:Holding a grenade, close-range and asking for surrender

Meany:Let's see..

Meany:Miron for BUFFS.

* RAM always has to remind people that, yes, Shankfang is in the party too, and did nom-worthy stuff. Is honestly getting a little annoying.

Meany:BUFFS EVERYWHERE.

Dr. Hatari:Oh yeah.

VAE:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb0QONOFrNE

VAE:This is the game

Meany:Shankfang for All in the Family.

Dr. Hatari:I wanna nom the party collectively.

Dr. Hatari:For Flawless Double-Victory.

VAE:hee

TMG:Ram; today's session was mostly combat, and noms are supposed to be for roleplaying.--oh!

TMG:Shankfang for "DON"T YOU HURT MY BROTHER" instant-protective-instinct

TMG:-that- was good. :>

Meany:Let's see.

Meany:Aelian for SNIPAH.

VAE:I might be a bit selfcongratulatory then - Miron ,Tom and Shenkfang for epic entrance.

Meany:Swallowtail for utility ninja.

TMG:andif we're going to get through one more combat and dialogue tonight, we oughta get -going-.

VAE:Five against two? What will we do in the afternoon?

TMG:Perhaps should hav e svaed noms for later days, told everyone to save a log and reveiw later.

Ghostwish:Ugh, I usually argue agianst dice noms.. but since aelian badly needs noms, I won't.

Dr. Hatari:It's 12:30 though, really.

VAE:It reminded me of a joke

Ghostwish:oh. wait, it doesn't matter. DM disregards em anyway last I check.

Dr. Hatari:We've been down this road before.

Dr. Hatari:People want to continue now..

GM:Thomas - 100 XP - Battle Stance 100 XP - ANIME CHOP. 100 XP - Prayer for thine enemies.

VAE:A russian soldier goes on the border line

Dr. Hatari:In 10 minutes, they'll be asleep. :P

GM:Gamal - 200 XP - You're a sharp lad. In more ways than one.

GM:Miron - 300 XP - Investigator! 300 XP - Religious trivia? WHERE? *_* 300 XP - Awesome Recitation

GM:Sszeyl - 200 XP - Face Crusher

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas hits level 9. *_*

VAE:Well, a chinese regiment shows up

GM:I'll tally any others after this bit coming up.

GM:Now then! Who's first down the stairs this time, and who's second?

VAE:after a while, he comes out again

RAM:Jealous~!

TMG:« 29750+200+200+200 = 29750 + 200 + 200 + 200 = 30350 »

GM:And are we keeping init or rerolling?

VAE:200 chinese soldiers, come fight me

VAE:same

VAE:after a while.. 300 chinese soldiers come fight me

Thomas Lazarus:Alright.

Meany:Wait.

Miron:"I go second"

Meany:Did we get combat exp?

Meany:=3=

RAM:31300 now.

Thomas Lazarus:I'll take a liberty out of spirit of fairness and say..

* Gamal-Junayd pulls up the trapdoor

Gnogglebolt:Let's keepinit, just for expediency's sake. Even thought Gnogglebolt's really low in it.

Thomas Lazarus:It has definitely been 8 minutes.

GM:No combat EXP yet.

Thomas Lazarus:Tom's buffs fade.

VAE:But this time.... one badly wounded soldier climbs over

RAM:Combat exp will be at end , I assume.

VAE:and shouts to the rest of the chinese

VAE:DONT GO! ITS A TRAP THERE"S TWO OF THEM

Thomas Lazarus:Unfortunately, everyone's Aid HP also fades.

Thomas Lazarus:"Aelian."

RAM:Which buffs were Tom's, again?

Thomas Lazarus:"Think anything's down there..?"

Dr. Hatari:Tom's only party-wide buff was Aid. +1 hit, temp HP.

Miron:"We'll find out soon enough. After you, brother."

Sszeyl:I'd like to go down first, if it's allright. =w=

Sszeyl:Dark vision.

Sszeyl:Plus I kill people's faces.

Thomas Lazarus:"Mm.."

Miron:"I can see in the dark, too."

Miron:(lowlight(

Sszeyl:Please note the lack of quotation marks.

VAE:ugh

Sszeyl:Hahahahahah.

Thomas Lazarus:Very well.

Shankfang the Deffrider:I also has Darkvision!

VAE:then ignore mine, too

Gamal-Junayd:"Anyone have a light they can take with em?"

Sszeyl:Also, lowlight vision is effectively meaningless in Maptool.

Sszeyl:=w=

Miron:"Got an everburning torch somewhere there."

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas descends with his guard up. Full-defense movement to the lower deck.

Sszeyl:"I do."

Sszeyl:After the knight.

GM:Who's second? Sszeyl? Okay.

Miron:"Or at worst..."

Shankfang the Deffrider:So, we keeping init? Someone put forth the idea, but it was never confirmed or denied.

* Thomas Lazarus boggles.

Thomas Lazarus:"... Really?"

VAE:*theaddesk*

TMG:I voted for keep init, just to keep things moving quickly

* Gamal-Junayd will attempt to roll on down and off the side fo the stairs next

VAE:Good job sszeyl

TMG:...nevermind, init was cleared

GM:Roll init again, all.

TMG:Okay, let's just go.

VAE:shamans have low fort, in general

VAE:Wrack would have done him

Tathi:« 1d20+floor((dexterity-10)/2) = 8 + floor((17 - 10) / 2) = 11 » initiative!

Edaric:« 1d20+1 = 9 + 1 = 10 »

Thomas Lazarus:Init: « 1d20+1 = 11 + 1 = 12 »

Shankfang the Deffrider:Is it time for fightink now? « 1d20+5 = 7 + 5 = 12 » Initiative!

Gamal-Junayd:(Initiative Roll : « 1d20+6 = 19 + 6 = 25 »)

Aelian:« 1d20+5 = 14 + 5 = 19 » initiative!

Gnogglebolt:Gnome init « 1d20+1 = 10 + 1 = 11 »

Swallowtail:« 1d20+3 = 15 + 3 = 18 »

Sszeyl:« 1d20+2 = 7 + 2 = 9 » Dex check!

Miron:« 1d20 = 5 » initiative

Shankfang the Deffrider:Is the flight potion still in effect?

Sszeyl:"Take the warrior."

Dr. Hatari:Definitely not RAM.

Sszeyl:"The magician is mine."

Dr. Hatari:Only 5 minute duration.

Seawolf Brigand 3:« 1d20+7 = 13 + 7 = 20 »

Seawolf Shaman 1:« 1d20+3 = 14 + 3 = 17 »

Thomas Lazarus:He offers the barest grunt of acknowledgement.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Roger. Not used to magic effects. Never really used them before.

Gamal-Junayd has received initiative.Gamal-Junayd:suprise round or normal?

Dr. Hatari:Totally fine. Never be shy about asking.

Liatai:Normal round.

Shankfang the Deffrider:I'm not.

Sszeyl:http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs29/f/2008/046/2/3/OP_Card_Crusher_Meme_2_by_c0rkydawL.png

Shankfang the Deffrider:Probably gonna need someone's help working spells once I make my Orc Chandak after we hit level 11.

Dr. Hatari:x3

VAE:what asinine thing was that?

Dr. Hatari:Just a meme. :B

Gamal-Junayd:okay, take 10 tumbling down and past them, dodge on shaman, combat expertise at 5, once I tumble into position, attack the shaman

Thomas Lazarus:Since it suddenly became super-relevant (o_o;) Tom's full-defence AC for this round is 28.

Gamal-Junayd:(Attack Roll : « 1d20+9+AMod = 11 + 9 + 0 = 20 »)
(Damage Roll: «
 1d6+6+DMod = 6 + 6 + 0 = 12 »)


Seawolf Shaman 1:What the flipping human. O_o

Sszeyl:http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ofQUBauhIAQ/TSQsA30LOlI/AAAAAAAAAHw/c2fhrtl9oy0/s1600/cardcrusher7.jpg

Thomas Lazarus:... Or not. :x

VAE:and this is yet more why Miron should go second. Buffs

Sszeyl:I am remembering why this is my second favorite meme.

Sszeyl:After Handsome Face.

Gamal-Junayd:Done

Seawolf Brigand 3:« 1d20+14 = 14 + 14 = 28 » Tumble check, moving south..

VAE:meh, wouldn't have helped actually. No surprise round here this

TMG:...wait.

TMG:Gamal can take 10 on a tumble?

TMG:In combat?

Gamal-Junayd:dervish ability

Dr. Hatari:He's a Dervish.

Seawolf Brigand 3:The wolf snaps at Gamal's legs as he leaps up from his roll! « 1d20+14+2 = 11 + 14 + 2 = 27 » « 1d6+2d6 = 5 + 3 = 8 »

Seawolf Brigand 3:And roll Will if that hits, of course.

TMG:Oh. Huh. Suspected as much.

Dr. Hatari:Insane combat flips and impossible dance-fighting are his thing.

Gamal-Junayd:Movement Mastery can take 10 on jump, perform dance, or tumble even if stress and distraction would normally prevent me from doing so

Ghostwish:but all the fancy moves in the world don't mean shit when the enemy rolls high.

Gamal-Junayd:he can AoO tumble?

Gamal-Junayd:oh his turn

Dr. Hatari:It's his regular turn silly. :P

Sszeyl:So much for Flawless triple victory.

Gamal-Junayd:(Will Save : « 1d20+4 = 10 + 4 = 14 »)

Seawolf Brigand 3:Just BARELY.

TMG:...oshit

Aelian has received initiative.TMG:...oh

Gamal-Junayd:wait

Gamal-Junayd:did he move past me and tumble or just move?

Aelian:Hrm. Where might aelian be able to move on the deck above to have sight?

Dr. Hatari:Tumble.

Seawolf Brigand 3:Tumble, my good dervish.

Dr. Hatari:He rolled it and such.

Aelian:.. where swallowtail is, likely. -.-

Gamal-Junayd:missed that

Dr. Hatari:Also.

GM:Where Swallowtail of Shankfang are. You might get a shot at the brigand from the spot south of Shankfang, but the creature is counted as having cover.

GM:*or

Aelian:Hold on, I could jump down from where Thomas is. :3

* Dr. Hatari has been listening to this.

Dr. Hatari:Feels like good Gamal theme mebbe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY-cG0z6Hug

Aelian:Aelian draws back his longbow at point blank range, and lets fly at Seawolf Shaman! « 1d20+12 = 12 + 12 = 24 » for « 1d8+2 = 8 + 2 = 10 » damage!

Sszeyl:...

Aelian:Done!

Thomas Lazarus:I DIDN'T DO IT.

Sszeyl has received initiative.Sszeyl:I guess I deserve this.

Sszeyl:Okay.

Gamal-Junayd:he hasnt even pulled out his dance routine yet. heh

Sszeyl:The monk moves forward, bloody right hand extended for a third time.

Sszeyl:*_*

Sszeyl:« 1d20+8+2 = 7 + 8 + 2 = 17 » Melee attack.

Seawolf Shaman 1:Hit!

Teeny Rin:That belt sure has paid for itself today.

Sszeyl:Once more, face grab.

Sszeyl:"I suppose I should start wondering about the moral consequences of doing this."

Sszeyl:"But to be frank, we are having far too much fun."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Morality iz overrated. KILL!" >:3

Thomas Lazarus:=w=;;

Sszeyl:"Bone crusher."

Sszeyl:« 1d8+4+2d6+4d6 = 1 + 4 + 8 + 10 = 23 »

Seawolf Shaman 1:« 1d20+12 = 14 + 12 = 26 » Fort!

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks down the trapdoor with a very worried expression.

Sszeyl:And the shaman gets to see the elf's eyes go red and green before it dies.

Seawolf Shaman 1:Thick-skulled shaman.

Teeny Rin:onoes

Sszeyl:Oh right.

Sszeyl:The fort for the Bone Crushing.

Swallowtail:"Tathi, I vanish."

Swallowtail:Poof!

Sszeyl:Not even a pained yelp? =w= I need to do better next round, it seems.

Tathi:"Right, I'll be watching for you." See Invisibility is still active, I hope. ^^;

Tathi:10 minutes a level. ^^

Swallowtail:« 1d20+7 = 18 + 7 = 25 » fan slash for « 1d6+1+3d6 = 1 + 1 + 10 = 12 » !

Teeny Rin:Pink aura??

Teeny Rin:Her style-rating is SS!!

* Teeny Rin is bricked.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Gotta admit, she looks damn nice in that outfit.

Seawolf Shaman 1:The wolf turns -- and savagely attacks what looks like thin air to everyone but Tathi. Bite « 1d20+9 = 14 + 9 = 23 » « 1d6+3 = 1 + 3 = 4 » and two claws « 1d20+3 = 12 + 3 = 15 » « 1d4+3 = 4 + 3 = 7 » and « 1d20+1 = 17 + 1 = 18 » « 1d4+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 »

Tathi:Tathi sighs, and mutters to herself, "I might as well stop preparing the big bangs. I'll never be able to use them with this group."

Swallowtail:Oh dear. « 1d20+6 = 16 + 6 = 22 »

Swallowtail:Whew!

Sszeyl:Hmm.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Too bad Sszeyl doesn't like her looks.

Gnogglebolt:"No, it's just the environment. You should've -known- that a ship would be an enclosed space..."

Shankfang the Deffrider has received initiative.Shankfang the Deffrider:>:3

Sszeyl:Sure, twist my words.

Tathi:You'd need a listen check to even hear that.

Sszeyl:I'll be sure to tell your wife you hit on humans while she was gone.

Tathi:Twist nothing. You said we're ugly. That includes her.

Tathi:WITNESS'D

Shankfang the Deffrider:I've hit on no one.

Gnogglebolt:...Gnogglebolt is -literally- standing right next to Tathi. But oh well. If is to be disregarded, then disregard.

Gamal-Junayd:"So..sneaking up on these guys seems a bad idea..maybe you should stick to unlocking things."

Shankfang the Deffrider:Shankfang slides into the stairwell, 5 foot step...

Tathi:Mutters to herself. What, do you mutter at the top of your lungs or something?

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Peekaboo." :3

Thomas Lazarus:"She will be alright. Timing was imperfect, was all." Oh init implications. You so uncanny.

RAM:Does the...whatever bonus Miron gives for damage apply to the Shaman?

Liatai:Yep.

Dr. Hatari:Probably not. I doubt it holds over between encounters.

RAM:>:3

Gamal-Junayd:dont think he's given it yet, has he?

Ghostwish:yeah, I didn't add that bonus to aelian's attack. :\

Liatai:10 minutes each Dark Knowledge, I think, but okay.

Liatai:No buff, then.

Gamal-Junayd:oh? so I could of added 2d6 damage to my strike on the shaman?

Dr. Hatari:Weeelllllll *bricked*

Shankfang the Deffrider:So, no?

Liatai:No buff.

Dr. Hatari:Nah.

Shankfang the Deffrider:DAMMIT RAIL!

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Eat lead!" « 1d20+15+2+1 = 16 + 15 + 2 + 1 = 34 » for « 3d6+1 = 14 + 1 = 15 »! Quickload! « 1d20+10+2+1 = 6 + 10 + 2 + 1 = 19 » for « 3d6+1 = 9 + 1 = 10 »! DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!

Dr. Hatari:Even if it doesn't seem very intuitive, it's probably how the mechanic ought to work. It is a limited uses magical power and all.

Shankfang the Deffrider:On the Shaman.

Seawolf Shaman 1:CRACK! Ah, THERE goes the skull.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Rule number tvo, de dubbel tap."

Thomas Lazarus has received initiative.Thomas Lazarus:"Mm.. I'll corner him.." Thomas darts off, moving quite fast for such a large armored fellow.

Liatai:Uh-oh, may be lagging.

Thomas Lazarus:Sword & board style slash! « 1d20+11 = 16 + 11 = 27 » « 1d10+5 = 5 + 5 = 10 »

Thomas Lazarus:Done!

Liatai::51 lagcheck.

Ghostwish:seawolf shaman transforms into level 20 douchebag... wow.

Dr. Hatari::51

Ghostwish:DOUCHEBAG LAGS CONNECTION. DOUBLE KILL HIM. >:O

Dr. Hatari::52

Liatai::52 at :51.

Liatai:Timewarp yay. :B

Dr. Hatari:... My clock just turned over. :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Hyu hokay, Svallowtail? Gamal?" Shankfang calls down from the top of the stairs.

GM:For the lootkeeper, Shamans have unless otherwise noted Spear (mwk), light crossbow (mwk), +1 leather, +1 light wooden shield, 8,000 GP

Tathi has received initiative.Swallowtail:"I fine."

Thomas Lazarus:"I'm keeping an eye on them." He glances to where Swallowtail (probably) is. "... Well. Sorta-speak."

Dr. Hatari:Thank you. Recorded.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Goot, goot."

Gamal-Junayd:"I'm fine, just a small scratch, still one more to take care of"

Tathi:Tathi makes a series of quick movements with her hands, and then points her open palm towards seawolf brigand, at which a dark green orb of acid rockets towards! « 1d20+6 = 4 + 6 = 10 » ranged touch for « 4d8 = 24 » acid damage!

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Schouldn' take long."

Gamal-Junayd:"And it looks like we found the cells...no one in them though."

Seawolf Brigand 3:That glob of acid burns a nice hole in the barrel nearby, but not a scratch on the brigand.

Gnogglebolt has received initiative.* Thomas Lazarus frowns darkly. "How many of their crew have they recruited out of their merchandise..?"

Thomas Lazarus:"Gods forgive us."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Too many, Hy'm sure."

Sszeyl:"Does it matter?" =3=

Gamal-Junayd:"Hopefully none from that leger you have..."

GM:Gnogglebolt?

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt...stares helplessly down the trapdoor. There's -nothing- he can do right now. Nearly everyone one of his options is AoE, and the only ones that are targeted come under the effect of penalties for firing into melee.

Gnogglebolt:Pass.

Ghostwish:HA. hypocrit! XD

Thomas Lazarus:You could go Madness Combat style and hurl your weapon at his head *bricked*

Edaric:I'm sort of in the same boat as you. >.>; Hm.

Tathi:Yeah, this is what happens when there's trigger-happy melee around and nice wizards who only hit allies accidently.

Gnogglebolt:"And I'm hoping they haven't 'recruited' any at -all-!"

Edaric:Bardsong! A few chords of lute music drift down into the lower deck. +1 on attack and weapon damage rolls, as well as saves versus fear!

Tathi:"Ed' i'ear ar' elenea! Can't you at least hold one down or something!?"

Miron has received initiative.VAE:what does it take to climb down?

VAE:how many feet?

Shankfang the Deffrider:Ha! Silly wizard!

TMG:...do magic RTAs come under effect of firing into melee penalty?

You whisper to Ghostwish: Translation? :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:I don't have to worry about my ranged DPS hitting my allies!

* VAE await decishun

Dr. Hatari:Probably. But it's almost never actually observed.

Tathi whispers: By the sea and stars!

TMG:Hmm. Interesting.

Liatai:Ten feet to reach an open space, if you choose the one west of Sszeyl. .

Tathi:That's because your ranged dps is pathetic, like Aelian's.

Aelian:T_T

VAE:west?

Thomas Lazarus:Ouch. She insulted your deeps.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Excuse me? Two attacks for a total of 6d6+2 is anything but pathetic.

VAE:there's Swallowtail there

Tathi:Two?

Thomas Lazarus:You're kind of whipped. *bricked*

Tathi:I get 16 at 8d6.

Liatai:West, not east.

Shankfang the Deffrider:And how many times can you do that a day, hmm?

Miron:Actually

Teeny Rin:OH NO.

Teeny Rin:IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN.

Tathi:Five times. And at that point, the army is dead.

TMG:....where the heck is Miron going?

Miron:*cast Inflict moderate wounds converting a level 2 slot*

TMG:?????

Shankfang the Deffrider:Yeah, I can keep going until I run out of ammo.

TMG:on WHAT?

Shankfang the Deffrider:All 500 rounds of it.

Miron:On Hand, dummy

TMG:But what's the targte? You just moved miron -away- from the combat!

Tathi:Pffffft. Too slow. Give it up son, you're a rifle trying to compare to an artillery piece.

Liatai:Aha. :3

Liatai:I see.

Miron:Move into proper space

TMG:Oh.

Sszeyl:Which reminds me.

Miron:Now, « 1d20+5+2 = 17 + 5 + 2 = 24 » Force Palm touch attack

Sszeyl: (( We never did get that particular mechanic question answered. ))

Dr. Hatari:?

Seawolf Brigand 3:Solid hit!

Miron:For « 2d8+5 = 9 + 5 = 14 »

Sszeyl: (( If Miron cast an Inflict spell to a touch attack. ))

VAE:That's how it's delivered

Sszeyl: (( And Sszeyl picked him up, then struck an enemy with Miron. ))

VAE:Ahahahah

Dr. Hatari:luuuulz

VAE:YES

Sszeyl: (( Does Miron still need to roll an attack to release the spell? ))

Dr. Hatari:Well.

Dr. Hatari:Technically.

Gamal-Junayd has received initiative.Dr. Hatari:If you did that..

VAE:don't think so

Dr. Hatari:it would target Sszeyl.

Liatai:Ack, I'll BRB.

TMG:Dervishtime.

Ghostwish:And Miron would take damage from being used as a weapon. XP

Shankfang the Deffrider:Artillary is kinda useless when your allies are in the middle of the impact zone.

TMG:Slash'em up.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Silly wizard.

Tathi:Hello captain obvious. Guess where this argument started?

Tathi:Yup. That's right. You're back at start and you didn't even collect 200 clams. You. Fail.

* Thomas Lazarus blinks.

* Thomas Lazarus blinks again.

Thomas Lazarus:"Is that another trap-door back there?"

Gamal-Junayd:I didnt notice it hag gotten to my turn, sorry, too much reading the argument spam

Tathi:"Yes? Is this supposed to be surprising?"

Thomas Lazarus:Well someone's all snappy. :x

Gamal-Junayd:okay...full attack on the wolfy

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Iz a big schip."

Tathi:"I thought human ships had at least six decks..."

Gamal-Junayd:dodge on final wolf, no combat expertise

Thomas Lazarus:"Guh."

Gamal-Junayd:(Attack Roll : « 1d20+14+AMod = 1 + 14 + 1 = 16 »)
(Damage Roll: «
 1d6+6+DMod = 1 + 6 + 1 = 8 »)


Gamal-Junayd:that's a nat one. end attack or just keep going?

TMG:Ouch1. Keep going.

Tathi: (( wow. the dice love you. ))

Gamal-Junayd:(Attack Roll : « 1d20+14+AMod = 20 + 14 + 1 = 35 »)
(Damage Roll: «
 1d6+5+DMod = 6 + 5 + 1 = 12 »)


Gamal-Junayd:then a crit threat

TMG:No fumbles, remember. Just keep going in your attack sequen--whoa!

Dr. Hatari:Liatai doesn't end full attacks on 1's. That's a screwed up rule that harms multi-attackers.

Gamal-Junayd:(Attack Roll : « 1d20+14+AMod = 20 + 14 + 1 = 35 »)
(Damage Roll: «
 1d6+5+DMod = 2 + 5 + 1 = 8 »)


Gamal-Junayd:20 again...

Dr. Hatari:True story: we

Shankfang the Deffrider::o

Dr. Hatari:Snap.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Roll again!

Gamal-Junayd:do I roll it a third time?

Gamal-Junayd:(Attack Roll : « 1d20+14+AMod = 8 + 14 + 1 = 23 »)
(Damage Roll: «
 1d6+5+DMod = 1 + 5 + 1 = 7 »)


TMG:hatari; wait, are you saying that rule is -actually- in a book somewhere--HOLY!

Sszeyl:Kitten.

Dr. Hatari:Tech; yes.

Ghostwish:Uh. Tech. It's stock. :P

Ghostwish:PHB.

Liatai:Sorry, kitten was pouncing me.

TMG:did Gamal just auto-kill? o.o I think we might have -that- houserule in play...

Gamal-Junayd:(Attack Roll : « 1d20+9+AMod = 8 + 9 + 1 = 18 »)
(Damage Roll: «
 1d6+6+DMod = 3 + 6 + 1 = 10 »)
3rd attack for this


TMG:and what page on this nat1 ends attack? O.o

VAE:yeah

Gamal-Junayd:(Attack Roll : « 1d20+9+AMod = 1 + 9 + 1 = 11 »)
(Damage Roll: «
 1d6+5+DMod = 3 + 5 + 1 = 9 »)


TMG:What page of PHB?

VAE:I am all for an autokill

Gamal-Junayd:and ends with another nat 1

RAM:Hi Cocoa!

Ghostwish:UH NO

Ghostwish:NO AUTO KILLS

Dr. Hatari:We had a lizardfolk Monk in an ECL 18 campaign with Shoja who couldn't punch for 140 damage, but he could haste flurry for over 12 attacks.

Ghostwish:Count how many times we've been critted and then ask for auto-kills! That hurts PCs, not monsters!

Gamal-Junayd:1, 20,20,8, 8, 1

Dr. Hatari:He always, ALWAYS rolled 1 on one of them.

VAE:So?

VAE:I don't care

Seawolf Brigand 3:Either way, it's well and truly dead.

Dr. Hatari:And it made his giant attack sequence worthless.

VAE:And never did

TMG:Hatari; Yes, I get your point. Page number in PHB?

VAE:NO1CURR

TMG:also; hmm. Ghost has a point. :x

VAE:NO1CURR

VAE:NO1CURR

VAE:NO1CURR

VAE:NO1CURR

VAE:NO1CURR

VAE:NO1CURR

VAE:NO1CURR

Dr. Hatari:M'I'unno. I took their word for it.

VAE:NO1CURR

Ghostwish:.....

VAE:NO1CURR

VAE:NO1CURR

VAE:NO1CURR

VAE:NO1CURR

TMG:wtf????

VAE:NO1CURR

Ghostwish:You wanna get kicked?

RAM:VAE.

Dr. Hatari:wut

Gamal-Junayd:"Truly...I think the dragons overestimated these pirate..there has been no real challenge among them yet."

RAM:Stop.

RAM:Now.

Meany:Kitten.

TMG:What the fuck was that, danman?

Meany:Get yo ass.

Meany:Out of my face.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Very nize, Gamal."

Thomas Lazarus:"Perhaps."

Shankfang the Deffrider:Hey, you're one of the few people who's name Shankfang's accent doesn't totally slaughter.

Thomas Lazarus:"Something feels amiss, though."

Ghostwish:Him being a dumbass.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Dere iz schtill a door, und at least vun more deck."

VAE:it was no1curr

Dr. Hatari:...

Tathi:"Are these.. holding cells?"

Swallowtail:"Brig."

VAE:No one care. a response to ghost whining

TMG:danman; what the hell does that even -mean-? And why was it spammed?

TMG:Yeah, don't ever do that again, danman.

* VAE will

Gamal-Junayd:"And their leaders may have gone in to the Island...I had heard there was a swordsman of note among them to challenge myself against..."

VAE:At any time it's expedient and apt

Sszeyl:"Healers."

Thomas Lazarus:"Mm.."

TMG whispers: Lia, tell him to never spam like that again, please. That was just horrific.

TMG whispers: please

VAE is disconnected.

You whisper to TMG: I have other things on my plate.

Dorf Aias:Oops! Ah slipped.

VAE has connected.

TMG whispers: .....huh

* Thomas Lazarus draws out a wand.

RAM:XD

Meany:=3=

Gnogglebolt:"Well, if these -are- cells, they don't have anything in them..."

Meany:Are you done being dumbasses, dumbasses?

Thomas Lazarus:« 1d8+1 = 2 + 1 = 3 » healing for Gamal. "The captain is a notorious pirate."

Gamal-Junayd:"Theres a door, and a trapdoor, and chests over here..."

Liatai:Okay, one moment, I need to rewrite a few things. Roleplay amongst yourselves.

Gnogglebolt:"And we -still- haven't seen wherever the spirit is being contained."

VAE:GHOSTIS AN ARSEFACE

VAE:GHOSTIS AN ARSEFACE

VAE:GHOSTIS AN ARSEFACE

VAE:GHOSTIS AN ARSEFACE

Dr. Hatari:Really

VAE is disconnected.

RAM:Seriously?

Dr. Hatari:I am trying to play.

VAE has connected.

Meany:Can we continue?

Dr. Hatari:Both of you shut up and RP. Or just shut up.

RAM:Seriously, VAE.

RAM:Enough freaking spam.

Liatai:« 1d8 = 7 »

Thomas Lazarus:Tom also heals Swallowtail for « 1d8+1 = 5 + 1 = 6 »

Gamal-Junayd:"Thanks for the healing...always nice to have some around, in case battles go sour."

VAE:=^.^=

Ghostwish:Just goes to show who's more mature between him and railock...

VAE:Did I ever claim to be mature

Gamal-Junayd:Ghost, serious, keep to the rp, and do NOT bring up old battles.

Dr. Hatari:Okay we're done tonight.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Chests! Loot!"

VAE:Nope.gif

Gnogglebolt:"Forget loot, we can go back for it later."

Dr. Hatari:Not putting up with you guys.

Gnogglebolt:"We have one more deck to clear, at least."

GM:Okay, hold up a moment.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Right, right."

Ghostwish:Yeah, fuck it. I'm tired of this too.

VAE:Might as well.. I need to pack up stuff *shrug*

GM:What just happened.

Meany:I suppose we should abandon the chat, so Lia can talk with Ghost and VAE alone.

Gamal-Junayd:"The spirit bound object? will we actually be able to tell what it is on sight?"

TMG:....you weren't even paying attention, Lia? ^^;

Dr. Hatari::13

* VAE rofls

Ghostwish:You didn't see the spam?

Gamal-Junayd:no, she had said she was going off for a second

RAM:Little bit of a spat, is all.

RAM:Seems to hvae been resolved.

GM:I leave for a few minutes and jeez.

RAM:Right, guys?

TMG:I don't want to end the game here, but I'm going to stop for a minute and let the DM sort this out.

Liatai::13 at :13, I'm lag-free.

RAM:Woohoo!

* Dr. Hatari has zero god damn interest it trying to wade through Ghost and VAE doing caustic one-upsmanship bickering.

Ghostwish:I've got a flight tomorrow that I can sleep on, so I'm good for going on, but if this idiot is going to keep on, I'm not for continuing the game.

GM:Ghost, kicking VAE was just as immature as the spam. Which, VAE, was also highly immature. Please do not do it again.

GM:Now, are we going to get back to the game or have another spam slap-fight? Hint; the answer is A.

RAM:Ghost, please do not aggrivate VAE.

Meany:VAE, please don't aggrivate Ghost. :V

Meany:There, now it's equal.

Ghostwish:-.-

Gamal-Junayd:"So..did anyone tell us what these spirit bound engine thingymabobbers actually look like?"

GM:Now then.

Ghostwish:would the children get back in the game, thanks?

Gnogglebolt:"It's magic. I assume there will be glowing."

Swallowtail:"Usually crystals. Shining."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Shiney?" :o

Gamal-Junayd:"Well, at least we know that."

Gnogglebolt:"Alright. One more trapdoor. let's move, folks."

Gamal-Junayd:"Theres a door as well

Gnogglebolt:"Or--oh, dang."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Hy tink ve schould check de door, first."

Gnogglebolt:"One more door on this decxk."

TMG:(they're so invisible!)

Gamal-Junayd:"and..are they small enough they might be kept in one of these chests? Maybe as a sort of disguise?"

Miron:"Door first, then we go down"

Shankfang the Deffrider:Gun up!

Meany:No they're not.

Tathi:"Just as a note? I'm going to be down to wands here pretty shortly. I didn't have time to prepare spells for fights like this."

Gnogglebolt:Blunderbuss readied.

GM:Is anyone searching this room, or no?

Meany:You just have poor sense of vision.

Tathi:« 1d20+4 = 12 + 4 = 16 » search!

Aelian:« 1d20+7 = 16 + 7 = 23 » search!

Gnogglebolt:Yes, we are searching the room to the north.

Gamal-Junayd:(Search Check : « 1d20+3 = 4 + 3 = 7 »)

GM:Lootkeeper?

Shankfang the Deffrider:« 1d20 = 11 » Search, because I might get lucky.

Sszeyl:No has Search skill.

GM:Prepare for a massive addition.

GM::3

Shankfang the Deffrider:Or not.

GM:1200 gp, 8000 sp, alexandrite (500 gp), lapis lazuli (12 gp), moss agate (9 gp), sardonyx (70 gp), a bolt of silk (50 gp), a pair of soft rabbit-fur gloves (60 gp), an ebony jaguar statuette with eyes and claws that shine with white Continual Flame (2000 gp), an ebony miniature depicting Corellon Larethian holding a silver rapier (800 gp), an ivory sundial with numbers made of deep green spinel (1000 gp), an Arcane Scroll (Charm Person (25 gp), Knock (150 gp)) (total 175 gp), an Arcane Scroll (Blink (375 gp)) (total 375 gp), an Arcane Scroll (Keen Edge (375 gp)) (total 375 gp), a Chime of Opening (3000 gp), a Divine Scroll (Hide from Undead (25 gp)) (total 25 gp), and a cold iron +1 kama (4304 gp).

Shankfang the Deffrider:YAY LOOT!

Gamal-Junayd:"Might as well open them all, just in case they disguised it in one of these chests"

TMG:....I said, IC, loot later. -_- Oh well.

Sszeyl:Is that a Kama?

Aelian:"How did you guys miss all this!?"

Sszeyl:Gimmie. :O

Sszeyl:Imma kill people with their own loot.

Dr. Hatari:Saved.

TMG:Let us NOT stop and IC sort through the loot -right now-. Let's say everything was thrown into bags and lets move.

Gamal-Junayd:yes tech, until no one could answer if it would be to big to hide inside a chest, at which point it's double check to make sure the ward isnt hidden in one

TMG:No one take any of the loot individually right now. No time for that.

Liatai:Tech, chill a little, too, hmm? ^^;

* Gamal-Junayd checks the door at the aft of the ship to see it it's locked

RAM:Was gonna say that myself.

Gnogglebolt:Now, are any of the frontliners coming up to the room to the north to back up--ah, there you are thomas

RAM:You beat me to it, Lia.

Ghostwish:Actually, if it's anything like eberron? We're looking for something -big-. XP

Sszeyl: (( For someone wanting to keep the game going, you're in a rush. ))

Sszeyl: (( For the record, I am not for keeping the game going. ))

Sszeyl: (( I'd like to call it at next oppertunity. ))

Shankfang the Deffrider:Say hi to my gun again, Thomas. :3

Sszeyl: (( But that's just me. ))

TMG:Meany; exactly.

Shankfang the Deffrider:It's sitting next to your face.

GM:The door is unlocked.

Gamal-Junayd:nobody told me when I asked, so it's a crystal of undeermined size

Ghostwish:But! I dunno. I apparently got info on these ships that I either never saw or completely forgot cuz I'm drawing a blank. XP

Gamal-Junayd:"Doors unlocked. kick it in and rush as a group?"

Gnogglebolt:Blunderbuss at the ready, someone opens the door I presume. If no one else, Gnogglebolt does.

GM:Listen checks?

Sszeyl: (( That's kinda typicall for you, Ghost. ))

Gamal-Junayd:(Listen Check : « 1d20+1 = 17 + 1 = 18 »)

Ghostwish:ya think?

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

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

Shankfang the Deffrider:« 1d20 = 8 » Listen!

Sszeyl: (( Your memory sucks. :B ))

Sszeyl:« 1d20+5 = 15 + 5 = 20 » Listen check!

Tathi:« 1d20+2+floor((wisdom-10)/2) = 7 + 2 + floor((13 - 10) / 2) = 10 » listen!

Aelian:« 1d20+10 = 9 + 10 = 19 » spot and « 1d20+11 = 5 + 11 = 16 » listen!

Miron:« 1d20+5 = 2 + 5 = 7 » Listen

GM:You can hear someone walking in the next room. Boots, so at least it's not a clawed set of paws.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt qwuickly holds up a first.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Breech und klear?"

Gnogglebolt:"Someone's in there." He whispers.

Thomas Lazarus:"..." He looks to Gnogglebolt.

* Gamal-Junayd puts his hand on the nob, and begins to slowly turn, just enough where it could be opened

Sszeyl:"Good."

Aelian:"Boots. Not claws." Aelian whispers.

Sszeyl:"Let's kill them."

Gamal-Junayd:"On three, we rush in..."

Gnogglebolt:"Everyone be ready." Gnogglebolt holds the blunderbuss high.

Miron:"Bugger."

GM:Don't suppose anyone speaks Tanish?

Gamal-Junayd:"one"

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Chust kick de door in, Tomas."

Gamal-Junayd:"two"

Ghostwish:speak who now? XP

Sszeyl:Lolnope. :B

* Thomas Lazarus readies.

GM:Didn't think so.

Sszeyl: (( Spanish. ))

Gnogglebolt:"But don't shoot unless they seem hostile."

Gamal-Junayd:"three" gamal kicks in the door and follows it with a tumble in and accross

Sszeyl: (( Spellcasters, Comprehend Languages. ))

Miron:"How likely"

* Thomas Lazarus rushes into the room!

Shankfang the Deffrider:Shankfang follows behind!

Gamal-Junayd whispers: this is your plot bunny bastard isnt he?

Dr. Hatari:Aw yeah. =w=

Miron:"Who the hell is this?"

Shankfang the Deffrider:And POSE!

Sszeyl:Sszeyl casually stolls in.

Sszeyl:Bloody hand held aloft.

Sszeyl:*_*

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks around and takes split-second stock of the situation. Injured seawolf, robed human.

Miron:"Looks like a cultist."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Hyu! Identify hyuself, now!"

Gnogglebolt:And waiting for immediate response of them from the DM before any further actions

Miron:*loudly* "Leaden Mace! Lay down your arms!"

Gamal-Junayd:assuming that's anything like the guy looks like "I...dont think he's a captvie, and thus is probably a pirate of his own free will."

Gnogglebolt:...well, Gnogglebolt -was- gonna say that, but was going to wait...

Rosario Paz:You can see a cloaked figure with his back to the door, removing some things from the chest on the far corner. He whips around, blinking at the group, holding healing supplies and a scroll in his hands. And he smiles at you. "Well, you certainly know how to make an entrance. What arms?"

Sszeyl:"Who are you."

Sszeyl:"And why shouldn't I kill you?"

Gnogglebolt:"....Who are you? Identify yourself." Gnogglebolt calls from behind.

* Thomas Lazarus says nothing yet.

Shankfang the Deffrider:*Click* Pistol cocked and ready!

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt puts his blunderbuss away and switches for his bombchucker.

Gamal-Junayd:what sort of things was he taking from the chest?

Tathi:« 1d20+18 = 20 + 18 = 38 » Knowledge Arcana!

Gamal-Junayd:(Spot Check : « 1d20+0 = 7 + 0 = 7 »)

Tathi:This guy appear to be a spellcaster?

Miron:"Lay down whatever you hold, and raise your arms above your head."

Gnogglebolt:And he...loads it. Six-second use tech device check, DC 17, MR 1. « 1d20+16 = 20 + 16 = 36 »

Rosario Paz:"... and violent to boot. You may call me Rosario Paz, ship's chaplain and doctor, and you don't want to kill me because I can help you."

Shankfang the Deffrider:Epic loading!

Gnogglebolt:This one's not a bomb, but the Extra-Tanggling Net. Will keep in the barrel.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt steps forward.

Miron:"Ship's chaplain?"

Thomas Lazarus:"..."

Gamal-Junayd:"And if you are part of this ship, how and why would you help us?"

Sszeyl:"That really just gives me more reason to kill you to be honest."

Sszeyl:"Might want to expand on that help."

Miron:"You might want to expand on the "chaplain""

Gnogglebolt:"Help us, huh? Well, this is a slaver ship we were sent to disable. Start talking."

Gnogglebolt:"What exactly do you do here?"

Shankfang the Deffrider:"At least tvo uf us are very, very trigger heppy. Eksplain."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt's bombchucker is raised. Ready action to fire: any sudden movement.

Miron:"Quick."

Thomas Lazarus:"..."

Aelian:Aelian whispers something to Tathi, who giggles and nods.

Aelian whispers: "Bloodthirsty like a bunch of mountain orcs, huh?"

Miron:"Remember, An inquisitor only asks twice. The second time, it hurts."

Shankfang the Deffrider:« 1d20 = 6 » Listen check, can I hear what Aelian whispered?

Shankfang the Deffrider:Definately not.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Damn, these pointy ears are useless.

Rosario Paz:"Not very patient for dragon hires, are you? Believe it or not, inquisitor, I don't want to fight you. Fighting only leads to premature death, after all, and no one wants that, unless you happen to be one of those vile Nerullian sorts. Granted, I'm only assuming from your ecclectic group makeup and apparent power in destroying about half the pack with ease that you're one of Salishea's or Locarath's sorts."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt keeps the bombchucker trained on him. "...You're very well-informed."

Gnogglebolt:"But you haven't actually answered our questions."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Schmot guy..."

Tathi:"Enough, are you the vecnan priest here?"

Miron:"I'm starting to lose patience."

Miron:"Tathi, ever since he said 'chaplain' that was obvious."

Gnogglebolt:"Though really, there is only one question that matters."

Miron:"Nice job masking the symbols."

Gnogglebolt:"Are you or are you not a part of the slaving operation? And if you claim no, you better have a -very- convincing story."

Miron:"If we were *just* hired thugs, it'd have worked"

Tathi:"Well them, I am ever so glad to see that my party was smart enough to line up single file in front of a known spellcaster."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Vy do hyu tink Hy'm behind dem hall?" :3

Rosario Paz:"In good time, good gnomes, in good time. First you need to help me before I can help you. Simply satisfy my curiosity as to what you're searching for, and I can help you. I'll even hide your involvement from the captain should it be possible. But to do that..." He raises a finger, still smiling. "I need to know what you're after."

Gamal-Junayd:It could be worse, we could of lined up in a line away from him allowing lightning bolt or something. but really, with the room available in here, theres not much choice. AoE attacks will hit

Miron:"Vecnan cultists are one of the things."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt frowns.

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas finally speaks -- and it's a soft incantation, and a few flourishes of his off-hand. He invokes detect evil, and orients it to only catch Rosario in the radius.

Miron:"He's stretching our time."

Shankfang the Deffrider:Actually...

Rosario Paz:"Is it treasure? A particular acquisition? Or perhaps the wards?"

Gnogglebolt:"Tell us what kind of 'help' you would offer us, first."

Shankfang the Deffrider:Moving out of the room, taking cover around the wall. :3

Shankfang the Deffrider:Yay tactics!

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt dearly hopes the others are smart enough not to blurt out our objective.

Thomas Lazarus:He's a priest. =w=;

Miron:"No. the only thing relevant is whether he admits to being one of them."

Thomas Lazarus:What kind of crazy AoEs do you anticipate?

Gamal-Junayd:"Were here to shut down the slaving operation, and bring to justice everyone involved."

Tathi:Tathi narrows her eyes.. "Since when does a follower of the Secret Keeper divulge secrets so easily?"

Miron:"That said, I do have an elixir of truth."

Rosario Paz:"As the elf so accurately assumed, mine is the Lord of Secrets, good trigger-happy Mazian gnome. A secret for a secret, you understand?"

Miron:"Never said it was going to be easy, or voluntary."

Miron:"I had enough of this crap. Seize the heretic, Thomas!"

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Hey, Hy'm de trigger heppy vun! Schtop schtealink my schtick, Gnogglebolt!"

Rosario Paz:"This organization is beginning to run its course."

Tathi:"Hrm. That's the one trade in information a vecnan will honor without question. Odd little wrinkle in their philosiphy, I think."

Thomas Lazarus:Depends.

Tathi:"DON'T. MOVE."

Gnogglebolt:"...You'll forgive me if we are a bit on too delicate an edge here to say anythin--" Gnogglebolt tsiffens as Miron shouts.

Gnogglebolt:And Tathi as well.

Tathi:"by Alobal, he's probably just waiting for you to do something so foolish."

You whisper to Dr. Hatari: Yep, he registers as a very strong evil aura.

Thomas Lazarus:"..." He glances back.

Tathi:"Dare I hazard a guess? Is it inflict wounds you have readied? Or maybe just a teleport?"

* Gamal-Junayd upon hearing miron's command, tenses up and ready's an action to break into a dervish dance attack routine against the if combat breaks out

Gnogglebolt:"Thank you, Tathi. Miron, please do not try to provoke again."

Tathi:"I'm not sure what vecnans like to fling. But I know spellcasters. Unlike some people."

Miron:"Seriously?"

Thomas Lazarus:"... The ward." He answers simply.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Hy agree, no reason to provoke de priest if ve don' need to."

Miron:"Tathi, if he did something to him, he'd be as good as dead.There's enough of us here."

* Rosario Paz chuckles, and unfurls the scroll. "See for yourself," he says, displaying the text of the scroll. You can roll Spellcraft if you like.

Tathi:« 1d20+14 = 12 + 14 = 26 » spellcraft! -5 if its necromancy or illusion, +2 if it's evocation!

Miron:« 1d20+17 = 2 + 17 = 19 » Spellcraft

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Not dat Hy mind hevink anodder target to schoot..."

Rosario Paz:It's a Cure Moderate Wounds prayer scroll.

Sszeyl:Why would you do that.

Sszeyl:When Read Magic would be much easier? =3=;

* Thomas Lazarus doesn't really bother. He has no mind for spellcraft.

Tathi:"So you're serious about negotiating with us then?"

Gamal-Junayd:yes, cast a spell when the simplist thing like that might send the non spellcasters with no clue into combat mode

Tathi:"FIne. You heard. We want the ward."

Rosario Paz:"The wards. And through them, to shut down the organization, I see."

Gamal-Junayd:"All of them, not just one."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt keeps silent as the others spill the objective. Oh well, seems necessary now.

VAE:hmm, if this goes in this manner, Miron will likely try to wrack him or something. Bargaining with a vecnan as equal.. ugh, no

Shankfang the Deffrider:Please don't.

Sszeyl:Sszeyl is just plain quiet.

Sszeyl:Observing the blood on his hand.

VAE:I'm pointing it out first. It is , or it does seem to me, perfectly in character.

* Thomas Lazarus simply observes. Carefully. Both parties have bets placed and wagers on the table. Every action has consequences.

Rosario Paz:"To come here, you must have walked past one."

Gnogglebolt:"....So the wards -are- disguised."

Shankfang the Deffrider:Shankfang just chills behind cover, ready to start firing if need be.

Gamal-Junayd:"Built into the ship masts and their extensions down through the decks?"

Tathi:"Ahhh. Clever. But who installed such a system for them?"

Miron:"Told you to just torch this wretched place. Would have dealt with it all."

Rosario Paz:Does the smile ever leave this guy's face? It hasn't left since you first clapped eyes on him.

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas interrupts with a rather different line of inquiry;

Thomas Lazarus:He points his sword at the seadog in bed.

Thomas Lazarus:"Who were they?"

Gamal-Junayd:"After we made sure of lack of captives..torching it would of been a definate good choice."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt is visibly grateful for Thomas' change of subject.

Gnogglebolt:Bombchucker is still raised, though.

Gamal-Junayd:"Oh..and you haven't confirmed if my suspicions were correct, so you havent actually divulged a secret yet."

Tathi:"Yes he has. I would have had to comb the ship with detect magic to find those wards."

Rosario Paz:"Him? Amayan, I believe. At least he spat that tongue rather fervently at me when I tried to treat his wound."

Miron:"I'm unsurprised."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt frowns.

Sszeyl:Le shrug.

Gnogglebolt:"....And what does that mean?"

Shankfang the Deffrider:Look back at Swallowtail.

Tathi:"Allright, next question. Are there any slaves on this ship?

Gamal-Junayd:"And if he doesnt confirm they are in the masts, you may yet have to."

Shankfang the Deffrider:How's she take that bit of info?

Gnogglebolt:"As in, where did this 'amayan' come from?"

Ghostwish:aw, crap, my bad, I thought he said they were in the masts.

Gnogglebolt:"How did he come to be on this ship?"

Dr. Hatari:Wait. Oh no.

Gamal-Junayd:no it was gamal guessing as the most logical place if we've past em and not found em

Dr. Hatari:The wards... are in the loot.

Dr. Hatari:Clever bastard.

Rosario Paz:"You've arrived about an hour too late for finding our merchandise, of sorts. They've been taken to the caves for inspection and pricing."

Gamal-Junayd:do we have crystals in the loot?

Dr. Hatari:I was just joking. :P

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Not a problem, dat's our nekst destination..."

Gnogglebolt:"...We have no way of confirming if what you just said was true. If it is, though, we are thankful for that at least."

Rosario Paz:"Now, there are two secrets you didn't know. You owe me one. Tell me, what do you know of spiritbound vessels?"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt doesn't answer that one, obviously.

Sszeyl:"Spirits bound to physical constructs."

Sszeyl:"Full stop."

Gamal-Junayd:"Ahem. you said we walked past a ward. that does not, in fact, tell us where it is."

Miron:The inquisitor is trying to look calm, but you can see the throbbing veins on his forehead and neck

Shankfang the Deffrider:"...Kan zumone kalm Miron down? He looks like he's about to blow."

Rosario Paz:"On the ship. Likely in an obvious place you simply passed over. Do you know how to achieve your objective?"

Thomas Lazarus:"That would be because he understands the type of person we're parlaying with." He remarks evenly.

Gnogglebolt:"..." Gnogglebolt doesn't answer that one either. He figured the magic types would know what to do.

Sszeyl:"Check to see everyone on the ship is dead, then set it on fire? =3="

Miron:"We know just enough for ourselves."

Gamal-Junayd:"I would guess that beaching the ship and then burning it down would accomplish the goal"

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Und kan hyu schtop dancink around de ansver und chust giff it to us schtraight? Hy hain't against schootink hyu if Hy hef to."

Miron:Also, prepare action. If he looks like he's to move, or cast a spell, wrack him.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"In de knee."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Very painful."

Rosario Paz:"A poor solution, as the veil isn't the only ward on the ship. Now another secret is owed to me. Which dragon hired you?"

Gamal-Junayd:"And I'm starting to agree that were just wasting our time here."

Sszeyl:"Salishea."

* Thomas Lazarus seems faintly amused for a moment. "...?"

Tathi:Tathi sighs and rolls her eyes. "Would you all stop? You're only working us deeper into debt."

Gnogglebolt:"Indeed. We've got places to be--" Gnogglebolt glances at Sszeyl.

Gamal-Junayd whispers: do I know of any famouse dragons from the desert or nevermind the monk has no sense.

Gnogglebolt:"Right."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Kan Hy kneecap him now? Please?"

Gnogglebolt:"yeah, I think we're near the end of this, too."

Miron:"I never said you can't."

Miron:"This is a poor charade."

Gamal-Junayd:"Charge!"

Gnogglebolt:"We've wasted time, and we are rather on a bit of a tight schedule here. I only have one more question."

Gnogglebolt:!!!

VAE:you don't

Rosario Paz:"Shooting an unarmed healer is bad karma, you know. And I would hold your fire if I were you."

* Gamal-Junayd launches into combat

Miron:"And that is because?"

Thomas Lazarus:"..."

Rosario Paz:"Call off your Moscran first."

Gnogglebolt:"Good thing I chose my ammunition carefully." Gnogglebolt...grins.

Thomas Lazarus:"... Nah."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Hyu're a priest, probably a kleric. Hyu are far from onarmed oh dammit..."

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas approaches.

Gamal-Junayd:gamals going to dervish dance. move and full attack, though he's pulling his punches for non lethal

Miron:"You are a heretic in the eyes of the Church, and criminal under the law of the crown"

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas is likewise moving to apprehend.

TMG:er...might want to hold on that, railock...

Rosario Paz:The man unfurls the scroll the rest of the way and speaks an -- arcane word?

TMG:or--

Gamal-Junayd:it's why I havent moved the token

Ghostwish:forget it tech

TMG:nevermind.

Ghostwish:this situation is a wash.

Gnogglebolt:READIED AXCTION!

Rosario Paz:He dissolves into mist.

VAE:well, readied action , Lia

Gnogglebolt:Readied action!

Shankfang the Deffrider:If we're going non-lethal, I'll shoot for the kneecap, I guess.

Gnogglebolt:....

Shankfang the Deffrider:Or not.

Ghostwish:Ha.

Ghostwish:Ha.

Ghostwish:Ha.

Ghostwish:Knew it.

VAE:I wanted to wrack him as soon as he does

Sszeyl: (( Word of recall. ))

VAE:Ah , illusion

Sszeyl: (( Weee. ))

Sszeyl: (( :3 ))

Ghostwish:No.

Thomas Lazarus:Duh. :P

Ghostwish:Quick action.

VAE:Oh

Ghostwish:You don't get readied actions/.

Gamal-Junayd:Pretty much

Tathi:"Idiots." Tathi says, and walks off.

Rosario Paz:"Pity indeed," the man's voice whispers.

Gamal-Junayd whispers: does that take one of my uses of dervish dance or do I get to keep it?

Miron:"Idiots"

Tathi:"Oh? And Miron? You can't interrogate a vecnan."

Rosario Paz:"Had you only kept your patience for a short while longer, you would know where exactly the ward was."

Tathi:"They're immune."

Miron:"They are immune to pain?"

* Thomas Lazarus glances flatly over his shoulder. "..."

Rosario Paz:"Ta."

Tathi:"Yes. They will die before they speak."

Gamal-Junayd:"You know...if were going to be talking secrets..have you ever heard of lying?"

* Thomas Lazarus looks back.

Thomas Lazarus:"You better hurry." =_=

You whisper to Railock: Keep your dervish dance opportunity.

Miron:Miron just reaches a nearby wall, bangs his head on it once, then presses it on to cool.

Gamal-Junayd:"We gave away far more information to him, than we gained in return."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt is taught as a cord, still aiming his bombchucker at the empty space.

Gamal-Junayd whispers: thanks

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Surprisink, Hy vasn' de vun to jump de gun on dis..."

Miron:"And it would all have been different had you fucking shot him."

Gnogglebolt:"Can't believe it."

Miron:*bash*

Sszeyl:"Aww well."

Sszeyl:"At least this one's dead."

Sszeyl:Le rip the top of his skull off.

* Thomas Lazarus rolls his eyes. "Quit raging. All of you. He was ready. You acting sooner would have had that result sooner."

TMG:aaaand this seems a good place to leave off.

* Thomas Lazarus blinks. O_o

Tathi:Tathi sighs, and starts to cast detect magic. Here we go, DM.

TMG:...wait, what?

Gamal-Junayd:"You realize that every time a question exchange was answered, he got a straight answer, and we got the run around?"

TMG:Um.

TMG:Meany

TMG:Seriously?

Thomas Lazarus:"Jeeze."

Sszeyl: (( Seriously. ))

Gamal-Junayd:that..one wasnt dead

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Brutal."

Thomas Lazarus:"..What is your problem with them, anyways?"

Miron:"I noticed. Which is why I said nothing."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt stares openmmouthed at Sszeyl.

Gnogglebolt:"What was that for?!"

Sszeyl:"I do not abide slavers."

Thomas Lazarus:"..."

* Thomas Lazarus baps him in the head.

Thomas Lazarus:"That was a slave."

Gamal-Junayd:"He was an injured man...we could of attempted to cure the curse, and sent him to justice."

You whisper to Ghostwish: Only a lingering magical aura, quickly fading, remains. The wispy trail leads upward, through the ceiling.

Sszeyl:"Perhaps at one point."

Sszeyl:"No longer."

Miron:"Does it matter? A far worse man escaped our clutches just now."

Sszeyl:"And now it is moot."

Gnogglebolt:"I don't abide cold-blooded murder And it sounded like that man ACTUALLy was an innocent--yes, what Thomas said!"

Tathi whispers: No sign of the ward?

* Thomas Lazarus frowns harshly. >:|

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Vell, vat's done iz done."

Miron:"Because all of you, pussyfooting around him."

Gnogglebolt:"We'll talk about this later, Sszeyl."

You whisper to Ghostwish: Oh! Not in this room.

Thomas Lazarus:"--He was ready."

Sszeyl:"If you wish. My answer won't change."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt stalks out of the room.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Hy'm gonna leaff hyu guys to bicker."

Thomas Lazarus:"I do not want to hear you all going on about this the whole trip."

TMG:okay

Tathi:"Miron, your ignorance is astounding. Did you not just hear that there was NO way of apprehending him? That was word of recall. Without locking this entire ship in a dimensional anchor, there was -no- way of catching him."

Edaric:"... what now?"

TMG:-now- this is probably a good place to leave off.

Liatai:... er, Tathi, roll Spellcraft. :P

Tathi:Tathi keeps scanning around, her eyes aglow. "Now shutup. I'm looking for the ward."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"So, Taddi, henny idea vat eksactly dat guy used to escape never mind, qvestion answered."

Gamal-Junayd:"He probably had his escape prepared before we came in...The only difference we could of hoped for was a more equitable exchange of half lies and stepping around the truth."

Tathi:« 1d20+14 = 20 + 14 = 34 » spellcraft! -5 if its necromancy or illusion, +2 if it's evocation!

Liatai:That was Gaseous Form, not Word of Recall.

Dr. Hatari:I assume it was actually mist form and not word of recall. =w=;

Ghostwish:UGH, I am falling asleep. who the hell said word of recall?

TMG:You did.

RAM:You.

Miron:"He only could do it because he was given the fucking time to "

You whisper to Ghostwish: There is a magical aura coming from the front of the ship, though.

Miron:"Not even the high cleric of fuck-all will cast a spell with a blade in his gut."

Sszeyl: (( Me. ))

Thomas Lazarus:"Of course we did. We didn't know who he was until he had the time."

Tathi:"Are you done being stupid yet Miron?"

Thomas Lazarus:"Now can we please just continue our mission?"

Miron:"Ever since he said "chaplain" it was obvious."

Tathi:"Because when you are, I'll tell you where he is."

Miron:"But then, I should have done something"

TMG:Leaving off the game here? Anyone? :B

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Svallowtail, umm, hyu hokay? Dat volf in dere vas Amayan..."

Liatai:Tech, let it go.

Gamal-Junayd:"Yes..lets finish this search, then destroy the boat. open the final trap door."

Miron:"Fine. Where is he?"

Liatai:Game's over when I say it's over. =w=;

TMG:Okay, okay.

VAE:Tech the co-GM

TMG:But I'm just saying, I'm finally starting to run on Empty, too. :B

Swallowtail:"I do not wish to talk about it."

TMG:I thought that was it. One more battle and dialogue. But ah well. If continue, continue~

Tathi:"Not good enough. Maybe I'll just let him tally off before he manages to wretch more information out of you."

* Gamal-Junayd sighs, and opens the hopefully final trap door

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Hokay. Chust...if hyu need to, hyu know vere to find me."

TMG:We've continued through other's tiredness before. Would be silly of me to ask different.

You whisper to Ghostwish: Did you get my note about the front of the ship?

* Thomas Lazarus frowns at Tathi.

Miron:"He didn't wretch a word from me. Tell me where he is."

Thomas Lazarus:"Please quit it. What do you think he's up to?"

Tathi whispers: that's where he is or where the ward is? I'm not trusting my brain anymore.

Miron:"This is a matter of life and death. Vecnans are no joke to fool around."

GM:The hold below this deck is dark, dank, smelly, and full of rack-like beds. You can see chains, as well.

Gamal-Junayd:"You know..if all he did was turn into mist...he might still be around, listening."

Gamal-Junayd:search the slave hold

Gamal-Junayd:(Search Check : « 1d20+3 = 4 + 3 = 7 »)

You whisper to Ghostwish: All you know is it's a strong magical aura.

Miron:"Well, then we should torch this place indeed."

Miron:"Gas or not, he'll burn up."

Tathi:She shakes her head. "No. I'm doing this for your own good. Follow me."

Shankfang the Deffrider:Swallowtail heard Shankfang, right? His offer to listen if she ever needed to talk?

Gamal-Junayd:"Yeah, after making sure he wasn't lying about the slaves being gone. Not going to trust his word at all on anything."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt pjerks up and follows Tathi.

Thomas Lazarus:"..." He follows grudgingly.

Liatai:Nothing in the slave hold but chains and refuse.

Miron:Miron eagerly follows.

Tathi:Tathi points at the figurehead on the front of the ship. "There's the ward."

Sszeyl:"Very well."

Gnogglebolt:"...Of course"

Sszeyl:"Do you want to dispell it, or shall I Mountain Hammer it?"

Shankfang the Deffrider:Yeznumebbelobsterpie?

Gnogglebolt:"Tathi, you are brilliant."

Miron:"I can try"

Miron:Dispel magic, on figurehead?

Gnogglebolt:"How do you think we should undo it, Tathi/ What's the best method?"

Tathi:She smiles faintly. "Not really. He wasn't cryptic enough. What's the only thing sturdy enough to hold a strong magical charm that we've walked past? The stone figurehead."

Figurehead:It'd take something a little stronger than Dispel Magic.

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas turns back, and collects the captive seawolf from below decks.

Tathi:"I should've seen it earlier."

Miron:"Hmm, that won't work."

Gnogglebolt:"...Wait, I thought this was supposed to be a live sea-gargoyle?"

Figurehead:"Hey. Hey."

Sszeyl:"Well, if you want to go the physical destruction route, I could use some boosting."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt jumps!

Sszeyl:"Oh hello figurehead."

Figurehead:"Thought I heard new voices. Who're you lot?"

Miron:"...Tiamat's three arses."

Tathi:Tathi quirks an eyebrow, and looks over at the figurehead. "So you can talk, eh?"

Sszeyl:"Directly behind you."

Gnogglebolt:"....What are you?" Gnogglebolt quickly asks.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Didn' Tomas mention hevink, like, improved dispel magic or zumddink?"

Shankfang the Deffrider:I'm flanked by NPCs!

Shankfang the Deffrider:I have a posse!

Shankfang the Deffrider:Aww...

Shankfang the Deffrider:Yay!

Gnogglebolt:Please be the spirit please be the spirit please be the spirit...

Figurehead:"Stuck is what I am. Hey, lemme out of here, will ya?"

* Gamal-Junayd goes to help thomas, just in case they wake up he has backup

Sszeyl:"Sure."

Tathi:"STOP."

Tathi:Sszeyl gets the mighty backhand if he even tries...

* Thomas Lazarus has simply secured the second prisoner and is checking on the first idly.

Figurehead:"Think I'm in this gargoyle thing's mouth."

Tathi:"I'm done letting you all make mistakes."

Sszeyl:As if you could actually stop me.

Sszeyl:Silly wizard.

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt looks at Tathi. "Yes? What is it?"

Tathi:Tathi carefully climbs out on the front of the ship, and peers into the mouth of the figurehead, detect magic going.

Sszeyl:So tempted to break it now.

Dr. Hatari:=w=;

Gnogglebolt:"Yes, no more mistakes would be a very good thing."

Sszeyl:And let her be eaten by the wolves.

Miron:"You are the one to talk."

Gnogglebolt:"Sszeyl, hold yourself. tathi is absolutely right."

Figurehead:A deep red gem glows buried in the kapoacinth's throat, lending the statue's eyes and mouth an eerie red glow.

Gnogglebolt:"She's been the -only- one right so far about anything, it seems."

Tathi:"Yes, Miron, talk. And you and me are going to talk about vecnans, and how they only show themselves when they have the advantage."

Gnogglebolt:"I am trusting her judgmenet in these arcane matters now."

Tathi:"And how frontal assualts never work on them. They have to be lured out."

Tathi:"And how zone of truth and other spells do not work on them."

Sszeyl:"Trust how you will."

Tathi:"And lots of other things you're dead wrong about."

Sszeyl:"Do not presume to speak for me unless I say you may."

Figurehead:"Hey, don't fall, toots, you're the best shot I got of leaving this dump behind."

Tathi:"But that's later. For now, shut your filthy mouth. I need to work here."

Shankfang the Deffrider:Don't even start bickering, or I'll sic my NPC posse on both of you. :B

Tathi:"Allright spirit, talk. Is it a gem I'm looking for?"

Miron:"Noone said anything about a zone of truth."

Figurehead:"Yeah, that's it. I can see you."

Gnogglebolt:"Wait, hold on."

Miron:"A few handy men is all you need."

Tathi whispers: Spell types in effect?

* Thomas Lazarus simply sighs and stands before dusting his hands.

Figurehead:"Give it a crack and I'm outta here. Come on, do it!"

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt gets into his pack and wquickly whisp out a grappling hook and rope. he ties the hook to the rope, and throws the hook to tathi, holding ont othe rope."

Tathi:"Miron, your mouth is open again. Try and work on that, will you?"

Gnogglebolt:"In case you fall. Be prepared."

Miron:"Shut the fuck up, Tathi."

Tathi:"Thanks Gnogglebolt."

Shankfang the Deffrider:Alright. Sic em, my NPC posse!

Gnogglebolt:"No, Miron, you be quiet now. let the woman who actually knows what she's doing work."

Shankfang the Deffrider::3

Thomas Lazarus:"...What's going on?" :.

You whisper to Ghostwish: Hooboy. Conjuration, enchantment, and abjuration, for starters.

* Gamal-Junayd heads on over as they seem to be up to somethign

Gnogglebolt:"We found it, Thomas."

Sszeyl:"Tathi found it."

Sszeyl:"She's talking to it."

Thomas Lazarus:"Oh. Well, good."

Gnogglebolt:"We found the SPirit, and the wards. It was the figurehead the whole time. tathi's trying to work on it right now."

Miron:"As opposed to a band that goes onto tea-talks with cultists, and lets themselves be milked for info. If he interrogated you he wouldn't have gotten more."

Tathi:"No funny business spirit. I've got a nasty spell prepped." She says, reaching in to grab the crystal. She's going to have shocking grasp prepped if the spirit tries anything.

Thomas Lazarus:"I suppose that Vecnan told us secrets in return afterall."

Gnogglebolt:"..And miron is being needlessly distracting Thomas, do something about it, please?"

Figurehead:The gem's lifted out without much hassle.

Thomas Lazarus:"Yeeaahh I've heard Tathi. We could all stand to cool off a little."

Thomas Lazarus:"Please?"

Tathi:Tathi comes back onto the ship, with gem in hand. "Right then. You seem to be speaking common. Who might you be, spirit?"

Gamal-Junayd:"Cant we all worktogether on finishing this mission? Leave the bickering for when were back, safe, and can go over the problems without putting us into further dangers?"

Figurehead:"Call me Selthom."

Gnogglebolt:"This is the mission right here, Gamal. This was the mission all along."

Gamal-Junayd:"This is part of the mission.

Thomas Lazarus:"..." He tilts his head.

VAE:Appropriate knowledge checks?

Figurehead:"And who're my gallant rescuers, eh?"

* Thomas Lazarus looks to Swallowtail briefly. "A ... spirit?"

Shankfang the Deffrider:"He! Hyu vill learn, nevbie. Taddi und Miron are alvays at each odder's troats."

Gnogglebolt:"...You'll pardon us if we're not in a talkative or information-giving mood."

Swallowtail:"Yes. Spirit in gem. Tathi, be careful. Spirits can be good, or evil, or neither."

Gamal-Junayd:"It's better if they were at the enemies throats."

Gnogglebolt:"We just had a very nasty run-in with a keeper of secrets."

Sszeyl:"Tathi, what do you hope to learn, here? Perhaps if the island ward is fueled by a similar spirit?"

Tathi:"The Vigilant Guardians. Now maybe you could tell us a little about you? We're a little wary of just loosing a spirit." She says, and looks up. "Thomas, do you have a soul-scanning spell ready?"

Thomas Lazarus:Nasty in a manner of speaking, yes.. :P

Figurehead:"Smug Tane number 2, huh."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Nize? Yah. Likely? Fuck no."

Thomas Lazarus:"..S-sorry. I don't. Used already."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt smacks his forehead.

Figurehead:"C'moooooon," the gem whines. "I've been stuck in this thing for five decades. Just lemme out and I won't bother you."

Gnogglebolt:buggering magic.

Thomas Lazarus:Actually.

Gnogglebolt:"Wait, hold on."

Thomas Lazarus:I am technically level 9 and do have detect evil at will right now... *bricked* ow okay.

Gamal-Junayd:"What do you intend to do if let out?"

Tathi:"Lovely." Tathi says, rolling her eyes. "Miron, care to keep your insults to yourself for two seconds to check this spirit's alignment?"

Thomas Lazarus:I need to rest and reflect. :B

Gnogglebolt:"Spirit, how much do you know of what actually happens on this ship?"

Shankfang the Deffrider:« 1d20 = 4 » Sense Motive? Anything from that?

Shankfang the Deffrider:Not with a roll like that, no.

VAE:Hmm

Figurehead:"Too much 'cause that fatass witch won't shut up about it when she gloats to me."

VAE:can you prepare a lower level spell into a higher slot?

Thomas Lazarus:"..If I might offer a suggestion.. let's simply ask it if it can tell us about the other pirates, and then let it go?"

VAE:because I got two level 1 slots empty

VAE:and no free on 0

Gnogglebolt:"...Well, I'll take that as a good thing. First."

Thomas Lazarus:"Lady Salishea did say it was forced into their service."

Gnogglebolt:"Do these slavers really take their captives to a cave on the island?"

Miron:"Wait a moment. She might not have complete information."

Figurehead:"Yeah."

VAE:Lia...

Gnogglebolt:"Excellent."

* VAE asking something

Liatai:Yes, you can.

Gnogglebolt:"...Another question."

Dr. Hatari:wots dat?

Dr. Hatari:Oh.

Miron:Give me a few minutes. *prepares Detect Evil into level 1 slot*

Tathi:"I have to say this is strange to me actually. Elves typically make alliances with elemental spirits. Just.. what kind of spirit are you, Selthom?"

VAE:tell me when doen

VAE:as in, appropriate place in conversation

Shankfang the Deffrider:I'm still curious if Swallowtail took notice of Shankfang's offer to listen later if she needed to talk...

Figurehead:"A bored one, and a freaking tired one."

Miron:The inquisitor is focused on his prayerbook.

Gnogglebolt:"...Wait! Spirit, are you maintaining an anti-dragon ward on this ship?"

Tathi:"Ha ha, and I have long ears. A straight answer, please? We already had fun with a black robe fleecing us for information."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt nods to tathi. "Good thinking."

Figurehead:"Yeah, hence the tired. Look, when're we gonna make with the freeing here? Come on!"

Miron:"You have waited for years, can wait a bit longer. At least until I finish the fucking spell."

Tathi:"Selthom, listen.. I'd like you to be free too, but I am getting this sneaking suspicion you might be an undead spirit intent on harming the living. I need a straight answer. What are you?"

Thomas Lazarus:"..."

Figurehead:"Not undead."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt...frowns. "...Okay. Spirit, I know you must really, really want to be free after so long of service, but you can stand to wait a bit longer I'm sure. And we aren't certain yet you might actually be an adversary. You =a-re trying pretty hard to be freed without answering our questons."

Figurehead:"Look, if you've gotta know, I serve a dragon god, all right?"

Tathi:"I have heard of elemental bindings like that. Jasidians do it."

Gamal-Junayd:"Well, if you want to be less tired, feel free to drop the ward and anything else the pirates were having you keep up. Then you'll be less tired."

Thomas Lazarus:Thomas proceeds to finish healing Swallowtail and Gamal's wounds. « 1d8+1 = 8 + 1 = 9 » and « 1d8+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 » healing for each.

Sszeyl:"Bahamut or Tiamat?"

Tathi:".. One head or six?" Tathi asks.

Figurehead:"Not that simple, desert man."

Figurehead:"Can't actually drop anything unless the captain of the ship says so or I get freed."

VAE:or I get freed?

Figurehead:"And you're not gonna get that Tanish prick to agree to drop the ward, so lemme go already!"

Gnogglebolt:"Hrm. I was afraid of that. But you still haven't answered, spirit--which dragon god do you serve?"

Tathi:Tathi curses. "Damnit.. he's not lying.. if he's bound, unwillingly, he's under restrictions."

VAE:He's asking us to do that , after all

Dr. Hatari:I think he meant as an alternative, not as a consequence. :B

VAE:also.. how long does preparing level 0 spells?

Gnogglebolt:"...Wait. Wait just a moment."

Gnogglebolt:"Tathi."

Gnogglebolt:"Do you mean to say that he is actually being prevented from answering our questions?"

Dr. Hatari:As far as I can tell, 15 minutes. ^^;

Tathi:Tathi nods.

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Now ve're chust teasink de poor guy..."

Gnogglebolt:"....Spririt."

Gnogglebolt:"If we free you from the gem."

Tathi:Tathi sighs heavily.. "Allright everyone.. I am not seeing much option here. Be ready for a fight, but hopefully Selthom here is at least honest. If not? I've got some spells ready."

Gamal-Junayd:"Does it have to be the captain who controlled you, or just the current captain of the ship. Because I think by pirate's rules or something...we've just captured this vessel, and thus, are the new captain, and can command you if that is so."

Gnogglebolt:"Can you stay around and give us proper answers to our questions?"

Miron:"Fucking WAIT"

Sszeyl:"Of course." =3=

Miron:"The spell will just take a few more minutes."

TMG:Um, danman, I think you can just say Miron has it now.

Miron:"Yep, that's about it"

* Thomas Lazarus watches flatly, anticipating something nasty just for that.

TMG:Now would be a very good time.

Figurehead:"One thing you pick up living among pirates for so long, they got a code. You're not captain unless the crew names you captain, and you just killed half the crew. Ew. That's a messy one."

Thomas Lazarus:"..Sorry."

Miron:The thoroughly pissed off inquisitor stands up, and waves his hand "May the unerring sight of Saint Cuthbert reveal all that is vile."

Tathi:"I'm not even sure if those rules apply in your contract, Selthom."

Figurehead:"Look, I promise if you let me go I'm not going to fight you. I don't break promises. Breaking promises gets you whipped."

Miron:*detect evil*

Sszeyl:You know what could have prevented this mess?

Sszeyl:If someone had multiclassed as Paladin.

You whisper to VAE: Strong evil aura.

Sszeyl::B

Gamal-Junayd:"Well, were the new crew, we jsut have to pick one amoung us to be the new captain."

Thomas Lazarus:Look, I get detect evil at will when we next sleep.

Thomas Lazarus::P

Miron:"Right. I had enough of this shit."

Miron:"If evil aura was shit, this one would be an otyugh."

Figurehead:"Look, is it treasure you want? I know where they stashed some treasure, I can tell you if you'll just let me the fuck out of here."

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt glances at miron. "What does your magic aura sa--"

Gnogglebolt:"...Um."

Thomas Lazarus:"... Does that mean it's evil?"

Thomas Lazarus:=w=;

Gnogglebolt:"Does that mean good or bad?"

Miron:"Bad as fuck, as far as I can tell."

Thomas Lazarus:"..Interesting."

Miron:"If you release him , be ready for a fight."

Gnogglebolt:".....dammit"

Figurehead:"Hey! I just told you!"

Thomas Lazarus:"I suddenly have a better idea."

Tathi:"Lovely. Then we are at an empasse.. we HAVE to release him, you understand? That breaks the ward for good."

Miron:"I say, torch the ship, keep him in and drag him to Salishea."

Thomas Lazarus:"Let's give him to Max."

Shankfang the Deffrider:-_-

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt jumps up.

Figurehead:"I may be a devil but I don't break promises!"

Gnogglebolt:"That's a brilliant idea, Thomas!"

Miron:"Yeah, right."

Gnogglebolt:"yes! Excellent idea!"

Miron:"Indeed."

Tathi:Tathi jerks. "Devil!? Lords and Ladies, they used an infernal spirit!?"

Thomas Lazarus:"A devil spirit."

Thomas Lazarus:"You're going to Max."

Figurehead:"What -- wait. Who's Max. Who's -- oh no not that paladin bitch."

Gamal-Junayd:"I still say...were the new crew. we elect a captain, perhaps Thomas over there, he can then command the spirit to drop the wards."

Sszeyl:"No."

Sszeyl:"The paladin bitch's nephew."

Gnogglebolt:"Well, at least the gem is portable. Bag it and let's go."

Miron:"Don't forget the ship."

Tathi:"No no no, this guy is not getting loose! Bag, now!"

Figurehead:"Wait wait wait wait waaaait!"

Thomas Lazarus:"He can have our captives, too."

Figurehead:"H-how's your dragon friend gonna find ya? Huh?"

Miron:"Let it burn."

Figurehead:"The ward's over the gem!"

Miron:"So?"

Miron:"We know where his home is."

* Thomas Lazarus turns back.

Figurehead:"Just lemme go and I'll be outta your hair!"

Gnogglebolt:"From what I understand."

Gnogglebolt:"If we put something in one of those magic bags, any effects are confined to them."

Gnogglebolt:"Tathi, ture or false?"

Thomas Lazarus:Seawolves collect.

Gnogglebolt:*true

Miron:"Like we believe you, hellborn shit."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Hy say ve let him out und, if he tries hennyddink, ve kan chust kill de fuck outta him."

Miron:"No."

Tathi:"If it is a bag of holding.. yes. Not all magical containers follow that rule."

Miron:"That'd be a moronic idea."

Thomas Lazarus:"No."

Gnogglebolt:"Okay. Ba--what?" o.o

Tathi:"But even with a bag of holding, you have to keep it closed."

Gnogglebolt:"No what?"

Figurehead:"Come onnnnnnnnn, I just wanna go hooooooooome."

Gamal-Junayd:"And..if he is evil, and doesn't try anything..he'd be free to plague others."

Miron:"We already got fucked once today, don't let it be twice."

Miron:"No releasing him."

Sszeyl:"Not yet, anyway."

Miron:"Not until Max sees the fuckery."

Thomas Lazarus:"It is a devilish spirit. It could be an arch-devil for all you know. They are cunning manipulators and must not be released into the mortal world."

Thomas Lazarus:"Do not do anything it asks."

Gnogglebolt:"...Oh, okay."

Gnogglebolt:"Right then. Bag. Now."

Shankfang the Deffrider:"Or, if dat bag uf holdink bit vorks, ve kan do dat. Hy hef vun right here." :3

Gnogglebolt:"Anyone?"

Figurehead:"Aren't you namby-pamby goody-two-shoes sorts supposed to help -- ?!"

Miron:"Once again, brother Thomas is right."

Tathi:BAG'D.

Miron:"No."

Shankfang the Deffrider:Bag presented!

Tathi:And drawstring drawn tight. :>

Sszeyl:"You will be free, eventually."

Miron:"I'm an inquisitor. We make a living dealing with shit like you"

Shankfang the Deffrider:Or not.

Sszeyl:"Just not now."

Gnogglebolt:"Alright."

Figurehead:Muffled swearing and curses upon you in Tiamat's name, swearing you'll be held in dungeons of eternal torment with his key.

Tathi:Tathi actually looks half shocked. "An infernal spirit!? Really!? What in the madness were they thinking!? Just the long-term implications alone.."

Dr. Hatari:Tee-hee

Miron:"And if you think we're supposed to help... go call the god of morons."

Sszeyl:"Eh."

Gnogglebolt:"Unfortunately, learning what tha thing is, we can't trust it's information actually corroborates the Vecnan's in regards to where the captives are."

Sszeyl:"It makes sense."

Gnogglebolt:"But, we have to find the island ward, too."

Sszeyl:"Adventurers like us would go out of our way to help a neutral or heavenly spirit. Except Miron, of course."

Gnogglebolt:"With any luck, they -will- have been telling the truth, and the two will be in the same place."

Sszeyl:"An infernal spirit will be assumed to deserve it."

GM:All right, here's a good place to wrap up for a while.

Miron:"What madness? Hellish spirits can be useful, if bound."

VAE:Indeed

* VAE needs to bloody pack up

GM:Let's wind down and get the last-minute noms out of the way, eh? :3

VAE:Also, ugh

Gnogglebolt:Gnogglebolt suddenly stares at Miron with the most enraged expression.

* Dr. Hatari still lulz at the pirate faces.

Meany:Now let's see...

Shankfang the Deffrider:Sounds good to me.

Gnogglebolt:Just before it fades away, and he looks back to Tathi.

Meany:Tathi for statue climbing.

Gnogglebolt:" 'A useful abomination is still an abomination'."

Shankfang the Deffrider:Agreed!

Gnogglebolt:"Right?"

Tathi:"Ignore him, Gnogglebolt. He's spewing lies just to try to contradict and bait me."

Miron:"An useful abomination beats one that's used against you any time."

Miron:"A thick hole needs a thick plug."

Tathi:She smirks. "They're not even useful. A willing and helpful elemental can provide four times the power."

Meany:Hmm.

Meany:Shankfang for Nice Guy.

TMG:...where did Thomas go?>

TMG:Again?

RAM:Gamal for "Fuck this. Knife."

Gamal-Junayd:shankfang for wanting to talk to swallowtail after the drows violence

Dr. Hatari:I'll nom Gamal for trying to help as peace arbiter. =w=;;

Miron:"You'd be surprised I have seen neat things done with this."

Meany:Thomas for DEVIIIIIIIILS.

Dr. Hatari:Thomas is just a few paces to the north.

Tathi:She holds up a finger in a teacher-manner. "If you ever chance across a stone elven castle, watch it. There's an earth elemental on guard."

TMG:Oh, there he is.

Gamal-Junayd:thomas for caring for the captives as everyone rushes for the gem

VAE:That was the most amusing spirit I seen in a while

Dr. Hatari:He assumed we were summoning Max soon.

VAE:nomming it

Dr. Hatari:But perhaps not.

VAE:Also... nomming the Vecnan

Dr. Hatari:Don't nom living enemies XD

VAE:He must have had a hell of a time looking at the group. I mean, not laughing

VAE:I don't care.

TMG:Tathi for Only One WHo Knew WHat Was Going On

VAE:It's another way of saying we failed horribly

Ghostwish:goddamn nomming the hell out of that vecnan. Fleeced the shit out of us he did. XD

Meany:Or rather.

VAE:Oh.. Miron knew too

Meany:\Only one who cared.

VAE:he just didn't want to say immediately

Liatai:And he really was about to tell you exactly how to free the spirit, too. :P

RAM:Seconding the Vecnan nom.

Ghostwish:And Liatai? You played him -perfectly-. Black cloak all the way. :P

VAE:He has a semblance of tactical discourse.. it's just the rage gets the better of him at times

VAE:That would be total win

VAE:freeing a devil to deal wit hus

VAE:*with us

Meany:Don't excpect this party to do productive things.

Gamal-Junayd:exactly

VAE:I love him already

Dr. Hatari:Urhg. Can we stop bickering over that already. It was pretty much a garaunteed no-win thanks to action economy procedure. :P

Meany:We do productive things when we want to.

Ghostwish:Hmmm.. actually.. no..

Meany:And not before.

Meany:=3=

Ghostwish:I think his plans went a lot, lot deeper.

Liatai:See? See? I told you he gave me plotbunnies. XD

Ghostwish:Plotsies. :>

RAM:Can I self-nom for -not- being the one to rush the Vecnan? *brick'd*

VAE:No

VAE:That was fail

VAE:In fact , I still regret not wracking him

VAE:Probably owuld have failed, given my luck

RAM:Fail for not attacking someone during negotiations?

VAE:but still would have been a lot less lame than this

Dr. Hatari:But action economy procedure.

Sszeyl:Today went better than expected.

VAE:No

RAM:What the fuck are you smoking?

Sszeyl:I got to kill lots of slavers.

VAE:You don't negotiate with Vecnans

Sszeyl:So yay.

Sszeyl::|

RAM:And why the hell aren't you sharing?

VAE:It's the "better dead than red" sort of thing

Dr. Hatari:Tathi decried us, but there was still nothing we could have done. =w=;

Gamal-Junayd:if he hadnt been able to swift action out of it...would of sliced him up heh

GM:Okay, any other noms?

VAE:If he hadn't been able to swift out

Ghostwish:Nomming gnogglebolt for helpful gnome. :>

Meany:I'm waiting for the obvious neganoms for killing that guy.

Meany::B

Ghostwish:(I hope your kinsman doesn't drive you to madness)

VAE:he wouldn't be standing there like a dick of a porn watcher.

VAE:nope

VAE:Miron doesn't care for that, and neither do I

TMG:(At this rate, he's getting close. :B)

Ghostwish:We'll never kill him.

Liatai:Truth be told, that guy was a red herring.

Ghostwish:He's going to have 15 more escape plans than infinity. :P

RAM:Shankfang doesn't care much, either.

Liatai:I thought for sure someone would go "DEATH KNELL FUEL RIGHT THERE."

Meany:Oh?

Dr. Hatari:lulz

Meany:Ah.

VAE:Heh

Ghostwish:And honestly?

VAE:If Igor evver gets into play

Ghostwish:I thought he had cloud of knives ready to go. :P

VAE:He'll have death knell at will at a time

RAM:Death Knell?

Ghostwish:The party all nice and lined up like that.. ohhh it would have been ugly.

* RAM does not know many magics.

Dr. Hatari:That's not how cloud of knives spreads, Ghost. :P

VAE:good luck doing it when blind and writhing on the floor

Meany:That's Wall of Blades you're thinking of.

RAM:Why do you think Shankfang decided to go tactical and went around the doorway for cover?

Meany::V

Ghostwish:Ah, thanks.

Ghostwish:Wall of knives, cloud of blades. CODZILLA. :P

Liatai:Basically, an Evl buff that kills a creature in the negatives and grants you enhancement bonuses.

Dr. Hatari:It would have proced our million readied actions.

Meany:Soul eating.

Meany:Yummy yummy.

RAM:Nasty.

Ghostwish:Yup. He readied first. XP

GM:Okay!

Ghostwish:He probably woke up and readied it that morning.

GM:Tathi - 200 XP - Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.

GM:Shankfang - 200 XP - Nice Guy.

GM:Gamal - 200 XP - Peace Arbiter.

GM:Gnogglebolt - 200 XP - Let's give him to the DRAGONS. >:D

RAM:31500.

VAE:wait, no

VAE:that was Thomas

RAM:4500 to level 9! :D

TMG:Wait, does Tatho's nom mean the same one I gave? "Only one who knew what was going on?" Actually, I'd give two separate noms for both figuring out the Vecnan AND the figurehead

Dr. Hatari:Ehn.

VAE:Thomas and Miron suggested it at the same time

VAE:Thomas to Max, Miron to Salishea

TMG:...and didn't ghost nom me for helpful gnome? :B

GM:I may be misremembering. =w=;

TMG:Oh well.

GM:Okay, who's level what now?

VAE:that was a spite nom ,as opposed to other gnome being unhelpful

VAE:8

Meany:8.

Shankfang the Deffrider:8

Thomas Lazarus:9.

TMG:« 30350+200 = 30350 + 200 = 30550 ». Gnogglebolt is level 8.

Ghostwish:waiting on combat xp. should be enough to level.

Gamal-Junayd:8

Shankfang the Deffrider:Lucky bastard, Thomas. So jealous.

Ghostwish:8

GM:If you're level 9, gain 1300 XP. If you're level 8, you gain 1850. Lower than that, you gain 2000.

Thomas Lazarus:Lucky nothing. I've been within a stone's throw of leveling for a month now. XP

TMG:« 30550+1850 = 30550 + 1850 = 32400 »

Thomas Lazarus:Lia holding me back for balance.

Meany:« 32970+1850 = 32970 + 1850 = 34820 »

Shankfang the Deffrider:33350 nao!

VAE:31805

Shankfang the Deffrider:2650 left!

Gamal-Junayd:Another combat session and we'll probably see more people leveling

Meany:Woot.

Meany:1.2k.

Shankfang the Deffrider:Meany's real close, too.

Shankfang the Deffrider:He'll prolly level next combat, yeah.

Meany:Eh.

Meany:Doesn't matter.

Ghostwish:Ding. Hello loremaster. ^_^

Meany:I don't level until we get back to Resca.

VAE:XP saved

VAE:One last note lia

Ghostwish:And Aelian repays his death level. Is he back to being two under Tathi again?

VAE:because am gonna shower and stuff

VAE:If we ever meet the cleric again

Meany:Tathi's at 9, Aeliian is at 5...

Liatai:Wrack and don't let him open his mouth, got it. :P

Meany::B

VAE:And full on with wrack and whatever else it takes

Ghostwish:he's vecnan. You don't catch him. :P

VAE:Miron is only burned like this once XD

Gamal-Junayd:I can agree with that. evil cleric sighted, time to blade dance him into the ground

VAE:To be honest, I was thinking the guy is an illusion.

Dr. Hatari:You can while he's flat-footed. :P

Ghostwish:if he keeps going after a vecnan, he's gonna be char broiled. XD

Meany:Are we done?

Ghostwish:STOP IT BRAIN
