Drufle (GM)	Neat, everyone has colored pogs now. Very convenient.
Aerlin	We are very handsome.
Drufle (GM)	Well this is session 3, hopefully you fools don't die horribly. You won't. I promise.
Rochelle Gwerm	that last fight was a fluke I demand a rematch
Drufle (GM)	Except maybe Rochelle.
Aerlin	I mean, I'll take care of everyone.
Drufle (GM)	Rochelle might die.
Rochelle Gwerm	How dare
Aerlin	No one dies on my watch.
Rochelle Gwerm	if you weren't incorporeal I'd smack you with this club
Aerlin	Except for the hundreds of people in that town.
Drufle (GM)	Oof.
Navaya	aerlin is not a ghost
Rochelle Gwerm	I meant the GM ya goof
G'hesh Nhot	I'm back and my character sheet has actually loaded
Drufle (GM)	I'm untouchable.
Navaya	oh good
Drufle (GM)	Too Powerful.
Aerlin	Keep it open, you can minimise it
Rochelle Gwerm	I will find a way
Drufle (GM)	Let's get a move on, for the time being. And hopefully not make too much progress because I don't have the next full map set out yet.
Rochelle Gwerm	oop s
Drufle (GM)	Last time, the party fumbled their way around an angry skeledwarf until Nhot decided to vaporize it. Rochelle Gwerm looks rather upset from that battle. She's got a strong grip on her weapon
Aerlin	Who knew skeletons can't take a hit?
Rochelle Gwerm	wasn't it a crit?
Anevia Tirablade	"I'll admit, that was a pretty rough battle, but we should get moving soon."
Drufle (GM)	It was, yes.
Aerlin	It's almost like having no skin or muscle is a bad idea.
Navaya	who knew skeletons can't take a crit
Rochelle Gwerm	"It was a fluke..." "I coulda taken that any other day" G'hesh Nhot is still wondering where her plaything went
Drufle (GM)	So, unless anyone has any particular complaints, I'm gonna move the party ahead.
Aerlin	"I agree, a fun detour, but let's get back on track."
G'hesh Nhot	I still think she was using the blunt end before
Navaya	"let's get outta this tomb already!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Fine by me"
Navaya	well she smashed him through the wall sharp end don't do that
G'hesh Nhot	"next battle"
Rochelle Gwerm	um, where is all the loot that was in the backpack? is that written down somewhere?
Navaya	Aerlin has it
Drufle (GM)	Should be in Rochelle's inventory...
Aerlin	It's in the backpack, which you're carrying. Navaya has the Cure potion from it though. I took one of the cure potions from this last battle.
Rochelle Gwerm	I had a brooch and...the ring? who had the ring?
G'hesh Nhot	"bigger opponent....... glory in battle"
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I guess I just didn't write everything in here.
Aerlin	There was one more, which I think you're carrying, Rochelle.
Rochelle Gwerm	I think I should just do that now before I forget
Drufle (GM)	So the trip forward is long and arduous; you're quite a ways underground still. There's a passageway due south from your position, and you wander through it for a solid 40 minutes, the path only slightly ascending.
Aerlin	I hope our injured friends here are okay, what with their broken legs and eyes and such.
Drufle (GM)	Wow, did the music really already break?
Aerlin	I still hear it.
Rochelle Gwerm	I can hear it
Drufle (GM)	I'm gonna have to reload, something's funky.
Aerlin	This happened to me last session, after about 30 minutes the music just showed up again.
G'hesh Nhot	I can hear it
Drufle (GM)	Good, better. G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Longsword (1H) Attack 14 vs AC Damage 7 Type: S
Rochelle Gwerm	um
G'hesh Nhot	ahh that's how this works
Navaya	yeh it's good G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Strength
Check: 8
Drufle (GM)	Eventually, you come into a cavern; stone figures line the wall, each one a different crusader with armor and weapon, but every one expressing some amount of sadness. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 12
G'hesh Nhot	that will be a lot easier
Rochelle Gwerm	percieve?
Drufle (GM)	Now if only I could remember how to force cameras to me.
Aerlin	Bottom left.
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, basically.
Aerlin	I've already scrolled over. "What interesting statues..." I ask the others if they know what these are.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Wonder what they're sad about"
Aerlin	Or who they are, I guess. "They do look rather gloom.
Aravashnial	"Statues, hm? How old are they?" Rochelle Gwerm pokes one of the statues
Aerlin	Anyone here know their rocks espeically well?
Drufle (GM)	You can roll... whatever Knowledge (history) is now.
Aerlin	I could roll Society?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, that's the one.
Rochelle Gwerm	I have zero in knowledge checks so I can't
Aerlin	14 + 9, 23
Drufle (GM)	Geez. Well with a roll that good, you learn what Vash would've told you anyways.
G'hesh Nhot	that's one rock knower
Drufle (GM)	These are likely from the era of the First Crusade, when Mendev decided to retaliate against the newly-opened Worldwound.
Aerlin	"The first crusade was a while back. We're on the fifth one, now, I believe."
Drufle (GM)	You recall an old theory, stating that the first crusaders, back before they understood proper demonic defenses, returned from the battles with demonic mutations, and so disappeared somewhere.
Navaya	"so where are we? in the city's catacombs?"
Aravashnial	"Not catacombs, no; Kenabres has no such thing."
Navaya	"and why was there an undead dwarf down here if yes?" "oh okay..."
Drufle (GM)	(figured out camera movement)
Rochelle Gwerm	"What's the point of all this anyways then?" "Its just a bunch of carved rocks"
Aerlin	"If those crusaders did disappear, perhaps this is where they ended up." "Not the nicest location." "Very dusty..."
Aravashnial	"Indeed! These may well be carved by those crusaders' children, in fact."
G'hesh Nhot	"we fight these"
Navaya	"that's...disquieting"
Aerlin	"If they animate, yes, Nhot."
Navaya	"what if those kids live down here?" G'hesh Nhot gets her sword ready"
G'hesh Nhot	"ANIMATE"
Drufle (GM)	I like how cautious everyone is, just kinda hanging out in the entrance. Rochelle Gwerm stops giving a shit
Aerlin	Well, I'm gonna percept. That's a 1.
Navaya	"Ghesh girl, don't ask to fight statues..."
Aerlin	Never mind.
Drufle (GM)	Right, so then.
Rochelle Gwerm	traps go
Drufle (GM)	You fail to see the black creatures stuck to the ceiling.
Rochelle Gwerm	this time it isn't the dang fairy okay I made a perception check ages ago with a 12
G'hesh Nhot	"FIGHT"
Drufle (GM)	And it wasn't good enough!
Rochelle Gwerm	you said nothing though
G'hesh Nhot	I couldn't find it
Rochelle Gwerm	"Oh! Hello!"
Drufle (GM)	Would've been equivalent to saying "You see nothing."
Navaya	and you didn't give me time >:T
Drufle (GM)	Gotta throw the rolls out whenever you can, my dude.
Rochelle Gwerm	"You little gnats wanna go?"
Drufle (GM)	Initiative!
Aerlin	"This cave is just full of life, isn't it...?"
Rochelle Gwerm	what even are they, I can't tell from the pog
Aerlin	I got 8.
Navaya	can I perceive what we're fighting?
Drufle (GM)	They, uh, should be black, but there are no good pogs of these guys. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Initiative
Check: 2
Drufle (GM)	And sure, go ahead. Navaya:
Navaya	Perception Check15 Drufle (GM): default Red Redford : Initiative
Check: 11.04 Rochelle Gwerm takes he time getting ready
Rochelle Gwerm	*her Navaya:
Navaya	Initiative
Check: 9.03
Rochelle Gwerm	I swear this keyboard doesn't work half the time
Aerlin	Hopefully we can avoid getting them all in melee range, would love to actually fire at something.
Rochelle Gwerm	yeah good luck G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Initiative
Check: 12.01
Drufle (GM)	These are darkmantles! You recognize these guys, they're common cave-dwelling beasts that love to prey on things from the ceiling.
Rochelle Gwerm	the two melee fighters are literally right there G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Initiative
Check: 5.01 G'hesh Nhot : Initiative
Check: 17.01 G'hesh Nhot : Initiative
Check: 18.01
Navaya	"Hey guys, these are Darkmantles! try not to look like food!"
G'hesh Nhot	wtf
Navaya	you got it the first time Sam
Rochelle Gwerm	"do they eat rock?"
G'hesh Nhot	i have lag
Navaya	ahah
Aerlin	yay!!
G'hesh Nhot	HUGE lag
Aerlin	thats 5!!! we did it!! so proud
Rochelle Gwerm	hey a full house Navaya:
Navaya	Nature Check19
Aerlin	just in time red, roll init
Navaya	knowledge check on darkmantle behavior/biology
G'hesh Nhot	I'm not going to minimize this so i may need a pog mover
Drufle (GM)	I already did for Red, he'll be going second.
Golurk	brief me up scottty
Rochelle Gwerm	fight time that is all
Aerlin	nothing happened now these G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Wisdom
Check: 15
Drufle (GM)	Darkmantles are pretty normal cave beasts, no particular weaknesses or strengths.
G'hesh Nhot	do i know my enemy
Aerlin	also theres a bunch of sad statues in this room
Drufle (GM)	Very squishy though, like an octopus.
Rochelle Gwerm	I think you'd need a knowledge check
Navaya	do they grab your head though
Drufle (GM)	Nhot is actually up first!
Rochelle Gwerm	nature check rather
Drufle (GM)	They would if they had hit their falling attacks.
Navaya	ahah!
G'hesh Nhot	smash the nearest one
Navaya	"You're lucky they didn't land on your head, actually! They'd screw it off!"
Rochelle Gwerm	go for it dragon girl
Drufle (GM)	Apparently a group of darkmantles is called a clutch, so there's some more info for you. G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Longsword (1H) Attack 14 vs AC Damage 9 Type: S
Drufle (GM)	That is actually a miss!
Rochelle Gwerm	interesting
G'hesh Nhot	grr
Navaya	it blollops out of the way G'hesh Nhot is not happy with moving jelly
Rochelle Gwerm	are they jelly?
Drufle (GM)	Do you want to move at all, Nhot? They're hella squishy.
Navaya	no they're not oozes
Drufle (GM)	But no, they aren't literal jelly.
G'hesh Nhot	can i block the way to the rest of the party
Drufle (GM)	As this creature falls from the cavern roof, it opens like a hideous octopus, its thin, hook-lined tentacles connected by a fleshy web.
G'hesh Nhot	i cannot move my pog as i said earlier
Drufle (GM)	Youuuuuuuu can, yes.
Rochelle Gwerm	you would trigger an AoO
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
Rochelle Gwerm	unless youu 5-foot step
Drufle (GM)	You'd have to take an aoo, you can't 5-foot and move in the same turn.
Rochelle Gwerm	ah interesting
G'hesh Nhot	as i said above i did ask for a pog mover
Drufle (GM)	And there's no way to get between the darkmantles and Aerlin without leaving somebody's threatened area. I know! So you want to take the aoos?
G'hesh Nhot	i'll have to take the hit then
Aerlin	I will probably be fine.
Drufle (GM)	Gotcha.
Aerlin	But do what you must.
Rochelle Gwerm	its just one AoO though right?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
G'hesh Nhot	"you shall not pass"
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+3( 11 )+3 = 14 Miss. G'hesh Nhot roars
Drufle (GM)	So you're fine. Red's up next.
Red Redford	i should be keeping track of dog uses
Rochelle Gwerm	you've used it twice so far
Red Redford	thrice i think
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh nvm
Drufle (GM)	Once for every battle so far.
Rochelle Gwerm	is that the limit?
Drufle (GM)	Gotta get Precise Shot, boy!
Red Redford	"I summon a servant of Ylimancha!" i summon an eagle
Drufle (GM)	ooooooone sec
Aerlin	Caw.
Rochelle Gwerm	"I'm sorry but what kind of name what that!?"
Drufle (GM)	Kerplow. Place wherever you want.
Rochelle Gwerm	birb enabled
Drufle (GM)	Or, uh, point.
Red Redford	i cant move it
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I figured. Just ping the square you want.
Rochelle Gwerm	flanking birb
Red Redford	ok uh how do i roll for a full attack
Drufle (GM)	You just roll all of them. You can do in-line rolls with shift-enter.
Rochelle Gwerm	I really wish I had cleave right now
Drufle (GM)	pffft
Rochelle Gwerm	just look at em so cleavable
Red Redford	rolling 1d20+3( 6 )+3 = 9 rolling 1d20+3 ( 14 )+3 = 17 rolling 1d20+3 ( 9 )+3 = 12
Drufle (GM)	Second one hits. Roll your... talon?
Red Redford	rolling 1d4+2( 2 )+2 = 4
Rochelle Gwerm	Freedom Combo Attack Go
Drufle (GM)	Alright! One little nip off the biggest guy. Next is... the darkmantles!
Rochelle Gwerm	BRING IT ON
Drufle (GM)	One for the eagle... rolling d20+3 ( 1 )+3 = 4 Ah.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh dear crit fail
Navaya	it ties itself in a knot
Drufle (GM)	Time to go find that crit gen.
Red Redford	"Evasive maneuvers, Birdo!"
Drufle (GM)	rolling d4+4( 4 )+4 = 8
Rochelle Gwerm	???
Drufle (GM)	The darkmantle whips out a tentacle to strike Birdo, but it's too elastic! The tentacle snaps back and hits him in the face.
Rochelle Gwerm	pffft
Drufle (GM)	Alright, one for Rochelle.
Aerlin	Do they have faces?
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+3( 7 )+3 = 10
Rochelle Gwerm	bring it chump nah
Drufle (GM)	And one for Nhot. rolling d20+3 ( 18 )+3 = 21 Rochelle Gwerm brushes the darkmantle away
Drufle (GM)	HRG
Navaya	ooh
Drufle (GM)	rolling d4+4( 2 )+4 = 6
Rochelle Gwerm	oof
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, that's half her hp right there. Aaaaand...
Rochelle Gwerm	more diseases?
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+5( 20 )+5 = 25 YOINK Nhot is super grappled!
G'hesh Nhot	oh
Navaya	facehugged
Rochelle Gwerm	"What are you even doing...?"
Drufle (GM)	So, Navaya!
Aerlin	Hrm. Rochelle Gwerm sighs
G'hesh Nhot	can i not punch it
Navaya	not yet
G'hesh Nhot	i have very high str oh shit you crit
Drufle (GM)	(be patient while i go look up how the hell grappling works for like the 25th time)
Rochelle Gwerm	grapple is overly complicated
Drufle (GM)	It's crazy.
Rochelle Gwerm	I can't imagine these little guys putting up much of a fight
Navaya	when you get back, are there Bad Things associated with me trying to hit this octo? even with magic?
Rochelle Gwerm	is there a size limit they can grab?
Drufle (GM)	I'm here anyway. And no! There actually isn't.
Navaya	ok!
Drufle (GM)	That no was for both of you, coincidentally enough.
Rochelle Gwerm	alright good to know
G'hesh Nhot	so i cant do a str check and hope for crit
Red Redford	oh wait can i retroactively move closer
Drufle (GM)	On your turn, you can break out, Nhot. And sure Red, come join the fun.
G'hesh Nhot	ok
Red Redford	i didnt take summon monsters range into account
G'hesh Nhot	1 rugby dropkick coming soon
Drufle (GM)	I'm really curious to see what the heck Navaya is planning.
Navaya	right can I hit the one on Ghesh's face
Rochelle Gwerm	throws weasel
Navaya	with ear-piercing scream
Drufle (GM)	You can with no penalty, yes.
Aerlin	"Hello, Red, how are you?"
Drufle (GM)	Because Magic~
Navaya	okay!
Aerlin	"I like your eagle."
Navaya	"Hold on Draggy!"
Drufle (GM)	If you shot an arrow you'd probably just impale Nhot's head. Navaya takes a breath G'hesh Nhot has no idea what is happening Navaya: Navaya : Ear-Piercing Scream
Spell Level: Winter Witch, 1
School: Evocation [sonic]
Cast Time: 1 standard action
Components: V, S
Range: 25 (Close)
Effects/Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous; see text
Spell Resistance: Yes
Save: Fortitude partial (see text) DC: 16 Rolls Caster Level Check =20
Original spell level:Bard 1, Inquisitor 1, Sorcerer/wizard 1, Witch 1 You unleash a powerful scream, inaudible to all but a single target. The target is dazed for 1 round and takes 1d6 points of sonic damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d6). A successful save negates the daze effect and halves the damage.
Drufle (GM)	pffft
Red Redford	"I wish I could use this bow properly."
Navaya	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3
Rochelle Gwerm	excellent
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+5( 10 )+5 = 15 Oof.
Aerlin	"Oh, it's all about practice. Keep at it, friend."
Rochelle Gwerm	he hath been dazed
Navaya	did it save?
Rochelle Gwerm	does he fall off he failed the DC
Drufle (GM)	He got a 15, the save is 16.
Navaya	cool!
Aerlin	"I do have some vague memories of using one, although I doubt I could do so now."
Drufle (GM)	Man, dazed isn't on the GM screen. What does that do again?
Navaya	hang on
Rochelle Gwerm	uhhh
Red Redford	can take no actions
Rochelle Gwerm	"The creature is unable to act normally. A dazed creature can take no actions, but has no penalty to AC."
Aerlin	i have a spell called dze that does the same thing
Drufle (GM)	Right then.
Rochelle Gwerm	uh, that was not spoken ignore that
G'hesh Nhot	so i can see
Red Redford	"Whoa, what's AC?"
Rochelle Gwerm	noooo stooop
Drufle (GM)	Well, he won't fall off, but he will probably next turn even if Nhot doesn't tear him off.
Rochelle Gwerm	I'm going to pretend you said nothing
Drufle (GM)	He has to maintain the grapple as a standard action so yes, he'll fall off on his turn.
Aerlin	"I try to keep up with the lingo, but that one is beyond me."
Drufle (GM)	Which is very good because these guys have constrict damage.
Rochelle Gwerm	I cannot break character
Drufle (GM)	So... Aerlin!
Rochelle Gwerm	it is forbidden
Aerlin	Yes!
Navaya	"I've stunned it draggy! you can take it off now"
Aerlin	Hmm. So many options.
Drufle (GM)	(not literally right now, like two player turns from now) G'hesh Nhot flails arms a little with a muffle grunt accent
Drufle (GM)	I didn't know grunts were an accent.
Rochelle Gwerm	its common on the Grunt islands
Drufle (GM)	Actually wait they are, that's German. (dohohoho)
Navaya	and now I'm all out of level 1 spells
Aerlin	I will move up here, and cast True Strike.
Navaya	thanks, guys
Drufle (GM)	Throw out the spell card for us?
Rochelle Gwerm	you've spent too many spells
Aerlin	I gain +20 to my next attack.
Drufle (GM)	Oh geez, right.
Navaya	"spell card" what is this, tohou
Aerlin	That's all for me.
Rochelle Gwerm	would I have a penalty for smacking the darkmantle on Nhot?
Drufle (GM)	Rochelle! And yes!
Aerlin	Aerlin, locked on.
Navaya	absolutely you have a goddamn club
Aerlin	Ready to fire.
Rochelle Gwerm	hmmm might still be worth it
Drufle (GM)	Ma'am there are two perfectly good darkmantles right there.
Rochelle Gwerm	but-but...
Aerlin	The darkmantle should fall right off.
Navaya	I've got her
Aerlin	Since it is dazed.
Navaya	and ghesh has got IT
Aerlin	In fact, I can do the same thing if you get grabbed too. What a cool trick.
Rochelle Gwerm	we'll see knowing my luck...
Aerlin	You can do it!
Drufle (GM)	Well smack one silly!
Aerlin	When will ??? Man show his true power?
Drufle (GM)	When he decides you're in enough danger, clearly.
Rochelle Gwerm	his true power is complaining about sports
??? Man	"What's the deaaaaal with hockey?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Now is not the time"
Navaya	please hit something im very tired
Aerlin	"I can explain it in detail, if you'd like?" "But later."
Rochelle Gwerm	fire ze missiles
Drufle (GM)	Is your sheet locked up or something?
Aerlin	I mean it's your turn. Cough.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh uhh
Aerlin	Dusty in here.
Rochelle Gwerm	that true strike was it?
G'hesh Nhot	what me?
Navaya	YES
Drufle (GM)	It's for Aerlin.
Aerlin	It's a standard action, so yes.
Drufle (GM)	Not you. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Father's Greatclub Attack 8 vs AC Damage 12 Type: B
Drufle (GM)	Ah.
Aerlin	Sorry, that was unclear of me.
Navaya	BAHAHAHAHAHAH
Drufle (GM)	You know what, I'm fine with this outcome.
Rochelle Gwerm	I am going to fucking kill these digital dice
Aerlin	Aw geez.
Rochelle Gwerm	what do I do...
Drufle (GM)	Ha, wow. You bring your greatclub down hard, but it's so jiggly! You get caught off balance, and it strikes back!
Rochelle Gwerm	a counter attack
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+3( 8 )+3 = 11
Rochelle Gwerm	great yeah no bugger off
Drufle (GM)	He is very jiggly. Rochelle Gwerm pushes him away with her arm guard
Drufle (GM)	Back to the top, let's get that bloptopus off of Nhot.
Navaya	that was almost a rhyme
Drufle (GM)	So she either has to make a CMB check or Escape Artist, which I believe is Finesse now.
Aerlin	Go on, Nhot, flex real hard or something.
Drufle (GM)	I would recommend the CMB.
Rochelle Gwerm	or he could just wait and it'll fall off on its own
Aerlin	May as well try.
Drufle (GM)	Mostly because Nhot's Finesse is actually -2.
G'hesh Nhot	str check or two handed sword
Drufle (GM)	CMB, on your attack page.
Navaya	it's the CMB check
Drufle (GM)	Near the top of that page, under Melee and Ranged.
Navaya	god my cmb is -3
Drufle (GM)	I can roll it for you, if the sheet's being slow. Yeah, that's like the one bad thing about being small. Your CMB is awful.
Aerlin	Probably in the lag zone. It is a dark place.
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I can tell she's getting stuck behind every now and then. I'll make the roll for her.
G'hesh Nhot	thanks Drufle (GM): G'hesh Nhot : CMB
Check: 15
G'hesh Nhot	it still isn't doing anything
Drufle (GM)	A success! So your choices are to either become the grappler or throw him off.
G'hesh Nhot	oh good. smash time?
Rochelle Gwerm	CHOKE HOLD
Drufle (GM)	You unfortunately can't hit him this turn; breaking free is a standard action.
G'hesh Nhot	can i not rip its head off its like grappling
Drufle (GM)	I'm afraid not this turn.
Navaya	it's a cephalopod, where would you aim :P
Red Redford	does it have a head
Aerlin	Grapple it, then piledrive it.
Rochelle Gwerm	it has something
Drufle (GM)	Kind of?
G'hesh Nhot	fine. i'll throw
Drufle (GM)	I posted him in telegram.
G'hesh Nhot	away from everyone
Drufle (GM)	Righto! Then Red! and Birdo!
Navaya	that's not away from everyone
Red Redford	our turn??
Drufle (GM)	Yes. Well Navaya, my options are either towards Birdo or Rochelle, and Rochelle has enough octopodes.
G'hesh Nhot	do i not roll to see how far the throw was, or is it a straight up success
Red Redford	i cast guidance on birdo +1 to an attack roll
Drufle (GM)	And when I said "throw" I didn't mean you toss him 20 feet away. You just plop him down in an adjacent square.
Navaya	oh that's a shame
Drufle (GM)	Throwing him is a mythic talent.
Red Redford	wait its a touch spell
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, you'd have to get closer. Much closer.
Navaya	I wanted it down here so I could snipe it
Red Redford	all my spells are touch spells what the hell
Drufle (GM)	That's divine magic for you. Or most low-level spells, for that matter.
Rochelle Gwerm	touch the horrid nightmare fuel
Drufle (GM)	That's why familiars with deliver spells are so good.
Red Redford	hold on a moment even my sanctuary is touch ok ill wade into melee i guess and attack!
Drufle (GM)	FIRE AT WILL WITH SWORDS
Red Redford	"Let us smite them together, Birdo!"
Rochelle Gwerm	does Red even have a melee weapon?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
Navaya	"Why did you call it that?" Red Redford: default Red Redford : Longbow, Masterwork composite Attack 7 vs AC Damage 9 Type: P default Red Redford : Cold iron morningstar Attack 3 vs AC Damage 5 Type: B and P
Navaya	"ur lame"
Red Redford	woops it scrolled
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear.
Navaya	nope
Red Redford	ignore the longbow
Drufle (GM)	Neither are hits, I'm afraid. Give Birdo a shot.
Red Redford	at least it aint a one "Ack!" ok eagle turn
Rochelle Gwerm	boy you looking to get whacked?
Drufle (GM)	1's will be the death of us all. Hopefully not literally.
Red Redford	rolling 1d20+3( 14 )+3 = 17 rolling 1d20+3 ( 11 )+3 = 14 rolling 1d20+3 ( 2 )+3 = 5
Rochelle Gwerm	5% chance my ass
Drufle (GM)	First hit! Roll damage!
Red Redford	rolling 1d4+2( 2 )+2 = 4
Drufle (GM)	SQUISH
Rochelle Gwerm	wow they have no health
Navaya	oh wow they squashy
Red Redford	"You're so much better at this than I, Birdo."
Drufle (GM)	Not really, no!
Aerlin	Good.
Drufle (GM)	I mean, I am also rolling health for mobs.
Rochelle Gwerm	I was going to power attack but I guess not
Drufle (GM)	And that one rolled, uh, poorly. Speaking of them, darkmantle turn!
Red Redford	dont you mean, but i ghesh nhot
G'hesh Nhot	rofl
Rochelle Gwerm	...
Drufle (GM)	pfffft Wow.
Rochelle Gwerm	I am going to just
Navaya	that's what g'hesh herself would say
Rochelle Gwerm	need a moment to recover
G'hesh Nhot	you stole my characters in joke
Navaya	she doesn't seem keen on prepositions
Drufle (GM)	First off, top dude smacks Red!
Rochelle Gwerm	he's dazed
Drufle (GM)	Oh yeah, that one.
Rochelle Gwerm	he ain't doin anythin
Red Redford	"Lords shield me from this foul creature."
Drufle (GM)	He goes to smack Red and then remembers how pretty all those stars he's seeing are.
Rochelle Gwerm	"He's not even doing anything, calm down"
Drufle (GM)	HAVE AT YE ROCK LADY rolling d20+3 ( 11 )+3 = 14
Rochelle Gwerm	okay finally yeah that hits
Drufle (GM)	rolling d4+4( 2 )+4 = 6 Squorch. Aaaand grab attempt... rolling d20+5 ( 7 )+5 = 12 Nope.
Rochelle Gwerm	what is this against?
Drufle (GM)	CMD.
Rochelle Gwerm	ah
Drufle (GM)	Which is like 16 for you, I think. No grabbing for bottom boy. So... Navaya!
Rochelle Gwerm	it says 15 but the math adds up to 16??? the hell?
Aerlin	I am so eager to shoot something right now.
Navaya	aughhh who do I heallll
Drufle (GM)	You're missing that -1, Rochelle.
Aerlin	Probably G'hesh.
Rochelle Gwerm	where?
Drufle (GM)	From your dex mod.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh
G'hesh Nhot	what about me
Drufle (GM)	CMD is 10+BAB+STR+DEX
Rochelle Gwerm	the hell is FF CMD?
Aerlin	You're hurt, right?
Drufle (GM)	Flat-footed.
Rochelle Gwerm	ohhhhh
Navaya	I'm using my healing hex on g'hesh acts like cure light wounds that's touch, right?
Drufle (GM)	Removes your dex bonus (which does not increase your CMD)
Aerlin	It is.
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
Navaya	ok
Rochelle Gwerm	it all makes sense now
Drufle (GM)	Just inch forward.
Rochelle Gwerm	I was looking at the wrong thing entirely
Drufle (GM)	Give 'er a good heal.
Navaya	"god, you fighters"]
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, CMB doesn't include DEX but CMD does. Navaya:
Navaya	Healing SPECIAL ABILITIES SourceWinter Witch (1) Frequency 0/0 Per 24 hrs per target A witch can soothe the wounds of those she touches. Description This acts as a "cure light wounds" spell, using the witch’s caster level. Once a creature has benefited from the healing hex, it cannot benefit from it again for 24 hours. At 5th level, this hex acts like "cure moderate wounds".
Drufle (GM)	Alright, roll health. d8+1, I believe.
Navaya	rolling 1d8+1( 2 )+1 = 3 blah
Rochelle Gwerm	hmmmmmm...
Drufle (GM)	Better than nothing. Aerlin!
Aerlin	Aerlin's guardian beam is locking on.
Drufle (GM)	Just, you know, don't roll a 1.
Aerlin	Rochelle, would you prefer I attack the one near you, or the other?
Rochelle Gwerm	I am 90% sure I can oneshot one if I hit it so like...I'm fine
Aerlin	You four can flank that one if I take yours out... Then it's super fucked.
Drufle (GM)	ULTRAFLANK
Aerlin	Yeah isnt there a thing for that If it's just surrounded.
Rochelle Gwerm	I don't think you can kill this one though not in one shot
Drufle (GM)	Every hit counts!
Aerlin	Let's test it out.
Rochelle Gwerm	I mean neither of our characters are discussing this
Aerlin	Fire!!
Rochelle Gwerm	every hit counts doesn't really count if one hit can deal over 16 damage
Drufle (GM)	Yeah this is all taking place in like 12 seconds.
Aerlin	5+5+20...30 does that hit
Drufle (GM)	I'm afraid not, my dude.
Aerlin	oh -4 i guess
Drufle (GM)	You missed it by like 40.
Aerlin	no!!
Drufle (GM)	Roll damage you goof.
Rochelle Gwerm	the soap drama begins
Aerlin	I do 7 damage.
Drufle (GM)	SQUOLRHC
Aerlin	It was the other one.
Drufle (GM)	Oh.
Aerlin	But uh.
Rochelle Gwerm	please do not attack this one
Aerlin	Sure. Okay.
Rochelle Gwerm	that would be a massive waste of time
Navaya	this is better
Drufle (GM)	Your splinter somehow whips around and impales the one in the middle.
Aerlin	Have fun, Roch.
Drufle (GM)	Your turn, Rochelle.
Red Redford	"Whoa, it whipped right past me." Rochelle Gwerm takes a quick 5-foot step...
Red Redford	"Close one."
Navaya	whack that mole!!
Aerlin	"I saw that coming." Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Father's Greatclub Attack 21 vs AC Damage 15 Type: B
Navaya	there
Aerlin	"Because that is what the spell does."
Rochelle Gwerm	SLAM
Drufle (GM)	Wow, that was just barely an ohko.
Rochelle Gwerm	fuck I knew I should have power attacked
Drufle (GM)	Remember how that other guy rolled really poorly for his health? This one did not.
Rochelle Gwerm	great
Drufle (GM)	Nhot! Back up to the top once more.
Aerlin	Go kick it or something.
Rochelle Gwerm	just...finish it off
Drufle (GM)	I'll move Nhot up to the dude... G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Longsword (2H) Attack 26 vs AC Damage 8 Crit Confirm 17 vs AC Crit Damage +8 Type: S
Drufle (GM)	Is Nhot still conscious enough and the sheet functional enough to make the roll? Oh.
Rochelle Gwerm	motherfucker
Drufle (GM)	That uh.
G'hesh Nhot	lag
Drufle (GM)	That would be a decided FUCK YES IT IS
Aerlin	Queen of Crits
G'hesh Nhot	full swing again
Aerlin	It is decreed.
G'hesh Nhot	seeeee yaaaa
Drufle (GM)	The darkmantle just bursts into goo as Nhot slices it clean in half.
Navaya	outta the park
Red Redford	well thats a finishing move if i ever saw one
Rochelle Gwerm	"Hey! I was fighting that one!"
Drufle (GM)	That's literally the second encounter in a row that Nhot finished the battle with a crit. G'hesh Nhot starts wiping slime off Anevia Tirablade shouts from the other end of the cavern, "NICE HIT, AGAIN"
Aerlin	Right, find their wallets.
G'hesh Nhot	its the second hand. hits harder Rochelle Gwerm mumbles to herself angrily
Red Redford	"No use arguing about kills, they count those in heaven you know." "It reflects... poorly."
Aerlin	"You know, we could do this with much less mess."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Screw that, this was my kill"
??? Man	"Disgusting little beasts, there's nasty goo everywhere!"
Red Redford	hello npc squad sup
Aerlin	"Caw."
G'hesh Nhot	"my sword" "my kill"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Hell no, I did most of the work"
Aravashnial	"Careful with the goo, it can be an allergen to some races!"
Red Redford	wheres the victory music
Drufle (GM)	Uhhh.
Rochelle Gwerm	"I have rock for skin it isn't going to bother me"
Drufle (GM)	There you go.
Navaya	"Hey, uh, can we rest or something? my heals are pooped out"
Rochelle Gwerm	I'm on a timer
Navaya	"if you run into something really nasty we won't be able to pull you out"
Aerlin	"Yes, I imagine we are all tired..."
G'hesh Nhot	"fight more"
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, but at least one day of that timer doesn't matter since we have a potion to help with that.
Rochelle Gwerm	I'd rather not though
Anevia Tirablade	"I don't know, this place doesn't seem very safe. Darkmantles around, and all." "Plus, those statues are kinda creepy..."
Rochelle Gwerm	"I want nothing more to do with this cave lets go" G'hesh Nhot wants to smash statue
Navaya	"point taken" ??? Man grumbles some form of agreement.
Aerlin	"If there are any injuries, then we can rest."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Erg...I sound like that guy don't I?"
Navaya	"oh well, you're funeral..."
Aerlin	"In an emergency, I have a scroll we can use."
Rochelle Gwerm	"I've had worse, I'm fine"
Drufle (GM)	Vash has a few more CLW potions for hp injuries. G'hesh Nhot runs ahead
Aerlin	"I do think this is unwise, though." Off we go.
Drufle (GM)	(trust me there will be a safe place to rest very soon)
G'hesh Nhot	"first to fight" wins
Red Redford	"I'm fine, and so is birdo!"
Rochelle Gwerm	I can rage to increase my health its fine Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 7
Red Redford	oh hey a campfire
Aerlin	Hmm, who's this?
Drufle (GM)	A small campfire and a well-used bedroll, along with a few utensils and tools, sits near another cave opening in the far wall of this cavern. Rochelle Gwerm squints due to the fire
Rochelle Gwerm	ye olde man
Drufle (GM)	There's also an extraordinarily-crazy looking dwarf standing on the bedroll. He sees the party and shrieks something incomprehensible.
G'hesh Nhot	"MINE"
Rochelle Gwerm	yeah there's nothing safe about this "You wanna go too, tiny man!?" Rochelle Gwerm : Influence Check 8 -1 to Bluff checks +4 to Intimidate fuck these rolls G'hesh Nhot roars battle cry
Aerlin	"Let's make contact."
Red Redford	can anyone speak dwarven
Navaya	can't scare crazy guys nop
Drufle (GM)	He whips out a wand and suddenly his form starts blurring.
Rochelle Gwerm	it was only a 12
Aerlin	I assume none of us understand the language. Okay he's not being nice.
Navaya	oh no not double team...
Aerlin	Never mind.
Red Redford	"Hail and well met!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"He ain't friendly, you dope" Red Redford: default Red Redford : Influence Check 17
Navaya	ooh
G'hesh Nhot	i want to intimidate
Drufle (GM)	He shrieks slightly less loudly but is kind of confused at your congeniality.
Aerlin	"That was less loud than before. Progress." Drufle (GM): G'hesh Nhot : Influence Check 6
Aerlin	"Keep saying nice things, Red."
Drufle (GM)	Nhot is nhot very scary.
G'hesh Nhot	damn
Red Redford	i say.... "Torag?" dwarves love him right i dont know
Drufle (GM)	His features soften slightly, but his wand still points at the party.
Red Redford	i lower my weapon and uh take out some trail rations
Navaya	./me puts her weasel down
Drufle (GM)	pfffft
Navaya	how did that fucking dot get there
Rochelle Gwerm	sneaky dot
Drufle (GM)	Actually, it occurs to me. Can any of you actually speak Abyssal?
Aerlin	Yes,
Navaya	scatter the trail mix in front of him like birdseed
Red Redford	i do
Rochelle Gwerm	well shit we got two speakers
G'hesh Nhot	can i?
Drufle (GM)	I didn't actually think anyone would know that. Probably not, Nhot.
Rochelle Gwerm	with that Int mod, there is no chance, Nhot
Aerlin	You told me to get it, Druf!
Drufle (GM)	Oh right.
Aerlin	Thank you for that.
Red Redford	and i got once extra because of my int
G'hesh Nhot	well.... school was fun
Red Redford	*once *one
G'hesh Nhot	KNOT
Rochelle Gwerm	Druf: yo there's this dwarf in the cave that speaks Abyssal, you should learn that
Drufle (GM)	Well his shrieks were something along the lines of "ENEMIES! DEATH TO NOT FRIENDS! DARK BEASTS"
Rochelle Gwerm	wow rude
Drufle (GM)	He's a little bit insane.
Aerlin	No no...just...eccentric.
Red Redford	i tell him
G'hesh Nhot	fine. i want to knock him out
Red Redford	"US FRIENDS. KILLED DARK BEASTS"
Drufle (GM)	In common?
Red Redford	in abyssal
Rochelle Gwerm	pffft
Drufle (GM)	Alright, he looks absolutely stunned that anyone else even knows this crazy language he's speaking.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Great, now he's gone crazy too" G'hesh Nhot is still covered in the slime
Drufle (GM)	His wand drops to his side and he mutters something back like "BODIES INTACT? GOOD MEAT"
Rochelle Gwerm	"What a way to go..."
Aerlin	"(Oh, it's Abyssal...I didn't recognise it with his accent.)"
Rochelle Gwerm	I think we just fucked up
Aerlin	"Somewhat, yes."
Drufle (GM)	You actually see a small pile of darkmantle flesh near the campfire.
Rochelle Gwerm	those were not the dark beasts
Red Redford	"GOOD SLIME TOO"
Rochelle Gwerm	oh it was? I didn't think they had...meat
Aerlin	"SO MUCH SLIME, FRIEND."
Navaya	pick up the pace, rocko Rochelle Gwerm looks back and forth at Red an Aerlin
Drufle (GM)	He looks overjoyed at the prospect.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Is it spreading? what in the world is going on?"
Aerlin	"WE JUST ATE SO, HELP YOURSELF." Rochelle Gwerm stumbles back
Red Redford	"THREE OF THEM"
Navaya	(to red) "psst! what's happening"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Woah, okay"
Drufle (GM)	"ALL THREE? NO MORE ALIVE?"
Red Redford	"he likes cave octopus flesh..." "DEADER THAN DEAD"
Aerlin	I'm almost sure there were no more.
Rochelle Gwerm	I swear if more show up
Drufle (GM)	He looks rather upset at that remark.
Aerlin	DId we look up?
Drufle (GM)	"NEED TWO TO BREED. GOOD FLESH! NO OTHER FOODS"
Rochelle Gwerm	oh... might be time to move
Aerlin	We'll let him past.
Red Redford	is this a fetch quest
Drufle (GM)	This is entirely off the books at this point, so no.
G'hesh Nhot	"FETCH!"
Rochelle Gwerm	we actually managed to talk our way out of another encounter
Aerlin	He's coocoo for that googoo. Navaya is just reclining in midair, waiting for the problem to resolve itself
Red Redford	"hey can someone get a corpse from the other room..." Rochelle Gwerm wanders back
Red Redford	"um.. ALIVE?" Rochelle Gwerm grabs a corpse and drags it over
Rochelle Gwerm	I think its just a body
Aerlin	I guess they might still be okay, if they go into negative.
Drufle (GM)	He starts inspecting the body, taking out a small knife and poking it.
Aerlin	The one Nhot splatted is super dead though. Rochelle Gwerm is too confused to even think about just bashing her way past him
Drufle (GM)	"NOT DEAD YET. AWFULLY BLOODY, NOT DEAD." G'hesh Nhot gets ready to kill it
Red Redford	"THIS, OK?"
Rochelle Gwerm	do I go get the others?
Navaya	"wait a sec Draggy!"
G'hesh Nhot	oh wait, not common
Rochelle Gwerm	Nhot you can't understand any of this
G'hesh Nhot	my bad
Drufle (GM)	Caps lock currently indicates Abyssal.
Rochelle Gwerm	just smile and look confused like the rest of us "Okay I have to ask, what is going on?"
Drufle (GM)	He's just staring down at the body, slowly nodding.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Can we or can we not move on?"
Red Redford	"Like I said, he wants some food." G'hesh Nhot keeps the same partially confused expression
Drufle (GM)	"IS GOOD. TAKE SMALL STATUE, LEAVE."
Rochelle Gwerm	this is getting wierder
Aerlin	"SO NICE. THANK YOU."
Drufle (GM)	He yanks a little 6-inch marble statuette of a humanoid throwing a spear out of his pocket.
Red Redford	"THANK"
Drufle (GM)	He holds it out to Aerlin.
Aerlin	Guess I'll take it.
Drufle (GM)	He nods and waves the party on.
Rochelle Gwerm	hurray art "I know that sign. I'm off"
Aerlin	Off we go then. I wave goodbye to the nice man.
Red Redford	"FARE THEE WELL" "PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS"
G'hesh Nhot	"bye nice man"
Red Redford	"That went better than expected."
Drufle (GM)	"GOOD SEE NEW PEOPLE IN COMMUNITY. NOT MANY NON-BROKENS"
Rochelle Gwerm	"What in the world was all that noise you two were making?"
Red Redford	"I wonder what that wand was..."
Drufle (GM)	(he's a wizard)
Aerlin	"Abyssal, a lovely language." "Very emotional."
Drufle (GM)	Alright, well, next part then...
Rochelle Gwerm	"Um...yeahhhh"
Navaya	"just accept a battle avoided"
Rochelle Gwerm	"I'm too confused to even complain"
Navaya	"you wouldn't hit him anyway..."
Drufle (GM)	Alright, I'm gonna push just a little bit further, and then I think we'll call it soonish.
Aerlin	"BY THE WAY, RED, YOUR GRASP OF THE LANGUAGE IS FANTASTIC."
Navaya	pls
Rochelle Gwerm	"Please don't...use it if you don't have to though" Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 4
Red Redford	"HSKKIZZ BRIWRZAK"
Drufle (GM)	Up north is an exceedingly steep tunnel.
Aerlin	"OH, YOU FLATTER ME." "HAHAHAHAHA."
Drufle (GM)	There's cracks, pitons, and footholds everywhere; clearly a well-travelled thoroughfare. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Athletics Check 18
Aerlin	Abyssal laughter is really something else. Navaya:
Navaya	Perception Check15
Aerlin	Imagine the worst noise.
Navaya	oh ok
Drufle (GM)	Despite this at least a solid 60 degree incline or so, the iron and cracks actually help enough that you don't need a climb check. despite this being*
Red Redford	yay gotta help out anevia though
Drufle (GM)	Thank goodness too, Anevia would not enjoy that.
Navaya	"what about the archer gir oh ok
Drufle (GM)	She can do alright. The splint and crutch help a lot.
Aerlin	Roch is already up, I guess.
Red Redford	"Upsidazey"
Drufle (GM)	Rochelle is just leaping up pitons.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Lets keep going" mate I'm making my own footholds the power Navaya flaps around offering encouragement"
Red Redford	"You three alright?"
G'hesh Nhot	me fight
Aerlin	I'll help lead Vash and the others up.
Navaya	"you can fight later!"
Drufle (GM)	Alright, so this next little bit does not actually have a map, because Paizo has a vendetta against non-combat encounters.
Aerlin	And go up after them.
Rochelle Gwerm	huh okay is it a long walk?
Drufle (GM)	So we'll have to just use our Imaginations for a while. This ridiculous tunnel goes on for almost half an hour. Rochelle Gwerm Rochelle makes small talk
Drufle (GM)	It's worse than the MGS3 ladder.
Red Redford	long tunnel
Rochelle Gwerm	"So what in the world brought you guys to this town anyways?" "So close to...whatever those where up there"
Red Redford	"Adventure."
Aerlin	"I'm seeking some information."
G'hesh Nhot	"fight"
Aerlin	"The adventure is nice, though."
Rochelle Gwerm	"I could've guessed that, dragon"
Anevia Tirablade	"Not really doing much myself, I'm just living in town."
Navaya	"I need power"
Aravashnial	"Well, I'm the head of the local Riftwardens, as I believe I've mentioned earlier. Very time-consuming."
Navaya	"there's witches in my homeland" ??? Man angrily grumbles about nobility.
Navaya	"also the big animals are turnin evil" G'hesh Nhot looks at ???
Aerlin	"The Riftwardens, are they related to the Riftwalkers in some way?"
G'hesh Nhot	"me not evil or animal
Rochelle Gwerm	"Alright, so like...most of you are playing the vague mysterious game" "Why this place specifically?" "Adventure is anywhere, information is everywhere"
Aravashnial	"Riftwalkers? Not a name I'm familiar with, miss."
Rochelle Gwerm	"And nobility is everywhere" Rochelle Gwerm gives a hard look to ??? man ??? Man kinda scowls.
Aerlin	"Hmm, that's fair. They're fairly secretive."
Red Redford	"Well, he probably lives here."
G'hesh Nhot	can i get an intimidate please
Drufle (GM)	One second.
G'hesh Nhot	not the intelligence one Drufle (GM): G'hesh Nhot : Influence Check 9 Nhot is too busy climbing to be scary.
Aerlin	"Well, ultimately I want to get to the Worldwound."
Red Redford	"In the city above, not the cave." "Samesies."
Aerlin	"I believe my answers are there."
??? Man	"I have a manor in Kenabres, alright? Or at least I used to, I imagine it's gone by now."
Navaya	i have things to say but im too tired to say them
G'hesh Nhot	"up, Big fight"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Well that explains the fancy outfit"
Navaya	just pretend I have profound exposition
Drufle (GM)	:P Irrisen, Winter Witches, everything sucks. I gotcha.
Navaya	more like birthmark
Drufle (GM)	Oh right, that.
Navaya	riftwardens tolc
Aerlin	Where is yours? If you show it to me we should talk about that.
Red Redford	butt
Rochelle Gwerm	"Alright so...out of the travelers here, what did you do before coming here?"
Navaya	"uh, left shoulder"
Aerlin	Mine is concealed, so you won't have noticed it. Navaya shifts her poncho
Aerlin	"That's...an interesting mark, Navaya." Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 15
Aerlin	"..."
Rochelle Gwerm	oh NOW I see shit
Drufle (GM)	HOW INTERESTING HMM
G'hesh Nhot	"Train, family fight school, Trial of champions"
Rochelle Gwerm	"What is with that tattoo, fairy?"
Red Redford	"As an inquisitor, I worked for a temple."
Aerlin	(we'll talk about it later, aerlin is just going to think about it for a bit) (now seems like a bad time anyway)
Rochelle Gwerm	god this is going to become a mess of talking I am so sorry
Navaya	"no idea. the one on my butt tweets if you smack it though!"
Drufle (GM)	pffft G'hesh Nhot goes to see
Rochelle Gwerm	be careful, Rochelle might do it Navaya chirps out an example
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, up ahead you hear some talking and strained sounds.
Rochelle Gwerm	is it more Abyssal?
Drufle (GM)	The tunnel opens into a large cavern, about seventy feet across. Cylindrical rock formations along the walls arch up to make a dome like chamber, but the walls and floor are riddled with cracks. At the center of the cave, a stone tower that may once have reached the fifty-foot-high ceiling has collapsed onto its side. And no, it's common.
Rochelle Gwerm	sigh
Aerlin	"I hear talking..." Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Perception Check 5
Aerlin	"What is this place?"
Drufle (GM)	I think all of your characters need glasses. Red Redford: default Red Redford : Perception Check 13
Rochelle Gwerm	I can't hear/see well enough to know
G'hesh Nhot	perception please
Aerlin	Same, I got a 6.
Drufle (GM)	There's two strange-looking humanoids huddled around some of the collapsed rubble. G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Wisdom
Check: 2 Drufle (GM): G'hesh Nhot : Perception Check 17
Rochelle Gwerm	uh oh well uh interesting
G'hesh Nhot	lol
Navaya	ghesh loses a brain cell
Drufle (GM)	Red hears that they seem really concerned about something. Hard to tell what from way back.
G'hesh Nhot	i perceive but cannot comprehend
Rochelle Gwerm	I think Nhot did better?
Red Redford	"Should we sneak or no?"
Rochelle Gwerm	this roll confuses me
Drufle (GM)	On my roll, yeah, but she also rolled her own.
Red Redford	i whisper
Rochelle Gwerm	"Look at me, Red" "Do I look like I could sneak?"
G'hesh Nhot	mine was wis not per
Drufle (GM)	Oh, right then. Nhot sees all this as well, then.
G'hesh Nhot	i couldn't find it
Rochelle Gwerm	its under Skills
Aerlin	"Concerned? Maybe the tower there collapsed recently, then?
Rochelle Gwerm	though that won't help is the sheet is lagging
G'hesh Nhot	my sheet is killing my com ive left it on core
Red Redford	ok im gonna
Anevia Tirablade	"Are they alright? They seem to be digging at the rubble."
Red Redford	"HAIL AND WELL MET"
Rochelle Gwerm	don't use Abyssal
Drufle (GM)	The two suddenly whip around to see you.
Red Redford	oh thats in common
Rochelle Gwerm	okay good also this is really meta-gamey since we know this can't be a fight
Red Redford	im just hollering G'hesh Nhot grunts
Rochelle Gwerm	because no map
Drufle (GM)	They look defensive, and you see shuffling in the rubble behind them.
Rochelle Gwerm	Who wan't to make the influence check?
Red Redford	"Would you like some assistance with whatever it is you're doing?"
Drufle (GM)	One of the figures is horribly disfigured, large tumors covering her(?) face, and the other one is... strange-looking, to say the least. Picture in telegram.
G'hesh Nhot	i'll give it a shot
Drufle (GM)	Also his name but, you know, whatever.
G'hesh Nhot	influence please Drufle (GM): G'hesh Nhot : Influence Check 2
G'hesh Nhot	as intimidate
Rochelle Gwerm	okay no please
Drufle (GM)	Uh huh.
Navaya	thaaaat's a tiefling
Red Redford	"You look, oh, oh... like you need some help with something."
Drufle (GM)	The man's voice is raspy, and his accent thick. Rochelle Gwerm doesn't bother trying to look scary
Red Redford	lizard boy
Drufle (GM)	"Look, if your intentions are ill, please move on and leave us in peace. If they are good, we could use your help."
Rochelle Gwerm	"We good or we ill?" Rochelle Gwerm asks the party G'hesh Nhot looks confused
Red Redford	"Lucky for you, I have nothing BUT good intentions!"
Navaya	"good, i guess?" Rochelle Gwerm shrugs
Red Redford	i try an influence check Navaya sleeby
Red Redford	diplomancy Daha aṭē sleeby
Aerlin	"Yes, we can help you, I'm sure." Red Redford: default Red Redford : Influence Check 28
Rochelle Gwerm	holy shit, good job
Navaya	god ur good
Drufle (GM)	Ah, wow.
Rochelle Gwerm	they super believe youu
Drufle (GM)	The man straightens up.
Rochelle Gwerm	with that corny ass phrase
Aerlin	Maybe they can give us directions.
Drufle (GM)	"Oh, good! My name is Lann, this is Dyra. We were guards at this post before it crashes. Our friend, Crel, got stuck beneath the rubble. Do you have some able-bodied folk?" Rochelle Gwerm cracks her neck
Red Redford	"We have at least two."
Navaya	"Rocky's sick but sure"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Step aside, I got this"
Aerlin	I can cast Light, at least.
Rochelle Gwerm	do you guys even know that I'm sick?
G'hesh Nhot	str check please
Aerlin	Perhaps Detect Magic could help?
Navaya	"don't breathe near her :P"
Aerlin	I'm going to try it out.
Rochelle Gwerm	now do I take a 10 or do I roll...
Red Redford	i cast the same spell on a pebble and throw it near them Rochelle Gwerm sizes up the rubble
Rochelle Gwerm	can I get this with a 15?
G'hesh Nhot	str???
Drufle (GM)	As you approach the rubble, you can see the poor guy stuck under a large rock.
G'hesh Nhot	gm?
Drufle (GM)	I'm gonna tell you right now, without a crit neither of you can do this.
Rochelle Gwerm	hmmm
G'hesh Nhot	i wanna try
Drufle (GM)	You need everyone to help together. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Strength
Check: 17
Navaya	ok Drufle (GM): G'hesh Nhot : Strength
Check: 8
Aerlin	I'm no slouch, let's do this. Rochelle Gwerm attempts to lift
Drufle (GM)	Alright, everyone else make STR checks.
G'hesh Nhot	lol
Aerlin	I rolled 19 + 1. Navaya:
Navaya	Strength
Check: 19
Drufle (GM)	Uh.
Rochelle Gwerm	wut
Drufle (GM)	Woww.
Navaya	WOW
Red Redford	i make an aid another action on their strength checks
Rochelle Gwerm	PFAHAHAHAHA
Aerlin	The mages have got it.
Drufle (GM)	I mean, that's something alright. Red Redford: default Red Redford : Strength
Check: 17 Navaya flies into the boulder
Rochelle Gwerm	I count as a large creature in this case I think
Drufle (GM)	Rochelle kinda goes and lifts the boulder off Crel, and then Aerlin and Navaya just blast it off or something.
Rochelle Gwerm	maybe
Aerlin	The muscle wizards are real.
Drufle (GM)	And Red too, actually.
Rochelle Gwerm	no, Navaya lifts a bolder with her Pixie Strength
Navaya	"jeez, wasn't expecting that..." G'hesh Nhot has no idea what happened Daha aṭē is SHOCKED
G'hesh Nhot	"strong food"
Navaya	"WHAT was that?!"
Drufle (GM)	Crel is beat right the hell up, but also looks very confused as the boulder that almost killed him just flew away.
Aerlin	Right, let's attend to the man. Rochelle Gwerm flexes
Aerlin	"Are you two able to heal him at all?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Yeah...I still got it" that was not a healing thing
Navaya	"Yeah sure! 1 per person per day!"
Rochelle Gwerm	heal away little pixie
G'hesh Nhot	"i could help him pass over" Navaya hexes the man
Drufle (GM)	"That... that was amazing! Ok, we have to get him back to Neathholm as fast as possible once he's healed up."
Navaya	rolling 1d8+1( 3 )+1 = 4
Aerlin	Do I know Neathholm?
Drufle (GM)	Some of Crel's injuries fade away, but he still looks a bit rough. Roll Society!
Aerlin	I got 27.
Drufle (GM)	Uh. Wow.
Rochelle Gwerm	I think she knows
Drufle (GM)	Neathholm is a rumored mongrelman town beneath Kenabres, where the descendants of the First Crusaders make their home. You've just confirmed its existence.
Rochelle Gwerm	all in a day's work for Aerlin
Drufle (GM)	Or, well, Lann did.
Aerlin	"Neathholm? Is it far?"
Navaya	"wellhowdy-doo"
Red Redford	mongrelpeeps
Aerlin	Sounds like a nice place to rest.
Rochelle Gwerm	sounds like the best place to rest a place where Rochelle won't stand out like a sore thumb
G'hesh Nhot	is there good fighting
Drufle (GM)	"It's normally just a good 20 minutes from here, but with all these wounded folk it'll be about 40 minutes."
Navaya	"you have a one-track mind..."
Drufle (GM)	"Quickly, let's make haste!"
Rochelle Gwerm	"You want me to carry someone?"
G'hesh Nhot	i could drag boddies. me strong
Drufle (GM)	"If you can take Crel, that would be most helpful."
Rochelle Gwerm	Okay, I'm pretty sure a 15 is enough to carry a small man
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, you should be alright.
Aerlin	"So, would this make you descendants of the First Crusaders?" Rochelle Gwerm picks up Crel like his a paper weight
Drufle (GM)	"I, uh, yes, that would be the case."
Rochelle Gwerm	*he's
Aerlin	"We've noticed some of the architecture around these caverns." "It's a pleasure to meet you, then."
Drufle (GM)	"Oh, did you pass Millorn? Are you hurt?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"We are perfectly fine"
Navaya	"no we bartered our way past with darkmantle goo... I think" G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Strength
Check: 10
Drufle (GM)	"Ah, good idea. He loves that stuff, for some reason."
G'hesh Nhot	god that took ages
Aerlin	"Although, I must ask, are you aware of what's happened up in Kenabres?"
Navaya	just... take 1
Rochelle Gwerm	maybe just take 10...
Navaya	10
Rochelle Gwerm	we're not in danger there is no reason to gamble
Drufle (GM)	"Vaguely, all I know right now is that there's been a lot of quakes around. I'm worried about Neathholm, actually; we were going to rush back there when the tower collapsed."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Oh boy, I doubt any place could be worse of than Kenabres"
Navaya	"does that need to be upright, Rocky's good at building blocks!"
Drufle (GM)	pffft
Rochelle Gwerm	"Place is getting torn to shreds by...I think demons?" "First time I saw any"
G'hesh Nhot	"FIGHT"
Drufle (GM)	"The tower doesn't matter for now; we ought to go check in on the town." "Demons don't surprise me, honestly."
Red Redford	i dont want to call them mongrelmen
G'hesh Nhot	"demons!"
Red Redford	are there other terms
Navaya	Tieflings
Rochelle Gwerm	people is probably fine
Navaya	or yeah people
Aerlin	Dudes G'hesh Nhot wants demon
Rochelle Gwerm	like you don't need a special name here
Aerlin	And Dudettes
Drufle (GM)	I think mongrelman is, like, the scientific name?
Navaya	"youll get yer chance, killsteal queen"
Drufle (GM)	I don't remember if they have a name for themselves.
G'hesh Nhot	"navaya slow"
Drufle (GM)	Alright, forward march!
Aerlin	Should we ask anything else?
Rochelle Gwerm	forwaaard
Aerlin	I think we've talked enough.
Navaya	"oh wow you DO remember my name. Guess I'll start havin'ta be polite to ya!"
G'hesh Nhot	"where demon"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Demon outside of cave"
Red Redford	Crossfolk there i made a new word
Rochelle Gwerm	"You can fight it when we get there"
G'hesh Nhot	"ghesh remembers fighters"
Drufle (GM)	Good word. So, about 30 minutes down the road, while the ever-expanding party makes small talk...
Rochelle Gwerm	you made me think of animal crossing, Golurk
Aerlin	We're at 12 people now, huh.
Red Redford	thats basically what they are
Aerlin	Including the weasel.
Drufle (GM)	The group comes into a rather large cavern, coated from edge to edge with thick sheets of fungus.
Red Redford	do they have pogs
Navaya	"ooh! rare mushrooms!"
Aerlin	"What's this?"
Drufle (GM)	"Careful up here; a spore-cougher lives in this cave, hopefully it'll be gone."
Red Redford	this is where the mushroom people live
G'hesh Nhot	"food?"
Drufle (GM)	And only one of them even has a picture, we could make him a pog if you wanted.
Aerlin	Spore cougher? Sounds lovely.
Rochelle Gwerm	"Sounds like a thing to fight"
Navaya	"probably extremely poisonous, G'hesh"
G'hesh Nhot	"fight then"
Red Redford	im not trained in nature checks
Drufle (GM)	Lann looks terrified as you enter the cave, and then confused slash relieved.
Aerlin	We have no way of curing poisons, let's not.
Red Redford	i hve antitoxin i dunno what that does
Rochelle Gwerm	"Why did you three come out here if you had to pass through here?" "Not something most people would do"
Drufle (GM)	"We don't usually come this way; this is just the shortest path back home." "But look, see there? I think someone killed the spore-cougher!"
G'hesh Nhot	"ghesh clear way"
Rochelle Gwerm	"I am going to bet its not dead"
Aerlin	What's there?
Rochelle Gwerm	"Go get it, Ghesh" Navaya:
Navaya	Perception Check18
Drufle (GM)	There's a large heap of ropy green fungus, and next to it you see two humanoid figures, laying still. G'hesh Nhot charges
Rochelle Gwerm	pffft
Drufle (GM)	You slash into the pile of green, and it spits a little puff of spores out, but is indeed dead.
Aerlin	"Are those...people?"
Red Redford	"Hello?"
Aerlin	Are they covered in spores? G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Longsword (2H) Attack 14 vs AC Damage 8 Type: S
Aerlin	If so, be cautious.
Drufle (GM)	Slightly, but not, like, coated.
G'hesh Nhot	"DEAD"
Drufle (GM)	It seems clear that they killed the spore-cougher. Rochelle Gwerm begins laughing
Navaya	"gooooood job, Girl"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Good job...goooood job."
Aerlin	Let's try to wake them up, then. G'hesh Nhot look pleased Navaya:
Navaya	Nature Check15
Drufle (GM)	Aerlin goes to check the figures, but they are both dead.
Navaya	check the spores
Aerlin	Aerlin looks disappointed.
Drufle (GM)	They're harmless! Well, they are now, at least. Basidirond spores don't last long outside of the beast's body.
Aerlin	"Unfortunate."
Rochelle Gwerm	"Well, not anybody we know, right?"
Navaya	"yeah these are fine."
Rochelle Gwerm	harvest them maybe you can use them
Navaya	i tried that once and the gm ignored me but OKAYYYYY Navaya loots these bodies
Drufle (GM)	The two bodies are wearing fine mwrk chain shirts, and one is holding a potion of CLW, and the other has a scroll of cause fear and a pouch with 129 gp.
Rochelle Gwerm	of spoooores
Drufle (GM)	Their two glaives are laying on the ground besides them.
Navaya	oohh i'mma take these things
Red Redford	"Let's give them the proper rit- wow what."
Rochelle Gwerm	"HAhahahah"
Aerlin	"Seems like they came here looking for a fight." Rochelle Gwerm pats Red on the back
G'hesh Nhot	"FIGHT"
Red Redford	"Come on, guuuys."
G'hesh Nhot	"where"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Already happened, buddy" Navaya pockets(?) the potion, scroll and money
Drufle (GM)	As Navaya loots stuff off the bodies, a small thing falls out of the scroll dude's hand.
Rochelle Gwerm	a bomb! run!
Red Redford	"Not cool! The lords won't like this one bit!"
Drufle (GM)	It's actually a small brass bull's head with rubies for eyes.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh hey another brass animal also rubies, neat
Red Redford	lots of figurines we're collecting
Rochelle Gwerm	Rochelle's gem of choice
Aerlin	"I can give a short prayer. Should help them find rest..." "It is the least we can do."
Drufle (GM)	Alright, since I would be spoiling this otherwise...
G'hesh Nhot	(pokemon)
Drufle (GM)	I rolled Religion for Red. That small statuette is actually an unholy symbol of Baphomet.
Aerlin	pshhh i knew that
Rochelle Gwerm	uh oh
Red Redford	oh then its ok to loot them
Drufle (GM)	In fact, it seems rather obvious now.
Rochelle Gwerm	okay so...what are these creatures then?
Aerlin	"Perhaps...they would not appreciate my prayer, then." "...Awkward."
Rochelle Gwerm	humanoids, rather
Red Redford	"Oh, these are. Cultists."
Drufle (GM)	While the two figures are wearing Iomedaean clothing, true knights of Iomedae would use longswords, not glaives. Glaives are the favored weapon of Baphomet, the demon lord of minotaurs, mazes, and beasts.
Rochelle Gwerm	so wait, does that mean the bat symbolizes something?
Drufle (GM)	The bat was not a un/holy symbol, no.
Rochelle Gwerm	oh okay
Drufle (GM)	Neither was the little spear dude.
Red Redford	"Nothing more than demon worshippers. Be sure to wash your hands after you handle them, everyone."
Aerlin	"Still, what a waste of life."
Anevia Tirablade	"Cultists... we should keep moving. If they're down here, they might be on the surface as well!"
G'hesh Nhot	"wash hands?"
Red Redford	"And burn the corpses." "We don't want them rising as abominations."
Aerlin	"Let's not waste the resources."
Navaya	"and set fire to the whole cave? not likely!"
G'hesh Nhot	"let them come"
Navaya	"who knows how these spores' properties change if they're cooked?"
Rochelle Gwerm	"I'll break anything that rises back up" "Don't worry"
G'hesh Nhot	"fight"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Or we could just lock them up in a room with the dragon"
Drufle (GM)	"Oh, don't worry, the spores will be fine, now that the spore-cougher is dead."
Red Redford	"Ok then."
Drufle (GM)	"I'm surprised the metal-wearing men are around here though, they usually keep to themselves..."
Aerlin	Why would they come down here and kill this thing, I wonder? G'hesh Nhot takes off head from one corpse
Drufle (GM)	Oh geez.
Aerlin	I guess they may have been caught off guard.
Rochelle Gwerm	"So these guys are like, normal here?"
Red Redford	"Who knows what these demon worshippers wa- Oh"
G'hesh Nhot	"this one not get up"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Wonderful"
Drufle (GM)	"Oh, uh, yes. There's a... bad group of our kind who rebelled not long ago. A bunch of these men showed up not long afterwards."
G'hesh Nhot	"bad one gone away" "you have more?"
Drufle (GM)	"Well, let's get going. The less of those men, the better, but I really hope Neathholm is alright..."
Aerlin	We've looted, so maybe its time to move on. G'hesh Nhot walks on
Drufle (GM)	After about another 10 minutes of walking, the party finally enters a massive, almost 200-foot wide cavern with a lake in it. Rochelle Gwerm shrugs
Rochelle Gwerm	oh cool
Drufle (GM)	In the center of the lake lies a little island with a few dozen squat stone buildings.
Rochelle Gwerm	it would be great if Paizo had a mad of this place G'hesh Nhot: G'hesh Nhot : Strength
Check: 8 G'hesh Nhot : Strength
Check: 6
Drufle (GM)	Little rafts line the edges of the island.
Rochelle Gwerm	OH SHIT WAIt LAKE CRAP
G'hesh Nhot	how far did the dead fly head
Drufle (GM)	Not very far, clearly. Rochelle Gwerm begins to look nerveous
Red Redford	is she like a rock type afraid of water
Rochelle Gwerm	she is very heavy she literally cannot swim
Aerlin	"Are you alright, Rochelle?"
G'hesh Nhot	"fight rat"
Rochelle Gwerm	"Fine fine...maybe I should...wait here" also I might sink the raft if I sit in it
Red Redford	well i think she has a good athletics roll
Rochelle Gwerm	I literally am incapable of swimming
Navaya	"get in the boat, rochelly"
Aerlin	I have a scale that can make you float.
Drufle (GM)	I don't think you're literally incapable of it.
Aerlin	I say we tie a rope to you.
Drufle (GM)	Aside from the psychological terror.
Rochelle Gwerm	"No no I'll be okay...just pick me up when you leave..." G'hesh Nhot gets in boat
Red Redford	"If you say so."
Drufle (GM)	Lann and the other two mongrelmen hop on a raft. Rochelle Gwerm puts one foot on the raft... Rochelle Gwerm winces
Aerlin	"If you insist. My floaty plan is fantastic, though."
Red Redford	"I agree." G'hesh Nhot reaches out
Aerlin	"Is it strange to tell a friend that you want to see them float?"
G'hesh Nhot	"fight inside enemy"
Aerlin	Aerlin is touched by Nhot's wisdom.
Drufle (GM)	So very wise.
Rochelle Gwerm	"uhhhhhhhhh"
Drufle (GM)	The mongrelmen are already on the island. Rochelle Gwerm puts her other foot on the boat
Drufle (GM)	They are very clearly used to this.
G'hesh Nhot	ghesh knows fight
Red Redford	are we on a different boat
Rochelle Gwerm	"I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm..."
Drufle (GM)	There's a bunch of rafts and boats.
G'hesh Nhot	and knows young trainee fighters
Rochelle Gwerm	this continues
Drufle (GM)	They just took another one.
Red Redford	oh ok
Aerlin	God, if only we had a canoe expert.
Drufle (GM)	If only...
Red Redford	good music Rochelle Gwerm looks terrified the entire way
Drufle (GM)	Well I'm going to assume at some point, all eight of you get to the other side. Rochelle Gwerm: Rochelle Gwerm : Athletics Check 23
Drufle (GM)	At which point I can finally tell Mopp he can go to sleep, provided he remembers to level up to 2 tomorrow morning. Rochelle Gwerm leaps the fuck out of this boat
Red Redford	ooh!
Aerlin	Yay!
Navaya	yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Drufle (GM)	Because you're there!
Rochelle Gwerm	oh snap LEVELS!!!
Drufle (GM)	Oh, also, Rochelle.
Aerlin	What a fun session.
G'hesh Nhot	brill
Drufle (GM)	There's a lovely Seer in town who just happens to know Cure Disease.
Red Redford	fighting, talking, the works
Rochelle Gwerm	does he help? I would like him to help
Drufle (GM)	The town is congenial to the party, after you helped out the three buds.
G'hesh Nhot	2 for 2 with baceball sword swing
Rochelle Gwerm	phew
Drufle (GM)	He'll give you this one spell for free.
Aerlin	Nice.
Rochelle Gwerm	thank youuuuuu
Drufle (GM)	We'll have a nice talk with the Chieftain next week.
Aerlin	This song is great.

Drufle (GM)	Is that useful or useless?
