Chat History with antiGnomialism (#zemeister/$andrewdvincent;880e987877943f23)

Created on 2007-09-13 22:11:59.

God: 18:12:00: Oryndiel is just faffing with potato management
Ryu: 18:12:16: those potatoes are troublesome
God: 18:12:19: so while he is up and about in the fields, why don't one of you worthies recap the situation for Lotho's pleasure?
God: 18:12:29: Ryu, do you remember anything of our last session?
Ryu: 18:12:31: We kicked butt
God: 18:12:41: (mooning)
Ryu: 18:12:50: using a combo of tactics and incendiary persuasions
God: 18:12:54: (ninja)
God: 18:13:00: on whom, Ryu?
Ryu: 18:13:05: let's see. We killed two trolls
Ryu: 18:13:14: by luring one into the storeroom
Ryu: 18:13:18: and roasting the other
God: 18:13:22: Lotho: do you remember any of the circumstances of this adventure?
Ryu: 18:13:24: actually, the idea was Andrews
Ryu: 18:13:32: spiders
Tint: 18:13:42: Ory
Ryu: 18:13:48: Ory
Ryu: 18:13:50: sorry
Ryu: 18:13:52: o rly?
God: 18:14:10: Ory
Ryu: 18:14:26: someone was speaking to the spiders
Ryu: 18:14:34: about where they all came from/
Ryu: 18:14:36: ?
Lotho: 18:14:51: um, something about trecherous elves and a dark cheif and ... orcs
Lotho: 18:15:04: :P
God: 18:15:08: yes
Lotho: 18:15:11: wow, big spiders?
God: 18:15:13: anyone care to elaborate on that?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:15:30: all I remember is that I ballsed-up in true poncy style, and got a damn good thrashing by orc-face. Or some such.
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:15:33: Spider riders?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:15:39: Orcies were riding arachnids.
Ryu: 18:15:45: "spider's burden"
Ryu: 18:15:56: came from some mountains somewhere and I have a very poor grasp of geography
God: 18:16:02: Ryu is remembering the Orcish name for Spider riders
God: 18:16:10: fuck...
Ryu: 18:16:24: the shamans came from down below apparently?
God: 18:16:28: any other fragments of memory occurring to any of you?
Ryu: 18:16:29: I forget their tribal names
Lotho: 18:16:39: do we still have those dunlendings?
Ryu: 18:16:44: we captured one of the orc leaders
God: 18:16:45: yes
God: 18:16:48: yes
Tint: 18:16:50: Broken Teeth plans an advance deeper into the Mountains, and demands more outposts from which to watch his territories. The biggest threat for armies heading skirting the Dagger Peaks to the East lies in the home of the Skalds of Stone. Though it has no underground entrance, it would make a fine addition to the Jaws. Prepare an assault, to be mounted using your forces. These skalds are stronger than those defeated to make your own nest, and will be a great challenge, so I advise surprise. Should you defeat them your glory will be great! Send me a letter under your seal when the task is done, and I will send a force of Ogres, Svelbards and Orcs to serve there under YOUR command.
Tint: 18:17:03: ""
Ryu: 18:17:07: yea what he said
God: 18:17:19: guys that was the text of a letter you found
God: 18:17:22: I shall recap now
God: 18:17:36: you have explored more of the upper part of the orc nest
God: 18:17:39: (teh above ground part)
God: 18:17:55: killed the Trolls in the centre room and the shamans on the western half of the building
God: 18:18:07: these shamen were an easy battle due to a flamestrike by Drake
Ryu: 18:18:24: the old star trek "prisoner" trick as well
God: 18:18:26: (who incidentally is copmletely out of magic power and has retired to the entrance, leaving Lotho to take over)
God: 18:18:31: that's right Ryu
Lotho: 18:18:57: oh, so we're in the middle of something
God: 18:18:57: after you killed the shamen you were attacked by a large force of spider-riding Orcs ("svelbards") who you also slaughtered with fire
God: 18:19:07: yes Lotho
Tint: 18:19:09: and grease
God: 18:19:15: still in the Orc nest
Ryu: 18:19:28: weren't we deciding whether to retreat or go on?
Lotho: 18:19:28: mmk
God: 18:19:31: that's right Tint, one of Ryu's better moments (greasy bastards these easterlings...)
Ryu: 18:19:44: gee, thanks God.
God: 18:19:45: yes
God: 18:20:12: you captured an Orc Svelbard and tortured him into revealing stuff
God: 18:20:19: specifically!
God: 18:20:38: 1) the Orcs nest is run by an Orc chieftain who serves a greater chieftain, "Broken Teeth"
God: 18:21:12: 2) the Orc chieftain here is told what to do by this "Broken Teeth" by a Shaman (now dead!) who reperesents the leader "Broken Teeth"
God: 18:21:36: 3) this shaman is part of a tribe of Shamen called the "Broken Teeth" tribe, which is free-floating - i.e. it has no allegiances to any real actual tribes
God: 18:21:39: it is a meta-tribe
God: 18:21:45: consisting only of shamen
Ryu: 18:21:53: I'm still thinking they only lived underground
God: 18:22:03: 4) the nest you are at is used as a base for raids into the dunlending kingdom
God: 18:22:07: aboveground raids
God: 18:22:16: in the raids they capture food, slaves and treasure
God: 18:22:26: the slaves are turned into undead warriors BUT NOT HERE
God: 18:22:38: they are sent somewhere, animated, and shipped around to various nests as needed
God: 18:23:10: 5) supplies, undead and slaves are shipped around through a network of tunnels OUTSIDE this nest, mostly by Goblin caravans
Lotho: 18:23:26: and it's only the shamen who can control them?
God: 18:23:36: 6) you have no idea WHY this new level of Orcish coordination is happening
God: 18:23:52: lotho: it seems like the Orc tribes all work to a common purpose now, and are told what to do by the shamen
God: 18:24:14: this might pass as "control" but it probably relies on the person behind it all being able to kill any chieftain who doesn't do what he is told
God: 18:24:33: there is no word in the Orcish language for "law"
God: 18:24:54: just a kind of verb which might mean "being administered a law" or "administering a law to someone"
Ryu: 18:25:20: or "obey or die"
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:25:25: so, do the orc tribes control the undead, or the shamen?
God: 18:25:34: ory: the shamen do
God: 18:25:53: they are placed in the tribes to support their activities
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:26:56: oh yeah, and the Skalds of Stone mentioined in the letter are big gianty things, who we could persuade to fight with us, if I remember rightly.
God: 18:27:20: that's right Oryndiel
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:27:26: I think we were deciding whether to head over into giant territory?
God: 18:27:34: does anyone remember the full interpretation of that letter?
Ryu: 18:27:58: whoops, time to go to the kitchen
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:28:09: the recipient of said letter is dead now?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:28:13: or our prisoner?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:28:16: or some such.
Tint Whistler: 18:28:27: Broken teeth were going to attack the Skalds of Stone
God: 18:28:38: (dead I think Ory)
Tint Whistler: 18:28:56: Did we capture one of the riders?
God: 18:29:05: that's right Tint, Broken Teeth wanted the shaman to attack the Skalds of Stone and capture their castle as a new nest
God: 18:29:18: once the castle is captured more soldiers will be sent to populate it
God: 18:29:23: Tint: I think you captured a rider
God: 18:29:47: so
Tint Whistler: 18:29:48: We did have a sharman as well I think - he was trying to cast something, but had his mouth full of Hand
Ryu: 18:29:49: is Tint a new character or playing Drake?
God: 18:29:54: that's right
Tint Whistler: 18:29:58: Tint is Tint
God: 18:29:59: Ryu: Tint is a new character not yet joined in
God: 18:30:01: more on that later
Ryu: 18:30:06: ok
God: 18:30:10: for now pretend he is the voice of last week or soemthing
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:30:18: Christmas Past!
God: 18:30:21: so your choices at teh moment were something like:
Lotho: 18:30:22: so we want to get to the skalds of stone before they do?
God: 18:30:29: 1) go to the giants
God: 18:30:33: 2) continue looting this joint
God: 18:30:46: 3) head down to find out what's going on down below (there are slaves down there after all)
God: 18:30:50: 4) bugger off home
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:30:56: lotho: I think so, and befriend the giants (which could be challenging but not imposs)
God: 18:31:02: 1) can be subdivided into two options: befriend the giants or kill the fuckers
God: 18:31:32: but before you get to fully decide this, while you are standing over the letter in the shaman's room, you hear a grunting sound and some banging sounds from in the next room
God: 18:31:44: the next room is the stairwell from which the Spider Riders emerged
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:31:59: "Dearie me, what is that loud banging?"
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:32:15: Check check?
God: 18:32:31: this is the room in the southern wall of the room you are in
God: 18:32:37: it contains the stairs leading down into the darkness
God: 18:32:43: do you want to go look?
Ryu: 18:33:13: what do you reckon guys? We'd send off the weasel I'd imagine....
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:33:36: (psst - I think we should look. Maybe Tint is involved?)
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:33:41: Shall I ready the ferret?
Tint Whistler: 18:33:50: Mghmm...hhlpp…
Lotho: 18:34:14: mm, look
Tint Whistler: 18:34:14: <clatter>
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:34:16: /me's ferret gives Ryu a sharp look at the mention of the "W" word
Ryu: 18:34:24: Ferret... weasel...
God: 18:34:33: checks /mein
God: 18:34:37: right
God: 18:34:43: so you gonna send the weasel?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:34:46: pfffft! Shall I send in long whiskers?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:34:51: OK - off he goes
God: 18:34:54: right
God: 18:35:08: the Ferret creeps to the room entrance and looks inside
Tint Whistler: 18:35:11: Mghmm...hhlpp…
Tint Whistler: 18:35:30: Baghh…
God: 18:35:32: besides the stairs down, there is nothing visible here except a naked gnome, tied and gagged, and slung in the corner on a kind of raised plinth
God: 18:35:50: the plinth is edged with metal spikes, so everytime he bangs too excessively he cuts himself
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:35:50: 's ferret sniffs about the gnomy form (but not too closely!)
God: 18:36:03: the gnomy form smells bad
Tint Whistler: 18:36:05: BAGHH....
God: 18:36:07: it is a bit the worse for wear too
God: 18:36:16: bruised, hairy and a bit cut
Tint Whistler: 18:36:18: MGHMM...
God: 18:36:28: what do y ou do?
Tint Whistler: 18:36:37: <strugling to get away from the weasel>
God: 18:36:58: just a mo kids, Oryndiel is answering the door
Lotho: 18:37:09: weasel gonna tell us it's safe to go in?
God: 18:37:28: this is a gnome in full clothing:
God: 18:37:30: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG131.jpg
God: 18:37:31: btw
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:38:03: 's ferret is getting rather shirty by now and glares about with eyes bulging at such overuse of the "W" word.
God: 18:38:12: heh
Ryu: 18:38:38: I should try not to confuse gnomes and gobblies
Lotho: 18:38:46: aw, cute. is it shorter than me?
God: 18:38:47: good idea Ryu
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:38:48: Ferretty features reports there's a butt naked gnome inside, and it ain't pretty.
Ryu: 18:38:51: who can check for traps?
God: 18:38:55: Lotho can
Lotho: 18:38:58: *hands up*
Tint Whistler: 18:38:59: sent file "PHB35_PG27_WEB.jpg" to members of this chat
Ryu: 18:39:01: should we?
God: 18:39:25: gonna do that Lotho?
Ryu: 18:39:28: hehe - Tint's version is better
Lotho: 18:39:32: 27 spot check
God: 18:39:57: Lotho, it's search
Lotho: 18:40:10: bah
God: 18:40:15: btw Lotho, ah, dunno how to break ths to you, but the gnome is slightly larger than you
Lotho: 18:40:22: same then
God: 18:40:24: taller, less hair, maybe not so bulky around the middle
God: 18:40:26: right
Lotho: 18:40:27: can i use the same roll ?:)
God: 18:40:29: there are no traps
God: 18:40:34: (yes)
Lotho: 18:40:36: bugger :/
God: 18:40:42: the only trap here is the potential conversation with a gnome
God: 18:40:52: do you free him?
Lotho: 18:40:53: is that ominous?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:40:56: senses tension.
Tint Whistler: 18:40:57: mghjhdd.... hhlllpp...
God: 18:40:57: drag him out of the stairwell?
Ryu: 18:41:02: let's go free 'im
God: 18:41:07: right
God: 18:41:09: you free him
Tint Whistler: 18:41:15: sigh...
Lotho: 18:41:16: if i didn't know it was andrew i'd probably say slaughter it :P
Tint Whistler: 18:41:18: thank you
God: 18:41:22: heh
God: 18:41:25: always the charmer
God: 18:41:31: short man syndrome strikes again...
Lotho: 18:41:51: (mooning)
God: 18:41:53: (Andrew: until your stuff is recovered, you are butt naked. can you send me your character sheet please?)
Ryu: 18:42:13: I'm guessing his stuff isn't in the same room.
God: 18:42:14: I mean buck naked
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:42:15: hastily covers the gnome with his spare Versace cloak.
God: 18:42:16: no
God: 18:42:20: heh
Ryu: 18:42:27: sounds like a porn star name: Buck Naked
God: 18:42:29: also Andrew you will have no special items
Tint Whistler: 18:42:33: many thanks :)
God: 18:42:51: so does anyone want to ask this short fella what he is doing trussed up like a (small) pig?
God: 18:42:54: in an Orc den?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:42:59: "No trouble, friend. What happened here?"
Tint Whistler: 18:43:40: Fucked over by some stupid orcs down stairs
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:43:51: "Gosh!"
God: 18:43:53: ... very eloquent... must be a barbarian...
Ryu: 18:43:55: he's got a mouth, this one.
Tint Whistler: 18:44:04: How was I to know that they were hanging on the ceiling
Ryu: 18:44:28: You mean, the spider riders. What were they going to do to you?
Tint Whistler: 18:44:38: Probably dinner
God: 18:44:48: (Andrew: they were going to "question" you)
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:45:07: "What brought you to the castle?"
Ryu: 18:45:08: "Sorry? I didn't hear that."
Tint Whistler: 18:45:12: but you never know, maybe some friendly torture
Ryu: 18:45:47: so where did they get you?
Tint Whistler: 18:46:21: Ahh... well now, since you ask about my presence. I found this fantastic little map with a big X (ie treasure)
Tint Whistler: 18:46:30: However it's with my clothes.
Tint Whistler: 18:46:44: Hmm... perhaps you could help me find said clothes?
Tint Whistler: 18:46:53: (angel)
Lotho: 18:47:11: where did youlastsee them?
Tint Whistler: 18:47:29: <good question>
God: 18:47:41: Tint doesn't know exactly but he thinks just north of the room you are in
Tint Whistler: 18:47:42: Scratches head
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:47:48: perhaps these were the spider-riders we squished.
Tint Whistler: 18:47:57: North... I think
God: 18:48:03: in that direction there is a room with some more shamans, maybe a hidden shrine, and the lead shaman's room
Lotho: 18:48:05: so why would we want to risk orcs for some gnome clothes?
God: 18:48:23: (they won't fit Lotho, after all... too big...)
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:48:24: especially when he's decked out in my best designer wear?
Tint Whistler: 18:48:36: (flex)
Ryu: 18:48:57: how are we all looking in terms of HP, MP?
Tint Whistler: 18:48:59: How can I put this. The lead Sharman is (was) rich.
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:49:16: HP Sauce? Ran out months back, according to the kitty.
Lotho: 18:49:26: ah, so your clothes ar ekeeping treasre company?
God: 18:49:34: (Ryu: just how you were last time, no changes from teh end of last session. I trust you have been keeping track...?)
Ryu: 18:49:59: (God: just wondering if the others are fine enough to go on just in case)
God: 18:50:19: (Lotho at least is in near perfect condition)
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:50:20: I have 17 bottles of HP. This enough?
Tint Whistler: 18:50:23: Well we could look for both at the same time? ;)
Ryu: 18:50:52: I'm going to drink a potion now since I seem to have only 19health points left.
God: 18:50:56: Also Tint has some information about the lower levels...
God: 18:51:08: ... and beyond...
God: 18:51:36: Ory: 17 bottles of HP will probably get you killed. But you never have enough bottles, so I wouldn't fuss
Tint Whistler: 18:51:49: Ahh... yes, along with my clothes was an almost complete map of this nest and surroundings. Could this interest you?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:51:55: I will look for a reviving potion or smelling salts then ...
Ryu: 18:52:09: how on earth did you come to possess such a map?
Tint Whistler: 18:53:20: Ahh... well many moons ago I stumbled upon a rumour of an ancient treasure, and well I've been searching ever since.
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:53:23: using potion of light wounds
Tint Whistler: 18:54:00: However I obviously can't look after myself, so perhaps you'd allow me to accompany you for a while?
Lotho: 18:54:20: mm, so do we trust the gnome?
Ryu: 18:54:29: grunts his assent
Tint Whistler: 18:54:43: I have some small skill with words and song. I could be useful from time to time.
God: 18:54:50: Ryu, Ory, any opinions?
Tint Whistler: 18:54:50: (angel)
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:55:55: Skill with words and song? What is your weapons specialty?
Ryu: 18:56:28: Well, I don't think we should leave someone defenceless here.
Tint Whistler: 18:56:54: Weapons, bah... far too crude. Listen to this <cast summon instrument> and plays
Tint Whistler: 18:57:05: (music)
God: 18:57:07: you summoned an instrument?
Tint Whistler: 18:57:12: Tin whistle
Tint Whistler: 18:57:23: <bard 0th level>
God: 18:57:24: Andrew: make a perform skill check
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:57:29: Does you song have enchantment capabilities?
Tint Whistler: 18:57:44: 25
God: 18:57:54: everyone, that little song was very impressive
Lotho: 18:57:59: can i detect alignment?
God: 18:58:07: Lotho: yes
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:58:17: * applause * (clap)
God: 18:58:18: Tint: you gonna answer Ory's question?
Tint Whistler: 18:58:19: (music)(music)(music)
God: 18:58:50: Lotho: did you cast detect alignment?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 18:58:55: Like the Pied Piper, or something?
Tint Whistler: 18:59:22: Well if I play in G major you will feel great, and if I play in C minor you will feel somewhat distracted. You get the idea
Lotho: 18:59:23: i'm looking for it
God: 18:59:35: Lotho: you definitely have it
God: 18:59:42: no need to look, just tell me if you want to
Lotho: 18:59:57: how many pts is it?
God: 19:01:28: now I can't find it either Lotho, just a sec
Lotho: 19:01:40: nm, prolly a waste of time anywya
God: 19:01:45: in the meantime, Tint why don't you explain your skills a little more fully
Tint Whistler: 19:02:27: Sure... I'm a bard. I play music for a living, and live to play.
Lotho: 19:03:02: so why you interested in treasure maps?
Tint Whistler: 19:03:12: I can do a few illusions and enchantments, and stuff.
Tint Whistler: 19:03:37: Oh and I'm pretty
God: 19:03:45: Lotho: you don't have it, but "Augury" will tell you if helping him is a bad or good action. 2pps
God: 19:03:58: also everyone knows: bards are into uncovering lost magic and ancient items
God: 19:04:05: they like tracing down legends and teh like
Tint Whistler: 19:04:08: oops I'm pretty good at finding out stuff from people (if I want).
God: 19:04:18: also everyone knows gnomes are insatiably curious
God: 19:04:40: so do you take him on?
Tint Whistler: 19:04:50: Ahh... I love history. Did you know in 2208 the elves from the north had a dog as a leader!
Lotho: 19:04:52: mmk, augury then. which skill?
God: 19:05:01: lotho non
God: 19:05:07: none, you just cast it
Lotho: 19:05:18: casts it
God: 19:05:18: result: taking Tint on would be a definitely good action
God: 19:05:36: as in good for you (not good-as-opposite-of-evil)
Tint Whistler: 19:05:49: It was an unfortunate accident of the high priest misreading his tea leaves
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:05:57: Well, let's give him a group hug, then!
Tint Whistler: 19:06:03: (hug)
God: 19:06:05: of course, not everyone trusts auguries from the god of luck...
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:06:11: Awwww!
Tint Whistler: 19:06:16: Hmm... hugs not so good when naked
God: 19:06:19: so do you head North to find his items?
Tint Whistler: 19:06:23: Yay!
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:06:40: Shall I unleash ferret features to steal along the Northern corridors?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:06:59: He's cleaning his whiskers as I speak.
Ryu: 19:07:06: make it so Numba One.
God: 19:07:11: okay...
God: 19:07:14: before you do...
Tint Whistler: 19:07:17: <stu - I don't have MP for my char yet>
God: 19:07:21: I shall just explain some useful information
God: 19:07:26: (Tint: send me the sheet!)
Tint Whistler: 19:07:36: I have by email
God: 19:07:48: (your PPs are: (level-1)*3+cha bonus)
God: 19:07:54: right
God: 19:07:55: first,
God: 19:08:25: 1) gnomes live mostly underground, near the surface of mountains and hills. However, they are a semi-nomadic people and frequently retreat deep underground depending on their circumstances
God: 19:08:39: they have no proper kingdom of their own, but wnader in small bands
God: 19:08:52: occasionally tehy settle down in small groups to form little underground towns
God: 19:09:07: they don't usually farm or work as labourers, but are technologists, adventurers and engineers
God: 19:09:24: often they are employed temporaritly by otehr underground races as managers, designers and engineers
God: 19:09:39: for this they riival teh Dwarves, but have more of the aesthetic style of elves, adn more interest in magic
God: 19:09:52: they are renowned for tehir powers of illusion and trickery, and insatiabel curiousity
Tint Whistler: 19:09:59: magic - bah - music is the essence of life
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:10:03: (are they greedy for treasure like the dwarves?)
God: 19:10:27: legend has it that once they had a great underground kingdom, and were cast out of it by their evil cousins the svirfneblin (deep gnomes) but even may gnomes dispute this legend
Tint Whistler: 19:10:32: Greed? Hmm... Elves are also less than sharing
God: 19:10:43: Ory: greedy for interesting treasure, and magical treasure, and devices
God: 19:10:47: not so much for plain money
God: 19:11:20: the gnomes are otherwise little known, and although they occasionally worked as siege engineers on both sides of the war of the ring, stayed mostly out of it, as did the races of the Underdark....
God: 19:11:23: which brings us to
Tint Whistler: 19:11:25: Besides, who's going to classify someone by their race? We're all open minded demi-humans
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:11:29: (right-tee-ho - just checking. Aye, especially when it comes to hair accessories, Tint)
God: 19:11:51: 2) the lands under Middle Earth, and particularly under the Misty Mountains, are riddled with catacombs and hidden kingdoms
God: 19:12:01: these go down very very deep
God: 19:12:11: the top is occupied primarily by Dwarves adn Goblinoids
God: 19:12:19: this area is called the "Sunshield"
God: 19:12:44: beneath this is a large contested and generally unoccupied area called "the Shadereefs"
God: 19:12:56: this area is largely a system of interconnected tunnels of various sizes
God: 19:13:00: also some underground lakes and seas
God: 19:13:15: these are used as transit systems by all the races who live beneath the earth
God: 19:13:26: sometimes some tunnels are laid claim to and protected by kingdoms or races
God: 19:13:38: but generally one only travels the Shadereefs in numbers or strength
God: 19:14:02: beneath this is teh deepest layer, the "Underdark", which consists of a series of kingdoms ruled by different races, just like the surface is
God: 19:14:08: these races are mostly evil and always at war
God: 19:14:25: they rarely come up beyond the shadereefs except to capture slaves
God: 19:14:41: Lotho and Ryu met one denizen of hte Underdark - a mind flayer- in the far North of Middle Earth
God: 19:14:52: Gandalf met another denizen - a Balrog - in the first book of LoTR
God: 19:15:31: it appears that the Orcs and their "Broken Teeth" leader are travelling mostly in the Sunshield, but their longer, larger tunnels are in the Shadereefs
God: 19:15:40: therefore they use goblin caravans, i.e. they travel in force
God: 19:15:55: there are rumours of many great and interesting things in teh Underdark
God: 19:16:01: glittering cities made entirely of gems
God: 19:16:18: caverns so large they contain land and oceans of their own, and sightless dragons fly over underground mountains there
God: 19:16:32: whole realms populated by Demons like the Balrog
God: 19:16:49: huge and ancient creatures which do not even have a word in tehir strange languages which means "light"
God: 19:17:12: it would appear that Tint has been to both teh Shadereef and the Underdark in his travels, though only briefly
God: 19:17:50: Also Tint has a map of the area immediately around this Orc nest, including entries into the Shadereef and teh Underdark, and the major (and safer) cavern-routes through teh Shadereef
God: 19:18:01: ... which are probably also the routes used by the Goblins...
God: 19:18:11: Anyway, that's all the info you need on that
God: 19:18:17: we may now return to the adventure at hand
Tint Whistler: 19:18:41: Yes, having introduced myself, who may you be?
God: 19:18:50: (oh and I should note here that your adventuring plans can now diverge from those I originally set. particularly, you are welcome to bugger off into the Underdark and make plans of your own - you don't have to stick around in Eregion)
God: 19:19:04: while you guys introduce yourselves I'll get a drink
Ryu: 19:19:44: Ryu, Easterling, simple monk.
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:20:03: Hail Tint! I am Oryndiel, a Poncy Elf from Mirkwood.
God: 19:20:50: Lotho?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:21:06: He *always* takes so long on the lav.
Lotho: 19:21:09: heh
God: 19:21:27: Lotho, introduce yourself!
Lotho: 19:21:28: Lotho, Hobbit theif-cleric
God: 19:21:30: (pooh)
Tint Whistler: 19:21:33: I be very pleased to meet you all (especially if you can help me find my clothes). (sun)
Lotho: 19:21:37: (bear)
God: 19:21:39: (just checking if htere is a poo icon)
God: 19:21:46: right, so you head up North?
God: 19:21:52: I am going to send you all a map of this level
Lotho: 19:21:53: mmk
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:22:06: Bugger, there isn't a clothes icon either. But you could wear this envelope (e)
Ryu: 19:22:06: grunts his assent
God: 19:22:11: sent file Hill Giant Map1.jpg to members of this chat
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:22:33: The file from God failed!
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:22:36: hee hee hee!
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:22:42: that message was strangely amusing.
God: 19:22:44: sorry folks it's big
God: 19:22:49: I'll just try again
God: 19:22:52: sorry it's a bit big
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:22:54: That's what you say to all the heathens.
Tint Whistler: 19:23:09: Ory: You also didn't get my picy (neither did Lotho). It might be due to your settings
God: 19:23:10: sent file Hill Giant Map1.jpg to members of this chat
God: 19:23:32: this is the same file again, don't accept it if you already have it!
God: 19:24:19: right so that is a map of the level of the castle you are on, carved onto the table by Tint
Tint Whistler: 19:24:36: Very handy with a dagger.
God: 19:25:25: If you go out teh other door in the south of the room you are in, it opens into a North-South corridor. Directly across from it is a door. this opens into Greymoon the Shaman's personal chambers
God: 19:25:53: At the North end of the corridor is a doorway to the dormitory of the remaining Broken Teeth shamen
God: 19:26:00: it also has a doorway to their shrine
Tint Whistler: 19:26:26: and my clothes (I hope)
God: 19:26:35: for those of you with the map already, Greymoon's room is 21
God: 19:26:55: the shaman dorm is room 19 and their shrine is room 20
God: 19:26:58: currently you are in room 18
God: 19:27:07: (on the Western side of the building)
God: 19:27:15: Tint was trussed up in 18A, the stairwell
God: 19:27:43: the rooms South of where you are now are all Orc guardrooms - a total of maybe 20 Orcs
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:27:48: Greymoon's the shaman we squished, right?
God: 19:27:52: yep
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:28:06: his room will be safe to enter first then
God: 19:28:12: For other points of reference - the Trolls were in room 11
God: 19:28:24: ory: probably correct
Ryu: 19:29:37: So. Let's go?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:29:50: Greymoon's room first stop?
Ryu: 19:30:08: okie
Lotho: 19:30:15: k
Tint Whistler: 19:30:25: Good for me. kk
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:31:09: it's a short distance between doors 18 and 21, but I'll get ferrety to check coast is clear
God: 19:31:33: ferrety sneaks out and sniffs about - no sign of any trouble, the doors at both ends of the corridor are closed.
God: 19:31:42: Do you wander across to teh door to the Shaman's room?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:32:01: do traps check in front of the door before going in
Ryu: 19:32:04: yep
God: 19:32:14: Lotho, do it
God: 19:32:15: search check
God: 19:32:23: Andrew: Tint should have 24 Pps from my calculations
Lotho: 19:32:48: 16
Tint Whistler: 19:32:51: < It's fair to assume I'm on 0pps now and say half hp>
Tint Whistler: 19:33:03: < Perhaps a couple of songs left in the bag >
God: 19:33:15: <no: you are on full Pps and half hp>
God: 19:33:22: <and all your songs fine>
God: 19:33:25: Lotho: no traps
God: 19:33:31: do you open the door?
Lotho: 19:33:51: yup
God: 19:34:04: okay you open the door to reveal a large room
God: 19:34:31: It's l-shaped, as you can see, 60' long by 30' wide, 40' wide where you enter
God: 19:34:50: there is a large bed, a large bench, some chests, and a couple of animal skins
God: 19:34:53: also a weapon rack
God: 19:35:03: no-one is in here
God: 19:35:07: what do you do?
Tint Whistler: 19:35:12: my clothes?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:35:14: Search room. Someone keep watch on the door.
God: 19:35:19: who watches?
Ryu: 19:35:29: Do we have any underlings left?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:35:29: Me
God: 19:35:34: Tint: can't see your clothes
God: 19:35:36: Ryu: we do
God: 19:35:48: you search the room and don't find anything interesting
God: 19:35:55: there are 3 chests
God: 19:35:59: do you search them?
Tint Whistler: 19:36:05: Yup
Lotho: 19:36:07: after checking for traps
Tint Whistler: 19:36:11: detect magic
God: 19:36:15: Lotho, do a search check
God: 19:36:20: Tint: from outside, no magic
Lotho: 19:36:23: 20
God: 19:36:36: Lotho: the first chest (the biggest and best looking one) is trapped
Lotho: 19:36:46: can i untrap it?
God: 19:36:49: a nasty little knife blade which will flick out from the handle
God: 19:36:50: yes
God: 19:36:55: do a disable device check
Lotho: 19:38:05: 15
God: 19:38:12: Lotho: you can't disable it
Tint Whistler: 19:38:40: Is it locked?
God: 19:38:42: you can try opening it anyway, and hope to dodge the blade when it comes out
God: 19:38:45: Tint: no
Lotho: 19:38:47: well, i know its there, can i open it with a stick or something so the stick gets knifed?
God: 19:38:48: just trapped
God: 19:38:54: Lotho, no
God: 19:39:01: it's a delicate opening mechanism
Tint Whistler: 19:39:07: Can I open it with an openning spell
God: 19:39:11: maybe a levitate spell would work
Lotho: 19:39:19: bugger, k, i'll open it (is it lethal or just crippeling?)
God: 19:39:24: (Ithink that is 0 level for Ory, Ryu and Tint)
God: 19:39:27: Lotho
God: 19:39:30: looks very small
God: 19:39:38: even a halfling should be safe
Tint Whistler: 19:39:42: Cast open - standing well back
God: 19:39:50: (sorry boys, not levitate, telekinesis)
God: 19:39:55: Tint: wait, I'll check that spell
God: 19:40:31: that will work Tint
Tint Whistler: 19:40:57: Lotho, care to step back?
God: 19:40:58: Ryu and Ory you also have that spell - it is a 0 level spell
Lotho: 19:41:03: yup
God: 19:41:07: (just for future reference)
Tint Whistler: 19:41:13: Casting...
God: 19:41:29: Tint, can I just be told your orientation relative to the chest - are you on the front or one of the sides?
Tint Whistler: 19:42:01: To the front max dist
God: 19:42:08: okay
God: 19:42:17: and where, just out of interest, are the rest of you standing?
God: 19:42:21: on the front or sides of the chest?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:42:26: I'm at the door
God: 19:42:35: yep
Ryu: 19:42:37: I'm outside
God: 19:42:45: is that so Ryu?
Lotho: 19:42:48: on top of the chest!
God: 19:42:59: okay
Lotho: 19:43:04: (or maybe another one) *shrugs*
Tint Whistler: 19:43:05: Lotho that will make it difficult to open
God: 19:43:15: Lotho is standing on the other chest?
God: 19:43:33: (God I am so tempted to include an incendiary chest trap!)
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:43:41: deathly cleavage!
Tint Whistler: 19:43:55: bursting to get free
God: 19:44:05: so the chest springs open at Tint's spell
Lotho: 19:44:19: yes, other one
God: 19:44:47: two tiny darts fly out of each side of the chest at about knee height, one burying itself into the wood of the chest on which Lotho is standing and one shattering on the wall just past the door, where Ory is standing
God: 19:45:06: from the front of the chest a 3" knife flicks out in a scything motion as the cover raises
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:45:06: Eesh, that was close!
Tint Whistler: 19:45:13: Lotho I thought you said that was a blade trap!
God: 19:45:22: the knife and the dart in the chest beneath Lotho are dripping with poison
God: 19:45:25: Tint: it was
God: 19:45:31: but with a little extra punch
Tint Whistler: 19:45:40: jees
Ryu: 19:45:41: I'm glad I stood outside the room now
God: 19:45:44: that's 250 xps each
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:45:57: Hee hee - but there must be something most precioussssssssss inside!
Tint Whistler: 19:46:06: my clothes?
Ryu: 19:46:17: maybe they're pervy gnome fanciers?
God: 19:46:18: inside is a collection of leather bags, containing a total of 5000sps, 210 pps and 3 potion bottles
Ryu: 19:46:21: sniffing the clothes?
God: 19:46:27: no clothes for Tint
Tint Whistler: 19:46:38: <sigh>
God: 19:46:40: gonna look in the next chest?
Lotho: 19:46:43: yup
Ryu: 19:46:46: what are the potions?
God: 19:46:49: gonna check for traps?
Lotho: 19:46:52: emma keeping treasure?
Lotho: 19:46:54: yup
God: 19:46:55: Ryu: wanna cast identify?
Lotho: 19:46:59: 21
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:47:03: aye
God: 19:47:04: no traps
Ryu: 19:47:08: maybe after we open everything.
God: 19:47:09: not locked, do you open it?
Lotho: 19:47:21: yup
God: 19:47:30: inside are spare clothes for the Orc
God: 19:47:35: none gnome sized
God: 19:47:37: also a book
God: 19:47:44: the cover is written in Black Speech
Tint Whistler: 19:47:52: ooo... can I have a looksee
God: 19:48:09: and has the same symbol on it as you have seeng before: a pair of blood-red tear drops laid in a circle like a ying-yang symbol
God: 19:48:34: Lotho is closest to teh chest - do youhand the book to tint?
Lotho: 19:48:45: um, do i want to touch it?
God: 19:48:50: ?
Lotho: 19:48:59: mmk, i'll pass it
God: 19:49:08: it blows your hand off
Ryu: 19:49:15: ?????
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:49:22: fuck, should've done a check!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lotho: 19:49:23: oops
God: 19:49:29: actually, that was a joke...
Ryu: 19:49:32: (shake)
God: 19:49:33: but these things can happen
God: 19:49:38: funny eh?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:49:41: God, you're such a b'stard.
Lotho: 19:49:44: hilarious!
God: 19:49:47: laughs in a deep and evil rumble
God: 19:49:57: you pass the book to Tint
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:49:58: (it was flatulence really)
Tint Whistler: 19:50:02: reading... reading... reading... 8-|
Lotho: 19:50:07: Gods or mine?
God: 19:50:09: the cover says "Grurrak's book of common prayer"
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:50:17: God's evil rumble.
Tint Whistler: 19:50:23: Do I reconise the symbol?
God: 19:50:28: no
Tint Whistler: 19:50:38: Can I do a bard knowledge check?
God: 19:50:44: but a cursory read enables you to recognise that the symbol is that of Grurrak, Orcish god of Death and War
God: 19:50:49: no knowledge check necessary
God: 19:50:59: although actually...
God: 19:51:05: you have never heard of this Gurrak before
God: 19:51:10: perhaps a knowledge check is necessary
God: 19:51:11: roll it
God: 19:51:33: (kids: bards have special knowledge of legends and stories, and can check that knowledge when they stumbloe on weird things)
Tint Whistler: 19:51:39: 24
God: 19:52:10: you don't know anything about this Grurrak
God: 19:52:13: a new God?
God: 19:52:16: it seems very strange
Tint Whistler: 19:52:31: or an old god, a very old god?
God: 19:52:38: but some elements of the prayers seem familiar though...
God: 19:52:44: maybe it's a case of rebranding...
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:52:44: OoooOOOooo, maybe he lives in the Underdark ...
God: 19:52:47: you can't be sure...
God: 19:52:55: Ory: maybe...
God: 19:53:11: Tint: there do seem to be references to a lot of rising from below
God: 19:53:17: but that could just be an Orcish fetish
God: 19:53:33: it is uncommonly well-crafted, written and designed for an Orcish religious book (which is rare enough in itself)
God: 19:53:42: anyway
God: 19:53:44: 3rd chest?
Tint Whistler: 19:54:12: Does it have any any other influences that I can detect? (Languages being my specialty)
God: 19:54:28: Tint: Elvish
God: 19:54:32: Elvish influences
Tint Whistler: 19:54:35: Oooo....
God: 19:54:36: but subtle and unusual
Lotho: 19:54:41: those fascist elves!?
God: 19:54:44: and you could be wrong
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:54:48: that's why it's so well-made then?
Tint Whistler: 19:54:50: There are more than one race of elves
God: 19:55:11: indeed... interesting problem, this...
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:55:29: what was the symbol of the fascist elves again?
God: 19:56:21: 3 stars on a blue sky
Ryu: 19:56:45: ok, third chest?
Lotho: 19:57:10: 18
God: 19:57:20: Lotho, you can't tell if this chest is trapped or not
God: 19:57:26: open at own risk
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:57:31: Take care of those hands, Loth!
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:57:47: (y) (n)
Lotho: 19:57:48: open from distance?
Tint Whistler: 19:57:52: Sure
God: 19:58:01: Ryu and ory can also do that
God: 19:58:09: which one of you does it?
Tint Whistler: 19:58:17: God, can one of us open it by hiding around the corner?
God: 19:58:22: yes
Ryu: 19:58:27: I can do it...
God: 19:58:40: so Ryu comes inside and the rest of you move around teh corner?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:58:52: with hands over our eyes
God: 19:59:03: Ryu casts the spell
Ryu: 19:59:06: I'm in front of the chest...
God: 19:59:15: the chest glitters momentarily and the lid springs open, revealing ....
God: 19:59:28: a bunch of dandy, extremely small clothes, some weapons and armour, all gnome sized
Tint Whistler: 19:59:34: Yay Yay Yay
Lotho: 19:59:38: haha
Lotho: 19:59:46: watches the gnome's glee
Tint Whistler: 19:59:49: (h)
God: 19:59:54: Tint dresses
Ryu: 19:59:55: naked no more
Tint Whistler: 19:59:56: luv's ya all
God: 19:59:58: this is an improvement for everyone
Oryndiel the Ponce: 19:59:59: hee hee (dance)
Ryu: 20:00:00: averts his eyes
God: 20:00:05: where to now?
Ryu: 20:00:18: can I cast identify on the potions?
Ryu: 20:00:22: I rolled 20
God: 20:00:33: Tint: can you roll a 4-sided die and add your constitution bonus to it please, then the letters cm?
Tint Whistler: 20:01:01: Ha ha
Tint Whistler: 20:01:21: <where is the mooning emoticon?>
God: 20:01:22: Ryu: they are "enlarge person" (good for Lotho...), "hide from Undead", and "cure moderate wounds"
God: 20:01:34: make sure you knock off a power point, monk
God: 20:01:42: Tint: bracket mooning bracket
Ryu: 20:01:45: mmmkay
Tint Whistler: 20:01:53: (mooning)
Ryu: 20:01:56: {moon}
Lotho: 20:01:59: "(mooning)"
Ryu: 20:02:04: [moon]
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:02:06: I thought we'd seen the end of that!
Lotho: 20:02:08: mooning with round brackets
Tint Whistler: 20:02:09: Cool.... anyothers
Lotho: 20:02:11: around it
Ryu: 20:02:14: (mooning)
Ryu: 20:02:16: ah thanks
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:02:20: (mooning)
God: 20:02:22: okay that's this room cleared
Ryu: 20:02:29: (masturbate)
Ryu: 20:02:32: oh well
God: 20:02:33: (though sadly not the air)
Lotho: 20:02:33: haha
God: 20:02:43: where do you go now?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:02:49: Yay for group mooning! (mooning) (mooning) (mooning) (mooning)
Lotho: 20:02:50: onwards!
God: 20:02:52: do you pay a visit on the shamen?
Tint Whistler: 20:03:02: I was wondering what the north wall was made of.
Lotho: 20:03:06: where be they?
God: 20:03:09: Stone
God: 20:03:12: lots of it
God: 20:03:16: maybe 5' thick
God: 20:03:18: why?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:03:21: the shrine first or the dorm?
Ryu: 20:03:33: Hm. Shrine I think
God: 20:03:34: Ory: the shrine links only to the dorm
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:03:35: what time is it btw?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:03:41: bedtime?
Ryu: 20:03:42: 9:03
God: 20:03:43: you have to go through the dorm
Ryu: 20:03:51: go to dorm
Tint Whistler: 20:03:55: Not if we go through the wall.
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:04:21: I mean, bedtime for the shamens? are they likely to be snoozing in their bunks?
God: 20:04:31: Ory: no
God: 20:04:50: Lotho can use teh 3rd level spell stoneshape, with which he could easily make an elf-sized door in teh North wall of this room
Ryu: 20:04:50: ooooh
God: 20:05:24: btw before we go on, how do you divide up those thre potions?
Lotho: 20:05:29: why do i wanna do that?
God: 20:05:34: enlarge person, hide from undead, cure moderate wounds
Tint Whistler: 20:05:47: I'm happy with my clothes. Many thanks.
God: 20:05:49: Lotho: you can walk intothe shrine then, without any warning
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:05:58: is hide from undead any use for me?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:06:00: god?
God: 20:06:04: ah, yes
God: 20:06:11: it'll make you invisible to undead I think
Lotho: 20:06:15: ah, where? which numbered room?
God: 20:06:21: although you do tend to lose your temper around undead...
God: 20:06:26: room 20
God: 20:06:28: the shrine
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:06:32: well, I'll bagsy that 'un.
Tint Whistler: 20:06:33: If we make a small hole first, we could see who's in the shrine and prepare a pleasent surprise.
God: 20:06:36: you're in 21 now
God: 20:06:47: so who takes enlarge person? cure moderate?
Lotho: 20:07:00: i get to enlarge?
God: 20:07:05: yes Lotho
Ryu: 20:07:14: Enlarging member potion
Lotho: 20:07:17: won't anyone in the room notice a hole being made in the wall?
Ryu: 20:07:19: Member of our group that is
God: 20:07:24: while enlarged, if you have a larger weapon it will do more damage (as Ryu just noted)
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:07:30: hehe
God: 20:07:33: Lotho: maybe
God: 20:07:36: it's soundless
Ryu: 20:07:40: I'll take the cure moderate
God: 20:07:55: okay, does Lotho take enlarge person?
Lotho: 20:08:05: if noone objects
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:08:44: fine by me
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:08:54: (i'm tall enough)
Ryu: 20:09:13: okiedokie
God: 20:09:20: so do you go through the wall or the door?
Tint Whistler: 20:09:28: I like my size!
Tint Whistler: 20:09:38: I could cast an illusion on the wall to make it appear like a solid stone wall.
Lotho: 20:09:55: can we hear anything on the other side?
Tint Whistler: 20:09:58: While Lotho opens a nice hole in it.
Lotho: 20:10:19: tint: as long as it wouldn't appear solid to us...
God: 20:10:19: that's a good idea Tint
God: 20:10:26: lotho: it wouldn't
God: 20:10:29: do you do that?
Lotho: 20:10:32: k
Tint Whistler: 20:10:34: k
Lotho: 20:10:39: spends 3 ppts
God: 20:11:10: the wall starts to open
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:11:29: open sesame!
Tint Whistler: 20:11:36: shh!!
God: 20:11:59: beyond it you can smell a thick, rich incense, and see 3 Orc shamen on their knees in the middle of the room facing the wall through which you are emerging. They are in prayer
God: 20:12:05: between you and them is an altar
God: 20:12:22: a couple of objects are on the altar, and the room is only dimly lit by a few candles in the walls
God: 20:12:27: everyone make a stealth check
God: 20:12:37: ah, hide
Tint Whistler: 20:12:51: 22
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:13:03: 21
Ryu: 20:13:11: 23
Lotho: 20:13:22: 21
God: 20:13:31: okay they don't see you
God: 20:13:33: what do you do?
God: 20:13:46: you can easily enlarge teh door to full size
Lotho: 20:13:50: anyone else in the room?
God: 20:13:58: no Lotho just the three of them
Lotho: 20:13:59: likely to be someone guarding the door?
God: 20:14:02: they are armoured, but in prayer
God: 20:14:06: Lotho: unlikely
God: 20:14:09: it is closed, however
Lotho: 20:14:09: wonders if someone should go around, 2 prong attack
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:14:29: good target practice for one of my arrows.
Tint Whistler: 20:14:36: Nah... surprise will knock em good.
Lotho: 20:14:41: mmk
God: 20:14:46: also Ory, good situation for your colour spray - knock 'em all down in one spell
Lotho: 20:14:59: we going for death or capture?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:15:14: c.s. blinds 'em from behind?
Lotho: 20:15:18: or horiffic mutilation?
Tint Whistler: 20:15:20: Have we already captured greymoons?
Lotho: 20:15:31: ory, we're infront of them
God: 20:15:33: greymons what?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:15:33: greymoon was squished.
Tint Whistler: 20:15:58: Drake remembers him casting some confusion spell after we had him.
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:16:03: whoops. Okay. Deck 'em with a colour spray, shall I?
Ryu: 20:16:15: ok
God: 20:16:17: tint: that was when he went to 1 hp recall? then you smashed him good
God: 20:16:23: Ory: roll spellcraft
God: 20:16:27: and knock of a Pp
Tint Whistler: 20:16:36: Tint casts glitter dust.
God: 20:16:44: Tint: don't bother
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:16:47: 22
Tint Whistler: 20:16:48: cool
God: 20:17:31: Ory steps forward to teh altar, in range of the shamen, and casts his spell
God: 20:17:46: a fountain of brilliant purple, amber and white light jets incredibly tackily across the room
God: 20:17:58: the shamen stumble to their feet, and stagger around hte room blinded and stunned
Tint Whistler: 20:18:11: ooo... nice spell
God: 20:18:16: one, however, seems to resist teh spell and charges straight for the altar
God: 20:18:26: ooh wait no he doesn't
God: 20:18:29: he starts casting a spell
God: 20:18:34: everyone roll initiative
Ryu: 20:18:45: 17
Lotho: 20:19:01: 17
Tint Whistler: 20:19:11: <what's my initiative?>
God: 20:19:45: Tint: roll 2d10 + Dex modifier
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:19:47: 12 - yipes!
Tint Whistler: 20:20:00: 10
God: 20:20:03: okay
God: 20:20:11: the shaman acts first, and does teh strangest thing
God: 20:20:18: he lights one of the candles on the altar
God: 20:20:36: he does this by producing a tiny ball of flame in the middle of his hand and firing it over hte intervening distance
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:20:40: (It's a signal to someone/something?)
God: 20:20:41: now it's your turn kids, what do you do
God: 20:20:45: starting with Ryu and Lotho
Ryu: 20:21:01: (mage armour still on?)
Lotho: 20:21:02: how far away is the alter/shaman?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:21:06: (snuff out the candle!)
God: 20:21:25: Ryu: yes
God: 20:21:37: Lotho: altar is 10' from you, shaman about 40'
God: 20:21:41: Ory: wait your turn
God: 20:21:47: Ryu and Lotho, what do you do?
Lotho: 20:21:53: rushes towards the shaman, morningstar swinging, knocking over the alter on the way !?
Ryu: 20:22:04: shocking grasp
God: 20:22:39: Ryu: don't waste the Pps, you'll hit him anyway and from prior experience these gusy aren't tough
Ryu: 20:22:46: ok
Ryu: 20:22:48: flurry of blows
God: 20:22:51: Lotho: the altar is mad eof a huge block of solid marble
Lotho: 20:22:55: oh
God: 20:23:01: you can try knocking over the candle though...
Lotho: 20:23:08: then i knock the candle over/out ?
God: 20:23:12: Ryu: roll it
Ryu: 20:23:13: 25 19 25
God: 20:23:18: Lotho: you can do both
God: 20:23:32: Ryu charges forward and ...
God: 20:23:39: Ryu, what did you roll (the dice only)
Ryu: 20:23:47: 2d10
God: 20:23:55: the numbers Ryu, the actual numbers
God: 20:23:59: was your last roll a 20?
Ryu: 20:24:03: yes
God: 20:24:09: roll that one again
God: 20:24:14: (with the same bonus)
Ryu: 20:24:26: 16 - why's that?
God: 20:24:28: okay
Lotho: 20:24:33: cause you got critical
God: 20:24:38: you could have got a critical if you had rolled 17 or more on that second roll
Ryu: 20:24:38: ah
God: 20:24:50: anyway, you charge forward with a furious barrage of punches, just like Bruce Lee
God: 20:25:09: all 3 hit the surprised shaman - you are leaping over the altar as you do it, and he is terrified so he doesn't block properly
God: 20:25:27: roll damage - for 3 hits (i.e. roll a total of 3d8+9)
God: 20:25:54: next, Lotho charges forward, sweeping his morningstar on the altar andleaping over it, knocking over the candle and descending like the Wrath of Shortdom on the same Orc
Ryu: 20:25:57: add 9 to total score or to each roll?
God: 20:25:59: (Lotho, roll it)
Lotho: 20:26:00: (speaking of Bruce Lee... http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmcooper78/1302392144/ )
God: 20:26:02: Ryu: total
Lotho: 20:26:12: what i add?
Ryu: 20:26:16: 15
God: 20:26:24: so Lotho knocks over the candle, which goes flying through the air, spinning end over end
God: 20:26:47: but as it spins it bursts into an incandescent, brilliant light, and by the time it hits the ground the entire candle is consumed, leaving just a smoking wick
Lotho: 20:26:47: mmk. 20
God: 20:26:56: Lotho: roll 2d10 and add your combat bonusses
God: 20:26:59: as per a la usual
Ryu: 20:27:09: this is rather disturbing
Lotho: 20:27:15: thats with my morningstar attack
God: 20:27:23: the Orc is standing upright still despite the blistering flurry of punches
God: 20:27:29: yep Lotho, both attacks
Ryu: 20:27:31: if we haven't got a shaman prisoner we recommend we keep one alive at least for interrogation...
Lotho: 20:27:44: if we can..
Ryu: 20:27:52: by the way, I rolled 15 if you missed that...
Ryu: 20:28:17: (lotho: is that a serious ad?? geez)
God: 20:28:19: I got it Ryu
God: 20:28:24: Lotho, did you hit?
God: 20:28:27: have you rolled?
Lotho: 20:28:34: ryu: i guess so, friend took it.
Lotho: 20:28:49: i rolled 20 with morningstar attack
God: 20:29:23: you hit
God: 20:29:37: still staggered by the monk, the Orc doesn't dodge your strike
God: 20:29:39: roll teh damage
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:29:47: (am I still behind the hole in the wall? can I sense or hear anything outside in the corridor, coming our way at all?)
God: 20:29:55: Ory, you are standing at teh altar
God: 20:29:58: make a spot check
God: 20:30:14: Tint too, roll a spot check
Lotho: 20:30:20: 5
God: 20:30:40: Lotho: the shaman is still upright, somehow
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:30:41: 16. Can't my elvish hearing pick anything up?
Tint Whistler: 20:30:45: spot = 14
God: 20:30:46: blood is pouring from teh side of his head
God: 20:30:49: he is hard done by
God: 20:31:00: Ory and Tint you don't see anything particular
God: 20:31:18: it's Ory's go, what do you do? the other two orcs are still staggernig about blinded and stunned
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:31:18: (and we hear nowt?)
God: 20:31:23: Ory: nowt
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:31:48: shoot an arrow at one of the blistered orcies
God: 20:32:14: roll 'em
God: 20:32:19: do you use your super rapdi shots?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:33:06: first shot: 16
God: 20:33:11: missed!
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:33:26: 14 - shite!
God: 20:33:43: missed!
God: 20:33:52: Ory's shots fire wild, streaking flames through the air into the shadows
God: 20:33:53: Tint?
Tint Whistler: 20:34:02: I was admiring my new found friends in action.
Tint Whistler: 20:34:05: Does there seem a need to join the fray?
God: 20:34:27: well.. there are 2 Orc shamen wandering around dazed, and 1 about to die
God: 20:34:31: so maybe no particular need...
Tint Whistler: 20:34:47: yeah I'll continue enjoying the show.
God: 20:34:56: okay
God: 20:34:59: the Shaman gets to act
God: 20:35:08: he is casting another spell
God: 20:35:16: however, he is too wobbly to do it well
God: 20:35:23: so both Ryu and Lotho get a free attack on him
God: 20:35:24: roll it!
Ryu: 20:35:40: surprise attack?
Ryu: 20:35:49: and only one?
God: 20:35:57: Ryu, opportunity attack, and only 1
God: 20:35:59: roll it
Lotho: 20:36:13: 24
God: 20:36:20: you hit
Ryu: 20:36:24: I rolled 19 what do I add it to?
Lotho: 20:36:29: do i get a 2nd? (with the +9/+4 thing)?
God: 20:36:38: the Shaman, instead of successfully casting his spell, collapses with his head broken open
Lotho: 20:36:44: oo, i rolled 6
God: 20:36:44: Ryu: irrelevant, Lotho just killed it
Ryu: 20:36:47: oh well, never mind then
Lotho: 20:36:52: does that get me anything special?
God: 20:36:52: now you can choose to attack the other two shamen
Lotho: 20:36:55: other than 8?
God: 20:36:57: so Lotho: you can attack again
Ryu: 20:36:58: good show old chap.
Tint Whistler: 20:37:03: dum-di-dum... (music)
God: 20:37:06: Lotho: he had 1 hp
God: 20:37:11: so don't bother
Lotho: 20:37:13: bum
Lotho: 20:37:20: roll the 2nd +4 one?
God: 20:37:22: but you get to attack again with your full attack
God: 20:37:26: against someone else
Lotho: 20:37:28: heh. 10.
Lotho: 20:37:36: ok, 15
God: 20:37:41: so Lotho: pick a target and attack it twice
God: 20:37:47: Ryu: pick a target and attack it thrice
Ryu: 20:37:55: The one closest to me.
Lotho: 20:37:57: the closest dazed shaman?
God: 20:37:58: roll
God: 20:38:05: both of you!
Lotho: 20:38:05: the one ryu ain't attacking
Ryu: 20:38:15: 13, 11, 20
God: 20:38:18: meanwhile, Ory and Tint, make another Spot check
Lotho: 20:38:18: 6 again, so 8
God: 20:38:33: Ryu you hit once with the last punch, so roll damage
Lotho: 20:38:37: then 22 and
Tint Whistler: 20:38:40: go Ryu (punch)
Lotho: 20:38:42: 5
God: 20:38:44: Lotho, how can you roll 6 and get 8?
God: 20:38:49: or was that damage?
Lotho: 20:38:51: +2?
Ryu: 20:38:51: 8
Lotho: 20:38:53: damage
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:39:06: spot 18
Ryu: 20:39:10: (ninja)
God: 20:39:20: Lotho: you get 2 NEW attacks, so the first one is at your full attack bonus, the second one at the reduced bonus
Lotho: 20:39:23: attack 15, damage 8
Lotho: 20:39:27: then attack 22, damage 5
God: 20:39:29: right
God: 20:39:31: both attacks hit
God: 20:39:44: so Ryu, you have bruised one of yours
Tint Whistler: 20:39:45: oops spot = 2 - I'm seeing some strange stuff happening.
God: 20:40:00: Lotho, you take 2 solid strikes at your Orc and damage it a lot
God: 20:40:06: but it dodges back to avoid the killing blow
God: 20:40:17: Tint: there are creatures coming from back in the Shaman's room
Ryu: 20:40:38: Like, FUCK. (internally of course, as monks are calm under pressure)
God: 20:40:41: Ory: the room has become strangely drker, and the air in the opposite corner of the room from you is shimmering strangely
God: 20:40:51: the shamen don't do anything
God: 20:41:06: Ory, what do you do?
God: 20:41:12: Tint, what do you do?
God: 20:41:21: Lotho and Ryu, you can attack your targets again
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:41:23: me/ casts Magic Circle Against Evil around the group
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:41:31: oops
Ryu: 20:41:43: 13, 12, 12 - pathetic
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:41:55: I have a feeling something bad is coming ...
Ryu: 20:42:07: by the pricking of my thumb, something wicked this way comes.
God: 20:42:16: Ryu! you miss 3 times, while the Orc dodges drunkenly
God: 20:42:32: Tint, what are you doing? there are creatures coming through the shaman's room BEHIND you
God: 20:42:43: Lotho, your attack rolls? Your Orc is weaving drunkenly in front of you
Tint Whistler: 20:43:00: Cast Glitter Dust into the middle of the room to blind them.
God: 20:43:09: okay
God: 20:43:24: you step back into the room and cast the spell
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:43:26: (oh poos, have noted that I'm now on 4 pps)
Tint Whistler: 20:43:32: Also I call for Ory's help
God: 20:43:34: unfortunately it is only after you have cast it that you realise there is no-one there
Lotho: 20:43:36: 21, 5
God: 20:43:44: Lotho, you hit your Orc again
God: 20:43:47: second attack?
Lotho: 20:43:47: 21,4
God: 20:43:57: okay, your orc collapses, brains smeared along the floor
Lotho: 20:44:02: ewwww
God: 20:44:06: that leaves just the Shaman on Ryu
Ryu: 20:44:07: 18,16,10 - the die hate me.
Lotho: 20:44:16: turns to the last one
Lotho: 20:44:22: when it's his go
God: 20:44:24: Ryu, that is 2 hits, you kick him in the belly and smash him in hte face
God: 20:44:25: roll damage
God: 20:44:32: Tint, you were wrong about the creatures in the other room
God: 20:44:33: oops
Tint Whistler: 20:44:39: Tint's going to sneak back to the other door and check the corridor
God: 20:44:40: maybe you heard them in the hall though - will you go check?
Ryu: 20:44:41: 10, 10
Ryu: 20:45:03: (rolled 7 both times)
God: 20:45:04: Ryu, you manage to smash your fist into the Orcs face and knock it back into the wall. It falls lifeless to the floor
God: 20:45:27: as you turn to the others you see the thing which Ory is staring at, emerging from the shimmering spot of air in teh corner of the room
Ryu: 20:45:28: it better if it knows what's good for it.
God: 20:45:50: It is about 6' tall
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:45:53: dum-dum ... dum-dum ...
God: 20:45:55: a gaunt humanoid
God: 20:45:58: black, leathery skin
God: 20:46:00: pointed ears
God: 20:46:14: a large, curved horn emerging from the back of its skull
God: 20:46:21: multiple teeth in a wide, nasty mouth
Lotho: 20:46:24: um, we run?
God: 20:46:25: sharp, jagged teeth
God: 20:46:43: It has no weapon
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:46:46: do we recognise the beastie?
God: 20:46:48: but its hands end in vicious claws
Ryu: 20:46:49: Is this Barrak?
God: 20:47:07: everyone can make a Knowledge(arcana) or Knowledge(Religion) or Knowledge(Demons) check
God: 20:47:12: Tint is out of the room, doesn't hear it coming
God: 20:47:22: Tint: make a move silently check
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:47:37: 18
Ryu: 20:47:38: 15 for Arcana
Tint Whistler: 20:47:39: stealthy... 19
God: 20:47:49: Ory: it's a BABAU
God: 20:47:52: a type of Demon
God: 20:47:57: the Candle must have summmoned it
God: 20:48:04: Babau are renowned as assassins
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:48:26: does it have a famous weakness that would be helpful to know?
Lotho: 20:48:36: haha
Ryu: 20:48:41: hee
God: 20:48:44: a key point is that Magic Circle Against Evil, hich Ory cast, should prevent it from attacking you IF you are within 10' of ory
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:48:44: it's horn, perhaps?
God: 20:48:53: Ory: if you hit it a lot, it dies
God: 20:48:56: that's its weakness
Ryu: 20:49:01: great
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:49:05: Poo! Well, huddle in, chaps.
Lotho: 20:49:10: huddles ory
God: 20:49:24: make another knowledge check to recall Demon's special powers
Ryu: 20:49:26: business as usual then chaps?
Ryu: 20:49:48: 22 for arcana
God: 20:49:57: so as you all step in, the room is plunged into complete darkness
God: 20:50:17: ryu: they are IMMUNE to electricity and poison, and take reduced damage from fire, acid, cold
God: 20:50:24: they can summon others of their kind
God: 20:50:31: they usually have magic powers
Lotho: 20:50:44: bejesus
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:50:47: Tint, get your arse into my magic circle!
God: 20:50:50: normal weapons do not work against them (you need good weapons or cold iron weapons)
Lotho: 20:50:52: can i build the walla round it?
God: 20:50:56: Tint - you hear that
God: 20:51:00: you cna come runnign back
God: 20:51:05: Lotho: which wall?
Tint Whistler: 20:51:12: Do I see anything down the hall?
God: 20:51:16: Tint: no
Lotho: 20:51:23: any wall that's nearby, or floor
Tint Whistler: 20:51:24: I head back in a hurry
Lotho: 20:51:26: box it in
Ryu: 20:51:27: Im not sure I feel happier knowing all that
God: 20:51:30: Now everyone make a listen check
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:51:43: 21
Ryu: 20:51:44: 24
Lotho: 20:51:48: 21
Tint Whistler: 20:51:49: 16
God: 20:52:03: Tint you get to the doorway of the room and see it is shrouded in complete darkness
Ryu: 20:52:05: (can I say my imagination is making this rather creepy scene right now?)
God: 20:52:17: inside you can hear your comrades talking hurriedly to each other
God: 20:52:20: that is all you can hear
Tint Whistler: 20:52:20: Cast - Light
God: 20:52:25: GOOD!
Tint Whistler: 20:52:41: roll?
Ryu: 20:52:45: I have one sunrod in my backpack
God: 20:52:51: Ory, can you please roll 2d10 and add your wizard level to it (5)
God: 20:52:59: Ryu, use it if you like
God: 20:53:11: oh sorry Ory, slightly different
Lotho: 20:53:13: no point if there'salready light form tint
God: 20:53:18: wait a sec everyone!
Ryu: 20:53:35: Loptho: yea... I typed it before I read his...
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:54:01: 19
God: 20:54:07: Ory: best roll you ever made
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:54:19: eh?
God: 20:54:23: the room lights up to its previous dim state, as Tint's spell cancels the darkness
God: 20:54:49: In the new light you can see the Demon creeping around the edge of Ory's Magic Circle, which is glittering faintly in the air.
God: 20:55:07: the Demon has moved the 20' from its corner in complete silence, and is moving around your Circle, trying to get in
God: 20:55:17: had Ory rolled less than 14, it would be in, attacking with surprise
Ryu: 20:55:30: yay Ory
Tint Whistler: 20:55:42: whoo...
God: 20:55:46: Tint, it sees you
Ryu: 20:55:50: oh shit
God: 20:55:58: just a note kids: if you attack it, it can immediately get inside the circle
Ryu: 20:56:08: even with missile weapons?
God: 20:56:11: Ryu: yes
Lotho: 20:56:18: does this thing last indefinately?
God: 20:56:25: a moment later the creature disappears with a faint popping sound
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:56:26: are there any magics that can strengthen my circle?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:56:34: oh.
God: 20:56:34: Ory: no
Tint Whistler: 20:56:35: Can someone unsummon it?
God: 20:56:43: maybe Lotho?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:56:47: it's invisible?
God: 20:56:48: Tint: make a listen check
Ryu: 20:56:55: I have see invisibility spell.
God: 20:56:57: Ory: do you have "see invisible"?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:57:13: yep
God: 20:57:14: everyone else make a spot check
Tint Whistler: 20:57:14: Can I cast glitter dust without hitting the group.
God: 20:57:18: Tint: yes
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:57:18: a scroll
God: 20:57:20: in the doorway
Lotho: 20:57:21: well, all our summoned monsters only last a certain time. we don't know how long this one will?
God: 20:57:24: but make a listen check first
God: 20:57:29: everyone else make a spot check
Lotho: 20:57:33: um tint, then it'll go for you wont it?
Tint Whistler: 20:57:38: listen = 11
Ryu: 20:57:38: spot check 10
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:57:43: spot 22
God: 20:57:44: Lotho, small hint: it's right behind him as we speak
God: 20:58:03: Tint, what's your armour class when surprised?
Tint Whistler: 20:58:22: 16
Lotho: 20:58:23: 23 spot
God: 20:58:25: Ory: you see the Demon behind Tint
God: 20:58:27: so does Lotho
God: 20:58:31: do you yell a warning?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 20:58:43: aye - is it in the circle or on the outside still?
God: 20:58:52: outside, AS IS TINT
God: 20:58:56: so you yell
God: 20:59:13: Tint, the first attack is with surprise, the rest aren't, as you react
God: 20:59:24: what's your unsurprised armour class?
Lotho: 20:59:28: tint, lookout behind you!
Tint Whistler: 20:59:31: I tumble into the circle
God: 20:59:48: Tint: your unsurprised armour class?
Tint Whistler: 20:59:53: AC = 16
God: 21:00:22: Tint: 34 hps damage
Tint Whistler: 21:00:36: hmm... that's minus 10 for me.
God: 21:00:43: it lays into you viciously with its claws and even manages to get its bite onto you before you stagger away
God: 21:00:47: then you are down
Ryu: 21:00:57: wow. that was...... quick.
God: 21:01:02: guys you have 1 round to cast a cure spell on him
God: 21:01:07: or you'll be raising him!
God: 21:01:12: (which you can do)
Ryu: 21:01:26: Only cure potions, no spells here.
God: 21:01:29: but Lotho may be able to dispell this beast
God: 21:02:28: but in fact, Lotho can't
Lotho: 21:02:36: why not?
God: 21:02:36: Dismissal is a 4th level spell - you can't use them can you Lotho?
Lotho: 21:02:47: dun think so no. im only 5th level
Lotho: 21:02:52: i can cure tint though
Tint Whistler: 21:03:00: ugggg....
God: 21:03:02: but that means getting past the beast, right?
Lotho: 21:03:10: does it?
Tint Whistler: 21:03:11: :P
Lotho: 21:03:15: bugger, sorry tint :P
God: 21:03:21: you need to touch him to use the cure spell
God: 21:03:27: unless you can extend its range...?
God: 21:03:38: or unless someone can levitate him into the circle...
Ryu: 21:03:45: Do you need me to distract the creature?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:03:47: I can levitate stuff
Tint Whistler: 21:04:08: (sweat)
God: 21:04:35: does anyone have the spell "levitate", or some other device for getting him to you?
God: 21:05:00: the alternative is a mad dash to attack, with e.g. Ryu distracting the beast and Lotho rushing to heal
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:05:00: bugger, I can only levitate only 2 kg objects.
God: 21:05:08: or wait for him to die, and then Raise him afterwards...
God: 21:05:18: he's probably useful right now though...
Tint Whistler: 21:05:19: :S
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:05:19: I could use a scorching ray on the beastie
Ryu: 21:05:25: he'll get into the circle
God: 21:05:29: oh actually
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:05:43: but don't we have to break it anyway to cure tint
God: 21:05:43: you hear a clatter, and a moment later your cohorts burst into the room behind Tint and the Demon
God: 21:05:49: ory: no
Tint Whistler: 21:06:02: (puke)
God: 21:06:10: The demon springs to attack them
Ryu: 21:06:13: hee
God: 21:06:15: leaving Tint on the ground, pissing blood
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:06:21: heal im now, loth!
God: 21:06:24: Lotho, do you cast cure?
Lotho: 21:06:45: okay
God: 21:06:49: (Tint: you probably should have thought to cure yourself earlier, eh?)
Lotho: 21:06:51: goes out to cure tint
Tint Whistler: 21:07:10: (whew)
God: 21:07:10: Lotho, which spell? serious wounds? (It's 3pps) Moderate? (2pps) It could take a serious just to get him conscious
Lotho: 21:07:17: cure serious wounds
Lotho: 21:07:19: level 3
God: 21:07:22: If Ory moves forward with you, the circle will encompass all of you
God: 21:07:32: okay Lotho: roll 3d8+ level (5)
Lotho: 21:07:33: oo, ory?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:07:38: shuffles forward
Lotho: 21:07:57: 24
Tint Whistler: 21:08:08: (y)
God: 21:08:24: Tint, record that!
Tint Whistler: 21:08:26: It's amazing that I survived this far.
God: 21:08:28: you surge to your feet inside the circl
God: 21:08:34: outside, the Demon is taking on your 6 cohorts
God: 21:08:38: you can roll, 2 each
Lotho: 21:09:12: can we move towards them, encompassing the cohorts and pushing the demon away?
God: 21:09:21: Lotho: no
God: 21:09:29: if you encompass the Demon deliberately you break the spell
God: 21:09:33: they need to flee to you
Lotho: 21:09:42: how much longer will this circle last?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:09:43: Cohort 1: 24
God: 21:09:47: one of you has a cohort with magic weapons and armour
Lotho: 21:10:01: what r we rolling?
God: 21:10:09: attack rolls for your cohorts
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:10:12: Cohort 2: 20
Tint Whistler: 21:10:15: Tint quafs a potion of cure serious and plays something inspirational (music)
God: 21:10:16: so using your melee weapons
God: 21:10:30: Tint: can you tellus the effect of that spell?
Lotho: 21:10:30: and our attack bonuses?
God: 21:10:36: Ory: your 2 cohorts both hit
God: 21:10:48: Lotho: they're written in teh "cohort" seciton of your character sheet
Tint Whistler: 21:10:58: C major = +2 attack +2 damage
God: 21:11:09: Ory: the weapons don't seem to do any serious damage at all
God: 21:11:18: tint: remind us as combat proceeds
Ryu: 21:11:18: 1: 19, 2: 12
Lotho: 21:11:31: 12, 4
God: 21:11:34: Ryu, any magic weapons?
God: 21:11:38: Lotho, any magic weapons?
Ryu: 21:11:46: not on mine
God: 21:11:48: remember one of your cohorts got a magic weapon
Tint Whistler: 21:12:13: Drake recalls a magic mace (+1) that was going to be offered to Lotho I think.
God: 21:12:21: aha
Lotho: 21:12:22: 15: 15
God: 21:12:34: Lotho: one of your cohorts has a magic mace
God: 21:12:47: this is the only cohort with a significant chance of doing damage
God: 21:12:54: so, Ory: both your cohorts hit
God: 21:12:57: roll for damage
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:13:00: hurrah!
Lotho: 21:13:03: dont think mine had magic? when'd he get that?
God: 21:13:18: Ryu: your first cohort makes a savage hit, roll for damage
God: 21:13:24: Lotho: while you were away last time
God: 21:13:27: it's a +1 mace
Tint Whistler: 21:13:36: I think we were going to offer the mace to Lotho since he could use maces
Lotho: 21:13:38: um. and i know this how?
God: 21:13:40: he also got +1 splint armour
Ryu: 21:13:40: 7
God: 21:13:49: you know this now, I think...
God: 21:13:55: we can deal with the details later
Lotho: 21:14:08: so what does that mean?
God: 21:14:09: Ryu: that blow did nothing
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:14:23: Cohort damage ... 10; 7
Ryu: 21:14:26: bum
God: 21:14:29: Lotho: it means you add 1 to the attacks when you roll them, and that your cohort is harder to hit
God: 21:14:47: Ory: one of your cohorts scratches the beast, the other does nothing
Tint Whistler: 21:14:48: (does the +2 damage from the inspiration count as magic damage?)
God: 21:14:57: Tint: not the right sort
Ryu: 21:15:01: I feel like going out there and hitting the bastard.
God: 21:15:18: yes
God: 21:15:20: what do you all do?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:15:23: Can I use my scorching ray on someone now?
God: 21:15:39: the beast just charged into one of Oryndiel's cohorts and ripped him in half, killing him instantly and throwing entrails over a wall
Tint Whistler: 21:15:46: Tint continues whistling (music)
God: 21:15:57: Ory: you can cast it on teh beast if you like, but it will dispel the circles effects
Ryu: 21:16:36: it'll take damage from fire, cold, ice.
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:17:08: ryu and lotho - looks like i'm gonna have to dispel this circle if we wanna kill this beastie.
Ryu: 21:17:21: steps out and hammers the beast
Tint Whistler: 21:17:24: Tints getting behind everyone else
Lotho: 21:17:30: i thought it took less damage from those?
Ryu: 21:18:03: lotho: reduced damage, you're right.
God: 21:18:13: by this ory means: the beast will be able to attack you if you attack it
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:18:31: Well ....
God: 21:18:32: but your magic circle's other effects will still work
God: 21:18:39: (like protecting you from fear, etc.)
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:18:39: attacks with fire arrows
God: 21:18:48: Ory: 3 or 2 arrows?
Lotho: 21:18:52: can i enthralit?
God: 21:18:55: Your cohorts are weaker than yo uand they have hit it
God: 21:18:58: so 3 could work
God: 21:19:03: Lotho: it's immune to mind control
Tint Whistler: 21:19:16: bummer
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:19:16: 2 arros
God: 21:19:22: you might be well served casting a protective spell on Ryu - eg Aid to give him more HPs
God: 21:19:27: okay Ory roll 'em
God: 21:19:31: Ryu roll your attack
Tint Whistler: 21:19:32: (music)
God: 21:19:36: from now on I willl handle the cohorts
Lotho: 21:19:40: spiritual weapon, summon monster?
Tint Whistler: 21:19:49: <+2 for everyone's attacks and damage>
Ryu: 21:19:58: 18, 23, 20
Ryu: 21:20:17: er, add +2 to all that
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:20:27: first 'un: 23, next 'un: 11
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:20:42: add +2
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:20:46: ploise
God: 21:20:49: Ah, Lotho: spiritual weapon will be useless
God: 21:21:04: I suggest you bolster Ryu, e.g. with Aid, or cast a powerful spell on you like Divine Power
God: 21:21:10: or go inviisble for a stealth attack
God: 21:21:17: okay Ryu: you hit 3 times, roll your damage
God: 21:21:25: discount any results less than 10, but add 2 to all damge rolls
God: 21:21:37: Ory: you hit once, roll your fire arrow damage and add 2 to it
Ryu: 21:21:53: So if I roll less than 10, ignore it?
God: 21:21:57: Ryu: yes
Ryu: 21:22:02: what if the +2 makes it over 10?
God: 21:22:13: then it coutns!
Ryu: 21:22:18: Ok. 10.
Lotho: 21:22:20: random action?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:22:20: damage is 9 - poos!
God: 21:22:33: Lotho: another goo dthing would be to cast Owl's wisdom on Ryu, it makes him harder to hit
God: 21:22:44: Ryu: your attacks did zero damage
God: 21:22:54: Lotho, your action?
Tint Whistler: 21:23:21: Guys we need big powerful hits - anyone got power attack?
God: 21:23:27: Tint: no
God: 21:23:35: two of the cohorts hit
Lotho: 21:23:40: can i bestow curse on the demon?
Lotho: 21:23:57: -6 abi -4 att
God: 21:23:57: for no damage
God: 21:24:03: Lotho, yes
Lotho: 21:24:07: k, do that
God: 21:24:29: okay Lotho, you need to first roll 2d10 and add your cleric level to it
Ryu: 21:24:33: 19, 17 for my cohorts (that is, if I still have two)
God: 21:24:37: then you can roll for the actual curse spell
Lotho: 21:24:39: -6 abi / -4 att, saves, checks etc.
God: 21:24:45: Ryu: I rolled for them already
Ryu: 21:24:48: oh
God: 21:24:51: 2 cohorts hit, bu thtety did no damage
Lotho: 21:24:52: 20
God: 21:24:55: Lotho good
God: 21:25:02: now roll spellcraft to see how hard it is to resist
Lotho: 21:25:42: 19
God: 21:25:54: your curse fails
God: 21:25:58: the Demon shrugs it off
Lotho: 21:26:02: gah
God: 21:26:07: the Demon turns and attacks Ryu
God: 21:26:11: Ryu, what is your armour class?
Ryu: 21:26:32: 24
Ryu: 21:26:36: unless I'm getting it wrong
Ryu: 21:26:40: this is total mage armoured
God: 21:26:42: yep
Ryu: 21:27:00: 24
God: 21:27:16: it attacks you with one claw only, doing 6 hps damage
God: 21:27:23: it easily shreds your defenses!
Ryu: 21:27:31: what a pisser
God: 21:27:55: then it moves back with a tumbling roll, easily evading the cohorts' attacks
God: 21:28:02: next round everyone, what do you do?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:28:16: uses scorching ray at the demon
Lotho: 21:28:46: hang on, i have a staff of 8th level spells...
God: 21:28:48: okay Ory: roll a ranged touch attack
Ryu: 21:28:50: too bad drake isn't here, he'd fry this anal cyst.
God: 21:28:51: Lotho!
God: 21:28:55: use the fucking thing!
Lotho: 21:29:02: oh, fire doesnt work though eh?
God: 21:29:22: no, just reduced damage
Lotho: 21:29:25: burning hands, fireball and wall of fire
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:29:27: 26
God: 21:29:28: it's immune to electricity and poison
God: 21:29:36: Ory: good, you hit it with your scorchign ray
God: 21:29:40: roll 4d6+2 damage
God: 21:29:51: Ryu, what do you do?
Ryu: 21:30:02: hit it 3 times
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:30:05: damage 19
God: 21:30:07: roll 'em
Ryu: 21:30:17: rolled a 20 on my first!
God: 21:30:29: Oryndiel's line of fire streaks across the intervening space, and hits the Demon for actual fiery damage
Ryu: 21:30:32: 32, 21, 15
God: 21:30:43: Ryu: roll the first one again, with the same bonus
Ryu: 21:30:58: 24
God: 21:31:01: right
God: 21:31:05: your first strike is at double damage
God: 21:31:09: the second strike does normal damage
Tint Whistler: 21:31:18: Woo Hoo... (punch)
God: 21:31:24: so the first strike you roll 1d8+5 and double it; teh secon is 1d8+5
God: 21:31:26: roll 'em
God: 21:31:40: you do a huge leaping spinning double hammer fist to the horn with that first strike
God: 21:32:01: Lotho, what do you do?
Ryu: 21:32:07: 1st: 20, 2bnd 10
Lotho: 21:32:20: fireball.
Lotho: 21:32:27: i dun have to roll sinc eit's a staff do i?
God: 21:32:29: okay Ryu, you hit it on the base of the horn, hurting it, then grab its horn and knee it in the face, but it just smiels at that
God: 21:32:41: Lotho: fireball will hit Ryu and all the cohorts
God: 21:32:45: don't you have something more precise?
God: 21:32:48: e.g. scorchign ray?
Lotho: 21:32:50: burning hands :/
God: 21:33:02: your cohorts may welldie if you use fireball
God: 21:33:08: Ryu will PROBABLY suffer no damage
God: 21:33:12: it's a big risk
Ryu: 21:33:13: "probably"
Lotho: 21:33:17: burning hands work?
Lotho: 21:33:28: or, what about a dart
Lotho: 21:33:32: or morningstar
God: 21:33:36: Lotho, burning hands might do something
God: 21:33:44: just wait a moment
God: 21:34:38: Lotho, burning hands may do damage - its maximum is bigger than 10
God: 21:34:41: you could try that
Tint Whistler: 21:34:47: Stu: Can I cast an illusion of fire on the creature, so that it thinks it's dieing?
God: 21:34:48: Tint, your action is...?
Lotho: 21:34:55: k, how'd i do that?
God: 21:35:00: ooh tricky, I don't think you can
God: 21:35:20: Lotho: you roll 2d10 and add your touch attack bonus
Tint Whistler: 21:35:24: How about an illusion of ropes entangling it, making it slower - less likely to hit us?
God: 21:35:30: if you get over 11 the burning hadns has hit
God: 21:35:34: then you roll 5d4 damage
Lotho: 21:35:42: roll 20
God: 21:35:44: Tint: which spell?
Tint Whistler: 21:35:52: Major Image
God: 21:35:56: Lotho: you charge forward and point your staff at the beast, summonign a fan of fire
God: 21:35:58: roll damage
Lotho: 21:36:29: (so 31 with attack)
Lotho: 21:36:44: rather, 29
God: 21:36:50: Tint; it'll work
Lotho: 21:36:51: whats the damage?
God: 21:36:53: but there are saves etc.
God: 21:36:57: Lotho: 5d4
God: 21:37:11: Tint: roll first 2d10+ your level to resist the beast's magic
Lotho: 21:37:15: 10
God: 21:37:26: then roll for your spellcraft check to see how hard its save is
God: 21:37:38: Lotho: flame engulfs the beast but ti doesn't seem to notice
God: 21:37:48: Ryu, the creature attacks you again
Tint Whistler: 21:37:54: 14 (+1 vs illusions +2 vs charm/fear - music)
God: 21:37:59: It misses
God: 21:38:09: tint: roll 2d10 + level, no adjustments
Tint Whistler: 21:38:13: 14
Ryu: 21:38:14: thank God
God: 21:38:15: that's for spell resistance
God: 21:38:24: Tint: that worked
God: 21:38:28: now roll your spellcraft
God: 21:38:36: the cohorts have all attacked and missed
God: 21:38:44: Ory and Ryu can act again now, what do you do?
Tint Whistler: 21:38:52: Spellcraft 28
Ryu: 21:39:05: 31 30 18 (no full 20)
God: 21:39:06: okay jsut a mo
Tint Whistler: 21:39:56: <The bonus +2 from the music lasts another 5 actions>
God: 21:40:59: Lotho, Ryu, et al: if you summon a Celestial monster (e.g. a celestial dog) then it will do FULL damage against the beast
God: 21:41:03: jus a note Emma raised there
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:41:04: uses scorching ray against beastie
God: 21:41:10: Oryndiel: roll your attack roll
God: 21:41:20: Ryu: you hit twice, roll your damage twice (1d8+5)
Ryu: 21:41:26: 13 13
Ryu: 21:41:38: I don't have a celestial monster
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:41:43: 18
Ryu: 21:41:44: would be nice though
God: 21:41:48: Ryu did you really roll 2 8s?
God: 21:41:53: Ory that worked
Ryu: 21:41:58: yep
God: 21:42:10: now you have to roll 2d10+ your level to penetrate this beast's magical protection against all spells
God: 21:42:15: (so 2d10+5)
God: 21:42:19: okay
God: 21:42:34: Ryu: you scratch the creature but nothing serious
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:42:36: 20
God: 21:42:41: two blows to the side of the head
God: 21:42:53: Ory: your spell worked! a beam of fire streaks across and hits the beast in the body
God: 21:42:58: roll damage: 4d6+2
Ryu: 21:42:59: My knuckles are bleeding.
God: 21:43:03: true
God: 21:43:06: Lotho, what do you do?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:43:17: 16
God: 21:43:25: Ory, that did a little damage
Lotho: 21:43:28: morningstar
God: 21:43:31: okay
God: 21:43:41: Lotho: before you do, if you cast Divine Power you get extra attack bonusses
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:43:50: ARG! Die beastie die! (muscle)
Lotho: 21:44:01: 19, 5
Lotho: 21:44:11: um
God: 21:44:12: one cohort successfully hits the beast with its magic mace, doing some damage
God: 21:44:16: Lotho that hit and did no damage
God: 21:44:19: second strike?
Lotho: 21:44:36: wont do any damange either
God: 21:44:39: okay
God: 21:44:46: Tint, your song is exhausted
God: 21:45:03: the beast attacks Ryu again, with ALL its attacks: 3 attacks
Ryu: 21:45:14: mummy
Tint Whistler: 21:45:24: the effect lasts 5 rounds after I stop
God: 21:45:28: they all miss - it is taking huge swings iwth the hope of hitting you for extra damage
God: 21:45:35: Tint: do you stop or keep going?
God: 21:45:45: now its Ory, Ryu, what do you do?
Tint Whistler: 21:45:46: sure I keep singing
Tint Whistler: 21:46:04: Did the rope illusion have any effect?
God: 21:46:09: Lotho I think your morning star's maximum damage is not enough
Ryu: 21:46:09: Physical attacks are shite against it, but I have got much power points
Ryu: 21:46:15: haven't that is
God: 21:46:44: Tint: sorry I forgot, the rope spell hits the Demon now and it staggers away, trying to escape
Ryu: 21:47:07: Do we still have + 2?
God: 21:47:15: yes
Tint Whistler: 21:47:38: Ory - you should have some 0 level spells that will do a little damage (probably more than the rest of us)
Ryu: 21:47:41: 31, 17, 18
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:47:51: I have no power points left!
Tint Whistler: 21:48:04: 0 level = 0 ppts to use
God: 21:48:14: while it is spending this round trying to escape, you can all attack easily
God: 21:48:27: Lotho you can use a sneak attack while it is trying to escap
God: 21:48:36: Ryu: you hit 3 times, roll for damage for all of tehm
God: 21:48:42: Tint; they won't do any damage
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:48:46: uses longsword to attack beastie
Ryu: 21:48:55: 11 13 10
Lotho: 21:48:56: sneak attack still wont do damage will it?
God: 21:49:16: Lotho, any damage you do above 10 will be counted
God: 21:49:22: your sneak attack does 3d6 extra damage
God: 21:49:25: so yeah, it will do damage
God: 21:49:31: Ryu, your flurry of blows hit it and hurt it
Tint Whistler: 21:49:36: Does anyone have any fireoil or acid that they can put on a weapon or throw at it?
God: 21:49:42: also did you see the prior note about conjure animals?
Lotho: 21:49:51: have no above 10
God: 21:50:23: Lotho: your usual weapon damage is 1d6. Add 3d6 and the +2 for the song Tint is sinign, your max damage is 26 hps
God: 21:50:41: Ory, do you attack with your longsword?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:50:54: takes potion of barkskin
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:51:01: aye attack with longsword
Lotho: 21:51:08: 3d6, how?
God: 21:51:18: okay, Oryndiel is preparing for combat - Ory, not yet, you spend this round taking the potion
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:51:25: meh!
God: 21:51:27: Lotho, the sneak attack is +3d6 to your normal damage
God: 21:51:31: Tint are you still singing?
Lotho: 21:51:33: oh
God: 21:51:41: do you do that Lotho?
Tint Whistler: 21:51:42: (music)
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:51:56: It's a karaoke marathon (music) (dance)
Lotho: 21:52:26: attack 19 (plus any singing bonus) damage 19 (+2?)
God: 21:52:34: Lotho: yes
God: 21:52:36: you hit
God: 21:52:39: doing a lot of damage!
Lotho: 21:52:47: wow!
God: 21:53:02: while the beast is struggling out of its cocoon of lillusory webbing, you smash it in the ribs, and hear something crack
Lotho: 21:53:12: oops, make that
Lotho: 21:53:13: +2
God: 21:53:14: meanwhile Ryu is whacking it in the face and our cohorts striking from behind
God: 21:53:44: two of those cohorts did real damage!
Ryu: 21:53:46: ](punch)
Ryu: 21:53:54: (punch)
God: 21:53:58: it rips out of the webs, which disappear
God: 21:54:06: Ryu and Ory, your turn, what do you do?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:54:17: longsword at beastie's ugly head
Lotho: 21:54:21: um, i'm only sposed to do 2d6 extra, so 3d6 allup
God: 21:54:22: roll 'em
Ryu: 21:54:30: same thing I always do: 17 17 11
Lotho: 21:54:32: confused
God: 21:54:38: righty ho, so what was the real damage? knock off a d6, Lotho
Lotho: 21:54:50: i'll do ti again
Lotho: 21:55:01: 16
God: 21:55:03: okay
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:55:03: 17
God: 21:55:09: Ory you hit
God: 21:55:14: roll damage (remember +2)
God: 21:55:17: Ryu what do you do?
Lotho: 21:55:29: thinks about casting a magic circle and curling up to sleep
Ryu: 21:55:38: hit it
God: 21:55:43: Ryu roll 'em
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:55:47: 6!!
God: 21:55:52: ory no damage, roll second attack
Ryu: 21:55:56: see the post before Lotho's "Lotho's confused"
God: 21:56:06: oh sorry Ryu all your strikes missed
Ryu: 21:56:09: yay
God: 21:56:09: Lotho, what do you do?
God: 21:56:12: Tint?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:56:13: 9 - my rolls have gone all poo!
God: 21:56:20: Ory missed with his second strike
Lotho: 21:56:21: i cant sneak again can i?
God: 21:56:24: no
Tint Whistler: 21:56:27: That illusion seems like a good idea...
God: 21:56:37: tint same thing won't work twice
Lotho: 21:56:44: anyone need healing?
God: 21:57:01: Lotho: Ryu does!
Oryndiel the Ponce: 21:57:02: doesn't anyone want to summon a monster? I can't at the mo
God: 21:57:10: Tint, what do you do?
Lotho: 21:57:27: moderately heals ryu
God: 21:57:29: One of the cohorts (one of Lothos armed with a greatsword) takes a big, serious chop out of the beast
God: 21:57:37: Lotho: roll 2d8+5 for that
Ryu: 21:57:48: how much points are restoried by moderate heals?
Tint Whistler: 21:57:49: Illusion of the floor getting soft under it and trapping it
God: 21:57:52: The beast attacks Ryu once, adn then the room plunges into darkness
Lotho: 21:57:54: 9
Lotho: 21:58:06: bugger
God: 21:58:09: Tint: roll 2d10+ level to beat its spell resistance, tehn do a sepllcraft check
Lotho: 21:58:10: breaks out sunrod
God: 21:58:16: Ryu: you gain 9 hps
Tint Whistler: 21:58:32: vs spell res = 16
God: 21:58:40: Ryu, the beast's strike hits you, doing 10hps damage
Tint Whistler: 21:58:46: spell craft = 26
God: 21:58:47: good thing Lotho healed you! It has clawed at your belly
Lotho: 21:58:48: haha. bugger
Ryu: 21:58:54: back to square 1
Lotho: 21:59:00: or -1 rather
Tint Whistler: 21:59:07: I hope this thing isn't regenerating!
Ryu: 21:59:12: yes, thanks
God: 21:59:13: Tint casts an illusion of hte floor being soft, and then the room plunges into darkness
Lotho: 21:59:23: again?
Tint Whistler: 21:59:24: Can I cast light?
God: 21:59:29: Lotho snaps the sunrod but it makes no difference
God: 21:59:30: Tint, yes
Tint Whistler: 21:59:36: Spell craft?
God: 21:59:39: nah
God: 22:00:03: the room returns to its previous dim light, just in time to reveal the beast BEHIND Ryu
God: 22:00:06: Ryu, make a listen check
Ryu: 22:00:13: aieee!
Tint Whistler: 22:00:28: sneaky blighter!
Ryu: 22:00:30: 21
God: 22:00:40: it strikes you from behind, once only
Ryu: 22:00:42: it's like Cluedo!
Tint Whistler: 22:00:49: cluedo?
God: 22:00:51: BUT I ROLLED A FUMBLE
God: 22:00:53: it misses completely
God: 22:01:04: fucking lucky Ryu, this thing has sneak attack - you saw what it did to Tint before
God: 22:01:10: you can all attack again
Ryu: 22:01:11: yesssss!
Ryu: 22:01:19: tint: I'll explain later
God: 22:01:20: (Tint the spell didn't work - this thing teleports)
Tint Whistler: 22:01:29: grrr...
God: 22:01:32: Ryu, Ory, Lotho, do you attack?
Oryndiel the Ponce: 22:01:40: I longsword it again.
Lotho: 22:01:45: sneak?
God: 22:01:50: Lotho, can't do
Ryu: 22:01:54: yep
Lotho: 22:01:58: doesnt bother then
Oryndiel the Ponce: 22:02:04: heh
God: 22:02:12: Lotho it can see you right in front of it, hence no point
God: 22:02:17: Ryu, roll your attacks
Ryu: 22:02:17: 30 30 27
God: 22:02:24: now roll your damage for all 3...
Ryu: 22:02:34: 13 12 10
Lotho: 22:02:35: hang on: inflict serious wounds
Lotho: 22:02:37: my last pps
God: 22:02:41: Lotho: you can try that
God: 22:02:48: you need to a) roll 2d10+ your level
God: 22:02:56: then you need to roll a touch attack
Lotho: 22:03:00: ug
God: 22:03:08: Ryu: your blows hurt you and it, but did some damage
Lotho: 22:03:10: 21
Ryu: 22:03:11: die you unspeakable spawn of the underdark!
God: 22:03:18: Lotho: your spell will affect it
God: 22:03:22: now roll a touch attack
Ryu: 22:03:28: by all that's holy, submit!
Lotho: 22:03:30: whats that? morningstar?
God: 22:03:43: (the total value of which is on your skills and abilities sheet in the section just above your morningstar)
God: 22:03:48: Ory, roll your longsword
Lotho: 22:04:12: 18
God: 22:04:16: you hit!!!
God: 22:04:22: now roll the damage, 2d8+3
Ryu: 22:04:25: breathes heavily, rivulets of blood streaking down his arms
Tint Whistler: 22:04:28: <you sound surprised>
God: 22:04:42: Tint: I am surprised!
Lotho: 22:04:42: 17
Oryndiel the Ponce: 22:04:49: 1st: 22, 2nd: 14
Lotho: 22:04:54: 3? 5.
God: 22:05:03: Lotho reaches forward and says "by all that's holy, submit!"
God: 22:05:10: he then touches the beast, and a charge of power runs down his ar
God: 22:05:11: m
God: 22:05:22: this holy power causes the beast 17 hps of damage
God: 22:05:26: which kill it outright
Ryu: 22:05:31: GAAAAAH!
Lotho: 22:05:32: eep
God: 22:05:36: it stumbles and falls dead to the ground
Tint Whistler: 22:05:36: (whew)
Oryndiel the Ponce: 22:05:43: huzzah for that (clap)
Ryu: 22:05:43: (punch)
God: 22:05:45: For good measure, Ory hacks its head off with his longsword
Tint Whistler: 22:05:47: Nice spell Lotho!!!
Ryu: 22:05:48: YAY!
God: 22:05:50: GOOD WORK
Ryu: 22:05:52: good one Lotho
God: 22:05:58: just a little hint for the future: this creature had spell resistance
Oryndiel the Ponce: 22:06:05: yay lotho (party)
Lotho: 22:06:07: mm
God: 22:06:09: you can choose feats which help you penetrate spell resistance
Tint Whistler: 22:06:10: Nasty!
God: 22:06:11: this is useful
Lotho: 22:06:12: huzzah
God: 22:06:26: also you need to be able to charm your weapons to take different forms (holy weapons would have done full damage)
God: 22:06:31: Ishall give you more info on this later.
Ryu: 22:06:35: now will someone bind up my knuckles?
Lotho: 22:06:42: can't, no pps

Oryndiel the Ponce: 22:07:16: god says ploise wait a moe.
Ryu: 22:07:38: rests himself against the wall, dripping sweat
Ryu: 22:07:51: sometimes being a wizardly type can come in handy
