[00:19] <@DMFernin> he sets it to do that when he doesn't want to be disturbed by it ringing
[00:19] <viktor_the_cleric> hmm

[00:19] <@DMFernin> friggin Fred... leave it to him to sleep through anything
[00:19] * Fred_is_9 (~chatzilla@cpe-24-25-134-111.nycap.res.rr.com) has joined #Baryus

[00:22] <@Derickt> why would the prog have its own server?
[00:22] <viktor_the_cleric> I never knew your number
[00:23] <Taran_Almasy> okay, looks like we're playing here then
[00:23] <Falash> :/
[00:23] <Fred_is_9> You don't know my phone number?
[00:23] <Taran_Almasy> could be worse, some of us might not have been able to sign in through the webclient
[00:24] <@DMFernin> thinking on that... you might want to try a client that doesn't suck balls, Sathien
[00:24] <@DMFernin> the web client is known for randomly disconnecting
[00:24] <Taran_Almasy> I'm a lazy fuck, if push comes to shove I'll dl mIRC again

[00:27] <viktor_the_cleric> let's roll Razz no pun intended
[00:27] <Falash> ...
[00:27] <@DMFernin> okay... Scene: The city of Baryus.
[00:27] <Falash> nevermind
[00:28] <@DMFernin> You are seated amidst a large crowd in the town square in Baryus.
[00:28] <@DMFernin> You are all sitting in the third row back from a raised platform at the north end of the square.
[00:28] <@DMFernin> There are maybe 20 people sitting in each row.
[00:28] <@DMFernin> The crowd is abuzz, chattering about the meeting of the first Adventurer's Guild in the duchy of Baryus.
[00:29] <@DMFernin> A burly dwarf walks to the middle of a raised platform and holds his arms up for silence.
[00:29] <@DMFernin> Gradually, the crowd quiets down.
[00:29] * DMFernin is now known as Ravo_Graycrystal
[00:29] <@Ravo_Graycrystal> Right, then... My name's Ravo Graycrystal, and I'm the head of this newly established Adventurer's Guild.
[00:29] <@Ravo_Graycrystal> Welcome, all of ya, to the first ever Guild Festival!
[00:30] <@Ravo_Graycrystal> In a minute, you'll all be assigned to your teams and will be free to begin your new life as adventurers. There are representatives from each of the towns here, you can speak with them to decide where you want to start your first mission.
[00:31] <@Ravo_Graycrystal> Good luck to all of ya, and enjoy the festival!
[00:31] * Ravo_Graycrystal is now known as DMFernin
[00:31] * @Derickt mutters
[00:31] <@Derickt> Assigned teams. I wonder who I'll be stuck with
[00:31] <@DMFernin> The crowd cheers. Ravo steps off the platform, and enters the Wandering King's Bar.
[00:31] * @Derickt claps to keep face
[00:32] <@DMFernin> The crowd begins to chatter idly
[00:32] <viktor_the_cleric> heh... that guild leader has the right Idea.... I could go for a drink
[00:32] <Falash> *Falash snores softly*
[00:32] <@DMFernin> A female halfling, dressed in overly long, overly formal robes, steps onto the platform.
[00:33] * DMFernin is now known as Iato
[00:33] * viktor_the_cleric whistles
[00:33] * Taran_Almasy scans for any sign of a ranger, druid, or "cleric of nature" he smirks at the idea
[00:33] <Fred_is_9> do I see Falash sleeping?
[00:33] <@Iato> OOC: Fred, kindly get rid of the _is_9
[00:33] * Fred_is_9 is now known as Fred_
[00:33] <Fred_> the name Fred is held
[00:33] <Fred_> this is the best I can do
[00:33] * @Iato nods.
[00:33] <@Iato> Ahem, attention please.
[00:34] <@Iato> Team assignment will now begin.
[00:34] <@Iato> If you would kindly follow me, row by row, starting with the first.
[00:34] * Iato is now known as DMFernin
[00:34] <@DMFernin> The first row stands up and follows her into a house, which has a small sign reading, "Team Assignment" nailed over the door.
[00:34] <@DMFernin> The crowd begins to chatter again, and you see that it'll be a while before your row is called up.
[00:35] * @Derickt begins appraising the people in his row
[00:35] <Fred_> Do I see Falash sleeping?
[00:35] * viktor_the_cleric has his eyes focused on the house
[00:35] <Taran_Almasy> [[vote to designate typing like this as OOC]]

[00:36] * viktor_the_cleric turns his head
[00:36] <viktor_the_cleric> you know, you keep saying that, this cleric might just go to the dark side Neutral
[00:37] <Falash> [[OOC in brackets Razz]]
[00:37] <@Derickt> [[now might be the best time for each person to tell me, and everyone what they look like]]
[00:37] <Falash> [[my coinpurse? Wink]]
[00:37] <Fred_> [[If you're asleep, that's a large minus to your spot]]

[00:39] <@Derickt> [[human in travellers clothes, several puches at his waist, and a katar in each hand
[00:40] <@DMFernin> The halfling exits the house, and calls for row 2.
[00:40] <Fred_> [[Young male with a brown goatee and grey eyes, doesn't really stand out too much but damn he looks good]]
[00:40] <@Derickt> did row 1 exit the house?
[00:40] <@DMFernin> they exited the house out of a side door
[00:40] <Falash> [[IS that OOC? Dig, dig.]]
[00:41] <@DMFernin> [[no, it's a legitimate question]
[00:41] <viktor_the_cleric> I was going to say that they never left... but I guess the side door receives alot of use
[00:41] <@Derickt> all as one group? or in smaller groups?
[00:41] <@DMFernin> smaller groups, ranging from 5 to 8 people
[00:41] <Falash> [[I'm just saying aren't questions to the DM OOC?]]
[00:41] <@DMFernin> [[not always, he's trying to figure out what's going on around him]]
[00:41] <@Derickt> [[the C in OOC stands for context, so no]]
[00:42] <Fred_> [[the question of did they leave is perfectly reasonable to be in character]]
[00:42] <Taran_Almasy> [[C = Character/Context]]
[00:42] <Falash> [[OOC was Out of Character?]]

[00:44] <Falash> [[you can't. Not your turn...]]
[00:44] <viktor_the_cleric> [[can't enter till the halfling allows us]]
[00:45] <Falash> [[RIght?]]
[00:45] <@DMFernin> Taran enters the house, bumping into the halfling as she exits.
[00:45] * @Derickt tilts his head back
[00:45] * viktor_the_cleric laughs

[00:46] * Taran_Almasy bows apologetically "Pardon, I am not used to dealing with small folk from where I hail"
[00:46] <@Iota> You must have some sort of precognition, I was just coming out to call on your row.

[01:02] * Falash elbows the man stealing the knife
[01:02] <viktor_the_cleric> You have to give him credit here... at least he tried
[01:02] * Falash winks
[01:02] <@DMFernin> [[I'm not even gonna bother rolling for the NPC adventurers at this point, given how many PC's spotted him]]
[01:02] <Falash> In a rush, eh?

[01:04] <viktor_the_cleric> with someone as cute as that, maybe working for this guild will be worth the while
[01:05] <@DMFernin> She reads from a sheet of paper in her hands a list of names, several adventurers from row 3 and a few of the people who were in the room when you entered follow her through the side door.
[01:05] * @Derickt looks around at who is left
[01:05] <@DMFernin> After a moment, she returns into the room.

[01:07] <@DMFernin> Iota returns into the room, again studying the piece of paper in her hand.
[01:07] * Taran_Almasy watches in Iota's direction
[01:07] * Falash nibbles his cheese
[01:07] <@DMFernin> [[she wasn't in the room to hear that, viktor]]
[01:08] * DMFernin is now known as Iota
[01:08] <viktor_the_cleric> [[ then let me repeat]]
[01:08] <viktor_the_cleric> so... are we all set, is the party going to be just you and me Iota? Wink
[01:08] <@Derickt> So this is who I'll be workin with?
[01:08] * Falash leans over to fred "10 to 1 she'd kill him with one punch"
[01:08] <@Iota> Would Derickt, Falash, Fred, Suntoer, Viktor, and Taran kindly follow me?
[01:08] * @Iota heads over towards the side door.
[01:09] * Suntoer stands up
[01:09] * Falash follows
[01:09] * viktor_the_cleric follows right behind her
[01:09] * Taran_Almasy follows
[01:09] <@Derickt> Damnit
[01:09] * @Derickt follows
[01:09] * Suntoer follows behind
[01:09] * Iota is now known as DMFernin
[01:09] * Fred_ follows
[01:09] <@DMFernin> Inside the next room is a table piled high with badges, and another table piled high with little booklets.
[01:10] <@DMFernin> Another door is directly opposite the one you just came through.
[01:10] * Suntoer looks around the room
[01:10] * @Derickt begins inspecting badges
[01:10] * Falash yawns.
[01:10] * viktor_the_cleric picjs up a booklet
[01:10] <@DMFernin> [[if we were using the map here, the badges are on the right, the booklets are on the left]]
[01:10] <viktor_the_cleric> [[picks
[01:10] <viktor_the_cleric> ]]
[01:10] * DMFernin is now known as Iota
[01:10] <@Iota> Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild!
[01:10] <@Iota> You are now officially Team Twelve.
[01:11] <Taran_Almasy> [[Kagebushin no jutsu!!!]]
[01:11] <@Iota> You can collect your Guild badges now, they are yours to keep.
[01:11] <Falash> Twelve?
[01:11] * @Derickt passes everyone a badge
[01:11] <Falash> Kind of... meh...
[01:11] <@Iota> Yes, it's just a simple numbering system, there were eleven teams made before you today.
[01:11] <Falash> Why not Team Mongoose!
[01:11] <Falash> That's a good team name!
[01:11] * Falash smiles
[01:11] * Fred_ puts his badge in his belt pouch
[01:11] <@Iota> Feel free to call yourselves whatever you wish, Team Twelve is merely a bookkeeping name.
[01:11] * Taran_Almasy places the badge on his armor
[01:12] <Falash> Team Mongoose...
[01:12] * viktor_the_cleric takes a badge and puts it in his coat
[01:12] * Suntoer grabs badge and smacks it to his chest
[01:12] <viktor_the_cleric> uh no falash
[01:12] <@Iota> The booklets contain information on the Guild itself, as well as a small amount on each of the cities in the duchy of Baryus.
[01:12] * Falash grabs his badge and tosses it up in the air and catches it
[01:12] * viktor_the_cleric grabs a book
[01:12] * Taran_Almasy winces "Not unless we gain a history for fighting serpentfolk"
[01:12] <Falash> [[don't know my name, do you?]]
[01:12] <viktor_the_cleric> [[I do when you said it in line]]
[01:12] * Taran_Almasy puts the book in his pack
[01:13] * Fred_ passes on the book, hes done enough traveling to know most of what it'd say anyway
[01:13] * @Derickt passes out booklets to everyone except the druid and the cleric
[01:13] <Falash> ...
[01:13] <Falash> [[Razz I forgot about that]]
[01:13] <@Iota> You can accept missions from anyone, but you must report whatever you do to a Guild representative.
[01:13] <@Iota> There should always be at least one in any of the towns.
[01:13] * Suntoer takes a booklet
[01:14] * @Derickt put the extra booklet back on the table
[01:14] <Fred_> Just how detailed must these reports be, m'lady?
[01:14] <Suntoer> [[good thing i know how to read]]
[01:14] * Falash flips through the booklet
[01:14] <@Derickt> [[I assume I know how to read]]
[01:14] <Taran_Almasy> you would be the representative then, Iota?
[01:14] <Taran_Almasy> [[barbarians are illterate to start with, everyone else is fine]]
[01:14] <Fred_> [[Everyone but barbarians know how to read, unless you took illiterate as a flaw]]
[01:14] <@Iota> There's no paperwork involved on your end, you just have to describe to the representative the details of what you did, and any treasures you may have gained in the process.
[01:15] * Fred_ nods
[01:15] <Taran_Almasy> [[didn't realize we were allowing merits/flaws, oh well]]
[01:15] <Fred_> I gained a large knife earlier
[01:15] <@Iota> Oh, my, no, I'm no representative, I'm just a bookkeeper for the Guild.
[01:15] <viktor_the_cleric> let me guess, you guys get a cut of the treasure...
[01:15] * Taran_Almasy groans at Fred and palms his scimitar with a smile
[01:15] <@Iota> [[is responding to things in the order they come up, so I may respond to something from quite a while ago]]
[01:16] <@Iota> A large knife, you say? Perhaps like the one that went missing from our cheese wheel?
[01:16] * Falash nibbles the cheese
[01:16] <@Iota> Kindly return it, there are many more adventurers who may want some cheese.
[01:16] <Fred_> It wasn't in a cheese wheel when I had found it
[01:17] <@Iota> And I wouldn't want Team Twelve to start off with a black mark in our books.
[01:17] <Falash> Now, actually... It was
[01:17] <viktor_the_cleric> hey man, just drop the knife, of all the goblins around here, you could find another
[01:17] <Fred_> I believe it was on the table, if you wish to argue semantics
[01:18] <Falash> I'm not a semantic!
[01:18] * Fred_ opens the door, tosses the knife back on the table
[01:18] <Falash> I'm a gnome you daft bugger!
[01:18] <@Derickt> How about we find out who we need to talk to and go talk to them?
[01:18] <viktor_the_cleric> whatever
[01:18] <@Iota> Thank you for returning our knife.
[01:18] * @Derickt crosses his arms
[01:18] <Falash> [[do you gain EXP for that quest?]]
[01:18] <@Iota> Now, there are representatives from each of the towns among the festival.
[01:19] <@Iota> You may talk to them to decide which town you wish to start your missions in.
[01:19] <@Iota> Or, if you have a location in mind already, you can head out immediately.
[01:19] <Fred_> [[so, ive learned you guys will sell out a party member at absolutely no gain to yourselves... nice to know]]
[01:19] * Falash starts playing with his badge
[01:19] <viktor_the_cleric> anyways...
[01:19] <@Iota> Head on out and start your new lives, I must be off to attend to Team Thirteen!
[01:20] <Falash> Lucky bastards
[01:20] <@Iota> ...Though, I have a bad feeling about that team...
[01:20] * Iota is now known as DMFernin
[01:20] <Fred_> [[hehe, i didn't want the knife, i just want to see how you guys react to stuff]]
[01:20] <@DMFernin> Iota gives you all a short nod, and heads back through the door.
[01:20] <Falash> You want to go for some beer?
[01:20] <viktor_the_cleric> that woman never answered my question
[01:20] <Falash> I say we go to the pub.
[01:21] <@Derickt> Alight all, let's get outta this house, smells like... adventurer
[01:21] <Fred_> I'm with Falash
[01:21] <viktor_the_cleric> sure...
[01:21] <Taran_Almasy> beer is the nectar of the nitwit
[01:21] <Falash> Aye
[01:21] <Suntoer> [[ha]]
[01:21] <Suntoer> Very well.
[01:21] <Falash> Then you are aquainted well with it
[01:21] * @Derickt leaves
[01:21] <viktor_the_cleric> meh... whatever, call me a nitwit then I need a drink
[01:21] <Taran_Almasy> just those that become too acquainted
[01:21] * @Derickt heads to the bar
[01:21] * viktor_the_cleric follows derickt to the bar
[01:22] * Taran_Almasy shrugs and heads off to take in the city
[01:22] * Falash places the booklet back on the table
[01:22] * Suntoer trails behind
[01:22] * Falash heads off to the bar
[01:22] <@Derickt> [[adds badge and booklet to inventory]]
[01:22] * Fred_ as taran leaves, prestidigitate the words 'Arse Face' on the back of his cloak/clothing
[01:22] * viktor_the_cleric takes a seat next to Derickt in the bar
[01:22] <Falash> Very Happy
[01:22] * Fred_ then makes his way to the pub
[01:23] * Falash enters pub
[01:23] <@Derickt> [[whats the url for the map?]]
[01:23] <viktor_the_cleric> you seem pretty solid and normal Derickt
[01:23] <Suntoer> [[ http://www.ferahgo.8m.com/Map.png ]]
[01:23] <viktor_the_cleric> [[O
[01:23] <@Derickt> I don't enjoy standing around
[01:23] <viktor_the_cleric> [[I have to head to bed soon]]
[01:24] * Falash looks around for someone rich
[01:24] <viktor_the_cleric> still, I figure we should pool our resources more together and hold our own little "party" just the two of us for now
[01:24] <@DMFernin> The Wandering King is a pub where noble and commoner alike come to get sloshed.
[01:24] <@Derickt> I say we head down to Albedus
[01:24] <@DMFernin> Rumor has it that the bar didn't get its name for no reason...
[01:25] <Fred_> bardic knowledge
[01:25] <Fred_> do i know why
[01:25] <Fred_> !random 1 20
[01:25] <@Lexiabot9000> 4
[01:25] <Fred_> aww
[01:25] * Falash sits next to the nearest noble man and elbows him. "G'day."
[01:25] <Fred_> i dont
[01:25] * DMFernin is now known as RandomNoble
[01:25] <@RandomNoble> Hmph. Do I know you, Gnome?
[01:25] <viktor_the_cleric> so what do you say Derickt?
[01:25] <@Derickt> There's people from all over comin' and goin'
[01:26] <Falash> You might well. I am Falash, the Great Gnome.
[01:26] <viktor_the_cleric> heh... fine so much for that offer...
[01:26] <@Derickt> I think I'd like to have that half-orc around
[01:26] <Falash> I travel the land and collect much treasure... Treasure for noble men such as yourself
[01:26] <@RandomNoble> Never heard of you. Now, leave me be.
[01:26] * Suntoer grumbles
[01:27] <Falash> Ah. But sir. For a small fee... You can purchase what goods I... come across on my journey.
[01:27] * Taran_Almasy puts on a small show with Orseph for some children
[01:27] <viktor_the_cleric> He maybe a half-orc, but he still has Orc in him
[01:27] * viktor_the_cleric stands up
[01:28] <@Derickt> which means when the goin' gets tough, he's gonna smash some skulls
[01:28] <Fred_> [[Taran, I bet the children are loving the word Arse Face scrawled on your back for the next hour]]
[01:28] <@RandomNoble> I see by your little trinket that you're in that bloody Guild, Gnome.
[01:28] * @Derickt grabs viktor's sleeve
[01:28] <viktor_the_cleric> True, but can you trust him enough to not crush your skull?
[01:28] * viktor_the_cleric looks down at Derickt?
[01:28] <Falash> Which means I get a good selection of people to... acquire goods from.
[01:28] <@Derickt> Heh, I think we'll be ok
[01:29] <@Derickt> Let's go talk to 'im
[01:29] <@RandomNoble> Bah, waste of your life, you'll end up dead in a cave somewhere. Or at the tip of a gnoll's spear. Away with you already.
[01:29] <@Derickt> Maybe you'll feel better
[01:29] <viktor_the_cleric> Fine, lead the way
[01:29] * Falash looks puzzled.
[01:29] <@Derickt> Barmaid, gimme a tankard of your strongest
[01:29] * RandomNoble is now known as DMFernin
[01:30] <Falash> Fine fine. Have it your way. I will find some OTHER noble to sponsor my raiding of a treasure hoard
[01:30] <@DMFernin> The barmaid gives you a tankard of ale.
[01:30] * viktor_the_cleric sits back down next to Derickt
[01:30] * Falash slowly wanders to the bar
[01:30] <viktor_the_cleric> So I take it no luck screwing of the nobles?
[01:30] * @Derickt walk over to Suntoer
[01:30] <Falash> No. Bastards. All of them.
[01:30] * Taran_Almasy walks around town some more
[01:30] <@Derickt> Here man. Name's Derickt. What's yours?
[01:30] * viktor_the_cleric gets up and follows Derickt
[01:30] * UsaSatsui (~chatzilla@66-189-117-174.dhcp.oxfr.ma.charter.com) has joined #Baryus
[01:30] <viktor_the_cleric> follow us Falash
[01:30] * Fred_ gets a pint, then hops up and performs a song
[01:31] <Suntoer> I am Suntoer.
[01:31] <Falash> eh?
[01:31] <Falash> But I didn't even get a drink!
[01:31] <@DMFernin> [[hey Satsui, woot for technical difficulties]]
[01:31] <viktor_the_cleric> just follow me
[01:31] <UsaSatsui> (don't mind me, and I really can't play anyways. I'm only here for about a half hour)
[01:31] * @Derickt gives Suntoer the ale
[01:31] <Fred_> You can drink your fancy ales, you can drink them by the flagon!
[01:31] <Falash> you owe me a drink later.
[01:31] <Taran_Almasy> [[vik's gotta go soon anyway]]
[01:31] * Falash follows them
[01:31] * Falash grumbles
[01:31] <Fred_> But the only brew for the brave and true, comes from the Green Dragon!
[01:31] <Suntoer> I haven't much else to impart to you. I accept your ale.
[01:31] <UsaSatsui> [[The guy I was supposed to train didn't show, so I can at least sneak online]]
[01:31] <@Derickt> One sec
[01:32] <viktor_the_cleric> As long as we can trust you to crush the enemies heads and not ours
[01:32] <Taran_Almasy> [[what say we wrap this session up around 2 a,m. eastern?]]
[01:32] * @Derickt goes back and pays the barmaid, and flashes a smile, hoping she doesn't know him already
[01:32] <Falash> [yes]]
[01:32] <@DMFernin> [[sounds good, Sathien]]
[01:32] <Falash> [[I have to leave then too. :/]]
[01:32] * Suntoer takes a swig
[01:32] * Fred_ rolls for his perform sing
[01:32] <@Derickt> [[works for me]]
[01:32] <Falash> [[at least I can't promise that I will be on past then]]

[01:33] <UsaSatsui> [[Well, If you're gonna end at 2, I can play until then. Smile ]]
[01:33] <Fred_> 12! is everyone enjoying my song?
[01:33] <Taran_Almasy> Gather Info
[01:33] <viktor_the_cleric> Well, if that's the case, does anyone know how much the inn costs?

[01:33] <@Lexiabot9000> 7
[01:33] <UsaSatsui> [[If you can slip me in. If not...fuck it]]
[01:33] <@DMFernin> Fred sings moderately well, no one is enraged by his singing, but the bar doesn't burst into a rousing song, either.
[01:33] <viktor_the_cleric> [[ Satsui the king]]
[01:33] <Taran_Almasy> [[He IS the Rabbit King!!!]]
[01:33] <viktor_the_cleric> [[possible story line Razz]]
[01:33] <Falash> [[He lives on the moon!]]
[01:34] * Suntoer takes another swig to drown out the awful noise
[01:34] * viktor_the_cleric goes to the bar maid
[01:34] <Fred_> [[Ok... Time to break out the big guns...]]
[01:34] * @Derickt motions the Druid over
[01:34] <UsaSatsui> [[Candy Mountain, Charlie!]]
[01:34] <Taran_Almasy> [[so, did I learn anything from the gather Info check?]]
[01:34] * Taran_Almasy looks over in Derickt's direction
[01:34] <Fred_> Just a small town girl... Living in a lonely world... She took a midnight train going an-y-wheeere!
[01:34] <viktor_the_cleric> Do you know how much the Inn costs pretty lady?

[01:34] <Fred_> 19!
[01:34] * Suntoer looks over at the bard
[01:34] * Suntoer tries not to show any emotion
[01:34] <Falash> [[I would say "Train?" But they are in zelda so...]]
[01:35] <@Derickt> I was just saying that I think we should head down to Alberdus
[01:35] <Fred_> dude, a caravan train
[01:35] <viktor_the_cleric> [[Journey]]
[01:35] <@DMFernin> Taran wandered the city of Baryus, chatting with the locals and the representatives of the various cities, and learned of the plights that each town is facing, hence the reason for the Adventurer's Guild being formed in the first place.
[01:35] <viktor_the_cleric> nevermind
[01:35] * viktor_the_cleric goes back to the group
[01:35] <UsaSatsui> [[No train! This isn't Ebberon!]]
[01:35] <Taran_Almasy> <obviously to Derickt> I forget, what's going on there?
[01:35] <Fred_> [[the word would have a definition, train means more than just the ONE form of transport]]
[01:35] * Falash looks for an attractive female in the pub
[01:36] <@Derickt> Nothing that I know of, but people from all over come and go
[01:36] <viktor_the_cleric> I was going to put in for a room at the inn for the 8 of us
[01:36] <@Derickt> If there's something to be heard, and we don't hear it her, we'll hear it there
[01:37] <Taran_Almasy> I suppose if things were fine there, there wouldn't be so much egress
[01:37] <@DMFernin> [[well, right now, Taran's a good source of info, since he just talked to all the representatives]]
[01:37] <viktor_the_cleric> but I figure as of right now, our best bet is to camp outside of the city for the night, until the morning... I'm sure a job will come hopping along
[01:37] <Taran_Almasy> *Orseph caws at the word "egress"*
[01:37] <@Derickt> Well Taran, what did you find out about Alberdus?
[01:37] <Taran_Almasy> [[yes, what DID I find out?]]
[01:38] <Taran_Almasy> all the cities, not just Alberdus are having issues with monsters and.or civil unrest. Albedus is having problems with a mad mage
[01:38] <Fred_> [[you found out the guild was formed because there's bad shit going down everywhere]]
[01:39] <@Derickt> Interesting
[01:39] <Taran_Almasy> And if such a being is tainting Gaia, such as those...owlbear creatures. I feel it to be a fitting venture
[01:39] <viktor_the_cleric> hmm so I take it the mad mage is a good target to start with... I think a direct attack would be foolhardy but underestimated
[01:40] <Falash> I say we ignore that
[01:40] <Falash> let the other teams handle that
[01:40] <Fred_> [[afk 5 minutes, i just follow the party where they go, or continue to sing songs in the pub as entertainment, I take 10 on any rolls i may need to]]
[01:40] <@Derickt> Well, if there's action anywhere we go, Ceron's pretty close
[01:40] <Falash> we can just rack up the loot and do small, high paid jobs
[01:40] <Taran_Almasy> We should research his madness first, maybe he sticks to illusion and transmutation, fire and lightning would work just fine
[01:40] <viktor_the_cleric> [[I need to goto sleep]]
[01:41] <viktor_the_cleric> You do that, I'm going to go take a nap under the tree outside of towns north gate
[01:41] <Taran_Almasy> [[motion to end the session now that a destination has been gleaned, any seconds?]]
[01:41] <viktor_the_cleric> [[second]]
[01:41] <Falash> [[sure.]]
[01:41] <@Derickt> which destination is that?
[01:41] <@DMFernin> [[works for me, but it seems the destination is still being debated]]
[01:41] <@Derickt> Let's go to Ceron. It's nearby, and action is action
[01:41] <Taran_Almasy> [[then we've reached the crossroads of a destination, better?]]
[01:42] <viktor_the_cleric> Fine by me
[01:42] <@Derickt> Taran?
[01:42] * Taran_Almasy thinks
[01:42] * @Derickt looks at Suntoer
[01:42] <@Derickt> You in big man?
[01:42] <Taran_Almasy> Ceron is dealing with Gnolls among other things. Any of you speak it?
[01:43] <Suntoer> I will go anywhere there is battle.
[01:43] <Falash> Gnolls?
[01:43] <Falash> Really?
[01:43] <Taran_Almasy> Hyena-men
[01:43] <Falash> Not much money with gnolls...
[01:43] <viktor_the_cleric> wish I were... but no
[01:43] <Taran_Almasy> I speak their "language"
[01:44] <Taran_Almasy> though any half-drunk orc could probably do the same
[01:44] <viktor_the_cleric> heh
[01:44] * Taran_Almasy clears his throat "No offense"
[01:44] <Falash> We can have a drunk half orc
[01:44] <viktor_the_cleric> and I thought I was racist...
[01:44] * Suntoer glares
[01:44] * Taran_Almasy sighs "Ceron it is then."
[01:44] * Falash pats the big guy on the back
[01:44] <viktor_the_cleric> lets go then
[01:45] <Fred_> [[back]]
[01:45] <@Derickt> Hey man, it'll be fun. You'll see
[01:45] <Taran_Almasy> [[we can do a recap on who all isn't together at the next session, agreed?]]
[01:45] <Falash> [[super agreed]]
[01:45] <@Derickt> [[sure]]
[01:45] <viktor_the_cleric> [[agreed]]
[01:45] <Suntoer> [[uh huh]]

[01:45] <@DMFernin> k, that'll wrap things up for tonight, then
[01:45] <Taran_Almasy> [[well Fernin just needs to gavel and the session...ends]]

The later ones do]] Fred: [[moving out of threatened area is an aoo if it's more than a 5 foot]] Taran: [[looks like Suntoer gets another swing then, if he wants it]] DM: [[I'll let you D&D buffs argue this one out, I've never understood the AOO rules fully]] Suzume: [[Regardless, since he walked around him, he provokes]] DM: [[Take a swing, Suntoer]] Suzume: Sunoter, you can take an attack at $4 Suntoer: [[just damage?]] Suzume: [[You still need to roll to hit Suntoer rolls _Attack (d20 + 1 + 4): [9 + 1 + 4] = 14 Taran: [[if it's a withdraw [[full-round action]] she can move 2x speed and avoid an AoO]] Suntoer rolls _Damage (2d4): [1 + 2] = 3 DM: Your swing misses, the blow glances off of what little armor the Gnoll was wearing. Fred: [[whoah wait what? i could have not gotten a character killed by withdrawing? god damn it]] Falash yells out "WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM?!"

Fred: 'You mother raping sack of horse shit, I'll eat your soul!!' Fred: Indeed Falash: [[do we hear it as well?]] Fred: It's sound emanating from me and directly in front of the Gnoll equal to the sound of 6 people screaming at the top of their lungs Fred: Damn right you hear it DM: [[roll that intimidate check already, don't keep us in suspense]] Fred rolls d20: [9] = 9 Fred: + 3 Fred: + whatever if the Ghost Sound adds anything DM: [[we'll throw in another +3 bonus for the Ghost Sound]] DM rolls d20: [19] = 19 Fred: ...

DM rolls d20 + 1: [(3) + 1] = 4 DM: The arrow thuds into the hut to the north. Taran: [[Do I even need to tell you it missed?]] DM: Gnoll 5 turns and attacks Derickt. Fred: [[Taran, do you have a cure lesser prepared, I hope?]] Taran: [[I thought you were going to be controlling Usa's character?]] Taran replies back to Fred "I'm no cleric."

But whatever floats your boat.' DM: [[for the sake of time, I'll say go for it]] Taran: Drolceinfurenuarem, beneficarum, toleirema!

Falash: [[:d]] Falash: {{*Very Happy]] DM: hmm, correct the above statement to, Your falchion slices the Gnoll into tiny, bite size chunks. Suntoer: [[this is strange]] Suntoer: [[i checked up, and the last 3 rolls i've gotten a 3 and 1 on dmg]] Taran: [[it's 3:30 I say we stop here, the only surviving gnoll is a half-dead female]] Viktor: (I agree) Suntoer: [[victory theme]] DM: [[definitely]] Falash: [[fine]] Dreickt: [[ok]] Taran: and what goes with a victory theme, but XP DM: [[the good thing about this program is that it'll remember the map for next time]] Viktor: (time to get some sleep...)

Well, I dunno if anyone's bothering to read these, but here's the log for week three of our game, complete with all the random nonsense from before the game really got started...

<@DMFernin> ok, back
<JoxAshwood> wb
<JoxAshwood> Got all our sheers?
<Taran_Almasy> snip snip
<JoxAshwood> ...
<@DMFernin> 4 gnolls were killed, 1/2 CR each, that's 600 exp for that encounter, I think we had... what, 6 people playing?
06* JoxAshwood sheers Fernin
<JoxAshwood> I mean sheets
<@DMFernin> Satsui, Fred, Sathien, Slayer, Vald, Lottel... anyone I'm forgetting who played last week?
<JoxAshwood> The then gnolls went crazy and formed a Union
06* JoxAshwood shrugs
<Taran_Almasy> In retrospect I think I should've told everyone to lay off the women unless they went crazy
<@DMFernin> oh, right, Not Sure
<Suzume_Shizuka> I didn't really do anything
<@DMFernin> but Satsui didn't take part in the combat...
<@DMFernin> so, 50 exp for ... dangit, where the hell is Lottel?
<JoxAshwood> Jox = Joxor... Ash = Evil Dead.. Wood=giggity
06* Taran_Almasy begins humming "Joxor the Mighty"
<JoxAshwood> Joxor from Xena, the bumbling wannabe knight
<Taran_Almasy> mercenary
<JoxAshwood> I cant rememebr or spell Bruce Campbell's character's name
<Taran_Almasy> Autolycus
<JoxAshwood> Thats what he told himself
<Taran_Almasy> Smile
<JoxAshwood> I took Ash Very Happy MUCH better Bruce character
<Taran_Almasy> Bubba Hotep
<@DMFernin> okay, so, EXP!
<Taran_Almasy> anyway, what's the final assessment on XP then?
<@DMFernin> 50 exp for Lottel, who isn't here, the bum
<@DMFernin> 150 exp for Not Sure
<@DMFernin> 100 exp for each other character
<Suntoer> Woo
<Suntoer> How much exp to get to level 2?
<Taran_Almasy> Not to nitpick, but why'd Not Sure get an extra 50
<Taran_Almasy> you need 1k Sun
<Suntoer> I did a ton of damage
<Suzume_Shizuka> Nobody loves me
<Taran_Almasy> ah right
<JoxAshwood> I'm on Level 1, wherever you guys end up
<Suntoer> ah.
<Taran_Almasy> forgetting who played who
<JoxAshwood> I played Jessica Alba... like a piano
<JoxAshwood> giggity
<Derickt> so 600 + spellcasting?
<Suzume_Shizuka> Least of all this illegal operation error
<Taran_Almasy> I immolated a gnoll skull!
<Suzume_Shizuka> I may drop a second
<Suzume_Shizuka> ...
<@DMFernin> ...say what now, Vald?
<Suzume_Shizuka> I'm alive
<Derickt> oh, I thought you said 600 exp. my bad
<Suntoer> and remember we got 50 for the first session
<Taran_Almasy> I hunger
<Taran_Almasy> Run Run Run!
<Taran_Almasy> ROOOOORAGH
<Suzume_Shizuka> It is 600 XP. Total
<@DMFernin> hehe, 600 exp for the challenge, divided amongst the group
<Suzume_Shizuka> But what's this "+ spellcasting" stuff?
<Suzume_Shizuka> I think Vald is showing his age with THAT one. Very Happy
<@DMFernin> Very Happy
<@DMFernin> Syd vs Me battle is over... 24-23 Very Happy
<Suntoer> congrats
<Suzume_Shizuka> Who won it?
<Suntoer> there goes the universe
<Taran_Almasy> glad to play tiebreaker Smile
<JoxAshwood> there goes Christmas...
<Taran_Almasy> hello Easter
02* Sevym (~sevym101@stjhnf0131w-142162026188.pppoe-dynamic.nl.aliant.net) Quit (Quit: )
<@DMFernin> I did, Satsui Smile
<Suntoer> there's still a half-dead snoll about
<Suntoer> gnoll
<Suzume_Shizuka> Alright!
<JoxAshwood> snoll
<JoxAshwood> rofl
<Taran_Almasy> female, yes
<Taran_Almasy> ?
<@DMFernin> nope, not female
<Taran_Almasy> oh, interrogation, yessss
<Suntoer> and i'm still pretty enraged
<@DMFernin> it was the male guarding the main hut's door
<JoxAshwood> write me in somewhere
<Suzume_Shizuka> So, what did we decide with me, Fernin?
<Taran_Almasy> actually it's Fernin's call on that
<@DMFernin> oh, right
<Taran_Almasy> if we're ruling the encounter over, you're fatigued now
<JoxAshwood> I'll be like the Fox Network, but you know, called SpikeTV instead
<Suzume_Shizuka> Wasn't it "I never got out" or something?
<@DMFernin> you'll come in where I say you do, Jox
<@DMFernin> put your OOC chat in [[]]'s
<@DMFernin> and kindly cut back on the drunken ramblings Wink
<JoxAshwood> ok
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[So we started. Okay]]
<JoxAshwood> um... not gonna happen, but 'll try
<@DMFernin> alright, so
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[who was Sevym?]]
10* Beauregard_Tau (~docinsano@24-117-141-22.cpe.cableone.net) has joined #baryus
<Derickt> [[my bro]]
<JoxAshwood> [[I'm watching Bruce Lee kick ass in Fists of Fury]]
<Suntoer> [[vald's bro i think]]
<@DMFernin> huzzah, doc made it
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Not a character?]]
06* Taran_Almasy calls Orseph to him "Alright guys, I think now we should interrogate the one survivor we've got left."
<JoxAshwood> [[hey doc]]
<@DMFernin> he and Ghandi will come into the story... soon enough
<JoxAshwood> [[Good]] Smile
<JoxAshwood> [[that means more alcohol for you and me doc Smile]]
<@DMFernin> [[Okay, I'm loading Game Table now, I'll have to run the map myself and just tell you guys about it]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[considering where Suzume was from the battle on the table, I'm assuming I haven't noticed the character yet]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I think I've been retconned to still be in a burlap sack]]
<@DMFernin> [[Suzume managed to cut herself free from the sack, but passed out again from standing up too quickly]]
<@DMFernin> Fred was standing over the dead, headless Gnoll
<JoxAshwood> [[Bruce Lee was an orignal action star]]
<@DMFernin> he says, Screw you guys, I'm going to the tavern, I'm out.
<JoxAshwood> [[i'd be like him if I wasn't a hafling]] :p
<@DMFernin> He treks off in the direction of Ceron.
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Awwwww, I don't wanna be a wimp. Sad I may as well go tie myself to some railroad track and say "hay-alp! Hay-alp!]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Whatever, it works for me. *passes out*]]
06* Derickt cleans his blades onthe ground
06* Taran_Almasy looks in Fred's direction "...Alright, guess you didn't need that healing afterall"
<Taran_Almasy> [[so, is Suntoer still in rage or is he fatigued?''
<Taran_Almasy> ]]
<Suntoer> [[ enraged i guess ]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[Fernin's call alone]]
<Suntoer> [[of... guess it's the time then]]
<Suntoer> [[oh*
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[You can drop a Barbarian rage at any time, if that's what it is]]
<@DMFernin> Taran is standing directly over a dead gnollwife, Derickt is standing to the south of Taran, a fatigued Suntoer is to the east of Derickt, another dead gnollwife to the east of Suntoer, a dead gnoll to the south of Suntoer, Viktor to the west of that dead gnoll
<Suntoer> [[doesn't really matter... they're all pretty much dead]]
<JoxAshwood> [[I only have my character sheet at the ready]]
<@DMFernin> Orseph is to the southwest of the dead gnoll, the entrance to the hut is directly south of the dead gnoll
<Taran_Almasy> [[I calld Orseph back to me so for now just assume he's occupying my space]]
<Derickt> I check the other huts for more gnolls
<Suntoer> [[fatigue wears off after the encounter is through, right?]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[nope]]
<@DMFernin> Derickt checks through 8 huts, finds no further gnolls
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[...Look up under Barbarian.]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[correction, nm]]
<Suntoer> [[hmm that seems what i read]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I don't think it's "fatigue", I think he's just winded]]
<Derickt> Ok, now I check out the armor and possessions of the big gnoll
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[but I don't have a PHB with me today]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[barb gets fatigued for the rest of an encounter when his rage ends]]
<Suntoer> [[yeah]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[since the encounter's over, it's moot]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[man i shouldn't have had that enchanted herb earlier]]
<@DMFernin> The big gnoll was wearing scale mail and wielding... what'd that one have, an axe I think?
06* Taran_Almasy heads into the tent with the remaining gnoll, scimitar drawn
<Taran_Almasy> [[yeah an axe]]
<Derickt> Andy damage to the scale mail?
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[can we turn our attention to the in character stuff? Like...perhaps...the unconsious woman in the middle of it?]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[there's a big fire blocking my line of view to ya Suzume]]
<Derickt> Did I happen to see a body-shaped burlap sack when I search the huts?
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Subtle, Vald. Wink]]
<@DMFernin> The scale mail is... relatively unharmed, as far as Gnoll armor goes
06* Taran_Almasy looks around to see where the gnoll might be
<JoxAshwood> [[doesn't know the previous given circumstances]]
<Derickt> I take the scale mail to pawn in Ceron
<Beauregard_Tau> [[man i'm so lost]]
<@DMFernin> [[doesn't matter, Jox, you're nowhere near here as it is]]
<Derickt> [[shouldve read the log from last session... buwhahaha]]
06* Beauregard_Tau kicks some dirt around
<JoxAshwood> [[I now, but I've got to be ready]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[what remained of it anyway]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Just bear with it for now, doc. ]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[don't worry i will Razz
<@DMFernin> Taran sees the gnoll crouching on the ground, attempting to bind its wounds
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[You'll catch on in a little bit]]
<@DMFernin> Derickt claims the scale male of the largest Gnoll as his own.
06* Taran_Almasy points his blade at the gnoll's throat "Stay right there" [[Now of course I'm speaking Gnoll this whole time of course]]
<@DMFernin> [[I'm trying to go in order, forgive me if I screw up]]
<Derickt> [[no worries fernin]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[We seem to be missing a fair number of people. Easter holiday, probably]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[Hippitus hoppitus e nomine padre et spiritus sancti]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[what the hell is easter]]
<@DMFernin> The Gnoll snarls at Taran, but doesn't make a move.
<JoxAshwood> [[when Bunnies rule the Earth for a day]]
06* Derickt goes back to examine that body-shaped sac, that he -must- have noticed
<Taran_Almasy> "You're the only one left in this camp so I have some questions for you."
06* Suzume_Shizuka is apparently out of the sack, but on the ground.
<Suntoer> [[feh... what's he gonna know. kill him!]]
<@DMFernin> Derickt finds a young woman laying on top of the remains of a lacerated sack.
<Taran_Almasy> [[unlike the rest of this party (to my knowledge) I'm actually good-aligned]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[trapped in a sack haha]]
<@DMFernin> The Gnoll growls and says something in Gnollish
06* Derickt shakes the woman, trying to wake her
06* Suntoer checks the gnoll corpses for gold.
<Beauregard_Tau> [[man don't kill her]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Please describe yourself, Derickt]]
06* Taran_Almasy moves into melee range "What was that you dog?"
<Derickt> [[6'0", human]]
<@DMFernin> Suntoer finds 14 gold coins between the 4 dead gnolls
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[...bald, no face, naked? I need a bit more, man. Smile]]
06* Suntoer pockets the gold.
<JoxAshwood> [[giggity]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[ heheh you have an ass chin]]
<Derickt> short hair, brown. brown eyes, wearing travelers clothes and a cloak. wielding two katar
<Derickt> [[oops]]
<@DMFernin> [[hehe]]
<@DMFernin> Derickt decides to suddenly, loudly announce his features to nobody in particular
06* Suzume_Shizuka comes to with a look of alarm on her face, but it soon settles in a pleasant look. She speaks with a pleasant, yet clearly exotic, accent.
<Beauregard_Tau> [[you lose 50 GP for that...]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> ...this day continues to throw suprises at me...who are you?
<JoxAshwood> [[thought he might be in the sack]]
<Derickt> "Y'okay?"
<Derickt> "Name's Derickt. What's yours?"
06* Taran_Almasy emerges cleaning his scimitar. A few seconds ago the cry of a gnoll keened and stopped short.
<Suzume_Shizuka> "I am not sure...may I stand?" Assuming you let her, she stands and brushes herself off. She then takes a step back and greets you with a bow. "I am Suzume of House Shizuka. And I appear to be fine, thank you"
06* Taran_Almasy sighs "He wouldn't talk."
<Derickt> "What are ya doin' in the middle of a gnoll camp?"
06* Taran_Almasy notices the woman and walks forward, his dyed green hair quite noticable
<Suzume_Shizuka> "I...truly have no idea. I fell asleep in one place and woke up in...well, there. I was hoping you could explain it"
<@DMFernin> [[That's 40 exp for Lottel for that gnoll, 40 for Taran, and 70 for Suntoer]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[ty]]
<Taran_Almasy> Gnoll bands have been striking around the area it seems.
<Derickt> [[Lottel is here?]]
<@DMFernin> [[no, but he still gets the exp, he was the first one to hit that gnoll last week]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka begins to gather up her posessions, most conspicously a quarterstaff that (for those who make such checks) appears to be made of wood not native to the area
<Beauregard_Tau> [[roofie colada i'm guessing]]
<Derickt> "We're headin' to Ceron to see if we can't help 'em out"
<Taran_Almasy> [[if it wouldn't be too much of a text crunch, maybe everyone could include their forum name in their nick as well?]]
<@DMFernin> [[No need for that, the list is still on page 3 of the D&D thread in general discussion]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[what fernin said^]]
<@DMFernin> [[It lists everyone's forum name and character name]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka looks confused. "Help...who out? These...um..."
<Suntoer> [[mine's not too hard to figure out]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[17 on Know nature check]]
<Derickt> "So where did ya fall asleep?"
<JoxAshwood> [[i haven't added mine yet, since I was an alternate-alternate]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Check with Fernin, that should be at least enough to tell that kind of tree don't grow round here. I don't know my wood, though, or what's good for staves]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Hell, call it cherry. That's a good oriental wood. Unless someone has something better]]
06* Taran_Almasy has a flash of insight and checks just to make sure there aren't any remnants of human bodies or anything else nasty in the bonfire
<Taran_Almasy> [[Cherry or bamboo works for me]]
<@DMFernin> [[Yeah, 17 is good enough to know that the staff is odd]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Bamboo? Ick.]]
06* Derickt asks Suzume where she fell asleep before waking here
<Taran_Almasy> [[12 on the Search check if necessary]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[I don't think she remembers there Derickt]]
<@DMFernin> [[Is Taran putting the fire out first, or just poking into the fire with something?]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "On a path. I really couldn't tell you where. For one, I don't know where I am now. Just that it's unpleasant. Mostly."
<Taran_Almasy> [[poking around to see if there're any humanoid remains]]
<Derickt> "Well, right now we're about an hour west of Ceron."
06* Taran_Almasy comments while focusing on the fire "One heck of a path judging from the make of that staff you have woman"
<@DMFernin> [[Let's not forget my literal DM ways, I almost had you poking around with your bare hands, since you didn't actually specify what you're poking around with...]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Let us just say I...took the long road"
<Taran_Almasy> [[literal DMness overides common sense?]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...which turned out to be a short cut"
<Derickt> "I think it'll be best if you come with us to Ceron. Figure out what you wanna do from there."
<@DMFernin> Taran discovers charred human bones among the flames.
<@DMFernin> ...or, at least, he assumes they're human, given the size and shape, definitely humanoid, at least
06* Derickt begins a semi-thorough search of the huts for valuables
06* Taran_Almasy looks like a figurative cloud has almost instantly manifested over his face
<Derickt> [[want to be in Ceron before dark]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka adresses Taran. "What are you doing over there?"
<Taran_Almasy> They burnt whatever captives they took
06* Taran_Almasy sighs deeply "Confirming suspicions it seems"
<Suzume_Shizuka> "That is...disturbing"
<Taran_Almasy> humanoid bodies, can't tell what race
<@DMFernin> Derickt finds a few sets of clothes stashed in the huts, ranging from child to adult sizes
<Beauregard_Tau> [[who is Tarash?]]
<@DMFernin> Most of the clothes are caked in dried blood
<Beauregard_Tau> [[i mean taran
<Beauregard_Tau> ]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[Taran is me, Sathien]]
<Derickt> "Leave it t'dogs to never have anything good"
<Beauregard_Tau> [[ah]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[Derickt is Vald and Jox is Ghandi I'm guessing?]]
<Derickt> "Hey Taran, why the sick face? You feelin' okay?"
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...I don't know for sure...I do not speak well with fire...but I can try and get some insight."
<JoxAshwood> [[is making addtional character notes]]
06* Taran_Almasy says "Can anyone conjure some water? I'd like to make a grave for these victims..." and is stopped short by Suzume's notion.
<Taran_Almasy> "Speak with fire?"
<Derickt> "Speak with fire?"
06* Suzume_Shizuka digs inside a pouch and pulls out a small strip of paper with writing on it. She closes her eyes, and focuses on the flames. She then speaks words, that none understand, but they sound forceful and intimidating."
<Suzume_Shizuka> (Fernin, Commune with Elements)
<Taran_Almasy> "Well, I suppose if a hierophant can speak with the animals and the plants, and even the earth itself, fire can't be THAT much harder."
<Derickt> "Riiiiight"
06* Derickt begins knocking down huts
06* Taran_Almasy turns to Derickt "You laugh?"
<@DMFernin> [[roll some strength checks, Derickt]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[just 1d20 + your Strength mod]]
<Derickt> "Animals, I can believe. Familiars and all. Plants and Fire? I'll believe it when I hear it myself"
<Derickt> !random 1 20
<Derickt> "Hmm, that hut seems pretty sturdy"
06* Derickt moves to another
<Suntoer> "Or you are just a weakling."
<Derickt> !random 1 20
06* Suzume_Shizuka scans the ground, finds a good-sized of non-fleshy burnable material, throws it into the fire, and speaks more words
<Suntoer> [[lol]]
06* Taran_Almasy laughs jovially "I think that might be a bit beyond your means my friend."
<Derickt> "Well, we could just burn them"
06* Taran_Almasy 's hawk cries in agreement
<@DMFernin> The fire curls up around the new material and seems to burn brighter for a moment.
<Taran_Almasy> Maybe later
<Taran_Almasy> "For all we know, doing it now could disrupt her communion"
06* Derickt watches Suzume, intrigued
<@DMFernin> The fire snaps, pops, and crackles far louder than it had a moment ago.
<Beauregard_Tau> [[that sounds like a lame generic rice crispies]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka opens her eyes
<Suzume_Shizuka> This is...a cooking fire.
<Suzume_Shizuka> This fire was well fed in both flesh and wood.
<Taran_Almasy> "Well, no one implied the fire was smart....Thank you all the same however, Suzume."
<Suzume_Shizuka> Fire kami are...frustrating at times.
<Taran_Almasy> com-ee?
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...I apoligize. Spirits."
06* Taran_Almasy waves it away "So, does anyone else wish to help me give the remains a proper burial?"
06* Taran_Almasy nods
<Derickt> "Throw the dogs on the pyre"
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Regardless, I consider it fortunate you happened along. I am not used to needing to take care in these surroundings.
06* Taran_Almasy beams "My good woman, I am an expert at survival in the wilderness so it must be quite fortuitous"
<Taran_Almasy> [[what happenned to everyone else?]]
<Derickt> "So we gonna torch these huts or what?"
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles
<Derickt> "Burn these dogs?"
<Suzume_Shizuka> Well, I shall leave you to your...task.
<Derickt> "I wanna get to Ceron before dark"
<Taran_Almasy> As do I, but there are certain things that need doing here
06* Suntoer stares impatiently
06* Suzume_Shizuka finds a quiet place to sit and think...being unable to handle the dead"
<Derickt> "Whata ya need for a proper burial here Taran?"
<Taran_Almasy> First we need to put out this flame to reach the bones whatever else is left.
<Suzume_Shizuka> She no longer felt the need to cleanse herself after merely being touched by another...these foreigners so love their touching...but she still felt dead flesh was unclean
<Derickt> "Hey viktor, you think you can conjure up some water? Ive seen clerics do it before"
<Taran_Almasy> [[Viktor's not here]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Shit, I forgot to go over Slayer's spell list. Meh, he's not here anyways]]
<Derickt> [[I know that, but his character should be]]
<@DMFernin> [[...Well, technically, he has just been standing there this whole time...]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "I am sorry. I have not mastered the skill of summoning water."
<Derickt> [[I know he mention conjuring water last session]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[heh fernin's controlling the absentees i guess]]
<@DMFernin> [[DM privilege, Viktor casts the spell for you]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[You wanna chat with the water, that I can do. But make it? Nope]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[is it enough to douse the flame?]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[...and Dragonforce starts playing in my head]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka turns to Sunoter
<@DMFernin> Viktor does some chanting or whatever it is those clerics do, maybe waggles a finger at the flames, and enough water to douse the flames appears in mid air
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Did you assist in my rescue as well?"
<@DMFernin> [[Hey doc, I sent you a number of PM's in here, lemme know what you think]]
<Derickt> "Heh, he doesn't talk much"
<Taran_Almasy> [[Drowns it out with Manowar]]
<Suntoer> "I merely killed gnolls."
<Suntoer> "I had no idea there would be someone here."
06* Suzume_Shizuka laughs
<Taran_Almasy> "Killed would be an understatement my half-orc friend"
<Derickt> "Alright, fire's out. Now what?"
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Quiet and humble? Those are virtues."
06* Taran_Almasy assesses the size of the remains [[How big much talking here?]]
<Derickt> "So is bein' able to decapitate a gnoll"
<@DMFernin> Dusk approaches as the sun dips low on the horizon.
06* Suzume_Shizuka wisely decides not to add "for a woman"
<@DMFernin> There are about 3 persons worth of bones among the ashes of the fire.
06* Taran_Almasy 's hawk decides to play with Suzume by flying circles around her
<Taran_Almasy> "He's harmless, I assure you."
06* Derickt wonders if bones would make a nice addition to his spell components
06* Taran_Almasy turns to Derickt "Now we bury a whole big enough for all this, about 3 persons deep, so that scavengers won't go for the bones."
<Derickt> "Dig? With what?"
06* Suzume_Shizuka ignores the creature, and finding Sunoter about as interesting to speak to as a brick wall (brick spirits being exceptionally boring), she returns to her meditations
<Taran_Almasy> anyone got a shovel?
06* Taran_Almasy already begins digging with his scimitar and scooping out with his hands.
<Derickt> "Well, Suzume there was tied up in a sac, what say we throw all the bones in a sac and take them to Ceron?"
<Derickt> [[assuming theres another sack somewhere]]
<Taran_Almasy> "Huff, And what...do you think...they'll say...when they ask....why we're carrying....a sack of bones?"
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Perhaps they could be identified by your priests. An interesting idea."
<@DMFernin> [[Yes, there were many more sacks among the huts]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Why not speak the truth to them?"
<Derickt> "We take one of the gnoll heads for proof"
<Derickt> "Any objection? It's gettin' dark"
<Taran_Almasy> gnoll head is fine, go check out that tent I just came from *smirk*
<Derickt> "Good"
06* Derickt goes to get three sacks
<Taran_Almasy> [[how much time does it take me to dig the hole, assuming no one else jumps in to help?]]
<Derickt> "Don't kill yourself diggin', let's just bring 'em to town"
<@DMFernin> [[assuming no one else jumps in to help, it'd take about an hour]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "I am truly sorry, I cannot assist"
06* Taran_Almasy sighs "Fine, I'd prefer to bury them here but you do point out that it's growing into Owltime."
<Taran_Almasy> [[going with Derickt's plan for the sake of moving along and concession]]
06* Suntoer shrugs and starts scooping dirt with his falchion
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Can we hit the Fast Forward button on the Magic Remote?]]
<Derickt> "No Suntoer, we're carrying them to town"
<Suntoer> Fine.
06* Derickt grabs the gnoll head taran cut off
06* Suntoer wipes the dirt off his blade.
06* Derickt Fills the sacks with bones, trying to keep each body separate if possible"
<@DMFernin> Okay, bodies have been sacked, gnoll head is in tow, off to Ceron we go... you arrive shortly after night falls.
06* Taran_Almasy picks up one of the bonesacks, unless it weighs more than 2 pounds he's carrying a medium load.
<Taran_Almasy> [[less than 2 heh]]
<@DMFernin> [[Since we're not in combat, you can carry as heavy a load as you like]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles
<Taran_Almasy> [[danka]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> I've been chased out of here before.
<Taran_Almasy> And whyforeverfor?
<Derickt> Are there any guards out on patrol?
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Secrets aren't secrets once they've been told." She smiles. "Don't worry, they won't reconize me. As anyone they want to chase away, anyways"
<@DMFernin> There are two guards who greet you as you enter the city.
<@DMFernin> ...rather, village
06* Derickt explains what happened, and asks where we should bring the remains
03* DMFernin is now known as Guard_Smith
<Derickt> "Is the church open at this hours?
<Derickt> [[*hour]]
<@Guard_Smith> The father is already to bed, but perhaps this would be a matter worth waking him up for.
06* Taran_Almasy smirks at the word "church"
06* Suzume_Shizuka politely bows, smiles, and says nothing
<Derickt> "Lead the way please"
<Derickt> [[temple? monastery? I dunno]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[Thunderdrome!]]
<@Guard_Smith> The guard leads you into the village, to a small, rather old, somewhat rundown temple.
<Derickt> [[Why is the guard verbally narrating?]]
<Derickt> [[Vengeance is mine!]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[Who's the temple dedicated to?]]
<@Guard_Smith> [[He happens to be a very odd guard, okay? Wink]]
<@Guard_Smith> [[He leads a dull life, which he livens up by narrating all of his actions]]
<Suntoer> [[all guards are strange... apparently]]
<@Guard_Smith> [[and lol... Fred just IM'd me to tell me, he's now driving through Frederick County, Maryland]]
<Derickt> [[Like the episode of Family Guy]]
<Taran_Almasy> [in 2nd person no less]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles upon seeing the rundown building. She was somewhere between amused and shocked at the idea of "deity worship" as it was, but at least this building seemed more...honest than others.
<@Guard_Smith> [[We'll go with St. Cuthbert as the deity it's dedicated to]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> !random 1 20
06* Derickt explains the happenings to the Father once (if) he meets him
03* Guard_Smith is now known as DMFernin
<Suzume_Shizuka> (12 on a Knowlegde Religion.)
06* Taran_Almasy stays outside the temple, handing his bag off to Suntoer or anyone else free of one "Personal issues, you understand."
<@DMFernin> The guard leads you into the church, up to a small room behind the altar, and tells you that the father is sleeping inside. He then heads back to his post.
06* Derickt knocks at the door
06* Suntoer takes it
<@DMFernin> listen check, Derickt
<Derickt> !random 1 20
<Derickt> 14
<@DMFernin> you can easily hear snoring coming from within the room
06* Derickt knocks louder
06* Suzume_Shizuka recognizes the symbol of St. Cuthbert, a deity who seemed to uphold honor and justice, but also, according to those fellows in the tavern, had the odd nickname of "Stickupdeas"
<@DMFernin> The snoring suddenly stops and a voice calls out,
03* DMFernin is now known as Father_Velo
<@Father_Velo> Huh? Whu? Whoozat?
<Derickt> "My name is Derickt father, I bear unpleasant tidings"
<@Father_Velo> Can't it wait til morning?
<Derickt> "On our way from Baryus to Ceron, my companions and I found the remains of three people killed by gnolls"
<Derickt> "I thought they might be residents of Ceron, so we brought them here for burial"
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Question. Is Ceron the nation, or the name of the town we're at?]]
<@Father_Velo> Ohhh, you must be one of them Adventurer types.
<@Father_Velo> [[Baryus is the nation, Ceron is the village]]
<Derickt> [[the village]]
<Derickt> "Yes, I am"
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Yep, we'd be them adventurer types. Walk on in at any old hour, bother you no matter what you're doing, maybe take anything you got in treasure chest that's just lyin' around. Got a quest?]]
<Derickt> "What would you have us do with the bodies?"
<@Father_Velo> [[After a brief moment of silence, the door slowly creaks open. A very aged, very wrinkled man steps out.]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles, bows in greeting, and says nothing, staying about a step and a half behind Derickt
<@Father_Velo> Sad, sad fate that befell those who were taken. Come, we'll head to the cemetary, best we can do for the poor souls now.
<Derickt> "Very well Father"
<@Father_Velo> Were the bodies in any fit shape to be identified?
<@Father_Velo> A number of people have gone missing recently, but only some were gnollnapped.
<Derickt> "Badly burned. Charred bones are all that remain"
<@Father_Velo> [[The father chuckles at his own joke.]]
06* Derickt thinks this levity is unusual
<Derickt> [[should I roll Int or Wis check?]]
<@Father_Velo> Ahh, shame, shame. We'll prepare a funeral service for the morning. With no way to identify them, the whole village will mourn them.
06* Suzume_Shizuka chuckles a little bit as well.
06* Derickt heads to the tavern for a drink, and then to the inn when he is finiched
<Derickt> [[after the cemetery]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...Forgive me for intruding...you cannot speak with their spirits to determine who they are?
<Taran_Almasy> [[at what point did everyone come back out of the temple?]]
<@Father_Velo> [[I'll hit the pause button at the tavern, as there'll be important goings ons in there]]
<Derickt> [[I was just sort of fast forwarding]]
<Derickt> [[ok]]
06* Derickt explains to Taran what we're doing
<@Father_Velo> Speak with the spirits? What sort of nonsense are you prattling on about, girl?
<JoxAshwood> [[I imagine 15 minute delay tops]]
06* Taran_Almasy nods "makes sense" and follows Derikt into the pub
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I'm going to make sure he didn't misunderstand me, because I'm sure that any priest is familiar with the concept of a living being having a spirit...]]
<Derickt> [[I guess we can let Suzume and Velo play their convo out]]
<JoxAshwood> [[do that]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Because if he's really denying the concept of a soul, there's gonna be some issues]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[With Cuthbert, at least]]
<Suntoer> [[heh... screensaver popped up]]
<@Father_Velo> Oh, of course, the spirit of the dead. You'll forgive me, I'm not used to conversing at this time of night.
<@Father_Velo> [[Keep in mind, he's old, he's tired, and he was woken out of a sound sleep Wink ]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> I shall leave you to your rest, then.
06* Suzume_Shizuka follows the others
<@Father_Velo> [[k, that's 3 of the 4 in the pub... Suntoer?]]
06* Suntoer heads to the pub
06* Suzume_Shizuka turns to whoever is nearest
<Taran_Almasy> [[I take it this is where we meet Jox and Beau?]]
06* Taran_Almasy waves to Suzume
<Suzume_Shizuka> ...Do you not have problems with your dead...unnaturally returning?
<@Father_Velo> You enter the local pub, The Full Wineskin.
<@Father_Velo> [[...hmm, wrong name]]
<Taran_Almasy> They're an abomination and destroying them is one of my tenets as a druid.
<JoxAshwood> [[Bloated?]]
03* Father_Velo is now known as DMFernin
<Derickt> "Whoa, what? Dead returning?"
06* Suzume_Shizuka lets the strange word pass for now.
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Then why do you bury them so they can rise again?"
<Taran_Almasy> They don't usually rise when we bury them
<Taran_Almasy> It takes an outside...force to make such a thing happen.
<Suzume_Shizuka> "They never rise when you burn them"
<Derickt> "Rise again?"
<Derickt> [[wait, would I have knowledge of necromancy?]]
06* Taran_Almasy looks over to Derickt "What, you've never heard of zombies or ghouls?"
<Taran_Almasy> [[Knowledge (arcana) ]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[pretty low DC if ya ask me]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I'm guessing knowledge -of- them is pretty common]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[knowing -about- them, maybe not]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[i'd mention chiang-shi, but that's something Taran wouldn't know]]
<Derickt> [[not if people dont want to talk about them]]
<Derickt> !random 1 20
<Taran_Almasy> regardless, that place is a church, and it's holy ground at the very least.
<Derickt> [[15 on knowledge... maybe I do know about necromnacy]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[But in the culture I'm pulling Suzume out of, they cremate their dead because they're REALLY paranoid about zombies.]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[gotcha, fine Darkonian thinking LOL]]
<Derickt> [[waits for DM]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka nods
<@DMFernin> There are a number of villagers sitting at various tables. A pair of barmaids saunter between the bar and the customers. Two adventurers are seated at the bar, leaning heavily on it, gripping their mugs tightly.
<Derickt> Are they wearing armor?
06* Taran_Almasy pats Suzume on the shoulder "You need not worry"
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[It's more an ancestor worship thing. Kind of hard to honor your ancestors when Great Grampa is shambling toward you wanting to eat your brains]]
<@DMFernin> [[ hey Jox, Beau, this is your cue... are you wearing armor? ]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[and suddenly my mind wanders into the forest battle with The End]]
<JoxAshwood> [[padded leather]]
06* JoxAshwood knocks back a drink and asks teh barkeep for another
06* Suzume_Shizuka shies away from the touch. "I worry for nothing. I only speak common sense. If it troubles you, forget I mentioned it."
<Taran_Almasy> [[what time is it, ish?]]
<@DMFernin> The bartender eyes Jox, looks at the amount of empty mugs surrounding him, shrugs, fills another mug, and hands it to him.
06* Derickt tries to sell the crude scale mail to the adventurers
<Taran_Almasy> [["hey man, wanna buy a watch?'']]
<JoxAshwood> "Dax... he was great. Big warrior...." he says to Beau
<Derickt> "You look like brave adventurers"
<JoxAshwood> "Who are you?"
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I'm selling these fine leather jackets...]]
<JoxAshwood> "Back of girlie... I'm not in the mood to buy trinkets."
<@DMFernin> [[It has been a number of hours since the sun set]]
<Derickt> "Derickts my name"
<JoxAshwood> "Yeah... and who are you...?"
06* JoxAshwood sips his drink
<Taran_Almasy> [[Time to go meditate then, he renews spells at 9 p.m.]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Hmmmmph
<Derickt> "I have a fine set of armor that I have no use for, and would be glad to sell it to someone as daring as yourself for quite a discount"
<JoxAshwood> "I need one stronger Barkeep... I didn't just get a divorce you know!"
<Beauregard_Tau> Hmmmm armor
06* JoxAshwood eyes armor
<JoxAshwood> "I think it'll fit my friend here better."
<Beauregard_Tau> What kind of armor are ya sellin there?
06* Derickt display the scale mail as regally as possible
06* Beauregard_Tau takes a closer look
<JoxAshwood> "...Terrance, HE was brave...."
<Beauregard_Tau> Hmmm looks a bit warn
<Beauregard_Tau> Dammmit they were all great warriors.....
<Derickt> "Battle hardened"
06* Taran_Almasy orders some shishkebabs and heads on his way out after receiving them, looking for a place to meditate and refresh his spellcasting.
06* Beauregard_Tau calls for another drink
<JoxAshwood> "...if I wasn't near that statue I'd have died right then and there for sure! He was unlucky enough to be point bank..."
<JoxAshwood> Adrink for Terrance!
<Beauregard_Tau> Dammit i dont even want to relive it...
<Beauregard_Tau> My whole life has sucked
<Beauregard_Tau> Lets drink to tomorrow!!!
<JoxAshwood> I now it man, how do you think I ended up here?
06* Suzume_Shizuka finds a server and quietly requests a meal of boiled carrots and corn...shakes off the expected request for meat...and politely requests that it not be the cheap stuff they feed to the peasants or swine
<JoxAshwood> To tomorrow!
<@DMFernin> Taran: You receive your food, and are charged 30 copper for it. There is an orchard you can go to, or you can go to the inn.
06* Beauregard_Tau toasts To tomorrow
<JoxAshwood> "Hey, ey, you guys, don't leave... have a seat."
<JoxAshwood> "I'm not in the mod to buy anything, but by the looks of your clothes, you didn't have a skuffle with a cow."
06* Derickt abandons his sales pitch
06* JoxAshwood checks pockets
<JoxAshwood> [[how much GP do I have?]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Well now, how much are ya chargin fer that armor
<Taran_Almasy> To Josh: Prior obligations I'm afraid *nods with a salute and heads off to the inn, leaving a gold piece and letting the serving wench keep the rest as a tip*
<Derickt> "No, we killed a bunch o' gnolls outside the village"
<Suzume_Shizuka> To Derickt: "Everyone has their place, friend...leave commerce to the merchants"
<JoxAshwood> "Ah.. wretched things..."
06* Beauregard_Tau looks around for a barmaid
<@DMFernin> [[You should've started with a 150 gp allowance to purchase your weapons, armor, and gear, Jox, whatever you have leftover is what you have now]]
<Derickt> "Yeah, heard they're havin' a problem with 'em out here"
<Beauregard_Tau> [[shit i forgot how much GP I have left]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Gnolls huh?
<JoxAshwood> "Listen.. no just listen...[[obviously well oiled with booze]] ...we just got back from a terible encounter with the high priest of the church here... that guy killed many of our friends... I need to drinksome before I can even see tomorrow..."
<JoxAshwood> [[I'll say 20GP, I'm not particular about that sutff]]
<JoxAshwood> "Barkeep! How much for a beer?"
<Derickt> "Father Velo?"
<Beauregard_Tau> damn bastards... using black magic.... brainwashing the town..... it was horrible
<JoxAshwood> To Beau: "Was that his name?"
06* Suzume_Shizuka recieves her meal, along with the cup of wine she surely would have remembered to ask for if someone had remembered to type it. She really didn't miss rice...while she understood it was a simple crop to grow, she really admired the variety of foods here in her adopted home. And of course...the wine!
<Beauregard_Tau> Lord Somehting or another...
<Taran_Almasy> [[you've got a PM from me Fernin]]
<@DMFernin> [[yoiks, I think I allowed you guys too much freedom with your backstory...]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka then pays X monies to the apporpriate person
<JoxAshwood> Ah right.. Lord... Veal, or something."
<Taran_Almasy> [[I'll say, reads like you planted them that info for railroading]]
<JoxAshwood> [[serendipity]]

<JoxAshwood> "...anyway... this priest, comes out and waves his hands around, nfore I knew it, Draguul was ashes..."
06* Derickt tries piecing things together
<@DMFernin> [[I'm erasing the last few minutes of history, no evil priests, thanks]]
06* Beauregard_Tau is a bit wobbly from ale
<Derickt> [[haha]]
<JoxAshwood> [[wasn't paying attenton anyway]]
<JoxAshwood> [[its a good story and I'm going with it]]
<Taran_Almasy> [["Blame it on the alcohol" my ass]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[whats going on now?]]
<JoxAshwood> [i'm telling htem how a priest killed some people]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[oh okay]]
<JoxAshwood> "So I decided to face him, but Dax stepped in before I could.."
<@DMFernin> [[I gave you too much freedom with the backstory, I never intended for that priest to be evil, and don't want that to turn into a sidestory]]
<JoxAshwood> "I stepped back and BAM! He was fire. All fire I tell ya!"
06* Beauregard_Tau lights up a cigarette
<JoxAshwood> "He ran around until it finally killed him."
<Derickt> "Well gents, I'm tired from my journey. Tomorrow we're gonna try and figure out what's what with these dogs that've been... gnollnapping and killing"
<Beauregard_Tau> [[smoke break lol]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka orders a second cup of the wine...and a third...
<JoxAshwood> "I've gopt a room next to you Beau... we'll figure this out tomorrow I guess."
<Taran_Almasy> [[if you're only getting it in cups, I'd ask for multiples as well]]
06* JoxAshwood orders Suzume a drink too
<Suzume_Shizuka> "No, I'm...fine with this. The air kami...really like it."
06* Suntoer decides he needs rest as well
<JoxAshwood> "How else am I gonna keep you here and listening to the rambling accounts of a halfling? The kind would never heard of it."
<@DMFernin> [[We'll attribute the evil priest story to too much booze, another story of what actually happened will have to be fabricated]]
<JoxAshwood> [[kind=king]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Yer a halfling, Ghandi?]]
<JoxAshwood> Th[[that would be the beauty of the sotry, a deep cover up]]
<Derickt> [[Things that could have been brought to my attention YESTERDAY]]
<JoxAshwood> [[yeah]]
<@DMFernin> [[Keep in mind who is the DM here, Jox]]
<JoxAshwood> [[i'm just a brooding drunk recalling things as I rememebr then]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...You see...people of the earth like you have their earth drinks...and people of the air have their air drinks...this is like...drinking air"
06* Derickt asks the barmaid for some food. "whatever's ready"
<JoxAshwood> "In fact, if it wasn't because I was so close to the door I'd have never gotten out of there alive!"
<JoxAshwood> "..wow Lady... you must have started long bfore I did... where did you say you were from?"
<@DMFernin> The barmaid gives Derickt a bowl of vegetable stew and says, Specialty of the village.
<JoxAshwood> "Hey uh... whats your name? Did you actually kill all the knolls there? Rumor is they in league with this Church."
<Suzume_Shizuka> "I...I suppose I came from the air.". She then has a fit of the giggles. "Get it? From the air? It's funny! Because...it is!"
<Derickt> "How much for the soup?"
06* JoxAshwood laughs
<Taran_Almasy> [[kill the knolls? Tree murderer!!!]]
<JoxAshwood> [[rofl]]
<Derickt> Also, describe said barmaid
<JoxAshwood> [[how muchdoes a beer cost again? I need to substract it from my GP total]]
06* JoxAshwood buys another beer
<JoxAshwood> "Listen, it's bad here. I don't know why you even came here."
06* Suzume_Shizuka orders a fourth, but informs the server that the air spirits told her no more. She may have said half of that in a foreign language...she can't remember right now"
<Taran_Almasy> [[Taran's down for the night guys, I'm just watching the fun now]]
<JoxAshwood> "If I had somehwere else to be I'd be there, but after that incident at the Church I fear I'm in the King's crosshairs."
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Yeah, I'm gonna need a bill too. I think she feels like paying tonight]]
06* JoxAshwood puts her hand back
<JoxAshwood> "I'll cover it." *hiccup8
<JoxAshwood> What did you have?
<@DMFernin> [[Jox, do a fortitude roll... time to check for drunkenness]]
<JoxAshwood> [[20?]]
<@DMFernin> The barmaid tells Derickt that the stew is 4 silver.
<@DMFernin> [[yep, 20]]
<Derickt> [[and what does she look like?]]
<JoxAshwood> !random 1 20
<JoxAshwood> [[Halfing eat and drink a lot... like 8 meals a day Wink]

<JoxAshwood> +1
<@DMFernin> [[Jox is smashed, but not yet drunk to the point of passing out]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "Well aren't you a fine little man..." She giggle-fits again. "See, because..." She lapses off into a foreign tounge, then goes back to Common "...with common money. I can do it"
<Derickt> [[I need a charisma score on this barmaid]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[you mean Wisdom, not to fall for it Razz ]]
<@DMFernin> [[The barmaid has a charisma of 18]]
<JoxAshwood> "What did you say Lady? I'm sure I can pay for it.." *checks mhis pouch for money*
06* Derickt gives her a gold piece
<@DMFernin> The bartender looks at Suzume quizzically, and asks Jox if she has had too much.
<Derickt> "I'd also like to order a wake up call. For whenever your shift is over"
<JoxAshwood> "No, I'm fine... I've just had a long day."
<JoxAshwood> "Say, where are you guys going tomorrow? I'm supposed to report on the result of our mission, but I'm thinking it's better I don't with what we uncovered."
<@DMFernin> The bartender scratches his head at your confusing statement, shrugs his shoulders, and says, Well, however your day was, it'll be 24 silver for all those beers you drank, and 2 gold for the lady's wine.
<Beauregard_Tau> [[returns from his cig break]]
06* JoxAshwood drinks more of his beer
06* JoxAshwood pays barkeep
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles "I guess air costs more." She's not really falling down drunk. She's more of that "party girl" drunk. Though not quite to that extreme...she enjoys having uninhibited fun, something 18 years of a repressive society will make it hard to do
06* Beauregard_Tau coughs a bit
<@DMFernin> The barmaid smiles at Derickt, pockets the gold coin, looks at him for a second, shakes her head, and walks away giggling.
<JoxAshwood> "...I an still se him burning..."
<Beauregard_Tau> man I really need to kick that habit
06* Suzume_Shizuka smiles. "I was almost burned."
<JoxAshwood> "Beau, I need some rest.... We need to figure out what we're going todo tomorrow."
<Derickt> Is the inn attached to the tavern, or a separate building?
<@DMFernin> Separate building.
<JoxAshwood> [[even better]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> "The mean fire spirit was gonna eat me, but..." she points to Derickt..." HE SAVED ME!"
06* Derickt smiles at the barmaid on the way out.
<Derickt> "Name's Derickt."
<JoxAshwood> [[Sigle beer seems to be Xsp. I'm buuying 1 more... -x?]]
06* Derickt heads to the inn
<@DMFernin> [[4 sp for a single beer]]
06* Derickt instruct the innkeeper to show any visitors to his room
<Suzume_Shizuka> "...and now he's off to save another girl, it looks like!"
<JoxAshwood> "Aww... that was nice of him... *looks at Suzume* "What did he do?"
06* JoxAshwood finishes off beer and orders another
<@DMFernin> [[Derickt... are you wearing your guild badge, or is it in your pocket?]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Smooth...
<Derickt> good question. lemme check the log from two weeks ago
<JoxAshwood> [[I wouldnt notice if he was. Tomorrow I will if he still has it on]]
06* Beauregard_Tau orders a pitcher of ale

<Suzume_Shizuka> "He woke me up...then I fell down...then he woke me up." She yawns. "Well, I need to follow them around..."
<Beauregard_Tau> Drink up fellas!
<JoxAshwood> "*sigh* Dax... burned alive..."
<@DMFernin> [[At this point, Jox is beyond smashed, beyond wasted. Slur those words some more Wink]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka looks at the inkeeper with puppy-dog eyes, and asks as sweetly as she can, in slightly broken Common, "Can I have a room with a bed please? Pretty pleeeeeeeeeeease?"
<Beauregard_Tau> I can't believe we made it out alive...
06* JoxAshwood broods at bar
<Beauregard_Tau> sometimes I wonder why...
<Derickt> [[shall I roll a debauchery check?]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Drunk girl RIGHT OVER HERE, man, and you FAILED. Sad ]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Not that she would, but still]]
<@DMFernin> The innkeeper recognizes Derickt's guild badge, and says another guild member just came in and paid for a room for his team.
<JoxAshwood> "All I have to remember him buy is his... what the hell is this thing Beau?"
06* JoxAshwood holds up buirnt object
06* Beauregard_Tau takes a closer look
<Derickt> "I'd like a private room please"
<@DMFernin> He asks if you're a member of Team Twelve.
03* DMFernin is now known as Innkeeper
<JoxAshwood> [[who?]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Shit.... it's his amulet
<Derickt> I am
<Derickt> [[er]]
06* Beauregard_Tau wipes off some of the ash
<Derickt> "I am"
<JoxAshwood> "His amulet? well, at least it's not totally damaged.."
06* JoxAshwood pockets it
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Is this before or after I get there, by the way?]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Hell its just fire damage.... His spirit lives on!
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Ghandi, Doc, I think you may be taking one too many liberties with this backstory thing. Very Happy ]]
<JoxAshwood> "I had to get it while that Priest's back was turned... there was nothing else left."
06* JoxAshwood frowns
<Beauregard_Tau> [[My bad.... shall we move the story forward?]]
<@Innkeeper> [[This is still before Suzume gets to the inn, Derickt left before you did]]
<JoxAshwood> [[yeah?]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Oh, I thought we had an Inn-Tavern thing going]]
<JoxAshwood> [[i'm still brooding at teh bar]]
06* JoxAshwood sips beer
<Beauregard_Tau> [[Where's my pitcher dammit]]
<@Innkeeper> It's 50 sp for the night, if you want a private room
<JoxAshwood> "We have to go back wirth something you know Beau."
<Beauregard_Tau> Hmmmm
06* Beauregard_Tau thinks about what Jox said...
<Beauregard_Tau> We need a dog
06* Derickt drops 5 gold on the counter
<JoxAshwood> "Where dowe get a dog?"
<@Innkeeper> [[Your pitcher is served. Cough up the 10 sp for it, and the 16 sp for all the other beers you've had already]]
<@Innkeeper> [[The innkeeper looks from the gold to you, then back at the gold again.]]
<Beauregard_Tau> [[how many sp in a GP again?
<Taran_Almasy> [[10]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> 10 sp per 1 gp
<Derickt> [[isnt it 10sp = 1 gold?]]
06* Beauregard_Tau lays down 5 GP
<Beauregard_Tau> keep the change
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Fernin may be miscounting, or this is one helluva inflated economy]]
<@Innkeeper> [[...Silly me, I thought it was 100 sil in a gold... curse those WoW days]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[sp are dimes, and cp are pennies, though the perceived value of them is much higher]]
<Derickt> "And remember, if anyone comes in looking for me, send them to my room"
<Beauregard_Tau> Hmmm, I'm sure they sell dogs somewhere in this town...
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[I assume we can knock a tens digit off these prices?
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Except my 4G of apparenly awesome wine? Very Happy]]
<Beauregard_Tau> We'll figure it out in the morning...
<@Innkeeper> [[meh, I don't usually deal with the prices of these things, ask Fred sometime...]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[Can I get there now?]]
<Derickt> [[yeah, 4sp for a bowl of stew is insane]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka looks at the inkeeper with puppy-dog eyes, and asks as sweetly as she can, in slightly broken Common, "Can I have a room with a bed please? Pretty pleeeeeeeeeeease?"
<Beauregard_Tau> [[I could go for a bowl of chili lol]]
<@Innkeeper> [[Suzume has arrived at the inn, and the innkeeper greets her.]]
<Suntoer> [[holy shit there is a crazy thunderstorm here]]
06* Beauregard_Tau slaps Jox around a bit
<Beauregard_Tau> Hey, we need to finish our beer dammit
<Taran_Almasy> [[you live in the Southeast eh?]]
<JoxAshwood> "Yeah... who knows what will happen tomorrow, but I can't think aboutit now."
<@Innkeeper> [[What has Suntoer been doing all this time, anyway? Drinking? Sitting at a table? Just standing there?]]
06* Beauregard_Tau finishes his ale and pours another
<JoxAshwood> [[bathroom, sorry :p]]
06* JoxAshwood takes a long chug of his beer
<Suntoer> [[hanging out]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Well those two folks seemed alright... Wonder where they're headed off to
<@Innkeeper> For you, young lady, a room will be 30 silver.
<Suzume_Shizuka> (30, or 3?)
<JoxAshwood> "Hey, you Gnoll people.. what brought you back to town? Yoiu could have left."
<@Innkeeper> [[dack, 3]]
<@Innkeeper> [[Only Suntoer is left in the tavern with you, Jox]]
<Derickt> [[so was mine supposed to be 5sp?]]
<JoxAshwood> [[maybe seeing double]]
<@Innkeeper> [[yeah, 5sp works]]
<Derickt> [[ok]]
<@Innkeeper> [[cut that 4 sp down to 4cp]]
<@Innkeeper> [[for the stew, that is]]
<Suntoer> I'll take any accommodations you have.
<Beauregard_Tau> [[was suntoer in the party with the gnolls too?]]
<Derickt> [[I still gave the barmaid a gold though]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka decides to turn on the charm a bit. "That's an awful lot of it...can't you find a way to go a litttttttttttle lower? For me? I won't forget it, I promise... (rolling Diplomacy)
<@Innkeeper> [[Apparently Suntower is quite drunk, he just asked the barkeeper for a room]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> !random 1 20
<Suzume_Shizuka> ...fuck
<JoxAshwood> [[take off my room cost as well, I seem to have already have one]]
<Suzume_Shizuka> ...7 total
06* Suntoer groans
06* Suntoer heads to the inn
06* Suzume_Shizuka was apparently a bit too drunk to try that one out
06* Beauregard_Tau takes a long chug of his beer
<Suntoer> Give me a room!
<JoxAshwood> [[rofl]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Well.... I'm still thinking about that armor that one guy was peddlin'...
<@Innkeeper> The innkeeper isn't swayed by your pleading, and doesn't change his price.
<JoxAshwood> [[overtrying female wiles, Hawk would have LOVED that one]]
<Derickt> [[innkeeper wets himself]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Scale mail he said?
<@Innkeeper> [[He turns to the person who just entered, and sees the guild badge.]]
<Taran_Almasy> [[don't forget to save the log]]
06* Suzume_Shizuka pouts and hands over the shinies
06* JoxAshwood finishes his beer off
<Beauregard_Tau> I've become accustomed to my hide.... it's a bit worn now though...
<@Innkeeper> ...I can only hope you're with Team Twelve, there's a room already prepared for you.
06* Beauregard_Tau takes another drink...
06* Beauregard_Tau slams his mug down
06* Suntoer heads to the room
<Suzume_Shizuka> Did you see a pretty guy come in here? Bald, no face, naked? (insert Derickt's actual description)
<JoxAshwood> "Well, Beau, Lady, and you... whoever you are... I must retire... but if you see the need for servies of myself and my drunk friend here, don't *hiccup* feel shyasking..."
<Beauregard_Tau> Man that Derickt sure is a smooth fella
06* JoxAshwood finishes his beer off
<Beauregard_Tau> Sure thing Jox, I need a minute to think things over
<Suzume_Shizuka> [["Lady" left a while ago]]
<JoxAshwood> "Where did she go...?"
<Derickt> [[shall I roll my charisma against the barmaid's wisdom?]]
<Beauregard_Tau> do what you need to do...
<JoxAshwood> "Beau... I willsee you tomorrow.. we have to figure something out."
<@Innkeeper> Yes, a man with that description came and rented a room for himself.
<JoxAshwood> "Uh...
<Beauregard_Tau> Hey there Jox, do ya need some help there?
06* JoxAshwood fishes in pouch for right payment
06* Beauregard_Tau notices Jox stumbling about
<JoxAshwood> "Yes... tjat'd be nice,... thanks.."
<Derickt> [[Usa... what are you doing...? haha]]

06* Beauregard_Tau lends Jox an arm

<Beauregard_Tau> here now let me finish my drink
06* JoxAshwood wraps his around Beau's
<Derickt> [[I gave the innkeeper specific instructions]]
<JoxAshwood> "I can't believe we lost them ALL..."
<Beauregard_Tau> Chugs down the rest of the pitcher
06* Beauregard_Tau belches
<Beauregard_Tau> there
<Beauregard_Tau> Okay now lets get you to bed
<@Innkeeper> [[hmm, drunkenness check, Beau]]
<JoxAshwood> "Where is my rom agian?"
06* JoxAshwood checks himself for key
<Beauregard_Tau> [[ok how do i roll now?]]

<JoxAshwood> "Dax... Draguul... Alexz..."
<JoxAshwood> Alexza

<Suzume_Shizuka> [[So?]]
<Beauregard_Tau> Innkeep! Two rooms please!
<Suzume_Shizuka> [[According to BZ, Syd left a $100 tip by mistake tonight]]
<JoxAshwood> "What are we going to do Beau? "
<JoxAshwood> [[rofl]]
<@DMFernin> The innkeeper looks at you, and wonders why you're asking for rooms when Team Thirteen already secured rooms.
03* Suzume_Shizuka is now known as UsaSatsui
<JoxAshwood> [[and that waitress will never forget him]]
<@DMFernin> He then questions where the rest of your team is.
<Derickt> [[And if he played his cards right, he woulda got laid]]
<Beauregard_Tau> "hell man, We'll figure out that in the morining"
<JoxAshwood> [[giggity]]
<@DMFernin> [[Right, but there's no way in hell I'm roleplaying a woman for you]]
<JoxAshwood> [[hear hear]]

<Derickt> [[good lord, i dont wanna role play it. i just wanna know if it happens]]

<Beauregard_Tau> OK team thirteen..

<@DMFernin> After attempting to open the wrong door three separate times, you find the room, Beau
<JoxAshwood> "I liked her..."
<Beauregard_Tau> Man! Can't you use your own feet?
<Beauregard_Tau> Yeah, yeah, we'll figure it out tomorrow
<Beauregard_Tau> Finally!
<@DMFernin> Luckily for you, two of those three times, the door was locked, and your key didn't fit.
<JoxAshwood> "That's why you're here aren't ya buddy? *stumbles* "WOAH! That was a close one..."
<Beauregard_Tau> Shit!
<Beauregard_Tau> damn key
<JoxAshwood> "I knew them for YEARS! YEARS since i left home..."
<Beauregard_Tau> Dammit! Hold on to your self!
<JoxAshwood> "Are you spinning or is it the room?"
<Beauregard_Tau> [[can i try a different key?]]
<@DMFernin> ok, the DM hits the pause button, everyone's in bed/meditating/otherwise occupied now
<UsaSatsui> ...
<JoxAshwood> "I don't know Beau, this isn't good. I've never been in so much trouble before..."
<@DMFernin> these two'll ramble on all night if we let them...
<UsaSatsui> [[Actually, someone is about to get tired of the racket and go cast a sleep spell on the hallway]]
<Beauregard_Tau> "What are you rambling about now Jox...Keep your voice down!"
<JoxAshwood> [[i'd say 'Dorm' but I kow that isnt it :p]]

03* UsaSatsui is now known as Suzume_Shizuka
<JoxAshwood> "SORRY... sorry... I just need some rest...."
06* Suzume_Shizuka opens her door, says, "The air kami say QUIET", and waves her hands..."
<@DMFernin> that makes 1 person meditating, 1 person otherwise occupied, 2 people sleeping in beds, and 2 people magically asleep in the hallway

Something to note, Audience_member_1 is hacker, he was allowed to sit in on the session, provided he didn't bother everyone. Turns out, the only one he bothered was me...

DM: so anyways, as I recall... it's currently the middle of the night, everyone's asleep
DM: ...and time quickly passes, all too soon, it's morning
Suntoer: hmmm one sec
not_sure has left the session
DM: ...or perhaps not
Suzume: [[away]]
not_sure has joined the session
Audience_member_1: Well...this is interesting
Viktor: kick him
DM: [[anyone know where Vald went, or if he'll be back?]]
Vald has joined the session
DM: [[ha]]
Taran: [[hehe]]
Beauregard Tau: speak of the devil
Viktor: [[speak of the hellspawn]]
Dreickt: [[i am not]]
DM: so, *ahem*, starting again...
Dreickt: [[sorry]]
DM: the night passes, the sun rises, same thing that happens every day
Suntoer wakes up.
DM: [[oh, Jox, Beauregard, fill in your HP on your pogs, left click for the menu]]
Viktor rolls of his bed
Viktor: owww
Taran: [[can someone unpublish those gnolls?]]
Beauregard Tau: [[Attribute?]]
DM: [[Yep, and ...unpublish?]]
Taran: [[their term for removing a pog]]
Dreickt stays asleep a little longer
Suzume: [[back
Taran heads off to the commons area for breakfast
Taran: [[brb Coke trip]]
JoxAshwood: nope... Attrbute just shows 6
Viktor stands up and shakes his head
Beauregard Tau: [[OK i think thats right...]]
JoxAshwood: oh, it fixed
DM: [[things to keep in mind... You never invited Jox or Beau to be a member of the team, and you still have to find a Guild representative]]
Suzume wakes up, meditates, does her prayers, prepares for the day...reads some of the stuff she wrote last night...giggles...then heads down to the common room to wait
DM: [[and Ghandi, keep your OOC chat in these [[ ]] brackets]]
Dreickt keeps sleeping
JoxAshwood thinks of Chicken Boo with doc's characters name]]
Beauregard Tau decides to sleep in...
Viktor heads out to the common area
JoxAshwood: [[I will, just learning the ropes of the program]]
Suzume politely nods and smiles to anyone she reconizes in greeting, but otherwise silently waits
Taran: Hail Suzume
Suzume rolls d20: [18] = 18
Suntoer also heads to the common room.
Suzume: oops
Taran notices Suntoer and Viktor and nods
Dreickt: [[great roll on the smile there suzume]]
JoxAshwood: [[what's the dice roll command?]]
Viktor: morning
Suntoer nods back
Taran: Suntoer, my friend, would you care for a tattoo to honor your recent accomplishment?
Taran: or anyone else for that matter?
Suntoer: Thanks, but no thanks.
Taran: Are you sure? It doesn't hurt
Suntoer: Maybe for a more tasking accomplishment in the future.
Taran nods
Dreickt: [[the inn disappeared]]
Taran: I suppose you're right. *goes back to eating whatever was served for breakfast)
DM: [[type // to get a full listing of the commands]]
Viktor: I'm stepping outside for some air... I feel I've been in here for to long
Fernin Recenters everyone's view!
DM: [[did that bring the inn back for you?]]
Dreickt: [[nope]]
Suzume: [[away. Suzume is gonna hover around Derickt when he shows up]]
DM: [[hmm... that's rather weird...]]
Audience_member_1 tells you: ...this looks kinda fun
Beauregard Tau: [[no problems here...]]
DM: [[try reconnecting, Vald]]
Taran: [[fine here]]
Dreickt: ok
Vald has left the session
Vald has joined the session
Dreickt: [[there we go
Taran: [[so, what sort of fare have they got to eat?]]
DM: Eggs, bread, meat, a rather full spread. This is the farming village, after all.
Dreickt rolls over
Viktor walks over to the bar
Dreickt: "You want some breakfast, or do ya wanna keep sleepin'"
Beauregard Tau slowly opens his eyes
Audience_member_1 tells you: What's the object of this game?
Taran has himself a nice meal, giving occasional tidbits to Orseph
JoxAshwood feels a hangover
You tell Audience_member_1: Essentially, to level up and have your character become godlike, same as in any other RPG
Suntoer eats a sizable breakfast.
Viktor: [[I want to gather extensive information from the Barkeeper, how do I go about using the Gather Information skill?]]
Beauregard Tau: [[is it a complimentary continental breakfast?]]
Audience_member_1 tells you: If I ever get the chance I'll try it
Taran: ]]1d20 + Charisma modifier + ranks]]
Taran: [[though that'd be more for groups, IMO]]
Viktor: [[so instead of just asking one person, I'd have to query a large group?]]
Taran: [[that's what GI is more akin to]]
You tell JoxAshwood: Oh, as for your retconned story, the priest stuff you talked about was because you felt like stirring up trouble and had too much to drink, your team was actually killed by a hydra
Viktor: [[alright thanks]]
Viktor munches on the bar nuts
JoxAshwood: ok
Audience_member_1 tells you: Is there some mlevel of programming involved here? or is it all pre-programmed
You tell Audience_member_1: entirely pre-programmed, I discovered this little gem last summer
Audience_member_1 tells you: Bet you were exited
Taran: [[General role playing with maybe some Diplomacy checks]]
Dreickt: [[i see fernin typing, but dont see any posts, is my connection messed up again?]]
Audience_member_1: no
Taran: [[he's the DM, there's a LOT of typing to do]]
Audience_member_1: h eis pming me
DM: [[heh, no, hacker's PM'ing me]]
Suntoer: [[god..]]
Dreickt: [[oh ok]]
Audience_member_1: *he is
Viktor: [[jumping jesus christ]]
Beauregard Tau: [[well, time to get up methinks]]
Beauregard Tau stretches and sits up on the bed and pulls his hair back
Viktor turns around on the stool and looks around the Tavern
JoxAshwood decides to wait until his hangover passes more
Taran heads out to greet the sun by the orchard. "Oh, Suzume, there's an orchard nearby, would you care for an apple from it?"
JoxAshwood vaguely recalls last night
Beauregard Tau wonders what the hell happened...
DM: The tavern is empty at this early hour, the barkeep seems barely awake.
Audience_member_1 tells you: how do you batte people
DM: [[Suzume is still away]]
Viktor: hmmm
You tell Audience_member_1: I'm unfamiliar with the word "batte"
Viktor exits the bar and wanders into the alley between the Tavern and Inn
Audience_member_1 tells you: Battle
Audience_member_1 tells you: Im sorry my typing sucks
Beauregard Tau: [[question: is breakfast in the tavern or the inn?]]
You tell Audience_member_1: By rolling lots and lots of dice
Viktor: [[inn]]
Beauregard Tau: [[where everyone else is I'm assuming]]
Suzume: [[back. did I miss anything?]]
Suntoer: [[not really]]
Dreickt: [[nope usa]] 
Taran: [[Taran asked if you wanted an apple]]
Viktor: [[Taran is trying to pick you up]]
Beauregard Tau heads off to eat some breakfast
DM: You paid for a room and breakfast in the inn, but if you want, you can ignore the already paid for breakfast and go to the tavern and buy breakfast there
Audience_member_1 tells you: Is there any other way to become "godly"
Suzume gratefully acepts the unusual, yet sweet fruit
Viktor returns to the inn and grabs a light breakfast
JoxAshwood rolls outof bed
You tell Audience_member_1: yep, combat with enemies is only one way, exp is also awarded for doing quests, helping people, performing jobs, and for good role playing
Beauregard Tau gives a quick nod to everyone and eats a hearty breakfast
JoxAshwood: What did I do yesterday?
Suzume continues to wait for Dreickt
Viktor sits down next to Suntoer
Dreickt asks the barmaid if she wants breakfast
JoxAshwood sees he's talking to an empty room
Taran: oh, before I head off someone should see about adding those 2 men into the team
Viktor: Seems like this town shuts down in the morning
Audience_member_1 tells you: Im guessing your viktor
DM: The Innkeeper goes around to the doors of the two suites and to the room Derickt is staying at.
Taran heads off as stated before, nodding to anyone he passes by.
You tell Audience_member_1: I'm the DM, you twit
JoxAshwood tries to fight off the headache and heads to get breakfast
You tell Audience_member_1: the DM doesn't actually play a character in the game, he plays all the enemies and the NPC's
Audience_member_1 tells you: cool
DM: He pounds on the doors, shouting,
Audience_member_1 tells you: Your gonna hate me for this but.
Innkeeper: Nearly time for all you adventurers to be out of my inn, get up already!
Audience_member_1 tells you: If you ever EVER need a person to build buildings
Audience_member_1 tells you: I will do it
Dreickt gets dressed
DM: [[Note that this, of course, excludes Farash, who is under DM protection]]
DM: [[Falash, even]]
Dreickt: "I'll bring ya something back, if ya don't wanna come out"
JoxAshwood eats breakfast
Dreickt heads to the food
DM: The barmaid follows Derickt out.
JoxAshwood: I feel like I got run over by a carriage. Twice. Both ways. 
Taran: [[only if she was on top]]
JoxAshwood: Pretty good rum though eh Beau?
Beauregard Tau: Heh, I hardly remember last night
Viktor: morning Dreickt
Dreickt: "Morning Viktor"
JoxAshwood: Yeah... me either..
Beauregard Tau: All I remember is that we got locked out of our room somehow...
JoxAshwood checks to make sure he's wearing pants
Dreickt eats
Suzume upon seeing Dreckit, Suzume wans over, smiles, and nods...and upon seeing the barmaid, she winks and smiles. She continues to stay near him, but says nothing unless questioned.
Audience_member_1 tells you: Im sorry i keep PMing you but this is new and exiting
Suzume looks at Jox and Tau
JoxAshwood: I don't even remember that Beau
Taran wanders around after a good 30 minutes by the orchard, taking 3 apples with him on the way back to regroup at the inn.
DM rolls Pants (d2): [2] = 2
Suzume: I think you two just became too tired to get into your room.
Suzume giggles
DM: [[yes, you are wearing pants]]
Audience_member_1 tells you: I had an idea. A arena for battling
JoxAshwood: I guess that means i didn't get any girls in this town last night...
Taran: Morning all, I see everyone's awake
JoxAshwood: Beau, it's all a blur...
JoxAshwood keeps eating
Beauregard Tau: Heh, you're telling me
Viktor leans back in his chair
JoxAshwood: [[does the foot help me sober up more?]]
Viktor: So any idea on what our next job is?
Beauregard Tau: Who were those folks we ran into last night?
JoxAshwood: [[food]]
Dreickt: "So.. Suzume was it? Where are ya headed from here?"
DM: [[Yes, the food is definitely helping, though the headache isn't going away]]
Suzume: Where am I going now? I think I'm going to follow you.
Beauregard Tau finishes his breakfast
Taran steps forward to Beau "We are members of an adventuring guild, Team 12 to be precise"
Viktor: But you must have a home
JoxAshwood tries to eavesdrop on Viktor
Taran taps the badge on his armor
Beauregard Tau: And your name is?
Suzume: [[away]]
Taran: Taran Almasy
JoxAshwood holds head
Dreickt: "Ooookay"
Viktor: heh
Beauregard Tau extends a hand "Nice to meet you Taran. The name's Beau"
Viktor: So suntoer, how are you doing this morning?
JoxAshwood follows Beau
Suntoer: A little sore, but I'll manage.
Taran shakes and orseph cries a bit "Oh, forgive my manners, this is Orseph my hawk companion."
Viktor: Doesn't sound like our half-orc... heh, alright as long as you say you'll be finr
Dreickt: "Hey, you say your name was Beau?"
Taran: I could whip you boys up a decent poultice for hangovers sometime if this is the outcome of your regular nightly activities\
Beauregard Tau hears his name "Yes, this is he"
Audience_member_1 tells you: IS there anything i can do vesides watch?
JoxAshwood: Not regular. Not for me anyway. Onlyh when I have to spend more than a day or two in some run down town
Dreickt gives the scale mail to Beau
Beauregard Tau: "That would be appreciated Taran"
You tell Audience_member_1: Of course not, what else did you think you'd get to do?
Dreickt: "You can have it, it's probably not worth my effort to pawn"
Audience_member_1 tells you: well
Taran: would you like to join our group?
Dreickt: "And it's just weighing me down"
Beauregard Tau accepts the scale mail
"Thanks Dreickt, what do I owe you fer it?"
JoxAshwood: Where are you guys headed? Give me some time to dober up and I'll be glad to leave this place with you.
JoxAshwood: [[sober]
Audience_member_1 tells you: I could build a D&D version of the greek throne room of the gods
Dreickt: "Use it t' guard my ass."
Suzume: [[back]]
Audience_member_1 tells you: I know what it was said to look likt
Taran: well currently we need to check in with a guild representative, it'd be a good time to get your badge and handbook while we're at it
Audience_member_1 tells you: and
Viktor: Ah, well... I'm heading back outside It's to noisy in here
You tell Audience_member_1: do you have a learning disability or something? you DO NOT GET to touch the map or draw anything
Viktor stands up and leaves the inn
You tell Audience_member_1: now hush up
Audience_member_1 tells you: it could only be known by the godly players
Suzume smiles at Dreickt
Beauregard Tau: So, Dreickt, are you with Taran here?
Taran: after that, likely beating the heck out of these gnoll encampments...after the memorial service later on anyway
Audience_member_1 tells you: I am a bit ADD
Suzume: You don't feel I'll be as helpful as your...other companion?
Dreickt: "Sure am"
JoxAshwood: I think we already did that... right Beau? *mind still hazy from drinking*
Dreickt smiles at Suzume
Beauregard Tau: Did we? I don't remember getting a badge and handbook...
DM: [[Both Jox and Beau were members of Team Thirteen, so they have handbooks and badges already.]]
JoxAshwood holds head and not really paying attention to the flow of the conversation
Dreickt: "In my experience, women are more of a liability."
Dreickt laughs Taran: [[oh okay]]
JoxAshwood: I'll be outside. I'm with Beau right now. I'll go where you go...
JoxAshwood: Ow... damn potent rum here!
Suntoer decides to get some air and wait for everyone else.
Taran notices the badge on Beau "Ah forgive me, seems you're already a member."
JoxAshwood staggers outside
Suzume: Mine as well. I supposed I'll have to accompany you as a man, then.
Viktor notices Suntoer
Suzume: Shall I begin by spitting on the floor and grunting? Or is that not your custom here?
Innkeeper: Forgive me, but I can't help but overhear that you're looking for the guild representative...
Viktor: What do you make of that Suzume woman Suntoer?
Taran turns to the Innkeep Beauregard
Tau looks over to the Innkeep
Taran: That'd be so
Dreickt: "Uh..., just try and keep from gettin' sacked again."
Suzume laughs
Innkeeper: There's a man from the guild currently staying at a house nearby, he frequents the tavern by night and minds a booth in the town square during the day.
Suzume: As you wish. I shall only sleep when you are awake.
Taran: do you know his name by chance?
Viktor: Silent as ever... heh, that's admirable
Suzume hopes her innuendo translates well. She also hopes it doesn't get her killed like it probably would back home
Innkeeper: Nope, never had a reason to talk to him. 
Taran shrugs "Fair enough"
Dreickt: "Then, I'll make sure to be awake often"
JoxAshwood hopes he drank his pain away
Beauregard Tau: [[away for a sec...]]
Taran looks around, trying to find any more business. "Anyone care for a tattoo?"
JoxAshwood remembers the dragon
Dreickt: "Which way to the town square, innkeep?"
Beauregard Tau: Tattoo?
Beauregard Tau: Sure, that is, if it's free
JoxAshwood: [[its a battleship on your forehead]]
Taran: Not free, but at a reduced fee for guild members
Taran smiles
Innkeeper: Town square is just north, maybe a 10 minute walk up the main road.
Beauregard Tau scratches his chin "Hmmmm, sure why not?"
Taran: what would you like?
Dreickt: "Alright, y'all know where t' find me."
Dreickt leaves
Viktor see derickt
Viktor: where are you going?
Taran: wherever the pearl maiden goes I'll know you're near
Taran snickers
Dreickt: "T' talk t' the guild representative"
Viktor: alright, I'll tag along
Viktor: Come on big guy
Viktor hits suntoer on the shoulder and followes Derickt
Suzume: I shall make sure he does not get lost
Beauregard Tau thinks about what kind of ink to get
Suntoer follows behind
Taran: i've got all the ink covered, but since everyone's heading off, let's discuss this on foot
Beauregard Tau: Sure thing
Taran heads off to catch up
JoxAshwood follows the crowd
Viktor: Lead the way Derickt
Beauregard Tau follows along
JoxAshwood: Wait!
DM: [[hehe, gotta love those teleportation pockets]]
Suzume: [[oops]]
Dreickt: [[i scrolled up, i saw no town square]]
DM: You travel north along the main road, passing by a number of houses and small shops.
Taran: So, what do you want, where do you want it, and how big do you want it?
Suzume: [[Fernin, no comic?]]
DM: [[Not everything'll be mapped, mostly combat areas and places I'll use multiple times]]
Beauregard Tau: I was thinking my left bicep.... not sure what though
Taran: hmmm what sort of message do you want it to convey?
DM: [[oh, bother... I must've uploaded the wrong file, I'll fix that later]]
Audience_member_1 tells you: That, or your just to lazy to build things
Suzume: [[Oh, I see. You have yesterdays comic up, but today's...yeah]]
Suzume: [[away]]
JoxAshwood: [[imagination time... woohoo]]
JoxAshwood throws up
JoxAshwood feels much better now
Dreickt looks for the guild emblem among the booths
Beauregard Tau: Let me think, well I've had it rough, so how about something along the lines of "a better tommorrow?"
Taran winces off to the side
Taran: hmm
Beauregard Tau kicks some dirt over Jox's vomit
Taran: howabout a waxing moon?
JoxAshwood: thanks buddy
Beauregard Tau: Ah, yes that would be perfect, Taran
Taran smiles and looks over the area...alright 2 gp
Beauregard Tau hands Taran 5 GP
Taran grins "...or that'll work too"
DM: You arrive at the guild booth. A fairly tall human wearing spectacles is seated amidst piles of papers and scrolls.
JoxAshwood: i needed that... whew... so
Beauregard Tau: Keep the change
Taran bows lightly 
JoxAshwood compulsively looks around the room
Beauregard Tau smiles
Dreickt shows his badge, and recounts the incident from yesterday
DM: [[...Room? You're walking in the town square...]]
Audience_member_1 tells you: Are you going to build whole towns or just keep the tavern and inn
Beauregard Tau: [[AFK for a minute... brb]]
JoxAshwood: [[oh... um... wine? :p]]
Taran pockets the coinage "Let's just get this taken care off and then I can cover the tat, shouldn't take more than maybe 30 mins"
JoxAshwood lokos for people that may be easy to pickpocket
You tell Audience_member_1: just the tavern and inn, those are the only parts they'll be using often
JoxAshwood still feels at least half drunk though
Teo Lenox: Oh... Guild members... More paperwork...
Viktor: You took the job, you should be used to it buddy
DM: Teo sighs, and digs into one of the stacks.
Suzume: [[back]]
Audience_member_1 tells you: Why not make a shop or jail?
You tell Audience_member_1: Why don't you hush up and let me do my damned job?
Suzume: [[In about 10 minutes, I have the comp for good tho]]
Taran: [[cool]]
Audience_member_1 tells you: Because I think YOU can do better than this
DM: Teo listens to your story, nodding at places, and filling in sections of his parchment.
JoxAshwood studies paperwork guy, looking for a time his attention is diverted a lot
Teo Lenox: Now, did you manage to find any valuables at the gnoll camp?
Taran keeps his attentions on Jox
Dreickt: "And, uh, I guess team 13 ran into some problems. They've join up with team 12"
Suzume stifles laughter
JoxAshwood: We have?
Audience_member_1 tells you: And besides you cant do much with three places
You tell Audience_member_1: The text is what's important here, not the map. The spacing only matters when we're in combat.
Beauregard Tau: Wow for my first tat, this is fairly painless
Viktor: I wouldn't call them Valuables but they've been tagging along
Dreickt: "Those dogs didn't have shit. Took some armor's all"
Taran: [[I haven't started on it yet Tau]]
DM: Teo chuckles.
Beauregard Tau: [[oh
Beauregard Tau: [[my bad]]
Taran: [[Taran said he'd do it once the guild business was settled]]
JoxAshwood: Beau, this guy is reassigning us! We're STILL on team 13!
Suzume smiles. Supposedly, she has no value.
Beauregard Tau: [[crap, well when you do start, it is fairly painless]]
DM: Teo nods.
Dreickt: [[in derickts mind, women dont]]
Beauregard Tau: [[brb]]
Taran: Suzume here should be formally added
Suzume looks puzzled
Teo Lenox: Well, if no valuables were found, then there won't be any guild fee.
Taran: Seeing as she said she;d be fine following our group around and all, yes?
JoxAshwood: [[DID we find anything?]]
Teo Lenox: I don't know how they expect this guild to make a profit, if everyone keeps coming back with no valuables...
Taran: [[just remains]]
Audience_member_1 tells you: That may be true but more places adds more imagination wich adds better text
You tell Audience_member_1: I have tons of places written out in text files, thank you very much
Suntoer doesn't care to mention the few gold pieces he found.
Audience_member_1 tells you: *which
JoxAshwood: I have nothing on me...
Taran: [[Fred pocketed some crossbow bolts]]
Teo Lenox: So, you two members of Team Thirteen, what's your story?
Dreickt: "Maybe we need to hunt somethin' that doesn't live in it's own excrement"
Viktor: Here's an Idea for you Lenox, give us a job where there is cash assured
JoxAshwood: Listen Mr., what do you expect us to do? You didn't exactly send us on as treasure hunt!
Suzume: [[away]]
JoxAshwood: Why are you putting us with these other guys?
Audience_member_1 tells you: how does that work
Taran sighs DM: [[Jox, don't metagame. No one said, in character, anything about you being added to team 12 yet]]
JoxAshwood: [[I think you did, hang on]]
You tell Audience_member_1: how does what work?
Audience_member_1 tells you: having the places written out in text files
You tell Audience_member_1: have you ever opened a book?
JoxAshwood doesnt fel like looking
JoxAshwood: [[I'll go with whatever]]
Audience_member_1 tells you: duh
You tell Audience_member_1: and you still question how I could write about a place in a text file?
Taran: Are there any specific jobs posted that need guild attention then?
Audience_member_1 tells you: Oh write ABOUT a place
Teo Lenox: There are, yes, but I'm still waiting on that report from Team Thirteen.
Teo Lenox: This stuff has to be properly documented, or I'll be out of the guild...
JoxAshwood: [[preferably wants to wait for doc]]
Suntoer waits impatiently
JoxAshwood: [[especially since his memory is still hazy from last night]]
Suzume: [[back]]
DM: [[Just do like they did, just write something along the lines of "explains the story to the guy"]]
JoxAshwood: Uh...
JoxAshwood: We were out there right?
JoxAshwood: I remember some very bad stuff... lost most of our members
JoxAshwood holds head
DM: [[actually, right, you have to get the story right now...]]
JoxAshwood: I think a dragon of some kind, it wasn't pretty
JoxAshwood thnks
Teo Lenox: Oh, dear. I was wondering where the rest of your group was...
Teo Lenox: Some files must have gotten switched around, you must have been assigned to a task for a more experienced group... JoxAshwood: Two of our team were gone fast. Alexa and the knight. Didn't stand a chance... 
Viktor: that makes me feel comfortable
Taran: You guys went up against an actual dragon??!! Suzume:
[[[you're shitting me. Buerocratic fuckups in medieval times?
Dreickt laughs at Viktor's comment
Taran looks on in amazement
Viktor: [[not surprising]]
JoxAshwood: I wasn't drinking for my health... well.. NO! Wait... it's going to take a while to come back...
Viktor: Watch it was Wyvern
JoxAshwood: It happened so fast
JoxAshwood: I barely got out of there alive
Taran: Where was this?
Suzume: [[Here 4 good. Yay]]
Teo Lenox: Well, you have only a few options at this point, I'm sad to say...
JoxAshwood: I've never seen anything like it...
JoxAshwood: we never even heard of things like that back home...
Teo Lenox: Being that there are only two of you left, the guild can't support you as a team any longer.
Teo Lenox: You'll have to either disband and go home, or join up with another team.
JoxAshwood: OK... fine... that's... OK..
JoxAshwood: [[wishes doc were here]]
Taran: So I guess you'll be joining with us afterall
JoxAshwood: These guys seem able enough... do you want us to give it another go?
JoxAshwood hold head...
Taran: [[Jox and Beau join the Shining Force!]]
JoxAshwood: What do you PUT in the rum around here?
JoxAshwood: I'm ok, I just need to walk it off
Viktor: fantastic... we not only don't get paid, we get two drunks
JoxAshwood: HEY! I was drunk last night!
Teo Lenox: Oh, I never said you wouldn't get paid.
JoxAshwood: NOw... I'm hungover
Dreickt: "Two drunks who survived a deadly fight"
Viktor: By luck
Viktor double takes
Viktor: wait...
Teo Lenox: The guild fee is what you would pay us, you still get your quest reward. I just need to find the right scroll with the correct amount...
Dreickt: "So they're either good, or lucky, and whom are we t' turn away either?"
Suntoer raises an eyebrow
JoxAshwood: I'll just say... if you come back, you may pick up a drinking habit too...
Viktor: Well you should at least compensate them for the death of that team, and since we absolved them...
DM: Teo fumbles with his scrolls, opening one scroll, then another.
Suzume: Better beasts be tame by our side than released into the wild...
JoxAshwood: [[afk for ~3]]
Teo Lenox: Here we are, 5,000 gold coins!
Viktor: divided amongst us
Teo Lenox: ...Wait, that can't be right... not for this level...
Dreickt double takes
Viktor: Look
Taran: [[anyone want to try Bluff?]]
Suntoer quietly groans
Viktor: [yeah]]
Teo Lenox: Oh, bother, wrong scroll.
Teo Lenox: That's the reward for that hydra quest Team Thirteen was originally on.
Viktor: [[I'm gonna bluff you into giving it to us fernin]]
Viktor rolls Bluff (d20 + 2 + 3): [16 + 2 + 3] = 21
Taran: [[not bad, but I doubt it was good enough heh]]
Viktor: [[never know]]
DM rolls d20 + 8: [2 + 8] = 10
Suzume: [[Heh. Anor accidently set the chat room to private]]
DM: [[...]]
Suzume: [[So, what? You just say, "I bluff you, gimmee the money?"]]
Taran: [[since it's closing in on 2 a.m., maybe we should be closing up soon?]]
DM: [[write up a convincing bluff, and we'll see how things go]]
Viktor: Well seeing as how you did send their team to a horrible grisely death I suppose that maybe you should at least compensate them for it
Taran: [[not the line I would've gone with]]
Suzume tells you: I suggest he hands over half
Teo Lenox: Well, I, uh, err... The guild didn't exactly prepare me for this situation...
Viktor: And after they became part of our team, why shouldn't we get both of the rewards, one for our gnoll, and one for their misfortune
You tell Suzume: Mind reader, that's exaclty what I was gonna do
Viktor: Beauracracy at it's finest I must say
Suzume tells you: great minds and all
JoxAshwood: [[bck]]
Viktor: If I had known that this guild was like this, I wouldn't have joined
Viktor: Sacraficing thier own members because of a "paper work" slipup
Dreickt begins training with his katar again
Teo Lenox: I can't really give you the whole reward, as it sounds as though the hydra is still very much alive... but this is certainly a terrible situation for these poor fellows...
Taran sounds out the word, not familiar with the term "beaureaucracy"
Teo Lenox: Ohh... here.
JoxAshwood returns from throwing up in a ghetto street alley
Viktor: Then perhaps at least give them half, they've suffered enough
JoxAshwood: Did I miss anything?
DM: Teo_Lenox unlocks a small metal box and starts counting coins.
Taran: Your hardship package
DM: He places 2,500 gold coins in a bag and drops the bag on the booth.
Viktor: good enough for them
Viktor: what about us?
Teo Lenox: Oh, of course, your quest reward.
JoxAshwood grabs bag to split with Beau
DM: Teo goes into the coin box again, and counts out 400 gold coins into it.
Viktor: One second Ashwood
DM: He hands the bag to Viktor.
Viktor: thank you sir
JoxAshwood: [[is doc back yet?]]
Viktor takes the bag and hands it Dreickt
DM: [[not yet, no]]
JoxAshwood: [[:/]]
Viktor: I'd trust you more with this then myself anyways
Dreickt: "Y'all don't wanna split it now?"
Taran: It would be the fair thing to do
Viktor: Ashwood, give Dreickt the bag of gold, you're part of the team now
Suzume: ...excuse me, may I speak?
Viktor turns to Suzume
Taran turns to Suzume "of course"
JoxAshwood: [[hehe]]
Viktor: Knock yourself out lady
Dreickt counts out 50 gold
Suzume: In my home, we have something...when you are wronged, you must return the wrong against the...wrongdoer.
Suzume: I believe it would be...prudent...to return some wrong against these gnolls.
DM: [[am I the only one who remembers that "Dreickt" is a typo, that it's actually Derickt?]]
Dreickt pockets the 50, and goes to toss the bag to Suntoer
Taran: [[nope]]
Viktor: [[wasn't sure when it was ingame]]
Dreickt: [[i didnt notice]]
JoxAshwood: [[me either]]
Dreickt: "Here man, take your share"
Taran: I agree
Suzume, I felt that way the moment we found those bodies in the flames
Suntoer catches the bag and takes out 50 coins, and hands it to viktor
Viktor takes the bag, takes out ten coins and gives it to Taran
Dreickt: "If you're sayin' we should go kill a Hydra, you're cracked"
Viktor: Heh
Taran: Not hardly
Viktor: Why not
Taran: at least not now
JoxAshwood: I think, by who's NOT standing here, it should be obvious
Viktor: Hmm
Taran takes 35 gold from the bag and passes it off to the next person
Viktor: But perhaps we should investigate nonetheless
Dreickt: "So Teo, where d' you want us t' go?
JoxAshwood counts out 50 gold, ponders counting out more
DM: [[...There is no next person, that's all the folks who were involved in the gnoll quest]]
Taran: [[oh, heh]]
DM: [[Cept for Sleeping Falash and Tavern Fred]]
Viktor: The rest goes to Fred and Falash
JoxAshwood: Listen, if you guys want to take out a dragon, I'm all for it, but I'm not going otb e leading this if that's your idea
Suntoer regrets not taking more
Suzume: [[Hey, you got a fuckload already, Jox...I doubt they're passing to you]]
JoxAshwood: [[6gp currently :p]]
JoxAshwood: [[well, 56.. corrects sheet]]
DM: [[You were given a bag of 2500 gp, that may have happened while you were gone]]
Suzume: ...I was suggesting we do some wrong to the gnolls. Not this...dragon
JoxAshwood: [[uh 66...damn math]]
Dreickt: "Now, killin' some dogs is an idea I can get behind"
Viktor: First, I think we should find out the connection between Gnolls and the Dragon
JoxAshwood: [[oh... sorry, I was emptying the beer Smile]]
Taran: Assuming there is one
JoxAshwood: [[either way, I'm splitting it with Beau]]
JoxAshwood: [[wherever he is]]
Viktor: That's why we need to find these gnolls
JoxAshwood tosses bag to next person without pulling anything
Taran: I can do the finding no problem
Viktor: Your birdy is going to do some more searching?
Suntoer takes 30 more coins, since there is still plenty left over

[[So, preparations for next week.

Assuming we are going after some gnolls, Suzume suggests setting a trap for them. Either we can ambush them, or leave some "bait" for them and follow them back to their main camp.

Since they apparently wait before killing their prisoners, she volunteers to be the "bait" in this situation, and promises to be more prepared this time.]]

Taran: "I feel it would be best if we took care of the gnoll problem that has been plaguing this area for some time. Suzume's plan is one route, though I am hesitant to place a woman up as bait. We could also take the fight to them. However, while I am a druid, I am nowhere near as skilled a tracker as a ranger would be.

Any other motions or ideas?"

I motion that we reserve this thread for logs and use the D&D info thread for discussing.

I'm sorry, circumstances conspired against me to keep me out of game tonight.

In fact, I'm just gonna drop. It's gonna be a pain in the ass to get on for at least a month, and probably longer. Sorry.

DM: Satsui may or may not show up, and my clock reads midnight, so off we go
JoxAshwood: I was talking on the phone for too long and forgot to go out and get more beer
Suntoer: feh... i want full hp
Dreickt asks the guild rep about quests
Taran: [[um, if Usa's character is supposed to be bait, should he be present for that?]]
Dreickt: [[We are gonna get lots done tonight if it kills me]]
Teo: Lenox The local apothecary sells lovely healing potions, they did wonders for my hips.
DM: [[hmm, whoops... forgot the underscore]]
JoxAshwood: [[how many players do we have?]]
Suntoer: How much are they?
Dreickt: [[6 looks like]]
Teo Lenox: 7 gold a bottle.
Dreickt makes a mental to buy some healing potions
Suntoer: [[how do they work? immediate? how much do they heal?
Dreickt: [[*note]]
Viktor walks around
Teo Lenox: As for quests, you're still not done with the Gnoll problem... You've only reported seeing one camp so far.
Taran nods at Teo's comment
Viktor: So I'm assuming we have to find another one...
Dreickt: "Are you aware of any other camp locations?"
JoxAshwood: [[have we started?]]
DM: [[drink the potion, instant healing of 1d8+4]]
Taran: [[yesh]]
Dreickt: [[yes]]
Suntoer: I'll buy 3
DM: [[1/2 pound weight for the bottle, one use per bottle]]
Taran: [[then maybe you should go to the store that sells them I doubt Teo's a dealer]]
Teo Lenox: I'm sorry, I don't sell the potions myself.
Suntoer heads to the store and buys them
Teo Lenox: I only know that the tracks head somewhere northeast of town.
Viktor: well when you are done shopping let me know, I'm gonna check out the tracks
Taran: That sounds like enough of a lead
JoxAshwood: I'll buy 3 bottles too
Viktor heads off towards the North East
Taran looks to
Viktor "You a scout?" and follows him
Dreickt: "Sounds good t' me. But I wanna buy some potions as well"
Suntoer: [[assumes he managed to buy them
Dreickt goes to the apothecary and buys 3 healing potions
Suntoer drinks a potion
JoxAshwood goes to the apothecary as well to buy 3 healing potions
Suntoer rolls d8 + 4: [5 + 4] = 9
Viktor: I'm not really a scout, but I've got an idea of looking at the ground and I'm ready to get to work
Viktor: I am a half-elf you know
Taran smiles "And I am a druid"
Dreickt runs to catch up with Viktor and Taran
Beauregard Tau spits on the ground and watches it roll in the dust
Taran: [[what'm I rolling for tracking without the feat? Survival?]]
DM: [[For now, I'd say a Spot check]]
Taran rolls Spot (d20 + 6): [4 + 6] = 10
Taran rolls Orseph's Spot (d20 + 16): [2 + 16] = 18
Viktor: [[I gotta roll for it? okay]]
Viktor: [[wisdom right?]]
DM: Taran notices lots of footprints, made by many different species of man and beast in the dirt
Suntoer tosses the empty vial aside and does a backflip.
JoxAshwood: show off
Taran: [[Tumble check heh]]
Dreickt: [[suntoer lands on his head, breaks his neck, and dies. new character]]
Viktor: [[I roll a d20+my wisdom modifier+ my skills?]]
Taran: [[yeah, skill ranks, plus any racial bonus since you're a half-elf, if I remmember things right]]
Taran: [[and Wis of course]]
Viktor: [[kk]]
You tell Taran: Orseph is able to identify the Gnoll tracks and looks in a north-north-east direction
Viktor: [[one sec]]
Viktor: [[going through the PHB]]
DM: [[I agree with Taran, roll that tumble check, Suntoer]]
Taran: Looks like Orseph's eyes see truer than mine, the tracks definately lead N-NE
JoxAshwood: [[isnt tumble Dex?]]
Suntoer rolls d20: [8] = 8
Suntoer: +2
Taran: [[Yes it's Dex]]
DM: [[heh, no ranks in Tumble, eh?]]
Viktor rolls Spot (d20 + 3 + 4 + 1): [20 + 3 + 4 + 1] = 28
Taran: [JESUS!!!]]
Dreickt: [[wow]]
DM: Suntoer attempts a backflip, but only manages to fall awkwardly backwards onto his back.
Viktor: [[perfect 20 on my spot check Razz]]
DM: [[oh my]]
Suntoer: [[feh... i'd say it's more of a jumping thing]]
Viktor: [[should I roll again?]]
Taran: [[Seems I was right about Survival being the relevant skill for tracking]]
JoxAshwood laughs at him jumping onto his back
Taran: [[gtting back to the game and away from rules debating...]]
DM: [[no, you only roll twice for critical hits with weapon attacks]]
Taran calls out to the others "Hey guys, the tracks lead N-NE of here"
Suntoer pretends nothing happened.
DM: Viktor is not only able to see the Gnoll tracks and the direction they're heading in, they may as well be glowing bright pink for him.
Dreickt: "Well, let's go then"
Viktor: heh... they are in that direction
JoxAshwood follows
Viktor: [[can I see thier numbers or just general location?]]
Beauregard Tau: [[so are we just shouting out gear we want to buy?]]
Suntoer also follows
DM: [[Ideally, you should get shopping done before the session starts... the healing potions were the exception, since I hadn't mentioned them yet]]
Viktor: I guess the half-elf beats the druid eh Taran?
DM: Suzume finds herself teleported back to her room in the inn.
Beauregard Tau: [[ah, I see]]
Dreickt: [[damn, lost my sidekick]]
Viktor: Whenever you guys are ready we can head out to the gnoll camp
Dreickt: "lead the way"
JoxAshwood: I'm ready
Taran looks around "Marching order?"
Beauregard Tau: Ready
Viktor: I'm assuming we leave your lady friend at the inn along with Falash and Fred at the tavern?
Dreickt: "Someone with good ears in the back, somone who can track in the front"
Suntoer nods
Viktor: I'll lead then
DM: [[...just noticed the typo again, Derickt is now officially renamed Dreickt]]
Dreickt: "Though there shouldnt be many surprises until we leave the flatlands"
Viktor: [[lol]]
Taran: [[why does it keep saying I'm typing when I'm not?]]
Taran: [[nm]]
Dreickt: [[whoa, I never even noticed that last time]]
Viktor: Let's keep it that way, come on then, if you are ready then let's see what we can do with those gnoll's
Dreickt: [[thanks for telling me, jerk. lol]]
Viktor leads the party out northeast towards the gnoll encampment
Dreickt: [[brb]]
Vald has left the session
Vald has joined the session
Derickt: [[am i back]]?
Taran: [[didja lose your macros?]]
Derickt: [[no, changed my name]]
DM: [[there we go]]
Suntoer: [[finally[[
DM: marching along... heading northeast....
Taran: [[*plays random encounter music*]]
DM: The sun approaches its highest point as you come into sight of a single tent next to a small fire, burnt low
Viktor: wait up
Viktor: I'm starting to be a little worried
Taran: About what?
Taran rolls Survival (d20 + 7): [20 + 7] = 27
Viktor: the inhabitants... where are they?
Taran: [[Trying to recognize if the tracks match up]]
Derickt: "Should we call to see if anyone's there?"
Beauregard Tau: [[how does rolling work now?]]
Derickt: [[blink blink]]
JoxAshwood: should we get a closer look?
Viktor: If I stop and look, I'll lose track of the gnolls
Derickt: "I'll go check it out"
You tell Taran: There are fewer Gnoll tracks here, but there are still some leading around the small campsite
Viktor: I'll keep moving then... but who's the fastest here?
Taran: This is a gnoll camp guys
Taran: and technically orseph would be the fastest
Derickt: "A single tent?"
Viktor: How can you be sure?
You privately roll d8 + 2: [8 + 2] = 10
You privately roll d8 + 2: [8 + 2] = 10
Taran: [[are you referring to speed or the gnoll presence?]]
Viktor: [[I was going to keep pursuing them and have the fastest return a message to the others in case I had caught up to the gnolls]]
Taran: [[my check's good for a mile, I say I come with and send Orseph as the messenger]]
Viktor: [[hmm okay then]]
Taran: I suggest going with you, I could send Orseph here back as a messenger
Derickt: "Anybody mind if I go check out that tent?"
Taran: all spoils get split evenly if you do
Derickt: "Sure"
Derickt goes to the tent
Viktor: Be careful... me and Taran will keep moving towards the Gnoll encampment
Viktor: Suntoer, go keep an eye on him
Derickt: "Anybody home?"
Suntoer: Aye.
JoxAshwood: I'll follow you and Taran towards the Gnolll camp
DM: [[ok, so as not to have two simultaneous group actions, I'll be working in groups, with the other group on pause]]
Derickt: [[ok]]
JoxAshwood: [[ok]]
Viktor: [[work with the active group, Derickt and sunteor Razz]]
Derickt waits for a response
Taran: [[okay guys, when we either get to 3rd level or get a chance to retrain feats, I'm taking Track, without it we can only locate tracks of DC 10 or less]]
Derickt: "Got your sword ready Suntoer?"
DM: [[hmm... how loudly did you say "Anybody home"?]]
Suntoer draws his falchion
JoxAshwood follow Viktor to the Gnoll camp
Derickt: Talking across a crowded room loud
You privately roll d20 + 2 + 4: [1 + 2 + 4] = 7
DM: There is no response from the tent.
Derickt holds a katar in his right hand and lifts the tent flap with the other
Viktor: I wonder how thouse two are doing
Suntoer follows closely behind
DM: Inside the tent, you see a pair of rather short Gnolls.
DM: Both are on their sides, sleeping and snoring rather noisily.
Taran: [[you can do a coup de grace as a full-round action, it's an instant kill]]
Derickt: [[its just some kids camping]]
Beauregard Tau catches up to the rest of the group...
Derickt: Anything else inside the tent?
DM: Some scraps of old meals, mostly vegetable parts, and some cooking items
Derickt whispers "Hey Suntoer, you wanna light this thing up?
Suntoer: Seems pointless
Derickt: "Where's your sense of fun?"
DM: The Gnoll to your right snorts in his sleep and opens his eyes.
You privately roll d20 + 3: [8 + 3] = 11
Derickt watches closely
Derickt: If it moves, I lunge
DM: Alerted to the two people standing at the tent flap, he turns to shake his companion awake.
Derickt lunges
DM: [[...care to roll for that?]]
Derickt: [[attack?]]
DM nods.
Suntoer: [[and i thought i was the barbarian]]
Derickt rolls Attack 1-Handed (d20 + 1): [12 + 1] = 13
DM: [[or, if you want to get silly, you could try to grapple it...]]
Derickt: [[plus whatever bonus for it lying down
DM: you've hit
Derickt rolls Katar Damage (d3 + 1): [1 + 1] = 2
DM: Derickt slices into the Gnoll's right shoulder with his Katar. The Gnoll barks in pain.
DM: [[Suntoer has an action, then it's initiative rolling]]
Suntoer moves in and attacks the same gnoll
Suntoer rolls _Attack (d20 + 1 + 4): [17 + 1 + 4] = 22
Suntoer rolls _Damage (2d4 + 6): [(2 + 4) + 6] = 12
DM: Suntoer chops the Gnoll into a neat pair of Gnoll twins.
Derickt rolls Initiative (d20): [14] = 14
Suntoer rolls _Initiative (d20 + 2): [3 + 2] = 5
Derickt: [[oops, that should be +2]]
DM rolls d20: [16] = 16
DM: [[hmm, tie.. what's your dex bonus, Derickt?]]
Derickt: [[+2]]
DM: [[beats the Gnoll, you're up first]]
Derickt yells "Take this one prisoner!"
Derickt tries to exit the tent, and knock out a pole
Derickt: [[assuming its held up by poles]]
DM: [[it is]]
Derickt: [[so i guess I try and body check the pole by the flap]]
DM: [[There's a pole within a 5 foot step's reach, strength check to take down the pole]]
Derickt rolls Strength Check (d20 + 1): [1 + 1] = 2
Suntoer: [[yikes]]
Taran: [[O.O]]
Derickt: [[oh good grief]]
Derickt: [[thanks for using all the 20's guys]]
JoxAshwood: [[rofl]]
Viktor: [[haha]]
JoxAshwood: [[wishes he didnt have to laugh OOC]]
DM: Derickt throws all his weight and might onto one of the tent's poles... which barely even bends.
JoxAshwood: [[had a better shot and he gets -1]]
Viktor: Taran... I just had a thought
Taran: yes?
Viktor: Send Orseph to Suntoer and Derickt with a message
Taran: you got any paper?
Viktor: Do you think Gnolls would be afriad of a little beheading? and yes
DM: The still living Gnoll, awakened by the combat, sees the halves of his partner surrounding the Half-Orc suddenly occupying his tent, and sees that the tent flap is now vacant.
Taran: Maybe if it was the head of a recognized leader
Viktor gives Taran a paper
Viktor gives him a quill and ink as well
DM: He stands up [[attack of opportunity for Suntoer]]
Taran: which I don't believe THAT gnoll was
Taran shrugs and takes the materials. What should it say?
Viktor: I'm thinking, if you were positive that it was a gnoll tent, then we could use him as an intimidation factor to cath them off gaurd
Taran: I suppose
Viktor: simple, kill any gnoll in there, take thier heads and have orseph bring it back
DM: [[yoo hoo, Suntoer... attack of opportunity, you gonna take it?]]
Taran: [[free attack roll]]
Suntoer: [[should i kill it?]]
Suntoer: [[fine]]
Suntoer rolls _Attack (d20 + 1 + 4): [3 + 1 + 4] = 8
Taran: [[you can take -4 penalty to deal nonlethal]]
Suntoer: [[sheesh
Derickt: [[I yelled to take it prisoner before running into a pole, take that as you will]]
DM: Suntoer slashes at the Gnoll as it stands, but misses.
DM: The Gnoll proceeds to beat feet out of the tent.
Taran writes the note, containing the message Viktor suggests, sending Orseph off to the rest of our group
Taran: [[at a double move, Orseph can travel 120 feet per round]]
DM: [[Attack of opportunity as it goes past Derickt]]
Viktor: One could hope that orseph would get thre in time
Derickt attempts to tackle the gnoll
Taran: he's never failed me before
Taran turns to Jox and Beau, "You guys are quiet"
Viktor: I'm putting my faith into him, this plan could come off with out a hitch
JoxAshwood: [[inputting macros]]
JoxAshwood: [[then gonna figure out how to roll]]
Taran rolls d20: [5] = 5
DM: [[Taran, what kind of roll would his tackle be?]]
Taran: [[a tackle? hmm]]
Taran: [[who's tackling? Sounds like a move action into a grapple check without more info]]
DM: [[Derickt is trying to tackle the Gnoll as it runs past]]
Taran: [[as an AoO?]]
Derickt: [[yep]]
Taran: [[grapple check which then provokes an AoO from the gnoll since I'm assuming he's no longer flat-footed]]
Taran: [[if the gnoll doesn't get an AoO in responce, then Derickt makes a melee touch attack]]
DM: [[The Gnoll will choose not to take the AoO, as his intent is to flee, not fight]]
Taran: [[then Derickt makes a melee attack roll]]
Derickt rolls Attack 1-Handed (d20 + 1): [17 + 1] = 18
Taran: [[pretty sure that connects]]
DM: [[definitely clears the touch AC]]
Taran: [[moving onto establishing a hold, both parties make an opposed grapple check]]
Taran: [[that's 1d20 + Str mod and possibly a +4 bonus for Derickt if this child is Small-size]]
DM rolls d20 + 3: [15 + 3] = 18
Derickt rolls d20: [9] = 9
Derickt: [[+1, 10]]
Taran: [[No hold, the gnoll is free to escape]]
DM: Derickt dives after the Gnoll and tries to take it down, but the Gnoll slips through his arms and continues to flee.
Taran: [[oh you add your BAB as well, but that sitll wouldn't saved you heh]]
Derickt curses
Taran: [[welcome to your first bout with the grappling rules]]
DM: The Gnoll quickly heads off to the north, going mostly the same way that the other group did.
DM: [[we'll just pretend that the tent is only slightly east of the path the rest of you guys took]]
Viktor: [[sounds good]]
Taran: [[hehe yeah, so Orseph shows up?]]
DM: Orseph arrives at the tent moments after the Gnoll scurries away.
Derickt: "Whoa, it's Taran's hawk"
Orseph: Scriiiiawwww!!!
Orseph: Scriiiiawww!
DM: [[Spot checks for the group to the north]]
Taran rolls Spot (d20 + 6): [6 + 6] = 12
JoxAshwood scratches his butt
Derickt: Do I notice the paper Orseph is carrying?
Viktor rolls Spot (d20 + 3 + 4 + 1): [5 + 3 + 4 + 1] = 13
Viktor: [[would listen play in a factor too?]]
Orseph lands nearby, a piece of paper rolled up against his leg in a sheath
Derickt takes the paper
Orseph: flies back to his master
Suntoer: What does it say?
Derickt reads aloud
DM: Taran and Viktor notice what appears to be a blur going by, but can't tell what direction it headed off in. Jox is too busy scratching his ass to notice anything. Beau is apparently dead to the world.
Taran: [[If you are reading this, then we are already dead]]
Derickt: [[NOOOOOOOO]]
Viktor: [[haha]]
Taran: [[please]]
Taran: [[*DM cues Kobold trap*]]
Derickt: "Apparently they want us to take the head of this gnoll Suntoer"
Viktor: [[please tell my loved ones that I always hated them and that they drove me to this]]
Derickt: "You want the honour, or shall I?"
Viktor: I wonder what that was Taran
Suntoer: I'll do it.
Derickt: "Fair enough"
Taran rolls Knowledge (nature) (d20 + 9): [10 + 9] = 19
Suntoer slices off the head
Taran: [[shot in the dark identification of what it could be]]
Derickt ransacks the tent
DM: [[No such luck, you already had your chance with the spot check]]
Derickt: Anything worth taking?
Suntoer: Anything to carry it in?
Derickt: "Meh, I'll just hold it by the hair"
DM: There is nothing of value in the tent.
Taran: [[Counter: since I know it was too fast to see I could go on a hunch it's something known to move very fast, like a ...LARGE mongoose]]
Derickt: "Alright, let's follow the bird"
Taran: [[Razz]]
Derickt follows the bird
Suntoer does so
Taran: [[seriously, you there Beau?]]
Beauregard Tau: [[uh yeah, bathroom brk, sry
Viktor: [[Razz]]
DM: Derickt and Suntoer meet up with the rest of the group.
Viktor: So, what happened at that tent?
Derickt: [[HAI GAIS]]
Taran pats Orseph on the head as he returns, offering a nice juicy rat to him
Derickt: "Just some kid gnolls camping. One got away. Here's the other"
Derickt holds up the head
Viktor: Got... away?
Beauregard Tau pokes the eye of the severed head
Taran snears "Really? A child's head??!!"
Derickt: "Bugger ran right past me. Strong mongrel too"
Derickt: "And fast"
Viktor: hmmm this might be even better then I thought
Viktor: I've got an idea brewing
Derickt: "Hey man, you just said take the head, so we did"
Beauregard Tau: An idea, huh?
Taran: we assumed you would take the head of a combatant
JoxAshwood: Why did you want a gnoll head?
Derickt: "I'm surprised you didn't see the one that got away, he ran this way"
Viktor: We were taking a leak so what?
Viktor: but in any case, Suntoer, do youthinkg it's possible to hold my weight up?
Taran raises his hands up in frustration for a moment. "Alright Vik. what's this idea of yours? Stick the heads up on pikes and carry them around?"
Viktor: no
Suntoer: Easily
Beauregard Tau: Yeah, Vik, whats this idea?
Viktor: heh
Viktor: Well i suppose that I could get on the back of suntoer, use a disguise as a demon of some sort and freighten the gnolls with this childs head
Beauregard Tau scratches his stubbly chin
Derickt: [[I forgot to check the body of the dead gnoll, crap]]
You privately roll d8 + 2: [5 + 2] = 7
Beauregard Tau: Hmmm, you think that'll work?
Suntoer groans
Viktor: What's wrong Suntoer?
JoxAshwood checks the ground for some rocks
Viktor: [[princess bride anyone? same Idea different tatic]]
Derickt: "I think they know we're coming"
Viktor: well that maybe an issue, but do you think that the gnoll child got a good look at you?
Taran: What with an errant kid, likely running off to tell the grown-ups. For all we know they were brothers.

Now I must apologize... I grabbed that much of the log at that point in the game, by the time it ended, I wasn't thinking about grabbing the rest of it... So the rest of the session is simply lost.

Summing it up, they continued on to the north, using Orseph as an advance scout, eventually seeing the gnoll camp, arriving in the early afternoon (keep in mind that gnolls are nocturnal). They saw 5 tents, but no gnolls. Plans were discussed to attempt the demon disguise, and also to simply torch the tents and handle the survivors. No decisions were made yet, the session was ended before combat began. ...Hopefully next week I'll remember to grab the whole log.

Innkeeper: Eh? What's that? Is that layabout finally awake?
JoxAshwood: too bad the only girl in the party got teleported back to her room...
DM: The Innkeeper bangs on Falash's door, demanding payment for the extended stay.
JoxAshwood: [[ok, OOC now]]
JoxAshwood: [[and OCD]]
DM: [[...anyone remember what I charged for the single night?]]
Falash looks around the room for an escape route
Taran: [[you charged what you thought it would be in WoW, 5 sp I believe]]
DM: The room has a single window, but you're on the second story
JoxAshwood: [[this is what you get for asking for quality]]
Falash looks out the window towards the drop.
Falash: "Sigh. Didn't my companions pay you?"
Innkeeper: Only for themselves, not for you.
Falash pays the innkeeper and asks where they went.
Innkeeper: You arrived on your own and promised payment when you woke up.
Viktor: [[I never payer Very Happy]]
Taran: [[not to be rude, but couldn't you cover Falash's backstory in private in an IM or something while the rest of us do

something?]]
Falash: [[we can do that. I can just catch up on the story of that later and just join back in, if you'd like]]
Derickt: [[I wanted to see Falash jump out the window]]
DM: [[...this is happening right now, it's hardly backstory... and this interruption probably lengthened it, it was pretty much over

when you said that... Razz]]
Taran: [[k then]]
JoxAshwood: [[i wanted to see him land]]
Falash: [[A gnome? 2 story drop? Noooooo. Not for my coward.]]
Innkeeper: They headed northeast out of the village, you should be able to catch up with them, they only left this morning.
Taran: So guys, I just realized if they're all sleeping, what if we just move in and execute all but one?
Falash: [[And how much money?]]
Derickt: "Why let one live?"
JoxAshwood: I may be able to take them all out before they wake up
Falash nods and gives his thanks and heads off in that direcction at a brisk pace
Viktor: sounds alright
JoxAshwood: [[also, remembered he's only talkingto one person at the moment]]
DM: [[5 sp for the night, plus 2 sp for the extra half day you stayed]]
JoxAshwood: [[who was sneaking around with me?]]
Falash: [[allllrighty]]
Derickt: "Wait, they know we're coming. They probably won't be asleep"
JoxAshwood: [[adds macro]]
Lottel has left the session
Suntoer: Maybe they set traps.
Lottel has joined the session
Falash: [[uh oh]]
DM: A sudden blip appears in the sky, and everything turns orange. When you can see again, Falash is with you.
Viktor: Let me see if I can identify anything
Derickt: "If we hurry, they won't have time to set many"
JoxAshwood: [[damn David Blaine wannabe]]
Falash: "Morning"
Viktor: hang on... I'm going to spot check it
Viktor rolls Spot (d20 + 3 + 4 + 1): [13 + 3 + 4 + 1] = 21
JoxAshwood: [[better than +2?]]
JoxAshwood: [[yup]]
Taran: [[Search is used for finding traps, and you have to be next to the 5-foot square]]
JoxAshwood still wants to move silently toward the tents
DM: [[Yeah, if you can spot check traps... they're ridiculously horrible traps]]
Taran: [[go ahead Jox, but Fernin rolls for you...in secret]]
Viktor: [[ I did, I got 21]]
JoxAshwood tells you: Again I have +4 Ability, +4 Ranks, and +2 race
Derickt: [[is that thing to the left the new gnolls camp?]]
Taran: [[Search and Spot are different skills]]
JoxAshwood: [[I know, I'm good
DM: [[...The point is that traps aren't found by using a Spot check]]
Lottel has left the session
Viktor: [[Oh... okay]]
Taran: [[don't tell me lottel's dropped out again...]]
Lottel has joined the session
Viktor: [[I could still search it though right?]]
JoxAshwood: [[wb Lottel Smile]]
Falash: [[What the hell D:]]
Taran: [[you have to walk up to a space...which means we need an actual diagram of the camp and then you make the check]]
Viktor: [[ ah okay]]
Viktor: [[my bad]]
DM: [[You can search within 5 feet of you... you guys are probably about 20 yards away from the camp still]]
JoxAshwood: [[looks at his feet, seeing the ground laid out in perfectly laid square lines, like a grid]]
Viktor: [[KK]]
Taran leads the excursion to the lip of the camp
DM: [[Jox is moving silently]]
JoxAshwood: [[I want to get to the nearest tent]]
JoxAshwood: [[Taran and I also went different directions]]
Taran: [[we get it, you're a sneakthief, but you can't steal when Fernin hasn't drawna F'taghn map of the place]]
Derickt: [[Is the camp north or west?]]
JoxAshwood: [[I didnt want a big clumsy guy over 5' tall hindering me]]
Lottel has left the session
DM: [[The hell do you call the thing to the left of you?]]
Lottel has joined the session
Taran: [[heh, sorry]]
Taran: [[need to work on that Lottel]]
Falash: [[This is going to get annoying
Derickt: "I say we surround the camp and attack from all sides
Falash: [[I've got full bars!]]
JoxAshwood: [[notices Orseph abandoned on the map Razz]]
Derickt: [[whoa, taran is far away]]
Taran: [[we're south of the camp aren't we?]]
DM: [[maybe move to a spot where you can plug into the internet, rather than being wireless?]]
DM: [[you're approaching the camp from the southwest]]
Taran: [[gomen]]
Falash: [[I really can't]]
Derickt: [[ok, im SW now]]
Taran looks around to the (amassing) group "Anyone opposed to me playing trouble shooter here?"
DM: [[...and now I'm confused, I could've sworn I changed this map at some point this week... ah well]]
Derickt: [[i couldve i made macros, but meh]]
JoxAshwood: [[am I supposed to be near Taran?]]
DM: [[yea, whole group is still together, map just sucks]]
Derickt: "What do you mean by troubleshooter?"
Taran: Going in there and checking things out...see if there're any traps and such
Falash: "I'm not a fan of getting in trouble when weapons are involved..."
Taran: [[quit that Jox]]
JoxAshwood: [[still looking to be checking out one of the tents]]
JoxAshwood: [[i search all over the map to find yhou :p I thought you were like 8 screens north]]
DM: [[oh... nearly forgot...]]
Derickt: "What if you head in from the SW, and the rest of us flank the other sides? They might only have traps on this side"

DM: [[Orange!]] **This is when I remembered that Beau, who wasn't playing tonight, was still in the group, and moved him off the

map**
Taran: sounds fine to me I suppose, I would like someone else on my end as a backup if things turn sour though
JoxAshwood: thats not me
Derickt: "I nominate Suntoer"
JoxAshwood: i'm half yuor size and only have a dagger
JoxAshwood: we need someone else
Taran: [[and if Jox is so stubborn about being a rogue and going to sneak around, I say Fernin invokes Initiative rolls]]
Falash: [[XD]]
DM: [[yeah, now's a good time for that]]
Taran rolls Initiative (d20 + 7): [5 + 7] = 12
Derickt: [[can I go around wide to the north of the camp?]]
JoxAshwood tells you: Initiative is +4 Dex and +4 Improved Initiative Wink
Suntoer: [[crap lost my macros]]
Derickt rolls Initiative (d20 + 1): [17 + 1] = 18
Falash rolls init (d20 + 3): [17 + 3] = 20
DM: [[Jox... he didn't mean I roll ALL your rolls, only Move Silently]]
Suntoer rolls Initiative (d20 + 2): [1 + 2] = 3
JoxAshwood rolls Initiative (d20 + 4 + 4): [7 + 4 + 4] = 15
Derickt: [[oops, that should be +2, so 19]]
Suntoer: [[geez]] DM rolls d20: [17] = 17
Viktor: [[was I supposed to roll :O
JoxAshwood: [[probably]]
DM: [[everyone takes part in rolling initiative]]
Taran: [[Make sure you state how many squares you're moving Jox]]
JoxAshwood: [[looks at feet]]
Lottel has left the session
Viktor: [[kk... just D20 + Dex?]]
JoxAshwood: [[sure thing boss]]
Lottel has joined the session
DM: [[Look on your sheet, Slayer, you have a box labeled Initiative
JoxAshwood: [[Lottel! Try and find some wi-fi to steal Smile]]
Viktor: [[ah okay]]
Viktor: [[all zero so... d20]]
Viktor rolls initiative (d20): [5] = 5
Derickt: Viktor, you and I should flank while Taran and Suntoer go in directly
Viktor: hmm sounds like a plan
Derickt: I'll go left, you go right.
Suntoer: Very well.
Viktor: heh alright
JoxAshwood: [[Words from GOD!]] **This is when I wrote the turn order on the map**
Taran: [[Guys, you can also choose to delay your actions if you want to see what someone else does before acting. Not that I

figure we'll be doing much of that here, but it's a general rule]]
JoxAshwood: [[the mystery of the Naztec lines is solved!!]]
Taran: [[Nazca]]
JoxAshwood: [[yeah, those too]]
Derickt: Taran, give us a minute to get in position, then send Orseph to the NE side of the camp? Might cause a distraction.
Suntoer: [[hehe]]
Taran nods
JoxAshwood: [[are we redoin th assault? Do i have to sneak in again?]]
Derickt heads north
Derickt: [[oops, i forgot about jox]]
Taran: [[you guys can take up to a double move in a turn]]
JoxAshwood: [[roll?]]
Derickt: Jox, you go with Viktor, Falash, you're with me
JoxAshwood: [[whats their plan? I'm not going to straight assault as a halfling]]
Falash pulls out his crossbow. "Fine."
Taran looks over to Suntoer "Worse comes to worse, I can help patch you up if we have to fight."
JoxAshwood: Actualy, I'll go with them
Taran rolls Orseph Initiative (d20 + 3): [6 + 3] = 9
Taran: [[heh, forgot m'hawk...for once]]
Suntoer: Sounds good to me
JoxAshwood follows Viktor and Falash
Viktor: if everything works out, we won't do anything Jox
Falash: [[Derickt and Falash, not Viktor]]
Derickt: [[mind if i put myself in position DM?]]
DM: [[combat is started now, move on your own turn]]
JoxAshwood: Vik, Falash, my best help is scouting, recon, then as decent cover fire if things go wrong...
DM: [[Falash is up first]]
Falash: [[Not Viktor.]]
DM: [[Jox, pay attention, you're with Viktor, not Falash]]
Derickt: [[turns on ff6 battle music]]
JoxAshwood: [[oh, need to move to the other side then. near him]]
JoxAshwood moves
JoxAshwood: [[thanks]]
Falash moves closer to the tents
Taran: [[here's to hoping we get to kill something meaningful within the next half hour-hour]]
Viktor: look... just hide behind my tower shield and you'll be covered
JoxAshwood checks for brush and bushes high enough to conseal him
JoxAshwood: That's ok, I can find my own cover
DM: [[You're facing 1/2 challenge rating Gnolls... what are you expecting to be meaningful? Should I throw a baby dragon into

one of the tents? Razz ]]
JoxAshwood tells you: what roll is needed?
Falash: [[NO DRAGONS D:]]
Derickt: [[the camp is really a sarlac pit monster]]
You tell JoxAshwood: Looking around for bushes is a Spot check.
Falash: [[Never again Sad]]
Taran: [[Dragon encounters don't have to involve weapons if you're smart and savvy enough, but yeah no dragons till we're level 2

plz]]
JoxAshwood rolls Spot (d20 + 2): [4 + 2] = 6
DM: [[If Falash is done, then Derickt is up]]
Derickt: [[how far can i move?]]
Falash: [[sorry. Done.]]
Derickt: [[60 ft right]]
DM: [[Kindly say when you're done, and don't wait for me to say So and so's turn to start if you're next, that should save us some

time]]
Falash: [[Sorry. Got distracted a bit]]
Taran: [[on a double move yeah, assuming you're base 30]]
Derickt: [[ok, done]]
DM: [[He's human, so yeah, unless he's overburdened]]
DM: [[Go ahead, Jox]]
Taran: [[gnolls skip their turn to catch up on rest Very Happy]]
JoxAshwood: I'm going to take out a handful of rocks and get ready
Taran: [[don't suppose you're going to MOVE eh?]]
DM: You notice a small amount of bushes 15 feet to your northeast.
JoxAshwood: [[looked for coer already behind Vik]]
Viktor: if you say so Jox
JoxAshwood goes for those
Taran: [[some cover if you're parallel to each other]]
JoxAshwood: [[being all tricksy with the resident dunk eh? Razz]]
Taran: [[done?]]
JoxAshwood: [[yeah]]
DM: [[You did the search on someone else's turn, so that's your action for this turn... If you want to hide in those bushes, you'll have to wait til your next turn]]
JoxAshwood: [[i'll do it then]]
DM: [[Currently, you're just standing next to the bushes, in full view]]
Taran delays his turn until Orseph can act, so they can act at the same time
Taran: [[now that they're on at the same init count I move into the camp, with Orseph on my shoulder]]
Taran: [[every other diagonal costs 2 squares right?]]
Derickt: [[theres a ruler]]
JoxAshwood: [[just like Monoploy]]
Suntoer: [first is one next is 2 i think]
Taran: [[move your piec back Jox]]
Suntoer: [[and it alternates]]
JoxAshwood: [[back where?]]
DM: [[That was me who moved it, since Jox didn't move his piece earlier]]
Taran: [[sorry then]]
DM: [[Then I bothered to take out the ruler]]
Taran took a double move and ended his turn
Lottel has left the session
Lottel has joined the session
Taran: [[I tell ya that boy ain't right]]
Falash: [[oh god dammit]]
DM: [[Viktor, you're up]]
Taran: [[didn't miss anything]]
DM: [[Until the end of the battle, you're after Taran and Orseph]]
Viktor dones tower shield and Mace
Viktor: [[I'm done]]
Suntoer moves up next to Taran
Suntoer: [[that's all]]
Taran: [[round 2 then?]]
DM: [[It does tend to come after round 1]]
Falash: [[crap.]]
Suntoer: [[i don't see any chicks holding any signs]]
Derickt: [[lmao. the victory music just came on]]
Derickt: [[a little premature methinks]]
Taran: [[what is Falash anyway?]]
JoxAshwood: [[stoned]]
DM: [[Halfling Rogue]]
Falash: [[gnome rogue]]
DM: [[Ah, my bad... didn't we have a Halfling something or other at some point?]]
Falash: [[someone was]]
DM: [[We're waiting on you to take your turn, Falash...]]
JoxAshwood: [[would probablyask the gone to help him sneak in but is afraid he'd talk his ear off]]
Taran: [[that was Fred]]
JoxAshwood: [[I'm a halfling]]
Falash: [[aaaand... that's it]]
Taran: [[Falash. Act. Now]]
DM: [[What's it?]]
Falash: [[He moved]]
Derickt casts mage armor and equips his daggers
DM: [[Then say so]]
Derickt: [[done]]
Taran: [[not enough time to do both unless you have Quick Draw]]
JoxAshwood: [[who's the DM here?]]
Derickt: [[equiping is a move action]]
Falash: [[Sorry. Will do]]
Taran: [[Fernin, but he trusts me on rulings]]
DM: [[No, Taran's right, drawing a weapon is a standard action]]
Taran: [[Unless you have a BAB of +1 or better, than you can draw it as part of a move action]]
Derickt: [[my phb must be wrong then. bollocks]]
DM: [[Actually, screw it, I've never liked that rule]]
Derickt just casts mage armor then
DM: [[Your action was fine, Derickt, draw those daggers]]
Derickt: [[yay]]
Derickt: [[still done though]]
DM: [[Drawing a weapon will be a move action now, regardless of Quick Draw, equipping armor remains a varying length standard action]]
DM: [[right, Gnolls still take no action, you're up, Jox]]
JoxAshwood draws dagger instead
DM: [[...instead of what?]]
DM: [[You didn't say anything to begin with...]]
JoxAshwood: [[rocks]]
JoxAshwood: [[ Wink ]]
Falash: rawr
DM: [[Not likely, my friend, you did that already, you can't change history]]
Falash: [[sorry. Gf is typing a bit]]
JoxAshwood: [[rawr indeed]]
DM: [[Especially not a full turn later]]
JoxAshwood: [[well what are my options then?]]
Falash: [[she's a tad drink. And gone now]]
Falash: [[*drunk]]
JoxAshwood: [[rofl]]
JoxAshwood sneaks closer to camp if he can
DM: [[[I'm not an option panel, this is D and freakin' D, you can do absolutely ANYTHING, you don't have limited options]]
Taran: [[bad phrasing]]
Falash: [[YOU TELL 'IM]]
Derickt: [[ you can move to there jox]]
DM: [[If you want to Sneak, roll Sneak, I'll let you know if anyone spots you]]
Taran: [[closing in on hour 1]]
Derickt: [[if no ones spotted suntoer and taran yet, i doubt anyone will see you moving behind the big hut]]
DM: [[And if you don't freakin' DO something already, you'll stand there sucking your thumb in fear and enter a panicked state]]
Derickt: [[just follow the line]]
JoxAshwood: [[I actually have to ask options yes]]
JoxAshwood: [[but I'll sneak around]]
JoxAshwood: ./tell this is due to Taran's Demi-God DMing
DM: [[We'll discuss "options" after the game, this has taken way too damn long for one turn already]]
Falash: [[... Very Happy]]
DM: [["I'll sneak around" tells me nothing... How far, and in what direction, and are you ever going to roll the damn check?]]
DM: Jox succesfully sneaks around the bush he's standing next to and goes nowhere.
DM: [[NEXT!]]
Lottel has left the session
Lottel has joined the session
Taran: First, I'm going to go up to the entrance of the camp north of where I am (moving a total of 25 ft for one move action)
Taran: Orseph comes with since he's perched on my shoulder
Taran: is the tent open or closed?
DM: Closed.
Taran: I see
Falash: [[you hear grunting. The gnolls are fornicating as we speak]]
Taran rolls Listen (d20 + 6): [5 + 6] = 11
Taran: can I make out anything on the otherside?
Viktor: [[I just sprayed water all over... that was great!]]
DM: You hear gentle snores coming from within.
Taran: alright if I spend that last 5 feet of my first move to slip inside?
DM: sure
Taran: What do I see?
DM: You see a pair of occupied sleeping rolls on the ground.
Taran: I'm assuming they're Gnolls? Are they adult males?
Falash: [[who is ephrils?]]
Suntoer: [[ghandi]]
Falash: [[aaaaahhhh]]
Taran: [[oh calm down, it's not like he's Candleja--]]
DM: You can't tell, the bodies are covered entirely.
Taran: Orseph will swoop down and pull the cover flap off one
DM: Orseph reveals a pile of rocks beneath the cover.
Taran: [[seriously?]]
Derickt: [[oh shit]]
Viktor: [[my turn?]]
Taran: [[nope]]
DM: [[Gnoll's turn]]
Taran: [[I've still got 1 standard action due to me]]
Falash: [[Falash is glad he is far away]]
DM: [[Ah, yup]]
Taran: [[so if Orseph finds a pile of rocks in one camp, I'll drive my scimitar into the other, but not enough to dent the blade in case it's another bunch of rocks]]
DM: You slice through the cover easily and immediately hear the sound of metal scraping on stone.
Suntoer: [[rocks snore?]]
Taran: [[he's got a point there]]
Taran rolls Spot (d20 + 6): [15 + 6] = 21
Falash: [[Ghost sound? Faking it? THEY ARE HIDING BEHIND HIM?!]]
Derickt: [[they have a tape player playing a recording of them snoring, duh]]
Taran: [[looking up]]
Falash: [[GNOLLS FROM THE SKY!]]
Taran: [[if they're behind me then Suntoer fails bigtime as a guard]]
DM: Looking up, you see the top of the tent. It is a very nice tent top, held up by two tent poles.
Taran yells to Suntoer "It's a trap!"
Taran: [[I'm done]]
DM: [[He fails bigtime as a guard because he couldn't see through the opaque material of the tents?]]
Taran: [[no, he fails if he didn't see anyone come in behind me]]
JoxAshwood: [[is back and rum filled]]
DM: [[No one came in behind you, you just never bothered to look to the sides]]
Falash: [[would erickt have seen them?]]
Falash: [[*Derickt]]
DM: [[If he has X-ray vision, sure...]]
Taran: [[I'm sorry, how freaking dark is it in here I didn't notice them at all?]]
Falash: [[Very Happy GNOLLS ATTACK TWICE WHILE YOU HAVE AN INTERNAL MONOLOGUE]]
DM: [[You never once said "I look left or right" Wink Literal DM, remember?]]
Taran: [[Ugh, give me a break, but fine]]
JoxAshwood: [[notices time.. Wow, we've gone longer than...EVER]]
Derickt: [[seeing bedrolls, it would make sense that you not look to the sides]]
Taran: [[actually I just asked "What do I see" I never specified ANY direction]]
DM: The gnoll to your left stabs at you.
Falash: [[Just take your minor wound like a man.]]
DM rolls d20 + 1: [14 + 1] = 15
Falash: [[Razz]]
Taran: [[what hit? he missed]]
JoxAshwood: [[notices the gnoll fight went to hell, if he's still conscious now, otherwise he's dreaming of a threesome]]
DM: [[Jox, you're over 80 feet away, and this is taking place inside of a tent... you must have better vision than Superman Razz]]
JoxAshwood: [[alcohol does that that to a man]]
DM: The other gnoll takes a swing
Derickt: [[viktor's turn?]]
DM rolls d20 + 1: [11 + 1] = 12
DM: [[Now it is, yes]]
JoxAshwood: [[was greeting a drunk drommate dancer in his Away time--yay for college]]
Viktor: I wonder what's going on there
JoxAshwood: [[ok..back to the game--]]
Viktor looks from behind his tower shield
Viktor: [[using spot to check the area]]
DM: [[Well, you did hear the shout "It's a trap"]]
Viktor: [[guess I have to listen then...]]
JoxAshwood: [[oh.. this is easy then]]
Viktor rolls Listen (d20 + 3 + 4): [18 + 3 + 4] = 25
JoxAshwood watches for any tide turning battle actions
Taran: [[Listen checks are immediate actions in this case]]
Derickt: [[hes 90 ft away o.O]]
DM: [[...You DID hear the shout... That wasn't questioning it, that wasn't requesting a check, that was saying you DID]]
Taran: [[heh]]
Viktor: [[oh Razz]]
DM: [[...and that's a good point... Taran shouted ridiculously loud, then Razz]]
Viktor: [[now I'm using spot to scope the area]]
Viktor rolls Spot (d20 + 3 + 4 + 1): [16 + 3 + 4 + 1] = 24
Derickt: [[get your ass into melee... says the voice in your head. Razz]]
Taran: [[umm who's Beauregard again?]]
JoxAshwood tells you: on my action I'm going to move close enough to watch the battle. Maybe 20 feet away.
DM: You see a large tent and four smaller tents roughly 30 yards away.
Viktor: [[nothing else... damn]]
Taran: [[*Tents are not to mapscale]]
Derickt: [[bwahaha, youre killin me fernin]]
JoxAshwood: [[shrinks Eifell Tower. Gotcha]]
Viktor: well it looks like this might be a lost cause
Viktor leans back and lights up a smoke
Viktor: [[I'm done]]
Derickt: [[O.o]]
Suntoer draws his falchion
DM: [[...my thoughts exactly]]
Taran: [[you can do that while you move, "AHSANCHOP!" this G'D tent]]
Suntoer while he moves to the tent
Suntoer and into it
Derickt tells you: do I know what tent Taran is in?
Suntoer: [[can i attack?]]
Taran: [[You can rage AND attack, though I'd block the entrance personally]]
You tell Derickt: No, he moved out of your line of sight.
Suntoer: [[rage already?]]
Derickt tells you: even after the yell?
Taran: [[it's your call on that]]
Suntoer: [[i'll wait]]
Suntoer: I'll use power attack and attack the gnoll to my east.
Suntoer rolls Attack (d20 + 1 + 4): [16 + 1 + 4] = 21
DM: [[eesh, that just sounds odd... "left" and "right" did exist in these times, you know Wink ]
Suntoer: -1
Taran quips between gnoll strikes "Looks like things have already turned to pot my blade-bearing friend"
DM: [[That's a hit]]
Suntoer rolls Damage (2d4 + 6): [(4 + 1) + 6] = 11
Suntoer: +1
JoxAshwood: [[nice]]
Taran: [[might want to do a seperate macro for Power Attack stuff man]]
Suntoer: [[alright. already did that for rage too]]
Taran: [[is it dead yet?]]
DM: Suntoer slices into the Gnoll's chest, piercing the Gnoll's small heart. The Gnoll collapses, dying before it hits the ground.
DM: [[More attacks like that and we'll be well on our way to finishing this battle]]
Taran "A sound hit indeed" he says, shifting his defenses to focus on the other gnoll
Falash: [[Keep it up. Maybe Falash won't attack. Smile]]
Suntoer: [[can't wait to get a crit]]
Taran: [[no game actions or anything taken mind you, just trying to provide some in-game dialogue]]
DM: [[You're up, Falash]]
Taran: [[seems we've got the best damage dealer for last]]
Falash aims at the nearest gnoll
Falash rolls Crossbow (d20 + 3 + 0): [11 + 3] = 14
Derickt tells you: what are the tents made of? canvas?
Taran: [[you're shooting through a tent!]]
DM: ...You don't see any Gnolls to shoot at.
Falash: [[oh?
DM: [[When did everyone in this group get x-ray vision?]]
Taran: [[the tents aren't to map scale]]
Falash: [[Razz I assumed... I am stupid]]
DM: [[The tents are made of brown canvas]]
Falash: [[I know. You siad that. I am just retarded.]]
Taran: [[granted, he could possibly land a hit]]
Falash aims for the tent, readying his crossbow
Taran: [[it'd be 50% concealment and he'd have to guess where the thing was, if at all]]
Taran: [[like hitting someone invisible...but if Falash is done...]]
Falash: [[Uhh... Well. Yes. What is it? Ready Action?]]
Taran: [[readying for enemies right? I don't want to get sniped the moment I get out]]
Falash: [[He is prepared to shoot the first gnoll leaving the tent]]
Falash: [[Maaaybe Orseph. He didn't get breakfast]]
DM: [[works for me, go ahead, Derickt]]
Derickt moves Derickt attempts to cut a hole in the tent
You privately roll d100: [84] = 84
Derickt: [[by stabbing the tent and dragging the dagger downwards]]
DM: You succesfully cut a small hole in the side of the tent, roughly 3 inches long.
Taran sees little red ! symbols over the gnolls' heads in his mind.
Derickt: [[hmm, i cant crawl through a 3 inch hole]]
Taran: [[you can see through one though]]
Viktor: [[MGS refernce FTW]]
Derickt: [[thats it for me then]]
DM: The Gnoll swings at Taran.
DM rolls d20 + 1: [9 + 1] = 10
Taran: Very Happy
You privately roll d20: [6] = 6
DM: [[Next]]
JoxAshwood sneks closer
Derickt: [[wonders if jox is still here]]
Taran: Can Orseph give me flanking benefits?
Taran: i.e. can he move into that sort of position?
JoxAshwood: [[closer?]]
Taran: [[it's my turn Jox]]
JoxAshwood: [[closer than i am?]]
JoxAshwood: [[I imagine so]]
Derickt: [[you can move up right of falash]]
JoxAshwood: [[done
Taran: [[man I've been up too long, sorry there]]
Derickt: [[go ranger man]]
Taran: [[That's DRUID Razz ]]
JoxAshwood: [[right behind is good engh]]
DM: [[In answer to your question from earlier, yes, Orseph can move around, no, he can't provide flanking bonuses]]
Falash: [[Just remember, standing infront of Falash gives me penalties to my attacks]]
JoxAshwood: [[I dont want to stand in front]]
Taran moves where his hawk was at the same time
Orseph heads off and over the gnoll's head, providing a useful flank, then driving his scimitar in a wide swipe while Orseph scratches at the back of the gnoll's head with his talons
JoxAshwood: [[of a GNOME? PLEASE]]
Taran: [[that works right? If not I can have Orseph occupy the same space as the gnoll]]
Taran rolls Scimitar Attack (d20 + 1): [9 + 1] = 10
Taran rolls Orseph Attack (d20 + 5): [6 + 5] = 11
DM: Both attacks miss.
Taran: [[damn dice]]
Taran: [[I'm spent]]
Taran: [[you're up Snake]]
Derickt: [[go cleric man]]
Viktor: [[alright]]
Viktor flicks the smoke to the ground
Derickt: [[dammit]]
Viktor: looks like trouble...
Viktor: [[how do I move, do I say I just move or do I have to roll?]]
Derickt: [[you can just move right up to where jox is]]
Viktor trots up to where jox is
Taran: [[you wearing heavy armor?]]
JoxAshwood: [[who?]]
DM: [[I'll save my response til after the game, go ahead, Not Sure]]
Viktor: [[just the shield]]
Suntoer moves to the remaining gnoll and makes a regular attack
Viktor: [[I've got to crash at 2 no matter what Sad]]
Suntoer rolls Att (d20 + 1 + 4): [11 + 1 + 4] = 16
JoxAshwood: [[EST?]]
DM: [[Hit]]
Suntoer rolls Dmg (2d4 + 6): [(4 + 1) + 6] = 11
JoxAshwood: [[You have sunk... my battleship!]]
Suntoer: [[woo]]
Taran: [[Yep. In which case the dead gnoll might be a sane end to this session, agreed?]]
Taran: [[HOLY SHIT MAN!]]
JoxAshwood: [[I haent had an action in a long time]]
Taran gawks at the sheer mastery of violence exhibited by the half-orc warrior.
JoxAshwood: [[i'm taking it now]]
JoxAshwood moves toward any teammates he can see
Viktor: [[yes EST jox]]
DM: [[...How about no? Initiative exists for a reason]]
JoxAshwood: [[true, but its not time to end this now]]
JoxAshwood: [[I'm last, so I'll start walking whenever they're done]]
Taran: [No, Suntoer's last]]
DM: Suntoer slices straight through the Gnoll's midsection. The Gnoll falls to the floor, whimpering and barking in pain. He does not lie still.
DM: [[The turn order is in GIANT FREAKIN' LETTERS on the map]]
JoxAshwood kicks ernin in the head
JoxAshwood: [[the Devil made me do it]]
Derickt tells you: do I know if the fire is burning?
DM: [[I'd say the booze made you do it, and I'm going to have to enforce a No Drinking rule for Ghandi for future sessions]]
Taran: [[House Rule: No Rum during D&D. All in favor?]]
JoxAshwood: [[Charles Manson is SO DAMN persuasive!]]
Taran: [[HAH!]]
You tell Derickt: The fire is burning, but very low, almost down to embers.
Falash: [[can the rest of us still drink?]]
JoxAshwood: [[Well, no booze gives you about 2 players, counting you :p]
JoxAshwood: [[ok, my turn apparently is next... I'm simply going to move close enogh to see what the paty is doing... which I imagine is about ~15 feet away]]
DM: Bah, enough, I'm calling this one early.

Vald has joined the session
JoxAshwood: wb
not_sure has joined the session
Taran: yo
Suntoer: hey
DM: it's rather bothersome that even plugged directly into my modem, my internet connection is crap...
Derickt: that sucks
Taran: I don't suppose there are any alternatives?
DM: this and mIRC are working fine, I just can't connect to any websites
DM: hmm... I wonder...
DM: if I leave, what happens to the room?
JoxAshwood: We get sucked into a world ending paradox
JoxAshwood: and, we may get disconnected
Taran: How long are we waiting after midnight?
DM: not long, we need to get moving
DM: doc's in the room but not responding, he's the only one I'm waiting on now
JoxAshwood puts on Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal"
Taran: ah
Taran: whatever happenned to Alien Antfarm?
Derickt: they crashed the BMA's
JoxAshwood: one hit wonder
Derickt: I assume they were killed
JoxAshwood: Their version of "Smooth Criminal" is awesome
Derickt: I need coke
JoxAshwood: Joins the ranks of very few songs... GOOD, listenable, covers
Taran: that's what got me thinking of them
Taran grabs his razorblade
DM: ok, doc's taking too lonh
DM: long, even
JoxAshwood tries to make doc's screen ping
Taran: before we begin, I'd just like to apologize if I came off as hateful to anyone
DM: as I recall, we left off with Falash's turn, who isn't here now, so take it away, Derickt
Derickt: yay!
Taran: Ultimately this whole thing is about having fun and staying up til the wee hours of the morning
Derickt: crap. I'm usually so prepared
JoxAshwood: [[what were we doing?]]
DM: [[Fightin' gnolls]]
JoxAshwood: [[Oh, I'm away with doc, who caught Narcolepsy, and.. who's Falash?]]
Taran: [[It was a trap, bastards are supposed to be asleep]]
DM: [[And I'd thank whoever is labelling my gnolls for me to kindly cut it out]]
Derickt runs to the fire, and looks for a good stick to light huts on fire
You privately roll d20: [7] = 7
DM: You find a suitable stick, though it is barely burning.
Derickt: [[can I pick it up this turn?]]
DM: [[yep]]
Derickt: [[can I run to a tent with it, or will that be next turn?]]
DM: [[that'd be next turn, by my count, you've moved 25 feet already]]
Derickt: [[ok, im done
DM: The almost dead gnoll takes a five foot step/crawl away from Suntoer
DM: Gnolls are done
JoxAshwood: [[this game needs to some rocking Linkin Park]]
JoxAshwood: [[and and endless supply of chips and snacks Smile]]
DM: [[Pay attention, Jox, it's your turn now Wink ]]
DM: [[We are still going in the turn order written on the map ]]
JoxAshwood: I'm moving closer to the tent I'm nexto
JoxAshwood: Which should put me close to, but not quite to it's opening
JoxAshwood goes around Viktor
DM: [[Move that piece, then, that looks doable to me]]
JoxAshwood: 20 feet
JoxAshwood: as fast as my feet work
DM: [[Since you're not taking an action, you can do two move actions if you want]]
DM: [[Up to you]]
JoxAshwood: then I'll get to just by the opening
JoxAshwood: I'm done
DM: [[...You with us, Taran? You're up]]
Taran: [[sorry, grandma was choking]]
Derickt: [[NO EXCUSES]]
Derickt: [[kidding]]
DM: [[dack, that's never good]]
DM: [[If you want to pass until she's alright, feel free]]
Taran takes a 5 foot step to close into melee and hopes he can actually connect a blow this time.
Taran rolls Scimitar Attack (d20 + 1): [9 + 1] = 10
DM: Swish! Taran's scimitar misses the Gnoll.
Taran: Orseph swoops in for a follow through
Taran rolls Orseph Attack (d20 + 5): [3 + 5] = 8
Taran: [[F these dice]]
Taran: [[end]]
DM: Orseph swoops in and swoops right on past and around again.
Suntoer takes a 5 foot step and attacks the gnoll
Suntoer rolls Att (d20 + 1 + 4): [20 + 1 + 4] = 25
Suntoer: [[heh]]
Derickt: [[oh my]]
Taran: [[that's a crit, not that it matters heh]]
Suntoer rolls Dmg (2d4 + 6): [(2 + 3) + 6] = 11
DM: [[Roll to confirm the crit, this'll be one decimated gnoll]]
Suntoer: [[toast either way]]
Derickt: [[almost dead gnoll is reduced to powder]]
Suntoer rolls Att (d20 + 1 + 4): [15 + 1 + 4] = 20
Suntoer: [[not that it matters
DM: [[Hah, crit confirmed]]
Taran: [[Quick question Fernin, do you simply multiply the total damage on a crit or just multiply the damage dice rolled?]]
Taran: [[You personally, that is]]
DM: [[Usually I go with multiplying the total]]
Taran: [[some people play it different, that's why I asked.]]
DM: [[If they end up with a crappy roll, I sometimes let them multiply the dice, all depends on the situation]]
Suntoer: [[i hit that gnoll so hard i think it should injure nearby gnolls]]
DM: Suntoer now has a mess of Gnoll Pulp to deal with.
JoxAshwood: [[there's 2 gnolls now Razz]]
Suntoer: [[ha]
Taran: [[and it's Viktor's turn]]
Taran: [[oh wait, nm]]
Derickt: [[is viktor here?]]
Suntoer: [[can't i move out?]]
DM: [[You took a 5 foot step so far, so yeah, you can continue to move now, up to your total]]
JoxAshwood: [[Great... people catch Narcolepsy wherever I go...]]
Suntoer moves just outside the tent
Suntoer: [[el done-o]]
Derickt goes to the nearest hut and tries to light it up
Derickt: [[moving as carefully as I can to keep the stick lit]]
DM: [[Hmm, the stick's barely on fire, so... 25% chance it'll catch]]
DM: [[That is, 25 or lower, it burns]]
DM rolls d100: [76] = 76
Derickt: [[doh]]
Taran: [[As a quick reminder, Taran did show he had several tindertwigs (fantasy matches) before we entered the place]]
Derickt: [[can I leave the stick against the tent and move to another tent?]]
DM: Derickt holds the smoldering stick near the tent, but the canvas doesn't catch fire immediately.
DM: [[Sure, that works.]]
DM: [[We'll say each person's turn is another 25% chance]]
Derickt: [[done]]
Derickt: [[sweet]]
JoxAshwood: [[is there we've made quite a lot of noise]]
JoxAshwood: I'm gong to peak into this big tent and see if they've noticed us yet
Derickt: [[jox is decapitated]]
You privately roll d20: [13] = 13
DM: [[Hm, define how... Just lifting the tent flap and peering in, sticking your head in the tent, what?]]
JoxAshwood: Lifting a flap and peering in.
JoxAshwood: [[may need to move closer]]
DM: [[Definitely, unless you have 7 foot long arms]]
JoxAshwood: move and peer
DM: [[And honestly, a gnome with 7 foot long arms would be hilarious to see]]
JoxAshwood: [[Halfling Wink]]
JoxAshwood: [[The gnome has narcolepsy]]
DM: [[Bah, sorry, keep getting you and Falash confused]]
Taran: [[You juggle halflings, you punt gnomes]]
JoxAshwood: [[and toss Dwarves]]
DM: Inside the tent, you can see three Gnolls, one rather large, one average sized, and one rather short
JoxAshwood: [[are they doing anything?]]
DM: They were jabbering to each other and honing their weapons, but stopped and stared at you when you lifted the tent flap.
Suntoer: [[uhoh]]
JoxAshwood: [[will close the flap and motion for Derickt to come closer]]
DM: The flap is closed.
DM: [[Shame that a tent flap doesn't really offer much protection]]
Derickt: [[Derickt probably isnt looking]]
JoxAshwood: [[If I can still, I'll return to my spot just outside the tent UL of ehere I am]]
DM: [[That works]]
JoxAshwood: [[can I do any more actions this turn?]]
Derickt: [[you can yell something]]
JoxAshwood: done
Taran: [[And Viktor and Falash'll just wave heh]]
DM: [[Yeah, that's about it, any free actions work, but no standard actions]]
JoxAshwood: [[I've had a pending plan... but it probably won't work Razz]]
Derickt: [[taran's turn?]]
Taran: [[yesh]]
Derickt: [[did you roll the d100 on Jox's turn?]]
JoxAshwood: [[ i dont think so]]
DM: [[[...nope, already forgot]]
DM rolls d100: [84] = 84
Derickt: [[bollocks]]
DM: [[and now for Taran's turn...]]
Taran: [[go ahead and roll for mine]]
DM rolls d100: [58] = 58
Suntoer: [[sucks]]
Taran: [[getting warmer *rimshot*]]
JoxAshwood: [[stop using sparklers]]
JoxAshwood: [[our party of 7, which would have dominated this camp... is now 4 Razz]]
DM: [[At least you still have the beatstick]]
Taran steps out of the tent, stares at the LARGE tent which Jox happens to be near, mutters (Russian for Flame On!) and flings what has been known to be a fatal blast of flame at the tent
JoxAshwood: [[show 'em how ot set a fire!]]
Taran: [[should I bother with the attack roll?]]
DM: [[roll a d20... 3 or lower is a miss, you are aiming at the broad side of a barn, so to speak]]
JoxAshwood: [[those have been known to move without warning]]
Taran: [[an attack roll against a static object?]]
DM: [[Aim can go wild even against a static object]]
Taran rolls Produce Flame Ranged Touch (d20 + 3): [10 + 3] = 13
Derickt: [[a 1 or 2 hits Jox]]
Taran: [[10 on the roll then]]
Taran: [[ugh, I'm getting just the hint of lag]]
Taran rolls Produce Flame Damage (d6 + 1): [1 + 1] = 2
DM: [[I'm getting a lot of lag myself]]
Derickt: [[how can you tell theres lag?]]
JoxAshwood: [[stop the porn downloads Smile it helps]]
Taran: [[text isn't popping up as quick as it usually does]]
DM: The tent has caught fire.
Taran: [[Orseph just flies out to follow me]]
DM: [[The whole program is lagging for me, I'll be typing and text isn't appearing]]
JoxAshwood: [[I'm getting lag too]]
Suntoer: [[i'm not]]
Derickt: [[you all just suck then]]
Suntoer: [[oh wait... there's a little]]
Taran: [[ends both my characters' turns]]
DM: [[If it gets too horrible, we can always go back to the chatroom, but it seems bearable for now]]
JoxAshwood: [[I'm ok]]
Taran: [[yesh]]
Suntoer moves down a bit near jox
DM rolls d100: [62] = 62
Suntoer: [[guess i've done this turn]]
Derickt stabs his katar into the tent near him, then runs down and right, trying to tear a long hole in the tent
Derickt: [[if you get what im saying]]
You privately roll d20: [7] = 7
JoxAshwood: [[yeah, fire is too complicated Smile]]
Taran: [[shearing it]]
DM: You tear a 3 foot long line through the tent.
DM: [[er, wait... did you run around the whole tent?]]
Derickt: [[that was the intent]]
Taran shouts out to Derickt "You could just ask for some tindertwigs. They'd light better than that stick. And I think I'm working well as a firestarter"
DM: [[If so, that number will change... define a distance first]]
Derickt: [[from top left corner to bottom right]]
DM: [[ah, in that case...]]
DM: You tear a 15 foot long line through the tent.
Derickt: [[so im at the bottom left side then?
DM: [[I'm just pulling numbers out of my ass, it's far too late at night to calculate circumference and crap]]
Taran: [[I don't suppose the fire I started has begun spreading out yet eh?]]
DM: [[It'll spread soon enough]]
Taran: [[works for me]]
Derickt: [[well, theres a tear from the door to where i am now?]]
DM: [[Yes]]
Derickt looks back at the entrance to the large hut
Derickt: [[done]]
DM rolls d100: [98] = 98
DM: [[The wind must be picking up]]
Derickt: [[why couldnt you have picked the high 25%?]]
Taran: [[what direction is it blowing?]]
DM: The fire spreads about 3 feet along the tent
You privately roll d4: [1] = 1
DM: [[The wind is blowing north]]
DM: The short gnoll and the gnoll exit the tent.
DM: From within the tent, you can hear the sound of cloth hitting cloth.
DM: rather, cloth hitting canvas
Taran: [[pillowfight?]]
You privately roll d100: [34] = 34
JoxAshwood: [[rofl]]
JoxAshwood: [[I'll move back beside Sn and draw my dagger]]
JoxAshwood: [[Sun]]
Taran: [[Not taking an AoO?]]
DM: Through the holes already burnt in the tent, you can make out the large gnoll beating at the tent walls.
JoxAshwood: [[not a pillow fight then?]]
JoxAshwood: [[I have nothign drawn, unless yu want me to slap him]]
JoxAshwood: [[plus, fire]]
DM: [[Drawing your weapon is a free action now, you must've missed that session]]
JoxAshwood: [[moves slightly over]]
JoxAshwood: this is all I want to do... I definitely wasn't ready to fight next to a growing inferno
Taran: [[we should really invest in alchemist's fire]]
Derickt: [[indeed]]
Taran moves between the half-orc gnoll slayer and the rogue, sling drawn and flings ar stone at the medium build gnoll, aiming for his temple
Taran rolls Sling Attack (d20 + 3): [12 + 3] = 15
DM: [[Hmm, to mess with some home brew rules of Called Shot or not... nah, it's a hit]]
Taran: [[awesome]] Taran rolls Sling Damage (d3 + 1): [1 + 1] = 2
DM: The Gnoll is struck in the side of the head by the stone and begins to bleed slightly. He is also slightly dazed. [[read: takes some nonlethal damage from the temple hit.]]
Taran: [[Nonlethal damage as well? Lame]]
Taran: [[-as well, +instead]]
DM: [[Heh, you were right the first time, it's as well]]
Taran: [[ah buh, 2 lethal and 2 non?]]
DM: [[I said some already, didn't I? Razz ]]
Taran: regardless, Orseph will swoop over and behind the short gnoll and take a talon swipe
Taran: [[yeah ok]]
Taran rolls Orseph Attack (d20 + 5): [11 + 5] = 16
DM: [[A hit]]
Taran: [[I'd ask if that could qualify as a charge, but I already rolled and moved heh]]
Taran rolls Orseph Damage (d4 - 2): [2 - 2] = 0
Taran: [[1 point, joy]]
DM: [[Oh, I should note that Derickt recognizes the short gnoll, assuming he's looking in this direction]]
DM: [[Suntoer as well]]
Derickt: [[they all look the same to me]]
JoxAshwood: [[he better he get his name quick before I get a turn Smile]]
Taran: [[I'm done]]
Suntoer moves toward the dazed medium gnoll and attacks
Suntoer rolls Att (d20 + 1 + 4): [15 + 1 + 4] = 20
Suntoer rolls Dmg (2d4 + 6): [(1 + 4) + 6] = 11
Taran: [[Cleave will probably be a very wise feat investment for you my friend]]
Suntoer: [[yeah. fred said so]]
DM: [[Agreed, and all variations on cleave... The way he's rolling, he'll be able to cleave through whole armies in one turn]]
Taran: [[I'll have to sit down with you sometime on the finer points of bull rushing, overrunning, and such heh]]
Suntoer: [[sure]]
Derickt: [[done orcy?]]
Suntoer: [[yeah]]
Taran grins at the idea of bull rushing someone into the burning tent
DM: Suntoer slices into the Gnoll's chest, piercing its heart.
Suntoer: [[is it dead?]]
Suntoer: [[laggy]]
Taran: [[aggy laggy]]
JoxAshwood: [[laggy]]
JoxAshwood: [[just laggy]]
DM: [[When it stops lagging and lets me change the name, yes]]
Derickt: [[assuming the canvas I cut has dropped a little, im going to move back a bit and try to look inside]]
You privately roll d3: [2] = 2
DM rolls d100: [74] = 74
DM: Inside the tent, you can see a bedroll that appears occupied, and a gnoll skulking to the right side of the door.
Derickt casts magic missile on the small gnoll
Derickt rolls Magic Missile (d4 + 1): [4 + 1] = 5
Taran: [[That's the first time you've cast that right?]]
Derickt: [[yes]]
Taran hands out 24 oz bottles of Mountain Dew
DM: The gnoll takes a magical attack to the chest and appears winded by the blast.
Derickt: [[done]]
DM rolls d100: [6] = 6
Derickt: [[FINALLY]]
Taran: [[had to happen eventually]]
JoxAshwood: [[worst arsonist ever]]
Suntoer: [[huh-zah]]
DM: The middle tent finally catches fire.
Taran: [[you mean the one closest to the um...campfire?]]
DM: The large tent fire spreads.
DM: [[heh, already looking at the upper 3 alone, ignoring the one filled with dead gnolls in my own notes]]
DM: The large gnoll exits the tent and drops a burning sack.
Taran: [[umm, he's doing that prank wrong then]]
JoxAshwood: [[potatos!]]
DM: He draws a short sword and swings at Suntoer.
DM rolls d20 + 2: [13 + 2] = 15
Suntoer: [[it's 15... not sure hit or miss]]
DM: [[ah, attack roll equal to AC is always a hit]]
Suntoer: [[poop]]
DM rolls d6 + 2: [6 + 2] = 8
Taran: [[double poop]]
JoxAshwood: [[ouch]]
Suntoer: [[again with the maz hits on me?]]
Suntoer: [[max]]\
DM: The gnoll chops into Suntoer, landing a serious blow.
Taran: [[on the other hand you ARE a Barbarian, that's what that d12 is for]]
DM: The short gnoll turns, draws a dagger, and swipes at the hawk.
DM rolls d20 + 1: [18 + 1] = 19
Taran: [[fuck, at least it's not crit range]]
DM rolls d4: [1] = 1
Taran: [[whew]]
DM: The short gnoll manages to prick Orseph.
DM: The gnoll in the tent regains his breath and heads out of the tent.
DM: [[Gnolls are done]]
Derickt: [[i MMed the small gnoll next to the dead gnoll]]
DM: [[Oh... so indeed, didn't know that]]
JoxAshwood moves enough to see a sight line of the large gnoll and throws his dagger at it
JoxAshwood: [[has to rename the damn macro :/]]
Taran: [[heh]]
JoxAshwood: [[taps foot]]
JoxAshwood rolls Missile (d20 + 4 + 1): [1 + 4 + 1] = 6
JoxAshwood: Finally
DM: [[Waiting for what, exactly?]]
Derickt: [[ouch]]
JoxAshwood: [[the macro to work]]
DM: [[Ah, nm]]
JoxAshwood: [[lag isnt any friend whne trying either]]
DM: [[The lag is getting decidedly worse]]
Taran: [[yeah, the map froze for a sec while I was dragging it]]
Taran: [[3.5 seconds by my count, how fitting]]
DM: [[Crit fail, so, 1-10, you threw the dagger straight into the ground, 11-15, you hit Suntoer, 16-20, it flew into the fire]]
DM rolls d20: [12] = 12
JoxAshwood: [[i can miss with the dagger as long as I can move and throw again with my other stuff]]
Suntoer: [[oh hell no]]]
Derickt: [[lmao]]
Suntoer: [[this isn't my day]]
JoxAshwood: [[while aiming at a large gnoll?]]
Taran: [[firing into a melee is just a -4 penalty]]
Taran: [[then again, this is Fernin's game]]
JoxAshwood: [[you make it sound like i was aiming at Suntoer Razz]]
DM: [[You rolled a 1, Jox, that's a crit fail]]
JoxAshwood: [[its not my fault is he's big and clumsy like a human]]
Derickt: [[roll damage]]
JoxAshwood: [[oh sweet, yay me!]]
JoxAshwood rolls d4: [2] = 2
JoxAshwood: wait, wrong one
JoxAshwood rolls d3: [3] = 3
Taran: [[Oh, I saw the 1 and thought that was damage, nevermind]]
Suntoer: [[i hate you Sad]]
JoxAshwood: [[ground takes 3?]]
Taran: [[fn lag]]
Derickt: [[this is hilarious]]
DM: [[go back and read what I listed again, I said 10-15 was "You hit Suntoer", and I rolled a 12]]
JoxAshwood: [[ah! Killing the Earth will have to wait until another day]]
DM: Jox attempts to throw his dagger at the gnoll, but misses and hits the nearby Suntoer.
DM: [[Plus, Taran was right, for future reference, throwing or firing into melee is a -4 to your attack roll]]
Taran: [[best invest in Precise Shot for the future]]
JoxAshwood: [[that just cancels out the dex stuff then]]
Derickt: [[whos up?]]
Taran: [[me]]
Taran: [[...assuming GameTable lets me actually dictate my actions]]
Derickt tells you: did you switch over my MM damage?
DM: [[You may want to politely ask Suntoer for your dagger back... he's probably not too happy about having a dagger end up stuck in him]]
Rycona has joined the session
You tell Derickt: Yep
Taran: [[damn that's one late arrival]]
JoxAshwood: [[narcolepsy]]
JoxAshwood: [[like i said]]
DM: [[Ry's joining as a spectator]]
DM: [[It goes without saying that he'll be a better audience member than hacker]]
DM: [[Fight the lag monster, Taran!]]
Taran sees what one mangled combat round has done to the mighty gnoll slayer and lends a hand, literally, invoking his druidic magic [[my English-Russian translator's on the fritz]], placing his palm around the knife wound and muttering a chant.
Taran rolls Cure Light Wounds (d8 + 1): [2 + 1] = 3
Suntoer: [[eh.. it's something]]
Derickt: [[dont forget you have healing potions]]
Taran spends the rest of his time for the round heading back to the gnoll deathcamp NW of here and proceeding to loot the corpses
Taran: [[do I need to wait until next turn to actually loot?]]
Derickt: [[before the battle is even over?]]
JoxAshwood: [[he hasnt got all day]]
JoxAshwood: [[Taran has stuff to do]]
Taran: [[orseph still has his actions and I'm out of 1st level spells for the moment]]
DM: [[No, loot away this turn]]
Taran: [[sweet, I have enough land speed to cover both, what I get?]]
DM rolls d30: [8] = 8
DM: [[hm, meant for that to be a private roll, oh well]]

Taran: [[normal hit]]
Taran rolls Orseph Damage (d4 - 2): [1 - 2] = -1
Derickt: [[you healed it!!]]
DM: Both gnolls have a short sword and tattered leather armor, one gnoll has 8 gold coins on him, the other has 23.
JoxAshwood: [[get that bird back telling us it wants a cracker]]
Taran: [[nope, 1 damage]]
DM: Orseph continues to scratch away at the top of the short gnoll's skull.
Taran: ...and then moves into flanking position for Suntoer
Taran: [[er scratch that]]
Suntoer: [[that works?]]
DM: [[Already established that the hawk can't provide flanking bonus]]
Taran: he flies around the gnolls to rejoin Taran
Derickt: [[didnt the hawk take dmg?]]
JoxAshwood: [[1]]
Taran: [[if he moved between the Large gnoll he could]]
DM: [[I don't know the hawk's total HP, but I don't think 1 HP will hinder its flight any]]
Taran: [[done]]
Taran: [[A hawk has 8 hp]]
Suntoer roars loudly and enters rage mode
Suntoer: [[lasts 7 rounds]]
Suntoer lifts his blade high and swing it at the large gnoll with great force
Suntoer rolls Att (Rage) (d20 + 1 + 4 + 2): [2 + 1 + 4 + 2] = 9
Suntoer: [[fuck it]]
Taran: [[...maybe stikc to civilized battle?]]
DM: Suntoer is in too blind of a rage to swing accurately at the gnoll.
Derickt charges at the short gnoll
Derickt rolls Charge Attack (d20 + 3): [3 + 3] = 6
JoxAshwood: [[we suck tonight]]
Derickt: [[sweet shit]]
DM: Derickt rushes at the gnoll, swings, and... lands a pillow soft blow that doesn't leave a dent in the gnoll's armor.
Derickt: [[thats it for me]]
Taran: [[I dunno, I'm on fire]]
DM: The short gnoll stabs at Derickt with his dagger.
DM rolls d20 + 2: [20 + 2] = 22
Taran: [[for future reference, you can't make an attack with each weapon during a charge unless you have something like a pounce spell/feat in action]]
Suntoer: [[this is awful]]
DM: [[O.o]]
Taran: [[no, awful is scoring a hit with the crit]]
DM rolls d20: [9] = 9
Derickt: [[if it hits me for 8, im calling shenanigans]]
DM: [[normal hit, not confirmed]]
DM: [[Unless you somehow have 11 AC]]
Derickt: [[AC = 16 provided MAge Armor is still in effect]]
DM: [[Which I'm praying you don't]]
Taran: [[14 from charging]]
Derickt: [[16 from charging]]
DM rolls d4: [1] = 1
Suntoer: [[luckier than i am]]
DM: The short gnoll pokes Derickt in the leg with his dagger.
Taran: [[I haven't been hit once hehe]]
Suntoer crosses his fingers and hopes the large gnoll suddenly gets distracted
JoxAshwood: [[Orseph has]]
DM: The fire spreads.
Derickt: [[what about my fire?]]
Derickt: [[nvm]]
You privately roll d100: [7] = 7
Taran: [[one comment, maybe the dagger fell out of Suntoer's wound from when I healed it Fernin?]]
DM: [[Yeah, it did]]
JoxAshwood: [[oh yeah, yuo didnt bother to take it out]]
JoxAshwood: [['ll get it lter, if i rememebr to find it]]
You privately roll d100: [72] = 72
DM: [[low, the dead gnoll catches fire]]
Taran: [[any gnolls burning yet?]]
DM rolls d100: [10] = 10
DM: The dead gnoll has caught fire.
DM: The large gnoll steps back from the burning corpse.
DM: [[25% chance the gnoll steps into the larger fire]]
Taran: [[and into the burning campfire!!! :-X]]
DM rolls d100: [78] = 78
Taran: [[you didn't say which it was, upper or lower Razz]]
DM: [[If I say 25%, just assume lower Wink ]]
Taran: [[Since it is now 2 of the anno meridian (or whatever), anyone second to end the session after this combat round?]]
DM: The gnoll is smart enough to not step into the bonfire.
Derickt: [[I have no one to be]]
Derickt: [[er, nowhere]]
Suntoer: [[ditto]]
JoxAshwood: [[me either]]
DM: The third gnoll approaches Derickt and attacks with his bare claws.
DM rolls d20 + 1: [18 + 1] = 19
Taran: [[okay, but the lag is starting to ramp up it seems. At least to me]]
JoxAshwood: [[these are some damn quikc gnolls]]
Derickt: [[bullcrap!!]]
Suntoer: [[the dice are rigged]]
DM rolls d3: [2] = 2
JoxAshwood: [[at least yuo havent rolled a 1 yet Smile]]
Taran: [[unarmed strike provokes an AoO unless the gnoll has foan actual natural weapon]]
Suntoer: [[your 1 cost me hp]]
JoxAshwood: [[but you're not between 2 of them]]
DM: [[Works for me, take an AoO if you want it, Derickt]]
Derickt rolls Attack One-Handed (d20 + 1): [13 + 1] = 14
DM: [[Not a hit]]
Suntoer: [[Sad]]
DM: [[Gnolls are done]]
JoxAshwood draws 3 of his rocks and throws one at the Large gnoll from across the fire
JoxAshwood: [[if I hit any friends here it'll be a miracle..
JoxAshwood rolls Missile (d20 + 4 + 1): [12 + 4 + 1] = 17
JoxAshwood rolls Missile (d20 + 4 + 1): [3 + 4 + 1] = 8

JoxAshwood: [lag]]
DM: [[Er... using the first one, that's a hit]]
JoxAshwood: [[yeah, just the first... got caught in a Deja Vu Matrix moment]]
JoxAshwood tells you: how much do these rocks do?
DM: tell JoxAshwood We'll say 1d2
JoxAshwood rolls d2: [2] = 2
DM: The large gnoll yips as a rock bounces off of its muzzle.
JoxAshwood: [[can anymore more but 1 be thrown?]]
DM: [[You could throw one from each hand, but there'd be penalties involved]]
JoxAshwood: [[not ready for that yet then...done]]
Taran: [[how much of my turn would it take to raid just the cash from the bodies?]]
DM: [[1 standard action]]
Taran ganks the cash off the dead bodies, leaving the weapons and armor for the others and decides to check out the adjacent tent
Taran: I'm assuming the tent entrance is closed?
DM: Inside, you see a bedroll that seems occupied.
JoxAshwood: [[ring the buzzer]]
DM: This one was open.
Taran looks around from left to right, checking for anything of note LIKE GNOLLS ON THE SIDES
Taran rolls Spot (d20 + 6): [1 + 6] = 7
Suntoer: [[<_<]]
Derickt: [[curse these rolls]]
DM: You are able to make out a gnoll waiting to pounce
Taran: [[skills don't ciritical miss right?]]
DM: [[Nope]]
Suntoer: [[taran is so terrible at looking, his eyes fall right out of his sockets]]
Derickt: [[you somehow manage to render yourself blind]]
JoxAshwood: [[nice pouncing coatrack Taran]]
JoxAshwood: [[wonders if Oresph is going to raid the short swords Razz]]
Taran backs away a bit (5-foot step, being my only remaining movement) from the entrance.
Taran 's hawk Orseph flies to Taran's right side
Taran: [[thassa-end]]
Suntoer takes a step to the right and unleashes fury on the large gnoll

Derickt: [[very nice]]
Suntoer: [[perfection]]
Suntoer: [[serves him right]]
Taran: [[Karma good!!!]]
DM: Suntoer slices the gnoll from end to end, cutting across his chest.
DM: [[You know, I should probably remember the rules of the game... none of these gnolls have reached -10 hp, but they're all less than 0]]
Suntoer: [[done btw]]
JoxAshwood: [[even the one on fire?]]
DM: [[Correction, Gnoll Puklp reached -10]]
Derickt: [[i thought the -10 only applied to PCs]]
DM: [[Pulp*]]
Taran: [[Nah, NPCs can apply it to, but most DMs I know ignore that rule unless the game is combat-light or the person matters]]
DM: [[Rolling to stabilize all these gnolls would take too long anyway... there's pretty much no chance any of em'll make it]]
DM: [[I do believe Derickt is up]]
Derickt moves up a space
JoxAshwood: [[not when you've been cut in half or split like 2 of them Smile]]
Taran: [["Tis only a flesh wound!"]]
Derickt: [[er, nvm. didnt realize big gnoll was dead]]
Derickt casts forcewave
JoxAshwood: [[the raging guy took him down]]
Taran: [[actually right now you're flanked by the short guy and the unlabeled gnoll]
Derickt: [[does that affect my spellcasting?]]
Taran: [[Yeah, AoO in melee unless you're Casting Defensively]]
DM: [[You can take the 5 foot step north and cast freely from there]]

I apologize to anyone who may have actually enjoyed reading these logs... I entirely forgot to grab tonight's log. Only downside of using Game Table, once it's closed, the log is lost forever.

We picked up the battle where it was left off, Derickt headed for the burning tent where the screams were coming from.
Sathien went and cast a Create Water spell to douse the flames on the large tent.
Suntoer did a charge attack on the last remaining gnoll and pulverized it in one swipe.
The last remaining gnoll in the very much on fire tent died of burn wounds before the others even made it into the tent, as the tent door was one of the first things to catch flame, trapping the gnoll inside.
Derickt cut through the back of the tent, and found many burning sacks of stolen fruits, vegetables, and dried meats, along with shards of bottles and jugs, as well as an unconscious young boy.
He dragged the kid out of the burning tent, Taran revived him, Derickt carried the boy back to the village.
Taran, Suntoer, and Jox remained behind to loot the camp, but found little of value.
Jox couldn't even find the dagger he unintentionally flung at Suntoer
After a thorough search of the non-roasted tents, they also headed back for the village.
After the exp was divvied up, the session was ended.
Falash and Viktor both gained 300 exp, Jox and Suntoer gained 400 exp each, and Taran and Derickt both gained 500 exp. Falash and Viktor were not penalized for missing the last two sessions, but they were penalized for doing jack squat during the battle when they were actually present two weeks ago.

As the synopsis has gotten better responses than the massive logs, I'll be continuing to post them. ...And hopefully in a more timely manner, I completely forgot to post this last week.

A couple of people went shopping for new gear and equipment, while others went to the tavern for a pint (or a pitcher, in some cases).
Beau and Viktor both passed out in the tavern, everyone else spent the night at the inn.
In the morning, Viktor decided to attempt to wear the decapitated Gnoll head over his own in an attempt to scare the rest of the group, but it didn't work very well.
Derickt began work on creating a familiar for himself, while the rest of the crew went to talk to Teo Lenox to obtain their reward for removing the Gnoll problem and inquire about new work.
They received and split amongst themselves 500 gold, and were told that the only other assignment available in town was above their heads. In his words...

Teo Lenox: There is the matter of a group of... well, somethings, infesting the fields, but the higher ups have that labeled as a quest for more experienced teams. You're welcome to attempt it, but the Guild isn't responsible for any loss of limb or life.
Taran: I don't suppose you could at least describe the infestations?
Teo Lenox: I would if we could... People report seeing beasts in the fields, but they're gone before anyone can get a close look at them.

The group began contemplating whether to go to Albedus, to deal with a mad mage, or Heline, to deal with an orc infestation, and eventually settled on Heline.

One of these weeks, I won't have to be reminded to post the log...

They left Ceron, heading east away from the village, and eventually came to the foothills of the Ragnor Mountains.

Suntoer recalled that there were a number of safe paths through the mountains, carved by and for travellers and traders. They quickly found one of these paths to follow, rather than attempting to climb the mountains blindly.

They came to a fork in the path, one path leading northeast, the other continuing east. The path to the northeast seemed to incline steeply, so they opted to continue east.

A little ways further along the path, they encountered a cougar resting slightly off the path. Taran made an attempt to calm the beast with Wild Empathy, but only had middling luck. He didn't calm it, but he didn't anger it, either. They didn't fancy fighting it, so they took some dried meat from their trail rations and tossed it to the big cat, slipping by while it ate.

A short time later, the path took a sudden sharp turn towards the up. It extended roughly 20 up, at about a 75 degree angle to the horizontal. At the top of this short cliff was a stone gate, confirmed by Suntoer to be one of the walls of the village of Heline.

They discussed how best, and who best, to climb the cliff first, but before a decision was truly settled upon, Taran cast a Winged Watcher spell to turn himself into a raven, and flew to the top of the cliff with a rope in his talons. Making use of the rope, the rest of the party quickly made it to the top of the cliff in succession.

This week, not much was accomplished, but they're set to do... something next week.

They chatted with one of the guards, who was confused as to why they were using the city's rear entrance, but let them in anyway.

They went directly to the Guild establishment on reaching the city, where they met Evren Connell, the Guild representative for Heline. Evren informed them that some orcs had been sighted to the southeast of town, and said that the higher ups thought that they had come from the main orc city, far to the south of Heline, to establish a new orc village. As of yet, the orcs haven't caused any problems, but you can only expect trouble to come from a growing orc village so close to the city.

The group decided to start with a bit of diplomacy, and Evren gave them a Guild insignia inlaid with gold and silver to give to the folks at the City Hall of Heline. At first, the Council Member they met with was uninterested, but upon seeing the insignia, he quickly went to fetch a diplomat to aid them in speaking to the orcs. They met Tore Rudolf, and will be going out with him to find the orcs in the morning.

After a small amount of shopping, they headed to the Tavern, where Jox and Derickt told stories of their battles with the gnolls, and Taran offered his tattooing services to a rather intimidating dwarf. As night settled, they retired to the inn, where the session ended.

Despite Ghandi not being around this week, the group of three ventured forth with Tore to where the orcs were sighted, far to the southeast of Heline.

They travelled around two mountain peaks, choosing to follow the path around rather than climbing directly over the peaks. They met an orc in the forest, doing his best to de-forest the area. Tore talked with him, and the orc agreed to bring them to the person in charge.

The group talked with the leader of the orcs in the area, and learned that they were, in fact, there to build a new village in this area. The orc city was becoming overcrowded, and the forest in the area provided both lumber for the new village and a large, flat surface amidst the crags and peaks to build upon... Once the forest was cleared away, that is.

They convinced the orc leader to come with them and talk things over with the Heline city council, hoping that the council will allow the orc village to be built in that location. The journey back from the forest was uneventful, but it remains to be seen how the meeting with the council will go.

This week, LowEndLem joined us, as the Chaotic Good Human Cleric, Terramos Leyarn.

The group returned to Heline, arriving as dusk settled. Jox, having only just gotten up (after spending the day at the inn for not being at the last session), returned to the inn to go to sleep immediately. The rest of the group went to the tavern for a while, Taran attempting to sell his tattoos, Derickt telling stories to the bar dwellers. Sieryn, Derickt's cat, got into Fred's ale, and meandered around the tavern for a while, settling down on Suntoer, who didn't seem to mind the drunken kitty.

Terramos was drawn in by Derickt's stories, and Taran gave him a tattoo of Pelor's holy symbol, but he ended up botching it and giving him something that... slightly resembled the holy symbol. After a little bit of talking, Taran invited Terramos to join the group.

In the morning, Jox, Terramos, and Taran headed over to the Heline Guild headquarters, where Terramos was officially added to Team Twelve. Afterwards, the group headed over to the City Hall, where they met with the 8 council members, Tore, and the orc leader. They presented their case to the council, but the council leader was unconvinced of the orc's good intentions. He believed that the orcs were building a war outpost, as the main city was a few days' march away. Derickt managed to convince him that the orcs' intentions were not to attack the city, and proposed that the city should send workers to aid the orcs in the construction of their village. He said that the team would go as an escort to these workers, to ensure their safety.

The orc leader, however, was not as convinced as the city council. He agreed to allowing the workers into the new village, but he did not agree to letting the team join them. They reached a standstill at this point, unable to make any compromises. The orc was becoming increasingly unsettled, and Tore was becoming more nervous translating to him. Jox attempted to speak his mind, but no one paid him any mind. Terramos also offered a suggestion, and the orc seemed to calm down a little at it. The council leader gave the team one day to find a solution that the orc would agree to. A few ideas were tossed around, but nothing has been agreed upon yet.

I put off writing the summary for last week because frankly... it's a little weird. But, I have to put it up before this week's session happens...

This session, we got another new player, Neutral Bob, playing as Gato Grenbause, a Chaotic Good Human Ninja.

The group settled on a solution rather quickly, going with Taran's idea of disguising themselves as carpenter's apprentices and going along with the carpenters the city plans to send. Derickt informed the city council of this plan, and while he was doing this, Gato came into town, and joined up with the group. Terramos took him over to the guild house and got him signed up. The city council agreed to send over some carpenters to the inn that evening to help them work on some disguises, and Derickt left to wander around town, doing his best to impress the ladies of the city. He got lucky... with a half-orc.

Taran decided to spend the day offering his construction, leatherworking, and tattooing services to the townsfolk, getting a handful of orders for small pieces of furniture, a couple of pieces of clothing, and a trio of tattoos. The first two tattoos were uneventful, one person wanted a skull with a snake through the eyes on his right shoulder, another wanted a broadsword with the point ending on the back of his hand. The third, however... The third person wanted a picture of a pixie on a mushroom. I did a roll, if it ended high, it'd be a human female asking for it, however... it ended up low. Taran had to tattoo a half-orc male. When Taran asked where he wanted the tattoo... The half-orc responded by turning around, dropping his pants, and shoving his ass in Taran's face. Taran succeeded in his Fortitude save against nausea (rolling a perfect 20, even) and the tattoo was created.

Suntoer wandered around the town while all of this was happening, but never really said much about what, specifically, he was doing. I think he'd prefer going out and beating face to sitting around town...

Jox, Terramos, and Gato all spent the day in the tavern, where Terramos and Gato tried to get lucky with the local barmaids. They got luckier than they expected, attracting the attention of two half-orc girls. To stir the pot and make things more interesting, Jox got a couple more local half-orc girls to flirt with Terramos and Gato as well. They tried to escape the tavern and sneak off to the inn at the end of the night, but they were both found by the two half-orc girls in the middle of the night.

I was gonna put this up last Saturday, but I entirely forgot about it...

I also forgot to save the log at all, so I'm going on memory here, with help from some of the players.

In the morning, Terramos and Gato were... quite unhappy with what happened. Taran was able to figure out what had happened, and advised them to see a cleric and get themselves checked for... certain diseases. Being a cleric himself, Terramos opted to do it himself, and found that neither of them were left with any... unpleasant surprises from the previous night.

They geared up for the day ahead, and Taran chatted with one of the carpenters from the previous night. ...Or so he thought, this carpenter revealed himself to be Jaxon Navid, a Chaotic (Good or possibly Neutral, I forget) Human Rogue. Taran suggested that the group head out for Suntoer's house to drop off their excess gear.

...At this point, Sathien (Taran) had to leave the computer for a while, and despite my prodding the players, absolutely nothing happened until he returned. ...Which wass quite a while later, unfortunately.

After Taran returned, the group headed off for Suntoer's place. Jaxon followed along, and after scribbling some graffiti on Suntoer's house, then hastily wiping it off, offered his services as a lockpick/pickpocket/thief to the group. The group wasn't sure if they really needed his aid, but decided to give him a trial run. If he proves his worth on the mission to the new orc village, they'll keep him around.

After leaving behind any gear that would seem suspicious while in disguise, they headed off to City Hall to meet with the carpenters and begin the trek to the forest.

I would like to start off by pointing out that Derickt would never have sex with a half-orc, being the racist narcissist he is.

Next, the whole encounter with the orcs can be summed up by: we cut down trees and built huts for a week. Then we went back to Heline. That's really all there is to tell.

Now the group has headed south to the port town Albedus to deal with a Mad Mage that's been causing trouble. At the tavern, Taran ran into old acquaintances. One in the returning Viktor (Slayer) and a long-lost friend in Accipiter (SoldierHawk). The rest of the party, (Derickt, Suntoer, Jox, Terramos, and Fenuran), went to the guild hall, leaving the three to talk.

Shortly after arriving at the guild hall, Jox and Terramos left to go sleep... or somthing. Derickt, Suntoer and Fenuran gathered information from the guild leader, and from a guard who had an encounter with the mage. It was discovered that the mage came into the town on ship not long ago, and was animating objects that in turn had killed some townsfolk. Some guards cornered the mage in an alley at one point, but he had disappeared before they could apprehend him. They also learned that five guards had tried boarding the ship, but only two had returned, and were in the infirmary, not talking. The three went down to speak with these two guards. Derickt lifted the arm of one of them and let it fall back onto the cot. The soldier indignantly asked why he did this, then realized he wasn't supposed to be talking and bit his lip. Session ended before interrogation could begin.

Meanwhile, at the tavern, Viktor reveals that he is not rejoining the group, but is a messenger of sorts for some group that he cannot name. There was a lot of sideways talking from Viktor and questions from Taran and Piter, but nothing really concrete resolved. There's some weird Illuminaty type shit going on. If Viktor doesn't tag along, he gets tortured for eternity or something. If Taran or Piter tell the rest of the party anything about what's going on, everybody dies... or something. It was all very vague, and very intriguing.

Apparently I didn't update after the last session. That's ok, because most of it was retconned.

Anyhoo, Derickt got his feline familiar to start scratching at the soldier's chest and he talked faster than that micro machines guy. It was discovered that the soldiers were attacked by animated objects, and that this guy had been sodomized by a mop or something. He and Suntoer went back to tell the rest of the party what to expect.

The next morning they went to board the mage's ship. There was nothing to be seen on the main deck, but inside the captain's chambers, Derickt was able to see several magical items. When he and Fenuran stepped inside, these objects sprouted arms and legs and attacked the party.

Taran was first into action, using a magical command to warp a menacing chair and coatrack. Suntoer then entered the room and took a big swing into the magical bed with his falchion. None of the furniture had attacked yet. Derickt feline familiar, Sieryn, jumped onto a desk and hissed at a magicked mirror, (as cats are known to do), but got no reaction.

Then the objects came to life. The bed reared up and slammed into Suntoer, while the sheets tried to engulf him. The coatrack and chair attacked Taran. A fork, knife, and spoon whizzed by Derickt's head as the table they were on charged at him. A telescope next to the mirror retracted, then recoiled into Sieryn, shattering its lens.

Derickt ran up to the table and swept the telescope, the mirror, a candelabra and his cat onto the floor. Taran took a wild swing at the coatrack and table to no avail. Fenuran hit the coatrack with his sword, cracking it in half whereupon it fell to the floor and immediately lost its luster and aged several years. Suntoer took a wild swing and somehow missed the bed. Taran's pet cougar Layla leapt over Fenuran and his Dire Badger mount, tackling the table. Sieryn jumped on the bed and started attacking the pillow.

The objects pushed to the floor, and the dinnerware all got up and prepared to attack again. The chair attempted to hit Fenuran but failed. The table and pillow tried to shake off their felines to no avail. The bed reared up and slammed into Suntoer again.

Derickt move to the pile of objects on the floor and kicked at them, sending the telescope and candelabra crashing into the wall. Taran laid a heavy blow to the table. Fenuran destroyed the chair, and Suntoer dealt another massive blow to the bed. Layla scratched at the table and Sieryn at the pillow.

Their numbers dwindling, the furniture kept attacking. The bed missed Suntoer, and the mirror missed Derickt's legs with it's now broken glass. The table and pillow remained pinned. The dinnerware now flew straight at Fenuran, whizzing past his head and crashing into the wall.

Derickt decided on a different course of action, and moving to the opposite side of the desk the mirror et al were on, he overturned it onto the three objects obliterating them. Taran and Suntoer finished off the bed and the sheets in swift fashion and Fenuran attacked the table. The cats continued scratching.

The dinnerware got up again for a third assault, the table and pillow's struggles were weakening.

Not knowing exactly how to attack cutlery, Fenuran took a wild swing at them, and connected. Destroying the set. Suntoer cleaved the table in two, and Derickt stabbed the pillow to end the encounter. All the objects were now old and decayed.

Setting the desk back on its feet Fenuran decided to check the drawers, and set off a knock-out gas trap. The party lost consciousness.
