Drufle (GM)	So this is, uh, session 19. We're almost caught up to pathfinder 2.
H. Knight	will we end on session 20?!
Drufle (GM)	Lord no.
Horanoven A.	we've almost hit our 20th aniversery
Rose	yay
Drufle (GM)	At the very earliest, the ending would be session 21.
H. Knight	sure
Rose	cake
Drufle (GM)	More likely 23/24. So last time, lots of reasonably terrible things happened.
Horanoven A.	we're only level 9 *88 8 ffff
R�senfeld	level 88
Horanoven A.	yes
R�senfeld	that would be...
Horanoven A.	level 888 ...
R�senfeld	interesting
Horanoven A.	I cannot
Rose	were level 8?
Horanoven A.	deal with this 8 key right now
Drufle (GM)	Level 8, yeah.
Rose	my sheet still says 7
Drufle (GM)	You probably forgot to write your stuff down.
Horanoven A.	we need to finish 3 more adventures
Rose	nope. I got my health and my skills down
Horanoven A.	8, 9, and 10 no way we're doing that in only 2 sessions
Drufle (GM)	Then you probably just forgot to tick it up to 8.
H. Knight	so all you need to do is tick-yeah
Rose	ah I'm looking at ansestory
Drufle (GM)	So, the party has reawakened on the Sunset Song after the Dreamscape Trials. After some brief recuperation, I assume you tell the others about what happened?
Horanoven A.	hmmm
H. Knight	would they believe us?
Drumun	that's actually a good question, do we tell the others
Rose	fuck it
Drumun	at the very least we should talk about the portal
R�senfeld	I don't think Rusenfeld is in much of a talky mood
Rose	tell them. I want to see their reactions
H. Knight	Seriously Guys, Roy Came To Me In A Dream And Told Me I Was Awful
R�senfeld	you guys can do what oyu want though you*
Drumun	If we're telling them, then Drumun will join you
R�senfeld	and in fact it's probably important that we do inform people that roy is mega evil and undead
Drufle (GM)	I feel like most of what you've learned should be told, but maybe not everything? It's really up to you guys.
Wari	we really should
Drumun	the whole New God is evil thing probably should be kept under wraps Wari no
Wari	that maybe
Drumun	you weren't there
Rose	what . like your faith is BS?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, that's the one thing you may want to keep quiet for now.
Wari	save that for later
Drumun	it would be a bad idea to start a panic also there is no way they'd believe us we might be able to tell the rest of our characters Thicket will be on board with just about anything we tell her H. Knight informs the other party members of what transpired, and also tells them to keep the religion thing under wraps
Rose	I don't know. lets show them how destroyed our faith guy is
Drufle (GM)	Rose makes a good point, actually.
Wari	"Well shit. Never did trust that girlie."
Drufle (GM)	With how broken Ruse is, it might be hard to keep the New God a secret.
Drumun	I can tell you right now, forcing them to question their religion, especially now, would be disasterous
Drufle (GM)	Do you tell Yvonne?
Drumun	not everyone is as tough as Russ
Rose	yes
Wari	how religious is she
Drufle (GM)	Not particularly.
Rose	i love gossip
Wari	then yeah
Drumun	someone get Rose under control she's threatening the mission
Rose	she can help ruse too
Drumun	you can't gossip to everybody
Drufle (GM)	I imagine most of the people you tell are incredulous, but will believe you because... well, you're you.
Drumun	but yeah Yvonne should know, since she is unlikely to break under that realization
R�senfeld	I think Rusenfeld's sullen silence is also pretty good evidence there's no way people will not notice that
Drumun	we need to be careful who we tell though
R�senfeld	he went from zeal to complete quiet
Rose	Guys if we don't tell the people on this ship, they are going to think were going mad anyway
Yvonne Lariel	"I had noticed some disturbances on your ship last night, but I dismissed them as normal ambulations... I'm sorry, I should've came and helped."
Rose	and maybe even throw us off as a bad omen
Drumun	if we don't say anything there's no way for them to know they won't think we're going mad if we don't act mad
Rose	look at rus
Drumun	he's gone quiet, that's all
Rose	hes never quiet ever period
Drumun	"Ah ain't sure what coulda been done, Yvonne...this was quite different from wut we expected"
H. Knight	"There Was Little You Could Have Done, Miss Lariel. The Enemy Attacked Us In Our Dreams"
Drumun	"We learned somethin at least"
Rose	we were all quite shook up and probably show it aswell
H. Knight	i don't
Drumun	no one is observant enough to notice, Rose
H. Knight	cuz I barely have a face ' 3'
Drumun	except Yvonne everyone else will not notice because we're IN AN OCEAN OF BLOOD
Rose	fine
R�senfeld	"...The sea of blood is caused by a portal letting all this evil energy in. The way to stop it is to kill the person who opened the portal. We should probably focus on that."
Rose	ill just go and shoot stuff from the side of the boat i'll keep quiet for now
Drumun	people acting like shit's gone wrong is normal right now
Yvonne Lariel	"Well, in any case, if what you say is true, we need more information. I don't want anyone leaping into that... liquid without some more research."
Drumun	"Aye, but they also said that it needs to be closed from tha opposite side"
Rose	i could go
Drumun	"We may need ta take them there first" "Wherever...there is"
H. Knight	"We're Not Opening A Portal To Hell On The Deck Of Any Of These Ships."
Yvonne Lariel	"But we don't know what the ocean is, or who the portal's creator was, or what to do about Roy!"
R�senfeld	"I think it's pretty obvious what we do about Roy."
H. Knight	".......indeed."
Rose	i may be abe to do something. but i cannot to it here
R�senfeld	"We fucking kill the bitch."
Drumun	"Send em with the rest of tha dead" H. Knight flinches at Rusenfeld's sudden outburst Rose has an idea
Yvonne Lariel	"But from what you said, it sounds like she's gotten incredibly powerful. Are you sure you can just waltz into what is apparently her domain and strke her down?"
Drumun	"it uhh....won't be easy"
R�senfeld	yeah, rusenfeld's pretty unhinged you won't get much logic from him for a while "Do we have much of a choice?"
Rose	yes. but only if its close to one of the fey kingdoms
H. Knight	oh no HK agrees with him
Drumun	"It ain't gonna feel good, but whatever happened ta Roy...she ain't her anymore"
H. Knight	he's just upset at your choice of words
Rose	i could use my royal status to call reinforcements
Drumun	there is probably nowhere to get reinforcements
Rose	from the other side
R�senfeld	yeah, i mean Rusenfeld was pretty attached to roy.. I guess he feels both betrayed and like he failed that's why so much anger
Drumun	I do not think there are any entrances to the fae realm out here
Yvonne Lariel	"Listen, the group of you can go to the Blood Sea if you want, but I'm going back to Caecras."
H. Knight	"Would Any Of The Elven Houses Still Recognise You As Legitimate"?
R�senfeld	"What are you going to do?"
Rose	its on my back
Yvonne Lariel	"Well there's one place I know survived the ocean, and it also just so happens to be the largest repository of knowledge and magic on the planet."
H. Knight	"The Tower..>"
Rose	YAY
Drumun	"The tower?"
Rose	nope
R�senfeld	what tower? oh wait
Drumun	the magic tower
Rose	i bet its the school
R�senfeld	the ruins?
Drumun	no
Yvonne Lariel	"If anyone would know what's going on and how to deal with it, it'd have to be the Tower Arcane."
Drumun	the floating magic tower that teaches magic
R�senfeld	oh
Rose	oh
R�senfeld	see you guys read more than me
Drumun	its been discussed before
H. Knight	druf literally mentioned it last sesh
Drufle (GM)	I'm relatively certain I mentioned it before, yeah.
Rose	i wanted it to be thickets place
R�senfeld	oh
Drumun	Thickets place is probably gone
R�senfeld	see you guys notice more than me
Rose	grrr
R�senfeld	:P
Drumun	"Don't that tower...fly?"
Drufle (GM)	If not gone, it's certainly under the ocean.
H. Knight	we said she set it up aboard one of the boats
Drumun	"How're we gonna get up there?"
H. Knight	everything's fine all the books and stuff are here
Drumun	well yes, Thicket saved what she could
Yvonne Lariel	"Well, we just have to hail them with an appropriate signal. Like... a fireball?"
R�senfeld	"They have an entire tower floating in the air, they probably are able to float platforms up there too." Thicket perks up
H. Knight	"It Is Worth A Shot. But How Do We Return? On Drumun's Vessel?"
Yvonne Lariel	"We can't very well bring the entire fleet with us, can we... Yes, that might be best."
Drumun	"Ah feel bad leavin the boats unguarded"
H. Knight	"They Will Not Be Unguarded"
R�senfeld	".. All of you are already talking like that's what we're gonna do. What about the portal? What about everything here? What about Roy??"
H. Knight	"Did You Honestly Forget About The Rest Of The Guild?"
Rose	we will leave the rest of the guild here to look after them
Wari	"Hell yeah!" "I'm still fuckin' here ya dope."
Drumun	"We can't get to tha bottom of the sea, Russ!"
R�senfeld	"So we're just gonna put it all on hold instead of going to find out how to do it! To go read some books!"
Drumun	"An sorry, ah'm just feeling paranoid"
R�senfeld	"... Fine, whatever. Do what you want."
H. Knight	"We Cannot Continue As We Are, Rusenfeld. We Need To Explore Other Avenues Of Enquiry."
Drumun	"We only git one shot at this, we cannot afford ta miss it on our first go" "Whatever Roy wants, ah think she'll want us ta actually reach her" R�senfeld just scoffs and looks at his now-vacant wrist
Drumun	"She seemed...really keen on see us fight somethin, if not here" *her and drop the *see
H. Knight	dropped his watch. eh
R�senfeld	his infinite snake bracelet actualy
Drumun	HK yeah that
R�senfeld	he needs a new symbol
Drumun	this was an item of importance
Rose	ive got a globe with myst in it if you want that?
R�senfeld	"...This had better lead to some useful news soon. I'm not waiting any longer than I have to before I go and find that devil and END this mockery."
Yvonne Lariel	"Alright, I'll inform the captain that we're heading out and reversing direction. It might take some convincing, but we'll be setting off as soon as possible."
Drumun	"Russ, breath" "Come with me, now, you're taking a meditation break" Rose offers rus her glass globe filled with mist
R�senfeld	what even is that? I don't remember it
Drufle (GM)	It's one of her interesting things.
Rose	its mine, but you can have it
R�senfeld	lol.. my interesting things are.. interesting i have yet to find an opportunity to use or show them
Drumun	mine are mostly straight forward two of them are passive
H. Knight	w/ gm hi ok so that doesn't work here good to know
(From R�senfeld)	hi
Drufle (GM)	It
R�senfeld	it doe does*
Drufle (GM)	It's /w, HK. Not w/.
H. Knight	I'm SURE it's the other way around in pathfinder
Drufle (GM)	Nope.
H. Knight	huh
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, off we go, back to the east.
H. Knight	can you find the wind waker sailing theme in g major that'd work
R�senfeld	how long is the journey?
Drufle (GM)	Just about a week east, at most.
R�senfeld	do we still have Roy's magic light dagger?
Drufle (GM)	Oh, yeah. I mean, I imagine you'd have any of her material possessions, unless you decided to bury them with her.
Rose	do i have plenty, plenty of thickets arrows. i want to stuff my quiver and bag full of them
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, you can get a good pile of magic arrows.
Drumun	level 10 is going to be...interesting
R�senfeld	was thinking it'd be cool if ruse got obsessed with that item, and then maybe instead of direct faith-to-magic conversion her his ghost helped him perform magic
Rose	oh good. it may be a while before my forest recovers from the flood
R�senfeld	ofc I'd need to somehow carry teh dagger adn still be able to use the crossbow. not sure how to do that
H. Knight	bayonet
Drufle (GM)	Pfffft.
R�senfeld	that's so wild, i love it
Drufle (GM)	I mean, if it acts as your holy symbol, you just need to have it on you somewhere. Not necessarily in your hand.
Rose	yep. strap the dagger to the front of the crossbow under the firing point
H. Knight	yeah true
R�senfeld	but.. but.. bayonet!
Drumun	orcish crossbow style
Drufle (GM)	Bayonet is an option, sure.
H. Knight	hey it's still "on you" I'd imagine
Drufle (GM)	Magic shiny dagger.
Rose	yep
R�senfeld	it can still have the damage the bow would have as a melee weapon, i don't mind crossbow*
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, does the party want to do anything particularly interesting in the weekish trip?
Drumun	Russ Meditate with me You're being Grump
R�senfeld	lol.. I'd say 'pray' but I guess not? yeah i'll meditate with drumun
Rose	practice my archery
R�senfeld	give ruse a chance to cry over his faith some more and develop his obsession with the dagger Drumun basically drags Russ over to his mediation rug
Drumun	"Ye need a moment ta breath"
R�senfeld	"..Fine, whatever." R�senfeld is non-committal
Drumun	"Sit" Rose starts shoting the smallest of items found around the boat from quite a range
R�senfeld	woof
Drumun	"Close yer eyes" R�senfeld closes his eyes and sees Roy's evil face, glowing eyes and everything H. Knight just sits back and Worries R�senfeld gasps and opens them again
Drumun	"Ah want ye ta follow this rhythm, 3 seconds to breath in, hold fer 3 seconds, then breath out fer 3 seconds" "An keep yer eyes closed" R�senfeld does his best to comply
Drumun	"Focus on tha breathin"
R�senfeld	the spirit hauntig me will probably make some noise, just so you're aware it's not fun it's like poltergeist Rose starts following the instructions whilst shooting. with her eyes open
Drumun	we're acquainted with your spirit already its fine
R�senfeld	no i mean it's hard to meditate if things are flying around the room or boat
Drumun	that's part of the challenge
R�senfeld	i guess does anything special happen from this meditation?
Rose	"it will be good target practice for me"
Drumun	its meant to help you relax
R�senfeld	i mean other than that relaxing isn't interesting gameplay :P
Drumun	you don't have Mystic, so I don't think it does anything mechanical
Drufle (GM)	Yeah. We can say you heal 1 insanity.
H. Knight	this is just Roleplaying
Rose	we have 1 week of rp lol
H. Knight	actually
R�senfeld	roleplaying isn't just acting though it's like.. simulating the cause and effect of things i don't mind if nothing happens
H. Knight	just thought of something Rose puts an apple on HKs head
R�senfeld	i just want to know is all
Drumun	I think you gaining some sanity would help
H. Knight	Drumun is it canon that your boat is this iron craft ? H. Knight doesn't notice the apple
Drumun	you are probably the closest to losing it out of all of us
Drufle (GM)	Oh, hm. I think Rose is fine. Rose starts to walk backwards
Drumun	oh its got wood flooring
H. Knight	I was going to ask next if she was wearing shoes now
R�senfeld	if you want to give me a free 1 sanity, i'll take it :P
H. Knight	I think the bull armor came with shoes
Drumun	take the sanity
Drufle (GM)	The bullhide does have boots, yeah. Rose reachest her end point
Drumun	when the GM hands you something without strings attached, you take it
R�senfeld	i did, don't worry lol Rose takes aim
R�senfeld	you know i was only at 3 out of like 14 insanity cap? his Will is crazy
Drumun	that's still more than me
H. Knight	I'm the closest tbh
Drumun	maybe HK is further along then Rose starts slowing her breath
H. Knight	I only have 10 will
Drumun	you should probably meditate with us get the sanity Drufle is just handing out Rose: Enchanted Longbow (marked, trickery, dirty tricks) Attack 25 Damage 31 apples gone
H. Knight	he's meditating over here just fine thanks
R�senfeld	such beautiful damage H. Knight wakes up on hearing the whoosh of the arrow go past
H. Knight	".... Good Shot." Rose is already busy looking busy
Drufle (GM)	I imagine the apple just disintegrates.
Rose	lol
R�senfeld	lol that's what I was thinking too shame about the ration but such beautiful damage
Rose	i think it may have been one of thickets arrows by accident
H. Knight	that's your luck done for the sesh
Drufle (GM)	Yvonne is just watching, amused.
Drumun	no, please don't use a magic arrow that'd be bad for HK's health
R�senfeld	BOOM! we all die end of story
Drufle (GM)	He'll be fiiiiiine.
H. Knight	I am basically what Ghesh is meant to be
R�senfeld	is the magic shiny dagger at the guild?
Drufle (GM)	Not if you took it with you.
H. Knight	let's say you have it on you
R�senfeld	have we been back to the guild since Roy reveal?
H. Knight	because otherwise it'd be under this
Drumun	we're sure as hell not getting back to the guild
Rose	lol. it was such a good shot. i got a 20. it went straight through the centre, carried the apple off the boat and then blewup
Drumun	its under the ocean
Drufle (GM)	If you mean the guild's HQ on the capital ship, then yeah. If you mean the actual guild in Caecras, that's gone.
R�senfeld	i haven't noted keeping it as a memento or anything, so unless we kept it with us somehow, i haen't got access to it
Drufle (GM)	Or at least under a substantial amount of blood goo.
R�senfeld	i'm going to assume since its a magical artifact that we carried it with
Drufle (GM)	I can't imagine why you guys wouldn't have it. Or why you would leave any magical items behind at all.
R�senfeld	ok good we're on teh same page there then what all magical artifacts do we even have? being haevily religious i haven't really otped to pay attention to that
Drumun	there's a belt and the moon pearl
H. Knight	I'm wearing the belt, the moon pearl is on... thicket?
Drumun	yeah
H. Knight	she'll prolly need it
R�senfeld	ok well I guess i'm just gonna go ahead and add the dagger to my inventory if that's not too unreasonable?
Drufle (GM)	Just take it, yeah.
Rose	i have a wand with will v will 1 min charming if that's any good?
Drufle (GM)	It's not a relic/artifact, but it's a nice magical item.
Rose	ive only used it once
Drufle (GM)	Anything else we want done before we arrive?
Rose	rus may have more need of it rus?
Drumun	Drumun is ready for whatever happens next Rose is ready
Drufle (GM)	Alright.
R�senfeld	i'm not sure using a wand will fit with my professions or character
Rose	np
R�senfeld	good idea tho
Drufle (GM)	You approach the Tower Arcane, a massive marble spear into the heavens. It floats a few stories above the surface of the ocean, with no apparent means of entry. As you approach, you hear a voice from above.
Rose	want me to knock?
R�senfeld	good luck you'd need to knock with arrows
Rose	yes
R�senfeld	what's the voice say?
Drumun	it seems like they know we're here already
Rose	shame
H. Knight	seen us coming from dozens of miles away
Magic Secretary	"Greetings, small sailing vessel. What is your business today?"
R�senfeld	callsign Dwarf-H26
H. Knight	"We Request Aid In Turning Back These Foul Waters!"
Rose	and steady ground for a bit
Magic Secretary	"We apologize, but we offer no aid to those who cannot prove their power."
Rose	this boat thing is wearing thin now
H. Knight	oh so that's how it is
R�senfeld	don't mind me while I angrily wrath of god the water
Drumun	we smiting something? Rose pulls out her bow
H. Knight	"Very Well! We Accept Your Challenge!"
R�senfeld	I sort of do it without meaning to, proving to myself the spirit is responsible for it more so than my faith so that helps
Drufle (GM)	So what, just a massive lightning bolt into the ocean?
R�senfeld	yeah
Magic Secretary	"Adequate. Remain still, please."
H. Knight	I think the ocean god drowned under the blood
Drufle (GM)	You all start feeling a strange tingling over your skin.
H. Knight	even me?
Rose	i still want to go swimming in it though
R�senfeld	"Um. Sorry about that."
Drufle (GM)	Probably you.
H. Knight	static starts jumping off HK's armor
Rose	???
Drufle (GM)	And suddenly, you appear somewhere else.
Rose	who are you
H. Knight	voip
Drumun	"Wha?"
R�senfeld	"Woah, that felt odd." Rose still has her bow ready
H. Knight	"Dungeon Trial. Very Droll."
Drufle (GM)	You're standing on some stone tiles in front of a great wooden door. The doors swing open, inviting you inside.
H. Knight	could you not get a free-standing door Rose bangs on the door
H. Knight	I honestly thought that was a wall
Drumun	do doors open rose
R�senfeld	why would bang on an open door?
H. Knight	lag
Drufle (GM)	Inside is a lovely foyer.
R�senfeld	oh lag is a very strange magical phenomenon, guess people are just used to it tho Rose: Perception Challenge Roll 0
R�senfeld	dat 17 tho
H. Knight	rose immediately jumps in the fountain
Magic Secretary	"Welcome, one, er, R�senfeld, is it?" "And company."
Rose	high point
R�senfeld	"Huh? Yes. Why Rusenfeld and company tho?" though* russ, stop using internet shorthands
Magic Secretary	"As you are the only one with apparent magical power, you will be the head guest for the time being."
R�senfeld	"I see."
Rose	"I'm royalty!"
H. Knight	is this person still speaking over a magic tannoy or something
Drumun	I would argue that me, HK, and Yvonne have magic power as well Magic Secretary speaks out of pretty much nowhere.
H. Knight	"All I Can Do Is Squirt Water Out Of My Eyes"
Drufle (GM)	Yes, but none of you bothered presenting yourselves. Yvonne just kinda held back.
R�senfeld	"I'm not really the only one with magic power, all of us, possibly excepting Holy Knight, who is a clockwork, have some magic ability."
Rose	what did my 17 see aswell gm?
Drufle (GM)	Pretty much what you see on the screen.
Rose	oh
H. Knight	no traps here
Drufle (GM)	A nice fountain, some cool dragon statues, a door heading out.
Rose	is there any more doors
H. Knight	the mages are far too sensible for traps
Drufle (GM)	A lovely red plush carpet leading north.
Rose	lets go north then
Drumun	we should ask where the library is H. Knight inspects the painting
Magic Secretary	"As the hailer, Mr. Rusenfeld, you will be responsible for your guests." "Now, what can the Tower Arcane do for you today?"
R�senfeld	"Uh, ok. Hey Rose, please don't shoot anything while we're here?"
Rose	"ill try"
Drufle (GM)	The painting is a lovely depiction of the Tower, floating high above a not-wrecked Caecras. R�senfeld is kind of lost Rose half puts her bow down
H. Knight	"Such A Shame We Couldn't Save All The Art."
Drumun	"Ah think we are lookin fer information" "About the nature of the blood see" *sea
H. Knight	"Voice? You Desired That We Prove Our Power Before Entry. What Is Your Challenge?"
Rose	and who woud be capable of opening a portal and keeping it open for soo long
Drumun	we already did, HK well, Russ did
H. Knight	oh that
R�senfeld	yeah
H. Knight	sorry I thoughchu meant a fight
R�senfeld	were you here when yvonne said something about a fireball?
Rose	lol
H. Knight	disregard my last statement
Rose	hi metal Ghesh
H. Knight	oh the lightning righto
R�senfeld	yes "So, yeah. The blood sea. We need to know how to safely traverse it. Inside of it, I mean."
Drumun	"We also need ta learn more about portals" "Findin them and their creators and such"
H. Knight	"The World Is Drowning Under A Sea Of Demonic Malice. The Flow Must Be Stopped/"
R�senfeld	that's easy man you fire left click for blue and right click for orange and you can go between them
Magic Secretary	"Of course, to be expected. Your payment?"
R�senfeld	Devilish* malice
Drumun	who's go money? Yvonne Lariel sighs and walks up to the painting.
R�senfeld	"Uh, payment?"
Drumun	Yvonne seems to have something
Yvonne Lariel	"Don't worry guys, I got it."
H. Knight	piece of her soul callin it Yvonne Lariel pulls a scroll out of her bag and holds it up to the painting, where it disappears from her hand.
R�senfeld	"Oh, we pay with knowledge, I get it."
H. Knight	"Have You Been Here Before?"
Magic Secretary	"Ah, psychic expert, are we? Excellent."
Rose	i could have given them some words of wisdom
Yvonne Lariel	"Most mages come here every now and then to do research."
R�senfeld	"Really thought that maybe they would prioritise saving the world or something."
H. Knight	"Understandable"
Yvonne Lariel	"It's helpful, but they require pretty substantial magical knowledge in return."
Drumun	"Ah wonder if Thicket or Wari ever came up here"
R�senfeld	"I wonder if Roy came up here." you notice rusenfeld is suddenly grim agani
Drumun	I mean, you say we notice Wari starts riotously laughing for reasons she can't explain
Rose	i wonder if any of my ancestors came here
R�senfeld	ok lemme rephrase he becomes noticably grim again
Drumun	but some of us are a bit preoccupied okay there you go Rose: Perception Challenge Roll 0
Magic Secretary	"Very well, which library would you care to access?"
Rose	i see ya its ok rus
Drumun	if thicket ever came up here there would definitely have been a fire
Rose	we will deal with this
Yvonne Lariel	"I... suppose the dream-base library? Does tat sound like a good start?"
R�senfeld	"Dream-base?"
Drumun	"Dreams, Portals, Demons, Undead...uhhh"
Rose	i hate dream magic stuff
Yvonne Lariel	"Yeah, their repository on dreams and dream worlds."
R�senfeld	"I guess we can start there." "If everyone else agrees."
Drumun	"We gotta lotta bases ta cover"
Rose	sure, lead on
Drufle (GM)	The door to the north fizzles and changes to a different door, one marked with strange runes.
Rose	???
R�senfeld	hey are those runes anything similar to the ones in that tomb
Drufle (GM)	Nope.
Drumun	"This place is real fancy" R�senfeld: Perception Challenge Roll 12 oh ok nevermind
Rose	I'm starting to not like this place as much as the water
Drufle (GM)	To the library!
R�senfeld	is this lie L-Space like*
Rose	where we gone
R�senfeld	are we going to get hopelessly lost
H. Knight	it's definitely an L-space nexus to be sure
Rose	oooooh Drumun immediately starts going through books
H. Knight	watch out for wild thesauruses
Drumun	at least the ones he can read
Rose	gai training
R�senfeld	hahaha
Rose	agi
Drufle (GM)	So, we're actually going to do this, uh, mechanically.
H. Knight	cool I'm 99% mechanical
Drufle (GM)	So we're actually going to be going through a number of different libraries over the course of this session.
Rose	i can get the high up boks
R�senfeld	budump-ts by mechanically you mean we're going to roll for things?
Drufle (GM)	Each one will be a "fight" of sorts, your minds against the piles of books. Yeah.
Drumun	oh noooo goodbye cruel world
R�senfeld	legit.
H. Knight	DREAM BATTLE DREAM BATTLE
Rose	cool, but why minds
Drufle (GM)	Well, you can't really learn by shooting things.
R�senfeld	don't worry my int is 13
Drumun	I use Flying Mind Kick
H. Knight	you can't threaten books with death
Drufle (GM)	So how this will work is as follows.
Rose	mines only 11, i would prefer agi things lol
Drumun	I have 12 Will and 8 Int
Drufle (GM)	For a given 4-hour period, we'll make a roll each.
Rose	ok
R�senfeld	you may not be the smartest tool in the shed, but you know what love is
Drumun	does he?
Drufle (GM)	You make a Will or Int check, whichever you like.
R�senfeld	and dwarves are like a box of chocolates
Drumun	Oh good, will saves
Drufle (GM)	You get a number of boons or banes depending on how complex the subject is.
Rose	i am fluent in high archaic though so i could possibly help
Drumun	speak or read its actually different in this game
Rose	both
Drufle (GM)	If you succeed on the roll, you do an amount of "knowledge damage" to the library.
H. Knight	ahahaha
Drufle (GM)	If you have no training even remotely related, you only do 1d3 damage.
Drumun	I have Dwarven History
Drufle (GM)	If you can convince me that you have some tangential relation to the subject, you do 1d6. If you actually have a profession related to the subject, you do 1d10. Drumun looks for everything based on music and boats
Rose	i have s/r with common, elvish, high archaic and gypsie secret languages
H. Knight	you can probably remove the last one
Drufle (GM)	Languages will just allow you to make the checks at all, not necessarily giving you buffs.
Rose	you never know
Drufle (GM)	So, does anyone think they have a decent connection to dreams?
Drumun	I hope Yvonne is making rolls with us Music!? Music is dreamlike
Drufle (GM)	Ehhh.
Drumun	its the best I got, take it or leave it
Rose	as a dancer and prostitute i am in many a mans dreams, does that count
Drufle (GM)	Yvonne certainly has a connection to dreams, so she can do 1d6.
H. Knight	also the fey realms are kinda nebulous
R�senfeld	Hmm.. I don't have a connection to dreams, realy.
Drufle (GM)	I think the rest of you will probably be doing 1d3.
Drumun	Drumun used to ferry people around, usually couples
Rose	oh yes, and fey royalty
H. Knight	HK would probably have a negative mod lol
Drumun	young couples so he'd have some experience with dreams
Drufle (GM)	When I say dreams, I don't mean like. H. Knight gets down to business
Drufle (GM)	Aspirations.
Drumun	look I have to try
Drufle (GM)	I mean actual, sleeping dreams.
(From Rose)	dancer, prostitute and elven royalty should cover dreams
Drumun	next up is dwarven politics
R�senfeld	1d3 is better than nothing
Drufle (GM)	Alright, I'll give Rose 1d6. H. Knight: Intellect Challenge Roll 12
Drufle (GM)	Oh, and you get a boon on this check. Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0
Drufle (GM)	Not that HK needed it.
Rose	yes
Drufle (GM)	Or Rose.
Drumun	I'm not even going to argue for Dwarven Politics
H. Knight	rolling 1d3( 2 ) = 2
R�senfeld	wait why are we checking int? Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 14
R�senfeld	oh is it a challenge roll?
H. Knight	int or will roll
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
Rose	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Drumun	rolling 1d3( 2 ) = 2
R�senfeld	guess I better do Will no boons for me right?
Drufle (GM)	One.
Drumun	we get a boon about dreams apparently? R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 25 WOWW
Drufle (GM)	Well, this library is extensive and well-made.
H. Knight	we had a shared nightmare it's fine
Drumun	good job
Drufle (GM)	Alright, hell, Ruse can get 1d6. For such a good will roll.
R�senfeld	awesome! watch me roll a 1 rolling 16 16 = 16
Drufle (GM)	(man maybe yvonne doesnt need to help)
R�senfeld	rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2 lmao
Drumun	uhhhh
H. Knight	gold star for trying buddy
Drufle (GM)	So in your first four hours, you actually learn quite a lot of information.
Rose	cool
Drufle (GM)	You guys will get special facts for each KP threshold you break. H. Knight scans 150 lines per second
Rose	its a good job this wasn't pathfinder
Drumun	we'd have more absurd stats in pathfinder Rose is leaping from top shelf to top shelf flicking through books and thowing them down to hk
Drufle (GM)	You find some interesting books about the connections between Diabolus and the dream world, implying that he has another identity connected to that. Drumun leaps around, grabbing books normally out of reach for a dwarf
R�senfeld	is dream world canon with the general SotDL universe?
H. Knight	"Hmm, This Diabolus Is A Crafty Individual, To Be Certain"
Drufle (GM)	Not really, no.
R�senfeld	ok just wondering "Yeah, outright diabolical..."
Drumun	"He seems ta have many aliases, it seems"
Rose	"so we may need to be asleep to battle this person then, great!
Drumun	shit, redundancy
R�senfeld	sorry i couldn't really stop myself
Drufle (GM)	So, next four hours. Make another roll! Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 14 Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0
Drumun	sure, I'm fine with a repeat roll
R�senfeld	boon again?
Drufle (GM)	Yes. R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 21 niiice
Rose	did a 10 do it?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, 10 is always a pass. Drumun is swiftly moving about, reading books from atop the shelves
Rose	brill
R�senfeld	so 1d3 this time?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
Drumun	rolling 1d3( 1 ) = 1
Rose	rolling 1000000010000000 = 10000000
R�senfeld	lol ok
Drumun	uhhh
Rose	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3
R�senfeld	rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2 oops
Drumun	that's worse than even my rolls
R�senfeld	i meant to do 1d3 H. Knight: Will Challenge Roll 5
Drumun	eh, you got in range its fine
H. Knight	welp
Drufle (GM)	Oof.
R�senfeld	nah cuz i skewed the chances
Rose	someone wind hk up
R�senfeld	rolling 1d3( 2 ) = 2 lmao
Drumun	see russ
R�senfeld	ok i guess i get 2
Drumun	it was fine
Drufle (GM)	Well, this reading session wasn't nearly as productive as last time, unfortunately.
Drumun	what'd Yvonne get?
Drufle (GM)	You feel like you're getting very close to another breakthrough, but it's escaping you.
Rose	she hasn't rolled twice
Drufle (GM)	I'm not actually rolling for Yvonne, considering there's 4 of you.
H. Knight	ok
Rose	oh
Drumun	oh, okay
H. Knight	when do we take breaks?
Drufle (GM)	You're making plenty of progress as is.
H. Knight	organics need to eat
Rose	when were finnished
H. Knight	use the lavatory
Drumun	"We're close ta somethin...ah kin feel it"
Rose	i'll climb higher
R�senfeld	in between reading sessions i imagine
Drufle (GM)	You could argue that you're taking breaks during these 4-hour sessions. Or between them, yeah. Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 24 LETS GO
R�senfeld	lolol Rose goes to the furthest books she can find Drumun meditates while on top of a large pile of books, absorbing information
H. Knight	aren't we switching subjects per breakthrough?
Drumun	rolling 1d3( 1 ) = 1 Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0 Rose got a migrane
Drumun	dang it 1s
Drufle (GM)	No, you're remaining in the dream library.
Drumun	why must your forsake me
H. Knight	ok
Drufle (GM)	There's still quite a bit to learn here.
Drumun	can I reroll for doing so well on my will check?
Drufle (GM)	So Ruse, HK? R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 10
Drufle (GM)	No. :P
Drumun	dang
R�senfeld	rolling 1d3( 3 ) = 3 yay
H. Knight	so am I getting a boon?
Drufle (GM)	Until I say otherwise.
Drumun	Dreams are simple, so we all get boons
H. Knight	ok Intellect Challenge Roll 11 rolling 1d3 ( 1 ) = 1 H. Knight is buffering
Drumun	well I think Russ gets this next one he's the only one who dealt more than 1 damage
Drufle (GM)	In this session, you manage to find out that some ancient beings used dreams as power; by infecting the sleeping, these old forces could gain more power.
H. Knight	"Making Dreams A Reality..?" "Rather Coarse Way Of Doing It, All Told"
Rose	that's my profession
R�senfeld	"These old forces.. They might be something similar to the spirit that resides with me."
Drumun	"'infect' is a worrisome way to put it
Rose	"i make every mans dreams a reality"
Drumun	"
R�senfeld	"Old entities of untold power. They might be convinced to act in our favour."
Drufle (GM)	The final answer in this library is just a little bit further now.
Rose	i should get a batter damage roll now you said that
Drumun	"Or they could be workin against us" "Already"
R�senfeld	"And I guess, since my god is a sham, I might as well not worry about offending him anymore."
Rose	it is soo in my professional skill set
Drufle (GM)	You're already getting a 1d6.
Rose	i wanna d10 Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 25 YESSS
Rose	dreams into reality and all
Drufle (GM)	Sorry, but d10 is only if your professions are literally and absolutely linked to the subject at hand.
H. Knight	when we enter the Adult Section, Rose have patience Drumun is in the zone, reading books that no one is sure he should be able to
Rose	that's what I'm arguing for
Drufle (GM)	You'd have to have a profession in Spiritualist, or something like that.
Drumun	rolling 1d3( 1 ) = 1 fuck Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0
Drumun	Drumun find better books
Drufle (GM)	You can roll a d6, Drumun.
Drumun	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Drufle (GM)	For getting at least the 25.
Drumun	yay thanks
Rose	damn 9
Drufle (GM)	Ruse, HK? H. Knight: Intellect Challenge Roll 15 Drumun finds an especially good read
H. Knight	rolling 1d3( 3 ) = 3
Rose	do i roll damage on a 9?
Drufle (GM)	Nope.
Drumun	10 or higher
Drufle (GM)	Gotta be a 10. Rose is still climbing H. Knight is back online
Rose	"its gotta be around here somewhere"
Drufle (GM)	Oh wait, Rose has an INT of 11. She does actually succeed.
Rose	oh brill rolling 1d6 ( 2 ) = 2 .....
R�senfeld	oh is it time for me to roll another check?
H. Knight	hubris and yes
Drufle (GM)	You don't need to, Rose finished off the library. R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 19 oh ok
Drufle (GM)	But that is helpful.
Rose	yay
Drufle (GM)	Good job.
Drumun	learn something extra maybe?
Rose	top shelf wins
Drumun	you weren't the only one up top Drumun's pretty spry himself
Drufle (GM)	In a book cross-referenced with the occult library, you find that the name of Diabolus' strange dream alias is Hastur.
Rose	??
Drufle (GM)	A terrible being that infects people's dreams through books and plays about himself.
R�senfeld	oh god
Rose	oh, we should go and find a book on him then, and destroy it?
Drumun	did Roy fuse with Hastur?
R�senfeld	we just read a book about hi him8 literally just now
Drufle (GM)	You realize, in fact, that the book Roy always carried around referenced Hastur.
H. Knight	"That Damn Tome!"
Rose	B*D
Drumun	"This goes back further than we thought..."
Yvonne Lariel	"How very awful... what a strange thing indeed."
Drumun	"If only we had er tome with us!" "We might be able ta find somethin out"
H. Knight	"We Could Not Read It, Lest This Aspect of Diabolus Infest Our Own Minds."
Yvonne Lariel	"I think we have everything we can get from here. Let's move onto a different library."
Rose	ok
R�senfeld	"Mhm."
Drufle (GM)	(for sake of my sanity we won't actually be moving maps, just conceptual locations. ) Rose jumps down executing a double backflip with single twist
R�senfeld	lol ok drufle
H. Knight	they're all the same format
Drufle (GM)	Basically.
R�senfeld	but i think you should take 1 insanity from that jkjk
Drumun	"Huh, this library dun look too different"
Drufle (GM)	So we'll be moving onto the Occult-base library.
R�senfeld	"It's a place with shelves and books. It's gonna look similar."
Rose	well there all full of books, so they will look the same der!
Drufle (GM)	Anyone have something related to the occult?
Rose	yes
Drumun	Politics I have Politics nuff said
R�senfeld	I do! I was sort of experimented on before which is how I came to be haunted
Rose	i spent years with gypsie flesh harvesters
R�senfeld	by old magic practitioners adn witches adn things and
Drufle (GM)	Alright, you two definitely get a 1d6. This library is a bit messier and not as complete, so no boons this time.
Drumun	Can I do 1d6?
Drufle (GM)	Hmmm..
Drumun	One: I'm a wareboar
Drufle (GM)	I suppose your lycanthropy counts.
Drumun	2: I know politics
Drufle (GM)	You can have a 1d6, sure.
Drumun	woo Will Challenge Roll 22 R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 22
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead and make your rolls, no boons/banes.
Drumun	holy shit okay
R�senfeld	wow
Drufle (GM)	Wow, alright.
Rose	oh and if its old magic, does elf count?
Drumun	rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2
R�senfeld	he rolled a nat20
Drumun	...
Drufle (GM)	You already got your 1d6, Rose.
H. Knight	I'm a ghost-powered robot. does that count?
Drufle (GM)	...
Rose	oh, I'm still going to try for higher lol
R�senfeld	hahaha
Drufle (GM)	I mean, yeah. I suppose so.
H. Knight	ok!
R�senfeld	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3 Drumun uses his knowledge of lycanthropy and politics to find his way through the occult books
R�senfeld	damn Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0 yes
R�senfeld	really wish I'd get a 5 or a 6 for once
Rose	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3
Drufle (GM)	HK, make your roll. H. Knight: Will Challenge Roll 17 rolling 1d6 ( 6 ) = 6
Drumun	we REALLY know about the occult
H. Knight	boom
Drufle (GM)	You guys really like the occult, huh.
Rose	wtg HK its soo cool H. Knight is now reading at 200 lps
Drumun	"This is far more interestin than I expected it ta be"
Rose	considering how the world is, you cannot help but be interested in it
H. Knight	"So THAT'S How I was Made..."
Rose	lmao
Drufle (GM)	Immediately, you find an interesting name tentatively related to the ancient dream beings- a hero of the past named Yew Fletcher.
Drumun	"Ah wonder if ah kin find out more about the boarness" Rose is really interested in how demonic tattoos are made
H. Knight	Youuuuu fletcher
R�senfeld	hahahahaha
Drufle (GM)	Next roll, everyone. R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 11 Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0 H. Knight: Intellect Challenge Roll 20
Rose	fuck
H. Knight	AUGHH
R�senfeld	wow
Drufle (GM)	My goodness.
R�senfeld	nat20 again
Drufle (GM)	You guys really like the occult. Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 8 sigh
R�senfeld	rolling 1d6( 6 ) = 6 YES! Drumun trips and drops a whole pile of books
H. Knight	rolling 1d6( 5 ) = 5
Rose	he should get more bonuses for damage for that
R�senfeld	no crits in SotDL
H. Knight	nahh
Drufle (GM)	Wow, alright, I guess we're just done with this library then.
H. Knight	we fine
Drumun	you guys don't need my help here
Rose	hk got this one
R�senfeld	what do you mean "hk got this one" I just rolled a 6 :P
H. Knight	golf clap for russ
R�senfeld	hahaha
Rose	lmao
Drumun	"I wonder wut this says about us, since we got through this so much quicker"
H. Knight	"Breadth Of Experience, Drumun"
Rose	it means the world prepared us for this
Drufle (GM)	Yew Fletcher is a fascinating person; he was an ancient folk hero, the only recorded person to ever fight one of these Old Ones and succeed at destroying them.
H. Knight	oooh
Rose	we have to find him then
R�senfeld	wow, he destroyed one?
Rose	maybe he can be your new god
R�senfeld	not sure i'm looking for a new one just yet
Yvonne Lariel	"What an amazing story... I wonder what happened to him? We should go look into the history and folklore-base library."
R�senfeld	"To the library! er, The... other! Library! yeah!"
Rose	lol
Drumun	"Sounds good ta me"
Rose	I'm calling dancer and elf again on this
Drufle (GM)	Here, you can have more room.
Rose	i am folklore
R�senfeld	gasp so much more books
Drumun	Okay so
H. Knight	I am an ancient soldier from a forgotten war
Drumun	Musician and Dwarven Politics History and Folktales are my thing without a doubt
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I'll actually give Drumun the 1d10.
R�senfeld	my experience with history and folklore is very limited
H. Knight	don't wast those rolls
Drufle (GM)	However, this library is incredibly poorly organized.
R�senfeld	at most i would've heard stories from other street urchins
Drufle (GM)	It looks like nobody's done indexing in here for years.
Rose	doesn't dancer get the same as musician
Drufle (GM)	You all get a bane (except Drumun) on your rolls.
Drumun	god dammit it librarians
Drufle (GM)	Ehhhhh.
Rose	we have to learn the dances that goes to the music?
Drufle (GM)	You can certainly have the 1d6, Rose.
Rose	yay
H. Knight	"Clearly The Authorities Have Differenr Priorities" how about me?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
H. Knight	ok Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 10
Drufle (GM)	Oof, nice. Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0 R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 18
Rose	yes
Drufle (GM)	My gods. Drumun starts humming tunes and tales he remembered from his time on the river H. Knight: Intellect Challenge Roll 4
Drumun	rolling 1d10( 6 ) = 6
H. Knight	nop
R�senfeld	my will.. is unbreakable
Drufle (GM)	You all finally decided to use your 20s. Rose is dancing around the isles
Rose	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Drufle (GM)	Ruse, roll your d3.
R�senfeld	rolling 1d3( 2 ) = 2
Drufle (GM)	Good.
Drumun	just enough?
Rose	us artisans really know what were doing. of fuck i have the artisan aswell?
Drufle (GM)	So you find quite a bit of information on this Yew guy.
Rose	does artisan give me the d10?
Drufle (GM)	That's a bit of a stretch, considering the topic at hand.
H. Knight	that's for arts and crafts Id imagine
Rose	i know.... worth a try
Drufle (GM)	I think you'll have to live with the d6.
Drumun	"Ohhh...I thought I remembered this guy's name"
Rose	i know.. but Drumun sings a quick tune about Yew
Drufle (GM)	So, he was an accomplished magician back in his day, so many years ago. Rose starts dancing
Rose	again
Drufle (GM)	A particular master of many kinds of magic, he was one of the most feared and beloved heroes of his day.
H. Knight	feared by the bad, loved by the good
Drufle (GM)	With specialties in Nature magic, Psychic magic, Alchemy, Technomancy...
Rose	and the future father to my children
R�senfeld	technomancy?
Drufle (GM)	He was to be feared by all who opposed him.
H. Knight	pfft
R�senfeld	STEAMPUNK MAGIBOTS!
H. Knight	but yes H. Knight takes notice of the technomantic
Drufle (GM)	However, it seems that after his battle with the Old One, his very being began fracturing. Rose starts picturing how their children would lok
H. Knight	go on...
R�senfeld	welp
Rose	oh
Drufle (GM)	You'll have to make another roll!
R�senfeld	i smell a fetch quest Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0 H. Knight: Intellect Challenge Roll 14
Rose	rolling 1d6( 6 ) = 6 R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 7
H. Knight	that's better
Rose	yes
R�senfeld	noooo Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 8 sigh
H. Knight	rolling 1d6( 5 ) = 5
Drufle (GM)	Rose, you didn't pass.
Rose	i thought a 9 passed
H. Knight	only me this round
Drufle (GM)	You forgot your bane. Drumun gets somewhat distracted
Drufle (GM)	You'd have a solid 10 without it, so you'd have a 9 at best with the bane. So unfortunately, these 4 hours were not very helpful.
Rose	and with my interlect at 11 i thought that passed
Drufle (GM)	A 9 does without a bane.
Drumun	the bane made sure you couldn't
Drufle (GM)	With a bane, it can't.
Rose	oh but i got a 6 Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 11
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunate indeed.
Drumun	rolling 1d10( 1 ) = 1
Drufle (GM)	Drumun, your bane. Drumun finds a children's book
Drumun	Drufle
Drufle (GM)	Oh.
Drumun	you didn't give me a bane
Drufle (GM)	Right.
H. Knight	what did I just tell you about wasting that d10
Drufle (GM)	I can't remember my own rules.
Drumun	because I actually knew what I was doing
Drufle (GM)	The other three of you roll now.
Drumun	I'm trying HK can I trade my d10 for a 2d5?
Drufle (GM)	:P Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0
Drufle (GM)	There's a pass.
Rose	there we go
H. Knight	new round?
Drufle (GM)	Yes. HK and Ruse, roll.
Rose	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4 H. Knight: Intellect Challenge Roll 14 rolling 1d6 ( 5 ) = 5
Drumun	"Who makes children's books this big?" "What child could sit through this?"
H. Knight	"You'd Be Surprised"
Drufle (GM)	Ruse seems to be preoccupied. H. Knight thinks back to the old smith's son. falling asleep with Artificer's Digest on his chest
Drufle (GM)	Well it doesn't matter anyway, HK finished this library.
H. Knight	Iron Student Holy Knight Rose is picturing thicket in this library and her reactions to the books
Drumun	there are two ways that could end, Rose both involve fire
H. Knight	her reaction would be oh! fuel!
R�senfeld	sorry took a quick biobiz break
Rose	lol
Drufle (GM)	A mere few months after his climactic battle with the Old One, Yew's injuries finally caught up to him.
Drumun	well, she wouldn't deliberately light the books on fire
Rose	NOOOOOOOOO!
H. Knight	your husbando is gone
Drufle (GM)	He had tentatively saved Rul from this monster, but the victory was pyrrhic at best. His being fractured into three pieces, flung across the continent by the force of his will.
H. Knight	is this allegorical or real
Rose	oooh artefact hunting
H. Knight	because euugh that's gory
Drufle (GM)	Allegorical.
H. Knight	ok cool didn't want to have to hunt for The Three Corpse Parts
R�senfeld	we're still getting a fetch quest, don't worry
Rose	shame
Drumun	if anything it'd be soul pieces or whatever
H. Knight	*let's split up gang *
Rose	ooooh, whats the name on my bronze plate
Drumun	not how Yew did it, but like normal people
Drufle (GM)	His Mind settled into the earth around the newly built Caecras, his old home. His Body flew into the caves in the middle of the continent, far into the home of dark beings. And his Soul seems to have been lost far to the north, in the furthest reaches of the Empire.
H. Knight	hm
R�senfeld	5 bucks says teh artifacts we have are pieces of his soul
H. Knight	"Well, We Could Go Retrieve One Of Those As Soon As We Leave" "I Have A Good Idea Of Where It Might Be."
Drumun	"What a way ta go..."
Yvonne Lariel	"How intriguing... I think we should go look into the Relic-base library, and see if they have any information on these pieces."
H. Knight	"Very Well"
Drumun	"Relics, but sometime we also need a way under the blood sea"
Samantha Rose H.	I'm back. had to plug my comp in
H. Knight	hallo didn't see you log out, oddly enough
R�senfeld	"This dude fought what is essentially an old god and lived, surely we should follow up on that,"
H. Knight	GM! how far has the sea of LCL spread?
R�senfeld	LCL?
H. Knight	are the non-caecras locations unflooded, I mean don't mind my references, Russ
Rose	i think we may already have what we need
Drumun	is this another SRW thing?
Drufle (GM)	It is only barely outside of the reaches of the region called Caecras.
H. Knight	okay @drumun it's sort of related
Drufle (GM)	The Northern Reach is most likely not covered yet.
Drumun	well there is one problem if we dock, the sea won't stop when we get back our boat will be far away
Drufle (GM)	Have you ever heard of an anchor?
H. Knight	oh I assumed we just dropped anchor
Drumun	I mean it'll spread past
Rose	keep a crew on the boat so they can sail and keep up with us
Drumun	keep going
H. Knight	right
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, you'll have to climb back up or something. Anyway, the final library!
Rose	ooooooh
Drumun	so we're not going to learn about portals?
Drufle (GM)	This one is once again relatively well-put together. So no boons/banes.
Drumun	okay so
H. Knight	"If We Need To Retrieve These Artifacts, We Shall Need A Means Of Fast Travel"
Drumun	Dwarven Politics?
Drufle (GM)	For relics?
Drumun	surrrre
Rose	we wont need to if we get this champion together again. he will have all the knowledge
H. Knight	"To Reach These Locations Before The Tide Comes In"
Drumun	I don't think I'll be much help here
Drufle (GM)	Let's say you guys all get 1d6, since you have relics yourselves.
Drumun	alright
H. Knight	i have a relic? Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 7
R�senfeld	I'm certainly not an expert reliquarian, but i am an inquisitor's henchman, i probably studied up on artifacts a little bit
Drufle (GM)	I'm sure you've spent some time studying them. You're wearing one right now, HK. Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0
H. Knight	oh the belt R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 17
Rose	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3
R�senfeld	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3 Drumun doesn't understand any of this H. Knight: Intellect Challenge Roll 7 bah
Drufle (GM)	Well, that didn't get you much. Perhaps another try?
Drumun	another round Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0
Drumun	I hope you're keeping track of time
Rose	oh yes
Drufle (GM)	Oh, I am.
H. Knight	he definitely is Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 22
H. Knight	I am very worried
Drufle (GM)	Really?
Drumun	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3
Rose	rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2
Drufle (GM)	More 20s? Drumun it suddenly just clicks for Drumun H. Knight: Intellect Challenge Roll 3 R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 13 rolling 16 16 = 16
Drumun	"Ah see now..."
R�senfeld	rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2 H. Knight is burning out
R�senfeld	god shit damage is shit
Drumun	how is the robot burning out before the fleshies Rose grabs some parchment and uses it to give hks key a quick turn
H. Knight	"Oof! Thank You."
Drufle (GM)	You find that the pieces of Yew's being coalesced into physical objects, representative of his incredible power.
Rose	oooooh
Drufle (GM)	From some brief descriptions, you realize that you actually already have two of the pieces.
R�senfeld	CALLED IT!
H. Knight	oh well
Rose	same
R�senfeld	fuckin called it
Rose	wtg rus
R�senfeld	fetch quest for the third incoming
H. Knight	"What,,? So These Are.."
Drumun	"Well that's convenient"
R�senfeld	"NOT tears of a moon maiden, that's for sure,"
Rose	awe, i wanted to go see a moon maiden R�senfeld feels slightly proud that, despite not really having a god to follow, he wasn't wrong in accusing artifacts of their false legacy
Drumun	which is which, the belt is obviously body which is the moon pearl?
Rose	eyes?
H. Knight	pfft
R�senfeld	mind?
Rose	oh no, spirit
Drufle (GM)	Mind.
Drumun	Russ and Rose show why this is a dillema
R�senfeld	is mind, i win
Drufle (GM)	I mean, it was in the earth around Caecras, and you found it at a Caecran farm.
H. Knight	"So All That's Left To Locate Is The Soul.." oh
Drumun	"The issue is that..." "that may be far away"
H. Knight	I was SO expecting it to be behind the Obsequious Door of Harrow Hill
Drumun	"Lookin at mah notes"
Rose	if we can find how souls move around i may be able to track them
Drufle (GM)	You can make your roll for the next part, by the way.
H. Knight	that would be useful ok Intellect Challenge Roll 8 Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 6 R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 12 ouch Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0
H. Knight	nothing for this librart!
R�senfeld	rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2
Rose	rolling 1d6( 5 ) = 5
R�senfeld	ugh that damage tho
Rose	i got it
Drumun	yer doing better than we are
Rose	I'm hunting for the soul of my future husband
H. Knight	but what if he's gay
Rose	then I'm screwed, well not literaly
H. Knight	pahahahaha
R�senfeld	hahahaha
Drufle (GM)	Just slightly more progress, but not much.
Drumun	next cycle?
R�senfeld	how many of those do we get Drumun is just covered in books about cooking
Drumun	"Ah ain't sure what ah'm doin, if ah'm bein honest" Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0 rolling 1d6 ( 2 ) = 2 Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 3 H. Knight: Intellect Challenge Roll 8 R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 13
Drumun	I really don't know what I'm doing
R�senfeld	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3
Rose	just me still looking?
H. Knight	and russ
Drumun	you and russ
Drufle (GM)	Apparently, yeah.
Rose	oh good
Drumun	basically thats it
Drufle (GM)	Alright, just a sec. Drumun has fallen asleep
Drufle (GM)	I gotta do a bit of looking-up.
H. Knight	disaster table
Rose	rus would you mind kiving hk a good wind up
R�senfeld	Hey HK, your shoe's untied. Ha! Wound you up.
Drumun	Zzzzz
R�senfeld	f u:P
H. Knight	augh
Drufle (GM)	Alright, found it. So with that slight more progress, you find the next bit of information.
H. Knight	yay
Drufle (GM)	Most relics are stand-alone objects of power, but certain ones, like the Fragments of Yew, are special in that they are intrinsically linked.
Rose	oooh, a way to track
Drufle (GM)	If all of them can be brought together, they can recombine into an item of immense power; one stronger than most people could even imagine.
H. Knight	who wrote all this
Rose	please be a bow
Drufle (GM)	And yes, Rose is correct; linked items have a tendency to move towards each other.
R�senfeld	probably farseers and clairvoyants hk
Drumun	now how would someone have figured out these relics merge?
H. Knight	so is this why the belt-wearing bull wandered into town?
Rose	probably
Drufle (GM)	Yes to HK, and Drumun: these fragments aren't the only example of fractured relics.
H. Knight	ohh!
Drumun	for all we know the combined artifact could just make fruitcake
Drufle (GM)	It's not incredibly common, but there are multiple examples of beings of great power breaking apart. pffft Anyway, a few more facts! Keep rolling.
R�senfeld	The Fruitcake of Power! Will Challenge Roll 15 Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 15
R�senfeld	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3
Drumun	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3
R�senfeld	fuck you game Drumun wakes up
Rose	so if we combine the stone and dagger it could possibly point in the direction we need to go when floated on water?
Drufle (GM)	Stone and belt, but yes.
Drumun	"Huwah...this cookbook...there's somethin in the margins" Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0
R�senfeld	lol
Drufle (GM)	HK, make your roll.
Rose	i saw and image of a neked guy, I'm a little distracted naked
R�senfeld	nekkid
H. Knight	" for all we know the combined artifact could just make fruitcake " NO DEVIL's FOOD CAKE
Drumun	oh noooo
Drufle (GM)	pfffft
Drumun	but also so delicious
R�senfeld	The devil's in the details. H. Knight: Intellect Challenge Roll 1
Drufle (GM)	Ah.
Drumun	you broke HK with that pun
H. Knight	ok now I ACTUALLY shut down
Drufle (GM)	No, you have to get a 0, remember?
H. Knight	oh! ok
R�senfeld	It wasn't a pun!
Drufle (GM)	0 or negative. Although you sure as hell don't find anything new. We do get another fact, though. H. Knight needs to change his optics
Rose	your in safe mode now
H. Knight	lol
Drufle (GM)	Because Yew's being broke under the mantle of ancient magic, it's been widely speculated that any amalgam of his relics would give its wielder the ability to cross the borders between realities. As well as protection against the magic of the Old Ones.
Rose	oooooh
Drufle (GM)	One more fact, kiddos, and then research time is donw. done* R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 17 rolling 1d6 ( 5 ) = 5 Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0
R�senfeld	woot
Rose	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3 Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 13 rolling 1d6 ( 5 ) = 5
R�senfeld	yes! YES!
Drumun	the final stretch
Drufle (GM)	Boy, that is a lot of KP damage. Drumun is reinvigorated H. Knight: Intellect Challenge Roll 10 finally
Rose	hks back online
R�senfeld	roll a 6! go on!
H. Knight	rolling 1d6( 2 ) = 2 aw
Drufle (GM)	And knocked right out of the park.
Drumun	close enough
R�senfeld	... you had ONE job.
H. Knight	ok
Drumun	you did good
Drufle (GM)	So, the remaining information.
R�senfeld	jk well done everyone you baically carried me most of this librar library*
Drufle (GM)	You actually find an incredible book; the memoirs of Yew himself.
H. Knight	We all did work
Drumun	I did not expect Drumun to do this well
H. Knight	and now we're all very tired we've spent at least three days in here
Rose	hes sooooooooooo cute
H. Knight	he is a baby boy
Drufle (GM)	In this book, he lists some of the things he fought, which sound concerningly like the creatures that have been invading your boats.
Drumun	"So history repeats itself"
H. Knight	"I Don't Know, Ten Bone Machines At Once Sounds Spurious..."
Drufle (GM)	He talks of his battle with the Great Old One, whose name he refused to write onto paper. Rose 's mind is currently being censored for everyones sanity
Drufle (GM)	And of his eventual victory, through incredible magical onslaught.
H. Knight	you are incorrigible
Rose	yes
Drumun	"If he kin beat an old one, ah dun think bones are an issue fer him"
Drufle (GM)	And towards the end of the book, he talks about his realization that his body was fading. And his three favored magical objects, where he planned to store his power.
Rose	oooh go on
Drumun	"Ah git the feelin...if we're followin in his footsteps..." Drumun doesn't finish that statement
R�senfeld	"that we're gonna fall apart?"
Drumun	"...aye"
Rose	I'm already there so I'm good
R�senfeld	"We'll just have to make sure to take Roy down with us. Maybe so Diabolus while we're at it."
Drufle (GM)	His crystal orb, a gift from his parents; a belt of demon hide, carved by himself.
R�senfeld	also*
Rose	and....
Drumun	well? tfw its scrubbed out
Drufle (GM)	And a small gemstone, a present from an admirer. He's sketched it into the margins of his memoirs.
Drumun	oh no he's already got a lover
Rose	what?
Drufle (GM)	All of you but Rose, make a PER check.
Rose	not for long R�senfeld: Perception Challenge Roll 6 Drumun: Perception Challenge Roll 13
Rose	why not me?
R�senfeld	wtf man H. Knight: Perception Challenge Roll 15
Drufle (GM)	There's a good rason. Reason.
Drumun	raison
R�senfeld	i rolled a fucking 3, ew.
Drufle (GM)	HK and Drumun think this gem looks awfully... familiar.
Drumun	"Wait a minute..."
H. Knight	"Hmm..>"
Drufle (GM)	Their minds reach far, far back; years in the past.
Rose	????
H. Knight	years? oof
Drumun	we're going on a journey...BACK TO THE PAST
Drufle (GM)	They recall their first adventure together, into the catacombs of Bastion.
R�senfeld	Gotta get back... back to the past. Samurai ja- I mean yeah
Drufle (GM)	And they suddenly remember.
H. Knight	"There!"
Drumun	"I can't believe it" "Of all things..."
Drufle (GM)	On the corpse of the butcher, whose body they had interred back into place after he was killed by cultists. On an iron chain, a necklace he wore. Laid the Soul of Yew.
R�senfeld	Are Yew serious right now
Drufle (GM)	(wheres the kick button)
Rose	really?
H. Knight	...is this a retcon
R�senfeld	you don't need a kick button
Drumun	oh no (who was the butcher again?) Drufle how could you!? you kicked sol
H. Knight	I don't remember this bit at allll
Drufle (GM)	No, that was actually the one corpse in the catacomb you guys didn't loot.
H. Knight	oh!!
Drufle (GM)	He was impaled with a longsword, which HK took.
Sol	yeah you don't need a kick button
H. Knight	the one that Russ Forgot
R�senfeld	i can show myself out
Drufle (GM)	Drumun decided not to slam dunk the body into an alcove.
Drumun	so we missed it by chance
Drufle (GM)	And Roy took her first incantation off the body.
H. Knight	we just ignored his jewellery I vaguely recall now that you told at least me
R�senfeld	well great
H. Knight	that we would have found more on him
Drufle (GM)	I mean, I may have deliberately made a big deal of the necklace.
R�senfeld	it's buried under oceans of blood goo now
H. Knight	if we had better PER rolls
Rose	well atleast you know where to look
Drufle (GM)	Er, not made a big deal.
Drumun	you maniacal bastard, Drufle
Drufle (GM)	So that we would have a nice level 9 adventure.
H. Knight	welp
Drumun	"Well..."
H. Knight	back to the podunk town of bastion
Drumun	"Ah hope that place ain't under the sea now"
H. Knight	"I Certainly Did Not Expect This" "What Are The Odds The Place Is Still Cleared Out?"
Rose	ooooh music change?
H. Knight	"Except For That Ghoul"
Drufle (GM)	Potentially. I just wanted to gauge people's feelings on continuing.
R�senfeld	that ghoul is breakfast to us now
Drumun	"Not low enough to stop us"
Rose	I'm good to continue
Drufle (GM)	It's been, uh, 2.5 hours?
Drumun	I'm okay to go
H. Knight	part of me would like to fight something
Drumun	continue I mean
Drufle (GM)	Good, because there's gonna be a fight.
H. Knight	yayy
R�senfeld	yeah let's fight something
Rose	i may just ni the loo though
Drumun	Can I look for information on portals first? because I did want to know more about portals
R�senfeld	i'm fighting Hunger irl rn
Drufle (GM)	Alright, you can make a few int checks in the Portal-base library. By the way, it's been over 2 days. Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 16
R�senfeld	int checks
H. Knight	i wish we had telephones
Drufle (GM)	Of you guys just sitting in the libraries, studying.
Drumun	I still pass
Drufle (GM)	Yep. And I won't bother with KP for this. What exactly did you want to know?
Drumun	either how they're made and how to find who made them
Drufle (GM)	Ah, ok.
Drumun	or, better yet, how to not get trapped on the other side when we close it but we'll go with the former for now
R�senfeld	uh, the trifecta can do that so don't worry about that
Drumun	the portal has nothing to do with the relics, Russ like, literally nothing
Drufle (GM)	No, but you can ignore the portal with the relics.
R�senfeld	i was under the impression that the relics will let us walk through the dimensional walls as it were
Drufle (GM)	At least for purposes of entry.
R�senfeld	once united, anyway
Drumun	they will, but that won't close the portal
R�senfeld	did i misunderstand?
Drufle (GM)	No, you were correct. Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0
R�senfeld	no but i mean once the portal is closed we can use them to walk back
Rose	nope
Drumun	that's why I wanted to focus on the former aspect the closing
Drufle (GM)	So, with all this knowledge, you find it's relatively easy to determine the creator of a portal.
R�senfeld	ok, i still dont' get what you're arguing against me for lol I just said don't worry about how to not get trapped
H. Knight	can I go look at engineering?
Drufle (GM)	Uh, sure.
H. Knight	ok Intellect Challenge Roll 6 nope
Drufle (GM)	By performing a relatively simple ritual upon a portal from the side it was created, you can determine its creator.
Drumun	Drumun would also like a look at Lycanthropy
H. Knight	oh well I was wanting to find a way to turn the sunset song into a u-boat
Drufle (GM)	pffft Drumun: Intellect Challenge Roll 13 lookin into wareboarness Origins and control and whatnot
Drufle (GM)	I mean, you find pretty much all the information on the Tooth and Claw pdf.
Drumun	Drumun doesn't have that PDF
Drufle (GM)	You can kill the person who gave it to you to cure it, there's certain plants and spells that can cure it. Stuff like that.
Drumun	so I'm asking if he learns this about it
R�senfeld	you mean you didn't invite drumun to the telegram group yet? rude
Drumun	not cures, just its origins
Drufle (GM)	Uhhhh.
Drumun	Drumun doesn't own Telegram I tried to convince him
Drufle (GM)	I mean, if you mean the origin of lycanthropy itself, I'm not sure I can help you with that.
Drumun	dang it that's what Drumun wanted
R�senfeld	is it just a Fact of Life in this universe?
Drumun	if he learned everything else then fine
Drufle (GM)	I'm not even sure the origin has a canon answer.
Drumun	well you can make one up in that case
R�senfeld	wolf girls gone wild
Rose	the answer is....... lifes a bitch
Drumun	but yeah, Drumun finding the PDF is enough for him
Drufle (GM)	I'd assume it was a curse of the Old Gods. Drumun reads this strange scroll called Tooth and Claw
Drumun	"What do all these numbers mean?"
R�senfeld	"Probably just reference notes for the authors.' "Meaningless to us,'
Drumun	"What is "-1 Int" though?" "Ah dun...ah dun understand"
R�senfeld	hahaha
Drufle (GM)	Alright then, you hear a voice over the magic intercom. H. Knight finds the Shadow Of The Demon Lord booklet and collapses into a singularity
Rose	oooh
R�senfeld	"Probably has something to do with that fourth wall, Drumun."
Magic Secretary	"Hello, Mr. Rusenfeld and company? There's a call for you at the front door."
R�senfeld	"A call?" H. Knight Uncollapses
Drumun	"Ah hope whoever's on the other side of that wall gets this better than me" "Eh?"
H. Knight	"Front Door?"
R�senfeld	"Guess we should go see what that's about."
Drumun	"Um...ya?" Rose pulls her bow up again
Magic Secretary	"Yes, it's, uh, some kind of monster that would like you all to leave the Tower posthaste."
H. Knight	"... Tell It To Come Back Tomorrow."
Drumun	"Would that be a security threat ye need dealin with or wut?"
R�senfeld	inb4 literally a monster asking us to leave
Magic Secretary	"Well, it has informed us that they will begin assaulting the tower if we do not expel the group of you immediately."
R�senfeld	hahaha
Drumun	"We'll check it out..."
Rose	if its on their doorstep, isn't it their problem
H. Knight	"Oh Very Well"
Drumun	"sigh"
R�senfeld	"We'll comply." R�senfeld to himself "and I'm gonna kill that thing in the process."
Drufle (GM)	As you exit the front door, you see a rather concerning sight.
Drumun	"Thanks fer lettin us use yer library!"
Rose	,my mother ?
H. Knight	ohhh
Drumun	Manticore
H. Knight	a chimera
R�senfeld	would that be a concerning sight?
Rose	yes
Drumun	and
Drufle (GM)	A manticore and two drakes stand in front of the library.
Drumun	something
H. Knight	oh alright then
R�senfeld	the manticore cn speak? can* Rose is preparing to shoot
Drumun	"Alright alright what'ya want?"
H. Knight	oh yes
Drufle (GM)	It's actually horrifying, and you get a bane on the roll because there's multiple monsters.
H. Knight	man-faced beast ok Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 14 R�senfeld: Will Challenge Roll 5 ouch.
Drufle (GM)	Yikes. H. Knight: Will Challenge Roll 11 Drumun is not really surprised anymore
Drufle (GM)	1 insanity for Ruse.
R�senfeld	apparently I'm shaken Rose: Will Challenge Roll 0
Drufle (GM)	For rounds equal to your new insanity total, yes.
H. Knight	oh nooooo
Drumun	I'm surprised that a drake would be horifying
R�senfeld	fear for 3 rounds?
Rose	damn
Drufle (GM)	And 1 insanity for Rose.
R�senfeld	I have had fear so little in this game that I don't remember how it works.
Drumun	"Well, speak up"
Drufle (GM)	The monster growls deeply at you, and then roars.
R�senfeld	bane on attack/challenge rolls?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
Drumun	"That ain't speakin"
Drufle (GM)	And you can only go slow.
H. Knight	"Well Then."
Rose	not a problem for me
Drumun	I focus Qi H. Knight cracks his knuckles
R�senfeld	oh. Well no worries, i'll 1hko the manticore. :)
H. Knight	"Let's Dance."
Drufle (GM)	The manticore grins its horrible human-like grin, and says "Death Time"
Drumun	and I guess transform all before initiative "short yeah, death time..."
Drufle (GM)	So, who's going fast?
Drumun	I guess tanks need to get in position
H. Knight	yeah
R�senfeld	(drufle in the future are you able to make enounters horizontal? my resolution isn't great for vertical spaces)
Drufle (GM)	Uh. Yeah, I suppose.
Rose	so am i scared or not?
Drufle (GM)	You are.
R�senfeld	I'm almost completeld zoomed out just so I can see the entire battlefield
Drumun	I guess I'll go fast and cast Oak Hide on myself
Drufle (GM)	For rounds equal to your new insanity total.
R�senfeld	does fear disable TAs?
Drumun	since I didn't have time to do that before the fight
Drufle (GM)	No.
R�senfeld	cool
Rose	so 3 rounds of slow then, no problem
Drufle (GM)	HK are you going fast?
Drumun	I'm fully buffed now, I think
R�senfeld	how do i pray now? I guess i'll ask my spirit to help?
Drufle (GM)	Probably.
Drumun	this Manticore probably has ranged attacks
H. Knight	how do triggered actions work again? I haven't made one in so long
Drufle (GM)	You just use it if you have an ability that uses them.
H. Knight	oh ok
Drufle (GM)	Unless you mean prepared actions.
H. Knight	ah that too yes
Drufle (GM)	You spend an action to prepare something in response to a trigger.
H. Knight	which is different from a triggered action
Drufle (GM)	And then if it happens in the next turn, you get a boon on your roll.
H. Knight	bot it
Drufle (GM)	T-actions are a kind of action economy. Like swift-actions in pathfinder. Anyway, are you going fast?
H. Knight	just a sec
Drumun	a charge is a move action or a standard action?
Drufle (GM)	Standard.
Drumun	okay
R�senfeld	i'm gonna pray for rose rather than your charge, i think since I expect a higher damage output from her
H. Knight	ok I am fast
Drumun	fear prevents going fast, unfortunately
H. Knight	since I don't know what manticores are capable of, I'll move here
Drufle (GM)	Mhm.
H. Knight	and maintain defense actually is drumun adjacent to me?
Drufle (GM)	No.
H. Knight	now he is
Drumun	I can use a T-Action to get closer if you need me too or that that works too
Drufle (GM)	Alright then, monster fast turns.
H. Knight	oh wait my defender power is "within reach" so I'm fine where I was
R�senfeld	your reach is twice what it is for us right? cuz you're big?
H. Knight	yah
R�senfeld	uh oh
Drumun	Yvonne might have to help us
H. Knight	so I'm taking my action to defend drumum
Drufle (GM)	Alright, the drake on the right is gonna spew a poison breath at Rose and Drumun.
Rose	oh shit, fireball?
Drumun	uh oh
Drufle (GM)	So make an AGI save.
Rose	against agi? Drumun: Agility Challenge Roll 16 Rose: Agility Challenge Roll 0
Drufle (GM)	Alright, you both take... rolling d6 ( 6 ) = 6 6 damage.
H. Knight	augh
Drumun	I take half damage
Drufle (GM)	3, right. Sorry.
H. Knight	"Damn, They Have Range"
Rose	is poison like desease?
Drumun	"Poison? Really?"
Drufle (GM)	The manticore is then going to whip its spines at HK. It is not, Rose.
Rose	damn
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+8( 6 )+8 = 14 Hit, so... rolling d6 ( 5 ) = 5 Wait, armor.
Drumun	no armor?
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6( 4 ) = 4 1 damage.
Drumun	okay so what else does it do?
H. Knight	plink aaaaand there's the dinner bell!
Drufle (GM)	I think HK is immune to poison?
H. Knight	Drufle! You have control!
Drumun	yeah uh oh
H. Knight	and yes I am
Drumun	Okay so far
Drufle (GM)	Then you only take... rolling d6 ( 6 ) = 6
Drumun	Manticore doesn't seem to be doing much
Drufle (GM)	6 more damage.
Drumun	6 of what type?
Drufle (GM)	From the corrosive poison.
Drumun	acid?
Drufle (GM)	You don't get the actual poison, but it's still highly acidic.
Drumun	hmmm so acid isn't poison then
Drufle (GM)	The other drake is gonna wait for a slow turn.
Drumun	okay
Drufle (GM)	Rose and Ruse, go ahead.
R�senfeld	rose better go ahead of me so i can pray, giving us both boons for the round
Drumun	no pray?
Rose	whos using poison?
Drufle (GM)	All of them.
Drumun	Russ its slow turns, you can pray now if you want
R�senfeld	now, it has to be triggered no*
Drumun	oh
Rose	which drake has not gone yet?
Drumun	the one on the left
R�senfeld	I have other things I can do when it's actually my turn but probably am gonna be forced to just try damage so as to not waste the boon
Rose	then I'm shooting that one, well I'm arking and shooting seems as I'm going slow
R�senfeld	Now that she's making an attack roll, I use Inspiring Prayer.
Rose	now for muy new rolls, one sec
R�senfeld	so remebmer the extra boon from that
Rose	2 boons and 2 banes = nothing right?
R�senfeld	yeah
Rose	so I'm 1 boon that you just gave me brill
Drumun	magic arrow? Rose: Enchanted Longbow (marked, trickery, dirty tricks) Attack 12 Damage 41
Drufle (GM)	That's a miss.
Drumun	hm
R�senfeld	nooooo
Rose	damn
Drumun	if it arcs, does that land on the ground then?
Drufle (GM)	Also, like.
Rose	does the arrow go boom?
Drufle (GM)	I think we need to take a quick second to go through that 9d6. So you get 2d6 from dirty tricks/trickery. And I'm having trouble figuring where the rest of that comes from.
Rose	marked, trickery, dirty tricks, my new skirmish which is why i had the extra bane. my +2d6 bow
Drufle (GM)	Marked doesn't do any extra damage, it just ads a boon.
Rose	if i had used deadly aim i would have had more but i get bonuses because its marked from the others
Drufle (GM)	So 2d6 from rogue, 2d6 from bow, 1d6 from skirmish. You should be doing only 5d6. Well, 5d6+1.
Rose	I'm sure its more, i was doing 5d6 befor my boy
Drumun	dirty tricks?
Drufle (GM)	She gets 2d6 from trickery and dirty tricks. 1d6 from skirmish.
Rose	enchanted longbow with no marks gives me 6d6
Drufle (GM)	And 2d6+1 with her bow. It'd be 8d6+1 with deadly aim.
Drumun	something went wrong somehwere
Rose	and the skirmish, 1 bane for 1d6 damage
Drumun	but yeah, I agree, 9d6 is far too much damage
Rose	so how many is it?
Drumun	especially compared to everyone else
Drufle (GM)	5d6+1 without deadly aim. 8d6+1 with it. You missed anyway, so we won't worry about it for now. Ruse, what are you doing with your slow turn?
Rose	is that including my bane for the extra 1d6?
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Rose	I'm updating my wepon macro
Drufle (GM)	Is Ruse here?
Drumun	I don't actuall know
Drufle (GM)	I think all our dice talk put him to sleep.
R�senfeld	I'm here. was waiting for you to resolve this
Drufle (GM)	Alright, take your turn then.
Rose	its fixed now
R�senfeld	so, i think i'll divine smite using a casting of Vit. Burst
Drumun	who're you hitting?
R�senfeld	the left drake
Drufle (GM)	Regardless, he doesn't get the double damage, but it'll still be good.
R�senfeld	oh and btw divine strike meant that Rose would've had an extra 1d6 damage :P
Drufle (GM)	Oh geez really?
R�senfeld	yeah
Drufle (GM)	Well go ahead with your shot.
Rose	ok, is that next round aswell?
R�senfeld	nope 1 round but I can trigger gain
Rose	oh
R�senfeld	again* once per round right?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
R�senfeld	anyway I get an extra boon from inspiring prayer, but no extra damage so,. i think no boons or banes for me?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, just the 2d6 from divine smite. R�senfeld: Agility Challenge Roll 6 well shit
Drufle (GM)	Yyyyikes.
R�senfeld	I don't expend the cast, right?
Drufle (GM)	Wait, you get a boon, though. From inspiring prayer.
R�senfeld	bane from fear
Drufle (GM)	Ah. Right. Yeah, you don't expend it. Top of the round!
Drumun	that did not go well rolling 1d6 ( 1 ) = 1
R�senfeld	No. i should've avatared
Drumun	I'll go fast
Drufle (GM)	Gotcha.
Drumun	these guys have range we can't have that
Rose	fast
Drufle (GM)	You can't go fast.
R�senfeld	fear.
Rose	damn
Drufle (GM)	Still scared, I imagine.
R�senfeld	is the little mindkiller
Rose	yes, I'm fairly insane
R�senfeld	how fairly
Drumun	actually
Rose	3
R�senfeld	ok, only this round and one more then
Drumun	if I used something that prevented fear effects
R�senfeld	just like me
Drumun	would that cure fear?
Drufle (GM)	No.
Drumun	fuck seriously?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, it's a general rule in trpgs. Things that prevent conditions can't cure preexisting ones.
Drumun	Fine I'll try my scroll of Song of Inspiration then Intellect Challenge Roll 10 that'll do it so yeah ya'll get +2 boons for a single action
Drufle (GM)	Neat! Ok, uh, HK... Drumun begins singing in a guttural, booming, piggish voice
Drufle (GM)	I can't get within punching range of the manticore without leaving defense range of Drumun. So I'll lance. LANCE Attack 20 Damage 16
Drumun	oh wait hmm
Drufle (GM)	Not the best damage, but alright.
Drumun	song of inspiration works a bit differently each round I pick on person who can hear the song they get 2 boons this lasts as long as I sing
Drufle (GM)	Ah.
Drumun	or rather I can pick someone for each round I sing
Drufle (GM)	So who are you picking for this round?
Drumun	did HK use two boons?
Drufle (GM)	He did, yeah.
Drumun	then I picked him
Drufle (GM)	So I guess him for this round.
Drumun	I think I can sing as I fight just can't cast another spell
Drufle (GM)	Correct.
Drumun	its only rank 1 so I guess it can't be tooooo powerful
Drufle (GM)	So, monster fast turns. The manticore is just gonna charge HK I think.
Drumun	perfect HK can take it
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+8+2d6k1( 17 )+8+( 1 + 3 ) = 28 rolling d20+8+2d6k1 ( 15 )+8+( 5 + 6 ) = 29 rolling d20+8+2d6k1 ( 4 )+8+( 4 + 3 ) = 16 rolling d20+6+2d6k1 ( 14 )+6+( 5 + 3 ) = 25 Four hits.
R�senfeld	um
Drumun	oh hmmm concerning
Drufle (GM)	rolling 4d6-4d6( 4 + 6 + 1 + 6 )-( 1 + 2 + 3 + 1 ) = 10
Drumun	ow
Drufle (GM)	rolling 2d6+1-2d6( 3 + 5 )+1-( 1 + 6 ) = 2 rolling 1d6-1d6 ( 1 )-( 1 ) = 0 rolling d6 ( 3 ) = 3 Total of 15 damage.
Drumun	holy shit
Drufle (GM)	First drake is gonna move up.
Drumun	on a fast turn? okay
Drufle (GM)	Second drake is also gonna move.
Drumun	I see what they're doing
Drufle (GM)	Ruse/Rose, go ahead.
R�senfeld	hm.
Rose	so whats going on now then
Drumun	drakes
Drufle (GM)	For those wondering, this is a diff 450 battle.
Rose	just the same rolls withough the blessing
Drumun	drakes are happening and its trouble I think Russ can keep praying
Drufle (GM)	The drakes are just diff 100, they shouldnt be too much trouble.
R�senfeld	well i can actually also bless you
Drufle (GM)	They're mostly there to mess with you while the manticore does the real damage.
R�senfeld	if i go before you
Drumun	its best to take down as many sources of damage as possible
R�senfeld	and then also pray when oyu attac
Rose	pray for me, do i det an extra d6 damage aswell
Drufle (GM)	Yes. So 6d6+1 If you don't plan on taking aim. And the 1 boon.
R�senfeld	lemme go before you so I can bless you
Rose	ok then, revi8sed damage with everything
R�senfeld	giving you another boon
Rose	ok
Drufle (GM)	Also it's kinda strange that skirmish doesn't actually require you to move.
R�senfeld	and then when you attack i'll trigger the prayer
Drufle (GM)	You're just given the option to.
Rose	brilliant attacking
R�senfeld	2 boons total from my stuff
Rose	2, yay
R�senfeld	1d6 extra damage if you hit is the sum total of my effects on you
Drumun	how are you two for damage?
R�senfeld	i'm completely intact Rose: Enchanted Longbow (marked, trickery, dirty tricks) Attack 18 Damage 24
Drumun	what's your max HP?
Drufle (GM)	Hit, damage taken.
Rose	6 damage to me
Drumun	was this magic arrow?
Drufle (GM)	Wait, left or right drake?
Rose	left
H. Knight	ok who's dead
R�senfeld	42. I think the manticore has the potential to one-shot me.
Drufle (GM)	You took 15 damage, HK.
H. Knight	oof all at once?
Drumun	you might need to eat some drake poison while me and HK deal with the manticore
Drufle (GM)	From a claw-claw-bite-stinger combo.
H. Knight	ok how hurt are the monsters?
Drumun	only two successful hits so far
Drufle (GM)	Manticore took a minor ding, left drake has a good hit.
Rose	but i shot one this time. I'm using big arrows soon
R�senfeld	that's not an issue, next turn I will avatar, depending on ros
H. Knight	damn
R�senfeld	so how's the left drae doing? drake* how's the left dr. drake doing
Drufle (GM)	Not great.
Rose	its hurt bad
Drumun	I can try to finish it off or move in to help HK
R�senfeld	help hk
H. Knight	I'm fine for now
Drumun	the drakes are mooks, but they're poisonous mooks
(From H. Knight)	is that 15 damage halved
R�senfeld	well it's up to you but remember the manticore can 1hko your one healer
(From H. Knight)	already I mean
R�senfeld	and I still have 2 vit. burtsts
Drumun	HK is in the way of the manticore
R�senfeld	you can afford some mook damage he's big you can go right through him isn't that how it works?
(To Moppy)	Oh right, uh, reduce that to 8.
Drumun	I'll be using Flying Kick to do so
(From H. Knight)	eheheheheheh
Drufle (GM)	Only Roy could go through HK.
Drumun	did we end the round, actually?
R�senfeld	isn't Drumun small?
Drufle (GM)	Ruse still needs to go. Oh, and Drumun.
Rose	your archer is next to your healer aswell. the one with the bomb arrows
R�senfeld	I already went I blessed Rose
Drufle (GM)	Oh, you did?
Drumun	end of round?
Drufle (GM)	Ah.
Drumun	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, end of round. One more turn of fear. HK/Drumun?
Rose	yep
Drumun	the issue is that I have no armor and this manticore could probably kill me but I'll do what I can FLYING KICK
Drufle (GM)	Finally. I just, really wanted a flying kick. Drumun leaps over HK and kicks down towards the manticore
R�senfeld	you have bull armor at least +2 def could potentially save you Drumun: Flying Dwarf Kick! Attack 22 Damage 21
Rose	wow
Drufle (GM)	Hit, damage noted.
R�senfeld	Flying Dwarf Kick!!@#$
Drumun	you did see this thing's attack rolls, right?
Drufle (GM)	HK, any attacks?
Drumun	two 1s and two 6s
H. Knight	yeah
Drumun	what a roll
H. Knight	how far away is the drake behind me? 20 ft
Drufle (GM)	15 minimum.
H. Knight	probably too far for the lance, huh
Drumun	3 tiles
Drufle (GM)	It's actually within reach of the lance. Your normal reach is 10 feet, and lance gives +5.
H. Knight	okay then, I activate combat expertise to hit that drake for 4d6
Drufle (GM)	(technically these should all be in yards and not 5-foots but whatever)
Drumun	I'll hold onto my Boons this round
H. Knight	any boons from Russ?
Drumun	they'll be for either Russ or Rose
R�senfeld	uh.. i'mt not close enough to pray for you
Rose	I'm blessed so pass it to rus
R�senfeld	hm
H. Knight	ok so 1
R�senfeld	wait
Drumun	Russ, are you attacking?
R�senfeld	i might be able to reach it's within short range prayer is
Rose	one more round and i get my normal ones
R�senfeld	so I can trigger prayer for your attacks
Rose	yes and the song goes to someone else
R�senfeld	ok well i'll pray for HK then
Drufle (GM)	So, 2 more boons and 1d6 more damage for HK?
R�senfeld	you get a boon, and if you attack with a weapon you get the extra 1d6 damage
H. Knight	alright so then
Drufle (GM)	1 more boon, right.
H. Knight	is the right drake in reach?
Drufle (GM)	No.
H. Knight	with the lance alright then
Drumun	our focus should probably be the manticor
Drufle (GM)	Just slightly too far.
Drumun	that's most likely to kill us
H. Knight	I'll use combat expertise to hit the drake behind me, and then the manticore
R�senfeld	you only get boon+damage on ONE of those decide which from my prayer I mean
H. Knight	the manty
Rose	hopfully ill kill the one looking right at us with an arrow in its gut
R�senfeld	hopefully
Drufle (GM)	Make your two attack rolls, then. H. Knight: LANCE Attack 14 Damage 22
R�senfeld	but even if not i can help us survive some poison
H. Knight	-4d6
Drufle (GM)	That is a miss.
H. Knight	wait -1d6 oh no!
Drufle (GM)	And your second attack?
H. Knight	mule kick on the manticore
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead.
R�senfeld	does that count as a weapon?
Drumun	the mighty unarmed strike team our Bodies are weapons, russ
Drufle (GM)	(im sorry im not giving more small guys to throw around theres not many small things in the higher difficulties) H. Knight: THROW/PUNCH/KICK Attack 12 Damage 26
Drumun	we are trained
Drufle (GM)	Also a miss.
H. Knight	aughhh
Drufle (GM)	You rolled a 3 and a 4 on those dice. That's really unfortunate.
Drumun	I forsee some problems
Drufle (GM)	Monster fast turns! Rose pulls out a meteor arrow
Drufle (GM)	Left drake is gonna poison breath Ruse/Rose. And technically Yvonne.
Drumun	she should either get out of the way or help this is dangerous Rose: Agility Challenge Roll 0
Drufle (GM)	Hey, wait.
Drumun	we kinda want her to live
Drufle (GM)	Ruse is immune to poison, isn't he? Being a paladin and all.
Drumun	oh well then
Rose	i failed my agi
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6( 6 ) = 6
R�senfeld	correct divine vigor
Drumun	I think you chose the wrong element to bring
Drufle (GM)	Here's 6 damage for Rose. And also Rose you need to make a STR check with a bane. Rose: Strength Challenge Roll 0 nope
Drumun	oh
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6( 3 ) = 3 You take another 3 damage.
R�senfeld	yeesh
Drufle (GM)	You are also poisoned for 1 minute, which does nothing by itself.
R�senfeld	right everyone tell me what their damage status is like
Rose	15 damage
H. Knight	I'm in the green
Drumun	currently unharmed
Drufle (GM)	The poisoned status in this game basically just acts like Pokemon's Venoshock.
H. Knight	8/56
Drufle (GM)	If you're "poisoned", you take more damage from poison attacks.
Rose	15/42
Drumun	uhhh
Rose	and poisoned i better kill this fucker
Drumun	HK wut is that damage?
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Drumun	you've been hit pretty hard
Drufle (GM)	Half damage from his carapace. I forgot that.
Drumun	oh okay
Drufle (GM)	Doesn't block the acid damage, but still. Speaking of which, the manticore goes. H. Knight prepares for a beating
Drufle (GM)	Two claws and a bite at HK, the stinger's gonna go for Drumun.
Drumun	great
Rose	phew
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+8+2d6k1( 14 )+8+( 2 + 1 ) = 24 rolling d20+8+2d6k1 ( 12 )+8+( 4 + 3 ) = 24 rolling d20+8+2d6k1 ( 4 )+8+( 2 + 2 ) = 14 All hits on HK.
Drumun	ow now for god damn acid poison

Drumun	tail ain't goin for him
R�senfeld	so 2 damage? hahahahaha
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+6+2d6k1( 2 )+6+( 6 + 2 ) = 14
Drumun	hmmm nah
Rose	tank time
Drufle (GM)	Not a hit on Drumun, 2 really?

H. Knight	it's not nice since I haven't hit it yet
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, the right drake is going slow. Ruse/Rose, go ahead.
H. Knight	oh boy
Drumun	you did hit it!
H. Knight	shoot it shoot it shoot it
Rose	meteor arrow at left
Drumun	you were the first one to do so
H. Knight	cool
Drufle (GM)	Oh right, while he was gone.
Drumun	is Russ attacking?
Drufle (GM)	I lanced the manticore.
R�senfeld	i can vit-burst if you guys want
Rose	am i blessed or anything?
Drufle (GM)	You are blessed, yeah. For 4 more rounds I believe.
Drumun	if you're not attacking then Rose is getting these boons
R�senfeld	yeah 1 minute duration
Drumun	I'm not wasting them
R�senfeld	i can't pray for you tho
Rose	I'm shooting so?
Drumun	Rose you get 2 boons from me
R�senfeld	i already prayed for HK
Rose	more bonuses with the explosive arrow the better
Drufle (GM)	You get 2 boons from Drumun.
R�senfeld	pls don't miss and hit me instead lo lol* if crit misses were a thing
Drumun	that would be equal parts hilarious and unfortunate
H. Knight	when are we stopping btw
Rose	so I'm blessed for 1 min so i have 1 from that? and then another 2 or just 2?
Drumun	3 total
R�senfeld	blessed for another 4 rounds, but yes
Drufle (GM)	I assumed once we finish the fight, but we can stop earlier if necessary.
Drumun	this fight...shouldn't take too long we talk too much
Rose	so that's 1 and and extra 1d6 damage?
Drufle (GM)	No extra damage, just 3 boons.
H. Knight	if it's not over in half an hour I'd like to pause it for next time
R�senfeld	alright let's finish this then
Drufle (GM)	I cannot guarantee this will be over in 30 minutes, but we can try.
Drumun	double time lets go Rose: Enchanted Longbow (marked, trickery, dirty tricks) Attack 12 Damage 14
Drufle (GM)	Miss. Ruse?
H. Knight	oh for god's sake
R�senfeld	divine smite using minor heal left drake
Rose	i need to remove this fucking fear then i will be buffed up by bless
H. Knight	ahh
Rose	does the metior arrow do nothing to the drake?
Drufle (GM)	Oh right, the meteor.
R�senfeld	fear will be gone next turn next round*
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+3+d6( 11 )+3+( 2 ) = 16 He passes, so half damage. rolling 2d6+2 ( 2 + 2 )+2 = 6 3 damage to the drake.

Drufle (GM)	A massive wave of force bursts from near the manticore, slinging the drake back.
H. Knight	oh it's knocked back
Rose	stunned?
Drumun	I'd say thanks but I can't stop signing
R�senfeld	haha
Rose	lol
Drufle (GM)	No, just 5d6 and a push.

R�senfeld	it really isn't
Drufle (GM)	You have medium armor, right?
R�senfeld	i have total heal
Drumun	I have nothing Drufle I'm a Mystic
Drufle (GM)	Oh, right.
Drumun	I can't WEAR armor
Drufle (GM)	rolling 2d6+1( 3 + 6 )+1 = 10 There's your damage then.
H. Knight	yer fine
R�senfeld	you can go down to 1 health and I can still full heal you
Drumun	its cool I regen
Drufle (GM)	And then drake is just gonna charge at HK.
R�senfeld	i'm just saying don't worry about the poison :P
H. Knight	"Is Everyone Alright Back T-OOF"
Drumun	its the acid that worries me
R�senfeld	is that particularly effective on you?
Drumun	I resist poison
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+6+d6( 7 )+6+( 1 ) = 14 rolling d20+6+d6 ( 19 )+6+( 4 ) = 29
Rose	i think I'm going to do something a little crasy
Drufle (GM)	Two hits...
Drumun	Acid doesn't care about my poison resist though
Drufle (GM)	rolling 4d6-4d6( 6 + 3 + 6 + 5 )-( 2 + 1 + 6 + 2 ) = 9 5 damage.
Rose	. seems as I'm now insane 3
H. Knight	ow!
Drumun	wait
Drufle (GM)	And no poison for you. Rose draws her sword
Drumun	did you go over your Will in insanity?
Drufle (GM)	No, she didn't.
Rose	nope
Drumun	okay
Drufle (GM)	Or at least, I hope not. So, uh, end of round I think?
Drumun	yeah that'd be the worst thing to happen period
Drufle (GM)	Oh wait, no.
Rose	no i started the game at 2 and now I'm 3
Drumun	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Drufle (GM)	Rose needs to go I think.
R�senfeld	i need to pray for someone so i can have another boon
Rose	i went first
Drumun	I'm going fast to keep attacking
Drufle (GM)	Oh, nevermind then. Top of the round.
Drumun	I'm doing okay so far
Rose	can i charge with backstab?
Drumun	still singing I think
R�senfeld	oh shit druf did we rest in between reading sessions
Drumun	does that even do more damage than your bow?
Drufle (GM)	You can only charge and backstab if someone gives you a boon. Uh, maybe Ruse? I would imagine so.
Drumun	we had to have rested
H. Knight	no it doesn't but shes
R�senfeld	alright good
Drumun	it was multiple days
H. Knight	being "crazy" now roleplaying her new insanity score
R�senfeld	i can pray for a charge can't i?
H. Knight	despite not being scared anymore
R�senfeld	which technically gives her a boon
Rose	if i shoot i have to go slow to mark. backstab would mean fast damage
Drumun	3 insanity isn't that bad
H. Knight	or that thats fine
Drufle (GM)	You can, Ruse.
R�senfeld	is that enough to let her backstab?
Drumun	fast damage isn't better than slow damage
Drufle (GM)	As long as she has 1 boon.
H. Knight	it's earlier damage turn order man
R�senfeld	go for it, i'm gonna be bringing down the thunder on the manticore anyway
H. Knight	its important
R�senfeld	the boon will he me out help*
Drumun	I'll give Russ my boons as well
R�senfeld	ah shit i might need to reload tho
Drumun	oh hmmm
R�senfeld	fuck no way t oget that as a TA?
Drumun	while you guys are messing around I'll just kick the manticore again Flying Dwarf Kick! Attack 18 Damage 23
Drufle (GM)	Hit.
Drumun	look at that damage roll what even is that
Rose	so am i charging
R�senfeld	it's pretty charge, i'll pray
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead, Rose.
Drumun	its Christmas up in there so can Russ attack this turn?
Rose	backstab and sword does how much damage
R�senfeld	yes I can if i go slow i'll use my staff
Drumun	go slow then
R�senfeld	forgoing 1d6 damage and i have to walk up to the manticore but i'll do a LOT of damage
Drumun	okay then
Drufle (GM)	3d6+2, Rose.
Drumun	stay in reach of HK you'll need his defender Rose: Short Sword Attack 23 Damage 10
Drumun	You are SO lucky Drumun can't talk right now
H. Knight	nice hit, not so nice damage
Drufle (GM)	Make your EO roll.
Rose	?
H. Knight	exploit opportunity remember that?
Drufle (GM)	You rolled over 20 and were 5 above his DEF. So you get another turn.
R�senfeld	wow
Drumun	I think its 2d6 this time though
Rose	oh yes whats the extra damage
Drufle (GM)	Just 2d6+2.
R�senfeld	come on doubles double 6s
Rose	rolling 2d6+2( 6 + 3 )+2 = 11
R�senfeld	good enough
Drufle (GM)	Stabby stabby.
Drumun	you uh...still have to attack
Drufle (GM)	Oh yeah, she didn't roll to hi.
R�senfeld	oh is that how it works
Rose	woops
Drufle (GM)	Should probably do that first.
Drumun	yeah
R�senfeld	you're still blessed
Drumun	no prayer, still blessed
R�senfeld	yeah no prayer just blessing boon, no extra damage Rose: Short Sword Attack 9 Damage 8
Drufle (GM)	Nevermind on that one.
Rose	nope

Drufle (GM)	Did HK go already?
Drumun	I didn't give her boons
R�senfeld	oh
Drumun	You have them
R�senfeld	ok then
Drufle (GM)	Ruse can go in the meantime if he wants.
R�senfeld	i'm slow t urn are we in slow?
Drufle (GM)	Ah. No, not yet.
Drumun	HK has not gone yet
Drufle (GM)	I assume HK is going fast. ... eventually.
R�senfeld	hahaha
Drumun	we need to keep this going if we want to finish it
R�senfeld	it's already been about 30 minuets oh rip
Drufle (GM)	Whoops.
Drumun	yeah he's gone
Drufle (GM)	There he goes.
Rose	oh
Drumun	lets at least finish the round
R�senfeld	well we need to finish this round at least so that we have a logical stopping point
Drumun	so we arn't confused when we pick this up
R�senfeld	yeah
Drufle (GM)	I'll take HK's turn.
Drumun	I assume he'll want to attack the drake and manticore
Drufle (GM)	Yeah. DRAKE PUNCH
Drumun	they're both in Unarmed range
Rose	same as befor lance and kick? Drufle (GM): THROW/PUNCH/KICK Attack 14 Damage 14
Drumun	Kick and kick
Drufle (GM)	Missed that one.
Drumun	oh
Drufle (GM)	MANTICORE PUNCH THROW/PUNCH/KICK Attack 30 Damage 25
Drumun	oh
R�senfeld	30!!@%$#^%@#^&
Drufle (GM)	Yikes.
Drumun	I see
Rose	wow
R�senfeld	fucking 30!
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6( 5 ) = 5
Drumun	nat 20 with a 6 boon
R�senfeld	plus the str mod yeah my god that's insane
Rose	attack 30!!!
Drufle (GM)	Apparently HK just revolves round and explodes the manticore's face with his fist.
Drumun	that could not have gone better
Rose	fuck
Drumun	wait that killed it!? holy shit
Drufle (GM)	He did 30 damage in one hit.
Drumun	I thought it would've lived even longer alright finish the drake
Drufle (GM)	That was like, 20% of its total health.
Drumun	lets end this
R�senfeld	25
Drumun	Wowowowowow
R�senfeld	30 was the attack roll
Drufle (GM)	Drake's gonna munch on Rose. Drumun is in utter disbelief
Rose	eat me!
R�senfeld	ahahahaha you're wild, sam Rose flips drake the bird
Drumun	you uh might actually get eaten
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+6( 10 )+6 = 16 rolling d20+6 ( 9 )+6 = 15 Hits, I think?
Rose	i don't know
R�senfeld	wb mopp
Moppy	sorry about that everyone
R�senfeld	you just crushed the manticore
Moppy	lost connection!
Drufle (GM)	I used HK's defender power to somewhat protect Rose.
Drumun	Mopp you killed a manticor
Moppy	yay!!
Drufle (GM)	They both hit you, Rose.
Drumun	you did over 30 damage in a single attack
Rose	ok
Drufle (GM)	What armor are you wearing, medium?
Moppy	oh good
Drumun	and you rolled a 30 on attack to hit
Moppy	woww
Rose	is that with my +2 armour?
Drumun	utterly destroyed the manticore
Drufle (GM)	I think so, yeah.
Moppy	this would not have happened if I'd been making the roll lol
Drufle (GM)	rolling 4d6-4d3( 2 + 6 + 5 + 6 )-( 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 ) = 13
R�senfeld	hahaha
Drufle (GM)	So 13 damage, and...
R�senfeld	ooof
Drumun	ouch
H. Knight	even with the bane?
Drufle (GM)	I need you to make a STR check with a bane.
H. Knight	from my defender
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
H. Knight	?
R�senfeld	don't worry i'll probably end this before I even need to heal you
H. Knight	wow
Drufle (GM)	They have natural boons. Rose: Strength Challenge Roll 0
Drumun	not good
Drufle (GM)	YYYYikes.
R�senfeld	ouch...
H. Knight	nice
Drumun	she was already poisoned I think
Drufle (GM)	rolling 2d6( 2 + 5 ) = 7
H. Knight	or not
Drufle (GM)	There's another 7 damage for you.
H. Knight	how you faring?
Drumun	ow ow ow
Rose	ok I'm now 35/42
R�senfeld	i'm still going to prioritise attacking over healing since I have so many boons on me
H. Knight	yeahhh Russ
R�senfeld	it should end the drake
Rose	attack him
H. Knight	okay ya jerk
Drumun	go whack a drake
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead, Ruse, it's your turn.
R�senfeld	ok so move action
H. Knight	fry this lizard
R�senfeld	then uh.. one sec ok i'll divine smite using wrath of god
Drumun	if you're using a staff it'd be a STR roll to hit
R�senfeld	just in case we need the total heal i can use agi
Drumun	oh Rose is showing signs of fatigue, but the battle fury is burning through her veins life fire, or is that the poison?
Drumun	nvm go ahead
R�senfeld	it's why i picked the staff to begin with Finesse love it
Drumun	neat
R�senfeld	so let's see i have 1 boon from inspiring prayer
Drumun	big money, no whamies
R�senfeld	1 boon from avatar 2 boons from song?
Drumun	yeah R�senfeld: Agility Challenge Roll 13 no fear-OH GOD WHY
Drumun	sigh top of the round?
Drufle (GM)	Alright, Yvonne to the rescue apparently. rolling d20+5+d6 ( 2 )+5+( 6 ) = 13 Hit...
R�senfeld	how is THAT a hit
Drumun	pffft
H. Knight	did you just
Drumun	its magic verses a stat rather than defense
Drufle (GM)	DEF and STR are literally their only good stats. Their AGI, their mental stats, garbage. So now he's small!
Drumun	well then
R�senfeld	lmao what?!
Drufle (GM)	Er, normal sized. Drumun flexes his knees
Drufle (GM)	Human sized instead of HK sized.
Rose	FAST
R�senfeld	what does that do?
Drumun	DWARVEN FLYING KICK
H. Knight	makes him weaker!
R�senfeld	also yeah fast
H. Knight	also fast
R�senfeld	i'm just gonna do the exact same thing again Drumun: Flying Dwarf Kick! Attack 24 Damage 25
Drufle (GM)	Halves all weapon damage, he makes STR-related rolls with a bane and AGI-related rolls with a boon.
R�senfeld	nevermind
H. Knight	we all just dogp hm
Drumun	rolling 1d6( 6 ) = 6 holy shit
Rose	wow game over
R�senfeld	gg
Drufle (GM)	Not actually a kill. But lots of damage.
Rose	what
H. Knight	dragon kick your ass into the milky way! (milky wayyyy) Drumun slams down on top of the drake
Drufle (GM)	He was hardly touched when he came up to you guys!
H. Knight	ok so I'll just
R�senfeld	oh ok well hk ? :P
Rose	do i have a boon?
R�senfeld	i can pray for whomever wants it
Rose	me
Drumun	I'll give 2 boons to whoever attacks next
R�senfeld	and... blessing for another round i think

Drumun	"Nice work everyone"
R�senfeld	i total heal rose in the aftermath
Drumun	"That went rather well" Rose collapses to the floor
Drumun	"Didn't even last a minute"
H. Knight	"Rose! Are You Alright?" R�senfeld places a hand on rose's head and closes his eyes
Rose	pain
Drumun	"We best be leaving"
Drufle (GM)	You hear the Magic Intercom (tm) from above.
Drumun	"Whoever sent those knows we're here" R�senfeld channels the spirit's power to heal Rose
Magic Secretary	"Thank you for your assistance, it was most appreciated."
R�senfeld	"There. That should do it."
Rose	wht does that heal?
Drumun	oh shit they saw me in Pig Form oh well
R�senfeld	all damage :)
H. Knight	"Thank You For Your Assistance, Sir or Madam."
R�senfeld	Total Healing
Rose	thanks Rose hugs rus
H. Knight	:3
Drufle (GM)	So, uh, that'll be the end of level 8!
H. Knight	yayyy
R�senfeld	"..yeah, don't worry about it."
Drumun	well damn
Rose	YES
Drumun	that was a neat fight
R�senfeld	level 9 give us anything good?
H. Knight	still haven't used King's slam!
Drumun	hey druf guess what
Drufle (GM)	Actually it does, Ruse.
Drumun	you finally hit Drumun congrats
Drufle (GM)	I know! It was great. That manticore is an awful thing.
Drumun	though
Drufle (GM)	So for Rose...
Drumun	I'm back to 2 damage total
Rose	that thing hurts
Drufle (GM)	Rose gets +4 health. Anything she marks cannot hide from her and takes 1d6 more damage.
Drumun	guys guys
Rose	rolling 46/446/4 = 11.5
Drumun	I get more Power this level
R�senfeld	omg I'm power 5
Drufle (GM)	And whenever her mark moves, she can use a t-action to move half her speed. H. Knight shoves the bodies off the balcony
Drufle (GM)	To chase them. The bodies dissolve into the red goo.
Rose	so i get an extra 1d6 now?
H. Knight	oh yeah sorry I forgot
Drufle (GM)	Against your marks, Rose.
Rose	if i shoot them ive marked them
Drufle (GM)	Ruse gets 4 health and 1 power. And 1 spell. And a power called Holy Radiance. You use an action or t-action to create an aura of light twice your power in radius. It moves with you and lasts 6 rounds.
Drumun	oh shit that's cool
R�senfeld	dude that's nice i can prevent fear completely by TAing before the fight starts
Drufle (GM)	All allies in the aura cannot be frightened, and make saves with 1 boon.
H. Knight	well dang
Drufle (GM)	Any "monsters" have a bane on all rolls while in the aura. Monsters being demons, devils, ghosts, etc. You can use it 5 times a day.
H. Knight	we gettin the good stuff now
Drufle (GM)	HK becomes even more ridiculously invincible.
R�senfeld	the REALLY good stuff is my power 5 spell though
Drufle (GM)	He takes half damage while below half health. Also, +6 health.
R�senfeld	holy shit tank mode double ultra
H. Knight	you may recall my ablative coat makes me take half damage when ABOVE half health
Drumun	completely unstoppable now
Drufle (GM)	Drumun gets 4 health and 1 power, and can focus qi as a t-action.
Drumun	Qi Strike now does more damage than flying kick
H. Knight	what's the juggernaut power called?
Drufle (GM)	Pain don't Hurt
H. Knight	thanku
Drufle (GM)	I assume Ruse is gonna take Fire from Heaven?
R�senfeld	yeah you guys wanna see why I'm gonna take that and not resurrection? Flames spread through the area and deal 7d6 damage to each creature in it. A creature that gets a success on a Will challenge roll takes half the damage. Any creature incapacitated by this damage disappears, erased from the fabric of reality.
Drufle (GM)	Well, you're forced to take Resurrection at level 10 anyway.
R�senfeld	I am?
Drufle (GM)	Or some other life spell.
R�senfeld	oh neat
Drufle (GM)	Because you get your Healer level. You can only choose a spell from that school. But yeah, fire from heaven. He neglected to mention that attack hits a 5-tile radius cylinder. And can be fired within extreme range.
R�senfeld	did I not copy that? woops
H. Knight	summon the divine tornado
R�senfeld	but yeah I can artillery the hell out of shit
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, that was 4.5 hours!
R�senfeld	and if it goes prone, poof! it disappears forever
Drufle (GM)	2 of which was a battle apparently. So that'll be all for today.
H. Knight	good game everyone
Drufle (GM)	Next time, we return to Bastion.
