</i> RAM:<font color="#990000">:55

Ganti:<font color="#003200">:55 at :56. Ah well. It is Thursday, July 29th. The moon of Change is a Waining Half, The moon of Creation is a Waining Cresant, and the Moon of the Mind is a Waxing Gibbious. A Voilant Mistral is blowing from the east, but none of you can take advantage of that.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Now on to sports

</i> Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">*Violent?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Voilant is actually a French word, so maybe he did mean that.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">You are attempting to put Gonzoles to rest, or at least break him out of his self loathing. To do this... You're trying to track down and kill &quot;The Beast&quot; that has killed most of his crew. You have identified the culprit: A gibbering mouther. Having delved deep into the cave system the crew was hiding in, you have come to a fork in the road: Two paths, both leading down, split here. One leads down quite sharply, and the other leads down at a more gentel angle.

Railock:<font color="#000000">wauugh.

<font color="#0000ff">Drayco has connected.

</i> Ganti:<font color="#003200">And yes, Voilant is what I ment. I got it off a random weather generator.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( mistral, noun. 1) A strong cold north-west wind in southern France and the Mediterranean. ))

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( so no, you cannot have a voilant mistral coming in from the east :V ))

* Meany fish-slaps Arc.

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( Oh hush. ))

Meany:<font color="#660033">DON'T YOU EVER BRING LOGIC INTO THIS GAME AGAIN!

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, comrades, which way is the beast? Down, or up? I for one think we should check the path leading up first, for it is always easier to fall back when you can run downhill, da?&quot;

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( if you mean wind, say WIND. I swear, give some people a thesaurus and they'll use the stupidest words... ))

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;...they both go down, Kaz.&quot;

* Kiera &#172;_&#172;

Meany:<font color="#660033">Damnit Rin.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Look what you did.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( gonna grab a drink, brb ))

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">&quot;Then the one that goes down less. easier to retreat up gentle slope, than one where only healer comrade has any hope of making speed, da?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Augh. Headache.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Gonna try to catch up.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well, a'body wha kens aboot this mad rocket bugger shuid tell us ken whaur it likes tae live.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I second Kas' notion.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Like, does it lik' tae bide doon or wey down?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Sorry. Trying and failing to help the dog up the stairs.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'm here now.

<font color="#0000ff">Drayco is disconnected.

</i> * Meany pats Lia.

* Meany gives tea.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( right, back. anyway, as I recall, the noise was coming from the lesser of the two slopes, and we were going to set the trap about where Alth is standing now. aaaanyway. ))

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">&quot;Or, perhaps comrade ghosty capitan can help us, by scouting ahead, when most assuredly it cannot touch him, da?&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner rolls her eyes. &quot;I can manage just fine on steep hills, thank you. But the point stands, if this is gonna be our ambush point, we should check down this passageway --&quot; She points to the southern one. &quot;-- just to make sure nobody's coming up on us from behind.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;The burbler's not moving, it can wait a while. Let's go.&quot;

<font color="#0000ff">Drayco has connected.

</i> <font color="#0000ff">Drayco is disconnected.

</i> * Gonzalez looks at Alth. &quot;... I do not know. I have never been this far. The beast... it generally came to us. We were more interested in finding ways to keep it away from us then in tracking it down and offering it easy meals.&quot;

<font color="#0000ff">Drayco has connected.

</i> Drayco:<font color="#330099">Holy fucking crap... WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS GODDAMN THING?!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Please pardon, I'm not IC yet and being distracted. Ow. I will never be a night shift worker.

Kasnok Strautraugvuras whispers: kaz was meaning that as you can fly, your the only one who would have any speed up the steep hill

Drayco:<font color="#330099">Try to load up the cave map and I get barraged to hell by errors!

RAM:<font color="#990000">&gt;: * Meany proclaims that Liatai is a firebender.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Blair? Whilst the other two are scouting ahead, let's get those charges set up.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660033">Rising with the dawn.

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">check your java?

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( make sure you're using java 6 not 7, mm. ))

Meany:<font color="#660033">Java 6 is what you need.

Drayco:<font color="#330099">Auto-update won't connect with its certificate.

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">&quot;Must we scout down unkown passages, comrades? there could be things far worse than the beast wereafter down passages it dare not tread.&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">Had that exact same issue. You can't use java 7.

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">don't auto update if your gonna use maptools

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">have to go and manually get java 6, then tell it to use java 6 and not 7

<font color="#0000ff">Railock is disconnected.

</i> Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">Good luck dealing with java. I've spent WAY too much time fixing that crap.

Drayco:<font color="#330099">Told it to disable java 1.7, so...

Drayco:<font color="#330099">Fuck it, I'll just sit on the airship map.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Aaaaagh. Frack. I'm gonna go AFK for a moment. Need to hunt down some Advil.

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">&quot; Reit, lets see haur... remote detonated charges...&quot; Lord she's got a lot of pouches.

<font color="#0000ff">Railock has connected.

</i> Meany:<font color="#660033">:16

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Elves: secretly descended from kangaroos.

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( :16 at :15 ))

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( :16 at :16 ))

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( Not :15 ))

Railock:<font color="#000000">last line I saw was Drayco: Auto-update won't connect with its certificate.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">Alth sighs, flexes his wrist.. and then picks his teeth with the blade that pops out.

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">&quot;Must we scout down unkown passages, comrades? there could be things far worse than the beast wereafter down passages it dare not tread.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Pssht, more like it's too stupid and lazy to go look for itself.&quot;

* Blair Mac Cionaodha eventually pulls out a buch of small boxes... then stops. &quot;Ur we tryin' tae kill thes hin', ur collapse a cae oan top ay it?&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ugh. Never again with Coca-Cola. I always feel like crap the next day.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">He stuffs the blade back, and looks back at the group. &quot;I say we juist pick yin 'n' go.&quot;

Alth: <font color="#9933ff">(( what did liasilly do? ))

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;If we can kill it by collapsing the cave on top of it, that works just fine. As long as we don't get trapped down here.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just kill it. We collapse the tunnel, and we won't be able to do what we came through the skyrift to do in the first place. And that's explore.

Drayco:<font color="#330099">I'd say that she can't process caffeine very well...

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Went to a midnight movie premiere and drank Cherry Coke. The caffeine withdrawal headache is messing with my nerves and mood.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I micht be losing mah mynd bit ah think th' short yin is right!&quot;

Drayco:<font color="#330099">Seriously? From one Coke?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Movie-sized Coke.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">And yes. I'm aware my caffeine tolerance is laughable. =w=#

Drayco:<font color="#330099">Wow... Don't try drinking anything with alchohol.

RAM:<font color="#990000">x3

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">dafuq does booze have to do with caffaine? For all you know, she could drink me under the table.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">But right now I feel like my head's being squeezed, so I ask that you keep the laughter to a dull roar, mmkay? Owww. Mom's TV shows were too loud for the headache to handle... =w=; *brick'd*

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">&quot;Just note this comrade. there isn't much food for it to eat. so anything still alive down here left, is something that the beast could not handle, and is most probably, overpowered by. So explore if you must, but be careful of danger. da?&quot;

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;I would like to be able to see it's corpse, not just watch it get burried in yet another cave it. It survived the last one, after all.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Aww, poor Lia.

* RAM offers asprinz.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh fur mah lugs, we're starting tae git intae clashmaclavers 'n' assumptions! Let's gang already!&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;The sooner you get done scouting, the sooner we can spring our little trap. Go on, get to it.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right. Come on. Let's just get a quick look down this passage, then, and make sure nothing's laying in wait.&quot;

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">&quot; Reit. directional short-range incendiaries, nae sonic devastators.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">Sneakidy sneak sneak sneaky!

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">She puts away the boxes and pulls out a bunch of... other boxes. Crimson ones, this time.

<font color="#0000ff">Drayco is disconnected.

</i> Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well, weel, whit dae we huv here?&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner peeks down the tunnel. &#171; &#160;1d20+13 = 15 + 13 = 28&#160;  &#187; lowlight Spot, &#171;  &#160;1d20+15 = 18 + 15 = 33&#160;  &#187; Listen check...

Blair Mac Cionaodha whispers: You don't hear anything, but you see a really twisty tunnel.

<font color="#0000ff">Drayco has connected.

</i> Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot; Looks like a really twisty tunnel. Goes deep. &quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot; We should probably check it out later. But I don't hear anything.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660033">Sorry.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Great Grandpa had a grievance.

* Blair Mac Cionaodha busies herself with setting up the incindiaries.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Imma run and grab some dinner real quick. Be back in 20.

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( Gang? Pokeypokey. ))

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Right, let's back up.&quot;

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( waitin' for da scoots ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">This scoot needs to go AFK for a bit.

Alth: <font color="#9933ff">(( ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL~ ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Be back in a few. Need to relocate.

Meany:<font color="#660033">I have fish food.

Meany:<font color="#660033">By which I mean a fish sandwich the size of my face.

Meany:<font color="#660033">ILLINOIS.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Changing settings on a game.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Not distracting self.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Nothing to be alarmed about.

Meany:<font color="#660033">And done.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">What are we waiting on?

Meany:<font color="#660033">Liatai to return.

Drayco:<font color="#330099">TPK.

Roland:<font color="#006666">24

Knowledge(Dungeoneering) check!

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Look, I'm sorry, I'm going as fast as I can.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Not you fault Lia.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Opening up a room in the house means moving at least one or two heaters.

Meany:<font color="#660033">It's okay.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I think I'm back, though. As long as the cat stays out of trouble.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Tall order there, Lia.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right, here's what we've got. There's a twisty tunnel going deep into the island that way, but I can't hear anything, so I think we're good. Might be worthwhile to explore later.&quot;

* Kasnok Strautraugvuras locks the cat int he kitchen with alth

RAM:<font color="#990000">Alth wouldn't stand a chance.

* Kiera nods. &quot;Might well be. How're the charges coming along, Blair?&quot;

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">&quot;Directional incendiaries hae bin placed. noo if fowk woods gonnae-no standin' oan them, we coods finally gie thes shaw oan th' road.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">&quot;He's holding a THERMAL DETONATOR!&quot; D: Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Right. Now for the fun part.&quot;

* Gonzalez looks down. &quot;... Not like they're going to hurt me.&quot;

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">But he floats back a little anyway.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Allright, bonny sure th' bas is up north. Let's git going.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">...Crap, anyone know where I can find some different font codes that'll work in Maptools?

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right. Let's go.&quot; She starts forward... then looks back at Alth. &quot;... How're you going to get past the charges?&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Eh?&quot;

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">&quot;In case they aren't enough...if you aren't a front line fighter, back up further down the tunnel comrades. Let those of us who can keep it off you, da?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;When we come back running. I can fly over them, you can't.&quot;

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">&quot; I've got th' detonatur.&quot; She waves it around for emphasis. &quot;As lang as he doesnae end up tryin' tae engage th' damn hin' in hain tae hain Ah can bide until efter he's pest them tae sit them aff.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;....&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 11 + 2 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Int check, as she tries to parse that statement. &gt;:.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;No kinch thare! ah will be racing shorty 'ere tae git awa' frae it.&quot;

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( As long as the idiot doesn't attemt to fight the thing in hand-to-hand, I can set off the charges AFTER he's passed them. ))

Alth: <font color="#9933ff">(( I've got the detonator. As long as he doesn't end up trying to engage the damn thing in hand to hand I can wait untila fter he's past them to set them off. ))

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">((no promises)

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... All right. Then let's get going.&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner starts off -- then holds up a hand.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... I'm about to do something stupid.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Whot? &quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot; Alth? &quot;

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( famous last words _&gt; ))

RAM:<font color="#990000" face="scriptus">Test?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Nope, damn.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Aye? &quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot; .... &quot; Sigh. &quot; Can you hold onto my gear while I'm transformed. &quot; =w=;

RAM:<font color="#990000" face="segoescript">Test?

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">He blinks. And blinks again.

RAM:<font color="#990000" face="Segoescript">One more try...

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Lady, did ye skelp yer heid or something?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I know,&quot; she groans, &quot;but you're the only one here.&quot; =w=#

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Dot. Dot. Dot... A Review by Axeman13.))

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Allright, braw, braw, juist be quick aboot it!&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I could go back and give it to Kas, but that'd be leaving you to get into trouble by yourself.&quot;

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( I can see the font just fine RAM. ))

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">yes but you'd be sure to get it back that way

RAM:<font color="#990000">Really? It doesn't show for me.

Kasnok Strautraugvuras: <font color="#0">(( nor for me ))

Roland:<font color="#006666">((I'm not seeing anything different about his font.))

Alth: <font color="#9933ff">(( same ))

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( looked like a default font to me as well. if you installed it without restarting maptool, it won't display until you... well, restart maptool. :E ))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 8 + 5 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Control Shape check... &quot;Besides, if you don't give it back I can always sic Kas on you -- sch -- !&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+5 = 7 + 5 = 12&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Again!

RAM:<font color="#990000">No, I'm trying to get Segoe Script to show, but no luck.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Pah, ah juist think ye'r mad rocket fur daein' this. Howfur am ah suppose tae ken if ye'r in trouble?&quot;

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">but seriously, if it's not a common font everyone has, theres no point

RAM:<font color="#990000">It's a standard Windows font.

* Serafina Cloudrunner takes 20. =w=; &quot;You'll know. Listen for the squawking.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">... um... two cents on that.. I chose segoe script because it is -extremely- difficult to read. I hope you're not planning on using it often. |P

RAM:<font color="#990000">Really? I had no problem reading it.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">It's very wavy, yet very condensed.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( you are not everyone else XP ))

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200"><fontname fontname="First order">Test

RAM:<font color="#990000">I'm trying to find something fancy, and Segoe Script is the best I have. =3=

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">... Nope. Didn't work.

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">its not standard if only one person had it show up for them

RAM:<font color="#990000">It's the same one we've been using in Greedverse for The Voice.

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( I suddenly can't remember what the thing for fonts is. ))

Meany:<b><font color="#660033" face="Lucida Console">&quot;0&quot;

Tasher:<font color="#9933FF" face="Segoe Script">&quot;Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Eventually, with a clinking of chainmail, Sera shrinks, and an owl wrestles its way out of the mess.

Meany:<font color="#660033">It asks for a value of the words.

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">I saw that

RAM:<font color="#990000">Same. Maybe I'm just using the wrong coding?

Tasher:<font color="#9933FF" face="Segoe Script">&quot;Clearly, mortal, you are inferior.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ghost, shoot me the code for it?

* Ghostwish shoots RAM.

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">lol

Meany:<font color="#660033">I'm using Arc's formula.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">For what?

* Serafina Cloudrunner ruffles her feathers, then looks pointedly at the gear, then at Alth.

Meany:<font color="#660033">Fonting.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ah, there's the problem.

RAM:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Script">&quot;I wasn't putting a space between Segoe and Script.&quot;

* Alth carefully gathers up the gear, and then waits, crouched and patient.

Meany:<b><font color="#660033" face="Lucida Console">&quot;France.&quot;

</b>Meany:<font color="#660033">Got it.

* Kiera leans against the wall, waiting for the scouts to get done. :T

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">btw. this should of been done before we started. can we now get back to killing alth? I mean gibbering mouthers?

RAM:<font color="#990000" face="Script Regular">&quot;Anyone read this one?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Hmm, nope, that one's no good.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">I 'ERD DAT

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Come on gang. Focus. I want to get this island wrapped up so we can get RAM introduced.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+19+4 = 20 + 19 + 4 = 43&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Move Silently, &#171;  &#160;1d20+10+4 = 4 + 10 + 4 = 18&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Hide check... The owl glides forward, pushing off the cave wall as a perch.

RAM:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;This'll work for now.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#660033">Do you need a move silently check while flying?

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">you know, actually, segoe script isn't as bad as I remember.. maybe it was just adjusting to it.

RAM:<font color="#990000">And yes, sorry for the distraction. :B

* Serafina Cloudrunner peeks around the corner.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Continue, minions!

* Serafina Cloudrunner waves a wing toward Alth in a 'come on, follow me' fashion.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">-- and then holds up the wing in a definite 'STOP' gesture.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">Alth freezes, his gaze sweeping north.. and he nods.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">She's looking straight north... and I suppose the GM is typing narration.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">We're so dead.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">I'd say dibs on your stuff but I've already got it.

Gibbering Mouther:<font color="#003200">And you see it. Barely. It's a hidious brown ooze, with mouths and eyes sprouting and vanishing at random. You think you see a face that you recognize appear, but it dissapears as quickly as it appears. As soon as it notice you, it begins babbling in a million, high pitched voices.

Gibbering Mouther:<font color="#003200">You here a high pitched gibbering. It goes streight from your ears to your mind and does something unpleasant there. DC13 will save or be confused for &#171; &#160;1d2 = 2&#160; <font color="#003200">&#187; rounds.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 12 + 2 = 14&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; Will save! +2 against enchantments!

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">Sweet mother of luck.

Gibbering Mouther: <font color="#3200">(( Yes, it is. ))

Roland:<font color="#006666">Don't worry alth. I will make sure to bury you properly... by pitching you over the edge of the island.

Roland:<font color="#006666">))

* RAM once bypassed an entire encounter against a Gibbering Mouther and four Deathknights by one-shotting the Mouther. :B

Gibbering Mouther: <font color="#3200">(( Just barely out of range, but I just punched the macro so you knew it was starting to babble. ))

Gibbering Mouther:<font color="#003200">To say it surges forwards... would be a blatent lie. It's moving a bit faster then you thought was possible for an overgrown slime-mold, but it's still not terribly fast.

* Serafina Cloudrunner waves a wing toward Alth and the passage behind them, then takes flight, zipping around the entrance and making a ruckus to keep its attention!

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">So, initiative, or shall we simply narrate that an elf and owl make like two oddball bats out of hell and lure it back?

Gibbering Mouther:<font color="#003200">Just Narate.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">Sorry Sera-sweety, but your tail feathers just got yanked on as Alth grabs you and runs back with you!!

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Hoot! Hoot -- AWK! &gt;:O

Gibbering Mouther:<font color="#003200">It's definitly in persuit. Very slow persuit, but it's still following you.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oie! Oie! Tis coming!&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner continutes to raise a ruckus, struggling to get free of Alth's grip. &gt;:O

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Now quit owling aroond 'n' caw back intae a short person!&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Be canny, that thing stairted muttering 'n' daein' something richt strange.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">=v=;

Gibbering Mouther:<font color="#003200">After what seems like a small eternity, The beast finally rounds the corner!

Teeny Rin:<font color="#990000">I CHALLENGE YOU TO MORTAL KOMBAT! &gt;:O

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">HOO! HOO!

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Uglier than sin, ain't it?&quot;

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">As soon as the monster is in range, Blair pushes the button on the detonator! &#171; &#160;25d4 = 71&#160; <font color="#003200">&#187; in the cone. DC 15 reflex for half.

RAM:<font color="#990000">BOOYAH MUTHA FUCKA!

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">.....

Gibbering Mouther:<font color="#003200">&#171; &#160;1d20+4 = 5 + 4 = 9&#160; <font color="#003200">&#187;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ow.

Gibbering Mouther:<font color="#003200">For all that you've heard about how vile and hard to kill these things are, watching it BOIL AWAY in the blast makes it seem much less intimadating.

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Alllllright ladies and gentlemen. I hope you brought your tickets cause its time for the show you've all been waiting for. Alth eats the crispy mouther.))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">The force of the blast buffets the owl backward down the tunnel, straight into Roland. Ovo

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Wait.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Why am I in the back?

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">I didn't mobe.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">I.. I think it just got vaporized?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Because you're small and squishy.

* Kasnok Strautraugvuras just braces himself and barely rocks back on his heels

* Kiera whistles. Then wrinkles her nose a bit at the smell. Roasted mouther smells foul.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">I'm also a blaster right now, with spells with -limited range-.

Gibbering Mouther: <font color="#3200">(( Because you weren't moving yourself when everyone was told to move back. ))

RAM:<font color="#990000">You're still squishy.

RAM:<font color="#990000">You go in the back.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;You ken, efter seeing it in body, ah dinnae think a'm particularly keen oan trying tae sloch it.&quot;

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( When we did I was in the front. ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Good. Maybe you'll live longer.&quot;

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are you sure alth? I've seen people eat many things that are utterly disgusting to look at or smell. This could be the holy grail of alchaholics everywhere, snd you'd never know without trying, da?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 7 + 9 = 16&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Reflex save --

* Serafina Cloudrunner barely avoids getting tangled in the hem of Roland's cloak, but a very bedraggled-looking owl indeed waddles up to the party.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Right, mibbie, bit that thing hud mair een 'n' mooths 'n' wallies than it did flesh.&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner nudges Blair's boot.

* Blair Mac Cionaodha blinks. &quot; 'at... wisnae quite whit Ah expected. lest time Ah ran intae a body ay those it was much mair trooble. ay coorse, Ah didne hae time tae sit a trap fur it 'at time...&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner gives the elf an approving nod. =v= d

* Blair Mac Cionaodha pats the owl.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Oh, richt, A've git her stuff.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Going tae huv tae gie th' lassie some privacy.&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">&quot;... your giving it back? Its much too warm for the hells to freeze over.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Don't worry, tis ainlie fur a 'short' while.&quot; The elf says, and laughs.

* Serafina Cloudrunner huffs, then waddles a little farther down the tunnel to get out of the line of sight.

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( :29 lagcheck? ))

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">The elf promptly sets everything down.. but then holds up the journal, grinning with a mischievious glint in his eyes.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&gt;:|

* Kiera idly wonders exactly what's going through Gonzalez' (spectral) head right now, after his 'nemesis' got toastified so... overwhelmingly.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">The party hears a loud squawking and a buffeting of wings as an owl begins attacking Alth's boots. &gt;:E

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Business as usual.

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">It's kinda hard to read Gonzalez's expressions, but he seems VERY suprised.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Och! Och! Awlright! Awlright!&quot; He says, and drops it, but wait- did he already write something in it? That ninja.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Hoo. =w=

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">One transformation sequence later, a halfling reapproaches the party, flipping through her logbook irritably and mumbling.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">Hells he wrote a lot. How'd he do that? But it's all in elven.

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">probably all about the gloris of alchahol

<font color="#0000ff">Sharpshot4321 is disconnected.

</i> Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Right, so. That's that taken care of. What was next on our agenda? Anyone remember?&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner finally sighs, closes the book with a clop and a muttered resolution to do something unpleasant to that elf. &quot;Thank you, Blair.&quot; She then looks over at the wraith.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Sending an undead to final rest?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I admit I don't know how to make that sound...more politically correct.&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">but I can't use google &gt;.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right. But first... Captain Gonzalez?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">And be quick about it!

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;... Yes?&quot; He sounds fairly stunned.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Was that the only beast you knew of in these tunnels?&quot;

* RAM is getting antsy!

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">Alth does a quick search about. Any sign of treasure?

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;That was the only one, yes.&quot;

Gonzalez: <font color="#3200">(( Not where you're standing! ))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well then. Consider that maddening creature dealt with.&quot; The halfling stows her book. |3 &quot;Would you like to accompany us while we look through the rest of these caves, or have you understandably had enough of them?&quot;

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;... It would be my honor to acompany you, little priestess.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Let's gang fin' tis treasure!&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right, then. Your choice.&quot; She points north. &quot;There was a huge room where it was hiding up there. Let's get that one looked at first, then those twisty tunnels.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Awaaaay we go~!

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau trots behind the elf.

Ghostwish whispers: Never ever let me drink anything with cane sugar in it again. =3=

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Makes you wonder who dug such a place. This cavern's big enough to be an airship hangar.&quot;

* Kasnok Strautraugvuras keeps to serafina's side

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Perhaps it was such a hangar.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Aye. Stowed wee freak?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;And the mouther killed the crew before it could be used?&quot;

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">any reason I'm suddenly back in the back again?

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">Which one?

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Rubber band'd.

Roland:<font color="#006666">same ^

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Because you're slow, fatty! Next time, try a salad! &gt;:|

RAM:<font color="#990000">You're slow.

* Kiera looks around. &quot;Yeah, this doesn't look natural at all...&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;The edges of the cavern are so... square, too. This can't be a natural formation.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">GOOD JOB THERE MUMBLES

Roland:<font color="#006666">I was behind kiera, then suddenly was yanked back to the npcs

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I dae nae lik' this steid. It's sae... Unnatural.&quot;

Liatai:<font color="#000000">I'd think Dungeoneering might help, too, but that's just me.

Roland:<font color="#006666">I'm always whispering ganti first on what I can and can't do with dungeoneering. It takes a bit.

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">&quot; Indeed it diz! probably wasnae th' moother, they tend mair towards creatin' tunnels...&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">gah, brb, bio, given Liatai drone-control of Alth

* Serafina Cloudrunner looks up. How high is the ceiling in this cavern?

Kiera:<font color="#003399">These walls, man. Perfectly smoothed? Rough-hewn? Etched by acid, cut with tools, or what?

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">They were chipped away by the hip-bones of unicorns.

Meany:<font color="#660033">*all of the bricks((

Roland:<font color="#006666">did you try a spot check? &gt;.

Roland:<font color="#006666">That face doesn't work when one of the eyes keeps vanishing ..

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">&quot; E'en if we dornt fin' anythin' else thes trip, thes aloyn is worth it!&quot; Blair gestures to the massive cavern.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">You can try x. baybe?

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Or &gt;.o, or &gt;.e

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( ... Not good. :53 lagcheck? ))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">That's actually a good question. What do the walls of the cave look like? Are they smooth? Rough? Brick? Mold-covered? Decorated, plain?

Roland:<font color="#006666">if this is where the mouther is...

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Was.

Roland:<font color="#006666">is it spot or search to try and find exposed mineral vains?

RAM:<font color="#990000">That means enough faffing about and get to the next island already! &gt;:O

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Search.

Roland:<font color="#006666">14

Roland:<font color="#006666">for dem minerals

RAM:<font color="#990000">General rule of thumb, if you're actively looking for something it's Search.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( Alth would never let us leave without finding the treasure. Even if that treasure is just mineral rights. XP ))

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yeah, you don't find anything.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Spot is more of a passive/reactionary thing.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">And suddenly I'm no longer lagging.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">back, but time to feed doug. :3

* Kiera stands there, deep in thought, looking at the reddish-hued vein... &quot;Oh, what did it start with... h? Hmm... hm! Hematite! Iron ore! Blair!&quot;

* Blair Mac Cionaodha looks over at Kiera &quot;Aye?&quot;

* Ghostwish is going to go throw a salad together for dinner. semi-afk, will pop in to check from time to time

* Kiera waves her over, gesturing to the reddish stain.

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Gm lagging again or we waiting on something?))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;But carbon is in everything.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;How do you find carbon just by itself?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Coal.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau checks around the walls for such a source of carbon/coal.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Not like any mine I've ever seen. And sure, gold isn't worth a whole lot by itself, but throw on a couple of gemstones and rich folk go crazy for a nice bit of jewelry, eh?&quot;

* Ghostwish munches on salad.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Smelt it into GP. :B

Roland:<font color="#006666">&quot;Not like it matters. Everything we find here is just a larger share when we sell the mineral rights.&quot;

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">&quot; Mebbe. it's unusual tae see mair 'en a body type ay metal thes close together unless a body ay them is aluminum.&quot;

Blair Mac Cionaodha:<font color="#003200">&quot; That's only foond in compoonds. rarer 'en hens teeth, it is!&quot; Which isn't saying much. Especially not after that insane sorcerer created that fast breeding species of chicken that actually HAD teeth.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Then Blair figures out how to refine bauxite into aluminium and the value of it drops overnight. Nice job breaking it. Anyhoo, away we go!

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Come on, then, let's tell the captain.&quot;

Blair Mac Cionaodha: <font color="#3200">(( Going back to the ship, or going to explore the twisty tunnels? ))

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Did we pick up a ghost as a new crew member???))

* Elisavet Michelakos raises an eybrow at Gonzalez, but otherwise doesn't react. &quot;I assume you've finished exploring the island?&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">&quot;Not entirely. There was a path we did not explore and some evidence of intelligent design. There could be more down that way.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Is that so?&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Very well, what did you find?&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Blair's incendiary charges were more than enough to dispose of the creature. We found a large chamber, probably artificial in nature, and some ore veins. Then we came back before we did something stupid, like get lost in the lower tunnels.&quot;

* Roland humps at that last part.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( ew :T ))

Roland:<font color="#006666">don't think i spelled that right..

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Captain, may I introduce Captain Gonzalez of the crew that preceded us here.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Very well. It's enough that we can probably sell the map of the island for a good price. A few spots of interest, some fairly worthwhile mineral recources, and a decent idea of what sort of threats there are.&quot; She stops, then turns to Gonzalez. &quot;Pleased to meet you. I am Elisavet Michelakos, Captain of the Icarus.&quot;

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;Pleased to meet you as well. I... was not expecting those who rescued my crew to be of such renown.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Oh right.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Speaking of which, sir, whenever you're ready I can show you to your crew.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">We're the new minions.

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Flattery will get you in trouble.&quot;

Gonzalez:<font color="#003200">&quot;... That would be nice, little priestess.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;All right. I'll be outside. Come talk to me when you're ready.&quot;

Ganti:<font color="#003200">... Okay, as no-one seems to be willing to RP with the Elisavet, I guess we should get Gonzalez re-introduced to his crew and move on.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( sorry, exhausted over here :x ))

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">Iiiiii.. can't think of a thing.

* Serafina Cloudrunner knocks tn the medbay doors, then opens them for the wraith. .... Well, he's incorporeal, so it doesn't matter, but good to be polite.

* Gonzalez enters cautiously, looking around. &quot;Gomez! Fester! Wednesday! You're... All right?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Remember the cold feeling in the air when we went to that abandoned temple? The 'brood fever' the high priestess talked about? Cured by sunlight? THAT whole thing?&quot;

Ganti whispers: Empyrean Sky: A blessing from the Good Deities. Generaly employed when something is going wrong and needs to be fixed by force of arms. It grants a boost to all good-aligned characters. (+2 moral to attack and damage, +4 to skill checks.)

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ugh, I swear you guys would be dead ten times over already. Remember it this time!&quot; &gt;|

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;.... But THAT'S unusual. Look.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;A Dead Sun, but an Empyrean Sky.&quot; She points at the golden color of the heavens.

Roland:<font color="#006666">back

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's a sign from a benevolent deity... usually when something's going horribly wrong and it needs to be fixed by force of arms. It's supposed to grant power to those that uphold their cause.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;A short-list of things that can produce this effect?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Something I can look up?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Because I'm not sure if the DM gave this out, if you're Good-aligned, the Empyrean Sky grants you a +2 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls, and a +4 on skill checks.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau is furiously fliipping pages in his big book.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;What are you talking about?&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">&quot;Are you going to demand we fix every 'issue' we run across?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Shut it, Roland, this is big.&quot;

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">YES

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Let me rephrase, then.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Historically, -what- has produced these kinds of effects before? Is there a pattern?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Is it possible to research what specifically we're dealing with to know how to kill it?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;What effect are you talking about?&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">From up front: '''&quot;You know what else is going to be big? The impact crater we're going to make unless someone who actually knows how to fly this thing puts us down safely!&quot;'''

Ganti whispers: It's flying a flag with the symbol of Bran... and something else! Give me a knowledge (History) or Knowledge (Arcana)

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Well dinnae keek at me!&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">&quot;I have already crawled down one cave for you priestest. I am not Alth but I will not keep jumping off bridges for your concience.&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner throws up her hands. &quot;I don't know! I just know it's big and the gods are involved. Get ready!&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+4+4 = 20 + 4 + 4 = 28&#160;  &#187; Knowledge (arcana)

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau slowly looks up from the book.

RAM:<font color="#990000">...So, I gotta ask.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Dead Sun.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Why is Cthulhu still chilling in the ship? :B

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well then, Roland. Why are you here?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;What has produced it in the past, is there a pattern?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;You took this job to explore the skyrift. This is an island in the skyrift.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;So we're going anyway. Deal. Might as well do some good while we're there if we can.&quot;

Ganti whispers: It's an elite taskforce of some sort. Word has it they answer to SAMARA himself. Who is known to only answer to Bran. Whatever is happening is BIG. VERY BIG.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Um.&quot;

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Oh yes. And the island is mostly temple and you can feel a chill right through the walls of the ship. You don't want to go out there without some form of protection...

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;..... Besides, we're not alone.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Where're the hazmat suits?

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Also yes, I know that 'great evil being unbound', but what -specifically- did it?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Dragons? Demons?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Flumphs?&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Glooms!))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Look at that ship. Some kind of elite taskforce made it through here. One than answers to Samara himself.&quot; (DM help me out here.) &quot;And Samara answers straight to Bran.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I HAVE NO IDEA, WIZARD, I TOLD YOU!&quot; &gt;:E

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( Help you out with what? ))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Who the heck is Samara? ^^;;;;

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( Samara the Eternal? Samara the Archmage? Last surviving Archmage in existance? Legendary lich? ))

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;You don't need to shout. So. We have to go fight an evil we know nothing about, in terrain we know nothing about.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;This is not a good tactical situation.&quot;

* Roland mocking voice &quot;Its ok. We have to explore anyway.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Don't you mock me!&quot; &gt;:E &quot;Besides, aren't you two arcanists?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;When are you ever going to get the chance to talk to agents of the last living Archmage again in your lives?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Well, last existing archmage.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I'm sorry, who?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I'm from the jungle, we didn't get news on who is whom.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Eh, a'body studying that magic crap is plain crazy.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;SAMARA THE ETERNAL, idiot!&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I barely knew the major non-jungle gods when we met up.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;... Blair? Do you have any more information on what this 'Dead Sun' is?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;That's it.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;I'm not talking to you anymore Serafina Cloudrunner, until you decide to start acting like a civilized young woman.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;The hells is that!?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">I can't see anything. ^^;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Hooray for low-light vision?

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( I have darkvision. ))

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">Yup.

* Kiera readies her weapon of choice. Too late to back out now...

Broodspawn:<font color="#003200">These monstrosities looks like a mad artists rendition of an orc, if said artist had only the barest understanding of what a humanoid was supposed to be shaped like. This monstrosity is eight feet tall). Where it's arms should be, there are instead massive claws, as if someone had ripped the limbs off a praying mantis and stuck them on instead. It's maw, for there is no way that can be called a mouth, is unable to close all the way as it is filled with jagged fangs that remind you of broken obsidian. It's three eyes are glittering, multi-facited things. It's entire body is a strange azure that glitters when the light hits it. It appears to have been carved out of a single massive gemstone.

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Same, I see nothing and I have darkvision.))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;That's what you're fighting to not become, dumbasses.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Yeah weel ye best rammy solid lest ye become th' shortest demon thay have!&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Being sane and alive are all well and good, but you really need to work on your negotiation and people skills.&quot;

Human Necromancer:<font color="#003200">&quot;Forwards!&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner growls, but draws her pistol and follows the mechanical armor.

Human Necromancer:<font color="#003200">As soon as the two forces collide, the reasoning for Bran's forces become clear. The skelatal warriors are all but immune to the beings claws and bites. Said beings realize it quickly, and exhale a chokeing black mist... That does absolutly nothing. A sudden detonation of flame in the middle of the path disorents the broodspawn.

Human Necromancer:<font color="#003200">... Clearing a path to the temple. &quot;Go! Quickly! We'll hold them.&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner doesn't wait for the rest of the party. Off through the snow!

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Everyone here? In one piece?&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Ayup.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Nope. :B

* RAM notices a distinct lack of giant steamwork armor.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Or room for it to fit. :P

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( note size of mech vs size of corridor :B ))

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Kaz! Up front! Keep moving!&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+19 = 2 + 19 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Sera pricks up her pointy little ears, trying to detect anything over the clamor of battle...

Ganti:<font color="#003200">The once fine marble floor is covered in thick sheets of Ice, making it a little tricky to stand. This was, indeed, once a great temple. You can see ruins of it's former finery everywhere. Here a priceless tapestry reduced to little more then shreds. There a smashed statue. Over their ruins of a stained glass window.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Assholes. &gt;:E

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot; Open door ahead. &quot;

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">gotta go all.

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">Thanks for the show, thanks for inviting me Ganti, and see ya'll later

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Ta.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Where's th' mad rocket elf in th' armor?&quot;

Ganti:<font color="#003200">The temple is errily silent. You think they all rushed out to fight.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Probably out there fighting.&quot;

<font color="#0000ff"><i>Hyuuint is disconnected.

</i> Kiera:<font size="2" color="#003399">&quot;Corridor's too narrow. She's probably blocking the door to stop them coming back on us.&quot;

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( ...Railock? ))

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( You awake? ))

* Serafina Cloudrunner continues to pad along, holding her pistol ready.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">And it's not an open door. It's a SMASHED door. It was obviously once the doorway to the main alter and congregation room... But now it just leads to rubble.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( he's connected, but hasn't said anything in a long while :x ))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;There's another door ahead.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Two doors.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot; Whacha see? &quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Door down the hall.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Empty. There's another smashed door down this way -- lemme check the far door here.&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner peeks through the smashed part of the door... &#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 5 + 9 = 14&#160;  &#187; Spot check, add +8 if low light.

Ganti whispers: It... leeds to more icy temple. A large pile of frozen debries is more or less immedietly after the door. You don't think you could get past that...

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Debris. This passageway's blocked. So north we go.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Peekin' round the corner

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;More tapestries. C'mon.&quot;

Teeny Rin:<font color="#000000">wait for meeeee~

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Give me a spot check.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 4 + 9 = 13&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Add 8 if lowlight.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Don't forget the extra +4 if you're Good-aligned!

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">It was added into Sera's check, but just making sure.

Liatai:<font color="#000000">...... come to think of it...

Ganti whispers: One of those tapestries looks... almost intact! And you don't think you see as much ice around it as you do everywhere else.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( pretty sure that's only you that gets it XP ))

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Do we have any other Good-aligned folks -- XP

Roland:<font color="#006666">hmmm, nope

Kasnok Strautraugvuras:<font color="#000000">me

Roland:<font color="#006666">... really?

Aurixsauriv:<b><font color="#660033" face="Lucida Console">Ahem.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... That tapestry over there.. It looks almost intact.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Oh wow.

* Kiera nods. &quot;Aye.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Look at all the fucks I give.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">How they just rain from the sky.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">What bit you? :T

Liatai:<font color="#000000">:O I SEE A FOX

Liatai:<font color="#000000">Ow indeed &gt;.e

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( And no, you're not. CN. ))

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#660033">(( They get mad when I don't give a shit what they say about my health. ))

RAM:<font color="#990000">Hi ShadowCocoa!

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, now that everyone's close to the Tapestry, you can see that yes, there is dramatically less ice there, and the tapestry does look pretty intact.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Any hidden doors?

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( it's a trap-estry! :v ))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">And what does the tapestry depict, anyway?

Ganti whispers: Ayup! There's a secret door there.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Secret door.&quot; Sera pushes aside the tapestry a bit, fussing around behind it. &quot;Let's see if we can't -- Alth, you're good with locks and stuff, help me out here.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well that explains the melted ice...&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;...fancy. Someone wanted this place kept safe alright.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">The lizard is all up in that.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">The halfling's grip on her pistol tighterns, and she pads into the corridor.

* Roland relaxes a bit as the warm air washes over him

Ganti:<font color="#003200">The corridor beyond is warm and comfortable unlike the rest of the island. No ice coats the floor, and it's nice and bright. You think you're beginning to see what the temple was like back when it hadn't been taken over by the broodspawn.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">Any doors?

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;.... slow regeneration... and confinement...?&quot; Sera's brow wrinkles, and she approaches the statue.

???:<font color="#990000">The ECKSBAWXHUEG sword. I never got an answer, BTW. Anyone here with any knowledge of crafting materials?

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I just need to meditate a little.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Nope.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Awful talkative for a statue, aren't you -- *brick'd*

Roland:<font color="#006666">not unless GM lets me stretch dungeoneering a crap ton

Kiera:<font color="#003399">The only person who might know is busy fighting things out front.

Ganti whispers: Yes, they are magic. They're divine magic, preservation, maybe. Maybe healing. And the temple is to Fisala, the elven sun goddess.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Sera, I'm not sure we have fifteen minutes to play think-about-the-statue. Not with the fight going on outside.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fifteen minutes to prepare a spell, Kiera, not play think-about-the-statue.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;But you do have a point.&quot;

* Kiera is trying to put that as politely as possible. XP

???:<font color="#990000">Well, since this is my thing here, I'll let you stretch dungeoneering for ir. Make a roll!

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">I'm starting to think she's a misandthrope.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">*brick'd*

Roland:<font color="#006666">what really?

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">Good isn't always nice, bucko, you said it yourself.

???:<font color="#990000">Yes, really. Gonna roll, Roland?

Roland:<font color="#006666">22

Knowledge(Dungeoneering) check!

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Two people stating a similar opinion with two radicallly different responses does tend to get that reaction.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">:T

RAM:<font color="#990000">...Crap, who plays Roland? I need to whisper? ^^;

Roland:<font color="#006666">sharpshot4321

Roland:<font color="#006666">And I'm secretly Santa's elf

RAM:<font color="#990000">:05!

Roland:<font color="#006666">&quot;Soooo, Alth. You think you can sell this right?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Given this is a temple to Fisilia, and the warmth... I'm more inclined to think this is a sleeping guardian than a deep evil.&quot;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">sorry, got called afk

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">He nods, grimming.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Especially since there's a regeneration spell on the crystals. Why would Fisilians want to regenerate a deep evil?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Who is Fisilia again?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Maybe this evil had a legitimate medical condition?&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Maybe it's one of those ones that gets free if it dies, so they have to keep it alive to stop it from escaping?&quot;

Ganti:<font color="#003200">:05 at :06! Much better.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Elven goddess of the sun. Her clergy were the ones to stop the Broodspawn last time.&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">&quot;Or it might use negative energy, and is being injured constantly.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Did you people pay no attention to the High Priestess and Giles, honestly.&quot; Sera tch's.

* Serafina Cloudrunner inspects the sword. &#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 5 + 2 = 7&#160;  &#187; Int check, for untrained knowledge.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">AP &#171; &#160;1d6 = 1&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">-- D'oh, add 4. I forgot the sky.

??? whispers: Hmm, I'll give ya a bone.

??? whispers: The sword is crafted entirely out of Adamantium.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Adamantine...&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;No, not really. I'll be honest, he was forgetable, and I don't think I'd recognize him if I saw him again.&quot;

??? whispers: Yeah, that. Adamantine. Excuse my horrid spelling. :B

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't know, if I'm being told about mortal peril that's hot on my heels, I pay attention, but maybe that's just me.&quot; &gt;:\

???:<font color="#990000">Lia, make a Knowledge (Religion) check on the sword?

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... Well, loot or guardian, either way it's going to need to be moved.&quot; &#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 11 + 10 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187;

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">gyah back again catching up

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;There is always mortal peril in everything that is ever done.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;We can't take this whole crystal array with us.&quot;

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( 25, actually. You forgot the sky again. ))

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">No, I added the sky.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Worthless bloodeh' goddess..&quot;

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Oh, right!

* Ganti headdesks.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;It all blends together into the basic assumption of someone being out to kill you for some reason, so why would I remember it beyond that?&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">&quot;We take the sword, split it 6 ways?&quot;

??? whispers: Knowing the materials used to craft it, and seeing the engraving, you recognize it as being the legendary blade Ragilronyo, The Blade of the Fox, wielded long ago by a powerful servant of Fisala.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;This is not the time to be arguing about loot, guys.&quot; :I

* Serafina Cloudrunner growls, pushing upright. &quot;You people are impossible some --!!&quot; Clatter. Clink.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">WHATDIDYOUDO.

* Serafina Cloudrunner freezes, looking down at the blade... or where it used to be. She bumped the hilt with her knee when she stood up.

Roland:<font color="#006666">don't worry. its pretty hard to mess up that metal.

???:<font color="#990000">For a split second, nothing happens.

???:<font color="#990000">Suddenly, you are all blinded by a bright flash of light, eminating from the statue!

???:<font color="#990000">The light shines for a second, then fades.

Roland:<font color="#006666">I hope thats not a sunlight spell for sau's sake.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">ack, afk again

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Sau stares.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;That's some good shinee.&quot;

* Serafina Cloudrunner screeches, covering her eyes with her hands. Owl eyes and brightness! Ow!

???:<font color="#990000">Once you are all done blinking the spots from your eyes, you see that the statue...is no longer a statue.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">Never stopped looking.

???:<font color="#990000">Instead, you see a, azure-colored fox, five long tails swishing behind it, having a long, luxurious streeeeeeetch atop the pedestal.

* Kiera blinks, twice. Huh.

* Serafina Cloudrunner finishes rubbing her eyes, then blinks.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">And blinks again.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;..... Okay is that fox blue, is anyone else seeing this or have my eyes gone wonky. &quot;

???:<font color="#990000">It opens its maw to let out a drawn out yawn, shakes, and finally opens orange eyes, which settle on the party.

Roland:<font color="#006666">people people. lets focus on whats important here. What happened to the sword? *bricked*

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Hi.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Good to see you're not dead.&quot;

???:<font color="#990000">It sits, and cocks its head to the side. It is wearing what appears to be an armored breastplate, with coverings extending down its legs, and set in its forehead, directly over the third-eye chakra, is a brilliant orange diamond set in gold.

???:<font color="#990000">It blinks a few times, its gaze sweeping slowly over the assembled group.

???:<font color="#990000">Once it's looked over everyone...

???:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Hi!&quot; :D

???:<font color="#990000">Echoes in all of your minds.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">back

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">what the ever loving fuck XD

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;....... uh.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Hi?&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">The elf blinks, peering curiously, and then rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;I think ah kin aye sell it.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;...if you're quite done with your beauty sleep, we need to be leaving. About five minutes ago, to be precise-like.&quot;

Ganti whispers: Make a spotcheck.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;But it wilnae be as worth as much.&quot;

???:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;What are you all doing here?&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Are.... Are you this temple's guardian?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Abominations.&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">&quot;Dunno, that diamond on its forhead says otherwise.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 2 + 9 = 11&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Spot check, add 8 if low light.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Killing everyone.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#660033">&quot;Trying to kill them instead.&quot;

Ganti whispers: Nope. You see nothing.

???:<font color="#990000">The fox settles its gaze on Sera, its eyes screwing up slightly, as if its deep in thought.

???:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;...I dunno.&quot; :B

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 3 + 3 = 6&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; Spot

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;....Well then, who are you?&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">reply shall I try again? XD

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">oops

Kiera:<font color="#003399"><i>&quot;This is not the time for introductions and guessing games!&quot;

</i> Alth:<font color="#9933FF">YOU DID NOT SEE THAT

???:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;My name is Espada!&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE LOON BEHIND THE CURTAIN

???:<font color="#990000">Knowledge (Religion) Checks!

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Right -- uh -- Espada.&quot;

* Kiera pushes past Alth and heads back into the corridor to make sure nothing is coming this way. :T

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Listen, that sword that was near you -- uhm. It looks a lot like a legendary Fisilian blade. And we think the broodspawn outside want it.&quot;

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&#171; &#160;1d20+3 = 16 + 3 = 19&#160; <font color="#9933FF">&#187; Spot

Ganti whispers: One more spot check.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 12 + 9 = 21&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Add 8 if lowlight.

Espada:<font color="#990000">No knowledge checks?

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 4 + 10 = 14&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Knowledge

Ganti whispers: ... Guess who didn't all go outside~?

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( I'm a swashbuckler, not a priest, don't look at me for knowledge (religion) checks. XP ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">And you get nothing from her name. :B

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Spot check! &#171; &#160;1d20+1 = 11 + 1 = 12&#160; <font color="#003399">&#187;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Espada looks down to the blade, and her eyes light up.

<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;Ragilronyo!&quot; :D

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;-- Espada fox whatever listen we need to get that sword and get out of here, the broodspawn could be here any minute!&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">The fox hops down from the pedestal, takes the hilt in her mouth...

Roland:<font color="#006666">((Someone REALLY likes Sif.))

Espada:<font color="#990000">And lifts the massive blade like it weighs nothing.

Alth:<font color="#9933FF">&quot;Whot.&quot;

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;... what.&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399"><b><i>&quot;INCOMING!&quot;

</i></b> Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;...Wait, what did you say?&quot;

Ganti whispers: You get an attack on the broodspawn, by the way. That's what the spot was for.

Broodspawn 1:<font color="#003200">The thing swings at you with it's Claw! &#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 14 + 9 = 23&#160; <font color="#003200">&#187;.

Espada:<font color="#990000">The fox looks over to Sera, its appearance disbelieving.

Serafina Cloudrunner:<font color="#000000">&quot;Broodspawn!&quot; Sera begins a chant, and a nimbus of silver light appears around her.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Against FF, because you didn't make the spot and Sera didn't bother asking more after I told her she made the spot and certain things didn't go all the way outside.

* Kiera staggers backward. &quot;THAT'S WHAT I SAID!&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000" face="Segoe Print">&quot;...Broodspawn? In a Temple of Fisala?!&quot;

You whisper to Ganti: Surprise round action taken.

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( would've hit anyway, though hey, lowlight y'know. but whatever. :T ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">The fox's demeanor, which had been quite friendly before, turns positively murderous.

Ganti whispers: what spell was that?

You whisper to Ganti: Light of Lunia. She can't fire it until her next turn.

Ghostwish:<font color="#9933FF">A thing of beauty is a joy for ever: Its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness; but still will keep a bower quiet for us, and a sleep full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing. Therefore, on every morrow, are we wreathing a flowery band to bind us to the earth, spite of despondence, of the inhuman dearth of noble natures, of the gloomy days, of all the unhealthy and o'er-darkened ways made for our searching: yes, in spite of all, Some shape of beauty moves away the pall from our dark spirits. Such the sun, the moon, trees old and young, sprouting a shady boon for simple sheep; and such are daffodils with the green world they live in; and clear rills that for themselves a cooling covert make 'gainst the hot season; the mid forest brake, rich with a sprinkling of fair musk-rose blooms: And such too is the grandeur of the dooms we have imagined for the mighty dead; All lovely tales that we have heard or read: An endless fountain of immortal drink, pouring unto us from the heaven's brink.
